Public Servants? LOL

How public servants became our masters

“ In April 2008, The Orange County Register published a bombshell of an investigation about a license plate program for California government workers and their families. Drivers of nearly 1 million cars and light trucks—out of a total 22 million vehicles registered statewide—were protected by a “shield” in the state records system between their license plate numbers and their home addresses. There were, the newspaper found, great practical benefits to this secrecy. “Vehicles with protected license plates can run through dozens of intersections controlled by red light cameras with impunity,” the Register’s Jennifer Muir reported. “Parking citations issued to vehicles with protected plates are often dismissed because the process necessary to pierce the shield is too cumbersome. Some patrol officers let drivers with protected plates off with a warning because the plates signal that drivers are ‘one of their own’ or related to someone who is.” ” Excerpt from   Class War: How public servants became our masters - A real puker

Blogger Rights

PSA EEF

“ Bloggers' Rights If you're a blogger, this page is for you. One of EFF's goals is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues you may confront as a blogger, to let you know you have rights, and to encourage you to blog freely with the knowledge that your legitimate speech is protected. To that end, we have created the Legal Guide for Bloggers, a collection of blogger-specific FAQs addressing everything from fair use to defamation law to workplace whistle-blowing. In addition, EFF continues to battle for bloggers' rights in the courtroom: Bloggers can be journalists (and journalists can be bloggers). We're battling for legal and institutional recognition that if you engage in journalism, you're a journalist, with all of the attendant rights, privileges, and protections. (See Apple v. Does.) ”

Bill Maher is a tiny person

More Maher

“ On Monday’s Tonight Show, Maher snarked about the dreaded Sunday School teachers, organists, moms in jumpers, and little girls in patent leather shoes who “control the national dialogue” and “perpetuate mass delusion” – through electromagnetic microwaves, I suppose, that shoot from church steeples to the implants in his brain. Maher explained to Jay Leno that places of worship are where “people go to retell nonsense stories from a time before men understood what a germ or an atom was, or where the sun went at night.” ” Just now I'm wondering why I'm posting more stuff on Bill Maher?  Just yesterday I did the Larry King interview where Claire commented: "He's also about 4'11". srsly. *I* could smack him around til he cried... Take about 12 seconds. [and I'm a guurl] 'Sides - that would be punching down Maher's reached Olbermann status; he's only newsworthy when he says something rational, and this ain't.  I saw it on David Horowitz's News Real Blog, and couldn't resist I guess.  'Nuff said.

Royal Pains-in-the-ass

Obama to Senate: Stick that in your advice and consent clause.

“ The chutzpah here is something to behold. The pride of Harvard Law School, Ms. Warren is a hero to the political left for proposing a new bureaucracy to micromanage the services that banks can offer consumers. But she is also so politically controversial that no less a liberal lion than Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd has warned the White House that she probably isn't confirmable. A President with more political and Constitutional scruple would have nominated someone else. Mr. Obama's choice is to appoint her anyway and dare the Senate to do something about it. - Elizabeth III ”

Reaching out to what?

Tea Party Fights All-White Image Here's yur "reaching out"

“ The Tea Party movement has an image problem that it is urgently trying to change: It's viewed as a whites-only group. Washington Whispers ” "Reaching out" in this context carries a supplicatory connotation; "Please, what must we do?"  In Lib-talk it means, "do what we want and we'll be friends."   Guy named Matt Kane (runs the Tea Party organizing group" called FreedomWorks) will not agree with me,  that the very thought of Teapartiers reaching out  pumps yellow bile into my throat.  Matt told Paul Bedard,  "We do need to reach out."  In fairness, Matt's idea of  reaching out was a new Web site , called "Diverse Tea," where minorities can share their stories of backing Tea Party candidates. That's better than putting reparations on the table; but a sterile, useless gesture nonetheless.  The Tea Party is a spontaneous movement, fueled by the raw feelings and emotions of millions of Americans who love this country; who have a sense of the history that made us a great people; and who want it all back. We despise the gatekeepers from both political parties who sold us out  We HATE socialism.  Hate it.  Let's be real here; thems what think things are just terrific; who love what today's government does to them, and want more of it! - well, they're not Teapartiers; not part of the process.  How do you reach out to people who don't share even fundamental values?  You can't; you don't try.  If we're successful, their children will have a chance at a decent education, and live in a free society though.They'll grow up to be Americans. Sheesh.

“ Let me see if I got this straight. This lady is the target of creditable threats, and the FBI, instead of going after ours and her enemies are telling her to hide??? WTF!!!! What an outrage. Hello FBI, you guys are suppose to protect the lady and the nation, not go all dhimmi on us. Encouraging the lady to hide (and give up her career) and give up her life is cowardly on the part of the FBI. I would recommend the lady be given a special gun permit for her safety, one for a semi-automatic, and the lady should be given firearms training by the FBI. comment from BIG PEACE ” Washington State has a carry law; no special permit required, but this is a disgrace.   Finding the source of the threats would require some "profiling, " and I think everyone in the room knows SMERSH is not going to investigate any crime carried out by protected ethnic groups.

Old Sea Story

“ There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad. The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.  The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!" The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear." He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz." THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Someone may come along and promise "Change", but don't count on things smelling any better. ” Merrily

Ms. Johnson's Adult Education Class A true incident

The Facts: “ When: September 7, 2010 Where: Palm Beach State College, Lake Worth, FL Christina Beattie had received prior permission from college administrator Olivia Ford-Morris to promote her organization - Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) - on campus during "club rush." On the day of club rush,  Ms. Ford-Morris approaced the group's table, and was visibly disturbed by the material presented --  published by the Heritage Foundation, and criticizing President Obama’s administration. She called the campus police to assure the group left campus. Ms. Ford-Morris denied giving permission to the organization to be a part of PBSC club rush. Christina Beattie asserted, “I was shocked and offended by her dishonesty. She outright denied giving me permission to table at Club Rush simply because she disagreed with my beliefs! ” The Discussion Ms. Johnson: Okay class, somebody here is lying, and it's Ms. Ford-Morris!  How is it we can make that assertion, with 100% certainty,  knowing only the facts presented?  Any one? Yes, Carl? Carl: We know she's a lying bitch because she's a woman! Ms. Johnson:  They're both women Carl.  Get over the divorce and move on with your  life.  Anyone else?  Stephanie? Stephanie: I think we know she's the liar because only affected Liberals would sport a name like "Ms. Ford-Morris." And all liberals are liars, out of necessity. Ms. Johnson: That's an interesting observation Stephanie, and would be proof-enough if we were willing to settle for 95%.   Anyone else?  Oh geez.  Yes Johnny. Dirty Johnny:  I need to take a piss!!" Ms. Johnson: You know --  Johnny,  -- you do this all the time.  The correct word you want to use is 'urinate.'  Now use it in a sentence so I'll know you understand this time, and you can go. Dirty Johnny  Ummmm ...  You're an eight, but if you had bigger tits, you'd be a ten. Ms. Johnson: Go!  And don't come back today! The reason we know with certainty that  Olivia Ford-Morris is lying,  is she acted  only after learning that Ms. Beattie's group was conservative.  By her actions she  exposed herself as a liberal, since only they --  Stephanie,  you were real close here -  only liberals are in the habit of stifling free speech to protect their ideology.  People so engaged are base, and not to be trusted in any circumstance.  Take that to the bank.  Yes Bill? Bill: Ms Johnson, aren't you Olivia Ford-Morris's lover? Ms. Johnson:  Yes, and she'll be sleeping on the couch tonight. Stephanie, can you stay after class?

“ A federal judge said Tuesday he will likely dismiss only parts of a lawsuit by 20 states challenging the Obama administration's health care overhaul as unconstitutional, though he didn't specifically say what portions. Plaintiff - "By imposing a mandate on inactive individuals they are eviscerating state sovereignty," Obamunist hack - If Vinson upholds the states' challenge, he would overturn decades of law enforcing the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce, said Ian Heath Gershengorn, deputy assistant attorney general."This court is free to disagree with Congress' policy judgments but it is not free to overturn 75 years of Constitutional law," he said. Gershengorn is referring to Roosevelt's cowed court overturning 150 years of Constitutional law, which was okay.

Protection from Shariah! Outrage?

D.C. Police Enforce Shariah Law

“ What happened in Washington, D.C., should remind us of the peaceful sit-ins of the 1960s. The courts found that the police action removing people from private businesses violated the Equal Protection Clause. In a series of cases the lower federal courts and the Supreme Court reversed convictions of black and white civil protesters who were convicted under state criminal trespass or disturbing the peace laws when they sat in the “white-only” section of various lunch counters and restaurants and refused to move after having been ordered to do so by the agent of the establishment. Specifically, an imam from the The Islamic Center called police to remove three women who were worshiping peacefully in the main prayer hall after he told them it was "men only,"  They complied.  Ronald Rotunda's argument in this Pajama's Media story, is that "There are precious little differences between the sit-in cases of the 1960s and the Muslim sit-in cases."  One, the courts ruled, violated the equal protection clause based on race; this one is based on gender. All this (somehow?) leads me to ponder over this question about gay demonstrations, and church invasions by gay activists. ?  If gays are upset because the Catholic church won't sanctify homosexuality, where are the demonstrations, and  mosque invasions?  I mean, what the hell?  Shariah law demands their freaking execution!  Someone 'splain, please.

An Epic Win!

Just Poetic

“ Mike Castle was ... the most anti-gun Republican in the House. The implications of [O'Donnel's]  win are huge, not only for the next session of Congress, but also in a potential lame-duck session later this year. Because this is a special election to fill the seat of Vice-President Joseph Biden, O'Donnell will take office immediately following the November election if she defeats her Democrat opponent. Anti-gun congressional Democrat leaders seem intent on a lame duck session, but the addition of just a single constitutionalist to the Senate will go a long way towards stopping any gun control from sneaking through in the waning days of 2010.  [More] ” This is, potentially, the stuff of Hollywood.  Pretty heroine overcomes backstabbing politicians in her own party; is elected to U.S. Senate to replace the corrupt Vice-President, and president of the senate, who breaks any tie vote.  Heroine's vote, for all practical purposes, renders him useless and saves nation.

CRIST HANGING ON BY HIS NECK

“The slight edge Crist held over Republican "Tea Party" favorite Marco Rubio in August has evaporated and turned into a wide deficit as he courts what appears to be a fast- shrinking moderate vote. A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday showed Rubio far ahead in the three-way race to succeed Republican Senator George LeMieux, with support from 40 percent of likely voters. Crist had 26 percent while Democrat Kendrick Meek had 21 percent. Florida's U.S. Senate election is widely viewed as a referendum on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy, and Rubio appears to be landing knockout punches bashing Obama.  (Reuters) Pass the popcorn

New Democrat Logo

Democrats Ditch Flag for Daffy "future of the party"

“     The Democratic National Committee has revamped both its logo and website in hopes of taking on a sleeker, less bureaucratic perception among voters.     The re-design went live on Wednesday morning with an accompanying tag line: "Democrats: Change That Matters." In place of the former logo -- DNC in block letters filled with an American flag -- the committee opted for a capital D engulfed by a blue-band circle. Kaine had touted a "major" announcement about the "future of the party" today, and this is it. Democrats have now taken Obama's car metaphor to its most literal possible conclusion: [MoreFun] ”

Truer words ....

Kicking the Status Quo to the Curb No More Beltway Bozos NOTICE!

“ I don’t like the Democrats because they are statists. They are for big government and more taxes. They are also for mob rule. They want a democratic society, not a Republic. That is a disastrous recipe. Big government always leads to tyranny, democracy lacks the limited government structure of a Republic, which makes it harder for corruption to prevail. Democrats seem to love corruption. They wallow in it like pigs in their own dung. That’s why they seek to undermine our limited-government constitution at every point. You can go back to Tammany Hall right up to today to see their disregard for the rule of law. Rangel and Waters were merely caught. They are far from outliers. I dislike the Republicans because they don’t practice what they preach. They’re supposed to be the party of smaller government and lower taxes. But they are just like ’70s Democrats now. Aside from the Bush tax cuts, they’ve expanded government and spending to obscene levels. When the Democrats came into power they just made the Republicans look conservative by contrast. Less terrible is still terrible. [James Hudnall  continued] ”

Why Ruth Marcus finds Christine O'Donnell's victory so scary

“ I’m despondent. From the Democratic point of view, the defeat of the moderate, well-known Castle turns what had looked to be a lost cause into a likely win. Keeping the seat in Democratic hands could be the margin of control in the Senate. So the folks who focus on electing Democrats and keeping a Democratic majority can't be blamed for breaking out the champagne over O'Donnell's win. Not me, for two reasons. First, I had thought the silver lining of this election year might be to produce a Senate with a more robust cadre of moderate Republicans. That caucus has pretty much dwindled to the two senators from Maine, with very occasional company from colleagues such as Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown and departing Ohio Sen. George Voinovich. It's awfully hard for a caucus of two to break with the party.  Ruth Marcus ” I pray my giddiness here is not like seeing in the brilliant light of a nuclear blast where I put my car keys.

Krauthammer v. Limbaugh

The Duelists

Q. When two people you have the utmost respect for square off, holding diametrically opposed positions, who do you root for?  A. The one who's on the right side.

Krauthammer: Palin & DeMint Endorsements of O'Donnell are Destructive, Capricious, and Irresponsible The Limbaugh Rule: Vote for Most Conservative Candidate in Primary Charles Krauthammer: The Palin endorsement, I think, is disruptive and capricious. Bill Buckley had a rule that he always supported the most conservative candidate who was electable; otherwise the vote is simply self-indulgence. Baier: Now Jim DeMint, from South Carolina, also endorsed Christine O'Donnell: Krauthammer: equally capricious and irresponsible. I'm not sexist on this. It's a big mistake.... We still have people who think that professional Washington politicians are the way to fix this, and clearly it isn't.  Some of these people are citing the Buckley Rule.  ...  I know what the Buckley Rule is.  ... You vote for the Republican, slash, conservative who can win.  To me, this requires clairvoyance ... Okay, let's just assume that it's correct. Let's assume that Christine O'Donnell is down in the polls, Democrat polls, by the way, by 25 points.  Okay, fine.  If she's the best option we have to stop what's going on once she gets to Washington, why not try to make up the 25 points?  We got socialism, communism, liberalism on the ropes.  It's too risky?  Let me tell you something.  It's worth the risk.  We're talking about saving the [blank] damn country.  What do you mean, too risky?

Selling stuff to Islamaos

Thinking the worst of Obama is only prudent Saudi Arabia May Receive $90 Billion in U.S. Arms

“ If consummated, the sale comes at a moment when Saudi society is in flux, facing heightened contradictions. Saudi king Abdullah, who has made various attempts  at social and political reform, remains isolated and opposed by many of his retrogressive family members and the official Wahhabi clerics.  Irfan al-Alawi and Stephen Schwartz ” The Wahabbis of course schooled all (or nearly all) of the 9-11 bombers. Ahem. So here we have it.  A president named (and acting like it) "Hussein," who is famously anti-American in thought, word and deed; and who pisses away a  billion dollars like it was a party favor,  wants this $90B.  Me too, except I know that nearly all of it will be used to solidify his radical political base, just like nearly all the rest of the $900B in "shovel ready" stimulus funds have.  Also, is the technology he is selling comparable to the missile guidance technology Bill Clinton sold to the Chinese Red Army?  Because anything the Saudis get is likely to become available via lend-lease to any group that hates our guts and promises to use it.  I don't for a second think that would bother Barry. I don't trust him. The country can't afford to. Note that I didn't call Obama a prick, so everything here should pass muster.
