Steele Balls?

Steele
Mike Steele is a rock conservative - for a Marylander.  I can't say one way or another whether he's the no nonsense conservative executive  this Party needs right now.  But, both Fred and Mitt are too tied to the old establishment for my taste, so I'm glad they declined.

Bad News, Good News   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

The bad news from USS NR this morning: Both Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney turned down the RNC chair job when I offered it to each this morning. (Aren't you glad to know it's mine to give away?) The good news: Mike Steele seems to be a frontrunner in the hearts of the crowd here.

If you can't do this, Obama Wins



Ayers Subterfuge

Obama Confidante Bill Ayers Confirms Role in Obama Circle
A Flashback -- I'm playing two-man football in the backyard with my friend, and first-grade classmate Pat Stack.  He has a firm grasp of my leg, and is about to throw me to the ground when I cry in anguish," Oh-- ! Stop Pat. Stop.  My Leg!"  He lets go, and  I scamper to a touchdown.  A moment later my mom, who had been watching from  the kitchen window of our Chicago two-flat, called me in to chastise me for my detestable subterfuge. Be a man, she instructed.
Ayers Subterfuge
“ How about that? No sooner than the voting was finally underway and Bill Ayers surfaces from the Hyde Park underground for...."spontaneous" simultaneous interviews with the Washington Post and The New Yorker...no doubt part of the rehabilitation effort necessary to enable the Obama confidante open access to the White House.

As might be expected, Ayers attempted to minimize his connection with Obama despite the extensive record and despite the fact that Obama himself told the media that they were in touch as recently as early 2007.

But the New Yorker notes something the Post glossed over: Ayers says his contacts with "the Obama circle" continued until "his name became part of the campaign maelstrom." Now the "maelstrom" really only began a few weeks ago when Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Obama of "palling around with terrorists," which indeed was one focus of the interviews today. -- [Global Labor and Politics]
”
Ayers' can't quite keep his story squared. He asserted that  he knew Obama only slightly, and “my relationship with Obama was probably like that of thousands of others in Chicago and, like millions and millions of others, I wished I knew him better.”  Provably, the blackest of lies, and what one expects from any Marxist. . 

Booby EPA

RFK Jr.: Too controversial for EPA?

A well-respected climate lawyer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has also been in the spotlight for his controversial environmental statements.
Photo: AP  [Sic - Politico]
Too controversial?  Not even Albert Gore trumps Bobby Kennedy when it comes to blithering idiocy.  Bobby and his sister Kathleen were the basis for my PhD thesis: "Quantifying IQ Drain With Each Successive Child In A Typical Irish Family Named Kennedy." Only my lack of a high school diploma disqualified it.  Freaking snobs.  And who in the hell pronounced him "well-respected?"  The same people who named Walter Cronkite "America's most trusted man" no doubt.

But I digress.  Here's the basis by which Obama will be held accountable in the Booby matter.
“ A month ago, Obama sent a letter to the leaders of the National Academies vowing that he would take scientific integrity seriously, even if the verdict runs counter to his own views. He said he'd issue an executive order "establishing clear guidelines for the review and release of publicly sponsored research, guaranteeing that results are released in a timely manner and are not distorted by ideological biases." [Found amidst a sea of irony]
”
Below, the (partial) case against Booby.
“ RFK Jr. blasted for hog farm remarks.
If his name were Bob Fitzgerald, he’d be dismissed as another one of the kooks on the fringe

Voices of moderation dept.: RFK Jr.
Enviro naysayers "should all drink poison Kool Aid and restore integrity to their profession.”

Polluting the Truth
I accuse Kennedy of "crimes against fact."

RFK Jr.’s “Crimes Against Nature”
(”the book affords the fun of a pratfall on every page, most of them occasioned by Kennedy’s epic self-righteousness and astounding disregard for conventional accuracy”).

Après Katrina, le Déluge
Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence. . . . Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and--now--Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children.

Dangerous Kook At The EPA?
Why the "?" ?

Say it ain't so, Barack! Say you ain't seriously considering Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the EPA!
Never mind that he's a booster of pseudoscience, a hothead prone to comparing political enemies to Hitler and Mussolini, and a lawyer whose science background appears to be primarily torturing science to fit his agenda more than anything else.

On, and on, and on ....

You 2 Can Have an Obama

“

A British equivalent of Barack Obama would find it extremely difficult to become prime minister, the head of the UK equality watchdog has said.

Poppycock.  Britain has every advantage we enjoyed during our recent production.
  1. A dominant, Liberal media willing to foreswear journalistic integrity in pursuit of the goal  (BBC).
  2. A population whose priority is 'self' - not God, not country, not principles, not even family, with an attitude of  'the end justifies the means' [Glenmore].
  3. A good looking actor to play the role.

Easy as 1-2-3, wot?

Obamaneer Yoots - OUT
Uniform costs?

LGF reports that Obama Quietly Revokes His Plan for a Draft
“

They’re going through the site and cleaning up the places where it said “require community service,” but they missed a spot on this page: Service | Change.gov.

Require 100 Hours of Service in College: Obama and Biden will establish a new American Opportunity Tax Credit that is worth $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.

”
Just a guess, but it prolly had to do with spending limited resources on a youth mobilization program that the public school system already  has in place.  Plus, and this is rumor, I heard Castro talked him out of it. "All our Pioneers do is fornicate, with no regard to sugar cane quotas.  And today's cost for uniforms is killing us"

Today's Testimony
Tell us your story
By order of Barnet Frank, Chris Dodd, and Bill Clinton

“ Not that I don't want to be a right wing truther now that the shoe is on the other foot, but. I worked for Chase Manhattan in the 90's till 2002 and the golden icon was "community development". Which meant for every 50 good loans you shut up and made the "hood loan". Chase ended up owning half of Compton Ca. We were in fact buying crack DISTRICTS at the urging of the Clinton Admin. Got so bad that LA county issued an arrest warrant for one of the high ups in Chase for not maintaining the properties they owned. So all the way back in 2000 the writing was on the wall, and it just accelerated from there. I still want the aluminum beret though.

Firepower: If it's not working you don't have enough

Palin troot




After all the charges made by nameless cowards, and lapped up by the bull-sh** press, we finally, via Rich Lowry, hear from people who were there.   Steve Biegun, who boned her on foreign policy.  Boned her up on foreign policy. Briefed her! - said he considers the leaks against her on the international stuff "absurd." 
“ He says there's no way she didn't know Africa was a continent, and whoever is saying she didn't must be distorting "a fumble of words." He talked to her about all manner of issues relating to Africa, from failed states to the Sudan. She was aware from the beginning of the conflict in Darfur, which is followed closely in evangelical churches, and was aware of Clinton's AIDS initiative. That basically makes it impossible that she thought all of Africa was a country.

On not knowing what countries are in NAFTA, Biegun was part of the conversation that led to  that accusation and it convinces him "somebody is acting with a high degree of maliciousness."  [More +links]
”
We still don't have a name, or names, but I suspect Biegun, and others, have a good idea who was behind it.  I, for one, want to know.  Because if they're working for me at the Pissatorium, they're gone.  No bonus.  No severance. Gone.

Let's suppose this very soft perspective on Rahm Emanuel/Obama is correct.  It spells Jimmy Carter. The inexperienced technocrat who couldn't control his own Congress.  Am I right?  Except Obama is the inexperienced at everything guy.

Gay Wads

BLOW ME


Another group I'm fed up with are the Gay activists.  Like all the other single issue patriots  that plague us, they would sell their country down the drain to count coup on, in their case, the pharisaical Gay marriage debate.  Again they put it on the ballot, in California and Florida, and again were 60-40 defeated.  So here comes the self-entitled whine.  Next will come the corrupt politician who, with a crooked judge in tow, will trump the election and do what the hell they want.  They can do that because they are in thrall of the Democrat party, just like all the other losers in this country are, and exempt from laws that rule the rest of us.  In case anyone wonders why the DOJ didn't arrest Mayor Newsome for ignoring the last law, you'll find the answer in why the DOJ protected ACORN in Ohio.  Too many are themselves politically active Democrats.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, and takes this as license to gay bash on general principle, don't.  Mine is a political statement only.


Black Thugs, and otherwise

Of a thugocracy mindset


"Thug," we are now being told, is a racist code word for Blacks. Hardly.  Nazi thugs were --? That's right, Aryan.  Lenin-Stalinist thugs were --? That's right,  Aryan.  Chi Com thugs are Yellerish. A good many of Obama's closest friends and supporters are Rainbow thugs. Thugs. Thugs. Thugs.  Barack Obama celebrators like these were not your ordinary riot-for-anything crowd.  They had a certain mindset that I am more than fed-up with. I expect more of it. 
“

Some fired gunshots, a felon accused cops of arresting him “because a black man won for president” and a teenager standing with throngs of passionate revelers used the opportunity to slap a police officer, Cook County prosecutors said.

“White bitches. F--- McCain. You white police can’t do nothing,” 19-year-old Celita Hart taunted officers as she stood with a throng of Obama supporters in the 6900 block of South Western Avenue, Assistant State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto said in a court Wednesday. At some point, authorities said, Hart left the crowd, which had been chanting “Obama, Obama,” walked up to a squad car, and smacked a male officer in the face.

West Sider Narada Thomas, 23, told police he shot a .22-caliber revolver in the air to “celebrate Obama becoming president,” Scaduto said. And 37-year-old Andre Murph, of Aurora, shot a 9mm into the ground several times in the 700 block of West 60th Place to express his joy, Scaduto said.

“It was an exciting night,” Murph’s attorney James E. Thompson shrugged before Judge Israel Desierto.

While Kenneth Smith, a 24-year- old felon, never stated why he fired three rounds at his residence, in the 6700 block of South Ada Street, he complained that officers only arrested him “because a black man won for president,” Scaduto said.

Peer pressure seemed to get the better of 54-year-old Joseph Morgan, who allegedly was caught holding a .22-caliber gun in the air on his back porch in the 5700 block of South Lowe Avenue.

His excuse, according to prosecutors?

“Everybody else is shooting their guns, I figured, ‘Why not?’ ”
