DIY BLOGAZINE

Say Rodge ...
Where you need my help
I've received quite a few requests like this lately ...
Say Rodge,

With the economy cooling down a bit, I could use some tips on home repair.  I know you're an expert plumber,  electrician, tile man, and all around Mr. Fixit.  Could you gather some of your past DIY posts, and present them in Blogazine format?  Thanks.

Gen. Rushbo v. Saul "The Commie" Alinsky

"... I read his book!"
General Limbo


The trouble with Operation Rushbo is that Alinsky’s apprentices here apparently didn’t make a plan for what to do if the target they’re trying to freeze, personalize and polarize, instead of retreating in fright and embarrassment, simply shifts his aromatic first-hand stogie to the side of his mouth, grins, and growls, “You magnificent bastards! I read his book!”

ENEMIES LIST: Dems step up attacks on Limbaugh; Obama team admits input...
The Left went, and still are, nuts over Richard Nixon's supposed "Enemies List," which turned out to be nothing more than a list of people not to be seated next to him at White House functions.  Not so Obama and his forces.  Anyone seen as a threat, e.g. Joe the Plumber, is subject to having  the full force, fury and resources of government used to destroy them  Obama exhibits every trait of Joseph Stalin in this regard. 

Do any of you have doubts about his capacity to follow through with Bill Ayers' plan, and  "guard against a counter-revolution," by  establishing "reeducation centers," and  "eliminate 25,000,000 people " who fail to come around?   FIE.

The WaPost's E.J. Dionne is a likely candidate for the print media Olbermann Award for Deluded Proclamation.  In the several years I've read Dionne's column, I have not once - never- found one with a connection to reality.  Not one. I can only sputter ...

Will ending the culture wars be as difficult as repairing a broken economy? ARE YOU SHI**ING ME?!  If President Obama's primary task is to restore economic growth, he has also been waging a quiet, long-term campaign to ease the nation's divisions around religious and moral questions.


That venture, which has its roots in a 2006 speech that paid tribute to the political role of religious Americans, bore fruit in last year's election. Obama increased the Democratic share of the vote among Roman Catholics and younger evangelical Christians.... 
Click-Click, Rat-a-Tat-Tat. Obama's the frigging Anti-Christ, and bin-Laden hand-maiden for Gawd's SAKE!

Freedom Study

Socialist Pathfinders
Maryland My Christmas Tree
 A comprehensive study of  freedom in the United States  offered some surprises.  Maryland being dead last in personal freedoms, and Alaska at the top were not among them.  Colorado and South Dakota among the top three freest is intuitively startling.  So I'm not so smart after all.  I haven't read it yet, but I'm betting there's lots of good blog fodder here. Wait a minute ....

Okay, I just wanted to see if today's New York Times acknowledged New York's status as overall Most Oppressive State in the Union.  It didn't.

Mega thanks, and and a coupon for two bourbon Manattans,  to rockville for the tip.
Abstract

This paper presents the first-ever comprehensive ranking of the American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres. We develop and justify our ratings and aggregation procedure on explicitly normative criteria, defining individual freedom as the ability to dispose of one’s own life, liberty, and justly acquired property however one sees fit, so long as one does not coercively infringe on other individuals’ ability to do the same.

We find that the freest states in the country are New Hampshire, Colorado, and South Dakota, which together achieve a virtual tie for first place. All three states feature low taxes and government spending and middling levels of regulation and paternalism. New York is the least free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California and Maryland. On personal freedom alone, Alaska is the clear winner, while Maryland brings up the rear. As for freedom in the different regions of the country, the Mountain and West North Central regions are the freest overall while the Middle Atlantic lags far behind on both economic and personal freedom. Regression analysis demonstrates that states enjoying more economic and personal freedom tend to attract substantially higher rates of internal net migration.


Olbermann gets neutered

Olbermann, Joe Biden's Twin?
My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class.  Keith Olbermann, Playboy magazine


Only psychpaths like Joe Biden and Keith Olbermann could shamelessly ignore a lifetime of pratfalls, exposed lies, and general idiocy,  and continue a public charade of competence.  They have to share DNA, there's no other answer.  Here, Olbermann gets trumped in spades by Ann Coulter [OLBERMANN'S PLASTIC IVY].
Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.

The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1.01 applicants).

Olbermann's incessant lying about having an "Ivy League education" when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a "Yale man."
The sound you hear is Olbermann's empty sack flapping against his pasty white thighs.
