*burp*  So many people have been generous to me this year that we have store bought meat.  Last night I rewarded myself with two 4 oz.Filet mignonz.  Reward for what?  For finishing Chapter IX  ( Speaker Pelosi's Sandtwitch) in my novel, "Farewell To Arms, Legs and Breath".  For dessert,  I fixed a nice fried ravioli stuffed with Snickers.  Click for more examples of wonderful things to serve fried. You're welcome.  What's that?  You want to live a long life? Never mind.

Alabama’s Rep. Griffith Will Switch Parties December 22, 2009, 11:32 A.M. Freshman Rep. Parker Griffith (D-Ala.) will announce his intent this afternoon to switch parties and join the Republican caucus.  ”

Nice demonstration of the fear being felt by DINOs, but --!  If there is a real conservative contemplating a run against him, he/she ought continue.  And the Republican party needs to support that challenger.  Yes, I am thankful that he had the courage to rebuke Pelosi, but the GOP is awash with carpetbaggers like Griffith to its, and our, great detriment.  Here's more like him whom Pelosi has a noose ready for.

Kill John Wayne

Завершить Джон Уэйн

I stumbled upon one of my own 2003 blog pages, and found several things that still amuse me.  One especially, "Stalin's Plot to Kill John Wayne," and it triggers a question. Pretend you have in your possession proof-positive documentation that Obama is not a natural born citizen.  Not even a naturalized citizen, for that matter.  Not only that, you possess a surreptitiously taped video of a March, 2008, high level conference attended by DNC brass,  congressional leaders, and certain media executives.  They  discuss whether this revelation about Obama's disqualifying birth status will scuttle his presidential run, or can they develop a strategy to keep it concealed?   You just discovered that your spouse revealed your secret to some friends, and now the Obama White House knows you have it!  The question is -  what is your level of certainty that they will have you killed before letting this information leak?  Mine would be 9 on a scale of 10.  Because there is very little, if any, difference between Stalin's dedication to his ideology, and this government's for their own, very similar, plan to make the United States a better place. Obversely, suppose it was damaging information about George Bush.  Would you fear for your life?   I think I've made my point, admitted or not.

Insert, Click, Snip “ Repealing Obamacare C.K. MacLeod writes at Hot Air: ... (Another way to put it: Passing a multi-trillion dollar government takeover of health care supported by only 35 percent of the public takes 60 Democratic senators; repealing such a monstrosity does not. Though it will take many many more Republicans in the House and Senate than there are now.) On the One-Yard Line? Senior White House Advisor David Axelrod said today that supporters of Obamacare are "right on the one-yard line." It would be more accurate to say that the Democrats are on the 1-yard line -- with the clock running down -- but they trail by 8 points and it's 4th down. They have almost no margin for error. They need to sneak the ball across the goal line for a touchdown (at 1:00 AM, in the Senate), followed by a 2-point conversion (in the House). Then they need yet another score in overtime (back in the Senate) to win. All the while, they'll have to overcome the roar of the crowd, which is audibly and increasingly against them. ”

Well, take another shot after he fixes it “ Roll Call: Nelson Blames Republican Governor for Health Care Compromise "Nebraska voters are dumb farmers; they'll buy right into this" The Democratic linchpin in a delicate Senate health care compromise said Sunday that special goodies for his constituents came at the behest of the state’s Republican governor. A telling omission by Real Climate It should be foremost on the minds of many that the RealClimate.org webserver domain is funded by Fenton Communications, an eco media group. Further, our tax dollars pay the salaries of people like Dr. Gavin Schmidt of NASA GISS who has been (according to several post and comment times noted) using his taxpayer paid time at work to participate in that blog. “Tort reform” section of Reid health bill The “tort reform” section of Senator Reid's substitute amendment is not merely meaningless, but is actually a significant giveaway to the trial lawyers.

CNN: Sarah Palin's 'Death Panel' Comment Wins 'Lie of the Year' Well, if PolitiFact says so ... A clear picture of the Obama national security doctrine is emerging For the moment, this doctrine appears to have three components; denial, threat minimization, and guilt. We should first believe that Muslims and Islamists do not share what they so obviously have in common; we should also accept bin Laden and al Qaeda as the only “core” issues; and, adding insult to injury, we must recognize that we Americans (and Jews) are two of the sources of Islamic jihad, terrorism, and the quest for kalifa. ”

“ I’ll tell you who has fallen from this list: SENATOR KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON. She just voted with the Democrats to stop the Republican filibuster on health care. Add her bailout vote, and she is NEVER going to sniff this list. - Huntsman McRINO ”

There are just two people on this top 10 list I would vote for, under any circumstance, and one of them is Haley Barbour.  Take last year.  I supported, and voted for McCain, a man I detest, out of respect for the "he's better than the alternative" rubric.  But now we have a Republic that's been economically throttled, ideologically co-opted, and destined for perpetual one-world, second class status.  Our next president has to be a revolutionary, committed to undoing everything being heaped upon us now, and willing to use the full force of her office to achieve it.  A president who would not blanch at the thought of prosecuting New York Times editors for treason, when it's called for. And seek the death penalty. Kay Baily Hutchinson is representative of every other contender on this list. I don't trust them, and would not invite them into my home.

Old Spook's lament

“ 20091219 17:41 OldSpook This "healthcare" abomination has made the government of the United States into my enemy. My God, what have they done? Not gonna be here much. Its time to get things in order now before things happen. When the time comes I want to have sufficient lawyers and money and little property that can be seized (and as much money spirited away from the IRS's reach as possible). I already have guns (but refuse to use them in this instance). And here I thought all my years of service would get me to a comfortable retirement instead of a prison cell with my wealth stripped from me by the IRS. Prison is going to be a bitch, Do they pay for anti-coagulant and other medications? If not then I'll simply die sooner. ”

Ben Nelson's Offer

Larry Johnson [No Quarter] is another "lefty" blogger I've come to respect, as I did Texas Darlin'.   His post today, "How the White House Got To Ben Nelson Et al" offers a portside insight that is entirely compatible with what we know about this Thug White House. And the script that the WH read from. I do not know this for a fact. But I do know this. Do you know what I mean? I know that Ben Nelson was threatened by Rahm Emanuel who told him that they’d make sure he loses what he most loves. His Senate seat. ”

2000 Obamacare Pages, Distilled

“ In the first 10 years (2014 to 2023), Americans would have to pay  over $1 trillion in additional taxes, over $1 trillion would be siphoned out of Medicare (over $200 billion out of Medicare Advantage alone) deficits would rise by over $200 billion- unless Congress follows through on the bill's pledge to cut doctors' payments under Medicare by 21 percent next year and never raise them back up -- which would reduce doctors' enthusiasm for seeing Medicare patients dramatically. The CBO's scoring contains what Bill Kristol  calls the key ten words: "reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care." "It is unclear whether such a reduction in the growth rate could be achieved, and if so, whether it would be accomplished through greater efficiencies in the delivery of health care or would reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care." Sen. Ben Nelson's principled (by traditional standards, not the Democrat Party's) stand against voting for any bill mandating taxpayer paid abortions was bought for $4½ million a year (the cost of picking up Nebraska's increased Medicaid tab).  The bill's default position is to pay for abortions; states would have to pass legislation to not fund abortions. Said Nelson, "I was a cheap date" (compared to Mary Landrieu).  Matthew Continetti wrote Expect this sentence to get a lot of play:   "CBO and JCT estimate that the direct spending and revenue effects of enacting the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act incorporating the manager’s amendment would yield a net reduction in federal deficits of $132 billion over the 2010-2019 period." After that, CBO goes on, things get a little iffy: These longer-term calculations assume that the provisions are enacted and remain unchanged throughout the next two decades. Further words escape me. ”
