Oh. we're so freaking sorry; it's our fault

Made to Order for Zero

“ Mr. Calderón praised President Obama's recent initiative to curb drug demand. But he also said there was a correlation between the increase in drug-related violence in Mexico and the lapsing of the assault weapons ban in the U.S. in 2004. Mexico has seized some 45,000 assault weapons under Mr. Calderón's watch, most of them smuggled from the U.S. "I respect the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution," Mr. Calderón said. "But the truth is that these weapons are not going into the hands of good Americans, [they] are going directly into the hands of criminals." Mexico's 'Eliot Ness' Seeks U.S. Help ” Clinton used The OKC bombing;  look for Obama to use the lawless Messican crime spree that's  our fault.

Joe and Gene Show Redux

This morning I direct your attention to articles by the only group more confused about the Tea Party movement than the Republican Party; asshat liberals.  First, Joe Conason.  Of all the hacks who made a living defending President Bill Clinton's every fart and burp, Conason was among the most shameless.    He managed to go eight years without writing a single paragraph that could survive a rudimentary fact-check.  Here he is, toady, on Salon. “ How will Republicans, and in particular Washington's’s neoconservative Republicans, cope with libertarian-leaning Rand Paul as their party’s Senate nominee in Kentucky? Having denounced the son of Ron as a kooky isolationist only days ago, their responses to his victory have ranged from sugarcoating to stunned silence. Now they just want to hold that seat. ” Just fine Joe.  But, who are these neoconservative Republicans, Joe?  Mitch McConnell?   That's what the Tea-party is about you clod; America first, not a political party.  The only difference between today's elected Democrats and Republicans is not all Republicans are shameless liars.  And no Republican is a socialist, Marxist, Maoist, Obamunists, nor any other kind of  ideologue-ist.  Gah! If Conason had a peer when it came to apologizing for the Clintons, it was Gene Lyons, a co-author with Conason of The Hunting of the President: The 10 Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Take it away Gene. “ One minor mystery of the Obama administration is whether the president has actually believed that the nation's most intractable problems could be solved by the wonder-working power of bipartisanship and the emollient balm of his personality. He wouldn't be the first politician whose ego convinced him he could sweet-talk his bitterest opponents. ” That's the lede from his Salon article, No, GOP, you can't have the car keys back;  your warning to have a vomit bag at the ready.   Salon, by the way,  is the interweb's version of HBO;  giving face time to Bill Maher types who are otherwise unemployable.  Lyons continues with a paean to the greatest job creationist since Michael Dukakis pulled off the "Massachusetts Miracle."     “ It's a fact. Should current growth persist, the U.S. economy will gain roughly 1.7 million jobs this year. From 2001 through 2008, the Bush economy generated about 1 million. ” Let's forget that the Administrations "job creation" numbers are rife with this sort of fraud “ Recovery.gov also shows 2,893.9 jobs created with $194,537,372 in stimulus funding in New Hampshire’s 00 congressional district. But, there is no such thing. ” Or that Moody's estimates that offering tax breaks to businesses that hire new employees,  creates jobs at a cost of ... $43,000 a pop!  Let's forget that George Bush inherited Bill Clinton's dot.com recession, and turned it around with tax cuts.  No, let's see if four years hence Obama's bone crushing taxes a-coming yield anywhere near a million net jobs created (and government jobs don't count).  Any bets?   Marcus  Aurelius Miller

Chinese commie bastids

Big Whoop

One of the things that annoys the hell out of me recently is the "China discovered America first" storyline.  It's all the  rage on the various Hitler channels.  Fits in with the Great We're So Sorry apology  theme Obama ushered in.   Big freaking deal if they did. What effect did their discovery have on the world?  Zip. On history?  Nada. On anything? Bupkes. The Chinamen, if they indeed made the discovery,  squandered the opportunity.  Europeans did not a few decades later. They won; China lost, and wound up giving westerners all their stuff for opium.  Oh, you so velly smot! I always find myself wanting to demonstrate the concept with a personal example. You know, something I discovered but didn't act on.  But nothing ever comes to mind in those few critical seconds before I lose interest.   Now, thanks to Tim W, I have just the thing for the next time it happens.  This was my brainstorm three years ago, and now someone stole it. Yes, I think the bastid should acknowledge my ground breaking thought bubble, that eventually fell on his head, but he won't.  My own damned fault too. And I'm being a mentsh for admitting it.

Kagan Hearing Hurry

Hurry

I see  Leaky Leahy has moved the Kagan confirmation hearings to begin  next month.  Hmmm.  Despite the cheerful tone of this article,  the hearings  could become very contentious.  Every day is bringing new, damaging information about this Noam Chomsky with a brassiere.  If she is forced to bow out, Obama needs time to get a stand-by in place before the Senate falls into the hands of Republicans, which new members will not be all Orrin-Hatchy.  Just my guess about why they're pushing so hard.  Or a hope?

Civil War

Cult Film I'm a cultist

A comment by Casca makes me once again recommend to you The Second Civil War.  The HBO film won an Emmy, but was scarcely promoted during its brief run on that network.  Here are the only two trailers I can find, but they ought to tweak your interest.  I was hoping it was a "Watch Instantly" selection on NetFlix, but no.  It was made as a comedy, a very dark comedy, but comedy nevertheless.  Today it's very close to being a documentary you'd watch on Frontline. (The volume on the second video is much louder than the first)

Guilty Verdict Handed Down by the Obama Columbia Jury

“ Mail fraud, wire fraud, Obstruction of Justice and Sedition were the main charges. I would have found Columbia University not guilty of any charges that involved them knowingly undermining the country. I just do not think they knew back in 1981 that they were taking part in a conspiracy to undermine the Government. Their silence about Obama attending Columbia University during his campaign does not meet that level of conspiracy in my opinion. I do not think that was proven, but they can appeal it if they like - The Conservative Monster.com ”

“ In one of the updates on this trial, it has been reported that a scheduled witness Wayne Allyn Root has withdrawn from his participation at the last minute.  Mr. Root was the Vice Presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party in 2008 and was also in the same graduating class as Obama has claimed to have been in at Columbia University.  He has been quoted in various sources to have no knowledge of any Barrack Obama or Barry Soetoro attending during his years there.  There is also no record in yearbooks of a student by either of these names.  Mr. Root seems to have decided not to testify based on disagreements of some of the subject matter that is scheduled to be brought up at the trial.  In interviews, he has also maintained being proud of his Alma Matre, Columbia University.  It is not known whether this may have also contributed to his decision to withdraw from the proceedings against Columbia. - Examiner ” The trial was held in Harlem, and yielded charges by the irascible Pastor Manning that a a CIA "hit" on him failed after nobody would carry it out.    Manning claimed that "Obama worked with the CIA for 4 years (1981-1985) in Pakistan assisting the Mujahadeen fighters during the Soviet-Afghan war," the time period be was supposedly attending Columbia. Bizarre, yes, but so is evertything about a Kenyan's cake-walk into the preisdency.  Giddy-up.

“ Politics Daily: Iowa is one of four states that have never elected a woman to Congress (Mississippi, Delaware and Vermont are the others) and one of only two (along with Mississippi) that have never elected a congresswoman or woman governor. Why is that? Conlin: "I don't know the answer to that. Certainly I have asked about it for decades and worried about it . . . We've had great candidates for Congress . . . We've had great candidates for governor [like me]. It just doesn't happen. ” Just something trivial that caught my eye.  Isn't it possible that those womyn were not as qualified as the men they ran against Roxy?  Is that beyond the realm of all reason?  Sheesh.

Each package is typically brought into the U.S. in a backpack by a drug runner "mule". Photo by unidentified photographer.

“ An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border. ” If anyone can find out who the plaintiff's lawyers are,  please let us know.  They deserve widespread recognition for their efforts.

"I did not lie ... I may have misspoken" Democrat Richard Blumenthal

Connecticut's attorney general - the likely Democratic Party nominee for Senate - lied about serving in Vietnam, it was reported Monday. Although he portrayed himself as a Vietnam vet for years , Richard Blumenthal - whom Democrats have been counting on to retain the seat held for 30 years by Christopher Dodd - got at least five deferments from 1965 to 1970, according to The New York Times. With his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, virtually guaranteeing he would remain stateside. [story] The brother of the bride whispered to one of the ushers, "I just realized that, except for Sis and my mom, I've banged every girl at this reception."  The usher drolly responded, "Wow, between us we've screwed them all."   I get the feeling that Democrats, looking at the electorate, use the same line. ”

This Whole Thing Blows

Bullcrap

Escape From ...

I am again reminded, by this, of a tale from the Great Depression era (soon to be called "GD One").  A popular magazine, which name escapes me, ran a cash prize contest which were all the rage during those bleak times.  Readers were asked to submit their solution to how a Tom Swiftian character, perhaps Tom himself?, escapes from this dilemma. My concoction is faithful in substance to the original. “ "Tom has fallen into arch-enemy Andy Foger's trap, a nearly bottomless pit with sheer walls. He has no rope, no tools, and his only clothing , his underpants, got snagged and were ripped off as he fell.  A cursory examination reveals that the walls contain no  crevices with which to gain purchase, and are studded with  razor blades anyway.  A green noxious, heavier-than-air gas, which Tom recognizes as deadly, seeps from below, and is now at waist level.  Etc. Etc." ” The prize was a generous $100, and elicited thousands of responses, some several dozen pages long.  The winning entry, however, contained but six words. “ In a Flash, Tom was out! ” Now that the Administration is losing support from one of the triumvirate groups comprising the Donk's "Axis of Schlecht" (with Blacks and unions),  they are scrambling to get out of that hole in this election season. On Thursday Rahm Emanuel told a group of rabbis, "We screwed up."  The Obama administration has “screwed up the messaging” about its support for Israel over the past 14 months.  "Messaging?"  For  14 months?" In a flash?  Probably.

I watched a replay of "Crossing the Line," Dateline's doc on Debra Lafave.  She was  the Florida female school teacher (one of many recently) who had sex with a male student, in this case a 14 year-old boy.  When the case broke in 2005, I (speaking for all men) ... was stunned that this very, very beautiful, 23 year-old married teacher would have sex with a 14 year-old boy. was extremely jealous  that a 14 year-old could realize most men's (not mine)  fantasy. was incredulous that teacherette-underage boy coming-of-age instruction was anyway comparable to man-underage girl rape! had no idea what women thought about her.  Straight women.  After watching Matt Lauer's interview, I am now impressed with her as an up-front, sincere woman who had a reasonable defense, but is willing to accept the consequences without whining.    I wish she would run for Congress. Here's the first 8 minutes, or so.  All segments may be found here.

The Gulf Oil Spill in Perspective Rep Joe Barton presiding

“ I want to put this in perspective, Mr. Chairman, before I have to yield back my time. This accident as far as we know is releasing 5,000 barrels a day into the Gulf of Mexico. It has been doing so for approximately three weeks so that’s a little bit over 100,000 barrels. The largest spill in the Gulf of Mexico to date was a spill off the coast of Mexico. It produced 90,000 barrels a day for nine months, 90,000 barrels per day for nine months. Exxon-Valdez was a tanker that ran aground in Alaska, that was a supertanker that was three to four hundred thousand barrels of oil. So far this spill has produced a little over a hundred thousand barrels. Now that in and of itself is a significant spill and it is a non-trivial incident, but it is nowhere near yet the order of magnitude of other accidents that have happened around the world. There is a natural seepage in the oceans around the United States on an annual basis of four million barrels a year. There is an annual seepage worldwide of over forty million barrels of oil per year. So this, while it is an accident that is non-trivial, it is not of the catastrophic consequences that some in the mainstream media have made it out to be.

Cronkite aided Vietnam protesters

“ "[Redacted] told group he had been to CBS Channel Six in Orlando prior to meeting to speak to newsmen about Vietnam moratorium activities. [Redacted] related that while at TV station, Walter Cronkite, nationally known radio and television commentator, spoke to him by telephone for approximately forty five minutes and that Cronkite reportedly told [redacted] that CBS would have thirty six hours of coverage on Vietnam moratorium with 'open mike' to give demonstrators a chance to be heard. Cronkite noted, according to [redacted], that Senator Edmund Muskie would be in Orlando, Fla., November 13 instant for Democratic fund raising dinner. According to [redacted], Cronkite suggested that [redacted] attempt to Muskie to come [sic] to Cape Kennedy to speak at Kelly Park rally to be held November thirteen instant. Cronkite allegedly told [redacted] that CBS would rent helicopter to take Muskie to and from site of rally at Kelly Park." ” My-my-my.  Barn Army jet ace Tim W picked up on the earlier discussion, and sent this story from Cronk's FBI files. .  This pretty much closes the case on Cronkite; Jane Fonda by comparison was an American patriot.

Who Pays? We do.

Beyond Their Comprehension

“ Society will demand that BP pay, and they will, but in the end it is we who will pay. We can take all their profits, which would mean they would not re-invest them in finding and producing more oil for us, so our prices would rise. We will increase taxes and regulatory costs on the industry as a whole, which will be passed on to we the consumers. Yes, BP makes a lot of profit, but they employ huge amounts of capital to do it, and over decades neither they nor the rest of the industry have returned significantly more as a percentage than business in general (and a lot less than many fields.) We, the investors, will not give BP or the oil industry the capital to provide us with oil unless we are compensated for it - by we, the consumers. If the oil companies are taking unacceptable risks (as certainly seems to be the case) then we, the consumers, are going to have to pay more for our gas and oil to 'allow' the oil companies to reduce the risks (or just not operate where the risks are too high.)

Sarah Palin at National Rifle Association

With jokes about being a redneck and the revelation that her girlfriends held a baby shower for her at a shooting range, Palin gave the crowd, many from small towns across the South and West, a dose of folksy.

“ "Some of these animal activists are just...crazy," she said. "They think we're killing Bambi's mother. I love animals, but in Alaska, Bambi's mother is dinner." Then, saying she was proud of being labeled a "redneck," she regaled them with a string of one-liners defining the term: "You're a redneck if you've ever had dinner on a ping pong table." Laughs. "You're a redneck if you've ever had a custody fight over a hunting dog. Well, Todd and I haven't, but we've got friends who have!" More laughs. "You're a redneck if your honeymoon was a hunting trip. That was us!" A whole lotta laughs. Wait, there's more. "You're a redneck if you've ever used a fishing license as ID. "You're a redneck if you've ever slept in the back of a pickup rather than pay for a hotel. "You're a redneck if you've ever said to your husband, 'Honey, move the transmission so I can take a bath.' "And you're a redneck if you think the last words of 'The Star Spangled Banner' are 'PLAY BALL!'" The audience laughed so hard my ears will never stop ringing. Read more ” Compare hers to the laugh lines Democrat  crowds respond to. "Republicans are stupid" (Laughs.) "I hate Republicans" (More laughs.) "Limbaugh is an idiot " (A whole lotta laughs) It's why we'll win.

Those KGB Files ...

Why doesn’t anyone care about the Soviet document archive?

“ For evidence of this indifference, consider the unread Soviet archives. Pavel Stroilov, a Russian exile in London, has on his computer 50,000 unpublished, untranslated, top-secret Kremlin documents, mostly dating from the close of the Cold War. He stole them in 2003 and fled Russia. Within living memory, they would have been worth millions to the CIA; they surely tell a story about Communism and its collapse that the world needs to know. Yet he can’t get anyone to house them in a reputable library, publish them, or fund their translation. In fact, he can’t get anyone to take much interest in them at all. ”

That's what I think With our access to Soviet files after the USSR break-up, I wondered how it was that only Euro "journalists" were being outed as KGB assets?  I expected to have revealed an  Edward R. Murrow file.  It was Murrow who shaped CBS News by bringing in the likes of Walter Cronkite, whose own legacy continues to shape the networks anti-American politics to this day.    Ed Morrissey asked "When was the last time we saw a movie with a Communist villain?  1959?"  With all the films about how Joe McCarthy (who had nothing to do with Hollywood) persecuted the "Hollywood Ten," you'd think one would have documented that all of them were card carrying communists, ordered by the Comintern  to make sure Joe Stalin, or communism, was never portrayed negatively in film.  Gah, I'm getting wound up.  Read Morrissey.
