Government Lap Taps

Government Lap Taps? I'd rather take my chances

“ To better track criminals, U.S. wants to be able to wiretap online communications. [Wiretapped phones, now Internet?]

I'm sure they do.  The better plan?  Destroy every snoop cam, arm every citizen, evict every illegal.  Government has moved squarely onto  the "TIME TO REPLACE" square, and at this time is a far greater threat to the nation than anything they hope to forestall with these draconian plans.

Al Franken and the 1972 Olympic baketball final

Al Franken and the 1972 Olympic basketball final democracy overthrown

“ "The first thing we started to do was look at houses with more than six voters in them" Engelbrecht said, because those houses were the most likely to have fraudulent registrations attached to them. "Most voting districts had 1,800 if they were Republican and 2,400 of these houses if they were Democratic . . . "But we came across one with 24,000, and that was where we started looking."... Tea Party Group Exposes Massive SEIU Voter Fraud Scheme?

Even if your team is behind by three scores with 5 minutes to go, there's hope.  Unless the referee has been dishonest in his application of the rules; then it's a farce.  Those of you who like me live in a state where voter fraud is the rule, know the despair and cynicism it fosters.  It is my heartfelt opinion that voter fraud is as serious a crime as selling state secrets during wartime, and should be a capitol crime carrying the death penalty.   Just one instance of successful vote fraud can have cataclysmic repercussions.  Without Sen. Al Franken's pivotal vote,  for example, Obamacare would not have become law. “ ... findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Sean Caddle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid.

El Rukin/Nation of Islam Jeff Fort/ Louie Farrakhan Ghadaffi/Ahmadinejad

“ President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's six nights in New York featured a secret sit-down with militant minister Louis Farrakhan, heckling in a hotel bar, and a fear of being rubbed out that bordered on paranoia. -A'jad monster's ball

“  I watched an American Gangsters yesterday, about Jeff Fort, the founder of  Chicago's community organizers Blackstone Rangers/El Rukin.   Fort had incredible magnetism,  and used it to build the largest, most violent street gang in Chicago's history.  Once, a woman recalled, the gang descended on a funeral home where a guy they'd shot was being waked.  They ripped his corpse from the casket, dragged it the into the street, and proceeded to shoot the hell out of it "to make sure he was really dead." Fort was convicted in 1987 for conspiring with Libya to perform acts of domestic terrorism. I spent the entire time looking for Obama's face among those thugs.  I know he was there.  The parallel between Fort and Obama is manifestly evident.  That's what I see.  That, and some pictures of Mussolini.  -  self indulgent catharsis. ” You can't tell the players without a program

That famous "moderate" Mike Bloomberg

Tonight's self lampooning story lede.

“ In Washington, a new advocacy group decries 'the tyranny of hyperpartisanship.' And powerful New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg throws his support behind candidates willing to reach across the aisle. That's from a LATimes story Tired of 'tea party' sniping, moderates organize Stick a bottle of Scotch in Bloomberg's hand, unzip his trousers, and you have Ted Kennedy.  Okay, that does fit the description of a "moderate" Republican I guess.  What a hoot. By the way, George Will has been doing yeomanlike work lately on behalf of the Tea Party.[George Will Schools This Week Panel on Tea Party Causing GOP Civil War] “ "At the beginning of the year, the question was, will the Tea Party people play nicely with others and will they obey the rules of politics? Who's sort of not playing nicely?" asked Will. "Mr. Crist starts losing the primary to a Tea Party favorite Rubio. He suddenly discovers that he's an independent and changes all his views overnight," he continued. "Mrs. Murkowski loses a primary and suddenly discovers that she has a property right in her Senate seat and she's going to run as a write-in. Senator Bennett thought of that in Utah, Senator Castle in Delaware is thinking of a write-in candidate. Who are the extremists?" ”

How much for that saddle. Oh ...

Which witch Mo? Has a lifetime of drugs and liberal hedonism left Maureen Dowd as dried up and useless as a leather shoe left under the desert sun for 60 years?

“ Two girlfriends of mine who lived in Los Angeles went to lunch one day at a chic restaurant. One was crying over a spilt romance. The sympathetic waiter appeared at the end of lunch to offer four lines of  cocaine on a silver tray. Don't even ask about ladies' rooms in the 70's. -   Maureen Dowd Staying Alive Forever, October 22, 1997 Maureen Dowd

Yesterday we featured bitter liberal Mike Malloy telling Liz Cheney to "go plan your father's funeral,"  Today  it's aging harpy Maureen Down teeing-off on Christine O’Donnell.  Why is Mo exercised to the point of needing exorcism?  Because: Christine O’Donnell is endorsed by the Tea Party and had the temerity to beat  RINO Mike Castle who was a sure thing to beat old Marxist Democrat Chris Coons but now Republicans don't stand a chance because O'Donnel is at least as dumb as Sarah Palin and Christine is behind Coons in the polls and isn't all  this just a travesty? So, we are to assume that this liberal cow wanted Republican Mike Castle to win Joe Biden's old senate seat?   And now, thanks to O'Donnell, a Democrat will take it?  Nuh-uh. She's lashing out at shadows.  Her world order is being dismantled by a movement that, more and more,  has as its figureheads a passel of conservative women!  Vital, lovely, and committed to an ideal and with ideas that have gone viral.  Women like she no longer is, if she ever was. She seems destined to serve out her days at a dying newspaper she helped kill, playing the roll once held by Helen Thomas. A cranky, angry, hateful, and inconsequential hag.  By the bye, Mo, anyone who still champions the concept of Anthropogenic Global Warming is pretty much out of the game of passing judgement on anybody.

Memo to the Maryland Legislature

CLEARWATER, Florida — Knocked to the ground by a would-be robber, 83-year-old Charles Place defended himself — by pulling a gun.  ....  Place was in a restaurant parking lot Wednesday when a man grabbed him from behind and tried to take his wallet. Place resisted and was knocked to the ground - that's when he pulled out a .25-caliber semiautomatic handgun. The assailant, Bryan Treloar, ran and was followed by a witness. Police caught up with him and charged him with attempted strong arm robbery. He was being held on $10,000 bail. Place, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, wound up with small cuts on his hand instead of dead and broke.  [Orlando Sentinel].

“ Only the United Nations has the breadth of membership, the experience and the presence on the ground to effectively represent the world's people and their interests ... for the UN to fulfill its role at the center of global governance, it must be made stronger, more open and more inclusive. - General Assembly President Joseph Deiss ”

Bolton, his ghost  remains in the presence of Czech President Vaclav Klaus, who here responds to Swiss cheese Deiss. “ On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states.   Vaclav Klaus.

Some CBS show

Slippery Minutes

“ On September 19, a week before the new season officially began, CBS’s Lesley Stahl promoted the latest book of Jimmy Carter, and insisted that Carter was a bigger success than most presidents, including Ronald Reagan: "But when all is said and done, and many will be surprised to hear this: Jimmy Carter got more of his programs passed than Reagan and Nixon, Ford, Bush 1, Clinton or Bush 2." Syrupy Minutes

People I know personally, including my own dad, have recounted how Sixty-Minutes took lengthy interviews (depositions), then edited and manipulated them, out of context, to support their thesis du Jour. With the single exception of Hillary's cattle futures fraud (never re-aired), until Bill was impeached,  not a single segment was devoted to a Clinton scandal.  Mike Wallace's  handling of Vince Foster was prolly the last time I watched the show out of habit.  In the 15 years since, I may have watched a dozen times, which is why I was surprised by this factoid. “ Barack Obama was a major beneficiary of 60 Minutes admiration. CBS has devoted hours of air time to the promotion of Barack Obama – five interviews before the election, and six after it, all reported by Steve Kroft. Media Research Center's  Syrupy Minutes  How CBS's 60 Minutes Works Overtime for the Obama Left  is a comprehensive study of how wretchedly biased and politically proactive the show is today. I wonder, though, will anyone but researchers read it all?  I didn't.  I'm already convinced. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY on the left will read this "unhappiness."  Some leftist clearing house like Media Matters will skim through, find a few catch phrases, and publish a thousand words denouncing it.  That will  become the go-to citation for lefty bloggers. Maybe, if we ever get around to "show trials," it can be introduced before sentencing.  Thank God, though, for all that MRC, and it's NewsBuster subsidiary do for this Republic.

"We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day" “ Top Obama adviser David Axelrod got an earful of the liberal blogosphere's anger at the White House moments ago, when a blogger on a conference call directly called out Axelrod over White House criticism of the left, accusing the administration of "hippie punching." "We're the girl you'll take under the bleachers but you won't be seen with in the light of day," the blogger, Susan Madrak of Crooks and Liars, pointedly told Axelrod on the call, which was organized for liberal bloggers and progressive media. The call seemed to perfectly capture the tense dynamic that exists between the White House and the online and organized left: The fun continues

Tim replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing." The preacher put one finger of one hand in Tim's ear, placed his other hand on top of Tim's head, and then  prayed and prayed and prayed.  He prayed a "blue streak" for Tim Kelly, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.

The last time I looked, every brand of coffee on the grocer's shelf had this blurb- "100% Aribaca Bean."  Yesterday I picked up a can of Food Lion's finest because, in case you haven't noticed, coffee prices are through the el-roofo.  The blurb on the can was "100% Columbian Beans."  Well, I don't want no stinking regular coffee, I want Aribaca, so I put it back and ... wtf?  Every - I mean EVERY brand of coffee said "100% Columbian." Not one had the word Aribaca printed anywhere on the label.  Fortunately I am no coffee snob, so I bought the Food Lion for $8.95. But what gives with that? That aside, the thought struck me that coffee is a terrific hedge against a possibly/probably coming black market economy.  The people I know who are addicted to coffee think nothing of spending $5 for a cup of Starbucks; what would they pay for a pound of Food Lion?  You're welcome.  The USB Coffee dispenenser for sale out of your car trunk

Obama's Wars with Michael Gerson

The Bus Stops Here

“ What is most disturbing about the coverage of Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars" is not the juicy bits of conflict and infighting; it is the fact that the White House seems pleased with the image of President Obama that emerges. - Michael Gerson, The reluctant commander in chief

Of the excerpts I've seen from  Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars,"  I thought this quote captured not just Obama, but all Democrat's and their priorities when it comes to fighting wars.   “... he set a withdrawal timetable because, “I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party.” Winning is not a priority. Not losing the country's support; always critical during wars, is not the priority.  No, the priority is not losing  the  Democrat Party.  An organization where Code Pink holds more sway than the Boy Scouts of America, and I'm not making that up. Oh, yes, genuflect to this anti-American constituency; do worry about what Moveon.org thinks.  And get this!  The White House is pleased with Woodard's characterization of a confused and, conflicted Obama's Afghanistan direction. And why is this?   “ Since Americans are conflicted about the Afghan war, won't they be reassured to know that the commander in chief is conflicted as well?  In The reluctant commander in chief  Michael Gerson makes some head-exploding statements like; "Woodward's book appears to be genuinely reassuring about Obama in some areas," [like] "his general commitment to fighting terrorism," and "his focus on the possibility of nuclear terrorism." (I said head exploding). But he also has the good sense to recognize a real problem. “ But a president has a number of audiences, including American troops, the allies who fight at our side and enemies who constantly take the measure of our resolve. None of those groups is likely to be impressed by America's reluctant warrior.   His final words are really all he, or I for that matter,  should have to say on the matter. “ Yes, President Obama has sent more skilled, well-led troops to Afghanistan. But he has also created a strategic challenge for America. Our enemy is patient and determined. Our president, by his own account, is neither. Haven't we been here before?  With this same ugly crowd?
