Typhoid Barry

Tyhoid Barry and the parasites

When I read yesterday that Obama was infested with parasites, I figured it was union scum who beat up on Girl Scouts,  or the ATLA, or whatever ambulance chasers call themselves now, or any number of parasites that are the  Democrat's natural constituencies.  Didn't you?  Go figure.  Barry caught an actual parasite that's evidently digesting all his calories before his body gets to them.  Of course he will, as he is every night, be mentioned prominently in my prayers.  I just won't get near him if he invites me to dinner.

Riverside Hospital

North Brother Island-Riverside Hospital

“ Of all the forgotten and mysterious places in the Five Boroughs of New York City, few have histories as rich and interesting as that of North Brother Island. Situated in the Hell Gate, a particularly treacherous stretch of the East River, North Brother was home to the quarantine hospital that housed Typhoid Mary, was the final destination of the General Slocum during its tragic final voyage, and was the site of an experimental drug treatment program which failed due to corruption. Riverside Hospital ...

That folks is a specter The exam table in the morgue. Note that this was not the autopsy table, which would have been a single-piece lipped table with sluices for the blood to drain. Sadly, this artifact was removed from the island in late 2008. "The exam table in the morgue. Note that this was not the autopsy table ... ."  Whoa!  I know it can't be, but this, obviously, came immediately to mind.  *shiver* Place gives me the heebie-jeebies.  Amazing that this is NYC.  Lots of pictures, and a good narrative.  Typhoid Mary.  Whew.

Also in the news ... Acorn’s Man Going To The DNC “ Tim Kaine, chair of the Democratic National Committee, has announced that White House political director Patrick Gaspard will leave the West Wing to become executive director of the DNC. As documented by Matthew Vadum of the conservative Capital Research Center and others, Gaspard has considerable ties to the radical-and-providers-of-tax-preparation-services-to-prostitutes Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. In September 2009 Vadum discovered a blog post by Acorn founder Wade Rathke boasting that Gaspard had been Acorn’s New York political director. As this could have caused embarrassment for the Obama administration, Rathke scrubbed the blog post and put up another one claiming that his memory was in error. [IBD] ”

Mann Act

This reminds me

This reminds me of when Mr. Hill, our scoutmaster (Chicago),  told us that when he was young, if you were standing at the streetcar stop next to a woman who yelled "Rape!," you were going to do time.  Period.  So now, he said, if you're ever railroaded, all you need to do is get three people to testify that they had sex with her too, which would show she was a wanton woman, and you'd beat the rap.  I'm not condoning any of it; don't even know if it was true.  Just saying what happened. Gave us a sense of security, even though not one of us had experienced puberty.  Anyway, I guess this Mann Act waiver was also part of the package back then.  I wonder what ever happened to Santa Siciliano?

The Truth Wears Off

The Truth Wears Off

“ For many scientists, the effect is especially troubling because of what it exposes about the scientific process. If replication is what separates the rigor of science from the squishiness of pseudoscience, where do we put all these rigorously validated findings that can no longer be proved? Which results should we believe? Francis Bacon, the early-modern philosopher and pioneer of the scientific method, once declared that experiments were essential, because they allowed us to “put nature to the question.” But it appears that nature often gives us different answers. [The Truth Wears Off]

I see a direct link from the explosion of junk science that plagues us, and Obama's birth certificate question.   For instance. Penn State professor Michael Mann is positively shown to have manipulated data to promote a rapid, recent rise in the Earth's temperature [See Climategate], attributable to my use of hairspray.  Much of his scam is believed to have been prepared while employed by the University of Virgina however.  Requests for access to his UVA papers had been refused by the University,  until newly elected not-a-democrat Virginia A/G Ken Cuccinelli took UVA to court - and won!  So, finally, we get to see what Al Gore's brain trust was up to in the erstwhile era.  Who could complain about a little sunshine?  That's right. Va. Democrats look to stop climate change probe Hard left liberals, which today include every democrat in congress, have always fought tooth and nail to prevent sunlight from creeping in.  And, even when the sun prevails, to the point of burning their collective asses, they will still continue the stonewall.  To this very day some refuse to believe Alger Hiss was a commie MoFo.  Refuse to believe the  Rosenbergs were guilty.  Refuse to this day, despite overwhelming evidence. that claims about man cause climate change were manufactured, congressional democrats are still trying to pass climate change legislation.  Even though the Obama administration has proffered not a single piece of authenticated evidence of  his U.S. birthright, people who question it are (in the Soviet style, I might add) deemed crack-pots. They don't care about Obama.  They care about how they will look if the truth outs.  The truth has worn off of everything boss.  Everything.  History is rewritten.  Transcripts are altered.  News goes unreported.  If you and me are schooled in two versions of history, guess what happens?  No, don't guess.  It's happened. But Rodge, what can we do about it?  The first step is to understand the enemy. Evan Sayet is a great primer. The next step is to use a flamethrower on them.

There's deja-vu all over again

When there's deja-vu all over again

“ I'm remembering when we were youngly married and living in Camp Springs, MD. I had a good job, but we were house poor, and every nickel counted.  On payday we'd treat ourselves to a PAPPY's PIZZA .  Sundays were dinner at my parent's, and we'd both search the crevices of couches and chairs for loose change.  Every once in a awhile we'd hit the mother lode; enough lootage for the Ranch Drive-In with a six-pack of Natty Boh ($2.10 total). One killer thing was when the military got a pay raise.  We shopped at the Food Fair, just outside the main gate of Andrews AFB. We had already noted that at the end of the month, when they received their pay, that prices on everything rose, and nothing was on sale for a few days. The gummint pay raise soldered the food hike permanently. We, unfortunately, did not get a corresponding hike, and it hurt  Once, with a visit from my in-laws pending, we had to float a loan from HFC in order to put on a feed for them.  The big Sunday dinner featured a sirloin tip cooked on the charcoal grill. I had it marinating in a bowl on the drive-way, but when I went out to get it the sumbitch was gone!  I had an inkling, and sure enough found Boomer, our German Shepherd, crouched way in the back of the yard with it.  Fortunately I'd discovered it before Boomer had time to do much damage. After furtively looking at windows, and finding nobody watching, I hosed it down and went forward [actual picture above].  It was as I remember, delicious.  Dog saliva enzymes are good tenderizer. We now, once again,  find ourselves in a local economy ruled by government paychecks, which are quite generous in these parts.  With inflation looming already here, and once again finding ourselves with a fixed income, I see - as Yogi Berra once observed - deja-vu all over again.  No more parent's couch though.  Did you ever see Fun With Dick and Jane? ”

After watching several times, this is what I deduce.  Two girls have an automobile accident, and are either insured, or not insured?  No matter;   one threatens the other with decapitation if she won't make love to her and she calls the police who arrest her.   They are virgins. Not the cop though.  Does that sound about right?

HU's on First?

Millions of won-wons will be lost if we nuke Three Gorges Most will remember the controversy during Vietnam about bombing North Vietnam's dike system.  Would have caused a complete collapse of the North's ability to grow rice, and lead to starvation and capitulation.  Needless to say, we did not.  Worse, we announced that we would not. Fast forward. I watched the most fascinating  (2 hour long, I think) documentary on Planet Green last night, about building the Three Gorges Dam.   Yes, I know, this Discovery Channel  offshoot is devoted to selling every crackpot enviro-wacko plan on earth.  It's what Al Gore was prolly thinking when he started Current (which I hear is now showing Three's A Company reruns 24-7).  But I digress.  The first thing that struck me was what China was willing to do  in order to treble its industrial output with a super navigable Yangtze River.  1) Bury under water forever 5000 years of Chinese culture and artifacts; 2) Displace millions of their poorest  people who absolutely did not want to leave.  Our government won't even let us drill for oil.  But, this is the fun part, and what I wanted to tell you. The narrator noted that if the mile-long dam should collapse, it would kill millions, and send the Chinese economy back to the stone age (where it was before Clinton became president).  Ahem.  Hu ought be bowing to whom?

Barry's OKC II

Updated RE:Obama's OKC Poll shows high marks for Obama on Tucson, low regard for political dialogue

I referred earlier to a suggestion that Obama "needs an event ‘similar’ to OKC to ‘reconnect’ with voters."  I wondered if the Giffords shootings would suffice?  As events unfolded however, and it became apparent that this was the act of a deranged left-wing liberal, and despite the media trying desperately to blame it on Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, it seemed a no-go for Obama.  However, if this WaPost story is accurate (and I'm about to show it is not), it is working for him. “ Evaluations of President Obama's handling of the Jan. 8 tragedy are highly positive across the political spectrum, with nearly eight in 10 giving him high marks for his response to the incident. A robust 71 percent of Republicans say they approve of his leadership following the shootings. The strong reviews of the president's response to the Arizona incident - which included giving a prime-time eulogy at a memorial service for the victims - have helped boost Obama's overall approval rating to its highest point since last April. Fully 54 percent of all Americans now approve of the way he is handling his job as president, while 43 percent disapprove.  ”  Almost immediately after hearing about the shootings I had this question.  How is it that this could happen in a state that has a carry law?  How can Jared Lee Loughner walk down the line, ala Colin Ferguson, and shoot people without someone blowing his ass away?  Ferguson was able to execute 6 people because he did it in New York, where only criminals have guns.  But Arizona?  Last night it struck me.  This event was held by Democrat Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and attended by Democrats.  There wasn't anyone there who believed in self defense! So, how can I square that with these gun control "facts" from the article? “ Overall, 52 percent favor stricter gun-control laws, a number little changed in recent years and down from where it was after the 2007 shootings at Virginia Tech. Support for new restrictions on the sale of semiautomatic handguns is also down from what it was after the Virginia Tech incident. About a third - 31 percent - favor a blanket prohibition on the sale of all handguns, except to law enforcement officers, which is comparable to public opinion after the Columbine school shootings in 1999 in Littleton, Colo., and lower than what it was after Virginia Tech. ” The answer is that the POST is playing fast and loose with the facts, if not outright lying.  Poll" WaPost Full of Crap Related 1.

O wants national ID card for online commentary

“ Federalized security screening at airports has been such a success that President Obama wants to apply the same government "expertise" to the realm of online commerce and commentary.  The White House cybersecurity adviser joined Commerce Secretary  Gary Locke on Jan. 7 to announce what amounts to a national ID card for the Internet. Their plan is straightforward. Instead of logging onto Facebook or one's bank using separate passwords established with each individual company or website, the White House will take the lead in developing what it calls an "identity ecosystem" that will centralize personal information and credentials.  ... Obama's Internet passport ” I forgot who tipped me to this over the weekend, but it's just ... just so over the top, even for this regime,  that I'm speechless, gobsmacked and projectile vomiting.  This old joke will have to suffice. There was a huge flood in a village. One man said to everyone as they evacuated, "I'll stay! God will save me!" The flood got higher and a boat came, and the man in it said "Come on mate, get in!" "No" replied the man. "God will save me!" The flood got very high now and the man had to stand on the roof of his house. A helicopter soon came and the man offered him help. "No, God will save me!" he said. Eventually the man drowned. He got by the gates of heaven and he said to God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "For goodness sake! I sent a boat and a helicopter. What more do you want!"

Obamacare Return

Return Dept.

“ A warning to C-SPAN junkies: With a House vote coming this week on health care reform repeal, prepare to relive a year’s worth of health care speeches jammed into two very long action-packed days. [DC] ”

The donks have that CBO report claiming repeal of Obamacare will add $230 billion to the deficit. WTFF? Common sense argues against that bulls__t, but common sense counts for nothing, but then neither do facts. Just a guess, but repeal depends on the public's overwhelming and loud support for repeal; enough that Senate Democrats will fear for their lives and will follow the House.  I'm being over simplistic, but that's all I care to write about something I've already writ about 200 times.  As an aside, the Obamacare bill will have your medical history digitized and made available across the network.  Here's a little something Tom Mann just alerted me to.  Look yourself up, and tell me how you like it.  It's easy to remove yourself, which we did, but every member of your family is spider webbed back to you.  How long before your health records are available to anyone for $2.95?

Faux History

Five myths about why the South seceded Number of words: 1401 By Sociologist James W. Loewen, author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me

“ One hundred and fifty years after the Civil War began, we're still fighting it -- or at least fighting over its history. I've polled thousands of high school history teachers and spoken about the war to audiences across the country, and there is little agreement even on why the South seceded. Was it over slavery? States' rights? Tariffs and taxes? As the nation begins to commemorate the anniversaries of the war's various battles -- from Fort Sumter to Appomattox -- let's first dispense with some of the more prevalent myths about why it all began.  ”

The article title got my attention. I wondered whether Loewen would deliver anything worthwhile on the subject, since it's one I've held a lifelong interest in, predating even puberty.  He didn't.  What he calls "myths" are discussions about things that no school kid is ever exposed to unless they major in History.  Subjects like the Nullification Crisis, Southern states loss of clout in the congress, tariffs and taxes, etc.  If there is any popular myth about why the War Between the States,  it's that the slavery issue alone caused it.  Responding to his 1400 word assertion would require me to review the 10 billion words, from 10 thousand books, papers, and private letters I've read on the subject, not to mention reincarnated memory, so I wont. Besides, any author who finds himself compelled to include this passage in a serious historical review gives himself away. “ "So poor white Southerners supported slavery then, just as many low-income people support the extension of George W. Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy now. ” Filed under pasty-face liberal asshat sociologist.

Dana Milbank And The Continued Crusade To Falsely Link Beck And Palin To Violence

“ Kurtz: “It’s fair to hold a talk show host responsible for what some violent or perhaps unbalanced person does because they like what this person says on the airwaves?” Milbank: “Yes Howie in the aggregate . . . [they] need to worry about that fraction of 1% who just might be driven over the edge. Milbank's Fault.  Drives.  Me.  Nuts. “ Milbank offers the final justification for his assertion by saying “in Glenn Back’s case, I’ve documented a few cases in which it’s led a crazy person to snap.” Therefore Milbank believes even though rhetoric of the right might not be responsible in this case, attacking Beck and Palin now is a legitimate form of “rough justice” for their past sins. Milbank’s argument follows the tortured logic of Media Matters founder David Brock who claimed Beck was responsible for three thwarted assassination attempts either because a psychopath claimed Beck as an influence or some tangential evidence existed to suggest an unstable lunatic may have watched Beck at some point in their life.

Euro calendar omits Christian holidays

“ A 2011-2012 school calendar published by the European Union has omitted Christian holidays, while continuing to note important Jewish and Muslim celebrations.  ”

She went on to lament that Christianity has “fallen into the limbo of collective ignorance.” ” There you have it then.  The components which are to form the cultural assembly of "new" Europe.  Surrender is easy if practiced enough.
