A pProblem and a Solution

Attack Monkey Media              The Obama Defense Team

“ Anybody who thinks that we can nominate somebody who is not going to be the focus of a media-destruction campaign is asinine,” Limbaugh said today, as he analyzed Mitt Romney’s strong victory over Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul in the Florida Republican Primary. Whoever we nominate is who the campaign is going to be about, the election. It’s not gonna be about Obama. The media can’t let it be about Obama. If it’s about Obama, he’s sunk! It’s gonna have to be about what a reprobate racist, sexist, mean-spirited, heartless creep the Republican is. And I don’t care who the nominee is. It’s gonna be about that. [Rush Limbaugh] Which was exactly the case in 1996, and again 2008.   There is a way this can be controlled. During the 2008 silly season, for instance, Howard Kurtz (Wa Post) wrote: “ Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says. ” The FCC could, by fiat (or, congress by legislation), say this.  Media news stories will be treated like paid commercials. So, for example,  if there were 900,000 minutes of media coverage, and 600,000 was  pro Obama, the collective media would be fined 150,000 minutes( the advantage Obama was given) *the going  advertising rate.   In this case, media would've been  compelled to give the McCain campaign (in weekly installments)  that sum of cash to use in counter advertising.  I'll guess the McCain campaign would have received about $3 billion in 2008.  This all makes sense to me, so it must be right.  ”

Winter Hummingbirds WTF

Hummingbirds spotted. In Maryland In January

MoSup was at the bird store and the owner told her about a hummingbird feeding in the Annapolis area.  Like now.  "We didn't believe the stories, so we went there, and sure enough there is a (Rufous) hummingbird feeding in Edgewater"  Still, I had to look into this myself.  Truthfully, I was somewhat— alarmed is not the right word, but learning that western hummers are migrating east had me wondering, what do they know?" Here's one explanation. “ Borchelt suspects his rufous may stick around longer. “What I think is happening,” he says, “is that birds from the Canadian Rockies go east across the Plains on fall migration (instead of down the eastern side of the Sierra) and find patches of resources where they hang out for the season. For rufous, winter here isn’t that much different from early spring in the Rockies—they’re really hardy little birds.” “There’s an emerging consensus that ‘vagrant’ hummingbirds [those that winter outside traditional ranges] are some kind of genetic ‘scouts’ programmed to prospect for likely winter habitat,” adds Borchelt. “Mine seems to have hit pay dirt. She may have moved in for the season . . . as long as I keep the feeder unfrozen!” ” If for some reason (ahem) the internets and electronic broadcasting should be interrupted, I know that I will find ample entertainment watching our grandchildren (before they get too old) and our birds, of which we have hundreds (birds, not chillens)  that make our yard "home."  Winter hummers would be a real treat.  Now, if we can somehow get bluebirds and orioles ... .

Obama and what's his name ...

You'd think the best and the brightest would be beyond Mr. Obama's crude populist pitch. You of course would be wrong.

“ In the days after his Washington lecture, Mr. Obama took a shorter version of his SOTU speech on the road—to Colorado, Michigan, Iowa, Nevada and Arizona, states he needs in November. On the White House website, you can see him give this campaign tuneup speech at the new, $5 billion Intel chip-fabrication plant in Chandler, Ariz. It's worth watching and pondering. You'd think the best and the brightest would be beyond Mr. Obama's crude populist pitch. You of course would be wrong.

“ ...  when Obama and his lawyer wrote a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp last week refusing to attend the hearing on Obama’s eligibility status, they included a copy of the image that the White House released last April. They also sent a copy to the court of Judge Michael Malihi, the hearing officer, whose ruling is expected to be made available in the next few days. That act, Taitz explained, effectively gave the court a copy of the White House documentation, and under ordinary rules of evidence the opposing side is supposed to have access to the original to verify the authenticity of the purported copy. “They submitted a copy and said this is a copy of the original birth certificate. Now the other party has a right to examine the original,” she said. ['Green light' to see Obama's Hawaii files] I didn't know that Obama's lawyers included his April 2011 birth certificate.  I think even I would have recognized the  openining they gave the prosecution.  I find all this simply deleicious.  The chances of that last released certificate being real are zero (0) .   ”

Secret Weapon

WHAT GUMMINT DOES

“ In Secret Weapon you'll learn what our enemies know and what the Obama administration has chosen to ignore—that our financial system is profoundly vulnerable to financial terrorism - (we've  witnessed three stages; the fourth (coup de grâce) is next. -UPDATE> Federal taxes to jump 30% in 2 years! The premise of Kevin Freeman's book will not surprise anybody here.  In April of 2008 I read Who piloted 9-18 plane? on Free Republic, and have been expanding on it since.  What Secret Weapon can achieve  is serving to  alert to the majority.  People who cannot find it within them to think we can be had that easily.  Or, that our government are  spectacularly dysfunctional and inept, at best; or our deadly enemy.   Despite an avalanche of evidence, Americans still cannot wrap their minds around the possibility of government conspiracy, of which I believe Obama's presidency is the all time leader. A few weeks ago Ann Barnhardt reported that banks in California are refusing to let customers make cash withdrawals.  Preposterous? Yes.  Can they legally do that?  No. But they are.  Just recently I've heard a rumor (MoSup heard it on the radio, but can't source it) that Bank of America is planning to disallow home mortgage payoffs.  The only way you will be allowed out of the mortgage,  is to sell the property.  Can they do that?  Evidently they think they can.  But why would banks want to act this way?  This may be an answer. Robert H. Hem­phill: If all the bank loans were paid up, no one would have a bank depo­sit, and there would not be a dol­lar of cur­rency or coin in cir­cu­la­tion. This is a stag­ger­ing thought. We are com­pletely depen­dent on the com­mer­cial banks for our money. I may buy Freeman's book just to find out what he thinks government ought be doing.  I'll bet a dozen donuts it includes going way entrepreneurial again.  Drilling Alaska oil, and closing the EPA's doors for starters.  In the meanwhile, we are so far gone that my only short term solution is  the secession of at least one state.  A base for rebuilding a failed Republic, and keeping a bunch of us safe from the gummint gestapo that's about to ramp up. . ”

Coming together, some violently

“ Nobody I fear is more cynical than I about this year's election.  Don't want to be; just am. So, these two suggestions from readers struck a cord.  Original, proactive, and all-American; they are keeping with the spirit that made us a great people. Clap calp clap. From Tom Smith I am getting this feeling that the two political parties and candidates believe that the tea party is dead or inert. I suggest that we donate to these candidates in denominations ending in "6".. $6, $16, $26, etc. Let them know that tea party dollars are out there. Back to the martini lunch. From cuzzin ricky This year's election will decide the next President of the United States.   The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.  To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice in civilized fashion, Democrats and Republicans alike.   If you support the policies and character of the Republican party, please drive with your headlights on during the day.   If you support Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night. ”

God Bless America and other savagery

At The Cinema "D-Fens" meets Mickey and Mallory

“ ” Death Wish theater audiences stood and applauded when the Bronson character executed his "first assignment."  Me included.   I certainly sympathized with Michael Douglas's "D-Fens," in "Falling Down," but recognized that he was unhinged.  Still, I think both films tapped into the public disgust with where our Liberal culture had led us. In a way, the same may be said for "Natural Born Killers," where Mickey and Mallory went on a Charlie Starkweather- Caril Ann Fugate-type killing spree.   But, director Oliver Stone wasn't appealing to my senses.   I wanted M&M to die about 5 minutes into that movie.  No, Stone was likely grooving with the  "Occupy," hate-America crowd,  with whom he shares an ideology. In God Bless America, writer and director Bobcat Goldthwait might be trying to exploit my utter disgust with the whole Obamunist thing. Just going by the trailer.  I hope not.  Hope I don't find it too righteous, because I am way too receptive  at the moment.  I'm prolly not alone.  It is billed as a comedy, so ... .  Now, I'm going to watch "The Bell's of Saint Mary's" I'm not kidding.

"I Lied To My Diary" Legacy

Plague

“   Future Democrat Party Poster Boy Josh Steiner, in 1994 Joshua Steiner, 28, chief of staff at the Treasury Department, kept a diary in which he recorded devastating things about his bosses. He wrote how the White House put "intense pressure" on Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman to remain in a position that could protect the White House. Then he wrote how Altman "gracefully ducked" Senate questioning on the matter, even though Altman was under oath. Steiner also wrote: "Every now and again you watch a disaster unfold and seem powerless to stop it." So why does any of that make Steiner, a Yale graduate and Rhodes scholar, stupid? Because when asked in the Senate Whitewater hearings how he could now attempt to backtrack, his excuse was "I lied to my diary." [Account] I remember,  like it was yesterday,  watching  Senate Watergate hearing witnesses escape charges of perjury as Sen. Paul Sarbanes deftly prodded them into more obscure "I don't remember" testimony. I remember,  like it was yesterday, watching Senate Democrats under the direction of Sen. John Glenn, change the Senate hearing into the Clinton-Gore campaign's money laundering racket,  into a call for campaign finance reform.  For his services, Glenn had several million dollars in campaign debt paid off, and got another ride into space.  But, he lost his soul.  I remember,  like it was yesterday, the gleeful  anticipation with which Washington's  press corp awaited  Harold Ickes running rings around  Rep. Dan  Burton's committee that was investigating Al Gore's Buddhist nun money laundering scheme.   He did—  by simply pulling a Josh Steiner; He lied about  his own documents. Why not?  He knew Janet Reno would never refer a House perjury charge to a federal court. He was praised for his skillful performance.  I remember,  like it was yesterday, because it was,  reading about Eric Holder's  (Janet Reno Jr,) coming appearance before the same House Oversight Committee.  This time they are  investigating him, and the president.  Investigating their   scheme to get guns into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels.  Why?  So that ensuing murders,  committed using those guns,  would be blamed on America's lax gun laws.  So that Democrats could move to disarm Americans.   Ranking member, and Second Amendment foe Elijah Cummings (D MD)   "released a 95 page waste of paper and taxpayer money report, alleging that top Justice Department officials did not authorize the program, despite evidence showing otherwise."   America can no longer win a war, or control its borders if  today's elected Democrats have any say in it.  Nor can we return to the Rule of Law  if they can help it.  They are, simply,  a plague.  (Note)  This began as a proper rant.  Proper rants must be ripped off in one breath, and this was.  All of it in one long sentence.  Unfortunately I had to make dinner, and in the intervening time succumbed to spell checkers, punctuation, and links.  Sorry.  Ain't worth warm spit now, but trust me.  I was livid. .  ”

Light Sabre Attack

REAL NEWS President Obama campaigns in Portland Man held after alleged 'Star Wars' light saber assault at Portland Toys R Us

“ Coincidence? A 9-1-1 caller reported the attack at 9:50 p.m. Wednesday and said a man was swinging the "Star Wars"-style weapons at customers inside the store at 1800 Jantzen Beach Center, said Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson. Though police initially reported the man  struck the customers with one lightsaber, Simpson said Thursday he had one saber in each hand While the caller was still on the phone the man walked out of the store — lightsabers in hand — toward the parking lot, police said. Officers tried to arrest him, but he kept swinging the lightsabers at them, Simpson said. One officer tried to use his Taser but the device didn't work. Another officer used his Taser, but  the man  knocked one of the wires away with a lightsaber. ”    thoR

Another NY Liberal Slimebag Story, *YAWN*

When Liberals Are In Charge

“ Alan Rosenfeld — a 66-year-old disgraced typing teacher — hasn’t taught since he was accused of making  inappropriate comments and leering at 8th grade girls in 2001, but still collects $100,049 a year from the city, the New York Post reports. Rosenfeld, a millionaire businessman and attorney, could have retired at 62 but, a friend told the Post, “It’s an F-U” to the school system. And every year he stays onboard, his $85,400 yearly pension grows by another $1,700. His case is one of seven in the New York City Department of Education, where teachers the department can’t fire are “rubber-roomed” — essentially meaning they don’t do any real work but keep getting paid.
