Mayor Daley lays out strict speech rules for Chicago

“ CHICAGO (AP) — Annoyed by recent court rulings that expanded First Amendment rights, Mayor Richard Daley on Thursday introduced what city officials say is the strictest Speech ordinance in the United States. The measure, which draws from ordinances around the country, would strictly limit political speech in Chicago, even prohibiting home owners from stepping outside their homes, even onto their porches or garages, with an unauthorized sign. What? I'm sorry, that should read "Second Amendment"  rights.  Silly me.  All Bill of Rights amendments look the same to me. ”

It really isn't close, but Barry will prolly overtake him

Edward "Ted" Kennedy

The recent laughable results (see post below) from academics attempting to select the best presidents ever, and my own experience with many of them, forced me to this conclusion. They can no longer be trusted to do surveys, or make pronouncements, and are certainly unqualified to select the "Most Vile American Ever'"  I'm not talking about things like putting gerbils up your ass.  I'm talking people whose actions damaged the foundation of this great nation.  As this blog's leading historian, I've been honored by my peers who asked me to make that selection.  In doing so, I draw from nearly 100 years, give or take, of collected  readings, watchings, and most importantly today, feelings, to announce the "winner," and four runners-up.  Without further ado then - George Mc Govern FDR tied with Roger Baldwin William Jefferson Clinton Barry Marshall Obama Soetoro ....  and the number one "Most Vile American Ever.".

Obama's flyinh monkeys

“Disappointing that Obama sent over double  the amount of funds to Mexico than to AZ Guard.”

Snipettes from Amy Miller's  I Will Stand Behind Jan Brewer “ ...  I think Governor Brewer’s obvious anger is a good thing, because it finally shows–if I may be so bold–that Jan Brewer is OVER IT. She’s done the dance, sung the songs, met with the bureaucrats, and what has it gotten her? A pretty lawsuit, and a battalion of Obama’s flying monkeys bearing a friggin’ POWERPOINT presentation. The situation is so devolved it’s almost comical. On one hand we’ve got the President of the United States throwing together a slideshow basically telling a fellow executive officer to go jump off a bridge; on the other, we’ve got idiot politicians rolling over for the minority vote, and US cities feeling completely comfortable with giving the finger to federal immigration laws .... ...  right now, Obama is daring Jan Brewer to defy his Administration.  ... Standing behind Jan Brewer means standing up in the court of public opinion. It means not keeping your mouth shut when you hear people talking about that disgusting bunch of racist pigs down in Arizona. It might mean losing friends; I personally have lost two over this whole mess, but I’m okay with it if it means that by doing so, I regained little bit of control over the debate.   ”

Today's "nothing more can be said" Obama trumps Reagan, academics say in survey

dysfunction junction “ The 2010  survey included Mr. Obama  and gave him a surprisingly strong showing - in the top third of the pack and ahead of the 18th-ranked Reagan. And Mr. Obama wasn't even tops among living Democrats - that honor went to 13th-ranked Bill Clinton, one of only two presidents ever to be impeached. ”

Sea Change

Inquiring mind ...

I've asked this before as an aside, or a comment,  but I really do want to know.  In the event that, say, the entire left coast fell into the sea, would California, Oregon and Washington's congressional delegation be unseated?  When?    Who decides?  I think this needs to be settled anon! I've been praying real hard, and there's a " tingling."

A Shrink Asks: What's Wrong with Obama?

Well, he is one you know. Cuzzin Ricky brought this, what I missed, to my attention.  First thing I saw was this apparent lede --  The 9mm won't save your ass Obama!  It's actually an oddly placed advertisement for combat arms training, but it made me wet.  Robin of Berkeley, a shrink from  ... you know,  begins ... "Obama's odd mannerisms intrigue a psychotherapist like me. He also presents a serious diagnostic challenge. "   Actually this is a good read even if it was about a nobody.  Here's a few snippets about Mr. Nutjob. “ For one, Obama's teleprompter and the men behind the Blackberry keep him well-scripted. We know so little about the facts of his life. But it's more than just a lack of information. Obama himself is a strange bird. He doesn't fit easily into any diagnostic category. Many people attribute Obama's oddness to his narcissism. True, Obama has a gargantuan ego, and he is notoriously thin-skinned. Yet a personality disorder like narcissism does not explain Obama's strangeness: his giggling while being asked about the economy; his continuing a shout-out rather than announcing the Ft. Hood shootings; or his vacations, golfing, partying and fundraising during the calamitous oil spill. Take also Obama's declaring on the "Today Show" that he wants to know whose ass to kick. Consummate narcissists would never stoop to this vulgar display of adolescent machismo. Obama is flat when passion is needed; he's aggressive when savvy is required. What's most worrisome is that Obama doesn't even realize that his behavior is inappropriate. So if it's not just simple narcissism, what is wrong with Obama? Since I've never evaluated him, I can't say for sure. But I can hazard some educated guesses. If I saw a client as disconnected as him, the first thing I would wonder: Is something wrong with his brain? And I'd consider the following theoretical diagnostic possibilities. --Physical problems: There are a multitude of physiological conditions that can cause people to act strangely. For instance ... continue ” What the hell is it with Democrats? Bill Clinton almost certainly a sociopath, Algore completely unhinged since voters dissed him in 2000; John Kerry afflicted with pathologies that break new ground, Obama a  ... . .  I just read  Congressional Democrats think Americans want what they’re selling, by Gary Andres.  More of the same.  These people are so sure that they're right to the point of insanity.  Like I said, rabid dogs, all.

What kind of sorry-ass votes for Harry Reid?

The same airbrains who vote for Mike Schneider.

“ Nevada subcommittee seeks tire pressure check law State Sen. Mike Schneider, a Las Vegas Democrat, says it will increase highway safety, save gas and reduce air pollution. The bill would be considered during the 2011 legislative session. Not all lawmakers were for it. Republican Assemblywoman Heidi Gansert of Reno said while checking air pressure in tires is a good idea, she opposed mandating tire checks, saying it comes down to personal responsibility. Duh! ” JFC!

Tea party chucking another favorite

“ The pattern has become familiar in GOP primary fights this year, with "establishment" candidates such as Gov. Charlie Crist in Florida, Sen. Robert F. Bennett in Utah and Mrs. Lowden all pushed aside by more conservative rivals. ” Without the Tea Party then, Crist.  'Nuff said.

Jimmy Carter's executive order making assassination of a foreign leader a crime was of course self serving, meant to save his own sorry ass from the retribution hit.  I don't care.  Putin, Chavez and Ahmadinejad need killing.

SMART USB Data Transfer

Techno Boners

Last week I asked "what is this and why did I buy it? " about the ZyXEL.  I found out it was an early device to set up a wireless connection,  so I plugged it in last night and it worked by connecting my old PC to the internet, for whatever that was worth.  I have never-ever been successful in setting up a working home network, and this attempt was no exception  But wait! I had another Woot purchase in my WTF? box.  A Smart USB cable transfer device I purchased  for $14.95 delivered.  What the hell, I just plugged it in; intuitively linking the two computers.  It instantly showed up as a CD Drive (L:) Easy Suite. I clicked it.   HFS!  This is something everybody who will one day migrate to a new computer, and that means everybody, should have.  It gives me access to every file on the old computer, so instead of going back and copying a file to a flash drive and then going to the new computer for installation, it's all there.  This will be no revelation to the many computer smart denizens reading this, but for the average Joe, this is wonderful morning boner!

David "Brock" Frum

Epistemic Closure Watch

By way of Andy "don't call me Andy" Sullivan I learned of this John Hawkins/David Frum kerfuffle.  “ Hawkins runs the conservative blogads hive. When FrumForum applied for entry, Hawkins refused. He gives an explanation here  of his reasons. [T]he mainstream media loves “conservatives” and “Republicans” who will trash whomever the Left hates most. So, if you’re willing to talk about how Sarah Palin is a hick, Glenn Beck is a crank, Rush Limbaugh is bad for the country, and the Tea Party is bad for  democracy, the mainstream media will reward you  –  and because conservatives pride themselves on being open minded, they’ll all too often give you a pass for your atrocious behavior — especially since the MSM doesn’t insist you play their game all the time. As long as you’re willing to say what they want about the people they hate the most, they’ll reward you with a cover story at Newsweek and then in your off time, you can churn out a few articles to point gullible conservatives towards while you’re trying to guilt them into taking you seriously by crying   “epistemic closure!” ” Frum has a too cute by half response. I don't know what happened to David Frum.  He was tapped to serve in Dubya's White House as Special Assistant to the U.S. President for Economic Speechwriting.  I forget the details, but it seems to me his wife let slip some indiscretion that embarrassed Bush, and Frum went into the dog house.  In any event it seems David came down with a case of  David Brock disease.  Going here and simply scrolling  through the headlines pretty much makes Hawkin's case.  I rule in favor of the defendant.

Thor sent me this video.  I suspect Hewlett Packard will be using this for the next Super Bowl commercial.  Over the years, I've enjoyed great experience with HP computer support, but quit buying their printers because of heavy handed control over when you have to change ink.  The printer division is an entity unto itself.
