Please. Pul-eeze, don't hurt John Kusak

Iranian Media Says French First Lady Deserves Death John Kusak Says Armey, Newt  -and all the GOP Deserves Death

I feel sorta bad here. Except for two words ("French" and "Armey)" I was feeling,  well, you know.  Oh stop!  It was involuntary. Anyway, after what Hollywood did to Mel Gibson for his, mild in comparison, "ravings,"  I guess Joan Kusak's brother won't be able to buy a hello from movieland's glitterati.  They're a fiercely righteous bunch, those entertainment folks; all "duty, honor and country first" sorts, and don't tolerate behavior like this. What I worry about is someone from the left assassinating Kusak, and trying to make it look like conservatives did it.  You know, like they did burning their own offices and such.  That sure would be a nasty trick (that would prolly succeed and allow the Democrats to pick up seats in the election), so I hope they don't "do" him. </disgust>

It hurts when I laugh. Then don't.

It's not his fault Boy who zapped his nipples during shop class sues

“K yle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class. On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord. ”

"Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage."  That may be hard to prove.  I do note that the shop teacher resigned, which opens the possibility that he assigned the nipple zapping, but I see that as doubtful. Either way, I'll let this incident stand as my answer to this bit of silliness. Top 10 Reasons to Lower the Voting Age to 16

Crocheting an Afghan here boss

The 72 Hour Afghan Expert Everything you've ever wanted to know about Afghans, by P.J. O'Rourke

“ As all good reporters do, I prepared for my assignment with extensive research. I went to an Afghan restaurant in Prague. Getting a foretaste—as it were—of my subject, I asked the restaurant’s owner (an actual Afghan), “So what’s up with Afghanistan?” ”

As always, P.J. O'Rourke gets to the heart of things with a razor.  However, I have a good deal of trouble reading anything about Afghanistan, now that Obama has set our guys up in a shooting gallery by virtue of announcing a withdrawal date.  48 HOURS: 21 American soldiers killed in Afghanistan... To be honest, I got sidetracked ¾ of the way through by a desire to photo-chop the Weekly Standard cover.  That indulgence is all that stands between me and insanity I think.  God damn Obama to Hell..

Traffic Cams Ticketed!

Today's I'll Fix That For You Receive a traffic cam ticket in the mail?

“ A Supreme Court  ruling last year requiring that scientists be made available to testify in court cases about lab evidence they prepare may have the added effect of curtailing the use of automated traffic-enforcement cameras to assess criminal penalties. ”

The crux of this story is that various courts have taken a cue from that SCOTUS lab evidence ruling,  and applied it to traffic and speed cams.  “ Judge Wilson said declarations submitted to the court  by the private enforcement company to support the red-light infractions "contain testimonial hearsay," without which the officer cannot identify the photographs as taken by the company, cannot attest they pertain to any actual traffic violation and cannot say with certainty the camera equipment was in working order at the time of the violation. ” If states were really interested in protecting, not taxing the public, speed cams like this would be in use. The effect of these rulings is that methods for obtaining, transmitting and storing information about infractions are "not admissible in the absence of a live witness with personal knowledge of the procedures."  Which translates into requiring speed cam suppliers to send technicians to testify at ticket hearings.  There are not enough technicians, and they're too far away to travel to every court hearing anyway.  Cases are being thrown-out wholesale.  This of course will have the same effect on tax hungry city officials as failing to pay Louie the loan-shark his vigorish.  Stay tuned. ASIDE: Mo Sup makes regular trips to Tidewater,VA to see family.  During a recent trip she noticed that the yellow light timing at stop lights in Gloucester had gone from something reasonable,  to about 1 second. The thought occurred to her that this is precisely what Baltimore City did when when traffic cams were installed.  She skoonched  forward at a stop light, and looked up.  Sure enough,  perched high atop a pole - the camera. My suggestion that she use her 9mm to shoot the sumbitch fell on deaf ears however. She's such a pussy sometimes.

Felony Chutzpah

The "C" Word (chutzpah)

T his year's debate over extending President George W. Bush's tax cuts has turned into a brawl over which party is doing more for small businesses, with assertions that the health of the economy and thousands of future jobs are at stake. ” Obama claims that not that many small businesses will see taxes rise if the Bush tax cuts expire.  Which would necessarily mean that those tax cuts were negligible to begin with?   Besides, says Obama, his  first order of business when congress returns from its summer recess will be to pass a bill aimed at "enticing" banks to loosen up small business loan requirements.  A plan formulated by Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Maxine Waters no doubt.  Even the WaTimes reporter gets caught up in sub plots involving dueling "think tank" minutiae here.  Two indisputable facts remain, however.  Killing the Bush tax cuts results in a huge tax increase for somebody.  Obama the Marxist's claim that he is a champion of business growth is felony chutzpah.

Weasel Clark

General Clark

This is pretty neat.  But first, I always figured that Wesley Clark's boyhood hero was Gen. George B. McClellan.  Clark certainly emulated Mac.  Both  West Point "ring-knockers" Both  removed from command by the president who appointed them.  Both back-stabbing opportunists.  Both attacked a president during wartime. Both ran for president as Democrats, on a surrender monkey platform Both Losers McClellan, at least, was always insubordinate towards Lincoln.  Clark, however, was on record extolling the capabilities and virtue of the very man he was now attacking (probably influencing James Webb in the bargain).  Gen. Clark may be best known for the Battle of Waco.  His alliance with Janet Reno, and Texas Gov.Ann Richardson led to a stunning victory against the insurgent Branch Davidians; racking up a stunning  74-0 kill ratio!  But, I digress again. Clark is in Illinois today, stumping for Democrat Senate Alexi Giannoulias,  who's running against Mark Kirk. In The Uniforms They Wear: Kirk and Giannoulias, Daniel Halper takes an interesting look at  the three man, and the battle dress they wore at a point in history.

Muslim Bullying At Disneyland

“ A Mahometan employee is refusing to wear a hat and bonnet that Disney provided in place of a head scarf, which she wants to leave on at work for religious reasons. Imane Boudlal, a restaurant hostess at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, last week in a press conference accused Disney of religious discrimination for refusing to let her wear a hijab, a head scarf, in public view. Boudlal, and her extremist friends at CAIR, are busily spinning the truth about her employment with Disney to try to bully the company into accommodating sharia. [Plese, do read on] ” What's so hard?  Fire her ass.  If she sues; counter sue. Bring this Moslem pimple to a head and pop it!

Beware Mosqued Men

Feds probe fire at Tenn. mosque construction site

A conundrum. The Golden Rule, sliced and diced any which way you like, is at the heart of civilized society, and certainly Christianity.  But not Islam.  I can love my Islamic neighbor (don't be a weisenheimer), but hate his endemically Islamic hatred for me.  If he doesn't hate my Christianity, then he doesn't subscribe to the Koran's teachings, and therefore isn't a Mahometan, and doesn't need a mosque.  Am I right? Allowing mosques to be raised here is the equivalent of allowing Hitler to build Schutzstaffel training camps throughout the 1942 United States; it's insane.  But, since bombing and burning them is a lawless act, I sure do hope the feds can put a stop to it.  Of course, there is  Justice Robert H. Jackson's consideration, "The Constitution is not a suicide pact."  The answer then is simple. Don't allow new mosques to be built, and tear down the existing.  See how simple that was?

American intelligence experts believe the number to be closer to 7 than 70 but admit the threat is very real. (SOURCE) ” I say go for it.(Do you happen to have Barbara Mikulski's address?)

S**T House Dominoes

S**T House Dominoes Greens Fall Victim to Hot Air

“A year ago, these groups seemed to be at the peak of their influence, needing only the Senate's approval for a landmark climate-change bill. But they lost that fight, done in by the sluggish economy and opposition from business and fossil-fuel interests. ” A nurturing WaPost examined reasons for the cataclysmic failure of AGW apostles to get "cap and trade" passed into law.  There's "The oil industry has tremendous reach and control in the United States Senate."  There's the poor economy. There's " ... green groups don't have enough of Washington's two currencies of power: money and angry voters."  But - not one of the 1248 words in this green hair shirt is  fraud, or climate-gate.  Or Gore.  How did they manage that?

Obama the actor

Is Obama a Christian? Or is he Barbra Streisand?

“M ore significantly, he said in his Cairo speech to the Muslim world that Islam is a revealed religion. I'm amazed this didn't get more attention because it is extremely anomalous for a believing Christian to refer to Islam as a revealed religion. The word "revealed" had to have been carefully chosen and was absolutely unnecessary to convey his overtures to the Muslim world. One needn't affirm another person's religion to extend him a hand of friendship and peace. Words have meaning, and if Obama believes Islam was revealed ... [David Limbaugh] ” Let's see.  Mosque imam Feisal Abdul RaufImam Rauf says chapter six of  his book was the nexus of  Obama’s Cairo speech.  It's a virtual certainty that Bill Ayers wrote his autobiography.  He can't speak two paragraphs without his teleprompter.  Good god!  This guy is actually actress Barbra Streisand!
