Issa to refer Holder ...

Issa takes step toward holding Holder in contempt of Congress

“ On Tuesday Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took a major step toward holding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his failure to provide subpoenaed documents and other information about Operation Fast and Furious. [...] Deputy Attorney General James Cole begged Congress to extend the Feb. 9 deadline. [...] Issa: "We cannot wait any longer for the Department’s cooperation,” [...]Issa added that whoever Holder designates as the go-to DOJ official for delivering subpoenaed documents “should also serve as the conduit for dealing with the contempt proceedings, should the Department continue to ignore the Committee’s subpoena. [full] Oh, delicious Déjà vu “ A Federal district judge said today that Ira C. Magaziner, the chief architect of President Clinton's health plan, had given misleading testimony to the court, and he asked Federal prosecutors to determine whether the statements amounted to perjury or criminal contempt of court. He referred the case to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Eric H. Holder, " [December 22, 1994] ” With Democrats holding control of the House in 1994, Holder was able to ignore Judge Lamberth's referral, and he did.  It appears Issa is not going to let it happen again, and this time he's the target. ”

Perception

People are always asking me in E-mails "Rodge, you always see what's really going.  How can I achieve that level  of perceptiveness? Is it pure talent, or something I can learn?"

Keep an open mind, and with lots of practice,  Voila!

Chicago Most Corrupt

Chicago Called Most Corrupt City In Nation

In the late 70's a friend with access cited a similar FBI report that pegged Prince George's County, MD as more corrupt than even Cook County (Chicago).  So, PG County, you'll have to step it up, if that's possible (shudder).

Ann Barnhardt's QOTD

Ann Barnhardt's QOTD

Q: Ann, What do you think of the Marines who peed on the dead Taliban? A: I have little sympathy for men who live their lives wiping their anuses with their bare hands after bowel movements, and who view as the pinnacle of human pleasure inserting their genitals and depositing their semen into the feces-laden rectums of boys and other men, who suddenly get squeamish about dead bodies being sprinkled with a bit of urine - which is sterile by the way. Those dead Taliban were probably the cleanest they had ever been in their adult lives after being showered with the righteous tinkles of those Marines. Ooh-rah. That is all. Carry on. It appears that Ann Barnhardt is the new "Saint Ann." Ahem.   El Jefe

Salted Cod?

Culture The "Camel Cod Piece"?

The Camel COD? Is the one in the middle "stuffing?" I must admit that, keen cultural observer that I am, this is a first for me.  My guesses— A none too subtle attempt for men to compete as women? A statement by radical feminists? An admission that women have cod envy? An attempt to modestly hide thier camel toe? They've all crapped their pants?

Rampant Racism? Or manufactured hate?

Did the Little Green Dirt Ball Get It Right?

“ I can't say I despise Charles Johnson  because he's dead to me since beginning his David Brock impersonation.  However, some lefty-blog stink led me to this— “ Fox News Commenters Respond to Whitney Houston’s Death With Deluge of Hatred and Racism I don’t even know what to say about this any more. There’s a real sickness running rampant in the right wing; the Fox News comment thread on Whitney Houston’s death is yet another disgusting deluge of outright racism: Singer Whitney Houston Dies at 48 | Fox News. There are almost 5000 comments posted in the thread — these are from the first few pages. Notice that the racist bastards deliberately misspell their slurs or insert random spaces, so they aren’t caught by word filters. And many of the worst comments have numerous “likes” from other commenters. A tragedy is when someones passes away from a terminal disease or something else that no one saw coming.Whitney is just an inferior lo w life ni gg er that needed to go,no tragedy,no loss. […] Any death is a tragedy you heartless bástard. […] not nignogs their death is a plus […] ” FOX NEWS ought to be moderating comments better, and he's right about the "racist bastards."   There is little question that Obama's Helter-Skelter campaign to create a racial schism  has borne fruit.  I have a few (2 or 3) times deleted  a comment here that crossed the line, but nothing as blatant as we see here.  Something doesn't pass the smell test though.   The raw hatefulness exhibited in the Whitney Houston comments fit perfectly the Left's characterization of FOX NEWS viewers, but not at all what we actually see amongst us.  It is possible of course that some white supremacist groups tapped in, but it's equally more likely that they were manufactured by these people.  Doesn't it fit perfectly that campaign  to destroy the single news voice that dares report ALL the news?   There was, you'll remember, a spate of   "Leftists vandalize Democrat HQ to smear Obamacare foes " stories awhile back.  It's what they do, and are doing still I'll argue.  As an aside, do you think the Little Green Dirt Ball would expose the fraud of the Killian documents today? I do not.   No more than David Brock would expose Anita Hill today.      ”

You;ll eat what we tell you kid ...

The Nanny State - one regulation away from total bliss                        “unhealthy” lunch replaced with cafeteria nuggets

“ A preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value ... The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her classroom when a state employee who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed lunch — which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips — “did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines.” The student’s mother was charged $1.25 for the cafeteria tray, from which her daughter ate three chicken nuggets. Prediction - we're not far from Nanny States finding it necessary to arm Child Protective Services employees—  Hell, all gummint employees, for  protection against the  unruly, unappreciative, and recalcitrant  citizenry. ”

Media Matters Terrorists

Media Matters memo called for hiring private investigators ‘to look into the personal lives’ of Fox employees

“ As an aside A little after 1 p.m. on Sept. 29, 2009, Karl Frisch emailed a memo to his bosses, Media Matters for America founder David Brock and president Eric Burns. In the first few lines, Frisch explained why Media Matters should launch a “Fox Fund” whose mission would be to attack the Fox News Channel. “Simply put,” Frisch wrote, “the progressive movement is in need of an enemy. George W. Bush is gone. We really don’t have John McCain to kick around any more. Filling the lack of leadership on the right, Fox News has emerged as the central enemy and antagonist of the Obama administration, our Congressional majorities and the progressive movement as a whole.”   [Full]   I suppose it's too much to expect this congress to hold hearings on this most unseemly effort by the administration to silence critics through intimidation and terror.  Just the opposite is being proposed as a matter of fact. “ So far more than 200,000 people in the U.S. have called on Congress to launch an investigation into whether Murdoch and his company were engaged in similar illegal activities in the U.S.  You can take action here. On this page we have collected resources about Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. and their impact on U.S. media policy. [Control The News.com] ” ”

FHA Bankrupt

WHAT GUMMINT DOES

“ Thank You Barney, et al Why does FHA Mortgage Insurance exist? Unlike conventional loans that adhere to strict underwriting guidelines, FHA-insured loans require very little cash investment to close a loan. There is more flexibility in calculating household income and payment ratios. The cost of the mortgage insurance is passed along to the homeowner and typically is included in the monthly payment. In most cases, the insurance cost to the homeowner will drop off after five years or when the remaining balance on the loan is 78 percent of the value of the property -whichever is longer. How is FHA funded? FHA is the only government agency that operates entirely from its self-generated income and costs the taxpayers nothing. The proceeds from the mortgage insurance paid by the homeowners are captured in an account that is used to operate the program entirely. FHA provides a huge economic stimulation to the country in the form of home and community development, which trickles down to local communities in the form of jobs, building suppliers, tax bases, schools, and other forms of revenue. [FHA] In the wayback, when the newly married us were buying our first home,  my dad jokingly offered that the FHA insurance fee was something of a gummint money making scam.  The default rate on FHA loans (going back to 1933) was so low that administration fees alone  cost more than any payout.  Of course that was long before  Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, and  Chris Dodd  became  the nation's banking engineers. Fast forward. “ For the first time in its 78-year history, the 100 percent taxpayer-backed Federal Housing Administration is projected to run out of its remaining $4.7 billion financial reserves and trigger an infusion of funds from the Treasury. ”   ”
