Sherrod and some woman commie mofo


Battlelines drawn on Fed chair decision


Sherrod Brown of Ohio, one of the Senate’s most outspoken liberals and a longtime critic of financial and trade liberalisation, circulated a letter among fellow Democratic senators this week backing Ms Yellen. Although it does not mention him by name, the letter, addressed to Mr Obama, was interpreted as an anti-Summers missive.

The choice of Mr Bernanke’s successor will be one of the most consequential of Barack Obama’s second term, with the potential to influence economic policy making for years to come. [Senate Democrats push Janet Yellen for Fed chair]

Sherrod Brown, still a little shit

When Sherrod Brown turned 7 years-old,  he was given an envelope and a package to open.  The envelope, from his grandparents, contained a $10 bill. Sherrod jumped in glee. "Mommy, will you take  me to buy the Che Guevara  tee-shirt,"  he implored?  His parents beamed and instructed Sherrod to open their gift.  It was a Che Guevara t-shirt.   "Oh mommy and daddy;" he cried," this is the best birthday ever!"

I know these people, so I'm pretty sure that happened.  Count on this at any rate.  If the, perhaps, senate's biggest leftist is drumming up support for Janet Yellen with the poseur, we know she must be an incompetent oaf when dealing with free market economies.  We  also can predict that Obama will give her the keys.   

The Castle

   At The Cinema                           


The Castle (1997)






The blue collar Kerrigan home is filled with love as well as pride in their modest lifestyle, but their happiness is threatened when developers attempt the compulsory acquisition of their house to expand the neighbouring Melbourne Airport.

The Kerrigan house is built in a largely undeveloped housing tract, on a toxic landfill, beneath power lines, and directly adjacent to an airport runway. Despite all this, sweet-natured family patriarch Darryl (Michael Caton) believes that he lives in the lap of luxury. Blissfully unaware of his family's lack of style or sophistication, he busies himself by driving a tow truck, racing greyhounds, and constantly adding tacky renovations to the house. The rest of the Kerrigan clan shares and supports his enthusiasm in every way.

One day, a property valuer arrives to inspect the house. Though he has no wish to sell, Darryl points out all the faults of the house, believing that the valuer is there to appraise the house for council rates. A few weeks later, he receives a letter informing him of the compulsory acquisition of his house for the sum of A$70,000.

The Castle is an  up-beat movie, and a jewel. The film took five weeks from original inception to final cut. The movie was written in two weeks, shot in ten days and taken to rough cut in two weeks. The name Kerrigan was chosen for the family so that tow trucks for the film could be borrowed from an existing Melbourne tow truck company with that name.  Clap Clap Clap (I watched on NetFlix.  Some F-Word Language.


IRS Comeuppance





Nullification Rules





"...the hollow sound of a wooden gong ... ." John Harold


Res Ipsa Loquitor
But opponents of sweeping nullification measures paint them as misguided, often politically motivated, and likely unconstitutional attempts to zero out reasonable and well-intended federal initiatives.

The assessment from the wolves in wolves's clothing (Politico) about states moving to nullify Federal law also contain this blistering charge from the Jim Brady Gun Nuts.

They are outrageous,” said Brady Center legal director Jon Lowy. “It’s disturbing that there are [state] legislators who are so willing to violate the [U.S.] Constitution but also that they have so little concern for public safety.

Oh My.

Politico buttress their campaign by saying, "And that’s not just coming from the left. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, argues that nullification is not the answer to states’ concerns" 

Heritage may or may not have said that, but no matter; the left miss the point.  After years of inaction when it came to protecting Tenth Amendment rights,  people are scared, fed up, and angry enough to take action.  The smarmy left will be wise to recognize it as a shot across their bow.

California Here We come - So start hiding

When Democrats are in charge                                               



California lawmakers are pushing a controversial, first-in-the-nation plan that would require private-sector employers to remove 3 percent from every worker's paycheck. The money would go into a new state fund with a guarantee that all withheld funds plus investment gains will be available for distribution at retirement age.

That solves the insolvent Social Security (and Medi-Cal) problem; just start another one.

Detroit City



Meanwhile In Detriot: Men Are Impersonating Police And Robbing People At Gunpoint

Todays big fat post that my publisher demands of me to increse my gravitas, vitality, and increase my face time on Sunday shows to something higher than zero. A fools earnd, but I have to eat.

Res Ipsa Loquitor

If you needed another reason to avoid Detroit entirely, we have one for you: there are people impersonating police officers, pulling over civilians, pistol-whipping and robbing them.



Show me a city governed by Democrats for two decades or more, and I'll show you a city  in decay. Like Detroit.  Super Hero thoR~ sent me the link to that story, which in turn reminded me of this AmericanThinker article I earmarked a few days ago; Schadenfreude, Michigan, and Mitt's Big Fumble.  Mitt's entire campaign was a cluster-fluck.  Most of that was due to  media reporting his daily message through the prism of  charges, rumor and falsehood fed by the Obama campaign.  Still, this tale is representative of how GOP candidates handle those—by now expected— pressures; by junking their common sense to curry favor.   Will it ever change?  No.  Not as long as the legacy GOP control things.  If they are not in bed with the NY Times and the DNC. they act like they are.

After all, we both know that people in the Motor City, and the state of Michigan in fact, have brought this doom on themselves with their very liberal ballot habits of the past 60 years. Conservatives have warned them about it for at least several decades, to no avail. Hell, even a casual viewing of Gran Torino or the show Hardcore Pawn tells the story's inevitable end. This is a colossal "we told you so" moment -- and something Biblical about reaping and sowing comes to mind.

(Memo to Obama lo-fo's who just got offended: I know Detroit's problems started well before Obama was out of his choom days, but everything he has always stood for, and is still out pitching today on the campaign trail, has been the law in the city for decades. Thus, applied Obamanomics indeed.)
On the other hand, with the failure of the liberal mecca of Detroit imminent, and the reasons for it obvious to anyone not named Melissa Harris Perry -- or is it Melissa Perry Harris -- this financial holocaust was an amazing slam-dunk election issue for Mitt Romney and the Republicans in 2012. So what did Mitt and company do to take advantage of this real life and undeniable object lesson in applied Obamanomics and other leftist governing fantasies? Nothing

Actually, what the Republican campaign did was worse than nothing. Mitt and his campaign agreed with Obama publicly on his handling of the automaker bailouts. Romney knows better, with his deep background in business in general, and Detroit auto making specifically. Moreover, Paul Ryan, who also knows better, agreed with Joe Biden on national TV in the VP debate that poor ole Joe and Obama had "inherited" a mess from Bush and the Republicans. Ryan even let Joe "Bite Me" get away with taking credit for saving Detroit! Check the videotape in case you've forgotten.

Yes, in typical establishment fashion, the official GOP campaign shied away from the big and confrontational philosophical arguments about liberal versus conservative economic realities -- and instead ran to smooch up to the voters of Michigan in a careful and focus-group-tested way so as not to offend.


I do better with no words; only pictures. But, you know.

Sowell Man -1000 Words

Res Ipsa Loquitor

The fundamental problem of the political Left seems to be that the real world does not fit their preconceptions. Therefore they see the real world as what is wrong, and what needs to be changed, since apparently their preconceptions cannot be wrong.

A never-ending source of grievances for the Left is the fact that some groups are “over-represented” in desirable occupations, institutions, and income brackets, while other groups are “under-represented.”

The Lynching




"Zimmerman thought pretty reasonably in my opinion that if he didn't act he would indeed die that night which is why the police did not charge in and refused to charge it until the President and Attorney General of the United States brought  overwhelming political pressure in contradiction all the evidence for a prosecution ... ."
[Transcript from 6:50 mark]

Unlike, say me, Bill Whittle has the respect of many of the very lame-streamers who participated in this lynching.  They'll watch, or at least hear suggestions to.  Will any of them apologize for running with the President's media mob?  I doubt it, but all of them will know inside themselves that they're disgraced.  And everybody they know will too.  The President and the AG of course are little more than street punks, and have no conscience.  They're responsible for that too.

Mexico and Mayonnaise

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England . In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico , which was to be he next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York . This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico . But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York .. The ship hit an iceberg and sank. The people of Mexico , who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as - Sinko De Mayo.

Subtlety is not an Obamunist hallmark.  We know he's a thug.  Still, how do we wrap our minds around his preposterously brazen attacks against this nation?  I'm not talking about the great mass of witless "low information" types who get their news from the  MSNBCs, if at all.  I mean us.  What do we do with this avalanche of fact, revelation, and scorn that befall us daily?   There really is just one recent historical parallel that all of us are familiar with; Adolph Hitler and his National Socialists. 

For 70 years we have been bombarded with Hitler Channel documentaries, to the exclusion of, especially, Joe Stalin and pal Mao.  As Communists, that ilk found favor (and material support)with and from  the Hollywood elite who create our visual history.  So, the parallels between Schickelgruber and Soetoro are compelling, because we know the history of both..  Using them, we should be able to project and predict the next scene.  Here are clips from the epic so far.

Like Hitler, Barry burned all evidence of his ancestral beginnings.  We're past Kristallnacht. Will Herr Obama bring out Long-Knives now that SA
successor SEIU have turned on Obama over immigration? 

We've already had a Gleiwitz, and another attempt that backfired. The Obamunist surprise invasion of Egypt (Arab Spring) is already in the hands of the resistance.  There were the rumors of  Adolph's sexuality but we won't go there. 

Feel free to go on and on, there are plenty more parallels.  What I want to know is
when do the Allies cross the Rhine?  When does Obama repair to his bunker mattresses?

Or must partisans hang Mussolini's  corpse from a pole first?

COMEUPPANCES



Res Ipsa Loquitor

Florida State’s Attorney Angela Corey has been indicted by a citizens’ grand jury, convening in Ocala, Florida, over the alleged falsification of the arrest warrant and complaint that lead to George Zimmerman being charged with the second degree murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.

The indictment of Corey, which was handed down last week (see www.citizensgrandjury.com), charges Corey with intentionally withholding photographic evidence of the injuries to George Zimmerman’s head in the warrant she allegedly rushed to issue under oath, in an effort to boost her reelection prospects. At the outset of this case, black activists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who whipped up wrath against Zimmerman, demanded that he be charged with murder, after local police had thus far declined to arrest him pending investigation.

By all rights, Obama and his Administration should be cited as co-conspirators for finding a puppet (Corey) willing to turn this into a self-serving racial issue for Democrats.  It's not just the IRS that needs to be RICO-d

McCain-Obama Twins







"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a

good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what
 the hell." TRKOF&S


The relationship to watch most closely is the one between McCain and Schumer.

His record as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy was dismal. He piled up demerits left and right for breaking the rules, and barely passed his schoolwork, graduating 894th in a class of 899.

He barely passed flight school. And then he crashed two airplanes and damaged a third.

 How McCain got away with crashing two airplanes and smashing power lines in Spain was a mystery, although other pilots thought it had to do with his family connections.
A year ago, they weren’t even friends. They fought over matters big, like legislation, and small, like whether Long Island should be part of the United States. After McCain said Long Island was “regrettably” a part of our nation, Schumer demanded an apology. “I’m sorry there’s at least one of my colleagues that can’t take a joke,” McCain said on the Senate floor.

The two first got together late last year, on a successful effort to defuse a previous threat of the nuclear option with a proposal for filibuster reform. “McCain and I sort of bonded over stale Danish,” Schumer said. Still, they didn’t jell.

Sen. Lindsey Lohan Graham urged Schumer to make sure McCain joined the Gang of Eight working on immigration reform. [Full]


I've developed pretty good political instincts after watching the zoo for 80+ years, and all of them start barking whenever John McCain is the subject.  There are too many of McCain's Hanoi Hilton  roommates, and other Res Ipsa LoquitorVietnam vets who despise him.  This is a pretty tight and exclusive fraternity, and that sort of thing just does not happen without cause. 

When John Kerry was exposed (Swift-boated) as a lying, self-serving fraud by his Swift Boat comrades, McCain was quick to protest, and ally himself with Kerry in solidarity.  Complaints that he was a terrible pilot don't mean squat to me (I was too), but his actions over the years are those of either a madman, or a Manchurian Candidate, 

I've posted this video twice before.  In the intervening years since the 2008 election, the premise that Obama and McCain, and by inference the GOP and DNC, are two sides of the same coin have made more sense than not.   At best, McCain has done far more harm than good in Washington.  I don't like nor trust him.
