The Swedish King off to rape and pillage England My son Greeper did this Me&23 DNA mapping thing, and the results were fascinating for him, and a mystery of sorts for me.  According to his map, I am 100% Eastern European to include Finland etc., but almost totally of Swedish ancestry. Which means that somewhere along the line my maternal Granny's family (she emigrated from England) were influenced, ahem,  by Norsemen raiders, most likely.  There's all sort of genetic info to be gleaned from the results, like what diseases you are a carrier of, IQ stock, etc.  In some cases identical twins separated at birth, and who underwnet the testing, were discovered. Same with cousins, etc.  Not real sure about what all's involved, but it sure is interesting.

“   "The President will today propose a budget for 2012 in which the U.S. government would take in $2.627 trillion and spend $3.729 trillion," reports ABC's Jake Tapper. "At no point in the president's 10-year projection would the U.S. government spend less than it's taking in." Things the proposal does not include: Serious cuts to entitlement spending or any of the other bitter pills suggested by Obama's not-cheap deficit reduction commission. According to budget spiritualist Jacob Lew, Obama's proposed budget counters the argument--made by absolutely no one--that "we can do this painlessly." ” Via Daily Caller

'Project Gunwalker'

A journalist's guide to 'Project Gunwalker'

FLASHBACK “   The story of the Waco tragedy actually begins on January 10, 1993 when Sixty Minutes aired a story titled "Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Harassment," exposing sexual harrasment within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). When combined with a congressional funding battle, and the BATF's notification to news agencies to expect a big story out of Waco, it seems that the initial raid on the Mt. Carmel complex was a BATF publicity stunt. [Waco] ”

“ The following is a summary and time line of articles appearing on the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog and Gun Rights Examiner, reflecting original reporting on the developing "Project Gunwalker" story by Mike Vanderboegh and myself. That's the purposely ironic name I assigned it, a parody of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive's "Project Gunrunner," and it refers to allegations by whistleblowing ATF insiders that:     * ATF management was allowing potentially hundreds of semiautomatic firearms to be walked across the Mexican border in order to pad statistics used to further budget and power objectives.     * Mexican authorities were kept in the dark, and protests that they should be informed were overridden, first by the Phoenix ATF office, and ultimately by higher-ups in Washington, DC.     * A gun used in this operation was involved in a December 2010 incident in which a Border Patrol agent was killed. ” The cart before the horse perhaps, but what brought this to my attention was a NRA press release, "NRA issues statement on Grassley ATF inquiry." “ Senator Grassley has demonstrated that he is determined to uncover the truth regarding BATFE's investigative tactics, even as BATFE seems intent on shutting down his investigation. ” Grassley is someone I generally consider useless, but here at least he appears to be doing a journeyman's job of it.  ATF keeps appending letters to its acronym (When was E get added, and was it really necessary?). Anyway,since the agency is now at least as dangerous to the common weal as them what it investigates, perhaps we need a BATFEBATFE to protect us from them.

Boehner, Just Another GOP Nancy

Boehner credits Obama for handling of Egypt crisis Way too many Nancys Here Boss

“ House Speaker John Boehner says on NBC's 'Meet the Press' that he thinks the president responded to the 'very difficult situation' in Egypt about as well as possible. Potential GOP presidential candidates believe otherwise. ” Criticism will be wide-spread and quick to come.  When Boner attempts to change his tune, the picture of same-old, same-old will be complete.

'A weapon of mass destruction was found in the U.S.': Shock confession of Customs officer

When it inevitably happens, fingers will be pointed everywhere.  Personally, I'll be keeping track of asshats like John Amato when he discovers, inevitably, that his dead loved ones are dead because the detainee - in our custody - accepted getting no dessert rather than squealing out the plan.

Kasich acting, not talking, like Reagan

WWRD? Kasich: You strike, you get punished 'Zactly!

“   A day after hundreds of public employees jammed the Statehouse to protest a bill they believe will kill their unions, Gov. John Kasich said he is working on an even-tougher version, one that would punish workers who go on strike. If the Republican-controlled legislature doesn't fashion a collective-bargaining reform bill to his liking, Kasich said yesterday, then he will include language in the coming state budget to enact the changes he wants.  We Coped  Good If you Google for details on the firing of PATCO strikers by Reagan in 1981, you will find, as I did, that most of the accounts are written by the likes of NPR, The Socialist Party, etc.  "The Real Story (Reagan was a lying mfcs);" "The best thing to happen to us (labor)!".  It's why they lose.  Props to Kasich, so far.

Is Giffords a shoo-in for Kyl’s seat?   Cites losing half her brain makes her uniquely qualified for the U.S. Senate; McCain's equal.

I'm mind-boggled to the grody max that the WaTimes says, yes, she's a shoo-in. But upon reflection, this is a state what elected Janet Napolitano governor - twice!  And just re-elected John McCain!!  Arizona is not close to being Texas, let alone Oklahoma on the "Live Free or Die" chart.  More like Michigan, or North Carolina, but better than Maryland.

Diane Sawyer, et.al.

Accepting the Award for the Democrat Media Complex ...

“ I must really be asleep at the wheel these days. I listened to ABC's Diane Sawyer gush about democracy coming to Egypt yesterday evening. Did they hold an election while I wasn't paying attention? Because what I saw was mob rule, not an election. And no matter how much journalists like Sawyer wish it to be so, mob rule is not democracy. Her sudden deep and abiding love for democray in Egypt falls squarely in the "careful what you wish for" rubrick. I s'pect were mob rule in the USA to win the day, folks like Sawyer would prolly be the guests of honor at numerous necktie parties. [badanov]
