The Mysterious Mr. Bubbles

Blowing Bubbles

A time for swordmen

A job for super heroes, alas.

May2, 2011 Last week was pretty damned exciting, wot.  The Donald either —  1) Forced Obama to produce a birth certificate; or 2) gave Obama his stage direction to unveil a very expensive piece of art. I'm letting all this to percolate for awhile, but in the meantime some very smart men gave us birthers a proper spanking.  There was John Bolton's " the notion that it’s an issue worth talking about [is] not entirely rational.”  Then, Thomas Sowell bespaked: “ The birth-certificate issue does more political damage to Obama’s critics than to the president himself, because it enables the media to paint those critics as kooks. ” Ouch.  Is Dr. Sowell saying that fear of being labeled by the left-media is reason to abjure?  Interesting.  I'm going to let this shake out.  If I have a fault *snort*  it's one of them is that I won't let something go if it's important to me.  You will see me then as either being this guy, or  this guy .  We'll see. But for now, this is what keeps me interested —   (pretend this a movie script outline) Obama spent in the neighborhood of  $2,800,000 (supposedly his own money, heh) fighting against having to produce the birth certificate. At least three versions of the (meaningless) Certification of Live Birth were released, each fixing obvious frauds on the previous release.  Duh. The new Democrat Governor of Hawaii, upon taking office, promised he would produce the birth certificate, only later to admit nobody could find one. A former Hawaiian Senior Elections Clerk signed an affidavit that he was told there was no Obama certificate on file in Hawaii. Chiyome Fukino (a known Obama agent, caught in numerous lies) stated that the certification of birth that Obama released is the only document the state releases. Several states were considering legislation requiring future  presidential candidate to produce a valid birth certificate before being placed on the ballot.  This would  have effectively killed Obama's reelection. The number one selling book on Amazon —  "Where's the Birth Certificate" Donald Trump used the national stage to demand that Obama release  a birth certificate. Voila!  Well sumbitch, there it is. With "document experts" waiting in the wings to explain any anomalies, of which there were plenty. Right. If you don't feel like throwing popcorn boxes at the screen, well God bless your for your ... something. Faith in government, I guess. Here's a pretty damned good summation of why it took so long to get even this far.   Well, first of all you gotta go out and find the paper stock from 1961 which isn't easy in a moist climate like Hawaii. Make it a ream since you're going to have to replace a lot of certificates with numbers leading up to and away from this one. At least 100 in each direction. (Might want to slowly and carefully assassinate some of those contemporary births with natural causes -- see the How-To Manuals from the Kennedy era.) Then you gotta find and refurbish a typewriter from the era because you don't want those Free Republic weirdos catching you out with the font issue. Then you've got to make sure you've got some vintage ribbons from the same era. Don't want ink from the 21st century on a document from the 20th, do we now. Ribbons are a harder score so you'd best hang out on ebay until these float up or go to that government warehouse where they keep the Ark of the Covenant. Whichever is quicker.) Then you gotta get the mother/father signatures down (nothing in a Bic Gel Ink, thank you), and make sure the "attending" is either dead or permanently bribed with himself and his family under live-in smothering threat from natural born Samoans. All in all it takes awhile to get this done, but you have to remember the secret slogan of the Obama Administration: "Rome wasn't burned in a day."  — Vanderleun Gerard Vanderleun is prezactly right. But, all that work is only necessary if the "original" certificate is to be released for inspection.  It was not.  Instead we got a "scanned" copy printed on safety paper. All that's required then, is a registration number consistent with others born in August, 1963, and a typeface consistent with the period/   If you can find a child born on August fourth, who died the next day, say a  Virginia Sunaharaa, there's one opportunity.  May 21, 2011 blah blah blah ....  Since I started taking notes back on May 2, not a day has gone by without some new evidence of fraud surfacing about the legitimacy of the new certificate; and nary a one is discussed anymore.  Without blue dress DNA, Obama is home free. The machinery to invoke the Soviet Union's practice of declaring dissenters insane is in place.  This job then is one for super heroes.  Men with the nads to look the Joker in the face, and flay him bare with blunt edged swords.  Splatt

Electric VW

Okay, stop it.  I'm up. What was that? Watch as an electric powered VW Beetle does naught-to-60 in 9.51 seconds. ... Oh, wait —  I meant to say as it does a quarter-mile straight in 9.51 seconds.  And the Beetle is  1.7 seconds faster after he changed the batteries!

A commenter (maybe me? no.  I looked. I've never been there) wrote "call me when a battery-powered car wins the le man 24hr."  There's a certain resistance to electric powered cars because of the "green" lobby's influence.  Starting with me, as one, I hate their guts.  I hate that they've been allowed to hijack alternate fuel R&D under the utterly preposterous, and provenly contrived claims that the earth's very existence lies in the balance.  That very same smug and condescending blood clot who are, say,  Nancy Pelosi's comstitueney.  But this!  This type of demonstration sets a man's blood racing. Speed! It's competition. This is where I'm at.  If I had access to a reliable electric car, that cost no more to purchase and operate than a gas burner, I'd buy it.   And that day is coming. In the meanwhile then, there is no reason not to make 100% use of  our oil resources.  Provide the cheap energy that jump-starts our economy, and cut OPEC out of America's business plan.  First we have to  rid ourselves of these Democrats. Butyou knew that. cuzzin ricky

Warrants Let Agents Enter Homes Without Owner Knowing ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A special type of government search warrant that allows authorities to search homes without informing the owner for months is becoming more common, Target 7 has learned. /snip The number of delayed-notice search warrants spiked nationally from nearly 700 in fiscal year 2007 to close to 2,000 in 2009. Fed. judge’s ruling on concealed carry faces appeal(CA) This morning’s Seattle Times – the newspaper that significantly overlooked one of the biggest local stories of 2010, that being the Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation’s landmark Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago – reports that a federal judge in California has ruled there is no constitutional right to carry a concealed handgun in public. Plaintiffs in the case will appeal that ruling to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

Jeff Bezos Calls Sales Tax Requirements On Amazon Unconstitutional Amazon.com chief Jeff Bezos says the online retailer won't collect tax from most of its 90 million customers until Congress clearly mandates it. Although a growing number of states are demanding that Amazon collect and remit tax on sales within their borders, such demands are 'interference in interstate commerce' and prohibited by the Constitution, Bezos said." Democrats Recruit Protesters for GOP Town Halls The House Democrat's campaign wing is trolling for Medicare protesters at town halls this week in 20 Republican-held congressional districts,  They still think that the anti-Obamacare groundswell that plagued Democrats in 2009 was paid for by Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and Dick Cheney.

What can I say?  Kennedy's perceived weakness led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Obama's incompetence , this.     Hugo Chavez is a megalomaniac. Ahmadinejad  openly believes a world conflagration will signal the return of "Mahdi."  Has anyone seen Obama and Mahdi in the same room together?  I'm just saying.

Carlos Santana

What are they thinking?

Via E-Mail  Like we really care about Carlos Santana's perspective. Carlos has a restaurant in Walnut Creek, CA (Maria Maria) that I have visited a couple of times.... even though I had to struggle past my mental image of him sporting a Che tee shirt. This, of course, brings an end to even a brief consideration of me ever going there again. Renowned rock star Carlos Santana blasted Georgia and Arizona after being honored at baseball's annual Civil Rights Game between the Phillies and Braves. http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/news/Sports_Minute/25215807 Screw Carlos............ cuzzin ricky TO: ricky The Che deal would be enough for me.

I'm always astounded when Hollywooders indulge themselves with attacks on Americans, when their livelihood is the  box office.

Caption contest Newt And Nancy need a clever campaign slogan

“   Alas, the supposedly “brilliant”, Newt “Our country must take action to address climate change” Gingrich, ever in search of more attention, has thrown his overly-large hat into the Republican primary ring. I want him out. ASAP. To that end, I want to remind everyone (and their mother) how willingly this tool cooperated with Satan’s concubine herself to push the falsehood that is man-made global warming; and worse, that we need to DO something about it. (Can you tell I’m still hacked-off about it?) American Elephants I've seen several "GOP candidates create big yawn" stories recently. Here's what I don't get.  Not since 1980 was I so fired up over a candidate than I was with Sarah Palin.  Which is why both the DNC and the GOP went out of their way to tar her.  What more can one ask of a candidate?  She took on the GOP in 2010 and her candidates won.  So there's that.  She's not a mealy mouth; she walks the conservative walk, and will not let Obama get away with the lies he must tell if he wants to be elected.  JFC. marc miller

Knock-Knock

Court: No right to resist illegal cop entry into home WHAT THE FF?

“ INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer's entry.  ”

Thursday, Rush had an extended conversation with an ardent Mitch Daniels supporter.  Rush asked, why, if he's so durned conservative, doesn't he talk like it?  Caller explained that Daniels must be judged, not on what he says, but on what he does.  Justice Steven David was appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court by guess who? And screw "Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215."  “   The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. In Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. ” WTFF?  "This is the second major Indiana Supreme Court ruling this week, involving police entry into a home. On Tuesday, the court said police serving a warrant may enter a home without knocking if officers decide circumstances justify it. Prior to that ruling, police serving a warrant would have to obtain a judge's permission to enter without knocking." Taken in the sum and context of what's been happening to us under Obamunism, it ought be manifestly clear that, before long, lots of people will feel damned sorry (but won't dare express it) that they didn't take to the hills, in guerrilla fashion (in the good way, and as a manner of speaking.  Ahem). Finally,  I'll  add these seemingly unrelated story lines,  for your education and continued edification — CHICAGOLAND: Daley can keep $1M in campaign cash, thanks to Obama-sponsored bill...

Obama and the Seven Dorks

Tom Mann sent this, titled "The Best Tea Party Ever!"  It is pretty good, but outdated.  Two of the Seven Dorks were no longer in the administration, so I replaced 'em.  Tom takes a daily bike-ride, rain or shine, around DC & environs.  If there's a demonstration, or a DO,  Tom's there.  For  several years now he 's sent me his daily output, until I no longer know what to do with them.   Which brings up a suggestion.  If you're a big time blogger connected with one of them fancy blog syndicates, and would like your own exclusive news photos of the nation's capitol, Tom is your man.  (answer in comments, and I'll forward.)

Curiosity

Curious Kids

“   -- Reader's Digest Our six-year-old daughter, Terra, has a need to ask questions … lots of questions. Finally, one day, my wife had had it. "Have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?" my wife asked. "No," replied Terra. "Well, there was a cat, and he was very inquisitive. And one day, he looked into a big hole, fell in, and died!" Terra was intrigued: "What was in the hole?"
