Big Props to the Las Vegas Review Journal

This newspaper traces its roots to before Las Vegas was Las Vegas.

We've seen cattle ranches give way to railroads. We chronicled the construction of Hoover Dam. We reported on the first day of legalized gambling. The first hospital. The first school. The first church. We survived the mob, Howard Hughes, the Great Depression, several recessions, two world wars, dozens of news competitors and any number of two-bit politicians who couldn't stand scrutiny, much less criticism.

We're still here doing what we do for the people of Las Vegas and Nevada. So, let me assure you, if we weathered all of that, we can damn sure outlast the bully threats of Sen. Harry Reid.

On Wednesday, before he addressed a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Reid joined the chamber's board members for a meet-'n'-greet and a photo. One of the last in line was the Review-Journal's director of advertising, Bob Brown, a hard-working Nevadan who toils every day on behalf of advertisers. He has nothing to do with news coverage or the opinion pages of the Review-Journal.

Yet, as Bob shook hands with our senior U.S. senator in what should have been nothing but a gracious business setting, Reid said: "I hope you go out of business."

If he thinks he can push the state's largest newspaper around by exacting some kind of economic punishment in retaliation for not seeing eye to eye with him on matters of politics, I can only imagine how he pressures businesses and individuals who don't have the wherewithal of the Review-Journal.

For the sake of all who live and work in Nevada, we can't let this bully behavior pass without calling out Sen. Reid. If he'll try it with the Review-Journal, you can bet that he's tried it with others. So today, we serve notice on Sen. Reid that this creepy tactic will not be tolerated.
We won't allow you to bully us. And if you try it with anyone else, count on going through us first.

That's a promise, not a threat. And it's a promise to our readers, not to you, Sen. Reid.

DENVER (AP) - A federal warning to beware of campers in national forests who eat tortillas, drink Tecate beer and play Spanish music because they could be armed marijuana growers is racial profiling, an advocate for Hispanic rights said Friday.

Michael Skinner, a law enforcement officer with the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado, said warning signs of possible drug trafficking include "tortilla packaging, beer cans, Spam, Tuna, Tecate beer cans," and campers who play Spanish music. He said the warning includes people speaking Spanish.

Enough With all This Ted Kennedy Glorification Already!

Check out This Article from GQ by the late Michael Kelly from 1990. Don't remember this one making a huge splash or Kennedy responding to it. Then again, in 1990 I was probably more excited about the impending release of Use Your Illusion I and II to buy GQ. God bless the internet!

There's lots of stuff here that got Clinton in all kinds of trouble. But that bloated, drunk, murdering man-child was never called to task. And now that he's dead he gets sainthood. Sickening.

From Kelly's article:
Kennedy regularly finds himself in unseemly scenes. One East Coast playboy recalls an incident a few years ago in a popular Palm Beach bar when “a definitely drunk” Kennedy shoved him against the bar and spilled his beer as the senator rushed out the door with a blonde so young, the man at first mistook Kennedy for an angry father come to take home an underage daughter. Dropping in for a 2 A.M. drink in the Manhattan bar American Trash in January 1989, Kennedy reportedly got into a shouting match with an obnoxious (and possibly intoxicated) off-duty bouncer, which climaxed with the senator’s throwing his drink in the other fellow’s face. Unkind Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr writes of Kennedy as “Fat Boy” and says it isn’t really considered summer in Cape Cod until the senator drives on the sidewalk for the first time. Reporters wonder at his behavior. “He really will do anything at all,” says veteran Washington gossip columnist Diana McLelan, “I think he’s mad.” Says Bill Thomas, writer of the “Heard on the Hill” column for Roll Call, the well-regarded newspaper of Capitol Hill, “He’s off the reservation…out of control…He has no compunctions whatsoever.” Thomas likens Kennedy and Dodd to “two guys in a fraternity who have been loosed upon the world.”

Oh and I hear he's getting a burial in Arlington. WTF?!!?! I bet in the coming years all these people from his past are finally going to have their say. As soon as the Dirty Liberal Media get tired of stroking his corpse.

Obama Administration Using the Silent Treatment to Interrogate Gitmo Detainees

I'm not bullshittin' you guys. They are actually using the silent treatment as a means of interrogation. But they only result to this harsh tactic if less harsh tactics like the cold shoulder fail.

Questions are being raised about the effectiveness -- and toughness -- of the Army Field Manual's interrogation guidelines, the standard ordered across the board by the Obama administration in response to allegations of CIA abuse of detainees.

"The Army Field Manual is very, very restrictive in what it can do," said Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra, the top Republican on the House intelligence committee. "For high-value detainees, it's a joke. ... In theory, it sounds great."

The guidelines are all psychological in nature. The methods include good cop-bad cop, the silent treatment, and a trick in which interrogators can pretend to be from another country.

Obama to Take Post-Vacation Vacation

I guess his handlers figured he hasn't quite overcome his ridiculous over-exposure. Absence makes the heart grow fonder bro. So how about you stay gone for another few years.

Deputy White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters traveling with the president that Obama will take a few more days off once he returns to Washington next week: Obama will be headed home by Sunday but plans to head up to the presidential retreat, Camp David, in the middle of the week.

"He's looking to get a break from his vacation," Burton deadpanned. "Obviously, some things have come up over the course of the week."

Ali Circling the Drain

Over the years we've all been shocked at Muhammad Ali's condition when he'd make the odd public appearance. A few times pleasantly surprised how much better he was than we thought. The documentary Champions Forever came out in the late 80's and I remember being shocked how bad I thought he sounded. Now I look at it and see the same ol' Ali almost. Yesterday he visited a gym in the UK and looked gaunt and extremely frail. When he takes his glasses off, his face looks deranged. I feel such sadness for the man who made things exciting for us kids of the 70's. He along with Evel Knievel made things magical for me and my friends on the block. I hope this isn't the end for the guy but it looks bad.



Here's the end of Champions Forever. Never before or since has such boxing talent been at the same table. Skip to 7:40 when the credits start to see some funny moments.

Swing You Bastard!

We reported on this horrific story some time ago. Here's an update.

Background:

According to news reports, Christian and Newsom had gone on a date at a local restaurant on Saturday, January 6, 2007, but did not return home. During their night out, the couple was "hijacked, bound and blindfolded and taken back to Lemaricus Devall 'Slim' Davidson's rented house on Chipman Street."

Christian's parents found her abandoned Toyota 4-Runner two blocks away from the Chipman Street house the following Monday with the help of her mobile phone provider. An envelope recovered from the vehicle yielded fingerprint evidence that led police to Lemaricus Davidson and 2316 Chipman Street. When police went to the address on Tuesday, January 9, they found the home unoccupied and Christian's body in a trash can in the kitchen.

According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, Newsom was repeatedly raped and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire. Christian's death would come only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Christian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with "an object," possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution - all while Christian was alive, the forensic expert said. She was then "hog-tied," with curtains and strips of bedding, her face covered tightly with a small trash bag and her body stashed inside five large trash bags before being placed inside a large trash can and covered with sheets. Christian died slowly, suffocating, the medical examiner said.

It ain't justice, but it's the best we can do in this crazy country:

Jurors this morning convicted Letalvis Cobbins of first-degree murder in the torture-slayings of Knox County couple Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.

The verdicts, after being reviewed by Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner, were announced before a packed courtroom.

Jurors on Wednesday will begin a penalty phase in which they will consider evidence about whether Cobbins, 26, of Kentucky, should be executed for the January 2007 kidnapping and murders.

The jury concluded that Cobbins had responsibility in all the crimes committed against Christian, 21, including first-degree murder. That conviction carries the death penalty.

The same panel, however, convicted him of the lesser charge of facilitating the murder of Newsom and acquitted him of charges involving the rape of Newsom, 23.

“I can’t even tell you what all those guilty verdicts were that he read,” Gary Christian said.

Light Bulb Snitching: Europe Takes a Page from the White House

Europeans have taken a page from the White House. Much like the health care snitch line, Europeans are being asked to rat out people who are using traditional light bulbs.

From September 1, it will be illegal to import conventional pearl or frosted bulbs of any shape or wattage. Traditional incandescent bulbs of 100 watts will also be banned under European law aimed at reducing energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions.

They will be replaced by energy saving lights, which usually use flourescent tubes, but it is thought some consumers will still prefer their 'traditional' bulbs, particularly for reading lamps.

There is evidence of people hoarding the old fashioned bulbs around Europe and enforcement agencies are ready to crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who continue to import the "illegal bulbs" from factories in China.

In Britain, trading standards officers will be carrying out inspections and members of the public will be able to report any shop continuing to stock the illegal bulbs.

Any individual found importing the bulbs into the EU will face a £5,000 fine and it could be an unlimited amount for big companies.

Nigel Farrage, the leader of UKIP, said the public should not be encouraged to snoop.

"Under this Government we begin to resemble East Germany in the 1980s where we snoop and report on local businesses," he said. "No doubt the next move will be to snoop on your parents if they continue to use old fashioned light bulbs."

Gordon Brown and Idiotic Scot Shocked Mass Murderer Broke His Promise Not to Celebrate

What's the world coming to when you can't take the word of a mass murderer?

The man who took the decision to free the Lockerbie bomber from jail on compassionate grounds accused him yesterday of breaking an undertaking not to celebrate his release.

Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, the Libyan convicted of the bombing, had shown “no sensitivity” to the families of those who died, Kenny MacAskill, Scotland’s Justice Secretary, told the Scottish Parliament. It was the first time that Scotland’s Nationalist administration has joined the condemnation of the triumphal scenes.

Aware that Britain is caught in the cross-hairs of international outrage, Gordon Brown is expected today to urge Libya not to fête al-Megrahi further. Appearing before the cameras for the first time in weeks, Mr Brown will hold talks at No 10 with Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, before taking questions from the press. Although Mr Brown is expected to issue a robust defence of his “principled decision” that the release was a matter only for the devolved Scottish government, diplomatic efforts are being made to restore Britain’s battered credibility among allies, including the US.

Amid a rumble of accusations that Britain connived at the release in return for trade deals with oil-rich Libya, aides said last night that Mr Brown was likely to disclose how he had demanded assurances from Tripoli that al-Megrahi would not be fêted in the celebrations on Tuesday to mark the 40th anniversary of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s seizure of power.

In Mr MacAskill’s statement yesterday to the Holyrood Parliament he said that the jubilation that greeted al-Megrahi in Libya, which included waving Scottish flags, was “a matter of great regret” to him. Libya had flouted assurances to the Scottish government that al-Megrahi would be given a muted reception in Tripoli, he said.

These morons are a long way removed from Winston Churchill.

Joe the Plumber's Revenge

During the 2008 election Samuel Joseph Wurzenbacher (aka Joe the Plumber) confronted Barack Obama during a campaign rally in Toledo Ohio. Wurzelbacher suggested that Obama's tax plan would be at odds with "the American dream." He said, "I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan's going to tax me more, isn't it?" Obama refuted Joe's arguments. The liberal press was quick to point out that Joe the Plumber owed back taxes and, instead of Obama offering him a Cabinet position, the liberals did all the could to demonize him. Joe is back with this song which is a parody of Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons".

China Kicking Our Ass in the "Green Job" Category

It is Obama who wants America to the be the world's leader in green technology. That's what he wants. Of course, he has no idea how to help American businesses accomplish that. Rather than decreasing taxes on American businesses and reducing regulation, he intends to increase their burdens. It's impossible to compete with Chinese companies paying their workers $1 an hour and that face no retarded environmental regulations.

Chinese auto company BYD plans to bring an all-electric sedan in small numbers to the U.S. next year.

The company chairman Wang Chuanfu told the Wall Street Journal that the company, which is part-owned by investor Warren Buffet, is now gearing up for a U.S. push. It plans to raise money by offering shares in the company in China to help finance the expansion.

BYD plans to offer a few hundred of one of its most advanced cars in the U.S., the five-seat e6, which takes seven to nine hours to fully charge and has a 250-mile range.

Initially, it will make the $40,000 car available to "government agencies, utilities and maybe some celebrities" in a specific region, Wang told the Journal during a factory tour of the BYD's lithium ion battery factory.

Chinese cars being made available to U.S. government entities? Well, given that Obama's friend Warren Buffet is part owner, I guess we shouldn't rule that out. More...

President Obama wants to make the United States “the world’s leading exporter of renewable energy,” but in his seven months in office, it is China that has stepped on the gas in an effort to become the dominant player in green energy — especially in solar power, and even in the United States.

Chinese companies have already played a leading role in pushing down the price of solar panels by almost half over the last year. Shi Zhengrong, the chief executive and founder of China’s biggest solar panel manufacturer, Suntech Power Holdings, said in an interview here that Suntech, to build market share, is selling solar panels on the American market for less than the cost of the materials, assembly and shipping.

Backed by lavish government support, the Chinese are preparing to build plants to assemble their products in the United States to bypass protectionist legislation. As Japanese automakers did decades ago, Chinese solar companies are encouraging their United States executives to join industry trade groups to tamp down anti-Chinese sentiment before it takes root.

We're losing. Save us Obama.

Boo! - Obama Administration Warns 90,000 Could Die from Swine Flu

Mind you, these are the same people who have been quoted as saying that a good crisis should never go to waste. Enter the new bogeyman.

Swine flu may infect half the U.S. population this year, hospitalize 1.8 million patients and lead to as many as 90,000 deaths, more than twice the number killed in a typical seasonal flu, White House advisers said.

In a report by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, President Barack Obama today was urged to speed vaccine production and name a senior member of the White House staff, preferably the homeland security adviser, to take responsibility for decision-making on the pandemic. Initial doses should be accelerated to mid-September to vaccinate as many as 40 million people, the advisory group said.

“This isn’t the flu that we’re used to,” said Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. “The 2009 H1N1 virus will cause a more serious threat this fall. We won’t know until we’re in the middle of the flu season how serious the threat is, but because it’s a new strain, it’s likely to infect more people than usual.”

Peter Gross, chief medical officer at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, said if the group’s scenario comes true, “I think every hospital in America is going to be in a crunch. We’ll be hard pressed to deal with those predictions,” he said.

Predictions ‘Overblown’

The predictions seem “overblown,” Gross said, given that swine-flu outbreaks in 1968 and 1957 failed to cause as many deaths, even with medical technology and disease surveillance less advanced than today.

“Influenza, you can make all the predictions you want, but it’s more difficult than predicting the weather,” Gross said in a telephone interview today, after the advisory report was made public. “If influenza was a stock, I wouldn’t touch it.”

Marine Blasts Congressman: 'Stay Away from My Kids"

This from the Marine's own youtube description:

I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy.

The Planet is Saved: Ben & Jerry's to Release Global Warming Friendly Ice Cream

I'm just going to go ahead and say that this idea will fail. Room temperature ice cream? That's like buying a car with no wheels.

Warm ice cream is the holy grail for scientists at Unilever, owner of the Magnum and Ben & Jerry’s brands, which is developing a “low-carbon” product to be sold at room temperature and frozen at home.

Unilever hopes that a product sold at room temperature will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ice cream is one of the company’s more energy-intensive products because of the need to keep it frozen during transport and storage.

Cannabis

In Nigeria cannabis is known by various names including "pot", "igbo", "wee wee", "marijuana", "ganja" and "Morocco". The active ingredient in all of these is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The mode of consumption in Nigeria is by smoking the prepared leaves and flowering seeds. There has been no reported use of other preparations.

Anyone see this story in the mainstream media? The no good, never gave a damn thing to America, all they've ever done is take from this country trouble makers start their racist behavior at about the 2:00 mark. It's comical to a point.

The Mainstream Media Tackles the Tough Issues of the Day: Michelle Obama's Short Shorts Causing Controversy

Our lead story today is the racist attack on Americans by a Mexican group that wants to conquer America. This is what the AP is reporting about. Ray Singletary, er uh, Michelle Obama in shorts.

By now, Michelle Obama has firmly established her sartorial right to bare arms. But baring thighs may be another matter.

Photographs of the first lady descending the steps of Air Force One in shorts have the media in a sweat. Some are saying Mrs. Obama — on her way to the Grand Canyon for a family vacation — may have revealed too much skin.

"I thought the fact that she wore shorts was newsworthy because she’s the first first lady to wear shorts on Air Force One,” Strzemien said. “I was interested as a newsperson because it was a first. A lot of things the Obamas have done have been firsts.”

She posted a poll for readers to explain what they thought: Most were in favor of the outfit, but others thought the shorts were inappropriate or too short.

NBC’s “Today” show poll had similar results with a whopping 300,000 people responding to the vote. The blog post was the show’s most commented-on of 2009, said Dee Dee Thomas, a “Today” senior producer.

This gets me all wee weed up.

This Is Not My Monkey Wrench. . .

I am a huge fan of cars, trucks, vehicles in general, and particularly gas-guzzling, muscled-up, "speed kills" cars like this fantabulous heap of ugly junk complete with 700 cubic inches of fully-blown insanity under the hood.

What? Oh yeah, what hood?

Or any other deathtrap ride, like Nils' brother's 1955 Chevrolet sporting an all-aluminum LS-7 427 powerplant. Can you say torque?

Or, for the discerning autophile, here is something a bit more sublime, a beautifully restored and slightly modified 1951 Chevrolet Pickup. Lots of chrome and a deep and rich cherry red paint job to die for. I'd sleep on a pile of asbestos shingles for a week to have a chance to launch Sonny's pickup down the quarter mile just once.

Cars and trucks come in all shapes, sizes, configurations, models, marks and arrangements. Some are utilitarian like this example of west Texas ingenuity. I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't want to mount a shooting platform on top of a truck for some wild west automatic weapon action? Or this darling little jungle Toyota, which makes up for lost beauty with a length of rope and good tires. Or even my own little jungle truck, nothing special, no a/c, no radio, holes in the seats, but the engine, transmission, headlights, wipers and windows all worked. Just fabulous!

I touched on all of this because these are prime examples of the free minds and free markets at work and the simple freedoms we often take for granted in this country. As Congress, Obama and his administration prove over and over again, they are completely inept at managing even the most minor of bureaucracies, such as the Cash For Clunkers program, which I personally refer to as the Let's Destroy Some Perfectly Good Automobiles For No Good Reason program. This program is so poorly managed that nearly half of 425 auto dealers in New York have withdrawn from the red tape and fouled mechanics of this "stimulus" plan. Another great idea from the left-wing of our political system.

And they want to run healthcare too! No problem! And by the way, while no one was looking, President Buckethead decides to cash a check for $2 billion of our tax revenues to fund off-shore drilling in Alaska Brazil. Well, gee-wilikers Wally, ain't that just great??

Let's talk about oil for a minute. Sure, it's hard to get it, drilling impacts the environment and the carbon emitted from the internal combustion engine is probably doing harm to our planet. But, until someone comes up with a more tolerable, available, and cleaner, mass-produced, energy source we are stuck with oil. Oil is and always will be a necessary part of our industry, our transportation needs and our lifestyle.

Sure, burning gasoline is bad for the atmosphere and our health; a walk around a large metropolis proves that instantly, but are you willing to live without, say for instance, transparent tape? 3-in-one oil? Panty hose? Lifejackets? Fishing rods? Guitar strings? Just a few of the things created by the base product, crude oil. There is no useful alternative as of yet.

We won't be getting our petroleum products from windmills or lithium batteries or composted egg shells. Nay, this stuff comes from the great, green earth and why the Obama administration is spending our money for oil exploration in another country (one that doesn't particularly like us by the way) is frustrating and works against his big idea of "creating or saving" x-million jobs plus "energy independence" in the USA.

See folks, it is a sickness, a malignant narcissism of the left in this country that drives this insane and continued beatdown of the US and genuflection to others that hate our status as the only living, breathing, true democracy on the planet. Since the liberals have taken over, micromanaging everything in our daily lives, we must do our part to quell our hard left turn, whether by screaming or yelling in their faces or by the better preferred, calm, cool and collected factual conversation. It is our duty and our privilege and frankly, we are smarter than them.

If we are not able to temper these mindless champions of dopey, utopian ideas with common sense and open-market freedoms, next thing you know we'll all be riding around on Big Wheels® made of regurgitated woods chips from organic beaver cooperatives and tires made from hemp-reinforced, freeze-dried, tofu.

There are hordes of intelligent people in the United States and industry should be allowed to invent, to burn bright with marketable and useful technologies augmented by tax cuts and tax incentives for discovery of the next new energy source. Mandated lead zeppelins born from the loud echo chamber of hyperbole, extremism and incomprehensible lunacy in Washington are no solution.

We all wish to be good stewards of the environment, as long as it doesn't infringe on our God-given gift of freewill. But when government begins mandating "change" by ramming it down our tender gullets is when the keystone of this country, business and industry, will suffer. And thus, so shall we.

I leave you with this simple photograph and as always a photo is worth a thousand words.


I have three: Need equals invention.

Cash for Clunkers a Massive Failure - A Really Massive Failure

And these same buffoons want us to believe they can run our health care. Can they do anything right? Anything?

The National Automobile Dealers Association is urging the federal government to begin shutting down the Cash for Clunkers program immediately.

In a statement released Wednesday evening, NADA said that, given the rapid pace at which deals are being done, it will be difficult to say when the program’s funds may run out.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said earlier Wednesday that all dealers would be reimbursed.

However, the NADA said, in its statement, that the group had “confirmed elsewhere” that dealers would not get paid if cash ran out.

In a survey of nearly 800 dealers,

* 97% of dealers who responded, say the government is not reimbursing fast enough
* 13% of dealers have dropped out the program because the government is not reimbursing fast enough
* 87% percent of dealers are concerned the money will be exhausted
* 3% of CARS program deals have been reimbursed
* 66% of dealers have not received one payment from the government
* 25% of dealers are experiencing severe cash flow problems that require short-term loans to alleviate
* 11% of submitted applications have been approved (though dealers still are waiting for the money)
* 16% of submitted applications have been rejected
* 55% of dealers are not confident they will get reimbursed for every deal
* 40% do not want the program to continue, even if changes are made to the CARS program

Greenpeace Leader Admits Lying About Arctic Ice Melting

Gerd Leipold, the outgoing leader of Greenpeace, admitted that his organization's recent claim that the Arctic Ice will disappear by 2030 was "a mistake." Greenpeace said in a July 15 press release that there will be an ice-free Arctic by 2030 because of global warming. BBC reporter Stephen Sackur on the "Hardtalk" program pressed Leipold until he admitted the claim was wrong.

There's a Fever in the Funkhouse Now

Sometimes we just have to break ranks and remind ourselves how to rock n' roll. I have no deadlines or quotas. I don't answer to Pajama's Media. So I can do this. And that's why I'm so very special.

MSNBC Edits Video Of Black Gun Toter

And then proceeds to say white racist gun toters are showing up at Obama appearances.

These guys have sunk so low you can't even call this news anymore. Imagine all the time put in to edit the video just so you can propagate a lie. It's criminal in my book. Here's the edited, MSNBC video.

Here's the video before MSNBC hid the man's blackness.

White House Reveals Obama is Bipolar

Obama to Hold Conference Call with Union Thugs About Health Care Support

Obama is going to have a conference call tomorrow with the head of the SEIU. The same union that has had members arrested for beating opponents of Obamacare. Beating Kenneth Gladney and putting hin in a wheelchair and a neck brace.

The SEIU has also bussed in goons to whoop up on health care opponents at town hall meetings.


Obama has organized a band of burger flipping, bed sheet changing thugs to intimidate the American people. And tommorrow he is set to unleash the hounds of hell.

She's not a doctor. But she did stay at a Holiday Inn Express. This time the phony was at a Barney Frank Town Hall Meeting.

Why Black People Don't Visit National Parks

This might be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

America's only Black Ranger at Yosemite National Park says Blacks don't visit our national parks because the soil/land reminds them of racism.



This guy missed the memo on a post-racial America.

"Woman" Sprinter Asked to Undergo Gender Verification Test

Yeah. I'd say the test would be a good idea. Damn!

The fate of controversial South African 800 metres runner Caster Semenya remains unclear with international athletics officials believed to be meeting in Berlin this morning to decide if the 18-year-old will be permitted to race in the final.

With the women's final on tonight, Semenya is at the centre of a storm regarding whether she is a woman, or a man, or something in between.

Semenya has come from obscurity to race favouritism in the two-lap slog. The teenager from Pretoria has raised eyebrows due to her stocky, muscular physique and apparently masculine characteristics, including facial hair.

The Age understands that various tests have been performed on Semenya, including a ''physical check'' and genetic screening as officials scramble to resolve the question of her gender.

Obama Does it with a Flair

College Credits for Pushing Obama's Agenda

And the indoctrination continues. They might as well be doing this. It ain't like there are any jobs out there for them to get. From The Weekly Standard:

I received an email at my University of Oregon account today informing me that there are “intern opportunities with Organizing for America,” formerly Obama for America. According to the email, OFA is launching what it calls the “National Organizing Internship” for college students around the country. From the email:

Organizing Interns work side by side with OFA staff and community leaders to help build support for President Obama's agenda. They will learn core organizing principles that are crucial for any campaign.

President Obama describes his time as a community organizer by saying: "It was the best education I ever had, because I learned in those neighborhoods that when ordinary people come together, they can achieve extraordinary things."

This is your chance to get that same education.

If you're passionate about making sure every American has quality health care, reviving our economy, and building a clean energy future, don't miss this great opportunity. No previous experience is needed in order to apply.

Yes, you, too, can learn how to walk door-to-door and hand people flyers! You will also learn core phone-banking principles and how the OFA staff prefers their coffee. And yes, students are eligible to receive college credit for pushing the president’s agenda, provided they set it up with their school. Become a cog in the great hope machine today! Just don’t call it astroturfing!

UPDATE: This college is requiring incoming freshmen to read Obama's "Dreams of My Father". And there are parents who pay to send their children there.

Incoming students at Ithaca College will get together the day before the start of classes to discuss their summer reading assignment: Barack Obama’s “Dreams from My Father.” The 44th president’s autobiography was chosen as the 2009–10 First-Year Reading Initiative selection.

“President Obama’s ruthlessly honest self-examination on issues of race and identity gives us an opportunity to lead students through what could be the most important conversation they will have during their freshman year,” says Ithaca College President Tom Rochon.

Here's another book that was once required reading in universities.

Seniors Revolt - Drop AARP Like a Bad Habit

60,000 seniors have dropped their AARP membership since July 1. Do the liberals still think this is just a concocted opposition by just a small number of right-wing extremists? I do feel bad for the AARP, however. Obama lying about the AARP endorsing his plan cost them untold millions. That's sort of what Obama does though. Lie.

CBS News has learned that up to 60,000 people have cancelled their AARP memberships since July 1, angered over the group's position on health care.

Elaine Guardiani has been with AARP for 14 years, and said, "I'm extremely disappointed in AARP."

Retired nurse Dale Anderson has 12 years with AARP and said, "I don't wanna be connected with AARP."

Many are switching to the American Seniors Association, a group that calls itself the conservative alternative as CBS News Investigative Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.

Last week alone, they added more than 5,000 new members. Our camera was there Friday when the mail came.

Letters were filled with cut-up AARP cards.

"I think that probably the seniors are most upset with cuts in Medicare," said ASA President Stuart Barton.

The American Seniors Association is flat-out against President Obama's plan, which calls for $313 billion dollars in Medicare cuts over ten years. The AARP is widely viewed as supporting the President.

Last week, Obama told a town meeting in Portsmouth, NH, "We have the AARP on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors."

The AARP called the President's statements "inaccurate," saying it hasn't endorsed any plan or bill.

"Racist" Obama as Joker Artist Found - Doh!...He's a Democrat!

Another blow to the rapidly sinking nutroot ship. Do liberals really want to insist this man is a racist?

When cryptic posters portraying President Obama as the Joker from "Batman" began popping up around Los Angeles and other cities, the question many asked was, Who is behind the image?

Was it an ultra-conservative grassroots group or a disgruntled street artist going against the grain?

Nope, it turns out, just a 20-year-old college student from Chicago.

Bored during his winter school break, Firas Alkhateeb, a senior history major at the University of Illinois, crafted the picture of Obama with the recognizable clown makeup using Adobe's Photoshop software.

Alkhateeb had been tinkering with the program to improve the looks of photos he had taken on his clunky Kodak camera. The Joker project was his grandest undertaking yet. Using a tutorial he'd found online about how to "Jokerize" portraits, he downloaded the October 23 Time Magazine cover of Obama and began digitally painting over it.

Four or five hours later, he happily had his product.

Obama-joker-time On Jan. 18, Alkhateeb uploaded the image to photo-sharing site Flickr (shown at right). Over the next two months, he amassed just a couple thousand hits, he said.

Then the counter exploded after a still-anonymous rogue famously found his image, digitally removed the references to Time Magazine, captioned the picture with the word "socialism" and hung printed copies around L.A., making headlines.

Alkhateeb's original Flickr page surpassed 20,000 views. The Times found his Flickr site last week thanks to a tip left by a loyal reader of The Ticket. By Friday, the page had been taken down.

On Alkhateeb's page, a manipulated image condemning fellow Chicagoan and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (captioned "epic fail") was mixed in with parodies of the "Guitar Hero" game franchises -- dubbed Quran Hero -- and of Napoleon riding a motorcycle (pictured after the jump).

Flickr had removed the Joker image due to copyright-infringement concerns, Alkhateeb says the company told him in an e-mail. A Flickr spokeswoman declined to comment due to a company policy that bars discussing inquiries about individual users.

Alkhateeb says he wasn't actively trying to cover his tracks, but he did want to lay low. He initially had concerns about ...

... connecting his name with anything critical of the president -- especially living in Chicago, where people are "very, very liberal," he said.

"After Obama was elected, you had all of these people who basically saw him as the second coming of Christ," Alkhateeb said. "From my perspective, there wasn't much substance to him."

"I abstained from voting in November," he wrote in an e-mail. "Living in Illinois, my vote means close to nothing as there was no chance Obama would not win the state." If he had to choose a politician to support, Alkhateeb said, it would be Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

A Tale of Two Spammers

From the who can and cannot spam files:

Dateline: July 22, 2008

The "spam king" was sentenced on Tuesday to 47 months in prison, with a ruling that the court hopes sends a message to other online criminals.

Robert Soloway, the man known as the spam king for the massive volume of spam he sent out, pleaded guilty to fraud, spamming and tax evasion after being indicted in May 2007. After an unusually long sentencing hearing lasting two-and-a-half days, Judge Marsha Pechman handed down her sentence in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in Seattle.

Dateline: August 18, 2009

The White House told FOX News that third-party groups sending online petitions to the official administration Web site could be to blame for a rash of e-mails that have gone out to people who never requested them. The theory is that these groups are including the names and e-mails of members and petition-signers along with the petitions themselves, in turn embedding those e-mails into the White House distribution list.

But online petitions are not the only culprit, and critics say the White House still has some explaining to do.

Several people who received the White House e-mails have told FOX News they're not members of any organization and have not been advocating for any cause. And they're puzzled over how the White House got their information.

And a new spam defense is born. The devil made me do it. Slippery slope anyone?

Need to Snitch on a Health Care Opponent? - There's an App for That

CNN Anchor: "Stop Saying Real Americans"

Nice unbiased piece of work here CNN. No moron. We're not all real Americans. Some of us what to see it prosper. Some of you want to destroy it.



Case in point. CNN did not challenge this guest's assertion that the founding fathers set up a system of white supremacy. As I said. We are NOT all real Americans.

Video: Obamacare Protestor Punched in the Face by Hope and Change Goons

Sure. These are the ones we've been waiting for. More Union thuggery. Well. Obama did tell his people to get in their faces.

The assault took place at the end of an opening speech Congressman Price at North Carolina Central University in Durham. Eyewitnesses of the assault say claim the assailant was an African-American woman who openly supported Obama.

Conservatives who went to the meeting sponsored by SEANC, the South’s leading employee union with 55,000 members, say it was highly scripted and was more of a presentation than an actual townhall meeting. Union-run Security banned any anti-health-care reform posters while allowing Democrats to distribute leaflets promoting Barack Obama.

As security officials took away the assailant, Democrat Party supporters mocked the victim, asking him, “do you have health care?”.

Obama's Next Move: Kill Talk Radio

That's how I see it. And I know that's how Obama sees it. In Obama's eyes, he's not losing his health care battle because it's a jacked up socialist plan that the American people overwhelmingly reject. In Obama's eyes, he's losing this battle because the American people are too informed (or as he likes to say, misinformed). And thus, he needs to quash that stream of information. Expect Obama and his henchmen to go after conservative talk radio, and maybe even the conservative blogosphere in a fast and furious manner. Expect it. And also expect that strategy to blow up in his face as well.

Victory in America!!! - Obama Surrenders Public Health Care Option

It's Victory in America Day. Obama is retreating on all cylinders. Nice political courage you got there Barry. Piss your pants much?

It appears the White House is abandoning the public option of Obamacare. Describing it is as "non-essential. Note how AP characterizes it as "bowing to Republican pressure". Bullshit! They're bowing to the pressure of the American people. Tell the truth AP. Tell the truth.

Bowing to Republican pressure, President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that government alternative to private health insurance is "not the essential element" of the administration's health care overhaul. The White House would be open to co-ops, she said, a sign that Democrats want a compromise so they can declare a victory.

Let me break that down for you. Sebelius is saying, "we thought the American people were asleep...of course it's a stupid idea, and damn those conservative bloggers for exposing our true socialist goals". Meddling Sea-Kittens strike again.
