For Those in the Eastern Time Zone ...
Start the year with one of the sweetest folks on the interwebs, Julia Nunes.
A Teepee in Afghanistan
A memorial to our fallen.
Interesting guy, Michael Yon. I read his first book, Danger Close.
They Love Obama in Jalalabad
They love Obama in Afghanistan. They just haven't been told so yet by the mainstream media.
People chant anti-American slogans and burn an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama in Jalalabad, south Afghanistan, Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2009 during a protest against the recent killings of 10 civilians allegedly by the coalition forces in Kunar province. The head of a presidential delegation investigating the deaths of 10 people in eastern Afghanistan concluded Wednesday that civilians, including schoolchildren, were killed in an attack involving foreign troops, disputing NATO reports that the dead were insurgents.

Colorado Man May Lose Job Over "Mean" Obama Picture
If this were a "mean" picture of Jesus, this man's job would not be in danger.
At least one Colorado Department of Transportation employee is being investigated for sending an inappropriate email featuring President Barack Obama and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
When we got our hands on the email Tuesday, we immediately contacted CDOT. They tell us at least one employee could be fired for this. "We're taking this very seriously," said Mindy Crane, Spokesperson for CDOT.
The title of the email is "Picture of the year" and the photo of Obama and Palin inside may be considered as racially charged and offensive. The one liner in the email says "It appears he has found his niche," referring to President Obama. The attachment is a photo-shopped picture of President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The sender of the email is a 73 year-old CDOT supervisor. "It's certainly an inappropriate email to begin with, but its the fact too that it's being sent on state time and using state resources and for that we find that very unacceptable," Crane said. CDOT says its IT department is looking into how many employees may have forwarded the email.
According to voting records, the woman is a registered Democrat, although it's unknown if she voted for Obama.
Add Another Attack to the List - Muslim Madman Guns Down People at Mall in Finland
I see the religion of peace is ringing in the new year.
A gunman opened fire inside a busy shopping center near the Finnish capital of Helsinki Thursday, leaving five people dead, police said. Four of the victims -- three men and one woman -- were killed at the Sello shopping center in Espoo, just west of Helsinki, police said. Some were employees of a grocery store at the mall, police said.
A fifth victim, also an employee of the grocery store, was found later at an apartment in Espoo, police said, without offering details. CNN affiliate MTV3 said the victim was a woman. Police told a news conference hours after the shootings that they found a sixth victim, who they believed to be the shooter. Police had previously identified the suspect as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli.
Environmental Nutjobs Start Website for Snitching
They even have an Iphone app for snitching. The website EcoSnoop invites visitors to snitch on people who are enjoying just a little too much liberty. As best I can tell, it's just a bunch of zit-faced teens reporting people for leaving lights on during the day. And most of those reports are of automatic street lights that have come on because of heavy clouds and bad weather. I had this same idea for reporting piles of dog poop. It never got off the ground.
African-American Students Sue School for Being Harassed Because They Were Acting Too White
This is just bizarre.
Two Williamsburg County students and members of their family have reached a $150,000 settlement in what may be the first Title VI lawsuit based on claims of intra-racial discrimination in South Carolina public schools. Lawrence "Larry" Kobrovsky, a Charleston attorney who focuses his practice on constitutional law and school issues, said the parties settled after a female student's claims of sexual and racial harassment at a Salters school went to trial in U.S. District Court in Florence.
The suit was one of two against the Williamsburg County School District and school officials. The other suit, filed on behalf of the student's uncle, was dismissed. The two students each received $50,000, and two family members who filed the suits on their behalf received $25,000 apiece, according to Kobrovsky. The settlements were reported to South Carolina Lawyers Weekly last week.
"What made this unique is that this, as far as I know, is the only Title VI case ever brought in federal court when it's an intra-racial hostile environment," Kobrovsky said. Both students were African-American, and so was most of the elementary school's student body, according to Kobrovsky. Most students were also black at the high school that her uncle attended. The problem was the culture of rural Williamsburg County, he said. "You have a culture where to act like you want to do well in school is considered acting white. And that is part of why we're saying that it was racial, even though the students were all of the same race because they weren't acting how the others thought they should be acting as members of that race," Kobrovsky said. The uncle testified that racial separation in the county generally meant white students attended private schools while black students attended public schools. At the public schools, he said, fitting in meant not being what his family was: "churchy," "upright" and wanting education, as another witness put it, according to a trial transcript. "You see, it's a crime to act white, or it's a crime to be white," the uncle testified. Harassment, he testified, made him feel that "we are just dumb, we're just not people, we're undergraded, we're degraded, and we're not even supposed to be in this world."Wiggers everywhere must be licking their chops.

Top Story of 2009
This story was my favorite of 2009. Come on. Little boys running around waving their things. Exerting their hope and change. Great country huh? 
A tiny Mississippi delta town has elected its first black mayor after the white incumbent, unopposed for 30 years, faced a young challenger inspired by President Barack Obama's feat in winning the White House."Swinging their things around"? Is that what hope and change means to some people?
In a shock result in Alligator (population 220), Tommie “Tomaso” Brown, 38, defeated Robert Fava, the mayor since 1979, owner of the general store and once his opponent’s boss, by 37 votes to 27.
"They wanted a black mayor,” said a philosophical Mr Fava, 71. “Another Obama - I think that’s what brought it on. I ran on ’30 years of dedicated service’ and he ran on ’Change’. He promised a swimming pool and a recreation centre, which he can’t do.
Alligator, some 90 miles south of Memphis, was once a thriving town whose population swelled to more than 1,000. Its economic backbone was provided by European immigrants, especially Italians, who came to work on the plantations in the Deep South’s fertile Mississippi delta at the start of the 20th Century.
Mr Brown was the first black man ever to stand for Mayor of Alligator and it took Mr Obama’s election to galvanise him into action. “Obama was a major influence on everybody,” he said, almost drowned out by the chirping of crickets in the sweltering afternoon heat. “He inspired me. I’m not going to take that from him.
I just want the people to be comfortable. Small towns like this depend on government funding and that’s what we’re seeking.
Some youngsters ran into Mr Fava’s store to taunt him. “They was pulling down their pants, shouting, ’Kiss my black ass, because we got a black mayor’, swinging their things around and throwing stuff,” said Jennifer Green, 31, a black mother of 10.
Miss Green is dubious about whether Mr Brown, whose duties will include organising contract labour, overseeing the water and sewer systems and distributing any grant monies, can deliver. “He says there’s going to be lots of changes and everything with all these kids running around here.
"But he do the same thing they do, drinking beer and stuff. You’ve got to stay at home and study the town. Alligator is the kind of place where if you leave your door open, when you come back there ain’t nothing in your house.
"There’s guns. Kids knock on your door asking for a beer at three and four in the morning. I get 14-year-olds asking me if I want weed or whatever. They should have just left Mr Robert in there.
Black Liquor with a Diesel Chaser
"In a year where the government famously entered the automobile business and spent months trying to increase its presence in the healthcare industry as well, state support of the pulp and paper industry went largely unnoticed by the general public. On the level of sheer weirdness, and as a case study in unintended consequences, however, it was at least the equal of the more notorious bailouts. In one year, approximately three dozen companies received upwards of $8 billion from the U.S. Treasury for increasing their consumption of diesel fuel when they were supposed to be decreasing it, depressing worldwide paper prices at a time when demand for paper isn’t particularly strong, and discouraging the production of recycled paper in the name of environmental sustainability. Oh, and as if that weren’t enough, they almost started a war—okay, a trade war—with Canada!"
International Paper and other paper companies burn their waste as fuel for their operations. By adding diesel fuel to the waste ("Black Liquor"), it qualified them for huge tax credits as an alternative fuel. They made much more from these credits than from any other operations such as, well, making paper. Suddenly they were able to sell paper at less than cost, and Canadian competitors felt this was an unfair government subsidy.
Moral of the story? Anytime the government gets involved in the marketplace, it'll f**k it up, and sharp operators will take advantage. Good thing it's only paper, and not something important, like health care!
Russia to Save Earth by Knocking Asteroid of a Collision Path
Thanks Russia. But playing God is Obama's job.
Russia's space chief said Wednesday his agency will consider sending a spacecraft to a large asteroid to knock it off its path and prevent a possible collision with Earth. Anatoly Perminov said the space agency will hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis, telling Golos Rossii radio that it would invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project once it is finalized. When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated the chances of it smashing into Earth in its first flyby in 2029 were as high as 1-in-37.
White House Preparing to Push Amnesty in 2010
And who will stop them? Prepare for the mother of all race cards. Prepare to eat crap sandwiches for the rest of your natural born life.
Reporting from Washington - With the healthcare battle still unfinished, the Obama administration has been laying plans to take up an issue that could prove even more divisive -- a major overhaul of the nation's immigration system. Senior White House aides privately have assured Latino activists that the president will back legislation next year to provide a path to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
In a recent conference call with proponents, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, political director Patrick Gaspard and others delivered the message that the White House was committed to seeing a substantial immigration bill pass and wanted to make sure allies were prepared for the fight.I'll tell you what this is.
Can't See the Farm for the Forest
If your goal is to create a liberal utopia in your own image, then what do you do with all those other people who don't think like you? You starve them.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has ordered his staff to revise a computerized forecasting model that showed that climate legislation supported by President Obama would make planting trees more lucrative than producing food. The latest Agriculture Department economic-impact study of the climate bill, which passed the House this summer, found that the legislation would profit farmers in the long term. But those profits would come mostly from higher crop prices as a result of the legislation's incentives to plant more forests and thus reduce the amount of land devoted to food-producing agriculture.
According to the economic model used by the department and the Environmental Protection Agency, the legislation would give landowners incentives to convert up to 59 million acres of farmland into forests over the next 40 years. The reason: Trees clean the air of heat-trapping gases better than farming does.
Obama Vows Justice Will Be Served on Terrorists - Then Goes Snorkeling
Feel safe do ya?
President Barack Obama on Monday vowed to track down all those behind an attempt to bring down a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, confronting criticism that he had slipped up on national security. "We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable," Obama said, interrupting his year-end vacation in Hawaii to assure Americans that his administration was doing all it could to ensure security after a Nigerian man managed to smuggle explosives onto a Detroit-bound flight.
"The American people should be assured that we are doing everything in our power to keep you and your family safe and secure during this busy holiday season," he said. Obama said the U.S. reaction would be forceful. "We will continue to use every element of our national power to disrupt, to dismantle and defeat the violent extremists who threaten us, whether they are from Afghanistan or Pakistan, Yemen or Somalia, or anywhere where they are plotting attacks against the U.S. homeland," Obama said.And then...
Obama left the reporters taking his words in Hawaii and went snorkeling.

CIA Was Tracking CrotchBomber
Our government is in the very best of hands.
Also, Fox News says the Knickerbomber's dad contacted the U.S. Embassy not once, not twice, but three times attempting to warn us of his son's jihadi views.
Monday, December 28, 2009
How Did the Crotchbomber Get on a U.S. Plane?
We had every opportunity to stop him.
"When a prominent Nigerian banker and former government official phoned the American Embassy in Abuja in October with a warning that his son had developed radical views, had disappeared and might have traveled to Yemen, embassy officials did not revoke the young man’s visa to enter the United States, which was good until June 2010.
Instead, officials said Sunday, they marked the file of the son, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, for a full investigation should he ever reapply for a visa. And when they passed the information on to Washington, Mr. Abdulmutallab’s name was added to 550,000 others with some alleged terrorist connections — but not to the no-fly list. That meant no flags were raised when he used cash to buy a ticket to the United States and boarded a plane, checking no bags."

Is It Child Abuse?
I just let a two year-old listen to a selection of old ska music, including the Maytals from 1962, with headphones. I like this cover of Pressure Drop by the late Robert Palmer. Check it out, while imagining a little boy rocking out to "A Message to You, Rudy" wearing only a diaper.

I hope Obamacare covers rehab.
Best Buy Wishes You a Happy Kwanzaa
That's the message I saw at the top of this Sunday's Best Buy flyer. "Happy Kwanzaa". Y'all might remember this is the company that refuses to put "Merry Christmas" on their flyers. And I've never seen them. I'd post a picture, but I'm without the means. Happy Kwanzaa? Nah. Shove it up your arse.

Arab-American Cleric Gave Okay to Ft. Hood Murders
American-Yemeni Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki told Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan that it was religiously permissible to kill U.S. soldiers on American soil, according to an Al-Jezeera interview.
"He said Hasan contacted him by email a year ago to ask whether the killing of American soldiers and officers could be justified as religiously legitimate, and that they continued their correspondence until the middle of this year."
Strangely, Al-Awlaki may have been killed in an air strike in Yemen this morning, along with Nasser al-Wahayshi, the Yemeni leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and his Saudi deputy, Saeed al-Shehri

Obama Sanctions Gestapo in the U.S.
Last week, Obama gave Interpol free reign here in the States. Staffed by Americans, based out of the Department of Justice, they have diplomatic immunity. They are not subject to American law and are not restrained by our constitution. We have no legal access to their archives at the DoJ, and they aren't subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
So, due to Hopey signing an Executive Order amending a previous Executive Order, he has an untouchable police force uncontrolled by Constitution, law, custom, or other American police forces (FBI, Secret Service, etc.). What could possibly go wrong? Anyone objecting is either paranoid or racist.
Pop Quiz: Who Said This?
"I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process."
You'll never guess in a million years.

Best High School Quarterback in the South Can't Get a Scholarship
He's a record-breaking QB who can also play defense. No one has ever been as successful. He won the Mississippi All-Star football game. His stats so far:
"The younger Favre, who passed for 5,589 yards and 63 touchdowns in leading the Rock-a-chaws to a Class 4A state championship earlier this month, completed 24 of 30 passes to nine receivers for 254 yards and one TD to win the South’s MVP honor."
"He also rushed for 24 yards and scored on a 1-yard run in the third quarter to give his team a 24-3 lead."
He's a frick'n scoring machine. His only college offer so far: play defense for Southern Miss., where his uncle once played (The photo shows him with FSU blacked out under his eyes, in a last minute bid to be noticed by a big school). No wants him, 'cause he's "only" 5' 10". Maybe somebody should ask Doug Flutie.
Did I mention his uncle? Some Choctaw called Brett Favre.
The Four Schools of American Foreign Policy
Tell me these categories aren't accurate.
George W. Bush was a Wilsonian who eventually had to give in to America's Jacksonian core values. Indians hate Andrew Jackson's memory and hope he burns in Hell. He screwed us over- using the Executive Branch's military power to defy the Supreme Court and destroy Indian sovereignty, territory, and taking away their farms, mills, mines, ferries and other businesses - making us starving, cross-continental refugees. Still, most Indians are Jacksonians.
"The Hamiltonians are people who think the United States needs to become the same kind of great power in the world that Britain was at its peak. We need to have a strong economy. The federal government should be working hand-in-glove with large corporations and great business interests to advance their interest in overseas trade. We should try to build a global order of trade and economic relations that keep us so rich that we can afford to do what Britain used to do, which is to keep any one country from getting too strong in Europe and Asia to affect our vital interest, to threaten us. And when a country threatens to take over, either Europe or Asia, then we should build up a coalition against them and bring them down, either by peace or war. That's been a vision that has moved a lot of people. George Washington to some degree had this view of American foreign policy.
Then you've got its opposite, the Jeffersonian view, which says the United States government should not go hand-in-glove with corporations. That will undermine democracy. It'll get us involved with despots abroad. We'll be supporting evil dictators because some American corporation has economic interest that is advanced by this. And, also, this is going to undermine democracy at home. So you look at somebody like Ralph Nader as a Jeffersonian, who sees the Word Trade Organization (WTO) as a corporate, big-government plot against democracy at home and democracy abroad.
But at the same time, this Hamiltonian goal of a grand, global order gets us involved in conflicts with people overseas. We're involved in the Middle East, so people hate us in the Middle East, so they come and attack us as on September 11th. "If we'd never set foot in the Middle East, we wouldn't have these problems," say Jeffersonians. That's the logic of antiwar movements, and we've certainly seen a lot of Jeffersonian [values] over the generations.
Wilsonians -- and I think we all intuitively know what that is -- hold the belief in the United Nations, international law. The United States should be pushing our values around the world and turning other countries into democracies whether they like it or not. And the U.S. should also work multilaterally in institutions. We should be supporting things like the International Criminal Court, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. And we should not be unilateralist in our approach. We should put human rights ahead of trade, and so on.
Then finally, you've got a group called the Jacksonians, for Andrew Jackson. One way I describe them is to talk about an incident in American history that illustrates a lot of that school's values. When Andrew Jackson was a general in 1818, he was fighting a war against the Creek Indians in Georgia. Because Florida at the time was still under Spanish rule and there were two Englishmen in Florida selling arms to the Indians, who were then attacking U.S. forces in Georgia. Jackson took the U.S. Army across the international frontier into Spanish territory without any permissions or any U.N. resolutions. He went in there, arrested the two Brits, brought them back to the United States, tried them before a military tribunal and hanged them. And this did cause outrage in Europe. They said "These people have no respect for international law." But it made Jackson so popular in the U.S. that his election to the presidency was just a matter of time after 1818. [The idea is]: "Don't bother with people abroad, unless they bother you. But if they attack you, then do everything you can."
So in the 1930s, Hitler takes over Paris; we don't move an inch. He starts exterminating the Jews; we don't move an inch. Japan is [carrying out aggression] all over Asia. And on December 6, 1941, any opinion poll in the country would have said that most Americans wanted to stay out of World War II. Then December 7th, Japan attacks Pearl Harbor and suddenly the polls change. Jacksonians: when somebody attacks the hive, you come swarming out of the hive and you sting them to death. And Jacksonians, when it comes to war, don't believe in limited wars. They don't believe, particularly, in the laws of war. War is about fighting, killing, and winning with as few casualties as possible on your side. But you don't worry about casualties on the other side. That's their problem. They shouldn't have started the war if they didn't want casualties.
So, four schools."
So ... as long as foreigners leave us alone, f**k 'em. As soon as they attack us, f**k 'em 'till their dead. Maybe all of 'em, what the hell.
Holy Land: Not for Christians Anymore
The West Bank, Gaza and Israel are no longer safe for Christians. They are leaving Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, for their own safety. In Gaza, even the dead are not safe. Hamas digs up Christian cemeteries to remove the pollution from "Islamic" land.
Never forget this behavior, when the Philistines come begging for more aid. Or the Israelis, for that matter. Merry Christmas.

What Happened to Me Yesterday (Part 3)
Yes. You guessed it. I'm the the guy in the black hat. And the other guy in the black hat, with Ned Beatty, is just another false prophet. Akin to our contemporary conservative leaders.

Taliban Gets Punked By Female Soldier
Muslim fanatics get owned by a woman. That's gotta hurt.
A California Army National Guard group was attacked Saturday by a "complex double ambush" from Taliban fighters along a treacherous mountain road in eastern Afghanistan while the unit was returning from helping farmers in isolated villages, the Army reported today.
The Californians' slow-moving six-vehicle convoy was attacked by two groups of Taliban militants firing medium machine guns and AK-47s. Most of the vehicles were hit and one was slightly disabled with a flattened tire and a bullet hole in the windshield, the Army said. The Guard soldiers, from the 40th Infantry Division, returned fire at the groups, one in a cave in the mountain, the other hiding across the Kunar River. The U.S. estimates that 15 to 20 Taliban fighters were engaged in the ambush.
Spc. Kathy Tanson, the only woman among the soldiers, raked one of the ambush sites with fire from a 50-caliber machine gun mounted atop one of the U.S. vehicles. Tanson, 20, from Corning in Northern California, volunteered to be part of the unit because of her expertise in farming techniques and managing livestock. All 64 members of the team are volunteers.

Warmists Control of Wikipedia Revealed
In order to hide the Medieval Warming Period, a small band of global warmists created the website RealClimate.org. They the assigned one of their own (U.K. scientist and Green Party activist William Connolley) the task of rewriting history through Wikipedia.
"All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn’t like the subject of a certain article, he removed it — more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of the arguments that others were making, he often had them barred — over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia’s blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement."

Cripple Fight: Paraplegic Kills Another Paraplegic for Making Fun of His Wee Wee
Shades of South Park. Tis the season...
Two wheelchair-bound men in an East Village shelter got into a name-calling argument early today that ended with one man stabbed dead and cops struggling to explain why they missed a chance to break up the fatal feud with an arrest.
The deadly episode began around 3:30 a.m. when the men, both paralyzed, got into an argument in the cafeteria of Freedom House on East 2nd Street. Others at the shelter said the victim, Ronal Garcia, 24, "had a really foul mouth," and would often get into arguments with older residents.
The alleged stabber, Felipe Cruz, 52, had been drinking and had a bad reputation for being a hothead when he consumed alcohol. "[Cruz] was talking about his [Garcia’s] genitals — you have a short one this, you have a short one that," said Garcia’s roommate, Norbert Toledo. That prompted Garcia to remove the footrest from his wheelchair and strike Cruz with it twice on the head, knocking him out of his chair. "[Shelter officials] called the police in.
They saw Felipe on the floor. Felipe told police he was hurt, but the police just thought he was drunk and fell out of his chair," said Toledo. "Felipe pointed out cameras and said he wanted to press charges. But the cops just sent the boy [Garcia] upstairs." After they left, Cruz, who used a motorized wheelchair, went to his room and got a homemade knife.
In a shelter hallway, Cruz zoomed up to Garcia, who had a slower manual wheelchair, and stabbed him repeatedly. A security guard wrested the knife away from Felipe. ‘I killed that motherf——-," Cruz was overheard saying. Garcia was rushed to Beth Israel Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 4:20 a.m. Cruz was arrested and charged with murder.

You Shall Not Pass!...Obamacare
Snarky Basterd asked that I cross-post this open letter from Feed Your ADHD:
Dear Every Senator:
You shall not pass this monstrosity Harry Reid calls health “reform” because in your twisted arrogance you are blind, unable to see everyone around you recoiling in horror, from the left to the moderate to the right to the voice of the American people expressed in every last poll spewing from the MSM. You know when CNN reports, actually reports, such widespread discontent that you people haven’t the capacity to see beyond the fog of the Twilight Zone surrounding your District of Criminals. You shall not pass this bill because we back here in flyover country know that whatever form it eventually takes at 8:30 p.m. this Christmas Eve, after you add a slew of amendments that weigh it down like rocks strapped to a hit vic, will be only scaffolding for the final hell you and the House will consummate and birth in committee next January, a bill that will kill the only healthcare in the world worth paying for, a bill that will blanket this country with single-payer care (despite claims otherwise), a bill that will destroy our options and stifle our liberty and not even remotely resemble your pResident’s hollow mantra of “hope.”
You shall not pass this bill because we cannot sustain your shopping spree. While the number of federal employees making over $100,000 has doubled in the past 18 months, and you just gave them a raise, the unemployment rate in this country is 10 percent and higher in many states you represent and not even close to getting better. In fact, the worst is yet to come. You’ve already sent us barreling beyond the legal debt limit and still you spend more so that you can travel far and wide, fatcat politicians laying claim to an endless stream of someone else’s money: OURS. You shall not pass this bill because it will break this country. You shall not pass this bill because this country doesn’t need another liberty controlling shell game disguised as “entitlement.” You already have entire generations of people under the loving arm of the Motherland, nuzzling against her for comfort and care, in health (we’ll get to “in sickness” in good time). You shall not pass this bill because it is NOT free and it will NOT do any good, except boost you’re own inflated and egotistical and maniacal sense of “making history.” You shall not pass this bill because you do not want to one day regret knowing that, by shoving everyone into the same healthcare plan, you destroyed our chances for ever grabbing a doctor’s time (otherwise known as creating “rationing”). You do not want to regret forcing people to become intimate with the wonderful world of waiting lists, as if we’re standing at the back of a line snaking outside our doctor’s waiting room into the hallway and outside the front door and across the street, stretching to the other side of the county. You do not want to regret forcing people to spend their waiting time being more productive than ever before … by reading War and Peace. While that’s unintended enrichment right there, Creator of Quality health care in the time it takes to read Tolstoy is not an epitaph you one day want chiseled on your tombstone. You shall not pass this bill because you do not want to chase every smart kid who ever wanted to be a doctor away from medical school. Since doctors already earn less, thanks to Medicare and Medicaid, your health “reform” would push would-be medical students into something else, like garbage collection … or undertaking. Those two businesses are easily the least likely to fall under your government control anytime soon. Garbage is money, always has been (ask The Mob); and for med students, taking care of the dead would be just a few steps away from operating on the live, without the $300,000 in student loan debt or the hassles of malpractice insurance. You shall not pass this bill because you do not want be responsible for the invention of doctor trailer parks. Under Obamacare, doctors who stay in the biz (due either to their own altruistic reasons or, more likely, to government extortion in exchange for the forgiveness of student loans or practice-related debt) will experience the community joy of public assistance, using food stamps to fill a shelf or two of their refrigerators (if they even have electricity). They’ll sell their homes at a loss and move into federal trailer parks for doctors, seeing patients out of the back room to cut down on practice overhead. The parks will have names like Bones Village and Blue Star Doctors Park and Good Samaritan Estates and take the place of hospitals, saving the federal government billions annually (because, naturally, we’ll have to bail out hospitals by then, too). They’ll become tourist destinations; we’ll plan vacations around our doctor visits and then tour the grounds, letting little Jimmy ride his first x-ray machine in exchange for a $5,000 admission fee. Universities will offer classes about them, with names like Contemporary Medical Trailer Park Economics and Staph Infection in the Trailer Park Hospital. You Congresscriminals, meanwhile, will continue to conduct annual hearings on the State of the American Healthcare Crisis. You shall not pass this bill because you do not want to create an entirely new travel industry. Under Obamacare, if you get cancer, you can see the world (or what’s left of it) after the Government Health Rationing Board rules you ineligible for care, saving the taxpayers (by then) billions. You’ll use your retirement savings, or what’s left after you pulled them out of the market just before The Crash of ’12 and hid them under a stone in the hearth, to take a fishing boat to Haiti, the ocean cruise business having gone under and Americans no longer visiting any country east of Bermuda after nuclear ballistic missiles, unable to reach North or South America, wiped out every other continent during Iranian President Ahmed Ahmadinejad’s failed attempts to annihilate Washington. You’ll meet a witch doctor who will make you drink chicken’s blood and mumble incantations while stuffing his face in a bong during a 4-hour ceremony to exorcise your tumor. Amazingly, you’ll recover and come back to America and live a long and healthy life, taking annual vacations (by row boat, since you’re now broke) to Haiti for preventive health care. You shall not pass this bill because you do not want to be responsible for creating less congestion in hospital emergency rooms … for all the wrong reasons. Under Obamacare, your typical accident victim will be treated only if they still have more than 75% of their blood and all of their limbs and at least 90% cognitive function (no substitutes, please). This will preserve the dwindling blood supply and eliminate the waste of resources required to keep a patient on life support. (Plus, it will help save the planet!) And think of the boon for transplantation! Why, with all of the accident victims unworthy of treatment ending up dead, we’ll have mobile organ harvesting sites outside each doctors’ trailer park. Donor waiting lists will become obsolete … that is, of course, if the recipients are still working and able to pay their share of taxes in support of the Motherland. You shall not pass this bill because, if ACORN can sue the federal government over funding cuts, you can bet your sweet ass millions of people in this country will gladly contribute to organizations willing to bombard you with lawsuits that will hold up your monstrosity for decades in courts. You shall not pass this bill because you can also bet your sweet ass that millions of us will refuse to purchase your mandated health insurance. You do not want to be the reason federal courts start stuffing American people into cells at the new Thomson Penitentiary for Enemy Combatants for refusing to submit to your unconstitutional authority to fine us and jail us and even shoot us over our healthcare insurance. And we will resist. Finally, you shall not pass this bill because you are supposed to be the voice of the people. You represent the state from which you were elected. You do not represent yourselves. You do not represent an arrogant and indecisive and thieving and weak president who is on the wrong side of what is right and on the wrong side of history. When it comes right down to it, you shall not pass this bill because, if you do, you can kiss your life in the District of Criminals goodbye; we, the right-wing teabagging mobsters living out here in flyover country, which curiously includes the states you represent, will make sure your careers of public indecent exposure will skid to an embarrassing and resounding and infinitely final halt in 2010 or 2012 or whenever you’re next election happens to be. Count on it.
Good Morning: You Got Health Care Reform
Happy? Anyone? Seriously, if you are, speak up;
Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas. "We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal. Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with Nelson on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block. But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state. Asked if he was prepared to support the bill, Nelson said, "Yeah." With Nelson seemingly on board, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid unveiled the final version of a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health insurance system that would expand coverage to an additional 31 million Americans, coming closer to attaining the Democrats' longsought goal of universal medical coverage.Folks. Take a long look at what's going on in our government. Not just this move, but all the moves, in total. You are living in the most corrupt and treasonous time in this nation's history. Our future has never been so bleak. And frankly, I don't see any hope of a comeback. Oh sure, I continue to fight. Because I know nothing else. But for the moment, I'm profoundly angry. I'm profoundly disappointed.
As with the the pygmies who built their bridge over the crocodiles, we have ensured ourselves and our welfare. For now. But take a trip to Africa and tell me if that crocodile bridge is still there. It isn't. It's gone. And so are the pygmies. I'm just sayin'.

Rock the Vote: "Stop Having Sex with People Who Oppose Obamacare"
I actually like this plan. Obama Zombies can't multiply if no one breeds with them.
Hopenhagen: Obama Reports for His Ritual Beating
Food for thought from Barry Rubin.
..."To put it bluntly, after decades of failing to be moved by ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-schooled children, the West has been galvanized into action by concern over polar bears."
..."It is like the effervescent popularity of a child who gives away all his toys and expects to gain the permanent gratitude of the other kids. More likely, of course, they won’t come back and express their love but rather will demand more and be quite angry if they don’t get it."
..."And so other countries can say to Obama: You want to know what we think? We think it's all your fault. Listen to us and do what we say or we'll hate you, criticize you, and perhaps attack you."
..."Never before in its history has an American government so proudly embraced being a pitiful, helpless giant. If the U.S. government doesn’t respect America how can it expect others to do so?"
Go ahead. Read it all.
Chinese Press Manhandle Gibbs
This is just hilarious. Watch as Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tries to get state run media in for Obama's speech. The Chinese aren't having it. Simply not having it. This is what happens when you send a pantywaste to do a man's job.
Iran Invades Iraq
Interesting. And what if they don't leave? What if, indeed?
Iranian forces took control of a southern Iraqi oil well on a disputed section of the border on Friday, US and Iraqi officials told AFP. "There has been no violence related to this incident and we trust this will be resolved through peaceful diplomacy between the governments of Iraq and Iran," a US military spokesman told AFP at Contingency Operating Base Adder, just outside the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah.
"The oil field is in disputed territory in between Iranian and Iraqi border forts," he said, adding that such incidents occur quite frequently. An official of the state-owned South Oil Co in the southeastern city of Amara, and west of the field, said: "An Iranian force arrived at the field early this morning (Friday). "It took control of Well 4 and raised the Iranian flag even though the well lies in Iraqi territory," the official added.
The field is about 500 metres (yards) from an Iranian border fort and about 1 kilometre from an Iraqi border fort, US Colonel Peter Newell said, adding that it falls on the Iraqi side of a border agreed between the two countries. There are five other similar fields that also fall into disputed territory, he said.
"What happens is, periodically, about every three or four months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go ... to fix something or do some maintenance. They'll paint it in Iraqi colours and throw an Iraqi flag up. "They'll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about three months ago and it will probably happen again." He added that the Iraqis are "very concerned about the Iranians pulling oil out of fields underneath Iraq."
Copenhagan Fail!
Poor lil' Hopey. Mother Gaia's last hope and he was as shaky as Katherine Hepburn on a Segway.
Just look at the reviews by his best friends:
Friends of the Earth said in a statement, "Obama has deeply disappointed not only those listening to his speech at the UN talks, he has disappointed the whole world."
Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela, described Obama's speech as "ridiculous" and the US's initial offer of a $10bn fund for poor countries in the draft text as "a joke".
The World Wildlife Fund said Obama had let down the international community by failing to commit to pushing for action in Congress: "The only way the world can be sure the US is standing behind its commitments is for the president to clearly state that climate change will be his next top legislative priority."
Poor fella. All this and you still have to go home and rub Chaka's feet tonight....

Obama Goes Ghetto: "Don't Think We're Not Keeping Score, Brother"
You knew it was just a matter of time. Obama keeps it real. Admissions of Pete DeFazio (Oregon Democorat):
DeFazio was one of only two Democrats to vote against those measures and the $700 billion bank bailout. (The other was Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.) a Blue Dog conservative.) Yet he’s also a pro-gun Democrat who has a B rating from the National Rifle Association. “I would have less of a voice and I would have less respect if I voted for things I didn’t believe in because of pressure from the leadership,” DeFazio told The Hill in an interview.
Obama himself has taken notice. “Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.Oh ying yang, do yo thang, gettin' hiya than a mahfuk.
Sickening
Slowly but surely a crime against American sports history proceeds unabated. Yankee Stadium, a site of so many great events in its glorious history, sadly marches to its death. I'd have to imagine even people who hate the Yankees must think this is horrible. I hate the Red Sox but I'd feel sick if Fenway were to be torn down.
The Almighty dollar takes another victim. For luxury suites and Hard Rock Cafe (and a friggin' butcher shop) the Yankees see fit to destroy their historic home. The House That Ruth Built! I'm wondering just how much of this country will be worth preserving in 50 years. I boycotted that new stadium last season. Probably do the same next year.
Yeah, I've brought this up before but I still can't believe it.
Never in my life....
...have I wanted to punch a person in the face so badly.
Two people actually.
I'm not a violent person, either.
This is disturbing on a level I can't even totally comprehend.
Drunk 4 Year Old Wanders Neighborhood, Dressed Like a Girl, Stealing Christmas Gifts
DJ...cue the Lee Greenwood...I'm Proud to be an American.
It's a Christmas trifecta. You may never, EVER, read a more bizarre story than this.
A 4-year-old boy, beer in hand, is accused of stealing Christmas presents from his neighbors. It's a strange story, but also a sad one.
April Wright is 21 years old and is going through a divorce with her husband who is in jail. She says she is not sure how her 4-year-old managed to get out of the house, open a beer, and steal the neighbors presents from under their tree. Now she's just glad he's okay and says she won't let it happen again.
The child, Hayden Wright, was found around 1:45 am Tuesday, wandering the streets of his neighborhood. In a police reports, officers said he was wearing a little girl's dress and drinking a beer. The police report says the child had to be taken to the hospital to be treated for alcohol consumption.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office report says Hayden rang the doorbell a few houses down and the neighbor answered, finding the child holding a partially consumeed 12-ounce beer. Wright said, "He got it out of my father's cooler in the back and how he got it open I don't understand because it was one of those tab beers." But it doesn't stop there.
The report said Hayden then snuck into a neighbor's house through an unlocked front door, and stole five wrapped Christmas gifts. One was a girl's brown dress which Hayden was wearing when police found him.Here's a video report:

Ali Blah Blah Went to Ground Zero Today
Got a few text messages from Ali Blah Blah today. Our man in Manhattan. He went down to ground zero to see for his own eyes where the new Muslim mosque is going to be constructed. He sent me this picture with the name of the landlord who is renting the space to the mosque.
And this picture showing the soon to be site of the mosque.
Finally, Ali sent me this picture of his friend Ahmed. The two were sharing a train home. As Ali put it, Ahmed had just passed gas and was pretending to be sleeping so the infidels couldn't implicate him in the crime.
Slavery Bigger Than Ever
More slaves today than in the 1800s. Africa both the main market and supply of the slaves. America not to blame, so nobody gives a rat's ass.
Joe Delaney: A Real American Hero
Don't know why, but I woke up this morning thinking about Joe Delaney. And it occurred to me, that many of you probably don't know his story. So I thought I'd share it.
Joe Alton Delaney was a football player who played two seasons in the National Football League. In his two seasons with the Chiefs, Delaney set four franchise records that would stand for over 20 years.He was a two-time All-American athlete for the Northwestern State Demons football team, as well as a track and field star. Delaney played two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, and was chosen as the AFC Rookie of the Year in 1981 by United Press International.
Delaney had a lifelong history of helping others, and once paid for the funeral of a former teacher whose family could not afford a proper service. Delaney, who was at the time living in nearby Ruston, Louisiana, went to Critter's Creeks, an amusement park at Chennault Park in Monroe, Louisiana, with friends on June 29, 1983 and had encouraged children that were swimming not to go far out in the pond. The amusement park has since been closed to the public. Delaney dived into a pond and tried to save three children who were screaming for help. The children were floundering in a water hole left by recent construction work. The water hole, which covered two acres and was 20 feet deep, was not intended to be a swimming pond but instead to be used to add aesthetics. Despite his inexperience in swimming, Delaney tried to rescue the children.
"Can you swim?" a little boy asked Joe. "I can't swim good but I've got to save those kids. If I don't come up, get somebody." Unfortunate for the rest of the world and the Kansas City Chiefs, those were the last words of Joe Delaney as he died while trying to save the kids. One of the boys was able to find his way to the shore. The two others and Delaney did not.
Three thousand people attended Delaney's burial and memorial service on July 4 which was held in Haughton High School's gymnasium. President Ronald Reagan honored Delaney with the Presidential Citizens Medal on July 15, and it was presented to Delaney's family by Vice President George H. W. Bush. Reagan's words were:“ He made the ultimate sacrifice by placing the lives of three children above regard for his own safety. By the supreme example of courage and compassion, this brilliantly gifted young man left a spiritual legacy for his fellow Americans."
