Visual Perfection

You go back and look at presidents that we elected prior to TV, and presidents we elected after TV, and you will notice a huge difference. Do you think a bloated president could win? We had plenty of fat-guy presidents. Do you think one could get elected today? There's not a prayer! ....The campaign is Mitt Romney versus Hillary Clinton in our quest in this country for visual perfection, hmm?

Fast Food Nation

I just finished watching one of the worst movies ever (talk about wasting an afternoon off from work). Greg Kinnear, Patricia Arquette, Bruce Willis is in it among others: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460792/maindetails#comment.

I won't go into details, not worth the trouble. The funniest part of the movie, no, not the cow-killing scene at the end....Avril Lavine plays a college student.

RonPaul Duped!

Oh this is hilarious. First, explain to me why Ron Paul supporters are buying a blimp, and why isn't he stopping them? Second, why weren't they suspicious when they actually received $400,000 in pledges FROM RONPAUL SUPPORTERS!!! Alarm bells should have been going off all over, but RonPaul people everywhere seem to be caught up in the Perot populist fantasy.

Ron Paul Blimp Project Pleads for Funds
December 06, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

A plea has gone up on a website dedicated to the rental of a blimp to promote the presidential hopes of limited-government candidate Ron Paul (R-Tex). The site can be seen here: RonPaulBlimp.comThe statement reads:"We must receive $200,000 in sponsorships by midnight on Friday for the blimp to be in Boston by December 15th! Please sponsor the Ron Paul Blimp Tour now!"As of the morning of December 6th, the site stated it had received $119,775 in donations plus $5,500 in wire transfer purchases. While $125,000 is fairly substantial, at least another $75,000 must be raised if the private project is to meet its goals.This is a far cry from the $400,000 plus that had supposedly been pledged for the blimp, much of which has not yet been collected and is thought now to be questionable at best. There are even Internet reports that the project come under sustained attack by those wishing to inflate the totals with an eye toward damaging its credibility. Some of the e-mails addresses reveal derogatory sentiments, according to sources, but it was presumed several days ago that the majority of pledges were sound. LINK

I didn't know RonPaul tomfoolery was such a widespread web pasttime....

Kyl Is Number 2

Longtime Arizona Republicans will attest to this little secret.... Jon Kyl is not only the better senator from the State of Arizona, but he may be the best in the country. Despite his latest close-shave election, Kyl has an admirable record of service and adherence to conservative ideals. His name is always mentioned when high-level positions are open, yet he remains serving in the national shadow of McCain. Its nice to see him getting some recognition and added responsibility. Today he was elected Minority Whip, the #2 spot in the Republican Senate leadership. Its worth mentioning that AZ can now boast one of the most distinguished and powerful Senate delegations in the country. LINK

Rush Gushes Mitt

Rush is in the midst of gushing all over this morning's Mitt Romney "I Am Mormon Hear Me Roar" speech. In Rush's words, "Romney is taking the long-view" of American history - who we are, how we got here; and the vital role religion played in that journey. The speech seems to be a success, but time will tell if it achieves iconic status and the turning point in Romney's campaign.

All of this makes me think of a line from The Departed ...

Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.

Could it happen?

Romney to make speech on Mormonhood

I dont think this blog has officially endorsed any candidate (and believe me there have been numerous requests) but this is going to be big and spawn a weeklong discussion on the tenants of Mormonism (Hitchens is going to have a field day, of course he might have gotten alot of it out of his system last week).

Politico has the details and you can read it here but the teaser is below.

"Mitt Romney will take to the Bush Library in College Station, Texas, on Thursday to give a long-anticipated, much-debated speech about his Mormon faith and the role of religion in American public life"

Look What i missed today

I was so busy working, not a chance to look away at my emails and bam




Some guy trys to blow up Hillary Clinton, It is a bit suspicious coming right after all the hatin she got for that fag plant at the Republican debate.
Actually that wasn't important, because 1, he didn't succeed and 2, it was probably not that reall
Anyways on a much sadder not EVIL KNIEVEL DIED today. Sad

Finally there would be a way to avoid all that crap on Sunday mornings

Religious Broadcasters Decry "A La Carte" Cable Plan

Religious broadcasters have renewed their opposition to efforts by FCC Chairman Kevin Martin to require cable TV providers to offer programming on an "a la carte" basis. In a statement, the Faith and Family Broadcasting Coalition (FFBC), which lobbies on behalf of religious broadcasters, praised commission members who balked at efforts by Martin to strengthen the ability of the FCC to regulate cable TV under a controversial rule that would kick in when cable TV is available to 70 percent of U.S. households and when 70 percent of those households have subscribed to cable systems. Martin's changes, the FFBC said, "would have had a devastating effect on religious broadcasters." It quoted Colby May, director of the American Center for Law and Justice's Washington office as saying, "A per-channel charge would dramatically limit, if not kill, the availability of religious-based programming on cable."

I hope they booed after he said he was gay

The general then stood up and delivered what amounted to a two-minute speech, stopping only when the audience of 1,500 booed.

"American men and women in the military are professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians. For 42 years, I wore the army uniform on active duty, in the Reserve, and also for the state of California. I revealed I was a gay man after I retired," the general said.

Check out his cute bracelet. That must be for all the soldiers he saved from behind or down in a hole.

From My Cold Dead Hand... A Machete?

I am sure you have heard the story of the NFL player shot in his home on Monday night, and how he passed away this morning. As he struggled for his life, some interesting details began to leak out. It turns out that Sean Taylor's home had been broken into a few weeks before - nothing much was taken, but the intruder left a knife in the bedroom. On the night of the shooting, he and his baby's mama heard an intruder in the house. They awoke, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps near the bed for protection. He approached the bedroom door and said something, only to be blasted right through the bedroom door... If you wonder (like I did) about why he had a machete in his bedroom, well.... It turns out that Mr. Taylor had an incident a few years back over some stolen ATVs and he "brandished" an AK-47. So to sum up, somebody attempts to rob this man, and he protects himself and his property by pulling a weapon. I know the name "AK-47" scares people, but there are tens of thousands of legal AK-47 owners across the nation.

Of course, federal prosecutors throw a shit-fit and after two years, all they can do is mandate that he not be allowed to possess a firearm. That leads to him standing in his own bedroom with what amounts to a limp dick, attempting to defend himself against an assuredly illegal weapon. This is scary, and I don't doubt that he being young black and rich attributed to his being denied the right to defend himself. This story gets me angry, and should be cause for some reflection over the tragedies this year that could have been prevented by a simple, honest man with a well-kept sidearm. The one shining example remains the Trolley Square shooting in Salt Lake... Perhaps the moral of this story is that gun-owners everywhere should take great care of their right to bear arms - you never know when your baby's mama's life depends on it.

First a Communist now a Blasphemer too

I miss my time spent down there

Well not really, but I remember when LULA (yes that is his real name even though I thought it was a fake, I was wrong this time). I know that his fellow pinko buddy up in Venezuela is happy to hear that God is Brazilian and praying to the statue in Rio (pic above) has produce blessings beyond belief. No need to fear because this guy and this country is as afraid of technological advancement as I am of loud noises. They are more likely to use it as sauce for their rice and beans instead of putting in cars. But this is worrisome that evil powers that exist in our world do have access to more oil.

anyways I know Tai-Pan already sent me the link but here it is anyways

"Since “The Simpsons” is on hold due to the Writers Guild strike, executive producer and multihyphenate James L. Brooks is keeping busy with political copywriting — he’s working behind the scenes creating print ads for a bill sponsored by Rep. Patrick J.

SOUTH KOREA TO GIVE 1 MILLION IPHONES TO HELP POVERTY STRICKEN NEIGHBOR NORTH KOREA

Today marks a historic event in history. It has been 15 years since the leaders of North Korea and South Korea have sat down to discuss anything. Today it has been reported that since the leader of North Korea Kim Jung-Il loves him some ipod, the South Koreans have decided to donate 1 million iphones to help the starving Northerners.


update: The Americans, who insisted on being present for the meeting, suggested that a free movie be included on all phones. What movie you ask?
TEAM AMERICA!!!


Sorry the rest of the story should go to Tai-Pan as I know very little about North and South Korean relations.

Ron Paul Campaign Sign Abuse Spotted in Phoenix

Vandals suspected of having Chinese Communist sympathies.

Phoenix, AZ

On the evening of November 10, at approximately 8:30 pm, two vandals were spotted destroying a "Ron Paul You Tube" sign at the Northwest Corner of 48th Street and Ray Roads in Phoenix, AZ. The suspects are described as a 6' white male approximately 350 lbs, and a female 5'3" in height, of indeterminate origin. Witnesses report that the couple uprooted the sign from the ground and proceeded to smash the sign on the sidewalk in a "wood-chopping" manner. The suspects then took the sign to the nearby Target parking lot, and attempted to set the sign on fire. When their attempts failed, the male unzipped his pants to urinate on the sign, but the female persuaded him not to. The female then took the sign and threw it in a nearby dumpster.

The perpetrators of this shocking, blatant assault on First Amendment rights were earlier spotted at Native New Yorker, Best Buy, RA Sushi, Barnes & Noble and Target. Subsequent investigation has revealed that the couple's libations at RA were said to be of the "asian variety" and were said to have had "one right after the other". This information, combined with the couple's purchase of the movie "Ratatouille" (French Socialism) at "Target" (red color motif/purveyor of Red Chinese merchandise) has led investigators to believe the couple to, at the very least, have Far East Sino-Communist sympathies and possibly be serving as deep cover agents loyal to a foreign power.

This story is posted as a call to vigilance for all Paul supporters to keep watch and not let this intimidation to continue. For those of you in the Phoenix area, the suspects are believed to reside in the Ahwatukee area and enjoy frequenting local restaurants and drinking establishments and are said to "like to throw 'em back". The female was spotted wearing a gray ASU Sun Devil T-shirt and blue jeans, while the male was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans with tan "Croc" sandals. If sighted, the Ron Paul soldiers should avoid physical confrontation as the suspects are known to be heavily armed and most certainly trained in edge weapons and hand to hand combat. Officials request that you make your displeasure for their act of vandalism and censorship known by spitting, throwing eggs or "giving them the finger". Stand Tall - Stand Proud ... Don't let Ron down.

Big Steaming Pile...

We've spent 20 years eating your shit and saying, "Mmm, delicious! What a cook!" - no more! (Phil Hartman - "Greedy")

If you are the kind of person to just open up and swallow all of the crap surrounding climate politics, then its best you close your eyes and click away. Despite countless articles, experts and documentaries decrying the hoax of global warming, everyone is "going green" or "carbon neutral" - two terms that have as much validity as "alien anal-probes". The facts are this: temperatures have risen almost immeasurably in the past twenty years, and those changes pale in comparison to those experienced 100 or 150 years ago. Those are the facts. I understand that for every "naysayer" produced, the ELF can parrot just as many "reputable" scientists to support the THEORY. What really makes me angry is the hero-worship of Algore and the millions of dollars worth of time and effort put into a hoax.

One of my favorite books on this subject is State of Emergency by Michael Crichton. Yeah, yeah I know what you are saying, its fiction - but to discount it on those grounds means you are foolish and haven't read any of his stuff. Check it out. One of the ideas in the book is that global warming hysteria is cruel to mankind by denying cheap energy and foodstuffs to the people that can really benefit from it - poor Africans (just kidding). Hopefully you understand what I mean. I ran across 2 little stories today that you won't hear on CNN tonight. Tell me what you think. Oh yeah - the photo above was taken in El Centro, CA. Hippies, explain...

Both are from NewsBusters and the full stories are linked below the intros...

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in [sic] allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.

It doesn't get madder than this. Swaziland is in the grip of a famine and receiving emergency food aid. Forty per cent of its people are facing acute food shortages. So what has the government decided to export? Biofuel made from one of its staple crops, cassava. The government has allocated several thousand hectares of farmland to ethanol production in the district of Lavumisa, which happens to be the place worst hit by drought. It would surely be quicker and more humane to refine the Swazi people and put them in our tanks.

Beltway Politics

So I am sitting in Federal/State Constitutional Law class discussing the Federal right of preemption of state laws, and Prof. McGoldrick digressed into one of his rants, this time concerning the Fed regulation for automobile safety, particularly the automatic seatbelts that were once mandated that all cars would have. His discussion ended the class with the following anecdote...

Apparently, during the 80's he owned a VW Rabbit that had this automatic seat belt, and it was in this car that he had to drive Ed Meese (then Attorney General to Reagan) around. He said that he would usually warn people that the belt would attack them when they closed the door, but he chose not to with Ed. So when Ed got in, it caught the AG by the arm and forced it into his neck and while struggling to get his arm out he exclaimed "What the hell?" McGoldrick then claims that he replied, "That's your federal regulators in action... It's an object lesson."

He is renowned for being openly sexist and racist, but has been teaching for 30 years and as one student put it "...don't bother complaining about him... he is beyond tenure."

He is deeply tied into national legal networks and most of his stories include being rebuked for making inappropriate comments to Supreme Court Justices. I will include those as they come up.

House Republicans Embarrass Dems with My Favorite Political Move: "If you don't shut up, I might actually give you what you want."

So during Kucinich's proposal to Impeach VP Dick Cheney, which was anticipated to fall flat on its face and give the Dems the ability to appeal to Daily Kos/Rosie/Code Pink voters, Congressman Shadegg (R-AZ, and should have been our Minority Leader) decided to give Dems exactly what they wanted and prompted Republicans to cross the aisle and force the proposal to a vote.

The result would have been Dems across the nation having to make a decision of whether they were going to play idle-threats forever or were they serious about seeing impeachment proceedings. The move caused Dems to scramble in order to bury the Impeachment proposal as quickly as possible and in the end the whole proposal was sent to committee where it will never see the light of day. Brilliant...

I dont know why I love this move so much, everytime I see it... it gives me goosebumps. You got to give it to Shadegg, he called their bluff and we can probably guarantee a slowdown on legislation appealing to only the extreme left for a little while at least.

Now, lets force their hand on taxing the rich by allowing them to submit a bill and we will up the anty to a tax of 70% on everyone with an estate of 1 million or more. How many votes do you think that would get?

Ron Paul Raises 4.2 Million in 24 Hour Donation Drive, Topping His Previous One Day Record of a Couple Million

MSNBC is running this as their front page story. I wonder if they are afraid of Denial of Service attacks if they don't.

For some reason, I have the feeling that there is some Enron type accounting going on, and I would wait for those checks clear before I put alot of stock into this story.

However, I must give my shout out to Paul and his minions. They are certainly mobilized and are in a lot of ways a model example of how our two party system works. Having dabbled in Libertarianism myself at one point, it is interesting to see how a former 3rd party presidential candidate that never actually registered on the political radar back in the 80's, has reformed his strategy and signed on to the Republican party and has actually been a fairly effective congressman at limiting spending by voting No on everything for over a decade.

Now he runs as a Republican presidential candidate and is actually invited to debates and claims the headline story on such major news outlets as MSNBC (even though nobody reads it).

Ron Paul should be the model for all Libertarians that there is more to gain by being a Republican and trying to sway the party closer to your ideals, than living the lie of 3rd party viability.

AnnC. interview (Because she is usually right)

Question:

Hillary Clinton seems to be trying to paint herself as a girl power feminist role model, someone that other women should vote for because she represents them as women. What do you think about that?

AnnC:

It hasn't helped John Edwards.
