That was the decade that was....

Time, it seems, is full of misconception where people are concerned. Firstly, 1/1/10 is the start of a new decade. Anyone who thinks otherwise I'll be more than happy to welcome to the next decade when they get there a year later... But more than just being snarky about it, I can prove it.

Back around Christmas 1999 I was enjoying a Christmas Eve party with some family friends and was conversing with a nice young couple. I wished them well in the new Century and the husband chided me, telling me there was no year zero. He's a nice guy, well-educated and a creditable agent, like his father, with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. I gave him the opportunity to present his case.

I then asked him when he and his wife would have their first child. They smiled and reminded me about their seven-month old boy. I replied, "He's not one yet, so he doesn't exist.

That tattered relationship survived this particular conversation, but the point remains the same. We, as a people, have forgotten how to count. We forgot that fractions are elements of a greater whole. For a year to exist it must surely have started, but since it has not COMPLETED the full cycle it is NOT a year old at birth. Therefore, a seven-month old baby surely exists (unless of course you're baby-killing Liberal with a vacuum cleaner and an Obama bumper sticker....) and is well on his or her way to celebrating their FIRST birthday... or in other words a celebration of having lived one full year.

So when 1999 ended, the 20th century ended, because the 21st century had just been born and was well on its way toward it's first birthday (not a banner year, I'll grant you... but still important none-the-less...). I know it's splitting hairs and it's not really a major issue, however I dislike having to explain the very most basic elements of Temporal mechanics to lay-people. It's demoralizing to think we can't count properly.

But it's important to remember that we must maintain this information. If for no other reason than this...

"The Only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once."

See you in the next decade, my friends...

They don't believe in Christmas even though they had it already...

The economy is in the tank, joblessness is officially 10.2 percent but more likely in the range of 18% thanks to "creative accounting" from our transparent government.

So the natural response to deal with this problem is for president hussein to drag major business leaders, academics (?!!!!!???!!!!!!!!!) and others to a job summit that doesn't even have as it's goal the core concept of job creation.

Now let's assess the situation:

1) Healthcare absorption: No time to delay. This is absolutely CRITICAL that it happen now.

2) Afghanistan: Sure... let's take a few months and then throw some troops in, but also we get to tell our enemies when we will be letting them alone to go ahead and do their thing (if only the Dems would do this with the Business world we'd rejoice...).

3) Cash for Clunkers: The U.S. Government bravely bought a bunch of cars and trashed them. Hell, paying the Crips to steal all those cars would have been more of a stimulus because then they could at least strip them down and sell them for parts. But NO, our beloved president hussein insisted that the vehicles just be trashed outright.

4) TARP: The U.S. Gov't. bravely bought a bunch of toxic property assets... or did they? No one really knows. The program is overseen by a Czar, isn't it? Last I heard Czars don't report to anyone but hussein. And now that money is going to get used for other programs, as per Nancy "Dragon Mama" Pelosi.

5) The Economy: Well shucks... they actually SAID they need to solve the Healthcare problem so hussein can start to concentrate on the economy. In other words, the economy doesn't impact upon HIS lifestyle, so why the hell would he care about us? No... the economy is not one of those things that the people don't want, so it's not being rammed down our throats with gleeful abandon.

So the Democrats were given a crap load of money to spend randomly without any long-term benefits, so THEY'VE had their Christmas already...

Meanwhile we are left to sit there and figure out not just "Can I buy my kids a toy for Christmas" but "Can I meet my mortgage payment for Christmas".

Are you better off now than you were two years ago?

Is anyone?

Great Googly Moogly!!!! The Libs are DESPERATE!!!!!!

In another tragically hysterical and desperate bid for trying to show that they are in control, the liberals have tossed yet another CNN "Senior Political Analyst" out to see what she could do to make Republicans feel bad about themselves. This appeared online Wednesday October 7th in the evening and it's one of the best drop-dead funny pieces I've read in ages.....

What exactly does it take to become a "Senior Political Analyst" for CNN anyway? What is the criteria? Knee pads for orally pleasuring president hussein? And I'm not being sexist here... Ed Rollins is no better on this point. The slavish devotion to defending the potentially bruised ego of the country's biggest nightmare president since Jimmy Carter is surely a prime qualifier for the post. That and a near complete lack of historical perspective.

Borger has come to the conclusion in only a scant nine and a half months that Republicans aren't exactly eager to sign onto hussein's crazy political death ride for the US of A. The fact that she sees the razor's edge we are sliding down as something wondrous and so spectacular that she insists her beloved Fuhrer MAKE the Republicans agree with him on something is not exactly Germaine to the issue at hand... but it DOES help to color her naivety somewhat.

But enough hyperbole....

With astounding grace and acumen she sums up the Conservative's primary take on what SHOULD be done... cut taxes, put more money back in the pockets of the people, and have more jobs by eliminating the deficit. Then she goes and spoils it all by pointing out this is all untested fantasy material... a sort of socio-political Playboy Centerfold of Utopian and unreachable dreams... except that they are NOT.... or more technically, they WERE NOT.... until her beloved leader president hussein went and spent more money than Caligula on a particularly hedonistic and self-destructive bent...

She then makes the somewhat amusing point that Republicans are a bunch of name-callers.... tossing aside such hideous accolades as "socialist", environmentalist, and "dithering commander-in-chief". But she doesn't help her cause any by in the same breadth providing the very real and intractable justifications for these.

And then she has the balls to make the charge that Republicans are actually rebounding in popularity due to the persistent saber-rattling... as if this were a conccept never even considered by her beloved Reichmeister, president hussein. Hell, the Democrats practically invented "Lie, rinse, repeat.... lie, rinse, repeat..." as a way to get their points pounded into the world.

The only part of that we didn't pick up on was the lying.

And horrors, it's turning out to be a good thing for the Republicans! What shocking news! Especially when you consider that a few short months ago the Democrats and the yellow journalists were patronizingly "helping the Republicans" by telling us we should get rid of that loudmouth Rush Limbaugh. Yes... they really were concerned that we needed their help then.

Now, I think they are really concerned... but more because we DON'T need their help.

The GOP has adopted one of it's best tactics in years... one which is unassailably working and is frightening the hell out of the Dems... we have picked up on hussein's nom deplume for us as "The Party of No" and we have refused to play along with destructive, burdensome and unnecessary socialist programs which threaten the very fabric of our nation.

That means the Dems will have no legitimate.. or even potentially salient illegitimate means to blame Republicans for the failures that are inevitable in all of this. That makes the whole thing a Dem party.

And now that it's a Dem party, it's clear they are sweating buckets because even THEY know it won't work.

Health care... the wet dream of every socialist liberal in the Western world, will bankrupt the economy and as a typical government-run fiasco will rapidly go broke, taking down with it many other programs and side-businesses.

Or did we not learn lessons from:

Social Security
Medicare
Cash-For-Clunkers

To name but a few disasters.

So what does "Senior Political Analyst" Gloria Borger suggest to fix all of this?

FORCE the GOP to go along with the Dems.

And how exactly do you do that?

Start acting like Republicans.

I don't see that happening.

What I DO see as happening is a slate of angry Americans who have seen the true face of the Democrat party this summer.... the hideous visage and Mickey Mouse voice of creepy neo-human Barney Franke and the twins of terror, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid as they trashed fellow Americans and threatened and cajoled us... called us terrorists, racists and Nazis.

I see the 2010 election as one of an evolutionary step-forward for Americans....

2010: The year we make Comeback!

So enjoy the next 12 months Dems.... then it's house-cleaning time... and you can keep low-rated CNN in your pocket all you want... it's not going to help!

The planting of a seed of discontent....

Well.... where to begin... why did I drop off the face of the earth? A couple of reasons. This blogging is very draining work and sometimes VERY lonely. It doesn't exactly make me popular with my wife, who shares the core concerns, but believes I am too radical on the issues.

I love my wife dearly, and I needed to stop for a little while and just be her husband. And what a good time to choose to do so, as life has been VERY hectic the past two months. This past week alone my son got badly hurt in chorus class (a knee injury in chorus? WTF?????) our one-eyed cat started bleeding from the eye socket just as we finished medicating one of the others for a severe snot0production issue.... and my wife came home from work at lunchtime the other day to find emergency vehicles all around our house because of the man with the broken leg who had fallen off the scaffolding of our neighbor's chimney repair work... onto our driveway..... and then just because we had not had enough grief.... I pulled a muscle fairly severely while going to a tradeshow in Vegas. It was so bad the good folk at the Sands Expo had to take me to my booth in a wheelchair. I'm still hobbling pretty nastily as I write this in the T terminal of JFK Airport as part of my "Very long night" of trying to get home to Buffalo.

So you can see, I didn't stop caring, I re-charged.

And WOW!!!!! That's what I have to say.

America has seriously begun to step up to the plate and demonstrate what it is that makes us Americans. I am sooo impressively proud to know so many people out there care the way they do. Town Hall meetings designed to send the one message that thick-headed Dems and name-only Repubs could understand... namely that we're pissed and our numbers are growing, and the BS had better stop soon.

And then there's the Two million man march on DC last weekend.... man, I'm sorry I was not a part of that, although I had my hands pretty full at the time....

And the emergence of Glenn Beck as a loud and exceptionally vocal voice calling for action.... he MAY be a bit radicalized, but to be honest that's the kind of energy that we need right now.

This mobilization, as Rush pointed out (himself quoting other sources on the issue....) without a central charismatic figure is te PERFECT antithesis to president hussein. It is a statement of the power of the Conservative movement, and the incredible central truth of our movement that we DON'T need idols to lead us.... we make up our own minds.

Then there's former President Jimmy Carter, beloved by millions of foreigners for his unwavering conviction to suck energy and life from the United States... a man whose resume is pock-marked with the greatest failings of any presidency in the past fifty years (including LBJ...) who got trotted out to add fire to the liberal mantra that to oppose hussein is to be a racist.

You might as well ask for Hugo Chavez to side with you.... there's the same amount of love for country in that corner of the globe as you'll get from the peanut guy.

But what really blows my top with joy is the recent release of the Acorn undercover videos.

We are witness to the birth of the New Republicans... the people who make tsunamis in the Democrat ranks with just a few simple actions.... who refuse to be broken by the Grotesque Government that is president hussein's regime.

North Carolina Senator Joe Wilson (R) became a hero to the people with of all things only two words. Two words uttered at the right place, at the right time, and expressing the frustrtations and angers of millions of Americans.

Three words if you ask NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who in her own racist mind heard the word "Boy" included in the attack on hussein.

I feel so much less alone. I feel like a voice is emerging out of the chaos and it is not one person... it is a group mind... the True Republicans, the ones who refuse to be dictated to and refuse to pander to the special interests of the president. It's a voice you and I can and should join in on.

I am struck at the number of times people have had to apologize to hussein for minor infractions of courtesy. Bush never received these platitudes form people, nor did Reagan. Clinton was such a happy-go-lucky guy he was actually hard to offend.

But Obama is a VERY sensitive guy. He demands attention, and he demands leniency, and he demands that you accept not receiving leniency from him. He is growing ever more pissed off and he is in real danger of doing something big and rebellious to try to show us who the boss is.

I say we let him. It was a mistake to criticize the address to the students of America in advance, becuase then he had time to water it down to something innocuous, just to show he wasn't really gonna indoctrinate anybody. We should have let him do that EXACTLY as he planned.

We should let president hussein play by his own rules, and show him to the people for what he is. A man with deep-seated hatred for the US. A man who despises us.

On my red-eye flight from Vegas last night I was watching Greta Van Susteran on Fox News. She played a clip of hussein speaking about honoring a fallen soldier with the Congressional Medal of Honor. No doubt the man was very deserving of the award... our servicemen and women have been in combat for several years in an urelenting battle against evil, and they continue to this day to make us proud... but the telling of the president was in his choice of words.

He read off words such as honor and sacrifice and then proceeded to point out how Americans forget what those words mean, and how we use those weighty words carelessly. He then goes on to say how this particular soldier undertsood those words and demonstrated them with the ultimate sacrifice.

Was it really necessary to trash Americans as idiots who have no understaqnding of what our soldiers do in order to praise this man? For president hussein it was essential. It is his view of Americans that we do NOT know anything. That we do not have his level of intelligence, and we CAN be easily insulted so long as he wraps the words in praise for another.

Honestly, at this point he is no longer capable of insulting Americans. It is expected that he will seek the low road, and denigrate anything right and fair.

And now president hussein is learning the lesson the Japanese learned at the start of World War II.... he has awakened a sleeping Giant.

Time for Americans to start tearing at each other again... another bonus in the news....

The New York Times, ripe with the summer doldrums because the only thing left to report about in the country is the excesses and abuses of president hussein, have decided to go back to the well and start a good old fashioned feeding frenzy again.

In this piece found linked to Yahoo!.com the author points out that Andrew J. Hall is getting a $100 million dollar bonus. Now they could have been crass and written it out like so: $100,000,000.00 but for some strange reason they showed restraint.

The cons: He is getting this bonus from Citigroup whom he sub-contracts for, and they took $45 Billion in our money to stay afloat.

The pros: He was contractually liable for a fee relative to what he made for Citigroup, apparently a common practice, and he made Citigroup a meager $2,000,000,000.00 in profit. That's $2 Billion for those of you in the know. So his bonus is 1/20th or rather 5% of the total he made for Citigroup.

Now he's under pressure to not take the money, amid speculation that some of his dealings may (note: they do not say he DID...) have contributed to the financial troubles are country has seen. The article takes pains to say that while he's a nice guy for his sort he's also an example of "capitalism at its most unbridled" all the while acknowledging that it was his own efforts that helped contribute to the financial strength of Citigroup.

Apparently now Mr. Hall is seeking to separate himself from Citigroup, and hopefully he will take his talents to some other country and make some other business in some other part of the world significantly wealthier....

That'll show him!

Christ almighty, there are some really retarded people in positions of power in the US Government right now.

Among other things, if the terms of the contract Mr. Hall had with Citigroup were to be altered, Citigroup and the US Government had an obligation to tell him so BEFORE he made them all that money (Isn't Hall a taxpayer? What about Citigroup, don't they pay taxes?).

And then on top of that, if employees are agoing to get sacked for making their companies profitable, isn't that just plain un-American?

I could go on, but you get the idea.

Post-Racial Politics?

In a startlingly frightening AP article about the pending confirmation of Sonya Sotomayer to the Supreme Court the author Julie Hirschfield-Davis inserted the phrase "Post-Racial Politics" in an effort to paint president hussein as not a part of the hideous back-stabbing going on in DC.

The article is ostensibly a reporting piece on Senator Harry "Mr. Fair Play" Reid threatening Republicans with a backlash against them for acting like impressively polite Democrats by opposing Sotomayer. This is a little like a teacher yelling at her students for not parsing Pi to the last digit fast enough.

The reality of the piece however is far more sinister and telling... It reeks of racial politics so heightened that logical discourse is a hindrance to the flow and ebb of Government legislation.

The AP helpfully points out that while the GOP might be accused of assaulting a Hispanic and therefore be guilty of racial discrimination (gee.... all I ever heard were concerns about her qualifications and her mindset where legislative law is concerned... kind of the point of the Judicial Nomination hearings...) the Dems also risk a backlash if they appear to be pushing her for her race rather than her credentials.

Umm...

The Dems already blocked a Hispanic candidate of Bush's for the sole purpose of having the bragging rights to being the first to have a Hispanic judge on the Supreme Court. Forget the politics, it's all about who gets there first.

The disgust level of this is even further ratcheted up by the author's mention, as cited above, of the current "post-racial politics" position.

First off, who decided electing a mulatto made things post-racial? Second, who are the ones most concerned with race lately anyhow? The Dems cry racism if they don't get enough sprinkles on their mid-afternoon cupcakes, and prominent Black and Mulatto Americans have a hard time trying to justify perceived racial profiling in a case so CLEARLY elevated and created by a racially bigoted Black Man that even a Black Panther might be able to figure it out... (okay... that might be a bit of a stretch... but you get the idea...).

There is NOTHING post-racial in the country right now. The Black Community won't let the whole "mulatto president" thing go and the press is acting like eager little puppies trying desperately to please their masters to ensure that we know how enlightened we are and how lucky we are that color is not an issue, even as it is being screamed in our faces.

And all of this, my friends, is a smoke screen to distract us from the very real issue of socialized medicine.

Now stuff that in your pipe and smoke it!

We cried too, General Powell....

General Colin Powell was just interviewed again on a whole host of subjects by CNN.com and once again reveals that he is more of the flawed figure he first revealed himself to be last summer.

At first he talks about Professor Gates and he tries hard to paint a picture of Gates being the responsible party, but of course can't resist saying that the cops over-reacted. It's couched in more subtle language than president hussein used, but it's still there.

And then to add depth to the comment, the General goes on to say how he was once racially profiled at Reagan International Airport because no one believed he was the National Security Adviser to the president.

He claims it was because no one believed a black man could have been the NSA, but offers no proof.

So for a second time in recent weeks prominent black men have gotten out the word that failure to be recognized for their fame equals racism.

Racial profiling is not a funny thing. It can lead to all manner of terrible events. But the terrible crime of not being recognized for your fame is NOT racial profiling, it's more a matter of people being busy with their jobs and not paying too much attention to the news.

Which is also not a crime.

In just a few short weeks I will be going to a travelling seminar hosted by many prominent figures, among them Rudy Giuliani and General Powell. I'll resist the temptation to bring a bag of rotted tomatoes for Mr. Powell, but I no longer feel I have anything to gain from him.

He out and out admits in this interview that the reason... the ONLY reason... he wanted hussein to win the election was due to his skin color. Or to put it another way, because he racially profiled him.

He was so profoundly moved that a black man could get elected to the office of president he cried.

We on the other hand who love this country above all other considerations including skin color cried as well, but for completely different reasons.

What is so galling about Powell's remarks is that there was a time when I admired his work, his calmness and his ethics. I WANTED Colin Powell to run for president. I would have voted for him. He conveyed all the things that makes a man a man.

And I know when everything changed. The moment is palpable, and for a man of his stature was almost certainly a life-altering event. The day he stood at the podium of the United Nations and tried to gain international approval for the war in Iraq, and the entirety of the room laughed at him.

If you trace it, things were never the same after that. He became more quiet and subdued in the media, his politics were at odds with Bush's. Many post-Bush administration reports showed that he had become something of the outside influence to the inner circle due to his growing frustration over that moment.

And now he has lost the luster of what a lifetime of service to your country can bring to a man, and he has chosen petty racism over the safety of the country he so loved.

It was about race all along... Stoopid cops!!! (UPDATED)

Stoopid, stoopid Cambridge police officers!!!

What the hell were they thinking responding to a call of a man (black OR white...) breaking into the house of a Harvard Professor who was known to have been out of town?

And even worse, how egregious they must have been for not being particularly happy to find a belligerent man screaming racism while refusing to identify himself inside that house.

And then to top it all off they had the gall to have him arrested for disturbing the peace when he made a big deal about how he was a black man in America and upsetting the neighborhood.

And typical of life under the hussein regime, who does our commander-in-chief side with? The jackass goes off and calls the police stupid!

In every telling of the events by the media there is zero description of inappropriate behavior. However what DOES emerge is a picture of a black man with a chip on his shoulder the size of... well... Belgium... who is SUPPOSED to be a well-educated man, but can't have the presence of mind to cooperate with the police when they are trying to secure HIS property.

*** UPDATE*** As reported HERE president hussein once again speaks about how he could have said things differently, but refused to apologize for his words, instead trying to gloss over the whole thing by retardedly commending BOTH parties in the incident for being so upstanding about their behavior.

Apparently... and this is a leader of the free world, the highest elected official in the world, and the man to whom we are supposed to be attributing our noblest aspects from speaking ... in other words, the man who embodies what america is supposed to be all about.

And he believes refusing to cooperate with the police when simple obeyance of the law could have prevented ANY escalation of the incident characterizes Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. as one of "...two good people in a circumstance in which neither of them were able to resolve the incident in the way in which it should have been resolved.". You have to remember, this is the man who threw his grandmother under the bus when she became politically undesirable a year earlier. His understanding of character leaves a tremendous amount to be desired.

****END UPDATE ***

Was it about racism? Damn right it was!! It was about how the black man is eager to get revenge on the white man!

Now don't get me wrong, I am in complete agreement with the idea that racism is a real issue in America, and while I have no concern for hussein's skin color (my vitriol is for something far more important, his hatred of Americans...) he is at the epicenter of a fundamental shift in racial tensions of which this idiot Harvard Prof. is only a symptom.

As I have mentioned, I recently sat on Grand Jury and the larger percentage of cases I heard involved people of color. This is not to say that people of color are the only troublemakers, but the one thing that I walked away with was that the willingness to commit crimes specifically directed against other people was demonstrated with far greater alacrity from people of color, and that crimes that were more individual in nature (i.e, DWIs, and so forth...) tended to be toward Caucasians.

hussein made the specific point in his jackass statement that traditionally a great disparage exists in the number of arrests of blacks compared to whites. In my tiny little month-long window into my local community I heard stories of home invasions, gang activities, savage stabbings and beatings that have left people permanently disabled, shaken to the core, and fearful. The perpetrators were almost always black.

My point is that perhaps the stereotype of the black as criminal might be better served if, as Bill Cosby suggests, black people stop crying racism and start building up their lives and striving for better. The ONLY way to stop this cycle is for people to take individual responsibility for their actions and start to encourage the English language as a native tongue, as opposed to ghetto-speak, and for learning to be encouraged over the quick and easy thrill of scoring a crack-deal.

Unfortunately, in this hussein-led country, big government is who is supposed to solve everything, so we are being told to just lay therein our own filth and reach our hands up to the great big teat of government until it tires of our cries and feeds us.

Sorry, that's not America.

And every day, in every way, retard president hussein showed us who he is and what he is... particularly when he jumps on the "black victim" bandwagon and tells America that our law enforcement officers are stupid.

This kind of irresponsible and racist leadership shouldn't be tolerated in our world, but nowadays being a loyal citizen is the new "black".

Global Warming rages on, and the stupid keeps getting stupider....

Worried about the rise in ocean temperatures? Worried that the world is burning up and there won't be anything left to tax if we don't act now, and act fiercely to stem this tide of desolation?

Well then chew on THIS piece of stupidity from who else... that's right... Yahoo! Associated Press... their motto: If it's retarded we'll report it....

I caught this interesting news article about a middle eastern dust storm so immense it was photographed from space. Y'know, a compelling human interest story about something that is uncommon here in the states, but very common in the mideast.

But you have to go to the mid-way point of the story to get to the meat of the subject....

Yup, it turns out that global warming in the form of ocean temperatures rising, is being caused by (get this...) a lessening of dust storms and a lessening of volcanic eruptions.

I couldn't make this crap up if I tried.

So what AP is dutifully reporting is that we can save our planet by triggering more volcanoes and by flooding the atmosphere with tons of bacteria-filled (their thing, not mine...) dust and sand from the deserts.

Now my science may be lacking here, but I was under the impression volcanic eruptions introduce tons and tons of carbon into the atmosphere which was... I've been told... the problem.

Maybe it's because man has nothing to do with them that it's all okay, but you know, it gets very frustrating trying to understand these things.

So if we were to drive a Dodge Volcano to work, even though it was terrible for the ecology, we could go ahead and claim how we were helping the oceans stay cool.

The masterful Joe Biden on the state of things...

In this ABC News interview between George Stephanopolis and the highest-ranking known bona fide US-born political official Joe Biden opens up on his feelings about the resignation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Now let me be clear about this, I LIKE Joe Biden. I like that he's hopeless non-sensical and mind-bogglingly stupid. He's fun that way. Does that make me seem biased?

I kind of thought so.

But listen to this guy and tell me what you think. In one portion of the interview, he talks about how the hussein administration misread the economy, how 9.5% unemployment is completely and totally bad, how the administration is still complaining that they inherited this mess, and how the stimulus package is working just swell and the administration is doing a wonderful job managing the economy.

umm.....

And then at the end of the piece he goes on to discuss Sarah Palin, and George asks him point-blank, does Joe believe that Sarah was the target of a smear campaign? Naturally Joe says no, that's not the case. But then he goes on to say that he respects her and he has to take her at her word that there is a portion of personal element to her decision to step down.

huh?

Does he take her at her word or does he think she's a loon?

This is what I love about the man. He can be truly counted on to Dan-Quayle the place up and confuse things something fierce. His words string together in what might "sound" rational, but they link up in ways which make no meaningful sense.

So to sum up from his interview:

Economy - badly misread.
Unemployment - staggeringly high and greater than expected
Stimulus Package - not doing its job yet, but working wonderfully
Sarah Palin - paranoid but respected. She's a liar, and he respects her.

He's a joy to behold, isn't he?
