If the word “slut” has any meaning, it certainly includes a woman who publicly proclaims that she cannot afford the amount of contraception she uses. The “prostitute” part comes in when she then attempts to arrange for that payment to be made by others, whether involved or not.

Nobody on the right made this an issue, and nobody on the right even thought that statements like those made by this woman had any place in a hearing on the separation of powers. Which is what it was, until Pelosi blew it up with this circus stunt to deflect attention from the President’s tyrannic power grab.  To be clear, Ms. Fluke’s remarks were staged, a scripted appearance with a handful of Democrats and filmed by a compliant media to … Continue reading →

Obama to Iran and Israel: ‘As President of the United States, I Don’t Bluff’

via Obama to Iran and Israel: 'As President of the United States, I Don't Bluff' – Jeffrey Goldberg – International – The Atlantic.

Of course you don’t.

Bluffing requires competence, whereas this President is barely qualified to read the diktats handed to him by his Politburo.

Briefly, I’ll note that the Obama Presidency is the best thing to happen for China since, well, the Clinton Presidency.
Under President Obama:

• Pakistan has accepted Chinese promises of protection against America while we have bases in Pakistan.
• Brazil has rejected a paid-for “agreement” to develop oil resources off the coast of South America–they let the new leases to China.
• Canada (fricking Canada!) has announced that they will build a mountain pipeline to get oil to Chinese ships in British Columbia because America will not build a pipeline over flat ground to the world’s foremost cluster of refineries.

This compares favorably (if you’re Chinese) to the Clinton administration’s mere missile guidance technology transfer to the Reds.

The CIO is the guy who can say “Screw this–next year we’re moving to (from) Macintosh .”

If that’s outside of your power, you’re not the CIO.

CNN has suspended Roland Martin in a move that I hope blows up in their pinched, disapproving faces, the shrews.  I’m quoting more than I normally would because I think that the actual “offensive” tweets are being under-reported in order to menace his image with reports of awful things, without the facts.

“Roland Martin’s tweets were regrettable and offensive,” CNN said in a statement. “Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.”

Those comments, published on his personal Twitter feed, concerned a two Super Bowl ads, including an H&M spot showcasing a new David Beckham underwear line.

Just looking into my crystal ball here.  Sooner or later, the Marxists of the Obama administration are going to have to address the “Death Panel” aspect of ObamaCare.  We already see the body of the beast, in the 15-member Independent Panel Advisory Board (IPAB), which is supposed to rule on which medications and treatments are cost-effective for various patient conditions.  Unseen so far is the spirit, the animating argument that the IPAB will have to make in order to push granny off the wagon.

As they are shoehorning their baby-killing habit into every nook and cranny of our society under the rubric of “fairness”, I predict that the much-discussed “end of life counseling” talking point will morph into a supposedly grass-roots “death with dignity”, Kevorkian style of argument.

I’ve said for a while that the GOP has been at war with the Tea Party, and that we have few options as a result.  Here’s my update:

The GOP is using Romney and Paul to permanently defeat the Tea Party.  The Romney campaign and the Paul campaign have apparently reached an accommodation which gains Paul and his kooks a seat at the convention, and which all but guarantees a primary win for Romney.  Santorum’s continuing candidacy is icing on the cake, but I am confident he is not part of this deal.

The real threat of this is that the Paul deal is a long-term weapon.  By perpetuating … Continue reading →

I have been unable to post for about a week, which has been incredibly frustrating. I have had to do open heart massage on this thing, rebuilding tables and manually scuffing up config files. So far, so good, but it’s time to stop using plugins developed by do-gooders for fleeting causes. I think that is what added blank lines to my config files in sloppy automated edits. I had a corrupted wp-otions table too, but I believe that was a consequence of the config and functions php files not working correctly.

I don’t know how long former Senator Rick Santorum will hold out in the Republican primary race, but he has had his peak and will not recover.  He may do well here and there, but he is already out of money.  Much of his recent surge was a by-product of Newt’s spending on Romney ads.  Santorum’s Florida options have been described elsewhere as either spending what’s left or accepting failure.

Pundits like Hugh Hewitt have no doubt realized that Newt’s sustained rise in polling is not a fluke and not about to turn around.  It’s why he and his sort have been so stunningly petty in recent days. Mistaking recent swings for meaningful reversals is the gambler’s mistake–the opposite of the investment mindset. Of course, when the GOP … Continue reading →

This is not a recovery.

Initial jobless claims unexpectedly jumped by 24,000 last week to 399,000 as more workers lost their jobs, the Labor Department said Thursday. At the same time, the economy continues to lose workers.

via Unprecedented, Tepid Recovery Under Obama Begs Question: Where Did All The Workers Go? – Investors.com.

A recovery is marked by a surge in workforce, employment, productivity, and purchasing power.  A recovery is not a meek return to wobbling stability, but a furious boom with catching up to do.   The media is covering this up.  They know that they can explain the difference once a week, while trumpeting the “recovery” one hundred times per day (about once each fifteen-minute headline rotation), and they’ve covered their bases.

Notice that nobody … Continue reading →
