What the Heck is it With This Guy?

terribly early in the morning on Tuesday, the 22nd of December 2009 by Katie

From Lucianne.com

The President thinks about our country and salutes us

Seriously, how many times does he flip people the bird?  How childish can he be?  Is that finger broken or something?

Click here for video of him flipping the bird to Hillary Clinton.

Click here for video of him flipping the bird when talking about McCain.

We are being ruled by a group of people who feel nothing but contempt for us.  2010 sounds like a long, way away.

what would it take?

in the late evening on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Gypsy

Figuring Harry Reid has sunk lower than physically even a roach could manage.. what would it take for Reid to keep his job, well heck any job at this point?

This guy just does not care, but for some obsessed reason he feels the need to push through every ridiculous bill he can, before he receives the official kick in the butt. Oh now this wrong but what am I seeing is some Indian at the front door saying “thank you don’t come ‘again”.. oh right because they are on a mission with China to take over the US. Honestly though, could they be worse then what is currently infesting the White House?

Brainstorming with my hubby, here are some of the thoughts we bounced back & forth of what could be the only way Harry Reid will be able to keep his job. Here is one of our combined ideas..

  • God himself would have to arrive on earth, in his (South Park inspired) Platypus form, and anoint Reid as his chosen one.
  • And, his opponent would have to be stuttering, murderer, pedophile who kicks kittens and beats dogs.
  • With a 3rd opponent Abdul Aziz Mohammed bin Laden err Joe Smith, a terrorist err an explosives expert err truck driver, from Iran err Wisconsin, who in his free time supports abortion, burns flags, and drives a taxi.

What could you conjure up? I am sure there a million and one possibilities/scenarios.. please share!

Pirates! Man Your Women!

No surprise here..

at around evening time on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Gypsy

During the campaign and the initial days of the “great” Obama, the pedestal was too high and too top heavy (due to Obama’s enormous head).. oh how the mighty are not even falling but crashing.. I am stunned he did not break bones from this mighty fall!

Note: I am not celebrating the failure of a President of the US, I am simply not shocked this joke has fallen. I am sickened he was voted into office, and wish there was so way to correct this horrible error.

Question.. HOW, can such a health care abomination be able to come so far, with such disapproval of the bill & the President who promoted it?  How are the people of the US, not pinning down their senators and beating them with a stick!? How can such a thing be passed, how can this be allowed, how can it be just? What the heck happened to our country?

Today’s update show the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. It comes as the Senate is preparing to pass health care reform legislation initiated by the President and opposed by most voters. That latest Rasmussen Reports tracking, released earlier today, shows that 41% support the health care legislation and 55% are opposed.

Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove. See recent demographic highlights from the tracking poll.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

at around evening time on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Gypsy

Now, say that five times fast.. ok, how about once?.

What is the longest word in the dictionary?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Although there are many specialized words longer than this, this 45-letter mouthful is the longest word listed in a general English dictionary. It means “a pneumoconiosis caused by the inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust, a miner’s lung disease.” Now, all we need is someone to pronounce it for us.

Birthers, Right-Wing Militias, Aryan Groups

in the late afternoon on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Gypsy

This is simply priceless. You surely will find this to be simply beyond belief, as you watch a senator resort to name calling, directed at those who oppose the Health Care bill.

This senator, feels those who are against the health care bill are against Obama.. he thinks that is the sole reason for anyone who opposes this Un-Constitutional bill. He states how “they” are desperate to break this President. Wow.

So what does he call those who oppose this bill? Are you ready for this one? “Birthers, fanatics, running around in right wing militias & Aryan support groups”. Note, he is speaking to the (what the polls reflect to be) 56% of American who oppose this bill. He is speaking to the majority of Americans!

So are the folks of Rhode Island embarrassed this idiot represents their state? I know I would be! I am ashamed I ever considered living there, and once, a long time ago I nearly did.

Consistency

in the early morning on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

If you run a story like this:

Sixty Headless Skeletons — 3,000 Years Old — Discovered in Pacific Ocean Archipelago Vanuatu

ScienceDaily (Dec. 21, 2009) — When a team of archaeologists began excavating an old coral reef in Vanuatu in 2008 and 2009, they soon discovered it had served as a cemetery in ancient times. So far, 71 buried individuals have been recorded, giving new information on the islands’ inhabitants and their funeral rites.

Relatives did not treat their dead gently. Besides being headless, some of them had had their arms and legs broken, in order to fit into the coral reef cavities. Ravn suggests they may have been left to rot first, and buried later as skeletons.

Don’t run a picture like this:

A reader would just assume that the archaeologists are simply… blind.

Surprising commercial

terribly early in the morning on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Katie

Yesterday, I was watching TV with my oldest daughter.  She is still in the single digits, as far as age.  And, she loves to watch the cake making shows.  The ones that make the fabulously decorated cakes.  And, I let her, as long as she is with me, and I have my hand on the remote (sometimes the language or situations are questionable – yes, even something as innocent as cake baking has these problems).

As I was saying, we were watching the cakes being made, when a commercial comes on (yawn, yet another one).  Fortunately, my daughter had left the room. 

The commercial started with a woman, obviously waking up from a beer goggles evening.  Crumpled bed, after sex hair.  And she has the “Oh my God” moment.  One wonders if she would even recognize last night’s partner.

But, she is relieved to remember her Plan B pill.  The one she has in her drawer for such emergencies.

My jaw dropped.  Have we really sunk so low, that even the “Plan B” bill (also known as the Abortion Pill) has an advertisement? 

The commercial does assure women that this is not an abortion pill.  That it simply prevents pregnancy (basically the birth control pill for after the fact).

Gee, that makes me feel so much better about the commercial…. (please note my heavy sarcasm).

Sharpening the Pitchfork

terribly early in the morning on Monday, the 21st of December 2009 by Katie

Really, is there any hope for this country?  We have a government that seems to ignore the will of the people.  Treating us more like disobedient children, instead of the bosses that we truly are.  Remember, we have the right to vote the bums out.  Too bad we don’t use this right more often.

But, there seems to be such a wide gulf of opinions.  And things that I have learned were “evil”, seem to be embraced.  Take communism, socialism, etc.  In school, I learned that such beliefs were bad.  As bad as Nazis.  Now, these beliefs seem to be loved and followed.  What gives?

When did we become so namby pamby that we lost the will to struggle, achieve, succeed on our own?  When did we start believing the the government is our parent, there to coddle us, and protect us from the bumps?  (missing the truth that the government will be our enslaver)

Frankly, I want the bumps.  Each bump is a learning experience.  One that makes us smarter, better, stronger (well at least if we are intelligent enough to learn from it).

Which brings me to my pitchfork.  Last night, a 60-40 vote occurred which pushes the Obamacare program closer to the finish line.

In the normal word, bribes, threats, blackmail are all illegal.  But, in the Senate and the House, they seem to be proudly acclaimed.  The mafiosi would be right at home in our government.

LA gets $300 mil.  Nebraska gets federally funded Medicaid.  Another district gets $100 mil to a hospital.  Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut all get similar payoffs or bribes.  (click here for detailed list on Michelle Malkin’s site)

Every vote bought with your hard earned easily wasted tax dollars.  Something is really wrong with a system that steals your money, and then uses it to buy a vote for a program that you strongly oppose.

Or, using your money for something that you are morally opposed to.  Such as abortion.  Oh, I realize that Nelson held out for the “states can opt out” line (yes, Nelson, we also realize that your vote can be bought for about $100 mil).  But, it is assumed that your state is “in”, until it actually opts out.  And, I live in Libland, so what the likelihood of that?

Or, maybe I’m looking at this wrong.  Maybe, instead of being angry that both of my idiot Senators voted for this crap, I should be mad that they didn’t hold out for more money…..  (If my Senators are going to be whores, I at least want them to be expensive ones…)

Just kidding.  What is wrong, is wrong….

Someone Stop Them before another Holiday approaches!

in the early evening on Sunday, the 20th of December 2009 by Gypsy

Another Holiday push by Reid.. with Thanksgiving, I wonder if he held the turkey just out of reach.. and forced people to agree with him. So surely now it was the cookies, and gifts?

The upside.. they did cut allot of the crazy “fat” from it.. but enough remains to make us all ill.

There are two points that I found most amusing… 

Most Americans would be required to purchase insurance, with federal subsidies available to help defray the cost for lower and middle income individuals and families.

The above is from near the beginning of the article.. only to end with the following.

The bill also taxes high-cost insurance plans as part of a plan to put downward pressure on health care use.

Huh? So they are requiring people to have health care, but they are taxing health care to limit health care use? Wow..

Dems secure 60th Senate vote for health care

QOTD

in the early evening on Sunday, the 20th of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

Totalitarianism doesn’t need armies. It only needs to control a couple of things – the media, and the ability to dispense privilege to some, and to withhold it from others. Of course, a weak and divided people helps.

Propaganda Outlets

in the early morning on Sunday, the 20th of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

I was slightly involved on a forum I go to occasionally in a climate change discussion.  The pro-AGW folks swamped the thread with made up data, even if they were too stupid to realize it. 

They’d endlessly quote realclimate.org, while saying other sites like wattsupwiththat.com are owned by oil companies.. etc.  The worst thing is that these folks sound intelligent, as they have their talking points down. 

When the charge is "the raw data that everything else comes from, all the scientific papers, all, the analysis, is forged, made up, massaged to fit predetermined conclusions, bupkis, garbage…" you can’t fight back by quoting downstream data and analysis.  But, you also can’t change their mind, since this is religion now, so I kind of soured on the whole forum for a while.

Ahh, the wisdom of the masses.

Instead, the band members turned to their friends in the media and to the blogosphere, creating a website called RealClimate.org."The idea is that we working climate scientists should have a place where we can mount a rapid response to supposedly ‘bombshell’ papers that are doing the rounds" in aid of "combating dis-information," one email explained, referring to criticisms of the hockey stick and anything else suggesting that temperatures today were not the hottest in recorded time. One person in the nine-member Realclimate.orgteam — U.K. scientist and Green Party activist William Connolley — would take on particularly crucial duties. Connolley took control of all things climate in the most used information source the world has ever known -Wikipedia. Starting in February 2003, just when opposition to the claims of the band members were beginning to gel, Connolley set to work on the Wikipedia site. He rewrote Wikipedia’s articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the urban heat island, on climate models, on global cooling. On Feb. 14, he began to erase the Little Ice Age; on Aug. 11, the Medieval Warm Period. In October, he turned his attention to the hockey stick graph. He rewrote articles on the politics of global warming and on the scientists who were skeptical of the band. Richard Lindzen and Fred Singer, two of the world’s most distinguished climate scientists, were among his early targets, followed by others that the band especially hated, such as Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, authorities on the Medieval Warm Period.

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.

If this isn’t just more proof of "those that control the information control the minds" I don’t know what is.

The Reality Solution

in the early morning on Saturday, the 19th of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

One of my favorite web comics has the solution to the "reality fame" craze going on.

The web comic is "Least I Could Do"… and this is the best idea I’ve seen yet.  And they’re right, the media makes up stuff all the time.  So why not this too?

Might Be Better To Keep The Car

mid-afternoon on Friday, the 18th of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

2005 CHRYSLER 300C (oh yeah, its got a hemi)- SAVE MY MARRIAGE for only $13,000!
5.7L V8 Hemi
Automatic Transmission
about 89,000 miles
Dark Blue Exterior
Gray leather interior
Heated Seats
Sunroof
6 disc in dash CD-changer 

HELP SAVE MY MARRIAGE!!! I recently talked my wife into buying this car and I am now paying the price. I LOVE it, but she hates it because she is a borderline Nazi (not really, but I feel that way). Since buying it, she has had a bit of buyers remorse, even though its my car. She recently told me its her or the car and after much deliberation, sadly, it will be cheaper to get rid of the car. This car had one owner before me and is in great shape. It retails for about $16000, so get it now. I have priced this to sell because I am tired of hearing the screaching, angry noises constantly coming from my wife. Buy my car and and you will forever be my hero!

The Party of HELL-NO!

around lunchtime on Friday, the 18th of December 2009 by Gypsy

So much negativity is applied when the answer is no.. but no is not always negative. It is a stand, and a stand that needs to be made as the dim-ocrats are pushing plans to destroy our country. 

The following is an excellent item from Michelle Malkin’s site. I am so thrilled to see the GOP finally standing up again, or at least making an attempt…

On the Senate floor a few minutes ago, GOP Sen. Tom Coburn gave a rousing defense of the “Party of No.”

“We’re accused of being the party of no,” he said. But “no is a wonderful word. When your child is misbehaving, you say no. When someone’s stealing liberty, you say no…Saying no at the right time saves lives. Saying no at the right time saves money…Saying no at the right time saves liberty.”

Coburn went on to refute empty Democrat attacks on Republicans for not proposing health care alternatives.

As I’ve pointed out before, there are plenty:

Here is Sen. Judd Gregg’s Coverage, Prevention and Reform plan.

And here is Sen. Jim Demint’s Health Care Freedom Plan.

And here is Sen. Bob Bennett’s Healthy Americans Act.

And here is the Patients’ Choice Act of Sens. Coburn and Burr and Reps. Ryan and Nunes.

Sen. Dick “In the Dark” Durbin responded to Coburn with predictable Bush-bashing and by blasting “flinty-eyed, styptic-hearted Republicans.”

With so much fiscal hemorrhaging going on in Washington, the Mother of All Styptic Pens is exactly what we need right now.

Proud to be a member of the Party of HELL NO!

Michelle Malkin »

Commercial: What’s the Point?

mid-afternoon on Thursday, the 17th of December 2009 by Gypsy

Ok I have a “What’s the point?” question about a commercial.

Here is my example commercial.. advertisement for “slimming jeans”.. on a model who is what a size 6 at the far end? (translation for men: that is typically a woman’s size small or extra small).

So, what is the point?? Seriously show a woman in large or bigger if you are advertising “slimming jeans”.. since what on earth does a stick need to look slimmer for?

Santa Tracking: NORAD a week before Christmas Eve.

mid-afternoon on Thursday, the 17th of December 2009 by Gypsy

Here is a moment of joy.. Merry Christmas…

Two generals in charge of defending the nation’s airspace cleared a seat at their table Thursday morning for Santa Claus himself.

But before their annual “mission briefing” could begin, 4-year-old Madison Loucks seized the floor with an urgent announcement.

“I want a camera!” she cried, as if heralding a national emergency.

This year, about 20 children of military personnel were invited to join commanders from the North American Aerospace Defense Command at Peterson Air Force Base as they briefed Santa on airspace preparations for his global Christmas Eve flight.

The kids squirmed with mouths agape while Air Force Maj. Jim Collins — by day, an F-16 fighter pilot — mulled the details of Santa’s “gift-to-child ratio” and concerns about “chimney facilities.”

The 15-minute slideshow also featured a weather briefing and detailed review of Santa’s flight path. Army Lt. Gen. Steven Blum and Lt. Gen. J.M. Duval of the Canadian Forces kept straight-faced throughout, even as Santa was asked whether they, too, were on the “nice list” this year.

Turns out it’s a moot question.

“Even a naughty general gets presents,” Santa bellowed.

NORAD – formerly housed in subterranean quarters in Cheyenne Mountain – has been “monitoring” Santa’s Christmas Eve flight since 1958, the year The Gazette mistakenly printed the command center’s phone number in an advertisement that beckoned children to a local appearance by Santa.

A quick-thinking colonel played along when the phone lines began lighting up, starting a tradition that continues today with several hundred volunteers answering calls and e-mails from children from around the world.

Overheard

mid-morning on Thursday, the 17th of December 2009 by Capt Jake Fortune

"Some folks believe that God decided to let the devil have control of the earth. They believe that is why so many terrible things happen. I always thought, if that is true, then that is why God gave us dogs. Having a good dog at your side evens things out a bit in that situation.."

Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain... The best things in life are beyond money; their price is agony and sweat and devotion... and the price demanded for the most precious of all things in life is life itself -- ultimate cost for perfect value.
