Interesting piece of history:

Compliments of PK….

In 1872 the Arabs invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.

In 1873 the British somewhat refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

John Kerry: It's the Voter's Fault

The Boston Herald reports on an interview it had with former Presidential candidate and Senator John Kerry.  What Kerry has to say can be summed up as blaming the voters for not understanding how the Democrats are making their lives better.
The horse faced Senator said....

"We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what's happening,"

Wait a second, didn't the voters understand the simple slogan "Hope". So then they were smart and now they are too stupid to understand? Voters wanted change, they were promised change and had delivered a product that while immature is tilting the government in a direction voters do not like. In his arrogance s..h..d Kerry does not seem to recognize that we are in this situation because people did understand a simple message and are now reacting because they know they were misled. Reaction to the last two years of legislation is on a higher plane of understanding than the set of rules applied and got us here.
I have to admit that ever since this man used his guards to cut in front of me an Logan International ticketing line, there is no amount of good that he can say or do that will change my opinion that HE is the one that does not understand.

Walter Williams on Racial Double Standards

Mr. Williams suggests that one reason that the press does not savage black politicians is a double standard. All politicians, nearly all anyway, make statements that are dumbfounding. I have done it all my life.
No doubt there is a double standard with the demarcation being black and white.
There is also the simple fact that liberal politicians are treated in a kinder gentler fashion simply because many of the editors, and reporters doing to writing are spiritually aligned with the Democratic politicians are trying to say. Intentional or not the effect is obvious, when the FOX tribe reports from a different mid set, the progressives are repulsed by behaviour they they embrace, favoritism by the majority of main stream press.
The educated conservatives in public have recognized this for years, men like Cronkite and Rather were in the Democratic end of the pool for years before men like Nixon created lists of enemies, which they were, and was crucified for it.
This is nothing new and probably will not change unless it becomes more profitable to convert.
Even then it's false at the core, like the RHINO politicians.

Primary Care

From DGJ…..

 

I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned sixty-something.)

 

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

 

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?

 

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

 

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?

 

'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

 

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

 

'No, I don't,' I said.

 

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'

 

'No,' I said...

 

He looked at me and said,.. 'Then, why do you even give a shit?

 

Thanks A Lot

Probably unnecessary but you have to appreciate the directness.

Election 2010: Georgia Governor

Aw, crap, this can't happen.
Obama is bad enough, Barnes is worse, an arrogant sob he is.
Barnes was proud of the way he changed the Georgia state flag, over the electorate's clear choice.
Living in his home town, if he gets elected again, Mableton will probably erect a bronze statue.
Imagine Bill Clinton, without the looks, a smarmy bastard that even the women don't like.
I would put up with two more years of David Scott to avoid Barnes as governor.
If that were an option.

MegaVote: GA 13th, 9/20/2010

My representative, David Scott, voted to grant 5 billion dollars to fund "energy efficient loans".  I think I know what that means, but what the title says don't really make sense. Money use has its own efficiencies, but a government promoting energy efficiency is likely to yield the opposite. I hope that someday,elected officials learn that efficiencies are learned by actions of persons seeking profit.  The process is financial evolution and happens by the failure and sucess of a an infinite number of transactions.  Read your Hayek.

What was that the McCain 2000 campaign called itself?
This symbolizes something more practical.

Now I see the blitz coming, some of the bill is now bcoming active.  There are advertisements on television now with Andy Griffith, talking about all the things we are going to get.  Yesterday on the evening news, ABC, there was a segment that talked about all of the great benefits that are going to be beginning now.  The reporter made no negative comments, at all, but when a citizen was asked questions, the doubt and irritation was clearly evident.  this is the plan, ease in the benefits first, then hit them with the cost.  Its like some damnable dihonest sales program.  Politicians are evil.

School Brings Student to Mosque

Found this first at Gotta Get Drunk First.  After mentioning to Dustin, he pointed out that it was all over the place.



The source author kerrcarto writes.....

So it is ok for a school to take a field trip to a Mosque and the male children are allowed to pray and the girls and their female chaperone are asked to watch from the back of the room. Then the kids are told how women are better off in Saudi Arabia than they are here in the United States.
Want some even better news?
According to this article this is a Wahhabi mosque, one of the most radical, intolerant religious teachings in Islam. The same form they practice in Saudi Arabia. Isn't that just peachy?

So the Muslims have a plan to expose as many young people as possible to the Islamic faith.  They with intention, diguise the offer as a chance to experience the wonder of the Islamic architecture. That much, every person understands, even if unsaid, most faiths have their proselytizers.  Attempting to convert people to any religion has to be done by example or deceit.  We all know of many recent examples of Muslims spreading their fath.  What I cannot fathom, is the apparent blindness of the school administration in bringing the children to this place with imposing some limits. Were they a party to imposition of faith or were they just stupid.  It's decisions like this that cause parents to emove their chiildren from public schools. Dumb assed administrations.

DSCC Goes After Crist

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has decided the openly oppose the independent candidacy of Florida Charlie Crist. It seems that things were coming to light that there are financial improprieties in is political past.
Big surprise, run in primary as a Republican, promise to honor the wishes of the voters, then change his mind because he thinks he has a good chance using his attractiveness to Democrats. The voters pegged him exactly right, he tried to look like a conservative and failed, now he has tried to look like a moderate and come up short with the Democrats. Perhaps the fact that he is still getting but kicked says everybody thinks he is a rat bastard.

Sex Pistols Neocon

First saw this in the National Review and then later in this Jeffery Goldberg post on the The Atlantic site.
Some musicians have canceled performances in Israel, not Johnny Rotten.
The former lead singer, John Joseph Lydon, of the punk band Sex Pistols said....

"I really resent the presumption that I'm going there to play to right-wing Nazi jews. If Elvis-fucking-Costello wants to pull out of a gig in Israel because he's suddenly got this compassion for Palestinians, then good on him. But I have absolutely one rule, right? Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won't understand how anyone can have a problem with how they're treated."

I think that the characterization of sudden compassion is appropriate. If this action were true to Costello's core, the performances never would have been scheduled. No we all know that when some people started whispering in his ear that Israel is not cool he waffled out. Not surprising for a progressive lemming incapable of recognizing where the evil is in the middle east.
Not withstanding the poor combination of words "right-wing Nazi jews" speaks directly to my feelings about the middle east. Over there the ones with the bombs strapped to their bodies killing innocents are the same ones always crying foul.
Good for you Johnny Rotten.

Bonds of Matrimony

Michael and Larry got married in California.

They couldn't afford a honeymoon so they go back to Michael's Mom and Dad's house in Corner Brook for their first married night together.

 

In the morning, Johnny, Michael's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast.

As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mom if Michael and Larry are up yet.

She replies, 'No'.

Johnny asks, 'Do you know what I think?'

His mom replies, 'I don't want to hear what you think!  Just go to school.'

 

Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, 'Are Michael and Larry up yet?'

She replies, 'No.'

Johnny says, 'Do you know what I think?'

His mom replies, 'Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school '

 

After school, Johnny comes home and asks again,

'Are Michael and Larry up yet?'

His mom says, 'No.'

He asks, 'Do you know what I think?'

His mom replies, 'OK, now tell me what you think.'

Pope Assasination Plot Foiled

The United Kingdom site Telegraph.co.uk reports that five Islamic terrorists have been arrested, found to have been plotting the assassination of Pope Benedict XVI.
These men, per executive preference, would be described in the United States and radical extremists. Thank you Duncan Gardham for calling a spade a spade.
Vatican spokesman  Lombardi described the affect the arrest has had.

"The Pope is calm and happy and we go on with this trip with courage and joy,"

and

"The Pope is enjoying a wonderful visit, warmly welcomed wherever he goes."

Warmly everywhere except the middle east where they are still fighting the Crusades, with bombs.
Isn't it encouraging, the Vatican's peacefulness?  They are continuing about their business.

The Greatest Power in the Middle East

A former chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards was strutting stuff earlier today. He seems to think that Iran is at the top of the heap.

Just like the Afghan nation expelled England and the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, so too will it also expel the occupiers. The Muslim nation of Afghanistan has learned the lesson of resistance from Iranian fighters.  Iran is the greatest power in the region and the Americans can’t ignore this power in regional affairs. They must recognize this power and deal with it. The enemies have no other choice but to capitulate in the face of the political regime and demands of the Iranian nation.

To that I say, only if Israel lets them. If things get ominous enough, Israel should ignore the restraint that the United States impresses.

Iran, a country led by a famous kidnapper, the pride of the third world.

Jimuh Blames Teduh

Some twenty years ago I saw Jimmy Carter giver the commencement speech at Emory, Gorbachev was in the group of dignitaries. Ten years before that saw him speak at Georgia Tech. Both times he could not shut up about what an evil man he thought Ronald Reagan was.
That Carter believes Kennedy was the obstacle to us not having universal health care is amusing. Both men were well known to be strong supporters of universal health care.  For his part I believe President Carter wanted health care for altruistic reasons. Kennedy I presume was more pragmatic, he was all about building a democratic power base. Health care is a perfect pet project for the democrats, it builds power through via cash channeling and creates a permanent dependent constituency.  To boot, the democrats will have a permanent flag to wave, much like Social Security and Civil Rights, every time the issue of restraint is broached, their trot out the string of unfortunate that would be harmed by blow out of proportion adjustment.
It's all hyperbole.
The comments on the following AJC article are the best part, Jackie had this to say about that....

Bitter, senile, petty, childish, no better words can describe Jimmy Carter who is a legend in his own mind and was a miserable failure as a president. The only things he is good at are denigrating the United States and defending tin pot dictators while kissing their backsides. Go back to Plains and suck on a peanut.

Suck on a peanut, BAWWWHAAAA!!.

Ground Zero Zero

Have said this before, Michael Moore's work in the movie Roger and Me made me a fan.  The stylized badgering fit my Yankee upbringing.  When he won the chance at a television series, I was committed to being a viewer, for about a week and a half.  Since then, the badgering has become more like the ranting of  a deranged psychopath. There is a hatred in this man so deep, I can only guess that some other psychopath in his family got screwed by the man during Michael's childhood. 
That or he didn't get enough government cheese.

Michael had this to say about Ground Zero.

"If the mosque isn't built, this is no longer America.  I am opposed to the building of the mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. I want it built on Ground Zero."

For this I would normally Photoshop a picture of Michael Moore and center it in another picture of a toilet bowl.  The quote and it pissed me off so much I don't want to spend the time d.king around with pictures. 
For these asinine comments I bestow my recurring Davis Cup Award, named for the classically inappropriate Rob V. Davis, to Michael Moore.  Others call such an award "Asshole of the Week" and "AHOTW".  Rob recently became a friend on Facebook, he does not know about the award's title. He wouldn't mind, I hope.

Government Stifles Criticism of Obamacare

Micheal Barone has nothing positive to say about Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius handling of insurance companies.
They told us to support health care reform, we should trust that the truth would become evident as the problem is unfurled. Here we see evidence of a pattern already seen in Massachusetts, government trying to strong arm the insurance companies to absorbing the higher costs that they imposed.
It is just like progressives to put a business in their cross hairs, regulate it to death and then complain that the service is no longer available. These progressives will put insurance companies out of business and be proud of it.
Read your Atlas Shrugged, they are like a horde of locusts.

DOJ Undermines Pentagon, Allows Wisconsin To Ignore Military Voting Protections

More b.s from the Department of Justice.
Undermining the voting rights of deployed military citizens.
The Democrat's public position with regards to troops is "we support the men, not the mission". But their actions belie the truth, they support neither the men nor the mission. Democrats are perfectly comfortable limiting the access of troops to voting, we saw in the lawsuits filed during the Bush-Gore recounts, in the Bush-Kerry and the McCain-Obama elections. Enlisted vote is conservative leaning, these politicians are in a manner offensive to the intent of the Constitution, seeking to nullify the votes of the men and women you most deserve the right.

Your Bid, Mr. Abbas - Article - National Review Online

For a change Mr. Krauthammer isn't reaming the Obama administration.
The most erudite of today's Conservative editorialists, is generally is spot on with his criticism of Obama's leadership failings.
Here he gives the meek credit for framing peace talks with a requirement that the Palestinians have never let enter the discussion.
Palestinian leader Abbas recently was quoted...

“We won’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state.”

Krauthammer and the diplomats have it right, if you set up walls like that, we are wasting our time trying to talk.
The Palestinians are like the autistic children of the middle east, banging their heads against brick walls and making everyone around them miserable. Abbas and his followers are doomed to a life of poverty. Much of it unnecessary.

Fanny and Alexander

Foreign films are not really my thing, but this time the critics were right. This has got to be one of the most artistic films I have ever watched.

Fanny and Alexander if the semi-autobiographical movie written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. Released in 1982. This is the story of two children, as titled, of father Oscar and mother Emilie in the early 1900's of Sweden. Oscar, the beloved owner of a theater dies and the mother Emilie marries a local bishop. The bishop and his family are minimalists in a Puritan like deity. The children having lived in the artistically rich theatrical world of their father and grandmother don't fit very well. The are immediate conflicts between Alexander and the bishop. Eventually the the mother Emilie escapes with the children and the bishop dies in a terrible accidental fire. The children return to the luxurious home of their grandmother the beautiful farmer actress.

 

The cast was unknown to me though I felt the parts played by the grandmother and mother Emilie were excellent, not to mention the work of Bertil Guve who played Alexander. In the cast as Rosa played the actress Lena Olin still active today in Hollywood.

 

In 1984 this movie won 4 Oscars.

• Best Art Direction-Set Decoration
• Best Cinematography
• Best Costume Design
• Best Foreign Language Film

and was nominated for 2 more awards

• Best Director
• Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen

Very strong work by Bergman, take to time to watch you will not be disappointed.

Lawyers' Party

Compliments of PJMS. 

These are the type of people that belittle and punish the productive. 

They want to be in control as a ruling class.

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party.  
Barack Obama is a lawyer. 
Michelle Obama is a lawyer. 
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer.  
Bill Clinton is a lawyer. 
John Edwards is a lawyer.  
Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer. 

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. 

Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:  

Harry Reid is a lawyer.  
Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.    
  
The Republican Party is different.

President Bush was a businessman.  
Vice President Cheney was a businessman. 
The leaders of the Republican Revolution:  Newt Gingrich was a history professor.  Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.  House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.   The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon. 

Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer?  Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago.  Bear in mind that Ford was appointed, not elected.

The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers. 

The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers and bankrolled by lawyers.  Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich. 

The Lawyers' Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America .  And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers' Party, grow. 

Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail?  Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation (and creating jobs). 

This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers.  Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people.  Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, 
they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side. 

Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine.  But it is an awful way to govern a great nation.  When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming.  Some Americans become "adverse parties" of our very government.  We are not all litigants in some vast social class-action suit.  We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers. 

Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives.

America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked.  When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.  When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of politics by other means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the power of lawyers in America is too great.  When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing. 

We cannot expect the Lawyers' Party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America    Most Americans know that a republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789.  Most Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders.  Most Americans intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy. 

Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business.  Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of 
lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work.  Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse. 

The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of the world's lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as "spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you" and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the 
Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high! 

62% Say No Matter How Bad Things Are, Congress Can Make Them Worse

The title says it all, it cracks me up that the pollsters think this is even a valid hypothesis to research.
Within the body includes the comment..

This level of skepticism is shared by a majority of just about every partisan and demographic group, including 53% of Democrats whose party currently controls both houses of Congress.

Rasmussen is by the left considered a right leaning pollster.
