Well, the Lefties and the Lame Stream Media have their panties all in a wad

because some Repub dumbs dumbs said some nasties and used some nasties about Obamie in a meeting.



I mean I thought the Obamie minions on CNN and MSNBC were going to pee all over themselves with fake outrage.

I say dumbs dumbs because they also left a copy for the evil empire to see. Shades of cigars and blue dresses!

I guess all this means we shouldn't be calling Pelolsi "Lyin Nancy" because she lied about not knowing about waterboarding?

The Demos shouldn't have called Nixon "Tricky Dick?"

I shouldn't call Obamie the Bower Obamie The Bower because he never met a Muslim King he wouldn't bow down to?

There were no cartoons of Bush as "Bushape" and "Bushilter?"

Demos shouldn't have called Dewey "That man on top of the wedding cake?"

LBJ shouldn't have run those ads (talk about scaring people!) of atomic bombs going off?

I mean really dear Lefties. As the Clintonista's told us, "Politics is a blood sport." If you can't stand the heat leave the kitchen! You know you gotta play hurt!

And most of all, man up!

Uh sorry, I realize you can't do that.

Wow

I have posted this before but I'm gonna do it again because I'm a technology nut and Aspen is one of those places that you never want to land at in daylight because when you see what's around you it raises the hairs on your neck the next time you do it at night and/or in snow.

Keep your eyes on that "hill" to the right as the pilot turns final.

Rodney King day!

Can't we all just get a long?


1991 – An amateur video captures the beating of Rodney King by Los Angeles police officers AFTER he’d led them on a 100 MPH car chase because he didn’t want to get a DUI which would have vacated his parole for his prior robbery conviction.


Got the above from MostlyCajun as a "Today in History snippet."

And not only had Rodney led them on a very dangerous 100 mph car chase, he wouldn't follow orders and kept getting up after being told to lay down. In my world that is resisting arrest.

The police were charged by the state and tried but acquitted. I flew into LAX during the early evening of the day the police were acquitted. The resulting riots were unbelievable. The fires and smoke were visible for miles and my UAL flight used a "ground fire avoidance" approach to do just that, avoid ground fire from the rioters.

The police were later retried by the Feds for "violation of Rodney's civil rights." Of course they were convicted in a clear violation of our double jeopardy laws. I think this was Clinton's DOJ so Obamie isn't the only crook we have had in charge.

BTW, this was the same jury pool that let O.J. Simpson get away with murder.

I don't know where King is now. He has had numerous problems since then and I read somewhere he had wound up back in jail.

We have consensus


The Institute of Physics, which represents 36,000 physicists across Britain and the world, has told a Commons inquiry into Climategate that the controversial emails at the centre of the storm represent "prima facie evidence of determined and co-ordinated refusals to comply with honourable scientific traditions".

In short, the IoP has called into question the integrity of the entire field of climate change.

The Commons science and technology committee is interviewing key climate scientists and global warming sceptics. The standard of the interrogation on the first day was tame and the protagonists merely restated their arguments.



In the absence of actual recorded temperatures, scientists have used 'proxy data' – for example, tree rings – to determine average global temperatures over the past 1,000 years. However, in the final few decades of the 20th century, the proxy data has been jettisoned in favour of temperatures recorded on modern instruments. The IoP is critical of this method:

"The [Climategate] emails reveal doubts as to the reliability of some of the reconstructions," the IoP states. "For example, the apparent suppression, in graphics widely used by the IPCC [the United Nations climate panel], of proxy results for recent decades that do not agree with contemporary instrumental temperature measurements."

The IoP also suggests the scope of the Common inquiry should be broadened to include not only the CRU, but also the entire field of climate science.

"Most of the e-mails were exchanged with researchers in a number of other leading institutions involved in the formulation of the IPCC's conclusions on climate change," the submission reads. "In so far as those scientists were complicit in the alleged scientific malpractices, there is [a] need for a wider inquiry into the integrity of the scientific process in this field."

I really don't know what else to say. They have been caught lying. Pure. Flat. And Simple.

And they should be read out of the scientific community and never allowed back in.

What if?


I’m reading “Warlord,” Carlo D’Este’s biography of Churchill from birth to 1945.

Fascinating book and it brings out the “What if…..?” in me.

Little known fact. There were over 180,000 English, French, and other troops in Russia in 1918 protecting various ports and such. Think what would have happened if the West had intervened on the side of the White Army?

Can you say 50,000,000 or so would not have been killed over the next 50 years?

Then we have the Germans in 1936 taking back the Rhineland as the French sat and watched. All they had to do was push back and the Germans would have left and WWII probably wouldn’t have happened. There’s 15 million or so.

When the Communist Chinese was about to take over the mainland our State Department declared them Agrarian Reformers. If we had supported the Chinese, how many would have lived? 20 million?

Or more? Certainly North Vietnam would not have attacked the South. 15,000,000?

Now, have we learned our lesson?

Nope. Iran keeps working on its nukes and we keep hoping.

Problem is, you can’t pet a snake.

And hope is between hell and horror in the dictionary.

Commentator's Comment Award for 3-1-10


I know it is the first of the month but this comment by smileyface has set a standard for dumbness that may carry it through the rest of the year.

Note the bigotry, the self righteousness, the sheer ignorance.


First Baptists Set Fire To East Texas Churches

posted at 3/1/2010 7:08 AM CST

Texans like to promote ignorance. Their Texas state school board is in the process of rewriting their public schools history books to reflect the majority of the school board'sviews on christian fundamentalism and promote the Republican Party.

Great statesmen such as Newt Gengrich will take center stage. Any mention of the invisible gods in writings before the USA was established will have prominence. The US Constitution will take a back seat.

Christian Fundamentalists are often mentioned as the Christian Taliban. They are more dangerous to this country than any known terrorist organization.

But it's not only Texans. All across this country the Fundies are constantly making inroads into all government agencies with the aim of controlling society with total disregard of the Constitution and disregarding the history of governments controlled by fundamentalist religions.

So if anyone wants to see more violence, more unnecessary wars more disruption of our public schools, the dumbing down of our future generations, just keep voting for and supporting the Fundamentalists.
