I don't think so, but get ready for The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes. Leave it to Hollywood to milk anything that's remotely successful for all its worth, as opposed to coming up with an actual original idea. In this case, its even worse than that. This is not only a rip-off of the first movie, already the subject of a reboot a mere six years ago, but this sequel is based as much on Paranormal Activity, a more recent successful horror film.
The whole premise is stupid to begin with. A young no-account murders his entire family and is sent to prison, whereupon a new family moves in the old house a few years later. The place proves to be haunted, whereupon it is eventually ascertained that the horrific poltergeist activity is the result of the house having been constructed over an ancient Indian burial ground. The restless spirits want revenge for whatever killed them, and so they take it out on the family and, as fate would have it, on the previous family, whose murderous oldest son was influenced by the other-worldly spirits of the dead.
Only it all turned out to be a big scam. The book by the author, who was the head of the family portrayed in the film, in fact perpetrated a hoax, and not a very good one at that. Not only was there never an Indian burial ground, but come to find out the Indian tribe in question never lived in the vicinity.
As if that were not bad enough, the movie all but ignored the fact that the original residents of the property, the DeFeo family, had connections to the Genovese crime family. Ronald DeFeo, the drug addled maniac who murdered his entire family, was the grand-nephew of Peter DeFeo, a Genovese caporegime. Ronald in fact initially alleged that his family was murdered by a hit man in the employ of the mobster, whom he claimed to fear.
In reality, Ronald murdered his father following a dispute, with some evidence suggesting his sister Dawn was a co-conspirator, though he claims to have murdered her after she took it on herself to murder the younger siblings, which he denies having wanted to do, and which he claims angered him. There were two other conspirators, one of whom is now dead, the other one who is now in Witness Protection, although it is unclear as to whether this is because of this case or something else.
It looks as though Ronald hoped to collect the insurance money and use his uncle as a fall guy, but it didn't work out. The police (some of whom might have been on the Genovese payroll to begin with and might have even been a direct associate of Peter DeFeo) saw through the lies due to repeated inconsistencies. Ronald DeFeo, now sixty years old, is still in prison where he will probably and should remain for the rest of his life.
But none of this is any more than an interesting side story in the book, and to all intents and purposes all but ignored in the films.
There are two ways of approaching this story. In point of fact, there is a documentary of the story which started filming last year, which should be interesting, while a fictional film based on the actual facts of the case might also be good, if done right.
For that matter, a film with the supernatural elements would be justified on the grounds of artistic license, but it should be woven around the actual true history of events. The fact that it would depart from the cannon of the original book and film is irrelevant, seeing as how it was all based on a corrupted version of historical events to begin with.
Hollywood is supposed to thrive on creativity, or so you would think, but the reality is, the bottom line business-end barely tolerates creativity. Films like this, like so many others, is a sure sign that their bread and butter is more aptly described as fluff.
Granted, if this film is done as good as can be expected on a technical level, It might take courage for some poor souls to sit all the way through it. But it takes a pure coward to make a film like this one.

Head Of The IMF And French Presidential Candidate Arrested In New York For Sexual Assault
His name is Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and he was arrested in New York City for sexual assault, attempted rape, and unlawful imprisonment of a 32 year old female housekeeping employee of the Sofitel Hotel, where Straus-Kahn was lodging at the time.
According to the official NYPD police report he emerged naked from his room and chased the female employee down the hallway. According to his attorneys, he will plead Not Guilty.
Of course, his supporters are already claiming that he was set up. After all, prior to this he was most often touted as the most likely potential candidate to defeat Nicolas Sarkozy in the latter's re-election bid as President of France. He is also listed in The Jerusalem Post as one of the world's 50 most influential Jews, coming in at number 6, ahead even of Michael Bloomberg and David Axelrod. Something tells me his ranking in that regard is going to drop like a rock, probably faster and lower than his standing in the French presidential polls.
Here is his Wikipedia entry and, well well well, what do you know, he is a member of the Socialist Party of France.
As appalling as this story is, what I find most disturbing is the idea of a socialist in charge of the International Monetary Fund. To my way of thinking, that would be tantamount to making Al Capone the CEO of Brinks Security.
Yeah, this guy as President of France. There's not just one joke there, that's a whole Book of French Jokes, Volumes 1, 2, & 3.

Tucson Elementary School Book Teaches Latino Children To Hate Anglos, Advocates Violent Overthrow Of The US Government And Capitalism
UPDATE-A commenter just informed me that the video I had originally posted, of the Tucson School Board meeting at which sections from an anti-American school book were read aloud, had been removed from YouTube. I then learned this was done at the behest of The Three Sonorans, a pro-immigrant group which flagged the video on the grounds of copyright infringement. Having found and read their site, Tucson Citizen, their complaint at the video's content seems to be that it is taken out of context. They are complaining about the recent firing of teachers involved in an ethnic studies curriculum that has been controversial in the Tucson area. They are especially opposed to what they call the "TEApublican" member of the school board, interestingly enough a Democrat named Mark Stegman, who they claim stepped outside the bounds of parliamentary procedure in calling witnesses that represented his point of view, which the Sonorans like to paint, in typical fashion, as "anti-immigrant".
I've been around the tracks enough to know that what they call "anti-immigrant" is probably more accurately described as "anti-leftist", and more to the point, "pro-American". To avoid confusion, I have posted their own nearly identical video in place of the original, now removed one.
As recorded in the video below, a concerned citizen from the Tucson area brought the schoolbook to the attention of the Tucson Board of Education, where at a meeting she read aloud several of the offending words and phrases that promotes the philosophy of Aztlan, teaching violent overthrow of the US government and the destruction of capitalism while blaming the Anglo for the problems of Latinos, including poverty and the drug problem. There were also obscenities present in the book, including the Latino word for "fucking".
In a moment of unintentional hilarity, one of the school board members objected to the repetition of the obscenities on the grounds of the presence at the meeting of some children. He was quickly reminded that this was being read from a schoolbook which was read to and by children in the Tucson public school system, for instructional purposes.
Of course, since any and all schoolbooks issued to children of a school system usually have to meet the approval of the School Board to begin with, one can not help but wonder whether the member's objection was not so much that the words from the schoolbook might be heard by the children, but by the parents present at the meeting.
EPILOGUE-Below is the originally posted video, which you can tell has now been removed by the Sonorans. They claim copyright infringement. I think they just don't want you to see the video posted from the perspective of an opposing viewpoint, which I have no doubt is the correct viewpoint. They would prefer that, if you see it at all, you see it under the aegis of their self-serving attempt at damage control. These people would probably also tell you Santa Ana was a progressive, peace-loving man who just wanted what was best for all of his people, until those pesky, racist white gringo Americans invaded and stole their land. I think you can safely take their perspective with a heavy dose of epsom salts.

I Am Now Officially A Republican
It's been too long coming, but while taking care of some business matters yesterday, I took the time to change my registration. Unfortunately, too late to be able to vote in Kentucky's gubernatorial primary this May, but that's all right. I feel like a heavy weight has been taken off my shoulders.
I was a registered Democrat for a long time. I used to be a somewhat liberal Democrat. But there was always that seed of discontent. It started out with a resentment of Democrats hypocrisy when it came to free-speech issues, the group-think, the political correctness, the corruption that spilled over from time to time into the public consciousness.
But the more I started looking into what Democrats really stand for, in relation to the Constitution especially, the more discontent I felt. I started to look at everything objectively, as opposed to the rose-colored glasses served up by the party elites with the aid of a complicit media. The more I strengthened my position on a variety of issues I had always been at odds with Democrats over, such as gun control and the death penalty, crime and the justice system in general, as well as matters of national security and defense, the more I found myself questioning their stand on other issues. On all but perhaps a relative handful of issues, I found myself agreeing more and more with the Republican position, and seeing the Democratic position for what it is.
This is not to say I'm happy with the Republican Party. My late conversion to the rank-and-file of the GOP yesterday was not accompanied by a celebration. It was more like a mixture of death and rebirth.
But at least I can look at the GOP and say they do try to represent close to the original intent of the founding fathers, flawed though they might be in some respects. Had it not been for the emergence of the Tea Party as a factor in national politics, I might have been content to remain a registered Democrat, to be blunt. While I have come to realize that the best Democrat is not quite as acceptable as even the worse Republican, that in itself was not enough to win my loyalty. It was the Tea Party that has given me hope that the GOP can be reformed, and dragged kicking and screaming to be the party it should be, one that champions liberty, individual and property rights, and promotes small but efficient government that is kept in check, and serves the people and the national interest, as opposed to regulating and controlling the people, dividing them along class, racial, and gender lines, and promoting the special interests of the leftist progressives that have come to constitute their elite corps.
Like I said, its been a long time coming, a long journey. Someone recently stated that I should change the name of my blog, that I am not truly a pagan. Of course, he's a leftist, an admitted socialist whose only complaint about the Democrats are they aren't progressive or socialist enough. This is the kind of person, like the vast majority of leftist progressives, like the majority of Democratic Party officials-and more and more, the Democrat rank-and-file, I'm afraid-who wants to force the American people in general to be subjugated to their own interests, and who want to use the government to do so. That is their objective. To be perfectly blunt, it is a traitorous goal, in my honest opinion.
The Democratic agenda is basically an attempt at enslaving the American people by making them dependent on a large bureaucratic government supported by a plethora of groups who want to drain the country's treasury, and who have in fact in doing so for decades contributed to the debt crisis we face today, and probably for decades to come.
I like to credit my pagan beliefs with giving me the impetus to look into all of these things, and to seek out and find the truth, about the progressive left, the socialist who control the agenda of the Democratic Party.
Besides, the very idea that a pagan must be a liberal/leftist/progressive/socialist, or he's not really a pagan, is just the proof I'm talking about that these people are, at the very corps, fascist and totalitarian in nature. I can no longer in good conscience be associated with them by having my name attached as a member. To this day, the memory of the time that I was so affiliated with them is a cause of shame and embarrassment.

Restoring Faith In American Exceptionalism
For that feat, I want to thank Courtney Messerscmidt, who blogs as GrEaT sAtAnS gIrLfRiEnD, and who in an interview for Foreign Policy explained why so many of her peers expressed joy and gratitude over the death of Osama Bin Laden.
I don't want to discourage you from reading the article, so I'll just give you the short, condensed version. Basically, Bin Laden was an asshat who deserved his fate for the evil he committed and represented. And even better, most Americans are down with that.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world seems to feel differently. The UN wants an investigation into the death of the Al-Queda boss, and most Europeans are simply aghast at American displays of wanton joy at his demise. Not all, to be sure. Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, also expressed her happiness at the terrorist bums death, but unfortunately, she seems to be in the minority of Germans. One judge has even gone so far as to threaten prosecution on the grounds that Merkel's reaction was tantamount to rewarding and approving a crime, while further calling her remarks "tacky and undignified".
Meanwhile, the majority of Germans, according to one poll, considered her remarks to be "un-Christian and vengeful."
And as though to rub salt in the still painful wounds of 9/11, the nation of Pakistan, while denying that it aided and abetted Bin Laden, is still angry over the operation, and has even hinted at retaliation.
Such is the worthlessness of the world we have been defending for the last seventy-plus years. The reaction of American citizens to the death of Bin Laden, minus a few notable assholes like Michael Moore, should be at least understandable.
Ironically, people like Courtney would probably be among the first to disagree with me when I say we should remove our troops from most foreign areas and leave these people to their collective, well deserved fates. I might not necessarily cheer and dance in the streets when they met that fate, but I wouldn't waste so much as one sheet of Kleenex over it either. Its just been coming for such a long, long, long, long time.

No Ride List
Senator Charlie Schumer has just proposed a No-Ride List for Amtrak, in order to keep terrorists off the trains. At first glance that seems fine. There's a No-Fly List for planes already, why not have a similar system for Amtrak and any other passenger trains, or subways?
The problem is, just the difference. No-Fly lists tend to work on a basis of international security cooperation. Trains are not international. What passenger trains still exist tend to have very limited, regional routes here in the US.
Now if we know who these people are already, and we know enough about them to deprive them of the right to ride a train or any other kind of public transportation, then what the fuck are they still doing here?
Here's an idea-how about a "Get The Fuck Out Of This Country" List?
Or, even better, how about a "Target" List, complete with "Bullet Points".
For the time being, if you ride the train or subway, you might want to take your kids off to the side and explain to them that the man in the funny looking uniform isn't trying to feel them up for sexual reasons, he's just trying to keep us all safe from the terrorists from those same Arab countries some their fellow passengers have come from. You know, the ones that are rarely if ever checked.

Mothers Day
Mothers Day had its origins in ancient Greece, in a festival in honor of Rhea, the wife of Cronus and mother of Zeus, and his brothers and sisters. The festival continued in adapted forms throughout the days of the Roman Empire, and on down through the ages, celebrated in England as Mothering Day. It wasn't until after the Civil War that it was revived in America, where it has continued to the present day.
And so, in honor of all mothers everywhere, both human and divine-Happy Mothers Day.

Progressive Rank-And-Defile
NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-MAY 8TH EDITION
You know that progressive feminists aren't very secure in their femininity, or for that matter their humanity, when they can't keep from attacking even the children of their political opponents. If anybody can tell you that, its the Palins. Since Sarah was chosen as John McCain's VP running mate, she herself was attacked, mercilessly, even though she stood up to the oil companies and a crooked GOP machine in her home state of Alaska-things that would have guaranteed liberal Democrats would sing her praises if she were a Democrat. Unfortunately for her, she's a Republican. Worse, she's a devout Christian who wouldn't even consider aborting her Down's Syndrome afflicted newborn son.
But of course it didn't stop with her. Her husband has been attacked, as have her children. Bristol has especially been the recipient of progressive and Democrat loony leftist ire on a number of occasions, most recently for being one of the spokespersons for The Candies Foundation, an organization that tries to work to reduce the number of teen pregnancies.
Their problem with Bristol is that, instead of focusing on birth control, she promotes abstinence. Yep, nothing will raise a feminists, or any liberals ire like encouraging teenage girls to NOT have premarital sex.
Then they took another line of attack, when it was learned Bristol was paid a hefty salary for her work with the foundation. What they are ignoring is that Bristol's fame will raise the profile of the Candies Foundation in a way an ordinary spokesperson could never do. Why shouldn't they pay her for her time and effort?
Nevertheless, the feminists at the feminist web-site Fisting-oops, my mistake, that's Feministing-are incensed at Palin, for both preaching abstinence, and for taking a large six figure salary-but mainly for being a conservative Christian and daughter of Sarah Palin.
I think their point is that Bristol sounds elitist in her ads. Now being as these are progressives, you are kind of tempted to give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how they should be experts at what constitutes elitism. But let's look at this carefully and thoughtfully.
Bristol says in the ads that she came from a privileged background with many advantages that many other girls might not have, and that in such cases an unwanted pregnancy could in effect be a severe hardship.
See, that's the difference between Progressives/Liberals/Democrats-and Human Beings. If you tell the simple truth, it sounds elitist, smug, or hateful.
But when they tell a fucking lie, and screech at the top of their fucking lungs about it, and make veiled and not so veiled threats of violence, then you are any number of vile things if you disagree with them, even if you do so in a relatively civil tone of voice or writing style.
Of course, nobody would listen to a girl like Bristol Palin when she warns her peers not to make the same mistakes she did. But evidently they'll listen to some three time loser who tells them the proper way to put a condom on their boyfriend, and how to go about getting ab abortion if the condom breaks or the pill fails to work.
But, I guess that's the essence of being a "real woman" in today's feminist world. Whenever you see a gutter, don't walk away-by all means, jump right in.

A Good Woman Knows Her Place
NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-MAY 8th SUNDAY MASS EDITION
It's official, Pope John Paul II is now officially an almost Saint. I guess that means that if you ask him to intercede on your behalf with the big guy upstairs, he'll get back to you as soon as possible. Seriously, whether you believe in the beatification of dead people or consider the Catholic process to be a "cult of Saints", it is nevertheless a nice gesture on behalf of a man who spend a large portion of his life and career as a staunch anti-communist and advocate for old-fashioned values. While contributing to no small measure to the demise of the Soviet Union and freeing Eastern Europe from the grip of communist tyranny, he never missed an opportunity to advocate against abortion and birth control. He was a fierce warrior for traditional marriage and the rightful role of women as wives, mothers, and homemakers. Not bad for an organization that is on balance progressive-which makes his stance on the role of women even more infuriating to his fellow progressives.
John Paul and his successor, Benedict XVI have made it clear the Church will never change its stand on these important issues, but will be a bulwark against the ever-encroaching culture of immorality and death.
As such, Benedict too is to be commended for deposing Bishop William Morris of Australia, for stating he would be willing to allow women to be Priests. Married men, too. Gays, even. Who does he think he is, Rowan Williams?
Look, the Catholic Church is what it is. What would it look like if a pagan used Near Beer to attune with Dionysius, and denounced the consumption of alcoholic beverages? What if someone arbitrarily decided Artemis, as a lover of animals, demanded her adherents become vegans? It wouldn't make a lot of sense, would it?
Well, then, you shouldn't expect the Catholic Church to suddenly start passing out condoms and giving pregnant teens vouchers for Planned Parenthood. And you should not, under any circumstances, expect the Church to suddenly start ordaining women for the Priesthood.
That's just not a woman's place.

NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-MAY 7th SATURDAY KIDS SHOW EDITION
The following public service announcement from Romanian television warns of the potentially catastrophic results when women insist on competing with men in the work force to such an extent they neglect to spend the proper amount of time educating their children-especially their daughters, who need a mothers guidance. Far too many women are content to let strangers teach their daughters or, as seen here, allow their children to watch far too much television. This all too often results in young girls learning the wrong values, which can lead to dire consequences.
The onus then is on the mothers of a family. If you have young daughters, perhaps you should consider quitting your job in order to devote your time to raising them properly. Otherwise-

One of the best written, acted, and directed prime time dramas on network television might be The Good Wife which, though it takes place in the modern era, in many ways portrays characters with good old fashioned values. This is especially true of the title character, Alicia Florick, wife of Peter Florick, recently elected to a new term as States Attorney of Cook County (yeah, Chicago) after serving a stint in jail on corruption charges.
He also slept around, despite being married and with two dependent children, while serving his first term as States Attorney. In fact, he paid prostitutes with taxpayer money. Putting aside for the moment that he is obviously a Democrat (and therefore such behavior is to be expected on that basis alone), I think we can agree that Peter Florick, under any reasonable criterion, can be considered a cad.
Yet, wife Alicia does not leave him. She gets a job at a prestigious Chicago law firm, yet not only does she not file for divorce, she takes Peter back in when he is released from prison, and further gives him comfort and encouragement when he decides to seek to regain his old political position.
Unfortunately, over the course of time, she discovers that he once slept with her now best friend, Kalinda. So now, as seen in the clip below, she is ready to at last call it off.
What can you say? Hoooo boy, women will be women, huh? Alicia is obviously wanting to begin a new relationship with her boss at the law firm, and is using this "news" of her husband's infidelities, with a woman she didn't even know when it happened, as an excuse.
If this show continues down this path, it will prove to be yet another example of television turning its back and thumbing its nose at good old fashioned family values.
Men need to get a strange piece of pussy every now and then. It's a part of their DNA. Its all a part of their inborn hunting instincts. No, women aren't supposed to be happy about it and just put up with it. Of course they are supposed to resist, put their foot down, and insist on fidelity. That's who they are. And its also appropriate that they should dish out punishment, but to within a reasonable extent.
But ending a marriage over something that is a matter of human nature, well that's just a bridge too far.
Write, phone, or e-mail CBS. Tell them to keep Alicia Florick a devoted "Good Wife". as an inspiration to all the other young girls and women who might also be thinking of leaving their husbands for no good reason.

Aubrey Plaza-Pregnant With My Child?
My personal goal for NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK for Friday, May 6th, 2011 is to be a responsible baby daddy. It's not going to be easy, but I have to do the right thing. The responsible thing. I have managed somehow to impregnate not just any woman, but Aubrey Plaza, star of the NBC sitcom Parks And Recreation. I met her in a bar here in Kentucky a few weeks back and took her to a motel room. After a night of wild sex, she left the following morning while I was barely half awake. I was so hungover I stumbled around for half a day trying to pull myself together, but didn't really give it much thought otherwise, until I watched P&R last night. Sure enough, she looks pregnant to me. She has that glow.
Now of course, I don't KNOW that she is pregnant, and if she is, I don't KNOW the child is mine, but if that turns out to be the case, I owe it to the child, to me, and to Aubrey, to marry the woman and be a good baby daddy. I will not run, hide, obfuscate, deny, and I will not support any ideas of aborting the child.
I didn't even recognize Aubrey when she first come in the bar. Like most celebrities, she evidently tends to disguise her appearance while out in public. Suffice it to say, when I first saw her, she looked something like this-
But after I was there for a while, I started noticing something strange about her. One beer followed another, and as I relaxed I began to see through Aubrey's clever disguise. By closing time, and my fifteenth can of Bud, she had evidently dropped all pretenses, as I sat gazing at the smiling face of Aubrey Plaza-
So as you can tell, my options are limited. I will, I must, do the right thing by her. Its just a good thing I had a lot of beer that night, otherwise I would never have known who she was. A great big thank you to Budweiser. And to those other beer brands which do their part to keep us acting honest and responsibly, as seen in the following Tuborg commercial, reproduced in yet another video I discovered courtesy of the depraved mind of Stanley Kowalski.

A Woman In Search Of A Worthy Master
NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-THURSDAY MAY 5th EDITION
Emilie Simon wants to be somebody's dog? Frankly, I doubt this video is what Stacy McCain had in mind, but whatever else it is, it should certainly be offensive to feminists, certainly the old school variety at least.
You have to hand it to Emilie, though. It takes a woman who is secure in her own femininity to hear this old song by The Stooges, and say in effect, "hey, you know something, that song is so me, I will make it my own."
H/T-Stanley Kowalski. Somebody please shut up and get that fucker a beer.

Justified Season Finale-Bloody Harlan
If you haven't been watching Justified on the FX channel (Wednesday Night 10:00 pm) you are missing what is probably the best show on television in quite some time. Special kudos to Jeremy Davies as Dickie Bennett, and who formerly played Daniel Faraday on Lost. I was going to put two different videos from both shows that featured this actor's respective characters, just to show the range of his acting ability, but unfortunately that's impossible due to copyright problems.
But take my word for it, he's just one of a slew of fine actors that enhance a great story, plot, and production values that make you think you are smack dab in the middle of Appalachia. If you watch it for the first time tonight, you will be sorely tempted to buy the season DVD.
Well, here's a clip of Jeremy Davies as Daniel Faraday on Lost.

Coffee With Zilla
NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-HUMPDAY EDITION
Back in the good old days, a woman knew her place, and despite feminist propaganda to the contrary, her place wasn't just in the bedroom and the kitchen. WTF, are you kidding? That woman had a whole fucking house to clean, toilets to scrub. But granted, the most important place by far was in the kitchen, where a woman fulfilled what was arguably her most important role-cooking. And nothing ranked higher in the life of her man than in making sure before he left the house to go to work, she was ready with a fresh pot of steaming hot, black coffee.
If she was lax in the performance of this vital duty-well, there could be a price to pay for that.
Nowadays, of course, women have "grown" and don't feel as though they have to fulfill a traditional wife's duties.
Fortunately, even in this modern age, there are those women who appreciate tradition, including the traditional role of a good housewife, who knows that cooking, cleaning, and otherwise being a good, devoted wife is what makes a happy home.
I want to give a shout-out therefore to Zilla Of The Resistance. Visit her blog and show her you support her stance as a strong, courageous, conservative woman and traditional wife.

Women Who Lie About Rape
NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-TUESDAY, MAY 3rd EDITION
President Obama has promised he will veto HR 3, a bill designed to deny federal funding for abortion on the grounds of any but "forcible rape". Critics of the bill stress that this would in effect change the definition of rape, which currently includes statutory rape. Of course there is more, much more, to it than that.
Also excluded would be alleged, so-called "coercive" rape, such as when women are "taken advantage of" by giving them drugs or alcohol. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that when one of them gets me so high on drugs or alcohol that they seem to look a hell of a lot better that night than they do the next morning, that would be a kind of rape as well. Poor things, they have unleashed my inner cad. It's not their fault, they just wanted another drink, and someone to talk to. Maybe some money to pay the rent. And there I go, insisting on a piece of ass.
Can you really blame them for lying and saying they were raped? I can't. But should the federal government pay for it, meaning the tax-payer? No, no, a thousand times no. That kind of thing just encourages girls to be irresponsible with their bodies, and encourages me to make damn sure the women I fuck are well into their forties.
That's all right, a few drinks and I swear, they do look like they're in their twenties. Bonus points to the ones with dentures.

In His Last Moments On Earth, Bin Laden Hid Behind A Woman
In other words, even Osama Bin Laden, at the very end, celebrated National Offend A Feminist Week.
Then again, he celebrated it every day. In fact, most Muslims, even the alleged moderates, live their lives in a way that most feminists would certainly find offensive if their acts were committed by non-Muslim Americans.
As it stands now, most American feminists will probably not feel as offended at Bin Laden's last cowardly actions at hiding behind a Muslim woman as they will feel absolute outrage that one of our soldiers killed the unfortunate woman in order to get to Bin Laden. The fact that Osama was himself armed and certainly capable of firing off rounds from behind his human female shield of choice would be as irrelevant to them as the prospect that the female shield might well have been a willing participant.
But there you have it. The 800 pound gorilla in the room is that modern American and European feminists are not offended by the actions of Muslim males towards their women folk, except in those situations where it becomes politically expedient to express such outrage.
And that, my friends, is seldom if ever.

May Day Gift-Bin Laden Dead
No links yet, no verification, that's just what I've been seeing on Twitter. If true, great. If that's not reason to extend the dance around the Maypole a few extra days I don't know what is.
UPDATE-I'm going to go ahead and call it authentic. According to Ace, it was a firefight outside a mansion in Islamabad, Pakistan, that resulted in Bin Laden dead with a bullet through the head. What's more, the US is in possession of the body.
Joy and cheers all around. Kudos to whoever got the honor of ending the worthless scums existence. May he be followed by millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions more, if that's what it takes, until all the radical Islamist scum are eradicated from the face of the earth.

What A Real Woman Should Be (Hint-Not A Shrieking, Leftist, Feminist Harpy)
National Offend A Feminist Week begins on May 2nd. What better time than Beltane to announce support against a movement that wants to twist the traditional definition of womanhood into something it was never meant to be and to turn women into shrieking harpies of leftist progressive castration fantasists.
Here is what a real woman is. This is what a woman should be proud to be, or at the very least, render deserved respect unto the women who are secure enough in their femininity to be-well, real women.
In honor of National Offend A Feminist Week, I hereby announce as my official blog policy that the phrase "Ms." is officially banned from my vocabulary. If you are a married woman, you are a "Mrs.". If you are a single woman, you are a "Miss".
And if you are a feminist, well, you are probably a "Cunt".

May Day Festivities-Don't Let The Unions Tell You Who To Support And Not To Support
Tomorrow, for May Day, labor unions are pushing for a nationwide boycott of businesses that are known to have supported Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, going so far as to urge their supporters to go into grocery stores and place stickers on products produced by the offending companies.
Including in this attempted boycott drive are Coors Beer, Sargento Cheese, Johnsonville Brats, and Angel Soft toilet paper.
Aside from the fact that this is wrong on so many levels-and probably illegal to boot-there is something you can do if you celebrate May Day and are a conservative, a Republican, or for that matter just a decent American. Instead of sitting back and doing nothing while these companies are targeted by union thugs, you can strike back. You can go out of your way to patronize these fine companies, as I decided to do for Beltane. But don't limit your patronage to just May Day. Continue your support in the weeks and months ahead. Show the union thugs that you do not approve of them, their goals, and their tactics.
So for May Day tomorrow, enjoy a nice meal of Johnsonville Brats, washed down with some good Coors Beer, along with a nice after dinner snack of Sargento's cheese.
Then, at the end of the day, when it comes time to take a healthy shit, make sure you wipe your ass with a heaping helping of Angel Soft Toilet Paper.

We Have A Winner
Herman Caib Wins 2012 Presidential Forum In Manchester New Hampshire
So says 69% of the respondents in the poll which saw Tim Pawlenty finishing a distant second, while Mutt RomneyCare floundered and flubbered.
Although I'm still basically a Palin supporter at heart, I have to admit it would be poetic justice if the failure Barak Obama, Presidential White House Lawn Jockey of the race-baiting Democratic Party, was replaced in the Oval Office by Herman Cain, the black Republican who would go on to the be the howling success as President he has been in every other area of his commendable life and career. Not as a black President, but as an AMERICAN president who just happens to be black. You know, the way it should be.
Whatever the future holds, one thing you can be sure of-Herman Cain will be a factor, and an influence in public life and the affairs of the nation for some time to come, long after Barak Obama has retired to a private life of deserved relative obscurity.

Making Lemons Out Of Lemonade-What Else?
This has got to be one of the all time great commercials. Sure, the premise is silly. In between the time dad leaves for work in the morning and comes back home apparently that same evening, little Susie gets funding from venture capitalists for her lemonade stand business, and in the space of a few hours oversees the construction of a multi-story skyscraper for her new business headquarters. By the time poor dad makes it back home and asks where Susie is, he's asked if he has an appointment by a little boy Susie has hired as her secretary. It ends with Susie standing in front of her completed headquarters with a triumphant expression. All of this made possible because dad let her use his Verizon smart phone.
Its silly, but at the same time, its upbeat and positive, as well as funny. The look the little boy secretary gives the father when he asks if he has an appointment to see Susie is priceless.
Unfortunately, in real life, Susie would be in a world of trouble, with the FDA, the EPA, the Labor Department, and God only knows what else. And of course, by the time the fucking IRS was done with her she would wish she had just stayed in her room and played with her dolls that day.

Mitt Romney Makes Serious Gaffe Against The Democratic Party's White House Lawn Jockey
Since we are now into the Beltane Sabbat, this might be an appropriate time to look to see who is for now the most likely nominee to lead the Republican Party against Obama next year. So far, there is no clear front-runner, but it could well be that there is one person we just might be able to eliminate from contention-former Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney, who says we should hang Obama with his policies.
He then backpedaled from that, insisting that he was talking metaphorically. He knew he had just stepped into deep shit, but as one wag so eloquently put it-
Mitt Romney was backpedaling after suggesting it was time to “hang” President Obama. Actually, Romney meant to say Obama’s policies were the linchpin… no wait, he should have said Obama must to be whipped into shape… that is, Americans shouldn’t be slaves to the Obama administration’s… um, or maybe Obama is a cotton-picking… oh, never mind.
As far as I'm concerned, Romney's only mistake was in referring to Obama's policies as a rope. That fucking rope would be so damn long there's no way you could hang him with it, unless you hung him from the top of the Empire State Building.

Blind Date
I love this commercial. It's cool as hell, but its also just creepy as fuck. I love how "Todd" shows up at the end driving past the woman's home, like some thug cruising for a piece of ass. One hand on the stirring wheel, one hanging out the window-and one on the rear-view mirror.

Is Donald Trump Trying To Be The Post-Modernist Harry Truman?
I don't think even "Give 'Em Hell Harry" would call the Chinese motherfuckers. Certainly not in public, while making a speech and openly mulling a run for the nomination of his party for President. Incidentally, I'm still not convinced Trump isn't, like Truman, a Democrat at heart. He once considered running as a Democrat (I think this was in 2004, but it might have been earlier) and he has a habit of donating to Democrat causes and candidates. I think he's basically a limousine liberal, maybe more of a Blue Dog Democrat. Granted, anything would be am improvement over Obama, but I just don't think Trump is what most of his supporters think he is. Just too much doesn't add up. For one thing, despite what Trump says, the Birth Certificate issue is not that important to most Tea Party people now, nor was it ever. I think he just assumed it was based on media charges. Also, his angst over the Chinese and the Saudis is boilerplate populism that you're just as likely to hear from a Democrat as from a Republican. Remember, unions are upset over the loss of good paying jobs, to the Chinese, and most liberal Democrats resent our ties to the Saudis, who they see, with a great deal of merit, as an oppressive regime that has kept up bound to oil. If we could ditch the Saudis, we would have no choice but to move toward green energy, to their way of thinking. Also, if we left the Middle East, we would have no vital reason or interest to be involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict-something else Trump has been strangely silent about.
I'm starting to think Trump is not to be feared. Over time, he will show his true colors. He probably knows its useless to try to take the Democrat nomination from Obama. Otherwise I have no doubt that he would go that route. But since he probably feels that is a lost cause, his only options are either to run as a Republican, or as an independent. The good news is hopefully that after a few weeks, and months, have passed, it will be much more clear where he's coming from. And, if he does run as an independent, I think there's a pretty good chance he'll pull much more votes from the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party-the moderate to conservative and Blue Dog wings-than he will from the GOP.

You Just Can't Be Too Careful
It looks like the wedding of Prince William to his bride Kate Middleton was a howling success, thanks in no small measure to the security steps taken which resulted in more than fifty arrests.
The Brits certainly had their work cut out for them. There were of course the usual concerns regarding Islamic terrorism, but in addition to that, they are always mindful of the sizable percentage of natural born British citizens these days who are leftist radicals. They run the gamut from Islamic sympathizers to environmental extremists. It would be a simple matter for them to mix with the crowd and wait for the most opportune time to work their mischief.
In fact, one of them was spotted fairly quickly. Here he is pictured below.

Obama's Birth Cerificate, Reproduced In Full
I just don't see what all the controversy is about. It looks authentic to me. Well, put it this way, it looks as authentic as anything else that's ever come from Obama. You be the judge. If you can buy his health care bullshit, his immigration nonsense, his taxing and spending atrocities, and his environmentalist abominations, you should be able to accept anything. If you can't buy into any of that stupid leftist horseshit, then this should come as no shock either.

Guess Who's Been Receiving Death Threats
Sila Shain, pictured above, is a Turkish Muslim actress from Germany who recently posed for Playboy.
This isn't even the best picture of her. You can find that one here.
Oh, and those death threats? Unless you're a leftist or a Democrat, or some other snake who's been living under a rock for the last twelve years or more, its probably not even necessary for me to have to tell you where they're coming from.

Obama Born In America After All
As if there was any legitimate question about that in the first place. I will give kudos to Donald Trump for making Obama move to have his long-form birth certificate released by the state of Hawaii, which deserves the lion's share of the blame for this shit to begin with. It is a state law that long-forms can't be released. The state's position is that the short form is standard procedure for attaining driver's licenses and any other matter than requires personal identification. But this should have been an exception from the beginning. It has been a federal law from the foundation of the country that a person who runs for the presidency must provide proof of birth in the US. Period, end of story. What constitutes proof in Hawaii need not be accepted readily outside the state.
But anyway, its over now, so its time to put the Birther BS behind us and focus on real, legitimate issues. It was always a distraction at best. When the best is a distraction, you should know right away nothing good is going to come of it.
Now it's time to concentrate on putting an end to Obama's leftist progressive, big government agenda, hopefully forever.

Boeing Boeing
I've been steaming about this for a few days, and I still don't know what to make of it. How can Obama, and the National Labor Relations Board, possibly justify filing a lawsuit against a top employer like Boeing because they are planning to open a new plant in South Carolina, which is a right-to-work state? It's not as if they are closing down a plant with union workers in order to open one there. And by the way, even if they were, there wouldn't be a damn thing anybody could legitimately do about it. Companies relocate to friendlier business climates all the time. But its beginning to look like Obama plans to put a stop to that for good.
Nevertheless, this is not the case here. The company's plant in the state of Washington is still going strong. Actually, I think it just expanded recently, or not too long ago. No workers are being laid off. The plant in South Carolina is meant as an expansion, not a replacement. So what gives?
As if that were not enough, the new plant in South Carolina will, or would, make use of green energy in the form of sixty acres-yes, I said sixty acres-of solar panels on the roof of the plant. The way Democrats carry on about environmental issues, you would think they would hail this development as an example to emulate. But of course, the corrupt labor unions, one of the special interest groups to whom Barak Obama is nothing more than a mutually owned White House Lawn Jockey, are adamant. South Carolina is joining forces with Boeing in an attempt to hurt the unions, and union workers. Therefore, the NLRB is also filing suit against Governor Hayley and several of her appointees and other government officials on the grounds of-get this-violations of the First Amendment guarantees of Freedom of Association.
Nikki Hayley, the newly elected governor of South Carolina, is incensed at the NLRB's latest action and is going to fight it, as well she should. But let's face it, its going to take more than politics and the courts to settle this nonsense. The only thing that's going to put a stop to this kind of egregious, over-the-top abuse of the free enterprise system by an increasingly monolithic and dictatorial government bureaucracy is one thing and one thing only.
The citizens of the US need to go on "strike". I recommend a boycott on any Made In America product that is made by union labor. "Shop At Walmart" and "Buy Chinese" should be the orders of the day. Not only would that hurt the labor unions and their political lackeys where it really hurts, but it might forestall the latest threats by the Chinese to dump the two trillion dollars in US debt that they currently hold.
Sometimes you have to be willing to surpass the enemy when it comes to dirty, sleazy tactics. Yes, it would add to unemployment and cause grave overall damage to the national economy, but let's face it, we are on the way out now anyway. We are teetering closer to the edge of insolvency, of bankruptcy, and possibly a great Depression like nothing we have ever seen before. Democrats either don't get it or, as I actually suspect, want it to happen so they can impose a more socialist vision on the rest of us, in a way that would be impossible to forestall or resist.
By boycotting union products, we could not only destroy the unions and their stranglehold on our nation and its leaders and bureaucrats, we could actually bring Obama's rotten Administration crashing down to the ground before it brings the whole damn country crashing down with it.
"Look For The Union Label".
Then, buy something else.

Crazy John McCain Conducts His Own Maverick Brand Of Foreign Policy
John McCain has gone to Libya to meet with the rebels opposed to Qaddafi, calling them his "heroes". For now, I'm going to contain my response to a copy and paste of the comment I made at Weasel Zippers-
Wouldn't it be hilarious if they were to kidnap McCain and hold him hostage with demands that we go all out to depose Qaddafi? After that, they could keep him and demand we get the hell out of their country. Then demand billions of dollars worth of foreign aid, etc. McCain's only hope of ever being freed might be through the Israelis. Of course if they kill one civilian doing so, they'd be harangued by this White House. And probably by McCain.
I urge you to go to the linked post at Weasel Zippers, not so much for the post as for the other comments. Like this one-
I hope McCain is captured and tortured..
muslims will soon find out that real Americans wouldn’t trade McCain for a bag of chips… not that muslim terrorist prisoners are worth more than that..
But here's probably my favorite-
John McLame, a man whose time has passed. Why don’t you just switch parties and get it over with Johnnie. The cat’s been out of the bag for awhile now. Take off your burqua of Republicanism and be what iy is that you really are: a stupid liberal Dhimi-rat.
BTW, I’m sure that the folks who served in Iraq will be real happy to learn that a fellow vet is doing all that he can to aid and abett the very people that were killing them in Iraq.
Those are just two of many comments (21 so far) that express similar sentiments about Crazy John McCain. And this is a conservative blog. More importantly, these are conservative commenters.
There's a lesson there, or should be, for the National Republican Party.

Rebecca Black-Death Threats
When you're fourteen years old, the last thing you think about is the possibility of receiving death threats. Yet, unbelievably, YouTube video sensation Rebecca Black, pictured above, has recently experienced this. Not once, but twice, she was recently threatened with death unless she desisted in posting her music on the internet. The Anaheim police are taking the threats seriously enough to put this kid under protective surveillance.
I will not link to her video, "Friday". I did listen to it one time, just to see what all the controversy was about. Frankly, it is indeed an execrable piece of work. Once was more than enough, and I would frankly discourage anyone from viewing it. Just as I can do that in good conscience, anybody else can opt to not listen to it at all. You can take my word and avoid the experience all together, and you can damn sure choose to not view it a second time. If you persist, you have only yourself to blame.
But death threats? Aren't there plenty of crappy adult artists you could threaten? Come on-she's a fucking kid. What the fuck kind of people exist in this world that think its all right to e-mail death threats to a teenage girl just because they think her music sucks?
Frankly, if I were that low down a person, I would hope somebody would intervene, maybe convince me that if my life was that shallow, that worthless, maybe I should just get it over with and shoot myself in the head.
Once in the temple, once in the forehead, and once through the roof of the mouth.

Ready, Aim-Fire!
Republican Representative Darrell Issa of California wants to know why the ATF went out of its way to supply Mexican gun cartels with firearms purchased by smugglers in the US, but he is being hamstrung in his efforts. One of the obstacles sits on his own committee (House Oversight And Government Reform), a Democrat named Elijah Cummings, who insists that revealing any information might compromise several on-going investigations. The Obama Administration, meanwhile, has flat out refused to cooperate, leading Issa to threaten contempt proceedings.
Obviously, Obama feels he has something to hide here. I think he might be looking for an excuse to clamp down on gun sales across the country, using the situation in Mexico as an excuse. Unfortunately for him, agents of his own ATF blew the whistle on their bureaucratic masters con game, so its now pretty much out in the open. They sat back and watched as the guns, purchased at US gun stores, made their way to Mexican drug cartels. When the game was discovered, their lame excuse was they were trying to monitor to see who got the guns, but unfortunately, the trail unexpectedly went cold, and the guns just disappeared. Yeah, right. Too bad they suddenly reappeared at the scene of several murders, some of which were of American citizens, but what the hell.
I already posted about this matter, and mused that it might well be grounds for impeachment proceedings. But I will be satisfied with contempt, for the time being.
Maybe Obama has ironically provided us with the way to cut this federal bureaucracy down to size. If we can't reduce the size and scope of the federal government through legislative means, maybe we can do it through the justice system-one contempt citation at a time.

Democratic Hypocrisy-The Twilight Zone Was Never This Surreal
Two interesting stories have recently come to light. The first concerns former Army Private Lynndie England, a former Abu Graib prison guard who was prosecuted and imprisoned for prisoner abuse related to the Abu Ghraib prison scandal during the Iraq War. After she served her sentence, she was released from prison in 2008 and given a Dishonorable Discharge. She has lately gone on the lecture circuit. Yet, staffers at the US Library of Congress cancelled a recent planned appearance there by England due to concerns arising from death threats aimed at the event.
Imagine my surprise then when I first read that the Texas Democratic Party might be running Rick Sanchez for the US Senate. Maybe there's some mistake, I thought. Maybe its actually former CNN anchor and leftist loon Rick Sanchez whom they are running. But no, evidently they really are going to support the candidacy of former Iraq commander Ricardo Sanchez, whom Democrats once upon a time raked over the coals for his conduct during the Abu Ghraib controversy. Red State ponders the irony-
A 2004 panel that investigated prisoner abuse found Sanchez, once the nation’s highest-ranking Hispanic officer, was derelict in overseeing Iraqi detention. According to a classified report by three Army generals, Sanchez approved the use of harsh military interrogation techniques that were once limited to prisoners held at facilities in Cuba and Afghanistan.
The irony that Democrats who once raked the lieutenant general over the coals now view Sanchez as their savior will no doubt be a hallmark of the campaign.
Senator Patty Murray, who steers the Democrats’ Senate campaign arm and vaguely teased reporters earlier this week of a top Texas recruit, said in 2004 that all those responsible for Abu Ghraib — no matter where they fell in the chain of command — must be held to account for their actions.
“These actions are a disservice to the thousands of American soldiers in the region who serve us honorably each and every day, and, sadly, are likely to make their efforts to calm a troubled region even harder,” Murray said of the controversy.
Red State goes on to suggest that it would not be easy for Sanchez to gain real traction, but I'm not so sure. They forget the heavy Hispanic turnout which is likely to go ten percent or more higher for someone of the status of Sanchez than they normally do even for a more traditional candidate from the Democratic Party, which typically out-polls Republicans among Latinos by a two-to-one margin as it is.
And that's not counting the very real possibility of illicit voting by illegal immigrants, something that has been a grave concern over the last decade.
Democrats are also probably intent on trying to position themselves yet again as, laughably, patriotic Americans by running Sanchez, a man they once excoriated and wanted to prosecute. After all, they used to say that the whole mess was his responsibility as commanding officer, and as such he, and everyone else up the chain of command should suffer the same fate as the lower soldiers involved in the scandal, who like England were prosecuted, imprisoned, and suffered the ignominy of a Dishonorable Discharge.
Well, since Ricardo Sanchez has now gained their approval and earned their respect to such an extent, what about those lower rung soldiers? What about Lynndie England? Can we soon look forward to the day when Lynndie will be forgiven her sins, baptized into the leftist progressive movement, and atone through a life of public service? Why the hell not? After all, Democrats always said she was no worse than Sanchez. You could make the argument in fact that he, as commanding officer, was worse, whether he was personally complicit, or incompetent and derelict in his ignorance of the matter.
So since he is going to be running as the Democratic candidate for the US Senate from the great state of Texas, why not Lynndie England as a Democratic Party candidate for office from her home state of West Virginia? If not Senator, then maybe the House of Representatives, or maybe even Governor. I think I've got her campaign poster all picked out for her.

The Latest Environmental Fad
Some environmentalists figure, well, since bugs are a delicacy in some parts of the world, as well as being great sources of vitamins and protein-why not eat them here in the US and the West? It would be much better for the earth, they assure us. So, instead of cattle, pigs, sheep, and chicken, why not grasshoppers, and-spiders, like the two tasty tarantulas pictured below.
Just think, with a little imagination, you can turn your head, hell your entire body into your own personal, portable family farm, and not have to be tied to one particular plot of land.

Jesse Jackson-"That's Not Gay, That's Surviving"
If you're gay, working for Jesse Jackson might not be your best career move. According to one former Jackson staffer, he was abused and disrespected by Jackson and by many of his associates, though Jesse himself established a somewhat dependent relationship with the man. For one thing, he acted as Jackson's procurer of women. But it didn't stop with women.
He also claims that Jesse asked him to apply a cream to an area between his legs where he had a rash and that one night he was summoned to Jesse's hotel room at 1am to take "notes" but he could see that Mr. Jackson was aroused. Sigh....
He also shared this gem of a story that claims Jesse was partaking in sexual relations with men himself:
"Rev. Jackson stated that he played football and there was a gay high school teacher who took Rev. Jackson under his wings and told him that he needed education to go along with football. Rev. Jackson said, '[F]rom that gay teacher, I got a good grade, I got to use his car, I got ten dollars and I got my dick sucked.' Rev. Jackson said, '[T]hat's not gay, that is surviving.'"
Anything you say, Jesse Jackson, you old fucking pole smoker you. No wonder you threatened to cut Barak Obama's dick off. You just wanted it. You really, really wanted it.

So You Want To Raise A Sociopath
You might want to consider the case of San Francisco native Kelly Campbell, who zealously looks out for the interests of her eight year old daughter Britney by giving her Botox injections and Virgin Waxes.
The waxes will keep her from growing pubic hair when she goes through puberty and the Botox-which Kelly purchases on-line and injects herself into Britney's forehead, eyelids, and lips-will insure that her daughter will stay baby-faced longer than usual. This will help her win child beauty pageants on her way to becoming an eventual superstar.
And I'm sure it will keep her attractive for a longer period of time to the men, and women, who are judges and habitues of child beauty pageants, where children Britney's age and younger are paraded like little sex symbols.
If its any consolation, Britney seems fine with all this. Then again, she is only eight years old. Not quite marrying age yet, but it probably won't be too long before she has her own entourage. I'm sure Kelly can be trusted to screen them for the most promising marriage prospects. Pussies without pubic hair seem to be all the rage these days.

Former Muslim Terrorizes New York State Senate Hearing With A WMD Called "The Truth"
When a person leaves Islam, he or she will do so secure in the knowledge that there are numerous former fellow Muslims who will exact a most terrible judgement, by taking the person's life. This is a well-know fact, and as such, you would think that when a person such as that has something to say, their words would be worth listening to and giving all due consideration and respect.
Such a person is Nonie Darwish, the director of Former Muslims United, who spoke at a New York State Senate Committee hearing recently, and who raised eyebrows when she said that, as a Muslim child, she was taught to hate America, as well as Israel and the West. She also raised some voices, one of them a New York State Senate Democrat, who while brandishing a Koran, blared that she was spreading "hate and poison", that her presence was offensive to the hearing (which was ostensibly held to discuss how prepared New York is for another potential terrorist attack), and that "this is not our enemy", apparently referencing the Koran.
Miss Darwish continued her train of thought, insisting that not only what she said was true but that it was not a secret, which made the New York Senate Democrat, Eric Adams from Brooklyn, even angrier. He was interrupted by a couple of Republicans who mainly insisted he stop playing to the cameras and let the woman speak. One Republican commented, in an apparent effort at compromise, that Miss Darwish spoke only for herself and her own life experience, and not for the many good Muslims in the US and the world.
And so it goes. Politicians either want the truth or they do not. The truth should never be manipulated, or hidden, to spare the feelings of constituents or to ease their fears. Far too many politicians want to avoid the truth, or outright deny it. Or they want to compromise with it. Even when it comes to this deadly serious issue, once that might well put many lives at risk, they can't stop the games and political correctness. That is because they think they cannot trust you-we, the people-with the truth.
And it is like that throughout the corridors of power, from state legislators to those who hold the highest national office. A case in point here would be Lindsey Graham, who recently proposed that there should be limits on free speech when it amounted to offending the sensibilities of the many Muslim thugs who make up at least a large minority of the Muslim world where moderation and tolerance is discouraged and is in fact seen as a weakness, and even as evil, possibly Satanic.
In fact, Muslim moderates, if they exist at all, say very little in opposition to the radicals, for the very good reason they don't want to come home one day to find their families slaughtered. Not by some relatively small group of thugs, but by any number of devout mainstream Muslims just carrying out the fatwas of their local religious leaders.
It's a very real hazard, and for a bunch of corrupt politicians to denounce a woman who went out of her way to testify about the reality of these dangers and at great personal risk to her health and life, is beyond the pale.

Wisconsin-"The People Have Spoken"
The Wisconsin State GOP, and really, every true conservative across the country, just learned what its like to close a car door on your hand. It hurts like hell but when you get your hand free, it feels soooooo fucking good. And so it was with the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race between liberal judge Kloppenburg and conservative Justice David Prosser.
For a short time, Kloppenburg was a scant 240 votes ahead, with ninety nine percent of all precincts reporting, yet felt confident enough to declare victory (a very important point about this later). It should have come as no surprise that Prosser did not concede, and promised a recount, yet liberals and Democrats throughout the country declared that Prosser should get out of the way of progress, and that it was counter-productive for him to demand a recount, and for others to allege that there might be misconduct on the part of the Democrats.
Suddenly, a seeming miracle. Waukesha County had previously tallied their votes, yet due to some unforeseen clerical error, all of the totals had not been recorded. There were more than fifteen thousand of them, more than ten thousand of which went for Prosser, which netted him a more than seven thousand vote advantage over Kloppenburg. As such, Prosser's victory was now complete, assured, and insurmountable. Suddenly, all ideas as to the negativity of charges of voting fraud were off the table.
If you could ever hear the sound of hot air being let out of a lead balloon, I think it might sound a lot like Michael Moore on Twitter. His acerbic wit was finding everything from Osama Bin Laden to WMD on the computer of the offending Waukesha County Clerk who discovered her error.
Unfortunately for the leftist spoilsports who creep among us, the error of Kathy Nikolaus was noted by others before she herself. Notable among them is Anne Althouse, who followed the race while posting in real time, and even commented as to why the Waukesha totals remained the same throughout the night after other precincts added their votes to the previous totals.
Be that as it may, though Democrats hopes are dashed, I have to wonder about their true intent from the beginning. Kloppenburg's unseemly declaration of victory, so quickly, and with such a slim lead to that point, is suspicious and makes me wonder about the last votes tallied for her. I have a strong idea that the last two hundred, three hundred, four hundred votes for her might turn out strong evidence of foul play which her union backers as well as possibly some state election officials hoped to conceal by urging a premature victory concession from Justice Prosser. And as might be expected, leftist groups across the country, as well as blogs like The Daily Kos, took up the demand for Prosser to step aside as quickly as possible.
Republicans shouldn't mind at all being accused of being poor winners if they insist on an investigation. After all, Moore has gone so far as to suggest that Obama should even impound the ballets cast for Prosser from Waukesha-which by the way should give you a pretty damn good idea as to what kind of power socialists would accede to a President that met their approval under their own fucked up system.
If I'm right, evidence of ballot tampering and outright fraud by the Democrats and their union thug bosses should not be hard to uncover and should lead to hard prison time for the culpable parties. Its time to pound a stake through the heart of this vicious vampire because let's face it, this is not the first time Democrats have engaged in voting fraud, nor is it the first time this has been done in collusion with the unions, both of private and public employees. Its time to set an example by making examples out of these pirates.
Some enemies need to be utterly destroyed. Symbolically speaking, of course.
Or maybe not.
But at least for the time being, we are justified in exercising our right to gloat.

Get 'Er Done-Or, Shut 'Er Down
It looks like we are heading for a great big ol' gubmint shutdown here in a day or so, unless the Republicans and Democrats can come to an agreement. Wouldn't that just be a crying shame? Just think-no EPA, no FDA, all the other government agencies and cabinet departments we Americans have come to trust and depend on to keep us all honest and keep everything aboveboard. How could we ever survive?
Well, in my opinion, I think we can muddle through somehow. In fact, I think we might just discover that we never needed the motherfuckers to begin with. And that's really the last thing the Democrats want, so there's no way they want to shut 'er down, but they're in between the proverbial rock and a hard place, because they know they're going to have to give up something, otherwise they'll never be able to proceed with their plans to collapse the nation under a mountain of debt. That of course would be a requirement if they intend to forge ahead with their plans to "spread the wealth".
After all, once we are collapsed into bankruptcy, what choice will we have but to accede to their demands to tax (soak) the rich, for the benefit of all those cute little Democrat special interest groups-international organized labor and their blood brothers the Muslim jihadists, along with Latinos and other illegal immigrants, the progressive black voting bloc, the gays, the feminists, and of course and all their other internationalist partners in crime.
So what do they do? They respond by accusing the Republicans of "ideology" Ha Ha Ha.
The only thing the GOP is doing that is slightly wrong is putting too much emphasis on ending federal funding of abortion. Not that they shouldn't end it, but they should make it plain that their objections to government spending goes way beyond that, because otherwise the Democrats will try to define them as acting against abortion rights-excuse me, I mean "women's reproductive freedom"-and all of those poor impoverished children and the elderly the GOP will put on the chopping block.
The Republicans need to stick to their guns and stay on message, and remind the people that, if they really do want to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, worrying about the government being shut down isn't the most sensible thing in the world to be worried about.
In fact, it should be something to look forward to.

Bad Karma
Oprah Winfrey's new exercise in hubris, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) isn't doing so good in the ratings, coming out at number 40 among cable channels and number 41 in prime time, so she's decided on what seems to be a stroke of desperation in order to save her bacon and the billions of dollars of her personal fortune she's invested in the ill-advised venture. Pulling out all stops, she's hired none other than Rosie O'Donnell to host what she hopes will be the flagship day time talk show of the struggling enterprise.
Rosie O'Donnell-the woman who launched her own magazine, which failed miserably, and then invested much of her own personal fortune in a Broadway show about, and starring, Boy George, the creature with whom she is pictured below, an endeavor in which she might well have been victimized by what was possibly the biggest entertainment scam of the century.
This is a woman who is universally loathed, by almost all accounts, by the people who made up the staff of her own previous talk show venture, her one claim to an all too temporary success. Yet, Oprah seems to think so little of her own staff that she would subject them to this creature.
Did Oprah not learn from not only the things I have listed, but the broadly-held disdain with which O'Donnell is held due to her crazed leftist bent, which was fully on display in her one harrowing season on The View, as well as all her other public outings-or nearly anytime she opens her fat flapping mouth?
Oprah may have revealed her true colors with this move. Moonbats of a feather do tend to flock together. Soon, they might well have more than just their moonbattery in common however. They might also soon share another title-failure.

US And Saudi Arabia-The Deal
I was hoping I could get away from this subject, but to paraphrase Michael Corleone, "Every time I try to find something else to blog about, they drag me back in."
Well, it is a doozy this time out. According to this report from the Asia Times, a deal was made between the Obama Administration, through Hillary Clinton's State Department, and Saudi Arabia. The gist of it is, the Saudis would agree to coral Arab League support for the Western "kinetic military action" in Libya if the US would support them invading Bahrain for the purpose of putting down the revolt of the country's majority Shi'ite population.
It gets better. According to the report, less than half the Arab league ever supported the establishment of a No-Fly Zone over Libya. In fact, out of the 22-member organization, only six of the nations supported the move. Evidently, the rest abstained from the vote. If there ever was a vote to begin with, that is.
The report starts to descent into leftist lunacy at this point, which makes one wonder about the validity of the report in general. Supposedly, this is just another western plot to control Arab resources, in this case Libya. Then again, this might not be so far fetched, when you consider the energy needs of the European Union. In fact, we could be seeing a general realignment of resource allocation, with the European Union taking the lion's share of Middle Eastern resources, while the US generally backs away from the region (and its support for Israel), and concentrates its energy needs on subsidized green energy production at home, and new foreign sources for crude oil, such as Brazil, though this would be mainly as a sop to take the edge off exploding energy prices on the way to the new domestic Green Revolution.
Under this scenario, NATO would play a greater role in Middle East stability, while the US would greatly reduce its role, and its energy access.
In other words, a recipe for real disaster, for Israel, for the majority of the citizens of the EU who do not have a clue as to the problems this will cause them domestically and economically-and for the US.
In the final analysis, my only real quibble with the report is the Asian Times seems to hold that there ever really was a legitimate pro-democracy movement among the Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa to begin with. I think the whole thing, from beginning to end, was maneuvered and manipulated by the west and the Obama Administration.
If it had just been one or two countries, I might consider the possibility that things are the way they have been presented. But the entire region, one country after another.
Sorry, this has foreign intrigue and subversion written all over it. The only real question is, who and why? It shouldn't really be that hard to figure out.

Things That Make You Go WTF?!
Caption the freak below if you wish.
The picture is of a man in the process of changing to a woman, complete with fake breast implants, on a daily dose of female hormones. Now, however, he might be spending the next couple of years in jail for child abuse. He abused his own kids because they refused to call him mom. His girlfriend, who witnessed the abuse, is also in trouble.
I wonder if he's going to bitch if the judge refuses to send him to a female prison. One thing though, if he goes to a prison for male offenders, he shouldn't have any problems with his fellow cons not recognizing him as a female. In fact, I have a suspicion he'll get to be very familiar with the Korean word for bitch.

The Truth Hurts
When a former CIA analyst talks, you listen out of the sheer sense that there's a pretty good chance he might just know what's he's talking about. The video below is notable for far, far more than the way Michael Schuerer criticizes CNN's Christine Romans for "carrying Obama's water". Notice how he explicitly states that the American involvement in Libya is the work of Hillary Clinton, and-John McCain, two people who just can't seem to help wanting to intervene in the affairs of foreign nations. McCain is a doddering old fool who, had he won the election and lived, would have done incalculable damage to the country, which would have likely been permanent in lieu of the irreparable harm he would have done to the Republican Party, which remember at the time was already practically on life support.
Now he is in the Senate insisting that we need to do something about the situation in Libya which we should have kept at far greater than arms length from the start. Arizona made a grave mistake by returning this crusty old RINO to the Senate. For all his flaws, J D Hayworth would have been a vast improvement.
As for Hillary Clinton, she's always been arguably a bigger snake than her husband, and twice as venomous.
