Biden bears a strong resemblance to.....

And further proof...

Wallace, of Wallace and Gromet

He's the one with the dog.

Whites just wanna have fun. Like everybody else. Is that OKAY?

  I know. All you want to do is live your life, do your job and enjoy the world around you.
  But I have news for you.
  Did you know you're privileged?
  If you're white, that is. Only if you're white.
  James Taranto has great fun with the video currently making the rounds that scolds white America for being, well, white. The anti-white crusade is named "Un-Fair Campaign."
  What's so remarkably nauseating about the video is that its creators appear to believe they'll make some kind of impact of race relations, something even, gee, Al Sharpton hasn't been able to do.
  Taranto believes the racists running these kinds of PSAs are running out of steam and he may be right.
  One look at the comments under this video over at YouTube reveals that people are wise to what's going on, they're fed up with the race baiting and they're pretty aware of the forces at work trying to manipulate the public. Looks like Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh are permeating the culture.

Meet Obama Advisor Dan Savage

Does the Obama administration look more and more like a freak show to to you? Watch Dan Savage, Obama's anti-bullying advisor bully the young people in his audience until they walk out. Romney should pledge today that if he is elected he will replace Dan Savage with Michael Savage who could also co-host NPR's All Things Considered with Ann Coulter.

Fast and Furious Update

ERIC HOLDER HELD IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

The Congressional investigation committee has voted 23-17, along party lines, to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

A full vote of Congress to occur next week if they can get the Speaker of the House, Cry-Baby Boehner, off the golf course.

Romney Expected To Spend $1.2 Billion

The Obama campaign has told the Washington Post that they expect Romney, the GOP, and friendly Super PAC's to spend $1.2 billion in the upcoming election. They also claim that they are now being outspent by a ratio of three to one in some battleground states. The breakdown of the expected expenditures is; $200 million on commercials directly from Romney, $150 million from Restore Our Future, the pro-Romney super PAC, $200 million from American Crossroads, $400 million from Americans for Prosperity, $100 million from the Republican National Committee, $100 million from the Chamber of Commerce and another $75 million from other assorted conservative groups.
It could be that this off-the-record crying jag to the Post is intended to prompt Obama supporters to dig deeper and I'm reluctant to believe anything this campaign says on or off the record. Most likely Obama will have enough money to get his message out but down ballot candidates for the House and Senate might feel the pinch. Late in the campaign throwing a wad of cash in a hotly contested race can yield a nice return. Almost for certain Obama will score another first. He will be the first incumbent president to be outspent by his rival.

Horses, Horse's Asses and Lawrence O'Donnell

"Take it from me, I’m not horsing around. These guys taking pot shots at Ann Romney are horse’s asses." says Neil Cavuto himself a victim of multiple sclerosis. Clever Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC seems to find a great deal of knee slapping humor in Mrs Romney's infirmity. As many of you know Ann Romney is an avid equestrian but you may not have known, as I did not, that there is some therapeutic value in horseback riding for some MS sufferers such as improvement in balance, emotional functioning, pain and muscle stiffness. Now that the leftists such as O'Donnell can no longer pick on poor Trig Palin or Dick Cheney as they have faded from public site, they have found a new victim with a medical condition that they find laughable. I hope hell is hot enough for these vile and repugnant, horse asses.

More Democrats Will Skip the Convention

It seems a bit mean but sometimes Democrats get that way. It's not as if they are all doing it but the list is longer than it was two days ago when I blogged that three Democrats from West Virginia, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, Senator Joe Manchin, and Congressman Nick Rahall would skip the Democratic convention in Charlotte. Then Congressman Mark Critz of Pennsylvania's 12 district discovered he had a previous engagement and / or is changing oil in the family car that week or something to the effect he has more important things to do than listen to one more Obama speech. Anyway count him out and he'll catch up to the gang in DC. Readers will remember he was elected to Jack Murtha's seat which was redrawn until he only has about 30 percent of his original district left. He comes from that part of western Pennsylvania where Obama noted that the people cling to their religion and guns and Obama probably polls worse than bubonic there.

Moving up the Appalachian range into New York two Democrats who won special Congressional elections, Bill Owens and Kathy Hochul have also elected to put their personal careers ahead of the President's need for an fawning audience. "He just has a packed schedule back home," said an Owen spokesman.

"I guarantee that my time will be better spent meeting the farmers, small business owners and other people who put me here," sniffed Hochul. Right, dear, everyone's time would be better spent out of earshot of Obama but would you say that if he were white?

Come on Democrats, if a Republican Congressman skipped the State of the Union Speech it would be because Obama is the first black president besides that farmers and hardware store owners are boring and the whole country knows it. God, what goes through that woman's mind? I mean if the kids at Cuyahoga Community College can put up with Obama every year it's only fair professional Democrats should have to listen to him once every four years. We don't hear that the students have to go talk to farmers every time Obama shows up.

On the hand, Obama was MIA in Wisconsin.

Vagina monologues in Michigan

  So there's this bad behavior involving the word "vagina" going on up in the Michigan. 
  To hear the Dems tell it, Dem women were silenced for defending women's health told to shut up because they were behaving badly in the Michigan House.
  Basically here's what happened. Anybody can open an abortion clinic in Michigan.
  Anybody.
  Body parts and dead babies have been found in trash bins; the only thing the law stated was that the body had to be treated with something like formaldehyde to prevent it from smelling.
  Or something.
  So babies were found in trash bins. Here's a bit of info on the discovery:

The story of finding aborted babies and private medical records in the dumpsters ofMichigan abortion mills would seem to be growing old.
But this time legislative action will come of it. 

On February 27 pro-lifer Chris Veneklase found the aborted remains of 17 babies in medical ziplock bags, with the names of their mothers labeled on the outside, in a dumpster at the Womans Choice abortion mill in Lansing. (See photo above, names redacted.)

  So they're trying to pass this bill in Michigan to prevent this kind of behavior and increase the restrictions (which liberals usually want) of who can actually run one.
  So these 2 liberal Democrat women get up in front of the House, distribute illicit literature and scream something about men getting out of their vaginas.
  So Daily Kos sends out screamers claiming women are being discriminated against, men are trying to prevent them from being healthy, blah, blah, blah.
  The WaPo goes into a diatribe about why the word "vagina" offended people and the subsequent event where the offended (aren't they always?) liberal women House members read the Vagina Monologues.
  Quickly abortionists from around the country descend on the Michigan House to protest the 1 day suspension of speech awarded to the 2 liberal women.
  Problem is that even a Democrat House member was offended by their breaking of House rules and behavior. 
  Problem is that these women behaved unprofessionally.
  Problem is that there really is a problem with the abortion industry in Michigan.
  Problem is that pounds and pounds of personal health records of women are being discovered in dumpsters outside abortion clinics.
  Essentially the House bill is about reforming the abortion industry in Michigan for pubic health purposes and for women's health. I mean, if these clinics will dump babies bodies into dumpsters, how careful are they going to be with the women they work on?
  In the WJR discussion yesterday with Frank Beckmann, I believe it was mentioned that you don't even have to be a doctor to run an abortion clinic in Michigan.
  This argument is not about women's health.
  It's about lawlessness. The society has to have boundaries, one of which is that we try to maintain proper decorum, even with the dead.
  It's about decency.
  And it's about women's health and the belief that some standards have to be maintained, even in abortion environments.

Trending: Barack Obama morphing into Nixon

  Congratulations, Barack Hussein Obama.
  If you wanted the main stream media to continue ignoring Fast and Furious, you should probably have surrendered the documents requested concerning the murder of 300 Mexicans and at least 1 US border agent with weapons intentionally released into the wild to criminals via the ATF division.
  But now that you've exerted "executive privilege" to prevent Congress from having eyes on "your" business, it will be harder to act like this isn't the scandal that it is. It will be harder to avert their eyes from the covert and illegal activities of your favorite POTUS.
  Congrats, BO, the first POTUS to admit he maintains a "kill list."
  Your most scandalous scandal will most likely finally make the front pages of America's Pravda-esque sheets of newsprint.
  But there's one big difference.
  At least nobody was murdered under Nixon's watch.

Fast & Furious; Executive Cover Up?

I, and other writers on this blog have compared Fast and Furious to Watergate and this morning Obama, by claiming executive privilege for the subpoenaed Justice Department documents, drove that point home. The Supreme Court has drawn very clear and very narrow boundaries on executive privilege. Basically executive privilege is limited to matters of vital national interest and personal conversations of the president and top White House aides. Remember Karl Rove did not seek executive privilege in the Valerie Plame investigation.

Holder has put himself in a box by claiming that the White House had no involvement in F&F and now Obama, by his claim of executive privilege has closed the box. If the White House did know of F&F Holder had better be looking up Roger Clement's lawyers because he's in the same predicament except his remarks are on C-Span's video tape. If Obama didn't know his claim of executive privilege is spurious. As Brit Hume remarked almost a year ago: "This has the smell of cover up all over it". Deja vu!

 

Executive Privilege -- Fast and Furious (Update)

Here it is, Wednesday morning, and Eric Holder, US Attorney General and his Department of Justice, have been awarded Executive Privilege by Obama in matters concerning the Congressional investigation of said Mr. Holder and his department's sale of guns to Mexican drug cartels.

Coincidentally, this is also THE day that Mr. Holder is facing contempt of Congress charges.  

The Executive Privilege maneuver is an attempt by the White House to prevent these contempt charges.  Executive Privilege deals with correspondence that Holder had with the Anointed One and the White House.  For eighteen months, Holder has denied any knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious and, therefore, the White House had no knowledge.  I guess this clears the air.  The White House did know and may have possibly directed the operation.

Whether this new development will stop Congress from seeking contempt charges remains to be seen.  Standby for further updates.

Changing the Debate to Immigration Doesn't Help Obama

It's just more razzle dazzle from the Obama campaign but it has filed a complaint with the federal election commission to force the PAC Crossroads GPS to disclose a list of its donors. Razzle dazzle because it knows Crossroads won't comply with a FEC ruling without a court fight and legal precedent is on its side. PAC's are just a line on Obama's long list of enemies, big pharma, big banks, big insurance, coal, oil, that serve as props in his political theater. Yes, the Obama campaign would love to know who was on Crossroads donor list so it could intimidate the donors but it knows also the complaint will be fruitless.

Speaking of razzle dazzle how's Dream Act Lite working out for Obama? Almost a week later in the Gallup daily tracking poll both candidate's numbers are the same 46 Romney, Obama 45. In the Rasmussen poll Obama actually slipped one point and Romney gained a point. Romney now leads 48 to Obama's 44. If we concede last week's assault on the constitution helps Obama among Hispanics we are entitled to ask which Hispanics.

Immigration isn't even an issue among Cuban Americans in Florida who vote overwhelmingly Republican. The huge, largely Democratic New York Puerto Rican voting block is one, going to vote for him anyway, two, are not in a competitive state, three, Puerto Ricans are already American citizens who have no sectional stake in immigration policy. Romney is not going to carry California any so any incremental advantage Obama gained doesn't add to his bottom line. There maybe some incremental advantage to Obama in Colorado and New Mexico but that remains to be seen. In the meantime undecided white voters in the battleground states have one more reason not to vote Democratic.

O's press conferences are a joke

  Why do we even play this game of news conferences? Obama calls on preordained reporters. He has a list. Are they reading questions the Obama administration submitted to them? This is the way the conferences go, which is why he became so angry when Daily Caller reporter queried him.
  So here's Obama saying that politics stops at the water's edge and that should stop politicians from criticizing each other overseas.
  Then he proceeds to condescendingly smirk and discuss Romney's ignorance on some world matter, like HE hasn't made a mess of things all over the world, apparently forgetting that HE is standing in Mexico criticizing his "opponent" at the time.
  It's inconceivable that we're watching that Howdy Doody discuss the debts of Europe and how he's created millions of new jobs in this country, how we've had 24 weeks of growth ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN REVISED every week?
  And did it occur to the prick John Kerry that the reason he was chosen to represent Romney in debate practice was because Obama's trying to frame Romney as an arrogant, white out of touch elitist who looks down his nose at the little guy?
  Too bad. Nobody's quite as "good" as that as John Kerry, who, btw, fought in Vietnam.
  Bill O'Reilly's right about one thing.
  That was a really, really boring press conference.

Mr. President: Your ego is showing

  Another day, another Obama biography.
  This one, the Maraniss biography, dispels 9 fictions that Obama has created about himself to enhance his story among the unimaginative.
  What's amusing about #9 is that a friend of mine (an in the know friend) told me almost a year ago that Obama was terrible at basketball. This is not something you can fudge.
  When you look at the pictures of Obama on a bike or throwing a baseball, it's pretty clear there's some kind of, um, problem there.
  Anyway here's the list without the details, which are found over at Buzzfeed entitled 9 Tall Tales From Obama's Memoir:

1. Obama's grandfather wasn't tortured and imprisoned by the British.
2. Obama's stepfather wasn't killed by the Dutch in a bid for freedom.
3. A woman Obama writes about as a symbol for Black pride and independence was, well, white.
4. A racial incident was incorrectly attributed in the book.
5. Obama claimed he broke up with a girlfriend because she was white. However the next girlfriend was also white.
6. Obama's Choom gang were not 'disaffected' but popular students.
7. Obama deleted 2 white roommates from his life's story.
8. Obama's mother left his father; the opposite of what he wrote.
9. Obama claimed he wasn't allowed to play because he played Black basketball but his b-ball coach coached White basketball. In truth, he sucked at basketball.

  It becomes obvious, at this point, that the hyperbole and exaggerations in the biographies were intended to aggrandize Obama's Authentic Black Experience in the Mean World of White People.
  Sound familiar?
  An easy parallel to Obama's ego problem is the Daily Mail article that shows numerous pictures of Obama being "cool" again, the lament that he has uttered to his staff recently that he's missing in recent years. 
  Here's Obama dancing with Mooch.
  Here's Obama praying, hands held in a prayer circle.
  Here's Obama, concentrating on shooting pool.
  Here's Obama trying to throwing a football up into the ceiling.
  Here's Obama talking with world leaders, standing in a power position over them while they sit.
  Guess all those adoring halo pictures aren't enough.
  These are recent releases, obviously timed to make Howdy Doody look more presidential.
  Good luck with that.

Deb Fischer Opens Huge Lead Over Bob Kerry

Deb Fischer, the come from nowhere winner of the Nebraska Republican Senate primary has, according to her web site opened a huge lead over former Senator Bob Kerry. A Rasmussen poll finds her leading the former Senator by 18 points, 56 to 38 percent. I guess this horrible ad is good enough to win with.

Andrea Mitchell Has No Apology for Romny Edit

Yeah, it was just time pressure that forced MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell to air a selectively edited video of a Mitt Romney. Mitchell refused to acknowledge the the editing or offer an apology.

 

Asians Are Fastest Growing Ethnic Group

So much for the conventional wisdom that Hispanics are the fastest growing immigrant group. According to a new Pew study, an analysis of census data, the new immigrants frequently arrive here reasonably well off, worse yet, most of them arrive here legally. Supposedly they lean Democrat but they clearly are here because of the opportunity offered by a free enterprise America. The political implications of this are not really clear at this point but so much for the Democrat's attempt to grab onto newest wave of wretched refuse at our teeming shore. The Democrats have so invested in racial politics that they would be hard pressed to include Asians in their big tent. I suspect Asians already know they have no future in the Democratic Party. Neither Bobby Jindal nor Nikki Haley could have ever been elected to governor in their respective states no matter what their political convictions. Party leaders would argue that Asians hadn't " paid their dues", didn't understand discrimination, and anyway it was the blacks or Hispanics turn for that seat. Considering the ethnic slurs regarding Asians we occasionally coming from Joe Biden and Congresswoman Linda Sanchez making inroads into the Asian community may be a heavy lift for the Democratic Party.

Creating Slums Through Foreclosure Transformation or Every City Can Become a Newark

It's getting harder and harder to overstate the corruption in blue state Democratic parties. New Jersey provides a sterling example. An odious bill called The New Jersey Residential Foreclosure Transformation Act, introduced in the New Jersey Senate by two Democrats would set up a state agency to buy up housing that has been in foreclosure for 45 days or more. The vacant house would then be designated "affordable housing" for thirty years thereby reducing the local municipality's tax revenue, wrecking the neighborhood, and making Governor Chris Christie the world's largest slumlord in one felt swoop . No doubt banks like the idea. One suspects that Chris Christie is destined to become Attorney General in a Romney administration and this bill won't do much to enhance his resume. The New Jersey Star Ledger, obviously a big fan of political corruption and run down neighborhoods calls it "a promising and creative approach". Who writes their editorials? Snooki?

Operation Fast and Furious (Update)

(Update 18:08 Tues.)  After a short meeting tonight lasting about 20 minutes, Congressman Issa and Eric Holder, Attorney General have reached an impasse.  Unless something changes between now and tomorrow, Congress will vote to hold Holder in contempt of Congress.

Today, Tuesday, is the day that Congressman Issa has agreed to meet with Eric Holder, Attorney General. 

After months of stonewalling Congress, Holder, under the threat of Contempt was ordered to provide the 140,000 documents that his department had been withholding concerning the sales of guns by the ATF to the Mexican drug cartels. The botched caper, known as Operation Fast and Furious (Gunwalker), has led to the deaths of two Americans and at least three hundred Mexicans. What agreement, if any, reached today will determine the fate of Mr. Holder. 

On another front, the National Border Patrol Council — the union that represents 16,000 Border Patrol agents around the country — demanded Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation over Operation Fast and Furious on Monday.

Press doing its best to beat Pravda

  The media is on track to compete with Pravda in their selective editing, reportage of reinforcement of only their own points of view and protective defense of the most inept POTUS in the history of the republic.
  Here's a video of Andrea Mitchell and that Chris Cillizza person Rush was ranting about yesterday.


  It's really too much that these two giggle like Heckle and Jeckle hoping that Romney's having his Bush scanner moment; instead they've been caught taking Romney's words out of order and context, something that Colbert is so good at. Who knew that MSNBC is an extension of the Colbert Report?
  Comedy gold.
  But when even Politico calls you out for lying and misrepresenting, you know you're in trouble. There's even a nod to a conservative blogger in the Politico article:

The MSNBC clip feeds into the narrative, beloved by some on the left, that Romney is a 1950's throwback. After the clip cut, Mitchell and MSNBC contributor Chris Cillizza broke out into laughter -- which is understandable, given that they both had been led to believe that Romney was wowed by a simple machine. In fact, what Romney found so "amazing" was the discord between private sector innovation and public sector bureaucracy. 

  Here's some of what Rush said yesterday about Cilizza and his enamored writing about POTUS:

Well, Chris Cillizza, Democrat frontman, yesterday in the Washington Post: "Can Any President Succeed in Today’s Political World?"  It's so mean out there and it's so partisan out there that, you know, I don't think any president could actually govern anymore because it's so, so mean.  

Here's how he starts his story.  "Lost in the chatter about whether President Obama will win a second term in November..." See, they admit that's the chatter, whether Obama will win a second term.  "Lost in the chatter about whether President Obama will win a second term in November is an even bigger -- and perhaps even more important -- question..."  Can you believe the Drive-Bys say there's something more important than whether or not Obama will win a second term?  What, pray tell, might that be?  Well, let's read further.  

"Perhaps an even more important question is: Is it possible for a president -- any president -- to succeed in the modern world of politics?" Are these guys throwing it?  It's impossible.  It's impossible for poor President Kardashian to govern. It's so mean out there.  "Consider this: We are in the midst of more than a decade-long streak of pessimism about the state of the country..."  No, we're not.  The streak's three-and-a-half years.  Maybe four at the outside.  There wasn't any kind of pessimism about the country in 2005 and 2006.  The pessimism began in 2007 when Pelosi and the gang took over the House and started implementing their policies.  The pessimism began when Obama was elected, then did the stimulus, then did health care, started doing damage to the economy, that's when the pessimism began.  There wasn't any pessimism before.  Nothing out of the ordinary.   

  The belief that the job of POTUS is too big for any one man was something that liberals lamented when Jimmy Carter was POTUS; hm. Strange resemblance there.
  James Taranto at BOTW delivers a hilarious column on why journalists suddenly find that the job is too big when their guy just can't handle the responsibilities of an admittedly significant job:

Listen closely and you can hear the sounds of slogging echo across the decades. They emanate not just from the failed president but from sympathetic journalists trying to absolve him of the responsibility for his failure. 

We learned in the 1980s that the presidency was still big. It was Jimmy Carter who turned out to be small.

  It's really tres amusant that liberals cannot accept the fact that their guys are, well, wieners: incompetent boobs so swollen with their own importance and confidence that they can't quite do the job.
