A FEW WELL-PLACED DIGS... IN THE KISHKES

A FEW WELL-PLACED DIGS... IN THE KISHKES

BY: Norm Liebmann

President Obama has finally decided to send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. The question is does he intend to give them guns? After all the vacillating Obama they may they decide to change the name of that country to Flimflamistan.

Chelsea Clinton is getting married which means some poor bastard is going to have Hillary Clinton as his mother-in-law. And we thought water-boarding was cruel and inhuman punishment.

Doesn’t Obama make the case that Lincoln freed the slaves once too often?

This past Thanksgiving Helen Thomas gave thanks for having a black President. Perhaps this coming Xmas she’ll get her wish for a black Santa Claus so she can find a switchblade knife in her Christmas stocking. Thomas proves once again she can’t get by on her looks. (After you said about Helen Thomas "It’s alive!" you’ve covered the terrain.)

The answer to the Obama Health care program is to take care of your body on the off chance that you may want to use it again someday.

Levi Johnston, Sara Palin’s nemesis, is going to shed his clothes for Playgirl Magazine. It’s a case of full frontal stupidity.

When they designated the site for the upcoming environmental site as Crapenhagen they said it all. The presence of Obama in the northern countries might prompt the inhabitants to rename the area Scumdinavia.

Reliable signs that global warming is a hoax have been confirmed by the Sanitation Department who keep finding unicorn droppings in Al Gore’s driveway. Along those lines it’s been suggested that his publisher change the name of his book to "Al Gore: An Inconvenient Fraud".

More one-liners than you can shake a stick at, Mr. Liebmann owns that stick.

HEADLINE POTPOURRI #11... ENGLISH BALLS, ECO-SNITCHES & FILIPINO WHORES

HEADLINE POTPOURRI #11... ENGLISH BALLS, ECO-SNITCHES & FILIPINO WHORES

BY: Frederick Meekins

British Balls calls for mandatory sex education. The Secretary of Education there has announced that students over the age of 15 can no longer be exempt from compulsory instruction regarding human procreation and physical relationships. The parents of students failing to report to these classes could be fined or prosecuted.

Rosie O'Donnel denounced Glenn Beck as a carnival barker. If that's the case, then as a lesbian, wouldn't she be the bearded lady?

Cheryl Crowe is to be at National Christmas tree lighting. Wonder if this witch flew into town on a single sheet of toilet paper.

Are you morally obligated to obey a command from government that is not based upon any established law? That is the conundrum faced by a Perkaise, Pennsylvania woman who received a call from local authorities asking her not to dry her laundry on the clothesline and anonymous written threats from neighbors saying the practice made the COMMUNITY look like trailer trash. If these liberals are such prudes that they can’t stand the sight of someone’s unmentionables dangling in the breeze on private property, perhaps they should go back to the inner city slums they fled from even though they will continue to insist upon how much they embrace diversity.

The entire fiasco leading to the Kelo decision may have been for no other reason than to show that the power existed to do it. After demolishing the homes snatched from their owners, Pfizer has announced it has changed its mind and no longer wants to expand its complex on the disputed parcel.

With the government ready to seize control of a significant percentage of the U.S. economy in the form of pending healthcare reform legislation, it seems representatives of every form known of tyranny want their specific cut. And spiritual charlatans are no exception. Believing pain and sickness do not really exist, Christian Scientists want to be reimbursed for praying away something that is not even there to begin with.

A couple at a Philadelphia restaurant was hauled away in handcuffs for refusing to pay the mandatory tip over lousy service. If it is required, it should not be called a "tip" but rather a tax or a surcharge. Often the onus about tips is placed on the customer in terms that, without such financial outlays, the laborers in such establishments could end up being economically deprived. Why shouldn't this be the proprietor's responsibility? Say what you want, but one never has to put up with this nonsense in WalMart or MacDonalds.

OneNewsNow.com reports that Sodomite terrorists are threatening violence against churches and Pro-life leaders if Obama doesn't live up to the expectations of gays and lesbians. The online comments have be forwarded to the FBI for investigation.

Muslims in 21st Century America: Arrogant, Righteous and Determined

Frosty Wooldridge -- Muslims in 21st Century America: Arrogant, Righteous and Determined

Part 8: Conversion, murders in Seattle, Koran verses advocate violence

As political correctness allows and emboldens Muslims to continue their onslaught into the United States, few Americans see our predicament and fewer still speak up.

While liberals and academics, living in gated communities and ivory towers, shout to the rooftops the wonders of multiculturalism—a not-so-silent war gathers beneath the surface of our seemingly peaceful society.

Today, the U.S. Congress continues importing 100,000 legal immigrants every 30 days. That equals 1.2 million mostly poor, illiterate and unskilled people from third world countries that compete for limited welfare dollars and jobs. At the same time, 14 million U.S. citizens cannot obtain a job, 13.4 million American children live below the poverty line, and finally, 35 million American citizens subsist on food stamps.

Not once will you hear of any debate on the absurdity of adding 100,000 immigrants monthly to our already overwhelmed civilization. As reported in an earlier column, the U.S. suffers 40 million people that cannot read (“America filling up with dumb people” www.newswithviews.com) and 52 million Americans that cannot read past the 4th grade level. Results of poverty and illiteracy:

Unwed mothers birth tens of thousands of babies on public welfare. Black gangs attack white citizens in Denver, Colorado where I live. Hispanic gangs in Los Angeles rule the streets; so much so, police officers do not dare enter gang turf for fear of being executed. As their crimes accelerate, our national prison population, now at 2.3 million inmates, grows commensurately. While in prison, Islam appeals to and converts more and more minorities.

How many minions of the mainstream media reported on Maurice Clemmons' alleged conversion to the "Religion of Peace" while serving time at Cummins prison in Arkansas?

I guess Huckabee didn't know about it either.

Greenhouse Gas Observatories Downwind from Erupting Volcanoes

American Thinker: Greenhouse Gas Observatories Downwind from Erupting Volcanoes

BY: Andrew Walden

Problems in the collection of atmospheric CO2 data parallel other absurdities in the global warming fraud. The Climategate scandal is exposing the massive and systematic fraud behind the fabrication of the worldwide temperature record necessary to make the case for global warming. But what about the record of atmospheric CO2? 

The U.S. NOAA openly admits to producing a CO2 record which "contains no actual data." NOAA temperature stations sited in ways that artificially inflate temperatures have been exposed over the past two years. CO2 observatories have similar flaws. Two of the five NOAA "baseline" stations are downwind from erupting volcanoes. All five are subject to localized or regional CO2 sources.

Read More ...


Clever or stupid? The localized readings are obviously extrapolated to show a global-wide influx of CO2. Clever of them to set up the sites in Hawaii where the temperature doesn't have a wide variable at sea level. These aren't the only sites where there is a localized CO2 source.

A wonderfully true and uplifting Christmas Story

A wonderfully true and uplifting Christmas Story

BY: Marie Jon

As the story goes, it was about this time of the year when police officers received complaints about an apartment at the edge of the city. When they went to investigate, they came upon a flophouse. What they found inside was dank darkness. The sight that met their eyes was a bit atrocious. At one time, the place had been a dance hall. The sparkling globe lights were still clinging to the dilapidated ceiling. Inside, people were strewn across the filth and squalor. They were sleeping off their chosen substance-abuse hangovers. The stench was overwhelming.

The police quickly rounded everyone up. When the case finally came to court, an astounding story came to the surface. One of the derelicts said to the judge, "Your honor, I am an upstanding citizen of the community. I don't use any type of drugs or alcohol. I was in that house merely to take care of others."

The judge investigated the man's claims and found them to be true. His name is of no importance to this story, but the people from the other side of town called him "Father God," because of his compassion and kindness. He paid the rent so that these drug addicts and derelicts would have shelter. However, the man they so admired looked just like everyone else who had been thrown into the slammer.

The law-abiding citizen chose to appear like the others so he could better take care of their needs. And when you give it some thought, that's the same message behind the birth of Christ — "the greatest story ever told":

Huckabee Handed Out Pardons Like Candy

Huckabee Handed Out Pardons Like Candy by Debra J. Saunders on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent

There is no need to tiptoe gingerly around this topic: Maurice Clemmons, who was shot and killed as authorities tried to apprehend him for the shooting deaths of four Washington police officers — is former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's Willie Horton.

Horton, you might recall, is the convicted killer who raped a woman while wrongly released as part of a prison furlough program supported by former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis — thus helping to torpedo the 1988 Democratic presidential nominee's bid for the White House. The Clemmons story likewise should kill any chance of Huckabee winning, should he run in 2012.

Clemmons was 17 in 1989 when he was convicted on a string of felony charges including aggravated robbery, burglary and possession of a gun at a school, and sentenced to a jaw-dropping 108 years. Huckabee told Joe Scarborough's radio show, "If he were a white kid from an upper middle-class family, he would have gotten a lawyer and some counseling. But because he was a young black kid, he got 108 years."

The parole board and a judge supported the release, even though Clemmons had more than two dozen rule violations while in prison, including citations for fighting in 1998 and 1997. Arkansas Department of Correction spokesperson Dina Tyler described Clemmons as a teen who entered prison "angry, aggressive and lacking coping skills," who had outgrown that stage.

Unfortunately, Clemmons had not outgrown his menace-to-society stage. Within a year of his release, he was back in prison on robbery charges.

And once again, Clemmons won parole in 2004.

Ms. Saunders certainly doesn't do any "Tip-toeing around."

Meet Obama's climate 'experts'

Meet Obama's climate 'experts'

By Aaron Klein

Socialists, conspiracy theorists, supporters of spreading wealth


Amid an international climate-change scandal involving hacked e-mails just days before a major U.N. climate summit of world leaders, it is instructive to profile top White House officials who are drafting President Obama's climate policy.

Some of the officials include known supporters of socialism who have advocated using environmental activism to spread America's wealth.

Napolitano warns of homegrown terrorists

Napolitano warns of homegrown terrorists - UPI.com

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Al-Qaida sympathizers within U.S. borders are a threat domestically and abroad, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.

Napolitano, addressing the American Israel Friendship League in New York Wednesday, said a rash of recent domestic arrests should "remove any remaining comfort from the notion that if we fight the terrorists abroad, we won't have to fight them here," The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Of course we will have to fight them here. We probably have as many terrorists living here in the United States as there are in Iran and Afghanistan, thanks to the immigration policies of Clinton,Bush 43 and now Obama. We know the Mosques are full of people who have expressed a desire to subjugate us and file lawsuits every time a Muslim is questioned or stopped in our airports. Start stripping some of their citizenship and deport them.

Scandals in Scandinavia: Time to Cancel IPCC and Withdraw Nobel Prizes From Them and Gore

Scandals in Scandinavia: Time to Cancel IPCC and Withdraw Nobel Prizes From Them and Gore

BY: Dr. Tim Ball

Gored
Al Gore is the only Nobel Prize winner, whose work was ruled politically biased and containing nine major scientific errors by a court (UK) a week before it was awarded. The Nobel Committee should have known. They could argue they’d already made their decision. Problem is there was considerable evidence about the errors easily available long before. Clearly they didn’t do their homework, so their decision was purely political. The Prize should be revoked.

Gore shared his prize with the members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He used their research, but went further. He misused it to achieve the falsehoods that permeate his movie An Inconvenient Truth.  Now we know through the files obtained from the Climatic Research Unit in East Anglia (Climategate), that all the information put in the global arena was falsified, manipulated and deliberately made wrong. Silence of those involved in climategate about Gore’s misuse of their false data tells several stories. They couldn’t point out the error and risk exposure. Like everything they did the end justified the means. Gore was useful. He distracted the mainstream media and kept the global warming pot boiling while they had access to power behind the scenes through the IPCC. He was the buffoon who distracted the audience from the real villains. Again the Nobel committee didn’t do their homework and made a political decision. This Prize should also be revoked.

Dr. Ball makes some good points. Personally I think Al Gore's freedom should be revoked and a closer look at his useful idiots, including the clowns in the congressional circus.

Google 'to start charging for video streaming on YouTube'

Google 'to start charging for video streaming on YouTube' - Telegraph

Google could start charging web users for watching full-length television programmes on YouTube, as it seeks to increase the video-sharing site's revenue potential.

Technology website All Things Digital reports that "preliminary discussions" are taking place in the United States between Google, which owns YouTube, and some of the major television networks.


The move would see viewers charged around $1.99 to watch episodes of their favourite shows online, without any adverts, the day after they were first broadcast on TV. It would put Google in direct competition with Apple, which offers a similar service through its iTunes store.

YouTube has recently started streaming full-length episodes of Channel 4 shows, such The Inbetweeners, online in the UK for free. But viewers have to sit through a break in the middle of the program, as well as pre-roll adverts. And today, Five announced it had signed a deal with YouTube to stream full-length shows, including Neighbours and The Gadget Show, on the video-sharing site.

Read More ...


So what is the problem with this?If you want to watch full length shows on your computer monitor it may cost you if you don't want to sit through commercials.

I don't watch TV shows on my computer, I have satellite service and a large screen TV for that.

It is a good idea, but I am sure there will be some people who will get their panties in a wad.

Ann Coulter : Do Smoking Guns Cause Global Warming, Too? - Townhall.com

As we now know (and by "we" I mean "everyone with access to the Internet"), the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) has just been caught ferociously manipulating the data about the Earth's temperature.

Recently leaked e-mails from the "scientists" at CRU show that, when talking among themselves, they forthrightly admit to using a "trick" to "hide the decline" in the Earth's temperature since 1960 -- as one e-mail says. Still another describes their manipulation of the data thus: "[W]e can have a proper result, but only by including a load of garbage!"

Am I just crazy from the heat or were they trying to deceive us?

Obama, the False Messiah

Obama, the False Messiah

BY: Burt Prelutsky

            When liberals wake up in the morning, what do you think they do first?  Have a cup of coffee and a Danish or check their computers to get their talking points from the White House?  And when they find themselves in a moral bind, do they ask themselves not what would Jesus do, but what would Obama suggest?

 

            Another question that’s been plaguing me is whether Democrats regard inconsistency as their birthright.  Or do they really think that when a GOP congressman calls a liar a liar to his face, it’s a sin worthy of censure and just possibly a good horsewhipping, but when a Democrat, Rep. Alan Grayson, in defense of ObamaCare, insists that Republicans want sick people to die quickly, defends ACORN on the floor of Congress, and, for good measure, calls Linda Robertson, an advisor to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, “a K Street whore,” it’s just frank and robust political speech?



            Speaking of ObamaCare, how essential can it possibly be that Congress immediately passes a bill that won’t even go into effect until 2014, but the president refuses to be rushed into making a decision about a surge in Afghanistan?   I realize that Obama’s IQ slides about 50 points whenever he’s deprived of his beloved teleprompter, but, unlike the nonsense about phantom Americans dying in the streets because of our terrible health care system, surely even he understands that there are actual flesh-and-blood soldiers dying in Afghanistan.  In the meanwhile, Obama takes his own sweet time consulting his Ouija board.  But, then, we all know that members of the military tend to be conservatives, so why should Obama care two figs about their well-being?

 

            Just as a sidebar, doesn’t it seem odd that Garry Trudeau, who went so far as to list the name of every soldier who died in Iraq in his “Doonesbury” comic strip, doesn’t bother mentioning casualties in Afghanistan?  Apparently, war is only evil when it’s being conducted by a Republican president.

Scientists grow pork meat in a laboratory

Scientists grow pork meat in a laboratory - Times Online

BY: Lois Rogers

SCIENTISTS have grown meat in the laboratory for the first time. Experts in Holland used cells from a live pig to replicate growth in a petri dish.

The advent of so-called “in-vitro” or cultured meat could reduce the billions of tons of greenhouse gases emitted each year by farm animals — if people are willing to eat it.

So far the scientists have not tasted it, but they believe the breakthrough could lead to sausages and other processed products being made from laboratory meat in as little as five years’ time.

FTA: "The result was sticky muscle tissue that requires exercise, like human muscles, to turn it into a tougher steak-like consistency."

Until those scientists taste it, I am not too interested. Electric shock applied to the muscle tissue would probably simulate the exercise to toughen it up.

This could be a break-through for "Spam" lovers.

Is this the challenger who will eject Pelosi?

Is this the challenger who will eject Pelosi?

By Chelsea Schilling

A libertarian conservative has declared his plans to "take out Nancy Pelosi" in the 2010 election to stop her from devastating the nation.

John Dennis, a businessman and real-estate investor in California's 8th congressional district, told WND, "I've decided to run because the statist Pelosi agenda will destroy America."

Rep. Pelosi's district covers most of San Francisco, and Democrats have held the seat since 1949. Since first winning the House seat in a 1987 special election, Pelosi, 69, has breezed to re-election 10 times. President Obama received 85 percent of the vote there in 2008.


What gives Dennis hope for 2010?

"I think we can build a very sturdy case for taking out Pelosi," he said. "I find most of the people on the left find that she's not their cup of tea. She engages in a lot of class warfare, and there are a lot of folks on the left who are disaffected by her and disaffected with her. We're going to leverage as many of those relationships as we possibly can."

Read More ...


I don't live in California, if I did and happened to live in San Francisco I would certainly vote for John Dennis.

Mr. Dennis has some good ideas, but I wonder how many of those ideas will appeal to the leftists in District 8, 60 years of backing democrat candidates is going to be difficult to overcome. If the election results are close you can expect a court challenge by Pelosi, and the Judges in that area are just as liberal/left as Pelosi.

2010 is going to be interesting.

Michelle Malkin : All the President's Climategate Deniers - Townhall.com

Michelle Malkin : All the President's Climategate Deniers - Townhall.com

"The science is settled," we've been told for decades by zealous proponents of manmade global warming hysteria. Thanks to an earth-shaking hacking scandal across the pond, we now have mountains of documents from the world's leading global warming advocacy center that show the science is about as settled as a southeast Asian tsunami. You won't be surprised by the Obama administration's response to Climategate.

With pursed lips and closed eyes and ears, the White House is clinging to the old eco-mantra: The science is settled.

Never mind all the devastating new information about data manipulation, intimidation and cult-like coverups to "hide the decline" in global temperatures over the last half-century, they say. The science is settled.


Never mind what The Atlantic's Clive Crook, after wading through the climate science e-mail files of the U.K.'s Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, called the overpowering "stink of intellectual corruption" -- combined with mafia-like suppression of dissent, suppression of evidence and methods, and "plain statistical incompetence" exposed by the document trove. The science is settled.

Never mind the expedient disappearance of mounds of raw weather station data that dissenting scientists were seeking through freedom of information requests from the Climatic Research Unit. The science is settled.

In March, President Obama made a grandiose show of putting "science" above "politics" when lifting the ban on government-funded human embryonic stem cell research. "Promoting science isn't just about providing resources -- it's about protecting free and open inquiry," he said during the signing ceremony. "It's about letting scientists like those who are here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient -- especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda -- and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology."

Obama and his socialist enablers say the science is settled and we mere mortals are supposed to bow to his wishes. How dare we question a former vice-president who was a fellow recipient of the Nobel Prize. Follow the money.

THE PRETENSE OF KNOWLEDGE

Walter E. Williams : The Pretense of Knowledge - Townhall.com

The ultimate constraint that we all face is knowledge -- what we know and don't know. The knowledge problem is pervasive and by no means trivial as hinted at by just a few examples. You've purchased a house. Was it the best deal you could have gotten? Was there some other house you could have purchased that 10 years later would not have needed extensive repairs or was in a community with more likeable neighbors and a better environment for your children? What about the person you married? Was there another person who would have made for a more pleasing spouse? Though these are important questions, the most intelligent answer you can give to all of them is: "I don't know."

Since you don't know the answers, who do you think, here on Earth, is likely to know and whom would you like to make these decisions for you -- Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, George Bush, a czar appointed by Obama or a committee of Washington bureaucrats? I bet that if these people were to forcibly make housing or marital decisions for us, most would deem it tyranny.
