Kagan’s Fortune Grew by 40% While She Was Solicitor General
12:04 pm, May 20th, 2010 on Politics, supreme court

Smiling all the way to the bank
Elena Kagan, Obama’s High Court nominee, massively increased her net worth while in office as BHO’s Solicitor General over the past 12 months.
Despite taking a pay cut from $450k as dean of HLS to $160 as SG, her personal fortune is now at $1,762,519, up 40% from last year.
Generally, people don’t make this much money in one year being a full-time SG with an average salary, but I suppose Kagan is special. Or, perhaps, her asset manager is not getting the credit he deserves.
It is time, however, for another juicy scandal.
Gordon Brown Out: Cameron is New UK PM

PM Cameron
Gordon Brown’s slow-dying Labour administration has finally kicked the bucket.
It is official – Tory David Cameron is the new Prime Minister of the UK, in coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
This finally brings 13 years of destructive policies to an end. We shall now see how bad (ie, Tony Blairish) David Cameron truly turns out to be.
Why Kosovo Should be Independent
Once you commit racially-motivated genocide as the Serbians did with almost every minority group in Yugoslavia, you can’t expect any of those groups to remain in a state under Serbian domination. More and more details are slowly coming out about the secret warfare waged against Kosovar civilians by the Serbians in the late ’90s. In the latest, another mass grave of Kosovar Albanians has been discovered in the Serbian town of Raska, close to the border with Kosovo.
More than 250 innocent civilians were brutally massacred during the 1998-99 conflict and then buried:
…beneath a building whose foundations had been deliberately constructed to hide the site…
Of course the perpetrators will probably never be found and, even if they are, they are more likely to die of natural causes than from capital punishment. A good example is the linchpin Slobodan Milosevic.
Kosovo declared independence in February 2008 and has been recognized by 68 states – it is time for it to gain complete international recognition.

She’s Gay Too?!
8:01 pm, May 10th, 2010 on Gay Marriage, supreme court
It appears Elena Kagan, Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, might be gay. Well, it’s high time we had a lesbian on the High Court. Can we get live feeds online?
Recently Elected GOP Governor of VA Wants to Raise Taxes

No Taxes: Ha!
So, Bob McDonnell, the recently elected governor of Virginia, is trying to impose a stealth tax by establishing tolls on the I-95.
Isn’t this guy a big, big, big, big darling of the Tea Party?!
And, didn’t he almost pledge to cut taxes and not raise them once elected?
Obama Nominates Big Donor to Supreme Court
3:32 pm, May 10th, 2010 on supreme court
What can I say, but it seems too obvious that Obama’s latest High Court nominee is a die-hard Democrat and a staunch Obamamaniac. Her political contributions would put even Michele Obama to shame:
| Recipient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Barack Obama | $6,600 |
| John Kerry | $1,500 |
| Al Gore | $1,000 |
| Democratic National Committee | $1,000 |
| Hillary Clinton | $750 |
| Judith Feder | $500 |
| Ira S. Shapiro | $450 |
| Rahm Emanuel | $250 |
| Jon Paul Jennings | $250 |
| Total | $12,300 |
Can the current administration even try to be a little less partisan?
NHS Spends 10,000 Pounds on Establishing Hilter’s Mass Appeal

NHS: Burning Money
The British health bureaucracy, that is being emulated here in the U.S. under Obamacare, just spend 10,000 freaking pounds on asking its employees if they thought Hitler was cool. On top of that, the employees were:
…then asked to rate Hitler in comparison with their own chief executive
Isn’t that 10k better spent on providing health care to women like the case here?
Do we still want Obamacare in the States?
Obamacare Will Create 560lbs Monsters

The NHS Caused This
Britain’s NHS which controls almost every aspect of a patient’s health-care regime only does something when…
We will always review a person’s care needs following a spell in hospital.
Quite often, a person’s circumstances have changed so we routinely carry out a review to ensure an appropriate care plan is in place.
So, the government bureaucrats need you to be hospitalized before they will review your health situation. You might have become a 560lbs monster in the meantime but they don’t care.
The woman in this case had been struck by several debilitating illnesses over a short period of time and had to be extracted from her house by a team of firemen when she needed to visit the hospital. All this while she was under NHS monitoring and care.
Why do we want to emulate this crappy program in the U.S.? Repeal Obamacare!
£323K Armored Limo: That’s What I Want!
10:23 am, May 10th, 2010 on Miscellaneous
Those enviro-fascist pink-commies can go to hell. Conquest Vehicles of Toronto has created quite possibly the coolest SUV limo ever… presenting the Knight XV:

The Knight XV
It sells for a mere £ 323K or $ 489K and is quite a bit bigger than the Hummer H2.
Bennett Out? Tragedy for UT and the Senate

Bennett: Another Tea Party Victim
Senator Bob Bennett of Utah has just been defeated in the UT primary election. A man who gets an 84 rating from the ACU has to be considered pretty darn conservative, but that’s just not enough for the radical Tea Party.
Will the Tea Party do for the GOP that the UKIP did for the Tories in England – cost the mainstream conservatives a good 10 seats in the parliament?

The Worst Recession in a Lifetime and Obama Passes Heathcare
4:31 pm, May 7th, 2010 on Economy
NYT has put out a nice graphic comparing this recession to previous ones. A simple explanation of the curves is the deeper the curve, the greater the loss of jobs and the deeper the recession.

Healthcare or Jobs?
As even an idiot can tell, this current recession has been the deepest among all the previous ones covered by the graphic. It is also the second longest already and we’ve only reached the bottom just now. Additionally, the NYT has tried its best to portray GWB’s entire first term as a horrible recession and most of his second too (the first recession ended in 2003) … there has to be a limit to liberal media propaganda.
Obama has been president for 16 months now – month 13-29 of the current recession above – and what has he done to ameliorate the situation? He passed health-care reform that doesn’t come into force for another 4 years. What a waste of a good opportunity!!

Foolproof Contraceptive? It’s Called Abstinence
3:36 pm, May 7th, 2010 on Abortion, Liberalism
Seattle Times had an article a few days back on the search for the perfect contraceptive, because, apparently, the pill isn’t good enough:
But despite the freedom in career and family planning the pill extended to so many women and couples, it has not fulfilled one big hope. Fifty years on, about half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended and 22 percent of pregnancies end in abortion.
The only foolproof and perfect contraceptive that’s available to each and everyone – men and women for that matter - is called abstinence. M-W defines it as:
1 : voluntary forbearance especially from indulgence of an appetite or craving or from eating some foods
2 a : habitual abstaining from intoxicating beverages b : abstention from sexual intercourse
We already have the tool at our ready disposal to prevent all the problems mentioned above. But, we don’t want to have anything to do with it. Go figure.

Jokes Apart
UPDATE: CNN wants a male birth control pill … that’s also called abstinence.
Labour Finally Out of Power in the UK
12:27 pm, May 7th, 2010 on Europe
It has been a long 12 years since Tony Blair embarked on his mission to destroy British tradition, economy and culture with his disastrous far left social policies and unilateral foreign policy.
Labour’s rule in Westminster is finally coming to an end. The Tories have won 306 seats and will most likely form a government with the Liberal Democrats.
Hopefully, Cameron will prove to be a bit conservative, unlike Blair/Brown who were hell bent on disbanding any bit of British monarchical tradition still left.

Ban Pakistanis from the U.S.

The Bastard
While I don’t usually advocate targeting any particular group based on race or nationality, but Pakistanis have proved to be the enemy #1 for all Americans.
Almost all terrorists attacking us have had some sort of ties to Pakistan. The most recent being Faisal Shahzad who tried bombing New York. Pakistan’s number one exports would have to be terrorists and CFR’s report from last year outlines the various groups and their reasons for choosing terrorism and Pakistan. And, it’s not just the U.S. – Pakistanis are also attacking India and other countries.
Pakistanis should be subject to additional security; any U.S. citizen visiting or traveling from Pakistan, even if it’s just for transit, should be subject to additional security; all Pakistanis in the U.S. who are not citizens should be placed under surveillance and additional security measures; all U.S. citizens of Pakistani origin should also be subject to additional security.
Additionally, the U.S. should suspend aid to Pakistani unless Zardari can clean up his act. While this may have negative consequences for the government’s stability, drastic action has to be taken to prevent further terrorist attacks. Just arresting folks in Pakistan for terrorism can not do any more.
We can’t have Pakistanis constantly attacking or trying to attack us without consequences. This has to end.
Bangladesh: Jobs or Coconut Trees?
12:38 pm, May 3rd, 2010 on Economy, Liberalism
For one of the poorest countries in the world, the answer seems obvious. Coconut trees don’t provide jobs. Ship breaking yards do, besides the immense amounts of cheap steel and other materials.
But shop-keeper Abul Kalam is worried more about finding a coconut to hold on to when the next storm comes around. Has he ever wondered whether a decent paying job at a ship-yard could earn him enough money to build a proper house? Perhaps, he then wouldn’t have to worry about all the coconut trees lost to the ship yards. Sour grapes?
This is just like the liberal attitude pertaining to sweatshops – those workers can starve to death but will not be allowed to earn a few dollars a day.
That AZ Rancher Was Killed by an American
12:05 pm, May 3rd, 2010 on immigration

Who Killed You, Boy?
Robert Krentz, the martyr for the cause of banning illegal immigration and a dead rancher from Arizona, was apparently murdered by an American and not a Mexican as was previously speculated.
Government officials and the police have been investigating American suspects. The obviously fake single footprints leading straight to Mexico, it seems, have failed in misleading the po-po to some illegal immigrant schmuck, despite Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever’s previous guarantees:
Given the location, (I) guarantee it was not somebody on their way to Walmart to go shopping
and,
We cannot sit by while our citizens are terrorized, robbed and murdered by ruthless and desperate people who enter our country illegally
If the murderer is indeed an American, Dever should be fired and sued for unnecessarily fanning the flames of racism and anti-immigration policies.
MSNBC Out of the Closet; CNN Still Hiding
11:53 am, May 3rd, 2010 on Liberalism, Media
MSNBC President Phil Griffin has finally admitted that his channel has a far-left leaning, claiming:
Fox News Channel is “a big force. You have to be aware of what they’re saying … That’s our goal. … I don’t think we have quite the passionate support that Fox does. Some shows do, but as a network we don’t. Our prime time is getting there. But that’s what we want to get.
While MSNBC has finally admitted its liberal bias and wants to do it hardcode, CNN, on the other hand, is hiding even deeper inside the closet. Jon Klein of CNN feels:
Our mission, our mandate, is to deliver the best journalism in the world: firsthand reporting, incisive analysis, no bias, no agenda … That puts us in the world of cable news in a category of one. Our traditional competitors have abandoned the field.
Yeah, right.
