Michael Moore Wants a Job

11:44 pm, March 10th, 2010 on Democraps, Liberalism, Media

The Crazy

Michael Moore has written to President Obama that he wants to replace Rahm Emanuel to “clean up the mess that’s been created around” the President. His recent crap hasn’t been faring well at the box office.

So, I suppose he’s just looking for something to do other than making pathetic and flop movies.

Reid Wants Recess Appointments

5:01 pm, February 10th, 2010 on Democraps, Politics, White House

When Harry Reid & Co. held up dozens of Bush nominees forcing him to recess appoint several of them, including John Bolton, to the UN, liberals were up in arms about Bush’s 171 extra-Senatorial appointments.

Now, that Obama’s nominees are being held back by Republican “obstructionism,” Reid claims:

I mean it’s disgraceful. The Republicans are holding these people up for reasons that have nothing to do with their background, morality [or] competency of these people. … I think, frankly, the President should recess [appoint] all of them. All of them. He has been given very little recognition for the importance of the job that he has trying to find the best people in America to fill this position. No one can say Democrats did this when we were in the minority — we didn’t do this. There were people that were held up, but this something that is beyond the pale.

On video:

Anything that Bush did was Satan’s work. If Obama does the same, it’s the people’s will. Oh, this is why I love Beltway politics.

Obama’s Magic Numbers Game

12:48 pm, January 26th, 2010 on Democraps, Economy, White House

President Barack Obama wants to shave $15 billion from next year’s budget and $250 billion over 10 years. Let’s look at that closely.

The 2011 federal budget will be a colossal $2.713 trillion dollars, up from $2.381 trillion in 2010, according to the GPO[PDF].

$15 billion accounts for, let’s see, 0.55% of the entire budget.

Heck the increase in spending from 2010 to 2011 is 13.9%, which would give the inflation a run for its money. For simplicity’s sake, let’s shave off .55% from 13.9% gives us 13.35%. Or, 13% versus 14% increase.

That’s like saying, I want to buy the $2000 TV but I am not going to pay $20 for the HD antenna.

Who’s he trying to fool?

It Wasn’t Obama … It Was All Martha … No Really

12:28 am, January 21st, 2010 on Democraps, Politics

Even God Doesn't Like Martha

Oh, it’s been only a few days since Martha Coakley was handed down a sweet shove up the ass by Massachusetts voters, the loss is being portrayed as being all her fault…

[campaign aides] described a campaign that was too sure of its own success, that waited too long to call in the cavalry, that made key missteps, including focusing on abortion at the expense of the economy, and that did little to court voters in the communities that led Governor Deval Patrick and President Obama to huge victories.

…Coakley aides made no concerted effort to involve her three primary rivals or their networks and included the Kennedy family in the campaign only after the Kennedys themselves pushed the issue.

Coakley … also lost the new media war, allowing Brown to generate far more attention online … they paid insufficient attention to the bread and butter of political campaigning, such as blanketing the state with signs and getting out and meeting voters.

Not blanketing the state with signs was probably the best thing she actually did. What a waste of money it would have been.

“She came in late, at the last minute, and people were frustrated,’’ said one Democratic activist, who, like most people interviewed, agreed to talk without being named. “They’re not happy with that kind of campaigning. If you get in there early, people feel respected.’’

The lapses were particularly noticeable in minority communities, traditionally bastions of Democratic votes, which did not turn out in high numbers Tuesday.

The election wasn’t a referendum on Obama’s policies. Really.

Obama and the Banks: More Unnecessary Interference

12:08 am, January 21st, 2010 on Democraps, Economy

NYT is reporting:

President Obama on Thursday will publicly propose giving bank regulators the power to limit the size of the nation’s largest banks and the scope of their risk-taking activities, an administration official said late Wednesday.

This kind of interference in the private sector is what the Communists and Socialists do in third world countries to stymie growth and innovation.

Any restriction on bank risk-taking is against the very grain of American innovation. Without risk-taking, where would we be? Would we have any air travel had Teddy Roosevelt, a proponent of progressive ideas himself, restricted any such risk taking?

Banks, as corporations, exist to provide satisfactory returns to their shareholders. Preventing proprietary trading is like preventing Microsoft from making money from its investment activities, such as those highlighted on its website. Obama and Volcker want to stop just this.

No more money making. Banks shall be re-incorporated as 501(c)(3)s.

Martha Coakely: Afghanistan Has No Terrorists

3:48 pm, January 12th, 2010 on Asia, Democraps

U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts feels:

I think we have done what we are going to be able to do in Afghanistan. I think that we should plan an exit strategy. Yes. I’m not sure there is a way to succeed. If the goal was and the mission in Afghanistan was to go in because we believed that the Taliban was giving harbor to terrorists. We supported that. I supported that. They’re gone. They’re not there anymore.

The Taliban wasn’t “giving harbor to terrorists” … the Taliban were the terrorists. I suppose Afghanistan has somehow been magically cleansed of all the Taliban, at least in Coakely’s mind.

Jimmy Carter: The Consummate Politician

12:13 am, December 24th, 2009 on Democraps, Politics

When it was convenient for him to win the Nobel Prize and other accolades, Jimmy Carter would go around criticizing Israel and Jews.

Now that his grandson, Jason Carter, is running for public office from a district, Jimmy has changed his tune and is now apologizing for his past comments:

We must recognize Israel’s achievements under difficult circumstances, even as we strive in a positive way to help Israel continue to improve its relations with its Arab populations, but we must not permit criticisms for improvement to stigmatize Israel … I offer an Al Het for any words or deeds of mine that may have done so…

Carter told the news agency that he shouldn’t have named his book, “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid,” saying Palestinians in the disputed West Bank are not suffering under apartheid, though they could if a two-state solution with Israel is not achieved.

I never intended or wanted to stigmatize the nation of Israel, even though I have disagreed with the settlement policy all the way back to the White House

But, of course!

The Black Panthers’ “Get Out Of Jail Free” Card

1:01 pm, December 7th, 2009 on Democraps, Politics, Terrorism

The Obama Administration has been the Black Panthers’ Get Out of Jail Free card. We all remember the incident from last year when the members of this “party” were patrolling voting booths in Philly, and elsewhere, to prevent White/GOP voters from supporting McCain…

The Bush DOJ had filed suit against the perpetrators, but the new DOJ under Eric Holder dismissed the complaints.

The New Black Panther is now coming out openly in support of Holder, saying:

I think it’s a political witch hunt, part of the overall war that the Republicans are waging against Eric Holder in general … This is all about politics, not necessarily about protecting persons.

because, of course:

I certainly would like black America and all the world to take a second look at the New Black Panther Party at this point and to understand that we’re sincerely trying to help our people

It certainly helps to maintain friends in high places.

Finally, A Democrat with an Affair

11:02 pm, December 4th, 2009 on Democraps, Politics

Finally, phew! Democrat Max Baucus has admitted having an affair with the woman he had nominated for U.S. Attorney.

It seemed that since Bill Clinton let office, at the Federal level, only Republicans were the corrupt ones, but not anymore. Of course, it’s not a big deal, but I am interested in seeing how the media handles this. The current article is barely a few words.

More Free Cash for Automakers

11:58 am, July 31st, 2009 on Democraps, Economy

The so-called Cash for Clunkers program is turning out to be another fantastic money-blowing technique for Democrats.

$1 billion of what will soon be coming out of our taxed-pockets has already been spent and the House has approved another $2 billion dollars.

It seems that the ones benefiting most from this free cash will be the automakers. While the cash may not pass on to the companies directly, we’re just paying off somebody or the other to stimulate sales just for the automakers.

For us, it’s not really free, since we’ll be paying for it soon enough.

I can understand financial incentives for purchases to boost economic activity, but how much are we underwrite the bad decisions made by Detroit over the past several years. What $40 billion spent already in so-called loans? Many more billions in investor value wiped out and passed on to the unions?

How about a Cash for Plane Tickets? Airlines are hurting and they do employ thousands. What about a Cash for Old Appliances? Wait, we already have that with the $1500 “tax credit” for energy efficient equipment and installations.

As an aside, where’s the money from the main stimulus plan? Where’s that $787 billion going? Why do we need to keep spending more and more?

Switching Back and Forth: Espada Should be Voted Out of Office

12:25 am, July 10th, 2009 on Democraps

Did Espada’s constituents elect him so he can switch parties back and forth and manipulate his way into becoming the majority leader of the Senate? I don’t think so.

This should be his last term in office. This guy has a history of malfeasance …

Legal trouble has plagued Mr. Espada throughout his political career. He has been fined tens of thousands of dollars over several years for flouting state law by not disclosing political contributions. In 2005, three employees of a Bronx nonprofit health care company run by Mr. Espada, the Soundview HealthCare Network, pleaded guilty to diverting $30,000 from programs for family care and AIDS treatment to one of his campaigns. Mr. Espada was never charged. The Bronx district attorney is also investigating whether Mr. Espada lives in the Bronx district he represents.

But will it happen? Probably not. A Hispanic Democrat from Bronx doesn’t lose elections. He dies in office, or goes to jail.

Franken is already behaving like the politicians in Washington, his soon-to-be-colleagues, with almost constant fund-raising. He’s barely in DC and he’s already begging.

In Albany, Democrats Like Backdoor Business

5:55 pm, June 23rd, 2009 on Democraps, GOP, Humor, Politics

Does She Like Backdoor Entry? Courtesy, NYT.

During the confusion and bickering that ensued as a result of the Democrats’ and Republicans’ decisions to hold separate Senate sessions in Albany, Democrats entered the Senate chamber through the backdoor and liked it.

Democrats locked the doors to the Senate thereafter, denying Republicans even the opportunity to enjoy a more natural entrance.

They then proceeded to introduce and vote on bills, including such momentous bills as legalizing same-sex marriage, promoting sodomy in state institutions of higher education, and paying for more sex-change operations in prisons.

“As we legislate on issues relating to gay marriage, promiscuity among our youth and sexual fulfillment in prisons, it is only appropriate we enter the chamber via the backdoor,” commented Kevin S. Parker, a Democrat from the Bronx.

Clinton Fractures Elbow, Disappoints Bill (Again)

1:39 am, June 18th, 2009 on Democraps, Humor

Bill Clinton, a former President of the United States, was frankly outraged and quite disappointed that Hillary Clinton, the current Secretary of State, only fractured her elbow during a fall Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Clinton: Not Too Happy

“I was hoping to move back into the White House for another 12 years. That bitch couldn’t even beat that [explicit] in the primaries. Then, she couldn’t convince the boys to appoint her Veep. I would have liked the Naval Observatory – can you imagine a constant supply of hot naval chicks?

“And, now, this. If she had been more seriously injured and admitted to the hospital for a few days, I could have enjoyed some guiltless debauchery without her constant prying. Ever since Monica, I haven’t been to have fun when she’s around. The only consolation has been her regular travel.

“But, no, she had to go and only injure her elbow. I am very disappointed, again,” Clinton was overheard saying to his buddies over drinks at his favorite club in Washington.

According to the same sources, Clinton has given an ultimatum to his beloved wife: she’d better create a serious enough crisis to oust Obama in the 2011 primaries or, at the very least, replace that Biden fellow in 2012, or else face divorce.

In international news, an advertisement looking for “chubby, sexual interns” regularly placed in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, newspapers has been traced to an Honorary Grand Commander of the Order of Logohu and was paid for in US Dollars.

Clinton, who is a member of that elite grouping, has made several covert trips to the Pacific Ocean nation in recent months. A spokesman for the Clinton Foundation refused to comment on this developing story.

Adam Smith – the Greatest Moderate Ever!

12:49 pm, June 16th, 2009 on Democraps, Media, Politics, Washington State

The Olympian is, in my opinion, nothing short of a sharply liberal newspaper. It endorsed Gregoire for Governor in 2008; it backed Obama, and every other Democrat it could find. It has obviously been fully supportive of Democrat Adam Smith in the 9th Congressional District. In an article from this week, Shannon writes:

Smith … has built a reputation as a moderate pro-business Democrat.

Let’s examine Smith’s so called “moderate” record. He gets a mere 85% from the ADA, and a shockingly high 4% from the ACU – if that is not the hallmark of a moderate, what is? Pelosi scores a mere 50% from the ADA, but is classified as an “S” presumably for being the current speaker, and glorious a “0″ from the ACU. Compared to her, it seems, Smith might actually be a moderate. But, let’s discuss that, shall we? Read on »
