I Need Your Help Again…

How is it that if some asshole yells, e.g., ”Faggot!” or “Nigger!” and then murders the object of his misguided standard, he is guilty of a hate crime, but when another, Muslim asshole yells “Allahu Akhbar!” and then murders 13 and wounds 30 more, our president doesn’t want us “jumping to conclusions” that he might be a terrorist?

I always felt that if you murdered (and I use the term “murder” instead of kill for the obvious legal reason) someone, regardless of the reason, you are either crazy, or you hate them, or both.

Well? I’m waiting.

Referendum…

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/state_regional/state_regional_govtpolitics/article/kaine_says_democrats_faced_uphill_battles/303574/

“Kaine said that ‘in each state, the president’s approval ratings are better today than the share of the vote he received in each state in 2008.’“

That is not reflected in the most recent Richmond Times-Dispatch poll, conducted Oct. 28-29, in which Obama’s 43 percent favorability rating matched his 43 percent unfavorability rating. In 2008, Obama received 52.6 percent of the nearly 3.7 million votes in Virginia’s presidential contest.”

This is what is known among some people familiar with a dictionary as a “lie.” Nice try, Mr, Eyebrows.

Fair And Balanced?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/23/pub-obama-campaign-promises/

Let’s call a “promise kept” a win, a “promise broken” a loss, and a “promise partly kept,”  “work in progress,” or “not yet addressed” a tie.

By Fox’s reckoning, Obama is 4-4-9. Folks, that’s about as fair and balanced as it gets. You may disagree with the support for a given verdict, and you could assign different weights to each verdict depending on their overall importance, but this is what I would describe as a journalistic equilibrium.

It is arguable that “not yet addressed” could be a loss, and the way he has thrown gays under the bus is clearly an unmentioned loss, but Fox doesn’t even go there.

Worth A Forward…

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment? 

If George W. Bush had misspelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 10 months; you’ll have three years and two months to come up with an answer.

Thanks, Bobby

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” said Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee.

Well, thank you, Switzerland, for showing the balls that the Scottish legal system lacks (http://layinablog.wordpress.com/2009/08/21/question-of-the-day/).

Turns out there’s nothing much under those skirts after all. When Switzerland makes you look like you have the moral courage of the French, you have a problem, Clan McEunuch.

On the other hand, you gotta hand it to Sarkozy. France finally steps up to the plate for a double. Now if only they could close:

Not only denied, but last choice. Not surprised. Not disappointed. I enjoy watching the Olympics, but really do not care where they are held. This presidential bitch-slap, which will be surely and immediately spun by the media and the administration into a rebuke of George W. Bush (as are all Obama’s failures) is well deserved. Chicago is the epicenter of political corruption and urban unrest in this country, and Chicagoans would have been left holding the bag of debt that consistently results from having the games in your city. And in this Obama economy, it’s just not worth it.

Too bad, Oprah. I was looking forward to watching you run up those stairs.

Liberals: Regarding Van Jones…

Ask yourself these questions about this, well, if I may quote Mr. Jones himself, “asshole:”

Do you REALLY believe that this self-confident, Yale Law-educated, accomplished, proud, brave, righteous, and intelligent man resigned simply because he could not, and didn’t want his colleagues to have to, “expend precious time and energy” fighting the baseless lies, distortions, and other unfounded allegations raised against him primarily by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News, and which went almost completely unaddressed by the mainstream media until he actually bolted?

Did Jones REALLY cave in to those 3 lying, distorting entities, those bastions of false, antiliberal hate speech? Could he REALLY not stand the heat generated by them?

Or, just possibly, was it something else?

 

Jones’ resignation letter:

“I am resigning my post at the Council on Environmental Quality, effective today.

On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.

I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum – urging me to “stay and fight.”

But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.

It has been a great honor to serve my country and my President in this capacity. I thank everyone who has offered support and encouragement. I am proud to have been able to make a contribution to the clean energy future. I will continue to do so, in the months and years ahead.”
