Never Mind “Opt-Out”! Who “Opted-In”? In Re: Andrew Sullivan at The Daily Dish
Well this was a cute post, by Andrew Sullivan at Daily Dish: “Lethal Politics of the Opt-Out Public Option” (see link below). His message: Senator Reid’s Opt-Out Public Option is lethal, “[i]magine Republicans in state legislatures having to argue and posture against an affordable health insurance plan for the folks, as O'Reilly calls them, while evil liberals provide it elsewhere.” This is ridiculous. If this is the case, hell let’s just Opt-Out of this whole discussion considering there isn’t anything stopping one single state from creating its very own Government Option in the first place. In fact, Massachusetts has the Government Option… ohhhh but we’re not allowed to even bring up the lack of success there… Government Health Care Option in Action (oh and believe me IT ...
Yeah! Man Up Barack! In Response to Joe Queenan at WSJ
In Response to Joe Queenan’s Op-Ed at the WSJ (see link below) Dear Joe: 1st: I can understand how you might be “sick of reading the ‘Man Up, Barack’ editorial”, but I would like to point out that it isn’t a lack of “originality” you’re complaining about – it’s a lot of people stating the obvious. How original does one need to be when pointing out what the President promised pre-election and what he’s accomplished post-election? There’s really only one way to say it... “Man Up Barack!” 2nd: I can promise you that nobody thinks Jimmy Carter is a “macho man”, not even Jimmy Carter would think that, he might “offend” himself. 3rd: I take issue with this statement, “Barack Obama, whatever you may think of his politics, doesn't ...
Media Malpractice or State Run Media…Which Is It?
How can a President of the United States contradict himself in almost every speech, often in the same sentence, and receive no curiousity, question, or even so much as a "clarification request" whatsoever from the press? The Answer: There is No Press in the United States. There is only "The State Run Media". [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vko_gmkfs8[/youtube] Let's take one of the Mr. Obama's latest quotes: "To the non-Democrats who may be watching today. I want you to know I believe in a strong and loyal opposition. I believe in a two-party system where ideas are tested and assumptions are challenged. Cuz' that's how we move this country forward. But what I reject is when some folks decide to sit on the sidelines and root for failure on health care or on energy or on our economy. ...
Politics & News
UN is a Joke…IPCC is a Farce
In this space several years ago, I revealed that the three thousand or ten thousand or however many “scientists” Al Gore claimed endorsed his view that humans were killing the planet with CO2, were mostly frauids, undergraduates or invented. I was seconded by a group of knowledgeable engineers and biologists. Members of the GW “Faith” beat me about the ears with shibolleths... [Read more]
Eureka! Reason For Death Panels
Just surfing around the Internet, looking for reaction to Maine Senator Susan Collins’ articulate shellacking of BHO and his administration quizzing the Yemeni Christmas bomber for 49 minutes and then “Mirandizing” him, my head was EXPLODED. In Massillon, Ohio, an eleventh grade “civics / government” class was engulfed in a handout recruiting them all for an Obama “teen... [Read more]
Zero’s “Freeze” May be Hot Potato….
Giving credit to Dr. Charles Krauthammer, Liberal intellectual economist Paul Krugman and left-wing midget Robert Reich all in the same paragraph may be too much for you….but there you have it ! That Obama “freeze” on discretionary spending by the U.S. government is another smoke-and-mirrors, Oz-like shell game sham, they say. Krauthammer told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News Channel it is “three-card-monte”—meaning... [Read more]
Bad Pennies Have Two Sides
It HAD to be on a Monday. And it WAS. January 25, 2010 in fact–that two startling stories slammed into my ken. One was a video of the President oif the United States making a speech to 11-and-12-year-olds, using a teleprompter. At first the report was denied by that famous oracle, Robert Gibbs, fresh fom undressing himself on Chris Wallace’s Sunday interview. But the swiftie web site IHatetheMedia.com... [Read more]
Free At Last !!! The People’s Seat…
As a young journalist and speech writer, I was in the midst of the earliest temporizing around the issue of segregation and voting rights in the south. I sat with my friend Hughes Spalding Jr., on the platform when his Harvard roommate John F. Kennedy announced his presidential candidacy in historic Warm Springs, Georgia in 1960. Thus, it was with pride that I sobbed audibly and welcomed the tears... [Read more]
Brits M I 5 TRIED But Noncompetano &Co. Failed
Late Monday, a spokesperson for Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister announced to shocked news outlets that A YEAR AGO Britain’s M I 5, intelligence authorities identified the Nigerian underwear bomber and warned that he was involved with radical muslim extremists, plaing him on THEIR watchlist. Ladies and Gentlemenm, we are sitting ducks. And it all flows from the same poisoned springwater. To... [Read more]
Now, Shoot the Piano Player !
(UPDATE! On Friday, Jan.1, 2010, the Transportation Safety Administration, with craven embarrassment, reportedly WITHDREW the subpoenas reported in this post. Someone suffered brain flatulence, Obviously.) * ** * Despite the plight and pleadings of the Honorable Gerald Walpin (see my immediately past posting) we still have some lively whistleblowers...

More Fireworks in the Offing
Several excitements Loom ! Even though I personally believe the wrangling among Democrat lawmakers will go on until nearly summertime over the “healthcare” bill that must now be “reconciled”, I am still awed that the administration will hazard hurting nine tenths of the population while allegedly “guaranteeing” med “coverage” for one-tenth. There will be other outrages to consider,... [Read more]
Replacing Timidity With Hot Fire
Reflections on “doing homework”. Here is this wrinkling, withering octogenarian who paid a great deal of attention to the exploits of Ahmed Massoud, the Lion of the Valley of Five Lions when he coalesced the bloody tribal ethnic-enemies in Afghanistan to chase the Russian communist invaders home. Although this charismatic leader was later assassinated just two days before “9-11″... [Read more]
Will This Scandal End The Long, Silly “GW” Season ?
Bad week for the left wing liars and hypnotists. The really Big Bad news is that some genius reportedly hacked into the computers at Hadley —(where the United Kingdom’s Climate Research Unit abides)—and found a treasure trove of hypocrisy, outright lying and falsification of scientific and historical data. It reportedly included emails gloating over the death of John Daly a respected and outspoken... [Read more]
Always Dumb, Now PeeCee Kills
Do you remember, as I do, the first bomb attack on the World Trade Center, in 1993 ? It took a while, but finally Ramzi Youseff, a New Jersey Islamic “extremist” was fingered by law enforcement. He is serving time now. But at the time, President William Jefferson Clinton did not identify it as terrorism, or visit the site, or make any commitment to sorting it out. His ten-advisor, Dick...

America’s Reach Will Tell
Mark Tuesday, November 3 on your calendar and reminder. We will learn a lot about America’s Excellence, her Vigilance, her resilience and her ability to differentiate between watercress and raw meat. There are three elections coming up, and I suspect their imminent concatenation is at least one reason for the president’s dithering on Afghanistan and other matters, even though he is more accomplished...
