The second book I read by Ernest Hemingway was a First Edition of The Green Hills of Africa, a lively account of a safari he and his wife, Pauline took in the 1920’s.
It was a seminal experience for me because I re-read the book twice in between readings of, The Sun Also Rises, and [...]
This wont take long.
Every time someonem in a national political administration misbheaves—as the president did Wednesday by appointuing a health care rationing Czar outside of Congressional approval—some idiot pundit screams impeachment threats.
But Wednesday, in a session of the supposedly Non-Political United States Civil Rights Commission, a smoking gun was produced.
J. Christian Adams, who resigned his [...]
All you people making fun of Nancy Pelosi’s latest Pearl of Wisdom, lissen UP !
You are out of date. Old Fashioned. Behind the curve….PASSE’ , in fact.
“The quickest, surest way to create jobs is to provide more funding for unemployment compensation !!!”
That’s what she said. So, What ?!
This is 2010. Look at the record. Things [...]
We had hoped by now to be able to “move forward” with the JobGate and Extortion scandals involving high White House officials and trading money cow positions for political favors.
Only reasion we cannot is that the U.S. Attorney General and the White House counsel are refusing Congressman Darrek Issa’s requests for informatuion and communication records. [...]
Our little corner of the Blogosphere will waste no time in getting the word out that Congressman Darrell Issa has asked the United States Office of Special Counsel to open an investigation of two denizens of the murky White House: Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and his deputy Jim Messina.
You may check the story from [...]
Sure, promising those jobs to candidates NOT to run in Pennsylvania and Coloirado was illegal.
But when the adoring press turns on its darlings at 1600 Pennsy;vania Avenue inside the D.C. Beltway and shines the high beams on “LEGAL” slime, it gives me goosepimples.
Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times weaves all the Chicago Way strings [...]
In answer to a couple of excited comments from readers, let me say loudly and clearly:
Do not expect U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to abort his protection of the New Black Panther Party felons who bungled their attack on a free election in 2008, to press a Special Prosecutor investigation of “JobGate”.
Slobber Bobby Gibbs has [...]
Late Breaking Bulletin: Congressmen Darrel Issa and Lamar Smith have set a June 9 deadline for the White House to supply them with a slew of documents relating to COS Rahm Emanuel and former POTUS Bill Clinton offerring Rep. Joe Sestrak a job to quit his race for the senate. They implicate Sesrtak’s brother, Richard, [...]
Those are the words reportedly uttered defensively, squirmingly, by either a suckup media maven OR a White House denizen when “the statute” was produced.
On TV, David Gregory and others averred that the WH memo on Sestak’s bribe offer “showed it was not criminal”. The NYSlimes and WaPo both chimed in that whatever Rahm Emanuel, Bill [...]
We may not ever have this opportunity again to relay a scandalous meltdownin high places, so we exploit it.
We are aging swiftly, y’knw ?
Ed Lasky at the American Thinker (http://tinyurl.com/2uf4r82), my second favorite Blog, had an intersting scooop Saturday.
That job that ex-POTUS W.J. Clinton (aka Bubba,akaSlickWillie) offered Congressman Joe Sestak to retire from his senatorial [...]
Well, THAT’S differunt, Huh?
I mean, if it was William Jefferson Clinton who offered Joe Sestak a federal job and it ws a Non-Paying job in the Obama administration not to run against Senator Arlen Specter, that THAT makes everything Hunky-Dory. Right ?
What kind of “DENIABILITY” does that provide. These ex-Soros mouthpieces like Bob Bauer and [...]
It was bound to happen.
You got a dumbaxe like Robert Gibbs as mouthpiece . You got a veep who can NOT think when his voice is noising. You got a chief of staff that makes Dickens’ Fagin look like Tinkerbelle and a deputy chief of staff from George Soros’ payroll.
Then you duck the [...]
Europe may be falling apart, melting slowly under the burden of its “Sperm-to-the Worm” entitlement socialism, but its wire service news is still exhaustive.
We had to dig into the Agence-France Presse budget to find the bitter, lethal call-to-death aimed at ALL Muslim soldiers in the United States Army from the foul mouth of Anwar al-Awlaqi.(http://tinyurl.com/3alk8uc)

Never in my memory have so many prominent people been so desperate to mislead the citizens of the United States about to many things.
A very brainy friend of mine with an upscale MBA degree and an expansive background in business comments that “they are just preoccupied with being ‘cool’—to the point of deriding any lasting [...]
All we can try to do here is to widen the dissemination of information that your nightly news and daily rags fail to give you. A teeny bit at a time, there is soooooo much.
Here, though, is an interesting tidbit.
According to the American Spectator’s “PROWLER” the bureaucratic skulduggery is an equal opportunity deal within the [...]
Without even being “pressed”, there are two things we will admit we are absolutely obsessed about:
(1) People who spout off about history when they do not know what they are talking about.
(2) The “Old” dinosaur media slickers who include a pinko, left wing bleeding heart poison pill in every “news” presentation.
When there [...]
On the day Pew, the most respected, unbiased and traditionally accurate public opinion survey of the American people reports that 80 percent of us distrust our government completely,( http://tinyurl.com/yyalpbq) ex-president Bill Clinton says dissent is “as threatening as the OKC bombing.

This is just a “GOTCHA” update on doctrinaire collectivist California congressman Henry Waxman’s “Petard”.
He is hoist on it.
Remember when this blog brought news that he set up a “show trial” hearing For April 24 at which je was going to pummel and punish executives who predicted billions in dollar losses prompting maybe critical job loss [...]
Maybe I just do not understand the introduction of George Orwell’s “Newspeak” to the politico-economic discourse in Obama’s America.
Recently, this corner of the web pointed out that Rep. Henry Waxman was threatening and extorting several large U.S. companies because they were complying with Security and Exchange Commission rules by “warning”of accounting “writedowns”: they were initiating [...]
It is hilarious that the new unemploymet figures will NOT be released on Aril 1 (April Fools Day) but on Friday, April 2.
This may have something to do with the fact that they predicted a “pickup” of 50,000 new jobs in March.
Preliminary reports Wednesday, March 31, indicated a LOSS of at least 23,000.
I cannot help [...]
Many of us tried to warn. Who listened?
Over Saturday and Sunday, several major employers in the United States announced that as a result of punishment and expense in the Obamacare legislatin, they would be forced to write down a total of one and a half billion dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) in order to comply with Security and [...]
In answer to my missive containing H.L. Mencken’s 1935 warning that legislators had at that jucture evolved into pawns of pressure groups and no longer listened to constituents, my best friend west of the Rockies said:

Come with us into the heart and soul of a daily newspaper in 2010, as journalism slips into the randpm mire–the “city room” where 10% of the staff has just been cut.

Whirling around in this ancient brain-pan is a huge question that readers of this corner might want to ponder also.
IF…Obamacare passees and gets signed into law and the Dow and NASDAQ tank back to 5,000 and 500 respectively, what will the reaction of the clueless megalomaniacs be ?
Schadenfreude ? Or, Gotterdammerung ?

Any normal person with a bank account or a piggy bank would have shared my reaction.
Here was a contemporary of mine, a fellow I had admired since he was 23 and I was 30, and whom I still admire, being trashed by the left wing media as an obstructionist in the U.S. Senate.
