The entire leftwing media complex that’s been calling you a teabagging faggot for the past year or so is suddenly incensed that one stray voice  in a crowd of thousands may have called an actual faggot “a faggot”?

A CNN producer overheard the word “faggot” yelled at Frank several times in the lobby of the Longworth building. Frank said he heard someone yell “homo” at him.

So you’re saying that calling someone a “faggot” is now a slur but when you use it it’s okay because you’re using a euphemism?

If that were true and these TEA Party protests were really just an excuse for people who a hate a black president to express themselves under the guise of anti-taxes / anti-socialist takeovers that would make it acceptable as well, correct?

When John Edwards was having his well-known affair, that the press dutifully covered-up, I used to always hear that no one had any video evidence to support the charges so he was innocent until we had video and audio to support such slanderous accusations.  All accusations must be witnessed, notarized and apostilled.

Take Clyburn’s well publicized claim from yesterday that a “chorus” of protesters were calling him a “nigger”.

I led the first demonstrations in South Carolina, the sit ins… And quite frankly I heard some things today I have not heard since that day. I heard people saying things that I have not heard since March 15, 1960 when I was marching to try and get off the back of the bus.“

Yet now it’s Clyburn who is ordering hundreds of millions of people to the back of the bus while the government turns it’s hoses of slander in the mainstream press on protesters to accuse them of being racists and faggots.  It’s tragic that we can measure how far we’ve come as a society in irony.

The real Faux News is on the Left.  Here’s the video evidence of Clyburn walking by the protesters who he said were screaming nigger at him “in chorus” no less.

Expect Clyburn to hang a noose in the men’s room later today before running in front of the cameras to decry the acrid atmosphere in Washington caused by the protesters.

What that protest needs is everyone locking arms and singing “We Shall Overcome” to Mr. Clyburn.

Well…at least Congressman Alcee Hastings is being honest. Which might be the first time in his life…

Oh yeah. One more thing. Alcee Hastings in on the House Rules Committee…

What a great message to send to our civic-minded kids. Shouldn’t it be THIS simple?:

The answer, unsurprisingly, is running down his chin.

This one might qualify as the Quote of The Day in a day full of them:

The other side says that our rights come from G0d, not from government. That while the government has an obligation to promote the general welfare, it doesn’t have a holy writ to design the nation as it sees fit. The Constitution is not a coupon insert in your local paper, brimming with all sorts of giveaways and two-for-one deals. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights delineate what the government cannot do, not what it can. What was so fantastic and revolutionary about that is that for the first time in history, a nation was founded on the proposition that the government should mind its own business. Believing that doesn’t make you a fascist, it makes you a patriot.

Sure, Jonah.  A patriot (****pfffftttt****).

A Real Patriot ™ picks up his Bosca legal briefcase and delivers inflammatory material to Gitmo detainees so that they’ll attack their guards.  And then goes to work for The Justice Department to attack the guards from inside the system.

It’s time to quit assuming that the Democratic Party are just a bunch of people with different opinions.  The vast majority of them are traitors and quintessentially un-American.  They’re about a Bic lighter away from burning down a Reichstag to get socialist healthcare.

Odds are that they’ll try to pin it on Michele Bachmann.

Meanwhile, Vice-Retard Biding lets the mask of fascism slip:

You know we’re going to control the insurance companies.  You know people aren’t going to lose their health care with their employer like is being advertised.

Wiser minds clearly disagree with Scranton’s most successful hair plug aficionado.

And the saddest part of all is that limp wrists like Lispy Graham are panting like dogs in heat at the prospect of The Cock of Bipartisanship popping into his gloryhole of compromise.

It wasn’t de Tocqueville who said that the American republic will endure until Congress realizes it can bribe the public with the public’s money but that doesn’t make it any less true.

If this legislative abortion somehow comes to term it is the end of this country as we’ve known it since it’s inception.  Every future election will be a referendum on “those bad guys who want to take your healthcare away” as it’s expanded and expanded until crashes through the floor under the weight of it’s bureaucratic girth.  You know, within two or three years after it starts having to pay out.

Not to worry.  The people will break it’s fall and suffocate to death as it keeps jamming a diverse rainbow of crony cupcakes in it’s abysmal maw.

He MUST be. It’s in the New York Times:

I’ve heard much Talk Radio criticism of the Obama administration’s canning of the NASA’s Constellation program. This seems to be one government program that Conservatives feel strongly about. This may make me unpopular right now, but we can’t afford it now.

When Obama’s lips mouth the words “private sector”, my sincerity meter flatlines. The only budgets that seem to qualify for his scalpel are those that don’t involve Chicago slumlords or unions. But wouldn’t you agree that, at the moment, privatizing anything and simultaneously shrinking a bureaucracy is a good thing?

I only wish he was as “responsible” across the board. Maybe if Valerie Jarrett has a proposal for subsidized low income housing on the Sea of Tranquility or a special Director of Lunar Diversity position opened for Michelle?

I do wonder if this is part of the President’s disdain for American Exceptionalism; of which the Space Program is certainly one.

All that said, if we’re to be on board with fiscal conservatism, we have to be willing to let our ox get gored.

Our local township is home to the Revolutionary War’s Brandywine Battlefield. Due to a $1.8 million cut in the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission budget, some hard choices are needing to be made. The Commission made this recommendation:

Considering that it costed $385,044 in 2007 to run the park and brought in $65,163 in paid admissions, it is prudent to look the options.

I’d probably be laughed out of our Republican-controlled township meetings for suggesting that a Revolutionary War historic site be trimmed back while funds don’t exist. Too Ron Paul-ish or something.

But there also other options on the table that should be considered. In fact, I’m proud that our township and state representative are remaining more clear-eyed than their counterparts in corrupt Philadelphia.

What do y’all think?

Our friends at the Jawa Report are not only all over the story about New Jersey’s own Jihadi, but had a direct hand in her being apprehended. How is that for cool?

This has become such big news since the Dinosaur Media picked it up. Who says right-wing blogs don’t provide valuable services? Kudos, Jawas!

New students will be slamming the elite J-school’s admissions office this Fall.

Professor Chomsky, call your office! We finally have some crap we can export to China.

I’m swamped right now. So please amuse yourselves as one of my favorite Photo/Photoshop Ninja sites, Are We Lumberjacks.

Still here? Ok, also check out I Own The World and Director Blue.

I hope to blow the dust off my Photoshop and get busy soon. I hear there is something going on with health care and there might be some material there.

UPDATE And don’t forget the best (photoblog after Zombie, of course), Snapped Shot.

Note: it may appear that I’m kissing butt after the SS owner left a comment below, but it ain’t so. However, I am feeling guilty because I intended to put up a link to them yesterday but couldn’t find a photo. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Here’s one I hope he keeps:

In private pitches to Democrats, President Barack Obama says he will persuade Congress to pass his health care overhaul even if it kills him and even if he has to ask deeply distrustful lawmakers to trust him on a promise the White House doesn’t have the power to keep.

Finally, a promise with an Expiration Date* we can live with.

Well, almost all of us.

This makes for bad TV and even worse civilization.

From Meet The Press this morning.  You ain’t from around here is ya?

Jan. 11, 2010:  “I am a New Yorker, I am a New Yorker, I am a New Yorker.”

I wrestle with my selfishness.  It’s an unfair fight because no matter which side I root for either way I want me to win.  But no matter how self-centered I may become, it’s always assuring to know that I’m never the worst because “journalists” in the Legacy Media business can articulate it so much better than any of the other millions of unemployed.  They practice tugging at those heart strings.  Especially those of people out of work as a result of the positions and policies they engraved on the tombstones of their cover stories and editorial pages.

Who else ever got paid to alienate customers as long?

So who would want to be a journalist? It has always been work for the strong-hearted, the bull-headed and the hopelessly romantic. People do this work because they love it. They love telling stories, however grim, seamy, or heartbreaking. In fact, the more heartbreaking the better.

Exploiting the humanity of the downtrodden to raise the all-important “awareness”.  Preferably in pursuit of expanding the nanny state.

That’s not to say that the piece linked to above chronicling the personal experience of the toll on family and career is void of sincerity.  It does.  But it is completely absent of any attempt at understanding  the downfall that the old media brought and continues to bring on what’s left of itself.  An obvious and intentional lack of self-examination.  No amount of New Media business model synergies seminars are going to fix that glaring blindspot:

The end of a love affair is always a little sordid, isn’t it? Awkward moments, bracketed by false reassurances that everything is still OK, postpone the inevitable…. They eye non-profit status with government subsidies like it’s Viagra for print.

The noble non-profits in pursuit of The Public Interest ™.   Dutifully reciting Washington’s message in exchange for their bread.  Or cab fare on the nightstand.

Perhaps they’d like it more if the government decided to take over their business, shut down hundreds of small papers and let the ones who donated the most favorable coverage to their campaigns survive and the really doe-eyed idealists among them can go to Washington like Mr. Smith.

By O’Keefe’s count, “Thomson is one of at least 14 journalists to join the Obama administration, with virtually all of them serving in a communications capacity,” and, intriguingly, O’Keefe asserted “other reporters at national outlets are known to be considering similar roles.”

Maybe those precious few remaining ink-stained wretches can gin up hatred of some hard-hearted Senator who thinks that government employees don’t deserve special treatment more than the private citizens he represents.  Those kinds of “grim, seamy and/or heartbreaking” tales are shiny epaulets on that government communications job résumé.

What kind of vocation calls such brave men and women?  Fearlessly standing up for the Big Guy?  Willing to cut the average American off at the knees to comfort the comfortable and afflict the afflicted?

For myself, I learned a long time ago the one thing we can count on is change. Because of my husband’s work, my life has had a rootlessness to it that I never intended, but have come to accept. The only thing that’s brought me to tears during our latest upheaval is the number of colleagues who’ve have contacted him about a job with the same company. So many good people, so desperate to escape the beast’s arms.

The Beast of the Old Media is unwanted and howling in the backyard.  It’s begs for Big Government to hold it’s tether and water it’s bowl.  It longs to attack on command in pursuit of a “progressive” agenda against the private citizen who must involuntarily underwrite it.  It despises the average American while claiming to look out for Those Who Vote Against Their Best Interests.

At the end, it never realized that all it ever had to do to be successful was to be fair.   Either that or it did and chose to fail.

Well, the world’s best 41 impersonator anyway.

Buffet friend and candidate for U.S. Congress, Brian Miller publishes this piece at Townhall.com.

My beef with the whole thing is that it is LBJ and FDR social engineering at it’s worst. This here isn’t hyperbole, just try to enjoy a day in Bloomberg’s New York City.

See also, soda machines on high school campuses.

Brian is truly conservative and importantly, a military man with no political connections. Exactly what we need.

He running for Arizona’s 8th congressional district and is the founder The Freshman 50, a pre-Tea Party political action committee dedicated to fielding conservative candidates in 2010.

Please support his candidacy and get involved. Here’s why:

I’m not sure this passes the smell test for me. But hey, it came from Yahoo! News, so it must be real right?

Now you might have some idea why a perfectly good Democrat can go off the rails on something as commonsensical as government subsidized abortion. It’s the shadow cabal of crypto-Christianists! Really, is there any other reason? Indeed, can there be?

I can’t answer that. I couldn’t if I wanted to. They’re listening.

We’ve been had.  Seems Leinart took being a Trojan a bit literally.

If we can just keep Jim Brown from slapping a skullcap on Afro-Leinart for another year or two, I can retire off that sweet, sweet E-bay lucre.

Sorry, Nigel.

In a strained defense of wasteful “make work” projects to temporarily sustain government employees and their favorite no-bid contractors, the Bolshevik revolution continues with aplomb as the SouthCommunists at the reconstituted Nashville City Paper (NCP) serve up a little cover story complete with quasi-Soviet/NorK iconography:

You Forgot To Add The Sickle

ed. note – Six Meat Buffet uses Commie iconography as parody – not praise.

Among some of the brilliant observations from the Kremlinesque note-takers at the NCCCP:

More than $1 billion in stimulus funds have flowed into Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District, represented by U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat who voted for the recovery act. That money has created nearly 7,000 jobs in the geographic area that includes Davidson and parts of Wilson and Cheatham counties, according to federal figures that cover Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009.

At $1,000,000,000.00, that’s roughly $143,000 per job.  Excuse me, “nearly” 7,000 jobs.  Round it up a little.  Now would those be full-time jobs in the private sector that will be contributing taxes next year or a gubmint project filling potholes for 3 months because that’s a top 1-percenter income being funneled through the models of efficiency that are the federal and state government.  At least on Charity Navigator we can see how much went to Administrative costs.

The government’s stimulus-tracking website, recovery.gov, is designed to offer transparency about how the federal funds are being spent, and indeed, the wealth of information is almost overwhelming. The slightest bit of navigation will reveal initiatives throughout Nashville. Some, mostly construction projects, were unveiled with staged photo-ops and now don the familiar red-blue-and-green stimulus logo at their sites. Others have gone largely unnoticed. The list is much too lengthy to cover in its entirety without risking utter boredom.

You read that right.  Indeed,  they would hate to bore all you 10+% unemployed Tennesseans out there with all this free funemployment time on your hands. The information is so overwhelming we simply don’t have the ink to describe how completely awesome it is.

I thought this level of lickspittle A2M Soviet cockslobbery was reserved strictly for The Nashville Scene.

Indeed, I certainly don’t want to bore you with any more of the slavish teabaggery that Joey Garrison begged for at the wrinkled sack of the Obama Administration but this was just too much:

More heat on the street: Perhaps the most celebrated stimulus project allocated to Metro — hailed by Dean and others — is the $9 million grant awarded to the police department to bring on 50 new officers. According to spokesman Don Aaron, most of the money pays for salaries and other benefits.

That’s $180,000 per police officer added for those Metro school graduates averse to math.  Ask those cops how much they get paid a year and then ask where the other $135,000 went.

It seems Pravda On The Cumberland finally got a little competition.

Best not to examine all those Phantom Congressional Districts that got $54 Million in cream right off the top.  You say “Cream!” too loud around these inky apparatchiks and all they do is close their eyes and open their mouths.

$54 Million??? Why, that’s almost 300 new Robocops we could have bought or at least fended off lawsuits over rightfully arresting illegal aliens.  Or at least put a down payment on a light rail so we can have the illegals polishing the brass on our Shining Sanctuary City On The Hill.

Robocop: Only cost $73k in 1987 dollars (though most of his parts were made in Mexico)

Whatever you do Joey and the rest of your Comrades at the NCCCP, don’t look into that ghost money.  We’d all much rather read your incessant lacrimosas over Juana Villegas’ spilled breast milk.

It’s worse than any Mayan calendar running out. Republicans might regain control of government and unleash the wrath of Quetzalcoatl. That is if they anger the gods of the Old Media Pantheon.

Via NewsBusters we have two back-to-back eviscerations of Senator Jim Bunning’s hold on the “jobs bill”. I haven’t looked into the backstory enough to tell you whether the whole thing is political maneuvering or a genuine attempt to impose fiscal restraint.

The jobs bill is popular so it gives them the cover they so need to attack Republicans without reprisals. And like dogs on red meat, they proceed to dive into the nasty advocacy journalism that hasn’t been seen since Reagan pulled blankets off of homeless people.

Again, I can’t speak to the merits of Bunning’s actions, but watch the videos and hear the blatant narration that is being sold.

Expect years of this if and when a Republican Congress actually tries to cut spending. There will be no shortages of crippled single mother’s of ten (actually, the will pick a white mother of three because that is what “Middle America” needs to see) paraded before your eyes while Williams, Couric and Sawyer softly weep.

Update
Here is some info on Bunning’s day on the floor of the Senate. I hope you don’t mind ALL CAPS in red.

This cannot be true!

Toomey is truly conservative in the mold of Rick Santorum and has fought for Specter’s seat before. But the country wasn’t in the mood at the time.

Specter is something of a folk hero in Southeast Pennsylvania with fond memories of his days as a dynamic Philadelphia district attorney. Also, he brings home pork like crazy. I’m sure that helps too.

But because not all Pennsylvanians are morons from Philly and Murtha’s Jonestown district, I’m a little shocked. I’d expect Toomey to be doing much better.

In Technicolor!

Drudge is trumpeting Gore’s re-emergence from his Tennessee burrow, where he saw his shadow and predicted six more years of Global Alarmism.

You must give this guy credit for not just shrinking into the metaphorical snowbank and hiding in the middle of our coldest wettest winter in decades. Nope, he’s either a true believer or is too invested to simply disappear. But it does take some amazing cajones and the shamelessness that can only come with a life in “public service” to pull it off.

By choosing the NYT, Gore gets to preach to the converted. He trots out the same fear-mongering but this time has to play some defense in light of the scams perpetuated by East Anglia and the IPCC.

Let the fisking begin!

So speaketh the prophet for whom every prophecy has been met by divine mockery.

Moving on to glossing over intentional misdirection and vicious partisanship:

An embarrassed IPCC head Rajendra Pachauri reveals the source of the IPCC study, “Global Warming will destroy cash crops”

Wow, I wish I could knock over a liquor store and call it an error made in good faith. In fact as a good liberal I could actually make that case. Right wingers besieged me and I had no choice but to knock off that EZ Liquors on 12th Ave!

OK, let’s address the current miserable Winter we had and why more snow and cold is evidence of more Global f*cking Warming!

Oh, I must have missed the argument that global warming puts more moisture in the environment. It could be true. Surely Mr. Gore believes that.

Oh, nevermind.

Please note the generalizations. Droughts are getting deeper, flooding is increasing. Citations, please.

It’s like the arguments that I heard back in the 80s that the gap between the rich and poor was getting greater. I was sure that by 2010 there would only be a peasant underclass and guys that look like the top-hat guy from Monopoly ruling the United Corporate States of America. Actually, I was convinced that we’d all be dead by 1997 from Nuclear Winter, so I lied there.

Now since his arguments really can’t stand on their own, let’s turn to an “us vs. them” argument to galvanize the faithful.

Let’s meet the deniers and agents of the status quo.

TV is a tool of big anti-progressive corporate demons. Such powerful truth! Jeffrey Immelt just wet his pants and made a phone call to GE to invest “like a sonofabitch” in green stimulus-financed windmill farms and Organizing for America.

What’s that? He’s railing against Fox? Of course. They are the ones that killed our “We Are The World” party our elites had in Copenhagen.

So, what about the culpability of the developing economies? Short answer (liberal version) It’s our fault! Where would we be without this trope?

I forget, how does one say bulls***t? in Mandarin?

All in all, it is good to see Gore back in form defending his carbon-offset racket. But it it always sad when the protagonist learns no lessons and doesn’t develop as a character.

…BO.

Not Barack Obama, though I do often think of BO when I think of him.

No, we’re talking body odor…and I am calling BS on this hard-hitting NBC report which lists the top 7 cities for BO (via Hot Air headlines):

* Yuma, AZ #7

* San Antonio, TX #6

* New Orleans, LA #5

* Chicago, Il #4

* Phoenix, AZ #3

* Houston, TX #2

* Las Vegas, NV #1

Uh…no. I have spent time in all of these cities (extensive time in Yuma, Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston) and I can tell you that this report misses the most obvious one…

New York.

Ever spent a July afternoon on the “R” train headed to Brooklyn? Or even a mid-February day, when people don’t bother to clean their overgarments? PEEEE….EWWWWW! A New Yawk friend of mine explained that many New Yorkers just “give up” on hygiene since they have to walk everywhere and the stank just seems to stick to them.

I spend about a month of every year in Yuma and I can tell you there might be stink from the agriculture but
I can’t ever recall that stink being on humans.

The WORST smell I have ever smelled was in New Orleans, but that had nothing to do with BO…it was a few weeks after Katrina right outside of the Superdome (they were taking the water-soaked turf out).

Another town NBC missed…Oakland. Ever been to a Raider game?

Thoughts? Any disgusting BO stories y’all might have?
