Were that these berzerker hobos lying-in-wait “islands to themselves”.  Diminishing the 99% with each douche-tastic display.

Needless to say, when you’ve lost a white, vinegary Leftist like Bill Maher – your baggeth runneth over (sausage link to Noel Sheppard at the invaluable NewsBusters):

‘Baggin’ It

BILL MAHER: Let me ask you about another occupation, because this is – and you would be good on this too, panel -, the occupation, the Occupy Wall Street, because similar to Afghanistan, when you occupy anything for too long people do get pissed off. And as I watch them on the news now I find myself almost agreeing with Newt Gingrich. Like, you know what – get a job. Only because, you know, the people who originally started, I think they went home and now it’s just these anarchist stragglers. And this is the problem when you, you know, when your movement involves sleeping over in the park. You wind up attracting the people who were sleeping over in the park anyway.

Please adjust your nozzles accordingly.  That comment may come as a shock to any CBS watching diaper defiler, NPR latte enema-ed poser, or MSNBC kool-aid jello-shooter.

With your feeble attempts to play PR Ernie Pyles for Obama’s Army of unwashed Overcredentialed Under-educateds. Or your futile, shirt-wrenching efforts to plant victory gardens in the barren earth of these buy-now, pay-never Anarchists for greater state control.  The only thing that stood in the way of tilling such a fertile narrative was the immovable stone of Subject and the Content.

Were that we able to douche you out to sea with them.

And left about November 4th.

You tell me. Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?

Obama Headquarters on Rosa Parks Boulevard – October 7, 2008

I think about this every day when I drive by this prime piece of real estate a stone’s throw from the state capitol and across the street from the Farmer’s Market.  Three and a half years later.

Elections have consequences

Lots of consequences

He’s like King Midas.  Except that everything he touches turns to shit.

Who does this strip mall think it is doing impersonations of a White House event for CEOs?

Have you received any emails or letters claiming you as part of a class-action lawsuit? I get about three a years and it is usually about as pointless of this crime here:

Why yes, I probably did buy an iTunes gift card that said Songs are 99¢. So what’s the problem officer?

Good Lord man! Kudos to the eagle-eyed lawyers who vigilantly guard my well being against corporate fascists. To think that Apple would cleverly work a 30¢ scam into an innocuous “promotion” then manipulate space-time where prices would rise in the future. I feel like you’re the handsome Superman who just rushed to the scene and saved my virtue from a would be rapist.

Oh. Well thank you anyway, lawyer people for taking up the banner of Justice and righting a $3.25 cent wrong. I’m sure you got the same $3.25 reward from this and you’re cool with that because it was about doing the right thing.

Did Apple actually do anything malicious or illegal in this case?

In another era, one might call this a protection racket. But Apple is an evil corporation (OK, I’ll concede this one) and “the people” get a free trinket. So it’s A-OK!

UPDATE iOwnTheWorld makes the connection between slimy lawyers and Democrats.

Having my many creative thoughts for raising money for local charities rocked down by legal counsel, I was left wondering what to make of this redline from Drudge regarding $3 entry fees to have dinner with Obama and holding a lottery for his clean and articulate company:

The emails from the Barack Obama reelect about winning a dinner with the president as a randomized reward for contributing to the campaign have gotten a bit more intense as time goes on, and the latest one, from the first lady, emphasizes that the winner of such a prize shouldn’t freak out about it.

 ”Just relax,” she advises.

Etc., etc.

Oops.  Maybe they’d rather hold a bake sale except that Moochelle banned those cause of all the chunky little chirrens.

Any lawyers in the house?  Just asking.

Here is a handy chart compiled by our team of researchers. Conclusions are accurate to +/- 3%

Go home, union lackey:

Hammered by the automobile industry’s decline, Detroit’s population plummeted 25 percent over the past decade amid an economic downturn so severe that Michigan was the only state that failed to gain residents, according to 2010 Census data released Tuesday.

Detroit is the town that unions built and then destroyed.  If you think they’re such a great idea, then go back to where you came from and make it work.

I try to keep my individual outrages in order.  This particular one was from last week after the Commie-Media sued Wisconsin’s Gov. Walker for not producing thousands of e-mails for them to pour through – chop! chop! – within a couple of days of their request in a feeble attempt to claim he was lying about any sensible person rejecting the violent, sexual advances of union thugs towards the taxpayers.  If I may paraphrase Joe Biden’s rapist view of policy differences.

Turns out, Walker was right:

Gov. Scott Walker was right: The angry crowds in Madison didn’t tell the whole story of how Wisconsinites felt.

In the week after Walker announced his plan to dramatically curtail public employees’ collective bargaining rights in the state budget repair bill, a wide majority of the emails to him expressed support, an analysis of those emails indicates.

Now let’s be sure to define Walker’s truth down so as to provide some measure of cover for their Brothers In Harms.

But that support was significantly boosted by emails from pro-Walker senders from outside Wisconsin.

It goes on much later to show an e-mail-by-e-mail vetting revealing such a wide margin (almost 2:1) within the state of Wisconsin as to dispatch any Leftist media assertion to the contrary.

And, oh, one more thing.  Who took the tally of the “protesters” to see how many had been bussed in to support the Unionists?  Seems they weren’t the voice of Wisconsin after all.  Make that your headline.

Sue the unions to get the tally.  Best believe they know every astroturfed ringer Cheesehead that got loaded onto the purple bus.  The purple bus with professional squeaky wheels.

RELATED: It’s still my opinion that at least latently the purpose of the Commie-Media’s lawsuit was to get the names of the Anti-Union supporters to pass off to Unions for harassment purposes.

If just one name of the private correspondence sent to Walker is released then we know that the first motive of the lawsuit was to manufacture a pseudoscandal about Walker lying over support.  The second is so more Union Police Officers can send threatening boycott letters to area businessmen to imply they won’t respond to their emergency calls.

The poor man’s Kennedys strike again.  And the Chicago Thugocracy’s version of Michael Skakel is allowed to prowl the night once again free from consequence:

For the first time, the Chicago Police said Friday they know who hit David Koschman and knocked him to the ground in a drunken confrontation in the Rush Street area, leading to his death from a brain injury 11 days later — but they’re not telling.

They said they are closing Koschman’s 2004 homicide case without asking the Cook County state’s attorney’s office to charge anyone because they concluded the punch was thrown in self-defense.

Police reports made public Friday black out the name of the man who detectives concluded threw the lone punch at Koschman. But the descriptions they provided and accounts given by witnesses and others to the Chicago Sun-Times make clear it was Richard J. “R.J.” Vanecko, a nephew of Mayor Daley and White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley.

This is where the civil trial should come in and rob Vanecko of his life and future earnings.

Vanecko, 36, has refused to speak to the police on the advice of his criminal-defense lawyers, including Terence Gillespie, according to the police.

He refused to talk to the police but they determined, without his input, that it was self-defense.  That, my friends, is amazing.  Usually when someone claims self-defense, they actually at some point assert that they feared for their life.   The police generally don’t make up your alibi for you.

Fearful for his life no less, in this case, from an outnumbered and unarmed man with no history of violent behavior.  Let’s look at that “fear for his life” argument:

In interviews with the Sun-Times, Koschman’s friends acknowledged that he was yelling but said he never ran at the other group and that he never physically threatened anyone. The 21-year-old from Mount Prospect stood 5-feet-5 and weighed 140 pounds. Vanecko was 6-feet-3 and 230 pounds at the time.

Guilty as hell, free as a bird.  Notice a theme with these people yet?

A 6′ 3″, 230 lbs. 29 year old was terrified for his life (while being backed by several friends of comparable size) by a 140 lbs. 5′ 5″ 21 year old.

A state or federal prosecutor and internal affairs should immediately open an investigation into this miscarriage of justice.  Or, Koschman’s family and friends should take matters into their own hands.  The Chicago police have abdicated their moral and legal authority to do what is right.

In a post both unintentionally hilarious and unironically titled “Blindspot”,  a crestfallen Bolshevik laments as to “why there aren’t more full bore socialist bloggers”.  It’s hilarious on several fronts – aside from the supply and demand one that they generally never care much for on any level.

The End of the Left Spectrum just doesn’t have a voice it seems and a slew of big name blogcommies join in to explain why.

No one seems to have tripped over the answer so I’ll provide the Cliff’s Notes:

The national and alt-media subsidizes The Socialist in positions from editor, internet blogger, to research assistant, to columnist, announcer, coffee gaffer, etc.  McCarthyite Blacklists have nothing on the traditional print and television media in the United States from hiring people on the Right.

The media in the U.S. has institutionalized Leftism.  It’s our Rendellian Early Warning System. They’ve generously placed a yoke on their subhuman strength to harness their Stalinist aspirations for some useful (idiot) purpose.  Every year, new Victor Navasky J-School grads till a barren field salted by their previous year’s failures for a wine, cheese and underage male escort stipend.  When they “blog” it’s called “news reporting”.

The Rightwing Pegasus, however, can’t be broken so it still roams the prairie free.

Look no further than the Climategate e-mails from last year.  It was religious blasphemy to even mention the story of purloined e-mails showing Global Warming as a complete and utter fraud in a prelude to one of the more brutal winters on record.  We had to go to Britain to find the story because of the self-imposed blackout in the U.S.

BONUS QUESTION FROM THE COMMENTS:  “But what about Krugman?”

Good question.  Unlike his fellow socialists, Krugman is so uniquely and yet hurriedly wrong about everything that “the unit of measure for how wrong someone is” should be measured in Metric Krugmans.

Public Editor Watch: The NYT Public Editor comments on it’s atrocious AZ Shooter coverage and the name Krugman is nowhere to be found.  Why were they so bad?  Like the AZ shooter, it’s everybody else’s fault but their own.  It’s the Internets fault.  It’s “time’s” fault.  You know, those things beyond the control of an editor.

/Because of 1440/7!

For two years, Victor Navasky operated surreptitiously as the editor of The Columbia Journalism Review before the country’s self-appointed arbiter of journalistic integrity felt obliged to mention that it was being steered by the then current editor of The Nation.

No one, save Hot Earther / Global Warmist scientists, could have predicted so accurately what types of “journalism” students he would be producing:

On Wednesday Village Voice editor Tony Ortega pulled an article from the Voice website after it came out that freelance reporter and recent Columbia grad Rob Sgobbo had fabricated the sources he quoted in the article and lied about his reporting.

Sgobbo is a young education reporter who also worked for the New York Daily News — they fired him today — and graduated from the prestigious (and very expensive) Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 2010. In the past, Sgobbo has written for the Huffington Post, the Norwood News, and the Columbia News Service, among other publications.

The Huffington Post has since deleted his posts from the site.  Spokesperson Mario Ruiz tells us: “Our policy is that when a blogger is found to have fabricated a story — either on our site or for another outlet — his or her posts automatically come down. We deleted Rob’s posts today in accordance with that policy.”

His Voice piece “For-Profit Blues“ examined how for-profit “proprietary” colleges were leaving low-income students without degrees and with high debts.

Those nasty “for-profit” colleges as opposed to those sacrosanct state schools that have been producing tomorrow’s leaders today out of the kindness of their taxpayer tenured hearts.  Notice which direction Sgobbo’s perfidy leans.  Protector of disadvantaged minorities in the class war. Where could this mindset have been incubated?

How dare you racists question the deceptive means of his Stalinist ends?

Central to the piece was a woman named “Tamicka Bourges,” who, according to Sgobbo, told him she had accumulated massive debts while attending Berkeley College, yet never obtained a degree.

In the article [cached version], “Bourges” is described as being “in tears,” and she was “dropping out of Berkeley with no degree and had $25,000 in student loan debt. She didn’t know what to do.”

When Susan Smith claims her kids were dumped in the river by a black man who carjacked her, it’s a hate crime.  When Sgobbo claims that “for profit” colleges are taking advantage of black girls it’s just good journalism in the eternal struggle against institutional racism.

Thanks, Victor.  Another shock troop in the class war fomenting racial animus makes good because it is so hard to find a student overwhelmed by college debt without making her a black, lesbian cripple who’s a veteran from Bush’s ill-founded wars against brown people.

Navasky is The Tree.  And Sgobbo is most assuredly the fruit.

Clayton Cramer has an interesting contrarian notion over at PJM challenging longheld assumptions about crime being related to unemployment rates and how we’ve got it all terribly wrong:

Crime and unemployment: everyone knows that they go together. Right? Unemployed people, desperate for enough money to pay their bills, buy groceries, and get medical care (since those heartless Republicans think “don’t get sick” is a health care plan), must turn to crime. At the very least, disheartened men sitting at home are going to lose their tempers, get into fights, and shoot their spouses.

Like most conventional wisdom among the elites, it turns out not to be true.

Mr. Cramer proceeds with several charts showing the declining crime rate in several violent categories which I’m not disputing.  What I contend is that what he’s calling a lack of correlation is based on a lack of causation.  Which may be lulling him into a false sense of security about his fellow man.  Something that’s not taken into account here is how the availability of easy revolving credit can effect these numbers.

(more…)

I’m pretty sure I prefer Pacman Jones’ way of “making it rain” to this one:

Wouldn’t you know it?  Right after I waxed my car.

/Because of The Optics ™!

THAT’S RAAAACIST-WATCH: Nicholas Kristof, from the editorial pages of the NYT, declares that we now live in a Banana Republic.  Poor form, Nicky.  Poor form.  We know what you meant you racist, bananaphobic bastard.

If it makes you feel any better, 99% of those corn cobs vote Democrat.

Don’t worry, Li’l Davey.  The state’s going to provide this Kernell all the butter and salt he needs.

A federal judge has shot down a former University of Tennessee student’s bid to have tossed out convictions in the illegal access of Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account during the 2008 presidential election.

[...]

Davies argued it was nothing more than a college prick prank by a rank assbag computer amateur. Federal prosecutors assigned a more sinister motive, arguing Kernell, the son of long-time Memphis Democratic state Rep. Mike Kernell, went searching for politically damaging information but came up empty-handed.

The feds slapped Kernell with four felony charges. At his trial in April jurors rejected a wire fraud charge outright, reduced a felony illegal e-mail access charge to a misdemeanor, deadlocked on an identity theft count and convicted Kernell of the felony charge of anticipatory obstruction of justice.

It’s always the “cover-up” that gets you.  It has dibs. But after the cover-up gets you then Jamal does.

Riddle me this:  If Li’l Davy gets his ass kernel popped in Cell block 6 will it make a sound?  I’m guessing yes.  First a wimper, followed by some open weeping before Big Bear’s squeaky bed springs gently rock him to sleep.  Maybe that will be more “his type”.

Night, night ya jag.  It’s a real shame that a few of your unscrupulous supporters can’t go with you in a show of solidarity.

UPDATED: Sorry fellas, this one’s taken.

You had your chance.

News Or Not News?

Dog bites man? Not news.

Man bites dog? News.

Dog marries dog? Cute local filler story.

Dog marries man? Historic world news (via Newsbusters):

It’s “royal.” It’s of “historic proportions.”  It’s Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, and CBS apologizes for letting actual news get in the way of its breathless coverage.

Anchoring the coverage in Rhinebeck, Early Show weekend co-host Erica Hill, after referring to the event as “America’s royal wedding,” threw it back to a remorseful Chris Wragge in the studio, who promised to get back to Erica in “just a couple of minutes” after a couple of news items “we have to address.” When she got the ball back, Hill described the wedding as being of “historic proportions.”

Government work really does pay well for two lifelong civil servants to afford a $5,000,000 wedding.  But should she wear an off-white collar from Oscar de la Renta?

So much for all that “Two Americas” talk that was so popular with our class warring brethren.  How many Gulf Coast fishermen could that feed?  How many poor, despondent 9/11 first responders?  Or more appropriately for Frau Clinton, how many pets from a Sarah McLachlan ASPCA animal cruelty commercial could it save from the merciful death panels we all will enjoy soon enough?

After all, hetero marriage is just modern slavery.  Wonderfully ornate and consensual slavery blessed by Vera Wang herself.

Our bosoms swell with pride that in a time of record unemployment, a collapsing economy, two wars and a DMZ on our southern border that a rich white woman and a rich white man can show us that the world can still be full of beauty if you have stolen enough money from the taxpayers to insulate yourself from it.

How does this escape the narrative?  Apparently, the Clinton/Mezvinsky arrangement is supposed to create a genetically enhanced Super Kleptocrat capable of not knowing the definition of the word “is” in addition to being a “bipolar, one man crime wave”:

Edward Mezvinsky’s son, Marc, is engaged to Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former U.S President Bill Clinton and current U.S. Secretary of State and former U.S Senator from New York Hillary Rodham Clinton.^[3]

…

Criminal activities

Mezvinsky was involved in a series of business transactions that ultimately led to his downfall. Prosecutors later would call him a one-man crime wave.^[1] In 2000, after examining his business deals since 1980, prosecutors said that they uncovered elements of fraud in nearly every one.^[1]

In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.^[4] Nearly $10 million was involved in the crimes. Shortly after his indictment, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness defense.^[1] Mezvinsky was released from federal prison on April 11, 2008.^[5]

It's Pat! The Outrageously Funny Supreme Court Nomination!

It says a lot about the national media when Red State has to be the first one get their hands on a Supreme Court nominee’s college thesis because they refuse to do even the most cursory due diligence.  They just don’t want you to know and will only cover it if forced because you’re, like, totally making a big deal out of it for no reason.

Kagan is a Socialist.  A big one.  Just like the guy who nominated her though we can’t compare his college records because he ran for President, lied his way to victory, ruined the country in 14 months and the media has still decided not to investigate whether or not he was a C- student.  After all, how can he be???  He’s the smartest guy, most handsomest guy Marc Ambinder or Steve Benen ever rubbed their Viagra boners together over.

While Sully watched.  Sorry, kiddo.  But you’re a drain on our resources.  Luckily, we were easily able to adapt that “fat kid” monitoring program to AIDS patients.

/death panel

But say what you will about Kagan’s physical appearance, her ambiguous “It’s Pat” persona, or whether or not she looks more like a chunky Bob Costas than Dick Morris in a pantsuit but what you cannot argue is that she doesn’t know her Socialism.

She does.  To a fetishistic degree.

The Resolution?  There’s “Hope” and “Change” in those Hammers & Sickles:

Through its own internal feuding, then, the Socialist Party exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. (ed. – boohoo!)  The story is a sad but also chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America.

There’s that word again.  But just what is it that Kagan wants to “change” America into?  Early on she spoke of “the Bolshevik seizure of power holding a romantic allure” for her kind.

Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe.  Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies.  In unity lies their only hope.

“In unity lies their hope.”  The “lies” part I believe.

In other words, the “Workers of the world unite!” for the everybody gets a medal generation.

Their “hope” is the subjugation of liberty and individualism to the state.  Their “change” is to lower the standard of living for all benighted plebe Americans, previously unaware of the class struggle, save those few noble Harvard/Yale souls called to rule them.  After all, who could be more in touch with the common man or woman than people who paid $50k a year to go to college for six to ten years in hopes of getting a government job?

Such an undertaking has been attempted many times before and always with the same result.  It requires the breaking of a few bourgeoisie eggs to make the omelet of Stalinism.  If by “breaking” you mean killing and by “eggs” you mean people.

Such starry-eyed idealists can never allow a few misguided constitutionalists to stand in the way of the eternal struggle for Government over Individual inequality.

Plessy vs. Ferguson never got such good press!

“Diversity”  had its biggest setback since the last time this weekend when The Woman With The Biggest Chip On Her Shoulder gave a commencement speech to a bunch of neo-segregationists:

Michelle Obama told graduates Saturday to prepare to overcome adversity, building on Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1958 commencement address at the same university, when he told students to summon their courage to fight segregation.

The first lady gave an impassioned speech to 270 graduates of the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff that referenced the legacy of their historically black school, which opened in 1873 with seven students, most of whom could barely read.

…

“Let’s just imagine how those seven students would feel if they could see you here today,” Obama told a packed downtown arena.

Imagine seven black students in 1873 cheering that their descendants would still be separated from learning with children of others races in the year 2010.  By choice.   In 1873, seven students could barely read.  In 2010, they can barely comprehend.  Your chocolate’s not going anywhere near my peanut butter!

If Martin Luther King Jr. “told students to summon their courage to fight segregation”, what measure of success is it that the President, his bitter half and a cottage industry of grievance colleges encourage drinking at a separate but equal educational water fountain?

People in the audience said they hope her appearance draws more attention to historically black colleges.

Promoting and underwriting a racially segregationist public education is banned by the Constitution and is downright un-American.  It’s too bad that Mrs. Obama’s commencement speech is more akin to the Bull Connor than to Brown vs. the Board of Education.

If Democrats only pass this monstrosity through the House with 219 votes, they will have socialized 1/6 of our economy on the thinnest of majorities.

Even with an open invitation to bribery, they couldn’t muster 1% above the bare minimum to support the bill that they wrote.

How pathetic.

Welcome to the perpetual unemployment line, America.  You voted for it.

50.3% practicing Don’t-Look-Down Obamanomics.

While Treasuries backed by the full faith and credit of the government typically yield less than corporate debt, the relationship has flipped as Moody’s Investors Service predicts the U.S. will spend more on debt service as a percentage of revenue this year than any other top-rated country except the U.K. America will use about 7 percent of taxes for debt payments in 2010 and almost 11 percent in 2013, moving “substantially” closer to losing its AAA rating, Moody’s said last week.

That is absurd.  11% to debt service.  But what’s it all mean, Basil???

Imagine Uncle Sam taking his beat up jalopy to TitleMax and cashing his check at the liquor store.

It means -  How many more “unexpected” jobs reports do you think you’re going to see before you learn to expect high unemployment?  Even Administration Lackey Gheitner admitted as much.  That was before this bill. This bill is a death sentence for small businesses looking to hire.

Lucifer got a new head librarian today and he’s already gotten to work re-writing The Bible as the tale of a struggling, working class imp denied a living wage and cast out of eternally subsidized housing by a Zionist slavedriver buttressed by embellished, anonymous and unsubstantiated accounts (narrated by Matt Damon):

Howard Zinn, the Boston University historian and political activist who was an early opponent of US involvement in Vietnam and whose books, such as “A People’s History of the United States,” inspired young and old to rethink the way textbooks present the American experience, died today in Santa Monica, Calif, where he was traveling. He was 87.

More empirical data that the good die young.

“Howard was an old and very close friend,” Chomsky said. “He was a person of real courage and integrity, warmth and humor. He was just a remarkable person.”

Despite Chomsky losing the un-American Simon to his traitorous Garfunkel, we can only hope that he will soon join him in blowing Cerberus for a few licks from his dog bowl while getting the hot poker to an endless replay of “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover”.

But it won’t all be fun and games.  As punishment for overflowing Hell’s antiquated sewage system with his bullshit, the Dark Lord then sentences Zinn to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” for all eternity in front of a waving American flag and a burning Soviet one with no reprieve – save a glass of water with a twist of lemon and a loaded shotgun.

Hey fellas! What’s going on?

I don’t know what Day By Day’s copyright standards are or I would have reposted it here but this pretty well sums it up.

Thanks to the gubmint takeover of the auto industry, the insurance industry and the banks – I was reassured to hear last night during the speech that we “turned away from the brink”. Turning away from the brink evidently doesn’t mean that we should stop having the gubmint takeover the healthcare industry though.

But what if…

U.S. mortgage foreclosure filings in August hovered near July’s record high despite broad efforts to keep borrowers in their homes and will probably rise for another year, according to a report released on Thursday.

Filings — including notices of default, auction and bank repossession — dipped 1 percent last month from July’s all-time high and were up 18 percent in August from the same month a year earlier, real estate data firm RealtyTrac said.

Ruh-roh. That would be the hyperpartisan, rightwing RealtyTrac calling Obama a liar for which they should promptly apologize and be censured for insulting the office of the Presidency.

“We had been thinking that this year would be the peak, but at the rate things are going right now, it’s appearing more likely that late 2010 might be the peak year before things start to moderate,” Sharga said.

You think you’ve turned the corner when the worst is yet to come. Wait for those state unemployment benefits to run out at the end of this year with our wonderful new and improved Jobless Recovery ™.

You can’t own a home without a job.

In the new Queen Zsa Zsa version of The Bible (Simon & Schuster), being written while we wait, today is a beautiful day for us to be alive – spiritual peasants though we are – for in 3 days time.  He will Rise again.  And we will see His Brilliance and laugh at our foolishness for trying to tame His Spirit:

Thank you, Glenn Beck. By helping force the resignation of Van Jones, you have done a great service to your country. But in the exact opposite way than what you intended.

Your vile and vicious smear campaign has helped reverse one of the worst examples of miscasting since John Wayne took on the role of Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.

Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can imagine.

Actually Zsa Zsa, dear, the worst miscasting was you playing the title role of “Wife” in the soap opera known as The Wedding of Arianna and Michael Huffington.

Contrary to the media caricature, the real Van Jones is a thoughtful leader who knows how to use words to move people to action. To stick him behind a desk, working out the details of tax credits for green jobs — incredibly important though the job is — was never the best use of his unique and abundant skills.

What a coincidence.  I feel exactly the same way about one Barry Hussein Carter-Obonga.  He would really be better suited giving marching orders than leading a democracy.  Democracy’s are messy.  And if I am to believe what the Vice President  of the Hair Club for Men says, he’s also a rather clean fellow.

I’ve watched him hold an audience spellbound at a wide range of events — from progressive gatherings to the World Economic Forum.

Which is like running the gamut from A, all the way to B.

And I’ve never failed to be impressed by Van. He is a remarkable man. One of the things I’ve always found so impressive about him — and something completely lost in the partisan mudslinging — is his ability to build coalitions and create unlikely alliances. In pursuit of a clean energy future for America, Van has successfully brought together urban youth with clean-tech entrepreneurs, labor leaders with business leaders, civil rights activists with environmentalists.

Foxes and henhouses.  Matches with gas.  Xanax with Ex-lax.

I wrote about how the staid and anything-but-radical heads of the World Economic Forum had invited him to their conference and honored him as a “Global Leader for Tomorrow.” Jones had been protesting the World Trade Organization in Seattle and the International Monetary Fund in Washington. But that didn’t keep him from exchanging ideas with the rich and powerful at the Forum, or from keeping an open mind.

“The people I’ve met here,” Van told me at the time, “are much more thoughtful, complex, and concerned about social issues than either the left or the media portray them to be.”

And I’m sure no small honorarium to a mutually beneficial foundation couldn’t help grease the wheels to understanding how much  more thoughtful, complex and for a negotiated rate concerned that the “rich and powerful” can be.  This is a global shakedown racket.

Isn’t it time we acknowledge that no human being with any passion and deeply held beliefs ever emerged flawless into the world? And that if every mistake, misstep, boneheaded decision, or error in judgment becomes an automatic disqualifier for public service, then we’re going to be left with a political landscape filled with nothing but wrinkle-free, foible-free, passionless automatons who have never made a mistake because they never took the risk of having an original thought.

Who hasn’t made a rap LP with one of our nation’s most notorious copkillers?  These kinds of “foibles” do just happen.  Admitting on video that you’re using the pretext of “environmentalism” as a means to transfer wealth and overthrow the capitalist system in stages to fight whitey as he’s poisoning the black community….oh well.

Who can’t appreciate that level of candor?   *sniff* At least he’s not dead inside like the rest of you. *sob*

Glenn Beck has taken Van out of his in-the-shadows position and thrust him into the spotlight. I told Van after his resignation that I hope he will take the extra attention and energy Beck created for him and, like a jujitsu black belt, turn the blow into an opening, an opportunity to transform the negative attack into something positive for himself and for the country.

Kind of like a woman who was taking her gay pretend Republican husband to the cleaners and parlayed that personal celebrity wreckage into one of the highest ranked leftwing websites today.

Never miss an opportunity to exploit a crisis.

The lecture tour awaits.  Now get back out there and start saying all the crazy stuff that got you just apologized for.

I question the timing.  And by that, I mean they were probably supposed to wait for the President to give a historic speech to soften the public up for what is to come:

Three people posed as insurance agents hawking President Obama’s health-care reform plan to gain entry to a Long Island home, where they pistol-whipped, shot and robbed two women and a man, authorities said.

…

Prosecutors said Thompson and Taylor approached a home on Virginia Avenue at around noon Friday, and then began to talk about Obama’s policies, while Jackson pushed into the door seeking cash.

Taylor allegedly pistol-whipped one woman, and Thompson shot another in the foot as Jackson led the man upstairs to retrieve some cash.

“When he didn’t get enough money, he shot the man twice in the neck, once in the back, and once in the chest,” said a Suffolk County prosecutor at the men’s arraignment.

Left-wing Spin Machine Powers Activate!

Under Obamacare, those people shot will now have access to free healthcare.  They should be thanking their Obamacare representatives for being so proactive in helping them to understand the urgent need for change that The American People voted for in November.

/We need a Beer Summit to solve this misunderstanding!

Stuart Schwartz at the American Thinker has penned a scathing takedown of Peggy Noonan’s obsession with Sarah Palin. It is absolutely brilliant.

It’s brilliant because it’s beautifully written and spot on, but it is also brilliant because it nails the liberal country-club leadership of the GOP in the process. Noonan is one of the standard-bearers of the elitist, liberal, big-spending Republican party – the anti-Jim Demint, if you will. It cannot be denied, Peggy is skullcrushingly jealous of Sarah Palin, and simply can’t tolerate us rubes in flyover country, period.

Can’t you just visualize Peggy sitting down at her Mac laptop, sipping an $8 Starbucks latte, eyes filled with rage and disbelief that someone left the servants’ door open, allowing this weapon-wielding guttersnipe into the comfy, elitist confines of the GOP?

As we always say – and this time I really mean it – READ THE WHOLE THING.

Speaking of the elitists in the GOP, who want to keep liberal Republicans like Charlie Crist and John McCain in power, they will be none-too-pleased to know that actual conservative Pat Toomey has pulled into a tie with former-RINO Snarlin’ Arlen Sphincter in PA. Now if Marco Rubio can gain some traction in Florida, we can really get a GOP purge underway.

The Obama arrives. After kissing the ground he walks on you may rise (still keep head down).

Racist Ghanaians beat on jungle drums (hint: it’s playing in the background) to reinforce negative stereotypes held by Western Liberals.

Praises area’s deceased Marxist first president.

Blames US companies who have tried to help them develop their farming as taking advantage of the system. (Part 3 – time: 1:50 – 2:05)

Praises the underdeveloped country for their lack of greenhouse gases but that the West is killing them with climate change and that all of their wars and conflicts are the result of that. (Part 3 – time3:35)

Lays out the idea of a Pan-African Marshall Plan.

The donor nations who send you their charity are in fact stealing all of your good doctors and nurses – that’s why you die of AIDS and mosquito bites. (Part 3 – time: 5:50) When a child dies in Africa, it’s out fault for not doing enough. (Part 3 – time: 6:50)

Yay! We’re going to send US troops to end African conflicts. (Part 4 – time: 3:00)

Hope, change, hope, blah, blah, blah – history’s on the move – yes we can, blah, blah, blah.

No offense, for Ghana history moved a few centuries ago. They sold the future of their continent as a spoil of tribal warfare.

Area newspapers ask for reparations on the labors of the slaves they sold and the labors of their freed children’s, children’s, children. Now, that’s chutzpah. Especially in light of the fact that they steadfastly refuse to honor their manufacturer’s warranty.

Eh, maybe we can just send them an invoice for the Civil War.
