Dede's Campaign Dies

Post #1,000

Dede Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for the NY 23rd Congressional District. Like the politically undead, she needs a frash, massive transfusion of cash. But in typical RINO fashion, she has refused thus far to endorse her conservative opponent, Doug Hoffman. No, she has stopped her campaign but not her aspirations nor her effort to go to Congress - she is still on the ballot.

So, instead of a bang, her campaign ends in a whiny whimper:

Dear Friends and Supporters:

Throughout the course of my campaign for Congress, I have made the people of the 23rd District and the issues that affect them the focal point of my campaign. As a life long resident of this District, I care deeply and passionately about its people and our way of life. Whether as a candidate for Congress, a State Assemblywoman or a small town Mayor, I have always sought to act with the best interest of our District and its residents in mind—and today I again seek to act for the good of our community.

She looks like she cares passionately about mashed potatoes and gravy. And with her concern for abortion and gay issues she certainly does not represent a typical Upstate NY'er; ergo the support forHoffman. Consider this NY Times analysis:

Political scientist Boris Shor did some sophisticated analyses of her voting record in the State Legislature, comparing her to legislators across the country. Her voting record puts her almost exactly in the middle of legislators nationwide. That means she’s a moderate, though slightly right of center in the context of New York.

But the Times did not refer to this bit of research, also done by Boris:

Scozzafava’s score puts her in the 58th percentile of her party, which makes her slightly more conservative than the average Republican legislator in Albany, so she’s a conservative in her party.[...]

But, of course, she’s a New York Republican and conservative. And if you thought that Republican equals conservative, and Democratic equals liberal, you’d be pretty far off when looking at America’s 50 state legislatures. New York’s Republicans (along with Massachusetts’, Connecticut’s, Hawaii’s, and New Jersey’s) are the most liberal in the country, so much so that Democrats in Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are all more conservative on average.

All this means is that the average NYS Republican ain't worth the powder to blow him to hell and gone. And you can burn NYS dems as the fuse. With Dede, the roles are interchangable. But back to the Whimpering Chronicles:

The opportunity to run as the Republican and Independence Party candidate to represent the 23rd District has been and remains one of the greatest honors of my life. During the past several months, as I’ve traveled the district, meeting and talking with voters about the issues that matter most to them, I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of support I’ve received as I sought to serve as their voice in Washington. However, as Winston Churchill once said, Democracy can be a fickle employer, and the road to public office is not always a smooth one.

I guess it doesn't take much to overwhelm this sow. Two lesbians handing her a Ding Dong and a bottle of YooHoo got her blubbering with gratitude. Unfortunately she couldn't get a nickel deposit on the empty YooHoo bottle because she needed the cash far more than the carbs. And what's with the Winnie Churchill quote? She is not in the same universe, much less the same league, as Churchill who brought his nation through WWII. She barely manages to fight her way through a double order of lasagna.

In recent days, polls have indicated that my chances of winning this election are not as strong as we would like them to be. The reality that I’ve come to accept is that in today’s political arena, you must be able to back up your message with money—and as I’ve been outspent on both sides, I’ve been unable to effectively address many of the charges that have been made about my record. But as I’ve said from the start of this campaign, this election is not about me, it’s about the people of this District. And, as always, today I will do what I believe serves their interests best.

Like a snow ball dancing on top of a furnace, the brave Dede considers if she should jump in or out. The problem is her voting record is the message. The amount of money needed to overcome that obstacle will require Soros-like contributions and la-la pills for the entire 23rd District.

It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my Party will emerge stronger and our District and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations.

Seems like Newt She released her supporters, all three of them, but she is not removing her name from the ballot. Dede would rather have the democrat Oswens win than see Hoffman off to Congress. All she is trying to do is avoid blame for an Owens victory. But she is right in one respect, the Republican Party will emerge stronger after this cow is culled from the herd.

On Election Day my name will appear on the ballot, but victory is unlikely. To those who support me – and to those who choose not to – I offer my sincerest thanks.

Dede

She has stopped campaigning; she must - she's just about broke. But she is still running. It is because of candidates like Dede that I no longer want to be affiliated with the Republican Party and why so many others feel the same way. For all intents and purposes, America has become a one party system. We'll see by this time in 2010 if anything has changed.

Doggone this is preciousssssssss.
I stole it from cmblake6 and he stole it from C&S and ... oh, just watch it.
Do it now!

Gee, This Sounds Familar

A new form of Russian Roulette is being practiced, Russian Road Roulette and it is an exercise in homicidal insanity.

SOFIA - Bulgarian prosecutors are investigating a new gambling game in which drivers defy death by speeding through red lights for bets of up to 5,000 euros ($7,400), the chief prosecutor's office said Thursday.

Known as 'Russian road roulette', the driver must jump red lights at busy intersections at high speed and not crash into any other cars or pedestrians, according to local media reports. Onlookers also gamble on the result.

[..]In June, two people died after a motorcyclist crashed into an onlooker at a similar rally on Sofia's ring road.

Sounds a lot like what Barack Nikita Obongo and his Czar Politburo are doing to the US economy. Fasten your seat beltinskies comrades.

Let Him Contribute As Worm Food

Lamaricus Davidson has been found guilty of the murders of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23.

The incredibly savage crimes of murder, torture, kidnapping and rape occurred in January of 2007. Little, if anything, has been mentioned in the media about the fate of these two white victims at the hands of black fiends. Even the idiots in the local media in Knoxville can't get it right.

They wanted the 4-Runner but wound up taking the lives of a young Knox County couple in brutal fashion, court records made public Friday reveal. "Originally the plan was to do a carjacking," a pal of fatal carjacking suspect Lemaricus Devall Davidson told a federal agent.

It's still not clear why the alleged carjacking confrontation between Channon Christian, 21, her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, 23, and brothers Davidson and Letalvis Darnell Cobbins turned fatal.

It's not even known yet where the deadly encounter began.

I can't stand the political correctness of the media when it reports black on white crime. The race of the suspects isn't mentioned anywhere in the article.

It wasn't a confrontation - that's like an argument. Example: "It's eight o'clock, go to bed, honey'" says Daddy. "Hell no!," says little seven -year old Shelly as she empties a shotgun into her father's chest.

It wasn't an encounter - that's a chance meeting. Example: Fred encountered his old girlfriend Selma as he slowly strangled the life out of her mother.

It. Was. A. Crime. Not a confrontation or an encounter. Get it?

Two evil sons of bitches wanted a car that did not belong to them and decided to steal it from someone at gunpoint. They conspired to commit a crime, they planned a course of conduct to accomplish the crime, they proceeded to act in a manner that would facilitate the commission of a crime and they actually committed the crime. That is a crime.

Wait a minute. Maybe if Obongo was President back in January 2007 they could have gotten their own 4 Runner through the Cash-For-Clunkers program. This way they could have carjacked an old wreck without a fuss (no one in hteir right mind would fight to keep a 1982 Dodge Omni) and traded it in on a 4 Runner! Obviously this is another Bushitler related double homicide!

But it ended early Sunday morning in a seedy rental house on Chipman Street, where Christian and Newsom were forced inside at gunpoint, according to state and federal court records.

Newsom was shot, bound and his body wrapped up in bedding and set afire, according to a search warrant application drafted by Knoxville Police Department Investigator Todd Childress.

Perhaps if an ACORN representative was there on Chipman Street, the five black fiends could have been registered to vote. Being empowered by the opportunity to manifest their displeasure with society at the ballot box, they would have just killed the couple without gang raping both of them. Another Cheney related torture would have been averted!

Gee, I wonder if this would be considered rape rape by forensic expert/scientist Whoopie Goldberg.

Police would find his body later that day discarded like trash along nearby railroad tracks. Two days passed before Christian's battered body was found stuffed in a trash can in the Chipman Street house where, records show, Davidson and Cobbins had been living.

These victims (found alongside railroad tracks and inside trashcans) were obviously homeless after their death. Davidson, Cobbins and Boyd were denied the opportunity to provide quality, affordable housing in which to dump their victims. Another travesty committed by the Bushitler regime! If only ACORN had been there; ACORN helps people apply for loans that support various crime scenes such as whore houses filled with illegal aliens! Why not provide government backed loans for housing murdered stiffs?

But despite the obvious linkages to the Bush administration, Knoxville jurors so far have found all of the participants in the Newsome-Christian murders guilty. The latest verdict came two days ago when Lamaricus Davidson was found guilty of murder as well as 34 other charges.

Yesterday the trial went into the penalty phase as the death sentence is on the table for Lamaricus. Of course there are people who feel that Lamaricus should remain alive for, well, whatever reason they can dream up. Listen to this crap:

Foster mother Flo Rudd and group home mother Alice Rhea told jurors Davidson is worth saving despite the fact that he turned to robbery and, ultimately, murder despite their efforts to rescue him from a troubled upbringing.

“He’s my son,” Rhea said. “I love him. He has such potential. If you put him in a structured environment, he does everything he should.

Death is an incredibly structured environment. I also promise that he will do everything he is supposed to do when he is dead. He will decompose, just as he is supposed to.

But there are other advantages:
He will provide employment for the funeral industry.
He will not waste oxygen.
He will not damage the environment by producing CO2.
He will not commit anymore crimes.

"I think he can be an influence to young men for years to come.”

I also think that he will influence other young men for years to come if his execution (public hanging is the preferred choice) is recorded (in HD of course) along with the execution of every other murderer and shown with projection systems 24/7 on the sides of buildings in our nation's high crime areas. He should be executed without delay. Let his victims' next of kin piss on his grave.

Justice delayed is justice denied. ~ William Gladstone

So What Happened?

ASM826 ya got me going.

Smiths' and Colts' cylinders rotate in opposite directions. Holding the revolver pointing away from you, Smiths rotate counterclockwise (I checked my mod 22 just to be sure).

That means that in the rotation sequence of the cylinder, the previous cylinder never was fired. The jacketed projectile is still in the cylinder while the cartridge next in line to be fired is missing the projectile. The chamber in which the bullet was fired has been blown completely out of the cylinder.

Curious.

Now look at the exploded chamber without a projectile sticking out the end; the edges of the casing are bent out. This indicates that the cartridge had powder in it that exploded. This (plus the projectile lodged in the remains of the chamber) means that there was NO projectile previously fired that could have blocked the barrel and that whatever the cause of this catastrophic failure, it was founded in the top center chamber alone.

There were actually four photos in the email I got from Al and I did not include this one since it was so similar to the other. But I see now that I posted the wrong photo since this one shows the forcing cone of the barrel as well as the cylinder walls. The other photo didn't. My apologies.

Look at the position of the top center chamber and see how it appears to be out of alignment with the forcing cone. I thought perhaps it may be that whoever loaded the weapon did not allow the chamber to "index" properly; that is the firing chamber and the barrel must be perfectly aligned in order for the projectile to enter the barrel properly and allow the rapidly burning/expanding gases to vent quickly. The cylinder stop tab usually accomplishes this purpose.

If the firearm was operating properly I don't see how this could happen. The internal mechanism of the revolver works to prevent any misalignment. As the trigger is pulled (double action) the cylinder is rotated and locked in alignment prior to firing. The same thing happens in single action.

Of course with wear the chamber can get slightly out of alignment with the forcing cone. There are several reasons for this. But when it happens, a small portion of the projectile may be "shaved" and ejected out the side of the weapon between the forcing cone and the cylinder.

I experienced this in the police academy when we trained on 30 year old revolvers (Colt OP's)that had a bit of "slop" in the cylinder alignment. Splinters of lead shot out of the revolver being fired in the station next to mine and embedded themselves in the back of my left hand.

It stung a bit.

From the looks of what remains of the chamber wall, this weapon was more than just a little out of alignment. Yet it does not appear to be that old.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Someone Please Turn The Lights Off

The NY Post has an article regardng a report that describes how residents of New York State are manifesting their displeasure with taxes by voting with their feet. It found that between 2000 and 2008

More than 1.5 million state residents left for other parts of the United States...

I have seen this with friends and relatives. I wish I had kept count of all the cops who retired and left the state (with their pension dollars) to pursue another career else where, primarily South Carolina and Florida.

The vast majority of the migrants, 1.1 million, were former residents of New York City -- meaning one out of seven city taxpayers moved out.

"The Empire State is being drained of an invaluable resource -- people," the report said.

Like a flock of pigeons, the facts fly over the heads of our elected pols. The most efficient producers are leaving. They are being replaced with those who are less efficient or who are only consumers.

It all adds up to staggering loss in taxable income. During 2006-2007, the "migration flow" out of New York to other states amounted to a loss of $4.3 billion.

There is something that I find offensive when the mass exodus from a once great state like this is measured by loss of tax revenue. Is that how we now view citizens - like cattle?

While New York City and the state were the losers, the Sunshine and Garden States were winners. more than 250,000 New Yorkers who lived in and around the city fled to Florida. Another 172,000 city taxpayers ended up in New Jersey.

Perhaps NY can sue these states for rustling.
But no matter. If Obongo has his way, all states will have the same lousy pastures and we'll have no place to go.

35 Years Ago

On the morning of October 24, 1974, I was a 25-year old rookie sitting in the Central New York Regional Police Academy. I don't recall what the instructor was talking about.

Syracuse Police First Deputy Chief John Dillion walked into our classroom and announced the shooting death of Trooper Emerson Dillion on the NYS Thruway at the hands of an armed robber.

Trooper Dillion was thirty-eight years old. There were twenty-five brand-spanking shiny new cops in the room. Suddenly our new careers did not seem so glamorous.


The man who murdered Trooper Emerson is up for parole next month.

The following is a transcript of a presentation from WSYR, our local ABC affilate, prepared by Christie Casciano.

Trooper's widow fights to keep her husband's killer from parole

Phoenix (WSYR-TV) - 35 years after her husband was shot and killed on the Thruway near Canastota, a state trooper's widow is getting ready for another round in her battle to keep his killer behind bars. The killer has been in prison for 34 years, and will be seeking parole next month.

The pain for June Dillon is still deep from her loss on October 24th, 1974. That was the day her high school sweetheart and the father of her six children was gunned down on the Thruway near Canastota.

Trooper Emerson Dillon had stopped a speeding car near Canastota, unaware the two men in the car had just robbed a DeWitt jewelry store. No notice was given to troopers on the Thruway. “He didn't know there had been a robbery,” June Dillon said. “He just saw a car and he didn't like it and he stopped it.”

Emerson Dillon managed to return fire, striking the vehicle, and his killers were later caught. While newspaper articles have faded to yellow, the memory of that dark day, and the days that followed, remain vivid to June Dillon.

“I was watching the noon news with our dog,” she said. “I said well Murphy, it's not us, because we would have known. But I was wrong.”

The man who shot her husband, John Ruzas from Queens , now 66, was convicted of second degree murder and has served the minimum. In November, he will get another chance to ask for freedom.

Dillon says Ruzas shouldn't be granted anything because he has taken so much away.

“He didn’t see any graduations, weddings, or babies,” she said. The day of her husband's funeral, and through the years, Dillon has received support from the law enforcement community, and she's hoping they and others will join her now in her fight to keep Ruzas behind bars.

“I don't think anybody who kills a trooper, or anybody who kills a law enforcement officer, should ever have the possibility of parole,” she said.

Ruzas comes up for parole for the eighth time in November.

For June Dillon, it marks another year of remembrance and heartbreak.

This is the link to the NYS PArole Board where you can submit a letter regarding the parole of John Ruzas.

WSYR reporter Christie Casciano is married to a Syracuse Police Sergeant. We all thank her for her continuous support and for being the one to finally calm her husband the hell down.

One of Trooper Dillion' s sons is a Syracuse Police Officer. I had the pleasure and privilege of working with him shortly before I retired. He is an exemplary officer and is still serving his community and his County in this honorable capacity.

The Kenyan's Queen

Michele Obongo is not an elected official, nor does she represent anyone other than herself - but Lordy Lordy does she require a lot of maintenance. She costs the American taxpayers nearly $2 million a year just to pay for her personal staff. This is outrageous. Unemployment is around 10% and she needs two dozen people to answer her phones, write her letters, wash her hair and shave her back.

From the Canadian Free Press:

Michelle Obama, as we reported on July 7, is not served by twenty-two attendants who stand by to cater to her every whim. She is served by twenty-six attendants, including a hair dresser and make-up artist.

The annual cost to taxpayers for such unprecedented attention is approximately $1,750,000 without taking into account the expense of the lavish benefit packages afforded to every attendant.

Little did American voters realize the call for “change” would result in the establishment of an Obama oligarchy.

The discovery of the additional attendants was made by D’Angelo Gore of factcheck.org and by calls to Katie McCormick Lelyyeld, Michelle Obama’s press secretary.

Mr. Gore launched his investigation of the First Lady’s staff in the wake of an article that appeared on thelastcrusade.org and Canada Free Press on July 7.
The article, which became a chain letter viewed by millions of Americans, reported that Michelle Obama requires more than twenty attendants - - more than any First Lady in U.S. History. It provided the following list of White House staff members assigned to the First Lady:

$172,2000 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
$140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
$113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)
$102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
$102,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
$90,000 - Medina, David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
$84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
$75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
$70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
$65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
$65,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
$62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
$60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
$60,000 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
$52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
$50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
$45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
$45,000 - Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
$40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
$36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
$36,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
$36,000 - Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

Perhaps this is part of Obongo's stimulus package. Half the country will end up working for the Wookie.

A Nation Of Birthers

Never loath to throw some gasoline on a smouldering fire, I tripped over this little item while browsing Lucianne (I do spend some time there).

This is a June 27, 2004, article from the Nirobi, Kenya, based East African Sunday Standard.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate
Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

So, the entire forking nation of Kenya is nothing but a bunch of crazy, psycho birthers? I mean, WTH?

Loons And Goons

While browsing through Lucianne's, I was directed to an excellent Mark Steyn commentary where he makes the following observation about Obongo:

When a man has spent his entire adult life in the "community organized" precincts of Chicago, it should hardly be news that much of his Rolodex is made up of either loons or thugs.

Ergo the title of this post. Mr. Steyn's excellent piece compared Obongo's rhetoric and actions to other world leaders past and present and how Obongo fails in the comparison.

Loons and goons.

What a recipe for disaster. It's like mixing shit and gunpowder. No matter what kind of fire you build under this mixture, it's still a basically weak flash that produces nothing but some smoke and noise.

We'll be exploring that as Obongo's term progresses.

Vote for Doug Hoffman

Dede Scuzzyhawhaw, or whatever this ugly, lying sack of excrement calls herself , has received Newt Gringrich's endorsement as the Republican candidate running for NY Congessional District #23.

Newt has his head up his ass.

Dede is another ethics challenged politician who sees her country and her community as her personal checkbook and runs from controversy by calling the police on people who question her.
From the Washington Times:

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, House Minority Leader John Boehner and the National Republican Congressional Committee are now in the position of endorsing thugocracy. Unless they withdraw their endorsements and financial support for left-wing Republican Dede Scozzafava, they will effectively condone a blatant, unwarranted and somewhat frightening attack on a free press.

Ms. Scozzafava, a New York state assemblyman running as a nominal Republican in a three-way special election for Congress, is no favorite of conservatives. Her extreme support for legalized abortion, close ties with the disgraced leftist social group ACORN, and record of high taxing and spending put her in some ways to the left of Democratic candidate Bill Owens.

Then, on Monday, Ms. Scozzafava moved even further left. A campaign spokesman in September had said the candidate opposes proposed "card check" provisions that would eliminate secret ballots in union organizing elections, but a union-friendly Web site reported on Monday that Ms. Scozzafava had told the AFL-CIO that she supports card check after all.

Understandably, Weekly Standard blogger John McCormack asked her after a speech Monday night which reported position is accurate. After she confirmed her unfortunate solidarity with the union, Mr. McCormack tried asking several other polite questions, but her staff hustled her away. When Mr. McCormack later spotted her in the parking lot, he attempted to resume his questioning, but again was rebuffed - and the candidate and her team drove off.

No big deal, right? Mr. McCormack is by all accounts a mild-mannered and polite young man. By his account, he sat in his car to file his report, only to be accosted a few minutes later by police in a vehicle with flashing lights, asking for his name and address. Yes, police.

Ms. Scozzafava's team had called the police on a reporter for asking basic, nonconfrontational questions.[...]

RedState also has a succinct summary on why Ms. Scuzzyhawhaw should not be allowed to make cookies for the local PTA much less be allowed anywhere near Washington, DC.

Calling Dr. Smith, Calling Dr. Wesson

Another email from my buddy Al-

A guy came into a department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new load and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. When the tweety birds cleared, this is what he saw.....

Dang. Just ...Dang.

This guy is lucky to be alive.

I'm thinking that there was a light load (perhaps no powder at all - just the primer went off) that lodged the preceding bullet in the barrel and the shooter didn't pay heed. Kaboom. Just look at the damage to the cylinder and the non-existant top strap.

US Navy Honors Our Presidents

The newest addition to our nations fleet of nuclear powered aircraft carriers is also a tribute to one of our nation's great Presidents, the USS Ronald Reagan. In the background in the USS Arizona Memorial. See how she dwarfs the Memorial.

The USS Reagan is a beautiful, purposeful and powerful expression of American military might.

Her top speed exceeds 30 knots, powered by two nuclear reactors that can operate for more than 20 years without refueling. Her capabilities are as awesome as her appearance:

1. Expected to operate in the fleet for about 50 years

2. Carries over 80 combat aircraft

3. Three arresting cables can stop a 28-ton aircraft going 150 miles per hour in less than 400 feet

Specifications:

1. Towers 20 stories above the waterline

2. 1,092 feet long; nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall

3. Flight deck covers 4.5 acres

4. Driven by 4 bronze propellers, each 21 feet across, each weighing 66,200 pounds

5. Steered by 2 rudders, each 29 by 22 feet and weighing 50 tons apiece

6. Has 4 high speed aircraft elevators, each over 4,000 square feet in area

7. Home to about 6,000 Navy personnel

8. Carries enough food and supplies to operate for 90 days

9. For her crew - 18,150 meals served daily

10. Salt water distillation plants provide 400,000 gallons of fresh water daily, enough fresh water to serve 2,000 homes

11. Nearly 30,000 light fixtures and 1,325 miles of cable and wiring as well as 1,400 telephones

Next is the USS William Jefferson Clinton.

The USS Clinton is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton for his foresight in military budget cuts and his conduct while holding the (formerly dignified) Office of President.

The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum beer cans and is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms or any type of weapon allowed on board. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter, is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs. An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may seem hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises all apologies will sound very sincere.

In times of conflict or whenever threatened, the USS William Jefferson Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada.

And last but not least....

The USS Barack Hussein Obama

The specifications for this craft are as vague as the President's past and the performance of this craft is as unstable as his economic policies.

Like the President it represents, this craft
1. Cannot not pass inspection
2. Is crewed by incompetents and communists
3. Cannot operate in European waters
4. Defends itself by "area denying" defecation and denial
5. When defeated in the simplest of exercises, the USS Obama blames other US Navy vessels for its failures and hightails it back to base.

H/T to my cop buddy Al.

Extreme Makeover Somali Style

Somali pirates are threatening to kill 25 Chinese sailors if any attempt is made to rescue them.

Beijing - Chinese officials are being tight-lipped when it comes to explaining what exactly they mean when they say Beijing will make an "all out effort" to rescue a Chinese cargo ship seized by Somali pirates on Monday.

But if it means they will take military action to rescue the crew, it would be the furthest projection of force from China for its navy in modern history.

Three Chinese military vessels are part of the international anti-piracy taskforce, but they are currently patrolling the Gulf of Aden, almost 1,000 miles from the spot where pirates seized the coal-carrying De Xin Hai and her 25 Chinese crew members.

[...]The pirates warned Beijing Tuesday not to try a rescue. "We tell China not to endanger the lives of their people with any rescue operation," an associate of the hostage takers who called himself Hassan told Reuters news agency by phone Tuesday. "If they try that we will execute the whole crew," he added.

The Chinese need to Tienanmen Square these pirate assholes. Jump on them like a panda with an overactive pituitary on a cream cheese egg roll. Moo Goo them until they're nothing but Somali Foo Young.

Why in the world are civilized nations allowing these vermin to terrorize international shipping lanes?

We should have never mothballed our Iowa-class battleships. There's nothing like 58,000 tons of pissed off steel and 1,500 swabbies standing 25 miles off your coast pounding you to dust. In Somali's case, we'd be pounding their rubble into dust.

The whole freaking country is nothing but a hell hole waiting for Extreme Makeover to visit so they can be upgraded to a shit hole.

Irena Sendler

Cookie threw this up at his place and I wholeheartedly agree that this amazing woman was a much more worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize than the disgusting choices the selection committee has made in the past few years.

There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewerspecialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German).

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack (for larger kids). She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms, tortured and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was not selected.

Al Gore won, for his inaccurate slide show on Global Warming and this year the Nobel Peace Prize went to Barack Hussein Obama who, as we all know, has accomplished little or NOTHING.

Let us never forget!

63 years later, In MEMORIAM - Irena Sendler 2/15/1910- 5/12/2009

Go to Snopes and read the LA Times obit for this amazing woman. It gives more information on her amazing life, the perils she faced from the Nazis and God's miraculous provision for her safety.

The Most High God did not provide for her comfort - He protected her and assured her safety.

America would be well served to understand the difference.

What To Watch

I was looking through our DVD's tonight wondering what I will throw up on the TV. I reached for the LTR trilogy when I realized that I can't bear to see it again. I have had enough of that whiny faggot Frodo. I want the Orcs to have their way with him.

Instead, I will watch Godzilla kick the ever-lovin' crap out of NYC and wash it down with home baked apple pie and slow churned pumpkin ice cream.

What Else Is New

Surprise, surprise. The White House controls the media.

TEL AVIV – President Obama's presidential campaign focused on "making" the news media cover certain issues while rarely communicating anything to the press unless it was "controlled," White House Communications Director Anita Dunn disclosed to the Dominican government at a videotaped conference.

"Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," said Dunn.

"One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters," said Dunn, referring to Plouffe, who was Obama's chief campaign manager.

What gets me is that they are so cock sure of themselves, so brazen and arrogant in their confidence that they will never be criticized for their actions. The lap dog media has been spayed, neutered and defanged. No balls or claws; just a whiny, useless mutt that pisses all over the carpet if you look at it funny.

Fox is the only station that won't stand down. Except for Beck, they ain't really snarling yet but I'll give them credit. They are professionals and actually have some sense of what a journalist is supposed to do.

Obongo and his puppet masters can't handle that. No criticism or complaint allowed on this here plantation, no sir. As we are marched off to the camps and ovens those sons of bitches want us to sing and dance about it.

End Of The Dinosaurs

H/T to my cop buddy Al.

Trick Or Treat

This is really bizarre. From the LA Times:

A 75-year-old dead man sat decomposing on his Marina del Rey balcony for days because neighbors thought the body was part of a Halloween display and didn’t call police.

Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed had apparently been dead since Monday with a single gunshot wound to one eye. He was slumped over a chair on the third-floor balcony of his apartment on Bora Bora Way, said cameraman Austin Raishbrook, who owns RMG News and was on scene Thursday when authorities found the body.

The poor guy caught it in the eye. Sitting on his balcony all by his lonesome and POW.
No one to miss him?
No one to check on a 75 year old man in four days? Very sad, very sad.
They must have smelled him from the street finally.

Ya Shoulda Paid The Man, Dave

According to the National Enquirer, Dave Letterman has been hit with a $300 million divorce suit by his wife, Regina.

Three Hundred Large.
Ya shoulda paid the guy, Dave.
Fork over two mill now or 150 times that later.
Plus perhaps some kinky, quirky love games might have remained secret.

The ENQUIRER was told the kinky late-night host maintained a fully equipped love nest, likes to play "dress up" - and even had a girlfriend parade around with a set of pom-poms pretending to be a cheerleader.

Gee, mebbe Dave also had dreams of owning a NFL team, heh?

Dave, Dave
He's our man!
If Dave can do it,
Anyone can!

The National Enquirer isn't my journal of record, but they did get the scoop on John Edwards' love child.
I can't ascertain how true this account is, but I'll apply the Dan Rather Standard of Journalistic Integrity: it is so good that it has to be true, no?

Or as McNorman opines:

Dear Dave,

UR SO SCREWED.

ROTHLMAO!

Glenn Beck Shows That The Joker Is In The House

The White House that is.

If you recollect, Heath Ledger's Joker in "The Dark Knight" had a rather disturbing habit of constantly licking his lips. View the short clip below.


Today on Glenn Beck's show, I viewed a video of Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, give public testimony on how her two favorite philosophers are Chairman Mao Zedong and Mother Theresa. That's right, Mao, the murderer of tens of millions of Chinese. This is the type of people that Obongo surrounds himself with.

Anyway, Beck showed the video of Dunn and almost immediately I observed that she licked her lips exactly like Heath Ledger in his portrayal of The Joker. She was sliding that thing in and out like a parched lizard. I'll try to get a copy of that video or link to it if Beck makes it available. The similarity is quite striking.

UPDATE - Here is the Glenn Beck video clip. Dunn is talking to high school seniors about her good buddy Chairman Mao and how he inspires her. Watch her tongue ...

Fan Mail From Some Flounder

Yesterday some guy named The Shadow left a messy dropping on one of my older posts from last January regarding the outbreak of bubonic plague at a terrorist camp. I described the plague and a little of its history and how it is spread. At the very end, in the very last sentence, I concluded: The Black Death:God's Biological Thermobaric Bomb delivered by the flea, God's F-16.

Here is the response:

The Shadow said... This post is offensive and absurd beyond limit.

Offensive? Soooooo, terrorists training to attack unassuming civilians and you're down with that? What's really ripping your ass is that I attributed the unpleasant deaths of these scum to God, as a form of His retribution against murderous cowards.

God wouldn't need weapons. Not only because God has other means, but also because God is forgiving, even to muslim extremist.

So what's the difference? What other means? If they all died from a STD or from mishandling explosive ordnance or from a meteor or excessive auto eroticism or eaten by a resurrected T. Rex what is the difference? They are dead and good riddance. God forgives those who ask forgiveness, seek His grace and turn away from their evil acts. The Shadow does not understand the simple mechanics of repentance. If you seek forgiveness, you are at a minimum expected to STOP KILLING INNOCENTS.

The difference is, those people are trying to keep their culture, language, religion and way of life, whilst you people are trying to convert the whole globe to your liking.

I don't know what religion you subscribe to, but you are constructing a very fragile argument. Muslim countries do keep their culture, language and religion intact. If there is any movement for change in the countries they control it is because we are no longer in the 7th century.

Many Muslims only grudgingly allow Christians to co-exist. In Pakistan, Muslims kill Christians and have destroyed many of their churches. In Saudi Arabia, Christianity is for all intent and purposes outlawed. In Egypt, they make things difficult for Christians, new Christian churches are not allowed to be constructed.

People in Muslim countries are murdered for converting to Christianity. Muslims are certainly defending their religion and their culture (it is very difficult to separate them) by murdering their own people. But apparently that's okay with you as long as they are also murdering people in non-Muslim countries and saying that it is in self defense.

Islam is weak. It reacts in homicidal fashion to any perceived threat whether it exists or not. The real difference is that Islam is a faith founded by a madman and spread by the sword.

I think muslims are better than you, pseudo-christians. That's because they are willing to die for their beliefs, whilst you are willing to kill for your beliefs.

It's almost as if you slapped this whole irrational comment together so you could tack on the last sentence, itself a meaningless exercise in linguistic double talk bull shit. These terrorists were in training to kill innocent people. They are hiding out in protected camps because what they are doing is deemed illegal in most countries of the world.

Sure, these terrorists are willing to die after they strap on twenty pounds of high explosives and wander into a bus station. Better yet,they are willing to die if an Israeli missile can find them hiding behind a residential structure while they are firing rockets or mortar rounds at an Israeli elementary school.

I am willing to do almost anything, including the taking of life, to protect my family and my community. I am not filled with joy at the prospect of doing so. That is the difference.

What Is It? Huh?

What is with these insane commie bastards and their personality cult/worship of political figures?

In the old USSR you couldn't turn around without tripping over a statue of Lenin or Stalin. Hell, they stuffed Lenin like a maggot filled manicotti and put his slowly rotting carcass in a frozen food display at the Lenin Mausoleum and Convenience Store.

Since then, millions of starving Rooskies have waited in yet another line so they can imagine how good Lenin would look covered with horseradish on a bed of tomatos and lettuce. For more balanced nutrition they'd imagine celery stalks sprouting from his ass.

In the Glorious People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Crappy Billboard Poster Graffiti Art has pasted slightly over eleventy hundred trillion portraits of Chairman Mao on every vertical surface in the nation. There are Chairman Mao recipes, Chairman Mao bicycles, Chairman Mao designer accessories and Chairman Mao garden gnomes.

We are now seeing the same rabid infestation here in America. Ever since Obongo imposed himself on our political landscape, we have been subjected to an ever increasing array of nauseating Obongo poster art, promotional items (thinking about getting some for target practice) and masturbation accoutrements (no linky love here - that is really disturbing).

I credit this marketing frenzy to the the less than ideal mental acuity of Obongo's supporters. As they are driven by emotion they are incapable of objective discernment, therefore they are victimized on many levels by shameless politicians and businessmen.

But I don't recall ever seeing someone else's face imprinted on the blue field of the American flag like this. Quite frankly, it is disturbingly reminiscent of the aforementioned countries where the beliefs of a few were murderously imposed upon millions.

No it is not against the law to do this. It should be, but it isn't. The flag code is not enforceable. It is just another ill advised attempt by a businessman to make a buck off some idiot who thinks Obongo is the answer to his prayers.

My Nomination For The 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

While grazing through Lucianne's I was apprised of the singlemost delicious, nutritious concoction on the face of the earth. Or for that matter, in its stomach.

The bacon cheese burger on a donut, or as I prefer to call it, the Police Quarter Pounder.

From ABC News:

[...] No, this isn't something out of "The Simpsons" or a reality TV show challenge. At just four inches in diameter, this little sandwich packs 1,500 calories. Meet the Craz-E Burger.

It's the latest bite of fair food to get attention this fall. It could be mistaken for your typical bacon cheeseburger from afar, but a closer look reveals the glaze of a fried Krispy Kreme donut.

This is a fast food junkies's dream. Believed to be invented by a bar owner in Decatur, Ga., who substituted a donut after running out of hamburger buns, he called it the Luther Burger, after Luther Vandross.

No matter the cost, we must identify the originator of this perfect confection for I am going to nominate him for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to law enforcement nutrition.

So, if you're at a State Fair in the near future, be sure to pound down a Police Quarter Pounder or two.

MMMM MMMM MMMM!

"The Nobel Peace Prize" By Marvel Comics

He was President for less than two weeks when nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
This isn't a joke, it's a cartoon, but it does not discredit Obongo. He does that all on his lonesome.

No. It discredits the Nobel committee who selected him. We have known for quite some time that the selection process was very political and therefore profoundly flawed.
This removes all doubt even from the most skeptical minds.

Birds Of A Feather

Ever since Whoopie "Rape Rape" Goldberg cried Havoc and let slip the dogs of Stupid I have been thinking, maybe this isn't all a Bad Thing™.

People are coming out of the woodwork to announce their support for Polanski. IMHO everyone of them should be investigated for having sex with children. Case in point:

President Sarkozy’s new Culture Minister, Frédéric Mitterrand, was struggling to save his name and possibly his job last night amid a storm over his past accounts of paying “boys” for sex.

The nephew of the late President Mitterrand, who is openly gay, was thrown on the defensive after opposition politicians homed in on a memoir in which he described his delight in visiting brothels in Bangkok.

“I got into the habit of paying for boys ... The profusion of young, very attractive and immediately available boys put me in a state of desire that I no longer needed to restrain or hide,” he wrote.

The autobiography, La mauvaise vie (The Bad Life), was a critically acclaimed [emphasis mine ~sig94] bestseller in 2005 and Mr Mitterrand, 62, a popular television presenter, was praised for his honesty. It rebounded on him this week after he leapt to the defence of Roman Polanski, the filmmaker, who was arrested in Switzerland for extradition to face a Los Angeles court for having sex with a girl aged 13.

Uh huh. Critically acclaimed.
By literary critics.
Lock them child molesting sons of bitches up.
Start with that idiot Mitterrand.

They Just Are That Into You

Seems like the lying sons of bitches in Congress just can't help themselves. They are addicted to ACORN porn.

From the Washington Times:

Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.

The grant to ACORN's Louisiana office became public on Oct. 2, less than three weeks after the House and Senate voted to cut off ACORN funding after employees were caught on video advising a fake prostitute and pimp on scams.

It only reinforces my belief that ACORN services Congress with bribes, campaign contributions, drugs, whores, boys, girls and anything else that these lying bastards want.

It was one of only three such grants issued to the state and made up almost 80 percent of the firefighting money earmarked for Louisiana, prompting one of the U.S. senators from the state to demand that the funds be taken back.

"I request that you rescind this grant based on a history of abuse of federal dollars by ACORN and their clear lack of expertise in this area," said Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana Republican.

It just makes sense that corrupt politicians are in bed with ACORN; that the ACORN chief organizer, Bertha Lewis, feels free to display her hubris so openly for all to see. She knows that a significant number of high powered pols are dependant upon her keeping her mouth shut.

I do not trust Senator Vitter as he made his presence known by his absence when the Senate voted to deny funding to ACORN several weeks ago. A missed flight was the reason given for his absence.

Pray for the State of Louisiana; pray for Gov. Bobby Jindal and State Attorney General Buddy Caldwell to uncover the festering rats nest that is ACORN. It doesn't seem that anyone else in Louisiana will.

Congratulations Rio

After all is said and done, I wish Brazil and the people of Rio de Janeiro much luck in their hosting of the 2016 Olympic games. I pray you will avoid the snares and pitfalls that other cities have experienced and that the corrupt politicians of Chicago would have embraced.

Bow Before Obongo

I saw this over to cmblake6's site yesterday and I was floored, stunned when I saw this video.

Spend a minute watching this clip and learn what it means to pray to a clay idol as ancient pagans did.



These simple minded yobs have lost all contact with reality. They have elevated a simple man, albeit charming, well-groomed, incompetent and truth-challenged, to the status of a god. This is idolatry reiminescent of the priests of Baal in 1 Kings chapter 18.

Go ahead and pray to him fools.

Fly The Friendly Skies

I have flown more in the past year (St. Louis a year ago and San Jose last July) than in the previous thirty years. But I think I would seriously consider taking the train if I ever had a flight like this:

Two pilots have been grounded after they allegedly left their cockpit mid-flight to trade punches with crew members in front of stunned passengers.

Severe turbulence broke out on the Air India flight after an air hostess accused the men of sexual harassment.

The 120 passengers watched as the pair left the jet controls to brawl in the aisle with the crew, the Times Of India reported.

As the row escalated the pilots threatened to divert the jet to Pakistan.

I submit the following with apology to Rudyard Kipling:

Tho' the stewardess is pretty,
And the crew done squeezed her titty,
Keep your damn hands on the control stick, Gunga Din!

Thank You Sir May I Have Another

Fox News reports that an Alabama judge is being prosecuted for charges of sodomy, kidnapping, sex abuse, extortion, assault and ethics violations. The trial starts this week in Montgomery. The judge

Herman Thomas had an enviable political record as a black Democrat elected and re-elected in a county overwhelmingly white and increasingly Republican. The respected circuit judge once was the Democratic Party's choice to be the first black federal judge in south Alabama.

Apparently, Hizzoner first started spanking inmates as long ago as 1999 under the pretense of "mentoring" them. He has since graduated to mentoring sessions involving more intimate approaches to behavior modification.

Thomas stepped down from the bench in 2007 after the allegations of paddling surfaced and just ahead of a judicial ethics trial that could have forced him out of office. He was indicted on the more-serious charges this past spring by a Mobile County grand jury. If convicted of the most serious charges — sodomy and kidnapping — he faces from 20 years to life in prison. The oldest incident in the charges dates to 1999, his first year as a circuit judge.

The first public claim against Thomas surfaced in lawsuits filed by an inmate in 2001 in Mobile circuit court and in federal court that claimed the judge offered to help him with his case in return for sex. Both lawsuits were dismissed, and Thomas' reputation remained unblemished.

I imagine he will argue that this was merely an innovative form of plea bargaining.

Letterman Video Confession Yanked

The nine minute Youtube video clip of David Letterman sharing his extortion experience and his penchant for sleeping with his female employees has been yanked for copyright infringement.



But there are tons of Letterman videos still on Youtube. One of the more fascinating ones is the one where the hypocrital Letterman responds to Gov. Palin's complaint about his tasteless jokes targeting her daughter. I refuse to link to it.


Obviously CBS is concerned about Letterman's image (he is after all a "property") and is reluctant to expose their property to further scrutiny. His is a hypocritical piece of shit and if this happened twenty years ago he wold have been yanked from the air so fast that this feet would have flown out between that gap in his teeth.

I do not know whether or not a campaign to boycott his sponsors has begun, but isn;t it interesting that people were screaming that the sponsors of the Glenn Beck program on FNC should pull their ads from his time slot? It appears that what you SAY to the liberals is more offensive than what you DO.

Not that many people read this blog but anyone who believes that Letterman should not be allowed to show his face on public (CBS airs their program over regulated frequencies) should contact his sponsors. This is a list that I garnered from thenewagenda.net that was posted last June:
Aveeno (owned by Johnson & Johnson)
Canon
Charmin (owned by Proctor & Gamble)
Citibank
Downy (also owned by P&G)
Hellman’s
Lexus (owned by Toyota)
Nissan
Rogaine
Ambien CR (from Sanofi Aventis)
bing.com (owned by Microsoft)
Centrum (owned by Wyeth)
Chase
Ford
Hotels.com
Listerine (like Aveno, above, owned by J&J)
Mazda
Old Navy (owned by Gap)
Samsung
T-Mobile

MMMMM MMMMM MMMMMM

The amazing oratory skills, unparalleled diplomatic prowess and magic persona of Barack Hussein Obongo and his lovely 1st Sasquatch have rescued the citizens of Chicago ...

from the crushing debt that would have been incurred had the 2016 Olympic games landed in their laps. It is just amazing that they failed in their bid as Michelle finally shaved her back in preparation for their IOC presentation.

Unfortunatlely Obongo's pals will now have to scramble about seeking other venues to satisfy their need for graft, corruption and bribes.

Top 10 Reasons To Believe Dave Letterman Wants To Have Sex With You

#10. Richard Simmons shows up at your home and hands you a business thong to wear to your job interview with Dave Letterman.
#9. During his monologue, Dave Letterman cornholes Paul Shaffer while screaming your name, phone number and address.
#8. During your interview for a CBS Late Show internship, Dave Letterman throws his pants instead of a pencil through the fake window.
#7. During your interview for a CBS Late Show internship, Dave Letterman introduces you to President Clinton as "My New Zipper Blotter".
#6. Dave Letterman sends his mother to your house with a fresh-baked apple pie and a picture of his wife.

#4. During your job interview, Dave Letterman says he wants to knock you up by screwing you during a Yankees game on top of Alex Rodriguez.

#1. In his "Stupid Pet/Human Tricks" spot, Dave Letterman wears a leash and dry humps your leg.


Let's be clear, I do not use Dave Letterman or any other person (celebrity or otherwise) as my moral compass. I have more than enough to do dealing with my own shortfallings and moral lapses. But Letterman makes a living out of exposing and mocking other people's failures in judgement (except liberal democrats of course) and after viewing his late night confession, he doesn't consider having sex with his employees a big deal.
He calls having sex with his employees "creepy" but I don't believe he is all that ashamed by his exploitive acts.

Judge for yourself.
(The footage is no longer available. CBS has yanked Letterman's video for copyright reasons)

He has crossed another line here. Just like his salacious and nasty remarks about Sarah Pallin and her 14 year old daughter, sleeping with people who are dependant upon you for their livelihood and then making jokes about it is beyond the pale.

What is creepy about this video is the jaded, coarse reaction of his audience. What he is talking about is not funny. There is something wrong with him and his audience. When we wonder what is wrong with America, look no further than Dave Letterman and his audience.
