Poor Man's Botox

NEWARK -- Six city women seeking backside enhancements have been hospitalized in the last two months after getting injected with mixtures of hardware-grade caulk, silicone and petroleum jelly, according to a report in the New York Post.

The New Jersey Department of Health reported the incidents, and hospital officials said the injections all happened in hotels around the Newark area, the paper reported. The women were all from the Dominican Republic. No one has been charged.

A spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Health also reports that the six woman now have backsides that are completely waterproofed and weather sealed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane.

Water, Water Everywhere But You Can't Have A Drink

England's public health care at it's finest.

A man dies - DIES - from thirst.

In an English NHS Hospital.

Surrounded, surrounded mind you, by public service doctors and nurses.

A man of 22 died in agony of dehydration after three days in a leading teaching hospital.

Kane Gorny was so desperate for a drink that he rang police to beg for their help.

They arrived on the ward only to be told by doctors that everything was under control.

The next day his mother Rita Cronin found him delirious and he died within hours.

She said nurses had failed to give him vital drugs which controlled fluid levels in his body. 'He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.'

He was denied critical care in a teaching hospital - of course they must be teaching public health care - AKA ObamaCare. Private health care is taught in other countries like the US. At least for a little while longer.

There is another description of the care this young man received:

"A person acts with criminal negligence with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation."

Unfortunately for young Mr. Gorny, reasonable people were not involved with his care; incompetent, useless assholes were. Public health care at its finest.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating the death of Kane Gorny at St George's Hospital after this was referred to us by Westminster Coroner's Court.'

A spokesman for St George's Hospital said: 'We are extremely sorry about the death of Kane Gorny and understand the distress that this has caused to his family.

'A full investigation was carried out and new procedures introduced to ensure that
such a case cannot happen in future.

'We have written to the family to explain the actions that have been taken and to answer their concerns about Mr Gorny's care. The family has also been invited to meet with trust staff to discuss the case in detail.'

The tragedy emerged a week after a report into hundreds of deaths at Stafford Hospital revealed the appalling quality of care given by many of the nurses.

Why is gross incompetence called a tragedy? Call it what it is, unconscionable negligence.

New procedures? How about new indictments? What kind of hellish old procedures were in effect when this young man died? What a crock of shit!

And then the grieving family is treated to the usual remedy offered by a government who cares not a farthing about their citizens. Public service unions make it impossible to get rid of dead wood who in turn produce dead patients.

The same sense of entitlement that permeates the welfare system has penetrated the health care system. Nurses are more interested in their perks and petty grievances than in providing decent care. Staff are not paid for being competent, they are paid for showing up. And as the bodies are carted out of the wards, the only ones paying attention to the carnage are the relatives.

This week a task force called on nurses to sign a public pledge that they will treat everyone with compassion and dignity.

A task force. What a useless, typically liberal response to a criminal act. I'd prefer competence over compassion any day of the week. Public service doctors and nurses will stand around with fake pity and compassion in their eyes while you slowly die from neglect.

And keep this in mind, the UK's National Health Service is the largest employer in the UK. It is also one of the largest employers in the world. One out of every twenty-three people who work in the UK do so for the NHS.

A total of 1,282,900 people in England have jobs with the NHS: 2 per cent of the 30 million people of working age.

Only the Chinese Army and the Indian State Railways are believed to employ more people — with 2.3 million and 1.5 million staff respectively — but both workforces represent a far smaller proportion of the national populations.

All that incompetence stuffed in such an itty-bitty island.

John Reid, the Health Secretary, said he was delighted with the growth, but added that he was aware that more action was needed to tackle existing staff shortages.

And they're not done yet.

Why Al Gore Has Disappeared

You must read this piece over to Red State. It is perhaps the best description of what is happening to the global warming scam I have read. Caleb Howe describes his transformation from a brainwashed youth

When I was 13 years old, science scared me. Not science itself, mind you, but the terrors of the future it foretold. News of the coming dark ages were delivered to our young ears through that most trusted of conduits, a high school science teacher. We’re killing the planet? I was shocked. What a bunch of jerks we all are! I remember so very clearly coming home from school, brow furrowed, and earnestly rebuking my parents for contributing to the destruction of the earth. RECYCLE! LIKE RIGHT NOW!! OR WE’RE ALL GONNA DIIIIEEEE!!!!!

to a sceptical adult to a nonbeliever.

So now I’m thirty-five years old, and although I eventually broke free, environmental hysteria has surrounded me ever since that day. And there is no hysteria more rabid than that over man-made global warming (anthropogenic global warming, properly, or AGW). Assuming you haven’t been in an alternate dimension for the last decade or so, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The world is going to be destroyed, Al Gore tells us with the earnestness and oratorical flourish of any panicked 13-year old, if we don’t do something RIGHT NOW!! To which the “global community” replied with a resounding FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!!!!!!

Al "Chicken Little" Gore and his band of fanatics are in denial mode and are too busy screaming LALALALALA with their fingers in their ears to respond to Senator Inhoye's requests for Congressional hearings into the scam of the century. And while the Brit papers are all over this, little has been heard in the USA regarding the outright lies and falsification of data used to buttress the claims for AGW.And still, that is not all.

In an admission that rocked the British and Australian press and was mostly ignored here in the States, Professor Phil Jones himself has now conceded that the period of medieval global warming, the mere mention of which would have you swiftly decorated by a scarlett letter mere weeks ago, might, in fact, have actually been warmer than the predicted peak of the current warming.

[...]Jones also revealed that a warming period between 1860 and 1880 occurred at a greater rate of increase than what the warmers themselves purport to be the increase of the past 30 years. These are extremely crucial points, as the extent of warming and the possible consequences are what drive any potential legislation such as what was proposed at Copenhagen in 2009.

It will take you a few minutes to read this article but it is well worth the effort. It encapsulates what I have felt for years.

The Communist Fruitcake

Remember the fruitcake your mother's second cousin mailed to the house every Christmas? It sat there moldering in the tin on the dining room table until well after New Year's Day had come and gone. Maybe one or two small pieces were cut out with a chainsaw by the more adventurous of your friends and relatives. It always disappeared before the Superbowl or as soon as Dad figured he could get away with trashing it.

Obozo is like that. He is here for a season and we will get rid of him as soon as possible without offending the relatives. We're all gagging on the Hope n' Change seasoning that congealed into a slimy coating covering the cake and the &%#ing retarded nuts scattered around in the cake are really obnoxious but, gee, it's Christmas and Cousin Edwina really means well.

The Party Of "Hell No!"

Thus spake Ann Coulter:

As the Democratic base has been hysterically pointing out, both the House and the Senate have already passed national health care bills. Either body could vote for the other's bill, and -- presto! -- Obama would have a national health care bill, replete with death panels, abortion coverage and lots and lots of new government commissions!

[...]The reason massive Democratic majorities in Congress aren't enough to pass socialist health care is AMERICANS DON'T WANT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!

In fact, you might say that the nation is in a boiling cauldron of rage against it. Consequently, a lot of Democrats are suddenly having second thoughts about vast new government commissions regulating every aspect of Americans' medical care.

If the Republicans have any brains at all, they'll become the party of "HELL NO! Not on our watch!"

Favorite Things

Julie Andrews never sang this version of "My Favorite Things" on her 69th birthday in 2004. Ms. Andrews had her singing voice destroyed in a routine polyp removal from her vocal cords in 1997. But this parody is still a hoot, and I find that some sections are starting to make a lot of sense...

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.

Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things.

When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad, I simply remember my favourite things,

And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.

Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.

When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.

The Money Tree

For whatever the reason, I decided to spend a half hour looking at back to back Michael Jackson videos on some entertainment channel that I normally never watch. The first one was "Thriller" and I enjoyed that song when it came out years ago, so I figured what the heck, I'll see some more of this man's offerings. After a few weird, crappy vids they then played "Billy Jean" which I also enjoyed.

What I really witnessed was the transformation of a young, handsome black man into a whited-out freak. The whiter he got and the more he hacked off his nose - the more he grabbed his crotch.

I also was exposed to my first sports Tampon commercial.

I tuned into the NASCAR race after that.

It really is a shame that everyone around Michael never tried to intervene, to stop him from stewing in the hellish juices that was the crockpot of his life.

He was a money tree and his friends and family shook him until all the fruit fell off. What was left wasn't pretty.

What Hero?

I just got through reading the online suicide note of Joseph Stack, the software engineer who flew his single-engine Piper Cherokee into an Austin, TX, office building. Apparently he not only killed himself but took another person's life as well and injured a dozen more. And he missed the IRS office he was aiming at in the first. This was not only suicide but also murder and assault.

But before setting foot in the cockpit, he sets fire to his house - apparently with his family yet inside! Was he trying to kill them also?

Of course no one in their right mind will condone these actions; my intent is not to affix culpability- Stack alone is responsible for his actions - nor to flail away at the government, although there is a wealth of material to be covered there. I am more interested in the notion being bandied about that Joe Stack is some kind of anti-tax Tea Party hero.

He is not a hero, far from it.
He is also not deranged.
He is most certainly selfish, self absorbed, perhaps narcissistic. Any man who loves his family more than his own life would not have chosen the path he took. His hatred for whatever the government did to him should not have taken precedence over his concern for the welfare of his family. And his blind, breathtaking disregard for the lives of other people stuns me.

His actions are more like that of a spoiled child.
If Joe can't have his way, then Joe is going home.
And he is taking all his marbles with him whether they like it or not.

In retrospect, how bad can life be if you can afford to own and operate a Piper Cherokee PA-28 airplane to fly around and visit your clients?

The Dog Ate My Global Warming

This is the darling of the East Anglia Kennel Association. I would like you to meet Snowball, the Global Warming Hockeystick eating beagle. Snowball is a very, very naughty girl for she has eaten the data supporting the AGW temperature increase. Bad girl!

Get a load of this from the UK Mail Online:

The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information.

Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the relevant papers.

Ahhhh, excuse me?

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

Will somebody please notify the MSM and that jug eared poser in Washington that there is no need to cripple our economy in order to accomodate the masturbatorial delusions of Al Gore?

It's Called Weaning

After 16 years in Congress and only a week after calling newly installed Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown a joke, Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is calling it quits.

Rhode Island Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy will retire after eight terms in office, bringing an end to his House career just months after his father, legendary Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, passed away.

"My father instilled in me a deep commitment to public service," Kennedy said in a video announcing his retirement. "Now having spent two decades in politics, my life has taken a new direction and I will not be a candidate for re-election this year."

Leaving public office is said to be as tough on a politician as being yanked from his mother's teat is for a six month old infant. Clutching a 12 year old bottle of Maker's whom he suspiciously calls his "Binky," Kennedy was last seen entering Politicians Anonymous Topless Grill in Providence. It seems like the recently departed Ted Kennedy both instilled and distilled his son.

Pat Kennedy's life's new direction involves a desperate search for a position where his dead daddy's friends can now take care of him.

Patrick Kennedy is Ted Kennedy Lite.

All the pandering
All the bad behavior,
Only half the booze.

Amazing Medical Inventions

Former President William Clinton was hospitalized this afternoon; he was admitted to Columbia's New York Presbyterian Hospital after complaining of chest pains.

Taking into account his legendary poor eating habits, doctors realized that ordinary measures would probably be defeated in the long term. Instead, they opted for something different; they inserted two stents of an experimental design into one of the President's coronary arteries.

In the above photo, a crack surgical team prepares the first of two surgical stents to be placed in ex-President Clinton's artery.

Nicknamed the "Bacon Double Cheeseburger Memorial Super Highway," these stents were manufactured for people with an LDL of 750 and over. In the event that Billy Jeff falls off the low chlorestoral wagon, doctors have also prepared a new arterial reaming machine to scour plaque from inside the new stents.

All funny aside - there are 2,976 people who died on September 11, 2001, because in 1996 Billy Jeff refused delivery of Osama Bin Laden from the Sudanese government. The good doctors at New York Presbyterian did exactly as they should, they used their skills to save President Clinton's life. Billy Jeff will face justice one of these days, the doctors only postponed it. And it will be justice far more terrible than whatever we can imagine trapped in our mortal coil.

The Ice Man Cometh

In a statement issued from his new estate in southern France, Chateau d'Gorcicle, climate genius Al Gore has issued new directives in his battle to combat mankind's greatest enemy - Global Warming.

These directives propose a revolutionary change to the way that the world will manufacture leisure products by taking advantage of global warming trends; that will not increase mankind's carbon footprint...

Aussie Solutions

There are times when you just have to kill something, and there is no room for half measures. Any civilized nation will allow some latitude in how it allows common citizens to address this need.

This is particularly true when it comes to wildlife that endangers your home and your family.

Gun control issues not withstanding, Australia just may stand head and shoulders above the rest of the world when it comes to this.

Australian farmers are being urged by authorities to use poison gas and even ammonium nitrate explosive to blow up rabbits, as biological controls fail, The Adelaide Advertiser reported in its Thursday edition.

A warning issued to farmers by the South Australian Environment Department urges them to "overcome the rabbit's tremendous breeding potential" by traditional means such as bulldozers, poison baits, fumigation, dogs and even explosives.

"Explosives are an alternative for follow up control . . . accreditation and training is mandatory," the information bulletin issued by the Arid Lands Natural Resources Management Board (ALNRMB) states.

I have a real serious problem with groundhogs in my backyard.

Lame Duck McCain? Maybe...

Arizona Senator John "Maverick" McCain has never been faced with the possibility of a serious Republican primary battle, until now. From the Vancouver Sun:

WASHINGTON — First John McCain lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race, humbling enough for a politician who had spent a decade pursuing his White House ambitions.

Now the Arizona senator is in jeopardy of losing his U.S. Senate seat amid a challenge from within his own party ahead of this fall's midterm elections.

McCain, a self-styled maverick who has never been a darling of the American right, is preparing for an unexpected primary election battle against a former GOP congressman who has the backing of members of the anti-establishment Tea Party movement.

That pesky Tea Party rears its head again. Arizona has a fairly robust Tea Party organization and McCain ... is McCain. His daughter Meghan is no help at all.

Hayworth was once a McCain ally, campaigning for the Arizona senator in 2000 when he ran against George W. Bush for the Republican presidential nomination.

But Hayworth has earned statewide recognition over the past two years in Arizona as a right-wing radio talk show host, frequently criticizing McCain for his past support of immigration reform, highlighting his votes against Bush-era tax cuts and casting him as weak on terror by opposing controversial interrogation techniques against terror suspects.

"The John McCain I supported for president in 2000 is not the same John McCain I've watched frustrate conservatives time and again as our senator," Hayworth wrote last week on a conservative website.

This could the year of Conservative Discontent when the parties finally start paying attention to tens of millions of voters who have had enough. They start paying attention when their main people get thrown out on their asses.

What A Difference A President Makes

God Bless our Armed Forces.

Even though the men and women who serve our nation so bravely are forced betimes to sip from the Cup of Political Correctness, no one can force them to drink deeply - or to swallow. Perhaps this is none so true as in the USMC.

No one can order a heart-felt, shake the walls, pound the table, rock star type welcome.

So, the question here is: Which greeting is for Elvis as he enters the auditorium and which greeting is for Tiny Tim?

The following is a comparison of a Marine Corps welcome for two different Commanders in Chief.

The difference is astounding!

Thanks Charley.

For those of you too young to remember, this is Tiny Tim.

If you're curious, that is the delightful Goldie Hawn escorting Tiny Tim from the stage. It is rumored that she scrubbed herself bloody after that take.

The Dips' In The Locker Room

From Wired:

[...]three junk-food sculptors honored Sunday’s Super Bowl by crafting a 7-foot replica of Miami’s Sun Life Stadium out of Twinkies, Slim Jims, Doritos and four dozen other snacks totaling 110,428 calories.

He caught a pepperoni pass and he could ... go ... all ... the ... way!

It's Not The PR - It's The Lies

From the TimesOnLine:

I thought of killing myself, says climate scandal professor Phil Jones

THE scientist at the centre of the “climategate” email scandal has revealed that he was so traumatised by the global backlash against him that he contemplated suicide.

Professor Phil Jones said in an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times that he had thought about killing himself “several times”.

He acknowledged similarities to Dr David Kelly, the scientist who committed suicide after being exposed as the source for a BBC report that alleged the government had “sexed up” evidence to justify the invasion of Iraq.

In emails that were hacked into and seized upon by global-warming sceptics before the Copenhagen climate summit in December, Jones appeared to call upon his colleagues to destroy scientific data rather than release it to people intent on discrediting their work monitoring climate change.

Jones, 57, said he was unprepared for the scandal: “I am just a scientist. I have no training in PR or dealing with crises.”

It is always a source of great amusement to me when a man is caught with his pants down buggering the neighbor's parakeet and all he has to say is that he doesn't know how to cover his lying ass.

This so called scientist sees the Climategate scandal in terms of damage control rather than the outright theft and misapplication of hundreds of billions of dollars in carbon trading, lost jobs and outlandish taxes based on his subterfuge.

Take note Sparky, it ain't the PR, it's the lies.

The incident has taken a severe toll on his health. He has lost more than a stone in weight and disclosed he is on beta-blockers and using sleeping pills. He said the support of his family, and especially the love of his five-year-old granddaughter, had helped him to shake off suicidal thoughts: “I wanted to see her grow up.”

He remains at risk, still receiving death threats from around the world including two in the past week: “I was shocked. People said I should go and kill myself. They said that they knew where I lived. They were coming from all over the world.”

And the Times is assisting him in his rehabilitation; one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on mankind has now been downgraded to an "incident." I wonder how many unemployed people in the UK and US had to go on beta blockers and sleeping pills because their life long occupations were eliminated when Professor Jones and his accomplices say that carbon is more deadly than plutonium.

Jones has temporarily stood down as director of the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia. He fiercely defends the unit’s science — “I stand by it 100%” — but now accepts that he did not treat Freedom of Information (FoI) requests for the data as seriously as he should have done. Jones believes that the unit was maliciously targeted with multiple FoI requests by climate change sceptics determined to disrupt its work.

If that's the case, why didn't they just post the data and let other people do the intensly scientific work in seeing how the climate change model was developed and how well it responds to the data?

Oopsy - they can't post the data because they lost the data!

Remember that? Again from the TimesOnLine:

SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

Those pesky FoI requests sure have a way of maliciously targeting scams, huh Professor? You propose draconian economic and political measures to save the planet and then lose the data that supports your position. You must think us all fools.

Professor Jones should do us all a favor and look into getting a prescription for oxygen blockers.

Not For The Faint Hearted

Just a little while ago, a fellow blogger went through a minor crisis of confidence. It was great to see the "blog support swarm" that answered him and helped him through a rough patch of road, for it is indeed a journey we are on. We exchanged some emails which I thought were rather enlightening and I am very glad to see that he is back in top form. He feels a little foolish about this very brief episode in his life. I just want to iterate a few truths - well, I see them as truths - as to why this happens and why he should take comfort from his experience.

Because things work out whether we like it or not.

WE ALL get discouraged.

Life takes its toll on us because .... We live.
It's that simple. It's not easy. It's not pleasant. Just simple - because, sometimes, life really sucks.

How we respond is important.

How family and friends respond can be even more important.

God tested Job by allowing Satan to take from him all that he loved. In Job 2:9, while Job is lamenting the loss of his entire family and fortune, his wife has this to say to him:

"Are you still holding on to your integrity?

Curse God and die!"

Of course Job responded, "Gee, Thanks honey!"

We need each other - that's why God in His Wisdom created us as social creatures. If you want, please refer to the first chapter of His Owner's Manual, Genesis 2:18 where the Manual states that "...It is not good that the man should be alone." Or futher on in the Manual where it states in Ecclesiastes 4:10 "If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"

It's the engineering. We are hardwired if you prefer.

We are all fellow travelers trying to reach the same destination. We really can't describe where we are going, we don't even agree with all the other passengers on how to get there, but we all want the same thing. That's what freedom is. Life, liberty and the pursuit of whatever it is that keeps us sane and happy without pissing off too many other people who are seeking the same thing. That's why good fences make good neighbors.

And we see that all going to hell in a handbasket.

Don't be discouraged, don't give up. We have just joined a decades old battle and the best thing to do is stick together. If you see someone fall, stop what you're doing and help him get back on his or her feet. Dust them off. See what else you can do for them and rejoin the battle as quickly as possible.

Pray for each other - that's really important.
Pray for our Country.

So Long For Now Nickie

Although disbanded upon the direct orders of Nickie G. and under not very subtle threat (I found a pair of varicose vein support stockings on my porch this morning), the reporters of GNN have remained faithful to our select audience.

We have diligently researched all the rumors (and started a few of our own) on the reasons why Nickie recently disappeared from GNN circles, leaving a trail of broken hearts, disappointed fans and dented Louisville Sluggers.

At last the truth can be told.

Nickie - don't stay away too long.

Thanks for the video Charlie, it just felt right!

From the NY Post:

Muslim chaplain 'smuggled' box-cutter blades into jail
By REUVEN BLAU and DAN MANGAN
Last Updated: 8:38 PM, February 3, 2010
A city Department of Correction Muslim chaplain who served 14 years in prison for murder and robbery was arrested today for carrying three utility blades and a pair of scissors into a lower Manhattan jail — the latest in a series of black eyes for that facility, authorities said.

The chaplain, Zulqarnain Abdu-Shahid, had the utility blades and scissors in his duffel bag when he arrived at the Manhattan Detention Complex in the morning, according to the city Department of Investigation.

The dangerous items were found after an X-ray machine alerted correction officers to the presence of metal in the bag, the DOI said.

[...]Abdu-Shahid was hired as a Muslim imam chaplain by the DOC three years ago tomorrow, and has a salary of $49,471 annually.

State Corrections Department records show that he entered state prison in September 1979 to begin serving a sentence of 15-years-to-life for a second-degree murder and a first-degree robbery committed in Manhattan. He was paroled in August 1993, and finished his parole in August 2001.

According to news accounts at the time, the cleric, a Brooklyn resident then known as Paul Pitts, was convicted with three other defendants in 1979 after the longest criminal trial in New York State Supreme Court history – one year, three months and three days. Pitts and his co-defendants had held up a Harlem supermarket on Dec. 9, 1976, and during the robbery shot and killed a 30-year-old customer named Philip Crawford.

The Post also has learned that his criminal record includes an arrest for sexual assault in Queens, but that case later was dismissed.

Abdu-Shahid’s lawyer, McQueeney, said, "He’s been out of prison since the early ’90s. He’s completely reformed."

Another successful jailhouse conversion.

And Now We Know

While waiting in various doctors offices, you get an opportunity to catch up on reading that you wouldn't ordinarily be bothered with, particularly with regard to popular culture magazines. So I perused a pile of dated magazines and found an issue of Star magazine from last July that contained this nugget:

Jennifer Aniston, 40, has always had a radiant complexion, but she may have discovered a winning under eye treatment - Preparation H hemorrhoid cream!

[...] Preparation H tightens the skin and keeps puffiness down, thanks to one of its main ingredients: mineral oil.

Some things are better left in the realm of the unknown. But I am now considering using Visine in a rather unusual place.

Unfortunately we have to get the latest news on the global warming scam from the Brits as American newspapers are no where to be found. From the Telegraph:

Amazongate: new evidence of the IPCC's failures
The IPCC is beginning to melt as global tempers rise, says Christopher Booker

It is now six weeks since I launched an investigation, with my colleague Richard North, into the affairs of Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the hugely influential body which for 20 years has been the central driver of worldwide alarm about global warming. Since then the story has grown almost daily, leading to worldwide calls for Dr Pachauri's resignation. But increasingly this has also widened out to question the authority of the IPCC itself. Contrary to the tendentious claim that its reports represent a "consensus of the world's top 2,500 climate scientists" (most of its contributors are not climate experts at all), it has now emerged, for instance, that one of the more widely quoted scare stories from its 2007 report was drawn from the work of a British "green activist" who occasionally writes as a freelance for The Guardian and The Independent.

Lies and damned lies. Al Gore's gonna rot in hell for this; maybe even get some quality rot time in a federal prison as well. The scam is falling apart and the newspaper here in the States can't be bothered.

Last week I reported on "Glaciergate", the scandal which has forced the IPCC's top officials, led by Dr Pachauri, to disown a claim originating from an Indian glaciologist, Dr Syed Husnain, that the Himalayan glaciers could vanish by 2035. What has made this reckless claim in the IPCC's 2007 report even more embarrassing was the fact that Dr Husnain, as we revealed, was then employed by Dr Pachauri's own Delhi-based Energy and Resources Institute (Teri). His baseless scaremongering about the Himalayas helped to win Teri a share in two lucrative research contracts, one funded by the EU.

There should be grand juries and their equivalent organs of criminal inquiry springing into action all over the world. You should be able to walk across the Atlantic on the subpeonas alone.

[...] Dr. North next uncovered "Amazongate". The IPCC made a prominent claim in its 2007 report, again citing the WWF as its authority, that climate change could endanger "up to 40 per cent" of the Amazon rainforest – as iconic to warmists as those Himalayan glaciers and polar bears. This WWF report, it turned out, was co-authored by Andy Rowell, an anti-smoking and food safety campaigner who has worked for WWF and Greenpeace, and contributed pieces to Britain's two most committed environmentalist newspapers. Rowell and his co-author claimed their findings were based on an article in Nature. But the focus of that piece, it emerges, was not global warming at all but the effects of logging.

The IPCC needs to be RICO'd out of existence. For all intents and purposes it is a criminal enterprise that supports a vast, world-wide extortion racket. And on June 26, 2009, the US House of Representatives joined their ranks by passing H.R. 2454, the infamous cap and trade legislation, so they too can use our tax dollars in another environmental shell game.

[...] Professor Frederick Seitz, a former president of the US National Academy of Sciences, who wrote that in all his 60 years as a scientist he had never seen "a more disturbing corruption" of the scientific process, and that if the IPCC was "incapable of following its most basic procedures", it was best it should be "abandoned".

The centrepiece of the IPCC's 2001 report was Michael Mann's notorious "hockey stick", the graph purporting to show temperatures in the late 20th century soaring at an unprecedented rate – later exposed as a statistical artefact. Another new book, The Hockey Stick Illusion by A W Montford, brilliantly tells the bizarre tale of how Mann's colleagues, calling themselves "the Hockey Team" and now at the heart of the IPCC, managed to resurrect the discredited graph for inclusion in its 2007 report. Montford's book, if inevitably technical, expertly recounts a remarkable scientific detective story. And of course, it was incriminating leaked emails between members of the Hockey Team that were at the centre of the recent "Climategate" scandal at the University of East Anglia.

Compared to the IPCC and our own government, Bernie Madoff is a piker, a shlemiel. He can't hold a candle to the thieves we elected as national legislators.

Compared to the IPCC and our own government, Bernie Madoff is a piker, a shlemiel. He can't hold a candle to the thieves we elected as national legislators. But the American press still holds fast to the AGW fairytale which would cost billions and destroy what's left of the American economy.

But they will report on some Baptists trying to rescue children from the hellhole known as Haiti. Only they'll call them kidnappers.

Ovaries? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Ovaries

Abortion Rights.
Remember the libber t-shirt?
"Women Need Men Like A Fish Needs A Bicycle"

The National Organization for Women is having a cow (well, they would try if their ovaries weren't afraid to pop out an egg) over a proposed Superbowl ad featuring one of the best college quarterbacks in history and how his mom refused to abort him when she found out that her pregnancy was high risk. From the Washington Post, this ad tells:

[...] the story of her decision 23 years ago to ignore medical advice and continue a risky pregnancy. Pam Tebow had contracted amoebic dysentery, and her doctors feared that the medicine used to treat her illness might cause fetal deformity.

The healthy and very successful Tim proved them wrong.

Pro-choice advocates were shocked when CBS appeared to violate internal policy and accepted this spot -- reportedly at a price of at least $2.5 million -- produced and paid for by Focus on the Family, a conservative antiabortion, anti-gay group. Though CBS says it has altered its policy, the networks have consistently rejected advocacy ads on controversial topics. The United Church of Christ was turned down by CBS in 2004 when it wanted to air a Super Bowl ad that celebrated diversity and welcomed gay and lesbian Christians to the denomination. And last year NBC rejected a spot from an antiabortion group that tried to use President Obama's life story to convey its message. The rules of the game seem to have changed without warning.

Too bad.
If they want to, N.O.W. can produce its own 30-second slot extolling the virtues of killing your children. Otherwise STFU.

Let The Arguments Begin

U.S. Supreme Court Grants NRA Motion For

Divided Argument In McDonald v. City of Chicago

Friday, January 29, 2010

On Monday, January 25, the U.S. Supreme Court granted NRA’s motion to allow it to participate in the upcoming oral argument in McDonald v. City of Chicago.

“We are pleased with the Court’s decision to grant our motion,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox. “NRA’s solitary goal in McDonald is to ensure that our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms applies to every law-abiding American in every state. We are hopeful that the Court will share our view that the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment clearly intended to apply the Second Amendment to the states.”

Last September, the Court agreed to consider the McDonald case, on appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. That court incorrectly claimed that prior Supreme Court precedent prevented it from holding in favor of incorporation of the Second Amendment. NRA believes the Seventh Circuit should have followed the lead of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Nordyke v. King, which found that Supreme Court precedent does not prevent the Second Amendment from applying to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. As a party in McDonald, NRA looks forward to participating in the upcoming oral argument.

Kick off is March 2, 2010 at 10 am.

Karl Rove, You Magnificant Bastard!

I took a screen shot of this official Cuba website after I had Google translate it into English, well Spanglish. This site is called the Truths of Cuba. As well as cigars, the Cubans are now exporting drooling asshattery.

The commies are claiming that the US is testing earthquake weapons and decided to take a shot at Haiti.

I shit you not.

The article goes on to state that:

Since the late 1970s, the U.S. has "made tremendous progress" state of its weapons of earthquakes and, according to these reports, now employs a technology devices using Pulse, Plasma Tesla Electromagnetic and Sonic along with "waves pump shock. The report also compares the U.S. Navy testing of two of these weapons of earthquakes last week, when the test in the Pacific caused an earthquake of magnitude 6.5 hit the area around the town of Eureka, California without causing deaths, but with your proof in the Caribbean and caused the deaths of at least 140,000 innocent.

As the report said, is "more than likely" that the U.S. Navy has had "full knowledge" of the catastrophic damage that this test could have potentially earthquake on Haiti and had pre-positioned their Commander Southern Command Officer, General PK Keen on the island to oversee relief efforts if needed.

As the final outcome of the tests of these weapons by the United States, warns the report, is the United States plan the destruction of Iran through a series of earthquakes designed to topple the current Islamic regime. According to the report, the system experienced by the United States (HAARP) would also create weather anomalies to cause floods, droughts and hurricanes.

[...] The Pentagon said the hospital ship USNS Comfort, which was anchored in Baltimore, began to call the crew to leave for Haiti, although it could be days until the arrival of the vessel. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said the U.S. military was working preparing the emergency response to this desastre. Fraser, Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), said cutter boats States Coast Guard US Navy ships in the region were also sent to offer help but have relief supplies and helicopters limited. The super carrier USS Carl Vinson will be sent to the naval base at Norfolk, Virginia, with a full complement of planes and helicopters arrived in Haiti in the early afternoon of January 14, said Fraser. Additional groups of helicopters would join the Vinson said.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), already operating in Haiti before the earthquake. President Obama was informed of the earthquake at 5:52 pm on Jan. 12 and asked his staff to ensure that employees of the embassy are safe and to begin preparations to provide the necessary humanitarian aid.

According to Russian reports, the State Department, USAID and the Southern Command of the United States began its work of "humanitarian invasion" by sending at least 10,000 soldiers and contractors, to control now, instead of the UN, Haitian territory after the devastating earthquake experimental.

I guess this is the mother lode for all the Kos kids and their authentic blueprints for a Carl Rove Earthquake Machine O'Doom.

Incredible.

In The Hands Of Children

Charlie the Cop sent me the following video clip of an Iraqi wedding reception. The celebration ended in tragedy because an adult acted recklessly and a child was not supervised.

As you watch this, I want you to use the following imagery; the adult is the US economy and the reckless child is Congress. The results are about the same.


The kid at the reception was too young to understand the risk he assumed when he took hold of the pistol. The results were predictable.

We expect our Senators and Representatives to understand the risks we all assume when they vote on spending measures. Again, the results were entirely predictable. The legislators and administration officials responsible for this financial debacle must be hald accountable for their reckless actions.

Test Your Aptitude To Be A Border Patrol Agent

Illegal aliens are natural chameleons, they have learned to blend in with the crowd. They do not draw attention to themselves. It takes years of training for a Border Patrol Agent to learn how to identify and apprehend these living shadows hiding out in the open.

It requires patience, discernment and development of your situational awareness skills.

Do you have what it takes?

Watch this video. Perhaps there is a career in the US Border Patrol waiting for you!



A big H/T to Charlie the ChiTown Cop.

I just know that Charlie would have picked this person out in a heart beat.
He has a nose for this kind of stuff.

Lions N' Tigers N' Cockroachs ... Oh My

This article in the NY Post will give fresh insight as the Curtain of Incompetency gets ripped off the White House control booth.

We the people of the United States owe Scott Brown's supporters a huge debt of gratitude. They didn't merely elect a senator. They ripped the façade off the Obama presidency.

Just as Dorothy and Toto exposed the ordinary man behind the curtain in "The Wizard of Oz," the voters in Massachusetts revealed that, in this White House, there is no there there.

It's all smoke and mirrors, bells and whistles, held together with glib talk, Chicago politics and an audacious sense of entitlement.

At the center is a young and talented celebrity whose worldview, we now know, is an incoherent jumble of poses and big-government instincts. His self-aggrandizing ambition exceeds his ability by so much that he is making a mess of everything he touches.

He has revealed himself to be a hollow, shallow ghost of a man. This is not a man that can be trusted with a paper route much less the Presidency.

He never advances a practical idea. Every proposal overreaches and comes wrapped in ideology and a claim of moral superiority. He doesn't listen to anybody who doesn't agree with him.

After his first year on the job, America is sliding backwards, into grave danger at home and around the world. So much so that I now believe either of his rivals, Hillary Clinton or John McCain, would have made a better, more reliable and more trustworthy president.

They warned us he wasn't ready.

It's not a matter of being ready. Cocker spaniels and cockroachs will never be ready to perform brain surgery no matter how hard you try to prepare them - it's their nature, they don't change.

Hoping that your hood ornament will be able to sing "Nessum Dorma" one day doesn't cut it either. Thanks fiddy-two'ers, you elected an ashtray to the Presidency.

One Brick At A Time

Thursday's Supreme Court 5-4 decision on Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission was a political tsunami that has weakened the foundations of the McCain-Finegold restrictions on political speech.

From Frontpage Magazine:

Can the government suppress free speech critical of elected politicians? In the home of the First Amendment, that may seem an unusual question to pose. But that was the question before the Supreme Court this week, as it handed down a landmark ruling in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court struck down a ban on corporations and labor unions using money from their general funds to produce and air campaign ads in races for Congressional and presidential races. Also overturned was a ban on corporations and unions airing campaign ads 30 days before primary or 60 days before general election.

The case in question dates back to January 2008, when the conservative non-profit group Citizens United produced a documentary critical of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton titled Hillary: The Movie. When the Federal Election commission used the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law to limit Citizen United’s ability to advertise the film during the 2008 presidential primaries, the group sued to protest the restriction on free speech.

This week, the Supreme Court ruled in Citizen United’s favor. In so doing, it won approval from free-speech advocates and strident criticism from many on the political Left.

The libs are going ballistic as their influence will be diluted; corporate donations will now be able to challenge the power of unions and special interests that cater to the political left. It's as if the bottom flap on the Democrat's Dr. Denton's pj's have suddenly been ripped open.

Rush Limbaugh's site has this to say about the Supreme's decision (Rush is quoting a Washington Post article).

It all started with David Bossie, "a veteran Republican campaign operative who made his mark investigating the Clintons, thought his group could offer a conservative answer to Michael Moore’s successful films. After Moore’s 'Fahrenheit 9/11' premiered in 2004, Bossie’s Citizens United group released 'Celsius 41.11.'And after it became clear that Bossie’s longtime enemy Hillary Rodham Clinton would run for president, Citizens United released another flick: 'Hillary: The Movie.' Featuring a who’s-who cast of right-wing commentators, the 2008 film takes viewers on a savaging journey through Clinton’s scandals. The sole compliment about the then-senator comes from conservative firebrand Ann Coulter: 'Looks good in a pantsuit.' But 'Hillary: The Movie' never became a blockbuster. The Federal Election Commission restricted Citizens United’s ability to advertise the film during the 2008 primary season, a decision that Bossie and other conservative activists saw as a threat to their freedom of speech. 'The marketplace for my movie was completely and totally shut down by the Federal Election Commission,' Bossie said in an interview Thursday. So he sued -- and thus was born Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

"Bossie said Ted Olson was 'singularly responsible for our winning this case.' Olson transformed the case from a narrow one about McCain-Feingold to an assault on the law's constitutionality, helping crystallize the issue for the justices. When the Supreme Court first heard the case in March, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm L. Stewart, representing the FEC --" this is Obama's lawyer "-- was pulled into a discussion of an issue that took him down a slippery slope: If the movie were a book, would the government ban publishing the book if it mentioned a candidate for office within the election timeframe?" And this guy representing the FEC said, yes, the government would ban the book, and the justices shot up, stood up and said what the hell are you talking about. 'That's pretty incredible,' Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. said. Then came questions about electronic devices such as the Kindle. 'If it has one name, one use of the candidate's name, it would be covered, correct?' Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked. 'That's correct,' Stewart replied. 'It's a 500-page book, and at the end it says, 'And so vote for X,' the government could ban that?' Roberts asked." The government lawyer said yes. He had to. If he's going to ban a movie, he's gotta be consistent. "Bossie said this was the argument that turned a majority of the bench against the FEC and in favor of Citizens United."

Bear in mind that this was a "bitterly contested," 5-4 split decision.

Justices Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas supported the reversal of the lower courts decision. Opposed were Breyer, Ginsburg, Stevens and Sotomayor. It is frightening to think that only one vote made the difference; that four out of nine Supreme Court Justices have so little regard for Constitutional freedoms (except of course for criminals and terrorists).

From the WashPost article, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm L. Stewart, representing the FEC, doomed the government's case:

"That sent a chill down the Supreme Court," Bossie said. The argument became a "point of demarcation."

Citizens United spent about $1.25 million in legal fees on the case -- so much, Bossie said, that it "makes you cry."

But, he said, it was worth every dollar.

"We have been trying to defend our First Amendment rights for many, many years," Bossie said. "We brought the case hoping that this would happen. . . . to defeat McCain-Feingold."

And why was this so important? Our freedom is under seige from socialists and their corrupt union allies. Read what SEIU President Andy Stern had to say about the 2008 Presidential elections and how one union alone can make a diffference:

"We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama -- $60.7 million to be exact -- and we're proud of it."

The behemoth labor organization's leadership is getting its money's worth. Whether rank-and-file workers and ordinary taxpayers are profiting from this ultimate campaign pay-for-play scheme is another matter entirely.

The two-million-member union, which represents both government and private service employees, proudly claimed that its workers "knocked on 1.87 million doors, made 4.4 million phone calls and sent more than 2.5 million pieces of mail in support of Obama." It dispatched SEIU leaders to seven states in the final weekend before the election to get out the vote for Obama and other Democrats.

Through a series of local chapter takeovers and bully campaigns to destroy the reputation of executives who refuse to submit to their will, Stern and his scandal-plagued lieutenants have consolidated low-skill service workers to create a 21st century labor empire. The ubiquitous Stern now enjoys a prominent seat at the table of every major policy discussion at the White House, including economic recovery and health care radicalization.

Something Stupid This Way Comes

In the early morning hours, when time seems to actually stand still as the distant dawn approaches, a huge multi-engine jet aircraft approaches the McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas. Air traffic controllers clear all runway approaches of competing aircraft and guide Air Force One and it’s accompanying Combat Air Patrol F-16’s to an open landing strip.

As the huge craft touches down there is an eerie silence – the tires smoke but there is no accompanying screech of tortured rubber. Instead, there is the sudden mournful baying of wolves and coyotes. There is no howl of reverse thrust as the craft sharply reduces velocity – only a soft moaning as if the turbofans are being released from a hellish burden.

The white and blue craft moves in concert with the arm motions of the ground crew towards a protected gate, but the ground crew cannot see the pilot or any other crew member through the cockpit windows; it as if there is no human hand at the controls. Baggage handlers standing by the gate feel a cold chill race down their spines and their hands go numb as they see that the enormous tires of the jet plane are not touching the ground, the plane glides silently towards the mobile stairway where Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and their entourage await.

The stairs are moved to the fore entry port of Air Force One; sparks erupt and a powerful odor of sulphur fills the air as the aluminum frame of the mobile aircraft passenger stairway engages the cold, dead iron of the plane.

The passenger door suddenly opens and crashes into the side of the airplane followed immediately by a loathsome hiss; a foul mist of ravaged political ambition careens down the stairs and wafts through the small crowd. One of the female staffers screams and crumbles to the ground in a dead faint. The gofers and interns bolt for the parking lots like frightened pheasants fleeing Satan's Springer Spaniel. Harry Reid noisily soils himself. Nancy Pelosi sprinkles herself liberally with a combination of Holy Water, Botox and Jean Nate', then pours the rest down Reid's pants.

Now the Unholy Specter (not that one) emerges from the plane, the President of Teh Undead, NostroBamus, has arrived in Nevada to campaign, to apply his dark arts – perhaps to feed - just as he has in Copenhagen, New Jersey, Virginia and lastly, Massachusetts.


There is no choice for moderate Democrats or Independents, they must flee to a safe haven.

Wonder where that is.

Kiss O'Death

Scott Brown has defeated Martha Coakley in the MA 2010 Senate race and already the liars in the Democratic party are spinning like madmen. This just isn't whistling past the graveyard. It's like walking into your doctor's office with a prostate the size of Rhode Island and asking for a vasectomy because you're afraid of knocking up your girlfriend.


And we can thank Obozo. Obozo is now officially The Destroyer of Democratic Dreams, A Weapon of Mass Incompetence, The Cancer From Kenya. First he blew the Olympic bid for ChiTown followed by repeat performances in Copenhagen, Virginia and New Jersey. Then like a plague of locusts he flew to Boston and devoured any chance Martha Coakley might have had of defeating Scott Brown.

Obozo, the gift that keeps on giving to the Republicans.
