Political Bite Is Worse Than Political Bark
by Pat_S on January 16, 2011A post by Pat Oh dear, is that the growl of political incivility we hear again? It’s happening between Venezuela and Colombia so Sarah Palin is in the clear. Her critics can’t blame her without admitting she knows where these places are. We are all to feel chastised about volatile rhetoric because a terrible tragedy which had nothing to do with volatile rhetoric made the media hysterical about volatile rhetoric. It may be instructive to see how the problem is handled elsewhere. A Colombian T.V. soap opera depicts the relationship between two sisters, one named Colombia, the other named Venezuela. Venezuela is rather badly behaved. She has a dog named Little Hugo which also behaves badly. Some people allege the...

FDA Plan To Test Safety of Gulf Seafood? The Smell Test
by Tammy on August 3, 2010Yes, that’s right. Seafood from the gulf will be deemed safe if some guy comes by, smells it, and says it smells okay. Gulf seafood must pass the smell test That’s right. I can see this implemented in so many other ways. You go into an Emergency Room because you have chest pain. They’re jammed (it’s so tough to fit all those Spanish language interpreters in there!) and you walk up to the Obama DeathCare Assessment Desk. If you’re under 50 and look like there’s still some tax generating left in you, you get directed to take a number to see a doctor. In probably 6-8 hours (Hey! don’t complain, at least it’s the same day! Ungrateful peasant!). If you’re...

L.A. Students to Be Taught AZ Immigration Law Un-American
by Tammy on June 2, 2010Now that Los Angeles is officially a failed “Sanctuary City,” having to close at least twice a week because there’s no money, the school district has turned to more important matters. Like politically indoctrinating their students. 73% of whom, as revealed in this story, are “Latino.” Now last time I checked, Los Angeles was not a 73% “Latino” city. Which means three out of every four students are likely illegal aliens. So now property taxes, paid by citizens, are officially going to educate primarily illegal aliens from Mexico, and with a school program which would openly implement political indoctrination. Atlas is in the process of shrugging and Los Angeles has better think real quick what they’re gonna so with all...

The King is Not Pleased – Corporate Critics Summoned to Explain Themselves
by Pat_S on March 29, 2010A post by Pat No sky falling after the health care bill was passed said Obama. Many executives of major corporations disagree. They are warning the health care law is going to cost businesses millions. That is not the kind of talk the Democrats want to hear so the executives have been summoned before Congress by Henry Waxman to explain. And bring lots of documents with you too. It is pure bullying and intimidation. As awful as this is, it’s no surprise. It could be a gift, an eye-opener to those who still have not seen what’s happening to us. The Democrats are totally addicted to the narcotic levels of power they’ve indulged in. They’re not even bothering to disguise...

“Jihad Jane’s” Influence? The Internet, Of Course
by Tammy on March 10, 2010This would be amusing if not so pathetic. What we have here is pretty obvious: an American woman Islamist waging Jihad along with her other depraved brethren, but you’d never know it from the L.A. Times coverage. No where is it noted the freak is an Islamist, but they do try to guess at what has influenced her. She’s even pictured in a burqa, but all of that is secondary to the real issues, you see, that she’s an American and uses the internet! ‘JihadJane’ indictment alleges threat from within U.S. Colleen R. LaRose, who dubbed herself “JihadJane,” was so intent on waging jihad, authorities said, that she traveled to Sweden to kill an artist in a way that would...

Fish and Spychips –U.K. Plans to Monitor Trash
by Pat_S on March 6, 2010A post by Pat If you throw out your leftover fish in the U.K., the chips will know it. The latest from the land of CCT, surveillance drones, ID cards and the world’s largest DNA database — microchips in your trash can to keep track of how much you throw away. Waste watchers? U.K. group deploys trash bin ‘spies’ It’s the new front in the nanny state: Microchips placed in garbage bins to monitor how much people throw away. A pro-privacy group [Big Brother Watch] warns in a new report that more than 2.6 million of the chips have been surreptitiously installed in what is seen as a first step toward charging those who toss too much. Proponents say it’s...

As Detroit Goes Wild, Obama Obsesses About Talk Radio
by Tammy on February 25, 2010What Not-Knowing-How-To-Govern looks like. Today the Mayor of Detroit announced a “shrinkage” plan which will encourage citizens to leave the city, “If they stay where they are I absolutely cannot give them all the services they require.” One indication of how desperate things have become in that once great American city, here’s an article from last year (and it’s only gotten worse) describing how, among other things, wild animals are taking over the city. Nature begins to eerily reclaim the abandoned neighborhoods of Detroit

The Budget From Skull Cave
by Pat_S on January 30, 2010A post by Pat Skull Cave was The Phantom’s base Unlike many fictional costumed heroes, the Phantom does not have supernatural powers of any kind, but relies on his strength, intellect and reputation of being an immortal ghost to defeat his opponents. He is protected at home in large part by the Bandar pygmies, or “Poison-People”, whose fearsome reputation is enough to keep the uninvited out of his jungle. PC disclaimer: The cartoon character The Phantom just popped into my head when I read the following article. PC conditioning immediately kicked in cautioning me not to connect Obama to The Phantom. Even though The Phantom is an heroic figure, he lived in a jungle. In Africa. That’s problematic nowadays. The...

SEIU’s Turf War with an Eagle Scout
by Pat_S on November 19, 2009A post by Pat A warning to anyone who plans to answer Obama’s call for volunteerism, check with the SEIU first. Kevin Anderson, a 15-yr old Eagle Scout, voluntarily worked 250 hours to clear a walking path in a local park. The president of the local SEIU chapter considers the park his turf and went looking for Kevin. Union troubled by Eagle Scout project in Allentown Anderson, a junior and varsity soccer player at Southern Lehigh High School, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 301 of Center Valley. He got the idea for the trail while taking hikes along the partially complete, 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. He noticed there were a few missing connections to the...

Hate Studies — Orwellian New Academic Field
by Pat_S on November 18, 2009A post by Pat The smart people are going to study and define hate then teach the kids how to be agents for social change. What could go wrong? Political Correctness was an amusing loony left notion in the beginning, giving male names to hurricanes, spelling “woman” “womin”, quirky things like that. It got seriously irritating when we had to drop Christmas for The Winter Festival, but PC kept rolling along. It continued getting worse over the years while we all learned to self-censor our thoughts and actions to the point of getting 13 people killed at Fort Hood. Sane people think it’s finally time to pull back from PC. The radicals think it’s time to kick it up a...

When a Raccoon Is Just a Raccoon
by Tammy on October 13, 2009When wild, paranoid leftists attack (and get delusional) they see not dead people, but racists. Everywhere. In everything. Always. The instance at hand, Patterico filets a rather amusing paranoid rant from the Left complaining about the Raaaaaacism! in my Cracker Jack/Raccoon post just after the Urkel Nobel Trinket announcement. That post, of course, followed my main commentary on the Nobel Joke Prize noting that I, too, had just won, finding my trinket in a Cracker Jack box. Sadly, No! Sees the RACISMS!! in Tammy Bruce’s Photo of Her Pet Some fringe leftists enjoy nothing better than to accuse conservatives of racism. It makes them feel very tingly with self-righteousness, and that is a great feeling to many a fringe leftist....

Fox Responds to White House Attack
by Pat_S on October 13, 2009A post by Pat The White House declared war on Fox News. Last night Fox responded. Journalists who were attack dogs against the Bush administration are at least raising an eyebrow over the White House statements. I think the concern is off the mark to criticize the administration for poor political strategy. The demographics of the Fox News audience are irrelevant. It isn’t an issue of differentiating news programming from opinion programming. This is a heavy-handed attempt by the government to suppress free speech. It is not a matter to be taken lightly when government attempts to intimidate news or opinion. Of all people, it is a T.V. critic who sees this for what it is. Of course a comparison...

Crossing the (clothes)line
by Pat_S on October 10, 2009A post by Pat For those who have hang ups about looking at other people’s laundry, be prepared for a flap. There’s a trend in the wind to override homeowners association rules in favor of making your whites greener. Debate Follows Bills to Remove Clotheslines Bans (links to NYT article) In the last year, however, state lawmakers in Colorado, Hawaii, Maine and Vermont have overridden these local rules with legislation protecting the right to hang laundry outdoors, citing environmental concerns since clothes dryers use at least 6 percent of all household electricity consumption. Florida and Utah already had such laws, and similar bills are being considered in Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia, clothesline advocates say. There’s a lot of...

Shocked In Shockoe Bottom
by Pat_S on September 30, 2009A post by Pat Angry activists gathered outside a Richmond, Virginia strip club decrying abomination! and sounding alarm over the deteriorating standards in America. Prudish church ladies? No. It was the NAACP. The self-described libertarian owner of Club Velvet, Mr. Samuel J.T. Moore III, had unfurled an Obama as The Joker banner outside his building. “This country is going to hell in a handbag,“ Moore said, “and the current administration is making things irreversibly worse.“ Mr. Moore is not the ideal champion of liberty. Moore’s club is awaiting a state Alcoholic Beverage Control hearing on alleged violations. Earlier this year Moore was convicted of three misdemeanor charges related to having sex with a minor and another woman at his apartment...

Mr. Wilson and The Menace
by Pat_S on September 13, 2009A post by Pat In this version Mr. Wilson isn’t the irascible man next door and The Menace isn’t a five-year old boy. The media’s version of Mr. Wilson and The Menace is an exuberant member of Congress named Wilson, the Menace is right-wing extremism. The two are not antagonists, they are villains coiled together in a swamp of hatred. The rancorous townhalls, talk radio and tea parties are part of this multi-headed monster. As Juan Williams puts it: It strikes me as something threatening..something angry is in the water here and it could go beyond the moment to, you know, people taking up arms, or attack. It’s extremism at work.” Mitch Albom, Detroit News Something bigger was at work....
