Timing Is Everything

Hot Air has an excellent article and a video by FreedomWorks depicting current events and government policies against the backdrop of the just released movie, Atlas Shrugs Part 1.

At the moment, there are only three locations here in Maryland showing the movie. If you live in or near Annapolis, Gaithersburg or Bethesda, you have better luck than most of us to go see it.

There just might be more theaters showing this movie, if we are lucky.

UPDATE: WI Recall Material Stolen

Out and out thievery, breaking and entering, vandalism.

On Thursday Wisconsin conservatives announced that they had collected enough signatures 15,000 to recall fleebagger Senator Dave Hansen of Green Bay. Vandals broke into a Wisconsin political office late Thursday or Friday morning and ripped off the fleebagger recall petitions.

Think the Rule of Law will be upheld here if the perps are caught? Think the signature lists were destroyed?
Think this was organized?

UPDATE: Well, well, it looks like the crooks were caught. Thank God they weren’t too bright, huh? But what they did with the stolen data was absolutely disgusting .

Our Govt Cares Not About the Law

Gov’t asks high court to take GPS tracking case
Apr 15, 6:06 PM (ET)

By MARK SHERMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to take up an important privacy case for the digital age, whether the police need a warrant before using a global positioning system device to track a suspect’s movements.

Imagine if they do that to just anybody. Or everybody.

UPDATEx6: For Lawsuit Purposes

Anybody know who Righthaven is?

Well, study up. The secret is out. An excerpt:

“As many defendants in Righthaven actions have argued, Righthaven does not truly own the copyrights it sues over,” Marc John Randazza, one of the attorneys for the Media Bloggers Association, said Friday in a blog post titled in part “Does the House of Cards Collapse?”

He said Righthaven’s lawsuits seem to run afoul of case law.

Read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Righthaven disses the Court.

UPDATEx2: A federal judge ruled Monday that publishing an entire article is fair use. This is the latest blow against newspaper copyright troll Righthaven.

UPDATEx3: Righthaven is not giving up.

UPDATEx4: RH’s attorney gives a lame excuse.

UPDATE x5: Appareently, the judge fined Righthaven $5,000 for misleading the court about their lawsuits. And, wait for it, Righthaven is going to appeal the fine. HAR!

UPDATE x6: Judge scolds Righthaven lawyer, adds another $32,000 judgment
Money talks, BS walks. Add more zeros, Your Honor.

POTUS Wants Congress Out of His Business

Funny, that.
Imagine, the Constitution keeps getting in his way.

One rider – Section 2262 — de-funds certain White House adviser positions – or “czars.” The president in his signing statement declares that he will not abide by it.

Is this Constitutional, or not? Sounds to me that our POTUS loves (too much) to show his temper with the people and our allies, but not our enemies (his friends?). He throws us into deep, deep debt, does not end the wars he has been against and starts a third.

Don’t know about anyone else, but this elected individual should never have been put into this job as POTUS. He keeps contradicting himself.

Come on 2012.

An aside but perhaps very telling.

Our Debt Explained

Ignoring The Gorilla In the Room

At our peril.

Stalking our POTUS.

Warring Against the Classes

Or, just one class. Trouble is, the POTUS has just one class in mind. And he wants automatic tax hikes when they (he) overspends.

His solution? Check this out –

A “debt failsafe trigger,” Obama’s scheme would automatically raise taxes if politicians spend too much. According to the talking points distributed by the White House, the automatic tax increase would take effect “if, by 2014, the projected ratio of debt-to-GDP is not stabilized and declining toward the end of the decade.”
