UPDATEx2: What The Dickens Is Wrong With This Guy?

Posted on December 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

I refer to Al Not-so-Sharpton. A supposed preacher from what I have heard.

Apparently he has a major beef about Rush Limbaugh and wants him off the air so bad that he, and whoever follows him, wants to harangue the FCC until he gets his way.

Well. So much for turning the other cheek or forgiving someone for they know not what they do. (Psst, Al, are you Christian? At all?)

If thine ear offend thee, Al, turn off the radio. Over the top? It’s radio. Not a crowded movie theater and Mr. Limbaugh isn’t shouting FIRE.

UPDATE: HOTAIRPUNDIT has a video (somewhat old) but it underscores the hypocrisy of the reverend. Pity. He can’t escape this one. Nope.

UPDATEx2: Again? Or, still? Sheesh, Al. Learn something already.

Another Stimulus

Posted on December 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

Just wait now. This is a result of the ‘compromise’ on the tax cut issue and the 99ers (soon to be renamed).

From the article:

The amount of money pumped into the ailing economy: about $900 billion over years.

Subtract the $400 billion cost of the Bush tax cuts. Subtract another $140 billion or so, which is the cost of extending the Alternative Minimum Tax patch (and almost certainly would have happened regardless). You’re then left with more than $300 billion in net stimulus over two years.

Belt Tightening

Posted on December 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

Not at all, apparently. Nope, no “freeze” of pay if they get raises or ‘step increases’, right?

That belt the POTUS got that was fixed with 12 stitches must have loosened his logic, what say?

Wait, he still needs their votes come two years from now, right?

Truly an AHA moment. Not a funny AHA, but a Eureka moment.

Al Qaeda Hopes To Surgically Implant Explosives into the Body

Posted on December 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

New Kind of Terrorism?
Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives – such as semtex or PETN was judged the best method.

More of that article …

Personally, I’d just as soon send them a pallet of Beans. They’d suffer first before exploding from passing natural gas.

On a related note, I received notice via a friend’s email of a possible new product in the offing:

Develop a booth that you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.

This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this nonsense about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

This is so simple that it’s brilliant. I can see it now: you’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, “Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number…”

I’ll contact engineering tomorrow morning and get right on it.

New Ethics Charge Against Rangel?

Posted on December 5, 2010 | Leave a comment

The Federal Election Commission is investigating a complaint that Rep. Charles Rangel improperly used his National Leadership PAC to fund his legal defense on ethics charges for which he was censured Thursday, The Post has learned.

The FEC is acting on a complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center filed after The Post reported last month that Rangel paid nearly $400,000 from his PAC.

Lawmakers are only allowed to use money in their individual campaign funds for legal fees, or they can set up legal defense funds for such costs.

And what’s more, Rangel knew he was doing wrong. Pay close attention how he responds to questions from Mr. Jason Mattera.

Report: Obama Threatens To Veto Compromise Deal on Bush Tax Cuts If Extension of Unemployment Benefits is Not Included

So much for being “open to compromise”, eh, POTUS?

Well Then Why Didn’t You?

Posted on December 5, 2010 | Leave a comment

We could have let economy fall and been in majority for 40 years

Sure, hindsight being 20/20 and all. Riiiight.

Twits. You knew nothing of the consequences then, you still know nothing of the consequences now.

UPDATE: DANGER MORE JOBS TO BE LOST

Posted on December 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

Drilling moratorium may prove to be an industry killer.

And that’s not all. How about the rest of us, being held hostage by other countries – drilling off our own shores?

UPDATE: As I suspected.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS BLOCKED DEMOCRAT’S TAX HIKES

Posted on December 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senate Republicans blocked legislation Saturday to let upper-income tax cuts expire on Jan. 1, a showdown scripted by Democrats eager to showcase GOP lawmakers as defenders of millionaires.

“Do we want to extend those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires at a time of huge deficits. I would argue vociferously we shouldn’t,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., shortly before the votes.

Republicans countered that no taxes should be raised at a time the economy is recovering from a recession. “It is the most astounding theory I have ever seen, raise taxes to create jobs,” said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota.

Both measures would have extended expiring cuts for the middle class.

Ironically, the votes were widely seen as a prelude to a possible agreement next week between the White House and congressional leaders on legislation that would avert tax increases at all income levels, as Republicans want.

UPDATEx2: Dream Act Will Not Die

Posted on November 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

UPDATEx2: Again, Michelle Malkin brings to our attention tomorrow’s likely nightmare vote (aka, DREAM Act).
I URGE YOU TO READ THROUGH IT. Especially interesting is the ist of ‘misdemeanors’ this DREAM Act will erase.
A few:
Examples of misdemeanors in California:
(1) Assault, CPC § 240
(2) Battery, CPC § 242
(3) Domestic Violence, CPC § 273.5
(4) Criminal Threats/Harassment, CPC § 244
(5) Reckless driving, CVC § 23103
(6) Possession of Firearms, CPC § 12020

An excellent status update by Michelle Malkin.

Be sure to remember those that vote for this – and vote them out come 2011 or 2013.

UPDATE: The cost of this DREAM Act is estimated to be near $6.2B.
