The 3 AM Question

h/t Don Surber

Who’s at the podium? No one. (yet)

It’s 3am, do you know where your President is?

An excellent advertisement video at the link above.

Some tidbits:
Creation of a new U.N. agency to regulate international weapon sales.
Compensation fund for victims of gun violence worldwide.
The biggest threat, the body that would administer the treaty,the “Implementation Support Unit.”
Track any guns that could be exported.
Require gun makers to engrave sequential tracings on every one of some 3 billion bullets produced in the U.S.

Requesting Censorship

From a U.S. Senator who should know better, but doesn’t.
Clearly, he doesn’t know the U.S. Constitution either. You know, the one he swore to uphold when he took his oath of office? Also clearly, he doesn’t even care to understand the fullness and richness of the First Amendment.

So, with all that money behind him (where’s his wife) it appears he is stuck in D.C.

No class. No knowledge. Just John “I apologize to no one” Kerry.

An Uncivil Example of Civility

From this person, Froma Harrop.

What a shame, a simple distraction saves the evidence – instead of the disappearing comments from her site.

Oh well, whatever. This is what is referred to as True Colors, displayed perfectly at Hot Air.

How about this news item (with video), Froma? Is this uncivil or civil????

Tells It Like It Is

Can’t say that I disagree with Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online. Not at all.
I notice what the media does not, also. That they are terribly one-sided.
Hardly what I would call profesionally objective journalists interested in truth and disseminating it for us all to acknowledge it, learn and make things better.
Also, they are not, dare I say – “fair and balanced.”

I have to admit, I think Jonah’s response is the same as mine.
Too bad. But it is the price paid for expanding one’s vision beyond what it used to be.

My favorite website, Don Surber, has more on this. Involves Time Magazine, too.

VP Calls Us Terrorists

And later, denies he said that word.

What do you say now, Joe? That this debt deal isn’t a deal? Or, is it? Does it depend on the definition of is? Or was?

Make up your mind, Joe. We are watching. And remembering. Certainly until November 2012.

FDA Bans Asthma Medication

Why?

The only over-the-counter asthma inhaler sold in the United States will no longer be available next year as part of an international agreement to stop the use of substances that damage the environment.

Primatene Mist (epinephrine) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary relief of occasional symptoms of mild asthma. FDA urges those who use Primatene Mist to see a health care professional soon to switch to another asthma medicine.

Primatene Mist inhalers are being discontinued because they use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant (spray) to move the medicine out of the inhaler so patients can breathe the medicine into their lungs.

From the Big Government article:
CFCs from inhalers were a trivial contributor and should have been permanently exempted from these regimes until something just as good and just as affordable came along. They weren’t, and it hasn’t.

UPDATE: Cut the Crap and Balance

That’s it. Just do it.

UPDATE: Looks like I’m one in the 66%.
