From Instapundit:

AN IMPLAUSIBLE REPORT IN THE SEATTLE TIMES: “A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus’ Cincinnati office Sunday.”

Justin Binik-Thomas emails from Cincinnati that Rep. Driehaus’ office “is on the 30th floor of a skyscraper downtown.” He also says that he spoke to Driehaus’ office today and they said this never happened. Which is too bad, in a way, as the Reds could use a guy with an arm like that . . . .

The Seattle Times should run a correction.

Random falling bullet? Yeah that always happens.

14 It's the End of the World as We Know It, and I feel fine.

15 Obama's approval rating up to 49% in the Rasmussen survey.  It looks like he might be getting a bump that isn't going to fade anytime soon.

16 Here's the bounce:

In Hypothetical 2012 Matchup, Obama in Statistical Dead Heat Against 2 Republicans: Nobody and Anybody


I'd prefer something in the Pence/Ryan/Daniels range to Anybody, especially if Anybody's surname ends in -bee or -ney.

17 Morning m&ms.

It's another beautiful day here in the People's Democratic Republic of Taxachusett- wait what's that? Oh nevermind, its snowing. =/

18 Richmond police are reporting that Andy Rand was caught masturbating in a Burger King bathroom.

They're all alike--advocating big taxes for everyone else and refusing to pay themselves.

19 There's just something about the front page of  today's  Washington (com)Post that makes my skin crawl.  Below the headline "Reconciliation Bill Passes" there is a close-up photo of your typical "angry white male" addressing what appears to be a Tea Party rally through a bullhorn.  Never mind that he's probably reminding them to pick up their trash or be respectful towards the police- he's white, 50 something, got a stubbly beard, a weathered face, a baseball cap and he's addressing a crowd through a bullhorn so he's "obviously" angry about something, right?

I may be getting paranoid here, but I can't shake the feeling that the legacy media has concluded that the only way to salvage the November elections for the Democrats is to stage some kind of "Reichstag Fire" event, with people like this poor schlub as the fall guys, and they are starting to lay the foundations by planting the appropriate imagery in the public mind.  I must be getting old- I remember when newspapers reported news instead of engaging in cheap propaganda.

On a brighter note, if you thought that after ramming Soviet style health care down our throats the Precedent was going to rush straight into amnesty for illegal aliens you were wrong.  Looks like he's going to take a little side trip over to Unilateral Disarmament first.

Random falling bullet? Yeah that always happens.

Didn't they do that on Mythbusters? Given what I remember from high school physics and/or geometry, I find it hard to believe that a falling bullet with a somewhat vertical trajectory would penetrate a perfectly vertical window. Crack-and-bounce seems more likely. (But I am not a lawyer physicist.)

For reasons I have yet to figure out, I have Yahoo as my home page. Woke up to this as the headline:

Health Care Bill May Give Democrats Unexpected Bounce

Yea, a big bounce out the door on thier petards

Wait for the April 13 special election in FL-19, it may be a Litmus test. The R candidate Ed Lynch has a posting over at BigGovernment.

28 The Campaign is in full swing. Protect Barry at All Costs.

29 For anyone celebrating that Obama is in a dead-heat against a "generic Republican", back in 94-95 that same "generic Republican" was getting about 65% vs Bill Clinton.

Unfortunately, in reality, the GOP has Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

30 Just saw this on AOL: North Korea is threatening the South and the US with nuclear attack (Can't seem to add a link so copy and paste my friends). Anyone hear any reactions from El Precedenté???????

31 #4  The GOP is on the run?  As in "retreat."  They are true assclowns.  Keep deluding yourself, lefties...

32 FWIW, I did the VO for a political vid that just won the Government Communications award in two categories, I know its no CPAC ewok award, but I I'll take it.

33 In yet another report, Eric Massa admits to a shower tickle party with Rahm, Andy Randy to report

34 "Wait for the April 13 special election in FL-19, it may be a Litmus test."

Actually, that WILL be the litmus test to see how popular or unpopular Obama and Obamacare really are.

35 I went to a Teaparty meeting last night. Jim Holt spoke to us. He is going to run against Blank Stare Blanche for U.S. Senate if he wins the Republican primary. He is a constitutionalist, and has a good conservative record. He discussed the RINO problem. The GOP will only support you financially if they think you are going to win,  So, if they don't think you will win, you get nada. RINO's who are incumbents have the money of the party . Moral: Give your money to your candidate, give NOTHING to the GOP. He also explained that there is enormous pressure on these guys from the GOP leaders (many are RINO's). Vote their way (they make deals with the Democrats) or they fund your opponents in the primary. Give money to your candidate, nothing to the GOP. I have given thousands to the GOP in the past, but that is all over.

36 Should I get some type of metal umbrella? I'm afraid to go out if there are randomly falling bullets. I could use it for sprayers too.

43 "Bob's mission is to demoralize and confuse Republicans and Conservatives."

No, my mission is to bring some reality to the situatiion.  A "generic" Republican or Democrat ALWAYS polls strongest.  The "generic Republican" was going to destroy Bill Clinton.  That generic candidate turned out to be the awesome Bob Dole, who humiliated himself and the GOP and got destroyed himself.  The best a "generic" GOP'er can do vs Obama is a tie.  Put Romney or Huck in the spot in 2012 and it's another huge victory for the Dems.

57

And correct me if I'm wrong, but don't things tend to fall down instead of sideways? I'm assuming that it was a window on the side of the building, not on the roof.

Not when fired from a firearm at less than 90 degrees from the ground. Fire a rifle at about 45 degrees and the bullet will climb to a certain altitude and then arc back to earth, but will still retain some of it's horizontal momentum. I figure thats what happened. Also, don't fire firearms at upward angles when people might be downrange, unless you are trying to have an accident.

58 The side bar article on China's pending bubble burst fills me with sweet, sweet schadenfreude, and the satisfaction of having been precient.  Those currency manipulating, export subsidizing, slave-wage paying, technology stealing, prison-labor exploiting, mercantilist commie bastards will finally get their due.  Their disruption of the global economy contributed heavily to our current woes, and I would love to see those bastards battling mass starvation like the 1950's again.

Yahoo news is just to the left of the Daily Kos

61 71 They would starve to death if they tried feasting on obamatrons - they're already zombies themselves.

62 Isn't it interesting that the Concerned Christian Conservative posters who come here to give us some 'reality' wind up posting exactly what Democrats would?

This was a foregone conclusion with Dick Armey and Sarah Palin leading the charge. I wonder if Hannity, Newt, and O'factor will be advertising their latest tomes during the 'protest'?

64 If you live in Flint, get the hell out.

65 Mutt,

You really are dense.  Nobody is saying Lynch has to win.  The Dem is a heavy favorite due to the gerrymandered nature of that district.  If Lynch runs closer than expected, then that would be a good sign for the GOP.  But if Lynch gets destroyed and you then just give a partisan spin and say "it doesn't matter", you will be wrong  as usual.

Special elections are usually closer than normal anyhow due to lower turnout, so there's no reason to think that Lynch can't run a decent race, especially if there is so much anger out there due to Obamacare. 

66 Denver weather forecast is for clouds, temp near 50, only a 10% chance of randomly falling bullets.

67 News you can use.

Sending this to my mother the next time she bitches about me not moving back to Iowa.

@ 68

Maddogg, I hadn't envisoned that scenario. In that case, it sounds like someone may have taken a shot at the building. But still, if they had been within visual range, wouldn't the bullet have had enough energy to break the window? The report created the mental image of someone discharging a firearm more or less up in the air (like we used to do back home in Alabama for things like, say, a football victory, or bedding that "certain" cousin).

Not that I'm arguing with you, it's just the overwhelming bovine aroma coming from the official explanation.

 

69

Nobody is saying Lynch has to win. 

Special elections are usually closer than normal anyhow

So if Lynch loses by any amount it's because it's a typical special election.

73 Bob,
Shut up and go away.

74 Mutt,

Keep explaining away a blowout loss before it happens.  Now it's the "tough primary" that's going to cause Lynch to get clobbered, lol.

It's funny.  When Obama got elected, it looked like the GOP was dead.  Then when Brown won, it looked like the GOP was on the rise, and health care was going down in flames.  Now you can sense the momentum shift again and Obama is on the rise, while the GOP has lost direction (typical crappy mixed messaging from the Republicans).

The bottom line is that the public likes winners.  And Pelosi and the Dems are winners.  And, just like I told the Mutt over the weekend, health care was a done deal with votes to spare.   The GOP were losers once again.

Would that be the agreement where the Soviets Russians get to eliminate warheads they can't afford to maintain in exchange for well maintained US warheads?

99

Maddogg, I hadn't envisoned that scenario. In that case, it sounds like someone may have taken a shot at the building. But still, if they had been within visual range, wouldn't the bullet have had enough energy to break the window?

From what I heard, the bullet had enough energy to get through the glass, but did not have enough energy to penetrate the blinds. That indicates a spent bullet fried from beyond visual range. Very possible. It has happened many times in the past. A 30-06 bullet fired at a high angle,(slightly less than 45 degrees) may fly 4-5 miles before coming back to ground, and still retain enough kinetic energy to get through a pane of glass.

100 "So what was your evaluation of the GOPs win in MA, NJ and VA."

Those were all tremendous victories.  But sometime after the MA win, the GOP lost momentum.  IMO, it was when they agreed to the health care summit.  That softened opposition to Obamacare enough that Dems in swing districts could vote for it. 

And, again, the people like a winner.  Obama won.  The Dems won.  The Republican's lost. 

Nobody in the GOP knows what to do now.  And when you are being led by the Mitch McConnell's of the world, you know you will get your ass kicked at the end of the day.

No you don't. At least not the Washington Post. When I was a wee tot, I remember my father saying that the Post was just a translation of Pravda. And Dad was not a republican then.

The Post has been giving me free M-F copies for 4-5 months now. I can't figure out whether they are trying to hook me back in or whether they have a higher propaganda mission.

Go look at your paper again, behind the bearded man is a woman caught in the act of blinking or something. She looks a little nuts, so they picked that photo. You will also notice that the bearded guy has on an olive drab coat and has "scrambled eggs" on his hat brim---that's to indict veterens. Read the article: It's another horror story of bitter clinger.

Above this photo "Obama's signature is next after democrats overccome GOP moves", "Obama capitalizes (shouldn't that be communizes) on legislative win", "Ratcheting down the rage on health reform" "Aggressive steps readied to fight foreclosures, Unemployed would benefit, lenders may have to be more forgiving" (Now we legislate mercy--ain't that great?)

113 Unwavering commitment to our allies.HAH

114 The Russians gave up NOTHING in this deal.

115 Wow, CBO director Doug Elmendorf concedes that the recent CBO report on the stimulus that said 1.5 million jobs were created was based on their prediction that it would create 1.5 million jobs.  The analysis didn't take into account the rising unemployment rate, economic figures or how effectively the stimulus money was being spent.  They ASSUMED that the stimulus money would create 1.5 million jobs.  So now we know that the CBO uses the same math as the Global Warming folks.  We predict it to be therefore it is.

116 Hillary takes the mic!

117 "That is a load of shit Bob.  Opposition never waned.  Your points sound just like Axelrod."

Nope, it's a fact.

Go look at Rasmussen's numbers before and after the health care summit. 

118 Remember the people over there genuinely liked him so they aren't going to kill him like say.. ace or me for that matter.

Right. Just like they wouldn't say anything bad about Foer and TNR during the Beauchamp thing—or about anyone else they "know," ever, no matter what happens.

So you can't trust them (except Steyn and Derb) about anything, because you don't know when they're covering (for) someone they know. When you do know, like in Frum's case, or Foer's, you know they'll piss right in your face.

Then Lopez will run a thousand "From a $x Contributor" praise-mails in a row, to remind you that National Review isn't for you. And it isn't.

119 85 So if several bullets fall in my neighborhood, would that be a hail of bullets?

Could just be scattered showers of bullets.

120

@ 120

Maddogg, this sounds like a random event, although the outcome makes it appear to be intentional. If the bullet was fired from beyond visual range, there's no way that I can think of that it could have been done on purpose. I mean, what are the odds of firing a round and hitting that particular office window?

Back home, we called it, when explaining these types of things to the nice police officers, "a accident".

121 No you don't. At least not the Washington Post. When I was a wee tot, I remember my father saying that the Post was just a translation of Pravda

My dad used to call it the downtown Daily Worker.

122

136 The Russians gave up NOTHING in this deal.

This just makes me miss Reagan more.

123 This treaty sounds bogus.

124 You mean I could use that as a defense?  No your honor, that bullet was not intentionally fired by my client at the victim.  It was just a random bullet that can suffer from falling randomly and hit things that it didn't intend too.  If the bullet is randomly falling you must acquit.  In fact, all cases of ammo should have warnings on them that in some random instances, a random bullet can randomly fall and not hit its intended target.

125 BTW, someone has claimed Brietbart's $10,000 for audio of the Black Congressional Caucus being called the "N-word", transcript below

140 Heh:

A South Carolina movie director who also is a former state lawmaker is suing cable TV channels, contending they mixed up one of his films with what he says is a pornographic movie with the same title.

James "Bubba" Cromer said in the suit filed on Monday in Los Angeles that he noticed earlier this month his comedy "The Hills Have Thighs" was going to be on The Movie Channel and Cinemax.

The lawsuit says a television listing had the description of Cromer's movie and its actors.  But the Columbia lawyer says what came on instead was a 2010 film with the same name which included nudity and sex acts.

Cromer is asking for an unspecified amount of damages.

The cable channels didn't immediately comment on the lawsuit.

147 Pelosi is a winnah! So is Obamah! They kicked our asses, deal with it. Landslide for the Dems this November!!!! Oh noes!

148 Yeah? What do you want?

149 This is my new theory: I think the democratic party decided that the US needs to supply free or subsidized viagra to convicted sex offenders so they could be among the few who f**k the American public more than the democrats themselves.

150 It seems that a South Korean ship is sinking off North Korea, and firing off shots as it goes down...........what's up with that?  Link soon.........

151 I don't understand, they give Viagra to pedophiles and money to kill children?

Seems like conflicting goals.

Obama Asks for 'Strong Bipartisan' Senate Support to Ratify U.S.-Russia Arms Treaty

 

Why am I not assured that this “treaty” is good for the country?  I smell another political POS designed to embarrass the Republicans at the cost of national security.

Like you guys, I love the double-dipping.

R's should give Obama and the dems the big middle finger. Period.

Awww, c'mon Vic. No problem. We now have a laser that can shoot down enemy missiles.

Wait, what?

Should we be concerned about what is happening with North & South Korea or is the assumption still that North Korea couldn't actually successfully launch nukes?

If lil Kim only has a few years left of life, would he want to go out with a bang?

You're just concerned because you're on the left coast.

At one club, private dances are still $20, but the dancer has to kick back $5 as an administrative fee. Liss-Riordan admitted this was legal. The less adept dancers benefit from the new system. The popular dancers suffer. The tip out at this particular strip bar used to be $35. Plus dancers now get $2.63 per hour, which comes to a total of $18.41 per shift. ThatÂ’s a swing of $53.41 in favor of the dancer per shift. Previously, it was possible, though unlikely, for a stripper to go home down $35. Now sheÂ’s guaranteed $18.41.

 

Why do democrats punish success and reward mediocrity?  Remember people, elections have consequences.  A vote for a Democrat is a vote for redistribution.

No.

The problem starts with what the military calls a "meeting engagement". Both sides sort of stumble onto each other, fighting ensues, and then more and more forces from both sides join the fight. Gettysburg is a good example.

So evacuating Seoul isn't a good example. Things would have to get way out of hand before that would happen. And then it would probably be too late.

165 Oh Brother. Lib Media  Claims Rock Was Thrown  Through Reps Office Window..... On the 30th Floor.   SOMEBODY SIGN THAT BOY UP FOR THE METS!!!!!!!

On the Cantor/bullet thing, it sounds like we're starting to get the story straight here, but let's be aware that agents of the left are trying to claim the episode was basically a hoax.

Put in context, when you're a high-profile (and Jewish) public official who has recieved death threats and you hear that somebody took a shot at a window in your office building, it isn't completely unreasonable to assume the worst.  I mean, what are the odds of a congressman's office building (or any other office building, for that matter) being hit by a stray bullet - AND having it break a window?  And at a particularly tense time?  You could even say that if you had originally assumed that it was just a stray bullet, you'd have sounded pretty silly.

OTOH, apparently the bullet did very little damage, other than just breaking the window.  So it would pretty much have to be a stray - assuming the reports on this are accurate, of course.

One could legitimately say that the congressman "jumped the gun" in reporting this before it was investigated, but it probably seemed to be pretty obvious what the deal was at the time.  It certainly doesn't rank as a "hoax".  No "biggie", one way or the other.

It's still ridiculous how the left is now playing the victim with all this death threat business, after years of ignoring far more significant threats against the other side.  Just look at the recent Ann Coulter incident!

167 President Obama's recently passed health-care reform legislation includes a surprise for many Americans – a beefing up of a U.S. Public Health Service reserve force and expectations that it respond on short notice to "routine public health and emergency response missions," even involuntarily.

March 26 (Bloomberg) -- Unemployment increased in 27 U.S. states in February and dropped in seven, a sign the labor market needs to pick up across more regions to spur consumer spending and sustain the economic recovery.

TodayÂ’s report indicates broad-based hiring is yet to develop following the loss of 8.4 million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. Florida, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina set record levels of joblessness last month.

Lovely spin. Come on now labor market get your act together you're making Barry's economic recovery look bad.

169 "I may be getting paranoid here, but I can't shake the feeling that the legacy media has concluded that the only way to salvage the November elections for the Democrats is to stage some kind of "Reichstag Fire" event, with people like this poor schlub as the fall guys, and they are starting to lay the foundations by planting the appropriate imagery in the public mind. "
___________________________________________________

No, you aren't paranoid.  I agree.  Although the young and the stupid in the media will probably have no idea what you're talking about.

The media has blacked out the bullets being fired at a GOP office, but have blown out of proportion a 'spitting' incident.

If people really start getting bullshit in this country, the MSM should fear for their lives.

Following up on the reloadable military brass thing. ATK (the company involved in the mess) has backed down.

From their contact us page:

ATK Statement Regarding Once-Fired Brass Cases

ATK is a strong supporter of our armed forces, the shooting sports industry, second amendment rights and all of our customers who choose to reload ammunition. In fact, ATK is a leader in the reloading market. A dated brochure and presentation have caused confusion in the marketplace and do not reflect the views of our company and will be immediately withdrawn. As a service to our military customers, we routinely handle demil operations for various munitions and respond to requests from military installations for reclamation and recycling of military items. Each contract is awarded through the military installationÂ’s procurement process. The installations received fair value for the brass.

ATK fully supports the provision passed by Congress last year to ensure that demilitarized spent brass casings remain available for civilian use.
