1 What a fascinating day, Ogabe is surging in popularity since most Americans think *icorrectly by the way* that the mere flipping of the House will stop him from giving in to his redder desires add in his superficial sacrificing of his Goreon Queen when he has vowed to use EPA to do the same thing and you have all the makings for a shit sandwich for at least another 2-3 months.

We need to be allowed to exploit our natural resources to fire us into genuine growth and leave the barackcession behind us....

not gonna happen so long as the Enviro-Lunatics run the asylum.

2 I just saw on Fox that for the SOTU Obama will use the example of "Five Pillars" for economic recovery. Really? Five pillars.  I guess I'm just a fringe kook, must not insite....

3 Posted by: sven10077 at January 25, 2011 07:04 AM (kq1lG)

Those are not "our" resources. They are owned by the world, and it is time that we as Americans understand that we can't have everything. There are developing countries that need our resources; who are we to deny them? So you won't get a new TV next year, and you'll have to buy a smaller car (no more monster trucks!). That's a small price to pay for the health of Gaia.

4 Harp,  would those be STYROFOAM PILLARS?

5

 Five pillars.  I guess I'm just a fringe kook, must not insite....

Heh! ...nice catch

6 SOTU drinking game: take a sip every time he says "civility." Drain your glass if he finds a way to insult a different branch of government.

7 I put this on the Browner thread,  but since it goes along with what Harp heard,  I am going to post it here as well.
I think you all should be prepared for a complete makeover tonight.

I noticed in the Arizona speech that he seems to have hired a new speechwriter (and probably a new speech coach as well).   That speech was much more poetic and lyrical (looked at purely on style points) than anything he has given,  including the Inaugural.

This morning ABC radio was saying that this speech will not be a laundry list,  but rather a positive affirmation of America.

I expect his points will go up.  I also think that the Daley brothers are now in charge, and they do not want to see the democrat brand destroyed.  Browner being canned is one of those decisions that is going to move Obama back to the center for public consumption.

No,  I don't think this is a permanent decision,   nor do I think it is one that Obama is comfortable with;  he is a child of the far left.

But I think he wants to keep his job,  and I think the Daleys want him to keep it so that democrats in the lower tiers keep THEIR jobs.   The danger,  of course, is that once he gainid a second term he would do more country-destroying stuff and we would be screwed. 

The correct response to this speech is "Is this the REAL Obama?"   Or is the angry and arrogant person we have seen for 2 years the real Barry?

You're shittin' me! Do you have a link?

If so, what a cocksucker. I used to be able to see the WTC from my little town. Those are the only pillars I am interested in.

9 Any word yet if the conservo SCOTUS justices will subject themselves to harassment and veiled threats tonight?

10 Also, when the Supremes take their seats, take one drink for every justice NOT in attendance.

11 I want to know which one of you is responsible for the piano in Biscayne Bay.  Fess up.

12 The correct response to this speech is "Is this the REAL Obama?"   Or is the angry and arrogant person we have seen for 2 years the real Barry?

The best response should be "He's gone back to pretending to be a moderate to get (re)elected."

Yes, Clinton did it, but he's not Clinton and we know what's going on.  We don't have to let it happen again.

13 Not much real news out there. The MFM is sucking all the O2 out of the air blowing Obama with the SOTU address and worshipping over his phony move to the center.

You know they have gone hog wild when a political speech overshadows a terrorist act that kills 35 people and wounds scores more.

I refused to even turn on F&F this morning, I can imagine the chapped lips Gretchen and company have by now.

14 Just think what a relief it will be to see Boehner, instead of Pelosi sitting behind the Bamster. Perhaps in the spirit of comity, Joe Biden could get Kristi Noem to come and sit on his lap for eye candy.

15 Yes, Clinton did it, but he's not Clinton and we know what's going on.  We don't have to let it happen again.

No, Clinton did the same thing. He mouthed actions and took credit for the Republican congress. He remained just as much a leftist commie as always.

16

Did anyone catch the bumper music F&F played when they went to commercial after announcing Elaina Kagan was called for jury duty? 

Big Girls Don't Cry.  Heh.

17 Nickless,  isn't it amazing that they come right out and say this?  "He's going to have to move to the center."  "He's going to have to say some stuff more palatable to the independents."

In other words,  he is going to have to FAKE  moderation in order to get re-elected.  It's as phony as a 2-dollar bill,  and they report it like it's no big deal.

If someone is a fake,  how can you predict anything he is going to do policy wise?  The press acts like this is just a semantics thing,  but it goes to the heart of what is wrong.  None of us really can predicts what this guy will do with any degree of accuracy. Will he suddenly bow to his cronies and go hard left?  Succumb to the blandishments of Immelt and make GE in charge of all business?  Outlaw gasoline? Invite terrorists to a summit? I mean,  you cannot predict anything,  and it is why business is hunkering down (as well as me).

How is it that one's skill at fakery has become a standard for success?

18 There are developing countries that need our resources; who are we to deny them?

That's a terrible sock puppet. Real eco-fascists insist those resources must remain in the Earth untouched. Developing countries? They need to keep cooking over dung fires (and dying of malaria) so the Earth can remain pure.

25 No, Clinton did the same thing. He mouthed actions and took credit for the Republican congress. He remained just as much a leftist commie as always.

I, and we, and everybody else, know Clinton did the same thing.  That's why knowing it, expecting it, and planning to overcome it mean it will be less effective for a true believer like Obama than a political chameleon like Clinton.

Just keep reminding that Obama ran as a moderate, governed as a communist, and now is pretending to be a moderate again when he needs to fool voters.  And when the Republicans in Congress produce a positive change, freakin' claim credit and don't let Mr. I-won take it.

26 Thank God they are the smallest fraction of the greens.

The second link is the most interesting to me. Hawaiian law allows for a child born outside the country to obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate. What is generated by the state is a Certification of Live Birth...like what Ogabe's people put out as proof he was born in Hawaii.

Could it be that that is all that is on file??

Here is the text of that law:

[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State. (a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.

Fukino's second statement on the issue, which those trying to shut the issue down hang their hats on is this:

I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago.

Now, he does not say there is a document different from the COLB that Ebola's people put out . The purpose of a BC is to "verify" when and where a person is born. Hawaiian law allows for this "verification"... even though it is not necessarily true.

Fulino "verification" that Jug Ears was born there is per Hawaiian law...but DOES NOT mean he was in reality born there.

If, Ogabe were born outside the US...HE IS NOT A CITIZEN!!

Actually, borrowing in Islam is haram, as it involves the charging of interest.  Of course, Obama wouldn't adhere to any earthly law aside from his own moral imaginations. 

And I caught a story on the Hill that Patty Murray is running the 2012 Dem Senatorial Campaign Bakesale.  Are we lucky, or are we good? 

45 If Obama uses this 'Five Pillars' nonsense, I wish some purportedly conservative pundit would spin it thus:

"It's obviously a Muslim allusion, and the White House knows this, how could they not?  So why choose it?  The only answer can be to try to whip up some conspiracy theorizing in their conservative opposition that they think they can run against.  Frankly, it's a cynical ploy and the White House should actually try to act more conciliatory as the President told us he would in Tuscon."

46 sven10077   Of course he is.  He is the master of the "in your face" gesture.

Ask yourself why,  of all the people that could have participated,  Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder,  the two cabinet members who have directly attacked Arizona,  were given scripture readings at the memorial/rally?

Or the "lipstick" on the pig comment?  Or the middle finger scratching (done only when he is talking about a person or group he doesn't like)?  Or the crappy gifts to the british? 

This is stuff he does because he has done this crap all of his life.  If he is called on it,  he looks up with his "innocent Barry" look and says "oh,  you must be reading things into that that simply weren't there.  Maybe you have a little bit of racism in your character."

He knows the press won't call him on this, so he does it constantly,  particularly to get his jollies.

And I will betcash money HE suggested the anti-American song that the Chinese pianist played at the state dinner.  "All a misunderstanding.."

Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Residential real estate prices probably dropped in November by the most in a year, signaling housing has yet to join the U.S. rebound, economists said before a report today.

 

What rebound would it be joining? Minitrue is working over time to maintain the flat out lie that the economy is recovering

48

From the lefty twats at Yahoo

President Barack Obama has another opportunity tonight to build on the surprisingly quick rebound he has engineered since receiving a "shellacking" from the voters in November. Thanks to the series of compromises he forged with congressional Republicans in December, followed by the uplifting, heartfelt eulogy he delivered in Tucson - which reminded many voters of why they liked him in the first place - the president is now enjoying his strongest approval ratings since early last year.

 

I doubt North Korean press this overboard in its effusive praise for its Dear Leader

49 Miss Marple, the term for those behaviors is "passive aggressive."  I've gotten quite good at manifesting them during my military career. 

50 Big Fat Meanie,

Thank you for the term.  I hadn't made the connection,  but you are quite right.

It is maddening that the press ignores it.  I don't know why I should be so surprised,  since the press has made it plain they are not going to question anything he does.

The thing about it to me is that it is unpresidential.

51 I just want to make a rhetorical observation; It is certainly a good thing that Islam is a religion of peace!  Can you imagine what thing would be like in the world if they were... say... less pacific?

But what do our guys say?  And I'm not talking about Ryan, who will give the "rebuttal."  Faux News, the "All Star panel," Rove the Omniscient, the butt-munch bloggers and all of the wannabe 2012 contenders.  Are they buying into the bullshit?

107 It's too funny reading the lib posts about keith.  They feel he was taken away from them cause he is the only one to tell them the truth.  They truly are crushed, it's actually sad to read.  They are still talking about it like it just happened.

108 Giffords is the new Cindy Shehan--they are going to trot her out as a reason to support every single leftie scheme. Not directly, mind you, but they'll have her around trying to get you to associate what they imagine will be your good feelings in seeing her with their plan.

From The Hill, quoted at Patterico's:

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the master political strategist for Senate Democrats, wants to turn Ryan into a bogeyman that voters think about whenever they hear about a Republican proposal to cut federal spending.

I have seen the other stuff at AT. Though fun to read and contemplate, it doesn't pertain to the citizenship issue.

I am not taking a stand either way about whether or not Ebola is a citizen. The point I am trying to make with all the stuff in my comments above is that there is a set of very plausible circumstances - none of which have been refudiated as being not true -that would lead to a scenario where it is indeed possible that Ogabe might not qualify a a citizen..and therefore not have been eligible to desecrate the WH. And Birthers have every right to demand that Jug Ears proffer proof.

"Shut up, is why" is not an acceptable answer for me. Either we have a Constitution or we don't.

It could also just be that there is something emabarrassing or awkward on it like him being listed as Barry Soetero.

There is obviously something fishy since there is so much effort to shut inquiry down when simply releasing the document would settle the issue. As far as those saying that Ebola and crew are just playing with the Birthers and giving them the rope to hang themselves, it's not working very well as public opinion has shifted in favor of demanding that the document be released. Even Tingles is wondering why he doesn't do it.

Hawaiian law allows for a child born outside the country to obtain a Hawaiian birth certificate. What is generated by the state is a Certification of Live Birth...like what Ogabe's people put out as proof he was born in Hawaii.

IIRC, it wouldn't list Honolulu as where he was born, though. And the date on the COLB is just a few days after he was born, not later.

If you accept that the COLB is legit, that is.

You're even more clueless, more dense and more shallow than that other blowhard  y-not is.

It's like I suspected when you shot off your big mouth here last week, you've got your head so far up your ass that you don't have a clue as to what is going on out here in the real world.

BTW, FYI, shit-for-brains, Teddy Kennedy died last year.  

150 Crematorium to heat council swimming pool

A funeral director has described Redditch Borough Council's plan to use crematorium furnaces to heat a municipal swimming pool as "a bit strange and eerie".

The authority's novel idea involves sucking calories from Borough Of Redditch Cemeteries & Crematorium to the nearby Abbey Stadium Sports Centre. The facility's cremators dispatch the departed into the hereafter at 800°C, the Telegraph notes , and that heat is lost to the heavens. By tapping into the crematorium, the council stands to save £14,500 annually on its heating costs.

Council leader Carole Gandy said of the pragmatic proposal: "I'd much rather use the energy rather than just see it going out of the chimney and heating the sky. It will make absolutely no difference to the people who are using the crematorium for services. "I do recognise some people might not like it, but if they don't they don't have to use our crematorium. I wouldn't want them to do that but they have to make that choice.

She added: "It's only a proposal at the moment but personally I'm supportive of it because I think it will save the authority money and, in the long-term, save energy which is what we're all being told we should do."

Gordon Hull, from the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities, admitted the plan had planet-hugging potential. He said: "From an environmental view it makes sense that you don't need a separate boiler because of how much waste heat is created from the process."

However, local funeral director Simon Thomas expressed concerns, shuddering: "I don't know how comfortable people would feel about the swimming pool being heated due to the death of a loved one, I think it's a bit strange and eerie.

"I'm not comfortable with it at all and I think trying to save money due to the death of someone's family member or friend is a bit sick. I think it will cause uproar and may even put people off using the facilities which would lose the council money. It just doesn't feel right."
