Happy Tuesday. Some links to get you started:

Police evict OWS from Zuccotti Park -- the Mayor says the Occupiers will be allowed to return, but without tents or sleeping bags.

PETA is Pissed at Mario -- things I didn't know: Tanooki Mario is based on an actual "tanuki racoon-dog" that is prized for its fur.

A wave of state election laws poses the single greatest threat to democracy and civil rights in generations, a number of House Democratic leaders charged Monday.

Sounds like the daily message from The State. They print an anti election law piece every day. The Dems hate them some voter ID laws. You must have an ID to cash a welfare check but not to vote. Wonder why that is?

14 The NYPD showed up with batons, so many batons, man. They had riot shields too. It was horrible, man, a total overreaction, they're like, violating our human rights and stuff. There were 10,000 viewers on the livestream which totally gives our occupation legitimacy. I tried to tell the cop this and he didn't even listen to me.

SC Rep Primary in Court

Four S.C. counties Monday asked the state Supreme Court to make the Republican Party pay for its cherished first-in-the-South presidential primary in arguments that raised questions about the authority of state government versus the publicÂ’s access to elections.

What BS, not a leg to stand on here.

If the Republicans lose the case, state GOP chairman Chad Connelly said it is likely to put the primary — set for Jan. 21, just 10 weeks away — in jeopardy. Losing the case would require the party to use paper ballots, which is likely to cause trouble with the federal Department of Justice, which must approve the election, he said.

Now that truly is BS. Why would the DOJ give a shit about paper ballots? The last Republican primary runoff had paper ballots.  And no, the DOJ doesnÂ’t have to “approve of the election”. They only have to approve changes in election law.

 

But in making their argument against using taxpayer money and resources to host the primary, the counties harkened back to the Jim Crow era, when lawmakers made primaries a private function so as to exclude black voters — at least, that’s how Chief Justice Jean Toal saw it Monday.

The primaries should be a “private” function you idiot. And the court ruling against the Republican Party in making them “open” is based on the fact that the State provides support for the primaries and therefore can determine if they are open or closed.

The State needs a new reporter.

Newt Gingrich is no conservative

Every Gingrich profile proclaims that he's a dazzling "ideas man," a "one-man think tank." It seems that, if you clamor long enough about "big ideas," people become convinced you actually have them.

But most of Gingrich's policy ideas over the last decade have been tepidly conventional and consistent with the Big Government, Beltway Consensus.

Read all about it folks. As I have said Newt is no conservative and he is NOT the anti-Romney. The only thing he is good at is 30 sec sound bites and attacking the press.

27 Newt vs Romney Vic -- your pick?
 
I'd take Newt. I'd love to see Perry climb back up into contention but it's a steep hill. Cain is on the downslide, and as Michelle Malkin put it, Cain makes Perry look like a freakin' MENSA member (paraphrase, and she has slammed Perry already).
 
My plan at this point is to vote for Perry if he's still in by Super Tuesday.

A guy got pushed by a cop at some point while the larger vermin were removed from the park so that the smaller vermin could be cleaned out of it. Big deal, right? Well, here's how a commenter on the live feed describes it:

Posted by: Joffen at November 15, 2011 06:59 AM (zLeKL)

A lot of us didn't expect Cain to last this long. The only reason he has is the debates. He is good for red meat and that is about it. Much like Newt. But in the end it will boil down to the same thing it always boils down to; organization and money. Perry and Romney have both, Cain doesn't.

It's exactly how Obama would have looked in 2008 if he hadn't had the lefties that comprise 99.9% of the MSM covering for him. But, as someone said in a thread yesterday, Obama at least did enough homework so that he could fake speaking coherently about various things from time to time. Cain apparently can't be bothered to learn enough to even give decent non-answer answers. I seriously doubt Cain could find Libya on a map if you spotted him the name of the continent it's on.

In 2008 - and since then - we've gotten to see what affirmative action looks like when pushed to the highest office in the land by Democrats. In 2011, we're getting to see what the same thing looks like when Republicans try to do it. Hopefully - fingers crossed - we won't reach the point of having to find out first hand what a disaster this guy would be as president.

38 Niles Gardiner takes der Krugster out to the woodshed and applies a little 'attitude adjustment'.
 
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is right about one thing, when he says: “now, with Italy falling off a cliff, it’s hard to see how the euro can survive at all”.

But the rest of his analysis of the crisis in Europe, as well as the causes, is in the realm of pure fantasy.
 
Krug is on his usual soapbox hollering spend spend spend.

Gabe-do you mind giving a mini review of Skyrim? My kids are hounding me about it for Christmas-grades prevented them from getting it when it came out. I would appreciate a moron's view of the game.

I've only played it for about six hours and, of course, I immediately wandered off the main storyline, so I have no comment on that. As far as gameplay goes, it's good. They took out many of the things that bugged me in Oblivion and streamlined others. The thing that's getting the most attention is dual wielding and it is very cool. Graphics are excellent, though they've toned down the bright colors, as compared to Oblivion. It looks a bit more like the Morrowind color palette.

As for whether it's kid-appropriate, that's on you, Pops. The opening scene includes an execution on the chopping block. It's not super-detailed or anything, but you do see the head roll and the body slump. It's a violent game.

42 I seriously doubt Cain could find Libya on a map if you spotted him the name of the continent it's on. If you watch the video, Cain's like, "Libya...Libya..." as if he's trying to remember what the fuck a Libya is. Oh, and I love the classy excuse the Cain campaign gave following the disaster: he got little sleep and the video was edited. As opposed to Perry's deft handling. Cain is done.

I wonder if Romney will use his organization to help get Cain voters to the polls in Iowa? He surely doesn't want Cain to implode so completely that he drops out of the race this soon, leaving his supporters to go to either Gingrich or Perry (hopefully). I'd be willing to bet Cain's disorganization has no clue how to get people to the polls for a caucus or a primary either.

What's the matter with Wayne Huntsman?

I agree that Cain is looking bad right now. In his defense, I'll say only that I think he has managerial skills that would keep him from muffing it big-time if elected. I will take him over the stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure if that's the choice.

Perry looks better. At worst, a dumb conservative is better than a "smart" liberal.

Yes, I'd support The Newt if he gets it -- I can't stand all the Newt-love being spread around right now, as history shows him to be a total hack politician -- and, though it'd nauseate me, I'd take Romney over the Traitor-in-Chief.

On the day the Supremes granted cert, I heard an idiot reporter say, "Most experts think the SC will uphold the law since most of the appeals courts rulings have upheld it."

Good. I think (hope) that if this thing gets down to even Mitt vs. 2 not-Mitts (Gingrich and Perry) instead of just 1 not-Mitt, Romney may be toast. I could be wrong, but I just don't see a lot of folks currently supporting Cain (or leaving him now as the case may be) or any of the others leaving their candidate to go to Romney. Well, aside for the 8-10 who are supporting Huntsman, I guess.

66 Gosh, why can't we be more tolerant like the Left? From Gay Patriot: "A cast member of the gay reality TV show “A-List Dallas” tells The Daily Caller that he was punched to the ground and bloodied Friday night by someone vandalizing his car because he’s a gay conservative associated with commentator Ann Coulter. Taylor Garrett, a Republican consultant in Texas who stars in the reality series on the channel LOGO TV, said in an interview that he was attacked outside a birthday party in Dallas after finding a vandal scratching “F–k Coulter” on the side of his car. Garrett said the incident reflects a troubling mindset. “The Democrats want me to live on their plantation as their slave, because I’m a gay person,” he said. “And I refuse to do that.” Photos provided by Garrett to TheDC show the phrase about Coulter keyed in large letters across his car. Other photos show Garrett with a bloody ear and blood covering his white shirt."

81 Moki,

Mostly what Gabe said about Skyrim.  There's a lot of blood in the game.  I've played for probably around 12 hours and barely done anything with the main quest (I think 2 dungeons and a few errands).  Hell, I haven't made it much outside of the area of the map you start in (though that's changing).  The game *will* suck down time.

The only people who are opposed to it are the Democrats and their lackeys in the press. Fortunately the GA law was litigated all the way to SCOTUS and upheld. So everyone is now modelling their law after GA's.

From time to time here in MD the waiters / waitresses ask for ID if you order a drink. A couple of months ago I had a very apologetic waitress timidly ask for ID and when I laughed and told her that was outrageous flattery she explained the "inspectors" were being sticklers and if she screwed up not only would the restaurant be fined but so would she.

As with too many other states no ID is required to vote, though. I had a discrete conversation with one of the poll workers at the last election. He shook his head and said, 'but that's what the people wanted', and then very quietly 'stupid people.'

Attacking the peopleÂ’s last hope shall be the biggest mistake these ruling tyrants ever made. Raids have taken place against occupations all over the United States in the past days in a deliberate coordinated effort to beat us into silence.

Let this be the 1%Â’s last mistake as the 99% march on Washington now. In the coming days let us flow in united mass to Occupy the National Mall one million strong.

Skyrim has already cost me a day of my life. Not sure I'm a fan of the new item selection menus, but then the ones in Oblivion were god-awful.

Oh, I like the interface very much, but that might be because, as you say, Oblivion's sucked so much ass. Skyrim's seem much easier to navigate, with information displayed quickly and cleanly.

168 From NRO:

"I recently moved from Manhattan to the suburbs, and since my driving skills had deteriorated somewhat, a friend was instructing me. She explained that when you drive on narrow, lightly traveled suburban streets, you don’t need to worry about staying in the proper lane unless there’s a car approaching from the opposite direction. Instead, she said, “Go down the middle of the road until you’re forced to the right.” And I thought: Ah, the Mitt Romney strategy . ".

The founder of Adbusters, Kalle Lasn, raised the idea that it might be time for a tactical retreat earlier this month, telling CBS Radio, Â”Now that winter is approaching, I can see this first wild, messy, crazy occupation phase kind of slowly winding down.”

Last week, Mr. Lasn added, in an interview with the Guardian, that he was concerned that “The other side is owning the narrative right now. People are talking about drugs and criminals at OWS.” To change that, Mr. Lasn said, it might be time for “a grand gesture.”

This just in Napoleon declares victory in Russia after a "grand gesture".


Previous suggestions from the Adbusters’ editorial office in Vancouver have not been taken up, like the initial idea that the movement should “incessantly repeat one simple demand,” and focus on the need for “a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in Washington.”


Uh yeah, like the most transparent and ethical administration is going to say goodbye to all of that money

R&B diva Patti LaBelle hurled curses - and half a bottle of water - at a woman and her 18-month-old daughter after a dust-up over parenting in an apartment building lobby, according to a lawsuit filed Monday and the family's lawyer.

189 Drudge is headlining a CNN poll:

CNN POLL: Whites give president thumbs DOWN 61%-36%; Non-White thumbs UP 67%-32%...

Link to the pdf of the poll questions.

They broke up the races into two groups: white and non-white. And that's fine as far as it goes, but what do you suppose the results would be if they grouped for black and non-black? It would be interesting to see what obama's support is among the minorities who are not black. Something tells me it is cratering there as well. After all, Obama's black support is in the 90's, but his non-white support is 67%. Maybe not cratering, but at least diminishing.
