For those who missed the Coburn rundown on Newt this weekend
He doesnÂ’t think much of himÂ….neither do I. But, then again, I am beginning to not think much of Coburn either.

Former miss USA gets popped for DUI in Highland Park
I wonder if she got on Kowalski’s lawn? Anyway, I’m glad I am not famous. I was popped for DUI way back in my young salad days when I was single and driving to “The City” looking for chicks in nightclubs instead of driving over there to have a chick stick a needle in my chest and pump in a bag of poison. It didn’t get splashed all over the papers from coast to coast then.

The Hill (and I suspect the rest of the MFM) is doing their job to help Obama in his strategy
Just months ago, the U.S. credit rating was downgraded and Democrats worried Obama was following in the footsteps of one-term President Jimmy Carter. Maybe he will, but reports in the last week suggest manufacturing and construction are humming, and Thanksgiving saw record-setting shopping by consumers.
The icing on the cake? A jobs report Friday shaved nearly half a point off the unemployment rate. The 8.6 percent rate was down from 9 percent in October and is the lowest unemployment has stood in two and a half years.
I said this weeks ago, this is his reelection strategy. So manufacturing is up eh? Is that because all the companies that got bailouts are pumping out product to showrooms that sit and draw dust? Unemployment is down? Is that because the numbers are an outright lie and the MFM is hardly questioning them, at least not The Hill. The truth is we are mired in a depression and have never got out of it but you would never know that reading the average newspaper are watching the nightly news. (It would be a different story if Bush were still in office, never forget that).
Next on the agenda you will see new “stimulus” projects being implemented from unspent money. It will be spent almost exclusively in toss-up States like VA.

Paul Ryan hints around that may be looking at supporting candidates who "primary" big spending RINOs
Paul Ryan to endorse in GOP primaries, help replace ‘timid’ congressmen with ‘bold conservatives’Haven’t we heard this story before in 2010?

This is the kind of brain dead stupid we get from the Dem PR rags about green shit
While still promoting the stupid AGW scam they push this crap out there. It is obvious that the MFM is going to continue to ignore all the evidence that the AGC scam is outright fraud pushed by a few select people with the financing of the government, primarily Democrats.

Yes, there is a Moron wing in Japan, although unlike us they are rich
Speeding was identified as a possible cause of what is believed to be one of the world's most expensive ever road accidents when up to £2.6 million-worth of supercars ended up in a crumpled heap on a motorway in Japan.LOL, racing on a public road????

Ummm...that's not what the article says. The article says that the policies weren't followed and that there's already been an internal investigation as to why not. Arpaio didn't ignore anything - some of his staff apparently dropped the ball and are now likely to face disciplinary action.

Trump ia now on NBC saying how proud that he is of himself. He just said that poor kids have bad role model parents who are basically useless. Matt Lauer does not seem to agree with Trump . Lauer said that Trump is just moderating the republican debate to advertise for himself and become more famous..lol

I have witnessed several of these on the expressways here in Chicago area.
It seems to always be Asians - maybe Filipinos? Although, here they seem to be using souped-up compact cars. They usually do this on weekends as the highways are more open.. but they weave in and out of traffic like crazy.

Since I am wise to the Machiavellian spin the White House uses, my guess is that they are trying to make GOP strategists think they are worried about losing the black vote. If the article is true, Obama is going to have trouble getting the inner city types to the polls.

That is exactly what I think. I think they are worried that the black turnout will be low this time. They'll still get 96% of the ones that show, but as I have always said, elections hang on who gets to the polls.
The impression I get is that the Peggy Joseph's out there are disillusioned because they didn't get gas in their tank and their own mortgages paid.

Unfortunately, having a lot of Democrat voters - black or otherwise - stay home on election day doesn't mean that there won't be just as many votes "cast" as in 2008. I expect the level of fraud in 2012 to dwarf what was done in 2008.

Most local police forces in the larger cities are armed and equipped much like the military anyhow, just without the discipline and command structure. I think a goal of the DHS is to put a national police command structure in place.

I was surprised that I heard (at least on Faux News) that the unemployment numbers were cooked by not including all those people that had found extended unemployment to be an easier path than continuing to look for work and were thus conveniently removed from the rolls.
Like the inflation numbers that exclude energy costs, another case of government lies, damn lies, and statistics at work!
Posted by: Hrothgar at December 05, 2011 03:55 AM (i3+c5)
Yeah, I was surprised as well, but you can bet the MFM is not saying that. The Hill isn't anyway. They are felating Obama as hard as they can draw a suction.

Compare:
Individuals within the Administration set out to send guns to Mexico via straw purchasers and some of these guns end up getting used to kill Americans. We rightly hold the leaders of the Administration accountable for these crimes.
Individuals within the County PD ignore sex crimes and let complaints go uninvestigated. Your excuse: "policies were violated and this wasn't the leader of the County PD's fault; just police officers under his command."
That excuse demonstrates a level of moral flexibility that should embarrass anyone.
Arpaio is a thug. The fact that you excuse his thuggery because his most frequent victims are liberals, aliens, and journalists is despicable.

-------------
a neighbor who had been 'fun-employed' from a mfg job last year has been working as a part-time seller at a local dealership (for a company who will remain nameless but that took a lot of obama-cash and sells trucks named after animals) asked about the large amount of inventory and the weekly deliveries of new cars and trucks when sales were at all time lows.
His sales managers answer was that they had to take a 'certain number of dogs so that they could get any of the good vehicles'
Rumors are also that some of the vehicles have been sent 'on consignment' not sold to the dealers.

The City of El Mirage contracted services from the Maricopa County Sheriff Dept. for a wide range of police protection from 2005 through mid-October 2007, after the city's police department had been criticized in an audit as poorly organized, loosely supervised and mismanaged. El Mirage city police and detectives stayed on the job, and failed themselves. The sheriff's internal effort to determine what had gone wrong with the sex-crimes investigations was twice derailed. Currently aside from Arpaio who is waiting for the investigation to conclude, El Mirage Detective Jerry Laird and Bill Louis, then-assistant El Mirage police chief are finger pointing in CYA mode. Their own friends couldn't possibly be responsible for sitting on their thumbs. What were these poorly organized, loosely supervised and mismanaged professionals doing to follow up on reports in their own office?

Yeh, most of our neighborhood decorated outside by Thanksgiving, but we're slow as usual and it couldn't happen yesterday! Inside, we have a new couch and still have the old one, so there isn't room for the tree yet.
I'm going to have to get an electrician out here because last year the outside lights overwhelmed a circuit repeatedly. For some reason, the bathroom in the back of the house is connected to the same circuit...
The rain is certainly needed. Just funny to get more in 48 hours than we had all summer! I'd forgotten how much it can rain here.

I always wondered if Peggy Joseph 1. Didn't know the difference between a mortgage and rent. 2. She expected Obama to buy her a place and pay the mortgage (which is nonsensical--doesn't he have enough stash to pay the whole thing up front. or 3. She actually did have a mortgage thanks to Bawrney Fwank and his banking rules which explains why the housing market tanked.

A distinction should be made between traditional anti-Semitism, which should be condemned and Muslim hatred for Jews, which stems from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Gutman said. He also argued that an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty will significantly diminish Muslim anti-Semitism.

All that being said, Nov did turn out to have the average daily high about 3° higher than last Nov. However, the last Nov was colder than the previous.

Morning, all!
I don't come bearing any great insights into the worlds of politics, economics, or international relations this morning, but I do come bearing a little insight into human nature.
This morning I had reason to wonder what 15cm would measure when converted to inches. I typed the question "15cm in inches" into my handy Google search box and clicked the little magnifying glass.
(The answer, for those wondering, is 5.9", plus a bit)
Anyone care to guess what the very first search result was?
No, not Yahoo! answers.
No, not a measurement conversion website.
No, not the Office of Weights and Measures.
The very first search result for the question "15cm in inches" is...
...the Wikipedia entry for Human Penis Size.
Discuss.

I've read the pieces you have put up about Arpaio and they have made me wonder about the man but I am cautious about swallowing the negative reporting on any "conservative" until the gavel comes down.
Call it the Herman Cain syndrome. For those of us who didn't hate him off the bat, the charges looked bad but waiting for the other shoe to drop allowed the revelation that some of the accusers were serial filers of harassment cases and then there was the announcement of the big joint presser that mysteriously never happened. Now it looks like the gavel has finally come down but even if the man had an affair it doesn't mean the rest wasn't fishing and dirty politics.
Which brings us to your assumption that anyone who doesn't jump on the Hate Arpaio train is a racist-
You are a drama queen who damages his own cred with emotional outbursts.
Just put the damn articles up and more of us might buy what you are selling. Don't be a donkey in the comments.

Jan.25/2005
'Only one Jew' now in Afghanistan A 45-year-old man is believed to have become the last Jew in Afghanistan after the death of the caretaker of the only functioning synagogue in Kabul.
It has emerged that the caretaker, Ishaq Levin, aged about 80, died of natural causes about a week ago. His Jewish neighbour, Zebulon Simentov, lived with Mr Levin in the synagogue. Correspondents say that around 5,000 Afghan Jews left the country after
the creation of Israel in 1948, with others leaving after the 1979
Soviet invasion.
The death of the man believed to be his only co-religionist does not seem to be a source of grievance for Mr Simentov. "He was a very bad man who tried to get me killed," he told the Associated Press news agency, "and now I am the Jew here, I am the boss." Correspondents say that the two men were at loggerheads for some time, with both vying for control of the synagogue and both saying that they had been tortured under Afghanistan's hardline Taleban regime. Mr Levin said before his death that he had been publicly accused by Mr Simentov of converting to Islam so that Mr Simentov could take over the running of the building. Mr Simentov blames Mr Levin for the loss of the synagogue's most sacred treasure - a copy of the Jewish holy book, The Torah, which he says was confiscated by the hardline Islamic Taleban regime.
Worldwide Jewish organisations say that Jews have been in Afghanistan since the eighth century, mostly in Kabul and Herat. But in recent times many have emigrated to Central Asia and India.

To Recap, According to Gabe:
Sheriff Arpaio, against whom his "victims" may seek legal redress = THUG
Judge Vaughan Walker, gay judge who overturned CA's Prop 8, a constitutional amendment, as "unconstitutional" = NOT A THUG
Once again Empire of Jeff conveniently misrepresents my views. I criticized that decision when it happened, right here on this very blog. http://is.gd/sj7ab9
And I have repeatedly had to point this out to EoJ, as he makes this very same accusation about once a month. Get a new fib, man, this one's stale.

Posted by: Justin at December 05, 2011 06:38 AM (yoAYX)
The problem is, Gabe, that article doesn't say what you say it does. Municipal cops, who were being "supervised" by the sheriff's office because the department was corrupt and sloppily doing their jobs, didn't do their jobs. Now, you can say that's the sheriff's fault, but anybody who knows anything about law enforcement knows there are sometimes deep divides between departments, often the worst of which are between municipalities and counties.
If Sheriff Joe dropped the ball here, I don't see it.

"So, by writing it this way, he has protected his legal conclusions by enshrining their factual predicates.
Now there's nothing improper about that, generally. For example, in a bench trial for theft, if the judge determines that the defendant stole from the victim, well, of course he's going to make that factual finding. The legal conclusion that the defendant is guilty follows. It makes sense that the appeals courts would give deference to that factual finding because the trial judge was in the room, got to see all the testimony and evidence. He's "closer" to the facts, so his understanding of the facts gets some deference. On the other hand, the trial judge has no more facility with the legal question -- whether the determined facts add up to a conviction -- than the appeals courts, so there's no deference.
But it's a more difficult situation when we're not talking about obviously factual determinations. Judge Walker made a factual finding that sexual orientation is a fundamental characteristic of a human being. Eesh, "fundamental characteristic" sounds awfully legalistic to me. And his second factual finding, that California has no marital requirement of fertility, goes a long way towards tossing out the proponents' entire argument that traditional marriage is necessary to promote procreation and a stable environment for child-rearing."

True story: Prop 8 Petitioners went with exactly the argument I made---that J. Walker's factual conclusions aren't factual at all, but really just legal conclusions in disguise---in their appeal to the 9th Circuit. Yes, it was lawyerly. Then again, I am a lawyer, aren't I?

Individuals within the Administration set out to send guns to Mexico via straw purchasers and some of these guns end up getting used to kill Americans. We rightly hold the leaders of the Administration accountable for these crimes.
Individuals within the County PD ignore sex crimes and let complaints go uninvestigated. Your excuse: "policies were violated and this wasn't the leader of the County PD's fault; just police officers under his command."
That excuse demonstrates a level of moral flexibility that should embarrass anyone.
The difference between F&F and Arpaio's situation is that F&F was policy, approved from the very top. That's why those at the top are hopefully going to fall. Arpaio may eventually be shown to have been negligent in his management of his department. Or, he may not. But right now, all the article you linked tells us is that not pursuing those sex crime investigations was against his policy, that he has conducted an investigation on the matter, and that disciplinary action is pending.
Arpaio
is a thug. The fact that you excuse his thuggery because his most
frequent victims are liberals, aliens, and journalists is despicable.
It could well be that Arpaio is a thug, but that's not demonstrated or corroborated by this article.

Yeah, if we're disclosing our biases, something I thought lawyers and judges are required to do, I strongly suspect guys like Arpaio really are thugs and racists. And as a Perry supporter, I'd like to believe everyone who also supports Perry is a fine, upstanding citizen. Alas, that's not always the case, and I would prefer Perry to distance himself from someone like Arpaio, not embrace him.
Whatever your biases, Gabe, facts are facts, and this little article doesn't do what you suggest it does to discredit Arpaio. Try again.

I hate to stick my nose in an argument............oh heck, yes I do. It seems you Gabe are here creating a strawman. You are attempting to argue facts that have not been presented. Strike one. You are attempting to state that because not being outed at the time, proves that he is not a gay robed master. Therefore arguing against facts that have been presented. Strike two. You stating that someone has rewritten history here is a lie, you are again presenting something as fact where there is no evidence presented, only your foolish attempt to get someone to take the eye off of the actual argument.

You're an idiot. Jeff demanded to know why I didn't go off about thuggery by a gay judge trying to impose his preferences at a time when we didn't know the judge was gay. Since you apparently have trouble with reading comprehension let me rephrase my reply to Jeff. I'll use small words:
Dear Jeff, I didn't go crazy denouncing Judge Walker's imposition of his preferences in the Prop 8 case because I didn't know he was gay at the time. Your suggestion that I did know rewrites history. Love, Gabe.

Another "great" lawyerly (I know, not proper English) argument. An ad hominem. Great.
I only "attacked" your one comment because of the lack of debate etiquette. I do not care if you like or love Judge Walkers preferences in the Prop 8 case. It seems you should extricate yourself from the discussion because you have bias involved. You know, maybe recuse yourself from the discussion. By the way, marriage is between a man and a woman. Civil unions do not have anything to do with marriage. I could marry a woman right now, yet the government would not have any say or decision in the matter because I would not get a marriage "license". Marriage has NOTHING to do with government. It never has and it NEVER will.
It is a strawman created by our government to entrench itself in our lives.
Just giving you my position on the debate in the whole marriage and gay civil union debate so you have reference.
By the way, are you a criminal attorney? Is that what got you all hot and bothered? Of course nowadays, even criminal attorneys have very little court experience or debate experience. They just use the ol plea bargaining to abrogate the rights of their clients.
Posted by: David Kramer at December 05, 2011 08:59 AM (OkW7e)
Ok we can pretend that all the "aliens' do not tend to be of the same racial makeup. Then Gabe has hysterically charged xenophobia instead of racism.
And I offered to take Gabe at his word that I am misunderstanding him which would still leave the imputation of bad motive to people who don't jump to his side.
Remember: I stated (famously) that Gabe's posts about Arpaio had made me wonder about him. If Gabe doesn't go about berating those who don't immediately agree with him, his argument is stronger and could win out.

Having a difference of opinion is natural. But when racism isn't the cause of different opinions, to constantly pull out the race card against those with ideological differences is a sign of ideological illiteracy.

I think there is some of that. Many of the Newtiphiles, former Cainiacs, post Perrites, and forlorn BachMen, are all latching on to Newt. Do not make waves, do not expose Newt for the washington insiders scumbag that he is, because Newt is the last Redjack! If Newt goes down before the primaries - Romney gets the nomination. So Newt must be held together long enough to make it through the primaries - vetting is to be frowned upon. Sure in the general the Dems are going to release the giant crap dam known as Newt's life, but at least Romney will be defeated...

Under Pressure to Reduce Deficit, Congress Tees Up Year-End Spending Spree
The coming year-end spending spree after so much debate over budget deficits shows just how hard it is to stem the government's flow of red ink.
I as about to write one of my own snarky headlines into this link, but I erased it and used FoxÂ’s. Mine would have been in violation of the AOS keep it cool policy. We have been complaining a lot lately about the available candidates, indeed with some saying it just doesnÂ’t matter any more. With clueless assholes like this in Congress it just backs that up. Its time to start looking for a cabin in the mountains folks.
