The “news today” is mostly the same shit we have been hearing all weekend so I will not repeat endless links of who “done it” like itÂ’s the Republicans fault. No, itÂ’s the Tea PartyÂ’s fault.  All this horseshit at the same time the Democrats in congress are crying for increased SPENDING! The irony is blinding. But here is the way it is this Aug 8, 2011 day of DOOM.

More lying BS from the MFM

Congress Has Chance to Pass Bills That Would Create Jobs

With the battering debate over the debt ceiling over, the stage is set for Congress to approve and President Barack Obama to sign three big free-trade agreements and the most significant overhaul of the patent system in 60 years.

This new “patent overhaul” is more reward for big company cronies. Keep in mind it was written by Democrats during the period when they controlled both houses and it has gotten very little press. It has provisions in it that favor big companies who have large staffs and large lawyers (no surprise there). It will actually help big companies steal inventions from private innovators and small companies.  It allows “first come first approved” on patents without regard to who actually did the invention.

Contrary to the lying BS in this article if they actually wanted to create jobs they would (1) say no tax increases on the table and (2) We are going to go in and kill all kinds of EPA (and other) job killing regulations.

Right now in the middle of great depression 2.0 it is hard to imagine that even the AP is so damn stupid that they think new patent rules will create jobs. Based on that fact alone this has to be a talking point memo from the commie Party.

After Downgrade, All Signs Point to Sharp Decline When U.S. Market Trading Begins

We saw this coming yesterday. But all the Morons should keep one major thing in mind. Contrary to what the MFM likes to tell you, the DOW is not the economy, and neither is it a big bellwether for the economy.  It is a measure of what big ticket traders think the selected stocks are going to do in the short term. For what the large institutional investors think watch utilities and market volume.

For what the actual economy is doing watch whether or not you and your neighbors are employed and retail sales and manufacturing inventories.  Guess what? None of those things is doing so hot right now.

Our wonderful DOJ hard at work

Even more evidence that there is only one thing on their minds.

Eminent domain used to push out blacks, suit says

The Justice Department has brought a lawsuit against Joliet, Ill., accusing the city of seeking to “limit or reduce” its number of black residents by seizing a federally subsidized housing development through eminent domain. The move displaces more than 750 low-income residents, more than 95 percent of whom are black.

Normally the commies love them some big city “urban blight” eminent domain action. Not so this time. It stepped on the race mongers at today’s DOJ who only cares about one thing, the continued race war.

This suit is so patently ridiculous if we had real judges and a real legal system the people bringing it would be disbarred.

Steve Chapman explains the fight over small airport subsidies

For the life of me I can not understand how any Senator can defend this grotesque waste of money. Especially when we are talking about cutting Defense, SS, and Medicare to reduce spending.  It is absolutely insane.

And finally, as I predicted, that decrease in spot gold was very temporary

The rest of the news is more of the same.

8 The Downgrade Blues by Arch Conservative Maureen Dowd

The dissonance of his promise and his reality is jarring.

When he had power, he didn’t use it. He wanted to be a “transformational” president like Ronald Reagan, but failed to understand that Reagan’s strategic shows of strength allowed him to keep the whip hand without raising his voice.

And now, just when the high school principal in the Oval has been browbeating Congress to help create jobs, he is once more distracted from that task as he tries to save his own.

He goes to fund-raisers to tell people to stick with him, but he seems to be trying to reassure himself.

Vic, the crap about the patent reform law really frosts me every time I hear these weasels spout off about it.  But if you can't reward your cronies when you are in office, how will you survive with  no job skills once you are out of office?
One of the beauties of the existing US patent law was that it favored the first invented, not the first filed.  Thus the garage tinkerer had a shot at securing the patent, but that cut out the lawyers and corporate pond scum so we need to fix it.  As usual, count on the beltway insider crowd (R&D) to screw the small guy, feather their own nests, and "legislatively improve" something that has worked pretty well for years.
I loves me a rigged game, but I would like to be on the right side of the rigging for once. 

11 Just as the Mexican Military does not "accidentally" cross the border bridge into El Paso, TX, unannounced, the Mexican Military landed a copter "mistakenly" at the Laredo International Airport. Aside from the modern installations, facilities and the small lake next to the Laredo International Airport, there is no mistaking it for a so-called landing strip in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico which doesn't appear on a Google map, just as there is no mistaking Laredo for Nuevo Laredo.

There's a new definition to "international airport" in practical terms, facilitating any nation's military.

Under his watch, Gov. Rick Perry has no comment.

12 Your morning Obama bailout:

Education Secretary Arne Duncan says he will announce a new waiver system Monday to give schools a break from student testing mandates in the federal No Child Left Behind law. Schools and districts where too few kids pass the tests for several years are subject to sanctions that can include firing teachers or closing the school entirely.

The plan to offer waivers to all 50 states, as long as they meet other school reform requirements, comes at the request of President Barack Obama, Duncan said. More details on the waivers will come in September, he said.

The goal of the No Child Left Behind law is to have every student proficient in math and reading by 2014. States have been required to bring more students up to the math and reading standards each year, based on tests that usually take place each spring. The step-by-step ramping up of the 9-year-old law has caused stress in states and most school districts, because more and more schools are labeled as failures as too few of their students meet testing goals.



Could have sworn the massive increase in education spending over the last decade was supposed to make kids smarter. Oh well. it's just money...

18 Unexpected drawback of living in a deluxe apartment in the skyyyyy....


Muslims living in the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, should fast longer during the Ramadan holy month, Dubai's leading clerics have said.

During Ramadan, Muslims are supposed to not eat or drink between dawn and dusk.

"Burj Khalifa is almost one km (0.6 miles) high, which means people in higher floors can still see the sun after it has set on the ground," Ahmed Abdul Aziz al-Haddad told Reuters. He said they should break their fast two minutes after those on the ground.

Another Dubai cleric, Mohammed al-Qubaisi, has been quoted as saying that people living above the 80th floor should fast for an extra two minutes, while those on the 150th floor and higher should wait for three more minutes before eating or drinking.

19 Muslims living in the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, should fast longer during the Ramadan holy month, Dubai's leading clerics have said.

I have been wondering when a group of radical Christians (since we are all terrorists now) are going to crash a 747 into that building while reciting the 23rd psalm.

25 The real indicator is the GDP.

Even the GDP has its problems, it includes federal and state spending which is not real economy.  it is circular spending.

26 I glanced at an article about London.  It wasn't clear what the rioting was about.

27 Andrew McCarthy skewers Gov.Christie's appointment of a convicted terrorist defender and Sharia law advocate to judge in New Jersey.

The questions about Governor ChristieÂ’s appointment of Sohail Mohammed and his exertions on behalf of MohammedÂ’s client, Mohammed Qatanani, have nothing to do with either sharia or the all-purpose smear of Islamophobia. They are about the governorÂ’s judgment. They are about a U.S. attorney with political ambitions pandering to a politically active constituency at the expense of national security and enforcement of the immigration laws. They are about his decision to award a state judgeship to an attorney who was an active and vocal board member of a very troubling Islamist organization — and who has a penchant for presuming that perfectly valid anti-terror prosecutions are, instead, anti-Muslim persecutions.  Those questions are not answered by bluster.

Blustering against American constitutional conservatives as if violent radicals, but of course the authoritarian Republican Party Leadership would promote Christie's political aspirations. He's their bulldog.

But in gives the yoots an excuse to riot, burn, and loot. 

34 I hope somebody reminds Bill O'Reilly what he has been saying these past three weeks.  About how the congress needs to pass something to get the debt ceiling raised.  Because if they don't the stock market is going down the tank and we will lose our AAA rating.  Spare us a book on the economy, Bill.

Expect such accidents from the aggressively mistaken Mexican Military flights and landings without regard to national borders. Under Perry's watch, a drone exercise where no bodies were recovered already took place in Austin's leased property where DHS was manning the emergency response teams coincidentally on hand for a "drill". 

39 THis blog really blows.  And all you folks can bite my crank.

40 Anyone who did not know "organic" food is a huge ripoff deserves exactly what they get.  The idiot greens also need to ask themselves what would happen if the entire agricultural world switched over to their organic shit.

Mass starvation would occur because the world is always on the edge of starvation and crop yields per acre for organic crap don't even get on the comparison chart with modern methods.

Of course that is what the greens want anyway. The trick is making sure that they are the ones doing the starving.

41 If you haven't seen it yet, go read Insty's post from a reader, dad of a special ops guy, who rips the anonymous source that leaked on the helo crash. A tidbit:

Yeah, really.

45 I don't know the particulars but guessing from past performance, how exactly will free trade agreements create jobs?

I saw an interview/tour of one of the only/few shoe manufacturers in the US. The owner/supervisor/interviewee/tour guide stated that they were concerned about this new free trade agreement because it will not only allow us to sell more goods to other countries but (naturally) they will get to sell THEIR goods HERE.

The country mentioned was Vietnam. They make shoes there and make them cheaper. Which will create at least the possibility that the shoe company here will be forced out of business or to move.

Yeah. King Putts has decided that since companies aren't getting those job numbers up, we'll make more jobs elsewhere.

I swear, he's doing this on purpose. NO ONE COULD BE THIS STUPID!

Wait, what's this? You mean they'll still blame us no matter what happens? I could have sworn the two reason to pass the Boehner plan were as follows: 1. We won't win the media war if we don't, 2. We will get our credit downgraded if we don't.

Remember the Libyan War? Oh, come on. It was in all the papers for a couple of days. And then, oddly enough, the media lost interest in Obama’s war. But it’s still going on, out there on the fringes of the map. “We are generally in a stalemate,” Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced to a roomful of chirping crickets the other day. ...

The Libyan War never caught the imagination of the American public, even though youÂ’re paying for most of it. But in Tehran and Moscow and Beijing theyÂ’re following it. And they regard it as a useful preview of the post-American world. Absent American will, even a tinpot desert drag queen can stand up to the great powers and survive. The lesson of ObamaÂ’s half-hearted little war isnÂ’t lost in the chancelleries of AmericaÂ’s enemies.

For dominant powers in decline, it starts with the money, for Washington as for London and Rome before it. But it never stops there. The horizons shrivel. Two-bit provocateurs across the map pick off remnants of the old order with ever greater ease.

America has had two roles in a so-called “globalized” world: America’s government was the guarantor of global order; America’s economy was the engine of global prosperity. Right now, both roles are up for grabs. And there are no takers for the former. Pace Nancy Pelosi, “life on this planet as we know it today” is going to change, and very fast.

Alas - plenty on our side have also bought into the idea that any trade deal that opens our market is beneficial to us somehow.  No matter that nearly every so-called trade partner we have erects trade barriers against our goods, whether through subsidies of their own industries, unreasonable import regulations, overt tarrifs, or other policy trickery.  Apparently the fact that we can get a t-shirt for 50 cents less offsets all those other negative effects. 

You can bet that these trade deals will do little but drive the wage scale here further down and undermine domestic production for the benefit of a few well connected exporters.

Yep.  Even back then you could see that they were going to do the same thing here.  And it's not going to magically be different in 2012 either, because 1) the 'realists' are basing their plans on a massive sweep of both houses and the White House, which is a tall order, and 2) because the GOP has never shown any interest in fixing the problem, so even if they did, they would revert to slathering pork and business-as-usual.

The tragedy of the Grand Bargain is that the GOP's goal was to avoid getting blamed for a shutdown, and there was a conceit that passing 'something' would fix the problem.  So when many of us were yelling that the plan was stupid and wouldn't fix anything, we were ignored for not seeing 'the big picture', which of course is elections in 2012 and the wishful thinking that we are going to get a filibuster-proof majority.

The GOP needs to reassess its priorities.  We need people whose main goal is to fix things, not get reelected.

66 Anyone who did not know "organic" food is a huge ripoff deserves exactly what they get.  The idiot greens also need to ask themselves what would happen if the entire agricultural world switched over to their organic shit.

67 Oh and there's another article from The Daily Beast,  (don't click this link), with all these idiot Dems lamenting the fact they ultimately supported Obama over Hillary. They quote some old bitty saying that wishes he was tougher with Republicans because she wants to see 'blood on the floor'.

The public is always on board for new taxes - so long as they're not the ones to pay them.  New taxes on someone else always seem to strike them as a good idea.

I echo the sentiment that we're "taxed enough already" and don't need any more.  But if they insist, the first I'd raise would be a compensatory tarrif to equal exactly those tarrifs / restrictions imposed on US goods.  Then would come the tax on immigrant remittances - 50% of each transfer sounds about right.

85 dogfish: "There was a related comment, and apologies to the original author as I cannot find it, reminding that we were told during the CR fight to save our powder, that the 2012 budget was the hill to die on, only to arrive at the 2012 budget fight to find General Milquetoast still in charge."

The Hobbit class has been saying this forever. Meanwhile, the "elites" and leaners have been pissing in their cornflakes telling them to not be quite so terroristic and impatient.

This. I'd add repeal Sarbanes Oxley as well.

87 13 Just as the Mexican Military does not "accidentally" cross the border bridge into El Paso, TX, unannounced, the Mexican Military landed a copter "mistakenly" at the Laredo International Airport. Aside from the modern installations, facilities and the small lake next to the Laredo International Airport, there is no mistaking it for a so-called landing strip in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico which doesn't appear on a Google map, just as there is no mistaking Laredo for Nuevo Laredo.

There's a new definition to "international airport" in practical terms, facilitating any nation's military.

Under his watch, Gov. Rick Perry has no comment.

To be fair to Perry, it's unlikely the Texas National Guard maintains SAM batteries at the airport--I wouldn't say impossible, though, because it IS Texas.

88 Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the nation’s credit rating gives House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan every right to say “I told you so.”

As Tuesday’s recalls approach, union leaders are urging supporters to “knuckle up.”

You violent thugs!  You mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging Neanderthals!  You Rethuglicans absolutely take the cake!  Are there no limits to...

Oh?  They're Democrats?

Never mind.

You too? I block access to the NYT via my firewalls so I accidentally don't give them an accidental hit. They are so compromised as to be disinformation, and I avoid GIGO when possible.

The Boston Herald is the more conservative paper in Boston - generally they endorse Republican candidates.  The Boston Globe are the all-out liberals.

92 I don't know how Mo' could type with such a hangover, that's the closest she has come to reality in three years, as for the MiniTrue bulletin, Fox has to come up with it's own content.

93 It has kept the Springfield, Tenn., resident going through more than two years of letter-writing and phone calls on behalf of 11 men who died 164 years ago fighting the Mexican-American War.
U.S. servicemen's remains from the War of 1812 have been returned from (now) Canadian soil for reinterment in the U.S. so there's no real reason not to do it for any Mexican War dead too.

94 Does anyone have a link to that creepy YouTube video of the paean to Obama?.. You know, the one with the background dirge/chant music, and the yellow rays emanating from his face.

I thought I saved it to my favorites but, I can't find it. 

95 This blogger has really interesting things to say about Seal Team 6, and the movie Obama is having made about himself.

As disgusted as I am by everything Obama-related, I have to say that as long as the Administration is not using government resources to make the film, I think the Leni Riefenstahl comparisons are overplayed.  This won't be the first modern politician to have a hagiographic film produced this election cycle, although I hope it will be the last. 

97 The public is always on board for new taxes - so long as they're not the ones to pay them.  New taxes on someone else always seem to strike them as a good idea.


It's not "taxes", silly.  It's now called "revenue".  Sheesh, don't you ever listen to the rats and MFM?

98 THis blog really blows.  And all you folks can bite my crank.

Keep your angry inch in your pants.  Things are only going to get worse for you, the 'rats, the MFM and Teh Won.  In the past words of Ace, you all and the 53% that voted for Larry Sinclair's flame were "skull fucked with a stupid stick".  Truth hurts.

99 I guess China missed the "tea party downgrade" email from mybarakobama.com.

the Department of Innovation logo of the locked gears reminded me of the logo for the Ruckus Society--remember the Battle in Seattle, and ELF, and all those good kids?
