— Gabriel Malor Happy Wednesday, folks.
Reps. Darrel Issa (R-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) have reintroduced a bill that would reject the NIH requirement that any published research that was funded by taxpayers be made available in the free, public NIH digital archive after publication. The bill would also make it illegal for other federal agencies to adopt similar open-access policies. They claim, ISYN, that the law is necessary to protect the sustainability of the research publishing industry.
The lifespan of the average nuclear scientist in Iran seems pretty short these days. "Magnetic" bombs? Didn't I see that in a movie?
The CDC says binge drinking is a bigger problem than previously thought. They used data from the past 30 days . . .
. . . which leads me to my last headlines this morning: all eyes on South Carolina, even last night. New Hampshire gets no respect. And finally, in an article about how conservatives are enabling a Romney win by splitting their votes among the not-Romneys, FreedomWorks' Matt Kibbe says his group is considering pushing another as-yet-undeclared candidate into the GOP primary fight. Let's just get sloppy drunk instead, 'kay?

Romney gets NH gee big surprise.....but
With 95 percent of precincts reporting, Romney was leading with 39 percent of the vote. Paul has 23 percent and Huntsman has 17 percent.
He needed a bigger blowout even in liberal NH the majority of Republicans don’t like him. Fox touting exit polls that show “electability” was big issue. That is some serious retard there folks. Your candidate has nothing to offer other than its his turn and the establishment thinks he can beat Obama. I got some news for you retards. He is the least electable candidate. Watch States like VA go to Obama again.

Here is some serious WTF, court upholds blocking ban on use of Sharia law
Perhaps the court will uphold this law
One wonders what they would have ruled if CO had banned use of the Ten Commandments? Give it a try CO, see what the hypocritical libtard judges do.

Taxpayers shell out half mil to send royal couple to Demark to beg for Olympics for Chicago
This is why Gibbsy was fired. He told Mooshell that she had to cut back on her “bread”. One wonders if they would have gone to Denmark to beg if the city of Meridian, MS was wanting the Olympics?

well Im frustrated, I really am. Im not a fan of Mitt's or the dickish Romneybots, however i'm a pragmatic who does take electability into consideration.That said, Im not a mItt fan or a fan of his Romneybots even with that. Yet, I am deeply disturbed by what I see as Romney Derangment Syndrome as folks split hairs over what is Free Enteprise and I even saw someone churn up a clear channel conspiracy involving them working w/ Bain. What is an anti-Mitt and anti-Romneybot who isn't gonna slam capitalism to do?
PS - by the way I didnt get NH 100% correct like I did IA but I came pretty close. Gingrich and Santorum did better and worse respectively then I anticipated. On to SC where the primary really begins

Actually, binge drinking sounds like the only way to survive the impending DOOM! that we see happening all around us.
Was out picking up one of B'Gal's prescriptions yesterday afternoon, was driving home on a road with a 30 mph speed limit. Some guy was right on my rear bumper, honking and waving his hands at me, obviously pissed that I was doing the speed limit in a heavily residential area with kids on bikes everywhere. He finally got to an intersection where he was able to get around me (why he didn't just pass me earlier is a mystery, the whole road has double lines indicatin its a no-passsing zone, so he'll speed, but he won't pass me?) He honked his displeasure with my sane driving as he sailed thru the stop sign and took off at around 40 mph.
I still can't understand what his problem was. Meth? Coke? I will be on the lookout for that imbecile from now on. He will regret it if he ever charges my little old beat-up, 21 year old pickup truck.
The decay of our society is painful to witness. Alcohol dulls the pain somewhat, for a while, until you run out and have to get more...

Sources within the campaign of surging Rick Santorum indicate Newt Gingrich, should he drop out of the race, plans to support the former Pennsylvania senator.
While Newt Gingrich campaign staffers are calling such talk premature, there are indications that should the former House Speaker bow out of the GOP race, he would throw his support behind rising Rick Santorum in a last-ditch effort to stop frontrunner Mitt Romney.

How maddening! The idea that foreign or religious laws, especially muz law, should be in any way considered in a US court should be anathema to all Americans. This is just more proof that the law is now nothing more than a tool to confer guilt upon all those who do not side with the Left. Justice, or even simple fairness, is out the window. Has been for years, of course, but now it's getting absurd.
Corrupt judges, tar, feathers, rail. Some assembly required.

Because they changed the definition of "binge drinking" to make the problem look bigger. If I have three 12-oz beers over the course of watching three football games on Sunday (which usually encompasses at least two meals), they call that a "binge."
Same phenomenon as calling "changed my mind the next day" "rape"--inflate the perception of the problem, and make it harder for people with a real problem to be identified and helped.

I listened to Ron PaulÂ’s speech last night.
The crowd seemed to be eating up talk of freedom, property rights, sound money, less foreign intervention and real cuts in government.
IÂ’m not nearly as smart or connected as Ace, but as I watched it occurred to me that some candidate could pick up on a few of those points and attract some voters. Not the ones who were there as hardcore Paulbots, but people who worry that the country is going 100 miles an hour in a dozen different directions.
After PaulÂ’s speech, most of the crowd followed him to an adjoining room for a practice session of chucking Jews into ovens, but some avoided the festivities and just went home dreaming of a less intrusive government.
Maybe a smart candidate could talk with these folks.
Or, on second thought, letÂ’s attack capitalism. ThatÂ’s the smart thing to do.

Sheesh. Just more fodder for damn do-gooders so they can cry and moan aobut meaningless sh*t while the nation swirls down the drain. I say that if people want to drink themselves to death, it's their own issue. Not my problem unless they go driving around hammered or beat up a friend/family member. Hell, living in this increasingly leftist rat hole, death by alcohol poisoning seems like less and less of a bad thing.

Speaking of moving, my wife and I have toyed with the idea of maybe moving back to New Hampshire again at some point if jobs and circumstance allowed. We really did enjoy the 6 years we lived there. But, after seeing the results from the voting yesterday (Mitt + Tinfoil Hat Guy > 60%), I think that idea just went out the window. That can't be the same state, or even close to the same state, that we lived in before. No thanks.

I sympathize, but I hear that Belize has a dreadful mosquito/malaria problem, and the cost of living is a lot higher. Personally I'd go for the DR - poor enough that the government can't afford high end oppression, and cheap enough that you don't need that much to live well.
But wherever that compound ends up, I hope they'll let me in. If they do I will set up the cane 'still. I know a guy with a great method for turning sugar cane into high-octane consumables. You can drink it, or heat the house with it.

When I lived in WI, there was big wailing about the prevelance of "alcohol use." They defined "one or more drinks in the last 30 days" as "alcohol use" then whined that the percentage of adults over 21 who "used" alcohol was too high.
So everyone who had a glass of wine with Christmas dinner or a glass of champagne on NYE--even if that's your only consumption of this legal substance that's been part of our culture for centuries in the past month--your "alcohol use" is a "public health problem." Let a handful of anhedonic control freaks addicted to sweet, sweet gov't funds fix you.

Mitt won NH because he freaking lives there and folks up there want Obama gone and have decided to go the electability route

This is the same thing that the MADD retards do for drinking and driving. If a rampaging teenager loses control of his car speeding through the neighborhood and runs into your house where you sit watching a football game and drinking a beer it is an accident in which drinking was involved.
Therefore we need to raise the drinking age to 85.

Unfortunately, Belize also has a long simmering border dispute going with one of its neighbors, too (Guatemala, IIRC) so you have to be careful about what part of the country you live in. The sugar cane still sounds like a winner...I'll go wherever that gets set up. :-)

A pirated conversation between Rick Perry and Sarah Palin after he attacked capitalismÂ….
Palin: Now, was that smart? Was it shrewd? Was it good tactics? Or was it stupid?
Perry: Don't call me stupid.
Palin: Oh, right! To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape?
Perry: Apes don't read philosophy.
Palin: Yes they do, Rick. They just don't understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Rick. I looked them up.

Yeah, we like the Portsmouth area, and Rye, too...we used to go over that way fairly often. We were in Concord for 3 years (can't walk without stepping on a lawyer there, but still a nice place) and Warner for another 3. My wife actually interviewed for a job in Idaho before our last move, but it didn't pan out, but yeah, someplace like that. Although, I'm afraid we're both getting to the age where a warmer climate might be needed for old bones.

What profound absurdity. I'm starting to see why the damn foreigners think Americans are all a bunch of fools. At least the eurotrash, for all their faults, are still willing to sit down and have a drink and a smoke without blowing a gasket over it.
It's a sick form of neopuritanism infecting this country, made especially toxic because it doesn't even have a spiritual component. It's all about controlling the rest of us, and robbing us of joy. After all, a leftist takes no joy from anything other than pondering the Marxist dialectic, so why should any of the rest of us have any pleasure from the mundane vices? Yet at the same time, where is the outcry over the REAL problems? Where is the outcry about the child abuse in Hollywood, or the domestic battery common among the muz, or many other things that involve crimes against persons? On such matters the do-gooders fall silent. Too big an issue for them, it seems.
Alas, the Right has a bunch of these damn do-gooders as well, people who focus on harmless indulgences, and I despise them just as much as those on the Left.

Yeah, the troubling thing about these assassinations is how sanitary they are. No collateral at all. Very precise yields. Someone is being mighty, mighty careful not to involve "innocents" in this business. Smacks of professionalism and gives great credibility to the lunatic-rulers assertions that it is the West or the Jooz.. Now, if I am a bug-F*-crazy regime, under extraordinary pressure on all sides, I might just stage myself a little ugly carnage show to get my population back on my side. Our lefty media will just drown in its own drool on that day and double-woe to any operatives when the administrations castrators start to work after that kind of episode.

Is "troubling" really the right word? Personally, I'd use the word "encouraging." I rather like the idea that somebody is doing something about the problem. Assassinating these scientists, these Mengeles, is a great thing. I wish there were more of it going on. Decapitate the entire program. And the regular Iranians are getting off scot free - no collateral damage - so they have little to beef about. Indeed, some may be relieved. How many of the work-a-day plebs over there really want nuclear war? Damn few, I'd wager.

It could be that the entire problem here has to do with reading comprehension.
Palin didnÂ’t say we should all become Nazis. Neither am I.
Palin did say that candidates shouldnÂ’t be dismissive of Paul or his supporters because they do have some points that a smart candidate could adopt at some level and gain the support of some of his voters.
Now, Ace hobnobs with the other Wizards of the conservative internet and has come to the conclusion, as you apparently have, that Perry and the other anti-Mitt candidates should characterize people who agree with some of PaulÂ’s views as Nazis. I humbly disagree and side with Palin on this one.

Actual cuts in government spending.
Just for clarification, I donÂ’t support Ron Paul and would never vote for the crazy little dwarf, but the point IÂ’m trying to get through to some of the thicker morons here (long, exasperated sigh) is that a smart candidate would pick up on a few of his themes, throttle them back a little and give a portion of his supporters an alternative.

Basically, this is a form of crony capitalism enshrined into law. NIH regulations state that funded research papers must be published in their publically accessible digital archive. This way those stupid taxpayers can read what their tax dollars have produced and use the information directly. Issa's bill would restrict the access to the archive by allowing only "research" publishers (that have K street lobbyists) to "reprint" the data.
No data for you taxpayer!
The Issa theory is that research publishers are too small to fail so they need a bailout to keep them in business.

I too think Uncle Paul in nuts; however, when I listen to the debates he always has multiple moments of lucidity and sanity that are being ignored because of his moments of insanity.
For example, calling for a formal Declaration of War before engaging our troops overseas seems like a good Constitutionally approved thing to do. Auditing the Federal Reserve and reviewing their records doesn't seem to be too bad an idea either.
I don't think there is anything wrong with looking over RP's positions and accepting the ones that are conservative and Constitutionally based and rejecting those positions that are unacceptable (such as abandoning Israel).

Good morning, all!
This story is just beyond stupid. It's so stupid I'm sure it's already been mentioned here at the HQ sometime in the last day or so, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it some more!
WARNING: Link is to the NY Times. Emphases are mine.
Companies Face Fines for Not Using a Biofuel That DoesnÂ’t Exist
WASHINGTON — When the companies that supply motor fuel close the books on 2011, they will pay about $6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law.
But there was none to be had. Outside a handful of laboratories and workshops, the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist.
In 2012, the oil companies expect to pay even higher penalties for failing to blend in the fuel, which is made from wood chips or the inedible parts of plants like corncobs. Refiners were required to blend 6.6 million gallons into gasoline and diesel in 2011 and face a quota of 8.65 million gallons this year.
“It belies logic,” Charles T. Drevna, the president of the National Petrochemicals and Refiners Association, said of the 2011 quota. And raising the quota for 2012 when there is no production makes even less sense, he said.
This is probably my favorite stupid quote from the piece, however:
Even advocates of renewable fuel acknowledge that the refiners are at least partly correct in complaining about the penalties. (MWR - PARTLY correct. Not totally correct, oh heavens no. Just PARTLY.)
“From a taxpayer/consumer standpoint, it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense that we would require blenders to pay fines or fees or whatever for stuff that literally isn’t available,” said Dennis V. McGinn, a retired vice admiral who serves on the American Council on Renewable Energy.
Gee, YA THINK?
Also, I love the "or whatever." You know, if fuel blenders are going to be penalized for not using a nonexistent biofuel, it would be nice if the people pushing for such penalties actually knew what the hell they were talking about.

I think that in their hearts, most voters want to return to the days of having jobs working at businesses. The good old days of stability and American economic success.
Will Romney take advantage of the opportunity and finally use that as a "reason to vote for me", I don't know. He has been all about organization and spending money so far. He has really needed a reason to vote for him, other than "I'm next". This is a golden opportunity served up by Newt for him. If he has the sense to take it.

On F&F this morning he said he was going to campaign in SC on "free markets" and small government. The irony it burns.
Of course none of the F&F people had any questions on that.

Damn skippy. Fat, drunk, stupid and engaging in speculative comments about women's breast sizes is how Morons should go thru life.

Israel, the pistol nation
Op-ed: World can't accept Zionism's greatest transformation: Militarization of the Jew
Giulio Meotti
Published: 01.11.12, 12:03 / Israel Opinion
For visitors, it's the most enduring impression: Guns are omnipresent, tucked inside belts, slung over soldiersÂ’ backs, c
lutched chest-high at checkpoints. From cafes in Tel Aviv to settlements on rocky hillsides in Judea and Samaria, Jews carry the guns.
Israel as pistol nation literally obsesses the rest of the world. It has nothing to do with the myth-soaked heroism familiar to Europeans from the propaganda of fascism and Stalinism. ItÂ’s the admirable construction of the homo israelianus: equal but combative.
"Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition"
Amen!

I've been saying this for years. Europeans and American liberals really cannot handle the concept of Jews Who Fight. They want Jews to continue to be the world's victims, dependent on their enlightened benevolence, or just go quietly to the gas chambers so they can be done with them.

For example, calling for a formal Declaration of War before engaging our troops overseas seems like a good Constitutionally approved thing to do.
But then what excuse would hair-splitters on the right use when Monday Morning Quarterbacking the war. Because it's more important the fig-leaf the Democrats hold over their shriveled genitalia be 100% opaque than we actually get on with killing our enemies.
Auditing the Federal Reserve and reviewing their records doesn't seem to be too bad an idea either.
Name one large troubled enterprise that a public audit helped. Let's take the already over the cliff car, running flat out, on fire, tumbling and we'll all unzip and start measuring valve lash and gear clearances by sticking our dicks in it.
Ron Paul isn't a Republican and is bat shit crazy. Whatever thin slice of his misinformed constituency that could be brought into the light could certainly be done picked up without kowtowing to Herr Doktor GnomenFuhrer.

Even better, gun control nuts go totally slackjawed when presented with the fact that in Israel, 18 year olds are carrying automatic weapons on the street (pretty much all of them) and the murder rate (ignoring suicide bombings) is about ZERO.
Israel is not a "pistol nation". Pistols are much rarer among the general population. Israel is an "Automatic assault rifle nation" with a nonexistent murder rate!

A CBS News poll published late Monday found that in a general election contest against President Barack Obama, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul would be the GOP candidates most likely to defeat the president.
In hypothetical head-to-head match-ups, Romney would defeat Obama by a
two-point margin, 47–45 percent, according to the poll. Paul would come
within one percentage point of the president

Saw a write up on Gateway Pundit that showed Paul had more Democrats/Left wing liberals vote for him than Republicans/conservatives.
Anyone else seen a breakdown? Huntsmans' voters supposedly were 51% on board w Obama being a good POTUS.

...Gingrich will appear with one of South Carolina's most prominent Democrats... at a homeownership rally on Thursday... Other speakers include state Treasurer Curtis Loftis, who has endorsed Mitt Romney
Is this rally a disqualifying event for Romney, too?

Of course the State commie party is suing anyway even though they cut the new district from 1 and 5. (Repub districts)
The suit is a frivolous suit to tie up the new district in court to cheat the Repubs of a Rep in the 2012 elections.

Then geraldo riviera was on and I caught him bitterly complaining about Romney's stance on immigration. He then went through Romney's genealogy claiming that Romney's great grandfather had 12 wives and led the family to mexico where his great grand father had 5 wives. He stressed that both mitt's father and grand father were born in Mexico and that Mitt could easily claim Mexican citizenship. He was very angry that Mitt does not talk about this. But, after he spent so much time on it on his radio show you can be sure the obama administration will jump on this big time.

Good Morning Morons. Its Wednesday January 11, 2012. On this day in 1964 the SG issued its first report on the evils of cigarettes. This after constructing machines that “smoked” 50 at a time and collected buckets of tar and nicotine to smear on the pristine hides of unsuspecting white rats. Gee, it made them sick. Now the EPA just writes a report made up from thin air. They wasted all that money back then.
