1 Good Morning Morons.  On this day in 1986 the Russian piece of crap at Chernobyl had an uncontrolled criticality with a steam explosion and fire that released stuff that made the press run amuck for years.  It also made a big mess.

2 83% of the country are not stupid but 45% are.  Somehow those numbers do not compute.

12 We have "recovered" only 41% of job losses.  So why is unemployment going down?  Its an election year and the commies are in power is why.  Just imagine the headlines of Bush was in office.  The liars are now saying it is 8.2% when in reality it is about 20%.

http://is.gd/X9OKii

No need to imagine

With President Bush pushing forward with his economic policy that has helped create a massive unemployment crisis, a closer analysis of the employment data shows that this crisis has now spread to almost every corner of the nation. Specifically, using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is possible to see how many jobs have been lost by city and state since Bush took office. Here are some highlights from those findings


So what was this massive unemployment? 

4%


The horror the unemployment rate was 4% in 2000 and by 2005 it had exploded to 5%!

13 And that's it for news

I have been wondering why Mexican Authorities aren't making a stink about this and the conclusion I reach is that it's collateral damage for the drugs going North.

17 4% unemployment would be considered full employment most of the time.  20% is a damn depression.

18 Someone with time on their hands should really clean up the MuNuvian's blog list on the right side; 4 out of 5 random clicks turned up dead or horribly out-dated sites (2007?  Really?)

20 MSNBC has decided its established fact that Romney is not "likeable," but indisputable that Obama is Everyman's Best Liked Man. BS. I never saw what was likeable about him. His oratory sucks, his cadence weird and boring. He whines. He lies. His policies a terrible failure. What the hell is there to like?

24 20 - Obama is going to be (essentially already is) the death of credibility for so many journo types. In a sense, they had an excuse with Clinton, in that they could have been said to be enthralled by his charisma, and then when the Lewinski business broke, a lot of them (including Chrissy Matthews) jumped all over the story with gusto. It was a huge money maker for them, after all. But Obama, apparently they can't quite wrap their heads around the idea that he's a complete failure, and all-around unpleasant human being. As more and more people wake up to the fact that they are completely in the tank for him, they'll be abandoned in droves... even drovier than they already have been, I mean.

27 OT: Ann Coulter has an excellent column today on immigration and amnesty, pointing out that Romney has consistently had very good positions on it.  She does invoke the "Republican establishment" boogeyman, so that should excite some of you.

Bottom line: I don't want my kids paying for someone else's lawn care through enhanced future transfer payments and social services.

28 Obama is going to be (essentially already is) the death of credibility for so many journo types.

They pretty much gave up any pretense of objectivity in 2008.  They haven't really discovered this yet, though.  I'm guessing it will be brought home to some of them in November.

29 I am deriving much amusement from Eric Erickson getting all huffy because Mitch McConnell didn't know who he was.   So now Erickson,  who sat mute and didn't say one thing to Hilary Rosen when she attacked Ann Romney on CNN (doing a fine imitation of a lump of lard) is now calling McConnell spineless.

40 28 - That's what I'm hoping. You know, a lot of us have been on this theme for eons, screaming about media bias until we have flames coming out our ears, but otherwise reasonable people will look at you like you're crazy when you do. Now some of those same people are saying things like "you know, I don't think the news is telling us the whole truth about..." this, that or the other. It's hard not to want to crack them in the side of the head, but I'm more like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, after he drops the body on the hood of the police car, thus getting their attention, and Bruce says "welcome to the party, pal!" We're going to be welcoming lots of new folks to the party this year.

41 #37  I have no idea,  but apparently HE thinks he is important.  I tell you,  getting on TV just augments their sense of self-importance and infallibility.

Plus, I think CNN picked him because he looks like what liberals imagine all conservatives look like: pasty faced and overweight.

I also think they chose Dana Loesch because she comes across as bitchy on TV.

Thus endeth my media analysis of the day.

42 EE goes up and down. Sometimes he is good, sometimes he blows.



The Dems going after Ann Romney was yet another media squirrel.



Anything to take the public's eyes off of the awful depression economy we have now. Even the liberal rag BI above reporting that 41% of jobs lost have been "recovered".  No mention that only 38% of working age people are working and that half of those are in government jobs.

Since I didn't know who Eric Erickson was either I just googled him and read his sand in his crack article at his blog.  By the time I was through the first paragraph I already hated him.  What a self-important pissant.  I'm no huge fan of McConnell (although I think a lot of morons pile on him when he's sometimes doing a good job in a minority position with one of the most loathsome piles of obstructionist shit running the clown car) but why the fuck should he care about somebody whom I didn't even know the first thing about.  And if he kept his pansy yap shut when Rosen was blasting Ann Romney, then the fat tub of goo fully deserves his anonymity.

44 #42  The dems are going to try the squirrel thing all through the campaign.  What they are learning is that when they float one of these issues,  we will turn it on them and make it damage them instead.

This is important as it keeps them from getting any traction on this crap.  And Romney can say, "Why does he want to talk about dogs rather then jobs,  of which there are none?"

The pressure has to be put on them constantly,  over every stupid trick and statement. We shouldn't let up for an instant.

45 In a sense, they had an excuse with Clinton, in that they could have been said to be enthralled by his charisma[/i}



To Hell with their excuse, the white trash son of a whore was a fucking rapist.  Nice "charisma" telling his victim to "put some ice on that".

46 @44: It's slowly dawning me that Romney's campaign advisors may... MAY... actually know what they are doing. And I say that in hushed tones, lest I jinx it.

47 Is there a more conventional name for the Squirrel/Shiny object technique?

Good question..  He runs RedState like it was actually a Red (as in commie!) State!  His doofus brown shirts monitor the comments and are very quick to ban commenters not sticking exactly to the party line.

I am proud to say I have been banned twice from RedState!

Oh.. and good morning!

49 It's slowly dawning me that Romney's campaign advisors may... MAY... actually know what they are doing.

As was pointed out yesterday, first class people hire first class people.  They appear to know what they're doing, but Romney is responsible for putting them there. 

Imagine a world with no David Axelrod, Van Jones, Eric Holder, or Valerie Jarrett. 

50 29- In addition to Red State, Erickson took Herman Cain's radio spot @ WSB in Atlanta where he has brutalized Mitt Romney for the entire primary. He jumped the shark with that around December which was about the time I started taking a second look at Romney---it had become painfully apparent that Rick Perry was not going to recover. Anyway Erickson was and has been hurting our brand. I quit listening to him and cancelled my daily subscription to Red State. Besides that he's a freaking Scandi.

51 #43  Absolutely.  The ONLY reason I knew of him was that he introduced Perry when he announced.

Then promptly deserted him with much stupid hand-wringing when Perry flubbed in the debates. 

He's a useless wannabee who fancies himself a player.

I can't stand him.  I read his column about why he didn't say anything to defend Ann and basically it was "I am so smart I was thinking about a rebuttal for something else and didn't hear her."

Lame excuse and a pretty nervy one since he expects everyone in Congress to know every policy detail that he is interested in.  And yet he "missed the significance" of what Rosen said.

Pffft.  I get better analysis here from the morons,  by a long shot.

52

And I say that in hushed tones, lest I jinx it.

i'm betting you're not alone       mornin' all

53 Eric Erickson?

Who?  The "host" of the show on that obscure network that let Hilary Rosen say "Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life"?

I still wouldn't recognize him if he walked up to me.

"self-important pissant"?  Yup.

54 I am proud to say I have been banned twice from RedState!

I got banned there for using "Hell" in a comment.
Pussies

55 #52  Yes,  but one cannot rest on past accomplishments and a little humility would be nice to see.  Plus weight loss if he is going to represent us on TV,  since he doesn't have the verbal skills of Chris Christie.

And reading that about the radio show and the Romney bashing that small town girl posted made me even madder.

Now I think I will root for McConnell,  who doesn't act like a total asshole.

56 Mitt Romney isn't "likeable"? 

I am starting to like him a lot.

Me  too. His victory speech Tuesday night was a great shot across the bow to teh SCOAMF. If he  is able to marshall his forces to attack Obama the way he did the other Pubbie candidates, this should be a popcorn-and-pudding extravaganza of a  campaign.

 

Vic, it's good to see you're feeling better this morning. Hope you and the Missus are doing well.  We're pulling for you and the rest of the  ailing Horde.

66 Miss Marple, my first clue should have been when he started bashing Herman in the same radio time slot that had been Herman's show. I never was on the Cain Train, but that was just classless. And not in a Moron sort of way either.

67 Regardless of how ya'll feel about Erickson, he did a solid job in picking apart that Rino-turtle-head-stiff McConnel this morning.

Ya know, as a big Palin fan I was very underwhelmed with how Willard first appeared in the primaries.  I thought he appeared very nervous and unnatural and was thinking "He's had four fucking years to get ready for this and is now looking like Zippy the Pinhead in public".  Plus he had worthless fucks like John Sununu carrying his water that made me think this was that pile of shit Poppy Bush v2.0.  But all that is in the past because for some reason, and I think it started with that dumbass Rosen's comments on Ann, he appears much more natural and a real person.

But a lot of that has to do with having a first rate team in place and is a good indication of Romney's executive capacity to form it.  The contrast with the turds that McRino had is truly telling (and is it any surprise that catamite Steve Schmidt was on Scarblowhard's shit show yesterday urging a Frum-esque campaign).  If Palin had an apparent weakness (assuming she really wanted to run this time, which isn't necessarily true because she may have figured she'd been too damaged by the 2008 quislings for this year to be practicable) it was in setting up a comparable organization.  She still might be playing a long game but Romney's operation should serve as a template for future candidates.

73

58    good on him, though he looks like he was done with the whole thing, when some dumbshit  said they were there , for the cookies.   i'm pretty sure i saw him (wish casting) roll his eyes.      and then comes the verbal flogging.    there's a lot to like about him.      'folks, do your research' .  shame he has to reiterate this, to a room full of journalists, though it comes as no surprise

74

Oooh, yes, I think it  was.

 

That West pointed out what most of us who follow politics have known for a while was somewhat unexpected. He has a lot of peoples' attention, primarily because he's right.

85 The government and the media can skew numbers all they want to.  All I have to do is look down Main Street and see how the economy is doing.  And I can tell you, it's not doing well.  Just look at people at the grocery store or gas station, see any smiles on their faces?  Prices are up, wages are down and people have no extra money.  They are doing well if they can just manage their bills.  People who have kept their jobs during this depression are keeping their fingers crossed they won't be the next on unemployment.  CBS evening news ran a report a couple of days ago about gas prices falling and average of 5 cents across the country and how this means the economy is bouncing back and everything is going to be rainbows and unicorns in time for the election.  The MFM does take us for fools.

86 I think Erickson ran (and won) a county commissioner's seat in Macon, GA (a corrupt hell hole). That stint is over for him though. And he took over Red State from someone else, he did not start that blog. Y'all should not have gotten me started on Erickson I researched the SOB before I decided He really was a jerk. Anyway I'm out of the influence of local GA politics now. I took the job in Wyoming and moved back out West earlier this month. And very happy about it!

The MSM will start with the feigned waking up between now and next January (note that it has already started).  They'll start noting that "oh, you know, we really haven't been as diligent as we should have been with the current President" and start commenting on how they are going to address it.  This awakening will kick into high gear come November 7th - where even the new President-elect's sister's husband's brother-in-law's second cousin's previous boyfriend's past girlfriend is rumored to have once let a dog lick her face and slept on her bed about 10 years ago -- and how we should all be outraged that a man elected to be President allowed this to happen and is associating with alleged beastialityist. 

In about 4 years they'll start with a feigned, "oh, we may have been too probing, we'll take it easier on the next President - 'we swears'".   Then if a R is re-elected, "well, the people spoke, we need to remain that dilligent"...

On February 26, George Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in what Zimmerman says was self-defense. The furor that ensued has consumed the country and prompted a re-examination of guns, race and self-defense laws enacted in nearly half the United States.

During the time Zimmerman was in hiding, his detractors defined him as a vigilante who had decided Martin was suspicious merely because he was black. After Zimmerman was finally arrested on a charge of second-degree murder more than six weeks after the shooting, prosecutors portrayed him as a violent and angry man who disregarded authority by pursuing the 17-year-old.

But a more nuanced portrait of Zimmerman has emerged from a Reuters investigation into Zimmerman's past and a series of incidents in the community in the months preceding the Martin shooting.

His detractors. You mean like the MFM and the president

The 28-year-old insurance-fraud investigator comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a racially integrated household and himself has black roots through an Afro-Peruvian great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him.

Does this make him a black Hispanic? Should the Justice for Trayvon crowd start beating up black people? If anything happens to Zimmerman it's the fault of the MFM the race baiters and Barry

98 Romney's operation should serve as a template for future candidates. Having a large pile of gold coins to roll around in sort of helps with that strategy.

99

Does this make him a black Hispanic? Should the Justice for Trayvon crowd start beating up black people? If anything happens to Zimmerman it's the fault of the MFM the race baiters and Barry

 

Look!  A Squirrel!!  [lifts edge of carpet, sweeps Zimmerman story under it with offside foot, lays carpet back down and stands over it,   pointing over there.]

100 Remember when GITMO had to be closed because it's existence was a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda?

101 If anything happens to Zimmerman it's the fault of the MFM the race baiters and Barry

There are still people claiming, "Well, he just shouldn't have gotten out of his truck!" as though he should have known then everything we know now.  It's maddening.

102 @98: There was an article on Outside the Beltway yesterday (Treacher posted the link on Twitter, I don't read there normally since they went full Chaz a while back) by a poli sci professor explaining how we're all terrible racists for pointing out the string of "justice for Trayvon" attacks.  "Because they aren't actually about Trayvon at all, and shut up" was the basis of the argument.

Also, he said conservatives like to use accusations of racism as a club to stop debate.  Have I mentioned lately that libs are all projection all the time?

103 So... I'm not sure why, but blogger has suddenly stopped publishing my scheduled posts.  The one that should have gone up at midnight is now up.

104 Why all the laudatory media coverage of Zimmerman now? He could have used this kind of coverage a few months ago.

107 Why all the laudatory media coverage of Zimmerman now? He could have used this kind of coverage a few months ago.

Just honest coverage would have been enough. But these MFM had to run with their agenda. He's a registered Democrat with black blood. Not exactly the Hitler Jugend the MFM portrayed him to be

108 The last notification vy thge Dept of labor was on April 6 and it said March numbers were 8.2% unchanged despite only adding 120K jobs. Recall that it takes 300K jobs added just to break even.

109 The real polls, not the rigged crap the msm is pushing , must show mitt up if the media is talking about doing a better job in the future

110 Having a large pile of gold coins to roll around in sort of helps with that strategy.

Yes this is obviously true.  People pretending that anybody can be Preznit are pretty amusing because the prolonged shit show that both parties have signed off on requires a huge amount of jack which rules out just about everybody.

111
  Coverage of Zimmerman has changed because the narrative has face planted--iow it blew up in their faces. 

   Funny how reality trumps projection.

That's like hanging shit stained underwear on the clothes line. It looks really bad and people sure as hell will notice it.

They Media was never in this "for Trayvon."  He was a useful piece in the ratings game.  That they were also able to poke a stick in the eye of Second Amendment proponents was just an added bonus.

Well, now everyone thinks they know what happened.  But, aha!, they don't.  Because the MFM concealed it.  So now, there will be a dramatic build up.  We'll have articles talking about how good a guy Zimmerman was, how upstanding, how that arrest in his past was just a misunderstanding, and he had to be a pretty clean guy to get his CCW in the first place... Then, just before the trial (if they have their way), there will be a "bombshell" piece that points out exactly how thin the prosecution's evidence is.  America will wait with baited breath: will the jury convict, or won't they?  They won't know who to root for.  It'll be like every bad courtroom drama you've ever seen on TV, except with real consequences.

115 I think I begin to see the "extra curmudgeonliness" someone pointed out yesterday.

Posted by: TheQuietMan at April 26, 2012 08:37 AM (1Jaio)

The trouble with an unjust prosecution, both in the real world and in MFM world, is there will always be people of extremely low IQs that will think Zimmerman is guilty of something; and the dimmest of bulbs might act on it.  His life has effectively been destroyed at this point and somebody should have to pay for that.

122

Here's the dirty   little secret (well, actually, another in a long list of things that the MFM keeps leaving out of their coverage of Trayvon) that Stacey McCain found this morning.

 

Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.
“Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I’m black, OK?” the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. “There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood,” she said. “That’s why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin.”

123 Has  anyone  else  besides  me  wondered  if   the  Zimmerman  racial  circus  was   being   directed  toward  an  end  that  would  lead  to  race  riots  in  Florida  in  time  for   the  Republican  convention?   Or  am   I  being  too  cynical  about  the  DemocRAT's/MFM's  motives?

124 Today is April 26, 2012, and yes (I checked), Obama is still a corrupt SCFOMF with big floppy ears and mom jeans. And along with his principle genital louse Eric Holder, a straight up racist and hard line socialist whose every thought is tinted with racism. So, no change today.

Justices across the ideological spectrum appeared inclined on Wednesday to uphold a controversial part of ArizonaÂ’s aggressive 2010 immigration law, based on their questions at a Supreme Court argument.

“You can see it’s not selling very well,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a member of the court’s liberal wing and its first Hispanic justice, told Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., referring to a central part of his argument against the measure.

138 New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits fell slightly last week but a trend reading rose to its highest since January, the latest sign of a weaker pace of healing in the still-struggling labor market.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped by 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 388,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The prior week's figure was revised up to 389,000 from the previously reported 386,000.

The four-week moving average for new claims, a closely followed measure of labor market trends, rose 6,250 to 381,750, its highest since the week that ended Jan. 7.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new claims falling to 375,000 last week

So they lied by 3,000 last week.  Does anyone remember how many it was the week before that?  I want to say it was roughly the same amount.  So if we figure that in, the real number is probably much closer to 391,000 claims, not 388,000.

The economy is in the S Can, and The SCOAMT and his Neo-Marxist allies are doing everything they can to a) keep it there and b) convince you that its what you should expect.

143 Axelrod has revealed that his strategy will be for Obama to accuse Romney of wanting to "turn back the clock" to the Bush years. IOW, Obama is going to accuse Romney of wanting to make the USA a Free Market economy again. He's going to say Romney wants to bring back the horrible Bush economy of 4% unemployment, rising home values, and deficits under a trillion dollars. Romney's response should be, "Darn right, that's what I want to do."

144 No jobs. The new American way is to collect unemployment until the economy improves. Unless you can get a cushy gov't job.

Or am I being too cynical about the DemocRAT's/MFM's motives?

 

Hardly.   Cynicism, like curmudgeonlinessism, is a trait that's good to have these days,  especially when it comes to this despicable excuse of an administration. Imagine  your worst fears about  what a government could do and multiply that by a factor of 10. That's what we have now.

 

There's  no doubt in my mind that the SCOAMF wants a race war so he can implement his shiny new EO that allows him to take over the entire country. And I have a sinking feeling he will be coordinating it, using  any minor skirmish, whether it be started by  race or the OWS'ers,  to do it.

 

I think maybe someone in the  White House figured out that a race war would not be a wise thing to try. Maybe somebody up there did the math and reviewed the soaring gun sales nationwide. It would not end well at all.

Well, we did better (not that I even knew there was an election):

 

>>Bossier Parish voters said no this weekend to two bond measures which would have raised property taxes about $120 for the average homeowner...to pay for a 5 percent increase in teacher salaries and another $3 million for new technology in local schools.

Jackie Lansdale, president of Red River United, said the decision was disappointing, but thanked the school board for bringing it to a vote. "I thought it was a bold proposal in behalf of the teachers and school employees by the Bossier Parish School Board and their administration. We knew it would be tough," she said.

Both measures failed to pass by a 50 percent margin. A third item, which didn't raise taxes, would appropriate about $210 to build new schools in Bossier Parish. That measure passed by 51 percent.

I'm not sure what that "$210" is supposed to be. Doesn't sound like it would go far...

Anyone know anything about this?  Or is this guy on twitter stark raving mad?

174 Okay, so I heard about two news stories today, and I don't even know enough about them to track down the actual facts.

1- Apparently some Texas Couple sued a bunch of commenters on some websites for libel and won at $14M award.  They were accused, but then either acquitted or the charges dropped of... something (can't remember what).

2- The ACLU is suing some school board for expelling a couple of girls who posted "joking" death threats on their Facebook pages.

Now, on the first: how do you rise to the "malicious" standard of Libel in a website's comments section?  Does anyone know about some of the specific things being said?  'Cause, last I checked, calling someone a "rat fink" (or even other, more insulting terms) was not libel.

On the second- what those girls did was probably illegal; I don't agree with the ACLU that what they did was harmless and "obviously just joking because... emoticons."  However, unless they posted these during school hours, using school equipment or resources, or posted them while on some school function outside of normal school hours: why does the School have any jurisdiction, here?

175 "Part of the drop was related to people gave up looking for work. People who are out of work but not looking for jobs aren't counted among the unemployed."

MamaAJ better look out.  The same thing happened here except they wanted the money to build a new High School.  It was soundly defeated in the normal Nov election.  They turned around an held a "special election" 3 months later for the same thing.  County employees were given the day off to vote.



It passed with 900 people voting. (in a county of 70K).  The local Democrat PR rags bragged about how it passed by a 2 to 1 margin.

Dang.  I hate being on the side of the ACLU, but they're probably right here. (I feel dirty just having to say that).

I can't even get up to "what they said was probably illegal."  They were (from what I can find) having the kind of conversation that pops up here from time to time, definitely tongue-in-cheek.  Moreover, it wasn't (from what I can find) on school time, property, or using school resources in any way.  The School should have no authority to expel them for what they do outside of those hours. 

It's not like it's a private school (where they could make the case that you must agree to certain behaviors outside of school, too, since it's a private contract); it's the public school system.

Eric Holder agrees and adds that whitey got what was coming to him

217 #202  When I was a kid back in the 50's,  my grandad (remembering the crime wave of Prohibition and the mob's influence on everything) used to threaten us by saying "You behave or I'll send you to Chicago."

Of course,  the fact that he had one of the Tooey gang's shot up cars stored in his garage,  which he had rented out for extra cash during the Depression could have also contributed to this.  (Indy was a hide-out for a lot of people.) He had to do an early imitation of Sgt. Schultz when the police came calling.

New Gallup poll:

PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans' financial comfort is the lowest Gallup has measured to date, with 60% saying they currently have enough money to live comfortably and 39% saying they do not. Americans' peace of mind with their finances was fairly stable at a high level from the first asking of the question in 2002 through 2007, but has since faltered.

Additionally, there may be a political component to how people feel about their finances. Long-term, Republicans, who tend to have higher incomes, have been the most confident about what they make, and Democrats, who tend to have lower incomes, the least. However, the gap between Republican and Democratic comfort has narrowed since President Barack Obama took office in 2009. And, in just the past year, the percentage of Republicans saying they have enough to live comfortably fell to 64%, down from 75% in April 2011. That 11-point decline contrasts with a four-point decline among independents and a one-point decline among Democrats.

Overall, the most common response is lack of money or income, followed by healthcare costs, the costs of owning/renting a home, the high cost of living, and energy costs. 

Faltered since 2008. It's all Bush's fault!!!!

It's been quiet.  The black Mayor of Mobile was on a tear about the mob so that has kept things under control.  More arrests to come apparently.

It's turning out that only about 3 or 4 members of the mob of 20 were actual beaters, so the bulk are not legally culpable, though still morally despicable and the Mayor reamed them about that on TV.

Well, we weren't unhappy before, but now that you mention it, the sun   is above the yardarm, so why not get hammered?

 

brb...

251 Happy now?

There was a specific request for busty Valkyries up there somewhere.

252 Good morning, folks. It begins. "PROVO — A FOX 13 news report on million dollar donations to a pro-Mitt Romney super PAC prompted a complaint to the federal elections commission. Last year on Aug. 4 FOX 13 reported two $1 million donations from Utah on the financial filing for the super PAC Restore Our Future. The source of the donations were from unfamiliar business names Eli Publishing and F8 LLC... That report became the basis for this complaint to the FEC filed by two Washington D.C. watchdogs: The Campaign Legal Group and Democracy 21. “Based on your reporting this looked like a situation where there was a conduit used to mask the source of funds which was the individual behind the company,” said Counsel to Democracy 21 Don Simon." http://tinyurl.com/89e8sw3 Husband had heard about this investigation last fall from some of the folks involved. The outlet reporting in this story is local, but there have been NY based media poking around Romney's donors (and their families and business associates) since last year. I wish they had saved any eyebrow raising donations until well into the general election when they would have garnered less attention. That said, I am not sure what the precise allegation is. It looks like at worst they used a loophole in FEC rules, unless it turns out that the company is a complete sham in which case perhaps that is some sort of violation. Obviously the timing of releasing this report now is to scare off other large donors at a time when we've been reading the GOP is spinning up fundraising efforts.

253 Egypt's new Constitution, bills that will allow a
man to have sex with his wife for up to 6 hours after she is dead,
lowering the legal age for girls to marry to 14, and also no longer...

*****

Which is much more convenient because a husband no longer has to rush around, preparing the wine and cheese in advance of killing her. He can take his time to create the mood now.

254 nice cheerleader, Gabe.

255 “Based on your reporting this looked like a situation where there was a conduit used to mask the source of funds which was the individual behind the company,” said Counsel to Democracy 21 Don Simon." Funny, but when the MFM was willing to turn a blind eye to all of Ogabe's campaign fundraising shenanigans, including foreign donors, etc.

256

Is Anal ok, too?

257 Hmm, that's strange. I coulda swore there was something illegal about a large group of people gathering to disturb the peace, especially while they're beating someone nearly to death on their own property.

=============

How about goading or encouraging the commission of a crime?  It nailed the slimy dudes in The Accused. 

258 I suggested to the principal after they did that stupid lights off thing (they didn't do it again but this is catholic school not public) that we should have "Big Oil" day where we don't use things that are produced from big oil. Everyone can walk to school except not step on the asphalt or sidewalks, no using plastics, no sneakers,  and no using anything that had to be imported or trucked in. No milk, no plastic chairs, no paper since the trees grow far away and oil is used to run the paper mills, etc. It would be interesting to see if there is anything that you can do at all without big oil. The whole school could sit naked on the playground dirt and sing if they could get there.

I also have a rant about "multicultural day". I want "american exceptionalism" day as a counter weight.

I  caught that too.  Maybe that's why the crowd was playing b'ball  in the street  right in front of his house.

261 Funny, but when the MFM was willing to turn a blind eye to all of Ogabe's campaign fundraising shenanigans, including foreign donors, etc. ----- Yes, but anyone donating to a GOP candidate must realize that. As I said, I seriously doubt there was anything illegal based on the people involved, but I still wish they had waited until the general was underway. Best to not give them any fodder this early on.

270 Ok, I heard this joke at work the other day: A man comes home with a duck tucked under his arm, He says: "This is the pig I've been effing every day for the last seven years.". His wife looks at him askance and says: "That's no pig, that's a duck!" The man retorts "I wasn't talking to you!" Bada-bing!

271 I believe it was Erickson yesterday out the gate with the whine that turnout was down--as Gabe predicted pundits probably would pontificate upon--but, I was too late to the morning thread to point it out.

But really, Erickson is all butthurt 'cause he and his buddies in the "evangelical" movement want Romney to kiss their ass more. Yeah, the group that cheered when Fuckabee did his floating cross and "don't Mormons believe some crazy shit?" thing last time, and made sure Fuckabee stayed in only to keep Romney from beating McCain, then pushed Santorum with the specific plan of trying to force Romney to name him his VP this time are shocked when the guy they've been doing their best to smear every which possible way for the past 6 years kinda has a cold shoulder for them.

For Bible thumpers I guess they haven't gotten to the "reap what you sow" part yet.

Ordinarily we don't either but they had o float a bond issue for this one and that does require a vote.  The school board used to be able to float a property tsax increase but they can't now that the State has taken over financing the schools with sales tax.

BTW, that was the result of an NAACP civil suit in one of the majority black school districts which they lost but the State said they would act anyway.  That was one time they didn't get away with the disparity of impact bullshit.  Lower property values meant lower taxes for the schools.

If you are middle class or upper middle class it's easy to rack up that kind of debt if you go to a good university.  I know people who add med school, law school or graduate school, most often an MBA onto that and graduate under a mountain of debt.  At the time they went to school, the economy was chugging along.
