June? Huh. June.

Two videos this morning.

First up, Orrin Hatch opponent Dan Liljenquist says he supports tax increases (he calls them "revenue enhancements") if necessary to cut the deficit and as part of a deal to cut entitlement spending. Hatch says no to tax hikes, even as part of a deal.

Second, from the folks over at Breitbart, last night President Clinton shot down President Obama's attacks on Romney's business record, explaining both that Bain's activities were both good and necessary, and saying that Romney had a "sterling business career."

Have a great weekend.

I know we all ♥ Mitch Daniels around here, but fucking up the circadian rythyms of millions of people because a handful of golfers can't be bothered to arrange their work-life balance was bullshit. *spit*

(And don't give me that "just get a blackout curtain" nonsense--my body still notes the position of the sun when I go to work and drive home. At 5 p.m., the sun is in the 3 p.m. position. At 7 a.m., the sun isn't up yet. In JUNE. The only way not to notice this is to never leave the basement with boarded up windows, ever. The blackout curtain is necessary to block the streetlights, otherwise I can read in bed with the lights off, but it doesn't affect the lizard part of the brain that reacts to the position of the sun.)

(I wonder if this is why Hoosiers are getting so much fatter than before...not enough sleep = fucked up cortisol, getting up at six to go to work after five hours of sleep = snacking on sugary carbs all day to stay mildly alert....hrm.)

Of course, but he has to say that. He doesn't want to be accused of torpedoing Obama-that would be bad for Hill in '16. It's what he doesn't say about Obama's policies (they'rrrrrre GREAT!), and what he does say about Romney's experience.

22 Obama to re-do healthcare ...tss... but only in second term. This is like asking Nicodemus to explain why you must pass the exam before you can read it.

I had to chuckle at the apologies Obama must be making, begging for donations until realizing what further eugenics and audacity of economic corruptions he'd manage with another round. -- Speaking of which, recall his press agent's advertisement /born in Kenya/ which included a resume claim that Obama was an economics journalist.

28 This article appeared a couple of days ago at Cato and is another example of the ever expanding reach of the feds:

If youÂ’re a small merchant and you do a lot of cash business, please read on very carefully:

A federal law called the Bank Secrecy Act requires that banks report to the feds their customersÂ’ transactions of over $10,000 in currency. More menacingly, the BSA makes it a federal crime for customers to try to dodge this paperwork burden (or just hedge their privacy) by making repeated smaller deposits or withdrawals that, totaled up, would meet the $10,000 threshold. When the Supreme Court ruled in 1994 that defendants could not be convicted of this Â“structuringÂ” offense unless they knew the practice was illegal, Congress promptly changed the law to delete the willfulness requirement.

It's not a long article and well sourced -- http://tinyurl.com/8y6vf5k

30 I have changed my mind about Orrin Hatch. While it is true that he has made a few bad votes, over his career he has consistently defended conservative principles as well as unwavering and fierce support for our judicial nominees. Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork come to mind. You may not agree, but Hatch is definitely not in the same category as Dick-weed Lugar. Liljenquist is no Tea Party candidate and is looking and sounding more like an establishmentarian RINO with each passing day. I support Hatch. Now go get your fucking shine boxes.

32 Another Solyndra is heating up nicely:

A politically connected, taxpayer-funded solar firm announced a massive round of furloughs on Friday, just weeks after its chairman told Congress his company was Â“financially strong.Â”

First Solar, an Arizona-based solar panel manufacturer that received more than $3 billion in federal loan guarantees under President Obama, has furloughed half of the 240-person workforce at its Antelope Valley Solar Ranch One (AVSR1) power plant near Los Angeles.

44 Today would have been the 100th birthday of Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson. I think he was the only Democratic politician I ever liked and respected. Though liberal on social issues, he was strong on national defense, a tough anti-communist and an unwavering defender of Israel. He was also in the forefront of the cause for Soviet Jews when it was not popular. He would be not recognize his party if he were alive today. More at CommentaryMagazine.

45 Good luck finding any place where Warren reported to the feds that she was an Indian.

Her defense will be that it isn't her fault HLS reported that to the feds (and to be honest, it's not).

And HLS has a good defense in that minority status is based on self reporting. It's not like they knew they were rendering a false statement.

46 Bloomberg's BusinessWeek is reporting that there was a bunch of quid pro quoing going on with the drug industry and the Dems to get OCare concessions.

Drugmakers led by Pfizer (PFE) (PFE) Inc. agreed to run a Â“very significant public campaignÂ” bankrolling political support for the 2010 health-care law, including TV ads, while the Obama administration promised to block provisions opposed by drugmakers, documents released by Republicans show.

The internal memos and e-mails for the first time unveil the industry's plan to finance positive TV ads and supportive groups, along with providing $80 billion in discounts and taxes that were included in the law. The administration has previously denied the existence of a deal involving political support.

Good to see you're up, Vic. After yesterday's headline thread, I don't think anyone begrudges you a little extra sleep.

Today in 1913, D.W. Griffith began filming "Judith of Bethulia." A retelling of the story of Judith and Holofernes from the Old Testamen't "Book of Judith," it was the first feature-length (meaning an hour long) movie released by the Biograph company. The Biograph directors were worried not only about the length of the film - they didn't think people would watch a movie for that long - but by the cost of the film (over $30,000), which strained the limited Biograph budget.

They refused to allow Griffith to make any more films of "Judith's" length, so he left Biograph, taking a stable of actors with him, including future stars Blanche Sweet, Henry B. Walthall, Mae Marsh, the Gish sisters, Lionel Barrymore and future movie Tarzan Elmo Lincoln. He formed the Reliance-Majestic studios and began work on "The Birth of A Nation."

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend, 'rons and 'ronettes.

". . .Jack the Ripper as a cannibal."

Don't need to wait for Hollywood. After the September 30, 1888 "double event" murders of Elizabeth Stride and Catharine Eddowes, a Mr. Lusk of the local vigilance committee received a package with part of a human kidney in it, enclosed with a letter (dated "From Hell") where the writer said that he took Eddowes' kidney and "fried and ate it was very nise [sic]."

Ripperologists believe the note was a journalist's hoax, although pathologic examination showed that the kidney itself was real.

119 95 Separating ourselves from Britain took all that Americans had in order to accomplish.

Wilson's worms rotting in the grave: 100 years ago he campaigned for president by pushing promises NEVER MEANT to be kept.
Supported States Rights
Supported Individualism
Supported No Participation in the European Wars for Empire

Yes, even while remaining silent on his desires to achieve the downfall of the "outmoded, irrelevant" Constitution and to push the USA into his dreamy League of Nations with insane Wilsonian propaganda "The Great War to End All Wars"; instituting the national income tax, government goon G-Men and the Federal Reserve.

Prior to Wilson, presidential candidates promised what they WANTED TO ACHIEVE (whether they could or not was another matter). Woodrow Wilson was the first to campaign utter Deception.

You'd think that after 100 years, voters would wise up. NEVER vote for the candidate with the biggest war chest. Blood money buys deception at an awful cost. And the fool who believes propaganda, failing to conduct skeptical research before voting, is torching America.

But try telling the propaganda eaters anything contrary to their acquired taste.

Clinton said that in the end, Obama's Policies are better than Romney's. And that is all some will choose to hear.

Clinton's talent remains being the ACCEPTABLE liar.

Does Bill actually intend to direct Obama's re-election bid on behalf of the Democrat Party? Obama couldn't convert skeptics regardless of how hard his TOTUS blubbers. So Bill is Barry's last hope. The re-elected Barry would be (specifically) Bill's Puppet. Does Bill Clinton have so much faith in himself to think he can own the miscreant Obama? Clinton has the Democrat voters behind him that Obama lacks. But having proved a most egregious amateur, incapable of successful internship in office, Obama lost all "hope". One way or the other, Bill Clinton is adept at sweeping inconvenient booby traps under the rug, particularly if it means wagging another dog.

Ha! I had never heard that one before.

Oh, it scales alright. As long as the body count scales proportionally or better.

187 Why not just wait until the actual numbers fall into place and then they wouldn't need to be revised at all? Managing expectations. And minimizing bad news.

198 "MichiganÂ’s attorney general has announced an investigation into possible fraud in the case of Rep. Thad McCotterÂ’s ballot petitions. The five-term Republican congressman submitted 1,830 signatures of which only 244 were deemed valid. In a statement, McCotter, who says he trusted his campaign team and was unaware of the problems, welcomed the investigation and said he Â“will assist as they see fit.Â”

When evacuated from the field, yes. No doubt, no better in the world.

Yet despite his best efforts, Michael Yon's critique of the available officer medivac helicopters remaining grounded while wounded soldiers bleed out has never been addressed by either the Brass, the POTUS or Congress.

I'll never forget the stench of urine in the Veterans Hospital when visiting my uncle.

206 If thereÂ’s anything Granny Warren hates more than a fake Indian or a plagiarist, itÂ’s one of these damn real-estate speculators buying up the hammered middle classÂ’ homes and flipping them for big bucks.

Unless, of course, Granny is the hypocrite conniving with the banks to do the hammering and the hacking.

Granny wrote in 2000 that foreclosure sales Â“are notorious for fetching low prices.Â” And boy, would she know.

HereÂ’s a foreclosed property she picked up in Oklahoma City at 2123 NW 14th St. for $4,000 in 1993. She transferred it to her brother and his wife in March 2004 and they sold it for $30,000 in February 2006.

Of course this is the same Elizabeth Warren who talked about...
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody."

210 Steve Rothman is meeting with Obama in the Oval Office today. I'm loving the deathmatch between him and Bill Pascrell. Some Democrats are saying Rothman should have gone after Garrett, but he was too yellow. But the radio ads with a message from Big Dog himself have been relentless. It seems the national party has taken a keen interest in this particular primary.

215 Orrin Hatch opponent Dan Liljenquist says he supports tax increases (he calls them "revenue enhancements") if necessary to cut the deficit and as part of a deal to cut entitlement spending. Hatch says no to tax hikes, even as part of a deal.

So...

Lilenquist is supposed to be the conservative alternative and Hatch is the filthy RINO, do I have that right?

217 Cossacks of Zaporozhian pioneer the AoS lifestyle, circa 1676, writing a letter to the Ottoman Sultan explaining that no, they will not surrender:

Thou art a turkish imp, the damned devil's brother and friend, and a secretary to Lucifer himself.

What the devil kind of knight art thou that cannot slay a hedgehog with your naked ass?

The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou son of a bitch wilt not ever make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck thy mother.....

Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur....

So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. Thou wilt not even be herding Christian pigs....
