— Gabriel Malor Happy Tuesday.
ABC News has sources that say Sen. Rubio has not been asked to complete any questionnaires or been asked to turn over any financial documents typically required of potential vice presidential candidates. Conclusion? He's not on the VP short list. There's a bit of hedging since we are, after all, two months out from the convention.
Speaker Boehner and Sen. Lieberman not only managed to save the D.C. voucher program, but expanded it, in response to President Obama's attempt to kill it completely. The continued vitality of the program was important to students and parents. It was also important because it is one of the longest-running school choice programs, which means it has the most robust data showing that school choice has better outcomes than just giving lump sums to the teachers unions. There was some indication that Obama was trying to kill it for that reason alone.
While you were sleeping, the Senate managed to wrangle a possible way forward for the stalled farm bill. Even if the Senate manages to pass it, however, the House would have to get on board.
ICYMI yesterday, the Roger Clemens steroid perjury retrial ended yesterday with a very fast jury verdict of not guilty. Big waste of time, but I hope we've all learned a Very Important Lesson about maybe-lying to Congress, mmkay?
Newark Mayor Cory Booker is still grovelling after getting called on the carpet for derailing the President's attack on private equity.

The lesson learned has nothing to do with lying to congress.
Take steroids and make about $100 million, and with good enough lawyers you can get away with it.

I wonder if Booker's humiliation is making him reconsider the wisdom of remaining a member of the bunch of lying dickwipes that make the Democrat party? Naaaahhhhh. Just a continued babble of "thank you sir, may I have another?"
Oh, well. Thanks for the headlines, Gabe.
Today's Hollywood anecdote: most of Lifeboat, the 1944 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, was shot in a giant water tank on the 20th Century-Fox lot. To reach the boat, actors had to climb up a ladder on the side. Very early on, it became obvious that the actress Tallulah Bankhead was not wearing panties, and the crowd watching her climb into and out of the tank kept growing each day. At last, a 20th executive approached Hitchcock and asked if he couldn't do anything about Bankhead's attire. Hitch said, "Certainly, dear boy, but what department should I contact? Costumes, makeup or hairdressing?"
Hope all you 'rons and 'ronettes have a wonderful day.

Mebbe so, but we'd have to build a 535-bed prison to hold those who habitually lie to Congress, plus a good-size annex to hold outsiders -- e.g. Bark Obama, Holder, et. al. -- who routinely lie to them. And we should; why should the scum be exempt from telling the truth?

Which reminds me, Clowngress has called the bankers before them again. Oddly enough, it is the bankers telling the truth, and Congress again trying to force them into making bad loans, which Congress will criticize them for later.

Valero could stop importing light, sweet crude to its Gulf Coast refineries as soon as 2013 and fully rely on U.S. production, Chief Executive Officer Bill Klese said at a recent industry conference.
With the rapid growth of domestic oil, Valero has projected that Gulf Coast refiners will soon run without foreign imports of light, sweet crude. Klese now says that moment could come by the end of 2013.

Professional courtesy?
Speaking of the left's fucked-up standards WRT abusing children, here's an article from my local fishwrap extolling the virtue of a creep from Texas who cyber-stalked an Indiana boy, who received death threats after an acquaintance of the stalker published his name and location online.
http://t.co/br7bQJbu
If the creep had been the Christian and the boy the gay, the same people celebrating the cyberbullying would be calling for arrests and revocation of First Amendment rights. (And hunting down a boy three states away to bully him? That's just not something a healthy, secure adult with a rewarding life and meaningful relationships does.)
I'm so sick of the double standard.
...and it occurs to me that left along, the boy would probably outgrow some of the harsher the "anti-gay" stuff as he goes through life, much the way the "white supremecist singing twins" left their parents' beliefs behind when they went to college and experienced more of the world. But when people want you dead, disliking them is not "phobic." Kind of like I didn't give a shit about "gay marriage" until itsproponents started vandalizing churches and bullying Mormons out of their jobs, and overturning state constitutions to impose it.

Education Reform: A judge sees something wrong when 99% of Los Angeles teachers get top ratings but only 45% of students read at grade level. But the union still doesn't get it.
Talk about a sleeper. There's a law in California that requires school districts to take student progress into account when they evaluate teachers. The statute goes back 40 years; language specifically prescribing the use of statewide tests was added to it in 1999.

I'm not sure where to start with how many fucked up things there are about that story. First of all they're encouraging a bunch of STASI fuckheads who don't have anything better to do than meddle in peoples' business and report them to the MFM bluenosed dickweeds. Secondly they protect the identity of the turd who sent it in but don't give a flying fuck about IDing the church, which they'd take a complete pass on doing if it was a mosque or whatever they call the gunrunning and drug dealing emporiums of the nation of islam nutjobs which aren't exactly swish friendly in even more emphatic ways. Third, the clip was on Youtube so it's not like the Jimmy Olsen wannabe pile of shit did any real investigation other than taking a break from spanking it to tranny porn.

After Rush quoted Biden yesterday where he seems a bit perturbed that Obama was telling stories about his family being blue collar, I'm getting the feeling Bammy's going to pull a rabbit out of his ass and remove Biden from the ticket to shake things up.

Vic, DC i/b]s the Federal Government, as it exists in no other jurisdiction. The only reason they have a city council is because Congress is too busy to oversee direct operations of the City. The Federal Government being "involved" in DC Schools is not exactly the same kind of overreach as when they interfere with local school districts elsewhere.
Also, Joe Lieberman is a liberal, but he's not quite as insane as most of the Democrats, let's not burn any bridges we don't have to.

But that is the problem, everyone else IS doing it and yet Clements was supposed to go to jail. If they were charging Holder with perjury and trying him I would give them a little respect, but as it is it looks like they are going top let him go as well. Clements unfortunately was not born with a skin that is pigmented with black Democratium so he was a sacrificial goat.

Much as I hate the fat tub of shit, I'm pretty satisfied with how he's stepped all over his dick on this one, including hanging his wife out to dry by claiming that she was being injected with something illegal rather than him (although by that time she surely knew what high earning human garbage she was married to). I'm also pretty sure that he won't get in the HOF because the egotistical asshole has almost certainly pissed off a lot of sportswriters who vote on it and they're easily as much of bitter and vindictive pricks as he is. They may vote him in posthumously so he can view it from Hell as part of his eternal torture.

ABC News has sources that say Sen. Rubio has not been asked to complete any questionnaires or been asked to turn over any financial documents typically required of potential vice presidential candidates.
And we're supposed to believe a word these scumbags say?
I guess that Portman fellow is the likely choice, but that is a shame. Rubio is simply brilliant, a true political star - and his nomination for VP would neutralize Bambi's little patent "immigration" pander in one fell swoop.
Besides: I get a chubby just thinking of Rubio taking on Crazy Old Uncle Joe in a debate.

The shift to increased Asian immigration, particularly of people from India, China and South Korea, coincides with changes in U.S. immigration policy dating to the 1990s that began to favor wealthy and educated workers.
So should we now stop putting everything (signs, forms, "press one for English" etc) in Spanish and start putting everything in Korean, China (all dialects) and Indian (all languages)? Or do these groups not want to be pandered to like that?

Yes. He was primaried (from the left) and lost, then ran as an independent and won. Yes, he still caucuses (usually) with the Democrats, but he's not quite as insane as most of the rest.
He still loves the country, he believes in a strong military, and (IIRC) he wasn't too happy with how Obamacare shook out (not that he was willing to vote against it, of course). He's not a Conservative by any means, but he's not actually anti-American.
As for making it illegal to live in DC? Well, it's a nice thought in theory- but how do you accomplish it in real life? Logistically, speaking, not politically.

What would the content of the leaflet be other than the usual sick shit?
They share tips on how to seduce and groom young boys. Years ago a local radio guy had an undercover cop who had infiltrated their operation. They are very organized and unfortunately effective. We have seen the fruits of their labor in the likes of Jerry Sandusky and some elements of the Catholic Church scandal. Sandusky's MO in re: selecting and molesting little boys was straight out of the NAMBLA playbook.

That's how it usually shakes out, though not always. They really need to knock that off. I don't even care if they identify the "Asian" in question as a Muslim or not; Asia is a big ass frigging continent. Regional specificity is necessary to make sense of any news story involving it. Is he East Asian? Southeast Asian? Near Eastern? Middle Eastern? Central Asian? Indo Subcontinental? Russian? Are we looking at a North Korean sympathizer, a Muzzie terrorist, a Chinese dissident, a Japanese otaku who's watched too much Ghost in the Shell? Jiminy H. Christmas!
Look, media: at this point everyone knows that when you just refer to a subject as "Asian," it means "Middle Eastern, probably Muslim." It's no different than when you neglect to include the race of subjects in your crime stories, which is a red flag to anyone reading that the perpetrators were black. Instead of prevaricating around the racial bush, just come out and say it.

I really don't know. The police and FBI are being pretty tight-lipped about it. I may do some digging today to see what I can find.
So far I haven't heard any news outlets release either the name or any other demographic details of the suspect, but the FBI says they're investigating "terrorist ties."
Of course, with our FBI that could mean he was once a member of the Boy Scouts, so who knows?

Again, I'm not sure what to make of it. One part of me says "Muslim terror?" Another part says, "Other domestic terror?" And a third part says, "Grudge against someone?"

Gee, is it racist we don't have Korean-language ATMs in Connecticut?
Oh well, at least the Asians are like Europeans in the sense they take it as a given they would assimiliate, and abhor claiming victimized minority status. Well, until American white liberal teachers get a hold of their kids, that then proceed to spend the rest of their lives whining about being considered a "model minority."
I think what the American-born Asian kids mean by that, incidentally, is they hate being just like White People, except maybe even whiter. When it's SO much hipper to be called People of Color. Oh well... we all have our cross to carry...

As soon as the voters flush this turd down into the septic of history he so richly deserves, I will special order a bumper sticker that reads:

Exonerating the football program...that's interesting. Did you hear the latest testimony from other coaches who showed up in defense of Sandusky? They said they thought it was normal for grown men to shower with boys at Penn State, they had witnessed it many times. I was halfway expecting the witness for the defense to add that he also was in the habit of asking these naked young boys in the PSU showers if they'd ever watched gladiator movies.

Though I'll often joke about criminals convicted for serious offenses becoming "Bubba's girlfriend" when they get to prison, I actually don't condone prison rape or physical abuse of any kind in 99.5% of cases. For most criminals, I think ignoring them and cocooning them in an envelope of solitude is sufficient punishment. I don't care if they end up in solitary for twenty years.
The remaining 0.5%? Those who perpetrate crimes against children, the elderly, the disabled, or anything of a sexual nature. Fuck 'em. Let 'em suffer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a student ID sufficient proof of residency to vote in some areas?
In many places where ID is required, yes, student ID is sufficient. It varies by state, though.
Personally, I have a big problem with that. Where you attend college is not necessarily your permanent residence. What's to stop a student from California who attends Dartmouth from voting in NH AND voting in California via absentee ballot? It's way too loosey-goosey, in my opinion. I think the ID to vote should be the same as the ID one must use to purchase alcohol: driver's license, military ID, passport, or state-issued photo ID for non-drivers.
But that makes me racist or something.

For as many questions as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie DimonÂ’s recent testimony answered, there was one that it raised: WhatÂ’s with the presidential cufflinks?
Several sources have now reported that the prominent cufflinks Dimon wore during the hearing bore the seal of the President of the United States, with John Carney reporting them to be "a gift from a resident of the White House," though just who specifically remains unknown. Dimon has been known to sport government seals, including the FBI, on his cuffs as part of his "best dressed CEO” ensembles.
Better yet, maybe Dimon is reminding people that it’s President Obama that’s in fact supporting him? Even after recent criticism of the bank CEO, President Obama called Dimon "one of the smartest bankers we've got” during an interview on The View in May, according to Politico.

Rubio is even less prepared to maintain against if not outmaneuver Putin or anyone else than Romney is.
Keynesian Romney has over confidence in his own Ivy League lawyer-team consensus "how to fix the economy" spending tax funds, believing his VP doesn't need to be strong on the economy as Senate President so long as the VP acts the strong POTUS Senate envoy. Damned Lawyers, representing Romney their client, NOT We The People, intent on making PROFIT regardless of how the chips fall, having their cake and eating it, too. Kick the can more kindly, more gently, down the road of another administration. Love the most vile insider Federal Reserve relations; respect political obligations from endorsements and printer press fund raising. "Repo Men" @NRO
Given Romney's obligation to the Bush dynasty for endorsements since GW left office, and Romney's unwillingness to support what George Washington called The Great Cause of Liberty, I wouldn't be surprised if Romney falls back on Condi Rice, even if (or else particularly to be) seen as the GWB foreign policy third term. Condi isn't the blithering "reset" mistranslated idiot that Hillary is. Imagine posing Putin and Rice together playing a PR cello/piano sonata. Mr. and Ms. Manners would pursue "kinder, gentler" suicidal Rules of Engagement from Office required of subordinates, enlarging the Patriot Act rather than trimming it back as originally designed to be cut.
Anyway, Condi is the only running mate whose image fills in rich white guy's glossy photo to persuade know-not voters, countering the opposition rants that Romney is a racist who hates women.
She compounds Romney's neo-conservatism. But that's the point being made from Republican Leadership, to keep amassing more opportunism for abuses of power (taking turns) while themselves enjoying "the good life" feathering their own nests, Congress members insulating themselves against prosecution for gross dereliction of duty: Don't Ask, Don't Tell "reset".

Tough talk on border control is merely cover for one amnesty plan or another. If a politician does not provide some specific proposals for changes in actual border control processes/policies then they are not serious.
Somehow we (the country in general) have managed to have heated debates about immigration reform without any actual discussion of what the immigration policy should be.
That is how many immigrants should be admitted legally? Who should they be?
The only thing that is clear is that the leadership of both major political parties favor some type of amnesty.

The Republican Party split with progressive Teddy Roosevelt and allowed a hard core communist to be elected.
Are there any lessons to be learned here?

Yes we should drive the Teddy Roosevelt Republicans out, but not at the expense of even worse assholes being elected.
And the easiest way to do that is fixing the insane primary rules that get the progressive Republicans winning every damn damned time.

Portman builds on the competency story. No need for "gravitas" on the ticket it is already there.
Mitt is doing the things already that will energize the base by himself. Portman doesn't have anything distracting that the Left will be able to hang on him, though of course they will try.

Kasich was torpedoed by fuckhead Kevin DeWine, who's been purged from the state Repub party by the Tea Party so look for there being lots of good news on how well the state's doing in the future; certainly in time for re-election. I don't have any problem with Portman but I don't see what he brings to the Romney ticket that isn't already there.

Let's take a look at who they polled shall we ?
Sixty-four percent of likely voters surveyed after ObamaÂ’s June 15 announcement said they agreed with the policy, while 30 percent said they disagreed. Independents backed the decision by better than a two-to-one margin.
“In that Republican Party, there is a tolerance problem,” said Carmen Nieves, 27, of Albany, New York, who is of Puerto Rican heritage and participated in the Bloomberg June 15-18 survey.
“These are things that have to be done, and I’m expecting them to be done,” said Nieves. “I see a person who is doing his job.”
RACIST!
“At first I was really against it, but after sitting down and thinking about it, a lot of kids here are good kids,” Loretta Price, 65, a retiree and undecided independent voter from Ocala, Florida, said in a follow-up interview. “I think it was the right thing to do.”
RETHUGLICAN ROBOTS ARE STEALING OLD PEOPLES MEDICATIONS!
Karis Verlander, 65, an independent from the suburbs of San Antonio, said while she agreed with ObamaÂ’s decision, she thought it was driven more by politics than core beliefs.
“He’s just playing politics with this issue,” she said. “He doesn’t really care.”
HE IS LYING BUT I STILL AGREED WITH HIM ! INDEPENDENT! FIRE CANT MELT STEEL ELEVENTY!!!!!!!!11111!!
That poll would be 1000% more useful if printed on sheets of toilet paper.

Loads, despite the best efforts of the PRC. Between 7 and 13 main dialects, depending who counts, and God knows how many local variations, not all of which are intelligible to each other. (In fact, it's more an exception than a rule when they can make sense of each other.) As a hallmark, Mandarin (which has been pushed as the 'official language' for nearly 100 years) is the first most common at 850 million, while Cantonese at 70 million (!) clocks in at third place.
Folks, that's like if folks from California were completely unable to be understood when speaking by folks from anywhere else in the US. As bad a mess as English is, Chinese in all its glory is far, far worse, and that's why I laugh my arse off any time someone insists China is taking over--they're barely unified as a nation and culture, and that's with about 4000 years of trying!

I'm not saying it's a liability to be white. I'm saying that Romney is, let's face it, boring. That's not a bad thing in itself, but he needs SOMEONE at VP who doesn't fit the preconceived Republican image that a lot of idiots have of white dudes in suits. Sarah Palin gave McLame's campaign a serious boost because she was something new: an energetic, outgoing female candidate. Jindal's done time in the trenches -- literally, what with Katrina and all -- and he's got solid Executive experience. That he's got a darker skin tone than Mitt is just good for the cameras that will be making a NONSTOP issue of race whether we like it or not. That he is hella more articulate and intelligent than Senile Biden is icing on the cake.
*shrug* Just speaking my two cents. I'm voting for Mitt regardless of who he chooses, so it doesn't really matter to me.
...
Well, unless he chooses some dipshit like Lindsay Graham. Then I'll still vote for Mitt, but under SEVERE protest.

I used to go to Chinese action flicks at a theater in the San Gabriel area. It had two screens and usually ran different features on each but for a big release like a new Jackie Chan they would have a screen for Mandarin and the other for Cantonese.
So yeah, Cantonese speakers may be a minority but they command some serious numbers just the same.

He has a car elevator. His wife's horse is going to the Olympics. His son just had twins via a surrogate, fulfilling the prophecies of Margaret Atwood. O_O
Boring?!

Now we have Rubio on record as saying that he would sneak into the U.S. if he were not a U.S. citizen and "couldn't feed my family".
I give up.

The best thing Congress could do for D.C. is to let the appropriate pieces go back under Virginia and Maryland. Then at least the Virginia side would have adult supervision.
That was alread done for the Virginia side. Problem is, Maryland doesn't want retrocession of their portion.

I know, I know! You're preaching to the choir. But in his youth he didn't do drugs, break the law, protest on the steps of the Capitol, go trekking through the African jungle, or do anything else that people seem to think is "interesting." Therefore he is considered "boring."

many a woman is guided in the election booth by the relative humidity in her panties.
And now you know why Clinton was the first Dem in years to get two terms. Too bad for Adlai Stevenson that he didn't have that nip-stiffening charisma.

Rubio's family was given asylum when they fled a Communist dictator.
Obama's policy opens the doors to the voter fraud necessary to install himself as a Communist dictator.
Rubio's problem with conservatives is his stubborn inability to recognize the difference.

Rasmussen needs to poll some unemployed American citizens and see how much support Obama's illegal plan (in more ways than one) gets.
Silly me, citizenship means nothing therse days.

Another approach: Imagine instruction booklets repeating themselves seven times before even getting to 'foreign' languages!

----- But the Chinese system of writing isn't tied to reproducing the sound of the words, the characters are ideograms. So shouldn't the instruction booklet only need to write it up once -- doesn't matter if everyone says the words differently as long as they understand the characters the same way?

Gillian Tett was also on, very powerful woman at the Financial Times. A brit. Lives in New York, not sure she is a citizen. I know the Financial Times is a brit vehicle but how many American women are just a capable, if not more so, as she; and, with jobs scarce, would be eminently qualified for her job?

Ohy, bullshit on the "who's gonna pick your food" . The machines that pick the food are doing quite ok so far. Certain Southern states that have chased out the illegals are doing ok farm-wise as well.
I'm also sick of this meme that every single illegal alien is a godsend to this country. There may be some good ones but the bad ones cancel them out. Theer arer plenty of sponges , parasites, and outright criminals coming here who are a drain on the country.
I just don;t understand why we have to be the only country in the world that cannot have a controlled border.
Play by the rules, welcome to America. If not, see ya wouldn't want to be ya.
And I'm not denouncing myself either.

If securing a place in an administration means you have to say things you don't believe then who wants the place in that administration, booker did himself and his career an enormous favor.

Mechanized is expensive and has overwhelming benefits but it isn't always possible or advisable. My wife's family used to grow cabbage and as recently as 15 years ago when they stopped, there was no effective cabbage harvester although there were patents on some. A quick google shows that in North Carolina they still mostly harvest by hand. Be glad to see summer ag work by US kids to give them an appreciation of what hard work is and where food comes from. OTOH, tomato harvesters have given us roughly cubic shaped (optimal packing density), leather skinned, unripe, tasteless produce that's gassed with nitrous to fool us into thinking it is actually ripe.
