1 Mitt Romney polls even!  That's not news?

2 Lot out there.  I haven't finished going through it all yet but here goes:

Good Morning Morons.  Today is Wednesday, July 18, 2012.  ON this day in 64 the great fire of Rome occurred. And no Nero did not start it so he could “fiddle while the city burned”.  He wasnÂ’t even in the city at the time it burned.  He did seize on the fire as an excuse to blame Christians and begin persecuting them but that was after the fact.   It did result in a new city plan and what were probably the first urban fire codes.

3 Illegal worshipers plan to protest AZ anti-illegals law even after the Supremes struck down most of it.   I say it would be a good time for them to “show their papers”.

4 I posted this in a thread yesterday but many of you morning folks may have missed it. This is some more serious shit coming out of this administration.  Top FDA officials have been implicated in illegal spying and harassment of FDA whistle blowers. This released from Senator GrassleyÂ’s office.

http://is.gd/uNfa0l

5 Obama unveils plans to throw away another $1B in unconstitutional interference in the public school system.  He wants to create “master” science and math teachers.  My feeling is that this would soon grow into just another social outreach program aimed at minorities and the so-called underprivileged.   No money has been authorized for this program and none will. But will this stop him from telling the DoEd to start throwing money at it?

http://is.gd/8ooBrY

6 FBI raided Trenton NJ mayors office at 2:45am.  Article didn't mention his party affiliation.  You can guess.

7 Emmet Otter and his all jug band attack swimmer in MN lake.   This is the craziest thing I ever heard of.  Most likely the otter had rabies but this is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing. Well, maybe not the craziest thing.  Jimmy Crater had crazy bugs bunny coming after him.  Probably another case of rabies.

8 Sheriff Joes says Obama BC is fake and that HI is a “birth certificate factory” where foreigners can get a BC easily.  Says it is a National Security threat and wants 6the “feds” to investigate.  Who, Holder?   Hahahahahahahaha

9 Bullshit article from the Russian Times about  GIGANTIC HORROR radiation levels reaching the U.S. West Coast from the Japanese reactors.

The reason I am linking this is that it is absolute bull shit but I am sure the watermelon-commies will latch on to it like Louisiana swamp leeches.  The proper response to it should be sunken Russian subs have released tens of thousands of times more radiation to the water and we have seen nothing.

10 Americans joined disability ranks higher than those finding jobs.  No shit, 50% of those disability people scamming SSDI have been estimated to be fraudulent.  Private companies with disability donÂ’t have that problem.  When people try it they get caught and prosecuted for fraud. Not so with the Gov.  The Gov doesnÂ’t give a shit because it isnÂ’t their money.  Its yours.

11 OK ladies a story for yÂ’all.  Man frisked at SF airport because they thought he was hiding something in his pants. He was, it was his crank.  He is reputed to have the worldÂ’s largest.  Too bad they didnÂ’t include photos for you ladies.

http://is.gd/eULzks

But not to fear, I diligently went out and found a photo that is SFW.  You can Bing up his name with safe search off and get NSFW pics but ace doesnÂ’t like us to post links to stuff like that.  But here is one you can see why they thought he was hiding something.

12 Scathing report from Newsbusters (via Drudge) on the Chevy Volt and the MFM who hide it from view. 


Morons this is a must read.  If Congress and Romney donÂ’t cut this boondoggle off at the nub when they get in office then we need a new Party.

http://is.gd/PyoE9t

13 We have often talked about how cash strapped cities first cut (or threaten to cut) police and fire when the public opposes yet another tax increase for bloated government. Lets add another to the mix, trash pickup.  San Bernadino is now on the list of CA cities about to go down the tubes.  Do any of them talk about cutting back on socialism or renegotiating crippling union contracts? Hahahahaha

14 Well we had crazy otter attacking swimmer in MN lake, here is crazy beaver attacking two young girls in VA lake.  What the hell is going on?  This time the beaver was shot to be tested but no word yet as to whether or not it was rabid.

15 No The Hill is not biased:

Democrats battled accusations from Republicans on Tuesday that they are endangering the economy by threatening to end the Bush-era tax rates on the wealthy.


They word the headline like it is a hit at the Dems and them come up with that crap.  I am considering dropping The Hill from my list of news sources for the morning.  They are just as bad as Politico and the NYT.

16 U-Tube pulled that Romney ad even though it only had an 8 second sound bite of the offending song, and that was done by Obama!  No, no bias there either.

18 Federal Judge orders NYCFD to implement racial quotas and pay $129 million in back-pay because of “exams”.  This was done under the stupid “disparate impact” theory that is being used all over the country to reinstitution legal discrimination and other fraud on the public.  Congress needs to fix this bull shit that is “court legislated” to begin with.  It assumes automatically that if minorities fail the test it is because the test is unfairly or illegally discriminatory.


Yes, the test IS designed to be discriminatory.  It is designed to filter out dumb asses and incompetents that can not be trained. But it is not designed to filter out blacks and other minorities.

19 LOL, we talked about food price inflation yesterday. From BB here are the governmentÂ’s own numbers.  But like all the governments numbers they are insidiously low.  I also posted a finding I have noticed when entering calories for TV diners in my tracker.   The calories and protein count on a lot of them have gone down while the weight remains the same.  The main meat dish size has gone down and the mashed potatoes and other carb stuff have gone up.

http://is.gd/uYkRak

20 The State (Dem PR Rag) is reporting that DeMint, believing in term limits, is not building a war chest for the 2016 elections and he still does not plan to run again. Meanwhile asshole Lindsay Graham is raising money for 2014 where he expects a hard primary battle.  Conservatives do believe in term limits, but IÂ’ll be damned if they aught to unilaterally implement them on themselves while leaving liberal douchbags to run forever.  

GRAHAM FOR VP NOMINATION!

Now back to finish my search.

Other then the word "penis" being used, I think it's SFW.

And I think another Moron brought this up many moons ago.

31 #24  I suppose since Romney made comments about his concern for farmers and ranchers Obama has finally noticed the drought.

One would think that he would have noticed the parched fields on one of his numerous campaign stops,  but no.

Villsack probably had to put in a call on the bat-phone to Jarrett in order to get an audience.  Probably alerted her to the drastic choom shortage on the horizon due to lack of rain.

FBI also investigating "Partners for Progress" a dem PAC in NJ for being the go to place for donations for pay to play, to the Trenton mayor and other dem NJ pols.  I am sure Holder will be super interested in pursuing this.  Not.

Thanks for the news, Vic.  If I had a hat, I'd take it off to you.  I don't know how you can round up all this stuff every day without having a stroke.  I truly, truly HATE the SCOAMF and every one of his "bipartisan" enablers.

 

Today is the birthday of Lupe Velez, an actress known in her lifetime as "The Mexican Spitfire" - after a series of RKO comedies with Leon Errol - but now known for the disgusting Hollywood Babylon story that she drowned in her toilet.  The story's not true; it began through mixed reports about her being found in her bathroom by her maid.  She committed suicide ostensibly because of the shame of being pregnant and unmarried, but there are suggestions that she suffered from bipolar disorder and that it finally caught up with her.

 

TCM occasionally shows a "Mexican Spitfire" movie, which are wonderful fun to watch.  Go to their website and type in "Mexican Spitfire" and you'll be able to see a trailer from her first, 1940's Mexican Spitfire.

 

And that's it for me.  Your Hollywood Anecdotist got hammered last night, so there's a bit of discord in the Poppins household today.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

34 Ah, the summer of 64. Morning, rons.

35 I had to laugh when Gabe said no news and I knew Vic would chime in with a dozen stories.

36 That's it for now folks on the news.  Now on to responses:

So sorry Miss Marple.  Back during the last drought here they raised the price of water (County) and added a new tier of pricing for punishing people who used over a certain number of gallons (because of the drought you know).


Well the drought went away but those new high prices and punishment tiers didn't.  I quit watering my grass.  I can't afford $200 water bills in the summer.


But this year it appears that we are getting your rain.

42 Mrs. Sailor was a little upset yesterday. It seems one of her employees came in her office totally stressed because her formally easy to employ husband cannot find a job. This is happening a lot. Why is this worth writing about? Unemployment is beginning to hit those it had never hit before. Those that are uber talented at the top of their game are getting cut and they don't understand why. They are not handling it well. Lots of people are popping solexa, prozac, zoloft, etc like pez. The country has been in worse shape but this and the two previous generations have never felt it. Many of our grand parents went through the great depression, they preached saving and living within your means. Now it seems that tragedy is defined as having to stop the daily visit to starbucks. Whats your point OSP? We needed this. We needed the wake up call. It's going to get so much worse. If we survive it we are going to be a much better country because of it. If we don't win, look forward to combat in the streets. If we do win, look forward to combat in the streets. It's painful to pay the piper, especially for a society that doesn't know what pain is.

50 Besides the financial blow to the farmers here (and higher food prices as we discussed yesterday) it is just damn depressing.

Indiana is normally a green state.  Lawns are dead (not dormant as many people believe mistakenly) and landscape plants are dying.  I was over at the mall and saw a whole line of brown shrubs in straw-colored grass,  all deader than a doornail.    I have pie plates of water out for small animals,  who are increasingly being hit on roads while they search for water.

It is worse than a long winter.   We got about 10 minutes of rain last night through a shower but it was really nothing,  and I doubt it even penetrated the baked clay ground.

Actually it was racism.  the Democratic Party in SC currently consists of white people who grew up in the FDR days (commonly called yellow dog Democrats) and blacks.


The blacks, who out number those octogenarians, all voted for the black candidate in the primary.  Since there are about 40% blacks in the counties here good old Alvin took the primary.

And I am sure they knew it wasn't Al Green the singer.

The League of Fair-Minded Moderate Conservative Bloggers (Ed "Poppin' Fresh" Morrissey, president) has decreed that any criticism or questioning of Bark Obama's birth certificate is racist, "bad optics" and Just Not Fair to President Historic First©.

That apparently applies to college transcripts, passport records (how did the Choomer-in-Chief get to make vacay in Pakistan when Americans weren't allowed in?) and all the other sealed documentary evidence of Obama's brilliant career.

In fairness, however, Mutt Romney MUST release all his tax records and provide proof that he hasn't committed a felony because, well, that's simple propriety. We wouldn't want the Democrats to think we have anything to hide, would we?

Arpaio may me crazy as a friggin' loon, I don't know. But it's also damn possible he is actually doing the work that the eunuchs in the so-called conservative media won't do.

DETROIT: Plan to Raze Detroit Empty Homes in Final Stages in a bid to make the city safer. Bing's pledge three years ago to demolish 10,000 derelict buildings by the end of his term in late 2013 (4500 already gone) using demolition as a way to address blight. The Michigan Governor is working on a state plan for better city lighting and safe routes to school, incorporating state police with local police towards safe schools the hub of the community. The demolished real estate is selected for community gardens and "public projects" meaning private sector non-profit neighborhood organizations [emphasis "non-profit" being tax funded via grants].

[Our US tax dollars at work in Detroit and Michigan demolition projects.] The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is compiling a geo-mapping and coding effort to detail information on the structures to help guide decisions on which buildings will be demolished and provide a better estimate of the costs involved; the governor is exploring multiple funding options.

[Does the open real estate amount to a near-free land grab for the well intended? So what?] Among the state agencies involved are the Department of Treasury, the Michigan Land Bank, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, the Department of Human Services and the Michigan State Police. Also involved are the Detroit mayor's office, Detroit Public Schools and a variety of private sector, nonprofit and neighborhood organizations.

Reuters, July 17

Good luck, Governor, running "Imported From Detroit" demolition using federally accrued tax funds. No doubt the work needs doing. But given the Michigan unemployed getting tax subsidies and food stamps, put them to work for their own neighborhood clean-up to follow through with gardening and new construction for those government designated "public works". Obama's days are numbered, as are our own. There's no "free" blood from turnips. Ask Mitt's opinion.

Yo.

 

I learned something about maps this week.

 

We had to get from point A to point B, in an area I didn't know too well.

 

Looked at the map, saw I could turn left on a certain street and it would all be easy.

 

Except we never found the street and therefore could not turn. I'd looked at Bing maps and on the map app on my phone.

 

Neither one indicates in any way that one street is an overpass, which makes it slightly challenging to turn onto it.

 

Google maps does show, if you zoom in closely enough, a sort of line that goes through the intersection, whereas other intersections are open squares. Neither Bing nor the app showed a darn thing.

 

Twas a good lesson for teh short people about how you need to know the area, not just rely on a map or GPS.

114 I still remember when a co-worker's husband was up for Captain in the St. Louis Fire Dept. He was something like middle thirties on the list while those in the Black Fire Fighters Union were in the one hundred thirties. Damn racist exam! Anyhoo, I worked on the employee benefits of both firefighter unions and had to hear constantly from the black union's broker about how racist it was that their benefits cost more. As if the dumbass broker didn't know what a risk pool is. Separate but unequal because of racism.

We already saw how that worked out in Los Angeles. King Drew Hospital was created in the aftermath of the Watts Riots in a strange reconciliation bid. It had a hiring policy that placed melanin levels above competence. It doesn't take many bad doctors and nurses on an otherwise good staff to make the results awful.

This place was notorious for years as a place that ambulances arrived at with unconcious patients because anyone awake enough would beg and bribe to be taken elsewhere. The place was finally shut down except for a small portion doing urgent care and walk-in clinic work.

117 I see Penn St. (home of the Nittanys Lyin') is preparing their response to the NCAA and should be delivering it within a few days. They should probably just shut down their football team for awhile as a self-sanction, do it on their terms but recognize the harm that's occurred. It's probably going to happen involuntarily if they don't; what greater evidence of a "loss of institutional control" could there be than the findings of the Freeh report? The Paterno family should be glad Joe has passed, as he would otherwise be going off to prison along with Sandusky.

Not only that, but they will decide racial quotas per specialty; meaning a female Asian American who has brilliant scores in Med School and Clinicals might decide that all she wants to do in life is cardiology so she schedules residency interviews at 10 hospitals. Unfortunately each program director sends a letter saying, "Very sorry, we were looking forward to considering you as resident, however under code dash dash subset glop we are required to only offer positions to African Americans, Latinos and Inuits."

"59-year-old man is out of hospital after spending a month in intensive care due to infection from the bubonic plague.

Paul Gaylord, 59, developed the symptoms after he was bitten by a stray cat his family had adopted.

The cat, named Charlie, had caught a rodent which was stuck in his throat. It is thought that the rat was infected by fleas, which carry the disease. 
Initially, Mr Gaylord thought he had the flu when he developed a fever after the bite.  After antibiotics failed to make him feel better, he was rushed to hospital when his lymph nodes swelled to the size of lemons.

There is a series of state atlases that do the same thing -- I forget who publishes them. The maps themselves are very detailed and accurate and show topography like USGS topo quads. The trick to reading them is figuring out what kind of roads are being shown. Streets don't generally intersect with highways.

149 (ABC)- The Obama campaign is going retro, circa 2004. Back then, President Bush supporters attacked then-Democratic candidate John Kerry on what was supposed to be Kerry's greatest strength -- his military service. A group known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth undermined that strength, calling into question Kerry's credentials and military awards. And thus was born "swiftboating" -- a term used to describe unfair or untrue political attacks.

And they've succeeded. Romney has been unable to effectively respond to the attacks.

Well, if they think Romney bundler list is so interesting, how about they explain some of the names that were on the list of contributors through the Obama web site in 2008? You know, with the normal default verification turned off on the credit card processing? I recall one 'person' by the name of Doodad Pro.

Don't think the MSM ever gave that any attention. Perhaps it's time they were forced to by making it part of an attack ad.

214 What about his full medical records? To my knowledge he hasn't even released those.

Do Presidents (or candidates) normally do that?  I vaguely remember McCain doing so (because he's old and stuff, and wanted to prove that he wasn't about to shuffle off this Mortal Coil), but I can't think of any other who have released their "full medical records."

Turning off the CC Verification is good, his Transcripts (again: I don't recall any previous president releasing their applications), but also things like the Fast and Furious documents (covering for Holder).

President Barack Obama, speaking to supporters Monday in Cincinnati said, "if you work hard, then you can get ahead; if you're responsible, then you can live out your dreams. You're not confined to the circumstances of your birth." But a new poll commissioned by The Hill publication found that 47 percent of likely voters believe becoming wealthy in their lifetime is impossible, and 37 percent of those surveyed say they will never become rich. Of the 1,000 voters polled, 40 percent regard "wealthy" as earning at least $500,000 a year. Meanwhile, 31 percent attribute wealth to an annual income of $250,000 a year, and 20 percent say wealth constitutes at least $1 million in salary a year.

Americans' personal wealth has decreased in the past few years after the housing and stock market crashes. Wage growth has been stagnant, and millions of unemployed Americans are forced to take part-time or lower-paying jobs to make ends meet. The growing disparity between the wealthy and the poor in the U.S. sparked the Occupy Wall Street protests last year and has become a central focus in the November elections. President Obama said he supports raising taxes on the richest Americans and has been campaigning on a platform to level the playing field between the "1 percent" and the majority of Americans.

Out of one side of his mouth he talks lies about working to get ahead and succeed and out of the other he bashes anyone who does. It's time to break out the misery index again

(ABC) - Four dozen people have been charged in one of the largest drug-diversion schemes ever, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday. The alleged Medicaid fraud is estimated to have cost taxpayers a half-billion dollars.

"The defendants worked a fraud on Medicaid, a fraud on pharmaceutical companies, a fraud on legitimate pharmacies, a fraud on patients who unwittingly bought second-hand drugs and ultimately a fraud on the entire health care system," said Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama was the first presidential candidate to raise more than $100 million in a month and in 2008 was the first to forgo public money for his campaign. Now, he faces the very real threat of being the first president to be outspent by a challenger.

Obama, who four years ago broke just about every fundraising record for a presidential hopeful, has now been forced to look his supporters in the eye and confess he might not keep pace with Republican Mitt Romney. It's a sobering realization for his campaign, which had imagined an unlimited budget for ads, offices and mail.

I was reading "Texas Darlin'" at the time, and I believe you've misstated what happened.  There was a fellow doing an analysis of Obama's COLB who claimed to be a document expert. (I think he called himself "Techdude" or some such. I think his real name is "Ron Polarik") He pointed out a lot of things about the document, and people were following his analysis with interest when he announced that he thinks he knows who's document Obama's COLB was fabricated from.

He then goes on to announce that Obama's COLB was a manipulated copy of his sister Maya's Hawaiian birth certificate.  The problem with this announcement was that his sister Maya was born in Indonesia, and had an Indonesian birth certificate.  Once this was pointed out, he was no longer regarded as having any credibility whatsoever, and soon became a huge embarrassment to the website.


I'm starting to think this is something that will turn into the next multi-generational unsolved conspiracy to ever rival the JFK assassination.


There are plenty of people who are multiplying the complexity of the entire issue, and who are actively trying to turn it into a massive "JFK" like conspiracy, but there are also people who are weighing the facts and who are not buying the kooky theories that other people are floating.

Granted, I have recycled many, many beers since 2008, but I thought that "TechDude" admitted to TXDarlin' that he was knowingly  hoaxing her, and knowingly manufactured the various file comparisons to make them look like the name had been digitally erased and changed from Maya to Barry.

 

TXDarlin' shut down afterwards in shame, exhaustion, and bewilderment.  So  I never really got much follow-up to the story.  Was TechDude not part of the problem?

297 I think this President, who I assume was born here, nonetheless has made himself a "composite" history and hides a lot of shit because he does not want to reveal who he really is or what he really believes.  But when he has his second term, he will have more "flexability".  I don't think he is incompetent.  He intends the consequences of everything he is doing.

I'm personally not concerned about whether moderates care about it or not. I am also not terribly concerned that it will have any impact on Obama. What is of paramount importance to me is why so many people on our side decided to join the Democrats in spiking this issue.

Some Conservatives/Republicans went out of their way to kill any discussion of this issue, even to the point of ignoring obvious holes in the official narrative. I want to know why they did it, and if they will do such a thing again. 

What I have learned from this issue, is that people whom we thought to be allies were just as willing to viciously attack us and cover for Obama as were our enemies, despite whatever facts were subsequently uncovered.  Apparently the principles embodied in our laws are more flexible to these people, and it is a good thing of which to be aware prior to dealing with them.

It is my understanding that "TechDude" WAS the problem.  I don't recall reading anything which indicated he TOLD her he was hoaxing her, but the conclusion that he WAS hoaxing her was widely expressed by commentators.

She also had contributors from a blog called Israeli Insider. They lent support until he came out with the "Maya" thing. Then they denounced the whole sorry mess.

DL - OK.  You and I are on the same page, then.  I thought he'd confessed, but I wouldn't put  money on it.  Confession or not doesn't matter anymore, I guess.

 

I was hoping that the event would have led to TXDarlin'  converting.  Haven't bothered to look and see if she ever fired up the blog or started cobbing somewhere else, though.

Yeah.  But they gotta pay.

drudge has some sense of humor, didn't copy and paste his original headline and was sorry, so got this one right away....
