1 Good Morning Morons.  Today is Wednesday, May 08, 2013.  On this day in  1886  John Pemberton sold the first "Coca-Cola" as a patent medicine.

2 The big news of the morning.  As I predicted; Sanford won handily yesterday in the SC first district race.  All the moaners about giving a seat to the Democrats were wrong.  I predicted that he would win by at least 3 points after PPP gave him a narrow lead.  In actuality it was a blowout. 54 to 45%.

And this is the headline/link at the Columbia Democrat PR rag.

Despite scandal, Ex-SC Gov. Sanford back in office

3 And they say Fox is a conservative Republican news channel.  Look at the Benghazi lead in:

[I[Republican lawmakers [u]hounding the Obama administration for months over unanswered questions on the Benghazi attack will have their moment, on Wednesday, to demonstrate whether the internal response amounted to a cover-up -- as whistle-blowers give long-awaited testimony expected to challenge the White House's version of events.


Republicans “hounded” the poor Dems.  So was it a cover-up?  No, it was blatant mismanagement by both Hillary and Obama after which Hillary lied to Congress and committed perjury.  If this were a Republican admin the press would be calling for Hillary to be fired and prosecuted and Obama impeached.

And the Dems response?  This is old news.  And Hillary should be fired and prosecuted.  But she wonÂ’t, she is a Democrat and will be the next runner for President for their Party.  This will wash off her back like water off a goose.

Of some interest as we merry Rochambeau each other over amnesty in the coming weeks, USC has released "Undocumented Californians, Immigration Reform,and Our Future Together".

I'd question their estimate for California: 2.6 million for the entire state? 2.6 million between the 101 and the 118 maybe. But it can serve as a starting point as we start tossing numbers at each other.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Thanks for the morning briefing, Gabe and Vic.  The weather was finally warm enough for me to saddle up the Harley and ride in this morning, so knowing I can ride this afternoon should be enough to keep my emotions on a fairly even keel today.  I can have a heart attack about the Benghazi hearings tomorrow.  I hope.  Anyway. . .

 

 

I know I mentioned that silent screen heartthrob Rudolph Valentino – who was a typical Italian, very touchy about slights to his masculinity – once sparred with Jack Dempsey.  The prizefighter was impressed with the Latin Lover, declaring that Valentino “packed a he-man punch.”

 

 

But Frank “Buck” OÂ’Neil, the boxing writer for the New York Evening Journal didnÂ’t believe it, thinking Dempsey was just taking part in a publicity stunt.  So he telephoned George Ullman, ValentinoÂ’s press agent.  “I donÂ’t believe Valentino can really fight,” OÂ’Neil said, “and IÂ’d like to take him on in a friendly bout to prove it.  If Valentino is willing to meet me,” OÂ’Neil finished slyly, “IÂ’ll guarantee not to hurt him.”

 

 

When Valentino heard about the challenge, he accepted.  The two men met on the roof garden of New YorkÂ’s Ambassador Hotel, sparred lightly for a while, then retired to their corners.  When they came out, both of them exchanged a few quick, sharp blows to the chin, then OÂ’Neil aimed a roundhouse right at ValentinoÂ’s jaw.  The actor ducked the blow, then landed a solid punch to the side of OÂ’NeilÂ’s head, sending the writer sprawling on the floor.

 

 

Valentino helped OÂ’Neil up and the two of them sparred for two more rounds before calling it quits.  “I was wrong about you, Rudy,” OÂ’Neil admitted afterward as the two shared drinks.  “That punch of yours that knocked me down felt like a mule had kicked me.  The next time Jack Dempsey tells me something, IÂ’m going to believe him!”

 

 

Valentino was pleased.  But the pleasure would be short-lived.  He had been suffering abdominal pains for some time, but had refused to see a doctor.  Despite increasing agony, he insisted on traveling to Atlantic City for a personal appearance connected with his last movie, The Son of the Sheik.  Not long after, his appendix burst.  In those pre-antibiotic days, that was a death sentence.

 

 

Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina DÂ’Antonguolla died on August 23, 1926.  He was thirty-one years old.

 

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I saw that as more of a Sanford hate thread from a lot of the posters.  As for the spic comments I am not sure if that is considered racist or not since Hispanic is not a race. 

Ace generally has zero tolerance for racist comments so if he considers it racist and gets word of it whoever put it there will be gone post haste.

47 Lauryn Hill, sentenced to jail Monday in New Jersey for evading federal taxes, likened having to pay taxes to slavery. "I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of. ... I'm a child of former slaves," Hill said. "I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me. "I sold 50 million units ... now I'm up here paying a tax debt. If that's not likened to slavery, I don't know what is."

Hats off to Sanford pity they both couldn't have lost as such I'm happy the mule lost.

*strong forearms on the Iowa guy*

49 Well I'm sure the media will go with wall-to-wall coverage and analysis of the Benghazi hearings today, just like they did with the Waterfate hearings back in the ''70s.  Even more so- after all, nobody died at Watergate.  So they'll be all over this story like a cheap suit and they'll follow it wherever it leads- right up to the President himself if that's where it goes.  After all I'm sure the media is just chock-full of anxious young reporters just chomping on the bit to be this century's Woodward and Bernstein.

From Wiki:

Lauryn Hill was born in South Orange New Jersey, the second of two children of high school English teacher Valerie Hill and computer programmer Mal Hill.

56 Based on what I read, the left is trying really hard to make enforcement a lie. They will not give us enforcement. Most of the public wants enforcement, and most also would go along with amnesty, but only if there is a secure border. Also most are against amnesty without a secure border. So securing the border seems to be a no-brainer. That is, unless the Left really wants to keep the border open so we can have another 20M dem voters next decade to amnesty. This is a fraud and it must be stopped.

103 Vic, the DC government didn't get that memo. They put up so many obstacles to gun ownership ( Emily Miller of the Washington Times did a whole series on it) that its still an issue. Plus carry, open or otherwise, is still banned.

You will note than none of the local papers or the MFM has said anything about it.  The same goes for a comment she made in a speech last week in which she announced support of unions.

Just heard on the radio that some Libertarian radio talk show host (Kokesh? sp) is trying to organize an armed march on DC from VA with the aim of getting arrested so as to challenge DC gun laws.

Miss Marple, most computers now have some kind of internal sound device with a mini-output jack on the back or the front.  It is normally a green colored jack.  If it is a case of not having a small pair of speakers to plug in there you can still plug in a set of headphones and get sound.

118 The overtime flex bill is a joke. They talk about how it has worked out so great for gubmint workers, not realizing that most gubmint payrolls have, maybe, 2 to 3 times the amount of employees needed anyway. Most private companies now days are running very lean in the employee department. If the person were to opt for comp time, who's to say when they can take it. On my job as a salaried employee you could get comp time, but you had to ask permission to use it just like vacation time. So sure, you got 10 days coming to you, but you could only take 3 at a time...in January.

And of course when others took there comp time, guess who got to cover for them?

130 I don't know anything about Stephen Colbert's sister. I do know that Stephen Colbert is a smug, arrogant, condescending,fuckwad. Which might have contributed to the turnout against her.

131 I wonder if Sanford was on testosterone therapy. I found out a couple of months ago that somebody I used to know threw his whole life in the toilet and blames testosterone therapy for it. According to him, it turned him into a middle-school horndog with no impulse control but with the resources of a fairly well-off guy in his mid-forties. Heh. They ought to name that shit for the Kennedys.

132 And of course when others took there comp time, guess who got to cover for them?

Posted by: Bruce at May 08, 2013 07:51 AM (lWMBo)

We never got comp time (exempt) or overtime.  I checked on this in the actual labor law.  There is no such ting as "comp time".  What it is is a "salaried employee" is paid by the month for a job.  When a company breaks that down to weekly paychecks he is getting the equivalent of 40 hours pay no matter what hours he works.

So if you work 50 hours you get 40 hours pay, if you work 30 hours you get 50 hours pay.  I actually saw this proven on one occasion.  An exempt employee (engineer) was give a week off without pay for sleeping on the job.  He filed a complaint.  The lawyers came down from the home office and told the bosses "no can do" he is Act-II exempt.  They said you can do nothing or you can fire him but you can't cut pay.

But he could not resist screwing up again and he was fired the next time.

133
it was a special election. A new election will start next year so things can change soon.
Posted by: Vic




Sanford may have already effectively declared he's running in 2014.  Says he'll term limit himself to 12 years, but whether he's including his previous terms or restarting the clock, who knows. He's broken that promise repeatedly already.

So, he'll have to be winkled out.  Which was one of the arguments for hoping C-B won, because she would be neutered in this Congress and bounced in the next election.

Oh well....

Yep.

 

 

Between his mischaracterizing the Schumer-Toomey-Manchin bill and now his agitating for amnesty, I'm trying to understand what exactly is "conservative" about him. 

 

As for Rubio, he got fooled.  More frustrating is that I think he realizes it but he can't admit it.

169 Anybody else have a problem with the State Department calling the shots on military operations in the first place?

170 I am against Rubio's bill because it is just another case of trying to stop a sucking chest wound with a bandaid.  Illegal aliens are everywhere in this country and they boldly take public resources to which they are not entitled.  Their very first act in crossing the border is a felony.  Then they just keep piling it on and on and on-bankrupting cities, towns, and states.  Why is this OK with anybody?  Oh yeah, because they have demonstrated that they vote for the Free Shit Administrators en masse.

171 Some sportscaster had a sex change, it didn't work out, and then he committed suicide. It wasn't that long ago but I don't remember his name. They tried to hide the sordid details.

172 Cruz 3: To provide that no person who has previously been will fully present in the United States while not in lawful status shall be eligible for United States citizenship. (In addition to making all illegal aliens granted amnesty ineligible to naturalize, this would make citizenship unattainable for many individuals who are granted asylum and all individuals who are granted cancellation of removal for nonpermanent residents). This one is smart. Kind of along the lines I was thinking. Let them stay, but don't let them become citizens. ------------------------------ Sessions 34: To clarify that this Act does not preempt any State or local criminal law. (This would undo the Supreme Court's decision preempting Arizona's -- and likely other states' -- immigration enforcement laws.) Not gonna happen ---------------------------- Hatch 3: To collect a DNA sample from each adult alien applying for registered provisional immigrant status for comparison against the Combined DNA Index System of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I can hear the screams of civil libertarians everywhere ------------------------------------------------- Grassley 3: To require border security measures along the Northern border of the United States. (Grassley has a couple amendments to spend on border security along both borders.) Good idea. ------------------------------- Graham 1: To provide for termination of asylum or refugee status in cases of country return. (With an exception for "good cause." Likely a reaction to the Tsarnaevs.) Don't know? ------------------------------------ Lee 7: To modify the physical presence requirement for application for registered provisional immigrant status. (He backs it up to December 31, 2009, instead of December 31, 2011.) Good but will be really hard to enforce these dates.

Why do people like Roger Stone, Karl Rove,  Steve Schmidt and others have such influence?  They collect cash no matter who is in office,  and mainly push bad policy because they are too concerned with how the Beltway views them.

If Rubio was so smart, he would have acted more like Ted Cruz,  who is not necessarily my choice but at least represents the people of his state and has shown some courage.  Same with Rand Paul.

Defending the tax code isn't quite the same as agreeing with it.  I think the tax code is a monstrosity and I want it reduced to a one page flyer:  if you have $x in net income, you pay y%. 

 

But I can also recognize that the income tax is authorized by the general taxing power granted to the Congress by the Constitution, even absent the 16th Amendment.  In other words, a 16A repeal wouldn't eliminate the income tax but would instead create an apportionment requirement on income earned from property (rents, dividends, etc).

 

There's room for a political beef with what the income tax has become but that doesn't mean saying the tax itself is valid means one is anti-Liberty.

192 One of the problems facing the late Roman Empire were un-assimilated groups of barbarians living inside the borders of the Empire.  They owed no allegiance to Rome and hewed to their own ways, as opposed to earlier times when Rome would accept barbarians into the legions and after retirement the barbarian was a citizen.  Or the Roman youth lacking prospects would join the legions and once he retired as a citizen would settle down on the frontier, marry a local girl, and raise the next generation of Romans.

193 I guess Ed Anger isn't paying his taxes either, or is he just flappin' lips while some hack singer takes his 'principled' stand for him?

194 OK, I am confused. Granted I have a migraine and that does reduce cognition, but, which is it--open borders or border security? Posted by: Sherry McEvil, Stiletto Corsettes C'est Magnifique at May 08, 2013 08:21 AM (kXoT0) Ok open borders may be a misnomer. Free immigration? Assuming you go through border security checkpoints and aren't a felon/violent/smuggling drugs. They are *not* mutually exclusive.

195 Not sure which is better morally, but I'd rather have an out in front sinner in charge. Posted by: HoboJerky, now with 74% more DOOM! at May 08, 2013 08:20 AM (52n2x) Yeah, he was all over the, "My Savior Jesus Christ" thing. Religion, the last refuge of a scoundrel.

196 - "Sen. Grassley proposed the most amendments." I wonder if the perma-malcontent right on the Internet would be able to grasp the irony. In Internet circles Grassley is a "RINO," isn't he? Well, on the other hand, Grassley's lifetime ACU rating is 83. By contrast Tom Harkin's lifetime ACU rating is 8. 83 v. 8. Using the math of the DrewM demographic that's identical. Speaking of immigration, obviously this "Gang of 8" bill will get bogged down by the amendment process and as is would in any case be DOA in the House. But the altogether predictable gnashing of teeth and foaming at the mouth speaks volumes about where we're headed in '15-'16. The brutal reality is the next GOP national primary quickly will devolve into an abject farce that'll make the '08 and '12 primary seasons by comparison look tame. It's entirely possible de facto that Hillary will win the presidency by default.

198 I heard a figure yesterday, can't remeber where, but 40% of the illegals are people that overstayed their VISAs. Without a mechanism to round up those folks, the VISA program is crap. Posted by: Oldsailors Poet Palin/Bolton 2016 at May 08, 2013 08:21 AM (XIxXP) And personally, assuming they haven't been making trips to Yemen, I'm fine with them staying. It's common practice to overstay your visa as a grad student, because it's really expensive to fly back home each year to renew if you're from Iran/China/etc.

199 Ok, what the fuck is with the picture on Drudge, top of righthand column, where the couple is trying to blow each other's heads off? Does no one understand gun safety?

201 You do not need a fence, you do not need to deport anyone. All you have to do is make it impossible for illegal aliens to operate in this country. You do this by enforcing existing law to the fullest extent. No new law is required. It really is that simple.

Kinda. The tribes wanted full citizenship, the Romans wouldn't give them that but used them to fight their wars. The traditional reward for a foreign-born soldier was citizenship though so it was a legit bitch on the tribe's part.

218 Kreplach, there is a good reason to have a good fence on the southern border.

I agree this country should enforce fully the laws that are currently on the books.  This will cause those here illegally from Mexico to go home.  However once they go home, there goes a major cash flow that props Mexico up and ends the safety valve that the exodus gives Mexico's decrepit and corrupt system of government.

So when that government in Mexico finally falls apart because of the aforementioned, I prefer a defensible southern border.  Unless you truly relish bandits like Pancho Villa once again raiding across the Rio Grande like in 1916.  Oh wait, because we have no fence the southern states are already suffering this problem.  Along with murders.

So lets build that fence.

224 Laws for-against us never apply to-against authoritarians. Alabama bill to rescind prohibition of home brew is sponsored by R-Huntsville, and btw, does NOT include legal home brewing rights in dry counties. "As with all bills, we will conduct a thorough review once the bill reaches the governor's office," R-Bentley Press Secretary. Yes, it depends on the "Faith based" opposition. Hey, be grateful Gov. Bentley doesn't say it has to be signed in order to find out what's in it. Question 1: in general, are the specified "faith based" dry county bitter clinger yahoos also opposed to right to arms, or pro-Constitutional Bill of Rights? Only for the "pure" whose lips never touch wine? Question 2: tax issue, the State/Governor afraid of losing revenue from home brew v. the ease of tax collection in place on merchant sales? Btw, been there, done that personal irritation from Blue State prohibition of alcohol sales on Sunday. The weekly routine, go to Sunday morning church, grocery shopping en route home, waiting to check-out for that "magic" minute when the beer sales become legal. Then home to bbq and play croquet with the kids. Came to the point in life to just dry out, so don't have a dog in the fight... ... EXCEPT regarding the citizens' right to produce our own personal goods without a law mandating the purchase of said goods from a merchant. Precedence and political outcome: ye ol' Colonial British Tea and Stamp Taxation. Consider current/future legislation that could concern the home garden, or home cooking, or home made clothing, home produce and manufactured goods, banned in order to protect a special interest whether Unions or worst case global corporatist demands to monopolize all things, or more simply, politicians protecting government's "right of way" on avenues of taxable revenue, futurist worst case mandated dietary intake, etc. We've already entered the ObamaCare gas chamber; economic ruin and IRS confiscation/imprisonment being only one obvious catastrophic result. Now, a bureaucrat (whose loyalty is to corporatist interest) has the "authority" to dictate what drugs will be administered to your body, like it or not, willingly or not, according to the government's time table. The current trend to dictate certainly divides Americans, each mindset convinced with their own "moral" authority to force their dogma on the other. Funny sob, "faith based" being the common grounds for Prohibition, Santorumism, Zionism, Islamism, and even the various 'religion' of peace sects [ex., Brady Bill sponsors] promoting or enforcing US ban on citizen property ownership and right to carry. That's my gripe. Whether or not someone makes their own beer or cider is not my business nor my concern. /However, I support the anti-drunk driving prosecution and extremely high fines and automatic imprisonment for those who cause roadway accidents that maim or kill. Seriously: vs. TX Travis County District Attorney hand picked by the ass that brought down The Hammer. This bitch not only broke the law by driving drunk, she also refused to cooperate with the law enforcement officers. The initial report stated that she refused a sobriety test; and refused a breath-o-lizer. The police did not enforce the law requiring her blood test at that point. Instead, a PR release followed along with her non-apology press conference in her home driveway (sorry my fat ass got caught on video) that admitted a certain alcohol blood content. There's likely a study that determined which level is still considered politically acceptable. Laws for-against us never apply to-against authoritarians. /pfft needs coffee

Here's the thing. It's never ever ever enforced. Ever. I've never heard of an actively enrolled grad student even being bugged about it. Flying back each year is fairly expensive. Especially on a student stipend. If they could just renew in country they would, because that allows them to go to conferences in other countries and return. I'm just stating the facts.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney criticized the Obama administration on Tuesday for its handling of the September 11, 2012 terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, calling it 'a failure of leadership.' Cheney said U.S. leaders should have been better prepared for violence on the anniversary of the al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001.

'They should have been ready before anything ever happened,' Cheney told MailOnline exclusively during a party in Georgetown celebrating the launch of a new book by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

'I mean, it's North Africa - Libya, where they've already had major problems,' Cheney said. 'You know that al-Qaeda is operating there, and you have some of the other al-Qaeda-affiliated groups there like Ansar al-Sharia and others.

256 Cruz 3: I don't see why that criticism would necessarily be the case. One thing about Cruz, he knows how to cut through the mire to reach the legal point. There are, and always have been, LEGAL MEANS TO US CITIZENSHIP. Really, how does "unattainable" citizenship apply to individuals who legally entered via official asylum status, stating officially prior to entry the intention to seek/earn US citizenship. Were a person to illegally enter the US, and then conveniently apply for asylum status, failing to reveal the initial intention to eventually earn US citizenship, then that remains that individual's personal point of reference. And if a person wants to enter the US as a non-permanent resident, that's the person's own point of reference. Citizenship should not be the end result of a legal TEMPORARY visitor.

257

'I think what dominated the way they were thinking about this thing is - they wanted to be able to say, "We got bin Laden. Problem solved",' Cheney told MailOnline.

'

And it was shortly before the election, and you know: a big crisis with al-Qaeda attacking embassies? They were hoping that they could avoid that. It was a bit of a reach.'

 

He added that the Bush administration would have handled things differently, even if they had been caught unprepared.

 

'I've heard senior officials in the Obama administration say, "well, we didn't know what we'd be sending them into, so we didn't send 'em." Hogwash!' Cheney exclaimed. 'Those guys train for that. They're damned good at it.'

 

He also called the House Republicans' interim report, issued last month, 'a terrible indictment of how fouled up we were.'

Needless to say, the "kinder, gentler" Navy prevailed and they were allowed to communicate in "their language".

280 268 And you are thinking of a simple chain link fence I fear kreplach.

The trick to defeating all but Mathias Rust is to build two fences. About 100 to 200ft between them. First one can be chain link and concertina to deter the impulse illegal. Second interior one is of concrete. About 15ft tall, foundations extending 15ft down into the earth, and thickness of the reinforced concrete 4ft or more. Wire the no-mans land with sensors. About halfway between the fences and buried about 12 ft down a submerged moat filled with pea gravel.

287 263 You're discussing illegal aliens. Yes, they are not here legally and as such, have no legal right to apply to become US citizens. Yes, in order to apply, leave and do so according to current law. And in agreement with me, you confirm that the legal process to become a US Citizen has always existed since our Independence, and yet exists without any further ado for "comprehensive legislative reform." The only thing accomplished via further legislation, imo, is more laws for which enforcement cherry picks according to political corruption. Comprehensive Reform Packages are caskets in which US citizens will be legally buried, dead or alive. Until the Executive Branch enforces the current law, it is unreasonable to allow legislative reform during an era of trickle down lawlessness. Why give outlaws (regardless of political position) more authoritarian abuses of power? No-brainer. When politicians insist that their cherry-picked Bill/Law supersedes the Supreme Law of the Land, "Houston, We Have A Problem."

301 A Constitutional Law Lesson for Steve Benen On Monday, the Texas House of Representatives passed a bill that would bar state officials from enforcing any new federal gun laws.  Via Kevin Drum, I see that the MaddowBlog¡¯s Steve Benen calls the bill ¡°crazy.¡± "This is, of course, crazy. Whether Texas likes it or not, states can¡¯t pick and choose which federal laws they¡¯ll honor and which they¡¯ll ignore." http://tinyurl.com/cn8v92a Um, it is EXACTLY like what Kali & Colorado did with pot. Methinks Benen's gun bias is showing.

302 Ok I learned what really goes on with student visas: It's different. You have an F1 visa, which is only for entry. This expires annually for some students. Then you have an i20, which says how long you can stay, and this is conditional on enrollment in school. You overstay this and you break the law. So I guess grad students aren't breaking the law!

303 Kinley Ardal, yes it would be a lot of concrete.  But it would definitely improve national security in a concrete way.

Some areas of the south it would be impossible to build such, where the mountains get rugged, but that would be a design plus.  Would channelize the attempted inflow to known ingress points that would deter the faint of heart.  Thus can better manage Border Patrol resources.

Another thing that would have to happen would be to expand the border crossing inspection stations.  Plus fortify them more and allocate some of the agents who are no longer required to patrol remote stretches to those border crossings.

326 As a legal immigrant, I continue to be enraged by the whole amnesty thing. My entire family would like to be here and those who live back home have had ample opportunity to overstay visas but no one ever did. I remember having to take an extra class I didn't need during my last semester in college so I could remain in status. (You needed 12 credits to stay in status but I only needed 9 more to graduate.) When my dad was ill and they couldn't travel back home when they originally intended, you should have seen how nervous my parents were. They applied for an extension with immigration services when I'm sure that they could have gotten away without doing so. There are several other examples of how the chique family has done all they can to obey US law. This whole bill is a huge insult. Notice how they don't discuss people who are legally here, only lawbreakers.

Border for sure.  I am deeply sympathetic to the people fleeing a third world hellhole, but the bloody fact is that they are being used by the powers that be in both America and Mexico to continue the very processes that are making them flee. 

Nothing gets fixed with the status quo.  I feel terrible for the folks who only want to start a new life here, skilled or unskilled (it doesn't matter to me), but things cannot continue as they are.  Borders must be enforced, immigration must be normalized, and if we're going to call it a "War" on drugs, I would greatly appreciate some actual firepower being brought to bear on the kingpins.  >_> Not quite a non sequitur there - I believe the only way to save Mexico is to utterly destroy the cartels.  

But ass McCain would say, Build the Dang Fence™.

334 I still say Rubio is one of an increasingly long list of GOP politicians who make suddenly inexplicable moves which make me suspicious of blackmail and/or threats. Not hard to understand if you consider Rubio as a stalking horse for the Bushes. Rubio was a protege of Jeb Bush, and when he announced his bid for the Senate, the Bushes connected Rubio with their donors and money men. The Bushes are part of the Elite Political Gentry, and to them those who aren't part of the elite ... American citizens or illegal aliens ... are all peasants to be ruled over. American citizenship means nothing to them.

359 Simple way to solve future visa overstays is to:

1. Fingerprint/ID everyone entering.
2. Require anyone entering the country to post a bond.  Bond is provided by private companies that can set bond amount based on likelihood of not returning.  (Also require medical and liability insurance.  You go to jail or get sick, the taxpayer isn't paying for it.) 
3. Anyone not exiting at specified time is immediately posted for bounty with 75% of bond going towards anyone apprehending said fugitive.
4. If number of fugitives from a specific country reaches over certain number (say 1,000).  No more visas are issued until half that number are found and returned.

For the existing ones, I would just start placing bounties on them.

And yet the commies were able to master the technology of effective fence building along the border of East Germany 50 years ago.  Maybe there are some of them still around that we can hire as consultants.


I am not saying that a fence is the most effective border enforcement measure that can be taken, but it is something they can't lie about.  If they build a fence from Brownsville to San Ysidro, you can drive along its entire length on your vacation or you can fly along it from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific to confirm that it is there and that there are no gaps.  And while you may not make such a trip personally, there are people who will and they will put their pictures on the internet.

The tip-off to trouble was a March inspection of the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., which earned the equivalent of a "D'' grade when tested on its mastery of Minuteman III missile launch operations. In other areas, the officers tested much better, but the group's overall fitness was deemed so tenuous that senior officers at Minot decided, after probing further, that an immediate crackdown was called for. The Air Force publicly called the inspection a "success." But in April it quietly removed 17 officers at Minot from the highly sensitive duty of standing 24-hour watch over the Air Force's most powerful nuclear missiles, the intercontinental ballistic missiles that can strike targets across the globe. Inside each underground launch control capsule, two officers stand "alert" at all times, ready to launch an ICBM upon presidential order. obama rot. moral sucks

365 Ha ha!  Didn't Stephen Hawking make an appearance on one of the derivative Star Trek series?  I didn't see it, but here's to hoping an alien species kidnapped and violated him.

366 @349. Agreed. As I've said before, why do dems hate black people. Because the vast majority of black foreigners can't very well swim across the Atlantic to get here. And there's no way anyone will let you on a plane to the US without a valid visa. I don't mention GOP supporters above because we all know they are filthy racists no matter what they do. And I think I read before that a large proportion of illegals are Chinese. And there are quite a a number of non Hispanics. So why is it all Hispanic all the time? It just goes to show how disingenuous these people are.

367 I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of. ... I'm a child of former slaves," Hill said. Hey, that's MY line. Get off my lawn jockey, bitch!

368 Supposedly his work isn't nearly as impressive to other physicists as it is to the NY Times.

"Hawking radiation," his only thing, is a neat thing, and it might even be a thing, like an Einstein-level insight, but Hawking doesn't really believe in it. His reconciliations of it with information conservation are desperate. He's spent most of his career being all please, can my thing can be a thing? I promise it'll play nice. Which it can't, but he won't stand up for it. So basically, he's a pussy.

But true respect in academia comes, as it always has, from hating Jews, so maybe he can be a Great Physicist now.

Second link should do very nicely.  Short skirt, tall boots.  Freakin' bingo.  (*'-') RWC should be back up to snuff in no time flat. 

@367, aye, Hawking was playing poker with Einstein, Newton, and Data. 

The funny thing is, he didn't even deserve to be at the table with Data. >.>

375 Eh. Physics bores me.

376 @362 It comes down to where you want to spend your political capital and where you think resources will be most effectively utilized. I believe resources are better used enforcing existing law a strenuously as possible. Rather than arguing over a wall they will never build and that will be tied up in court by the various civil liberty and environmental groups that would surely result.

377 Speaking of lawns.  Need to go out and cut mine while it is still kinda dry.  More rain in the offering starting tomorrow.

See everyone later.

Yeah. If you have a gruesome baby killing factory, you didn't build that! Planned Parenthood and "Pro-Choice" policies made that happen.

Yep.  He's also appeared on The Big Bang Theory.  His appearance on The Next Generation was playing poker with Data and some other of histories great minds.   Supposedly when he was touring the set and went by the warp core he said "I'm working on that"

383 Some physicists have egos that the universe can barely contain. One who used to work for Case Western Reserve University, Lawrence Krauss, wrote a book on the physics of Star Trek which was an extremely good way to market himself. Unfortunately he used the acclaim he got from it to write op-eds all over the place, including the WSJ, where he'd regularly take shots at religion. The other physics profs at CWRU considered him a glory hound who wasn't really a serious thinker; I'm sure there was a mixture of jealousy and truth contained in that. Anyway, he moved to Arizona State, where I'm sure they enticed him with certain perqs which appealed to his boundless self regard. Posted by: Captain Hate at May 08, 2013 09:19 AM (kwR+3) Krouss is very anti-religious. He may be a fine physicist, but he sells his work to the crowd that wants to put religion in a corner. Well, put your religion in a corner. I'm not a fan of religion, but I think it should die a natural death and not be strangled by someone like Krouss.

384 "But aye, prefabs would be fastest. It isn't as though the walls would have to endure great onslaught, and prefabs would make it much easier to have multiple companies working on the wall all at once.

It's a simple and excellent idea, and therefore Congress shall never go for it. -_-"


Well, I suppose it depends on what congressional district the panels were being manufactured in.  I'll bet that politicians in Ohio or Wisconsin would be a lot more enthusiastic about a border fence if somebody in their district got a contract. 

The "L" shaped panels that the last version of the Berlin Wall used were essentially copied by the Israelis when they built their fence.  They might not stand up to a tank, but they will stop any civilian vehicle except maybe one of those giant trucks they use in open pit mines.

385

The left's  retort about Benghazi before the whistleblowers was always, ' we have answered all the questions, besides the Republicans are just mad because Obama killed Osama Bin Laden"

 

Now they don't say  the first part as much but they always throw in the 'killed Osama Bin Laden'  bit.  

 

What annoys me is that as much as they lied about the facts of Benghazi   is they lied just as much about the facts of Osama Bin Laden   and   the  public will  never know.   The air is so saturated with  Obama lies and fuckups that we are forced to choose our battles at the expense of the truth in other matters.  Same thing occured with the Clinton administration. 

386 286. Spic, Kyke, Cracker, Buddy-Boy, Whatever, bitch, faggot, blah blah yada yada. Gran Torino, 2008. Quit saying it to get a rise. Quit reacting like a punk. Two to tango v. two tangle: Grow.Up. Get over it. The sun will not rise or set on what some dick says. My dad, RIP, "Let it go like water off a duck's back". My mom, RIP, "Bite your tongue!" Take responsibility for yourself. Choices have consequences. Shakespeare: to thine own self be true. "Yankee Go Home" -- are our troops from New England supposed to take personal offense and respond to a provocation without orders of authorization? Don't play the sucker. Rise above the occasion. And teach your children to be mutually respectful of others. Know yourself, love yourself. Without feeding the bonfire of vanity, see the loser for what he/she is. Too dumb to get over choosing to stay stuck on stupid. Don't find/make yourself the sucker who falls for the bait, especially not even the bait to bait. As if elitists see themselves as bigots. The worst of humanity permeates everywhere. Excuse, reason, meritocracy? 'Deserve's got nothing to do with it.' So, when anger flashes, don't join in on the group think of mob mentality that inevitably takes things way too far. And if we must pray for our enemies, may we all get over "hate" crimes as the most inane morality of all "special" excesses. Citizenship? All be equal under the law. Rescind corruption. /Read My Lips: No New Laws.

395 OK now you can drop dead you invalid cock sucker Posted by: Nevergiveup at May 08, 2013 09:01 AM (jE38p) I have had little respect for Hawking for quite awhile. His claim to fame is "Hawking Radiation" which supposedly explains how black holes evaporate over time. How does this make him an expert in Diplomacy or Social conduct? Completely different disciplines, and ones which I think he has studied not nearly enough. He seems to be a lot like Megan McCain in this regard.
