— Gabriel Malor Happy Thursday.
Retiring IRS officer will testify today that top IRS officials in Washinton, D.C. oversaw the conservative targeting program.
Bill Maher was booed on CBS' Late Show for his "jokes" about the Zimmerman verdict.
A good read by Allah and Mary Katherine Ham about D.C. journos getting fussed that they were upstaged by a 16 year-old intern.
Australia's two major parties both want to repeal a carbon tax created just last year. Turns out, that shit's not great for your economy.

Yes, a harbinger of things to come that were already going on in the Obmanite criminal empire and we didnÂ’t know about it then. So what happened with all the Grassley hoopla and investigations into the FDA spying? The worst thing I could find this morning was that the employees sued. I could find no evidence of any congressional sanction, any criminal charges, nor even the outcome of the civil suit. This is why I donÂ’t think anything will come of all the crap we have going on now even though it is much worse than this FDA scandal.

Eric Holder, who gets more headlines than any other member of the presidentÂ’s Cabinet, and usually for the wrong things, confuses celebrity with credibility. He imagines celebrity makes him a credible champion of civil rights. HeÂ’s fond of citing a man whom he seems to regard as his equal as a civil rights pioneer.

It is important for conservatives to realize the far-reaching and grievous implications of yesterdayÂ’s events. It appears now that Reid need only threaten invoking a rules change via the nuclear option and he and the President, along with their liberal allies, will get everything they want.

I hope Terry Goodkind is keeping an eye out. The title on the SF book looks like it is damned close to plagiarism. I looked over the negative reviews and the plot is very similar to the Sword Of Truth series. The author responded to the negative reviews about lack of depth saying that it was supposed to be targeted to a youth audience but Amazon removed the tags.

And thatÂ’s it for today. I will be bailing out early this morning to mow grass. I put it off as long as I cold because I always drink beer when mowing and I wanted some more time between the last rocking chair day. But now the weeds are knee deep in the front yard and I canÂ’t put it off any more.

Morning, all you creepy-ass crackas. HereÂ’s a story from writer Ben HechtÂ’s 1954 memoir A Child of the Century:
Hecht was working on the script of the 1932 Paul Muni movie Scarface when an overzealous press agent put out the story that the film was going to be a biographical study of Al Capone.*
As you might expect, a couple of Big Al’s men showed up at Hecht’s hotel fairly soon after, guns bulging in their coats. “We hear you’re writing stuff about Al,” they told Hecht, who immediately tried to set them straight. “God, no,” he protested. “I don’t even know Al.” Hecht went on to tell the gunsels that, though he’d lived in Chicago, he’d left town before Al became big. “I knew Jim Colosimo pretty well,” he went on, trying to drop some names that would offer him protection, “and Mossie Enwright and Pete Gentleman.”
“Did you know Deanie?” one of the gunmen asked. “Deanie O’Bannion?” Hecht answered. “Sure. I used to ride around with him in his flivver.” The mobsters nodded in agreement. “OK. We’ll tell Al the stuff you wrote is about them other guys.”
As Hecht was showing them out, they stopped at the door. “Hey – if you ain’t writing about Al, why’s the thing called Scarface ? Everybody’ll think it’s him.”
“That’s the reason,” the rattled writer told them. “Al is one of the most famous and fascinating men of our time. If we call the movie Scarface , everybody will want to see it, figuring it’s about Al. That’s part of the racket we call showmanship.” **
The Chicago visitors left, satisfied, and Hecht – after a long slug of hooch – took a deep breath and went back to work.
This story really doesn’t lend itself to cheesecake. I was going to tell you about Lana Turner during the filming of The Merry Widow, during which she gasped, after spending several hours in hre specially created corselette, “I tell you, the merry widow had to be created by a man. No woman would do this to another woman.” But I couldn’t find a good picture of her in the thing. So here’s a luscious picture of Turner, draped in fur and ready for the taking:
And, since IÂ’ve got to go to a meeting and wonÂ’t be back for another hour or so, how about Anita Morris in her lace body stocking from the musical Nine?
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
*though Scarface really isnÂ’t about Capone per se, many of the events in the film are near recreations of the Chicago gang wars of the 1920s, including the murder of Dean OÂ’Bannion and the Saint ValentineÂ’s Day Massacre.
**speaking of ‘showmanship’ - just as in The Public Enemy, when live ammunition was used during a James Cagney shootout, live ammunition was used during the filming of Scarface. Comedian Harold Lloyd’s brother Gaylord lost an eye during a visit to the set when he was accidentally hit.

I'm sceptical that there'll be much change. Rudd's less shitty than Gillard, but that's only an amount of shit. A bucket of shit is less shitty than a tub of shit. Knowing Labor, theyll talk a big game about it before the election, then just leave the staus quo as is, afterward. It would require the coalition to trounce both the reds and the greens to have the clout to do something. Even then, it's not a lock. From what I recall, the thing was constructed to incur huge costs if repealed. Could be wrong, but I think it was made with tripwires by the Greens so you couldn't touch it without losing a leg or two.

I LOVE that the high schooler got a question AND follow-up in at the WH Presser. That's brilliant! First off because what he asked was something that SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED A LONG TIME AGO, and secondly because you KNOW -- KNOW -- there were alleged journalists there who would have given their eye teeth to be able to ask a question half so provocative, but who are muzzled by their own ideological shackles and editorial gag orders.

I am sure there are some people who fall outside the standards and are not high credit risks. But they are the exception, not the rule.
The problem comes when we quickly run out of those people and start (once again) lending to people who are not. In the interest of "fairness" or to help people with their "right" to own a home. Or some other nice sounding platitude that is fallacy and ends in economic disaster.

They are Statists both.
It's now Statists versus Taxpayers. By virtue of the internet, we can communicate real time with each other across all borders and we now analyze, know, and understand the game being played against us. National parties are the death of this nation as vote trading and handouts permit disingenuous shows of alliances with the voters at home. Almost all of government action is a series of lies. The Federal government is absolutely corrupted.
So put me in with the Fuckitol crowd. If amnesty passes I'm going to screw over the GOP. It won't keep its perks with my help after screwing me. Might as well wipe it out ASAP and get to the building of new representation wherein corruption isn't rewarded quite so boldly for a while.

Most likely the current came from the earth itself. The swimming pool is essentially a big Leyden jar which was being charged and discharged 60 times per second by the high voltage wire touching the ground in the parking lot. The girl became part of that charging circuit when she touched the ladder, and some of the current passed through her.
Most people killed by lightning are not killed by a direct strike; the current in the earth (which is not a perfect conductor) causes a voltage drop across the ground - so that there is a potential difference between the person's feet and current flows through the person from one foot through the body and out the other foot subjecting the heart to an electric shock. It takes only a few thousandths of ampere through the heart to electrocute someone.

Would not shock me in the least...
the McCain gang probably communicated with them too and then what?
Do we impeach the entire fucking town?

Issa is today's Boy Who Cried Wolf. He has "investigated" everything under the sun, and has produced zero results.
Eric Holder is walking around free as a bird and twice as dirty, which demonstrates the awesome power of "contempt" citations. Everyone else who has attracted the fearsome gaze of Investigator Issa is likewise unhindered in any way.
Alex Jones is more credible. So is George Noory.

So the same kind of unthinking reluctance to use independent judgement that gets kids suspended from school for having a pop-tart chewed into the shape of a gun has complaints just ignored until after the term of office.
There has to be a middle ground somewhere - presumably the bar is staffed by thinking human beings (albeit lawyers) who can make judgement calls as to whether a complaint meets a particular standard. And if some attorney somewhere wants to sandbag the prosecutor with frivolous complaints, I can't see why that kind of behavior can't be slapped down by the bar as well.

I would have absolutely zero problem with that. Clear out every desk and all the staff. Fumigate. Then Burn/Scatter/Salt if necessary.
Then pull out fifty state phone books and draw 535 names.
We need to flush the institutional memory as it's practitioners have actually become if not incompetent, tyrannical. As I understand it from a previously mentioned link from RS McCain, incumbency in America is the most entrenched in all of the globe's democracies. Worse than even the Soviet Politburo. How the hell does that happen unless the game is hopelessly rigged and corrupted?
It can't. American's have enabled a beast that cannot be controlled or killed by classical measures.

Hey, congrats on getting your CHL - though yes, it does suck that one is necessary. Still, whenever I get my renewal I always go to Wal-Mart and order some nachos at the cafe. Kind of a ritual.

Some Silicon Valley firms have those.
At one point I was forwarded a snapshot taken by someone working for Cisco.
It was a note from Cisco security taped to the door of the shower area, saying, in several discreet circumlocutions, "Please stop shitting in the employee showers."
The Third World H-1Bs brought in by Cisco management were apparently doing just that. Leaving big deuces right there by the drain.
Never saw that myself but that would have been an instant end to any thought of ever showering on company premises ever again. Noooooooooooo thanks.

I accidently watched 30 seconds of The Newsroom last night channel surfing. So stupid, yet so sincere. If they added a laugh track to it, it'd strip away the sincerity, and I'd watch it all the time cuz its hilarious.
I think that's the title; it's that Sorkin POS.

Mark Levin made the same point yesterday. The turnover in Congress is lower than that in the House of Lords or the Soviet Politburo.
Someone upthread said the only way to get these fuckers to notice us is a million people in DC. I agree - except, a million people with firearms. Go nito every office and herd them all out at gunpoint; senators, reps, staffers, secretaries, cooks and bottle washers. Given them five minutes to clean out their desks. Then tell them, "go home. You are not to return here. If you do, we will not guarantee your safety." Then pull 500-odd names out of a hat.

I had a shower in my office, but I was the only one who used it.

Do people not get that most of America does not live in a city? I mean, I know we're Unpeople in Jesusland, but surely someone must have at least done a study of the migratory habits of the greater lowland lumpenprole.
I repeat: ILU.
*provides Awesome Stepstool of Awesomeness for ATC*
The bike to work thing pisses me off, too. First off because, helloooo, I live a twenty minute drive from my job, as do most people who live in this state. I know people who commute 90mins a day to Boston, for cripes sake. Biking isn't an option.
Then there's teh fact that I'm sick to death of having to drive with lycra clad asses in my face. It's hard enough to keep traffic flowing through narrow streets that were built back in the frigging colonial days without having to also maneuver around wannabe Tour de Francers in their almond-shape helmets and bright yellow racing gear who think that biking to their job at The Pottery Barn makes them Cool and With It.
And the shower thing is especially aggravating to me. I've worked in exactly one place that had an on-site shower, and that was because the building housed the state's Public Health Department. This meant that if there were an outbreak or other public health emergency, it stood to reason that lots of people would be forced to stay in the building overnight and for many days on end. Having to deal with a potential outbreak of swine flu, avian flu, EEE, West Nile, whooping cough, diptheria, what have you is bad enough without having to deal with that outbreak while surrounded by smelly people with greasy hair.

Ah, "The Newsroom." The show that allows highly paid journos to pretend that they are the misunderstood, victimized emo kid who Shows The World (tm) that There's More To Life Than Money(tm), and it's A Little Thing Called Integrity (tm)

This is really what started the liberal wing of the Democratic party down the path that ultimately resulted in TFG; the liberals realized that it was possible to get away with anything if the media was covering for them.
How in God's name was Kennedy not charged with something? If ever there was a case of intoxication manslaughter that was it. If you or I did such a thing we would be rotting under the prison. It was the beginning of "Laws for thee and none for me".

Age and term limits will require a constitutional amendment. I expect that to take a wee bit of time to accomplish.

I am sure someone has made the point many times, but I find it amusing how the head-of-the-snake in the IRS scandal keeps approaching the Oval Office asymptotically as it where, never quite getting there, in contrast with previous Republican administrations where any snake found under a rock within 50 miles of the White House was pinned on it instantly.
My S-I-L still reminds me that Richard Armitage WAS a Bush appointee, you know! When I ask her why, if he was a Bush operative, did he not 'fess up when Bush publicly ordered all his official to cooperate fully?
Well, that's different....
