101 Good morning, Morons.

As you sit there looking at the effects of catastrophic climate change, you may all take this opportunity to reflect on your lives of right-wing racism and hate. The failed policies of the RethugiKKKan party have led us to this. The "international bankers" outsourced industry to countries with no environmental laws have left the planet poisoned and America bankrupt. The money was stolen to fund more illegal Zionist wars against brown people.

Only Barack Obama and the forces of trans-national progress can save you.

With Boehner, Cantor and that third dipshit that Levin is always railing about, forming a coalition with the donks and the JEF, what the fuck is there left to support?  The only fucking reason Boehner is the Speaker is because voters were pissed off over 404Care and the reckless spending that began in the Bush years and that drunk pile of shit has run exactly opposite to that mandate.

Good news, every Juan!:

A new law in the northern Mexican state of Sonora bans parents from registering names for their children defined by the authorities as "derogatory, pejorative, discriminatory or lacking in meaning".

The civil registry is distributing a list of 61 such names to its local offices around the state that has been primarily drawn up from a revision of records of names registered in the past. These range from Burger King and Usnavy, to the Spanish word for scrotum,

First of all, thanks for the correction on which one of the spawn of Satan was the Chavez suck up.  Second, Patches was such an inept bumbler and substance soak that the PBS apparatchiks ran a documentary on his RI race and just how fucking corrupt it was in steamrolling some relatively deserving resident instead of that ignorant retard.  I'm sure whoever produced it was summarily executed and all copies of the film burned but it was a very revealing portrait of just what a dimwit he was and how corrupt it was to put him in office.

176 A further Kennedy outrage is their subsidiary, "Water Keepers." It's the usual communist front group, applied to federal control of water quality, drinking water processing, runoff regulation, riparian rights, and basically anything that touches water, and you are 70% water. They "appoint" local reps, and papers usually fall in line by reporting the title as if it were a government post or scientific honorary.

One fun part of having animal tracks in the yard is that even when the snow is not melting, footprints creep larger in the snow. Yesterday's mailman track will look like this morning's Bigfoot.

The one thing they wrote yesterday that was good is that both McConnell & Cornyn had initially voted No on debt ceiling but they had to switch to yes for bill to pass & they have primary opponents & itÂ’s not good for them that they voted yes on the debt ceiling bill, considering that most of us do not like it.

'Miracle' baby's condition improves with parents' touch

WMUR (NH): http://tinyurl.com/kp7kzyh 

 

...Cora Lee arrived far too early, but what happened next has surprised everyone. She came into the world weighing 1 pound 5 ounces and was delivered early because her umbilical cord had wrapped around her neck.

 

 

Cora Lee was born at 25 weeks and one day, so she was almost 15 weeks early. She had complications that required her to stay in an incubator. Her parents were told they should hold her in her final hours...

 

 

...But when Cora Lee was cradled in her mother's arms, something happened that stunned even doctors. Her oxygen level soared. She was not only surviving; she was thriving.

 

 

"I had really told myself she wasn't going to make it. It was the hardest decision," Elizabeth Smart said. "As soon as she touched mommy and knew who mommy was, it was a brand new leaf was turned."

 

 

...Doctors developed a plan that Cora Lee would be held by every member of the family for 72 straight hours. She is now getting better.

Reason # 3,256 why I am so grateful I had the opportunity back in the day to do all my woman chasing overseas.

 

But I despair for my sons. Wife keeps cracking jokes about arranging marriages for them with girls back in the province.

273 George Soros' former girlfriend slapped him Tuesday afternoon during a break in a deposition over whether the billionaire owes her money, according to multiple reports.

Adriana Ferreyr, a 30-year-old South American soap actress, is suing Soros, 83, for breaking his promise to give her a $1.9 million Upper East Side condo. He ended up giving it to his current wife, Tamiko Bolton, whom he recently married.

Three years ago, Ferreyr filed a $50 million lawsuit against Soros, whom she dated on-and-off again from 2005 to 2010. She alleges that during a "romantic reunion," Soros whispered that he gave the apartment he allegedly promised her to another woman, who would become his wife.

274 Process for launching a text link in a new tab from an Ace of Spades HQ comment on the iClone cell running Opera Mini: 1. Press & hollllllld until link highlights, maybe 2. Struggle to move little arrows to actually highlight link; revert to 1 frequently. 3. Tap "select" (if it still shows up, if not, back to step 1) 4. Should the selection menu actually appear, be careful to hit "copy," or it's back to step 1. 5. Hit the little button that brings up what passes for tabs. 6. Stab at a new tab. 7. Press and hollllllld in address bar until the menu pops up. 8. Sometimes accidentally hit "copy"; return to step 1 – otherwise, choose "paste" 9. Waiiiit for keyboard to pop up 10. Hit Enter. Eventually your page may load. _________________ Same thing on, say, a Wordpress blog comment: 1. Press & hollllld on link for menu. 2. Choose "open in new tab." #twoweeks

Posted at 2:03 am by Glenn Reynolds http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/ First the DOJ is trying to get felons to vote, now foreigners. And, the whole illegal alien push. Desperation.

278 Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the Internal Revenue Service to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races.

In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Democrats are publicly prodding the agency instead of lobbying them directly. They are also careful to say the IRS should treat conservative and liberal groups equally, but theyÂ’re concerned about an impending tidal wave of attack ads funded by GOP-allied organizations. Much of the funding for those groups is secret, in contrast to the donations lawmakers collect, which must be reported publicly.

One of the most powerful groups is Americans for Prosperity, funded by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch. It has already spent close to $30 million on ads attacking Democrats this election cycle.

“If they’re claiming the tax relief, the tax benefit to be a nonprofit for social relief or social justice, then that’s what they should be doing,” said Sen. Mark Begich (D), who faces a competitive race in Alaska. “If it’s to give them cover so they can do political activity, that’s abusing the tax code. And either side.”

... it seems the Democrats have their own methods for voter suppression
