National City Bank executives get $50 Million Golden Parachute
During the back and forth of the National City Bank/PNC Bank fiasco somethings struck me as strange, yet I was uanble to explain as to exactly why. While Rep. LaTourette, along with our local boy blunder - Dennis Kookcinich - were out there demanding answers about this questionable buyout with money from the bailout -- National City executives seemed too quiet.
It appeared LaTourette and kook-boy were not being told the whole story, and especially not by National City. It seemed as they were fighting for National City - harder than National City; Almost like they jumped into a fight that National City didn't want.
I think we may have found out why National City executives didn't mind the takeover...
From the PD --
National City Corp.'s top executives could get as much as $50 million in payouts thanks to closing today of the bank's $5.6 billion merger with PNC.
The payouts to National City's top 14 executives could total $49.5 million before taxes, according to filings made by PNC. Those payments had been thrown into question this year because PNC is buying National City with bailout money from the Treasury Department. The legislation that authorized the bailout forbids paying such "golden parachute" bonuses to officers of banks receiving the funds.
But National City did not receive the funds and apparently is not subject to those restrictions. PNC spokesman Brian Goerke said Tuesday that the parachute agreements "were existing obligations of National City, and PNC expects to abide by them." Executives who stay with PNC after the merger will not receive the payments.
Peter Raskind, National City's outgoing chief executive, stands to receive about $8.1 million in severance payments thanks to the merger. Earlier this year, he said he would donate a significant portion of those funds to the Cleveland Foundation if he received them. Raskind plans to leave the bank after the sale.
Other executives who apparently will get large payouts are retail banking chief Daniel Frate and Executive Vice President Jon Gorney. Frate could get $4.02 million after taxes and Gorney $3.96 million.
Area Religious Leaders to fight Cleveland's Gay Registry
I previously posted about how I hoped the City of Cleveland and the, Convention and Visitors Bureau of Greater Cleveland, attempts at increasing tourism here by turning this area into a Homo-Haven didn't pick up any speed. Not only did it pick up speed, but we may soon be seeing sissy's in Speedos and cowboys in assless chap's if the Gaylympics, accompanied by a Gay Rodeo, are hosted here.
"Out in Cleveland" has reported The Cleveland Synergy Foundation has recently hired the global public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard International Communications to help organize landing the 20014 Gaylympics.
Oh boy, I can't wait - we will have a "flamer," with a flaming Gaylympic torch skipping down Euclid Ave. being cheered on by a bunch of bi-sexual, bare-back rodeo riders!
Adding legitimacy to the City of Cleveland becoming a Sanctuary City for Sissy's, is the foolishness by the City of Cleveland Clowncil. With the infrastructure failing, police radios barely working, clowncil members getting arrested, etc... they enact a Gay Registry.
Since all the conservative leaders in this area, (are there any? Oh wait the RPCC pretends they have some...), sit with that dumb & ineffective "but we try" look on their face, but as always - do nothing, the City of Cleveland continues dragging this whole region down.
But thankfully we have some area religious leaders willing to fight in attempts at keeping Cleveland from becoming the new Homo-Haven of the United States...
From the PD --
Several local pastors have banded together in an effort to repeal Cleveland's recently passed domestic-partner registry.
A group led by the Rev. C. Jay Matthews of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church is circulating two types of petitions, one of which would put the controversial issue on a citywide referendum ballot.
Matthews cast the registry as a sneaky maneuver by the City Council to circumvent a 2004 constitutional amendment that banned gay-marriage and civil unions in Ohio.
"It should be handled by the state of Ohio and, unfortunately, our city is once again out of step with the reality of the challenges that are before us," Matthews said at news conference Tuesday at his church. He was joined by seven other religious leaders. More...
But here is the most upsetting thing out of all this... many of the so-called conservative leaders, so-called visionaries of conservatism and "social club" members of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County, in violations of our bylaws, donated money and actively supported the elected DEMOCRAT clowncilman responsible for the Gay Registry -- Cleveland's biggest clown -- Joe Simpleman.
Yep, you got it Cuyahoga County Conservative Sparky - while the leaders of the RPCC sat silent, party officers and long time party members supported the person responsible for this slippery slope type thinking that is bringing Cleveland a Gay Registry.
"Here's the thing: if they're against gay marriage, then say that," said Councilman Joe Cimperman, who sponsored the registry's creation. "This is not about gay marriage."With this, since we cannot count on our $400K+ a year party leaders, I am asking and urging all members of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County to support the initiative to put a city-wide referendum on the ballot.
Blago fills Barack's Seat
Unable to even get a free cup of coffee out of the deal, Blago went ahead and named the successor to Barack's senate seat. His choice makes me like him and laugh even more...
From Yahoo --
Hold your popcorn! This three-ring circus is only half over!A defiant Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Tuesday named a black political trailblazer to Barack Obama's Senate seat, a surprise move that put the governor's opponents in the uncomfortable position of trying to block his choice from becoming the Senate's only black member. Blagojevich's appointment of former state Attorney General Roland Burris injected race into the drama surrounding the embattled governor, who repeatedly sought to distance his selection from charges that he tried to sell the seat to the highest bidder.
"Please don't allow the allegations against me to taint a good and honest man," the governor said, turning to the smiling 71-year-old standing by his side.
"This is about Roland Burris as a U.S. senator, not about the governor who made the appointment."

The Worlds Most Deadly Conventional Weapons
The AC-130 aerial gunship: This comes in two forms, the AC-130H "Spectre" and the more heavily armed AC-130U "Spooky," both flown by the U.S. Air Force. Versions of the AC-130 were first deployed during the Vietnam War.
The 'bunker buster' bomb: The British military first conceived of steel-nosed bombs that dropped heavily and quickly enough to penetrate underground targets.Laser-guided bombs: First used in Vietnam, these bombs (and some missiles) home in on a laser-illuminated target marked either by the shooter or a third party on the ground. Unpowered bombs use fins to steer themselves to the target; powered missiles use rocket or jet engines.
The .50-caliber sniper rifle: Confederate soldiers first mounted scopes on high-powered rifles during the Civil War, but the first specially designed sniper rifles for both police and military use came about in the 1970s. The barrels are precisely machined and specially mounted to minimize recoil.
Anti-personnel mines: These little hidden bombs cause such havoc in civil wars around the world that they've been banned by most nations. The U.S. still insists on retaining the right to use them, though it doesn't actively deploy them.
This air delivered weapon explodes in an intense fireball combined with a devastating blast. It explodes in a terrifying nuclear bomb-like mushroom cloud and wreaks destruction through a massive shockwave created by the air burst and high temperature... Besides the obvious, the real danger of thermobaric bombs is that the technology in its' rawest form is available to terrorists. There is reason to believe that the explosion at the Islamabad Marriott may have been a crude form of a thermobaric bomb.
State Auditor report says Cuyahoga Recorders Office is over staffed
Taylor's report recommends the Recorder's Office cut 17 of the 100 current employees...
In April, The Plain Dealer reported that O'Malley had given three dozen patronage jobs in 2007, hiring former mayors, the son and daughter of a judge and the wife of a councilman.
As of April, the newspaper also reported, his office employed 103 workers -- nearly twice as many employees as in the recorder's office in Franklin County, which has slightly fewer people than Cuyahoga County.
Personnel costs have been the office's top expense since at least 2003. Salaries were more than $3.8 million this year. The 2009 county budget, which was adopted earlier this month, calls for reducing payroll to $3.1 million. But Cuyahoga's elected officials, such as the recorder, have the authority to outspend their budgets and occasionally do so.
On a side note -- What the PD fails to report is that many of the patronage jobs they highlighted were filled as they, the Plain Dealer, supported & turned a blind eye to the democrat machine driving our county to the mercury-filled bottom of Lake Erie.
Back to Auditor Taylor....
This month alone Auditor Taylor has accomplished more than what most elected officials in Ohio have done in their whole career!
Can anyone say - Senator Mary Taylor or Governor of Ohio Mary Taylor?
Former area Prosecutor Dies in Prison serving time on Gun Charges
Thomas G. Longo, a former lawyer, prosecutor and judicial candidate, died Dec. 3 while serving an eight-year prison sentence on firearms charges.
That was not his first scrape with the law. Longo, 64, served three years in prison previously, after admitting his role in a scheme to smuggle a half ton of marijuana into Ohio using a horse trailer.
He was sentenced to prison again in 2007 on the firearm charges, after detectives found a cache of guns in his house in 2004 while investigating a sexual assault case. As a felon, he could not own or possess any guns.
But before he could face the firearms charges, he fled to Mexico. More...

Guns equal safety - proven right AGAIN
Even though the US Supreme Court has recently reaffirmed our right to bear arms, there are 18 states currently trying back door gun-control with legislation (The Ammunition Accountability Act) that will require putting serial numbers on ammunition which will then be tracked in a government data base.
The start of this new attack will begin with what they call the "gun-show loophole". World Net Daily highlights some very interesting facts from a recent study....
Mark Duggan and Randi Hjalmarsson of the University of Maryland and Brian A. Jacob of the University of Michigan teamed up to examine the evidence in a scientific study of the impact of gun shows on murder and suicide and accidental deaths.
They looked at 3,417 gun shows in two very different states – Texas and California – during an 11-year period. And they examined vital statistics data on suicides, homicides and accidental gun deaths in the weeks following them.
"We find a sharp decline in the number of gun homicides in the weeks immediately following a gun show," they concluded. Furthermore, in Texas they found "gun shows reduce the number of gun homicides by 16 in the average year."

Steaming Load of the Year Award -- Nominations
That being said, Hambo is offering an "open bowl" and has decided to accept nominations. Listed below you will find the nominations so far. If you feel there are any other candidates worthy of this yearly award, get your crayon out and start scribbling...
Send your flush-worthy submissions here.It’s the magic time of year, when we select our Steaming Load of the Year. As expected, we have our own ideas on this subject, and we’ll be giving you some examples of our top candidates, shortly. So far, so good, since it’s business as usual.
This year, we decided to allow you PIGsters to join the year ending fun. The Free State of PIG invites you to sound off with your own Steaming Load(s) of the Year nominations. We’ll give you until Tuesday, December 30, 2008 to get those "You gotta flush this stinker for me" suggestions.
Put on your thinking caps, PIGsters and get those nominations to us STAT.
Here, are a few of our top candidates for Steaming Loads of the Year:
Nomination 1: Capitol Hill Clown Posse hypocrisy reaches record shattering levels.
Congresspuke Barney Frank and Stinking Senatorial turd Christopher Dodd, played a leading role in creating the subprime mortgage mess. Long after it was obvious that the subprime lending scam was destined for a dramatic implosion, Frank and Dodd continued to thwart any effort to crack down on their deep pocketed contributors at Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.
Their hypocrisy reached undreamed of heights, when they were put in charge of ‘fixing’ a problem that they created. That's when they made this disaster worse, by
covering the butts of their guilty as sin financial scam artists.Nomination 2: A Presidential election that was, by any rational measure, a lose-lose situation for America’s sovereign individuals.
Forcing chad punchers to choose between a big government loving socialist like McCain and an unrepentant Marxist like O’Dumbo spelled disaster for our inalienable individual liberty, no matter which one emerged victorious.
Sovereign individuals could choose McCain, a dude who would stab your liberty in the back with his Nanny State loving, sovereignty hating, bull crap. OR, they could go for the gold with Messiah Barry, who will gaze fondly at this beloved Oval Office teleprompter, while his Marxist minions nuke your liberty out from under you.
Heads you lose, tails you lose.
Nomination 3: The intolerable Nanny State takeover of key segments of the American economy.
A Car Czar?
Letting Hank "Shifty" Paulson spew billions of tax dollars into the pockets of his banking buddies, who flatly refuse to tell anyone how they spent it?
Letting the Capitol Hill Clown Posse attach strings to auto bailout bills, to protect the unions whose insane contracts played a large role in destroying America’s Big 3
Automakers?Massive Nanny State intrusions into key segments of the American Economy?
Welcome to the U.S. S. R. - the United States Socialist Republik.
Nomination 4: Letting Ramos and Compean rot in a federal jail.
They were railroaded by Vicente W. Bush’s hatchetman, Johnny "Die in a Fire You Bastard" Sutton. The man the Border Patrol agents shot lied on the witness stand, and the Feds knew it. Later, when reality reared its ugly head, he was exiled to a federal graybar where he wouldn’t cause the Feds any trouble.
Despite the stench choking rational adults from this miscarriage of justice, Ramos and Compean were denied the justice they deserved. Now, in the waning days of Vicente W. Bush’s administration, they are still getting the Oval Office shaft by a president whose record on border enforcement is a disgrace.
Vicente W. Bush pardons drug dealers, spies and other lowlifes, but the two men who deserve, at minimum, a presidential pardon - followed by a presidential apology - are passed over.
This kind of crap shouldn’t happen in the United States of America.
Perpetrated by: Hambo
2008 Girlieman of the Year - President Bush
Winner: Vicente W. Bush
Winning Moves: Unable to correct a mistake.
One of Vicente W. Bush’s personality traits is a stubborn streak that’s a big as Mexas. We saw that play out, time, and time again, throughout his tenure in the Oval Office. Let’s face it "Oops, my bad" just isn’t in his vocabulary.We’re inclined to give Vicente props for his dogged determination, when he’s pursuing the Jihadikaze scumbags, who want to destroy us. That’s one instance where his stubborn streak worked for us.
Unhappily, his pigheaded refusal to second guess his decisions isn’t our idea of a good time, when it comes to America’s immigration policy. That brings us to this award.
Despite the blatant injustice of the sentences imposed on them, Ramos and Compean continue to be America’s most egregiously maligned political prisoners. Condemning them to rot for at least a decade in a federal prison for shooting a drug smuggling, border jumping, pile of shit in the ass is BULL SHIT. Bush's refusal to admit that the punishment is much too harsh for the ‘alleged’ crime is an intolerable injustice. It’s not the act of a brave defender of justice. It’s gutless to the core.
We’re disgusted by the fact that Vicente Bush steadfastly refuses to set Ramos and Compean free with a presidential pardon, in the waning days of his administration. For this act of craven cowardice, Vicente W. Bush earned this richly deserved bitch-slap as the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Year.
Runner-up: Messiah Barry Obama
Girlieman of the Year credentials: Hiding behind the race card, he ducked all the essential, tough, questions and caterwauled all the way to the Oval Office.
Second Runner-up: Comrade Hillary
Girlieman of the Year credentials: She lost those Jupiter-size nads, when she turned gutless and girlie, by accepting Messiah Barry’s Miss Congeniality door prize as Secretary of State in his administration.

Cleveland Community Activist & Radio Host - Art McKoy arrested in Drug Investigation
McKoy, founder of Black on Black Crime, Inc. - a Cleveland activist group, also hosted a radio show at 9:00pm on WTAM. Like Triv is the white fool - Mckoy was the black fool. Art's radio was over the top and very amusing. Defining "whites" as "suburbanites," McKoy offered a forum of fun for some unintended hilarity on topics mostly for the Cleveland & Cuyahoga County area.
From the PD --
High-profile community activist Art McKoy was arrested Wednesday and is accused of running a major drug-distribution operation from his East Cleveland barbershop.
In addition to powder cocaine, officers bought crack cocaine and heroin in the shop, Mayor Eric Brewer said. The investigation began in February. Police made numerous drug purchases in the barbershop, Police Chief Ralph Spotts said.
Police declined to say whether McKoy personally sold any of the drugs or was present when the drugs were sold. More...
McKoy is a street hustler who hustled his way up and into the Cleveland media. That is not a shot at him - just the truth.
Though he may sound like it, McKoy is no fool when it comes to the "streets". Trust me, Art knows the "street". If the amount of drugs coming out of his shop is as police say - everyone on the street knew it - meaning Art was also aware.
The ruthless drug trade in this area, once protected by the PD, is handled by a select few & and their is no way anyone can tell me McKoy had no knowledge that his barber shop was being used as the main source of herion, crack and coke in this area.
I repoed furniture & cars in East Cleveland for many years. We called East Cleveland - "Dodge City" - as it was like the Wild Wild West. At one time I knew E.C. like the back of my hand and had established a "working relationship" with the major drug players. On some "one way in - one way out" streets like Page Ave & Wymore, it was common practice for the dope boys on the corner to charge a fee for securing safe passage in and out. If you knew who they slung for, sometimes the fee was dismissed.
McKoy, who plays the victim better than anyone, has yet to make a statement about the arrest -though his fellow community activists (No, not Obama) have bullhorned his innocence.
Two Candidates for the Death Penalty
From Fox News --
A Tucson couple face murder charges after an autopsy revealed their baby girl's death was caused by malnutrition.
Authorities arrested 26-year-old Terri Sullivan and 27-year-old Scott Sullivan after their 6-week-old child Kimberlie died Aug. 30.
Tucson police say the Sullivans are charged with first-degree murder. Initially, they were charged with felony child abuse.
A Pima County Medical Examiner's report says the baby weighed 5.8 pounds at death and 7 pounds 12 ounces at birth.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Eric D. Peters wrote there were no drugs in the "emaciated" baby's body and "no evidence of recent injury."
Tucson police say Terri Sullivan told detectives she had been starving her baby since the child was about 11 days old. She gave no reason for her alleged actions.
Both parents should be candidates for the Death Penalty. Not only should they be sentenced to death, but I hope their death will be 10x more painful than the poor babies. How can a person worthy of life willfully deprive any child like this?
It makes my skin crawl just imagining what this poor defenseless child was thinking while she was slowly being starved to death.

The Ultimate Christmas Gift
The following was sent to me from a friend who served in Vietnam...
Arlington Cemetery at Christmas

Readers may be interested to know that these wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only providesthe wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.

State Auditor investigating Cleveland & Toledo School Purchases
Taylor has saved our state untold millions since she has been elected.
From the PD
State auditors investigating questionable purchases by Cleveland schools Chief
Operating Officer Daniel Burns will also look into practices followed by the Toledo schools when he was their business manager.
Auditors will review purchases from vendors used by both districts, State Auditor Mary Taylor said Tuesday. (Related: Toledo Blade report)
Burns and his assistant, Shenee McCoy-Gibbons, have been on paid leave since Dec. 10 while auditors and Cuyahoga County sheriff's detectives investigate the purchase of at least $160,000 in equipment.
Authorities have not specified the kind of equipment or how many pieces; nor have they laid out the nature of any possible irregularities.
Keep up the GREAT work Mary!

A Blast from the Past
They Demand That Which They Have Not Earned.
“So they think money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can’t exist unless there are goods produced by men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principles that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce.
“When you accept money for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moocher or the looter who gives value to money. Not an ocean of tears or all the guns in the world can transfer those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is a statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money.
“Have you ever looked for the root of production? Take a look at an electric generator and dare tell yourself that it was created by muscular effort of unthinking brutes. Try to grow a seed of wheat without the knowledge left to you by men who had discovered it for the first time. Try to obtain your food by the means of nothing but physical motion- and you’ll learn that man’s mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that ever existed on earth.
“But they say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak? What strength do they mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscle. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think. Then is money made by the man that invents the generator at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy?
Money is made before it can be mooched or looted, made by the efforts of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more then he has produced.
“To trade by means of money is the code of men of good will. Money rests on the axiom that every man is the owner of his mind and his effort. Money allows no power to prescribe the value of your effort except the voluntary choice of the man who is willing to trade you his effort in return. Money permits you to obtain for your goods and your labor that which they are worth to the men who buy them and no more. Money permits no deals except those of mutual benefit by the unforced judgment of the traders.
Money demands of you the recognition that men must work for their own benefit, not for their own injury, for their own gain, not their loss, the recognition that they are not beast of burden, born to carry the weight of their misery, that they must offer value, not wounds- that the common bond among men is not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of goods. Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to man’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason. It demands that you buy not the shoddiest they can offer, but the best that money can find. And when men live by trade – with reason, not force, as their final arbiter- it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgment and highest ability- and the degree of a man’s productiveness is the degree of his reward. This is the code of existence whose tool and symbol are money.
“But money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means of the satisfaction of you desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of men who try law of causality- the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind.
“Money will not purchase the happiness for the man who has no concept of what he wants, money will not give him a code of values, if he’s evaded the knowledge of what to value. And it will not give him a purpose, if he’s evaded the choice of what to seek. Money will not buy intelligence for the fool, or admiration for the coward, or respect for the incompetent. The man who tries to purchase the brain’s of his superiors to serve him, with his money replacing his judgment, ends up becoming victims of his inferiors. The men of intelligence desert him, but the cheats and the frauds come flocking to him, drawn by a law that he has not discovered, that no man may be smaller then his money.
“Money is the means of your survival. The verdict that you pronounce upon the source of you livelihood is the verdict that you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt then you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud or by pandering to man’s vices or stupidity? By catering to fools in hope of getting more then your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so then your money will not give you a moment of joy. Then all the things that you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach, not an achievement but a reminder of shame. Then you’ll scream that money is evil, because it would not pinch-hit for you self respect. Evil because it would not let you enjoy your depravity. Is this the root of all that is evil.
“Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause. Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices. Money will not give you the unearned, neither in matter nor in spirit. Is this the root of their hatred for money.
“Or did they say that the love of money is the root of all evil? To love a thing is to know and love it’s nature. To love money is to know and to love the fact that money is the creation of the best power within you, and the passkey to trade your effort for the effort of the best among men. It’s the person who will sell his soul for a nickel, who is the loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money, and he has good reason to hate it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it, they know they are able to deserve it.
Let me give you a tip on a clue to man’s character: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it. Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter. So long as man lives together on earth and need means to deal with one another- their only substitute if they abandon money is the barrel of a gun.
“ But money demands of you the highest virtues, if you wish to make it or to keep it. Men who have no courage , pride, or self esteem, men who have no moral sense of their right to their money and are not willing to defend it as they defend their life, men who apologize for being rich – will not remain rich for long. They are the natural bait for the swarms of looters that stay under rocks for centuries, but come crawling out at the first smell of the man who begs to be forgiven for the quilt of owning wealth. They will hasten to relieve him of the quilt – and of his life, as he deserves.
“Then you will see the rise of the man with the double standard- the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money- the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statues are written to protect you against them. But when a society establishes a criminal-by-right and a looter-by law- men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims- then money becomes it’s creator’s avenger.
Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men, once they’ve passed the laws to disarm them. But their loot becomes the magnet of other looters, who get it from them by the same means they got it. Then the race goes not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality.
When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruin and slaughter, “Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you. When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice, you may know your society is doomed. Money is so noble a medium that it does not compete with guns and it does not make terms with brutality. It will not permit a country to survive as half-property, half-loot.
“Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is man’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize the gold and leave to it’s owner a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objectives standards delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victim. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: “Account overdrawn”.
“When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect him to stay moral and loose their lives for the purpose of becoming fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask “Who is destroying the world?” you are.
“You should stand in the midst of the greatest achievement of the greatest productive civilization and you wonder why it is crumbling around you, while your damning it’s life blood- money. You look upon as the savages did before you, and you wonder why the jungle is creeping back to the edge of you cities. Throughout man’s history money was always seized by looters of one brand or another, whose names change, but whose methods remain the same: to seize wealth by force and to keep the producers bound, demeaned, defamed, and deprived of honor.
That phrase about the “evil of money” which you mouth with such righteous recklessness, comes from a time when wealth was produced by the labor of slaves- slaves who repeated the motions once discovered by somebody’s mind and left unimproved for centuries. So long as production was ruled by force, and wealth obtained by conquest, there was little to conquer. Yet through all the centuries of stagnation and starvation, men exalted the looters, as aristocrats of the sword, as aristocrats of birth, of aristocrats of the bureau, and despise the producers, as slaves, as traders, as shopkeepers, as industrialists.
“To the glory of mankind, there was, for the first and only time in history, a country of money- and I have no higher, more reverent tribute to pay to America, for this means: a country of reason, justice, freedom, production, achievement. For the first time man’s money and mind were set free, and there were no fortunes-by-conquest, but only fortunes-by work, and instead of swordsmen and slaves, there appeared the real makers of wealth, the greatest worker, the highest type of human being, the self-made man, the American industrialist.
“If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of America- I would choose – because it contains all the others- the fact that we are the people who created the phase “To make money”. No other language or nation had ever used these words before, man had always thought of wealth as a static quantity to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained by a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words “to make money” hold the essence of human morality.
“Yet these are the words for which Americans are denounced by the rotted cultures of the looter continents. Now the looters’ credo has brought us to regard our proudest achievements as a hallmark of shame, our prosperity as quilt, our greatest men the industrialist as blackguards, and our magnificent factories as the product and property of muscular labor, the labor of a whip-driven slave, like the pyramids of Egypt. The rotter that simpers that he sees no difference between the power of the dollar and the power of the whip, ought to learn to learn the differences on his own hide-as, I think he will.
“Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns – or Dollars take your choice there is no other – and your time is running out.

Breast Cancer in Iran
While this Breast cancer study only reflects women in Iran, I would assume, if taken in other muslim and/or Third World countries the results would be nearly the same or worse.
Women living in muslim countries where Islamic law is the rule of the day face an added hurdle with any medical issues. Under Islamic law, it is illegal for a women to visit a male doctor and women are not allowed to work, which means a lack of any readily accessible female doctors.
From Persian Journal --
Results: A total of 1402 women were interviewed. The mean age of respondents was 43.4 (SD = 14.4) years; most were married (85%), and without any personal (94%) and family history (90%) of breast problems.
It was found that 64% of the respondents were familiar with breast cancer and 61% (n = 851) believed that 'the disease is relatively common among women in Iran'. Most women (44%) perceived a painless mass as a breast cancer symptom.
Overall, 61% of the respondents stated that they knew about breast cancer screening programs and most indicated that electronic media (television 34% and radio 14%) were their source of information. Only 17% of women said that 'they were conducting regular breast self-examination'.
The main reason for women not doing breast self-examination was due to the fact that they did not know how to do it (64%). The findings indicated that performing breast self-examination is significantly related to: age, marital status, education, knowledge of breast cancer and knowledge about breast cancer screening programs (p<0.05), p =" 0.2)" p =" 0.7)">
Conclusions: This descriptive study provides useful information that could be utilized by both researchers and those involved in public health programmes.
The findings indicated that the women awareness of breast cancer warning signs (painless lump, retraction of nipple, and bloody discharge) and effective screening methods i.e. clinical examination, and mammography were very inadequate.
Thus, health education programmes to rectify the lack of women awareness is urgently needed. Indeed the focus of primary health care providers should be to raise awareness about breast care among women and to encourage them to report any unusual changes in their breasts to their family or care physicians.

Unions get a "Two-fer" from Obama
Obama's nominee's for Labor Secretary, Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), the so-called "trail blazer," and his choice for Transportation Secretary, Rep. Ray LaHood (RINO-IL) are proof of the unions purchasing power...
From Open Secrets --
Labor unions, gearing up for a fierce fight on Capitol Hill next year, will find a fervent ally in Barack Obama's pick for Labor Secretary, Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), who has relied heavily on financial support from unions during her time in the House of Representatives. In total Solis has collected $888,050 from the labor sector since 1999, more than twice what she collected from her next most generous sector, which is made up of ideological groups. At least 15 of her top 20 contributors are labor unions, ranging from the United Auto Workers ($46,000) to the Carpenters & Joiners Union ($40,000). She has also collected $40,000 from the nation's largest public employee and health care workers union, AFSCME.
Her supporters will now be expecting her to return the favor. This will start with advocating for legislation that allows workers to unionize once more than 50 percent of a company's workforce signs union cards. Currently unions are formed through secret-ballot elections, which labor organizations say allow bosses to bully employees into voting against forming a union. As part of her new post, Solis is also expected to push "green" jobs. It doesn't appear Solis has received any money from the alternative energy industry during her time in Congress, and she has received scant money from the energy sector overall--a mere $94,350. In addition to unions, lawyers and law firms and women's issues groups have helped fund her campaigns, giving her $226,076 and $225,400, respectively. The PAC EMILY's List, which supports pro-choice female candidates, is her No. 1 donor, having given her at least $85,000.
Showing his bi-partisan side, Obama's choice for Transportation SecRATary, RINOcan Rep. La"union"Hood, from the Corruption State - IL - is in the back pockets of the unions also...
The first registered Republican to be appointed to Barack Obama's Cabinet, reportedly, holds another distinction--he is one of few GOP lawmakers whose campaigns have relied, in part, on transportation unions, a Democratic-leaning industry. Rep. Ray LaHood, who will officially take the position of Transportation Secretary next month, has collected $149,850 from transportation unions, making them his 8th most generous industry in the 14 years he's been in the House of Representatives. Historically these unions have heavily favored Democrats, just this cycle giving 87 percent of their total $14.7 million to Democratic candidates and committees. Next year they will be vying to shape the economic stimulus plan, which LaHood will help piece together. LaHood hails from Peoria, Ill., where unions, including the United Auto Workers, have had a strong presence.
During his congressional career, LaHood collected a total of $7 million, nearly $346,400 of which came from the transportation sector. The National Auto Dealers Association ($54,000) and Airline Pilots Association ($53,000) have been among his top donors. As Transportation Secretary, LaHood will be charged with creating jobs and building infrastructure, weighing the sometimes-competing interests of the various transportation industries. At $124,850, the automotive industry has contributed more to LaHood than the other industries in the sector. LaHood will oversee the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), among other key agencies in DOT.
The Grinch Report - Update
From the
Grinch Report --In this case the name of the Grinch is Thomas J. Murphy, the home owners association property manager for a Flori-DUH Gulag named Ibis Cove. The victims of this Grinchiness are Tom Hayes, his wife Anne-Marie, and their three rugrat aged kids.
In early December Tom Hayes, 52, a retired New York police officer, put up about a dozen Christmas decorations in the front yard of his Ibis Cove home, 8700 Ibis Cove Circle, including an inflatable snowman, a Santa Claus who waves at passers-by, a Santa Claus on a see-saw, light-up presents and a Christmas countdown clock. Days later, Hayes said he received a letter from his property manager, Thomas J. Murphy, threatening a $100 per-day fine, up to $1,000, for each day the decorations are in place.
Hayes, who has a 4-year-old son and twin 1-year-old daughters with his wife Ann Marie, 38, said the Christmas decorations are staying until the holiday is over. “You’ll see every night people stopping with their kids taking pictures with Santa Claus,” Hayes said. “It’s not gaudy. It’s not over the top. It’s just a nice display for a magical time of year.” (Naples Daily News)
Unwilling to back down, Tom Hayes says this isn’t the first time the HOA asshats have painted a bull’s-eye on his holiday decor. They whined, threatened and blustered over prior Christmas displays. They whined, threatened and blustered over his inflatable pumpkin at Halloween, and his inflatable turkey at Thanksgiving. Is he worried? Not really, despite this new $100 a day fine wrinkle. He thinks he’s on solid ground, according to the HOA rules of engagement which states "“Christmas, Easter or any other holiday decoration cannot be displayed more than 30 days before said holiday and must be removed no longer than 14 days after said holiday.”
Tom Hayes says he’s in good company, since many of his neighbors who deployed Christmas decor also threat-o-gram from Murphy and the rest of the HOA asshats. And what, you ask, does this Murphy turd have to say for himself? "The association will not discuss any business of the association with the press." Like all petty tyrants, Terrible Tommy Murphy runs for cover when confronted with his tyrannical behavior.
Campbell's Soup goes Gay!
The Campbell's Soup Company purchased a pair of two-page advertisement spreads in one of the nation's leading pro-homosexual magazines, including an ad highlighting a lesbian couple and their son, reports the American Family Association.
The advertisement for Campbell's product Swanson's broth, the AFA reports, appears in both the December 2008 and January 2009 issues of The Advocate, a magazine that touts itself with the line, "For 40 years, setting the standard in LGBT journalism." More...

A letter to Labor Secretary nominee Hilda Solis
Dear future Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
I am ethnically 1/4 Greek and half French and 1/4 Italian. As a Citizen of the United States I am a US CITIZEN, first! I can completely understand the desire of some Hispanics seeking to help their ethnic friends and family, it is after all very natural. However, as is the case right now with the unbelievable mititancy and activism from so-called Hispanic leaders we have a blatant outrageous push for demographic hegemony, to push, foist a Hispanic agenda on the United States by promoting unfettered, unchecked HUGE immigration (legal and especially illegal) of Hispanics to totally overwhelm our country and create a fait accompli and force us to adopt a new culture, language, you name it. It is simply incredible that ideology, misplaced compassion and political correctness has ben used to subvert the laws of this country, its culture and language.
Mrs Solis, it is time to stop this and understand that average US citizens are now more organized and more militant than ever and yes they are the vast majority of the citizenry and their numbers crush those who shout, lobby, organize, advocate for open borders and the balkanization of our country. We are simple overwhelming them. Americans are now committed to drawing a line in the sand and are in the face of those who seek to subvert our laws and our way of life. If you want the American dream, get in line, do it right, assimilate or integrate. By all means be proud of your origins and language. Learn English and fly our flag. We will welcome you and embrace you.
So Mrs Solis as Labor Secretary I wil expect that you will uphold the laws of the United States and that you will work for the workers of this country and while you might have said that everybody in this hemisphere is "legal" you understand that this will not fly. Trust me, we will keep you honest. So work hard to promote E-Verify in the workplace, secure our borders, and illegal immigration will slow down. Actually it is time to curb immigration period, we need OUR jobs and OUR resources. We are Citizens of this country and NO you don't owe anything to foreigners (they have no entitlement to our country and it's not our mission to be Mother Theresas) but to US, Citizens and legal residents. Enough now!
I wish you good luck in your new job and no doubt you will make us proud.
Will the 3rd time be the Charm in Challenging Obama's Eligibility?
To date Berg has filed several injuctions, all of which have been denied except his original compliant that is scheduled to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 9th, 2009.
From WND --
"I know that Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally qualified natural born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of president of the United States," Berg said in a statement on his ObamaCrimes.com website.
"Obama knows he is not 'natural born' as he knows where he was born and he knows he was adopted in Indonesia; Obama is an attorney, Harvard Law grad who taught Constitutional law; Obama knows his candidacy is the largest 'hoax' attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; Obama places our Constitution in a 'crisis' situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world who know Obama is not qualified," Berg's statement continued.
On one hand, it is almost hard to believe Obama's origin of birth could still be an issue at this point his political career. On the other hand, with cult-like support rivaling David Koresh & Charlie Manson that the "Anointed One" has generated, I do not put anything past them in advancing their socialist agenda.
If the birth certificate is legal and can be verified - he should produce it and put an end to this circus-like spectacle of challenges...
One last tidbit for you to chew on.... what if the birth certificate in question is a fraud?A partial listing and status update for several of the cases surrounding Obama's eligibility to serve as president is below:
- Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania Democrat, demanded that the courts verify Obama's original birth certificate and other documents proving his American citizenship. Berg's latest appeal, requesting an injunction to stop the Electoral College from selecting the 44th president, was denied. But the conference on the case is set Jan. 9.
- Leo Donofrio of New Jersey filed a lawsuit claiming Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court but denied a full hearing.
- Cort Wrotnowski filed suit against Connecticut's secretary of state, making a similar argument to Donofrio. His case was considered in conference by the U.S. Supreme Court, but was denied a full hearing.
- Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes headlines a list of people filing a suit in California, in a case handled by the United States Justice Foundation, that asks the secretary of state to refuse to allow the state's 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office. The case is pending, and lawyers are seeking the public's support.
- Chicago attorney Andy Martin sought legal action requiring Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle to release Obama's vital statistics record. The case was dismissed by Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Bert Ayabe.
- Lt. Col. Donald Sullivan sought a temporary restraining order to stop the Electoral College vote in North Carolina until Barack Obama's eligibility could be confirmed, alleging doubt about Obama's citizenship. His case was denied.
- In Ohio, David M. Neal sued to force the secretary of state to request documents from the Federal Elections Commission, the Democratic National Committee, the Ohio Democratic Party and Obama to show the presidential candidate was born in Hawaii. The case was denied.
- In Washington state, Steven Marquis sued the secretary of state seeking a determination on Obama's citizenship. The case was denied.
- In Georgia, Rev. Tom Terry asked the state Supreme Court to authenticate Obama's birth certificate. His request for an injunction against Georgia's secretary of state was denied by Georgia Superior Court Judge Jerry W. Baxter.
- California attorney Orly Taitz has brought a case, Lightfoot vs. Bowen, on behalf of Gail Lightfoot, the vice presidential candidate on the ballot with Ron Paul, four electors and two registered voters.
Private investigator Douglas Hagmann of Homeland Security US reported earlier he found 13 cases challenging Obama's eligibility still active or semi-active.
What if, through these filings, the Supreme Court KNOWS Obama is not eligible to be POTUS but is thinking of the socialist shit-storm they will cause should they rule his election null and void?

Obama's support of Civil Disobedience could lead to declaration of Martial Law
If below ever came true - and it is a very realistic possibility - all the anti-gun freaks will be running for a gun owner's home looking for protection...
From National Terror Alert --
A new report by the U.S. Army War College talks about the possibility of Pentagon resources and troops being used should the economic crisis lead to civil unrest, such as protests against businesses and government or runs on beleaguered banks.
“Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security,” said the War College report.
U.S. Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., and U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., both said U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson brought up a worst-case scenario as he pushed for the Wall Street bailout in September. Paulson, former Goldman Sachs CEO, said that might even require a declaration of martial law, the two noted. More...
You don't believe it may happen? On a small scale and too the delight of all the "Say it ain't so" Socialist Sparky's on the left, the civil unrest has already started and Obama played a major roll. Remember, when Barack first started building his Obamadom he was a community activist - now he is the most famous community activist.
Yes, President-elect Barack O'socialist-dogma, in joining up with the previously most famous community activist, Rev. Je$$e "Blackmail" Jackson, has recently encouraged civil unrest as a way of mediating problems.
Earlier this month we all heard about the IL company, Republic Window & Door, suddenly closing shop and not paying the employees vacation time and severance pay. The reason behind it -- the company claimed they were broke and the owner could not get anymore credit from Bank of America. When he closed the shop with only 3 day notice, 200 employees with the support of their union, staged a "sit-in" at the factory lasting nearly a week.
The workers demanded to be paid for the required 60 day notice they did not receive as required by union contract, unused vacation time, any back pay and severance pay. The company and Bank of America were at a standstill in negotiations for more credit and the workers were paying an added price of being out of work with no money coming in. So, I agree something needed to be done.
While Mr. President-elect "Share the Wealth" could have just given them all a check from his bloated campaign fund - (I am sure their union dues bought quite a few yard signs) and ended the "sit-in," Obama, still not understanding the power of the office he will hold, offers this in support of the workers....
"When you have a financial system that is shaky, credit contracts. Businesses large and small start cutting back on their plants and equipment and their work forces.
"So, number one, I think that these workers, if they have earned their benefits and their pay, then these companies need to follow through on those commitments. Number two, I think it is important for us to make sure that, moving forward, any economic plan we put in place helps businesses to meet payroll so we are not seeing these kinds of circumstances again." (Chicago Sun Times)
Notice anything missing from Obama's remarks? How about - GO HOME!
He should used his ever-so talented silver tongue and encouraged the employees to go home and be with their families. He should have told them he will personally see to it that both sides work out a fair, equitable and fiscally sound agreement for the workers in a timely fashion. Bank of America eventually reached a deal with the workers - even though they were not legally obligated.
When Barack should have acted presidential he instead chose to act like a community activist and encouraged civil disobedience for dealing with the same type crisis ( insert famous monkey-see/monkey-do theory here) the U.S. Army War College, Sen. Inhofe & Rep. Sherman warn about above. It would have the lefty's thrilled spitless if Barack "O-what the hell do I do now-ama" was forced to declare martial law?
On the other hand... many on the left are due an ass-kicking from our soldiers they have been slamming for so long!
Bill Clinton releases Donor List for William J. Clinton Foundation
From Open Secrets --
At the Center for Responsive Politics, we've asked former presidents for years to disclose the names of donors to their presidential libraries, which can accept unlimited contributions from anyone. It appears that all it takes to spur an ex-president to action is the appointment of his spouse to be Secretary of State. The William J. Clinton Foundation, which funds the former president's library in addition to his other charitable initiatives, today disclosed all donors back to 1997. Here were some of our observations in looking over the list of more than 200,000 contributors:
- Superstars of the Hollywood variety (Steven Spielberg and Barbra Streisand) and tech variety (Bill Gates) were among the most generous donors. Spielberg gave between $500,001 and $1 million out of pocket (the totals are listed in ranges), while both Streisand and Gates gave through their foundations, at least $1 million and at least $10 million, respectively. MTV and Starbucks also played politics, with the broadcast network giving at least $100,001 and the coffee company giving at least $50,001.
- Bill Clinton might be able to relate to the donors who feel that they'll never quite escape controversy. Denise Rich, ex-wife of fugitive financier Marc Rich, who received a controversial pardon from Clinton right before he left office, gave at least $250,001, and trial lawyer William Lerach, who is serving prison time for his law firm's illegal payback scheme to plaintiffs, gave the foundation at least $100,001.
- While everyone on the list clearly eventually liked Bill Clinton, they might not have always liked him or felt the same about his wife. Media tycoon Richard Mellon Scaife spent big money to discredit the Clintons while they were in the White House, but Scaife gave at least $100,001 to Bill Clinton's foundation. The late trial lawyer Fred Baron gave at least $500,001, but was a big supporter during the 2008 presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton's primary-season opponent John Edwards. The foundation has also collected at least $50,000 from William Daley, co-chair of fundraising efforts for Barack Obama's inauguration.
- Big Democratic donors Steve Bing and Peter Lewis both made the list. Bing, an entertainment executive, gave the library at least $10 million, while Lewis, who founded Progressive Insurance, gave at least $500,001.
- And, of course, individuals who worked for Bill Clinton in the White House pitched in. Both former chiefs of staff Thomas F. McLarty and Erskine Bowles gave at least $50,001. Health care czar Ira Magaziner, too, donated at least $50,001.Click on this file to see an Excel spreadsheet of 500 contributors reported to have given at least $500,001: Clinton Foundation Top Donors.xls
Getting Stimulated By all this Stimulus Talk.
With a president elect encouraging this and reminding them “Don’t forget anyone of your constituents get it all in their, this is it. The big one, the one we’ve been waiting for we’re going to soak em for all they got”. In the words of my grandfather Pluchino “It’s the Era of The Last Great Big Spenders”. And they are off and running, tripping over themselves to get in the treasury vault.
I would like to present my thoughts on all of these jackals one group at a time. Have you got a minute?
Let’s see what Ali Obama and his forty thieves have in store for us. I hate to say this but it hurts so much inside I have to get this off my chest first. The UAW and it’s active members: This one really hurts because my father-in-law and two of his bother’s are retired Ford Motor Company lifers. But what in the hell are the UAW and all of their minions doing begging the senate for welfare, have they lost every ounce of their pride. This is coming from the same “union” thugs that show up in Alabama, Tennessee and any other state with non-union auto workers to picket and protest with their giant inflatable “Rats” and signs to degrade the core values, and mock the efforts of their fellow Americans. On the sole issue, they won’t sign the union pledge cards to support Mr. Stinkfinger (aka Gettofinger) and his hoard of 15,000 freeloaders in the jobs bank. Do we owe the UAW and it’s workers their own little personal welfare system? They seem to think so.
Don’t you think that practices like this need to end? Well they won’t, not till we have leaders to tell the auto company and their employee’s “Tow the line or get in the other line for government cheese with the rest of the “RATS”.
But let’s get this strait the domestic auto industry isn’t failing because of the workers it’s failing due to union greed and government standards but we all know that. We have allowed a congress full of used car salesmen to impersonate auto executives in their sick land of make believe. But that land of make believe is on the verge of being our reality and can you imagine what they will try to force GM and the others to produce once they have control oops… I mean once they float 'em a loan. Our government is in the process of laying out the ground works for a totally different and useless auto industry and the media is hailing it as “auto rescue”.
Now I also wanted to start my ranting and raving with the auto industry also because it goes hand and hand with this little jewel of contradiction the Green Army {Green Army in honor of their brethren that served Stalin and still serve Putin today in the Red Army}.
The environmentalists, the ever present fifth column of our government along with Obama have been leading the charge of investing in our country’s “infrastructure”. And being in the business I hear him loud and clear every time he opens his pie hole on this topic. But I only have one question for you. If they want to eliminate all off shore drilling, not allow any drilling in ANWAR{Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska}, and minimize the importing of oil from foreign sources. What the hell do you think we will be driving on all these fancy new roads?
They tell us that our vehicles are contributing to global warming, I’m sorry global warming that’s so yesterday. Climate Change that’s the new mantra, we call it the four seasons of the year where I come from but let’s just go along for shits and giggles. They want us all in electric cars that can go 40 miles on a charge and to ride mass transit. But at the same time whistle a tune about investing in new roads from coast to coast to the sum of over $100,000,000,000 {I just like writing out that big number, it’s like saying a zillion when you were a kid}.
Boys I’m here to tell you, these fools look one way but paddle another and when they crash the canoe we are all going to sink with 'em.
I’ll leave you with one last nugget from my thoughts about the infrastructure portion this stimulus fraud being committed on us. Ali Obama and the forty thieves said they wanted to spend gobs of tax money on weather striping doors and installing new light bulbs in all of the public schools. Well how many, democrats does it take to change a light bulb.
Your fellow American and friend in the struggle.

From USA Today --
W. Mark Felt, the former FBI second-in-command who revealed himself as "Deep Throat" 30 years after he tipped off reporters to the Watergate scandal that toppled a president, has died. He was 95.
Felt died Thursday in Santa Rosa after suffering from congestive heart failure for several months, said family friend John D. O'Connor, who wrote the 2005 Vanity Fair article uncovering Felt's secret. More....
Fast forward to today.... one of Obama's minions break into the State of Ohio computer system and gets a slap on the wrist!
Steaming Load Award #2: Mexifornia Hall of Fame gives our veterans, our honored dead, the finger
From Politically Incorrect Gazette --
Steaming Load #2: Mexifornia Hall of Fame gives our veterans, our honored dead, the finger.
When she’s not guarding The Terminator’s detached nads, Mexifornia First Lady, Maria Shriver, perpetrates such things as the California Museum’s California Hall of Fame. Shriver created this blight in 2006 and is still an active participant.In theory, this Mexifornia Hall of Fame exhibition allows the museum to ‘tell the narrative of California’s biggest names to be told in innovative and engaging ways’. No harm, no foul? Yes, and no. It’s no harm where most of the 2008 inductees are concerned: musician Dave Brubeck, author Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, sculptor Robert Graham, record producer Quincy Jones, fitness guru Jack LaLanne, photographer Dorothea Lange, architect Julia Morgan, actor Jack Nicholson, scientist Linus Pauling, California founding father Leland Stanford and chef Alice Waters.
There is, however, that other inductee, Hanoi Jane Fonda. Her induction is a bitch slap to every Vietnam Vet, every right-thinking American, everyone who thinks this great nation is worth defending. PIGster BroIN said it all when he wrote:
Probably one of the biggest traitors in our life time and responsible for God knows how many people's deaths during the Vietnam War has been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. The transition from The Greatest Generation to The
Airhead Generation is just about complete....
What ‘innovative and engaging’ elements will be included in Hanoi Jane’s display? That anti-aircraft gun she posed on? A photo of her pissing on the Vietnam War Memorial? The only innovative and engaging element that expresses our attitude about Hanoi Jane is the world’s largest one finger salute.
It’s time to flush this traitor down the crapper.
Steaming Load Award #1: Mexifornia Elected Tormentors give taxpayers, and the state constitution the finger
Steaming Load #1: Mexifornia Elected Tormentors give taxpayers, and the state constitution the finger.
The central fact of political life in Mexifornia is that the state’s Demoncrats fall a few seats short, in both chambers of the state legislature, from having a two-thirds majority. Normally, lacking that built-in two-thirds is no big deal, but, there is one situation where, per the state constitution, a two-thirds vote of the legislature is required: raising taxes.This week, the Mexifornia Demoncrats are making an end run around this pesky clause in the constitution. Unable to make the Elephant Clan ‘do the right thing’ - Demoncrat code for making the taxpayer ‘pay’ for the Demoncrat majority’s unrelenting spending binge - they hit upon a nifty scheme.
Instead of raising "taxes", the Demoncrats will avoid that two-thirds vote nightmare with word games. How? They will impose a mountain of new "fees", a task they can accomplish with a simple majority vote. The key distinction between ‘fee’ and ‘tax’ is, how the money is spent. A tax goes into the general fund and can be used for anything in the state budget. A ‘fee’ is imposed to fund one particular budget item. For example, a ‘fee’ on cars might pay for the roads.
The Demoncrats will pretend that the new ‘fees’ will go, exclusively, to the designated stated budget line item, but nobody is foolish enough to take them at their word. These turds can’t control their spending addiction and have no intention of giving it the old college try. Instead, they will run this ‘fee’ scam up the Sacramento flagpole to see if anyone will salute. If this scheme works, it will open the spending floodgates so wide, the ensuing Mexifornia debt will make the infamous national debt seem like chump change.
Mexifornia is too far gone to save. It’s time to do the right thing and flush this left coast blight out of the USA. Let Mexico have it back, since it has the requisite experience wrangling turds of this magnitude.
Girlieman of the Week - NY Governor David Paterson
Girlieman of the Week
Date Awarded: December 19, 2008
Girlieman: N.Y. Governor David Paterson
Antics: He can’t take it.
The non-negotiable fact of Elected Tormentor life is that, sooner or later, someone is going to make you the butt of a joke. The higher on the political ladder you climb, the more allegedly-humorous hits you take. It’s demonstrably true for the likes of Juan McCain, Vicente W. Bush, Dick "Darth" Cheney, Teddy "The Swimmer" Kennedy, Bubba & Hillary, and, especially Sarah "I’m hotter than Tina Fey" Palin.That Elected Tormentor bull’s-eye is affixed to all comers, but some handle it better than others. That brings us to NY Governor David Paterson, who is determined to cloak himself in Messiah Barry class joke punch-line immunity. He’s blind and, he insists, that aspect of his life should be off-limits. The folks at Saturday Night Live, beg to differ.
The skit -- which aired on Saturday [December 13] -- featured SNL actor Fred Armisen as Paterson, who is faced with the task of appointing someone to replace Sen. Hillary Clinton. Armisen said he was looking for three characteristics in candidates for the job: economic experience, upstate influence and someone who is disabled and unprepared for the job -- like himself. The actor then held up a chart illustrating the state's job losses upside down.
"Come on, I'm a blind man who loves cocaine who was suddenly appointed governor of New York, which is an actual plot from a Richard Pryor movie," Armisen said in the skit. (Fox News)
The Paterson bit was a running gag, throughout the show, that had him, blundering around in the background during the SNL news skit. It was fun stuff, and the kind of thing that an Elected Tormentor should expect. Obviously, Paterson - and his minions - didn’t get the memo on that element of political life.
"The governor engages in humor all the time, and he can certainly take a joke. However, this particular Saturday Night Live skit unfortunately chose to ridicule people with physical disabilities and imply that disabled people are incapable of having jobs with serious responsibilities. The governor is sure that Saturday Night Live with all of its talent can find a way to be funny without being offensive. Knowing the governor, he might even have some suggestions himself." (Paterson spokeshole, Errol Cockfield)
In other words, we think it's much funnier when you use Bush, Cheney, Palin and McCain for target practice.
For being so thin-skinned...for his failure to understand that, where political humor is concerned, everything about him is fair game...for trying to hide behind the ‘disability’ card, New York Governor David Paterson is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.

Reason # 947, 329 on why some people should NOT be allowed to breed!
From Fox News --
No one else in the world would be stupid enough to name their kid that you half-witted F-tard!The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance.
Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the nearby ShopRite, but also with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article about the cake.
Heath Campbell, who is 35, said in an interview Tuesday that people should look forward, not back, and accept change.
"They need to accept a name. A name's a name. The kid isn't going to grow up and do what [Hitler] did," he said.Heath Campbell said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name."
On the other hand, the father is right... a name is a name. So me calling him and his wife - "a**holes unfit to raise, and undeserving of having children," he should not be upset. ShopRight should be applauded, but you know some blood-sucking, litigating leech of a lawyer will convince them to sue as their rights to being a couple of a**holes were violated.
As the idiot parents have every right to name their children as they wish - the store has every right to refuse them service. The names of the couples other children....
JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.
Obama - TIME 2008 Person of the Year
Not satisfied that the biggest scam in the history of The United States (I am not talking about Madoff either - that is peanuts compared to this scam) was fully complete - this should be the cake topper.TIME Ragazine has named the "Anointed One," President-elect Barack "Tricked Ya" Obama, The 2008 Person of the Year!
The only thing they are missing is he is able to part oceans & fart wrapped slices of cheese!Mr Obama was awarded the title "for having the confidence to sketch an ambitious future in a gloomy hour," said the US-based magazine. It said he showed "the competence that makes Americans hopeful he might pull it off".
Recent winners have included Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the American soldier and the online public.
Time told readers it was "unlikely that you were surprised to see Mr Obama's face on the cover".
"He has come to dominate the public sphere so completely that it beggars belief to recall that half the people in America had never heard of him two years ago.
"He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking order."
Mr Obama has featured on the magazine's cover 15 times in the past two years.
Hit the American scene like thunderclap by coming out of obscurity... LOL! Yeah, and there is another "clap" that comes out of a heavy night of drinking and the obscurity of a dark backseat too!
The award is probably the only time Obama will ever be honored in any way with the soldiers of our country. But being lumped with Vlad & the on-line community as previous Person of the Year, now that is something! Putin is going to be Biden's warning come true and be the country/leader that challenges Barack as President. As for the on-line community surfing what can be considered the electronic skid marks in the shorts of life, well they are made up of a bunch of left-leaning morally misfitted moron's. Except for the few smart conservatives on-line.
Yes, Obama being elected in the single biggest scam ever to be pulled on the American public. So far after only having lunch in the White House, Obama has backed off almost every campaign promise he has made. Campaigning on "Change," he has already changed his mind about "change" by appointing many retread, Clinton-era flunkies and Clinton herself.
TIME should have named the American public who voted for Obama - 2008 Suckers of the Year!
More Hypocritical Bigotry from the Plain Dealer & Connie Schultz
This time old leather face Schultz has her big old Betsy bloomers in a bunch over the SNL skit about New York Governor David Patterson. The SNL skit took aim at Patterson being blind among other things.
I agree it is not right to make fun of a person being blind, but Patterson routinely makes light of his being blind. In other words – he is comfortable with it and has learned to accept it. Not to mention that his blindness never stopped him from being a coke-snorting whoremonger while he was married or from becoming a politician. But old “Save the Day” Schultz still feels the need to protect him.
Why does Connie “I sleep with a Senator” Schultz feel the need to defend him? Because Schultz defending Patterson is a like a MSM Grand Slam in the bottom of the ninth at the World Series with two outs and you’re down by three. He is black, a democrat, former cokehead, cheats on his wife and is handicapped. For a liberal - what the hell more can you ask for!
Acknowledging the SNL skits on Palin by stating, “SNL portrayed her as a perky little loon,” Schultz, in attempts to defend her position of not defending Palin - but defending Patterson, enlightens us with how targets of humor should be chosen…
When it comes to picking targets for humor, I am reminded of what New York Times ethics columnist Randy Cohen told me in a 2002 interview, in which he described the philosophy of his former boss, David Letterman:"[W]e are free to attack what is volitional, but not those things over which a person has no control."
Huh… not attack someone for something over which they have no control - let’s remember that. I guess women should all have a dour mug like Schultz, lest any women showing an outgoing & positive attitude - be labeled a “perky little loon.”
In her hypocritical, politically correct, liberal puss-filled prose, Schultz claims stereotypes are harmful…
Time for a few deep breaths. The skit was tasteless and unfair, but it did not set the national agenda for the disabled. It might, however, provoke a national conversation about harmful stereotypes.
Before I hang Schultz and the PD on the “You’re a Hypocrite Hook,” I need to say this… Schultz proves why it so fun to play with liberals and Democrats – if you let them run their mouth about their “pick & choose” policies of what “Special Class” or “Flavor of the Month” ethnicity they should defend – their hypocritical bigotry usually shines through.
Schultz has stated people should not be picked on over something they have no control and stereotypes are harmful – right?
Then why no column about stereotypes being bad when her editors allowed Jeff Darcy to draw a cartoon implying that all Italians are members of the Mafia? How come no column expressing outrage when her editors published the picture & poem from Andrea Levy inferring ALL white people are racist and members of lynch mobs?
So Schultz is either A.) exposing herself as a hypocrite or B.) accusing her editors of being close-minded, hypocritical bigots. Which one is it Connie?
The facts will bear out that the answer is A & B!

Ohio House Lame-Duckocrats Resist Supporting our Troops & Restoring Voting Integrity
Passed (54-42) was a bill that would give bonuses to soldiers who served in the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan. Pretty much a no-brainer right? Nope - the democrats are mad the Republicans want to pay for the bonuses with money that we currently have. The democrats - allergic to pay as you go - want to sell bonds.
In what would have appeared to be a bi-partisan olive branch, the Republicans offered help to SOS Brunnehilda in cleaning up the election laws she was complaining about. Plus they also wanted to restore integrity in the voting process by eliminating the "Anyone Can Vote Week" (AKA - Golden Week).
From the PD
The bill would eliminate a "Golden Week" window in which citizens can register to vote and cast absentee votes at the same time. It would push the start of early voting from 35 days before the election to 20 days and require absentee voters to fully complete ballot envelope statements to be counted. Election observers would also be allowed to watch voting at all times.Dominoes? I agree! Once one illegally registered voter was knocked over, thousands more fell!
House Speaker Jon Husted, a Dayton-area Republican, told reporters the bill was merely intended to implement recent Supreme Court rulings as well as clean up elections law that Brunner has said needs clarification.
But Rep. Dan Stewart, a Columbus Democrat, called the legislation "the wrong bill at the wrong time" and quoted the testimony of a handful of election law experts who all questioned why the bill should be passed now. "It's like dominoes: Everything you do then changes something else," Stewart said.
The "Golden Week" created chaos for county election boards. If I remember correctly - this is when Obama's nuts - ACORN - were out registering the same people 5, 6, 10, 25, 72 times! Didn't having to check, verify & reject tons of illegal voter registrations cause undue hardships on BOE's throughout Ohio? WE can only guess the added costs incurred from the extra man hours these verifications took.
So please 'splain Rep. Stewart - since nothing else is going on and it's supposed to be a lame-duck session - why is this not a good time to pass sound & sensible legislation? If now is bad - when is the time good? Is it when the dems have control of the House?
If they make it through Senate, Reverend Ted has stated he will veto the bills. So it goes business as usual for good government in Ohio - it doesn't happen!
A Ponzi Scam Paradise
I believe I was about 8yrs old when I first learned what a pyramid scam was and have witnessed a ton of them work. Well, they work for only so long. Their are two rules of thumb when getting suckers for pyramid scams - make sure they are smart and greedy. The smarter they are - the easier mark they make.
Blinded by their greed and thinking they were too smart to be taken, Madoff had perfect marks. Throw in a complete breakdown at the SEC and Madoff had a Ponzi Paradise...
Credible and specific allegations regarding Madoff's financial wrongdoing going back to at least 1999 were repeatedly brought to the attention of SEC staff, said Cox.
Damaging the SEC's credibility in the Madoff case was the fact that a securities executive, Harry Markopolos, complained to the SEC's Boston office in May 1999. Markopolos told the SEC staff they should investigate Madoff because Markopolos felt it was impossible for the kind of profit he was reporting to have been gained legally.

Crucifix Banned in British Prison
From Fox News --
A British prison has decided not to include a crucifix in the décor of its new chapel for fear of offending Muslim inmates.
The ‘multi-faith space’ at HMP Lewes is divided in two sections, according to the Daily Mail. One half-features heated footbaths for Muslim worshipers; the other side, dedicated to Christian prayer, features a removable altar and a plain wooden cross – also removable.
Plans to include the traditional Christian crucifix were erased from the chapel’s blueprints on the advice of a Muslim imam, the Daily Mail reported.
“We see this as a vastly improved facility and very much welcome the fact that the prison has an imam.” Amanda Hamblin, chair of the prison’s Independent Monitoring Board told the Mail.”
A source from the prison disagreed, reportedly telling the Mail, “It’s just the normal PC brigade poking its nose in when it isn’t needed.”
The Muslims get heated foot baths - the Christians get two pieces of wood - how about that for tolerance! But of course NOBODY would dare offend a muslim - at least if they don't want an Allah-seeking, explosive-belt wearing jihadikaze at the next mass
If the 'multi-faith space' is divided - what is wrong with a Crucifix? As a Roman Catholic - a wooden cross means nothing for me. But as we all know, for many here in the US and those abroad, attacks on Christianity have been the flavor of the day for quite some time now!

Bill of Rights Day
From Buckeye Firearms Association --
As the old saying goes, “if you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any”.
In today’s society of hustle and bustle one really doesn’t take the time to really think about what their rights are. We take these rights for granted. Just about everyone knows what the First Amendment to the Constitution is, freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and freedom to petition the government, the Second is the right to bear arms and the Fifth Amendment is the right to trial by jury, double jeopardy, self-incrimination and due process of the law.
There is a bumper sticker that says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher". Well, if you didn't know the date of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, blame the National Education Association (NEA).
Just how many amendments are there to the Constitution? When was the original Bill of Rights ratified? How many are there? I’m sure there are some that already know that the original Bill of Rights was ratified on December 15th, 1791 and that there were 12 original Amendments in it, but only 10 of those were ratified by the states by 1791. Our Founding Fathers put great thought and planning in these original 10 Amendments and since its inception in 1791 to today there has only been 17 more added for a grand total of 27 amendments to our Constitution. These basic rights include everything from the freedom of religion to women’s right to vote to search and seizure.
The foresight of our Founding Fathers and the adoption of the Bill of Rights laid the foundation that made our victories in the legislature and courts this year possible.
On this honorable day take a few minutes to read our Bill of Rights and think how great our founding fathers were to be able to see far into the future of this Great Nation. Without this Bill of Rights we would be still living the same way as our founding fathers did before they came to this land.
Every newspaper in our state ought to be recognizing Bill of Rights Day. One can only determine that the Freedom of Speech must also include the Freedom to Not Speak.
To read our Bill of Rights go here.
Wind Power in Iran, 3300 BC
I found this very interesting...
From Persian Journal --
Ancient Persian kilns used wind power
Iranian archeologists have found that ancient inhabitants of the country's southern Darestan region used wind power in their kilns. “Being located near Lut Desert, where wind blows constantly and in fixed directions, had caused the prehistoric inhabitants of the area to use wind as a reliable source of energy,” said Darestan archeology-team director Omran Garajian.
“Experts have identified a kiln, which has been constructed in the same direction as the local winds blow. They have also found a fireplace, which seems to have worked with wind power,” Garajian explained, adding, “The structures date back to about 3500 to 3300 BC.”
“Wind power also helped increase the temperature in the kilns used for melting metals,” he added.
Darestan is located some 22 kilometers to the east of the city of Bam, which was devastated by a 6.6-magnitude earthquake in 2003.
The only wind power they have now is the hot air coming from Iranian President Imachickenhead's mouth!

Democrat Senawhores Unable to Deliver the Big Three Auto Bailout for their UAW Pimps
Senators who supported the UAW-backed legislation received nearly 14 times more money, on average, from the union in the last 20 years than those who voted against it--$21,671.29 compared to $1,600.
Car dealers had given 152 percent more money to the senators who voted "nay" Thursday (most of whom were Republicans) than those who voted "yea" ($133,299.17 compared to $52,987.54). More...
Here is the roll call on the votes.
Buckeye State bailout lover's, Senator George RINOvich & Senawhore Sherrod Brown, voted for the legislation. RINOvich, as can only be expected, jumped ship with 10 other RINOcan senators and voted with the democrats.

My Favorite Sheriff
The top law dog for Maricopa County (AZ) & 2007 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Sheriff Joe is always busting the burrito biting border-jumpers, has ordered inmates to wear pink, has started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination, cut off all but G-Rated movies for inmates and pipes in lectures by Newt Gingrich just to name a few.
Now Sheriff Joe has ordered no more free room service for visitors at his gray bar hotel...
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says jail inmates will start paying for their own meals starting next month in a move that could save taxpayers more than $900,000 annually in food costs.
A policy charging inmates for food was authorized by the Legislature in the late 1990s, but Arpaio said he stopped requiring them to pay when he started charging for visits to medical professionals. (AZ Star Net)

Holy Ohio Elephant Clan Crap!
I read this over at Naugblog today... (emphasis added)
I almost fell over when I first read it!Kevin DeWine's 2009 Salary...$245,000Keep that in mind when if you are unlucky enough to receive an Ohio GOP fundraising email.
With Deputy Chairman DeRINO slated to make that kind of money as our possible next chairman, you would think - he would think twice - about describing the basic values of our party as "distracting social issues." Remarks like this are creating quite a stir among the rank & file members and has caused future leaders in our party to question DeWine's abilities and suitability as a future leader for our party.
Even if he, DeWine, would earn a salary of $1.00 - I could not agree with them more! At $245,000 a year - give me a break - he is part of the problem!
Notice I said - slated and possible...
One could only hope the State Central Committee members responsible for electing the next leader of the Ohio Elephant Clan will give strong consideration about DeRINO's stated desire of moving away from our core values.
I wonder what chairmen at the county levels pull in? If you know what your county chairman makes (Democrat or Republican) let me know.
Here's a spiffy idea... performance based pay for State & County Chairmen.
The Grinch Report -- Find Out Who Hates Santa!
Timber!
If you’re planning to spend some quality time in the lobby areas of Wilson Library or Davis Library on the campus of University or North Carolina - Chapel Hill, you might detect an egregious lack of festiveness. Where, you ask, are those lovely Christmas Trees and ornaments which have always been there to welcome visitors during the Christmas Season? Where indeed.
Caving in to the relentless caterwauling from UNC Grinches on the library staff, Sarah Michalak, associate provost for the university libraries, left them in cold storage, this year....
Their Supernaturalism Trumps Your Nativity Play
Citing the Mecca Maniac festival of Eid, the scumbags running a Brit Primary School, Greenwood Junior School, thrilled the socks of the mums and dads of their young charges. They dropped their Grinch Bomb in a letter to the parents of their young charges:
"It is with much regret that we have to cancel this year’s Christmas performances....

HoR's who approved Auto Bailout practice Pay to Play
From Open Secrets --
Members of the House of Representatives who approved a $14 billion cash infusion for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors on Wednesday night have received more campaign contributions, on average, from the automotive industry during their careers than those who opposed the rescue, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has found. The 237 who got the bill passed have received $87,063.44 on average from auto dealers, automakers and auto unions since 1989, while the 170 who voted against it received, on average, $80,756.80.
Because of the industry's Republican leanings, even Republicans who voted against lending the automakers' money Wednesday had received more money than Democrats who supported the bridge loan. Republicans' grip on the industry is loosening, however. In the 2008 cycle, the Big Three's PAC and individual contributions flipped to the side of the party that controls Congress. Auto unions remain solidly Democratic.
House Democrats, who overwhelmingly supported the bill, received 44 percent more money, on average, from automakers, unions in the industry and auto dealers since 1989--$79,303.21 compared to $54,951.30 for the 20 Democrats who voted against the bill. The bill's 32 Republican supporters collected 62 percent more than opponents in their party--$136,777.44, versus $84,197.53 for the 150 Republicans who voted against the bailout package. (The Center for Responsive Politics has coded campaign finance data by industry back to the 1990 election cycle, or the calendar year 1989.)
Overall the automotive industry has given $16.1 million to all federal candidates, parties and committees in the 2008 election cycle, with 72 percent going to Republicans. Little of that money, however, was directed to members on the finance committee shaping the bailout legislation, according to the Center's findings. More...
Bailout Bums were largest donors for Political Conventions
From Open Secrets --
Weeks before they turned to the federal government for rescue, companies such as AIG, Ford, Citigroup and Freddie Mac were among the biggest sponsors of the summertime political conventions that nominated Barack Obama and John McCain for president, according to a new analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, in collaboration with the Campaign Finance Institute. CFI's full study can be found at www.cfinst.org.
Embattled insurance giant American International Group (AIG), which received an $85 billion loan from the government just weeks after the GOP convention, gave $750,000 to each gathering. And AIG isn't the only high-profile company that sought a handout from taxpayers after writing a big check toward the summer's political gatherings. Others included Citigroup (which spent a total of $600,000 on the conventions), Goldman Sachs (which spent $505,000), Ford Motor Co. ($100,000 to each convention) and Bank of America (which spent $100,000, entirely on the Democratic convention). The federal government took over Freddie Mac just weeks after the mortgage buyer split half a million dollars between the two conventions. More...
Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff Hiring Illegal Aliens
From ALIPAC --
Every few weeks for nearly four years, the Secret Service screened the IDs of employees for a Maryland cleaning company before they entered the house of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the nation's top immigration official.
The company's owner says the workers sailed through the checks -- although some of them turned out to be illegal immigrants.
Now, owner James D. Reid finds himself in a predicament that he considers especially confounding. In October, he was fined $22,880 after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators said he failed to check identification and work documents and fill out required I-9 verification forms for employees, five of whom he said were part of crews sent to Chertoff's home and whom ICE told him to fire because they were undocumented.
In addition to the Chertoffs' house, Reid said, his service once cleaned the Washington home of former president Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), now secretary of state-designee, as well as homes of another Bush Cabinet member and Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright. In those cases, he said, his company worked as a subcontractor and billing was done by a larger contractor firm. More...
The Great Canoe Race
Since the Senate told the "Big Three" to Bite the "Big One" - I felt reposting this was fitting...
A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both team practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing an 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering an 1 person rowing.
Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a huge amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat and not enough people rowing.
Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing teams management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners, free pens and scratch pads for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment and extra vacation days for practices, and bonuses.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for the new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next years racing team was out-sourced to India.
(Sadly) The End
Sad, but oh so true! Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. Toyota has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarters results: Toyota makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads.
Girlieman of the Week - Messiah Barry O’Bama
Girlieman of the Week
Date Awarded: December 12, 2008
Girlieman: Messiah Barry O’Bama
Antics: Running for political cover
When Illinois Governor Rob "Lets Make A Deal" Blagojevich landed in the federal investigation hotseat, Elected Tormentors throughout the state started running for cover. The feds barely had time to conclude their news conference, when the flight from Blagojevich turned into a stampede.Leading this headlong flight to "never heard of the bastard and I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup" was that legend in his own mind, Messiah Barry O’Bama. Despite being mentioned on the tapes of Monty Hall Blagojevich as being ungrateful, uncooperative and assorted other things, Messiah Barry mounted a ‘deny, deny, deny’ defense. Eager to cover his own ass, and only his own ass, Barry circled the wagons, very tightly.
Messiah Barry’s spine turned to jello and his nads shriveled up, when faced with this political scandal so close to home. Gutless to the core, he spouted, hard to believe, "I never met him or discussed the open senate seat with him" bull crap.
Messiah Barry’s defense hit a speed bump, when some members of the media asked inconvenient questions about David Axelrod, who is on the record as saying ‘we have met with, talked to’ the governor about Messiah Barry’s replacement. Lacking the stones to tell the truth, Messiah Barry kicked his loyal minion to the curb, forcing him to recant his prior statements.
When faced with his first major political crisis, Messiah Barry went girlie and furtive. When he should have come out swinging, saying "yes I talked to Monty Blagojevich, and I am disgusted by his pay for play politics", he turned into a gutless wonder. This is not the kind of courage we expect from a man who is going to occupy that Oval Office hot seat on January 20.
For showing our enemies that ‘duck and cover’ is Messiah Barry’s response to a crisis...for lacking the balls to be a man during a crisis...for failing his first test of courage so spectacularly, Messiah Barry O’Bama is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.

"Day without a Gay" Movement Bombed - Damn!
The "Day without a Gay" movement gained minimal support and could be considered a failure. I tried showing my support by calling in "gay" to work today.... I was told I would have to prove it with the three other guys that tried the same thing! Work went pretty good today.
Anyway, while some of the radical gay agenda sissy's supported "Day without a Gay" and didn't work today - others showed they can be who they are and do not need to force it down peoples throats....
Paul Ellis, 51, a manager at Cliff's Variety hardware store, said he didn't want his employer to bear the burden of his support.
"My employers have always been there in every possible way. I didn't feel comfortable discomfiting them when they have gone out of their way to be there for me," he said. (Fox News)
Guys like Ellis obviously feel it is more important to be a responsible employee than imposing his lifestyle choice and disrupting the work place. By doing this, Paul shows he is a good employee and not a gay employee! It appears he understands his lifestyle is his lifestyle and not others.
Paul understands a work place is where you supposed to work - not advance the radical gay agenda.

As I witness the undeniable fact that our country is being stolen from the men and women past and present that have traded countless amounts of their blood sweat and tears along with ungodly sums of personal treasure in the pursuit of the boldest endeavor to ever be embarked upon in the history of mankind. I have come to the realization that usurping the principles of the people and destroying the foundation of a governmental philosophy of a country that was developed by men greater then we, is the only goal of these individuals in congress and the tricksters of the United Nations.
A revelation has come to me. Let’s Buy Iceland, and convert this small Island Nation into the world’s foremost economic power. As I am merely the builder of roads and bridges and am not a scholar, I can only offer you the basic concepts and reasoning for such an endeavor.
I. Why Iceland
- Because we squandered our chance at Ireland prior to that country’s implementation of a conservative business model and it’s eventual ascension to the economic leadership of Europe, Iceland will have to due.
- They are on the brink of bankruptcy, so we can have them for pennies on the dollar.
- Centrally located between the America’s and Europe, so that we may exploit their markets as these two regions continue to disassemble their industrial capacity.
- They’re Vikings, they embody the American spirit albeit veiled by many years of socialist control. Plus who better to build a fleet of ships to transport merchandise than a group of hungry Vikings.
- America is an idea formed in the hearts and minds of great men. A pure belief that will prosper anywhere it is planted, defended and preserved.
- To begin the final and complete exposure of the lies that are socialism, Marxism, communism and any other "ism" perpetrated on mankind. (See: Atlas Shrugged).
- Because these sycophants that call themselves politicians aren’t funny anymore they are downright dangerous.
- Have you taken a look around lately and made an honest assessment of the freaks, whiners and indolent screw off’s that are roaming our countryside.
III. Concepts we can take with us that are no longer of value to these Sheeple.
- The Constitution, this is an easy one. They’re not using any longer and it’s just barrier in the way of their construction of a land of tyrannical euphoria.
- Our history and our heritage. It’s no longer studied, honored or evenly given a brief mention. Once we get it out of the lockbox that this country’s educatorhave it hidden in, it will be decades before they notice that it is gone.
- Industrial freedom and self-reliance. By the results of the most recent election do you think they care for either. These are qualities reserved for men with the will and determination no longer present in our average citizen.
IV. Once the Deal is Closed
- A government will need to be established, but this time let’s stick to the model our forefathers risked their lives to create.
- The judicial system won’t be bogged down by social justice, frivolous lawsuits,and the Green Army. So I suggest 4 judges will suffice. Hey Clarence come on and snatched up those other three.
- Education: well the Vikings have a 99.9% literacy rate so let’s give them a chance, but under a close watchful eye. If the focus of education deviates from the three R’s the educators will be introduces to a different set of three R’s that being row,row,row your boat gently off our dream.
- Military: America has the greatest soldiers in the world that over the past 40 years have defended the interest of hippies that spit in their faces as they come home from defending liberty. Do you think we can get a few to defend the values of their forefathers. We should be able to purchase the best weaponsand the brilliant minds that create them once Obama guts the military the way he plans. He plans to cut some of the most advanced weapon systems known to man, sounds like the making of one hell of a deal. Hey Obama we’ll trade you that unproven missal defense system for a year’s worth of carbon credit’s if you throw in the USS Constitution. These carbon credits are extremely valuable but we can part with a few of them.
- Industry: We can easily attract men of like minds with the simple promise of an extremely low tax rate for the sole purpose of maintaining the access roads and harbor’s needed to deliver their goods to the ends of the earth, I can think of no other responsibility that a company could possibly have to the the coffers of a nation then to pay for what it needs and uses.
- Energy: We can simply drill off the Northeastern coast of the United States, if China can do it off the coast of Florida evidently they don’t mind. Also we can have Sarah convince the Canadians to allow a pipeline through the Northern Wilderness the way she sent one south. For energy to fuel the great industrial complex that is sure to form we will build countless nuclear power plants on t the Frozen Tundra. This will be the ideal location because the land is virtually unused and we can melt the precious glaciers to supply the cooling systems. This will serve two purposes to cool the reactors and to eliminate the threat of the glaciers melting due to Global Warming and causing the tides to rise as Al Gore has warned us.
V. For Shit’s and Giggles
- Every court needs a jester, and we should take one liberal with us so we don’t forget what it was that ruined our great nation. And I nominate Barney Frank to be our honorary token liberal. This can not change the fact that each man will have to feed himself and have some industry that he can contribute to. Let’s be honest, a nation with ports of calls needs brothels and even though this queen can ruin the greatest economic system on earth he has a proven track record of running a profitable whore house.
I know this is a far-fetched idea and deserves no merit. But what I do believe is that it is a simple list of basic concepts that are no longer prescribed to by our elected officials. We don’t have to take our show on the road but we damn well better learn how to get these ideas across to a nation that has lost it’s way. We have allowed these degenerates on the left to commit intellectual genocide in our institutions of learning, cripple our industry, destroy our banking, and marginalize the accomplishments of our soldiers. And the worst part is we didn’t even put up a valiant fight.
We can reverse the course that these depraved maniacs have set us on. It’s going to be difficult, and it’s going to require perseverance but it will be easier the reestablishing the great system we inherited from George Washington and the Boys on a block of ice.
Proposed Cost to Snoop-Proof State of Ohio Data Bases -- $100 Million
Subsequently, Gov Strickland, Obama's main man in Ohio, dolled out slaps on the hand for Family Services Director Helen Jones-Kelley and those involved. Even knowing that a rank & file employee was being set up to take the fall - he felt only slap on the hand was appropriate.
Now Ohio's tormented lawmakers, claiming there are no laws against snooping through state data bases, are trying to pass a bill that would allow any employees caught snooping to be fired.
Sound easy enough - right? Come on - we are in Ohio! The cost of this seemingly simple fix - $100 Million!
Daren Arnold, interim chief privacy officer for the state Department of Administrative Services, stunned lawmakers Tuesday with his testimony before the House State Government and Elections Committee.
Arnold's cost estimate of more than $100 million stems from language in the proposal which forces state agencies to record every time they access specific confidential information for a person.
Arnold was unable to pinpoint how much of the $100 million price tag stemmed from costs specifically imposed by the legislation compared to costs arising from a similar state executive privacy order issued by Gov. Ted Strickland in the scandal's wake. Strickland's order, however, doesn't require a log entry every time an employee accesses a database. (Plain Dealer)
This is simply incredible! Incredible that Strickland was allowed to only slap Obama supporter and donor, Family Services Director Kelly-Jones on the hand and unthinkable that she was not charged with a crime.
I do not see where all this hoopla is necessary. The women and those involved obviously broke the law and Republican lawmakers should be calling for charges to be filed instead of wasting time listening to this cock& bull $100 Million flip-off fantasy.
Simply put - if a law enforcement officer accesses state law enforcement data bases for a record search on an individual - it must be for official business or law enforcement purposes. There has been countless cases of officers being charged with Theft in Office when the data bases were accessed for reasons other than official business. So why do lawmakers need to do anything - the law is there! Jones-Kelly, instructed and/or approved the searches on Joe the Plumber for unofficial business.
Jones-Kelly used, or allowed to be used, property of the state to access information belonging to the state - for unofficial business. This adds up to THEFT IN OFFICE not $100 Million!

Another Cleveland Crook
From the PD --
Cleveland City Councilman Robert J. White III resigned Tuesday, a day after being charged by federal prosecutors with accepting a $500 bribe.
White's lawyer, Edward LaRue, said Monday that the 12-year councilman from Ward 2 took the money in exchange for helping to get the city-owned power company to restore electricity to an unidentified business and that White was preparing a guilty plea.
If convicted, White is likely to face some time in prison. The maximum penalty is 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. More...
Calling in "Gay" to Work
From the PD --
Some same-sex marriage supporters are urging people to "call in gay" Wednesday to show how much the country relies on gays and lesbians, but others question whether it's wise to encourage skipping work given the United States' economic distress.
Organizers of "Day Without a Gay" -- scheduled to coincide with International Human Rights Day and modeled after similar work stoppages by Latino immigrants -- also are encouraging people to perform volunteer work and refrain from spending money. More...
The panty-waists want to punish us by not showing up for work and not spending money for the day as a form of protest. Big Deal! Event coordinators came up with this brilliant idea of starving the work place and economy after watching the film, "A Day Without a Mexican."
I got an idea.... the Mexicans and the queers should have their repsective protests on the same day. Then the Mexicans can each take a queer back to Mexico with them! This would kill two birds with one stone!
A Gay Pink Christmas
Now that Cleveland has taken the first step in declaring itself a “sanctuary city” for homo’s and began the Domestic Partner Registry we can be sure they will also increase their efforts in bringing the 2014 Gaylympics here to Cleveland.
I can see it now…. the opening parade, will have a “flamer” skipping down Euclid Ave with the Gay “flame” starting off the games. Talk throughout the weekend will consist of detailed “assalysis” about the technique of “pole” vaulter’s, the 100 “Gay” Skip and many other ass-dallying treats of athleticism.
I bet the 5 man re-gay race and the ass to mouth passing of the batons is sure to have the crowd singing “It’s Raining Men” at the top of their lungs. I don’t even want to think about the javelin throw or the target shooting competition where they use gerbils for ammo!
Well everyone has heard about the slippery slope right? Well how about this sexual “who am I” sled ride for Cleveland down the slippery slope to soon having our own “Pink Christmas.”
A "gay" Dutch group has plans to hijack a traditionally Christian holiday by hosting its own "Pink Christmas" festival – complete with church services and a homosexual Nativity featuring two Josephs and two Marys.How about that – a politically correct Gay Christmas! A Christmas where only men wearing assless leather chaps can sit on their Santa’s lap! You got it Christmas kiddies - the radical gay agenda (RGA) that hijacked “The Last Supper,” now has their sights set on Santa’s rosy-red ass!
Amsterdam's ProGay will put on a 10-day festival with parties, an open-air market, homosexual movies and ice skating…
The leader of Amsterdam’s ass-attack on Christmas, Frank van Dalen, asks Christians to not be offended by this assault on one of our most religious and cherished days of celebration – the birth of Christ…
The live Nativity is scheduled to begin Dec. 21. Van Dalen told the AP that Christians should not take offense to the festival, because it is only intended to be a "wink" at heterosexual assumptions and promote Amsterdam as a "gay" capital.
"Christmas is about more than religion, it's also about love and families, not to mention shopping," he said. "Two men or two women can form a family too these days, even one with a child."
Van Gayboy fails to realize that two men or two women, even with a child, CANNOT & DO NOT form a family in the eyes of the Church. I believe this would go for most recognized forms of organized religion.
As for Christmas being about more than religion... well, he's a gay idiot! Christmas is about religion; it is only because of the yearly attacks like this and the over commercialization of Christmas
You can bet – the fruits of Cleveland – will be asking for this next!

More Attacks on Italians by Plain Dealer Bigots
Once again the PD shows their double standard of bigotry & hate towards people not in a politically correct designated “special class.”
Would you call the below picture racist? If it were used in context with claims of Obama’s socialist, share the wealth – streak would it be racist?

Of course most people would - the picture makes light of black stereotypes in a mean spirited way. And besides, it is now illegal to make fun of Obama anyway.
During the election the PD ran a disgustingly offensive photo towards anyone who is white. In attempts at symbolizing the Civil-Rights struggle and Barack’s impending election, the photo depicted Barack holding scissors cutting the noose from around his, the black man's, neck – as McCain and Palin were shown off to the side.
The PD just recently slams an anti-gay Ohio, but rains down showers of praise on Cleveland’s Clowncil members for their supporting a domestic registry...
Creating a domestic-partnership registry in Cleveland will hardly undo the symbolic and human damage that Ohio voters inflicted on the state when they passed a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in 2004 -- but it would be a start.
By approving a registry that will give both same-sex and opposite-sex couples documentation they can use to navigate public and private bureaucracies, Cleveland can declare that tolerance and openness are qualities that define this community. Given the importance of creativity in the modern knowledge economy, such a welcoming message has never been more important for a city and a region....
So obviously the PD tries to portray themselves as an open-minded publication accepting of all lifestyles, races, religions and ethnicities.
That being said, would you think the below picture represents those qualities in a newspaper?
If you are thinking there is nothing wrong with this above picture – please explain why and how it differs from the Obama picture at the top. Is it OK for the PD to print pictures like this about Italians, but not other ethnic groups?I am not defending anyone IF they did something criminal, but IF they did, should that allow the PD to take shots at their ethnic heritage? Is it responsible for the PD to convict these men in the media – possibly tainting any chance of a fair trial? Is it responsible for the PD to cast a shadow over all Italians – just because we are Italian?
Just like their rendition of "That's Amore," attacks and slights on Italians are routine in the Plain Dealer. Here, once again, the PD takes another shot at Italians…
Immigrants also are having a profound impact on Solon. As the city's Asian community has grown, so, too, has its smart quotient. The Census Bureau found that 57 percent of Solon residents hold at least a bachelor's degree, up from 50 percent in 2000.
Better cannoli and more Catholic schoolchildren are coming to Mentor, where 20 percent of residents now claim Italian ancestry, up sharply from 13 percent in 2000.
And urban ills have seeped into the city of Medina...
Even when they use the politically correct word for an increase of blacks moving into an area - “urban” – no remarks about an increase in “BB-Q Rib Joints.” But when it comes to the Italians increasing in Mentor - they make references of Cannoli’s and Catholic schools.
Most Italians are well aware of the stigma that comes with a vowel at the end of your name – among other things, you are automatically assumed to be in the Mafia. I was lucky enough to not have a vowel at the end of my name, but I can’t hide my dashing, greasy, Italian/Sicilian looks. I just laugh off the – “Wow, you look like you belong in the ‘Soprano’s’” remarks anymore and the, “do you know anyone in the mafia,” question that usually follow.Being a second generation Italian-American, I was raised to laugh at most of this crap.
We Italians know everyone wants to be like us – since they can’t - we become an easy target. I can’t fake anger over every slight of Italians and Sicilians, as I thought Rev. Wrights’
garlic-nosed Italian’s remark was absolutely hilarious. But it is different when it is coming from the murmuring moron’s at the PD.The hypocritical bigots at the PD do nothing but reinforce these stereotypes of Italians, because we are not one of the recognized PC special classes!
Like I stated earlier, most of this stuff I laugh off, but the hook noses at the PD can kiss my big meatball-eating, spaghetti-bending, garlic-smelling Italian/Sicilian ass!

U.S. Rep. William "Cold-Cash"Jefferson Loses Election
He was given a "pass" by voters in 2006 after his scandal broke and re-elected - but not this time.
From Yahoo News --
In a speech that was gracious but stopped short of concession, Jefferson blamed low voter turnout for his showing and said supporters may have thought he was a shoo-in after he won a Nov. 4 primary in the predominantly black and heavily Democratic district.
"I think people just ran out of gas a bit," he said. "People today flat didn't come out in large numbers."
Greg Rigamer, a New Orleans political consultant, said his analysis showed turnout in predominantly white sections of the district was double that in black areas. He said that helped push Cao to victory over Jefferson, who became Louisiana's first black congressman since Reconstruction when he took office in 1991.
Amazing! I guess Jefferson lost because of race - right? Bull!
In light of Obama's election and the black voter turnout for him - I would say the black voters did not turn out for Jefferson because they realized he was a crook!
There was a low black voter turnout because Jefferson gave them no reason to come out and vote for him. Plus I would imagine the black voters lost faith in him. So he lost, not because of the white voters, but because he is most likely a crook and his supporters did not support him.
The black voters not coming out to vote for Jefferson is the same as a vote against him.
CCW Permit Holder Rules eased in some National Parks & Wildlife Refugees
People will now be able to carry concealed weapons in some national parks and wildlife refuges.
The new Interior Department rules allow an individual to carry a loaded weapon in a park or wildlife refuge — but only if the person has a permit for a concealed weapon. The state where the park or refuge is located must also allow guns in parks.
The rule overturns a 25-year-old regulation that has restricted loaded guns in parks and wildlife refuges. The previous regulations required that guns be unloaded and placed somewhere that is not easily accessible, such as in a car trunk.
I would have to advise through experience. Be careful! Some 18 years ago I was driving through Bedford Metro Parks on the way home from some shooting. At the time I my FFL (Class 1) license was in good standing, I had an unloaded .380 locked in the glove box and some other cool guns in the trunk. The ammo was in a shooting bag in the backseat. I was pulled over by a park ranger... with my hands visible, he was immediately informed there were unloaded weapons in the vehicle. He went Barney Fife Ape Shit! Little did I know - you are not allowed to even transport guns through the metroparks. Even if they are secured and being transported in a legal manner.So you don't have to go through the time and money I wasted getting my guns back - remember - make sure to check the park you are going through allows firearms at all - even for CCW permit holders.
Korrectnik Muslims Upset over Lego-Like Terrorist Figure
You are never going to believe this... the muslims are offended - AGAIN!
I swear they are turning into nothing more than a bunch of bomb-strapped korrectnik's. This time they have their turbans twisted over a lego-like action figure named "Bandit - Mr. White."
From Fox News --
The jarring toy has outraged the British Muslim organization known as the Ramadhan Foundation, which called the figurine "absolutely disgusting," according to Sky News.
The foundation's chief executive, Mohammed Shafiq, complained that the toy is "glorifying terrorism."
"I don't think there's any difference between someone that shouts hatred through a megaphone and someone that creates a doll that glorifies terrorists," he told Sky.
"As a parent myself, I'm going to teach my children respect for the law and respect for each and every community. These are the lessons parents should be giving to their children — not lessons about weapons and violence."
Shafiq & his merry band of marauding muslims from the Ramadhan Foundation have not yet taken to the streets burning tires but are obviously upset that a person would even think of teaching or exposing children to this type of toy.
The "Bandit - Mr. White" is no different than the 'army guys' many of us used to play with as kids. The good guys (USA) were green, the Nazi's were grey and the Japs were tan. I caught an earful from my ex when "Little King's" school called to complain about his wanting to play army at recess. Of course the good guys - were the USA and the bad guys the Japs. Needless to say stick guns & supposed ethnic slurs went over like a ton of bricks with the nuns at his school.
Shafiq needs to worry more about his own kind then he does others. While on the surface it appears Shafiq & his Ramadhan Foundation claim to push for tolerance an non-violence to muslims - they are failing miserably.
It is well documented that the MUSLIM terrorists routinely brainwash children into becoming baby terrorists by making heroes out of suicide bombers and children cartoons that glorify killing Zionists and celebrate Jihad.And Elmer thought he had it tough with Bugs's & Daffy!

Two Women Sentenced to Death by Stoning in Iran
Two Iranian women have been sentenced to death in the past week, one by stoning. According to a Women's Forum Against Fundamentalism in Iran (WFAFI) press release in Iran 14 women currently face execution by stoning in Iran, a punishment faced only by those accused of adultery.
According to Agence France Presse, Afsaneh R. and a man called Reza have been charged with adultery and with murder in the death of Afsaneh's husband. Afsaneh was sentenced to death under Iranian law, but since Reza is married, he was pardoned from execution and instead received 15 years in prison for murder and 100 lashes for adultery, according to the Associated Press.
The second death sentence involves a pregnant woman and her husband who have both been sentenced to execution under charges of drug trafficking. According to WFAFI, the couple has no criminal record, come from underprivileged backgrounds and do not have legal counsel.

Iranian Fashion Police at it Again
Iran has been continuing their crackdown against anything considered western or anti-muslim. Believing that any western influence is a sign of subversion,they have flogged people for speeding, they have banned Barbie, outlawed walking your dog, and have taken a hard-line on those ever dangerous coffee shops.
After Iranian President Ahmadinejad's lead man of the fashion police, Brigadier General Ali Reza Zareiwas was arrested after being found in bed with 6 hookers there was a lull in the action.
Once again though, the fashion police are again cracking down on "satanic" clothes...
From Persian Journal --
Police have arrested 49 people this week in a northern Iranian city during a crackdown on "satanic" clothes, IRNA news agency reported on Thursday.
"Police confronted rascals and thugs who appeared in public wearing satanic fashions and unsuitable clothing," Qaemshahr city police commander Mahmoud Rahmani told IRNA.
Rahmani also said that five barber shops were shut and 20 more warned for "promoting Western hairstyles."
It includes measures against men sporting spiky "Western" hairstyles or women wearing tight trousers and high boots.
Steaming Load Award -- Arizona Governor Napolitano
Seeing that my pal is running - or checking - behind, I figured this would be a great time to repost an old Steaming Load Award.
The task now was figuring whose stench rose to the heights of my discriminating load smelling nose. Obama, you ask? No, there are 4 years of his stench coming. I am sure he will fill the ass-throne of aroma with heaps high and often during this time. I'm thinking that our soon to be new head of Homeland Security, the defender and lover of border jumping bandito's, AZ Governor Janet Napolitaco.
This below Steaming Load Award is from 5/16/08 and highlights Napolitaco's, the women Ed Rendell says is surely ugly enough to be head hag at Homeland Security, attacks on 2007 Lawman of the Year - Sheriff Joe Arpaio. By reposting this, I guess that would make Napolitaco a Re-Turd.
From Politically Incorrect Gazette --
Steaming Load #1: Arizona Governor tries to put Sheriff Joe Arpaio out of the border jumping crackdown business.
In March 2007, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s department signed an agreement with the state of Arizona’s Department of Public Safety (DPS). Under this agreement, Sheriff Joe would provide 15 officers to the state gang taskforce’s Illegal Immigration Prevention and Apprehension Co-OP Team (IIMPACT). In return for this manpower, Sheriff Joe’s department would be reimbursed 85% of the deputies’ salaries, including overtime, and associated costs. This win-win situation hit its high water mark in February when DPS Chief Pennie Gillette-Stroud sent a message to the Sheriff’s Office commander:
In the letter, Gillette commended the sheriff's lieutenant, two sergeants and 12 deputies assigned to IIMPACT, saying their performance was "impressive" and that she looked forward to their continued partnership.It was smooth sailing for this arrangement, until May 8, when an executive order perpetrated by a border jumper loving bitch, Governor Napolitano, pulled the plug on Sheriff Joe’s funding and redirected the state’s law enforcement resources elsewhere:
About that time, Arpaio said he received notice from the DPS that the intergovernmental agreement, which was set to expire in mid-May, would be renewed.
All signs were go as of last Wednesday, when the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted to accept IIMPACT money to be given to the Sheriff's Office as part of the continued contract. Arizona Republic)
A letter dated May 8 from DPS Director Roger Vanderpool told Arpaio about the new fugitive task force and invited the Sheriff's Office to take part in the operation. In the last paragraph, Vanderpool said that "limited resources" precluded the DPS from continuing its agreement with the Sheriff's Office and that "we intend to use these monies to fund needed implementation of the executive order."The new ‘task force’ is bull crap that is supposed to delude Arizona’s legal denizens into thinking that the border jumper crackdown is still up and running. The truth is that, with the stroke of this Colonista bitch’s pen, she gave every border jumping scumbag in the state a free pass to plunder the taxpayer and continue their criminal rampage. If you doubt me, keep this in mind: she’s the same Colonista loving bitch who vetoed a bill that would crack down on the state’s border jumping scumbag invaders and those who hire them.
The executive order directs the DPS to immediately deploy a squad to address the backlog of nearly 60,000 open felony warrants statewide, with priority on gang-related felonies and fugitives who are undocumented immigrants. (Arizona Republic)
Despite this betrayal by the bitch who is paid to serve Arizona’s legal denizens, Sheriff Joe vows to continue his efforts to expunge the border jumpers from his jurisdiction. I have no doubts about that, but it’s going to be much harder without financial and manpower support from Arizona’s DPS.
Arizona’s rational, chad-punching adults need to flush this miserable, traitorous bitch out of their misery. If they don’t, they’ll have themselves to blame for the inevitable destruction of their state by the border jumping scumbag invaders swarming over our undefended border.
Teacher Ties Up Black Students to Teach about Slavery
In today's climate it appears the only thing we are allowed to call "black" without being accused of racism is "Black Friday." So why a teacher would think they could "play" slavery with black students for a teaching lesson and everything would be OK leaves me speechless...
A white social studies teacher attempted to enliven a seventh-grade discussion of slavery by binding the hands and feet of two black girls, prompting outrage from one girl's mother and the local chapter of the NAACP. After the mother complained to Haverstraw Middle School, the superintendent said he was having "conversations with our staff on how to deliver effective lessons."
On Nov. 18, Bernstein was discussing the conditions under which African captives were taken to America in slave ships. She bound the two students' hands and feet with tape and had them crawl under a desk to simulate the experience, Monahan and Shand said. Monahan said the girls were not the only blacks in the class. More...
What in the hell could this lady have been thinking? From what I can tell, I do not believe it was done in a racist or hateful way - but how could one not think this would be offensive?
The teacher has apologized but the NY school, Haverstraw Middle School, has refused to state what, if any, action has been taken against the teacher other than to say she has been spoken with. Guess who finds this unacceptable? The parents and I don't blame them.
Obama economic adviser was member of Democratic Socialists of America
From WND --
The man recently appointed to President-elect Barack Obama's economic transition team was a bona fide member of a major U.S. socialist organization, according to literature from the group.
Former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., reportedly being considered for the Labor secretary position in the incoming Obama administration, has had a longstanding close relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization dedicated to transforming America into a socialist society.
Now WND has learned the DSA's official newsletter in 2007 identified Bonior as a DSA member at the organization's Boston branch.
Sparky the Socialist Boner Bonior, who alos serves on Obma's economic transition team, would love nothing more than to create a socialist union out of our border bumping negihbors to the north and south of us...
"How do we democratize this globalization argument (NAFTA)?" Bonior stated at the DSA convention. "One of the ideas we came up with was forming a North American Parliamentary Union. A North America Parliament, with Mexico, Canada and the United States, with people – probably first appointed, but eventually elected like they are in the European Parliament – so we can begin to raise these issues of human rights, civil rights and labor rights and immigration, which never get talked about here.
"The proposed North American Parliamentary Union would be a democratic structure to enfranchise all citizens – farmers, laborers, small business, environmentalists, consumer advocates and others – in the NAFTA countries, as well as, hopefully, Central America ," he said.
Do you Obama voters feel tricked yet?
ACLU accuses Ohio Highway Patrol of Racial Profiling
At issue is our highway patrol law-dogs are doing there job and refuse to stop - you can say the ACLU is just thrilled spitless about this. In fact, the ACLU has asked the OHP to stop performing immigration checks and the OHP said - NO!
From ALIPAC --
OHP Post Commander Lt. Mike Harmon said allegations of racial profiling are false.
"Ashtabula does have a large population of undocumented individuals and just through our normal duties, we have common contact with them and when we do, we follow our division policy," he said. "Our division policy is to contact immigration officials.
"I've met with the groups who were involved in sending us this letter and they asked us to look the other way when regarding immigration issues," he added. "We cannot do that."
Harmon ensured the ACLU that all traffic stops are due to probable cause and during those stops, they are often presented with forged identifications, which is a felony in Ohio.
"We can't look the other way," Harmon said.
How about that folks? Someone in Ohio is doing their job! Though our Public Safety Director, Henry Guzman, is a complete incompetent tool - the men patrolling our highways are proudly doing their duty.
Good Job OHP!

PA Governor Rendell calls AZ Governor Ugly!
Why is it that some men feel if you don't stand up to pee, your somehow unfit for government?
Once again, PA Governor, Ed Rendell, puts his foot in his mouth.
Earlier this year Rendell said PA voters wre not ready to vote for a black president, now he implies that since Gov. Janet Napolitano (AZ) has never found someone to marry and has no children - she will be a capable head of Homeland Security...
From Fox News --
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, known for speaking his mind, was caught on an open microphone saying Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano is a perfect fit for Homeland Security chief because she "has no family."
Rendell made the comment Tuesday while attending a meeting of the National Governors Association in Philadelphia that featured President-elect Barack Obama, who named Napolitano to the position on Monday.
Rendell said Napolitano is "perfect for that job. Because for that job, you have to have no life. Janet has no family. Perfect. She can devote, literally, 19-20 hours a day to it."
If Rendell wants to accuse her of attacking the 2007 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, for doing his job by shipping job-stealing, illegal border-jumping Julio's back over the border - then so be it! But to imply the only reason she is a good choice is because she is ugly enough to look up a bulldog's ass and scare the wrinkles off his forehead - is just uncalled for.
Even though Napolitano IS ugly enough to look up a bulldogs ass and not only scare the wrinkles off his forehead, but scare the snot out of his nose, this has no bearing on her qualifications or selection. She could be hotter than a pre Hep-B Pam Anderson and she would still be a illegal border jumper loving hagster.

Huckabee tells GOP Leaders "Quit Whining"
Out promoting his book, Do The Right Thing, Mike Huckabee pretty much said it was time for our party leaders to look in the mirror as to why we have been getting our behinds handed to us at the polls...
Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee had a message for his party's leadership, still licking its wounds after the November election, as he headed for Cincinnati on Tuesday for a book-signing session: Quit blaming others, and look at yourselves.
You hear these Republicans bragging about not raising taxes, when they've been spending out of control, racking up huge deficits and then kicking the can down the road," the former Arkansas governor told The Enquirer...
For the most part I liked Huckabee, but felt McCain was the best candidate we had that had a shot at winning. Huckabee also agrees McCain had a chance to win.
But Huckabee brings up a good point about why we lost - it is something that the rank & file have been saying for awhile... it is something our party leaders have been mouthing -- but not understanding.
Many blame the losses on social issues, like Ohio GOP Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine, and want to water down our core belief system - but this is NOT the answer - doing the right thing is the answer. Leading like drunken sailors and not being fiscally sound, or better yet - spending like democrats - is what led to our demise...
"Republicans didn't lose because they were social conservatives," said Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher who won the Iowa caucuses in January. "They lost because they have been irresponsible with the taxpayers' money."
That fact, Huckabee said, doomed GOP nominee John McCain and Republicans running for Congress from one end of the country to the other.
"If you advertise one thing and you deliver another, people are going to start reaching for another product off the shelf," he said.
Huckabee said that while "the headwinds were strong against Republicans" in 2008, he thinks McCain had a chance until he suspended his campaign in September to return to Washington to help fashion a Wall Street bailout package. (USA Today)
I agree suspending the campaign was a big, BIG mistake. But McCain returned to fix the mess the Republicans allowed the democrats to put our country in. Again, it was a mistake, but he was cleaning up the mess we allowed.
Injunction Filed to Stop Obama from Taking Presidency
The lawsuit challenging Barack's birth certificate is moving onto the next step...
From WND --
After President-elect Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee let a Dec. 1 deadline slip by without responding to Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg's petition for writ of certiorari demanding Obama produce a legitimate birth certificate, the attorney is now filing a motion to stop Obama from taking office in January.Legitimate or not, this sounds more like a wild goose chase. I don't think Berg stands a snowball's chance in hell. Here is a link to the online petition being circulated by Berg & WND. Currently there are only 144,174 signatures.
Berg has filed an emergency motion for immediate injunction, America's Right blogger and legal writer Jeff Schreiber reports. Berg is asking the court to stop state certification of electors to keep the Electoral College from meeting Dec. 15 and casting votes for Obama. He is also seeking to postpone the official vote count Jan. 6 until the court reaches a decision on his appeal. More...

State Controlling Board halts purchase of New Alcohol/Breath Testing Machines
Again, Carey and the board are having issues with some of Strickland’s’ schleps.
At issue this time are the new breathalyzer machine’s to be purchased by the state. After the State Controlling board approved $6.4 million for the purchase of 700 breath testing machines, the wheels came off and the Controlling Board put the approval on hold...
"I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but I think the process somehow got tangled and we need to get more answers," said board member Sen. John Carey, a Jackson County Republican, who asked that a final decision be delayed at least two more weeks.
The board took the unusual step of allowing more than an hour of testimony from the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the health department -- two agencies defending the out-of-state contract -- before unanimously agreeing to take up the issue again on Dec. 15.
Controlling Board President Joe Secrest said he could not recall when the board has pulled back on an item it had already approved, much less allow testimony from parties urging the board to approve an expenditure. (PD)
At issue is the company making the machines, CMI, Inc., of KY has long time ties with the official from the Ohio Public Safety & Health Dept. who wrote the criteria for the purchase. Out of 17 companies that tried for the no-bid contract – CMI, Inc. ended up being the only one qualified. Pretty much the same way Cuyahoga County did with the questionable purchase of E.S. & S. voting machines earlier this year.
Also a concern is information uncovered by the Plain Dealer showing the accuracy of the Intoxilyzer 8000 is being challenged in thousands of drunk driving cases in the states of FL, AZ & MN. The company refuses to cooperate in any of these proceedings and in some instances cases are being dismissed.
The PD points out that some other disturbing items were uncovered in this testimony...
It was also revealed Monday that the state missed a deadline earlier this year for spending the money -- a three-year federal grant awarded in 2005 -- and nearly lost it.
Joshua Engel, chief legal counsel for the public safety department, acknowledged that the state had failed to spend the money within a time frame set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Public safety Director Henry Guzman asked the NHTSA to reinstate the funds and allow the state an extension until September 2009 to spend it, which was granted. Guzman told the NHTSA that he would have the machines approved, state-sanctioned and a few purchased by May -- which means the state is again behind schedule. (emphasis added)
That Strickland selected Guzman to be Public Safety Director in the first place was just mind-boggling.
This is the same Henry Guzman who was the blind mouse in charge of over-seeing minority participation on contracts for the Hopkins Airport Runway expansion. This project was wrought with mind-blowing incompetence and corruption. The project is currently under federal investigation for a wide range of minority contract violations.
In May of this year, the selection of Guzman as Public Safety Director proved to be questionable when he had the whole Ohio State Highway Patrol in disarray...
A scandal has erupted in the Ohio State Highway Patrol and it may have a lot to do with Public Safety Director, Henry Guzman and some backroom political maneuvering. Word has it that Guzman has created complete chaos in his department. More...
And yet once again - Guzman - is in the center of another fiasco. I would say this calls for a promotion of some sort - don't you Gov. Slickland?
Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money - Will Obama Bailout the States?
Governors will be courting Daddy Barack for his financial affection when they go to meet with him on Tuesday. Girlieman Governor of Mexfornia - Arnold - will most likely be one of the first n line to polish Barack's shoes looking to score some scratch so he can pay for all his illegal border jumpers.
From Yahoo --
The nation's governors are meeting with President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday to press their case for at least $40 billion to help pay for health care for the poor and disabled and even more for infrastructure projects like road and bridge repair.
They're likely to get a sympathetic ear.
The meeting in Philadelphia comes as Obama and Democrats controlling Congress are fashioning economic recovery legislation that could cost $500 billion or so. The measure is virtually certain to contain help for states struggling with slumping revenues and difficult budget cuts as the recession deepens. More...
The Buckeye brain fart - Rev. Ted - of Ohio, with shoe wax in his hand & ready to give a spit shine, will also be nudging his way to the front of line...
Gov. Ted Strickland on Monday announced a new $640 million state budget gap, the third deficit this budget cycle, and said the next two-year budget could be as much as $7.3 billion in the red. (WLWT).
It is pretty much certain that Daddy Obama will open up our check book and dole out some cash which will be used as another excuse for his proposed stimulus plan of unknown proportions. And again - Obama has no idea how he will pay for these handouts either.
Can somebody say The United Socialist States of America?

Strickland & Dolan Gamble with the Keno Facts
PD Opinion --
Gov. Ted Strickland's administration is proving thrifty -- with facts.
At issue is Controlling Board approval May 5 of an $18 million contract given GTech Holdings, the Ohio Lottery's longtime lead contractor, for Keno equipment. Some Republicans argued that Ohio law didn't allow the lottery to expand via Keno. The Controlling Board, 4-3 Republican, is checkpoint for unbid contracts.
The board's Republicans split, so it voted 5-2 to give GTech the contract. But as the Associated Press has revealed, what the board didn't know May 5, because Lottery Director Michael A. Dolan didn't announce it until May 12, was that the lottery was replacing GTech as lead lottery contractor with a rival, Intralot. That fact might have helped foes stall Keno by raising the specter of incompatible equipment, said Rep. Jay Hottinger, a Republican member of the Controlling Board.
According to a Strickland spokesman, Dolan didn't hoodwink the Controlling Board because "the question was not asked" and because, as of May 5, Intralot's contract was not a done deal. And a lottery spokeswoman has said that "virtually all the equipment will be reusable."
Republican Sen. John Carey, a Controlling Board member who voted for the Keno contract, stopped short of saying he felt deceived.But taxpayers should ask: What's wrong with frankness? If Strickland's aides act this way when the Controlling Board is 4-3 GOP, what timed-release revelations will Ohioans see after Jan. 1, when Democrats run Ohio's House, and the board will be 4-3 Democrat?
Didn't hoodwink? OK he convienently skirted around the issue. he purposely misrepresented the facts. Facts that would have obviously caused other Controlling Board members to possibly change their vote. Knowing they were in negotiations with Intralot and NOT informing the board shows a complete breach of public trust and is lacking in any sense of duty on Dolan's part.
What they did is no differant than a parent asking their kid if they snort coke and the kid answers no. Since he only smokes crack - technically he is not lying.
Clinton's appointment to Secretary of State shows No Sign of Change
From WND --
The constitutional quandary arises from a clause that forbids members of the Senate from being appointed to civil office, such as the secretary of state, if the "emoluments," or salary and benefits, of the office were increased during the senator's term.
The second clause of Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution reads, "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office."
During Clinton's current term in the Senate, the salary for Cabinet officers was increased from $186,600 to $191,300. Since the salary is scheduled to again be raised in January 2009, not only Clinton but all sitting Senate members could be considered constitutionally ineligible to serve in Obama's Cabinet. More...
The article notes there are ways to get around this. When Tricky Dick appointed Senator William Saxbe in 1973, Nixon convinced the Senate to reduce Saxbe's salary below the amount it was when he voted to increase it 1969.
This maneuver is not strange to the Clintons - Bush #1 also did it for Bill Clinton by appointing Sen. Lloyd Bentsen to serve as his treasury secretary.
Where the hell is all this "change" from the old politics of D.C. we were promised?!?
Senator Ted "What Bridge" Kennedy being honored by Harvard
From USA Today --
The Massachusetts Maritime Academy has announced it will rename its training ship The Kennedy in tribute to the Kennedy clan. Officials in Boston have unveiled a proposal to build a national institute focused on the U.S. Senate and Kennedy's legacy. Kennedy has even won honors from the governments of Mexico and Chile.
The highest-profile event was to come Monday afternoon, with Harvard University set to bestow an honorary degree....
Harvard says the honor recognizes Kennedy's "lifelong commitment to public service and his tireless efforts as a champion for a range of social issues," including health care, civil rights, labor, the environment and education. Others who have been honored with special convocations include Nelson Mandela and Winston Churchill. More...
Sure did - he denied Mary Jo Kopechne her civil rights to freedom while she labored for breath when he left her in the car he drove off the bridge, after a night of drinking, into the enviromentally friendly Poucha Pond where he then refused to get her health care.
He was educated enough to know by abandoning her - his Kennedy Klan could use their lifelong commitment to public service to whitewash the incident.
Now before any of you lug-headed asshat lefty's tell me how terrible I am for slamming Kennedy because he has cancer - BITE ME!
He left a women to die - I hope his head explodes!
Barack fills transition team with Contributors, Bundlers and Lobbyists
Open Secrets is in the process of reviewing Barack's transistion team and to date they have uncovered some very disturbing trends for a man that ran on the mantra of change. Below is the article and some of their findings - along with a link for the data bases they are creating.
From Open Secrets --
Members of Barack Obama's transition team weren't necessarily selected solely on their résumés and expertise--some may have scored positions over similarly qualified individuals because they supported the president-elect by bundling money for his presidential campaign or opening their own wallets to him. And although Obama prohibits registered lobbyists from making financial contributions to his transition, influence peddlers past and present are showing up on the team that's building the foundation for the next administration.
The Obama transition office recently announced nearly 400 individuals who have been dispatched to review the workings of federal agencies. Our researchers here at the Center for Responsive Politics are working to match these individuals to our databases of contributors, bundlers and lobbyists.
Check out the full list of names, along with tallies of their campaign contributions and links to their profiles in our Lobbying, Revolving Door and Bundler databases here. Here's a summary of what we've found:
$824,155: Minimum total that transition team members contributed to Obama's campaign and to joint fundraising committees formed to support his election. Like figures below, this amount may well be higher. Lacking more than just a name for many team members, CRP has not been able to match everyone to our databases.
$3,869.27: Average contribution to Obama and joint fundraising committees from those on the transition team who contributed to the president-elect this election cycle. Supporters were limited to giving $4,600 directly to Obama since the start of 2007 but could give additional money to the Democratic party.
56: Percent of all announced transition team members who contributed to Obama or a joint fundraising committee supporting his candidacy.
$2 million: Total amount that donating transition team members gave to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle.
$7,977.04: Average contribution that donating transition team members gave to all federal candidates, parties and committees this election cycle. Any individual could give up to $108,200 this election cycle. The percentage of Americans who give even $200 to federal politics is less than one-half of 1 percent.
6: Number of team members who, apparently, didn't give money to any Democratic party committee or candidate, including Obama, but contributed to Republicans or other parties.
23: Number of transition team leaders who are, or have been since 1998, federally registered lobbyists. Seven of them were registered lobbyists as of the start of this year. Obama has prohibited currently registered lobbyists from working on his transition team in fields of policy on which they've tried to influence Congress in the last year. They're also required to stop all lobbying activity during their transition
work.
14: Number of transition team members who raised at least $50,000 for Obama's campaign. Every one of these bundlers also gave at least $2,300 to Obama out of his or her own pocket.
$2.8 million: Minimum total amount bundled by members of the transition team.
As we continue to match names, please check our new Transition Team Tracker for
updates.
"Bipartisan Barack" doesn't look so bipartisan either - only 6 Republicans?!?
Girlieman of the Week - District Supt. David Cash
Girliemen of the Week
Date Awarded: November 28, 2008
Girlieman: District Supt. David Cash
Antics: Craven cowardice, knee-jerk Korrectness
For decades, the snot-gobblers attending two Southern Mexifornia elementary schools honored Thanksgiving day, with the same ritual:
‘...[K]indergartners at Condit and Mountain View elementary schools take annual turns dressing up and visiting the other school for a Thanksgiving feast. This year, the Mountain View children would have dressed as Native Americans and walked to Condit, whose students would have dressed as Pilgrims...’ (L.A. Times)
It was strictly no harm, no foul, since it gave the tykes a chance to exercise their creative skills, while making, and decorating, Pilgrim hats and/or feathers out of that tyke staple, construction paper. Class projects, a hint of history mixed in with American myth? What’s not to like? Everything, according to a Siberian-American Korrectnik Egghead (she's an English Professor at a notoriously Korrect Ivory Tower, Univ. of California, Riverside), Michelle Raheja:
‘..."It's demeaning," Michelle Raheja, the mother of a kindergartner at Condit Elementary School, wrote to her daughter's teacher. "I'm sure you can appreciate the inappropriateness of asking children to dress up like slaves (and kind slave masters), or Jews (and friendly Nazis), or members of any other racial minority group who has struggled in our nation's history...There is nothing to be served by dressing up as a racist stereotype."...’ (L.A. Times)
In a rational world, a school administrator would tell this caterwauling Korrectnik cunt where to stick it. Unhappily, this government cess-schools' district supervisor is a gutless, cringing, wonder named David Cash, an alleged man in name only. Little Davie cowered in his corner, ignored the outrage blasting at this Raheja bitch from district parents, then pulled the plug on this four decades old, kid-friendly tradition.
Davie gutted the festivities, because he hasn’t got the nads to tell this raving Siberian-American, lunatic bitch to shut the hell up and sit down. Instead, he banned the costumes which, invariably delighted the tykes, making a mockery of the festivities which would proceed without the construction paper costumes.
For letting this Korrectnik cunt dictate district policy...for surrendering to a blatant politically correct agenda without a fight...for spinelessly destroying a favorite moment in the tyke school year, Little Davie Cash is the Politically Incorrect Gazette’s Girlieman of the Week.
