Moore Calls Eastwood A Crazy Old Man

From the person for whom the words, 'Pie Hole' was invented, and oh how I hate to include his first name with mine, Michael Moore provides the humor of the day. I think he's afraid of Eastwood if you can believe what he said about an earlier confrontation with the high plains drifter. It reminds me of one of Eastwood's most recent roles in Gran Torino except instead of hoodlums being on Clint's front yard it's Moore, himself. There is nothing better than accidental humor from a bulbous baboon to illustrate.

Filmmaker Michael Moore’s assessment of fellow director Clint Eastwood’s speech at the Republican National Convention:
It “will live on in infamy as the moment when a crazy old man hijacked a national party’s most important gathering to tell off the president.”
Moore also recounts a personal story about Eastwood, whom he said once growled at him during an awards ceremony: “If you ever show up at my house with that camera, I’ll shoot you on sight.”
“The audience laughed, I laughed, but the person who issued the threat wasn’t laughing. That creeped me out a bit. I made sure never to go stand on Clint Eastwood’s lawn,” Moore wrote.

Shockaroo For College Students And Health Insurance

The future frightening payoffs of college loans are taking a backseat to the immediate and soaring costs of health insurance students are getting slapped with as they return to school this fall, all thanks to Obamacare.
Because of a rule in the Affordable Care Act that lifts caps on policy payoffs, the cheap insurance policies typically healthy students previously got are skyrocketing, some over 1,000 percent. The reason: Without payoff caps, insurance firms are boosting prices to cover their potential losses.
One example: a late July email to incoming students from Guilford College of Greensboro, N.C. revealed a jump from $668 to $1,179, a 75 percent jump. The reason stated: "Our student health insurance policy premium has been substantially increased due to changes required by federal regulations issued on March 16, 2012 under the Affordable Care Act.  http://washingtonexaminer.com/obamacare-shock-college-insurance-prices-soar/article/2506342

Your Typical Dem: Judge Allows Felon Governor Out Of Jail To Attend DNC

MONTGOMERY, ALA. — A federal judge has given former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman permission to travel to Charlotte, N.C., next week to attend the Democratic National Convention.
The convention is a week before Siegelman is scheduled to report to a federal prison in Louisiana to finish his 78-month sentence.
U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller said in an order that Siegelman can travel to Charlotte Sept. 3-6. Fuller ordered Siegelman to advise his probation officer of his flight plans and hotel reservations and to notify probation officials when he returns to his home in Birmingham.
Siegelman plans to lobby at the convention for President Obama to grant his request for clemency.

An Islamic Festival To Jump Start The DNC

This is what the DNC has going for the them; all praise and glory to Allah.

The Democratic National Convention will feature a "kick off events" week. It will begin with Islamic "events." Starting Friday afternoon there will be Islamic prayers followed by an evening halal banquet and then Saturday there will be an Islamic "festival" - all presided over by the Grand Imam, Siraj Wahhaj.

Commander-In-Chief Met With Near Stone Cold Silence From Troops

President Barack Obama was greeted with fleeting applause and extended periods of silence as he offered profuse praise to soldiers and their families during an Aug. 31 speech in Fort Bliss, Texas.
The audience remained quiet even when the commander-in-chief thanked the soldiers’ families, and cited the 198 deaths of their comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The audience’s reaction was so flat that the president tried twice to elicit a reaction from the crowd.
“Hey, I hear you,” he said amid silence.
The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the president sat quietly throughout the speech.
CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage of the speech before it was half-over.

This Is Big News: Potential Cure For Malaria

CAPE TOWN (2012-08-28): The University of Cape Town’s Science Department believes that it has found a single dose cure for Malaria.
This was announced by researchers that have been working on this compound, from the aminopyridine class, for several years. Unlike conventional multidrug malaria treatments that the malaria parasite has become resistant to, Professor Kelly Chibale and his colleagues now believe that they have discovered a drug that over 18 months of trials ”killed these resistant parasites instantly”.
Animal tests also showed that it was not only safe and effective, but there were no adverse reported side effects. Clinical tests are scheduled for the end of 2013. http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/08/29/university-of-cape-town-researchers-believe-they-have-found-a-single-dose-cure-for-malaria/

It's You Money

President Obama and his administration officials have made 435 taxpayer-funded visits to college campuses or other events targeting students since March 2011 , including 164 trips to battleground states, a new study shows.

DNC Update/Speakers

Here's a partial list of speakers at next week's extravaganza DNC confab. Looking at this stellar line-up list is a prescription for Viagara. I could get more excited over Marjorie Main cleaning her underwear in a wash tub.

John Kerry, Rahm Emanuel, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Emanuel Cleaver, John Lewis and Rosa DeLauro.

In Memorium To Steven Franken

Drats! Steve Franken has passed away. Another of my childhood icons has bitten the dust. You would remember him as Chatsworth Osborne III of the Dobie Gillis Show. If you're the age of sixty then you don't care so pooh on you. If you happen to be over sixty you'd be interested to know that he was 80. That is significant because it means you and I are almost dead and as my friend told me, "when you're dead you're dead for a long time".

If You're Not The Lead Dog The View Never Changes

Mitt Romney is heading out for Louisiana this afternoon to check on the people of the Bayou state. Shortly thereafter the Bamster decided to do the same. It was no surprise to MJH that he wasn't go to visit the folks. There is no way he's going to carry the state in the election so why would he give a flying crap about the people. Let's face it, Obama is the sled dog in the last row. Nice view, huh Barry?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2196389/Mitt-Romney-heads-storm-hit-Louisiana-President-Obama-hits-campaign-trail.html

Wouldn't It Be Nice If I Knew These People

I happened to glance at my sight cover page today and saw two newbies had signed on. That's exciting. I'm aware of most of the folks who have become members since they are personal friends and there daily look-see puts me on an ego trip. The signers are 'No Wars Anywhere' and 'Andrew'. If I knew anything about computers I'd sent them a personal note of thanks. It takes guts to put your name on this site. I've tried to keep track of others who have signed on and, magically, found a way to send an email to one person but I didn't hear back. It's best not to push the envelope. I'm anticipating the next hallelujah for MJ Hawkeye. In a day or two we'll jump over 100,000 page views. Bang the drums quickly. You also may have noticed an extraordinary amount of posting in the last few days. It has to do with the marathon Republican Convention and my position on the couch which is mostly prone. Lizzie is at the lake place and this gives me the freedom to watch TV the way I like best, in my underwear.
So, next week is the beginning of the DemocRat National Convention. I will not watch it. If I see a picture of Obama, Pelosi, Harry Reid, Debbie Wasserman Schultz or Sandra Fluke on TV I will simultaneously do two things in this order: (1) press the mute button and (2) flip the channel. I broke down last night immediately after the professional, personal, business like Romney speech and flipped to MSNBC. I don't know why, masochism I guess. At any rate, Al Sharpton was bloviating* and I could stand it for ten seconds only.
If you happen to be a conservative you will understand what I am about to write: Republicans are optimistic and enthusiastic. DemocRats are negative and miserable.
Back to my new friends, if you want to email me go ahead. It's mjloehrer@hotmail.com or leave a message on the comment page. What am I afraid of, anyway, the IRS? Actually I am but that's for another day.

*Regardless of what one has been led to believe, Bill O'Reilly did not invent the word, bloviating. It was done by Pres. Warren G. Harding.

Univ. Of Iowa In 2011: Reject James Holmes Admission At Any Cost

Despite excellent tests results and a key recommendation, there was something about Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes that led the University of Iowa to keep him out at all costs.
The university firmly rejected Holmes' admission into a neuroscience graduate program last year, with a top faculty member writing, 'do NOT offer admission under any circumstances,' newly-revealed documents said.
That decision, which was made in early 2011 after Holmes had visited the campus, stands in stark contrast to decisions by the University of Illinois and the University of Colorado to offer Holmes large scholarships at similar programs at those schools. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2196093/James-Holmes-Dark-Knight-gunman-rejected-University-Iowa-costs.html

An Interview With Chris Matthews

More than laff filled:

Playboy Interview: Chris Matthews

Home - by BigFurHat - August 30, 2012

BIGFURHAT – Let’s cut through all the crap cake. I’m really not interested if you have lust in your heart. I’m more interested in whatever else is festering in there.
CHRIS MATTHEWS – Festering, eh? I see that this is going to be a tough interview.
BFH: Tough? Nope. Easy. I’m just going to read to you a series of statements about Barack Obama, and I want you to tell me if you think they are racist or not. Okay?
CM: Ya, gahead.
BFH: Joe Biden said of Barack Obama, “you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Is that racist?
CM: Nope. I know Joe Biden. Joe Biden isn’t a racist.
BFH: John Boehner said, “Barack Obama needs to get a bit more fiscally responsible.” Is that racist?
CM: Absolutely. “Fiscally responsible,” c’mon, who are you trying to kid?
BFH: Do you know John Boehner?
CM: No.
BFH: Harry Reid said that Obama had no negro dialect. Is that racist?
CM: No. He explained himself. He said he had no idea the term negro was offensive. He’s old. He used an archaic word.
BFH: Sarah Palin said that Obama was a pretty good basketball player. Racist?
CM: Of course it is. What world are you living in?
BFH: President Clinton said of Obama, “A few years ago this guy would have been getting us coffee.” Racist?
CM: It was obviously an insight about how far African Americans have gotten under the left’s guidance.
BFH: Ann Coulter says that she can relate to Obama because he smokes cigarettes too. Racist?
CM: Yes
BFH: Barney Frank said that Obama is tall and thin, and the odds are he is probably hung like Mandingo. Racist?
CM: He didn’t mean “hung” in the bad way.
BFH: Last week Romney remarked that Obama seemed to be going negative with his campaign ads.
CM: Racist
BFH: Bill Maher said that he wants Obama to be more black, that he should take to the podium with a gun and say, “I’m the motherf*cking preezy and if you don’t like it I’ll put a cap all up your azz.”
CM: And?
BFH:Rush Limbaugh said that Barack Obama…
CM: Racist
BFH: I didn’t ask you anything.
CM: Doesn’t matter.
BFH: Georges Soros said that if he wasn’t funding Obama he’d still be in the Negrohood with his bullhorn, doing what he knows best, signing up illiterate ghetto dwellers so he could cheat his way into power and perpetuate the spiraling downward of black culture.
CM: Your point being?
BFH: These words were pulled out of context at the Republican National Convention. I’m just going to say them and you tell me if they are racist or not:
BFH: Debt
CM: Racist
BFH: Constitution
CM: Racist
BFH: Health Care
CM: Racist
BFH: Marriage
CM: Racist
BFH: Budget
CM: Racist
BFH: Podium
CM: Racist
BFH: Podium?? Podium is racist?
CM: Podium makes you think of teleprompter. Talking about teleprompters is racist.
BFH: Okay, here are words taken out of context from the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Tell me if they are racist or not.
BFH: Debt
CM: No
BFH: Constitution
CM: Naa
BFH: Health Care
CM: Nope
BFH: Marriage
CM: Negative
BFH: Budget
CM: No
BFH: Podium
CM: No
BFH: Wait a minute. A second ago you said podium made you think of teleprompter and that was racist.
CM: Ya, but now it’s making me think of Greek columns. Greek columns are good.
BFH: I think we’re done.
CM: Good. I’m a little creeped out by your racism.
BFH: What did I do?
CM: It’s what you’re not doing. Every time you said the name Obama I looked to see if you were getting excited, you know, in the pants. You failed to get..
BFH: Alright. So long.
Security!

Largest Cheating Scandal In The History Of Harvard

This has to be a made up story from a mag like The Onion. It's like a barrel of monkeys; hilarious. What a fantastic opportunity for an internship. Is there a possibility Ted Kennedy funded the entire program?

"Students familiar with the investigation said the class in question was Government 1310: Introduction to Congress, taught by Matthew Platt, the Harvard Crimson student newspaper reported today'. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-30/harvard-plagiarism-probe-under-way-for-about-125-students.html

Question Of The Day

Considering that George W. Bush was blamed for Hurricane Katrina and all associated deaths why is it we haven't heard about what Obama's been doing down there? Actually, I have the answer. He isn't there.

Is Paul Ryan A Racist: What's The Big Secret

It was actor Kevin Bacon who named his band, Six Degrees of Separation. That was after he came up with this theory that everyone on this planet knows someone who knows someone else if you search long and hard enough. Shown here is a photo of Deneeta Pope. She was Paul Ryan's girlfriend at Miami of Ohio University. I've never been to Oxford, Ohio but I hear it's quite beautiful. I did play a golf course in the area twenty years ago but, so what, I've literally played over a hundred courses in Ohio. My six degrees of separation with Ms. Pope is I read today that she grew up in Westerville, Ohio. I found that to be a well kept secret. Lizzie and I lived in Westerville for over twenty years. Since she's now forty she was in high school when we moved there. Hey, my son graduated from Westerville, North and he's forty. I wonder if. No, she went to St. Francis DeSales High School. My friend, George sent his son to DeSales and since he was an outstanding football player there I'll bet he knew her. I wonder why the MSM hasn't brought up the fact that Ryan dated this beauty. Could it be that it would humanize him and not set him up as a racist? I still haven't read anything in the press about Ryan's brother being married to an African-American. Why, it's almost like the MSM is trying to keep that fact a secret. Naw!

What's Up With Shepherd Smith

Shep Smith has the 3PM and 7Pm news segments on Fox. He's one of your weepy, emotional lib types. I knew a long time ago he was a big time lib but I about lost it seven years ago when he was in Louisiana and Mississippi during Katrina. Tears were streaming down his face as he was telling the viewers about the destruction. It was like he was a sissy kindergartner who had dropped his candy cane in the toilet. So, here's my question about Smith. He has two prime time slots on the number one cable news network in the country. But, whenever there's a disaster, aka, hurricane, Smith is always sent as the on the scene reporter. Why? There he is, right now, standing in a torrential downpour, telling us how he's seeing dead pigs and deer and other livestock. The streets are overflowing with sewerage and he's doing his best not to step in it. It reminds me of the story I told you about my job as a second grader at Sacred Heart. Sister Mary Calasanctus told me my job was to throw sawdust on puke when kids got sick. I thought I was the most important guy in the world. Shepherd, get a clue.

Whale Barf Equals Big Cash

FromiOwnTheWorld

 

Most of us probably would’ve walked past the waxy-looking brown chunk on the beach, but 8-year-old Charlie Naysmith was curious enough to check it out. That oddly shaped ball was ambergris — essentially a wad of whale vomit — and it’s worth an estimated $63,000. Ambergris is “quite rare,” according to marine biologists, It originates in the intestines of sperm whales; this particular 1.5-pound piece of puke might’ve been “floating in the sea for decades.” The British schoolboy is obviously thrilled with his find, as are his parents, who might be off the hook for, say, his college tuition. Naysmith has considered using the cash to “build a house for animals.” That’s so cute, now WE want to throw up. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/9893744.Schoolboy_s_rich_after_finding_Moby_s_sick/

You Might Be A Racist If...........................

It might have been MSNBC boobs and boobettes who started the racist blather. Every word and action uttered for the last couple of years has had racist connotation. I've taken a re-print from the American Blogger to Illustrate:

"I was listening to Sarah Palin’s interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday when she dropped a racial slur. You didn’t hear it? She referred to Rep. Paul Ryan as “articulate.” As I’ve noted before, that’s racist.
Now she didn’t take any flak for that, but she’s taking it for her latest racist comment. In her speech at the Tea Party Convention, she said the following:

“Treating this like a mere law enforcement matter places our country at great risk because that’s not how radical Islamic extremists are looking at this,” Palin said to thunderous applause. “They know we’re at war, and to win that war we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern.”

Ugh. That’s so racist.

So, what we need to do is come up with a list of words or phrases that cannot be used in everyday conversation. e.g. Don't say 'ears' in a sentence. That refers to Obama. Kenya is another one of these for obvious reasons. Specific foods like collard greens, anything with yams in it and boiled peanuts is verboten even though southern white folks like them, too. I need to make a list of words that make me a racist. Uh-oh, I refuse to buy a GM vehicle. That's another aspect of racism. Did you know using Chicago and Obama in the same sentence is racist according to Chris Matthews. Make up your own personal list. You might be a Klan person. But you couldn't be if you're a Republican. The KKK was started by a democrat.

Republicans Are A Bunch Of Cookies And Milk Guys

Tampa - The wildly anticipated Republican nudie-bar bonanza has turned out to be a double D-sized bust. Strippers across this mammary mecca were anticipating an orgy of business this week from the crush of conventioneers. Instead, three days into the RNC, Tampa’s dancing beauties were still waiting for their stimulus packages. “My friend told me I’d make $3,000 a night this week,” said a slinky brunette named Jordan, as she gazed dejectedly around an empty Mons Venus bar on Monday, the Isaac washout day in Tampa. “I've made $100 tonight and it's already 3 a.m.” "I don't know what I'm still doing here. This sucks". http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hordes-randy-republicans-expected-a-boon-tampa-strips-clubs-owners-dancers-waiting-rnc-stimulus-package-article-1.1147630 I say, "Honey, go to Charlotte. I understand Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer are coming to town".

Condi Rice Speech

In my opinion Condi Rice gave the most inspirational, truthful, hopeful, wake up, America speech of the convention. I'm putting the entire YouTube video of her eloquent words on this post for posterity. According to FoxNews she gave this speech without a teleprompter. There will be a place for her in this administration. ABC News ran two minutes of her talk. Shameful.

"Yes We Can"

Are Dept. Of Justice Officials Organizing Occupy People In Tampa

What are uniformed field representatives of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Relations Service (CRS) doing assisting Occupy/anarchist activists outside the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Tampa?

 Exclusive video captured by Breitbart News during Occupy/anarchist demonstrations outside the RNC Tuesday shows CRS field representatives, wearing DOJ logo polo shirts and hats, conversing with Occupy protesters.
In one case, a CRS representative and protester are seen to high-five each other. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/08/29/Is-Holder-s-DOJ-Community-Organizing-Occupy-Activists-at-the-RNC

Susana Martinez Speech: She's A Pistol

By Aaron Goldstein American Spectator:

While waiting for Paul Ryan, I caught New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez's speech. I liked it. It was a feisty a little number.
She told a couple of funny stories.
With regard to her parents' security guard business she said, "Now, my Dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum - that gun weighed more than I did."
Martinez also spoke about her past as a Democrat and recounted a time where she and her husband had lunch with two Republicans who wanted her to join the fold. She planned to politely receive them and be on their way. Things didn't go as planned. She said, "And when we left that lunch, we got into the car and I looked over at Chuck and said, "I'll be damned, we're Republicans."
But the highlight was her precise critique of President Obama:

If he can take credit for government building small businesses, then he can accept responsibility for breaking his promise and adding 5 trillion dollars to the national debt.
Because he did build that.

Quite nice.

A Fishing Statistic

My buddy, Buff, the Master Angler fisherman related a very significant fact to me yesterday. We were talking about our upcoming fishing trip to the northern part of Manitoba. He's a stickler for having everything in its proper order. There will be eight guys attending and our conversation got around to life jackets. I don't like them; much prefer to have a flotation device that I can sit on. He said it doesn't make that much difference. According to him, and I trust him completely on this, 90% of the men who drown while fishing are retrieved with their zippers down. In that case the women, I think, have the advantage. Thank God for empty Folger's coffee cans.

The Three Deadliest Words In The World----"It's A Girl"

In India, China and many other parts of the world today, girls are killed, aborted and abandoned simply because they are girls. The United Nations estimates as many as 200 million girls are missing in the world today because of this so-called “gendercide.” Girls who survive infancy are often subject to neglect, and many grow up to face extreme violence and even death at the hands of their own husbands or other family members http://frontpagemag.com/2012/jamie-glazov/its-a-girl-%E2%80%93-the-three-deadliest-words-in-the-world/

Nave SEAL says White House Account Of BinLaden Raid Is Fabricated

Do not mess with Navy SEALS especially when you are doing it for political gain, says one of those men involved in the raid. According to him(anonymous name) the Obama people have the facts of the raid all wrong and knew it all the time. This may be 'swift boating' to the people on the Left but it is one more example of corruption in the White House.

Why Obama May Lose Illinois

By Monique Garcia, Chicago Tribune:

Illinois’ credit rating was downgrade by Standard & Poor’s on Wednesday, a move that came after Gov. Pat Quinn has been unable to persuade lawmakers to cut costs in the state’s debt-ridden public employee pension system.

The agency lowered the state’s credit rating from A+ to A, citing a “lack of action” on changes aimed at lowering the pension system’s unfunded liability that could hit $93 billion by next summer if nothing is done. Standard & Poor’s also gave Illinois a “negative outlook,” saying Illinois’ budget future remains uncertain.  http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-wisconsin-governor-tweaks-quinn-over-credit-downgrade-20120829,0,5929391.story

Is The MSM Coordinating A Race Baiting Operation

By: Erick Erickson

We should not forget that John Harris of the Politico, who asked the stupidest and most irrelevant questions of any moderator during the GOP Primary debates, is married to the former head of NARAL in Virginia.
We should not forget that Jonathan Allen of the Politico once worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
We should not forget that Andy Barr of the Politico left the Politico to go work for the Democratic National Committee.
We should not forget any of this because I do not believe it is any accident that today the Politico has a big story from John Harris about race in the 2012 election.

That No Good, Filthy Rich SOB

He's worth $200 million dollars. Now I'm beginning to understand why so many people don't trust or like him. He can't relate to the American people and has tried to, unsuccessfully, for a long time. He reluctantly gives interviews and when he does it appears he's untrustful. It's no wonder  the grasp of a presidency is seemingly out of his reach. You think I'm writing about Mitt Romney. I'm not. I present the most pompous ass of a man, John F. Kerry. One main difference between Romney and Kerry is that the current candidate for the presidency earned his money. He gave away his entire inheritance from his father to charity. John Kerry married a very rich woman who made Kerry a wealthy man. Then he dumped her for Teresa Heinz, the ketcham heiress. Kerry hasn't earned anything in his life except for the ability to dupe voters in the easiest state of all, Taxachusetts. I'm still waiting for the MSM to interview Kerry about his money. I can guarantee that we'll be subjected to the grilling of Romney on this subject for the next two months.

Obama Sent Form Letters Signed By Electric Pens To Families Of Fallen Soldiers

On August 6, 2011, 30 US service members were killed when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter they were being transported in crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan. It was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the decade-long war in Afghanistan. 17 members of the elite Navy SEALs were killed in the crash.
Yesterday, Karen and Billy Vaughn, parents of Aaron Carson Vaughn, spoke at the Defending the Defenders forum sponsored by the Tea Party Patriots outside the RNC Convention in Tampa. Karen brought a copy of the form letter they were sent following their son’s death. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/08/obama-honored-fallen-seals-by-sending-their-parents-a-form-letter-signed-by-electric-pen/

Fox News Trumps All At RNC

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor Original Article

TAMPA, Fla. — Fox News dominated television news ratings on the first night of the Republican National Convention. Replicating its 2004 and 2008 successes, the top-rated cable news channel once again defeated its broadcast competition, at least during prime time coverage. 10-11PM Coverage FNC: 6,878,804 viewers (1,679,763 in 25-54) NBC: 4,770,050 viewers (1,725,282 in 25-54) CBS: 3,118,927 viewers (938,237 in 25-54) ABC: 2,862,656 viewers (920,346 in 25-54) CNN: 1,473,885 viewers (413,467 in 25-54) MSNBC: 1,468,348 viewers (411,738 in 25-54)

The (In)Tolerance Of The Left

Hackers broke into Wikipedia last night and gave their version of what they think of Mia Love who is running for Congress from the state of Utah. I won't have to mention she's a black, classy lady. The hackers think otherwise calling her a 'House Nigger'.

The New Republican Party

You wouldn't know by watching anything other than Fox News last night because the MSM totally eliminated the up and coming stars in the Republican Party. There were women, Blacks, Hispanics, and even a lady whose parents came here from India. Missing was another Indian, Bobby Jindal (Gov. Louisiana) and this was due to hurricane Isaac. It ain't your old rich white man's party anymore.
From Dan Cirucci:
Galaxy Of 22 Rising GOP Stars!

At the GOP Convention last night, from our perch high atop the area we were once again struck by the array of bright, new Republican stars from all over the nation: men and women of every color and ethnicity.
Look at the lineup of new GOP luminaries:

Mia Love - future GOP Congresswoman from Utah.
Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington.
Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
Governor John Kasich of Ohio
Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma
Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia
Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin
Govenor Brian Sandoval of Nevada
Future Senator Ted Cruz of Texas
Former Congressman (and former Obama supporter) Artur Davis of Alabama
Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina
Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey
Governor Susana Martinez of New Mexico
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky
Attorney General Pam Bondi of Florida
Agriculture Secretary and Former Congressman Adam Putnam of Florida
Senator Rob Portman of Ohio
Congressman and Future Senator Connie Mack of Florida
GOP Chair Reince Priebus of Wisconsin
Former Governor Tim Pawlenty of Wisconsin
Congressman Allen West of Florida
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida

News Flash: He's Fired

David Chalian was just fired by Yahoo News. Sort of like the Chick-fil-A guy. What goes around comes around.

"Republicans Are Happy To Have A Party With Black People Drowning"

Trust me, this quote didn't come from one of those hated, heartless Republicans at the RNC. This comment was uttered on a hot mic on ABC but by a dufus named David Chalian. He doesn't work for ABC. He's a honcho with Yahoo News. He's not a kid, either. Prior to his stint with Yahoo he was the editor of news for the PBS NewsHour. I'm not done yet. He was in a previous life the political director for ABC News. He has a job at the, ahem, Leftist Jesuit school, Georgetown. Maybe he knows Sandra Fluke, intimitely.

The EPA and Department of Transporation have announced new fuel efficiency standards that the White House calls "historic," but like much that comes from this administration it is going to cost you, the car consumer.
The idea behind the new standards is to make cars need less gas to go further. Gas is expensive, and as the Obama administration has learned can be turned against the party in power as an election issue.  So if you get a new, more fuel efficient car -- one that will have to get 54. 5 miles per gallon on average by 2025 -- you will need to buy less gas to get where you are going.
Here's the fine print though, the new cars, which car manufacturers now have to produce, are going to cost more.
"The GM Volt with it’s $40,000 price tag only gets an average fuel economy of 37.5 mpg in the city and 38.15 mpg on the highway, according to Popular Mechanics, which tested the vehicle out in real-world conditions. 
Why is President Obama's solution to every problem to change behavior through punishment? We have to pay a lot to fill up our current cars, we are paying more than we did four years ago, and now cleaner cars are going to be out of reach because of the price tag.
Doesn't seem like Obama likes drivers very much. The most popular vehicle now made in the United States will become the mandated government vehicle by 2025 and is shown in the picture. Enjoy the ride.

Time To Bring Up Romney's Mormonism

I don't know much about Mormons but only because I've never taken the time to research their history. George Romney is a Mormon. Big Whoop! So is Harry Reid and the contrasts couldn't be more obvious. The DemocRats have spent millions of dollars to come up with dirt, mostly sexual I'm sure, and don't have squat. Mitt Romney is everything one would want in a candidate. One thing he isn't is a community organizer. Oh, he also didn't sit in a Black Liberation Theology church for twenty years; you know, one of those that advocates communism. If you are one of those folks, and I personally know some, who would have a difficult time voting for one of those dastardly Mormons you might want to scroll down at the wikipedia list of famous Mormon Americans. Warning: it's going to take awhile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latter_Day_Saints

How The NY Times Saw Ann Romney's Speech

TAMPA, Florida | To Republicans in the RNC convention hall last night, and surely to the majority of Americans watching at home, regardless of their politics, Ann Romney came across as a warm, kind and caring woman.
But the editors of the New York Times occupy a very different universe. In a nasty piece of work this morning, editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal painted an ugly picture of Ann Romney. Using the most violent of metaphors, Rosenthal saw a woman who, of all things, had "slipped a knife into President Obama." More after the jump.
Rosenthal also managed to refer to mother-of-five Mrs. Romney as a "diva." Imagine the Times's outrage if a conservative ever dared to refer to First Lady Obama in such terms. Here's Rosenthal's reprehensible line:

"The genius of Mrs. Romney’s diva performance was the way she smiled so warmly as she delicately slipped the knife into President Obama."

Not only was Rosenthal's depiction vile and violent, it was so clearly at odds with the reality that those of us in the hall or watching at home saw and heard. Despicable.

It's Not A Sports Story

A month ago a Heisman football candidate from Wisconsin, Monte Ball, was brutally attacked by three men. He sustained some serious injuries but is on the mend and looking forward to the upcoming season. Who knows, maybe it was a racially motivated attack. Or, it might have been an event with alcohol being the prime factor. That's my educated guess. What I do know is that Monte Ball was beaten at 2:15 AM. This in itself is worth pondering. I don't know who it was but I think it was one of my coaches who said, "Nothing good ever happens after 11 PM".  http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/football/ncaa/08/28/three-arrested-monte-ball-wisconsin-attack/index.html?sct=hp_t2_a15&eref=sihp

Obama Surgeon General: Regina Benjamin

MSNBC Ignores Every Speech By Republican Minorities

One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.
If you were watching MSNBC’s coverage of the Republican National Convention in Tampa on Tuesday night, you might believe those assertions, since missing from the coverage was nearly every ethnic minority that spoke during Tuesday’s festivities.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.

Do Ya'Think Code Pink'ers Are Weirdos

I see where the Code Pink crowd is out and about again. Medea Benjamin really started something when she got this crew together. First, it was protesting the Iraq War. Then they went after the War on Women. You can see them in the 'small' picture I posted in case your children might be looking over your shoulder. If you don't know they are now parading around in 'vagina' costumes. "I am women. Hear me roar". Or something like that.

Viet Nam Vet Fired For Ten Cent Crime In 1963

Baltimore Sun
The Des Moines Register reports that a 68-year-old Vietnam veteran was fired from his Wells Fargo Home Mortgage job because 49 years ago he put a cardboard dime slug into a laundromat’s washing machine.
The paper said federal regulations now prohibit banks from hiring people convicted of certain crimes. This was supposed to root out bad actors at the top, but banks have been firing low-level workers.
According to the Register, Iowa’s Republican Senator Chuck Grassley released a statement that said in part: “On the face of it, these situations seem unfair.” Ya think?
He went on to say, “The public is right to question why top executives aren’t being held accountable, especially when banks themselves are using federal regulations to justify firing rank-and-file workers.”
Banks, of course, are likely to just blame regulations. But they are taking this to a ridiculous extreme.

This-----------------Or That

Go ahead and call me a racist, Chris Matthews. I don't give a flying crap.

Another Reason To Send Your Children To Private Schools

TO Nebraska, where 3-year-old Hunter Spanjer – he’s deaf – has been asked by the school to alter his sign language name because the experts think the gestures looks like he’s shooting a gun.

Hunter Spanjer’s sign violates the Grand Island Public Schools weapons policy.

Says Hunter’s father, Brian Spanjer:

“He’s deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy. “It’s a symbol. It’s an actual sign, a registered sign, through (Signing Exact English).”

Jack Sheard, Grand Island Public Schools spokesperson, replies:

“We are working with the parents to come to the best solution we can for the child.”

Navy Seals To Run New Ad Against Obama

Ryan Zinke, the former Navy SEAL who started SOFA, "Special Operations For America", told Breitbart that the ad itself “accurately portrays where this President is.”

“It accurately portrays his core belief that America should not lead. This president is shaping America to be one of the followers, to relinquish our role as a world leader. I didn’t fight 23 years as a Navy SEAL to watch America bow to anybody.” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/scathing-new-seal-ad-blasts-obama-for-literally-bowing-to-foreign-leaders/

Obama Sucks Up To Catholics

The Dems decided they didn't want the most influential Archbishop in the United States, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, New York, at their convention to lead them in prayer. Blasphemous they said to have an anti-abortion leader in their midst. Well, the Obama people must be reading the tea leaves because they've caved and offered an invitation to the Cardinal. Too bad that Dolan accepted. That really would have been a slap to the head of the greatest anti-Catholic president who ever lived; greater even that Woodrow Wilson, and that's saying something.

The Real War On Women

Will Harry Reid Apologize(For Being A Lying Dick)

NY Times Reports Romney Paid Federal Income Taxes

Fox NewsEven though he has not released his returns from earlier years, the 2010 return sheds some light on those years.
That’s because Mr. Romney paid income tax to foreign countries, and as result claimed in 2010 a $129,697 foreign tax credit, which he used to offset taxes he owed in the United States. American taxpayers who claim the foreign tax credit are required to report their total foreign taxes paid and tax credits used for the previous 10 years. So that return contains foreign tax data going back to 2000.
The good news for Mr. Romney is the forms suggest that he paid at least some federal income tax every year, as he has said he did.

Melissa Ohden, Survivor Of Botched Abortion, To Speak At RNC

Melissa is the survivor of a failed saline infusion abortion in 1977 (copies of her medical records that document the abortion meant to end her life can be viewed on this website’s picture page). Despite the initial concerns regarding Melissa’s future after surviving the attempt to end her life and being born alive at approximately seven months gestation, she has not only survived but thrived. With a Master’s Degree in Social Work, she has worked in the fields of substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence/sexual assault counseling, and child welfare. Melissa and her husband Ryan have a daughter, Olivia, whose birth at the same hospital where Melissa’s life was supposed to end has significantly shaped Melissa’s ministry. http://www.melissaohden.com/bio

How Obama Honored Neil Armstrong

From the White House: "Neil's spirit of discovery lives on in all the men and women who have devoted their lives to exploring the unknown — including those who are ensuring that we reach higher and go further in space. That legacy will endure — sparked by a man who taught us the enormous power of one small step."

Commentary: Appropriate words, except for two small things. One is that Armstrong had publicly opposed the gutting of the U.S. space program by the Obama administration, which has left us no current way of sending men into space except for paying the Russians for a ride while NASA conducts "missions" like a Muslim outreach program and observing earth for signs of climate change.
The other is that if you are going to honor the passing of the first man on the moon, an American, you do not post your words under a picture of yourself in silhouette gazing into the dawn sky. http://news.investors.com/article/623714/201208271910/neil-armstrong-opposed-obama-space-cuts.htm

More On Muslims At The DNC Convention

By Pamela Geller:

Obama Refused Cardinal's Prayers at DNC but Lists Muslim Jumah Prayers as "official function"

"I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." Barack Hussein Obama, page 261, The Audacity of Hope

Last week I posted about the Jumah jihad at the DNC, an event led by an imam who urged the overthrow of the "filthy" U.S. government and who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade center bombings. Obama's DNC lists the assembly as an “official function." The group is hardly “mainstream,” being represented by Siraj Wahhaj, who will be the “Grand Imam” for the gathering.

Wahhaj and the co-leader of the Charlotte event, Jibril Hough, are both heavily involved in the separatist American Islamist movement. Many of the participants in the “Jumah at the DNC” will most likely represent radical networks that have long-time, but little-known, operations in the Charlotte region. (Read more: Storm headed for Charlotte thanks to 'Jumah at the DNC' | Washington Times Communities )

Looks like Obama is engaging in his own holy war. At a speech in 1995, Siraj Wahhaj informed the world that it was his “duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran.”

But the Cardinal is not welcome. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/08/obama-refused-cardinals-prayers-at-dnc-but-lists-muslim-jumah-prayers-as-official-function.html

"Republicans, STFU"

Candidate compares rape pregnancy to 'out-of-wedlock' baby

12 hrs ago

Tom Smith, a Republican who’s battling incumbent Democrat Bob Casey for U.S. Senate spot, backed himself into a rhetorical mess today — all while trying to distance himself from fellow Republican Todd Akin’s toxic comments on “legitimate rape” and unintended pregnancy. After affirming that he was “pro-life, period — no exceptions,” Smith was asked to detail how he’d justify his position to a daughter “who God forbid would be the victim of a rape.” Smith responded by comparing that situation to one he said he’d faced: a relative “having a baby out of wedlock.” Unsurprisingly, partisans have pounced. http://now.msn.com/tom-smith-senate-candidate-compares-rape-to-out-of-wedlock-birth

Neil Armstrong: We Need More Like Him

With apologies to a friend of mine if the story doesn't come out correctly. I have a story about the recently deceased Neil Armstrong which I'll get to later. It's hard to believe it's been since July 20, 1969 that Armstrong first walked on the moon. That date is significant to me because at the very instant he was doing his moon walk I became engaged to Lizzie. It's not that I wasn't interested in this event but we didn't own a television. Anyway, since that great piece of exploration took place slightly over 43 years ago there are literally millions of Americans for whom the moon landing is a piece of history found only in a book. It's difficult to understand the impact of something of such magnitude if one wasn't alive when it took place. That's why the bombing of Pearl Harbor means the same to me.
Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh gave a few minutes of his show talking about Armstrong. He gave him the proper accolades but focused on the man and how he desired to come back home as a private citizen, not someone to be admired and feted at every opportunity. He lived out his 82 years in a quaint little community, Lebanon, Ohio, just up the road from Cincinnati.According to Limbaugh when Armstrong found out people were getting his autograph then selling it he stopped signing. You see, the moon landing was about America, not about Neil Armstrong. Furthermore, Limbaugh stated that Armstrong fully expected that he would not survive the mission but that the exploration by he and his two partners would open the door for others to take his place. Armstrong was a private man and wished to live out his days in privacy. That's a quality many of our leaders of today should practice.
It might have been ten years ago that my friend, George, was telling me he was in an airport and sitting across from him was Mr. Armstrong. George looked up knowingly and Armstrong recognized his glance. Whereas many people would get up and shake his hand or ask for an autograph or announce out loud, "Hey, you're Neil Armstrong", my friend went back to doing what he was doing. After awhile Armstrong got up to leave, approached my friend, and in a low voice said, "Thank you". He had been allowed to have maintain his anonymity. Both men should be commended; one for good manners and the other for being allowed to keep his dignity on his own terms.
America lost a true hero and legend last week. It's too bad people don't know more about him but, then again, he didn't want it to be about himself. He wanted his accomplishment to be about the United States of America.

There's a much better piece of writing than could come from me. It's written by a fella called IowaHawk and gives one pause about Armstrong and another person who's ego won't allow him to give credit to others; only to himself. IowaHawk is normally a humorous writer but, in this case, his writing takes on a more serious tone. http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2012/08/stars-get-in-your-eyes.html

Dinesh D'Souza Is Right

Even though I decided against a critique of the movie, 2016, there was on cogent point made by the author, Dinesh D'Souza, the author of the book that was made into the movie. He said, had Obama been a white guy with his political background prior to the election of '08 no one would have ever heard of him. i.e. The only reason he was a celebrity was because he was black. D'Souza, with his complexion, could have passed for colored and been just as successful. Even he has more credentials than Obama.

KANDAHAR, Afghanista - The Taliban beheaded seventeen party-goers, including two women dancers, in Afghanistan's volatile Helmand province as punishment, recalling the darkest days of rule by the ultra-conservative Islamist insurgents before their ouster in 2001.
The bodies were found on Monday in a house near the Musa Qala district where a party was held on Sunday night with music and mixed-sex dancing, said district governor Nimatullah. Men and women do not usually mingle in Afghanistan unless they are related, and parties involving both genders are rare and kept secret. http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=282739

Elimination Of Bush Taxes

It doesn't matter what economic level you belong to, whether you're single or married, with children or childless, you're going to get nailed. If you care I've linked an article to Forbes.

The Story The Media Won't Tell: Obama Is Losing

The 'Excuse' Word

Ever since Barack became President there's this one thing that just absolutely grinds me about his emphasis on blaming others for his problems. There is always a reason why he couldn't get things done, i.e. congress, George Bush, hurricanes, floods, fires, Iraq, Afghanistan. You name it and he is never involved. Yesterday, it hit me. I was attending a christian retreat for high school kids. Actually, I was a chaperone but I listened to what the speakers had to say. There was one young man name Mav who related quite well with the students. He talked about the need to have friends from high school all the way through college to help you meet and conquer the tough times. And then he said it, the E word--excuses, the reasons given for not making serious, long time friends. I hearkened back to my high school football coach. I've mentioned him in a recent post but he had a saying that never wears out. His name was Mr. Laurence Paar and whenever he heard, "It wasn't my fault", "I tripped on a stick", "the sun got in my eyes", he had one standard saying that put one in their place. He always said, "Excuses only satisfy the ones who give them". It was good in 1962 and it's still good today. Our president should have played football for Coach Paar.

Question Of The Day

I've decided not to review the movie, 2016; too much to write about. One item that caught my attention dealt with oil. Why is it our government has decided not to drill in our offshore fields but is giving millions of dollars to Mexico, Brazil and, of all places, Venezuela to develop their oil capacities? Your tax dollars are propping up the communist regime of one of the men, Hugo Chavez, who with his good friend, Iran, wants to destroy this country. Just thought I'd ask.

Obama Catholic Support Cut In Half – Only 27% of Catholics Support Abortion President

If the polling from the Life League is anywhere near accurate then Obama is toast. It sounds as though the Dumbocrat National Convention is set up to be an abortion love fest. That's great. Throw in the keynote speaker and 'alleged' rapist, Bill 'Bubba' Clinton, and you have a Roman bacchanalia. I hope they pass out condoms wrapped in plastic with a picture of Sandra Fluke on them. Just for good measure give all the ladies a pamphlet on 'how not to use a coat hanger'. "Hey, t-shirts are fun". One of the perfect sayings on them would be in reference to the Bamster with a picture of Sasha and Malia reading, "I don't want my daughter to be burdened with a baby".
Assuming the stadium is filled I want to see those red signs reading, 'Abortion Now' in the hands of every delegate. Let's get down and dirty, folks. Show a video about abortions. Have kids in them. They could be interviewed just like they are in those five year old Miss Cutesy shows on television. Pelosi could be holding a microphone and have it up next to a second grader. Mom would be standing behind her smiling that sort of, 'isn't my daughter just the sweetest' smile. Then Little Miss Pixie could say, "I wish I could menstruate so I would be that much closer to aborting a tissue mass". The possibilities are endless.
The three main speakers on this issue are NARAL, National Abortion Rights Action League, Planned Parenthood and Sandra 'I'm Easy' Fluke. I hope they play up the fact that Fluke calls herself a Catholic. I want people to see what a bona fide harlot and hyocrite looks like.
The Dems have put their eggs in the proverbial basket on this one or as Fluke would say, "I've made my bed and now I'll have to sleep in it" with a whole lot of guys-------about 2,000 times a year----- on your dime.

"Hey Catholics, Wake Up"

WASHINGTON — President Obama turned down a chance to have Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver a prayer at the Democratic National Convention after Dolan told Democrats he would be “grateful” to deliver a blessing in Charlotte.
Dolan — considered the top Catholic official in the nation, as head of the Archdiocese of New York and president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops — tipped off Democrats a few weeks ago that he had agreed to deliver the prime-time benediction at the Republican convention in Tampa next week, Dolan’s spokesman Joseph Zwilling told The Post

I Love Me So Much

At The Movies

Not thirty seconds ago did I walk in the house from my visit to Lennox AMC Theaters to view the movie: 2016 The Movie. It's too early to give it a review and bring up the main specifics of the film; have to give it more thought but I can tell you the following: There were only around fifty folks in the seats; mostly all gray heads. This is unsurprising because us oldsters are into the election. Besides, I attended the premier 11:30 showing. It was only five bucks and that was a good deal. One thing that was most significant for me was that I could tell you one earth shaking fact every day for ten days and I doubt it would have much of an impact. If I lumped all of these together and presented them in a ninety minute documentary then you'd sit up and take notice.  That was the case with the film. I don't want to come off as an expert on Obama but the author, Dinesh, D'Souza, didn't tell me that much I didn't know but as I stated, lumped together I got more than depressed. The end of the film left the crowd silent. Nuff said. More tomorrow or when I can write down more details. If you have the chance see the movie. It's scary.

Top Union Slaries: Not Exactly Your 99%

Advocating for the working man doesn’t pay too poorly, it seems. Here’s a list of the annual salaries and benefits earned by the nation’s top labor officials, according to the Labor Department. This data is based on 2011 filings:
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka – $293,750.
National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel – $460,060
Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry – $290,334.
American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees President Gerald McEntee – $512,489.
International Brotherhood of Teamsters President James P. Hoffa , Jr. – $372,489.
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten – $493,859.
International Association of Fire Fighters President Harold Schaitberger – $323,811.
American Federation of Government Employees President John Gage – $198,690. (Gage retired this month)
United Food and Commercial Workers President Joseph Hansen – $361,124
That’s still not in the the league of most top corporate executives, but it’s not bad. Interesting to note too that Trumka, who leads the largest coalition of unions, is on the lower end of the scale. http://washingtonexaminer.com/not-exactly-the-99-top-union-leaders-salaries/article/2505719
