Believe it.  This moron raises the mean IQ of Hamas to 12.  Another possibility is that he’s a teacher’s son from Seattle with hygrophobia.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is the gift that keeps on giving till it hurts Democrats.  How many politicians would have the cajones to play the race card by appointing an African-American to the seat and dare his fellow Democrats to block him.  Imagine how horrified Illinois Democrats were when all their scheming to retain the seat by refusing to grant a special election or impeaching the governor all came to naught.  The man is a mad genius.

And now that Governor Blagojevich, bless his soul, has put this issue back on the front burner, perhaps the press will ask some questions about the president-elect’s self-clearing report.  I’d be real interested to know why Patrick Fitzgerald interviewed Barack Obama for starters.

President Bush has done an excellent job defending the US.  After 9/11, I expected more terrorist attacks, but we’ve been free from terror for a little over 7 years now.  For this, he deserves a great deal of credit.  But for all that, his domestic policy has just been abysmal.

The latest example in a long litany of domestic failure?  The administration’s handling of the economic crisis.  As if giving away trillions of taxpayer dollars with no accountability wasn’t bad enough, now they’re pumping $6 billion into just above subprime auto loans:

GMAC said it would provide financing for retail car and truck buyers with a score of 621 on the Fico credit-rating scale, just above what is considered sub-prime. GMAC had tightened lending criteria two months ago, restricting finance to those with 700 or more out of a maximum 850.

I thought it was lose credit that got us into this mess?  Giving an addict more crack doesn’t cure them, but don’t worry, I’m sure the bailout for the borrowers victims of GMAC’s predatory lending practices is just around the corner.

But sadly, that’s not even the funniest most depressing part of this story:

The Treasury had already allocated all the $350 billion that Congress authorized for the first half of the program. But even though the Treasury Department has not yet requested the second half of the money, officials said they could provide the financing to GMAC because they have not actually used all of the money allocated for recapitalizing banks.

Did you catch that?  The Treasury has written $356 billion dollars in checks on $350 billion in funds.  That’s called check kiting, and it’d be illegal for you and I.

So, what can you say about this debacle except that President Bush doesn’t want to be known as the Herbert Hoover of our era.  Therefore, he’ll do anything and everything to get himself to 20 Jan 09 when he can dump the whole mess on Barack Obama.  I know I’ll regret it a couple years down the road, but I’m not saddened by his departure.

Would your car survive a nuclear blast?  A ’50’s Caddy would, along with a few other lead sleds.  

A helpful pamphlet of the era recommended rolling down your windows (when the sky lit up like a thousand suns) to “equalize the pressure of the shock wave”.  There was therefore no need to replace the window speaker at the Drive-In.

No instructions were provided on how to free your hands from a melted steering wheel, or your butt from the plastic seat cover.

One of our favorites.  He’s melting unevenly, or maybe he’s relieving the effects of that taco with beans and egg salad sandwich.  The final progression of his condition is to look like a lamprey.

Another of our favorites.  Driving the Transportation Department’s new JNK 1000 Design for GM.  It automatically practices the “oblique left” drill so well known to military veterans.

Caroline Kennedy is definitely in a tricky spot.  Half of NY’s Democratic politicians dislike her because she’s potentially blocking their pathway up the ladder.  The other half is not too happy because she was a bit stingy with the campaign contributions:

Some say Kennedy, who is worth at least $100 million, missed an opportunity to curry favor among Democratic pols to establish herself as a serious political player as she lobbies Gov. Paterson for Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat.

Is it any wonder that Rod Blagojevich thought his Senate appointment should line his pockets?  If only he’d followed the example of his NY brethren and not made his demands so explicit, he’d have nothing to worry about.  I have a feeling he’ll have plenty of time to ponder this behind bars unless he can throw Obama or Emmanuel under the bus.

If you’re blue and you don’t know
where to go to why don’t you go
where fashion sits
Puttin’ on the Ritz

This explains itself.  The rich get richer and the poor get children (Ain’t We Got Fun). 

The estimable Jodi Rell, intervewed recently on WPLR said, in response to a question about budget shortfalls…(recalled, not verbatim) “We don’t have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem.”  

Remember the old joke about the alcoholic?  Asked if he had a “drinking problem”.  He said “No, I don’t have a drinking problem, I have a stopping problem”.

Jodi isn’t bright enough to recognize the similarity.

What does an English journalist do for kicks? The Guardian isn’t hiring. Hitler is dead, and liberal satiation requires increasingly large doses of political smack to feel anything. 

If you’re at the BBC’s Channel 4,  you invite an Iranian Jew-hating pantload to deliver a “spiritual” message to the Brit population at Christmas.

Why don’t these sleazy Oxbridge worms just admit it?  The favorite of their parents and grandparents was Oswald Mosley (or Moseley), but none of them had the guts to admit it, or to do what Moseley wanted done.  

Today, the children have an even more malignant version of Mosley;  Drooling like submissive dogs, they’re on their backs, legs-up, wagging their tails for his approval. 

There will always be an England, apparently, in the same way that there will always be a France.

Where are the craven liberal bloggers damning and condemning this outrage by the Massachusetts Congressional delegation against the unemployed workers? How about the rest of the New England States also?

The neighboring states of Massachusetts and Vermont fought hard to be the best at ruining the holidays for their states’ workers.

Massachusetts was UNANIMOUS in the Congress just ended in favoring higher importations of foreign workers and in tying up millions of U.S. jobs with illegal foreign workers. Sanders broke the solidarity in Vermont by voting against some of the Democrat amnesty sweet deals.
Massachusetts is able to keep its unspoiled anti-American-worker record even though it has 12 Members in its delegation to keep in line.

140,000 NEW foreign workers enter each month even as a half-million American workers have been losing jobs monthly. In fact, Massachusetts, your delegation constantly worked to bring in MORE than 140,000 a month. Nice guys! Discipline such as this is redolent of the Comintern. What a sense of solidarity, not one elected Member of Congress from Massachusetts dares break with the rest by speaking up for the interests of the rising tide of unemployed “rezident proles.”

Vermont does well on it’s own in killing businesses with a hostile environment. With Leahy and Welch voting as they do, Vermont will sound like Venezuela with snow. We have enough illegals using the schools, social programs and the hospitals to increase the deficit beyond the serious condition the Legislature did on its own.

Connecticut had one Congressman vote to stop this idiocy; the NUTmegs fired him. Smart bunch down there too. They’re busy screwing the taxpayers while shoring up the economies of Central America.

Rhode Island, you fit right in with the moonbat class. The Delegation voting record is as bad as having four Kennedys serving. You have one disgrace to start.

Maine is lost and New Hampshire goes down the tube this year.

Only two good things are coming of this:

1. It is really screwing the Millenenials whose self-esteem causes them to think they are irreplaceable. They are finding out differently.
2. Consumer driven liberal twits are finding their life in the credit lane painfully vaporizing; the 201(k) is heading for the 101(k) and soon you’ll be renting upstairs in a tent.

Obama isn’t going to put gas in your car nor pay your rent. As for Gov Patrick, he thinks you’re good for one thing, more taxes, and Barney Frank doesn’t like you.

Now compete with Jose for the lawn mowing job.

In the NE Kingdom, this constitutes a seafood dinner.
A monkey dish of baked beans should accompany this feast.

This is a short link which needs no additional link to the Times article.  Just read the salient portion; it’s all you need to know.

My father was a British subject, with mixed admiration and contempt for the English.  He did, nevertheless, raise his three sons with a qualified respect for the  little island nation that propelled its language and culture so far afield, for so long, and bred men and women of extraordinary curiosity and bravery.

But now, even the finest hours of The Battle of Britain seem shabby and overwrought, and one wonders how much of their performance in that dire time was just  sleepwalking in a nightmare,  with death averted by simple good luck. 

I don’t go to the UK anymore.  It’s depressing.  All you need to know about the UK can be learned from the torrent of slime and crap oozing from BBC America, which takes the dreck of American pop culture and makes it even worse.   Pay particular attention to the cow-faced, curly-haired goofball on  “Top Gear”.  With the inferior’s envy of his betters he abhors America and American cars. 

This from a country that doesn’t even produce a Britsh automobile, a country that produced Lucas Electrics and the Austin Marina, and a country that can produce a place like Poole.  Paul Theroux observed that the Brits spend so much time staring at the sea because it puts the reality of England behind them.

Goodbye, Britain. 

Spied in DC, floating above The White House…

NOT LIKE THIS!  But, hey, for the ultimate in lib planetary consciousness, consider instructions for your after-form.   You could be loaded into a bullet, spiced into fireworks, compressed into a pencil, fancied-up as jewelry, charged into a battery or plastinated.  Soylentization is not an option…..for now.

Beer goggles last longer for women

For men, “beer goggles” wear off as quickly as the alcohol. But in women, the effect lasts much longer, a new study has revealed.

 Researchers found that women who drink even moderately develop a reduced ability to rate attractiveness in male faces, even when they are sober.

 Those who drank were less able to detect male facial symmetry, a marker of attractiveness and good genes which is thought to play an important role in the choice of a partner. [snip]

This goes miles in explaining liberals. The cognitive dissonance of socialist thought patterns and FLK’s becomes apparent with this study.

Obama voting, pony-tailed bike riding, Volvo loving, thick-ankled OPM spending busybodies that hold the Kennedy’s up as the new Peerage in America.

Further proof this study is accurate.
