Poor Man's Botox ... UPDATE: Shave-Driving Is Apparently a Problem Too

NEWARK -- Six city women seeking backside enhancements have been hospitalized in the last two months after getting injected with mixtures of hardware-grade caulk, silicone and petroleum jelly, according to a report in the New York Post.

The New Jersey Department of Health reported the incidents, and hospital officials said the injections all happened in hotels around the Newark area, the paper reported. The women were all from the Dominican Republic. No one has been charged.

A spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Health also reports that the six women now have backsides that are completely waterproofed and weather sealed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane.

ADMIN UPDATE: It seems shaving the nether regions while driving is even more dangerous than texting. From Jammiewearingfool:

As authorities nationwide warn motorists of the dangers of driving while texting, Florida Keys law enforcement officers add a new caution: Don't try to shave your privates, either.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers say a two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.

"She said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for the visit," Trooper Gary Dunick said. "If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed it. About 10 years ago I stopped a guy in the exact same spot ... who had three or four syringes sticking out of his arm. It was just surreal and I thought, 'Nothing will ever beat this.' Well, this takes it.

JWF was also gracious enough to share a little diddy that Iowahawk left over in the comments of Ace's version of this true-but-funneh:

Shavedown" (Brian Wilson / Iowahawk)

Wax it up, wax it up, cooter gonna shave you down!

It happened in the Keys where the road ain't wide,
A '95 T-Bird with white trash inside,
Yeah, a booze-injected bimbo and her mullet ex,
Revin' up her Remington for some boyfriend sex.

Wax it up, wax it up, cooter gonna shave you down!

The Remington's blades are really startin' out to buzz,
But now they're gettin' clogged and bogged down in the fuzz
To get some traction she's ridin' the clutch,
The smell of burning bush is really gettin' too much!

Swervin' down the road, and the sirens sound
Now her mohawk is the talk of town
Moral of the story, when you want the fuzz to go
Next time buy a Lady Norelco

Wax it up, wax it up, cooter gonna shave you down!

Poor Man's Botox ... UPDATE: Shave-Driving Is Apparently a Problem Too

Water, Water Everywhere But You Can't Have A Drink

England's public health care at it's finest.

A man dies - DIES - from thirst.

In an English NHS Hospital.

Surrounded, surrounded mind you, by public service doctors and nurses.

A man of 22 died in agony of dehydration after three days in a leading teaching hospital.

Kane Gorny was so desperate for a drink that he rang police to beg for their help.

They arrived on the ward only to be told by doctors that everything was under control.

The next day his mother Rita Cronin found him delirious and he died within hours.

She said nurses had failed to give him vital drugs which controlled fluid levels in his body. 'He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.'

He was denied critical care in a teaching hospital -- of course they must be teaching public health care -- AKA ObamaCare. Private health care is taught in other countries like the US. At least for a little while longer.

There is another description of the care this young man received:

"A person acts with criminal negligence with respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation."

Unfortunately for young Mr. Gorny, reasonable people were not involved with his care; incompetent, useless assholes were. Public health care at its finest.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command are investigating the death of Kane Gorny at St George's Hospital after this was referred to us by Westminster Coroner's Court."

A spokesman for St George's Hospital said: "We are extremely sorry about the death of Kane Gorny and understand the distress that this has caused to his family.

"A full investigation was carried out and new procedures introduced to ensure that
such a case cannot happen in future.

"We have written to the family to explain the actions that have been taken and to answer their concerns about Mr Gorny's care. The family has also been invited to meet with trust staff to discuss the case in detail."

The tragedy emerged a week after a report into hundreds of deaths at Stafford Hospital revealed the appalling quality of care given by many of the nurses.

Why is gross incompetence called a tragedy? Call it what it is, unconscionable negligence.

New procedures? How about new indictments? What kind of hellish old procedures were in effect when this young man died? What a crock of shit!

And then the grieving family is treated to the usual remedy offered by a government who cares not a farthing about their citizens. Public service unions make it impossible to get rid of dead wood who in turn produce dead patients.

The same sense of entitlement that permeates the welfare system has penetrated the health care system. Nurses are more interested in their perks and petty grievances than in providing decent care. Staff are not paid for being competent, they are paid for showing up. And as the bodies are carted out of the wards, the only ones paying attention to the carnage are the relatives.

This week a task force called on nurses to sign a public pledge that they will treat everyone with compassion and dignity.

A task force. What a useless, typically liberal response to a criminal act. I'd prefer competence over compassion any day of the week. Public service doctors and nurses will stand around with fake pity and compassion in their eyes while you slowly die from neglect.

And keep this in mind, the UK's National Health Service is the largest employer in the UK. It is also one of the largest employers in the world. One out of every twenty-three people who work in the UK do so for the NHS.

A total of 1,282,900 people in England have jobs with the NHS: 2 per cent of the 30 million people of working age.

Only the Chinese Army and the Indian State Railways are believed to employ more people — with 2.3 million and 1.5 million staff respectively — but both workforces represent a far smaller proportion of the national populations.

All that incompetence stuffed in such an itty-bitty island.

John Reid, the Health Secretary, said he was delighted with the growth, but added that he was aware that more action was needed to tackle existing staff shortages.

And they're not done yet.

Kamikaze Democrats

"That saki sucking bitch is gonna kill every damn one of us!" -- Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-CA , as he flies his vintage A6M Zero into a solid wall of taxpayer flak over the nation's capital.

The 500 kilogram economy-busting health care bombs slung under the fuselages of the Democrat's fleet of Zero's may soon be all jettisoned into the Potomac.

The legislation remains stuck in limbo, and there were fresh signs Wednesday of greater skepticism among some rank-and-file Democrats.

California Reps. Dennis Cardoza and Jim Costa, both moderates who voted for the House-passed health bill, burst out laughing when asked about the issue's fate.

Democrats are "having great difficulty trying to figure out what the art of the possible is," Costa said, adding, "some of our colleagues want their wish list to be the art of the possible."

Progressive Democrats in the House are fighting to revive a proposal for the government to sell health insurance in competition with private industry. That proposal was left for dead months ago when it became clear it could not pass the Senate. The Progressive Caucus in the House renewed its appeal for the so-called public option, and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., circulated a letter in support of the idea that has attracted signatures from about 120 House Democrats.

Cardoza and Costa scoffed at that.

"Those people are delusional," Cardoza said.

Meanwhile, back on board the Akagi, Rep. Eric Massa, D-NY, committed seppuku (literally "belly slitting") -- by resigning his Congressional seat after allegations surfaced that he sexually harassed his crew chief a male staffer, or maybe that was a male stripper. Ohhh, those crazy dems.

Demophobia

I live in Upstate New York. It is really a very beautiful state if you don't mind snow.

And corrupt politicians.

We keep losing NYS democrat pols due to various indiscretions:

Gov. Elliot "Spanky Spanky" Spitzer liked to romp with $4,000 dollar a night hookers and was asked to govern elsewhere;

The Lt. Gov. under Elliot Spitzer and current NYS Gov. Dave "Shut Up Bitch" Paterson announced last week that he is not running for reelection after influencing a domestic violence victim to not show up in a case against his top aide, David Johnson -- Paterson may still resign;

Fifteen term NY Congressman Charlie Rangel is stepping down from Chairman of one of the most powerful Congressional committees after - oh you know -- Snarky already tore him a new one;

And now brand new first-term NY Congressman Eric Massa announced today that he is resigning - after ethics complaints were lodged against him for sexually harassing one of his male staffers.

So now I am suffering from demophobia. A fear that if I step outside the house I will be insulted, robbed, beaten or buggered by a democrat politician.

Hard Times At The Olympic Village: A Moment Of Truth

In our frantic world there are dire emergencies every day. We are overwhelmed by disasters.

Port Au Prince is still in shambles from a 7.0 earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands.
Chile is reeling from a 8.8 earthquake that killed hundreds.

First the eastern seaboard and now the Northeast US buried in record breaking snow fall.
Floods and mudslides kill scores on Maderia Island, Portugal.

A minaret collapses during prayers killing over thirty in Morocco. Hmmmm. Maybe someone's prayers were answered by this.

But now this. I am literally at my wits end.

The athletes in the 7,000 athletes in the Olympic Village were allotted 100,000 free condoms, or about 14 condoms per person. Needless to say, they blew through them like it was nobody’s business and now they need more. The Vancouver condom shortage is soon to be remedied, an emergency shipment is on the way. Thank God.

I feel like Tiny Tim in Dickens' Christmas Carol. "God bless us everyone." Scrooge provides the stuffed Christmas Goose, elderberry wine, plum pudding and a gross of Trojans. Ohhh, Come All Ye Faithful!

We'll all sleep better at night knowing that the world's finest athletes are sheathed and lubed in preparation for the Free Style Mattress Competition.

Because some Olympic athletes can keep it up longer than others.

While some like their action in groups all snuggled close together.

And some are off all on their own.

Please. Someone send this guy condoms made from Kevlar, with nylon ripstop and Rhino™ Bed Liner if he needs them.

Al Gore's 30 Pieces of Silver

The wheels are finally coming off the Global Warming bus. Revelations that the data proving the "hockey stick" warming disappeared fom Dr. Jones sock drawer and manipulated temperature readings from across the globe have rocked the AGW movement. Scientists are either scrambling for excuses or have climbed into Maxwell Smart's "Cone of Silence." Al Gore is among the latter, he ain't saying squat as people throw the AGW bus's lugnuts at him.

On Tuesday, Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe -- a prominent skeptic of global warming theory and the Republican leader of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee -- issued a request for Gore to come testify on global warming. In an interview with FoxNews.com, Inhofe said he wants Gore to appear because "it will be interesting to ask him on what science he based his movie," a film the senator considers "science fiction."

Gore has yet to respond, but that didn't prevent him from causing a stir at Apple's shareholder meeting Thursday. According to CNET, Gore was seated in the first row while several stockholders bashed his high-profile views on climate change. One reportedly said Gore "has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not
melted."

Gore did not reply, and he has not commented on his blog or Twitter feed.

George Bush denied Gore his opportunity to wreck AGW havoc on the planet in 2000. So Gore went ahead on his own instead and made a few tens of millions for himself at the same time.

I have s sugggestion for Gore...

Al Gore's 30 Pieces of Silver

Who's Being Served?

What is a servant? This is a perfectly good question that should have a simple answer; except when it comes to politics. The word "servant" is from an Old French noun meaning to attend or wait upon. A trusted servant was (and still is) a valuable commodity. Servants ran the household, reared children and in many instances preserved the fortune of the family. Because of the position of trust they enjoyed, some were treated almost as members of the family.

In this sense, who are our public servants? Who are those who attend to and serve the citizens of the United States? The following photographs illustrate the heart of true public servants.
During the snowstorm that blanketed the Atlantic States recently, Washington, DC, shut down due to the inclement weather. Except for these young men - those entrusted with guarding the Tomb of the Unknown. They stand watch 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year without regard to any factor. In my opinion, the sense of duty instilled in the young men and women serving in our nation's armed forces is without parallel in the world.

Duty

Honor

Sacrifice

Trust and fidelity to the highest standards of conduct must be an integral component of public service. This is what we have come to expect from our public servants. And for this, we rightfully owe them our gratitude and our respect. And it should always be thus. Our sense of propriety demands it, our public institutions will fail without it.

Except for Congress. For centuries our politicians have been the brunt of jokes and scorn. Why? Because most of what they do is either meaningless, self aggrandizing or an out and out raid on the taxpayer's money. The only thing that's changed is the degree to which the American public has assumed the worst and refuses to be outraged at the shenanigans and goings on in the Nation's Capitol.

Part of this is that special interests have schemed with members of Congress to share in the public booty that is stolen from taxpayers. As co-conspirators of the largest transfer of wealth in modern history, they cannot point a finger at those members of Congress who, more egregiously than others, lie and steal for their own personal enrichment.

Like Charlie Rangel:

Rep. Charles Rangel, the influential chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, was publicly admonished by the House ethics panel Thursday for taking trips to the Caribbean that were paid for by private corporations.

Rangel, a New York Democrat and 39-year veteran of Congress, has been at the center of multiple ethics probes. At a Capitol Hill news conference, he said that he was "disturbed" by the result of the panel's eight-month investigation and that he would let the "community make its own judgment."

Now that is special. After pissing away tax money bribing bringing home the bacon stealing cheating lying serving the public for almost 40 years, good old Charlie will let the "community make its own judgement."
I'd much rather see a jury do that.

The committee has not released the results of its investigation into other alleged ethics violations by Rangel, including failing to disclose rental income on his villa in the Dominican Republic.

Of course not. They'd rather cover his lying ass by waiting until future chaos generated by Obozo, Reid and the Botox Express over health care creates a heavy fog over these crimes. In a few weeks everyone will be so terrified over Satan's Community Organized Health Insurance Plan that Rangel's problems will not register on the citizens' outrage radar. In his home district that radar was taken down, crated and shipped to Kenya where it tracks reporters looking for Obozo's birth certificate.

By time the tax fraud hits the news cycle on some distant Friday evening, the public will be in panic mode buying aspirin, band aids, sanitary napkins and suppositories. You heard it here first - buy stock in Boehringer-Ingelheim, the German manufacturers of Dulcolax.

Pick your poison, because if the Dems and RINOs have their way there'll be a burning and itching throughout this land that will make Moses' dealings with Pharaoh seem like a mosquito bite.

But Charlie has a perfectly good explanation for those pesky tax thingies.

"Common sense dictates that members of Congress should not be held responsible for what could be the wrongdoing or mistakes or errors of staff unless there's reason to believe that member knew or should have known," Rangel said Thursday evening.

Buying and selling property on a corrupt Caribbean island. Check! Tax evasion. Check!

Stashing away God Only Knows Where This Moola Came From in a couple half million dollar accounts. Check!

That's what staff is for! His staff also ate his homework and probably contributed to Rangel's other legal problems:

The trips are not the only problem for Rangel. The committee still is looking at the congressman's use of official stationery to raise money for a college center in his name as well as his belated financial disclosure of hundreds of thousands of dollars in previously unreported assets and income. Those included a federal credit union account worth between $250,001 and $500,000; a Merrill Lynch account between $250,000 and $500,000; tens of thousands of dollars in municipal bonds and $30,000 to $100,000 in rent from a residential building in New York.

And that's only the accounts that federal investigators managed to kick up. It seems a little strange that everyone in the US lost their 401k last year except Congressman Charlie Rangel, don't it?

Will Rangel be forced to remove himself from Congress like former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay? DeLay was indicted and forced to resign in 2005. Funny thing, a judge threw out those charges that Ronnie Earle, the democrat DA who indicted DeLay, took six grand juries to impose.

Obama: America's Marxist Fruitcake

Remember the fruitcake your mother's second cousin mailed to the house every Christmas? It sat there moldering in the tin on the dining room table until well after New Year's Day had come and gone. Maybe one or two small pieces were cut out with a chainsaw by the more adventurous of your friends and relatives. It always disappeared before the Superbowl or as soon as Dad figured he could get away with trashing it.

Obozo is like that. He is here for a season and we will get rid of him as soon as possible without offending the relatives. We're all gagging on the Hope n' Change seasoning that congealed into a slimy coating covering the cake and the &%#ing retarded nuts scattered around in the cake are really obnoxious but, gee, it's Christmas and Cousin Edwina really means well.

Obama: America's Marxist Fruitcake

Comrade Stalin, Pick Up On Line One

We keep getting glimpses of the Obama mindset, the Chicago Thugocracy if you please, represented by off hand remarks made by the President as well as those close to him. The insight generated by these remarks is not comforting at all.

Obama and his supporters have a problem with people who oppose their proposals. The Soviets had the same problem and addressed it in their own way.

Funny thing, the Soviets and the Nazis adopted common measures when dealing with people they didn't like. It did not turn out well for the opposers. Thank goodness that can't happen here in America; organized thugs would never attack peaceful folk opposed to a socialist philosophy.

Ooops. Forget that picture of SEIU members helping someone change their mind.

When it comes to ObamaCare and the pressure being generated to force this socialist power grab down our throats, we can only pray that our voices will be heard by enough Senators to defeat any attempt at reconciliation. From the NY Times:

Tempers were fraying in the White House Cabinet Room as night turned into morning on Jan. 15. President Obama had been cloistered nearly all day with House and Senate Democrats, playing “marriage counselor,” an aide said, as he coaxed, cajoled and prodded them on a health care overhaul.

Obama played Yenta for the ugly, red-headed, drooling Frankenstein health care system. American wants no part of it and returned the cubic zirconia engagement ring. If this creature ever comes to life, it will stumble and rumble through our economy like a runaway tank.“

‘See what you guys can figure out,’ ” one participant remembers him saying, adding that the failed effort left the president mad.

Poor Mr. Obama left the meeting with his panties all in a wad.

Solution? Simple. We need a Panty Czar to pry out and unwad those bikini cuts.

Ever since his days as a young community organizer in Chicago, Mr. Obama has held fast to the belief that by listening carefully and appealing to reason he can bring people together to get results, an approach that in Washington has often come up short.

But there are results - Obama just doesn't like them. The results are simple; if you look at his plan reasonably, Obamacare is a pile of crap.

Solution? Simple. Drop it as if you were caught in a mosque with a pulled pork sandwich during Ramadan. And wipe the BBQ sauce from your face.

He is not showing any signs of changing his style. But he is facing perhaps the toughest test yet of his powers of persuasion: winning the votes he needs, in the face of unified Republican opposition and a deteriorating climate for Democrats, to push his health care measure through a skittish Congress.

The author, Ms. Stolberg, conveniently forgets that the Republicans were virtually powerless since January of last year until this month when Scott Brown stole the Senate seat belonging to Commodore Oldsmobile, ending the Democratic super majority.

Unified Republican opposition? They couldn't stop the Democratic steamroller if they tried. But don't tell Obozo that, he can't hear you through those wadded panties. Especially when his advisers start channeling their inner Stalin.

“If the president weren’t tough, if the president weren’t committed, if the president didn’t believe that this was an imperative for the future of American families, businesses and the sustainability of our budget, this thing would have been dead six months ago,” David Axelrod, Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, said in an interview. “I would love to live in a world where the president could snap his fingers or even twist arms and make change happen, but in this great democracy of ours, that’s not the way it is.”

The Soviets were all about change too. Apparently Axelrod has taken notes. He would love to snap fingers, twist arms, maybe break some legs, imprison a few relatives, or even shoot a protester or two.

I'd love to live in a world where I could bury my boot up his ass whenever I wanted.

Comrade Stalin, Pick Up On Line One

Something's In The Air

QUESTION: When is a shitstorm not a shitstorm?

ANSWER: When it is brewing right under the nose of the MSM.

Oh yes. There is something nasty in the air. It leaves a greasy tang inside your nostrils if you walk through the foul mist emanating from the White House. Maybe Obama's gotta cut back on Michelle's sewer-enriched collard greens.

From Jeffrey Lord in the American Spectator:

A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.

For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.

The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.

If it gets any worse they'll have to hose down all the tourists walking by the White House. The press corps will be forced to wear HazMat suits. On second thought, never mind about the press. They're part of the stink.

The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

On Friday, Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, the Democrat challenging Specter for re-nomination, launched the controversy by accusing the Obama White House of offering him a federal job in exchange for his agreeing to abandon his race against Specter.

There's the one senate race in PA the White House tried to fix. But our bad boy wasn't done. There's another load he was grunting out across the country in Colorado.

[...]In the Colorado case, the Post reported that while Romanoff refused comment on a withdrawal-for-a-job offer, "several top Colorado Democrats described Messina's outreach to Romanoff to The Post, including the discussion of specific jobs in the administration. They asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject."

The Post also noted that the day after Romanoff announced his Senate candidacy, President Obama quickly announced his endorsement of Senator Bennet.

The discovery that the White House has now been reported on two separate occasions in two different states to be deliberately committing a potential violation of federal law -- in order to preserve the Democrats' Senate majority -- could prove explosive in this highly political year. The 60-seat majority slipped to 59 seats with the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, a Democrat, and the election of Republican Senator Scott Brown. Many political analysts are suggesting democrats could lose enough seats to lose their majority altogether.

That's one hell of a job you're doing there, Skippy. And from Our Big Giant Book of Federal No-No's, here is the money quote:

18 USC Sec. 211

Bribery, Graft and Conflicts of Interest: Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office

"Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both."

One subpoena, two subpoena, three subpoena, four...

UPDATE: What Hero?

I just got through reading the online suicide note of Joseph Stack, the software engineer who flew his single-engine Piper Cherokee into an Austin, TX, office building. Apparently he not only killed himself but took another person's life as well and injured a dozen more. And he missed the IRS office he was aiming at in the first. This was not only suicide but also murder and assault.

But before setting foot in the cockpit, he sets fire to his house - apparently with his family yet inside! Was he trying to kill them also?

Of course no one in their right mind will condone these actions; my intent is not to affix culpability- Stack alone is responsible for his actions - nor to flail away at the government, although there is a wealth of material to be covered there. I am more interested in the notion being bandied about that Joe Stack is some kind of anti-tax Tea Party hero.

He is not a hero, far from it.

He is also not deranged.

He is most certainly selfish, self absorbed, perhaps narcissistic. Any man who loves his family more than his own life would not have chosen the path he took. His hatred for whatever the government did to him should not have taken precedence over his concern for the welfare of his family. And his blind, breathtaking disregard for the lives of other people stuns me.

His actions are more like that of a spoiled child.

If Joe can't have his way, then Joe is going home.

And he is taking all his marbles with him whether they like it or not.

In retrospect, how bad can life be if you can afford to own and operate a Piper Cherokee PA-28 airplane to visit your clients?

UPDATE: What Hero?

Obama Sez: Don't Worry! Be Happy!

Obozo thinks we are all idiots, that we can't see the road that he and the Democrats are leading us down.

But we do have a road song:

Fourteen trillion, two hundred ninety-four billion bottles of beer on the wall.

Fourteen trillion, two hundred ninety-four billion bottles of beer!

If one of those bottles should happen to fall,

Fourteen trillion, two hundred ninety-three billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall!

From ABC News:

Behind closed doors and with no cameras present, President Obama signed into law Friday afternoon the bill raising the public debt limit from $12.394 trillion to $14.294 trillion.

The current national debt is $12.3 trillion. Check out the National Debt Clock, which tells you your share of that -- roughly $40,000 per citizen, $113,000 per taxpayer.

It takes about eight seconds to sing a single stanza of the above refrain. In order to bring it down to the previous debt limit of $12.394 trillion, you'll have to sing non-stop for over 481,000 years.

To bring it back to where it was

If the United States embarks upon the same economic journey that Argentina traveled from 1975 through 1992, Bill Gates estimated 2010 fortune of $60 billion will be worth 60 cents by 2032.

As is always the case with rapid inflation, the price increase in Argentina was fueled by rapid expansion of the money supply. The seigniorage earned from monetary expansion served the needs of the government as a method of taxation that was difficult to avoid and politically easy to enact.

This is what happened to the Weimar Republic in 1923 when the German government was printing 2 Trillion Mark notes; hyperinflation destabilized the country, setting the stage for the ascendancy of the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party - the Nazi's.

Pearl Buck, the American writer who became famous for her novels of China, was in Germany in 1923. She wrote later: "The cities were still there, the houses not yet bombed and in ruins, but the victims were millions of people. They had lost their fortunes, their savings; they were dazed and inflation-shocked and did not understand how it had happened to them and who the foe was who had defeated them. Yet they had lost their self-assurance, their feeling that they themselves could be the masters of their own lives if only they worked hard enough; and lost, too, were the old values of morals, of ethics, of decency."

The fledgling Nazi party, whose attempted coup had failed in 1923, won 32 seats legally in the next election. The right-wing Nationalist party won 106 seats, having promised 100 percent compensation to the victims of inflation and vengeance on the conspirators who had brought it.

This is what is happening right now in Zimbabwe: in 2008 the UK Telegraph reported that, "Inflation levels in Zimbabwe are running at 13.2 billion per cent a month." A month!

In post Second World War Hungary monthly inflation reached 12,950,000,000,000,000 per cent, with prices doubling every 15.6 hours – Zimbabwean prices are currently doubling every 1.3 days.

The most famous hyperinflation, Weimar Germany in 1923, is in a distant fourth place, at 29,525 per cent a month with prices doubling every 3.7 days.

Obozo and the Democrats have another three years to reduce us to this level. This is how the socialists intend to stay in power forever.

Obama Sez: Don't Worry! Be Happy!

Obama's Hopey, Change Circus

Upon his capture, the most beautiful words a terrorist can hear are the following:

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

If you read the above paragraph, you have just been "Mirandized." That is the Miranda Warning that law enforcement officers must recite to every criminal suspect they question -- if they want to introduce something as evidence in any criminal proceeding.

The ringleaders for Obama's Hopey Change Circus, Mssrs. Holder and Gibbs, maintain that the proper procedure for bringing terrorists to justice is arrest them and give them full Constitutional protection as afforded to every American citizen. From the Weekly Standard, Thomas Joscelyn writes:

During an interview on MSNBC Thursday morning, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs defended the Obama administration’s handling of Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Gibbs argued that the administration was right to treat Abdulmutallab as a criminal defendant, instead of as an enemy combatant. “Just because you make somebody an enemy combatant [it] doesn’t make them talk,” Gibbs argued. He then pointed to an example from the Bush years to supposedly support his point.

“Jose Padilla was made an enemy combatant so that we could get him to talk,” Gibbs said. “And guess what happened when we made him an enemy combatant, he didn't talk. He did talk when he was transferred back into a civilian court.”

President Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, made the same point on Tuesday in an op-ed for USA Today. Brennan argued: “Terrorists such as Jose Padilla and Saleh al-Mari did not cooperate when transferred to military custody, which can harden one's determination to resist cooperation.”

Brennan and Gibbs are wrong. In fact, Jose Padilla only started cooperating once he was transferred into the military’s custody and interrogated.

Joscelyn also calls their bluff:

Thus, when Padilla was initially detained by the FBI in May 2002 authorities knew he was up to no good. The FBI questioned Padilla for several hours but got nowhere. A copy of the FBI’s 302 memo written after the initial questioning of Padilla shows that al Qaeda’s man gave the bureau nothing. Padilla talked about his personal history but said nothing about his real intentions or his nefarious friends.

So a month later, in June 2002, Padilla was transferred back into military custody. Things changed in a hurry. Waterboarding is my friend.

The memo then reads: “Since that time [June 9, 2002], additional and more detailed intelligence information about Jose Padilla has been developed and made available in unclassified form.”

As a retired LEO, I have had to deal with the consequences of Miranda v. Arizona. In NYS the restrictions are even greater. If a suspect is already in criminal proceedings from a prior arrest, the right to counsel automatically attaches and you cannot interrogate him under any circumstances unless he first confers with his lawyer. This means that even if the suspect wants to confess and voluntarily waives his right to counsel, he cannot and you cannot until he talks with his lawyer,

Obama, Brennan, Holder and Gibbs want to reduce terrorism to the level of a convenience store robbery.

They want to turn this:

What's New In Bill Clinton's Medical News

Former President William Clinton was hospitalized this afternoon; he was admitted to Columbia's New York Presbyterian Hospital after complaining of chest pains.

Famous for his legendary poor eating habits, doctors realized that ordinary measures would probably be defeated in the long term. Instead, they opted for something different; they inserted two stents of an experimental design into one of the President's coronary arteries.

In the above photo, a crack surgical team prepares the first of two surgical stents to be placed in ex-President Clinton's artery.

Nicknamed the "Bacon Double Cheeseburger Memorial Super Highway," these stents were manufactured for people with an LDL of 750 and over.

Where is Al Gore?

Where is Al Gore? I have been looking high and low for him since the East Anglia emails were made public and I see neither hide nor hair of the Mighty Gore.

And now that the Mid-Atlantic states are sweltering under several feet of Global Warming Flakes™ with more on the way, I think Al should make himself available to calm the affected populations and, oooooooh, who knows, lend a shovel.



Has anybody heeeeeeeere seen my old friend Al?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He screwed alot of people,
Some of them died so young...
Since the emails, he's been gone.


Some pretty special "people" really, really miss Mr. Al.

TOTUS Is TOAST

TELEPROMPTER

FAIL!!

In an unprecedented incident, both of the President's primary teleprompters (TOTUS1 and TOTUS2) failed to come online this afternoon.

The President's troubles did not end there. Also failing to operate were the President's Main Backup Teleprompter (MBKUPTOTUS), the Mini-Mobile Remote Teleprompter (TOTUS R2-D2), and the high earth-orbit Sat Tel Star Teleprompter (GODTOTUS).

Due to scheduling conflicts there was no other choice for White House officials but to use the simplest means of reminding the President of his priorities during today's impromptu White House press conference.

John Murtha - R.I.P. (in Hell)

From Breitbart.com:

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - U.S. Rep. John Murtha, an influential critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.

The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., spokesman Matthew Mazonkey said.

I believe that the dead should be left alone. It speaks rather badly to those who would attack a man's memory when he can no longer defend himself.
He now rests far beyond our power to indict or bless.
He now answers to God and God alone.
With that thought in mind, I am organizing a mass urination on his grave to celebrate his life.

Murtha's critics recall the Abscam corruption probe, in which the FBI caught him on videotape in a 1980 sting operation turning down a $50,000 bribe offer while holding out the possibility that he might take money in the future.

"We do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested and maybe I won't," Murtha said on the tape.

Six congressmen and one senator were convicted in that case. Murtha was not charged, but the government named him as an unindicted co-conspirator and he testified against two other congressmen. [emph. mine~sig94]

Last year, Congress stalled in naming a subcommittee to investigate his involvement with the PMA Group which donated $1,7 million to his campaign as well as Kuchera Defense Systems Inc, good for another $100 large, for kickbacks to other defense contractors. And the list of earmarks for political donations goes on.

He was indeed a maggot among men. This is a photograph of Murtha eating lunch with his fellow corrupt Congressmen.

For an interactive swim through the maggot infested waters of John Murtha's Congressional pool, go to You Don't Know Jack.



UPDATE:

(CNN) [...] The Democratic congressman recently underwent scheduled laparoscopic surgery at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, to remove his gallbladder. The procedure was "routine minimally invasive surgery," but doctors "hit his intestines," a source close to the late congressman told CNN.

Apparently Jack died after swimming in his own shit.

Which One Is Elvis? Which One Is Tiny Tim?

God Bless our Armed Forces.

Even though the men and women who serve our nation so bravely are forced betimes to sip from the Cup of Political Correctness, no one can force them to drink deeply - or to swallow. Perhaps this is none so true as in the USMC.

No one can order a heart-felt, shake the walls, pound the table, rock star type welcome.

So, the question here is: Which greeting is for Elvis as he enters the auditorium and which greeting is for Tiny Tim?

The following is a comparison of a Marine Corps welcome for two different Commanders in Chief.

The difference is astounding!

For those of you perhaps too young to remember, this link will show you Tiny Tim's act , but who was Tiny Tim?

Yes, I saw the original skit on Laugh In as depicted above. I can still almost hear my Dad say "WTF?" Which is what many Americans are starting to say now that the "magic" has worn off. No longer is Obama tip toeing through the tulips. He is now stumbling through the skunk weed.
