Like many Americans Dan Issa has had enough. Apparently Eric Holder thought he could play fast and loose in turning over documents subpoenaed by Congress. What he has sent, according to the CBS story are a lot of duplicate and heavily redacted documents. It will be interesting to see if he tries to contort this into an attack against "his people".Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387067.post-39018319943826019912012-04-26T11:19:00.000-04:002012-04-26T11:19:03.743-04:00I'm Baaaaa-aaaaackBeen away for a while.

Well, duh! Most sane people were trying to point this out during the debate on the legislation. Now, Prince Albert is saying that he is shocked, shocked to learn that food prices are going up because you take 41% of your corn out of the food supply.<br /><br />So, Mr. Gore, in recognition for your lifetime achievment in corruption masked by phony cluelessness, this is for you:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1DEG6BWgp0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1DEG6BWgp0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387067.post-62845220321493810742010-11-21T08:19:00.006-05:002010-11-21T14:48:15.680-05:00Louis Renault Award 11/21/10... And the Winner is:<a href=http://michellemalkin.com/2010/11/18/rangel-wrist-slap-hearing-convenes/>Charlie Rangel </a>. But it was close this week, he had close competition from soon-to-be-former Speaker of the House, <a href=http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101117/ap_on_re_us/us_congress_pelosi>Nancy Pelosi</a>. Now Pelosi has some style, I'll give her that. A huge percent of the sixty Hous seats that flipped were taken by making Nancy the issue. To her this was proof of her effective leadership.<br />What won it for Rangel was the fact that, barring expusion, he will still be on the committee that writes monetary policy for the country. After being caught violating numerous House ethics rules he showed up at the committe hearing asking for time to find a lawyer. Now, he had one which resigned. Then he stonewalled claiming he needed time to get another laywer. The hearing committee was not having any of that and declared he had offered no defense. When the full committee met for its recommendation he showed up using his years of service as a defense. Then for good measure he brought in John Lewis to argue that he knew nothing of the charges against Good-Time Charlie but he was important in the Civil Rights Movement.<br /> While Pelosi was reduced to being a yap-yap dog with a title. Not to worry, San Fran Nan still has potential and may win yet.

Since He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Middle-Named seemed to think that declaring the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court was a good idea he might have overlooked a few things. Not the least of which that any challenge to any of his initiatives might result in their being struck down on Constitutional issues. Even the swing vote on the High Court (Kennedy) has reportedly said he will not retire while Obama was in office.

For those of you scratching your head going, "The what?" I will give you a little background. <br />In the movie, <i>Casablanca</i>, Captain Renault was the pragmatic, quasi-corrupt but somewhat likable chief of police. Under pressure to do something he knew he shouldn't he concocted an absurd claim only to have that claim put to the lie almost immediately as seen in this clip:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1DEG6BWgp0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T1DEG6BWgp0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />This week's co recipients are Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, and Obama Shadow Government Czarina Carol Browner who after months of denying that they misrepresented the opinions that "peer-reviewed" their moratorium on offshore drilling, saw their lie crumble before their eyes with the report of the Interior Department Inspector General as detailed by <a href=http://michellemalkin.com/2010/11/12/throw-carol-browner-under-the-bus/>Michelle Malkin</a>. One <i>caveat</i> about the award, the recipients, like in this case Salazar and Browner, will not always be somewhat likable like Captain Renault.

However, now that this recent flap over his middle name has reached the point that he has become He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Middle-Named I couldn't resist.<br /><br />While keeping up with the whine-a-thon that has become the Democrat race for the presidential nomination, a couple of things are standing out to me that tell me the two left standing that really are not presidential material.<br /><br />Hilary's constant droning how "everybody's being mean to me because I'm a woman" is proof-positive that she is not cut out to be a president. If she pulls that with her counterparts in other countries she will be laughed off the world stage. Anybody ever remember Maggie Thatcher pulling that? Anybody ever remember Maggie Thatcher getting her hubby to ride in and run interference for her? Nope, didn't think so.<br /><br />Obama is a different matter. He is smooth and well spoken and his rhetoric sounds great on surface. Hence my problem with him, nobody is looking beyond the rhetoric at policy position. He makes people feel good. I don't doubt that he is a good man with good intentions, but misguided. I am also concerned that he too has too thin of a skin. I think it is ridiculous that we now cannot say his middle name. I don't care if his middle name is "Attila", I am more interested in what he is proposing. Making him into He-Who-Must-Be-Middle-Named is absolutely ridiculous. It is as ridiculous as opponents referring to him as Barak Housein Obama in hopes of scaring voters away from him. If he had renamed himself that after the fall of Sadam I could making it an issue. Since such is not the case, enough about his middle name. There are more substantial concerns about the man than this nonsense.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387067.post-10403379219065778952008-02-09T07:23:00.000-05:002008-02-09T07:23:09.226-05:00Follow the Link, Hilarity EnsuesFor those of you who have not found it yet, you should mosey on over to YouTube and check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHTjbdZqi84">YouTube - NewsBusted Conservative Comedy</a>.

Our first clue was McCain Feingold. How could anybody who claims to cherish the Constitution support, let alone attach his name to such a travesty. His defenders tell us he just wanted to clean up dirty campaigning. Well, McCain-Feingold has not produced the desired result. There are so many loopholes in it you can use it for a sieve.<br /><br />Apparently the Senator is calling in favors. According to <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/02/04/hey-bob-dole-get-back-in-your-cage/">Michelle Malkin </a>, Bob Dole is running interference for him. In a letter to Rush Limbaugh, Mr. Dole invited the talk show host to stop questioning McCain's bonafides as a conservative. Yes, this is the same Bob Dole who once told a critic to get back in his cage. I agree with Dole that eight years of Clinton was enough, I have a big problem with somebody with "Senator" in front of his name telling somebody not to exercise their right to express a political opinion. Especially when doing so on behalf of somebody else with "Senator" in front of his name who is running for President of the US.<br /><br />If Senator McCain and his surrogates don't want their positions and/or character questioned they should stop engaging in questionable activities, like throwing their weight around politically to silence criticism, and continuing to shred the First Amendment. It's nice that Senator McCain supports the right to life and Second Amendment rights, I just wish he had more respect for the first Amendment.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387067.post-25647226302787000782008-02-04T06:08:00.002-05:002008-02-04T06:29:26.638-05:00That is Why They play the GameFor two weeks we had to listen to football pundits, commentators and clueless fans anoint the New England Patriots the winners of Super Bowl XLII. The odds makers installed them as fourteen-point favorites over the New York Giants. "The Pats will make history on February 3 and be the first team to have a 19-0 record in one season", they proclaimed. Some even said the fourteen-point spread was overly kind to the Giants.<br /><br />They forgot one minor detail: the game had yet to be played. Many people bet the Giants to beat the spread, but the arrogant odds makers were so sure of themselves they didn't adjust the line. Not only did the Giants beat the spread, they went out and won the game! Sure that wasn't supposed to happen, but somebody forgot to tell that to the Giants.<br /><br />Now, why am I posting this in a mostly socio-political blog? Mainly because of the Republican nomination process as it stands now. It looks good for McCain right now, which, in my opinion is bad for the party. The man who sought to be John Kerry's running mate and almost joined "Jumping Jim" Jeffords in leaving the party. The man who pays more attention to <i>La Raza</i> while making the Minute Men out to be some kind of organized crime family should not be this party's nominee. You may disagree with me, that is fine, I still love ya, I just disagree. And on balance, I would rather have the military in McCain's hands than those of Hillary or Obama. Just please reconsider choosing him as the nominee. Or at least think twice before anointing him.<br /><br /><font color=red>One more thing.

The column deals with papers from Hillary's health care task force secured by <a href=http://www.judicialwatch.org/judicial-watch-releases-records-re-hillary-s-health-care-reform-plan-0>Judicial Watch</a> only after a law suit.<br /><br />Of particular interest is a document by somebody with the initials "P.S." titled, “A Critique of Our Plan". The document contains an admission that critics of the plan were right and that the plan might not even be workable and that there was no precedent for such a government takeover of such a large segment of the economy during peace time.<br /><br />Now you may be asking yourself why the news media hasn't been all over this. Well, there is a memorandum by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) that might contain a few hints. After criticizing the task force as being, "“secret cabal of Washington policy ‘wonks’” that has engaged in “choking off information” from the public regarding health care reform." the memo goes on to suggest that Hillary use “use classic opposition research" to “expose lifestyles, tactics and motives of lobbyists” (read: or any other critic for that matter). The Junior Senator from West virginia goes on to advise that news organizations were "...anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage." <br /><br />Now you know why the MSM is not all over this.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387067.post-34898904216557975362008-01-20T08:46:00.000-05:002008-01-20T09:17:15.681-05:00What the Hell is Wrong with SC Republicans?Do we have such short memories that we would select John McCain in the primary? We boast of our conservatism and vote for a man who shredded the First Ammendment. We talk of boarder security and vote for a man who crafted an amnesty bill that could have been written by <i>La Raza</i>.<br />The only thing I can figure is that there were a lot of Dems taking advantage of the state's open primaries. Maybe it's time SC started partisan registration. This certainly makes a case. Then again, that won't stop RINOs from voting for RINOs.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01876216710452769820noreply@blogger.com0
