Joe Biden is a Bumbling Idiot (in case you weren’t paying attention)

Joe Biden opens mouth, inserts foot (again):

Vice President Joe Biden asked for God’s blessing for the late mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen during a White House celebration of St. Patrick’s Day — except the elderly lady is very much alive.

“God rest her soul,” Biden said Wednesday night as he introduced Cowen and President Barack Obama. He quickly caught himself and noted that it’s Cowen’s father who is no longer living. Of the prime minister’s mother, Biden said, “God bless her soul.”

Hey, at least he didn’t ask a man in a wheel chair to take a stand…wait…what? You say he did that, too? For crying out loud….

Perhaps Biden was drunk. Or maybe the idiot just needs his own little portable teleprompter (can Biden even read?). I think Obama must have selected Biden for no other reason that to distract voters from his own failings — well, that and to keep from being the biggest joke in his own administration.

Michael Yon on What Should Happen to OBL if He’s Captured Alive

Michael Yon, who might know a thing or two more about combat than the entirety of the Obama administration

Michale Yon (via Facebook):

Osama bin Laden is a cult leader. A dog trainer. If OBL is captured alive, his head and beard should be shaved. He should be photographed naked for the world. The final, enduring image of this cult leader should be that of a shaved, helpless rat abandoned by all.

And, afterward, he should be hanged from the nearest tree in full public view. Once he’s dead his body should be fed to pigs. I’ll volunteer for any stage of his punishment.

Yon’s statement is in response to this Christian Science Monitor article where General Stanley McChrystal, the US commander in Afghanistan, said Wednesday that given the opportunity, the US would like to capture Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden alive, despite what Attorney General Eric Holder said. Of course, Eric Holder knows about as much about combat as President Obama knows about budgetary constraint.

Sandra Bullock Blind Sided By Husband’s Rumored Affair with a Tattoo Model

Michelle Bombshell McGee: Tattoo model and homewrecker

Uh oh. Rumors are swirling that Jesse James, sort-of known for his company West Coast Choppers, but more known for being the husband of Sandra Bullock, was a bad biker while Sandy was filming Blind Side.

Tattoo model (way to aim high on the career ladder, honey) Michelle “Bombshell” McGee is claiming that she prostituted herself out to James in order to get a modeling job with his bike company.

McGee told In Touch magazine she and James had sex repeatedly while Bullock was shooting “The Blind Side” in 2009.

She told the magazine she thought James and Bullock were separated.

[snip]

McGee said she originally reached out to James because she wanted to get a modeling job at his company West Coast Choppers. She said she was surprised when he responded and asked her to send photos to his personal email, In Touch reports.

Sleeping her way to the top: well done, Michelle Bombshell!

As for Jesse James and Sandra Bullock’s marriage — Sandy really has no one but herself to blame. Seriously, what do you expect from a man who leaves his pregnant porn star wife to marry you? It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that his moral compass might be a little broken.

General rule of thumb: a man who will leave his pregnant wife for another woman will probably cheat on his new woman too. Same goes for a man who leaves his cancer stricken wife for his campaign videographers…he’ll probably deny their love child and eventually cheat on her too.

Obama: US Flag too Imperialist to Fly in Haiti

Why, if I ever get the chance to meet Obama and shake his hand, I’d probably spit on him instead:

The many nations helping Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake that struck there have set up their own military compounds and fly their flags at the entrances.

France’s tricolor, Britain’s Union Jack and even Croatia’s coat of arms flap in the breeze.

But the country whose contributions dwarf the rest of the world’s — the United States — has no flag at its main installation near the Port-au-Prince airport.

The lack of the Stars and Stripes does not sit well with some veterans and servicemembers who say the U.S. government should be proud to fly the flag in Haiti, given the amount of money and manpower the U.S. is donating to help the country recover from the Jan. 12 quake.

The Obama administration says flying the flag could give Haiti the wrong idea.

“We are not here as an occupation force, but as an international partner committed to supporting the government of Haiti on the road to recovery,” the U.S. government’s Haiti Joint Information Center said in response to a query about the flag…

And this is just one more reason I won’t vote for President any person who has never served on active duty in the United States military.

But with Obama it’s more than simply his unfamiliarity with the military. It’s that he despises them and what they do. And, in this instance, it’s just another example of how little he thinks of America (as it is — though he has grand plans to change our great Nation [into something less great]).

I think part of the reason Obama loathes the men and women who serve so bravely is because he knows that they are his betters, and that he could never walk in their shoes. And just knowing that makes him feel weak and inferior (which he is).

Uncle Jimbo is one of those brave American warriors (retired) who is a better man and a better American than Obama, and he doesn’t hold back:

Shut your cake hole you pitiful little drone. The very idea that the US flag represents an occupying force is offensive. I am truly glad for your sake that you are hidden in an air-conditioned room somewhere while real Americans are out saving lives. The US flag is a beacon of freedom everywhere on Earth and always has been. We have freed more oppressed people, destroyed more tyrants and done more humanitarian work than any other country in history. If the Haitians are offended by our flag, then we can take it and all the rest of the tens of millions of dollars worth of aid and assistance right back to the mainland.

I am trying to track these weasels down, I will advise. Can someone w/ AKO access send Buckner’s email address? jimbo AT unclejimbo dot com or in the comments.

Seriously — If Haitians are offended by the US Flag being flown while we’re their bringing them humanitarian aid, food, medical treatment — well, let them fend for themselves. On the otherhand, I don’t believe for a second that the Haitians care one damned bit about our flag flying. Obama is the only one who cares about the US Flag flying.

As one of the commenters at BlackFive noted, “I can’t wait until we have a President again who is not ashamed to be an American.”

Me too.

_________

UPDATE — Uncle Jimbo found that email for Col. Buckner and here’s what he wrote:

Dear COL Buckner,

I assume you are getting a fair amount of email, but it is warranted. I served in 1st SFG(A) and on many disaster relief missions where we always flew a US flag for two reasons. One, we were “showing the flag” to remind the people we were helping who came to their rescue, and two, because we are the US military and proud of it. We are not an NGO pretending to be citizens of Earth, we then and you now represent our country proudly. If the Haitian Prime Minister doesn’t like to see our flag, then fold it up and bring it back here along with the vital aid and assistance it represents.

It is one thing to be aware of diplomatic concerns, it is another completely to allow them to force us to hang our heads.

Yeah…what he said.

What a colossal joke Obama is. It’s no wonder he is so widely despised by the men and women of our Armed Services.

More thoughts and reacts over at Memeorandum.

Circumventing the Consent of the Governed

Nancy Pelosi is leading the Democrats over a cliff as she attempts to pass the health care reform bill without having members vote on it. A law that nobody wants, that nobody has read, is poised to be passed without even a vote. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) nails it when he says that Pelosi has House Dems “liquored up on sake” ready for a “suicide run.”

And the reason that Nancy won’t call for a vote is because she doesn’t have the votes and it would fail.

And the reason that the bill would be voted down is that 1) the people of the United States overwhelmingly oppose it, and 2) the Congressmen know they will lose their jobs if they pass this against their constituents wishes.

The Death of Democracy

If Nancy Pelosi succeeds in pushing this un-Constitutional piece of crap through without a vote, then AJ Strata is right: The Week Democracy Died In America:

We face the end of our democracy this week, as the lazy and lying politicians and their enablers inside the Political Industrial Complex (PIC: consultants, lobbyists, staffers, well connect special interests, compliant news media) refuse to let the people chose their path.

[snip]

All they moan about is getting a vote for their proposals. Something they were free to do (and lose on) for over a year now. But that is all really a lie my friends. There will be no vote.

If this passes without a vote, I agree with Dan Reihl: I will not bend to this non-law:

It’s unclear whether or not Obama and his Democrats want to provoke a Constitutional crisis that could make Watergate look more like a misdemeanor, than a high crime. Personally, I can’t see myself bending to what would be, in effect, a non-law. The word to attempt a takeover of such a significant portion of the economy and American life through un-Constitutional means is tyranny, not law.

If Nancy passes this and Obama signs it, all without a vote, they will have circumvented the consent of the governed. I hope that our great state of Texas will continue to fight against the tyranny of the Federal government and stand up for the 10th Amendment and deem (hey, if Congress can do it, why can’t we?) Obamacare to be unconstitutional and therefore refuse to comply or participate.

I will join a massive “non-compliance” campaign. Every conservative/libertarian/traditional value organization and blog must join the blow-back campaign. Refuse to sign up, harass the perpetrators at every public event, encourage state legislatures to opt out, keep the heat on continuously until it is repealed.

Failing that, it will be time to revisit the Declaration of Independence, which offers a clear remedy:

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

The Weekly Standard has a must read on this insanity:

A stranger moment in politics has seldom been seen. A vast expansion of government that affects every one of the country’s 300-plus million inhabitants may be passed by a hair against fierce and fiercely repeated public opposition by a Congress that no longer speaks for its voters—most of whose members are angry and scared. They are afraid of their voters, and mad at each other

Tiger Woods is Back — Announces Plans to Play in Masters Tournament

Tiger Woods: Biggest Anticipated Comeback of All Time?

I don’t care about Tiger Woods playing his 3 wood on strange fairways. Or how skanky those strange fairways were, especially in light of how extraordinarily awesome his home course is.

What I do care about is watching Tiger Woods smack that little golf ball around the course (if he can make Phil Mickelson cry while doing so, all the better).

With his announcement that he’ll make his “comeback” at the Masters makes me giggle like a little girl. The only thing better than watching Tiger play golf, is watching Tiger play the majors. His first ever major win was the Masters — I wouldn’t be surprised if his next win was also the Masters. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the ratings for Tiger’s return to the links is one of the highest ever for any sporting event, and easily the highest for any golf tournament.

I’m a big fan of golf — love to play the game and love to watch it. But I haven’t watched more than a few hours of golf since Tiger Woods last played. Tournaments where Tiger does play? I usually DVR the Thursday and Friday matches to watch when I get home from work, and spend all day Saturday and Sunday watching live coverage.

Which is what I’ll be doing during this year’s Masters tournament. I’m curious to see what sponsor logo will be on his bag during the tournament after a lot of his sponsors dumped him. His bag will be on television more than Nancy Grace after another young blond goes missing — which is a fantastic opportunity for a new sponsor to step up.

Hell, I’ll bet Tiger’s wife Elin Nordegren is on TV during cutaways during the Masters more than any other golfer not named Tiger.

What Tiger does on the golf course is amazing, and I love to watch him play the game. I don’t care what he does in his private life — especially when what he is doing is 1) not illegal, and 2) is none of my damned business. I don’t look up to Tiger as a role model — I have enough real heroes that fill that role.

Erin Andrews’ Stalker Sentenced (Lightly) to 27-Months in Prison

Erin Andrews of ESPN

Michael David Barrett, who pleaded guilty to talking ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, was sentenced yesterday to a 27-month prison sentence.

Barrett, an Illinois insurance executive, followed Andrews to at least three cities and took explicit and nude videos of her through hotel peepholes.

Andrews urged the judge at the hearing for a harsher sentence and said she fears for her life every time she enters a hotel.

“You violated me and you violated all women,” Andrews told Barrett. “You are a sexual predator, a sexual deviant and they should lock you up.”

After the sentencing, she said, “Thirty months isn’t enough.”

Frankly, I couldn’t agree more.

This is as egregious an example of stalking a woman as there is, short of abducting or murdering the victim, and Barrett should have been given a much harsher sentence. If I were the judge and could hand down any sentence, it would be closer to 10-15 years.

U.S. District Judge Manuel Real said he gave Barrett the maximum sentence under the law. Which seems like a law that needs to be changed.

NY Times Puts Obama on a Cross

Not content with just putting halos around Obama’s head when creating images of our “iconic” Leader — now the NY Times is putting him upon on a Cross, too. Just in case the halo imagery was getting lost on some naive souls out there:

What is the NY Times trying to tell us with this image?

Broken Country (one of my favorite new daily reads) remarks:

What is the image above attempting to imply? That somehow Obama is on a mission from God? That Obama is somehow like Jesus Christ? Perhaps its is supposed to mean that the White House is now holy ground because Obama is president. We don’t get it.

I think it’s a carefully designed and planned image that:

• Obama the man is bigger than the White House and the Office of the Presidency
• He is the one (or The Won).

I don’t see this cross as being a religious symbol in this image, though, as it more clearly resembles the red cross worn by medics and medical personnel. I think this is to illustrate that it is through Obama and the White House that true, illuminating medical care emanates.

Regardless, the media’s incestuous love affair with Obama is sickening and maddening.

Donna Simpson: The Worlds Biggest (Literally) Idiot

Donna Simpson at half of her goal weight

There are just so many things wrong with this story about a New Jersey woman and her quest to become the world’s fattest woman.

Donna Simpson weighs 273kg but told the Daily Mail newspaper she had her heart set on reaching her goal weight of 1000lb (450kg) in two years.

The 42-year-old already holds the title of the world’s fattest mother after giving birth to her daughter in 2007 when she weighed 241kg.

“I’d love to be 1000lb … it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down,” Ms Simpson told the Daily Mail.

Ms Simpson, who needs a mobility scooter to go shopping, eats huge amounts of junk food each week and tries to move as little as possible so she doesn’t burn off as many calories.

“I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favourite,” she said.

Ms Simpson said she also loved eating sushi and would often eat 70 big pieces in one go.

Her 49-year-old partner Philippe — who she met on a dating site for plus-size people — was encouraging her to reach her goal, she said.

“I think he’d like it if I was bigger … he’s a real belly man and completely supports me,” she said.

To put on enough weight, Ms Simpson will need to eat 12,000 calories a day, which is six times the recommended daily intake for women.

In order to pay for the enormous amounts of food she is eating — her weekly grocery bill is $815 — Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.

This woman’s entire life seems to be one bad decision after another.

From being a 531 lb, 40-year old woman giving birth (for medical reasons) to intentionally trying to shorten her lifespan by eating herself to death — seemingly for the love and acceptance of a low-life man with a fat fetish who is probably behind her decision to get even bigger.

I don’t know what I find most disturbing — her self-loathing or the men who will pay to watch her eat fast food.

A Bad Week for Bill White

Tough week last week for former Houston Mayor and Democrat footnote to Rick Perry’s next state-wide electoral victory in Texas, Bill White:

Won’t release his income tax returns, as Gov. Perry has done. Just more of that “transparency” Democrats are famous for…

And if you know nothing else, know this — Bill White absolutely plans on raising your taxes if he is elected Governor (thankfully, he won’t be.)

Obama’s Hispanic and Black Caucus Problem

When you pander to special interest identity groups, you have to either pay up for their support (as Obama has so graciously done with unions/teachers), or risk their wrath.

Which is where Obama finds himself today.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Turns on Obama

After promising the moon to Hispanic voters regarding immigration reform and delivering nada, Obama finds his health care reform beign held up by the Hispanic Caucus because it doesn’t give Federally funded universally free health care to illegal immigrants.

Jesus H. Christ on a Popsicle — why don’t we just give them subsidized housing, free educations in our public schools, and in-state tuition at our best universities while we’re at it. What? Wait…you mean they already get those things here in the US of A?

WTF?

Congressional Black Caucus Turns on Obama

After promising even more entitlement programs and a “bigger piece of the pie” (which can only be done by taking away some pie from somebody else who has earned their piece of the pie) to African Americans who voted for Obama along strictly racial lines — and finding themselves in the same place (taken for granted) that they find themselves with all Democrat politicians — Obama is now facing opposition from the Congressional Black Caucus.

The problem with lying to everybody in order to get elected, is that eventually some of them are going to wise up to your shell-game and start to call you on it. They’re going to demand their ounce of gold that you promised them during your campaign. And when you can’t (or won’t) pay up, they’ll turn sour on you faster than a $5.99 Indian lunch buffet.

Congressional White Caucus

So far, the Congressional White Caucus has been suspiciously quiet on their support of Obama out of fear of being branded “racists” for opposing anything President Obama says or does.

Harry Reid Making More Promises He Won’t Be Able to Keep

The Huffing & Puffing-ton Post asks, “What’s your reaction?” to the following:

WHAT’S YOUR REACTION? — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pledged on Wednesday to take a serious look at revising the filibuster rules at the beginning of the next Congress, calling the current level of obstruction in the Senate unacceptable.

My reaction?

Harry Reid will no longer be the Senate Marority Leader because 1) he is going to lose his re-election bid by a landslide, and 2) the Dems will no longer be the majority party in the House when the next Congress is convened.

In which case, the Dems will be thankful to have the filibuster at their disposal to fight the evil Majority GOP.

The best comment form the loonies at H&P:

Next Congress?

Harry, next Congress will see you dealing blackjack and selling corn dogs at Big Jake’s Casino

Man Stabbed in Neck at Movie Theater with a Meat Thermometer

I knew before I got to the end of this article that the thug assailants were going to belong to a certain ethnic group — one with, shall we say, a reputation for bad and rude behavior in the movie theater:

A woman talking on a cell phone during a movie didn’t take to [sic] kindly to being ’shushed’ by another moviegoer. Or at least her boyfriend didn’t.

In a drama that turned more lively than the one on screen, the boyfriend allegedly attacked and stabbed the ’shusher’ in the neck.

With a meat thermometer.

That’ll teach that man to disrespect this gangster’s bitch/baby mama in a movie theater by shushing at her. The nerve of some people…

The stabbing victim is expected to survive and is recovering at a local hospital. Two others who tried to help the victim were also injured, according to KTLA.

According to Sheriff’s officials, the suspects were described as black males. One man was wearing an orange hat with an orange jersey and the other man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt.

There was no word on why the man had a meat thermometer in a movie theater.

I wouldn’t be surprised if on their way out of the theater the thugs demanded a refund from the theater manager…

119 Words You Must NEVER Use on WGN-AM (720)

Tribune Company CEO Randy Michaels has issued a bizarre edict to his company’s reporters, prohibiting them from using certain phrases and words on the air:

Michaels took time out of his real job this week to issue a list of words and phrases — 119 of them, to be exact — that must never, ever be uttered by anchors or reporters on WGN-AM (720), the news/talk radio station located five floors below his office in Tribune Tower.

Amongst the words whose name they dare not speak:

• Authorities
• Bare naked
• Behind bars
• Behind closed doors
• Clash with police
• Close proximity
• Killing spree
• Manhunt
• Mute point. (It’s moot point, but don’t say that either)
• Shower activity
• Sketchy details

No using bare naked, close proximity, manhunt, or shower activity? I guess WGN reporters won’t be reporting on the Rahm Emanuel vs. Rep. Eric Massa MSNBC’s Lock Up moment in the Congressional Locker Room…

Cop-Killer Joshua Maxwell’s Date with a Gurney

Raise your hands if your guility of murdering innocent people...

UPDATE: He’s dead.

Powerful words from the family of one of Maxwell’s victims:

After Maxwell was pronounced dead, Shirley Bott, whose son was the first murder victim, turned to a state official accompanying her and showed a heart-shaped locket she wore on a chain around her neck.

“I have my son’s ashes in here,” she said. “I wanted him to be here.”

_________________

10-years ago, Joshua Maxwell and his stripper girlfriend Tessie McFarland went on a cross-country, Natural Born Killers -style crime spree, which included murdering 40-year old Rudy Lopes, a sergeant with the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department, and ended with their apprehension after a running gun battle and high speed chase with police in downtown San Francisco, California.

On Thursday, March 11, shortly after 6:00 p.m. Huntsville, Texas Time (HTT), Joshua Maxwell (described by the loonies at Prisontalk as “he looks just like someone’s little boy”) will pay for his crimes with his own life.

Unfortunately, McFarland, 30, plead guilty and received a life sentence  for her part in the Capital Murder of Lopes. Unfortunate, because she should have received death for her part in the crimes.

How the hell does a dude on Death Row have a MySpace page? Doesn’t he know that MySpace is so 2005 — he should seriously consider upgrading to Facebook…oh…wait…never mind.

Murder in Indiana

Over the course of three days in September of 2000, Maxwell and McFarland abducted Robby Bott, burglarized his Indiana home, and then shot him in the face and strangled him until he was dead. They then put him in the trunk of his own car and set it on fire.

Maxwell and McFarland then fled to California. After their arrest in California, Maxwell confessed to murdering Bott. Twice.

__________

Next on the list is Hank Skinner, who will die on March 24th. Hank is a precious rockstar amongst the anti-nutjobs at Prisontalk, where he has quite a few women pining for him. The crocodile tears will be flowing like a broken pipe around there this month.

We Simply Have Too Much Government Intrusion at All Levels of our Life Now

The Problem

Too much government intruding in our lives, on our bodies, in our homes, and in our pursuit of liberty and happiness:

The notion of private property ownership is a myth in our society:

In October, the city’s 311 nonemergency number started getting a flood of calls complaining about homes in South Austin’s Fairview neighborhood. Over several days, the anonymous caller or callers gave the city 35 different tips about houses with possible code violations. After city inspectors followed up, they issued violation notices to 76 homeowners in the neighborhood, telling them they must apply for permits for improvements such as garage conversions and carports.

Those who fail to correct the problem could be criminally charged and fined up to $2,000 per day or have their utilities disconnected, according to recent letters sent to homeowners that gave them a March 26 deadline to comply.

The homeowners say they’re upset by the violation letters and want more time to figure out how to negotiate the city bureaucracy to get into compliance.

“I’m worried about the fines,” said John Anguiano, 77, who lives on Heartwood Drive, and got a violation notice for a garage conversion he did about 1975. “I’m old, retired and sick, and it’s a pain to deal with this.”

First of all — to the anonymous caller(s) who called to rat out their neighbors: I hope your home burns to the ground while you’re away protesting at what ever movement an uptight asswipe like you is out protesting today.

Secondly — are you freak’n kidding me? Why do we let our government get away with robbing us like this? From the smallest HOAs to City Councils, from state legislatures to the Federal government — WHY DO WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS?

The Answer:

Vote them all out, and demand smaller and less government from those with whom we replace them.
