Breakfast Scramble (Sunday)

More John Holdren’ Climate Bill, from James Delingpole, Telegraph(UK):

President Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren is worried about global warming. Having noticed that there hasn’t actually been any global warming since 1998, he feels it ought to be called “global climate disruption” instead. That way whether it gets warmer or colder, wetter or drier, less climatically eventful or more climatically eventful, the result will be the same: it can all be put down to “global climate disruption.”

Holdren essentially predicts everything, and will claim anything as vindication for his crack pot theories and as justification for his hair brained ideas.

More Obama administration double speak, from, John Gerstien, Politico:

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on Friday warned against militarizing the U.S.-Mexico border and insisted that, despite a public outcry over illegal immigration and violence in the area, security along the nearly 2000-mile-long dividing line with Mexico is actually improving.

“This is a civilian border,” Napolitano said during a lunch Friday with reporters in Washington, responding to a question about sending more U.S. National Guard troops to beef up border security.

Eric Holder’s Justice Department has sued the State of Arizona to prevent civilian law enforcement of border security.   Now DHS’s Janet Napolitano declares border security a civilian problem.   Is this Obama administration incompetence or a cruel joke?

More from Nice Deb:

That, no doubt, comes as a surprise to Pinal County sheriff, Paul Babeu who deals with the situation down there every day, and has been begging for federal help. Now they’re discovering caves used by drug cartels – one of which is less than a mile away from homes. Babeu says people in Pinal county no longer feel safe in their homes:

White House science adviser John Holdren is really dumb, from Fox News:

The White House wants the public to start using the term “global climate disruption” in place of “global warming” — fearing the latter term oversimplifies the problem and makes it sound less dangerous than it really is.

More from Nice Deb:

Granted, people were already using “climate change” to describe changes in the earth’s climate, (otherwise known as weather). But that wasn’t scary-sounding enough, I guess. “Change” is generally thought of in neutral to positive terms. Sometimes the climate changes, and we say, “Good, it’s been too cold lately, I’m glad it’s warming up.” “Disruption”, however, sounds rude and undesirable. Who wants a weather disruption – like a hurricane, or hail storm? Nobody.

My favorite unattributed Ronald Reagan quote is:  “The nice thing about having Alzheimer is that you get to meet new friends everyday.”   For Holdren an apt quote might be:  “The nice thing about being bone dumb ignorant is discovering new facts everyday.”   If Holdren fell out of boat, he would think he had discovered water.

Christine O’Donnell trails her ooponent, Chris Coons, by but eleven points, a poll taken before Dirty Harry Reid called Coons his pet.    With a massive anti-incubant surge,  Reid has just labled Coons a lapdog of the Obana/Pelosi/Reid crime family.   Given Reid’s endorsement of Coons, this a a race that O’Donnell can win.

Census Bureau lies, by Carol Morello.Washington Post:

One in seven Americans is living in poverty, the highest number in the half-century that the government has kept such statistics, the Census Bureau announced Thursday.

There is no way to determine the number of American living in poverty, rather than say Trenton.  The Census Bureau simply dose not measure poverty:

Following the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Statistical Policy Directive 14, the Census Bureau uses a set of money income thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty.  If a family’s total income is less than the family’s threshold, then that family and every individual in it is considered in poverty.  The official poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but they are updated annually for inflation with the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U).  The official poverty definition uses money income before taxes and does not include capital gains or noncash benefits (such as public housing, Medicaid, and food stamps).

Poverty is lack of access to the essential commodities of life, food, shelter, bodily warmth, health care.   What the Census Bureau measure, and purports to call poverty is lack of access to cash.    The Census Bureau does not track commodies provided in kind such as food stamps and rent vouchers.    The Census Bureau does not rrack poverty and as far as I know, the federal  government never did.

Disarmament is fool’s gold, Thomas Sowell, RCP:

But the only country we can disarm is our own. The only countries we might be able to persuade to disarm are countries that intend no harm in the first place. Those countries that do intend to harm others– and we know all too well that they exist– would be delighted to have all their victims disarmed.

Just think, if Barry had been president instead of Harry, the Iron Curtain might well extend to the English Channel.

Liberal reads Constitution, can’t find First Amendment, from Lucy Madison, CBS News:

During an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America this morning, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer addressed the recent controversy over a Florida Pastor’s plan to hold a Quran-burning rally on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, saying he wasn’t convinced the First Amendment would protect such an action if the case were brought to the court in the future.

“Holmes said it doesn’t mean you can shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater,” Breyer told George Stephanopoulos during the GMA interview, referring to Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., who wrote the opinion in a 1919 Supreme Court decision that addressed Freedom of Speech. “Well, what is it? Why?  Because people will be trampled to death. And what is the crowded theater today?  What is the being trampled to death?”

Does Justice Stephen Breyer want us to believe that the Right of Free Speech is conditioned on the offended parties ability to restrain from violence.   That is to say Piss Cbriss are constitutionally protected because Christian aren’t prone to violence, whereas burning the Koran is not constitutionally because because Moslems are easy to provoke.

Yet how does Breyer square idea that the propensity can trump the Constitution with his support for Roe v. Wade which leads to the violent slaughter of circa one million Americans a year.    Does Breyer mean to suggest that more Eric Rudolph’s would lead to the reversal of Roe?   I think not, and think Breyer not think much.   Do you?

Dumb blond sports reporter goes into men’s locker room and gets offended. Recently sports reporter chick, Ines Sainz, went into the New York Jet’s, a male professional football team, and got offended because the males acted like well men, from Deborah Hastings, AOL News:

Yes, she wears low-cut shirts, tight jeans and has photos on her employer’s website showing her in a bikini. But that has nothing to do with being a professional sports reporter for Mexico’s TV Azteca, she said today.

“It’s my style,” the 32-year-old television journalist told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” She’s not trying to elicit leers, she said. “It is my style for all my life.””I’m not trying to provoke anything,” she told Meredith Vieira on NBC’s “Today” show this morning. “I don’t think I need to change.  They are going to change.”

It is certainly Sainz’s right to dress like a slut.  Free world.   However semi-nude males also have the right to react to Sainz as if she were a slut when she willingly walks into a male locker room.    Sainz has the right to her style.   Fifty-three male football player have the right to act like men around semi-nude women.  It is their style.  Fair is fair.

Mona Charen,  National Review, note Dim Won’s, b/k/a Barack Obama delusion of competence:

The president himself doesn’t at all concede that government is attempting to do too much (and failing at most of it). On the contrary, his vanity (and it is a common one for left-wingers) is that he believes his particular ideas on business investment, medical procedures, housing, and thousands of other matters are the solutions to our woes, but “politics” keeps getting in the way

It is easy to delude a dim brain my merely telling them that showing up (on occasion) is good  enough.  Being  President is hard work and Obama disdains work.

Besmirching black females, by Matt Cover:

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex.

Note the National Institute of Mental Health wants black men to wash their thingies after sex, not before.     Evidently to the NIMH women are dirty.    Note that washing their equipment after sex will do nothing to prevent the spread of the HIV to the previous woman partner.   Just wait until  Mrs. Obama hears about this.

Hat tip:   Rick, Wizbang.

Commentary from a fifty-three percenter, LauraW. Ace of Spades:

Just from a female perspective; how about having them wash before sex, too? What could it hurt, right?

It takes a women with balls spunk to hang with the morons.

Besmirching the dead, what is known is that Billy Lucas is dead.   What follows from a blog called “Joe My God“, is idle speculation:

Another dead victim of anti-gay bullying, this time in Indiana.  He was a teenager who didn’t quite fit in. His classmates said Billy Lucas was bullied for being different. The 15-year-old never told anyone he was gay but students at Greensburg High School thought he was and so they picked on him. “People would call him ‘fag’ and stuff like that, just make fun of him because he’s different basically,”

The linked article, here, does not establish that the late Mr. Lucas was homosexual,   even bullied or even committed suicide, although it seems a probable cause of death.

Teen suicide is a problem.   However the mere fact of Mr. Lucas’ death is no reason to draft his corpse into the cause of advancing the homosexual political agenda, which no evidence was presented that the late Mr. Lucas even supported.    If Joe wants to advance his political agenda, let him recruit some real, not imagined, living, and not dead, homosexuals to his cause.   Good luck.

Obama administration clueless on jobs, from Fox News Sunday interview by Chris Wallace of Bbama brand spanking new economic advisor Austan Goolsbee, Fox News:

GOOLSBEE: But I don’t think the unemployment rate will be coming down significantly anytime in the near future.

WALLACE: Do you think it will — you’ll be — it’s now 9.6 percent. End of this year?

GOOLSBEE: I don’t — look, I try to stay out of the specific forecasting games other than our official forecast. I think it’s clear that the labor market is significantly weakened, has been for some time. We have to do everything we can to try to create jobs and get people back to work.

WALLACE: Could it be 10 percent by the end of the year?

GOOLSBEE: Look, as I say, I’m not going to speculate. We have official forecasts and we’ll release them when they come out.

WALLACE: But you don’t expect…

GOOLSBEE: We need to do everything…

WALLACE: … it to go down appreciably from…

GOOLSBEE: I don’t expect it to go down appreciably. That’s what — our forecast, and most of the private forecasts say the same thing.

With the official unemployment rating pushing ten percent, the Obama administration has no plan on bring it down, and apparently no sense of urgency.

Banned books, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1852 maybe the mosst important book ever written in American history.    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, 1884 is considered the greatest American novel.    Yet Tom and Huck, joins forty–eight other commonly banned books.   From AARP.

To ban books is to imperil our ability to understand the human condition.

‘Rats do death panels, via Clarice Feldman, American Thinker:

As Democrats brace for a November wave that threatens their control of the House, party leaders are preparing a brutal triage of their own members in hopes of saving enough seats to keep a slim grip on the majority.
In the next two weeks, Democratic leaders will review new polls and other data that show whether vulnerable incumbents have a path to victory. If not, the party is poised to redirect money to concentrate on trying to protect up to two dozen lawmakers who appear to be in the strongest position to fend off their challengers.

Speaker Table Cloth flies to Canada  to wage  war on oil,  Calgary Herald:

With both sides declaring victory in their meetings with U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and with the most powerful woman in America not commenting, we can only hope that the U.S. Democrats who came to Ottawa this week will adopt a sensible middle ground on the oilsands debate.

Representatives of environmental organizations who emerged from a meeting with Pelosi Thursday say she spoke eloquently on the “moral imperative” to move to a green energy future for the sake of future generations. Here, we agree. It would be morally bereft of us not to do so. How we get there is quite another matter

I’d have given Mrs. Pelosi a pass, if she just pedaled to Canada.

Well, now we have an idea why the Democrats refuse to take seriously the tax evasion charges against their own…  Remember when Timothy Geithner… the guy supposedly handing out budgets, turned out to have not payed his taxes in years? The left leapt to his defense. Now we know why. Seems he’s far from alone.
The LA Times is reporting:

Now, back taxes have been a problem for the Obama-Biden administration. You may recall early on that Tom Daschle was the president’s top pick to run the Health and Human Services Department. But it turned out the former Democratic senator, who was un-elected from South Dakota in 2004, owed something like $120,000 to the IRS for things from his subsequent benefactor that he just forgot to pay taxes on. You know how that is. $120G’s here or there. So he dropped out.

And then we learned this guy Timothy Geithner owed something like $42,000 in back taxes and penalties to the IRS, which is one of the agencies that he’d be in charge of as secretary of the Treasury. The fine fellow who’s supposed to know about handling everyone else’s money. In the end this was excused by Washington’s bipartisan CYA culture as one of those inadvertent accidental oversights that somehow never seem to happen on the side of paying too much taxes.

And under Geithner’s expert guidance the U.S. economy has been, well, wow! Just look at it.

Privacy laws prevent release of individual tax delinquents’ names. But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama’s very own White House owe the government they’re allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes. That would cover a lot of special chocolate desserts in the White House Mess.

In the House of Representatives, 421 people owe a total $6,524,892.  In the Senate, 217 owe $2,774,836. In the IRS’ parent department, Treasury, 1,204 owe $7,670,814. At the Labor Department, where Secretary Hilda Solis’ husband had some back-tax problems before her confirmation, 463 owe $7,481,463. Eighty-one workers for the Federal Reserve System’s board of governors owe $1,076,733.

Over at the Justice Department, which is so busy enforcing other laws and suing Arizona, 1,971 employees still owe $14,350,152 in overdue taxes.

Then, we come to the Department of Homeland Security, which is run by Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona who preferred to call terrorist acts “man-caused disasters.” Homeland Security is keeping all of us safe by ensuring that a Dutch tourist is aboard every inbound international flight to thwart any would-be bomber with explosives in his underpants.

Within that department, there reside 4,856 people who owe the tax agency a whopping total of $37,012,174.

And they’re checking our pockets for metal and coins?

Really. Then again, we aren’t liberal royalty and thereby do not count.

Does the phrase “let them eat cake’ ring any bells?

Fluck tolerance, as usual Dim Won, b/k/a Barack Obama, is full of a brown smelly liquid, best used for fertilizer, from Erica Werner, Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama appealed to an unsettled nation Saturday to honor the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks by hewing to the values of diversity and tolerance. “We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust,” the president declared.

It is not my value to tolerate those who will not tolerate me.   I s it your value?   Unlike Dim Won, I bow to no man.    Maybe Obama is not offended by the acts perpetrated on Nine Eleven.   I am.  Three thousand of my countrymen died that day. Has Obama forgot, or just does not care?

Nine Years Ago Today

September, 11, 2010 — Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere

Nine years ago today, Americans were forced into the conversion of an act of travel into acts of mass murder, by followers of a religion that claims to be peaceful, yet collects a trail of the bodies of those killed in its name wherever these followers happen to go.  And on that day, the rest of us were assaulted with visions of incomprehensible evil on our television screens, the sounds of terror and chaos on the radio, and tales of desperation, fear, and ultimately death, in our print media.  On that day, everything stopped.  And everything changed.

Flangus, Dangus, I are a hero.  Dim Won b/k/a Barack Obama has declared September Eleventh has a day of service, from via Left Coast Rebel:

That is why we mark September 11th as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. For if there is a lesson to be drawn on this anniversary, it is this: we are one nation – one people – bound not only by grief, but by a set of common ideals. And that by giving back to our communities, by serving people in need, we reaffirm our ideals – in defiance of those who would do us grave harm. We prove that the sense of responsibility that we felt for one another was not a fleeting passion – but a lasting virtue.

Green energy is for the peons.    White House too good to go green, from New York Times:

Bill McKibben, an environmental campaigner from Vermont with a flair for showmanship, was rebuffed Friday morning in his effort to get the White House to reinstall one of the solar panels that President Jimmy Carter had placed on the White House roof.

Note the Obama administration’s agenda is imposing so-called green energy on to the public, not going green themselves.

Are we a still a Christian nation? From Gallop:

PRINCETON, NJ — A majority of Americans favor letting the tax cuts enacted during the Bush administration expire for the wealthy. While 37% support keeping the tax cuts for all Americans, 44% want them extended only for those making less than $250,000 and 15% think they should expire for all taxpayers.

These results are based on an Aug. 27-30 USA Today/Gallup poll. The fate of the 2001 and 2003 federal income tax cuts that were a centerpiece of Bush administration policy could be a significant campaign issue this fall. The tax cuts are set to expire after this year unless Congress votes to extend them. Congress plans to take up the issue next week when it returns to session

Maybe Dim Won, b/k/a Barack Obama is right.  We no longer a Christian nation.  How else can you explain the utter greed, taxes for thee but not for me., from Wikipedia:

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor

I won’t try to speak for the guy in Florida arranging for the very public burning of the Koran.

Nor, by the same token, will I attempt to speak for the  foreign-funded groups attempting to put a Mosque at or near Ground Zero.

Nor, in fact will I try to defend either. They stand or fail on their own merits. But I think we need to examine the public reaction of the various groups, here to get a handle on the import of these events.

Is there any constitutional reason for there not to be a Mosque at Ground Zero?

Of course not.

Any more than there’s a constitutional reason we shouldn’t be burning a Koran.

Both acts are insensitive in the extreme, however, and there’s the rub, I think.  But is insensitivity criminal? Not particularly.

But now, think: Would burning, say, a Bible, be causing nearly the ruckus that the burning of the Koran is today?  I daresay it wouldn’t even be a blip on the news/pundit  radar . Since when is the left at all interested in the sensitivities of Religious Americans? They as a rule tend to eschew such.

So, there’s another factor involved here that nobody’s talked much about. And that is that we are seeing the left in this country building up a favored group. At issue, you see, in both cases,.. the Koran Burning, and the Ground Zero Mosue, is the involvement of the favored group, whose sensitivities and cultural trends apparently far outweigh those of Americans of the Judeo-Christian ethos.

I suggest that when we promote everyone else’s culture at the expense of our own, we will eventually have no culture of our own. That would seem to fit right in with the left’s dislike of traditional American culture.

In the end what we have here is the left, as usual, embracing everything that is not Traditionally American…. and working towards it’s destruction. Does anyone really think the Ground Zero Mosque is being built as a gesture of healing? zOr is it rather a thumb in the eye of Traditional Americanism?

Shut the F*ck Up Mr. President, Dumbo ia/k/a Dim Won, b/k/a Barack Obama weighs in the Reverend Terry Jones’ plan to burn a copy of the Koran, from George Stephanopoulos, ABC News:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask you about Pastor Terry Jones. He gave a press conference today. Says he’s going to go through with burning the Korans. Is there anything you can say to him to convince him not to?

OBAMA: If he’s listening, I just hope he understands that what he’s proposing to do is completely contrary to our values of Americans. That this country has been built on the notions of religious freedom and religious tolerance. And as a very practical matter, as commander of chief of the Armed Forces of the United States I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women in uniform who are in Iraq, who are in Afghanistan. We’re already seeing protests against Americans just by the mere threat

No person who attended Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church for twenty years has any moral standing to criticize bow particular preacher wants to conduct the business of his particular church.   I realize that the Constitution of the United States is not exactly Dim Won’s strong suit, but the  job of the President of the United States is to protect the Constitution and not offer his two cent s about church services.

Fidel Castro throws Cuba under the bus, from Associated Press, via Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:

Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.

The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel’s brother Raul, the country’s president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba’s 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows

OFA is MIA (Organizing for America is Missing in Action), from Time:

What happened to Barack Obama’s once vaunted political machine? The outfit that put upwards of 8 million volunteers on the street in 2008 — known as Organizing for America — is a ghost of its former self. Its staff has shrunk from 6,000 to 300, and its donors are depressed: receipts are a fraction of what they were in 2008. Virtually no one in politics believes it will turn many contests this fall. “There’s no chance that OFA is going to have the slightest impact on the midterms,” says Charlie Cook, who tracks congressional races.

Organizing for America is ghost of its former self, much like Obama’s many campaign promises.   Captain Ed Morrissey, Hot Air:

Neglect is part of it, but not a complete explanation.  The driving force behind OFA and Obama’s campaign has been the Left, and they’re no longer enthused or engaged.  Obama promised them an end to the Iraq War and Guantanamo Bay’s terrorist detention center, and instead Obama gave them Bush’s SOFA withdrawal plan and an absolute punt on Gitmo.  The Left thought they would get the public option in ObamaCare, the stalking horse for a nationalized, single-payer health care system, but instead got a watered-down version of their dream.

Ruth Marcus, Washington Post, is puzzled:

It was a jarring moment from an ordinarily smooth pol. Haley Barbour, governor of Mississippi, chairman of the Republican Governors Association and 2012 presidential prospect — which helped explain the big turnout a breakfast Wednesday sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor — was asked why so many people seem to believe that President Obama is Muslim.

“I don’t know why people think what they think,” Barbour said. Fair enough. But then out came this odd statement: “This is a president that we know less about than any other president in history.”

Really?

Ms Marcus meet Victor Davis Hanson who excoriates Obama, from Pajamas Media:

For some reason, Obama believed that those who expected after his campaign promises a real upturn in the economy, or fiscal responsibility, or inspired foreign policy would be satisfied, as they had in the past, merely with soaring rhetoric and superficial reassurance. When they were not, and voiced such displeasure, as ingrates they had supposedly reduced Obama to canine-like status.

[…]

Given all that, it is understandable both why America is very worried about what it has wrought — and why Barack Obama is miffed and lashes out.

You would too if both accountability and criticism were novel experiences at 49.

Ms Marcus is naive.  VDH is brutal It is hard to settle on an excerpt.  For some reason Dumbo, a/k/a Dim Won, b/k/a Barack Obama believed he could bluff his way through the presidency by playing golf and giving stump speeches.  Welcome to the real world Mr. President.

Mr. Attorney General – STFU, from Associated Press:

Meeting Tuesday with religious leaders to discuss recent attacks on Muslims and mosques around the U.S., Attorney General Eric Holder called the planned burning both idiotic and dangerous, according to a Justice Department official. The official requested anonymity because the meeting was private

The job of the attorney general is to protect constitutional rights, not attempt to regulate them.

William A. Jacobson, Legal Insurrection, writes:

Obama’s [read Dumbo’s] obsession with playing class warfare politics is his undoing, not because it necessarily loses him support in isolation, but because it makes him seem petty and vindictive, and damages the economy.

Professor, Dumbo just doesn’t  seem petty and vindictive,  he is petty and vindictive.   Among Dumbo’s first acts as president was  to return the bust of Winston Churchill to the British because some slight to his grandfather.

Dumbo’s Dim Idea, last incandescent light bulb goes dark, from Washington Post, via Jim Hoft,  Gateway Pundit:

The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison’s innovations in the 1870s.

The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs.

“Now what’re we going to do?” said Toby Savolainen, 49, who like many others worked for decades at the factory, making bulbs now deemed wasteful.

Two hundred American jobs sacrificed to bolster China’s economy.   Who among us would call this progress?  Certainly not I.

Is there nobody telling this guy how far offbase he is?

Apparently not…

Look, I knew the guy was senile when he endorsed Obama in the first place.
