And the beat goes on … [Darleen Click]
Eric Holder’s promises are as credible as Obama’s. The First Amendment ain’t for you non-leftists. Has Obama simulated you yet? Pelosi blames insurance companies as responsible for the so-called “healthcare crisis” but the real EEEVVVILLLLLEEE!!!1!!! is doctors themselves … and, oh, liberty, too. 50 Comments ::: Post a comment »RSS feed for comments on this post.

Wow, on first glace, I would have to say Eric Holder’s actions are stupid…and I do not even personally know the people involved.
Perhaps another Thursday night beer event is in order?

Darleen, first and second link both go to the same article.

And while I understand studios have to finance vanity projects vain stars who they want to sign for other moneymaking projects, you would think they would learn their lesson that these anti Iraq war projects are doomed to failure.
However, a fair portrayal might actually makes a few bucks. The Hurt Locker has not broken even yet, but it has made more than $4 million on film festival releases mostly and may actually start bringing in some bucks on wider release. Plus that movie will undoubtably do well on DVD sales and rentals later on.

Pelosi calls insurance companies “villians”, but she is keeping their campaign contributions to her.

FTA: But these instances are tame compared with the Justice Department’s controversial and still unexplained decision to dismiss a default judgment obtained in a case of egregious voter intimidation. On Election Day 2008, members of the New Black Panther organization, dubbed by the Justice Department a “black-super-racist organization” were captured on videotape at a Philadelphia polling place. One wielded a nightstick. All wore the uniform and insignia of the organization. They made racial threats and hurled insults at voters. After the video made its way around the Internet, the voting rights section of the Justice Department’s civil rights division investigated. Additional evidence showed that the New Black Panthers had in Internet postings called for “300 members to be deployed” at the polls on Election Day.

So let me get this straight. My colleagues and I risk our lives to support and defend the constitution while the Justice department turns its back on clear evidence of voter intimidation.
Why is no one in the press asking about this?
Why isn’t Congress in an uproar like they were over Atty Gen Gonzales firing nine lawyers?
When I deployed I was hopefull that the President would not visit because I did not want to risk the urge to confront him . Now I am leaning the other way because it seems that no one else has the BALLS to do the right thing.
Now I am off to workout at least I have a little extra motivation.

Doctor Zero names the Aggressor State. Money quotes:
“The Left is always looking for a new brand name, as each of their previous names becomes a dirty word. ”
“Because liberalism defines itself as transformative, it is very comfortable with aggression.”
“It’s no wonder the Obama Administration is so half-hearted and inept at foreign policy – it has little time to waste on foreign threats, because it sees too many enemies inside its own borders.”
“Who’s got time for oppressed Iranians when you need to defeat half of America to advance your agenda?”

Has Obama simulated you yet?
Well, a family member lost his job this week. That’s kinda stimulating.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/1 @ 2:33 pm #
I had another friend lose her job this week. It’s horrible. Barack Obama sucks balls I think. He should stop sucking balls. I bet he won’t though.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 2:41 pm #
My other BIL is returning from the Middle East, and he doesn’t know what he’s going to do. He was in the guard, so obviously he doesn’t have a job right now.
He MAY even move to Detroit so we can keep him up in our (empty) house which we can’t sell because not only Obama sucks balls, but Jenny and Kwame and the Detroit Government have been sucking those balls for a lot longer than ‘bama.

We should all move to Texas. Everybody.

They use this “trick” everywhere. Seem to believe a new label changes to underlying thing itself. Magical thinking is involved.

Texas is our only chance. course, small problem of my two houses which I can’t sell.

My grandpa’s wife daughter (got that) was over lasts night. She lives in LA. Anyway, we got into a rather heated (damn wine) discussion about Califorina. She got a tax bill for $7000 and was give a week to pay it or it would go up to $9000, then it would double. It was some new fee imposed by the county that they hadn’t heard of or whatever.
Anyway, so I got on a “what will people be willing to put up with” rant, and she said LA is the most perfect place on the planet and she’d do whatever, put up with whatever just to live there.
So, I’m thinking she deserves whatever happens.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/1 @ 2:57 pm #
She does her fellow citizens no favors with that attitude I don’t think. A friend of mine got hit with a sketchy dirty socialist retroactive tax here in Los Angeles and I paid it for his birthday since he had just started a new job and I spent three years intensively shopping out of state on business trips to make sure it wasn’t profitable for them. All my clothes and electronics and computer thingies and just whatever I could pack back … I’d keep a list of crap I needed that would fit in my luggage and then get it from some other state. I was smoking then so I mail-ordered a bunch of cigarettes form Ukraine too.
I can always be more petty than your average given socialist. It’s a gift.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/1 @ 2:59 pm #
Now it’s a habit by the way. When it comes to California, I’m definitely part of the problem. They’re such fags, the government people here.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 3:12 pm #
You’re part of the solution, Happy. I think California is lost. No saving. But, if more people didn’t put up with it…
No California is blessed with weather and Ocean and it’s cool to live there, so as soon as we come out of this recession, California should go on OK. But, I still say if California can’t succeed as a dirty socialist state, no one can.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 3:15 pm #
But, I did come away from my evening thinking that this chick is a bit of an … idiot, and I’m glad she lives in LA because too many dinners (with wine) and I’m bound to piss her off.
It’s bad enough I have to watch myself around my cousin in Florida. The one who voted for O! because of 1)Global warming and 2) the deficit.
I had to poke her the other day about the cold summer we’ve had.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 3:16 pm #
Oh, and she paid the tax right away.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 3:22 pm #
bored now.
sigh.

what tax was that?
I live in SoCal, but the Inland Empire, not El Lay.. which is a Proggie’s dream.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 8/1 @ 4:28 pm #
I miss Jeff. Have I mentioned that?
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 4:44 pm #
It was some sort of city-imposed tax. I don’t really know, but it seemed to be more like a dealo where you must register your business, and this was the fee. Or something.
Comment by Carin on 8/1 @ 4:46 pm #
I believe, Slart, that is the unstated sentiment of everyone.
Comment by Joe on 8/1 @ 5:00 pm #
California is a great place, but it is a shame it has been ruined.

Slart
here, here!
I love writing, but I’m not Jeff.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/1 @ 5:07 pm #
California is not a great place. It’s a dirty and expensive and crimey and socialistically oppressive place bent on driving business elsewhere. It’s a loser state for losers, really.
Comment by happyfeet on 8/1 @ 5:16 pm #
I miss Jeff too. It’s been forever now. FOREVER. How do you stomp your foot and pout on the internet? I need to learn that.

The Left Just can’t get enough of Palin. From “The Other McCain”
Comment by McGehee on 8/1 @ 5:23 pm #
That would make her your step-aunt.
Don’t laugh — I have two step-nieces and an ex-step-niece (my brother divorced the girl’s mother before marrying his current wife).
I also have a stepsister-in-law, thanks to my mother-in-law’s second husband having legally adopted my (then-future-) wife, and a half-brother-in-law (same bio father as my wife, but by one of his many subsequent wives).
Modern life.

Los Angeles is notorious for its “business” tax … the city can classify your business in one particular classification with a particular tax then come back a few years later (and your business model hasn’t changed), and reclassify you in a higher tax class then fine you for penalities and back taxes.
Los Angeles also bases its taxes on gross receipts on ANY business conducted in the city … including all home-based businesses including writers.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 8/1 @ 5:34 pm #
Oh, boy. Well, my stepbrother married his stepsister (who, by the way, is not my sister). That’s something.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 8/1 @ 5:35 pm #
NB: they actually introduced their resepctive parents to each other, so it wasn’t like they grew up together and got married.
Still, it sounds like a good story.

LMAO! I think the astroturfers are about to get burned on their own carpets. Palin’s response to bullshit rumors she is getting a divorce:
I think it is on.

That’s the only good thing about getting older, you really start not to care who you piss off. As a matter of fact I find annoying the overly smug very entertaining.
Comment by LTC John on 8/2 @ 7:50 am #
Since I work in insurance (when not in uniform) I was mulling over wearing a set of fangs and a black cape…but I don’t workin health insurance, so maybe Speaker Pelosi would think me only slightly immoral? Perhaps I should just cultivate an evil laugh.

Oh, fun. Another Kenyan birth certificate for Obama, this one with Alan Keyes behind it.
Comment by Bob Reed on 8/2 @ 3:02 pm #
I dunno Slart, this might actually be real…
I’m no birther, but if proven legitimate, and accepted by the court, then Obama may finally produce his Hawaiian long form BC and put the matter to rest…
Maybe next he’ll reveal the rest of his hidden paper, academic and prior legislative, trail like all of the other modern presidents generally have. Thta’s probably where any real value in this lays…
Comment by SBP on 8/2 @ 3:42 pm #
OT: Bob, have you seen this?
Comment by Bob Reed on 8/2 @ 4:59 pm #
SBP that is fascinating!
I know that there are a lot of private ventures vying to commercialize orbita operations and satellite launches. But I was unaware that anyone was offering launch bus services like that!
It looks fascinating, how they provide you a basic satellite platform that can be customized for mission-specific operations. And profitable too for them; not only do they sell the “kit” but get to guarantee the launce business. I looked at the site a bit and it seems that one can also invest in the launch bus system as well. It really looks like these guys have covered the bases, and stand to make a pile of dough from universities and private companies. By putting satellite capability into the cost range of these folks they stand to make a killing on the volume…
And it really is demonstrative of what many visionaries in the aerospace field have been saying for 20 years. The proponents of commercializing space have long contended that near Earth orbital system development will really begin to flourish once governments get out of the way and the private sector begins to seek the profits that are available; very much like the technological revolution that took place in aviation in the early part of the 20th century once it had effectively been privatized…
Very much like during the age of sea faring exploration by the west led the way for colonies in the new world in order to benefit old Europe, so too will the last 40 years of aerospace work come to be looked upon one day. A time when new and profitable vistas were opened up for the eventual and effective use of humans…
That’s a great link SBP, I appreciate you bringing it to my attention!
Comment by SBP on 8/2 @ 5:05 pm #
Yeah, it’s pretty cool! $8K isn’t chicken feed, but heck, a well-motivated high school class could probably fund-raise that much.
Comment by Bob Reed on 8/2 @ 5:14 pm #
That’s what I mean, and it’s the reason those guys will be rolling in the do-re-mi after proving their concepts with a couple of successful launches…
