Evidently, it’s a lot like a bad episode of “Miami Vice”. Only without the pastel t-shirts and five-o’clock shadows.
But don’t worry. Once we have those domestic EPA drones armed, the police state will run much more smoothly.
Forward!

if rick perry had some balls he’d be seizing some of the feds property in texas until this matter is resolved
add this too
Chris Crane, head of the ICE union, said his colleagues were instructed by the suits to release any illegal alien who just claims to qualify for the president’s DREAM decree. Crane said:
Prosecutorial discretion for Dreamers is solely based on the individual’s claims. Our orders are, if an alien says they went to high school [in the United States], then let them go. If they say they have a GED, then let them go. Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien to prove anything. Even with the greatly relaxed new policies, the alien is not even required to prove that they meet any of the new criteria. . . . At this point we don’t understand why DHS even has criteria at all, as there is no requirement or burden to prove anything on the part of the alien.

He’s too busy licking Dewhurst’s balls.
Oh! Dude just got Chick-filleted!
…Eh, sorry. It’s the Texas heat.
Why the fuck are seniors in Texas voting for fucking Dewhurst? Christ, this country is so fucked.
And why is the ertswhile, tongue-tied,preferred Presidential candidate of so many Big Name Conservative Blogs backing Dewhurst in the first place?
It’s almost as if those conservative blogs aren’t terribly conservative, having trashed Cain, Palin, and Santorum in favor of promoting first Perry, then Romney. These are the same “conservative” blogs that four years hence, should the Dems win, will be promoting Chris Christie.
after tomorrow we’ll know which way the wind is blowing in texas. i don’t think accuweather knows.
Here’s an interesting article about the proliferation of drones. If your local police department doesn’t have one yet they’re behind the times.
Here are long versions of some of the pro Dewhurst ads. They try to make the case that Cruz has no principles because he is a “Washington trained” lawyer who represents clients who are in the wrong.

Same reason I only see Obama stickers on my drive to work: We aren’t that deeply affected by Obama’s policies, so the “polite” way is still the best way.
Seniors especially believe the world still works like it did in 1952. I had to stop my Mom from telling me her “Roberts voted that way so everyone would have to go to Church” theory.

Atlas Shrugs has published a story that I consider a bombshell. I was going to characterize it as inside baseball, but it’s not. This should concern everyone equally.
The post is about the slow, steady march towards the whitewashing of jihad- Creeping Silence, if you will, and as Atlas points out, silence is sanctioning.
Michelle Malkin is named at the top of the article as someone who is not as vociferous as she once was on the topic of counter jihad. She used to link regularly to Robert Spencer’s “Blogging the Quran” series when she was at the helm of Hot Air, then it was abruptly pulled. Atlas speculates that this decision coincided with Malkin’s rise as a television fixture at Fox News. The inference is clear, do you want a career or do you want to be a shunned “Islamophobe?”
Is this a stretch? Ask Erick Erickson of Red State, whose comment about Judge Souter being a “goat fu**ing child molester” was trotted out by the left in an attempt to block him from movin’ on up to the deluxe CNN contributor slot in the sky.
What’s the message received? If you want to move up in the caste system you better clean up your act, and that, you’ll see, includes any uncomfortable remarks about Islam.

That 1 + 1 definitely equals 2, Newrouter.
Fish rots from the head and the progressives were well rotted before they became the head.
These agencies used to be half-competent corrupt thugs. Now they are embracing the Keystone cop model that shines from on high while keeping the corruption and the thuggishness intact.
“i don’t think accuweather knows.”
Well placed! (despite the lack of a shift key;)
– Like everthing else the Left does:
“Accuweather: Fake but accurate!”
There was a bad episode of Miami Vice?

Could it be because they are allowed to have suits closer to what was banned after 2008?

I would encourage everyone to read the Pamela Gellar post linked with additional commentary by Big Fur Hat that newrouter linked above, and now independently confirmed by Robert Spencer.
I would especially encourage those inclined to think Jeff is a paranoid, self-pitying whiner (or something along those lines) to do so.
I told you all this routing around “offensive” blogs was mainly about trying to capture more money and shit out a semi-official brand identity for “right” blogs to be measured against. Supposedly independent entities are using linkage to try and impose a set of standards so they can function as a cartel and informal professional ethics organization for ALL right blogging and declare those who won’t play ball unsightly harmful renegades.
In short they are willingly participating in a divide and conquer strategy believing it will somehow gain them legitimacy, permanence, a sense of untouchability, false unity, power through defining standards, and a solid career (that can be taken away if you piss off a daddy).
So stupid. It’s just thinning out forces, leading to dueling narratives/apparent reality modification, and alienating allies for delusions of being a real boy and the appearance of having a say in forming a culture that was strong precisely because it was not afraid of unorthodoxy.
Right blogs are now willingly heading the same way comics books did. They are pulling back to diminishing niche markets in a direct sales and one distributer type of system. That usually means no new fans, pandering, then flailing, then collapse or at the least limp sails. They will end up as a frightened paper tiger chicken shit society that will be easy pickings for a hostile PR machine of the real opposition. When the ad money dries up they will run off complaining about how everything fell apart but they will have betrayed themselves.
They chose to be a mere (shadow) institution instead of a vibrant movement. They fooled no one for long once they made the switch. They will end up repeating talking points like another smaller, dumber Journo-list bunch with secret knocks and passwords.
From there they’ll fade into a largely deserted echo chamber full of the few hard-cores who can’t admit what happened and let go.
Then like Charles Johnson they’ll spend all their time and effort avoiding the expanding hot lava of impolite unsophisticated topics they fear to tread on instead of saying or meaning anything important. They’ll end up as sad hollow eyed little parodies of what they once were and no one will care about them but a few nuts who have grown to like all the floggings and sermons.
Little risk means little reward. Give up freedom for security and you retain neither, nor did you ever deserve them.
Too bad.
All the right wing blog-o-torus is any good at anymore is hyper-dramatically slapping each other around over various externally provided “outrageous!” minutia and not seeing the many 800 pound gorillas violently copulating all around them in “the respectable and legitimate and accepted room” that they so fear being kicked out of.
It’s so safe and dark in fortress broom closet.
minutiae…
Right on, Pal (@1:26).
That’s why the only two blogs I pay any attention to are this one and RSM’s — both of which are largely ‘reader-supported’ blogs, or so I presume. Sure, JG and RSM each collect some pittance from advertising, but I’m pretty sure the bulk of their respective cash streams come in the form of direct contributions from loyal readers… people like me!
(Now, where’s my damned tote bag?)
A man needs to own the means to production. If he becomes dependent on those advertising dollars, and he compromises his product in an attempt to placate and/or not scare off the advertisers, well, that’s no way for a free man to live.
Unless we’re talking about a really big pile of advertising dollars… principles can be rationalized away as necessary if the price is right, I suppose. Hell, even the staunchest of hobbity visigoths need the occasional week in Cancun.
You can be all those things and still be right. ;-)
Just because you’re paranoid/don’t mean they’re not after you. – Kurt Cobain (presciently anticipating JG)
Gee, I sure hope the boy scout-like DEA guys didn’t force the corpse to play…
