My home in Southern California
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we — we own this country. We own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.”
But I just think it is important that you realize , that you’re the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you’re libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go. ~~Clint Eastwood

Nice Deb points out Barry’s empty chair paranoia
College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party’s national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.
Nice touch with the driver. Michelle Malkin has a bunch of empty chair pics. My favorite one is the empty chair on the moon.

“23 million empty chairs say it’s NOT Bushes fault Barry!”
Steven Hayward posted a few pics over at Powerline. Particularly nice, I thought, was the last.
– The Proggies are apparently hiding – under their chairs.
– Over at Huff’n’Poop the Lede is “What Bounce?”. Any reference whatsoever to National Empty Chair Day is MIA. *crickets*
Has anyone seen a chair paired with a Chic-Fil-A gesture yet? I haven’t, which isn’t to say there hasn’t been one. Still, as quasi-spontaneous protests follow on the heels of one another, some compilation reminding the current protesters of the former would appear to be in order.
It’s part of what happens in a preference cascade.

John Cusack: ‘Is Obama Just Another Ivy League
A–hole?’
The empty chair I want to see is the one at the inaugural on January 20. No outgoing president has ever refused to attend his successor’s swearing-in, but Obama could be the first.
I can’t believe Republians would stoop to using a racist symbol like an empty chair. Everyone knows it represents the empty seat at the back of the bus where they thiink Obama and all people of color should be sitting. Now we’ll NEVER win the independents! /sarc

Oh, I want them to show up just so I can see the bitch-face on M’chelle and watch Barry forget himself and light up a Newport of his way to Marine One.
Obama would try to blow smoke into Romney’s face.
Michelle would welcome the Romneys to the White House the morning of the inaugural — as is the practice — but only have coffee or tea to offer as drinks.
“…or how about a champagne brunch?”
The Romneys would accept the coffee, tea or booze and let it sit there, untouched. While smiling and talking to each other about what paint colors they’d like to have in the Residence.
Busing them in is the old way to fill the seats. With a compliant/complicit media there are other methods available.
Perhaps they can use the “Lord of the Rings” Orc armies movie magic too.
Oh man, I’d laugh hysterically at a stadium filled with orcs for the Obabo nomination.
But that’s definitely racist, given some reading I’ve done on how the orcs represent the black “other” and all the elves are lily-white and just want people out of their neighborhood. You know, because Lord of the Rings is a metaphor for white flight.
– Problems right out of the gate at the DNC:
“It’s a movie about the push for school choice, a movement that has been gaining momentum around the country for the past several years. It is also a film about teachers’ unions, who are one of the Democratic Party’s biggest and most loyal sources of political contributions.”
– Chioce for me but not for thee. Progressives are so full of shit.
Even President Obama observes Empty Chair Day!

Heh. I hadn’t heard that one. I did have a woman tell me ages ago that Watership Down was a metaphor for the Holocaust.
the midas touch of the mt chair
President Barack Obama was a pioneering contributor to the national subprime real estate bubble, and roughly half of the 186 African-American clients in his landmark 1995 mortgage discrimination lawsuit against Citibank have since gone bankrupt or received foreclosure notices.
As few as 19 of those 186 clients still own homes with clean credit ratings, following a decade in which Obama and other progressives pushed banks to provide mortgages to poor African Americans.
The startling failure rate among Obama?s private sector clients was discovered during The Daily Caller?s review of previously unpublished court information from the lawsuit that a young Obama helmed as the lead plaintiff?s attorney.
Since the mortgage bubble burst, some of his former clients are calling for a policy reversal.
?If you see some people don?t make enough money to afford the mortgage, why would you give them a loan?? asked Obama client John Buchanan. ?There should be some type of regulation against giving people loans they can?t afford.?

You don’t need a regulation against giving people loans they cannot afford. The market will take care of that problem. What you do need is for the government to stay out of the loan business.
I know that’s not exactly news to any regulars.
THEY FOUND US! RUN!!!
– Their empty heads match the empty chairs.
I couldn’t really put out a chair, so I made a shirt to commemorate the day. I love this meme, I hope it runs all fall.

AFSCME President Lee Saunders, capping off a fiery speech to the Wisconsin delegation Monday morning, held a conversation with an invisible Eastwood.
An empty chair had been brought on stage before Saunders started speaking, but he ignored it for most of his speech.
“I don’t know if you noticed, but you see this chair? I don’t know if you noticed that he actually walked in with me. He’s invisible, he’s sitting right here. He’s been listening to everything I had to say,” Saunders said. “So I want you to welcome Clint Eastwood.”
“I’ve got a couple of questions. I’ve got a couple of questions I want to ask Clint Eastwood,” Saunders continued as dozens of attendees cracked up. “But first, buddy, what do you have to say for yourself? I didn’t hear you.”
“Clint’s been sitting here for the past hour. He doesn’t have anything to say for himself. Mitt Romney has nothing to say for himself. Paul Ryan has nothing to say for himself,” he said. “We’ve got to make our voices heard. We’ve got to speak loud and clear. If we do that, we will win in November.”
“Dirty Harry, Dirty Harry, make my day,” Saunders yelled, knocking the empty chair off of the stage.

Dirty Harry, Dirty Harry, make my day,” Saunders yelled, knocking the empty chair off of the stage.
– In his fucking dreams.
– But hey, if they want to keep it going, apparently the symbolism of the fearless leaders empty record is to nuanced for them, Well then bring it on Progoats.
That has to be the dumbest goddamn thing I’ve read all day. Don’t quit your day job, Lee.

CHICAGO POLICE AT THE NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION
I hadn’t realized how effective Eastwood’s one act play was.
It was simple, subtle and true.
“Dirty Harry, Dirty Harry, make my day,” Saunders yelled, knocking the empty chair off of the stage.
It was a small hall, there wasn’t room for a windmill…
Recreate 68?
You’d think all those Chi-town cops would be needed at home since people are murdering each other left and right.
Damn. Nearly missed it! Nearly.

Here’s my chair. I was going to put a highchair on top of my truck, but Mrs. E ruled out that one.
