ANOTHER "JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON" ATTACK ...
MESSAGE TO THIRD-PARTY FANTASISTS
Leftist stupidity on parade ...
Obama insists that it was government "investment" that made America great.
Rasmussen poll finds that an overwhelming majority of voters disagree.
Yet Obamunists say it's Romney who's out-of-touch with most Americans?!

Irony department ...
"The old, white, rich men who are buying this election." -- Old, rich Frank RICH, in New York Magazine.

Predictable. People crazed by the Trayvon Martin case posting Twitter messages demanding that both George Zimmerman and the judge who granted him bail be murdered.
- - - - -
The beat(ing) goes on ...
WKRG-TV reports that a mob of twenty blacks in Mobile beat a white man so badly he's in critical condition. A witness says as they left, one shouted, "That's justice for Trayvon."
Any comment from the White House? I didn't think so ...

Obama now campaigns on protecting -- and expanding -- the student-loan program. SENATOR Obama in 2007 couldn't be bothered to vote in support of the program when the bill was before the Senate. He was too busy out campaigning.

Michael Goodwin of the NY Post addresses the quadrennial phenomenon ...
"They’re political locusts, noisy and bothersome as they emerge like clockwork from their hidey holes. We’re talking “third partiers,” and they find presidential elections irresistible, so brace yourself, America. You are about to be swarmed by those much holier than thou.
"Their four-year life cycle means third partiers disappear between elections, but, as usual, they are now climbing onto their soapboxes to declare that neither major-party candidate is acceptable to their refined tastes. They alone are looking for the last, best leader of the free world.
"The rest of us, on the other hand, are zombies being hoodwinked by Democrats and Republicans, so third partiers are here to save us from our stupid selves.
"The noisy demand for other choices is a post-primary ritual, and the most predictable part is that the pols the elitists find acceptable all share one thing: They are unelectable."
It might be helpful for Republicans to remember that Ross Perot put Bill Clinton into the White House.
Among the favored third-party candidates (largely favored by Democrats who wanted to pick the Republican nominee): Jon Huntsman, who got about as many voters as you'd find in the mens' room at your local Greyhound station.

Terry offers this comment on the GSA (General Services Administration) party-spending scandal and general inefficiency ...
"If the lease on our local Post Office is any example ... This 3500 square ft. building is being leased by the the U.S. Post Office for about $8,000 per month. As an FYI, any developer would build and lease this building to anyone for less than $4,000 per month.
"Now, take that kind of waste and multiply it by every building the GSA leases."

It appears that Wal-Mart, embroiled in allegations of bribery paid in Mexico to facilitate operations in that corrupt country, faces a dilemma encountered by many companies try to do business in such places; i.e., do you do business the same way as indigenous companies and pay off ... or simply abandon the country?
The latter course would not only harm Wal-Mart but Mexico, as well, because Wal-Mart is the largest employer in the entire nation.

The Pew Hispanic Center finds that Mexican immigration to the U.S. has come to a virtual halt. The reason has nothing to do with Obama border control, which is non-existent; instead, it has everything to do with Obama's failure on the economic front. Our economy is in such wretched shape that incentive to immigrate, even from poor countries, is diminished.

Doug Haggman in the Canada Free Press with a glimpse of what's in store for us -- U.S. -- if Obamunism continues ...
"America and the world today is in chaos. Wars, rumors of wars, high gasoline prices, increasing food prices, growing divisions among races and between classes, current and impending financial collapses dominate the headlines. Critics and detractors of Barack Hussein Obama claim that it is a result of his failed policies that our house and much of the world is in such disarray. Investigation into the man known as Barack Hussein Obama II and the people behind him suggests otherwise.
"The chaos that presently exists domestically and across the globe is destined to get worse, but it’s not due to Obama’s inexperience or failed policies. Rather, it is the direct result of the implementation of his successful policies. The chaos in which we find ourselves is exactly what has been planned for decades. Chaos is the tactic, the means to an end, and not the result of failure of policy by the man known as Barack Hussein Obama II."

Count on it. In this November's election, we are going to see vote-fraud on a scale that will make the Kennedy campaign's vote-buy and voting by Chicago graveyard residents look like a children's game of patty-cake.

"I have to stop saying...'How stupid can you be?'...
People are starting to take it as a challenge." -- Thanks, Mike

The Weekly Standard carries word that former Palestinian intelligence official Muhammad Abu Shahala has reportedly been sentenced to death by the Palestinian Authority for selling a Hebron home to Jews. In response, Jewish officials from the community in Hebron are calling for international officials now to get involved—in order to save Abu Shahala’s life.

Blogger Jeff Dunetz shines the light on another piece of Obama two-faced hypocrisy ...
"Only Barack Obama! (Yesterday) the President tried to show he was a friend of the Jews with a beautifully crafted speech at the Holocaust Museum. Showing his words mean nothing, also (yesterday) Samantha Power began work as chair of President Barack Obama's new Atrocities Prevention Board.
If you don't remember Ms Power, she once called for a US force to invade Israel and force through a "peace settlement." Powers also had some unflattering things to say about about America's Jewish population during the 2008 campaign."

The TSA Airport Gestapo strikes again ...
This time it happened in Wichita, Kansas. A four-year-old girl, screaming in fear, was searched because of suspicion by an officious TSA agent that she might be carrying a gun. She had committed the crime of giving her grandmother a goodbye hug.
If Mitt wants another campaign issue, he might issue a statement saying, "Any such future idiocies will be punished not only by immediate firing but whatever legal charges -- assault, for example -- as may be applicable."
Asking again: When was the last (or first ... or only) time you ever heard of this bunch of government thugs actually catching a genuine terrorist? Yet we pay these leeches to harass us!

The minimum bid to have dinner at Warren Buffett's boyhood home was $6,000. How many bidders were there?
Zero. -- Wall Street Journal

If you don't buy into the retro argument that, "If you can't drive a stick-shift, you can't really drive," you might want to reconsider in light of repeated events such as this ...
A couple of carjackers were stymied in Washington, D.C., because after scaring away the driver, they couldn't complete the theft because they couldn't drive a stick-shift.

I'd completely forgotten this until a reader tipped me to the piece on WWV, the nation's time-signal shortwave station (20MHZ), on the Wikipedia website.
Back in the early 1990's I recorded the voicing of the time for that station under a contract won by a Silicon Valley tech-firm. Apparently it's still being used.
I also recorded an odd conglomeration of sounds that could be computer-assembled to create words for a reading device that enables blind people to simply pass a scanner over a printed page and have my voice read it to them. About six months after I did the studio sessions, the manager of the project called me at the ABC studios in San Francisco and gave me the odd experience of hearing my own voice reading that morning's San Jose Mercury News.
At the same time I was doing these sessions, I also recorded the voice to be used for the automated countdown (" ... three ... two ... one") of intercontinental ballistic missile launches. Does that make me officially "The Voice of Doom?" (BOO!)

People fed up with the liberal big-government mentality that pervades the U.S. often fantasize about emigrating to a more sensible Australia. They will be dismayed to learn the outcome when an Australian government employee on a convention trip was injured while copulating so energetically with another government worker in a hotel room that a light fixture fell and injured her.
The government awarded her worker's compensation, agreeing that her injuries occurred while on government business.

Quoth columnist Cindy Adams ...
SO this guy says: “I haven’t had sex in such a long time, I forgot which one gets tied up.”
