Young people are turning on Obama

Posted on

(H/T Doug Powers @ Michelle Malkin)

Young people are beginning to realize that the “Magic Negro” was never really magical at all.

Via the New York Post:

Young voters who had been enthralled by Barack Obama’s “Yes, we can” message are now saying “Maybe not” — and are backing away from the president in a worrisome new poll for the White House.

Obama is losing in a match-up against a generic Republican challenger by 37 percent to 34 percent among voters in the 18-34 age group, according to a stunning Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday.

In March, voters in this group approved of Obama by 54 percent to 37 percent.

“The youngest age group may be the most impatient and the most easily disillusioned among all age groups,” said Molly Andolina, a youth-vote expert and DePaul University political-science professor.

For many young voters in 2008, “it was the first time they’d been really been involved, really paying attention. This is someone telling them, ‘Yes, you can,’ ” she said.

Two years later, with a prolonged Gulf oil spill, “watching how slow it is to respond may be a little disillusioning,” she added.

I could use this space to be snarky or whatever. But, I really will just speak the truth. This is what happens when the person that you are trying to elect is oversold. It is a classic case of Democratic Party overreach. Have the Republicans ever done this? Absolutely; They did it with Reagan to a point, but it was nowhere near the scale and size of what the Democratic Party did with Barack Obama. Not only that, but the Reagan campaign and Presidency did not engage in the Chicago-style of political thuggery that the Obama campaign was notorious for.

There is also a more broader and finer point to be made as well. That point is that as a political candidate, you get one chance to capture the hearts and minds of the American people. Just one chance! If you are able to do it and you louse it up; you are, as they say, screwed. Barack Obama rode in on the promise of “Hope and Change”, and it turned out that he is just another Chicago thug politician. Further more, it became very clear to the most devoted of Obama supporters that now President Obama was just not much of a political leader, but rather a thinker. This became very apparent when the oil spill happened. In fact, Obama still has this attitude of being above it all, even after it has happened.

So, this poll should not be a shock to anyone. Least of all to us who knew what the man was really all about.

Walking it back a bit

Posted on2 Comments

As those of you who read this blog on a daily basis know, in a fit of anger the other day, I decided to tell the World that I was no longer a “Right of Center.”

I tend to say many things when I am ticked off.

Listen folks, I am an American.  I am also someone who believes that America is a great place and that we have it good here and last thing we need is a bunch of idiots from California, New York, and other such liberal bastions lousing it up for us.  They have already done this to a point, however, I believe that we can still reverse course and make things right, if we get the right leadership in the White House and in Congress.

Another point that I would like to make is this; Centrists, for all their good points also have issues as well. They tend to be accepting to far left socialism.  I just cannot find that acceptable, socialism and Democratic policy has been the ruin of many a good State; Michigan included.  I ought to know this, as I live only about 15 miles from Downtown Detroit.  Detroit, before the rise of black liberalism in the Detroit area, was an industrial Mecca, people came for all around the Country, just to get a good job in the auto plants.  What happened?  Well, if I were a partisan hack, I would simply blame the unions.  They are easy, but there is much more to it than this.  The international auto industry changed; and the big three here did not and as a result; the hiring days ended.

Now my statement about black liberalism is not a racist one, but rather a political one — simply put, black liberals just were not able to run this city like their white predecessors. Why was this?  Because of the identity politics of the city, this goes back to the first black mayor of Detroit.  The election of the first black Mayor of Detroit was widely seen as a defeat of the white Democratic power structure in Detroit.  Another reason was the corruption in the City of Detroit.  Mayor Coleman Young was the most corrupt Mayor ever.  The reason why he was never caught is that he was just that good.  Another reason is that it is believed that Mayor Young was bribing investigators as well.  Nothing says leave me alone better than a case full of money.  It does tend to work.

As I have said on this blog many times.  I will always tell you what I think; not what some partisan talking point says.  I will tell you what I, personally, think about politics and policy.  If I feel something is wrong, I will tell you about it.  If I like something, I will tell you that as well — Having said that, I personally believe that Andrew BreitBart is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being.  Andrew Breitbart knowingly released a video that portrayed a woman in a dishonest manner.  That, together with the things that this disgusting excuse for a Jew said about Ted Kennedy the DAY he died, just proved to me what sort of a vile, disgusting, piece of human excrement that this man really is.  Now, if anyone wants to play the Semite card because I brought up the fact that Breitbart is a Jew, feel free, I would give two flips about that, I would have said that about him if he were White, Black, or Latino. The issue here is not Breitbart’s Semite status, it is his morals; and quite bluntly, they suck.

Now as for my politics, I still consider myself a Classic Liberal, a libertarian-minded individual, a right of center, a Goldwater type;  someone who believes in the individual rather than the collective.  I am someone that believes that a person has the right to succeed and a right to fail.  I have not changed; I was simply angered by what I saw as an opportunist smearing someone to make a cheap political point.  There should be no place for that sort of nonsense in the discourse of politics; however, in this age of unfiltered new media it does happen.  The question is, will we as Bloggers, and Americans continue to give a platform to the vile disgusting likes of this morally depraved fool?  That is the question that all of us in this thing we call the Blogosphere should be asking ourselves this day — and not whether this woman is a socialist; of course she is, that really is not the point.  The point was, she was smeared as a racist and is not; THAT is the point my dear friends.  Until we can get to that place of realizing that, the Blogosphere of the right, will be seen as nothing more than a child’s playground and propaganda mill; and that my friends is the sad thing about this, it has destroyed us as a whole.

The real sick and sadistic part of this whole mess is this.  A little while back, the controversial Louis Farrakhan said that Jews have caused damage to blacks for years.  At the time, I thought that to be an outrageous statement, not to mention Anti-Semitic; now it seems that the people like Andrew Breitbart and many others on the right are trying their damnedest to prove Farrakhan right.  I think we as a whole, on the right, need to work on that little image very quick.  Because frankly at this point, we are giving people like Farrakhan and the many people on the left, that think like him; black, White, Latino, and whatever else, the talking point they need to further that “gospel” of hatred.

That is my opinion and I welcome yours.

Local Stupidity: Ann Arbor Michigan spends $850,000 on art, while firefighters are laid off

Posted on1 Comment

Finally, something worthy of a blog post!

This has to be the MOST tone deaf things that I have read since the election of Barack Obama…:

The debate in Ann Arbor, where firefighters are being laid off due to a multimillion dollar budget deficit, is over an $850,000 piece of art.

That’s how much the city has agreed to pay German artist Herbert Dreiseitl for a three-piece water sculpture that would go in front of the new police and courts building right by the City Hall.

The city has the money to do it because in 2007, it agreed to set aside for public art 1 percent of money that went into capital improvement projects that were $100,000 or larger. Most capital projects involve streets, sewers and water.

Ann Arbor City Council member Stephen Kunselman, a Democrat, opposed the art deal.

“I think it is incredibly insensitive,” Kunselman said. “It is insensitive to the staff and their morale. It is insensitive to the community. There are people out there struggling financially, and here we are spending a large amount of money on a piece of art.”

Kunselman said the city is also eliminating the solid waste coordinator from the budget, which oversees trash pickup, and hiring an art coordinator.

City Administrator Roger Fraser wrote in an e-mail that the solid waste coordinator position was eliminated as a cost-cutting measure because the solid waste millage had decreased. Fraser wrote that the art coordinator position would be paid for by the public art fund.

Fraser noted that the public art dollars did not come from the city’s general fund, which is used to pay salaries and benefits, and that less than $6,000 of the art money came from the general fund.

The art projects also must have a “thematic connection” to the source of funding, Fraser wrote. The $850,000 art project is water-themed, because the money came from storm water funds.

But some critics say that a city creative enough to fund art from storm water projects should be able to find money to cover essential city services.

“That’s the classic argument,” said Glenn Thompson, an Ann Arbor resident and longtime critic of city spending. “But the city has become very, very good at shuffling money in and out of the general fund when they want. These people are very good at putting it in and out of the general fund when they wish.”

Michael LaFaive, the director of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy’s Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative said nonessential services are being funded throughout the state.

“Administrators cry poverty while lavishing money on the beautiful people,” LaFaive said. “The threat to dismiss firefighters often comes while officials protect golf courses, wave pools and art. No city can cry poverty while it defends recreation and aesthetics such as art.”

LaFaive said administrators get creative with budgets to fund pet projects.

I would say that I am shocked about this; but hey, it is Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor, for those who are not from these parts; is a bastion of Liberalism. Basically, it is San Francisco in Michigan. Yeah, it is that liberal. 🙄

True Story: When I actually worked for a living; back in the mid 90’s, I made a delivery to that city, I mean, right downtown; you talk about feeling like driving into an alternative universe. 😯 There were people…..everywhere. I was near, as in like a block away, from the local university there. It was quite the interesting experience. I remember getting my package signed for, and scrambling to find the entrance to the freeway and getting the heck out of dodge!  I went back to the shop and said in my most pitiful, mournful, voice, “PLEASE, DON’T SEND ME TO ANN ARBOR ANYMORE!” I thought the secretary at the office was going to fall out of her chair laughing at me. 😀

A man can only handle so many weird looking people in one place! 😀

The wages of the Far-Right: Exhibit BW: Byron Williams

Posted on1 Comment

This here, is what happens, when you allow Far-Right talk radio to continue on unregulated. (As in with no fairness doctrine)

The Story:

Byron Williams

Convicted felon Byron Williams loaded up his mother’s Toyota Tundra with guns, strapped on his body armor and headed to San Francisco late Saturday night with one thing in mind: to kill workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and an environmental foundation, prosecutors say.

Williams, an anti-government zealot on parole for bank robbery, had hoped to “start a revolution” with the bloodshed at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation in San Francisco, authorities said.

But before he made it to the city, Williams was stopped at early Sunday by California Highway Patrol officers for speeding and driving erratically on westbound Interstate 580 west of Grand Avenue in Oakland.

Police say he then initiated a chaotic, 12-minute gunbattle with officers, firing a 9mm handgun, a .308-caliber rifle and a shotgun. He reloaded his weapons when he ran out of ammunition and stopped only after officers shot him in areas of his body not covered by his bullet-resistant vest, authorities said.

via Alleged gunman says he wanted ‘a revolution’.


Do you think that the Far-Right Wing media is not just a little bit liable for this incident? I do.

A fairness doctrine would stop such stuff; and force broadcasters to employ a bit more responsibility.

Why I left the Right: Exhibit C for Conspiracy

Posted on1 Comment

As you already know there is a HUGE story about the USDA workers firing.

…and what is wing-nut Andrew Breitbart now saying, that he has been exposed?

Think Progress reports:

Two white farmers who were supposedly discriminated against by former USDA official Shirley Sherrod spoke out on her behalf yesterday, saying “no way in the world” is she racist.

But last night, the right-wing blogger who instigated this faux controversy questioned the white farmers’ honesty and repeated his false racist charges. In interviews with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and CNN, the Iron City, GA couple Roger and Eloise Spooner described Sherrod as a “friend for life” and a “good person” who helped save their farm. Speaking with CNN’s John King, right-wing provocateur Andrew Breitbart challenged Eloise Spooner’s “purported” story, accusing King of trusting Sherrod “that the ‘farmer’s wife’ is the farmer’s wife…

The complete interview can be found Here and Here. But the money part is this right here:

Transcript:

You tell me as a reporter how CNN put on a person today who purported to be the farmer’s wife? What did you do to find out whether or not that was the actual farmer’s wife? I mean, if you’re going to accuse me of a falsehood, tell me where you’ve confirmed that had this incident happened 24 years ago. […]

You’re going off of her word that the farmer’s wife is the farmer’s wife?

Yeah, like CNN or anyone else for the matter is going to grab someone off of the street and put them on a farm and tell them, presumably at gunpoint or whatever is in Andrew Breitbart’s mind; and force them to say they were helped by this woman. Andrew Breitbart has lost all credibility in this situation and is now spinning like a top and has crossed over into WorldNetDaily territory. In short, the man is basically trying to save face and is failing badly.

Just another reason why I left the right.

Stupid Right Wing Headline of the Day…..

Posted on

This one is for the “Well, Duh!” section of the blog.

New polling data from Gallup on President Barack Obama’s job approval show that he is least popular in those states where people self-identify as “conservative” – in states, for example, such as Alabama, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. At the same time, the numbers show Obama is most popular in the one area where more people self-identify as “liberals”: the District of Columbia.

A July 19 poll on Obama’s job approval showed he was least popular (lowest ranking and up) in Wyoming, with an approval rating of only 29 percent, followed by Utah, with 34 percent approval; West Virginia, 34 percent; Idaho, 34 percent; and Oklahoma, 37 percent.

via CNSNews.com – Obama Job Approval Lowest Among ‘Conservative’ States.

****Please Note: the following is extremely harsh sarcasm*****

I just do not get why this is actually news. I mean, Brent “The Bozo” Bozell actually pays people to write this sort of blatant stupidity. Of course, President Obama is not going to poll well in Conservative parts of the Country! I mean, why the hell would he not?

I guess he does this for the benefit of the extreme right in this Country. You know the ones who actually believe that President Barack Obama is not an American citizen. Also for those who believe he is some sort of Crypto-Commie Muslim or something. You know, the one’s that I refuse to give any space on this blog; and for that I have been labeled a “fake Conservative” because of it. The real ironic part is; a few of the bloggers who have said and done this, are Jewish people, like these people now have the right to smear a black man, because of what Adolf Hilter did to their people. I can tell you this, if ever a Jew were elected President; and people on the left or right criticized him, like people are doing Obama. The Semite card players would be out in full force —- Just like the race-card people are now.

This crap here is another reason why I have basically decided to stop siding with the right in this Country. Enough is enough and I have had enough of it. It is time get back to the reality; but it is becoming more clear by the minute that the Far Right and even the not-so-far right are living in altered state of reality.

On the right; in the end, it is the “That Nigger President and his socialist minions are going to rap our babies, Eat our children and steal our Money!” types that win out over reason and common sense. Which is why I’ve basically moved back to the center of the political fence. I didn’t vote for Obama; but I am not going to sit here and slander the man anymore. At least not to go along with the Republican Party’s narrative. The Conservative Blogosphere is made up serial liars, Neo-Nazi’s who are treated with respect, and shrieking harpy’s who are just plan crazy. Not my kind of crowd; that is about annoying and stupid as the Christian Right, of which I used to be part of. So, I know of what I speak.

Ugly-assed Lesbo heifer gets $35K settlement over canceled prom

Posted on

Good Lord… 🙄

Somebody get that bitch a field to graze in... MOO!

JACKSON, Miss. — A rural school district that canceled its prom rather than allow a lesbian student to attend with her girlfriend has agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit the ACLU filed on her behalf.

The district also agreed to follow a non-discrimination policy as part of the settlement, though it argues such a policy was already in place.

Constance McMillen, 18, said the victory came at the price of her being shunned in her small hometown of Fulton.

“I knew it was a good cause, but sometimes it really got to me. I knew it would change things for others in the future and I kept going and I kept pushing,” McMillen said in an interview Tuesday.

She ought to have to pay 15K of that money back, just for being so damn fugly… I mean, no wonder she’s a dyke! Would you want to put your, um, manhood in that? Not me! 😯

Stupidity from the Moderation Cue

Posted on

Well, seeing that I broke from the right, because of their stupidity; like having sword fights with the NAACP, instead of covering real stories, like the murder of a Republican Election official in Tennessee. I now am getting silly comments in my moderation cue in the comments section, stuff like this right here:

A real knee slapper that one is… HAW HAW HAW!  🙄

I already tell, this is going to be a very interesting experience dealing with these idiot wingers.

As of today: I am no longer an “Right of Center” Blogger

Posted on3 Comments

This decision is not one that I just made flippantly. It is one that has been coming for a long time; ever since the election actually or shortly afterward.

This is not to say that I am siding again with the Democrats, oh hell no. 🙄  But I am basically divorcing myself from what I really never was in the first place. As you know, if you read the “About Me” section and the “About this Blog” section on here; that I am, and really always was an independent. I was just an Independent, who sided with the right, when it came to Obama and the Democratic Party.

However, here in the last few weeks, it seems that the Republican Party and the Conservative Blogosphere has become entrenched in some very blatant stupidity. Like the stupid “Sword Fight” with the NAACP over racism; meanwhile stories like the Republican murdered in Tennessee are all but ignored.  I am for the preservation of American values and American Jobs, but what I am not for, is stupid partisan nonsense which has been coming from the Conservative Blogosphere as of late.

There is much more that I could write about this; but I really think you all know what I mean. I mean, the right Blogosphere has all but imposed a blackout on my blog; because some dirt-bag decided that I was not a “True Conservative”; whatever that is…. Anyhow, I guess because I did not suck up to Michelle Malkin and posted one of her old addresses, because she decided to stalk a family, who’s child was badly injured in an auto accident — that makes me a fake Conservative. Pfft, As if. 🙄 Her true Conservatism was exposed as a fraud to many, when she offloaded HotAir, because it was supposedly a “bad investment”, which sums up her entire “Conservatism” —– a money-making deception. For what it is worth; I was not the person who exposed where she lived in Maryland, which made her have to move to Colorado. Even I am not that big of an asshole. Malkin has kids and I’d never do a thing to hurt a kid. I posted that old address, BEFORE I even knew she had any kids. The rumor that was told to me, is that the idiots over at Democratic Underground were a part of that little stunt. But, I cannot confirm that, so take it for what it is worth.

Anyhow, I made some changes. I removed the blogrolls, I removed my blog from the Ad-Hives on BlogAds. I’ll keep the BlogAds Advertisements on there. But, I don’t plan on pimping myself out to anything on the right or the left anymore. I will continue to blog about crap that pisses me off in the World of politics; but don’t expect me to accept any stupid narratives anymore. I will say what I damned well feel about stuff and if anyone does not like it. They can go screw themselves. I just really do not give two craps anymore about this idiotic nonsense.

Will I continue blogging? Yes. I do not plan on going anywhere. I am just very pissed off at what I thought were my friends on the right. Truthfully, I was nothing more than a useful idiot to those bastards.

Anyhow, I am off to take a much needed nap. I may also take a few weeks off from blogging. Because at this point; this shit ain’t fun anymore. 🙁

See ya

Updated: Why was this man murdered?

Posted on6 Comments

Why was this man killed?

Who did it and Why?

Those are questions that I would like to know….

From KnoxNews.com:

The Victim: Jim Miller - Monroe County Election Commission Chairman

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. — Investigators are tight lipped, rumors are flying and a community is in shock by the discovery Saturday of a body that is widely believed to be Monroe County Election Commission Chairman Jim Miller, stuffed in the trunk of a burning car.

Late Monday afternoon, it was announced that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had become the lead agency of the four agencies investigating the case.

“It is Jim’s car, and Jim is missing,” said his longtime attorney and personal friend, John Cleveland, who is the city attorney for Sweetwater, Tenn. “But everybody would be pleased … to find out that we are wrong (and it is not him).”

Cleveland issued a statement Monday on behalf of Miller’s family that clearly indicates they believe he is the victim. Miller was last seen at the county’s Election Commission office around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. He was working that day because of early voting, said County Election Administrator James R. Brown.

“He’d made a call to his wife and was going home, but he never made it home,” Brown said. “This has got people talking in the county. It’s got people wondering.

Now why would I even remotely care about this? This is why:

Miller, 60, was a lifelong Sweetwater resident and very active in community affairs and the Republican Party, say people who knew him.

[…]

Besides his Election Commission post, Miller was 1st District chairman of the county’s Republican Party. He was president of Jim Miller Excavating Co.

Could it be that this man discovered some election fraud in Tennessee or knew about some; and maybe was planning to go public with it, and the Democrats in Tennessee ordered him killed? Is it wrong to ask such questions? After all, President Obama did say, “Get in their faces!” I mean, we already know about the Republican who got shoved and punched by a union goon at a nurses union rally; who is to say that the Democratic National Committee or the Democratic Party in Tennessee did not order this man killed? Something stinks and I think some sort of new media investigation is needed.I would head down there myself; but I do not have the funds to check it out, and I really do not have any reliable transportation.

Let me say this; if this was a hit on a Republican election official, and anyone outside of the State level was involved with this, it could have horrible ramifications for the Democratic Party in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Let me also say this; I normally as a rule do not engage in this sort of speculation, but this one reeks of a plot to murder the political opposition. I just hope that I am wrong and this was an random act of violence towards an old man. However, it does warrant media investigation. However, we all know that the Liberal media will not get involved in this; because it does not fit their narrative.

Update: So far. Not one blogger has replied to my e-mail or even linked. Needless to say, I am not happy with the Conservative Blogosphere right now. 😡

Update #2: From the comments section:

This, most likely, is a family related murder not political. BtW, no identification has been made yet. This guy and his brothers have been in a 10 plus year war over a dairy farm with numerous appeals. miller v miller Appeals Court Ruling PDF I am from this area and people down here don’t get killed for politics. They get killed over probate and death gifts of estates. :twisted: This area is so republican that most people won’t even admit to being a Reagan democrat. :oops: Either way, it is sad.

Update #3: From the comments:

I wanted to update this story. In a surprising turn of events, the Sheriff Deputy who drove by and saw the car burning has been suspended with pay and declared a suspect in the arson and murder. Captain Kenny Hope of the Monroe County Sheriff Department even admitted that he was the only suspect and was questioned by the TBI (Tennessee version of the FBI.)

Captain Kenny Hope was hired in 2006, after Democrat Bill Blevins was elected as the first democratic sheriff and first democratic county-wide office holder in decades. His win was based not because of a political platform but perceived abuse and alleged illegal actions by the proceeding sheriff and disgraced Rep. General Session Judge Edwin Harris (Resigned over drug crimes) and Rep. Judge Hagler (Resigned after tapes were discovered containing sexual fantasies and who was suspected of killing a priest in Chattanooga in a weird sex case.)

Earlier in 2010 Captain Hope and the Mr. Miller was in a conflict during a traffic stop and arrest. The case is so convulsed that the DA and Judge recused themselves and the case was transferred out of County.

Sure enough, here are the links to the story here. Looks like there might just be some corruption on the local level after all.

Good: Jihad enabling lawyer gets 10 years

Posted on1 Comment

For once, it seems that the justice system is doing it’s job; for a change.

Lynne Stewart - Terrorist Enabling Swine

NEW YORK — A 70-year-old civil rights lawyer was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison in a terrorism case by a judge who boosted her original sentence by nearly eight years after concluding she lied to a jury and lacked remorse.

“I’m somewhat stunned,” Lynne Stewart told U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl after he announced the sentence for her conviction for letting a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his radical followers despite restrictions in place to prevent it.

The sentence, nearly four times longer than the two-year, four-month sentence she originally received in 2006, left Stewart sobbing in her prison uniform after Koeltl described his reasons for increasing the prison time significantly.

An appeals court had ordered a new sentencing, saying the terrorism component of the case needed to be considered, along with whether she committed perjury at her trial. The court said it had “serious doubts” whether her original sentence was reasonable.

The judge said public comments Stewart made after her first sentencing showed him that the “original sentence was not sufficient.”

He said she showed “a lack of remorse for conduct that was both illegal and potentially lethal.”

via The Associated Press: NY lawyer gets 10-year term in terrorism case.

The bottom line is this; this woman decided to side with those intent on committing terrorism in the name of Islam. She allowed her personal politics to interfere with her job; and for that she is going to prison. This is a good thing and it is my hope that she does her entire sentence. Terrorism is an evil thing and those who aid it should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Yes, it is true.

Local Station WJLA-TV Reports:

WASHINGTON – ABC 7 viewers are sending in first-hand accounts of a magnitude 3.7 earthquake that shook homes across the D.C. region early Friday morning.

The quake hit at 5:04 a.m. EDT and was centered near Germantown, Md., according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center. The minor quake startled many residents throughout region.

I just wonder how long it will be before some idiot from the far right will start saying something idiotic like, “Oh, this must be a sign from the lawd that Obama does not belong in the White House!” or something moronic like it….

Cool: Beavis and Butthead to return to TV

Posted on1 Comment

(H/T HotAir Headlines)

The NY Post Reports:

‘Beavis and Butt-head” — the show that celebrated the slacker way of life and helped make MTV into a network that did more than just play music videos — is coming back.

The move to resurrect the hugely popular 1990s animated anti-heroes has been rumored for several days. But yesterday, sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of “Beavis and Butt-head” episodes are in the works.

The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals — who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set — could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga.

To which I say, the first time this series makes an off color joke about Lady Ga-Ga or President Obama or something like that; it will be canceled. The reason why B & B were canceled before, was:
  1. Pressure from Parent Groups who claimed the show was making their kids want to burn houses down. Which in itself is quite stupid; because if you stupid kid burns down your house, because he watches something on TV —he has bigger issues than just Beavis and Butthead.
  2. Because by the time MTV pulled the series; it had become incredibly lame. I mean, there is just so much of that sort of stupidity that you can come up with. I mean, “This Sucks” only has so much mileage.

I also have an opinion as to why Beavis and Butthead might not work in this day and age on MTV. Back in the Mid-1990’s, MTV was still playing rock music. Beavis and Butthead were a fictional and much over the top depiction of your typical suburbanite white kid, who listened to metal music. Kids liked the show, because they saw a themselves in the show; albeit in a humorous manner.  Today, MTV mostly plays Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B Music; Beavis and Butthead are going to be sorely out of place on the modern day MTV. I mean, it might work somehow; but I just do not see that show having a huge audience, especially in prime time hours.

So, while the show was cool, back in the day. Context as to why the show was very popular is also very important.

Having said all that, this is just too funny….: Click here for the video

Cool.

Heh, leave it to Smitty to nicely word a rather ugly situation. But let me be blunt; it is, after all, what I do and damned well too, if I may be so forward.

Look here, Obama might be a socialist, Obama might be a far lefty; posting as a centrist — he might just be all that and then some. But the last time I checked; he has not sent a boatload of Jews to be sent off to the slaughter. Further more, he has not rounded up any Conservatives and sent them to the damn gulags….yet!

So, as the idiotic old windbag Chris Matthews once very artfully put in a commentary of his; Let’s all back away from the stupid Nazi and/or Communist horseshit for a while, okay? I mean, let’s criticize Socialism, for what it is, bad policy, but let’s lay off the stupid stuff; because it does not do a damn thing for our side!

That is all…

Good: Police Charged in Post-Katrina Shootings

Posted on1 Comment

Finally, Justice for the people of New Orleans:

NEW ORLEANS — Four current and two former New Orleans police officers have been charged in connection with the killing of unarmed civilians on the Danziger Bridge in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina, federal law enforcement officials announced here on Tuesday

Four of the men — former Officer Robert Faulcon, Sgt. Kenneth Bowen, Sgt. Robert Gisevius and Officer Anthony Villavaso — were charged with federal civil rights violations in the killing of 17-year-old James Brissette and the wounding of four others, all members of the same family, when the officers came across a group on the bridge in eastern New Orleans and opened fire.

In addition, Mr. Faulcon, who was arrested Tuesday morning by F.B.I. agents in Fresno, Tex., was charged with shooting Ronald Madison, a 40-year-old man with severe mental disabilities, in the back, killing him, as he tried to flee.

All four of the men could face the death penalty.

Look, I am going to be straight with you all. I am all for rule of law. But what I am not for, is corruption and if these guys were killing innocent people; Then put these bastards under the jail. I realize that they are innocent until proven guilty and all that. But, I do hope that the truth comes out, and if it is true that these man abused their authority, then let the justice system do it’s job. This should be a lesson all Americans, especially those in New Orleans — that no matter what color you are, what social class you are, or whatever else; you break the law, you go to jail — just that simple.

Yum: Carl’s Jr. Testing a “Footlong Cheeseburger”

Posted on

Hoo-Boy! I’ll take one of these….: (Via HotAir Headlines)

Carl’s Jr. simply couldn’t sit still too long while KFC hopped into the sandwich game with their Double Down from days ago. It looks like they’re trying to make some waves with this new “Footlong Cheeseburger” they’re testing out at one of my local Santa Ana, CA, locations. The sandwich comes along with some chuckles, to say the least. It sells for $4 (the plain cheeseburger), and the deluxe is set at $4.50 (comes with all the fixings, lettuce, tomatoes, onions). The combo meals are set at $6.50 for the cheeseburger version and $7.00 for the deluxe footlong.

The 12-inch burger is wrapped like a sandwich, and sticks out of most of the to-go bags offered up at the location, so it was definitely an interesting sight. I’m not sure how well the burger will fair, it’s basically just a few patties and ingredients mimicking a sub sandwich, which may end up not helping its overall appeal. The dough on the bread seems a little off, but the execution of the entire sandwich still remains interesting and I’m intrigued to say the least. As for the patty, it actually consists of smaller individual patties, instead of one larger piece (which may have earned it some more “craziness points“). Maybe they will make some modifications if they decide to roll this burger out nationally. Until then, what do you guys think of the pictures, or if you’ve tried it yourself, please share your thoughts with us!

Liberal Idiot Talker Bill Press: Obama’s poll numbers are falling because of “Spoiled Americans”

Posted on1 Comment

Un-Farking-Believable!

This comes via The Radio Equalizer:

My friend and excellent blogger Mitch Berg over at Shot in the Dark, lays the smack down on Bill Press:

Bill Press:  Get a grip.

You think Ronald Reagan got carried to success on the shoulders of the entire American people right after his election; the media certainly sniped at him nonstep (then as now).

And yet he succeeded (not that you can tell that to people like Bill Press).

Competence helps.

Amen and Amen. The only person to blame for Obama’s piss poor poll numbers is his own damned self. I mean, the man outright LIED about Abortion not being in the Healthcare bill! What the hell does President Bambi Teleprompter expect? This is just a classic case of denial and spin by the left to deflect blame away from the fact that Barack Obama’s popularity is just not what it was, when he was elected. Plain and simple. The man did not deliver on anything, The Economy and Jobs, his handling of domestic terror threats, his handling of the oil spill; everything. The man just is not a leader, he is an intellectual and people want leadership; plain and simple.

Update: Once again, Ed Morrissey is spot on:

We’re spoiled? If Bill Press’ argument holds water, then who spoiled us? If the answer is George W. Bush, then perhaps that means that liberals will shortly revise their estimations of his presidency as the last Golden Age … right?

[…]

It comes as no shock to hear a liberal talk about the American public as “children” who need scolding. (It also doesn’t come as a shock to see that Bill Press doesn’t check the data on jobs before declaring that Obama has rescued them.) That’s the entire mindset of liberalism — that the masses can’t make their own decisions and need a cadre of elites to do it for them.

[…]

Expect to see more of the “ungovernable” argument as Obama continues to flop. We’ll hear it as an excuse for ever-increasing executive authority; we’ve already seen public paeans to authoritarian regimes by liberals like Thomas Friedman and Woody Allen, and we’ll likely see a lot more if the Republicans take control of the House in the fall.

I have to admit; I have not always agreed with Ed in the past, but he is spot farking on right here. That is the real sad part. Liberalism; back in the days of classic liberalism, was all about personal freedom and choice, before the big Government socialists took the liberal movement over. Now, it is all about nanny-state’ism and big Government; and when the American people reject that or reject the policies and performance of those big Government types, the elitists among the nanny state crowd accuse the common man of being spoiled and ungovernable. This is what always kills the Democratic Party’s chances of being reelected. They overreach and when they fail in that overreach; The Liberal Democrats will scowl and deride those who criticize them or reject their style of Government. This is one of the flaws of Big Government and socialism; it is made up of an elite class of overlords, that look down upon the common man and try to think for them; when those people reject their thinking, they scorn them. It has been that way for years and that is why Republicans always come to rescue and allow people to think for themselves.

Sweet: Lesbian Prison Gangs looking to get some of that LiLo Action

Posted on4 Comments

Awesome:

Inmates of the jail where Lindsay Lohan is set to spend up to 90 days have warned of gangs out to attack the starlet, saying “everyone will want a piece of her”, The Sun reported Tuesday.

Lindsay Lohan will leave her Hollywood pad next week and move into new digs at the Lynwood correctional facility in Los Angeles. But instead of wild showbiz parties and a plush double bed to curl up in afterwards, the actress will be locked up for 23 hours a day in a tiny cell with a rock-hard bunk and a single blanket.

Lohan’s A-list neighbors will be replaced with tough guards and fearsome lesbian gangs desperate to get their hands on her.

“The violation of Lindsay Lohan” has a cool ring to it.

First Lady Michelle Obama: America Still Unequal

Posted on2 Comments

This comes BreitBart.TV with a H/T to Riehl World View:

Yeah, she is going to keep fighting alright; fighting for the handouts to the lazy ass idiots who would rather get a handout, instead of getting a job and being a productive part of society. Her and her socialist twit hubby, would rather give handouts to their people; than get America back to work.

Also, she makes reference to “Her people”, yeah, the people who were brought to America as damned criminals. Criminals who were freed by a Republican named Abraham Lincoln — against the wishes of the people of the South. A freeing that also destroyed the economy of the South. A people who in 1964, by an unconstitutional act of Congress, were integrated in the south; again, against the will and wishes of the southern people.

…But yet, they are still not free. 🙄

Someone needs to tell Mrs. Bambi Bitch Teleprompter to get over it and that the slaves were freed and her people are free to roam the south as they wish.

Surprise: Voter Fraud involving felons in Al Franken election in MN

Posted on

Considering this little accusation here; should this be any sort of a shock to anyone?:

The six-month election recount that turned former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

That’s the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.

The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes — fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority’s newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.

Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been “stonewalled.”

Remember when I wrote about this dude before? Well, you think that was bad? Dig this new stuff, click the pic to head over and listen to it:

Click the pic to listen to the crazy!

I hate to sound like a bigot; but you know what my feelings are? Basically this: Eh, serves him right for taking the true account of the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ and making it into a Roman Catholic Church propaganda movie. Yes, I saw the “Passion” and I know what was in it. Pure Roman Catholic propaganda crap. I say that as a Fundamentalist Baptist and proud Protestant Christian. (although most Fundy Baptists don’t consider themselves Protestants.)

As I said before, stick a fork in him. He is done — and that my friends, might just be a good thing.

Surprise: Unions Violating Disclosure Rules

Posted on

(H/T Wizbang)

Warner Todd Huston over at Right Wing News takes a long hard look at the corruption in the unions and politics:

Of course unions have no fear of the federal government. No one there cares if unions act criminally or not. After all, these pols are getting millions in donations from these same unions that are lying on their disclosure forms. Apparently getting campaign contributions is far more important than holding these unions to the law.

But we need to remember one other thing that often gets lost in the mix when we are talking law breaking unions. The reason they have to disclose these lobbying activities in the first place is because government has gotten too big. If government was not involving itself in every aspect of our lives, lobbying would be far less necessary for unions, business or advocacy groups.

All these billions of dollars pumped into lobbying Congress is far more a fault of Congress taking on more than it legitimately belongs taking on than it is the fault of corrupt lobbyists, unions or no.

Cut out government and lobbyists go away. Cut out lobbyists and few disclosure reports will even be necessary.

But all that aside, we see how the federal government turns a blind eye to the corruption, lies and criminal neglect of disclosure rules perpetrated by their bag men in Big Labor. Even George W. Bush’s administration failed to hold unions to account and the Bushies were harder on Big Labor than any president in decades.
