RINO Danforth Endorses RINO McCain — What a Surprise

I just hope, after the local MSM wore the word “integrity” out of the dictionary after the passings of Paul Simon and Tom Eagleton, and it will have rejuvenated in time for Jack Danforth to kick off.

CW states that Danforth and McCain are political carbon copies. I slightly disagree — I think they wound up at the same juncture, but Danforth always was a liberal Republican and governed that way as Missouri Attorney General and then U.S. Senator. McCain started out fairly conservative, but read the beltway tea leaves, sucked up, and thus has been the news media’s favorite Republican since the late 1990s.

Interestingly, Danforth, Kit Bond and John Ashcroft, who are sorta linked at the hip politically speaking in terms of their ascendancy (if not ideology), don’t seem to have the same Presidential preference. Danforth’s for McCain, Bond was for Giuliani, and I don’t know who Ashcroft is for.

What Happened To All That Black-Muslim Solidarity?

WCCO-CBS-4 Minneapolis:

A taxi cab driver was attacked by a passenger in North Minneapolis early Thursday morning.

A dispatcher with Blue and White Taxi says Mohammed Farahid was attacked around 12:15 a.m. Farahid was robbed by a male passenger who then hit the driver with an hatchet.

The dispatcher says Farahid had fled his cab, fallen down and broken his hand when he was attacked. He was able to call for help.

Police said they were called to 24th Street and Colfax Avenue North, and said Farahid and the passenger had gotten into an argument before the attack.

The suspect, described by police as a black man in his late 20s, fled the scene.

Tweedlelib and Tweedlelibber

Why can’t Mitt Romney unify the right and the anti-McCain constituency behind him?

Two reasons:

(1)  His record has a lot of liberalism and flip-flopping.  What sense does it make to buck a liberal and flip-flopper by backing another liberal and flip-flopper?

(2)  I was hoping that this mentality was behind us, but evidently it’s not — the M-word is hurting him, and that being his Mormon faith.  There was a woman from Pennsylvania that called Rush today, who said that she wouldn’t vote for a Mormon “because of their weird anti-Christian beliefs,” but McCain’s apparent ascendancy has forced her into the MR camp.  I’m just wondering that, for every one of her, there aren’t ten others who won’t vote for a Mormon come hades or high water.

Everything About David Beckham Is Too Late

UKDM:

David Beckham wears his new tattooed art – on his forearm

David Beckham’s dream of emulating the body-covering tattoo art of Prison Break character Michael Scofield appears to be taking shape.

The footballer unveiled a new addition to his body-covering art – reported to be his 11th – as he enjoyed a kickabout on a sun-kissed beach in Brazil.

The intricate new star studded design which extends the length of his left forearm is wrapped around an existing Hindi inscription of wife Victoria’s name.

Apparently, David is a fan of hit US show Prison Break, and character Scofield’s upper-body is completely covered in a tattooed design.

And judging from this latest inking, David is keen to do the same.

Too bad that The Tat hasn’t been relevant to the storyline of PB since early last season.  Of course, what can you say about a man who thinks he can become a superstar athlete in America in a sport that Americans don’t care about, at a time when his skills are degrading.

The 44th President of the United States

Tonight’s vote in Florida further cements my prediction of three weeks ago. If Obama can’t even get close in a state like Florida, and the polls have him way behind here in Missouri for next Tuesday, he might as well pack it up. This makes me wonder if the Kennedy family’s Obamagasm wasn’t, as Michael Savage theorized, a br’er rabbit scam to make HRC appear more moderate.

Since McNumbnuts won Florida, and he’s ahead in many Super Tuesday states (including Missouri), he has just about won the Republican nomination.

So, in McCain vs HRC in the summer and fall, we’ll finally hear the truth about McCain’s POW perfidy, his relationship with the Keating Five, his hot temper, the risk that he would launch a nuclear bomb for no plausible reason; plain words, the same media that launched him will turn right around and fly him into the ground.   Because most of the right-wingers (like me) won’t give him the time of day, and won’t vote for either one in November, she’ll win at least 40 to 45 states. In fact, it’s more likely that the whole map will be blue than McCain actually winning. The only shame of the matter is that there will be some straight-arrow Republicans running for lesser offices that will lose that would otherwise win, and they’ll lose simply because that thing will be at the top of their party’s ticket.

And as I have stated before, I would rather her than a liberal Republican win. They’ll both do the same things as President, (except I trust her with the Big Red Buttons a lot more than him), but with a Democrat doing those liberal things, we’ll finally have a right-wing resistance from Republicans in Congress and from the grass roots once again. CofCC membership would skyrocket with HRC as President.

Most of President Bush’s liberal proposals would have been shot down by Republicans in Congress if Al Gore would have won and made them. And we would have no war in Iraq, and none of its negative consequences.

If You Don’t Like the Weather in St. Louis, Just Wait a Minute

Blogmeister Echo Syndrome

(1)  Usually, Rush Limbaugh is the one being echoed.  But yesterday, he parroted my opinion, that if the Presidential race is between a liberal Republican like McCain or Huckbaee and HRC, he would rather see HRC win, because liberal Republican Presidents, like the one we currently have (Rush’s admission), put conservative Republicans in Congress in a Catch-22 — they don’t want to vote for his liberal proposals (e.g. NCLB, amnesty), but they also can’t go against their party’s President, either.

This might sound goofy to say, but I think this country would be more right wing if Al Gore would have become President.

With a Democrat as President, we might actually have a right-wing in Congress again, Rush says.  I should also add that with a Democrat as President, we might actually have an organized right-wing in the country again.

(2)  PJB states what I did on Saturday night after the Obama victory in SC — that which propelled him to a big victory there will also mean that he wins the Deep South, but flunks out everywhere else and ultimately loses to HRC.

So What?

The MSM keep going on as if The Endorsement bestows the so-called “Magic of Camelot” onto Obama.

What magic? Only one Kennedy ever was President, won that barely, and with the help of mob cheating, and he didn’t even finish one term, no fault of his own. Had he lived, fill-in-the-blank Republican would have trounced him in 1964. JFK’s being knocked off was the best thing that ever happened to that family, and for the controversial ideas (e.g. civil rights) he advocated.

In fact, the juxtaposition of the Kennedys and Camelot didn’t start until just after JFK was knocked off — Jackie planted a story about the two of them listening to a “Camelot” record to a friendly reporter, and it took off from there.

Both Bobby and Teddy relied on their brother for their start; Bobby never saw the inside of a live courtroom when he became USAG, and everybody knows that Teddy’s first run for Senate in 1962 would have been a punchline if not for his last name, and that Chappaquiddick would have ended his career in 1969 if not for the name.

And behind all of that was the fortune of a Nazi-sympathizing stock market shyster and a bootlegger.

If anybody needs anybody, the Kennedys need Obama, and they need him to win, or at least stop HRC. In spite of the truth, the Kennedys are considered the Democrat Party’s royal family, and if HRC becomes President, that will instantly give the Clintons a far greater claim to being a D-party Presidential dynasty, and with Ugly Betty runnin’ around the country (including her stop in St. Louis today) on behalf of her mother, this means that the Clintons would replace the Kennedys as the prominent family in the party.

Take a Number, Jeremiah

BHO’s extremist church’s extremist preacher gets something right.  After all, a broken clock is right twice a day:

Sen. Barack Obama’s longtime friend and spiritual adviser trashed the memory of a missing and presumed dead American teenage girl, according to church publications reviewed by WND.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the controversial minister of Obama’s church in Chicago, cited the case of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance in Aruba in complaining about what he sees as the media’s bias in covering white victims of crime over black victims.

“Black women are being raped daily in Darfur, Sudan, in the Congo and in Sub-Saharan Africa. That doesn’t make news,” Wright said in the August 2005 edition of Trumpet Magazine, a publication of his Trinity United Church of Christ.

But, “One 18-year-old white girl from Alabama gets drunk on a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and ‘gives it up’ while in a foreign country, and that stays in the news for months!” he added. “Maybe I am missing something!”

No, you’re not missing anything.  Plastering photos of young white blondes drives up the ratings.  After all, that’s what they call the news.  If they tried this with most black women, the only ratings that would drive upward would be those of infomercials.

But as usual, the extremist strikes out:

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” he wrote on page 7. “White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared,’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.”

Yep, I bet Mohammed Atta and eighteen of his good friends were obsessing over America’s black policies as they were planning to melt themselves into the structure of the World Trade Center towers.

Pentagon Takes My Advice

El Paso Times:

Soldiers can’t visit Juárez

Travel to Juárez has been declared off-limits for U.S. military personnel, Fort Bliss officials announced Saturday in the wake of a rash of drug-related violence that is now taking a toll on both sides of the border.

A Fort Bliss official said Saturday that an unacceptable risk to the health, safety, welfare and morale to military personnel prompted the decision to temporarily discontinue issuing passes to soldiers who want to travel to Juárez.

“This is only for a short term until things settle down and there’s no perceived danger to any soldier or anyone going to Juárez,” Fort Bliss spokeswoman Jean Offutt said. “I think it’s just based on the events that are going on in Juárez at this time.”

“No perceived danger?”  Then why is Juarez off-limits?

Actually, the Pentagon is right.  All Americans should make all of Mexico off-limits for the same reason.

At this rate, the only place where RSOs won’t be restricted from being too close will be state prisons.  And I think that’s the point.

Every Direct Descendant of Joseph P. Kennedy Has an Obamagasm

So it seems. Both Caroline and Ted Kennedy came out for BHO today.

Caroline, daughter of JFK, said that Obama would be “a President like my father.” Of course, since BHO, like JFK before him, is fond of empty platitudes, she’s not far off the mark. However, unlike the woman who would later be known as Jackie O, Michelle O probably has no worries that her husband will stray, or have creative uses for cigars.

As for the lush, it is reported that he swung “Osama Obama’s” way because he thought the Clintons, especially Bill, were being shrill in their campaigning and their Obama strategery. Only now do the tactics of Clinton, Inc. bother him — he must not remember the 1990s at all.

I also think the Kennedys’ collective Obamagasm has ulterior and Machiavellian motives — they probably don’t want the Clintons to dislodge them as the Democrat Party’s “royal court.”

From the Mind of Someone from the Wrong Side of That Line

Fox News:

Son of Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius Designs Raunchy Prison-Themed Board Game

TOPEKA, Kan.  —  The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father … Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”

Yes, only someone with strong links to Kansas would dream up something that stupid.  And only someone who winds up to win two terms as Chief Executive of Stupid, Inc. would be proud of such a thing and their spawn that created it.

John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the Web site lists the address of the governor’s mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.

The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.

That did it.  Anything you can get only in Topeka and Lawrence might as well be buried under Yucca Mountain.

The site describes, “Don’t Drop the Soap” as a game “Where no one playing enters through the front door!”

“Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole,” the site says. “Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower Room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole.”

It doesn’t surprise me that the goofy son of a goofy Democrat governor of a goofy state would insult white people.  But with the growth of the Hispanic population in Kansas, I’m surprised he took a swipe at the Latin Kings.  Curiously, so it seems, goofball doesn’t parody any black prison gangs or the Nation of Islam.

The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using ‘Wheelz,” muscle-flexing “Anferny” and business suit-clad “Sal ‘the Butcher.”‘

Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan on his own to pay for the production of his work.

“This game is intended for mature audiences — not children — and is simply intended for entertainment,” Corcoran said.

For “mature audiences” only?  That means it can’t be sold in most of the eastern one-third of Kansas.  And that’s too bad, because if you lose this game, some chatterbox would scream out, “Rock Chalk Chickenhawk.  You Lose!!”

There is controversy about him running his business from the Kansas Governor’s Mansion, and his resume on his personal website still lists his address thereof, with the zip code 66606.  How quintessentially Kansas.

In case you’re curious…

South Carolina Democrats Have an Obamagasm

His margin of victory was provided by black voters and non-blacks (nearly all white) under 30. In fact, the non-blacks U-30 voted in proportions that nearly match the overall vote. See CNN’s exit poll.

HRC did best among middle-aged and elderly whites, while Breck Girl’s strength was younger middle-aged whites.

Edwards says he’s not dropping out. And he better not if he thinks he will be in the Cabinet of an Obama administration, because BHO needs the Breck Girl to stay in as long as possible, to draw votes away from HRC. Even if he drops out now and endorses BHO, that’s not where most of his votes would go.

However, if these demographic numbers are indicative of how it is nationwide, it still looks good for HRC.  If Obama’s hope is blacks and young whites, that won’t get him very far outside the Deep South.

Some Boys Will Be Boys

World Net Daily has this article detailing the challenges that one Migdia Chinea, a teacher in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), experiences in her profession.  Most of the article deals with the paltry disability and workers comp insurance policy that the LAUSD has, and how getting money from it is harder than interrogating a Taliban, but this paragraph is instructive:

“On Oct. 5, 2007, at another notorious middle school, I was deliberately body-slammed on the head by two to three large young men in a P.E. class of 53 students, while another teacher (someone I had never met before) was decent enough to give a formal declaration to school and police authorities of what he had witnessed. I sustained a concussion and sciatica nerve damage as a result of this personal attack intended to ‘terrorize [me].’ I have memory lapses and continued head and leg pain. I’m told by the local police that this sort of physical abuse on teachers occurs with disturbing regularity. The LAUSD case nurse assigned to my case labeled my attack ‘boys will be boys.’” she wrote.

Two reactions:

(1)  Using the liberal logic about guns and firearms, and the U.S. Armed Forces in general, then they should prohibit physical education, because it gives young men the training and tools to be able to body-slam teachers.  Let’s just call this a “gym crime.”

(2)  “Boys will be boys?”  Remember, most other public schools and nurses therein will chomp at the bit to drug a boy that shows any hint of positive masculinity with Ritalin.  Somehow, the LAUSD doesn’t apply that logic here.  Answer?  Race.  Don’t want to sully your discipline stats by actually punishing black or Hispanic students for viciously assaulting a woman teacher.
