I agree with Attorney General Eric Holder that the United States of America is a “nation of cowards” when it comes to honest dialogue about race.  I’m also proud enough to proclaim that this medium does not fall under the cowardly category.  And neither does this medium, or this medium.





How You Gonna Do It, Meg? Put Californa Itself Up On E-Bay?

17 02 2009

Meg Whitman, founder and former CEO of E-Bay, and an economic adviser to the McCain campaign last year, wants to be the next Governor of California.  She is promising to use her business experience at E-Bay to create two million new private sector jobs in the state by 2015.  Except that a state government and a dot-com business are not the same thing; E-Bay isn’t on the hook for billions of dollars in social welfare to illegal aliens and otherwise most of Mexico and Central America’s former population.

Didn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger tell us in 2003 that he was fit to solve the state’s fiscal problems because he once saw the books for the production budget of Terminator?  Now, California’s projected deficit is twice that of Missouri’s entire budget.

Let me help Miss Whitman with a little math.  California 2008 Presidential Election Results:  Obama 61%, McCain 38%.  I highly doubt that a 2010 iteration of California, which will be even more Mexican, will warm up to you much more than it warmed up to the man you advised last year.

That said, the winner of the Democrat Primary will be the next Governor.  All the buzz and hype is around San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, but he’s a one-city one-constituency (S.F., homosexuals) sideshow.  Of all the Democrats that are actually going to mount a serious effort, my bet would be on the state Superintendent of Public Instruction (a statewide elected office), Jack O’Connell.  A few years ago, he came out with a crack that white teachers are to blame for black and Hispanic educational failure.  Therefore, he’s pandering to all the right constituencies.  If Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa does not put his hat into the ring, O’Connell’s a shoo-in, I can ill imagine all those Chicano voters voting for some effeminate girly metrosexual (and probably homosexual) like Newsom.





Exculpatory — Based on Two Latin Words Meaning “Blame” and “Out”

17 02 2009

a-roid

I suppose if we’re to believe one Mr. Alexander Emmanuel RoidRiguez at his presser today at the Skankees spring facility in Tampa, during the time period of 2001 and 2003, he was just going along, pretty as you please, and one of his cousins snuck up on him while he was sleeping, lowered his drawers and injected some mystery substance from the Dominican Republic up his rump.  A substance which his cousin told him was a vitamin mix, which really turned out to be steroids.

If I had a cousin who did that to me, I’d cut him out of my will.  No Laffy Taffys for him.

I’m not buying it.  Spanish, as spoken in Latin America, is full of exculpatory words and phrases.  For instance, you don’t say that you dropped something, you say that it fell away from you.  That’s why I think A-Rod is trying to distract attention away from himself.  He comes from such a culture.  Aside from all the other reasons.

Also, A-Roid apologized for what (“it turns out that he”) did, calling himself “young and stupid” while he was taking (“what turned out to be”) steroids.  Of course, he was a wee lad of 28, you have to forgive his youthful impetulence.

Question:  How did this supposed cousin smuggle (what he knew to be) steroids in from the Dominican Republic?  He had to have passed through MIA, JFK or DFW while carrying the juice.  TSA, hello????  CBP/ICE, hello????  Surely, some agent somewhere in that alphabet soup would have popped anyone flying in from the DR with weird looking viles of liquid, vitamin or otherwise.  This is why I don’t think that this “stuff” was bought in from the DR, they were domestic illicit steroids.

Another question:  Mr. Rodriguez is a professional athlete of the highest caliber.  Are we really supposed to believe that he would be so insouciant about what was going into his body by way of a syringue during the peak years of his athletic life?  Are we supposed to think that he wouldn’t have been able to get a “vitamin mix” domestically without having to import it, that the Dominican vitamin industry is so much better than America’s?

Yeah, right.  You knew.  Quit obfuscating.





A Prediction I Didn’t Want to Come True

17 02 2009

philly-cop

Might be coming true.

I’ve had a feeling in my bones for several years that there would soon be semi-organized efforts among black thugs, perhaps those that have converted to Islam in prison, and perhaps with AQ/Ahmadinejad/Hamas/Hezbollah help in the background, to pick off and assassinate white cops in urban areas, one after another after another.  Both the black thugs and the AQ-types would both have something in it for them, the former would get the benefit of clearing away the one major hindrance to the illicit drug trade, and the latter would like to see a destabilized America, one where its Federal government has to devote more military resources internally and therefore fewer if any in the Middle East.

The reason why the black thugs wouldn’t want to take out black cops is out of racial loyalty, because they know that black cops are easier to corrupt and buy off, and that not bothering them would mean that the drug gang/AQ effort would have a built-in fifth column of support within the legitimate authorities.

Lo and Behold, Fox 29 Philadelphia:

Jailhouse Islam Behind Cop Killing?

PHILADELPHIA – The fact that Rasheed Scrugs allegedly announced he was going to kill a cop and then shot Philadelphia Police Officer John Pawlowski with a gun hidden inside his coat pocket has detectives digging deeper on Scrugs.

They’re still gathering evidence and trying to unravel why Friday night’s senseless murder happened, Fox 29′s Dave Schratwieser reported.

(snip)

Ramsey told Fox 29 News that police are now trying to determine if Scrugs — who also goes by the alias Rasheed Abdulghaffer — may have converted to a radical form of “jailhouse Islam” during his years in prison.

Ironically, Ramsey said he was briefed by FBI agents on Friday about this radical form of Islam. That was just hours before Pawlowski was shot.

Ramsey said there’s a growing concern among law enforcement.

“This is a radical form where certainly committing crime and killing police officers and so forth is part of it,” Ramsey said.

Police experts and the FBI are now researching whether Scrugs and Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski’ accused killers — Howard Cain and Levon Warner, who are accused of wearing Muslim clothing during that murder — were schooled in jailhouse Islam.

I don’t know if this cop killing is exactly what I fear is going to happen, but it certainly has three of the elements:  Black converts to Islam in prison, an ordered and premeditated assassination, and a white cop.  What we don’t know is if Mr. Scrugs/Abdulghaffer thought to kill a white cop at the outset, or just wanted to kill any cop and just happened to encounter a white cop first.  Also we do not know if Al Qaeda or any other organized group of terrorist boogie woogies from the Middle East had any direct hand.

If my theory has any flaws, in fact fatal flaws, it’s this — if there are actually such plans afoot, it won’t succeed as much as the conspirators want them to succeed.  Because if Osama bin Laden is thinking of using black American thugs as front-line soldiers in order to kill white cops and destabilize America, the fatal flaw is that they will be using black American thugs — notorious for their lack of patience and impulse control, and for their lack of intelligence, foresight and future planning, and also for their inability to engage in collusion.  This is why the AQ-types are relatively successful, because they’ll wait a thousand years to strike you with a pretty ingenious plan they hatched, and they’ll mostly avoid intranicene squabbling.  Could you really imagine some 17-year old ‘banger from the southside of Chicago getting all this training from AQ-types at secret Islamberg compounds dotted all around rural America, then going back to Chicago and doing anything but screwing his “duties” all up because of his character flaws because of his impetulence?  If they’re not distracted by trying to exact revenge on some other man who once moved in on a girl he once liked.  (Remember, the U.S. Armed Forces sniper corps uses mostly white men in their 30s for a reason, because they have enough life experience and intelligence to know how to be patient, enough testosterone to be aggressive enough to pull the trigger, but not so much testosterone, lower than they were 18, so that their impulses don’t trump their brains.)





It’s Not All In Our Minds or Obama’s Mouth

17 02 2009

CNBC:  This recession isn’t as bad as ’80-’82 because the unemployment stats aren’t as high and that President Obama is talking down the economy, making things seem (and eventually, be) worse than it is (and would be).

If they’re trying to win me with the bit about unemployment stats, they might as well give up.  Lew Rockwell recently blew that fish out of the water.

Then there is the matter of common sense.  Jobs that existed and were not lost during previous recessions of the conscious lifetimes of most people that read this blog are disappearing during this recession.

And I think it’s representative of not just the usual crest-and-nadir cycles of the economy, but of a more fundamental sea change — with the quickly decreasing cost of global communications in the last few decades, not to mention the perfidy and treachery of the free trade/open borders lobby, big corporations can put jobs that were once unmovable into Bangalore.  And if they can’t do that, they’ll move Bangalore here using H1B visas.

In other words, it was OK according to white collar workers if those blue collar jobs were moved to Mexico and China, because it affected “those” people — that was the sea change that the recessions of the mid-70s and early-80s represented.  Now that accountants could be had in the Philippines for one-tenth of what American ones expect to be paid, then the job will be done in the Philippines.  Now that a software developer can be H1Bed into Seattle from Mumbai for one-fifth of what an American one would want to be paid, you’re not going to be a software developer ever again.

And if a foreign conglomerate swoops in and buys the very business symbol of a city that stood for decades, because the fourth generation of that symbol thinks of their fathers’ and grandfathers’ and great-grandfathers’ creation as just one of their many toys that can be acquired and disposed of at will, thereby making many white collar managers redundant, and they lose their jobs, they’re not going to be middle managers anywhere ever again.

Those white-collar jobs are now lost forever, if not totally then to you.  This is one down that we won’t come up from, if there are no drastic changes in government and culture.

Russ Carnahan LOL (For a Hole In Your Roof or a Whole New Roof)

16 02 2009

A JeffCo roofing company has sued the three-term Congressman from South St. Louis for $17,000 in unpaid bills.

The Post is reporting it, but I’m not linking to it because it states the name of the judge who will preside over the suit.  However, I will say that he or she is a Bob Holden appointee, so it might be a slight turn of luck for the Carnster.  I can think of at least two other judges in the 22nd Circuit that I wish would have been given this case.

Failing that, the next best thing will be for the Republicans to retain control of the state House and Senate in 2010, as Missouri’s expected to lose a U.S. House seat when the dust clears from the ’10 Census.  That way, they can redistrict Compton Heights into the same district as Presidentville.

Former President Bill Clinton lit into Republicans Monday for being “automatic” in their opposition to President Barack Obama’s stimulus package.

“Those guys are on automatic,” Clinton said during an interview on CNN’s “American Morning.” “They have a — you know, you punch a button and they give you the answer they give you.”

Just like Bill pushes Monica’s button, and she’ll give him what he wants.  Call them ‘automatic’ intern-whore-mistresses.

Amazingly, Bill found a network that still shills for him, the Clinton News Network.  Most of the other ones have a new golden boy these days, National Barack Channel, American Barack Channel, Columbia Barack Service.

At some point before the end of his term, President Obama will make an issue of the high school dropout rate in the country in general and in big cities (read: blacks) in specific.  IIRC, the dropout rate is 25% for the former and over 50% in the latter.

Someone would do well to remind him at that juncture that the dropout rate from his own cabinet must be something like 30%.





Communist Party USA: Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter were “Right-Wing Extremists”

15 02 2009

CPUSA:

A New Era Begins

By Sam Webb, National Chair, CPUSA

(From a speech delivered at a Peoples Weekly World forum in Cleveland, Ohio, January 31, 2009)

I was standing on the Washington Mall on Inauguration Day, alongside nearly two million other people, and proudly watched the first African American take the oath of office in our nation’s history. That alone made the day deeply memorable, joyful, and historic. But I couldn’t help but think – and I’m sure that millions of others had the same thought – that the transfer of power from Bush to President Obama not only tore down a barrier that once was thought near impenetrable, but also signified the fading away of one era and the beginning of another.

It was hard not to think on that cold day in our nation’s capital that the worst of the past 30 years of right-wing extremist rule is behind us and that an era of progressive change is within reach, no longer an idle dream.

January 20, 2009 minus 30 years is January 20, 1979.  Among those who were President since then were Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Yahoo Sports:

At Miami, they’re still celebrating Rodriguez

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP)—Saying he had a responsibility to give back, Alex Rodriguez briefly addressed the drug scandal that has enveloped his life for the last week Friday night when Miami formally renamed its baseball field in his honor.

With his name affixed to the scoreboard in left field, Rodriguez—who was greeted by a 45-second standing ovation—spoke in public for the first time since acknowledging he took banned substances as a member of the Texas Rangers from 2001-2003.

Because A-Rod almost went to the University of Miami on a baseball scholarship (backing out just in time in order to play professionally), they named their diamond after him.  I almost went to the University of Chicago, I suppose this means that they should name their accounting department after me.

Now that A-Rod’s name adornes the U.’s baseball field, this probably means that the players’ lockers will all have secret booby hatches to hide the ‘Roids.

A Penny For Your Thoughts

13 02 2009

newpenny

How worthless is a penny these days?

* You can buy a whole house in Detroit for a penny a month.

* If someone gives you the figurative “penny for your thoughts,” you’ll probably be insulted — any thought of yours that’s only worth a penny means they think you’re retarded.

* Many people alive today still remember when the whole first class stamp used to be two cents.  In May, the price of the same stamp is going up by two cents.

* Many convenience stores used to have “penny candy.”  Now they have a bowl near the cash register where you can give and take pennies if you don’t have correct change.

* Once upon a time, if you saw a penny lying on the ground, you picked it up for good luck.  Now if you see a penny on the ground, it’s not worth the time and effort to pick it up.  The food you ate to give you the energy to pick the penny up costs more than a penny.

* It costs more than a penny to make a penny.

So, it pleases me to no end to know that the U.S. Mint is redesigning the useless coin on the 200th Birthday of the Old Reprobate who’s on the front.





KIPP Orphanage Comes to St. Louis

13 02 2009

KIPP “Academy” (really, orphanage) to open near St. Francis de Sales in South City soon. Before you get too excited, and before you flame me asking why I call it an orphange, read this post to American Renaissance from December 2007, by a poster named Jill:

Exactly! That’s what I think every time I read about some “miracle” after-school/summer school program that has managed to bring a select handful of poor blacks up to white standards through intensive remediation. Journalists and teachers rave about how they’ve finally found the key to educational equality, but never mention that the same effort applied to whites would have turned out college-level students and not just mediocre “average” students.

I read an article a year ago about an experimental charter school KIPP academy, I think, that had increased the test scores of poor black 6th & 7th graders close to white average levels. I wish I had saved the link, but I remember the article quite well because it made me want to throw my laptop across the room. The journalist proudly recounted their class schedule:

7am – full breakfast served to ALL students free of charge (thank you tax-payers!). Bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice, etc. No expense spared since the educators believed a heavy breakfast made the kids smarter.

7:30 – 2:30 – regular school day with intensive focus on basic skills in reading, writing, math and science. Class sizes were small and the school had strict discipline requirements with mandated class participation, uniforms, etc. Trouble makers were kicked back to the public school system. School provided free lunch, of course.

2:30 – 5:00 – mandated after school programs on campus. Worst students spent this time in one-on-one tutoring with teachers, better students did sports or art.

5:00 – school-provided dinner in the cafeteria. Yup, you read that right! The educators didn’t trust the parents to feed the kids, and wanted to keep them on campus all day.

Rest of the evening up to 8:30pm or so – SUPERVISED homework. All the kids had to sit at tables and do their homework under the watchful eyes of their teachers. The educators openly admitted that these kids would never do their homework if they weren’t forced to, and the parents wouldn’t make them do it either.

The kids in this school ate all meals at the school free of charge during the week and only went home to sleep at night. Last, but not least, was SATURDAY school!! A half-day of intensive one-on-one tutoring with teachers and community volunteers, and free breakfast and lunch of course!

The journalist admitted that this program was very expensive, but never mentioned that this program involved 3 to 4 times as much teaching time as a regular school. Plus, it was basically an orphanage without bedrooms.

Rather than tweaking standard public schooling, it merely proved that the only dependable way to “close the achievement gap” was spending 4 times as much time and effort, and to take parental duties away from their families and raise the kids under intensive care! Any yet, this was clearly supposed to inspire whites to dump more money into this educational boondoggle.

It’s Not a “Cottage” Industry, Because We’re Dealing With Prisons

13 02 2009

This might just be me, but is anyone else getting suspicious of the cottage industry of ex-cons (mostly black) who supposedly “turn their lives around” after getting out of prison, then make a living out of going around to other cons, juvenile and otherwise, and telling them how to do right by society?

If it were me, I would much rather want a non-felon to show me how to stay on the straight and narrow of society, rather than a felon.  After all, would you take flying lessons from a pilot with no accidents or the one with many accidents?  Then again, if it were me, I wouldn’t commit a felony to wind up incarcerated to begin with in order to be lectured by anyone, ex-con or not, on how to tow the line.





Grade-a-Mob

13 02 2009

Truman State University Index:

Students need day off to “Storm the Capital”

(snip)

That’s not to say a wide array of groups and organizations aren’t working to convince legislators and prepare the University for any eventual cuts, but the sense of cooperation from all the concerned groups isn’t as prevalent as it once was. Student Senate’s “Storm the Capital” event makes this apparent.

(snip)

“Storm the Capital,” scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25, poses a problem for potential participants who would be missing an entire day of class. If most students’ schedules are like mine, the prospect of missing a day of classes is hard to justify. Professors should discuss with their students how to work out a way for them to miss class in order to go to Jefferson City. Clearly the point of “Storm the Capital” is to make sure students have access to a high-quality education, so cancelling classes might be somewhat counterproductive, but making it clear to students that they won’t be missing test or quizzes and working out ways to allow students taking part in the event to make up work they miss could go a long way toward increasing attendance for the event.

So, some Truman State students want to “storm the Capital,” and they think their class schedule will be a hindrance?  Screw that — if they “storm the Capital” in the numbers that they want, it will be because some professor is behind it.

Politics are the province of the old, as a group.  While there are young people that are politically aware and active, on the whole, men and women of college age aren’t interested in politics, because they have other things on their mind, and they don’t have any hostages to fortune (as a generality).  To the extent that the young seem politically interested, it is to suck up to a professor.

Whenever masses of young people do something, there are old people behind it all.  Young men with guns storm a foreign city?  There’s an old man with five stars on his uniform involved.  Young people storm a building of government to beg for more education funding?  One of their professors put them up to it.

Vigorously Defending Its Position

12 02 2009

A former scholarship women’s basketball player at Central Michigan University is suing the school because she thinks the team’s head coach dismissed her from her scholarship did so because she (the player) didn’t bat for the home team.  The coach is firing back by saying that the player didn’t so any progress between her freshman and sophomore years.

And, with a case like this, a University spokesman could have avoided double entendres:

Central Michigan spokesman Steve Smith said the allegations have no merit, and the university will “vigorously defend its position in court.”

Stranger than that, the call letters of the TV station that has this story is WOOD.

Voyeurs

KVFS-12:

Teacher caught under bleachers with camera

MAYFIELD, KY (KFVS) – Police in Mayfield arrested a middle school teacher after he was seen under some bleachers allegedly photographing beneath cheerleaders’ skirts.

Steve L. McCuiston, 51, of Murray was charged with voyeurism, eavesdropping, disorderly conduct and evidence tampering.

Police arrested him at the Mayfield-Murray high school basketball game Monday night. Two parents and a teacher had restrained him after he ran.

They’ll pop him (as they should) for looking at the naughty places on teenage girls where he shouldn’t, but I would place some good odds that, assuming that this was a guy’s basketball game, that, under the pretense of “journalism,” some girl or woman reporter for the high school paper or the area’s mainstream media waltzed right into the locker rooms after the game, mainly to gawk at naked teenage boys.





A Tale of Three Bicentennials

11 02 2009

Pardon me.

AP/Obama whining about how there isn’t enough celebration of Adolph Lenin’s 200th Birthday in Occupied Dixie.  Yet, within the last two years, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis have had their 200th Birthdays — I don’t remember AP/Obama mentioning those bicentennials too much.  And when they did, it was with mild scorn.  Nor do I recall AP/Obama bashing Vermont and Minnesota for not celebrating them.
