NYT: Mark Steyn Was Right

NYT, on the recent success of European lamestream conservative parties:

Some American conservatives demonize President Obama’s fiscal stimulus and health care overhaul as a dangerous turn toward European-style Socialism — but it is Europe’s right, not left, that is setting its political agenda.

Europe’s center-right parties have embraced many ideas of the left: generous welfare benefits, nationalized health care, sharp restrictions on carbon emissions, the ceding of some sovereignty to the European Union. But they have won votes by promising to deliver more efficiently than the left, while working to lower taxes, improve financial regulation, and grapple with aging populations.

This is one of many reasons why Mark Steyn opposes ObamaCare.  It will forever change American conservatism, and inevitably push it to the left.  As you can read above, “conservatism” in the European parlance means that you think the left-wing system should be more efficient.  (This isn’t new.  Margaret Thatcher, while she campaigned for the Tories in 1979, their eventual victory making her Prime Minister, flat out said that she wouldn’t drastically dismantle the welfare system, only make it more “efficient,” whatever the hell that means.)  On the other hand, this leaves the field open in Europe for nationalist parties to claim the mantle of the real right-wing opposition, but electorally and ideologically.

Brother Can You Spare a Dime?

The Second Great Depression has gotten so bad that many panhandlers really need the money, for legitimate expenses like utility bills and food, and many other non-alcoholic things.  As a result, Raleigh, N.C. is handing out panhandling permits to those whose needs are real (i.e. non-alcoholic) and aren’t intrusive or obstructive in their begging.

NC voted Obama, Raleigh being the epicenter of North Carolina’s Obamagasm.  How’s all that hope and change working out for ya?

It’s About Time

Is Cold Case on the way out at The Tiffany?

It seems that way.

Part of CC’s problem is that CBS keeps fucking around with its time slot.  When it debuted, and for most it of its run, it was on at 8/7c, and therefore most people could watch it even if they had to hit the hay early.  Last season and the one before that, they moved it to 9/8c.  Now, it’s 10/9c.  Football usually runs past 7 PM Eastern, 6 PM Central, and assuming a half hour overage, which is typical, that means that people in the Eastern time zone won’t see CC come on until 10:30.

Save Cold Case, move it back to 8/7.

Look Ma!

Guess who’s conservative all of a sudden, with his cracker jack little ACORN/SEIU chart.

That’s right, Mark Kirk.  The same Mark Kirk who couldn’t be bothered to say boo about ACORN and SEIU before now.

I think he figures that if he wants to be a U.S. Senator, he needs to win the Republican primary next March.  He will need Republicans from south of Joliet to vote for him, so we gotta put on a play act.

Sorry.  I’m not bitin’.

Raising Heller

SCOTUS gives Cert to a matter out of Chicagograd that is very similar to Heller, with a decision expected in June of next year.

MSM are trying to draw a distinction between this case, McDonald v Chicago, and the Heller case.  They say that Heller isn’t a precedent germane to McDonald because Heller was in a Federal district while McDonald was in a state, a rehash of the “states rights” precepts of the 10th Amendment vs the “incorporation doctrine” of the 14th Amendment debate that’s been going on for decades.

The reason this reasoning doesn’t fly is because Scalia’s singular majority opinion finding for Heller didn’t use the Federal district reasoning at all.  As a matter of fact, I was fearful that SCOTUS was going to weasel out of a major precedent-setting decision by finding for Heller and using the Federal district as the sole reason.  The late Rhenquist and early Roberts court was loath to make any big decision, and Heller was the first real big decision from SCOTUS in quite a long time.  Scalia relied only on the 2nd Amendment to find for Heller, and added that the part of 2 that speaks of “militia” and “free state” is, in Scalia’s exact word, “perfatory,” or in other words, a preface.  All it means is that it is one possible purpose of the real germane part of 2, the part about “the right of free people to keep and bear arms.”  There could be many other purposes.  And the perfatory clause of 2 is no more relevant to the restrictions set by the germane clause of 2 than the Preface to the Constitution is to the operation of the Federal government in general.  All the glittering generalities that the Preamble lists are reasons (but not the only reasons) why the Constitution was established, and says what it says, but it doesn’t mean that those glittering generalities are a responsibility of government.

That said, Heller should be precedent for McDonald.  But it might not be.  One word:  Sotomayor.  All the jurisdictions that were running afoul of Heller drug their heels to comply, because they were waiting for the results of the 2008 elections, and hoping for an Obama win.  (By the time Heller was decided, Obama had already dispatched HRC.)  They probably would have complied if McCain would have won, but they wanted Obama and his judicial appointments.  Heller was a good decision, but SCOTUS should have backed it up with a consent decree on D.C.  That would have scared Chicago and other cities to comply, even if it were only for a few months.

McDonald will put the left in a conundrum.  If SCOTUS finds for Chicago, then it’s doing what the libs want, and knocking back 2, but bolstering 10 and spiting 14 in the process, which the libs don’t want.  If they find for McDonald, they’ll be supporting 2, which the libs don’t want, but spiting 10 and bolstering 14, which the libs want.

He’s Qualified

The St. Louis FBI office has a new leader.  In fact, he used to be in charge of the St. Louis division.

The reason we just had to bring him back is that he had an office at the top floor of the St. Louis FBI building when Michael Devlin was arrested, and he evidently attended the law enforcement war room that came about when Baby Abby was kidnapped.  He also wrote a couple of papers as a young man.  I could also add that the mother of a six-year old boy in South County was right there at his soccer game with a tube of ointment that she could rub it on any boo-boos he might have gotten during the game, and since the person in question was the head of the FBI at St. Louis when the boo-boos happened, he’s the reason why everything was a-ok.

But he is otherwise qualified for the job; I digress.  Hint:  Don’t read the words.

Why Can’t Limey Read? (Only Applicable For Limeys Whose Parents Vote BNP)

The very same racial minorities that screwed up the British public school system so badly that whites don’t do as well as they used to (hint:  any idiot can jump over a bar lowered so far that everyone can flop over it, especially if those who couldn’t flop over it before had something taboo in common), are now gathering in Birmingham (hint:  not Alabama) to figure out what to do about it.

The reason they’re confabbing is NOT because they have any sort of altruistic concern about whites, especially boys.  No, the reason is that the parents of such white boys vote BNP.

AFAIC, there’s your solution right there if you want to improve education for whites.

Roman Polanski vs Warren Jeffs

Both are known for their, shall we say, employment of underaged girls.  So why do the media hate Warren Jeffs and make excuses for, if not praise, Roman Polanski?  I can’t make rhyme or reason out of this, the only thing I can come up with is that fundamentalist Mormons are likely to vote Republican while Polanski might be left-of-center in his politics.  I get the feeling that it might be even simpler than that.

UPDATE 9/30: Here’s another example:  Kevin Jennings’s questionable behavior vis-a-vis a teenage boy versus Mark Foley’s questionable behavior vis-a-vis a teenage boy.  The MSM (no pun intended here) almost excuse Jennings, while they had the “dirt” on Foley for about two years until they decided to run with it, just in time for the midterm elections of 2006, so as to disengage Christian conservative voters from the Republican Party.  In Jennings’s case, we don’t know if there was actually any sex; we do know that there was no sex in Foley’s matter; all he did was to give advice to a young man on how to jerk off.  The very same libs who had a field day with Foley would have no problem with this sort of thing being part of public school curricula.  And for students much younger than 17, I might add.

ESR might have an answer to my question.  He thinks that the Hollyweirdos are coming out for Polanski as a matter of “There but for the Grace of God go I.”  In other words, they’re creating an “out” for their own selves, because some of them might have, or think they might have it in them, to have sex with a 13-year old.

The Problems of Alexander County, Illinois

They keep saying that it has to do with money.

It might well, but the money problems have roots in a long string of black hate crimes and racism against whites in Cairo, in the 1970s.  In other words, Cairo was mugabeized.  Cairo was once thought of as a potential competitor to St. Louis, as it is right at the junction of two major rivers.  And it was fairly prosperous until the 1970s.  During the “Great Migration” of blacks out of Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana between the World Wars, most went to Chicago but some settled for St. Louis or East St. Louis, Cairo was a fairly attractive destination for some of the “migrators” because it was both in the river delta, physiographically like the places they left, but it was also in the welfare generous state of Illinois.  In other words, they got Chicago’s welfare and Mississippi’s climate, what they thought was the best of both worlds.

Perhaps Good News for the BNP

Gordon Clown and his Labour Party are down to third in the polls, behind the Tories in first and the Liberal Democrats in second.  In spite of that, Clown says “Don’t Stop Belevin’.“  The trouble is now they’ve got to pass two horses to turn believing into seeing.  And these are elections, not a way overused Journey song.

If it becomes obvious that Clown is out and David Cameron is in, this will free up BNP sympathists who lean toward either the Tories or Labour to vote for the BNP, and this just might be enough to get the BNP some Members of Parliament.

Tuft Luck

This one is so full of double entendres.  I bet they were deliberate.

Boston Herald:

Tufts University bans nookie if roomie ‘is present’

Dorm rooms doubling as steamy love huts have Tufts University throwing cold water on sex on campus – at least when horny students let it all hang out in front of red-faced roommates.

“You may not engage in sexual activity while your roommate is present in the room,” tuts Tufts’ 2009-10 guest policy, newly revised in response to student gripes about rambunctious roomies and their raunchy romps.

Tufts spokeswoman Kim Thurler told the Herald the 8,500-student school has fielded roughly a dozen complaints from chagrined scholars “who expressed concerns that they were experiencing uncomfortable situations” with their roommates’ sex-tracurricular activities.

“We really didn’t have anything concrete in place for (them) to set clear boundaries,” she said.

But miffed collegians at the school’s Medford campus told the Herald they are quite capable of managing their own affairs, thank you very much.

(snip)

While the rules lay out no consequences for making whoopie within eyeshot of others, Thurler hopes the policy will “empower” students to “bring that issue up” with their randy roomie.

“Uncomfortable situations,” “concrete in place,” “clear (as in condom) boundaries,” “managing your own affairs.”  This newspaper is just too much :)

Question:  What if the sex is with your roommate?  This is Massachusetts (“Almost Sodom, Massachusetts…”), you have to assume that this dilemma will (pardon the pun) pop up.

And yes, if you ask, I was sexiled a few times during my college years.

Iran Has No Right to Nuclear Technology

(snip)

As long as Iran is ruled by Khomenei’s doctrine, however, this confidence can never exist. Tomorrow’s talks will only encourage Tehran to continue feigning “trustworthiness.” The refusal to acknowledge this reality could lead to a dangerous compromise—one that would allow Iranian uranium enrichment as long as Tehran permits U.N. monitoring.

This would be a recipe for disaster. Allowing a theocratic regime dreaming of religious war to obtain nuclear weapons is a threat to humanity. It can neither be defused by the NPT provisions nor by continuing piecemeal sanctions. Short of a military strike, the only alternative is to make full use of Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter. In order to confront threats to peace, it suggests in article 41 the “complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations.” The time for “dialogue as usual” is over.

I don’t necessarily agree, because I think there is a distinction and a difference between “Iran” and its current theocratic/Khomeneiite regime.  On the one hand, it is the height of arrogance for three countries, the USA, the UK and Israel, with thousands upon thousands of nuclear weapons between them, and the closest of those three to Iran having several hundred, to tell Iran that they can’t even have one.  But, Ahmadinejad and his analogues don’t grok MAD.  Or maybe they do grok MAD but are such religious fanatics that they don’t care if they’re all incinerated just as long as some of the infidels are; after all, Allah will give every one of them 72 virgins apiece up in Allahland.   You know how that goes, Mahmoud’s elevator doesn’t quite go all the way up to the top.

The best thing to do now is try to drive a wedge between Iranians and their current rulers.  Stipulating that Iran having nukes is ok as long as the country is run by either moderates or secular dictators is the way to do it.

Separate the Whites from the Coloreds

This article from the Southern Illinoisan really rings a bell with me.

About a week after I moved into the dorms for my freshman year of college, I had to do my first load of laundry.  Luckily, I knew how to do laundry, since my mother taught me the intracacies at the age of 14, maybe sooner.  I suppose some of the people on my floor saw me taking dirty clothes down to the laundry room, and clean dry clothes back up, for a week and a day after I moved into the dorms for my freshman year of college, I had eight people, all of them new freshmen, evenly divided between genders, and all white, ask me how to do laundry.

I showed them how, for a nominal fee.  There was my pizza money for the first semester :)

Hate Crime in Southern Illinois (This Time, They Did Look and Did Find)

Southern Illinoisan:

SESSER – Four men are in Franklin County Jail today after a weekend fight that police say was racially motivated.

Joshua W. Szczeblewski, 28 and Nathan R. Loucks, 23, both of Mulkeytown, and Aaron J. Parker and Shawn D. Parker, 28, both of Sesser, were charged with mob action and hate crime, Sesser Police Chief Rob Barrett said.

Sesser police were called to the 100 block of South Locust Street late Saturday night where the four men, allegedly highly intoxicated, were discovered allegedly yelling racial slurs, Barrett said. The racially charged language was allegedly directed toward Hispanic residents in the neighborhood.

(snip)

Barrett said he will seek assistance from hate crime units with the state police and FBI because of recent racial tensions in the Franklin County town.

“This is unchartered territory for me and my staff and they have investigative units designed to deal with things like this,” Barrett said. “Ninety-nine percent of the people in Sesser are very good people but you have 1 percent who are idiots that do things that embarrass the rest of us. That’s a fact.”

Now, you see, Bob Haida?  When you actually look for evidence of hate where you think it might be, gosh darn you just might find it.  You might have been able to invite the FBI into Belleville to help out, though since the FBI’s bosses are Eric Holder and Barack Obama, don’t hold your breath.

Liberals seek health-care access for illegals

(snip)

“Legal permanent residents should be able to purchase their plans, and they should also be eligible for subsidies if they need it. Undocumented, if they can afford it, should be able to buy their own private plans. It keeps them out of the emergency room,” said Rep. Michael M. Honda, California Democrat and chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

How can illegal aliens afford private insurance?  I don’t think Mr. Honda is thinking about Jose who just swam across the Rio Grande.  Hint:  He’s the Chairman of the Asian Pacific Islander Caucus.  He is thinking about well-to-do “undocumented” Asians.

Of course, since “comprehensive immigration reform” is up around the bend, all the “undocumented” aliens will become “legal permanent residents,” and therefore eligible for HondaCare.  Read the stitches on the fastball.

ESR Misses the Mark, Slightly

Eric S. Raymond:

Mighty aches from little ACORN’s fall

In all the foofaraw surrounding the ACORN scandals, there is a huge important consequence of them understood – but not spoken – by everyone who follows politics as a blood sport. This story describing conditions in Michigan and tallying up some recent ACORN convictions for electoral fraud is an indicator. And, on top of Obama’s plummet in the polls, the attention now being focused on ACORN has got to have any thinking Democratic strategist deeply worried about the 2010 midterms.

No, I’m not talking about the mere aura of scandal, the prospect that some of the smell coming off of ACORN might cling to the general run of Democratic politicians. That’s not going to happen, not while most of the mainstream media seems ever more intent on operating as an unpaid auxiliary for the Democratic National Committee. No stench will be allowed to adhere, not even if the stalwart partisans of the Fourth Estate have to lick it off with their own tongues. No, the real problem is this: ACORN was the linchpin of the Democratic electoral-fraud machine. Without it, the party’s position going into the next round of elections may be seriously weakened.

Three years ago I wrote a mini-essay on Game Theory and Vote Fraud, explaining the psephological logic behind the observed fact that vote fraud is in recent U.S. history primarily a crime associated with urban Democratic political machines; simple risk-benefit analysis explains why a national minority party operating in densely populated districts should be the most likely to systematize the practice. What I didn’t write at the time (but could have, as the fact was quite well known to anyone who pays attention to retail politics) is that ACORN has long been the Democrats’ single most important source for legions of deniable fraudsters.

“Primarily a crime associated with urban Democratic political machines.”  I could have compressed all of this into a few words:  Blacks and Hispanics cheat.  At least three million illegal aliens voted in the November 2000 Presidential election.  And black voter fraud, you already know about.  New Hampshire’s lenient “same day voter registration” has already resulted in MassaKookians crossing over and affecting the outcome of a swing state.

The other problem is that the legal disruptions to the Democrats’ street-level network may not stop with ACORN. It is becoming clear that SEIU (the Service Employees International Union, closely tied to ACORN by interlocking directorates), is just as corrupt and even more prone to public thuggery (this was the organization responsible for the brutal beating of an elderly black protester at a town-hall meeting a few weeks back). If LEOs follow the money trails into and out of ACORN with any thoroughness, it is quite likely that SEIU’s brass will find itself under criminal investigation, with the Democrats obliged to cut ties with them as well. From there, who knows? Republican zealots think that ACORN is the street end of a criminal conspiracy subject to prosecution under the RICO statutes that extends all the way to DNC headquarters. They may not be wrong.

The problem with that is that you’re going to need a very hard right wing President with very hard right wing U.S. Attorneys to get them all up in the sling.  The Democrats certainly won’t prosecute, and most Republicans would rather die a death by a million knives than face the accusations of racism that will surely come from prosecuting mostly minority groups like ACORN and SEIU.  Do you see a very hard right wing politician anywhere at present with credible Presidential chops?  Nope.

That said, I know what will work to prevent future voter fraud.

CNS:

Study: Fewer Terrorism Suspects Going to Trial

Washington (AP) – The government is prosecuting only about one out of four of those charged in connection with terrorism, according to a study that suggests federal agencies don’t agree on who is a terrorist.

People charged with terrorism often go free because the evidence wasn’t strong enough to bring them to trial, says the study by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a data research group at Syracuse University.

Since 2002, the percentage of terrorism cases that federal prosecutors declined to pursue has grown from 31 percent to 73 percent, the TRAC study found.

Nearly 6,000 of the close to 8,900 cases referred for prosecution by federal investigators between 2004 and 2008 were closed without action. Of the remaining cases, 2,302 people were convicted and 1,245 went to prison, the study found, and just 52 were sentenced to 20 years or more.

According to the data, U.S. attorneys reported that the cases brought to them by investigators were often based on weak or insufficient admissible evidence, lacked criminal intent or did not constitute a federal offense.

I have a theory — many of these “terrorism” cases only happen as a result of some undercover FBI agent or informant supplying a “terror suspect” something that “they think” is a bomb.  In other words, the Alphabet Gang is doing to parts of the terroristical boogie woogie crowd what they have been doing with the hard right wing for years — provocation and shit disturbing, in order to justify their budget.

Many of the cases that make it are also not worth their salt.  Like the “Liberty City Seven” for example.  How is it possible to have a serious terrorist conspiracy to blow up the Sears Tower when you don’t even know what city the Sears Tower is in?  The LC7 were nothing more than a bunch of dumb black/Haitian dope dealers that got entrapped into a non-conspiracy.

But when the actual bombs and terrorist plots come, Federal law enforcement is caught butt naked.

Priorties

In spite of talking to the Commanding General in Afghanistan only once in the last 70 days, the Obama Administration has bigger priorities.  The President, the First Lady, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and Transportation Secretary Ray LaWhiteHood are hoofing it to Copenhagen, Denmark to make the case for Chicagograd to have the money pit Summer Olympics in 2016.

People are wondering why Duncan and LaWhiteHood went along.  I think the reason is that Duncan was the Superintendent of the Chicago Public Fool System before Obama sent him to Educ, and LaWhiteHood was a RINO Congressman from near Chicago when Obama filled his cabinet with a token Republican.

That said, why can’t Tony Rezko and all the dead cats that vote eight times apiece in Chicago elections come along?

Freezing Good in the Neighborhood

A 5′7″ tall black man, driving a blue four-door 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with MO plates 7AW-40L, knocked back the Applebee’s in Sikeston this morning shortly after six.  The robber forced the employees into the freezer and then locked them in.

I know that there were two Applebee’s that served breakfast; one is at the Radisson Hotel in Nashville, and the other is in NYC.  I was made to think that these were the only two Appllebee’s in the country that served breakfast.  So why is the one in Sikeston open at 6?

Brave New Health Record World

On the one hand, those who supported the Federal requirement that every American health care patient’s records be digitized and computerized by 2014 say that there are no privacy concerns, because your medical records are only between you and your doctors.  But one of Ted Kennedy’s sons, Patrick, a Congressman from the Massachusetts colony of Rhode Island, wants to create an opt-out for aborticides and STDs.

Why should Kennedy have any concern if our records are private anyway?  Answer:  He knows they won’t be private.  And that’s what I think they’re angling at with these EHRs — they’re priming the pump for something, perhaps forced drugging, or saying that you can’t buy a gun because you were once on Zoloft or you had a few visits with a psychologist.

Fancy a Kennedy wanting to conceal aborticides and STDs.

Culture of Corruption

Because this story relates to a judge who won’t be a judge for much longer, I feel safe in violating my own policy against naming judges.

President Obama has chosen Cole County Circuit Court Judge Richard Callahan to be the new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri.

I don’t know what I think about the choice, but what worries me is that before 2002, he was the Cole County Circuit Attorney.  Since Jefferson City is in Cole County, just about all matters of corrupt state officials goes through the Cole County Circuit.  Callahan helped prosecute Judy Moriarty, and that doesn’t exactly make me happy — I think that the whole effort to string her up was at the behest of the Carnahan World Empire, (Mel Carnahan was in the middle of his first term as Governor), because Moriarty wasn’t with The Program even though she was a Democrat.  Once she went up the river, Carnahan replaced her with Becky Crook, who was responsible for fucking around with the ballot language for the CCW proposal that narrowly lost in April 1999 — some think that the language changes Crook approved swung just enough votes from yes to no.

All this tells me that Callahan is nothing more than a machine cog.  But, I won’t raise a big stink about it because we could have gotten much worse for the new U.S. Attorney, and by “much worse,” I mean Bob “The Truth Squader” McCulloch.

(3)  Age filters on the ISP side won’t work to “reduce the need for draconian legislation to punish file-sharers.”  The music and movie industry focusing on quality is.

(4)  A billionaire who uses the first letter of his first name, then a period, then his full middle then last names, goes into jail.  Do you think somebody’s gonna take out after him? Maybe Ann Coulter’s onto something by calling the President “B. Hussein Obama.”

(5)  Somebody asked me if Conan O’Brien did any damage to the funny part of his brain when he hit his head on the Tonight Show set on Friday.  My response was that I didn’t know that he had a funny part of his brain.

(6)  Nice timing:  Steve Sailer postulates that the reason for “inner city” academies like SEED (and KIPP) having very long school days and school years, such that they might as well be orphanages, is the environmentalist assumptions of racial egalitarians.  On the same day, President Obama calls for longer school years.  The irony of all this, as Sailer notes, is that Australia did this to Abo children several decades ago, and is now apologizing for the “racist” nature of that.  Seems like egalitarians just can’t win.  Maybe they should stop being egalitarians.

(7)  LOL — Some Chicagoans want Rio to get the 2016 Summer Olympics, because of the back-breaking debt Chicago would have to incur.  That’s all the more reason I want Chicago to get the Games :)  In 2020, they could hold them in Kansas City.

(8)  Here’s another reason why the Obamaization of GM and Chrysler was a bad idea — The NYT doesn’t admit this, but reading between the lines tells me that the UAW won’t be able to fight GM and Chrysler building assembly lines in China.  In other words, the UAW is neutralized.

(9)  Doesn’t this make you want to move to some nondescript place in South Dakota?

Here’s another way to look at this.  The dots representing McD’s corresponds well to an overhead picture of the United States at night.  Some people are always complaining about light pollution and its effects on stargazing and astronomy in or near big cities.  The answer is to close down McDonalds at night.

(10)  Steve Patterson, WTF?  There’s only one political party in the City of St. Louis, so how can city politics be partisan?

Actually, I might have to eat my own words.  While there seem to be two parties on a national basis, the Republicans and the Democrats there is only really one, the Republocrats.  But while there seems to be only one party in St. Louis City, the Democrats, there are really two:  The black Democrats and the white liberal Democrats.

UPDATE 9/29: And if Patterson’s pipe dream even comes close to smelling the light of day, VRA ‘65 will squash it to death.

Toronto Star:

Police go door-to-door in search for illegal firearms

Right at this moment in Toronto, there are as many as 4,000 illegal guns tucked under beds, stashed in closets or hidden in dresser drawers.

Complicated amnesty laws around gun legislation have many owners confused. Now the city’s Guns and Gangs unit is going door to door setting people straight.

“If you have to ask the question if you are licensed… I can pretty much guarantee you are not in compliance,” said Superintendent Greg Getty, who works with the Organized Crime Enforcement unit.

So Getty and his team are going through tens of thousands of old gun registry documents to try and locate weapons where registration may have expired.

So far, they’ve gone through 5,000 and located 400 guns. Offending individuals are either given an opportunity to obtain the necessary permits and educate themselves on safe storage procedures — while Toronto police hold the gun for safe-keeping — or else the weapon is destroyed.

Gee, that’s funny.  I don’t read here about any libtard hootin’ and hollerin’ about warrantless invasions of privacy.  Oops, I forgot, these are white people whose “crimes” involved being a day late in renewing a permit, and not Muslim terrorists, who of course are entitled to privacy rights.

To Every Thing There Is A Season

Would a potential Republican takeover of the U.S. House next year help or hurt President Obama?

Michael Medved thinks that if it happens, this might help the President.  The reason is that the Republicans winning the House and Senate in 1994 forced President Clinton to go into moderate mode, and that’s how he won a second term as President.  The logic goes that President Obama would follow suit, and therefore win a second term.

I don’t think the analogy holds completely.  It depends on four things:  (1)  Does President Obama really want to abandon his left-wing radicalism for anything?  For all his faults, Bill Clinton had a pretty good political radar.  (2)  The Republicans put up a turkey in 1996, helping Clinton’s cause.  There may or may be the same kind of turkey for the GOP in 2012.  (3)  If the Blue Dog Democrats like Heath Shuler, Brad Ellsworth and Travis Childers in strong Cook PVI Republican districts stay off the Democrat Plantation, Republicans won’t be able to flip those districts next year, limiting their overall gains.  They would need to flip 40 seats to take the House.  (4)  The economy.  It was better in November 1996 than it was in November 1992.  Incumbents benefit with an improving economy.  We have no idea what November 2012 will be like compared to November 2008.  The economy was somewhat better in 11/94 than it was in 11/92, and Republicans won big anyway.  What might help the Rs is if the economy doesn’t get noticeably better by 11/10 compared to 11/08.

I think Bush 43 will have been long forgotten by next November.  A news story has a half-life of 36 hours these days, and already Democrat attempts in New Jersey and Virginia to link their Republican opponents for Governor to Bush (both Rs are leading in the polls) are flopping.  Thirteen months from now, Bush will have become ancient history.  People don’t have very long memories.  As it was, Bush 41 lost to Bill Clinton in 1992, and almost two years later he was just about forgotten as the Republicans won big.  And those were in the pre-internet and pre-24/7 news cycle days.

On top of all of this, I don’t like Medved’s mentality that the Presidency is the only political prize worth having.  If I had to choose either a very right-wing President or a very right-wing House in perpetuity, but not both, I would pick the House.  Reason?  Let me spell it out for you:  M-O-N-E-Y.  All spending and revenue bills must start in the House, and therefore the House has great sway over if and how public policy is enforced.

Here’s Our Address

Dave Sinclair passed away early Friday morning at the age of 81.  His South County Ford dealership was at one point the top Ford dealer in America, though I can’t remember what the measure was — total units moved, net profitability, or what.  Either way, it defined the corner of Lindbergh and Lemay.

I do know from listening to the grapevine that he wasn’t very fond of, shall we put it, ladies and gentlemen of very dark color, and that he dropped the occasional n-bomb or two.  Evidently, he never had too many good experiences with black customers.  I wonder where he got a silly idea like that.
