Friday Wrap-Up

(1)  There has been a rash of car break-em-ins on the parking lots of gyms in Loweryville.  Apparently, many gym patrons leave their valuables in the car and in plain sight, instead of using their gym locker.  Which probably means they also don’t use the gym’s showers.

(2)  Iowa is now a “shall issue” CCW state.

(3)  I think Walter seriously needs to chill out.  I also don’t think the carrots, cucumbers, celery or milk are for Walter.  Hence, the need for the extra large butt plug for Walter.

She’s Bringing Sexy Back

I know you’re not supposed to talk about a woman’s age.  So I’ll be diplomatic in what I’m about to say:

For an upper middle-aged woman, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is smoking red hot.

I can only imagine what she was like when she was about my age.  Just extrapolating the age regression, and imagining it on my computer monitor, makes me want to get up and give her the ole wolf whistle.  I don’t imagine Mr. Brewer will take too kindly at someone ogling his wife, even from 1,300 miles away.  But I am, even if it comes with the risk of him traveling all that distance just to kick my ass.

You read it here first:  Janice Kay Brewer, 45th President of the United States.

No Points for Neetness

I caught about the later two-thirds of the third and final British PM debate which just ended, and I saw the entirety of the back-and-forth about immigration.  Al Sharpton might have shit his pants to see this, but the audience question which started the part about immigration came from what appeared to be and sounded like a black Briton, and his question was loaded up in a fashion that made me believe that he was against mass immigration.

If I didn’t know any better, both Gordon Brown and David Cameron might as well be Jan Brewer.  Only Nick Clegg seems to advocate something close to amnesty and open borders.  But I do know better — Amnesty and open borders is what you’re going to get with any one of these three.  Vote BNP.  Clegg, in his attempt to distract from his amnesty proposals, said that Boris Johnson, the Tory Mayor of London, and a former Tory Party MP, is for amnesty.  Well, duh.  Any big city (or in the case of Johnson, metropolitan area) mayor is going to be more liberal than the body politic of the country, even if the mayor belongs to the lamestream conservative party.  Two words:  Michael Bloomberg.  Two more words:  Richard Riordan.

Aside from the immigration question, most of the other rhetoric was as boring as any American Presidential debate.  To make things worse, I was expecting to hear my two favorite British political acronyms, QUANGO (Quasi-Autonomous Non-Governmental Organization) and NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training, similar to Americans talking about the high school dropout rate.)  Alas, none.  NEETs were talked about, but the whole phrase was used.

This election cycle in the UK is the first to feature American-style debates.  I think the reason they weren’t held until now is because of the uniqueness of Westminister-style parliamentary democracies:  While either Brown, Clegg or Cameron, or, to be more hopeful, Nick Griffin, will be the head of state after these elections, he will be PM because his party won a majority of seats in Parliament.  (Discounting the hung Parliament scenario, which is a real possibility this year b/c of Clegg.)  Therefore, the personalities and exigencies of the politics in each individual constituency (district) come into play.  I think these debates are a clue that the politics of UK elections are starting to become less about the parties and more about the leaders.

Now, hopefully for Britain’s sake, they won’t adopt that other curious feature of American Presidential elections — two-year long campaigns.

The End of Days A’Comin’

How do I know?  The Illinois Senate passed a gun law, and both yours truly and Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago agree with it.

The bill, which has already passed the House, and awaits what will likely be Governor Quinn’s signature, would mandate prison time for those convicted of UUW who don’t have a FOID.

Unfortunately, what Gov. Quinn giveth, Gov. Quinn can taketh away, at least until next January.  His brief tenure as Governor has certainly proven that!

BTW, where are we going to get the money and prison space to house all these new convicts?

Today’s 48th State Stack of Stuff

(1)  Here’s another place where the AZ state government can send its estimated half million illegal aliens, other than San Francisco:  New York City.  Bloomberg calls SB 1070 “national suicide,” so it follows that if AZ sends them to NYC, NYC would be stronger and AZ would be weaker.  C’mon Mayor Mikey.  Be strong, for the rest of us.

(2)  On the other hand, AZ’s government might not actually have to pay to send them anywhere.  Many are leaving voluntarily.

(3)  The last thing I want to get is a “backlash” in San Francisco.  No telling what that might encompass.  I might actually enjoy it, depending on a lot of things.

“Oh, blogmeister.  You have such a dirty mind.”

(4)  Gov. Jan Brewer just might have signed herself into winning a term as Governor in her own right when she signed SB 1070.  Don’t forget, she took over as Governor when Obama sent Nappy to HLS, and that I think was a reward to McCain for not running a serious Presidential campaign — it was thought that Nappy was McCain’s only real competition for another Senate term.  Little did they know about J.D. Hayworth.  Anyway, Brewer’s only real competition, AFAIK, is Democrat A.G. Terry Goddard, who is the son of Sam Goddard, a native St. Louisan and Country Day alum who was Governor of Arizona himself, way back when.

(5)  The Son Also Makes Sense:  San Diego area Congressman Duncan D. Hunter (R-CA), the son of my preferred Republican in the 2008 primaries of the same first and last name, implies that the 14th does not guarantee birthright citizenship.  And I would agree — The clause that seems to do that was intended automagically to grant citizenship to recently freed black slaves after the WBTS.

Oklahoma Bill Would Force Most Men Between the Ages of 17 and 45 Either to Kill Themselves or Leave the State

Reading the comments, it might actually require all American citizens and legal aliens of both genders in Oklahoma between 17 and 70 (who aren’t Black Panthers) either to kill themselves or leave the state.

Today’s 48th State Stack of Stuff

(1)  Both Crist and Rubio have come out against SB 1070.  Important, because Florida is another state heavily impacted by immigration.  Also important, because Rubio is starting to show his true colors.  So to speak.

At this juncture, I would vote none of the above.

(2)  House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) calls SB 1070 “inconsistent with civil liberties.” Being murdered at the hands of illegal alien drug smugglers?  Perfectly consistent with civil liberties.

I can just see the last white people being driven out of Arizaztlan 50 years from now, feet don’t fail me now:  “We lost, but at least we didn’t flinch a single inch on civil liberties.”

(3)  And yet more good news:  It may discourage H-1B visa holders from working in Arizona.  Maybe now there will be one state where native born white Americans can work in CS/IT.

What a Happy Coincidence

Chicago Sun-Times:

Daley: Send gun industry lawsuit to World Court

Six years after the state Supreme Court dismissed his $433 million lawsuit against the gun industry, Mayor Daley today called for a change of venue — to the World Court normally reserved for disputes between nations and crimes against humanity.

Wrapping up the sixth annual Richard J. Daley Global Cities Forum, Daley convinced more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the world to approve a resolution urging “redress against the gun industry through the courts of the world” in The Hague.

“This is coming from international mayors. They’re saying, ‘We’re tired of your guns, America. … We don’t want those anymore because guns kill and injure people,’ ” Daley told a news conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Funny, thing, Mayor.  I’m tired of your (racial pejorative censored).  So maybe we can work something out.

This might help:

Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard Casauban noted that the Mexican government is waging a brutal war against drug cartels that get “85 percent” of their weapons from the United States.

We’ve been through this.  The Mexican gangs are getting the guns from the international black market, and a lot of them are moving, with the gangsters and illegals, from south to north, not the other way around.

But let’s assume for the sake of discussion that Mr. Casauban is right.  There’s the obvious solution to prevent all those evil gringo guns from infesting Mexico.  It’s called triple fencing, 100,000 volts, AND the 101st Airborne.  Comprehensive plan, if there ever was one.  And while we’re at it, we can fence off the crime-ridden sections of Chicago, Philadelphia, and every other major city mentioned here in exactly that fashion, to keep guns out of those neighborhoods.

“But blogmeister, won’t that be in essence putting those residence into a sort of prison?”

Well, yeah, but since a very high percentage of black men in many major cities, upwards of half, are in prison, or on probation or parole for a felony conviction, it’s just as well.  They’ll wind up going to prison anyway.  Much cheaper to bring the prison to them rather than take them to the prison.

Be careful for what you wish, you just might get it.

World court.  Sheesh.

Again, I ask: What is it about cities that make guns behave so badly? Why are gun buyback programs only advertised on black radio stations, and never classical music, soft rock or country music stations? Though I would rather be a whore and ripping out a big ole fart while sitting in the pews of a church than advertise a gun buyback program on a country music radio station.

Hello, my new found friend.  And yes, I agree.  St. Louis is full of racism.  Much like St. Louis is full of oxygen.

Truthfully, I haven’t had a good thorn in my side since The Pondering American, coming up on four years ago now.  (Sorry, S.J.  You don’t qualify as a thorn in my side.)  Maybe a good cross-blog flame war is just what I need to get me out of my rut.

BTW, my new found friend.  You say the raison d’etre for your blog is to respond to “white racists” that post comments at the P-D.  What’s wrong with responding to them at the P-D?  Other than chasing my tail lights, which I’m happy someone is doing, why create a whole other blog just to respond to what you think are moronic P-D comments?  Either the P-D bounced you out, or you don’t have a life, or a little of both.

Tom Schweich’s Deceitful Advertising

The primary isn’t until August, but Tom Schweich already has media buys out on St. Louis radio, mainly on KMOX during Rush, and on 97.1 FM at all times of the day.

In those ads, the WU Law Prof is telling you that he “worked with conservative UN ambassador John Bolton” to do such-and-such.  I know why he used the word “conservative.”  The reason is is that he’s got really close and disturbing links to John Danforth.

Another one of his selling points is that he used his auditing skills to wipe out the Taliban’s heroin profits.  Trouble with saying that is that the Taliban, with its ultra-conservative and ultra-fundamentalist adherence to Islam, and for all its other faults, actually kept a lid on poppy production in the parts of Afghanistan it controlled.  If anything, Ahmed Shah Massoud, who the CIA backed to topple the Taliban and apprehend OBL pre-9/11 (in fact, Massoud was assassinated two days before 9/11, a clue that 9/11 was about to happen, in retrospect), was big into the poppy business, and financed his military efforts in that fashion.

However, I don’t need to know anything except that John Danforth hearts him.  That’s enough for me to vote for the other guy, if I had a vote.  Which I don’t, as I am an Edwardsvillean.

Two Seemingly Unrelated Stories, One Latin Interrogatory

Try to fit these two seemingly unrelated stories together:

(1)  Open borders extremists, a mix of Aztlan kooks and far-left whites, are going bananas in Arizona after the enactment of its new law against illegal immigration.  Note the communist flag.

(2)  A group calling itself “Pursuit and Safety” wants national standards on the subject of law enforcement and high speed chases of suspects.  The group claims to represent the families of innocent victims of such chases.

How do they fit together?

Two Latin words:  Cui bono?

In other words, who benefits (or rather, who would benefit) from the repeal or nullification of the AZ immigration law?  Who would benefit if cops were all but prohibited from engaging in high speed pursuit of criminal suspects?

Answer:  Drug gangs.  In the case of the Arizona thing, I would also bet that there’s some Arab/Muslim terrorist petro-bucks from Saudi Arabia behind it, wanting to keep the southern border open for AQ/Hezbollah types disguised as Hispanics.  (The presence of Hezbollah on both sides of the border has been confirmed.)  This is why I think young white “anarchists” far from the border do what they do; it all has to do with drugs.

If we had an FBI that we could be proud of, they’d get their forensic accountants to work.  I bet they would find that both “Pursuit and Safety” and this open borders milieu in AZ are getting money from drug gangs, laundered several times over from one end to the other.  (That’s why forensic accountants are needed, to sift through the laundering process).  And of course, in the case of the latter, Saudi Arabia.

On the Murder of Richard Barrett

James Edwards has done yeoman’s work on the tragic matter.  The CofCC has dug up this little nicety.

I will say that the murder of Richard Barrett reminds me so much of the recent murder of Eugene Terre’blance in South Africa, for many of the same reasons:  Both were so-called “white supremacists,” both were murdered by black land workers of theirs, (what is a “white supremacist” doing with black workers, BTW?), both in territories that the Yankee Government forced into accepting racial integration, and I think both murders are the results of far more organized anti-white racial hatred among both blacks and leftist whites than the media are letting on.

The main difference is that Barrett had virtually no history of violence, and his so-called “white supremacism” was far less strident than Terre’blanche’s.

With his death, a certain poverty palace we all know and love gets to chime in:

Barrett traveled the country to promote anti-black and anti-immigrant views and founded a supremacist group called the Nationalist Movement. He had a knack for publicity but little real influence, one expert said.

“Richard Barrett was a guy who ran around the country essentially pulling off publicity stunts,” said Mark Potok, who monitors hate groups for the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center. “He really never amounted to any kind of leader in the white supremacist movement.”

And that would be my assessment.  A publicity-seeking gadfly, who had some fairly good instincts, but also some screwy instincts.  Barrett was the archetype of a person whose motto is if you don’t hear a rumor by 10 o’clock in the morning, make one up and spread it around.  I figure about three-quarters of the false rumors about the CofCC in Mississippi that were spread around in the last decade-plus came straight from Barrett’s keyboard.  Otherwise harmless.

The obnoxious thing here is that now that one of his black workers has gone and croaked him, the Poverty Palace goes ahead and tells you the truth about him.  While he was living, they were doing everything they can put him at the center of every right-wing conspiracy that existed in the fertile imagination of one Morris Seligman Dees.  All of course to raise money.  If we had a President we could be proud of and an Attorney General we could be proud of, which we haven’t had in my lifetime, they would chase the paper trail to see if charges of wire and mail fraud against the Poverty Palace could be brought.  If they honestly thought that Barrett was a harmless gadfly ten years ago, which they admit now, but were making him out to be Hitler II, and raising money on that pretext, then that certainly fits under the definition of fraud.

Sunday Wrap-Up

(1)  He better work for the Packers.  Otherwise, he’s got some real issues.

(2)  Now I know how the tea parties can get more diversity.

(3)  The Republican Party once had a Southern Strategy?  Duh, what’s so controversial about saying that?  (Much less believing it.)  Michael Steele got something right — Merely a matter of a broken clock being right twice a day.

(4)  Tempus fugit:  Notice the first name of the young suspect.  We’re now far along enough in time to have young adults with the first name “Shaquille,” probably given that first name because of the famous basketball player with the same name.  Shaq has had a long career.

(5)  Don’t believe the hype.  That part of North Carolina is full of leftist hippies.

(6)  The radical Islamist who threatened the producers of South Park?  A white American convert to Islam from Northern Virginia. Robert E. Lee would be turning over in his grave.

(7)  Before Arizona passed its strict anti-illegal alien law last week, Missouri’s was the toughest such law in the nation.  So it makes me kinda jealous.

However, the other side has just gained a powerful ally in its fight against the law.  I’ll let you read for yourself.  Maybe after he’s done in Arizona, someone can tell him that Missouri has similar laws, and come to the Show-Me State.

What Gives?

For the last week and a half, by far the most popular post on this blog, in fact, it’s getting more hits than the blog in general, has been my post of two weeks ago where I go on the deodorant rant.  WordPress lets you see the search engine terms being used to come to your blog, but I don’t read anything there which is relevant to what I said in that post.  I mentioned Chris Paul, Holly Robinson Peete, Donald Trump, Clyde Drexler and Scottie Pippen in that post, and mention Right Guard by name, but I don’t think there’s a glut of professional web surfers that troll any website or blog which mentions one of those people or things.

Anyone got any theories?

And Now for the Other Stuff…

…That accumulated while I was busy moving and with other things.

(1)  The cotton ballers?  The charges will be misdemeanor littering.  No hate crimes riders, because according to state law, hate crimes riders can’t be attached to littering charges.

I predict that even the misdemeanor littering charges will soon be dropped to a city ordinance infraction.

(2)  She Said They Said:  There is currently a food fight on between State Rep. Jamillah Nasheed, from North City, and the St. Louis City Police Department.  The latter says that recent outbreaks of black crime in north city, and particularly her district, are not gang related.  Nasheed says they are, and wants the SLPD to crack down on “gang activity” in her district.  (If they actually did so, she’d be the first one bitching about racial profiling).  As for the matter at hand, I trust the SLPD’s first-class gang intelligence unit more than the idle musings of Jamillah Nasheed.  I think she’s got an angle, and it has something to do with money.

(3)  BNP:  87% of those working to build the Olympic Stadium that will host the opening and closing ceremonies, and track and field events, for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, were born outside of the UK.  I guess every native born white Briton that wants to work is working, such that they have to import people.  The only silver lining in the cloud is that many of those “foreign born” are whites from Eastern Europe.

(4)  The next election (actually, primary, but in Chicago, only Democrats matter) for Mayor of Chicago is in March 2011.  The last rumor re Rahm is that he was going to quit as CoS, use the new housing subdivision in Jerusalem as the excuse, and take Alexi What’s-His-Face’s place in the Senate race this year.  Now the rumor is that he wants to be Mayor of Chicago, and seems like he wants the job, if and only if Daley doesn’t want to run again.  I get the feeling that Daley “won’t” want to run again, b/c the White House is going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.

(5)  Nice timing:  Various St. Louis “minority contractor” groups and black civil rights groups are suing Metro Transit.  Just days after Prop A passes in St. Louis County, giving Metro more money.  Coincidence?  Methinks not.  Ironically, the reason Metro needed this new money was mainly b/c of the financial disaster that was giving so many “minority contractors” so much work to build the most recent leg of the Metro Link, the one that was years late and hundreds of millions of dollars over budget.

(6)  What’s in a name?  Irony.  The SIUC public policy institute named after the late Sen. Paul Simon polled people in the 18 southernmost Illinois counties; Yours truly was a resident of one of those counties for almost all of last year, and had a job with a firm very dependent on said university.  The poll’s findings were that ObamaCare is unpopular, the country and the state are headed in the wrong direction, and that Brady will clean Quinn’s clock in those counties.  (This doesn’t portend well for Quinn, because Blago showed surprising strength in far Southern Illinois, versus both Ryan in 2002 and Topinka in 2006.)  The reason for the irony is that Paul Simon, a native of Marine, Illinois, near St. Louis, said that, when asked about racial cleansing in Cairo, as far south in IL as you can get, where blacks were driving whites out of town in the 1970s, that he didn’t care about what was going on in southern Illinois, because there were “more black voters in Cook County than there were all voters south of Springfield.”  Now, Quinn picked Simon’s daughter as his running mate.  That’s gonna go over like a lead balloon.

(7)  In spite of what I already concluded, it looks like Blago knows where Obama’s skeletons are hiding.  Prediction:  The U.S. Attorney (Obama appointee) will drop the charges some time after the midterms but before Obama leaves office.  I think that promise has already been made.

(8)  Someone must have read my mind.  When the NCAA thought about expanding the tourney to 96 teams, my thought was that they don’t need to widen the net that far, just create three extra play-in games, to decide the 16th seed in each region, and play all four on the Tuesday before the tourney starts.  And that’s just exactly what they’re going to do.

(9)  Gordon Brown has told Nick Clegg to “get real.” If I were Clegg, my response would be to tell Brown to “be rational.”  Then I’d change my name to the square root of -1, and Brown would change his to pi.

How much you wanna bet this is the guy who jacked up Kal Penn?

UK Daily Mail:  Barack Obama plays EIGHT times more golf than George W Bush… that’s 32 rounds since taking office

Leave the poor guy alone.  How else do you expect to have an established handicap unless you play a lot of golf?  Let me put it to you this way — Either he plays golf, or it’s in the Oval Office dreaming up another fucked-up plan to give the Yankee gubmint more power.  Which would you rather have?

Judging from the oh-so-successful ways that the Yankee military has dealt with other “national security threats” of the recent past, my money on the way over-fatty over-salty mystery meat pizza slices.

It is becoming Mexico, so yeah, anything’s possible.

P-D:  Kicked out! Kickball league gets boot from Tower Grove Park

I once saw them play.  I knew their days in TGP were numbered when they were loading up the porta-showers for use after the game with kegs of beer.  I didn’t have to stick around to see that they’d all be naked in earnest.
