WILKOW/ RIZZUTO:
GE a corporate sponsor
By Andrew Wilkow and Nick Rizzuto
Monday, May 11, 2009

For all of the carping liberals did for eight years about corporate cronyism in George W. Bush's White House, they seem to turn a blind eye to the same behavior in President Obama's. With plans in place for a major overhaul in the health-care industry, General Electric is positioning itself to become a major beneficiary of these health care reforms.

Recently at the Business and Social Responsibility Conference, General Electric Chief Executive Officer Jeff Immelt referred to America's current economic crisis as part of a "reset" rather than part of an economic cycle, saying, "People who understand that will prosper in the future, and people who don't understand that will get left behind."

In the same address, Mr. Immelt, who is also a member of Mr. Obama's economic recovery advisory board, added, "The intersection of government and business will be changed, maybe for a generation." In other words, companies should be prepared to beg for a seat at the government's table if they plan on remaining lucrative.

Imagine that on the eve of the Iraq war, the CEO of Halliburton had declared that since Sept. 11, 2001, the relationship between the government and corporate interests have become one in the same.

Of course, Mr. Immelt's rhetoric about corporate responsibility was undercut last year when GE's once vaunted financial services business, GE Capital, was forced to ask the government for what amounted to a $140 billion government bailout.

Mr. Immelt's words betray GE's willingness to partner with the Obama government in order to turn a profit. To this end, GE has appointed Mr. Obama's former nominee for secretary of health and human services, Tom Daschle, to the board of advisers for Healthymagination, an initiative launched by General Electric in partnership along with Intel, which will invest $6 billion over the next six years on "health care innovation that will help deliver better care to more people at lower cost."

Mr. Daschle said, "We can only find real solutions in health care when business, government and their partners work together."

In 2008, Mr. Daschle wrote the book "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis" in which he explains his radical solutions to the problems in American health care. In the book, Mr. Daschle calls for a British-style Federal Council on health care.

The profitability of GE's new venture will depend heavily on the nationalization of the health care industry. The standardization and streamlining of health care recordkeeping, something on which Mr. Obama ran in 2008, would require a massive government contract for the technology to achieve such standardization.

Mr. Obama has introduced a plan to computerize all health records within five years. Independent studies from Harvard, Rand Corp. and the Commonwealth Fund have estimated that such a plan could cost at least $75 billion to $100 billion over the next 10 years. Healthymagination is readying just such a technology, claiming that they will seek to "increase the use and capability of electronic medical record (EMR) technology and other information technology." With Mr. Obama's ally Mr. Daschle on board, Healthymagination is sure to have more than a leg up on its competition when it comes time to dole out these massive contracts.

Under the cloak of corporate responsibility, General Electric seeks to benefit to the tune of billions from the passage of Mr. Obama's health care reform. On its corporate Web site, Healthymagination admits it will use every tool at its disposal to achieve its goals, including NBC Universal, the parent company of MSNBC which offers nearly uncritical coverage of Mr. Obama and his policies.

In effect, NBC Universal would become the propaganda arm of the administrations drive for the nationalization of health care, pushing its passage in its print and television properties.

Healthymagination states its target dates for the completion of its various initiatives as 2015, well into a second Obama term. This means GE will have a deep financial interest in Mr. Obama's re-election; a fact that will no doubt be reflected in its media divisions. It will certainly be interesting to see if the left-wing watchdogs howl, or if they will conclude this is an acceptable level of collusion between the White House and a multinational conglomerate.

Hannity did a nice little video exposing a lot of things about Planned Parenthood back in August of last year.

and another video from Bill O'Reilley talking to one of the Advocate kids, Lila Rose, who has been doing more of God's work.

This is crazy.

It is Earth Day and I love it!

2009-04-22T14:58:00.001-07:00

And though the enviro-marxists have tried to take that away from me by constantly creating regulation upon regulation upon intervention so that I hate all things associated with being conscious of the environment, they have not yet succeeded and I still do so love the Earth! It is such a remarkable and resilient planet and I hope everyone gets to watch Disney's Earth (a new compilation of footage from BBC's Planet Earth series with James Earl Jones narrating).

Happy Earth Day! Yeah, Earth!

Also, my dad sent me this link to a great Earth Day video.

The Newest Tax-Cheat: Sebelius--Health and Human Services

2009-03-31T19:42:00.001-07:00

"Look, when will you guys realize that democrats don't pay taxes, we spend them. Geez, you act surprised by this stuff."

Sebelius admits errors, pays $7,000 in back taxes
Mar 31 09:02 PM US/Eastern
By ERICA WERNER

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius recently corrected three years of tax returns and paid more than $7,000 in back taxes after finding "unintentional errors"—the latest tax troubles for an Obama administration nominee.
The Kansas governor explained the changes to senators in a letter dated Tuesday that the administration released. She said they involved charitable contributions, the sale of a home and business expenses.
Sebelius said she filed the amended returns as soon as the errors were discovered by an accountant she hired to scrub her taxes in preparation for her confirmation hearings. She and her husband, Gary, a federal magistrate judge in Kansas, paid a total of $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest to amend returns from 2005-2007.
Asked by The Associated Press to comment on the amended tax returns as she left a Capitol Hill restaurant Tuesday night, Sebelius said, "We put out a statement and the statement speaks for itself."
Several Obama administration nominees have run into tax troubles, notably the president's first nominee for HHS secretary, former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle. He withdrew from consideration while apologizing for failing to pay $140,000 in taxes and interest.
Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., quickly issued a statement supporting Sebelius.
"Congress is going to need a strong partner at the Department of Health and Human Services to achieve comprehensive health reform this year, and we have that partner in Gov. Sebelius," Baucus said. "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Gov. Sebelius has the political experience, determination, and bipartisan work ethic to get the job done with Congress this year. She's the right person for the job."
There was no comment from the White House.
Sebelius is to appear Thursday before Baucus' committee, which will vote on sending her nomination to the full Senate. Sebelius testified Tuesday before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee before the tax issue became public, getting a friendly reception.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, said through a spokeswoman that he is reserving judgment until the vetting process, including the nomination hearing, is completed.
In her letter to Baucus and Grassley, Sebelius wrote that the accountant discovered these errors:
_Charitable contributions over $250 are supposed to include an acknowledgment letter from the charity in order for a deduction to be taken. Out of 49 charitable contributions made, three letters couldn't be found.
_Sebelius and her husband took deductions for mortgage interest that they weren't entitled to. The couple sold their home in 2006 for less than what they owed on the mortgage. They continued to make payments on the mortgage, including interest. But since they no longer owned the home they weren't entitled to take deductions for the interest. The same thing happened with a home improvement loan. Sebelius said they "mistakenly believed" the payments were still deductible.
_Insufficient documentation was found for some business expense deductions.
An administration official said Sebelius filed the amended returns before documents formalizing her nomination were sent to the Finance Committee. Sebelius advised the committee of the mistakes, and senators requested an explanation, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
In a letter to Sebelius dated Tuesday, Baucus and Grassley wrote that they'd reviewed the three years of amended returns and "no additional items were identified that needed to be addressed."

Why should he be asked to speak? He should go speak somewhere else and a relevant, pro-life politician could take his place. I mean, how are they supposed to be inspired by someone who voted against BAIPA?

Criticism over Obama invite mounts at Notre Dame
Associated Press
Mar 27 05:06 AM US/EasternBy TOM COYNE

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Jimmy Carter came to Notre Dame in 1977. So did Ronald Reagan in 1981 and George W. Bush in 2001.
The University of Notre Dame has a tradition of inviting new presidents to speak at graduation. But this year's selection of President Barack Obama has been met by a barrage of criticism that has left some students fearing their commencement ceremony will turn into a circus.

Many Catholics are angered by Obama's planned appearance at the May 17 ceremony because of his decisions to provide federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and international family planning groups that provide abortions or educate about the procedure.
The consensus Thursday on the campus of the nation's largest Catholic university was that any president should be welcomed at Notre Dame.

One thing at a time, Mr President
Without a strong US economy, Barack Obama will be too weak to achieve any pet projects, domestic or foreign policy goals

by Tim Montgomerie
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 24 March 2009 11.30 GMT

The most insightful thing about Barack Obama was written last July by America's finest commentator, David Brooks of the New York Times. Brooks confessed to having been wowed – like most of the world – by his first impressions of the then junior senator from Illinois. Inspired by his early rhetoric, Brooks had hoped that he was hearing an overture to a great work. Unfortunately, said Brooks, well ahead of the herd, he was beginning to fear that the overture was actually the entire symphony. Act 1, Scene 1 – as good as it was – was all there was. And constant repetition of the same act – sonorous at first hearing – will begin to annoy and then anger.

The Choice: A One Act Play by Bill Willingham

Characters:Possible: A well-spoken bit of biological material.Mr. Patronus: Possible’s visitor.The Setting: A warm, dark place.

(Curtain. Possible is alone on stage when Mr. Patronus enters.)
Possible: Who are you?
Patronus: My name is Mr. Pratronus. I’m sorry to suddenly intrude like this, but I’ve been assigned as your STO.
Possible: Stow?
Patronus: STO. Your Survival Training Officer. Your birth time is approaching and I’ve been sent in to train you in a few techniques that might increase your chances of surviving the next few days.
Possible: Survive what? My birth? My understanding is that medical technology has advanced far enough that childbirth has become — well, if not quite routine, at least considerably less dangerous. Why would I need eleventh hour special training just to undergo an event where a wealth of state-of-the-art material and a number of trained medical professionals are dedicated to seeing it through without incident?
Patronus: Unfortunately I’m not here to address a failing of medical technology or training. Medicine is as advanced now as it ever was in all of human history. That much is true. Instead I’m here to address a certain condition of philosophy and law. We’re a bit worried because some of your parents’ recent behaviors have raised a number of red flags. For example, this late into the gestation process they haven’t begun to discuss potential names for you. That’s one of the bigger danger signs that will get our attention every time.
Possible: But I already have a name. I’m Possible.
Patronus: I’m sorry but that’s not your name. Not really. It’s more of a title. A description of status. It’s the name every pre-born child, until his parents choose an actual name.
Possible: So I’m in danger, but of what? You said it had something to do with philosophy? I have to confess, I’m a bit confused.
Patronus: According to the culture in which you’re about to be born, assuming our efforts to insure your birth are successful, you aren’t yet a human being. You aren’t a person.
Possible: Are you kidding me? If I’m not a person, what am I?
Patronus: By definition of law, aided by a truly insidious twisting of language, you’re currently nothing more than a bit of extraneous and non-viable biological material.
Possible: Nonsense. I already have every evidence of personhood. I have thoughts and feelings. I have hopes and dreams. I’ve experienced joys and sorrows.
Patronus: None of which matters, according to the law.
Possible: I don’t believe that. Who could possibly believe that I’m not yet a real person?
Patronus: Well, that’s one of the truly frustrating aspects of this struggle, because no one does believe that — not your mother, or father, or the legal and medical people who’re determined to define away your humanity. Even the powerful social-political organizations created to bring about your destruction, without legal or social consequences, don’t actually believe you’re nothing more than a lump of waste tissue. But that’s what they need to claim. That’s the fiction they need to perpetuate in order to justify their overall agenda in general, and the all-too specific actions they may be contemplating where you’re concerned. Oddly enough, the more tenuous the agreed-upon fiction, the more desperate and vicious its proponents become in not allowing any reasonable examination of it.
Possible: That may describe those with an agenda to perpetuate. Some people just turn out bad and broken. But I can’t believe people as a whole could be so cynical. How could a wise and educated society possibly vote for such an obvious sham?
Patronus: I’ll let you know, should people as a whole ever get the chance to vote on it. This is a condition almost entirely imposed by the courts. On those rare occasions when people do insist on voting on some aspect of it, the results are routinely overturned by judicial fiat.
Possible: And the people just accept that?
Patronus: Not all of them do. Some are working hard to restore a better world, starting with a more rational and obvious definition of life and when it begins.
Possible: Some, but not all?
Patronus: I’m not sure what to tell you. Perhaps many stubbornly confuse language with reality. Define someone as a non-human and that person has indeed become a non-human, in fact, as well as convenience of labeling. I know that seems insane, but that’s the world you may be about to join.
Possible: And maybe the one I’m not about to join. You’ve mentioned danger and destruction. You’re scaring me, Mr. Patronus. I think it’s about time you told me exactly what you’re here to do. What do you hope to train me to survive?
Patronus: During your birth the medical people in attendance might be there to make sure you survive it, or they may be sure to make sure you don’t.
Possible: Oh please. Get serious.
Patronus: I assure you, Possible, I am deadly serious.
Possible: You expect me to believe that a doctor and an executioner happen to be the same profession?
Patronus: Under a very special set of circumstances and with the consent, or at the insistence, of your mother — yes.
Possible: And I have no say in the matter? Despite the Hippocratic oath, or all of the myriad protections of life written into the law?
Patronus: All of which only protect human life, which is why the tortured redefinition is so vital.
Possible: And there’s nothing I can do? My fate’s entirely in their hands?
Patronus: Almost, but not entirely. I’ve been sent in to teach you a few physical techniques to help you survive the ordeal. For example, there’s some twisting and turning maneuvers you can use if they send in some clamps and other devices in an attempt to dismember you while you’re still inside the birth canal. Most of all I want to teach you how not to resist the birth. Even if your mother has decided to kill you, the physical birth process is a mechanism of the ages, designed to deliver you whole and alive, with her instinctive physical cooperation, if not her desire. That’s one of the few things working in our favor.
Possible: Why? It seems it would just be easier for them to destroy me after I’m outside of my mother’s body.
Patronus: True, but that’s where this madhouse gets truly bizarre. As long as any part of you is still inside your mother, they are legally free — in fact obligated — to do all they can to dismember and kill you. But, if by some stroke of fortune, you’re able to get completely outside of your mother, then by a miracle of advanced rhetoric, you instantly cease being a lump of disposable tissue and become a person in full, with all of the rights and protections therein. At that moment, those same medical professionals that were trying to kill you will then have to switch roles and immediately do everything within their powers to preserve you. That’s why I want to train you to do whatever you can to get out as soon as possible — to strive towards the light, no matter what they attempt to do to you along the way.
Possible: Crawling desperately towards the very people trying so hard to kill me seems counter-intuitive, Mr. Patronus.
Patronus: Welcome to Cloud Cuckoo Land, where up is sometimes down, wrong is sometimes right, and what’s true today can’t be relied upon to be true tomorrow.
Possible: Let’s say I do pass whole and alive through this gauntlet. What then?
Patronus: Then they have to protect and preserve you, or they’d be in all sorts of legal trouble.
Possible: And I assume that will include taking me away from my mother.
Patronus: Uh… no. You’ll go on to live with her and be raised by her, unless she decides to do something else with you.
Possible: But, assuming your dire warning is true, she will have just tried to have me killed, and the only reason I would still be alive by that time is that they somehow blundered in their attempts to bring about my horrible death.
Patronus: Yes, but the law presumes that at the instant you become a person, she will no longer want you dead, but will be magically transformed, in that same impossible instant, into a loving and nurturing woman, who only has your best interests in mind.
Possible: That’s insane.
Patronus: You’ll get no argument from me. So, shall we begin your training? We’ll start with some of the things you already know how to do — twisting, rolling, kicking and turning, to deflect or avoid the grip of their instruments.
Possible: No, I don’t think so. I don’t mean to call you a liar to your face, but I don’t believe you. I can’t. No civilized society would allow such a barbaric practice such as you describe.
Patronus: I suppose not. I’m not enough of a philosopher to debate what does and doesn’t constitute a civilization. As I said, I’m basically a self-defense instructor. But I assure you, these are the dangers you’re facing.
Possible: And I repeat that I can’t bring myself to believe that. Even if it were all true, why would I want to survive to enter such a charnel house world? I don’t think I’m interested in your training, Mr. Patronus.
Patronus: Suit yourself.
Possible: You seem easily resigned to my decision.
Patronus: Only because I’ve been doing this for awhile. Too long. A significant minority of my assigned charges make the same decision you just did. Convincing a rational but innocent human being that they’re about to enter such a vastly irrational world is difficult to the point of near impossibility. You don’t yet have the experience to find me credible. As saddened as I am by your choice, I’m not surprised by it.
Possible: I can’t choose otherwise and still be the person I am. I have to believe in a good and rational world. The one you describe defies credulity.
Patronus: I’ll leave now. I have too many other appointments to keep. I hope you turn out to be one of the lucky ones, despite the warning signs. I hope your mother already loves and wants you, or at least allows you to live long enough to give you away to someone who can love and care for you. But if that doesn’t turn out to be the case, if they do try to destroy you when the time comes, then fight. Fight with all of your heart and soul and abilities. Even without my training, you’ve a chance to defy their instruments of cold steel, and confound their sinister designs. I’ll be honest and tell you that chance is slight, but it’s happened before. Good bye, Possible, and good luck.

Why doesn't Keith Olbermann have an audience?

2009-03-21T14:50:00.000-07:00

Oh, perhaps because he broadcasts freakshows who hope one day to become sane enough to wrap their heads in tin foil and communicate with space men! His big scoop comes from someone named Seymour Hersh who, apparently, has a fuzzy realationship with honesty...My favorite line from this story is:

Hersh has something of a "loose relationship with literal truth," explaining that when behind the lectern he tends to exaggerate his "scoops." (New York's headline? "Sy Hersh Says It's Okay to Lie (Just Not in Print)").

What the hell is literal truth? Ha ha ha! Must watch this & read it!

http://reason.com/blog/show/132236.html

Oh, another good line from Olbermann's "ace in the hole" source:

"I'm just communicating another reality that I know..."

Ha ha ha ha ha! It's too funny! Can not parody Olbermann!

Barney Frank is a heterophobe

2009-03-21T14:42:00.000-07:00

The Great One coined heterophobe and I love it! Here's a link to the CNSNEWS story and a vid of the dis-honorable Frank trashing the truly honorable Antonin Scalia.

Barney Frank: Antonin Scalia is a ‘Homophobe’Friday
March 20, 2009
Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said in an interview Friday on 365gay.com that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a “homophobe.”
“At some point, [the Defense of Marriage Act] is going to have to go to the United States Supreme Court,” Frank said. “I wouldn’t want it to go to the United States Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia has too many votes on this current court.”

inauguration. Obama used the same Bible..
2.Lincoln came from Illinois . Obama comes from
Illinois .
3.Lincoln served in the Illinois Legislature.
Obama served in the Illinois Legislature.
4.Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President.

Rush made this analogy today and I think it's a great one. Here are the two clips he played comparing Gov. Palin's remarks about Special Olympics versus Pres. Obama's.

Courtney Love is really nuts! And as an avid Nirvana fan (really a Kurt Cobain fan) I have always been sure that, while she didn't pull the trigger, Courtney Love certainly helped with his downward spiral of addiction and depression. I know that's a scapegoatey attitude, but she is a menace!

Excerpt:
"i am f***ing SHOCKED to see the STUPIDIDTY of some of your comments. really "kurt will always be no 1" what the F***? are you f***ing BRAINDEAD?
Kurt is DEAD. yet he owns under his ssn over 2000 properties, under a few other names even more, do you get it?
they stole HIS money were forced to use HIS surname and bought REAL property
do you UNDERSTAND?
DO YOU UNDERF***INGSTAND?"

Teleprompter gets his 15 minutes of fame...finally!

2009-03-19T16:54:00.000-07:00

I've added a new Blog site to the reel at the right--President Obama's teleprompter finally gettin' some credit. He's blogging for himself at www.barackstelemprompter.blogspot.com.

"Yeah, it's lonely sometimes being me. I'm glad I'm finally getting some recognition for the hard work I do. I mean, I'm not saying he (Obama) can't do it without me, but [laughter from teleprompter] I'm sorry, I can't finish that! Have you seen him when I'm not around? Phew! Stinky! Blech! [lots more laughter]," President Obama's teleprompter earlier today when reporters approached him after he and Obama delievered a speech to college kids and professors. The audience rushed to embrace the President, but left the poor teleprompter all by himself.

P.S. Original credit for getting the teleprompter some due credit goes to the out-there minds at IowaHawk. Check out this brilliant piece from all the way back in September! Talk about being able to sense young talent!

NBC snaps back at the angry little hobbit

2009-03-18T15:02:00.000-07:00

Jon Stewart ( real name, Liebowitz--thanks Mark Levin) actually gets called out for one of the million dumbass things he says. This article about his attack on Jim Cramer.

NBC boss: Jon Stewart's criticism absurd, unfair

By Paul Thomasch Wed Mar 18, 9:14 AM PDT

NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker fired back at comedian Jon Stewart on Wednesday, saying it was "unfair" and "absurd" for the funnyman to criticize CNBC and question its coverage of financial news.
"Everybody wants to find a scapegoat. That's human nature," Zucker said during a keynote address at a media industry conference. "But to suggest that the business media or CNBC was responsible for what is going on now is absurd."
"Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn't make it so," Zucker said, describing the comedian's comments as "completely out of line." read more.

Disturbingly entertaining...

Barney Frank is a big, fat menace to society

2009-03-17T12:53:00.000-07:00

Another face you must (unfortunately) be familiar with.

First, remember back to the prostitution scandal. Refresh!

"At the least, Frank's judgment was appallingly naive. After an initial encounter in which he paid Steve Gobie $80 for sex, the Congressman says he tried to lift the younger man out of drugs and prostitution by hiring him to run errands."

By MARGARET CARLSON;Robert Ajemian/Boston and Hays Gorey/Washington Monday, Sep. 25, 1989

Second, here's a nice editorial about the audacity of Frank from IBD.

"For Frank, perhaps more than any single individual in private or public life, is responsible for both the housing market mess and subsequent bank disaster. And no, this isn't partisan hyperbole or historical exaggeration."

Let The Inquisition Start With Frank
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted Friday, March 06, 2009 4:20 PM PT

Third, a piece basically summing the housing mess and these scumbags' affiliation with it--how Barney and Chuck should be in orange jumpsuits.

"For 16 years reformers in Congress have tried to improve oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and prevent the government-chartered companies from putting the housing market and the whole economy at risk. All that time, Frank was involved in efforts to block those attempts, and in the last eight years he was a leader of those efforts."

Frank's line about "lots of rich people left to tax out there."

If a reason exists to love O'Reiley, this clip may be it. Finally, someone calls out the banking queen...

Just another clip that makes you want to smack him.

Banking Queen, ala el Rushbo just for fun.

Let's Keep an Eye on This One, eh?

Call it what you want, but this is scary sh%*! (Oh, I just pulled a Biden!) This is the Great One, Mark Levin addressing a PRESSING issue as only he can. Please turn up the volume and pay attention.

It's Sunday! A day for rest and laughter and YouTube!!!

I could watch this all day long!

NUMBER TWO!

It's like a history lesson at the same time! What? History can be funny!

NUMBER ONE!

Ahh, memories...do you remember getting wasted with the dentist for the first time?

Obama's Love/Hate Fest with the "Super Rich"

2009-03-14T12:07:00.000-07:00

"You think I want to be eating with these peasants? Uh, yeah right. But, I must pretend to be a simple man or these buffoons won't vote for me. You understand, Warren, right? George? Save me some Wagyu and a glass of that 1978 Montrachet. I'll catch up with you!"

Why do the wealthiest of the wealthy kiss Obama's you-know-what while he reaches into their pockets and steals their money? He demeans the wealthy and proposes astronomical tax increases on them, but they are of his closest friends. He is the ultimate hypocrite and the pinnacle of arrogance in thinking (and being right about) most won't catch on to this!

Check out this article from PajamasMedia about it.

What is Wagyu?

2009-03-14T11:58:00.000-07:00

Well, this article exp lains it pretty well.

Steak is the only thing I really miss now that I'm a Pescetarian (one who eats all veggies and seafood.)

Crowds Make Me Nervous

2009-03-14T02:16:00.000-07:00

Crowds cheer Hitler and Mussolini on the Koniglicher Platz. The Italian President, Benito Mussolini, was making his first state visit to Germany. September, 1937

Ethnic Germans wearing traditional regional costumes give the Nazi salute and cheer Adolf Hitler on his visit to the town of Carlsbad in the Sudetenland, just after annexation by Germany in October 1938. Look at their faces.

A billboard poster of the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara adorns the side of a building beyond a crowd of civilians and military personnel assembled for a parade, attended by Fidel Castro. Havana, Cuba, May 1, 1988.

Look at their faces. Is it this exact same naivety that brought so many other cult-like demagogues to such scary levels of power?

Jim DeMint

2009-03-14T01:56:00.000-07:00

I don't know a lot about Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina yet, but he did get 100% Conservative rating from the American Conservative Union --- and he was the only Senator to do so.

He also recently called out President Obama on his socialist agenda, spoke concisely about the embryonic stem cell issue, helped expose and dencounced the pork barrel spending in the federal spending packages, and is one of the few politicians left who seem to grasp how critical protecting our country is.

So, get to know this face cause we need more Patriots like him and hopefully he will be around for a while.

I've Switched to Cage Free Eggs!

2009-03-14T01:50:00.000-07:00

An article from pokedandprodded.Health.com about something I think is nice to do; eat cage free eggs!

I’m Switching to Cage-Free Eggs
By Scott Mowbray March 11, 2008

I’ve been eating a lot more eggs on this diet (two, poached, 150 calories—what a deal) and noticed at my local supermarket that a dozen of the large, cage-free, antibiotic-free, hormone-free, vegetarian-diet variety (Nature’s Yoke brand) cost only 60 cents more than eggs that are entirely free of any claims to virtue—i.e., eggs probably produced by hens in factory conditions.
Heretical as it sounds, I’m not all that concerned about the antibiotics and hormones; I prefer not to eat them, but they’re not on my top-10 watch list of health concerns. But a nickel more per egg to let a chicken roam free: This seems like a steal (though it’s about a 25% premium on the total cost). Yes, it’s a somewhat romantic notion that these jaunty, dimwitted creatures should be allowed a bit of chickeny behavior during their brief strut upon this stage. But even if the hens-‘n’-hayseeds scene that Nature’s Yoke features on its website (pictured) is a bit contrived (or maybe it isn’t—maybe all the kids wear straw hats in that corner of Pennsylvania, and all the chickens are proud), the idea that we don’t have to torture animals in order to eat them—or their eggs—could use more serious discussion.

I mean that in the least pretentious way possible, too, though I hope IMMENSELY that I can make something cool enough to have an audience to be pretentious about.
