Yesterday, the US Senate spent the entire day doing absolutely nothing.
Well, that’s not entirely correct. They argued back and forth all day over a non-binding resolution to voice disapproval of President Bush and the war in Iraq. The resolution would have no effect on anything and was purely intended by Democrats to poke the President in the eye.
So a meaningless proposal went down to defeat by a score of 49-47, with Republicans voting in a bloc against it (with two exceptions, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Olympia Snow of Maine who sided with Democrats) and a few votes from the other side of the aisle standing with Republicans, like Joe Lieberman. They needed 60 votes to shove this useless piece of crap down the President’s throat. Didn’t get it.
No, most of the day was spent arguing on the floor and several Senators engaged in outright demigogery, pounding their chests and pointing their little fingers and waffling back and forth - and that was just the ridiculous show for the C-SPAN cameras. The really nasty stuff went on in back room wrangling, arm-twisting and everything short of outright blackmail and we’re not too sure of that.
This is what happens when Congress tries to run a war. I call it the Platypus Initiative, named after the most unusual animal on Earth with body parts from several animals and absolutely useless in the overall scheme of things. If the Senate continues meddling in the business of conducting war we will end up with a platypus for a solution.
And don’t even get me started on the dozens and dozens of 2008 Presidential candidates in the Senate who spent the day blowing with the wind and trying desperately to appear decisive while deciding nothing and whose ambitions teetered in the balance before the cameras.
So what was the product of yesterday’s guerilla warfare on the Senate floor? ... Absolutely nothing. Which is a good thing. Gridlock means they’re too busy to meddle in the affairs of you and me. Unfortunately it won’t stay that way. President Bush submitted the 2008 budget yesterday and it had to wait while the posturing poseurs piddled away. Now they are free to go after the budget and that means me and thee are in dire trouble. Just one word comes to mind ... taxes ...
G.O.P. Senators Block Debate on Iraq Policy
(NY TIMES) - February 6, 2007
Republicans on Monday blocked Senate debate on a bipartisan resolution opposing President Bush’s troop buildup in Iraq, leaving in doubt whether the Senate would render a judgment on what lawmakers of both parties described as the paramount issue of the day.
The decision short-circuited what had been building as the first major Congressional challenge to President Bush over his handling of the war since Democrats took control of Congress last month, and left each party blaming the other for frustrating debate on a topic that is likely to influence the 2008 presidential and Congressional races.
At issue is a compromise resolution drawn up chiefly by Senator John W. Warner, Republican of Virginia, that says the Senate disagrees with President Bush’s plan to build up troops and calls for American forces to be kept out of sectarian violence in Iraq.
The deadlock came after Democrats refused a proposal by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, that would have cleared the way for a floor fight on the Warner resolution in return for votes on two competing Republican alternatives that were more supportive of the president.
One of those alternatives, by Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, would declare that Congress should not cut off any funds for forces in the field. That vote was seen as problematic for Democrats because many of them opposed any move to curtail spending, raising the prospect that it could have attracted the broadest support in the Senate.
The procedural vote, which divided mostly along party lines, left the Democratic leadership 11 votes short of the 60 needed to begin debate on the bipartisan resolution. Forty-seven Democrats and two Republicans voted to open debate on the resolution; 45 Republicans and one independent were opposed.
The Republicans run a risk with their resistance in the event Democrats are able to persuade the public that Mr. Bush’s allies are stonewalling in the Senate and shielding the president from criticism over an unpopular war. But their show of unity, with war critics including Mr. Warner of Virginia and Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, siding with the leadership, lent some credibility to Republican claims that Democrats were being unfair. “I am confident that somehow this matter will be worked out,” Mr. Warner said.But Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, said that “time was tenuous” and that he would not guarantee that Democrats would try again to bring up the resolution. He did promise that there would be more clashes over Iraq policy as the Senate turned to measures like the president’s request for $100 billion in emergency Iraq spending. “You can run but you can’t hide,” Mr. Reid told his Republican colleagues on the floor. “We are going to debate Iraq.”

(1) Africans living in poverty, starving to death, suffering from disease and malnutrition, (2) Europeans go to Africa, open diamond and gold mines, introduce large-scale agriculture, long-term planning with global trade and modern health care, (3) Africans revolt against “white oppression”, pitch Europeans out, confiscate their lands, (4) Africans living in poverty, starving to death, suffering from disease and malnutrition.
Have I missed anything in this cycle? Is it safe to say that if the rest of the world sits back and just throws money at the African continent that nothing will change and that the misery will only increase? Was colonialism ever as bad as what is now going on as Africa reverts back to the Stone Age?
Zimbabwe Threatens White Farmers
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (NEWSDAY)- February 5, 2007, 8:25 PM EST
The official Chronicle newspaper quoted the minister Didymus Mutasa as saying police would be “unleashed” to deal with white farmers who ignored the eviction notice.
“Those farmers who do not comply with the orders to vacate the land will be dealt with severely,” said the minister, known to be close to President Robert Mugabe. The deadline was on Saturday. Farming officials said there were no immediate reports of arrests but they feared the worst.
Zimbabwe is suffering its worst economic crisis since independence, with acute shortages of hard currency, food, gasoline, medicines and essential imports. The meltdown is blamed largely on disruptions to the agriculture-based economy after the often violent seizures of thousands of white-owned commercial farms began in 2000.
Annual inflation is running at more than 1,000 percent, the highest in the world. The U.S. State Department last year put Zimbabwe on a list of six countries where restrictions on rights were particularly severe, along with China, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar and North Korea.
There were around 4,500 white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe in 2000, when Mugabe launched the program of land seizures that has seen agricultural production plummet. Now only around 400 white farmers remain—and at least 150 of them were handed eviction letters in December giving them just 45 days to leave their land to make way for new black farmers.
Mugabe says land reform was necessary to correct colonial-era imbalances in ownership. The longtime Zimbabwean leader blames the more-than-40-percent drop in production on repeated drought and Western sanctions.
Once known as the breadbasket of southern Africa, Zimbabwe has seen its status reduced to an importer of its staple maize crop since land reforms were launched. Critics say many of the new black farmers were allocated farms on the basis of political patronage rather than agricultural expertise, and lack the dedication and financial resources to make a success of farming.

First, we have Democrat John Edwards saying that if elected he will raise taxes to provide universal health care. What Mr. Edwards fails to tell you is that the biggest reason medical costs have been rising over the last few decades is due to sleazy trial lawyers taking on dubious cases of medical negligence, winning multi-million dollar lawsuits, of which they keep the lion’s share of the loot, and forcing malpractice insurance rates through the roof.
Mr. Edwards also fails to note that he was one of those lawyers who made a fortune filing medical lawsuits and used the money to win a Senate seat in North Carolina and push himself into national prominence in order to run for President so he could raise taxes to pay off more sleazy lawyers suing for malpractice. Now, do you understand ... ?
Edwards’ Health Care Plan Includes Taxes
WASHINGTON (YAHOO NEWS) - Mon Feb 5, 7:18 AM ET
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards wants to provide health care coverage for the 47 million people who currently lack it and reduce the cost of coverage for middle-class families. The plan could cost up to $120 billion a year, and the candidate acknowledged it would require higher taxes.
“The bottom line is we’re asking everybody to share in the responsibility of making health care work in this country. Employers, those who are in the medical insurance business, employees, the American people — everyone will have to contribute in order to make this work,” the 2004 vice presidential nominee said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“Yes, we’ll have to raise taxes. The only way you can pay for a health care plan that costs anywhere from $90 (billion) to $120 billion is there has to be a revenue source,” the former North Carolina senator said. Edwards said health care insurance premiums have risen 90 percent over the past decade.
Second, the Democrats as a party want to raise taxes on the so-called “rich” to pay for their pie-in-the-sky welfare programs but they fail to note that over half of tax revenue comes from only 5% of taxpayers. I wonder what would happen if John Galt organized the richest 5% of income earners in the country and led them all out on strike. Would Atlas shrug?
Who Pays Almost All Federal Income Tax?
(NEWSMAX) - February 5, 2007
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow Democrats have talked about repealing President Bush’s tax cuts for upper-income Americans. But those who earn the most money – and invest the most in the economy – are already paying almost all federal personal income taxes, a recent report reveals.
Congress’ Joint Economic Committee disclosed that the richer half of the American population pays nearly 97 percent of income taxes. Most of that, 54 percent, is paid by those in the top 5 percent, Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) disclosed.
And the richest of the rich – just the top 1 percent – pay a hefty 34 percent of all personal income taxes collected by the federal government. Meanwhile, about 14 million lower-income Americans have been removed from the income tax rolls since 2000 due to the earned income tax credit and the per-child tax credit, IBD reports.
The next four years are going to be very disappointing if the Democrats have their way. They will buy patronage with your and my tax dollars and everyone will lose. The poor stay poor and dependent on the Democrats’ money machine and the middle class and upper class will take it on the neck in increased taxes in order for the poor to continue to ride the welfare gravy train.
Sooner or later it will all come crumbling down around our ears. Inflation will rise, as will unemployment. Government spending will once more get completely out of control (as opposed to slightly out of control nowadays). So sit back and watch the American economy grind to a halt. Now would be a good time to reorganize your portfolio to be less aggressive and invest in safe bonds or mutual funds. Buying gold might be a good decision too. We’re headed for rough times ...

Through The Looking Glass
“Icy Tomb”
While at Hamilton Engineering Gil Lund spent many years working on engineering concepts and field work related to the recovery of several WWII airplanes from the Greenland ice cap. The group of 6 P38 twin engine fighters and 2 B17 bombers made an emergency landing on the ice cap while on a ferry flight from the US to England in the summer of 1942. They were subsequently covered with 300 ft of snow and ice. In 1986 a group from Atlanta, Georgia hired Gil to help them locate the airplanes and excavate them from the ice. The project lasted for many years and eventually one B17 and one P38 was recovered. The P38 has currently been restored to flying condition.

Permalink • Queer Eye For The Snickers Guy
I know most of you saw The Big Game yesterday and I imagine most of you saw all of the amusing little ads that advertisers paid bajillions to have aired. With that said, there is one commercial that is already causing a a major controversy among a certain vocal minority in our country. Can you guess which ad that was?
Was it the ads from Budweiser? Coca-Cola? GoDaddy? Sprint? Doritos? FedEx? Blockbuster? Taco Bell? ... Give up?
Well, the answer is none of the above. No, it turns out that a stupid candy bar has caused a great wadding of panties among homosexuals. There is much sobbing and wailing going on about how homophobic the ad was and how it will surely promote violence against queers (I can use that word nowadays, can’t I? After all, they use it in the title of the homosexuals’ favorite TV show!).
Here is a link to the Snickers TV ad. There you will find not only the ad but THREE other versions of the ad featuring two automobile mechanics caught in an embaressing faux pas. The page also includes interviews with and reactions from both Bears and Colts players as they are shown the commercial. You can also vote for your favorite.
When you get through looking at the silliness there then go to AmericaBlog, what seems to be a Liberal group grope with a decided anger at Mars, Inc. for airing the commercial. The first post expresses the complete and utter disgust at the ad and the homophobic attitude it apparently demonstrates.
As if that’s not enough a second post today is entitled, “Mars family, owner of anti-gay Snickers franchise, are top billionaire Republican activists”.
Now I don’t have a quarrel with John Aravosis, owner of the site (Bio: John Aravosis is a Washington DC-based writer and political consultant, specializing in using the Internet for political advocacy. He is the creator of StopDrLaura.com, Matthew Shepard Online Resources, and DearMary.com, among other activist Web sites. John has a joint law degree and masters in foreign service from Georgetown, where he studied under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. John speaks five languages and has visited or worked in 28 countries.) but it seems to be to be a tad over the top as far as reactions go.
I’m calling “BULLSHIT” on Mr. Aravosis on this one. No one, and I mean NO ONE, actually takes Super Bowl ads seriously unless they are seriously looking to pick a fight at the drop of a hat. Those ads are nothing but contrived silliness, meant to attract attention to a product. Every person in this country over the age of twelve knows that.
So get a grip, John (and the rest of the homosexual crowd too). It’s all fun and games, buddy. Lighten up and quit trying to start a war where none exists. Liberal activists like John always seem to enjoy starting fights with peaceful folks here at home but have no stomach for a fight against true homophobic madmen in the Middle East. Now, why is that?

Gambler Gives Birth on N.J. Casino Floor
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (ABC NEWS) - Feb 5, 2007
Thompson said she mistook labor pains for gas at first, but after going to the restroom told a security guard that she might be giving birth. Thompson said the guard thought she was joking. Then her water broke.
“A guard came over and said, ‘Don’t push,’” Thompson said. “I said, ‘Forget you, this baby is coming right now!’” Minutes later, a boy weighing less than 5 pounds was born. Thompson named him Qualeem.
Four security guards helped Thompson deliver the baby, wrapping the child in a jacket until paramedics arrived at about 9:40 a.m., said Steve Callender, vice president of operations at Resorts. Despite being premature, Qualeem was doing fine.
Callender, who has worked at Resorts since it opened in 1978, said the birth was a first for the casino as far as he knew. “We’ve had people die here,” he said, “but we’ve never had people born here.”

You’d think you folks had never seen Winter before.

HA! So much for Winter ...
Arctic Blast Shuts Down Schools, Trains, Roads
(CNN) - 1:19 p.m. EST, February 5, 2007
“Anybody in their right mind wouldn’t want to be out in weather like this,” Lawrence Wiley, 57, said at the Drop Inn Center homeless shelter where he has been living in Cincinnati. Monday lows in the area were in the single digits.
With temperatures near zero and a wind chill of 25 below, school districts across Ohio canceled classes. “We have a lot of kids that walk to school. We didn’t think it was worth the risk,” Sandusky City Schools Superintendent Bill Pahl said. (Calculate your wind chill)
With a temperature of 12 below zero and wind chill of 31 below, Wisconsin’s largest school district, Milwaukee Public Schools, also shut down, idling some 90,000 children. In upstate New York, 34,000 kids got the day off in Rochester because of near-zero temperatures. Schools also closed in parts of Michigan.
Even in Minnesota, where February cold is the norm and people are accustomed to coping, some charter schools closed. The temperature plunged to 38 below zero Monday morning at Hallock in northwestern Minnesota, and to 30 below at International Falls, the weather service said.
Veterinarian Wade Himes wasn’t too concerned as he ate breakfast at the Shorelunch Cafe in International Falls. “We get up and go to work, and people come and see us. I don’t think anything changes that much. [You] just dress warm,” said Himes, 69.
Grand Forks, North Dakota, also registered 30 below. “For this time of year, this isn’t that unusual, as far as temperatures go,” said weather service meteorologist Bill Abeling in Bismarck, North Dakota. “To get record temperatures this time of year in North Dakota, you’ve got to delve down in the 40-below region, so we’re not even close.”

Today is “Blue Monday”, which I seem to recall reading recently is the one day of the year when the most employees call in sick. Who are you slackers fooling? You were up until midnight last night drinking beer, tossing down chips and watching the big foolsball extravaganza. Shame on you!
Now if you were smart, like the Ol’ Skipper here, you would have scheduled a personal day or a vacation day with your boss for today and you could have slept in with a clean conscience. Yes, I snored away until about an hour or two ago and have managed to get over the effects of watching our modern gladiatorial combat in the coliseum before Caesar and all of Rome.
Like many of you have already noted here, this year’s game was pretty good compared to recent years. The Bears of Carthage jumped out early and surprised everyone with memories of Cannae. Unfortunately, Hannibal was a no-show, probably owing to heavy snowfall in the Alps during this period of global cooling. The Colts of Gaul rallied and with Manning manning the catapult dropped long bombs all over the Carthaginians.
It was a sight to behold, especially the street vendors who kept interrupting the combat, hawking their wares of dubious usefulness. They did have a lot of colorful tricks and slight of hand to amuse the crowd while the gladiators regrouped for another go at it. The only really mysterious sight was the wandering troubadour at the break in the middle of the day’s combat. Whazzup with that stupid bandana? Ave, Caesar!

Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse in Old Blighty, along comes another magistrate ("judge" for us Yanks) and frees a pedophile who molested a six-year-old girl. But don’t worry ... the honorable judge did impose punishment by telling the perverted perp that he will have to go out and buy a new bicycle for the little lass to help her get over the crime that was committed against her.
My guess is that if the perp comes before the judge again, he’ll have to throw in milk and cookies for the next little girl. And you wonder why so many Brits are headed for Canada and Australia? Pretty soon there won’t be much left in Britain but angry Muslims, perverts and the Liberals who love them. I say to all of our Brit readers, “C’mon over blokes. We’ll save a place for you here - and we’ll even provide you with a Mexican gardener ... free of charge.”
Judge Tells Paedophile To Buy Bike For Girl, 6
(TELEGRAPH-UK) - Sunday, 4 February - 12:33am GMT
Judge Julian Hall gave the 71-year-old a nine-month suspended sentence and ordered him to pay £250 compensation, telling him: “If it buys her a new bicycle, that’s the sort of thing that might cheer her up.”
Elaine Peace, UK director of children’s services for NCH, said: “Any proposal by a serving judge that a sex attack on a child can be compensated by a gift is wholly unacceptable and shows a complete lack of understanding of the severity of the effects of sexual abuse on a child.”
Oxford Crown Court heard how the girl’s mother interrupted the attack in Barton, Oxon, last July 31. Cole, from Bedford, was jailed for 15 months in 1998 for assaulting a 12-year-old girl and earlier this year admitted sexual assault on a child under 13.
Judge Hall also ordered him to attend a sexual offenders programme, and banned him from being alone with children under 16 for five years.

Pssst! Can you keep a secret? Good. The evil Donks are in hiding at an undisclosed location (a spa & resort somewhere in Virginia) and they’re plotting evil plans to destroy America. In other words, business as usual for the Lunatic Lefty Party. They’ve invited the Commander In Chief to come “talk” to them. I hope he doubles up on the Secret Service guards.
BTW, the evil Donks have barred reporters from eavesdropping on their covert conference - except during the time Bush is present and they are grilling him over an open fire ... then the press is not only invited but will also be provided with barbecue sauce. This bodes ill ....

Democrats Escape to a Resort
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (GUARDIAN-UK)) - Saturday February 3, 2007 3:31 AM
The House Democrats’ escape to the seclusion of a resort was a short-term celebration that had all the elements of a honeymoon: optimism, hope - and a disagreement that may take some time to resolve. “The war, the war, the war,’’ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, emerging briefly from the seclusion of a resort and spa, told reporters Friday.
But it’s what to do about the war in Iraq that has split the caucus. Among the questions: What should a House resolution, if there is one, on President Bush’s troop escalation say, and what should the Iraq strategy be if the president’s plan doesn’t crush the bloody insurgency there?
Democrats also have some other issues on which they’re not together, such as whether to accept a Senate-passed bill that pairs an increase in the minimum wage with business tax breaks or insist on their own wage increase-only version. And perhaps most thorny: Democrats say they heard the electorate’s demand for Congress to make laws, not just argue about issues. Are they unified enough to compromise?
Deeply divided over how much war opposition to express in any resolution on Bush’s planned troop escalation and what war or withdrawal strategy to advocate, Democrats invited some other expert perspective. Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Hoar, former head of U.S. Central Command, advised them Friday to plan for the failure of the war.
On Saturday, they were to hear from the war’s chief commander, Bush himself. Hoar, who believes the war was a mistake and has opposed the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, said he told the caucus to step in where the administration has not.
“I believe the secretary of state said that there’s no Plan B,’’ Hoar said. “I would hope that people would begin to think about the consequences of the inability of the Iraqi government to step up to these issues, and what we need to do in the region to prevent a failed state.’’
Bush will offer his views to the newly empowered Democrats in a session open to reporters. Then he retreats behind closed doors for a question-and-answer period that’s expected to be considerably more frank. Democrats have several questions ready, representative of concerns of the caucus, Pelosi said.
In talking points she left behind after a chat with reporters, Pelosi pointed out that while Democrats appreciated Bush’s visit, it was he who banned reporters from the question-and-answer session. Democrats, she said, “certainly’’ would answer questions. She did not mention that the caucus banned reporters from the compound, except for Bush’s visit.
