police to enter a poetry competition on the theme of ‘gender equality’. more pc bs
There are times, many in fact, when I re-read things I say and think ppl will read me and think I’ve flipped and gone off the deep end. Well, many times I believe that’s true. How can you not go stark, raving bonkers when you read shit like this article? How can you not think, if only those life forms could stop breathing then things could get better. Not perfect, but at least a return to something approaching normal. Problem is that normal these days is exactly what makes me so stark, raving bonkers.
Little by little an inch at a time, the left and their enablers gnaw away at what once was western civilization demanding more and more, and getting it.
As one person has commented at the Mail, 1% of the population will tell the rest of us what to believe and how to think.
Gay rights activists are campaigning to have the words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ erased from the statute book
as part of a bill to legalise same-sex marriage.
Pressure group Stonewall yesterday released a draft bill, intended as a ‘model’ for the Marriage Bill due later this year, calling for spouses to be known as ‘parties to a marriage’ to avoid confusion for homosexual couples.
The move provoked protests from critics, who say the aim of a new law would be to destroy the traditional understanding of marriage.
But even that story isn’t all. Take a look at this piece of totally ridiculous and pc bullshit that is taken seriously enough to pay the lady shown here, $126,534. Why must we pander and suck up to and indulge the left to the extent we do? By we, I surely do not include BMEWS but you know what I mean. Seems at every turn everyone is so damned worried about being perceived as anti something or other, that it’s turning many into the very people pc was intended to bury. Along with opinions.
I do not hate anyone simply because they aren’t white or LA Dodger fans.
But I sure as hell hate the left and the crowd of politically correct thinkers who have brought us to this state. I hate criminals of any stripe or color but I damned well do use the ‘N’ word when and where it applies. I don’t hate homosexuals but they are not fuckin gay they are weird. As in queer.
But hell, now they have their own flag that’s actually been flown from the staff at a police station not so long ago, in an effort to show how all inclusive the force is and in support of their so called liberation.
Do hetros have a flag? Besides the one that represents a country I mean.
Why not? Hetros need a flag damn it.
You folks just won’t believe the silly crap (no humor intended) I’ve been reading the last couple of days. And on top of all that, the spin cycle quit on the washer so everything else seems to take on sinister meaning.
We indulge the muzzies, the negros, the queers, the criminal class cos what they do isn’t really their fault, the folks on unearned benefits cos they have kids who shouldn’t be punished for the sins of the parents. True but sterilization would go a long way to reducing the payments for women who get paid by the child. Terrorists avoid being deported because this country must indulge the EU courts who worry more about their rights then any potential victims of terror. I’m just plain sick of all that crap. And sick of this too. And who would want to spend any of their off time with something like this? Another gorilla in the mist.
‘Ere, Sarge, what rhymes with gender sensitivity?
Incredulity at the Yard over politically-correct poetry contest.
Scotland Yard officers asked to enter a poetry competition on the theme of ‘gender equality’
By STEPHEN WRIGHTScotland Yard officers have been asked to enter a poetry competition on the theme of ‘gender equality’.
The prize is a chance to have a ‘coffee break’ with the Met’s head of diversity Denise Milani, who is renowned in Britain’s biggest police force for her touchy-feely initiatives.
Officers are told their poems must focus on ‘recruitment, retention or progression’ at the Yard, creating a ‘gender-sensitive working environment’ or ‘successfully managing gender-diverse teams’.
They must also provide Miss Milani, 54, with insight on the progress made with the ‘Gender Agenda’ from a male or female perspective and suggest a ‘positive vision’ for the Met.
Details of the extraordinary competition were leaked to the Police Inspector blog, prompting a furious reaction from serving officers who accused the Met of wasting taxpayers’ money.
Inspector Gadget, the anonymous author of the blog, wrote: ‘I can categorically say that this is the maddest diversity nonsense we have ever featured.
‘I would like to hear from more female officers to see what they think of this, in between making tea for the lads of course!’Miss Milani, the daughter of West Indian migrants, originally qualified as a teacher and joined the Met in 1999. She is believed to be paid more than £80,000 a year, ($126,534) although Scotland Yard refuses to reveal her exact salary.
Now this does get somewhat interesting believe it or don’t. Here. Read this.
In 2008, the Mail revealed how Miss Milani had urged Met staff to ‘celebrate’ the contribution of Roma gipsies to ‘London’s culture and diversity’.
What complete and total outrageous bullshit this ape speaks. People here who aren’t of the weepy left know exactly what those useless Romas have contributed. For example.
A mother-of-six who was jailed yesterday for claiming more than £96,000 ($152,000) in benefits while she had an ‘eye-watering’ £173,000 ($273,630) in the bank was following a gipsy tradition, a court heard.
Helen Ryan, 40, an out-of-work traveller from Cardiff, was jailed for 24 weeks after pleading guilty to the fraud.
Click the fat cow for the story.
In the past year, the second highest crime rate among foreigners in London was among the immigrants from Romania. I was surprised to read that the most were from Poland. Romanians accounted for 3,952 crimes in London. While not ALL Romanians are Roma Gypsies, way too many are. As a general rule of thumb, if that’s where they’re from the chances are quite good they’re gypos. Poles accounted for 4,742 crimes last year.
One in four crimes committed in London are done by foreigners.
A bit of background on below. The law says that the church can not deny adoption based on homosexuality. The church, Catholic, not surprisingly doesn’t agree. It isn’t a matter a church vs state in the sense that the church wants the state to make it illegal. It is for them a matter of deep religious belief and the teachings of the church. If the church teaches that homosexuality is an abomination, then how they ask can they then turn around and sanction the adoption of a baby to a homosexual couple? So, they’ve closed their adoption agencies. Which should make this guardian of diversity and multi culture very happy.
Don’t be such an ass, Trevor
By AMANDA PLATELL
The head of the human rights watchdog, Trevor Phillips, has attacked the Roman Catholic Church for behaving as though they are ‘above the law’ by refusing to place children with homosexual couples.
Thanks to Mr Phillips’s Equality and Human Rights Commission, every Catholic adoption agency in England has now closed, and adoption has fallen to a ten-year low.
Children suffering most are those who are older, more troubled and hardest to place — the very ones the Catholic agencies were so successful at dealing with. Sometimes, Mr Phillips, the law is an ass — and so are you.

Samuel L. Jackson, Racist
I Voted for Obama BECAUSE HE’S BLACK
Barack Obama’s politics meant nothing to Samuel L. Jackson because the “Pulp Fiction” star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only ... because he’s black.
In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, “I voted for Barack because he was black. ‘Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me.”
Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, “When it comes down to it, they wouldn’t have elected a [bleep]. Because, what’s a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain’t scary at all. [Bleeps] don’t have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don’t let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?’ I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, ‘cuz he ain’t gotta worry about getting re-elected.”
Another class act from the over-the-horizon left in Hollywood.

Funny, Ronald Reagan and both Bushes didn’t look like me one little bit. And I’m pretty sure no elected President has ever looked like any American woman who ever cast a ballot.

I Hate Being Patronized
The Fast and Furious story broke early last summer. It’s now nearly Valentine’s Day, and the news story, among the networks who even consider this news, is that a former agent says more government agencies were involved than LLPO Eric Holder admits to (LLPO = Liar Liar Pants On Fire). Well, no kidding. Tell us what we don’t know, m’kay?
While criticism surrounding Operation Fast and Furious has so far focused on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, three other federal agencies knew about the operation and some of their agents tried to stop it, according to the former chief of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in Tucson.
Tony Coulson, the DEA’s agent in charge of Southern Arizona during Fast and Furious, says many federal field agents knew the ATF was walking guns to Mexico, but supervisors told them to back off when they objected.
Coulson’s remarks jibe with what is already known about the operation. The DEA, the FBI and ICE, also known as Immigration Customs and Enforcement, all played roles in the investigation.
Coulson said those agencies share the blame since top officials knew, but did little to stop, the gunrunning effort. Coulson is among the first senior public officials, current or former, who admit knowing about the botched operation.
This is really annoying. And patronizing. Because anybody who can think and who realizes what a Velcroed clusterfuck of buck passing ass coverers the federal government is, can immediately see that this “revelation” is still not even half true. FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE involved? Sure. And the list goes on ...
Gun shops being strong-armed to make bulk sales to strawmen. That’s the ATF.
Guns sold to criminals. That’s the FBI.
Guns along the Rio Grande. That’s DHS.
Guns walking across the border? That’s ICE. And the Border Patrol perhaps, though so far it looks like they may have been patsies.
Several other similar programs, some in the Caribbean islands. That’s CIA and State.
Guns sold to criminal gangs of drug dealers. That’s DEA.
Gangs that are big enough and well armed enough to be a threat to the government of Mexico? Absolutely CIA and State. Can you say “junta” without a who?
Six or more law enforcement agencies working together? You know damn well DOJ is in it up to their eyeballs.
And who do they report to? No guesses necessary. The top end of the Executive and Legislative branches. Which means The White House, and probably several super select committees in Congress. It probably also involves some Spy Boys and their Costly Toys too, but that will never surface.
This stink sting operation was running in several states, so it’s a no-brainer to realize that any number of state law enforcement agencies and elected state officials were also in the know, at least to some extent.
And not one reporter ... reporters who orgasmically splooge themselves over those Watergate movies, look how we the Press connected the dots and brought down a president ... wants to lift a pen to connect dot one to dot two.
Not one of them has looked at the weapons themselves, and followed that lead. Were they actual fully automatic M16s? If they were, and they were new ones, then who approved the production run for several thousand for private sale? Machine guns are almost as tightly controlled as the Ebola virus on Plum Island. Were they military issue weapons? If so, then from where? Actual surplus, or did they “walk” off base in the middle of the night? That would bring the services into it, and yet another criminal element if those were current military guns that had been stolen from several bases. Hidden behind all the smoke and mirrors is the ugly fact that it wasn’t just guns, fully automatic or not, that walked. Grenades were involved too, and anti-aircraft weaponry. How does that not drag in the military? Is there some special branch of government that watches over the war munitions and isn’t in uniform?
This is one of the biggest boondoggle in American history, with dirty tentacles spread everywhere. In a just world it would bring down the government. No, not just Obama, but the heads of the House and Senate, the top levels of a dozen major agencies, a boxful of judges perhaps, perhaps some top military brass, and a truckload of state officials. And an army of pencil pushers and badge flashers. It would be Purge Time In Moscow, 1937, all over again. Only with real trials for good reason, in public, and the screaming hordes of citizens with torches at the gates. Because F&F is blatant proof that a secret cabal existed. A hidden government within the government, out of sight and above the law, with secret political intentions. And the housecleaning ought to be horrendous. My point is that everyone knew, from the very top to the bottom, and not one of them had the integrity or the common sense to speak up. And for that, they should all fry. ALL OF THEM.
Instead, all the average Joe Stupid on the street knows is that poor old Eric Holder is getting hassled by some committee all the time because he’s black.

RCOB Moment
Give me a little while to write this post. In the meantime, dig the One World Socialist claptrap at this link. Maybe the Constitution isn’t as popular around the world as it once was because of the global rise of tyranny and theological despotism? That the rest of the world is sliding away from freedom even faster than we are? But no, let’s not look at that. Let’s regurgitate the Obama “fundamentally flawed” horse apples line.
‘We the People’ Loses Appeal With People Around the World
[some academic study was done comparing every constitution written from 1946 to 2006 with ours. Most were really close to ours until 1980, but it all went to hell after 2000.]
“The turn of the twenty-first century, however, saw the beginning of a steep plunge that continues through the most recent years for which we have data, to the point that the constitutions of the world’s democracies are, on average, less similar to the U.S. Constitution now than they were at the end of World War II.”
There are lots of possible reasons. The United States Constitution is terse and old, and it guarantees relatively few rights. The commitment of some members of the Supreme Court to interpreting the Constitution according to its original meaning in the 18th century may send the signal that it is of little current use to, say, a new African nation. And the Constitution’s waning influence may be part of a general decline in American power and prestige.
Gee, that’s just peachy. We’re losing all our power and prestige ... by never letting our military achieve decisive victory, weak-willed foreign policy, and apologists for leaders? Heck, who needs enemies when we’ve got our own Supreme Court?
In a television interview during a visit to Egypt last week, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court seemed to agree. “I would not look to the United States Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012,” she said. She recommended, instead, the South African Constitution, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the European Convention on Human Rights.
Is this shriveled up old eugenicist commie still with us? Can’t we fire her for this kind of attitude?
But the Constitution is out of step with the rest of the world in failing to protect, at least in so many words, a right to travel, the presumption of innocence and entitlement to food, education and health care.
It has its idiosyncrasies. Only 2 percent of the world’s constitutions protect, as the Second Amendment does, a right to bear arms. (Its brothers in arms are Guatemala and Mexico.)
Now we come down to it! The universal red agenda, and the media’s permanent unwillingness to understand the 10th Amendment. Or the 1st for that matter. Or the 2nd. Or the 3rd, 4th, 5th, ... . “the right of the people peaceably to assemble” does not say where does it? Because it can be anywhere, which means you can go anywhere to do that. Ipso facto, the right to travel.
Presumption of innocence? The 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments are all about citizen’s rights before, during, and after trials. Half the Bill of Rights focuses on that one aspect, that most of us will never have to contend with. The 5th utterly puts paid to that “missing a presumption of innocence statement” for anyone who can actually understand what they are reading. No, it isn’t spelled out in those exact words, but you can’t get Due Process, no self-incrimination, the necessity of a Grand Jury, etc - in other words, the whole damn 5th - without it. Perhaps the world needs Reading Comprehension 101 instead of Our Annual Constitution 3.12.b? Nor should we forget that this document was written by white people descended from those who came here from England. English Common Law, The Age of Reason, and all that Natural Philosophy stuff. All of it common knowledge at that time. And that right is enshrined there, which any literate person then knew, or any literate person could know now if they made a bit of effort to learn ... because the socialists that run the state run, unconstitutionally federally funded school systems aren’t telling you.
Entitlement to food, education, and health care? Crivens. No, you’re NOT ENTITLED to any such thing in this country, at the federal level. See the catch? These are States issues. Moreover, in a truly free country, it is your right to starve, your right to be stupid, and your right to die of whatever disease you wish. The free citizen is a responsible one, not a line shuffling drone of the state looking for yet another handout.
So, if ours sucks so much, and is so out of step with the times, and so irrelevant, who’s is the model to follow? Why, Canada’s! That great socialist going-nowhere nation to the north. Holy cats.
Can we get a single lick of common sense in this article please?? Please???
… there is more to a constitution than its words, as Justice Antonin Scalia told the Senate Judiciary Committee in October. “Every banana republic in the world has a bill of rights,” he said.
...
“Of course,” Justice Scalia continued, “it’s just words on paper, what our framers would have called a ‘parchment guarantee.’ ”
Antonin Scalia, FTW, gold medal. Cut through all the BS and get at the truth, John Bolton style.
If you would like more refutations against this kind of leftist drivel, read this page that covers all these “missing” parts and more. They also have a pocket Constitution for $5, in case you lent yours out. I bought one because I had to stop and look up a couple of Amendments to verify that I had the wording right. I ought to be able to quote it all, chapter and verse, and rail on by the hour on what each and every part means.
This post is for you Mr. Woods, wherever you are. (he was my 11th grade teacher for Constitutional Law, the hardest class in my high school. And just about the only one that really mattered in the long run)

The Coming of the New Ice Age.
I know, those of us who where around in the late ‘70s know that global cooling was the culpritl The point that Zombie at PJ Media makes is that the left’s solution is the same:
The fact that the media and popular culture and academia have veered from one panic-inducing disaster scenario to another one which completely contradicts the first one is funny enough in its own right. But reading The Weather Conspiracy: The Coming of the New Ice Age opened my eyes to an even more significant aspect of this serial crisis-mongering:
The “solutions” prescribed to solve both Global Warming and the looming Ice Age are exactly the same.
In both cases, proponents of the theory-du-jour say that in order to stave off disaster, we must reverse the march of civilization, stop our profligate use of carbon-based fuels, cede power and money from the First World to the Third World, and wherever possible revert to a Luddite pre-industrial lifestyle.
If you want to voluntarily be a Luddite, fine. I’m actually trying to do the same thing. PERSONALLY. I’m not advocating that anyone follow my example… I just want to have a garden, cook my own fresh breads, and, if there weren’t actual laws against it, have a few chickens in the backyard. That probably screws the Luddite goal because more people baking their own bread, more people using their own ovens, oh dear, we can’t have that!
Oh, wait, do current Luddites like Al Gore follow their own teachings? I doubt Al Gore could cook pancakes from scratch,. Just had to throw that in…
No, I’m just trying to simplify my own life and cut household expenses. What YOU do is your choice. And it certainlhy should not be the government’s business.
Zombie goes on to cite an old 1961 Twilight Zone episode, The Midnight Sun:
The scenario we’re in reminds me of the classic Twilight Zone episode called “The Midnight Sun”: At first we see the characters sweltering in increasingly unbearable heat as the Earth, knocked out of its orbit, slowly plummets into the sun. Just as they are all about to burn to death, in typical Twilight Zone fashion, the lead character wakes up — she had in fact merely been having a fever dream about the world getting hotter; in reality, the Earth had been knocked away from the sun, and they’re all going to freeze to death. Ha ha — gotcha!
Just for fun, I found that 1/2-hour episode and I’m posting it in full.

Barack Obama is trying to make the US a more socialist state.
A word first about the photo used here.
I have no idea if it was shown in the USA anywhere. My guess is, if had been seen or much used, Drew and Vilmar might have been on it.
As it happens, it was in the papers here and naturally, I could not resist using it.
At first, I was going to use it on its own. But there were two very intense columns this week. One by Janet Daley of the The Telegraph, which is posted here.
There’s another I’ll get to.
I hope any Americans seeing this column and one that will follow in another post shortly, will share same with others.
Read and find out why. I have been ranting on for some time about America becoming Europa, I just wasn’t very eloquent in presenting the case.
For certain I haven’t any qualifications professionally or by way of education or career, to spout off on some of the political things I have. And not too many at that come to think about it. But I do read what people say, and I do listen to the radio here which can be quite an eye opener for an American. Or should that be ear opener? No matter. I do pay attention because what I hear and what I read in the papers is clear and is also somewhat frightening. I have said in the past that one of the things that have saved the USA so far, is our geographical size and the numbers of our population. But Britain is an island, so over-running this culture and twisting things to satisfy the left is quite a bit easier then it is in the states. But still, having said that, you’d be blind indeed and perhaps deaf as well if you didn’t believe that America could in time, go the same way. Not because I say so but because I read and hear and know for FACT that there are actually foreign groups at work inside the United States, doing their legal best to transform America to fit their left wing view and fulfill their leftist dream of a united world. Run by them of course.
If what I say bothers anyone, just ignore it all and go back to sleep.
Barack Obama is trying to make the US a more socialist state
The ideas the President outlined in the State of the Union are based on the very model that is causing the EU to implode.
What was it everybody used to say about the United States? Look at what’s happening over there and you will see our future. Whatever Americans are doing now, we will be catching up with them in another 10 years or so. In popular culture or political rhetoric, America led the fashion and we tagged along behind.
Well, so much for that. Barack Obama is now putting the United States squarely a decade behind Britain. Listening to the President’s State of the Union message last week was like a surreal visit to our own recent past: there were, almost word for word, all those interminable Gordon Brown Budgets that preached “fairness” while listing endless new ways in which central government would intervene in every form of economic activity.
Later, in a television interview, Mr Obama described his programme of using higher taxes on the wealthy to bankroll new government spending as “a recipe for a fair, sound approach to deficit reduction and rebuilding this country”. To which we who come from the future can only shout, “No‑o-o, go back! Don’t come down this road!”
As we try desperately to extricate ourselves from the consequences of that philosophy, which sounds so eminently reasonable (“giving everybody a fair share”, the President called it), we could tell America a thing or two – if it would only listen. Human beings are so much more complicated than this childlike conception of fairness assumes. When government takes away an ever larger proportion of the wealth which entrepreneurial activity creates and attempts to distribute it “fairly” (that is to say, evenly) throughout society in the form of welfare programmes and public spending projects, the effects are much, much more complex and perverse than a simple financial equation would suggest.
It is probably obvious that the people from whom the wealth is taken will become less willing to incur the risks that entrepreneurial investment involves – and so will produce less wealth, and thus less tax revenue. But more surprising, perhaps, are the damaging changes that take place in the beneficiaries of this “fairness” and the permanent effect this has on the balance of power between government and the people.
There is, it turns out, a huge difference between being provided with a livelihood and feeling that you have earned it. The assumption that all the wealth that individuals create belongs, by moral right, to the state, to spend on benefits or phoney job creation schemes (sorry, public infrastructure projects), is proving phenomenally difficult to expunge in Britain, so ineradicably has it embedded itself in the public consciousness.
In the US, it has had only odd historical moments of favour (Roosevelt’s New Deal, Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society”), which have been beaten back consistently by the dynamism of a country that sees its existential purpose as being to foster and promote individual achievement and self-belief. It is bizarre that Obama should be regarded (or should regard himself) as a kind-of European who is trying to bring a sophisticated kind-of socialism to American economic life, complete with government-run health care and “fair” (high) taxes on the wealthy. If his European credentials were up to date, he would know that this was precisely the social model that is causing the EU to implode, and whose hopeless contradictions the best economic minds on the Continent are attempting, unsuccessfully, to resolve.
A vendetta against the “wealthy” is one of Obama’s favourite themes, and it strikes a peculiarly familiar note. Back here, Nick Clegg is arguing (rightly) that a tax cut for the lower paid should be accelerated on both moral and economic grounds – because people are struggling, and because allowing them to keep and spend more of their earnings would stimulate growth. But he wants to balance this with a wealth tax or some such penalty on “the rich”. Both Obama and Clegg, by an extraordinary coincidence, used the same semantic trick to try to prove the injustice of their present tax systems. In his State of the Union address, the President slipped subliminally from the fact that his likely presidential opponent Mitt Romney paid tax at a lower rate (because his income came from profits and dividends which were taxed as capital gains) than his secretary (who would have paid income tax), to the claim that Mr Romney paid less tax than his secretary.
Mr Clegg made exactly the same charge against a putative hedge fund manager who “paid less tax” than his cleaner, neatly obscuring the fact that it was the rate of tax that was lower, not the amount which was paid. Needless to say, both Mr Romney and the imagined hedge-fund manager pay vastly more tax than their respective secretaries and cleaners. (The top 1 per cent of earners pay nearly a third of all federal taxes in the US.)
So what does this kind of verbal trick tell us about the honesty – or the desperation – of this argument? At the very least, it is crass populism designed to provoke a particularly counterproductive form of class resentment. What is needed here and in the US are tax cuts for the many, not the few, to adapt Mr Brown, and less demonising of the sorts of people who are able to invest and create the real wealth that will be our only chance for economic salvation.
Obama is clearly living the Left-liberal dream, which still survives in small pockets of American life. He wants to import the democratic socialism that Europe embraced after the war, which was, for European cultural reasons, imbued with aristocratic paternalism and Marxist notions of bourgeois guilt. But neither of these things are part of the American historical experience. The Left-wing intellectuals, including Obama himself, who adopt this language are talking dangerously uninformed rubbish: if democratic socialism was ever a solution to Europe’s problems (and the present crisis is making that seem less and less likely), it is certainly not an answer to any question that Americans are likely to ask.The United States is a country that was invented to allow people to be free of domination or persecution by the state. Its constitution and political institutions are specifically designed to prevent the federal government from oppressing the rights, or undermining the sense of responsibility, of the individual citizen. If it ceases to stand by that principle, then it will suffer a catastrophic loss of purpose and identity – as well as making a quite remarkably stupid and unnecessary mistake.
Janet Daley is American-born, but has lived in Britain since 1965. She was educated at the University of California at Berkeley (BA in Philosophy), and Birkbeck College, London (post-graduate).
She spent twenty years in academic life, teaching philosophy at the Open University, the external department of London University and the Royal College of Art. She wrote art and literary criticism from the late 1960s to early 80s, and left teaching to become a freelance journalist in 1987, writing for The Times, Sunday Times, Independent, Sunday Telegraph and Spectator.

What a load of nonsense and projectionist hypocrisy. Politics at its dirtiest, an episode of smoke and mirrors staged to create deniability that “there side does it too!!!!!!!”
Indiana’s top elections official is himself facing allegations of voter fraud.
Secretary of State Charlie White, a Republican, is in the unusual position of being the person entrusted to protect the integrity of the ballot box, while at the same time fighting seven felony charges involving allegations he registered to vote at his ex-wife’s house and served as a local councilman when he actually lived outside the district.
White has claimed he spent four nights a week living at the home of his ex-wife, Nicole Mills, because his then-fiancee, and now wife, Michelle Quigley White, did not want them to live together until they were married. Mills’ house was inside the Fishers Town Council district that White represented at the time, but he had purchased a condo outside of his district lines to live with his second wife.
White was indicted in March, accused of fraud, perjury, theft, voting in the wrong precinct, submitting a false voter registration change of address and casting a “false, fictitious or fraudulent ballot.”
“Charlie White registered to vote at a place he didn’t live. That was in contravention of the law,” said Karen Celestino-Horseman, a lawyer for the Indiana State Democratic Party, which brought the allegations against White at the Indiana Recount Commission. “It was not his residence.”
“Under Indiana law, when you register to vote you have to have the intent to make that your residence ... but he had already bought a condo,” she told Fox News, saying the condo where he really intended to live with his new wife was not in the council district.
“By not registering outside the district, he was able to stay on the Fisher Town Council and receive $1,000 a month. If he had gone in and changed his registration officially, the Democratic members would have been notified that he had moved out of the district.”
For White, it has been a dizzying journey that, at times, has seemed to leave his job hanging by the proverbial thread. But he has steadfastly maintained his innocence.
What a load of cobblers.
And where is the stalwart GOP in his state? What support is he getting from his party brothers and sisters? Friggin’ Zilch, of course. “Stand By Your Man” is a tune no Republican knows the words to.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, has called on White to resign, something White says he will not do. White has told reporters he has the support of the people, and that his case was known to voters at the time he was overwhelmingly elected.
Whatever happens, the case has already damaged the credibility of the election system, Democratic lawyer Celestino-Horseman said. “Having violated something as basic as the voter registration system does not build confidence in voters, regarding our electoral process.”
Oh boo hoo, the credibility has been damaged because of this. Oh noes!!!!11! GFY ya damn hippie fascist. You’re just as full of it as your masters at the DNC.

Taxing? Yes, and Vexing too.
“The reason I say that liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid is because we can look at what’s going around in the country today. If, in your own lives, you were pursuing policies that were destroying your own home ownership, that were destroying your own job, that were creating a massive, impossible debt for your family and your children in particular, you’d stop it. You wouldn’t keep doing it!
“And yet for the liberal, if it’s imposed on you—and they feel that they can be immune from it—they’re for it.
Ok, Ok, demand more than a balanced budget, demand a dynamic budget that never spends more than 75% of received revenue, and immediately pays the other 25% back to our creditors. Immediately, so the money isn’t there in two weeks to be borrowed by some “emergency”. This is how real kitchen table economics works: if you’re in the hole, not only do you stop digging, you do whatever you can to put dirt back in the hole. Lean, mean, and going without. And yeah, to be on the safe side, and to prepare for those real emergencies, you’re going to have to spend no more than 60% of what comes in, leaving the extra 15% on the side, just in case. Come the end of the year, and you haven’t had a real emergency, you can take the family out for ice cream. Once. Double scoop cones only, no sundaes. And then the extra cash goes against the debt, putting a few more shovels of dirt back in the hole.
And that’s the one and only way you or I can ever pay ourselves out of debt ... so why should the government be any different?

NAAAH looks for, finds racism in unreleased app
The National Association for the Advancement of Assholes (NAAAH, aka NAACP) has found racism in a smart phone app that is not only unreleased, but is still under development.
An in-development Microsoft smart phone app designed to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods is proving controversial among some minority rights groups that find the software potentially discriminatory.
The as-of-yet unnamed product is being referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app by those who are concerned with where it will guide users.
“I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens,” said Dallas NAACP President Juanita Wallace.
That’s the way to ‘tone down’ the rhetoric isn’t it? Especially after your President asked for the rhetoric to be ‘toned down’ after the Gifford’s shooting.
Wallace spent her afternoon at a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and said she felt safe there, but fears the app may project otherwise.
“Can you imagine me not being able to go to MLK Blvd. because my GPS says that’s a dangerous crime area? I can’t even imagine that,” she said.
No I can’t. It just informs you that it is a high crime area. You are free to enter the area. Nothing is stopping you!
Now, to make this a really racist app, and therefore more useful, I would include stats about white-on-black crimes vs. black-on-white crimes in the area. That would be useful!
Almost forgot: source article here.
Having reported that, last time I checked, there is still a Constitutional freedom of association. If I don’t wish to associate with assholes, jackoffs, and other assorted scumbags, that’s not discrimination. That’s freedom of association.
Ditto if I’m a business owner and don’t want AJS in my business. Or even want to hire such.
What we really need is an app that would show conservative vs. liberal areas!

Permalink • A SOCIALIST PARADISE FOR ALL BUT THE TAXPAYER
There are a couple of rcob items I’d like to share. Or maybe ‘like’ isn’t exactly the correct term here.
Pick up any paper on any day, turn on radio news (TV too I guess) and someone is going to be speaking about the economy, the cuts being made and the many protests over cuts. Unless you are personally affected the whole subject is probably a crashing bore. But hold on. Maybe not. Because what makes the subject more then interesting to me, personally, is watching this nation and culture which I had long admired, tear itself apart and commit national suicide. I do not like that at all.
I can forgive dumb mistakes because I make them all the time. But what I am seeing is no mistake. I’m no economist, I never managed to balance a check book. Not once in my many years. Maths was never my subject. But it doesn’t take rocket science to know when people have been led down a garden path and lied to. And bad as the previous left wing Labour govt. was, I don’t see great strides being made by this
coalition govt., and I don’t see evidence of the Conservative promise to alter the squatting laws. What I see is more of that and more spending outside the country while being told cuts must be made everywhere inside. Cept those cuts do not include all members of the ruling class.
Among the many cuts on tap is money for things like, national parks. In this case, the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.
Folks are angry because in order to cover the shortfall caused by the cuts, for the very first time, Dartmoor authorities are talking about parking charges. Now this is just one tiny example but added to everything else going on, it’s frustrating for the camel carrying all that straw. Speaking of straws.
IMF confirms plans to expand bailout fund to around $1 trillion, as French banks face write-downs on Greek debt.
And guess what? Britain may be forced to give 15 BILLION to the IMF. Pretty big straw that.
Unemployment is expected to reach new highs and it’s touted that by next year, they could be the highest since 1990.
No job? What? Me worry?
Not the filthy foreign slag who is shown here. Of course she’s happy. The Brit taxpayer is spending over £27,000.00 on the NON English speaking bitch.
Let me convert that to American dollars. Rounding things out, the mommy of four (don’t know where dad is or if there is one) that comes to $41,725.00 added to the txpayer’s payload, while cuts are being made in country. Foreign aid in the multiple millions continues.
The Big Issue is a newspaper for the homeless. And oh btw. Her lack of English sure didn’t stop her from getting legal help when she was first refused ADDITIONAL money.
Romanian Big Issue seller given legal right to claim housing benefit (on top of the £25,000 she already claims)
The mother-of-four currently claims £25,547.60 in benefits each year
That will rise by a minimum of £2,600 when she receives her additional housing allowance
By LUKE SALKELD
As a Romanian immigrant living in the UK, Big Issue seller Firuta Vasile already qualified for more than £25,500 a year in benefits.
But one state handout she wasn’t entitled to was housing benefit. Until now.
Yesterday the 27-year-old mother of four was celebrating having won the extra payout – worth at least £2,600 a year – after her local council was over-ruled by a judge.
Miss Vasile, whose marital status is unknown, said the benefits money would help her pay rent on her £130,000 three-bedroomed home, while she continues to earn around £100 a week selling copies of the homelessness magazine.
Housing benefit has previously been provided to Romanian citizens only if they fit into one of three categories. They must either be registered with the Home Office to work in specific sectors such as agriculture or construction, have highly skilled jobs, or be self-employed with a National Insurance number and tax registered.
Miss Vasile has persuaded officials that she should be considered as part of the third category because she uses her own money to buy copies of the magazine in the hope of selling them at a profit.
Speaking through an interpreter, Miss Vasile said she came to the UK in 2007 to look for work, but could find only a post selling The Big Issue in Bristol.
‘I can keep half of the money I take and I usually make around £100 per week,’ she said. ‘This isn’t enough to meet all my family’s needs so I asked the council for housing benefit to help with my rent. My claim was turned down.
‘I was told that because I am Romanian I could not get benefits unless I have a job or I am in self-employment. They said work for The Big Issue didn’t count. I got legal support and was helped with an appeal.’
Miss Vasile claims £25,547.60 annually in benefits. Every week she receives £326 in tax credits, £60.50 in child benefits, £49.30 in disability living allowance and £55.50 in carers’ allowance.
She would now be entitled to around £160 a week in housing benefit – although this will be reduced to around £50 due to her other income.
Unlike other European Union nationals, Romanians and Bulgarians are subject to strict employment rules in the UK because their countries were late entrants to the EU.
Their rights will be brought into line with other European member states at the end of next year.
Let me guess. Ah .... gee this is a hard one. Their RIGHTS translated means more money then allowed now.
Jackpot. For them.
Miss Vasile, whose children are 11, seven, six and two, first applied for housing benefit from Bristol City Council on November 15, 2010. It was refused six days later.
A social security tribunal ruled that she should be paid the benefits because selling The Big Issue counted as self-employment.
But the city council appealed and the case was taken to an Upper Tribunal in London last year.
Judge Mark Rowland released his written judgment on January 10 and the council has said it would not appeal again.
Miss Vasile – who has one disabled child – was represented by welfare benefits adviser Andy King, of Avon and Bristol Law Centre.
He said: ‘This is a victory for people struggling to work to support their families. Anyone who thinks selling The Big Issue on a British street in winter is a soft option should have a go themselves.’
But Chris Grayling, minister for employment, said: ‘We disagree with the court’s decision.
‘We have to remain in line with our national and international obligations. However, it is absolutely necessary to protect the taxpayer and the benefit system from possible abuse.’
But the problem is, all these folks have to do is ..... show up here and ..... BINGO!
Meanwhile, there’s this possibility to contend with.
Take a serious look at this.
Would you want a clipboard- wielding jobsworth telling your parents it’s time to leave their home?
By BRENDA ALMONDElderly people have a hard enough time in modern Britain. The private pensions crisis, the scandal of neglect and abuse in the NHS, the erosion in the value of their savings and the crippling cost of care are all increasing problems for older generations at the very time in their lives when they are at their most vulnerable.
But now an insidious new source of pressure is looming on the horizon — the growing belief within the Government that private properties belonging to the elderly should be used as a solution to Britain’s chronic housing shortage.
Houses are no longer viewed as beloved homes, safe havens, and welcome private assets for hard-pressed families. Instead, they are to be regarded as a potential source of state-run accommodation, ripe for exploitation.
That is certainly the thinking behind the scheme outlined by Conservative Housing Minister Grant Shapps, which said that local councils should help the elderly downsize to smaller properties, with their homes then rented out to families on local waiting lists.

a small price to pay for a mouse that isn’t mickey
The other day I posted something and said I thought I’d already found, at the very beginning of the new year, the dumbest moonbat thing for the year to come.
But I also said that was not writ in stone, as newer and dumber things could happen. And so it has.
Look, I do tend to be a softy about some animals. I think most of us like them to one degree or another. And we all have our preferences. For example, I prefer large dogs to those small yappy ones. With no disrespect to those of you who enjoy the company of chiwawas, although I don’t understand the attraction, I wouldn’t run after one with a bat either. Which brings me to mice.
I just don’t see every mouse as Mickey. In fact, I have never seen one like Mickey. Still, I have no particular desire to out hunting for them. On the other hand,
take a look at this. Are these folks nuts er what?
Since Garbo’s days, Scandinavia has enjoyed a reputation as liberal, stable and environmentally conscious.
Cristina Odone
Telegraph, NotebookRecently, this image has been dented.
The cult Danish TV drama The Killing and Stieg Larsson’s bestsellers convey the dark side of the north – as, alas, did the terrible massacre in Norway last year.
But at least Sweden’s environmental naivety is intact.
An SAS Airbus travelled from Stockholm to Oslo last week – with only a mouse on board.
It appears that Sweden bans sticky cardboard mousetraps – and the ones it permits proved incapable of catching the mouse, a stowaway from a US flight.
The only thing to do was fly the creature, solo, to Oslo, where it got stuck on the sticky paper.
As a half-Swede myself, I recognise that sort of goody-goody attitude.
But did no one pause to think about the mouse’s gigantic carbon footprint?

a un humanitarian ambassador. some job discription. and, nixon was what? no way.
Oh joy. Just exactly what we need.
A flaky film star “consulting” with the president of the USA. I guess that’s okay. Sort of. It gives her some kind of status. But alright. We can live with that.
What I do find that’s worse by far, is that Angelina Jolie it is reported today, has met with David Petraeus, who as you know or should if you don’t, is the director of the CIA.
The meeting was held to “discuss issues affecting Afghan refugees.” And what I wonder would she like the CIA to do? Does she have any orders for them?
Jolie we are informed, is a “humanitarian ambassador” for the UN.
Is that a job category? The UN needs a humanitarian ambassador? Does she get paid anything?
Load of rubbish.
Sometimes I think I miss the cold war. When mostly the enemy wasn’t us.
In other news briefs.
WTF?
Seems all you need to qualify as queer is to be a dead celeb when you can’t answer the slander.
Some time ago a little blurb appeared in a paper with regard to a movie about J. Edgar Hoover. A rehash of the lie that he was odd in that way. Does a man have to be married to say he’s straight? I mean hell, Oscar Wild was married and we all know about him. Brilliant writer never the less. But anyway, I guess Hoover being single led to all sorts of character muggings. Well now we have a new dead victim of the all is queer world outlook. Nixon.
Jeesh. What the hell is it with those folks? Are they trying to justify their own existence and lifestyle, by making everyone else a homosexual also?
Apparently a guy named Don Fulsom, who is a former White House reporter for UPI, claims that Nixon indulged in “cuddling” and “awkward swimming pool games with his friend, BeBe Rebozo.” He further says that Nixon once was caught holding hands with Rebozo under a dinner table.
I can’t believe a word of that but I do take note that as soon as someone famous buys the farm, suddenly there’s all sorts of proof positive that the dearly departed was actually a closet poof.
To make matters worse and play on my temper, the column writer where this stuff appears asks the question,
“Is anyone normal in America?”

There ya go
From the beginning, Occupy Wall Street was a huge progressive political Lollapalooza, an operation supported by unions and Democrats, planned and coordinated by career anarchists, and populated by students and fellow travelers. It quickly descended into a circus, a freak show, and a crime scene.
The Obama campaign, the Democratic Party, and the media colluded in an attempt to create class war in America in the pursuit of getting President Obama re-elected and ending the momentum of limited government conservatism as embodied in the Tea Party.
READ IT ALL, in staggering detail, at Breitbart. A well done essay, indeed.

it’s RACIST to use the word colored. wtf. why is that a bad word? what’s next?
I just happened upon this a minute ago. I don’t follow sports here, or as the Brits call it, Sport. No ‘s’ on the end.
But the headline caught my eye and I was going to pass on it until I realized the word was “colored.” There’s a video at the end at the link. Take look and listen.
His accent is pretty hard but judge for yourself if he said anything in an offensive way. Or meant it to be taken as ridicule based on race.
Jeesh. The stupid hand wringing bed wetters are making things worse by the day.
So then, an apology for the use of the word colored. Fucked up politically correct left wing dictatorship has taken over.
Gaffe of the day: Alan Hansen forced to apologise after making race blunder TWICE on Match Of The DayOutrage on Twitter after pundit calls black players ‘coloured’
England captain John Terry to be charged over alleged racist remarks
By EMMA REYNOLDSBBC pundit Alan Hansen is the latest to come under fire in football’s race row after making an embarrassing gaffe on Match of the Day.
The commentator - who is paid a huge £40,000 per show - shocked viewers by twice describing black players as ‘coloured’ when discussing the John Terry and Luis Suarez cases.
Fellow pundit Lee Dixon looked on in apparent discomfort as Hansen, 56, said: ‘I think there’s a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured players who are probably the best in the Premier League.
‘If you look at 25 or 30 years ago it was probably in a bad way - not as bad as some of the other nations on the Continent - but certainly there is always, always room for improvement.’
The ex-footballer had been discussing the separate allegations that England captain Terry and Liverpool striker Suarez have hurled racist abuse at other players on the pitch.
Ex-Liverpool star and broadcaster Stan Collymore was quoted in The Sun saying: ‘What colour would that be? Blue? Green? Orange?’
Although he didn’t see the incident, musician Example waded in to the debate, saying: ‘I didn’t see MOTD but did Alan Hansen really say ‘coloured players’?? Wow. Hand him his P45.’
Hansen was even labelled ‘ignorant’ and ‘overpaid’ by society blogger Toby Young on the Telegraph website - the same newspaper Hansen writes for as a columnist.
Mr Young wrote: ‘Alan Hansen, the overpaid football pundit, just dropped a clanger on Match of the Day. In fact, make that two clangers.
‘Clearly, Hansen’s intentions were honourable. But his ignorance is breathtaking. Is he really unaware that the word “coloured” has been verboten since the mid-70s?’
Hansen has now apologised, but it may come too late with fans and observers horrified at the lack of action to stamp out racism in football.
He said: ‘I unreservedly apologise for any offence caused. This was never my intention and I deeply regret the use of the word.’
