Ozymandius, With Carcinogens

gee ... how unexpected

Bankrupt solar panel firm took stimulus money, left a toxic mess

President Obama touted Abound in a July 3, 2010 announcement of a $2 billion “investment” in green energy projects.

“The second company is Abound Solar Manufacturing, which will manufacture advanced solar panels at two new plants, creating more than 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs,” Obama said [and what a lying mother fucker he is]. “A Colorado plant is already underway, and an Indiana plant will be built in what’s now an empty Chrysler factory. When fully operational, these plants will produce millions of state-of-the-art solar panels each year.”

But less than two years later, the company laid off half of its 400 workers, and then, in the summer of 2012, filed for bankruptcy. It became the third clean-energy company to seek bankruptcy protection after receiving a loan from the Energy Department under the economic stimulus law. California solar panel maker Solyndra and Beacon Power, a Massachusetts energy-storage firm, also declared bankruptcy. Solyndra received a $528 million federal loan, while Beacon Power got a $43 million loan guarantee.

Colorado-based solar company that got hundreds of millions of dollars in federal loan guarantees before going belly-up didn’t just empty taxpayers’ wallets - it left behind a toxic mess of carcinogens, broken glass and contaminated water, according to a new report.

The Abound Solar plant, which got $400 million in federal loan guarantees in 2010, when the Obama administration sought to use stimulus funds to promote green energy, filed for bankruptcy two years later. Now its Longmont, Colo., facility sits unoccupied, its 37,000 square feet littered with hazardous waste, broken glass and contaminated water. The Northern Colorado Business Report estimates it will cost up to $3.7 million to clean and repair the building so it can again be leased.

“If a coal, oil or gas company pulled something like that the EPA would send out SWAT teams and the U.S. Marshals to track down the offenders, bankrupt or not.”

Do we have standing now?

It’s my understanding that a person has to actually suffer damages before they have standing to sue the Government. Any lawyers out there?

If you’ve lost your employer-provided health insurance, you’ve suffered damages under ObamaCare.

If you’ve been down-graded from full-time to part-time because of ObamaCare, you’ve suffered damages.

If you’ve been denied employment because of ObamaCare, you’ve suffered damages.

Most of the country has standing to sue. Again, I’m not a lawyer, but I think there are several class-action lawsuits possible here.

Basket of Wimps

Pat Buchanan, right twice in two weeks.

“We told you you would lose!” wail the Beltway bundlers of the Republican establishment.

“We told you you would lose!” moan neoconservative columnists from their privileged perches on the op-ed pages of the Beltway press.

“Look at what Ted Cruz and this Tea Party people did to us,” wails the GOP establishment. “Look what has happened to our brand.” And 2014 was looking wonderful.

What a basket of wimps.

How could any principled Republican conservative vote to impose this moral, fiscal, social and technological disaster upon our country?

Here was the recommended Beltway GOP strategy:

House Republicans should vote to fund Obamacare in a clean CR. Then exploit the disaster of the rollout to show what a horror it is. This will pump up our polls and improve our field position for 2014.

Then we can pick up some seats!

Bottom line: Let’s vote to impose Obamacare on America and make Democrats pay the price of the calamity we voted to impose.

Now there may be a more cynical strategy than deliberately doing permanent damage to your country to help your party.

Right now, I just can’t think of it.

Nor can most Conservative Americans Pat. Nor can we.

We’ve been sold out, again, by our non-representatives, who only pretend to fight. John Paul Jones, where are you now?




More? Article on the gateway, which might be the worst bit of software ever written.

Makes me wonder who came up with all this crap ... the insurance company’s Underpants Gnomes?

Step 1: write giant law and enormous untested software to implement it.
Step 3: Profits! Low cost insurance for everybody!!

Yup, that works!

Occupy America

All across the country people are pushing back against Teh Tantrum. Throwing cones, moving barricades, parking where the fish cops tell them not to, and visiting our national parks and monuments without regard to Obungler’s stompy foot. Michelle Malkin has the roundup, as do so many others.

Funny thing is, despite the “furlough”, there may be more National Park Police working to keep people OUT of the nationalized places than there were before the ‘shutdown’ working to allow them IN.  Which is how DC ‘saves money’ in a nutshell.

Meanwhile, the Dems want to stick it to We The People even HARDER ...

While moderate Democrats are talking compromise, the president’s liberal base is calling for drastic measures. The New Republic’s Noam Scheiber lays out the liberal position: That Obama should reject the idea of a short-term increase in the debt limit as a gateway to further negotiations. The reason, echoed across the left side of the Internet and on liberal news outlets, is to speed the destruction of the GOP: “The sooner we have the final debt ceiling showdown, the fewer opportunities Boehner has to back himself further into a corner from which he may never emerge,” he wrote. Or, as WaPo’s Ruth Marcus put it: “Better to edge up to, or even leap off, the cliff of default disaster now than to be saddled with it forevermore.”

Blah blah blah. Who gives a damn? Whatever lies the Left spins on this - and there are dozens if not hundreds - it all boils down to de-funding Obamacare. And for that there is no backing down. So don’t blink, GOP types in DC. This is no time to go wobbly. You stand strong there, we’ll do what we damn please here. And when it’s over ... even if it takes months ... smart folks ought to be seeing with a really jaundiced eye about those hundreds of thousands of furloughed employees that we got by just fine without.  Cut the government. Cut the spending. Cut the debt. And cut Obamacare into little tiny shreds and put it in the dustbin of history, where it belongs. Then use your brains to figure out a simple, 2 page plan, for fixing the insanely high cost of medical care coverage in this country. Hell, I could do it in a paragraph

Today’s Reading Assignments 10/8/2013

Back in the ‘old days’, when the Skipper was alive and friends with Vilmar, Vilmar used to post a list of interesting news, opinion, and just plain fun stuff each morning. I’m not going to do that. But, during the current crisis, in which Barackade Obama is trying to become a Hugo Chavez clone (Don’t want to waste a good crisis), I thought I’d try to post links to important news and opinions. Important to me, anyway. You read and decide.

Vindictive Shutdown Theater

Why the Left Hates the Old

5 Examples of How the Government Thinks it Owns Everything

So, are these the people you want running your health care?

PRIDE: People Rejecting Ideas Deemed Evangelical

I’ll try to update this list as the day goes on.

Funny How O Can Find Money And Permission To Have

Illegal Alien Rally At Closed National Mall



Park Service OKs immigration reform rally on ‘closed’ National Mall

A planned immigration reform rally will take place on the National Mall on Tuesday even though the site is closed due to the government shutdown.

Organizers for the “Camino Americano: March for Immigration Reform” were spotted Monday setting up a stage and equipment on the National Mall for the rally which will take place on Tuesday.

A few scattered barriers around the park have signs informing visitors that the area is closed as a result of the government shutdown.

Susana Flores, a spokesperson for the rally, confirmed for the Washington Examiner that the Park Service will allow the event to take place under the group’s rights granted by the First Amendment.

About 30 members of Congress are expected to attend the rally, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.

The event is hosted by several immigration activist groups, together with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the AFL-CIO.




RCOB. I think the Douche-o-Meter just pegged at 11. It’s 5:30am; I can’t think of foul enough swear words to describe these people. Marine Corp drill instructors can’t think of foul enough swear words to describe these people. Feegles are left speechless by their hypocrisy. Crivens!!

“We will reward our friends, and punish our enemies” and you, me, and the rest of the people of the USA are enemies. Fucking La Raza and the open borders crowd, Beaner Nation ... those are his/their friends, so they get special treatment. Because they have more rights than you do.

image




Camino Americano is a group calling for instant citizenship for all the illegals already here. Guess what? Most of their members are illegals themselves. But THEY have 1st Amendment rights more powerful than a government shutdown.

and yet, at the very same time ... hunters are being kept out of the woods because of the same shutdown. Can’t go elk hunting, no sorry, you don’t get your tag money back. And who is keeping them out? Probably the same game wardens who would be wandering the woods checking their tags.

I can’t take this Bozo World nonsense anymore. I’m going back to bed. Displace a federal “no” cone for freedom. Push over some Barry-cades. Cut the yellow tapes. Resist. WE. Much.

Chinese have some advice for obama

Obama on the very front page. Again.  And as usual these days, not for the rights reasons.

A bit embarrassing tho to have the Chinese tell our govt. to, ‘Get a grip’.  I don’t think the Chinese have that expression but there must be something close to it, for this headline to appear.

Heck of a thing to pick up off the porch first thing in morning before coffee.

Actually, the headline made me think oh hell, the Chinese might have a better grip on things in my country, than the guy elected to office has.
Whoops ....  not a good thing.

Oh btw ...  interesting comment in a paper yesterday made more impact after seeing this front page.
An editorial said that Obama missed an opportunity that allowed the Chinese to step in and grab business opportunity the USA should have had.  The writer was referring to some meeting somewhere has to do with global business etc., and O. did not attend but I think (?) he sent someone else.  But the writer thought that since all the others were heads of state, the USA should have been represented by O, but the Chinese saw an opportunity and took it.  Can’t blame them for that. It’s what O SHOULD have been doing.

Meanwhile .... some editorial writers here are blaming the shutdown on the out of control extreme right wing Tea Party and the Republicans. Gotta laugh ppl.

Please note, the Chinese are not sticking their unwanted nose in our business on this issue.  But I’ll get back to that later.

There is something else that really ANNOYS me.  You have no idea of the bad language I’m holding back. Or maybe you do.

Is Obama smoking funny weed or has he taken up some other form of mind destroying activity. 

OK first of all, I know there isn’t one of our regulars who has a good thing to say about him.  But so far, I had not thought the guy was a total idiot. But I sure do now.  WTF was Obama thinking when ..... 

The jerk called on the Washington Redskins to change the name of the team because .... the term Redskins was .... 

RAAAAAAAAAAAAC I S T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some may not see it in the same light I do, in which case those ppl would be very left wing. 
Christ almighty .... doesn’t Obama know anything about history and why the term redskin came about?  Apparently not.

I will be very disappointed if the management does change the name just to appease the very, very few who have decided to make an issue of it.
And they don’t know history either.

OK, now back to China.

China is the US’s biggest foreign creditor, holding at least $1,273,750,496,662.38 in US treasury bonds.
The Chinese finance minister is being quoted on the radio and in the papers as saying that as China and America are the world’s two biggest economies,
“they are inseparable.”

It Is Not Futile

ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ





with thanks to Otis Boykin and Mahatma Gandhi

... and so it begins ...



OTOH ...

The Pentagon on Sunday called back to work most of its roughly 400,000 civilian employees, based on administration lawyers’ legal interpretation of the recent government slimdown.

The order was given by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, five days after roughly 800,000 federal workers were sent home after Congress failed to reach a deal to fund the government.

Hagel said the decision to recall the workers is based on a Pentagon legal interpretation of a law called the Pay Our Military Act.

So half of it is already over. Which leaves dealing with the NPS and other local automatons up to us, WTP. It’s time for the Big Reminder.

toot toot for new King Canute

Hey, maybe I’d make a good journalist after all. I thought of King Canute halfway through this article. He was the old king of England famous for demanding that the tide go out. (actually, everybody gets the story wrong; not only was he a Viking, he did the thing with the tides to show his fawning courtiers that their flattery was too much).

Anyway, now we have King Obama, having his Royal Fit ... and he’s closed off the ocean as part of it. Because he is that omnipotent.

right.

via Breitbart

Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was “closed” due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean. Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.

The Park Service will also have rangers on duty to police the ban… of access to an ocean. The government will probably use more personnel and spend more resources to attempt to close the ocean, than it would in its normal course of business.

This is governing by temper-tantrum. It is on par with the government’s ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it.

At least that Memorial is an actual structure, with some kind of perimeter that can be fenced off. Florida Bay is the ocean. How, pray tell, do you “close” 1,100 square miles of ocean? Why would one even need to do so?

Apparently, according to an anonymous Park Service ranger, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

Maybe it’s high time (or high tide?) that We the People remembered what “federally owned” actually means ... it means owned by the People. Us. We. No, up until now we haven’t bothered tipping over the folly that this was somehow different from “public” lands, also owned by the government, but somehow “allowed” for us mere proles to use. But there is no difference. Sure, military bases, CIA headquarters, etc. Don’t be a moron. But parks? War memorials? The damn bay in Florida? HELLO, MR. ALARM CLOCK IS RINGING!!

Wake up, stupids. It’s all ours.

Time for MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.  Any park, any time, any where. No, you won’t get the tour, you won’t get the donkey ride, and you’re on your own if you fall down and break an ankle. Welcome to freedom; it comes with a bit of risk.

All federal land belongs to all the citizens. Especially the parks, forests, beaches, lakes, rivers, and OCEANS. Get out there and use them. Happily, peacefully, laughingly. But use them, yellow tape or no. Barricades are for walking around.

Fuck this pissy little vajayjay and his team of raisin face crones. They’ve vajazzled themselves right off the edge this time, into total un-respectable laughing stocks.

Close the ocean! The God King is mad!!!  Pppfffft. yeah, got that one right.  BS.

plain and simple truth

A link from the comments from one of our astute readers ... well done!

Thomas Sowell on the “shutdown” ...

The money voted by the House of Representatives covered everything that the government does, except for ObamaCare.

The Senate chose not to vote to authorize that money to be spent, because it did not include money for ObamaCare. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that he wants a “clean” bill from the House of Representatives, and some in the media keep repeating the word “clean” like a mantra. But what is unclean about not giving Harry Reid everything he wants?

If Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to accept the money required to run the government, because it leaves out the money they want to run ObamaCare, that is their right. But that is also their responsibility.

You cannot blame other people for not giving you everything you want. And it is a fraud to blame them when you refuse to use the money they did vote, even when it is ample to pay for everything else in the government.

In other words, just like Buchanan says: whiny little crybabies having a hissy fit and holding their breath to punish everyone because they didn’t completely get their way.

Face the truth Dems: it’s only the Blacks who are overwhelmingly in favor of Obamacare (91%), because it’s more “gibs” for them. The rest of the country doesn’t want it (29%). Not even close to half of the non-Black Democrats want it. And Americans just aren’t going to put up with the coercive heavy hand of government falling on them, absorbing 1/6 of the entire economy, and fundamentally changing everyone’s way of live. We didn’t even get a vote on it. So screw you. “Have to vote for it before you find out what’s in it”? Bull. Shit. It becomes constitutional only by the last second flip-flop of one man, who makes that declaration based on changing the meaning of the act after saying that isn’t the Court’s duty (tax vs penalty)? Bull. Shit. Like the police who are merely our agents to enforce the law, the Supreme Court is NOT the final arbiter. It is us, We The People. And they are wrong here, and this Act is wrong, and this government is wrong, and we don’t want any of it.

So no money for your power grabbing health care tyranny. But plenty of money for the rest of the federal government; that’s in the bill that was approved. So don’t soil your diaper and cry how it’s our fault. You’re the one doing this, and you’re doing it out of spite. Because you’re a douche, not a president.

As Usual, The Brits Are Wrong

To quote from the link in Peiper’s post below ...

While the House of Representatives was voting late on Monday night, by sheerest coincidence I was watching the Oscar-laden Lincoln on telly. Waking to news of the government shutdown yesterday, it was impossible not to marvel anew at the Republican Party’s development.

The film deals with the period leading to the House passing the 13th amendment which abolished slavery in April, 1865 – and a century and a half later, so absolutely does the party of Honest Abe disdain the authority of the first black President that it has paralysed the government in a bid to delay the introduction of what it calls Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act). Such is progress in the crazy, crazy world of the GOP.
...
The catastrophe belongs to a Republican Party which will rightly be blamed for once again using terrorist tactics, as with the debt ceiling crisis of 2011, to challenge the authority of the first black President.

First off, FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING BOLSHEVIK COCK SUCKING BRAIN ROTTED ZOMBIE FUCK.

Oops, sorry, had an Eddie Bear* moment there, some flash outrage over the disdainful patronizing gak above that implies that Republicans should obey a President merely because of his skin color, which is perhaps the most insulting reverse racist thing I’ve ever read.

But of course, when the English hold a mirror up to themselves they see “Ameracur” as they say it, and like objects in the mirror, what they see is exactly backwards.

And speaking of backwards, here’s Pat Buchanan, who, like a broken clock, is right twice a day. And here’s your real truth, plain and simple:

This Is All About a Petulant President

In the showdown over the shutdown of the U.S. government, the Obamaites tipped their hand yesterday as what their strategy is.

Taking a page out of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” the plan is to maximize the people’s pain — to maximize the political damage to the enemy, the Republican Party.

What else explains it?

...

Undeniably, Republicans have voted to defund Obamacare, to suspend it for one year, and to reform it. But in each of these three votes, the House also voted to fund the entire government.

Why, then, is the government shut down? Because Harry Reid and Barack Obama have issued an edict: Either Obamacare is fully funded and untouched in the continuing resolution, or we kill the CR, shut down the government, and blame you.

And this is exactly what is going on.

This is all about a petulant president whose prize program the people do not want, but who insists it be imposed upon them, to assure himself a paragraph in the history books.

This week, Republicans tried to pass legislation that would keep open all memorials and monuments, all tourist sites in Washington, D.C., and all programs for America’s veterans.

Who stonewalled that? Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Why would Reid sabotage the funding the National Institute of Health.

Why would Reid sabotage what is transparently a humanitarian act?

Again, Reid and Obama do not want to ease the pain of the people. They want to intensify that pain, ratchet it up, maximize it, to put maximum pressure on and do maximum damage to the GOP.

The Obama-Reid strategy is, in a word, sadistic.

Don’t listen to idiots from across the pond. We have plenty of our own idiots to listen to. And sometimes they’re even right.

Our pResident and his top minions are having a temper tantrum, and forcing hundreds of thousands of worker bees to kick their feet and spill their porridge along with him.

So let’s send them to bed without their suppers, and if it continues, out comes the slipper.

* [ Eddie Bear? Was that his name? the guy with the 4 word vocabulary who took over McGoo’s blog for awhile? I deleted the link at that point and can’t remember. Really emphatic, but after 2 nearly identical posts, really boring. ]

A ‘Must Read’ article…

I seriously urge everybody to just say ‘NO!’ to ObamaCare. Don’t participate. Don’t sign up. Don’t pay any fines or fees. Don’t even file tax returns if they ask about your health insurance.

Here’s that ‘must read’ article.

Dead Or Crippled, As Promised

Obama’a Uncontrolled EPA Moves To Kill Coal Industry

Because America has a coal supply good for more than 500 years ... so let’s not use it ever again. That’s the way to attain energy independence. Along with no new nukes, no fracking, no Keystone XL, and who really knows how many dead or inactive wind turbines. Is it El Residente’s goal to dig us so deep into the Pit we’ll never get out? Sure seems that way sometimes. Often. Every damn day as a a matter of fact.

New clean-energy rules pushed through by the Obama administration are raising concerns that they could cripple the coal industry—and may require power plants to use technology so risky that even the president’s former top energy official once warned it could “kill.”

The EPA, by Friday, is expected to release a new proposal to set the first-ever carbon dioxide limits for new power plants.

To meet those emissions caps, power plants would likely have to use what is known as “carbon-capture technology,” which involves burying the carbon underground.

The technology, which is still under development, remains expensive and not commercially available. But there are lingering safety risks.

Their idea is to capture all the CO2 and store it in underground tanks. Because, OMG, don’t give it to any plants or anything, that could benefit from it and absorb it. Nope, just store it up and create a deadly hazard, just waiting for a bit of mismanagement, rot, or lax attention.

Not the sharpest pencils in the bin, even at $35 a pop.

But we need to act now!!. To fight the naturally occurring Climate Change, which has been going on, probably cyclically, for billions of years!

One somewhat safer idea is to lock up the carbon chemically, but no real details are given in this article. Hey, why not make calcium carbonate? Is that hard to do? Take some of the excess government purchased milk, power the process with government purchased solar energy, or heat things up with government purchased ethanol, and bind up thousands, millions, of tons of carbon dioxide. And then ... since this is the stuff that clam shells are made of ... start ramping up clam, oyster, and mussel beds like nobody’s business. And restock the bays and estuaries everywhere. Not only would we get free Raw Bar for everyone, all those bivalves would actually clean up the water. Win win for everybody! Woo hoo!!*

[ * This probably won’t actually work. You need an extraordinarily large source of pure calcium to make up calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Which is otherwise known as limestone, chalk, or clam shells. And it’s pointless to derive the calcium from other sources where it’s already bound up with carbon dioxide.

3 Ca + 6 CO2 + energy ---> 3 Ca + 6 C + 12 O ---> 3 CaCO3 + 3 C + 3 O ---> 3CaCO3 + 3CO. Oops. CO is carbon monoxide, a poison gas.
6 Ca + 6CO2 + 3 O2 + energy ---> 6 CaCO3. This is better, but you can see that it needs extra oxygen. In other words, making calcium carbonate from calcium and carbon dioxide is a rolling process that depletes oxygen from the air. I think. I haven’t balanced a chemical equation since high school. 

And, once you make all the stuff, how you feed it to the clams is beyond me. ]

Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
