stop playing the petty politics of yesterday
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) speaking to the council of mayors, at the NJ League of Municipalities meeting, using the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid analogy:
We need to understand we are all in this together. And you know, all of you know in your heart, what I am saying is true. You all know that these raises that are being given to public employees of all stripes, we cannot afford. You all know the state cannot continue to spend money it does not have. And you all know that the appetite for tax increases among our constituents has come to an end.
And so the path to reform and success is clear. We know what it is. We just have to have the courage to go there. What we are doing is showing people that government can work again for them, not for us. Government has worked for the political class for much too long.
There’s no time left. We have no room left to borrow. We have no room left to tax. So we merely have room left now, to do this. We are all reaching the edge of a cliff. And it reminds me a bit of that part of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid where the had a seminal decision to make. So what did they do? They held hands and they jumped off the cliff.
We have to hold hands at every level of government, state county, municipal, school board. We have to hold hands and jump off the cliff.
I firmly believe we will land and we will be fine. It does not mean it will not be a scary ride on the way down. And it does not mean there won’t be moments of fear and moments of apprehension.
But for certain, the troops of the decades of overspending and overborrowing and overtaxing have gained on us. And they are armed and they are ready to get us. So the ruination of New Jersey’s economy, and of the quality of life we want all our citizens to have, is certain if we don’t take this course. So I hope that makes the decision for all of you a lot easier.
It’s time for us to hold hands and jump off the cliff. It’s time for us to do the difficult things that need to be done and to stop playing the petty politics of yesterday, of pitting us against each other, of setting up false choices, of lying to people and telling them they can have what they want and do not have to pay for it because someone else will. Someone who’s smarter or richer or more successful, or telling them that this is just the price you have to pay to live in this state.
We are going to make the leap because that’s what people elected me to do. We are going to make the leap because it is the responsible thing to do. We are going to make the leap and we are going to do it together because that is what leadership demands for us. That is what the responsibility of the offices we hold requires of us.
Forget about the next election. Forget about the next editorial in the newspaper, and forget about the next angry letter or phone call you are going to get from someone who wants something for nothing.
He did the whole thing without a teleprompter too. Not even notes written on his hand. Not much emotion, no grand physical gestures, no mighty soaring rhetoric. Just the truth.
Now let’s see him swing that axe, and start chopping. And keep chopping. Let the chips and the blood fall where they may.
When I went into the treasurer’s office in the first two weeks of my term, there were no happy meetings. They presented me with 378 possible freezes and lapses to be able to balance the budget. I accepted 375 of them.
My God, I think we elected a Conservative. And Christie was the middle of the road guy during the Republican primary! Steve Lonegan made him look like Casper Milquetoast.
A partial transcript can be found at Mish’s, and the video, all but the last 20 seconds of it, can be found here at NJN Online.
NRO thinks he’s been drinking the truth serum.
Ace agrees too. Gosh.
Moe Lane notes that Christie is carrying a 52% approval rating in this blue to the bone state, and seems to think this guy could actually be from Texas.
Texas? Cha. How do youse freakin say “yee freakin ha” wid a freakin Texas accend? Maybe we should loin how.

SARA HAS SIGHT ON WHITE HOUSE BUT MINUS THE PARTY. TEA THAT IS. ??
SOME COMMENTS ON PALIN by people who don’t know the USA and wouldn’t learn if given the chance.
A Molly wrote:
I do believe everyone in life gets what they deserve..so if Palin is what America wants, so be it. I am not going to lose any sleep over it.
All I can do from here is hope that Europe will never again be fooled by the lies that have come out of America in the past and will never lead our troops into another 8 years of war on their behalf.
Let the cowboys fight their own battles in the future.
If it’s in Palin you trust, well good luck to you!
Ellie Light wrote:
Sarah Palin is a proven quitter, with little experience and even lower inate intelligence (I can see Russia). Her only accomplishment is that she can reproduce, but even that she did not do properly. She is not even a good mother, raising a daughter that breeds an illegitimate grandchild. She is a joke. Her only supporters are gap toothed inbreds from Appalachia.
And that’s about as kind as it gets here among the comments from ppl foreign and domestic with regard to Americans (who they take to be war loving, ignorant, inbred hillbillys) who led them into an 8 year war ongoing. The suggestion is also made that America should fight it’s own battles and not drag others into our quarrels. Some see Palin as “Bush in a wig.”
Tell the truth, the comments section is more interesting then the article but also more aggravating because they also show how little they know us, and how mean spirited some folks can be with regard to the USA.
There was a column recently from America reporting on the trend Obama seems to be setting, that the writer feels is somewhat isolationist. Which he doesn’t believe to be a good thing. Being something of an isolationist myself, I wondered if that’s a bad thing. Is Barry doing something right? Nah. In my dreams. But I’ll be honest no matter how bad it might make me look. I wish we could be isolationist and circle the wagons and tell the world to go to hell.
Americans have enough home grown problems to deal with. Serious problems that I don’t see being resolved no matter who’s in office. We mostly aren’t getting along very well with each other, who needs the additional headache of arguments with people outside our own country?
Back to Mrs. Palin for a moment.
She was paid a hefty sum it’s been reported, to address the Tea Party folks in Nashville recently. As I understand it and if I don’t I know BMEWS will correct me, she also accepted a second speaking date with the TP. BUT ... she has also appeared FREE on behalf of Republicians who have different views then that of the Tea Party Congress. She has also agreed to speak on behalf of Sen, McCain. Why? He surely isn’t running for anything. Is he?
Sometimes I get to feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Here’s part of the article and as always the rest is at the link below.
Sarah Palin has her sights on the White House not Tea Party movement
Giles Whittell in Washington
The TimesSarah Palin has given the clearest indication yet that her ambition is to become President of the United States, rather than merely the leader of the radical grassroots Tea Party movement that adores her.
The day after her return to national politics with a barnstorming attack on President Obama in a speech in Nashville, Mrs Palin was shown a poll yesterday ranking her the top Republican candidate for 2012 and asked if she would run.
“I would,” she said without hesitation. “I would, if I believed that that was the right thing to do for my country and for my family.”
In an interview with Fox News, for which she is also a paid analyst, Mrs Palin said that it would be “absurd not to consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country”. She said that she would not “close a door that could perhaps be open to me in the future” and acknowledged that she had started receiving daily political and economic briefings by e-mail from a panel of Washington experts.
In oblique reference to a disastrous pre-election interview with CBS in 2008, she added: “I sure as heck better be more astute on these national issues than I was two years ago.”

Keep that snowball rolling!
New Jersey Gov.-elect Christopher J. Christie nominated school-choice advocate Bret Schundler yesterday to head his education department, sending his strongest policy and political message yet with a Cabinet appointment.
The former Jersey City mayor has long-supported alternative education programs such as vouchers and school choice, as well as the less controversial charter schools.
Yesterday, Schundler struck a note of cooperation with potential adversaries, saying, “We have political leaders on both sides of the aisle willing to make changes that will make a difference in the lives of our students.”
Schundler has run for governor twice on a firm conservative platform, citing the success of charter schools in Jersey City. As mayor, he gained a national reputation for cutting taxes and unemployment in the Hudson River city.
Unions are wetting their britches, but trying to do some CYA.
The NJEA argues that increased government support of charter schools and other alternatives would divert funds from public schools, weakening them. It ran television ads and sent literature attacking Christie’s positions during the campaign, which he referenced yesterday.
When asked at a Statehouse news conference what sort of message the Schundler selection sent to the teachers union, Christie said, “I don’t think the appointment of Bret Schundler sends any signal to the NJEA. The election of Chris Christie sends a message to the NJEA.”
Christie campaigned saying he supported charter schools, as well as allowing students in failing public school districts to attend public schools in districts open to them. Haddonfield, for example, accepts tuition-paying students from Camden.
Christie ran to the right in the Republican primary, where he faced unexpectedly strong opposition from Steve Lonegan, who is more conservative than Schundler.
Political scientist Joseph Marbach at Seton Hall University said that with the Schundler choice, “Christie’s living up to his promise that he was going to shake things up in Trenton.”
And that was just one appointment. Within hours of being sworn in, the new governor stopped Trenton cold for 3 months, put a collar on the unions, and outed outgoing governor Corzine’s sneaky back door money transfer scheme and his lie about the state’s revenue flow.
In his first news conference as governor, Chris Christie signed eight executive orders which ranged from making pay to play rules apply to unions and suspending for 90 days new state rules and regulations. He also disclosed that the Corzine administration had figures showing the state’s anticipated cash flow is $1 billion less that what Corzine publicly acknowledged. And that, he told my colleague Mike Symons, means the state could be unable to make payroll even sooner than the March date previously discussed. All of this, Christie said, will be taken up with his advisors tomorrow. Christie said Corzine’s treasurer, David Rousseau — “the latest member of the Mercer County Tax Board” — stalled turning over the figures despite repeated requests. The governor also said the Corzine crowd moved the $121 million to the so-called distressed cities via wire transfer before Christie took the oath of office so he couldn’t stop it.
Give ‘em hell ‘guv. The party is just beginning.
Republican Chris Christie was sworn in Tuesday as New Jersey’s 55th governor, vowing to deliver the far-reaching change he said voters elected him to bring about.
“You voted loudly and clearly for change, and you have entrusted us with what may be our last, best hope for a stronger New Jersey — the New Jersey of our youth, full of hope and opportunity,” Christie said in his inaugural address. “New Jersey, you voted for change and today change has arrived.”
Christie takes over a state plagued by the nation’s highest taxes, a deficit that could hit $10 billion by July and unemployment near 10 percent.
His swearing in marked a reminder of President Barack Obama’s vulnerability on the same day another Northeastern election threatened to derail parts of his agenda.
...
He seized on the dual themes of voter discontent and change in his 33-minute inaugural address.“Rarely in New Jersey’s history have we faced the challenges we face today,” Christie said. “There is fear and uncertainty. But fear and uncertainty are not necessary and do not have to be permanent. We have the tools for a brighter future, if we change direction.”
...
Christie will sign his first executive orders Wednesday that increase the state’s fiscal transparency.
...
[newly elected lieutenant governor] Guadagno praised Christie for selecting her as a running mate and noted that there were now two former federal corruption prosecutors running the state.“Chris Christie has made us believe again,” she said, then joked: “Heck, look — the Jets are in the playoffs!”
Now ... that last one would take a real miracle!

Oh Great
Ladies’ Choice?
I put up a little post on Massachusetts Senate candidate Scott Brown (R) the other day. Just being a tad snarky I mentioned that he also has good hair.
What I didn’t know then was that ... that remark seems to apply everywhere! (link is 100% SFW)
So, is this going to hurt his chances, or make him seem a bit less stuffy than the stereotypical Republican? Will it help his popularity? This is the 21st century after all. Sure, sure, content and character. But didn’t we see him in one of those Axe Body Wash ads last year?
Original article has larger picture. The gossip pages haven’t cottoned to this one yet. I dug through the top 4 sites, and while I learned that Donald Goerke, the guy who invented Spaghetti-O’s has died at 83, and that J. Love Hewitt went on TV to tell the world that she Bedazzles her ‘jayjay, not a word on this bit of “breaking news” at those places. Media bias - it’s everywhere!!

Sarah Palin To Resign
what the heck is going on?
Palin Quits as Alaska Governor
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Friday that she is stepping down at the end of the month, setting up a potential run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.[Ok, maybe. But is that wishful thinking or what?]
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shocked the political word Friday by announcing that she will step down at the end of the month and transfer power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell.
Palin made the announcement from her home in Wasilla, flanked by her husband, Todd, and family and state commissioners.
The announcement came on the same week that one of her top public health officials says she was forced out of office because Palin felt she wasn’t in step on social issues.
Palin’s decision now allows her to avoid the difficult task of running for president while serving as governor.
Todd Palin told FOX News that his wife will concentrate on “doing the things for Alaska and the country” that she is passionate about and can not do as governor with the limitation and constant opposition she deals with within the state.
Maybe she is gearing up for a Presidential campaign. I guess Wait & See is the only thing we can do.
Lots of speculation over at Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, and The Anchoress, to name but a few.
“I know when it’s time to pass the ball for victory,” soon-to-be-former Governor Sarah Palin says at a press conference with her family, standing before a picturesque river and seaplane.
She says she’s looking forward to the swearing in of Lt. Governor Sean Parnell. “All I can ask is that you trust me with this decision,” she says. “I cannot millions of dollars and time go to waste just so I can remain as governor of Alaska.
“This decision has been in the works for a while. It comes after a great deal of prayer and deliberation.”
She said when she put the decision to her family, the vote was four “yes"es and one ‘Hell yeah.’ She mentions the family’s reaction to the mockery of Trig.
She said her decision was “fortified during her visit to the troops in Kosovo.”
“It hurts to make this choice, but I’ve given my reasons. I’m reminded of a sign on my parents’ refrigerator, ‘Don’t explain; your friends don’t need it, and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.’”
Read the rest here, including The Official Announcement:
Governor Sarah Palin announced today that she will not seek a second term as Governor of the State of Alaska and will relegate the power of governor to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell in order to serve Alaska’s best interests. Lieutenant General Craig Campbell will move into Parnell’s current role.
“People who know me know that besides faith and family, nothing’s more important to me than our beloved Alaska,” said Governor Palin. “Serving her people is the greatest honor I could imagine.”
Standing outside her home in Wasilla, Alaska, Governor Palin reflected upon some of the administration’s accomplishments for Alaska as she approaches her final year in office.
“I am determined to take the right path for Alaska even though it is not the easiest path,” said Governor Palin after the announcement. “Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional ‘Lame Duck’ status in this particular climate would just be another dose of ‘politics as usual,’ something I campaigned against and will always oppose. It is my duty to always protect our great state. With that in mind, my family and I determined that it is best to make a difference this summer, and I am willing to change things, so that this administration, with its positive agenda, its accomplishments, and its successful road to an incredible future, can continue without interruption and with great administrative and legislative success. I look forward to helping others – to fight for our state and our country, and campaign for those who believe in smaller government, free enterprise, strong national security, support for our troops, and energy independence.”

A Bad Time To Call
So I’m sitting here at the computer, with half a dozen .pdf forms open, trying to get my taxes done, hoping that I can get my bottom line small enough so that the check I mail in won’t bounce.
And the phone rings. It’s this guy from the Republican Party, who wants me to send them some money. “Oooh, now we’ve got Michael Steele and how much they need my support what with the crazy budgets the Democrats have rammed through and ... “
I cut the mother off at the knees. Bad time to call dude.
I gave him both barrels, and told him everything that was wrong with the GOP going all the way back to Nixon. All the broken promises, from Reagan getting rid of the Department of Education, to the failed Contract With America (anybody remember term limits?) right up to weak foreign policy and through the greed, corruption, and pork barrel spending of the current crop. How today’s Republicans aren’t Conservatives by any stretch, and shut up already with the abortion issue you’re never going to overturn Roe, how they’re all actually Democrats who only appear conservative because all the Democrats are now Socialists. And so on and so on. I apologized to the guy, because he’s just doing a job, but I let him know that if the ‘pubs wanted another dime out of me that they’d better man up and git ‘er done. And then I told him just what “‘er” meant, from border security to lower taxes to a greatly smaller federal government that stayed within it’s constitutional bounds to overturning Kelo to thinning out the crazy amount of stupid laws to better tax policy to responsible spending and accounting practices to keeping the damn Democrats the hell out of our primaries, which is what gave us Juan Fucking McAmnesty (yes, I said exactly that) who isn’t even a Republican much less a Conservative, oooh, I’m a Maverick!, sure I’m proud of his military service but that was a long time ago and I won’t forget how he sold Sarah Palin down the river and ran the most limp dick campaign since Bob Dole. And, yippity fuckin yahoo, we’ve got Michael Steele, a black guy. Why is it that he’s almost the only black guy in the party, when it was the Republicans who were founded to eliminate slavery, it was the Republicans who got the 14th and 15th Amendment passed when every last Democrat voted against them, it was the Republicans who forced through the Civil Rights Act etc etc, right up to Bush and his No Child Left Behind which should have raised the education standards all over the country even in the ghettos but all we ever heard was that he didn’t fund it, even though he did even though funding education is none of the federal government’s damn business and the wishy washy GOP has allowed themselves to be demagogued as the party that only cares about big business and doesn’t like black people, hell it was said they even sabotaged the levies in the 9th Ward so they’d all drown, and not one of them had the guts to say what a crock that statement was?
He was laughing his ass off on the other end of the phone. I apologized again, and told him he was going to have an awful lot of responses like mine. He said that part of his job was to pass comments along. So I told him that when the Republican party got over being Upper East Side Gentlemen and started fighting fire with fire against the Democrats - who lie, cheat, steal, rig elections, plus the whole corrupt ACORN mess, AND the financial breakdown that is heavily their fault and thieves like Dodd are getting away with it scot-free, and they have brainwashed generations of technically savvy young people into mindless leftist minions - THEN maybe I’d think about it. But only after I saw some REAL PROGRESS against some of my outlined issues. And I’m not seeing any progress at all on any of them, AND I didn’t see any of it when Bush was in the White House, EVEN WHEN the GOP had control of the House and the Senate. Find me a stand up guy who can talk the talk and walk the walk and get things done, hey maybe Bobby Jindal?, then they’d see some money from me. Until then, save yourselves the cost of a phone call and don’t bother me.
Well, I feel better now.
Remember, Buy A Gun Day is tomorrow. If you can find one to buy. My wife did her taxes and can rationalize buying a nice piece. All I have left in my bank account is some of Obama’s loose Change.

GOP Critique
On Michael Steele:
He says the Republicans have given African-Americans “nothing.” THE PARTY THAT ENDED SLAVERY, that was instrumental in giving African Americans the vote in spite of everything Democrats could do to stop it? (Remember the schoolhouse door, Mr. Steele? Remember Bull Connor and his dogs? Remember Robert Byrd THE DEMOCRATIC KLAN RECRUITER and his Senate filibuster of the Voting Rights Act?) The party that INVENTED affirmative action under Nixon? THAT Republican party? It wasn’t the Republicans’ ‘New Deal’ that destroyed an entire generation of black small businessmen and farmers, Mr. Steele. The National Recovery Administration that blacks in the Depression called ‘Negroes Robbed Again’ wasn’t a GOP invention. If you’re going to lead this party, you should know these things.
What are we paying these people for?

GOP Anniversary
The Republican National Committee is 153 years old today. Nearly as old as Senator Arlen Spectre (Idiot-PA) and Senator Robert C. Byrd (IV Dynasty Mummy - WV).
Republicans from many state parties held their first national organizational meeting in Pittsburgh on February 22, 1856.
Hooray. Woo hoo. Now get back to work and put the country back on track, you blighters.

Taking A Tip From Trump
Steele Cleans House at Republican National Committee
Newly-elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has requested mass resignations at the institution, which has about 100 staff members.Michael Steele, the new chairman of the Republican National Committee, has asked the entire staff to resign, FOX News has confirmed. The move signals Steele’s plan to reshape the party, which was trounced at the polls in 2006 and 2008.
As a black man from Maryland, a traditionally Democratic state, Steele has already brought a new face to the party. The RNC has about 100 staff members, many of whom have been told that their last day on the job will be Feb. 15, a Republican source told Politico, which reported the story Thursday morning.
Some aides may stay on, the source said, but several senior aides who were expecting the changes voluntarily submitted their resignations soon after Steele’s election last week.
President Obama’s new team made a similar request at the Democratic National Committee.
Steele, a former Maryland lieutenant governor, won the chairmanship last Friday. In his first speech as chairman, he pledged to bring change in an effort to re-establish the GOP presence in the Northeast and win elections in regions across the country.
“It’s time for something completely different, and we’re gonna bring it to them,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Get ready, baby. It’s time to turn it on.”
So does this mean there are job openings? Hire me. I already have a slogan you can use. Take back the Right. Nifty, what what? It’s a play on that mostly worthless annual campus awareness raising festival of mock-feminism “Take back the night”. Plus it has a built in double meaning: return the party to it’s roots AND give the citizens back the America we’re supposed to have. See? I’m inventive, full of ideas, and have a proven grassroots track record as a Conservative Blogger. Hire me.

GOP Comeback: A New Beginning
Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, wins the chairmanship after six rounds of voting in which five candidates were competing.
The Republican National Committee has picked Michael Steele, a black man from a traditionally Democratic state, to be the new face of the party as the GOP forges a revival following a second consecutive electoral drubbing.
Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, won the chairmanship Friday after six rounds of voting in which five candidates were competing. He becomes the first black chairman of the Republican Party just days after President Obama became the nation’s first black president.
Steele delivered a rousing speech after winning the hard-fought race, pledging to re-establish the Republican presence in the northeast and win elections in regions across the country.
“It’s time for something completely different, and we’re gonna bring it to them,” he said. “Get ready baby. It’s time to turn it on.”
And Fox News has already blown it. The REAL first step in our new Obama-enlightened post-racial society, is to not ever mention that this person is black. Or even male. None of that matters or needs to be said. Besides, all you need to do is look at the picture to figure that out. The New Conservatives should should a highly diverse front, and not even mention such things. Content of their characters and all that, done honestly, and not as a weapon. Throw out the entire deck of race cards, sex cards, gender alignment cards. We have moved so far beyond that nonsense (that the backwards Dems cling to and carry on about in an infantile way) that we don’t even notice it.

Reason 12,811 Why McCain Lost
Speaking about the people Obama has nominated for various offices:
Mr. McCain, meanwhile, has told colleagues “that many of these appointments he would have made himself,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and a close McCain friend.
This once again proves that the American people were given a choice this past November between a young hip leftist, and an old crotchety leftist. They chose the one with some energy. That’s all.
Are you listening GOP? If we stuffed your ass with a billion dollar bailout, could you actually buy yourself a clue? Here, take this baseball bat and start hitting yourself in the head, and repeat after me:
[Whack] John McCain is NOT a Conservative. John McCain is NOT a Republican. [Whack]
Repeat until unconscious. Wake up, and repeat hourly.
Eventually the message will either get through, or you’ll be dead. It’s no great loss either way.

She’s a better man than I am
RE: Ann Coulter discussing her new book, and defending her theories. On The View.
Horry Clap. Un. Fleakin. Believable.
I dare you to watch the whole video, with the sound on. I dare you. It’s below the fold. Watch it all, and don’t scream, yell, swear, get mad, smash anything, hit Pause and walk away ... nothing. Just stick to the facts and keep your cool. Go on, go for it.
If I were her, I could not have done it. The temptation to clock some of these birds would have been irresistible. Especially Whoopie Cushion and the two braying dingbats to her right. Surly old Baba Wawa I could have handled. Hell, it was difficult for me to even hit the Play button, because I knew what was going to happen. And it did. And Hasslebeck - is that her name, the sole “Conservative” on that Panel o’ Wisdom? - sat there like a voiceless pouty lump the whole time. She may be cute as a button, but she wasn’t hardly any help here at all. Thanks for nothing Lizzie.
Daniel in the lion’s den, jawboning with a bunch of jackasses. And it didn’t phase her a bit. I’m amazed, really, I am. I couldn’t have done it. There would have been blood. My heroine!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. 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:
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.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

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.
