Yeppireee, Buckwheat! Massah Obama Bin Callin' All His Frins' To Make Shur They Don't Vote Fer No XL Pipeline--It Might Kreeate Jobs!

This just about sez it all, ya'll.

Remember, ya'll, while you're fussin' betwixt yerselves about who's the most Right-eous Conservative, who married and divorced whom when, etc. etc. etc., the President continues his war on the American culture and economy. The spending continues, the debt grows, and our children will have their lives crushed under the weight of it.

Time to settle down, and turn our attentions to sending Himself and his clown circus on their way, while we still have a country.

That means--voting in sane conservatives from the town council up to the White House, giving money and time and energy to the effort of getting this done.In 2010, OS voted and donated against someone he really liked, because he knew that the stakes were too high to let that affection determine his vote.

After the dust settles, all the fundamentalists can go back to loathing one another over whatever issues they choose to loathe one another over this month.

Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum or Ron Paul or Newt Gingrich aren't a menace to our country.

Barack Obama is.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Weeps In Public For Being Exposed As Perv And Serial Liar

This is the contrite Anthony Weiner, weeping for the cameras because he got caught being a creep, and lying repeatedly about it.

He's sooooooo sorry about it all, but of course, there's no thought of resignation. That's what Republicans do when they get caught doing creepy behavior. The rules are different for the Left; for the Barney Franks, Bill Clintons, John Edwards(what if he had been elected President or Vice-President? Does anyone ever ponder that quandry? At least, Spiro Agnew resigned over his previous sins.)

Then there's AlGore... And let us not forget Teddy Kennedy, or John Kennedy, for that matter. The rules are different for the Left.

So, out of curiosity, OS decided to stroll down memory lane, to view TheWeiner in action, TheWeiner unplugged. TheRealWeiner, with his Weinerness on display for all to enjoy. Lil' Anthony, treating us to The Full Weiner.

Here's TheWeiner going postal in frustration because the GOP controls the House, and won't let themselves be rolled on a spending bill:



Ahh, the joys of adult conversation on the floor of the House!

And another, in which TheWeiner burns up two minutes of floor time to ridicule the majority for having the obvious wisdom of attemtping to put National Palestinian Radio out of our misery.



Ever wonder how much money we burn per minute when the House is in session?
What a guy!

And here's the best bit of all: Anthony Weiner, Champion Of Women's Interests. Stay with this one through about 1:25 if you can, where he asserts that 'Some rape is more desirable in the eyes of the sponsor than others'...It gets, well, randier and more insulting after that.



WeinerGate should really come as no surprise--the posting of a picture of his Weinerness in a state of arousal to a woman with whom he is flirting is really par for the course for any person with this level of arrogance and total absence of basic judgement. The common thread isn't the perv sex, or even the Leftist politics (Republicans get randy, too...Terry Sanford playing hooky in Argentina with his mistress does come to mind.)

It's the sheer arrogance, the utter lack of judicious consideration of possible consequences of behaviour, the folly, the stupidity. It's what one would expect of Billy-Bob living in his trailor in the back parts of Bedford County, cooking meth and impregnating his second cousins. Billy-Bob creates a lot of chaos, but it's usually localized. These people pass laws, impose taxes, start wars, put the country into impossible levels of debt, and eviscerate anyone who dare raise a hand in objection.

TheWeiner won't resign. Weiners like him never do. MizNancy had her legal eagles write out his faux-apology, and ordered him to make the contrition look convincing. He certainly did not step to that podium willingly. He had to do it now, lest the question continue to arise in 2012, stiffening the resolve of his opposition, arousing curiosity, emboldening the press to repeatedly raise probing questions. Sorry, just couldn't resist....

He should resign, though. Were he a Mensch, and not TheWeiner, he would resign, and stand for election for his seat again, either in the by-election, or in the 2012 general election. (Who knows, he might find himself contesting for the seat with a woman in opposition. Now, wouldn't that be interesting! He doesn't care to find out.)

But, he won't. He'll get away with it, in the end, because he can.

Because the rules are different for the Left. And Weiners.

The New Wall On The Southern Border...of Mexico...

So, how come it's ok for THEM to build a wall to keep illegal aliens off their southern border, and we're heartless Yanqui monsters if we do likewise?

Hmmm....

If Only They Were Joking!

From JDA:

Convert Your Tax Refund into More Debt for the Treasury

Really, to quote Jeff Foxworthy, 'I can't make this stuff up!'.

As always, JDA gives the account of the latest folly of ThePeopleInChargeOfSuchThings with high spirits and fabulous humor.

Governor Paterson Heads For The Exits

OldSouth had a long day yesterday, and broke his normal routine. It was a good day, but by about 6:00 he was an hour from home, tired and hungry. Eating in restaurants alone is no fun, but it was necessary last night. So, he grabs a copy of yesterday's YewNorkTimes to see what the latest MSM spin is, just for amusement, and finds his table.

Well, hot-DAUMMN!, up on the top left of the front page, in a separate box just to make sure it's not missed, with three writers listed as authors, the news of Governor Paterson's incredibly sleazy behavior as he apparently sought to intimidate a woman that his sleazy top aide has battered.

This is news. This is the second New York governor in three years to get caught in some seriously sleazy behavior.  Paterson even makes Eliot Spitzer look relatively benign. Spitzer just had a case of 'The Joneses' for young hookers, and engaged in bank fraud to cover his tracks. Paterson intervened directly with the battered woman to intimidate her into silence. The State Police (who had no jurisdiction in the case) had also been by for a 'friendly visit'. This crosses the line into truly dark, evil behavior, smudging the line between governance and criminal gang leadership. This is overtly criminal, at both the State and Federal level. (More about that later!)

What stuck OS was the fact that the YewNorkTimes reported it at all. A few years ago, the YewNorkTimes would have actively participated in the cover-up of this criminality--after all, Paterson is a Democrat, black, and blind.  A true liberal 'Three-fer' (Three 'misunderstood oppressed righteous minorities in need of our understanding and unqualified support, all in the same person.  We feel three times as righteous for enabling his criminality. You know--a 'Three-fer'.)

And in today's web edition, news that Paterson won't seek re-election. Boy, that was quick!

Of course, what's needed here is a resignation. Or an impeachment, in case he needs some encouragement to GetOutOfDodge.  If he had a shred of honor....but wait, he threatens battered women, so let's not seek what does not exist.

And, let us remember, the State of New York is on a trajectory toward almost certain bankruptcy. Good to know HizHonor had time to engage in a bit of official extortion on the side...


A few further questions come to mind, while on the subject:

1. This, on its face, is a Federal civil rights case.  Gross abuse of power by a Governor to silence a battered woman seeking redress in a local court.  Does AG Holder have the stones to allow Federal prosecution of  a fellow black Democrat politician?  (Don't hold your breath!)

2. Where's Jesse Jackson, 'speaking truth to power', or Al Sharpton?  Or is it only white-on-black violence that interests them, as grist for  the race-baiting mill?  And, Jesse, Al and Paterson are pretty tight friends over the years, are they not?  How much about behavior this did they know, and decide to sit by in silence?

Once again, the collapse of the YewNorkTimes' subscription base, directly as a result of their complete lack of credibility (and outright hostility to the United States at points), seems to have led to some sort of attitude adjustment somewhere on the daily editorial staff.

Of course, the editors of the Op-Ed page still think the country can spend us into oblivion without consequence, and daily drink the Obama Kool-Aid.  Their conversion experience will have to wait until about the second or third week of November.

Back In The Day(2005), When The Democrats Railed Against The 51-Vote Majority

Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and the MSM are about put on the full court press to pass a health care takeover that this country clearly does not want.

Is there a need for some fixes to the system? Absolutely.

Is ObamaCare the answer? Absolutely not. And Obama and company know it. That's why they will attempt to ram this huge program through via the parliamentary maneuver known as 'reconciliation'. No amendments can be offered, and minimal debate allowed.

In 2005, when the Republicans were in the majority, some judicial appointments were under consideration. The Republicans contemplated changing the Senate rules to allow approval by simple majority, which by the way is what the Constitution specifies.

The Democrats screamed bloody murder, warning darkly of the 'tyranny of the majority'. Sadly, the GOP leader Bill Frist relented. It was the beginning of the end, as conservative voters decided they had been sold out by both Bush and the GOP.

But, here for your viewing, the protestations of the Democrat Senators in 2005, decrying the very thing they now proclaim as the only way forward.

They may just succeed, but they will blow the country up. OS has come to the conclusion that they just don't care, that the will to power trumps any ethical restraint.

A Modest Proposal For The Winter Olympic Games

It seems Vancouver has no snow, temps well above freezing, and no prospect of snow.

Not a good thing.

What to do?

Invite AlGore to serve as Master of Ceremonies.


The blizzards follow him.

Planet Gore, tongue-in-cheek, tracks the Gore Effect, which is a bit uncanny. The great Copenhagen conference of December 2009 featured a blizzard.  AlGore was scheduled to preach to a Congressional committee this week about the dangers of global warming.

Postponed, due to two feet of snow and ice.

Maybe, there is a God, and He has a wry sense of humor.

Helicopter Ben's Legacy

HT to Skeptical CPA, who passed along this gem of wisdom:

If the US dollar were back on the gold standard, notes Societe Generale analyst Dylan Grice, then gold would have be priced at $7,648 an ounce in order to fully back all of the dollars in circulation.

Jimmy Carter, Where Are You?

One of Jimmy Carter's momentous decisions during his ill-fated Presidency was his decision to leave the Shah of Iran to his fate, and stand by while Khomeni and company transformed the country into an Islamic republic.

His reasoning was that the Shah was a despicable tyrant who violated human rights, thus we must wash our hands of him.

Now, thirty years and a few hundred thousand deaths later, we see an Iranian regime that seems bent on both crushing its own people and developing the means to terrorize the region with nuclear weapons.

Oh, Mr. President, champion of Human Rights and Free and Fair Elections in all corners of the earth, could you please explain your silence about the show trials of Iranian dissidents now underway?

(Silence, broken only by the chirp of the cicadas in the summer heat of the Georgia evenings...)

Mr. President???
