Missing Missile Missive

by Smitty

The left coast missile surprise has dominated the news of the day.
We can now reveal the truth. That wasn't just any missile; it was a King Missile:

What Does Dick Blumenthal And The Pedophile From The Movie, Happiness Have In Common?

Other than they look like they could have been separated at birth?

First, here's Dick:



Contrast with the pedophile from the movie, Happiness.

WARNING: You may need to wash your soul after viewing this clip. It's disturbing.

The physical similarity between the two men is eerie.

Except Blumenthal is edging out in front with the creepiness factor.

Obama’s “Hope-A-Dope” Nation

With two years left in his term, the errand boy sent by grocery clerks presides over a nation in deep and ever-growing trouble.

Through his propaganda of carefully crafted, semi-divine, yet vague and appealing buzzwords, Fearless Reader won the public's support. Now, his cult is crumbling.

Washington seeks to extend our dependence on government in perpetuity. A record forty-two million Americans are on food stamps. That's an 18% jump from 2009 and 1.4% from June 2010.

Political scientist William Voegeli's new book, "Never Enough: America's Limitless Welfare State" notes, "Liberals don't want the government to grow indefinitely. They just want it to be bigger than it is right now."

We are seeing, firsthand, that big government’s trillion-dollar stimulus programs don’t produce jobs.

The Democrats' stimulus includes "$145 billion in state and local aid to forestall austerity measures in the public sector," notes Manhattan Institute senior fellow E.J. McMahon. As private sector workers suffer layoffs, salary cuts and pay freezes, the stimulus gives raises to government employees—who increasingly dominate Big Labor, which returns the favor with cash for Democrats.

"I have no better friend in labor than AFSCME," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi once said of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the U.S.' largest political campaign donor, giving over $38 million since 1990, almost all to Democrats.

The gelding who occupies the Oval Office infused federal aid to states and localities pumping up the paychecks of heavily unionized public employees who already earn more, on average, than the people who pay their salaries.

Finally, lower cost was the campaign promise of ObamaCare, but as Medicare actuaries confirmed, it will increase healthcare costs. The president's government takeover has already begun to boost private health insurance premiums and all we’ve seen to date is the tip of the iceberg. Still more frightening—there are two more years left in this president-in-training’s term.

May God have mercy on this nation.

BREAKING: 89,000 Bogus Stimulus Checks Sent To Jailbait And Dead People

The Social Security Administration, the agency was charged with distributing one-time payments, sent about 89,000 bogus stimulus checks of $250 each to dead and jailed people according to a new inspector-general’s report.

The report said that of these payments, about 55,000, were sent because the recipients had died recently, and the Social Security Administration had not been informed of their deaths by states, families or funeral homes at the time the payments were sent. The remaining 17,000 of the mistaken payments were attributed to the Social Security Administration failing to properly process death records that it did have. The combined total of the bogus payments totals an astounding $22.3 million.

The Social Security Administration says that the stimulus package didn’t include a provision allowing it to try to retrieve funds that were mistakenly sent out, so it can’t try to retrieve the money. Are you fucking kidding me?

A long-time campaigner against waste, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) said, “This report highlights the broader problems with the Recovery Act itself. At a time like now, when nearly $350 billion in waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government annually has been reported and our national debt closing in on $13.5 trillion, these findings represent the epitome of congressional stupidity and a total disregard for accountability.”

To Ron Radosh at PJM, who's lackey isn't doing his job

His piece is here:

A taste:

Now consider today’s Republican Party. At a moment when it is poised to present meaningful conservative alternatives to the stale bromides of a bankrupt liberalism, far right activists who demand ideological purity and rigidity on all issues dominate the activist base, and seemingly are succeeding in producing a conservatism that is both not electable and far removed from appealing to the disappointments that are driving so many away from the Democratic Party.

My comment, and now response (since whoever there moderates comments couldn't be bothered) here at this august blog:

The center-right has been successfully demonized as being “radical” and “far-right” so long now that people, like you Ron, take it as conventional wisdom, which is definitely conventional, but rarely wise.

We need to redefine what “centrist” actually means. I believe it is not merely someone who sits in the middle between left and center-right, as that implies a center-left mindset – and that satisfies no-one. Not the 20% self-described “liberal” and definitely not the 42% of the electorate who claim “conservative”. Even the 35% who currently claim “moderate”, when push comes to shove, will abandon that and go one way or the other. And that will almost invariably end up with a majority of “conservatives” in the electorate. So someone tell me why we should have a party that panders to that middle group and leaves the larger “base” unfulfilled instead of embracing the base and reaching out to the “moderates” and convincing them that their agenda most meets their needs? After all, the moderates are the ones that need convincing and they put themselves there to be convinced. Besides, do you really think a “centrist” party is going to peel off any part of the 20% of “liberals”? When a self-identified group gets near those numbers, it’s the hard-core true-believers. they can’t BE convinced to vote for you.

In essence, Ron, you’re advocating the same policies the GOP has run for nearly ever – chase the “moderates” by being “centrist” and throw a couple bones to the conservatives but generally ignore them as they will always be there. Which was what Bush and the Republican leadership have done since Gingrich was ousted, and continue to try to do this year with neglect and active hostility towards conservative challengers in Florida, Delaware, and Alaska. Basically, be “Democrat-lite” and manage the disaster that liberalism is creating instead of actually averting it. What did that get them in 2006 and 2008?

Oh, yeah, the people will vote for the actual Democrat or Republican rather than the pale imitation.

Let's give the people an actual party for which to vote.

Amy Schumer Advertises Herself Out To Be An Easy Date

Thanks to Da Tech Guy by way of the Hot Air quotes for the day.

At about the 3:58 mark, Amy Schumer lets it slip that she's had sex with about a "Baker's two dozen". So about 26 guys for a woman who isn't in her thirties yet.  Out of everything she said, that could have been the worse thing that came out of her mouth.  During that clip, obviously.



What irks me is how she feels it's somehow incumbent upon herself to attack Crowder's position about abstinence. Because she's been around the block more than a few times somehow makes her more wise than Crowder. She assumes that Crowder is the naive virgin with rose colored glasses and it's her duty to remove them.

She couldn't even muster up enough self esteem to give him a pat on the back and say, "Good job. Won't work with me because, you know, I'm kind of a gutter trollop myself but if it works for you. . ."

Note to Amy, being flat on your back doesn't make you world-wise. Only world weary.

Anyone else could have traded in their level of fame for some chick who was ready to trot but he hasn't. There's something to be said about the willpower and character of Crowder.
