Palin resigns

Maybe she didn’t want to be president as badly as her fans wanted her to? I don’t know. What I do know is that this is a killer for most careers and more that likely will be for her. However, just as Obama rode a perfect storm to the White House, maybe Palin can as well. Remember, the big reason that Obama won was Bush fatigue. People were so fed up with Bush and his party that they went with the unknown quantity despite the obvious flaws. If there would have been a video of Obama dealing drugs to preschoolers, it would not have mattered. He would still have been elected. That’s how badly Bush and the Republicans were hated in November. Now, the tide is turning.

There’s a good chance that Obama/Democrat fatigue will be just as great, especially when the cap and trade impact starts hitting in a couple years. Toss on his taxes and other economy killers and Americans will be ready for new blood again. Even after this, Palin could win that matchup. She would just have to get out of the primaries. That would be the tough part, yes, but her fan base is pretty rabid so it’s possible. And if not, hey, we have that nice photo shoot in Runners World!

But then again, maybe she is just looking to be private citizen Palin for the rest of her life. One of the things I really admire about her is that she is down to Earth and just like the rest of us. Speaking for myself, if I was in her shoes, I’d walk away too rather than deal with all the crap. In the meantime, another star falls from the Republican sky. If they keep disappearing like this, we’ll have to dig up Reagan’s corpse and run it. Hey, wait a minute, maybe that would work. Obama is just a teleprompter reading puppet, maybe we can get Reagan’s corpse, tie some strings to it for motion control and play some of his speeches. It just might work.

Anyway, my ADD is running amok. Sorry. God Speed Sarah Palin in what ever you decide and thanks for being the only thing worthwhile in the last election.

The Stimulus Has Failed

Mr. Obama came into office betting all his hopes on recovering the nation’s economy through a massive stimulus package. Well, that’s failed. The stimulus was supposed to make unemployment go down, not up. Now we’re deeper in debt, worse off for employment, and Mr. Obama owns it all now. Remember way back when, when this thing was going through the Senate. Only three of ours crossed over to vote for it, and one of them later became a Democrat. This is Mr. Obama’s economy now, and it’s lousy, and his falling approval ratings attest to this. Couple this with his dreadful handling of the Iran situation, and his decision to back the leftist dictators of Latin America in condemning the courts and congress of Honduras, and this administration looks more and more like Jimmy Carter’s every day. Stagflation and dictators beware, Mr. Obama is limiting his days in office.

Fun with Mug Shots! A special Sunday Edition of White Trash Wednesday

Ok, I’m still way burnt out on the serious political stuff. Yeah, yeah, I know. I was never that good with the political. I tried. Anyway, today, we are going to have a SPECIAL EDITION of White Trash Wednesday! I give you White Trash Wednesday, Special Sunday Edition: Fun with mug shots! We will cruise the Gaston Gazette and look at the mug shots from the weekend.

Here in North Carolina, we have our share of major rednecks. You can just hear the country music and the yeehaws. “here’s Uncle Joe, he’s moving kind of slow at the Junction”

Do the Palin glasses make me look smart too?

Now we also have our really cute ladies with the temper. These two hotties are charged with assault. Let’s get them a boxing ring with some mud and sell tickets!

Now this one in the red tank had a great weekend. On Friday, she assaulted someone and on Saturday she got drunk and started running around the neighborhood and was arrested again for drunk and disorderly. Sister, I want to party with you! Hey! She could take on the winner of the other 2 girls!

So, when you get arrested and you have no shirt, or are in PJ’s, it’s a 99% certainty that you’re a wife beater. Here are 3 of those “oh so tough they have to hit a woman to prove it” men:

This loser is actually a career actor. He’s always plays a townfolk in any western/redneck/mountain movie.

Yes, this dude in the hospital gown was charged with assault on a female.

Just look at the moustache. Is there any question of his charge? Or it’s accuracy? L-O-S-E-R!

Ok, so let’s go to the DWI winners and caption these mugs!

“Quick, take the wheel. I have a DWI already. They won’t arrest you! I’m going to kick his ass when I get out of here…”

Please let me go. PLEASE! I’ll do anything…

“I’m not drunk officer, I’m high. Oh, man, I’m so high. Wow, a unicorn!”

“Honey, the funniest thing happened to me on the way home from the bar!”

“Oh, Hi daddy! I’m going to need some money. And a lawyer too…”

“If I show them my boobs, will they let me go? I think I’ll just lean into the camera a bit. Can’t hurt!”

These three kings of Orient are arrested for…

If you said assault on a female, you’d be correct! Remember, shirtless means beater.

This next pair is in the category of “your family tree is a stump”. Yes, these next 2 are brothers, as if you couldn’t tell, and were arrested for drugs (gosh, no, really? Shocking!). Their names are Dustin and Justin. I guess like these two, their mom and dad weren’t too bright either. I think Thing 1 and Thing 2 would have been better.

Ok, this one was charged with “forced rape”. No comment.

These two were charged with prostitution and soliciting. I guess there’s a Viagra commercial there somewhere! “After I take Viagra, I am so ready, I offer money to every woman I see!!”

Here in North Carolina, we get our share of stars. Here’s Gary Bussey’s twin brother!

And finally, the winner of tonights white trash Wednesday, Sunday edition, this woman was charged with 10 different crimes. DWI, Posession, etc. The last one was public nudity when she did a strip for the officers before her mug shot, hoping that the entertainment would get them to let her go. As you can see by her expression the answer was “No dice”. Dang, she usually gets at least 20 for the lap dances and this one will have to be for free. However, all is not lost, the nudity charge was dropped when the DA said that the jail photo room was not public and therefore it had to be tossed.

So that completes this edition of white trash Wednesday, Sunday Special: fun with mug shots. I hope you enjoyed it. Here’s hoping we don’t find your picture here, or yes, it will get posted!

Sanford Should Resign

Mark Sanford purports to be a conservative. Well, last I checked, family values are an important aspect of conservatism. Sanford has admitted to an affair, and while the decision on whether or not he stays married is the domain of his family, his state and his party deserve far better than a hypocrite. Sanford should resign as governor of South Carolina immediately, and if not the party should expel him from its ranks and mount a primary challenger for the next election.

A Tale of Two Hate Speeches

Let me preface my remarks by saying this: James von Brunn is a vile racist murdering son of a bitch who should get his turn on the chair for what he did. Fifty James von Brunn’s aren’t worth one Stephen Johns, we are worse off without Johns, and will little miss Brunn when his small shriveled 88 year old heart finally gives out on him. That said, I already see the precursor for another tragedy developing. . . the tragedy of society’s double standards. Brunn left a note explaining that the motivation of his actions centers around this lovely passage right here: “The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what Jew owners tell him to do. Jews captured America’s money. Jews control the mass media. The 1st Amendment is abrogated –henceforth.” Unfortunately this vile little man is getting tacked on to his very well deserved murder charge a hate crimes charge. I say unfortunately not because I don’t want Brunn to face justice to the hilt (I believe I prefaced this calling for his execution), but because hate crimes are not only a crude government instrument of thought control, they are also a sad vehicle for society’s double standards.

At the same time that this miserable excuse of a man was committing these heinous crimes, we were also being treated to a rant no less odious from the illustrious Jeremiah Wright. Wright too echoed Brunn’s paranoia about Jews, stating “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me,”elaborating further “They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.” Brunn’s hate speech is rightly regarded for what it is; vile, pernicious, hurtful, wrong. The problem is when it comes to Wright, the tune changes. Then we start hearing “free speech,” and “who cares, he’s not in office.” But what Wright said is so frightfully similar to what Brunn said. It illustrates a deep dysfunction on our social conceptions of hate that Wright’s is dismissed, while Brunn’s is to be prosecuted. Either the opinions of both men are criminal, or the right to free speech should confer, like most other rights, even when you do wrong. In fact, most of our rights exist to protect us when we are in the gears of justice. We have rights against unreasonable search and seizure, rights to protect us from bearing witness against ourselves, rights to face our accusers, rights to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, and rights to due process. These are not suspended when we have committed crimes. It makes little sense, then, that one’s right to free speech and editorial freedom would cease to extend to the times when we break laws. After all, even a thief can sue you if he slips and falls on your sidewalk while robbing you. We are left with one of two notions, either Brunn’s right to speech precludes criminality of his opinions (we can still fry him for murder, and you bet I’d be the man to throw the switch), or the speech itself is fundamentally criminal, in which case we should prosecute Wright.

Capone Care Coming To You!

Al Capone once said “you can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.” Al Capone could have written the House Democrats new health care bill. The kind word? The government is going to offer you a somewhat cheaper competing healthcare plan to private insurers. The gun? None other than the overbearing force of the state telling you that you are required to have health insurance. They include an exceeption for hardship. Of course, hardship will be defined as the government sees it, not you as the individual empowered to make your own choices. So, are you a college student just getting started in a career and living with mom and dad till you save up enough money to make it on your own? Generally in good health? Too bad, the government says you get to buy health insurance. Are you a man in your 30s and 40s who ensures your child and not yourself because you can’t afford it? You’ll be happy to know you’ll now have plenty of insurance to pay for your gunshot wounds when you move into a failing neighborhood to save money to pay for the government’s mandate. And, of course, once the government starts covering people in the insurance realm, it won’t be long before they start to get even further into the business of lifestyle management, because then how you live becomes public domain as long as the government pays the health costs of it. Welcome to the nanny state.

Wings Penguins Game 7

Life, the universe and everything

Life has a way of throwing stuff at you that you never see coming. You could see it, if you were looking for it or even paying attention, but, you’re not, and it hits you upside the head. I have been neglecting my family for stuff like Facebook and blogs. I have to stop and that begins now.

I have enjoyed posting here at Beth’s Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and I will from time to time, put up some things. But it will be very light for me. I am starting a journey back to my family and life and it starts with this. I hope it’s not too late. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.

Earlier I cleared out my facebook. That is going on hiatus too. The internet is fun, but if you get too caught up in it, you wind up missing out on the real and the fun or you wind up having everything slip away without even noticing. If it seems like I am rambling, I am. But that’s the state I am in. The depth of how badly I’ve messed up is hitting me and it’s not pretty.

Y’all are in good hands with LordBiteMeMan and Martin. And I will put up occasionally, but for now, it’s time to stand down. God bless and God speed to all of you.

Wings Penguins Game 6

If the wings win, they skate the Cup. If not, then game 7 is Friday in Detroit.

Wings-Penguins game 5

It really is a one game series. Who ever wins this, will win the cup, in my opinion.

What If He’s Not Closing It. . .

Like most everyone I’m tempted to accept the argument that Obama is something of a lightweight liberal who takes liberal stances following his heart and not his head. Then, I slow down and ask “but is that necessarily true?” I do this mainly because the one maxim I’ve always taken with me into politics is to “never believe your own bullshit.” Sure we called Obama this “unknown quantity” and questioned whether or not he was a lightweight, but that was during the campaign and that was a tactic. He’s no lightweight. A lightweight doesn’t go from being a state legislator to a president in 5 years. Such an individual either possesses a natural pragmatic brilliance to take himself there, or the rare form of genius that it takes to recognize and listen to one who possesses such brilliance. Is he left of center? Absolutely. But how far really? I doubt a George McGovern or a Jimmy Carter would have suppressed the Gitmo photos. So I wonder, is Obama really a lightweight liberal. . . or is he more of a cynical center-left president? Certainly I’m not the first to wonder, as John B. Judis of The New Republic states:

“In truth, however, if you examine carefully how Obama conducted himself as an organizer and how he has conducted himself as a politician, if you consider what he said about organizing to his fellow organizers, and if you look at the reasons he gave friends and colleagues for abandoning organizing, then a very different picture emerges: that of a disillusioned activist who fashioned his political identity not as an extension of community organizing but as a wholesale rejection of it. Indeed, the most important thing to know about Barack Obama’s time as a community organizer in Chicago may not be what he gained from the experience–but rather why, in late 1987, he decided to quit.”

Which leads me to the crux of this ponderance today. What if Obama doesn’t really want to close Gitmo? I’ll give you a moment to collect yourself and prevent your drink of choice from spewing out your nose in laughter. If you think about it, and put aside some of your preconceived notions about Obama, there’s an objective case to be made here.

First, let’s consider what we know about Gitmo. Gitmo is a conveniant place to have around. These are bad people we house there. We do not want them in US communities, we want them in a detention camp surrounded by a marine base and lots of men with guns. There’s not a lot of substitutes for that kind of housing.

Second, consider the man. Barack Obama was an unknown who gave an inspiring speech in front of a national audience. He gathered a liberal following less on any merit he possessed but rather as a rejection to the return of the Clintons buttressed by a little lip service here and there. But, when you strip away the vaneer, you have a man who rejected gay marriage, picked a Robert Rubin acolyte to head the treasury, suppressed the Gitmo photos, and tried to rein in his party on torture hearings.

So, take a man who’s not a lightweight, who’s done a number of things to distance himself from the farthest left course of policy he could take, would like to retain those liberal supporters though, and a facility whose closure would be both unwise and unpopular, and you ought to be awfully suspicious when one of the first thing the man does is promise to close the facility with little to no plan on how to handle the detainees. That’s a policy destined to fail that only a novice would pursue. That is, only a novice, or a man who’d like to keep the facility open but demonstrate to liberals why their silly little policy idea won’t work “so trust me when I keep it open and keep voting for me.”

Far fetched? Perhaps. That’s the great thing about blogging, I’m not paid to do this, so if I’m wrong I don’t lose a paying job. But I know liberals who support this closure have unflappable faith in the international community and that this is just the work of paranoid conservatives who have nothing to fear with moving detainees into the US. Well, as Harry Reid so adequately demonstrated, Republicans aren’t the only NIMBYs when it comes to the detainees. As if that weren’t a mild enough embarassment to the position, our pals in Germany sure aren’t eager to get them either. Now, if I were trying to SHOW liberals that their policy idea isn’t going to work and keep them on board with me, rather than TELL them it isn’t going to work and risk their ire, this would sure do a lot of that work for me. I imagine it would for Obama too if he really wanted to keep Gitmo open. In fact, not only would it serve the purpose of keeping his liberal support base on his side, but how can the Europeans then turn around and scream bloody murder if they wanted to play no active role in helping close it. How could they say anything really? How can the liberals either. . . if he’s forced to keep it open.

Wings-Pens Game 4

Detroit leads 2-1 but if they lose this, it’s a brand new series and only a best of 3. If Detroit wins this, they will have a stranglehold on the series.
