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.

Obama Finds That Pick. . .

Obama stated on the campaign trail that he would look for bench picks for the courts that had “empathy” for various groups. In selecting Sonia Sotomayor, Obama established one thing, compassion for competant firefighters who qualify for well deserved promotions is not one of his prerequisites. Hopefully Anthony Kennedy isn’t a douche who comes to the conclusion that a Title IX approach to affirmative action (eliminating programs and practices because you can’t achieve equality of results) is just fine by him.

who knew?

At NRO.

One year after Maryland instituted a special tax on millionaires, the number of millionaires, according to tax records, has dropped from about 3,000 to about 2,000.

The Baltimore Sun: “Taxes collected from those returns as of last month have declined by roughly $100 million.”

The local Chamber of Commerce argues that it’s because the millionaires are moving away to Virginia and Pennsylvania (easier in Maryland than in some other states, since it’s so small). State officials say it’s too early to tell. Uh-huh

you can’t have it both ways barry

Ogabe is insisting that one of his major objectives is to get the banks ‘lending again’, while he simultaneously insists on striking stupid, cosmetic, initiative-killing poses for the cameras.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has begun serious talks about how it can change compensation practices across the financial-services industry, including at companies that did not receive federal bailout money, according to people familiar with the matter.

The initiative, which is in its early stages, is part of an ambitious and likely controversial effort to broadly address the way financial companies pay employees and executives, including an attempt to more closely align pay with long-term performance.

He honestly believes he knows best.

union thug returns

Barry’s threatening California with withdrawal of stimulus dollars if they don’t reinstate 2 bucks an hour to the Union home helpers.

Why is anybody even slightly surprised? He’s a Community Organizer. Have people not yet grasped how left wing this man is? He believes in organizing, he believes in ’spreading the wealth around’, so long as its other peoples’ money, and he’s basically a pacificist.

We’re being ‘organized’ right now. Believe me. This man is way to the left of Jimmy Carter, fo sho.

left at protein wisdom

I left the following comment at Jeff’s fantastic blog:

Silver - Obama is Blair x50. I said to my dad in 1997 that this man (Blur) is a bare-faced liar with a deity complex. Obama is the same, but with Ken Livingstone’s political outlook. They’re moving VERY quickly to sweep away American exceptionalism, both as an idea and a practical matter. We’re having our community organized for us.

With no lube.

mayday! mayday! swine flu update!

It’s still not a big deal.

It’s almost as if Obama and other ‘world leaders’ are using it as a pretext to distract the population from their insane leftist nationalization spendathons.

waterboarding news

How about we hold an investigation into the cold-blooded slaughter of three Somali teenagers, on the personal orders of President Braveheart?

dear meghan. please stfu. thank you. martin

Meghan. You’re 24. The only reasons anybody reports on your babbling are:

1) You’re hot, but mostly

2) You’re regarded by the enemies of conservatism as hurting the cause.

Therefore, please stop.

b.o. first dog

And an amazingly good-looking shelter dog he is too. Congratulations on another lie ignored by the newshound community, President Bullshit, by the way.

And what’s with this name “Bo”? It’s been put about that I’ve been named after a cat owned by Malia and Sasha’s cousin. That would be bad enough but I’m reliably informed that my new owner is Barack Obama - “the One”. Check out those initials - B.O. Geddit? Bo. It’s always about him.

It’s not the dogs fault, although the ridiculous fucking gay pride bandanna it’s wearing certainly reflects poorly on Michelle, who has about the worst taste in clothes I have ever seen, so we shouldn’t be totally surprised.

four legs good, two legs better

Did teh Obamateur™ campaign against deficits? I think he may have done.

Drawing on his years as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said that while he intends to be a supportive partner if he wins the White House, the mayors should not count on significant additional help from Washington. Change, he said, comes from the bottom up, not from the top down.

Hear that? No top-down federal busybodying. It’s a bottom up process.

He also said Washington’s ability to help the cities would be limited in part by a long-term federal budget deficit left by the Bush administration, which he called “the most fiscally irresponsible administration in modern times.”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! That would be the second most fiscally irresponsible administration in modern times. We now have the most fiscally irresponsible administration in the history of mankind. So how d’you like them apples?

Hillary in 2012?

So our friends at the Moxargongroup have a theory. The media has grabbed onto the theory that Obama didn’t know of the Protocol Office in the State Department. Hence his inane stupidity in dealing with other countries. Obama hasn’t taken the time to locate it what with all his interviews and tv appearances and rock star trips. However, one person knew of the Protocol Office and obviously didn’t tell him. She was the first lady for 8 years and certainly dealt with them. So, why did she keep it quiet???

Only the Shadow knows…

Join in when you feel comfortable.

By the way, did you think Obamateur™ gifting an iPod (Made in China) on behalf of the United States of America to HM The Queen was classy? I’m sure it came with a charger that doesn’t work in the United Kingdom.

nationalize the banks, split them up, sell them back to the private sector

I can’t see any other way around this situation - Geithner’s latest plan to guarantee leveraged bets by a small number of selected managers smacks of impending oligarchy, and is simply recapitalizing the banks by stealth.

Would you guarantee a superleveraged loan to me to pay $80 for something that you know is worth $65?

That’s Tiny Tim’s crazy fucking plan - here’s the news folks; This will be the largest transfer of wealth from taxpayers to (selected) banksters in the history of the world, and it’s being promoted by the Federal government.

Ray dalio, manager of one of the world’s largest hedge funds said the following in conclusion of a brutal analysis of Little Timmy Taxdodger’s plan:

We don’t like the political/profile risks. If this plan gets scrutinized, which seems likely, there’s a lot about it that could cause controversy. Maybe we are misunderstanding it, but from what we seem to understand, given all of these issues, it looks to us like the sort of thing that the S.E.C. and other regulators wouldn’t allow if those of us in the private sector did it. Anyway, as it now stands, we don’t want to participate for these reasons.

Nice!

Hey, Brother-in-law. Up yours!

So we had a birthday party for my mother-in-law on Saturday. My brother-in-law showed up really ticked off. No biggie. It happens. If I was flogged for every time I showed up somewhere ticked off, I’d take more lashes than an adulterer in Saudi Arabia. However, he progressively got worse. During the course of dinner, Obama is brought up. My brother-in-law proceeds to defend Obama beyond any resemblence of reason. He blames the oil run up on speculators. He says that only those making 250k or more will see more taxes. He says that if an additional 300 bucks on 10k is going to hurt you then you have bigger problems. Basically he tows the Obama line. I tried to tell him that to make good on all his promises, Obama would have to raise taxes on people making 50k or even lower. He scoffed at me, insulted me and then eventually walked out.

So it is with delicious delight that I get to tell him:

I TOLD YOU SO! UP YOURS!

That’s right. Obama is taxing smokers, most of whom, make less than 250k per year. Now I know what the idiot brigade will say. “No, he was talking about income taxes.” Um, no he wasn’t. Here are some of the quotes. This was his exact words in Dover. The link has the entire speech. Read it. He said ANY taxes and went on to point out McCain’s tax on Health Insurace as an example. So he didn’t mean just income/payroll taxes. He meant any taxes.

“I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”

I can’t wait to rub it in. Well, as soon as he talks to me again. He de-friended my wife, son and I on Facebook, so that could be a while. But then again, when that happens, his income taxes will have shot up too and he’ll already know I’m right. So until then, I’ll just pull out the old “Chris was right” banner and wave it around tossing confetti. That never gets old. Until he talks to me so I can rub it in, it’ll have to do.
