IDEA: How to solve the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster — have his cultists head to the Gulf and chant "Hope! Change!" at it in candlelit vigils beneath styrofoam pillars
Here’s another commercial we’d love to see the RNC or Tea Party people run. Please feel to take any of these ideas we ever have and run with them, as we don’t have the capability to do this stuff ourselves, and wish we had access to the equipment, funding, and resources to pull this off. As we think of things, we put it out there, and it’s our intent for those of you out there reading with connections to just run with this.
We’d love to see a commercial made, for both YouTube and TV runs, where the thousands of bleary-eyed, zombified Obama cultists chanting “Hope! Change! O-ba-ma!” are superimposed over images of the Gulf shoreline and Obamaspill Disaster.
They are holding their candles.
They are delivering homage unto their Lightbringer.
The styrofoam columns and faux-Olympian set from Obama’s Denver Convention acceptance speech have returned, and are planted in the waters of the Gulf like a petroleum-slicked Atlantis.
On the shore, toes tickled by rainbow swirling water, the cultists chant:
HOPE!
CHANGE!
O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!
We think the American public needs to be reminded of the insanity of 2008 that got us to where we are today.
Someone needs to establish that intellectual and psychological link between the personality cult of Obama the Media fueled in the campaign, and the man in the Oval Office who was elected because so many were conned into believing his lack of experience or record didn’t matter, because his personal charm and individual magic were enough to overcome anything that he faced in the world’s most important and difficult job.
All those hours they spent chanting to get him elected, all huddled together, like the fools that they are…needs to be remembered by the public at large and exposed for the buffoonery it was.
Can their chants solve this disaster in the Gulf?
Can their hope and change save the day?
Let’s ask the public to think about this…and for the cultists themselves to question what exactly “Hope” and “Change” mean for situations like the one we are faced with now.
We were promised a Lightbringer sent from the stars who would come to the Earth to solve all of our problems. The Nobel Prize Committee affirmed this lunacy by awarding Obama what was supposed to be the planet’s highest honor…and they based their decision on the mere fact he said “Hope” and “Change” a lot and they thought this was a marvelous plan, deserving of an award that was not granted to some of the greatest human beings who have ever lived.
So, Obama’s received so many accolades, and has been crowned by laurels extensively.
He became, to his cult, a demigod.
Now is the time for him and his followers to produce the magic we were promised.
Someone needs to get on television, YouTube, and other visual media and start putting these visuals out there.
We sure would, if we could, but at least we can provide the idea.
Here they go again: what's on the cucumber-and-mayonnaise soggy sandwich menu today? Why, it's Jon Huntsman!
Check this out, because here the Media goes again…trying to push a boring, cucumber-and-mayonnaise, soggy sandwich, Washington Generals Republican to go up against their “Lightbringing” Globetrotter Obama in 2012.
Today it’s Jon Huntsman.
The Media, we honestly believe at this point, has a wheel it spins. On whichever pasty, male, soggy face it lands, some hack then writes a glowing tribute to that particular Republican…to push him to be the GOP’s nominee in 2012. Simultaneously, this stuff is timed with hit pieces on Governor Sarah Palin, calling her polarizing, making up new lies about her, belittling her appearance, or otherwise maligning her.
Beat Palin down, convince fools in the GOP she’s “polarizing and unelectable”, then proffer someone like Huntsman as a Palin alternative…just like the Media did for years with John McCain, so fools higher up in the GOP can say, “See, lookit, we need to run this guy because the press LOVES him. Why, golly, what could go wrong with that, since he gets such great Media coverage. White House, here we come!”.
These people are damn skippy.
We don’t know any other way to put that, because you have also done lost your damn minds if you can’t see through this garbage by now.
The Media wants to run one of the following against Obama in 2012:
(1) Mitt Romney
(2) Tim Pawlenty
(3) John Thune
(4) Jon Huntsman
(5) Mike Huckabee
(6) Newt Gingrich
(7) Bobby Jindal
All of whom would be such a disaster, it would make Bob Dole’s 1996 embarrassment of a hopeless run look like a smart career move in comparison.
We told you about an interesting breakfast we had with a reporter recently, while he was doing a story for CBS about Palin supporters, during which he talked fondly about Mitt Romney and we told him how much we see the Media (that he is part of ) pushing Romney because they don’t want Palin to run in 2012. The reporter didn’t really grasp where we were coming from, because he kept insisting that Democrats on the ground aren’t afraid of the Governor and make fun of her so much. This is indeed true, and if you went to any bar in Chicago and asked the drunks there what they thought, especially here in Boystown, they would say something to the effect that Obama is guaranteed a second term, that the Governor has no chance, and that they’d love to see Obama beat her so easily.
There are reason these guys spend all their time in bars drinking – and it’s because that’s all they are really good for. They hate Governor Palin and make fun of her because Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper, Tina Fey, and Jon Stewart told them to. Talking to them about politics is like treating Flintstones fans as actual paleontologists.
No, we have never said drunks in gay bars are afraid of Sarah Palin and are trying absolutely everything each day to prevent her from being the 2012 GOP nominee.
HOWEVER, we believe this is what the DNC and Media are doing, together, in collusion, because they know Governor Palin will achieve a 1980 Reagan landslide of a victory over our new Jimmy Carter in Obama. They know it. We know it. The drunks will never see it coming.
HENCE, these consistent pushes for the Seven Dwarves to usurp Palin in 2012, the way the Media endeavored to take the nomination away from Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Past is not predictor, but it’s precedent, and for those of us who lived through this garbage the first time two years ago, we can’t help but do everything we can to warn those of you who weren’t paying attention about what’s happening again.
Governor Jan Brewer is AWESOME. Hey Bobby Jindal, please call her and ask her to teach you how to man up.
Great Merciful Zeus.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is a new hero for us…she is rockstar AWESOME. Just listen to her in this clip on Greta van Susteren’s show. It includes a wonderful little bit of theater by our champ Hillary Clinton as well (listen to how Clinton talks, and how she parses what she says, talking about what Obama wants and Obama thinks and not what Hillary herself wants or thinks…making news by tipping the hand of what this administration is going to do under Eric Holder’s Justice Department to the state of Arizona…read into the gamesmanship of this as you like, but also notice how great Hillary looked in the interview while she was doing this, because she knew that day she was going to say something that would have the clip replayed over and over and over again…if you have been following this woman as long as we have, you will notice that whenever she plans on sticking it to someone or saying something she wants repeated, she pulls out all the stops and puts time and attention into her appearance, which she doesn’t actually like doing on normal, average days.).
It is absolutely ridiculous for the Left to insist it’s improper to demand identification from people to prove they belong in this country.
It is absurd the Obama Administration refuses to secure our borders and protect the people of Arizona, and instead attacks Governor Brewer for demanding illegal aliens produce their documentation…in a country where American citizens are forced to show their own identification twelve times a day for various reasons.
Governor Brewer needs to be cloned, and her DNA distributed to all Republicans, because we need more Governors like her.
We need current Governors, like Bobby Jindal, to man up and be more like Governor Brewer…and less like Kenneth the Intern from NBC.
We’re aghast at Jindal’s weak and ineffective response to the calamity that’s going to hit Louisiana’s coast line from the Obamaspill Disaster in the Gulf. AGHAST.
Jindal keeps going on TV to whine about the permits he’s filed, and to talk in his soft and demure little voice about how mean the people in Washington are for not allowing him to do what he wants to do to protect the people of Louisiana.
F***ING MAN UP, JINDAL.
F***ING TAKE G-DAMN CHARGE AND DARE THIS WHITE HOUSE TO STOP YOU.
That’s what we want to see happen.
We want this sniveling little tool to grow a pair, and start acting like the females of his party, like Governor Brewer, Governor Palin, and Congresswoman Bachmann.
Jindal’s latest bit of theater is complaining the Coast Guard wouldn’t let him use oil-scooping boats in Louisiana waters.
Here’s what we would do if we were the Governor of a state facing an approaching disaster:
* F*** the federal government. F*** the White House.
* Get on TV three times a day, morning, noon, and night, and tell the people of Louisiana (and the world) just how incompetent this White House is. Tell everyone exactly what needs to be done that day, and tell them all the people in this administration who have tried to stop it from happening. Let the public try to ferret out the reasons WHY the White House wants Louisiana to be deluged in oil…and make sure people have a vested interest in following the hour by hour developments as you show them everything that could be done that day to prevent this disaster from happening. Not only is this a way to mobilize outrage to make things happen, but it will also doom this “president” in the future because a running record will be kept of his administration’s complete and utter failure in this emergency.
* Pursuant to the above, hire a film crew to follow operations 24/7 and record all of this for posterity. The Governor should keep busy non-stop, and have all of this on film…have every conversation on film…record ALL OF IT and show just how ineffective “Hope” and “Change” are at solving a problem.
* Call up every wealthy person in Louisiana and get a pool of cash going to save the state. Have the political fundraisers of both sides of the aisle burn up the lines and visit the rich in person and ask everyone who loves Louisiana to pony up, or move the Hell out once this is done. We can tell you this, if our hometowns and home states were facing destruction, and someone appealed to us to help them survive and fend off disaster, every cent we had would go into that fund. Hell, just TRY to stop us from pitching in everything we’ve got to defend Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, or New York. Especially Cleveland. You ever f*** with Cleveland, and you’ll bear witness to an instant mobilization of more spirit than even we ever dreamed was in us. The Governor needs to sound this alarum bell…he needs to raise the clarion call…he needs to send a shockwave of local patriotism and love of state through his people and gather up the financial resources to do whatever it takes to SAVE OUR STATE.
* With the help of that item above, the Governor needs to use every last damn cent he has available to him, including everything he can get on a volunteer or lend-lease basis, to SAVE HIS F***ING STATE. This is no time for Jindal’s trademarked, patented, Kenneth the Intern impression. This is not a cucumber-and-mayonnaise sissyfest party with Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Cabbage Patch dolls. This is big-time, He-Man, brass balls, ass-kicking time…and Jindal needs to rise to the occasion and become a master of his own universe. The timid mouse needs to ROAR, right licketysplit QUICK. He needs to find it in him to become a superhuman general and marshal every last resource to SAVE HIS F***KING STATE. That’s what’s required of him. Yes, it’s unfair to ask him to become something he has never been, and to exceed all previous expectations of him, but he needs to do this. Or step out of the way and let someone who can take the helm…even if he needs to invite Governor Sarah Palin herself to step in and do it for him. Man up, or get out of the way and let the ‘Cuda take over and GET IT DONE.
* Governor Jindal needs to embarrass the White House and federal government into doing what needs to be done. The easiest way to do this is for Jindal to decide a course of action and stick with it. If the White House tries to stop him, expose this for the world to see and make the White House take the unprecedented step of using the United States Military or some other federal arm to arrest the Governor of Louisiana for trying to SAVE HIS STATE. If Jindal has decided sand islands will save Louisiana, Jindal needs to send out an SOS to all who will listen to get boats and sand and build those islands. Jindal needs to get Governors Barbour and Perry on the phone and ask for every boat they can spare in Mississippi and Texas to head down to Louisiana and help. Jindal needs to set up a way for regular citizens with boats and able bodies to spare to head down to Louisiana and help SAVE THIS STATE. Every last state employee of Louisiana needs to be ordered to drop whatever they are doing and get into emergency mode and stop this oil from hitting Louisiana shores. If the Coast Guard under orders of the White House tries to stop this from happening, then the Coast Guard officers on board those boats need to be confronted with the reality of firing against innocent, unarmed, American citizens trying to save their state. The Coast Guard brass needs to confront the reality of following orders to attack American citizens by order of the White House. Then, Americans needs to confront the reality that the sitting “president” has ordered the military to attack civilians who are trying to SAVE THEIR STATE FROM DISASTER. We think that’s pretty much an impeachable offense, right there, for the Lightbringer.
In short, Bobby Jindal needs to become a big boy now. He needs to man up. He needs to stare the White House down and realize there is no real way for Obama to stop him from saving Louisiana, lest Obama actually appear to be trying to destroy Louisiana. It will most definitely be scary for Jindal to stand up like a man for the first time in his entire life and not cower or be bullied, like usual, and to not appear in public like Kenneth the Intern.
But, honest to goodness, if there was ever a “What would Ronald Reagan do?” moment in life, it’s this right here. This is when Reagan’s “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” speech echoes over and over in our heads, and fuels the passion you read in this lines here. Jindal needs to stand with his back to the ocean, point to it and command, “Mr. Obama, get off your sorry ass and SAVE OUR STATE! Do SOMETHING to stop this oil! Do what I am telling you to do, or get the flying F*** out of my F***ING way as I do it my damn self!”.
Not only is this great political theater, and something that would reverberate against Obama for the rest of his “presidency”, but it would surely shame the White House into not only getting out of Jindal’s way, but into FINALLY marshaling the federal resources to save the Louisiana coastline.
Why Jindal isn’t doing any of this is just beyond us. Maybe he’s stupid. Maybe he’s just too much of a wimp to attempt it. But, we’re running out of patience with this man. We might not be from the South, but we love Louisiana. And we can’t help thinking about the good people there, and knowing how we’d feel if it was Ohio, and Greater Cleveland, in trouble.
Watching the Coast Guard stop efforts to save the state…watching the White House prevent Jindal from doing what needs to be done…watching Democrats sit back while a Republican-voting state is destroyed, perhaps for political reasons.
It just BOILS OUR BLOOD.
And we wish it would conjure some sort of magical transformation in Kenneth the Intern to turn Bobby Jindal into a passable copy of Governors Brewer or Palin just long enough for him to avert disaster in a state we do most surely love.
******************
UPDATE: We added the above video because: (1) Bonnie Tyler is awesome in any situation, (2) it’s what plays in our head whenever anyone or anything we love is attacked, and (3) it’s from the most awesomest movie ever, Footloose.
Louisiana is under attack not from the oil, but from the White House, and the current “president” due to his incompetence.
We need Bobby Jindal to either be a hero, or to get out of the way and summon heroes to save the day.
Governor Palin…Governor Brewer…Governor Christie…Congresswoman Bachmann…you heroes listening?
Because WE NEED YOU to kick Jindal in the right gear. Pronto.
IDEA: destroy the Race Industry with clever TV commercials exposing the lunacy of race-baiting
On Wednesday, we went to Sidetracks 28th anniversary party here in Chicago, and ran into a lot of people we never see out in bars anymore, because so many people are unemployed and can’t afford to go out these days (welcome to the “Hope and Change” Obama economy). So, two hours of free open bar and mini-buffets attracted a lot of acquaintances we don’t get to talk to as much as we’d like, and it was nice catching up with them.
As we walked into Glass Bar, the biggest room in Sidetracks, we spotted our good friend Althea, looking GORGEOUS, in a sharp blue and white ruffled Marc Jacobs dress she got at a great consignment shop on Broadway (another economic indicator of the Obama economy: people selling their designer clothes for next to nothing to make any money they can). Althea looks like a younger, prettier, more elegant Grace Jones, with oversized personality to match, so running into her unexpectedly is always pure joy — and a guarantee for a never dull evening. That night, Althea was there with her friend Michel, who is a man, but with a French name that makes people think he’s a foreign woman (or, possibly, a male-dressing lesbian).
Althea describes Michel as her “fop”, which she says stands for “Friend of Princess”, wherein Althea’s the princess and Michel’s the male friend, which Althea claims is her way of making the best of a “fag hag” situation, since no one in our circles likes the term for a straight woman who hangs out with a gay man. ”Fairy’s princess” is a nicer way to put that, but there’s still a sense of pejorative there, in that you are now calling the gay man a “fairy” instead of calling the straight woman a “hag” (in addition to calling the gay dude a “fag”, which is a double pejorative come to think of it). Normally, people put the oddity emphasis on the woman for being out with a gay guy, but Althea’s “fop” reference puts the spotlight on Michel for being her friend, the friend of a princess…a fop.
Which is also an archaic word for the kind of gay guy Michel actually is (slight, into fashion, with a little guy liner thrown in the mix), so we get Althea’s inside joke as much as we dig her killer, always appropriate style (paging Michelle Obama, here’s one of many elegant black women you could learn a thing or eleventy from).
As we were talking to Althea, she told Michel we’d gone to Gay Days at Disney this year for a few projects we were involved in, and Michel told us about his friend Dan who also went, but had a terrible time. Dan’s black, and has been accusing everyone involved with Gay Days of being RAAACISTS, which really took us by surprise because Gay Days was one of the very best times we’ve ever had…and we saw people of all shapes, sizes, stripes and colors having a ridiculously good time in Orlando. Well, Dan’s been going on and on about an incident that happened at the Doubletree host hotel, at one of the pool parties they had, where security removed Dan from the pool area for not having a party wrist band on — but Dan claims this was RAAACIST because he says he saw white people at the party who didn’t have wrist bands on who were not removed. So, Dan’s been calling the NAACP, Rainbow Push, the Human Rights Campaign, and all the usual Liberal suspects over this “outrage” for two full weeks, screaming and yelling about him being discriminated against.
Well, let us tell you this right now, WE all stayed at the host hotel. WE all went to those pool parties, where a color-coded wrist band was needed for entry to all parties (it was a different colored wrist band for every party, with two parties held every day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening). WE saw guys of all colors ejected from the pool and pool deck area for not having the right wrist bands on. Not just black people, but white guys, Gaysians, Mexicans, twinks, bears, wolves, fops, you name it. If you didn’t have your lime green wrist band on during the lime green Friday afternoon pool party, your speedo-covered butt would get hauled out of the crowd by a burly security guard, whether Lady Gaga was playing or not, regardless of your need to dance in the water to said Gaga.
The guards didn’t care if you were color-blind either. If you had a red band on and it was the green party, you got the boot until you could come back with the right band for the party. No exceptions.
In fact, they even kicked Panda out at one point, because instead of coming with us to Epcot (which he says is boring, because it’s “a museum inside a golf ball”) on the last Sunday of Gay Days, he lounged by the pool all day, and overstayed the afternoon party into the evening one (without the orange requisite night time wrist band). So, after 6pm when the afternoon’s wrist band expired, security approached Panda, and for a fleeting terrified minute he thought it was some psychic-related pre-emptive sting regarding the towels and blanket he planned to steal from the hotel when we left the next day (“because they were so soft, even on parts of (me) that are sunburned”). Instead, security just told him he needed the right wrist band to be there, so he had to go back to his room and get it.
Which, Panda did, with his usual flair, but without any sort of scene or incident. He didn’t start wailing that he was discriminated against because he is Gaysian, or because he’s chubby, or because he was wearing a fedora and sunglasses and what some of us likened to the muumuus Imelda Marcos herself favored. Panda just got off his lounge chair, told anyone who would listen he’d be right back, had a little Nebraska guy in his tiny pink Speedo hold his mimosa for him, and went back to the room to get his correct wrist band.
So, why didn’t Dan do that?
Because Dan’s one of the black people in this country who try desperately to make absolutely everything that happens to them be about their race, in hopes of either getting attention from it, or getting something for free.
As we probed Michel for more information on the “travesty” that befell this Dan character at Gay Days, we found out that, yes, indeed, Dan was demanding a refund of his hotel bill because he was discriminated against by Doubletree. It turns out Dan’s unemployed and should not have really gone to Gay Days, because Dan could not afford it, and now Dan is faced with a credit card bill that Dan does not want. So, Dan being a black man with no shame or decency has decided to invent RAAACISM! as an excuse to look for something for free, cause a scene, and burden Doubletree, Gay Days, and all sorts of other people with warrantless accusations that waste time and further make the Henry Gates wing of the black community look absolutely ridiculous for continuing the meme that everything bad that happens to blacks is because of RAAACISM.
Althea thought Dan was full of it, and told Michel so.
“Did Dan have the right wrist band on?,” Althea asked, and Michel said “no”.
“Then Dan should have been thrown out and told to get the right wrist band, case closed. Dan should worry about Dan, not what other people are doing, and whether or not he thinks other people are being told to follow the rules too, because Dan can’t see everything that’s going on and Dan is paranoid and delusional ot make assumptions Dan has no way of proving.”
We don’t know Dan, but we’d love to get Dan and Althea in a room together, because there’s nobody that can set a fool straight better than her (or, possibly, Mr. T., but Althea works without his pity).
We’d also love to see the Tea Party and grassroots efforts out there in America deal a death blow to the Race Industry in this country and get people talking about these ridiculous charges of RAAACISM lobbed whenever either black people want something for free, or when the Left wants to attack someone on the right for something unwarranted. The Left has used false accusations of RAAACISM for years to take down opponents — it’s the nuclear option the Left lets fly with reckless abandon, targeting people on a personal level and maligning them as RAAACISTS because it’s difficult-to-impossible for anyone targeted to ever prove they aren’t what they are being accused of.
The Obama campaign in 2008 used this as a very effective and favorite weapon, accusing just about everyone who opposed “The Lightbringer” of being a damn, dirty, RAAACIST. The Clintons were racists. All Hillary Clinton’s supporters were racists. Geraldine Ferraro was racist. John McCain was racist. Sarah Palin was racist. All Republicans were racists. All Clinton primary voters were racists. All McCain general election voters were racists. America is racist.
And, yet, a black man is “president”, with all of this racism just running so rampant.
Amazing, isn’t it?
We’ve reached a juncture in our nation’s history where the Race Industry needs to be shut down. For good. As so many good, decent, worthwhile businesses go under in the Obama economy, why not bankrupt the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson/Henry Gates gravy train while we’re at it?
Listening to Michel recount Dan’s saga of imagined woe and discrimination, we flashed on a way to do just this — by recreating Dan’s life of imaginary RAAACISM on film, and carving it into little YouTube commercials calling the Race Industry out on what it truly is.
Just imagine if there were little videos of a black man walking around Chicago, claiming everything that happened to him was because of racism.
* It starts to rain and he has forgot his umbrella, but others walking passed him remembered theirs, so of course this is RAAACISM!
* It’s lunchtime, and people are lined up to buy their hotdogs from the vendor on the corner. Dan wants a hotdog, but pulls out his wallet and has no money, so he shouts RAAACISM! because he didn’t remember to get money for his lunch.
* The El train is pulling into a station and is packed with people. Only a few that were standing on the platform are able to board the train, leaving Dan and lots of others waiting for the next train. Dan screams RAAACISM! because he did not get there early enough to beat rush hour traffic.
* Dan’s in line for a movie that’s sold-out, but when he gets to the ticket taker, he has no ticket, and screams RAAACISM when he’s not allowed inside.
In the Alinksy Handbook, the greatest weapon of all is ridicule.
For whatever reason, Americans have always been afraid of taking on the Race Industry head-on, and have allowed Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson/Henry Gates and their ilk to make great sums of money by shaking down corporate America and inventing all manner of Dan-grade false accusations of RAAACISM for their personal enjoyment and profit. The black community has been wailing and crying about RAAACISM, unfoundedly and illegitimately so, for the last three decades, when the only real racism we see happening in this country is at the ballot box…where blacks race-vote for candidates based on skin color, and race-vote against gays every chance they get (like we saw with Prop-8 in California, which succeeded because of black Democrat support, no matter what lies the Left wants to tell you about Mormons).
The problem, of course, is that if you dare to talk about any of this, you will be targeted by the Left and called a RAAACIST, as that’s the only thing the Left knows how to do. The Alinsky Method does not have a defense written out to protect the use of the race-card or to defend race-baiting, because it’s assumed these weapons are counter-attack proof.
There has never been a move from the right or middle to counter the Left on these grounds, and to take away their most effective and favorite weapon, so we believe the Left is defenseless in this area.
The critical weakness they face is ridicule…if Americans start to see people like Dan as the childish, delusional charlatans they are…people who use false claims of RAAACISM to try to get things for free or as attempts to blame their own failings and shortcomings on the nebulous villain of “RAAACISM!”…then the Sharpton/Jackson/Gates industry will suffer a major blow to its credibility, and ability to inflict the damage they do on a regular basis.
Andrew Breitbart really started the ball rolling with this, by calling out the Race Industry in March over its false claims that unidentified and undocumented racial slurs were thrown at black members of Congress as they walked with Nancy Pelosi on March 20th across the Capitol Grounds to sign the Obamacare bill. James Clyburne, John Lewis, and the other shameful race-hucksters in the Congressional Black Caucus all wailed and rolled around on the floor having seizures screaming RAAACISM!…but no racial epithets were actually hurled at anyone. Despite having hundreds of cameras trained on this event, and Breitbart offering an enormous reward for footage verifying the Race Industry’s claims, no one has ever come forward to back up the CBC’s claims of RAAACISM that day.
Breitbart had the guts to — FINALY — call these clowns and lying frauds out for what they really are, and they slinked away and backed down when they realized they were — AT LAST — being forced to put up or shut up.
We think Breitbart’s spirit needs to go further, and wish there was a group out there that could hire actors, writers, and videographers to produce the “Dan” videos we described above…and really start to communicate to Americans that it is, in fact, okay to call these hucksters out. The Race Industry is nothing but a pack of shameless bullies inventing these race scandals to turn a profit. People like Dan follow the Sharpton/Jackson/Gates example in their own lives, and use RAAACISM as their get-out-0f-jail card for almost every situation in which they find themselves wrong, embarrassed, short on funds, or desiring something for free.
That really needs to stop.
It’s going to take guts to stop it.
And, we believe, it’s going to take creative ridicule and an orchestrated grassroots effort to take the Race Industry down once and for all.
Can you even begin to imagine how toothless and lost the Left would be without its go-to weapon, and the control over the black community this cudgel has always allowed Democrats to maintain?
Think about it.
We would never campaign for, or vote for, Obama as president — even if he ran with Hillary Clinton as his VP
Increasingly, the only fool’s hope of saving the current “president’s” floundering and rudderless administration seems to be chatter in the Media about Obama dumping Biden and replacing him with Hillary Clinton as his VP…a move we believe would be the worst thing Hillary Clinton has ever done, and bigger than the mistake she made in 2008 of not hammering Obama with everything she had on him in terms of Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, the Yesse Yehudah pay-to-play bribe, and, of course, Man’s Country (which we believe the Clinton team knew about too). We know why Clinton didn’t hit Obama harder, because the threat against the Clintons was that Team Obama would nuke them with not just the race card, but a full-on race war against the Clinton brand in the black community, permanently alienating them from a base they needed to win back the White House. As we keep telling you, Clinton’s hands were always tied in this, because if Obama and his black surrogates actually mobilized the black voter bloc against Hillary…and kept that mobilized against her in the general election, she would have lost the presidency in her one shot at the big job…and Obama would have just gone on to become the nominee in 2012 after her defeat.
Now, John McCain has never explained why HE didn’t hit Obama with everything that was out there on him, considering blacks were going to vote for Obama no matter what…so perhaps threatening race wars was what Team Obama did behind the scenes to McCain to tie his hands.
Governor Palin wanted to hammer Obama nine ways to Sunday, but was restrained by McCain. For the record, this is one reason there’s no wonder in the world that we so strongly support this woman…and believe she is the only one out there who can and will defeat Obama in 2012. She will be restrained by NO ONE when it’s her campaign, and she will pull no punches. Run, Sarah, run.
Almost every day, some of you out there ask what we would do if the Media speculation ends up being correct and Biden’s either replaced as VP before 2012, citing health reasons (perhaps do to eating too much of other people’s ice cream), or possibly when he’s sent on a diplomatic mission somewhere into the deepest part of the Amazon and just never comes out (which, let’s be honest, is totally something Biden would do), or replaced on the ticket in 2012.
Frankly, there is just nothing in the world that could happen to make us ever support an Obama presidential campaign, because we do not support having this inexperienced, fumbling, effete, America-hating socialist as president under any circumstances. He is bad for this country. Every day, he damages our nation more and more. If his agenda is not to tank the economy and ruin America, then his incompetence is making that happen any way. Either way, he should be a one-termer.
Two things would happen if Hillary Clinton became either his VP or his VP nominee:
(1) We would lose immediate respect for Hillary Clinton, and our perception of her would never recover. The only consolation in the move would be that she’d earn a deserved spot in the history books as the first female VP (if she replaced Biden) or as the second Democrat (and only third woman) to ever land the VP slot on a presidential ticket. That would be nice for her, and if that makes her happy, then we’d be happy for her. She has always been very good to not just us, but people we know, and we’ve had the extreme pleasure of seeing her up close dozens of times and spending a fair amount of time with her, so we can honestly say she is a good woman who reminds us of a favorite, brilliant, hard-working, America-loving aunt. We love the woman, and always will, and it haunts us in ways we can never express that we didn’t find a way to win the nomination for her in 2008 — not just for her, but because we know that in the alternate universe where Hillary won, none of the bad things happening to our country would be happening, because Obama would not be president. Having Hillary as VP would not mitigate anything Obama does, just as having “experienced” Biden has never slowed Obama down. Say what you want about Biden — and there’s a lot of ridiculous things to say about a man who is essentially an untrained, makeup-less clown — but Joe Biden is no socialist, and Joe Biden loves America. If a VP had the ability to stop damage from being done to the country, Biden would be stopping it, because Biden loves this country. Thus, we don’t think having Hillary Clinton as VP would make things better for America, and would just be a way for this desperate fey “president” to secure a second term. We can’t support that.
(2) Pursuant to the above, we would continue campaigning against Obama, and would keep doing all we could to make sure he is defeated in 2012. For Palin supporters, moving Hillary Clinton into the Naval Observatory or giving her that VP berth on the ticket would certainly bolster Palin’s chances to win the GOP presidential nomination (though, we think the nomination and presidency are already hers if she wants them, and we intend to stand with her every step of the way). We think it’s going to be hard for any thinking person in the GOP to argue that cucumber-and-mayonnaise soggy sandwiches like Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty should be the nominee instead of Palin already, but with a female VP on the other side of the ticket, it sure would look ridiculous for Republicans to insist on a sausagefest on their side of the aisle. Since Palin would not run as VP again, and running some other woman instead of her in either spot on the ticket would certainly infuriate a great many people, even the dimmest bulbs at the RNC would see the writing on the wall that Governor Palin has been called to the presidency (as we believe she has been). We believe any movement of Hillary Clinton towards the VP slot will not only strengthen Palin’s support, but will also show just how weak Obama has become and how fractured the Democrats truly are…if he has to resort to calling in help from Hillary to save himself.
All of this leaves an amazingly bad taste in our mouths, and frankly, we’re going to let friends of Hillary’s here in Chicago know this. Sometimes, when the Media starts chattering about things, it’s because they are sending out trial balloons to gauge public support for crazy ideas.
We think the Clinton brand is damaged by sending Hillary in to save the man who called them both racists in 2008, and whose supporters terrorized Hillary volunteers and voters in the primaries and general election. The Clintons should not save someone who engaged in voter fraud, intimidation, threats, and race-baiting. He won, as he loved putting it, and now he’s made his mess: let him save himself, or go down in flames. Whatever happened to “Yes He Can”?
It actually might be really surprising for Hillary Clinton to hear that a good portion of her supporters would not work for her again, and would not back her, should she agree to carry Obama’s sorry ass over the finish line for a second term. We think doing this would degrade her, and would diminish her in our eyes. And we keep coming back to the fact that we believe Obama is terrible for this country…and if Clinton puts whatever interest she has in being VP above what’s best for the country, then we’d have to reevaluate how we feel about someone we have loved and supported since we first heard about her in the late 80s, early 90s.
We sure hope this speculative future doesn’t happen, because we don’t even want to think of the emotional terrorism that would wreck upon us.
The only way for America to begin to recover from the damage Obama has done to the country is to boot him out of office in 2012. That is our goal, and that goal is not changing no matter what else happens on the sidelines.
Our goal is to make Governor Palin the Republicans’ nominee in 2012 because we believe she is the only person we can see on the field who has what it takes to save this country and get our nation back on track. We believe in her more and more every day, and love the fact she has the guts to do a lot of the things we wish Hillary Clinton had done in 2008 to Obama…but was restrained from doing because of all of Obama’s race threats.
There aren’t enough words to tell you how refreshing and thrilling it is to see that the Governor is not afraid of anyone, and is willing and able to be a vocal thorn in Obama’s golden, laureled crown slowly driving him insane by speaking the truth about him in every way she can. We understand why Hillary Clinton was never able to properly do that — because the threats Obama made were real and we have no doubt he and his “fashion icon” wife would have gone through with them in a scorched earth campaign — but we love Governor Palin for having the guts, strength, and determination to keep reminding Americans this would-be emperor has no clothes.
And, in our opinion, no chance of winning re-election, Hillary or no Hillary.

*******************************************************
Today, a few of us are going to try to get into the Blagojevich trial here in Chicago. We’re going to try to attend as often as possible throughout the summer, whenever we don’t have anywhere to be in the morning. Wish us luck getting in — since it’s the first time we’re trying, who knows if we’ll succeed, but we’re giving it a shot and will take lots of notes and report back on what we see, for sure.

Here’s a bit of fruit related hilarity that does indeed make us think about the value of organic produce.
On Wednesday, Panda came by Buzzquarters after stopping by Whole Foods (the one that’s right next to the Center on Halsted). He had with him a big recycled paper products leaking to-go container, from the hot buffet they have (which is expensive but very, very good), and three small bags of peaches, nectarines, and something that looked like an apricot but wasn’t, and was some kind of mutant Liger or Tygon of a fruit.
The peaches were very good, and we ate all but one of them, but no one really touched the other fruits, and Panda was nice enough to leave them in the kitchen on the counter, in an air-conditioned apartment, where none of us thought about them until tonight, just two days later, when we felt like finishing off that fruit.
ALL OF IT WAS ROTTEN.
The kind of rotten we’ve only seen in George Romero movies. The kind of rotten that surpasses Morgan Spurlock’s “Supersize Me” experiments where he put Big Macs under bell jars then moved away for five months before returning to find the sandwiches liquified.
It was shocking, actually, because none of us had ever seen fruit rot that fast before. All of us are used to fruit bowls sitting out in kitchens, where peaches, apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, nectarines, plums, you name it were waiting in the morning for breakfast or evening snacks…and grocery shopping was always done once a week, and this fruit did not go bad that fast.
Luckily, Panda had these pieces of fruit in the Whole Foods plastic bags, because they literally liquified into brown, watery gunk in the bags. It looked like we’d gone on vacation for a few weeks and forgot about them, instead of this being just two days after the fruit was bought.
As we were talking about how strange this all was, we looked at a sticker on the fruit and realized Panda bought the organic stuff…no pesticides or decomposition inhibitors. They were probably already rotten an hour after he brought them to us from the store.
This “organic” business is just crazy. If you aren’t Oprah, and don’t devour everything within grasp of your never-satiated gullet as rapidly as possible, then how are you ever supposed to eat this fruit? Do you have to go to the store EVERY DAY like you are Laura Ingalls, and if so, do you get to pay a penny for three bags of stuff and still complain about how expensive it is, while wearing creepy pigtails?
Some day, remind us to tell you about this man who lives in the most expensive condo we’ve ever been in. We worked a fundraiser at his palace during the 2008 campaign, and he was a Hillary guy, but he was absolutely organic bat-guano CRAZY. We’ll tell you the story of just how far he took this organic garbage, and it involves crickets. ”An excellent source of protein”. We call him the “bug-guy”. Which pretty much tells his story for all intents and purposes, so forget about the reminding us thing, and just eat your crickets before they rot.
Hope!
Change!
Organic produce!

GREAT MERCIFUL ZEUS the Race Industry has hit a new low point of ridiculousness — upset that Angelina Jolie is playing Cleopatra (a Greek woman)
The last pharaoh of Egypt, Cleopatra, was not a black woman -- no matter how loudly the Race Industry wants to shout otherwise.
This is really hilarious to us, as guys who’ve always loved Egyptian history: the Race Industry and various black message boards are foaming at the mouth, shouting RAAACISM! again, because they are upset a black woman is not playing Cleopatra, and instead the role went to Angelina Jolie.
Honestly, this is like being upset Morgan Freeman is not playing George Washington in a new movie…because Cleopatra was white.
Idiots.
She was Greek, in fact…a descendent of Ptolemy, whom Alexander the Great…a Greek…installed as Pharaoh of Egypt after Alexander conquered it.
Egyptians, too, for the record, weren’t black either.
Have any of these people ever been to a museum? Most of them, even in the smallest of towns, have an Egyptian exhibit of some kind. The tomb carvings were elegantly painted using realistic colors…and the Egyptians did not paint themselves black, though they had plenty of black paint. When depicting Nubians and other African peoples, they used the black paint. For themselves, they used a reddish, coppery sort of color.
Which wasn’t black.
No matter how much the Race Industry wants to wail and scream about it.
You can’t rewrite history, race-baiters.
And you can’t make Cleopatra black when she wasn’t.
For the record, Amelia Earhart wasn’t black either. Neither was Joan of Arc. Madame Curie? Not black. Catherine the Great? Not the least bit black. Marie Antoinette? Not black, but we sure know a black woman who would be excellent at playing her on film, since she’s getting so much practice in real life living as extravagantly as possible with absolutely zero concern for the suffering of the average people in her country.
Wonder who that talented fashion icon would be.
Thoughts?
PROJECT: How many times in a week are you asked to present an ID of any kind?
We told you the story of our friend Jess who witnessed a crime being committed here in Boystown a few weeks back.
As the police were interviewing her — as an innocent witness, uninvolved in the crime, who just happened to be in the store while a shoplifter was apprehended — the cops asked for her ID.
She didn’t hesitate, and immediately produced her US passport, which she carries at all times in addition to her Illinois driver’s license (which has a hideous picture of her on it, while the passport photos could have been taken by Herb Ritts…AND the new US passports are GORGEOUS, with a bald eagle and Old Glory on the first page, and all sorts of patriotic American images on all pages thereafter. Honestly, it’s GORGEOUS, and makes us all jealous we don’t have our new ones yet).
Today, when we were talking to her, she actually brought up the fact that the police asked her for her ID — and then wondered what on Earth the Left is screaming about in regards to illegal aliens in America, and how it’s such a burden for them to produce their papers.
Jess is an American citizen who committed no crime, and was just standing in a store shopping, and she was told to show her ID.
Should she contact the ACLU and sue the City of Chicago, Chicago Police Department, the store she was standing in, and the federal government over the fact she was asked to produce her papers that identified just who in the Hell she was?
Should Jess have refused to produce her ID?
What would the police have done then?
Could they have arrested her for refusing to comply with this request?
We’d love some answers to these questions, especially from any lawyers out there who are reading this.
We’d also like you to join us in a little project we want to start for next week…and keep track of how many times in a seven day period you are asked to produce an ID for anything.
We need to show our IDs to get into any of the bars in Boystown…even the ones where at least one of us has dated every bartender and bouncer in the joint. We know these people intimately, in every sense of those words, and yet, in Chicago, they still need to see our IDs. No one — NO ONE — is allowed in without showing an ID.
Back in Cleveland in the 90s, when one of us worked for a fancy hotel there, Tina Turner was in the hotel bar and the staff could not serve her because she did not have her ID. The woman was TINA TURNER. In full Tina Turner wig. She even had her latest CD in her purse, with her picture on it. And she could not be served without her ID. And she was TINA TURNER.
90% of the stores we shop in here in Chicago require an ID to use a credit card.
The bank requires an ID for most transactions at the teller’s window.
The Post Office requires an ID for certain transactions as well.
What other times during the day do you need to show an ID?
At each of these junctures in time, could we raise a big stink about showing an ID, and claim we are being discriminated against in some way, because it’s the Left’s opinion that ID-checking is wrong for some reason?
We believe this is an incredibly foolish position for Democrats to take, because if the Tea Party and grassroots groups got ahold of this issue and asked Americans at large how often they have to show an ID in a week — and perhaps a commercial was made to this effect — then America at large will ask what the big deal is about asking illegals to show their identification.
If we have to show our IDs to get a drink at Sidetracks, and we’ve seen the people checking those IDs naked, and they’ve made breakfast for us, and we STILL have to show the ID, then we’re sorry Pablo and Esmerelda, it just doesn’t cut it that you don’t have to show yours ever.
MISSION: Find a way to get regular Americans to understand the economic ruin Cap & Tax would be and expose the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming once and for all.
Consider this thread a brainstorming session.
We see a real and pressing need to get regular Americans — the kind who don’t follow the news and politics but who do vote — to understand the full scope of ruin Cap & Tax will do to the country.
We also need them to finally understand Climategate, and the absurdity of Al Gore’s Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
We can’t count on Republicans to do this for us…this has to be something regular people out there get behind, because the GOP is truly the Party of Stupid when it comes to things like this.
The Tea Party needs to take this up as a cause, because Cap & Tax is going to kill hundreds of thousands of jobs, raise taxes, make utility bills ridiculously high for most people, and make gasoline European-priced…if Democrats have their way.
How can regular people be tuned into this?
Once tuned in, what do people need to do about Cap & Tax?
How can we prevent a lame duck Democrat majority from ramming Cap & Tax through between the aftermath of the November elections and when the new Congress is installed in January 2011?
Start thinking…because we all need to start working an Action Plan on this next week if we want to thwart the White House’s latest attempt to ruin the economy.
Insight into why crime statistics in Boystown do not reflect the real amount of crime in Chicago: it's a pain in the neck to follow through on the process
Here’s a little anecdote for you from our week here in Boystown that gave us a bit more insight into the numbers shell game the media plays with crime statistics.
Two weeks ago, our friend Jess witnessed a shoplifting incident at a clothing store near Boystown, in which she actually pointed out to the clerk that a man in very bad drag was shoving packs of underwear up “his” dress. The clerk called the cops, who arrived, arrested the man, and then took Jess’ information as a witness to what happened, telling her that she’d get a letter in the mail informing her when she’d have to testify against this individual. After the police ran his name in their computers, they saw he had a long history of this sort of thing, and emphasized the importance of Jess appearing in court to testify as to what she witnessed.
Well, here’s where things get interesting, because now a lot of the crime in Chicago makes more sense.
Jess didn’t get a letter about the case until the day before she had to appear and testify. It’s a good thing she’s unemployed right now and has no kids or other responsibilities, because otherwise she would not have been able to drop everything and make it to court the way she did.
The court ended up being on the opposite side of town from which the police told her it would be, so she had to scramble to figure out how she was going to get there. And, of course, it was in a rough neighborhood she was afraid to go to alone, so one of us went with her. Who else out there has a group of guys who can just take the whole morning to accompany you somewhere scary when you need them?
Getting to court, everything was completely disorganized. It took a good 25 minutes to figure out where Jess had to go, despite Jess having a letter from the state’s attorney with a bunch of case numbers etc. on it. No one who worked in the building was able to tell her where she needed to be, and all stared at the paper she was sent as if they had never seen anything like it before. One woman was nice enough to try to look the case up in her computer, but her computer wasn’t working properly and what came up on the screen was all garbled numbers and Klingon love poems.
She whacked it on its side really hard, and it came back into English, like in a cartoon.
Finally, this woman told Jess what room she had to go to and was nice enough to walk us there.
It was a large brick room with church pews in it, with a tiny liberal judge sitting on the bench. As we waited for Jess’ case to be called, we saw a stream of defendants emerge in khaki jumpers, each one of them there for some drug-related charge. After calling their names and listening to the state’s attorney talk about what they did, and hearing the police tell the judge what they saw them do, the judge issued various preliminary decrees and then admonished each of these men for, essentially, being “bad boys”.
This was hilarious to us, because he really did do this: he told each of these guys he was very disappointed in them and that this was no way for them to be living their lives, and that he didn’t want to ever see any of them in his court room again because he wanted them to be good, not bad. Each of the men said, as if scripted, “Sorry judge, I’ll be good from now on”.
Bizarre.
There were a few other shoplifting cases that came up before the one Jess was there for, and it looks like all of those were just dismissed because no one from the stores and no witnesses appeared in court to testify. That seems to be why the police were so adamant that Jess appear that day and tell the judge about the underpants she saw the drag queen steal.
So, at last, after about 2 hours of sitting in the courtroom, and a total of three hours since we left Jess’ house on his adventure, it was time for Jess to testify and she was asked to identify the man who stole the items in the store. It adds a whole new level to something like this when the criminal was in drag when committing the crime, like a Batman villain, and Jess had to look hard at the man’s face to determine whether or not he was the Riddler or whatever, but she was sure it was him and the state’s attorney then had her tell the judge what she saw him do. Then, the defense attorney for the shoplifter asked Jess a few questions about whether or not she really saw the police pull all of the merchandise from under this man’s dress — which seemed like the attorney was implying the police staged some elaborate trap to discriminate against this man, and David Copperfield-like conjured these items from his dress magically to frame him.
We were pretty much, yet again, disgusted with liberalism by the time we finally got out of this court building with Jess about a half hour later.
First, there’s the fact the liberal mindset treats all of these guys like scamps and wayward children, who just need to be reminded to “be good” and that will solve all the problems. No one who came before the judge that day took any of what was going on seriously, since they all gave us the impression they knew they would be on the street again in no time, doing whatever they pleased.
Then, there’s the realization that in a liberal controlled city like Chicago, very few people seem to follow through with anything. The police showed up to testify in their cases because they are paid double and triple time to do so…and those were all the drug possession cases. However, for the shoplifting cases, Jess was the only witness to show up that we observed…and she wasn’t even the victim in that case. We asked the state’s attorney if that was normal, and he said it’s very rare for witnesses to ever show up, so he’s glad that Jess did this because the man they caught had a long history of crimes and this was a violation of his parole. The store he stole from did not send an agent to testify, and we saw three or four other shoplifting cases get seemingly dismissed because Macy’s and Loehmann’s did not send anyone from their stores to stand up and talk about the crimes committed against them. Apparently, this needs to happen for the criminals to be taken off the street.
This made us think, yet again, about the crime that happens in our neighborhood in Boystown.
We’ve seen people literally lying in the street with no one stopping to help them, because guys didn’t want to get involved. We’ve seen thugs snatch purses and push people down trying to grab their wallets or cell phones, and bystanders stop and gawk, but don’t even think to call the police.
So, if there’s that much reluctance to get involved when something is actually happening right in front of them, in the moment, we can just imagine the miniscule percentage of Boystown residents who ever follow through and appear in court for something like Jess had to do.
The fact no one in the court building had any clue how to read the letter that Jess was sent seems to indicate it’s a rare occurrence for anyone to show up with one of those witness summons. Everyone had the surprised reaction of, “You got a letter and you showed up? To testify? We sent you a letter and you came? That’s never happened before”.
Now, what happens to all these criminals who are caught doing something bad, but then no one ever shows up in court to follow through on it? Are they just released, and the case is dismissed and goes away?
If so, then the crime statistics for Chicago must be off by an awful lot.
And the REAL problems we face in places like Boystown are even harder to nail down because you also need to factor in all the things that happen that go unreported because either people don’t want to get involved, are too lazy, don’t know how to report it, or are scared of having to go to places like this court in a bad part of town to follow through on the bureaucracy of all this.
We have no idea how to resolve any of the above, but just mention it because it’s new insight we didn’t have before in terms of what’s going on behind the scenes with all of this.
Any crime statistics used need to be able to accurately reflect everything that’s happening in a neighborhood…not just the few instances where someone is caught, properly processed in the system, and actually gets prosecuted for being “a bad boy”.
