Security Theater of the TSA: the most ineffective and money wasting entity in our government
The TSA is an unfunny joke.
It wastes billions of dollars.
Israel has a more successful, bare bones operation that costs less and is actually designed to identify, apprehend, and capture terrorists.
The TSA is a place for people to work who were too stupid, slow, or lazy to be mall security guards…let alone actual cops.
Instead of looking for terrorists, they are digging for treasure in grandmothers and subjecting little girls en route to Disney World to all manner of unspeakable horrors.
This is all so sick and wrong, Janet Napolitano should be forced to resign over it.
Funny that Big Sis won’t ever have to be exposed to the humiliating measures she’s dictated for grandmothers and girl scouts.
Meanwhile, Muslims -the people actually blowing up planes – won’t be screened as aggressively because that would offend them.
It is high time the rest of America got offended by this administration and put a stop to this draconian insanity.
Great Merciful Zeus: Bill Clinton to appear in The Hangover 2
I knew there was a reason Michelle Antoinette Obama is starring in “A Klingon Christmas Carol” here in Chicago…which seemed a strange choice for her career-wise (but inspired casting).
Well, it seems she’s just trying to scratch President Clinton’s eyes out again, the way she said she wanted to on the 2008 campaign trail.
Must be jealous Clinton did a cameo in The Hangover 2 over the weekend, so she’s trying to top it by doing an entire play.
In the native thlIgon Hol Klingon language.
Is there anything this woman WON’T do for negative attention?
SOS: Save Chicago from Rahm Emanuel
I will have more on this tomorrow, since tonight I am out in rainy Chicago seeing what updates I can get on the Chicago Mayor’s race from my Mos Isly grade cast of oddballs and politicos here in Boystown.
FOX Chicago did a special tonight with a political analyst I know and she flat-out called the media out for being Rahm propagandists.
She also said – point blank – that Rahm is a mean and nasty man who would run this town as an abrasive tyrant.
He has to be stopped…but Democrats are trying to run several hopeless black and Latino candidates against him in the primary to make sure they stupidly split the anti-Rahm vote, leaving him to win when the union muscle and ACORN thugs are summoned by Obama to throw the race to him.
Meanwhile, the Cocktail Party GOP has no interest in running anyone for Mayor. The latest is that someone bought an old mannequin from Marshall Fields at a tag sale and they are going to just run him, because it’s his turn.
The mannequin’s name is Willard Mittney, coincidentally enough.
We need a Momma Grizzly here in Chicago.
We need some Tea Party steam to energize a wealthy, fearless Chicago resident to stand up to Rahm and defeat this foul mouthed tyrant.
I so feel like Princess Leia speaking into R2 when I say this, but Chicago needs your help.
If you are reading this and you are a Momma Grizzly, or know one, we need the GOP nationally to usurp the worthless Cook County and Illinois Cocktail Party entities and really fight for this Mayor’s office.
Take this away from Democrats and cause national harm to the party.
You are Chicago’s only hope.
Please brainstorm who could get involved to take Rahm down.
Anyone have a line to the Koch Bros.?
Sarah Palin's Alaska Watch Thread
Tonight is the premiere of Sarah Palin’s Alaska on TLC.
It airs at 9pm EST/8pm CST.
I haven’t had a TV since 2009, so unless someone can find a streaming link, I will have to try to randomly catch these episodes on the gym’s TV…or in bars or restaurants that might be playing it. Somehow, that seems doubtful in Boystown…but you never know.
Last week, my friend Robby’s sister Ann-Louise attended a sneak peek of the show at the Samsung Experience in New York.
She said there’s a scene with Piper, being a kid, getting into trouble baking a cake and making a mess with the batter. The Governor, being a mom, has to set her straight. Ann-Louise said these scenes make the Palins incredibly relatable, which they are.
Then, there’s a bit out in the woods with bears I bet you’ve seen pieces of…because it is darling.
Ann-Louise said the TLC reps kept insisting to the hostile NYC crowd that this was an Alaska travelogue show and not a political commercial.
They have to say that.
I can tell you it is the smartest and most effective political commercial ever.
It, following in the steps of Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars, is pure brilliant.
The haters will always hate the Palins, no matter what. It is just what they do. This show won’t change that. Governor Palin curing cancer won’t change that. They’d say it took her too long and that she’s a murderer because she didn’t find a cure before a friend’s sister’s neighbor’s friend died of cancer, so how dare the Governor cure cancer NOW?
She will never, ever win these nuts over.
She will never, ever win Manhattan voters.
Great thing is, she doesn’t have to. They won’t be watching this show.
Betcha lots of folks in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina will be watching.
Betcha the Cocktail Party GOP establishment won’t like that.
I know I am going to love the show…and a testament to that will be the creative lengths I will go to to see it.
Please chime in below with your thoughts on the show as it airs, or the strategy behind the Governor doing it.
I swear, this will be studied years from now in political masters classes as the smartest media move a presidential candidate ever made…these become instant one hour long campaign commercials the second the Governor declares her candidacy on February 6th, 2011.
Hmmmm…sure is interesting the run of this show seems to carry through right up to that exact date, almost as if it was planned to end right before the Governor became a candidate for office again.
Coincidence!
ABSOLUTE MUST READ: American Narcissus article in Weekly Standard
http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/american-narcissus_516686.html?page=1
I think the most interesting takeaway in an article just pregnant with insight is the fact that people who knew him in college said he was a pompous, pontificating ass even then.
And that he was just promoted and progressed and given whatever he wanted because he was black, Leftist, and had an exotic name…so no one ever expected him to be able to do a job. They just wanted to look good for having hired him.
Sounds like a lot of 2008 voters.
Seriously? Michelle Obama really did this in public? Seriously?
This is the global fashion icon the Left keeps lauding?
Seriously?
We all miss Michael Jackson. Kind of. In our own ways.
But keeping his spirit alive through crotch-grabbing in Indonesia is inappropriate for a first spouse.
Though, weirdly, this DOES happen to be a canonical Klingon greeting initiating be’joy’, which loses something in translation, but has something to do with grievances, being proud of things for the first time in an adult life, then telling you your kids are too fat while demanding you get her more ribs and hamburgers.
New Spam Filter Live — Let Us Know If You Had Problems
The new spam filter is live, requiring registration with WordPress to comment.
Again, if you don’t like this, I’m sorry but the spam we get here just got to be too much for us to continue allowing unregistered users.
Chiefly, this is a move to stop those Asian spam computers from blasting the site with 300 spam links a day. And it will, of course, discourage a lot of trolls.
How is commenting different now?
I can’t see what you see when you comment because things look differently on this side of the wall…so can someone describe how the new spam wall has made commenting different?
What do you do now instead of before?
Do you stay logged in once you register, or do you have to keep logging back in each day?
Please let us know.
