Why Won't House Democrats Stop the Coming Tax Hike?
The answer of course is simple: the lame liberal ducks want their revenge for being cast out of power, and the next few weeks are their last chance to get even with America.

God Help Me, I Agree with Greenwald
My feelings about U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning are well documented by The Google, which has my blog entries Let's Try Bradley Manning for Treason and Brad Manning, I Hope They Hang You High being the #1 and #2 search results for a search on "Bradley Manning traitor."
In my opinion, by turning over that massive amount of data to a foreign national—including the names of agents and informants that are risking their lives to help our efforts against terrorism—Manning's treason is on par with Benedict Arnold's treasonous attempt to hand West Point to the British. If I had my way, Manning would have a swift and just trial by a military court martial, be found
justly guilty of treason by the overwhelming preponderance of evidence against him, and then executed.
I detest Bradley Manning... but the extended solitary confinement he has endured before even being tried sounds
very much like prisoner abuse.
From the beginning of his detention, Manning has been held in intensive solitary confinement. For 23 out of 24 hours every day -- for seven straight months and counting -- he sits completely alone in his cell. Even inside his cell, his activities are heavily restricted; he's barred even from exercising and is under constant surveillance to enforce those restrictions. For reasons that appear completely punitive, he's being denied many of the most basic attributes of civilized imprisonment, including even a pillow or sheets for his bed (he is not and never has been on suicide watch).
If Manning had been convicted of a capital offense, I would not have such misgivings about his treatment, but treating him to this kind of behavior before he is even tried seems extreme. Do we treat even treat violent murder and rape suspects in the military with pre-trial solitary confinement for months on end like Manning has experienced?
Give him his day in court, and if he is found guilty, put him back in a small isolated cell for the rest of his life or strap him to a gurney and let the drip-drip-drip of poison end him. If convicted, pin a target to his chest and let a firing squad deliver justice.
But Bradley Manning, traitorous little bastard that I suspect him to be, is still entitled to defend himself in court, and it seems to go beyond the pale to treat him in the manner Greenwald describes and that the military doesn't dispute.
He deserves better that this, and as a nation of free men, we must demand better for the sake of our own souls, if not for his.

Meh. In this case, I have trouble getting worked up, especially considering the source material comes from Auntie "Socks" Greenwald.
From what I scanned from Greenwald's hissy fit, Manning has been held in solitary, doesn't have a pillow or sheets, and isn't allowed to see the news. That's it.
Skipping past several paragraphs of Greenie's moronic indignation over solitary confinement, I see he even equates such treatment with torture.
I am supposed to become exercised over this non-controversy?
When someone can substantiate genuine abuse, which would include but not be limited to: beatings, physical torture (e.g. burns, whippings, dislocations, amputations, electrocution, etc.), contamination of food or water (including feces or urine), non-access to clean food or water, continual exposure to below 32F or above 100F, threats to friends or kin... THEN I may begin to credit claims of torture or abuse.
Locked up in a room alone, with no sheets & no TV doesn't cut it, sorry.

I don't know, that's hard to believe he'd be w/o blanket & pillow nor allowed to do some sit-ups or such in his cell. Also, I'm not there but I imagine he is being afforded the opportunity to talk to the chaplain one a week and one of the chaplain's responsibilities is to see that prisoners are treated according to regulation.
Being kept isolated and away from the general prison population? Okay, I can understand that as it might (and I'll stress the word, might) be for his own safety.
Now if it is some sort of punitive punishment while in pre-trial then that's wrong. Whether you like it or not he's innocent UNTIL the court martial proves otherwise.

I don't have much in the way of sympathy for Pfc Manning. However, when we are talking about
"turning over that massive amount of data to a foreign national—including the names of agents and informants that are risking their lives to help our efforts against terrorism"
I have to ask, How is this different from the NY Times? They do this fairly routinely. People die from their revelations. So why are Manning and the WikiLeaks people vilified and the Times not?

TO: All
RE: Manning's Solitaire Confinement....
....is likely due to the idea that he knows even more information that the government doesn't want him to get out. What that information could be is unknown. However isolating him from everyone else is a way of keeping him from passing that information to anyone else.
But, this does not preclude his getting his day in court. The question is, how long does it take for the government to do this sort of thing. In the military, they do it a LOT faster than in the civil sector.

Military justice is normally a lot quicker than this. I wonder if the evidence against Manning has been tainted somehow and become unusable.

If this pretrial treatment as described by Greenwald were true, there would be a motion filed by Manning's defense lawyer(s) to end it. Since there is no such motion mentioned in Greenwald's article, I call bullshit.

Come to think of it, is Greenwald one of the "reporters" who consistently portrayed the treatment of the illegal combatants at Gitmo as torture, only to find out upon their release that most of the detainees at Gitmo had gained like 50 pounds or more, and that each was afforded a q'ran that could only be touched by guards wearing white gloves, among other amenities?

The reason we have solitary for long periods of time is because liberals get squishy about speedy courts-martial followed speedy executions for those found guilty.

PFC Manning is accused of passing classified information to those not authorized to release it. It seems perfectly logical that the military would wish to keep him in solitary until his trial to prevent further release. Why no PT though? That doesn't make any sense.

At the AZ state SMU's, we do give them a sheet and underpants. If they behave, they get socks, then a shirt, then pants (over a period of months). Any infraction and they're back down to a sheet and skivvies. The solitary confinement and 23 hours cell time per day is standard.

"He deserves better that this, and as a nation of free men, we must demand better for the sake of our own souls, if not for his."
You think he's being treated ... unfairly?
Seriously, though. I wouldn't put it quite this way.
Since he has not yet been tried and convicted, the law must hold to the presumption of innocence. Measures aimed at preventing him from evading justice by escape or suicide, or aimed at preventing him from continuing his alleged criminal activities, are reasonable. Measures that are purely aimed at making life hell for him are premature, and are just not acceptable as a matter of law.
That's not because I really think there's any reasonable chance he's innocent. I'm concerned about the integrity of the law, not the wellbeing of Private Manning. Private Manning doesn't deserve better; but the integity and majesty of the law do deserve better.
Give him all the protections mandated by law. Find jurors, somehow, who have better than room temperature IQ and can be objective in evaluating the evidence. When they've duly found him guilty, then start heating up the boiling oil.

This sounds like standard "supermax" procedure. There are several hundred people in Federal prisons that spend life sentences like this. This is not punishment but security. How does Greenwald think they handle prisoners who repeatedly attack other prisoners?
Since Manning is a self-confessed spy, they have to assume he will spill information given the chance so it would be reasonable to keep him secluded from the general population. He might also be at risk in the general population because of his celebrity or because of his treason.

I think a lot of this has to do with the truly spinelessness of the administration. The right way to do this is to gather the evidence, charge him with the harshest possible crimes and proceed to a Courts Martial. However, given that Wikileaks is a cause celebre among many of the administration's support groups and, by extension, anyone helping that cause is considered a folk hero on a par with Ceasar Chavez or Rosa Parks. As such, the powers that be are dragging their feet, hoping to sneak a trial and prosecution in sometime when noone is looking to avoid the embarassing position of having to defend hammering this yutz.

Folks, do we really want the Feds wielding this much power? How long until suspicion of, say, drug dealing, domestic terrorism, or hate crimes is dealt with this severely BEFORE A TRIAL? Keep in mind that the government now considers advocacy of gun rights, smaller government, and home schooling as red flags for potential domestic terrorism.
And now, the central government's outsourced Inquisition, the SPLC, has ruled that support of traditional marriage constitutes hate.

It seems fairly clear cut that Manning is indeed a traitor; but, you are right in insisting that he be given a trial, his due process, and a legal presumption of innocence.
I have warned others and they would not listen. Now I will warn you. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
Truly innocent American citizens will be arrested and imprisoned by this regime without ANY Due Process. Without rights, without a lawyer, without Habeas Corpus, even without any CHARGES.
This is/was the purpose of trying terrorists (who were never provided due process rights) in civilian courts. It serves as a PRECEDENT to imprison INDEFINITELY American Citizens without providing them their Constitutional Rights.
All that will be necessary will be for the Regime to accuse you of "Domestic Terrorism" or even "Domestic Extremism". Two terms defined however the Regime chooses to define them.

Some of you folks may remember when, a few years ago, critics of Guantanamo were claiming to oppose torture. They said the U.S. should never mistreat prisoners because we wouldn't want Americans to be tortured when they're taken prisoner.
Of course, in reality, it turned out that the Guantanamo critics were never willing to speak out about when Americans are mistreated.
This is apparently the one exception.

Horrors! Media Matters Freaks Over Email From Fox News Executive That Calls For Accuracy in Reporting on Climate Change
Lighten up, Francis:
In the midst of global climate change talks last December, a top Fox News official sent an email questioning the "veracity of climate change data" and ordering the network's journalists to "refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question."
Unless you've been living under a rock—or inhabit a cultish, community-based reality—you are well aware that the "science" of climate change science is being hotly debated, and has been for several years. This has been exacerbated by allegations of climate change scientists hiding and/or manipulating data, and of course the heavily-politicized nature of the subject.
Is it a scandal to point out that contested theories are, in fact, hotly contested?
It is for
Media Matters, just one of along line of activist groups that has decided that using the near-certain threat of short-term ecological disaster is a great way to establish control over the general population in the service of their wider agenda.
Despite protestations to the contrary by those with vested political and financial interests, climate change science is a field of study in its infancy with significant room for debate.
Asking for reporters to note the controversial nature of climate science claims is the only responsible position for a news manager to take.
The real question
Media Matters should be asked is why they refuse to push for that kind of transparency in other news agencies.

There is climatology, the study of climate, and there is "climate science," close kin to phrenology.
"Climate science" raises the alarm about melting ice in Greenland, climatology notes the phenomenon and that farms and villages are emerging from the ice.
"Climate scoence" warns about acidification of the seas as they absorb more CO2 via warming, climatologists open a cold beer and note the escaping CO2 as it warms up.

The next time some lefty starts spouting off about "global warming" point them to their favorite source, Wikipedia.
In a few seconds, even the dumbest ideologue can type in something like "last ice age" or "Laurentide" glaciers to see that the "settled" science is that we are in the midst of an interglacial period and that it is more likely, than not, that we will have plenty of cold in earth's future. Just about 15,000 years ago the midwest - think Chicago - was sitting under several thousand feet of ice and humans used the land bridge along the Bearing to trek eastward as that ice age wound down.

Chris, the problem of climate change isn't made irrelevant by pointing out that there will be another ice age in a couple thousand years' time. Most climate scientists (y'know, even the ones on evil Soros's payroll) believe that there will be, and many more after that.
But in the meantime, people actually have to live on this planet. It's cold comfort for future generations of Floridians (or the billions of others living close to ocean coastlines) to know that an ice age is coming a couple thousand years down the road, if a good chunk of their state is underwater 50 or 100 years from now.

Yes, true Andre, but the problem with AGW is that:
The raw data have been manipulated to show warming.
The statistical techniques used to analyze the data are bogus.
The satellite data for earth's radiation budget do not demonstrate the proper response if AGW were true.
Proxy data have been fabricated and manipulated to create false historical temperature curves for modeling.
Since CO2 is a poor greenhouse gas, with 1/10000 the impact of water vapor the assumption is that CO2 forces more water vapor into the air, a questionable assumption.
I could go on, but the problems are so bad I long ago threw out the AGW theory as valid.

So That's What You Meant...Right?
One of the joys of teaching high school English is reading student writing. While many teachers in other disciplines recoil in horror at the amount of reading and grading English teachers do, we tend to enjoy it because it is in student writing that we see their progress and share their epiphanies, their sudden bursts of insight and understanding. On the other hand, we also experience the kind of linguistic pile-ups that can leave a sentence, a paragraph, even an entire essay battered and bleeding.
Over the years, I’ve taken to collecting the bruised victims of those collisions, and rather than patching them up, I cruelly allow them to live as written for the mirth and merriment of others. Sometimes, I can infer what a student actually meant. Often, well, there’s just no telling. You’ll see what I mean.
For your Christmas merriment, enjoy the small gift of these sixty examples of good intentions, yet bizarre accomplishments, from my students!

Thank you SO much for sharing this! Tears of laughter.
And loss.
This is the kind of thing my Dad and I used to share. It's nearing the 3rd anniversary of his passing, and I still miss him dearly.
I choose to see your post as a bit of a "shout out" from Dad. Your lovely turn of phrase in the intro, and the utterly WRONG turns by the students. The kids of the future may only be semi-literate, but at least they amuse us!

Keep laughing. Someday the kids who read with comprehension and write well will all be reporting to adults who write like the kids in these post. Their reports will come back rewritten in this fractured English with the arrogant red ink of "leaders" who have never found it convenient, much less necessary, to learn to write.

About #7,
Just when, exactly, did "hung" become so filthy? Weren't stockings once hung by chimneys with care? Why did we let "hung" become a dirty word, and isn't it about time we took it back and used it as it is properly used?

Anybody Bought Ammo Here?
The Sportsman's Guide has been used by my family over the years for stuff like hunting boots and camping gear, but I also noticed they seem to have a decent selection of ammunition, at what seems to be reasonable prices.
I'm getting low on 9mm practice ammo, and am due for a carry ammo refresh as well.
Has anyone bought from them before? Are their shipping rates and shipping times as reasonable as their prices seem to be?

I've bought from them when times were tough(local WalMart was on speed dial, so I could check for supply daily) and they are decent both in terms of price and delivery. They give out a lot of coupons to ease the cost of delivery.
Also check Alamo Ammo, they comparable prices and good delivery.

I ordered some ammo from them back during the shortage when it was hard to find. They offered some 7.62x39mm ammo at a good price and claimed the ammo would ship quickly. It didn't. After a few weeks they cancelled my order. Shortly thereafter, they started selling the same ammo at a higher price than I had ordered it at.
As far as I'm concerned they're a bunch of cheats and liars. I'll never buy from them again.

I have bought from them numerous times. Never had an issue and shipping ammo is always a bit pricey. weighs a good bit and is an ORMD item limiting how it is able to get from A to B. I also get boots and some work clothes from them, so I joined the Club and will often get the bill pulled over 4 months time, and I spend enough to save more than the yearly fee. Getting good boots is a must for my bad joints, and I stand most of the day on concrete in slick and wet conditions. I keep an eye out for deals on Bates or Wolverines in safety toe and waterproof.

Join their club and the discounts are very good-- coupons are always available for easing the shipping costs. Shop around for the best deal though cause some of their offers are not good. But I've bought .223 and AK spam cans from then at about 20 cents a round-- not bad if you buy in bulk.
Posted by: redleg at December 14, 2010 02:44 PM (jCQ+I)

During the shortage, I use to order ammo from them all the time. I think the trick is to buy as much as possible on your first order when you join the club, because shipping is free for that order.
They also seem to consistently sell 5.7x28 lower than anybody else, though I haven't had to restock my cache with that lately.
Make sure what you want is backordered and you should be fine.

CTD is waaaaay better. You will have your ammo within 3 days. I ordered from the uide, and my ammo arrived 3 days AFTER my trip to VT to teach my 10 yr old how to handle the AR. And this was two weeks after ordering "in stock" 556. Would never use them again.

Did Harry Reid's Incompetence Doom Obamacare?
A VA judge has struck down the individual mandate, and a mistake by the Democratic Senate may leave the entire law undone as a result.
If this ruling (certain to be appealed) stands, would Obamacare really be dead?

Unbelievable. 2000 pages of regulation and it didn't have room for the boilerplate addenda.
This is indeed bad news. Without the mandate for young healthy people to buy insurance, there won't be enough money to pay for treating chronically sick people. This makes the rest of Obamacare an instant financial ruin for private insurance companies.
Posted by: Professor Hale at December 13, 2010 02:05 PM (PDTch)

Unfortunately the judge chose to sever the individual mandate instead of throwing the law out in its entirety. So if this decision stands unchanged (doubtful), it just means that private insurance companies will start going out of business, forcing the government to step in and provide a government run program.
But at least two and possibly three more decisions will be written on this over the next couple of years, so things will likely change.

"Unfortunately the judge chose to sever the individual mandate instead of throwing the law out in its entirety."
If I understand correctly that was all he could do. That was the thing that Virginia had sued about, so that was all the judge could rule on. Much of LackwitCare is not clearly unconstitutional -- one of the worst ideas in human history, and certainly contrary to the spirit of the Constitution nad its concept of a limited central government -- but not clearly unconstitutional the way the individual mandate is.

If the mandate is thrown out and the pre-existing coverage left in then individual insurance in the USA will end.

WaPo Reprises the "90% Lie", Whines for Selective, Ineffective BATF
The Washington Post rehashed the infamous and oft-debunked Mexican Gun Canard again this morning in a story they laughably call an "exclusive."
The only thing exclusive about
this fabrication is that they are the only fools outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave still pushing it.
The foundation and the National Rifle Association aggressively challenge statistics that show 80 to 90 percent of the weapons seized in Mexico are first sold in the United States, calling the numbers highly inflated. After being criticized by the gun lobby, ATF stopped releasing such statistics this year.
"To suggest that U.S. gun laws are somehow to blame for Mexican drug cartel violence is a sad fantasy," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action.
Cox said guns are coming to Mexico from other Central American countries and from former Mexican soldiers who have U.S. weapons and are now working for the cartels.
ATF disagreed, saying the biggest factors are the high number of dealers along the border and the convenient location.
When the Post reporter claims that the "ATF disagreed," he doesn't speak for the entire agency, just a regional supervisor that is either pushing a political agenda or lacks the big picture. Either way, his superiors have overruled his opinion with facts
for over a year.
The myth that legal guns sales in the United States are responsible for Mexican drug cartel violence took another serious blow last week when an ATF official testified in Congress that only eight percent of weapons recovered in Mexico came through licensed U.S. gun dealers.
This figure is far lower than the 90 percent claim made previously as an appeal to reinstate ineffective gun laws that expired in 2004. The claim — still active among the less informed or serially dishonest — officially became myth during congressional testimony last week when Bill McMahon, deputy assistant director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, revealed the eight percent figure, how it was calculated, and where the 90 percent myth arose from.
Of the 100,000 weapons recovered by Mexican authorities, only 18,000 were determined to have been manufactured, sold, or imported from the United States, and of those 18,000, just 7,900 came from sales by licensed gun dealers.
The
Post can't even get through their accompanying photo gallery without exposing their dishonesty; this
FN MAG this South African Vector SS-77 machine gun certainly didn't come from a U.S. gun store.
Let's be clear: I am personally of the opinion that too many guns are heading south of the border from the United States, but the media and Administrations in both the U.S. and Mexico need to be honest. The number of guns imported from this country is dwarfed by the number of guns sold, stolen or given to the cartels by Mexican law enforcement and military sources, and from black market smuggling from Central and South America and Asia. You simply cannot get the machine guns and grenades the cartels favor in the United States. They come from corruption in Mexico and the same pipeline that bring in drugs from overseas.
The rest of the article is a complaint about just how dang hard it is for the ATF to prosecute criminals.
Bull.
You can give them all sorts of evidence, including pictures of felons with a gun in their hands, and they will
actively fight against prosecuting them.
This article is about politics, not crime prevention.
Update: Per Big Country's expert eye, I've updated the post to correct the
machine gun type in the photo. I await with baited breath for the media to explain how an American gun store is responsible for a weapon that cannot be sold on these shores.

Not to Nit-Pick, but the weapon you I.D.'d as a FN MAG is actually even more obscure. It's a South African made Vector SS-77 in 7.62mmX51.

The top picture is exactly what it is... interesting how they want to SO Desperately want to pin the weapons smuggling on the US, but have to essentially use lies and dishonesty and obscuration to prove the point.

The most ridiculous aspect of this story is that you have a government in Mexico that wants no restrictions for their citizens to cross the border northward, but they become outraged when guns allegedly head southward.
Every Arizonan knows that even a single round of ammunition found in their possession when crossing into Mexico can result in time in a Mexican prison. However, SB1070 is some crime against humanity in the eyes of the Mexican president.
Unfortunately for the law-abiding citizens of Mexico, their corrupt and hypocritical government is responsible for the tragedy of the border. Until the Mexican government decides that law applies to both sides of the border and to both nations, they will continue to reap the whirlwind of lawlessness they are now experiencing.

Last Thing
© Brigid Durham
That last thing I saw was the a sliver of winter sky through a haze of gunpowder.
The last thing I heard was the report of fire, one last wild spurring of colors made sound, then silence.
The last thing I felt was an intake of breath, air drawing deep into me. I don't remember the exhale. I thought nothing could reach me. I never knew what hit me.

Let me just say that (and please note, I am speaking only for myself, not as a representative of the US Army or anyone else) as a current US Soldier, I feel VERY remembered and appreciated almost everywhere I go. When I am in my uniform, everywhere I go people come up and shake my hand, they say thank you, they often buy my meal, refusing to take no for an answer.
I see in them a real sense of thankfulness, of appreciation, of pride, of respect. It not only makes me feel proud to be an American Soldier, but it motivates me to excel, to DESERVE those accolades. I believe it does the same for my Soldiers as well.
Much of this is thanks - like so many things in today's Army- to the lessons learned and paid for in blood by Viet Nam veterans. I have never had anyone spit on me, nor speak rudely to me. On the contrary, civilian Aircrew call out my unit and the airplane erupts in applause.
I've seen the same levels of rememberence and respect at 9/11 ceremonies, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day. And believe me, when I'm gearing up to deploy, that gives me a lot of comfort.
Again - it motivates me to DESERVE it.
Respectfully,

The Magic and Miracles of "Messiah"
It is, once again, the season of Christmas. Many people of many faiths celebrate the season. Some as a profound religious observance, others to take part in the giving, the music, the colors, sights, smells and tastes. But all can share in a centuries old tradition: George Fredrich Handel’s ‘Messiah.” A small taste of the magic of Messiah can be seen here. While I delight in sharing the honor of blogging here with Bob and Brigid, I delight too in sharing another honor, that of regularly performing with a fine choir and symphony orchestra. I thought it might be interesting, at this time of year, for our readers to experience a performance of “Messiah” from the stage, and to learn of its history, through the eyes of a classically trained singer, a first tenor, one of the many of the chorus. It is surely being performed near you. If you've never experienced it, you owe it to yourself and to your family to take advantage of the opportunity.

Wonderful write-up!
I was always grateful to have been part of a similar group here in Milwaukee, singing JSB's Passions, Mahler, Britten, Handel, Mozart, and lots of others.
And audiences really, really, DO appreciate the work. Generally, they can't express in words exactly 'why' they appreciate it, but that's to be expected, because such works are virtually other-worldly--a foretaste, eh?

The Handy-Dandy, All-Purpose Entrapment Defense
On December 8, Muhammed Hussein--Antonio Martinez before his conversion to Islam--was arrested by the FBI. But why? Was the evil FBI engaging in racist, anti-Muslim profiling? Not unless one considers arresting Hussein after he actually tried to detonate a bomb which was, thankfully, an FBI supplied fake, at a Baltimore County military recruiting facility to be racist, anti-Muslim profiling.
This is yet another in a series of good catches on the part of law enforcement, catches wherein dedicated, home-grown jihadists, have been discovered and intercepted before they could actually kill innocent Americans on American soil. This is the good news. The bad news is that, as always, we have to be lucky every time and everywhere, and the jihadists have to be lucky only once and only here and there. This situation also illuminates a danger to which America is uniquely susceptible due to, as usual, politically correct good intentions. I’ll explore that danger and an effective, easily implemented fix to largely remove it as a danger in a multi-part series in the near future, but for this post, the issue raised by Hussein and his supporters is: Entrapment.
Entrapment is a term much bandied about, particularly by common criminals, defense attorneys, creatures of the left, community activists and organizers and increasingly, by jihadists. It’s an easy charge to make and one easily believed because most Americans don’t know what it actually is. Even the always annoying and often disgusting Geraldo Rivera--he of the Snidely Whiplash mustache--joined in the entrapment game, perhaps because of a race-based knee-jerk reflex toward defending Hispanic criminals. Appearing on the O’Reily Factor shortly after Hussein’s arrest, Rivera sagely observed that Hussein/Martinez was “just a gullible youngster,” and of course, accused the FBI of entrapment. Hussein, by the way, is 21.
The ‘Lectric Law Library provides a useful, and quite commonly understood, definition of entrapment (here):

From what I've read the only prompting the FBI did was to suggest using a bomb RATHER THAN the rifles this punk was already working on buying. That's not entrapment. That's eliminating the danger.

And European press are reporting it (if at all) as an FBI plot to incite impressionable young muslims to a life of terrorism so the country won't get tired of sending soldiers to Afghanistan and Iraq to oppress the local population.
And oh, the Stockholm bombing was a CIA plot to get Sweden to sign up for helping the US in their next war against Islam.

And Just Like That, Bill Clinton Became President Again
Surreal:
"I've never seen anything like that," said MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur after cutting back following a press conference on the tax plan. It had begun with a surprise appearance by President Obama who then brought in a further surprise, none other than Bill Clinton, to help him explain the deal. However, after introducing Clinton and letting him begin to talk, Obama suddenly announced that he was leaving for a Christmas party and vanished, letting Clinton talk for 25 more minutes as if it was 1996! I guess it could have been worse. Obama could have left to go play hoops.
Seriously, what was the thinking here? This has to be one of the worst PR moves in the entirety of the administration. Obviously, Clinton is probably a more popular Democratic figure right now, but they had to imagine this would hurt Obama. I mean, letting a former president explain your tax bill while you head to a Christmas party? A Christmas party?
Consider this a test-abdication, of what could be the first Presidency ever quit by a POTUS who has come to the realization that he simply isn't up to the job for which he campaigned.
Betting sites should start odds-making on whether or not Barack Obama will simply quit the Oval Office, after discovering that governing is simply not something he has the intelligence, fortitude, or experience to do successfully.
Do I personally think Obama would quit the Presidency? No, not at all.
But then, I didn't expect him to leave Bill Clinton in charge at his press conference while he scurried away like a hen-pecked weakling, either.
Make sure you read Mike's take on this bizarre incident as well.

Not only did the big O give the presidency to Clinton, he also showed that he would rather go to a party than show concern for an economy that is worse than the one in the 1930's. People need a leader to assure them that things will get better and that a plan is in place to work with us all. Instead, he goes to a party!!

Obama was sending all of us a wakeup call. By suggesting he might resign if we (the people) insist on being so mean and racist. And the USA would be headed by none other than crazy Joe Biden--the lunatic that no one trusted in the US Senate for 30 years to hold a senior post.
Ya got me, Obama. Please stay. Even if it means we have to listen to Bill Clinton every week, please stay. If only because every time Bill Clinton opens his mouth it just puts into stark contrast a man who was a successful president and a man who has never been a successful anything.

"It's Deja Vu All Over Again"
So said everyman’s philosopher, Yogi Berra. But it was “The Onion,” during the Clinton years, that wrote the immortal headline: “President Clinton To Feel Nation’s Pain, Breasts.” And just when Americans thought it was safe for wholesome, American breasts to once again roam free, the man responsible for diminishing the office of the presidency more than anyone ever thought possible poked his head into the White House Press Room and said “I’m baaaaaaaccckkk!”
For those just emerging from Afghan caves, President Obama met with President Clinton at the White House today. After their meeting, Mr. Obama held a press conference, accompanied by President Clinton. That’s when things got weird. Mr. Obama abruptly excused himself to attend a Christmas event, leaving Mr. Clinton to continue the press conference, which, as Mr. Clinton is prone to do, ran substantially longer than any press conference Mr. Obama has ever held. Words such as bizarre, surreal, inexplicable, even bull goose looney seem inadequate to describe the spectacle of Mr. Clinton, once again standing before the press in the White House, calmly and authoritatively taking questions as though he was still POTUS, as though he had--shudder--never left.
While Mr. Obama has certainly inflicted substantial pain on America with a great deal more to come as Obamacare, the bill we had to pass to discover its contents is, bit by bit, revealed, Mr. Clinton’s blast from the past was surely one of the strangest things ever done by any American president. Even for a President as utterly inexperienced and politically tone deaf as Mr. Obama, this was truly an epic feat, ironically accompanied today by the announcement by Gallup of the lowest ever approval ratings for Mr. Obama.
It’s well known that Mr. Obama is simply bored with the trivialities of the Presidency while simultaneously having no idea of the importance of related symbols. But can Mr. Obama actually be so empty-headed as to fail to grasp the symbolism of leaving his own press conference and turning it over to only the second president in US history ever to be impeached? At a time when Iran is planning to install missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads to America in Venezuela, when Iran is impeded in its quest for those warheads only by a computer virus, when the Koreas could be at war at any second, when even fourth rate nations feel free to insult and ignore America, when our nation is going bankrupt faster that Mr. Clinton could take a congressional phone call while simultaneously undergoing a, ahem, presidential staffing, America is in desperate need of strong, adult leadership. So Mr. Obama turns it over to Bill Clinton.
America’s only hope is that this is just a temporary glimpse into an alternate reality, or perhaps we are reliving a bad episode of “The Twilight Zone,” and as soon as we change the channel, it will all go away. The alternative is that Mr. Clinton will, all too soon, have an unimaginable amount of American pain to feel. American breasts, widely believed to be under wraps, could not be reached for a comment.

Was totally stunned that Obama did this, at a point when even his most fervid followers are feeling a wee bit disillusioned about his competence, both Presidential and even mental. In my 82 years of life, I have never seen a President do such a foolish thing in public. As most of the 'Net commenters are saying today, it was not only careless, it was insulting, both to his constituents and to former President Clinton, old fox that he is. He must have felt he'd just won the lottery, and he proceeded to prove his greater competence in understanding and explaining economics theory [he is a former Rhodes scholar, after all]. On the other hand, Obama offered convincing evidence that he doesn't understand the seriousness of our present financial situation, nor even grasp the seriousness of his rejection as shown by the Midterm elections. On top of that, he demonstrated that Michelle is "she who must be obeyed."
I'm reminded of the great old song by Ray Charles, "Hit the road Jack" in which he pleads, "Oh honey, please, you don't mean it."
But we do, Mr. President. We do.

So, is Someone in Hot Water at the BATF?
After publishing Felons Can’t Own Guns. So How Did This Guy Acquire Three … Gun Companies? in October at Pajamas Media, I reached out to the BATF in an effort to try to understand why convicted felon Lee Franklin Booth hadn't been arrested for what appear to be clear violations of federal gun laws.
Several weeks later, after questions had reverberated from Washington, DC to the regional office overseeing the Carolinas, I was contacted by Charlotte-based BATF Special Agent and Public Information Officer (PIO) Earl Woodham on November 2.
I had a cordial 20-minute preliminary conversation with Agent Woodham outlining my concerns. He seemed to think that the regulatory end of the ATF had investigated Victory Arms before, but wanted to read the article. He said he was "getting hammered by a chain of inter-agency emails" and wanted to resolve the issue. At the same time, he understood that the Pardon of Forgiveness Booth was given would not allow him to possess firearms, and found that perplexing.
In that initial conversation—based upon my description of what we'd revealed—Woodham seemed to be of the opinion Booth had probably violated the law.
The cordial tone was gone from our next conversation, a very clipped and formal affair where Agent Woodham told me that after conferring with his colleagues (fellow BATF agents in Charlotte and Greensboro), that they had "no interest" in pursuing an investigation against Mr. Booth.
The abrupt shift in the official BATF response from Agent Woodham was stunning. I thought about his response, and wrote back to him in an attempt to clarify and understand the agency's position.
Good afternoon Agent Woodham,
I just want to make sure that I am accurately citing the BATF's position regarding Lee Booth and the allegations we've made against him in our Pajamas Media article and during our telephone conversations last week.
It is the BATF's position that Lee Franklin Booth is a convicted felon, and that his Pardon of Forgiveness does not restore his right to own firearms.
It is the BATF's position that the agency has looked into Lee Franklin Booth's business relationship with Detonics USA Industries, Inc,, Victory Arms, Inc, and the Victory Arms acquisition of Templar Consulting, and have found that while Booth is listed as a principle officer in these corporate entities in legal documents as CEO, and/or President, and that eyewitness testimony will reveal that he ran day-to-day operations of at least Victory/Templar out of a property that he owns, that this felon's involvement with these companies was not a crime, even though these associations appear to be in direct violation of 18 USC 923 and 18 USC 922(g) which both recognize Booth as clearly being a "prohibited person."
It is the BATF's position that a photo of convicted felon Lee Franklin Booth holding a pair of Detonics pistols, taken January 6, 2007 at 1:41:04 with a SONY DSC-T5 camera belonging to Lee Franklin Booth, witnessed by two individuals currently in possession of the photo, and willing to testify in a court of law that Booth both held and fired those firearms, is not worth additional investigation.
It is the BATF's position that the agency has no obligation to determine if Lee Franklin Booth illegally obtained a concealed carry permit in Guilford County, even though his attorney Dan Hardway of Angier, NC freely admitted Booth was issued a permit by the Guilford County Sheriff's Department in discussions with Pajamas Media legal counsel.
It is the BATF's position that all auditors and agents within the Greensboro, NC, BATF office followed the letter of the law and were not in any way influenced by Lee Franklin Booth's relationship with an IRS CID agent who administers the Victory Arms/Templar page on Facebook, and who restricted the public version of the site and his own personal Facebook page after the Pajamas Media article posted, even though he was never cited in the article.
It is the BATF's position that documentation amassed by the Pajamas Media legal team that apparently shows Booth in violation of federal and state laws, including an internal exhibit within Skipper and Detonics vs. Booth and Detonics Consent Order, Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, labeled "Exhibit B," lists by serial number the 23 firearms Lee Franklin Booth took into his personal possession, is not something the agency is interested in reviewing, based upon the BATF's previous investigations into these allegations.
It is the BATF's position that their investigation into Lee Booth and his involvement is thorough, and that no further investigation is warranted.
Thank you very much for your time and clarifications on this matter. I want to document the BATF position precisely for my next article.
I then forwarded the same letter to BATF-Washington as well.
Agent Woodham never responded.
Someone else did.
On November 15 I spoke with Jan Kemp of the BATF Public Affairs office after being asked to call the agency's main number in Washington. I provided her with a copy of the above letter, and mentioned that I had questions I was trying to address regarding the kind of discharge Mr. Booth received from the Marines while in prison, and the status of the two Federal Firearms Licenses for Victory Arms. We also informed her of the expert analysis that confirmed the validity of a photo in the original article showing Mr. Booth literally gun in hand.
Two days later Ms. Kemp graciously wrote back to say that she was sorry, "but I don't have anything to tell you regarding this matter."
I wrote back:
Jan,
That is a very, very interesting response, and I do want to be fair in my characterization of it (nuance is lost via email very easily).
Is it the BATF's position that they do not owe the public an explanation for why field agents and supervisory agents in the Charlotte and Greensboro offices are purposefully declining to enforce clear and direct violations of criminal statutes in the case of Lee Booth, even though they agree (and I speak of Supervisory Agent Earl Woodham) he is a felon that cannot own guns?
Or are you saying that the BATF doesn't have anything to tell me because you do not comment on current investigations?
Ms. Kemp then replied, "ATF does not confirm or deny the existence of investigations." I've been told by various law enforcement sources that such a statement typically confirms the existence of an investigation. In this case, that might include an internal investigation of the Charlotte and Greensboro offices themselves.
It appears that before all is said and done, Lee Booth may not be the only person in hot water for his apparently criminal activity.

Or it could mean STFU and go away, we just don't care. Or that Mr Booth is some form of "protected" person and no one will be permitted to question it.
Looking forward to how this resolves.

This looks like the continuation of a trend. Don't these "public officials," who used to be called "public servants," work for the "public"? And aren't we the "public"?
I mean, where do they get off in effect telling citizens that it's none of our business what they're doing and to whom they're doing it?
I think it's time for a clean sweep, and not just of the elected officials!

When English and European socialism fails, their populations turn to nationalism, including economic nationalism. Next comes war, and after that comes America. Rinse and repeat.
Europe has been trying to commit suicide for over a century, and the U.S. keeps pulling the pistol from its temple. Now that democracy is rising elsewhere, I'd say it's time to dismiss this part of the world as a hopeless case. we'll need to prepare for tens of millions of refugees, though.

Does anyone have any hard numbers on how much tuition is being raised by per student?
Are they rioting in the streets, calling for revolution, attacking police officers, and even physically assaulting their monarchy over a couple thousand dollars a year? Is it even that much? Is their respect for democracy sold so cheaply?

I gotta admit, they do have a point; the "students" are losing their handouts but there's still money in the country to keep the useless "royal family" in limos and have Prince Dumbo fly an army of assistants to other countries so he can lecture folks about saving the environment. But I agree, their tactics do not help their cause.

Report last night on FNC said that university tuition in GB was going from the equivalent of $4500 per year to $14500 per year. With socialism's strong social leveling streak, the students are worried that a) they won't be able to finish their degrees and b) down the road the increased cost will only reinforce the still-present British class system and limit upward mobility. Those seem like some valid points from their side, it kind of depends on the robustness of their student loan industry as to how much impact that will have on who attends university in GB in the future. If there is a guaranteed student loan program along the lines of our program, it will be cheaper for the government to guarantee those loans than simply grant the money outright.
From the government's perspective the utility of a university degree in terms of lifetime income increase far exceeds the additional $40K the students will pay for it. Yes it was cheaper before, but the government can no longer afford it, so cinch up your man-panties, decide if the additional cost is worth it and if not, do something else.
$14.5K a year is not chump change, a $10K decrease in subsidy from the government is a substantial "contribution" from university students toward reducing the budget deficit. It can be seen as a front-loaded tax, or as students being relinquished of a prior claim on OPM they never had the right to in the first place. I tend to favor the latter.

I'd be pissed too. What's the point of all those high taxes if you don't get anything from it?
So they're charging more for students to attend universities. That means they're reducing the tax burden right?
No?

Students (and a few opportunistic anarchists) are protesting an increase in the cap on tuition from 3200 British pounds to 9000 Bp, likely to put quite a crimp in their lifestyles. Regardless of whether they deserved what was probably a subsidized education, they are pissed. Into the midst of this drives an armored Rolls Royce bearing a priveleged princeling in a tux. And they were expecting...??
I have little sympathy for the protestors but I've really got to wonder what the devil Prince Charles' security detail was thinking going anywhere near there.

America has changed.

Made in America
Not too long ago, high school students in California were sent home for wearing the American flag on their clothing. They weren't doing so in a disrespectful manner, but as a show of support for their heritage. I'm beyond stunned.
The flag is not a symbol of political correctness. It is a sacred symbol of a nation. A representation of a promise of freedom. Freedom to life and liberty. The freedom for the law abiding citizen to protect their family and what they hold dear. Freedom to work hard and prosper and enjoy the fruits of your honest labor without fear that it will be forced from you to support the degradation of the Constitution. The flag is more than fabric, it's a promise. I am an American, and I will honor the flag, wrapping myself around it as a patriot would, to protect it, not wrapping it around words or actions to justify that which we know to be a breach of this promise.

The Spin Factory Shrieks
Think Progress—an organization built from the ground up to skew media coverage to the left—is complaining this morning because they were provided with a memo of a Fox News executive playing their game... and playing it just as well or better.
At the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News' controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network's journalists not to use the phrase "public option."
Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox's reporters should use "government option" and similar phrases -- wording that a top Republican pollster had recommended in order to turn public opinion against the Democrats' reform efforts.
Both sides play the spin game, and always have. Think Progress is particularly aggrieved at this particular example because (a), they had it, and (b) calling it the "government option" was both more effective and more accurate messaging than than their less-accurate "public option" construct.
There is nothing morally, ethically, or legally wrong in choosing the more accurate term "government option." We are, after all, talking about a government-run health-care law.
Think Progress is throwing a hissy-fit because Sammon sent out a memo because he wanted to make sure that his network used the more accurate and yes, more divisive description of Obamacare.
As much as these totalitarians would like to regulate the words we can use, they haven't managed to establish that level of control.
Then again, that is probably what irritates them the most.

You place too much emphasis on the wrong word. There is no "option". Using the word "option" is itself spin. The government mandate is intended to force private insurance out of business or make them zombie companies totally controlled by government bureaucrats. If it were an option, we could refuse it. Chronically sick people won't want to refuse it bacause it will pay their bills. Chronically healthy people won't have a choice. Someone has to pay for the sick people.
