QOTD for Car Guys

Reflecting upon the following assessment on women by a woman

Women can be entertaining, but they’re expensive, inaccessible for most men, and from the male perspective, shockingly unreliable.

Francis W Porretto evoked an appropriate connection that you may never forget.

Well, yes, but you could say the same about Lamborghinis, and we certainly don’t stop desiring them for those trifling reasons.

World Media In a Nutshell

Today's "journalists" are not cynical of ilk such as Barack Obama
because they must preserve their jaundiced eye for the likes of Mother Theresa.

Comment at JWF

My instant reaction to "Chavez Calls Obama a Clown" was to think of how Orwell viewed hostilities of communist nations in his last novel.

That in turn prompted me to to imagine The Bummer's response to Chavez.

“We are at war with Columbia. We have always been at war with Colubia.
We are at war with Venezuela. We have always been at war with Venezuela.” — Barack Obama without apologies to George Orwell

Just in time for reelection campaign season too!

Leviathan's Regulators In the Declaration of Independence

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

This is why our nation's economy is not recovering. You know it, and I know it, but the likes of Krugman get paid to lie and keep the majority of your neighbors confused as to what is really happening. Radical Democratic ideology put in place in the years 2009-10, and in danger of not being turned back at all except maybe by court decision, is destroying us.

Note that I did not title this Obama's regulators. What is being done to Americans and their means of making a living and raising the next generation of citizens has been made significantly more difficult since 2001. It's only gotten much worse and much faster the last two years.

This destruction is not the work of any one man. Even though matters have gotten worse since the current puppet took up residence in the White House, to blame Obama solely could saddle us with Hillary should the MIPIAH* be forced to step down from running as did LBJ in 1968.

Our real problem is Democratic Slave Party policy that has gone openly radical since 2007, and abetted by fellow travelers in the GOP who insisted on compromising with the unconscionable demands of radicals and foreign influences.

If all you clamor for is "I do not want Obama," be prepared to have Hillary or some wimp of a GOP candidate foisted upon you: Choices offering no stop to our being driven off a cliff. If you focus on the destructive Obama instead of destructive Democratic policies, the rest of the country will not make the connection that our dire straits are really due to Jackass Party policies that those behind the scenes demanded. No Democrat should win the White House in 2012, but no DAMNED SKUNC Republican either. They have the same vested interests backing them. The TEA party members know this, but vast numbers in the country are afraid to see it -- there's those blinders again! -- and they have a vote too.

You really want change? Then make believe that Obama isn't really there no matter how much his smug posturings and Marie Antoinette attitudes irritate you.  

Democratic Policy creates a multitude of new offices, and sends hither swarms of officers to harass us and eat out our substance.

*Most inept President in American history. Not yet a pariah, but MIPIAH is surely arguable.

My Position on Fox News Channel

The only reason for granting that FNC has any credibility is because they simply are that much better than anything else.

But I view them much as I do the fertilizer I need to feed my garden vegetables. Composted manure is easier to handle than the raw stuff, but I still need cultivate all living things that grow in its environment, and then wash off  them off thoroughly before I allow them at my table.

Media Continues Its Downward Spiral

In the L.A.Times yesterday appeared HHS and EPA will recommend lower fluoride levels in water supply:

The Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency said Friday that they will recommend lowering the amount of fluoride in public water supplies because most people are now getting large quantities of the protective agent from other sources, including toothpaste, mouthwashes, prescription supplements and fluoride applied by dental professionals. As a consequence, some children's teeth are becoming mottled because of overexposure to fluoride. [emphasis added]

Well. Duh.

 I always counseled my kids: "Spit out the toothpaste. Don't swallow it. It will mottle your teeth."

My eldest and wise-acrest of offspring would have told you that more than 20 years -- after finding out the hard way that my warnings were well founded.
And after all these years later, that one still has mottled teeth.
My youngest does not have the problem.

I knew to warn my kids because this has been known for years before that.

But today, the L.A. Times writes this like it's NEWS. Not daring to declare their masters in government liars or even incompetent. They write it as if it's a sudden discovery.


Minitrue (the Fourth Estate now wholly suck-ups to govt) -- you are a worthless POS.

And Now for Something Completely Different

Happy New Year!

Taunting Us With Shadows On the Wall

Plato and later Hegel told us we’d see nothing but shadows cast on the wall. Plato warned of the Sophists who taught those who ruled how to get away with it. They’re still at it. It’s only their useful idiots who taunt us for not being able to name them.

Irrationality Topples Kings

first published July 24, 2010

Thoughtful readers such as you often stop by. In this post you are invited to join  others in cataloging the derangement of public policy.

Members of our ruling class keep saying the most absurd things and not worrying that we hear them. Part of the reason for this is that they are expecting nobody will quiz them on their irrationalities. In one way or another, their allies are running things in just about every media outlet you can imagine, so real hardball will not come from there.

When they do get cornered by members of the country class, it may strike you that a wolverine is less vicious; and a wolverine doesn't pay thugs to lurk in the shadows awaiting a signal.

Without giving a single specific instance, I'll name four frequent violators: Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Al Gore, George W Bush. Some more, some less, but they all do it.

An example would be citing the Prez or some Senator claiming that we can have universal health care at less cost while not needing to ration under ZeroCare.

This is what comes of allowing our institutions to slip into the hands of those who crave power to run things. Even simple arithmetic becomes nonsense in their mouths when it gets in their way, so it should never be surprising when they speak of more complex ideas.


I'd love for readers to leave in the comments specific instances.
I'll add those I like to this list.

IRRATIONALITES

Violator	Spotter	Link to discussion
Many MFM and Left bloggers	johnnydollar.us	FNC after the fact news caused the event
ABC, CBS, & the French	Andrew Klavan	Uphold press freedom through collusion & censorship

Why is this important now?
Left to the schemes of Harry Reid, we may lose the opportunity shortly. According to DISCLOSE Act Assault on First Amendment Continues, "you better take advantage of that while you can."

For those of you who believe in bygone notions like free speech rights and the ability to criticize politicians when they do things like nationalize 1/5 of the U.S. economy....

Read the rest, it's not long.
