Lois Gets A Pass.

I'm Shocked. Shocked!

OK, not really.

She may have, y'know, broken the law, but she did it for the right reasons. And besides, nobody really cares if it hurt some anti-government, teabadgger, Christianists in flyover-country. It wasn't like they wanted someone to bake them a wedding cake....

We Won't Get Fooled Again. Well, Maybe.

Dear Readers, if you truly believe in individual liberty, limited government and the Constitution, remember this when you step up to the ballot box: A vote for the Libertarian Party candidate is really a vote for the Democrat candidate.

Prediction Fail.

March 2013: Hanry Chao, one of the chief IT architects for the ObamaCare the "exchanges": "Let's just make sure it's not a Third-World experience."

October 2013: Yep. It's a Third-World experience.

I guess turning us into is Cuba is the transformative hope and change you millennials were looking for. With Zimbabwe's fiscal policy and Iran's tolerance thrown in for good measure.

"A penny saved, is a penny you owe the government"
- Poor Barack's Almanac

Oh, The Irony:

Seems Woody Guthrie wrote the ultimate Obama Shutdown protest song.

So let's all sing along with Woody's son, Arlo, - a fellow Libertarian Republican. You know the words.

Republicans should start singing this outside every closed monument, park, historic house, ocean, etc. And don't forget this stanza:

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.

The Entire Obama Presidency Defined In One Single Picture.

Can a dramatic disaster event that can be blamed on the shut-down - say, a fire in the Reichstag - be far behind?

Sorry, But There Is No Other Way To Put This.

We have been completely and utterly fucked. Looks like that comparison of ObamaCare to the Fugitive Slave Act may be accurate after all.

So it's bloody high time the party of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln remember it's roots and become, once again, the party to abolish slavery. Being owned by a government is no different, and no less repugnant, than being owned by another man.

With Obama And Holder Calling The Shots, This Comes As No Surprise.

Greenville Wal-Mart Shooter Picked Victims By Race:

A man who shot four people near a Greenville Wal-Mart in June picked out his victims because they were white, according to several indictments handed down against him. (emphasis RSR)

Liar, Liar, Mom-jeans On Fire!

Remember, dear readers, it was just last month The One claimed, "There is no spying on Americans."

Oops.

Today The Washington Post - yes, THAT Washington Post - says that Team Hopenchange had the restrictions on spying on Americans removed:

The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material.

And just who had those restrictions put into place to protect Americans privacy? WaPo is a bit vague on that:

The court in 2008 imposed a wholesale ban on such searches at the government’s request, said Alex Joel, civil liberties protection officer at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). (emphasis RSR)

Hmmm. Now what Administration was running the government back in 2008? I wonder...

First, The Tea Parties...

...Now, the American Legion. In Obama's America, being proud of your country is fast becoming a criminal offense. Unless you're proud of Obama...

It's Not The Lie; It's The Cover-Up.

Remember, Dear Readers, when Obama went on national television the other day to assure us proles that "there is no spying on Americans" by his NSA?

Well fast forward to Thursday and we find out - Oops! - they have been snooping on Americans. For years. "Accidentally" or something.

And now we find out Team Hopenchange tried to interfere with negative press about the NSA being published.

This is the kind of thing that got Nixon pitched out. But since the 'Fast and Furious' Cover-up, the Benghazi Cover-up,  and the AP / Rosen Targeting Cover-up, or the IRS Cover-up haven't done it, I don't think this one will. Those who think themselves above the Law have no shame, much less honor.

Krotz Springs Is Now Famous For Three Things.

If you've done any amount of traveling in the Bayou State, you know that the town of Krotz Springs, Louisiana, is famous for two things:

1) Having a name that will make for hours of sophomoric jokes about "Crotch Springs" as you speed down US 190.

2) Speed trap central, in case you are actually speeding down US 190. (And by speeding, they mean 45.000001 MPH or better)

But now, apparently, Krotz Springs is going to be famous for a third thing: Sweetheart deals from Obama's EPA. Of course, Sen. Mary "Louisiana Purchase" Landreiu (D-DC) was unavailable for comment.

"Hey, Craig Fugate!"

"Now that you've run FEMA, one of the most incompetent and bureaucratically inept branches of the Federal government that has consistently screwed Louisiana since August 2005, what are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to be Secretary of Homeland Security!"

Not if David Vitter (D-LA) has anything to say about it.

Only in Washington, DC, can the Peter Principle be exceeded.

Take This Down.

Seems the Feds now want your passwords:

The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge users' stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques that has not previously been disclosed.

If the government is able to determine a person's password, which is typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used to log in to an account to peruse confidential correspondence or even impersonate the user.

Dear Snoopy Fed-types,

I'll make it easy. Let me spell out my password for you. Got a pencil and paper? Good. I'll go slow to make sure there is no mistake. Ready? OK.

First letter is "F". What? Yes, it's all uppercase.
OK, now a "U".
Next is "C". Write neatly now.
And after that, a "K".
So far, so good? Great. Next is "space".
What?
Yes, I know it's the final frontier. But that's not important right now. Just make a little line after the 'K'. Like that. You're doing fine.
Next word begins with "Y".
What?
No, not 'why', the letter "Y". I don't know... why not? We're getting off point here. Did you write it down? OK.
Next letter. It's an "O". Make it nice and round. Dandy.
And the last letter is, "U".
That's it. Now, do a read back...

Tonight's Required Video.

My sentiments exactly:



Hattip: The Hayride.

'Ol Smokey. (UPDATED)

You, dear readers, paid $40,000 for this masterpiece to commemorate the job-killing tenure of Obama's recently resigned EPA head, Richard Windsor, sorry, Lisa Jackson.

Look closely, art fans, and help me out here. Is that smoke emanating from her ladyparts creating the rustic mountain stream? Or, is the clear spring water flowing, douche-like, in the other direction? Either way, it really, really creeps me out.

Creeps out my Congressman, Rep. Bill Cassidy, too, and he has introduced the EGO Act to stop such excess. Especially when the productive class in this country is still struggling.

UPDATE: I'm sorry, but I can't help myself.  CAPTION CONTEST!

Why Yes, I Do Smoke After Sex.

Now That's A Yeast infection.

I'll Take 'A Convenient Shooting' For 5,000,000 Votes, Alex.

When is the prosecution of George Zimmerman not about race? When it's all about race.

To be fair, this case was never really about race - or justice, for that matter - but deflection and votes. Race was simply the means to that end. Obama needed to focus his base in 2012 away from his disastrous presidency, and turn out that base in record numbers. What better way than to have a modern day Emmett Till to parade around, with George Zimmerman as a useful Bull Conner? Add to that Obama's working to suppress the opposition (and mostly white) vote, plus the willing and eager help of the Mainstream Media to accomplish both, he was able to pull it off. (OK, a milquetoast Republican candidate didn't help...)

If this was truly about race, then the folks who should be up in arms right now are the Hispanics. Zimmerman is, by today's definition, Hispanic, not white. But Obama needed the Hispanic vote, too. When Zimmerman's ethnic origins came out, his description in The Left / Mainstream Media moved quickly, Orwell-like, from "white" to "white Hispanic". Had you ever heard of the classification of 'white Hispanic' before, dear readers? How about a 'black Hispanic'? Me, either. Since one of his parents was white, they claim, then Zimmerman was "white". By this definition then, Barack Obama is not our first African-American president - but our first 'white African-american' president.

If whipping up racial tension wasn't the goal of Obama and his supporters in The Left / Mainstream Media, then why keep the "white" descriptor in there? Because it maximized black anger and liberal guilt, and it kept this from becoming a black vs. Hispanic thing. Which generated votes for Obama in 2012. And that, dear readers, is the only reason George Zimmerman is a household name today.

More Adventures From The Bureaucrat Chronicles - 'What Difference Does It Make Now?' Edition.

Another shining example of the brightest minds to help solve our biggest challenges:

A State Department officer has been accused of selling visas for sex and money in what may have been a massive human trafficking operation, The Daily Caller has learned.

The State Department acknowledged last week that one of its officials is the target of a probe over “allegations of improprieties relating to a Consular Officer formerly assigned to Georgetown, Guyana” without providing further details. Local media are also claiming the official, who was recently withdrawn from normal duties pending completion of an official investigation, associated with drug lords as part of his visa scam.

Look for The Left / Mainstream Media to do their best to sweep under the rug, like all of the Obama scandals. Look Proles! A Kardashian Baby!

Friends.

And John Corzine, who bundled magabucks for Obama's campaigns, clearly has friends at the DOJ. In Obama's America, it's not what you did - it's who you know.
