Ordinary Citizens, 1...

...Product of the Grand Rapids Public Schools, 0. It's A Teachable Moment if you think about it. First, this is how ordinary citizens should act when a fellow citizen in is in distress. Second, if the coward formerly on the bike did not want to be pinned to the pavement, she should not have tried to steal an old lady's purse.

Well, There's Our Problem.

Over at Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds compares the response to a mass shooting incident in 1966 with this most recent tragedy. Difference seems to be that, back in 1966, free men and women were allowed to be - and expected to be - free men and women. Today, not so much. We're expected to act like Europeans.

And the car Aaron Alexis drove to the Washington Navy Yard? A Toyota Prius. Which he was able to rent without any kind of background check. It's clear we need an Executive Order right away to ban the importation of these "assault vehicles". I mean, if it will save one life...

You Knew It Would Come To This.

How desperate is the Muslim Brotherhood to stop the recent revolution by Egyptians who want to live in the 21st Century? This desperate. Even the  Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion makes an appearance.

If Obama Had A Son...

Would he look like murdered baseball player Chris Lane, or like his alleged killers, who took Lane's life because:
"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: `There's our target,"' Ford said. "The boy who has talked to us said, `We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody."'

He said they followed the 22-year-old Lane, a student from Melbourne attending college on a baseball scholarship, in a car and shot him in the back before driving off.

Ford told the television station KOCO in Oklahoma City that one of the teens said they shot Lane for "the fun of it."
If Obama weighs in on this murder - and I think he will - it will not be to decry for the total lack of human values of these alleged killers, or the senseless taking of a life because of it. Seems the Australians (Lane was an Australian) are recommending Aussies "think twice" about travel to the US until the America 'does something' about guns. As if the gun was bored and didn't have anything to do so it decided to kill somebody for the fun of it. But no matter, Barry and friends never let a tragedy go to waste - especially when it comes to guns, or when it comes deflecting what The Left / Mainstream Media has done to Black America in the last 50 years.

Maybe Chris Lane should have been wearing a hoodie and just bought some Skittles...

UPDATE 21AUG2013: “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

Why I Still Buy Hardcopy Books.

When '1984' becomes, well, '1984', well, something's wrong.

I understand the need to delete this from Amazon's site, but deleting it from your Kindle without your knowledge? What else can they do?

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.

Walk Like An Egyptian.

A few secular Egyptians get together tell Obama's buddy Morsi, and his fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, to piss off.  Just a few.

Let's see how long it takes for MSNBC to blame all this on Sarah Palin and the Koch brothers.

Where Are The Tourists Going To Eat Now?

Seems a local tourist landmark is closed. But not to worry, all you ill-mannered blobs from California and New York - the Quarter is full of overpriced eateries catering to your tastes.

One Man, Not Enough Votes.

Via Scott at The Hayride, Eric Holder is suing the State of Louisiana because, well, we're not signing up enough Democrats:
A federal lawsuit accusing two state agencies of failing to provide adequate voter registration services for people who get food stamps, disability payments and Medicaid will be fought in court, the state's chief elections officer said Tuesday. (emphasis mine)
Which begs the question: If "the voting process begins with registration, therefore it is essential that all citizens have unfettered access to voter registration opportunities," then why is it only places "that provide public assistance" - where people receive government largess - are registering people? What about us schlubs who pay for it? Why isn't the tax office required to ask us to register? Or when we pay for our building permit? Or pay our occupational license fee? Or apply for a concealed carry permit?

Oh, yeah...

Am I Missing Something?

Team Hopenchange is insisting that if those evil, heartless Republicans don't raise the debt ceiling, like, now,

WE'LL GO BROKE AND WE CANT PAY OUR BILLS AND GRANDMA WILL STARVE AND LITTLE BILLY WILL GET POLIO AND OIL COMPANY LOBBYISTS WILL RAVAGE YOUR DAUGHTER AND THE EARTH WILL BOIL (OR FREEZE - TAKE YOUR PICK), AND THUNDERING HERDS OF GROVER NORQUISTS WILL ROAM THE LANDS UNABATED...

But!

We seem to have the jack to contemplate another "stimulus".

It's all a matter of priorities. And you, dear readers, are not a priority of the current administration.

Like We Didn't See This Coming.

Yes, Kate, there is a slippery slope: "Family" in Utah sues to decriminalize polygamy based on a famous 2003 gay-rights ruling.

I can't wait to watch the rhetorical gymnastics of the current, single-issue leadership of The Episcopal Church (tm) as they explain why "respecting the dignity of every human being" doesn't apply to folks like Kody Brown and his wives.

Pull up a chair. I'll make the popcorn.

Slip Of The Spin.

Obama doesn't want "massive job killing tax increases" right now. Nope. Nope. Nope.

He wants to wait 'till 2013.

Remember that come November 2012.

Slartibartfast, Someone's Stealing Your Ship.

Stephen Green has nailed the perfect analogy for what Obama and his wiz-kiddies have wrought: A Bistromath Economy. Well, a 'Somebody Else's Problem' field does seem to be the goal.

For the uninitiated: Bistromath.

This Week's Winner: Best Use Of A YouTube Viral Video Meme To Counterpoint A Current News Story.

OK, I know the Grey Man a couple of posts back says we shouldn't judge here, and he's probably right. But, this was just too funny to pass up:



Post title background: Original YouTube vid here. Legendary viral video song here.

Only A Misty-Eyed Marxist Or A Community Organizer...

...Would think it makes economic sense to spend $278,000 (of somebody else's money, it should be pointed out -ed.) to add or save one $50,000 a year job.

And they wonder why we have no recovery. The good news is, such unrealistic and pig-headed logic can only exist, thankfully, in Socialist Worker Party meetings and college faculty clubs (but I repeat myself - ed.). The bad news is those are the very folks running the show until January 2013.
