Heckuva job, Bambi!

People are dying in Kentucky, yet where is the media outrage with FEMA no where to be seen?
Remember what Obambi said on the campaign trail, maybe he still hasn't figured out where Kentucky is.

"What it says is that I’m not very well known in that part of the country... Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known — not only because of her time in the White House with her husband — but also coming from a nearby state of Arkansas."
Barack ObamaTelephone Interview with the Lexington Herald-Leader Friday- May 18, 2008

Unfortunately, Illinois abuts Kentucky at its southernmost point. They teach that in the American schools; in Indonesia, not so much.

But,but...they promised they wouldn't

More Folly from the land of fruits and nuts

In a press release from SEMA, click here, we discover that those mental midgets Sen. D. Feinstein (D-CA) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) are trying to pass legislation to crush newer vehicles that use, in their opinion, too much gas. This is not a clunker program, they want you to crush your Hummer in order to buy a Prius, or some other mode of clown transportation. Please note the common denominator between these two-D-CA!

Apart from the overall idiocy of this program, they don't even think it through. They do not take into account the energy already expended to create the subject vehicle, and the energy it will take to destroy it.

Also in California, thousand of "Mom and Pop" businesses are opting out of the gas-vending business as new pumps, required by law, are too expensive for them to support. (Click here for more)
From the article,

April's regulations promise to cut what are known as reactive organic gas emissions by 7 tons per day statewide, but opponents point to the fact that California produces 2,322 tons of such gases per day.

Please note that all this carnage will yield an improvement of .003% in emissions.

Both measures will benefit the car companies and large gas retailers. Makes you wonder who is lobbying for this nonsense.

All this from a state that is undergoing a net exodus of taxpayers and businesses seeking to avoid stringent taxes imposed upon them by an out-of-control nanny state.

In recent years California has gone from the 4th largest economy in the world, to a projected budget deficit of $40 Billion.

Arnie, please don't be back!

Don't you hate when that happens?

Hallelujah, No More Scratched DVDs

One of the pet peeves in the Gazzer household is scratchy DVDs. We love Netflix and we occasionally rent DVDs from the vending machines at local supermarkets. However, it sometimes turns ugly because most DVDs are unable to withstand the abuse rained upon them from casual (ab)users. This results in entire scenes skipped, pivotal plot points lost, dialogue reminiscent of Max Headroom or completely out of sync. Not any more! Serenity now!

From the incompetency files

Over at Hot Air, the Captain, Ed Morrissey points to the disappointing start made by newly minted Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner regarding China. How pathetic do you have to be when slow Joe Biden, the Vice-Himbo, has to rescue you from a gaffe? Cripes, I'll bet the paint on Timmy's new office door isn't even dry yet!
Let's be honest, you almost want the guy in charge to be ballsy enough to cheat a little; but you want him to be good enough to not get caught. Think old Joe Kennedy and the SEC.

Nobody does it better.

Charles Krauthammer hits the nail on the head, as usual, with this piece demonstrating the alarming naivete of Pres. Obama in dealing with the Middle-East in general, and Iran in particular. It's not like he didn't warn us on the campaign trail.

What is on Shepard Smith's mind?

In this video we discover what's on his mind; the only question remains is he receiving or administering.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Remember when Obambi said we would all have to work together, tighten our belts to pull through this economic crisis. Well, we still do; him? Not so much! Wagyu beef is around $100 per lb.
Remember when The One said that we couldn't just set our room thermostats at 72° and expect the world to still love us. Him? Not so much!
By the way, he's from Hawaii so he cannot withstand the cold? Puhleeze! He has lived in frigid Chicago for 20 years.

Scientology; It's not like it's a cult or anything

The pseudo religion favored by so many Hollywood nitwits comes under scrutiny in an excellently written and well-annotated article by Skip Press over at Bighollywood.

God Ridicules Al Gore Once Again

It seems to be that every time the Goracle schedules some global warming event, the Good Lord, in His infinite wisdom, sends record-breaking cold weather. As busy as the Almighty surely must be, He always has a spare moment to humiliate his rotundity, big Al. And don't forget when you point out how gosh-darned cold this global warming is, they are quick to point out how we are confusing the difference between "weather" and "climate". Which is also the reason the AGW crowd changed the title of their hysteria from "global warming" to "climate change"; all the better to bamboozle us.

On a related note, we discover that James Hansen's supervisor at NASA believes that this whole warming thing is nonsense, as well. Read more here.

I predict that 2009 will be the year that the whole AGW/climate change scam is revealed, and fat Al gets laughed off into obscurity. I can't wait!

Only 3 more years and 51 weeks to go....

It's only been one week and already President Obama A.K.A. the Fresh Prez of Bill Ayers is revealing his true nature.

He was kind enough to grant his first T.V. interview to an Arabic Cable Network, Al Arabiya, so that he could get an early start on his appeasement program. He wasted no time in demonizing America as dictatorial-here read for yourself.

Also, I love a man who pays his bills on time. Here, Obambi makes provision to pay ACORN for all the work they put in on the campaign trail registering felons, dead people and multiples. I am sure the current investigation of ACORN will be both thorough and impartial.

As the late great, spinning-in-his-grave Sir Winston Churchill once said, "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, in the hope that it eats him last".

Why is Chris Dodds not in jail?

Senator Chris Dodds, D-Conn, is currently the subject of an ethics investigation into whether 2 loans he received from Countywide influenced him in any way as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. He claims he did not receive preferential treatment under, what is now known as, the "friends of Angelo" program. "Angelo" being Angelo Mozilo, the head of Countrywide Bank. Check this Hartford Courant article for more detail.

Here is where it gets good. As part of Nancy Pelosi's "most ethical Congress ever", Dodds promised to reveal the details of both his loans. That was 185 days ago, as of this writing. I found a nifty clock gizmo at propublica.org that handily demonstrates his integrity, or lack thereof.

Meanwhile, his partner in crime, literally, that bastion of society Barney Frank had his boyfriend working at Fannie Mae. No conflict there, surely? Of course, this is the same Barney Frank who allowed a former boyfriend to run a male prostitution ring from the basement of his D.C. residence, as mentioned in the above link. Classy!

Also, as part of the T.A.R.P. bailout, look for A.C.O.R.N. already under investigation, to receive $4.9 Billion to provide "counselling" to folks who are about to lose their homes. No financial help, but "counselling". I guess they'll learn how to live in a fridge box under the freeway.

Thought of the day...

A Tele-Visual Delight

Last evening Mrs. Gazzer and I watched the final disc of a 3 disc DVD series called Long Way Down. In this 10 episode program we watched famous actor Ewan McGregor and not so famous actor Charley Boorman, travel from John O'Groats, the northernmost tip of Scotland, to Capetown, the southernmost tip of Africa, on their motorcycles. This 3 month, 15,000 mile odyssey is remarkable in itself, but is made even more enjoyable by the interactions of both protagonists with the folks they meet along the way. Highly recommended, even to non-motorcycle enthusiasts, as a wonderful travelogue.
I should note that this is their second such excursion. Previously they circumnavigated the world, starting in London in an easterly direction. That epic journey, Long Way Round, was also fully documented in DVD format as they traveled 3 continents and 15 countries over a distance of 20,000 miles.
Ewan McGregor of course, needs no introduction and is known for his thespian skills in movies ranging from Trainspotting to Star Wars.
Charley Boorman, whilst not so well known has appeared in around 30 movies. His father was the legendary director, producer, writer and actor who gave us such classics as Point Blank (1967) and Deliverance (1972).
Incidentally, Charley made his screen debut as a six year old in that film. Two other John Boorman helmed flicks that are must-sees, but less well known are Hope and Glory (1987), a movie of family life set in WWII, and The General (1998) which is an interesting tale of the conflict between a ne'er-do-well and the authorities set in 1980's Ireland.
All thoroughly enjoyable and available from Netflix, a service I highly recommend.
