Monkeys — and Congress

From a friend…

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top. Then you place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result… all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another Monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one[…]

Marie Antoinette Obama

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars plus additional expenses for my vacation in Spain. My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven’t lived until you have stayed in a $2,500 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. We only booked 70 rooms for our friends, staff and family. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret[…]

Christie 2012

Occasionally I will be posting here what a good friend of mine colloquially refers to as, “Christie porn,” e.g. stuff that is so politically incorrect, fascinating and habit-forming to watch and listen to that one simply can’t help oneself.

This is the latest. Christie takes a question from a reporter and just hammers good solid once-common common sense.

For more “Christie porn” here are several on YouTube that relate to teachers and their unions.

There are alot of names in the hopper for the GOP nom in 2012 to begin to return America to common sense, the Rule of Law and the Constitution. NONE have[…]

Obama Halts Prosecution of Planner of USS Cole Bombing

You can’t make this stuff up….

The Washington Post, no less, is reporting this.

I guess Obama gets to do this if he wants to… but the DoD and ALL SERVING MILITARY PERSONNEL ought to take a new look at their CINC and his halting the judicial prosecution of a man who planned the attack that killed 17 and wounded 39 serving US Navy personnel.

Now if you recall, the Left insists that we treat terrorism as a criminal, rather than a military, issue…. and now we refuse to prosecute those the Left insists are criminals?

Am I on Candid Camera?

The military inculcates a[…]

How about a sane approach to the Mosque?

America, and the West in general (in fact, it’s part of the foundation of the West) is extraordinarily tolerant of religious practices. Our Liberal wings all believe in the relative equality of cultures and equal outcomes.

So - how about this:

Saudi Arabia is the home of Islam - Mecca, Medina and all that. The Muslim world views NYC as the financial and power center of the West. The Muslim wanting to build the mosque says he is doing so with the goal of religious outreach and interfaith understanding.

So… in keeping with that concept: We build a large Christian church in Mecca[…]

Intel CEO Otellini: The Democrats Are Destroying our Economy

From Red State

Now Intel is arguably the premier tech company in America, perhaps the world. They invented the chip on which all PCs have been built for generations….

Please read the linked article. It kinda sums-up the business climate in the US after having the Far-Left in-charge of Congress, spending, the budget and national legislative priorities since 2007.. and having had the most radical Leftist in our history ignoring his job in the White House in order to rule as a totalitarian autocrat for fewer than 20 months.

Here’re just a few snippets to get your appetite whetted:

“I think this group [Democrat-dominated[…]

Government Spending Depresses Earnings - A Case Study

Here is a brief article contrasting two very similar states - Maine and New Hampshire - and how much their economies rely on government spending and taxation to support that spending, vs private sector spending and fewer taxes, and what is the effect on earnings and living standards of that government spending.

The historical fact is, of course, at-odds with Obama, Pelosi, and “Liberals” everywhere.

Fewer and lower taxes = more growth, higher earnings, better standards of living… every time.

Why, again, is it that the Democrats are allowed by the media and those who ought to know better to sell themselves as the[…]

Disgusting Shari’a and Saudi Islam

While the rest of the world struggles forward in the 21^st Century, the Saudi brand of Islam remains - willfully, stubbornly, revoltingly - rooted in the 7^th.

Here is an article on a sentence handed down in the Saudi “judicial” system. Technically speaking, of course, the court finds guilt and the victim, or the victim’s family, decides the sentence. This is a technicality. With the government allowing the victim to select any kind of punishment, the government remains responsible for any selection made.

The concept that governments are there to protect the rights , freedoms and liberties  of - to say nothing of not[…]

New Business Venture

A friend of mine just started a new business.

He’s making land mines that look like prayer rugs.

Says business is doing well.

Prophets are going through the roof.
