What language was that?

Just like Bill Clinton, Jeremiah Wright can't afford to let his bitch win.

memo to IAEA: thats what happens when you don't matter

From Fox news
"State Department Tells U.N. to Stop Complaining and Start Investigating Syria's Secret Nuclear Reactor Project"

Who does state think its talking too. Complaining is the full extent of U.N. force. Strongly worded complaints and condemnation.
"IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei's complaint that the U.S. did not give his organization intelligence information sooner on what Washington says was a nuclear reactor in Syria being built secretly by North Korea. ... ElBaradei's also chastised Israel for bombing the site seven months ago, in a statement whose strong language reflected anger at being kept out of the picture for so long."

Precisely why should anyone bother to tell the IAEA and the UN anything? Sanctions weren't going to destroy the Box on the Euphrates. Why use diplomats when kinetic energy works?


Being ignored is the consequence of being inconsequential.

What else could they be trying to say?

Hasselhoff is held as proof that Germans have better taste than... me?

Predictions for electoral upset, or how John McCain owes his presidency to Bill Clinton

With the election more than six months away only a fool would make predictions. Uh... I realize I'm going far out on a weak limb but at least nobody has asked me to make a wager yet. I say John McCain will win in November.

Its already begun. Democrats are already tired of the infighting. Some of the friends who just weeks ago would say 'I'm voting democrat no matter who they nominate" are now saying "screw Clinton, I'm voting for Nader if she's nominated." Its happening on both sides of the new Democrat party divide. The longer and harder HilRod fights the more her supporters become attached. It doesn't take much bitterness from Obama to form a grudge.

You see, HillRod cannot win. Cannot. Its over. Its impossible for her to collect enough delegates through primaries to surpass BHO's lead. For all the coverage and money spent and hours of our lives wasted she gained 10 points on OHB's 160 point lead. She also cannot be stopped - she's the liquid metal terminator. (Will someone please make a video of HillRod rising from a pool of liquid metal?) Only she and Bill know how she plans to take the nomination. This is politics after all, anything can happen. Persistence might pay off if a bombshell lands directly on BHO. Not a literal JDAM, but the newer more accurate info bomb. If Barry becomes truly unelectable before the convention by way of scandal HillRod will be seen as wise to have stuck it out. She must be trying very hard to release the bombs, but regardless she's fighting to the end. Creating loyalists along the way.

Those loyalists will not be voting for Obama. They may stay home, some may vote Nader, and a few will vote McCain. The opposite would be true if Mrs. Clinton won - his supports aren't wild about her. At a minimum these won't be as energized to be riding a new horse. They liked their old horse. They aren't going to be enthusiastically arguing at the water cooler, or harassing neighbors to register and vote, or donating. (More on donations in a moment.)

Hillary's base is middle class working women. Mostly white women ages 25 - 105. Probably some other women too, but not black women. Barry has the black vote and he'll take them to his grave. Lots of the Clinton and Obama enthusiasm comes from the newness and excitement of electing the First Black or First Woman President. That mostly appeals to you if you're Black or female. When the choice is between BHO and McCain I think white middle class women jump to McCain in large numbers. Obama agrees. Consider this statement by his campaign manager David Axelrod:
"The white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, going back even to the Clinton years." (ED. Did he just call Bill a Republican? Slam!)

Onto donations: The longer the blue-on-blue fight continues the more resources the left is spending against itself. When November rolls around how many contributers will be at the $2300 limit?

More later...

Buy Bulk

Here it comes.

There are food shortages in 33 countries today. Read the article above - stores are running out of things like rice and limiting how much customers can buy in California. Yeah we all know California sucks, but unfortunately they are trend setters for lots of things. Oh yeah foreclosures are up 330% in California. Foreclosures outnumber sales in Cali.

Thank your political heros for ethanol subsidies.

The Secret Genius adds this link http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/04/17/business/17warm.php Drought in Australia is hurting rice supplies.

I'm heading to Costco today after work to load up.

Hoard food and ammo...

Get on your knees, Hillary

Here's a good question to ask Hillary in the next round of Youtube debates.
Mrs. Clinton, as a god fearing woman do you pray before bed every night? Do you and Bill say grace before meals? In your prayers do you thank God for Ross Perot?

Who's dream ticket is this?

Can you smell what Barrack is cooking?

For the first time in my life I'm not particularly fond of any of candidates running for POTUS. Its kind of nice. Its like watching the Super Bowl when you don't care who wins. The election certainly isn't inconsequential but being emotionally detached allows for the necessary perspective to analyze this shit. In other words, I get to sit back and enjoy the show.

Part 1, The Phenom ain't ready for prime time. He's good on his feet but when he's scripted he sounds like every other con^H^H^H politician - phony.




Its old news by now that he stuck his foot in his mouth by calling his target audience bitter. Standard political pandering to his San Francisco audience, but you can't let that kind of shit get out now. Obama has had the media covering his back so far in his career but that may not last forever. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, Barry. We all know there are skeletons in the closet (Ayers, Rezko).

When it happens, it will happen fast. Great post by Wretchard on Internet Storms.


Another classic rookie mistake
