The professional union driven “strikes” being fomented by professional jack-asses around the nation are the culmination of several layers of manufactured failure and outrage.  First, the Democrats have been ruining the economy and expanding the part-time employment culture–that’s planned failure.  And now that these people feel trapped (as intended) the unions are organizing them to revolt against the injustice that their political flunkies may have created for just that purpose.  That’s planned outrage.

But the unions are not interested in blaming democrats for the plight of entry level workers, they are blaming businesses.

As Democrats in the US Senate, including NH’s Jeanne Shaheen,  work to deny states the right to decide things about abortion it occurs to me to take a slightly different tack on the issue.

Life, if environmentalists (who are overwhelmingly Democrat) are to be believed, is what flourishes through natural mechanisms in the absence of outside interference.   You know, Life, “The capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.”  The planet grows and expands to fill all the spaces it can and people are no different.  You and I are only here because from our very beginning until now nothing has come between us and being alive, everything preceding death.  Nothing has ended our lives.

But where did we begin?  If we stick to the “necessary equipment” without getting philosophical you need a man and a woman and a womb.   If you are missing any of the three, there is no human life.  You are not here.  It naturally follows then that what is created when these things do come together, is life.

Back in May of this year the People’s Republic of Keene, the city of Keene New Hampshire, filed a lawsuit against six members of Free Keene for “taunting and intimidating” parking enforcement officers.

These six members of Free Keene were moving around the city putting change in expired meters to prevent the drivers from getting parking tickets, and would then “place cards under windshield wipers that read, “Your meter expired; however, we saved you from the king’s tariffs, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Please consider paying it forward,” and includes an address where donations can be sent.”

Keene eventually filed a second suit seeking monetary damages, and just this week Cheshire “superior” court judge John C Kissinger Jr. tossed both suits out.

MSNBC has forced out the serially offensive progressive talking head Martin Bashir, who “resigned” after a meeting with is boss.  Bashir read remarks on the air three weeks previously in which he suggested that someone needed to defecate in Sarah Palin’s mouth; just the latest in a long line of insults against Palin and his serial obsession with the objectification of women.

This is instructive because Bashir is what happens when you let a Democrat like Peter Sullivan go unpunished for off-hand politically driven sexist and insulting public remarks toward women.

Right off the bat, all five stages of Democrat political ‘grief’ are denial.  Just wanted to clear that up. They deny their very nature, deny they raise taxes on the poor and middle class, deny they are responsible for the side-effects of their policies, deny they are the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, eugenics,(that welfare is a trap), food stamps, unemployment and economic misery.

They deny that they said you could keep your plan, that they lied about the YouTube Movie and Benghazi, that Bill Clinton abused women–lots of women or was a serial liar and cheat, and they deny that they are socialists and Marxists, which is funny because if you put the agenda of a Marxist next to the agenda of modern Democrats the only difference is….well, there isn’t one.

Here’s something you’ll do next to nothing with.  The top four names for girl-dogs, for the eighth straight year in a row (no crooked years were included) are Bella, Daisy, Lucy, and Molly.    I have included the list for both most popular boy and girl dog names, top 50 for each, for 2013.  The list was compiled from a database of 925,000 names from vetstreet.com.

I didn’t name either of my dogs, they do have names–I just did not choose them, but it has long been my opinion that a Dickensian approach is not unwarranted.  If I had my druthers with regard to naming conventions for pooches my top 3 would be Kirby, Dyson, and Hoover.  For the girls, there is always Bissell, Eureka and Elecrtrolux.  Rainbow or Oreck might also serve in a pinch the former for a girl, the latter a boy.  Or not.

The graphic with the list of top 50 names for either gender of doggie is on the jump.

Organizing for Acorn is using the anniversary of the Newtown tragedy to add names to their email and fundraising list.  How does that conversation go?

“Hey, let’s use the bodies of dead children to expand our influence and political power, we just have to call it something else…”

That’s how it goes. At least I now feel justified (again) in calling them OFA-holes.

Will anyone in the New Hampshire Democrat Party feel an ounce of pressure to speak out against this.  How about Democrat Party spokes-kid Harrel Kirstein, who also happens to be the spokes-kid for Organizing For Acorn-NH?  Democrats are OK with this? Fundraising and list builing on the massacre of children…

I’m not surprised.

President Obama is going to do the only thing he knows how to do…campaign.  Health Care.gov is “fixed,” as if that is as likley to be true as anything else any of them have said for the past four years about the Democrat Party water-boarding of US Healthcare; but honesty never mattered before and it does not matter now.   Every day until Christmas (I assume that is Christmas 2013) the Liar in Chief will be speaking to diminishing crowds of  fainting groupies, OFA-holes, or whomever they have to pay to show up for the Regime-managed propaganda photos, about how great ObamaCare and Heathcare.gov are and how mush ‘America’ cares.

As one pundit remarked in regard to this scheme, and I’m paraphrasing… even if it is fixed (and it is not) you still lied.  People can’t keep their plan or their Doctor (nor their hospital nor treatments).  These things don’t change regardless of degrees of dysfunction.

The Web site is still a major disaster and you may manage to complete that sign-up process but that does not mean you have or will have health insurance.

The new spin on the Comrade Petey Sullivan Scandal (White, Male, Democrat makes sexist comments about a female candidate) is that it is time to move on.   Sullivan has obviously been told by party leadership to shut up and not talk about it.  He is not allowed to respond to the stream of links or remarks directly.  The party has shut the sexist pasty-white man down…becasue they agree with him and would rather this go away than end up having to  make a statement or ask him to apologize, which would be an insincere waste of everyone’s time because we all know.  Democrats are sexist pigs with double standards, who tolerate rape threats, infidelity, hate, bullying, intimidation, and all manner of objectification of women as long as it is coming from Democrat men.  Besides, those Republicans have some nerve pretending they are not sexist.  So enough.

Nothing to see here.  We shouldn’t be wasting our time on this.  Let’s talk about issues.

Issues?  But we are talking about issues…

Senator Shaheen has sided with Kermit Gosnell (and his ilk) as one of several co-sponsors to S.1696, a bill designed to undo by federal fiat any state law that defines when life begins or attempts to regulate the abortion industry or abortion providers.   State’s can’t be trusted.  Only distant Federal ‘experts’ and their bureaucratic minions shall handle such matters.

Here are a few prohibitions S. 1696 would place on states…

SEC. 4. PROHIBITED MEASURES AND ACTIONS.

(a) General Prohibitions- The following limitations or requirements are unlawful and shall not be imposed or applied by any government because they single out the provision of abortion services for restrictions that are more burdensome than those restrictions imposed on medically comparable procedures, they do not significantly advance women’s health or the safety of abortion services, and they make abortion services more difficult to access:

(1) A requirement that a medical professional perform specific tests or follow specific medical procedures in connection with the provision of an abortion, unless generally required for the provision of medically comparable procedures.

Panel of  Scientists says UN Study Retreats, Misleads, and Misinforms

A panel of 50 scientists from 15 countries says the newest report from the United Nations on climate change is filled with concessions that its past predictions were too extreme and contains “at least 13 misleading or untrue statements and 11 further statements that are phrased in such a way that they mislead readers or misrepresent important aspects of the science.”

“Why should we believe what the IPCC predicts, given the model prediction/projection failures, plus manipulation of the data, plus hiding of data, plus false claims that those preparing IPCC reports are experts, plus Climategate in general, plus Glaciergate?” asked Laurence Gould, professor of physics at the University of Hartford, a chapter peer-reviewer for the NIPCC report.
