Blogline of the Day – Obama said something about oceans a while ago? Oh yeah!

Sidenote: Still have power but Internet is REALLY, REALLY slow  (lots of flickering but still have power – have not turned on the generator).  But blogging?  Measure response time in geological timeframes. Heh!  Obama said “This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow” during his campaign back in 2008. Blogline … Read more

Hurricane Sandy – NH is out of power

Much worse in other states, to be sure.  But with 1.3 million people in the state, almost a quarter million customers are out of power.  Including many of the Groksters, so consider this your “blogging will be light today” notice. Just from PSNH, a map of their outages: Pray for the folks in along the … Read more

The Mainstream Media….

Mainstream media lies....

A Harley biker rode by the zoo in Washington, DC and saw a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabbed her by her jacket and tried to pull her inside as her parents screamed. The biker jumped off his Harley, ran to the cage and punched the lion on his sensitive nose. Whimpering from pain the lion let go of the girl. The biker took the girl back to her terrified parents. A reporter saw the whole thing and says to the biker, “This was the bravest thing I’ve seen in my life. I’m a journalist, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page. What do you do for a living and what’s your political party?” The biker replies “I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.” The next day’s Washington Post headline:

And So It Begins…

We already lost power at my house. Not surprising. Anyone want to start guessing how long it will take to get it back? Update from Skip:  1/2 hour ago, PSNH reported about 10,100 customers out.  Just now, 20,100.  Guess what just arrived!

MOM’s Against Maggie Hassan

New Facebook page alert.  There is now a page called MOM’s Against Maggie Hassan. Why? Maggie is against mom’s, that’s why. Don’t beleive me, check out her voing record.   Maggie thinks the abortion lobby is more important than mom’s knowing if their underage daughters are seeking those services.  Maggie objects to homeschooloing, k-12 scholarships, or … Read more

EPA and Hurricane Sandy – yeah, sure “they’re here to help” (Not!)

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.”

– President Barack Obama, Inauguration, 1/20/09

In this case, Ronaldus Magnus’s words, with Hurricane Sandy about to make landfall, come to mind: “Government is not the solution to our problem, it IS the problem”.  He was talking about the Jimmy Carter “malaise” that permeated the American psyche at the time – I’m only talking about gas.  No, not the drilling, the refining part – more of the “how do they expect me to transfer gas with this stupid EPA Mandated gas container spout???  This is ‘helping’??”  Now, what are most people thinking about doing with gas containers right now?  Well, yesterday I saw a lot of folks leaf blowing and cutting their lawns – with gas power blowers and tractors.  My intent, however was different – having bought some new containers a bit ago and filled them up, it was time to top off the new 4X4 and get the new generator ready and then fill them back up again.  That part was fine – just take off the spouts and fill them up.

Sidenote:  sigh….I just turned the age where the pharmacy no longer puts the “kid-safe” tops on my med bottles.  Nice to see that the EPA decided that we’re never too old, and never responsible enough,  to be able to take the cover off of a commonly used liquid container in an easy fashion – they don’t trust us!

Life used to be easier, years ago.  If you needed to keep some gas on hand for the lawnmower, the leaf blower, the tractor, ( generator!!) and other misc. small gas engine powered implements, you used one of these.  Simple design – when not in use, the spout is kept inside.  Go to use it, reverse it AND undo the “air hole” at the back so that the gas doesn’t do the  “chug-lug” that makes it hard to pour that stuff out be eliminating the partial vacuum that happens. Then the EPA decided that they just HAD to “improve” our lives  in the name of our safety and to “protect the environment”.  And this ended up being the result:

Once again, the Dems role out kids as Political Fodder

You can tell when the Dems are either at the top of their form or are scared out of the wits.  With either extreme, they go back to the old trick in their book – roll out “the kids”.  Now, the Adults in the Room (pretty much, Conservatives and Libertarians) are pretty much disgusted with this, but the Dems keep thinking that this is smart politics – playing on Society’s and parents’ emotions.  If “Forward!”doesn’t get to you …”It’s for the kids” should.  After all, they are our future (and paying for our Social Security checks and checking us into our final nursing homes, right?) as if that is supposed to cover all ills – and ideologies.  Sure, we want to protect our kids and provide for them, but for Dems, they often are just mere political props.

Sidenote: “FORWARD!”  –  The new Obama campaign “phrase” updated with “!” as if that is supposed to make it more imperative to vote for Obamessiah.  You know what it makes me think of immediately?

  • A military commander urging his troops onward to battle to protect the homeland.  Imagine that: voting for Obama is Patriotism itself!
  • Didn’t somebody back in 1917 start using that as well?

A feminist asks, “Which side are you on?”

Ever wonder where all our stuff comes from? Probably not, if you’re blind to reality and totally ignorant about economics. The truefeminist.com video below is exceedingly clear and instructive. That is to say, you don’t have to be a statist idiot to be a feminist. The narrator, Sam Sorbo, is the wife of the former Hercules star, … Read more

Confidence Man in Chief

Selwyn Duke at American Thinker gives us more evidence that Mr. Obama is a liar of first resort.  That politics and preservation, the accumulation of power come before all else.  The most recent example is Benghazi and Duke visits that point, but here’s the bit that caught my attention.

Appearing before a mostly black audience and speaking Ebonics-style (despite never having lived in a black community), Obama accused the federal government of showing cruel indifference to the primarily black victims of Hurricane Katrina.

I think I’m in love….

Here’s Ann Coulter, starting with a defense of New Hampshire’s own John Sununu. We already knew it—she’s damned good—but it’s well worth repeating…and well worth watching.

Sandy, FEMA, and Sequestration – Obama Plan Cuts Deep Into State and Local Emergency Programs

Obama, Biden, and Democrats in general continue to lie about sequestration–it was the Obama Administrations idea, sold to Harry Reid, pushed by the media, with the standard the world will end if we don’t do something from the same people who refuse to pass a budget that would make all of this unnecessary.

Up until now, all the chatter has been about what ti could, would, or would not do to the us military, but according to Joel Pollak at Breitbart, the cuts, detailed on pages 94 through 96 of the White House’s sequestration proposal, dig deep into FEMA and state and local emergency programs.

The White House sequestration proposal also warns: “The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s ability to respond to incidents of terrorism and other catastrophic events would be undermined.”

Now THIS is a true meaning of “Honor”

When your well being plays no role.  At all.  No Benghazi-Gate here.  (H/T: RedState) Update from Ace of Spades HQ comment:  “Think of this the next time we see a photo of Obama with his feet on the desk in the Oval office.”

Obama’s Brown Shirts….Forward!

If Republicans were willing to agree with Democrats, we could get along.   Never the other way around.  So short of just agreeing with them (in most cses we agree on slightly less than nothing), we should continue to expect to be called names, insulted, attacked, and here’s just a few examples of the kind of … Read more

Data Point – Free Trade effect on Economy, Hunger, Environment

“Contrary to the claims that “unfair” foreign competition hurts the jobs at home, the unemployment rate actually fares better in times of higher trade deficits. Bryan Riley and former Ambassador Terry Miller provide further clarification:  When the trade deficit increases, the unemployment rate decreases, and vice versa. For example, in 2009, the U.S. trade deficit … Read more

Data Point – Rasmussen

  Every day, Rasmussen has been polling likely voters (not just adults, not just registered, but LIKELY voters) as to their picks for Prez.  Now, like the stock market, today’s result is cannot be held to be tomorrow’s result.  However, when you start piling up all the other polls (but throwing those out that are … Read more

I want to know…

….if you can look at THIS SET OF PICTURES on the Internet, and not laugh out loud. That’s right. I said “out loud.” Go on. Look at ’em. Then tell me. Here’s an example:

Obama Watched Benghazi From Situation Room

Obama is reported to have been watching the Benghazi attack in real time.  If true, this adds a whole new layer to the lies, misdirection, and…oh yeah, lies.  Four Dead In Ben-Gha-zi.
