“The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards.” —Alexander Jablokov
Once upon a time, There was this Filthy rich Democrat who aspired to public office. Not just any public office, but Mayor for the city of New York. So in 2001 this filthy rich Democrat changed his party affiliation to “Republican” and ran for mayor at the tail end of Rudolph Guiliani’s term.
Off went this filthy, rich Democrat-turned-Republican, spending $73 Million to defeat Herman Badillo
Jeffy Katzenberg bundles 6.6 Million for Campaign Obama and, coincidentally, manages to get a meeting with the Communist Chinese Vice President, after which Katzenberg is allowed to build a Studio in China. But it gets better. Apparently Obama is not the only socialist whose pockets he is lining. The SEC is investigating whether Katzenberg may have bribed communist officials to ease the process of getting his new DreamWorks studio built in Shanghai.
Bribing is not uncommon in Communist China. but isn’t this off-shoring? Is there a shortage of US officials Katzenberg could bribe aside from Obama? And why is he building a huge studio in China? California too expensive?
Given the news that Democrat State Senator Matt Houde (D-State Senate District 5) became a paid lobbyist for the states largest health care provider in October on 2011, I am beginning to wonder how many health care or insurance related vote he made in the 2012 session of the New Hampshire State Senate that could … Read more
Just talked about this Yesterday…and I’ve been asking pointed questions for weeks (years?) about the fatal character flaws of Democrats who ignore the hate and violence in their own party that they would never tolerate from anyone else. It is hypocritical. And it is a cultural feature of the politics of the left that shows … Read more
No one respects found money, and there is nothing more abundantly “found” in its appearance than the millions and billions bilked from taxpayers every year to “run state and local government.”
In the midst of that relationship, between producers and their wallets, are the hordes of bureaucrats, too many of whom are taking advantage of every opportunity to justify their existence while wasting millions of taxpayer dollars in the process. You know who you are and we know there is at least one other person in New Hampshire who knows as well, and wishes you’d stop it.
So we’re introducing GrokWatch. Our goal? To identify and investigate cases of New Hampshire Bureaucrats Behaving Badly and then announce awards of shame for the worst cases…but we need your help.
“Experience has shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” —Thomas Jefferson
On April 3rd I detailed the happenings of the GSA and their corrupt spending practices in, GSA, Clowns, Mindreaders and Sushi. So, this morning at 5:50 AM I am watching Fox News and the narrative detailing a report on Jeffrey Neely, the western regional commissioner for GSA.
Representative Elijah Cummings, (D) Maryland made references to internal documents indicating that Jeff Neely was gleefully spending taxpayer funds like crowned royals. Neely and his wife were enjoying living large off of the taxpayers and were giddy about it.

“In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” —Mark Twain
Londonderry School District Superintendent Nate Greenberg lobbied against HB 1607, “AN ACT establishing an education tax credit.” Not surprising at all…In fact, this is expected.
Long ago, educrats stopped caring about the delivery of a qualitative, substantive education for the communities children over their now-obvious priority of self-serving, fat-cat wielding power fiefdoms to preserve and continue the never-ending focus on how much the taxpayers can be bled to feed the whims of the edaucracy.
“I used to look down on the world for being corrupt, but now I adore it for the utter magnificence of that corruption.” —Richard J. Needham
You cannot make this stuff up. The U.S. Office of Inspector General Released a 16-page report detailing the gross abuse and excesses in the use of taxpayer monies of the Obama Administration GSA Officials. Nothing says Hackarama like an expensive opulent junket like this. The report was released yesterday by the OIG.
In October of 2010, The U.S. Government Services Administration spent over $835,000 on a four-day “training” conference for 300 GSA employees…held at a luxury hotel outside Las Vegas.
I’ve been warning people about ONE Campaign, hapless New Hampshire Republican politicians in particular, for years now. While they were lining up like fools for photo-ops, I outlined the global government agenda for ONE campaign. I linked ONE to the UN’s corrupt, anti-liberty, anti-American Millennium development goals. I even connected ONE to Senator Obama’s shared objective of a mandated tax on American GDP to fund the ONE campaign agenda and others like it (All of that can be found here).
One is just one of many corrupt, global, social justice frontmen for the same old socialist song and dance-the redistribution of other people’s wealth. Just ask Bono. He helped found ONE, asks other people to donate to it in large sums, supports those mandated taxes on all GDP to fund that agenda, then runs off to seek a tax haven to avoid…paying twice as much in taxes.
But we are not here today to talk about Bono’s tax hypocrisy. Left-wing hypocrites are like pigeons in the park. They are everywhere. All they do is sh*t on you, and surround you, look at you sideways and squawk at you until you cough up the free stuff, and then they sh*t on you some more. (The #Occupy Wall Street freaks are just big pigeons, by the look of things.)
What we are here to talk about today is the corruption of ONE Campaign, and there is more than enough of that to go around.
“The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him.” —Henry L.

Forbes.com’s Kurt Badenhausen detailed America’s Most Miserable Cities, 2012 last week. In formulating his thesis, Badenhausen writes,
We looked at the 200 largest metropolitan statistical areas and divisions in the U.S. to determine America’s Most Miserable Cities. The minimum population to be eligible was 256,000. We ranked each area on 10 factors, including average unemployment rate between 2009 and 2011; median commute times to work for 2010 based on U.S. Census data; violent crimes per capita from the FBI’s 2010 Uniform Crime Report; and how pro sports teams fared in the area over the past three completed seasons.
“Voter Fraud is an accepted way of winning elections here…”—Unnamed Democratic Election Worker “This is an ongoing scheme and it occurs on both sides of the aisle…What appears as a huge conspiracy to non-political persons is really a normal political tactic.” — Democratic City Councilor Anthony Defiglio to NY State Police. http://youtu.be/Mc51hyhp33o Glad there’s no voter … Read more
“American youth attributes much more importance to arriving at driver’s license age than at voting age.” —Marshall McLuhan
Opponents of Voter ID laws argue the laws stifle turnout among students, poor people and minorities, who are more likely to vote for Democrats but might lack government-issued IDs, such as driver’s licenses and passports. And that is a totally flawed notion.
Why is that notion so flawed? Simple. Let us look first at the largest demographic in the U.S. who is most likely to seek out public assistance of any kind. In doing so, lets look at a program or two that are universally recognized:
With the coming of the Holiday season, some conversations will invariably gravitate to politics. One particular assertion during one such conversation galvanized in my mind a rather flawed logic. A flawed logic that is at the very heart of the probable cause of why America is on the path to destruction that it is today.
This particular relative, one who describes himself as a moderate, condemned this President, the House and the Senate for doing absolutely nothing to improve conditions in America. His viewpoint is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are willing to compromise…to reach across the aisle, to, “work together.” He went on to explain that even though Democrats do not agree with Republicans and vice-versa, each should be willing to accept some policy measure that each doesn’t like or agree with. The time-aged honored principle of “horse-trading.”
(Originally posted September 21st, this seems like a suitable follow up to yesterdays post. The premise? Refusing to allow conscientious objection to union participation forces people to fund the Democrat agenda. How can you claim to support Republican principles when you refuse to allow people the ability to opt out of paying union dues.)
Supporting forced unionization is the same as supporting mandatory campaign contributions to the Unions and the Democrat party. There is no conceivable way to separate the two. Unions are funded by dues. Democrats receive millions of dollars from unions to promote their agenda. And in some cases to promote it violently.
You can’t separate the two.
I think I made my point about Right To Work clear enough when I said this…
A vote to sustain the Lynch Veto and permit forced unionization is a vote for the mandatory and state funding of abortion; financing efforts to cripple or bypass our second amendment right to self defense; you are supporting state financed birth control, confiscation of property, increased taxation and broad based taxes, an expanding regulatory state and more centralized top down government, gimmick accounting, Gay marriage, genderless bathrooms, seat belt laws, the food police, socialized medicine, restrictions on free and corporate speech, and the entire manifold of Democrat party policy wishes which those dollars will continue to support and advance as long as workers are denied the opportunity to decide if they are willing to fund these policies or not on their own.
Unfortunately for New Hampshire we’ll have to wait until next year to fix the problem of worker choice but in the mean time, we can enjoy the benefit of the roll call vote, posted on the Jump.
One point of interest: Union bought and paid for RINO Kevin Janvrin voted against Right to work. That and so much more on the jump.
Throw Them All Out, which hits bookshelves nationwide on Tuesday, reportedly contains a powder keg of original investigative information that suggests Pelosi leveraged her insider status to acquire her highly profitable Visa IPO and then used her congressional authority to shield Visa from disadvantageous legislation.
Brendan Bisbee, love interest of the infamous shrew Kristin Ruggiero is presently on trial
answering to seven counts of Perjury where prosecutors allege he lied for Kristin during her trial. Also under indictment are Elizabeth “Kim” McDonald, Kristin’s mother, Daniel Ruggiero, Chief Petty Officer Jeffrey Ruggiero’s estranged brother and of course, Kristin has been re-indicted following her trial on twenty-one new counts consisting of witness tampering, four counts; falsifying evidence, three counts; Solicitation/Perjury, four counts; Perjury, six counts and, Unsworn Falsification, four counts. Shrew Kristin pal, Sharon Cohen who testified at trial, also faces legal exposure, but has yet to be indicted.
Aside from the obvious “Midas Touch: of sorts Kristin seems to possess, that is, those who get tangled up in Kristin’s web of manipulation would be well-served to have legal counsel retained. People who take up with Kristin inevitably face legal exposure.
“Imagine a political system so radical as to promise to move more of the poorest 20% of the population into the richest 20% than remain in the poorest bracket within the decade?

Long story short, if the regs went into place the vitamin shelf at the store would be emptied until supplement makers submitting test results to the FDA and the products were approved. And the added for battling the bureaucracy and testing regime? You’d be paying that when they products went back on the shelf, if they did.
