Science Fraud 101

Today Charles Krauthammer wrote a column discussing how the passage of time has vindicated the morality of George Bush's stand against unlimited Federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. I'm no ethical expert, if test-tube formed embryos can save the lives or health of actual humans that's fine with me and we should note, for the record that we are talking about the wisdom of subsidizing this research with taxpayer's money, not making the research illegal.
The real ethical issue is the use of this issue for political purposes. Global Warming redux. Junk science mascarading as a messianic save-the-world reason to reject free markets and place all your hope in total government. Unless you turn your life over to the Wise Bureaucrats the giant tidal wave generated by the consumer-melted polar ice caps will wash over you as you sit crippled by Parkinsons disease in your wheelchair, unable to save yourself when you're konked by a starved polar bear as the tsunami hits.
I seem to remember the Democratic convention in 2004 where George Bush was blamed for keeping Christopher Reeves a helpless cripple by his moralistic niggling. The crippled would rise from their wheelchairs, Parkinsonson's victims would have fulfilling new lives repairing watches with their rock-steady hands, the formerly deaf would write new symphonies of praise to the noble embryos that gave their lives so others might hear, the blind would be blessed with sight!The morons that infest my eternally bankrupt home state of California, led by the Jerkinator, passed a THREE BILLION DOLLAR embryonic stem cell ballot measure to counteract the evil meanness of those Wascally Wepublicans. Curiously, Evil Big Pharma, always greedy for more of the hard-earned cash from the pockets of the sick and crippled seems to lack the same enthusiasm for this miracle cure for everything that is evinced by the geniuses who have managed to weasel their way into elective office. Apparently swindling half the voters in your district qualifies you to cure all disease and fix the weather. So now we've had years of lavishly-funded embryonic stem cell research, in fact over-funding political fad diseases like E-Bola have starved funding for the new anti-biotic resistant strains of bacteria that are actually killing thousands of people. So where's the cures you morons? This mob rule in science may or may not be immoral but it is certainly stupid.

Death To The Kulaks!

the_new_party_of_the_rich

I just read an essay by Donald Lambro about how the richest districts in the country are becoming increasingly Democratic. The traditional elite rich universities turned into Socialist indoctrination camps in the sixties and a half-century of propaganda is showing results. The managerial class wants stasis and stability and thats what the Dems offer. None of this Free Enterprise entrepreneurial crap for them, they've got theirs already. But now the hungry state is looking for new sources of revenue. The poor and working class have either been freed from all income taxes or handed EITC subsidies and the philosophical jump to 'tax the poor' is too much for the Party That Cares. Anyway, non-income taxes (sales, property and excise) are already squeezing the lower orders to the breaking point. Ah, you lovely fat yuppies, sitting smug in your vacation homes with your plump 401k's, its time for you to enjoy the fruits of your own misguided rhetoric. May the tax writers show you no mercy if you manage to inflict a Democratic victory on us this year and the tax collectors even less. After all, its for the Children!

I forgot to add my call for the immediate confiscation of the wealth of Warren Buffet, Bill Gates,George Soros, the Ford, Rockefeller, Keck and Carnegie Foundations. Can we afford to do anything less in a country where 47,000,000 people dont have health care? Wow! This left-wing larceny thing is fun! HILLARY IN 08!

Anderson Crapper

The Clinton News Network strikes again. Another appalling debate where CNN picked questions from YutzTube. The questions were either from Dem campaign workers or badly lit troglodytes in trailers with Confederate flags in the background. They spent a long time on that big issue Gays In The Military, using a Clinton Campaign Advisor to ask the question and then handing him the microphone to make a speech (they flew him from California to Florida to attend and then denied that they knew he worked for the Clinton campaign. Classy!). Hot Republican issues like Biblical literalism were well covered, just to make sure the public understands what a dangerous bunch of religious zealots all conservatives are.
Why did the Repubs let themselves be stereotyped by these left-wing Clintonoid liars? The questioners were either Democratic employees or selected for their nuttiness to achieve a maximum anti-Republican effect. CNN claims they they didnt know that the questioners were plants. Yeah sure. Democratic operatives snuck into this debate and also into the Dem debate in Las Vegas and CNN just didnt catch it. BOLLOCKS! What a bunch of lying left-wing hacks they are at CNN. No questions about taxes, non-Iraq foreign policy, Iran (a subject that caused some of the most embarrassing answers during the Dem debate) education, overregulation or Federal Health Care. Still, with that said, the candidates didnt do that badly. It seems the Dems cant even win with loaded dice. The contrast between the two debates is striking. There was a wide range of opinions amongst the Reps, the Dems just blandly parroted the PC party line. Even with these inferior questions the Reps demonstrated intelligence and a command of the issues. The softball questions in the Des Moines Dem debate still managed to derail their frontrunner. The Dems cant give straight answers, the Repubs can basically say what they think (unless their name is Mutt Romney who thinks all kinds of different things at various times) without having to worry that average people might be horrified. The Dems have to prevaricate. If the truth of their Socialist views were known they would lose in a landslide.
It will be interesting to see the blowback from this. I dont think Giuliani lost any support and he didnt plant any future extremist position bombs to blow up in his face in the general election. Romney's support will flow to Huckabee, I think his smarmy insincerity doomed him among evangelicals and didnt make any converts with any other groups in the party. Huckabee hit all the born-again buttons but came across as very weak on other issues. McCain was likable but has no credibility. Thompson is too froggy and slow. Paul was his usual crackpot whiny self. Tancredo and Hunter were invisible.
So where are we now? Iowa will finish Romney, Tancredo, Hunter, McCain and Thompson leaving Rudy, Huckabee and the eternal moron Ron Paul to fight it out. If Hillary cant manage to stop the decline of her faltering campaign either Rudy or Huckabee will be facing Obama.
An interesting scenario.

Hillary Is Not Going To Do It

I dont think she has the political skill to win the Democratic nomination. The cracks are already showing. I'm in the Hollywood film community. Everyone I know is a liberal or a hard-core leftist. They are all very wary of Hillary. The corruption and phoniness that embarrassed them during the Bill years are still there and it really bugs them. They might have yelled at the top of their lungs that oral sex and perjury dont matter but most decent people know that they do matter. The air of dishonesty and thuggery disturbs people who honestly agree with Mrs. Clinton politically. Why is it neccessary ? It just gives the right-wingers ammunition to use against Progressives. Its hard to see yourself as an altruistic, world-saving, caring good-guy when you're voting for a candidate who is laundering bundled Chicom campaign cash through Chinatown human trafficking gangs. Mrs. Clinton isnt able to get a positive message out without more scary stuff hovering around the edges. Obama is a reliable liberal and he's a fairly nice guy . Dumping the Clintons sets liberals free from four years of their Right-Wing nerd relatives regurgitating scandal stories at them at family gatherings. Left wing people felt as betrayed by Bill Clinton as we all feel by Dubya and they remember it well. Obama presents a credible alternative. He will get it.

Worse Than Munich

The presidency of George W Bush has been one long, sad series of disappointments and betrayals. He's truckled to his enemies and spit on his supporters at every turn. He's turned the Republican Party into a spineless doormat and let the Dems run amok without any opposition. And now, in a pathetic attempt at a legacy worthy of the one attempted at the end of the Goat-Boy administration, he seeks to enable Holocaust II with his conference for a Final Solution To The Israeli Question to be held in Annapolis. Every towel-headed terrorist Jew-hater in the region has been given a seat at the table.
What a sad loser he is. And what a horrible argument against democracy is that gnomish moron Ehud Olmert. After his unbelievable blundering and incompetence were highlighted for all to see in his pathetic response to Hezbollah last year why did the Israeli electorate not rise up and expel him and the kleptomaniacs who surround him in the Knesset from their cushy sinecures? I suppose once the state starts handing out goodies to one and all even a stark theat to national survival is less terrifying than losing your seat at the trough. The more fool them. Comparing this to Munich in 1938 is not appropriate. After all, Hitler hadnt been issuing threats to exterminate Czechs, it was presented as an administrative adjustment. This is handing an entire population over to their bloodthirsty enemies to be slaughtered with our eyes wide open.Bush didnt have the guts or the skill to demand oil drilling in ANWAR or offshore,or the political will to start building nuclear power plants so now we are on our knees to the Saudis. Shame on Bush and Rice for this nightmare.

The Others Are No Better

The only difference between Hillary and the other libs on the stage in LV was her cloud of scandal and misbehavior. They all want immediate amnesty for all illegals (with immediate access granted to Federal givaway programs),retreat and weakness overseas with Russia and China being able to veto any US action in the UN Security Council, gigantic and steeply progressive tax increases, federalization of medical care, unlimited judicial activism, federal control of all school curricula (ALA Ted Kennedy's 'No Child Left Behind' act, except more), heavy restrictions on trade, an end to secret balloting in Union elections and the end to free speech in the form of talk radio. They cant be honest about any of their agenda because they would lose the election. If Hillary collapses (please God, make it so!) whoever takes over as the frontrunner will have to evade giving straight answers if he wants to have any chance of winning.

Date Rape- Clinton Style!

Yes, we all knew that the eunuchs at the Clinton News Network would grovel. We knew that the 'undecideds' that sniveled their incoherent questions would all turn out to be paid Demo activists. We understood that the mainstream media would jump up and down and declare Hillary the winner because she once again avoided giving any straight answers. All that was easily foreseen. But the best moment, to me, was when she fulsomely railed against the 'poisoned toys' that that rascally Dubya was letting her employers in Bejing ship to America. When Her Thighness starts slingin' about them children somethings up. And sure enough, it turns out that Mark Penn, her campaign manager and guru is chairman of the company that does all the public relations for the Chicom enterprise that shipped the toy covered with the date-rape drug. What Chutzpah! A new level of shamelessness and trust that the servile worms in the news media would ignore yet another blast of rotten air from the Clinton Crime Family. Bravo Left Wingers! You've finally proven that you've completely lost your sense of smell! Go take the day off and do something else nice for the children.

What Cheek!

Her husband is roaming the planet birddoggin babes and banging beaver as he collects baskets of cash from all and sundry, while she's here at home lying like a rug and openly taking gigantic bribes from the Chicoms while her campaign issues naked threats against reporters to avoid having to answer tough questions. So now she has it leaked to her servile media helots that she's got something on milquetoast Obama? It would have to be a videotape of him having sex with a male goat on a pile of stolen FBI files while Ahmadinejad stuffs hundred dollar bills in his pocket for it to rise to the level of the Clinton's shenanigans. I suppose if the Democrats can accept the lunatic ravings on display in Las Vegas by her and the other deranged socialist loonies as a coherent political philosophy they can enthusiastically follow the perverted twists and turns of Her Royal Thighness' War Room and happily vote to end capitalism and democracy in this country. When are these mutts going to turn off Oprah and start using what little brains God gave them?

The Ratter's Strike

So the ratters have gone on strike. They catch the wood rats that live on the ivy and brush-covered hillside that forms part of our backyard and then drop them, live, in the house and coolly walk away. Sometimes there is a rat scurrying around for days before we catch it or drive it through an open door. Sometimes we find the mangled corpse of one who was too slow to get away. But, as you can see from the photo, these ratters are striking with no end in sight.
We've offered them a higher-quality cat food (no more on-sale cheapie brands) and promised to scratch them behind their ears for a set amount of time but I think they sense our weakness.
But then there are the other Ratters, AKA the Writers Guild of America. Some of their work is visible in the adjoining photo. These geniuses have walked out because they want a bigger cut of the revenues. They have, by their action, put thousands of people on film crews and technical services, people who have no hope of ever getting residuals, out of work. That isnt any reason for them not to go on strike but it is interesting that this group of very rich liberals dont mind hurting the workers to press their demands for more money. This is also a symptom of people not being able to see reality very clearly. Most network TV shows are marginal profit makers. Most feature films lose money. Both are produced by giant corporations and are a tiny portion of their revenues. Corporations which can stand a strike easily. The public is watching DVD's, You-Tube, FaceBook, surfing the web, playing video games and watching home videos of themselves having sex with their spouse. Some people even have taken the radical step of reading a book. There are plenty of alternatives to the tripe these hacks spew out. This strike is a symptom of the ongoing collapse of network TV.
But let me offer a simple compromise. Give the writers a cut of the profits but bill them for the loses. If they're going to write 'Lions For Lambs' or 'Syriana' they ought to pay when they flop. Let these Marxist windbags stand naked in the hurricane of Capitalism!
And to the Kitties. Get that rat out from under the TV cabinet and we're willing to put a can of tuna on the table.

Victory Incarnate!

Hillary's stonewalling evasions and mercurial, soulless self-positionings have been going on since her first run for the U.S. Senate from New York, a state she had never lived in and knew virtually nothing about. The liberal Northeastern media were criminally complicit in enabling her queenlike, content-free "listening tour," where she took no hard questions and where her staff and security people (including her government-supplied Secret Service detail) staged events stocked with vetted sympathizers, and where they ensured that no protesters would ever come within camera range.
Camille Paglia http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2007/11/14/hillary/

So upset am I at the surging Republican liberals Mike Huckster-bee and Mutt Romney that I have decided to try out as a volunteer at the Clinton Campaign, you know, like a reporter for the Washington Compost or a street vendor in Chinatown. So, with that in mind, I'm here to announce Mrs. Clinton's amazing Victory in tomorrow's debate. She will deftly turn the tables on her gang of testosterone-mad adversaries (giggle! balless would be more accurate) with wit and charm and set the fluttering hearts of the worried pols in the party at rest. The Comeback Queen! Wolf will behave, of course, not wanting to join Tim Russert drinking cheap wine behind the dumpster at the liquor store as he bemoans his eviction from mainstream media paradise. The other spineless weenies that claim they want to be considered from the Democratic nomination will show their usual gormlessness and run about in circles, bumping into one another to the delight of all. The Dumbest Man In The Senate (Joe Biden) will make a heartfelt plea for party unity, and one of these spineless wimps will actually present some form of grovelling apology for upsetting the apple cart the last time. The usual laughs will be provided by comedy-candidate Dennis Kook-Sin-Itch as he explains his wonderful foreign policy ideas. Stubby little straight-man Richardson (the one most likely to apologize to Her Ladyship) will mumble his usual sub-audible nonsense. John Edwards will spout the 1960's cliches he stole from Lydon Johnson and opine that even now, with the Al Qaeda troops that the Democrats support in Iraq facing extinction, its still not too late to achieve the defeat of the hated US Military by electing one of the fine candidates present on this stage.
But it wont matter. The night will belong to Her Royal Thighness. The media probably have their glowing stories written already (in fact the New York Slime's front page extravaganza was faxed over from the Clinton Campaign this morning). The Networks are practicing their 'Hosannas' as we speak (because CBS' writing staff has gone on strike with the WGA they have been temporarily replaced by 'volunteers' sent over from from the Clinton Campaign, ensuring that the coverage will not change in any way). So lets all get our hankies out and be ready to weep with joy at the sensational return of The Champ!
