Open Comments – Lame Duck or Sitting Duck?

I don’t know if Wagonburner will be beating me to the punch again this morning, but I’ve been listening to the radio this morning….

The “lame duck” Congress begins sitting this afternoon. Questions that flow through my fertile mind:
1) What are they sitting on?
2) What eggs will they try to lay before we say ‘buh-bye’?
3) Does Nancy Pelosi actually believe her own hype? “I’m not the reason we lost.” I mean, really?

And then there’s us, the great unwashed (as perky Katie says):

1) What are we in for from these lame ducks?
2) Can we stop them from inflicting more damage?
3) When does duck hunting season start?
And I’d like any good duck recipes, if you have one!

    Turn up the heat. A do nothing congress is a good congress. Fight every thing they throw up. No funding bills have been passed yet, and I would oppose even continuing resolutions – although that’s unrealistic to expect. Not one penny until Obamacare is overturned, burned at the stake, hung, drawn and quartered, and buried. Go ahead and concede Afghanistan on Obama’s watch and get out of there if we are not going to try to win. Obviously I’m delusional this morning since I know realistically there will no relief whatsoever until a few of the new people show up, and you can bet your last nickle right now the surviving Dems and Reps are working together to try to keep the new guys (and girls) from ever establishing a foothold.

    My position is simply this – whatever they try to do, just raise heck, because no matter how it may appear, you’d better believe that both sides are up to no good. As Nancy Reagan used to say – just say no.

    YOUR ACTIVISM YESTERDAY MADE A DIFFERENCE!

    PELOSI HAS POSTPONED AMNESTY VOTE AT LEAST UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING

    Earlier this week U.S. House Speaker Pelosi announced she hoped to bring up the DREAM Act amnesty to a vote in the first week of the Lame Duck session (next week).

    We asked you to start pounding congressional offices with faxes Thursday afternoon and, first thing Friday, we asked you to ring the phones off the hook all day in protest of any amnesty activity.

    You have already sent more than 150,000 faxes of protest into the congressional offices.

    (If you haven’t sent your faxes yet, please go to your NumbersUSA Action Board and send them.)

    Today, House Democratic leaders announced that they aren’t going to deal with the amnesty next week. They will be out of town for Thanksgiving the week after that. So, we are now fighting to prohibit the vote the first week of December when Congress returns.

    Every day (and especially week) that we delay the vote, the less likely the amnesty will get a hearing. There are at most three weeks left in which it can be raised after Thanksgiving. It still is a real danger. But Congress also has some major business it absolutely has to handle before Christmas.

    Your job is to continue to make the amnesty seem so controversial that your 3 Members of Congress will be telling their leaders that they don’t want the amnesty brought up as a vote.

    As we have beaten every amnesty in every year starting in 2001, we have learned that it is always easier when the process gets dragged out. The announcement of delay today is a very good sign.

    THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR IN THE CURRENT AMNESTY CRISIS.

    THE AMNESTY LEADERS KNOW THAT THIS LAME DUCK SESSION IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHANCE THEY HAVE FOR AT LEAST TWO MORE YEARS. THE AMERICAN VOTERS LAST WEEK CHOSE A NEW CONGRESS THAT IS STRONGLY ANTI-AMNESTY.

    If you’re ever in McAlester OK, consider stopping by Bob’s diner for lunch. But if you’re a nutjob, anti-patriotic, gay-hating crew of ignorant xenophobes, don’t bother.

    Over 1000 citizens came out (so to speak) to “welcome” Phred Felps and Co., who were there to protest a soldier’s funeral. I think they went too far when someone decided to slash 2 tires on their vehicle, but couldn’t help but chuckle when no auto shop in town would do business with them either.

    3) When does duck hunting season start?
    And I’d like any good duck recipes, if you have one!

    We will assume that recipe (s) of which you are requesting are that of actual waterfowl and not that foul unclean crap that hangs out in DC.
    Take the cleaned (no feathers, guts, feet or head) wild duck and dust with whole wheat flour seasoned with garlic salt and cayenne pepper, sear in olive oil in a dutch oven browning as much of the bird as possible; DO NOT BURN THE STUFF IN THE BOTTOM OF THE POT. Remove the bird and add onions cut about the size of a 50 cent piece and deglaze the pot; that means get all the good stuff off the bottom which is why you do not burn it. Add some white wine and reduce down, add the bird back to the pot with some more cut onions, some chopped celery and have some carrots standing by. Add water (chicken stock is better) to cover about 2/3 of the bird(s) and simmer for a while (an hour or so) with the lid on. About 20 minutes before you turn off the heat add the carrots. Check on the bird periodically to make sure that the liquid level does not get too low but that it does reduce some. You will know when it is done when the meat pulls easily off the breast. Serve with wild rice and sweet taters. Try not to hurt yourself when eating:>)

    I see that Drudge has linked to a Newsweek story about the presidency being too large for one man. I see the solutions as:

    1) A co-presidency, which would require a Constitutional change, probably be rejected, and I have never seen a co-presidency work well. Not even when the Clintons were in office.

    2) Reduce the job of president. Stop doing the things that the states are supposed to do and I think that will jest ’bout take care of it.

    #8 Shooting the ducks is a whole story in itself. I think the season opens this weekend if not already open. As far as the orifices in DC goes, the 23 Senate D’s who are up for re-election in 2012 are probably more nervous than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs:>)

    #10 TT: Your solution is on target; ceptin that it needs to apply to the other 2 branches as well; get back to the Feds only doing what the constitution specifically allows them to do. The results would be:
    1) massive unemployment for federal beauro-turds
    2) big time tax cuts
    3) huge budget surpluses with which to reduce, then eliminate the national debt
    4) more big time tax cuts and greater prosperity for we citizens
    5) more money flowing into valid charities
    6) the darned near extinction of the D party

    How could anybody not want the above??

    On a more positive note… I spent Friday and Saturday giving of my time. Friday I took off and after meeting my mother over at ST’s place of business for some business, and a quick lunch. I spent Friday assisting in the setup of the facilities for our TKD tournament. Saturday I got up and drove with the family back up to the Woodlands for the tournament, I competed at 9AM, the kiddos competed later in the day, and then spend the remainder of the day as an official, both judging adults and junior competators, as well as being coach and buddy to about 60 students from the acadmey that I train/teach at. After which I took the family out to dinner at a very nice little Itialian place near by. So overall I had the sort of weekend that I would hope most people would like to be a part of. Family and friends, and a little bit of community service.

    The best rewards i got on Saturday were not from my competition but from the hugs and thanks I got from my kids, as well as several of the senior instructors thanking me for my efforts and all the work I did over the course of the 2 days.

    Some White House staffers have described a “reign of terror” in the White House over continued leaks and a troika of leadership that is making decisions without any input from the president. The troika reportedly consists of First Lady Michelle Obama, presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett, and the president’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, who resides in the White House.

    Well I posted before I finished reading,…DUH

    Vice President Biden, under intense pressure from some Democratic Party officials and Cabinet members to invoke Article 25, Section 4 of the Constitution and have Obama temporarily or permanently removed as president because of his mental incapacity to fulfill his constitutional oath as president is reluctant to take such drastic action. Biden feels that the country would “become unglued” after such action and he doesn’t want to be the one who would be responsible for “picking up the pieces,” according to a source who works within Biden’s office.

    MAN!! Be sure to read the whole thing.

    Let’s just consider the future should the foul “O” be declared incompetent and Joe “The Dip-Shit” Biden takes over. The ex-CIA guys are climbing all over the world looking for the smoking gun(s) that the foul “O” is not legal occupant for the Whitehouse in addition to the evidence they have “in house”. When the hammer falls and he is deemed incompetent and/or illegal, then every bill he signed into law becomes null and void; further, every judicial appointment he has made becomes null and void. IN fact, every official act he made as president, should he be found to be illegal, would be a separate felony. If JTD-SB then re-nominates Kagan and Sotomayor, they would then have to face re-confirmation in the senate which would not likely happen. This scat would drag on until 2012 at the least and any reasonable R would take the presidency and it is likely that most, perhaps as many as 15-18 or more of the 23 D senators up for re-election would lose their seat(s) and we would have a super majority in both houses and the whitehouse. To further this scenario, consider that the incoming Tea Party Republicans actually band together and act as the cohesive unit they were elected to be and the waste and federal BS starts to be eliminated. The D’s would have nothing to run on but the same old what can I give you today welfare pimp schpiel. The talking heads on the liberal alphabet soup networks would self immolate en masse at the reality of a genuine conservative majority controlling all three branches in the USA. When the above scenario becomes a reality, the borders will be secured, the debt/deficit will be eliminated and our constitutional republic will survive.

    Are they trying to bring up the birther thing again, without actually mentioning the words “birth certificate”?

    Meanwhile, a team of ex-CIA officers are traveling the globe assembling a dossier of documents on Obama’s past, including his education, passport, travel, and residency records. The team has scoured Kenya, Indonesia, Pakistan, and other countries collecting documents that are not already mantained in the CIA’s own files on Obama’s past. There is a possibility, according to WMR’s sources, that any “smoking gun” documents may be released while Obama is in Asia in order to elicit a public and, perhaps, irrational enough response from the president to prompt the public to begin raising questions about Obama’s suitability for office.

    Sorry folks, but my skepticism meter is vigorously bouncing because of anonymous sources and highly speculative predictions about what possibly might happen.

    Disclaimer: I’m not defending Obama and did not vote for him. I just prefer facts to fantasy.

    Are they trying to bring up the birther thing again, without actually mentioning the words “birth certificate”?

    Mine’s pegged.

    That said, a lot of what the article said has elements that match observations. I can’t see how his mother-in-law would have that much stroke; Aunt Esther might, but even that is a bit thin. I do think that there are several (many?) Democrats who would like him to go away.

    Feet met fire.

    Feet moved.

    In an abrupt reversal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday endorsed a moratorium on earmarks that GOP conservatives are seeking to send a signal that the Republican Party is serious about curbing federal spending.

    The Kentucky lawmaker announced his concession on the Senate floor, moments after the start of a lame-duck session of Congress that could stretch into mid-December. McConnell’s announcement served as recognition that his bid to retain the practice of steering money to pet projects was losing steam to an emboldened coalition of tea party-backed senators, led by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).

    We need the 3M President to serve out his term and move on to whatever global corruption scam he can attach himself to. The worst thing for America would be for something to happen to this incompetent before the end of his term. He will be voted out of office peacefully in 2012 and will become a highly footnoted piece of presidential regret in the annals of the American Presidency. He will unanimously take his place as the worst President in American history and forever be known as the most undeserving Nobel prize winner in the history of that degraded organization.

    He will unanimously take his place as the worst President in American history and forever be known as the most undeserving Nobel prize winner in the history of that degraded organization.

    And that is does this move Jimmy Carter up to #2 worst all time and second most undeserving of Nobel Prize?

    What I find highly ironic, that both times when the Democrat party has won the White House with a very left of center candidate, they end up being a complete train wreck for the party. Will they ever learn? And should the Republican’s start to use that fact in all their campaigns against even the more liberal members of congress and in local races?

    Well, it’s late afternoon and lots has happened today here on Hambone’s home and nationally. Got in my Monday good morning piece at the tag end of weekend open comments.

    That The One is acting strangely is not news to most of us here, but it likely is a shock to the average bear on the street–if they ever find out about it that is. Biden doesn’t want to pick up the pieces??? Isn’t that part of the VPs job description???

    LA Governor Jindal is relating to Hannity the odd and infuriating meetings he had with The One on the oil spill, and also the maddening bureaucratic screwups that unnecessarily delayed containing and cleaning up the oil once the LA folks devised a method the feds insisted would not work–but it did. It’s all about the One all the time, and it appears that is close to driving him around the bend. If he isn’t there already that is.

    Fire 2/3 of all bureaucrats and things will work better. And now we find out some White House staff got up to 9% raises recently, all while the unemployment rate is somewhere in the teens, depending on which state is cited. New Media, keep on spreading the word.

    At the risk of being called a racist and getting kicked off the blog, the 3M President is the nation’s first affirmative action( can’t see his college records, remember?) President. He’s Lee Brown with a Phd from Dale Carnegie. Nothing will change the fact that he’s a coked-up street thug turned community organizer from the most corrupt political environment in the nation.

    The only thing I would disagree with there is “street thug”. He ain’t tough enough to be categorized as a thug. He’s nothing more than a narcissist who was told all his life he was a prince, a spoiled brat who was doted over by a grandmother who was “afraid of black men”. He has lived his entire life in the political equivalent of Carlsbad Caverns sleeping in decades of guano laid down by the likes of Daley, Alinsky, Ayers and countless other Chicago lowlifes. He likes to swagger, thinking that gives him “street cred”, when in reality he’s a hollow Ivy Leaguer who wouldn’t even make it as a teacher’s assistant at Lone Star College. But he’s President. President of the United States of America. YCMTSU.

    Hugh Hewitt weighs in on the idea of a GOP Presidential debate at the Reagon Library. He’s right, why hand over our debates over to the Olbermann Networks.

    I discussed this topic with one of my favorite Beltway pundits, the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza, on Friday’s radio show. Cillizza gamely defended his guild, but here’s the key exchange:

    HH: OK, objectively, what would get more ratings and be more interesting, a panel of Brian Williams and John Harris and Anderson Cooper asking eight Republicans questions, or a panel of Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved — four different radio networks — asking the same people questions? What would be more interesting, Chris?

    CC: And I don’t want to sit on the fence, but I think, I mean, I think there would be two different sets of questions, potentially.

    HH: Oh, hugely.

    CC: But I don’t know that either of them would be uninteresting.

    More from Hewitt on the subject:

    If the candidates want to gain some public attention this spring, they can work with organizations like Heritage and AEI to appear jointly at forums on spending, taxes, or foreign affairs where genuine moderators as opposed to agent provocateurs ask the sort of questions that GOP primary voters want to hear answered. At a minimum, the Obama-swooning MSM should not call the shots when the debates of the 2012 cycle begin.

    As I noted in the column and in the conversation with Cillizza, there are scores of center-right reporters, bloggers and broadcast journalists who can staff the primary season panels presenting questions when they first assemble. And the fall of 2012 should be the time when the left masquerading as objective journalists lose their monopoly as presidential debate referees.
