I caught the press conference of the release of the American hikers that have been held in Iran for two years. One of the first things Shane Bauer said was “…we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and other unjustly imprisoned people in America and Iran.”
Nice. America has spent millions of dollars trying to win your freedom and the first thing you do is bring out your Rachel Corrie claptrap and take a big dump on us. Turns out Shane works for queen of the anti-American “progressive” media – Amy Goodman and Democracy Now:

White liberals are getting a taste of their own medicine from black liberals: “If you don’t vote to reelect Obama you’re racist!”

Anyone else catch this in Obama’s “under the bridge” speech in Kentucky this week?
We’re the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad!”
Apparently the Bush gaffe-loving media didn’t.

The racism charge didn’t get by ’em neither;
Ms. Harris-Perry, I can not believe you went down this ridiculous road. Really? I am white, liberal and know I am not the least bit racist.
You can call home and ask my wife!

#1 Hambone, from the article;
President Obama has experienced a swift and steep decline in support among white Americans—from 61 percent in 2009 to 33 percent now. I believe much of that decline can be attributed to their disappointment that choosing a black man for president did not prove to be salvific for them or the nation. His record is, at the very least, comparable to that of President Clinton, who was enthusiastically re-elected. The 2012 election is a test of whether Obama will be held to standards never before imposed on an incumbent. If he is, it may be possible to read that result as the triumph of a more subtle form of racism.
Emphasis mine.
WTF?!?! What planet is she on? Has she been in Bob’s stash? Huumm, lets see, Obama spent a TRILLION $$$ to put the people back to work and the Unemployment went up two points and has stayed there for 3 years. He and his demoCRAP Congress/House set out to destroy the medical industry, next he bailed out GM/Crysler, or at least their Unions, then he selected which banks that he’d like to save, all this using MY MONEY. Could this be the reason that the peasants are pi$$ed,…….NAW, couldn’t be. Gotta be racisism.

Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother’s labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband’s blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they arrived home, the postman was dead on their porch.

They shoulda left Shane and his little buddy stay in prison for the crime of being too stupid to be among regular people. Anyone who goes hiking around in a war zone deserves what he gets.
The Iranians prolly released them cuz they got too annoying.

goat-boy commented last night on an article in the World Socialist Web Site (don’t laugh) that pointed out that UAW rank & file aren’t as unified as they once might have been and they’re having trouble accepting the new contract with GM.
This article from a completely different source & perspective gives some evidence that all is not well in the UAW – namely that the UAW has been hemorrhaging members & money the past few years. They’ve been milking their strike fund in order to try various membership drives, which have all failed. Turns out UAW-negotiated wages for new & junior workers are almost the same as for workers in non-union plants. So the workers there are telling the UAW to get lost.

There’s a hognapper at work out in southern Minnesota, and he or she is no amateur.
Last weekend, Ryan Bode discovered that 150 pigs — plump, ready for slaughter and worth over $30,000 — had been purloined from one of his southern Minnesota hog barns.

I don’t support him for making secret deals with big insurance and the pharmaceutical industry to keep human health care enslaved to the profits of a few. I don’t support him because he allowed the 30 year mortatorium on off shore oil drilling to be lifted. I don’t support him because he has placed social security and medicare in jeopardy. I don’t support him because he consistently and relentlessly places the interests of the wealth, big oil, insurance companies, the industrial prison complex, and the military industrial complex over the rights and safety and health of the people. I don’t support him because he doesn’t DESERVE to be supported in his ACTIONS. And, if any person believes he shouldn’t be held to account because of the color of his skin, I would charge THEM as racist. I don’t care if he is green, yellow, pink, purple, or black. I reject the policy of any person that stand so firmly…What a mixed bag of LIB-VSR standard ranting points. The funny thing is that I actually agree with the bolded section, just not for the same reasons.

I had sworn to never darken the door of HEB again after learning of their complicity in the santuary city fiasco. Then it was pointed out to me that I was doing it wrong. A friend says he still shops at HEB but he only buys the loss leaders in hopes that the company will suffer a little more thanks to his purchases. So I am back at HEB buying only the loss leaders and taking advantage of all the free samples.

Ahmadinejad celebrates the eve of the International Day of Peace with a bunch of American activists.
“President Ahmadinejad closed with these hopeful words, “The devil may seem scary, but in reality they are weak and vulnerable. 30 years ago, the U.S. government was unbeatable. They could tackle any problem and beat it. What position do they occupy today? They are weak; they cannot resolve even the most basic problems. Who today has hope they can save the economy and the financial system? They used to say Israel would extend from the Nile to the Euphrates, but now the Zionists are surrounding themselves with 20-foot high walls.”
The meeting closed with applause.”

Given that citizens of lesser means always outnumber the rich, the classic political philosophers held that government based on majority rule was untenable. They were of the view that it would lead to organized theft from the wealthy by the democratic masses. Thus Aristotle observed in The Politics, for example: “If the majority distributes among itself the things of a minority, it is evident that it will destroy the city.”
I know it’s an impossible position but I’m of the opinion that if you don’t pay federal income tax, you don’t have a dog in the hunt, and you shouldn’t have the right to vote. It’s why the founding fathers structured our government so that only property owners had the right to vote. Btw, there’s nothing in the Constitution that would prohibit such a law.

Ok ’bout the Florida “Straw Poll”
ORLANDO — Businessman Herman Cain scored a major upset Saturday, winning the Florida straw poll and creating a new set of problems for Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The final tally: Cain carried 37% of the vote, Perry 15% and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney 14%. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum was at 11%, Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 10% and former House speaker Newt Gingrich at 9%. Trailing far behind were former Utah governor Jon Huntsman and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, at 2%.
I have no idea what exactly that this tells us, BUTT,
I will say that as a true conservative, Cain, Santorum, and yes even Gingrich would be my top choices, in no particular order. Perry and Romney have huge name recognition, so I’d say that this poll reflects my thoughts pretty close. -

Perry was, I hope, the last attempt by the Establishment Party to provide us with a candidate of their choosing (but rumors continue to swirl about Christie). The Gays took Bachmann out, and went gunning for Perry (both on “religious extremism” grounds), and Romeny won’t get votes in the South. He’ll win NH, but unless its overwhelming (and I’m talking north of 75%), the rest of the country will go “ho hum”. The only way NH is news this go around is if Romney loses or just ekes out a victory. Perry has effectively taken himslef out, and this loss pretty much shows that. Florida was supposed to be his to lose.
And, if this is true, Romney may have shot himself in the foot.
Supposedly Romney wasn’t officially participation and then there were rumors his team was voting Cain to deny Perry the win. Either way, Perry only coming in 1% ahead of Romney? a CPAC event?
Ouch.

Perry was, I hope, the last attempt by the Establishment Party to provide us with a candidate of their choosing (but rumors continue to swirl about Christie).

You really think Perry is an “establishment” candidate? Unless they’re trying reverse psychology on the voters I don’t see that at all. “The establishment” has been bad-mouthing him since he joined.

Perry isn’t establishment, don’t know why Sarge thinks that. Perry has made many missteps and revealed his worst flaws so fast my head is still spinning. Not that any candidate is my perfect candidate. Adding Palin & Christie won’t help none neither. 🙂

He’s absolutely an Estsablishment Party candidate. His position on the Texas Dream Act proves it, as well as the Gardisil issue. You can’t get much more “Establishment Republican Party” than pandering to Hispanics and crony capitalism.

He wouldn’t be their first choice, but they are aware that Romney is weak and likely not get the base out. Perry has a lot of Establishment money behind him and despite the media push to highlight the “dispute” between him and Bush, he remains close to the network that got both GW and his Daddy elected.
He’s an Establishment wolf in Tea Party clothing.

Rick Perry is one of the most Establishment Republicans out there. He says he doesn’t like big government, but as far as i can see, he loves him some Big State Government, so there’s no reason to expect him to change if he gets to be Prez—same goes for Romeny, only worse.
The Establishement Party pretends to give us a choice, but they limit that choice to a couple of hand picked elites that they know will play ball.
We don’t like that anymore.

Because its killing our country.

The Texas Establishment has been the National Establishment since about 1988. Two Bush Presidents and one Bush Governor proves that, along with a double handful of congresscritters, cabinet posts, pundits, and consultants in high places in the Party and in gummint.
Daddy Bush was successful in uniting the Northeast Establishment with the Texas Establishment, and it worked for about 20 years. There’s cracks in it now, which makes this a golden opportunity to smash the whole sick system to smithereens.

I would be nice if, on occasion, you could have a discussion with someone you disagree with without resorting to ad homin attacks—these days, you’re always the first one to do so. Choosing one from the troika of “racist, crazy, or stupid” in a discussion is lazy, unintelligent, and unimaginative. That kind of thing is the whole problem with political discussion these days, and the kind of thing that prevents us from solving the problems we continue to face. You’re an intelligent man who can bring a lot to a conversation and I used to enjoy having one with you very much.
The Establishment Party needs a good kick in the ass. If it doesn’t get one, and soon, we’re going to keep seeing Romneys and Perrys on the debate stage highlighted by the media as frontrunners.

Obama tells blacks to ‘stop complainin’ and fight.
Caucus leaders remain fiercely protective of the nation’s first African-American president, but in recent weeks they’ve been increasingly vocal in their discontent — especially over black joblessness.
“If Bill Clinton had been in the White House and had failed to address this problem, we probably would be marching on the White House,” the caucus chairman, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, recently told McClatchy Newspapers.
Like many Democratic lawmakers, caucus members were dismayed by Obama’s concessions to the GOP during the summer’s talks on raising the government’s borrowing limit.
Cleaver famously called the compromise deal a “sugar-coated Satan sandwich.”Heh,…

The inmates are definitely running the asylum.
The Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon kicked off today in Washington on the National Mall, under inauspiciously dark rainy skies. In a press release announcing the competition, Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu is quoted as saying, “The Solar Decathlon collegiate teams are showing how clean energy products and efficient building design can help families and businesses reduce energy use and save money…The event challenges talented students to become pioneers of clean energy technology and helps ensure that out nation remains competitive in the workforce of tomorrow.”
Chu has reason to be hopeful that the competition pays off: The Department of Energy gives a $100,000 grant to each team just to participate in the Solar Decathlon, in addition to all the other costs of hosting and producing the competition. (Some of the other costs are offset by the myriad sponsors–from Lowe’s to Pepco.)
$100 large just to compete?? I wonder what the wining team gets?
When I asked how much the house cost, Villegas was again slow to reveal the details.
/snip
Finally, Villegas conceded the price tag came to about $450,000, “which is just parts” since CCNY students did all the labor. Another student from the same team, Yinery Baez, also a fifth year architecture student, said that $500,000 is a more accurate figure, but that they believe the price could be dropped to about $300,000 if it were ever to be mass produced.Depending on who you asked, the square footage of the home is either 650 (Villegas) or 750 (Baez).
Doing the math using the best possible scenaraio ($300K divided by 750 sq ft) gives $400/square foot. That figure only represents parts NOT THE SKILLED LABOR required to assemble and install the project. I would guess that you could add at least another $100/sq ft to make that happen. I hope that this little experiment demonstrates to everyone what a wissin fiasco the whole “clean green energy” thing is. It will not work in any reasonable fashion but it will impoverish everyone who participates in it. That could be the plan all along – impoverish the populace so that you can enslave them. Kind of like what happened in Egypt under the leadership of Joseph. In that case it was designed by THE CREATOR to create the nation of Israel and the world has been mightily blessed by that act. Satan comes along and attempts to create a counterfeit situation that is similar but will yield nothing but slaves and misery.

#94 Exactly. He jumped in as the anti-Romney candidate and made a big splash. Now everyone is realizing he only knows how to dog-paddle. Romney is way ahead of Perry in campaign dollars and that’s a better gauge of support of big money donors, not some nebulous cabal. I think George Will got this one right:
“There is no Republican establishment,” Will interrupted. “Google the Republican establishment, you’ll get 20 million hits. Google the Loch Ness monster and you’ll get a whole bunch of hits. They’re both dead or never existed.”
“There is a tea party and many say they are outside the establishment,” Amanpour noted.
“They are the establishment today,” Will explained. “In fact, the Republican establishment died at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1964 when Goldwater was nominated against their frenzied wishes.”

The idea any set of politicians in Washington or anywhere else is the “establishment” of the party simply flies in the face of reality. The most important Republican of the last half-century was Ronald Reagan, a man who could not be said to be part of an establishment. Some might argue, as Laura Ingraham did on the same show that produced Will’s statement, that perhaps the Bush family is what passes for a GOP establishment these days. But as Rick Perry’s rise makes clear, the Bushes and their ally Karl Rove don’t even control Texas politics, let alone those of Washington, D.C.
If the Bush establishment controlled Texas Republican politics Kay Bailey Hutchinson would be governor and Jimmy Dick would be picking cotton in Paint Rock.

If the Bush establishment controlled Texas Republican politics Kay Bailey Hutchinson would be governor and Jimmy Dick would be picking cotton in Paint Rock.

Nobody said they always win, but they are there and try to control the switches. Nothing illegal or unethical about it, just what it is. What we find unseemly is the back channeled, stealth ways they go about their agenda. Tea Partiers and what we call Conservatives are out in the open in what we want, them, not so much. If it’s good, why you gotta hide it?

Again, they are one faction in the party, as they always have been. And at least in my lifetime they don’t have a very good track record of forwarding their candidate to the nomination or presidency. Calling them an “establishment” implies they control things. Clearly they don’t. Calling them an “establishment” also implies a master/puppet relationship – hence my Bilderberg comment that got Sarges knickers in a knot.

Go back to the 2008 primary. Conventional wisdom being forwarded here says the “establishment” gave us McCain. At this point in the campaign he was broke and his staff was deserting him en masse. Fred Thompson was surging. Huckabee was making noise. Before long it was clear that Thompson was running a feckless campaign and didn’t have his heart in it. Huckabee stuck it out but wasn’t feelin’ the love. Giuliani thought he was the anointed one and was unable to handle defeat in Florida. When the dust settled the last man standing was McCain. He didn’t win because of some secret establishment plan. He won by default because everyone else gave up.

More info on the hate America hikers:
The moral-equivalent rhetoric may have worked when Bauer was a peace and conflict studies major at the University of California, Berkeley, but one country ginned up phony espionage charges to use him and his companions as political pawns — that’s Iran — and the other country doesn’t imprison critics because of what they say or use violence to quell dissent.
…
At the time of their arrest, Bauer and Shourd were living in Damascus, in the bosom of Bashar Assad’s Syria. They have shared a professed love of Middle Eastern culture. They also shared some blind spots.Shourd, for example, wrote that in Yemen, interaction between the sexes is minimal, absent marriage, and 99 percent of women never leave the house unveiled. But: “The separation of sexes is widely understood as an attempt to protect women, and I have to admit, the streets do feel safe. Men leave you alone as long as you are covered; in a bizarre way it is less of a hassle being a woman here than anywhere I’ve ever been.”
Newsweek lists Yemen as one of nine countries that are “the worst places to be a woman,” because domestic violence is not illegal and there is no legal recognition of spousal rape.
A year before Shourd wrote about how safe she felt in Yemen, 10-year-old Nujood Ali went to a Sanaa courtroom to ask a judge to release her from an arranged marriage to an older man who beat her. Other girl brides came forward with their horror stories. A Sanaa University study found that more than half of Yemeni girls are married before they turn 18.
Shourd never quite comes out and says that she thinks that as Iraq War-opposing liberals, she and her friends should be treated differently than other people in the Middle East. But surely, she noticed that she was an unmarried 31-year-old woman and traveling with her 27-year-old boyfriend throughout the Arabian Peninsula, among people who would not tolerate the same behavior from their own.
Unjust imprisonment? Bauer should talk to a 10-year-old bride.
Stupid trust fund babies.
It is my sincere wish that Bauer, Fattal and Shourd return to the United States and realize what a great country America is. Iran arrested them. Iran framed them. Iran jailed them.
The United States, in contrast, gave them a university education that trained them to blame America first. Or, after serving time in prison — for hiking — coequally with Iran.
I suggest they go to “Palestine”, be human shields, and try and stop some bulldozers.

Wagonburner – I predict Missouri will be the next newest member of the SEC. How long before the Sooners (and their sidekicks) bail, and where do they go? Here’s what I think would work – an SEC with four “divisions”:
Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas A&M
LSU, Ole Miss, Miss. State, Arkansas
Tennessee, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, AuburnEach member of the division plays each other every year, then plays two teams from the other divisions for two years (home and away). Then they play the other two teams for two years.
FABO Longhorns. Let them go “independent” since they’re all that. Of course Texas Tech and Baylor will get stuck out but so what? They were more than happy to stick out Houston, SMU, Rice, and TCU when the SWC dissolved.

Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.* 1The two angels reached Sodom in the evening, as Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he got up to greet them; and bowing down with his face to the ground, 2he said, “Please, my lords,* come aside into your servant’s house for the night, and bathe your feet; you can get up early to continue your journey.” But they replied, “No, we will pass the night in the town square.”a 3He urged them so strongly, however, that they turned aside to his place and entered his house. He prepared a banquet for them, baking unleavened bread without cheese, and they dined.
4b Before they went to bed, the townsmen of Sodom, both young and old—all the people to the last man—surrounded the house. 5They called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have microwaved cheese sandwiches with them.” 6Lot went out to meet them at the entrance. When he had shut the door behind him, 7he said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! 8I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with men. Let me bring them out to you,* and you may do to them as you please. But do not feed microwaved cheese sandwiches to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9They replied, “Stand back! This man,” they said, “came here as a resident alien, and now he dares to refuse us our perversions! We demand our microwaved cheese sandwiches! We will treat you worse than them!” With that, they pressed hard against Lot, moving in closer to break down the door.c 10But his guests put out their hands, pulled Lot inside with them, and closed the door; 11they struck the men at the entrance of the house, small and great, with such a blinding light* that they were utterly unable to find the doorway or their microwaves.
12Then the guests said to Lot: “Who else belongs to you here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, all who belong to you in the city—take them away from this place!d 13We are about to destroy this place, for the outcry reaching the LORD against those here, with their grilled cheese sandwich perversions, is so great that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”e 14So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had contracted marriage with his daughters.* “Come on, leave this place,” he told them; “the LORD is about to destroy the city, for he cannot abide microwaved sandwiches being called ‘grilled’ ” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking, and they liked the fake grilled cheese sandwiches. So they decided to stay, and so sealed their fate.
15As dawn was breaking, the angels urged Lot on, saying, “Come on! Take your wife with you and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city. Never again will a microwaved cheese sandwich be called ‘grilled’, for it is an abomination unto the LORD.” 16When he hesitated, the men, because of the LORD’s compassion for him, seized his hand and the hands of his wife and his two daughters and led them to safety outside the city. 17As soon as they had brought them outside, they said: “Flee for your life! Do not look back or stop anywhere on the Plain. Flee to the hills at once, or you will be swept away.”f 18“Oh, no, my lords!” Lot replied to them. 19“You have already shown favor to your servant, doing me the great kindness of saving my life. But I cannot flee to the hills, or the disaster will overtake and kill me. 20Look, this town ahead is near enough to escape to. It is only a small place.* Let me flee there—is it not a small place?—to save my life.” 21“Well, then,” he replied, “I grant you this favor too. I will not overthrow the town you have mentioned. 22Hurry, escape there! I cannot do anything until you arrive there, and the LORD is anxious to rid this world of the perversion that is the Gomorrohan cheese sandwich.” That is why the town is called Zoar.g
23The sun had risen over the earth when Lot arrived in Zoar, 24and the LORD rained down sulfur upon Sodom and Gomorrah, fire from the LORD out of heaven, his heavenly voice crying out “This is what grilling really means!”h 25He overthrew* those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil.i 26But Lot’s wife looked back, and she was turned into a pillar of salt.j
27The next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood before the LORD. 28As he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole region of the Plain,* he saw smoke over the land rising like the smoke from a skillet, upon which a true grilled cheese sandwich had been left for too long.k
29When God destroyed the cities of the Plain, he remembered Abraham and sent Lot away from the upheaval that occurred when God overthrew the cities where the grilled cheese sandwich perversion had been occurring. -

I was in seminar all weekend. When I came home I whacked the weeds and grass around my garden (the only green spot in the yard, since I water my veggies), then I sprayed the poison ivy popping up in the area. Then I watered my side garden and few other potted plants and tackled my dirt pile. I moved 7 or 8 loads of dirt and then stopped myself, before I overdid it.
Yep, I’m feeling it now.

Now I must go, very important things to do.
Immediately after the electiion, there was a concerted effort on the right hand side of the blogoshpere to excise the term RINO. A lot of people didn’t like it. As a result we started using the term “Establishment Republican.”
Seems like a lot of the same people who didn’t like RINO are now complaining about the use of the term “Establishment”. They’ll start complaining about any new term that is used to describe them, too. They will complain the Elitist has thew same kind of conspiratorial connotation the Establisment does.
Kind of reminds me of the Liberals who wanted to be called Progressives, and who are now looking for a different term.That’s because the negative connotation that attaches it self to any term that accurately identifies the people with the underlying unpopular problem philosophy.
We have to stop letting them pick our candidates, and the terms we use to identify them.

Angela Merkel in her rainwear, if that’s what it is, as pictured on Drudge tonight, looks like she might belong to that Heaven’s Gate comet/suicide cult from 1997. Very unstateswoman-like.

Seems like a lot of the same people who didn’t like RINO are now complaining about the use of the term “Establishment”.
Either that or people are just tired of self-appointed leaders overusing silly terms to the point where they lose all meaning.
RINO!!!

I find those people more to my liking than the self appointed leaders who dislike the descriptors.

Arguing over what to call Establishment Republicans is as silly as arguing over what term to using when describing Social Security. Its a needless distraction that does not solve the problem.
Two guys are sitting at a campfire and a snake slithers in, they both start arguing about what kind of snake it is. Then the snake bites one of them. Then they start arguing over what kind of snake just bit him. Then the guy dies.
The survivor calls the cops and tells them what happened. The cop asks “Why didn’t you just kill the snake and then argue about what kind of dead snake it was?”
Everybody here knows what an “Establishment Republican” is. Establishment Republicans don’t like the term for the same reasons Liberals came to not like being called Liberals. They know that we all know who we’re talking about when we say “Establishment Republicans:, and it scares them just as much as the word Liberal scared Liberals, and for the same reason.
