The hypocrisy of the American left is on full display in the heart of America, as the teachers’ union in Wisconsin continues to show how it will use any tactic, no matter how reprehensible, to try and get its way. Threats, intimidation, violent imagery and inflammatory rhetoric – all of the sorts of tactics that the left and the mainstream media routinely accuse conservatives of using – are on full display in Madison. But, rather than condemning such behavior, left wing champions from Barack Obama to Michael Moore are falling over themselves to show solidarity with the teachers’ union.
Protesters carried signs likening Wisconsin governor Scott Walker to Adolf Hitler and Hosni Mubarak. One protester carried a placard that posed the question “why do Republicans hate people?” while others likened Walker’s budget cutting efforts to rape. He was called a dictator by some and an image of the governor was overlaid with crosshairs by at least one protestor. A rent-a-mob marched on the governor’s home. None of this behavior seems to bother leaders on the left, no more than the same kind of extremist rhetoric and actions concerned them when the left directed it towards George W. Bush for the better part of eight years.
#131 Adee Drudge once ran a photo of Pelosi soon after she bacame “Madam Speaker”. It was a nutty shot that showed her making the O-K sign with her hand, and in the center of the thumb-to-forefinger circle was one of her eyes. The hand was a bit blurred but the eye was totally in focus. It was a freakish… Read more »
Mharper42, Actually Nancy Pelosi is one of the alien Visitors featured in the tv series. Y’all know San Francisco is a hotbed of strange things/people, so why should it not be Area 51.5? 🙂 Good morning all Hamsters.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the striker’s photo Drudge is running over the headline
“PELOSI BACKS PROTESTERS: ‘I STAND IN SOLIDARITY’… ”
If that shrieking woman is a teacher, I’d hate to be in her class. She looks like she should have a reptilian tongue coming out of that gaping mouth.
I see the kryptonite exerted its evil influence overnight…
Wake up, Hamsters!
Dunno about kryptonite, but Headcase’s reaction to butter is pretty much out of this world. The horror….
Saw most of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s press conference this evenning on FNC. He has cojones and took care of business without hesitation. The media types were pretty much put in their place pronto. Bet if he and Obama ever go face to face, Obama will blink fast and start nonsense rambling when he has no TOTUS. Even with TOTUS… Read more »
Shannon;
Sounds like you’re already living in a bong.
I just did a little research. Looks like there was initial division amongst LDS leadership regarding Prohibition but later morphed into a unified effort to support it. This especially came true after a “local option” was passed wgich allowed local communities to vote yea or nea regarding Prohibition. This happened around 1917. Chursh leaders did encourage its memebers to vote… Read more »
Or how about this Drudge headline:
You’re DAYAAM right it is a disparaging term!
“headshaker was Superman”
Bobby mistaken for Jesus.
I give in (up?).
Plz pass the bong.
Have her read your posts here. That’ll straighten her up real quick. 😉
Well ole Dave is checking in from the old farm house in Alabama, left Houston @ 6 AM and rolled into the yard about 4 PM. It was about 73 when I got here but it was a little chilly in the house so I put some stove-wood in the wood heater and dang it’s getting warm, I had to… Read more »
#112 Maybe I can defuse the kryptonite with Drudge’s link to the hummingbird spybot: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-02-robot-hummingbird-flight-video.html The video doesn’t have many closeups but when you see the flying shape outlined against the building the motion does look fairly convincing. Wonder why they chose the hummingbird as a model since I can’t think of any other birds that hover that way —… Read more »

On my way out, one of the staff mentioned that a couple of the old ladies in the dining room mistook me for Jesus.

Wow, some people just can’t move forward. And I thought we had made so much progress in the past year.
Have a nice weekend everyone!
JIm Hoft, of Gatewaypundit, has a new name for the fugitive Democratic senators who are now in the Chicago area.
Flee-baggers !
I guess we know who wants to shut down the government.
Today Wisconsin!
Tomorrow, the World!!!!!
FIFY
Not only do we have a President who is demagoguing the events in Wisconsin and refusing to deal seriously with the Federal budget, the Democrat Senators in Wisconsin are in hiding and prepared to remain so for ‘weeks’.
When the going gets tough, the Democrats leave.
I’m really beginning to like John Boehner. “The President of the United States has a unique opportunity and responsibility to lead this nation. President Obama has acknowledged the challenges we face, but – thus far – he has done nothing to offer solutions. Now, worse, his political organization is colluding with special-interest allies across the country to demagogue reform-minded governors… Read more »

When you bolted with a washer & dryer — (was this a divorce?) — which type of bolt was it? A sudden swift dash? Or did you spring away suddenly?
Hey, I just noticed I got #100! Tim will be so jealous.

I bolted once. But I took the washer and dryer with me.

If that’s the cause, then her seeds would bolt.
Imminent demise is the default state of her vegetable plants.
#88 Pyro
Actually, horticulturally, those competing definitions are a draw! A plant that produces flowers or seeds prematurely is doing that in response to imminent demise…
I can’t help it. I find smart, geeky, skeptical gals like Rebecca Watson attractive.
HEY! It was not “slain”! It had reached the end of hits normal life cycle (or thereabouts). I merely took it for use before it became useless. I wouldn’t quite call it euthanasia. Let’s see, it would be possibly, hmmm….hmmm….ah, yes! A premature victim of Obamacare!

Bolt –
verb (used without object)
22. to make a sudden, swift dash, run, flight, or escape; spring away suddenly: The rabbit bolted into its burrow.
23. to break away, as from one’s political party.
24. to eat hurriedly or without chewing.
25. Horticulture . to produce flowers or seeds prematurely.
Ah, I was 22, you are 25…
As if we needed a sign that Gov. Walker is on the right side of things.
Yep, probably.
I was thinking she had found a way to thread vegetation. Doesn’t seem like that would be a very sturdy way to fasten something.
