RE: Happy Halloween!
Mr. Friedman,
It’s untypically chilly today in Florida despite melting icebergs, drowning polar bears, borborygymous bovines, and Lord knows what else is in store for us if we don’t elect Senator B. Hussein Obama and his running mate, Curley Joe Biden, his bumbling buffoon Vice Presidential choice, a man who gives new and nuanced meaning to one of the great nouns in the English language. That noun is boob.
Your column says, in typical Jeremiad fashion, that the glory days of $4.11 a gallon gasoline are gone. The glories of which you sang, exercise, shrunken carbon footprints, love of mass transit, hope for cars that run on rainbow soup, inter alia, might be visited on us when gas sells for $6.11 a gallon. Obviously you are used to traveling by sedan chair.
You end by saying that the best hope for all things good, pure, and clean is tax breaks for the wealthy. That is what you said, isn’t it? If these companies can expense everything in the first year how will their “fair share” portion of the tax bill be paid? What happens if, after taking all these tax breaks, and shifting the burden to those least able to pay, it the company can’t produce any vehicles? What happens if they “uncreate” all those good green jobs?
Ah! The vagaries of the marketplace.
That’s why I began this little note with the salutation Happy Halloween.
You can go to the costume party as a HORSE’S ASS because that’s what you are. It’s a sad commentary that there are more HORSES’ ASSES than there are horses’ heads. The number should always be in balance; i.e. one HORSE’S ASS per horse. The New York Times seems to have a surplus of ASSES to heads. You are the leading example.

RE: It’s déjà vu allover again!
Ms. Carlson,
Yogi Berra still lives in New Jersey. Since I’m from there I can use the quote without attribution.
8 years ago – My, my but how time flies when you’re enjoying yourself! – you said that the absentee ballots mailed by military personnel domiciled in Florida but serving overseas were “tainted”. You said that “they” [variously defined as GIs, grunts, dog faces, swabbies, wing wipers, Leathernecks, inter alia] were “tax cheats”.
It now appears that the Fairfax County, Virginia Elections Bureau is in direct violation of Federal Law by rejecting 98% - repeat – 98% of all military absentee ballots because of an alleged violation of state law. I smell ACORN. Do you?
Gentle lady, even if the ballots were in violation – note the use of the subjunctive, please – it would not matter. Federal Law trumps state law. You could look it u p.
Anyway, here is a chance to erase the blot on your escutcheon and redeem your honor by denouncing, as loudly and as publicly as possible, this outrage.
Your blood libel of 2000 can be forgiven.
It is a God awful phrase but all you need do is speak truth to power. It’s time for you to seek forgiveness from the Long Gray Line. If a further jolt is needed walk through Arlington Cemetery. Stop and read the headstones. Find out how many of them are sitting on top of “tax cheats”.
When last we corresponded I wrote something unnecessarily cruel and unmanly. I said how proud you must be of your son Tucker’s performances on TV. I humbly and abjectly apologize. I do this not in the typical modern American Liberal by prefacing it by saying “If I offended you…” It was the wrong thing to say. Please forgive me.

WHERE DO WE FIND SUCH MEN?
“WHERE DO WE FIND SUCH MEN”?
Today is the 64th anniversary of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It was the largest naval engagement in History. Salamis, Lepanto, Trafalgar, and Jutland pale in comparison to either to the numbers of ships or the number of men who fought there.
One of them, Lt. Cdr, Ernest Evans, the Captain of the Fletcher class destroyer USS Johnston [DD-557] was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. When he took command of the ship he told his crew at the commissioning ceremony that he would never sail away from danger. Further, he would sail into it. His exact words were “This is a fighting ship. I intend to be in harm’s way, and anyone who doesn’t want to go along had better get off right now”.
Douglas MacArthur said all lost battles can be explained in 2 words: “Too late”
After Waterloo, the battle that settled the map of Europe for a century, the Duke of Wellington said, “It was a damn close run thing”.
In the friction of battle mistakes are made. Tennyson said of a battle 99 years before to the day “someone had blundered”. That battle was Balaclava. The charge was the one made by the Light Brigade.
The lure of Japanese aircraft carriers pulled Admiral Halsey, a proud son of New Jersey, on his flag ship the USS New Jersey [BB-62] and her dozens of escort vessels away from the landing beaches at Leyte in the Philippines.
There is a marvelous scene in the movie Zulu where the young recruit, looking out at an advancing 4000 man strong Impi, says to the Color Sergeant, “Why us”? “Because we’re here lad. Nobody else. Just us.”
Thus, on the morning of October 25, 1944, the USS Johnston with other smaller vessels, found out what it was like to be Horatio at the bridge. Advancing at flank speed was the Japanese Center Task Force, commanded by Admiral Takeo Kurita. It consisted of 4 battleships, 8 cruisers, and 12 destroyers.
It was coming to kill the American GIs who were landing at Leyte. One of the Americans landing there was my uncle, John Lonergan. His tour of the South Pacific was simple to trace. Where MacArthur went my uncle went with him. He enlisted in 1940. The Army told him he would be home for Christmas, 1941. He got back in late 1946. I was born in 1943; my mother wrote to her baby brother that I had beautiful blond hair. He asked her not to cut it until he got home. Thanks again, Uncle John.
6 months after the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl it was routed at Midway. It changed the direction of the war. In fact, it was a battle on the same scale as Trafalgar. Maps didn’t change because of both battles. In June, 1944 the Japanese Navy air arm lost 400 planes in an afternoon. They had long since lost any hope of defeating the American Navy head to head. Their plan was to trick the American Navy into leaving the landing ships and troops unguarded. The first part of the plan worked. The carnage that the shamed Japanese Navy could have wreaked would have been enormous.
Captain Evans issued an order. “Little boys, form up on me.” He then attacked the Japanese task force. The Johnston inflicted damage far in excess of her size and firepower.
Just like the Color Sergeant said at Rorke’s Drift, “Because we’re here. Nobody else. Just us.”
By 10:30 AM she was gone. Also sunk were the USS Hoel [DD-523], the USS Roberts [DE-413], the USS Gambier Bay [CVE73], and the USS St.Lo [CVE 63]. The St. Lo was the first American ship sunk by kamikazes.
It is said that when the USS Roberts was sunk the Captain of the nearest Japanese vessel saluted her as she went down.
For reasons still unclear the remainder of the Japanese task force withdrew. John McCain’s father commanded a ship speeding to the rescue. If the Japanese had not withdrawn it would have gotten there “too late”.
My uncle John, though grievously wounded that day, lived until 2001. He would “strip his sleeve and show his scars” as Henry the Fifth told his men at Agincourt. Today is also the anniversary of that battle.
“From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered…”

Samuel Johnson & Curly Joe
October 21, 2008
“The man’s a boob and that’s an end to it.”
“Believe it, sir. A man who knows he is to be
hanged in two weeks tends to concentrate
fully on the upcoming event
Both of the above are from the Master, the original Dr. J, Samuel Johnson. The former has been altered; the latter hasn’t.
The first quote is about Senator Joseph “Curley” Biden.
I call him “Curley”, not because of his combo Chinese pig and horse hair Gorilla Glued plugs, but because it was my way of honoring “Curley”, the smartest of all the Stooges. Alas, the ninny would scratch his teeth, teeth gotten just before the ban on elephant ivory went into effect, because the organizing and leading a two car funeral is simply beyond him. He is justifiably famous for forming circular firing squads. He came by this gift naturally. He was the catcher on the javelin and shot put teams, positions that he was the only volunteer at the expensive Roman Catholic prep school he attended.
Biden is as big and blatant a boob as has ever befallen an American election.
It is not “patriotic” to pay more taxes.
President Franklin Roosevelt did not go on TV in 1929 to tell America “what happened” for several reasons. #1 – He wasn’t President. #2 – TV had not yet been invented.
It doesn’t sound as rip roaring but your copter flight in Kafiristan wasn’t forced down by gunfire. It was forced down be snow and poor visibility. I was in a gun fight. You remember the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the quarter size hole in the policeman’s chest. You never, never confuse it with snow.
He never was a “hard coal miner”. He never was a “soft coal miner”. I guarantee he does not know the difference between the two. I do.
The last time someone said “Rise and walk” successfully was when Rome ruled the world. I think the state Senator from Missouri, the one sitting involuntarily in a wheel chair is still, despite his biblical exhortations, sitting in the same wheel chair. And to think he went to a fancy Roman Catholic prep school! Didn’t anything they taught him “stick”?
His name is not Barack America. It is Barack Hussein Obama.
By the way, Senator Barack Hussein Obama is “articulate, bright, and clean”. If you said the opposite that would be false as far as I know. What the Hell is the problem?
2 years ago a sitting United States Senator used the word “macaca”. It is a term best understood by the people that Curley says control the 7/11 business in Delaware. I don’t think it means “Kill your cows”. That Senator, a man whose name is so far down the memory hole that it will soon be coming out the other side, has been in the witness protection program since.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a woman he said was more qualified than him to be Vice President, said that “Senator Barack Hussein Obama was not a Muslim as far as she knew”.
Speaking of “qualifications” to be Vice President…
1 – Born in America
2 – 35 years of age
3 – Not from the same state as the President
Congratulations! “Curley” Biden is a winner!
“Curley” is certainly is as qualified as Henry Wallace, John Sparkman, and Geraldine Fellini-Zucchini to be Vice President.
Heraclitus said “Character is destiny”.
Noah Webster said “In selecting men for public office…look to their character”.
Madison said “Character” was the most important trait to look for in any candidate for public office.
It’s bad enough that he cheated in law school. Young men do dumb things. What is particularly galling is his plagiarism in the 1988 campaign.
[It is well to note that Wee Mikey Dukakis, noted tank driver and endive spokesman, ratted Curley out on his cheating. Turnabout being fair play it should be noted that Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. – later known as Vice President Alpha Gump – returned the favor to Wee Mikey when he told the world about Willie Horton, the wondering rapist-murderer who got h is furlough to, you’ll be surprised to know, raped and murdered again, this time 400 miles away in Maryland. How is Willie Boy doing these days? Shouldn’t he be taking his Bar exam about now? Massachusetts readmitted Alger Hiss. Hell, he was only a traitor.]
What made it exponentially worse was that the English politician he chose to steal from was Labour leader Neil Kinnock. He could have chosen Pitt. He could have chosen the Iron Duke. Disraeli, Gladstone, or David Lloyd George would have been OK. Enoch Powell. Harold MacMillan. Even John Profumo or Ian Paisley. Churchill or Thatcher, never. Even he wouldn’t dare.
I was in England when I heard Kinnock damn this country in the mid-80s. I haven’t heard our country damned like that until the Pastor Wrong Wright, Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s pastor for 20 years, {Did I say 20 years?}, show went into re-runs earlier this year.
20 years?
There is a scene in a Jimmy Durante movie where he tries to sneak a 10 foot tall elephant out of a circus. He has a long length of rope around the beast’s neck as he is tip-toeing out of the tent. A policeman jumps out and says “What are you doing with that elephant?”
“Elephant”, says Durante. “What elephant?”
Who says Senator Barack Hussein Obama didn’t learn from the movies?
20 years?
What was Curley thinking?
He could have picked Henry the Fifth.
Churchill once said of a politician that “he was a modest man with much to be modest about”.
A perfect description of Curley.

Thoughts on Joe the Plumber
October 19, 2008
Dear Mr. X,
“The only thing wrong with capitalism is capitalists; the only thing wrong with socialism is socialism.”
I now have enough birthdays to qualify as an old curmudgeon. Alas, the quote is not mine but rather that of another old curmudgeon, Winston Churchill.
Senator Bambi, Barack the Merciful, the “Messiah” as Louie Louie Farrakhan called him, was pressing the flesh on a rope line 4 days ago. There he meets a guy who asks him about taxes. Senator Barack Hussein Obama, in an unscripted moment, answers truthfully that he is “going to spread the wealth around”. The unspoken but accepted premise is that he is going to take from a few to give to the many.
“Any public policy that involves robbing Peter
to pay Paul will always have Paul’s support.”
Paul
This aspiring Peter, Joe the Plumber, said the equivalent of “Once the people realize that they can vote themselves free money it will be the end of the Republic”. For this he has been covered with billingsgate, pilloried by his lessers, and mocked by people who wouldn’t know which end of a steel snake was the business end.
“He doesn’t have a plumber’s license” – Neither does any of the undocumented workers, AKA illegal aliens, who the mush brained, hard edged modern American Liberals media toads love soooo much. Maybe he’s a decent, hard working guy who wants to support his family. His family is in Ohio, not Tegucigalpa. Shouldn’t we support Joe the Plumber for having the same dreams as the wet backs who only want to share in the good world of los gringos?
“He has tax liens from the IRS” – So do I. As I explained yesterday mine were comfortably into 7 figures. That’s not counting the one for about $80,000 that the IRS issued against me in 1992. I was surprised to find out, as were my wife and children, that I had a machine tool company in Brooklyn, that I was divorced, and that I had 3 children there. I did not; I was not; I do not. Just a mistake they said. I had an IRS collection agent who was determined to see how long she could go without washing her hair. She suggested that I buy lottery tickets. When she took umbrage because I told her that the stone had no more blood she said I was “badgertating” her. Joe the Plumber said that he had no idea about the IRS lien. I stand with Joe.
“What does Joe know”? – I guessing he may not be up to par on the four source theory of Pentateuch composition. Like most sensible Americans he doesn’t much care about decomposition, Women’s’ Studies, and drowning polar bears. I will bet large dollars that he knows there are 50 states, not “57 or 58”. I will double the bet and say that he knows the Penn State mascot is a “Nittany Lion” and not a “Nittaly Lion”. I’ll bet the ranch that he knows that two terms in the White House equals 8 years and not 10. Joe the Plumber knows that it’s “Lefty loosey, righty tighty” when using a wrench. He also know that a “pint’s a pound the world round”. Plumbers learn that by carrying water. How much water do you think Barack Hussein Obama or Curley Biden have carried as part of a job?
[In 1963 I did construction work in Huejutla, Mexico with a group sponsored by the Archdiocese of Newark. One of my jobs was to buggylug – and if you have to ask what buggylug means you have never done any of it and hereby permanently disqualified from prattling on about how blue your collar is – water about 100 yards up a small hill. The accepted way was the Chinese method. That was a yoke to be worn over my shoulders with cans filled with water on each end. It didn’t take me but the better part of two trips to change that. It involved threading a pipe and connecting some sections of pipe to get the water the 100 yards up the hill. I then had to get the village priest, an astonishing man named Padre Arturo Lona, to bless the pump and the pipe and calm some ruffled feathers. No more trips up that hill. Funny thing, The further away in time I get from then the higher the hill gets and the heavier the water gets. That was an example of change I could believe in.]
Joe the Plumber asked a question that suggested not only was the Emperor not wearing any clothes but that he thought, based on what his glibly thuggish suck ups in the media spewed out, that no one was entitled to even think such thoughts let alone ask such questions.
One media serpent said, based on Joe the Plumber’s bald head, that he probably was a Nazi.
Using the same Logic James Carville is Hitler’s son. He is, isn’t he? Did Senator Joseph Curley “I have a higher IQ than you” Biden spot weld those Chia Pet hair plugs to his skull, a skull as bald as an 8 ball, so that people wouldn’t suspect that he was Herman Goering’s brother? Is that why Senator Carl Levin [D-MI], despite the perfect cover of everybody thinking he’s Jewish, starts his comb over in his left arm pit because he’s afraid that people will find out that his uncle was Reinhardt Heydrich? If Joe the Plumber whistles Valkyrie would we have to treat him the same as we treated Ezra Pound? Hey, I didn’t start this.
[You’re my confidential connection to the media in general and the puckeredup, pursedup Boston den of vipers in particular. Is there any truth to the rumor that the Boston Globe HQ will be renovated to the highest Green standards – goats on the roof to dispose of the garbage in an environmentally sensitive manner, stuff like that - and then converted into Section 8 Housing? Wouldn’t that be a monumentally priapristic moment for Barney Frank?]
What they are really saying is that Joe the Plumber is – you know what I’m saying? – is that Joe the Plumber is…is…gauche. He’s not with the program. You ask what the program is.
Forget what the platform said. The program changes only on the outer edges. It was begun on a tennis court in France. It first flew black flags. It then flew red flags. It would have no problem flying a plaid flag. It always knew where the Yellow Brick road was. It is, as T.S. Eliot said, “the search for a system so perfect that no one will have to be good”. Some of its proponents were unconscious “useful idiots”, as Lenin called them.. Henry Wallace comes to mind. Some were conscious. Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs are names that must be kept in the forefront. There is a straight line between handing over atomic secrets to someone with half a Jello label and trying to blow up the Pentagon.
Fairness, the enshrinement of all the silly feel good crack pot clap trap ideas of John Rawls, 4th, 5th, and 6th trimester abortions, one to one student/teacher ratios, a military that shoots to wound, punishing oil companies, higher SAT scores, security for the family farmer, lower food costs for the undeserving poor, God?, Never heard of him. compassionate judges, higher prices when Granny’s estate sells her house, cheaper housing for the working poor, free drugs for geezers, foreign nations telling us how good we are, more money for the arts, lower insurance premiums, an end to Global Warming, Kumbayaiousness in the land, free mass transit, the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Bill Ayers, lower taxes for people who don’t pay taxes, Joe Hill on a stamp, a never ending gaggle of golden geese, equality in an unequal world…Well you have to leave something for the second term of Barack the Beneficent.
The Democratic Party, and the modern American Liberals who are its communicants, loves mankind. It’s guys like Joe the Plumber that they hate. They just can’t hate him. He may be the last free man in Ohio. They have to destroy him.
Your pal,

Senator Bambi, Barack the Merciful, the “Messiah” as Louie Louie Farrakhan called him, was pressing the flesh on a rope line 4 days ago. There he meets a guy who asks him about taxes. Senator Barack Hussein Obama, in an unscripted moment, answers truthfully that he is “going to spread the wealth around”. The unspoken but accepted premise is that he is going to take from a few to give to the many.
“Any public policy that involves robbing Peter
to pay Paul will always have Paul’s support.”
Paul
This aspiring Peter, Joe the Plumber, said the equivalent of “Once the people realize that they can vote themselves free money it will be the end of the Republic”. For this he has been covered with billingsgate, pilloried by his lessers, and mocked by people who wouldn’t know which end of a steel snake was the business end.
“He doesn’t have a plumber’s license” – Neither does any of the undocumented workers, AKA illegal aliens, who the mush brained, hard edged modern American Liberals media toads love soooo much. Maybe he’s a decent, hard working guy who wants to support his family. His family is in Ohio, not Tegucigalpa. Shouldn’t we support Joe the Plumber for having the same dreams as the wet backs who only want to share in the good world of los gringos?
“He has tax liens from the IRS” – So do I. As I explained yesterday mine were comfortably into 7 figures. That’s not counting the one for about $80,000 that the IRS issued against me in 1992. I was surprised to find out, as were my wife and children, that I had a machine tool company in Brooklyn, that I was divorced, and that I had 3 children there. I did not; I was not; I do not. Just a mistake they said. I had an IRS collection agent who was determined to see how long she could go without washing her hair. She suggested that I buy lottery tickets. When she took umbrage because I told her that the stone had no more blood she said I was “badgertating” her. Joe the Plumber said that he had no idea about the IRS lien. I stand with Joe.
“What does Joe know”? – I guessing he may not be up to par on the four source theory of Pentateuch composition. Like most sensible Americans he doesn’t much care about decomposition, Women’s’ Studies, and drowning polar bears. I will bet large dollars that he knows there are 50 states, not “57 or 58”. I will double the bet and say that he knows the Penn State mascot is a “Nittany Lion” and not a “Nittaly Lion”. I’ll bet the ranch that he knows that two terms in the White House equals 8 years and not 10. Joe the Plumber knows that it’s “Lefty loosey, righty tighty” when using a wrench. He also know that a “pint’s a pound the world round”. Plumbers learn that by carrying water. How much water do you think Barack Hussein Obama or Curley Biden have carried as part of a job?
[In 1963 I did construction work in Huejutla, Mexico with a group sponsored by the Archdiocese of Newark. One of my jobs was to buggylug – and if you have to ask what buggylug means you have never done any of it and hereby permanently disqualified from prattling on about how blue your collar is – water about 100 yards up a small hill. The accepted way was the Chinese method. That was a yoke to be worn over my shoulders with cans filled with water on each end. It didn’t take me but the better part of two trips to change that. It involved threading a pipe and connecting some sections of pipe to get the water the 100 yards up the hill. I then had to get the village priest, an astonishing man named Padre Arturo Lona, to bless the pump and the pipe and calm some ruffled feathers. No more trips up that hill. Funny thing, The further away in time I get from then the higher the hill gets and the heavier the water gets. That was an example of change I could believe in.]
Joe the Plumber asked a question that suggested not only was the Emperor not wearing any clothes but that he thought, based on what his glibly thuggish suck ups in the media spewed out, that no one was entitled to even think such thoughts let alone ask such questions.
One media serpent said, based on Joe the Plumber’s bald head, that he probably was a Nazi.
Using the same Logic James Carville is Hitler’s son. He is, isn’t he? Did Senator Joseph Curley “I have a higher IQ than you” Biden spot weld those Chia Pet hair plugs to his skull, a skull as bald as an 8 ball, so that people wouldn’t suspect that he was Herman Goering’s brother? Is that why Senator Carl Levin [D-MI], despite the perfect cover of everybody thinking he’s Jewish, starts his comb over in his left arm pit because he’s afraid that people will find out that his uncle was Reinhardt Heydrich? If Joe the Plumber whistles Valkyrie would we have to treat him the same as we treated Ezra Pound? Hey, I didn’t start this.
[You’re my confidential connection to the media in general and the puckeredup, pursedup Boston den of vipers in particular. Is there any truth to the rumor that the Boston Globe HQ will be renovated to the highest Green standards – goats on the roof to dispose of the garbage in an environmentally sensitive manner, stuff like that - and then converted into Section 8 Housing? Wouldn’t that be a monumentally priapristic moment for Barney Frank?]
What they are really saying is that Joe the Plumber is – you know what I’m saying? – is that Joe the Plumber is…is…gauche. He’s not with the program. You ask what the program is.
Forget what the platform said. The program changes only on the outer edges. It was begun on a tennis court in France. It first flew black flags. It then flew red flags. It would have no problem flying a plaid flag. It always knew where the Yellow Brick road was. It is, as T.S. Eliot said, “the search for a system so perfect that no one will have to be good”. Some of its proponents were unconscious “useful idiots”, as Lenin called them.. Henry Wallace comes to mind. Some were conscious. Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs are names that must be kept in the forefront. There is a straight line between handing over atomic secrets to someone with half a Jello label and trying to blow up the Pentagon.
Fairness, the enshrinement of all the silly feel good crack pot clap trap ideas of John Rawls, 4th, 5th, and 6th trimester abortions, one to one student/teacher ratios, a military that shoots to wound, punishing oil companies, higher SAT scores, security for the family farmer, lower food costs for the undeserving poor, God?, Never heard of him. compassionate judges, higher prices when Granny’s estate sells her house, cheaper housing for the working poor, free drugs for geezers, foreign nations telling us how good we are, more money for the arts, lower insurance premiums, an end to Global Warming, Kumbayaiousness in the land, free mass transit, the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Bill Ayers, lower taxes for people who don’t pay taxes, Joe Hill on a stamp, a never ending gaggle of golden geese, equality in an unequal world…Well you have to leave something for the second term of Barack the Beneficent.
The Democratic Party, and the modern American Liberals who are its communicants, loves mankind. It’s guys like Joe the Plumber that they hate. They just can’t hate him. He may be the last free man in Ohio. They have to destroy him.

Congressman Ron Klein

Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301
RE: Drilling off the coast of Cuba
Congressman Klein,
Cuba Petroleo, the state owned Cuban oil company, just announced that they have 20 billion - 20,000,000,000 – barrels of oil in the North Cuba Basin. They expect to begin drilling in 8 months. The geologic structure is very similar to what is found in United States and Mexican waters in the Gulf. Cuba’s share of the Gulf of Mexico was established in 1997 when it signed treaties with the United States of America and the United States of Mexico.
Apparently the “Drill, Drill, Drill” philosophy espoused by Newt Gingrich, T. Boone Pickens and everybody who uses gasoline has taken hold and is flourishing, Alas, it is flourishing in Cuba, a country where for 50 years, try and try and try as it does, they have yet to overcome the three perpetual problems of any Socialist economy; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Soon, very soon Cuba may be exporting oil. The mind boggles.
Two things:
#1 – I know that neither Exxon nor Chevron will be involved with the drilling of these wells. Whoever drills will not be answerable to the American legal system. From Key West to Pensacola the Gulf coast of Florida will be in peril. If there is a spill who will pay? Will the United States Navy take an active role in enforcing our environmental standards on a foreign company and foreign country? What will be the rules of engagement? A hearing at the United Nations? A suit at the World Court? An F-18 air strike followed by a Marine invasion?
#2 – If we are to assume the risk of beach befoulment shouldn’t we get some of the “good stuff”? Let me define “good stuff”: Increased domestic oil production, the creation of tens of thousands of new jobs, an exponential increase in tax revenues, both state and Federal, and the decreased dependence on foreign oil, sometimes from countries not overly friendly to us.
Would not common sense and the common good dictate that we adopt such a policy?
I care deeply about our nation. I care deeply about the future that awaits my grandchildren. If wandering manatees, peripatetic furbish louseworts, the odd whooping crane, Luddites and fellow travelers of Lysenko are disturbed…that’s too damn bad.
If Castro can do it so can we.

Joe the Plumber
October 17, 2008
The fat lady just sat down. She’s the one with the Viking horns, the long blond pony tails, and the spear. When she heads for the front of the stage you reach for your parking stub.
She started to stand up. She changed her mind.
The Deus ex machina was Joe the Plumber.
Senator Barack Hussein Obama – I looove three names, don’t you? Think Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Fitzgerald Kennedy – couldn’t put Hillary Rodham Clinton away in the later primaries.
Joe the Plumber, and by now the thugs who work for Senator Barack Hussein Obama and the toads and weasels who carry his water in the media will have found out that Joe the Plumber is a troll who eats little kittens, tells mother in law jokes, and never heard of “Angels in America” save to say that he knows it’s probably not about Angels, knows the hard way that if you tax something you have less of it.
Joe the Plumber asked Senator Barack Hussein Obama not the obvious question, the question that gives politicians the chance to sound like Mother Teresa minus the religion, the one that gives them the opportunity to talk of shared sacrifice, of fairness, of helping the children. The obvious question would have been “What are you going to do for me”? Rather, he asked “What are you going to do to me”?
To his credit Senator Barack Hussein Obama told Joe the Plumber that if he does well the Internal Revenue Service will, without any risk, stick its man hole sized hand into his pocket and “spread the wealth”.
Senator Joseph “Curley” Biden, a man who believes in selective Globalization what with his hair being from China and his teeth being from the Duchy of DuPont, told us it was “patriotic” to pay more taxes
. Interestingly, he excluded himself from this burden. Also, the burden of helping those less fortunate than him – it’s called charity – also is not for him. Perhaps he didn’t want to dilute the value of his donations and contributions but claiming them on his tax returns. I don’t believe that and if you do then, as the Iron Duke said, “You’ll believe anything”.
You do not “create” jobs by passing out $3,000 tax credits for each new job “created”. If you start a new business – plumbing, soft ware, making sausages, you name it – “tax credits” are about as useful as tits on a bull by the time you reach your third payroll.
“Tax credits” come into play when you file your first tax return. If you are showing a profit in your first year of business you work either for Tony Soprano or your business is playing and winning by filling inside straights. If you do the latter enough times the former will be retained by the casinos to monitor your business methods.
In the real world, a world that Joe the Plumber lives in and one that Senator Barack Hussein Obama has no idea of or why would he be caterwauling about the price of arugula, Joe the Plumber knows genetically, instinctively, or, as Edmund Burke said,” Unfortunately, experience is the only school where some people ever learn” what works for him.
He also knows the difference between gross and net.
James Burnham once had a list to determine who was a modern American Liberal and who wasn’t. If you believed that the United Nations was good and that Alger Hiss and the Rosenthals were railroaded and that higher tax rates got more revenue for the government you got your membership card. Today, the typical modern American Liberal looks a Subchapter S tax return and sees only one number that counts to him. Gross income.
Senator Joseph Curley Biden says that no plumber in his neighborhood – Did you know that his neighborhood is known as “Chateau Country”? – “makes” $250,000 a year. That’s true for the unstated reason that there are no plumbers in his neighborhood. If Joe the Plumber has 1 truck, an astonishing insurance bill, and why does Joe the Plumber need a lawyer, 2 part time assistants, and a big pile of inventory in his garage his $250,000 a year is not a lot of money. Since Senator Barack Hussein Obama has already told Joe the Plumber that he will tax the bejeezus out him to “spread the wealth” – Don’t you love it when politicians tell the truth particularly when they don’t want to? – why should Joe want to put his hand into that particular meat grinder?
Joe the Plumber knows this.
That’s why the fat lady sat down.
That’s why there is one more act to come.
Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

RE: “It Ain’t Necessarily So” – A different take on your column in today’s Miami Herald.
Mr. Pitts,
“Accurately, it turns out” is what you said in re Thomas Jefferson “fathering a child by a slave”. Like I said, “It Ain’t Necessarily So”.
I hate to be turd in the punch bowl particularly when the author is a Pulitzer Prize winner – I think neither Walter Duranty nor Janice Cook will mind – but what you wrote is, at the very least, not accurate.
Facts are hard things. Either they are true or they are not. “Close” counts only in horseshoes and nuclear weapons.
It – Thomas Jefferson’s fathering of a child by a slave ain’t so ‘cuz you say it is. Look it up.
Touching on another slave matter would it be “fair” to say that Barack Husssein Obama’s connection to the slave trade would have been on the gathering and selling side? Arab traders – Barack Hussein Obama is an Arabic name, isn’t it? – made and still make a good living trafficking in human flesh. It was not unusual for Arab corsairs to raid Europe for treasure and slaves. There are 5 Muslim majority countries in Africa today that countenance slavery within their borders. Sudan, Mali, Chad, Mauretania, and Nigeria have never heard of the 13th Amendment.
Will an Obama Presidency see an end to this?

Richard Cohen
October 15, 2008
Richard Cohen writes this morning in the Miami Herald about tonight’s debate. He poses some hypothetical questions to each of them. One of them is below.
“Senator Obama and Senator McCain, you both favor NATO
membership for Ukraine & Georgia. Please tell us how you
would explain to an American soldier why he or she would have
to fight for either country. Please explain why Georgia is in
our national interest.”
Among the smarmiest of the modern American Liberal ass kissing “I’m so guilty” suck-up Kumbaya keening “men without chests” bastards is Richard Cohen. Long before bullying became a crime caused by the Republican Congress undoing “Midnight Basketball” you knew little peckerheads like him in high school. If you had nothing else to do you gave Little Dick some nuggies. Most times he earned them.
But when he’s right he’s right.
It was better said in Parliament in 1938.
“They are a faraway people of whom we know little.”
The speaker was Neville Chamberlain. The “faraway people” were the citizens of Czechoslovakia.
The only opposition was from an aging curmudgeon. His response was simple. “We had to choose between shame and war. We chose shame; we will have war.”
Winston Churchill said it.
Fast forward to 1960.
This country does strange things in elections.
The Democrats claimed that the Republicans allowed a “missile gap” to develop between Russia and America, said gap placing this country in mortal peril. The thought that President Eisenhower, a man who led an army of 10,000,000 men, a man who defeated Hitler 11 months and 2 days after he landed in Europe, would allow his country to be in peril was, of course, ludicrous.
A case could be made that the Democratic contender, a 14 year veteran of Congress, a wounded Navy veteran, got his job because the paternal grandfather of ACORN, Daley the First, cooked the books in Chicago and Cook County a few hours after the polls closed. Some things never change. But I digress.
Speaking of “faraway places” Google up Quemoy and Matsu. Above all find them on a map. Senator Kennedy repeatedly said “Any place is defensible if free men choose to do so”.

It’s too late to explain to Corporal Leonard W. Putnam why he “had to fight” in some faraway land. He was killed in action “in the Pacific Area on May 25, 1945”. In fact, a Japanese mortar shell took off most of the right side of his body in Okinawa. That certainly qualifies as a “faraway place”.
He was a 42 year old piano salesman from Jersey City, New Jersey who married my wife’s great aunt Millie. They had no children.

The solipsism of people such as Richard Cohen precludes him from being humbled by anything outside of himself. The thought of men fighting and dying for something greater than themselves is an alien concept. It is a trait missing in his DNA double helix.
I can only call attention to his smarminess. It would take a Dante to describe it justly.

Carl Hiassen - Smear Tactics

Carl Hiaasen

Miami, Florida 33132-1693
RE: “Smear Tactics” – The end of civilization as we know it or could it be worse? A comment on your “Why can’t we all just get along?” column in today’s Miami Herald.
Mr. Hiaasen,
Are the “lights going out all over”? Are we entering an age of “Trousered Apes”?
I’m voting for a Black man this year. Does that make me a good guy?
For the past 8 years this country has had its President compared to Hitler. I guess that doesn’t count.
Saturday Night Live had a skit that said Governor Palin’s husband was “doing” their daughters. Was that reasoned discourse or civil exchange? Was that as you say “too risky”?
The bench mark for all over the top, sling mud, take no prisoners Presidential campaigns was 1800. That was the first campaign that did not have George Washington keeping score. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, two of the most beloved men in American History, went after each other like cats in a sack. No quarter asked; no quarter given. Did they reach their hallowed status because of or in spite of their performances?
I am a bit confused when you make William Ayers and Charles Keating “moral equivalents”.
Keating went to jail for giving politicians money
Ayers didn’t go to jail after blowing up Federal buildings.
Ayers, a devout disciple as was Hillary Rodham Clinton of Saul Alinsky, a man whose hero was Satan, was a victim of “Fatal Conceit” and poor timing.
His conceit was that he knew what was best for everyone. A few dead policeman or some blown-up buildings was a small price to pay for Utopia. [“All them corn fields and ballet at night.”] His poor timing was that the New York Times published an interview with him on September 11, 2001. As 3,000 people were turned to goo he said that he was “sorry he didn’t do more”. “More” was the killing of policemen and the destruction of Federal buildings. Sounds like a stand up guy.
In his defense it must be said that his wife, as charming and gracious an ax murderer as you would ever want to be involved with your children’s school, was worse.
Keating would have right at home with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. He wouldn’t have just been a “Friend of Angelo” he would have been Angelo.
Of the Keating Five it is indeed fitting and proper to note that Robert Bennett, the lead investigative attorney for the Democratic Senate, said that John McCain did nothing illegal, improper, or unethical. Perhaps it slipped your mind but the other 4 Senators were Democratic. Of course, if the admittedly vague rules of tu quoque are suspended then where are the standards to which an honest man may repair?
You say “McCain and four other lawmakers took fat donations from Keating”. How about the guy he’s running against?
Senator Barack Hussein Obama, and if Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Washington Carver, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John Beresford Tipton, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy didn’t mind having their middle names used why should he or any of his paladins mind. Hussein is as proud name. I think it means “Death to the Jews” or “Bring on the virgins”. I don’t think it means “baboon”. The Democratic Party and The New York Time regularly referred to Abraham Lincoln as that. What the heck. You knew that, didn’t you?
I love to say that I am from Bayonne. I know that “Politics ain’t beanbag”.
That’s why the following sequence of events is not surprising. Barack Hussein Obama is elected to the United States Senate. His wife works for a hospital in Chicago. She is in charge of seeing that all aspects of bed pans – purchasing, delivery, cleaning, and disposing of said contents in an environmentally sensitive manner – are done in a way that reflects the humanitarian principles espoused by the Daley family.
As an aside for me the best moment of the 2000 election was when one of the Daleys landed in Florida and saying, “Let the recount begin”. That’s why veteran newsmen wear dark trousers. That way you have a chance of changing your pants before the rest of the world knows that you pissed in said pants.
Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in as Senator Barack Hussein Obama. He gets his wife’s employer an earmark of $1,000,000. She gets a $4,000 – repeat - $4,000 a week- repeat - $4,000 a week – raise. That’s $200,000 a year.
Coincidence?
I told you I’m from Bayonne, New Jersey.
My brother the hunchback will straighten up if the replay shows that to be a coincidence.
Only a modern American Liberal, one who lives in the penumbra filled world of the perpetual suspension of both belief and disbelief, would believe so.

PS – The Black man I’m voting for is Alan West. Does that make me a good guy? Also, a quick math quiz. Almost 50% of Americans do not pay income tax. How is Senator Candidate Barack Hussein Obama going to cut taxes on the 95% of those who do?

RE: “Smear Tactics” – The end of civilization as we know it or could it be worse? A comment on your “Why can’t we all just get along?” column in today’s Miami Herald.
Mr. Hiaasen,
Are the “lights going out all over”? Are we entering an age of “Trousered Apes”?
I’m voting for a Black man this year. Does that make me a good guy?
For the past 8 years this country has had its President compared to Hitler. I guess that doesn’t count.
Saturday Night Live had a skit that said Governor Palin’s husband was “doing” their daughters. Was that reasoned discourse or civil exchange? Was that as you say “too risky”?
The bench mark for all over the top, sling mud, take no prisoners Presidential campaigns was 1800. That was the first campaign that did not have George Washington keeping score. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, two of the most beloved men in American History, went after each other like cats in a sack. No quarter asked; no quarter given. Did they reach their hallowed status because of or in spite of their performances?
I am a bit confused when you make William Ayers and Charles Keating “moral equivalents”.
Keating went to jail for giving politicians money
Ayers didn’t go to jail after blowing up Federal buildings.
Ayers, a devout disciple as was Hillary Rodham Clinton of Saul Alinsky, a man whose hero was Satan, was a victim of “Fatal Conceit” and poor timing.
His conceit was that he knew what was best for everyone. A few dead policeman or some blown-up buildings was a small price to pay for Utopia.

One thing positive has come out of this campaign.
Yesterday, on national TV, the anti-Semitic jibe about “Jews are too smart” was disproved. Twice.
That’s why I thought about calling this little note
“Two Dumb Jews”
Robert Wexler [D – FL & MD], is a Congressman so smarmy that it takes two states to contain him. A while back he said that Governor Palin was a Nazi. He offered as proof that she was alleged to have worn a “Buchanan” button. Can’t you just hear those Huskies goose stepping to the Horst Wessel tune? He can. Can’t you just see her naming a bridge after Margaret Sanger? He can. Can’t you just see her sending the Alaska National Guard into Poland? He can.
That alone, according to Boob Wexler, would be sufficient to toss her into America’s first adult sleep away hostel, Camp Gitmo, for pre-trail detention.
Yesterday, I saw him sitting on a stage that had Senator Bambi rambling on about “fairness”. The Congressman had a look on his face halfway between MEGO [My eyes glaze over] and that of a refugee from the short yellow school bus that is filled with window lickers.
It was like someone slipped him a note that said Barry’s buddies hate Jews. He asked if there were any Jews other than Republicans on the list. When he was told that the venom starts with Israel he gulped. He was, as Al Sharpton once said, like a “hook nosed diamond merchant” who stumbled into a barbecue pork eating contest.
Why didn’t he jump up and denounce Barack the Blessed and Most Merciful?
Simple.
Wexler is a dumb Jew.
Barack the Beneficent has friends and backers who have said that “Judaism is a gutter religion”. This moron says, “What, me worry? Sarah Palin is a Nazi. Barack may be the Messiah. Make way.” A perfect dunce.
This doesn’t bother Wexler even a little bit.
Why?
Because he’s a dumb Jew.
If someone tells me that he’s going to destroy the country that my fathers came from and round up all of my cousins and kill them I would, at the very least, sharpen my ax and keep my eye on him.
That’s known as using your Yiddishe kup.
A bit later I saw Congressperson Debbie Wasserman-Schultz [D-FL] Her family perfected the test. Her husband was a prison guard.
A mating of eagles!
Ain’t she a cutie? Rapunzel would shave her head if she saw her.
On September 18, 2001 – one week after feral bastard towel heads invaded this country and killed 3,000 people – 2 Florida Department of Law Enforcement Deputies, Agent Thomas and Agent Mineva, both of whom had badges and guns, came to my house to “advise” me that I shouldn’t write to then State Senator Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. Her resume says that she has two degrees in Political Science. She must have missed the part about the Greek saying that “Free men speak with free tongues”.
As a typical modern American Liberal she is, at heart, a friggin’ brown shirted, hob nailed boot stomping Nazi bastard. Free speech is reserved for her and those who share her opinions.
She is filled with “non-malodorous fecal matter”. As a champion of public education she sees no contradiction in sending her children to a very expensive private school. The basketball coach at that school drives a Bentley. That it creates a carbon footprint that could have come from a Goliath is of no import.
She was on TV this week caterwauling about milk being $6 a gallon. Publix Supermarket, about ¼ of a mile from her local office, will sell her all she wants for $2.69. She was off by half. Maybe she buys her milk from Sophia Loren.
Using Congressman Wexler’s Logic Congresswoman Little Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has become another dumb Jew.
Senator Barack Hussein Obama, and if President George Bush’s father can be called George Herbert Walker Bush why can’t the junior Senator form Illinois be called by his proper names, heard his pastor spew hatred for 20 years. He condemned his own country; he condemned Israel; he condemned Jews. How could he not have heard this? To say that he never knew what his own pastor said requires a willing suspension of disbelief on the part of his believers. It is a trait uncommon to Tribe members.
This week Louie Louie Farakhan called Senator Barack Hussein Obama the “Messiah”. “Moshiac”.
Only truly dumb Jews, biblically dumb Jews, Homerically dumb Jews, Guinness Book of Records dumb Jews, and the first two names that leap to mind are Congressman Robert Wexler and Congresschick Debbie Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, could sit through this and not say, “Oy”
In 2005 Adolf Akbar Ahmadinejad said: “Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and can be achieved”.
This is the man that Senator Barack Hussein Obama wants to meet without conditions?
William Ayers, a guy that Senator Barack Hussein Obama says “lives in his neighborhood”, tried to blow up the Capitol in Washington, DC. He said in an interview published in the New York Times on September 11, 2001 that he was “sorry he didn’t do more”. Ayers wanted to blow up Amerikans. If Jews were in the mix so be it. He wasn’t aiming at them in particular. He was a non-denominational murderer. I suppose that’s a plus for him.
Senator Barack Hussein Obama is peeing on the backs of American Jews. They think it’s rain.
If I were a rich man I would say they had a lot to atone for this week.

RE: “If Palin were a male candidate…” – A different take on the obviously eclectic joys in gender bashing.
Mr. Hiaasen,
“If Biden was a Republican candidate…” Note please the absence of the subjunctive. Only heads up their ass modern American Liberals are allowed to use it. Something about conditional nuances, whatever the Hell they are.
“If Biden was a Republican…”do you suppose someone, anyone would ask him about Franklin Roosevelt being President in 1929? Do you suppose someone, anyone would ask how Roosevelt could go on TV before it was invented? The man, for whom the word “boob” is enjoying a renascence, did say that. You could look it up and ask him ‘cuz [cuz? Cuz I like talkin’ like an embittered gun totin’, God clingin’, snake handlin’ Good ole boy Redneck, who Honest Injun, drives a red pick up truck, dontchaknow?] the toads who get chills up their legs when Senator B. Hussein Obama preaches sure as Hell ain’t.
“If Biden was a Republican…” do you think someone from the Democratic Party or its lap dog media suckups would ask him why he doesn’t want coal burning power plants in America? Since 50% of the electricity generated in this country comes from coal burning power plants does that mean he doesn’t want Florida to have air conditioning? Does that mean that he wants the people who mine coal in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and Illinois, to lose their jobs? I don’t know if idle coal mines can be used to grow arugula, arugula being the favorite green veggie of Senator Bambi from Chicago. Chicago is/was/shall be the home of the famous “make every vote count only as often as it is needed” machine, remember? Is that what “community organizers” do there?
“If Biden was a Republican…” do you think someone from the Democratic Party or its lap dog media suckups would ask him how his kid got a $1,200,000 gig as a lobbyist? Mrs. Thomas Daschle needed a U-Haul to carry her swag out the door when she was – Summon the Exorcists! Fetch the holy water! Get a stake and a sliver bullet! – a lobbyist. Did I mention that her husband ran the United States Senate? I didn’t? I must have forgotten. Do you think the Democratic Party or its lap dog media suckups would have “If Daschle was a Republican…”?
I remember in 1960 President-elect Kennedy standing in front of his low income, blue collar house in inner city Georgetown announcing that he was naming his brother Bobby as his Attorney General. He said, “I want to give him some legal experience if he ever needs a job.” The press, you’ll be surprised to know, loved it. You say “If Palin were a male candidate she’d be asked why she put another childhood friend in charge of a money-losing, state subsidized creamery…” Maybe her friend knew the difference between the elusive curds and the wily wheys. I don’t know. I do know that Bobby Kennedy loved to wire tap Martin Luther King. Considering that his first job in Washington was as lead Counsel to Senator McCarthy [Joseph of Wisconsin, not Eugene of Minnesota] it would be fair to say that acorns never fall far from the tree, don’t you think?
“If Biden was a Republican…” do you think someone from the Democratic Party or its lap dog media suckups would have asked why he couldn’t make the guy in the wheel chair “walk”? Senator Edwards told us in 2004 that if Senator J. Forbes Kerry is elected wheel chairs would be made obsolete by his administration. In all fairness he did say it would require a second Kerry term to cover blindness and the repeal of that irksome Amendment about term limits to get to a return of Resurrections. Senator Curley Biden – I call him Curley in honor of the smartest of the 3 Stooges – has had some problems with the Catholic Church lately what with his incorrect utterances on Church doctrine. Do you suppose that “Payback is a bitch” is now ex cathedra? Don’t you think someone should ask?
“If Biden was a Republican…” do you think the fact of his cheating in law school and the plagiarizing of his speeches would be fodder for the big cannons of the modern American Liberal press? They would have a picture of this Chia-haired dunce on the walls of the Ethically Challenged Hall of Fame.
“If Biden was a Republican…” don’t you think someone, anyone would have pointed out that the only time “blue collar” could be used by him would have been if he spoke of his fondness for Brooks Brothers.
“If Biden was a Republican…” don’t you think someone, anyone would have asked why he was raised in a section of Wilmington still known as “Chateau Country”?
“If Biden was a Republican…” do you think someone from the Democratic Party or its lap dog media suck ups would have asked why, after averaging more than $250,000 a year in salary for a decade, he and his wife never voluntarily paid more in taxes than they had to?
Since Biden isn’t a Republican do you think the term “non-malodorous fecal matter” can be used to cover all of this nit-wit’s gaffes, non-sequiturs, malapropisms, and a foot so far down his mouth that it could kick his colon to death to cover all of his peculiarities? Wannabet he can’t spell potato?
Biden did vote in favor of Hanoi occupying Saigon in 1975.
Biden did vote in favor of Havana occupying Managua in 1983.
The lap dog media suck ups will never ask him about those votes.
He’s making us all long for the “paradigmatic template” of Vice Presidential candidates, Geraldine Fellini-Zuchini. Her husband, Gepetto, what with stealing money from old ladies and giving Sicilians a bad name, wasn’t exactly a day at the beach. What in the name of Harry Truman qualified her to be Vice President?
Speaking of and for “right wing gas bags who trashed Hillary Clinton” I tell you that as founding member of the “vast Right-Wing conspiracy” I loved Hillary.
Let me outline her career.
#1 – Her husband is elected as Attorney General of Arkansas.
1A – She is hired by the largest law firm in Arkansas.
#2 – Her husband is elected Governor of Arkansas.
2A – She becomes a partner in the largest law firm in Arkansas.
Coincidence?
It happens as often, as Jeeves used to say, “Finding a trout in the milk”.
She perfected the art of lap dancing in the electric chair when she “calmed” brain damaged Ricky Ray Rector as he was led – Isaac like – to be sacrificed on the altar of “Liberals can be tough on crime”. Remember?
If Hillary had her way Sister Souljah would have gotten a 3rd eye.
Sarah Palin wouldn’t have farmed the job out.

“One of you is going to be President.”
“One of you is going to be President.”
That’s what the moderator said last night at Oxford, Mississippi.
Funny thing about modern American Liberals. A Republican candidate for President campaigned there once. He was accused of being as racially insensitive as any of those hard line Southern Senators. Names like Fullbright, Gore, Ervin, and Sparkman came flooding back. Not a peep last night. I guess History doesn’t count.
Of the many differences between modern American Liberals and Conservatives of any stripe is that Conservatives know that “Men are not Angels”.
Who knows? Maybe Pakistan deserves to be invaded. Senator B. Hussein Obama told us last night that the war in Iraq was wrong. He told us that the war in Afghanistan was good. Further, he told us that he would invade Pakistan.
We do know that it is not a nice neighborhood there. We do know that thugs rule there. We do know that Adolf Akmajinidad, of recent UN fame, Columbia University seminars, and CODE PINK picnics, wants nuclear weapons. We do know that he wants to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. One of the past rulers of Pakistan said that “his people would eat dirt” if that’s what it took to get a nuclear weapon. They go one then they hanged him. Then they blew up his daughter. Like I said, “It’s not a nice neighborhood”.
Madeline Albright and Jimmy Carter convinced the Gomers in North Korea to give up their nuclear program, remember? Just kidding, just kidding. Can’t you take a joke? Those two rubes are lucky they came back with their shoes on. The American Army marched into Baghdad and Qadafi of Libya started to sound like he belonged to the Chamber of Commerce.
Imagine if the Israelis had not taken out the not quite finished nuclear plant at Osiris in 1981? General Schwarzkopf would have had a quite different set of facts staring at him after the other Hussein occupied Kuwait.. Grenada, Panama, Somalia, and Bosnia had some nasty characters. Imagine if they had nuclear weapons. Imagine if Iraq had them. Imagine if Iran gets them.
It is said that after Hitler invaded Poland a famous expert on Foreign Relations, a United States Senator, said, “If only I could have talked to him. This wouldn’t have happened.”
Thugs wet their pants when “useful idiots”, a Western species that will never, never be endangered, “talk” to them.
If we are concerned with what the Walloons, the Portuguese, the Maltese, the Beverly Hills swells, the tenured faculties at schools costing $50,000 a year to turn young brains into mush, the Editorial Board of the New York Times, and some left over burnt out aged hippies from Woodstock think about “us” then we should appoint Dr. Phil as our Talking Ambassador. The Duke of Wellington said, after reviewing some of his troops, “They may not scare the enemy but they terrify me.” I think William Ayres, a proud bomb thrower and good friend of the Democratic candidate, should talk to Hugo Chavez and any living Castro
I don’t much care if the new President doesn’t know the name of the temporary head of the Fugowi Province of Kafiristan. It is far, far better that this feral poltroon knows his name. And if that upsets the Catalans and the Dutch…too bad.
“A decent respect for the opinions of mankind” is good. As soon as all those swords are turned into plowshares and lions and lambs can lie down with each other without having to find a new lamb each night I’ll take another look at it.
Beethoven’s chorale was right. “All men should be brothers.”
It’s a tough world out there
Until that happens I think it would be wise to remember two Russian proverbs:

That’s what the moderator said last night at Oxford, Mississippi.
Funny thing about modern American Liberals. A Republican candidate for President campaigned there once. He was accused of being as racially insensitive as any of those hard line Southern Senators. Names like Fullbright, Gore, Ervin, and Sparkman came flooding back. Not a peep last night. I guess History doesn’t count.
Of the many differences between modern American Liberals and Conservatives of any stripe is that Conservatives know that “Men are not Angels”.

Barney Frank Did It!
September 24, 2008
“Eliminate the impossible; whatever is left,
however improbable,
is the answer.”
Holmes
Barney did it.
The whole enchilada.
Not Barney, the purple skinned TV galoot for whom a TV extinction would be the highest rated reality show ever. Not Barney’s, the poor man’s Starbucks wanabee and will someone please tell me how Seattle became the coffee capital of the world? None of them, no way, no how.
Congressman Barney Frank caused the whole mortgage mess. The smoking gun for Fannie and Freddie can be traced right back to him.
Congresslad Barney from Bayonne decided some time ago to stick his big toe, it being his most underused appendage, into the private sector.
He chose something to which he had devoted his whole life – prepubescent, teenage, and adult.
He opened a male only French Knocking Shoppe in his basement. People from Bayonne would have called it a “Mad About the Lad Whore House”. As the business grew, I dare say “tumescently” would not be an inappropriate word, he knew that he had to make some capital improvements.
He wanted to add 6 ½ baths, 4 whipping posts, 3 bubble machines, a stage where Richard Simmons could lead exercise classes, a mechanical bull in honor of Catherine the Great, an anatomically correct Rock Hudson action doll, a Barbra Streisand/Anita Bryant perpetual Celebrity Death Match, a stuff the canoli with biodegradable environmentally sensitive body fluids photo booth, cocktail forks designed by Oscar Wilde, a Truman Capote bobble head doll, a tableaux with the Village People singing “YMCA” for ever and ever and ever, a cologne spray machine featuring the manly smell of Brut, a library devoted to the wit and wisdom of Cole Porter, oodles and oodles of lavender stuff, & Ken and Ken Barbie Dolls, inter alia.
Mortgages, “personal loans secured by real property”, were made for this, or so thought Barney from Bayonne.
Bruce, Barney’s banking buddy, had some doubts. He had warned Big B about the angst of premature withdrawals. He also told him that a business plan for rump wrangling, however deeply penetrating and all encompassing, would be a hard sell.
If you could hypothecate Hershey Highway bazaars why not crack houses?
Anyway, before we could get to loan to value ratios events intervened.
Barney got caught fixing parking tickets for his live in boy toy.
In the back of his mind he felt that the mortgage Gods blew the whistle on his inamorata du jour so they wouldn’t have to deny his application. They ticked off the wrong guy from Bayonne.
He made sure that everyone could get a mortgage. That way no one would never not get a mortgage. Got it?
He knew that dead people in Hudson County voted. He made sure that they could get mortgages. Why should death deprive someone of the American dream?
Meanwhile, President Handsome Billy from Hot Springs took care of some of the stout lads and lasses who stood by him when he was publicly perjuring himself.
Franklin Raines, “clean and articulate” to quote Senator Curley Biden praising Senator B. Hussein Obama; James Johnson, a man for whom the word “oily” was made; and Jamie Gorelick, the author of the Chinese Wall that led to 9/11 and the possessor of a porcine puss in need of pounds of lipstick were sent to the Federal National Mortgage Association. “Send a thief to catch a thief” doesn’t quite make it. Foxes and vixens in charge of the hen house would be more apt.
Barney made Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac his personal lap dogs.
Barney thought he must have been back in Hudson County.
Senator Dodd [D-Ct] was almost too easy. A couple of bucks for his campaign and a below market rate special lulu of a mortgage that he got because he was a “Friend of Angelo” and he was in the tank. He raised being a smarmy bastard to an art form.
Senator Obama got the second highest amount of swag. Since he did it in only two years an asterisk – sort of like a reverse of Roger Maris – should be attached to his name.
The three yeggs cooked the books 6 ways to Sunday. They have already given back $90,000,000 [That’s ninety million dollars] If they didn’t why did they give the money back?
Barney, Bayonne’s Busiest Bee, operated on a simple philosophy. “Any public policy that involves robbing Peter to pay Paul will always have Paul’s support.” Barney found a treasure trove of hitherto unknown Pauls. He found the mother lode. In fact, he created a whole new class of poor, pitiful Pauls. They didn’t have to worry about low credit scores; they didn’t have any. In many instances they didn’t even have jobs.
[If memory serves, George Stephanopolous got a 125% mortgage on commercial property in Washington, D.C. in 1993. What that means is that the bank lent him the down payment and some working capital. Then they converted it into a mortgage. One Hell of a deal for Georgie! At least he was working. The immediate supervisor listed on his mortgage application was the previously mentioned President Clinton.]
Jamie Gorelick, for whom a new wave of basitnadoers may yet be called to service, refinanced $963,000 through Countrywide Mortgage. She was a “Friend of Angelo”. Angelo Mozillo was the CEO of Countrywide Mortgage. She was also a grifter. Doubtless, in return for services rendered she paid 20% LESS in interest than the market rate at the time of her closing. The term of her loan was 10 years. That’s a lot of money. She’ll need it for lipstick. A lot of lipstick. At least you knew where you stood with Tony Soprano. This sanctimonious strumpet peed on your back and told you it was rain.
Maybe she could have gotten a job at Barney’s Basement.

RE: Franklin Raines is Willie Horton?
Professor Dukakis,
Three days after the “Trousered Apes” on Saturday Night Live did a sketch about Todd Palin, Alaska’s First Dude, ‘doing’ his daughters with nary a whisper of outrage from the “non-malodorous fecal matter” modern American Liberals who ooze with contempt for the ubermenschen who make up the country I awake to your statement that Franklin Raines is Willie Horton.
Let the record show that it was neither Bush 41 nor was it Lee Atwater who first put Willie Horton’s name, his remarkable resume, and your oh so typical modern American Liberal response to his Maryland rape and murder furlough before the American public. Let the record show that he was furloughed from a Massachusetts prison where he was serving a life sentence for murder. That it happened on you watch is beyond dispute.
Let the record show that it was Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. who first told America about Willie’s fabulous adventure. Despite the demands on his time – Do you think inventing the Internet is easy? – soon to be Vice President Alpha Gump figured out that you let a feral predator loose on the American public. By the way, Willie Boy was just as Black then as he was a few months later when the TV ads ran. [It was too early to say you were “Swift Boated”. You weren’t “Borked” because the ads against you were true. It’s an open category looking for a name, preferably a gerund.] He told the story during the New York Primary in the spring of 1988.
If you’ve forgotten maybe it’s because you kept banging your head – sans tank helmet – trying to convince Iowans to raise endives. Presumably, your campaign for succotash subsidies is still a thing of the past.
Franklin Raines, as far as I know, to paraphrase Senator Clinton’s response to the admittedly loaded question “Is B. Hussein Obama a towel headed, goat humping, woman stoning, bomb throwing, Jew hating Muslim”? is not a raping murderer on furlough from a Massachusetts prison where he was serving a life sentence for murder, as far as I know.
One thing is for sure, thanks to you. Franklin Raines is Black. I can’t tell you about Willie Horton but he is, by Curley Biden’s standards, “clean and articulate”.
His crime was looting Fannie Mae 6 ways to Sunday. He had to make a “ledger adjustment” of $80,000,000 – that’s 80 million dollars - or he would have faced criminal charges a la Willie. On second thought maybe you were right. Maybe he is Willie Horton with a better tailor. Maybe you are on to something.
As I recall his getaway driver was Jamie Gorelick. You would need a trowel and 5 pounds of lipstick to make her porcine puss palatable. I don’t think Todd Palin would “do” her without a quart of Tequila, a Viagra IV, and several paper bags for her head in case the first two broke. A coyote ugly chew off your arm lest you wake her doxie with the soul of a felon who followed her Mandingo boss to fortune. God, but I love America!
Read this carefully. I’ll write slowly.
If there is no one in Boston who knows anything about the Trivium there must be one book left that discusses it. Find that book. Go to the part on Rhetoric. Look for the term tu quoque. See if you can figure out what’s going on here.
20 years, a score as Lincoln said, later and you still are in denial about Willie Horton’s Odyssey. Considering that your 1988 answer to the hypothetical question about what you would do if your wife was raped and murdered covered all the third rails of modern American Liberalism – motivation, background, intention, pre-school nurturing, self esteem, high fat diet, Was he bullied as a child, non-competitive schools, peer group pressure, residual institutional racism, undiagnosed ADD or ADDHD and no Thorazine in sight – perhaps I can see why you still can’t accept Orwell’s fundamental truths.
“…the solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard.
Water is wet. Objects unsupported fall towards the earth’s center…”
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the other Fannie Mae ad features James Johnson.
He’s White.
Did he murder anyone?

RE: “Be a patriot. Step up and pay more taxes” or so you say
Senator Curley,
I mention the specifics – Judge, Court, and case – because you don’t hold attribution in the highest regard.
A bouquet, of schandefreude surrounds you – almost like Justice Douglas’s beloved permutations – when you open your gob. Who knows what is coming out next? The umbrella term covering it would normally be “rhetorical incontinence”. If I believed the clap trap nonsense about your “blue collar” roots I would call it “verbal diarrhea”. Since the only time “blue collar” would apply to you would be after a trip to Brooks Brothers Shirt aisle I can’t.
There is an urge to poleax you with the quote from Samuel Johnson – the original Doctor J, if you will – about “patriotism” but it would be out of context. Doubtless you are a “scoundrel” but it can’t apply to you in this instance. Drat.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in any of the better “blue collar” bars in Bayonne, New Jersey. Suffice to say but if you stuck a finger in any patron’s chest and told him to “work on his pecs” you would have it snapped off and stuffed up your nose. I say nose because there may have been ladies present.
Is it true that you were raised in what was/is known as Chateau Country in Wilmington, Delaware?
Were there any shop classes at Archmere Academy when you were there? How about working on engines?
Do you and Senator Kennedy [D-Ma] and Senator Rockefeller [D-WVa] gather in a saloon, one that has a juke box and a pool table, tossing back some shots and beers and talk about the good old “blue collar” days? If you do it must be a hoot.
You and the missus – that’s the way “blue collar” guys talk about their wives – averaged about a quarter of million dollars a year in income in the paste 10 years. 10 X $250,000 equals $2,500,000, right? How many extra bucks did you send voluntarily to the Treasury in those 10 years?
If you sent none would that make you less of a patriot? Would it make you more of a scoundrel?
Maybe I should revisit the quote about scoundrels and patriots.

Mr. Wyman,
Shades of Casablanca!
“I’m shocked. Shocked.”
11 years ago, partly as a lark brought on by Broward County’s desperate attempt to give a hotel to a Black man, I lead an effort to –A- establish a minority owned company and –B- leach a la a lamprey eel onto the perpetually lactating mammary of minority set asides.
The part about the hotel, the Black man, and the eternally guilt ridden modern American Liberal Broward County Board of County Commissioners is Broward County writ large, isn’t it?
R. Donahue Peeples, and I still hope that the “R” stands for Rex as in Rex et Imperator, wanted to get a “free” hotel in Broward County. Having gotten a “free” hotel in Miami Beach he figured it would be “nothing but net” to euchre the rubes in Broward County.
Alas, unlike Miami Beach where he got an existing building for “free”, he would have to build a new one here. The simple solution would have been to sell his most favored spot at the Gravy Chain station to one of the major hotel chains. He would have toasted his great good fortune while the nit-wits who run this county could have come down from the Cross of White Guilt for at least a while.
Unfortunately he needed financing.
He had a quasi commitment from the Bank of Sark. It was written on a cocktail napkin with the appropriate stains and smudges. One of them erased the phone number. He had a promise from a bank in Death Valley that was only open on Tuesday nights. Their promise of construction financing was a contract that was only binding at parties and then only within the octave of one of our suns rising in the West. He, as Trollope said, “had no tin”.
I founded a company with 3 minorities as principals. The goal was to solicit minority set aside business.
I was immediately solicited by Broward County, the Broward County Board of Education, TRI-RAIL, the North Broward Hospital District, and the State of Florida. They wanted me to bid on an astonishing number of contracts. Each of the above named entities had people ready to help me in the bidding process. [Isn’t current County Commissioner Eggelettion on the public pad at the Board of Education as a “diversity expert”? Charles Dickens had a great line – “I’ll retire to Bedlam” – that would apply here.
I got the project to the point where lower case perjury would have been required to “matriculate the ball down the field”. Employees of several of the above named entities had perfected their blind eye routine. I chose to remember that “when a man is upon oath he holds his soul in his hands as if it were water. He opens them at his peril.”
Now I read that $37,700,000 of Federal Funds for air port and mass transit projects has gone walkabout.
Like I said, “I’m shocked. Shocked.”
One last thing.
You say “the agency lacked detailed procedures to set goals and then monitor participation”.
After all these years, after all those noble intentions, after all that money, can someone, anyone, tell me the difference between a “goal” and a “quota”?

Perhaps you’ve forgotten. For treaties to become law they must be confirmed by 2/3rds of the Senate. A long and sometimes contentious process is necessary before this country commits to it. Versailles? Rejected. SALT 2? Kyoto? Never submitted.
Perhaps you’ve forgotten. In 1960 there was a contentious foreign policy issue in the Presidential campaign. Perhaps you’ve forgotten your geography. Quemoy and Matsu are in sight of mainland China. They flew the flag of Taiwan. Mainland China used to bombard them on an odd/even bombing schedule to show their humanity. There was a question of whether or not the United States would go to war with Red China over them. Senator Kennedy said
“Any place is defensible if free men choose to do so.”
Perhaps I’ve forgotten. Refresh my memory. The difference between Quemoy and Matsu and Georgia is…is…what?
In 1805 a United States war ship was anchored in Tunisia. There was ongoing domestic unrest. The wife of an American citizen was in danger. The Captain asked, “Do you want the protection of the American flag?” She said, “Yes.”
Perhaps you’ve forgotten. Were we not told that “we will pay any price, bear any burden in defense of liberty”? We don’t get to pick and choose the places to keep our promises. Perhaps you’ve forgotten.

RE: Arthur Miller’s “courageous refusal in 1956” – “It ain’t necessarily so”, or so said Sportin’ Life.
Ms. Andrews,
In the current issue of Vanity Fair you speak of Arthur Miller’s 1956 “courageous refusal to Name Names before the House un-American Activities Committee”.
When he “courageously refused” to do so what happened to him?
Was he tried a la Bukharin in 1938? You may recall that Bukharin was found guilty and, in typical KGB protocol, was shot in the face on the way back to his cell. His family was billed for the cost of the execution.
Was he defenestrated – and if that isn’t one of my favorite words it’s close, glossololia being the other one – a la Jan Masaryk in 1948?
Was he Gulaged a la Alexander Solzhenitsyn for saying that the Big Boss Man had a moustache?
1956 was the year that the Soviet Union invaded Hungary wasn’t it? As I recall the only domestic use for the United States Army in the ‘50s was the occupation of Little Rock, Arkansas. Republican Eisenhower said that if Democrat Faubus would not enforce a Federal court order the United States Army would. I was a teenager at the time but I don’t recall the Army invading Greenwich Village to root out the malcontents, however irksome they may have been. Do you?
It seems that the only honorable thing Miller did with regard to his son was that he did not call out for “more stone” as an alternative therapy.

RE: Have you ever heard of Jonathan Swift?
Precious Bambi,
It’s tough enough what with you trying to memorize the 57 or 58 states – How many ways can you spell potato? – while trying to find the seldom seen “Nitally Lion” in the embittered, gun clinging wilds of Pennsylvania. By now you realize that the perfect Joe Biden action doll will have but one foot. The missing one will be so far down his throat that it could give nuggies to his sternum.
It gets worse. I tell you, as a true friend and trusted adviser, that you have some absolutely moronic “moonbats” running around the country singing your song,
It’s almost as if Lee Atwater is leading a Halleluiah Chorus. How else can you explain why a whole bunch of mush brained celebrity farts begin to chant
Jesus was a Community Organizer.
Pontius Pilate was a Governor.
Does that mean that should Governor Palin become Vice President she would crucify you?
Perhaps a deeper knowledge of 20th Century American History could have prevented this gaffe. Your daughters go to a very expensive private grammar school. Maybe the school has a library you could visit. Maybe it has some books on the subject.
T. Woodrow Wilson – and his name cannot be mentioned without recalling that Thurgood Marshall always said he was the most racist President ever, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jimmy E. Carter, and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton were Governors before they became President.
President Wilson, after having a private viewing of “The Birth of a Nation” in the White House, said, “The film is History”. I can find no record of him favoring crucifixion. Floggings and lynchings, yes. Crucifixion, no.
The same for Roosevelt, Carter, and Clinton.
Wait a minute. I don’t mean they were in favor if floggings and lynchings. I mean that because they were governors it doesn’t mean that they were in favor of crucifixions. It’s confusing, I know.
How about this?
Republican Governors are in favor of crucifixions. Only one Democratic Governor was in favor of floggings, lynchings, and crucifixions, OK?
One more thing.
My extensive foreign sources, all of whom are confidential and will remain anonymous, have confirmed that you have more siblings than John McCain has houses. You should update your Kwanzaa list.
