Paycheck Fairness Act

I remember watching, and for the very first time, George Will debate someone on ABC over the notion of "comparable worth".

That was somewhere around 1983? Can I look that up somehow? Just looked and "early 1980s is the most precise.

I was an instant fan, he wiped up the floor with whatever pathetic sap had the untenable opposition.

So now, again, the Paycheck Fairness Act?

Just read the list of players, ugh.

I have been saying for quite some time that in the circles I witness the women are doing better than the men.

At any rate this act is horrendous. Read it and form your own conclusions.

I condemn all of our political and media class, wholeheartedly, as is well known.

The Constitution

Here is an article in the Economist which anyone with a portion of thinking matter may fisk and quite easily.

Essentially the writer believes that "Tea-Partiers" fetishize the Constitution to a degree which is incompatible with modern realities and that they have their histories and contemporary pragmatisms completely in error.

The comments are amusing.

I did like this one.

The author of the article is clearly too self-worshiping to feel uncomfortable at the witness of his own febrile reasoning and public beclowning.

Time Magazine

Has a bit on the Top Ten Toilets.

Time and Newsweek were horrendous in the 1980s, absolutely awful. I tried to cancel my parents subscription with a letter, was complimented on my writing but the folks vetoed the cancellation. I continued to read with morbid fascination. They declined and degraded and...it's almost indescribable how awful they are now. Time and Newsweek, understand. You must actually pick up an issue, any recent will do, and show someone. They won't believe how bad they are. Let me take a moment to once again shake my head in consideration of that ass Mr. Meacham.

Anyhow, let me add one more crapper to the list--yes, Time magazine.

via Atlas Shrugs, which reminds me to go look at how bad LGF has become. Not going to hypertext to that sad lost soul, wow, he also boggles the mind.

Mohamed was a vile disgusting individual. Here is a post with a video of an actual stoning, if it were committed by any group other than muslims the media and the female advocates would be screaming from the rooftops. Do they hold their tongues because they hate the West so much, because they hate and think the muslims incapable of humanity, or because on some level they hate themselves?

Even more gruesome and heart wrenching, even more chilling is this letter from an encounter...well, brace yourself and read it all, please.

Where is the outrage on the left and in the media. Where is the relentless flight of lawyers and journalists and condemnations from jackasses like Barak...oh...never mind.

They are too busy condemning the number of ice creams available to prisoners in Gitmo and condemning the tolerant West.

God Damn the fourth estate, the left and the U.N.

Houston

Jimmy has some photos up of his recent trip to Houston, and they are very nice, as always.

Islamic Tolerance

via Mary Katherine Ham's twitter this bit of genuine encouragement.

Muslims signing on to sanity and decency.

I will simply link and take some measure of appreciation, and not think about the notion of Taqiyya for a few moments, anyway.

Taqiyya for Dummies.

New Fellers

There seem to be two new little adorable critters abouts in the last several days.

One apparently goes by the moniker of Columbus, and the other the name Mendel.

They are cute, and I plan on taking photos tomorrow.

Very young, I believe they met the air in July.

What the heck is better than a puppy? Two?

A Lil' Video

Me and Adam were talkin' and this seemed like a nice clip to post.

Moscow Commute

I've seen some of the sick POV car and motorcycle clips, but this one is really stunning.

Would be surprised if this individual were still alive or had not killed by now.

Try watching the whole thing

Auntie Zeituni

Is she a stealth advocate against Obama's policies and assistance?

Confusingly, perhaps...at any rate she owes nothing to anyone and may pull Obama's ears and generally smack him around as she deems fit.

Two parts, though it is clear much is edited. I would love to see the entire uncut time frame.

Anyone who agrees to an interview without setting up some simple camera to record it for their own records as well is a fool in this day and age. That's probably a tea party rule.

Zeituni's clips via DC TRawler:





I have had some suggestions on the dimensions of the videos, they don't appear to be helping. I recommend clicking and watching them on the youtube format...here, and here, they are compelling pieces, however, and I am surprised, stunned at the very least, that the fourth estate opened an eye at all! Good times!

Data

I do enjoy data and associated resources.

Here is a fine site for films:

http://boxofficemojo.com/

Where the url is reasonably workable I have taken to posting it and hyperlinking it.

I have noticed a couple of words in the archives which are hyperlinked with no clue as to where to pursue the information when said link is dead. This may look awkward but may help someone digging in the future, so I lean toward helping the info digger. You may have noticed it recently and you shall see more anon.

Jimmy in TX

I am hoping Jimmy is having a lovely time of it along his journey to the Gulf of America.

I am rooting for him and I think that I will give him a call this afternoon on his spanky new cell phone device.

I understand you merely keep this device charged up with that new fangled electricity juice and then, if you must and need to, you can use it to communicate with a much wider world than the one which is apparent to the naked eye as you peruse your immediate environment.

I say that seems a little far fetched, no pun intended, and I will put this claim to the test, perhaps this very afternoon.

Check back for results!

A Fine Mess: Scientifically Founded and Tested Reason...Honest American Conclusions!!!

That's why the world attributes us such a hard won and jealously guarded reputation!!!

Carry on and God Bless this nation and all of it's recent losses and their kin!

Homer Simpson

I am very very interested in what this auction brings.

I have never seen the full size Weber Simpson anniversary edition up for auction, though I check on a regular basis.

The small ones are around, but this gentleman has another 3 days left and for such a unique piece I am surprized there is not a heck of a lot more attention already.

Early yet, I suppose.

Mine is in the box, never opened.

Please wait

Mole

I spotted the intruder recently and laid out my strategies.

Then I waited.

I finally apprehended the mole, he had been operating right amongst my most personal matters, he had access to everything.

I gave him a thorough sounding with the old school sticky pad treatment.

I wasn't sure he would make it, but I managed to get my information and I can say to you that he has nothing good to tell his blokes back at home base.

I never knew they were so stretchy, those informants, or, if you must "moles".

That's all

Carry on...

D'nesh D'souza

Boortz points to an excellent article examining Obamas motives and internal calculus.

I have mentioned D'souza before and do believe he was wrongly set upon by his own pack out of the most childish of motives: fear of appearing uncool.

He was right that Western laciviousness is a motivating factor to the Islamic insanity and we won't countenance it in the least.

Your daughter has tattoos and piercings and is wearing a thong while she cheats on her 40th boyfriend? Never question the sexual revolution.

Read material from the Koran and Hadith which would have you kill her?

That's O.k. for you exotic muslims.

Want to burn the books which advocate killing the whores?

Now you have to go...

The sad mind of the Dhimmis.

Anyway his examination of Obama is also compelling, I think that Dinesh deserves an apology from his own camp, I only hope he maintains his own compass with strength and vigor as he moves through these times, he is an asset to us all.

He concludes his piece in Forbes quite well:

"Colonialism today is a dead issue. No one cares about it except the man in the White House. He is the last anticolonial. Emerging market economies such as China, India, Chile and Indonesia have solved the problem of backwardness; they are exploiting their labor advantage and growing much faster than the U.S. If America is going to remain on top, we have to compete in an increasingly tough environment.

But instead of readying us for the challenge, our President is trapped in his father's time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost."

Paddy sent over this audio regarding a very bright orangutan named Fu Man Chu whose escape routine would make Houdini proud.
