Concussion prevents Hillary from Testifying... Next Week

That's right. As reported by Fox News recently. Our Secretary of State fainted and hit her head causing a concussion. Plausible that it could happen. Causing her to be so out of it she cannot testify five days away is a bit less.



Not saying there is anything funny going on here. Just sayin its a bit funny that they already canceled her appearance five days away without waiting to see just how long she was affected by it. I understand that concussions can cause extreme discomfort and sensitivity to light and sound, both of which are in excess in a Senate hearing. However, to decide five days away that it isn't going to happen when a professional athlete will wait until the day of them running full speed into other large men in the case of football players before they make that decision, just seems a bit, well, fishy.

Gird your loins the Gun Grabbers are coming!!!

Before we get to the meat of this I would like to say a few things. First is the absence of The Handbook for the last few months. Those of you who have continued to visit us and read our previous musings are greatly appreciated.

Secondly to the families and friends of those affected by the senseless evil attacks on a kindergarten class in CT have our deepest thoughts and prayers. Our minds may never be able to comprehend why or how someone can commit such an atrocity against the most innocent in our society. The concept of dropping my child off at school to never see them again is more than I know I could ever handle. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering that those families are going through right now.

Ryan as VP is a great plan

I realize I haven't been around much this month. Sorry bout that. Trying to move and got a little busy and a few things suffered for it. Don't believe I haven't been thinking about this place though. We still have to stay vigilant and make sure we get Obama on the unemployment line come Nov.

All that out of the way. Congrats to Mitt Romney for not screwing this up. In Paul Ryan you have a man that will destroy Joe Biden in every debate that they have for the VP's provided Obama and Biden are man enough to actually agree to any. Which I still doubt they will agree to any more than 1 or 2 and with this pick I don't believe Obama has enough faith in Biden to go against someone like Paul Ryan and actually not look, well exactly like Joe Biden.

Just in case you forgot Republican Leadership still has no spine.

On Sept 30th the US Government is going to run out of money. How can this happen you ask? Simple a budget hasn't been passed by the US Senate in FOUR (4) years. That's how. Now there is a mad scramble to make sure that a continuing resolution gets passed before then to avert a government shutdown. Why such a rush? It's election season, didn't you get the memo? It's that time of year when nothing of substance can be done (not that it happens any other time either) for the fear of rocking the boat upsetting someone and possibly losing your job.

So Republican leadership is more than happy to negotiate cave to all Democratic demands for a 6 month CR to make sure they don't get any bad press.

Shocking: NYT still skewing polls

NYT and CBS teamed up with Quinnipiac to conduct a poll in OH, FL and PA. Shockingly they managed to make it look like Obama was running away with this election.

Personally I don't know as much about polling skews and weighting and all the crap that comes with polling. The guys over at Hot Air seem to have a pretty good handle on it and from the numbers they show for the polling it shows what my gut instantly knew. That the NYT and CBS made sure this poll came out the way that they wanted.

Is Scalial getting sqeemish on 2nd amendment?

I would argue no, since he has given us no indication that he forgot how to read the constitution, but I would have said that same thing about John Roberts a couple months ago. In an interview with Fox News he talks about possibilities of gun control getting through and in some cases being legal.

Rahm Emanual refuses to be out done; bans Chick-Fil-A from Chicago

I guess the fact that someone ran to the left of him and beat him to the punch only pissed him off so he figured he should get in on the action.

For the same reasons that Boston Mayor doesn't want Chick-Fil-A in his city, Rahm Emanual has decided the same thing. Once again tolerance and acceptance only happens when you share their beliefs. Speak out against the abomination that is gay marriage and get banned from two large cities.

Come out in favor of anti-semitism and you're in though. Those are apparently "Chicago values". That and stealing elections, doing everything to publicly destroy anyone who dares speak out against you, and just plain jackassery.

Glad we got that out of the way. Hadn't heard from him in a while and was beginning to wonder where he went.

Nope Voter Fraud doesn't exist. Except when it does.

So the next time you're out there complaining about how the voter ID laws need to pass to protect the sanctity of our election process and some loon tells you that voter fraud is a myth and doesn't happen just send him to Kentucky.

Obama begins pandering to Jews

I will go visit Israel, says Obama, but only if you elect me to a second term. Face it this is pure pandering at its best. He hasn't visited Israel since his campaign, but now claims he will in his second term. It's crap and we know it.

Chavez endorses Obama

And the hits just keep on coming. First Steny Hoyer talks about how the BBA would make it virtually impossible to raise taxes, then Chuch Schumer wants to curtail your first amendment rights, Obama himself comes out and tells every small business owner they would be useless without the government, and now this.

Boston Mayor vows no Chick-Fil-A

So the intolerant left has decided to step out there again and show the world they are only tolerant of those who agree with them. The newest case concerns the fast food restaurant Chick-Fil-A.

The founders of the chain were deeply religious Christians, hence why they are not open on Sundays. They prefer to allow their employees to be afforded the ability to observe the sabbath if they so choose. They have never been sued or accused of discrimination against anyone and yet the Boston Mayor has decided that such a hate filled organization shouldn't be allowed in his town.

This is much better

Michelle Malkin has a story updating at her site. It is much better than anything else youll do today. Just go there and see it.

The unthinkable tragedy in CO

Since in I'm in England I am sometimes a little behind on the news. Especially during the week. The tragedy that struck in CO this week was something that should never happen. When James Holmes opened fire on a Batman movie it was an unspeakable and senseless act that we will never understand.

How did this 24 year old grow up and decide that taking 12 innocent lives including a 6 year old  little girl for who knows what reason we will probably never really understand. I'm not sure that the human mind and psyche can understand and comprehend why people are driven to do things like this.


This type of crazed taking of life hurts the soul and makes you feel deeply for the families. A lot of people begin to come to terms with it by offering prayers and in some cases donations for the victims and their families.

Then there are some people who "never let a crisis go to waste."

Political Correctness responsible for 13 deaths.

You read that right. Being PC so you don't offend anyone actually resulted in 13 people dying. On top of the 32 others that were injured. Don't believe me? It happened in 2009. You might have heard about it. Some muslim officer in the Army went batshit crazy and killed some people at Ft. Hood. Maj. Nadal Hassan right a bell?

That's right. Now you remember. But whats this all about PC crap? Didn't the man with the gun kill them?

Dems have once again lost their minds.

First it was Steny Hoyer coming out and giving the Balanced Budget Amendment the greatest endorsement anyone could have ever dreamed about when he said that it would make it virtually impossible to raise taxes. Now Chuck Schumer wants to limit your 1st Amendment rights.

Yeah, and they are the smart party right?

Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II Honored by Poland

 


In a complete opposite of the reaction he got in the home he actually lived and governed in for 8 years by his own countrymen, Ronald Reagan was given a statue with Pope John Paul II. Best part about this is that it is in none other than Ronald Reagan Park.

Funny how the people who were truly freed by two great men seem to remember and honor them a lot better than a bunch of brain dead homos who seem to believe that he caused AIDS.

Yeah I said it.

Turns out that this entire thing was paid for by Solidarity Members who some spent time in prison for their active workings against the Communist Regime. 

Obama's bad month spills into July

I'm sure that once SCOTUS ruled in his favor on Obamacare, Obama likely thought he was out of the woods for a continuing headache. Turns out he was wrong. In Florida, likely a very important swing state, Obama and Holder just suffered a serious setback.

A judge recently ruled that Florida was completely within its rights to purge voter rolls of people who should not be there, you know illegal immigrants, and convicted felons, and in some cases dogs. Obama, Holder and Napolitano didn't like that plan. They actually hated that plan and sued to stop it. Then they lost. Now they have given up.

Tax plans will create NO growth.

The Democrats have circulated a tax plan that would cover the next year to see if they can get enough votes to get it passed. They are basically keeping the current tax rates (I refuse to call them tax cuts, since they have been the rates for 10 years) for everyone below 200,000 or 250,000 for families.

Republicans are no better, as they only want to extend the current rates for everyone for another year. Then the promise with a pledge they will absolutely do something in 2013. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Dissension among the Union Ranks

Everyone knows that all of the members of every union will not agree on everything the union does. It is no different than that of a normal grouping of random people, because of this differing views are prevalent. Take for instance the amount of money spent by unions on politics. Not every union member agrees that Democrats are the only way to go. That doesn't matter to the unions though, because the "leadership" thinks that Democrats are the only way to vote. Take into account that in some states workers are denied the most basic right of free choice and are forced to join unions and sometimes you are going to have problems. Unions are typically good at keeping those problems quiet though.

Today is not one of those days, however.

Obama wants to let UN take away your gun rights.

The UN is right now, negotiating a treaty called the Arms Trade Treaty. This is a treaty that the Bush administration had refused to even be a part of the negotiations on. Barack Obama, however, decided that negotiating with a bunch of crack heads that hate the US is a good policy plan. If this treaty were to pass it would open up private gun ownership records of American citizens to such trustworthy foreign governments as Iran.

But I'm sure that our government would never allow our 2nd Amendment rights to be trampled. Right?
