Michael Moore on the Bail Out Hearings

Mikey says: "I began my day today in Washington, D.C. I went to the U.S. Senate and got into their Finance Committee's hearing on the Wall Street bailout. The overseers wanted to know how the banks spent the money. And many of these banks won't tell them. They've taken trillions and nobody knows where the money went. It certainly didn't go to create jobs, relieve mortgage holders, or free up loans that people need. It was so shocking to listen to this, I had to leave before it was over. But it gave me an idea for the movie I was shooting."

What are the chances his movie puts all the blame on George W. Bush and Rush Limbaugh?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali Glenn Beck from early 2007

Another oldie but goodie. Everything mentioned is more threatening now than when this was filmed. She says that on 9-11-01 Osama bin Laden was trying to create a situation where all Muslims had to choose between his interpretation of Islam or side with the Westerners. Muslims still do not speak out against the insanity in their midst. And American lefties seem to think their biggest problem is Rush Limbaugh. Wow! And then they call Republicans stupid. They might be willfully blind but every time they pull their heads out of the sand they throw out an accusation at someone, the most common seem to be racism (apparently victimless), hate and stupidity. Meanwhile the Caliphate advances.

Penn Jillette on Borrowing

This is from a CNN op-ed piece, exactly as Patterico quoted it:

Obama tells us that we can spend our way out of debt. He tells us that even though the government had control over the banks and did nothing to stop the bad that’s going on, if we give them more control over more other bank-like things, then they can make sure bad stuff doesn’t happen ever again. He says we can get out of all those big wars President Bush caused by sending more troops into Afghanistan. And I don’t know. I really don’t know.

I trusted my Dad that turning into a skid would work. I trusted my carny mentor, Doc Swan, that closing my mouth around a burning torch would put it out. They were right. Maybe the United States borrowing more money than I could imagine in a billion years with a billion computers and a billion monkeys typing on them, will get us out of financial trouble. I really don’t know. It’s certainly true that many counterintuitive things are true, and when you have the guts to do something counterintuitive that works, it’s really cool. It’s a superpower under our yellow sun.

But there are some things that are just intuitive. Did you know, that if you’re going 100 mph, directly at a very, very thick, reinforced concrete wall, and you speed up, so you’re accelerating right when you hit the wall that the accident you have is going to be much worse than if you’d jammed on the brakes as soon as you saw the wall at the end of the street? Did you know that? It’s exactly what everything you know and feel would tell you, and it’s exactly true. Most times when you’re driving, or playing with fire, or handling money, the thing that makes sense to you is also true.

I way hope we’re turning into a skid and not accelerating into a concrete wall.

Ezra Levant, Part 3

This might be considered old news since Mr. Levant's case is no longer before the human rights commission (he won). But we have not seen the last of such battles. The United Nations human rights council, while most people in the world lack the most basic human rights such as freedom of speech and assembly, has focused its attention on attacking as unacceptable free speech that offends Muslims. It is bizarre to read the reporting on this. It seems obvious that those passing these laws do even understand human rights and have been appointed by governments that deny basic human rights to their citizens. But those reporting this news for AP and the NYT and other such clueless organs recognize nothing unusual going on.

You'd Think a Democrat Would Know How To Queen Gift

This is from Ace of Spades HQ:

Can I be embarrassed about my Commander-in-Chief yet?

The President. . . of the United States. . . visits the Queen of England. . . our mother country. . .

. . .And he makes her a mix tape.

Even worse -- a mix tape of his own songs. From his garage band, Barack Obama & the Golden Unicorns.

Shift in Immigration Policy

Thankfully the Great One is not including congress in a major shift in government policy. That whole checks and balances thing can be so difficult for someone totally lacking in executive experience. And it only reinforces that government of the people, by the people and for the people delusion. This administration's motto is, "We won, get used to it." The subtext is, "It's all Bush and Rush's fault."

New Prez Has Already Broken Promise To Not Raise Taxes On Families Making LessThan $250,000

From Breitbart: " "I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."

"He repeatedly vowed "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."

"Now in office, Obama, who stopped smoking but has admitted he slips now and then, signed a law raising the tobacco tax nearly 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes, to $1.01. Other tobacco products saw similarly steep increases."
****************************************************************
What is the lesion? That Obama's "firm pledge" is neither firm nor really a pledge?

Diversity Row

Good site I recently ran across. It illustrates the difficulties of a family of progressives. It has modernish music. So far I've only listened with headphones but it sounds like it would sound best with the full Bose treatment.

A Tearful Barack Obama Addressed The Nation

A tearful Barack Obama addressed the nation without his beloved teleprompter. He said, "I resign as president of the United States. I can no longer live with all of the lies, blaming everyone else and trampling of great traditions. I can no longer respect myself if I continue to ignore the needs of every American while I take every call from George Soros and follow all of his orders. I am sick and tired of being in the power of every corporation, lobbyist and foreign interest group that donated to my campaign." He then turned to the salivating reporter from Fox News and added, "April Fool!" Then he smiled and said, "You should have noticed that this geek can't write as well as me."
