I know it isn’t quite that simple, but funny none the less.

Quote of the Day – Q.C. Edition
February 4, 2009Remember, history should be a lesson for us. It teaches us important things like “Unless you have an amazing quality control program in place for your offspring, maybe you shouldn’t go into the monarching business.” – Tam
Unfortunately, people have a disturbing knack for not learning from history, thus the “economic stimulus” bill.

Audience Participation Time V
February 2, 2009Breda had a post a little while ago about someone’s shocked horror finding out that Ken Blackwell had SEVEN GUNS! Thinking about it, I figure that you need at least 5 in a basic, but well rounded collection (I need to “finish” my collection.) Shotgun, centerfire rifle and handgun, rimfire rifle and handgun. And probably a second centerfire rifle, (small caliber, .223 range, and a larger caliber) as well as full size and compact handguns.
In the comments, what is your minimum that you would consider to cover the major needs?

Where’s the Outrage?
February 2, 2009From Breda:
She’s referring to the silence and inaction from the .fed about the ice storms in Kentucky that have killed dozens, and left hundreds of thousands without power in freezing weather.
Consider this:
Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration’s “unconscionable ineptitude” in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.
President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.
Copied directly from whitehouse.gov, Obama rails on Bush’s “unconscionable ineptitude” while hundreds of thousands of Americans are suffering without power. Where is the outrage? Can you imagine if John McCain had eaten hundred dollar steaks in the middle of “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression” and this was happening? The media outrage would be deafening.
But because it’s a bunch of people in an less fashionable part of the country, and it’s the Obamasiah, not the reviled Bush ignoring it, there is no outrage. There is barely reporting of it. We don’t have Mike Meyers and Kanye West on the tube talking about how Obama doesn’t care about white people.
More empty rhetoric from Obama, more quiet complacency from the media.

More MSM Bias
February 2, 2009I already mentioned FOX falling in with the media SOP of downplaying the party if a Democrat is involved in a scandal, but now we have this:
Link – “Israel Bombs Gaza“
Story – Hamas attacks Israel, Israel fires back.
Headlines are one of the ways media bias shows up. Reading the front page link, you get the impression that Israel attacked Hamas, not the other way around. Maybe if you know the politics of the region, you could infer that most likely Hamas started it, but certainly not from the headline. “Israel retaliates for rockets” “Israel retaliates with bombs” “Clash in Gaza” or a hundred other headlines would be more honest about what actually happened.
Is this a big deal? The story set it straight, so what’s the harm? Bigger than you might think, considering the number of people that just read headlines, and are met with a constant barrage of Israel attacking Hamas, and whatever other things the headlines warp.
I am not saying that Fox is not being enough of a Republican shill, I would really prefer that the media just report the news, and not be a shill for anyone. But let’s stop claiming that they are.

No wonder the Democrats are for higher taxes
February 2, 2009Only the little people pay them.
A second Obama appointee has been exposed as a tax cheat, and so far lacks the integrity to step down. HHS nominee Tom Daschle is behind about $146,000 in taxes, following Tim Geithner.
The Democrats apparently think it’s fine to raise taxes on everyone else, and then just not pay them. Makes it easy. But if a corporation or CEO uses legal means to minimize their taxes, they are cheats, unpatriotic, etc.
And to top that off, healthcare goups paid Daschle $220k. No conflict of interest for the Secretary of Health and Human Services there. Move along, nothing to see here, folks.
If George Bush or John McCain nominees had any of this sort of thing, the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) would have been in hysterics, but not if they are Obamasiah appointees.
It’s past time for the Obama administration to show some of the character they keep talking about, and demand that Daschle resigns.
