Debbie Waaaasermouth Schultz Still Trying To Tie Jared Loughner To the Teaparty





I sent this vivacious beauty a jar of Hellmans mayonnaise for her hair. She said it works better then the Quaker State 10w30 she's been using. 





Democrats are still trying to exploit last January’s tragedy in Tucson by blaming  the Tea Party.






Meanwhile in the real world…






Jared Loughner is a mad man currently under psychiatric evaluation to see if he is even fit to stand trial. He has no ties to the Teaparty  but suffers from the same affliction as Debbie Waaaasermouth Shultz. 

He can't distinguish fact from fiction.

Greatest Movie Line Ever



On a tip from Keith Grant



Most people say the greatest movie line was Clark Gable's delivery to Vivien 
Leigh in Gone With the Wind: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
But the greatest, most accurate, and most timely movie line was Bob
Hope's from a real oldie with Paulette Goddard and Richard Carlson.
Enjoy the 20 second clip.

They’re back!





 Occupy Wall Street protesters return to Zuccotti Park after barricades come down 





Cops remove an Occupy Wall Street protester from Zuccotti Park after she tried to lie down on cardboard.
What do these people have in common with AIDS?
You can't get rid of either one.


Hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters streamed back into Zuccotti Park overnight Tuesday as the barricades surrounding the lower Manhattan plaza were finally removed.

The atmosphere turned celebratory as the campaigners hugged one another, enjoyed free lasagna and saw the resurrection of a small "People's Library."
The events were largely peaceful until 1:30 a.m. when a 50 to 70 protesters remained in the privately owned public space and a handful attempted to lie down on pieces of cardboard.


What they desperately need in NY.

Pieces of cardboard ain't gonna help.


The park's owner, Brookfield Office Properties, has banned the use of tents, tarps or sleeping bags and even forbids people lying down on the benches. The rules were introduced after hundreds of Occupy Wall Street demonstrators began camping out in the park in September. They stayed for nearly two months until cops evicted them Nov. 15.

"The park is enforcing the rules," an NYPD officer warned the protesters through a microphone.

"You are not allowed to lay down or sleep in the park.
"If you do not obey these orders, you will be arrested for trespassing. This is your final warning."

Some protesters shouted back, "Go home, terrorist!" while others carried handmade "angry pacifists" signs.

As park officials moved to confiscate the cardboard the group was on, a tussle ensued and two protesters were removed from the area in plastic handcuffs as the rest of the crowd shouted, "Shame, shame."

Occupy Wall Street protesters first took over Zuccotti Park, which by law is open 24 hours a day, on Sept. 17 as part of their campaign for greater social and economic equality.

Copycat encampments sprung up in hundreds of towns and cities across the U.S. and around the world.

After the New York protesters were booted in November's pre-dawn raid, they moved largely off-site.

Zuccotti Park was surrounded with metal barriers, and Brookfield sent in security guards to join cops in an attempt to enforce the no-sleeping rule and prevent the camp from re-emerging.

The number of NYPD officers and private guards at the site usually far exceeded the number of people who ventured into the barricaded space, and
on Monday, civil rights groups filed a complaint with the city Buildings Department that the barriers violated city zoning law.

The barricades were removed Tuesday.

"We're pleased the city is finally giving the park back to the people," said NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman said.

"We hope Zuccotti Park can now resume its rightful place as a center for meeting and protest in New York City."

I guess this just about sums it up.

What was that proverb excreted from the lips of Queen Nancy? 

“God bless them for their spontaneity, It’s young, it’s spontaneous, it’s focused and it’s going to be effective.”

Columbia Teaches How to "Occupy" at $5001.09




On a tip from Ed Kilbane










Recently, Columbia University in New York proposed offering a class in Occupy Wall Street. I suppose the class will teach people how to camp out in a city park. Under a continuation of the Obama administration, this might actually become a good life skill.

One facet of the class that I want to point out is its cost. There is an ongoing debate over the cost of a college education and if it is worth it. In general, a typical student completes a degree in four years. Masters students, course of study is compressed, two years. Time and money become a real constraint when selecting classes.

The cost for one year of undergraduate education at Columbia is roughly $53,345 all in. That includes room, board, books, tuition, and fees. Divide that by how many credit hours a normal student takes (32/yr) and you arrive at $1667.03 per credit hour. Masters students pay more per credit hour for their classes.

If you are borrowing money to go to school, the actual cost of the credit hour goes up because it will cost you more when you repay the loan. And if you are on government aid, the American taxpayer gets to pay for it!

Given that the Occupy Wall Street class is a three credit hour class, it costs an undergrad $5001.09 to learn how to camp out in a park and beat a drum while articulating a far left manifesto. I shouldn’t forget to mention that the student ought to consider what a future employer might think when they see that class on a transcript. I suppose if you are going to work for a far left non-government organization it would look favorable. But, I don’t think it will look particularly sharp if you are trying to get a job in a field like consulting.

If students began looking at classes on a cost/benefit basis and extrapolating how the chosen class will help them in the future, we would see less fluff and more real stuff. Maybe it’s not the actual cost of a college education that is the real problem. It’s the classes that are taken while they are there.

Kim Jung Un




Courtesy of Harvey Hallberg  USMC.....................





I am really concerned about North Korea's appointment of the "dear leader", Kim Jung Ill's youngest son to be the new leader of North Korea -- a nuclear power!

After all, Kim Jung Un (pronounced Kim's young-un?) had NO military experience whatsoever before daddy made him a four-star general in the military. This is a snot-nose twerp who has never accomplished anything in his life that that would even come close to military leadership: he hasn't even so much as led a cub scout troop, let alone coached a sports team or commanded a military platoon. So, setting that aside, next they make him the "beloved leader" of the country. Terrific!!!

Oh, crap! I'm sorry. I just remembered that we did the same thing here, we took a community organizer who has never worn a uniform and made him Commander-in-Chief; a guy who has never led anything more than an ACORN demonstration and made him the leader of this country. Never mind.
