Sonia Sotomayor

Sonia Sotomayor. You can't pronounce it S-O-T-O....M-A-Y-O-R. Like a Mayor of a city. No...you have to pronounce it with a certain Spanish inflection.... rolling the R. Thusly..... Soto-Mayorrrr.

Lindsey Grahamesty (Rush's name for him after he tried to pass the Shamesty Bill with McCain) tried to grill her but then added "he liked her". He also said, "unless there was a complete meltdown she was a shoe in to be confirmed". A real grill-master that one.

Republicans are in a war they can not win.Strategically, Obama really gave us the high hard one. For starters he could have appointed someone akin to Adolph Hitler and there is nothing the Republicans can do about it! But now, as the they oppose Soto-Mayorrr, they will be perceived in the spotlight as being against women and Hispanics.

Besides the "wise Latino" comment she made:

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life."

Imagine if a white guy said:

"I would hope that a wise Caucasian male with the richness of his experiences would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion then a Black or Hispanic who hasn't lived that life"."

There would be no confirmation hearing because he would have been ridden out of town on a rail!

I think what sticks out is 8 out of 10 of the most important legal decisions she ever made were later overturned by a higher court. It is good in one way because the bad decisions she made were corrected. The killer is she was born June 25, 1954. She has a projected life expectancy of 27.1 years. Since Supreme Court Justices serve a life term (something that should be corrected) she has 27.1 years of making bad decisions.

In the future the fireman are revisited:

In 2010 the FRA (better know has the Fireman Reform Act) is passed by congress. It dictates that White fireman that take a test for a promotion and pass, while Black an Hispanic fireman take the same test and fail. The test then will be deemed invalid. Another law suit is filed and it goes to the Supreme Court. Soto-Mayorrr sides with congress.

In 2011 the FRA is amended by congress what is commonly called The Pelosi-Reid Amendment. It now is amended to read: If all White fireman take a test for promotion and fail, and all Black and Hispanic fireman pass the test, the test is deemed valid. A lawsuit is filed. Soto-Mayorrr sides with congress.

When asked how she came up with that decision she said, Hey.... What's fair is fair.

In 2012 you won't have to press one for English because that option will no longer be available. All boxes containing merchandise in Home Depot and Lowes, as with all retailers, will have Spanish on all four sides; thus avoiding the aggravating problem of turning the box around to find out what the hell it says in English. Once inside the box no more turning the directions up side down and inside out to read it in English because there won't be any.

Thank God that problem is resolved.

PS: I would like to extend my congratulations to Stuart Smalley on becoming a senator. From the fine state that also gave us Jesse Ventura.

Thanks Minnesota!

This Proves What An Incompetent Asshole Barney Frank Is

This is a statement released 2 days ago from the WSJ.

By DEBORAH SOLOMON

The Treasury Department expects an initial payback from the nation's largest banks of at least $50 billion in bailout funds, according to people familiar with the matter, double the amount the government initially expected to recoup.

---

(In more ways then one)

Already Barney Frank has announced he intends to use this money to bailout foreclosed homeowners. Isn't that why we are in the trouble in the first place??? Does this fucking asshole ever read statistics!

(Should be his mug shot. Makes Madoff look like a rank amateur)

In general, the more loans you modify, the higher the percentage of redefaults: In the first quarter of 2008, 68,001 loans were modified, and 40,206, or 59 percent, of those have ended up 30 days late again, or worse. In the first quarter of 2009, 185,156 loan mods were done, and of those, 120,067, or 64 percent, ended up in trouble.

Our government is like a dog trying to catch its own tail. Giving money to a Democrat is like crack to a drug addict. Why not use the money to bring down the debt? Pure and simple. This is just a blatant attempt to buy votes with taxpayer money!

There is no Earthly reason why Frank should be re-elected. Yet it will happen. Kerry, Kennedy, and Frank. Provided by Massachusetts; a state noted for stupidity.

Cussing In Church

I couldn't resist this one.

A crusty old man walks into the local Baptist Church and says to the secretary, "I would like to join this damn church." The astonished woman replies, "I beg your pardon, sir. I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?" Listen up, damn it. I said I want to join this damn church!' 'I'm very sorry sir, but that kind of language is not tolerated in this church.

The secretary leaves her desk and goes into the pastor's study to inform him of her situation.

The pastor agrees that the secretary does not have to listen to that foul language. They both return to her office and the pastor asks the old geezer, 'Sir, what seems to be the problem here?' 'There is no damn problem,' the man says. 'I just won $200 million bucks in the damn lottery and I want to join this damn church to get rid of some of this damn money.'

"I see," said the pastor. "And is this bitch giving you a hard time?"

We The People Stimulus Package

What A Waste Of Time And Money

Story below


Point No. 1

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, already incarcerated in a super max prison, (a terrorist, no matter what he calls himself) was brought to NY from Gitmo, and with the advice of his lawyer pleaded "not guilty."

Highlighted below in red he admits providing the explosives to blow up the US Embassy in Tanzania in 1998 killing more then 200 people. He offered up some lame excuse that he was the one who delivered the explosives; but he didn't know they would actually use it. Sounds like he is taking a cue from Pelosi.

We are at war folks! These guys are not your run of the mill criminals. They are POW's. They should be tried at Gitmo by a military tribunal and if found guilty they should receive whatever they deem necessary including the death penalty.

Point No 2.

Timothy McVey was a home grown terrorist. As you know he blew up the Murrah building killing 168 people. There was a day care center in the building. When asked how he felt about killing the
children his response was "collateral damage". He was rightfully put to death.

His sidekick Terry Nichols was somehow spared the death penalty. He was sentenced to 161 consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. His trial cost 17 million dollars. There are about 250 POW's who are going to be brought here and tried individually. Do the math.


Didn't both Democrats and Republicans just vote against funding this?

Profile: Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani

Ghailani denies being a member of al-Qaeda.

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani faces charges of war crimes over the US embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998, which killed more than 200 people.

Mr Ghailani, a Tanzanian, was arrested in Pakistan in July 2004 and handed over to the US at the beginning of 2005.

He was one of 14 detainees transferred in September 2006 from secret CIA prisons abroad to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba.

Charges brought by the Pentagon in March 2008 include murder, attacking civilians, conspiracy and providing material support to terrorism.

The Pentagon was reported at the time to be seeking the death penalty if the conviction is successful.

According to the transcript of a closed-door hearing in March 2007, Mr Ghailani admitted delivering explosives used to blow up the US embassy in Tanzania in 1998.

However, he said he did not know about the attack beforehand and apologized to the US government and the victims families, the transcript said.

'Scouting the embassy'

A short, squat man in his 30s, Mr Ghailani is said to have had dozens of aliases, including "Foopie" and "Ahmed the Tanzanian".

He was number eight on the FBI's most wanted list - his baby-faced photograph belying the severity of the charges on which he was indicted by New York authorities in 1998.

The Tanzania and Kenya bombings were almost simultaneous

The Tanzanian national is accused of buying the truck that carried the bomb used in the Dar es Salaam attack.

He and his accomplices are also accused of buying oxygen and acetylene tanks used to enhance the force of the explosion.

He is also said to have escorted the bomb maker between Dar Es Salaam and the Kenyan city of Mombasa after the bomb was made as well as scouting the US embassy with the suicide bomb driver.

The near-simultaneous bombings in August 1998 killed 213 people in Nairobi and 11 people in Dar Es Salaam as well as injuring thousands more.

'Significant arrest'

Mr Ghailani is thought to have been born on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar in 1970 or 1974 - making him 39 or 35 years old. He is said to speak fluent Swahili and English.

Analysts described him as a very important figure, who was probably sent to east Africa at the time of the bombings by Osama Bin Laden's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

It is suggested that Mr Ghailani fled to Afghanistan after being indicted in 1998.

According to the US transcript, he admitted visiting an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan after the bombings. But he denied being a member of al-Qaeda.

Mr Ghailani was reported to have been in the Liberian capital, Monrovia, in 2001, with another suspect in the embassy bombings, a Kenyan man Fazul Abdullah Mohammed.

The UK's Observer newspaper reported in 2002 that the two men allegedly ran a lucrative al-Qaeda financing operation, trading illegal "blood diamonds" for cash.

The paper said the operation ran into trouble in June 2001, when reports reached al-Qaeda that Mr Ghailani and Mr Mohammed were lavishing money on women, presents and alcohol.

In May 2003, the FBI named Mr Ghailani on a list of seven people it suspected of concocting a fresh al-Qaeda plot, and increased the bounty on his head to $5m.

On 25 July 2004 he was arrested in Pakistan along with his Uzbek wife.

Pakistani officials at the time said Mr Ghailani's arrest was the most significant since the detention in March 2003 of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the 11 September attacks on the US.
