Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Hello
Just got a tiny break in the action to post this note – I logged on earlier briefly to release messages held in moderation and ended up having to sift through over 1000 spam messages. I know I deleted a couple of legit comments by mistake … if yours was one, I’m very sorry. I was in a rush to try to get legit comments out of moderation while deleting spam along the way and a couple of comments got caught in the crossfire.
Swamped today still, but wanted to check in and let ya’ll know that. Consider this an open thread as I know there are issues to discuss that I have not had time to blog about the last couple of days.

Hi Back!!!
FOX is showing the two stop motion cam video shots of the United Plane as it strikes the Pentagon. These videos were just released by the Defense Department as a result of a freedom of information suit, but were actually held up awaiting completion of the Moussouai trial.
Viewed same. The material is so sparse it will probably tend to expand rather than deter the conspiracy nut cases. Worse some of the material shows evidence that the plane hit the ground and bounced up into the building, which will only encourage the LGM worshippers to vibrate on and on about this.
- Bottom line. Too little to be of any help in afixing exactness to the event, and just more “proof” for the unhinged.
- Bang
“…unhinged.”
BBH – thinking of Blubonnet over on Dana’s blog?

Earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, hurricanes, flooding in the Northeast, alligators eating humans in Florida, and now – the BUBONIC PLAGUE in Utah? Unbelievable. Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah has closed some of its campgrounds because rangers have found a large number of dead mice that have been determined to have the plague.
Here’s the link:

Let’s hope they get this under control FAST.
- Hmmmmm….Utah…. Must be G_ds wrath…(couldn’t resist)
- To go along with the biblical proportion rains in Mass….
- Bang
Another step in the morphing of Europe into Eurabia. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somalia-born member of the Dutch Parliament and vocal critic of Islam’s treatment of women, has resigned her seat and plans to leave the Netherlands.
I doubt that open-border Democrats and the MSM will be happy if she winds up moving to the USA. In their view only illegals from Mexico should be allowed to cross our borders. Critics of Islam (particularly Islamofascism) need not apply.
Mwa – Shes already applied, and expects to be accepted, according to the Console General in Wash. Mark one up for the good guys.
- Bang
“Mwa – Shes already applied, and expects to be accepted, according to the Console General in Wash. ”
Doesn’t she have to wait in line? I hear that illegals are skipping ahead of the line.
- I’m going to refrain from pouring koolaide over your head on this one andrew, and just chalk up to the usual moonbat hopes for aything contrarian as usual. She’s obviously seeking political asylum, but I understand thats beyond your reach, so now you know. Good old “patriotic” left, always looking for anything, Anything, they can find to bad mouth their own country or Bush. Must be sheer hell being a lefty these days; The analyst costs must be staggering to get rid of all that parnoia and self loathing.
- In a related note, now that the entire Security Council in Congress will be briefed today on the NSA surveillance program, the wheels are coming off the moonbats “AnythingGate” #24, coupled with the total denials by 2 of the 3 major telecommunications companies named by the Liberal drive-by media, accused falsely of turning over “millions” of Americans phone records”, which somehow mysteriously got re-reported in a myriad of Liberal polito-rags as “wire-tapping millions of Americans”.
- I know what they really were doing, but I’ll let the tin-foil hat crowd twist in the breeze, and wake in night sweats. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Benedict Arnolds. The ongoing mystery is why Liberals stay in this “terrible country”, or for that matter, why countless millions of people from all over the world are ready and willing to do anything to get into this “hell-hole”.
- Don’t expect this full disclosure to quiet the yammering of the Left though. They don’t even trust their own Senators and Congressmen. BDS is apparently all but inccurable.
- Bang
I’m going to take a shot here and maybe I shouldn’t.
But ANDREW wrote with much confusion, “Doesn’t she have to wait in line? I hear that illegals are skipping ahead of the line.”
I’m not sure if you purposefully get it wrong or are sadly that confused but people come here with visa’s ALL the time. That IS LEGAL my confused fri… I mean coblogger.
It is illegal if you come here without a visa or just think you expect citizenship without waiting and paying like everyone else who does so legally.
Andrew that deserves a LOUD, “OOPS I MESSED UP!” from you. Let’s hear you say it.
- In another story connected with the upsurge of alligator attacks in Florida, a woman that had to fight off a gator that kept charging through her paatio door,trying to get at her, her daughter, and the family dog, finally had to resort to using the family firearm to drive the animal off, when a long shovel handle didn’t do the job. Police arrived and were also forced tyo shot at the aggressive beast, which then retreated back into tha canal behind the womans property.
- Incredibly the woman was given a warning citation for shooting the gator, and in an interview said she felt “lucky” it was only a warning. Sometimes I think this country has gone mad.
- Bang
Is this Dutch legislator being granted a green card for political asylum? That would be one reason she gets immediate attention.
andrew, no, you don’t get political asylum for wanting to get a better job. You have to face persecution and probable death in your home country. This woman fits those criteria.
Wait a minute – wasn’t Florida the first State to pass the ‘Castle Doctrine’ which permits the use of lethal force to repel an intruder in your own home? So I guess it’s okay to shoot a two legged burglar coming in your bedroom window, but when confronted by a 400 lb meat eating machine charging through your patio door, you’re only permitted to ask nicely for it to leave…
- Mwa, I’m sure the moonbats would say something like, “Well wild beasts wouldn’t come under the Castle Doctrine, because their not there to steal any of your property”.
- Your life apparently wouldn’t count among the cognizantly discordent wookies.
- Bang
I am an open thread lover!
Betsy’s Page has perspective on profits from Deroy Murdoch. For those who don’t know profits is how America is so prosperous and is able to be the MOST generous nation on earth hands down.
And isn’t this interesting:
Verizon has not provided customer call data to the NSA, nor had it been asked to do so, the company said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday.
The statement came a day after BellSouth Corp. issued a similar denial.
“One of the most glaring and repeated falsehoods in the media reporting is the assertion that, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Verizon was approached by NSA and entered into an arrangement to provide the NSA with data from its customers’ domestic calls,” the statement read.
I see false allegations abound. From Helen Thomas, Pelosi and Shumer and Specter. Boot them out I say. No more divisiveness and false allegations Specter !
ARE WOMEN EARNING MORE THAN MEN?
I hope they are and knew they were. Give me some sugar!
Part of the story says:
That’s a better way of comparing apples and apples versus factoring in my grandmother who never worked and then saying see…. Women only earn 76 cents on the male dollar!! I knew this instictively before 1994 but in 1994 the woman I was with was the only customer service rep in a field of 28 working for a sterilization company. She fixed sterilization processors in hospitals. There wasn’t many women who took the job because it required you had to lug 70 lbs of equipment (no she wasn’t butch) into the hospital to fix the darn thing. She was paid the MOST out of all the service reps and her actual review data (comprising of call back ratios and such) was AVERAGE. Yeah for her but not yeah for the people in the media and other leftists who like to propagandize and make FALSE allegations. It’s their pattern and they’ll stick to it I’m sure.
