Kirk is pondering a run for the US Senate seat presently held by Roland Burris. That tells you all that you need to know about the Left’s unhinged reaction.

Burris will be both tough for the Democrats to unseat in the Democrat primary (I can just hear the shrieks of “Racism” coming from the so-called civil rights establishment) and tough to convince independents to vote for if he survives a primary challenge. Thus, the attacks on anyone who might threaten the Democrats’ hold on Obama’s old seat.

On a completely unrelated note: whatever prayers ST and her readers sent up on my behalf worked. I have been offered a full-time teaching position in the Mathematics Department at a local community college. So to everyone – Thank you!

MD: Too bad you *got no street cred* or otherwise criminal actions pending. You might’ve been offered a position in the Nubians admin….’then you WOULD have some street cred!

Congrats on your new gig, buddy!

Naw, forest – to get a gig in the Won’s Thousand-Year Reich you need to be a major-league tax cheat. Five figures or better just to get a second look. Plus a lobotomy for a Cabinet-level post. Terrorism, murder, rape, a mere felony (or ten) does not cut it – competition is too keen for a chance to slurp at the public trough. William Ayers was a mad bomber, and he got zip.

At any rate (to head back on-topic) Kirk had better watch his back for media-tossed knives (made in Cook County, of course).

As I drift off to sleep I start to dream about January 21,2013 and the first day of the US Senate Truth Hearings chaired by Senator Liz Cheney. Who is the first witness?
The list is mind boggling. All 17 Democrat Senators ( yes from 60 to 17 in 4 years) have signed a letter of protest.

Somewhat off topic, but allow me to add my congratulations to you MD! Science, engineering, and math departments tend to be far less ideologically rigid than the soft side of the house, which are usually populated with liberals to the almost total exclusion of conservatives. It’s nice to see you made it into academia, I’m sure your common sense, rational approach will be of great benefit to your students. Imagine, a math class that actually teaches math, instead of political activism! The mind boggles!

First, your analysis of the left’s reaction is spot on – why are they so unhinged at what they, as an ideological group, perfected?

That said, I would think that what we decried so many years would be as bad for us to do as for the leftist loonies, even if what we say is correct.

Was Kirk correct in his assessment? Probably. Was he correct in announcing it to the world (mostly as a campaign tactic)? No more so than Pelosi, or Clinton, or (especially) Obama.

Mega-congrats, MD!!

Firstly:

Congratulations MD!!! I am so happy for you!!

Secondly:

Mr Kirk’s assessment differed with that of Treasury Secretary Mr Timothy Geithner, who said last week on a separate visit that Chinese leaders had expressed ‘justifiable confidence’ on the future of the recession-hit US economy.

Ummm Geithner has already proven himself to be a liar and a criminal, why would anyone believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Ohhh Gawd are these people stupid. – Lorica

MD, congratulations and best wishes for success always in the new position!!

Now, let’s hope Obama doesn’t find out about this, or he will be bragging that he personally “saved or created” your new job.

As for Kirk’s remarks, two points: first, it is laughable to see leftists suddenly worried about running America down when overseas, considering their track record for as long as I can remember.

Second, it’s not like Kirk told the Chinese something they don’t know. They may be brutal statists, but they’re very smart. They’ve already laughed Geithner out of town for trying to feed them the same nonsense that our gullible domestic leftists swallow. They’ve also told Pelosi and Hillary to put a cork in the AGW foolishness too – China is not going to kneel at the altar of al-Gore.

The Chinese government is a lot more realistic about most things than the current assortment of leftist clucks in charge in Washington.

Congrats, MD!!! Knock ’em dead!

I love the teaching profession. If I wasn’t in law enforcement I would love to be a teacher. I’m hoping after I retire I can get a job teaching.

NC Cop: While you may not consider what you do every day both here and face to face, you’re already a teacher and a damn fine one!

Always lead from the front! That’s why they call it leading!

No wonder the Chinese laughed at Secretary Geithner when he said that China’s assets are safe on June 1. Kirk had been there the week before (May 22) telling them not to believe anything the US government says.

I fear that this will be Kirk’s “macaca moment,” like that racial slur caught on video that sunk George Allen’s Senate race. He presented the Illinois Democrats with a nice little video clip for future campaign ads. He might have been a good Senator, but he blew it.
