Nancy

I haven't blogged in quite some time, and I'm going to keep this short and succint until which time I have the strength to express my grief.

My friend, our friend, Nancy (Ms Placed Democrat), has passed on. I was just informed and felt a numbness in my body and a heaving in my heart. A PUMA, a patriot, one of the most caring, brilliant, loving women I've had the privilege of knowing through these crazy political times.

I am praying for her and her family, and for all of us to make sense out of the senseless.

I shall resume when I find the words.

I love you, Nancy. We will continue the fight.

Tribute

Statistical evidence has shown that the most heavily trafficked day of the year is...
Mother's Day. Everyone has a mom, whether you are lucky enough to have her with you, never knew her, or she was your best friend and has passed on. The mother-daughter bond has been written about and analyzed ad nauseum, with its inherent clashes, disagreements, and "normal" rivalry. But if you think you don't adore your mother and owe her your life, you are kidding yourself. I've known a few women who have verbally debased their mothers for a variety of reasons, and that is the human condition. My relationship with my mother was often contentious mainly due to the indisputable fact that I was not what she bargained for with regard to the way I dress, the way I think, well...me being me. But for all of our differences, I worshiped my mother. I knew I did not get her "beauty" genes, nor her charm. In my eyes and everyone else's, Helen Lydia (last name omitted) was a glamor girl from back in the day, and the life of the party. But what she was more than anything, was a good mother.
Perhaps we all have different definitions of what constitutes good mothering. I can only impart the wisdom I've attained as a mother myself, and in my world, you put your child before your own needs, you do without in order to give your child, you are supportive and loving though you don't see eye to eye, simply...you are "there" for your baby. And that she was.
She married my dad, my awesome, brilliant dad, and gave birth to the prodigal son, my older brother. Four years later, the rebel came along. I was the quintessential daddy's girl but mommy was my world. My childhood was like many, filled with memories I choose to forget but overall, rather enjoyable in retrospect. I wanted for nothing, but of course, kids always want something. Mom was quite proud of her little girl and primped and fussed over me. Hey, I have the pics to prove it and no, you can't see them. Of course, all good things must come to an end, and I grew up. Oy. I'll spare you but suffice it to say that the dressing rooms of every beautiful store in Manhattan were privy to mom's unhappiness with my choices. So how does one make a mother happy when all else fails? Give her a grandchild. Of course, I did it for myself, but I did get some major points for finally doing the right thing. I gave them another prodigal child, and with all due respect to the world of bias, he is amazing. We want to maintain our own identities, but we also live to please. Those who have not been on the receiving end of parental approval are forever seeking it, if not through the parent, then through their choice of mate. I was the former and I thought I "had" her when I "had" him. Well, I did, for awhile. I still wasn't quite perfect, but I became more mainstream and that suited mom just fine.
Time is a healer, or so the cliche goes. I'm a really poor healer because the pain of losing mom is with me every day. It's been three years, it happened rather suddenly and all things point to malpractice. My once, very vital, youthful, classy, adoring mother was reduced to a wheelchair and a host of medications that were inexplicable. I have little respect for the medical community and no matter how vehement I was, the male elders overruled me at every twist and turn. Sexism in the family? You bet. Of course they wanted the best for mom, but I was just a girl, not worth listening to. Something tells me they regret that.
Well, I've been rambling so I'll revert back to my original reason for this post. It's not political, I really don't care about the Washington Correspondents' Dinner, and for one day, nothing matters to me except my mom and being a mom.

Mom, I know you're with me, I always feel your presence, and I know you love me as much as I love you. I'll bet you'd have been right by my side loving Hillary, too. By the way, Streisand is a close friend of hers, so you did have good taste.

Here's to you, Mommy. For all the times you fretted that you went wrong, here's some comfort. You didn't. I get it, I really do. I wish I had gotten it while you were close enough for me to hug.

Happy Mother's Day, All.

Report Cards Suck

I hope the resident select didn't go back to his Lincoln wannabe bedroom and tune in to CNN, post press CON-ference. Viewers of AC 360 were asked to vote on FaceBook,in selected categories, rating the (p)Res, Congress, Geithner, SoS HC, BidetBiden, etc. based on the first 100 days of dumBO's life as it were. I'll list the actual questions below for your reference, but suffice it to say that despite high approval ratings in popularity (very similar to W and Carter *oy*), performance seems not to measure up to the ego of the man.

I've mentioned before, along with others, that psychologically, the resident suffers from low self-esteem brought on by an errant mother, absent father, undefined :cough muslim: roots, and his blackness in a sea of white and asian youth. There are two outcomes to this scenario; the child with low self-esteem either blossoms into adulthood chronologically whilst retaining a usually unwarranted poor image of him/herself, or the child evolves into a full blown narcissist. The latter is you know who.

Now that we've diagnosed the disorder, let us imagine this ego driven, yet insecure man who has always received admiration, adulation, pats on the back, funny money, and assistance from mega wealthy people, sitting in front of the telly actually studying the results of this poll. Albeit unscientific, CNN is not FOX, therefore he cannot guffaw and claim bias. Since his college and law school records were never revealed, he might be used to poor grades for all we know, but hey, that was then, this is now, and this is the big time.
I suspect that if he is privy to this information, he has double dipped into the crack pipe tonight, or even more probable, stared into a full length mirror, smiled that toothy grin while telling himself that he has "a whole host of" awesomeness that any peasant or world leader would envy.

As promised, the questions: (supplied with *my* own answers for reference) CNN POLL

1. Joe Biden (a for ahole) B
2. Your two Senators C+
3. The BO administration's progress on the Economy (progress?) B
4. Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner (long or short form) C+
5. How well you feel things are going in the country today (mass suicide) B-
6. How well you felt things were going in the last administration (safe) C
7. The narcissist's performance at the press conference (comically sickening) B+
8. Media's performance on BO and the new administration (love sick schmucks) B-
9. The administration's performance on Foreign Affairs (BO-F, Hillary-A) B+
10.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (me, A) B
11.Did you vote in the election (begrudgingly) 78%Y,22%N
12.Are you still happy with your voting decision(like I had a choice?) 83%Y,17%N
13.The performance of the House of Representatives (abysmal) C+
14.The performance of the Senate (more abysmal) C+
15.The Democratic leadership in the House and Senate (Pelosi/Reid=Swine Flu) B-
16.The Republican leadership in the House and Senate (what leadership?) C-
17.The BO administration's response to the swine flu crisis (close borders) B+
18.Grade The Messiah's first 100 days (needs to be expelled) B

In a separate survey conducted by the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation, he fared even worse. A dreaded B-.

Do you see what I see? Sir Holiness received a B. In my world of desirable achievement, B = Average. The resident is average. Trust me, he's wide awake right now, plotting a re-do.

9/10

Life intervenes. And so it has for me, and continues to do so, therefore a respite was in order and heavens to betsy, it still is. Whilst struggling with a case of laid-offitis and a variety of other ills, my inner f*ck you alert began sending subliminal messages to the fire department. Two faced behavior is de rigeur in D.C. but the latest turnabout will likely create more than a brouhaha, if you consider a terrorist attack more worthy of a stronger reference. Those that have followed my yellow brick road are aware of my obsession with 9/11 due to my personal loss as well as the normal fear for my loved ones. I've been chided, derided, met with sympathy; the gamut of responses. Let me be clear. I don't give a fiddler's f*ck if you are a conservative, liberal, left wing Alinsky devotee, Saddleback holy roller, the Puhpuhpuhresident-of-evil has now breached national security.
I know, you're sitting there with your smirk ready to throw Constitutional malarchy at me, words of wisdom explaining the U.S. quest for a higher moral ground which is what makes us different than...whom? Cannibals? Spare me your intellectual, bespectacled wisdom. We Are At War.
Releasing the declassified CIA papers is basically a manual for new Al Q recruits. Why don't we name it, "Hold Your Nose and Bring a Can of Raid" but keep our dirty little secrets, secrets. Secret being a euphemism for terrorist attack. The fact that we don't engage in public nor private beheadings ala Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, but plant small insects in confined areas to upset the lil destruction expert should be enough for the "my country doesn't engage in torture" crowd. Provide your own links as I'm in no mood to make this easy for you. Dennis Blair, who is now working with the fraud, has openly stated the fact that our tactics worked! Out of g-d knows how many attempts, the United States was able to water the crap out of KSM enough to stop the bombing of the Library Tower in Los Angeles. Our H20 frenzy thwarted the bombing of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. You get the idea, don't you? Now true, perhaps we could have offered a lifetime supply of devil dogs and one night with Salma Hayek, but it's doubtful that niceties are enough to deprogram the jihadist America haters.
The Dems are up in arms. They're flailing their flabby arms and politicizing their wet dreams that they've held for eight years. They want Bush/Cheney, and the fraud is giving them the orgasm to do so. By putting the onus on Atty. General (WE ARE A NATION OF COWARDS) Holder, he is authorizing a bipartisan committee to investigate the efficacy and legality of our "torture" tactics in procuring the safety of our country. A week ago, A WEEK AGO, midget Emanuel was on the airwaves touting the news that Sir-Soros's-Puppet would not be going back as it was time to move forward. Enter Moveon.Scourge, George Soros, the ACLU, and the fraud gets all fachoted in his need to please some of the people, some of the time.
If you believe that we have remained unscathed for eight years due to happenstance, YOU are a moron. If you had a choice of saving your loved ones by waterboarding ( which is done to train our own) and uncovering the information necessary to thwart a bio-terrorist attack, would you? Would you allow your family and friends to perish due to your "higher moral ground?" If you are even remotely unsure of the answer, get thee to Bellevue. Put away your disdain for Glenn Beck (I relate sometimes)and get enlightened.


Remember Hussein, the next one is on you. We are now living in a 9/10 world.

It is a rare night that could prompt me to contribute to the ratings of MSNBC's lineup of fawning fraud worshipers, but somehow I found myself riveted to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with sexist-host, David (Chelsea is pimping for her mom) Shuster. What caught my senses was a compassionate tone, lacking his usual sarcasm. It might as well have been his wife he was interviewing but in actuality, he was commiserating with a NYC firefighter who lost his firefighter son in an act of heroism on 9/11. The full interview can be viewed above. Sure, nothing new, right? Ho hum to some? Another 9/11 story of anguish, as if it can be diminished. However, this was not another tale of tragedy, rather the hero's father spoke of the Puppet-in-Chief's broken promise to the 9/11 families. All of his campaign promises have been shattered ( the sheep deserve to be led to the slaughter), but this man, this empty shell of a confused, narcissistic man who wants to be king had held court very recently in the WH, with selected members of the victims' families. You might recall my tribute to one of the most tireless 9/11 family advocates, Beverly Eckertwho died this past February in a Buffalo, NY plane crash. It had been just a week of two before her tragic ending that she had met with the "that one" to discuss the security concerns that have plagued many of us since he took his mighty sword and lowered our national defenses. The families were met with false pathos and the following statement was issued, "Obama met with the relatives of 9/11 victims and the 17 sailors killed in the bombing of the USS Cole this afternoon - promising them he "would get quick justice" despite plans to close the Guantanamo Bay prison." The rest can be read here. Since then, with the decision to close Gitmo a done deal, the usurper and his chief coward Atty. General Eric Holder have given orders to transfer two or more of the enemy combatants, one being the mastermind of the USS Cole bombing, to a prison in ALEXANDRIA, VA...hello?, a residential neighborhood with a luxury hotel just steps away. I'm sure we can all rest easy now. More promises, Mr. Terrorist Lover?

Back to topic. Remembering the words uttered to the grief stricken, and eight years later knowing that ground zero is still nothing more than a gaping hole in the ground due to the bureaucracy of bullshit, the 9/11 families reached out once more. Here is the transcript as broadcasted:
SHUSTER: Welcome back to 1600. today, the White House focused on the war against al Qaeda. But for weeks, we‘ve been telling you about the hallowed grounds related to that war, Ground Zero in New York City. Nearly eight years after the 9/11 attacks, the site remains a symbol of bureaucratic bungling, delay and surrender.

The site remains mostly a big hole. And while some work has been done on the proposed Freedom Tower base, the entire plan is one that most 9/11 families detest. Last night on this show, several 9/11 families pleaded with President Obama to get involved. They want the president to take a tour of the site and look at some models for an alternative plan that city officials refuse to consider, a plan that would stop the Freedom Towers, and rebuild the Twin Towers, instead, taller, stronger, and safer.

We promised to follow up with the Obama White House. We have. After all, the president has repeatedly spoken about the importance of his office tackling the tough issues and making decisions. Today, NBC‘s Chuck Todd tried to help us get an answer about Ground Zero at the White House press briefing. Chuck posed the crucial question to spokesman Robert Gibbs.



CHUCK TODD, NBC NEWS CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: -- had asked the president to get involved with the rebuilding at Ground Zero.

ROBERT GIBBS, WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: I will check on that. That is not on my stuff either. I will have somebody work on that.

SHUSTER: This afternoon, we continue to follow up the White House. Late this afternoon, we received this statement from White House Spokesman Bill Burton. Quote, “from the first days of this administration, we‘ve had an open dialogue with the 9/11 families and the families of the victims of the USS Coal attack. We‘re familiar with their concerns and are willing to discuss them. But it appears that this is an issue that should be resolved by state and local government officials.”


Blown off, not his problem, take this up with your local officials.
Perhaps he is too busy counting the millions that he has allotted for the terrorist sympathizing Palestinians to resettle in our neighborhoods and schools.

Just when I tried to breathe...

Sleepness Nights and 9/11 Truths

NWO. 9/11. Trilateral Commission. No, no more clues. Take the time and watch these broadcasts. Let me know how betrayed you feel when you're done. Everything I have researched and yet denied to myself...is here. Am I obsessed with the attack on our homeland? Affirmative. We all need to be. Where's Jack Bauer when you need him?

Note: There are many videos on this one channel. I have posted the link under the video above which will direct you to justin.tv. Of special note is the 9/11 series, 1-11, documentaries that are too plausible to deny.

I do not believe in fear mongering, though our fraud-in-chief has certainly changed his tune from hopey changey to be afraid, be very afraid. However, we must dig deep, we must not be caught unaware, not this time.

Chai Hopes

Rather than blathering endlessly about my "pet peeve" also known as the resurgence of widespread, blatant antisemitism, I'm going to let the following do the dirty work.


"With his bold message to Iran’s leaders, President Obama achieved four things essential to any rapprochement.


He abandoned regime change as an American goal. He shelved the so-called military option. He buried a carrot-and-sticks approach viewed with contempt by Iranians as fit only for donkeys. And he placed Iran’s nuclear program within “the full range of issues before us.”

By doing so, Obama made it almost inevitable that one of the defining strategic issues of his presidency will be a painful but necessary redefinition of America’s relations with Israel as differences over Iran sharpen. I will return to that below.

The innovations in the president’s Persian New Year, or Nowruz, overture to Tehran were remarkable. He referred twice to “the Islamic Republic of Iran,” a formulation long shunned, and said that republic, no other, should “take its rightful place in the community of nations.” Here was explicit American acceptance of Iran’s 30-year-old clerical revolution.

He said establishing constructive ties would “not be advanced by threats,” a retreat from his own campaign position that the military option must always remain on the table. Instead he offered “mutual respect.”

I was in Iran in January and February. The visit convinced me that confrontational American high-handedness has been a disaster; that facile analogies between the Iranian regime and the Nazis dishonor six million victims of the Holocaust; that the regime’s provocative rhetoric masks essential pragmatism; and that the best way to help a young, stability-favoring population toward the reform they seek is through engagement.

Obama has now taken all the steps I called for then. The policy changes emerged from an interagency review of the failed Iranian policy of recent years. The shift demanded courage.

One of the people involved in the review told me he had been bombarded by warnings from Israel and Sunni Arab states that engagement with Iran would lead nowhere. Of course they would say that; any Iran breakthrough will shake up current cozy U.S. relationships from Jerusalem to Riyadh.

Obama’s overture represented a victory not only over such lobbying but also over officials’ favoring tightened sanctions or delaying any American initiative until after Iran’s June presidential election.

The hard part has just begun.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded to Obama with a scathing speech at the country’s holiest shrine in Mashad, recalling every past U.S. misdeed, describing prerevolutionary Iran as “a field for the Americans to graze in,” and demanding concrete steps — like a lifting of sanctions — rather than words.

View all that as an opening gambit. Khamenei also quieted the crowd when it began its ritual “Death to America” chant and he said this: “We’re not emotional when it comes to our important matters. We make decisions by calculation.”

That’s right: the mullahs are anything but mad. Calculation will demand that Iran take Obama seriously.

The country’s oil revenue has plunged, its economy is in a mess, its oil and gas installations are aging. It has deepening interests in a stable Iraq and an Afghanistan free of Taliban rule. Its nuclear program involves a measure of brinkmanship that must be carefully managed. Khamenei’s essential role is conservative — the preservation of the revolution. He can only be radical up to a point.

Iran’s apparent inclination to take up a U.S. invitation to attend a conference on Afghanistan later this month may be more significant than Khamenei’s words. In any event, overcoming a 30-year impasse will take time and consistency.

The clock is ticking — and Obama’s will not be the same as that of Israel’s prime minister designate, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Already divergent U.S. and Israeli approaches to Iran were evident in Israeli President Shimon Peres’s coupling of his own Nowruz address to the Iranian people (not its leaders) with a statement predicting that they would rise up and topple “a handful of religious fanatics.”

A senior Israeli official told me Iran has 1,000 kilos of low-enriched uranium and will have 500 more within six months, enough to make a bomb. It could then opt for one of three courses.

Rush for a bomb by shredding the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, adapting its centrifuges and producing enough highly enriched uranium within a year.

Move the process to a secret site, in which case getting a bomb would take longer, perhaps two years.

Or continue making low-enriched uranium so that “it would have enough for 10 bombs if it decides to rush at a later stage.”

And where, I asked, is Israel’s red line? “Once they get to 1,500 kilos, nonproliferation is dead,” he said. And so? “It’s established that when a country that does not accept Israel’s existence has such a program, we will intervene.”

I think there’s some bluster in this. Israel does not want Obama to talk, talk, talk, so it’s suggesting military action could happen in 2009, within nine months.

Still, this much is clear to me: Obama’s new Middle Eastern diplomacy and engagement will involve reining in Israeli bellicosity and a probable cooling of U.S.-Israeli relations. It’s about time. America’s Israel-can-do-no-wrong policy has been disastrous, not least for Israel’s long-term security."

This piece of trash was penned by a Mr. Cohen (Jewish?) in the March 23 edition of the NY Times, or more succinctly, the newspaper that has become nothing more than radical left wing trash. I was reared on this rag when it was something to admire. Learning in journalism class how to fold the monstrous paper into three parts for easier viewing. Why, if you wrote for the NYT, you were on your way to a Pulitzer. Sadly, the closest I've come to a Pulitzer is dating the grandson (sorry Justin).
All throughout the primaries we who read this drivel, suffered through Maureen Dowd's pounding of Hillary and orgasmic delight in all things BO. Reems of paper were filled with so-called journalists fawning over the second coming, ignoring the fact that New York's own Senator was Hillary Clinton, front runner in the Dem campaign.
But this, this has me further floored. In a city dubbed Hymietown, lest you've forgotten, that was uttered by the fabulous Rev. Jesse Jackson (it's ok to bash the Jews, very little reverberation there), one would imagine that such anti-Israeli crap would be scorned. What am I thinking. Everything old is new again! It's fashionable once more to hate Jews, insist that the United States stop its alliance with Israel, and bring a "terrorist" home for lunch. To those who refuse to equate the hatred of Israel to antisemitism, I say, bullshit.

Here, educate thyself...a taste of hatred, the acceptable kind.

Good old Louis Farrakhan, an eager endorser of our Resident, uttered the following at that time:
"A storm of protest erupted, and Jackson at first denied the remarks, then accused Jews of conspiring to defeat him. The Nation of Islam's radical leader Louis Farrakhan, an aggressive anti-Semite and old Jackson ally, made a difficult situation worse by threatening Coleman in a radio broadcast and issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson's presence: "If you harm this brother [Jackson], it will be the last one you harm."

Like I said, everything old is new again. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.
