"Killer Chic"

Have you ever followed a link down or out a few levels? And been rewarded for your efforts? Happened here this morning.
I've always talked to the lefties about their incredible lack of honesty, intellectual honesty, transparency, well, you know. They abhor Hitler yet venerate so many other tyrants, Che Guevara in particular. There is a movie coming out "Che" starring Benecio del Torro. I saw an entry at Hot Air and followed the links to Babalu Blog to Reason TV. Seems that those who lived through the terror of Che do not quite hold him at the same level of esteem and regard as those portray him. I watched the below video and emailed Reason TV as to how to embed it and heard back from none other than the producer Nick Gillespie!
So, view and learn:

The biggest fraud ever in US history? Nah...

There is this story from linked from Drudge:" Investor to Super Rich Charged in $50B Fraud"
The "investor" told employees that the fund was "One big lie...basically a giant ponzi scheme." The stories circulating are calling this the biggest fraud ever in US history. I noted that the Madoff scandal isn't even close. Not by a 1,000 orders of magnitude. That historical fact belongs to the largest ponzi scheme in the history of the world: Social Security/Medicare .
Oh, and any guesses as to whom/what campaigns Mr. Madoff mostly contributes? Look here.
That or there are two Bernard L. Madoffs in NYC who run financial companies.

Bhutan or Kimber?

I could just as easily have entitled this entry "The left ALWAYS wants you dead!"
There is this posting over at Hot Air where my friend Ed Morrissey posts. The basic plot is that the School Board wants kids to throw books/backpacks/themselves at active shooters in a school attack. Yah. Hhhmmm...8 year old kids being taught to throw their revisionist history books at someone who is shooting them. I kind of already know how that will probably work... OK kids, quiz time. Let's see how well you've been paying attention to Prof. Amendment X. What do all these have in common:
  1. Mark Lepine and the University of Montreal
  2. Virginia Tech and Seung Hui- Cho
  3. Columbine High School and Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold
  4. Pearl Mississippi and Joel Myrick
Seems to me that Carol Jacobs wants to reinstitute this method of self preservation:


(Anyone notice that the above was sponsored by the NEA? Just as effective now as then when it comes to protection).
Does Mizzzzzz Jones ever consider maybe arming the staff?
Go read again the linked article in the Pearl, MS High Scholl article about Joel Myrick. By obeying the law, kids died.
Again, the governments kill.
So, if Mizzzzz Jones wants people to throw books at a shooter, as a parent or concerned citizen, which of these would you want to have used to confront a shooter when children's lives are on the line:
This or this?

When philosophy and reality meet

I love it when the ironicalness (yes, I know) of the left is lost on them. To wit: the recent crime wave on the "greenway" that was the old railroad right-of-way that paralleled Lake Street for decades (and also parallels the Hiawatha Choo choo). Bike paths, light rail, etc. are loved and revered by the left . And when those pathways take them through neighborhoods of diversity that breed crime like drunk rabbits, well, what can I say? Now, I'll acknowledge there's not much you can do with abandoned railroad right-of-way. But, what did you expect putting a "greenway" through some of the highest crime areas in the city?
Not everyone embraces "diversity" and "tolerance" in those areas as much as the lefties do.
Wait a minute...seems that Minneapolis votes overwhelmingly for the libertards and therefore, the people in those neighborhoods vote for this, usually in numbers greater than the general populace.
Oh.
How's reality working for you now?
makes no difference; they'll vote left again and again.
Seems there's a quote from Einstein that would apply here...

Congressional Representatives Votes

How Minnesota House Representatives voted in the Big 3 down payment on bankruptcy (a Y is a yes vote for the bailout)
Democrats — Ellison, X; McCollum, Y; Oberstar, Y; Peterson, N; Walz, N.
Republicans — Bachmann, N; Kline, N; Ramstad, Y.
Once again, I'm glad Jim Ramstad is going to get job in the private sector (I'd bet a lobbying job for the mental health industry. Maybe he'll be the new Car Czar?).
