The best ever woman with gun movie was Sigourney Weaver in ALIENS when she was kicking ass and taking names in the basement of the atmosphere processor. Lots of movies have tried to immitate that but few have come even close.

Why must everything be infected with moonbattery? You think a post on the LHC is safe? Think again.

Discovery Space: Space Disco: Beyond the LHC: What's the Next Colossal Collider?

Ok, it's a lot of money. And if fact, the country ultimately hosting the ILC will need to fork over only something like $1.8 billion. Let's compare what some find to be an outrageous sum to this:

Cost of Iraq War animation

For the price of one B-2 bombers [sic] -- yep, only ONE -- the U.S. could have enough money to host the ILC. Two more B-2 bombers and the nation could host it entirely by itself without any outside funding. Take the remainder from the ever-increasing amount above, and there's plenty left over to provide health care for uninsured Americans. And maybe enough to figure out how to save ourselves from a rogue asteroid or comet before it's too late. And then some.

Hopefully one day our leaders will be able to think critically and logically, and realize that killing people because we are afraid of them is far less productive and useful than, say... seeking to understand the universe we're lucky enough to live in in the first place.

GOP IN A GALLUP GALLOP

In a dramatic turnaround within a scant 2 weeks, Gallup polls report bad news for the Dems:

“PRINCETON, NJ — A potential shift in fortunes for the Republicans in Congress is seen in the latest USA Today/Gallup survey, with the Democrats now leading the Republicans by just 3 percentage points, 48% to 45%, in voters’ “generic ballot” preferences for Congress. This is down from consistent double-digit Democratic leads seen on this measure over the past year:” http://www.gallup.com/poll/110263/Battle-Congress-Suddenly-Looks-Competitive.aspx.

Specifics:

Dem candidate January 2008: 53%, September 2008: 45%; Rep candidate January 2008: 40%, September 28: 45%. The incredible shrinking party spread of 13% shrinks to 3%.

“Republican candidates now lead Democratic candidates among likely voters by 5 percentage points, 50% to 45%.” They snooze, they lose.

“If the current closer positioning of the parties holds, the structure of congressional preferences will be similar to most of the period from 1994 through 2005, when Republicans won and maintained control of Congress.” 1994 was the year Newt’s Contract with America Reps began to turn Clinton’s economy around.

Approval ratings for the Democratic Congresss: 27% positive in 2007, 65% negative; in 2008: 20% nays, 73% yeas. It’s slip, slip, slipping away…

What do all these boring numbers mean? If they hold, it will mean the electorate is realizing the do-nothing congress of Pelosi/Reid has, well, done nothing. It also means Obama/Blank will lose to McCain/Palin and that the good guys regain control of the legislative branch.

It may also mean that happy days are here again!

Glen in Canada: Glad to hear that Sarah has shaken things up north of the border! Despite their efforts to downplay the choice of Gov. Palin as McCain's V-P (not to mention the ongoing efforts to destroy her with any lie conceivable), she has truly "rocked the boat" down here in the lower 48 (plus her own state and the 5-0's out there in the Pacific; sorry, Barry, but there's only fifty states in the USA).

McCain's decision on August 29th I think stunned the Dhimmicrats, leaving them speechless (for a few minutes). They never imagined he'd go for a conservative, when he could have had Joe Lieberman instead. The Dhimmis still haven't recovered, and likely will not recover, before November 4th. The Messiah's only choice now is to throw that idiot Biden under the bus and choose (you guessed it) Hillary as his running-mate. His life is forfeit if he does that, but it's the only chance he has now of getting to the White House.

Sarah Palin is erudite, sharp as a tack and brooks no morons (like Charlie Gibson) -- that pisses the elites off more than anything else. They simply don't know how to handle her (other than attempting to destroy her and her family -- typical Dhimmicrat behavior). I think she will win the election for John McCain (then we'll have to hope to bring him into some kind of conservative line with the rest of the country and abandon this AGW/carbon-credit crap, enforce the borders, etc.).

Watch and see over the next couple of months -- she will kick their asses all over the place.

Posted by: jc14 at September 12, 2008 4:16 PM

The Washington Post has a pretty good article concerning the Bush Doctrine question Charlie Gibson asked of Palin. I was glad to see at least one person in the media put in to words what I thought of the Palin interview. Not that I know anything about the current or former Bush Doctrines, but I thought Gibson was pretty much a d**khole during the interview. At any rate, I digress:

Yes, Sarah Palin didn't know what it is. But neither does Charlie Gibson. And at least she didn't pretend to know -- while he looked down his nose and over his glasses with weary disdain, sighing and "sounding like an impatient teacher," as the Times noted. In doing so, he captured perfectly the establishment snobbery and intellectual condescension that has characterized the chattering classes' reaction to the mother of five who presumes to play on their stage.

On a side note, being a married man, I'm sometimes forced to watch the E! channel. Yesterday happened to be one of those times, and I got to enjoy the Daily 10. Some guy named Sal, presenting the current happenings in the world, spent his entire bit on Palin. Mimicking her voice when quoting her (going so far as to use a whiney baby voice when speaking of the pig comment), bobblehead agreeing with a Matt Damon clip, and saying, "yeah right," after quoting a Palin rebuke of the current smear-of-the-day. It floored me. Again, I know it's the E! channel, big deal right? But, just to see someone on TV behaving like that, offering a blatant bias and truly degenerate comments, it really shocked me. I looked at my wife and said, "am I making this up? Are you hearing this?" She said, "yeah, he's not being too subtle."

You'd be hard-pressed to convince me that there aren't millions of moderate, undecided voters seeing the same thing. Part of me is confident that it only helps McCain/Palin, and part of me is worried I'm wrong.

E MAILS, WAR INJURIES, AND OBAMIAN STUPIDITY

I have to take issue with this headline: http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/09/12/obama-ad-ridicules-mccain-over-war-injuries/. In all fairness, I refuse to believe that Obama was making fun of McCain’s war injuries when he said McCain can’t even send emails.

Just as he confused the number of states in the Union when Senator Obama said he campaigned in all 57 of them, with one to go, not counting Alaska and Hawaii, and just as Senator Biden wasn’t being cruel when he told a paraplegic in Missouri to stand up, the much vaunted brilliance of Obama simply failed him again.

It turns out Senator McCain cannot type emails because he cannot type, not because he lacks secretarial skills but because of the consequences of his war injuries.

It’s sort of like Obama being unable to recall his close ties with Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright or Reverend Pflieger, or his inability to remember specifics about his years at Columbia University, or what precisely he did as a “community organizer/activist” in the Belly of the Chicago Beast, or his Muslim roomies in college.

Truth be told, Barack Hussein Obama, despite all the hype conjured up by the mainstream media, is just plain stupid.

More proof of that stupidity: He married Michelle, didn’t he?

THE GLOBAL WARMING MONEY PIT

The charade that is global warming continues to rear its ugly face.

That greatest boon to pseudo-scientists such as Al Gore is getting a new lie on life with vicious Hurricanes Ike, Hanna, and Gustav lately, not for any other reason than that they happened, as they always do. After all, isn’t that why we have a “hurricane season,” simply because there is a season for all things and not because they’re some freaks of nature caused by human industry?

Nevermind that 2006 and 2007 were virtually hurricane free. And nevermind that the nameless hurricane that last caused such devastation in Galveston occurred 108 years ago, decades before Gore’s daddy had that gleam in his eye that resulted in Albert Arnold Gore’s entrance into this world for the express purpose of saving this world, along with Nancy Pelosi.

This year’s natural resurgence will surely see the global warmists, led by celebrity warmist, Gore, call press conferences to declare, in effect, “See, I told you so!” He even blames global cooling on global warming, so go figure.

What’s in it for these people, anyway? In Gore’s case, what was in it was being catapulted from well-deserved political obscurity into a warm limelight he could never have dreamed of, to his An Inconvenient Truth to an Oscar to half a Nobel Prize to untold new wealth in which he and Tipper can revel in their energy-guzzling Nashville mansion and tool around in their ozone-destroying Lear jet.

But, forget Gore for a moment, as if we could, and consider Professor Joe Schmo, of the University of Southwest Hoboken, who lines up with other limelight, and government grant, seekers to climb aboard the Good Ship Global Pop to join Al in warning humanity that we’d better watch out. We’d better not cry or pout because Global Warming is coming to town...

THE ACLU AND YOU

Here we go again.

Ever on the alert to oppose any measures that would help insure America’s safety, the Anti Citizens’ Lives Union, aka, the American Civil License Union, aka, the ACLU is on the warpath again.

Reuters reports that the FBI has drafted new regulations regarding suspicious individuals who may be plotting terrorist attacks within the United States.

“Justice Department and FBI officials told a news briefing the changes would allow agents in some terrorism cases to use informants, do physical surveillance and conduct interviews without identifying themselves or their true purpose.” (http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN1247176820080912?sp=true)

Since this is a Reuters report, we will have to await the implementation of the new rules on October 1st to determine how accurate it really is since Reuters, like most of the entrenched, liberal mass media, has never been know to pass up a story that reflects badly on the United States or on conservative Americans.

Witness these few examples of when and how this propaganda agency posing as a news agency has distorted and misreported the truth in the past...

Palin could utterly destroy Democrat Party itself

Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush.

Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.

She threatens a core element of the party's base - women.

When an African-American like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell or Condi Rice rises to prominence as a Republican, he or she endangers the Democratic coalition. So would a Republican labor leader.

And so, above all, does the woman Republican running for vice president.

Democrats can't stomach seeing the feminist movement's impetus for greater female political participation and empowerment "hijacked" by a pro-life woman who espouses traditional values. They must obliterate her, lest her popularity eat away at their party's core.

The Atlantic's McCain cover snapped by deranged, child-abusing moonbat

Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, whose cover story was tainted by Greenberg’s work, writes: “Greenberg doctored photographs of McCain she took during her Atlantic-arranged shoot, which took place last month in Las Vegas. She has posted these doctored photographs on her website, which you can go find yourself, if you must. Suffice it to say that her ‘art’ is juvenile, and on occasion repulsive. This is not the issue, of course; the issue is that she betrayed this magazine, and disgraced her profession.”

“We stand by the picture we are running on our cover,” said Atlantic editor James Bennet. “We feel it’s a respectful portrait. We hope we’ll be judged by that picture.”

But Bennet was appalled by Greenberg saying she tried to portray McCain in an unflattering way.

“We feel totally blind-sided,” he said. “Her behavior is outrageous. Incredibly unprofessional.”

Old video shows that Obama admit that Ayers got him a job

How did Obama's time on the Annenberg Challenge board go from being a key bullet-point in his resume -- by his own accounting -- to one the media refuses to even mention?

---------------------------

New Obama ad mocks McCain's broken fingers for not being able to type email

Cute little commercial Senator Obama came out with today. It mocks Senator McCain for not being able to use a computer. Well, there is a REASON he can't use a computer. When he crashed into North Vietnam BOTH his arms were broken, and those broken arms received little treatment.

Not only can't McCain use a keyboard, he can't tie his shoes or comb his hair either. SHAME on Obama for using this example and SHAME on the media for not pointing out that the Illinois senator is insensitive to McCain's war injuries:

The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

----------------------

Obama's employees expose his padded resume

Dan Armstrong

Don’t get me wrong - I’m a big fan of Barack Obama, the Illinois freshman senator and hot young Democratic Party star. But after reading his autobiography, I have to say that Barack engages in some serious exaggeration when he describes a job that he held in the mid-1980s. I know because I sat down the hall from him, in the same department, and worked closely with his boss. I can’t say I was particularly close to Barack - he was reserved and distant towards all of his co-workers - but I was probably as close to him as anyone. I certainly know what he did there, and it bears only a loose resemblance to what he wrote in his book.

Here’s Barack’s account:

Eventually a consulting house to multinational corporations agreed to hire me as a research assistant. Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhattan office and sat at my computer terminal, checking the Reuters machine that blinked bright emerald messages from across the globe. As far as I could tell I was the only black man in the company, a source of shame for me but a source of considerable pride for the company’s secretarial pool.

First, it wasn’t a consulting house; it was a small company that published newsletters on international business. Like most newsletter publishers, it was a bit of a sweatshop. I’m sure we all wished that we were high-priced consultants to multinational corporations. But we also enjoyed coming in at ten, wearing jeans to work, flirting with our co-workers, partying when we stayed late, and bonding over the low salaries and heavy workload.

Barack worked on one of the company’s reference publications. Each month customers got a new set of pages on business conditions in a particular country, punched to fit into a three-ring binder. Barack’s job was to get copy from the country correspondents and edit it so that it fit into a standard outline. There was probably some research involved as well, since correspondents usually don’t send exactly what you ask for, and you can’t always decipher their copy. But essentially the job was copyediting.

It’s also not true that Barack was the only black man in the company. He was the only black professional man. Fred was an African-American who worked in the mailroom with his son. My boss and I used to join them on Friday afternoons to drink beer behind the stacks of office supplies. That’s not the kind of thing that Barack would do. Like I said, he was somewhat aloof.

THE GRAVITY OF GRAVITAS

Gravitas is a word I thought was almost obsolete until it became the principal Democratic buzz word in George W. Bush’s bid for the Republican nomination and then the presidency in 2000.

Defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as “Substance; weightiness. . . A serious or dignified demeanor,” gravitas soon became the prime catchword in Dem talking points in 2000 which, in turn, made it the prime catchword among liberal pundits and talking heads all over the media who get their marching orders from the DNC.

Bush, the former cheerleader and party animal, was seriously gravitas-challenged but Al Gore and, in 2004, John Kerry were verily overflowing with substance, weightiness, seriousness, and dignity.

Al Gore had loads of gravitas and John (I-Served-in-VietNam) Kerry was the virtual poster boy for gravitas with his hangdog, funereal, demeanor which betokened a president who, though he was charisma-challenged, was more than well endowed with loads of the G-word.

Unfortunately for them, Bush chose the almost equally dour Dick Cheney for his VP which more than counterbalanced his easygoing image. Gravitas proved to be insufficient since both G-men, Gore and Kerry, lost.

Apparently, Americans appreciate seriousness but they also prefer human beings to be their leaders....
