Holder DOJ, with no pressing matters to deal with, pursues Climategate leakers in the United Kingdom
The Holder Justice Department, having stonewalled Congressional investigations of Murdergate and Kagangate, appears to have a lot of spare time on its hands.
So much so that it is investigating Climategate -- the release of emails that show scientists hiding, destroying and changing data to fit the global warming agenda.
But the law works both ways. Former Margaret Thatcher adviser Christopher Lord Monckton is pursuing his own brand of justice.

So much so that it is investigating Climategate -- the release of emails that show scientists hiding, destroying and changing data to fit the global warming agenda.
I have learned that last week DOJ sent a search-and-seizure letter to the host of three climate-change "skeptic" blogs. Last night, UK police raided a blogger’s home and removed computers and equipment.
The leaked [Climategate] records derailed “cap-and-trade” legislation in the U.S. and, internationally, as well as talks for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. The emails and computer code were produced with taxpayer funds and held on taxpayer-owned computers both in the US and the UK, and all were subject to the UK Freedom of Information Act, the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and state FOIA laws.
They also were being unlawfully withheld in both the UK (by the University of East Anglia) and the U.S. (Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), including stonewalling me for two years, and three other requesters for longer).
...In the U.S., the academic and political Left have had fits about Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli exercising even more specific, anti-fraud authority to seek further records from University of Virginia in following up on indications from the first Climategate release of possible fraud against the taxpayer.Apparently, that represented an abuse of the police power. No word yet if they are outraged by DOJ’s current foray or that of the UK raiding team.
...This is a case which has members of the Virginia faculty and establishment beside themselves and demanding an all-out effort to oppose production of the requested documents in an effort to wear us and Cuccinelli down.
So far UVA has spent upwards of $1 million fighting Cuccinelli’s request, and school officials continue to fight us in court every step of the way.
Clearly, this is no small matter in the quarters insisting that this taxpayer-financed information never see the light of day. Even the criminal legal apparatus of the U.S. and UK must be invoked against this threat, apparently.
To review: The UK police and the US DOJ, Criminal Division, are pursuing a leaker of public records subject to one or more FOIA, records that were unlawfully withheld under those laws, which leaks indicate apparent civil violations (tortious interference by seeking dismissal of certain “skeptics”), and raising reasonable questions of fraud against taxpayers.
And they are pursuing the leaker.
But the law works both ways. Former Margaret Thatcher adviser Christopher Lord Monckton is pursuing his own brand of justice.
Now that six policemen from the Norfolk and Metropolitan forces have invaded the home and “borrowed” the computers of “Tallbloke”, the first blogger in the UK to reveal the existence of the 5000 Climategate 2.0 emails, you may ask why the British police seem so much more interested in tracking down and punishing the whistle-blower/“thief” than in dealing with the many crimes by crooked IPCC “scientists” that the emails expose.
...What offenses have been committed? Serious frauds, that's what. Some of the most prominent Climategate emailers appear, on the face of the evidence in the emails, to be engaged with each other and with others in an elaborate series of connected deceptions calculated to enrich themselves and their associates, impoverish everyone else and destroy key industries and national economies wholesale by systematically and often greatly exaggerating the supposed threat and costs of anthropogenic “global warming”, the certainty of the science that underlies the IPCC's claims, and the effectiveness of the various methods proposed for the attempted mitigation of anthropogenic “global warming”, while correspondingly understating the benefits of that warming and the costs of its attempted mitigation.
...In many jurisdictions, fraud is a common-law offense: that of obtaining a pecuniary advantage for oneself, or inflicting a pecuniary disadvantage upon another, by deception. The twin tests are money gain or loss, and deception.
...Suppose that the lead author of an IPCC chapter admits that he allowed a flagrantly incorrect value to appear in the Fourth Assessment Report because “I wanted to influence governments”, and suppose that notwithstanding the objections of the “reviewers” the erroneous value was printed, and suppose that for several months the IPCC, at the highest levels, tried to conceal the deception. That is fraud.
...In each instance, the perpetrators of the fraud will be named and their roles described.

No Offense, But Republicans Can't Be the 'Stupid Party' With Nancy Pelosi Saying Stuff Like This
Moronic, botox-addicted, Statist hacks hardest hit.
Of course not, because those -- ahem -- advisers' names all start with the letter K and end with rugman. You know, the same nincompoop who was lauding Europe's economic model just two short years ago.
Sorry, folks, RINOs are plenty dumb, but they can't compete with this trio of Democrat leaders:
• Harry Reid -- a man with a truly feeble, if not failing, mind. Each day he seems more and more likely to give an incoherent, rambling speech (remember "cowboy poetry"?). For that reason, he is prohibited from speaking to the public without Chuck Schumer standing next to him, usually with a hand up the back of Reid's shirt like a ventriloquist.
• Nancy Pelosi -- a woman who's had so much work done on her face that her eyes appear ready to pop right out of her head -- has made tens of millions of dollars over the last few years thanks toinsider trading crony capitalism savvy investing. And she's going to teach us how to create jobs.
• Finally, Barack Obama -- a man who has no transcripts from Occidental College, no transcripts from Columbia University, no transcripts from Harvard, no thesis papers, no law practice client list, no state senate records, and no ex-girlfriends -- but he's going to tell us how much electricity is going to cost, what kind of health care we should receive, what kind of cars we need to drive, how much our credit-card fees must be, why we shouldn't drill or refine oil, and why we should borrow trillions of dollars from the Chinese government to give to his public sector union boss buddies (hint: so it goes back into his reelection campaign coffers).
No, my friends, you can call the establishment Republicans many things, but only a claque with Pelosi, Obama and Reid in charge can be called "the Stupid Party".
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that extending unemployment benefits would add “600,000 jobs to our economy.”
She also said that the money from unemployment benefits creates a “safety net” for the U.S. economy because it “injects demand into the economy -- creating jobs.”...“The unemployment insurance extension is not only good for individuals. It has a macroeconomic impact. As macroeconomic advisers have stated, it would make a difference of 600,000 jobs to our economy.”
Pelosi did not name those “macroeconomic advisers.”...
Of course not, because those -- ahem -- advisers' names all start with the letter K and end with rugman. You know, the same nincompoop who was lauding Europe's economic model just two short years ago.

Tales From the Obamaconomy: Debtors' Prisons Make a Comeback
The perfect complement to today's report that "1 in 2 Americans are now poor or low income" is the fact that Dickensian debtors' prisons are returning to America.
Since the state of Illinois itself is months late paying $4.8 billion to its vendors and suppliers, my question is this: when does Governor Quinn and the rest of the Democrat machine get thrown in the clink to share cells with Bubba and Rodney?
As if life wasn't already tense enough for Americans who can't pay their debts, collection agencies are now taking advantage of archaic state laws to have some debtors arrested and sent to jail. More than one-third of US states allow debtors to be arrested and jailed, says Jessica Silver-Greenberg in the Wall Street Journal....Of course, the reason debtors have failed to make court-ordered payments is often the same reason they didn't pay their debts in the first place: They don't have any money... In September, a 53 year-old woman named Vivian Joy was stopped for a broken tail-light in Champaign, Illinois. And then, because the cops discovered that she still hadn't paid $2,200 to a collection agency, she was cuffed and carted off to jail.
Joy's excuse? She doesn't have any money.
Jailing debtors for not paying their debts is apparently especially popular in Illinois...
Since the state of Illinois itself is months late paying $4.8 billion to its vendors and suppliers, my question is this: when does Governor Quinn and the rest of the Democrat machine get thrown in the clink to share cells with Bubba and Rodney?

QOTD: "Are we in a situation where every day rockets are fired into Israel, while in the U.S. the current administration tries to pressure the Israelis into a peace process? Hamas does not admit the right of Israel to exist, and says publicly not a single Jew will remain. The Palestinian Authority Ambassador to India said last month there is no difference between Fatah and Hamas: We both agree Israel has no right to exist.
Somebody ought to have the courage to tell the truth: These people are terrorists, they teach terrorism in their schools. They have textbooks that say, 'If there are 13 Jews and 9 Jews are killed, how many Jews are left?' We pay for these textbooks through our aid money.
It's fundamentally time for somebody to have the guts to say, 'Enough lying about the Middle East.'" --Newt Gingrich

Sweet Fancy Moses: Obama Stimulus Signs Even Pollute the Grand Canyon
There really are no limits for the Obama propaganda machine.
They want you to know that they... did something or other to improve the Grand Freaking Canyon. I guess they made it more magnificent by dint of the Great Leader's imprimatur.
Doesn't this strike you as the kind of thing Hugo Chavez would do?
And at the rate we're going, Venezuela may be our next stop on the economic totem pole.
They want you to know that they... did something or other to improve the Grand Freaking Canyon. I guess they made it more magnificent by dint of the Great Leader's imprimatur.
People like myself travel to places such as Grand Canyon National Park to enjoy the natural beauty of God's creation. So imagine my disappointment when Mrs. Marathon Pundit and I--not even 500 yards inside the park--encounter an Obama stimulus campaign sign.I've seen these signs in Yosemite and Mesa Verde national parks.
Five million people visit Grand Canyon National Park, most of them enter the park at the South Rim entrance, where this sign stands.
Doesn't this strike you as the kind of thing Hugo Chavez would do?
And at the rate we're going, Venezuela may be our next stop on the economic totem pole.USA Today: Electricity Prices Necessarily Skyrocket
Remember how, in May of 2009, the president said that, "under my plan... electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket"?
Well, I'm sure the "middle class" -- whoever that is -- appreciates the one campaign promise that Barack Obama kept.
But then again, maybe USA Today is some kind of propaganda arm for the right wing Visigoths.
Or perhaps the EPA is just an out-of-control, unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy bent on de-industrializing America in pursuit of the United Nations' thrice-debunked climate scam.
Hat tip: Mark Levin.
Well, I'm sure the "middle class" -- whoever that is -- appreciates the one campaign promise that Barack Obama kept.
Electric bills have skyrocketed in the last five years, a sharp reversal from a quarter-century when Americans enjoyed stable power bills even as they used more electricity......Households paid a record $1,419 on average for electricity in 2010, the fifth consecutive yearly increase above the inflation rate, a USA TODAY analysis of government data found. The jump has added about $300 a year to what households pay for electricity. That's the largest sustained increase since a run-up in electricity prices during the 1970s...
...Electricty [sic] is consuming a greater share of Americans' after-tax income than at any time since 1996 — about $1.50 of every $100 in income at a time when income growth has stagnated, a USA TODAY analysis of Bureau of Economic Analysis data found...
...High taxes, limits on air-polluting fuels and the expense of maintaining an underground transmission system keep consumer costs high, says ConEd spokesman Chris Olert.
But then again, maybe USA Today is some kind of propaganda arm for the right wing Visigoths.
Or perhaps the EPA is just an out-of-control, unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy bent on de-industrializing America in pursuit of the United Nations' thrice-debunked climate scam.

One Year Ago Today, Brian Terry Was Murdered Thanks to Eric Holder's Fast and Furious (Which is kinda like Watergate, Only With 200 Dead)
On the one-year anniversary of Brian Terry's murder at the hands of Eric Holder's Operation Fast and Furious, the family of the slain Border Patrol agent spoke out in The Los Angeles Times.
May Brian Terry and all of the others murdered by this criminal operation rest in peace.
And may Eric Holder and everyone else who orchestrated Murdergate receive swift justice in a court of law.
One year after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in southern Arizona, his family said it believes that if a flawed gun-tracking operation run by federal ATF agents violated any laws, then “those responsible for Fast and Furious should be held criminally liable.”The comments came Wednesday as a Border Patrol National Honor Guard held a brief ceremony at a cemetery in Flat Rock, Mich., where Terry was raised and is now buried. He was shot late on the night of Dec. 14 last year while his Border Patrol team was working a rugged canyon south of Tucson, and pronounced dead early the next morning. Two firearms recovered at the scene were traced to Operation Fast and Furious.
The operation was run by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, part of the Department of Justice, and allowed illegal buyers to purchase firearms with the [Ed: I think they mean 'no' here, since there was no attempt to track] hope of tracking the weapons to Mexican cartel leaders. But authorities lost track of hundreds of guns, some of which also surfaced later at crime scenes in Mexico.
“We find it incomprehensible that members of ATF and DOJ would embark on such an egregious operation and then try to conceal the link between this failed investigation and Brian’s murder,” his family said in a statement. “Much to our dismay, no one in ATF or DOJ has come forward to accept responsibility for Operation Fast and Furious.”
Terry’s family continues to press for answers, and said, “We now believe that if it can be shown that laws were broken, then all those responsible for Fast and Furious should be held criminally liable.”
May Brian Terry and all of the others murdered by this criminal operation rest in peace.
And may Eric Holder and everyone else who orchestrated Murdergate receive swift justice in a court of law.
The Horrifying Chart That Democrats and RINOs Don't Want You to See
It has now been nearly 1,000 days since the Democrats last passed a federal budget. This unprecedented act of fiscal irresponsibility -- one that no other Congress in generations has committed -- allows the most profligate administration in American history to continue racking up more than a trillion dollars in deficit spending each year.
What Democrats and big-government Republicans aren't telling you is this: the Obama-Pelosi-Reid "one-time Stimulus package" was built into the baseline, which means each year that the Obamacrats can avoid writing a budget is another year that this cash furnace can continue burning your children's money.
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, decent human beings though they may be, haven't even raised this issue with the public. They don't have the spine to enact the drastic cuts this country requires to survive.
This chart illustrates why we Tea Party activists must nominate and elect the most conservative candidates possible in 2012. We have two missions: to politically obliterate the Marxist Left that has subsumed the empty husk of the Democrat Party; and to continue our hostile takeover of the Republican Party, in order to return it to its Reagan-esque roots.
We have no choice if we are to save this Republic.

QOTD: "Some politicians claim that politicians create jobs... Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says, “My job is to create jobs.”
What hubris! Government has no money of its own. All it does is take from some people and give to others. That may create some jobs, but only by leaving less money in the private sector for job creation. ... Actually, it’s worse than that. Since government commandeers scarce resources by force and doesn’t have to peddle its so-called services on the market to consenting buyers, there’s no feedback mechanism to indicate if those services are worth more to people than what they were forced to go without.
The only people who create real, sustainable jobs are in private businesses — if they’re unsubsidized." --John Stossel

Just in time for Christmas, President Obama gives the gift of unemployment to more than 100,000 Americans
He's the gift that keeps on taking!
Merrrrrrrrrrryyyy Christmas!
Oh, and as an added bonus, the president's decision to delay the gigantic Keystone XL pipeline not only prevents the creation of 20,000 jobs in 2012, it is already costing jobs today.
Rest assured, citizen, that the the president will not rest until every American has a job. That is, while he enjoys his 37 Christmas trees in the White House, prior to leaving this weekend for a 17-day Hawaiian vacation.
In an environment where jobs are hard to find, the Obama administration has thrown more than 100,000 health insurance agents and brokers under the bus and given them the gift of an unemployment line just before the holidays. To make matters worse, a large number of insurance agents, known in the trade as producers, are self-employed and under the prevailing laws may have difficulty receiving unemployment insurance.
It all stems from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), known colloquially as Obamacare. PPACA dictates [price controls for insurers including commission payments]... Insurance agents were recently able to get backing from National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to exclude their commissions from [these price controls].
...Led by National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), which claims to represent 100,000 health insurance agents, brokers, and related professionals, the Obama administration was lobbied hard to provide relief to insurance agents. The hope of the insurance agents had risen because of the recent backing by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
In a recent ruling, the Department of Health and Human Services dashed all hopes.
Merrrrrrrrrrryyyy Christmas!
Oh, and as an added bonus, the president's decision to delay the gigantic Keystone XL pipeline not only prevents the creation of 20,000 jobs in 2012, it is already costing jobs today.
"Layoffs and a brief company shutdown is what employees face at Welspun Tubular Company, which makes steel pipes for the oil industry."
Rest assured, citizen, that the the president will not rest until every American has a job. That is, while he enjoys his 37 Christmas trees in the White House, prior to leaving this weekend for a 17-day Hawaiian vacation.
Surprise! Poll with ties to SEIU and Daily Kos says... Ron Paul getting close to leaders in Iowa
Before you put too much stock in the most recent PPP poll, you may want to review this April 2011 Hill article:
So when you read news like this, take it with a grain of salt.
Really? Methinks that the PPP poll is patently bogus. The Intrade prediction market, probably the best indicator of reality, has Gingrich trading at a 47% chance of winning Iowa versus 29% for Paul.
And let's not forget who Ron Paul really is:
• A man who claims that bloodthirsty Islamist terrorists are morally equivalent to Americans?
• A man who vocally encourages the despicable 9/11 Truther movement?
• A man who embraces virulent anti-semites and is inspired by those who despise Jews?
• A man whose foreign policy prescriptions are so "far left" that they are outright dangerous?
• A man whose strongest supporters vilify Ronald Reagan, William F. Buckley, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Ed Meese, Sarah Palin, etc.?
• A man who despises Israel, a beacon of freedom in an otherwise barbaric Middle East?
• A man so power-hungry that he refuses to rule out a third-party run, which would very likely help reelect Barack Obama?
Jeffrey Lord offers the quintessential summary of Ron Paul for conservatives:
I don't care how well-organized the Paulbots are in Iowa. I put as much stock in PPP polling as I do in lunar cheese. No thinking Republican would ever cast a vote for a man who advocates a George McGovern foreign policy. Ever.
A top union and a top liberal blog announced Tuesday that they'll team up to sponsor polling through the 2012 elections. Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said they will join forces to conduct issue and campaign polling in key states and races over the next two years...
...The SEIU/Daily Kos poll will use Public Policy Polling (PPP), a Democratic firm that uses automated polling rather than live, over-the-phone survey methods. Moulitsas contracted with PPP in June of 2010 after severing ties with Research 2000, which faced allegations of producing faulty poll results.
So when you read news like this, take it with a grain of salt.
Oh my: Ron Paul within one point of Gingrich in Iowa? ... "There has been some major movement in the Republican Presidential race in Iowa over the last week, with what was a 9 point lead for Newt Gingrich now all the way down to a single point. Gingrich is at 22% to 21% for Paul with Mitt Romney at 16%, Michele Bachmann at 11%, Rick Perry at 9%, Rick Santorum at 8%, Jon Huntsman at 5%, and Gary Johnson at 1%."

Jeffrey Lord offers the quintessential summary of Ron Paul for conservatives:
The Ron Paul campaign is really about re-educating America to what can only be called Neoliberalism. Which, based on the evidence and writings of its supporters, appears to be a thin gruel of free markets and non-interventionism seasoned heavily with anti-Semitism, morally obtuse Neo-Confederates, and an outspoken contempt for both conservatism and conservative leaders past and present.

Today's lesson in Sharia law: Saudi Arabia beheads woman for 'witchcraft'
The unindicted co-conspirators known as CAIR hardest hit.
The real tragedy, according to CAIR insiders, is the public relations hit theirpolitical system religion is taking over incidents like this.
A woman was beheaded in Saudi Arabia for practicing witchcraft and sorcery, the kingdom's Interior Ministry said, prompting Amnesty International to call for a halt in executions there.
Amina bint Abdel Halim Nassar was executed Monday for having "committed the practice of witchcraft and sorcery," according to an Interior Ministry statement. Nassar was investigated before her arrest and was "convicted of what she was accused of based on the law," the statement said. Her beheading took place in the Qariyat province of the region of Al-Jawf, the ministry said.
In a statement issued late Monday, the human rights group called the execution "deeply shocking" and said it "highlights the urgent need for a halt in executions in Saudi Arabia."
"While we don't know the details of the acts which the authorities accused Amina of committing, the charge of sorcery has often been used in Saudi Arabia to punish people, generally after unfair trials, for exercising their right to freedom of speech or religion," said Philip Luther, Amnesty International's interim director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme.
The real tragedy, according to CAIR insiders, is the public relations hit their
Holder Justice Department to begin investigating... Voter ID laws
Although it would seem -- curiously! -- that the New Black Panthers have once again escaped scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Senator John Cornyn has warned Holder not to mess with Texas' voter ID law.
Oh, and the examples of vote fraud are real and they're spectacular:
This is all part of the Obama administration's plan to erode the integrity of the ballot box, Chicago-style, prior to the 2012 election.
Actions like this, along with his direction of "Operation Fast and Furious" and his stonewalling of the Kagan health care memos, highlight the need for the House Judiciary Committe to begin impeachment proceedings against Eric Holder.
The most lawless attorney general in American history needs to be held to account.
The Obama administration on Tuesday will wade into the increasingly divisive national debate over new voting laws in several states that could depress turnout among minorities and others who helped elect the president in 2008.
A dozen states this year tightened rules requiring voters to present state-issued photo identification at the polls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Although Democratic governors vetoed four of the measures, liberal and civil rights groups have been raising alarms about the remaining laws, calling them an “assault on democracy” and an attempt to depress minority voter turnout.
Supporters of the tighter laws say they are needed to combat voter fraud.
With the presidential campaign heating up, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will deliver a speech Tuesday expressing concerns about the voter-identification laws, along with a Texas redistricting plan before the Supreme Court that fails to take into account the state’s burgeoning Hispanic population, he said in an interview Monday...
Meanwhile, Senator John Cornyn has warned Holder not to mess with Texas' voter ID law.
Texas Sen. John Cornyn sent a clear message to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder this afternoon: Don’t mess with Texas’ voter identification law... “Voter identification laws are constitutional and necessary to prevent fraud at the ballot box,” Cornyn said.
The San Antonio Republican, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made his comments hours before Holder is scheduled to speak at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library in Austin. Holder is planning to criticize “voter ID” laws passed by Republican legislatures in states including Texas.
Democrats say the laws are designed to reduce minority voter turnout in the 2012 election. But Cornyn said President Obama is the one who’s politicizing the issue.
“Facing an election challenge next year, this administration has chosen to target efforts by the states to protect the democratic process,” Cornyn said. “They would do well instead to focus on job creation, the economy, and reducing our national debt.”
Oh, and the examples of vote fraud are real and they're spectacular:
Never mind the fact that Mississippi NAACP leader Lessadolla Sowers was recently sentenced to 50 years in prison for vote fraud, that the now-defunct ACORN recently received the maximum fine possible for vote fraud by a Nevada judge or that Holder’s own Justice Department is accused of making a sweetheart settlement with members of the New Black Panther Party who were accused of voter intimidation in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008.
This is all part of the Obama administration's plan to erode the integrity of the ballot box, Chicago-style, prior to the 2012 election.
Actions like this, along with his direction of "Operation Fast and Furious" and his stonewalling of the Kagan health care memos, highlight the need for the House Judiciary Committe to begin impeachment proceedings against Eric Holder.

Beware the co-worker with a camera-equipped spywatch
Given the proliferation of micro-cameras and mobile devices, I guess any expectation of privacy we might have had ended, oh, about 12 minutes ago.
The next growth industry: counter-surveillance tools that can help detect and defeat spy-cams and the like.
A story has reached me of one [particular IT worker]. I won't betray his place of employment, save to say that it is in a large corporation in New York. I will, though, betray his simple method of, well, amusing himself. He takes pictures of the ladies in his office with his watch. His gentlemanliness is such that he takes these pictures without them knowing.
What he does with them is still open to conjecture. However, it seems that his watch is the SVP MW09.How can I possibly know this? This particular IT guy thinks there's nothing wrong with wandering around the office taking covert pictures. Perhaps he even believes it's part of a subtle seduction technique.
Oddly, last week he thought there was nothing wrong with admitting to one of the subjects of his covert photography what he is doing... [and she] asked that I might make others aware of the possibilities that these no doubt fine pieces of technology offer to the unscrupulous.
She told me: "How do I know what kind of pictures he already has and how long he's been doing this?"
...Clearly anyone in any place of work could buy one of these watches... So, as you wander into your office tomorrow morning, admire everyone's watch--and then check it for a hidden camera. Just, you know, for fun.
The next growth industry: counter-surveillance tools that can help detect and defeat spy-cams and the like.

QOTD: "Given that Merkozy cannot bring themselves to accept that Europe's debacle stems from the euro itself, from a 30pc currency misalignment between from North and South, and from an over-leveraged €23 trillion banking bubble that German, French, Dutch, Belgian regulators allowed to happen… given that, yes, I suppose they have to find a scapegoat.
They have to whip up a witchhunt against somebody, so why not Anglo-Saxon bankers? Nasty reflexes are at work. German and French politicians in particular should be very careful about inciting populist hatred against a group that makes such easy prey. We have been there before." --Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

Photo: after Perry attack, Obama family reluctantly trudges to church
Rick Perry's nickname should be "Muezzin", cuz it appears he successfully issued a call to prayer for the President.
To be fair, there aren't any really good Black Liberation Theology churches in the D.C. area, which could explain the president's reluctance to attend services.
Texas Governor Rick Perry's recent campaign ad vow[ed] to end Obama's "war on religion.
President Obama publicly attended church on Sunday, and spoke about Christ's birth during a Christmas concert program that included Jennifer Hudson, The Band Perry, and Justin Bieber....The last time the family publicly attended church on Sunday was in April 2011 for Easter.
To be fair, there aren't any really good Black Liberation Theology churches in the D.C. area, which could explain the president's reluctance to attend services.
Obamas somehow make do with only 37 Christmas trees in White House before they leave on 17-day Hawaiian vacation
Like the movie Fletch, I can imagine President Obama ordering all of these extravagant parties, vacations and over-the-top celebrations and, when the tab comes, he says: "Put it on the Underhill account."
And we're the Underhills.
Yeah, and I'll bet the ginger for the gingerbread house was grown by Michelle in her organic garden.
You know, the only members of the "one-percent" I know are the Obama family, Congress and the rest of the overpaid paper-pushers in Washington.
And we're the Underhills.
The economy may be weak, unemployment strong and the first family soon to vacate the White House for another half-month of vacation in Hawaii.
But the Obamas have gone all out in decorating their house this year, including a nearly quarter-ton gingerbread White House.
They have also installed 37 different Christmas trees. Thirty of the trees are live, or were, including one nearly 19-feet tall from Wisconsin. Seven of the three dozen Christmas trees are artificial or homemade including, of course, one from recyclables.
"We have 37 Christmas trees here at the White House--37!" Michelle Obama excitedly told a recent group of visitors. "That's a lot, right? Yes, that's a lot of trees. And we also have a 400-pound White House gingerbread house."
Yeah, and I'll bet the ginger for the gingerbread house was grown by Michelle in her organic garden.
You know, the only members of the "one-percent" I know are the Obama family, Congress and the rest of the overpaid paper-pushers in Washington.
More SmartPower™ From Obama: Hey Iran, Can We Get Our Drone Back?
No, seriously. I'm not making this up.
Even ABC News is chortling as the Organizer-In-Chief tries to push the Reset button... all the way back to the Carter administration.
Impressive. What's next? A Presidential request to pretty-please-stop-building-nukes-with-a-cherry-on-top?
Even ABC News is chortling as the Organizer-In-Chief tries to push the Reset button... all the way back to the Carter administration.
President Barack Obama said today the U.S. has requested that Iran return the highly sensitive stealth drone that crash landed there two weeks ago, but an Iranian general already said that's not going to happen.
"We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said at a news conference... A senior Iranian military commander, however, said on Iranian television Sunday that not only would Iran not turn over the drone, but warned of a "bigger response" to the "hostile act" of crossing into Iranian airspace."No one returns the symbol of aggression to the party that sought secret and vital intelligence related to the national security of a country," Iranian Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC] Lt. Commander Gen. Hossein Salami said, according to Iran's Fars News Agency.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said told reporters today that "given Iran's behavior to date, we do not expect them to comply" with Obama's request. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta also said he didn't expect Iran to hand over the drone...
Impressive. What's next? A Presidential request to pretty-please-stop-building-nukes-with-a-cherry-on-top?
