EXCLUSIVE PHOTO Must Credit @directorblue: Alleged Harry Reid Pederasty Victim Comes Forward!
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - With rumors of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's pederasty flying fast and furious, at least one reported victim has come forward.
At their request, we are protecting the victim's identity. However, the victim did visit our offices in Las Vegas to offer details of Reid's alleged crimes.
"Reid promised to take me to his own 'amusement park' and that we would get to ride on a really awesome new ride called 'The Sphincter'.
"Of course, we didn't really go to an amusement park and I later found out there isn't any ride called 'The Sphincter'.
* * * * * * * * * Only one question remains: when will Senator Reid address these disgusting allegations?

That's a bold strategy, Cotton: Obama campaign appears to have spotted Mitt Romney the state of Indiana
David "Red Diaper Baby" Axelrod hardest hit:
Aside from Rasmussen, I don't trust any of these polls that show Obama leading Romney.
My suspicion is that we will see the return of "The Bradley Effect" come November, as the most racially divisive president and attorney general in history are pink-slipped.
Hat tip: BadBlue.
Four years ago, President Obama became the first Democrat since 1964 to win Indiana. He looks unlikely to repeat that feat.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds challenger Mitt Romney picking up 51% of the vote while the president earns just 35%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and 11% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The Indiana survey of 400 Likely Voters was conducted July 31-August 1, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.

Crikeys: Former Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Demands the President Release His College Transcripts
This morning on State of the Union, former Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs took a surprising stand and issued a demand that his old boss release his college records.
Gibbs' exact statement: "Put [them] out... Candy, have you ever, have you ever seen anybody go to such great lengths to not put something out? When you generally don't put something out, isn't it because you're generally hiding something?
This may not be a precise transcript of Gibbs' comments because my dogs were barking during the show. But I'm pretty sure Robert Gibbs just insisted that Barack Obama reveal how he was admitted to top-notch, Ivy League schools despite his self-admitted drug abuse in high school. And Gibbs went on to ask that Obama's campaign reveal the president's grades.
Thank you, Robert Gibbs: the American people deserve to know. End the hiding, Mr. President.

QOTD: "The idea that the office on the corner will always be able to dispense Government Cheese does not reflect the normal historical experience. Rather it reflects that peculiar period of stability and prosperity which followed the end of the Second World War: the Pax Americana, which the Left hates. Our civilizational attitudes have been formed on the basis of the exception, not the rule.
But though they may hate the Pax Americana, the Greens probably can’t live without it. Can’t live without the Ipods, the connectivity, the store-bought food, the cafe-bought lattes — all the ugly things made by private industry. And by paring down the redundancies in the system as wasteful and unsightly; by reducing the energy reserves of the system in favor of such fairy schemes as windmills and carbon trading the Greens have made the system far less robust than it could have been. Because they are never going to need the Design Margin. Ever. Until they do." --Richard Fernandez

David Plouffe: Obama has "Clear momentum" on the economy

Photo: Female Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen looks perfectly natural to me
Oops. My bad. This is a photo of Vera De Milo.
On the other hand, this is Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen:
She looks perfectly natural to me, though she was reportedly ejected from a Tesco store for carrying around a six pack and two guns.
I'll be here all week. Remember to try the roast beef special... and to tip your waitresses.
On the other hand, this is Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen:
More than a few eyebrows were raised when Ye Shiwen, a 16-year-old Chinese swimmer, knocked five seconds off her personal best in the 400-meter individual medley. She even swam the last lap faster than [male] U.S. medal winner Ryan Lochte.
Commentators watching the race called it "unbelievable." But John Leonard, head of the American Swimming Coaches Association, went a big step further, saying her race "was reminiscent of some old East German swimmer."
... "If there are suspicions, then please lay them out using facts and data," Xu Qi, head of the Chinese swimming team. told the state news agency Xinhua. "Don't use your own suspicions to knock down others. This shows lack of respect for athletes and for Chinese swimming."
The final world from Olympic officials cleared the Chinese swimmer's name.
"She's clean. That's the end of the story," said Colin Moynihan, chairman of the British Olympic Association reporting on the results of official drug tests.
She looks perfectly natural to me, though she was reportedly ejected from a Tesco store for carrying around a six pack and two guns.

Who knew? The Hill's Amie Parnes says that rising unemployment numbers help Obama!
Someone named "Amie Parnes", if that is his/her/its real name, posted an inadvertently comic article at The Hill entitled "As jobs picture improves, so do Obama reelection chances."
The latest jobs numbers, however, were a disaster.
Not only did the "official" unemployment number (or U-3) jump up a notch to 8.3 percent, but the real picture is far more dire. Mike Shedlock explains.
That's not all: James Pethokoukis relays a chart from the St. Louis Federal Reserve (above) that highlights the awesome failure of the Obama-Democrats: the economy needs to create 11 million jobs to return the country to Bush administration numbers.
And, as real journalists know, the true U-3 unemployment rate is in double digits.
Forward!
As for Blaming Bush: it never gets old for President SCOAMF. Every time he does it, he's simply telling us he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
But you already knew that.
The latest jobs numbers, however, were a disaster.
Not only did the "official" unemployment number (or U-3) jump up a notch to 8.3 percent, but the real picture is far more dire. Mike Shedlock explains.
This month, those "not" in the labor force increased by 348,000 to 88,340,000, another record high. If you are not in the labor force, you are not counted as unemployed... In the last year, those "not" in the labor force rose by 2,027,000...
Over the past several years people have dropped out of the labor force at an astounding, almost unbelievable rate, holding the unemployment rate artificially low...
Given the complete distortions of reality with respect to not counting people who allegedly dropped out of the work force, it is easy to misrepresent the headline numbers.
Digging under the surface, the drop in the unemployment rate over the past two years is nothing but a statistical mirage. Things are much worse than the reported numbers indicate.
That's not all: James Pethokoukis relays a chart from the St. Louis Federal Reserve (above) that highlights the awesome failure of the Obama-Democrats: the economy needs to create 11 million jobs to return the country to Bush administration numbers.
And, as real journalists know, the true U-3 unemployment rate is in double digits.
Once again, a bad jobs report comes out, and both the White House and the media trumpet it as "good" news and a sign the economy's turning around. It is in fact a dismal jobs report, as the numbers clearly show.
On the surface, the headline numbers don't look so bad. The Labor Department reported that U.S. businesses created 163,000 net new payroll jobs in July, while the unemployment rate was "essentially unchanged" at 8.3%.
No sooner had the numbers come out than President Obama was standing at a podium before the cameras, claiming credit for the job growth and again blaming former President Bush for the bad state of the economy.
"This morning we learned that our businesses created 172,000 new jobs in the month of July," he said... But "we" haven't in fact created any jobs. As a matter of fact, since Obama has entered office, some 1.1 million payroll jobs have disappeared.
This year, businesses have created 151,000 new jobs a month on average — way below the 300,000-plus per month job creation in a typical recovery-expansion.
If that still sounds good, understand this: Just to keep up with the natural rate of growth in the workforce, the economy has to create about 130,000 new jobs a month. So at this rate, it'll take us four years and four months just to get back to the number of jobs we had in 2007.
Sound like progress to you?
Forward!
As for Blaming Bush: it never gets old for President SCOAMF. Every time he does it, he's simply telling us he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
But you already knew that.
Obamanomics: Ryan Lochte's parents face foreclosure in Florida
And if the Dissociative Press says it, it must be true:
As most folks who live in the real world know, the American economy remains in the Obama Depression.
The parents of U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte are facing foreclosure in Florida.
According to a lawsuit filed in May in Volusia County, CitiMortgage is suing to foreclose on Steven and Ileana Lochte. The bank is seeking to recoup $250,000. The news was first reported by TMZ.
Court records show that Ileana Lochte asked the court to dismiss the case last month. Messages left Saturday for her attorney were not immediately returned.
The Lochtes divorced last year. Court records did not show whether Steven Lochte had an attorney. Both parents have been in London recently to watch their son compete.
Ryan Lochte has won five medals, including two gold medals, in swimming events at the London Olympics.
As most folks who live in the real world know, the American economy remains in the Obama Depression.
Great News: ex-World Bank Official Says United States Debt Has Finally Achieved "Death Spiral" Status
Although he didn't mention the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" by name:
The cracks in our society are appearing more and more frequently.
Three large cities in California declared bankruptcy in the last two weeks alone.
The Washington Post reports that Congress won't have money for the U.S. transportation system within two years. Trenton, New Jersey laid off a third of its police force. Colorado Springs removed a third of its streetlights, trashcans, and bus routes.
The entire gambit is called "The Cloward-Piven Strategy"... and it's anything but a conspiracy theory.
Hat tip: Cold Fury.
Richard Duncan, formerly of the World Bank and chief economist at Blackhorse Asset Mgmt., says America's $16 trillion federal debt has escalated into a "death spiral, "as he told CNBC.
And it could result in a depression so severe that he doesn't "think our civilization could survive it."
And Duncan is not alone in warning that the U.S. economy may go into a "death spiral."
Since the recession, noted economists including Laurence Kotlikoff, a former member of President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, have come to similar conclusions... Kotlikoff estimates the true fiscal gap is $211 trillion when unfunded entitlements like Social Security and Medicare are included.
However, while the debt crisis numbers are well known to most Americans, the economy hasn't suffered a major correction for almost 4 years.
The cracks in our society are appearing more and more frequently.

Everything this federal government touches -- with the exception of our military and intelligence branches, which are actually authorized by the Constitution -- turns to crap.

And you can quote me on that.
A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims her employer discriminated against her because of her disabilities.
Oh, the employer? The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. agency that enforces federal employment discrimination laws.
Mary Bullock, who has multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, was an administrative law judge for the EEOC from 1999 to 2007. She sued the commission in October 2006, alleging violations of the Rehabilitation Act.
Ms. Bullock accused the agency of retaliating against her for seeking the accommodations because of her MS and for alleging discrimination after her requests were ignored.
She said in her lawsuit the agency withheld promotion, refused to allowed her to work at home and imposed tighter deadlines on Ms. Bullock than on her non-disabled colleagues. Ms. Bullock said she was ostracized and effectively discharged.
So it turns out the EEOC could be violating its own regulations. Perfect. That's the entire federal government in microcosm.

Don't Cry For Me, America
In the early 20th century, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world. While Great Britain's maritime power and its far-flung empire had propelled it to a dominant position among the world's industrialized nations, only the United States challenged Argentina for the position of the world's second-most powerful economy.
It was blessed with abundant agriculture, vast swaths of rich farmland laced with navigable rivers and an accessible port system. Its level of industrialization was higher than many European countries: railroads, automobiles and telephones were commonplace.
In 1916, a new president was elected. Hipólito Irigoyen had formed a party called The Radicals under the banner of "fundamental change" with an appeal to the middle class.
Among Irigoyen's changes: mandatory pension insurance, mandatory health insurance, and support for low-income housing construction to stimulate the economy. Put simply, the state assumed economic control of a vast swath of the country's operations and began assessing new payroll taxes to fund its efforts.
With an increasing flow of funds into these entitlement programs, the government's payouts soon became overly generous. Before long its outlays surpassed the value of the taxpayers' contributions. Put simply, it quickly became under-funded, much like the United States' Social Security and Medicare programs.
The death knell for the Argentine economy, however, came with the election of Juan Perón. Perón had a fascist and corporatist upbringing; he and his charismatic wife aimed their populist rhetoric at the nation's rich.
This targeted group "swiftly expanded to cover most of the propertied middle classes, who became an enemy to be defeated and humiliated."
Under Perón, the size of government bureaucracies exploded through massive programs of social spending and by encouraging the growth of labor unions.
High taxes and economic mismanagement took their inevitable toll even after Perón had been driven from office. But his populist rhetoric and "contempt for economic realities" lived on. Argentina's federal government continued to spend far beyond its means.
Hyperinflation exploded in 1989, the final stage of a process characterized by "industrial protectionism, redistribution of income based on increased wages, and growing state intervention in the economy..."
The Argentinian government's practice of printing money to pay off its public debts had crushed the economy. Inflation hit 3000%, reminiscent of the Weimar Republic. Food riots were rampant; stores were looted; the country descended into chaos.
And by 1994, Argentina's public pensions -- the equivalent of Social Security -- had imploded. The payroll tax had increased from 5% to 26%, but it wasn't enough. In addition, Argentina had implemented a value-added tax (VAT), new income taxes, a personal tax on wealth, and additional revenues based upon the sale of public enterprises. These crushed the private sector, further damaging the economy.
A government-controlled "privatization" effort to rescue seniors' pensions was attempted. But, by 2001, those funds had also been raided by the government, the monies replaced by Argentina's defaulted government bonds.
By 2002, "...government fiscal irresponsibility... induced a national economic crisis as severe as America's Great Depression."
In 1902 Argentina was one of the world's richest countries. Little more than a hundred years later, it is poverty-stricken, struggling to meet its debt obligations in the midst of droughts and economic malaise.
We've seen this movie before. The Democrats' populist plans -- their inane class warfare arguments -- can't possibly work, because government bankrupts everything it touches. History teaches us that ObamaCare and unfunded entitlement programs will be utter and complete disasters.Today's Democrats are guilty of more than stupidity; they are enslaving future generations to poverty and misery. And they will be long gone when it all implodes. They will be as cold and dead as Juan Perón when the piper must ultimately be paid.
November is the last chance we may have to save this precious country.

QOTD: "Modern journalism is indistinguishable from public relations. PR people do not investigate or report, they come up with a narrative, break it down into talking points and then sell it down by the docks. Their narrative is "Our company is great and the other company is bad". When their company does something wrong, then it's, "Our company really isn't responsible for this" and "The other company is much worse than we are."
When it comes to politics all you really hear from the media anymore is the same lazy spin you can find on corporate press releases. Read the press releases from a squabble between two companies, switch out the names of the companies to, "Obama" and "Romney" and imagine that Obama Inc. owns the media. Now you know everything you need to know about politics." --Daniel Greenfield

Checkmate: Idiot Abuser of Innocent Chick-Fil-A Employee Has Suddenly "Left the Company"
Vintage media didn't bother covering Chick-Fil-A Apprecation Day... or the bizarre Leftist who taped himself verbally abusing an innocent employee of the restaurant chain.
Turns out that the self-made YouTube star is no longer affiliated with his employer:
I, for one, applaud Vante for its stand against fascism.
Nice Deb has more.

Turns out that the self-made YouTube star is no longer affiliated with his employer:
TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.
I, for one, applaud Vante for its stand against fascism.
Nice Deb has more.
