TOTAL PROTONIC REVERSAL: R.I.P., Harold Ramis
Carl Spackler: So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over there in the Himalayas.
Angie D'Annunzio: A looper?
Carl Spackler: A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald . . . striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one—big hitter, the Lama—long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. You know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga . . . gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteen and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

'Biggest observed meteorite impact' hits Moon
Scientists say they have observed a record-breaking impact on the Moon.
Spanish astronomers spotted a meteorite with a mass of about half a tonne crashing into the lunar surface last September... They say the collision would have generated a flash of light so bright that it would have been visible from Earth.
..."This is the largest, brightest impact we have ever observed on the Moon," said Prof Jose Madiedo, of the University of Huelva in south-western Spain... "The impact we detected lasted over eight seconds... "Usually lunar impacts have a very short duration - just a fraction of a second. But the impact we detected lasted over eight seconds. It was almost as bright as the Pole Star, which makes it the brightest impact event that we have recorded from Earth," said Prof Madiedo.
The researchers say a lump of rock weighing about 400kg (900lb) and travelling at 61,000km/h (38,000mph) slammed into the surface of the Moon... They believe the dense mass, which had a width of 0.6-1.4m (2-4.6ft), hit with energy equivalent to about 15 tonnes of TNT...
...Unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to shield it from meteorite collisions, and its surface shows a record of every strike.
The impact is said to have left a crater more than 40 meters wide, or roughly the circumference of Michael Moore, if memory serves.

REP. GOHMERT: Boehner Will Be Gone as Speaker by January
One of the tea-party leaders in Congress believes the days of Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker of the House of Representatives are numbered... Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, ... predicts Boehner will no longer be speaker “by next January,” regardless of the outcome of the midterm election in November.
The Texan doesn’t think it will take a coup to remove Boehner, believing the tide is already moving in that direction, and saying, “I think people are ready for a change.”
And Gohmert would see that as a change for the better, because, he says, “We’ve got to have someone who is smart enough to realize” it was (Sen. Majority Leader) Harry Reid (D-Nev.) who shut down the government, not the GOP.
That is precisely right. Boehner had a unique opportunity on Leno to sell the conservative vision of opportunity, full employment and less government. Instead, he slouched in his chair, blamed his own party for the shutdown, talked about himself, and -- in general -- exhibited all the charisma of a moldy blanket.
In addition to predicting the downfall of Boehner as speaker, Gohmert also [said]:
• He believes the majority of GOP voters have tea-party values
• He approves of GOP primary challenges to establishment incumbents by conservatives
• He suspects the establishment GOP is at war with the tea party because of “fear”
• He feels it is realistic to believe a tea-party candidate could win the presidency
...Gohmert described tea parties as the GOP’s natural constituency, taxpayers who are tired of seeing government waste and abuse.
...The lawmaker predicted that if the GOP disenfranchises tea-party voters, they will stay home on Election Day... “Look at 2012,” he said. “You had millions and millions of Americans who were so turned off by an extremely nice, but moderate (GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney) that the Republican establishment put up for us.”
Soft-spoken but adamant, Gohmert insisted, “It should be pretty clear by now” that what he called “a very nice moderate like Bob Dole, or a moderate but good man with the Hanoi Hilton in his background, like John McCain, or an extremely nice moderate like Mitt Romney, are not the answer to getting voters out and taking the Senate majority back.”
He warned, “I hope they’ll wake up before they ruin the chance of taking the Senate this year.”
I encourage you to help Mr. Boehner on his way back to the private sector by supporting conservative Republican J.D. Winteregg for Congress. I'm sure Mr. Boehner's tanning booth operator, liquor purveyor and favorite Speedway cigarette salesman will all appreciate the help.

OH, MY: Citizens of Ukraine Demand Their Own Second Amendment
The Ukraine Gun Owners Association wants the new government to add their own right to bear arms to the country's constitution.
As of today Ukrainian Gun Owners Association will start to work on the preparation of amendments to the Constitution, which will provide an unconditional right for Ukrainian citizens to bear arms.
People gathered in Independence Square in Kiev after President Viktor Yanukovich rejected a European Union trade deal for a $15 billion bailout from Russia in November. It was relatively peaceful for three months, but violence escalated on February 18. Over 70 people died during the week and amateur videos showed snipers shooting at unarmed protesters.
People should have the right to bear arms, which will be put in written into the Constitution.
Authorities should not and will not be stronger than its people!
Armed people are treated with respect!
America's founding fathers implemented the Second Amendment because it is a natural right for people to defend themselves.
According to GunPolicy.org, Ukraine's gun laws are described as restrictive. The government owns seven million guns while there are only three million guns for private citizens. A citizen must prove they have a legitimate reason to own a firearm.

Only when Government is less powerful than the public can freedom exist.
And the only way the public can hold more leverage than the Government is if they are armed.
If we look through our history books we don’t see many examples of a population destroying itself but we do see numerous examples of a population being destroyed by its Government." --Capitol Commentary

ANALYSIS: Obama puts national security at risk by gutting defense budget in favor of massive welfare programs
Randy Forbes is a lonely man. President Obama’s stewardship of American armed forces has been a dismal failure, yet few on Capitol Hill have waved red flags over it.
Forbes, however, has been waving them furiously.The Republican congressman from Virginia recently penned a pointed letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. It’s a warning shot, discharged in anticipation of the Quadrennial Defense Review, the report the Pentagon must deliver to Congress every four years to layout the long-term plans, concerns and requirements for the armed forces.
“The QDR has become an exercise in lowest-common-denominator thinking that fails to light a way forward for our long-term military planning,” Forbes wrote Hagel. The lawmaker fears that the forthcoming QDR will amount to little more than a rubber stamp for slashing military capabilities and lowering readiness.
DEMOCRAT UTOPIA OF ILLINOIS: No money for failing schools; public sector pensions and pay raises get higher priority
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — It’s been a parade of disappointment at the Illinois Capitol this month.
Public schools, universities, hospitals, doctors, nursing homes, public health advocates and just about anybody else that receives state money have all trudged to the statehouse to be publicly reminded that Illinois will lose more than $1 billion if the 2011 “temporary” income tax increases are allowed to expire.“Should we end up having to cut $1.9 billion out of our revenue stream this year…that would mean every single program mentioned as being of interest to (the Illinois Human Service committee) would have to be cut in its entirety,” state Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, cautioned lawmakers Thursday.
It’s not just that the state may take in less in tax dollars. Illinois is also spending more.

QOTD: "The coming crash of U.S. diplomacy is not idle speculation about a remote future. Our declining prestige is already apparent globally; when all three Middle East negotiations fail conclusively, America's influence will fall further. Friends and adversaries alike are recalibrating their policies accordingly...
Not apprehending these realities or foreseeing their consequences debilitates the United States, discourages its allies and emboldens its adversaries. The coming collapse of all three of Obama's negotiations will convince foreign governments that his policies are dooming Washington's Middle East influence to precipitous decline. And since appearance is reality in international politics, America's ability to influence events — in Egypt for example, where the military government is already reverting to pre-Sadat days, purchasing arms from Russia — will sink further. Moreover, the opportunity costs of not focusing on threats elsewhere, such as China's belligerent territorial claims in its coastal waters, are enormous." --John Bolton

DESPICABLE: Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI) Savages Leukemia Patient for Describing Her Obamacare Experiences
Yesterday, Rep Gary Peters (D-MI) began attacking cancer patient Julie Boonstra for daring to speak out against ObamaCare.
Her crime?
She appeared in an Americans For Prosperity television ad and described her devastating and disheartening experiences with Obamacare.
Instead of answering the concerns, Peters had his lawyers try to get the ad pulled from Michigan stations. Here's the copy of the letter Peters' attorneys sent to try and silence dissent (PDF).
Her story of a canceled policy is true not just for her, but millions of Americans.
This afternoon, AFP-Michigan will accompany Julie Boonstra in her visit to Gary Peters home; she wants an apology.

BREAKING: I Endorse J.D. Winteregg over John Boehner in #OH8
DRJ: J.D., tell us a little about yourself and your rationale for running against John Boehner.
JD: I'm a teacher part-time and an adjunct professor and am also working on my PhD at Ohio State. I've also lived abroad and gotten a sense of where socialism leads. At the time, it struck me that Marxism could never really take root here. I came back to the U.S. and worked for Sprint in the private sector down south until my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. So I came back to Ohio and started working in academia.
My time in the PhD program was enlightening: I was exposed to real progressivism, what they say behind the scenes. I've seen that the progressives are trying to destroy capitalism. The are doing so by undermining Christianity, the family, our economic system, etc.
During the 2012 campaign, I saw the GOP fail to react to the dire threats of progressivism. It was extremely disheartening. I was seeing that the Republicans had no concept of what they were up against. I felt the GOP had to change. We need real conservatives. And seeing Boehner operate as an enabler, I felt as though I had to run against him. We need fresh ideas, youth, articulate conservatism.
DRJ: When you say you view progressivism as a dire threat, help me understand the nature of what we face.

How is a world currently engulfed in flames of revolution supposed to react?
The problem for a President who makes any excuse to hit up a golf course or admits to watching tons of HBO is there are still events in the world happening outside his windows. People are desperate for American leadership and can't wait for the killer on True Detective to be revealed.
Nobody in Kiev is interested in the fallout of the Red Wedding.

Right now in Kiev, historical statues and art are being burned in front of the world. He was content to remain silent and watch a movie about it happening instead. The real world does not interest this President. The set design does." --Stephen Miller

ACTION NEEDED: Don’t Let the IRS Silence YOU!
Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch:
President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service has quietly announced new rules that strictly limit the ability of 501(c)(4), tax-exempt organizations from carrying out their core missions in the months leading up to federal, state, and local elections. These new rules are seemingly designed to silence the growing conservative grassroots and Tea Party movement in America. Our First Amendment rights are in jeopardy. Please join us in fighting back now!
These new IRS rules will:
- Keep citizens from holding their public officials accountable
- Silence citizens and chill the very purpose of grassroots groups

Papa B sends us this critical medical update.
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speed up heart not make live longer; that like say you can extend life of car by driving faster. Want live longer? Take nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does cow eat? Hay and corn. What are these? Vegetables. So, steak nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And pork chop give 100% recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine. That means they take water out of fruity bit; get even more goodness that way. Beer also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
How long will Roll Call Magazine continue to embarrass itself?
His recent articles are reminiscent of a modern-day Leni Riefenstahl, offering a one-sided view into the clusterbungle known as "Obamacare", which the majority of Americans recognize as the most ill-conceived, unconstitutional, amoral, Marxist, and criminal excuse for a "law" in American history.
Goddard's recent coverage include such gems as:
• "Don’t Believe Those Obamacare Attack Ads"
• "The Stock Market Loves Obamacare"
• "California Enrollment Surges Past Projected Goal"
• "Obamacare Now Needs to Take Root"
• "Healthcare.Gov is Improving: Time to Scrutinize State Exchanges"
• "Assessing Impact of Obamacare on Workforce is an ‘Imprecise Art’"
• "Obamacare Enrollment Still Advances Despite State Opposition"
• "As Insurers Seek Profits, Poor Face Higher Premiums on Obamacare Exchanges"
• "An Abundance of Good News for Obamacare"
• "Obamacare Killing Jobs? It’s a Myth"
Littered through Goddard's coverage of other topics are predictable hits such as "Holder Calls for End to Felon Disenfranchisement Laws", "Obama’s Abuse of Executive Powers Debunked" (someone inform liberal Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley), "Extreme Weather Reignites Coal Debate", "One Percent Wins But Charity Loses", "Protests Continue Over ‘Greatest Mass Deportation in U.S. History’", "CBO Minimum Wage Report is ‘Remarkably Biased’", "Will an Increase in the Minimum Wage Really Hurt Jobs?", etc., etc., etc.
I can't figure out whether Goddard is an economic illiterate, a malevolent propagandist, or just another Soviet sleeper spy helping to destroy the Constitution.
I'm open to suggestions.
In the mean time, ignore Roll Call and read the uncensored news at BadBlue.com.
MARK LEVIN: Obama has hijacked the institutions of government and unleashed them on the people
The FCC, call it whatever you want, Barack Obama's henchman, Barack Obama's comrades, there, that's right, all over the federal government have hijacked the institutions of government and are now turning them on the people. Whether it's the EPA, or the Department of Justice, the Interior Department, NOAA, this, that or the other, they're using the government, they are using a law against us. Which is the definition of tyranny.
They have abused the First Amendment with wiretaps, and other forms of government action against the media in this country and the media in this country apparently is sadistic. As long as their guy is doing it, well then, do it. So the media in this country no longer stands for free anything. Free speech, free press, any of it. It is the Praetorian guard media -- as I've been saying for years -- protecting this president, protecting his ideology because the people in the media, for the most part, are of the same ilk.
No respect for the rule of law. No respect for the constitution. Now they'll use those things to attack Republican presidents, but they don't give a damn about it when it comes to a radical leftist like Obama. And so it is necessary to remind ourselves who we are, what our power is, what our heritage is as we fight what is increasingly the battle that the Framers fought against tyranny.

QOTD: "When the First Amendment was written there was no radio and TV, obviously. So it was newspapers, pamphlets, it was the printed word. There’s literally no federal regulation of newspapers. And the only reason there is in broadcasting is because of this notion that the airwaves are public and the government issues licenses to broadcasters granting them permission to use those airwaves. But still, in the news division of those broadcast outlets, the First Amendment applies. But it doesn’t apply to cable because cable’s not over the air. The FCC has no authority over what’s on cable, even though they try to assert it, but it’s not over the air. So there is no public interest there.
Same thing with newspapers. Newspapers are totally off-limits, and yet the commissioner the FCC says they are “now expanding the bounds of regulatory powers to include newspapers, which it has absolutely no authority over, in its new government monitoring program. The FCC has apparently already selected eight categories of ‘critical information’ that ‘it believes local newscasters should cover.’
That’s right, the [Regime] has developed a formula of what it believes the free press should cover, and it is going to send government monitors into newsrooms across America to stand over the shoulders of the press as they make editorial decisions. … Every major repressive regime of the modern era has begun with an attempt to control and intimidate the press." --Rush Limbaugh
