Death in Wisconsin Last Night
Did you hear, democracy died in Wisconsin last night. What a shame. Hopefully, it was a peaceful passing. God Bless.
What a shame. When is the funeral?

Mika Brzezinski - Blinded By the Light
Hey Mika, are those the same exit polls that projected a "too close to call" election last night? Same ones? Just checking. Same ones that reported 119% voter turnout in Milwaukee? Yes those. Blind faith can be a beautiful thing.
It's a little unfair to Mika to presume her Obama bias is a voluntary action, because it is quite obvious that she has a case of the vapors when it comes to everything Obama. She can't help herself. The vapors do that.
Some might even say she was Blinded by the Light!
Sing it Manfred
Here is another take on the media reading what they want to into flawed exit polls.

Black Ministers Blast Elizabeth Warren's Apparent Abuse of Affirmative Action
 |
| Is that MawMaw in the seal? |
When a liberal democrat in Massachusetts looses the support of black ministers there is a problem. A big one. Big as in "Houston, we have a problem." big.
Elizabeth Warren has that problem. But, is that her biggest problem? Maybe not. Let's say she wins the election and is sworn in as a United States Senator. A year later, some young aggressive federal prosecutor decides to make an effort to slow down the abuse of affirmative action scams and prosecute those making false claims to gain unlawful advantage. After all, for every incident there is a victim who did not gain the advantages intended by affirmative action policies and laws.
Those crimes generally occur when a perpetrator finds an organization that is willing to bend a few rules or turn a blind eye. Wink, wink, nod, nod. And, by bending those rules, those organizations gain additional funding, or rankings, or compliance levels as well. These entities make EEOC filings for this very reason. And, I am sure there are consequences to filing false information.
And generally, prosecutors don't go looking for these problems within liberal bastions like Ivy League Law Schools. But if they did, could she get caught up in it? There sure has been enough publicity about it to make it hard to ignore. Maybe a quick peek behind the Ivy is warranted.
The Globe reports:
“It is within bounds to raise the question of whether or not a white woman used the minority card for her professional advantage,” said [Rev. Eugene F.] Rivers.“Ancestry is not the issue,” Rivers added, saying that Warren’s handling of the controversy raises questions beyond her heritage. “Did you tell the truth? Because you marketed yourself as the good-guy, straight-shooting-populist, representing-poor-people candidate.”
“Affirmative action — that issue becomes important because it points to who you are,” added the Rev. Jeffrey Brown, executive director of the TenPoint Coalition, who pointed to an assertion that she is 1/32 Cherokee. “I’m thinking to myself, if I was 1/32 white, or of European descent, would I be able to put on an application that I was white? And if you look at a picture of me, you see what I’m talking about. The question is not a trivial one, or one that can just be dismissed as a Republican tactic. And I say this as someone who campaigned for Martha Coakley and I’m independent in terms of my political status.”
The controversy also gains steam because it involves Harvard — an elite institution that represents the intellectual capital of the country and, to conservatives, the center of liberal idealism.
“Harvard as an institution, as part of Massachusetts’ self-image, is colossal,” said [Republican analyst Todd] Domke. “Whether people want to joke about it, criticize it, or exalt it, it’s still bigger than this Senate race in terms of the whole reputation of the state. It won’t go away because of that — because people feel there’s something a little scandalous about Harvard claiming diversity with a woman who is, according to her family lore, 31/32 Caucasian.”
Possibly the worst thing that could happen to Elizabeth Warren would be winning the election.
Talk About A Fund Raising Opportunity

Thank God
So apparently the Attorney General of the United States, is screaming at the President's political hack for trying to insert political types into the operations of the Department of Justice. Damn, everyone knows it's Holder's job to play politics at the Department of Injustice. After all, he has so many red states to sue before he sleeps. I guess he was mad.
But why was the Attorney General meeting with the President's political people anyway? Isn't the job of the Attorney General to protect all the people, not just the democrat Americans? It used to be.
Now, if there is video of this and I bet there is, this could be the greatest fund raising device "evah"! Can you imagine how many people would pay good money to see this cat fight in the White House.
This president has some great people around him for making a sitcom or soap opera.
Eric Holder needs to resign. He is in way over his head.

Warts and All
English: John F. Kennedy, photograph in the Oval Office. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Poll: Brown-Warren race a toss-up - POLITICO.com: From the Globe report:
Massachusetts is a political climate like no other. They are loyal to their liberals to a fault.
Elizabeth Warren is a flawed candidate. She has been exposed as less than truthful on many occasions when it has benefited her career path. Yet, the liberal base of Massachusetts won't give up on her no matter what is exposed during her vetting by the non-mainstream media. The mainstream media only vets Republican candidates. Especially ones from Massachusetts.
Just look at this quote below taken from the Boston Globe story linked above:
But there are signs that the controversy has wounded the first-time candidate, whose entrance into the race came with a star power that galvanized Democrats and catapulted the contest into one of the most closely watched in the nation.
The vast majority of voters (72 percent) said the issue would not affect their vote, but 31 percent of self-described independents — a critical voting bloc — said the issue makes them less likely to support Warren in November. The Harvard professor’s popularity has also risen one percentage point, to 48 percent, since the Globe polled in March, but the percentage of detractors has climbed more precipitously, by nine points to 32 percent.
What does it take in Massachusetts for the democrats to abandon a liberal? Apparently quite a bit. Voters always knew of and happily accepted, the many foibles of the Kennedy clan. No matter the seriousness of their many transgressions, voter loyalty seemed to increase from the adoring lemmings of the Commonwealth. After all, Camelot must go on.
But, history is grudgingly becoming less kind to the legacy of the Kennedy clan, or should I say tribe (Sorry. Couldn't resist. Get it Princess Pants on Fire fans?). Ten years ago you never heard open discussions about patriarch Joe Kennedy's rum running beginnings. And certainly they were not admitted as fact as they are today. As the scandalous rumors of the Camelot years become today's facts about the less than moral lives led by John F. Kennedy and his sidekick Teddy, the lack of journalistic integrity that kept the castle's secrets for a generation is also being exposed. In the Commonwealth, it takes time to face facts about their politicians.
Will Massachusetts really elect another flawed liberal Democrat United States Senator over an incumbent moderate to liberal Republican? We will find out in November. But, I am guessing they will. They always do in. Warts and all.
History is not as forgiving as the voters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Just Let Me In The Damn Door

What is going on in Massachusetts? Remember the signal, one if by merit and two if by claiming to be something you cannot prove.
And there they go suppressing the damn vote again. Call the DOJ! Eric, where are you when we need you man.
Yep, those rascally

There are bigger concerns than saving the damn icebergs. There seems to be a trend in this administration because it appears that there are no boundaries on the authority of anyone in this administration. Maybe next week the Director of the EPA will be in Egypt studying sand dunes.
Admit it, this is a vacation.

NYC plans to ban sales of sugary drinks over 16 ounces | Fox News
Surely Mayor Bloomberg is going to move to shut down every pizzeria and steak house in New York City. Who cares about jobs, personal freedom, security and little issues like that when the Big Gulp is still being sold in the Big Apple. Priorities people.
Is this what the Mayor of New York City should be spending his time on? Must be the easiest job in the world.
Really?

Slow Down People. It's Hard Keeping Up!
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Thank goodness Joe Biden was put out to pasture this week because between Princess Pants on Fire and President Obama it is difficult keeping up with the fodder they keep spewing out. Between Obama slipping in the little secret about his sons and his insulting the people of Poland and still finding the time to confuse the NCAA with the NAACP during a ceremony at the White House. That was the same event at the White House where President Obama presented the Medal of Freedom to an avowed socialist. Things are hopping.
And who would have guessed that they keep the vital statistic of the number of nursing mothers that take the bar exam in New Jersey. Have to admit a weird curiosity about how they gather this data. Had I been familiar with this interesting data category, my first guess would have been that Elizabeth Warren was right up near the front of the line. What a talented Indian princess.
This poor lady needs a break. But it doesn't look like one is coming very soon. Both the Breitbart people and the Boston Herald smell blood. They are having so much fun that the Boston Globe is even testing the waters. And recently a large association of Native Americans have banded together and are beginning to exert some real pressure on behalf of the Cherokee Nation.
Give Ms Warren credit, she is staying on message without offering any proof. It takes a certain amount of moxie to pull this off on a daily basis. The problem with this tactic is that nobody, not even her allies, believe her any longer.
