  • Olberman “suspended”

    ROS and Old Trooper both sent links to us about NBC suspending Olbermann indefinitely here and here. I think NBC has been looking for a reason to fire him for a while and he broke their rules right on time.

    NBC claims Olbie contributed to three Democrat candidates during the elections this Fall. Someone who had a grudge (no, that can’t be true) probably blew the whistle on him because I’m sure someone didn’t spend the whole Fall looking through public records.

    I don’t like Olbermann at all…not even a little bit. The only time I’ve ever watched him is on YouTube in case someone is watching my viewing habits and mistakes me for a fan. I do appreciate him outing Tony Camerino/Matthew Alexander, though.

    But I think it’s shitty for NBC to have a clause in his contract that forbids campaign contributions to political candidates. Like I told Old Trooper, it’s like they make employees hang their dicks on the wall before they go into the whorehouse. It’s not like Olbermann contributes to Democrats every time he opens his stupid yap. It’s almost rises to the level of the Juan Williams firing…except that he signed the contract. NBC probably did it to get ahead of the news cycle.

    I’m glad he’s gone, I just don’t like the way he was “suspended”.

  • Bag of ballots “found” in CT

    Democrats in Bridgeport, CT approached Republican officials with a bag full of ballots they “found” somewhere.

    “It adds to the inconsistencies from the Democratic Party in Bridgeport. It just keeps adding to it,” said [Bridgeport GOP Chairman Marc] Delmonico. “There’s nothing odd about it; there’s certainly nothing missing about it,” said Ed Maley, a representative for the Democratic Party.

    Apparently, the counting of the recently discovered ballots began last night.

  • There is no leadership in Congress

    I was reading the Huffington Post this afternoon and stumbled over a post by Norman Lear – you know the guy who created Archie Bunker or something. Well, it seems for all of his success, Lear still hasn’t figured out our political system. His main complaint is that he heard something he didn’t like yesterday morning;

    Wednesday morning the Republican Party held a press conference. John Boehner, Haley Barbour and Mitch McConnell held forth, and if they mentioned “The American People” once, they mentioned them sixteen thousand two hundred and forty four times! They shoved “The American People,” almost literally, into every other sentence. All they did to win in this election was listen to “The American People.” “The American People” affirmed their Republican positions because the Republicans understood “The American People;” and “The American People” understood that they understood “The American People.” And on and on and on and on.

    Then Lear goes on for few more paragraphs about how smart and informed he is – all of his reading that led him to the polling place on Tuesday and how woefully uninformed are “The American People” – because we don’t take the initiative to inform ourselves about issues like he does. Mostly, says Lear, it’s because we’re all unemployed and homeless. he sums up with this;

    With our votes we “send you to the hill.” That’s what we did yesterday. On the hill we sent you to it is you who have the 360 degree view. We, the American people, do not. We call you our leaders and put you in a position to be just that. Why, then, do you seem to wish to follow our lead? We ache to be led, not polled. We are the American people as you repeated this morning again and again. Remember as well, YOU are the Congress. Lead, gentlemen. And you Democrats, too.

    Yeah, what Lear doesn’t understand is that Congress isn’t there to lead, they sit in The People’s House and do the bidding of their constituency – that’s why they face re-election every two years, to account for themselves. The Constitution begins “We the People of the United States…do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States” It doesn’t say say “We the Congress” for a reason. It’s our country and Congress serves at our pleasure.

    And that’s what happened Tuesday. Congress decided two years ago that they know better than The American People in regards to health care and the economy. They decided to lead and they faced the consequences. The Congress is supposed to REPRESENT the people and when they don’t..buh-bye. REPRESENT – it’s right there in the name of one of the Houses of Congress. The President is supposed to lead the country, not take polls and represent the people – he executes the laws that the people write through their representatives.

    Maybe Mister Lear should spend less time spouting off on Huffington Post about how smart he is and use that time to take a civics class.

  • Red W. Virginia

    There’s another member of this little group who shall remain nameless for the moment who is constantly ribbing me about the fact that I live in eastern West Virginia “which is almost Maryland”. Yeah, well, here’s how my “almost Maryland” Mineral County voted in the Manchin-Raese contest yesterday;

    Mineral County is the little sliver that runs along the Potomac across from Maryland that’s a bit redder than the rest of the red counties around it. The member of this blog who is always ribbing me lives in that tiny patch of blue in the southern part of WV – look closely, cuz you probably can’t see the blue;

    Oh, my mistake…WV is almost all blue isn’t it? And since Maryland went all blue, too, who is “closer to Maryland” now? Huh? Huh?

    That’s probably why I mispredicted the race – all of my neighbors get to look over into the People’s Republic of Maryland and don’t want that kind of government (like the West Germans who saw East Germany from their bedrooms windows).

    Anyway, we got rid of Manchin and his brand of cap and trade – he’s y’all’s problem now.

  • Another Black Panther spotted at polling place in Philly

    Fox5 in Philly spotted another Black Panther outside the polling place made famous last election for the Justice Department’s aborted voter intimidation case;

    We then asked him if he was at the polls representing the New Black Panther Party and if his panther label button was a symbol of the party. We received no answer.

    A check with Philadelphia election officials revealed no voter intimidation reports at the polling location related to the man.

    But we were able to obtain one of the sample ballots the man was handing out to voters. It was a sample Democratic ticket with Joe Sestak, Dan Onorato, Bob Brady and Curtin Thomas on the ballot.

    But CNN was making a big deal over a woman in Kansas (an admitted Democrat) who got a call telling her that she was scheduled to vote tomorrow.

  • Code Pink to protest Jon Stewart tomorrow

    I guess Stewart’s “Restore Sanity” rally tomorrow got under Medea’s skin. The Code Pink hags are planning to protest there;

    It’s good that the Left is being protested by the Left. So which group do you want to be identified with? The folks who get their news from the Comedy Channel or the crowd who is still living in the 60s and gets their news from the al Jazeera?

  • Voting in Chicago this year

    Well, not just Chicago, but the whole state of Illinois has a different climate than most of the country during the election season. For example, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, was reportedly campaigning for her husband’s party while she stopped by to vote last week. According to the Chicago Board of Elections, no one has filed a complaint so they won’t be investigating.

    The Green Party candidate for governor, the one most likely to draw votes away from the Democrat candidate, Pat Quinn, had his name spelled wrong on the ballot. Instead of Rich Whitney, the ballot names him as “Rich Whitey”, a sure turn-off for some voters. The misspelling is blamed on some unnamed employee at Dominion Voting Systems.

    Absentee voting in Illinois got harder this year when 35 counties decided they’d ignore the MOVE Act and sent their ballots late. This essentially disenfranchised most of the military voters in Illinois. But, not to worry, Investors Business Daily reports that not all absentees will miss out on their voting experience;

    Meanwhile, the Chicago Board of Elections hand-delivers ballots to inmates in Cook County Jail. The board doesn’t even wait for the inmates to apply — it brings the applications with the ballots! More than 2,600 inmates have cast ballots — strikingly similar to the 2,600 soldiers who will likely not receive a ballot for Tuesday’s election.

    Yes, Chicago is more concerned about the votes of criminals than they seem to be about the votes of the folks who keep us all safe enough to vote.
