Leftist Group Sending Out Voter Registration Forms To Dogs And Dead People

By William Teach July 14, 2012 – 11:30 am

As Sweetness and Light points out, the AP seems a bit bemused by this

The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle address.

Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.

A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults.

But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people already registered to vote.

Yeah, no reason for mandating voter ID, eh? The article mentions the same happening in Florida, Virginia, and New Mexico, among others.

Sweetness and Light goes on to highlight that the Voter Participation Center is not a “non-partisan” group as the AP describes them near the end of the article, but a hardcore far left Democrat group associated with many other hard core far left Democrat groups, and is unshockingly against any voter ID requirements. The also push a great use of absentee ballots.

Romney Demands Apology From Obama For Feckless Bain Attacks

By William Teach July 14, 2012 – 9:04 am

He won’t get it, obviously. Team Obama has nothing else to run on

(NY Times) Mitt Romney demanded an apology from President Obama on Friday for making what he called “reckless” and “absurd” allegations in an escalating battle over whether Mr. Romney’s business record included outsourcing American jobs.

After days in which the Obama campaign persistently goaded Mr. Romney and even raised questions about whether he might have broken the law by lying on a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Mr. Romney finally hit back hard, giving five television interviews in which he said the attacks on him were “beneath the dignity of the presidency.”

“What kind of a president would have a campaign that says something like that about the nominee of another party?” Mr. Romney said to CBS News. In an interview with ABC News, he added: “He sure as heck ought to say that he’s sorry for the kinds of attacks that are coming from his team.”

Team Obama is continuing to double down on the attacks, saying Mitt has to answer every one of their questions about Bain, which is interesting since Obama refuses to get into details about his time in Jeremiah Wright’s church, his time in college, his work as a community organizer, working with ACORN, etc and so on. And, if Team Obama wants to talk about a felony, well, they should refer to Obama saying that he used cocaine, which is…..a felony!

But, again, what else can Obama campaign on? Raising taxes? The very unpopular Obamacare? His failed Stimulus? 8.2% unemployment, with a real rate around 14%? A historic number of people abandoning the jobs market in despair? Real savings at historic lows? Adding $5,000,000,000,000 to the debt and counting? Huge deficits? Annoying our allies? Rising food and energy prices? Rising medical and health insurance prices? Low GDP and consumer confidence? What can he campaign on?

He doesn’t even have much red meat for his base. He failed to close Gitmo. He’s launching drone strikes, which his base terms “assassinations.” He launched a war of choice in Libya. He expanded Afghanistan. He has military operations in lots of countries.

Obama Calls Mandate A Tax

By William Teach July 14, 2012 – 8:49 am

Remember this?

Mr. Obama’s teleprompter failed him again

President Obama used the word “tax” to describe the health care mandate under his reforms, a departure from his prior etymological stance that it is a penalty.

“By the way, if you’ve got health insurance, you’re not getting hit by a tax,” the president said during his Friday rally in Roanoke, his third Virginia campaign event of the day. “The only thing that’s happening to you is that you now have more security because insurance companies can’t drop you when you get sick.”

Obama has spoken. The Mandate is now officially a tax. To quote Obama “”Don’t tell me words don’t matter.”

Oops: Green Energy Loans Not Designed To Create Jobs

By William Teach July 13, 2012 – 5:18 pm

Someone really confused their talking points

(Washington Examiner) David Frantz, who runs the Energy Department’s loan guarantee program, contradicted President Obama today by telling Congress that the program is not designed to create jobs.

“The predominance of our portfolio — and the objective, really, of the act — is to be creating large infrastructure, utility-scale projects; and, by definition, they are not a multiplier for job creation,” Frantz told a Joint Hearing on the No More Solyndras Act that would ban the loan guarantee program.

How many times have we heard that “green energy” was going to create a gazzillion jobs? Doug Powers points to a few of the hundreds.

Mostly Peaceful Occupy LA Injures 2 Police Officers In Chalk Melee

By William Teach July 13, 2012 – 7:42 am

I was going to start with this ABC News article about the mini-riot by Occupy LA, alas, in the middle of writing about the police being called out for some nebulous pain in the ass “protest” by an unknown group, the article updated. Sigh. Anyhow

(LA Times) A confrontation in downtown Los Angeles late Thursday between police and Occupy L.A. protesters appeared to have stemmed from a sidewalk chalk-drawing demonstration, witnesses said.

At least two officers were injured and several arrests had been made.

A woman who identified herself as part of Occupy L.A. said protesters attended the monthly L.A. ArtWalk on Thursday night with the intention of showing support for people previously arrested for chalking on the sidewalk. A Facebook event advertised the planned demonstration.

They just wanted to use chalk for freedom of speech. Maybe they shouldn’t have done it in the middle of the street

Police arrived at the intersection shortly before 10 p.m. to move protesters blocking the street. At one point, an unidentified man tossed a glass bottle over his shoulder that landed in front of a line of LAPD officers gathered on Spring Street between 4th and 5th streets. The man was shot with what appeared to be a non-lethal weapon, witnesses said.

Police used batons and non-lethal projectiles to disperse the crowd, which in turn threw bottles and cans at officers and chanted, “Whose streets? Our streets!”

Not throwing stuff at the police would also have been a good idea, too.

Basically, the Occutards decided they were going to ruin ArtWalk for everyone else.

Obama: “Hey, If Only I Was A Better Story Teller…”

By William Teach July 13, 2012 – 7:26 am

Good grief (via Allahpundit)

(CBS News) President Obama’s biggest mistake during his first term, he told CBS News in an exclusive interview, has been putting policy over storytelling.

“When I think about what we’ve done well and what we haven’t done well,” the president said, “the mistake of my first term – couple of years – was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that’s important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.”

Slublog provides the unemployment rate with and without better stories.

This is the guy who spends most of his time when not fundraising, partying, and playing golf telling stories and telling others to carry out his policy. Refer back to the GIF.

Heh: “Harry Reid” Now Slang For A Boring Sexual Position

By William Teach July 12, 2012 – 4:50 pm

For those who aren’t aware, Harry Reid is a Democrat Senator from Nevada who is the majority leader in the US Senate. To further delve into the term “majority leader”, that means that the Democrats control the US Senate, and have since January 2007, with Harry Reid (D-Nevada) as their leader. Which means that the Republican party is the minority party. Anyhow, The Daily Caller’s Taylor Bigler brings the funny

Ladies and gentlemen, do your significant others a favor and try not to pull a “Harry Reid” when you get home at night.

Thanks to Urban Dictionary — a site where users submit definitions for slang terms — the Senate majority leader’s name now means a boring sexual position, the Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported.

“Harry Reid” is defined as: “A sexual position where you climb on top and then do absolutely nothing.”

The site helpfully uses the term in a sentence, “I spent so long trying to talk her into bed that when I finally got on, I pulled a ‘Harry Reid’ and fell asleep.”

The definition continues to say that the term is “[n]amed for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Under his lack of leadership, the Senate failed to pass a budget in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. He also blocked votes on numerous jobs bills passed by the House of Representatives.”

Taylor also mentions the term “Reiding”

Using the Congress of the United States to silence free speach of private citizens. (WT: misspelling of “speech” not mine)

Checking the Urban Dictionary, Pelosi is not treated much better

A term to use instead of Bull Sh**, or “BS”.
Used if something is ridiculous, idiotic, a half-truth, or just
stupid. It covers any number or negative formats. The dictionary defines it as: nonsense; especially foolish insolent talk.

That’s some of the nicer ones. Henceforth, instead of writing  “mule fritters”, I’ll just write “Pelosi!”
