Chairman Obama Releasing Taliban Fighters For Promise To Be Good

By William Teach May 7, 2012 – 9:36 am

All that’s missing is PBO’s “peace in our time” speech. The man is desperate to get some sort of political win in Afghanistan. Either that or he simply doesn’t understand, or care, that the Taliban is a hard core Islamist group bent on killing the infidel.

(Washington Post) The United States has for several years been secretly releasing high-level detainees from a military prison in Afghanistan as part of negotiations with insurgent groups, a bold effort to quell violence but one that U.S. officials acknowledge poses substantial risks.

No, the Obama admin has been releasing these people who are pretty anti-women.

But the releases are an inherent gamble: The freed detainees are often notorious fighters who would not be released under the traditional legal system for military prisoners in Afghanistan. They must promise to give up violence —and U.S. officials warn them that if they are caught attacking American troops, they will be detained once again.

That reminds me of an old Robin Williams joke about British police carrying no guns, just nightsticks “Stop! Or I’ll yell stop again.” Buy, I’m sure the little Taliban darlings will simply give up there life of violence in the name of Allah and Mohammed and play with pretty unicorns they were given on release.

Jon Lilyea opines: “You’d think that the US would hold off on releasing our own prisoners until the Taliban releases Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl or Warren Weinstein, don’t you think? So since we’re just engaged in a catch and release program, the troops should stop catching them.”

Good Grief: Now Warmist Blame The Demise Of The Dinosaurs On “Climate Change”

By William Teach May 7, 2012 – 7:36 am

Is there a little something to this “theory”? Well, a little, as methane is certainly a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. And the notion that the dinosaurs were killed off by an asteroid has come under some question, some wacky, some legitimate. Most tend to focus on the asteroid as the leading cause. But, leave it up to the insane Warmists to trot this out

(UK Daily Mail) Dinosaurs may be partly to blame for a change in climate because they created so much flatulence, according to leading scientists.

Professor Graeme Ruxton of St Andrews University, Scotland, said the giant animals spent 150 years emitting the potent global warming gas, methane.

Large plant-eating sauropods would have been the main culprits because of the huge amounts of greenery they consumed.

The team calculated the animals would have collectively produced more than 520m tons of methane a year – more than all today’s modern sources put together.

It is thought these huge amounts could easily have been enough to warm the planet.

It is even possible that the climate change was so catastrophic that it caused the dinosaurs eventual demise.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the very fact that they use the phrase “climate change” rather than “global warming” immediately negates any sort of scientific notion. Greenhouse gases cause it to get….warm. Not cold.

On the bright side, at least they aren’t pushing the “everyone (else) should go meatless” meme. Yet.

Attorney For 9/11 Defendants Promises Long, Hard Fight

By William Teach May 7, 2012 – 7:34 am

Gee wiz, if only the Obama administration had simply accepted that KSM and the other defendants wanted to plead guilty, instead of playing games, like withdrawing all charges “without prejudice” in order to attempt to prosecute them in civilian court. Furthermore, can you imagine how much of a circus it would be if the trial was a civilian one, rather than a military tribunal?

(Washington Post) The behavior during their arraignment Saturday of the five defendants charged with orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was a form of “peaceful resistance to an unjust system,” according to one of their attorneys who spoke at a news conference Sunday.

“The accused refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the military commissions,” said James Connell, an attorney for Ali Abdul Aziz Ali. The “arraignment demonstrates that this will be a long, hard-fought but peaceful struggle against secrecy, torture and the misguided institution of the military commission.”

Connell sure has the language of the political left down to a tee, eh?

One of the defense attorneys, Cheryl Bormann, appeared at the arraignment in a full-length black abaya that showed only her face. Bormann, who is from Chicago, refused to comment on reports that she had received death threats in the wake of the arraignment and said she wore the abaya in deference to the cultural and religious sensitivities of her client, Walid bin Attash.

Bormann also asked in court that a female member of the prosecution team dress more modestly, saying her clothing was a distraction for the defendants and might cause them to “commit a sin” by looking at her. Three women on the prosecution side wore knee-length skirts.

A bit of dhimmitude by yet another hardcore leftist.

The proceedings will now enter a long period of trial litigation, with the first motions scheduled to be argued at Guantanamo next month. The trial itself is at least a year away. The judge said he would set a tentative trial date at the next hearing and seemed inclined to pencil in May 2013 for the selection of a jury of military officers and opening arguments.

If Team Obama had allowed them to simply plead guilty, this would have been over by now. Instead, they attempted to create a spectacle for political purposes by pushing for a trial down the road from Ground Zero, which blew up in their faces.

Obameconomy: College Graduates Flock To Unpaid Internships

By William Teach May 6, 2012 – 2:30 pm

Shockingly, this somehow ended up being published by the NY Times in a momentary glimpse of reality

Confronting the worst job market in decades, many college graduates who expected to land paid jobs are turning to unpaid internships to try to get a foot in an employer’s door.

As Liberals liked to say while Bush was president “who’s president now??????”

Melissa Reyes, who graduated from Marist College with a degree in fashion merchandising last May, applied for a dozen jobs to no avail. She was thrilled, however, to land an internship with the Diane von Furstenberg fashion house in Manhattan. “They talked about what an excellent, educational internship program this would be,” she said.

Well, there’s your problem: a degree in “fashion merchandising.” The mythical basket weaving degree would be more useful. At least it is a useable skill. This goes back to what Rick Santorum was saying in that not everyone needs a college degree. You have kids like Ms. Reyes spending years creating enormous debt in order to get a barely useable degree, when they could have been learning an actual skill.

Most of the rest of the story is about how unpaid interns are treated like slave labor, but, hey, there aren’t really any jobs out there for even Ivy League school graduates.

Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list.

If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.

The posts do take a long time, so, if you want to send me your links for Rule 5 babeage or links, use ye olde email in the header bar (remove the NOSPAM part). Preferably, create the html link so I can copy and paste how you want it to read.

The Life Of Peter, Julia’s Sperm Donor

By William Teach May 6, 2012 – 8:05 am

We already know what happens to Julia, but, what of the guy who provided the sperm to conceive Zachary? Let’s see how Peter’s life goes

Age 22: Peter’s in his senior year, working towards his Sociology degree. He supplements his meager income from student loans and a part time job down at the local Subway by selling his sperm to a local sperm bank, and signs documents which state that all “donations” will be kept completely anonymous.

Age 23: having successfully graduated from college with a mountain of debt, Peter realizes that there are no jobs out there other than minimum wage, and even those are hard to come by. Graduate school is expensive, he feels that the military is simply a bunch of warmongers, so he decides to join Obama’s Americorps. He thought about joining the Peace Corps, but, doesn’t want to get sent to some 3rd world shithole, er, developing nation.

Age 24: Peter is sent by Americorps to a 3rd world shithole, er, the back streets of a major northern US city. He lives in a meager rat infested apartment with 4 others. While working to teach “organizational skills“, Peter is mugged, beaten, and even stabbed in the leg. Thanks to lax liberal law law enforcement policies, no ambulance company will respond in that neighborhood. Because Stimulus money went to Obama’s political donors, the roads are a mess, so it takes a while to get to the ER. Peter finally gets to an open ER at the 3rd hospital his friends take him to as the first two were shut down due to being overburdened by illegal aliens, but has to wait 4 hours to see a doctor and is left with a slight permanent limp. Several of his attackers are arrested and given counseling by a judge appointed in 2009.

Age 26: After years of working for Americorps while looking for a job, Peter finally gets a position with a small non-profit funded by the UN via the US government. He’s sent to a 3rd world shithole. The money’s not great, but, he’s Making A Difference. He’s kidnapped by Islamic extremists linked to al Qaeda, which he was told had been defeated, but, fortunately, those evil warmongering military folks rescue him.

Age 27: Peter moves up the ladder, and is finally able to make money by skimming money from government grants. He receives a letter in the mail from Julia’s lawyer slapping him with a paternity suit.

Age 28: Peter attempts to fight the suit, but, a liberal judge throws out the legal non-disclosure forms, saying Peter has to Do His Part. Peter’s still in debt from college, and also has some sort of strange disease from his time in the 3rd world shithole. Very few doctors accept his insurance and government centers have months long waits. He starts filing phony reports to the government in order to get more money.

Age 30: Peter still hasn’t even seen Zachary yet, but, Julia has sued for even more child support. Peter gets a job working for a bigger non-profit. He’s able to skim even more money from the government grants.

Age 33: Peter is going to get married to a lady he met at an Occupy encampment while providing comfort in a “rape free” zone. He’s visited by the FBI for falsifying government forms and embezzling from his company. He wonders why there’s a problem with redistributing money to himself. The FBI arrests him for fraud and embezzlement, and the IRS charges him with tax evasion on the money he stole.

Age 35: after sitting in jail for 2 years, Peter is finally sentenced to 25 years in jail. Peter’s boss is a major donor to the Democrat Party with a lot of sway.

Age 36: Peter is raped repeatedly in jail. When he complains, he is counseled to not be so bigoted and intolerant of illegal aliens.

Age 50: Peter is up for parole. He meets his “son” Zachary for the first time, as Zach testifies as his hearing. Zach says Peter ruined his life.

Age 60: After being paroled, Peter lives in flophouse. Medicare long ago degenerated into insolvency. Cats are afraid to come anywhere near his neighborhood. Food stores won’t take food stamps as they are never reimbursed.

Age 65: The Chinese government owned company that owns most of the US decides that Peter has outlived his usefulness and, following the dictates of the Independent Payment Advisory Board set up by Obamacare, denies Peter the heart surgery he needs for the issues caused by age and the disease he acquired in the 3rd world shithole. Peter can’t even afford to pay for medicine, as he is still providing child support to Zachary. Social Security wouldn’t be available till age 72, if it even existed anymore.

Age 66: RIP. Zachary is provided with a bill from the US government for burial services for Peter. Zachary wonders just what in the hell his 75% tax rate is paying for.

Bill Clinton Comes Out Against Amendment 1

By William Teach May 5, 2012 – 5:48 pm

Remember when ex-presidents faded away after their term of office? Remember when people who cheated on their spouse multiple times wouldn’t opine about marriage?

(Washington Post) Former President Bill Clinton has recorded an audio advertisement opposing North Carolina’s proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

I voted for Billy Jeff in 1996, but, until he becomes a North Carolina resident I couldn’t give two shits what his opinion on the subject is.
