Sweep that Powder Under the Rug...please?

Are you a fan of the War on Drugs? Sure, who isn’t? And over the years, there’s been no bigger drug warrior than Vice President Joe Biden. As a senator, he championed laws against shipping drug paraphernalia though the mail, going to raves, and using marijuana for medical reasons. He helped create the Office of National Drug Control Policy. He even coined the term “drug czar.” So if you or someone you know has been affected by America’s draconian approach to drug enforcement, or if you just get a kick out of your tax money being thrown at one failed drug-prevention effort after another, you can thank your old buddy Joe.

Which makes it particularly interesting that his daughter Ashley might have been caught on video snorting cocaine.

YouTube Bans James Randi

YouTube has suspended the account of the James Randi Foundation, one of the foremost rationalist organizations in the United States?

This is an outrage. YouTube — where you can easily find disgusting, violent jihadi videos, and vile antisemitic garbage like this — is now protecting the delicate feelings of creationists and phony psychics. Shame on YouTube. Shame.




The Growing Cult of Obama

Obama "walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere," George Clooney gushed to Charlie Rose.
"I’ll collect paper cups off the ground to make [Obama’s] pathway clear,” Halle Berry recently told the Philadelphia Daily News, “I’ll do whatever he says.” (Does Michelle know about this?)
Hollywood stars aren’t known for their political wisdom. More disturbing is how starstruck the mainstream media has become. Hardball host Chris Matthews isn’t the only one who gets a “thrill” up his leg at the very thought of our new president.
Last summer, San Francisco Chronicle columnist Mark Morford wrote that "Many spiritually advanced people I know … identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who … can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet."

Comedy Central, hosted in The Netherlands?

I find it a little odd that the US network, Comedy Central, has there website hosted in the Netherlands.
Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just find it oddly disconcerting.

Victory In Iraq Day!

Via Zombietime:

Victory in Iraq Day
November 22, 2008

We won. The Iraq War is over.

I declare November 22, 2008 to be "Victory in Iraq Day." (Hereafter known as "VI Day.")



By every measure, The United States and coalition forces have conclusively defeated all enemies in Iraq, pacified the country, deposed the previous regime, successfully helped to establish a new functioning democratic government, and suppressed any lingering insurgencies. The war has come to an end. And we won.

What more indication do you need? An announcement from the outgoing Bush administration? It's not gonna happen. An announcement from the incoming Obama administration? That's really not gonna happen. A declaration of victory by the media? Please. Don't make me laugh. A concession of surrender by what few remaining insurgents remain in hiding? Forget about it.

The moment has come to acknowledge the obvious. To overtly declare a fact that has already been true for quite some time now. Let me repeat:

WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ
And since there will never be a ticker-tape parade down Fifth Avenue in New York for our troops, it's up to us, the people, to arrange a virtual ticker-tape parade. An online victory celebration.

Saturday, November 22, 2008 is the day of that celebration: Victory in Iraq Day.



What do you need to do to participate? Simple. Just make a post on your blog on Saturday, November 22, announcing that the war is over, and declaring that day to be Victory in Iraq Day. That's it.

If you want to write a short post (or a long essay) analyzing the nature of our victory or cheering the troops for a job well done, great; but if you just want to make a simple announcement of the victory, that's fine as well. Anything will do. Just come and join the celebration to mark the day.

Keep reading below to find: evidence that the war is over (for the doubters); an historical discussion of previous postwar occupations and guerrilla violence; a list of blogs which have already joined the VI Day movement; free banners and graphics for you to download and put on your blog, if you so choose; and an invitation to submit your own "victory graphics" for posting here.

Observations and statistics agree: The fighting has ceased, the war is over

I have felt for many months that we had already won the war, but I was spurred to action by this report from Michael Yon:
"THE WAR IS OVER AND WE WON:" Michael Yon just phoned from Baghdad, and reports that things are much better than he had expected, and he had expected things to be good. "There's nothing going on. I'm with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I'm with haven't fired their weapons on this tour and they've been here eight months. And the place we're at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq. And now there's nothing going on. I've been walking my feet off and haven't seen anything."

Congrats Mr. Obama - U.S. Stocks Tumble in Market's Worst Two-Day Slump Since 1987

By Lynn Thomasson

Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks slid, sending the market
to its biggest two-day slump since 1987, after jobless claims
jumped and the shrinking economy crushed earnings at companies
from Blackstone Group Inc. to News Corp.


Blackstone, the largest private-equity firm, fell 12 percent
after posting the biggest quarterly loss in its 18 months as a
public company. News Corp. sank 16 percent after the media
company controlled by Rupert Murdoch said ad sales decreased.
Chevron Corp. fell 6.4 percent as oil tumbled to a 19-month low,
while an unexpected decrease in chain-store sales dragged down 25
of 27 shares in the S&P 500 Retailing Index.


``We're a long way from the end of the economic
challenges,'' said Mike Morcos, who helps manage $1 billion at
Old Second Wealth Management in Aurora, Illinois. ``Earnings next
year are going to be significantly lower and estimates are going
to continue to come down.''


The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 5 percent to 904.88,
extending its two-day loss to 10 percent. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average retreated 443.48 points, or 4.9 percent, to
8,695.79. The Russell 2000 Index of small U.S. companies declined
3.7 percent to 495.84. The MSCI World Index of 23 developed
markets lost 5.9 percent to 925.09.


The two-day tumble following Election Day wiped out more
than half of the market's rebound from a five-year low on Oct.
27. Both the S&P 500 and Dow average posted their biggest two-day
slides since plunging more than 24 percent as rising borrowing
costs helped spur the market crash of October 1987.


Europe Slides


BP Plc led a 5.6 percent retreat in Europe's benchmark index
even after the Bank of England unexpectedly cut its benchmark
interest rate by 1.5 percentage points to 3 percent to contain
damage from a recession. Switzerland's central bank and the
European Central Bank reduced their main lending rates by 50
basis points.


The S&P 500 is down 38 percent this year, poised for the
steepest annual retreat since 1937. The benchmark for U.S.
equities has plunged 42 percent since its record in October 2007
after the U.S. economy shrunk in two of the last four quarters.


The VIX, as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility
Index is known, climbed 17 percent to 63.68. The measure tracks
the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the
S&P 500.


``It's just been a steady, steady sell,'' said Alan Gayle,
the Richmond, Virginia-based senior strategist at Ridgeworth
Investments, which oversees about $70 billion. ``The pain and
frustration and anxiety of these volatile moves from one day to
the next has discouraged a lot of investors to move to the
sidelines.''


Lost Jobs


About 481,000 workers filed initial jobless claims last
week, the Labor Department said today in Washington, exceeding
the 477,000 projected by economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
The number of people staying on benefit rolls was the most since
February 1983.


A report tomorrow will probably show U.S. employers
eliminated jobs in October for a 10th consecutive month, based on
economists' estimates.


Earnings at companies in the S&P 500 that have reported
third-quarter results fell 9.2 percent on average, Bloomberg data
show. Analysts expect full-year profits to drop 7.7 percent,
according to a compilation of analysts' estimates.


S&P 500 energy companies lost 6.1 percent as a group, as oil
declined for the third time this week. Crude for December
delivery retreated 6.9 percent to $60.77 a barrel, the lowest
settlement since March 2007.


Exxon Mobil, the world's largest oil company, tumbled $3.73
to $69.96, while Chevron Corp. slid 6.4 percent to $70.11.


Tech Slump


Cisco Systems Inc. declined 2.6 percent to $16.94. The
biggest maker of networking equipment forecast the first revenue
drop in five years because of the financial crisis.


Advanced Micro Devices Inc. tumbled 11 percent to $3.17. The
second-largest maker of personal-computer processors plans to cut
500 jobs, about 3 percent of the workforce, as part of its effort
to return to profitability.


Technology companies in the S&P 500 lost 5.4 percent
collectively. Dell Inc., Intel Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co. fell
more than 5 percent.


Amazon.com Inc. sank 9.2 percent to $47.22. The largest
Internet retailer was cut to ``hold'' from ``buy'' at Citigroup
Inc., which noted the shares' surge of as much as 36 percent
since third-quarter results and concerns consumer spending will
slow.


GM's Survival


General Motors Corp. had the steepest decline in almost a
month, tumbling 14 percent to $4.80. The largest U.S. automaker
is focused on winning government aid to survive through 2009, not
to help a merger with Chrysler LLC, as it uses cash faster than
it forecast, people familiar with the plans said. GM plans to
give an update on liquidity when it reports third-quarter results
tomorrow.


Tyco Electronics Ltd. fell the most in more than a year,
slumping 12 percent to $16.78. Fiscal fourth-quarter profit slid
55 percent on restructuring costs and the company forecast a
``significant'' drop in sales and earnings this period.


News Corp.'s Class A shares tumbled $1.53 to $8.26. Fiscal
2009 profit will drop in the ``low to mid teens'' in percentage
terms, the company said after previously forecasting a gain of 4
percent to 6 percent.


Financial stocks in the S&P 500 fell 6.7 percent as a group,
led lower by Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. The
group is down 52 percent in 2008 as the slowing economy raises
concern banks will be hit by more bad loans after the subprime
mortgage market's collapse led to $690 billion in credit losses
worldwide.


Blackstone's Loss


Blackstone tumbled $1.05 to $7.55 after the financial crisis
eroded the value of the businesses and real estate it has
acquired, triggering a quarterly loss excluding items of $502.5
million. Blackstone had been expected to break even, based on the
average estimate of seven analysts in a Bloomberg survey.


Wells Fargo declined 9.2 percent to $28.77 after the biggest
bank on the U.S. West Coast said it plans to sell stock to fund
the purchase of Wachovia Corp. The bank also said losses from the
acquisition will be less than previously expected.


The bank, which disclosed the share offering yesterday in a
statement, had said it would raise as much as $20 billion to fund
the deal. That was before the Treasury said it was buying $25
billion of Wells Fargo's preferred shares.


Libor Declines


The slump in financials came even as the London interbank
offered rate, or Libor, for three-month loans in dollars dropped
12 basis points to 2.39 percent today, the lowest level since
November 2004, according to the British Bankers' Association.


Las Vegas Sands Corp., billionaire Sheldon Adelson's casino
company, posted the biggest drop since becoming a publicly traded
company with a 33 percent plunge to $7.85 after saying it may
default on debt and face bankruptcy.


Big Lots Inc. plunged 26 percent to $17.31 for the steepest
decline in the S&P 500. The largest U.S. seller of overstocked
and discontinued items said third-quarter profit may be below its
prediction.


October same-store sales fell 0.9 percent at U.S. chain
stores, the first drop in seven months, and declined 4.2 percent
excluding Wal-Mart, the International Council of Shopping Centers
said. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had projected a 0.7
percent increase.


Excluding the effect of the shifting Easter holiday, it's
the first decline since at least 2000, according to research firm
Retail Metrics LLC.


Grocers Gain


Whole Foods Market Inc. climbed 1.7 percent to $10.48. The
largest U.S. natural-foods grocer received a $425 million equity
investment from Leonard Green & Partners LP.


Kroger Co., the biggest U.S. supermarket chain, added 1.1
percent to $26.99. Safeway Inc., the third-largest, rose 2
percent to $22.03.


Analysts are lowering fourth quarter and 2009 profit
forecasts for U.S. companies as third-period results miss
projections at the highest rate in almost 11 years.


Companies in the S&P 500 may see fourth-quarter earnings
advance 15 percent, down from 42 percent projected at the end of
August, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts. Profits in
2009 may grow 13 percent, analysts say, compared with the 24
percent predicted two months ago.

I Love His Movies....but

Nothing funny about Obama losing, funnyman Woody Allen says

US filmmaker Woody Allen, best known for such comedy classics as "Annie Hall," says it will be no laughing matter if Barack Obama fails to win the race for the White House.


"It would be a disgrace and a humiliation if Barack Obama does not
win," he told Spanish journalists at the ongoing 56th San Sebastian
film festival, where his latest film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" is
being screened.

"It would be a very, very terrible thing for the United States in many, many ways," he said.

The Child Brings Light to the World


"And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the
Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the
shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the
wilderness.


The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family,
offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an
African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of
righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a
little blow.


When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of
Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet
Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard
and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our
hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”


In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary,
wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of
Working Class Whites...."

Obama's Craziest Supporter?

You have to love a guy (whom we tried to kill) in a Captain Stubing suit who calls a meeting to praise the "Kenyan, Muslim" virtues of Barack H. Obama.

Example:
    "There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother, who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.  We hope that this is merely an elections "clearance sale," as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie. As you know, this is the farce of elections – a person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him, and afterwards, when they say to him: "You promised this and that," he says: "No, this was just elections propaganda." This is the farce of democracy for you. He says: "This was propaganda, and you thought I was being serious. I was fooling you to get your votes."

The Obama Mania and Mass Hysteria (because that’s exactly what it is) that swept Senator Barack Obama to where he currently is was greatly helped by a friendly media eager to see him President. In that regard they have undertaken an effort to visually display Obama as a godlike messiah figure. Behold the Halos of Barack Obama:

Obama-Khalidi Connection

(From HotAir.com)
"We have written on the network of radicals attached to Barack Obama’s
political and public career, and perhaps none carry the impact of
Rashid Khalidi. Barack Obama tried to shrug off Khalidi as a person he
“knew” from Khalidi’s days at the University of Chicago, but the
connections go much deeper than that. As Daniel Pipes explains in this
clip to Sean Hannity, Khalidi and Obama have raised money for each
other — and Khalidi’s connections to the PLO demonstrate just how
radical Obama’s circle gets:

Alicia Keys is a Troofer?


My Way News - Keys Talks About Her Conspiracy Theories

There's another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist. The Grammy-winning
singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to
convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist."


Keys, 27, said she's read several Black Panther autobiographies and
wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength,
power and killing 'em dead," according to an interview in the
magazine's May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.


Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers
Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the
media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

Obama aims for pro-gun vote

Barack
Obama
did not hunt or fish as a child. He lives in a big city. And as an
Illinois state legislator and a U.S. senator, he consistently backed gun control
legislation.


But he is nevertheless making a play for pro-gun voters in
rural Pennsylvania.

By highlighting his background in constitutional law
and downplaying his voting record, Obama is engaging in a quiet but targeted
drive to win over an important constituency that on the surface might seem
hostile to his views.

The need to craft a strategy aimed at pro-gun
voters underscores the potency of the issue in Pennsylvania, which claims one of
the nation’s highest per capita membership rates in the National Rifle
Association.

Obama supporter Oprah takes a big dive

The results of a March 26, 2008, AOL Television popularity poll of
television hosts reveal Americans may now embrace Ellen DeGeneres over
Oprah by a wide margin. Forty-six percent of the 1.35 million people
who participated in the poll said the daytime talk show host that “made
their day” was Ellen, compared with only 19 percent who chose Oprah.
Nearly half (47 percent) said they would rather dine with Ellen,
compared with 14 percent who preferred Oprah.

An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.

Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

Woman who killed two Scientologists pleads not-guilty

A 25-year-old woman has today pled not-guilty to the murder of her father and sister, who were active members of the Church of Scientology.

The woman today pled not-guilty to their murders at the New South Wales Supreme Court, following their stabbings deaths last year.

It is believed that the woman was suffering from a significant psychotic illness, but was denied assistance from mental health professionals because of her family's religious beliefs.
