Gustavo Come Moco

The year was 1969. One of my pre-kinder classmates whose name was Gustavo, always had his fingers up his nose, prospecting for a snack. He quickly gained the moniker: Gustavo-Come-Moco. He immediately ceased to be Gustavo, or Gus, but hence fourth be came Gustavocomemoco (Gustaff-the-booger-eater).

To this day, I have no idea what ever happened to Gustavocomemoco and his dietary habits. But to judge by the picture below, I never would have guessed that his child one day would have the First Lady visit his day-care center.

Random Firings From A Misfiring Random

This morning, I was assaulted with this bit of agit-prop:


Where do I begin to unpack this delusional pack?

At (0:48) He states:

that’s the debate about how to tackle the problem of our deficits and our debt.

Oh I dunno, Let's take this in for perspective: It took from Washington to Reagan to make a $1-T debt. It took from Reagan to Clinton to reach our $5-T debt-point. It took eight years for Bush-43 to rack-up another $5-T. And in your short 30-Month rule, you''ve burnt through another $5-Trillion.

Then at (1:00) he blunders:

It means taking on spending in our domestic programs and our defense programs

We won't fall for those putative cuts that are projected 10-years into the future and are never carried-out by future Congresses. Tip O'Neil snookered Reagan into it. Same thing happened to Bush-41 back in 1990.

Followed at (1:05) by this little gem:

It means addressing the challenges in programs like Medicare so we can strengthen those programs and protect them for future generations.

Oh, like the way you raided $500-Billion out of Medicare in order to Rube-Goldberg your 'Bammy-Care?

On his next breath at (1:08):

And it means taking on spending in the tax code – spending on tax breaks and deductions for the wealthiest Americans.

Spending on the tax code. Since when does the tax code spend? Tax Breaks don't spend, your profligate pork does! And lay-off envy hatred and resentment. They are all negative demonic emotions, used by Socialists to pit one group against the other.

At (1:41) the De-Barred Constitutional Lawyer blurts:

And we agree that we simply cannot afford to default on our national obligations for the first time in our history;

Yes - The State of Illinois Bar summarily took-away his and Michelle's law licenses in 2008. To date, no credible journalist wants to look into it. But you must have done something REALLY bad to be thrown-out as an officer of the court. But I digress. Section 4 of the 14th Amendment to our Constitution reads:

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law... shall not be questioned.

Meaning that come hell or high-water, The U.S. WILL NOT DEFAULT [PERIOD]. And if we do default, it is because you Mr. President, made a unilateral decision to question the validity of public debt against The Constitution that you swore to uphold and defend.

At (1:51) he goes on:

With a recovery that’s still fragile and isn’t producing all the jobs we need, the last thing we can afford is the usual partisan game-playing in Washington

Sure and with your constant attacks on the wealth generators of this country, what else do you expect other than "Growth-less Recoveries" as far as the eye can see. Knock-it-off with YOUR games Mr. President.

Then he has the gall at (2:02):

By getting our fiscal house in order, Congress will be in a stronger position to focus on some of the job-creating measures I’ve already proposed – like putting people to work rebuilding America’s infrastructure, or reforming our patent system so that our innovators and entrepreneurs have a greater incentive to generate new products, or making college more affordable for families.

Translation: When we raise your taxes, we can go on spending some more. And wasn't that the purpose of TARP? To lay pipe, build bridges, roads and sewers? If you didn't piss it all away on your cronies to advance your Socialist agenda, we'd have something to show for it for future generations.

At (2:27):

And businesses that may be holding back because of the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of a default by the U.S. government...

Businesses are holding-back because of all the uncertainty that you've injected into our regulatory and fiscal systems - YOU DOLT! And we will only default only because you yourself will be committing an impeachable offense - SCARE-MONGERER!

I could go on, but this entry is getting too long for my catharsis. There are many other nits to pick on this. Can you add some of your own?

Delta Airlines No-Jew Policy (A Rican's Take)

There's a Scheiße-Storm brewing regarding Delta Airline new upcoming policy of barring Jews from its international flights into Saudi Arabia.




Take a good look at the third paragraph of the above letter. In it, Delta states clearly that it is complying with Saudi law in being an agent of discrimination against Jews. In other words: Don't blame us, we're just following orders.

Well, that reminds me of Greyhound Bus old policy in Mississippi. Once upon a time, whenever its buses crossed the state-line into Mississippi, all Blacks were forced to the back of the bus. In full compliance with Mississippi State Law. In other words: Don't blame us, we're just following orders.

Well you know, someone should remind Delta that The Civil Rights Act of 1964 has been the law of the land for almost fifty years.

Its full text is: HERE

Section 201(a) of the Act reads:

All persons shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the grounds of race, color, RELIGION, or national origin.

Section 201(c)(3) further reads:

For the purposes of this section “commerce” means travel, trade, traffic, commerce, transportation, or communication among the several States,… or between any foreign country…

Last time I checked, Delta is an American-flagged carrier engaging in both interstate and in between U.S. and foreign countries. And as such would be in violation of this, our law of the land.

If the Saudis want to keep their discriminating there's little we can legaly do. After all, they are a sovereign country. Delta, on the other hand as a U.S. Corporate Citizen is obliged to comply with the laws of our nation, partnership alliances be dammed.

All Hail APEOTUS

During the past three years we have become accustomed to our beloved TOTUS. You know - That goofy electronic device which commands our President how to and when to speak in front of important constituents such as kindergartners.

Well, today the Patriot Reauthorization Act was signed into law by an Autopen. So, not only we now have a machine that makes our C-in-C speak on queue, but now we have a machine that signs constitutionally mandated documents for him too.

Lets give a warm welcome to AOTUS, or is it APEOTUS, to the Presidential stable of electronic little tyrants.

The salaries of the state legislature in Maryland is the second highest in the nation. On top of that, and (while the legislature is in session), they get reimbursed by us dumb saps, their constituents for incidentals such as lodging, food, and commuting mileage between their homes and the State Capitol in Annapolis. BTW the legislative session is usually 90-days.

Well, the local Fox affiliate has dug into the legislators' personal expenses and here's the blood-pressure boiling reportage:

FOX 5 Investigates: Taxpayer Hotels: MyFoxDC.com

Now we live in a rather small state, at commuting distance to Annapolis from most parts of the state. Unless you live in the extreme parts of Western or Southern Maryland, you are at most an hour or hour-and-a-half from the State Capitol. Legislators from Cumberland or Crisfield trully need lodging in Annapolis during working days. But what about anywhere else?

Take my representative delegation of grifters legislators. They all live 30-miles from Annapolis. Yet, over the past two years (for a total of 200-days combined) Benjamin Barnes (District 21-D), Joseline Peña (Disctirct 21-D),and Barbara Frush (District 21-D) EACH spent $20-Grand in lodging every single night of the legislative session "sleeping" at the Annapolis Westin. During the same period of time, each wolfed-down $3,500 in meals, and $550 in commuting between Annapolis and the home that he never visited because he was supposed to be "lodged" in Annapolis all this time.


Costing us a grand total (give or take) of $76,000 for them to pyjama party 30-miles from their homes.

Happy Birthday Unka-Vlad

Today is Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov's Birthday. You may all remember him by his nom de guerre:

(Click to enlarge)

No - Wait. That's most definitely what the current administration is NOT inflicting upon us, is it? But I digress. Socialists and Communists in the U.S. always wanted to openly celebrate their Autocratic Saint's Natal Day. But let's face it, he and the movement that he has engendered, suffers from a bit of Public Relation Image problem. Just a little:





The above martial display was held just this week in Havana, Cuba. BTW, at (3:30), you will see a unit of the Youth Worker's Army. That's what then Sen. Obama referred to as his Civilian Defense Force. In otherwords, civilian thugs enforcers of the revolution.




But again, I digress.

Given the bad PR that Communism had in this country, and given their wishes to celebrate their dear saint's B-Day, why not drop the Blood Red, and adopt the Alfalfa Green? Instead of calling it Lenin's B-Day, why not call it Earth Day? Just hide the mass murder under the surface, and elevate Gaia as the one being honored. Before you know it, the masses will be led on the soft path to Communism. Those in the know will still secretly know who's really is been honored and who's final goal is being reached for. The masses just like cattle won't know where they are led-to, until the chute makes a final left turn at the abattoir.

You don't believe me? Earth Day is a holiday begun by Democratic Sen. Gaylord Nelson in 1970 to keep anti-capitalist sentiment going after the Vietnam War ended.

So on behalf of this little 'Rican: Happy Birthday Dear Leader *er* I mean... Gaia.



Because as you know, all the liddle child'en looove T-34's.



See - That wasn't that bad. Communists can be so adorable and cute too!

It Was A Cold Stormy Night

But the comradeship was hot, and spirits high. On Friday April 8th, The Free Republic held vigil for the 312th consecutive Friday (or 6th Anniversary) in support to our wounded troops in front of Walter Reed AMC. Some of you may recall that this on-going effort to properly honor our wounded warriors was prompted, when Code Pink decided to deride them every Friday evening in front of the hospital's main gate.

As I was saying, last Friday evening, the weather was lousy about 38º and under a driving unrelenting rain. Still about three dozen patriots converged at the 7100 Block of Georgia Avenue N.W. and for three hours brought cheer to our soldiers and loved ones.



Below are a few snaps of my good friends: The Colonel, and Patriot Sister One.





Did I tell you that it was raining hard and cold?

There were two highlights to the night. The first was when a recovering soldier and two of his buddies came zooming out of the hospital and to the corner of the gate in wheelchairs, convoy-style. Their mission: To await for the delivery of pizza. YUMMM! Needless to say, they were instant chick-magnets.

The other, was to see the reaction of those inside the returning bus filled with wounded warriors and their families, out for a free steak dinner. Please read the linked report: HERE.

And, for The Freeper's perspective on that evening's activities, their post is: HERE.

No WMD's Here - No Siree Bob

As a recovering ex-resident of San Diego, I do follow-up on what's going on in that corner of the country. And as such, I've come across this bit of news...

Last week, a local San Diego news reporter interviewed Al Hallor, Assistant San Diego Port Director for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. During the interview the subject casually turned to whether WMD's have ever been intercepted at the local port. That's when the Public Affairs Officer monitoring the interview put in the breaks on the interview.

It is strange that no major newspaper in this country has picked-up this bit of news. The San Diego Tribune is all mum about the subject. To get the report, one has to go to Britain and its Daily Mail for coverage. Report: HERE.

The spin, and tergiversant obfuscation begins: Oh he was just nervous on camera, I'm sure of it.

The original interview is below:



The follow-up report is below (Please click on the image, as there is no embed code).

Move along and go back to sleep; for there is nothing to see here.
