Nightly Ramble:Updates, Racial ID, Desperation, And More

  • Turns out that the upgrade I’m planning for this weekend, itself needed a few upgrades as a prerequisite. For example, I use an automatic upgrade package, which needed updating. All that’s been done. I must say, WordPress is getting easier to run, anymore, despite it all. Now i we could get some utils to touch up the database…
  • I see William “Cold Cash” Jefferson won one in his fight to stay out of jail… though he didn’t win much… [1]James over at OTB [2]wonders just a bit at the slow pace of this case. I tell him:

    You didn’t really think this was going to be allowed at front and center during an election cycle, now, did you?And I can’t help but think that his re-election and the ardent defense being put up down there is part and parcel of what we have been seeing with Obama/Wright/liberation theology, et al.

    There’s no doubt in my mind that Jefferson, were he white, would be smelling up a jail cell somewhere. You tell ME; How many white folks would not only get to stay in office but get re-elected, after being caught with a half million dollars of bribe money in the freezer, and then tell me this isn’t yet another case of racial identity trumping fact. Similarly, there’s not a shred of doubt in my mind that Obama, were he white, would not have even made it to the status of ‘also ran’ in this election. Tell me how many White folks with an equal lack of a record of accomplishment to Obama’s…. particularly those with 20-year ties a screeching racist, as Obama has,…. would be a half step away from a presidential nomination. In both cases, Jefferson and Obamathey are where they are not because of the facts of their respective cases, but because of their racial identity, and folks supporting them for this alone. I think most people are above this kind of ‘us’ vs ‘them’ racial mentality, and thank God for them…… but there’s enough of ’em out that that are not above it, to make my statements alarmingly true.  OJ ring any bells, Gang? Same thing, different scenario. Rodney King? Same thing. And all of it is reflected rather clearly ini the attitude projected in the work of Cone, and Wright.

  • Bruce, [3] it’s like I said last night [4]; It”s a mark of the degree of desperation the Democrats are feeling just now, when they say that Al Gore is the better of the three situations. And here’s the thing; His poking his head out of oblivion just now to announce $300MUSD of someone’s money going to support his global warming nonsense….. think that wasn’t timed? I’m telling you; It was set up to mesh with whatever developed in terms of a presidential run. No, I don’t think he’ll make it even with that boost. Still, I wouldn’t put his trying past him… nor would I put it past the Democrats who are watching this trainwreck of theirs unfold. At the moment, they’re looking for anything that’ll float. And what better floatation device then a hunk of wood?
  • I see where Hillary Clinton [5] is having a little difficulty paying her health insurance bills. I mean, this stuff is just rich….
  • Speaking of Hillary Clinton, Boortz posted a list of her lies, [6] yesterday… and I’m going to reprint the whole thing in hopes of stirring a little bit of blog interest, and get it into Technorati….(Let’s just say his listing there are less than complete) There’s the Bosnia Sniper business, of course…

    :

    • Then there’s the story about Chelsea jogging around the World Trade Center when the Islamic terrorists attacked on 9/11. Wasn’t true. Chelsea was nowhere near the trade center. Where did Hillary get this story? Did her daughter make a mistake and tell her that she was out jogging? Hardly. There was no basis at all for this lie. None. This was Hillary trying to make herself a part of this tragic story .. telling a bold lie in order to bring to herself just some of the sympathy felt for those who suffered actually losses in this attack by Muslim goons.
    • How about Monica Lewinsky? Do you really think that the whole story was just made up by some “vast right wing conspiracy” to discredit her husband? Come on now. How many so-called “bimbo eruptions” had Hillary handled before Monica came huffing along? She knew what a whore-dog her husband was, yet she sat there and prattled on about a right-wing conspiracy. Just another lie.
    • Then we have the Sir Edmund Hillary thing. Yeah .. her mother named her after the first person to climb Mt. Everest. Problem is, nobody had heard of Sir Edmund Hillary when Hillary Rodham was born. A lie.
    • Remember Bill Clinton pardoning those Puerto Rican FALN terrorists as he left office? Hillary was running for the Senate in New York at the time, and the Puerto Rican community was demanding these terrorists be pardoned. Hillary – the woman so involved with everything Bill did in the White House – says she didn’t know about the pardons. Right.
    • Oh yeah … Hillary wanted to be an astronaut. Remember this one? She wrote NASA to find out how to apply, and she says they wrote back saying that they “don’t take girls.” Sally Ride was about three years younger than Hillary when she became the first U.S. woman in space. Do you believe that NASA actually sent that letter to Hillary.
    • Then there’s this biggie. The Rose Law Firm billing records. This wasn’t an inconsequential lie designed to enhance her image. It was a lie to cover her rear end. Investigators wanted her billing records from the Rose Law Firm to see if she had done any work on a tax scam known as Casa Grande. She claimed – under oath – that she didn’t have those billing records, that she didn’t know where they were, and that she frankly doubted that they existed at all. Well .. it turns out they did indeed exist. They were found in her private quarters in the White House two years after she swore under oath that she didn’t have them. Not only were they found, but they had her handwriting and fingerprints on them. This particular lie was a crime. She was never prosecuted.
    • Moving right along to the soccer lie. The story here was supposed to be that Hillary was on a junior high school soccer team and had a confrontation with the goal tender from an opposing team. If I remember the story correctly, the opposing goalie told Hillary that she didn’t like white people. Oh yeah .. like high school soccer goalies just spontaneously blurt out their hatred for white people during a soccer game. The problem here was that the school Hillary was attending didn’t have a soccer team. Another lie.
    • Hillary says she didn’t give the order to fire the White House travel office staff. Staffers remember the exact words she used: “Fire their asses.” She then had their asses and all their belongings unceremoniously dumped on the Ellipse behind the White House.

    Do you begin to understand who we’re dealing with, here?

  • Of course Obama’s been caught in a lie or three of late, also. Ken Vogel over at  The Politico [7] notes one of the biggies. Look, let’s face it, both the Democrats have disqualified themseves from the White House. Not that such is going to stop idiots from giving them the reinds of power…
  • An honorable mention in the OTB Caption Contest. [8] I’ve already come up with several zingers for the one coming up on Thursday. I dunno…Sometimes I just catch a wave with it….
  • 50’s around here today, with a little rain. Some serious wind this afternoon… Gusts to 50mph. If it wasn’t for that, I might have tried washing the truck today. Still, spring is here…The Robins are back, so are the geese. still waiting for the first Heron.
