Minnesota Democratic Senate candidate Al Franken had to cough up $70,000 in back taxes since 2003 to 17 different states, and then he had this to say:

“What happened is our accountant made a mistake, and all of these are repercussions of that same mistake. His mistake was not understanding the law, the obligation to pay these state taxes.”

No Al, your mistake was hiring the guy in the first place. Smug idiot. Like all “proper” Democrats, you blame someone else for your comedy of errors.

They’re done. Now I wonder what Shaq will do during the offseason…catch a few Illegals for Sheriff Joe, perhaps? Now I’d PAY to see that!

...and the Bills Taketh Away. I got my $600 “economic stimulus” check today via direct deposit, and it literally saved my bacon on a couple of my bills. It doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that the majority of Americans who receive this check will not be spending it, like the Government wants us to.
Whew! [Wipes Forehead]

These three Associate Justices are, of course, in unison with the Democrats and the ACLU, when the rest of SCOTUS voted to allow states such as Indiana to require Photo ID when showing up at the polls. When I found out about this tonight at work, that made me a happy camper for the rest of the evening, because this ruling also upholds Arizona’s law.
Frak You Governor Napolitano!
Countdown for other underhanded attempts at Voter Fraud by the Democrats and their buddies at the ACLU in 5…4…3…2…1….

As a followup to this morning’s Global Warming post, Iteki sent these photos in from his burg which got, all told, 12” of snow over the weekend:


He also provided the following link to the local rag about said snowfall. The comments are a hoot! Thanks Iteki!

A truck with 60 people on board overturns on or near (most likely) The 10 near Arizona City, and four people are killed; one of these was the driver. 27 more were taken to the hospital. The rest ran into the desert. Speed and booze were involved. Now get this:

Investigators believe the people on board were illegal immigrants….[Emphasis added by Ed.]

Amazingly STUPID the Associated (with Terrorists) Press writer is for saying that, given that the uninjured survivors simply ran off into the desert. Oh, and there’s no byline either. Makes you wonder who the writer is too.

Y’all know who’s at the crux of it. Lots of meteorologists have signed on to The Goracle’s meme. But one guy hasn’t...lo and behold it’s a guy who I haven’t seen on TV in years, and that’s because he’s been in Sandy Eggo working his retirement job!

We’re in a cooling trend. The sun has gone quiet. Those guys in Canada and Russia are talking about an ice age; they’ve probably gone over the edge, but they have a point. The sun is in a very quiet phase. A cooling trend is under way.
South America has had the worst winter in 50 years. China has had the worst winter in 50 years. The United States is having a real old-fashioned winter. Alaska just finished one of the worst cold spells in a couple of decades — I didn’t see any press on it at all, but it was 40 below for seven days straight in Fairbanks. Another Alaskan community had 72 below, some of the coldest weather they’ve ever seen in modern times in Alaska. The Arctic ice cap that we heard all about melting last summer is frozen up.

And remember folks, this is all attributable to that Global Warming!
Yeah, right.

I swear, every other time the “Reverend” Al Sharpton is in the news, he’s stirring up hatred; racial or not, it doesn’t matter. Besides, two of the NYPD detectives who were acquitted of the shooting death of Sean Bell were black. This time, his goal is to shut down New York City. I’d love to see him try.
Then we could all sit back and watch what transpires. Shades of Denver, anyone? Please pass the popcorn please.

More apologies to Stephen Sondheim, Judy Collins, and all amorous couples:

Not from a bitch,
More than a pair.
Superior drug-sniffing dogs
They do declare.
But where are the clones?
Quick, send in the clones.
Don’t bother…they’re here.

Now here’s a kick-a** song from the halcyon early days of Queen. Liar is from their first self-titled album, and I listened to it a lot when I was in high school. I really should buy this album again. Anyway, without further ado:

It’s not what you think.
If you’ve noticed a change of typeface in the headings and sections on this blog (and of course, can’t miss the banner!), there’s a good reason for this. A very interesting article showed up over at the Los Angeles Saddam Times about the three campaigns’ typefaces and how people relate to them:

Typefaces with big round O’s and tails are considered more friendly, whereas linear fonts evoke overtones of “rigidity, technology and coldness,” according to British psychologist Dr. Aric Sigman who published a 2001 study, “The Psychology of Fonts.”
With artistic flourishes such as a tail on a lowercase “a,” serif styles “conjure images of trustworthiness,” whereas uncluttered sans serif styles “carry less emotional baggage,” he says.

It turns out Clinton’s main typeface is New Baskerville; Obama’s is Gotham (with his logo rendered in Requiem), and McCain’s is Optima, which turns out to be very significant in that Optima is the typeface used on the Vietnam Memorial, and it makes perfect sense, given his military service. The article is indeed interesting to consume.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Mama Moonbat actually defeated Nancy Pelosi this fall? As long as she can get 10,198 signatures on a petition, her name will appear on the ballot and residents of California’s 8th Congressional District will get the opportunity to see those two paragons of liberal virtue (is that an oxymoron?) fight it out.
To help raise awareness for the campaign, perhaps Cindy should hold a few frak-ins for her friends and supporters of Code Pink. I’ll bet they can get a permit, no sweat.

Courtesy of ExposeObama.com, here’s yet another reason why Barack HUSSEIN Obama should NOT be elected…and it has everything to do with where he cut his political teeth, in the Народный Социалистический Город-Государство Чикаго*:

Some time ago, I was recommended by a third party to set up an account on Battlestar Wiki due to my extensive knowledge of the Original Series. I set it up right away, but didn’t contribute. Until now.
Nothing major…only a mild update to the entry for Galen Tyrol. Keepa U Fingers Crossed and we’ll see how long his demotion (and the entry modification) lasts.

This week, Baltar’s group is attacked by the Sons of Ares for their beliefs. He turns it around and disrupts a service and gets thrown into the brig for his efforts. Galen has one too many drinks to try and drown his sorrow for losing Cally, who was never an angel in the first place because of her hatred for Cylons. His drowning almost cost Racetrack and Skulls their lives when their Raptor fraks up during flight…they barely get back to the battlestar. It also costs him his rank; the Admiral busts him down to Specialist and kicks him off his ship.
Tigh takes a liking (no, not that kind of liking) to Caprica Six, but instead sees Ellen. He asks if she feels any pain for all the billions of people she’s killed. Six tells the Colonel yes, she feels pain, and wants to feel pain, because she has to experience pain in order to grow, then proceeds to beat the snot out of him.
Lee sees through Roslin’s bulls**t with the order prohibiting peaceful assembly only for Baltar’s group; the Quorum overrules Roslin’s decision. Baltar gets the snot beaten out of him while said order was still in force. Yes, Lee saves Baltar’s a** once again.
Finally, it looks as though the Old Man won’t be wearing a dress any time soon (see previous entry)...but he has taken quite nicely to reading bedtime stories to the President, who’s really starting to lose it.
