Just how filthy is the Obama White House?



We know the current President treats America's enemies with the utmost respect, and bows happily before Muslim royals and Emperors of countries that waged war upon the US.  So, it's no surprise he'd treat a peaceful, benevolent ally of the United States, and all democracies, such as the Dalai Llama with such disrespect.

Forcing this man to leave via the garbage chute, like he was livestock, an actual llama, is mortifying.

Which door do William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Oprah, Bertha Lewis (ACORN), and the head of the SEIU use when they come and go from the White House?

If anyone deserves to be thrown out with the garbage, it's these people.  NOT the Dalai Llama.

Of course there were two other routes to the press pool that were shorter and a more comfortable trip for an old guy with flip-flops than to track thru ice and garbage - with cameras watching.  This had to be done on purpose for the Chinese.  And of course m'Bonga is a Muslim and they hate Buddhists.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with certainty the heaviest element known to science.

The new element, Pelosium (PL), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Pelosium is inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Pelosium has a normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a biennial reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will promote many morons to become isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Pelosium becomes Senatorium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Pelosium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

My favorite Winter Olympic event? Women's Biathlon. It is a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Why is it my favorite? Athletic, attractive women. In skin-tight outfits. With guns.  If they allowed beach volleyball players to carry side arms I do believe it would be the perfect spectator sport.   -  Rich Galen

This snowfall is supposed to dump another foot of gerbil worming on us today. 

We got a couple of inches then it switched over to rain.  That happens a lot as close to the ocean as we are.

So instead of snow right now, we have what is left over from the last storm, and flooding.  Inland they are getting hammered.  Both my office and the location I've been working at in Princeton are closed today.  However, I have remote access so I'm continuing the job from home.

That's pushing 4 feet of snow in the past 6 weeks at the Joisey Shore.  And places inland and south have beat that by a couple of feet.  There were places in Jersey that got 3 feet in the first storm, 2 feet in the second, and a foot and a half in this one.

Update:  Well, I got all my work done remotely, and it's now 5PM and snowing to beat hell.  I expect to be buried again by the morning.  What an adventure.  I can't even get a good estimate on how much show we got. 

It's now 10PM and looking at the tire tracks in the road it looks like only about 8 inches (Thank you rain).  There was so much snow in the yard already, I can't tell the latest accumulation amount by looking there.  My nephew, 40 miles northwest, got AT LEAST 2 feet of new snow, on top of the 2 feet he got a few days ago.  The total so far for South Jersey is a record 65.5 inches...all in the past 6 weeks.

Gormaggedon, indeed.

1) Liberals believe they can change human nature. Sure, human beings can be shaped and molded to a certain extent. Any parent who has spanked a child can tell you that. However, most people care more about what they're having for lunch today than an earthquake that kills ten thousand people on the other side of the world. We're just built that way and no amount of sensitivity training, preschool classes, or Michael Moore documentaries is going to "fix" it.

2) Liberals believe we can talk everything out with our enemies. One of the weirder quirks of liberalism is their belief that many of our bitterest enemies have rational reasons for disliking us and that can easily be talked away if they realize we're good people. Hence, the common liberal refrain of, "Why do they hate us?" The reason this is a particularly odd belief is that liberals don't even believe this about conservatives in the United States. The average liberal thinks that if we're nice enough, we can reach an understanding with Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck can't be reasoned with.

3) Liberals don't have enough respect for our culture and traditions: To liberals, our cultural, economic, and political norms were formed by backwards troglodytes making arbitrary decisions based on superstition and racism. Unfortunately for them, as a general rule, that's not so and proceeding as if it is, will often lead to exactly the same difficulties that our ancestors already dealt with in times past. No matter how smart we are, as Thomas Sowell would say, our wisdom is often no match for the "distilled experience of millions who faced similar human vicissitudes before." Truly wise people are aware that there is a great deal that they do not know.

4) Liberalism is a fundamentally immoral political philosophy. Ironically, given all their talk about "shades of gray," liberals have a very Manichean view of the world. They consider their fellow travelers to be on the side of the angels, while the people who disagree with them are treated as evil. This leads to an "anything goes" mentality when dealing with their foes: ignoring the law via a "living constitution," politically based prosecutions, shouting down opposing speakers, and treating lying about their agenda or opponents to be moral. On the other hand, liberals will support other libs, no matter how corrupt, sleazy, or vile they are as long as they're politically useful to the left. See Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, John Murtha, and Robert Byrd for examples of that. In other words, as Margaret Thatcher has said of the Left, "For them, the end always seems to justify the means."

5) Liberals believe merely being liberal makes them good people. Liberals who're obsessed with money think they're compassionate because they give away other people's tax dollars. They believe they care more about the earth than other people, even as they fly around in private jets, because they babble on about global warming. They can be dumb as a rock, but believe they're smarter than most other people because they're liberals. In other words, in the minds of most liberals, liberalism is an all-purpose substitute for actual virtue instead of just another political philosophy.

6) Liberals have too much faith in government. Even most liberals would admit that government regularly fails the people. If you don't believe that, just ask them about the Bush Administration and they'll give you an earful. However, liberals tend to believe that with the right person in charge, government won't be so slow, stupid, inefficient, and badly run. Human history proves that they're wrong about that.

7) Liberals have minimal interest in whether the programs they support work or not. To most liberals, whether a government program betters people's lives is completely irrelevant to whether they'll support it. A program that doesn't work and costs billions, but sounds compassionate and helps Democrats politically is a huge success in the eyes of the Left. Once you understand that liberals think this way, their baffling support for programs that make no "common sense" is much easier to understand.

Kid: Great, dad!
(Kid mows lawn)
Kid: All finished, dad. Can I have my money now?
Dad: Here ya go!
(Kid counts money)
Kid: Hey, there's only $5 here!
Dad: Well, it started out as $15, but you have to spread the wealth son. I gave $5 each to your friends, Jamal and Jose. Don't you feel good?
Kid: No, those two are lazy assholes. Jamal steals other kid's lunches and Jose can't even speak English.
Dad: Well, we have to take "from each according to his means" and give "to each according to his needs". That's the way the system works.
Kid: What system is that?
Dad: Socialism.
Kid: Socialism sucks ass.
Dad: (Laughing) Absolutely right. Now that you've learned that, here's your other $10.
Kid: You didn't give it to Jamal or Jose?
Dad: Hell no... why would I give money to those lazy pukes?
