(Pssssst... hey, Janet!)

The Associated Press reported today:
"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is asserting that the description she initially gave of the border swine-flu monitoring effort no longer applies. Appearing Wednesday before a Senate panel, Napolitano said that "passive surveillance" is "not an accurate picture of what is going on" at U.S. entry points. She had used that term Tuesday morning to describe the nature of the monitoring for illness. On Wednesday, Napolitano said that U.S. officials are "actively" questioning visitors at the border, asking questions about "whether they are ill, their travel history and the like." She also discounted turning to thermal meters to gauge whether people are carrying a fever, and Napolitano also said she does not believe the facts of the current situation would merit closing the borders."

Psssssst... hey, Janet: while you're at it, why don't you have the Border Patrol ask them if they are smuggling drugs or planning to overstay their visas? That way we could solve all these problems through active dialogue! Why didn't President Bush think of that?! Well spank my ass and call me Arlen, I'm switching to Democrat! Yeehaw!!!

..... Jackass.

D'ohbama!

Manhattan was plunged into chaos today as Air Force One, escorted by military jets, conducted an unannounced photo op low over the Statue of Liberty (watch the pandemonium here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn0tMMYEkQU&feature=player_embedded )

Louis Caldera, Director of the White House Military Office, seems to be the fall guy for the moment.

Let's conduct a thought experiment: imagine if this had happened under President George W. Bush. How would the drive-by media handle the fly-by? Answer: the howler monkeys at MSNBC would be screeching and throwing journalistic feces for days.

But for D'ohbama? Aw, shucks. Let's turn to more photos of Abu Ghraib!

Mexican Swine Flu Epidemic

So, can we get serious about border security now?

Too late. Nevermind.

If people start dying here, I'd like Nancy Pelosi to lecture us again on how border security is

"un-American."

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

I almost forgot, it's Earth Day once again. The first Earth Day was held in 1970, and the High Priests of the Eco-Nazi Cabal banged gongs, barked at the moon, and warned us about the dangers of... global cooling.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

So the next time the Goracle is screaming on your television, help save the planet... and turn him off.

Liberal Math: 17% = 90%

The Obama administration and his pet parrots in the mainstream media have been squawking about 90% of drug-war guns seized in Mexico coming from the USA!!! However, Ed Morrissey does the actual math on Hotair.com (quoted below, "The WaPo repeats the Mexican gun canard" 16 April 2009) and dissects the Washington Post's article written by Spencer Hsu:

"The ATF correctly states that of the guns that can be successfully traced by the ATF or FBI from the guns sent to them by Mexican authorities, about 90% have origins in the US. However, Mexico doesn’t send all of the guns that they capture to the US for tracing; only about a third of them get sent here. Of that third, roughly half can’t be traced at all, thanks to efforts to strip the weapons of registration markings. With the other half, about nine of ten can be traced to the US, which works out to about 17% of all weapons seized by Mexican officials.
Even Hsu’s data should have given him a clue. With 35,000 weapons confiscated, a 90% figure should mean the US identified 31,500 weapons as originating in the US. However, during that time, only 5,114 of those weapons got traced back to the US, or about 17%, give or take. The rest of the weapons originate in Russia, China, Central and South America — and from discharged veterans and deserter from the Mexican Army, who keep their weapons and then sell them on the black market.
This is the kind of information that might be handy to WaPo readers: accurate and factual. Perhaps both governments trot out that nonsense, but shouldn’t newspapers exist to test government claims? However, when one knows what the real numbers are, one can’t write about an “iron river of guns.” Maybe Hsu should stick to poetry."

So according to liberal talking points, 17% = 90% as long as it ends in gun control. Remember: if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. Thanks Lenin and WaPo!

You might be a right wing extremist if...

• On 07 April 2009, Janet Napolitano's Dept. of Homeland Security issued a threat assessment titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current
  Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." Using one data point (Timothy McVeigh, 1995) she connects the...er, dot and warns all the nation's law enforcement agencies to monitor anyone who:

• opposes any form of abortion
• opposes "immigration" (the report lumps together "immigration" and "illegal immigration")
• opposes gun control
• is a "disgruntled military veteran"
• perceives "government infringement on civil liberties"
• and the list goes on...

No, this is not a joke. Remember all the left-wing nutroots shrieking and screaming about the coming of the "Bush-Hitler"? I guess when fascism actually arrives, it's okay... so long as it's a Democrat. At least Obama didn't put incompetent ideologues in charge of any other government agencies... oh, snap!

It's America that needs to hit the 'Reset' button

Remember Hillary Clinton's "Reset" button? It had the wrong word written in the wrong alphabet, but she presented it to Russia's Foreign Minister anyway. Chuckles all around! Is Hillary incompetent, arrogant, or both (what's the Russian for "clueless")? I'm thinking Clinton's predecessor Condi Rice would have spotted the error... since she's fluent in Russian. But thanks for cackling through it all, Madame Hillary! It's okay to laugh at yourself, as long as the rest of the world is laughing at you, too.
