Gore, Goblins, Ghouls and Ghosts

Dont Even Think About It

Well, it has been a busy week off here at Artorius, and there is much to report. We took the week off to regroup and re-think strategy, as well as studying the opposition for anything new, or even something may have proved us wrong in some of our positions. There was some debate about that aspect of the hiatus, as we found nothing but enhancement to our views out of the mouths of the usual suspects. But we really did want to re-examine some of our positions.

Those who are paying attention to what goes on in congress and the White House, know that the Socialized Medicine debate is still raging, and show no signs of abating. There is no way this won’t force some kind of conclusion, like the “Nuclear Option”, or a midnight executive order, that is how convoluted the issue is. Since they will be forced, a lot of people from all walks of life are going to get their feelings hurt. The intensity in which the debate has raged and the passionate testimonials and tributes from both sides made us wonder if maybe there wasn’t something to ObamaCare, PelosiCare, or the Care du Jour. Or maybe our rhetoric might have been out of line, or worse, rooted in untruths. Our week’s scrutiny just enhanced our belief; Government Run Health Care is a non starter. Yes, Health Care needs to be fixed, but our position remains the same; the same Government who brought us the Transportation Security Administration, should be kept as far away from our families medical records as physically possible.

But as we said, it was a busy hiatus for news, so let’s start with the “Sky is Falling Department”. Yep, algore is back in the news claiming all kinds of absurdity that anyone with a High School education in the sciences would question. The American Thinker Blog, in a piece titled Gore Gone Wild: Predicts 220 Foot Sea Level Rise in 10 years Captain Carbon Credit even throws a new term at us, Climate Refugee. I laughed out loud when I read it, but one the interns, in a snarky comment about my age, questioned which cave I lived in, as the term was coined some time ago. Not in our circles, or anyone’s with a lick of common sense, I countered. It turns out, I’m so out of touch, that the UN has actually chided algore on his use of the term and prefers instead to refer to those displaced by 220 foot rising seas in 10 years as “Environmentally Induced Migrants”. Saints preserve us.

Co-Conspirators in Treasonous Power

The Goblins of Congress, Pelosi and Reid, this week are getting together to discuss reconciling the PelosiCare bill with ReidObamaBaucusCare. Between the 477 different bills and ideas, there is NO WAY reconciliation can even be considered unless Nancy gets her Socialized Medicine. The Senate bills have a whole bunch silly alternatives to Government Run Health Care, most notably a “trigger” in case benchmarks aren’t met, that will force Government Run Health Care. We don’t claim to have the answers to the issue, but we are fairly certain these two don’t. Why should they? It is not their money, and any decision they make doesn’t affect them; PelosiObamaBaucusReidCare will not apply to them. If there were ever two folks who needed to have their citizenship stripped and exiled it is these two criminals. Joe Lieberman, the Senate’s other Maverick (except the Left hates this particular one for some reason; they loved McCain), has stated he will join the GOP in a filibuster against PelosiReidObamaBauscusCare. The Democrats trial balloon response? A DNC connected blogger appeared on Rachel Maddow’s show (thereby doubling her viewership) said the Dems have the power to close down the Submarine Base at Groton, CT. This is what passes as civil discourse in a Dem controlled congress; threatening National Security and our troops to punish a legislator for not drinking the ObamaReidPelosiBaucusCare kool aid.

Lastly, flu shots and the H1N1 vaccine are back en vogue. Well, en vogue for those who aren’t being “advised strongly” to get vaccinated. We have learned that manufacturers wont vaccinate their own kids, and have found videos of other scientists saying stay away from it. There have also been documented cases of bad side effects from the vaccine. Granted it was rushed to production when cases started appearing, but since the malady had proven treatable and manageable by most standards, we wonder if we should let the virus burn itself out. Yes, we have considered mutation rates, but consider this; where did the vaccine come from? In other words, is any one at least curious as to how the vaccine came about so quickly? There is another rumor, as yet unconfirmed by State Run Media, that the virus is man made, and might have escaped from a lab. It would certainly explain the speed in which the vaccine came about.

This All Hallows Eve will bring out all kinds of creepy critters, but we think the scariest denizens of this Republic live and work in Washington, DC.

And the Winner is…Senator Olympia Snowe !

Dont Even Think About It

Senator Olympia Snowe, (R) ME, was the big winner today in the Congressional Taxpayer sweepstakes. Going all in on her committee vote, the Senator opted for Door Number 3, and won the trifecta. The actual reward and prize money was kept from the taxpayers, of course. “When history calls, history calls,” was her justification for casting her lot against her own and going solo from Party. Honest folks across the continent lamented the fact that a REPUBLICAN Senator just cast the deciding vote to allow Government Run Health Care to leave the committee. Funny, we thought she should be doing it for those who voted for her and whose Party she receives funding from. “Now they will always point to her and claim it was bi-partisan,” said our youngest intern. “This would have never happened in the Clinton War Room or in the Democrat Party, Democrat Senators NEVER go off the Reservation on a vote so crucial unless it is by design,” she continued. She won’t be an intern long.

Republican Government Run Health Care opponents have just had health care policy dictated to them by one their own from Maine. What the heck is the Republican leadership doing? 90% of registered Republicans are against Government Run Health Care, how, then, could the Leadership have allowed the swing vote to against the wishes of the Party or it’s constituents. What is the Leadership doing with the money? They will never get a dime or an endorsement from this column again. The only possible scenario is voting against on a floor vote, claiming it has a public option, something she has already said she wouldn’t support. House leadership says they wont accept a Bill without it, so while it is not over yet; they are going to ram it through anyway. We have just seen it leave a Senate committee, on a Republican vote. Are we the only ones to see the irony in this? The only ones to see how those in power are laughing at us? 50% of the people just got screwed with their own money, and will lose their current insurance, while Olympia Snowe remains a Senator with a car, driver and her OWN health plan, and 50% of the people think that’s just fine and dandy.

Rush Never Said That…

Dont Even Think About It

…but they knew that. Al Sharpton, James Carville, and Sanchez, they all know this, but have been repeating anyway. State Run Media howls when someone does this to them, but when it happens to Rush, who cares? We here at Artorius are especially upset because we are not yet mainstream media, and are held to a much higher standard. For example, quoting and sourcing. People like Matthews and Carville should know better. Rush Limbaugh NEVER said what he is being accused of, and real news outlets know that, but MSNBC is all over it.

The rumor states that Limbaugh stated “slavery had it’s merits” in 1998. Of course, he didn’t, but it hasn’t stopped any number of pundits from repeating it. Now there is a bounty on the quote and lawsuits to follow. But these people don’t care about journalistic integrity. One “respected journalist” referred to his [Rush Limbaugh's] Wikipedia site, which actually claims it is the quote is unsubstantiated. This what the Left and Democrats think American people will respond to. Cat fighting from Chris Matthews and the race baiters, should be old by now, but is now playing a part in the NFL and it’s owners. Knock it, off.

The NFL Players association deal with the league is about to expire. This doesn’t have anything to do with it, does it? Find me one heavily recruited football player who won’t play in the NFL because Rush Limbaugh is a part owner of a team, and I will show you an honest, liberal, journalist.

Please, people, Rush Limbaugh? The NFL? We don’t have any thing more important to deal with? This family long ago realized that State Run media serves only one master, but way too many people still watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. If you think the Rush/NFL tempest in a teapot is more important than a European Missile Shield, than Chris Matthews might be the show for you. If you think this story is worth all the media coverage without checking the facts, go ahead and educate yourself with Wolf Blitzer. Huffington Post is there for those who think GWB caused Hurricane Katrina, and for those who think disliking Obama’s policies is racism, log off immediately; you aren’t smart enough to play on the internet..

“I’d Like to Thank the Academy…”

Dont Even Think About It

In an astounding and not a little confusing move, the Academy bestowed it’s highest honor on President Barack Obama.

Surprised attendees shuffled their feet as they tried to recall what cinematic accomplishments were achieved by the Chicago Community Organizer.

Smiles, and applause finally erupted when folks realized it was the stunning, breathtaking, and sensitive acting over the course of the Health Care Debate. White House spokescreature Gibbs, said, “It isn’t really surprising, President Obama has done more for Peace, er, acting, than any other President. Even that “Star Wars” guy, Reagan!”

When reached on his confoundingly unsecure Blackberry, the President, who took time out from attempting to get Putin to answer the phone for the sixth time this week, texted a pic of himself grinning to MSNBC. “This is most certainly a National Mandate for Health Care Reform, ” an ebullient Barack said.”By me winning this prestigious award, the country, indeed the World supports my agenda.”

Acceptance of the award will cost taxpayers close to 600 million dollars, but as famous actor and wise sage, Alec Baldwin pointed out, “it ain’t our money!” Secret Service advance teams are already fanning out over Southern California, as the President’s “Oscar Entourage” plans to make a long weekend out of it. Upwards of 100 donors, friends sycophants, and hangers on, will be flying out in two Air Force airliners and staying a in a number of Marriotts in around Los Angeles.

President Obama has invited gifted luminary and oracle, Albert Gore Jr as well, and the two will give a major policy speech on Global Warm, er, Climate Change, while the USSS’s black suburbans idle in the valley smog, waiting to whisk the entourage to one of the waiting Boeings. The Tuesday return is a necessary adjustment to the White House schedule, as the First family, along with several dozen in-laws and donors, will be flying to Berlin for the historical awarding of the Max Planck Award for Astrophysics to President Obama.

GOP takes Aim, Shoots Foot..Again

Dont Even Think About It

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the GOP went with supposed “electability” in backing Dede Scozzafava in New York’s 23rd congressional election. In today’s American Spectator , there is a story about angst behind closed Republican doors.

Scozzafava, backed by ACORN, and a liberal, is where the GOP’s National Republican Congressional Committee is throwing their money and resources, and not on Doug Hoffman, who is a conservative Republican. While the Committee chair, Pete Sessions, defended the move as being basically “electability”, folks can’t help but think back to the GOP’s backing of Specter over the real conservative in Pennsylvania’s Senate race during the Bush Administration. We all know how well that turned out.

Hoffman who has the backing of some conservative heavy hitters, can definitely win this special election, which is why is he still running against Scozzafava, as a New York Constitution Party candidate. Now the GOP, in order not to lose face, has to back a liberal ACORN supporter over a true conservative.

But why worry about “electability” in the 23rd? I thought the reason Hillary! won her Senate seat was because people outside the City saw her as a “centrist” and felt she could hold her own in conservative New York districts, because of her “inherent centrism”. Which of course is poppycock, the city carried her, no matter how many hot dogs she had to eat in rural counties to show how “in touch” she was. The point is, if we are to agree the districts outside of the city are “conservative” (they must be; State Run Media says so), then why put up a flaming RINO in place of the true conservative?

Who knows, but the GOP is calling themselves the Big Tent party now, that should be a clue. Conservatism needs a small tent, not a big one. Meaning we don’t endorse pro-choice candidates because they are “electable”. That means when their constituents say “No, I’m against this”, they vote against it. (You listening Lindsay? Maine Girls?) Meaning, when we call for no compromise, we mean it; don’t change your position because the NYT is implying that you are racist. (They do that to every conservative). It is your constituents who sent you there, not special interests. Do not assume we will forget caving to to the opposition, and I can’t speak for everyone, but this column will remember every single congresscritter who votes for Cap and Trade or the current Health Care plans. At least those with “R”s after their names.

So, as not to “offend” New York’s voters by putting up a Rino, the GOP loses another chance to undo the undoing of America.

Naszej Polski lojalny i honorowy Przyjaciele

Dont Even Think About It

Istnieją w Ameryce, którzy są zakłopotani decyzji prezydenta Obamy zrezygnować z Missile Defense Shield Program. Uważamy, że polski krwawych ofiar w Iraku i Afganistanie powinny być nagradzane przez uczciwego traktowania z Ameryki. Przykro nam, tak nie jest.

Uważamy również, że nic się nie zmieniło w pragnienie Rosji Polska, i uważają, że rosyjskiej agresji jest zagrożenie Polska. Jeśli Putin udostępniania technologii rakietowych w Iranie, możliwe jest irański Mad Man’s rakiet może osiągnąć Europy Wschodniej. Dlaczego więc, by prezydent Obama opuszcza naszych polskich przyjaciół w ten sposób? Nie wiemy, ale bardzo nam przykro i mamy nadzieję, że mają swoją dupę w ciągu czterech lat.

Millions for Tribute

Dont Even Think About It

The news today that the House twice refused to remove Representative Rangel from his powerful Ways and Means chair, shouldn’t have surprised me, but it still did. What didn’t surprise me was that I couldn’t find it anywhere but here .

Representative Charlie Rangel, (D) NY, a careerist in the House, has somehow amassed enough of a fortune from his taxpayer paid job to “overlook” paying over a million dollars on vacation properties he acquired while serving his New York City congressional district. As one of the age old mantras of the Democratic Party is “due to the seriousness of the charge, (insert media targeted Republican here) should step aside..” we feel it should be applied to Charlie “Oooops, I just forgot” Rangel . This has always been a successful gambit for them, just ask Trent Lott.

Charlie rangel (D) NY-Tax evader

But Trent didn’t steal millions of tax payer dollars either. Steal? Oh yes, depriving the US Treasury of it’s due tribute is a Federal Offense. And the full weight of the government can be brought to bear when Uncle Sam wants to collect. 1.3 million dollars that Charlie “forgot” to claim, and as Nancy, “Drain the swamp” Pelosi has just signaled, will go unpunished.

Nancy Pelosi: “Do you think at this critical juncture Congresscritters accused of federal crimes should step down? No, he just forgot and promises not to it again. Plus, most of the attacks are borne of racism and hatred. Now we need to let the healing begin..”

Just watch, that is exactly what will happen. Refer to this blog for “told you so’s”.

Why am I so sure? Gerry Studds (D) had sex with an underage girl and received a standing ovation on the House floor from fellow Democrats. Dan Rostenkowski abused his trust and position as Ways and Means chair (Rangel’s current Committee Chair) and went to prison. Geithner forgot to pay his taxes, too, and he is our Treasury Secretary. (And nobody sees anything wrong with that, either). Neither Espy or Cisneros saw a Federal Prison, but Randy Cunningham did.

In this age where the Government is giving taxpayer money to people already receiving taxpayer money(story here) , allowing the corruption of elected officials to unchecked is so typical of the Democrats. “1.3 million is a lot of jack, Charlie, that money could have been used to create jobs on upgrading Saint Louis’s river terminal. Say, just where did you get the bread for all that property anyway, Congressman?” These are the questions the Ethics committee should be asking, but apparently they aren’t. But do you think an Ethics Committee in a congress run by Nancy Pelosi is going to be ethical? Well, this might be a pretty good indicator of how she feels about corruption; swap draining only applies to Republicans.

How To Use Make-Up For Men (Beauty & Style: Make-Up For Men)

How To Use Make-Up For Men (Beauty & Style: Make-Up For Men)

Be it far from us to attempt to take anyone’s happiness away from them, but this is just wrong. Certainly there are grooming habits that must be adhered to as a Man, but eyeshadow, foundation, or blush should not be in their repertoire. In fact, one of our staffers just wondered allowed if the only suitable “makeup” for a Man is face paint that is applied before going out to blow sh*t up clandestinely. Alas, as this video demonstrates, that is not the case.

How many times has the Real Man cringed as they approached the cosmetic counter while cutting through Macy’s to get to the Mall? In this day and age, the lab coated professional Beauty Advisers are probably trained to go after the male with equal vigor. Hand cream, a man purse, and buffed nails ID the “Man” to lab coat, but what about the rest of us?

This author will never be ID’d as one who accepts beauty tips. Nor will this blog advise it’s readers on beauty aids. For that we can steer you towards George Stephanopolos or Shep Smith, two “Men” who are dying to get out their repressive male bodies. This blog will, upon request, provide answers or direction to “Manly” things such as the building of hydro electric dams, wiping out a species of minnow to make way for a NASCAR track, or opening a Beef Pit across the street from PETA headquarters, but if you want to know what shirt to wear with your “Men’s” (WTF?) designer jeans, you will be out of luck. Perhaps, however, Perez Hilton can help you..

Did anti-American resentments play role in vote?

Did anti-American resentments play role in vote? :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago 2016

Here it comes, folks. Blame Bush for not getting the Chicago Olympics.

Once again, the Administration has found someone else to blame for it’s failures. But it is rather grandiose of the Administration to even think they had a horse in this race. The IOC knows who the 2016 winner is just like they know who the 2020 city will be. These are foregone conclusions that allow IOC executives to jet set and conventioneer on someone else’s dime. Kind of like the UN.

Can we get back to unemployment now?
