I look testily on the Independent Party of Oregon

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Hardly surprising, the “American Independence Party” is, in the state of California, the third largest political party in terms of voters’ membership.  It has more voters on the registrar than the Libertarian Party or the Green Party — and note there that the Green Party was early on irking the Democratic Party ticket of Clinton / Gore in 1996, four years before 2000.
The political party is a product of the 1968 George Wallace campaign, and has bumped off to some splintering and fusion with the Constitution Party — most notable platform item of which is the idea that “Abortionists” should be put to death, or perhaps most notable at the moment for being the old stomping grounds of Nevada’s current Republican Senate candidate.  I can say with utmost confidence that the “American Independence Party”‘s status as the third largest political party in California in voter registration is the product of an inflation from Unaffiliateds, or “Independents”.

But at least it’s a political party with a core set of principles and constituency.

The Independence Party of New York is an interesting contraption.  It’s become a vaguely defined but valuable ballot spot for Fusion Voting purposes.  It is a little difficult to ascertain the current state of affairs — and whenever I deign to look over and read the press copy of party infighting I see contradictions, but the party has been dominated, controlled, or infiltrated by a cadre of dedicated post-Marxist politico sex-therapy (“Friendosex”) cult members.  It is such a state that Ross Perot, Michael Bloomberg, Ralph Nader, and Pat Buchanan have all had to kiss the ring of this Politico Sex Therapy Cult.
Interestingly enough, Pat Buchanan’s marriage fell apart as the Buchananites and the “Natural Law Party” Transcendental Meditators duked it out on who would infiltrate the party for the crass ballot access and federal funds Ross Perot had earned in 1996.

I guess things are more respectable in Minnesota, their party coming off as an outgrowth of the sucessful gubernatorial campaign of Jesse Ventura.  At the very least, Dean Barkley garnered a respectable 20 percent against Franken and Coleman and Lizard People, and is a sane man.  I think I can take a stab on what the Independence Party of Minnesota stands for.

Regarding Oregon’s Independent Party…

C’MON!
Of the three models discussed, I imagine the Minnesota Party is the most likely model to aspire to.
Okay, leaving aside the question of how nature abhors a vacuum, and the party having plenty of vacuums — a large voting pool of people who don’t know they’re members and are thus uninvolved in party politics, and a valuable asset that gives candidates “Independent” credo –  such that I wonder what safeguards are in place to keep it from being taken over by post-Marxist politico sex cults…

Okay, that’s not a fair question.

Okay.  The best light I can give them is that the voter registration inflation that comes from its inflated number of Unaffiliateds is a feature, and not a bug.  In a world where Green Party candidates are just as often as not propped up as Republican Party tricks, and where the Democratic Party gets into that act this season with various “Tea Party” affiliates — which harms the integrity of these candidacies, an easy ballot line should be grabbed.  The Independent Party is an amorphous blob of a ballot spot, readily available to someone who can amass a following — whether a Ralph Nader or an Alan Keyes or a Dean Barkley — and evade some restrictive ballot laws and the nature of party politicing in “3rd Party Spoildom”.  In the meantime, the party has to justify its existence.

A legislative agenda of clean government, you say?  Good.  A Bi-partisan political action committee would serve just as well.

They’re going to get John Kitzhaber on the ballot.  Which is a little odd, considering that John Kitzhaber is already on the ballot, which means that the original founding purpose of this party is either void or a ballot line in waiting.

I’ll be sure to put up a blog post on the accuracy or inaccuracy of my prediction that John Kitzhaber will win the Independent Party nomination, and the startling repurcussions and meaning of such a thing.  Sal Peralta justifies himself over here.

be it resolved

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I am pretty indifferent to the NAACP and its decision to pass a resolution condemning Racist Elements in the Tea-Party.  It does not strike me as a particularly interesting story, noteworthy in any direction — it is fodder that eludes any worthwhile discussion from any direction.  Indeed, I wouldn’t think of mentioning it, except to lump it alongside three other race-related (of sorts) stories.

At least the resolution has some logic and meaning to it.  Where the NAACP embarrasses themselves, or at least a particular chapter of the NAACP, is with this:

South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene, the man who won his party’s Senate primary last month despite not running a campaign, is set to make his first official campaign speech Sunday. 
Greene will address the Manning chapter of the NAACP.  […]
“He accomplished what many thought that was impossible,” Fleming told WFAE Radio reporter Julie Rose. “He was willing to step out and make the commitment and I admire anyone for making such a sacrifice because he wants to make South Carolina a better place.” 
“The word in the barbershop, the word on the street, the word in the church parking lots is that everyone is pulling for him,” Fleming said.
Greene is expected to have about 20 minutes to speak Sunday afternoon. Fleming said the group is looking for a larger venue to host the event given the interest Greene’s appearance is generating.
  

WHY?  They didn’t hear of him before the election.  WEB Du Bois is rolling in his grave.

Perahps more flame to the fires.  So, the big stink in conservative media right now involves the clownish buffoons of the “New Black Panther Party” and that Election Day video of them buffooning it up on Election Day 2008.  I weep, I cry, I roll my eyes.  Actually, I roll the dial past Sean Hannity yesterday and hear two words “Black Panthers”, and pause for a milisecond.  It has something to do with the Democrats in Washington protecting the “New” Black Panthers.
I suppose this is more lax than I would want it to be:  While the prosecutors dismissed charges against the organization, its leader and the third member, they won an order barring Shabazz from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of any open polling location in Philadelphia on any Election Day through 2012. — I preferring them not to be allowed to display a weapon within 100 feet of any open polling location from here to perpetuity…

paging a brief from the NRA for that purpose, I suppose.

In other news — David Vitter in Louisiana

Republican Sen. David Vitter told a group of supporters last week he is in favor of groups who may want to take President Obama to court over the belief he is not an American citizen.

“I personally don’t have standing to bring litigation to court,” he said at a recent town hall meeting in Metairie, Lousiana, which was caught on video. “But I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court.”

And now I suddenly have more sympathy for the NAACP’s resolution.  But the other item that’s swirling about today…

michelleobamaincreaseintensity

Blegh.  Drudge.  At least she has good reason to speak before the NAACP.

World Cup Highlights: the North Korean team.

Monday, July 12th, 2010

kimjongilsoccerteam

Surely, this is a more appropriate image for the North Korean World Cup team?  But that looks a little too normal — a just celebration for an accomplishment in their Athletic Endevor, never mind the backstory for the nation they’re representing.

An overall focus on the team’s relationship with the country.

Seemingly randomly selected soccer matches from overseas leagues are shown every weekend on the Mansudae cultural channel (only broadcast at weekends). Average North Koreans don’t get much of a chance to see high level men’s football featuring their own national team as, quite frankly, the men’s team has been pretty terrible for years. […]
Professional footballers in North Korea don’t enjoy the same rock star level of fame as they do in England and elsewhere, but then neither do North Korean rock stars! The average person would struggle to name more than one or two of the team, and they enjoy relative anonymity on the street.
Their private lives remain outside of the public eye as well, with no news of their WAGS, any naughty off-field antics, or even reports of any rampant conspicuous consumption.
Football is never televised live in the DPRK. Games are generally shown one or two days later at prime time on the state TV channel. Thus far in this world cup highlights packages of all the games – except the South Korea v Greece match – have been shown on the state TV channel.

It was enough to cause a controversy about just who the North Korean contigency of fans in South Africa really were. 

Fifa officials and millions of television viewers were surprised when rows of red-clad “North Koreans” took their seats, believing the harsh regime had allowed its citizens freedom to travel.
But one fan, Kim Yong Chon, 43, who said he was North Korean, told reporters his group of 300 had been carefully chosen by the North Korean government.
Although they sang their national anthem loudly, the group tended only to cheer when directed by a man who stood before them like an orchestra’s conductor.
Meanwhile, another party of fans confirmed rumours they were Chinese, having obtained tickets through a Chinese sports PR agency, authorised to sell part of the North Korean allocation of 1,400 seats.
Dubbed the “fans volunteer army”, they included dancers, musicians and other artists and said they were happy to don the North Korean national colours.
One Brazilian fan said: “I spoke with them. They had come from Beijing and knew nothing about football or the World Cup. They said they were supporting their Communist cousins and were happy to be there.”

Meanwhile, in North Korea, somehow or other this fell by the wayside.

The Supreme Leader has ordered state-run television not to broadcast live games, and to only screen highlights of North Korea’s victories.
The ruling means that 99 per cent of the country’s 29 million population will not be able to find out who wins the competition unless the 350-1, outsiders win it.
Games between other nations will be banned from the airwaves, while any highlights of North Korea’s matches will be heavily edited to ensure that they look like the better team.

Under the principals of juche.  Apparently all hyped up over a decent peformance against Brazil, they relented and broadcast — live — the following game against Portugal.  What was the Totalitarian regime of North Korea thinking?  Here’s the game they ended up broadcasting on live national television.

On a rain-soaked afternoon on South Africa’s Western Cape, Portugal ended its goal drought in spectacular style, sweeping to a 7-0 win over North Korea — the highest score of the tournament so far — and grabbing a commanding position to qualify out of Group G.

The victory, which was even more one-sided than the scoreline suggests, means that barring the heaviest of defeats against Brazil on Friday and a big Ivory Coast win over North Korea, Portugal is almost certain to join Brazil in the knockout round.

“It was a great day for Portuguese football,” said Carlos Queiroz, the Portuguese coach. “The players played in a wonderful way, with a great attitude and we scored some beautiful goals. Now we have to be more ambitious for the next phase.”

The message that Kim Jong Il had meant to relay:

“We will achieve a good success in this World Cup, therefore giving pleasure to our great General (Kim Jong Il) and proving ourselves worthy of the expectations of the Korean people,” the coach told APTN as the team departed Pyongyang last month to the cheers and applause of well-wishers.

was hampered, quick thinking on the broadcasters’ part:

As the 7-0 loss to Portugal concluded, the North Koreans quickly halted Monday’s coverage. ‘The Portuguese won the game and now have four points,’ the Korean Central Broadcasting commentator said. ‘We are ending our live broadcast now.’
It then cut to factory workers and engineers praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.”

After that, there was nary a mention in the state media.  Though, this is a good positive spin.

And so it goes

In a sport where fans follow their favorite players’ every move, the North Koreans’ names are so unfamiliar that almost no one noticed that coach Kim listed a top striker as a goalkeeper when he submitted his final World Cup squad.

I have to wonder if maybe a conspiracy abounded that resulted in the epic loss.

Kim Myong-won, Kim Kyong-il, An Choi-hyok and Pak Sung-hyok tried to defect before their opening group game against Brazil, but the players mysteriously turned up for training Friday much to the surprise of the World Cup Journalists.

The four players had been marked absent on the team sheet for the Brazil encounter, but a spokesman for the team said they thought they were only allowed to name 18 players in the squad just like their last tournament the AFC Challenge Cup. But I can’t see this as the end of this story.

Manager Kim Jong-hun denies the players tried to defect and the manager recently snapped at a South Korean journalist who accidentally referred to them as North Korea. Kim snapped “There’s no such country called North Korea”. Showing the touchiness of the North Korean coach.

Quick.  Replacement players!

In the end, with underpinnings of menace that we can shove aside, it made for a good curiosity in South Africa.  I should only want a hopeful answer to such a question as this, and leave it at that.

faux Socialism.

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Is that right?  55 percent of the likely voters in 2010 have no idea what it is Socialism?  Or, correction– and  more to the point, 55 percent of “likely voters” think Obama is a socialist.

Even Ron Paul doesn’t fall for that line.  Then again, Ron Paul is… Ron Paul, and not every other Republican.
Mental note: I’ve been meaning to listen to the various talk radio hosts to guess the size of each hosts’ spit glass.

Maybe there’s nothing all that new here.  Let me at it for a minute, and I will show references to every president being called “Socialist” post McKinley up to Harding, and post Calvin Coolidge.  (Note that would be Representative Barber, in his ad with various Founding Fathers — railed against… the Progressive Income Tax!)  Meantime, our Socialists aren’t even really Socialists. 

To be sure, here’s the first four images that get tracked when you google Obama and Socialism.

socialismshooting1

Strangely, I have to go to the next row to get to the Heath Ledger image that got the “Socialism” tag affixed to it.

But wait.  That last one is a little bit weird, isn’t it?  Is there any way to comment on it other than to say “um.  erm.  huh.”

Lincoln abounds in today’s imaginings.  Just ask Oliver North.

And, just to make sure I got the point, he added: “Yesterday we took our kids to Charleston. We went to the Citadel and out to the point where they fired on Fort Sumter in 1861. I’m a ‘Damned Yankee.’ I believe slavery was evil. But the way our government is acting today, I think I understand why the South seceded.”

That’s strong stuff from an educated man who took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” and served our country in uniform. The April 12-13, 1861 bombardment of Fort Sumter he referred to began the bloodiest confrontation in American history. Academics still debate whether Presidents James Buchanan and his successor, Abraham Lincoln, could have prevented the cataclysm over states rights. Sadly, the Obama administration, by ineptness or design seems intent on enflaming similar disputes through repeated assertions of federal “authority.”

This is a different historical conversation than Rick Barber is having with Abraham Lincoln.

defiantlincoln

Now that’s more like the Obama – Lincoln Chains Cartoon!

I need a roll call on where does everyone stand on the 13th and 14th Amendments.

… and… Abraham Lincoln was… what?

In the Siena survey, Lincoln is No. 3. He leads all presidents in ability to compromise, executive appointments, executive ability and domestic accomplishments — i.e., preserving the Union.

But not even Lincoln is safe from the new revisionism. The Texas Board of Education revised school curriculums to soften slavery as a cause of the Civil War. At the CPAC conference last February, one Thomas DiLorenzo led a seminar on the war’s origins. He is author of “The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda and an Unnecessary War.”

The “real” Lincoln, as seen by DiLorenzo, was committed to mercantilism — or socialism as it is interpreted — as well as to “contralized government and the pursuit of empire.”

Gad, I hate the Texas Board of Education.  But at least they’re not much into reframing Lincoln to slide neatly and squarely into your own ideology — hm?

It could be worse.  I’ve seen worse debates.

He Said / She Said; weird Taiwanese Media outlet recreates

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

I suppose you may have seen the Taiwanese CGI re-creation of the alleged Al Gore sexual assault against his massauge in Portland, Oregon.

If not, here it is.

God, aren’t we glad this wasn’t around during the Clinton Impeachment.  Or, maybe you are not glad — I don’t know.  You probably have some sim characters lying around that you can refashion some of those scenes yourownself.

I will note the “Happy Ending Massage [Uncut Version]” which pops up on the sidebar, and after the thing finishes.  I trust it’s not the same “Next Media” outlet, but a more shifty oufit — otherwise, this media outlet is flushing its reputation down the toilet.  But they may have already done so — I don’t know what this story is based upon — but then, I don’t follow Justin Bieber’s career so I don’t know the rumors.  (Did he tour North Korea?)  If I can’t trust New Media’s CGI recreated news stories, who can I trust?

No, I do not like this Lebron James fellow.

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Okay.  In case you are curious to know what I think about Lebron James.

I hate the guy.  I hate him for holding an hour long presentation on ESPN, hyped up beyond all parody, entitled “The Decision”, a presentation wholly and fully about Lebron James and his “decision” after courting various NBA sports teams.  I could care less on the idea of him changing teams, I have no amicus for what is, in the end, a pretty standard happen-stance: joining other teams in Free Agency.
For the love of gawd, just sign and be done with it.

The thing is surreal.  Is this right?  Upon his declaration that he was going to the Miami Heat, ESPN jumped over to a Miami gathering where an audience cheered jubilantly, and then to a Cleveland gathering full of the bitter fans that just went from loving him to hating him?  I can not come up with a proper comparison for that one.  THAT was the moment that we were all waiting for.

The great quote of the day is from random fan shouting “Lebron James is dead to me!”  The Cavaliers owners, who — incidentally threatened to take the team down to Oklahoma City some years back — is revving that sentiment up in Comic Sans.  I will say this: Lebron James is, indeed, dead to me — I will not be spending all that much time thinking about him.  The NBA is fixed, ain’t it? I do not believe that is the case with the man shouting “Lebron James is dead to me” — who has new and worse Laundry to root for.

Bill Lauten, Igor Panarin, Kesha Rogers, and Rachel Brown. Oh My!

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Hm.  In all my haste to figure out how many votes Summer Shield received in the June primary, I missed this candidate.

billlautenwithobamahitlerposter Yes, it’s Bill Lauten, receiving a full one hundred percent of the primary vote in the race to decide the American Independence Party candidate for State Treasurer of California.  As you see from previous runs for office, he can not be bought.

A history of the American Independent Party is instructive.  From a launching pad for the presidential bid of George Wallace in 1968, the party has since bumped up into the “Constitution Party” — a sort of Christian Reconstructionist political party — and is today splintered into two.    It’s the fate of third parties sometimes, more fun to be had in the comments section.  I do believe that the word “Independent” should be outlawed for use of any political party — loaded as it is, and there’s a pattern (seen in Oregon recently) of an “Independent Party” launching and immediately taking its place as third political party — for use with potential Fusion law corruption.

So, as per Bill Lauten:
Here’s 4 examples of LaRouche credibility.

I will be sure to follow the campaign of Bill Lauten on into November’s destiny with — what did he get last time?  5 percent of the vote?  He’ll fall short of that.

(4) LaRouche PAC bring the Glass-Steagall resolution to city councils.HINT: Is Beth Krom still on the Irvine City Council? If not will she sign anyway?

Sure, why not?  A curious thing to note about the recent LPAC article “LaRouche Announces the Role He’ll Play In a Post-Obama Administration” — looking ahead, I suppose for the year 2013 or 2017 when — assuming he’s still alive — he’ll play the same role he’s been playing for the past forty years — the articles listed — a lot of disgruntled Huffington Post articles — would do well to be linked to so that I can see them for myself.  I am a bit curious to note this dangling bit, though:

“Prison Planet” asks, “Do you feel independent knowing that Congress has tried to stop Glass-Steagall?” Similarly commentator Bob Moriarty.

It is worth noting that “Prison Planet” did not ask that question, but this guy.  Still, they picked this piece up from Prison Planet.  That’s worth something.  I don’t know about the next dangling sentence fragment — a lack of proof-reading, I suppose.  Anyway, FANTATIC:

A new spirit abroad, namely a qualitatively new phase in the complex, self-changing mind of the mass-strike process, could be seen in the reports from Kesha’s campaign on July 4, when among many other developments, her “impeachment” float was given the trophy for “best individual float” in the Stafford, Texas parade. “No coincidence,” Lyndon LaRouche said. Something similar was seen earlier at the Texas Democratic Convention, where 150 participants were convinced to sign the Glass-Steagall resolution even while complaining that they didn’t want to sign anything which bore LaRouche’s name. It is reported that such changes are shown in the new, live-camera interviews of field organizing.

I am very much interested in seeing the float, and the floats that the “Impeach Float” beat out.  I sought out a question for someone from the City of Stafford, Texas — am not holding my breath for a response.  I suppose, given that this is the most exciting moment of the Kesha Rogers Campaign so far — the cleanest show of some public approval since the March Nomination — they would do well to post the float, replete with Blue Ribbon or Golden Trophy, or whatever prize trinket the Float received.
Mother Jones dropped the ball in failing to report on the Float victory.

But in late June, that didn’t stop Rogers from showing up with a posse of her supporters at the state party’s annual convention in Corpus Christi, where they handed out leaflets and periodically broke into song—Mozart’s “Ave Verum Corpus,” to be precise, to emphasize the LaRouche movement’s belief in a classical Western education. “People were very moved by this,” Rogers says. “They want leadership, they want beauty.” Rogers adds that some delegates even contributed money to her campaign on the spot, though she couldn’t specify exactly how much she raked in at the event.

Outside the convention center, however, the scene was less than harmonious. About a dozen of Rogers’ supporters were ordered to move off the grounds, prohibited from wearing their campaign T-shirts or distributing campaign literature on the premises since they were not official delegates. They ended up moving their operation to the sidewalk a few blocks down the road. Matt Glazer, an Austin Democratic strategist who attended the convention, declined to take a flyer from one LaRouche supporter—and says he was verbally assailed as a result. “He screamed out, ‘You guys are just as bad as the Republicans—as the Nazis,'” says Glazer, who claims the man continued by “calling me everything from a fag to an asshole, to telling me I had mental disabilities.” […]

In 2003, she was elected to become a local Democratic precinct chair in Harris County, serving for two years before she made an ultimately unsuccessful bid for chair of the Texas Democratic Party in 2006. “She was a very good speaker—very articulate, very passionate,” says political consultant Harold Cook, former executive director of the Texas Democratic Party, recalling Rogers’ speech. “She didn’t mention in her speech a single wacky thing that she believes…If I didn’t know her, I might have voted for her, too.”

Tomorrow, at Coffess Oasis down in Texas, Kesha Rogers and Ian Overton will put on a presentation.  It will “develop a picture of the global economic breakdown crisis, and how the reinstatement of FDR’s 1933 Glass-Steagall banking law is essential if the USA is to regain control of its economy, and avoid a hyperinflationary collapse.”   I’ll instead defer to Igor Panarin.

On June 22, the 69th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, Prof. Igor Panarin escalated his current series of public attacks on the British Empire as the historical, “and contemporary,” adversary of Russia. “I find it necessary to repeat once again today,” said Panarin in an interview with KM.ru, “that the leaders of the British Empire should confess to having organized both World War I and World War II, and a public tribunal should be organized to determine who organized the First and Second Wars, and why.” He said that holding such a tribunal now would be justified because of the “holocaust of the Soviet people” which resulted.

Professor Panarin is the Dean of History at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry, best known for his forecast of the coming fragmentation of the United States. Few reports on his statements note, however, that Panarin attributes the anti-U.S. plan to a London-centered group of financiers.

Panarin told KM.ru, “June 22 is a tragic date in our history. But I think that the sudden attack on the USSR by Germany was arranged not only by fascist Germany, but also by the British Empire. That might seem to be a paradox, since those two countries were adversaries at that moment. But, it is only strange at first glance.” The professor then reviewed his argument that some Bolsheviks, such as Leon Trotsky, were “agents of British Intelligence” (as established in Panarin’s recent video briefing, which highlighted Trotsky’s relationship with British spies Robert Bruce Lockhart and Sidney Reilly), who had been suppressed by Stalin. Unable to achieve the control over the Soviet Union which it had sought, said Panarin, “the British Empire decided to prepare World War II, where fascist Germany would act as the strike force for an attack on the USSR. It has long been no secret that it was the British (the Bank of England, in particular) who financed the Nazi Party….”

I think in plasting this revisionist Soviet nostalgia of Igor Panarin, the Larouche org just wants to validate the theory of Cliff Kincaid, percolating about, that Larouche and Alex Jones are Russian agents.  See too that prison planet reference!  It makes as much sense as launching yourself at Glass Steagal and claiming it as your own.
Lyndon LaRouche summed it up: “That’s what I expected. I’ve been waiting for these things to show up, because I knew they would tend to have to show up. In what form, I wouldn’t know in advance, but I knew it would have to happen.”
Or, the strange spectacle of Republicans wondering where their nation went since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980?  Why does John Boehner refer to the “America they grew up in” – Tom Coburn contemplate loss of freedom from ”30 years ago” and Glenn Beck on the better times of 1979?

As I skip from Michael Moore’s to “Dude, Where’s My Country?” — 2003 — over to Jerry Doyle’s “Have You Seen My Country Lately?”, I recognize one major difference.  The “Left” throws a greater jab at contemporary popular culture than the “Right”.
Here I would encourage you to read the wikipedia synopsis of “Dude Where’s My Car?”  In part because there’s a good chance you didn’t see it, and it behooves you to know a little bit more than you did before about various trifling irrelevancies.

Impeachment History:

As the public tempest had swelled, some wanted Washington impeached.  Cartoons showed the President being marched to a guillotine.  Even in the President’s beloved Virginia, Revolutionary veterans raised glasses and cried “A Speedy Death to General Washington!”
With the national surge of anger toward Washington, some Americans complained that he was living luxuriously as George III.  Using old forgeries, several columnists insisted that Washington had been secretly bribed during the war by British agents.
Still others charged that the President stole military credit from soldiers who had bled and died.  “With what justice do you monopolize the glories of the American Revolution?”
Reeling from the blows, the 63 year old Washington wrote that the “infamous scribblers” were calling him “a common pickpocket” in “such exaggerated and indecent terms as could scarcely be applied for Nero.”

Okay.  Let’s finish by pointing to a big event in the Rachel Brown for Congress campaign, coming up in a month.

Come and participate in an evening of beauty, dignity, and joy in honor of the 200th birth year of Robert Schumann and the beautiful culture he fought to create. A concert of choral and solo works by Robert Schumann, W.A. Mozart, J.S. Bach, and other great, will be performed by campaign staff and guests. The Rachel Brown campaign is committed to reviving Classical humanist culture in a time where the Obama administration and lackeys such as Barney Frank, are degrading and killing off the population through savage budget cuts and fascist economic policies. Please bring your families and friends.

Bring your family and friends! as we battle the British Obama Frank stooges as they wipe off the population!  Weee.  Weeee.   Weeee.

Senate Campaign News that grabbed my attention

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Clint Didier is rocking Eastern Washington.  Clint Didier is endorsed by Sarah Palin.

Alvin Greene has proposed the way to save the Economy is by opening up the Alvin Greene Doll Industry.  Which seems to me just a stop gap to cover from the death of this industry.

Rand Paul is now tied in the polls with Jack Conway.

David Vitter’s aide… Comment in the comments section that gets to the heart of the matter: Who cares about the former aid. what about the hookers and the diapers?

Joe the Plumber backed candidate wants Obama’s Missouri votes to be deleted due to Birth Certificate concerns, is hoping for Sarah Palin’s endorsement.

Russ Feingold, throwing a wrench against temporary Senate appointments, looks for Right wing support.

New York Times insists race in Connecticut is a toss-up, even though there’s never been a poll that shows the Republican candidate within single points of the Democratic candidate, is apparently still hyping up their news “Scoop”.

NRA goes to bat for Harry Reid.  If he loses the race, the Majority Leader would probably be either Chuck Schumer or Dick Durbin.  The ease with which the US is relaxing gun laws will be hampered in.
