Forkless Friday at Obama event

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. –Does a fork or dinner knife pose an unacceptable danger to President Barack Obama?

One wouldn’t think so, given the hundreds of lunches and dinners he’s attended ranging from state dinners to political fundraisers to run-of-the-mill stops on the rubber-chicken circuit.

However, at one such lunch Friday afternoon, guests heard an unusual announcement that they needed to hand over their silverware for security reasons.

“It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials board member Raquel Regalado told about 1000 delegates at the group’s annual conference.

Regalado hurried the diners to finish up their salads and pre-cut chicken breasts, saying that the Secret Service required that there be no knives at the tables and that the forks be rounded up before Obama entered the room.

“As you know, we’re having another speaker and there is some Secret Service involved. So there’s a reason why there’s no knives at your table and the forks will be collected. … And I’m not joking,” Regalado told the audience in a ballroom at Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. “So, like the good Hispanic mother I’m here to tell you to please, eat your lunch.”

Sheesh. They saved you from plunging forks into your eyeballs ~ or temples, for God’s sake ~ as well! What’s not to love?

And…why is the POTUS trying to take dining utensils away from Hispanic voters anyway? I thought he needed those guys.

There’s a reason they call it the “dismal” science.

Braise The Lard And Pass The Burgers

If you are thin you are selfishly prolonging Dear Gaia’s agony. That is the inescapable conclusion that any rationally intelligent person will draw from this cutting-boardedge research out of that culinary Mecca that is London

ATHENS, Ga. (CBS Atlanta) – A recent study conducted by scientists in London found that the obese persons of the world are playing an increasingly large role in the rate at which the planet’s finite resources are used.

“Increasing population fatness could have the same implications for world food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth,” the study concluded.

…Research was conducted based on the theory that the body mass of a population should be factored into the amount of energy it burns, in addition to the number of people residing in a certain region.

Though obesity touches all corners of the Earth, it was found that Americans were especially weighing down the planet.

Scientists, obsessed with social control issues, achingly long for ecological DOOM so they can feel relevant outside of their laboratories. In the 1960s, when there were 3 billion or so of us ants, they predicted DOOM. In the 70s, when there were 4 billion of us we were inundated not by the New Ice Age and mass starvations they predicted but rather by the endless stream of Population Bomb articles talking about how we had too many people on Earth Beloved Gaia and that as Men Of Science they could confidently declare that there was NO WAY Gaia’s delicate EcoSystem could sustain those 4 billion through the coming Winter and we would thus starve (unless we invested in SolyndraSoylent Green LLC).

35 years later, we now have 7 billion people.

7 billion fat people who are living longer and healthier than at any time in history.

To celebrate this wondrous Gaia Gorging I’m going to have dinner at The Palm next week. I invite all of you to plan some gluttony of your own.

Do it for the children.

Afghan “Police” Slaughtered Another American Soldier…On Monday

You didn’t hear about it, did you? I heard this breaking on CNN in the airport in Atlanta while waiting on a flight back to Pensacola. Described it to major dad while watching the Situation Room and thought it would be on World News Tonight…in the paper the next day…something?

Do you know when it made our fishwrap? Today. Thursday. BURIED in one of the last paragraphs as an “oh, by the way” addendum to a story on a blast that killed 21.

…On Monday, three gunmen dressed in Afghan police uniforms killed one American service member and wounded nine others in Kandahar’s Zhari district. Nearly 1,900 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the war began more than a decade ago.

Well, twentyone mostly Afghan dead trumps one poor AMERICAN kid getting killed (and NINE OF HIS FRIENDS WOUNDED) by “allies”, right?

It’s almost like they want to bury these embarrassing incidents the second they happen. How can President Bowrack continue to kiss Karzai’s ass if his nasty little uniformed folks keep killing our kids and we get pissed about it?

Get us out of there. But until we do, do not trust a single one of those misogynist goatherders.

And not a dime nor apology for another hut hit by a missle. I have yet to hear Mr. Rainbow Robe say “I’m sorry” for any of his murderous thugs or offer the family condolences.

“Four-Week Jobless Claims Average Reaches 2012 High”

Bet Obama wishes he could claim “Executive Privilege Magic Wand Power” and make that go away, too.

…Initial claims for state unemployment benefits slipped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 387,000, the Labor Department said. The prior week’s figure was revised up to 389,000 from the previously reported 386,000.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims falling to 380,000 last week. The four-week moving average for new claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends, increased 3,500 to 386,250 — the highest level since early December.

And what is this “revised UP” they’re always, ALWAYS talking about?

Frauds.

Catholics Are Using the “Power of the Pulpit” to Educate the Flock This Fortnight

Catholics observe fortnight for religious freedom
Mass tonight opens series of observances

Film, prayer and seminars.

Catholics will use those tools in an effort to stop what they say is an affront on religious freedom.

Fortnight for Freedom, a 14-day observance aimed at educating Catholics about religious liberty, opens with a Mass on Thursday at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.

The Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops has urged all local parishioners to take part in the events, an initiative of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

President Palpatine should be very worried about that group experiencing an “awakening” of epic proportion. Our diocese, besides the Mass tonight at Pensacola’s Sacred Heart Cathedral, is using the underhanded trick of showing a movie. Although it DOES star the diocesan patron saint, the parallels sans costumes had me snickering at the chutzpah of our young, newly installed Bishop Gregory Parkes. I like the cut of his jib.

The movie? Oh, yeah:

Actually, Michelle Obama is the one in robes, but no matter.

Obama Exerts “Executive Privilege” For F&F Docs

So, to do this doesn’t that mean that he did in fact know about this earlier than he has indicated?

Otherwise how does a DOJ operation fall under this?

Oh, and the House should immediately vote to de-fund the DOJ’s budget.

UPDATE: God bless Drudge

The Way Back Machine is a bitch, ain’t it?

UPDATE: Great minds think alike

““The assertion of executive privilege raises monumental questions,” Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said in a statement released Wednesday shortly after the president’s move. “How can the President assert executive privilege if there was no White House involvement? How can the President exert executive privilege over documents he’s supposedly never seen? Is something very big being hidden to go to this extreme? The contempt citation is an important procedural mechanism in our system of checks and balances. The questions from Congress go to determining what happened in a disastrous government program for accountability and so that it’s never repeated again.”

Quote Of The Day

“Europeans like bad ideas that sound nice”

“The British Turned Me Into A Newt!!”

But, er, um, I got better…

A new biography of Barack Obama has established that his grandfather was not, as is related in the President’s own memoir, detained by the British in Kenya and found that claims that he was tortured were a fabrication.

…In a 2008 interview, Sarah Obama claimed that he was ‘whipped every morning and evening’ by the British. ‘They would sometimes squeeze his testicles with metal rods. They also pierced his nails and buttocks with a sharp pin, with his hands and legs tied together. He was lucky to survive. Some of his fellow inmates were mutilated with castration pliers and beaten to death with clubs.’

But Maraniss, who researched Obama’s life in Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii and the mainland United States, found that there were ‘no remaining records of any detention, imprisonment, or trial of Hussein Onyango Obama’. He interviewed five people who knew Obama’s grandfather, who died in 1979, who ‘doubted the story or were certain it did not happen’.

…Maraniss also casts a sceptical eye on Obama’s grandmother’s tales of racism in Kansas, doubting whether she was ever chastised for addressing a black janitor as ‘Mister’ or ridiculed for playing with a black girl.

Obama himself, Maraniss finds, deliberately distorted elements of his own life to fit into a racial narrative. The author writes that Obama presents himself in his memoir as ‘blacker and more disaffected’ than he really was.

Shocked and stunned I am.

There is no “there” there with this guy.

We are hosed.

Oh Be-Have!

Sometimes it takes a while for reality to catch up with Holly “Wood”

A new report by federal auditors says a Kansas-based company may have paid out as much as $4.2 million in potentially fraudulent Medicare claims for penis pumps, and the auditors are asking the company to refund the government the money.

All that signage for Broadway’s “Book of Mormon” got me smirking a smidge about a bumper sticker I’d snapped Saturday morning in Bingley’s hallowed COSTCO (YES, I FINALLY GOT TO GO TO COSTCO, HIS NIRVANA!!!) parking lot.

I’m sure this will depress all of you greatly but I must inform you that posts will be somewhat fewer over the next few days.

Daughter is graduating (looking forward to her full-ride at San Quentin State) and THS (and Ave and the odd grandfather or two (emphasis on the odd, btw)) are all currently inbound, so…enjoy life and the peace and quiet, Dear Readers.
