“Delta Smelt, What’s that (Dead) Flower You Have On…” By justinwashingtontheblogger “Could it be a Faded Rose from Days Gone By?” Lyrics (Polluted) by Justin Washington and Tribute to Tanya Tucker As the plaintiff song wafts in the air, so goes California’s golden dream — because of a small, silver fish resembling a minow with small, beady eyes (somewhat similiar in appearance to US Senate Leader Harry Reid). The EPA, as the teeth behind the Endangered Species Act, has turned off the water spigot to the agricultural Central Valley of California which has been likened to the “bread basket of...

Bosse enters race for GOP nod in New Hampshire’s satirical 00th district November 20, 2009 by Patrick Filed under News & Politics 2 Comments Republican activist and free market think-tanker Grant Bosse formally declared his candidacy today in New Hampshire’s 00th Congressional District after news that the Obama administration has attributed a majority of the state’s stimulus jobs to that non-existent district. Bosse is in New Hampshire has only two congressional districts, neither of which are numbered “00.” “Even a fake district needs real leadership,” said Bosse while appearing on WGIR’s Charlie Sherman show on Friday morning. “The people overseeing...

Red Neck Rampage. Darn, it makes me feel good to watch this video...!!!

MARION, Iowa (AP) - Police in Marion and postal authorities are investigating the case of a mail carrier who was allegedly found drunk inside a residence while on the job. Police said the postal worker, 46, was charged with public intoxication Nov. 3 after she was found sitting on the kitchen floor of 95-year-old woman's house, eating leftover noodles from her refrigerator. Police Lt. Steve Etzel said Tuesday that the woman apparently entered the home through an unlocked front door. He said she was in uniform and had mail and a mail-carrying bag with her.

Three interviews with a pee-wee football coach. Hilarious.

Lynne Stewart was sent to prison today. People throughout the United States and around the world recognize this as a great miscarriage of justice. Her indictment was an outrage. So too was her conviction. The fact that this seventy year old veteran civil rights attorney has been sent to prison is a crime itself. She is serving a 28 month sentence although the Court of Appeals has remanded her case back to the original trial court with the hope that her sentence will be lengthened. The Bush Justice Department had sought a 30 year sentence. “Lynne Stewart should be set...

A popular Iowa State Senator and and a former Iowa State University wrestling coach could pose significant challenges to Democrat Leonard Boswell's Third District Congressional seat.

Who is he into? As far as I know, himself.

Dozens of local area workers were left jobless yesterday as the doors closed on their workplace after more than nine years of frisky business. Devastated staff at the "I Hate Bush T-Shirt and Vendor Wear" factory wept as the moment they were dreading finally became a reality: the firm went into bankruptcy in result of sagging orders for their goods and slim prospects for a renewed demand in the future. "The management can say whatever they want, but I personally blame Bush," said Fred Fluger, a longtime employee, as he carried home a storage box filled with "I Hate Bush"...

(1) The final stop on the tour is Sandpoint, Idaho, where Palin was born. Almost every stop on the tour has some kind of meaning to Palin (including places the McCain campaign would not allow her and Todd to go during the 2008 race, as well as Phoenix, Arizona, which is McCain’s hometown and the place she was not allowed to deliver a concession speech on Election Night). Stopping off in the place you were born sure feels like a presidential campaign sort of move. It’s also interesting Palin’s hitting Salt Lake City (Mitt Romney’s town), Minneapolis (Tim Pawlenty’s town),...

Close inspection of the image "properties" of photos of Obama included in the whitehouse.gov website reveal the word "hero" in their file path names. "Right click" the above photo, scroll to properties, drag the popup window corner right and view the file path names.. The word "hero" is fundamental to the file path. (example of filename path: www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/imagecache/home_hero_rotator_main/hero_feature/hero_image/hero_greatwall_LJ-0160.jpg) Is this a bad case of EGO, or is the word "hero" some sort of file structure term I'm not aware of? Could it be possible Obama is the whitehouse.gov's webmaster? LOL

Sarah and Barack Emmett Tyrrell Thursday, November 19, 2009 WASHINGTON -- What would the mainstream media's response be if former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described China's economic growth to an audience of students in Shanghai as "an accomplishment unparalleled in human history"? That is what the most inexperienced president in modern American history said in Shanghai this week. I wonder whether any of the assembled journalists choked. President Barack Obama makes such unhinged pronouncements with the kind of frequency that if he were anyone else, he would be set down by the media as a booby. I take that back....

MOIRA, N.Y. -- A northern New York man is recovering after being attacked by a 10-point buck while he was loading firewood. Authorities said 56-year-old Gerald Dabiew was cut and bruised from head to toe by the buck outside his house in Moira, 200 miles north of Albany. Dabiew's house is surrounded by woods, so he didn't think twice when he saw the buck crossing the road -- until the animal charged and knocked him down. Dabiew -- who said he doesn't hunt -- wrapped his legs around the animal's neck and held onto its antlers as it battered him....

Teflon Tiger Why is nobody talking about Tiger Woods throwing his driver into the crowd at the Aussie Masters? Maybe his people made a request.By Mike Walker, Senior Editor, GOLF Magazine Published: November 16, 2009 To: All Members of Golf Media From: Tiger Woods Inc. Dear friends, As I'm sure many of you are aware, we had an unfortunate incident in Melbourne on Saturday where Mr. Woods mis-hit his tee shot due to a father taking pictures of his daughter in their front yard about a mile from the course during Mr. Woods's swing. Following this gross breach of etiquette,...

Sarah Palin is going back to her rogue roots. The former GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor kicked off her national book tour Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Michigan – the town which she says inspired the title of her new book, "Going Rogue." -snip- The former Alaska governor sat down for an intimate interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters that will air in its entirety Friday at 9 p.m. on "20/20." But the network has aired a series of snippets on its morning program, "Good Morning America." In the most recent installments, Palin: • Calls President Obama's strategy to repair...

The incident occurred near the dumpster behind the Shop Rite store in Brooklyn, when Willard Kookish, formerly of 435 Subprime...

Sometimes you make exceptions at a members-only golf club. Especially if someone from the office of Vice President Joe Biden is on the telephone, calling back a second time with a more pointed request. It happened Sunday morning at The Golf Club at South Shore, at Lake Las Vegas. When the first call came in at 7 a.m., asking whether Biden could play the course, the PGA professional running the pro shop declined, citing the club's members-only policy. A few minutes later, another call: a Biden staffer telling the club pro "you know the vice president would really like to...

Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees' By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-11-18 10:27 For several years as uneducated sycophants in the media gushed and fawned over every utterance from former Vice President Al Gore, NewsBusters has informed readers of just how absurd the junk science he's peddling really is. Last Thursday, NBC "Tonight Show" viewers got a perfect example of how the Nobel Laureate basically makes things up, and that his poor grades in college [0] were quite an indicator of just how little he understands about science. So egregious was his departure from reality that the following...

It's a bad storyline for the president, and thoroughly in the bloodstream.

Seen on a bumper sticker: "PRAY for OBAMA; Psalms 109:8" Check out Psalms 109:8: "  8. Let his days be few; and let another take his office." Do I hear an "Amen" to that, anybody???! {And for our Secret Service friends who monitor Free Republic, by "days be few," we of course mean his "days in office"! }

This move was aimed at the Muslim food stands that had cropped up throughout the countryside. The...

While his almost-mother-in-law Sarah Palin hits the publicity trail this week for her autobiography Going Rogue, Levi Johnston will not be getting the exposure that originally had been promised. Contrary to earlier teases that the 19-year would leave nothing to the imagination in his Playgirl photo shoot, "He did not give 'full frontal' as his manager Tank [Jones] reported he would," Daniel Nardicio, a spokesman for Playgirl, tells New York's Daily News. The pictorial spread was shot last week. NBC News reports that publication, originally set for December, has been pushed up to this coming Saturday, Nov. 21.

Only 1160 days until our long, national nightmare is over.

New Ox-Am Dictionary Names 'Teabagger' Word of the Year Finalist By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-11-16 19:06 The New Oxford American Dictionary on Monday named its 2009 "Word of the Year," and listed as one of the finalists "teabagger." Fortunately, its definition was different than the sexual connotation many media members and liberal bloggers conveyed by using the term. Regardless, its inclusion is still quite offensive to millions of Americans. I guess the good folks at NOAD weren't concerned with that when they wrote the following press release [1]: Facebook fans will undoubtedly recognize the New Oxford American Dictionary's 2009 Word...

It was a town hall, but this time Barack Obama was not in Iowa or New Hampshire. There were no hay bales, no bunting and no activists with questions about universal health care, clean coal or legalizing marijuana. This forum, after all, was being held in a nation controlled by the Communist Party. Instead of being greeted by voters mulling their options, Obama on Monday met with several hundred well-dressed, attentive and relentlessly on-message students, handpicked by Chinese authorities for the occasion. They listened attentively, nodding in agreement at some of his answers and laughing at his jokes. Most of...

Chuck Norris visited West Point on Nov. 11. He signed more than 1,000 copies of his new book, The Offical Chuck Norris Fact Book. This video was from a talk that he did to about 1,700 cadets. He talks about choking dishonest members of Congress. He then brings up Pelosi's name. Well worth watching.

Thrift Spoils Everything In A Consumer Economy By Joel Bowman 11/15/09 Taipei, Taiwan – “Those damned consumers and their whiny confidence readings!” the Feds must be cursing. Sentiment dropped to its lowest in three months, according to the Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index. Apparently the consumers aren’t reading the papers. Don’t they know a recovery is underway? After all, the S&P finished up for a second straight week, higher by around 2.5% since Monday’s open. The markets are 60% above the 12-year low set back in March, and within a whisper of recouping half the losses since they fell from...

Al Gore Heckled During Global Warming Speech In Boca Raton By Noel Sheppard Created 2009-11-15 10:31 Nobel Laureate Al Gore was heckled during a global warming speech he gave Saturday in Boca Raton, Florida. Addressing a crowd of a thousand people at the Mizner Park Amphitheater, Gore was repeatedly booed by about 200 protesters stationed outside the open-air facility. As reported [1] by the Sun Sentinel Saturday (h/t NBer Blonde): Stationed outside the Mizner Park Amphitheater, the protesters jeered at Gore as he took the podium and at those walking into the open-air venue to listen to the speech. "This...

According to the Politico, an unnamed Obama aide is claiming that President Barack Obama did not actually bow to the Saudi King. But looking at the video, it seems to be a case if "Do you believe the White House or your lying eyes?" "It wasn't a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he's taller than King Abdullah," the aide is quoted as saying, suggesting that President Obama was just bending over to maintain eye contact with the King and not, in fact, But the video that accompanies the news stories clearly shows President Obama bowing before...

How low will he go? This photo will get Democrat President Obama a lot of approving nods in Japan this weekend, especially among the older generation of Japanese who still pay attention to the royal family living in its downtown castle. Very low bows like this are a sign of great respect and deference for a superior.

Insult or compliment? There is Obama toilet paper in Japan...

Question : “Madam Speaker, Do you feel like it’s fair to send people to jail for not buying health insurance?” Pelosi : “ The point is we want to make sure that everyone has access to health care. For a long time those that haven’t had health care were provided it ( ??? ) have placed the burden on others. Everybody is paying the price for uncompensated care in a hospital. This is to say we all have to do our part (except those getting it for free) and that is the point of the bill.” Question: “But Madam Speaker...
