Obama’s big trouble will come when his dealings with Tony Rezko come to light. Rezko has connections to La Cosa Nostra as do a lot of Chicago Democrats. Look up the Duff family and Mayor Daley, in particular John Kass’ columns. I don’t know how close Obama is to these people but they are dirty and they don’t do favors for nothing.

Comedian: Liberals Are Like 5 Year Olds

Snip:

(CNSNews.com) - Liberals are wrong about everything and have the mentality of kindergarteners, in the view of conservative comedian and commentator Evan Sayet.

"The Democrats are wrong on quite literally every issue," Sayet said at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., on Monday. "They are not just wrong. They are as wrong as wrong can be.

"It's not just domestic policy. It's foreign policy. It's every policy," he said, adding that liberals are "diametrically opposed to that which is good, right and successful."

"The modern liberal will invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success," Sayet said.

"How could you possibly live in the freest nation in the history of the world and only see oppression? How could you live in the least imperialist power in human history and see us as the ultimate in imperialism? How can you live in the least bigoted nation in human history … and see racism lurking in every dark shadow?" he asked.

The comedian attributed the trend to a "rejection of all fact, reason, evidence, logic, truth, morality, and decency."

Sayet also argued that liberals "have the mentality of five-year-olds."

Most Unusual Lawsuit Of The Day
http://www.lifelikepundits.com/index.php/site/most_unusual_lawsuit_of_the_day/

The Scooter Libby Verdict

Snip (What i've been drilling into heads for a while)

This is the part of the jury instructions — pages 74-75 — that is hanging up the jury:

Count three of the indictment alleges that Mr. Libby falsely told the FBI on October 14 or November 16, 2003, that during a conversation with Matthew Cooper of Time magazine on July 12, 2003, Mr. Libby told Mr. Cooper that reporters were telling the administration that Mr. Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, but that Mr. Libby did not know if this was true.

It's easy to criticize the jury — they can seem easily confused — but the problem here is not the jury. It is the charge. This is the entirety of Count 3 (and Count 5, as well): Libby testified that he told Cooper that reporters were telling him, Libby, that Valerie Plame Wilson worked for the CIA, but that he, Libby, did not know if it was true. Cooper testified that Libby did not say that. There are no notes, no recordings, no records, no nothing to support either man's story. Just Libby's testimony versus Cooper's testimony. And prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has asked the jury to convict Libby of a felony, one that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, on that astonishingly flimsy allegation. No wonder the jury is confused.

Kids... mistrial/misconduct writ large.

Test Run
http://bluecrabboulevard.com/2007/03/07/test-run/

An Iraqi national, in the US with a green card, triggered a scare at the Los Angeles airport. He had a magnet and wires secreted inside his rectum. And authorities say there is no apparent cause for concern. Sure.

Well, gee. I missed the newest craze, apparently. The butt magnet must be all the current rage if the Feds aren't even concerned. They apparently have no worries that the man could have been testing security to see what he could get through. But no worries. Just a butt magnet. Nothing to see. Move along.

Note: I move that terrorist supporting dems be henceforth known as wires or butt magnets. So let it be posted... so let it be done.

I happen to believe — completely smugly and to the utter annoyance of my critics — that they will eventually come around.” He explains why. (TigerHawk)
