Meet The Sarah Palin Troopergate Investigators

September 10, 2008 |   |  Presidential Election

Troopergate is the name given to the bogus, trumped up investigation into Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan after Monegan allegedly refused to do anything to investigate or discipline her allegedly out-of-control brother-in-law State Trooper Mike Wooten.

The Alaska legislature is investigating whether Palin abused her power in firing Monegan. Many familiar with the full story wonder if someone ought to be investigating why Wooten was allowed to carry a gun and badge after all the allegations and admissions about him surfaced.

A site called Health Care BS uncovered the information below regarding the “non-partisan” Troopergate investigation.

Tom Manion: Get A Gift Basket to McCain/Palin Pronto

September 10, 2008 |   |  Congressional Election

Hey, this isn’t the way it was supposed to work.  After two years of hearing that the Republican “brand” is damaged beyond repair and nothing could stop the bleeding of House and Senate seats to Democrats this fall, something strange happened.  Reality.

Public support for Republican Party candidates to the House of Representatives increased dramatically this month in the United States, according to a poll by Gallup released by USA Today. 50 per cent of respondents would vote for the GOP contender in their congressional district, up eight points since August.

Democratic Party contenders are second with 45 per cent, down six points in a month. Six per cent of respondents would vote for other candidates or are undecided.

It seems the public hasn’t really taken a liking to the direction in which no-drill Nancy and her puppets like Li’l Patrick Murphy are taking the country.

Did Obama Call Palin a ‘Pig’? [Yes: Updated With Video]

September 9, 2008 |   |  Obamessiah

Sarah Palin:
“I love those hockey moms.  You know, they say, what’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”

Barack Obama:
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”

Politico reports:

The crowd apparently took the “lipstick” line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: “lipstick.”

UPDATE: Now that I’ve seen the video, I can say with 100% certainty that the Palin=Pig allusion was exactly what he was going for and that he knew exactly what he was doing.  You can see it in his face and the body language of the hand covering the face. The crowd knew it, too.

ANOTHER UPDATE: The Obama Zombies are claiming that this is just an innocent old phrase and not a reference to Governor Palin at all.  Easy to do when just focusing on the “pig” part, not so easy to do when you factor in the next line.

“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”

Obama was clearly referencing McCain (“old fish”) and Palin (“pig in lipstick”) so get over yourselves and take the heat.

Is Tomorrow The End of The World?

September 9, 2008 |   |  World

The world’s largest particle collider, an 18-mile long behemoth machine called the Large Hadron Collider that lies 300 feet beneath the French / Swiss border, will be fired up on Wednesday.  Supporters say it will provide an almost endless stream of vital physics information, none of which I will ever understand.  There are a few who think that it will create a black hole under the earth that will travel to the planet’s core and implode it from within.

This doesn’t sound promising.

“We have had some last-minute problems,” said Dr Bailey, who has spent 30 years at Cern [the location of the LHC].

The LHC is a giant racetrack around which two streams of protons will run in opposite directions before smashing into each other. The debris is the important stuff, hopefully providing insights into the nature of mass, alternative dimensions and the dark matter and energy that is thought to make up most of the universe.

But to achieve the collisions you need lots of electromagnets to hem the protons in and keep them on target. And to get really powerful electromagnets you need to keep them cold – very, very cold. To within a few degrees of absolute zero, in fact.

This was the problem on Monday. The LHC’s enormous cooling system failed partially, raising the temperature to the intolerably high temperature of minus 269 degrees C or so.

There are going to be about 300 journalists present when the machine is powered up at 3:30 AM Eastern Time, so we’ll be sure to find out quickly that it’s all Bush’s fault when the thing explodes.

How Low Will They Go: Obama Supporters Mock Trig at New Site

September 9, 2008 |   |  Presidential Election

The supporters of Presidential candidate Barack Obama reached a new low on September 3rd, when a new attack web site entitled “Trig is the name and I am retarded” was established at retardedbaby.com.  I’m not linking to it.  Type in the url yourself if you want to throw up.

Governor Palin’s son Trig was born in April with Down’s Syndrome.

Next time one of your idiot liberal friends starts rattling on about the “Right-Wing Attack Machine” and how hate filled conservatives are, give them this address of this site and ask for an apology.

UPDATE: And now it’s gone.  Good riddance.

Murphy Back At Work For the People of Bucks County

September 9, 2008 |   |  Congressional Election

Fear not, Bucks County residents.  Your hard working Congressman, Patrick “Li’l Pat” Murphy was back in Washington yesterday, fresh and rested from his 5-week vacation judging zucchini,  ready to attend to the pressing matters effecting your family and your wallet.

YES WE CAN have Theodore Roosevelt United States Courthouse in Brooklyn New York!

YES WE CAN have Spottswood W. Robinson III and Robert R. Merhige, Jr. Federal Courthouse in Richmond, Virginia!

Off-shore drilling or nuclear power to alleviate our dependence on foreign energy provided by countries that hate us?  Ummm…apparently no we still can’t.

57th State is Denial

September 9, 2008 |   |  Presidential Polling

This can’t be comforting to Democrats.  Rather than face the wholesale abandonment of the Obama candidacy by white female voters and find a way to counteract it, the Obama campaign has chosen to deny that the shift exists.

Among white female voters, preferences have shifted from Obama to McCain by an unprecedented 20% in two weeks according to an ABC News / Washington Post poll.

Before the Democratic National Convention in late August, Obama held an 8 percentage point lead among white women voters, 50 percent to 42 percent, but after the Republican convention in early September, McCain was ahead by 12 points among white women, 53 percent to 41 percent, the poll found.

But, like another giant-eared intelligence challenged neophyte, the Obama campaign has adopted the slogan, “What, Me Worry?”

Asked about the findings during a briefing on Monday before the poll was published, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe told a Washington Post reporter, “Well, your poll is wrong.”

And he’s not talking about the Bradley effect, either.  He’s talking about it being wrong in their direction.
