Under the Fedora: Courage Models et/al
This morning I was looking at Morning Joe when they said we
had the potential for a repeat of the Blizzard of ’78 this weekend. Apparently there are several computer weather
models and the spread is as much as 1” to 16” inches in parts of NY State.
If 72 hours out our computer models have a 1600% margin of
error what makes anyone think it’s sensible to base spending on computer models
forecasting “climate change” over 30 or
50 years?
Lost among the talk of the Robert Menendez and the Hookers
and the Dominican donors is this story out of New
Jersey:
An Elmwood Park man pleaded
guilty on Tuesday to conspiring with his brother to violate federal election
law by steering $21,400 in illegal campaign contributions to U.S. Sen. Bob
Menendez.
Benedetto
Bigica, 45, admitted that he worked with his brother, Joseph, of Franklin Lakes, from
April 2005 to April 2008 to make the illegal contributions, U.S. Attorney Paul
J. Fishman said.
And Joseph threw in his share:
Joseph Bigica, 47, an insurance broker, was a prominent Democratic
contributor who won millions of dollars in no-bid government contracts across
North Jersey. Authorities said he recruited 19 people, including family members
and business associates, and used them as straw donors to make 30 illegal
contributions to Menendez’s campaigns, totaling $98,600 from 2005 to 2009.
How did senator Menendez describe this? His office called the Senator a “victim”
That’s why he didn’t pay those
Hookers,he
didn’t want them to be victims.
Would we even be talking about
Menendez if Jay Leno didn’t crack a joke about him?
I was really excited about Robert Spencer being a speaker at
the annual Catholic Men’s Conference for the Worcester Diocese. It’s a great event, it was the first such
men’s conference in the country and spawned a slew of them nationwide and there
is no sight like 1000+ men lined up for confession.
Then this
happened:
I was scheduled to appear at a Catholic Men's Conference in Worcester,
Massachusetts on March 16, until today, when the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Worcester, Robert McManus, directed that my appearance be canceled. McManus was
under pressure from Islamic supremacist groups who were calling and emailing
the diocese demanding that he cancel my appearance. I've been informed that
they were asked to call the diocese and demand the cancellation by a Boston
Globe reporter named Lisa J. Wangsness, who contacted me this morning and
appears to have instigated the entire controversy.
Meanwhile He spoke at the Natick
VFW this week I interviewed him afterwards:
I know the Bishop and he’s a pretty decent guy who has not
given into the media in the past. I
suspect he was badly played by the various groups involved but what really
confuses me is this:
The Globe has not and likely will not be any sort of ally of
the church and when the “new evangelization” gets into full swing the same
people screaming for the removal of Spencer will be objecting to Catholic proselytizing.
What will happen when these same people start objecting
then?
In
Massachusetts the GOP has only 11% registration, last week the state party had
an election for a new Chairman. Kirsten
Hughes was the winner and spoke to me after her election.
She
is a competent and energetic person who might be able to pull it off,
unfortunately the method by which she was umm less than
optimal:
Thursday’s debacle left the activists who
attended outraged. They were
upset with the blatant attempt to steal the election during the first ballot,
angered at the attempt to block the 2nd after the votes were cast, befuddled
when their candidate was made to announce his defeat ad simply outraged that
they had to literally scream for the vote count of the second ballot (41-39)
before it was given.Meanwhile the Mass GOP managed to shoot itself in the
foot during the election for party chair between eventual winner Kirsten Hughes
Karl Rove, Scott Brown and Mitt Romney not withstanding ,
you can’t win an election attacking your party and you can’t grow a party by
treating your base this way. Perhaps
when the GOP figures that out I’ll come
back.
Things continue to go poorly in Egypt, in addition to the
issues with freedom now they have an issue with
bread:
the government is telling Egyptians (almost half of whom live on less
than $2 a day) to eat less. You can’t make this sort of thing up. Egypt lost
another $1.4 billion in foreign exchange reserves in January, and probably is
flat broke after figuring in arrears to oil and food suppliers, and it imports
half its food, so something had to give. In response, Egypt’s Islamist
government is emulating North Korea’s approach to food shortages:
But …but I thought with Mubarek out his family wasn’t
stealing anymore? Where is that money
going? Well that’s a good question but
the origin of this issue likely comes from another
source:
"We
need stability to get tourists back. But the Islamist rule is provoking more
instability and rage," said Sayed Abdel Tawab, a 33-year-old tour guide
who has seen his daily earnings shrink from $32 per day to $11.
"I
have no hope there will be stability," said Yasser Bahlol, 33, in his own
souvenir stand as he idly surveyed what would previously have been a bustling,
high-season flow of visitors. Only a few Egyptian visitors wandered past,
spending little.
It’s hard to pay for imported calories when you chase away
the tourists who provide the capital for them.
As Spengler puts it…
We are watching something unique and terrible in modern history, namely
the disintegration of a society of 80 million people, with the prospect of real
hunger–a self-made famine brought about by social and political disaster rather
than crop failure or war.
I don’t know how unique it is. There is a certain fellow named Mugabi who
managed to turn his country into a land of food shortages.
The Ravens won the
superbowl, that didn’t surprise me, that they were able to strop the 49ers on a
goal line stand, that didn’t surprise me either, but I object to the entire
philosophy of the entire non-call on the 4th and goal play.
Either holding is a flagable offense or it is not. The rule book doesn’t say holding is allowed
if it is in the 4th quarter of the Superbowl with under two minutes
to play.
That’s why I like baseball, umps
might blow a play on occasion but the rules are the rules are the rules and you
can’t run out the clock to win.
The game has become a lot about the ads, some ads like the
Paul Harvey Farm ad will be remembered long after they are done, others like
the Go Daddy Kiss will soon be forgotten.
The ad that I will remember most is the Prom Ad. I hated it and its personal. I always was told there were plenty of people
at the prom alone, but at my senior prom I was the only single there. A cloth was tied to the empty chair next to me Single most humiliating experience of my
life.
The real irony, my wife to be, same High School Class was at
home, wasn’t asked.

Under the Fedora-- Conventional wisdom and boobs
In the MSM this week it’s been all about Hillary Clinton and
her inevitable nomination and election to the presidency. Didn’t we see this movie five years ago?
Don’t count out Joe Biden for a moment. Goofball image (I think that’s deliberate)
not withstanding he served in the Senate for 36 years. I suspect he has more to do with the Senate
“no budget” move and the Obamacare passage than people realize.
Anyone who believes conventional
wisdom unquestionably must be all excited to see the Patriots play Green Bay in
this week’s Superbowl.
Speaking of football the debate on the game continues,
Bernard Pollard has this to say about the future of the game as things are done
to make it
safer:
“Thirty years from now, I don’t think it will be in existence,”
Pollard told CBSSports.com. “I could be wrong. It’s
just my opinion, but I think with the direction things are going — where
[NFL rules makers] want to lighten up, and they’re throwing flags and
everything else — there’s going to come a point where fans are going to
get fed up with it.”
The
pro-bowl was this week, once a year you have a game that is pretty much a flag
football game without the flags in Hawaii to celebrate the best players of the
year just before or just after the Super Bowl.
I’m sure
a lot of people watched as the last game of the year when it comes on after or
as the only game of the week before. But ask yourself this: If every game was like that one would you pay
to see it? Would you buy an NFL
package? Would you go to the bar to
watch it?
As these
changes continue the viewers of the NFL will drift elsewhere, I suspect to the
Legends (read Lingerie) football league.
Did you know there was such a thing with twelve teams in a national
league nationwide? If fans can’t have
big hits they’ll just have to settle for big…..emha well….moving on….
Did you know I have a co-blogger on my site? I met Roxeanne De Luca in Boston the night of
Scott Brown’s victory party back in 2010.
She is a brilliant young lady who has become a friend. If I had a daughter I wish it would be her
and if my sons were older, she is who I’d want them to end up with.
Yesterday she wrote a piece called: How’s
that women-empowering sexual revolution thing working out for you?
The author
of this article, Allison Pearson, talks a lot about the porn culture and the
ready access to a “virtual world” (online, texting, etc.). But she misses the
point. We could have thrown mobile phones at women in the 1860s,
but no man would have dared to ask a lady to perform fellatio on him, because
her dad would shoot him. As in, dual to the death, all members of her
family lined up to protest the treatment of their sister. (I will note
that some very backwards countries shoot the wronged woman, not the offending
man.)
This is a
sexual revolution issue. Once we started saying that promiscuity is
empowering, that sexual experimentation is fun for women, that pregnancy is the
only obstacle a woman faces in intimate acts, we gave young men license to
treat young women like unpaid prostitutes. (Actually, worse – a man might
understand if a prostitute said that she was off-duty for the night.)
She only posts maybe once or twice a week but she’s a
gem. I’m proud to have her here.
----------------------------------------------------
As the Media continues to push gun
control/confiscation/etcetcetc At PJ media Vodkapundit reprints a petition to
eliminate armed guards around the president.
If Gun Free Zones are sufficient to protect our children they should be
good enough for the
politicians:
What’s the Biblical quote: “No servant is greater than the master?” Then again maybe today’s public servants have
a different view of who serves who.
Of course a lot of definitions can be flexible for example
words like “Newsworthy” for example when
one is a US senator and there is word about an FBI investigation concerning say,
Underage Dominican Hookers and you’re scheduled to be on a national TV
show. You could cancel but if you can’t
or won’t you may consider a strategy of deny, Deny DENY!
I suspect
this was the strategy of Senator Robert Menendez as he appeared on ABC’s THIS
WEEK two days after news of the FBI investigation
of a sexual scandal involving underage Dominican Hookers broke.
Alas for
the Senator ABC News’ Martha Raddatz totally foiled that strategy by
cleverly choosing to refuse to ask a single question on the subject
If Martha Raddatz, who we were all assured was an unbiased
and professional journalist when questions arose before the vice-presidential
debate last year, doesn’t find a scandal involving underage hookers and a US
senator newsworthy when it involves a democrat why would any member of the
party of Jackson feel restrained in anything?
-----------------------------
Allen West is now working for PJ media doing a feature
called Next Generation : This week
talked about women in combat saying
This mission of the United States Military is to fight and win our
nations war, fairness is an evaluative criteria.
While the media will ignore his words except to critique it
the most significant thing he said was talking about how the enemy can strike
anywhere
And as we saw four years ago at Fr. Hood Texas the enemy can strike
where our troops should feel most secure their own military installation. At Fr. Hood a pregnant soldier lost her life.
Ft. Hood WAS an enemy attack,
the left likes to pretend otherwise, it doesn’t fit their worldview
As a now syndicated radio talk host this might be a
dangerous opinion but I’ve never understood the various commercials for
testosterone or for erection pills (yes they have a name, but lets face it
that’s what they are.
Let me tell you something. If a woman doesn’t want you sexually none of
this stuff is going to make a difference.
I don’t care what brand of after shave you use, how many pills you pop,
how must testosterone you take or how many little blue pills you have stashed
in your wallet, none of these things are going to make a woman who doesn’t want
you, want you.
Victor Davis Hanson talked about the state of the state of California
this week
Also, when
you say, “My God, one of every three welfare recipients lives in California,” or “California schools are terrible,” you
mean really, “Not in Newport or Carmel. So who cares about Fresno, or Tulare —
they might as well be in Alabama for all the times I have been there.”
He
continues
Thank God
for Mississippi and Alabama, or California schools would test dead last.
Somehow, in
just thirty years we created obstacles to public learning that produce results
approaching the two-century horrific legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. About half the resources of the California State
University system are devoted to remedial schooling for underperforming high
school students (well over half who enter take remediation courses; half don’t graduate even in six years; and
well over half have sizable financial aid). The point of CSU’s general
education requirement is not so much any more to offer broad learning (who is
to say what is “general education?”), but rather to enter a sort of race,
class, and gender boot camp that allows some time off to become familiar with
how the culture and politics of the state should continue.
Hey as long as Mexico remains a bigger basket case,
California will remain heaven to those who would cross.
As Glenn Reynolds says, “They’ll make us all beggars because
they are easier to please.”
Well the first doctor who special is over and
done as is the episode The Aztecs, it’s available on Netflix and you should
watch it if you can. It has a great
message for today explained here
