Under the Fedora
I’ve been watching the constant attacks on Marco Rubio for
drinking water coupled with the hits on Ted Cruz for daring to question Chuck
Hagel and the outside money that he won’t disclose details on.
It’s been fascinating to see the media continue to embrace
this while doing their best to shield Senator Mendenez. CNN actually ran 8 minutes in prime time
defending Menendez on the hooker side and downplaying the corrupting side the
“everybody does it” argument.
It’s amazing the indulgences you
get in media when you have that D next to your name.
Sissy Willis put out a tweet on Senator Cruz on Wednesday
that says it all:
If you want to know why Ted Cruz is hated or feared by the
left. This is why.
On the same subject Morning Joe argued Tuesday that Rush
Limbaugh had hurt republicans because Democrats had won 4 of the last six
presidential elections. Actually
republicans are 3 for seven in elections since Rush was syndicated but here is
a better measure.
Both Joe Scarborough and I are going to be fifty this
year. From the day we were born till
Rush Limbaugh went on the air happens to be 25 years, half our lives. During that time GOP controlled the House of
Representatives exactly 0 years and the senate 6 years. At no time did the GOP control both houses of
congress.
During the 25 years since Rush came on the air the GOP has
controlled the house for 14 years and the senate for 10 years and for the first
time in our lifetimes controlled both house and senate for 10 of them.
I’ll make that trade any day of
the week and twice on Sunday.
Interesting story out of NY,
Katherine
Connell at National Review notes
Mayor Bloomberg has “won” in his confrontation with School Bus Drivers
in NYC. The drivers returned to work but
apparently He might have done even better for the city if the Bush Strike
Continuedfor
a while:
Walcott estimated the city saved $80 million
because it wasn't paying bus companies during the strike
NRO reports the city’s contract pays $7,000 annually per student
to get them to school and back.
Personally If I was a New Yorker I’d offer to take 4 Kids to
school every day for them at $14,000 a year even at 3 hours per school day that
would come out to $25.92 an hour for 3 hours work., but lets get more creative.
$7000 a year per student that works out to $38.88 per school
day per student based on a 180 day school year.
If you offered students $20 a day if they got themselves to
school and back without city help how many do you think would do so. In fact how many would make SURE they didn’t
miss a day or drop out if they knew, they could get a $20 for just showing
up? Or even better lets say parents had
a deal where they could get $3500 deposited annually into an UGMA account for
kids if they got them to school on their own.
Over the course of 12 years that $42,000.Enough for an inexpensive
community college or enough for a youth in a trade to start his own
business. Meanwhile NYC would save $500,000,000
It would make for an interesting
study wouldn’t it
Talking about Schools a while back Massachusetts was
debating a “Transgendered Rights” bill a while back. Opponents nicknamed it the Bathroom bill and
talked about girls being forced to shower with boys etc and they were
dismissed. The Transexual rights bill
was passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor on Jan 19th
2012 supposedly with the “shared bathroom ” aspects of it removed.
However with elections safely won by democrats in November
what could not be supported by legislation politically has become the rule
in Massachusetts.
The
Massachusetts Department of Education on Friday issued directives for handling
transgender students, including allowing them to use the bathrooms or play on
the sports teams that correspond to the gender with which they identify.
It gets better:
The
document said whether a student identifies as a boy or girl is up to the
student or, in the case of younger students, the parents.
While the subject is snarkworthy:
Who
needs a hole in the wall of the girls shower anymore? In Massachusetts all you
need is a teenager desperate enough to see actual naked girls in the shower and viola you have access, and if those
girls cover up, or scream or run into a stall to avoid you, remember THEY are
the ones being unreasonable:
Scott said
disciplining students who won’t acknowledge a student’s gender identity is
appropriate because it amounts to bullying
Got
that? If you girls don’t totally welcome Pee Wee into your locker room you are
a BULLY and we all know how bad bullying is!
these are the
actual guidelines issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Education
Department!
This bill is the logical
extension of Gay Marriage, after you redefine what marriage and INSIST that
those who don’t agree are bigots redefining what boys and girls are is no great
leap.
People on the left, particularly Mike Barnicle have
constantly said with snark “how does gay marriage effect you.” Well now you know and it only took nine
years.
If you are a parent of daughters and send them to a
Massachusetts public school my advice is to get them out before high school and
perhaps before middle school if you can financially swing it.
I’ve been writing a series on George Washington and why he
remains the greatest president and greatest American who ever lived. The first three parts here, here and here with one more on the way.
Washington is lost in the
politically correct time we live in but consider one thing, he willingly gave
up power twice, once after the revolution and once as president? What pol today do you think would do the
same?
A psychic opened up shop on the Fitchburg Leominster
line. I’ve always laughed at that kind
of thing. I always figured a real
psychic would have won a lottery and retired once they figured out they had any
such gift but what I’d really like to see is someone open such a shop and as
soon as a person walks through the door says:
“Yes he’s cheating on you $20 please”, or “no you don’t want to quit $20
please.”
It would be interesting to see
how many people would fork over the $20 given something like that.
I have to admit this story made
me smile:
The malware had been designed to attack Mac computers.
The same software, which infected Macs by exploiting a flaw
in a version of Oracle Corp's Java software used as a plug-in on Web browsers,
was used to launch attacks against Facebook, which the social network disclosed
on Friday.
The malware was also employed in attacks against Mac
computers used by "other companies," Apple said, without elaborating
on the scale of the assault.
For a very long time, I’ve been a big critic of those who
recommend Mac because “they are safe from virus”. The truth has always been the only reason why
you didn’t have a lot of malware for Apples was they were such a small segment
of the market and the Willie Suttons of the net went where the computers were.
Now that Mac’s profile has grown they have become targets
and a lot of people who never bothered with anti-virus software because they
had Macs are going to be burned.
And remember your “smart phone”
that’s a computer too so be careful.
As time has gone by we’ve more details on Pope Benedicts
physical condition I find myself wondering less and less why he decided to
retire and more and more wondering if he will live to see retirement.
Finally I was pleased to see Bonnie Langford back in on Big
Finish doing audios with Colin Baker after a very long absence, but have we
really reached the point where we are doing paradoxes inside of paradoxes?
I blame Steven Moffett.
This is his vision of Doctor Who , in small does it’s fine but as Faye Dunaway said in the Classic Move
Little Big Man about working in a brothel:
if I was married and could come here once or
twice a week,... ...it might be fun, but every night is just boring
I sure hope things change with Dr. Who before it becomes
boring.

Under the Fedora: 2-14
Michael Graham has now gone into Self
Syndication in the same way I have, from the same studio I broadcast from,
soliciting advertisers in the same way as I am, at the same time of day as me
(except during the week rather than Saturdays)
and on all of the stations I’m on as well.
Who says great minds don’t think alike?
BTW FTR Radio has picked up the
show as the first station added to our syndication. This is hopefully only the first step in the
expansion of the show in New England and beyond. Frankly if there was ever a time to jump
onboard as either an advertiser or to take advantage of my commentary deal, it
would be now!
Pope Benedict XVI shocked the entire Catholic world by
announcing his resignation this week effective February 28th. As
Jazz Shaw put it The last time
something like this happened the only Europeans who knew America existed were
Vikings.
The news has been a Godsend to Catholic Dissident groups,
not because there is any chance of the new Pope being a supporter of Gay
Marriage or Abortion etcetcetc, as every voting Cardinal has been appointed by
either Benedict XVI or John Paul II. The
odds are better of me being named Rush Limbaugh’s permanent replacement on EIB.
However it does allow them to pretend that they are
relevant, get some airtime and generate the money necessary to support their
status as leftist gadflies.
People are thinking what should you call an ex Pope. I vote for Holy Grand Father.
-------------------------------------------
My co-blogger Roxeanne tells he she’s been having trouble
with her internet for 4 weeks. Comcast
has really fumbled the ball on this.I keep reminding her she has access to a
blog now ranked 101 among conservative web sites. Comcast should consider this too.
As I’m typing this Chris Dorner has apparently been killed
by police but not before he took hostages and killed one officer and wounded
another.
The celebration of Dorner based no race and ideology has
been one of the more disgusting things I’ve seen. It is in my opinion symbolic of a portion of
society where fatherhood is a rare thing but even with that rationalization
it’s still a shock, but it shouldn’t be after all there are those who
celebrated Charles Manson, but there was a time before the net that people
would be ashamed to celebrate evil publicly.
Welcome to post Christian
America.
This week’s DaTechGuy on DaRadio BTW will feature Bishop
Daniel Reilly in the first hour on the subject of the Pope’s resignation, and author Dave Carter talking about his book
to be released Friday “Che the lost diaries”.
It would not surprise me to see Christopher Dorner to be celebrated in
the same way as Che. On the bright side
it beats him being lionized like Muma
It has been announced that the 2nd Doctor
Adventure that will be showed this month for the 50th anniversary of
Dr. Who is Tomb
of the Cybermen.
I wasn’t surprised but I would
have preferred the War Games, but there is no chance a 10 part adventure would
be picked, particularly as it was a regeneration episode.
I usually don’t’ have much good to say about Deval Patrick
but in my opinion the state did an excellent job with the Blizzard of 13. The lessons of 1978 and the ice storm seem to
have been learned.
He’s still a bad governor but credit when credit is due.
I prefer one huge storm vs snow
all winter. There is a lot of back
breaking shoveling but it’s only done once.
Meanwhile there are some people
in ain NY who as of Tuesday still haven’t had a plow pass by. I guess Cuomo is too busy worrying about
passing laws to help him in 2016.
Robert Stacy McCain is used to covering stories others have
ignored:
It’s Ash Wednesday, and a 29-year-old kindergarten teacher was laid to
rest in Westchester County, N.Y. Her story is now gaining international
attention, but the New York Times and
the national TV networks can’t be bothered to report the death of a woman who
died after a late-term abortion by Dr. LeRoyCarhart. So the story got covered
by Viral Read:
Some have objected and he has answered:
Accuse me
of disrespecting the Morbelli family’s grief, denounce me for seeking to
exploit this woman’s death for the sake of politics and I will repeat what I’ve
said before: I
don’t care, just stop ignoring this story.
This story
isn’t about me or you or Jill Stanek. This story is about an abortionist
who left a woman to bleed to death. If you want to target Jill Stanek for
a lawsuit, please go right ahead, Bridgette, and I’ll cover the lawsuit,
because that will call attention to the shameful enormity of the bloody career
of this disgraceful butcher, LeRoyCarhart.
Double-dog
dareya.
No,
Bridgette, you wouldn’t dare pursue such a lawsuit, because you know as well as
I do that the more Americans learn about what “late-term abortion” really
means, the more they’ll be horrified to know that the United States is one of
only four countries in the world — along with China, North Korea and Canada —
where abortions are legal in the 33rd week of pregnancy.
I’ll have Stacy on the show next week, I wonder if anyone will bother to report this
story by then?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPAC &Blogbash is coming, my friend Jerry Wilson is not impressed:
For the
uninitiated — you haven’t missed much, believe me — BlogBash is a party thrown
for political bloggers during CPAC (an annual gathering of conservatives) by
one Ali Akbar, with whom my encounters have been well chronicled, and associates. It’s quite the to-do, with awards and sponsors and
special guest star appearances by high rollers in conservative new media and
politicians. Gaining admittance to BlogBash is the modern equivalent of
trying to get into Studio 54.
Come
BlogBash night, you will see scads and scores of blog posts and tweets from
those in attendance hanging out with others in attendance, 99 44/100% of which
will feature photos of said attendees in various states of inebriation hanging
onto other attendees.
Assuming I make it to CPAC (my credentials have been approved) I’ll likely
be at Blogbash. You’ll find me sitting
on the floor near an electrical outlet typing away as I always am.
--------------------------------------------------------
The GEICO ad of DikembeMutombo
issimply brilliant. It’s one
of those things you can watch and just smile.
With the political scene being what it is you need a reason to smile
these days.

I hang with a group of friends on Tuesdays playing board
games as we have since the 70’s. Three
of us went to High School Together. The
oldest of the three of us turns 50 this week.
I feel very old seeing this.
This is my least favorite time of the year, waiting for the start of baseball season. The snow is on the ground and the first
spring training games have yet to start Doctor Who hasn’t yet returned to TV.
Spring can’t come fast enough.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some TV? My wife has started watching Arrow, it’s an interesting re-write of the old Green Arrow comic, its big into the whole Anti-hero theme but no matter how you slice it, you have a bunch of six packed guys doing very manly things.
Women were never big into superhero stuff but once you had
movies and TV’s full of hunks you KNEW that was going to change.
Finally I want to thank the readers, when I decided to have
a weekly tip jar goal so I could finally start paying myself I was very
worried. When I made my $300 weekly goal
the first time I felt good but it’s not the first time but the 2nd
time that makes the difference. Well
Week two raised the $300 and then some.
None of this is possible without you. I won’t forget it.

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.
