The Illogical, Vacuous, Leftist Gesture of the Day

For those who still think that Bill Gates is an intelligent man, I offer this story.

Bill Gates playfully frees swarm of mosquitoes by Glenn Chapman

Microsoft founder turned disease-battling philanthropist Bill Gates loosed mosquitoes at an elite Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) Conference to make a point about the deadly sting of malaria.

“Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,” Gates said while opening a jar onstage at a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

“I brought some. Here I’ll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected.”

Gates waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the liberated insects were malaria-free.

This asshole should be sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress. He subjected people to the suspicion that malaria infected mosquitoes were about and waited an entire minute before telling them the truth?

TED curator Chris Anderson fired back at the legendary computer software maker, joking that the headline for the video of his talk to be posted online at Ted.com would be “Gates releases more bugs into the world.”

As he has in travels on behalf of his eponymous charitable foundation, Gates detailed the strides made in dealing with malaria in affluent countries and the need to fight the disease in impoverished nations.

“There is more money put into baldness drugs than into malaria,” Gates quipped, triggering laughter. “Now, baldness is a terrible thing and rich men are afflicted. That is why that priority has been set.”

It’s also called supply and demand, you dork. When people are standing in line for a certain treatment, more of it will be made. ANd many middleclass men are getting the treatment, not just the rich.

Gates called for aggressive distribution of insect netting and other gear proven to protect people from disease-transmitting stings.

He also shared that a malaria vaccine backed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation should start Phase Three testing in a few months.

“I am an optimist; I think any tough problem can be solved,” Gates said.

“The market does not drive scientists, thinkers, or governments to do the right things. Only by paying attention and making people care can we make as much progress as we need to.”

The Bono of the computer world, ladies and gentlemen!

“The market does not drive scientists or thinkers”? Really? What exactly motivated you, Mr. Gates, when you helped start Microsoft? Mosquitoes?

This gesture was beyond stupid. If Gates was even mildly informed about malaria, he’d have some concern about the ban on DDT.
Moreover, note the ridiculous obsession with equality: some people are suffering, therefore all must be subjected to the same suffering.

Nancy Pelosi Unfamiliar with Population of United States

I don’t post on this story so much to make fun of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), although that is part of my aim, but to demonstrate the double standard that exists in this media between gaffes uttered by Republicans and those uttered by Democrats.

If this sort of thing happens once, it’s understandable. It’s hard work undermining capitalism, and the perhaps the Speaker was tired.

But this was not the first time Pelosi thought America had a population of 500 million working adults.According to Nice Deb:

Speaker Pelosi made this same goof on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace on January 18:

From the transcript:

PELOSI: Well, I believe that — I know that President-elect Obama is a strong supporter of America’s workers. I myself am a strong supporter of that legislation. We passed it with a strong vote in the House in the last Congress, and I continue to be supportive of it.

But in terms of what we have to do in the first 100 days, we must address the needs of this country. Five hundred million people will lose their jobs each month until we have an economic package.

WALLACE: No, 500,000.

PELOSI: What did I say, million?

WALLACE: Yes, 500 million. That would really be a recession.

Thanks to Geoff.

Can you imagine a Republican getting away with this bone headed mistake? No, neither can I.

Although Pelosi’s “500,000″ comment was unintentional, it is a fact that Pelosi and her liberal comrades do wish to make the current economic situation much worse than it is so as to justify all sorts of government intervention into the free market.Like all good liberals, Pelosi’s concern is not accuracy but accumulation of power.

The Egomaniac-in-Chief Knows Better Than You

If you ran a business, any business, would you pay your employees more than they’re worth?

Of course not.

Someone please let Barack “What birth certificate?” Obama in on that golden nugget of common sense.

Obama administration to issue executive pay limits By JIM KUHNHENN

“If the taxpayers are helping you, then you’ve got certain responsibilities to not be living high on the hog,” President Barack Obama said in an interview with “NBC Nightly News.”

Doesn’t he sound so Presidential?

Now we see what happens when government “helps” us: it actually comes to OWN us. That was the intent all along.

That Didn’t Take Long: Obama Breaks First Promise

Did you know that Barack Obama made over 500 promises to Americans during his campaign?

Over 500.

Would you be able to make, say, 50 promises?

Already, Obama has broken his first promise. Surprising that it took Obama so long to do it.

The majority of voters favored this socialist egomaniac for President. Could the average Obama supporter be worse than naive?

Credit CNN for even bothering with this story. On the other hand, Obama is safely elected so…

The Ignorance of Liberal Artists

In the art world, one will rarely (if ever) find any class, taste, standards, or decency, but pure ignorance comes in droves.

...

So this semi-functional puddle of piss work of art ought not surprise anyone.

You have to admire the gratitude of liberals. Abuse and ignorance is what W. gets for defending Muslims from tyranny, for fighting a global network of terrorists, for removing a ruthless dictator, for keeping us safe for 8 years under highly  straining circumstances. Be sure about one thing: If W. had a “D” after his name, he’d have bronze statues erected in his honor in Times Square, not urinals made in his image courtesy of a sculptor/jerk.

how the english respect the queen[']s english

Yet another example of dumbing things down for those who cannot be bothered to learn some rules.

Its a catastrophe for the apostrophe in Britain By MEERA SELVA

On the streets of Birmingham, the queen’s English is now the queens English.

England’s second-largest city has decided to drop apostrophes from all its street signs, saying they’re confusing and old-fashioned.

But some purists are downright possessive about the punctuation mark.

It seems that Birmingham officials have been taking a hammer to grammar for years, quietly dropping apostrophes from street signs since the 1950s. Through the decades, residents have frequently launched spirited campaigns to restore the missing punctuation to signs denoting such places as “St. Pauls Square” or “Acocks Green.”

This week, the council made it official, saying it was banning the punctuation mark from signs in a bid to end the dispute once and for all.

Councilor Martin Mullaney, who heads the city’s transport scrutiny committee, said he decided to act after yet another interminable debate into whether “Kings Heath,” a Birmingham suburb, should be rewritten with an apostrophe.

“I had to make a final decision on this,” he said Friday. “We keep debating apostrophes in meetings and we have other things to do.”

Eventualy, youll bee making othur finall desisions wich will make this one appeer easy in comparisun.

Remember that England WAS THE global super power. Now apostrophes bother them.

The “Free Press” in Russia: Another Journalist Murdered

Russian newspaper mourns another murdered reporter By MIKE ECKEL

The dead loom over the morning editorial meeting at Russia’s leading investigative newspaper. Novaya Gazeta’s staff is trying to plan the next issue and editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov is in an understandably foul mood.

In a corner hang photos of four reporters he has lost in the past eight years – one beaten to death, one allegedly poisoned, two shot – the most recent on Jan. 19. It’s not easy to put a paper out these days, Muratov says.

“There’s usually a lot of jokes, laughing, talk about ideas. But our batteries are totally spent,” says Muratov, 47, billows of pipe smoke filling the long pauses. “How can there be any sort of (normal) frame of mind when a journalist is being buried?”

That journalist was Anastasia Baburova, a 25-year-old cub reporter. She and a human rights lawyer were shot execution-style by a masked man with a silenced pistol as they walked together a few blocks from the Kremlin.

In a country considered one of the most dangerous for journalists, no Russian newspaper has suffered like Novaya Gazeta. In a country where most media have been cowed into submission, no other newspaper publishes such probing investigative articles and acid commentary about government corruption, police-state politics and Chechnya war abuses.

“Every two or three years, we lose someone,” says Elena Kostyuchenko, a 21-year-old investigative writer for the paper. “But you just have to write, write, write and keep writing. You have to.”

Some 16 journalists have died in contract-style slayings or under suspicious circumstances in Russia since 2000. Many more have been assaulted or threatened.

Under Vladimir Putin, who became president in 2000 and now is prime minister, the TV networks watched by most Russians were taken over by the state, their news operations highly sanitized. Big-selling newspapers are either sympathetic to the Kremlin or owned by Kremlin-allied business groups.

Of the many free-spirited papers that sprang up when the Soviet Union collapsed, Novaya Gazeta — meaning New Newspaper — is a rare survivor.

Eric Cantor on the D.C. Binge Spending

Why I voted NO by Eric Cantor

Yesterday, when the roll was called, I voted against the misnamed economic stimulus plan which ultimately passed the House.

The American economy is hurting and that means Americans are hurting. Middle class families are being hit with continuing layoffs and our retirement and college savings are being ravaged by the markets.

We should be acting boldly to preserve, protect and create jobs. We should cut taxes on small businesses and middle class families to help create jobs.

Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi has crafted a “stimulus” bill which will do little if anything to stimulate the economy. The bill presented to the House is a borrow and spend bill which would drive this years’ deficit to over 2 trillion dollars.

It is simply not accurate to describe this bill as an economic stimulus plan. It is however a massive government spending plan.

Here is some of what is currently in the plan:

  • It creates 32 new federal programs, totaling $136 billion. (37 percent of the total cost)
  • It expands 60 existing programs, mostly programs favored by the political left.
  • It spends $6 billion in corporate welfare to help broadband companies get more customers.
  • It spends $600 million to “prepare our country for universal healthcare”.
  • It spends $1 billion on Amtrak.
  • It spends $400 million on climate change research.
  • It spends $50 million on the National Endowment for the Arts.
  • It spends $3 billion on a new “prevention and wellness” fund, which includes $335 million for sexually transmitted disease education and prevention.

Every penny is passed on to our children and grandchildren in government debt and will undoubtedly lead to massive tax increases in the future.

This reckless spending is why I voted NO.

Now the bill goes to the Senate and later will come back to the House. As the process continues I will try and advance an alternative bill which I believe would unshackle the American economy and create millions of jobs.

Our plan calls for a smarter simpler stimulus plan with twice the jobs at half the cost. No waste, no delay, just jobs.

  • A 20% tax cut for small business to create jobs.
  • Across the board tax cuts for middle class families.
  • Extend bonus depreciation on small business expenses to encourage investment.
  • And, to help our neighbors who have been laid off, we want to eliminate income taxes on unemployment benefits.

This plan would stimulate the economy and create millions of new jobs.


I think most Americans know that cutting taxes on small business and middle class families will do more to stimulate the economy and create jobs than Nancy Pelosi’s massive borrowing and spending.

I will try and keep you informed as the debate in Washington continues.

Sincerely,

Eric Cantor

Democrats Behaving Badly: Illinois Governor Impeached by State Senate 59-0

Washington Post: Gov. Rod Blagojevich Delivers Remarks at Impeachment Trial

Illinois senate votes to oust Governor Blagojevich

The Illinois state senate on Thursday convicted Governor Rod Blagojevich of abuse of power, removing him from office amid charges that he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat once held by President Barack Obama.

More than two-thirds of the 59 senators, acting as a jury following the two-term Democrat’s impeachment on January 9, voted to find him guilty, effectively ousting him from office.

The vote was televised live from the state capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. Blagojevich is the first governor in Illinois history to be impeached and removed from office.

You Don’t Say! Obama Suddenly Realizes He Has Muslim Relatives

Now that he is safely elected, Barack Obama, who distanced himself from Islam like Rosie O’Donnell does to diets, suddenly admits that not only does he have “Muslim members” in his family, but he EVEN has “lived in Muslim countries.”

That’s interesting. Conservatives were excoriated for simply pointing out that Barack’s father is Muslim and that his middle name is Hussein. Oh heavens. We’re so mean.

But now that it comes out of his mouth, let me guess: Islam is an asset?

Quoth Muslim the Usurper-in-Chief:

“My job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries,” the president told Al Arabiya. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

Whatever you do, Mr. President, when speaking about America, make sure it is stated in negative terms; say nothing positive about America. Don’t claim that we’re law abiding and peaceful people as you claim Muslims are. Oh no! Tell the Islamic world that we’re not as bad as they think.

Whatever you do, don’t demand an end to the active Muslim support of violent jihad against the West. And definitely don’t point out the fact that Muslims has been bullying its neighbors for the last 1400 years and continues to bully Jews and Christians and Catholics and Hindus to this very day.

When it comes to Islam, liberals have some serious Stockholm Syndrome. Or perhaps it’s battered wife syndrome.(2)
____________________________

(1) The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28 in 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their victimizers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.

(2) The condition explains why abused people often do not seek assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe that the abuse is their fault. Such persons usually refuse to press criminal charges against their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance. Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse.

The Robber Government: Where is All That Money Going?

Everyone is talking about how much money the government is spending, but very little attention is being paid to where they are spending it or what they are buying with it.

The government is putting money into banks, even when the banks don’t want it, in hopes that the banks will put it into circulation. But the latest statistics shows that banks are lending even less money now than they were before the government dumped all that cash on them.

Michelle Obama Wardrobe the Target of Racist Whining

Politico: FLOTUS duds get backlash By NIA-MALIKA HENDERSON

[The First Lady of the United State's] inaugural outfits sent designers to their drafting tables to design knockoffs and droves went to J.Crew to get those snazzy leather green gloves. But not everyone is happy with her choices. The Black Artists Association is chiding FLOTUS for not choosing any African-American designers.

They will send a letter to FLOTUS’s office and appeal to her to include items from black designers in her wardrobe. BAA Cofounder Amnau Eele, who was a former runway model told Women’s Wear Daily:

“It’s fine and good if you want to be all ‘Kumbaya’ and ‘We Are the World’ by representing all different countries. But if you are going to have Isabel Toledo do the inauguration dress, and Jason Wu do the evening gown, why not have Kevan Hall, B Michael, Stephen Burrows or any of the other black designers do something too?”

Our color blind society, ladies and gentlemen!

Apparently it is not “fine and good” at all.

Michelle Obama can wear whichever designer she wants to wear. I don’t mean any disrespect, but it POSSIBLE she simply did not like the designs made by black designers? Is it POSSIBLE that perhaps she preferred OTHER designers regardless of their ethnicity/nationality/race/religion, etc?

Remember, Michelle Obama hates America, not black designers. Get it straight.

Obama Burdens the Economy, Auto Industry Further

Welcome to “Change” but don’t expect any “Hope.”

So far, in one week of work, Obama has already

1. Reinstituted the abomination of the Mexico City Policy which will expand abortion around the globe.

2. Seek to shut down Guantanamo Bay and aggressive interrogation.

3. Suggested that people not listen to certain radio hosts.

And the spending, spending, spending continues.

America cannot build a future on Barack Obama’s actions.

Illinois + Democrat = Narcissism

Is it something in the air in Cook County that turns politicians into shady, law breaking goons with endless arrogance?

While Barack Obama’s egomania is thick and undeniable, he’s not nearly as bad as another Illinois politico, the Governor Rod Blagojevich. Blago was caught on tape allegedly seeking to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat for lots of ca$h, which I guess is standard m.o. in his neck of the woods. Ever since he was arrested, Blago has put on a thick woe-is-me Joan of Arc act. (Except that Joan of Arc was actually innocent.)

Upon getting a phone call from federal agents, the Democrat Governor recently said “I thought about Mandela, Dr. King and Gandhi and tried to put some perspective to all this and that is what I am doing now.”

I don’t know about you, but the last people I’d be thinking about when facing incarceration is Mandela, Dr. King, and Gandhi unless I was an egomaniac like Blagojevich with a martyr complex. Why stop there, Rod? Why not insert Jesus, Buddha, Pope Benedict and the Dalai Lama into the conversation also?

The Holy See: Obama is “Arrogant”

Vatican official accuses Obama of ‘arrogance’

A senior Vatican official on Saturday attacked US President Barack Obama for “arrogance” for overturning a ban on state funding for family-planning groups that carry out or facilitate abortions overseas.

It is “the arrogance of someone who believes they are right, in signing a decree which will open the door to abortion and thus to the destruction of human life,” Archbishop Rino Fisichella was quoted as saying by the Corriere della Sera daily.

Fisichella is president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, one of a number of so-called pontifical academies which are formed by or under the direction of the Holy See.

“What is important is to know how to listen . . . without locking oneself into ideological visions with the arrogance of a person who, having the power, thinks they can decide on life and death,” he added.

Obama signed the executive order cancelling [sic]the eight-year-old restrictions on Friday, the third full day of his presidency.

The so-called “global gag rule” cut off US funding to overseas family planning clinics which provide any abortion services whatsoever, from the operation itself to counselling, referrals or post-abortion services.

Speaking of the Vatican, it is finally entering the world of technology via YouTube.

Two-Faced Obama Preaches Unity While Ripping Rush Limbaugh

Obama has been disseminating the bullshit for so long, he now appears to believe it.

How else to explain the following comments:

President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

“There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats,” the official said. “We shouldn’t let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done.”

So much for “hope” and “change.”

Here is the irony: Republicans have NOT been listening to a damn thing Rush has been saying for YEARS.

If they HAD listened to Rush, we’d probably would not have had a limp Senator McCain as the Republican nominee.

Obama breaks from Bush, avoids divisive stands By LIZ SIDOTI

Barack Obama opened his presidency by breaking sharply from George W. Bush’s unpopular [Editorialize much, Ms. Sidoti? -- Ed.] administration, but he mostly avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands. [Because Obama is not ideological. Naw. Never. -- Ed.] He focused instead on fixing the economy [which was ruined with the Democrat interference with the housing market -- Ed.] , repairing a battered world image [Being popular is always more important than doing what is right. -- Ed.] and cleaning up government [How does he plan on doing that? -- Ed.].

[...]

The flurry of activity was intended ["Intended" is right. --  Ed.] to show that Obama was making good on his promise to bring change. Yet domestic and international challenges continue to pile up, and it’s doubtful that life will be dramatically different for much of the ailing country anytime soon. [Now that Obama is safely elected, we wouldn't want people to think Obama was SERIOUS about all that "hope" and "change" shit, would we? -- Ed.] Obama’s biggest agenda items — stabilizing the economy and ending the Iraq war — are complex tasks with results not expected soon. [Right. But if Bush was in charge, then results were expected pronto. In fact, we were told that we needed TRILLIONS (with a T) of dollars to spread around to banks, corporations, and other whores. If not, the global economy would collapse and we'd all DIE! WIth Obama in charge, however, we ought not expect, you know, any results! -- Ed.]
