The Nation of Idiots

This Presidential election is unserious. The deep issue is that Obama is a 'beard' for other forces, starting with his resentful wife who, I suppose, was a big motive for their adherence to the race-baiting Pastor Wright. But they have a neighbour in south Chicago who's a finer orator and finer mind than Wright. When you vote for Obama, know the company you keep...Hamas, big black bodyguards in Nation of Islam uniforms and shades, a leader in white. The tectonic plates of politics are shifting in favour of the young, fertile, sober, religious, organized, determined, Führerprinzip-driven, undemocratic groups which use the freedom of the West to destroy the freedom of the West. There is no shortage of useful idiots: academics as ever, rich liberals yearning for a yuppie messiah to fill their spiritual nothingness, blacks long trained to vote as a block and full of fake victimhood, the media, the always gullible j-school special forces, specialists in selectio veri and suggestion falsi. What you see is what you get:

Downfall

H/t an Obama supporter. Lots of swearing, but I can't help myself either:

Downfall is a good movie with a phenomenal central performance by Bruno Ganz, tho too much time spent on the attractive secretaries emoting at the Fuhrer's meltdown. What an irony that the external scenes were shot in St Petersburg/Leningrad which resembled Berlin thanks to the German architects who built in St Petersburg.

Is Boris Goodenough? Still waiting.

More reaction to the UK local government elections:

UPDATE: It's 7.30pm. Still no result, but a strong presumption that Boris will triumph. Since it's on my doorstep, I nipped down to poke around. I just took this shot of a tiny Anarchist demo in front of City Hall. I chatted with a grungy anarchist from Sweden, but his thinking conformed to liberal/socialist/anarcho sterotype: little verbal tricks trotted out instead of thought. Honestly, there should be no representation without taxation and no right to vote for childless under 25's either (military excepted).

UPDATE:  Boris has won!

Is Boris Goodenough?

The votes are still being counted to elect the next Mayor of London. It's between Red Ken and Blonde Boris. Ken can only hang on by virtue of a high turnout of the Islamic block vote. Boris would increase the gaiety of nations and scrape away some of the pc gunge that infects politics.

Most results are in from the rest of the country's local government contests. Labour's getting trashed by the Conservatives, a good omen for Boris, but very, very bad for Gordon Brown. Brown may be defenestrated over the next few months to be replaced by David Miliband, boy wonder Foreign Secretary. It looks a dead cert that within 2 years we'll have a Conservative government led by the world-class creep, David Cameron.

I took this snap of the top of City Hall from my living room just now. Near top right there's an interview being shot. I can watch it simultaneously on tv.

Here's a Boris clip to while away the tense hours. Hilarity starts 3 minutes in:

'An armed society society is a polite society'

I'm a Londoner who survived living in Houston, plays soccer in Harlem and often braves the sinister suburbs of northern New Jersey with my little girls (they seem strangely nonchalant),so I was struck by this article, America's 'safety catch' from the BBC's N.American editor:

Why is it then that so many Americans - and foreigners who come here - feel that the place is so, well, safe?

I have met incredulous British tourists who have been shocked to the core by the peacefulness of the place
A British man I met in Colorado recently told me he used to live in Kent but he moved to the American state of New Jersey and will not go home because it is, as he put it, "a gentler environment for bringing the kids up."

This is New Jersey. Home of the Sopranos.

Brits arriving in New York, hoping to avoid being slaughtered on day one of their shopping mission to Manhattan are, by day two, beginning to wonder what all the fuss was about. By day three they have had had the scales lifted from their eyes.

I have met incredulous British tourists who have been shocked to the core by the peacefulness of the place, the lack of the violent undercurrent so ubiquitous in British cities, even British market towns.

I confess a sneaky pleasure at the advertised edginess of London life, tho the truth is more humdrum.

H/T Biased BBC.

FOBs

Friends of Barack share a theme....blame America, damn America, bomb America. Maureen Dowd writes:

Asked about his friendly relationship with the former Weather Underground anarchist William Ayers — an association that The Wall Street Journal suggests could turn into the Swift Boat of 2008 given Ayers’s statement that “I don’t regret setting bombs; I feel we didn’t do enough” — Obama defended him with a line that only the eggheads orbiting his campaign could appreciate. Ayers, he said, is “a professor of English in Chicago.”

Maureen Dowd coyly omits that the source of the Ayers quote is an interview in the New York Times to publicise his book Fugitive Days. You can look it up, it's dated 9/11/2001.

The scum de la scum

1. The President has boss/intern sex, cigar sex, messy dress sex, oval sex in the Oral Office sex;

2. Commits perjury about it;

3. Admits it when his semen is dna'd;

4. Holds breakfast prayer meetings in the White House. "I have sinned. My truth is I'm a horny American." 

5. The pic is Rev. Goddamnamerica Wright stifling a giggle as Clinton demonstrates the Presidential sinning finger.

In providing the photograph to The New York Times, the Obama campaign appeared to be trying to divert some attention to the Clintons after a week in which Mr. Obama’s relationship with Mr. Wright has left him facing one of the biggest challenges of his campaign.

6. Michael Moore:

I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!"

But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. She's been through enough hurt. And so he remains silent and takes the mud she throws in his face.

 America, I'm going to clap my hands and you will wake up. Clintons,Wright,Obama,Moore, these people are grotesques, bright, shining, strutting grotesques. It's not politics as normal, it's fart in your face farce. What do you need? Stick-on noses, clown shoes, Krusty the Clown as running mate? 

Gestank Gestalt

Scheiße! Factory farming is disgusting in every way, a black mark against homo sapiens ('sapiens' gadzooks!), but here's an angle on the horror. The Germans are pointing their muck at us and laughing about it!

Man:

An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.

Londonistan

Anne posts on the election for Mayor of London in which I shall vote for Boris Johnson. Boris is a shambolic, intelligent, un-pc, conservative who laughs a lot and is the cause of mirth in others. Here's part of his election manifesto from the video 'Boris Johnson v Germany"


At issue in this election is whether is whether the Islamic bloc vote controls London politics as in "Suicide bomb backer runs Ken's campaign" - rather amazing in a city that's endured Islamic terrorism at close quarters. Livingstone is a fellow-traveller of Castro, Chavez, Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRA who gets the votes of Moslems, homosexuals, public sector workers and trade unionists. This sceptred isle..

First Lady snippets

Michelle Obama

[She] lacks placidity, which is, actually, necessary. All first ladies, first spouses, should be like Denis Thatcher, slightly dazed, mildly inscrutable, utterly supportive. It is the only job in the world where "seems slightly drugged" is a positive job qualification. The key is to know you are not the drama, you do not draw the lightning, you are a background player who yet has deep, unseen power. (The "deep, unseen power" part keeps you serene and energized. The constant possibility of quiet revenge keeps one peppy.)

Michelle Obama

major in sociology and minor in African American studies at Princeton University, where she graduated cum laude with an Artium Baccalaureus in 1985. As part of her requirements for graduation, she wrote a thesis entitled, "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community." ...

Following law school, she was an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin where she first met her husband. At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property. Subsequently, she held public sector positions in the Chicago city government as an Assistant to the Mayor and Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. In 1993, she became Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies

Cindy McCain

In Phoenix, she had been her high school's rodeo queen, sporting a cowboy hat complete with a crown. After earning education degrees at the University of Southern California (which Sen. McCain has called "University of Spoiled Children"), she became a special-needs teacher.

She also got involved in the beer distributorship started by her father. Art Pearce, who worked at his own family's company, a Coors distributor in Phoenix, frequently ran into her at industry events. "You could tell by her air that she was very proud of her family's business...."

In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh. Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with a severe cleft palate; the senator's wife did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted the girl, named her Bridget, and has seen her through some dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and resolve other medical problems.

Michelle Obama

"And let me tell you something: For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country."

Cindy McCain

"I am proud of my country."
