Indiana Vs. Miami May 25, 2013

Observations:

1. Despite LeBron James, Miami is beatable (whether they will be beaten is another matter)

2. Having Roy Hibbard in the game at the end does make a difference

3. Paul George is a very good player

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller? May 24, 2013

Former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein sees a lot of similarities between that administration and the current one in their handling of scandals, though had a couple cafeats. 

“Look, I’ve been down this road before,” Stein told Bill O’Reilly last night. ”This is just the Nixon playbook, minus all the foreign-policy experience.” Later in the interview, he added, “this is this thing happening again, only with no shame.”

Stein also said it was “ridiculous” that President Obama was unaware of the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, especially since members of his senior staff knew.

Talking Points May 24, 2013

Look, if you readers ever get tired, just go to the Left talking points

George Bush knew good and goddamned well that his contentions about Saddam having direct involvement with 9/11 were lies. 

While Chaney postulated. Bush never pushed a 9/11 link to the public. He never lied to us about a Saddam/9/11 link. And poor Hillary and Kerry, innocent dupes of that evil genius. 

It’s a wonder two naifs like them could rise to become Secretaries of State.

Count On Lefties To Take The Bait May 24, 2013

He lied to the press and saved his attacks for Iraq.

You Lefties are so predictable. I laid that one up there.

George Bush didn’t lie to the press. He said what he thought was true. It turned out not to be. He got, and believed, bad intelligence. Not good, but not lying. Of course if you want to say that was lying then his lie was supported by virtually everyone in Congress, including St. Hillary and John Kerry. Remember? I think Pelosi was also in on it. WEre they lying in 2003?

It’s different when you say something that turns out not to be true but you didn’t know it.Lois Lerner saying she had nothing to do with IRS targeting when she was writing stall letters to conservative groups is lying.    

But on another level, that really has nothing to do with What they are doing to the press now, does it? If anyone felt justified in going after the press it would have been Bush- but he didn’t BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS WRONG to subvert the press. Apparently these guys don’t. My hunch is they will pay for that. 

And by the way, even nixon didn’t trot out Vietnam and LBJ when he was trying to deflect the Watergate investigation.  

Columbo And The Trayvon Martin Case XXII May 24, 2013

Some of Trayvon’s pictures and tweets were released today.

It appears Trayvon might not have been the Boy Scout his team wanted us to believe.

This does not impact on the actual facts of the case – let’s be clear about that.

But two things you can count on- the defense will try and bring this in. You can claim racism all you want, but any responsible defense team in any case would do that. It would be irresponsible not to try and bring it in. Anyone want to go on trial and not have their defense team use this tactic? I don’t think so. by the same token, the prosecution will try and have it omitted. That’s the way the system works. Can’t work any other way.

This does say one other thing- it speaks to the lack of candor by Mr. Crump and some of the people around him.  Put simply, Trayvon was not who they said he was, and not who the media initially portrayed him as. The most interesting piece of evidence is a handwritten note, presumably by Dee Dee, written some time after teh event where she details her conversation with him. Dee Dee has already told several proven falsehoods. Let’s see what this shows. 

Did George Bush Attack The Press? May 23, 2013

If you believe for even one second that if John McCain or Mitt Romney had been president they would have done things differently where Associated Press or FOX News or anyone else was concerned, you’re kidding yourself. 

Just asking.
