Sarah once criticized Hillary for being a whiny presidential contender, arguing that women who want “to progress this country” should not complain about being under a “sharper microscope,” but instead should just work harder to prove themselves capable. Now Sarah is a whiny presidential contender, complaining about the sharper microscope that women wanting to progress this country are under and rejecting advice to work harder to prove herself capable.

The Alaskan who shot to stardom a year ago as the tough embodiment of Diana the Huntress has now stepped down as governor and morphed into what the Republicans always caricatured Hillary as — preachy, screechy and angry.

Alger Hiss became a liberal hero, an innocent who was maligned by McCarthy’s obsession. This view persisted despite persuasive evidence of his treachery. Academic chairs were set up in his honour. But this new book, having looked at all the fresh evidence, is damming. The files show that after the Yalta conference Hiss was secretly awarded the order of the Red Star during a visit to Moscow.

FCP alarmism discounted

Pepe says: the tension between fcp alarmism and its failure to materialize is amazing. OK, let's try to remedy that, and present a more hopeful story for a change, to humor Pepe:

Politics is not everything, but I believe that the shrinking probability of a new government insurance plan that would lead to nationalized health care -- along with the demise of cap-and-trade that would nationalize energy -- is very bullish for stocks. ... His whole garbled, inconsistent, and baffling defense of health care looked real bad. The president’s polls have been falling, especially on his policies. And markets see the possibility that free-market capitalism will live to see another day.

Pinko MSM in all its glory

Head-hacker school

Ulululululu, says Pepe.

Leo Tolstoy on Mathematics

In 1862, Leo Tolstoy published “War and Peace,” an epic national novel of Russia that uses individual and singular moments in peace and war to explore human universals and timeless themes. So now, as I begin page 937 (out of 1,386), or Part 11, Chapter 1, I decide to bring Tolstoy’s thoughts on mathematics (circa 1862) to bear on the FCP crowd.

After the catastrophic and near pyrrhic Russian victory over Napoleon’s forces at the Battle of Borodino just outside Moscov (Tolstoy has it taking place in late August 1812), Tolstoy ruminates on the eternity that is the universe, and how humans are incapable (or nearly incapable) of dealing with infinite, but are very capable in dealing with small segments of quantities in an historical or mathematical way. To connect the analogy with the battle, or with humanity: “The progress of humanity…” that is, after literally tens of thousands of Russian and French soldiers are annihilated, “…arising from an innumerable multitude of individual wills, is continuous in motion.” Thousands have died. But hundreds of thousands continue living. Humanity pushes on, and on, and on. But understanding this grand push requires one to study the singular.

And on mathematics, Tolstoy says, “By taking smaller and smaller units of motion we merely approach the solution of the problem, but we never attain it. It is only by assuming an infinitely small magnitude, and a progression rising from it up to a tenth, and taking the sum of that geometrical progression, that we can arrive at the solution of the problem. A new branch of mathematics [again, this written in 1862], dealing with infinitely small quantities, gives now in other more complex problems of dynamics solutions of problems that seemed insoluble.”

(page 937 of Tolstoy, “War and Peace,” Constance Garnett translations, Modern Library, 2002 printing.)

So feel free to use that as the opener in you next mathematical conference paper (just footnote me as your pro-bono, self-appointed historical and literary consultant).

Kraut puts the hammer on pinko fantasies

President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that universal coverage increases costs. The congressional Democrats’ health-care plans, says the CBO, increase costs in the range of $1 trillion plus. I mean, duhhh.

Don't mess with Tejas

Coanda vs the head-hackers

Goodfellas

The Beeb tells a story of utter, revolting greed and corruption in New Jersey. They list names of various politicians arrested. But, lo and behold, nowhere does their political affiliation appear. Sure enough, a bit of digging tells the sordid story: Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, 32, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, 64, and Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, 42, all Democrats; Jersey City Council President Mariano Vega Jr., 59; State Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, 44, a Republican from Ocean Township; and Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith, a Jersey City Democrat, were charged today in an FBI complaint. Suprise, surprise.

More like, Berezina

The special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, Neil Barofsky, this week calculated that the government rescue of the financial system could end up totaling $23.7 trillion, counting loans, grants and guarantees from the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the Fannie and Freddie rescues - the whole kit and caboodle.

To which Pepe replies: the tension between fcp alarmism and its failure to materialize is amazing. Whatever, dude. Just keep on smoking that pinko-colored weed, and you'll see la vie en rose, all the time.

Evil genius dissects socialized medicine scheme

The polls are crumbling because of a flood of bad news about Mr. Obama’s health-care proposals. One batch of such news came from a July 17 study by the Lewin Group that was commissioned by the Heritage Foundation. It projects that if the House bill becomes law, 83.4 million people—nearly half of those with private coverage—will lose private insurance as employers drop their plans. Mr. Obama’s promise that you can keep your plan is being left on the cutting room floor with nary a peep from the president. Shocka!

The ruin of the Nanny State

Evans-Pritchard lays it out: Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the US, and Japan are in varying states of fiscal ruin, and those tipping into demographic decline (unlike young Ireland) have an underlying cancer that is even more deadly. The West cannot support its gold-plated state structures from an aging workforce and depleted tax base. You don't say.

Pinko mayor tries a new costume

Mad rush

But the longer Obama’s health-care program marinates in the sun, the worse it smells. Obama’s signature line that anyone who likes his current coverage gets to keep it has been shown to be untrue in recent weeks. His rationale of passing a $1 trillion program to reduce costs is undermined every time the Congressional Budget Office analyzes a real Democratic proposal. No wonder Obama wants to close down the debate before his rating on health care — down to 49 percent in the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll — drops any farther. Duhhh...

Raptor shot down

Pepe ululates, of course. And, oddly enough, Mr Rot, too. But, it would prove quite useful over the skies of North Korea, if necessary, or in thwarting a Chinese threat in the Taiwan Straits. Gates forgets that it was high-tech "Cold War" weapons such as the stealthy F-111A that shattered Saddam Hussein's air defenses and infrastructure and controlled the skies during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq. In last year's conflict in Georgia, the Raptor was the only aircraft in our inventory that could have penetrated the defended airspace and had a chance of surviving. The F-22 Raptor is also perhaps the only plane that could evade the sophisticated S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system Russia has contracted to sell Iran. Ah, why piss up that rope, yet again?

NK Tweet: Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il states US abandonment of raptor fighter concedes US economy, air force, cannot compete with DPRK. When Pepe & Rot, and now L'il Kim, too, all agree on something, I get real suspicious. I smell a big, fat commie rat.

Cambridge surrenders to Harvard

Or, Planet Pepe surrenders to Planet Pepe. Now, that's a surprise.

Taranto tries to instill some common sense, based on a personal anecdote: Becoming belligerent with a police officer is almost never a good idea. Not only can it get you arrested, but it can cause a merely uncomfortable situation to escalate into a deadly one. You don't say. But common sense and pinko logic are totally incompatible, by definition.

You don't say.

Kraut pisses up a rope, big time

Yes, we have a financial crisis. No one’s asking for a crash Manhattan Project. All we need is sufficient funding from the hundreds of billions being showered from Washington — “stimulus” monies that, unlike Eisenhower’s interstate highway system or Kennedy’s Apollo program, will leave behind not a trace on our country or our consciousness — to build Constellation and get us back to Earth orbit and the moon a half-century after the original landing.

Global cooling, global warming, Minsk, Pinsk

When they are finally forced to admit that the globe has been cooling again, not warming, for the past decade, yet proceed to demand precisely the same remedies for "global cooling" (which they will cleverly dub "climate change") as they did for "global warming" -- that is to say higher electric bills, more government controls, taxes sufficient to cripple our industrial economy and generally lower our standard of living in keeping with the world socialist doctrine that America and particularly the "capitalist rich" must be "punished" and "made to sacrifice" in penitence for our former prosperity -- there is finally a decent chance they'll simply be laughed out of town. You'd think so? Naahhh.

It’s bad enough to learn that our intelligence operatives haven’t been able to kill our enemies. But it compounds the outrage when you broadcast that fact to the world. It’s an intelligence boon to al-Qaeda’s senior leaders when we inform them that America’s spooks can’t, or won’t, get close enough to kill them.

Of course, they're afraid Pepe & Co will keelhaul them if they as much as muff up a hair of one of the head-hackers.

I think we should have been better trained. I think there should have been more induction." IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

"We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up", "the Twin Towers bombers are heroes and martyrs", "we hate the Jews" and "we hate the Christians".

Some pupils 'expressed delight' that a child had died when a wall collapsed on him in London. When asked why, one of the children replied: 'Because he's English.' The following month, during a religious education lesson about Jonah and the whale, one of the pupils asked if Jonah was a Jew, before shouting: 'I hate the Jews, they're our enemies.'

Planet Pepe conflicted

Congress's chief budget scorekeeper cast a new cloud over Democratic efforts to overhaul the nation's health-care system, telling lawmakers Thursday that the main proposals being considered would fail to contain costs -- one of the primary goals -- and could actually worsen the problem of rapidly escalating medical spending. ... The testimony undercuts one of Mr. Obama's central arguments: that the initiative will control long-term costs for the government as well as ordinary Americans and businesses. You don't say.

A gem of Pepean logic

We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.

“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

Pepe is going meshuga.

Pinko gag rule

House rules require a bill be publicly posted for three days before it can be voted on. That basic rule was written by none other than Thomas Jefferson as part of the original rules package of the House, as it is essential to the survival of representative democracy. The House can waive that rule if it chooses on specific occasions. The Republican-controlled House chose to waive it when considering the Patriot Act in 2001 following the terror attacks of 9-11. They thought there was enough of a national defense emergency to just bring the bill to the floor for a vote. But Nancy Pelosi and her House Democrats have chosen to ignore the rule on every major issue taken up by the House this year.

Duhhh... Just get used to life on Planet Pepe. This ain't Kansas anymore.

In the meantime, the CBO says: Under current law, the federal budget is on an unsustainable path, because federal debt will continue to grow much faster than the economy over the long run. Well, duh. The standard pinko answer: shuddup, and spend.

So that's why Mr Rot has gone mum

So what's the difference between sup and sub?

Nanny state needs mucho dinero

I'm shocked, shocked! That is not a message likely to sit well with congressional Democrats or the Obama administration. Oh no? Why not? This is pinko hog heaven, after all. Tax and spend is the name of the game on Planet Pepe.

The wages of appeasement

Obama’s engagement initiative seeks to persuade the regime to accept limits on nuclear development in return for economic and political benefits. Its failure could trigger a regional arms race, increase chances of an Israeli military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and lead Iran to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz. “The U.S. administration is discovering now that that the attitude of Iranian leaders is harder to sway than they thought on the campaign trail.” You don't say.

In the meantime, Ahmadinejad issues a warning: "But I have told the enemies ... that this nation ... will strike you in the face so hard you will lose your way home." Get on all fours and grovel, Pepe. Chop, chop.

If one wishes to stimulate the economy, it makes no sense to conflate productive small businesses with financial-sector zillionaires as enemies of the people. Paying out 50 percent of one’s income in taxes may not be socialism, but paying out 70 percent surely is. Duhhh. Spread the wealth. Pinko nirvana ensues. The alpha and omega of pinko thought.

Miss Green is dubious about whether Mr Brown can deliver. “He says there’s going to be lots of changes and everything with all these kids running around here.

HuffPo comment from beyond the pale

KIM JONG II - OF FAILED DREAMS, HOPES, IDEALISM, STUBBORNESS AND SELF RELIANCE.

I read a lot about Fidel Castro, Kim Jong, Manuel Zelaya, Hugo Chavez, even Che Guevara - the latter is one of my favorite. What is it about these men that make them stand against all odds - it's refusal to bow down to Imperialistic Nations ?

Curiosity is my middle name.

There is something common about this men - early in their lives they were truly idealistic, dreamers, stubborn and, surprisingly, champion of the poor - yes, even Castro and Jong, very educated, and Leftist-Marxist Political Orientation shaped their idealism and dream.

During reciprocity week, while Jr in College, I read for the first time Jong Economic Policies, protected copies at Princeton Library, and 3 more at Wharton School of Economics. Jong has a deep understanding of Politics and Economics. He had at least 7 published Economic Reforms. Here is a biography of Jong.

Library

While he is viewed by outsiders as a cruel leader, there was a time, at age 10, when I first read his biography, and made me wonder, like Che Guervarra in a strange way, their childhood somehow met at a cross road. Both made impression to a 10-year-old girl who should have been playing jacks.

KIM JONG II - OF FAILED DREAMS, HOPES, IDEALISM, STUBBORNESS AND SELF RELIANCE 2/2

I am probably one of a billion who do not wish him ill. Nor I am here to defend him. During this difficult period in his life, I sincerely hope he makes peace with himself, and revive his young idealism, hopes and dreams for North Korea and his people - to realize his economic objectives: self reliance, prosperity, freedom, and once again a part of all Nations.

Releasing Laura Ling and Euna Lee as peace offerings, on humanitarian and diplomatic grounds would be a good tiding for the tired worn out leader - it's not impossible for one facing an Olympian feat of a disease.

To Jong II and the North Korean people - it's time to join the world.

Plumbing the depths of American meltdown

Rocker Ozzy Osbourne is devastated after his pet dog was eaten by a coyote. It is believed the 60-year-old heavy metal veteran and wife Sharon were watching the Michael Jackson memorial on Tuesday when the attack happened and did not hear the dog's yelps.

No water for Bunda

William Jefferson Clinton minus Clinton

Incidentally, Tecs, money is 'moolah' not mullah.

Right where we want them

Know thine enemy... Well we got to know them pretty well.

Life is not fair

OK, OK, Mr Rot, you win this one. E pur si muove!

Young Mr Rot goes to Italy

''During my stay in Naples I was truly libertine. I ran after girls without restraint. My blood was inflamed by the burning climate, and my passions were violent. I indulged them. My mind had almost nothing to do with it.''

But don't call him Pres. Hussein

Obscurantism on the rise

Keep them blinkers on!

It doesn't mean that wind is dead...

I'll say. Not as long as Tecs is alive...

Ricci flow

Some time ago, Mr Rot defined for me the indispensable notion of "pissin' up a rope". Here is another fine exemplar: If it is a fireable offense for sports and entertainment figures -- such as the late Los Angeles Dodger executive Al Campanis and the late oddsmaker Jimmy the Greek -- to assert that the races have inherent differences, then why is it OK for a judge to make such a bald assertion?

News you can use

Those 'No Trespassing' signs are up for important reasons. I hope this drives that message home, that it's important people stay off the tracks.

Somebody's gotta do it

Might as well give the job to someone with balls.

When commies call on God.

"I am the commander of the armed forces, elected by the people, and I ask the armed forces to comply with the order to open the airport so that there is no problem in landing and embracing with my people," Zelaya told Venezuela's Telesur network while en route. "Today I feel like I have sufficient spiritual strength, blessed with the blood of Christ, to be able to arrive there and raise the crucifix."

Why didn't they shoot this bastard last week?

Berlusconi's a genius

The only way to spend this last election night and he found it. While the rest of the reasoned race were pulling their hair out, Berlusconi found the right tone.

So they detest Obama because he won't hand his anus over enough??

Perils of passing a motorcycle

Muslims apparently angered because a Christian man driving a tractor reportedly tried to pass a Muslim on a motorcycle have rampaged in one village in Pakistan, destroying Christians' homes and throwing acid on women and children as they fled.

Reaping the whirlwind

Throwing in the towel

Great timing

New Zealand was one of the few western nations to sign on to Kyoto and then attempt to abide by it — until they realized they could only do so by destroying their economy. They introduced a Dem-style cap-and-trade regime — and last year they suspended it. In Australia, the Labor government postponed implementation of its emissions-reduction program until 2011, and the Aussie Senate may scuttle it entirely. The Obama administration has gotten to the climate-change hop just as the glitterball’s stopped whirling and the band’s packing up its instruments.

MFT's July 4th Porch...

About two hours ago I literally just finished building from top to bottom this porch for my folks (no, not in a single weekend — it took about three weekends, waiting for proper materials and such).

We had a good bbq out back this afternoon as well. Beautiful day for it, absolutely. Pepe, thanks for the French naval blockade during that Revolutionary War. And here's, once again, to our founding mothers and fathers, from Jefferson, to Paine, to Franklin, to Adams, to Washington and the whole crew. And here's another toast to today's Bravo Company, slogging it out in the suck of Afghanistan for sure.

Shit! I'm whitey now?

Goddammit.

Forgive them, Lord. They know not what they say...

"We are saddened and shocked to hear the news of Steve McNair's passing today," Titans owner Bud Adams said in a statement.

Redefining randomness

The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.

Who couldn't see this coming?

Shit, VDH is pissing on so much rope that the Navy wants to lock him up.

Look Victah, Obama didn't even want democracy to win the day next door in Iraq when our guys were dying there for it. Who gives a shit about a couple Shias, anyway? They won't bomb anyone but whitey anyway.

I think we should just be nice to them.

Burka Banning Doesn't Go Far Enough for MFT (see below)

On a similar note (in the thematic head-cover realm), I once asked a white guy where he purchased his ballcap. I was curious because the young man's cap had a brim that slanted approximately 19 degrees slightly to the left, and I told him all I could find were the caps with the brims going either straight to the front or the back.
