10/29 Hurricane Sandy


Oh the wind is lashing lustily
And the trees are thrashing thrustily
And the leaves are rustling gustily
So it’s rather safe to say…
That it seems it may turn out to be
It feels that it will undoubtedly
It looks like a rather blustery day, today
It sounds that it may turn out to be
Feels that it will undoubtedly
Looks like a rather blustery day today
[Re-Elect Obama] Last night, the Obama campaign was sending email requests into Annapolis, Maryland, for help with phone-banking. The time? 5:30 pm, right when Sandy is supposed to be at its worst there. (more…)
WE GOT THIS – Team Obama must be having fits right now. Hollywood going batty thinking about all the money they poured into their guy who is going down in flames…. Obama/Biden crashing simultaneous to Romney/Ryan Surging.
(TheHill) Mitt Romney gained a point over President Obama, according to a Gallup daily tracking poll released Monday, and now holds a healthy 5-percentage-point national lead.
Romney took 51 percent support in the poll of likely voters, compared to 46 percent for Obama.
The GOP nominee also pulled even with Obama among registered voters, 48 percent to 48, after trailing by a point on Sunday. The survey is a rolling seven-day average through Oct. 28, so it has almost fully digested voter sentiment since last Monday’s third and final presidential debate. (more…)
[WSJ] The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday’s October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week’s federal elections. (more…)
Last year we tried to send a little refuge warning beacon to anyone who would pay attention. Our warning was to underscore why OUR national leadership on both sides of the aisle was failing us. Few paid attention. Today we are facing the consequences from those short-sighted decisions. Here is the concern we shared in Sept. of 2011:
[September 7th 2011] For several months my fears about the collapse of the Libyan regime have been heightened with the thought of all the Libyan arms being dispatched to all of our enemies throughout the middle east.
Six months ago the first reports of Missiles, WMD (mustard gas), and SAM’s being sold and traded to hostile forces of the West were confirmed. There is no substantive reason to believe these missiles will not leave the Middle East and be used against the West. Indeed, if a prudent consideration is applied exactly the opposite should be anticipated. (more…)
(From Douglass J Hagman @CFP) According to the U.S. government, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed during a spontaneous protest at the consulate office in Benghazi by a frenzied crowd of Muslims outraged over an obscure internet video. Recently released “sensitive but not classified e-mails” from Stevens to the U.S. Department of State painted a picture of poor security for U.S. personnel and the embassy, which was obviously true but had little to do with the events of September 11, 2012.
The failure to dispatch an extraction team or otherwise rescue the men during a firefight that lasted upwards of nine grueling and tortuous hours was not the result of any intelligence failure, but caused by our unwillingness to widen the conflict and expose the nature and scale of our true mission in Benghazi.

But the Dear Leader loving U.S. Media is furiously working to beat back the fire…

Dionysius (II) was a fourth century B.C. tyrant of Syracuse, a city in Magna Graecia, the Greek area of southern Italy.
To all appearances Dionysius was very rich and comfortable, with all the luxuries money could buy, tasteful clothing and jewelry, and delectable food.
He even had court flatterers (adsentatores) to inflate his ego.
One of these ingratiators was the court sycophant, Damocles. Damocles used to make comments to the king about his wealth and luxurious life. (more…)
