The following exerpt is from a speech recently given by John Derbyshire:
John Derbyshire Via (vdare.com)   […] Mainstream Conservatism, like any other kind of Conservatism, is up against a very formidable foe. Because of my own professional background as a systems analyst, I think of that foe as “the installed base.”
Imagine you are hired in with a team of computer specialists to give a bank a computerized system for running its books. The job would be pretty easy if you could start from scratch, with a bank that had nothing but paper record-keeping—or better still, with a new-founded bank that had no established system of record-keeping at all.
Unfortunately things are rarely like that. The bank you are contracted to already has a computer system. It’s been in use for years, and it’s a mess. The databases are festooned with redundancies and contradictions, the code is unreadable, and the users have to do time-wasting work-arounds to deal with all the anomalies.
Everyone’s used to this creaking, leaking old system, though, and comfortable with it. They know its faults, but they know how to cope with them, like an old married couple. They resent you coming in and imposing new methods on them. (more…)

“Keep Hope A Lie”

(The Hill) — President Obama’s reelection campaign is making a determined and carefully calibrated effort to boost enthusiasm among black voters, a group that could swing the election in key battleground states.

Polls have Obama winning more than 90 percent of the black vote against Mitt Romney, but there are signs that the high African-American turnout that fueled his 2008 victories in North Carolina and Virginia could dissipate after the hard realities of the president’s first term.
The chances for depressed turnout are increased by the bad economy, which at its worst drove the unemployment rate for blacks above 16 percent and led to some disillusionment with the candidate of “hope and change.” (more…)

Inquiring minds want to know.   Perhaps if you twitter we might want to ask Natalie Jackson esq., and maybe Parks and Crump, or Ryan Julison, or Jeff Weiner even. (more…)

I just knew there was something seriously not right about Mark NeJame.  But I had NO idea it was actually this bad.  Orlando Most Powerful list #26 – 2009

Perhaps “fear” is actually stronger than Sunlight – Sunlight might dull the appearance of a Tattoo, but “Fear” actually removes it.

Too much newly unearthed research to cover in one substantive and digestible thread.  So let us once again consider this Part 1 in a two-part series.   Part 1 dealing with Gang Membership, Parenting–or the lack thereof–and gang affiliation.   With Part 2 dealing with The Masonic Connection and research into Tracy Martin/Brandi Green’s “ACTUAL and TRUTHFUL” whereabouts on Saturday February 25th and Sunday February 26th.

 “Crippin’ is a choice, but it’s forever. You may slow down, but you will always be down forever.”

It started with trying to figure out why Traydaddy, Tracy Martin, changed his neck tattoo sometime between March 22nd and March 26th.   Perhaps Trayvon’s other Ghost-Daddy, President Barack Obama, …”if I had a son, he would look like Trayvon”, coming out four square on the side of Team Skittles had something to do with the need to clean up the image.  I mean, it would certainly appear, well, odd, if Barack Obama was ghost parent to a “gang banger”.

Prior to March 22nd Tracy Martin proudly displayed the following neck tattoo:

 It appears to say “CaT” in scrolled tattoo script.

Sometime between 3/22 and 3/26 the tattoo was redone, “CaT” was covered up and it was made to look like this: (more…)

CNN TRANSCRIPT: 7/13/12

And now, new developments tonight in the case against George Zimmerman. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara has filed a motion to disqualify the judge. Kenneth Lester is his name and Mark O’Mara says he’s biased against Zimmerman. He said this after he made what O’Mara is called gratuitous and disparaging remarks in his bail order last week.
Including and I quote, “Under any definition, the defendant has flouted the system.” And, I quote again, “The defendant has tried to manipulate the system when he has been presented the opportunity to do so.” Those and other remarks are what the defense says will prevent Zimmerman from getting a fair trial.
CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame is OUTFRONT.
Mark, do those statements, flouted the system and manipulating the system, do you agree with Mark O’Mara, that those are gratuitous and disparaging? Or are those fair ways to describe someone who when asked if he had money said no and he really did have money?
MARK NEJAME, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: I think it’s a fair comment from a court who’s evaluating the evidence, one can agree or disagree. But you can’t throw a judge off every time you disagree with him because basically you’d have half the judges thrown off at any given time, because somebody typically is going to be on the other side.
The fact is, is that, you know, the question will be did the judge go too far to suggest that he’s in fact, might be biased? I don’t think the judge is biased at all. (more…)

I’m very good at math, so I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my numerical capabilities. Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough: it is my very favorite movie ever.
DO NOT cheat and look at the movies. Do YOUR math, THEN compare the results to the list of movies at the bottom. You will be AMAZED at how scary true and accurate this test is.
1. Pick a number from 1-9.
2. Multiply by 3.
3. Add 3.
4. Multiply by 3 again.
5. Now add the two digits of your answer together to find your favorite movie (of all time) in the list of 17 movies below:
