Well, it looks like this was another one of those just too good to be true stories.  According to Snopes, this article was “incorrectly attributed” to Cosby, and Cosby’s own site features a denial of it.  It was written by Robt. A Hall, former Massachusetts state senator.  Well heck, it’s still a good rant so I’m leaving it up.

“I’m 83, and I’m Tired”…

*H/T to Bijou….
I’m 83. Except for brief period in the 50’s when I was doing my National Service, I’ve worked hard since I was 17. Except for some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn’t call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I’m tired. Very tired.

I hate to see this happen folks, but in this hearing the state set the defense up for a tactical trap, and because George And Shelly had lied to the court, and allowed their attorney Mark O’Mara to be in the dark, they set themselves up for this. There is no doubt when you look at the state’s evidence presented to Judge Lester that George and Shelly Zimmerman specifically engaged in an act of deception. They lied; and not only did they lie to the court, but they compromised their attorney by misleading him too.

The Motion to revoke the BOND is HERE pdf  Which also includes the transcripts from the phone calls between George and Shelly, and the State’s proof of their specific and intentional collusion to lie to the court, including their credit union bank statements from April 19th (the day before the bond hearing) where they show the Zimmerman’s had specific access to to $135,000 + in funds.

Bernie De la Rionda Calls Shelly Zimmerman a LIAR.

O’Mara Discusses…

[…]  At Friday’s court hearing, De la Rionda and O’Mara also asked a judge to stop  the public release of witness names and statements made by Zimmerman to police  officers. Those documents normally are part of the public record under Florida  law. (more…)

Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson hold celebratory press conference giddy with glee and very pleased with themselves.   Trayvon family lawyers say the revocation is proof that George Zimmerman is a liar and a murderer.
SANFORD, Fla. –  A judge has revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester said Friday that George Zimmerman misled the court about how much money he had available when his bond was set for $150,000 in April. Prosecutors claim Zimmerman had $135,000 available that had been raised by a website he set up.
Prosecutors also say he failed to surrender a second passport.  The defense says the finances are an innocent misunderstanding.  (more from earlier)

Wisdom of Sharon (which I agree with 100%):

If he deliberately misrepresented the facts, it makes sense that his bond should be revoked, because he becomes a flight risk.  No doubt because he was terribly frightened and frustrated.  If that is what he did, I certainly won’t wring my hands over the judge’s decision.  We used to be a nation of laws, and I’m in favor of us being a nation of laws.

[Hattip Sharon] There’s not much more I can say about Prez SCOAMF’s actions, here. Well, actually, there’s a lot I can say, but it would inevitably end with me frothing at the mouth and chewing the furniture, and fixing that sort of damage is out of my budget right now. . .
From Riehl World View: . . .

The claim is that a decision by the Obama administration put a political speech meant to bolster his chances at re-election, above the desires, traditions and practices of many Vietnam-era military members and their families, who have been coming together at The Wall on Memorial Day for decades, now. No notice was given regarding the closing due to Obama’s decision to use The Wall as backdrop in his Memorial Day speech.
Sources insist it remained closed for hours, until most simply grew frustrated and went away. For decades, individuals have been coming together there on Memorial Day to perform simple acts and observances in keeping with America’s established Memorial Day tradition.

Prepare yourself.  The fight against the Left-Wing Orcs is gonna get ugly.  Real Ugly.  The first battle is Wisconsin. 

(WSJ) — Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership — by more than half for the second-biggest union — since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions.
Now with Mr. Walker facing a recall vote Tuesday, voters will decide whether his policies in the centrist state should continue — or whether they have gone too far.  The election could mark a pivot point for organized labor.  (more)

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, May 31, 2012 — Five months ahead of the presidential election, the Democratic Party is already losing seats to Republicans, as a growing number of elected officials are changing parties over issues like the right to life, the definition of marriage, and the Obama administration’s mandate that religious institutions cover abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans.
Wednesday afternoon, seven local office-holders from three Mississippi counties announced they had voted with their feet.
Each official had different reasons, but Leake County Sheriff Greg Waggoner “specifically said when [Obama] came out in favor of gay ‘marriage,’ that was the last straw,” Brett Kittredge, communications director of the Mississippi Republican Party, told LifeSiteNews.com.
“I’m a Christian, and my first allegiance is to Jesus Christ,” Sheriff Waggoner said. “God established marriage, and He established it between a man and a woman. Those are my beliefs. The Republican Party reflects my beliefs.” (more…)

What is wrong with this article (screen shot below) from CBS-DC ?  It’s subtle but what they are doing is specifically intentional.   Can you see it?

The CBS article is about Alexander Kinyua, the man who killed his roommate and ate part of his heart and liver.   But the accompanying picture that goes along with the article shows a white male in handcuffs.    Why? (more…)

Has anyone seen or heard anything from Samantha Power?    This new direction being considered is so far beyond hypocritical, the light from where hypocritical starts would never even catch them.
Just think, it was not long ago when Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Senator Obama, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, et al were foaming at the mouth and seething toward George Bush for contemplating unilateral military action with out UN support.   Those aforementioned progs were demanding UN authorization before Bush could take military action.   Yet, in typical leftist prog fashion, they are now discussing the exact same thing.
And that does not even begin to consider the stupidity surrounding the very “rebels” they are trying to help being specifically known as al-Qaeda operatives implanted into the Syrian resistance.

SYRIA – Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, bluntly criticised Russia’s continued backing for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime yesterday. This support was illustrated last night by the disclosure that a Russian cargo ship carrying weapons had docked in Syria last Saturday, one day after the massacre in Houla which claimed at least 108 civilian lives.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
