CHRIS CHRISTIE RECONSIDERS or CHRIS CHRISTIE REDUX--AGAIN!

Unlike the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara playing romantic peekaboo games with numerous suitors in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind (GWTW), there's something creepy  about Chris Christie playing a coy courtesan as he flirts with running for President.  At least with Scarlett, there was a definite strategy in playing one suitor against another.  She could land a wealthy husband and nobody  got hurt, i.e., no taxpayers were harmed in the making of GWTW.  But Christie's political-eye-batting-come-on seems downright narcissistic and indecisive.  His umpteenth denial that he's running will come at a press conference today.  The last thing we should want in a President is an indecisive narcissist.  Why you might ask?  We've been there, done that, and don't want to do it again in 2012.  But at least Christie isn't wearing Mom Jeans as he flirts shamelessly with party elders and big time GOP donors.  Way back when Presidents didn't regularly "dis" the country, my Dad worked with a retired Navy man from Alabama. "The Captain" as he was known, was a crafty marketing guy that used to describe upcoming "dog and pony shows" to potential customers  as an opportunity "to open up the kimono and tantalize them a bit!"  "The Captain" knew a little bit about skillful salesmanship.  This is not the case with Chris Christie.

The usual reason given for the intense interest in Christie is that the current GOP Presidential field is weak.  Query: As compared to what?  Obama has become in two and one half insufferable years the worst President ever.  The previous holder of the title, Jimmy Carter looks downright statesmanlike in comparison, but not quite enough to erect billboards saying "Miss me?"  Funny thing, but the only people that seem to be disappointed in the Republican field are the leftist pundits and water carriers for Barack Hussein Obama.  Personally, I like this field because all of them are far more capable than Obama.  Even the eccentric Ron Paul has his merits.  In the GOP primary process, it may turn out that while you might not vote for a particular candidate for President, a lot of them would make strong cabinet members, i.e.,  a good management team.  I could easily see Michele Bachmann as Commissioner of the IRS.  Herman Cain would make a good Secretary of Commerce. Mitt Romney would make either a good Secretary of the Treasury or better yet, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.  There's a lot of common sense in the GOP field.  But more importantly, there's experience that goes beyond the posting of handbills on telephone poles announcing a community gripe session.  Unlike the current occupant of the White House, all of these current candidates also have solid records of regularly showing up for work.

We can't say that we've got a good management team in Obama, his VP Biden,  or his Cabinet.  Vice-President Joe Biden is, to paraphrase former VP John Nance Garner's comment about the Vice-Presidency, "...not worth a bucket of warm spit." (According to Sydney Blumenthal, as cited in Wikipedia, Garner actually said "warm piss."  That sounds more like what a hard core Texan like Garner would have said. )   It's also a cruel cosmic joke to have tax cheat Tim Geithner running the Treasury department, which by the way, includes the IRS.  At least two of Obama's appointees are ardent admirers of mass murderer Mao Zedong.  Eric Holder is a joke as the U.S. Attorney General, i.e., Holder is to the law what woodpeckers are to carpentry.  He should be immediately sent away to some backwoods hollow to be a Judge Roy Bean-like dispenser of injustice.  

But is Christie the answer to our current national malaise?  Well, until Christie shows a little more than what's inside his slightly open kimono, (I know it's bad optics), we'll just have to let the process play itself out.  Let's also hope that the Democrats and the Main Stream Media presstitutes won't be picking a GOP caninedate in 2012, just as they did in 1996 and 2008.  We'll see today at Christie's press conference at 1 p.m., EDT whether or not he'll be running for "Best in Show" in 2012.  But don't think that this flirtation is over.

THE CAVALCADE of IDIOTS--YOUR TAX DOLLARS at WORK (sic) :-(

1. Overly-compensated snivel servant and Chi-Com toadie Michael Posner of the State Department idiotically told his Red Chinese counterparts at a human rights conference that the US had human rights problems of its own and cited Arizona's controversial new immigration law as an example of "racial discrimination."  This is yet another sorry example of the wussy pussy foreign policy of the Kenyan Usurper, an America hater.  The Chinese took a cue from Posner and began banging on the Arizona law.  That's right, the murderers of nearly 100 million people, the oppressors of Tibet, the abortion murderers of female infants, and suppressors of free speech are criticizing Arizona for human rights violations!  Has the world turned sideways on its axis?  The socialist/communist/fascist/liberal zoo is filled with very strange denizens.

2.  Why is Broke Whoisinsane Obama being given a pass by the Lame Stream Media for doing absolutely NOTHING regarding the BP oil spill?  Bush caught hell from the Lame Stream Media for the incompetence of Governor "Blank Brain" Blanco  and Mayor "No Noggin" Nagin, both Democrooks.  But not the petulant man child Obama, the press is practicing the soft bigotry of lame excuses and no expectations for the "historic" Presidency of Obama. 

When the Exxon Valdeeeeez (I prefer the correct Spanish pronounciation of Valdez) caused a major oil spill that the Federal government pitched in and helped with the clean-up.  Not now!  All the Kenyan Usurper Obama has done in response to the crisis is to keep the "foot on the throat of BP."  In addition, Obama hypocritically accuses BP and its cohorts of bad deeds.  Indeed.

Yet, Obama's Keystone Cop henchman last year gave the BP oil drilling platform an award for safety!  But now all of a sudden there's a safety issue?  Sounds like a set-up to me.  Just like the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant where the Hollywood Liberal-Fascists used the movie The China Syndrome to whip up public sentiment against nuclear power plants.  How convenient that the nuclear accident happened so soon after the movie's release.  These Liberal-Fascists would throw their Grannies under the bus if it advanced their agenda.   


But with the help of the Blame Stream Media they will probably blame Bush, Cheney, and Halliburton for the oil spill.  Well, there's an old Chinese that says, "The accusing finger is never a part of the helping hand."   I guess Obama's purpose is not to serve the public, but to exploit a crisis for his Liberal-Fascist agenda.  He has now set up a commission to investigate (read cover-up) the BP Oil Gulf of Mexico spill. 

You shouldn't believe a damn thing that this Liberal-Fascist crypto-criminal posse puts forward.  It also wouldn't be surprising if there was some leftist complicity in the oil rig platform explosion.  (Not unlikely if you consider the Three Mile Island and oil spill off of Santa Barbara, California in 1969, that effectively stopped off-shore oil drilling.)  The explosion came conveniently after announcement by Obama that there would be studies about off shore drilling.  One Liberal Fascist talking head is alleged to have said in effect that, "God is a Democrat because he gave us the oil spill."  Never let a crisis go to waste, as White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel has said.  Well sieg heil Black Hitler, your desires seem to be coming true.  Can you say Reichstag Fire?

3.  Talk about the audacity of dopes, Richard Blumenthal, Attorney General of Connecticut and Democrook caninedate for the Senate seat of departing Democrook Chris Dodd has been caught apparently lying about his service in Viet Nam.  Democrooks have come to the rescue by offering this lame response:

Its no surprise Republicans would want to smear the Attorney General, considering all of the debauchery at the WWF under Linda McMahon's [Note: McMahon is the Republican candidate for the Senate seat and wife of WWE owner Vince McMahon] watch. Unlike others, Dick Blumenthal served his country, enlisted and served six months at Parris Island, SC, and six years in the reserves.

Blumenthal only joined the reserves after his five draft deferments ran out and his low draft lottery number put an express ticket to Viet Nam in his back pocket.  Like the career women that got abortions in the 1970s and 1980s, things like the draft and "unwanted" pregnancies were an inconvenience to these hard charging career Baby Boomers. Looking at the Democrook response to Blumenthal's lie, you see the the self-absorbtion and self-centeredness of a typical Baby Boomer schmuck like Blumenthal. 


BTW, who cares what goes on in the WWE?   It's fluff sports entertainment.  Unless you are a mark or smark it doesn't affect your daily lives.   Hollywood--a bastion of debauchery--is the Liberal-Fascist stronghold of debauchery.  How about some well deserved contempt pointed in that direction?  And finally, why is this Liberal-Fascist schmuck's military reserve service more valid that George W. Bush's Air National Guard experience?  I guess Liberal Fascist pigs get a pass for anything they do or lie about.  Although Democrook radio talk show shill Bill Press did express dismay at Blumenthal's lies about his military service.

4.  I grew up with the admonition from my parents to think before I spoke.  Nowadays maybe the admonition should be READ before you speak.  The recent revelations that US Attorney General Eric "Dumbo" Holder, Janet "Incompetano" Napolitano, and Barack Odumbo have not read the ten page Arizona immigration law is not surprising.  All three of these political ideologues and other voluntary illiterates of the Obama administration have popped off about the "evils" and "racism" of the Arizona law.  With Obama it's understandable because he is a grossly incompetent ideologue and former community organizer.  He may be crook clever, but given his political bent it's doubtful that the man has the ability to actually comprehend  the intent of the Arizona statute.   As a key to Odumbo's judgment and temperament Rep. Steve King, (R-IA) put it best when he said:

When he had an Irish cop and a black professor, who'd he side with? And he jumped to a conclusion [Note: Obama thought that the white cop was in the wrong.] without having heard the facts, and he ended up having to have a beer summit. The President of the United States has got to articulate a mission, and instead he's playing race-bait games to undermine the law enforcement in the state of Arizona and across the country.

Too bad that there isn't a ground for impeachment for gross incompetence and stupidity.  I totally reject the bullshit Liberal Facsist (read big Hitler lie) propaganda that Obama is the smartest man ever to be elected President.  That honor rightfully belongs to John Quincy Adams.  Obama has nothing on the record to prove his intelligence or his US  citizenship except his two crappy autobiographies.  His sealed records from cradle to present don't prove either his intelligence or his citizenship.  Let's all vote this November for an overwhelming Conservative/Tea Party majority in Congress that can impeach this Kenyan Usurper.

Prison Broke, the Series

Arnold Swarzenegger has suggested that California might ease its budgetary crisis by paying Mexico to build prisons to house some 20,000 illegal immigrant prisoners.  He also believes that California should consider outsourcing prison services to the private sector.  According to CorpWatch: The largest provider of private prison facilities in the United States is Corrections Corporation of America (CCA).  Excellence in Corrections is CCA's motto.  You have to admit that their sales pitch (website) is pretty slick.  But what does "excellence in corrections" really mean?  Would recidivism be reduced; or would the real measure of success be a lower cost to house an exploding prison population? 

A hundred years ago private prisons were a familiar feature of American life, with disastrous consequences. Prisoners were farmed out as slave labor. They were routinely beaten and abused, fed slop and kept in horribly overcrowded cells. Conditions were so wretched that by the end of the nineteenth century private prisons were outlawed in most states.

The modern concept of the penitentiary was born in 1779, when John Howard introduced the Penitentiary Act to correct the abuses that Howard had documented in his report, The State of Prisons in England and Wales.  Under Howard's concept, prisoners were expected to work long hours in heavy manual labor during the day and be confined in individual cells at night to meditate upon penitence or remorse over their bad deeds. 

But prison management means different things to different people.  The out-of-control fascist US Attorney General Eric Holder is  currently persecuting Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio for alleged civil rights violations.  Holder's Department of Justice has become the Department of Injustice and may as well be staffed by the National Lawyers Guild or the ACLUseless. There's also the very real possibility that Arpaio and some of his staff might be indicted by a Federal grand jury looking into alleged abuses of power by Arpaio.

 

Proverbial ham sandwiches aside, forcing inmates to wear pink underwear and live in tents is made to sound like the second coming of Abu Gharib, but only if you're so inclined to believe the Liberal-Fascist vermin press and other Leftist America haters.  The above-cited Wikipedia article on Abu Gharib is rife with undocumented  allegations written in the style of the average Daily Kos kook.  This is in line with the general m.o. of the Left, which is to lie and then lie some more.  I've yet to meet a Liberal Fascist ideologue that ever told the complete truth about anything or anyone they are opposed to.   

The 19th Century English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham designed  a prison building, which  he called the Panopticon.   The key feature of the building is that prisoners can be simultaneously watched.  Although the Panopticon was not constructed, according to the Wikipedia article on the subject, the the design had an important influence upon later generations of thinkers. Twentieth-century French philosopher Michel Foucault argued that the Panopticon was paradigmatic of a whole raft of nineteenth-century 'disciplinary' institutions.  Ironically, the former Mexican prison,  Palacio de Lecumberri in Mexico City, Mexico was inspired by the Panopticon.  It now houses the General National Archive.

It's not beyond the span of possibilities that a privately run prison might take on the clinical coldness of Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange in which experimentation with behaviorial modification techniques in prisons  might become commonplace.  Moreover, the temptation to make a prison even more profitable could result in a fascist gulag mentality in which common decency becomes an afterthought. Prisoners could be rented out to big Pharma for drug experimentation, used for dangerous projects, slave labor, or even for organ transplants.  The possibilites for predatory socialist commercialism is frightening.

There is always the temptation to let the private sector take over government services or for politicians to say that they will run government "like a business."  There isn't a more boneheaded concept floating around the political arena.  Governments are not profit making entities.  Core government services such as law enforcement, fire protection,  code enforcement, zoning, and yes, prisons are the  responsibility of government and not CPAs or Harvard MBAs.

One last question Arnie, how we gonna pay for building prisons in Mexico?  Did you instead ever think of billing Mexico and other countries for the cost of maintaining their wayward citizens on the oppressed California taxpayer's dime? No, of course not.  Pinhead politicians seldom have any good ideas--just the really stupid ones.
