Spot on statement in reference to our Dear Leader
By way of Leslie Bates comes this spot on observation:
We should stop the comparisons [of Barak H. Obama] to Hitler. At least Hitler got the Olympics to come to Berlin.
Friday B-Movie Pick: Frank & Jesse
Back in the early 1990’s, I worked on a project that produced the first commercial grade digitial video servers. One of our customers was the largest pay per view company in Canada. During the early days of their role out, we would digitize and preview their films for quality purposes. Needless to say, I saw a lot of B-Movies while working on that project. Frank and Jesse was one of those.

Ya, ya, it’s Friday already. Various technical difficulties slowed down posting this week. Nothing major, and I’m back on track. B-Movie pick will show up later….
Arguing with Idiots by Glenn Beck
That candy munching, round faced former acoholic is at again. This time, he’s dressing up as “the Book Czar” and telling you to buy his book. Fact filled and organized to counter the pretty consistantly fact free arguments of the typical leftiest. No wonder they hate this guy over at MSNC.
Friday B-Movie Pick: Kill the Golden Goose
My old VHS copy of this movie has the title “Kill the Golden Ninja.” Not one Ninja or a goose to be found in his flick. What you do find are two martial arts Masters in staring roles. American Kenpo Karate’s Ed Parker and Hapkido’s Bong Soo Han! A great 1970’s movie with some cool martial arts action.
Priorities
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
It’s clear to see where our Dear Leader‘s priorities are. He has spoken with the General he personally place in charge of Afghanistan twice. He has had over 30 meetings to try to get the 2016 Olympics held the crime ridden city of Chicago.
Why this mixed up set of priorities? Simple, as the man who wrote the screenplay said, “Follow the Money!”
While the odds are that the city of Chicago is going to loose money hosting the Olympics, there will be people who get very, very rich off all the money that will be flowing through that city for that event.
Those people will be the political cronies of the Chicago democrat political machine. The people who supported our Dear Leader going back to his days as a “community organizer” and they now have their hands out. Paying off those political debts, with federal tax payer money, is clearly our Dear Leader‘s priority.
What America is reading
Number 1 top seller at Amazon, Gov. Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, which isn’t coming out until November! I’m betting it outsells any of our Dear Leader’s books.
Number 3 is Glenn Beck’s Arguing with Idiots.
If you like these books, here are some more you may like.
Damn You John Ringo! Damn You!
First off, ya…I’m a big fan of John Ringo‘s books, and he’s written a lot of them. I’ve been reading the Sluggy Freelance comic, which gets a lot of references in his books, even longer and I’m a long time Schlock Mercenary fan too.
I took a peek at the leaked advanced chapters for his next book, Live Free or Die, over at Buckley’s site (ya, that Buckley) and Ringo explains in the forward that this book is “sort of playing about” in the Schlock Mercenary universe, but back when the galactic civilization first made contact with Earth.
Now to highlight what an evil being John Ringo is (something he freely and perhaps just a bit too gleefully admits), this book won’t be released until February 2010. Oh…Baen will have an e-ARC version available earlier, which could be mine for about the cost of the hardcover that won’t be out for another four months.
Ok, so both John Ringo and Baen Books are EVIL! I say that with the highest level of respect for their grasp of the capitalistic system.
While I’m here, I’ll put in a good word for Baen’s ebook sales. No DRM (i.e. the copy ‘protection’ crap that assumes that paying customers are thieves), available in multiple formats, and when new books are released in hardcover, you can pick up the e-book version, direct from Baen, for usually $6. If that is still too much for you, check out what they have on the net for free! If you haven’t read of any of John Ringo’s books, you can read seven of his book for free.
Update: It’s late January, so you can pick up a DRM free e-book version of Live Free or Die at Baen‘s webscription.net site for $6. Or you could wait a little longer and get Live Free or Die as a hardcover from Amazon for $17.16. My bet is that Baen will make more money off that $6 e-book than the hardcover with a suggested retail price of $26.
Update: Live Free or Die was my Monday Book Pick for 2/1/2010.
Mean while, in California, state regulations kill 3.8 Million jobs
Yup, burdensome and excessive state regulations have cost the California economy 3.8 million jobs in the small business market.
That’s right folks, the small businesses that employ most of the people. The small businesses that are competely unrepresented on our Dear Leader‘s so-called “economic team.”
This helps explains California’s current unemployment rate of 12.2%.
This is the result of the far left policies of the California legislature. If it wasn’t for the Governator acting as a rational brake on their policies, California would be flirting with Michigan’s 15.2% unemployment rate.
Obama and Chavez and Castro, Oh My

Monday Book Pick: The Forever War
The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
The classic anti-war military SciFi book seen by many as an answer to Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers (the Monday book pick from Feb. 9, 2009). Haldeman claims that isn’t how he wrote it, and Robert Heinlein thought it was a damn good good book. An opinion I share.
