Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Free Speech, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Hot Air is reporting that email to the Obama Snitch email address (flag@whitehouse.gov) is down and returning an error message.
A win for the First Amendment and the Rule of Law, two things the Obama Administration isn’t too keen on.
Monday Book Pick: The Sackett Brand

Another leftist double standard: Requiring ID
First off, a story NewsBusters files under “Can’t Make It Up” with good reason.
Eugene Green, a democrat congresscritter from Texas has voted against defending the basic civil rights of American citizens by voting NO on requiring ID for federal elections. This hasn’t stopped him from demanding that American Citizens in his own district present a photo ID in order to be admitted into his “Town Hall” Meetings.
Liberal democrat hypocrisy so thick you need an ax to make a dent in it.
Extra Bonus Example: Racist Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor had her fitness club membership canceled because she repeated refused to show her ID when entering the club. She apparently felt that the staff should have been honored to have a “wise Latina woman” gracing their establishment and didn’t need to identify herself.
Stray SciFi observations
I admit it, I have watched all three seasons of Heros. Not a great show, but not horrible either. Good acting and engaging characters. Plot holes you could drive a semi through, but hey you can’t have everything.
Ok, fair warning, I’m going to discuss plot points, so there be spoilers here.
First off, the writers must have figured out that time/space powers shared by Hiro & Peter were just too unstablisling and was giving them headaches in the writers meetings, so those had to go.
There was that little trick with a transfusion of Claire’s blood. That is how the Company brought back Noah from the dead. I’m not talking about pining for the fiords type “mostly dead” either. This was a “bullet entrance wound in eye, tunnel through the brain and blow out the back of the head” type dead. If you have Claire, you don’t need to screw with Sylar’s brain after he just cut Nathan’s throat. Ok, maybe they are going to pull some crazed crap like Noah never knew, or asked, how he was brought back to life, and Nathan’s body is on ice somewhere, ready to be reanimated through the magic of Claire’s blood after Sylar figures out that he is Sylar. I expect Parkman to be rather pissed off if he finds out, unless he’s moved on from Daphne and is back on track with his ex-wife, who was cheating on him with his best friend.
Ok, I’ve got that out of my system.
Let’s move on. The SciFi channel’s new show Warehouse 13. Ya, I know know the idiots there changed the spelling, but that is their little episode of idioticy.
I like Warehouse 13, and ya, Steve Jackson Games did a GURPS book about it first, so go collect your geek cred somewhere else. They admit they got the idea from the first Indiania Jones movie anyway.
The characters are fun, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it is more serious than the Librarian movies. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch all the episodes aired so far at Scifi.com.
Friday B-Movie Pick: Hexed
Before she starred in Babylon 5, Claudia Christian did this fun comedy/horror film.
An alternative to coffeeshops for “freelancers”
There has been a fair amount of whining over this Wall Street Journal story about coffee houses rousing deadbeats taking up space that paying customers could be in.
What started as a good practice to bring in customers, providing free WiFi access to the Internet, has been abused by freeloaders and deadbeats, causing coffeeshops to start denying power for laptops and declaring laptop free hours.
Thanks for ruining it for the rest of us you deadbeats. If you are going to take up space in a place of business, like a coffee shop, how about patronizing the business? One cup of drip coffee, which you leave untouched as you sit for hours on end, taking advantage of the free WiFi, does not count as patronizing the business. Buy a couple of bagels at least!
Here is something these so called “freelancers” (i.e. deadbeats) can do instead of whining about their “careers” are coming to an end, visit your local public library. Odds are that there is free Internet access there. It may not be as “hip” as freeloading at the local coffeeshop, but are you interested in getting your work done, or merely projecting the image of being productive when you are actually just hanging out?
A look behind the scenes at an ObamaCare Astroturf event
A video report on Obama health care Town Hall – 11 August 2009 – Portsmouth NH

The left’s so-called “protesters” are being paid $10-$15 an hour. Where is the money coming from to pay for all of this Astroturf?
More lies from the left about Obamacare
Why do democrats feel the need to lie in order “sell” their so-called “Health Care Reform” program to the American People? Probably because it has little or none to do with improving the Health Care of most tax paying American citizens.
Rightwing Sparkle has yet another example of a what is probably a planted democrat operative lying at a Town Hall meeting.
On Aug. 11th our own Houston Chronicle displayed a picture of Shelia Jackson Lee hugging a woman who had asked a question at the townhall as well, but her question was in full support of the health care bill. The woman was identified as “Dr. Roxana Mayer, a pediatric primary care physician.” Turns out, she isn’t a doctor at all though. She had identified herself to the Chonicle that way though.
…
So, here we have someone asking a question, giving favor in support of the health care bill, posing as a doctor to give more credibility to her support. When in reality she was an Obama delegate and NOT a doctor.
If “Obamacare” really was beneficial to American Citizens, the simple truth would support the democrat’s policies. Since they feel the need to lie repeatedly about it, that should tell you all you need to know.
Update: HotAir points out that not only is Roxana Mayer not a doctor, she was an Obama delegate!
