An interesting item on Newsbusters:

Media Forgets That Wall Street Rip Off Artist is BIG Democrat Donor

The wires services and the rest of the Old Media have also been reporting on a scandal that doesn't have to do with Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich. But, like the Blago story line, the media seem to be forgetting one small aspect of the story of Wall Street rip off artist Bernard Madoff. Like Blago, Madoff's connections to the Democrat Party seem to be of little interest to the media.

Very few media stories of the fraud perpetrated by former Nasdaq chairman Madoff mentions the heavy financial support that Madoff has donated to the Democrat Party. Campaign contributions by Madoff show many thousands of dollars going to Democrat candidates and causes. Including $100,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign, thousands to Charles Rangel (D, NY), Charles Schumer (D, NY), and $6,000 to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. Madoff also gave generously to Senator Frank Lautenberg (D, NJ) who runs a charitable foundation that invested with Madoff.

So, what does a town like Vegas do when casino after casino lays off employees by the thousands?

Naturally, the city make sure that Vegas residents stay out of work by instead going outside of the entire state and fly in AND employ an entire Texas town for an ad campaign!

Sure, the Mirage is hurting, too. However, they still seem to have enough money to revamp their entire volcano show and hire Robbie Knievel to jump over it.

0bama's true colors are showing.

President-elect Barack Obama has already raised nearly $10 million in donations for next month’s inauguration, according to figures released by the transition Friday.

But unlike the president-elect’s campaign fundraising efforts, very few of the donations are coming in small dollar amounts. Of the 244 names disclosed Friday, 168 donors have given the maximum amount of $50,000.

By contrast, only 10 people contributed between $200 and $1000.

Any contributions totaling less than $200 were not disclosed, but few small dollar donors have contributed, the inauguration staff confirmed.

[Link: www.politico.com...]

168 TIMES $50,000 EQUALS $8,400,000.
Yup, nearly ten million.
And only a few rich friends.
No wonder he keeps choosing Clitonistas.

re: #19 mean Gene

That hotel was toasted!

It's a work ethic.
The last June I was in Indonesia. A power pole was knocked over by a coconut tree that was cut down during a hotel renovation. The transformer on the pole blew up (at first I thought it was a bomb! no kidding), power was out for blocks around.
Well within half an hour there was an a-frame on site, lifting the pole with the help of any local that wanted to help. The electric company had a new pole up and rewired in about an hour and a half. The whole operation looked like controlled chaos.But the job got done right away cause it needed doing.

Today I watched 6 city and county workers take 3 hours to cut up a medium size tree that had fallen onto the only road to my condo. I know these were union guys pulling in double time pay. Two guys running chain saws and four guys holding the ground steady.

Ethics...union and non-union...

What an excellent quote!

Good old Albert was not only a genius, he was wise as well.

Right, Wrong, and Meaningless
by James Sedgwick

• "Why do I keep dropping things?"
• "It’s the shoons."
• "What are shoons?"
• "Invisible beings that pull things out of your hands and throw them on the floor."
• "Why would I believe that?"
• "Well, if you can’t disprove it, you have to believe it."
• "But you didn’t prove it."
• "I can feel them. You can feel them too You’re just in denial."
• "Well I don’t believe it."
• "So you are an ashoonist."
• "What’s an ashoonist?"
• "One who arbitrarily refuses to believe in shoons. You wonder why you drop things, but you arbitrarily reject the explanation."
• "Okay then, I’m an ashoonist."
• "But ashoonists are all cynics and killjoys! Is that the kind of company you want to keep?"

What a silly way to argue! Or is it? If you separate the method of argument from the content, then you might notice that it is the most common of all methods of argument: the arbitrary declaration. They say that something is so, and you have to either disprove it or agree with it. Refusing to do either is joining the Meanies.

It’s a paradox. You cannot reject an assertion without reason, but you could waste the whole day finding reasons to reject arbitrary assertions. Ayn Rand’s epistemology solves the paradox by taking away permission to make assertions in the first place without reasons.

Come to think of it, where did that permission come from? If an assertion does not come with an observable connection to reality, why would anybody pay attention to it? Well, if it has to be either right or wrong, then you have to decide which, and you have to be reasonable. So you can’t reject anything without disproving it.

But what if a statement could be something else besides right or wrong? What if it could also be simply meaningless?

Right and wrong are relationships to reality – correspondence and non-correspondence. To judge a statement as right or wrong, you compare it to reality, by finding what part of reality it compares to. If a statement does not say what part of reality it compares to, then it is presented without connection to reality. It could mean all sorts of things, depending on where it fits in reality. Since that is not specified, it means nothing. It conveys words, but not meaning. Since you cannot call it right, and you cannot call it wrong, you call it arbitrary. Arbitrary means lacking any evidence of a relationship to reality.

To treat arbitrary assertions as right is to be a self-made sucker. To treat them as wrong is to try judging without evidence. The objective way is to realize that assertions without evidence are meaningless. No matter how much emotion they contain, nothing has been said.

Here’s a completion of the original argument:

• "Wait! Before you told me about the shoons, was I a shoonist, or an ashoonist?"
• "Well, neither. That word just meant nothing to you."
• "And it still means nothing to me. Try me again when you’ve got evidence."

What a Sad P*ssy

Rahm Emanuel is now whining that he’s been “receiving death threats” over his obvious involvement in one of the nastiest corruption scandals in the history of our nation, which is saying a bit when you talk about Democrats.

Back at his home, Emanuel appeared “beet-red,” according to an ABC News cameraman who was invited inside by Emanuel to use his bathroom this morning.

“I’m getting regular death threats. You’ve put my home address on national television. I’m pissed at the networks. You’ve intruded too much, ” Emanuel said, according to the cameraman.

Awww… What a sad, metrosexual pussy of a seemingly male member of the species. What happened to the Capone-like “man’s man” who once listed a number of defeated political enemies at a dinner, punctuating every cry of “DEAD!” by stabbing his steak knife into the table?

Time to brush the sand out of your vagina, “Rahmbo”, isn’t it?

And, by the way, where was your outrage when Joe the Plumber was subjected to similar treatment and worse simply because he’d had the nerve, nerve to ask your nutless empty suit of a Jug-Eared Marxist Freak Candidate an honest question that your neophyte dumbass Anointed One couldn’t answer without shooting himself in both feet?

Have a fucking cookie and a glass of milk, you gutless pansy masquerading as a man, because you’re beginning to annoy us with your whininess. Make mommy kiss it and it’ll be all better, we promise you.

Cowardly corrupt Chicago Machine fuck. It’s all fun and games bragging about how you’ve “killed” your political opponents until the shoe is on the other fucking foot, isn’t it?

There is a big difference between witches and satanists. Witches do not practice dark sides, or the left-hand paths.

But it makes no difference. Anyone who is a rapist pedophile, regardless of the religion they claim, deserves everything they get. Just like the ostensibly Christian serial murderers Bundy, and Gacy, and Dahmer, and Chikatilo received.

But this woman had done nothing untoward to anybody. And her murder was a heinous and egregious crime, regardless of the religious justifications her murderers proffered.

Maybe, but India is a chaotic place at the best of times and mistakes are often made in the heat of battle. I hope improvements are made to protect people. You'll find many, more developed cities are just as vulnerable right now because they don't really believe this will happen to them or cannot afford to be on full alert all the time.

re: #171 Pietr

I'm confused-if I strap it butter side up on the cats back-which law wins? If I put it butter side down, it's full of fur, and inedible still. Can I get some clarification?

Neither law wins - Ideally they cancel each other out, and the cat/buttered bread combination hover and spin almost frictionless!

The problem with actual execution of this theory is the difficulty in getting the correct relationship between the mass of the cat and the mass of the buttered bread to balance the forces.

re: #171 Pietr

I think you are all including a step and complicating things. You don't strap a buttered piece of toast to the cat, you simply butter the back of the cat. Same principle should apply. Some one contact pBMB and see if we can get a study going.

re: #173 BlueCanuck

I think you are all including a step and complicating things. You don't strap a buttered piece of toast to the cat, you simply butter the back of the cat. Same principle should apply. Some one contact pBMB and see if we can get a study going.

First the source of the forces must be understood. The force acting on the
bread is not the butter, as some may think. Without the bread, butter
wouldn't land bread side up, and therefore the force could not possibly be
in the butter. We know the force is not the bread because it has been
experimentally proven that bread does not land any particular side down
without butter. The bread/butter force is caused by the fusing of bread and
butter particles together. This fusion causes energy to be released in the
form of shifting gravity and anti-gravity energy to opposite sides of the
bread/butter continuum. The gravity energy naturally shifts to the butter
since it is denser then the bread, while the anti-gravity energy shifts to
the bread side.

The energy in a cat for landing on its feet comes from the feet themselves.
This has been proven experimentally. Cats without feet have a near zero
success rate of landing on their feet. We will call this energy cat foot
energy.

Considering the equal but opposing bread/butter and cat foot forces one
would expect the cat to spin violently about its axis. However the strength
of these forces must be considered. A regular cat is not structurally
stable enough to withstand the torque the spinning causes. I should not
have to describe the way the cat's limbs give way, the way the legs wrench
around until the feet are on the same side of the cat as the butter. And
thus the cat can then land on its feet, butter side down.

We are now researching the possibility of using structurally reinforced
cats for levitation systems, but so far the cost is too high to be
practical. Several attempts at producing economically viable systems were
made by separating the feet so that the instability of the cat would not be
a factor. At first there was dificulty because there was no cat to tie the
bread to. Later it was discovered that when not attached to a cat the feet
lost their cat foot force over time. It is hypothesized that the feet need
to be living to exert the cat foot force, and so far no practical method
has been found for keeping the feet alive other than a cat.

Attempts are also being made to breed flat cats with no legs (only feet).

There are many other problems related with this method of levitation as you
may well imagine, but they are beyond the scope of this discussion.
