Scareder and scareder!

Another begging email from the Demonrats!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Chuck --

Yesterday, Barack Obama sent the following email to our top supporters to engage you in a critical campaign and to raise urgent funds to meet our grassroots goal before Tuesday's FEC reporting deadline. The Republicans have posted huge fundraising numbers and this week they publicly announced a $50 million negative advertising campaign. We must be able to go toe-to-toe. Please answer the President's challenge today and give $5 or more today.

Contribute today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar>>

DCCC Executive Director

Subject: Make No Mistake

Friend --

When I took office, we had a big choice to make. We could do what was easy to get through the next election or we could do what was hard - and right - to help the next generation.

Our extraordinary House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and my Democratic partners in the House chose to lead. They chose to do the real heavy lifting to get our economy back on track and to restore the American dream for every American.

Make no mistake about it. Democrats will retain the House of Representatives this year, as long as you continue working to help them win.

Tuesday marks a critical FEC reporting deadline for my friends at the DCCC, the only Democratic political committee solely dedicated to protecting the House. I'm asking for your help to make their $1 Million grassroots goal before midnight Tuesday to continue the work we've only just begun.

Contribute before midnight August 31st to make sure that I keep my great Democratic Partners in the House. Your gift today will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

Keep the House Blue

The steady progress we are seeing toward America's recovery is no accident. It's happened because I've had Democratic partners in the House and Senate who have chosen to tackle problems that Washington talked about for decades but always just kicked down the road. Not anymore.

From the Recovery Act, to health insurance reform, to landmark clean energy legislation, to Wall Street reform, Speaker Pelosi and Democrats in Congress have passed the bills because they put the American peoples' interests before the special interests. Now they need your help.

I know what a difference grassroots support can make in a tough fight. In the same way that you helped me defy the pundits and stand strong against the attacks from those who wish to protect the status quo, I need your help to make a difference right now to retain a Democratic House.

Contribute before midnight August 31st to make sure that I keep my great Democratic Partners in the House. Your gift today will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

There is so much more work to get done. Now is not the time to turn back.

Now is the time to remind ourselves what we can achieve together with Speaker Pelosi leading a Democratic House for another two years.

This is our moment to retain a Democratic House and continue America's progress.

Thank you,

Barack Obama

P.S. Contributing to my friends at the DCCC is a wise investment. They have a proven track record of success and every dollar in the door means another race that will have the resources it needs to fight back. Contribute to have your gift matched today.

Osama must be about out of piss by now. Nappy change time!

Wisconsin attempting to strip veterans of their votes

At Barking Moonbat Early Warning System:

10 States Seek Waiver to Comply With Military Voting Law’s Absentee Ballot Rules

Kohl, Feingold and all the other Demonrats must be pissing themselves at the thought of how all those servicemen and women overseas would vote if allowed to.

UPDATE 8/28/10 - Petition refused, for Wisconsin. I guess our "leaders" will just have to take their chances in the election.

Road rage

I've got it.

Driving the truck home with a customer's trimming machine in back today, I decided to take a back road. E B C Townline Road in Rock County takes about a mile off the trip.

The last time I drove this road, it was in terrible shape - potholes and spots where the pavement was gone for three foot patches down to gravel. Well, today, I found the local road crew had "patched" the worst areas.

They must use these back roads as a training ground for patching crews. The job was barely adequate to make the worst patches navigable without breaking the suspension. The quality was what one would expect from someone's brother-in-law's political patronage job in Chicago. Not anywhere near the quality I have come to expect in Wisconsin - at least on major highways.

That was OK - then I got to the intersection of Carver's Rock Road going south. This used to be a 'Y' on Carver's Rock, so traffic in and out of that road could turn without slowing excessively.

The local brainiacs in charge decided to make it a literal 'Y' - with no straight connection across the top for E B C Townline Road. One evidently is expected to make the left onto southbound Carver's Rock Road, then make a sharp right to get back on the westbound road. They excavated about a foot of pavement out between the arms of the 'Y', and there was no warning as to construction.

I hit the excavated area going about 50. It's at the top of a hill, so it's invisible until you get about 50 yards from the excavation. With a load in the bed, I was not inclined to slam on the brakes, and simply bounced through. Lucky me - nothing got bent or broken.

People in positions of power that do things like this are the reason God invented tar, feathers, and rails, if not tall trees, a horse, and a rope.

Nastygrams going out as soon as I find out who to send them to...

Update - I called WI DOT - they told me to talk to Rock County. Rock County told me it was the Town of Clinton's business. Left a message at the number for the town supervisor. He never returned my call - but on the way to deliver that machine, I took the town line road - and now there are big barricades up to warn about the dropoff. So my calling had a good effect.

Osama must be starting to crap his pants - he might lose the House to people interested in America as is should be, not the American Soviet Socialist Republic he wants to bring forth.

SO - If you want to ensure that Osama loses his "great Demonrat partners", contribute to their opposition, and campaign for them. The lefties are going to be out there, along with ACORN and all the usual suspects...

Fan mail from some flounder

I got a fan letter from that great man, 'Anonymous', yesterday. As soon as I get my scanner working with Windows 7, I'll post it in all it's glory.

Not quite sure what (s)he wanted to convey, but it involved news clippings (unattributed) and Xerox copies of pages from a book, complete with yellow highlighter and not too coherent handwritten comments.

Got the scanner back up, so here it is.

First, the envelope, no return address. I've cropped out my address - anyone who wants it can do the minimal work to find it. Anonymous did!


Note the familiarity, or attempt to belittle me, via the "Chucky". Sad.

On the back flap is the word "Picolu", possibly "Picolo". Unsure.

Page 1:


Note to Anonymous - it's spelled "suggest", and apostrophes are not used for plurals.

NASA has been at the forefront of the "climategate" scandal. Amateur scientists have discovered and pointed out errors made by NASA satellite data compilers.

Wikipedia article
Errors in NASA records
An interesting video

Ice sheets floating on the ocean are larger in volume frozen than melted, so if the ice sheets are melting, ocean levels should be going down.

Osama's place of birth is not an issue - IF his mother was an American citizen at the time of the birth. What ever gave you the idea that this is an issue with me? The big question for me is - why is Osama willing to spend millions to keep his records secret? It promotes suspicion.

How, exactly, does a House resolution commemorating Hawaii figure here? The vote on returning the stolen GM and Chrysler stock to the people who paid for it is more interesting - and that CONgress refused to stop future bailouts.

Page 2:
It would be nice to know what this was copied from. If you want to get someone to change their opinions, at least tell them what book you were reading!

Hoover, Nixon, and G. W. Bush. All three at least did not actively try to enslave the American people. Perhaps Anonymous means they were among the worst at furthering Communism here. Surprised (s)he didn't include both Bushes and Reagan.

What channel? Who, exactly, is laughing at me? I love to entertain people!

So, I should listen to known left-wing biased news to get the "truth"?

Not sure what the bit at the bottom is - I'm not a Republican - I spend a lot of time telling them to quit sending me begging letters.

I am definitely a conservative - I want to conserve our freedoms, even for douches like Anonymous.

Is that "nickle head" or "nuckle head"? Please explain, so I can rebut.

Seems like Anonymous doesn't like Fox News. Well, I don't watch it, or any TV news, regularly, and know they are as prone to sensationalism as the rest of the MSM. At lest they present news that the rest of the MSM glosses over.

Page 3:

So, some inland glaciers melted. So what? Once upon a time, in a place under my feet, there was a glacier over 3 km thick. It went away, too.

I have no idea what prompted this - my blog, a letter I sent to the newspaper, a comment I made on another blog, or whatever.

If you want my respect, at least be brave enough to give me a name and address, or even a phone number, so I can have a real communication with you. Mine are public record.

Climate change! Hide!

A new HIGHLIGHTED article from the AP on the front page of last Wednesday's Beloit Daily News seems to ignore the fact that the IPCC is not trustworthy these days. Can't find a link to it, unfortunately, but it parroted all the tired old Algore memes. Got to "do something NOW" or we're all gonna die!

My reply:

On Wednesday, August 12th, there was a front-page article about how the world is going to end if we all don't "do something right now" about "climate change". Back in the 1970's, we were supposed to prepare for an ice age - then in the 1990's, for "global warming". Neither seems imminent today, so now it's "climate change", something that cannot be measured. We need to do something now, before the truth comes out and ruins the crisis.

It's called "weather" by people who don't have a political or ideological axe to grind. Heat waves, rain, storms, drought - it's all happened before, and likely it will all happen again.

The "experts" such as the UN's IPCC, have been pretty much shown up as charlatans and liars, pushing "climate change" as a means to a one-world government with strict controls over all of human activity - except for the elite, such as Al Gore, who will live their lavish lifestyles on the backs of the peons who will pay the "carbon taxes" demanded to end the "crisis".


Computer models are only as good as the input they are given, and the understanding of the modeler of the system being modeled. Climate models are far from exact - and reputable climatologist will admit this. We can't even reliably predict rain and violent storms more than a day in advance - how can we expect to model the whole Earth's climate?


Why, exactly, did this column rate a special highlighting? Isn't it about time for the media to realize the massive con-job that has been attempted has misfired, and the people are wise to the machinations of the radical environmentalists?

Enough with the "climate change". Please refer to "weather" as weather from now on - it's still news, but Chicken Little has left the building.

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan

Got this on an email list:

Kagan tied to Obama's birth certificate

I just tried to call Kohl again to remind him about our desire NOT to have Kagan on the Court. His aide said she had been confirmed a while ago.

I just sent him this:

OK, so now it's too late.

Are you aware that as Solicitor General, Ms. Kagan was involved in issues related to Mr. Obama's eligibility to be President?

I think some checking is in order - and possibly, someone concerned about his constituents might just want to ask some questions, even belatedly?

Email from Herb Kohl

This person has a very selective ear - he hears only what his handlers have told him he hears. From a recent email from Herb Kohl:

"I rise today in support of General Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Her confirmation will be a milestone that we can all be proud of -- for the first time in history three women will be serving on the Supreme Court at one time.
General Kagan came before the Judiciary Committee with an impressive resume that had all the trappings of an accomplished lawyer worthy of appointment to the Supreme Court. During her hearings she proved herself to be well qualified for the job.
She impressed us with her sharp mind, keen intellect, and comprehensive knowledge of the Constitution and the law. She pledged to consider each case with an open mind and to impartially uphold the rule of law. And, she appeared mindful of the need for judicial modesty and fidelity to precedent, but not when it stands in the way of ending injustice or guaranteeing our fundamental rights.
At times during the hearing, Solicitor General Kagan seemed to be somewhat more candid than previous nominees. She disavowed a purely originalist interpretation of the Constitution, recognizing that such a limited approach will not always solve our 21st Century problems. And, I was pleased that she unequivocally expressed her support for opening the Supreme Court to cameras. So I believe that with General Kagan’s confirmation the American people will be one step closer to seeing for themselves the Supreme Court debate our most pressing legal and Constitutional issues.
But, despite the strength of her qualifications, like so many nominees before her, General Kagan often retreated to the generalities and platitudes that she once criticized. I am pleased that she rejected the analogy that Supreme Court Justices are like umpires, simply calling balls and strikes. Instead, she acknowledged that each Justice’s legal judgment determines the outcome of close cases. But, at times her answers gave us too little insight into what informs her unique legal judgment and how it will impact those close cases.
As I have said before, the confirmation process demands more than that. This was the public’s only opportunity to hear from General Kagan. In my opinion, she made small in-roads, but we still have a long way to go in meeting the high standard to which we should hold Supreme Court nominees during their confirmation hearings.
In sum, I am voting for General Kagan because she is unquestionably well qualified, has a record of being a principled, consensus-building lawyer, and because I believe her judicial philosophy is within the mainstream of our country’s legal thought. I am confident that she will make a superb Supreme Court Justice and is a worthy nominee to carry on Justice Stevens’ long legacy of exemplary public service to our nation."

My response email - also a call to his office at (202) 224-5653:

Evidently you do not pay attention to your employer's wishes. You have been told time and again that Ms. Elena Kagan is unsuitable for a position on the Supreme Court. Any thinking individual who has listened to her comments during the confirmation process knows she is unfit to be a judge of any sort in this country, let alone on our highest court.

You will PLEASE vote NO on this appointment, if you care one whit for the people you serve. You are already marked for retirement at the next election by your actions to date - at least leave office with SOME credible actions in your record!

NO on Kagan. We have spoken. Hear us.

By the way - three women on the Court is nothing to be proud of, unless they are all dedicated to upholding the Constitution as written. Ms. Kagan has proven she is not interested in doing that

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Since when does a douche-bag like Kagan get addressed as "General", anyway?

UPDATE: Got an email from Herb this morning in response - essentially the same text as above, with a personalized first line.
