Daily Flush: Ethics, Romans, Wal-Mart and a Win for the Republic
Jul 22nd
Most Ethical Congress Watch: It seems like a million years ago, but in November 2006, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats captured the majority in Congress. At the time the newly crowned Speaker of the House talked a big game.
“The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history,” Pelosi said. She added, “And nowhere did the American people make it more clear that we need a new direction than in the war in Iraq. ‘Stay the course’ has not made our country safer, has not honored our commitment to our troops and has not made the region more stable. We cannot continue down this catastrophic path.” She called on the Bush administration to work with Democrats “to find a solution to the war in Iraq.”
I remember shortly after the Democrats took over the Congress that we immediately pulled out of Iraq. Well, I guess it didn’t quite turn out like that. The Democrats messed up that whole ethics thing as well. Charles Rangel joins the ranks of politicians caught up in ethics charges. This is hardly newsworthy. Corrupt politicians are a dime a dozen, but when you promise to “lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history” and fail catastrophically, it has to be pointed out. And what happened to transparency? Everyone loves to hear that we’ll find out what’s in a bill after it’s been passed. That’s comforting! Why would anyone be cynical about politics?
Most Biased Is? Big Journalism has completed the Top Ten Most Left-Biased American Journalists and the winner is Helen Thomas. I don’t know. Helen Thomas hasn’t been relevant since Antoninus Pius was a Roman emperor. Oh yeah, she didn’t like the Jews back then either; however, it was a lot more acceptable back then. What is truth?
Ego Watch: A recent Rasmussen poll shows Charlie “The Ego” Crist trails Marco Rubio in the Senate race. I point this out because I really don’t like Crist. I would rather have Lindsay Lohan as my senator than Charlie Crist. She would be an awesome Senator and far more ethical than most of the yahoos currently sitting in that august body.
Wal-Mart Deserves Nobel Prize: That’s what Mark J. Perry says and who can blame him? Perry links to an article that explains how apparel jobs created by Wal-Mart in Bangladesh appear to bolster school enrollments of girls, especially for young girls. Wal-Mart should be praised for how they’ve reduced poverty worldwide; however, progressives like IKEA and Target better because…. I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with doing what everyone else is doing. Progressives are very susceptible to peer pressure. Winning the Nobel Prize is no big deal anyway since it’s been reduced to an honorary award given to failed presidents and terrorists.
Climate Bill Dead? Never underestimate the Democrats’ ability to pass unpopular legislation, but it looks like the climate change bill is dead. Score one for the Republic. The bill accomplishes nothing except to make the price of goods increase and make some hippies feel better about themselves, which is really what it’s all about. Imagine all the people, and so on and so forth.
Editorial Note: My annual trip to Priest Lake in my own private Idaho starts on Saturday, so I’ll be gone until August 2. Club Soda is going to be busy as well, so that means no posts for a week, unless Club Soda is struck with divine inspiration. I know… How will you survive? I don’t know. Read a book, play an instrument, or dream of Lindsay Lohan’s first day of freedom. I shall do the latter, but don’t tell my wife.
The Daily Flush: Rainbows, Divided Vietnam, and Apple
Jul 16th
I had so much fun putting together The Daily Flush yesterday I’m making it a daily column here at The Daily Plunge. There’s just so much stuff to write about and so little time. Let’s Flush!
Double Rainbow: I’m a few days behind this internet sensation, but the Double Rainbow video is amazing. At first I thought the guy was on drugs, but after seeing an interview of the guy and seeing where he lives, I’m not so sure. He sure does love rainbows.
Apple iPerfect: Steve Jobs told everyone what we needed to know; they’re not perfect. Perfection aside, according to Jobs, 0.55% of all iPhone 4 users have called Apple Care to complain. For those scoring at home that’s one half of one percent. It should be noted that calling Apple Care is almost useless. Also, if someone is having problems getting a signal how exactly are you supposed to call Apple Care?
Foxes Running the Henhouse: The ass clowns who told us there was nothing wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are now celebrating the new “consumer protection bill.” When Nancy Pelosi, Christopher Dodd, and Barney Frank talk about “consumer protection” it’s almost certain that consumers are about to be screwed. These people should be in prison. Instead, they’ll continue to get sweetheart deals the rest of us can only dream about.
The Holy Trinity of Politcal Evil
While these idiots trade high fives some of the problems that led to the crisis aren’t being addressed. The Democrats are either too corrupt or too ideologically tied to the welfare state (take your pick) to deal with the problem.
Sheila Jackson Lee: Finally, we have a fantastic history lesson from Democrat Representative Shelia Jackson Lee. Did you know there’s a North and South Vietnam still living side by side? Nope, neither did I. Before anyone simply says she had Vietnam confused with Korea, she cites the correct number of American casualties from the Vietnam conflict. I only point out the ignorance of this representative because of white privilege.
That’s all for today… I’ll close with the Rainbow Guy song. Classic!
The Idea of Health Care Reform
Mar 16th
Politics is never logical. If this entire health care drama has taught us anything it’s that logic, facts and rational thinking are in short supply in Washington. According to Rasmussen roughly 42% of Americans support ObamaCare. I guess that’s the Senate version of the bill. 42% is a lot of Americans. Sadly, the real statistic is that at least 42% of Americans are completely clueless when It comes to the current health care debate.
Basically what’s happened is that party loyalists are rallying around the cause. The far left, who cried outrage with the public option was removed, now backs the Senate version. They’ve even come after Dennis Kucinich, who has vowed to vote against any bill that doesn’t include the public option. What is Kucinich’s crime? I guess maintaining his pledge is too much for the deranged left.
What people are endorsing now is the “idea of reform.” No one with a brain believes this bill is anything but a disaster; however, the left has decided it’s better to endorse a disaster than for the President to fail to deliver on the “idea of reform.” Bush was able to pass a prescription drug bill despite the fact that it was terrible; however, the public wasn’t as outraged as it is today. Make no mistake, the Democrats are going to get crushed in November because of this bill. It probably doesn’t even matter if it dies. If it passes, the Tea Party movement will become the Repeal Movement. What are the Democrats really trying to accomplish?
Obama could have broken the bill into five smaller bills and passed them one at a time without much resistance. Instead he let the most inept Speaker of the House in American history take over the process. This is what happens when the nation takes a chance on electing a President that’s woefully underqualified.
Nancy Pelosi’s Congress
Mar 10th
This video has been making the rounds over the last twenty-four hours. It’s Nancy Pelosi at her finest. What ever happened to transparent government?
The sad thing is she’s probably right. There are enough handout and giveaways in this bill to perhaps win over enough people to make it popular.
The Interdimensional Reptilian Race
Jul 28th
Over the past few weeks The Daily Plunge has had a lot of fun with Fire the Grid. Joking aside, there’s a very dangerous element that needs to be addressed. I am posting this right as Fire the Grid begins to enlighten the world about the threat of an interdimensional reptilian race that have been abusing the Earth. Almost two years ago British mystic Rev. Juliet Nightingale exposed the real truth about Fire the Grid.
I have never heard about the grid in my 5 years of reverse speaking research, but I have heard over and over about the net. This electro-magnetic field is our prison. It surrounds the Earth and is invisible to our 5 senses, but holds in astral bodies and is a trap for humanity when we leave our physical lives. It was constructed eons ago by an interdimensional reptilian race who have been abusing the Earth and humanity ever since.
I’m not sure what any of that means but I’m sure it’s serious. What is also serious is the fact that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi may indeed be a member of the reptilian race. I cannot confirm this, but there is a striking similarity in the picture above. So, when the grid fires up at 6:19 EST and a reptile pops out of its Pelosi suit to proclaim a New World Order, remember that you read it here first. And let me be the first to welcome our new alien overlords to our warm and comfortable planet!
