No. Really.
 

THERE IS A SHIP STUCK IN THE ICE AT THE SOUTH POLE

(December 29, 2013) There is a ship stuck in the ice at the South Pole. Let me repeat that: THERE IS A SHIP STUCK IN THE ICE AT THE SOUTH POLE.

If you remember your third grade science class, you may be asking yourself, "Why is there a ship stuck in the ice at the South Pole? Isn't it supposed to be warmer in the southern hemisphere this time of year? With global warming, isn't it supposed to be even warmer?" And it is a very good question to ask. Why, indeed?

It's not going to get any warmer for a while at the South Pole.

Weren't we all told by the ever-wise Nancy Pelosi and the equally learned Barack Hussein Obama that climate science was a done deal? Isn't Human-caused global warming "proven science?" Well, there is a ship stuck in the ice at the South Pole, and it's proving that Nancy Pelosi and Barack Hussein Obama and Al Gore are a bunch of big, fat liars.

And Liars they are. In fact, the ice is so thick, the cold in the Antarctic is at record levels. Those who study the history of the ice at the South Pole, know what Liars the Democrats who support global warming are. They know that this is a repeating pattern and that the earth has been much warmer than it is now and will be warmer and colder many, many times before the Sun consumes the Earth in five or six billion years from now. That's, of course, if we aren't smashed to death when the galaxy that's headed for us, doesn't crash into us Milky Way residents before that (in a billion years or so).

There is a ship stuck in the ice at the south Pole and it shouldn't be there. Global warming is a farce. We would be fools to believe ANY Democrat who says anything - particularly about the economy, healthcare, and especially global warming caused by humans!
 

CARL ROVE THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET OF ARROGANCE

(December 27, 2013) Are you a TEA Party member or supporter? Do you believe in smaller government, strict adherence to the Constitution, and common sense in law enforcement? Do you have morals based on the belif in a supreme being? Then you are no longer wanted or needed by the Republican Party. Carl Rove says so.

No kidding! The tubby, middle-road Big-Corporationist has prognosticated that all the moderates and incumbents will win their primaries and be returned to their respective elected offices. He is arranging, through his political company, to cut off any national Republican funds for TEA Party candidates. And it's not as if he's hiding his endeavors, either. He boldly goes where no other political advisor has gone, before.

I would like Carl Rove not to be the monkey
of mediocrity, but things are what they are.

Rove represents the National Chamber of Commerce which represents the fattest cats in America. Now, there is nothing wrong with being a fat cat. I love capitalism. But these guys are NOT capitalists.. they are fascists. That is, they use their great wealth to extend their businesses through political means, rather than have everyone play by the same rules, not realizing they could actually make MORE money by NOT trying to control the marketplace, politically.

But influence politics they would, and Carl Rove is their monkey. I wish he were not, I like him, but he is, and things are as they are. He has many friends and commands much attention. But if his boasts are true, then the Republican Party does not need you. They intend to continue their march of self-destruction.

I am sorry to see it, but the country has been heading toward fascism for decades, now. We already have a fascist President and administration. The populace cares more about the iPhone than they do about freedom of speech. Professing freedom is hard work, every day. The average American doesn't want to work hard - they think they deserve "better."

Now, in the movies, this would be a terrible thing - and it may be, still. But there is a better than even chance that the TEA Party will reign in the Republican Party. It will take hard work, every day, turning out the RINOs and making Carl Rove's boasts empty. We can do it.
 

GOD REST YOU MERRY!

(December 24-26, 2013) Every year, about this time, columnists all over the Christian World set about trying to make sense of their particular society, in light of the celebration of the birth of the No. 1 Son of God (remember, we are all God's Children.) I was going back over some of my Christmas epistles, and I finally made it to last year's. I was astounded when I read it, because absolutely nothing has changed.

"AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

(December 24-26, 2012) I have an idea. Let's all use these next couple of days to reflect on how we can actually help the poor and the oppressed; Not by giving them things, but by helping them do for themselves. Yes, their President and their Senate is trying to buy themselves into permanence. And if we give in or give up, they will destroy the very thing they think they are trying to save. So let's ask the Almighty, whose son's birth we celebrate these next few days, for some courage and stamina, not to hate these sinners, but to fight the sin through which they are enthralled.

And a MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!"

Indeed!
 

"A VISIT FROM ST. JOE"

(December 23, 2013) Is it any wonder that NOAA is fudging the numbers on Androgenic Global Warming. Their latest bald-faced lie shows that they are fudging the numbers (see Joe Bastardi's free Saturday video discussing Joe D'Aleo's research on the Administration "fibs.") The fact is that not only was November NOT the warmest month in recorded history - not even close - but it gave away the secret as to HOW NOAA is cheating. (Oh, and the President didn't actually sign up for Obamacare, either, because he's covered separately AS PRESIDENT!)

Well, Joe (who's talents are endless), has written a parody of A Visit from St. Nicholas which reflects the fact that there has been no Global Warming for 17 years. I present it here, in almost pristine form. Enjoy!

A Visit From 'Saint Joe'

by Joe Bastardi (edited by Frankie Fox) • Dec. 18, 2013
(With apologies to Clement Clark Moore.)

'Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the news,
Were reports of such cold that the folks were confused.
Told global warming is why we should care,
That the point of no return would manifest here.

The children were bombarded with tales of dread,
While visions of climate doom stuck in each little head.
And mamma in her Prius, and I on my bike,
To save all the planet, junked the cars that we like.

When suddenly in the data there arose such a clatter,
The earth was not warming, what could be the matter
The warming stopped, as quick as a flash,
Leaving proponents in sack-cloth, bathing in ash.

This is what the science deniers said would happen. It didn't.

For far too common was new-fallen snow,
More than forecasted, temperatures 0 or below.
And, what to my wondering eye there appears,
But an uptick in sea ice, and even more polar bears.

With a little old driver, called the PDO,
I knew in a moment it had to be so.
Howling like beagles fearing the shame,
AGW pushers called skeptics many a name!

"Now, Denier! now, madman! now Cave Man, you're lying!
You're an idiot! you're a stupid, know-nothing, we're frying!
To the top of the chart! through the temperature wall!
The warming's out of control, it's frying us all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
This is the worst drought ever, global warming is why.
So up to the IPCC the climate pushers flew,
With a gravy train of grants, and politics too.

Make economies pay, we need no proof,
Just keep saying the temps will go up through the roof.
With the media complicit, my head turned around,
To see global temps level off, then come down.

The warming had stopped, in their mouth was their foot,
Exposing the scam, and making off with the loot.
Readjusting temperatures, from many years back,
Peddling disinfo to the media pack.

At conferences they would take drink and make merry!
While the calumny grew in a way that was scary!
For the tide, it had turned, there was cold that would show,
You can't say it's warmer, if there's too much snow.

The cold that was showing caused chattering teeth,
With the cycle full-circled, not unlike a wreath.
The decay of their reasoning - putrid and smelly
The argument for global warming - like jelly!

And "hockey sticks" broken, sea ice on the increase,
I laughed when I heard their excuses not cease.
Events we all knew were something ahead,
Were still being twisted and something to dread.

"How dare mother nature destroy Warming's working!
These 'deniers' are nasty as Miley C's twerking!"
But the data is there, and everyone knows,
The temperatures stayed flat, while CO2 rose!

So when in the wire, you hear the cold wind whistle,
The AGW agenda is ready for dismissal.
So let me exclaim, as this fades out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

FREAKING FAILURE

(December 22, 2013) The President answered none of the important questions put to him Friday such as, according to his Obamacare chief Security Information Officer, she warned her superiors who would have told Kathleen Sebelius that the site was a mess and why didn't you know, Mr. President

Is Obamacare the equivalent of choking a man, saying
that the man is choking, and promising him a watermelon to fix it?

Why not ask - Isn't this last change in the Obamacare mandate a capitulation to the argument that Obamacare math doesn't add up - that more people have lost insurance than gotten insurance or Aren't those Million people who have signed up not really signed up because there's no way to pay or Isn't Obamacare the equivalent of choking a man, saying that man is choking, and promising him a watermelon

I'd have been happy if they'd had asked, "Mr. President, why don't you just come clean and admit your presidency and the Democrat message in general is a freaking failure" The mainstream media won't, of course, because they are dedicated to defying Acton's Axiom. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, great men are most often bad, and there is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder."

The President is not God. His office is not sanctified. And, frankly, this president isn't much of a President, either.
 

ABOUT PHIL AND A&E

(December 20, 2013) This whole mess with Duck Dynasty is what you get when the media ignores real news. I don't watch the show, but I don't watch Dance Mothers, either. All I'm going to say about the situation is this..

Duck Dynasty Cast

Phil Robertson has the right to say anything that isn't slanderous or libelous. He was asked by GQ about his personal belief and he answered. A&E has every right to fire the duck call makers or adjust their contract but must also answer to any tort in their legal contract.

Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, Buddha, even Mohammed warned about what happens when a believer treads in the path of the world and its temptations. The world does not care about the spirit, and you have to decide whether or not you want live in the world, but not be a part of it, because this is what happens.
 

DOES NOT COMPUTE! DOES NOT COMPUTE!

(December 18, 2013) So, the President calls in a bunch of pointy-headed computer executives from companies that have supported him, politically. This summoning of the monied faithful is supposed to make it look as if he's personally trying to fix the horror that is Obamacare. And if you don't know anything about the greater world of computer companies, that may be exactly what you thought happened, yesterday.

It's just that what happened was nothing like what you may have thought. My source says that he asked them to find ways to sell Obamacare better and to help his even newer website guru to get his act together. Whether the source is right or not, calling on these people to help him is like asking the pointy headed executive from the comic strip, Dilbert, for help! And THAT would be a disaster. Here's an example Dibert to explain why..

Example of pointy-headed executives, with no apologies to Scott Adams,
since this is precisely what he cartoons about, on a daily basis..

What these overpaid hucksters CAN do is send some of THEIR programmers to the White House staff to explain to them just how bad a job the original software was and how poorly the entire Obamacare program is working. It's ALL that they can do.

I don't know this for a fact, but I'm guessing the software is being re-written under the public lie that it's being "fixed." We DO know that Obama and his crew KNEW that the software sucked, long before the first deadline. We are learning every day more information about how much they knew about the projected failure that Obamacare was, BEFORE the 2012 ELECTION.

Scott Adams, before becoming insanely famous for his hilarious cartoon career, was a computer programmer at a very large computer company. The engineers were smart and the execs were mostly dumb - as simple as that. Understand, now, how come Obama's response is so completely Obama-like
 

A CENTURY OF MESSING WITH OUR MONEY

(December 16, 2013) No-one speaks more eloquently about the danger of the Federal Reserve than former Congressman Ron Paul, MD (R-Texas). He wrote a great piece on the 100th Anniversary of the Fed which happens this coming week (Dec 23). After looking all over the net, I found it on a temporary website dedicated to Dr. Paul's ideas. I am reprinting it here, with permission.

A week from now, the Federal Reserve System will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding. Resulting from secret negotiations between bankers and politicians at Jekyll Island, the Fed's creation established a banking cartel and a board of government overseers that has grown ever stronger through the years. One would think this anniversary would elicit some sort of public recognition of the Fed's growth from a quasi-agent of the Treasury Department intended to provide an elastic currency, to a de facto independent institution that has taken complete control of the economy through its central monetary planning. But just like the Fed's creation, its 100th anniversary may come and go with only a few passing mentions.

Like many other horrible and unconstitutional pieces of legislation, the bill which created the Fed, the Federal Reserve Act, was passed under great pressure on December 23, 1913, in the waning moments before Congress recessed for Christmas with many Members already absent from those final votes. This underhanded method of pressuring Congress with such a deadline to pass the Federal Reserve Act would provide a foreshadowing of the Fed's insidious effects on the US economy - with actions performed without transparency..

My favorite pic of Ron Paul. He looks like he's about to
excoriate some poor dumb congressperson.

Ostensibly formed with the goal of preventing financial crises such as the Panic of 1907, the Fed has become increasingly powerful over the years. Rather than preventing financial crises, however, the Fed has constantly caused new ones. Barely a few years after its inception, the Fed's inflationary monetary policy to help fund World War I led to the Depression of 1920. After the economy bounced back from that episode, a further injection of easy money and credit by the Fed led to the Roaring Twenties and to the Great Depression, the worst economic crisis in American history..

But even though the Fed continued to make the same mistakes over and over again, no one in Washington ever questioned the wisdom of having a central bank. Instead, after each episode the Fed was given more and more power over the economy. Even though the Fed had brought about the stagflation of the 1970s, Congress decided to formally task the Federal Reserve in 1978 with maintaining full employment and stable prices, combined with constantly adding horrendously harmful regulations. Talk about putting the inmates in charge of the asylum!.

Now we are reaping the noxious effects of a century of loose monetary policy, as our economy remains mired in mediocrity and utterly dependent on a stream of easy money from the central bank. A century ago, politicians failed to understand that the financial panics of the 19th century were caused by collusion between government and the banking sector. The government's growing monopoly on money creation, high barriers to entry into banking to protect politically favored incumbents, and favored treatment for government debt combined to create a rickety, panic-prone banking system. Had legislators known then what we know now, we could hope that they never would have established the Federal Reserve System..

Today, however, we do know better. We know that the Federal Reserve continues to strengthen the collusion between banks and politicians. We know that the Fed's inflationary monetary policy continues to reap profits for Wall Street while impoverishing Main Street. And we know that the current monetary regime is teetering on a precipice. One hundred years is long enough. End the Fed.
 

IRONY AS SCATTERLINGS OF MEMORIES FROM YEARS PAST

(December 13, 2013) Let's pause for a moment from the lies of Sebelius and Obama and the admission, yesterday - just calling people who aren't insured, "insured", that Obamacare is a certifiable failure and the Lie of the Year. Let's pause from the the obvious stupidity of the 2-year budget passed by RINOS and Democrats in the House (I've read it now - it's crap).

Instead, let's enjoy the humor of the pompous jackasses, using the Mandela funeral to make themselves look important. There is not one single bit of film or video which does not include a picture of the (literally) crazy faux-signer, putting an ironic twist to the whole event.

No.. seriously.. he.. kept.. his.. doctor..

There is no doubt that Mandela was generous in his victory over apartheid. There is also no doubt that he was an avowed communist and murderer. So, it is only fitting that his solemnization in death should be punctuated by a fraudulent clown, who claims to be a violent psychotic (his words.) "A little mundane Karma, comin' down."

The whole thing reminds me of the interpreter scene in the wonderfully funny Woody Allen movie, Bananas. There is no way to properly describe it except to watch it, which is what you can do, here

.
"My name is Mr. Hernandez, the official interpreter."

..And this skit from SNL here

.
"Garrett Morris, Chevy Chase."

An irony is a terrible thing to waste..
 

OK, GO AHEAD AND YELL AT ME!

(December 12, 2013) I cannot decide which is better. I want every United States' citizen to focus on Obamacare, Benghazi, IRS, CIA, NSA, Drones, Illegal Aliens. And part of me says the budget deal is a good thing for that reason - we don't need to worry about closing down the government.

The other part of me says the forced reduction of spending we had is better than any budget. It calls out to me that the Democrats will not keep their word and that they get to spend, spend, spend, while we won't get a cut until 2022.

Rep Paul Ryan looking for a via media..

But I also know that we have about 10 months until the most important by-election in the history of our country. I'm going to wait a little before condemning or condoning the budget deal. In any case, let's all focus on what's important - getting rid of the influence of Barack Obama - the biggest liar since Lincoln. But in the case of Lincoln, his lies eventually led to the end of slavery - Obama's lies are heading us back to that damnable direction.
 

BEST QUARTERBACK IN USC HISTORY COMPLETELY IGNORED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The amazing number 14

(December 10, 2013) If only Carolina had beaten Tennessee. Oh well.....
 

WHY DUMPING HARRY REID IS CRITICAL

(December 9, 2013) As the world scrambles to pay homage to the half-hero, half-murderer whose actions are forgiven by many because of his forgiveness of so many who had harmed him, the MSM rushes away from the pathetic story of the Left's fallen Idol. Well, everybody except a few citizen-journalist sites and Fox News. And there is no doubt that Obama's domestic policies are ruinous (except among his true believers and actual climate science deniers). It seems as if Americans have not forgotten, either, and in fact, are getting very upset about all of the lying and cheating. But, there is another, more sinister problem.

There is no real deal with Iran. Yes, we were all told that Iran would step down producing fissile materials. Iran promised not to make atomic or hydrogen bombs. They promised. But they have not stopped making the stuff which can make the arms of world-wide nightmares.

Of course, Obama is a liar. Of course, SecState John Kerry has no functional sense of reality. Of course Iran lies about anything they wish. And, of course, Obama could give a fig about the existence of Israel. When you put all these things together, there is only one conclusion - Obama must either be planning for a nuclear eradication of America's only strong friend in the Middle East, or he is so incompetent, that he does not realize his actions are allowing Iran to force the Middle East toward nuclear eradication of Israel.

Getting rid of Harry Reid is the key to saving Israel.

There is a way to solve this problem, now. Nevada must recall or impeach Harry Reid. Now. The Republican Governor must replace Reid with a sane person, preferably a Republican sane person. This will force the Senate to return to sanity, blocking the monstrous nominations of known socialists and communists to life-term judgeships, and creating a working spectre of impeachment to control the out-of-control President.

And while we are replacing people, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell must also be replaced. Conservatives and Republicans must have mighty and believable voices to speak, not just to congress, but to ALL the American people. Several of these people exist and are READY to replace Boehner and McConnell - who may be good people in every other respect - are both incredibly ineffective public communicators.
 

I GIVE UP!

(December 6, 2013) As of today, I officially quit writing about the market. Investors are so remarkably stupid, it's breathtaking! I got rid of my final stock holdings, bought some land, and a couple of things that will have value in a severe bubble-bust. It's as if the Administration has convinced people that their lies are real.

So that's it. No more telling you what's happening with Wall Street. From now on, it's employment & real economics, crime & taxes, fun & science, lies & politics. See you investors after the 2014 election, when the government fesses up, and you're left holding a bag without a parachute.

ON THE JOBS FRONT - the employment numbers are false - they don't reflect the millions who simply can't find a job.
 

US GROWTH NOT UP 3.6%

(December 5, 2013) IT'S A COMPLETE LIE! The US GDP numbers are a complete fraud. In another month, you're going to see a retracement by at least 1.7% - citing a misreading due to high inventory levels. There is huge excess capacity. Now that the Administration is feeding phony numbers to the bean counters, politics is king, not facts. Believe Obama's numbers at your own peril.

Personally, I don't think the Administration will stop printing paper until after the 2014 election, after which, it won't matter, politically, until 2016.
 

DANG! OBAMA JUST LIED, AGAIN!

Presidential Pep Rally! Lying to hide the lies about lying to protect him from
his complete health care program failure

(December 4, 2013) 5,000,000 people have lost their insurance, so far. You probably AREN'T going to get a subsidy, but you won't know it, until after you've committed and it's too late. 50,000 people per day actually TRYING to enroll, will still CRASH the website. EVERYONE who commits is being cued - EVERYONE. 30% of the people who have alrady signed up ARE NOT ACTUALLY SIGNED UP! The security is so bad, that a kid with a simple hack software program he bought for $28 can get every single bit of information you gave Obama and his health time. We've now learned that there is no way to reimburse the private insurance companies.

You will, most probably, lose your doctor or not get to see him often enough. The amount of money you'll be paying is MORE, not Less for your deductible. The amount of money you'll be paying is MORE, not Less for your monthly payment, if you have current insurance. ONLY the those who cannot afford Obamacare will be able to afford it. After all is said and done, 30,000,000 people will still not have insurance. The worst part is that the payment system is not finished and may not be until October 2014.

Today, Barack Hussein Obama said, in a pep rally, things that completely contradict these facts. We also learned just last night that the budget for healthcare in any one fiscal year is UNKNOWABLE! Please, understand how important this fact - which is being ignored - is.

When will this end, this lying to hide the lies about lying to protect him from his complete failure as a American President
 

MILLION DOLLAR BABY

(December 3, 2013) Have you seen this, yet Take a good look at this picture..

This is art

These blocks of stone cost the State Department $1,000,000. It was approved by Hillary Clinton - probably another thing that went out over her signature that she didn't know anything about, like Benghazi. This is what the jaded and corrupted airheads in New York and DC call "art." The blocks were piled onto each other by Irish-born artist Sean Scully (not THAT Scully).

Art is said to be in the eye of the beholder. Apparently, the eyes of the glitterati are deficient. To be blunt: IT'S A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!

Of course, that never kept a Clinton from spending. They've always taken our hard earned taxes for granite.
 

STILL VERY TWITCHY - STILL VERY UNSAFE

(December 2, 2013) Actually, we're talking about Obama's foreign policy. Then, again, that could also apply to most all of Obama's efforts.
 

Goodbye, Mr. Seay!

(December 1, 2013) I have a picture of Jim Seay somewhere in my pile of old Gamecock & Columbia memorabilia (not the one you see, here). In it, he is approximately 25 years old - maybe a little older. I remember, when I filed it (which is the same thing as throwing it into a shoebox) that I couldn't tell in which radio station it was taken- he worked at all of them.

Small picture of Jim in his later years. He died Wednesday.

Jim - or "Mr. Seay" to me - was a very, very funny guy. His humor was what you might call "harbor humor." It was earthy and abrupt, but funny as all get-out. He did not suffer fools well. No, not at all. So, it was a complete surprise to me, that he liked me at all. But for some reason, he did.

It wasn't that Jim Seay was full of himself - far from it. But he knew his limitations were few, as well they should have been, considering what he overcame in his youth. He didn't like to talk about his early days - probably because they were unpleasant. Most people outside the business knew that he had a cleft pallet. Growing up in the 30's & 40's, well-done hairlip (lievré fendu) operations were rare or non-exsitent. Jim got one but was left with a severe speech impediment.

Needless to say, he was made fun of. Jim told me, one time, "you have to learn to brush off the nitwits and work like hell to beat it" [the speech challenge]. As you may guess, he beat it - so much so that most people were surprised to the the scar.

That's pretty much all I know about Mr. Jim Seay, except that I respected him. I hadn't seen him for years, but I had heard he had gone off on his own instead of working for one of the morons who ran radio in Columbia at that time.

I will make one observation: As these giants in radio die, one by one, we are losing a history that is being written in the second person - written by people who don't know what it was like - the good, the awful - the saints and the villains. And that's a shame.
 

- Dick Anderson.
