Speaking Truth to Stupidity

Earlier this week, deep thinker Rosie O'Donnell enthralled 9/11 conspiracy theorists everywhere by repeating one of their idiotic charges. If you wish an informed response, read more. If you prefer to live in Rosie O'Donnell's world of monosyllabic ignorance, stop here.

Rosie O'Donnell's shameful (to ABC) shilling for 9/11 conspiracy nuts has been answered by somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.

The contrast in style alone is dramatic.

Democratic Congress - No More Pork

Well, Nancy Pelosi has managed to accomplish one of her campaign promises - sort of.

As promised, the Democrat-led Congress has gotten rid of pork barrel spending, with a lot of help from their stooges in the MSM.

“Conservatives Oppose Pet Projects” read the headline over the March 27 story by Andrew Taylor. The word “pork” was never used.

“Senate GOP Will Not Block Iraq Bill” by Ann Flaherty of AP on March 26 also called the waste “pet projects.” She too did not use “pork” once.

Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times also deployed the “pet projects” euphemism in his March 27 story, “Republicans to Rely on President Bush’s Veto to Block Troop Withdrawal Plan.” He did use “pork” once, but only in a direct quote from one of those bitter Republican senators.

So there you have it. When Democrats lard up an emergency bill, Washington reporters say it is for “pet projects.”

Fun with the Downtown Pullman Cam

At approximately 10:30pm on Friday, March 30th, I captured this photo from the Downtown Pullman Cam (or whatever it's officially titled) while reading over Palousitics:


Clearly, this vehicle belongs to a PARDner. That this is so is evidenced by the fact that it is parked too far away from the curb and is impeding the flow of traffic. However, true to the essence of PARDners, though this is an undue inconvenience that must be dealt with, it is merely a minor annoyance that any dedicated individual can get around and leave in their dust, only to be bothered by the view of the PARDner in his or her rear view mirror, if he or she even bothers to look back.

Meanwhile, the PARDner gets slapped with a well-deserved civil penalty for being stupid and unjustly inconveniencing others.

Perhaps we have a metaphorical crystal ball on Main Street tonight?

A Brand for the Palouse?

According to today's Moscow-Pullman Daily News:

"A group of representatives from throughout the Palouse are looking to create a branding image for the so-called "Knowledge Corridor."
...
[Moscow Chamber of Commerce Interim Director Janice] McMillan said through the Knowledge Corridor concept she hopes to attract businesses that can help the area grow.

Considering Nancy Chaney, Mark Solomon, PARD, No Super WalMart, stalking herons, frolicking cute bunnies, viewsheds, used $40 bikes, charming valleys, tiny brooks, European cities, sweatshop forums, Main Street, unique rural character, a thousand other places, etc. ad nauseum, here is my entry for the "knowledge corridor" branding contest:


Why not? My brand would accomplish the same thing as what we read in the newspaper every day and save both paper and ink.

Why bother encouraging growth at all when there are people in the community doing everything they can to stop it?

Immigration Reform: Encouraging Signs

[Cross posted from Versus the Mob]

The news out of D.C. this morning is that the White House has been at work on an immigration reform bill that does not equate to a free pass for some 11 to 12 million law breakers.

The first story I found on this was posted to CNN.com and can be read in full here:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/30/immigration.ap/
The key feature of the proposal that impresses me is that for an illegal to receive permanent residency, he or she must first return to their country of origin, apply to enter legally, and pay a $10,000 fine.

Otherwise, an illegal can apply for one of these so-called "plan Z" visas and legally work here for three years at a time, paying $3,500 to renew the visa at the end of each three year period. This will also have the effect of putting illegals on the radar as far as employment goes, which will likely put an end to their appeal as cheap labor in many industries.

But what I really like about this plan is that it does not potentially create 12 million voters overnight, the kind of voters whom leftists could easily buy with promises of lavish government benefits.
