It would be easy to jump on the topic of College Football right now with all the media days from the various conferences either currently or preparing to be held, but here on the levee we take pride in not falling in line. There will be plenty of that to come, fear not, but at this juncture it seems appropriate to aim the cross hairs at our elected walking lobotomies and the regularity of their elementary decision/comments.
Let’s start at the top and work down from there. Like they say, the manure always rolls down hill. Somewhere I think they had Capitol Hill in mind when that was coined. But I digress.
President Barry O decided to use his bully pulpit during the latest installment of “Presidents say the darndest things” to waver off the topic of French health care and address the Cambridge Mass. incident that involved a long time Harvard prof friend and his subsequent arrest for disorderly conduct. Very professional Mr. Pres to weigh in on a simple civil matter when 1) you self-admittedly know nothing of the circumstances 2) have a proven relationship with the defendant, but that has never been an issue now has it (see Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers). It was a clear example of your community organizer roots getting the better of you, but hey if the dog pees inside for 8 years why should we expect him to ask for a dogie door for his 9th birthday. Barry O was asked about this case where Cambridge PD was called to a house by a neighbor reporting that two men were ramming their shoulders into a front door of a residence that was not theirs. The responding officer knocked on the door and was met by Prof. Gates, Harvard African-American Studies Professor, who happened to be occupying the home on loan from the Rice University of the North. One thing led to another and the Prof became belligerent accusing the officer of being “one of those racist cops" and ordered him to leave the property. This went on and on in front of a growing mass of fellow officers and passers by. The prof made the guaranteed one way ticket to the clink comment saying “you don’t know who you’re messing with and I’m going to have your job.” Lets’ be honest we’ve all thought about saying that and some might have even tried, but we all know where it gets you. The officer had enough and decided to take the Prof in for disorderly conduct. So fast forward to the presser planned and scheduled by the Pres himself, seriously how pathetic is it when you have to plan your own “hey look and talk to me party.” When asked about the incident, by apparently some reporter in perfect health who could’ve cared less about some new health care system, Barry O referred to the officer’s actions as “stupid” and went on to say that as a country we have had a historical pattern of racial profiling. First, acknowledging and then responding to that sort of question was the more stupid of the two events. Second, sure wish we would have been doing a little more racial profiling the morning of Sep 11, 2001. Do you really think we aren’t profiled in other countries? Why then are the girls in Ciudad Town of Boys, Mexico sitting with you and not your cab driver? Seriously think about it.
As the levee pointed out a few weeks back while tracking the Dow and it’s response to Jacko’s memorial, one Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston was in attendance and used MJ’s coffin as a soap box to drive her own agenda. Well it has come to light that, while many in Houston mourned the lose of The King of Pop, that was clearly not the business those from her gerrymandered district had in mind, when being bussed to voting stations by Acorn, to cast their X for her in the last election. Turns out she was asked about how her LA trip was funded and this was the dialogue that ensued between SJL and some Wayne Dolcefino in training.
"Who paid for that trip for you to go to that memorial service?" reporter Joel Eisenbaum asked Jackson Lee when she appeared live on the Sunday morning newscast.
"Well, uh ... that ummm ... those resources are resources that I have and, therefore, they are in a way that does not interfere with anything that has to do with serving the United States Congress," answered Jackson Lee.
"Understood," Eisenbaum replied. "So, public funds?"
"Those resources are resources that I have," said Jackson Lee.
You might wonder about the District she reps, well here it is, Texas Congressional District 18, I wonder why they left out that big chunk in the middle? I’m no Census aficionado, but I used to trick or treat a lot, and I would be willing to bet that SJL and those in the “white hole” don’t see eye to eye on most social issues. Feel free to draw your own conclusion.
Folks, here at the levee we are not above reproach, I tried to run over a cat the other day and am willing to admit that, please judge away. We just like to point out the fleecing of our country that seems to be happening right under our very noses from time to time.
