Drivel from the port side

Looks like my instincts didn't fail me the other day in my post -- No Country for Old Conservatives

Sometimes I feel like Tommy Lee Jones, some-times I don't; but mostly I do.

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com confirms my thoughts with the following:

"How far left do people have to be for the New York Times to call them “far Left”? 

"MoveOn?  International ANSWER?  Young Communists?  William Yardley discovers them in — surprise! — Portland, Oregon, and also discovers that the natives are restless after the last few weeks of Barack Obama flip-flops."

Ed explains that the extreme left in major Pac N/W cities switched from the Greens to the Dems because of His Holiness--B. Hussein Obama. Now, angered by his failure to charge farther and farther left, they're going back to the enviro-whacko party. Ed report hat one such Portland fifth-columnist's house  windows feature banners such as “Occupation is Terrorism” and “Free Gaza”.

And you thought I exaggerate in calling the enviro-movement home to hard line 60s-era socialists and Communists. 

Ever wonder why females are addicted to "Law and Order"?

Here's a hint here thanks to one of  the toughest bloggers anywhere, Debbie Schlussell:

Saturday's Wall Street Journal reports that  L&O creator Dick Wolf is going mano-a-mano with NBC/Universal suits over the $750 million syndication fortune he'll earn from the re-runs.

Wolf be purty damned smart.. he knows his audience for the five-show, 20-year- long franchise... he calls it's success... the "Triumph of the Familiar".

And as usual with such "Hollywood" lefties, there's a blatant agenda caught by Debbie: 

One way Mr. Wolf maintains this consistency is by making most of the victims wealthy white people, which he believes viewers are more interested in watching. He limits the number of shows containing minority victims, including blacks and Muslims, to four or five episodes a season out of 22 to 24.

She continues:

That means, under Wolf's mandate, up to 83% of the criminals on L&O in a 24 episode season will be rich Whites. The lowest figure, based on the Wolf formula, can be 77%.

But--since "Law and Order" focuses on murders--here's a reality check, courtesy of the Manhattan Institute's Heather McDonald:

In 2005, the black homicide rate was over seven times higher than that of whites and Hispanics combined, according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. From 1976 to 2005, blacks committed over 52 percent of all murders in America. In 2006, the black arrest rate for most crimes was two to nearly three times blacks' representation in the population. Blacks constituted 39.3 percent of all violent-crime arrests, including 56.3 percent of all robbery and 34.5 percent of all aggravated-assault arrests, and 29.4 percent of all property-crime arrests.

Entertainment or brain-washing?

... chung chung.

This just in:

George "Uh, Better Late than Never" Bush has removed the executive ban on offshore drilling that has stood since his father (that other really conservative Republican) was president. Details here.

Don't get excited... there's another ban on drilling... a Democrat federal law has prevented off-shore drilling since 1981.

Don't like paying $4.50 a gallon?... hang it on your leftie sister-in-law voting for democrats.  

The Gubernator sucks up to Messiahbama:

George Stephanopoulos: “If he were president and he called (about a cabinet post), you would at least take that call?”

Gubernator: “I would take his call now, I will take his call when he's President. Any time."

You catch "when"? 

Lastly...

Remember when the leftist news media stopped working for a week or longer when NBC's Tim Russert died unexpectedly?  

Stephanopoulos' network was able to summon up all of 30 seconds for Tony Snow's obit yesterday; seems to be about the same for the rest, except FGox, of course which was dignified--like Tony.

Tony got a lot more attention on the LA Times' website, which the piece of crap rag refuses to remove (this is just a tiny fraction of such filth):

-- CANCER WAS TOO GOOD FOR HIM. HOPE IT WAS PAINFUL. NOW FOR THE REST OF THIS SCUMMY ADMINISTRATION. COME ON CANCER, DO YOUR GOOD WORK………………..”

• “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the first day of a Tony Snow-free world! Yay!!!!”
• I only wish his suffering were more prolonged.”
• I hope he suffered at the end. Just a terrible person.”
• I hope the rest of these criminals die too. Good riddance to a person who contributed to making this world a worse place.
• Its unfortunate he won’t be able to see the damage he helped inflict on this country and the world. I wonder how he likes hell.
• Good riddance , we still have a white house full of liars
  and American soldiers being slaughtered. if Cheney strokes
  then change will begin , as for Bush he is just to stupid
  to die and when he dies bury him at home in IRAQ.
• I only wish his suffering were more prolonged.
• How come it couldn’t have happened to someone really evil like Dick Cheney?
• The question begs to be asked, is it possible to die when you don’t have a soul.
• I hope he suffered at the end. Just a terrible person.
• Welcome, Mr. Snow. I believe your roommate, Mr. Helms, has already arrived.

I'm not so much amazed at the reaction to the cover as I am to the judgement of the editors of New Yorker. They are genuinely surprised that no one "gets" their attempt at pro-Obama satire... not even the Obamaphiles.

Continued ado about nothing - anything to distract the mob from thinking about the REAL issues.
