So Long. Farewell. Adieu to Yen and You.

Put another way, here's my wall of worry:

1. Currency collapse. No glazing of the eyes! This concept is NOT hard, soccer moms.  Keep your eye on the curve!  The dollar is melting.  Watch this video and look at the yield (interest rate -- or, in super-plain English, the cost to borrow).

 

2. Religious-freedom collapse. No Bible-thumping, I promise.  But this is easy.  If you're a liberal, you gotta' ask yourself:  what the hell is going on in Pakistan?  Libya? Egypt? Syria? Yemen?  What does a real war on women look like?  See Sharia law.  War on gays and gay sex, much less marriage?  Yowza.  See Sharia law.  War on free speech?  See Sharia law. 

But whatever.  What I want to know is this:  what the heck is my neighbor doing putting up that nativity scene in her yard?  It totally offends me.  "Live and let live," is my motto.  Whatever motto is yours, my motto is multi-culti-monotheistic-agnostic-ethnic-tolerant-worshipping-of-whatever-non-theological-non-judgmental-sesame-seed-loving-WICCAN-feminist bitch-that-ever-lived and I totally LOVE you.  So go on, practice your religion-- as long as you're not Christian.  Are we clear?

Because if your display is remotely Christian, I've got a HUGE problem with that.  Get it out of my face.  It's impinging.  It's infringing.  Also?  I'm calling the police and I'll have you arrested. Have you no concept of separation of church and state?  See also, Sharia law.

3. Privacy collapse. Oh, wait. That's already happened. Hooray.  See this tit for that tat.  Bother, bother -- for those who have something to hide, that is.  So . . .  do you have something to hide?  DO YOU?  Bet you do, you cretin!

For years I've dreamt of the day my dentist would have access to the State's pharmaceutical data base.  If I'm bipolar, I want to be loud and proud!  If I was temporarily blue and feeling a tad depressed, postpartum?  Put that in my medical records now and FOREVAH.  Because I'm proud of that psychotic baby bump. Memorialize my weakness now and for time immemorial.  And God help us both, let me NEVER buy a gun!

It's been years since I got a charge out of going to my dentist. But he will soon have unfettered access to my medical records, thanks to Obamacare, and I can't wait to see him.  Because my life is an open book, and my life is so very interesting!  I LOVE forced sharing.  I've never met a doctor I didn't like -- EVER! -- and there will never be a doctor (after he sees my chart) who doesn't love me.  Right?  Right?  Koom-by-yah-my-Lord.  Koom-by-doc.

So, anyway, I'm writing a federal software program to track and record all alcohol purchases (thank you TAXPAYERS!).  So exciting!  And challenging (and job-validating!  Alcoholism is epidemic, you know!). When I finish up, the government will know every time you buy an ounce of spirits, and may jolly-well cut you off!  And I'll know whenever my doctor buys an ounce of spirits -- because, in my position, I can totally tap that!  What could be lovelier?  

Ya Vol!

4. Responsibility collapse.  Repeat after me:  there is no such thing as good or evil.  Notions like "good and evil" bring to mind religious themes.  Stop that religious abomination now.  In point of fact, there is no God.  There are only mental illnesses and those damnable white-male guns carried around by white-male crazies doped up on pharmaceuticals.  So there.  

Similarly, there are no heroes or villains in this world.  There are only neuro-typical (or non-neuro-typical) individuals who fail to act within normative neuro-typical parameters -- and their behavior depends on their level of non-neuro-typicality. And the government gets the last word on who is and isn't neurotypical -- including YOU! So shut the f*ck up now.  Now then.  Are we clear?

We are all subjects, acting without regard to our faith, gender, sex religion, or creed, free will, or -- perish the thought -- mental illness.  GO, ROBOTS!  We are so very feeble and in dire need of a powerful government to help us eat its screed.

The good do good because . . . well, we are still pondering that.  Social scientists are still scratching their heads.  But the bad unidentifiable, non-neuro-typical actors in our midst are moved to violence because they've been bullied -- or they've been instigated or incited by gun manufacturers or movie-makers or medication manufacturers, all in a push to act!  

So, NO PROFILING of these people.  It is WRONG.  The answer is to punish the law abiding.  Because we HAVE to do SOMETHING.

When asked whether the film industry should stop propagating school violence, Quentin Tarantino responded, "Give me a break." [QT has also said he will say the N-word wherever and however often he pleases, despite his undisputed whiteness.  Whenever he's accused of racism he becomes most indignant.  But that's okay:  as long as he's acting as a journalist, he is fully indemnified from the charge of racism.  Cf., David Gregory.  Also? Leftists, by definition, cannot be racist, so why on God's earth are we even talking about this?]

When someone on Facebook asked how the "gun community" planned to stem school violence, one response was, "I dunno'. What is the gay community going do about Penn State?" (Source: @GayPatiot and @Instapundit via Twitter)  What a ridiculous non-sequitur.  Who's buying me fried rice?

Bah.  Racism.  So tiresome, yet so inescapable.  It's everywhere you look and everywhere you don't.  Wolf!  Wolf!

In less reported news (and I intend no irony here) a young man, described as borderline-genius, got it in his head that he'd contracted Aspbergers from his father.  Accordingly, he killed his father's girlfriend and then his college-professor dad -- in front of his father's students -- with a bow and arrow.  He drove all the way from Connecticut to Wyoming to kill the pair.  I know, right?!  WTF is up with Connecticut?  Ban that state, man.

In other (mostly) unreported news, a gunman fled a nail salon in Casper, Wyoming, after a female nail patron pulled out her own gun.   So those Casper people don't want to be ghosts.  Curious.

Jake Tapper queried the President at his daily briefing (Whoa. Stop! Not daily at all! His bicentennial briefing, I meant to say) and Obama got irked, declaring:  "What are you talking about, Jake?  That female nail-salon patron didn't stop that gunman.  SHE DID NOT STOP HIM.  It was the roads and bridges that allowed the gunman to get there." 

Hmm?  What's that?  The nail salon lady's old mom had joie de' vivre and should therefore be allowed to live?  Oh, you silly!  Don't be pilly!

5.  Collapse of climate change:  Ah.  This may be one collapse that's all right by me.

Stevie Wonder's New Middle-Eastern Obama Rap Song

Loyalty to Obama knows no bounds.


Still, Stevie, belly-dancers would have been a nice touch. Because, hells bells, you only mention women once.

And then there's my personal favorite.  The lyrics, all true, are frequently sung by my spunky son at school:

DC's Blind Libyan Mice! See How They Run! They've All Gone After a Video Splice and Cut Off Their Tales with a Carving Knife

Credit: AP

What really happened in Libya? Oh, where to begin, because who wants to think about where this will end? We've still got Syria. And Egypt is only getting started.

First of all, to compare the Benghazi massacre and the White House's subsequent cover-up(s) to Watergate is to make all of this unbearably and offensively picayune. So, please, no more of that. Much worse than Watergate, and fearsomely I hope to transmit, it's as big as the world.

My executive summary?  The White House -- as part of its Muslim outreach/appeasement pogrom program -- armed Libyan rebel forces with RPGs.  Also left over from Qadiffi's tenure were other very bad stuffs. The rebels successfully ousted Qaddifi and installed radical Islamists. And then the White House had a very, very big OOPS moment.  As the crude and the crass might put it: "Oh, holy shit."

We had to get those RPGs and other bad things back from the radical Islamists we'd armed and who were now in power. And by golly, do it fast, said the Prez. I'm running a presidential campaign here.  Step on it.

So we duly and dutifully -- and, some might say, unmercifully -- sent a SEAL team over to Libya on a super-secret covert mission to recover these weapons and save the world. (Sadly, I'm not being melodramatic. And if you want to quibble whether these heroes were current or former SEALs, we're already joined on the relevant issues, so never mind.)  

Chris Stevens -- only just appointed as our Ambassador to Libya in May -- was in Benghazi to assist.  He immediately realized the fans were spinning wildly;  his embassy's walls were covered in it.

Stevens begged for more security.  His frantic beseechings were inarguably well-informed and widely ignored.  Instead, the White House (oops, sorry, Uncle Joe -- I meant the unsupervised supervised State Department) left Stevens twisting. "Stop asking for more security, damn it!" the State Department derisively admonished him.

Apparently the White House deemed our covert weapons recovery mission more important.  Extra security would surely have alerted the radical Islamists that something was up, that perhaps our SEALs were about to pay them a friendly little visit. 

So, after weighing the costs, it seems Obama determined that secretly recovering the weapons -- weapons we should have never given these crazies in the first place -- was more important than Chris Stevens's life.  

Because if Obama's weapons mission failed, you see, well, then, things could get dicey. And very egg-on-the-facey. And that just wouldn't do.

But it all went to hell anyway, as we very well now know, when our embassy was attacked. The nearby SEALs heard and ran to the battle to save Ambassador Stevens and other embassy personnel, but they, too, were killed.  

Result?  Our covert weapons mission was blown and the radicals still have our weapons.  Worse, Islamic radicals across the world are now crazily emboldened.

Yet we wonder why the FBI couldn't get into Libya for weeks?  Still some are befuddled why the White House scrambled to cover all of this up?

Now, I don't claim to have put this all together.  Oh, to be so clever.  No, I saw it here and there and lots of other wheres.  But the theory did sound a bit radical so I decided to do some research and see what claims, if any, I could verify on my own.

I wondered if the theory was not only plausible, but documented elsewhere in "neutral" media reports.  Yes. And, yes.

The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle indeed fall into place, fully corroborated -- at least in my view -- by "respected" media outlets:

* Clinton said she asked Chris Stevens to be our special envoy to the Libyan rebel forces, early on in the uprising against Qaddifi.

* Our national security advisor -- Tom Donilon -- said the US considered the Libyan rebels "civilians" and the US had a mission to "protect" them.

* The Guardian reported on Obama's secret request that the Saudis arm the Libyan rebels on behalf of the U.S. (the US would of course foot the bill).  The brilliant plan was designed to leave no US fingerprints.

* The New York Times verified as much, reporting US and NATO forces were intensely coordinating the rebels' military actions.

* ABC reported that at least one of the SEALs killed defending our embassy was there on a mission to recover weapons.

* CBS reports that our military could have intervened and saved, or at least tried to save, our Ambassador and others.  But Obama (sorry again, Joe; I mean the State Department) did nothing.  Nothing but listen to the attack on a live, real-time audio feed, that is.

* Yes, Gadaffi was atrocious. But he was our atrocious; the U.S. had him under control.

* Now, thanks to our open-arms appeasement policy, the radical Islamists are taking over.  Everywhere.

One result is an almost unfathomable suppression of women's rights.  Sharia law is now embedded into Egypt's draft constitution on the eve of its adoption. Hillary, champion of women's rights? It's 3AM time.  Pick up the phone.

Just days ago, the Taliban shot two Pakistani girls who merely demanded an education. Mr. President, you called Sandra Fluke, as I recall;  her feelings were hurt after she was parodied for demanding free $9.00/month birth control. Have you called Malala or Kaitan yet?  They're really and seriously hurting.

* The world is now swirling in an utter shit-storm because of Obama's incredibly stupid naive foreign policies. "US Administration: From Fighting Terrorism to Supporting Radical Islam" was a recent headline in the Sudan Tribune.

Obama, in his arrogance, imagined he could charm the pants off of radical Islamists with his charismatic, multi-culti open arms;  he thought that if we were nice to them, they'd be nice to us.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.  These guys are not rational, Mr. President, even if they do flagrantly sip on fragrant frappes.  Wake up and smell the jihad. 

With all due respect and earnest prayers for a pardon, I trust you'll forgive me when I borrow a line from the evil insurance adjuster in Grisham's novel Rainmaker.  It went something like, "You are stupid, stupid, stupid!"

In other news, President Obama opted to appear on "The View" rather than meet with Israel's Netanyahu.  As for a one-on-one with Iranian President Cray Cray?  No problemo. A meeting -- for just the two of them -- is already in the works.  

But let's not jump to conclusions here.  Maybe Obama is working on a Psychiatry degree or something.

Meanwhile, the Middle East boils like a cauldron, a veritable witches' brew. Has this all hit home yet?  It appears so to me.  Happy Halloween.

Obama's Theme Song

So I'm out of town and trying to blog on my iPad. Ha! Old age ain't for sissies, so apologies in advance if this is a sh*tty link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxQS6lfn0yU&feature=youtube_gdata_player Be sure to listen to the lyrics. Damn, but these guys were prescient. Copyright © 2012, www.lawyermommusings.blogspot.com. All rights reserved.

ABC News: Obama Admin. Covered Up Libyan Attack

Sit down for this one, sports fans. ABC is finally, finally reporting -- to "low information" voters -- about the Obama administration's massive and deliberate cover-up. The Obama Administration knew our Ambassador to Libya had been assassinated by terrorists within 24 hours of the attack. 

Yet still, Obama clung to the ludicrous claim that our ambassador was killed because of some cheaply spliced and diced, dubbed Youtube concoction, posted to the internet on July 2nd.  Don't believe me? Watch this:



For shame, for shame -- particularly since early voting has already started in many states. 

By the time "low information" voters realize Obama flat-out lied to them, untold numbers will have already voted.

 

Of course, the mainstream media's coverage of this massive foreign policy failure remains tepid. Still, Jake Tapper's report is a start. 

In other news, 15 days after the attack, still there were no FBI boots on the ground in Benghazi. Crazy, isn't it? Mind-boggling. Maybe the FBI could use a few tips from CNN, which seemed to have no trouble getting its reporters' boots on the ground. 

Finally, in case you missed it. The State Department's phrase of the week is-- oops! Never mind. Not printable. But I can tell you the State Department's word of the month. It's "Disgusting."

Free Graffiti for Mona, No Free Speech for Thee

The woman shown in the video below, a former Reuters reporter and MSNBC contributor -- and an Egyptian who recently availed herself of the benefits of American citizenship -- appointed herself the final arbiter of what is and is not acceptable speech. Never mind that the advertisement she defaced was bought and paid for by another American citizen.

 

Mona's was a non-violent, peaceful protest against racism and all that, says she, who publicized her intention to spray-paint the sign well in advance. Blah, blah, blah. Blather, blather, blather. But in this country, you can say it, baby girl, so blather away. 

But I daresay we all hope Mona's hot-pink misdemeanor is seen as nothing more than "responsible" "free speech."  What a shame if it brought on more protests and American deaths in Muslim countries.  Because that would seem-- well, gosh, irresponsible.  And violence inciting!

In any event, here's a suggestion for you, Mona, while we're on the topic of rational thinking and being responsible:  you respect my right to speak as much as I respect yours, and we'll get along just fine.

But I do have a question for you, given your anti-misogyny campaign: would it be okay with you if a radical Islamist, whom you'd grossly offended, defaced a pro-woman advertisement you yourself had made and paid for?  Just wondering.

P.S. Anyway, Mona, thanks for leaving your RPG at home.
