Ever noticed how pruning is one of the never-ending jobs?

And when it's warm, and there's no wind, and it's humid... Lots of stuff done, cut and stacked, and now I'm soaking up tea and sitting under a fan. Reading stuff like this:
Anti-Semitic incidents are common at the University of California at Irvine, and the Muslim Student Union is the major perpetrator. Although not all the antisemitic events at UCI, detailed recently by Kenneth Marcus in Commentary magazine, can be traced to the MSU, those that can include physical and verbal harassment of Jewish students, posters of the Star of David dripping with blood, inversion of Holocaust imagery in which Jews are the new Nazis, and sponsorship of public speakers who accuse Jews of not being able to exist equally with other human beings, as well as accusations that Jews deliberately kill non-Jewish children for nefarious purposes.

For years, the UCI administration has ignored or condoned those activities. But the administration, finally, has sanctioned the MSU for an anti-Israel (not anti-Semitic) incident in which the union on February 8, 2010 continually disrupted a speech by Michael Oren, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States.
Really ought to read it; the listing of crap this protected species was allowed to get away with is disgusting.


The word from the head gigolo in MA:

"The news from Delaware is crystal clear: It's Sarah Palin's party now," Kerry wrote in a fund-raising e-mail titled "Delawow!" distributed yesterday. "We have to fight back. Click here to contribute right now to make sure we defeat the Tea Party extremists."

The Herald quotes Glenn Reynolds, a libertarian law professor whom the paper misidentifies as a "conservative gadfly": "I think the Tea Party couldn't ask for any better publicity than to be denounced by a millionaire who dodges paying taxes on his yacht." Actually, make that a near-billionaire who married another man's fortune.


Awww, aren't progressive racists cute?
BILL MAHER, HOST: Isn’t Obama’s big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it’s because he’s only half black. You know? It’s that, if he was a, if this, if he was fully black, I’m telling you, he would be a better president. There’s a white man in him holding him back because everything is half-assed. The stimulus was half-assed, healthcare is half-assed, let’s talk about Afghanistan.


From Denny's AOTW award post:
William had multiple suggestions:

Mike Castle, the RNSC, the Republican Party and Karl Rove's performance in the Delaware primary

Well deserved selection. I was leaning towards that one.

The idiots in Harlem who sent Charlie Rank-Hole back to congress because he is "the best we've got"

They don't care if Rangel is a crook. Blacks elected Alcee Hastings to Congress and he was impeached and thrown off the bench for being a corrupt judge.

The usual cast of perennial butt holes like the Wee Wee in Chief, the DemoCraps who are running away from their Wee Wee, and the Main Stream Media who are kissing the Wee Wee and the Craps.

That's goes for every week. That's a given.

But William decided on Bill Gates who thinks hiring three teachers is more important than a geezer's life. Wait! Is he advocating death panels? Wait until Bill is on his deathbed. How much do you think he'll be willing to spend to prolong his life? Asshole.



Another piece on the IG deciding to actually investigate the NBPP voter intimidation case; here's the closing bit:
In any event, despite the Obama team’s best efforts to stonewall and the mainstream media’s indifference to an abuse of power in a Democratic administration, the notion that the New Black Panther party case is “no big deal” is crumbling. We know that a high ranking political appointee presented misleading testimony under oath and that multiple witnesses would testify to the Obama administration’s hostility to the equal enforcement of our civil rights laws. Now an internal investigation is exploring those issues. In a Republican administration that would be front-page news.


From Theo we have a t-shirt with language of a type I disapprove of for public wear(but I like the sentiment)
a fine way to commute
and a look at Troublemakers In History

Some of the ways that Californicated- in particular- has wound up in such a hole.


Murkowski, you're a greedy power-hungry bitch. Go feed the bears.


And finally, well, it is his specialty...
