		<description><![CDATA[Political cartoon depicting Obama speaking to teleprompters, saying he and his administration were on the British Petroleum oil spill in the gulf of mexico since the first day it happened.  Behind Obama is the reality that they were not and failed to do even the basic common sense actions, like having oil booms ready.  Biden struggles to open the oil boom box and to read the instructions. ]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/justice.jpg" rel="lightbox[2699]" title="Department Of Justice going crazy"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2700" title="Department Of Justice going crazy" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/justice.jpg" alt="Department Of Justice going crazy" width="255" height="383" /></a>The Department Of Justice is on a rampage of crazy to be sure.  Not only are they going after the Arizona illegal immigration law, but they are completely ignoring the Black Panthers case too!  What the hell is going on in Washington?  I have never seen an administration and president so blatantly ignore, bend, and break constitutional laws for the sake of minority votes.  But when you look at the hole the dems have dug for themselves, ostracizing even the center, it makes sense.  Obama and the dems only hope for remaining in power is to secure a vast majority of minority votes.  With independents leaving the Obama camp, its that much more crucial.</p>
<p>This desperate grab for the minority votes is self evident in Obama&#8217;s directing the DOJ to drop the Black Panther case, which was already settled but for one last formality that was already certain, and his aggressive attack of Arizona, filing suit against them.  This is boldness turned to corruption and ill-fatedness.  It boggles the logical mind these tactics.  Obama has shown his cards, and they say Chicago gangster scare tactics.  He&#8217;s brought a new level of thugdom to the white house.</p>
<p>The events that will really seal this apparent and obvious role of Obama and his administration is if these cases fall in his favor.  If the black panther case is permanently dropped and left to fade away, and Obama wins his suit against Arizona, it will be a complete and total failure of democracy with regard to these incidents.  Thug politics and fear of the highest order will abound in Washington even more than it does now.  What the hell is this country coming to when the president <a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/justice-21.jpg" rel="lightbox[2699]" title="department of justice totally whacked!"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2705" title="department of justice totally whacked!" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/justice-21.jpg" alt="department of justice totally whacked!" width="250" height="568" /></a>directs the DOJ to force states to stop protecting themselves only to offer absolutely no alternative or replacement for the protection?  What the hell is this country coming to when voters can be blatantly intimidated at the voting pole doors and the dam president directs the DOJ to just drop it, when it is in the bag, and allow aggressive voting pole intimidation, harassment, and threats by men holding weapons?  If I could relay a scream through this post, I would insert it here!  I mean, holy shit Obama, what the hell kind of country are you running here?  Why don&#8217;t you just have the military start taking over the country and impose your personal agenda on the people against their will officially, instead of doing it like no one sees, when everyone does in fact!  it&#8217;s right in our faces every frickin day!</p>
<p>It is time for men like Christie and Jindal to step up nationally and start leading in the manner of an actual leader, not a bully child trying to force his own way.  We need a Reagan desperately at this moment in history to get the country, government, and economy back in line.  Since Bushes major departing and mistrust of the free market with the first bale out and even his liberal spending before, we&#8217;ve been heading in the wrong direction.  Leaders wanted!</p>

<p><a title="corporate taxes" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/taxes/article/109244/what-the-top-us-companies-pay-in-taxes" target="_blank">Good article on what companies do to avoid taxes.  Of particular note is the quote at the bottom of the article, before the top 10 list:</a></p>
<p>Naturally the Obama administration wants to put an end to this. It has proposed doing away with tax deferrals on overseas income. If the plan passes, a U.S. company that pays a 25% tax on profits in China would have to pay an additional 10% income tax to Uncle Sam to bring it up to the 35% corporate rate. &#8220;Eliminating deferrals would put U.S. companies on an unlevel playing field,&#8221; says the Tax Foundation&#8217;s Hodge, &#8220;especially if competing with the likes of Germany, which only taxes companies on domestic operations.&#8221;</p>
<p>and&#8230;</p>
<p>Would no more tax holiday for GE really end up helping Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer? Doubtful. &#8220;The average Joe should be in favor of lower corporate taxes,&#8221; says Hodge, &#8220;because ultimately they are paying the corporate income tax. Either as workers, getting lower wages and fewer jobs, or as consumers, paying higher prices, or as retirees, getting lower dividends and earnings on their investments.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Scott Brown elected Massachusetts State Senator<a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up 1"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1690" title="Friday News Wrap-up 1" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><br />

<p>Do you think a woman who had posed nude could ever achieve national political office?</p>
<p><strong>Disaster in Haiti</strong></p>
<p>The only hope long term for Haiti is a deadly disease that only affects jerks. That’s the only hope for a lot of developing nations criminally ruled by jerks. The CIA got close with AIDS, but they didn’t realize back then that butt-sex and being a jerk were not mutually inclusive. Ah well, dreams for the next conservative administration.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up 2"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1692" title="Friday News Wrap-up 2" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" /></a>‘We are the world’ Haiti relief recording session begins</strong></p>
<p>These people need to be stopped. Send your money to Red Cross.</p>
<p><strong>State of the Union address</strong></p>
<p>I don’t know why people take Obama’s speeches to seriously. I mean, they were never meant to be taken literally. His message is one of hope and change. We can all learn valuable lessons from his speeches but – lol – you can’t apply those ideas directly to policy &#8211; that was never the intended purpose of his message.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

</strong></p>
<p>Yeah! Another fat-cat scapegoat! Yeah, let’s get’m! Whoohoo!</p>
<p><strong>Obama getting tough on China for trade agreement infractions</strong></p>
<p>I’m getting tough on my credit cards too. I’m taking a different approach though. I’m paying off the debt – or at least trying.</p>

<p>Wow Obama administration! Way to go getting the kid to ignore his lawyer’s advice. If only all terrorists had responsible parents. And thanks for telling us about it too. Now all of America knows how great of a job you’re doing protecting us. Hey, so have you gone ahead and put Al Qaeda on the list to receive your FUCKING news letter yet?</p>
<p><strong>Sarah Palin to receive $100k speaking fee for Tea Party Convention</strong></p>

What do<a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-7.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1698" title="Friday News Wrap-up" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-7-209x300.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="300" /></a> you think she’s going to do with the cash? Buy something with it? You give those people a rifle and a pair of boots &#8211; a few years later they’ve got a city with a shipping port. Watch, she’ll invest in some unknown little jackass somewhere and turn another baby-blue state red. Astroturf my ass… U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A</p>
<p><strong>Healthcare reform bill stalled</strong></p>
<p>Ok guys, I get it. You got caught up in all the inaugural excitement. We elected Obama assuming “change” meant <em>a thoughtful approach,</em> but you thought we gave you a mandate to turn the country on its keel. So you went after you’re dreams: single payer, sky-rocketing business costs, and reduced carbon output. I can’t blame anyone for going after their dreams. And hey, at least you go that juicy stimulus!</p>
<p>But those darn Democrats, they got in your way. Single payer was compromised into single <a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-8.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up "><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1700" title="Friday News Wrap-up " src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-8-206x300.jpg" alt="" width="206" height="300" /></a>payer under a different name &#8211; then into a public option. Then even that was compromised – first into some fancy long winded name coined by Pelosi that essentially meant public option, and finally, a year later, into nothing more than a list new regulations – more similar to the Republican alternative to Hillary Care than the brilliant progressive stride we were all assuming would slide through. (Eh, regardless of the naïve math and unfunded state Medicaid mandates) And to add insult to injury, you have to buy some of those Dem votes too.</p>
<p>And darn-it &#8211; you could have passed it. Hell, you could have passed a bill covering sea lions FFS. I know you’d like to blame the Republicans, but shit man – you knew you had all the power and that’s how you wrote the bill. No Republican could have voted for that thing any more than you guys could all climb on board with invading Iraq! Or – wait. You got tricked on that one – hu? Well, you know what I mean. You can’t blame the dog you’re walking when you walk into a pole – even if he was enthusiastic about it.</p>
<p>So the question is: What now. Indeed, this bill is shot to shit. Stack that monstrosity on the back of the toilet in the staff bathroom. But what now? Should you pole-vault over the wall with Pelosi? Should you try to come to some reasonable consensus with a few reasonable Republicans? Should you keep this unorganized circus with your ring leader off in his own ring singing his poems?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you should do. I’d like to see some actual reform though.</p>
<p><strong>Congress to cut funding for KSM trial in NY<a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-9.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up "><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1702" title="Friday News Wrap-up " src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-9-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Every time anyone asks Obama or anyone in his admin a question about trying KSM in civilian court, they duck the question and assure us he’ll be convicted and executed. So if this is just going to be a $1 billion show trial – why not just <em>“have the trial”</em> (wink-wink)? You know &#8211; take a few days off, <em>“have the trial,”</em> print up some transcripts and stuff, execute the bastard, and use the $1 billion on some new Predator drones or something.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-10.jpg" rel="lightbox[1685]" title="Friday News Wrap-up"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1704" title="Friday News Wrap-up" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Friday-News-Wrap-up-10-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Don’t ask don’t tell – once again up for debate</strong></p>
<p>What part of “don’t ask don’t tell” is so hard to understand?</p>

Why was it a better idea to read this lost kid his rights?</p></blockquote>
<p>You would think we would learn our lesson, since that is how we treated the first World Trade Center bomber.</p>
<p>I think the new approach comes out of the overall idea that we’re not at war with anyone – and that terrorists are criminals. This idea came out of the opposition to the Bush administration. In an effort to cripple his agenda, they pushed the idea that his ‘war’ was simply a scare tactic to pass legislation, with the hope that they’d stop his passage of <em>any</em> legislation.</p>
<p>Now this is a normal thing that happens on both sides. But with regard to the Iraq and Afghan war, and war on terror, this phenomenon has reached truly unhealthy proportions.</p>
<p>Allow me to explain with an analogy: There is a certain portion of the electorate that will watch Obama stand behind<a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Detroit-metro-airport-attempted-bombing.jpg" rel="lightbox[1473]" title="Detroit metro airport attempted bombing"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1479" title="Detroit metro airport attempted bombing" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Detroit-metro-airport-attempted-bombing-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a> a horse with a shovel until it fills with shit then watch him dump that shovel into a cake pan and call it a chocolate cake. Then that percentage will argue virulently that Obama’s ‘cake’ is in fact a chocolate cake.</p>
<p>Likewise there is a percentage on the other side who will argue that a chocolate cake Obama spent many house backing is <em>not</em> a chocolate cake, but a shovel full of horse shit.</p>
<p>Most of this is rational politicing. They’re just trying to slow an agenda they disagree with. But amount these there are certain irrational party-line idealists who – through these semi-rational efforts – start to become true believers. They actually start to believe that this pile of actual horse shit is chocolate cake. They’re even willing to eat it and smile, urging others to enjoy a large slice of this tasty chocolate cake.</p>
<p>Napolitano might be one of these partisan shit-eaters. So might Eric holder. They might actually believe that terrorists <a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/detroit-metro-airport-terrorist-bombing-attempt.jpg" rel="lightbox[1473]" title="Eric Holder"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1481" title="Eric Holder" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/detroit-metro-airport-terrorist-bombing-attempt-300x219.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="219" /></a>are just criminals and that we aren’t at war with a global network of Pan Islamists. So they’re willing to actually treat the war like law enforcement.</p>
<p>This is a totally illogical approach though. Criminals aren’t trying to literally destroy American. Criminals are just trying to make an easy living, or indulging a weird impulse. The ‘terrorists’ are in fact able and willing to destroy our society and are currently in that process &#8211; that’s what wars do.</p>

First, Obama needs to crack down on these idiots like Napolitano – they are always going on TV with their own ideas of policy and reality, trying to spin everything as usual and people are seeing though it now.</p>
<p>The knee-jerk response for this attack was the same as the Fort Hood shooting: Oh no, not a ‘terror’ attack. Oh indeed, the system worked out well, we have everything under control. We’re all so safe and cozy we can get right back after redistributive change.</p>
<p>But they know damn well if a major terror attack get’s through it spells the end to the Democrat resurgence. Oboma was betting on luck, the way he campaigned against anti-terror measures. And now that he’s in charge the only change he’s made is planning to move Gitmo – and of course his rhetoric, now he’s pro-preemptive.</p>
<p>It’s funny though too, after all their – “It’s all good baby, things are smooth, we got it so totally covered” – we find out the<a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/knee-jerk-reaction-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1415]" title="knee jerk reaction over Detroit Plane Bomber"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1417" title="knee jerk reaction over Detroit Plane Bomber" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/knee-jerk-reaction-1-300x175.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="175" /></a> only reason the airliner didn’t turn into a fireball is that the terrorist was too incompetent to maintain an effective detonation system – but he was DAMN close. And there might have been a second explosive in the cargo hold I’ve also heard.</p>
<p>The Whitehouse seriously made fools of them selves this weekend. Obama wasn’t even informed for 3 hours. MSNBC is even in on it – so glad they gat past that serious bought with their chronic news constipation. This one isn’t going to get squashed like the Hood incident. LOL – No one is calling this kid a poor sufferer of air travel fatigue.</p>
<p>No one is touching the patriot act after this. lol</p>
<p>If you haven’t seen it, you have to watch it above.</p>
<p><a href="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Umar-Farouk-Abdulmutallab.jpg" rel="lightbox[1415]" title="Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Tries To Blow Up Delta Plane Landing In Detroit Metro Airport"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1419" title="Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Tries To Blow Up Delta Plane Landing In Detroit Metro Airport" src="http://noisydove.com/wp-content/uploads/Umar-Farouk-Abdulmutallab-231x300.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="300" /></a>It’s so funny, “The passengers and crew did exactly what they were supposed to.” LOL Yeah airline passengers. Good work. You must have all touched the skin of the aircraft before boarding, and Obama’s lucky fucking horseshoe reserve finally paid off. There was way too much good luck on that plan for the detonation device to have worked. And then you guys stayed cool and did the right thing – you panicked and scrambled for water and fire extinguishers while others dragged the kid out into the aisle and beat him down.</p>
<p>With this story it’s like shooting fish in a bucket.</p>
<p>I can’t believe MSNBC just scooped FOX on some terrorist news – this little shit was a rich kid.</p>
<p>Anyway, it was a powered explosive and he had a siring full of some kind of chemical catalyst to serve as the detonator. It didn’t work though and the powder just burned.</p>
<p>I wonder if he burned the hair off his balls? If so – no worries. I’m sure the Obama administration will humanly supply him with one of those toupees for your wank.</p>
