Time For The Oscars?!?

In an eerie coincidence Oscar Pistorius and Oscar de la Renta are on today's headlines. Third time pays all - should we expect big news from the world of processed food?

Josh Kraushaar in the National Journal is playing a funeral dirge for Democrats. The sound is melodious! Here is a quote from the article which has lots of tidbits but this one is savory:

One senior House Democratic official told National Journal that internal polling in Iowa shows Ernst leading Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley in all three of the state's battleground seats, making it challenging for downballot House candidates to put away winnable races—even in Iowa's Democratic-leaning districts.

Yup

Go fourth and multiply (threads).

[Danube on iPad]

Pistorius is a sicko.

[GMax]

Rasmussen from Sunday, and remember Rasmussen is finding more Obama support than virtually any other pollster, if that is the case here this would be a blowout:

Foley now picks up 50% of the vote to Malloy’s 43% in a new statewide telephone survey of Likely Connecticut Voters. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and four percent (4%) are undecided.

I alluded to one dwarf last thread. Here's not an allusion but a real--mental--dwarf, TM's favorite NYT columnist:

Just a smidgeon more:

The liberal verdict on the age of Obama has been written. It may change with history, but for now the Hope and Change period will be praised for its idealism and its innovative political organizing, but dismissed for its policy incompetence and its inability to listen to voices outside its bubble. It was an elitist phenomenon whose diversity was faked with media imagery and the party will now work to try and recapture its lost position among the rest of the country, particularly among white Democrats.

The progressive will continue to haunt American politics, but his current hipster incarnation is headed for extinction.

When I lived in Marquette, MI I went to the Norther Michigan football games. This was the Steve Mariucci QB and National Division II era. Alum and suit and tie types sat in the south stands and the rowdy student body in the north stands.

The band always played the Alma Mater after the anthem. Unfortunately the music was the same as "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weinert". You can imagine the lyrics the student section sang:)

Who said it?

“I have to really disagree with his characterization of the president,” [redacted] told CNN. “The president is a deliberate person in an appropriate way. But he’s also resolute once he makes up his mind.”

“So I think that what Leon said in the book is unfortunate, and frankly I don’t think it’s something that a former cabinet member should do while the president you served is still in office,” [redacted] added. “That’s not something that I would even consider doing.”

The only association you can make between Obama and resolute is that's where he puts his feet when he's in the Oval Office.

Just in from Voting.

Was surprised at the heavy turnout. Our population overall in this town is about 300,000. Took about 25 minutes of standing in line to get verified, then to get a ballot, then to vote, and then leave. In the Verification line I was asked to please stand in line and wait for about 5 minutes, in order let the Voter's voting thin out, as that took a bit longer than the verification process. .Never counted less than 25 Voters in the place during the whole process.

My verifier lady was quite excited about the unexpected good turnout.

I was close to the youngest guy there, as everyone else looked like retirees. The turnout made me optimistic.

Didn't know about it, at the moment have conflicting plans. Will make a donation if I can't go.

"The turnout made me optimistic."

Daddy,

You'd need to be rooting for Begich to be pessimistic. The outer darkness awaits the proglodytes and the wailing and gnashing of teeth among their infernal choir is going to be amusing. I believe Sultan Knish will be proven correct concerning the court eunuchs. They no longer have any utility.

I drive by our Community Center early voting place two or three times a day and the parking lot (100 cars) is 3/4rd full every time. But then the last time I voted early at the Library in 2012, well, you know what happened. A friend of mine was further back in the line and when we serpentined next to each other he noted "Jack, these are not the people who understand what is at risk".

Boy was he right. Ex-FBI agent who obviously been to profiler school.

[daddy]

Maryrose,

I'm a "Nervous Nelly" about Begich. I know in my cul-de-sac we are not Begich fans, so my gut feelings are probably untrustworthy and I'm surprised at myself for feeling optimistic after voting today. (There must be something wrong with me:)

Begich still gets almost entirely favorable Press up here, and tons of big money ads are playing the "War On Women" meme against Begich's opponent, Dan Sullivan, for when he was Attorney General. However, Lisa Murkowski has found a spine and cut an ad I hear ever hour or so, saying that as Attorney General Dan Sullivan was a huge help fighting for Women's Issues", and that the attack ads being run against Sullivan are false. Because of that I think Begich's charges will not be nearly as effective as the Dem's hope, and I believe we are going to pull it out.

[maryrose]

RickB:
Your post just reaffirms my belief that finally people are realizing what is happening to our country and are going to put a stop to it.
daddy: I particularly want Begich to lose after the false charges against Senator Stevens allowed him to win by a small margin. Someone needs to be held accountable for that travesty.

The (still) shifting transcripts of the President’s remarks

Transcript given to reporters:

“When we think back to when I first took office, one of the nice things about being home is actually that it’s a little bit like a time capsule because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some — newspapers and all kinds of stuff.”

What a reporter heard:

“One of the nice things about being home is actually that it’s a little bit like a time capsule. Because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some unpaid bills — I think eventually they got paid — but they’re sort of stacked up. And messages, newspapers and all kinds of stuff.”

Official record, from the White House website:

When we think back to when I first took office, one of the nice things about being home is actually that it’s a little bit like a time capsule because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there’s still junk on my desk, including some — (inaudible) — newspapers and all kinds of stuff. We always thought we’d be back every month and we’d kind of get everything in order and filed, and it hasn’t happened.

[RickB]

Maryrose,

The latest AP-Gfk poll affirms your belief. Mitch McConnell has a 40 unfavorable, Harry Reid has a 50, John Boehner has a 49 unfavorable, Nancy Pelosi has a 55. BOzo? He made it to 54% unfavorable among LVs.

There has been no improvement concerning any Democrat leader.

Is there any other kind?

The get out the fraud buses are running top speed. High turnout in early voting here is not good. The reports I've seen suggest 2012 levels -- very not good. The John Doe I email dump plus a Urinal Central editorial (pure fiction) suggest the all out lie, cheat, and steal push is at ramming speed. Third time may be the charm for Trumka, or Mighty Case-of-the-Runs may strike out. tbd

Catch-up Question.

Yesterday the Navy Spokesman said in a briefing that we inadvertently dropped a Pallet of Weapons into ISIS territory around Kobani, but that we later hit it with a bomb to render it unusable.

Today I see the top story on Drudge, and also on TV, a video of ISIS opening the pallet and looking at a box full of grenades.

Has the truth emerged today?

Is that the same pallet that later got bombed, or a different pallet? Obviously it's tough doing pin-point drops, especially without having men on the ground to verify who controls what bit of territory. I simply want the truth.

That AP Gfk poll has Zero at 60% disapproval! And has it R + 8. That might be why you are seeing tight races popping up in deep blue districts...

BTW

Mark Halperin is tweeting about a National prominent Democrat Senator burning up the phones lines to DC, worrying about losing. Speculation seems to center on Shaheen, Franken or Durbin. Any but especially all would be quite satisfying....

[daddy]

Gretta is doing the story on the ISIS weapons pallet now.

The ISIS video certainly looks authentic to me. Verbatim.

Jennifer Griffin: "Pentagon Officials say they can't rule out that the images are authentic, and that some of the aide may have been captured by ISIS Fighters. It was very windy when the air-drop took place. It was the first time the US had resupplied the Kurds in Kobani by air.

So seems to me like the word we received that the lost pallet was struck with a bomb was "inaccurate."

Jennifer Griffin also said this to Gretta: The Pentagon has not ruled out more Air-Drops of this kind. None of the fighters on the ground in Kobani say they have seen any Turkish Kurds or Iraqi Kurds arriving in Kobani despite public promises by the Turkish Government yesterday that they were willing to open the border, Gretta.

Seems like there's a rash of "Inaccurate statements" going around these days.

Last month a Mom in Austin, Texas was visited by Child Protective Services because she let her 6 year old son play outside up the street

In July a Mom in Augusta , Georgia was jailed for letting her 9 year old play at a park unsupervised.

So with that as background, what action should the cops take against the 2 sets of Colorado parents who's 15, 16, and 17 year old daughters jumped a plane today to Germany, where they were stopped before they could continue on to Syria to join ISIS?

According to the story, nothing. "The FBI has spoken to the teens and interviewed their families, and the agency said at this point they are not facing any charges."

So just to clarify:

Cop: "Mamm, Where's you daughter, Sally?"
Mom: "I think she's in the park next door, probably on the swing set or the monkey bars. Why do you ask?"
Cop: As we suspected. You're going to jail. Turn around, and place your hands behind your back so I can cuff you."

FBI: "Mamm, Where's your daughter, Sally?"
Mom: "Beats me. Last I heard she was on an airplane Germany getting ready to fly to Syria to join ISIS. Is there a problem Officer."
FBI: "No Mamm. You have a nice day."

As early voters head to the polls for a landmark election in Texas, a new survey conducted for KHOU-TV and Houston Public Media shows Republican Greg Abbott with a commanding lead over Democrat Wendy Davis in the race for governor.

Abbott’s supported by 47 percent of likely voters surveyed for the poll, compared to Davis’ 32 percent. Another 15 percent were undecided

Bull S. White managed 42% in the last losing effort. Looks like Wendy is going to underperform even this pitiful showing. don't you just feel sorry for her. Bless her little heart...
