“The American people do not want to eat dog food! This is not North Korea!”
“Nancy Pelosi said that Rangel’s corruption didn’t jeopardize the country, so it’s okay. Do these people not get how screwed they are going to be come November?” “Mullah Nancy bin Pelosi is convincing Democrats to blow themselves up for health care. The only thing she can’t do is promise them 72 virgins.” |
“Pelosi just said that the bill can be bipartisan even though the votes might not be bipartisan. Are we live? Are we actually on the air, or am I dreaming?” |
“Algore had a piece in the New York Times yesterday which I might dissect, but I don’t know… It really is painful to expose one’s self to such psychological frailty.” |
“Did you guys hear what Obama said after the Chile earthquake? He said we can’t control Mother Nature. ‘Ah, things happen. We can’t control Mother Nature. Except when it comes to my global warming policies.’” |
“I cannot, no matter how persuasive or talented, properly convey to you how badly the Democrats want this socialized health care bill. I mean, they are willing to lose their majorities in order to get this, and if looked at in that light, you have to take this very seriously.” Read more at www.rushlimbaugh.com |

SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Supreme Court today rejected a bid by imprisoned former Gov. George Ryan to keep a portion of his lucrative government pension that was built up before his corrupt reign as governor and secretary of state. |
The high court’s 6-1 decision cost the disgraced former Republican governor $70,824 a year, sending an unmistakable message from the court to Illinois’ governing elite that cronyism and corruption do not pay. |
“As the victims of Ryan’s crimes, the taxpayers of the state of Illinois are under no obligation to now fund his retirement,” Justice Robert R. Thomas wrote in the court’s majority opinion. |
The state General Assembly Retirement System had moved to strip Ryan of the entire $197,037 pension he was drawing annually up until his 2006 conviction on racketeering, conspiracy, mail fraud and other corruption charges linked to his tenure as governor and secretary of state. |

One of my great pleasures at the beginning of every month is to read John Derbyshire’s monthly Diary over at NRO. It’s a rich buffet of commentary, analysis, math, and information presented with wit and true conservative pessimism. John’s a wonderful writer as this snippet from his January Diary proves: |
Killer English One of the great mysteries of history is: Why do the English speak English? At the time the English (speakers of low-German dialects from Europe’s North Sea coasts) showed up in the middle fifth century A.D., Britain had two languages well established: Latin, which had been the administrative language of Roman Britannia for 400 years, and Brythonic, a Celtic tongue spoken by the common people for somewhat longer. Both were wiped out by English: Latin completely, so far as everyday usage was concerned, Brythonic surviving only in the wild west of Britain, where it gradually morphed into Welsh.

Actor Danny Glover says earthquake in Haiti caused by “global warming.” |
“What happened in Haiti could happen to anywhere in the Caribbean because all these island nations are in peril because of global warming,” Glover said. “When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”
|
| Is this guy serious or what? What a character! These armchair quarterbacks need to leave the explanation for this earthquake and any others to scientists and seismologists. |
| Hitler? A scapegoat. Stalin? |
| “Hitler is an easy scapegoat throughout history and it’s been used cheaply,” he said. Then he mentioned the S word. “Stalin has a complete other story. Not to paint him as a hero, but to tell a more factual representation. He fought the German war machine more than any person.”Read more at blackpoliticalthought.blogspot.com |

What should President Obama focus on as he moves toward the State of the Union? |
| During the 2000 conference, workshop leaders led a “youth only, ages 14-21″ session that offered lessons in “fisting” a dangerous sexual practice. During the same workshop an activist asked 14 year-old students, “Spit or swallow?… Is it rude?” |
| The unbelievable audio clip is posted here. Barack Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN. He was paid $273,573.96 as its executive director in 2007. |
| High school students at the conference learned about fisting and watersports from the GLSEN activists. Jennings is seen here holding the conference program. (Via Mass Resistance) |
Unfortunately for GLSEN, undercover journalists with Mass Resistance recorded these outrageous sessions at Tufts University. The audio was later leaked to a local radio station. This created such an uproar that GLSEN leaders were forced to apologize for their disgusting behavior. |
