BloggeRhythms 6/25/2013

Watching Stuart Varney’s Fox Business show for a few minutes this morning, curious about what the markets would do after their recent huge losses, I caught a few moments of his interview with a female Dem supporter whose name I didn’t catch.
 
When Varney asked her what she thought about the incumbent's upcoming daily address today, this one to be about how he’s going to shut down the horrendously environmental-damaging coal industry, the woman excitedly answered how pleased she was, supporting him unequivocally and completely in his battle against “global-warming.”
 
When Varney then pointed out that the U.S. was the only major nation on Earth with an iota of interest in the subject, because no others believe it worth worrying about, the woman opined that the incumbent's that much better because the others, and their data, are obviously all wrong.
 
And that’s when I changed the channel, shaking my head because I simply can’t understand how even brain-dead sheep can be scammed so consistently and easily. Especially when there’s been no valid evidence of climate change of any kind for the past sixteen years according to government agencies themselves. And what’s even more upsetting to me is that I can’t find something worthless to sell them myself and at least make a couple of bucks. But, then again, that would be like stealing pencils from blind folk's cups.
 
Similarly, although the administration continues to abuse its power by overreaching into all aspects of life, yesterday the Supreme Court delivered a setback by striking down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, 5 to 4.
 
A cornerstone of the civil rights movement, helping dismantle decades of discriminatory voting restrictions in the South, the incumbent’s Justice Department used Section 5 of the law to block voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina last year, and it also struck down early voting restrictions in five counties in Florida where minority voters are more likely than white voters to vote early in person.
 
So, here a law that existed without real opposition for more than 60 years, helping bring minorities into the voting mainstream, was used as a self-serving tool to the extent that it drew enough attention to cause reversal of otherwise highly laudable legislation. And while I ought to doubt any politicians can get lower than that, with these guys in office I'm quite certain they'll find ways to sink even more.
 
However, as each day goes by it becomes more obvious that the administration, and the incumbent in particular, are finally becoming exposed as the empty suits they’ve always been. But rather than using my own words to highlight the point, I’ll quote two other guys instead.
 
NBC Tonight Show host, Jay Leno said during his opening monologue yesterday, “President Obama got some good news today. The IRS ruled he can write off the first half of his second term as a total loss.”
 
And then, Mick Jagger, no less. at the Verizon Center in D.C. remarked, "I don't think President Obama is here tonight... But I'm sure he's listening in."
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
