Jour72666 – Warzone Reporting. (5 credits) Students will learn to misremember their experiences travelling to, in, and from theatres of conflict in a way that allows them to inflate their own egos. Forms of non-apology after being caught blatantly lying about those experiences will be reviewed. The course will explain why treating soldiers like pawns can and does help advance one's career.
Jour70011th – Making Word Documents Look Like They Were Typed on Very Old Typewriters. (1 credit) This course will provide students with in-depth training in fabricating evidence against political figures they hate. When used to bring such figures down in order to prop those they love up, students will see what matters most is not the nature of the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge. Obsolete typewriters and the pitfalls of using Microsoft Word's default settings will be thoroughly examined.
Jour70000 – Introduction to Lying. (3 credits) Students spend up to 72 hours straight in a locked chamber viewing nothing but MSNBC and Brian Williams reports. In lieu of a bathroom, the chamber's floor will be lined with pages from the New York Times.
Another George — Orwell — would've blushed at such absolutely clear displays of intentional obfuscation and rash mendacity.
Most importantly, to say the Demøcrony media™ would be up in arms and awarding themselves multiple Pulitzers over this, would be Teh Understatement® to end all understatements from now until the end of time Demøcrooks embrace forthrightness.
iberal Øbamedia ghouls(birm) couldn't wait to try, convict, and sentence their political "enemies" for last night's "tragedy" mass slaughter committed by a lone coward.
"Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence!"
But ØbamABC "News" apologized for Ghoul ØbaMorning ØbAmerica, Brian Ross, and George Stephanopoulos's intentional "mistake." So everything's okay now.
resent" B. Hitlerian Øfascist and his fellow Master Racists are digging a hole for themselves larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon. But all the aggressive, adversarial press Democorrupt Party's Propaganda Wing™ does is look up at the sky and repeat "What hole? We don't see any hole" while stepping all around that gaping abyss and yet managing somehow to avoid falling in it.
So it's absolutely no wonder a growing number of these self-blinded, -deafened, and -dumbed Wingers are now officially in the employ of Øfascist's Shovel Brigade, including CNN senior producer Sasha Johnson, The Post's Sunday Outlook deputy editor Warren Bass, Time Magazine Moscow bureau chief Jay Carney (husband of ABC's Claire Shipman), CBS and ABC congressional correspondent and National Journal editor Linda Douglass, Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Gosselin, Education Week reporter David Hoff, CBS and ABC producer Beverley Lumpkin, Washington Post science reporter Rick Weiss, Chicago Tribune correspondent Jill Zuckman, CNN correspondent Aneesh Raman, CNN producer Kate Albright-Hanna, and more than a few "news" photographers.
Separation of press and state? Hardly. More like mercenary attack dogs trained by and at the beck and call of Former SenatorForeign Student Øfascist's totalitarian thugocracy. His own personal White Housse Press Corpss Gestapo.
You could count the number of journalists working in the Bush White House on less than one half a hand. Even so, this was enough to cause the liberal media(birm) to collectively have a virtual conniption.
But now that at least a dozen liberal media producers, reporters, and photographers are overtly on the Øfascist maladministration's payroll, it's considered normal Business As Usual™.
Unfortunately, many of their brethren fellow snakes are still slithering around Former Senator Øbribable's rubberstamp al-Qongress making "our" laws ... more and more overly complex for their own conflicts of interest "professional" self-interests.

Home, Law Firms, Layoffs
"Oh the humanity!"
Yesterday, Thursday, February 12th, 2009, six prominent firms fired over 700 attorneys and legal staffers, in what is becoming known as Black Thursday in the legal industry.
T
he same color now darkening practically every other day of the week, too. No doubt Present Øpromisebreaker's firing of all 93 U.S. Attorneys won't have too long to wait for one similarly shady.
Dechert also confirmed that on Thursday it let go of associates and counsel. In December, the firm laid off 72 staffers in the US and 15 staffers in the UK. It also laid off 13 attorneys in March 2008.
(nuts-covered double fudge sundae ditto with a cherry on top)
Philadelphia's Cozen O'Connor laid off 61 administrative staff and paralegals.
et al., i.e., Esq., ex parte, in camera, et seq., supra....
The only thing that could make all this non-bad news better is that the same thing is happening throughout America's "news"paper industry the Dictatoratic Party's print-propaganda ministries. (Oh, wait... it is! "Oh, the humanity poetic justice!")
Now, one shouldn't consider "good" the misfortune of any fellow human being.
And I wouldn't if a preponderance of such consideration had even the remotest chance of substantially being apposite in some unfrivolous number of these particular cases.
If you let me count the ways this would be the Longest.Post.Ever. in all of Blogdom.
So I'll give you just the reasons alluded to in its title and preface.
First, when an unstable nutcake has little or no regard for human life — including his own — there is nothing in this world that can ever excuse his homicidal acts.
Not the saucer he found on the wrong shelf. Not the stubbed toe he got getting out of bed that morning. Not the bird poop he saw on the hood of his car.
And certainly not the economy.
He proved to everyone with even half a functioning brain — which leaves out CNN Radio editors — that he's nuts. Is it any wonder, then, no one wanted to hire him?
But your attempts to link in any way his extremely selfish and heartless acts to anything other than his being an extremely selfish, heartless nutcake gives him and every risky piece of dangerously putrid filth like him, in their "minds," one more excuse for murdering innocent people so horrifically in cold blood.
Second, if nutcakes were targeting CNN reporters in their murder-suicide plots solely because they feel it would get them even more the type of immortal attention which your selfish, heartless use of their mental instability for your grossly irresponsible stories political propaganda is now making available to them, would you be reporting that "a man in California who had to wait over six hours for the cable guy to show up and install his HDTV, went out and shot the first CNN news crew he came across, killing all three before turning the gun on himself"?
INTERVIEWER: Has [Obama] expressed a preference, however, on who might replace him in the [U.S.] Senate?
AXELROD: He has not. I mean, I know he's talked to the governor, and, you know, he's— there are a whole range of names, many of which have surfaced [during his contacts with the governor]. And he's— I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.
Meanwhile, Governor Blagojevich has not been convicted in a court of law. So he can go ahead and appoint himself to fill Former Senator Obama's vacated Senate seat.
When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct. (U.S. Constitution, Amendment XVII, clause 2)
Welcome to the United States Senate, Senator Blagojevich! There doesn't exist a more appropriate successor to the most corrupt senator ever.
At least one other appeal over Obama's citizenship remains at the [U.S. supreme] court. Philip J. Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa., argues that Obama was born in Kenya, not Hawaii as Obama says and Hawaii officials have confirmed. Berg says Obama also may be a citizen of Indonesia, where he lived as a boy.
"if the President elect shall have failed to qualify..."
I
n which hospital was Former Senator Øbama born? Which of that hospital's doctors delivered him? Where are that hospital's records proving he was born in it?
If we're going to ignore the following provisions of our nation's constitution,
If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified....
Amendment XX, Section 3.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Article II, Section. 1, Clause 5.
...which other provisions of it are we also going to ignore once they prove similarly inconvenient?
Last week in Hawaii, WND retained a top private investigator with extensive FBI training and tasked with visiting both the Queens Medical Center and the Kaliolani Medical Center to investigate claims that Obama birth certificates existed at either hospital.
But the private investigator reported that on Thursday and Friday of last week, sheriff's deputies were stationed at both hospitals to fend off press inquiries about Obama's birth certificate.
The [Hawaiin] governor's communication with WND also left ambiguous whether the Obama birth certificate on file with the Department of Health was originally generated by a Hawaii doctor after giving birth to Obama in Hawaii, or generated in Kenya and subsequently registered by the Obama family in Hawaii.
To date, Obama and his campaign have refused to disclose the name of the doctor delivering the candidate or the precise hospital where he was born.
The main reason doubts persist regarding Obama's birth certificate is this question: If an original Hawaii-doctor-generated and Hawaii-hospital-released Obama birth certificate exists, why wouldn't the senator and his campaign simply order the document released and end the controversy?
Sec. 7211. Minimum standards for birth certificates.
(a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``birth certificate'' means a certificate of birth--

So the proper form of address for the next four years will be "Mr. Former Senator" and "Mr. Acting President," respectively, when speaking to Obama bin Biden. As in: "How do you plead, Mr. Former Senator. Guilty or not guilty?"

All republics die two centuries or less after they're born, right after they forget the answer to that most basic of questions: "Why am I here?"
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America....
The fact our own's suicide extends their maximum lifespan a few decades isn't going to make it any kind of historic exception.
Perhaps the next people's experiment in governing themselves will employ some untried method for their remembering the answer long enough to fare remarkably better.
MSNBC, CNN, LAT, NYT, ABC, CBS, NBC, WaPo, NPR, et al. and the "pollsters" manipulative mind-controllers they hire have been nothing but one long 24/7 infomercial for Their Chøsen Øne™.
The cheapest thrill ever to run up The Liberal Media's collective leg was when Their Chøsen Øne™ came on TV and promisedlied that "I can no more disown (the pastor of my church Jeremiah 'God D*** America!' Wright) than I can disown the black community."
Why is the Los Angeles Times sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi — former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?
At the time Khalidi, a PLO adviser turned University of Chicago professor, was headed east to Columbia. There he would take over the University's Middle East-studies program (which he has since maintained as a bubbling cauldron of anti-Semitism) and assume the professorship endowed in honor of Edward Sayyid, another notorious terror apologist.
The party featured encomiums by many of Khalidi's allies, colleagues, and friends, including Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator, and Bill Ayers, the terrorist turned education professor. It was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), which had been founded by Khalidi and his wife, Mona, formerly a top English translator for Arafat's press agency.
Is there just a teeny-weenie chance that this was an evening of Israel-bashing Obama would find very difficult to explain? Could it be that the Times, a pillar of the Obamedia, is covering for its guy?
Gateway Pundit reports that the Times has the videotape but is suppressing it.
Back in April, the Times published a gentle story about the fete. Reporter Peter Wallsten avoided, for example, any mention of the inconvenient fact that the revelers included Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Ayers's wife and fellow Weatherman terrorist. These self-professed revolutionary Leftists are friendly with both Obama and Khalidi — indeed, researcher Stanley Kurtz has noted that Ayers and Khalidi were "best friends." (And — small world! — it turns out that the Obamas are extremely close to the Khalidis, who have reportedly babysat the Obama children.)
Nor did the Times report the party was thrown by AAAN. Wallsten does tell us that the AAAN received grants from the Leftist Woods Fund when Obama was on its board — but, besides understating the amount (it was $75,000, not $40,000), the Times mentions neither that Ayers was also on the Woods board at the time nor that AAAN is rabidly anti-Israel. (Though the organization regards Israel as illegitimate and has sought to justify Palestinian terrorism, Wallsten describes the AAAN as "a social service group.")
Perhaps even more inconveniently, the Times also let slip that it had obtained a videotape of the party.
When the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate back in January of 2007, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at an all-time high of 12,400 and gas prices hovered around $2.15 per gallon. The Republican-led Congress of the previous 4-years had left a strong economy in the hands of Socialist Democrats.
Fast-forward two years, under Democrat-controlled Congress. Just last week the Dow Jones hit a 5-year low of 10,485 and gas prices loomed near $4 dollars a gallon.
These harmful economic events all took place during a Democrat controlled Congress in Washington, led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pilosi [and the do-nothing (besides running to get even more personal power) Barack Hussein Obama].
This is an infomercial we've been forced to watch over and over the last two years every time we filled up our cars or applied for any loans.
No infomercial ever made could be more disturbing than this Phoniest Show on Earth which The Liberal Media and Their Chøsen Øne™ have painstakingly scripted and been continuously airing throughout the 35,000-plus half hours between February 10, 2007 and today.
In 1932, Herbert Hoover pushed through a tax increase in the heart of the depression on "rich" taxpayers, in the "Economic Recovery Act" of that year. At that time the median household income was $1,000 annually. Like Obama's economics plan, Hoover's tax increase applied to only the top brackets making more than $4,000 per year, or roughly 4x the median income. This would be equivalent today to an Obama's tax increase affecting only households making $200,000 and above, or 4x the national median.
What happened then is now something that all economists agree upon. The increase was a disaster that served to deepen the depression into a new phase of despair. The few companies that were making money laid off even more workers. Unemployment rose. Incomes fell. The economic disaster was deepened and prolonged.
Somebody should have told Obama before he aired an ill-fated infomercial/commercial that proposes throwing oil on fire. You do not raise aggregate taxes during a recession, and then call it a tax decrease for 95% of Americans. Obama's proposed tax decrease to lower income Americans does nobody any good when they are laid off from work.
Or we finally change that same old channel and select for us and our country a new and far better and more reasonable and hopeful one, with programs that make sense and work for every American and always show experienced and tested people doing exactly the jobs we hire and expect them to do, completing only the tasks we want and entrust them to complete, and believing at all times that, yes, We their Number One Bosses can and will most unfailingly demonstrate the best innate ability and personal resourcefulness and enough of a work ethic and self-respect and love of freedom for doing and completing all the other jobs and tasks everyplace else in our God's Blessed America — the Beautiful Land of the Freest and Home of the Bravest People Ever — of, by, and for ourselves.
We don't need a stinking Øbamericial to inform any of us true lovers of liberty at all about any portion of that.
istinguished Terrorist Bill Ayers is Barack Hu$$ein Obama's former boss:
Even if Obama did not know about Ayers' [distinguised terrorism] past as he now asserts, a response that is actually more than difficult to believe, he did know and did fund through the Annenberg Challenge, Ayers' extremely radical educational projects. All one has to do is read the many articles and critiques of Ayers written by Sol Stern for The City Journal and The Wall Street Journal, to see what Ayers' "educational" work is all about.
In this Chicago, where there are no enemies on the left, Mr. Ayers's second career flourished [the first being Distinguished Terrorist™]. It didn't hurt that his father, Thomas Ayers, was the CEO of the Commonwealth Edison company, a friend of both Daleys and a major power broker in the city.
Mr. Ayers was hired by the Chicago public schools to train teachers, and played a leading role in the $160 million Annenberg Challenge grant that distributed funds to a host of so-called school-reform projects, including some social-justice themed schools and schools organized by ACORN. Barack Obama became the first chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge organization in 1995.
If John McCain had been the board chairman hired by Distinguished Terrorist Bill Ayers, no doubt the Obamainstream media would downplay and dismiss that connection and describe their relationship as "tenuous," "casual," or "just neighborly."
And the bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn would be covered with "For Sale" "Sold" signs.
You don't have to do anything to enjoy a tax cut. You have to pore over paperwork, read decipher bureaucratic instructions, and fill out one or more government forms to "enjoy" a tax rebate or tax credit.
U
p is down. Left is right. Cloudy days are actually sunny.
Both those government sponsored failures are the root cause of this housing-based economic crisis, which John McCain warned us about years ago and tried to toughly regulate. But his opponent and other top Democulprits were receiving unprecedented campaign donations from these tax-funded boondoggles and had to fight Senator McCain's efforts if they wanted to stay on that take.
E
ven after the crisis hit us in August, junior one-term Democorrupt Senator Bigbuck Obamae was still not convinced that there was any clear need for the tough, new regulations Senator McCain had been proposing during Sen. Oshirka's watch in Congress.
Sen. Oblahblah was holding on to the hope of raking in more of the same record-breaking Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac donations that had been flowing into his campaign coffers since the day he entered the Senate.
The Washingtøn Pøstank, although so in the tank for B. Hussein Øfrauda that it's desperately trying to play down its own report that the Hussein-Ø campaign called FranklinFannie Raines "seeking his advice on mortgage and housing policy matters," still had to conclude in its own fact check that
By Raines's own account, he took a couple of calls from someone on the Obama campaign, and they had some general discussions about economic issues.
While you're waiting for the Pøstank to provide "more details on these calls" (and for Oliver and Wilbur Pig to make their first take-off and landing tests during the next Kitty Hell record blizzard), you could pass just the tiniest part of that time reading the following details already provided by this same alleged "news"paper:
Obama also has ties to the firms. James A. Johnson, the former head of his vice presidential vetting panel, was a chief executive of Fannie Mae, as was Franklin D. Raines, who said this week that he has been consulting with the campaign on housing issues. Maria Echaveste, a top Clinton White House official whose husband, Christopher Edley Jr., is a close Obama friend and adviser, has lobbied for Freddie Mac, and former commerce secretary William M. Daley, a top Obama backer, was an in-house lobbyist.
Former Fannie Mae C.E.O. James Johnson, who was advising the candidate on selecting a vice president, had resigned from the campaign after the Wall Street Journal reported on his own V.I.P. loans [from Countrywide Banking & Home Loans].
FOR ALL THE talk about energy, taxes and health care, the first economic policy challenge to face the next president could be coping with a crisis at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — and the related job of reforming them to make sure they never put the global financial system at risk again. Republican John McCain, longaskepticofthetwogovernment-sponsoredenterprises, has said that, if the government must bail them out, it should fire their current boards and managers en route to full privatization. Untilnow, Democrat Barack Obama has been more circumspect, agreeing with Mr. McCain that taxpayers should come before shareholders and managers but offering few concrete ideas about the ultimate dispensation of the companies. But this week he's given an encouraging hint of fresh thinking about the problem.
This is not an easy one for the Illinois senator because of thecompanies'closetiestohisparty. To be sure, both Republican and Democratic politicos have held well-paid positions in the two firms or have partaken of the tens of millions that they spend on lobbying. But a few Republicans, such as Mr. McCain and Sen. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), who has been chairman and ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, have taken them on over the years, warning about their use of an implicit government guarantee to pursue private profits. Meanwhile, Democrats were not only politically but intellectually committed to the companies, seeing them as innovative public-private institutions that have been a boon to homeownership. In the current crisis, their biggest backers have been Democrats such as Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd (Conn.) and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.). Two members of Mr. Obama's political circle, James A. Johnson and FranklinD.Raines, are former chief executives of Fannie Mae.
Now, however, Mr. Obama may be inching away from the conventional wisdom. On Monday [August 25, 2008], he hinted for the first time that he thinks [sic] the GSEs' current model is unsustainable.
Now Sen. Øbraindeada sees a problem. John McCain saw the current crisis coming all along and amply warned Jr. 1-termer Sen. Oblivious and his Demograft Party's "leaders" in Congress about the unsustainable Fannie model. John McCain also offered them real solutions for avoiding this very Democulprit-induced calamity, which their corruptly blind selves vehemently rejected, of course.
As a voting co-owner of this great nation, I want my next employee in the White House to be someone who, like John McCain, has already shown he has the experience and knowledge to foresee and propose practicable, concrete steps to avert economic crises long before they even have the chance to blow up in all our faces. Not someone who, like B. Hussein-Ø the Fannie Raines consultee, has to wait until one actually does blow up in our faces before he can even begin to be seen "inching away" enough from his stubbornly self-imposed, self-serving "wisdom" blind spot to finally resort "for the first time" to any kind of fresh "thinking."
“If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.”

John McCain addressing the U.S. Senate May 26, 2006
All death threats are taken seriously. But what did our Secret Service find after investigating Jr. 1-term-only Sen. OdumbO's claim that someone threatened him at his opponent's rally?
N
othing. No "kill him!" threats. No witness or recording nor even a confession confirming that anyone ever shouted, mumbled, or even sign languaged any such thing there.
Conclusion: Jr. 1-term-only Sen. Ofib-uh's claim is a false accusation.
Also: The alleged reporter who wrote concocted the "threat" story is so remarkably in the tank for Jr. 1-term-only Sen. OblameO that the Jacques Cousteau Institute has awarded the Scranton Crimes-Buffoon a research grant to adapt the Mariana Trench-rated underwater deep diving wetsuit worn 24/7 by its "reporters," for human use also.
Further: The Scranton Crimes-Buffoon has decided to take down all its "Obamessiah for President Supreme Being" yard signs planted in cement on its property, as well as its 50-foot "We Worship You, OblessedOne" banner wrapped across the front of its building.
Lastly: The Associated (with Odunce,uh) Press, pMSNBC, and other Oblowmanstream Media organizations campaign staff which picked up, salivated over, then widely publicized their Oboss's false accusation have promised to issue a correction... after the election... but only if they feel like it or when Jr. 1-term-only Sen. OdumbO starts telling the truth (i.e., never).
He hates election laws forbidding his use of phony donors, foreign contributions, and fraudulently registered "voters."
W
ith no less than the Associated (with Obamessiah) Press running headlines like "Obama money from abroad could total $3.3 million," it's enough to make a junior freshman do-nothing senator go back to snorting cocaine again.
Do anything to win — or, exactly like any other thing of a Democrook's doing, just more of the same.
Of course, "rules are meant to be broken and the laws don't apply to everybody" whenever they present even the slightest obstacle to any Dictatorat's all-consuming pursuit of absolute and unassailable personal power.
To start with the tip of this dicey Obergama, this hazard to democracy into which the stateliest of its ships — the first and still best of those ultimately helmed by and for all the people aboard her — is about to plow because the arrogantly self-blinded lookouts once entrusted by them to be her reliable watchdogs are purposefully refusing to either shine any truly illuminating spotlight on that very hazard or submit none but the most delusory reports in general about it, thus actively assisting its impending collision with her—
Last week, Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning said that between September 8, when the no match no vote law began to be applied, and October 3 there were nearly 229,000 new registrations. Of those, nearly 33,000 had match problems at first. More than ten thousand of the voters were notified by mail and 3,000 of those problems had been resolved. [Leaving a whopping 13 percent with unresolved problems!]
The deadline to register to vote on November 4th has passed. Early voting begins on October 20th.
Nevada: ACORN, the Demofraudic Party's extremist front group paid over $800,000 by do-nothing Jr. Sen. Obigbucks' campaign to register alleged "voters,"
their office was raided Tuesday morning by agents of the Nevada Secretary of State and Attorney General who alleged in an application for a search warrant that ACORN had hired 59 felons through a work release program as canvassers and submitted nearly 300 apparently fraudulent voter registration cards as part of the drive.
The submitted voter cards included addresses and names that do not exist in Nevada, duplicate registrations, names culled from telephone books and names of Dallas Cowboys players, an investigator for the Secretary of State alleged in his affidavit for a search warrant.
One ex-employee of ACORN reached by the state investigator told him she began making up names for her forms on days when it was too hot to work outside. ACORN canvassers are paid by the hour. Ex-employees also said they were expected to collect 20 complete forms a shift or risk probation and termination, the investigator said in his affidavit.
The same extremist ACORN that endorsed Jr. Sen. Oshama in return for his $800,000 bribe:
For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for "advance work.")
Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people.
In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.
ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but Borges said there were problems with many others.
The group, which said it has registered some 1.3 million voters nationwide this year, is facing similar allegations in several other states including Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.
ACORN works in low-income communities that trend Democratic.[Is anyone surprised?]
. . .
"It is our policy to turn in all cards, even those we know to be problematic[fraudulent (there, fixed it for you)], to the local Board of Elections," Sharon Patterson-Stallings, a member of the Connecticut ACORN Board, said in a written statement Thursday.
The Democratic candidate's donors also include "Derty Poiiuy," an individual with a scatological sense of humor who has given $950. "Mong Kong" has contributed $1,065 and lists an address in a nonexistent city. "Fornari USA" gave $800 and listed the address of an apparel store of that name near San Francisco.
On Aug. 31, for example, the Obama campaign filed a report listing a single donation from a Debra Myers in "Rancho Palos Verde, Calif.," for $28,500 — more than 10 times the amount the law allows per election....
The Obama campaign also identified Woodrow Myers Jr. of Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 31 as having given $28,500 to the campaign.
. . .
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt e-mailed Newsmax to say that the contributions had been "reattributed" to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee with the Democratic National Committee, and that the excess had been refunded.
That still put both Debra Myers and Woodrow Myers over the federal limits — unless the Obama campaign refunded their entire checks, since Debra gave another $28,500 earlier in the year to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and Woodrow was way over the $108,2000 overall election cycle limit for individuals.
Individuals can give $2,300 to a federal candidate in both the primary and the general election, for a total of $4,600 in a single election cycle. They also can give $28,500 to a national party committee, $10,000 to a state or local committee, and $5,000 to other political committees.
If a candidate loses the primary, any money counted toward the general election must be refunded, a wrinkle in the federal election laws that can sink losing candidates deep in debt.
The Obama campaign has already had to deal with several FEC complaints about fraudulent donors and illegal foreign contributions, and the FEC says it has no record that those complaints have been resolved or closed.
. . .
Obama was forced to return $33,500 to a pair of Palestinian brothers who bought T-Shirts on the campaign's website — a clear violation of FEC rules and the law. The campaign claims to have returned the money but the brothers deny they have received a refund.
The 2008 Democratic presidential nominee had worked not just alongside ACORN, but also as a key operative for the organization.
He was its lawyer in several pivotal ACORN cases.
Obama funded a number of its activities, as well. When he sat on the board of the prestigious Woods Fund for Chicago alongside former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, he oversaw and approved many grants for ACORN.
As the National Review's Stanley Kurtz reported, one Woods committee report boasted that the fund's "non-ideological" public image "enabled the Trustees to make grants to organizations that use confrontational tactics against the business and government 'establishments' without undue risk of being accused of partisanship." [How convenient.]
Obama was the Illinois director of ACORN's controversial voter registration operation, and he trained the group's leaders in the ways of radical, sometimes illegal, confrontational politics.
Over the weekend, Newsweek reported of two donors who used the names "Doodad Pro" and "Good Will." Two other questionable donors used a combination of letters that did not form a name. One gave a total of $7,500 and the other contributed $14,200, both sums greater than what is allowed for a general election. The Obama campaign returned all but about $200 to these donors. [Returned to who? "Sreya Llib"? "Okzer"? "NROCA"?]
...Republican John McCain's campaign lists all donors, including those contributing less than $200, on his Web site.
Any United States election is just that — American — and outside influence should not be a part it. A campaign is expensive and time-consuming, but contributions from foreign sources are not only against the law, but also against who we are as a country.[This ought to be tattooed across Jr. Sen. Oboughtoff-n-paid-for's pointy head where his worshipstream media might read it.]
Newsmax reported last week that Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has collected "the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002."
Federal Election Commission data show that some $222 million of the cash Obama has collected came in the form of contributions of $200 or less, with the Democratic nominee's campaign identifying the donors of less than $40 million of that sum. [ = at least 910,000 unidentified donors]
Campaigns may accept donations of less than $200 without providing the donors' names and addresses in campaign finance reports, but Sen. John McCain's camp has made its full donor database available on the Internet[which true national heroes are wont to do]. Independent campaign finance watchdog organizations have asked the Obama campaign to list all its donors, as well, but it's refused[which shady national disgraces are wont to do]. What is Obama hiding? (Just a taste of his 'change'– stonewalling the voters–LH)
What B. Howshady Obigtaxincreases is hiding lies underneath the waves of phony donors, foreign contributions, and fraudulently registered "voters" from which his servilestream media are neck-breakingly averting their binoculars.
The task of coming on deck and helping our ship of state avoid a disastrous collision with that dicey Obergama now falls to us, the people who can't afford to remain merely passengers aboard her any longer.
If I were Governor Sarah Palin, I would ask the moderator prObamagandist™ about her pro-Øbama book cash-in, and why Gwen I[Heart]EdwardsØbama feels there isn't a clear conflict of interest, and why she feels there wouldn't be a perceived lack of objectivity regarding her moderation prObamagandized tainting of this debate.
Even Juan Williams of National Public Radio questions her objectivity:
"Clearly her books aren't going to do as well unless Obama wins, so it looks like she has some investment, literally, in one candidate or the other. And she's supposed to be sitting there as a neutral arbiter during the debate," said NPR's Juan Williams, a FOX News contributor. "I think the world of Gwen Ifill but I know there's a perception problem."
In the tank for both Jr. Fr. Sen. Øbama and all those almighty dollar bills that don't have his picture on them.
How will you bridge the political divide in the next four years? Ifill directs the question to Edwards. He tells her she's wrong, that it's Cheney's question. She insists she isn't wrong. Fifteen seconds into Edwards's answer, Ifill realizes that she is, in fact, wrong. Just to be clear: The problem with Gwen Ifill isn't that she's politically biased — it's that in her choice of questions and handling of the format, she is very nearly incompetent tonight.
Whether about government-backed mortgages or China's "emerging market," no truer words were ever spoken.

hile we're waiting on Freshman Junior Senator zer-O'bagman for Fredd/Fannie MacMae's parachuting fat cat CEOs (aka his campaign's meltdown's "advisors"/donors) to stop his waiting on someone else to come up with enough fluffy text regarding Teh Crisis™ to fill more than a couple of scroll-throughs on his empty pointy skull's surgically attached teleprompter, I suggest we petition Congress to pass a law requiring that every House and Senate Demoqrat Qommunist, before he/she/other may ever again say anything at all about said Crisis™, have this post's title permanently tattooed across their sloping foreheads so every time any alleged "reporter" gets ready to ask any of them yet another softball "question" right after they've invariably proffered more of the same denial of their own direct responsibility right after blaming everyone and everything else for Teh Crisis™, said "reporter" might read for the very first time in his/her/other socialist-indoctrinated life that bedrock principle of free markets, slip up, and ask his/her/other fellow said Demoqrat Qommunist the following instead:
Senator (or "Representative"), do you think feel the cause of this Crisis™ may have something to do with you and your fellow lawmakers forcing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make "loan" after unrepayable "loan" to people with low incomes who, by defintion, don't have any money to pay back such loans?
At the very least Senator Dodd should be forced to recuse himself from ever participating in — much less chairing — any hearings on the Fredd/Fannie MacMae bailout, since
Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie's PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989).

Nothing sounds like more of the same Washington-insider corruption, lobbyist kickbacks, special-interest favors, and outright bribes, more than those four out-of-touch crooks.

John McCain speech draws record TV ratings By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain beat Democratic rival Barack Obama in the crucial battle to attract U.S. television viewers during their race to the White House, according to figures released on Friday.
Nielsen Media Research said a record 38.9 million TV viewers watched McCain accept the Republican nomination on Thursday, slightly more than the 38.3 million people who tuned in for Obama's speech last week.
McCain's tally was believed to be the biggest commercial TV audience ever for a single night of a U.S. political convention, Nielsen said.
The Republican convention in St. Paul also attracted more average viewers overall than the Democratic Party convention in Denver last week.

en. Pres. McCain's acceptance speech reminds me of the first Pres. Bush's in 1988. In the weeks leading up to it, the media ran story after story — Demoqrat propaganda, really — cartoonishly portraying him as a weak, goofish "wimp" or detached, "silver spoon"-fed villain. Being a young "all-heart"progressive liberal and al-Gorebot(!) voter back then, I more or less lapped it up.
Then I tuned in for Pres. Bush's speech.
There was steel in his voice. His face shone with determination and conviction. Both engendered my confidence in his ability to lead our nation well.
I voted for him that November.
Perhaps that's why, given the internal backbiting and overall mean-spiritedness of the Demoqrats' 1988 national convention and their subsequent, overt nastiness before Pres. Bush's speech, U.S. News & World Report's Michael Barone writes about the parallels he's found in their latest, calling it "the edgiest Democratic National Convention since 1988."
By far, the 1988 and 2008 Republican national conventions were each more uplifting than both those Demoqrat ones combined.
bombYa supporters drop deadly cement bags from overpasses on buses carrying delegates, body-slam little old ladies and snatch their convention passes, break downtown businesses' windows, block and terrifyingly rock a bus full of Boy Scouts, and otherwise brutally violate the basic constitutional rights of peaceable, law-abiding Americans.
Who's funding these domestic terrorists? George $oros? Obama bin Biden's bomber pal Bill Ayers?
The public clearly has a right to know.
So why's the so-called news media not investigating their fellow Leftists' indiscriminate acts of murderous violence against innocent civilians? (Never mind. I just answered my own question.)
I do know if I were a Right-to-Carry "gun clinger" attending the Republican convention, I wouldn't be calling these clear and present dangers to either my own or anyone else's person "protesters" or even "anarchists."
