Department of Justice's Stimulus Package for Attorneys

The United States Department of Justice pulled back, giving a 60 day extension for all public pools in the country, including every hotel in the country, to comply with regulations requiring wheelchair ramps. I'm not entirely sure what happens once the wheelchair goes in, or how they are expected to accommodate electric wheelchairs, or if this is some elaborate joke that ends with thousands of handicapped people named Bob. The only thing these regulations would accomplish is a flood of lawsuits against public pools (most likely hotel chains, having the deepest pockets), giving a stimulus of cash to plaintiff and defense attorneys. It is this kind of ridiculous central planning that makes me wonder if the handicap lies not with the paralyzed, but in the minds of the regulators. I'm sure the hotel chains are lining up to donate to President Obama for that generous 60 day exemption. File this one in the category of so ridiculous, it can only be government.

Gloria Allred, Moron at Law

Gloria Allred, who was part of the ridiculous railroading of former Presidential candidate Herman Cain has asked Florida prosecutors to look into criminal charges against Rush Limbaugh for calling attention seeking Sandra Fluke a slut. The leftist hypocrisy on this has lifted to a new crescendo, crashing like a wave of idiocy across the land. I'm assuming Ms. Allred won't want me jailed for calling her ignorant.

Damned War on Women Must Be Expensive to Fight

President Barack Obama, whose party has taken to accusing Republicans of waging a war on women for various reasons, the latest of which is a 30 year old law student (who is apparently specializing in public appearances) who is too irresponsible to hold herself accountable for her own actions, must need a lot of money to fight that war. Not only has the White House told his fellow Democrats not to expect campaign money this election cycle from the Presidential campaign, but he had to take $1 million from Bill Maher! You remember him, the women's rights activist who repeatedly has expressed his own brand of misogyny which includes several vile references to conservative women.

By the way, ask yourself why Sandra Fluke decided to attend a Catholic university even though she had a history of campaigning for abortion, contraception and (reportedly) employer paid sex changes? Because she wants to force her views on the institution. She could have gone anywhere else.

This is the Car America Had to Stop Building

Commercials for the Chevy Volt have actor Tim Allen reading a script which includes the line "This is the car America had to build." Apparently not so much. GM is announcing a five week suspension of production of the Volt along with temporary lay offs of 1,300 workers. The heavily government subsidized, occasionally flammable car with a battery life that makes a smart phone look like a perpetual motion device was plagued by poor sales (despite President Obama's promise to buy one when he's no longer President).

What we have here is yet another case study to show that government cannot centrally plan an economy or somehow legislate technological progress (though, ironically, essentially the Volt is a coal powered car, so progress is a relative term). Government has no business trying to do this kind of thing as it just throws tax dollars at bad ideas. Now do I think politicians on the left or the right will suddenly recognize this? Nope.

Don't Say I Didn't Warn You

In hotly contested elections with accusations of fraud, former President and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is once again President of Russia. This is a continuation of the slide back to dictatorial status of the Russian government (though in reality, that's only like a 1 foot long slide). Putin's opponents have vowed to challenge the result, but I have little faith that they will be able to prove the allegations of corruption as long as Putin has anything to say about it, nor would he willingly surrender power even if they could.

When Society Places So Little Value on Life

The Dutch (Netherlands, Nederlanders, Lowlands, Payees-Bas, that area surrounding Amsterdam, home of the EU (pronounced EWW), home of the dikes, famous for prostitution and "space cake") are anxious to kill their citizens. In fact, they are so anxious that, even if your treating physician won't consent to your decision to off yourself, they'll send someone in to do it for them. This was the first country to legalize the idea that medicine includes relenting to a person in pain who is likely not of sound mind and off them. In most places that is reserved to hit men. This is the outcome of people who do not value life because the state is eternal, and you are just a cog in it's machinery, replaceable (though, ironically, that same attitude is why western culture is disappearing).

Don't get me wrong, my grandmother refused medication to continue living. That was her choice. It did not take an affirmative action by someone claiming to be a health care provider to put her down like a horse with a broken leg. Every life is valuable and the person that chooses to end their own should do so with a clear mind and without the assistance of others. I will hold your hand as you pass away, but I won't hold the knife.
