Cool. The scumbag who ran Republic Windows (home to a fabulous attention-getting sit down protest some time ago) has been arrested for looting the company. $10 million bail kind of shocked everyone since the prosecutors had asked for half a mil. Nice to see the judge “gets” it.

Long story short, you don’t declare bankruptcy and then load your equipment onto trucks for use by another company you own in another state. Nuh uh.

Joe Wilson, when not being victimized by the left’s manufactured outrage, is, unsurprisingly, a big supporter of Dixie. In other bad behavior, downstate Illinois Republican Congressman John Shimkus walked out on Obama last night. His side of the chamber was unbelievably sullen and/or angry.

Sullen is how you behave when you don’t suffer from cognitive dissonance. Dealing bullshit is much less harmful than swallowing it. But there was genuine anger on that side because some of these folks are eating what they’re dealing.

The criminals fronting for others don’t offend me half as much as the true believers. But for the grace of god they’d be selling flowers on street corners for the Rev. Moon.

Sad but true:

Speaking of true believers and the unbearable lameness of whoredogs

“He’s always there,” [a constituent] said. “Whenever you needed him, he was there.” [odd but true fact: when you're corrupt, serious people don't bother to meet with you and you have even more time for politics]

Poverty rate is at an eleven-year high (and like the unemployment rate, you have to wonder what the real numbers are)

Use whatever numbers you like, but the U.S. Census folks say 46.3 million Americans lack health insurance

Don’t sue the overworked parole officers, sue the California politicians who gutted the budget for court services

Palin is taking credit for there not being any of the Death Panels that never existed in anyone’s mind but hers and her friends’ [ALWAYS substitute the operative word with the Jewish equivalent to remember where this trick came from, e.g., Jews are no longer eating Christian babies because we put a stop to their nefarious plot against the Reich]

Now that Hillary Clinton’s not running for President, Big Tent Democrat’s back on top of his game

The ACORN haters ran a sting over and over and over again, and finally found a sucker (in desperate economic times, you always will, either with the promise of money or sex, and this sting had both — including a hooker named “Kenya”)

Because we are who we are, we investigate ourselves

More forgeries

Joe Wilson’s earlier apology

Media:

John Stossel rewarded for his hackery with a job at Fox

Michael Savage rewarded by having his flagship station drop his hatemongering ass

Google’s undocumented .pdf trick (for bloggers etc. only)

Are reporters looking for information, or ammunition? (you have to ask?)

Posted the wrong link the other day. THIS is the best punk rock story I’ve read in years, not that the wrong link wasn’t also interesting in another way entirely.
