Fear and Loathing in Thurmont: G-8 Summit Will Be 15 Miles From My House

Posted on | May 16, 2012 | 1 Comment

Oh, I wouldn’t miss this for all the Euros in Athens!

Thurmont ready for G-8 Summit,
not worried about protests

THURMONT, Md. -
Eight leaders of the world’s largest economies will converge on Camp David this weekend for the 38th annual G-8 Summit, which will likely bring protesters from Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
Caught in the middle of all the hoopla nearby is the small town of Thurmont, where law enforcement have put the final touches on security plans for the G-8 Summit. Area merchants said they hope for a weekend spike in business.
As soon as the Secret Service informed Thurmont Police Chief Greg Eyler that the G-8 Summit would be held at nearby Camp David, Eyler immediately met with other local, state and federal law enforcement to come up with a plan.
“We’ve been meeting every week, and we’ve had special meetings to how we want to handle it and take into consideration crowd management, traffic congestion and so forth. We’ve got our plans together and we’re ready to deal with it,” Eyler said. . . .
Occupy protests are expected. In fact, Eyler has been in touch with a number of them, and the city has agreed they can protest at the Thurmont Community Park.
“They’re going to be peaceful. They just want to present their cause, walk the streets a little bit on the sidewalks and show the people what they are protesting. I don’t think it’s going to be a big issue,” Eyler said.
On Main Street, there didn’t seem to be many worries, for the most part.
“I think it’s going to go fine. It’s going to be really easy, and when they come in — the protestors — if they act up, we just sit back and watch them get arrested and laugh at them,” said Pamela Hamrick, of Hearts and Hands.

Dude. The Greek economy is melting down, threatening to take down the Eurozone with it. President Obama is locked into a dead-heat re-election campaign, trailing in two of the three most recent national polls.

The elite of the international press corps will be coming to Camp David for the G-8 summit and . . .

The Occupy movement is fighting to re-assert its relevance:

OWS has essentially fallen apart. It is not a significant presence on the streets; it is not a significant presence in Democratic Party politics; it is not a significant presence in the national conversation.

(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) OK, so if Occupy Wall Street is now being mocked as “not a significant presence” — a discredited joke, without any purpose or relevance — doesn’t it make sense that this weekend at the G-8, these demented nutjobs will engage in antics so bizarre as to exceed in degenerate criminal absurdity all the bizarre antics of their past?

Yeah, it makes sense that we are sure to witness a harmonic convergence of moonbat decadence this weekend in the tiny mountain town of Thurmont, with the elite of the international press corps on hand to witness whatever weirdness goes down. And I will be among them, covering the entire twisted carnival freak show. Hit the freaking tip jar!

Bank Run in Greece = DJIA Rises?

Posted on | May 16, 2012 | 15 Comments

Back in 2009, I started saying that U.S. economic policy was so far into uncharted waters that we’d reached that part of the medieval map where it says, “Here Be Dragons.” There was no precedent for what the Fed and the Treasury were doing, and any attempt to predict what came next was pure speculation because such bizarre conditions had never previously occurred in all human history.

Buy gold. Or maybe buy more ammunition. Maybe it didn’t matter, but the key point was that an awful lot of dung was being flung around, and sooner later, by the Law of Large Numbers, some of it would hit the fan. Anyway, today at Memeorandum I saw these headlines:

Greeks withdraw $894 million in a day:
Is this beginning of a run on banks?
– MSNBC

As Bank Withdrawals Surge,
Athens Relies More on ECB
– Wall Street Journal

Plug-pulling in Athens
– Financial Times

My first thought: What’s the Dow Jones Industrial Average doing? So I glanced over at the TV in my office and the Dow was . . . +25? WTF?

Evidence of a bank run in Greece, and investors aren’t pulling back? Or (alternate theory) European investors are buying U.S. stocks as a hedge?

Another theory: The zany inflationary policy at the Fed is so out of control that people are dumping dollars to buy stocks, figuring that at least stocks represent part of some tangible worth?

Who the helll knows anymore? ”Here Be Dragons,” indeed!

UPDATE: Still watching the Dow. As of 2 p.m. ET, it was still around +13, defying what would seem to be normal economic logic. But again, I’m not any kind of expert. I just know a few common-sense basics. It would seem obvious that if Greece is on the verge of a final meltdown, with untold consequences for the rest of the Euro zone, there is at least a risk this could trigger a global financial crisis.

Given such a risk, one would think that investors would seek security, and nothing is more secure than gold. Perhaps the gold market has already calculated in that risk, however. Maybe investors are trying to snag the last few dollars of earnings before the crash hits.

Lots of possible explanations, but none of them make sense to me.

Is @MaggiePolitico the Favorite Girl in David Axelrod’s Stenography Pool?

Posted on | May 16, 2012 | 7 Comments

Drew M. at AOSHQ catches Team Obama’s Pet pushing Democrat oppo research against a dude who appears in a new Romney campaign ad. Here’s the ad, and the dude Hagerman blows up is Jason “Jay” Clausen, who got laid off from his job in Iowa:

Permit me to say, from long experience, that political reporters get tips from all kinds of sources all the time. The identity and motives of the tipsters are often not known, just a voice on the phone or a pseudonymous email account. The facts are the facts, without regard to who reports them or why. But if this isn’t an oppo-dump, what is it?

The question is whether Maggie Haberman would protect the confidentiality of a Republican source who gave her such a cheap little piece of dirt about a Democrat, or whether her Opposition Research Stenography Service is only available to Team Obama.

Haberman has reported things that I have gladly linked in the past, and I’m sure I’ll link her again in the future.

She is a good reporter. But if, as I suspect, she’s pushed this tawdry cheap shot at the behest of PROFESSIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLITICAL OPERATIVES, perhaps next time they ship her a load of dirt, she would DO HER READERS THE FAVOR OF BEING HONEST ABOUT WHERE SHE GOT IT.

I’m sorry. Was I shouting? Kinda stressed out lately . . .

My point is that you don’t have to burn your sources in order to be honest with your readers. If Democrats were pushing dirt, you can give the reader a general sense of that without being specific. But I wasn’t born yesterday and I know an oppo-dump when I see one. I saw it done to both Herman Cain and Rick Santorum during the GOP primary campaign, and knew damned well that it came from rival Republican campaigns.

If Maggie Haberman wants to swear out an affidavit that she independently took it on herself to do a public-records search on Jay Clausen, then I will admit my suspicions were misplaced.

Prove me wrong, or I’ll take your silence as an admission I’m right.

Sarah Palin, Herman Cain Help Nebraska Underdog Deb Fischer Win Primary

Posted on | May 16, 2012 | 25 Comments

The first sentence of this story about the GOP Senate primary by Josh Lederman in the Hill absurdly portrays state Sen. Deb Fischer’s victory over Nebraska State Attorney General Jon Bruning as “dealing a blow to both the Republican establishment and the Tea Party.”

This is stupid. If the Republican establishment loses to a candidate backed by both Sarah Palin and Herman Cain, of course the Tea Party wins. What else could explain it?

Fischer, a rural rancher who has never held statewide office, had long been written off in the race to replace retiring Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.). But Fischer turned the table on her two GOP opponents in the final week of the campaign despite being out-fundraised many times over. . . .
For months, Bruning had a clear double-digit lead over Fischer and [State Treasurer Don] Stenberg. Few Republicans saw a realistic opportunity for Fischer to overtake Stenberg, and even fewer thought Fischer could pull off a first-place finish.
But in the waning days of the primary, polls showed major movement in Fischer’s direction, and Fischer said her grassroots efforts and positive campaign had finally paid off. Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) and former presidential candidate Herman Cain waded into the race to back Fischer, and a super-PAC controlled by Chicago Cubs owner Joe Ricketts pumped $200,000 into the race to support Fischer and attack Bruning.
Stenberg’s third-place finish was a bruising defeat for fiscal-conservative groups who backed him, including Club for Growth and Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) Senate Conservatives Fund. The Club spent more than $700,000 to attack Bruning, and DeMint’s PAC dropped more than $1.1 million on ads promoting Stenberg.
Meanwhile, Tea Party Express, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) all backed Bruning, who was widely considered the establishment candidate.

Anyway, Fischer will now face former Democrat Sen. Bob Kerrey in the race to fill the Senate seat being vacated by the Democrat Nelson, considered an almost sure pickup for the GOP.

Exactly how so many people — including DeMint and the Tea Party Express — backed the wrong horses in this three-way primary, I don’t know. But for Lederman to interpret this miraculous win for Fischer as a defeat for the Tea Party is just flat wrong.

UPDATE: Instead of letting Josh Lederman tell us What It Means (in the first paragraph of the story, so you couldn’t miss it), let’s try this instead:

Congratulations to Deb Fischer
by Sarah Palin on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 9:35pm ·
As recently as a week ago, Deb Fischer was dismissed by the establishment. Why? Because she is not part of the good old boys’ permanent political class. The message from the people of Nebraska is simple and powerful: America is looking for real change in Washington, and commonsense conservatives like Deb Fischer represent that change. I applaud Moms like Deb Fischer who are bold enough to step up and run on a conservative platform to restore America and protect our children’s future. Congratulations to the people of Nebraska. As the Huskers’ fight song goes: “The eyes of the land, upon every hand, are looking at you. Fight on for victory!”
– Sarah Palin

And That’s the Way It Is.

. . . has any event in the history of Western civilization been more significant than the forthcoming publication of Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds’s The Higher Education Bubble. This 56-page booklet, the 29th in the brilliant Encounter Broadside series, has been breathlessly awaited for months, in expectation that it will revolutionize our nation’s education system. Here is the publisher’s summary of this eagerly anticipated work:

America is facing a higher education bubble. Like the housing bubble, it is the product of cheap credit coupled with popular expectations of ever-increasing returns on investment, and as with housing prices, the cheap credit has caused college tuitions to vastly outpace inflation and family incomes. Now this bubble is bursting.
In this Broadside, Glenn Harlan Reynolds explains the causes and effects of this bubble and the steps colleges and universities must take to ensure their survival. Many graduates are unable to secure employment sufficient to pay off their loans, which are usually not dischargeable in bankruptcy. As students become less willing to incur debt for education, colleges and universities will have to adapt to a new world of cost pressures and declining public support.

That’s about 120 words of a 7,000-word treatise destined to be remembered as one of the most profoundly influential documents in 21st-century intellectual history. How do I know that it’s 7,000 words? Because he told me about it over barbecue and beers the last time I was in Knoxville. And he picked up the tab.

Also — full disclosure — I’ve been procrastinating for two weeks on transcribing an interview I did with Harry Stein, whose excellent new book, No Matter What…They’ll Call This Book Racist: How our Fear of Talking Honestly About Race Hurts Us All, is also published by Encounter. So I really owe Roger Kimball and the fine folks at Encounter a solid, to say nothing of the obvious reasons I’d want to curry favor with Instapundit, who has thrown me a crapload of traffic over the years.

Furthermore — forget “full disclosure,” because my career by now is such a Gordian knot of shady ethical compromises I can’t even begin to count the potential conflicts of interest involved — there is the outside possibility that Roger Kimball and the fine folks at Encounter might be interested in a book I’d like to write.

INTEGRITY LIKE PAUL F**KING ANKA, BABY (And Other Great Riffs I Shamelessly Stole From Ace of Spades)

Well, that’s the working title, anyway. Kind of a work in progress that I haven’t actually started writing yet. I’m flexible, and if Roger and the fine folks at Encounter want me to turn it into a scathing tell-all biography of Millard Fillmore — hey, cool, whatever.

Call me, Roger. We’ll do lunch. Love ya, man.

Wait — hold on. We seem to have slightly digressed here . . .

Damn these psilocybin flashbacks. My point is that Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds has written The Higher Education Bubble, which is due for publication on June 26. However, through special arrangement with Amazon.com, you can pre-order this forthcoming blockbuster now, and be among the first to own this $5.99 volume that is sure to become an instant classic.

P.S.: He’s got a blog that’s kind of popular.

Rule 5 Tuesday

Posted on | May 15, 2012 | 2 Comments

– compiled by Wombat-socho

Left Bank of the Charles kicks off this week’s (belated) Rule 5 roundup by noticing the Obama campaign’s focus on womens’ breasts, and I don’t mean in a medical way. The Rio Norte Line shows that the Mexicans’ Federal Election Institute may not know Stacy, but they sure know Rule 5. The POH Diaries noticed that a former Nevada state senator is a write-in for Maxim’s Hot 100. Laughing Conservative brings back Emily Ratajkowski, while Randy’s Roundtable takes a midweek break with Martha Hunt and Felisia Mcginn. Zion’s Trumpet marks Friday with some attractive ladies, Fishersville Mike finds some NBA rule 5, and Reaganite Republican recommends Natalie Vertiz, sometimes known as Miss Peru. Jake Finnegan’s Burkalesque Babe this week is Florence Colgate, and the Rio Norte Line reminds us to check out the Femen Newsletter for May.

A View from the Beach has Poppy Montgomery, Greek & Mexican weathergirls, Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass”, and finally, girls with ground sloth fossils.

El Opinador Compulsivo has not one but two high-res posts. Also, Julia Orayen, a Bond Girls Timeline, Danii Minogue, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and a bikini mishap.

Soylent Green’s Monday Motivationer is Heather, Tuesday’s titillation is provided by Mara, while Audrey Nicole provides the Humpday Hawtness. Also, Afternoon Awesome, and a furry interlude. Also also, Jaclyn Swedberg!

At The Camp Of The Saints, it’s Alicia Machado and Jayne Mansfield; Proof Positive had Xenia Tchoumitcheva, Jill St. John, Bar Rafaeli, and everyone’s favorite (?) breast-feeding mom. Also, Carla Bruni! Dustbury has Tamron Hall and Kristen Wiig.

The DaleyGator is apparently lost in the swamps this week; pinch hitting for him is Three Beers Later, which chose to observe National Offend A Feminist Week by exploring the topics of exercise, specifically cardio workouts, office ladies as they used to be, lurid tales of the Vanuatu Legation Constabulary, and finally an observation of how far feminism has brought us.

Thanks to everyone for their linkagery! Deadline for next week’s Rule 5 roundup is Saturday, May 19.

Answer: Yes. Also, Naked Celebrities.

Rutherford B. Hayes Weighs In On #ObamaInHistory

News of #OccupyResoluteDesk’s tampering with Presidential biographies on whitehouse.gov, going back to Calvin Coolidge, is currently rocking Twitter. Also, note this brutal Tumblr feed.

By what miracle is Obama going to crawl out from under this derision and mount anything like a Presidential campaign, one is left to wonder. More at Twitchy.

Was #Anonymous Busted Because of Barrett Brown’s Betrayal — or Blunders? UPDATE: Hacker ‘Anarchaos’ Pleads Not Guilty in Federal Court Appearance

Posted on | May 15, 2012 | 11 Comments

By sheer chance today, I happened across an intriguing post at Ameristroika suggesting that Barrett Brown played a key role in the takedown of the Anonymous/LulzSec criminal hacker conspiracy.

To summarize briefly: The indictment of LulzSec hacking suspects Ryan Ackroyd, Jake Davis, Darren Martyn, Jeremy Hammond, and Donncha O’Cearrbhail mentions an unindicted co-conspirator.

There are enough intriguing coincidences — e.g., a tip to the Feds from a Kansas IP address, some months after Brown had mentioned plans to visit Kansas — to raise suspicions. Was Brown an FBI informant? Has he turned snitch since the FBI raid in March? Was it all a clever scam by Brown to score a book deal?

Permit me to suggest an alternative theory: Brown isn’t as smart as he likes to think he is, and got sloppy. He trusted someone he shouldn’t have trusted, and that person turned out to be a snitch.

Has Brown now rolled over and started giving up his former accomplices in a cowardly effort to save his punk ass? We’ll find out eventually, I guess, but the question is how soon we’ll find out.

UPDATE: One of the accused hackers thinks he can beat the rap:

A Chicago man pleaded not guilty Monday to criminal charges that he participated in a series of cyber attacks allegedly carried out by “LulzSec,” a globe-spanning collective of computer hackers who targeted government and corporate websites last year.
Jeremy Hammond, 27 years old, briefly appeared in Manhattan federal court to be arraigned on the charges.
After the hearing, a small group of supporters gathered outside the courthouse with signs saying “Free Hammond. Solidarity With All Hacktivist Prisoners” and “Burn The Prison Society.”
In a new indictment returned earlier this month, federal prosecutors in Manhattan alleged that Mr. Hammond, who allegedly went by the online names “Anarchaos,” “POW” and “ghost,” was a member of the LulzSec conspiracy and participated in some of the group’s hacking activities.

UPDATE II: Remember that “LulzSec” was a spinoff of “Anonymous,” a pre-existing network of so-called “hacktivists” that made headlines by swarming online to defend Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks project. And the online battles continue between the pro-Anonymous and anti-Anonymous. Barrett Brown’s name is mentioned several times by Sean Gallagher today at the tech Web site Ars Technica in an article about “Jester,” an enemy of Anonymous.

Brown first came to my attention in September 2009, immediately after the Great LGF Blogwar. When I learned in February 2011 that Brown had emerged as a public spokesman for Anonymous, I immediately predicted that Brown was either already under FBI surveillance, or else soon would be under surveillance.

Barely four months later, the British made the first arrest in the “Lulzsec” case, and soon the hacker named “Sabu” had turned snitch against his accomplices — although his accompliced didn’t know it — and the whole thing came tumbling down. But I’ve always thought Brown’s dumbass idea of making himself the public face of Anonymous was the key by which investigators unlocked that puzzle.

Feminists vs. Roxeanne’s Vagina

Posted on | May 15, 2012 | 24 Comments

Roxeanne de Luca resents having her saintly ladyparts invoked by feminists as a political argument in service of a cause she entirely rejects:

Robertson’s description of the modern left’s version of feminism [as a movement that “encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians”] is eerily accurate.

Read the whole thing. My response? No comment. Certainly, I have no official authorization to speak on behalf of Roxeanne’s vagina.

UPDATE: In the comments below, you’ll note that the aforesaid Miss de Luca demonstrates her aptitude for vivid prose in wishing upon me a rather lurid means of violent death. Let this be a warning to any of you handsome, wealthy bachelors who might imagine yourselves worthy to pursue the parthenic redhead’s connubial companionship: It’s kind of like the First Rule of Fight Club.

Her blog is Haemet, and you can follow Roxeanne de Luca on Twitter.

Dumbest Liberal in Media: Guess Who Won That Tough Competition?

Posted on | May 15, 2012 | 25 Comments

It was never much of a contest, really. Perennial champion Chris Matthews scored big-time, massively failing on Jeopardy, a show that Noel Sheppard of Newsbusters reminds us Matthews has frequently cited when mocking Sarah Palin’s intelligence:

In case you don’t keep track of “progressive” elite sentiment, know this: They hate Matthews, regarding him as a dimwitted embarrassment who can be counted on to recycle whatever secondhand conventional wisdom he picks up among his clique of D.C. cronies.

Chris Matthews has never had a single thought that was both good and original. Every good idea he’s ever uttered was borrowed (usually without attribution) from someone much smarter than him, and every original idea he has ever had was wrong. Matthews is a perfect example of how to game the D.C. system. He is the Beltway media’s unparalleled master of strategic sycophancy — knowing exactly whose butt to kiss — and manipulative cronyism, so that even the most blatant ineptitude and wrongheadedness are no obstacle to success.

There are probably three dozen liberal journalists — notably including Chris Hayes of The Nation, now host of a weekend show at MSNBC — who could do a better job than Matthews, a living example of the Peter Principle whose strangely extended (and inexplicably overpaid) tenure with NBC is one of the great mysteries of American media.
