Time has a new piece up about those greedy, fat-cat bankers trying to stick us for our paper by adding new fees to offset the cost of our government overlords “reforming” the industry to save us all from ourselves. These aren’t dirty tricks; they’re basic economics. Get a clue! Are they supposed to give us credit at a loss to their business?

Fatty-fat-fat-fat Meghan McCain published a post last week about Obama’s appearance on The View. Of course, she thinks it’s great he went on there and that it doesn’t denigrate the office of the presidency. That’s bull. Almost all that Obama does denigrates the office of the presidency. She’s also upset because she thinks he squandered the opportunity to bring more people over to his side. Yeah, because that’s exactly what a true Republican would be upset about: the Democrat president being unable to change minds over to his liberal way of thinking. She doesn’t care what’s on Obama’s iPod, either. What she has yet to realize is that no one else cares what’s on her non-existent mind.

I was forced to listen to nonsense on the radio this morning. It was a black* morning radio host talking about the ethics charges mounting against Rangel and Waters. He was lamenting how “they,” although who “they” is isn’t clearly identified, are doing this to bring the black race down and it’s time the black race fought back. I wish I knew what the guy’s name was so I could call him out. Yeah, because that’s what these charges are about. It couldn’t possibly be because the two are morally bankrupt, corrupt, criminals/politicians? Nah! It must be a white versus black thing. Brother, please!

 *Yes, I refuse to use the politically correct term of “African-American.” Not every person who is black is of African ancestry. How is that term politically correct? Politically motivated? Yeah, I could see that. Politically correct? Who decided that? Plus, we’re all Americans. Cut the bull and stop balkanizing us by our ethnic and racial heritages.

Apparently, a CNN poll found that one in four Americans still question whether or not Obama is Constitutionally qualified to be president based on questions surrounding his birth. They stated:

It’s surely not what the leader of the free world wants for his birthday. But, for a stubborn group of Americans, conspiracy theories about President Obama’s birthplace are the gifts that keep on giving.

The president celebrates his 49th birthday Wednesday. On the same day, a new national poll indicates some Americans continue to doubt the president was born in the United States.

It could be argued that this is exactly what President Obama wants since he is the only one who could clear this up leaving no doubt or speculation, but he chooses not to. I’m not saying I think that he wasn’t born here. I’m just saying that he is the only person that could unequivocally put this issue to rest, yet refuses. If this isn’t what he wants it is in his power to change it.

The Other McCain is sporting some Rule 5 action, this morning, with a picture Marcela Hoeven in a bikini. Apparently, Dems are trying to take their Republican opponent down by stirring up the “family values” crowd. I don’t know what they’re thinking here. Is it against family values for a girl to wear a bikini? Is it against family values for a girl to look hot in a bikini? It’s not like they released a porno starring the chick. And, even if they did, why should that matter to her father’s campaign? Marcela is 23-years-old. Whatever! They’re just mad that conservative women are hotter than liberal women who pride themselves on looking like men.

Also, Stacy delved into what I would think of getting a job at the New York Observer at the age of 25 and getting a spot on TV. If I worked hard for that and felt that I had earned that position, I would be pretty psyched about it. If I had to go through life wondering if I am where I am because of who my parents are, not on my insight and ability, I would hate it. Stacy said this girl, Chloe Malle, seemed to be doing pretty well and that, after reading an interview she had given, he knew all he needed to know when she said that she would love to have dinner with her parents (her father having died when she was 10).

I realized a long time ago that just because you were born into a life of wealth, privilege and even fame, doesn’t mean that everything is great. Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, both born into wealth and privilege, became famous for sex tapes and partying. I would prefer my “hard knocks” life to their “privileged” lives  any day of the week. Chloe Malle could have used her wealth, privilege and fame in a variety of different ways. She chose to get a good education and work hard to succeed. Does it help that her parents are famous? I’m sure it does. But, that doesn’t mean she’s some idiot who couldn’t have made it on her own, like that idiot Meghan McCain who has no brain and certainly would be a nobody if it weren’t for Stacy’s cousin John.

I would love to write and be published anywhere, if it is earned through my talent and hard work. As for being on TV, I’m not sure fame is my thing. I like my privacy way too much and I don’t need the world knowing who I am and what I look like. Sure, there are ways to find out, but I would have to need a bodyguard or have to worry about who is recognizing me when I’m out on the street. I would hate to be Scott Brown (R-Mass.) who I called a douche-bag on my birthday because I saw him at my local bar. I don’t mind seeing my name in print, but I don’t need the world seeing my face on their TV screens.

Ann Coulter dispels the myth of the 14th Amendment…you know, that part that established citizenship for anchor babies? Apparently, that’s not what they meant when they were drafting, passing, and ratifying it:

The 14th Amendment was added after the Civil War to overrule the Supreme Court’s Dred Scott decision, which had held that black slaves were not citizens of the United States. The precise purpose of the amendment was to stop sleazy Southern states from denying citizenship rights to newly freed slaves – many of whom had roots in this country longer than a lot of white people.

The amendment guaranteed that freed slaves would have all the privileges of citizenship by providing: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

The drafters of the 14th Amendment had no intention of conferring citizenship on the children of aliens who happened to be born in the U.S. (For my younger readers, back in those days, people cleaned their own houses and raised their own kids.)

Inasmuch as America was not the massive welfare state operating as a magnet for malingerers, frauds and cheats that it is today, it’s amazing the drafters even considered the amendment’s effect on the children of aliens.

But they did.

The very author of the citizenship clause, Sen. Jacob Howard of Michigan, expressly said: “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers.”

In the 1884 case Elk v. Wilkins, the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment did not even confer citizenship on Indians – because they were subject to tribal jurisdiction, not U.S. jurisdiction.

For a hundred years, that was how it stood, with only one case adding the caveat that children born to legal permanent residents of the U.S., gainfully employed, and who were not employed by a foreign government would also be deemed citizens under the 14th Amendment (United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898).

And then, out of the blue in 1982, Justice Brennan slipped a footnote into his 5-4 opinion in Plyler v. Doe, asserting that “no plausible distinction with respect to 14th Amendment ‘jurisdiction’ can be drawn between resident aliens whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident aliens whose entry was unlawful.” (Other than the part about one being lawful and the other not.)

Scuttle has been confirmed to the Supreme Court! See, we are a progressive nation. Not only did we elect a celebrity, but the first bird ever to sit on the highest court in the land. I wonder if Ariel will be singing at the celebration party?

In all seriousness, though, when I heard that some Republicans had voted for her I asked myself, who? First answer: Lindsey Graham (Traitor-S.C.). And, of course, he was one of them. Other rejects to vote for confirmation who should be voted out as soon as possible: Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Richard Lugar (T-Indiana) and Judd Gregg (T-N.H.). Once again, I see a lot of New England “Republicans” on the wrong side of this vote, their party and the people. At least that douche-bag Scott Brown got this one right. Maybe me calling him a douche-bag and telling him that he sucked really helped, after all. I am now advocating a policy for all to call all traitors douchebags and tell them they suck. Can’t hurt to try, right?

I watched the Desperate Housewives of DC, last night. I know, I’m like a couple of days late. And, it has been confirmed, D.C., formerly known as the “District of Columbia” officially stands for “Douche City.” Shows like that leave me unable to understand this country. Admittedly, I like the Desperate Housewives of New Jersey. Come on, they’re bad ass. Those wives are flipping tables, pulling hair, and acting all mafioso. What are these other chicks doing other than calling each other too skinny and drinking wine? Oh, and showing how douchey DC can really be. No wonder Whoopi wanted to slap a bitch!

Roy Horn, of Siegfried & Roy, has been accused of sexually harassing his male assistants. What is surprising about this, you ask? Um, the National Enquirer finds it shocking. Is anyone really shocked by this? I’m not.
