All Your Technology Are Belong To Us

Nancy Pelosi joins the ranks of Al Gore, who invented the Internet, Elizabeth “'there-is-nobody-in-this-country-who-got-rich-on-their-own” Warren and Barry “you-didn’t-build-that-yourself” Obama. She is now officially one of the illuminati who knows for sure that only the Government invents stuff (thanks to your individual involuntary contributions to the Federal Treasury).

See this iPhone? “Federal research invented it.” Not to denigrate Steve Jobs role she noted that he “did a good idea designing it and putting it together.” 

So, got that, Steve Jobs? You “did a good idea” butt  “all your technology are belong to us.”

UPDATE: In related news, original “study” linking conservatives to psychoticism got it wrong, completely wrong. Actually it’s liberals who are authoritarian and hence more psychotic.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism. - New York Post

Stand By Me: Presidential Candidate Version

So, The Won endorsed The Ton. Ho-Hum. Oh and  BTW, yes, The Ton is apparently under “criminal investigation” despite previous denials to the contrary. It’s no big deal, lots of Presidential Nominees have been under criminal investigation while running for…oh wait, no; they haven’t. Still no big deal, Barry is going to stand by her.

In other news - if you are suffering from Muhammad Ali fatigue, it will all be over soon: The Greatest is being laid to rest today. Here, I think, is the best way to remember him - as Cassius Clay. In case you forgot or never knew, before he was World Heavyweight Champion he was just another aspiring young singer. Here is a recording he made, a year before he became Muhammad Ali, singing Stand By Me. From singing to stinging; the guy actually might have been the greatest.

 

I think this could be Hillary’s new campaign theme song:

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

 

FOOTNOTE: This 45 is from an album Cassius Clay recorded in 1963, one year before he became Muhammad Ali. Listen to the flip side titled I Am The Greatest and tell me he wasn’t. Why, the man might actually have been the first African American rapper as well. For that I’ll never forgive him.

Ramadan, Two Ways

bca2ab6413f75065095eb42c10d5c3a8

The most holy season of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast from sunup to sundown, is met with varying levels of tolerance around the world.

In China, home of the Uighur (pronounced wee-gur) Muslim sect, fasting has been banned:

“Party members, cadres, civil servants, students and minors must not fast for Ramadan and must not take part in religious activities,” AFP quoted a notice posted on Thursday on the government website of central Xinjiang’s Korla city as saying.

Meanwhile in France, once considered the European base of freedom, a waitress is assaulted on the Riviera for serving alcohol during the most holy season:

The men launched into a tirade, calling her a “dirty whore” and left the cafe in a hurry. A few seconds later, however, the venue's CCTV footage reportedly shows the two men turn round abruptly and one of them rush towards her and violently slap the waitress in the face, knocking her to the floor.

The waitress, from Tunisia, was quoted as saying:

“I didn’t think that in France, country of liberty, I would have been assaulted like that.”

As Glen Reynolds pointed out, “In that country, you wouldn’t have been.”

#NeverHillary: Because Experience Matters

I just heard this actual exchange between a reporter and a millennial-on-the-street somewhere in California, explaining his primary vote:

Q “Who are you planning to vote for?”

A “Hillary Clinton (b. 1947). I just feel she’s the most experienced…I like Bernie (b.1941), but I just feel he’s too old. But I like Trump (b.1946) personally I just don’t think he’s qualified to be President of America.”So there you have it, from the mouth of a millennial: Hillary – because she’s not too old and she’s got the most experience.” – Fox News

So there it is: vote for the youngest candidate with…experience.

Complex diplomatic negotiations:

Shake, Stutter & Bark

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With Or Without You, U2 (Rattle and Hum)

 

Remember, only YOU can prevent Stutter & Bark from building on the “progress that they started.” I’m talking to you, Kristol, Romney, Erickson, O’Rourke, French and the rest of your #NeoProgressive  #HillaryByProxy #NeverTrump cabal.

And we WILL stop them: With Or Without You. 

“With Or Without You” U2 (Rattle and Hum)

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

“I Don’t Stop When I’m Tired, I Stop When I’m Done.”

 

ali in the mirror“It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound sand. I beat people up.”Muhammad Ali

The braggadocios young Muhammad Ali, nee Cassius Clay, mellowed with age and illness butt he will nevertheless always be known for his swagger.

I, however, am partial to the equally great boxer butt less bodacious Joe Louis -

joe louis muhammad aliJoe Louis and Ali

the first black Heavyweight World Champion. He was always described as a gentleman. (full disclosure: my uncle was the “Brown Bomber’s” commanding officer in WWII and his promoter for awhile afterwards)

Boxing is a lot like politics, everyone brags, everyone exaggerates and everyone dances around trying to evade the punches while awaiting the opportunity to land the winning blow. Butt unlike boxing, people playing the blood sport of politics will always play to the death. 

Which brings me to my brother’s favorite peripheral Joe Louis story. It involves Max Baer who, after being pummeled by Louis in a fight that only lasted four rounds, told a post-fight reporter "Sure I could have gotten up the last time. Twenty bucks entitles these people to see a fight. It don't entitle them to see a murder." 

In the world of politics however we demand the murder.

There will be bloodLord Byronthere will be blood

So, carry on troops; it’s not over yet.
