First contact

A rare, new bacterium thrives in spacecraft clean rooms (and nowhere else) as far apart as Florida and French Guiana.

They apparently have not yet tried to make contact with their hosts. The only thing we have to worry about so far is the “take me to your leader” part if it involves President Wormtongue.

Ten days vs 25 years

Ken Anderson lost his law license and is pretty well disgraced in Central Texas now. But 10 days in jail for prosecutorial misconduct (hiding exculpatory evidence in a murder trial) is insulting to his victim Michael Morton who has spent 25 years in prison.

If the judge can’t bring himself to slap a fellow member of the “justice” system elite by handing Anderson a sentence that matches Morton’s, at least Anderson should be made to pay restitution to Morton, if it takes the rest of Anderson’s life.

The odds that the Obamacare fraud can be fixed by the promised Nov. 30? Practically nil.

By New Year’s? Don’t hold your breath.

And if you’ve already lost your health insurance—as your provider anticipated higher costs under the O-Scam and eliminated your policy from its portfolio—you are truly out of luck.

Because, even if you throw caution to the wind and trust the very hackable ObummerCare to get you a policy, you could wind up with nothing more than identity theft.

Meanwhile, back at the fix-it shop, Democrat contractor Inspector Clouseau is going over the 500 million lines of faulty code with his super French detective magnifying glass. Just 499, 999,000 to go.

And Obummer is out there on the speech circuit trying mightily to change the subject: “Quick, look over there.”

UPDATE:  As many as 52 million Americans could lose their health insurance under the O-Scam.

Remember when his parents met on the Selma march?

Obozo’s penchant for public lying started early, at least as early as March, 2007, and it’s the best indicator of how lying is his way of life and thus isn’t likely to change now.

LeighB, a commenter at Roger L. Simon’s blog on PJMedia, reminded me:

“When Obama was on the campaign trail, with Caroline and Ted Kennedy sharing the stage, he said his parents first met at the march on Selma. I was shocked. A complete falsehood, easily checked and immediately recognized as historically inaccurate. No one called him on it. Ted knew it was a whopper and barely blinked. ”

Ted-the-Red did his own share of lying, though he was, generally, more careful about it. And some versions of the story have The Groper and the Lizard Queen with him instead of Ted and Caroline. LeighB nevertheless sums it up well:

“Obama lies to distract, to get his way, because he thinks he’s special. He does not think in terms of right and wrong, he just thinks about what he wants and how to get it…”

Which is very characteristic of adolescence, a life stage Obumbles seems never to have left behind. (As also shown when he gave the Lizard Queen the finger during their debates.) So it’s highly unlikely, no matter how far down his poll numbers plunge, that President Clown would (or even could) stop the lying.

The Audacity of Mendacity

What Obumbles said was…

No, what he said was very clear: “If you like your healthcare, you can keep your healthcare. Period.” Said it repeatedly, over and over again, just last year.

Until that lie was shown to be a lie. Now it’s being replaced by a new lie: “Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”

Whatever that means…

This is the clown who supposedly wrote a 2008 campaign book called “The Audacity of Hope.” What he really meant to title the book was “The Audacity of Mendacity” because that is what he’s all about. Just one lie after another.

Meanwhile, his chief apologist, the NYTimes, is contorting itself to explain all this away. The narrative rules! Reality must not intervene. The first black president must not be shown to be a fraud. Even when he does it himself.

The great thing about daylight savings time

The great thing about daylight savings time, which switched over Sunday morning, is that the digital clock in my Honda CRV, which I never reset an hour ahead back in the spring because I can never remember how to do it, is now correct. Whoo-hoo.

Other than that, tell me again why we need daylight savings time? Unlike Dr. Helen, I don’t hate it. I just find it annoying. Fall back is easy, but spring ahead is a real pain. And I have better things to do than learn how to reset the car clock. It’s easier just to remember it’s an hour behind. Until it isn’t. Again.

The Lizard Queen’s 94th Birthday

Not really, but she sure looks like it in the places where the Botox isn’t working. At least Old Alligator Neck is starting to wear high collars when out in public. Thank goodness for small favors from her Royal Lowness.

Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens’ 53rd birthday was back in April, just a few months after her famous remark about his Sept. 11, 2012 murder in Benghazi: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” whether it was about a video as she and Obozo claimed to the world or for some other reason.

None to her, of course. It must not be allowed to prevent her from following Obumbles into the White House, if she has to crawl in on her belly like the reptile she is. So her husband, The Groper, can be co-president and prey on interns again. Then we’ll see how many more ambassadors get murdered on the Lizard Queen’s watch.
