Beautiful Passages: James Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’
When James Joyce published his book ‘Ulysses’ in 1922, it was roundly criticized and quickly censored by the powers that be. Through time it has proven to be one of mankind’s most alluring works, and to read it is akin to strapping on boots for a hike up Ireland’s highest peak, Carrantuohill. But throughout the story of a single day; June 16, 1904, there unwinds passages so creative and mysterious that were I capable of understanding it all it might make a Rhodes scholar of me. Alas, I’ll enjoy what I can, and explore where I must!
This passage is hardly the best Joyce offers, there are many more beautiful and certainly more insightful, but the description of a dog scampering along the shore is so perfect that I see myself there, with my dogs, tracing a barefoot path along a tide kissed beach.
A woman and a man. I see her skirties. Pinned up, I bet.

Conservative Backlash Postponed?
Some of the news coming out about the miserable job Michael Steele and the Republican National Committee is doing in preparation for November’s election is truly disheartening. It makes me wonder if those professional Republicans don’t realize that their job is on the line as well. Check this out:
Party treasurer wonders aloud about “millions of dollars in unreported debt” and Michael Steele’s answer is ‘you’re not supposed to be “wondering aloud.’ Pathetic. But it gets better.
Interesting. If shenanigans are revealed, and the FEC gets the chance to fine the RNC, will the president put pressure on his government agency to punish Republicans before the November election? Is that even possible?
Logistically, I don’t see a government agency moving that fast. But will that stop Barack Obama from trying? The man uses his office like a union tough wielding a cudgel (just ask Shirley Sherrod). Resisting temptation is a skill our president has yet to practice, and so this evolving plot twist might offer us political junkies a fix or two.

The Other Thing Rangel And Sherrod Have In Common
In the last two weeks we’ve seen an all too common site. Let’s see if you can recognize it.
Andrew Breitbart releases a video on his site Big Government that accuses the NAACP of harboring racist sympathies, attacking them vicariously through Shirley Sherrod, a government tool invited to speak before members of the organization. President Obama’s administration reacted lightening fast to the potential for bad press, and was actually demanding she pull over to the side of the road so they could have her resign pronto. Is she a racist? No, a reformed racist who has good reason to be racist because her father was murdered by a white man. So now we’re all feeling sorry for her, and Obama gives her a promotion and a mealy mouthed apology (so we hear).
Charlie Rangel (D – Ancient) is an 80 year old black senator who fought in Korea and runs the powerful Ways and Means committee. That means he writes the tax laws we all have to obey. Ironically he’s been charged with 13 violations of evading them, raking in the cash through lobbyists to fund his favorite charity, The Rangel Center. Democrats are worried the evidence of corruption breaking out within the Democratic Party (see Maxine Waters) will damage their already morbid prospects in the November election. Charlie Rangel is fighting mad, talking again about his getting shot at in Korea, says he’s not going anywhere, he’s a fighter! Here comes Obama to the rescue, going on Katie Couric to announce to the world that Charlie is old, probably corrupt, and ought to resign with some dignity. Thanks for coming, Charlie. GOODBYE. I expect we’ll hear the other end of that Couric interview where Obama says “…and Maxine Waters is ugly, severely compromised, and ought to resign before Andrew Breitbart posts an interview of her speech at the NAACP.” We’ll see if Charlie Rangel or Maxine Waters survives past the weekend.
Sense a theme here? President Obama has a quiver full of ‘Fuck Yous’, and he likes to use them early and often. Why does he throw so many people under the bus? It hardly matters, for every time he does it it’s a boon to conservatives. We ought to cheer him on for it. His administration is full of them – leftist activists, ideological warriors, self-serving bureaucrats. By October 2014 I fully expect to see our president physically hurling disgraced appointees from their cubicles and into the street. It could happen.
So…three cheers for Obama! Obama! Obama! O—. Damn, I just can’t do it.

Irony Alert – NAACP Whines About ‘Extremist Elements Discrediting Legitimate Opposition’
The NAACP is trying to recoup some self-respect after helping President Obama throw Shirley Sherrod under the bus yesterday after some comments of hers describing her unwillingness to help out a white farmer were declared “discriminatory.” Now that we’re all watching the whole video of her speech, it appears she was using her reflexive racist tendencies as a lesson in how we should be motivated by classism rather than racism. The NAACP says it was snookered by Andrew Breitbart into slamming Sherrod’s actions as appalling and “shameful.” Then the president of the NAACP breaks out with a response so obtuse you have to wonder how monomaniacal those in the race industry are:
Hypocrisy, thy name is Jealous. He’s right on all counts. We just spent the last week talking about his organization’s resolution calling the Tea Party Movement a bastion of racists because they dare oppose the economic policies of a black president. I’m appalled at the shameful ignorance on display at the nation’s oldest “civil rights” organization (and you don’t have to worry about me having to take that back…).
One more thing – Andrew Breitbart isn’t responsible for Barack Obama’s adminstration’s decision to fire Shirley Sherrod. Andrew Breitbart was offering what will become a slew of examples of NAACP hypocrisy on the issue of hate and racism. We want to make her a victim, but don’t forget – her first reaction in being put in the position of having to help a white farmer was paranoia. You might find that reasonable, but I’ll argue that it’s a sign of lunacy that promotes hatred rather than clarity. We’re seeing too much of this happening in this administration – witness Eric Holder’s performance at the Justice Department.
So much for a post-racial America.

Beautiful Passages: Herman Melville’s Moby Dick
This morning, as I lay reading Moby Dick, I was propelled from my bed by yet another incredible passage by Herman Melville – the tome is loaded with them. He writes of Captain Ahab, early in the story:

Use The Tea Party Standard To Prove The NAACP Is Dangerous
We’ve been hearing a lot lately about what the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thinks of the Tea Party movement. At their annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri recently they passed a resolution declaring outrage over the racism inherent in the Tea Party movement that has spread all over America over the last year and a half.
It’s a leftist meme Americans are used to hearing ever since Barack Obama was elected. It seems anyone who is skeptical or outright hostile to the grand plans our president has for our country isn’t wrong – they’re racist. When we have harlots like Jeneane Gorafalo or Keith Olbermann dismissing reasonable concerns from decent Americans as “straight up racism” from the “Tea Klux Klan”, no one should be surprised that informed thinking on the left today means a two syllable answer to complex issues. The best reaction to the leftist media and their minions is to ignore them, like so many Americans are doing to MSNBC and did to Air America. Call it a boycott on prostitution, because that’s what Democrats are doing when they prostitute the suffering of so many before them to score cheap political points. It’s not even interesting any more. Hearing multimillionaire Lebron James described by Jesse Jackson as a “runaway slave” should be enough to convince everyone that America’s racist past is behind her. His quote is as asinine as the need for a black nationalist organization serving as the voice for all African Americans today – the NAACP makes a mockery of its heroic past by using trumped up charges and weak logic to impugn millions of Americans who have good reason to be angry about the direction our politicians are taking us. Let’s explore their implicit charge – the Tea Party harbors large numbers of barely concealed racists angry and scared by the election of a black president; they threaten to “take back America,” which is code speak for “lynching black people”. The proof? There’s this story about black House members being spat upon and called “niggar” as they walked across the mall to vote on Obamacare. Then there’s the signs we see at Tea Party rallies – where Obama is called a witch doctor or described as Hitler-esque. There aren’t many malicious signs, but there are many pictures of the few signs they find, and that’s enough to build a template with. Does the proof reach the threshold for leveling such an atrocious charge at people they know nothing about?
Not if you take the charge of “racist!” seriously. The NAACP was born of moral outrage, a righteous revolt against an evil streak in humanity that preys upon the weak and poisons the strong. When the NAACP takes the credibility it has and levels its condemnation at an amorphous, organic movement with no national leaders and declares it compelled by racism, the absurdity destroys the integrity this august organization has earned fighting against real discrimination for so long. To prove the absurdity and thus prove the point that the NAACP is morally bankrupt and deserves nobody’s respect, let’s use the corrupt standards applied to the Tea Partiers by the NAACP and those that think like them on a movement of their own, and ask test it for fairness.
The Million Man March happened on October 16, 1995. The crowd estimate varies wildly, with the National Park Service estimating 400,000 and the BBC claiming two million. It was a march led by the polarizing Minister Louis Farrakan of the Nation of Islam, and it was called to action to “convey to the world a vastly different picture of the Black male”. What was the picture of the black male in 1995? Ironically Jesse Jackson himself expressed it well when he said ”There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life, than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery — and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Black men as predators, and the statistics bear that out. Today, in many communities, the picture is still the same. African Americans make up almost 13 percent of the population; African American men making up less than half of that. Since men tend to commit more violent crime than women, it’s logical to surmise that roughly 6 percent of America’s black population commit 55 percent of the violent crime, 80 percent of all shootings, and 70 percent of all robberies in this nation. When violent crime happens in America, African Americans are 13 times more likely to be committing it. If we think like president Bill Clinton (whom, when he sees Madison flags waving, warns that another federal building is sure to be bombed), then the prospect of having hundreds of thousands of black men meeting in Washington DC on the mall to listen to a racial separatist would be, if FBI crime statistics are to be believed, reason to call out the national guard. No tea party gathering in any city in America could ever rival the potential for violence and crime that a gathering of young black American men would. The illegal aliens rushing our borders and committing crimes are, likewise, nowhere near the danger to Americans that young black men are – so wouldn’t it follow that building walls around our inner cities would protect more Americans than building them on the border? (The Chinese are doing it!) The leaders of the Million Man March insisted that they were there to “unite in self-help and self-defense against economic and social ills plaguing the African American community.” Sounds laudable, and it doesn’t matter if the march didn’t devolve into a crime wave – what’s important is the potential for crime, or the climate created, and so reason enough to condemn all the marchers as incipient criminals that don’t deserve to be listened to. Am I not being fair, as fairness is defined by the left in America today?
The NAACP said on Friday that their resolution condemned all racism wherever it occurred. Sounds nice, and since no one is allowed to actually read the resolution that passed until it’s unveiled in October, we can follow the left and apply the ‘Tea Party Standard’ to judge their sincerity (and thereby casually dismiss their reasonable concerns related to racism in America). That would mean somebody on the right with the gravitas of an ex-president announcing that the NAACP, as an organization of, for and limited to black people, represents the interests of a demographic responsible for more misery, death and destruction than any organized threat this nation faces. Any time more than a score or two of African American men gather anywhere, are they not, ipso facto, creating “a climate in which people who are vulnerable to violence because they’re disoriented, like Timothy McVeigh was, are more likely to act.” Would it be fair to say, as well, using the ‘Tea Party Standard’, that the very NAACP convention issuing that ridiculous resolution was itself a threat to the safety and livelihood of the surrounding Kansas City citizens, just as President Clinton warned us about? Don’t listen to what the NAACP is saying, just attack their motives for daring to open their mouths and back that up with your own facts, right?
Wrong. Just as it is manifestly unfair to demonize and ostracize a vocal minority of conservative Americans who have real and reasonable concerns about the direction this country is headed, it’s manifestly unfair to dismiss the concerns of liberal black Americans who have real and reasonable concerns about the state of their community today. To slander and lie about the motivations of the Tea Party is a calculated attack born of intellectual laziness and malice. To impugn the integrity of all black people because of the crimes of some in their community is to disrespect the affect racism and its attendant effects has on its victims. It’s absurd to think otherwise, and it cheapens the political discourse to ratchet up what divides us for political gain.
I’ll say it again – the Democratic Party isn’t mature enough to be responsible for representing the first minority president. Instead of inviting in a period of pride and progress, they used it to condemn anyone not bowing the knee as racists. Predictable, yes. Tragic? Indubitably.

Think Progress Puts Out Phony Manufactured Video To Slander Tea Party As Racists
The lie by Think Progress has been exposed… caught red handed!
Gateway Pundit has the story on how the frauds over at Think Progress have not only put out a phony chopped up video to make Tea Party Patriots look like racists, but how the entire video is manufactured by using Liberal plants at the Tea Party rallies.
Here is the entire video of second guy in the video above, the guy that says “I’m a proud racist, I’m white’ . He is a Democrat who showed up to this particular rally in a swastika shirt, and eventually chased away by Tea Party protesters themselves.
Not only are the dirt bags over at Think Progress a bunch of lying pieces of shit, but apparently they’re incompetent lying pieces of shit as well in that they were so lazy as to use You tube clips that could easily be dispelled by a simple search on the internet.
Make sure you check out the post over at Gateway Pundit, he has a lot more links that blows a hole into the making of the fraudulent video.
UPDATE: Bob Owens of Pajamas Media breaks down the video bit by bit. Here is what he had to say about the swastika guy in the above video…
The problem is, Activist 2 isn’t a tea party protester. He is a tea party crasher.
Go check out Bob Owens great piece, he literally destroys the whole video for what it is, a balls out lie!

Barack Obama Heeds Economic Advise From Bill Clinton… Transcripts Of Secret Meeting Included!
A report broke yesterday that President Barack Obama has turned to former President Bill Clinton to get some advice on the struggling economy.
Newsmax.com has the details…
Political Vindication sources had any opportunity to get us some exclusive transcripts of this conversation between these two Democratic Party heavy weights.
Transcript starts here:
BARRY: Ahhhh, Mr. President, the economy is in terrible shape, every left wing idea I’ve tried the last year and a half has failed, Billy how the hell did you do it in the 90′s?
BILL: Shhhhhh…
BARRY: What? huh?
BILL: We may want to step in the other room Mr. President.
BARRY: Ahhhh, OK, Billy if you say so.
BILL: Keep you voice down Barry, for crying out loud. I can’t have guys like Peter Schweizer find out about this. That son of a bitch nailed me with that Community Reinvestment Act thing that some peanut farmer started a while back.
BARRY: Ahhhh, Peanut farmer? Have I ever met that guy?
BILL: No, but you’ll be sitting right next to him in the history books if you don’t listen to what I have to say… so just stop talking for a minute dammit!
BARRY: Ahhhh, sure Billy.
BILL: Look Barry, the single greatest thing that saved the economy under my first term, and most likely saved my presidency was that I let the Republicans take over Congress in 94. And, while the rest of my party was down in the dumps, I knew the party of Ronald Reagan was going to bring back the economy of the 80′s. Think about it Barry, you can let those rascally Republicans fix the economy, while at the same time kicking and screaming for every problem that occurs throughout the duration of your presidency. You can have your cake and eat it too, when something goes good you take the the credit, when something goes bad you blame the Republicans.
BARRY: Ahhhh, Billy, are you sure about this this? What about that tax increase you gave in 93, you know the one that hit senior citizens on social security the hardest, that’s been on my list for a while now.
BILL: Barry, don’t be a damn fool! No society has ever taxed itself into prosperity. That tax increase was only passed because I needed to make the far Left kooks happy, to make them think we were sticking it to the rich.
BARRY: Ahhhh, something just doesn’t sound right about this Billy.
BILL: Damn it Barry, will stop yapping! Think for a moment. Remember welfare reform and the capital gains tax cuts of the 90′s? That was Newt and the gang that came up with that crap, not me. After 1994 the economy started booming for me, while at the same time it allowed me to tell the whole country that Republicans wanted little children to starve and they wanted to take away Medicare from granny.
BARRY: Ahhhh, But my Pastor was telling me how great Cuba is… rumors from those life raft survivors say that it’s another utopia over there Billy.
BILL: For the love of God Barry, shut up for a second! Remember that Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez, why the hell do you think I sent Janet Reno into that boys aunt’s home with guns-a-blazing? Because that boy would have been a hero to that ungrateful Cuban community in South Florida… Dammit Barry I still don’t understand why those Cubans couldn’t be more rational and bow to our alter like all the other Latin American immigrants, they keep mumbling words like freedom, liberty and blah, blah, blah. What ever, ungrateful bastards!
BARRY: But, Michael Moore says Cuba is….
BILL: Barry, this is not a press conference… will you please zip it and hear what I have to say!
BARRY: O.K.
BILL: My advice to you Mr. President, let the Republicans have both chambers of Congress, sign and pass everything that they put on your desk concerning the economy, and use your bully pulpit to make them look like a bunch of callous bastards. It’s that simple Barry!
BARRY: Ahhhh, So what you’re saying is that the fact that my party is going to lose seats this November is a good thing?
BILL: Barry, get your head out of your own pie hole. The 1994 mid-terms were a landslide in favor of Republicans, for every seat they gained, the stock market would eventually go up 500 points in my favor. Too bad the bottom dropped out at the end of my presidency in that .com debacle, that damn Terry McAuliffe made a killing off that Global Cross scam while the average granny lost her entire retirement. Damn it, I still feel a little bad about that one. But, oh well… shit happens!
BARRY: Ahhhh, so what you’re saying is the more we lose this November, the better off I am?
BILL: Yes, exactly! However Barry, you just can’t depend on those phony moderates to come out on their own to put the GOP in a position to win in a landslide. My advice to you is to make sure your party takes a beating, push a few policies that may be very popular with the 20% kook fringe base that voted for you, but very unpopular with with the majority of Americans on main street.
BARRY: Ahhhh, are you sure about this Billy?
BILL: Barry, when we leave this room, head on up to the West Wing, call in your chief of staff and make sure that comprehensive immigration reform and the issue of rectifying the inequities between races are your top 2 agenda items between now and the election in November.
BARRY: Ahhhh, alright Billy…. I’ll give it a shot since nothing else is working.
BILL: Good luck Barry, I only wish I was around when that dumb peanut farmer blew it for our party for about a decade or so. Oh well, at least history won’t remember you the same way come after this November. It’s been a pleasure chatting with you Barry, just don’t talk so much next time we have another one of these chats.
BARRY: Ahhhh, thank you Billy…. give my best regards to Hillary. Ahhhh, you guys still ain’t pissed about that whole race card thing in South Carolina are you?
BILL: Barry, I got my 8 years in, so I’m good with it. But for Hillary, it’s been a slow healing process. But then again, if the GOP doesn’t make significant gains in November, you may have a very pissed off primary challenger in 2012. Good luck with that, I’ve seen Hillary pissed, it ain’t a pretty site.

Interesting strategy, lets hope it works out for the sake of the country, lord only knows how bad this economy has become under the leadership of ‘The One”.

Pushing Polygamy
In Saudi Arabia there’s a movement afoot to get men to marry more wives. I know, it sounds like cruel and unusual treatment and I thought we were all against torture.
It is a response to young Saudi women uninterested in joining a polygamous marriage, older Saudi women divorcees and Saudi men unable or unwilling to support more than one woman. The campaign seeks to counter what Saudi traditionalists see as an increasingly negative stigma attached to polygamy.
Saudi Arabia’s strict patriarchal guardianship system requires all women to be represented by men, either their husband, father or son, in all public and official spheres of life. Women are not allowed to drive, inherit, divorce or gain custody of children, and cannot socialize with unrelated men.
But Saudi Arabia’s firm gender roles and norms have loosened a bit over the past few years, and more and more young Saudi women are well educated, financially independent and exposed to different ways of thinking about themselves, relationships and their roles in society. Saudi social analysts say this leads many young Saudi women to refuse the advances of men seeking to take a second, third or fourth wife. Some women seek out foreign men, in the hopes that they will not end up in a polygamous marriage.
Here’s my question - where’s the same sex marriage crowd cheering this on? If it’s all about The Love, then why shouldn’t we all be agitating for polygamy here in the US? Or are we supposed to wait for traditional marriage to be thoroughly discredited before we move on?
In Iran the polygamous arrangement is the crowning shame in an environment where woman are completely submissive. Here in America we wouldn’t have to go through the tumultuous process of forcing females into the burka – we’d just explain that it’s the ‘open-minded’ thing to do since traditional marriages are nothing but ordained (if not monotonous ) rape and grueling labor. Doesn’t it all just end up sending us to the same place?

Ouch! Manufacturing Slows Down In June, Sharpest Drop In A Year!
Yahoo News has the details…
Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air hits the nail on the head, as he reminds us that the 4Q 2009 and 1Q 2010 GDP numbers, that the Obama Administration proudly proclaimed as the road to recovery, were due to manufacturing companies clearing out their inventory and not necessarily expanding production. There is simply too much anticipated regulation coming down the pipe from Washington (health-care, tax hikes) that is keeping business on the sidelines, and until some of that uncertainty is cleared up we may continue to see these anemic numbers from the manufacturing industry. Bottom line, this is just more bad news for an economy that was already in deep trouble.

Home Loan Applications Drop To A 13 Year Low
This isnt just a housing crash anymore, it’s more like a bond fire by now!
MSNBC has the details…
We really got a bad situation here, not only are homes not selling even with record low interest rates, but those Americans who have saved their whole lives are virtually receiving nothing in interest rate returns. This generally tends to affect older retirees who desperately need the additional income from their banks, and it also discourages future generations from saving money. At some point the government needs to stop trying to artificially hold up the housing sector and let the natural course of the market bottom out, focusing on building the economy and creating jobs is the best and really the only thing you can do at this point to help out this part of the economy.

A Lesson In Black American History!
This may be Zo’s best video yet. He goes far beyond the 1960′s Civil Rights era, he goes back to the Truman era, the Woodrow Wilson era, the Civil War era and even a little further back in American history. This is a long video, but it’s also more than a typical rant of his, it’s really more of a great history lesson.
Also, check out our interview with Zo on Political Vindication Radio back in August of 2008, before the coronation of ‘The One’.
