2008 was bad.
2009 was a flaming disaster.
2010 totally sucked -- well, except for the midterm elections, which turned a lot of Democrats out of office.
2011? It's one year closer to 2012 and the end of an error. Have hope.
Happy New Year!

New Mexico Governor Denies Pardon to Billy the Kid; the Kid Comments
Billy the Kid reacts to being denied a pardon! |
The governor explains his decision:
"It was a very close call. I've been working on this for eight years. The romanticism appealed to me to issue a pardon, but the facts and the evidence did not support it and I've got to be responsible especially when a governor is issuing pardons," Richardson said.Read it all here.
Richardson said that Billy the Kid's decision to continue to kill after the pardon wasn't granted to him impacted his decision.
"What I think maybe tipped the scales with me is that Billy went ahead after not getting this pardon and killed two deputies, two law enforcement individuals, two innocents," Richardson said.

P.S. Just kidding. The cage around Billy's grave was to prevent tourists from chipping off souvenir pieces from the tombstone.
2010: A Disastrous Year for Barack Obama
From the U.K. Telegraph, we learn why 2010 was a terrible year for Barack Obama and why 2011 won't be any better:
The political landscape still looks strikingly bleak for the “transformational president” as he goes into 2011. 2010 was a stunningly bad year for Barack Obama, no matter how much the likes of The New York Times or The Washington Post might try to sugar coat it. Here are four key reasons why it was a year Obama will want to forget:Read the rest here.
1. The midterm elections were a defeat of epic proportions for the Obama Presidency
When Barack Obama spoke of a “shellacking” at the midterms, it was a huge understatement. The Republicans scored a significantly bigger win than they did in 1994, with their biggest gain in the House of Representatives in 62 years – since 1948. Fortunately for the Democrats, just 37 Senate seats were up for election, preventing what would have been an almost certain handover of power in the upper house too. Republicans also made huge gains at the gubernatorial level, with the GOP now holding 29 governorships to the Democrats’ 20. Republicans also picked up 680 seats in state legislatures, the highest figure in the modern era.

Obama's Birth Certificate: Legitimate Questions Still Go Unanswered
Neil Abercrombie, new Democrat governor of Hawaii, revived the Obama birth certificate controversy this week. He publicly announced that he was determined to refute and rebut all theories, questions and doubts about Obama's Hawaiian birth. All he did was to reignite the debate: was Obama born in Hawaii or Kenya? And why doesn't Obama release his long-form birth certificate and settle the issue once and for all?
Some media reports state that Obama has spent around two million dollars in court to avoid releasing the long-form birth certificate. Is it because he really does have something to hide? What other plausible explanation is there?
These are legitimate questions, in spite of the left's frenzied attempts to shout down, marginalize and denigrate those who are asking them. A case in point is Wikipedia's highly biased page on the issue, in which doubters and skeptics are called a "fringe" group and "conspiracy theorists" comparable to the 9/11 Truthers. Ridiculous!
Mondo Frazier at Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts says the left is using Alinsky tactics to shut down discussion of the subject. They do this by substituting scorn and ridicule for reasoned arguments. However, their tactic isn't working: a recent poll shows large numbers of Americans have their doubts about the facts of Obama's birthplace.
Now there are even people on the left who are asking the obvious question: "Why doesn't Obama just release the birth certificate?" Chris Matthews of Hard Ball said:
Here are some hard facts:
1. A short-form Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) is not irrefutable proof of Obama's birth place. In 2008, a liberal website, the Daily Kos, published a COLB purporting to be that of Barack Obama. Digital analysis indicated that it was a forgery. A COLB does not specify the hospital or doctor involved in the birth and offers very little information. Further, there are rumors on the internet that Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, was born in Indonesia but also was issued a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, allegedly proving that a COLB is not the final answer. I have not verified the accuracy of these rumors, but they again furnish a strong reason why Obama should release his long-form birth certificate, if only to spike such rumors.
2. A newspaper announcement is not a legal substitute for a long form birth certificate. A couple of Hawaiian newspapers have released microfiche copies of their 1961 pages announcing Obama's birth. Such clippings are evidence, but not conclusive -- could they just be repeating unverified and even inaccurate information supplied to them?
3. A Congressional resolution is not proof of Obama's birth place. This proves absolutely nothing.
4. A Wall Street Journal article is not a birth certificate. James Taranto has been a useful idiot on the birth certificate question from the beginning, and his opinion does not constitute persuasive proof of Obama's place of birth.
5. The ONLY item that will prove Obama's place of birth is the long-form birth certificate. I am willing to be convinced, but only by that item. There is sufficient doubt that one exists, and that doubt can only be overcome by releasing the official document. Any other discussion short of that release is mere rhetoric, rationalization or opinion and devoutly to be ignored.

"Why doesn't the president just say, 'Send me a copy right now?' Why doesn't Gibbs and Axelrod say, 'Let's just get this crappy story dead?' Why not do it? ... If it exists, why not put it out?"Matthews was joined by Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune and David Corn of Mother Jones, who both agreed with the call for Obama to publicly release the document and end the controversy.

N.H. must retain gay marriage
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeN.H. must retain gay marriage | SeacoastOnline.com: "It should come as no surprise that opponents of the New Hampshire same-sex marriage law have filed legislation to repeal it. Such a move was expected — especially now that the N.H. House and Senate have Republican majorities.
The law was passed to much fanfare in June 2009, setting the stage for gay and lesbian citizens of the state to marry starting Jan. 1, 2010. Since then, said former state representative and bill sponsor Jim Splaine of Portsmouth, about 3,000 same-sex couples have wed."

Boycotting CPAC Over the Presence of Gay Conservatives
CPAC, or the Conservative Political Action Conference, is scheduled for February in Washington, D.C. However, a gay conservative organization, GOProud, has become a co-sponsor of CPAC. This has resulted in some socially conservative organizations boycotting the CPAC conference for 2011.
To those boycotting organizations, I have a simple message: grow up.
People who are gay are born that way and can't help it. They don't become gay merely for the purpose of pissing you off. It is a question of biology, not ideology; the latter can be changed with persuasion but the former cannot. The social conservatives who are so adamantly hostile to gay conservatives seem to operate under this erroneous assumption: you could be straight if you really wanted to be.
Further, ostracizing gays and treating them like lepers will absolutely NOT turn them into heterosexuals. This doesn't mean you have to approve of gay marriage or men wearing dresses to social events (I don't), or public displays of gay intimacy (barf), or gays in the military, where there may be sound reasons for your disapproval (e.g., its effects on military morale and cohesion).
However, there are some very good conservatives who happen to be gay. Tammy Bruce is one of them. GOProud believes in a lot of conservative principles that I support (with the exception of the repeal of DADT, which I opposed). Per Wikipedia:

GOProud's mission is to represent gay conservatives and their allies, emphasizing conservative principles such as limited government, individual liberty, and national defense over what are usually considered bedrock issues of gay politics such as same-sex marriage, criminalizing targeted violence against gays and lesbians, and recognition of sexual orientation as a protected civil rights class.Robert Stacy McCain has stated that you should never give your enemies a stick to beat you with. The so-called social conservatives boycotting CPAC are doing just that.
GOProud supports repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell,[5] promotes broader Second Amendment rights [6] and opposes a Federal amendment defining marriage. GOProud "focuses strictly on federal issues which means that, institutionally, they don't take a position on state policy issues like same sex marriage."[7]
Lawrence Auster Makes Sense on the Birther Issue
Lawrence Auster of View From the Right says Obama's birth certificate continues to be a problem for Obama and that the issue is not going away. Today he responded to a "birther" about what birthers believe, and separates the wheat from the chaff on what is important:
Unfortunately, there are some conservative bloggers who are played like a harp by the liberal media, and have jumped on the anti-birther bandwagon. The fact is, Obama has never released his actual birth certificate and until he does, this issue will not go away -- nor should it.
I've read this comment which must have taken you a while to write. I'm sorry, but I don't want to post it. My reason is this. By throwing out so many aspects of what "birthers" believe,--and some of these beliefs are plainly false, are contrary to U.S. law, and would add massive confusion to the issue, such as the belief that both a person's parents must be U.S. citizens in order for him to be a natural born citizen--you are inadvertently adding to the picture of a "birther" movement that is out of whack, irrational, and to be dismissed.Read it all here.
This is why it is counterproductive to the rational birther movement to bring in all kinds of theories about where Obama may have been born, who his father may have been, etc. Such theories make the birthers and their theories the focus of attention and the problem. By contrast, there is one issue that makes Obama the focus of attention and the problem: We the American people need to see Obama's birth certificate. Let us see it. Why has he refused to release it? This is the one solid, undeniable fact upon which the birthers stand, that Obama's birth certificate has not been released. Birthers who focus on this cannot not credibly be dismissed as nutcases. This is the issue that even some liberals are, despite themselves, and despite their belief that birthers are crazy anti-Obama haters, starting to recognize as a legitimate problem for Obama.
Unfortunately, there are some conservative bloggers who are played like a harp by the liberal media, and have jumped on the anti-birther bandwagon. The fact is, Obama has never released his actual birth certificate and until he does, this issue will not go away -- nor should it.

More Backlash Against the "Global Warming" Alarmists
Disgust among the populace seems to be growing as AGW alarmists blame the freezing weather on "global warming." There's a new article on the subject in Forbes today, "Hot Sensations vs Cold Facts" by Larry Bell. According to Bell, some of the claims of melting icebergs and rising sea levels are not based on actual observation, but on the notorious computer models that have proven highly dubious.
With the right "computer model," one could "prove" that the sky is falling. It's all in the programming and the assumptions fed into it. However, any contrary news that seems to rebut global warming is ignored by the mainstream press. Bell writes:
Meanwhile, a British meteorologist and global warming skeptic, one Piers Corbyn, went on Fox News to claim that more brutal winters are coming. Corbyn denounced the "failed science" of global warming and says the earth is actually in a cooling phase. An article in Mediaite states:

As 2010 draws to a close, do you remember hearing any good news from the mainstream media about climate? Like maybe a headline proclaiming "Record Low 2009 and 2010 Cyclonic Activity Reported: Global Warming Theorists Perplexed"? Or "NASA Studies Report Oceans Entering New Cooling Phase: Alarmists Fear Climate Science Budgets in Peril"? Or even anything bad that isn't blamed on anthropogenic (man-made) global warming--of course other than what is attributed to George W. Bush? (Conveniently, the term "AGW" covers both.)Read it all here.

Predicting in November that winter in Europe would be “exceptionally cold and snowy, like Hell frozen over at times,” Corbyn suggested we should sooner prepare for another Ice Age than worry about global warming. Corbyn believed global warming “is complete nonsense, it’s fiction, it comes from a cult ideology. There’s no science in there, no facts to back [it] up.” Furthermore, he disputed the underlying assumption of most scientists, arguing that higher carbon dioxide levels does not actually have the effect of increasing temperature, and instead global warming supporters “fiddle the facts to justify political attacks.”Read it all here.

True Love: Hugh Hefner, 84, to Wed Crystal Harris, 24
It was announced over Twitter that Hugh Hefner, 84 year-old perpetual adolescent, has given an engagement ring to Playmate Crystal Harris, 24. We have it from a good source that Hefner walkered himself into the room and gave Harris a big red lollipop -- the ring was embedded therein and Harris discovered it on the 23rd lick. "Ooooh, a ring," she squealed, as she dropped her Barbie Doll and danced a jig around the room. "Does it squirt water? Is it a magic decoding ring?" she asked.
The happy couple has much in common: Hefner remembers World War II and Crystal remembers last week. Hefner loves Benny Goodman and Big Band music while Crystal loves Hip Hop and Rap. Hefner is a fan of Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. Crystal is a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants.
What will this twosome do when they aren't having hot sex? Probably have deeply intellectual conversations about mysticism, quantum mechanics, federalism vs anti-federalism, string theory, parallel universes and the physics of black holes (the ones in space). Or maybe Hugh will just fall asleep while Crystal plays video games. Yeah, probably the latter.
Hugh baby, you made it to 84 and haven't yet figured it out: there's a big difference between a sex partner and a soul mate. At your age you should be far more concerned with the latter than the former. HINT: a soul mate is someone who would marry you even if you weren't filthy rich. Does Crystal really fit that definition?

Global Warming Is Freezing the Planet: or Why to Never Believe Liberals
Iced-Over by Global Warming |
No matter what happens, it always confirms their basic premise that the world is getting hotter. The weather turns cold and wet? It's global warming, they say. Weather turns hot? Global warming. No change? Global warming. More hurricanes? Global warming. No hurricanes? You guessed it.IBD has it right. There is no truth but that which furthers the revolution. All weather patterns and climate phenomena must be interpreted as "global warming."
The new meme out of the climate-statists is that the freezing weather is just a by-product of global warming. It changes nothing in their view: we must have a one-world government and it must have far-reaching power over industry, the private sector and the citizenry. Individual freedom, capitalism and prosperity all must be sacrificed to save the world from the impending doom of man-made global warming. Whether the impending doom actually exists or not is irrelevant. It is the goal that is important; AGW is just the latest excuse.

Feminisim: Ugly Lesbians Who Hate Men?
She Needn't Worry |
The truth is largely this: feminists hate men and seek to make it mutual. Their constant clamor about misogyny is just so much psychological projection, a transfer of their own attitudes onto the opposite gender whom they despise.
Years ago, early in my career, I was invited by a female colleague to see a one-woman play in San Francisco about Virgina Woolf. Woolf is a feminist icon and author who committed suicide sometime around the beginning of World War II. I was young and very naive. I figured that feminism must have legitimate complaints about, and solutions to, unfair discrimination against women. However, the NOW members who attended this one-woman play were generally lesbians who hated men, and that became obvious to me by the end of the play. From that day forth I discounted feminism and wished nothing more to do with it.
