Planned Parenthood head says “keep politics out of women’s health”
31 Mar 2012 10:57 am

Sometimes liberals say the funniest things!
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards spoke at Princeton University this week. The topic of her talk? “Keeping Politics out of Women’s Health.”
No, that’s not a misprint.
“The single biggest struggle is dealing with the politics of it all,” Richards said. “It’s the barrier that politics are putting ahead on the wellbeing on young people in this country and of women. Every time we take two steps forward, we take another step backwards. Partisan politics rather than public health interests are driving healthcare policy in America.”
Saying …

The Divergent Judicial Careers of Phillip Kwon and Elena Kagan
24 Mar 2012 10:35 am

NJ Democrats rejected Governor Chris Christie’s nomination of Phillip Kwon to the State Supreme Court. Why? Because he’s a Republican. And he’s on the staff of the Attorney General’s office.

Voting no, [State Senator Nia] Gill said nominees from the attorney general’s office typically present conflicts.
“I think it is imperative for the issues presented before the Supreme Court, from same-sex marriage, to affordable housing, to school funding, that the justice who sits on those cases cannot be part of the lawyers’ team or office that argued a position the year …

Fella’s Favorite Feminist Flubs Federalism, Feeds Family Fallacious Foolishness
17 Mar 2012 2:23 pm

Do you guys remember my favorite feminist? I came across her again while voting for Political Junkie Mom in the Top 25 Political Moms poll. (You should go vote for PJmom too!)
This week PunditMom explains the contraception debate to her 12-year-old daughter, who asks, “Mom, why don’t you and dad like Rick Santorum?”
And the answer is — because Rick Santorum wants to ban birth control.
Which of course is completely false. And in spreading this falsehood, PunditMom does her daughter a grave disservice. (Digression — even the idea of …

Shocker, Obama bundler and MF Global honcho Jon Corzine is unlikely to face criminal charges
3 Mar 2012 3:13 pm

Well the feds shuffled a few papers, peeked into a desk drawer or two at MF Global, and shockingly found nothing criminal with which to charge Jon Corzine, or anyone else. $1.2 billion dollars in customer money went poof! and federal investigators have been “unable to find a smoking gun.”
As if Eric Holder’s Injustice Department is feeling particularly motivated to look for one.
They say the money was lost due to “chaos and poor risk control systems.” In other words, simple incompetence. Yeah, the taxpayers of New Jersey can relate.
On …

Dharun Ravi on trial: Are you now or have you ever been anti-homosexual?
26 Feb 2012 4:49 pm

“Point of order!” What in fact is the point of putting Dharun Ravi on trial?
Middlesex County First Assistant Prosecutor Julia McClure is gunning for the Roy Cohn Lifetime Achievement Award. Oh sure, she’ll tell us she’s out to obtain “justice” for Tyler Joe Clementi McAllister, the homosexual Rutgers student who committed suicide by jumping off the Tallahatchee George Washington Bridge.
But what she’s really doing is ferreting out anti-homosexual thought-crime. And Ravi’s defense is reduced to producing witnesses who’ll attest that “he didn’t have an issue with homosexuals and in …

The state of NJ wants to be your landlord
19 Feb 2012 10:25 am

I saw this doozy earlier in the week and forgot to blog about it until a friend emailed last night, “can you believe it?” Sadly yes, I can believe just about anything when it comes to progressive do-gooders looking to save the world.
Some New Jersey politicians want to buy up foreclosed properties and turn them into “affordable housing.”

Two senior Democrats today outlined a measure to let municipalities and a state corporation buy foreclosed homes and offer them to low- and moderate-income residents in an effort to increase the supply …

Mitt Romney, the liberal Democrat’s choice for president
18 Dec 2011 5:26 pm

It was Christmas Holiday party weekend in the neighborhood. Interestingly several folks approached me to say essentially the same thing — “Will you guys* please stop screwing around and just nominate Mitt Romney. Otherwise we’ll be forced to vote for Obama again.”
*I’m the token Republican in a sea of blue state leftists, so naturally they think I have some kind of direct pipeline to either GOP or Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Headquarters, or something. If only they knew…
Almost unanimously they don’t like Obama. The reasons vary (alas some even feel …

Yowzah, I scored big bucks from the Ticketmaster class action lawsuit!
3 Dec 2011 8:23 pm

Today must be my lucky day. In my email was an Official Notice, from some lawyers I’d never heard of, announcing with great fanfare the favorable settlement of a class-action lawsuit brought on my behalf against Ticketmaster.
Apparently it’s a Real Thing, because it made the news.
Anyway, I’m entitled to some coupons! For a dollar and fifty cents each! Which I can use if I decide to buy more tickets from Ticketmaster sometime in the next 4 years.
I shouldn’t get too excited though, I think I bought 2 (or …

Their Arab brothers should fund Palestinian Hamasistan, not us
1 Oct 2011 7:40 pm

Gee, it’s about time.
The United States Congress has blocked nearly $200m in aid for the Palestinians, threatening projects such as food aid, health care, and support for efforts to build a functioning state.
Yeah, because only the United States can fund “food aid” and “health care” for terrorist monsters! Hamas has plenty of Arab brothers, flush with petrodollars. I’m sure somebody else can pick up the slack. If the actual goal is to build a “functioning state.”
But guess what? Here’s a little fact the New York Times won’t mention. The …

Obama’s Midas Touch on display in Wayne, NJ
4 Sep 2011 11:00 pm

The Obama 2012 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bus Tour floated into Wayne, NJ today and at least one star-struck homeowner is high on Hopium:
“He reached out to shake my hand. I thought that was pretty cool,” said Ron Hacker, 60, an out-of-work carpenter. “It was pretty nice of him to come down. He.s got my vote.”
Translation:
I’m unemployed.
My house destroyed.
But Obama touched me.
My vote is deployed.
Don’t ever wash that hand Ron, or the mojo will be gone, gone, gone.
I gotta ask. Did you pet the magic unicorn Ron? Because if …

OK kids, it’s time once again to play “Name That Party!”
31 Jul 2011 12:10 pm

A Newark, NJ “campaign worker” pled guilty to election fraud on Friday. Angel Colon admitted submitting fraudulent absentee and messenger ballots on behalf of State Senator Teresa Ruiz in 2007.
Ruiz won the election.
Now here’s the test. Go read the AP story.
Did you notice any mention of Colon’s or Ruiz’s political party affiliation? No? Gee you’d think that fact would be relevent, right?
And it would be damn relevent to our liberal media, if either of the politicians in question was a Republican. But election fraud by Democrats in Essex County? …

Oh great, Green Power will screw up the electrical grid and make our clocks run fast
25 Jun 2011 8:18 pm

Starting next month the clock on your oven will probably be wrong. No, it won’t be broken, but the electric current it relies on to count the minutes will start deviating from the tried and true standard of 60 cycles per second.

Since 1930, electric clocks have kept time based on the rate of the electrical current that powers them. If the current slips off its usual rate, clocks run a little fast or slow. Power companies now take steps to correct it and keep the frequency of …

NJ high school student challenges Rep. Michele Bachmann to a duel
14 May 2011 2:41 pm

Amy Myers is a tenth grader in Cherry Hill, NJ. She labels herself as “a typical high school student.” (More on that later.)
Michele Bachmann is the distinguished Congresswoman from the 6th district of Minnesota. She is a founding member of the House Tea Party Caucus and is being strongly urged to consider a run for the presidency.
Amy Myers doesn’t much like Michele Bachmann. In fact one could say that her “typical” high school has infused her with an arrogance tinged by delusions of grandeur. For …

Rutgers student pleads guilty to ThoughtCrime
7 May 2011 9:02 pm

So now our state is prosecuting ThoughtCrime. Under penalty of incarceration Rutgers student Molly Wei will enter a re-education camp for indoctrination into “alternate lifestyles.” The State will wash away all of her improper thoughts. No doubt she will emerge a good little automaton eager to do the bidding of her INGSOC masters.
And boy oh boy do they have plans for her. Ms. Wei will ensure that another Rutgers student, Dharun Ravi, is locked up for all eternity. The verdict has already …

FCC net neutrality mavens impose forced wireless broadband sharing
10 Apr 2011 11:42 am

Maybe now that Congress is done haggling over miniscule budget cuts they can return their attention to the Obama Administration’s net neutrality power grab. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is hell-bent on redistributing the networks built by AT&T and Verizon to every penny ante bit player who comes along.
Why build your own wireless network when you can get Socialists R Us to force the existing networks to carry your traffic for you? The FCC cleverly calls it “equal access” but it’s anything but equal. So now we …

In NJ Redistricting fight the people got hosed
3 Apr 2011 1:56 pm

It’s the kind of inside baseball political battle that cures most people’s insomnia � the decennial redrawing of NJ’s legislative districts. But the stakes couldn’t be higher because shifting some lines on a map can have far-reaching consequences for the future of our state. Who’s in, and who’s not; which towns are sliced and diced, and which ones remain intact.
The Democrats “won” this battle. Purportedly impartial mediator Alan Rosenthal facilitated the charade of soliciting input from far and wide and then did exactly what he did …

NJ Democrat pushing pension reform exploited double-dip loophole
2 Apr 2011 5:18 pm

I don’t know which is funnier.
A prominent NJ Democrat caught red-handed exploiting a loophole he’s pushing to eliminate, or�
Public employee unions aiming their ire and indignation at the Democratic Party hands that feed them because of it.

State’s largest police union calls for Essex County Executive Joe DiVincenzo to resign
The state’s largest police union called on Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. to resign today in the wake of revelations that he is receiving a salary and a pension for the same job.
“This is unbelievable, the …

It’s about time New Jersey deregulated all telephone and cable TV services
13 Mar 2011 5:47 pm

In a little over a week the NJ State Senate will vote on a bill to eliminate century-old regulations on telephone and cable television companies. It has already passed in the Assembly, by 66 – 7. The “Market Competition and Consumer Choice Act” (SB 2664) removes requirements for the Board of Public Utilities to micromanage every telecom business decision. Thanks to archaic rules established back when Marconi was an apprentice lineman the BPU has to approve even the smallest change to any …

Planned Parenthood redefines “Be Prepared” for the Girl Scouts
6 Mar 2011 9:15 pm

Who was that yo-yo who said we need to stop focusing on social issues? Yeah thanks Mitch Daniels, I appreciate the advice. Too bad it’s wrong.
Today is Girl Scout Sunday. Churches across America are celebrating the accomplishments of our fine young women and their scout leaders. I had the honor of presenting the Mother of God Medal to Sophie during Mass. Eight Brownies in her troop worked very hard with Monsignor Desmond to earn this award. I know, because I was …

TSA wants your DNA
26 Feb 2011 4:35 pm

I’ll bet you thought the TSA’s “enhanced” patdown procedures could not possibly get more invasive. Think again. Beginning this summer TSA will start collecting travelers’ DNA.
According to a report from The Daily the Department of Homeland Security plans to deploy portable DNA scanners at U.S. points of entry. They’re about the size of a desktop printer and can produce lab-quality DNA screenings in about an hour. So in addition to the full-body scanners and enhanced patdowns we’ll have to stand …
