Into what alternate dimension have I fallen?

From The Hill:

Repeal of sodomy, bestiality ban sparks fight on Defense bill

By Jeremy Herb – 12/09/11 01:53 PM ET

As the final Defense authorization bill gets hammered out in conference committee, one surprising issue is riling both social conservatives and animal rights activists: the repeal of a ban on sodomy and bestiality.

The Senate bill, which was passed last week, removed an article from the Uniform Code of Military Justice stating “unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy.”

There are moments when I can do nothing more than shake my head in wonder.

This is one of those times.

And so says Barack Hussein Obama.

Yet, in truth, the worst economy since the Great Depression was INHERITED by Ronald Wilson Reagan.

From James Earl Carter, Jr.

With the billions and BILLIONS of dollars that Our Mr BHO has expended, he has been proven to be an abject failure.

Where is the RELIEF?

Where is the readjustment?

Where is the HOPE and CHANGE?

Frankly: you know the answer, don’t you?

Meaning, I suppose, that if you believe you really didn’t intend to lie, then it’s not truly a lie. I guess it gets down to what the meaning of is, is — ?

From The Weekly Standard:

This morning on Capitol Hill, Attorney General Eric Holder was asked whether he lied to Congress about the Fast & Furious gun-running scandal:

Rep. James Sensenbrenner asked Holder: “Tell me what’s the difference between lying and misleading Congress, in this context?”

Holder’s response is a bit Clintonian. “Well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that would be considered perjury or a lie,” Holder said. “The information that was provided by the February 4th letter was gleaned by the people who drafted the letter after they interacted with people who they thought were in the best position to have the information.”

Also, from The Washington Examiner:

Attorney General Eric Holder denied that anybody at the Department of Justice lied about the Fast and Furious program that allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug lords, even though he admitted that the DOJ sent inaccurate information to Congress.

Last week, the DOJ took the rare step of formally withdrawing a letter it sent to Congress in February that falsely claimed the program being executed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives did not allow guns to “walk” into Mexico.

Lying to Congress is a federal felony, Mr Holder.

This stinks, Mr Holder. It stinks and Mr Obama’s conspicuous silence in the entire affair bespeaks volumes. It’s absolutely nothing about checking the melanin at the door.

P.S.
Apologies all around with regard to lack of posting. The internet at my house is down, at least until I can possibly upgrade with potential DSL. Yes, yes, whilst the rest of you are actually in the 21st century, I’m mostly back with tin cans, piano wire and chewing gum.

And apparently throwing his support to Newt Gingrich.

Barney Frank shall be remembered as the nation’s leading protector of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before their fall.

For years Barney helped block meaningful reform of the mortgage giants while pushing an “affordable housing” agenda that helped to enlarge the subprime mortgage industry.

“I do think I do not want the same kind of focus on safety and soundness that we have in OCC [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency] and OTS [Office of Thrift Supervision],” Mr. Frank said on September 25, 2003, in one of his many legendary rhetorical hits. “I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.”
