Stupid Goys and Boys With Toys

Looks like you can't keep an ignorant racist liberal down.  In the JPost, Alan Dershowitz writes about a bunch of ignorant idiots at Hampshire College, in Amherst Massachusetts,  who have a little racist group of Israel bashers.  They successfully petitioned the College's Board of Trustees to divest from companies that support the Jewish state.  No doubt this is because they feel Israel's program of herding Palestinians into cattle cars, gas chambers, and rendering their fat into soap, their skin into lamp shades, and their hair into blankets...wait...that was the Nazis...the Israelis are the idiots who keep delivering aid into Gaza that ends up in the hands of people determined to kill them, and exercise a great deal of restraint while conducting military operations in order to protect civilian lives.  I can see how an ignorant liberal teenager who spends most of their time pulling bong hits and watching reruns of Ren and Stimpy could confuse the two.

Notable supporters of the Goycott include Noam "I hate myself for being Jewish" Chomsky, racist Green Party idiot Cynthia McKinney, Rashid Khalidi, Howard Zinn, and former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters.  With support like that it is no wonder the Ignorant Students for Hating Jews at Hampshire are feeling so proud of themselves.

Now that these morons have accomplished their goal, much to the glee of members of the faculty (Chomskyites, self-proclaimed anarchists, and liberal lobotomy victims comprise much of the faculty at Pampshire...most of whom no doubt jizzed buckets when Pampers "won" the election), the first college to actually commit to such a divestment, they are calling on other colleges to follow suit.

See, here's the thing kids.  What you morons don't know is that Pampshire's endowment is one of the smallest in the country.  The amount of money it invests in those companies is small potatoes and will not be missed by those companies, or Israel for that matter.  Your insignificantly puny school is also part of a consortium of colleges in the area that I suspect will not be divesting from Israel as they are not so prone to ignorance and liberal judeophobia as Hampshire.  Here's another newsflash: you kids are nothing but a bunch of fucking hypocrite douchebags.  I guess urging your school to divest from companies dealing with genocidal governments like Sudan, or brutal dictatorships like North Korea was never on the table because they aren't Jewish states.  Thank you for so admirably demonstrating liberal judeophobia and liberal hypocrisy.  You are a model of what every American should not want to be.  Dershowitz quotes Tom Friedman in his column.  I think it's worth reproducing here:

"Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vial. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanctions - out of proportion to any other party in the Middle East - is anti-Semitic and not saying so is dishonest."

My suggestion to the racists at Hampshire is this: go back to your dorms, whip out your bongs, and go back to sleep.  When you wake up the cause du jour will be saving the Texas Prairie Chicken.

Though Dershowitz's concern over whether this will spark a wave of divestment is valid, I suspect that this will be much ado about nothing.  I do encourage the Jewish students of Hampshire, and the other colleges of the consortium, to stand up to these racists.

Here's an instructional video to help you identify more companies and products to boycott.  When you give up your computers then we'll see how dedicated you Hampshire pricks really are.

Don't ally yourselves with idiots.  Do not support Hampshire College.  In fact, here's the email address of the organization that pushed for "divestment."  Why not email them, give them a piece of your mind, and send along a link to the above video.  I did.  And it felt really good.

In other news, it looks like a French and British submarine accidently collided.  Humans are so fucking smart.  They've made underwater death ships so effectively hidden from sonar that they can't see each other anymore.  Maybe that's what Gandhi meant when he said an eye for an eye makes the whole world stupid.  Luckily, there were no fatalities or radiation leaks, at least none that the British and French governments are willing to report.  I suspect that people are now talking about the fact that allied nations should have some kind of transponder system so they can detect each other and avoid collisions while remaining hidden from their enemies like the Russians, and the Walrus.  Nah, they're probably talking about intalling bumpers and airbags.

The Soft Parade

While butt-faced douchebags like No-Dick Morris speculate that Secretary Clinton is being marginalized by the Lincoln Jr. Jr. administration by his restructuring of the NSC, the appointment of special envoys to the Middle East and Pakistan, and the presence of Samantha "The Monster" Power in the NSC, I would say that Secretary Clinton is engaged in exactly the kind of work she told King Pampers she would undertake; engaging the governments of foreign powers to make progress in open, democratic elections, advancing the cause of human rights, and undertaking expanded development programs in the Third World.

Here's an excerpt from her speech at the Asia Society on the 13th:

So I leave for Asia ready to deliver a message about America’s desire for more rigorous and persistent commitment and engagement, ready to work with leaders in Asia to resolve the economic crisis that threatens the Pacific as much as any other region, ready to strengthen our historic partnerships and alliances while developing deeper bonds with all nations, ready to help prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Asia, ready to expand our combined efforts on 21st century challenges like climate change and clean energy, pandemics, and income inequality.

...we are also ready to reach beyond ministerial buildings and official meeting halls, as important as those are. We’re ready to engage civil society to strengthen the foundations needed to support good governance, free elections, and a free press, wider educational opportunities, stronger healthcare systems, religious tolerance, and human rights.

In the grand scheme of things, this is the most important work being done to attempt to secure the Safety and Happiness of the American people.  A free, educated, healthy, and environmentally sound global community, where governments' end being the happiness of society (with the vision of what that happiness entails emanating from the people, not from oligarchical criminals who can't even get their cabinet installed because of their nominees' corruption), is ultimately the best way to ensure economic growth, nullify the tactics of terrorism, and preserve our liberty.  Secretary Clinton, succinct and thorough as usual, maps the path for us.  Will Juan Lincoln Peron Jr. Jr. allow her to do her job?  That remains to be seen.  

It is vital that this work must also be accomplished at home, as well as abroad.  Unfortunately, it seems that currently there is no one in our Congress, or the White House, that is actually engaged in any activity that cultivates the happiness of our society.  So far the Braying Ass Party has only served to serve itself, which translates into efforts that further destroy our civil liberties, eliminate privacy, corrupt our elections, bankrupt our children, and open the door for Martin Peron Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr. to be king of America until we eat our own brains.

And make no mistake, the Republican opposition does not stem from some desire to protect us from the Braying Ass's destructive policies.  They are simply gambling on Braying Ass failure as a means of propelling themselves back into the majority so that they can control the process of curtailing our civil liberties, and the flow of the money.

So it looks like there are two foreign policy trees in our government.  The diplomatic game playing that yields precious little, is more for show, and most likely to cause the eruption of violent action between nations, is in the hands of people like Joe "7-11" Biden, Samantha "The Monster" Power, and ultimately Juan Martin Luther Peron Lincoln Jr. Jr.   The other is the hands of Secretary Clinton, and ultimately Juan Martin Luther Peron Lincoln Jr. Jr.  

Take a guess in which one I am placing any shred of optimism.

I hope that the passage of the Black Widowulus package has woken up Americans to the cold hard truth:  You cannot petition the lords of Washington with prayer.  Phone calls, petitions, letters...these things accomplish nothing.  Your government is not listening to you.  Your government is not interested in how you live, what you think, what you desire, or how you feel.  Your government does not care.  Stop telling yourself that if you just make one more phone call to your legislators that it will make a difference.  It will not.  You are wasting your time.  

It's time for us to disengage.  It's time for us to encamp, generate solutions, and put them into effect, whether our government approves or not.  This is our republic, not theirs.  They serve us.  We are not meant to serve them.  They serve by our consent.  The majority of Americans apparently have not figured that out yet.

I remember the people of Poland, Ukraine, the youth of Beijing, standing up to their leaders in the name of Liberty.  Perhaps it will take the rising of American totalitarianism to wake people up to remember how much they value their freedom.  

There's this thing called the Bill of Rights.  It's first article says something about Congress being prohibited from impinging on our right to petition the Government for a "redress of grievances," (we get to demand that the government correct actions it has taken that have been against our interests.  I personally think the best way they could get that ball rolling would be for the entire Congress to resign, with new elections held.  Only citizens who have not previously held, or are currently holding office, and who are not related to, or employed by current office holders, may run in these elections).

That would be a fine start.

Who will give us soft asylum?

The Birds

We had a little treat today.  The cedar waxwings have arrived.  These migrating birds are passing through town, feasting on the ripened winter berries.  We were very pleased to see our little fruit eaters.  Apparently the waxwings are at risk for alcohol poisoning from eating too much fermented fruit.  I suppose every flock ends up encountering problems with drinking and flying.  But I bet they don't bonk their heads while getting into their helicopters.

 Here's a cool fact, the coloring on the tips of the waxwing's tail feathers depends on what kind of berries they are eating at the time their tail feathers are coming in.  If someone pantsed Pampers we'd know what color you get from eating doucheberries.

American? Idiot

In my continuing quest to mock Resident Pampers I decided to gurgle "Obama is an Idiot," and see what came up.  Gurgle says that there are about 12,300,000 results.  Twelve million, three hundred thousand results for "Obama is an idiot."  Here are four.

Physical Comedy Is Still The Best

Here's some great footage of Resident Lincoln Jr. Jr.  As you can see, he's got the Marine One stroll down.  Walking seems to be good; no stumbling...the obligatory wave is okay (sure he has the gait of someone not used to walking in this level of gravity (what is the g force of Planet A$$hat anyway?).  His salute appears casual and weak.  That's a Marine Mr. Resident.  Give him a decent salute.  You ought to pause and look him in the face.  Then it's up the stairs...wave...doh!

If we had elected a shorter President perhaps this national embarrassment could have been avoided.  At least he has enough sense not to wear the stove pipe hat while helicoptering.

Martin Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr. Plan Bombs

The AP (Associated Pampers) is reporting the drop of world wide stock markets amid growing skepticism that King Pampers' Douchulus Plan and TARP Carp is going to do one blessed thing to help stimulate the world's largest, and most vital economy.  Why are they so down in the dumps?  Because they know it's a lot of fucking bullshit that isn't going to work.  Wow, we've only been screaming about this since the first TARP plan was announced.

Gosh gee, I wish there was someone out there who had a plan to rescue the toxic mortgage mess, keep people in their homes, and free up the credit lines so banks would start lending money again and the bucks would flow.  Oh wait...someone did.  She used to be the Junior Senator from New York.  She had this crazy fucked up notion that if we brought back the Home Owners Loan Corporation that was created under FDR, a plan of proven success that actually generated a profit, then we could turn this whole thing around.  Unfortunately, our Congress, and the White House were and are occupied by a bunch of fucking criminals whose only interest is tanking our economy and driving up such huge deficits and debt that the social safety net is destroyed, and government's only functions will be rewarding the rich and waging war.

But Shtuey, that was the Republican agenda initiated by Ronald Reagan.  Martin Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr. is a Democrat.

And now you know that both parties are corrupt, beyond redemption, and not interested in whether you live or die.  Sucks doesn't it?  Boy, I sure am glad that thousands of people are taking to the streets to protest what is in effect the financial gang rape of every tax payer in the country.  Oh why bother.  Just keep calling your legislators.  I'm sure that will help.

And what did we hear from Resident Lincoln Jr. Jr. today?  That we should be more like Lincoln of course.  Every time this scumbag opens his mouth I want to vomit.  This, above all things, is why I wanted him to lose.  Now we have to endure an endless stream of fucking bullshit from that lying mouth, with that preacher crap to boot.  And all from the pen of that douchefaceasshole Jon Favreau.  This is like some sick fucking nightmare, all the more fucked up because right now I wish this fuck face was still in the White House.

And in his ever growing vomitous campaign to convince us that he is in fact Lincoln, Martin Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr. announced that he is emancipating the slaves.

Thoughts On Government: Part IV

There is much a do about the three Republican Senators who broke ranks to vote for Douchulus: Olympia Snowe (Me.), Susan Collins (Me.) and Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter (Pa.).  They are being tarred as traitors to their party and the nation by Republicans, and patriots by the Left.  What's the big deal?  They are members of one corrupt party voting for the continued raping of the citizenry by the other party.  A scumbag is a scumbag, I don't care how they vote.  We have collectively sat on our hands while our corrupt government destroys our civil liberties, mortgages our healthcare, sucks the social safety net into oblivion, and sends our men and women to die for Halliburton's no-bid contracts.  The Democrats gave us the Community Reinvestment Act which opened the door for the destruction of our financial systems.  The Republicans gave us warrantless wire tapping and the suspension of habeas corpus.  This is essentially like being Palestinian and having to choose between Hamas and Fatah, only the Democrats and Republicans don't threaten to kill your family if you don't vote for them (at least not yet).  Stop being doormats for these corrupt butt faced liars and thieves.  This only happens because you let it.  You can blame the system.  You can blame Corporate America.  You can blame Santa Claus for all I care.  Bottom line is that we only have ourselves to blame for taking it.

Here is the final portion of Adams' Thoughts on Government.  

The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society depend so much upon an upright and skillful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that. The judges, therefore, should be always men of learning and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention. Their minds should not be distracted with jarring interests; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men. To these ends, they should hold estates for life in their offices; or, in other words, their commissions should be during good behavior, and their salaries ascertained and established by law. For misbehavior, the grand inquest of the colony, the house of representatives, should impeach them before the governor and council, where they should have time and opportunity to make their defence; but, if convicted, should be removed from their offices, and subjected to such other punishment as shall be thought proper.

A militia law, requiring all men, or with very few exceptions besides cases of conscience, to be provided with arms and ammunition, to be trained at certain seasons; and requiring counties, towns, or other small districts, to be provided with public stocks of ammunition and entrenching utensils, and with some settled plans for transporting provisions after the militia, when marched to defend their country against sudden invasions; and requiring certain districts to be provided with field-pieces, companies of matrosses, and perhaps some regiments of light-horse, is always a wise institution, and, in the present circumstances of our country, indispensable.

Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant.

The very mention of sumptuary laws will excite a smile. Whether our countrymen have wisdom and virtue enough to submit to them, I know not; but the happiness of the people might be greatly promoted by them, and a revenue saved sufficient to carry on this war forever. Frugality is a great revenue, besides curing us of vanities, levities, and fopperies, which are real antidotes to all great, manly, and warlike virtues.

But must not all commissions run in the name of a king? No. Why may they not as well run thus, "The colony of to A. B. greeting," and be tested by the governor?

Why may not writs, instead of running in the name of the king, run thus, "The colony of to the sheriff," &c., and be tested by the chief justice?

Why may not indictments conclude, "against the peace of the colony of and the dignity of the same?"

A constitution founded on these principles introduces know ledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal. You will find among them some elegance, perhaps, but more solidity; a little pleasure, but a great deal of business; some politeness, but more civility. If you compare such a country with the regions of domination, whether monarchical or aristocratical, you will fancy yourself in Arcadia or Elysium.

If the colonies should assume governments separately, they should be left entirely to their own choice of the forms; and if a continental constitution should be formed, it should be a congress, containing a fair and adequate representation of the colonies, and its authority should sacredly be confined to these cases, namely, war, trade, disputes between colony and colony, the post office, and the unappropriated lands of the crown, as they used to be called.

These colonies, under such forms of government, and in such a union, would be unconquerable by all the monarchies of Europe.

You and I, my dear friend, have been sent into life at a time when the greatest lawgivers of antiquity would have wished to live. How few of the human race have ever enjoyed an opportunity of making an election of government, more than of air, soil, or climate, for themselves or their children! When, before the present epocha, had three millions of people full power and a fair opportunity to form and establish the wisest and happiest government that human wisdom can contrive? I hope you will avail yourself and your country of that extensive learning and indefatigable industry which you possess, to assist her in the formation of the happiest governments and the best character of a great people. For myself, I must beg you to keep my name out of sight; for this feeble attempt, if it should be known to be mine, would oblige me to apply to myself those lines of the immortal John Milton, in one of his sonnets:--

"I did but prompt the age to quit their clogs
By the known rules of ancient liberty,
When straight a barbarous noise environs me
Of owls and cuckoos, asses, apes, and dogs."

Here's Another Fine Mess You've Gotten Me Into

Once again the Israeli electorate is screwing the pooch with its ludicrous system, and ideological indecision.

As it stands, Tzipi Livni, the spineless-mass inheritor of the dingdong Kadima Party is sitting on top of a 1 seat majority in the Knesset.  Bibi "I Was a Cheltenham Shoe Salesman" Netanyahu's Likud Party has 27 seats.  The Labor Party only has 13 seats.

Here's the rub.  The right wing parties (Likud, Israel Beitanu, and Shas) have the largest political presence in the Knesset.  Those three parties control 71 seats.  What does this mean?  In the convoluted world of Israeli parliamentary structure it means shitstorm.  

Because Israel has more political parties than Imelda Marcos has shoes (is she still alive?), no single party every receives enough votes to gain a controlling share of the seats in the Knesset.  It is usually up to the party who wins the most mandates on election day to form a coalition bloc that allows them to form a government.  With Likud only 1 seat down at present it may be that the right wing bands together.  If this is the case, Livni would have to cobble together a coalition of minor parties (imagine trying to get 75 Jews to agree on one thing, then try getting them to do that 100 times...if the question were whether the schnitzel was too dry you might have some luck, but this is politics.  In this regard, for every 3 people there are 4 opinions.).  

Tzipi Livni will now attempt a combination of ass kissing, bribery, and blackmail, to woo Avigdor Lieberman and Israel Beitanu's 15 mandates to her side.  If he does you can bet it was blackmail that got him there.  You see, it's very popular in Israeli politics to threaten rivals with prosecution for various crimes if they don't comply (a major reason why Ariel Sharon pushed withdrawal from Gaza and formed the Kadima party in the first place).  I can see no other reason for a man who wants Israeli Arabs (and Jews for that matter) to make loyalty oaths to the Jewish State, or have their citizenship revoked, being demoted to resident status, would join a coalition government with a corrupt party that has negotiations over the Golan Heights on the table, and balked on finishing off Hamas during Operation Cast Lead (toppling Hamas is one of Lieberman's top priorities, same for Netanyahu).

But this presents a conundrum for Bibi as well.  He could probably very easily form a coalition with IB and Shas.  But compared to IB and Shas Likud looks like lefty Labor in some respects (are you confused yet?).  In that coalition Bibi would be controlling a right wing coalition from its left.  

Bottom line is this.  Livni and Kadima may walk away with the most seats of any one party.  But it could be Lieberman who holds all the cards and who would be the one deciding Israel's political future for the next term.  

The fly in the ointment for Livni is that the army's ballot results aren't counted, at least I haven't heard they were tabulated yet.  It's possible Likud could pick up a seat.  Certainly Netanyahu has the easier path to forming a coalition than Kadima.  This could come down to Israeli All-Star wrestling: Livni v Bibi in the steel cage.  Ironically, though she is a spineless weather vane like Olmert, I think she'd take Bibi down.  Of course, she'll take Israel down with her.

But let's not count out Likud.  Bibi knows how to bust balls, and could very well end up in the Prime Minister's chair when the smoke clears.  Right now this is just too close to call.  The only thing we know for certain is that Labor, under Ehud Barak, is joining the opposition to whomever comes out ahead.  This hurts Livni's chances for political survival.  Labor's 13 seats would have gone a long way, but Kadima is a rudderless ship and Barak knows it.  When in doubt, choose contrarianism.

I cannot say which way this will go at the moment.  If Livni can't get the majority coalition she's screwed.  As usual, we probably won't know who will be running the Knesset for possibly a month.  In the meantime, I suggest making some hummus, tahini, falafel, and a some ful.  This is gonna be interesting.  What does seem clear is that the majority of Israelis voted for right wing parties.  They want an end to the terror kleptocracies in the West Bank and Gaza.  They are tired of rockets and suicide bombs, and they know that giving up land for peace with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority is a dead end (dead being the operative word).

I guess Americans can take comfort in the fact that we only get fucked by two parties instead of twenty thousand.

Thoughts On Government: Part III

So the night we returned to town we were driving along the freeway and saw a car with a sticker on saying "History is Our Story."  The O's were of course that sickening fascist O.  We both groaned.  There are apparently plenty ratfucker zombies out there who still think the black Blago is going to change Washington and make it work for the people, and all the other bullshit lies he told.

So what's the thrust here?  His story is our story?  I got news for you asswipes.  Most people did not get to go to privileged private schools and Ivy League schools.  Most of us did not serial rape democratic process to gain elected office, and then use each position to elevate ourselves to the next one.  What will it take before the zombies wake up and realize that the shit my dog took in my yard is doing a better job managing our economy than Martin Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr?

Time and again our founders warned us what would happen if the people did not educate themselves regarding democratic process and principle, the machinations of their republic, and the character of those aspiring to run it.  Congratulations America for proving them right.  You elected a nitwit that you know nothing about, and swoon over his historic nature.  Here's a news flash assholes; electing a corrupt lying sack because he's half Black is not historic.  It's fucking stupid.  If John Adams came back from the dead I would personally drive him to the home of each of the 67 million idiots who voted for Pampers so he could punch each one of you in the stomach.

And for those of you still laboring under the misguided notion that Congress cares, Congress listens, Congress is insuring your safety and happiness, blah blah blah...one need only look at the fact that the Senate voted to pass Douchulus, despite the fact that overwhelming numbers of us are against it. Are you ready to move to dissolve this Congress yet? Let me know when you're off the fence. Ask yourself what it will take to get you pissed off enough about the criminality of Congress, and the Executive for that matter, to actually do something. Will your house have to be seized? Your child drafted? Your assets frozen? What??? It's not as if you're not paying attention.

Speaking of being punched in the stomach by John Adams, here's part 3 of Adams' Thoughts On Government.  He's going to be getting into the nitty gritty of the structure so read carefully.  See anything you like?  We're going to have to overhaul the bullshit we have now so take a look and see what you think.

A representation of the people in one assembly being obtained, a question arises, whether all the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, shall be left in this body? I think a people cannot be long free, nor ever happy, whose government is in one assembly. My reasons for this opinion are as follow:--

1. A single assembly is liable to all the vices, follies, and frailties of an individual; subject to fits of humor, starts of passion, flights of enthusiasm, partialities, or prejudice, and consequently productive of hasty results and absurd judgments. And all these errors ought to be corrected and defects supplied by some controlling power.

2. A single assembly is apt to grow ambitious, and after a time will not hesitate to vote itself perpetual. This was one fault of the Long Parliament; but more remarkably of Holland, whose assembly first voted themselves from annual to septennial, then for life, and after a course of years, that all vacancies happening by death or otherwise, should be filled by themselves, without any application to constituents at all.

3. A representative assembly, although extremely well qualified, and absolutely necessary, as a branch of the legislative, is unfit to exercise the executive power, for want of two essential properties, secrecy and despatch.

4. A representative assembly is still less qualified for the judicial power, because it is too numerous, too slow, and too little skilled in the laws.

5. Because a single assembly, possessed of all the powers of government, would make arbitrary laws for their own interest, execute all laws arbitrarily for their own interest, and adjudge all controversies in their own favor. [Blog note: President Adams, looks like it can happen with a bi-cameral legislature as well...please come back and help put the genie back in the bottle.]

But shall the whole power of legislation rest in one assembly? Most of the foregoing reasons apply equally to prove that the legislative power ought to be more complex; to which we may add, that if the legislative power is wholly in one assembly, and the executive in another, or in a single person, these two powers will oppose and encroach upon each other, until the contest shall end in war, and the whole power, legislative and executive, be usurped by the strongest.

The judicial power, in such case, could not mediate, or hold the balance between the two contending powers, because the legislative would undermine it. And this shows the necessity, too, of giving the executive power a negative upon the legislative, otherwise this will be continually encroaching upon that.

To avoid these dangers, let a distinct assembly be constituted, as a mediator between the two extreme branches of the legislature, that which represents the people, and that which is vested with the executive power.

Let the representative assembly then elect by ballot, from among themselves or their constituents, or both, a distinct assembly, which, for the sake of perspicuity, we will call a council. It may consist of any number you please, say twenty or thirty, and should have a free and independent exercise of its judgment, and consequently a negative voice in the legislature.

These two bodies, thus constituted, and made integral parts of the legislature, let them unite, and by joint ballot choose a governor, who, after being stripped of most of those badges of domination, called prerogatives, should have a free and independent exercise of his judgment, and be made also an integral part of the legislature. This, I know, is liable to objections; and, if you please, you may make him only president of the council, as in Connecticut. But as the governor is to be invested with the executive power, with consent of council, I think he ought to have a negative upon the legislative. If he is annually elective, as he ought to be, he will always have so much reverence and affection for the people, their representatives and counsellors, that, although you give him an independent exercise of his judgment, he will seldom use it in opposition to the two houses, except in cases the public utility of which would be conspicuous; and some such cases would happen.

In the present exigency of American affairs, when, by an act of Parliament, we are put out of the royal protection, and consequently discharged from our allegiance, and it has become necessary to assume government for our immediate security, the governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary, treasurer, commissary, attorney-general, should be chosen by joint ballot of both houses. And these and all other elections, especially of representatives and counsellors, should be annual, there not being in the whole circle of the sciences a maxim more infallible than this, "where annual elections end, there slavery begins."

These great men, in this respect, should be, once a year,

"Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne,
They rise, they break, and to that sea return."

This will teach them the great political virtues of humility, patience, and moderation, without which every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey.
This mode of constituting the great offices of state will answer very well for the present; but if by experiment it should be found inconvenient, the legislature may, at its leisure, devise other methods of creating them, by elections of the people at large, as in Connecticut, or it may enlarge the term for which they shall be chosen to seven years, or three years, or for life, or make any other alterations which the society shall find productive of its ease, its safety, its freedom, or, in one word, its happiness.

A rotation of all offices, as well as of representatives and counsellors, has many advocates, and is contended for with many plausible arguments. It would be attended, no doubt, with many advantages; and if the society has a sufficient number of suitable characters to supply the great number of vacancies which would be made by such a rotation, I can see no objection to it. These persons may be allowed to serve for three years, and then be excluded three years, or for any longer or shorter term.

Any seven or nine of the legislative council may be made a quorum, for doing business as a privy council, to advise the governor in the exercise of the executive branch of power, and in all acts of state.

The governor should have the command of the militia and of all your armies. The power of pardons should be with the governor and council.

Judges, justices, and all other officers, civil and military, should be nominated and appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of council, unless you choose to have a government more popular; if you do, all officers, civil and military, may be chosen by joint ballot of both houses; or, in order to preserve the independence and importance of each house, by ballot of one house, concurred in by the other. Sheriffs should be chosen by the freeholders of counties; so should registers of deeds and clerks of counties.

All officers should have commissions, under the hand of the governor and seal of the colony.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe

Judeophobes beware, my eye is always watching.  Guess what I found out about your part time lover, Hamas?  They stole 10 lbs of supplies...oh wait...I'm sorry...200 tons of supplies from, ironically, the United Nations, who have now suspended relief distribution.  Remember when I said that Hamas, as the bastard twin of the Palestinian Authority Kleptocrat Terror Show, was very much responsible for the continued poverty and suffering of Palestinians in Gaza?  This is why, Jew haters.  I'm sure you'll find ample reason to blame the Jews for this.  I don't know why Hamas would do such a thing to the UN.  After all they fund the publishing of their propaganda text books, and the schools where the lies within are taught.  Maybe Secretary Ban can come hold Hamas hands and gaze sorrowfully with puppy dog eyes and ask them not to do it again.

According to JPost: Nuaf Atar, a Fatah operative captured during the operation [Cast Lead], told the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) that Hamas government officials "took over" humanitarian aid Israel allowed in and sold it when it was supposed to be distributed for free.

Larry and Susan at NQ must be beside themselves over the actions of their prodigal sons at Hamas Terror Inc.

Ooops.  And it seems that this isn't the only such incident that has occurred between Hamas and UNWRA.  Apparently Hamas' "Social Affairs Ministry," what Tony Soprano might refer to as a "crew," got pissed because UNRWA refused to hand the stuff over.  So Hamas stole the goods from an UNRWA warehouse instead.  I wonder if anyone from UNRWA got whacked.

Who'd have thunk it?  The Gaza Strip is being run the same way as Martin Luther Lincoln Jr. Jr. Chicago mob is running America.

High Five!

Seriously, if I were Ban Ki-Moon I'd be showing Hamas what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass (the UN is about as thoughtful as Walter here...but at least Walter is Shomer Shabbas).

Oh, and in case you forgot, tomorrow is the Big Israeli Election Fun Show.  Who will be fucked over and whose nose will smell like whose ass?  Stay tuned.  Don't worry Leftist Jew Haters.  It will be weeks before there's a functioning government over there.  Plenty of time for Hamas to find new and creative ways to kill the people you love to hate.
