Obama's Weary Lame Rhetoric; Robot Is What's For Caregiving; Man Goes After State Worker; Democrat Witch Hunters; Hypocritical Clowns Will Save The Planet (Snicker); Ratchet Down Expectations Says Democrat; Oxford Hamas Alliance (Of Sorts); Losing Tax Status...With Dignity?

Not in the bit interested anymore in talking about Obama's vapid left-wing free-shit crap.

So I'll just lazily pass this over to White House dossier.

Interesting. Congress invites Netanyahu without notifying the White House. It's so on.

Zing. Hey, Obama lives and dies by his own sword. It's not like he cares to much for protocol given he's King and all.

You say you want minimum wage for living wage, huh? Meet your Robot overlords. Caregivers. Whatever.



Statistics Canada estimates people aged 65 and older will account for almost a quarter of the population by 2051. Prof. Goldie Nejat at the University of Toronto says health-care robots represent the biggest source of funding for her lab from government and industry.


Nejat says robot caregivers can help health-care providers with simple repetitive tasks like meal preparation. But they can also assist the elderly with social and cognitive skills."

As far as I can tell - which isn't very far. Not as skillful as Giambatista Vico that's for sure - whenever I see stories like this one it becomes painfully obvious the system doesn't seem to accept or fathom that a civil servant can be deviant. It's almost as if it refuses to accept that with all this power and control civil servants don't go rogue looking to destroy lives.

Which is ridiculous given they are human.

"A Gwinnett County father cleared after spending seven months in jail now wants police to charge the state worker who accused him of attacking her.

John Blue lost his interior design shop, his apartment and most of his belongings as he sat in jail for seven months. It took a jury less than 45 minutes to find Blue not guilty.
Channel 2’s Tony Thomas met Blue at the Duluth police headquarters.

For the past several days, Blue has been living in his van. Police said it is the same van he used to ram a state welfare worker last summer during a Division of Family and Children’s Services investigation at the time.

Blue left with his children, and a Levi’s Call was issued hours later. As police arrested Blue that day, he insisted that the worker assaulted him.

“She crashed my car. She rammed my car,” said Blue.
 
In my world, if you knowingly destroy a life, you should fess up and face the consequences. But my world is too 'mean' apparently.

Democrats are pro-science.

Right.

8% of Democrats think you can cure a 'hangover' with antibiotics.

1% of Republicans think this.

And we're surprised because?

1,700 Private Jets Will Fly to Davos to Discuss Global Warming

***

And we're surprised because part 2?

To wit, here's billionaire Jeff Greene, who ran for the Democratic Senate nomination in Florida in 2010, discoursing on what the little people should be getting ready for:

Billionaire Jeff Greene, who amassed a multibillion dollar fortune betting against subprime mortgage securities, says the U.S. faces a jobs crisis that will cause social unrest and radical politics.
“America’s lifestyle expectations are far too high and need to be adjusted so we have less things and a smaller, better existence,” Greene said in an interview today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “We need to reinvent our whole system of life.”
How is this not communism again? Geez, just take over the system already you boobs.

But don't expect Greene to be the change he wants you to be:

Greene, who flew his wife, children and two nannies on a private jet plane to Davos for the week, said he’s planning a conference in Palm Beach, Florida, at the Tideline Hotel called “Closing the Gap.” The event, which he said is scheduled for December, will feature speakers such as economist Nouriel Roubini.

DO AS WE SAY NOT AS WE DO! DAMMIT THE GLOBAL-EARTHY THING WILL NOT COOL ITSELF WITHOUT COOL PEOPLE TO SAVE IT!

Yes, master says the unthinking emotional progressive.

What's really sad is their own private guilt projecting onto the rest of the people. 'Sigh, look at all our wealth. We truly are blessed. But it came at a great cost. Family and the environment. I will go into politics to preserve what I have built AND demand people adjust their way of living to save my family and the environment. I mean, as look out my mansion I notice people buying modest homes. Do they really need all that space? I wonder.'

"After all, it has to start somewhere and who else than YOU? Come on. Don't be like that. You do care for the environment right? Attaboy. Now, my private is ready. I'll call you in the morning from Paris. Let's get moving and SAVE globe!"

Greene has two nannies, it should be noted, and has two kids. 

C.S. Lewis saw through bull shit too:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. "

How did a guy like Greene make his money? Someone explained it this way:

"multibillion dollar fortune betting against subprime mortgage securities"

This means he purchased the credit default swaps. The swaps are the "insurance" the owners of the securities bought to protect them against default of the mortgage backed securities. Even worse the brokerages started selling synthetic swaps to turds like Greene who didn't even own the securities as a way to make even more money - after all that insurance was never going to pay off.

I think this is what we call, les mots justes, welfare queens. They made money thanks to a cronyist, corrupt political system (think Greenspan, Bernacke and Yellen) that permitted it. Too big to fail, bail out slush funds to irresponsible businesses...you know? And these people are then considered 'geniuses?' No. They were at the right place and at the right time to milk the system. Nothing more, nothing less. But they will save the planet, see?

Ooh, the hubris, nerve and arrogance on this guy. It's just...

Klaus says Crimea never belonged to Ukraine.

Oxford...dear me.

"The proposition debated was: “Hamas is a greater obstacle to peace than Israel.”
When first apprised of the topic, I was so certain that an error had been made that I called both my debating partner, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and Oxford to confirm it. Outside of the Muslim world and the far left, who would even think to argue that Hamas is not the greater obstacle to peace?
Is the Oxford Union unaware that the Hamas charter calls for, indeed the raison detre of Hamas is, the destruction of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state?

Yet, the proposition lost by a vote of 190 to 130, give or take a few votes. In other words, a majority of Oxford University students voting at the Oxford Union deem Israel a greater threat than Hamas."

Immoral ill-informed dingbats.

Dying with Dignity stripped of their charitable tax  status:

"Canada's registered charities are not permitted to exercise moral pressure or promote "an attitude of mind" that might influence legislation, the federal taxman has ruled in stripping Dying with Dignity Canada of its charitable tax status.

The organization, a registered charity since 1982, was informed this month by the Canada Revenue Agency that it never should have received favourable tax treatment in the first place and that its status was being annulled, effective mid-February."
