President Obama will join other G8 leaders today at the posh, French seaside resort of Deauville. On the agenda: proposed global regulations for the Internet, post-tsunami Japan, and military escapades in North Africa. Bizarrely absent from the top priorities listed by hosting head of state Nicolas Sarkozy is the most urgent issue of all: the need to rein in massive government over-spending and debt.
[Unfortunately, their attention will be elsewhere. Internet regulation, for one thing. Sarkozy calls it a "moral imperative" needed to "correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules." Translation... "Remember rubes, you can't say and show anything that makes us look bad. Stupid serfs."

'Sarkozy calls it a "moral imperative" needed to "correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules."'
Such speaks the representative of a political class that has been enabling rather than 'correcting' the chimps in rut 'excessive abusers' among their own.
"If it is (a conflict of interest), then much of Washington is involved (in conflicts)," Frank told the Herald last night. Oh, so it's okay then. Well. Never mind. Move along, nothing to see, folks.

That quote sums up much of what's wrong with Washington. Time to clean house.
And why can't we pass a constitutional amendment that says that Congress cannot exempt themselves from the laws they create for the serfs? Like insider trading, for instance.

Where else would Bawney's Fannie partner be qualified to work but Fannie Mae? Recommending him for Freddie Mack wouldn't make sense. Maybe Health & Human Services or the Secret Service might work.
The Californian Attorney General will conduct whats being termed an inquiry into former Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggers alleged misuse of tax payer funds to cover up sexual liaisons.
In a bombshell exclusive, RadarOnline.com has learned the Office of the Attorney General, a branch of the Department of Justice, is conducting a preliminary evaluation into the scope of Schwarzeneggers double life, which allegedly included using his state-funded security details to cover up women being escorted into his hotel room.
Veteran hotel security officer William Taylor said he witnessed the Governator using California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers and vehicles to ferry scantily-clad women in-and-out of his suite at the Sacramento Hyatt Regency where he and wife Maria Shriver often stayed.
It makes me very angry just to think of what was going on at that time, Taylor, who passed a polygraph test about his claims, told the latest edition of the National Enquirer.

With the budget problems and the imminent release of a bunch of prisoners thanks to the Supreme Court this has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

SF Chron:
"Sacramento Hyatt general manager Ulrich Samietz told the Chronicle in an email that "we do not have any records" of William Taylor -- the man who claims in the Enquirer to be the hotel's former security chief -- ever being employed there. "We are not familiar'' with Taylor, he wrote. He also dismisses the story: "As far as Governor Schwarzenegger is concerned, he was always respectful to our associates during his stays here."

You see our state AG doesn't want to actually prosecute criminals, so she will spend the next four years grand standing. She is the Gloria Aldridge of Attorney Generals. She is probably looking toward a Senate or possibly a Governor campaign. For the record Arnie is a POS, dead to me, elitists and I wish I knew then what I know now.

Kamala is a San Francisco black radical. My vote against her was overwhelmed. I suspect until the SF/LA libs are beaten/raped/killed in large numbers in their homes, we won't see a change.
Wonder if we have a "who's wealthy, not armed, and understands your pathology" list if it might help?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
