A husband arrives home after his wife spent a few hours at the beauty shop enjoying a “makeover day”.   Upon noticing his wifes new hairdo he remarks your hair looks beautiful.   She responds:

 “do you like my hair better this way, or the way I used to have it”?

There is no way to answer this   question safely because the Mrs. has just presented an example of “Prog Logic Thought”.   If the Mr. says the new style is best, the Mrs. will proclaim “how come you never told me you hated my old hair”; conversely if the Mr. says the former style was preferred, well, watch out…. nuf said.
This cognitive framing of progressive logic (prog-logic) extends into many areas of discussion, including Mark O’Mara.   But before talking about the specific examples of Mark O’Mara lets review some more easy to frame historical examples. (more…)

(WND) Jane Pitt, mother of actor Brad Pitt, has been scared into silence by the hate-filled, vulgar and even violent reaction to her public assertion that Barack Obama is “a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.”

Pitt has even been the subject of death threats following her letter to the editor of Missouri’s Springfield News-Leader in which she asserted failure to vote for Republican presumptive presidential candidate Mitt Romney constituted a vote for Obama. (more…)

BUSTED – Debbie Wasserman Schultz held investments in Swiss Banks and the State Bank of India…..  Discovery just mere days after attacking Romney for Swiss holdings.

WASHINGTON DC – Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past. (more…)

Death By Bureaucracy

WASHINGTON DC – The Justice Department on Monday unsealed an indictment charging five  individuals allegedly involved in Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s death, and  announced a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest of  those suspects still at large.
 
For the first time, federal officials also revealed that Terry and an elite  squad of federal agents initially fired bean bags — not bullets — at a heavily  armed drug cartel crew in the mountains south of Tucson in December 2010. During  the exchange, Terry was shot and killed.
The announcement comes amid an intensifying debate over the department’s  failed Fast and Furious anti-gunrunning operation. Weapons from that program  were found at Terry’s murder scene — Republicans seeking documents pertaining  to Fast and Furious last month escalated their probe by voting to hold Attorney  General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

Lexus Hybrids Debuted in 2004
You Can’t Fix Stupid – But You Can Vote It Out  (CNSNews.com) — Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has credited the Obama administration’s work on fuel standards for having “jump started” the development of Lexus hybrids, even though the company debuted its SUV hybrid in 2004.

While discussing vehicle fuel standards at the Aspen Ideas Festival on July 3rd, LaHood said, “I don’t think the car manufacturers would be manufacturing the cars they are manufacturing today as hybrids, if it weren’t for what the president did in signing the executive order and what Lisa (Jackson, EPA Administrator) and I have done over the last three and half years about developing C.A.F.E. (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for automobiles and light trucks that will get 54.4 miles per gallon by 2025.” (more…)

RACISTS !

CNN/ORC – More than half of Americans support the move by House Republicans to censure Attorney General Eric Holder, but six in 10 also say that the GOP’s move was politically motivated, according to a poll released Monday.
Some 53 percent of respondents in the CNN/ORC poll say they believe the House did the right thing when voting 255-67 late last month to censure Holder for failing to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun smuggling operation. One-third of respondents say they disapprove of the action, while 13 percent are unsure. (more…)

Color me curious.  How many places and what products can you use Food Stamp EBT cards for?  Seriously, honest question.   I had no idea that you could purchase jewelry, tattoos, buy gas, get nails manicured and hair done etc.
I thought the Food Stamp program was to give poor people  food.   Stupid me.
Daily Caller – Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick has vetoed the state legislature’s attempt to ban the use of EBT cards — or food stamps — to purchase items such as tattoos, porn and jewelry.
Patrick vetoed the reforms Sunday while signing the state’s $32.5 billion budget.
According to the Boston Herald, which first reported the veto, the governor berated the legislature’s stab at banning the purchase of specific items like manicures, tattoos, guns, porn, body piercings, jewelry, and bail by saying the move was “political grandstanding” at a time when such reforms are already on track elsewhere.

Well, at least this week….

(Herald Sun) — A Melbourne family who claim they were slugged an extra $55 “carbon tax charge” when burying a relative were told “even the dead don’t escape the carbon tax”.

Erica Maliki and her family were burying her father-in-law at Springvale Cemetery when she was told the price per burial plot had increased because of the carbon tax.
Her father-in-law died on June 30, the day before the carbon tax was introduced, and was buried early last week. (more…)

If you have not read the books (trilogy), you should.   If you haven’t watched the movie, well, that’s good too.   Both Treeper Sibilj and Treeper DiwataMan remind me of these two characters; they are quite good dot connectors and in a most unusual way they are keenly on the same trail from two different angles… quite similar.   Life imitates art.
DiwataMan has a construct of what he calls a conspiracy theory – Sibilj has a prediction for where this is headed.   The theory is really close to dead center mass – The prediction is, well, unless things change quickly, at this point, a virtual certainty.

[comment] Why are people claiming that other people are claiming O’Mara is going to throw or lose the case purposefully?  Has Sundance or anyone claimed that?  My position is that, albeit conspiratorial, this case will go to trial no matter what and the powers that be are going to make sure that happens. The main reason is that no one then but a jury will be responsible for impending riots, everyone has covered their butts.
Has O’Mara had anything regarding this case that would allow him to file to get the case thrown out? Will he have a SYG hearing? I bet he will but I bet it will also fail, it has to fail or else that judge who would throw the case out then would be the one to have to answer to all of his little buddies as to why he just allowed the State of Florida to be put into a position of potentially losing billions of dollars, lol, nobody want to be that guy, this thing is going to a jury and the decision to make sure that happens probably occurred when Bondi and Scott got together.  (continue reading)

DiwataMan is mostly right, and essentially on the right track here.   Indeed if I have given anyone the opinion that a loss in this case is Zimmerman in jail, then allow me to clear up the miscommunication on my part.   A loss is this case going to TRIAL. (more…)
