Dem guv: 18 months not enough time to be VP, but 143 days is plenty of time to be prez
Democrats and their fuzzy math. From Michelle Malkin:
“Michelle – check out Colorado Governor Bill Ritter’s oops this morning on the Mike Rosen show, hour two (www.850koa.com). When asked about rumors that he was on the list as a vice presidential candidate he remarked (not quoting) that his 18 months of gubernatorial experience were insufficient to be considered for vice president. When asked to compare this to [Obama's] 143 days of experience [in the Senate], he quickly changed the subject.”
I’ve transcribed the relevant parts of the exchanges, in which Ritter first downplays the rumors that Obama is considering him…
Rosen: “Why don’t you think you’d be a good choice?”
Ritter: “Well, just because, I think there are a lot of things that he has to take into consideration. I’ve been governor for 18 months. My experience before that was as a district attorney. I loved being a district attorney…but I don’t think that’s what Barack Obama’s looking for in a vice president. I’ve been governor for 18 months. It’s been a great experience. But it’s just 18 months…Obama has to think about experience…levels of experience…”
[Ritter then discusses other VP possibilities...Tim Kaine, Evan Bayh...praises their experience, foreign policy creds...Joe Biden/chair of Senate Foreign Relations committee..."Any of those three would make sense to me"...Kathleen Sibelius is a great woman...]
…and then during Q&A, Ritter fields an excellent question:
Caller Richard from Windsor: “Governor, you said 18 months’ experience wasn’t enough experience as governor to be the vice president. Would you want to contrast that with the 143 days’ experience Obama as senator before he decided he had enough experience to be president.”
Ritter: All I can tell ya is I am a fan of Barack Obama’s. Met him in 2004 during his campaign for Senate…You meet him and discover there’s something very different about him. That’s all I’ll say.
Heh! Looks like someone is in dire need of a cranialanalectomy!

“Religion of peace” strikes China
From China:
The two men who killed 16 policemen in the Kashgar massacre were today identified as members of an ethic group engaged in a shadowy insurgency in China’s north-western Xinjiang region.
The attackers, aged 28 and 33, were overcome and arrested at the scene and have been confirmed as Uighurs, a predominantly Muslim Turkic people, who make up the majority of Xinjiang’s 20 million population.
Although the official media did not spell it out there appears to be little doubt that they were members of the insurgency seeking to break Xinjiang away from China and establish an independent Islamic state of “East Turkistan”. …
That’s odd. I mean, the Chinese aren’t even in Iraq, and if I’m not mistaken, the left has been saying for years that Islamic terrorist attacks on Spain and Britain and other allies were a result of being in Iraq. Why, if I didn’t know any better, I’d swear this is just yet another act of violence in the name of the religion of perpetual outrage!
Pelosi trying to “save” the planet, or destroy it?
“Good enough for me, but not for thee”…eh, San Fran Nan?
Point to ponder: Obama and white women
If, as the NYT and the rest of the Obama sycophants out there assert, it is racist to associate The One with white women Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, then will someone please instruct the Obama campaign to stop running racist smear ads against their own candidate?
Offsetting “carbon offsets”
Carbon Dioxide is NOT A POLLUTANT! CO2 is vital for plants to survive, plants that create oxygen for you and I to breathe. Our carbon dioxide generator farm is restoring valuable carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at the rate of one cubic foot per hit on this website. Every time you use this website, you are helping to restore the carbon dioxide that the plants and trees require to survive.
Heh.
“Animal rights” nutbars attempt murder in Californiastan
If, by “animal rights”, you mean “the right of one species of animals, i.e. Homo sapiens, to be torched alive in their own homes and killing them and their evil spawn (aka children)”, then yeah…”animal rights”! From Santa Cruz, Californiastan:
Firebombs were intentionally set on a porch and in a car belonging to two UC Santa Cruz researchers in separate incidents early Saturday in what police have classified as acts of domestic terrorism.
Police are calling one of the bombings an attempted homicide.
In one incident, a faculty member’s home on Village Circle off High Street was intentionally firebombed at about 5:40 a.m., according to police. The residence belongs to a well-known UCSC molecular biologist who works with mice. He was one of 13 researchers listed in threatening animal rights pamphlets found Tuesday in a downtown coffee shop.
In the second incident at about the same time, a Volvo station wagon parked in a faculty member’s driveway on Dickens Way on campus also was firebombed, police said.
The family was home at the time of the firebombing and the victims, including two young children, escaped on a fire ladder from a second-story window, according to police. One family member suffered injuries during the escape and had to be hospitalized briefly, police said. That bombing is being considered an attempted homicide because the family was home, police said.
…
Fliers identifying 13 UCSC scientists, some of whom use mice, fruit flies and other nonprimate creatures in their research, were discovered at a downtown coffee shop Tuesday. The fliers say, “Animal abusers everywhere beware; we know where you live; we know where you work; we will never back down until you end your abuse.” The names, home addresses, home phone numbers and photos of researchers were published on the fliers.In February, masked demonstrators rattled the front door of another UCSC researcher, whose husband chased the intruders away while the researcher protected her children in the back of the Westside home. …
Who needs cures for diseases? We’ll just have the “animal rights” nutjobs kill off dying people. I mean, “a rat is a cat is a dog is a boy”, right?
