Hillary Clinton to be back at work Monday - Channel NewsAsia

The Only Thing Left for Hillary is to pose for Playboy
by Pat Darnell | Jan 9, 2013 | Bryan TX

[Picture LINK] " ... She told Obama a long time ago that she would not return to serve as Secretary of State in the President's second term. So what is a former first lady and Senator to do with a bunch of time off? ... Hillary has a Situation-like threefold plan: GNC. Yes, that stands for Gym, Nap, Chill. (Myles Tanzer. NOV 11, 2012 2:09 PM. HERE)... "

Hillary Clinton to be back at work Monday - Channel NewsAsia:

'via Blog this'

Sometimes people who are bombastic and have inflated egos do actually grow out of it, and into a more stable human being. Narcissism has its purpose in lives of leaders. How else could anyone have the nerve to jump out ahead of others while walking all over those who propel them to high office.

What has Hillary Clinton done that makes her anything more than butterball politician of the month? She was some sort of half-wit socialist in college. She backed a bunch of politicians who lost their campaigns. She married Bill Clinton. She became a mother.

While in the White House she is said to have tantrums about Bill Clinton's affairs, both public and private. And while Bill was treasonous with his appetite for country girls, Hillary was busy researching and writing a health care bill.

Our Oak Park, Illinois girl pushed her way into the Senate, [D-NY, 2001-2009], on her way to run for president, POTUS. Along comes the chosen one, Barry Obama, who is the Bilderberger candidate of choice, and Hillary is prompted by then Senator Ted Kennedy to compromise.

Those, elite of the Democratic party, at the time before the 2008 election met with Ted Kennedy who set them all straight. Obama will be POTUS, Hillary will be Secretary of State,and her Healthcare bill will be pushed through.

It was obvious to this writer what happened. Others will of course have their own perspective.

My view is that Hillary Clinton has grown out of her bombastic ways because she has run and won by herself a Senate race for New York, where she never lived. She has run for POTUS, and won herself the Secretarial position. She has been manic in her zeal to do a good job ... by standards of precedence for the office she holds.
" ... Clinton has been sidelined for four weeks, since she was taken ill on her return from a trip to Europe on December 7, and briefly hospitalized for a few days in New York last week.

It has been a rare absence for the normally indefatigable Clinton, who in her four years in office has traveled almost a million miles, visited 112 countries and spent close to 400 days in a plane. (-AFP/ac. 07 January 2013. HERE) ..." 
Soon she will step down and John Kerry will take over that appointed position.

See, Politics is Simple. But if you want to be a politician, you have to be an outrageous, careless, bombastic, loquacious, attention grabbing, sidekick to another politician who is more so amoral ... then you get to a point in the "career" where you "GNC: Gym Nap Chill."

MooPig Solutions Department :: "2008 Copenhagen Consensus"

Review of World's Best Solutions 2008
Retrieved by Pat Darnell | Dec 30, 2012 | Bryan TX


[Picture LINK]

The Top Ten Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems - Reason.com: "Copenhagen, May 30, 2008 Ronald Bailey — " ... Where in the world can we do the most good? Supplying the micronutrients vitamin A and zinc to 80 percent of the 140 million children who lack them in developing countries is ranked as the highest priority by the expert panel at the Copenhagen Consensus 2008 Conference. The cost is $60 million per year, yielding benefits in health and cognitive development of over $1 billion."

'via Blog this'

The tasks of solving problems requires developing economies of developing countries to play leap frog. For instance, " ... proposals to reduce outdoor air pollution in developing country cities by installing technologies to cut the emissions of particulates from diesel vehicles. Other ... solutions included a tobacco tax, improved stoves to reduce indoor air pollution, and extending microfinance. ... "

The leap frog tactic would allow developing economies to start with 'state-of-the-art' technologies at the beginning of their development, thus leap frog over the existing problematic carbon spewing technologies. China could start building low emission automobiles from the start, and bypass wasteful years of making carbon cannon cars.

Those are lofty installations. In most installations of new technology, the cost is recovered over twenty to ninety years in returns on investing in the welfare of developing countries. In other words, each solution is evaluated on its initial cost, usually in billions, and its return on investment.
" ... In fact, the climate change analysis presented to the panel found that spending $800 billion until 2100 would yield just $685 billion in climate change benefits. (Ronald Bailey | May 30, 2008. HERE) ... "
Whereas, " ... [e]ight leading economists, including five Nobelists, were asked to prioritize 30 different proposed solutions to ten of the world's biggest problems... " this included problems with balanced distribution of the world's remaining resources. (ibid.)

Each solution, or opportunity, posted in the chart above could be historically a reason for war. Epidemics, migrations, trade deficits, regional catastrophe, and starvation all have caused war in our first 12,000 years of recorded history. What makes this era different? [Chart Source LINK]

Also, we still have a thousand year history of boom/bust cycles in economy. It is still going on. Japan has been in a bust cycle now for twenty-five years, although they say it is just a recession. Our USA has ceased being a developing economy, and now is in a twenty year period of "stagflation;" a term used in economics to describe a situation where an inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows down, and unemployment remains steadily high. (wiki)

Hopefully the developing economies can 'leap frog' over and past those hurdles we 'developed' economies now wallow in.

Dan Froomkin - Bush Thumbs Nose at Congress

We're going to go out on a Limb, but, 'Dubya' Bush was a Sneaky Bast*rd
Not PC, Re-framed by Pat Darnell | Dec 29, 2012 | Bryan TX
[Picture LINK]

Dan Froomkin - Bush Thumbs Nose at Congress:
In 2008 the Democrats controlled the House, and 'Dubya' Bush thumbed his nose at them. He conveniently abused his power to ignore certain protocols of legislation that were put in place to balance powers of Houses and Executive, especially in spending for military bases and for declarations of war.
" ... It's about as basic as it gets: Congress has the power of the purse. And Section 1222 of the massive defense appropriation bill enacted this week [Wednesday, January 30, 2008] asserts that power. It reads, in its entirety:

"No funds appropriated pursuant to an authorization of appropriations in this Act may be obligated or expended for a purpose as follows:

"(1) To establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq.

"(2) To exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq."  ( Dan Froomkin. washington post. Wednesday, January 30, 2008; HERE) ... "
    'via Blog this'
What Dubya did was to not veto any bills from the Democratic led Congress. He signed all the bills and invited all the authors to a grandiose signing photo op ... then afterwards he made Executive Notes called: "signing statements" on those bills. He did not intend to follow much of those bills. What a ruse, eh?
" ... But it's Bush's cavalier dismissal of the ban on funding for permanent military bases that really speaks volumes -- not just about his view of the role of the legislative branch, but also about his intentions for Iraq. ... " (ibid.)
All we at MooPig Political Round Ball Department can figure is that 'Dubya' Bush wanted it to look like he was actually working, when in fact " ... Calls to several Presidential libraries reveal that President Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, was on vacation more — 1,020 days — than any U.S. President since Herbert Hoover and possibly more than any other President in history. (Lauren Victoria Burke. May 08, 2012. HERE)... "

Bush's surreptitious scheme to "quietly assert his right to ignore legislation passed by Congress – including its ban on torture – first came to light in January [2006] due to some aggressive reporting by Boston Globe reporter Charlie Savage. (Charlie Savage, Globe Staff | January 4, 2006)"
" ... January 4, 2006

WASHINGTON -- When President Bush last week signed the bill outlawing the torture of detainees, he quietly reserved the right to bypass the law under his powers as commander in chief. (ibid.) ... "
CONCLUSION
'Dubya' Bush set precedence that others will surely follow. He was a lazy, anti-democracy, evil-doer, bully, who was raised in Washington, DC environment by his "public servant" dad.

MooPig is sorry that it could not break the codes of the past better while it parlayed through the Bush lame duck years.

We failed you, our faithful reader.

Episode 18 was a "Great absurdist bit.."


Ep. 18 Julian Burns with Tom Waits and Brick – TOM WAITS! F**k yeah! Julian Bond was a Georgia State Senator. Not someone who hit much of a plateau. But it’s cool. A great absurdist bit involving a masked psychiatrist, and Gilda Radner talking to a commercial announcer. Far left field bits. Delicious. More Bad Cinema! Leonard Pinth Garnell has become my favorite reoccurring bit. This should all be shown to Freshmen film students. A very racially charged episode, with the best bit being Mr. Mike meeting Mr. Reemus, and says “Moral? There is no moral, just random acts of violence.”

FAQ
Q: MooPig, Why bring this up now?

Anwers: As we roil toward the end of '08... it occurs to the staff here that SNL episodes back in the beginning were knowingly Absurd, but now we have moved into a realm of unknowingly Absurd.

Q: So?

Answers: It is an observation... reveals how suburbanites relish in what they, as we staffers too, cannot actually be part of.

Q: What the Hell are you about here, MooPig?

Answers: Besides asking myself questions and also answering them? Okay, let me describe the plight of white flight America suburbanite-ism this way. For instance did you know that in a rising water flood that garbage dumpsters float like barges atop the brackish backing up storm sewage?

Well, they do. As water rises, because further down-stream is blockage, other
surprising things happen. Motors everywhere cease to drum out white noise as electricity breakers [hopefully] close circuits. Industrial noise ceases and the dumpsters begin to float. Do you think those welders who made those dumpsters knew that they would be as effective as Noah making his Ark?

Q: So?

Answers: Well, Tom Waites lived in a dumpster in California near LA. Like we said
once before: "Genius needs no introduction."

has fame in his own time! What an

Wow!!! I’m very impressed. That first one should have won a ribbon or two (looks like palette knife technique). Also loved the frames on the last two! That last one was very “Nall-ish”…except yours is likeable. (Nall grew up about 8 miles from my childhood home and the folks around here think he’s the used-car-salesman of the art world). As someone who can’t draw one stick figure behind another, I’d have to say the 2nd is my favorite, though….‘cause what you’re doing with depth is so darned difficult AND I just like it. Thanks for sharing, you are an amazing person!

As it is, you have a thread joining that syncopathic mind with that dextrorotatoric hand, causing your paintings to bank like a butterfly in the coastal wind. Color flashes me here, then shadows. Quick strokes, rapid recoveries. Overall satisfaction with the image of colors, bright... stark. Light from a source, The Source. Second only to yourself, Primero. (d2r2)

NFL Football Season Opened... yawn



Ten, HUBBA HUBBA, burning Questions for the 2008 NFL Football Season,
reveiw of Friedman, by Pat Darnell

Wow, did you see that ending ceremony of the Beijing Olympics? I can't get that firework show out of my head.

You know when they gave the stage to Obama, Barack right after his nomidi-nation? They were shooting off flares and little Roman candles.... like Kiss pyrotechnic stuff. I was embarrassed to watch it. It was the most childish thing I had ever seen televised. After witnessing the Beijing summation's and celebrations, I never want to see fireworks on television again.

I felt bad for Obama as he traipsed around the cheesy stage waving his hand high, confused and dazed from the phosphorous retina burns, looking for his family who were to come up with him, as the congregated 65,000 DNC delegates went ticker tape wild.

Obama's littlest daughter leaps into his arms, terrified. The little Obama family dwarfed in its precarious stumbling around during protocol slip ups and malfunctions, looked a bit dysfunctional themselves.

It was like when the child steps up to the can toss game on Bozo, and it goes badly for him. The little tyke needs encouragement even though he throws like a girl... WHAT? oh, sorry.... like an Orangutan; and his toss of the ball bounces off camera, and he is out on the first bucket miss. Boo hoo, makes me very sad. And the vacant, stubborn glare of the child's stage mother.

What is this blog about, Levon? What? Oh, yeah:

(JON FRIEDMAN'S MEDIA WEB 2008 NFL season preview: 10 burning questions Commentary: Look for Chargers-Cowboys in the Super Bowl) September 4, 2008
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah... the NFL Football Season has opened in the past week or ten days, and Brett Favre is in New York. Here's the ten most important pressing questions at NFL opening date, whenever it was:

1) Can the "Jints" repeat?
2) Will the Patriots suffer a post-Super Bowl hangover?
3) So, then, if the Pats and the Giants won't make it to the promised land, which teams will?
[SOURCE]
4) Will Favre lift the Jets to glory?
5) How will Aaron Rodgers do as Favre's replacement in Green Bay?
6) Can Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson supplant San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson this season as the best running back in the league?

7) Can Romo shake his label as an immature choke artist?
8) Can Bill Parcells work his magic in Miami?
9) Who will emerge as the most overrated player in the league?

10) Who is the best quarterback in his family, Eli Manning of the Giants or his older brother, Peyton Manning, of the Indianapolis Colts?

Go to Jon Friedman's Media Web article to see his take on his own questions... eh?
