Talked to Robert Stacy Last Night

he tells me that he is doing fine and my Fedora is doing even better. He gives the Axis of Fedora props for a run of luck at the Roulette Table he had.

He was on his way trying to find Searchlight site of the Tea Party event today, due to a previous engagement I was unable to join him out west and he had some trouble navigating without me at the wheel next to him (or it could be that he was on the phone with me when he missed the turnoff) but apparently in the end he found the fabled land of searchlight aided no doubt by the long line of cars heading through the desert going to the same spot.

Even before his current report hit the Blog I found out that he would have to hightail it back to grab Ali from the airport who is still finding Gems like this in Obamacare:

Obama’s #hcr insurance mandate did NOT eliminate pre-existing conditions in all insurance. Call any airline ticket insurer.

I don’t know how familiar Ali is with trying to wake Stacy up early in the morning but that drive back to Searchlight is going to be very interesting.

There were already people camping out, Stacy being Stacy took the time to talk with the people there. It remains to be seen if they will draw the 4,000 or 10,000 but if my experience with Palin in NH is any indication it will be VERY large.

My question is will the SEIU stewards pull the “You’d better show up to counter protest or don’t be looking for jobs” bit to gin up counter protests. I remember in NH how organized the opposition to the Governor was as opposed to the grass roots nature of the people waiting to see her. Will they be organized and intimidating enough to get folks there so the media can say they existed or will it be too long a haul for them? If they do show up I suggest a quick video panning from the protesters to the crowd to see Governor Palin to illustrate the size difference and the media’s attempt to make them equivalent.

The big question is this. Can Stacy get a picture of Sarah Palin in the Fedora? Can we have her join the axis? No matter what today won’t be a lazy Saturday over at the Other McCain. I suggest frequent visits.

I can’t believe my Fedora made it to Vegas before I did.

DaTechguy’s Field guide to bloggers: Cheryl from twits.ws

There are blogs out there about every conceivable subject but who would think there would be a blog about twitter? Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose?

I have the strangest feeling that Cheryl will draw more hits that Moe Lane did, a lot more. I can’t imagine why.

Just a reminder to the people who take the MSM seriously…

The Seattle times reported that a rock was thrown through a congressman’s office in this building, on the 30th floor.

Land of the Giants!

The same people who believe that the Tea Party movement has 30 foot giants throwing rocks at windows probably believe the crowd estimates of these protests against Castro (photos via Babalu blog)

30 people march

30 people

173 people

About 173 people.

Those protests btw are to commemorate the crackdown of dissidents in Cuba known as Black Spring. At least one pop singer has spoken out about this, but for some reason wesmirch doesn’t find it interesting.

But don’t worry media fans and true believers. Andrew Breitbart is playing his own version of Win Ben Stein Money with $10,000 as the prize!

It’s time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.

And surely if those cameras did not capture such abhorrence, then someone from the mainstream media — those who printed and broadcast his assertions without any reasonable questioning or investigation — must themselves surely have it on camera. Of course we already know they don’t. If they did, you’d have seen it by now.

That should be a piece of cake, after all the MSM media reported this as true and we believe the media don’t we?

Hey can we call the president a socialist…

…if Fidel Castro is endorsing his healthcare plan?

Isn’t that awesome? We’re finally “catching up” to the oppressive, poverty-stricken, third world ashtray of Cuba! Wouldn’t it be awesome if we just ended up like Cuba? I can’t wait to see the utopia that’s surely just around the corner!

Maybe we can eventually have a tyrannical murderer and blustering anthropoid “leader” like they do – one that cares about “the poor.” An Obamacrat can dream

And Hotair points out asks a relevant question?

Say, I wonder if that’s why Castro’s happy — because he knows where “common sense, middle of the road” reform in this case is likely to lead.

Val Prieto provides some links to what it leads to in Cuba, not for the faint of heart.

Well if we can’t call him a socialist perhaps there is another word we can call him:

In an editorial that the Obama Administration surely wishes had not been written, American communist newspaper People’s World issued a ringing endorsement of President Obama and the Democrats’ actions in muscling Obamacare through Congress over bipartisan opposition, with the editorial board of the communist newspaper claiming that the “enactment of this bill is an enormous victory for the broad progressive movement in our country” while oddly claiming that “almost every sector of American society” and “ordinary people from throughout the country applauded President Obama” and Pelosi for passing Obamacare.

Hey if it walks like a duck…

BTW props to Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe for asking Claire McCaskill about this today.
