Justice Breyer on Obamacare: 'I Haven’t Read Every Word of That, I Promise’ | CNSNews.com: “So what do you propose that we do other than spend a year reading all this and have you argument all this?” said Breyer.
Well, someone should be the first to read every single word . . .
But hey, if Congress can't actually be bothered to read the bills they pass, then why should the Supreme Court actually read it to determine Constitutionality?
Spiraling ever downward.

Trayvon™ and Birmingham
Birmingham City Council names Trayvon an honorary citizen of Birmingham.
So Trayvon™ is an honorary Birmingham citizen.
(By the way, I noticed that the family of the deceased lad is moving to trademark his name. I thought about calling him Trayvon, Inc., but instead I will refer to him as Trayvon™. Don't want anybody to accuse me of being a Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaciisst)
Complete with a councilman wearing a hoodie in solidarity.
Oh, and they’re planning a trip to Sanford, Florida to deliver the city’s resolution and show their support.
Because as we all know, there’s nothing like a road trip to Florida in the spring to take your mind off of declaring bankruptcy, the whole $3B sewer fiasco, building a dome stadium in the city, moving the Birmingham Barons from Hoover, and that whole occupational tax thing.
You know what I want? A hoodie with a CW2 cube on the front.
If there's enough interest, then maybe I'll create one at zazzle or cafepress or something.

High Energy Prices. What else you should understand.
H/T to insty for this story from hotair.com regarding EPA regulations and their cumulative effect on coal-fired electric generation.
Here’s what else you need to understand:
Natural gas prices right now are at an all-time low. They are pressurizing natural gas lines to the max trying to store the inventory. They are running combined cycle plants as baseload units (i.e. 100% all the time) because the gas price is low. Coal plants on the other hand which have traditionally carried the bulk of the load on the grid are often sitting idle on reserve shutdown-awaiting dispatch. Not just 50 year old coal plants either, but the ginormous units. I know this is true, you’ll just have to trust me. Or turn me in to Attack Watch III.com. Either way.
There have been plenty of lawfare attacks on the use of coal. To date, the most obvious have been on the emissions that go out the smokestack. But the line of assault is changing to include ash. Though ash has been ruled to be a non-hazardous substance-by the EPA itself, there are many greenies who want to reverse this. If you thought carbon was bad, wait until they declare ash to be hazardous. But there is also a strong line of regulatory attack over the use of water from lakes and rivers. Most plants run a steam cycle or a cooling tower and they must have water to operate. There has also been a lot more regulatory scrutiny aimed at the coal mines themselves. All of this is aimed to increase the price for plants to obtain coal, the price for their emissions, the price for handling ash, the price for obtaining water to make steam and cool that steam, and ultimately the price you pay for electricity.
Why...it’s like we’re creating a Coal Bubble!
Bingo.
It’s not “like” a coal bubble, it IS a coal bubble. This bubble favors natural gas and “green” energy sources in which Obama and his friends are heavily invested by making coal electricity more expensive. The end result being that they make money while their opponents lose money.
Even better, energy prices will “necessarily skyrocket”, drive out business, drive up unemployment, and increase the dependence of the populace upon government unemployment benefits.
So what happens next?
Well, the combined cycle and combustion turbine generators are typically not designed to be run as baseload units. Again, trust me. They were designed to be peaking units that took advantage of high prices on the spot market for electricity and ran only when the price justified it. Therefore, they are not typically built to the same standards as the bigger coal plants and are not as big as the coal fired units. This will eventually lead to reliability problems in the jet powered generation fleet.
But all bubbles eventually pop, right?
Right again!
Obama has that covered too. This bubble could be popped not by the price of using coal suddenly plummeting, but by the price of natural gas skyrocketing upwards. Have we lifted that “drilling moratorium” in the Gulf? You know that one where the judge voided the moratorium and Obama put a brand new one out there only a few days later? How’s that Keystone XL pipeline coming along? And what happens if the EPA all of the sudden decides to put a "moratorium" on fracking? See, all of that is within government control. So the trick for government is to wait until just the right moment to impose such a moratorium, pop such a bubble and create more problems. (Which of course require the government to solve.)
Obama is counting on his EPA to be able to force the closure of a lot of the coal fired generation in this country. When utilities start closing plants, they’ll start with the oldest units which have no environmental controls installed. But when utilities run out of old plants to close so that they may comply, then the EPA will tighten the noose further so as to force the closure of some of the bigger, newer plants that have some environmental controls installed. The insult to injury here is that in the last decade, many of the bigger, newer, "flagship" type coal plants received a lot of environmental controls at an enormous capital cost that was inevitably passed on to you the ratepayer. In the next decade, many of those same plants may be forced to close.
"Energy prices will necessarily skyrocket" is just one part of the equation. The other side of that is that the availability and reliability of electricity will decrease.
We are on Flight 93.

Luggage makes TSA sick.
Story here.
Makes me want to sing some Lee Greenwood.
Thinking on “failure as a strategy”, what other items might be brought through the search lines to help sicken TSA workers and tie up resources?
Totally random, but I wonder how long it will be until someone decides to pee on the hand that gropes them? If TSA is puking, then they won't be groping. Just saying...
Makes me want to sing some Lee Greenwood.
- Rotting meat.
- A sack of dirty diapers.
- A dead possum.
- Used colostomy bags.
The possibilities and the fun are almost endless.

Clooney 'Narrowly Escapes' rocket attack in Sudan
Story here
...and the mosquitos too.
One might ask the same thing about Project Gunwalker . . . . if one cared.
Perhaps in Sudan they say it like this:
Isn't it amazing how well Sudanese translates to English!?
Hollywood heart throb and activist George Clooney on Tuesday said Sudanese government forces are committing war crimes with attacks on civilians -- including a rocket strike that he narrowly escapedSomeone should really speak with those Sudanese about aim.
Clooney has long called attention to the war between Sudan and newly independent South Sudan. On a trip in January he contracted malaria.
...and the mosquitos too.
Shown wearing a baseball cap and unshaven, Clooney looked little like most of the characters he plays on the big screen. In one segment he stands over a corpse, along with the text written: "How many more bodies?"

Panetta visits troops in Afghanistan, troops forced to disarm. Story here.
The Love Song of Saul Alinksy
As you no doubt know, there was a "play" many years ago by this name and Baraka Obama attended and helped moderate the indoctrination period at the end.
Of course, they had a poster for this show, which I've adjusted slightly.

Jack Sparrow in Davy Jones Locker
In Pirates of the Caribbean III - At World's End, Jack Sparrow finds himself in Davy Jones Locker.
Click to view scene It's about 8:30 long, but worth it.
Why...it looks almost like something I've seen play out recently in real life. But where oh where, I wonder???????

Afghanistan rampage
I don't know what the big deal is with this "shooting rampage" in Afghanistan. Just seems like a case of workplace violence to me.

I'm Rick James!
Okay, how many of you have seen the Dave Chappelle skit for True Hollywood stories? The one with Charlie Murphy and Rick James?
You can watch the original skits in these two parts:
Part 1
Part 2 Favorite quote, "Yo we just gave him some help."
Warning, it's pretty vulgar and not kid friendly. But it's also pretty funny.
I'll just say it. Obama is our Rick James. (without the hit songs like Superfreak) And in his mind at least, we're all just his bitches.

Obama's Kill Doctrine
Obama's Kill Doctrine - By Jonathan Turley | Foreign Policy
We'll keep living up to our rules and they'll scrawl our words on the missile aimed for our house, and howl with laughter as they watch the instant replay of the impact.
A fair question gentle reader might be, "What's your kill doctrine?"

New Website!
Updated: Video is now public at Youtubes. My error.
AttackWatchIII.com
There's a new site coming to help bring peace into the Threeper community. Here's the public service announcement for it:
Get the facts
Fight the smears
Attack Watch.com
Is where you can report attacks on fellow Threepers
If you read a suspicious website
If you heard a friend say something
If you think you heard a friend say something
If you heard a friend think something let us know
Mike Vanderboegh is writing a book that's so powerful that the ATF came up with Fast and Furious for the sole purpose of diverting his attention.
Concerned American whitens his teeth
But they're unnaturally white
And his last name is White.
Because he's a giant racist
It's not just attack watch, it's Attack Watch III!
Get it? With Roman numerals just like the III percent
And an overdeep narration voice.
Attack Watch III, because this time, it's personal.
Don't ask how we skipped Attack Watch 2 to get to Attack Watch III or else you'll be a Nazi, fartlick, lickspittle, informant snitch
Alvie D. Zane, what a douche!
He writes under a pen name he chose as a joke
And yet nobody gets the joke
Watch out for Arctic Patriot
He doesn't even live in the Arctic anymore.
In Kerodin's checkered past, he once bought tin foil
And he used an alias to get a library card.
He lies like the Devil
There's a snake on the Union Jack
The Honey Badger eats snakes.
Watch out for the Honey Badger or he'll eat your snake
Remember don't trust anyone over the internet
Don't trust anyone who uses an alias
Don't trust anyone with teeth that are too white
Don't trust people with unfinished books
Don't trust people who sell books
Don't trust people who give books away
Don't trust anyone
And then you can be free. Be your own leader. Be independent and be left alone to be a "militia of one"
Attack Waaaaaaaaaaaa...whatever.
_________
I guess it's a good thing that this peeing contest is being held in front of so few people. Why, otherwise it might fracture the enire liberty movement. On the other hand, it says a lot that this contest is being held before only a few people.
Congratulations and good luck getting to the top of the heap!
Oops! I bet I just went irrevocably, irretrevably, inevitably over the edge!!!!
A "Militia of One" indeed. We're all willing to be on the same team, so long as it's my team.
Can we get even more honest? A "Militia Of None" is where we're going. I'd come up with a visual for that, but the video ate my Saturday and I'm ready to do just about anything else.
As for the III theme, I'm dumping it. From today forward. We are the 0% and none of you are welcome in my movement!

Chewbacca sings!
This picture at WRSA...
...just got me to thinking about one of the funniest videos I've seen lately.
If you're in need of a little "blue pill", enjoy this song!
Hey Chewy! Can you sing My Country, My Ass?

Soundtrack for the Festivities!
Just thought I'd throw out some music as the soundtrack for the festivities.
Again, for those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
For those who don't understand, ask someone else.
This is The Death Of Rock And Roll by Todd Rundgren.
Just the other day I got a call from a friend
"I heard what you been playin' and I think it's a sin
Why can't you make a living like the rest of the boys
Instead of fillin' your head with all that synthesized noise?"
Jackals wait nearby, watching rock and roll die
And no one dared to help it
Vultures fill the sky
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
But we all got sold
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
The critics got together and they started a game
You get your records for nothing
and you call each other names
Things got out of hand and somebody got sore
Now we're all tuning up for the Rock and Roll War
Time to take up sides, helping rock and roll die
Pick up your check at the window
No one left to cry
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
But we all got sold
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
Nobody paid, nobody played, nobody stayed
Just my lonely guitar
Nobody paid, nobody stayed, nobody played
Just my lonely guitar
(guitar solo)
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll
It must be the Death of Rock
the Death of Rock and Roll
Said, thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
I thought we was supposed ta be free
I thought we was supposed ta, supposed ta be free
But we all got sold
It must be the Death of Rock and Roll

Coincidence
Does anyone else find it odd that on the same day Andrew Breitbart dies of natural causes at 43 that the
bomb squad is called to Rush Limbaugh's house on Palm Beach?
I'm sure it's just coincidence.
In other news, these guys were poisoned, but you can rest assured that this had absolutely nothing to do with The Most Interesting Comrade In World.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence. After all, who could ever believe that a political leader might try to eliminate potential pests prior to an election? Especially one who talks about bringing a gun to a knife fight, knowing whose ass to kick, or punching back twice as hard.
Nothing to see here.
