Reflections From a Murky Pond

Some creatures that infest this world defy easy classification. They dress in a close approximation of humans and have learn to mimic our speech with their foul mouthings, but cannot truly be said to have anything inside of them that is even vaguely reminiscent of humanity. They are bipedal vermin that are somehow – for reasons that totally escape me – allowed to live among people.

A Case In Point

The disgusting and pernicious maggot-in-vaguely-human-form, Samira Jassim, aka “Um al-Mumenin”, The Mother Of The Believers, was recently captured in Iraq.

This thing has confessed to organizing the rapes of 80 Iraqi women so that it could later convince them that martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame.

Before it was caged Samira Jassim worked with Sunni militants from the Ansar al-Sunnah group in Diyala province of central Iraq.  It helped them rape women so that it could convince them that being a suicide bomber was the only way to remove their shame for being raped. It admits to being successful in creating 28 female suicide bombers in this fashion and delivering them to their targets.

This dangerous mockery of a human should not be tried in any court of law. One should no more extend the justice system to it than one would extend it to a mad dog, a plague rat, or a Guinea worm. But, since it has a form of intelligence and self-awareness, exterminating it out of hand does not properly serve the needs of justice either.

A Fitting End

It should be stripped of the clothes it disguises itself in and brought to a public place. There, it should be hamstrung so that it can no longer mock mankind by walking as one of us. Its thumbs should be cut off as well so that it knows it can longer ape mankind by using tools. Then its tongue should be excised so that it can no longer foul our language with its crude mimicry.

After that is accomplished and its wounds cauterized, it should be raped – by dogs, since it would be wrong to force men to foul themselves in it – from sunup to sundown. Then it should be exterminated by giving it a blood transfusion from a pig. After the induced acute hemolytic reaction has done its gruesome work, the thing that called itself Samira Jassim’s corpse should be dumped in the nearest cesspit.

Then mankind should deliver a similar fate to the rest of the nest of Ansar al-Sunnah. The sooner their breed is made extinct, the sooner their foul stench will clear from Earth’s atmosphere. Remember always, war is waged against other men; this would be cleansing, a needful currettement that eliminates an infectious disease.

President Obama is somewhat chagrined over Tom Daschle’s withdrawal of his candidacy for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. In interviews with various MSM news outlets Obama stuck with a theme that seemed to admit that he had made some errors in judgment when it came to selecting his Cabinet Secretaries.

Here’s what President Obama said to FOX News on the issue,

I consider this a mistake on my part, one that I intend to fix and correct and make sure that we’re not screwing up again. Ultimately I have to take responsibility for a process that resulted in us not having a (Health and Human Services) secretary at a time when people need relief on their health care costs.

So this is a mistake — probably not the first one I’m going to be making in this office, but what I’m absolutely committed to doing is fixing it.

Interesting words from President Obama; I’m sure they’ll resonate well with both his followers and numerous other people. I think Americans in general will favor a President who admits to making mistakes in something reasonably close to plain speech. Eight years under President George W. Bush left people with a craving for such things – possibly rightfully so.

But one – if one is possessed of reason – has to wonder about the sincerity of the President’s admission of fallibility. Tom Daschle’s imbroglio with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is hardly a lone occurrence of personal wrongdoing – or seeming wrongdoing – on the part of Obama’s picks for high office.

During this afternoon, Tuesday February 3, 2009, President Obama will be conducting interviews with a large number – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX News – of the MSM television outlets in America . He’s trying his best to sell the American populace on the Democrats’ Stimulus Package. I think he’s a little worried about what happened in the US House of Representatives repeating itself in the US Senate – where it could actually make a difference.

Given the pork-laden nature of this Stimulus Package, and the fact that it’s nothing more than a Liberal wish-list being foisted upon Americans under the guise of economic repair, I’m not sure that Obama is going to go about selling this in the right way. President Obama may be too urban – and too urbane – to use the tried and true method of calling the herd to the trough.

Doris Probst: 2008 IL State Fair Hog Calling Champion

Maybe one of his fellow Illinoisans, Doris Probst, could lend our President a hand with this effort. She has a proven track record, as can been seen above, and I think she’d be a great asset to Obama when it comes to calling his faithful following.

I just posted on how Nancy Killefer withdrew her candidacy for US Chief Performance Officer because she couldn’t seem to pay her taxes correctly and on time.

Well, today is a busy day Democrats – Killefeger drops out in the morning and in the early afternoon, when Obama should be prepping for his interviews for shilling the Stimulus…

Tom Daschle, Obama’s choice for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, just withdrew his candidacy over the various tax evasion and potential corruption issues he was having.

That’s another one down – two in a single day.

Damn! Is it beyond their capabilities for Obama and his team to actually work this stuff out before announcing the nomination? Or it that they believe that it’s only Joe and Jane Sixpack who are expected to pay their taxes, and so are surpised when people have problems with their nominees for high office?

Upon his election President Obama created the Cabinet post of Chief Performance Officer (CPO). The purpose of this office is said to be to help improve government efficiency and reform budget practices. The CPO will also serve as the Office of Management and Budget’s deputy director for management. President Obama’s choice for the first person to hold this position was Nancy Killefer.

Obama said that Killefer will strive to find areas that “can make big change that lasts beyond the economic recovery plan and save taxpayer money over the long term.”

Obama said that Killefer was “uniquely qualified” to serve as the nation’s first CPO, calling her “an expert in streamlining processes and wringing out inefficiencies so that taxpayers and consumers get more for their money.”

There’s a problem though – Nancy Killefer has withdrawn her candidacy to be the first Chief Performance Officer for the US federal government because  it was discovered that she had failed for over year and a half to pay employment taxes on household help consisting of two nannies and a personal assistant. The D.C. Department of Employment Services had actually put a lien on her property for $946.69, which it still took Killefer almost 5 months to pay off. The lien was for $298 in unpaid taxes, $48.69 in interest and $600 in penalties.

Can you say, “Oops!” I thought you could. 😉

How, pray tell, can anyone expect a woman who doesn’t bother to keep her house in order to keep the federal government’s programs and budgets in order? Does Obama, his advisers, and his transition team even bother to vett his choices?
