Pancake Rage … Amy Bishop UA-Huntsville Alleged Professor Killer) Was was Charged with Assault in 2002 IHOP Dispute

Did Pancake rage lead to the escalation of Tenure rage?

Another day and another previous troubling charge for Amy Bishop, the biology professor who is accused of murdering three professors at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. Amy Bishop has been charged with capital murder, she also some 24 years ago shot and killed her brother, but is was mysteriously deemed an accidental shooting death.

Now, we are presented with yet another blast from the past down police arrest memory lane with professor Amy Bishop …

According to the Boston Globe, in March, 2002, Amy Bishop walked into an International House of Pancakes (IHOP) in Peabody, MA with her family, asked for a booster seat for one of her children, learned the last seat had gone to another mother and them punched her in the head.

Are you serious? What a loose canon this woman was with the propensity to fly off the handle.

Bishop, according to a police report, strode over to the other woman, demanded the seat and launched into a profanity-laced rant.

When the woman would not give the seat up, Bishop punched her in the head, all the while yelling “I am Dr. Amy Bishop.”

Bishop received probation and prosecutors recommended that she be sent to anger management classes, though it is unclear from court documents whether a judge ever sent her there.

Wow, what’s up with the high browed elitist from Massachusetts, “I am Amy Bishop”. That sounds an awful lot like the famed “don’t you know who I am” from the mouth of MA Senator John Kerry.

We will go out on a limb and say that Amy Bishop did not learn much from her anger management classes, that is if she attended at all.

The Globe said Bishop received probation and prosecutors recommended that she be sent to anger management classes. It’s unclear if she ever went. The victim in the assault declined to talk to the Boston newspaper.

NOBAMA: Change You Can Believe In … 52% of Americans Say Obama Does Not Deserve Reelection in 2012

No he can’t and talk about some real hope and change from the American voters.

In a stunning CNN poll, 52% of Americans think that The One should be one and done. That is correct, by a 52% to 44% vote, We the People say that Barack Hussein Obama does not deserve to be reelected in 2012. My what a difference a year makes.  Obama’s reelection is not until 2012; however, the 2010 midterms by all accounts are predicted to be disastrous for Democrats.

This was part of a CNN poll that stated that that there was an anti-incumbent sentiment among the public as only 34% feel that current federal lawmakers deserve re-election, while 63% say they should not. Even though this CNN poll is harsh on incumbents, both Democrat and Republican, there are other indicators that show that Republicans have the upper hand in 2010 with the voters. Republicans lead Democrats in the Generic Congressional ballot by 9 points, that spells disaster in the midterms. In poll after poll after poll, Republicans lead US Senate races in an attemopt to take back control.

Only a third of U.S. voters think that most members of Congress deserve to be re-elected this year, according to a new national poll. That’s the lowest number ever recorded for that question in a CNN survey.

The numbers on both questions are even lower than in 1994, when an anti-incumbent fever helped Republicans win back control of both the House and the Senate from Democrats. The trend line on those questions goes back to 1991, when they were first asked.

“This is not a good year to be an incumbent, regardless of which party you belong to,” said CNN polling director Keating Holland. “Voters seem equally angry at both Republicans and Democrats this year.”

All political polling indicators point to the fact that 1994 might be child’s play compared what is about to happen to Democrats in the 2010 midterms.

2012 … NOBAMA!!!

EPIC FAILURE … Only 6% of Americans Believe the $787 Billion Stimulus Bill Created Jobs

It’s all about the economy stupid …

More Hope and Change you can believe in … Hey America how is that “hopee, changee” thing working out for ya? Can you say EPIC FAILURE.

How is that $787 billion Obama jobs bill working out? No longer are Democrats talking about how such massive spending will keep unemployment at 8%, in fact they are all but keeping quiet on the colossal spending failure.

Unbelievable, from a CBS poll via the Gateway Pundit … only 6% of Americans believe that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill created jobs. Let us repeat that, 6%!!!

Lawmakers and administration officials alike have largely avoided talk of how many jobs their various proposals will create. It’s unlike last year, when the Obama administration argued for its $787 billion stimulus by saying it would keep the jobless rate from rising far beyond 8 percent. The current rate is 9.7 percent, down slightly from its 10.2 percent peak in October.

The Obama Administration has constantly thrown out a multitude of various numbers as to the amount of jobs that the stimulus package has created. Why not give numerous one up, they have no idea as they are just making it up and it appears the people are on to their game.  The American public is not buying any of it.

A recent Rasmussen poll showed that most Americans did not believe President Obama’s rhetoric regarding the economy. When the number one issue in the country is jobs and the economy and the America people do not trust you … OBAMA, YOU GOT A BIG PROBLEM.

Pakistani-American Raid Captures Taliban’s Top Commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar

Chalk one up for the forces against evil.  Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban’s top military commander has been captured in Karachi, Pakistan, in a secret joint operation by Pakistani. According to reports, Mullah Baradar has been in Pakistani custody with American and Pakistani intelligence officials taking part in interrogations.

The commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is an Afghan described by American officials as the most significant Taliban figure to be detained since the American-led war in Afghanistan started more than eight years ago. He ranks second in influence only to Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban’s founder and a close associate of Osama bin Laden before the Sept. 11 attacks.

Interrogated, what no Miranda rights and an attorney provided? Flopping Aces has the contrasting differences as to how the LEFT and RIGHT perceive this victory in the war on terror and how to proceed. Michelle Malkin asks the question that we all would like to know regarding this big fish capture … “What would Eric Holder say?”

I do have to chuckle about the following comment from the NY Times article regarding printing potentially sensitive information. Because they always followed this policy when George W. Bush was in office, didn’t they?

The Times is publishing the news now because White House officials acknowledged that the capture of Mullah Baradar was becoming widely known in the region.

Several American government officials gave details about the raid on the condition that they not be named, because the operation was classified.

I think it is important to note that Pakistan participated in this capture and is openly saying so. Congrats all the way around on the capture.

Washington Senate Election 2010: Patty Murray (D) Trails Dino Rossi (R) 46% to 48% … Will Rossi Run is the Question

Is it possible that Democrats could lose the Senate seat in Washington State too? In the most recent Rasmussen poll, incumbent Patty Murray trails Republican challenger Dino Rossi by 2% points, 46% to 48%.

However, so far Rossi claims that he is not interested in running. With all of the action going on in the Senate and the potential Republican take over, it would be a shame if Rossi do not compete. If he does not, Murray has a double digit lead over the rest of the other GOP challengers and will certainly retain the seat.

The potential vulnerability is highlighted when Murray is matched against Dino Rossi, the unsuccessful GOP candidate in the state’s last two gubernatorial contests. Certainly the best-known of the Republicans, Rossi attracts 48% of the vote in a match-up with Murray while the incumbent earns 46%. One percent (1%) like another candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

But Rossi, despite encouragement from many Republicans, says so far that he’s not interested in running for the Senate.

Evan Bayh says Bye, Bye to US Senate … Will Not Seek Reelection in 2010

Stunning news from Indiana … Evan Bayh will not seek reelection to the US Senate from Indiana in the 2010 midterms. The news comes as a tremendous blow to Democrats that are already facing severe losses in the midterms. No one saw this one coming and is a crushing blow to Reid and Democrats.

Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh will not seek re-election this year, he announce Monday, a decision that hands Republicans a prime pickup opportunity in the middle of the country.

“After all these years, my passion for service to my fellow citizens is undiminished, but my desire to do so by serving in Congress has waned,” Bayh said at a press conference in Indianapolis.

Bayh cited the lack of bipartisan comity as one of the main reasons for the decision. “There is too much partisanship and not enough progress — too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving,” he said. “Even at a time of enormous challenge, the peoples’ business is not being done.” He specifically cited the recent vote that killed the creation of a debt commission as evidence of the partisan gridlock.

Gee Senator Bayh, you might want to look in the mirror and take a good look at your accusations of the Senates lack of bipartisan politics, too much partisanship, not enough progress and too much narrow ideology. You might just be talking about your self and not the false moderate that you claimed to be. Partisan ideology?
