If this fund raising proclivity had been displayed by Rudy, Mitt, Fred, Duncan, Tom, or even the G-43, this would be a scandal. Instead, however, this shake down of illegal alien and legal Chinese natives in NYC will barely make a ripple because it’s been done by Her Thighness, Hillary Rotten Clinton (thank you Mark Levin 2-5pm on KPAM 860).
At least the LA Times is on it but the headline clearly, purposely UNDERsells the issue,

AN UNLIKELY TREASURE TROVE OF DONORS FOR CLINTON:

Many of Clinton’s Chinatown donors said they had contributed because leaders in neighborhood associations told them to. In some cases, donors said they felt pressure to give.
The other piece of the strategy involves holding out hope that, if Clinton becomes president, she will move quickly to reunite families and help illegal residents move toward citizenship. As New York’s junior senator, Clinton has expressed support for immigrants and greater family reunification. She is also benefiting from Chinese donors’ naive notions of what she could do in the White House.
As with other campaigns looking for dollars in unpromising places, the Clinton operation also has accepted what it later conceded were improper donations. At least one reported donor denies making a contribution. Another admitted to lacking the legal-resident status required for giving campaign money.
…several dozen were described in financial reports as holding jobs — including dishwasher, server or chef — that would normally make it difficult to donate amounts ranging from $500 to the legal maximum of $2,300 per election.
Of 74 residents of New York’s Chinatown, Flushing, the Bronx or Brooklyn that The Times called or visited, only 24 could be reached for comment.
Many said they gave to Clinton because they were instructed to do so by local association leaders. Some said they wanted help on immigration concerns. And several spoke of the pride they felt by being associated with a powerful figure such as Clinton.
A man named Liang Zheng was listed as having contributed $1,000. The address given was a large apartment building on East 194th Street in the Bronx, but no one by that name could be located there.
Another listed donor, Yi Min Liu, said he did not make the $1,000 contribution in April that was reported in his name. He said he attended a banquet for Clinton but did not give her money.

Cue the Chinese monks, “no controlling legal authority,” and Bagman Gore. Frankly, I’m shocked she wasn’t able to kill this piece like she did the one in GQ.

From Business Week comes this tantalizing tale of using dubious green credits (carbon offsets) that companies tout to make themselves look better to the enviros. See the story here. Then comes the observation that, uh, oh, Walmart leads the pack. Sorry Sam. Sorry Randy.

Amid the overheated claims, some corporations have made legitimate environmental gains. Wal-Mart Stores (WMT ) helped spark the market for energy-saving fluorescent bulbs by giving them top billing, even though incandescent bulbs are more profitable. Office Depot overhauled lighting and energy in more than 600 stores, contributing to the company’s real 10% decline in releases of heat-trapping gases. Dow Chemical (DOW ) and DuPont (DD ) have significantly trimmed their actual emission levels. But there is still reason to worry about long-term commitment. Dow says it invested $1 billion to help achieve reductions of 19% between 1994 and 2005.

So called REC’s (renewable energy credits) have found a critic in the Aspen Skiing Environmental Director who says that “REC’s have as much effect on the development of new renewable-energy projects as would trading rocks, IOUs or pinecones.”

As discussed on the show (here )with the reporters on Wednesday…No WONDER Sam the Tram, Mayor Moonbeam and the Rainbow City Council say they can’t afford to maintain roads and MUST INCREASE TAXES (here)! They’re too busy stuffing lettuce into Homer’s pockets,here. And paying off citizens to be the streetcar’s best friends here. And giving away taxpayers’ money to candidate law breakers here.
When this kind of thing happens in another city and we read about it in the newspapers we call it corruption. What do you call it when it happens right under your nose?

From constitutional law attorney and Director of the Defense of Veterans Memorials Project of the American Legion, Rees Lloyd, who says the Veterans Administration has dictated that folds 11 and 12 of the flag folding ceremony invoking the Christian and Jewish God have been cleansed from the ceremony due to complaints.

I salute you for breaking the news on the VA banning of the Flag Folding Ceremony at National Cemeteries. It is an outrage. I anticipate the California State Veterans Cemeteries will do the same thing, surrendering to secular-cleansing atheists and the ACLU, or Muslims who are offended by our American history or heritage being evidenced in the public square. That is, after all, a Christian heritage informed by Biblical judaic and Christian values and principles. Not a single Muslim participated in the creation of America, but they most definitely contributing to its destruction.

From Focus on the Family is the explanation of the ceremony:

“The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in the eternal life.” Folds 11 and 12 are the ones that led the atheists to challenge.“The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.”But the Air Force has replaced that unofficial script with an official one that contains no religious references. [emphasis added]

This is the way in which members of the service expect to be remembered and celebrated. Atheists are saying no.

The Portland Tribune is reporting that the Multnomah County Sheriff is being investigated and will go on what is tantamount to a trial over his public comments on knowing or not knowing about the Goldschmidt rape AND over his relationship with the wife of the former Multnomah County Crime Commission.
The investigation is by Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training so my earlier speculation that maybe Governor Kulongoski would also be investigated wouldn’t be done by this group. But it does make you wonder if there should be some investigation. If Giusto is in trouble over that what about Ted Kulongoski? For the details on the allegations into the sordid piece of Oregon’s past go here.

Tell me why it’s so important to capitulate to Muslims right now when we’re in a war with their worst elements?

New York’s iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said.

“This is the first time that the Empire State Building will be illuminated for Eid, and the lighting will become an annual event in the same tradition of the yearly lightings for Christmas and Hannukah,” according to a statement.

Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month, is expected to be celebrated in New York from Friday, depending on when the new moon is sighted, and the city’s tallest skyscraper will remain green until Sunday.

Didn’t the worst of the crazy Islamofascists already demolish three New York buildings (yes, I’m including building 7 9/11 truthers)?
