And the score so far: 9 stories that help the Democrats; 1 that doesn't help either side and 0 stories that err on the side of the Republicans.
It looks like the producers of 60 Minutes are reading these words, so read the next few words carefully:
We on the Right do not trust you -- find a way to earn that trust and your audience grows. Full Stop.
Now there are two stories tonight worth counting. Ready, go!
Story 1 -- Anger in the Heartland -- Scott Pelley does a decent jon asking "What happened in 2007?" But why does Scott Pelley never ask "What has happened to business' and banks since 2009?" Ask that question around the country and you might understand Tea partiers (i.e. Fiscal Conservatives) and why President Obama has lost the independents. This one is only a tie. 2 ties so far -- Scott Pelley does not ask the right questions.
Story 2 -- Taxing the Rich -- Fire Lesley Stahl! She starts the story using David Stockman to attack current Republicans. And then she spends most of the article hanging out with Bill Gates and his father.
In these Technological cutting edge regions (like Silicon Valley or Boston's Route 128), why doesn't 60 Minutes hire someone who understands the micro- and macro-economics and technological engines? If Seattle (Home of the great Lady of the Manners of Gothic Charm School), has succeeded without a State Income tax, Both Gates' are Democrats, isn't that pulling the ladder up after they succeeded?
This is Saturday Night/Sunday Morning in October, so of course it's time for the last of the Doctor Who Horror fest!
I spent the night hanging out my friend Lynne, and her very cute dog (You have to see her dog, she is very cute :} )
This week, I will spending Tuesday Night at Henry's Hat at Merlin Froyd's Victory party; For all my Los Angeles candidate friends, I will say prayers and cross fingers.
On Tuesday, I will track some major Senate races around the country, but I will focus on my hometown of Los Angeles and the state of California.
Why am I not really celebrating Halloween this year? I'm Gothing it every month, so I feel I celebrate it every month.
This week's episode is romance, Italy and vampires or Vampires in Venice.

To work in the Senate, you can use the rhetoric against the other Party, but, even Senator Ted Kennedy knew that, to get things done, you had to cut deals.
In the past two Congress', as Chair of the Environmental committee, Boxer only passed 5 (yes FIVE!) Bills where she sponsored. Any Senator can co-sponsor any Bill floating through, but to sponsor a bill and put it through, that means getting along with your colleagues, and as proven: She can't.
She is not in the Senate leadership, she chairs an important Committee to California (water issues?), her Office is not known for Constituent services (that's Feinstein) she only passed 5 Bills in 4 years, so what does she do with her time? Do her Colleagues like her?
This commercial by Fiorina won me over:
I may be a Partisan on the Political side, but I understand to do policy, you need to argue for your State in the closed rooms.
Every single one of Boxer's commercials is all about how "Fiorina is bad," not on any work that has actually been done by Boxer for California. I guess Boxer has not driven down Ventura or Wilshire Boulavard recently....
If Boxer cannot even care about California's water, why should any Californian vote for Senator Boxer?
This post is going to be quick, the next post will be more detailed.
At this point, the CAGOP, LAGOP, and the SFVRC all match. Except for the top race, these are my votes too.
We are going down the list (quickly):
The Valley endorses NO ONE for the Governor's race. Why? More information after the election, but remember these two words: Southland Fundraiser. That is all. That is all.
My idealism say vote "YES;" My pragmatism says "NO,"
I'll follow my idealism on this one.
Props 20 and 27 --Re-districting Prop 20 says citizens can re-district Congress, Prop. 27 brings that process to the State assembly. The people already voted for the citizens commission in 2008 with Prop. 11; Prop 20 contuinues that course, Prop 27 shuts it down.
Prop 21 -- Tax your car for State parks -- I love parkland, and I love driving. This car tax was what caused Gov. Grey davis (and a bit of karma too) to get recalled. Yes, adding $18 seems nice, but does anyone know if the funds will go where it should?
If california cannot fnd money beecause of there is notr enough taxpayers (business or people), they shouldn't grab the funds from anywhere else. Make the State Tax friendy to get those funds. Texas is beating California economically where they don't affect their localities..
Prop 25 and 26 - Changing the California State Budget process - 25 allows the California to be passed with a simple majority (It needs a 2/3 to pass) and 26 means the State cannot pass any tax or fees without a 2/3 majority.
My vote is simple, like in 08, when the Democrats won everything and given the Keys to the Kingdom, the public saw how bad they did; Let the majority pass the budget come what may.
Glenn Reynolds and JimHoft are documenting the Zombie and Ghost Voters. (Wanna bet the Liberals will still whing about Election 2000 Overtime). Read those posts first and then come back here.
My solution for stopping Zombie and Ghost Voters?
1) Photo ID with current address - It's called a Drivers license. Try getting some business done without one. If you don't live in an area that is car dependent (Hello New York City!), you still need a photo ID to use your Credit card. If no credit card, try doing business with the Government without correct ID. It can be done, but the Democrats always stop these bills.
Wonder why?
2) No same-day Voter registration -- Voting is about knowing who is good for your community; Provincialism should reign here. If people Register and Vote the same day, how can their address and Identity's be confirmed? Too much IF'S here.
Again, Democrats support this, why?
and 3) Any candidate who wins by Cheating should be thrown out.Governor Gregoire and Senator Franken would be out of office if that was the case. (Those elections occured in 04 and 08, and yet the Left will still Whing about Election 2000 Overtime)
First, the best Blogger on the scene is, of course, Robert McCain [1, 2]
Now here is why you should subscribe to the Valley. I warned every campaign that the False Flags were coming. And by G-d, Kentucky is the first sign!
Here is what I noticed in False Flag video [Video #2]:
A) Lauren Valle is a professional agitator. In this era of security, what was she trying to do? Hint: She wasn't being friendly. The Left destroyed Civility during the last administration; Their hatred of Bush fils and Palin always excuses the Left from ever saying "We're sorry," Senator Byrd (D-KKK) can vote against Condi Rice (twice) and Justice Thomas, but no Leftie will ever call out racism from within their own ranks (or Anti-semites either, as noted during earlier iterations of the Valley). Hatred of Conservatives is fine and anything is allowed I await the day the Left stops needing American Emmanuel Goldstein's.
I will talk about True Political Civility after my endorsements are done.
2) The people around Lauren Valle were calling for the Police. Full Stop. The crowd of Paulites wanted the Police to be there. For the Left, like using the "RAAAAACISM,"(but not one word about the attacks on Condi Rice or Justice Thomas) so that it becomes a way of shutting people up, blaming one Paulite is to blame all the Conservatives, Republicans and tea partiers. We read Alinsky too. The tactics have thrown the general public into the Republican's camp. Try not using arguments from 1964.
3) Tim Proffitt got served by the Police and the Rand Paul campaign followed up with an apology. Proffitt was the guy who put his foot on her head. (Valle was still able to speak to the press afterword). If you are a Political agitator, expect to get hurt. Proffitt was wrong and I'm unashamed to say that. Don't hit women, but if you agitate, don't expect kid gloves.
Conclusions
Between the False Flags and the Zombie and Ghost voters, the Democrats are (again) hitting below the belt to win. If you want to win, play fair. Unless you're still whinging about Election 2000 Overtime, that that is a pathetic reason to keep up this crap.
My question: Why do the Democrats need Ghost and Zombie Voters and False Flags to win? Can't they just say "Do you support what we did on Capitol Hill?" I have not heard ONE Federal Democratic Incumbent ask that question. Hmmmmm.......
I see that my work here is creating some, but very little, progress at 60 Minutes.
So far, for 60 Minutes 43rd season, the score is still 9 stories for the Democrats and 0 for the Republicans.
And now everyone (see memeorandum thread) is shocked about 1! ONE! story.
However, it still does not pass the Valley's smell test.
And here is where I appeal to my readers and Blog friends to contact Dana Loesch to publish this series on Big Journalism.
Now let's fisk this weeks stories on 60 Minutes.
Story 1) The 99'ers -- Scott Pelley did a great service with this article, but he what? Not why? If he asked why businesses are not hiring? Why are banks not lending? What is the cause? He (and the 60 Minutes Producers) would not like where that story would go. That is why the election 2010 is occurring in the Republicans favor.
This is only a tie, they don't ask why is this happening as News magazines should.
The other two stories are nice ones, but non-political before election day. Wonder why?
Final score so far: 9 -1 - 0.
Now here is my list of people who should be earning six figure salaries at CBS who know how to ask the 5 W's on every story they write.
1. Pamela Geller (If you don't know in the Valley, don't ask)
A late October Saturday night which means another scary Doctor Who!
Right now, I am still looking for the Day Job before my Birthday (The Dream Job I cannot move on until after Election Day) -- and my Birthday is coming soon. (Check your in-box to see if you are invited)
And this week, I am planning out my Non-fiction book as well. More news post-election.
I am thinking of a Three Act Night for my 40th Birthday (G-d I'm old!) . More on that later as we get closer. (Hit my Tip Jar or Amazon Wishlist if you want to help)
While I am filled with ideas, whether Policy (I am available to work as Congressional staff after the Election), fundraising or writing/research, I enjoy getting paid for doing them. Just shoot me an email on any of those three, and I will respond within 24 hours.
And this week: Los Angeles and California State Endorsements, including Propositions!
The Seventh Doctor and Mel (a beautuiful Redhead!) are lost in an apartment complex that has fallen apart, what has risen is what makes it good for a late October night!
In the last 12 days before the end of Election 2010, two things are afoot: Halloween is close, so the worry of Zombie voters and Vampiric attacks along with the last punches of Obama's Empire is occurring. These attacks are going after people I know as well as playing loose with the facts.
If you notice the Obama Empire (and their media friends), they always advertise their attacks and their target. The Left always needs an Emmanuel Goldstein, and because of their NEED for one, it always helps to see who to defend. (If the Left did not NEED an Emmanuel Goldstein, they would lose half of their campaign rhetoric.)
To quote Robert Plant: Do you remember laughter? Because many political professionals were laughing (and still are today).
The US Chamber of Commerce is a representation of the local Chambers of Commerce. They know about how jobs are created then the Obama Empire. If you know anything about how DC works, the lobbyists reprsent the locals, from Unions to Industries.
When True Conservatives and Republicans lose, they take their lumps, learn their lessons, and try to convince the public in the next election. (Those who lose the primaries and running this cycle are known as RINO's)
The Democrats have run Congress since 2007; And they have owned the whole Government lock and stock since 2009. You cannot blame the minority Republicans in Congress if people don't like your proposals.
The word, ladies and gentleman is Hypocrites. If you complain about funding when you're losing, you are Whinging. And yes, the Left is truly whinging it in 2010.
And yet, like George Foreman in Zaire, President Obama and the Liberals telegraph their punches.
Even though the public voted for President Obama in 08, his losing Congress in 10 is because the public is "RAAAAACIST!"
This yelling of "RAAAAACISM!" by the NAACP is a political attack, not a moral one.
It's why the Elected Republicans don't listen to NOW anymore -- if a Democrat President like President Bill Clinton sexually harasses his underlings, he gets a pass; If Senator Packwood gets accused of the same exact thing, they send him to the wall. So, is sexual harassment wrong or isn't it? For feminists, it depends on the political letter after your name.
When all else fails, don't believe the voters don't like what you're selling, call them RAAAACISTS!
How does that help?
Vampire attacks and Zombie Voters
And now, if you remember the book (or 1979 TV movie) of 'Salems Lot, the tactics of Democrats and their media friends follows Kurt Barlow's takeover of The Lot..
If you want to know why Republicans are running on not playing nice with Democrats or President Obama, look to how the Connecticut Senate race in 06. Reap what you sow, liberals.
'Salems Lot was a dying town in the early 70's and Kurt Barlow entered and took over. The Democrats won in 08 because of the financial meltdown -- did they fix it? With a super majority in the House and Senate, they chose to scare the public with cap and trade and Obamacare.
The empty storefronts around every city opens the door to a vampire menace, but the tea Partyiers shine the light the Obama Empire does not want the public to see. The RAAAACISM charge is fading like a vampire in sunlight -- it doesn't work anymore.
The NAACP, NOW and the Media are Straker to the Democrat's Barlow. It is time to call them out.
The Obama Empire has only one punch -- blame others, never back up any staff in trouble. When the House and Senate Oversight committees fall in GOP hands, investigate, subpoena and televise those connections.
In these last two weeks, every Blogger, candidate and staff should highlight that Democrats always whine "If we don't win, you cheat," all the time. It's all they know.
In these last two weeks, back up our candidates and fight for the light. How many jobs did the Obama Empire create vs. the Chamber of Commerce? Hint: A lot less.
Stand firm and fight the demons of the Left. We stand in sunlight while the Obama Empire tries to crush us all.
We are the Muhammad Ali in 1965; The media and their compatriots always "Boo" our people, but we have more then one type of punch. Watch and learn:
My question: How do you plan to fight back? And why have the Democrats used the same rhetoric since 1964?
We are coming into the final two weeks in the campaign; As the rain falls on the freeways, the media is focused on other states and cities.
As everyone in Los Angeles knows, every promise made by one person and their staff at the top of the ticket have not come to pass -- not keeping promises (when circumstances DO allow) is one of the biggest loser of activist votes the anything else. And that has hurt us all in Los Angeles.
I will discuss more about the above paragraph after the Election. Now let's get psyched!
After election night, I hope to play the sequel to this tune.
Here are some more ways to win:
1) Think like an Artist: The game might be politics, but we are in one of the creative Capitols of the Nation. There are actors, directors, fashionistas, fanboys, musicians and Goths here. Most of the voters within Los Angeles County are tied some way into the Industry (Movie, TV or music or all three); Appeal to there artistic ideals and that is one more vote (or group of votes). And our County and State party should be venturing into SAG, DGA, etc. to make friends and contacts. Why? They are our voters.
2) Find and focus on your local issues: Whether you campaign in North Hollywood, Northridge, Watts, West Adams, San Pedro or East Hollywood, local issues rule. Find out when the future constituents in your district last saw their Congressman. In the 30th CD, no one has ever seen Henry Waxman walk down Wilshire or eat in the Farmer's market in the last five years. More stories like this are around LA. Also, what is the issue that motivates your voters? Water issues? High crime rates? Lack of Business? Ask (as I'm sure you all are doing) and when you are in office, make two promises (that you keep):
A) Constituent Service that is available to ALL in the Congressional District. The House budgets for offices in the District, use it.
B) Walk around the District when you are home -- see and be seen; And always have a good word for your Constituents on or off the Hill.
3) Always Cross-promote! (with a smile) I know two of the best candidates in the region: Mattie Fein and Merlin Froyd (Donate to both of them) . Merlin is always campaigning and he always has a smile. Mattie Fein is fighting hard in a difficult district, and again, she wins over her future constituents with a smile too. If you are able to talk to groups with people from many districts, always say a good word about other candidates this cycle. Karma pays off well in the game of Politics. Don't believe me? Ask Grey Davis about Karma in politics.
4) Watch out for Zombie voting: The Democrats run Los Angeles from top to bottom. Be sure to have your partisans as Pollwatchers in throughout your Congressional district. LA knows what Chicago does, be careful. The only way to stop a Zombie Voter is to confirm they are alive and living at a current address. Have your pollwatchers know your district!
Finally, I will Blog Election Night at a party, please have Wi-fi available.
After the election, I will write some more California Encyclicals; The Why's and How's of LA Election Night, Heroes and villains within LA and CA GOP circles, and how to prep for Election 2012.
Also, I am putting together a book on Winning in Los Angeles and why the rest of the country should follow OUR lead. (with help from Robert Stacy McCain) I will give many props to my friends.
My question: What numbers do you see for Election Night in LA? Who wins? Who loses?
If it's Monday (or Sunday), it's time to see if the 60 Minutes team is still playing ball with Democrats.
And as we get close to Congressional control, it should be time to determine how much CBS and the 60 Minutes staff should be fined for in-kind contributions. And hey, this fisking can be put on Big Journalism if Dana Loesch agrees.
The score so far: 7 - 0 articles for the Democrats.
Round 4 begins........NOW!
Article 1) The City of David -- Lesley Stahl should be fired for ONLY taking the Palestinian side of the debate. Heck, Liberals always take the side of terrorists (Code Pink going to help Hamas with help from Senator Boxer? Where is that 60 Minutes story?). I am disgusted by Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes not once taking the side of Israel in this debate. Peace will come to Israel and the Palis when the Pali's put their weapons away and build schools and roads. If you stop attacking your neighbors, you can actually do business with them. But Lesley Stahl will never say that. 8 - 0.
Article 2) Homeless Veterans -- Scott Pelley puts this article out to attack Bush's policy of Wilsonianism. The veterans are being used cover President Obama's failure with the unemployment figures. Did Pelley do any correlation between Obama's policies and the Unemployment figures? NOPE. Scott Pelley, tool. 9 - 0.
It's Autumn, Halloween season and it's also Saturday which means it's Doctor Who night!
After the Election, I will go back on schedule with the Fourth Doctor, season 14 and after. But for now, we will do some scary Who stories for this week and next week.
I have a job waiting for me in Washington, DC if one of my candidate friends wins in Los Angeles (Which one? Vote for all the Los Angeles GOP candidates in your area and you'll find out!). On the Hill, I will work as an Legislative Assistant on Appropriations. Also, should the tide not hit Los Angeles, I will be planning to help the California Republican Party Magnolia Office in the next cycle (If you are running (1, 2) for Chair of the CRP 2011, contact me). Also, I am prepping to write a non-fiction book about Politics, policy and Los Angeles after this election cycle is over.
Whether I work in DC or LA, I will be happy to be working again.
When I was younger, after the Great New York City Black Out, I learned from my late father to be a radio listener. Now whenever I drive (or during the day), I listen to my favorite talk radio (Limbaugh, Hannitty, Mark Levin), and then I jump around and listen to the Liberal versions (Thom Hartmann, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, the latter two are Nazguls), some occasional NPR (Right, Left and Center and their business show and show business show), but the true prize is listening to KPFK, Pacifica radio in Los Angeles. Based in North Hollywood.
The whole basis of Pacifica Radio is hatred of Conservatives, Republicans and Tea Partiers. Not love of fellow Americans who differ, but absolute HATRED.
Let's break some more numbers why 8,000 supporters in Los Angeles is all they will get:
2) Considering KPFK needs funds, the hatred of Companies and business' means, in this economy (especially with the unemployment numbers in Los Angeles) no one is hiring KPFK's listeners. Well done! It's hard to get funds when no one is hiring. And hating business? That's another selling point for us on the Right every election. Heh.
4) Being Conspircy Theory central angers the rest of us Americans. No 9/11 conspiracies; No Kennedy conspiracies involving everyone who is Right of Rep. Chisholm. Conspiracy theorists don't make a lot of monies and friends. Feeding these ideas makes KPFK look like crazy people. then again, maybe you are -- again, hence, no funds beyond 8,000 people in a 9 million person town.
Let me help KPFK make more funds, here's how:
A) Stop hating on Jews, Israel, Conservatives, Republicans, Tea Partiers, Governor Palin, President Bush and everyone else. If you actually listened to Rush Limbaugh or Sean hannitty, they just hold the Liberals to their own standards. Don't like it? Stop making the personal, political.
B) If you want to have political shows, have your local hosts stay on for 3 hours, five days a week. If Rush and Hannitty can do it, so can your people. Try not to do A though.
C) How about interviewing people whose views differ on different shows? Otherwise, KPFK is just a circle jerk and don't expect more then 8,000 people to donate.
D) Stop leaning on the past. If you want to be leaders, lead. Don't rely on memories of older fights. Wait! That's a Tea Party idea and we all know how KPFK loves the tea Partiers.
My question: Why does KPFK traffic in Hate Speech and expect monies for it?
2) Nelson Mandela -- An International well-known, well-loved figure. The story was done in soft lighting. But would Bob Simon do the same for Governor Sarah Palin?I doubt it. Prove me wrong, Bob Simon. This article is not part of the count.
3) Eminem -- Notice how Anderson Cooper does kids, animals and Hollywood stars for 60 Minutes? Even CBS knows he is a lightweight. Another Anderson Cooper story doing "White Man's Burden," Again. No politics here.
The score so far: 7 - 0 for the Democrats by 60 Minutes.
Now, let's talk about Andy Rooney.
Did you ever notice he doesn't seem to understand people who are under 120 years old? Did you ever notice he goes places where the hoi polloi cannot imagine (How many Super Bowls, Mr Rooney?) Did you ever notice his eyebrows are like Cybermats? Ready to jump off and attack?
If I were a producer on 60 Minutes, here are three people (whose eyebrows are not scary) who should replace Andy Rooney:
1) Alfonzo Rachel knows how to be interesting. Watch here:
2) Andrew Klavan is a little more low key, and also very funny. Watch!
3) And finally, the great Dana Loesch (pronounced Lash). Again, enjoy!
My question: Out of these three great people, who should replace Andy Rooney?
Getting back into the groove, let's catch up with the Experiment:
Does 60 Minutes work to help the Democrats?
So far the score is 3 - 0 for that theory.
Let's check out 8/3/10's episode:
1) Unfinished Business -- Leslie Stahl takes the Code Pink view that going into Iraq was a waste, and no matter what the people on the ground say, nothing in Iraq will turn out well. I suggest you speak to Malcot Israel's husband on the good work he did over there. Leslie Stahl's attitude is because a GOP President made that decision, by default, it is horrible. Another article for the Democrats.
3) The Gates Foundatuion -- Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, interviewed by Scott Pelley. There is a "White Man's Burden," vibe to this article. "Isn't is wonderful how Bill Gates is giving money to poor countries with alot of non-white people?"How about more Democracies and less corruption in those countries? Oh, and Bill Gates is a major donor to the Democratic Party. Scott Pelley remains a tool in this article too.
The score for those keeping track: 6 - 0 articles by 60 Minutes that help Democrats.
