__Audi’s
Gorewellian
Super Bowl
___ad


Jonah Goldberg

_____February 9th, 2010

The L.A. Times

The automakers Green Police spot

drives home a disturbing notion about
environmentalism and the future.

I watched the Super Bowl

in the chilled air of the GFISZ
(that’s Goldberg Family Ice Station Zebra).

Here in Washington,
we haven’t seen this much
snow since at least 1922.

The blizzard of 2010 took
out our electricity for a day.

Digging out from “snowmaggedon” was
nothing less than an Augean challenge,
though my lower back is,
alas,
less than Herculean.

Meanwhile,
snow canceled my daughter’s 7th birthday
party Saturday and her school Monday.

We’re slated for another foot by Wednesday.


Suffice to say I’m not panicing
about Global Warming right now.


Perhaps that’s why I was bemused
and intrigued by Audi’s Super Bowl ad.

Audi’s “Green Police”

(available on YouTube)

depicts an America where citizens are
arrested — roughly —
for even minor environmental infractions.

A man at the supermarket asks for
a plastic shopping bag and has his head
slammed against the counter as he’s
cuffed by a Green Police officer.

“You picked the wrong day
to mess with the ecosystem,
plastic boy,”
quips the cop.

When officers find a battery in
the wrong suburban garbage bin,
one big cop yells,
“Battery!
Let’s go!
Take the house!”

It’s a fascinating commercial.

They even got Cheap Trick to rerecord
“Dream Police” as “Green Police” for
the soundtrack.

But just as the satire becomes enjoyable,
the message changes.

Until the pitch for Audi intrudes,
you’d think it was a fun parody
from a right-wing free-market outfit
about the pending dystopian
environmental police state.
.
.
george_orwell_1984_movie_1
.
.

The pitch involves an

“eco roadblock.”


A young man driving an Audi A3 TDI
is singled out by an inspector.

“We’ve got a TDI here,”
he says.
“Clean diesel,”
he adds approvingly.

“You’re good to go, sir,”

the cops inform the driver.

The smiling Audi owner accelerates
to happiness on the open road.

The screen fades to black
and the tagline appears —
“Green has never felt so right.”


So,
instead of some healthy
don’t-tread-on-me mockery,
the moral of the story is that we should
welcome our new green overlords and,
if we know what’s good for us,
surrender to the New Green Order.

Some eco-bloggers disliked the ad
because it reinforces the association
of undemocratic statism or PC bullying
with environmentalism.

Perhaps that’s why the
New York Times dubbed it “misguided.”

Meanwhile,
some conservatives didn’t like it
because it makes light of what they
believe is actually happening.

After all,
in America and Europe,
the list of environmental crimes is
growing at an almost exponential rate.

The ad is absurd,
of course,
but not nearly as absurd as Audi thinks.

What was Audi’s intent?

Presumably,
to sell cars.


“The ad only makes sense if it’s
aimed at people who acknowledge
the moral authority of the green police,”
writes Grist magazine’s David Roberts
on the Huffington Post.

The target audience,
according to Roberts,
are men who want to
“do the right thing.”

He’s certainly right that
the ad isn’t aimed at people
(whom he childishly mocks as “teabaggers”)
who worry that their liberties
are being slowly eroded.
.
.
george_orwell_1984_movie_1
.

But the message is hardly
“do the right thing.”

To me,
the target demographic is a certain
subset of spineless upscale white men
(all of the perps in the ad
are affluent white guys)
who just want to go with the flow.

In that sense,
the Audi ad has a lot in common with
those execrable MasterCard commercials.

Targeting the same demographic,
those ads depicted hapless fathers
being harangued by their children
to get with the environmental program.

MasterCard’s tagline:
“Helping Dad become a better man:
Priceless.”

The difference is that
MasterCard’s ads were earnest,
creepy,
diabetes-inducing treacle.

Audi’s ad not only fails to invest
the greens with moral authority,
it concedes that the carbon cops
are out of control,
unjustly bullying people and power-hungry
(in a postscript scene,
the Green Police pull over real cops
for using Styrofoam cups).

But, because resistance is futile
when it comes to the eco-borg,
you might as well get the best car you can.

It will be interesting to see
whether the ad actually sells cars.

The premise only works if you take it
as a given that this Gorewellian nightmare
is inevitable.

But the commercials arrive at
precisely the moment when that
inevitability is unraveling like an
old pair of hemp socks.
.
.
.

The global warming industry is
imploding from scientific scandals,
inconvenient weather,
economic anxiety and surging
popular skepticism
(according to a Pew Research Center
survey released in January,
global warming ranks 21st out of
21 in terms of the public’s priorities).

Personally,
this week,
I don’t want a car to get
past the Green Gestapo.

I’m looking for something that
can power through the frozen tundra
separating me from the supermarket.

__There’s no

_______February 9th, 2010


Belefast Telegraph


BELEFASTELEGRAPH.CO.UK

 

A mystery thief who stole a treasured

gnome from a garden 13 years ago

has finally apologised and provided

a replacement,

the gnome’s owners said.


Denis and Doris Heard lost the gnome

from their garden in Leeds in 1996

and were later teased when they

received a postcard from the little chap,

who was apparently in Devon.


Now,

after more than a decade,

the gnome-napper has given in to

his conscience and left a letter of

apology along with a replacement.


The anonymous thief said he and a

friend took the memento as a

Mischief Night prank.


He said in the note:

“Since growing up and having

a garden of my own that I cherish

and care for,

I feel really bad about taking

something from you and your garden.


“I hope you will accept my

apologies and a replacement gnome!

Kind wishes.”

.

.

Keen gardener Mr Heard, 78,

said he and his wife had given up

hope of ever hearing about their

gnome again.


He told the Yorkshire Evening Post:

“There was a parcel on the doorstep.

We opened it and it was a gnome

with a rake –

very like the one that went missing.


“We’d just like to say ‘thank you’ to

whoever it was for returning the gnome.”


Mr and Mrs Heard’s gnome

went missing during a nationwide

spate of gnome mysteries in the

mid 1990s when a series of them

disappeared only to later bombard

their owners with messages from

around the world.

From Camelot
to Scamalot

__PART ONE OF TWO


For almost half a century, the romantic and noble label of John and Jackie Kennedy’s “Camelot” years in the White House has been an integral part of our political lexicon — and a major asset to the once-liberal, now mostly left-illiberal Democratic National Party.

How ironic it is that in the late JFK’s own state of Massachusetts, the voters who elected Republican State Senator Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate have laid the predicate for yet another presidential legacy label: the highly ignoble “Scamalot” for the unfolding political lives of Barack Obama and his far-left entourage.


Faced with so many false assurances, exaggerated ”hopes,” and inflated assertions about not only Obama’s health care takeover, but also his radical policies on energy, taxes, the national debt, unemployment, the environment, and the ongoing War on Terror, Bay State voters came to believe that the president is simply deceiving them — to the point that they were routinely thinking, ”You lie.”


But using the somewhat softer term of “scam,” let us paint a full picture of what is going on here. Let us pose the tough question: “Does this charismatic, smooth-talking, and openly ”progressive” (i.e., socialist) President Obama scam just a little, or does he truly scam a lot?” Consider, for example,


SCAM #1 –
He loudly asserts complete ”transparency,” but there is little or none — e.g., his birthplace records, his Marxist parentage and upbringing, his school records from grammar to graduate, his passport records, his radical-left personal and professional associations, his deep association with the ACORN conspiracy, his Harvard Law Review and book-writing records, and his multiple far-left, non-vetted, unconfirmed, and largely unaccountable regulatory “czars.”


SCAM #2 –
He continues to assure “bipartisanship” and “accountability,” but there is little of either, with most of his “economic stimulus” legislation and “TARP” funding — and now the health care proposals — crafted behind closed doors and with all of the Republicans (and all centrist and conservative Democrats, as well) actually locked out.


NOTE:
Massachusetts voters seem to have decided that “BUYpartisanship” might be a better spelling for the blatant vote-buying of several Senate Democrats (and probably as many House Democrats, as well) who are so servile as to be for sale.

SCAM #3 –
He promises not to sign any health care bill which “adds a single dime to the deficit” — but he deceitfully front-loads taxes and back-loads benefits to make it seem so, and he contrives multiple “scoring” schemes which grossly underestimate hidden costs by trillions of such “single dimes.”


SCAM #4 –
He pledges not to raise the taxes of anyone who earns less than such-and-suchamount – a number which keeps getting smaller and smaller – and cynically labels $250-”stimulus” handouts as ”tax cuts for 95 percent of all taxpayers.”


SCAM #5 –
He has assured that there would no role (or positions of substantial influence) for “lobbyists” in his administration, but he has made so many exceptions and end-runs as to render the original pledge a prima facie lie. (Surely, SEIU President Andy Stern, who virtually lives in the White House, would never “lobby” the president on anything.)


SCAM #6 –
He pretends to have left the Liberation Theology church when he has merely distanced himself from a particularly radical minister — while then appointing that minister’s hand-picked and equally radical successor, Rev. Cecil Morris, to his Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Initiatives. Further, he has appointed a Cuban expatriate Liberation Theologytheologian, Professor Miguel Diaz, as his ambassador to the Vatican.

__PART TWO OF TWO

 


SCAM #7 –
He claims not to be a socialist, but a “progressive” instead — when the latter has long been the radical left’s codeword for the former, and even when such “Death to America” socialists and communists as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, and Daniel Ortega proudly claim the “progressive” label as well.


SCAM #8 –
He talks of “energy independence” but proposes multilayered policies of Less Energy at Higher Prices (LEAHP) — all of which are devoted to a ruinously low “carbon footprint” belief system which is itself a pseudo-religious scam, correctly being called by many the Branch Carbonian Cult.


SCAM #9 –
He embraces as “scientific consensus” the junk science of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and shamelessly rejects virtually all scientific evidence (re: solar cycles, cosmic winds, ocean currents, volcanic activity, etc.) to the contrary, just as the pseudo-scientific Branch Carbonians do.


SCAM #10 –
He promises “jobs, jobs, jobs” while he relentlessly proposes — in an apparent state of cognitive dissonance — both the proactive outforcing of jobs and capital investment and the determined downforcing of most major domestic energy supplies.


SCAM #11 –
He repeatedly blames the ever-exploding budget deficits and the unending loss of jobs on “the Bush economy we inherited” — when it was clearly the Pelosi-Reid Congressional Economy of 2007-08 (with its promises of higher taxes and of radical “carbon-footprint” crackdowns) that he inherited, which had already ended the de facto Bush Boom of the preceding three years, 2004-06.


SCAM #12 —
He cynically relabels global terrorism a “man-caused disaster” and redefines al-Qaeda-inspired and trained enemy combatants as mere Miranda-protected “criminals” — and thereby tries to insulate himself and his legacy from ever having “lost a war,” which, after all, was never a war in the first place.


Topping it all, he and his dedicated fellow progressives will continue in the media, in academia, and elsewhere to muddle the truth about all of the major scams listed above — plus provide false or flippantly unreliable promises to end earmarking, to reduce deficit spending, to close Gitmo, to end corruption in high places, ad infinitum.


And they will do this by a wide variety of deceptive tactics, many of which come mainly from the late, great Marxist tactician of community organizing, Saul Alinsky, and his infamous Rules for Radicals handbook — which the young Barack actually taught to fellow radicals in both classroom and streetwise, ACORN-style settings.


And so it is that Barack Obama’s Scamalot army marches onward. As the French always say,”Plus ça change, plus c’est la meme chose.” In this case, it will be the same old Big Brother dream of world socialism — and it will remain so until we are finally able to flush the electoral toilets all across the nation later this year and again in 2012, as has so appropriately just happened in Massachusetts.

____Etymology of the

Straw Man Argument


“Straw Man” is one of

the best-named fallacies,

because it is memorable

and vividly illustrates the

nature of the fallacy.


Imagine a fight in which

one of the combatants

sets up a man of straw,

attacks it,

then proclaims victory.


All the while,

the real opponent

stands by untouched.

Matthews and

openly fighting
over Obama


By Ann Coulter

______February 3rd, 2010

ANNCOULTER.COM

.

“Special Report” on the President’s
question-and-answer session with
Republicans last Friday,
MSNBC’s jock-sniffers Chris Matthews,
Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow
produced a museum-quality show:
.
___________
.
___________________
.

MATTHEWS:

Everybody agrees he could
handle everything today. …

OLBERMANN:

It almost felt like watching
the stories of John L. Sullivan,
the 19th-century boxer,
who would volunteer to fight anybody
and everybody in the house and
knock them all out. …

MADDOW
(imagining Obama thinking):
You’ve brought a pet issue here,
congressman,
who is the ranking member
of the Budget Committee,
let me tell you 400,000 things about it,
and invite you to continue the
discussion with me later. …

MATTHEWS:
Today showed me that we do produce
probably the best candidate and best
president we can in this system you
can imagine in the world. …

OLBERMANN:

They had 140 players on the field
and the other team had one guy
and they lost to him…

MATTHEWS:
You were so unbelievably hot,
Mr. President!
You blew away the other team!

OBAMA:
Beat it.

MATTHEWS:

OK,
I’ll go stand in my locker now.

.

.

Unlike the jock-sniffers,
normal people watching the president’s
tete-a-tete with the Republicans only
wondered why Obama always responds
to imaginary arguments no one made,
rather than the questions
actually being asked.

That is Obama’s signature move:
Invent “people” who are “saying”
ridiculous things and then encourage
the audience to laugh at
these made-up buffoons.


Since Obama’s reformulations of
Republican arguments are always absurd,
no further response from him
is necessary —
and none is ever forthcoming.

thus,
for example,
Obama’s description of Republican
criticism of his plan to nationalize
health care was that
“this thing was some Bolshevik plot.”

No.


No one said it was a “plot,”
Bolshevik or otherwise.

Republicans’ objection to national
health care could be more accurately
portrayed as follows:
Obama’s plan
to nationalize health care was a
terrible idea because it would turn
over one-sixth of the American
economy to Washington bureaucrats,
who would run the system as
competently as the federal government
runs everything else,
from airport security to
the post office to FEMA.

How about responding
to that argument?

(And as long as Obama brought it up,
can he explain which part of national
health care the Bolsheviks would
have objected to most strongly?)

This isn’t how adults
conduct serious political debates;
it’s how children argue
with their parents.

Don’t have a cow!

Liberals hide conservative arguments
from the public like teenagers hide
contraband from mother under the bed.


Repeatedly positing imaginary attacks
by Republicans accusing him of a “plot,”
Obama said that
“the way these issues are being
presented by the Republicans is
that this is some wild-eyed plot
to impose huge government in
every aspect of our lives.”

Again,
not a “plot” and certainly not
“wild-eyed.”

The only person accusing anyone
of “plotting” here is Obama accusing
the GOP of plotting against him.

I guess they don’t teach
irony at Harvard Law School.

If Obama is going to keep imagining
others accusing him of “plots,”
could he provide just one example?


Republicans also did not
accuse Obama of trying to
“impose huge government in
every aspect of our lives.”

Just the part of it that
determines how long we get to live.
.

.

Continuing his fantasy battle
with imaginary opponents,
Obama said,
“What you’ve been telling
your constituents is,
this guy is doing all kinds
of crazy stuff that’s going
to destroy America.”

I gather Obama is incapable of
responding to his opponents’
actual argument,
which is that he is proposing
all sorts of things that would
be very bad for America.

Since he pleads innocence only
on the claim that he is doing
“crazy stuff that’s going
to destroy America” —
an argument no one made —
apparently he’s guilty as charged
on the claim that he’s merely doing
very bad things to America.

Adopting the pose of
limpid nonpartisanship,
Obama repeatedly accused Republicans
of horrible things using his peculiar
straw-man technique.
.
.

.


He told Republicans he was
“absolutely committed”
to working with them,
“but it can’t just be political
assertions that aren’t substantiated.”

Can Obama please name a single
“unsubstantiated” political assertion
by a Republican before wasting
everyone’s time by instructing
Republicans to stop making them?

I can name a few from Obama!

How about the whopper he told
about national health care not
covering illegal aliens?

Or the one about it
not covering abortions?

Weeks after Obama made those
unsubstantiated political assertions
before a joint session of Congress,
Democrats were in death-match
battles with Republicans
(and some moderate Democrats)
who tried to exclude coverage for
illegals and abortion from the very
bills Obama said never contained
such coverage in the first place.

How about Obama’s claim in
his State of the Union address
last week that a recent Supreme Court
ruling would allow
“foreign corporations to spend
without limit in our elections”?

In the case Obama mentioned,
the court overruled section 441a
of the campaign-finance law,
which had banned all corporate
spending on elections.

The case did not concern,
nor did the court address,
section 441e,
which prohibits foreign corporations
from making any “contribution or
donation of money or other
thing of value …
in connection with a Federal,
State or local election.”
.
_______Teabagging Is When You Put Another Persons Scrotum
.

History will record that these
remarks from his State of the Union
address were the only case legendary
barrister Barack Obama ever argued
before the Supreme Court.

And he lost.

Even when presented with a short,
straightforward,
simply stated question
by Rep. Mike Pence,
Obama couldn’t help but to
formulate a different question.

Pence asked:

“Mr. President,
will you consider supporting
across-the-board tax relief,
as President Kennedy did?”

The question Obama
wanted Pence to ask was:
Mr. President,
will you join Republicans in
cutting taxes of billionaires?


Luckily,
Obama’s reformulation gave him
an opening for a killer answer:
“What you may consider
across-the-board tax cuts could be,
for example,
greater tax cuts for people who
are making a billion dollars.

I may not agree to a
tax cut for Warren Buffett.”

Republicans should take that answer
and run like a thief in the night!

OK,
let’s cut taxes on everyone
except billionaires.

I’d even support a specific tax
expressly on Warren Buffett.

Now, son,
how much will you give
us for these magic beans?

If only Republicans could maneuver
Obama into answering a question
on abortion,
we could probably get him to
agree to ban all abortions ––
except in the case of teenage girls
who have been raped by their fathers.

(This is how I assume Obama
would rephrase the question.)

No conservative argues like this.


To the contrary,
we’re morose that Nexis
archives are not more complete,
so we can’t quote liberals
directly more often.
