Libs upset about Times Square bomber’s race

They’re pissed he’s not a white racist tea-party activist. Unfortunately, he appears to be a Pakistani-born US citizen who was caught trying to board a plane to Dubai.

MSNBC idiot Contessa Brewer: I mean the thing is is that and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case that here would be somebody who is not the defined. I mean he’s accused he’s arrested you know I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said I mean we know even in recent history you have the Haitari militia from Michigan who have plans to let’s face it create terror.

How outdated is the belief that most terrorists are Muslims of Middle-Eastern descent when this shit went just went down 3 days ago? She’s so upset that he wasn’t a white dude that she had to bring up some nutty white dudes who didn’t even DO anything in an attempt to prove that we need to be just as afraid of white dudes. Goofy chick.

Meanwhile, the utterly worthless mayor of New York City lost a quarter after the bet he placed yesterday.

“There is no credible evidence so far that this attack was more than at least one person, the driver,” said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “After that there is no evidence that anyone else was involved. It may be, but we can’t say that it is.”…

“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

HE DOESN’T LIKE THE HEALTH CARE BILL OR SOMETHING. HAHAHAHAHA!

They’re willfully resistant to the idea that Islam is still a threat. The leftist elites in this country don’t deserve the blessings they’ve inherited.

Bloomberg

Unintentionally ironic quote of the day from Michael Bloomberg: "Terrorists who want to take our freedoms away from us focus on the symbol of those freedoms, and that’s New York City."

It depends on who you want dead

More than a week before this Facebook group showed up and subsequently garnered over a million fans, a memo was sent out by the New Jersey Education Association (the teachers’ union) containing the following prayer referencing the state’s Republican governor:

"Dear Lord: This year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays … I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor."

It’s a joke. It’s been used before and it’ll be used again. But though the Obama version clearly ripped off the Christie version, the Obama version is the one that seems to have been deemed “not funny” and “dangerous.”

The Quality of our Leadership

I hope Guam is properly supplied with life vests and inflatable rafts in case it tips over and capsizes.

This Hank Johnson fellow got to vote for health care reform and I didn’t.

IT Problems Put Accuracy of Census at Risk

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/63380

There’s only one organization on Earth that can spend $2.7 billion dollars on a database system that doesn’t work that gets to stay in business. Well, I guess there are lots of organizations like that, but they are all part of the federal government.

You’ve got disinterested, overpaid bureaucrats led by political appointees who don’t really care about the process implementing a work force of unionized dimwits recruited from a pool of ACORN flops using a system engineered and administered by a legally-mandated rainbow coalition of jackasses who couldn’t cut it in the private sector.

And it’s not working so well? Hmm.

Anyway, next up, Electronic Medical Records. Yay!

Information technology problems at the U.S. Census Bureau could cause inaccuracies in this year’s constitutionally mandated count of the U.S. population, according to government auditors.

The Census Bureau is specifically having problems with two IT systems.  One is the Paper-Based Operational Control System (PBOC), which is the computer database where Census Bureau field operatives upload the data they collect from people who did not mail responses to the bureau.

The second is the Decennial Applicant Personnel and Payroll System (DAPPS), which is the system used to keep track of, and pay, the more than 600,000  temporary federal workers who help conduct the Census operations.

Last Thursday, the GAO released a report on the Census Bureau’s IT problems entitled, “Data Collection is Under Way, But Reliability of Key Information Technology Systems Remains a Risk.” The report indicated that the government has known about the problem for some time.

The report stated that last February, the GAO had testified that “key IT systems — most notably an automated system used to manage field-data collection known as the Paper-Based Operations Control System (PBOCS), and a personnel and payroll processing system called the Decennial Applicant Personnel and Payroll System (DAPPS) — were experiencing significant performance issues.”

The new GAO report concluded that IT problems have not been solved.

“Aside from the mail response rate, which is outside of the Bureau’s direct control, the most significant risk jeopardizing the cost and quality of the enumeration lies in the performance problems that continue to plague DAPPS and PBOCS,” said the report. “Indeed, neither system has yet demonstrated the ability to function reliably under full operational loads, and the limited amount of time that remains to improve the reliability of these systems creates a substantial challenge for the Bureau.”

Using the New Orleans field operations as an example, the report described how the PBOC system worked very slowly, or sometimes not at all, and that for this reason the Census Bureau had to restrict the number of field operatives who could use it.

The operating budget for the NRFU is $2.7 billion, according to Goldenkoff’s written testimony.

Goldenkoff’s also testified that the DAPPS system for handling the field workers payroll lacks capacity and is “sluggish.”

The Census Bureau’s IT deficiencies also make it difficult to accurately provide a final cost for the 2010 Census, which is currently estimated at around $14.7 billion.

“Key information technology systems continue to experience performance functionality shortfalls and these systems can affect the ultimate scheduled cost and success of the Census,” said Gordon.

Goldenkoff pointed out that not addressing the IT problems could result in the Census costing more than the estimated $14.7 billion figure.
