RIP Susie Ann Donovan

We’ve lost another member of the Just One Minute family.

Susie Ann Donovan was “Bad” at JOM. After a long bout with cancer she passed away this Monday. Here is a link to her obituary.

Because of her initials, she used to be "Sad" on JOM, but was convinced to change that name because it in no way reflected her attitude and spirit.

Jane recounts that story here, as well as supplying a very beautiful tribute to our friend.

When I first learned of Sue’s battle with cancer, and the fact that she had teenage children, I took the opportunity to email her with whatever feeble words of encouragement I could muster.

Instead of relying just on my own words to convey what an incredibly beautiful person Sue was, I would like to share some of the response she sent to me in our first email exchange. It helps paint the picture of just who she was.

My children are 18, 15 and 13. My goal is to be sure that their faith increases and the family unit is strengthened by the time I pass away if that is what must be. To blow the parenting gig now would be silly and pointless since I've spent nearly 19 years devoted to my family and volunteer work. Our wonderful children have salvation and are part of an incredible church family. Our neighborhood is loving and nurturing as well. Frank and I have the rare opportunity to demonstrate our faith and the power of God's love in the time we have left together. We have always told our children that they were equipped to deal with anything life handed them and it seems we were actually right! They are awesome.

I would like to take credit for having a great attitude but there are many factors allowing me great hope and peace.

We aren't suffering income deprivation because I haven't worked in nearly 19 years and my husband provides very well for our family. The kids have college funds and Frank's insurance is allowing me the best, most advanced treatment for this very rare and lethal cancer. I am only 47 and very healthy with no underlying health conditions other than the cancer.

I'm so grateful that it is me with the cancer and not my husband or children. I can bear many burdens for myself that would be too difficult to watch my family carrying.

My children are no longer babies and toddlers. Our household runs smoothly and efficiently because they are so self sufficient. I already have glimpses of the awesome men and woman they will be because of their humor and grace now.

Frank is a very strong, solid man. He will be a rock in their life for as long as he lives.

I have a wonderful life and everything in the world to live for because God has blessed us in every way possible. I will not waste the brain chemistry on negativity and fear. Everyday is a gift and one more day to love and be loved by my family.

Thank you so much for your encouragement and especially your humor. I don't know anyone who has cancer of the funny bone, yet it seems to be my most effective organ and those who feed it saints. I hope all is well with you and yours and God blesses you with untold posterity and happiness.

I had the privilege of meeting Sue in person last summer. I was in town and we arranged to meet for lunch. She invited me into her home and also arranged for all of her kids to stop by and meet me (yes, the kids questioned her sanity in inviting a stranger she met on the internet into their home – and they probably only showed up for lunch to help ensure her safety against the likely wacko who would arrive). She was not lying above about her kids being awesome.

It was a wonderful lunch, and Sue was as engaging and joyous in person as she always was online. There simply is no way to spend time with Sue and not be encouraged. There simply is no way to spend time with Sue and not laugh out loud. Constantly. She wrung the humor out of anything and everything in life with an infectious laugh that seemed never to stop. And you never wanted it to stop.

Sue’s signature line in a number of our emails went like this:

We are kicking cancer’s butt and choosing happiness everyday.

She kicked the hell out of a cancer that was supposed to have taken her life years ago. She not only chose happiness in how she approached life – but she delivered it to others in quantities most people can only dream of doing.

Even while cancer was slowly eating away at her body, she was busy breathing life into everyone with whom she came in contact.

There will never again be anyone like Sue. I was immeasurably blessed to have known her.

My prayers turn now to husband Frank and children Clay, Patrick and Katie.

May God wrap each of you in His love and comfort.

UPDATE: I should have thought of this before, here is a word from her husband about what her friends online can do in her memory:

PS: If any of her online friends would like to do something for her, she has specifically asked that contributions be made to any of four special causes that mean so much to her.

Sue has always had a green thumb and loved to work in her flower beds. She also loves her church and in particular wants to support the “ Oak Tree Park ” project that is part of a beautification effort on the church property.

Sue has always loved kids and had made it her mission to reach out to them and nurture them anytime she had the opportunity. Delana was one of the kids at our church that Sue loved and she has grown up, gotten married and is doing mission work in Peru and Sue wants to continue to support Delana and her work.

Anyone that knows Sue will know how she leveraged her love of kids to become the ultimate Band Booster for two local High School Bands. Our oldest son Clay attended Summit where he was a Drum Major. Our daughter Katie started at Summit but she was re-zoned to Legacy when that new school opened and was the Color Guard Captain. Through all of these years Sue was the ultimate Band Booster, volunteer coordinator and Band Mom to so many of the kids, many of whom have visited her over the last few days to let her know how much of a difference she made in their lives. Sue loves both programs and wants to encourage support for both.

He Deems, She Deems, They All Deem so He Can Redeem

I really don't get all this fuss about the House "deeming" the health care bill passed, rather than, you know, actually voting on it.

I mean, the Democrats deem stuff all the time. Let's take a look at some of the more memorable ones...

Tim Geithner was “deemed” to have paid his taxes.

Charlie Rangel was “deemed” to have satisfactorily complied with House ethics rules.

Chris Dodd was “deemed” to have complied with all Senate ethics rules.

Barack Obama was “deemed” to have complied with all campaign finance laws.

Harry Reid “deemed” the Iraq War lost in 2006.

Al Franken was “deemed” to have won the Minnesota Senate election in 2008.

Valerie Plame was “deemed” to have been super-covert.

A penumbra was “deemed” to have been found in the Constitution in Roe v Wade.

And even more, Obama has really been on the forefront of "deeming" things since becoming President...

Obama “deemed” Guantanamo be closed within his first 30 seconds in office (or thereabouts).

Obama “deemed” 139 billion jobs had been created or saved with the stimulus (or thereabouts).

Obama “deemed” that unemployment would not go over 8% if the stimulus passed.

Obama “deemed” that not one penny of stimulus money would be wasted.

Corollary: Obama “deemed” that nobody messes with Joe.

Obama “deemed” that Caterpillar would rehire laid off workers if the stimulus passed.

Obama “deemed” he would oversee the most open, honest, transparent government EVAH!

Obama “deemed” that Sergeant James Crowley of the Cambridge police department had acted stupidly.

Obama “deemed” that we shouldn't meddle in Iran by supporting its citizens protesting a rigged vote and oppressive regime.

Obama “deemed” that even during the midst of the brutal crackdown in Iran, Fourth of July hot dog party invitations to Iranian diplomats should not be rescinded.

Obama “deemed” that Honduran President Manuel Zelaya's removal was an unconstitutional coup, even though it wasn't a coup and it adhered to Honduras's constitution.

Obama “deemed” that Israel should not build any more settlements.

Obama “deemed” that the US should get rid of all its nukes.

Obama “deemed” that missile defense in Poland should be scuttled.

Obama “deemed” that bringing a copy of the proposed health care bill that was being debated in his health care summit constituted using a prop.

Obama “deemed” that the time for talk is over and that we aren't campaigning any more, but was unavailable for comment at the time of this post due to being at a health care rally talking about health care reform.

See? Really, what's one more "deem" going to mean on top of all that?

No, but seriously, I firmly oppose ObamaCare in every respect.

And actually, once we get beyond all this current "deeming", we know there's plenty more where that came from.

Obama, at his core, firmly believes that it is his purpose ... that this is his time, this is his moment,to redeem us all into "real" Americans, cleansing us of our sin of believing in American Exceptionalism.

Well.

I "deem" both ObamaCare and Obama as president as worthy of failure.

Sometimes the Props Just Don't Cooperate

I believe that children are our future.....

I know exactly how you feel, kids.

What Is She Pointing At ... With The Left Hand?

Pointing is rude and all, but what she's doing with the left hand is particularly frightening.

Especially for whoever is on the receiving end of the right hand point.

Obama and Lincoln

One was known as the Great Emancipator.

The other, not so much.

The ad below begins:

Are you the wife of a Democratic politician up for re-election this year? Or do you currently work with or for such a man, or know one socially? Have you been paying attention to the polls? To the elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts? Have you noticed this man acting nervously, seeming distracted, behaving erratically?

If you are honest with yourself, are you worried he will lose his job?

You should be.

For those who might have gone looking for CPAADP.org: I know that might get a little confusing, and that it is certainly unorthodox: an ad for an organization that predates the formation of that organization.

OK fine, let's not pretend that CPAADP is anything more than a pretend organization. Because it isn't.

But that's not a concession that there isn't a dire need for such an organization. Because there is.

Remarks by the President on Health Care Reform

Highlights of President Obama's remarks on health care reform from the East Room of the White House, delivered March 3, 2010:

President Obama's Weekly Address: Accountability and Triumph

Highlights from President Obama's weekly address in which he describes the problems in Washington.

From February 27, 2010:

The Post-Post Partisan Easter Bunny*

Uh huh. About that health care summit. From ABC:

Obama has invited Republicans and Democrats to a televised bipartisan meeting on health care on Feb. 25, but experts are skeptical about whether the open event will be any more than political theater and actually achieve any concrete results in bringing both sides together.

"It could either be a choreographed professional wrestling match or it could be another 'Kumbaya' meeting, and I think both would be totally useless," said Uwe Reinhardt, a professor of political economy at Princeton University . "It should be a frank exchange -- thoughtful, polite, but the way adults should talk to each other."

The president is hoping to thaw the ice on a health care overhaul bill that right now faces grim prospects on Capitol Hill. By bringing both Republicans and Democrats to the table, the White House hopes to resurrect the momentum by energizing wary Democrats and staunchly opposed Republicans.

"Bipartisanship can't be that I agree to all the things that they [Republicans] believe in or want, and they agree to none of the things I believe in and want, and that's the price of bipartisanship," Obama said at an impromptu press conference Tuesday, "but that's sometimes the way it gets presented.

"I'm willing to move off some of the preferences of my party in order to meet them halfway," he said. "But there's got to be some give from their side as well. ... That's what I'm hoping gets accomplished at this summit."

Squarely in Obama’s wheelhouse, right? After all, it’s exactly the sort of thing Obama said would make him a good president during the 2008 campaign.

Obama, September 22, 2008 on 60 Minutes:

KROFT: Why do you think you’d be a good president?

…

OBAMA: One of the things I’m good at is getting people in a room with a bunch of different ideas who sometimes violently disagree with each other and finding common ground and a sense of common direction.

Then again, that self-assessment hasn’t survived the harsh realities Obama has experienced since becoming president, now has it?

In fact, though almost all of the violence in the health care debate has been on Obama’s side of the ideological aisle, Obama has done nothing to find common ground or a sense of common direction with his political opponents (to be blunt, he's done much worse than doing nothing, what with the name calling and the attempts to shut down debate, but that's for another day).

You might say Obama was wrong about bringing people together. And you would be right.

But let's cut him some slack on that 60 Minutes interview. It’s not like he’s just now realizing this reality. In fact, his reason for why he would be a good president barely survived a week before meeting its expiration date – he violently disagreed with it eight days later. I mean, you could get a bunch of people in a room and not one could find common ground or a common sense of direction between his statement above and this one.

Obama, September 30, 2008 on ABC:

"I don't think me calling House Republican members would have been that helpful, I tend not to be that persuasive on that side of the aisle," he said.

In other words…

Obama told me that if he was elected president, he might as well eschew bipartisan outreach because he tends not to be that persuasive to his political opponents. And he was right! And he has!

Finally! An Obama statement that has not reached an expiration date. Somebody call Geraghty.

So. Is the summit a serious undertaking or simply political theater?

Either way, I think most can agree that Obama can’t and won’t do much persuading.

Including, frankly, Obama.

A Buck Passer at Heart

Mark Steyn points to this piece by Leslie H Gelb:

It’s not clear whether the bad judgments on priorities, practicalities, and steadiness come from Mr. Obama or his White House team. Maybe he overpowers them in discussions, or maybe he gives them a role in policymaking far beyond their experience in that realm. Unless you’re there, you don’t know. But Mr. Obama is the president, and except for the right-wing crazies, most Americans still recognize his great talents and promise. It is he who’s got to be helped. So it is they who’ve got to go.

True. If we’re not there, we don’t know. We aren’t there. We don’t know.

But is there anything from recent memory that might help us develop a better possible answer than just a guess?

Perhaps:

"It wasn't like 'Let's have a discussion.' It was 'One, two, three, four, here's what we're going to do,' "a staffer said. "When things don't go well, [Obama] doesn't yell and scream. He's very prescriptive. Everybody understands this isn't about having a discussion. He's got 99 percent of the voting shares. There's no point in taking a vote."

Unless Obama has given up those voting shares since arriving in the Oval Office that he once commanded at Campaign HQ, we just might have our answer.

Then again, perhaps more likely, the account of Obama as being large and in charge all the time on every topic during the campaign was an exaggeration, a part of the myth-making of Obama 1.0: The omniscient leader who would heal the planet (that’s Steyn again).

But either way, is there any doubt that at some point, though we know not the time nor the place, that Gelb’s prescription (dump a slew of current advisors for New! and Improved! ones) comes true in some form or fashion?

Because, after all, there is something else from recent memory about Obama when things go south: Obama is a buck-passer at heart.

Never Forgetting Peter Bocking

An obituary for PUK was recently published in the Guardian:

My friend Peter Bocking, who has died aged 66, lived a double life: in the UK he was revered as a jazz guitarist on the north-west beat group scene; in the US he was admired for his written contributions to the blogosphere. Neither group knew of the existence of the other.

...

Yet his wider fame rested on non-musical talents. His death was greeted with an outpouring of grief from US blog sites, where PeterUK's contributions were legendary. For example, on the Is-Barack-a-black-Lincoln? debate: "There is some European socialist in him, so perhaps he is a Lincoln Continental." PeterUK's comments have since been gathered on several sites. In a way, Bocking surpassed the Beatles' achievement: he conquered America without ever leaving his armchair.

There were a few of us Americans in the PUK blog fan club who knew of his musical prowess.

The obit also includes a new (to me) photo of PUK:

Read the whole thing -- you'll get more flavor of PUK's life.

"Greensboro Sit-Ins Left Mark on Nation"

Obama makes an appearance in our local newspaper today with a personal message commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Woolworth's sit-in by four African-American students at North Carolina A&T who became known as the Greensboro Four, Ezell A. Blair Jr. (also known as Jibreel Khazan), David Leinhail Richmond, Joseph Alfred McNeil, and Franklin Eugene McCain.

We share an image of the article approvingly and without further comment:

When Will Obama Break His Press Conference Fast?

ABC News reports:

Obama Gives Speeches, Interviews But Few Press Conferences

There's a tug of war in every administration between the White House and the media that cover it. Reporters want more access and more quality time to question the president, while staffers want to control how the message plays. The two goals are quite often at odds.
...
At issue is whether the president has an obligation to take questions on a regular basis from the group of reporters that cover him daily. The reporters say yes. The White House says, well, we choose to do that differently.

President Obama has not held a full news conference at the White House since July 22, the night he said that the Cambridge Police "acted stupidly" in the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates.

Well. Being press-conference-averse and relying on speeches is nothing new for Obama. Obama would go radio silent on the campaign trail, notably when uncomfortable questions were on the lips of reporters.

We wrote this for American Thinker in June 2008:

Obama's strategy has been to orient the campaign around his greatest strength and advantage -- who could deliver the best speech -- and away from his greatest weakness -- his poor ability to answer questions about how he would deliver on any of its promises. [...]

Obama understands that the primary means of limiting the questions for which he would otherwise be forced to answer is to create a media environment in which those questions are not asked.

Liberals, including the media have repeatedly attacked President Bush for making himself unavailable to the media in press conferences and other Q&A formats. Yet as Howard Kurtz described back in January, the Obama campaign has been "unusually insulated":

One moment of absurdity came Tuesday, when reporters on the press bus were asked to dial into a conference call in which Obama announced a congressman's endorsement -- even though the candidate was nearby and just as easily could have delivered the news in person to the bus captives. Obama answered a few questions, but reporters are generally placed on mute after they speak so there can be no follow-up.

Obama learned the wisdom of this strategy, or rather the folly of its absence, when he made himself available to reporters to answer questions about his relationship with Antonin Rezko, who is currently on trial for corruption. Irritated with the questions and unable to satisfy persistent reporters, Obama cut the news conference short, walking out and proclaiming, "'Guys, I mean come on. I just answered like eight questions." Obama more recently went on a 10 day stretch in which he held no press conferences. Frustrated with the lack of availability, a reporter tried to break Obama's silence by asking a question while he was eating breakfast. Obama again deployed the "chagrin defense", this time somewhat fomously, "Why can't I just eat my waffle?"

Eating breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Putting yourself in position to get eaten by reporters falls much lower on the priority scale.

Happy New Year

For the second year in a row, I was tasked by my wife's family with cooking blackeyed peas for New Year's Day.

For the first year in a row, my sister-in-law has a blog . . . devoted to food . . . in which my effort could be documented.

Beer-Eyed Blackeyed Peas

Click the link above for her blog post that includes the recipe (which helps in understanding the name of the dish).

Oh, and have I told you how much I love my sister-in-law? She really, really is the best.

And . . . The Chef In My Head . . . that's the second best name for a blog evah!

Best of 2009

Well, with 2009 coming to a close, this Instapundit post caught my eye:

BEST OF 2009: The Boob Czar.

That link takes you to this at Fishersville Mike:

It's easy for me to remember the post that got the most hits this year. It's from September.
Bob from the Journey blog made it to Washington Saturday and caught the Boob Czar and her entourage - the Czar of Transparency and a Green Czar.

Ah, interesting. What post at TheVIMH got the most hits this year?

The winner is, from February, the 1040DEM:

Click to enlarge and see if you can spot the differences between this and the traditional, non-partisan 1040.

Given this post yesterday by Instapundit, that seems relevant again:

TAXPROF: TurboTax: The Geithner Edition.

But egads, it seems I peaked in February.

Bring on 2010.

Happy New Year to all.

Either Something or Someone Is Just Not That Big a Deal

So a terrorist tries to take down a plane -- but nobody tells Obama until 3 hours after the incident is over.

Yikes. Either a terrorist attempting to blow up a plane is just not that big a deal -- or in a terrorist attack Obama is just not that big a deal.

Interestingly, I recently found the post below in draft mode, tucked away in some obscure corner of the blog editor, originally written a few days before the 2008 election. For whatever reason, I never posted it.

Might as well now. So here goes:

----------------------

One of the most effective ads of the primary season was Hillary Clinton’s 3am ad, making the case that you want someone with experience in the White House to handle a crisis.

Because Obama is nearly devoid of any relevant experience.

One rebuttal of the 3am theme has been that Obama can surround himself with knowledgeable advisers, can lean on others to help fill in the gaps during a crisis.

And Obama himself made the case that judgment is more important than experience.

Well. The combination of the two should put those concerns to rest, no?

Uh, unless the combination of the two shows a poor choice of gap fillers as evidence of very poor judgment.

Obama’s selection of Joe Biden was obviously an answer to how Obama would fill in such a gap in a foreign crisis (because he certainly wasn’t an answer to bringing change to Washington).

And now, we have Bill Clinton informing us that Obama needs a gap filler on economic matters too.

You see, the 3:00 am call is not the critical one. It’s the call Obama makes at 3:07 am to the person he will turn to in the crisis.

Roll tape…

The Financial Crisis

It's 3 am and your children are asleep. But there's a phone ringing in the White House...

Obama: Hello? You do know what time it is. […] What? A financial crisis? We must act immediately? I don’t know what to do, what do you think we should do? […] OK, well, I’ll get right back to you. I want to bounce this off some other people.

[3:07 am: Obama hangs up receiver, picks it up again, begins to dial]

Obama: Come on, come on, pick up dammit.

Bill Clinton: Hello, Mr. President. What can I do for you?

Obama: There’s a financial crisis, I need your advice.

Bill Clinton: You could bomb an aspirin factory.

Obama: …

Bill Clinton: Oh and then go on camera and bite your lip. Tell people you understand their…no, that you can feel their pain.

Obama: …

Bill Clinton: And listen, you must be earnest. Look straight into the camera. Wag your finger a lot, too.

Female voice in background: Come back to bed, Billy.

Obama: Yeah, yeah, ok, let me talk to Hillary.

Bill Clinton: She’s not here.

Obama: But I just heard her in the background.

Bill Clinton: You thought that was Hillary? Hah! Hey, don’t say a word about this, mmmkay?

[3:11 am: click]

The Foreign Crisis

It's 3 am and your children are asleep. But there's a phone ringing in the White House...

Obama: Hello? You do know what time it is. […] What? A foreign crisis? We must act immediately? I don’t know what to do, what do you think we should do? […] OK, well, I’ll get right back to you. Joe knew this would happen, I’m gonna give him a call.

[3:07 am: Obama hangs up receiver, picks it up again, begins to dial]

Obama: Come on, come on, pick up dammit.

Biden: God love ya, Barack, what’s going on?

Obama: We have a crisis on our hands.

Biden: See? I told you so. Did you mark my words? Huh? Did you? They’re testing you, Barack. They’re testing your mettle. Wanna see what you’re made of.

Obama: Right, so…

Biden: Gird your loins, Barack.

Obama: Sure, got it but…

Biden: Like cleaning out the Augean stables, man.

Obama: Let me finish…

Biden: Now listen, I’m glad you called. I’m not being falsely humble with you here, you need me Barack. You need me.

Obama: That’s why I called. Now let’s…

Biden: OK, here’s what we do. We…wait, what’s the crisis?

Obama: Foreign minister Gluvsarov has ordered missles be deployed to Popinovistan

Biden: Right. OK, did you know, I’ve forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know.

Obama: Enough. Listen, we need to come up with something. What are your thoughts?

Biden: That’s what I’m trying to tell you, I’ve forgotten who Gluvsarov is or where Popinovistan is.

[3:15 am: click]

Biden: Hello? Barack? …

---------------------

[2009 Me Again]: Well. How's that first year worked out for us with Obama? Does anyone still want Obama to be answering the 3am phone call? Or are you glad they waited an additional 3 hours to let the adults handle the situation yesterday before telling President Obama?

Well I know how I answer that last question.

Going Rogue 11, ClimateGate 5

Remember this?

If you wonder why American newspapering is dying, consider this sign-off:

AP writers Matt Apuzzo, Sharon Theimer, Tom Raum, Rita Beamish, Beth Fouhy, H. Josef Hebert, Justin D. Pritchard, Garance Burke, Dan Joling and Lewis Shaine contributed to this report.

Wow. That's ten "AP writers" plus Calvin Woodward, the AP writer whose twinkling pen honed the above contributions into the turgid sludge of the actual report. That's eleven writers for a 695-word report. What on? Obamacare? The Iranian nuke program? The upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

No, the Associated Press assigned eleven writers to "fact-check" Sarah Palin's new book

Now we have this. From the AP's article covering (up) ClimateGate:

The AP studied all the e-mails for context, with five reporters reading and rereading them—about 1 million words in total.

That's less than half the reporters they assigned to "fact-check" Sarah Palin's book.

To be fair, that article also tells us:

As part of the AP review, summaries of the e-mails that raised issues from the potential manipulation of data to intensely personal attacks were sent to seven experts in research ethics, climate science and science policy.

OK. But read this at Watts Up With That: AP’s Seth Borenstein is just too damn cozy with the people he covers – time for AP to do something about it.

Well.

American Thinkering

I should probably note here the two recent posts I did at American Thinker. So I will. I'll give a quick quote for each, but you can go read them there.

Great Expectations

But really, Lisa Lerer here is just channeling her inner-Michelle Obama.

We should all think more like Michelle Obama

It appears to me that like Lisa Lerer of Politico, Immelt is channeling his inner-Michelle Obama, who also believes America has succumbed to meanness and who counsels young Americans to not give in to greed.

Maybe you detect a theme?
