Star-studded rally for Sharron Angle in Las Vegas – Actor Jon Voigt joins in
Reagan-inspired love for country
From Eric Dondero:
On Friday night, an impressive line-up of speakers joined Republican for Senate Sharron Angle at a rally in Las Vegas. The line-up included John McCain, Michael Reagan, and Jon Voight.
Las Vegas Channel 13 News describes a Reagan-inspired event:
Friday night, Hollywood was in town, so was the posterity of a celebrated Republican president, and a former presidential candidate. It started with patriotic music, sound clips from past presidents...
Republican Senatorial candidate Sharron Angle was all smiles as she took the stage with her big name supporters.
"answer Ronald Reagan's last wish in politics. To rid this country of Harry Reid," says Michael Reagan
Obama a "radical Socialist" sympathetic with our enemies
According to CNN, Angle declared that "shock and awe" were coming to Washington.
McCain shouted out:
"This election will change America. The world is watching this election. My friends, the 51st vote to give Republicans majority in the U.S. Senate will come right here from the state of Nevada. I look forward to standing side by side with Angle."
Voight gave the crowd red meat. Continuing from CNN:
Perhaps the most impassioned speaker of the night was Voight.
The actor attacked Obama for launching a "destructive assault" on the nation.
Lacing his remarks with accusations of "lies' and "fraud" perpetrated by the White House, he elicited a rousing ovation when he announced, "Obama is not a Democrat. He is a radical socialist more sympathetic with our enemies than our allies."

Cyber-attack Threat: is It Real?
CNN reports that in a survey of U.S. Internet technology and infrastructure executives, 60% expect a "major cyber-incident" within two years (and define that as an outage of at least 24 hours, a loss of life, or the failure of a company). Others, however, say that cyber-terrorists' ability to do ser
Did a Democrat just play the race card in Idaho race?
AD COMPARISON: Walt Minnick, ID vs. Sharron Angle, NV
From Eric Dondero:
The hotly contested Idaho congressional race, just got nasty. Incumbent Democrat Congressman Walt Minnick has released an ad highlighting Tea Party Republican Raul Labrador's alleged inaction in a case before the prosecutor's office regarding meth-amphetamine. The suspect Carlos Lopez, like Labrador, is Hispanic. The ad implies that Labrador actually assisted Lopez in escaping to Mexico.
Two weeks ago, Democrat operatives slammed Nevada's Sharron Angle for producing an ad against Harry Reid's lax record on border enforcement. Democrats claimed that the ad portrayed whites in a sympathetic light, and illegals as all Hispanic.
Yet as one can clearly see towards the end, unlike the Minnick ad, the Angle ad has one Hispanic construction worker expressing disdain at taxpayer money going to illegals. In contrast, in the opening scene of the Minnick ad, all the constituents he is meeting with are white.
Note - Ironically, in the past, Walt Minnick has been rather decent from a libertarian perspective as Democrats go. But most recently he declined to back repeal of ObamaCare. Polls show the race razor-tight.

NYC Democrat Councilmen move to outlaw whistling at women
NANNY-STATE UPDATE
From Eric Dondero:
Muslim men forcing women to wear ugly black burqas from head-to-toe on the streets of Brooklyn and Queens is apparently of no concern to the Democrat lawmakers in New York City. Rather, they're far more concerned about construction workers making catcalls to women passing by.
The Council is considering a law making catcalls, whistles and any welcoming gesture to females, illegal in the City of New York.
From the AP (via NBCNewYork.com) "NYC Considers a No Catcall Zone":
Councilmembers said they are open to many of the ideas, but said they are in the early stages of exploring just what can be done. If there were to be legislation, a key issue would be enforcement, since the concept of no-harassment zones could encroach on First Amendment rights.
NY Democrats declare War on the Working Man
A far-left feminist group called Hallaback is pushing the changes. According to the group, even an overly friendly Hello should be considered "lewd" and punishable by law. Working class men in New York are reacting with surprise. Continuing:
New York men who told the AP they have called out strange women on the street said they were doing it just to be friendly and seemed genuinely surprised that any attention can be unwelcome.
"We say hello, that's all, nothing derogatory," said Tony Alibrandi, 54, a construction worker taking a lunch break with several of his fellow workers. "We see a friendly face, we say hello."
Columnist David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy asks:
What next? Criminalizing bagels? Prohibiting nearly naked faux cowboys in Times Square? Locking porn stars out of the family suites at the Plaza? What would New York be without meat-headed construction workers hooting at Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, and all the other local beauties? If New York outlaws cat calls... is Paris going to outlaw rude waiters? Is Hollywood going to outlaw kissing studio executives' asses with collagen-injected lips? Is Mumbai going to outlaw insane taxi drivers? Is Moscow going to outlaw outlaws? Every city is as defined by its idiosyncratic flaws as it is by its monuments. If not exactly part of their charm, they are part of the character.
The New York Council consists of 51 members, 46 of whom are Democrats. There are 4 Republicans, and 1 Libertarian Party member (Dan Halloran of Queens who caucuses with the Republicans.)

Words to Consider from Earth at Risk
Opening Remarks of Derrick Jensen for Earth At Risk
“What is the problem?
Derrick Jensen
There’s a sense—a very real and overwhelmingly devastating sense—in which you could say that the problem is that this culture is killing the planet. One hundred and twenty species were driven extinct today. Another 120 will be driven extinct tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after. Ninety-seven percent of native forests are gone. Ninety-nine percent of native grasslands. Amphibian populations are collapsing, migratory songbird populations are collapsing, mollusk populations are collapsing, fish populations are collapsing, and so on. Nearly all rivers in the US (and world) are dammed. Dams are the death of rivers. There are two million dams in the United States alone: with 60,000 dams over 13 feet tall and 70,000 dams over 6 and a half feet tall. If we took out one of those 70,000 dams every day it would take two hundred years to remove those dams. And the salmon don’t have that time. Sturgeon don’t have that time. Ninety percent of the large fish in the oceans are gone. There is six to ten times as much plastic as phytoplankton in much of the oceans. The oceans are being acidified. The oceans are being murdered. Big cats are going. Great apes are going. Vertebrate evolution has effectively been ended by this culture. The world is being poisoned: there is dioxin (and many other carcinogens) in every (human and nonhuman) mother’s breast milk. More than half of the fish in many rivers are changing genders because of endocrine disrupting chemicals put out by this culture. And of course humans have grotesquely overshot carrying capacity, and are committing unparalleled drawdown.
And our response is utterly incommensurate with the multiple crises we face.
There’s a sense, however, in which the fact that this culture is killing the planet isn’t so much the problem as it is the ultimate expression of this insane culture’s deeper problem, which is that it is omnicidal. It doesn’t “just” destroy every nonhuman community it encounters, but it also destroys other human cultures: human languages are being driven extinct at an even greater relative rate than nonhuman species. It dispossesses or otherwise destroys indigenous cultures. It harms women: the gold standard studies reveal that 25 percent of all women in this culture have been raped in their lifetimes, and another 19 percent have had to fend off rape attempts.
Not every culture has destroyed its landbase. The Tolowa Indians, on whose land I live, lived here for at least 12,500 years, if you believe the myths of science. If you believe the myths of the Tolowa, they lived here since the beginning of time. Likewise, not every culture has had such extraordinarily high rates of rape, in fact many cultures, prior to conquest by this culture, have had either extraordinarily low rates of rape, or have been rape free. The same is true for child abuse.

Liberal Media acknowledge Sarah’s Super Hotness
From Eric Dondero:
The following comment warrants a big "Well, duh!"
It came from Sharon Osbourne of the CBS morning show The Talk:
“She is very attractive, but she's the type that you know the classic rock videos, the secretary, the teacher. She lets down her hair. She takes the glasses off. She unbuttons the shirt. Yeah, that's what she's like. Must be. I mean, I don't get it. But men obviously want it.”

Sarah Palin & Ted Nugent back together again; this time for John Raese – West Virginia
Working Class America!
by Eric Dondero
During the Texas GOP primry, Sarah Palin appeared at a huge rally in Sugarland, Texas for Governor Rick Perry. Opening the event, Ted Nugent with his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
(My wife and I attended this event, and it was spectacular.)
Now, the duo will appear together again, along with Alaska working man and super outdoorsman Todd Palin.
A rally is scheduled to 11:00 am in Charleston, West Virginia to boost Republican Senate candidate John Raese. He is in a statistical dead heat with Blue Dog Democrat Joe Manchin. The race is turning out to be the most pivotal in the entire Nation, and could decide the make-up of the US Senate. If Raese wins, and all other Senate races break according to current polls, Republicans will have the majority in the upper chamber.
Todd and Sarah's working class roots, should play particularly well in this hard-hat mostly blue collar state.
And Palin's appearance for Raese in the waning days of the campaign will be credited, justifiably so, for putting him over the top if he prevails.
The Queenmaker indeed.

China’s Space Station (Update)
China to launch manned space lab around 2020: report, Reuters
"China said on Wednesday it would launch a space lab to be manned for long stretches within about 10 years, a move it believes would bring it closer to the United States and Russia as powers capable of reaching the moon. The official Xinhua news agency, quoting an unidentified space official, said a trial space lab would be launched before 2016 to test equipment and techniques. But it was not clear if that lab would be manned for long periods."
NASA chief visits China manned space launch site, AP
"The visit succeeded in boosting understanding between the sides about their programs and the "importance of transparency, reciprocity and mutual benefit as the underlying principles of any future interaction between our two nations in the area of human spaceflight," Bolden was quoted as saying. No specific proposals were discussed during the visit, he said."
Keith's update: Hmm ... Bolden goes to China and doesn't discuss anything of importance. Then a few days after he gets home China announces that it is going to build its own space station.
US drifting from China in space, Asia Times Online
"In fact, Bolden and other NASA personnel must be very careful about what they say to Chinese space officials. Any discussion of specific projects involving joint cooperation on human space flight activities in particular is tantamount to a powder keg in Washington, DC. This delicate state of affairs has now taken on added meaning given China's announcement in late October that its own manned space station project has commenced with a possible completion date of 2020."
Orbital Paths of U.S., China Set to Diverge, Wall Street Journal
"Gen. Charles Bolden became the first head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to tour China's highly sensitive manned space flight facilities during his visit last week--access that both sides might have portrayed as a major breakthrough in a different climate. China then underlined the scale of its manned space program when it announced Wednesday that it planned to launch the first part of a manned space station by 2016, and to complete a "relatively large" laboratory by around 2020."
China is on path to 'militarization of space', Christian Science Monitor
"Meanwhile, some have pointed out that China's moonshot, like all space programs, has valuable potential military offshoots. China's space program is controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which is steadily gaining experience in remote communication and measurement, missile technology, and antisatellite warfare through missions like Chang'e 2."
China piecing together space station, Nature
"The Tiangong-2 space laboratory, which will be used for scientific experiments and to test living conditions, will be launched by 2016. The Tiangong-3 core cabin unit, which will extend the experimental facilities, will complete the ensemble in 2020. What this means for recent negotiations concerning China's participation in the International Space Station were not clear. "
China kicks off manned space station program, Xinhua
"China planned to launch two unmanned space modules, Tiangong-1 and Shenzhou-8, in 2011, which were expected to accomplish the country's first space docking and were regarded as an essential step toward building a space station. Tiangong-1, or Heavenly Palace, would eventually be transformed into a manned space laboratory after experimental dockings with Shenzhou-8, Shenzhou-9 and Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, with the last two carrying two or three astronauts each."
