Fool vs

Posted: Oct 28, 2013

The difference in a fool and a wise man is that a fool forms his ideas, then studies for facts to substantiate them, while the wise man studies to learn the truth first. hmmm. I think we have a fool in our midst! ;

Bingo. Darrell Issa still in search of something - that'll stick! nm

the person in charge of national park services to find out why he closed the parks... after the GOP closed down the gov?

He's a joke to us conservatives. First - Fast and Furious,

Benghazi, the IRS, now Obamacare; all of Issa’s “investigations” turn into the political equivalent of outer space black holes. Dead-End Darrell strikes again...

I believe all those things happened, I just don't like Issa.

Like McCarthy. Make outrageous charges for media attention, then - attack something else when the questions begin. nm

Googling Issa car theft, military record, fire turn - up a lot of investigations into his past. His brot

has gone to prison, but Issa ended up worth over $700 million and going to Congress. The insurance company report mentioned below found a peculiar lack of information about where Issa's initial start-up money came from.

Note that after this fire, Issa agreed to accept $20K from his insurance company, instead of the hundreds of thousands he claimed. Making nuisance payments to close cases is SOP for insurance companies.

"But probably the most suspicious and most uninvestigated event in Issa's checkered past is the mysterious 1982 fire at his factory at a time where he was buying out the owner of Steal Stopper, the predecessor to Issa's car alarm company. Issa quadrupled his insurance coverage and then boom! The place burned down. Lizza:

Joey Adkins, the former owner of Steal Stopper, provided the main evidence against Issa. On the afternoon of September 20, 1982, in a lengthy recorded interview with an insurance investigator, he described a series of suspicious actions by Issa before the fire. Adkins, who still worked for Steal Stopper, said that Issa removed the company’s Apple II computer from the building, including “all hardware, all software, all the instruction books,” and also “the discs for accounts payable, accounts receivable, customer list, everything.” According to Adkins, Issa also transferred a copy of every design used by Steal Stopper from a filing cabinet to a fireproof box. He also said that Issa put in the box some important silk screens used in the production of circuit boards. Insurance officials noted that, less than three weeks before the fire, Issa had increased his insurance from a hundred thousand dollars to four hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars. “Quite frankly,” Adkins told the investigator, “I feel the man set the fire.”

So did the insurance company. They finally settled out of court for about $20,000, which was a fraction of what Issa had sued them for.

Not mentioned in the Bashir discussion but equally interesting is this small nugget:

The insurance company, meanwhile, had found something peculiar about Issa, unrelated to the arson: there was no indication of where his initial capital came from. After interviewing a family member, an investigator reported, “She was unable to advise us as to his financial banking [sic] to become an officer in Quantum Inc.” A second report noted, “We were unable to find the source of his financing for the business ventures he is engaged in at the present time.”

This is the guy holding himself out as the crusader for What is Right and Just. Or as Bashir called him, a "paragon of virtue."

Hi...I am dating someone who was upset and having financial problems. I decided last week to give him some money to help him get caught up. The amount I gave him was exactly the amount he said he was short on his bills. I gave him a check. He did not deposit it until a week later (this past tues) and then yesterday while I was at his house he showed off a used knife he had just bought for $25 and then went and bought liquor to share with his brother and cousins (who are unemployed right no ...

An elitist wannabe, he mocked/blamed Bush. He mocked Romney over Russia. He mocked the world by calling ISIS the JV team. He made of fun of the Syrian resistance as a bunch of lawyers, bankers, etc., now the very people he wants to fund to carry out his "war" that he could have prevented by doing something about ISIS a year ago. Great foreign policy there, BO. Just like all other factors of your presidency, you'll go down as an epic fail, even worse than your pal, Jimmy. ...

He stated he's supporting Trump. Really? Don't think so. He's a freaking liar, but then, anyone with sense knows that. He's really on Hillary's side and worried. He knows how much people hate him for supporting OWS like most of the liberal progressive Democrats, his anarchy stance and his free-stuff-hate-corporations stance and more. Heaven forbid he lets people know that he really wants Hillary as president since Bernie is out of the race.. Now, he p ...

I guess it is not a joke as I sit here looking out my window. My area of Maine is expected to get 8-14 inches of snow with wind gusts between 35-50 mph today. It is a wet and heavy snow so it is sticking to everything and does look nice, but not on April 1st. It will not last long and will melt quickly, but it does not give you the spring fever you should be feeling this time of year. I want to hear the birds chirping and see the trees budding - does not look too pro ...

The state of New York looks to be the next state with plans to re-brand the Common Core by calling it something else but otherwise making virtually no substantive curriculum changes. New York Board of Regents chancellor Merryl Tisch announced in a public radio interview on Tuesday that education bureaucrats are “toying with” the possibility of a new statewide name for the perpetually unpopular Common Core State Standards Initiative... There is so much politicization about those words ...

In the rarified atmosphere of Mount Olympus, "America" is regarded as a Monopoly board, invented just for them, with the purpose of winning personal wealth and power. Setting the commoners at each others' throats, dividing them into camps and encouraging suspicion and hatred between them, is just one of the game strategies that they employ. So...here we are, huddled around our respective fires, listening to the elders tell frightening lies about "those hateful others" who dance with t ...
