batshit crazy.

Megan Fox is in town shooting a movie. I haven't seen her, though.

14:29,49:
Oh, sorry. You are right. This young lady is not old enough to be one of those girls.

She only LOOKS like one of them. :-)

I know people who are sick and tired of movie/tv shoots in their neighborhoods. They block streets, and cause all kinds of disruptions.

A rubber company in China has begun marketing condoms under the brand names Clinton and Lewinsky, apparently seeking to exploit the White House affair that led to the impeachment of America's 42nd president.
Spokesman Liu Wenhua of the Guangzhou Rubber Group said the company was handing out 100,000 free Clinton and Lewinsky condoms as part of a promotion to raise consumer awareness of its new products.

He said that after the promotion ends, the Clinton condoms will go on sale in southern China for 29.8 Yuan ($3.72) for a box of 12, while the Lewinsky model will be priced at 18.8 Yuan ($2.35) for the same quantity.

"The Clinton condom will be the top of our line," he said. "The Lewinsky condom is not quite as good."

"The Clinton condom will be the top of our line," he said. "The Lewinsky condom is not quite as good."

What? No "Client No. 9"?

How about one called the "Wifebeater"? They can put a big jackass on the box.

"...The Lewinsky condom is not quite as good."

I guess it doesn't need to be. Where it goes, you can't get pregnant.

Where'd you find that picture of one of the girls who voted me Best Looking in high school, Scottie?

Best Looking what? Eunuch? Circus Geek?

They probably also wrote you in as Most Likely To Be Picked Off First In Dodgeball too.

PROOF that there is NO man made global warming.

DC's got a Winter Storm Warning: Expecting another 10 - 20 inches!

Kings should win, they are a better team.

But just like yesterday, who knows?

Not me.

DC's got a Winter Storm Warning: Expecting another 10 - 20 inches!

nice.

the longer that town can stay shut down, the better off we'll all be.

Dow finishes up down another 100+ points.

Under 10K again.

Halfwit, you want to explain to us again how the market is a sign that the Spendulus is working?

We'd appreciate that. Thanks.

down not up

Yewww!

DC's got a Winter Storm Warning: Expecting another 10 - 20 inches!

Another sure sign that GW/CC is melting the glaciers and destroying the rainforests!!

You are such an ignorant ass harry.

The Dow is up strongly in the last year. And if you read anything beyond what you find on your wignut sites, you would see that much of the concern is on what is happening OUTSIDE of the US.

It is a global economy now.

The Stimulus bill has already saved and added jobs in the US and will continue to do so as more of it is spent.

I know, you would rather have let the banks collapse, the credit markets world wide collapse and have US unemployment at 25%. But it isn't and it pisses you off to no end.

I am surprised to see that Pat Robertson has yet to blame the snow in DC on the attempt to repeal DADT!

Rep. John Murtha, ......, died Monday."


And the world becomes a much better place.

The Stimulus bill has already saved and added jobs in the US and will continue to do so as more of it is spent.

not in the private sector.

Well which is it you effin retard?

Last week it was a sign of the Spendulus, a domestic program and now you're saying it's a global economic barometter. It's one or the other. Can't be both.

The Stimulus bill has already saved and added jobs in the US and will continue to do so as more of it is spent.

And just so you know dumbass the real unemployment rate is around 25%. The BLS doesn't count people who gave up looking. That's why the UR went down a notch.

But keep clicking your heels together Dorothy! I wanna go home! I wanna go home!!



LOL! Yeah. Sure thing dipwad. How many jobs per lawnmowers would that be again?

Someone needs to tell the posters at 15:16 and 15:24 that humor doesn't work so well when it's full of spite.

That's why my humor is knee-slappingly funny, and theirs isn't.
Smilin' Jimmy :-)

The Stimulus bill has already saved and added jobs in the US and will continue to do so as more of it is spent."


The above is a parrot, nothing more.

The parrot is unable or unwilling to unlearn past faults data, he is only able to endlessly repeat.

A Harvard Econonomist tells us the parrot is wrong.

Ah, the board putz joins the chorus of ignorance.

The Parrot continues:

"you would see that much of the concern is on what is happening OUTSIDE of the US."

he is very good at toeing the Obama line, he has no original thoughts.

I am surprised to see that Pat Robertson has yet to blame the snow in DC on the attempt to repeal DADT!

While why don't you just pretend he said it then and make it an official fucktard talking points?

It's not like everyone would be shocked if you got caught lying again.

Ah, the board putz joins the chorus of ignorance.

That's no way to talk about your shower partner trunk monkey halfwit.

You might have hurt his feewings.

I posted last week, two articles, one from the Wa Po and the other from the NY Times, both stating that the concensus among most, not all, but most, that the stimulus has had positive effect on employment.

But revel in your ignorance and cherry picking of right wing sites with an agenda.

RCPs POJA aggregrate shows Dear Leader with a .9% approval. Even a slanted DKOS/R2000 poll can only show a tie.

More upticks as they become available.

Another point of light sure to be ignored by those on the right.

Ironically, the portion of the budget over which Congress actually has meaningful control has fallen sharply over time. In 1970 the discretionary portion of the budget--those programs and operations subject to annual appropriations, was 61.5% of all spending. The rest consists of mandatory programs like Social Security, Medicare and interest on the debt that are not subject to annual appropriations. Their spending is automatic and cannot be reduced just by appropriating less money to them. In 2009 the discretionary portion of the budget was down to just 35.2% of spending.

I hit send too early.

Hate it when that happens.

Again fucktard, you, the WaPo and the NYT can say everybody on the planet can make that claim.

But without a group of names it's just more lies and bullshit.

Kinda like CNN talking about Dear Leades "bipartisan" Superbowl party at the WH that had one GOPper.

So fruitcake, when you get a list of these illusive economists, let me know.

But you won't. Because you can't. These economists are fictional, just like the Spendulus and the jobs saved/created claim your Plastic Jesus continues to peddle.

LOL! More crap from the Republican Bruce Barlett.

Bartletts a lying toadie of the left you retard. He not only campaigned for Obama and the Dimocrats he voted for them too.

Nice try dickhead.

Teabagger Insanity that would fit right here on this blog.

High ticket prices aside, the Tea Partiers who made it to Nashville made up a representative — if slightly wealthier than average — cross-section of the movement. The overwhelming number of attendees were white, and when World Net Daily Editor-in-Chief Joseph Farah took a moment in his Friday night speech to ask how many of them were “born between 1946 and 1961,” the vast majority of hands shot up. On Friday night, Andrew Breitbart introduced “Generation Zero,” a splashy documentary that argues that the financial crisis was deliberately engineered by radical 1960s ideologues. Footage of dancing hippies and pictures of Saul Alinksy — the radical organizer who has become a household name among Tea Parties — were intercut with conservative writers like Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund, historian Victor Davis Hanson, and Manhattan Institute scholar Heather MacDonald, explaining how left-wing theorists had long wanted to bring down capitalism and replace it with a socialist society. In a breakout session on immigration policy, Tancredo explained to Tea Partiers that Democrats wanted immigration reform in order to enfranchise millions of new voters to put them in perpetual power.

All Bartlett is pointing out, dumbass, is that the discretionary spending portion of the budget has decreased by about 50% in the last 40 years.

I posted last week, two articles, one from the Wa Po and the other from the NY Times, both stating that the concensus among most, not all, but most, that the stimulus has had positive effect on employment.

that's nice.

too bad there's no hard evidence to back up those liberal "feelings."

It wasn't "feelings" it was based on interviews with economists, not only liberal ones either.

Nice lie, jackass.

It wasn't "feelings" it was based on interviews with economists, not only liberal ones either.

who had no concrete evidence, but rather based their conclusions on gut feelings.

cheezus.

the white house has a whole fleet of tanker trucks carrying water for them.

that's one helluva carbon footprint.

Parrot, did those same economist give the definition of a "saved" job?

Because I have economist that I can quote that have their view of that unicorn you call a saved job.

We found some shovel ready jobs being performed in DC over the weekend. If the no more snow in DC prediction comes true this Weds, they will be back at their shovels, working.

Parrot, did those same economist give the definition of a "saved" job?

a saved job is any job - real or imagined - mentioned by anyone whose lips are firmly planted on dear leaders ass.

It wasn't "feelings" it was based on interviews with economists, not only liberal ones either.

None of which bothered to go on record of course.

The reason would be of course that these same dupes, to a man, probably supported the Spendulus in the first place.

But the finer points like that are irrelevant to waterboys like halfwit. Just generalites that support the TPs or stuff that gets the other primates to chest thumping.

Rat, be nice to the Parrot he out looking for quotes from his Conservative Economist that he is going to provide here to support his point that the recovery is the work of the Only ONE.

Well in Ohio they spent a million on signs touting that stuff is being done by the Spendulus.

So at least some guys at Home Depot who already have jobs and some painters who may or may not have had jobs have now been created/or saved.

I mean if one lawn mower purchases saves/creates 50 jobs then 1 million in paint a plywood probably took care of all of Ohios unemployed.

Oops! According to the BLS Ohio has an unemployment rate of 10.9%

No Hopey Changey magic there.

LOL.. Palin uses a "PalmPrompter"

They did go on record, dumbass.

Another lie.

This then the hockey game.

Life is good.

dagnab that data...

"...NOAA is warning of “earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons.” But what NOAA isn’t saying is that snow is falling earlier and heavier in the Northern Hemisphere. Rutgers University Global Snow Lab has reported that January was the sixth snowiest on record, and that six out of the last eight Januaries were above normal snowfall.

January, 2008 saw the second greatest snow extent ever recorded. December was the third snowiest on record in the Northern Hemisphere and seventeen out of last twenty-one Decembers were above normal snowfall. November was above normal snowfall and fifteen out of the last nineteen Novembers have had above average snowfall. October was the sixth snowiest October on record and seven out of the last ten Octobers have had above average snowfall."

Geez, the idiots that confuse weather with climate are out in force!

Are you going to?

No.

Geez, the idiots that confuse weather with climate are out in force!

wow, you are right hb, how small of me to assume that weather has something to do with climate....

it is nice to be able to profess 2010 the Warmest Year In The History Of The Universe without even considering the weather that it was composed of.

"Idiots" are the ones lock-stepped behind manufactured data to fit their Religion.

how badly Government Motors is beating on Toyota.

what i have heard is the toyota's problem is actually not a mechanical issue but something to do with the program that runs the car's computer. from what i have heard, and it is hearsay, toyota sholud be reprogramming the computers, but the cost wolud be in the billions. the government is allowing toyota to make a "fix" that really does not address the root cause.

i await the truth.

i blame Obama....chuckle

Jobs meeting was a bust, the ONE telling the Republicans to do what he wants and then he issued veiled threats at the Republicans.

Until nottheONE stops his fit throwing the Adults (Republicans) should just let him flail away.

i blame Obama....chuckle

Chuckle.

Scottie, it is Alinsky Motors and the EVIL UAW.

It is true, I saw rat say so!!!!!!!!

I blame Obama too.

your side does not believe the American justice system is capable of handling terorists.

well, i'm not sure it depends what side you are on to look at this objectively.

the facts are that the american justice system is tasked with controlling crime and bringing felons to justice.

the facts are that there are murders and other crimes committed on a daily basis. the courts are backlogged with non-terrorist committed crimes so obviously the part about controlling crime is not being undertaken with as great a proficiency as ideally desired.

so when a murderer or even a serial murderer kills 18 people over three years, we have a system that may catch that person, maybe if lucky in five years.

so when it comes to terrorism i just think there may be another tool in the tool bag we need to keep us safe.

jmo

Is it time for the Progressives to engauge in honest debate, I think it is.


the new word coming out of mr coffee's mouth these days is "WE", as in we have the unbelievable majority in the US House and Senate and I will rubber stamp anything that makes its' way to my desk that has a hint of being called HCR.

Now for the NEW WE, the new WE is darn it, my own party can't get shit done so I am begging and bowing to the minority Party to come bail my ass out.

So when you hear nottheONE begging and bowing to the right remember HB,JBitchD and Jane, err James are in this with obama.

Izzy, your very questioning of this Administration means you are siding with the terrorist.

If, you think I am joking look at the kind of idiot the CnC has working for him.

so when it comes to terrorism i just think there may be another tool in the tool bag we need to keep us safe.

I think we're getting and have gotten much better with these creeps.

It's just beyond me why anyone with an ounce of common sense would want KSM tried in NYC - costing NYC untold millions - and for what? A show trial?

What's the point?

To show that our system works?

LMAO!

Look at our prisons for chrissakes - of course our system works (for the most part).

mr coffee might just be waking up and smelling the coffee on the following issues.
1, His party can not deliver any kind of a meanless HCR bill, so he begs and bows to the Republicans with a public "Please save me.

2, NY has told him to keep the killers out of the NY Federal Courts, he has been told to sit down and shut up, and he did, now he is attempting to save face.

He works for a Democrat coward who does not wants to waterboard everyone give aid and comfort to al-quaeda.

Exactly.

Twittiot, when you take on comments like the fucking rat makes, then you may get an ounce of credibility. But you won't, you will "chuckle" at this kind of crap.

Shut up and answer CH you damned old fool.

You morons, they could have deemed Reid an "enemy combatant" as they did Padilla and put him in military custody and started waterboarding A.S.A.P.!

The other thread is full already, of right wing lies and distortions!

Looking again at that John Brennan op-ed in USA Today, I see he refers to Abdulmutallab as a "suspect" but asserts that administration critics, ipso facto, "serve the goals of al-Qaeda."

In other words, in the eyes of one the administration's top men on counterterrorism, Abdulmutallab gets a presumption of innocence that you and I don't.

t's just beyond me why anyone with an ounce of common sense would want KSM tried in NYC - costing NYC untold millions

Something i have wondered, is it "illegal" to set up a court at the prison in IL(the place rumored to be where they will be moved to from gitmo) and just try them there on site?

And of course, there is no credibility in those who claim that all Democrats are terrarist sympathizers who want to restore the Caliphate.

Get out the waterboards boys, it's gonna be fun!

Morons.

Progressives after O'bowtothem is done begging and bowing to the Republicans, what will his vast majority of "WE WON" democrats be able to claim as real work that was done in the last two years?

Jobs - nope lost 4.2 million of those, by Nov 10, he will be lucky if that number is down to 4 million lost jobs.

Unemployment - wrong again, he will be lucky if it is down to 9.2 %

Blame Bush - after half a term with super duper majorities you really think you can fool the same fools into voting for ya again.

Deficit reduction - oh god help ya.

HCR - we won - and you got nada done.


Terrorism, well man made over sea's policing actions, err what?, you are now back to calling it terrorism, two successful attacks on US soil, good luck on selling that safer thingy.

So what did you deliver on?

WW, I understand the political and logistical nightmare trying KSM in NYC would entail and tend to agree with you. Try him at the prison, it's a short trip to the death chamber from there.

HB you are not making any sense.

Seventy-five percent of independents have a favorable view of the tea party movement.

DC Mayor tells Pres. Obama to send more money and more shovels for the up coming snow (sorry JFK Jr. it does still snow in DC).

The Mayor announced that they have used all of the money allocated for snow removal and are taking funds from other accounts within the city to pay for the most basic of duties that the city is charged with, public safety and snow removal.

The Mayor warns that job cuts will occur IF new funding is not "found" to pay for snow removal.

hey k'putz, who paid for your frontal lobotomy?

They don't have a very good reputation. There are partisan and go way over the line in getting the results they desire.

but even if it's not 75% of indys; say it's 50% that have a favorable view of the tea party movement. that's a big number and one that the white house is not paying attention to.

HB, your inability to support your economic claims is proof that you did not have what you told us you did, it is not a challenge anymore to catch you lying.

So, spin and name call all you like. you have shrunk so small I can barely see you.


I love your "WE WON" and "so suck on it" rant, priceless gifts.

President Obama is now longer to be taken seriously on any economic matter.


Today he announce that he knows how to create jobs.

and he needs to keep talking.

everything this administration is doing makes them look like the keystone cops on a 3-day bender.

Today he announce that he knows how to create jobs.

Considering under his leadership 4.3 million Americans have lost their jobs that sounds a lot like some gransdiose bullshit.

BTW going back to the Dems takeover of congress over 8 million Americans have lost their jobs.

Do you miss me yet?

LOL!

Brennan put him in his place and told the truth.

Sure he did and Michael Moore's not a fat lying bastard.

This is sure to result in screams of "DICTATOR!!" and "President Alinsky!" on CHT

In a surprise appearance before the White House press corps on Tuesday, President Barack Obama announced he would consider using recess appointments to get his nominees to their posts if Senate Republicans deny them an up-or-down vote.

Speaking to reporters shortly after he met with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders, Obama said that he informed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) that he would "consider" such a course of action if the GOP obstructionism continued.

"In our meeting I asked the congressional leadership to put a stop to these holds in which nominees for a critical job are denied a vote for months," he said.

"If the Senate does not act, and I made this very clear," Obama continued, "I will consider making several recess appointments during the upcoming recess because we can't afford to let politics stand in the way of a well functioning government."

On Tuesday, one of those nominees -- Craig Becker, who Obama appointed to sit on the National Labor Relations Board -- is slated to come up for a vote Senate. His confirmation was thrown into serious doubt recently when Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) indicated he would vote against cloture. Should Obama appoint Becker to the post through a recess appointment, he would be able to serve until the end of 2011 before requiring re-confirmation.

Noting the length that some nominations have been held up in Congress as well as the blanket hold that Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) placed on all presidential nominees last week, Obama called on lawmakers to "get past the tired debates that have plagued our politics."

In a surprise appearance before the White House press corps on Tuesday, President Barack Obama announced he would consider using recess appointments to get his nominees to their posts if Senate Republicans deny them an up-or-down vote.

Man that 59-41 Republican majority sure is obstructionist alrighty!!!

Obama called on lawmakers to "get past the tired debates that have plagued our politics."

"I won!"

Senate Democrats unveil Shit Sandwich

"If the Senate does not act, and I made this very clear," Obama continued, "I will consider making several recess appointments during the upcoming recess because we can't afford to let politics stand in the way of a well functioning government."

go for it, asswipe.

Man that 59-41 Republican majority sure is obstructionist alrighty!!!

fucking amazing, no?

democratics are such cowards politically, no wonder everyone sees them as being weak on national secirity and terrorism.

Considering under his leadership 4.3 million Americans have lost their jobs that sounds a lot like some gransdiose bullshit.

bho promised that the $787B porkulus would keep unenjoyment at 8%.

and now he expects us to believe that he knows how to create jobs.

LMAO!!!

Did Obama announce who the new Green Job Czar is going to be, recall, he told us those are the jobs that will lead us out of this joblessness.

He sure talks pretty and sure keeps failing.

Oh and you are now siding with the terrorist if you talk about how the Presididn't failed to keep us safe on Christmas day.


HB that Christmas day attack just keeps biting your team in the ass.

Almost any talk of bipartisanship can produce skittishness among Obama’s political base that he is preparing to cave in on their core priorities. So it was notable that Obama coupled his message of bipartisanship Tuesday with something hardcore Democrats are likely to celebrate: his most forceful public comments to date expressing frustration at the Senate’s failure to act on many of his nominees.


wow. such political courage.

LOL.

this man is a GIANT among fucktards.

Uh-Oh. When Obama Hears Good Things From CEOs, It Doesn't End Pretty.

An Obama statement from today to file away for future reference: "The CEOs I talked to are saying they are now making investments, and I anticipate that they're going to start hiring at a more rapid clip."

These sorts of statements have a tendency to not work out well for President Obama, at least so far.

Just about a year ago, Obama said, "Yesterday, Jim, the head of Caterpillar, said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off."

Caterpillar was offering "Hey, wait, we didn't really say that" cautions the day afterward.

Then in March, Caterpillar laid off about 2,400 workers.

And then in July: "Thousands of Caterpillar Inc. employees will either be on vacation or temporarily laid off in the Peoria area over the next two weeks, the company confirmed Friday."

All told, it was a brutal year: "The company has saved its bottom line from turning red by making a series of vicious cost cuts, including 30,000 layoffs."

So when "they'll be rehiring people" means "tens of thousands will be laid off," perhaps we should be wary of happy talk from CEOs to the president.

Obama's Style of Governing Popularizes Conservatism Like Nothing Else

Henry Blodget: "On TechTicker this morning, Gary Shilling highlighted a trend that many folks are increasingly angry about: The growing divergence between private sector and public sector compensation and benefits. Specifically, many public sector employees now make a lot more than their private sector counterparts. And that, says Gary, will eventually lead to a tax revolt."

Wait, there's more: "The number of federal employees making $100,000 or more has increased by 120,595, from 262,163 employees in December 2007 to 382,758 in June 2009, for a 46% increase. The number of federal workers making $150,000 or more has more than doubled since the recession started, from about 30,000 to more than 66,000 (see chart above)."

(Actually, there are some government jobs I don't mind paying top dollar for. For example, I'd gladly pay $100,000 or more to the folks out trying to catch bin Laden and his cohorts. But in that case, I'd just prefer to move to cash bonus system for each body part they recover.)


So, does this revolt catch fire this tax season or next?

his most forceful public comments to date expressing frustration at the Senate’s failure to act on many of his nominees.

Followed by a stongly worded letter?

Mr Nasty points a crooked finger again!

We are now enjoying the Obama recovery.

Something i have wondered, is it "illegal" to set up a court at the prison in IL(the place rumored to be where they will be moved to from gitmo) and just try them there on site?

Yes, it's legal - but it isn't quite ready - I think I heard it's going to take a year.

I don't give a flyin' flip if it's a civilian court - just not in NYC - another Federal Court House - since Obama is bound and determined to have a circus -

Madness I tell ya - madness.

Democrats in Congress are holding White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel accountable for his part in the collapse of healthcare reform.

The emerging consensus among critics in both chambers is that Emanuel’s lack of Senate experience slowed President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority."

Yeah lets just completely ignore Dear Leaders lack of Executive experience let alone his own lack of Senate experience and just blame it on Rahmbo.

Fucking retards!

hey k'putz, who paid for your frontal lobotomy?

Still not talking to Mich I see.

chuckle - lol

Republicans are in the wrong on most issues.

One of the more commonplace assertions among pundits on the center-right -- made rather carelessly by Victor Davis Hanson and more thoughtfully by Jay Cost, is that agenda put forward by Obama and the Democrats is overwhelmingly unpopular and that Democrats are simply getting their comeuppance for having pushed such a liberal set of reforms forward. These claims, however, rely on selective evidence, invariably citing policies like health care and the GM bailouts which are indeed unpopular (strongly so, in some cases), while ignoring many other issues on which Obama has been on the right side of public opinion.

In fact, a more objective and equivocal evaluation of public opinion on more than two dozen specific issues finds that the Republican Congress has far more often been on the wrong side of it. Attempting to be as comprehensive as possible, I've identified 25 issues that Obama and the Democrats have made an affirmative effort to push forward since taking office a year ago, and summarized public opinion on each of them. Most of the numbers that I've cited come from PollingReport.com.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Email your god and tell him "just do it" - k?

Yep. Thank God the GOP has that 59-41 Republican majority or the Democrats or the would be just walking all over us!

Nate Silver is an asshat.

Republicans are in the wrong on most issues.

Lmao - did this guy read what he wrote?

So who are all these Republicans holding up Dear Leaders flacks from becoming further embarrasments to his administration?

did this guy read what he wrote?

I'm sure Nate Silver believes his own bullshit like Klein and all the other dipwads who still don't fucking get what the public is saying.

Denial on a massive scale. Pretty predictable from a crowd that as a democgraphic is low on self-esteem yet huge on personal ego and self righteousness.

This guy said it best -

"Walker said...
538.com Brethren,

For the sake of argument let's take Nate's assumptions at face value, i.e., that a clear majorioty of Obama and the Democrats policy objectives have majority support among the American people.

If that is the case, the current administration and the congressional Democratic leadership are the biggest bunch of screw-ups in the history of American politics, bar none.

You have to go back to the corrupt, dufus governments in the late 19th century to find such incompetence.

Bad argument, Nate."

lol

There were several posters on that thread that called Silver to the table.

The guy has made no secret he was a lib but lately he's just turned into a spin merchant for Obama and the Dems.

He's lost all credibility.

Well, I see that China is threatening to sell our debt -

So - what does Obama and his merry band of progressive liberals do?

Nothing - just keep on spending - that's always a great idea.

Well well. Look what I found.

Apparently Sessions has lifted all but 3 of his 70 holds on Dear Leaders future embarrassments.

So who's holding up the show?

Or is it more fake posturing by The One and his puppetmasters?

Nite all!

Has anyone told 'the genius" that Shelby isn't GA senator?

It wouldn't do any good - he'd still make the claim...

the NLRB appointment is troubling because the guy bho is trying to appoint is an SEIU/andy stern lackey. some piece of shit attorney who thinks he can push through card-check by executive privilege/order.

the repubs are correct in blocking becker. he's dangerous.

The Democratic Congress is shirking its oversight responsibility

Shirking responsibility?

Say it ain't so joe -

Obama and his gang of thugs would make Capone envious.

Now - logic would dictate that owing China trillions of dollars is not a good thing -

China PLA officers urge economic punch against U.S.

But, but but - Obama isn't finished spending

Sean Payton's Testicles Named Super Bowl Co-MVPs

For the first time since Super Bowl XII the Super Bowl MVP will be shared. In 1978 Randy White and Harvey Martin of the Dallas Cowboys shared the award, and now the left and right nuts of New Orleans Saints' head coach Sean Payton have earned the honor.

"They stepped up huge for us," said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the win. "They don't get a lot of attention because they're hidden inside his pants, but we couldn't have won without them."

Despite being smaller than every player on the field at just 140 pounds apiece, Payton's testicles proved the difference in the game by calling for an onside kick to open the second half. This after going for it on 4th-and-goal -- and failing -- late in the second half. The Saints recovered the kick and scored their first touchdown of the game, taking the lead in the game.

"I don't know which one of them called for it, or if they made the decision together," said Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey. "But I wanted to hug his entire scrotum after we got the kick."

Indianapolis head coach Jim Caldwell said he could only tip his cap to Payton's nuts.

"We prepared for Drew Brees, we prepared for their running backs and receivers," he said. "But we couldn't contain his balls. They overwhelmed us."

With their newfound notoriety, Payton's testicles are expected to have numerous endorsement and adult film opportunities. But they are first headed to Disney World.

"My wife and I are taking a much needed vacation," said Payton. "My testicles still have some work to do."

That's pretty funny.

In case you are a Progressive and you did not get the talking points memo, it is your duty to start happy talking the US economy, here is a starting point.


A new White House economic forecast showed Thursday the US economy is set to start producing job growth this year at a rate of 95,000 per month, but that the unemployment rate will remain high.

President Barack Obama's annual economic report to Congress said the economy is on the verge of pulling out of a period of steep job losses stemming from the worst recession in decades.

But the report also said that the unemployment rate may not come down much from the current level of 9.7 percent, and may even rise because of labor market growth and the return of more discouraged workers to the labor force.

The White House forecast, most of which was previously released with budget documents, calls for growth in gross domestic product of around 3.0 percent in 2010 and an average unemployment rate of 10.0 percent.

"Because projected GDP growth is only slightly stronger than potential growth, relatively little decline is projected in the unemployment rate during 2010," the report prepared by the president's Council of Economic Advisors said.

"Indeed, it is possible that the rate will rise for a while as some discouraged workers return to the labor force, before starting to generally decline. Consistent with this, employment growth is projected to be roughly equal to normal trend growth of about 100,000 per month."

This was discussed - and laughed over - at the luncheon I attended with area small businesses the other day - we would have cried - but we made a pact - no crying!

Obamateurism of the Day

The guy doesn't have a clue - and apparently isn't smart enough to buy one -

"Er, no. While businesses use loans to bridge gaps between purchasing inventory and sales, and to ensure continuity of payroll in some instances, they don’t buy extra inventory and hire extra people unless they know that the demand will meet the supply. Given the state of the economy, no sane businessman would take out bank loans to expand inventory and personnel — a very expensive proposition — without having made certain that those costs will get recouped in the short term. Even at the peak of the most recent expansion, most companies wouldn’t commit to any capital expenses without showing a cost recovery in the same fiscal year, and we are most certainly not in an expanding economy now."

For most of us - it's not rocket science - apparently it is for Obama.

We're so screwed for the next three years...

“if Democrats were still like Charlie Wilson, I would still be a Democrat.”

Well, they're not.

It’s not surprising that more than half of democrats view socialism positively. The only major political group to hold that viewpoint. By contrast over seventy percent of republicans and conservatives view socialism negatively.

Exactly - it's not surprising at all.
