From the Kansas City Star’s Barb Shelly –
What kind of church would embrace George Tiller?
A church that believes the creator endowed human beings with both conscience and intelligence, to enable us to wrestle with the complicated questions. A church that recognizes that one’s relationship with that creator can’t be dictated by a central authority, or proscribed by a narrow list of rules.
Tiller’s church, Reformation Lutheran in Wichita, Kan., is one that trusts its members with the freedom to decide on matters of conscience. It holds that a choice made for good reasons and in good faith does not separate a human being from God.
Some call this “relativism,” and blame it for a decline in morals and corruption of society.
I call it freedom. And, as with the right of a woman to decide on what terms to bring a child into the world, we should be vigilant against anyone or anything that would take it away.
“Monday, June 08, 2009
Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on six out of 10 key issues, including the top issue of the economy.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now trust the GOP more to handle economic issues, while 39% trust Democrats more.
This is the first time in over two years of polling that the GOP has held the advantage on this issue.”
No surprise here
Rasmussen has about as much credibility as The Onion.
Just ask President McCain.
“Some call this “relativism,” and blame it for a decline in morals and corruption of society.”
———–
Yup. You can justify anything when you don’t believe in moral absolutes.
You can also justify about anything when you DO believe in moral absolutes.
“Republican Representative Darrell Issa from California says when California tried to lower its $20 billion deficit, it offered to cut the pay of health care workers. Union health care workers of the Service Employees International Union or SEIU, Issa said, “ran to Washington to get Obama’s help.”
The Obama government then told California it would not get its stimulus money if the union workers didn’t get all their pay: the stimulus forbids such action against unions, the stimulus law says.
“But who wrote the stimulus?” Issa asks. “The stimulus was written in the dark of night by the unions in Washington DC,” Issa said, with instructions from Nancy Pelosi and other key Democrat lawmakers.”
Our union president and CEO, Barack Obama dictating to the states is but one example of what happens when states accept bribery money.
States rights are no longer important. Libs are mum on this now, but just wait until the republicans or another party returns to power someday.
Short Circuiting The Scientific Process – A Serious Problem In The Climate Science Community
8 06 2009
Guest post from Roger Pielke Sr., originally posted on Climate Science
There has been a development over the last 10-15 years or so in the scientific peer reviewed literature that is short circuiting the scientific method.
The scientific method involves developing a hypothesis and then seeking to refute it. If all attempts to discredit the hypothesis fails, we start to accept the proposed theory as being an accurate description of how the real world works.
A useful summary of the scientific method is given on the website sciencebuddies.org.where they list six steps
* Ask a Question
* Do Background Research
* Construct a Hypothesis
* Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
* Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
* Communicate Your Results
Unfortunately, in recent years papers have been published in the peer reviewed literature that fail to follow these proper steps of scientific investigation. These papers are short circuiting the scientific method.
Specifically, papers that present predictions of the climate decades into the future have proliferated. Just a two recent examples (and there are many others) are
Hu, A., G. A. Meehl, W. Han, and J. Yin (2009), Transient response of the MOC and climate to potential melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the 21st century, Geophys. Res. Lett., 36, L10707, doi:10.1029/2009GL037998.
Solomon, S. 2009: Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Published online before print January 28, 2009, doi: 10.1073/pnas.0812721106
Such studies are even reported in the media before the peer reviewed process is completed; e.g. see in the article by Hannad Hoag in the May 27 2009 issue of Nature News Hot times ahead for the Wild West.
These studies are based on models, of which only a portion of which represent basic physics (e.g. the pressure gradient force, advection and the universal gravitational constant), with the remainder of the physics parameterized with tuned engineering code (e.g see).
When I served as Chief Editor of the Monthly Weather Reviews (1981-1985), The Co-Chief Editor of the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences (1996-2000), and as Editor-in-Chief of the US National Science Report to the IUGG for the American Geophysical Union (1993-1996), such papers would never have been accepted.
What the current publication process has evolved into, at the detriment of proper scientific investigation, are the publication of untested (and often untestable) hypotheses. The fourth step in the scientific method “Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment” is bypassed.
This is a main reason that the policy community is being significantly misinformed about the actual status of our understanding of the climate system and the role of humans within it.
On a recent webcast of his daily radio talk show, Wiley Drake, former second vice-president of the Southern Baptist Convention, called last Sunday’s murder of Tiller “an answer to prayer.” Then during an interview with Alan Colmes on Fox News Radio, Drake said he was praying the same type of “imprecatory prayer” against the president of the United States.

Republicans tend to hate Republicans. A new USA Today/Gallup poll shows that 1/3 of Republicans hate their party. What’s even more surprising is that only 4% of Democrats hate the Democratic party. Typically Democrats hate everything, especially Democrats but it seems the role is reversed.
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/06/poll-one-in-three-republicans-sour-on-their-party/
Maybe it has something to do with the fact the Republican party is a bunch of terrorist sympathizing America haters who can’t be trusted with pappy’s credit card.
MH, it’s not surprising. If you want to hear terrorists promoting murder then you don’t need to go all the way to a mosque, you can just go to your nearest fundy church and hear the same rhetoric.
Is there anything fundies don’t hate (apart from murder that is, they love them some violence).
Healthcare reform [no socialized medicine]:
The first shot may have been fired last week when President Obama sent a two-page letter to Sens. Kennedy and Baucus, who chair rival committees that are each preparing their own health bills. The letter was ostensibly to get the two to work together by outlining shared principles. While Obama had previously stayed at sky level in the policy debates–refusing to endorse many specific details–that changed last week.
In the letter, he endorsed three controversial tenets that he hoped a final bill will contain. First, he finally came out in favor of a “public plan,” where individuals and businesses can buy insurance from a government-run exchange that will pool everyone together and charge low rates.
The second idea Obama endorsed is the “individual mandate,” in which, much like car insurance, Americans would be forced to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. This would avoid the problem of only sick people wanting insurance and thus driving up the price. Mandates are controversial among small businesses, who often can’t afford to cover their workers, and of course small-government fans.
Finally–and this is more of an inside Washington issue– Obama endorsed ripping Medicare coverage decisions away from Congress.
I like forcing people to pay for their own healthcare insurance. I don’t like paying uninsured motorist insurance – to cover me when someone else doesn’t buy it. The Obama letter indicates that if your employer offers insurance, you will have to take it or maybe, maybe a cheaper government plan – which will be sh*tty insurance the doctors won’t sign up for.
Be careful what you ASK for….
Which Treatments Are Effective?
Related to the idea of a public plan, the administration along with Democrats in the Senate are pushing the notion of “comparative effectiveness research. ” The stimulus package passed in February included $1 billion in funding to see which competing treatments for medical conditions are most effective. If that research could guide spending by a public plan, the ideas goes, costs would fall dramatically.
Several recent studies, on stents and on cancer drugs, support the notion that some of the most expensive therapies are at best marginally effective.
So, when you or a loved one is dying of cancer, or needs that experimental surgery as a last resort the government will say: SORRY NO CAN DO.
Why ELSE would congress fund this study, hmmmm?
When Congress passed the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package last fall, critics said it’d be a money loser. But when 10 banks returned $68 billion of the money on Tuesday, President Barack Obama said the government had realized a small profit.
Did it really?
In addition to returning the $68 billion, the 10 banks paid the government $1.8 billion in dividends on the preferred shares of stock the government owned. That translates to an annualized rate of return of about 4.64 percent on the $68 billion.

Pastor’s comments on Tiller ‘unbiblical’
Allie Martin – OneNewsNow – 6/8/2009 7:45:00 AMBookmark and Share
The president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is repudiating statements made by a former convention official regarding President Barack Obama and the recent murder of abortionist George Tiller.
On a recent webcast of his daily radio talk show, Wiley Drake, former second vice-president of the SBC, called last Sunday’s murder of Tiller “an answer to prayer.” Then during an interview with Alan Colmes on Fox News Radio, Drake said he was praying the same type of “imprecatory prayer” against the president of the United States.
Johnny HuntFor years, Drake has encouraged the practice of praying words of judgment found throughout the Book of Psalm, back to God, against enemies. But Dr. Johnny Hunt, pastor of First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia, and president of the SBC, says Drake’s comments are out of line.
“[That's a] terrible statement, [a] very unbiblical statement,” Hunt responds. “I’m still encouraged that the [Book of] Proverbs teaches that God has the water in a channel — and my prayer has always that God would turn hearts.”
Hunt also referenced the Book of 1 Timothy, which encourages Christians to pray for those in authority.
Well XXX there is what, another $632 billion or so out there? Let’s what kind of “return” we get there, or even if we get the money returned at all before we start celebrating. The banks that have already returned bailout funds already, probably didn’t need it in the first place.
On this date, Jun 10th, record setting temperatures for Wichita Kansas
High 103 °F (1953)
Low: 49 °F (1974)
Hypocrits never learn. Out of one side of their mouths they blame inflammatory rhetoric for the murder of Dr. Tiller, and out of the other side they constantly preach hate and demonize Christians.
Next time there is a church shooting, the Department of Homeland Security will be able to start their investigation right here in the WE Blog.
Repub horror of horrors, Obama going to put long term success over short term!
“WASHINGTON – An up and coming Wall Street executive might want to hold off on buying that condo in Aspen. The Obama administration is ready to issue broad new guidelines that would rein in pay at financial institutions.
Eager to remove incentives that they say contributed to last year’s financial crisis, President Barack Obama’s economic team plans to unfurl broad executive pay principles, possibly as early as Wednesday, that put a premium on long-term performance over short-term gain.
Too bad the govt. will just own a little of a third of CITI!
Looks like the oil companines and speculators deserve a little of the dems attention, before they get too far out of hand, again.
“Looks like the bailout wasn’t such a bad thing after all.”
XXX it’s propogranda!!!!
Assume Treasury takes the money and applies it to the national debt it created:
700 Billion dollars created out of thin air
-69.8 Billion dollars returned to treasury by banks (pay off debt)
630.2 billion debt remaining
+ 1.1 billion interest* on debt 4% x 6 mo (aprox)
631.3 billion dollars remaining national debt plus interest.
Assume Treasury takes the money and as theyhave stated holds it for future failures:
700 billion dollars created out of thin air
-69.8 billion dollars returned to treas by banks
630.2 billion debt remaining
+69.8 billion dollars (Treasury announced it will hold to loan out if needed)
700 billion dollars still owed national debt
700 billion debt remaining
+ 2 billion interest on the debt 4% x 6 mo (aprox)
702 Total debt taxpayers still owe
*June 1, 2009 long term treasury rate was 4.4%
XXX – let’s see…they announced sometime ago that according to the Treasury, we’d already lost something like $87B, if I remember the # right, based on the initial investments. So, the one’s that were forced to take bailouts so the other banks didn’t look bad, pay back less than 10% of the total bailout and it’s “not such a bad thing”? Wonder if that 4.64% return includes in risk premiums for all the loan guarantees the govt considers “free” to likes of GE, or how it explains the fact that GM just loaned $2B to a priate equity firm so they could buy Delphi out of bankruptcy…huh…a bankrupt company on the govt teet loaning money to a private company to buy another company….yeah, I’m sure all that’s above board, no Chicago politics to see here folks, just keep it movin’…
BAGHDAD — A rare car bomb ripped through a market in southern Iraq’s Shiite heartland Wednesday as shoppers were buying meat and vegetables, killing at least 29 people and wounding dozens, officials said.
It is the deadliest bombing to hit the Nasiriyah area since Nov. 12, 2003, when a suicide truck bomber attacked the headquarters of Italian forces stationed there, killing more than 30 people.
The blast is the latest in a series of high-profile explosions that have raised concerns about a resurgence of violence as the U.S. military faces a June 30 deadline to withdraw from urban areas in Iraq.
“Let’s see what kind of “return” we get there”
As of May 2009, the interest expense on our national debt so far this fiscal year is $214 Billion.
To be exact, the Debt now stands at $11,033,157,578,669.78. (that’s TRILLION). Divide it by the U.S. population and it comes up to over $36,000 in debt for every man, woman and child.
Now, please tell me how much of a “return” 1.8 billion dollars is for every man, woman, and child
that would be in relation to the debt each of us owe – if the money actually is applied to the national debt?

This along with the upper US mid-west have had cooler than normal weather. Combined with the growing ice in eastern Antarctica, is a lot more than 2% cosMo claims to be the only parts of the globe being effected by the cooling. It also many times larger than western Antarctica the AGW alarmists use to promote their bogus theory.
Any body want to bet that after the summer season Arctic will have more ice than last year?

Well, it’s hard to keep up because new ideas are floated every day, but they all would involve taxing people who make less than $250,000.
-In fact, even his income tax hikes for the rich have now been dropped down to start at $235,000.
– Then there’s the soft drink excise tax,
– The cap-and-trade energy taxes,
– Most recently the VAT, a form of national sales tax.
– The tax on health benefits I mentioned above would also break the only-tax-the-rich pledge.

And XXX, that interest came from our government owning stock (dividends) in what used to be private corporations.
I guess Bush also had it right when he suggested Americans be allowed to invest their retirement money in stocks. I mean if it’s good for the goose…..

I still think Michelle has a mouth like a clydesdale.
Speaking of first ladies, heard yesterday Laura was convening a meeting of twenty some advisors in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Guess she kind of misses the limelight, maybe she’ll go after the gang bangers again?
Returning Bailout Money Just a SideShow
“The only problem, says Charles Ortel, managing director, Newport Value Partners, a research firm in New York City, the money is just a drop in the bucket as far as what the government has shelled out to prop up the economy—and it’s not exactly working yet. “The government has spent trillions and yes, it’s nice to get some of it back, but it’s a distraction from the main event,” says Ortel. “Private sector jobs have fallen off a cliff. The country and homeowners and the government are awash in debt. The government has the power to change the debate on any given news cycle by pointing to one or more of its ‘successes,’ but I’d feel a lot better about this …if there were better accountability.”
Ortel’s beef is that the government is not acting like a good investment manager. He sees a “headlong rush away from the principles of good investing principles.” For instance, any shrewd investor plans for an exit strategy. How, he wonders, will the government shed a $50 billion stake in GM or a $45 billion stake in Citigroup (C)? Moreover, government says it’s not going to meddle directly into the business affairs of these companies, from automotive to insurance (save for executive compensation matters, and that too is creating more chaos).
“ You’ve got to have control of an investment and here they are putting money into companies where they say they don’t want control,” he continues. “That creates ambiguity, waste, conflict and heartache. There’s no accountability, no alignment of management, no incentives.” Ortel says an independent business commission should be formed to evaluate the government’s actions in trying to resuscitate the economy and prop up failing businesses.
He’s not alone in thinking that the return of bailout money is just a pubic relations sideshow. Joshua Siegel of New York’s Stone Castle Partners–which specializes in bank investments, with $3.1 billion under management–says it might be prudent for some banks to return the money, but he too sees the early pay-backs as a game of “perception creating business reality.”
“Banking is all perception,” he says. “It’s the ultimate confidence business. The question isn’t whether banks have enough capital to pay it back. The question is do they need government money and can they replace it with private money.”
That would be better news. As wrong-headed and greedy as a lot of money managers and market players have been in recent years, they’re a far might better at running business than politicians.” Businessweek

Well XXX there is what, another $632 billion or so out there? Let’s what kind of “return” we get there, or even if we get the money returned at all before we start celebrating. The banks that have already returned bailout funds already, probably didn’t need it in the first place.
=========================
Yup. And how much Interest is the Taxpayer PAYING for the $700 Billion that was BORROWED, in order to lend to the Banks. IF XXX is right in his math, the Government claims a return of 4.64% on the $68 Billion that was paid back. But what was the Net Interest Margin?
For dummies:
* We borrow $700 Billion and pay interest on this borrowed money, to the Chinese or whoever buys Gov’t T-bills. What’s the average rate of interest paid on those T-Bills? 4.55% as of yesterday.
* We lend $700 Billion to the Banks.
* Banks pay us back $68 plus 4.64% interest per XXX.
* THAT IS a Net Interest Margin of 0.09% on just the amount that was paid back. (4.64% – 4.55%)
*There’s still $632 Billion loaned out there with no return on it, in fact, we are still paying interest on that!
Great return XXX. Something to be proud about.
–Oh, and that $68 Billion, was it used to pay-off Debt or was it simply respent?
If it wasn’t used to pay-off Debt, we are still Paying Interest of 4.55% on that money that we borrowed in the first place!
Down 14 pts. how will it ever recover?
But… but… where is the obama loooooove you were talking about?
Say here’s an idea on transparency!
With Obama’s new transparent Government, why doesn’t Obama give us a monthly financial statement on OUR investments?
You know, show the math using actual numbers, similar to what you see on your bank statements and investment statements each month.
For dummies:
Thanks JJ. I was giving too much credit to libs. I thought they could add.
http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2009/06/open-thread-610-2/#comment-598341
Obama could also show us the math on how HE is calculating the number of Jobs Saved!
For example:
Obama might predict the job loss for June 2009 without the Stimulous to be 1.2 Million Jobs Lost for the month.
To show the jobs saved –
Obama might predict the jobs saved for June 2009 to be 600,000 with the Stimulous for a projected actual job loss in June 2009 to be just 600,000.
Then, Obama could itemize exactly where those 600,000 jobs were saved by State and by Job Category.
HE is so smart!
“why doesn’t Obama give us a monthly financial statement on OUR investments?”
I want MY piece of the money!!!!
Of the 1.8 billion, as one of the 302 million Americans who owe $36,000 of the national debt –
I demand my piece of the good return!
I want my $5.96 cents!!!!!!!!!!!
Will Chrysler pay back the loans? Will GM? How many billions lost there and how much “interest” on the TARP funds will be needed to cover those losses?

Joe Biden. He’s what’s for dinner.
“Vice President Joe Biden may have crossed the line when he assured national law enforcement groups Monday that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor “has your back.”
The remark quickly stirred criticism in the legal world, since Biden was making a pledge that a fair and objective justice would not necessarily be able to keep.”
“That (comment) means that she could probably care less about civil liberties and just do whatever law enforcement wants,” Hall said.

“In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn’t spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because “them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me.”
He suggested White House advisers were keeping the two separate.
“Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office,” Wright said, according to Virginia’s Daily Press. “They will not let him … talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.”
Regarding Obama talking to him, I believe Rev Wright is right!
Remember in Nazi Germany, jews were portrayed as evil sleasy businessmen who took advantage of others to gain their wealth. The rich jews were the downfall of Germany – so they had to enact laws against them.

* Social Security/Medicare programs are fixed.
* Nationwide 93% or more of Americans still have the insurance and doctors of their choice.
* ALL the Tarp money has been repaid with interest.
* Unemployment is back in the 5% range.
* Inflation remains below 4%.
* Interest rates remain in the 6% range for the mortgage market.

OMYGORSH! Soldevo is right!
But wait:
In our analysis, 2008 is the ninth warmest year in the period of instrumental measurements, which extends back to 1880 (left panel of Fig. 1). The ten warmest years all occur within the 12-year period 1997-2008.

Obama might predict the job loss without the Stimulous to be 5 Million Jobs Lost for the month.

Deficits totally DO matter.
But there’s good deficits and bad deficits.
Deficits to save the banking system of the United States and by extension the World is a good thing.
Deficits to funnel money to Blackwater and Halliburton in an illegal and immoral unnecessary war are not a good thing.
Deficits are really loans we take out for spending, nothing more. If you take out a loan to fix the leaky plumbing of your house, that’s a good thing.
If you take out a loan so you can go on a spending spree in Vegas, that’s a bad thing.
Ahhhhhhhh……That’s Better!

U.S. Park Police said a gunman armed with a shotgun opened fire on the security guard and that other security guards returned fire. The gunman was reported wounded.
The shooting was reported to police at 12:52 p.m., and officers rushed to the scene just south of Independence Ave. bordering the Mall.
D.C. Fire Department spokesman Alan Etter said there was no immediate information on the shooter. He said two men were transported to a hospital with “serious” gunshot wounds.
One witness, Dave Unruh, of Wichita, Kan., said he was waiting to enter the museum when he heard one gunshot, then a sequence of four or five gunshots. He said he then heard someone scream, “Hit the floor!” He and his wife, Karen, and their two teenage grandchildren hit the floor and were subsequently herded out of the building by authorities
James Whittaker von Braun……spelling may not be accurate.

Arrested in 1981 for entering the Federal Reserve office carrying weapons and saying that he wanted to make a ‘citizens arrest’ of Federal Reserve board members.
He complained that the trial that followed this arrest was tainted because the Judge was Jewish as were some members of the jury.
Apparently, back in 1981 the suspect had a charge about bringing a gun to the Federal Reserve. I’m guessing this guy was one of those nuts who believe the Jews run the banks too. He’s 89 years old.

Miranda Rights for Terrorists
If Tenet is right, it’s a good thing KSM was captured before Barack Obama became president. For, the Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high value detainees captured and held at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan, according a senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. “The administration has decided to change the focus to law enforcement. Here’s the problem. You have foreign fighters who are targeting US troops today – foreign fighters who go to another country to kill Americans. We capture them…and they’re reading them their rights – Mirandizing these foreign fighters,” says Representative Mike Rogers, who recently met with military, intelligence and law enforcement officials on a fact-finding trip to Afghanistan.

So really we need to naturalize all the illegal mexicans as fast as possible, so everybody’s share of the national debt goes down because it’s diluted with more people counted as citizens.

Yet another Right Wing gun nut terrorist opens fire at the Holocaust museum.
Maybe this is the summer of “Right Wing Gun Nuts for Palin” activities.
Well, The good news is that Von Brunn took a lead projectile in the head and will probably die…
No real use in putting him in jail for life, just put him in the ground.
I haven’t heard what condition the guard is in, but hopefully he pulls through.

Obama’s Preacher has the same attitude as Von Brunn.
Is Wright a right wing nut?
No but this and Roeder certainly plays very well with Palin’s base.
It’s obvious, satatom, you know nothing about Palin’s base.
Obama and Black Pastors have blood on their hands.
Wright should be investigated to see if he was behind this shooting.

I’d point out the possibility of that not being blood but instead BBQ sauce, but you fuggers would label me a racist, so I won’t.
Jesse Jackson should also be investigated for his terroristic speech towards Jews.

Miranda Rights for Terrorists
If Tenet is right, it’s a good thing KSM was captured before Barack Obama became president. For, the Obama Justice Department has quietly ordered FBI agents to read Miranda rights to high value detainees captured and held at U.S. detention facilities in Afghanistan, according a senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.
Flashback: Obama in March: ‘Now, do these folks deserve Miranda rights? Do they deserve to be treated like a shoplifter down the block? Of course not.’
Let’s see…Palin’s base….Right Wing Christian bigots that cling to their guns and Bibles and believe that Jews are damned because theydon’t accept Jesus as God.
Nope…I got Palin’s base right… Roeder and this idiot fit like a glove.
Welcome to the NEW Republican minority…Roeder, Von Brunn, Limbaugh, Palin, Hitler.
Sucks to be a Republican.
satatom = bigot
hahahahahahahahahahaha
You got the gun nuts in YOUR party.
We need you investigate the Democrat Jew haters to see who put Von Brunn up to this. They should all be charged with the shooting.
Byrd is also and old Jew hater.
Byrd and Von Brunn were likely friends.

“GMC70″ returns from a long lunch and immediately (at 2:30pm) returns to

And the point is, neither does she!
As explained and cited upthread, the Moose-Dresser has proven herself to be an incompetent politician.
Newtie Gingrich is rising from the political dead (and, of course one-third of his wives’ death beds) with ripping the keynote address at a major Repubic party congressional fundraiser Monday night from the keen sights of a helicopter wolf-shooter.
Newt Gingrich!!
If only Sarah could see the Repubic Party from her porch she might have had a clue these particular funders at the dinner weren’t the ones she should rebuke.
It turns out most Palin-tologists are hoping she might somehow, some way, attract 2008’s Paul-bearers and raise funds outside the Repubic Party system the Newt’s already sewn up.
And I’m just salivating at seeing “Palin’s base” complain that it’s unfair the “libruhl” media reported Sarah got a D+ in Economics at North Idaho Community College when, in fact, “…she got the grade changed to an ‘Incomplete!.’”
There’s nothing standing in the way of Sarah Palin becoming the obscure answer to a trivia question ten years hence.

Liberalism is truly a mental disease, and that is clearly evident here.
The only thing that “sucks” about being Conservative or Republican, as the dimwit stated, is having to live around the filth of the DimLibs.
But one thing brings me back up today….Tiller’s death house is CLOSED….ha ha ha! Too bad it took a murder to close it, thank the DimLibs for that too.
You know, if it wasn’t for that white supremecist in DC, there would be hardly ANY crime in Washington DC. (You know they can’t legally carry guns there.)

You will find it in the schitter….
The pile is getting bigger each day.
The Guard has died.
Funny how they track crimes in DC with or without a gun.
It’s also very surprising how many more crimes occur without guns then with guns.
Could it be that the guns themselves, don’t cause the crimes? Hmmm….
There must be another cause for crime, other then guns.

Another Obama Nominee Faces Potentially Tough Confirmation
Donald Remy, a former executive at Fannie Mae, met behind closed doors on Wednesday in a follow-up session with Senate Armed Services Committee members, and according to a congressional official with knowledge of what was said in the room, “it did not go well.”
Ahhh, that data is just from one month.
Maybe it’s a fluke that more crimes occur without guns then with guns.

Is Shepherd Smith a liberal? He was talking about the killing today and went off on those who do not base their hatred on any real substance. He even went after those who believe and keep spreading the Obama Birth place crap. He basically said that anyone that is still questioning Obama’s citizenship and believing he was not born in the U.S. has more hatred then common sense. And he is on Fox news… He keep’s that up I wonder how much longer?

Same Trend. More crime is committed in Washington DC without a gun, then with a gun.
Guns must not cause crimes by themseles!
Over the last 2 years, Washington DC averaged 22 violent crimes every day!
This included 1 murder every other day!

writerdog,
It is interesting that many of the ‘white supremacy’ groups have a lot of hate towards each other. One group will often hate the skin heads or AB(for example) for being not pure or not right with the true cause.
I suppose this is good, because if these groups got along and united it would not be good for the world.
Say writer, if you want to talk about white arian crime, tell us, in your infinite wisdom, how much of our nations crime is committed by these white arians you mention?
Say in Washington DC, in the last 2 years, how many of those 15,734 crimes were committed by white arians?
How many were committed by other ‘groups’ you like to label?
In keeping the ‘focus’ on these groups of people writerdog, are you not doing the very same thing you accuse them of doing?
Stereotyping and labeling individuals into groups that you can blame and hate for everything?
JimJohnson,
Typically, members of Aryan and Klan groups identify themselves as such. Writerdog never said all white people hold these views unless you’re reading between some lines that I can’t see.
The only lines Johnson sees are white powder lines on a small mirror… LOL

Same goes for a lot of christian groups as well. At the clinics, the catholics never showed up at the same time as the protestant protesters and if they happened to overlap times, kept their distance from each other. Among protestant sects, there’s a lot of outright hatred too. I’ve heard several posters on this blog make anti-mennonite and anti-methodist statements and refuse to acknowledge each other as “true christians.”

Why would the “White power groups” not want any focus? Don’t they like attention and publicity?
It seems Writer is rushing to many judgements within hours of a murder and placing blame before the bodies are even cold. Writer seems excited by this news, for some reason, as if murder doesn’t happen every other day in Washington DC.
And so is the press and the Mayor btw. Does the Mayor hold a news conference every other day whenever there is a murder in Washington DC? Nope.
Why is the murder of this security guard more newsworthy then the other 180 murders in Washington DC in the last year?

Yeah, kinda scary knowing something as simple as a broken speedometer or two, could bring a jet down.
In a storm, not sure they could use GPS to doublecheck the speed indicators, or maybe their not set-up to do this.
And with so many computer controls relying on the speed readings, and impacting rudders and all, not sure I want to fly an Airbus anytime soon.
Sounds like Airbus knew there was a problem with the speed indicators.
Another issue is whether the flight path could have been altered to find a way around the storms. This would extend the flight time though, and there’s much pressure on pilots to stay on time.
I wonder if 4 engines would have given the additional power needed to avoid a stall or recover from it? (If that’s what happened.)
Good evening to all – haters and lovemen/women alike: I’m not discriminatin’ – ’cause I’ve got a question for everyone this evening. ‘Cause the FilmFan’s in a quandary.
After a very difficult period of unemployment last year (owing to my non-English-speaking boss and my denial for unemployment benefits), I am now working two jobs. It’s either feast or famine, it seems, and I’m feedin’ on a fulsome feast – because I need it.
I began my 36-hour-per-week job in late January, and soon found that I couldn’t make all ends meet on that job alone. So, I pursued a government-related job as well. I passed the tests with aplomb; I passed the intensive training with some hair-pulling; but I got hired. So what’s the problemo?
Well…….
S–t – I’m gettin’ sick of breaking these posts up.
Well, I’m now working nearly 65 hours per week – and my aging bodola ain’t likin’ it much.
It’s not the work itself: I love the work and I love being busy (keeps my mind off other things).
It’s this: I work until 3:00 a.m. (sometimes 4:00 a.m.), and my body doesn’t like to allow me to sleep late. My internal alarm clock screams in the early mornin’ – and it took me this long to even be able to grab 5-6 hours of sleep if I’m lucky enough to sleep till 10:00 a.m.
In short – I’m pooped. And getting older daily. And feeling it. In short, I’m f–king exhausted, and last night my boss at my 2nd job took pity on me and allowed me to work my regular shift and not work the hour of overtime they asked for. ‘Cause FilmFan was about to collapse.
How tired was I? I started to get acid flashbacks – and I’ve never taken LSD. I started to sing the “Brady Bunch” theme song in the ladies’ loo – just to keep myself awake. I started to picture Randall Terry demanding his divine/marital rights….
Yes, folks – it’s that bad. FilmFan’s exhausted…..and it ain’t good.
It ain’t groovy because a whole lotta what we used to call “heavy s–t” has gone down in the past several weeks.
Dear Dr. Tiller’s tragic death has left me in a semi-stuporous haze of sorrow – for a myriad of reasons. Add extreme tiredness to the mix and I’ve come to the conclusion: Something’s got to give – and soon.
Either I’ve got to change my working hours or drop one of my jobs or I’m going to start excising body parts and servin’ ‘em up to my goldfishies.
My question is: Do any of you work two jobs and do any of you have any helpful hints as to how I can handle this with more aplomb?
In a couple hours, I’m off to my second job, and if we’re asked to stay an extra hour (or more), I really can’t push my luck and ask for time off again. Thankfully, I’m getting excellent evaluations at both jobs, but as we all know, you can’t push yer luck on the job.
Five-six hours of sleep used to be enough. But Big Bertha is older now – and it ain’t only The Twin Wonders who are drooping. This chick needs her sleep – and fast. Otherwise, I’m gonna take my childhood Bible, find the passage about Methuzula and shove it into the nearest amazonian a–ho-e (i.e., mine).
Just ’cause I can….
If a Bill is not passed within the next two weeks, there is no way we can stop this pending disaster:

Great Britian’s Public Healthcare
Woman with breast cancer told to die – medicine too expensive
“Thousands of patients with terminal cancer were dealt a blow last night after a decision was made to deny them life prolonging drugs.
The Government’s rationing body said two drugs for advanced breast cancer and a rare form of stomach cancer were too expensive for the NHS.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence is expected to confirm guidance in the next few weeks that will effectively ban their use.
The move comes despite a pledge by Nice to be more flexible in giving life-extending drugs to terminally-ill cancer patients after a public outcry last year over ‘death sentence’ decisions. L
eading campaigners last night said Nice had failed the ‘acid test’ of whether it really intended to give new priority to people with just a few months to live.
One drug, Lapatinib, can halve the speed of growth of breast cancer in one in five women with an aggressive form of the disease.
Dr Gillian Leng, Nice deputy chief executive, said ‘The committee concluded that Lapatinib is not a cost-effective use of NHS resources when compared with current treatment.’
Up to 1,500 stomach cancer patients also face a ban on Sutent – the only drug that can extend their lives.
Draft guidance by Nice said the drug should not be used even though it approved its use for kidney cancer last month.”

Be careful what you ask for.
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10..2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
6.. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A… are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L.. A. County )
(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ‘ annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.
Lou Pritchett
Note: Lou Pritchett is a former vice president of Procter & Gamble whose career at that company spanned 36 years before his retirement in 1989, and he is the author of the 1995 business book, Stop Paddling & Start Rocking the Boat.
It is of little concern when narrow minded people are scared.
“You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.”
We have pandered to THOSE folks too much for too long.
President Obama worked at helping a community work together for the betterment of all. People who run companies only care about using other people to make them money.
There’s nothing unusual about Republican right wing gun nut bible clinging scaredy cats.
