You guys see this from yesterday evening on Insty?

US President Barack Obama is likely to arrive in India on November 5 instead of November 7 as originally scheduled. He will leave Washington DC on the night of November 4 soon after the mid-term Congressional election where many pundits are predicting severe reverses for the Democratic Party.

He will be away from the US for almost 12 days, one of the longest tours during his presidency, touching India, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea, before returning to Washington DC on November 14.

Well isn't that interesting...

Since they didnÂ’t say it was unexpected, IÂ’m guessing that somebody probably knewÂ…

 

Look, a trillion is a big number, that million unemployed people we never counted, thatÂ’s a rounding error.

 

Shouldn't even give it a second thought!  Concentrate on the election. (Waves hand innocently in front of your face)  Change is good.

18 Nearly a million workers won't get a consumer protection in the U.S. health reform law meant to cap insurance costs because the government exempted their employers.  

"The big political issue here is the president promised no one would lose the coverage they've got," says Robert Laszewski, chief executive officer of consulting company Health Policy and Strategy Associates. "Here we are a month before the election, and these companies represent 1 million people who would lose the coverage they've got."

The biggest single waiver, for 351,000 people, was for the United Federation of Teachers Welfare Fund, a New York union providing coverage for city teachers. The waivers are effective for a year and were granted to insurance plans and companies that showed that employee premiums would rise or that workers would lose coverage without them, Santillo says.

Yes, I saw an article about her being an entrepreneur.  Guess they are trying to distance her from politics. 

Last night Batchelor had a guest from CA on who said Rossi's last race was stolen from him, that he won.  they said even the dems are admitting this now.  Anyone from CA care to fill me in, sounds like one heck of a story.

Also, Batchelor had a guest on who basically called shoo mer a choir boy, so he agrees with me.  He also agrees with the stuff I wrote on here about the republicans not being able to find anyone to run against these dems who claim their seat in perpetuity. Nice to know that we here at AOSHQ are helping journalists to realize they are not alone in their thoughts and giving them the courage to write articles which real people read.

Even the Library of Congress notes on its website: "Prohibition exhibited many of the characteristics of most progressive reforms. That is, it was concerned with the moral fabric of society; it was supported primarily by the middle classes; and it was aimed at controlling the "interests" (liquor distillers) and their connections with venal and corrupt politicians in city, state, and national governments.

Batchelor used to be heard in L.A. on Sunday nights, but KFI -- in a rare burst of good sense -- took him off.

I listened to him every Sunday for quite a while when I lived there. IMO he's intelligent, for sure, but he's also a whiny little Froot Loop who seems to love smarmy gossip as much as hard news. His delivery (and that of many of the people he puts on the air) seemed vapid. The person he used as a "source" in a field where I have some expertise is not too bright, recycling pap spewed by others and drawing truly ridiculous conclusions.

The latter makes me question the validity of his other "reporters," frankly.

And his bumper music isn't "eclectic." You could hear it in any gay bar where drama-queen patrons regularly commit suicide.

That said, get ready for November 2 and 3. Because the Delaware story will be the only thing covered by the news.

It will be considered a rebuke of the tea party and something or other.

I was watching 1994 election night coverage on youtube, and CNN spent about 30% of their coverage on Ted Kennedy's election win over Mitt Romney for Senate.  It was the first time the house had changed parties in several decades, but they were covering Ted Kennedy's easy and expect win.

Don't expect much change from the media now. The Delaware election will be the most talked about on election night, even if the Republicans win 100 seats.

 

It will not be a rebuke of Obama's policies. It will be a angry electorate mad about unemployment.

MSNBC-dot-com wants to be taken seriously as a news site, having an association with Olbermann, Schultz, Maddow, and O'Donnell is not helpful. It's like that episode of Seinfeld when Elaine's boyfriend had the same name as the serial killer.

Obamacare firesale: Three Catholic hospitals for sale in Pennsylvania

Mercy Hospital in Scranton is up for sale.

Those who run the place and all other Mercy facilities in our area said Wednesday they are already in talks with organizations interested in buying.

Mercy Health Partners hopes to have a buyer by the end of the year.

Officials said there are numerous reasons for the sale. One big one is the heath care reform bill signed into law this year.

[ . . . ]

"Actually we're doing well. We're ahead of budget for the year. It's more that when we look out over the landscape of health care over the next five years and the needs of these facilities, the needs of this community, we understand a different level of investment will be needed than what we can do on our own," Cook said.

They said much of that required investment is the result of the health care reform bill passed in Washington.

The CEO said it means the need for more spending and less federal reimbursements.

"Health care reform is absolutely playing a role. Was it the precipitating factor in this decision? No, but was it a factor in our planning over the next five years? Absolutely," Cook added.

There's nothing like closing hospitals to improve health care.

108 My son had one beer. He weighs 180 lbs and is 6 ft tall but "underage". He had his learners suspended for 6 mo and has 6 weeks of alcohol classes. 8 o'clock at night, one nosy neighbor, 20 kids, 1 case of beer, 30 cops. It was like a statist home invasion.

All this talk of liberal nanny-staters reminds me of my favorite explanation of conservatism: It's society played by big boy rules.

110 They were surprised to know that Iowa had already passed such legislation. I question their method of targeting callers.

Rule #1:  Know the laws in states you're targeting.  Maybe the tactic is to make you think they're too incompetent to be dangerous.  Too bad for them I'd crawl over broken glass to vote against those cocksuckers.

palladino is oddly silent.  no commercials that i've seen.  meanwhile, cumo has a ton of anti palladino commercials painting palladino as out of control (surprise, surprise, yawn)

112 in the Declaration, it pretty much says we're free to determine who our best selves will be. With a Progressive, there can be only ONE best self. Hey, we can't have people running around and deciding for themselves what to be. Don't you want to control society and make it better? Can't do that if everyone gets to decide for themselves. Now shut up and let the smart people run things. That's the progressive approach. Don't expect much change from the media now. The Delaware election will be the most talked about on election night, even if the Republicans win 100 seats. We can predict one thing, especially if 11/2 is a big night for the GOP. The media will not triangulate, but will double down. If you thought the MFM was leftarded before, watch what happens between now and 2012. Think Nuremberg rallies crossed with The Daily Show.

113 There have been multiple polls suggesting Delaware is over though.

I consider it a loss. I want a win, but i have resigned myself.

That said, get ready for November 2 and 3. Because the Delaware story will be the only thing covered by the news.

It will be considered a rebuke of the tea party and something or other.

I was watching 1994 election night coverage on youtube, and CNN spent about 30% of their coverage on Ted Kennedy's election win over Mitt Romney for Senate.  It was the first time the house had changed parties in several decades, but they were covering Ted Kennedy's easy and expect win.

Don't expect much change from the media now. The Delaware election will be the most talked about on election night, even if the Republicans win 100 seats.

 It will not be a rebuke of Obama's policies. It will be a angry electorate mad about unemployment.

115 There's nothing like closing hospitals to improve health care. I never said if you like your hospital you can keep it. And everything depends upon what the meaning of the word "insurance" is.

Posted by: dagny at October 07, 2010 10:47 AM (zTik+) What's worse, IMHO, is that some police departments actually divert resources from anti-crime patrols to do DUI enforcement. There are neighborhoods in my old home county where thugs routinely invade homes because they know that the cops are all on DUI patrol on the highway less than a mile away.

A lot of the Catholic hospitals are going to close.  Teh Catholic Church was fine when the clergy and the nuns were running the place.  Now, they've let the faithful in on church finances and honestly, the faithful have made things a total mess.   The more they demand that the faithful contribute and support, the fewer people attend mass and contribute, it's a mess.  And they ahve their convenient excuse, "the child abuse scandals".  People are also angry cause they think the Vatican takes money but then doesn't give it back. In other words the US sends the Vatican money but it doesn't go the other way.  In all honesty, I've started donating to selective Catholic charities.  I've lowered my contributions to my parish, diocese and catholic charities.  I'm not alone, people are disgusted.

120 130 I'm even more irritated by the Church's stance on illegal immigrants. I told my pastor that I would give money to the building repair fund but the rest of what I would have given the church was going to the wounded warrior foundation. Then I pointed out their previous suppor of ACORN. Told him that I was sorry but since the diocese wasn't doing do diligence in staying out of lefty politics, I would have to do it for them.

121 Oh come on now, you always knock him..... 
Posted by: curious at October 07, 2010 10:51 AM

I always knock him for the same reason you always praise him. You think he swishes walks on water, and I think listening to him is torture. And not fun torture; more like being-staked-on-a-fire-ant-colony torture.

I hear and read a lot of misinformation on my field in the mainstream (that is, non-targeted) media. I have contacted many when I hear or read particularly egregious errors. The rub comes when a few have responded and wanted more details. Somehow, they don't get that, like anyone who makes a living (or tries to), I want to be paid -- just like their mistake-making writers/talkers -- for my expertise.

The only email I thought about sending to Batchelor (and didn't when KFI yanked him) was a suggestion that he simply go for the jugular and use Gloomy Sunday (a/k/a the "Hungarian Suicide Song") for his bumper music.

Try the score to the original The Day The Earth Stood Still. Theremins rock!

129 That USA Today article ("McDonald's, 29 other firms get health care coverage waivers"  LINK )  deserves its own post.

Not only does it describe how tens of thousands of people will see their h-c inusrance premiums rise despite the promise of the Obama Administration, it does NOT mention the ramifications of the power given to the federal government  to pick and choose which business/industry/political party supporter/organization will get a waiver, and which enterprises will not.  IOW, this health care law is Soft Fascism - a shakedown instrument capable of enormous damage to the liberty of all Americans.

130 121- we've created a ‘national neurosis’ as in uk-which Cameron has fixed. We need to do likewise. http://tinyurl.com/39nuuc6

As long as he's not using unguents in tandem with ungulates.....

133 124- Palladinos name is in the news -free. Every Cuomo ad is a joke. 'He'll fix Albany'.

134 it does NOT mention the ramifications of the power given to the federal government  to pick and choose which business/industry/political party supporter/organization will get a waiver, and which enterprises will not.


That's pretty much textbook fascism, isn't it?

136 #135 Farmer Joe, I've read at Junk Science many years ago that bees dying in large numbers isn't odd and it happened in the U.S. already in the past. I can't recall if it was twice: in the late 19th Century and in the 1920s, or if it was just the once of those two decades but it already happened in pre-electronic eras.

He is KSFO in the Bay Area right after Mark Levin. When they added him to the lineup last spring, the first thing I said was, "Dude is a queen!"

My partner came home from work that night (he is a conservative as I am) and says to me, "Did you hear that fag they just put on KSFO after Levin today?"

O'Donnell is an easy but the media is giving her the Palin treatment and even worse.  While dem reps claim there's no debt, their wives go to prison for corruption and dem senators continue to say and do moronic things they're going after O'Donnell's father. 

They're just another arm of the democrats and should be viewed as such.  I'm actually much more moderate than most republicans but I don't want a single democrat to win anything the next two cycles.
