If you had taken the day off tomorrow, today would feel like Friday to you. You could relax, play a little golf maybe.

Look at the upside, every day he plays golf he's not in the office using this pen.

7 Sheriff Joe says it's "too hard to explain" what he and the iWon have accomplished.

No it isn't, Broseph. You guys have crippled the economy with massive deficits, spent a trillion dollars on a stimulus that did nothing to relieve unemployment, and saddled business with craploads of new employment, health care, and finance regulations that kill job creation, and you forced tens of thousands into unemployment because of your drilling moratorium.

Spinning that as a reason to vote for you guys, that's what's hard.

27 I give you a new letter to the Editor from my favorite writer, because I'm a giver:

Beck would go backward to the days of slavery


Editor:

In this country using the N-word is enough to get you virtually excommunicated from normal society. But using the N-word does not even come close to what Glenn Beck said recently about slavery. Glenn Beck said that slavery started with innocent ideas and it was the government regulation that made it bad.

Maybe I'm the only one who is paying attention but it sounds to me that Glenn Beck is at least justifying, if not advocating a return to slavery. But this time they will do it right and we'll have slavery that isn't in any way regulated by the government. He actually said that?

When it comes to racism calling someone the N-word is nothing compared to suggesting that slavery started with innocent ideas, and then attempt to completely dismiss the history of what happened to blacks in America with a false story that he just made up. What Beck did was like 1,000 times worse. But what really blows my mind is that the news media hasn't called him on it. It is absolutely irresponsible to allow a statement like that to stand unchallenged.

34 That Ann Coulter article on the side bar should be a front page column in every newspaper in CT.

The thing that is in there that really should piss off CT taxpayers is the fact that the woman whose business was ruined by his frivolous suit and persecution won an 18 million dollar judgment against him, but who pays?

The taxpayer of course. He does the crime and the taxpayer pays the dime.

Tell me this quote isn't the quote of a far-left socialist:

"The basic idea is that if we put our blind faith in the market and we let corporations do whatever they want and we leave everybody else to fend for themselves, then America somehow automatically is going to grow and prosper."

--Obama.

The vilification of "corporations" is the vilification of private enterprise.

Actually, Obama, letting individuals along with an open free market do what they they know best without government corruption and collusion-- will lead to liberty and freedom.  obama's plan?  not so much.

28 I wonder if that was the segment that Beck discussed the fact that slavery really began in america with the indentured servant program. He discussed it at length and how the indentured servant contracted to be in a state of servitude until a certain amount of time had passed. He then continued to a specific incident of a black farmer who had a black indentured servant try to leave before his indenture was over and the courts decide with the farmer, the servant because of his continued leaving was then told by the court that he couldn't leave, essentially beginning the concept of slavery as opposed to indenture. So what he meant by it starting as an innocent idea was that the concept of indenture as a work contract that went badly wrong. He was suggesting that valid ideas could be taken by the courts to something that enslaved us and used slavery as a literal example.

It's a shame that libs are such tools and can't listen past a sound bite. Assholes.

40 16 The Senate races may tighten up because the DNC may feel the House is lost but limiting the GOP to +4 or so means they can still work the RINO's on certain things like judges, so the money gets redirected there. At least thats what I would do.

46 32 Is this too conservative?  - Posted by: dogfish at October 14, 2010 08:59 AM (MgiA6)   Given the mood of the country, and the wonder that is the Internet, I would say "Yes".  I think we're about to see history being made (and I'm one of those people who always errs on the side of caution).   People across the country have started to realize that they aren't the only people who feel the way that they do when it comes to how government should work.  They feel validated and empowered (God, it feels good to use "liberal" terms against them!), and they're getting ready to exercise that newfound power.   People feel like their vote is really going to send a signal this time.   I gotta tell you, I'm starting to think this must be what it felt like when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution came into being. It's really exciting.

  I'd say that this should rise to the level of disqualifying Blumenthal (D-CT)

From Ann's essay:
"Wonder why you have a $4 billion deficit, Nutmeggers? Blumenthal's endless investigations into responsible, law-abiding citizens like Kolb have now cost more than the entire Iraq War. (And that's just the cost of the paper for Blumenthal's 12 billion press releases!)

A court dismissed all charges against Kolb and her company in 2008. But not before this female businesswoman had her company completely shattered by the pathologically ambitious attorney general. "

Ed Anger #28  It might surprise some people to know that slavery predated the United States and that not all slaves were negros but came in all colors and, in fact still do because slavery still exists.

Good thing Glenn Beck isn't a politician and has no intention of ever being one.

U.S. is currency war's "tomb maker": China economist

(Reuters) - The United States fired the first shot in the currency war and the rest of the world must be on guard for its deliberate strategy to devalue the dollar, a Chinese economist said in an official newspaper on Thursday.

In a front-page commentary in the overseas edition of the People's Daily, Li Xiangyang described the United States as the conflict's "first maker of tomb figures," a Chinese idiom that means someone who creates a bad precedent.

I live in PA-7 and our local news is reporting that Meehan is leading Lentz by only 3 points and that Sestak is actually ahead of Toomey.  Can this be true?

 

No, i know of no polls where Toomey is losing to Sestak.  Even better, Corbett is up by around 10 in every poll over Onorato.

 

I did see a poll where Meehan is leading by three. If I am not mistaken it was supposed to be a close race in PA-7

Why exclude the 2 items that most affect those with limited or lower than average income? Is it because again the MFM is spinning for the clown in chief?

From the write up of what went down given the current mood of the country she ht him where it will hurt the most. He is a tax and spend commie and she called him on it.

Now it is up to the DE voters. Contrary to some of the trash talkers on here, the "purity" conservatives at AOS did not vote her into the primary winner, it was DE voters in a closed primary who put her in. 

Given that, it is a given that the Republican voters will vote for her. The question, as always, will boil down to turnout. And all those 16 and 17 percent gap polls are bullshit.

It sounds like that's the only question O'Donnell really fumbled, so that's good.  I just wish that, knowing they used a SCOTUS ruling question to try to trip up Palin, O'D had been prepared with a stock answer.  But I gather the question was late in the debate so it may not have much impact, especially with a public who can't name a SCOTUS justice.  Also, I read that O'Donnell's closing remarks were very good.  Fingers crossed.

So the two things that people absolutely need to survive are excluded from a core economic statistic?  Talk about cherry-picking data.  Besides, energy costs factor into the price for everything.  The only reason why that hasn't shown up yet in the product cost is that buying is depressed because of the Oconomy.

'Haven't been to Charleston, but I've heard great things.

Add me firmly to the San Fran blows list.  It has nothing to do with the politics of the place (except insofar as their politics are the reason for most of their problems), but I find it to be a filthy city, full of aggressive panhandlers, that is extremely difficult to get around.  The service at the hotels I've stayed in has been uniformly bad.  And the weather is just so-so. 

Yes, there are some very good restaurants, but the same could be said for Chicago and Boston, two cities with excellent restaurants (well, I lie, Chicago's are outstanding) that feature just as much interest in terms of architecture, history, and natural beauty and which are both much easier to navigate on foot or by public transportation.

Was listening to Boortz on the way in and he was making the same mistake every other talking head is making.  This election is not about "jobs", whatever the fuck that means, or about taxes or economic issues at all.  That's what normal elections are about.  This is about liberty.  Nobody in the chattering classes, left or right, seems to get it.

I would like to think so, but I think its fair to say that for a large percentage of the population it is about jobs and the economy.

You have to remember there is a large percentage of Americans who don't follow politics at all, and only vote based on their personal financial situation at any given time. So if they don't have a job or are working less, they vote with the party who is out of power.

There are some people who just don't care about politics until they are feeling some pain in their lives.

Are there some Dems and most Republicans who will vote and turn out big time in november over liberty and spending, of course, but it will only be a massive wave if we turn out the people who are normally apathetic to politics show up and vote for the Republican candidates.

And I believe leftys write all twisted around like that so that they don't smear the graphite from their pencils all over the page and the side of their hand.

Because, as was pointed out, schoolteachers insist that everyone have their paper oriented the same way as they write, and contort their bodies accordingly, instead of simply twisting the paper around to meet their needs.

I'm a righty, and I still twist the paper to where I'm almost writing perpendicular to my body.  (nobody tell my old first-grade teacher...shhhh...)

175 The Mohammedan Mouthpiece hosted a meeting of "black bloggers" at the White House yesterday. The MFM approves, of course.

Interesting that persons-of-color can blatantly pander in this manner. If Bush -- or any other racist, honky mofo -- had held meetings explicitly for "their own kind," the MFM would be carrying on like meth-addled howler monkeys.

Went with my family as a kid.  Loved the carriage ride, however, was horrified at being referred to as "you yankees".    That was the first time I realized NYer's aren't universally loved.  The second time was when a guy who proudly displayed the confederate flag in his room with a sign "the south will rise again" invited me to his semi formal.  I went cause I didn't see the sign until afterward.   I remember telling him no to a second date and my excuse was "it won't go anywhere, can you imagine bringing a yankee home to your mama?"

Hell, D.C. is a better tourist town than SF imo

 

I went the weekend of Feb 7 to take a friend of mine to the Pens Caps hockey game.

Terrible luck,  the day i got there it snowed about 2+ feet of snow. I was able to walk around as he lived near all the embassies and I also got to see the Naval Observatory as he essentially lived next to it. 

Certain areas are nice. I would have liked to have seen it in better weather and seen the historical sites.

It does seem like a fairly nice city, but again I think there are certain areas where tourists can't really go.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, today is the day Preznit Mahmoud goes to visit the Lebanon / Israel border.

The Lebanese are ready to par-tay.

The Israelis are ready to try out some of their nifty spy drones.

Best thing I saw on the coverage this morning's NewsHQ was a massive poster on the Lebanon side of the border.  The poster was Mahmoud, triumphantly pointing onward, and some arabic scribbles underneath.  The reporter translated the arabic:  "YES WE CAN."

No.  Seriously.

You can thank Adrian Fenty for the city you see now.  I'm sure, since he lost his primary, it will go backwards now.   Doesn't bode well for the people who bought those expensive condos in the areas that were "on the edge" of being great.  You can thank the teacher's unions for fenty's defeat.

Meanwhile the people who are underwater are going to simply quit making payments because they know it will take forever before they get kicked out.

Sadly I have never toured DC. I probably should do that soon while I am still able.

--

Vic,

You should.  Definitely do it in the Spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.  I think this year's parade will be April 9th.  I think the festival runs between mid or late March and early April.

I was fortunate to grow up in Maryland within easy access of D.C.  My dad would take us into work with with him (he worked in DC Superior Court as a probation officer) and then mom, sister, and I would walk around all day, doing the museums and monuments and take the bus home.  Simply wonderful.  Living there spoiled me for all other (US) cities in terms of museums.   So if you have young kids (or grand kids) take them there.  

As an adult personally I enjoyed Georgetown a lot.  Good restaurants and bars.  Also, Embassy Row/Dupont Circle if you like food adventures.  

And the Metro is terrific. 

The surrounding areas are lovely as well.  A day trip to Annapolis is a must.
