Breaking news headline from Fox:

 

Consumer Prices Excluding Food, Energy Fall for First Time in 27 Years

 

Yes, we excluded two of the top three items that you spend money on and say prices are falling.  Where did AP get this POS report?  From the government of course.

 

Is there anyone (outside of the 52%) who actually believ anything these idiots say anymore?

 

And why does Fox post this crap uncommented?

Food and energy are like the only things I have money for after I pay the bills.

14 Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is preparing to release a proposal to restart the health-care debate before a White House meeting next week as the administration signaled that insurance company practices will be a focus of the talks.

The Obama administration, meanwhile, renewed its criticism of insurers yesterday, with Sebelius releasing a report highlighting 2009 premium increases that she said “are five to 10 times larger than the growth rate in national health expenditures.” The report also focused on 2009 profits and executive pay at U.S. insurers such as WellPoint Inc.

Let's go after those EVIL insurance executives and the money they make. But remember that Barry's buddy's on Wall Street their multi-million dollar bonuses were well earned because their savvy.

I disagree. Oil prices are volatile, food and the rest of the energy stuff are not. Around here food and electricity are the largest expenditure and my electricity rates have not changed in 25 years.

30 Saw O'Reiley last night,  2/19/2010.  He smeared and attacked the Oath Keepers founder in the interview....
This group was started because of Katrina (not Obama) and you have to be active or retired Military, Police or Fire to be a full member...15,000 members strong....I wish everyone who pledges an oath to the constitution would become a member...including my neighborhood cop.

WHY is Fox: O'Reiley and Beck, refusing not to acknowledge and or discuss the Birther Movement,
 not covering Toni Resco Trial, incorrectly reporting and/or  exaggerating conflicts in the Tea Party movement and ignoring radical Islam in America?
After all, I thought these (2) shows were commentary based and not necessarily news...

I do not understand what is so RADICAL in the Oath Keepers pledge:

Oath Keepers Pledge NOT to obey the following orders:
1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people
3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a state.
5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any state that asserts its sovereignty.
6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control."
9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that an aging population is going to be needing more care soon and current premiums won't cover the expenditures. It's just that they're gready, heartless bastards that want kill your family and fuck your chickens.

Want a good example of how the Demoncrap PR rags slant the news?

 

Quit? Fired? No jobless benefits, under plan

 

The Senate took a big step Thursday toward hammering out an agreement to overhaul the state's troubled Employment Security Commission, settling a dispute over the conditions under which discharged workers covered by unemployment insurance may be denied benefits claims.

 

You have to go way into the article to find out that if you quit or are fired “for cause” you can not draw unemployment is in the current law (and has always been).  You will NOT find that this is the way most States structure the law.

drganc: WHY is Fox: O'Reiley and Beck, refusing not to acknowledge and or discuss the Birther Movement,

Because Fox has standards.

I hope the Oath Keepers aren't full of Birthers; that would be newsworthy, that there was an insurrectionist movement inside our veteran (or not-so-veteran) community.

It would be legitimate grounds for a purge in fact.

40 Or to be even more clear: either the Oath Keepers needs to purge its Birthers, or else the military and police need to purge their Oath Keepers.

41

If the Republican platform does not include something about this crap, then they are as worthless as the Democrats.

The Rs can't make an issue of it because the RINO wing of the party has been guilty of the same shit.  Just not as big a magnitude as the commies.

Heh!  You can't make this crap up:  "After the Bubble, Beauty is But Fleeting For Greenspan Portraits" by Lucette Lagnado.

"In the years before the 2008 financial crisis, Wall Street and Mr. Greenspan's reputation boomed in tandem, and an obscure young artist, Ms. Crowe gained notice for her distinctive oil portriats of the Fed chairman, now 83 years old.  Working from photographs she found online and in newspapers and magazines, Ms. Crowe produced colorful, whimsical canvasses that highlighted Mr. Greenspan's wrinkled forehead, pursed lips, droopy ears, hand gestures and oversize glasses. 

A gallery in the Hamptons that exhibited her paintings in the summer of 2005 sold everyone within a couple of days...she had a second Greenspan show in downtown Manhatten.  Ms. Crowe says she produced upwards of 50 canvasses of Mr. Greenspan.  All were snapped up, some for as much as $5,000 to $10,000...She painted one of the portraits on live television when Mr. Greenspan retired.  It fetched $150,400 for charity in an online auction.  Now the man who bought that painting, Tampa Bay area businessman Matthew Schirmer, says he keeps it under his bed.

...Schirmer paid to have 100 high quality prints made of the painting.  He flew Ms. Crowe to Florida to sign them.  Her painting was placed on an easel in the lobby of a Tampa area bank Mr. Schirmer helped found.  Mr. Schirmer anticipated holding charity fund-raisers with the Greenspan painting as a draw. 

'There was no interest,' he says.  To this day, he hasn't sold any of the prints, he says 'not a single one.'  The original painting could still recover some value, he says.  'I hate to tell you, but we are kind of waiting for him to pass on.' 

Mr. Greenspan's office said the former Fed chief 'regrets he won't have the time to comment.'"

Birthers, while misguided, are not necessarily intrinsically insurrectionist.  After all, it could be argued that we all obey unconstitutional laws, and tolerate fraudulent election results, every day - they will probably continue to do so as well.  Regardless, the threat from birthers among the vets/police is a far less pressing worry than the potential for the kind of tyranny they intend to resist.  I see way more threat to the constitution coming from the leftists in this administration than from any collection of birthers.  Further, once Obastard is out (may he be a one termer at most!) the birther issue disappears and no longer matters in the least.

Speaking as a concerned veteran I think the Oath keepers movement is made up of those who have sworn an oath to the Constitution that governs this country.  My only concern is that some may have sworn falsely.

58 President Barack Obama is preparing to release a proposal to restart the health-care debate before a White House meeting next week It ain't dead. It's crawling up out of the grave. Over at The Hill, Sebelius says the WH will push for the public option in the Senate bill after getting a letter signed by a bunch of Democrat demi-tyrants... uh, I mean, Senators. This will make it easier for the House to swallow the Senate bill through reconciliation and Lovecraftian black conjuring, but mostly reconciliation. Barry has another three years to force socialized medicine down our throats. He won't stop here and neither will the Senate. We must ensure the GOP throws every possible roadblock in the way of reconciliation. This nation is under the rule of authoritarian tyrants-in-waiting.

59 WHY is Fox: O'Reiley and Beck, refusing not to acknowledge and or discuss the Birther Movement,

Probably because outside of Erik Erickson and Charles Johnson nobody gives a shit anymore.

I don't really see what it has to do with the Oath Keepers either. Is there some caveat in their Oath that explains it only applies to leaders they believe hold office illegitimately?

60

In dismissing the Oath Keepers as "extreme" for believing the confiscation of firearms during Katrina was unconstitutional/ illegal, O'Reilly apparently forgot about the right to self-defense. 

O'R said the confiscation was justified because the NOLA government, facing looting and general chaos during the storm, had declared a "state of emergency".

So, when the government CAN'T protect your personal property and safety,  that's the perfect time (and justification) for it to take away your only means to do so yourself.

Snort.

61 I should add this can be stopped if the GOP can take back the House... we don't even need the Senate. If we can hamstring the leftards and Li'l Barry Rainbowshanks through November, we might get out of this with our skins intact.

67 CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base. The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

Why do I feel that with Obama, everything is all about smoke, mirrors and rhetoric?  (Oh, and unprofessional, irresponsible, laziness and lack of knowledge and lack of an understanding of history) From ABC news:

The new name: "Operation New Dawn."

In a February 17, 2010, memo to the Commander of Central Command, Gen. David Petraeus, Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the "requested operation name change is approved to take effect 1 September 2010, coinciding with the change of mission for U.S. forces in Iraq."

You can read the memo -- a copy of which was sent to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen – 

Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission -- the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops -- the US is sending "a strong signal that Operation IRAQI FREEDOM has ended and our forces are operating under a new mission."

The move, Gates writes, "also presents opportunities to synchronize strategic communication initiatives, reinforce our commitment to honor the Security Agreement, and recognize our evolving relationship with the Government of Iraq."

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell had no comment on the memo, saying it speaks for itself.

The move has met with some criticism. In a statement, Brian Wise, executive director of Military Families United said, “You cannot end a war simply by changing its name.  Despite the AdministrationÂ’s efforts to spin realities on the ground, their efforts do not change the situation at hand in Iraq. Operational military decisions should not be made for purposes of public relations, as the Secretary of Defense cites, but should be made in the best interests of our nation, the  troops on the ground and their families back home.”

If Gates was hoping that "Operation New Dawn" would convey a new period in the US-Iraq relationship, it's not clear that was the best choice of name.

After all, Operation New Dawn was the name for the bloody and grueling 2004 battle for Fallujah.

Originally, US forces had called the fight for that city "Phantom Fury," but Iraqi leaders suggested it be called al Fajr, or New Dawn.

"It is with all pleasure that I announce to you that Operation New Dawn has been concluded," the Iraqi minister of state for national security, Qasim Dawood, said at a news conference in Baghdad in November 2004.

On the contrary.  I suggest that it would lessen my anxiety and resentment in the face of nagging, brain-dead customers who so frequently make assinine demands for useless activity on my part.  Thus I would be better able to attend to their numbskullery with more focus, and be less distracted when I finally got back to my normal chores.

After reading that story about the school....everyone I know who used to leave their laptop on while they were getting dressed and putting make up on and such, is now taking their computer off and asking, "if it is off, you can't see me with the camera right?"

One of the most maddening things about the left is that they think we are all stupid.  They think if they slap a different label on something, they can fool us all (hello, progressive vs liberal?).  They basically are trying to conceal the fact that they embrace the same tired, old, worn out ideas (dating back to Woodrow Wilson at the least, and articulated farther by FDR) that don't work, but think if they change the nomenclature, no one will notice.  There is nothing new or revolutionary about them.  They are the most intellectually dishonest people, and it's sad that they often get away with their lies and malfeasance.

I guess she knew all along what the TARP money would be used for.

108 If I may raise the dragon of purity yet again, I had a bit of an epiphany while driving to work this morning.  The reason the Republicans got their asses handed to them on a platter in 2008 was because of their contempt for the American public by which I mean despite poll after poll and a public outcry, they were full speed ahead on amnesty.  The American voters decided that Republican politicians were essentially a warm and steaming pile of dog crap, and rightfully so I my humble opinion.  Now the Democrats are the ones exhibiting contempt for the American public despite poll after poll and public outcry they are full speed ahead on health care.   Now the American voters have decided that Democratic politicians are worth a warm and steaming pile of dog crap.  Now the Republicans are telling us that their dog crap doesn't stink as much as the Democrat's dog crap so we should vote for them.  I'd prefer to have a no dog crap party.

So Tiger claimes that there is no domestic violence in the marriage. Fine, ok. So what exactly happened that morning with him laying on the street, broken windows in his car, and his wife with a golf club?

Inquiring cut-outs want to know.

Rap "star" Sky Blu of LMFAO claims Romney attacked him on Vancouver flight.

111 Source: TMZ. Remember their JFK pic debacle?

I saw the "video" these idiots made. It does not in any way challenge what Romney has asserted. I'm betting that once these "rap stars" (who the hell are they again) realized that they confronted a famous person, they decided to milk it for a little free publicity.

112 BTW, why is anyone watching this Woods farce?

Has anyone checked on this lady to see how the "Hope and Change" thing is going?

114 Tiger take lessons from Slick Willie!!!???  Willies Jedi Knight mind control only works on liberals. Tiger should take lessons from a real long term politician who can lie through his teeth with a smile and actually believe what he is saying.

Would you rather forgo the $300 and instead vote in the next Federal primaries and/or elections? Check here.

Actually I still like my idea best. You must pay more than a minimum amount of taxes in the district for which you are voting. i.e. To vote for a nationwide office you must pay federal taxes of some minimal amount (not EIC either). The vote for a Statewide office you must pay State taxes of some minimal amount. This would go for every office all the way down to city functions.

If you are a leach on society you don't vote. Its that simple.

No more voting yourself a free ride on the backs of others.

118 New York is closing all their state-run Revolutionary War historic sites.  To save money. 

While I recognize the need to save money, they're saving $29M by cutting out parks and historic sites after spending $200M on cash-for-baby-mamas last summer.  Priorities.

I tried that once. Morale was great but the rest sucked.

You're supposed to drink one, not several.  I find that one stiff drink is just enough to take the edge off a little.  It smooths out that constant background noise of extraneous worry/stray thoughts. 

But hey - to each his own.

They are closing Oriskany? Damn, I've been there, and had some interesting conversations with the Rangers.

And just for y'all, in the movie "Drums Along the Mohawk" Henry Fonda describes the battle to his wife. Great scene.

Tose parks must be popular or they wouldn't do it. This is the way ALL the local commie government do it during down economy times. First they try to raise taxes (which NY already did).  If they can't raise taxes or the tax increase isn't enough they threaten to elliminate essential services like police or fire. If they can't do that because of union pressure they elliminate popular services.  The idea is to bludgeon the public into even more tex increases,

But AFTER they raise taxes and the economy eventually recovers do they ever reduce taxes when the money starts rolling in? 

Hahahahaha; they find some new socialist program shithole to pour money into.

Yup - it's a universal pattern.  Here in MI they're pulling that all over the place.  Trying to save socialist bullshit programs by sacrificing things that have some legitimate value.  It's all trickery.  Police, fire, jails, roads, etc are all being cut.  In the mean time the "food assistance" is at a record high, and we have the world's fattest poor poeple.  Our welfare scum eat steak, and name-brand everything.  Plus they sell their ample left over portion to others to cover the oh-so essential beer and cigs.  Go figure.

If someone wants food assistance they should get FOOD.  Not money.  The rule should be thus:  Come on down to the food distribution center.  Wait in line in the snow for a while.  Then take a bag of ramen noodles, canned beans, powdered milk and powdered eggs, and government cheese.  Then go the F**K home and don't F***ING come back until next week asking for more!  Further, there should be a weigh-in each visit.  If they gained weight or are already obese, then they get a reduction in their allotment until they get thinner.  They obviously already stocked up on nutrients and do not need to take as much from their fellow man.

LOL, I could go with that....but......

124 TIGER WOODS OFFERS APOLOGY

-Orlando, FL

Golfing great Tiger Woods took the stage today to make a statement addressing the sex scandal that has surrounded him for the past four months.  Stoic, yet at times visibly emotional, Woods read from a prepared text in a room filled with hand-picked friends.

"Let me be clear.  I do not regret, nor am I sorry for having extra-marital sex with multiple women," Woods began.  "However, I am sorry about the quality of the women I chose to have sex with.  I am ashamed that, at times, I settled for much less than I could have, or should have.  A man with my wealth and fame should have certain standards, and looking back, it is clear to me that I did not live up to them," said Woods, evidently referring to the former pancake waitress he allegedly had relations with in the back of a VW bus.

"I have begun the process of re-evaluating the criteria by which I select my mistresses, and promise to do better in the future," Woods explained.  He promised "to never again let myself, nor my gender, down again."  He concluded his remarks vowing that "I assure you that the next woman I have sex with that is not my wife will be much, much hotter than my wife, and if you doubt me, I will bathe in your blood before the children of Babylon."

126 That phosphorus story is the kind of thing Rahm would call "fucking retarded".  The author is using all sorts of terms and phrases incorrectly.

I wish they would throw in a science class or two in j-school.
