1 Another healthcare "summit" today?

2 Friday,and buried in snow again.

3 Whitehouse Press conference today at 2pm Eastern! Joy!

4

Friday. *sobs* What took you so long??

5

So what is the NEWS today???

 

A different take in slanting by the media is “lack of news”.  The only coverage by the MSM of the “health scammitt” Dem PR conference yesterday is by ABC who repeated the same old BS “Republican Party of No” meme.  None of the other networks have anything at all about it.

 

That tells you how awful bad the Dems did.  The media canÂ’t even lie their way out of it.

Did anyone hear what Shultz said about Cheney? Newsbusters has it _{too tired to link.}

What you don't understand is, errr, uummm, I have not reached you yet, err umm, and I, errr, ummm, will keep talkin' until I errr, ummmm do

8 The summit appears to have been a "tie" as per the media and pundits, which is to say, the Republicans "won"

9 3 Friday,and buried in snow again.

Yeah.  Only one thing to do now, *gazes at external hard drive with 130GB of Skinemax pron clips longingly*.

10

Speaking of the summit. Someone posted here recently that Obama thinks he is King.

His problem is that the King is John. At Runnymede.

Looking at Obama's face during the summit is pretty much the same look John has in any depiction of the signing of the Magna Carta. Irritated, to say the least.

11 I told you you need a balcony bitch.....

Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. economy expanded at a 5.9 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, more than the government reported last month, reflecting stronger business investment and a greater contribution from inventories.

Does this news come with a laugh track?

16 Barry just laid off another 23,000 people.  On top of the ones he laid off when he canceled the missile defense and all the other military R&D.

19 From Michelle Malkins tweet: RT @newyorkpost: BREAKING: Gov. Paterson Will Not Seek Reelection: More Details To Come

20 What is up with that dead sister tooth story? I only have heard this second hand. Why is she carrying around her dead sisters teeth? Does she want the insurance companies to cover cloning her sister from the teeth or something?

21 Goldberg points out that Pelosi is still an idiot.

22 Why is she carrying around her dead sisters teeth?

The government didn't give her free lifelong medical care, so she couldn't afford dentures, so she used her dead sister's. 

I'm not sure what the big deal is--in any other context, Slaughter et al would be preaching the importance of eschewing material things to "save the planet."  Reduce, reuse, recycle; use up, wear out, make do, or do without.  The power of Gaia compels you!

23 Breaking: Paterson's out for NY-gov...

24 Obamabots! Leave you comments here: http://radio.barackobama.com/ Here's my report back to Dear Leader: My Dearest Obama, As you wished, I called WTEM sports talk radio in Washington DC. I voiced my opinion that the Redskins should try to trade down their #4 pick for some lower first round picks. The Skins need to rebuild their O-line and this year's draft is chock full of them. I mean fercrisakes! They shouldn't waste their pick on a QB. He'd get DESTROYED with that current line! Then he would need some SERIOUS health care ... which doesn't look like is going to be around anytime soon. Oh yeah, and I dutifully blamed Bush for the health care failure AND the Redskins awful season. He's evil, eh? As my reward, may I have the booger that you picked on C-SPAN yesterday? I wish to bronze it.

25

comment on NY Gov Paterson getting out.  Bambi wanted him out.  and therefore Paterson is out.

Paterson is not a shining beacon, but this is Rahm Emanuel behind this.

26 #24  Maybe Pelousy saw that Britian's NIH is in the top 3 (if not the first) largest single employers in the entire world and wanted to emulate that "success".

WASHINGTON – Facing potential midterm election losses and a stuck-in-the-mud legislative program, Democrats can now add to their worries the ethics problems of chief House tax writer Rep. Charles Rangel.

The House ethics committee accused Rangel on Thursday of accepting corporate money for trips to Caribbean conferences in violation of House rules. The committee said it couldn't determine whether Rangel knew about the financing, but found that his staff did — and concluded Rangel was responsible for learning the truth.

I'm sure that racism is at the heart of this investigation. And does this mean that Charlie in the pocket of big evil corporations?

28 29 #24  Maybe Pelousy saw that Britian's NIH NHS is in the top 3 (if not the first) largest single employers in the entire world and wanted to emulate that "success".

FIFM.  I suck.

29 NY's Patterson just suspended his reëlection campaign.  So it's Cuomo v. Lazio(Romney)...


Like the "ë"?  I found it in the The New Yorker.  Yes, the The New Yorker...

30 Report My Show—PLEASE! at the Natural Truth.

  "“This is Agent Cambridge. Contact made with target Graham on frequency 969. Challenged his connections to Big Oil, Cheney, and the Illuminati.

31 Friday? Never heard of it.

32 THE NEW CLASS WAR:

  The old social and political divisions have given way to two new classes — rather as on the trains. Those in economy are most of us, paying for the comforts of those in first class. And those in first class are the new political class — all those who owe their advancement and their security and their pensions and their privileges not to their backgrounds or their talents, or even necessarily their political parties, but to the state and our taxes.”


Link busted as necessary.

33 Lazio? He's got as much chance as Paterson had.

I was mildly rooting for Paterson since Obama started bullying him, but hiking the alcohol taxes and closing the Revolutionary War historical sites to "save money" while refusing to cut actual waste (or to close less important historical sites...the estate of John Lincklaen is a higher priority than Oriskany Battleground?!  Really?!) pissed me off.

34 Well that's interesting, patterson not seeing re election.  Wow, isn't this exactly what the pres "suggested"?

35 Actually, the big news that was missed yesterday was the re-upping of the Patriot Act. While the libtards were ogling BarryO yesterday, their favorite 2006 boogy man sailed right thru. Aren't they still worried the g'vmnt will listen in on their cells while they are making dope deals? Code Pinko, hello? hello? Where have you gone, Cindy Sheehan? Kos???

36 I was just coming to post about that di. Ya beat me to it. 

Passed by a wide margin too.

WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives reauthorized the Patriot Act for one year Thursday.

The vote was 315-97 .

37 Rick Lazio lost the election to hillary.  He was ahead the entire time and then they say that he lost the election when he crossed the stage to go over to hillary.   An awful lot of NYer's were shocked when she won, an outsider.  but now that we know everything that hannah and o'keefe have uncovered, maybe NYer's wouldn't be so shocked.

38 Yesterday Peter King was on the radio.  He was talking about a "manager's amendment" put into a bill that was supposed to be "routinely passed".   King was upset about the "language of the bill".  Anyone know what he was talking about.  He came on really quickly breathless and shocked and said "call your congress person, tell them not, not to vote for this bill.  

39

Tea Party at City Hall in Dallas tomorrow at noon.  Hope to see fellow morons there!

40

The meme from the media today is that "reconciliation" has been used many times in the past, including 5 times by the evil Bush/Cheney duo.

Wendell "Great Pyramid" Goller started his speil by saying Bush inherited a "budget surplus" and then used reconciliation to pass a "tax cut".

Yes, that "fair and balanced" network is laying the groundwork FOR the Dems talking points. 

41

One other thing on that "reconcilliation use by Bush".  I would like to know how the President uses "reconciliation" to pass a bill in the Senate.

 

42 Yesterday the Senate voted to "encourage tourism" by charging people $10/head to enter legally.

Yeah, OK.

wattsupwiththat.com covered this a week or two back....some of the oceans have been very warm due to an El Nino, and may well have set records since data has only been collected for about forty years.  But it was a temporary effect, didn't warm the land, El Nino has been observed for centuries...nothing to do with "global[sic] warming[sic]"

48 hahhahahah some reporter said that Beck didn't think Raegan was a republican in some major publication.  So Beck is now searching for the context in which he could have said anything of the sort.  Too funny.

49

Of course the problem becomes, where exacty is it hot? Anyone here in the U.S. and Britain can pretty much claim "Not Here'!

So they just look like fools. Expecially when they use statistics to try and prove their points and graphs. As opposed to the real world.

Geez these people need to get a grip.

Haven't been able to pay attention lately, been swamped, however wasn't there just a court case wherein a judge said CA had to pay back pay or something?   Is that being paid with IOU's.   Would you or I be able to give anyone an IOU?  

53 Posted by: shibumi at February 26, 2010 12:15 PM (OKZrE)

Hasn't HSBC ceased doing business in the US?  Thought I read something to that effect.  And, what makes you think it isn't legitimate.  It's not a doctor in Africa.  It's Obama's people.

Big Headline over at Fox:

U.S. Climate Data Compromised by Sensors' Proximity to Heat Sources, Critics Say

A critical cog in the machinery that drives the theory of global warming may be compromised, as temperature sensors across the U.S. appear to be exposed to heat sources that some critics say is corrupting their information.

Way to go Fox. This story broke 6 months ago. Of course, we were all deniars then.

I don't know about any judge, but CA did use IOUs in the past and required certain banks to accept them.  I think they stopped and finally paid up in real dollars, but looks like they're going back to Plan A after all.

The bad news for all of you in CA who are paid through 1099s:  Cough up more for your estimated taxes.  The good news:  Business is so bad here your estimated taxes may be half of what they were last year.

Honestly, why not just go IOU full-time?  I'm not a lawyer, and I don't care too much about legalities for this argument, since the state of CA seems to do what it wants no matter what anyone thinks the law says.  If they can get away with issuing IOUs to banks in lieu of USD payments, and if they can force the banks to pay out USD to depositors, why not just "print" what is in effect California fiat money, scrip, and run deficits like Big Fed?  It isn't any more insane than the other ideas they have in Sacramento.  Like spending state legislature time on stuff like this:

ABC's Bradley Blackburn blogs from New York:

It's a bar of soap in the mouth for an entire state:  California's lawmakers have approved a "Cuss-Free Week" to encourage the state's citizens to watch their language.

57 California Delays Payments, Ponders IOUs Again, Demands 80% of Income Tax Paid Before It's Even Earned

But, wait, there's more! 

An Alameda County Superior Court judge said Thursday that California owes back pay to tens of thousands of state workers that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has furloughed without pay since last February.

Unions:  8,724
California:  0

58 Out, out, damn sock.

59 An Alameda County Superior Court judge said Thursday that California owes back pay to tens of thousands of state workers that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has furloughed without pay since last February.

No prob, dude.  Arnold is polishing up his IOU pen.

60 48 They were tits if I BELIEVED they were tits.

61 this has been the problem all along, what is wrong with bankruptcy?  For people, corporations and yes, states.  If CA declared bankruptcy they would be able to get the unions off their back and start over. 

62 Euro MP Farage goes full retard on Euro President at Euro Parliament. Isn't that "Full Biden"? It's politically correct* and more richly descriptive. * yeah, who gives a shit about that anyway.

63

The problem is that bankruptcy goes to federal court. In CA that would be a severe loss.  The unions would wind up owning the State.

64 Posted by: Vic at February 26, 2010 01:05 PM (QrA9E)

From what I'm told by my CA friends, normal regular Americans are leaving the state in droves so maybe all that's left will be the union members anyway so heck give them the state, with the tax base gone what are they going to do.  I'm waiting for someone to whole sale take silicon valley out of there with offers of great new campuses and tax advantages and a technically educated native population.  Like those guys in that triangle in the carolinas.

69 More fun facts about Amy Bishop's first murder. 

Investigators have discovered that a newspaper on triple murder suspect Amy Bishop's bedroom floor when she killed her brother more than 20 years ago described an incident strikingly similar to what she did that day, raising questions about her claim it was an accident.

70

Like those guys in that triangle in the carolinas.

The unions expect Bambi to bail them out with his "stash" and he will if the Rs don't take control of the House this year.

As for the research triangle, those toads are the one responsible for the "purpling" of NC.  I never can understand what it is with libtard idiots. They ruin the States they are in by continually voting for communists, leave because the State goes bankrupt and then start the process all over in the "new" State.

"The unions expect Bambi to bail them out with his "stash" and he will if the Rs don't take control of the House this year."

Stash?  Surely it couldn' be this:

"The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man's penis."

Four-and-a-half inch, how embarassing.

74

Penis in a pipe? Been there, done that.

I spent nearly 15 years working at a hospital as a plant engineer. In that time, I freed a penis from a stainless steel ring with a dremel (shoulda used a gold ring), ground a stainless ring from a man's degloved finger with a 4.5" grinder. Degloved is just what you think it is, ring on bone. I pulled a nail out of a guys femur with a crow bar. (DO NOT defeat the safety on your nail gun) I cut a steering wheel off a kid's finger and cut a crescent wrench off another kids' finger. I got a million stories, never a dull moment there.

75

Hey Max Entrophy, what is a plant engineer?  You were working as a doctor/nurse doing this?  Or doing this on the side?

Cool stories by the way.
