Barone says Nanny Nan doesn't have the votes.

 

Maybe that’s why they came up with that outrageous “rule” that says it has already passed yesterday.

More Puddin Dipping from N.O.

 

We have a rarity on the floor in the House of Representatives Thursday. The House will debate and vote on four articles of impeachment of federal Judge Thomas Porteous of New Orleans.

 

Judge Thomas Porteous (name that party) extreme liberal appointed by Bill Clinton will be impeached today!

Morning!

The district's enrollment of fewer than 18,000 students is about half of what the schools had a decade ago and just a quarter of its peak in the late 1960s.

Many students have left for publicly funded charter schools, private and parochial schools and the suburbs.

Just a wild guess here, but I'm going to say this is probably very, very good news for the 18,000 kids who are in other schools now.

If she were a Republican, they'd be calling for her to resign.

7  That isn't foundation; it's that fake skin they use for movie special effects.

That bluster from yesterday, I believe, is just that -- I still think she doesn't have the votes and is trying every (lame) tactic in the book.  I think she's also hoping that by keeping up the scare she can get the public to either cower/roll over, or do something stupid -- that's the only way they "win" anything out of this.

Bitch.

Everyone, including a bunch of eyore Republicans called for Dennis Hastert to resign.

I love the Paleo-Clamatology piece.  That Roman Warming period is going to be just one more previous "warm" period that makes today, not so unprecedented.

And the possibility of clam studies in the Southern Hemisphere, must have the alarmist dirtying their drawers.  Their last objection that MWP is weather, not climate, because of a lack of Southern data will come down like a house of cards.

16

Yeah, this throws me off. Mornings are for Lileks, Tim Blair, and Power Line.

Ace needs a few daylight hours to recover enough from his hangover so he realizes he only has one monitor.

I'm in Kansas City, and that school closing thing is only the latest issue with that district.  They've been in the news constantly for about the last 15 years.  Or a decade or too longer, if you count that insane 'desegregation lawsuit.'

In about 23 years they've gone through 21 Superintendents.  Each one they've hired was praised as just what we need to get over these problems.  And each one has pissed off someone on the Board, and ends up getting fired.

The real problem is the Board, some of them have been there for decades and have gotten their own little political kingdom going.  I think some members of the Board have more sway and influence than the actual City Council members.

The place is such a mess that one of the first things this Sup. did was tell everyone that you have to physically show up at a specified place to pick up your paycheck.  Seems they had a lot of payroll problems, and no one could adequately explain who all was on the lists and what they did for that paycheck.

18

Their last objection that MWP is weather, not climate, because of a lack of Southern data will come down like a house of cards.

They have had southern data that showed the MWP and the mini-ice age was not limited to the Northern Hemisphere for decades.

They are ocean bed core bores.  You just never hear about it from the media.

I read that sidebar article and noted the same old shit that the Democrat big city administrations ALWAYS do when faced with a budget crunch and can't raise taxes.  Lay off the NECESSARY employees like teachers, police, and fire dept while keeping the graft corruption and welfare.

Also note the blame going to "banks redlining" etc.  That same old crap that was discredited as soon as the report came out.

As soon as the urban trogladites realize that electing socialist Dems to run the city always results in bankruptcy maybe they will stop voting for them.

Also, wasn't it Kansas City that the federal court ordered to raise taxes and provide more funding for the schools?  I find it ironic that now they are shutting them down.  

27 Seems they had a lot of payroll problems, and no one could adequately explain who all was on the lists and what they did for that paycheck.

I have no idea why shoveling more money into school administration doesn't make kids learn.  /deadpan.

28 Good News Time: Rasmussen tested Dino Rossi vs. Patty Murray - Rossi by 3. However, if Benton gets in, Murray is ahead by 11.

And at the wire it's Sea Biscuit by a nose, Man of War second, and Obama a distant third.

Hmm, Cubs... almost as bad! 

I will try, once again this year, to like the Royals, since the K is just a couple miles from the house.  Fact is, I pretty much grew up on the other side of the state and have been a lifelong Cardinals fan, at least when I feel compelled to be a fan of anything.

As for the Royals, I've had a bug about them since '85.  That man was clearly OUT!

31 Beck is talking about the Executive orders.   Last night in the ONT I linked to the page with the orders and haven't seen anything there that talks about the "land grab" or the "you can't fish" thing.  The most recent seems to be the order of succession within the DOD and it makes you wonder why they amended that.

32

"They have had southern data that showed the MWP and the mini-ice age was not limited to the Northern Hemisphere for decades."

True enough.  I didn't mean total lack, just not very much.  Which is true, but not enough so, that the Jones of the world should be able to get away discounting it.

How about the fact that the outside, independent IPCC panel will NOT be reviewing any of the previous IPCC claims or science.  On the surface it will just be proposing new work processes.  Beneath the surface, the real effort will be implementing new methods for avoiding detection.

We've come a long way baby.

33 My daughter was  offered a free trip the Southern Republican Leadership Conference if she agreed to vote for Romney in the straw poll.

Eh, that's standard for straw polls.  There was one on the Iowa State campus when I was there, all the campaigns would pay your entrance fee if you promised to vote for their guy (and they had to know full well the students were all going to vote for the Democrat in the general).  Forbes was popular, he had the best caterer.

Did that cut the payroll by half?

The tone of the article is so dramatic. "Desparate bid" and "most painful vote".

Um, if they've lost half of their students, what did they think would happen?? Why are they shocked? Did they have salty, undrinkable coffee, too and so didn't realize that halving the student population would mean a need for fewer schools and teachers??

35 Is the LA county anchor baby story new?  Where they account for 1/4 of all welfare payments?

Also, wasn't it Kansas City that the federal court ordered to raise taxes and provide more funding for the schools?  I find it ironic that now they are shutting them down.  

Yes, that was the Deseg Case, that brought up the whole forced cross-town bussing of students in the name of "integration."  And the Fed Judge in the case did raise some form of tax to pay for it, and appointed a local law firm to monitor the progress of the forced integration and netting them several million bucks a year.  Let's see, do we report things are cool now, or do we say there are still problems and keep our millions coming in?

Now that said, as I understood how it happened, something DID need to be done.  Seems most of the black population tended to live in one central area, and the various districts for each school were drawn out to represent that area.  When a sufficient number of black people moved out that area, they would redraw those lines to reinclude them in the central schools.  Went on for years.

38

Last night in the ONT I linked to the page with the orders and haven't seen anything there that talks about the "land grab" or the "you can't fish" thing. 

They have not issued the E.O. for the fishing thing yet. They just closed out the public comment period for the proposed rule.

Personally I don't think OBama has the authority to do what he wants to do with an E.O. I am hoping one of the States sues if he tries to implement this.

This isn't even a treaty. It is bowing to a foreign lobbyist group.

I looked at Drudge. How long has she be dead/mummified?

40 Mama AJ:  Nope, although that would have been nice.  Turns out almost all, except one or two or something like that, were actually legitimately employed.  Just no one could seem to document them all in one place.

41 Harleycowboy,
Not long enough, she's still moving.

42 So BOA, if they even think that you're thinking of defaulting by missing ONE payment, is sending contractors out to padlock the house?

I'm sure that depends on the client.  BOA was giving mortgages to illegal aliens; I'm sure they want to avoid tangling with that particular grievance lobby.

43 48 I keep thinking about Dorian Grey but with the opposite effect. All of her indiscretions, lies, manipulations, bribery, and threats show up on her skin.

44 "On Sunday, Steve Levy the popular Suffolk County executive who is best known outside Long Island for his opposition to illegal immigration announced that he was formally considering a run for governor".

This is interesting as his counter parts in Nassau, the neighboring county and Westchester were put out in the recent elections by the voters and replaced by republicans.   Suozzi, according to my sources, wasn't that bad and lost by like a hundred votes but he might have been a challenger for governor.

Hell, I'm sure they are. I remember a few years ago, they local grocers union protesting a "scab" store. was talking to one of th epicketers, who slipped up and told me he was being paid minimum wage to stand there for 8 hours a day. So the thought of them being paid to protest does not surprise me in the least.

52 How did we get to the point where the people are on board with the whole "profit is bad" meme? Eons of class warfare, bad schools, what?

53 Oh, and Matt Damon sucks.

54 From the Zero Hedge article I linked above:  "Summarizing the mood of increasing populist aggression across the nation against Wall Street's uber-wealthy is labor professor at UC Berkley Harley Shaiken: “Wall Street has become a symbol of greed run amok, and what labor is doing here is seeking to demonstrate that it is speaking for working families generally, union member or non- union member.” Strikes in Greece have already paralyzed the country. Will America soon follow?"

What really angers me about this is they fail to acknowledge the role that government has played in this situation.  They fail to see that the oversights were removed by our lawmakers and that places like the SEC were deaf dumb and blind.

55 I went over to wired.  Didn't see Ace mentioned at all.  Saw an article about Breitbart and learned that he co founded the huffington post and I can't stand Ariana so now I'm not liking Andrew so much either.  That he would even associate with her just makes me ill.

56

Wall Street has become a symbol of greed run amok, and what labor is doing here is seeking to demonstrate that it is speaking for working families generally, union member or non- union member.

What does that phrase mean?  Seriously--that one has always bugged me because it doesn't make any sense.

57 "Until last September, the beefy 41-year-old with graying blond hair was a largely covert power in the right-wing media, the hidden hand behind the popular Drudge Report who also, weirdly, cofounded the liberal Huffington Post. But then he struck out on his own. Today his collection of Web sites draws more than 10 million readers a month. He has a book deal worth more than half a million dollars, and he’s a regular presence on Fox News — where he’s headed later tonight, in fact. The covert thing is out the window."

58 How did we get to the point where the people are on board with the whole "profit is bad" meme? Eons of class warfare, bad schools, what?

Yes.  And even most "good schools" are staffed with teachers required by the state to get a four-year degree in Marxist indoctrination to obtain a license...

Random thought: if profit is so bad, why aren't these "downtrodden" folks protesting record labels and "recording artists"?  Movie studios and SAG?  The NFL?   NCAA basketball? 

59 'SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Two strongly felt earthquakes have rocked central Chile as dignitaries arrive for the inauguration of President-elect Sebastian Pinera ... Bolivian President Evo Morales seemed briefly disoriented. Peru's Alan Garcia joked that it gave them "a moment to dance."' Was there tickling and then a shower?

60 It's easy to join a union and pay to have other people make is so that it takes 5 folks to dig a whole in the road, one to dig and four to watch the digging.  It takes guts to go to Wall Street, almost everyone is not on salary but commission, you control your own destiny, no one guarantees anything to you and you are an at will employee.  You make your own way.   Those bonuses are not really bonuses they are the money these guys earned, they get little "salary" during the year, the bonus is very important.  Without those "bonuses" the NY real estate market would be worse than it already is.  The NY economy depends on these people spending these bonuses.   But I guess since most union guys work for government entities they are just used to people taking money in the form of taxation and fees and other "legitimate government means" and they don't care as long as it makes them comfortable.

The Cards's new batting coach ought to be able to teach them a thing or two. About roiding up that is. Although Albert looks to be way ahead of that game.

65 Kansas City schools have been a total disaster since I moved here in late 1976.  I can't even count how many supers they have gone thru.  They aren't the only ones wasting money.  Lee's Summit has great schools, but the waste here is absolutely unbelievable.

66 Was reading something where they are saying they are going to end earmarks for "profit companies" well, why not "non profit companies"?  It seems to me that those are the biggest scams.  The CEO's of those companies make just as much, if not more, than the private sector "for profit company" CEO's.

67 The Cards's new batting coach ought to be able to teach them a thing or two. About roiding up that is.

It's so disappointing about that organization.  I was a Cards fan during the Whitey Herzog era when the biggest guy they had was Jack Clark and everybody else was about 160 lbs dripping wet in the shower (I have it on good authority from Rahm Emanuel!) and stole 50 or more bases.  That was a fun team to watch - base stealing, great fielding, switch hitting, small game baseball.  Even the pitching was fun.  Whitey used to put pitchers into the outfield for a batter or two while he brought in a specialist, then put them back on the mound.

Steroids have ruined baseball. 

68

The key to the unions calling for Wal-Street stuff and the bad profit motive one must keep in mind that the entire union movement in the U.S. was founded by the communists and that is their underlying philosophy. 

Right now Wal Street is an easy target because the medxia is yet to give the truth on what caused all the problems we are having now.  They just parrot the talking points of the Democrap/Communist Party and the 52% sheeple believe it.

They are on Fox now continuing the deonization of the insurance industry which has a very low profit.  I would like to see and insurance complany ask a congressman on one of these House hearings what he would consider an acceptable profit.

When they gave a number like 10% (the standard is 15) they could then say OK we'll raise our rates until we get 10% profit.

70 Late last year, OÂ’Keefe and fellow activist Joe Basel went into the Detroit and Chicago offices of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a hidden camera. They pretended to be scam artists, asking employees there to participate in a complex kickback scheme involving federal incentives for first-time home buyers. In the excerpted footage shown to me by OÂ’Keefe, the staffers seemed only to happy to comply.

71 "Even with the gain, Americans' net worth would have to rise an additional 21 percent to get back to its pre-recession peak of $65.9 trillion. That shows the vast loss of wealth people have suffered from the worst downturn since the 1930s."
