Georgia: Congressional Candidate Banned From Debate Because SheÂ’s WhiteÂ…

3 Barry's certainly not letting the BP oil spill crisis go to waste. He's using it to justify 'crap n rape' to impose onerous taxes on everyone in order to make people like Algore who will own the carbon trading exchanges rich beyond avarice, and to 'put the boot on the necks' of everyone else. Also, I see this as a learning moment for Barry and crew. They finally have proof positive of the difference between a terrorist attack and a man caused disaster. (psst -Barry, the man caused disaster is the oil spill) ...taking no chances.

Mayor Richard Daley was primed and ready to tee off Wednesday when asked about the Obama administration's suggestion that the notoriously murky Chicago River be made safe enough for swimming.

"Go swim in the Potomac," Daley said at a City Hall news conference about police issues. "We're trying to make this river every day cleanable, more cleanable."

And he chafed at the "unfunded mandate" he said federal environmental officials are trying to lay at the feet of local government.

"They just can't make an announcement and walk away and say, 'Well, we did it from Washington DC., and that's it,' without even talking to local officials, talking to the governor and everyone else," Daley said.

The Chicago River shouldn't be getting federal scrutiny while the catastrophic oil spill threatens the Gulf Coast, Daley said.

Whatever skills Cameron has, the oil industry perfected underwater operations and have resources unimaginable to Hollywood directors.  Cameron's skill set involves operating at depths of 100 feet or less.  Oil companies routinely function at thousands of feet where the dynamics are very different. 

Cameron is a novice with nothing to contribute except make Obama appear to have his man on the job.  It's all face saving and loaded with ineptitude, inexperience, and bullshit.  BP was well within their right to blow the blowhard off and send Cameron packing. 

What type of ass would believe they could contribute anything to a company with hundreds of dedicated, loyal, and experienced employees with skills that far surpass anything Cameron or anyone else in Hollywood has perfected?

Can someone put me some knowledge where Beck's concerned this morning?  He opened the show talking about BP's initial plan to stop the oil but they were told no-go by Zero.  Someone interrupted me while I was listening at the gym and all I caught was, "If this gets out that BP suggested the Navy could do this from the get-go, but no, the Obama Admin wanted us to try these other 10 things first, well..."  What did he say the Navy could've done?

Also, he mentioned a conversation he had with a historian (who exclusively studies despotism) who doesn't watch/listen to any media who parroted Beck's research (except for this other guy's focus on LBJ).  The historian said that we're in the final stage of takeover.  Beck asked if any country has ever pulled out of this at this stage, and the guy said, Yes, the United States, 1946." 

Did anyone catch how this guy told Beck how we could stop the Internet takeover?  Curious, did you listen today?

111 Those are interesting tidbits, YRM.  I had no idea.

I maintain that the sad irony is that what doomed Bush was that he was too far left.  He really started nosediving after shamnesty, which royally pissed off conservatives, most of whom actually have some intellectual integrity.  So we were furious over that, the stimulus, and general government expansion, and the left hated him no matter what he did, and so... .you get what you got.  If he had actually been the hard right troglodyte the left kept screaming he was, he'd have been much more popular.

good news is the country is starting to wake up and it's a diff. world from the FDR days, Obama opened w/ approvals of 68%, now he's lucky to get a day that he gets 49%, even his approvals w/ Hispanics have taken a huge hit and he's only got the young and poor left (ask Carter how that worked out), and his personal favorables are down from 79% to 53%, and now he gets heckled by lefties and righties, the metdown is fun to watch after the hype we saw in 08 but the way it effects the country is sad to watch as well

Yeah, a friend of mine did that.  In the league where he coached his girl, they had a rule that going up by X goals and your team had to take a player away.  He complained that that player payed to play in the game, and that the player was not getting what she paid for.  Nope said the league.  So when his kids' team went up by X goals, they pulled a player, scored an own goal and then put the player back on.

117 Heh.  Just clicked on the link in the sidebar about Gary Coleman's coffin.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell for laughing at that.

I agree 100%, his 1st term was pretty damn good, his 2nd went horribly wrong; I contend that after the close call in 04 (which should have not been that close, but he ran a horrible re-election campaign and the country still supporting the war and a good economy saved him), he decided to be mr. non-partisan and it bit him in the ass, plus he let the Dems grab the message that Katrina was somehow all his fault instead of Blanco and Nagan who have blood on their hands

anyone saw the Cake Boss season premier and the awesome cake Buddy made for him, Buddy seems like a NJ conservative, but then again he does run a small business...and a successful one at that

PS: everyone's freaking out about Cristie's approvals but look closer, he has a big unsure number on him (which Reagan had all throughout his 8 years, imagine what his approvals would be w/ today's media), when you factor those unsures out Cristie actually has approvals in the low 50s which is great for a Rep and his favorables are still looking pretty good, I want the guy to run for President in 2012 but he won't, he's invested in NJ

121 i'm not a big Beck fan but he's had some good historians on (though their opinion of some Presidents I highly disagree with),

Beck isn't as good as he thinks on history.  A lot of the stuff he quotes is from dubious books he likes and is wrong.

I agree w/ is one of my many beefs w/ him, he also needs to learn that there have been great leaders in this country other then the founding fathers that we can learn from (Coolidge, Aurthur, Jackson)

123 plus he let the Dems grab the message that Katrina was somehow all his fault instead of Blanco and Nagan who have blood on their hands

Oh yeah, his shitty-ass PR didn't help either.  He never fought back against the MFM, which was the other collapsing stilt.  During that whole second term Beck kept saying, "Where's the guy with the bullhorn on the firetruck?"

I think it was an ONT where the conversation turned to Christie.  Some NJ Morons set us straight.  Seems the chubby guv is a gun grabber.  Alas and alack.

126 poly, even though I cast my first vote for Reagan while in college, I didn't pay much attention as to whether he responded to the smears the MFM gave him, but Bush's folks sure kept quiet about everything.  I'm sure he thought it was dignified and taking the high road, but I wish he would've fired back more.  This is an area where Palin excels.  She doesn't take any stuff from anybody.  It's quite refreshing, actually.

but Reagan was able to keep approvals in the 60s and at his height early 70s w/o talk radio or Fox News, Dubya had the bully pulpit, a congress behind him, talk radio, and Fox News and he still managed to almost screw up certain victory in 2000 & 2004 and allow all the dem mistakes (Katrina, the financial crisis) blamed on him, it's a diff. world if what you say was true Obama's approvals would still be in the 60s

A man accidentally shot himself in the testicles at Lowe's Home Improvement store in Lynnwood Sunday afternoon, police said.

The man's handgun, which was in the waistband of his pants, went off at about 12:30 p.m. — an apparent "accidental discharge," according to Shannon Sessions, a Lynnwood police spokeswoman.

"It made a loud noise and scared a lot of people in the store," Sessions said. "I believe he shot himself in the testicles and he also had some injuries to his leg and foot. He was obviously in shock."

129 I totally agree with you, Polynikes, that we shouldn't slam conservatives when it comes to overcoming the MFM. You're also right that the information is out there--but the thing is, I had to go to conservative sources to get it.  Otherwise most people just buy into whatever the current easy-joke Daily Show meme is.  Whatever I knew about what conservatives and liberals were really up to certainly wasn't in the MFM. 

But I don't think W's problem was not getting the message out; it was the message itself-- what he said or didn't say.  For example, his post-Katrina speech from Jackson Square was heinous:  it was too late; it left the impression of an apology; it made it seem like he agreed that the whole thing was his fault.  Contrast that to "Tear down this wall!" and the bullhorn speech-- which people truly responded to, because it was spontaneous, real, and what needed to be said at the time.  Reagan was able to achieve great popularity and was able to reach people even before Rush, blogs, or anything else, because the substance of what he said was loud and clear even though the press hated him. And the press had to carry his conferences and speeches, because-- well, he was the President, and there's only so much they could do to ignore him. I bet that's why the MFM continues its embargo on even hearing a conservative idea... or if it's out there, it's usually first washed in the sexist/racist/HAAAATE veneer.

And I think that's why people are rallying behind Christie, because of such viral videos as the one in which he shoved the reporter's question back in his face. Bush almost never did that. If Bush were up in front of even MFM microphones on a constant basis saying, "Fuck you, the 'Mission Accomplished' banner referred to the ship's mission itself, not the entire war" or "Fuck you, this is what the intelligence said about WMD, and the Congress which voted to authorize the war saw the very same thing" or "Fuck you, Nagan, I declared New Orleans a federal disaster area before the storm even it, and you completely dropped the ball, but I'll help clean up your own mess now"  (basically, I just wanted him to say "Fuck you" a whole lot),  I think people would have heard and responded, and conservatives would feel led instead of like we were trying to constantly pile up sandbags around the guy.   And once he started truly drifting to the left, we didn't want to pile those sandbags anymore.  Only the conservative media was really defending him, and he wasn't doing all that much to help himself because he personally doesn't give two shits about what people think of him-- that, plus the fact that wasn't coming out of his mouth often wasn't truly conservative, is, I think, what doomed him.  W tried to play nice and above it all, and it bit him in the ass.

131 http://preview.tinyurl.com/2feckcd Performance-Pay Model for Education shows no increase in achievement by the students. That is until you get under the hood... "ChicagoÂ’s incentive payouts, which were lower than those in other programs nationwide... averaged $1,100 for those in schools in their first year of implementation..." Ok, not bad, so you get an extra grand a year if your students perform awesome. I'd do it. Except... "Chicago officials did not adhere to all aspects of the TAP model. For one, the district spread the bonus funding to teachers, principals and staff, rather than simply to teachers." Ok, now that's not as cool. My grand gets split up among the janitor!? So what you're saying is really I get less than 50 bucks for merit pay? Ok, maybe, I mean I like teaching, and 50 bucks is 50 bucks. But... "Because of problems with obtaining student-growth data linked to individual teachers, Chicago paid bonuses based on schoolwide, rather than classroom achievement growth." Ok deal's off. And after all that we can conclude statically that merit pay shows no achievement edge. I wonder if they checked to see if $48,631/year is statically different from $48,681/year.
