WASHINGTON – A new White House report says last year's $862 billion stimulus law has now "saved or created" between 2.5 million and 3.6 million jobs.

That's up from 2.2 million to 2.8 million in the last quarterly report from the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Christine Romer, head of the council, says in congressional testimony prepared for Wednesday that every $1 from the stimulus bill is matched by $3 in private money.

She says the law "appears to be stimulating private investment and job creation at a time when the economy needs it most."

Can they still say this shit with a straight face? Let's see the economy is in the crapper so just release a new report with better numbers. Brilliant

Concerning the NAACP racism resolution:

They're justification for calling the Tea party racist is based on a few instances of racism, based on anecdotal evidence. Kind of like the concept that one bad apple ruins the bunch.

 

Well, i don't have the time, but if someone were to looking into the rabid antisemitism of NAACP members and even leaders, they should compile a list and  let the TEA party pass a resolution claiming the NAACP is a jew hating organization. (if the tea party can pass resolutions, i am not sure how that works).

 

The simply fact would be there is far far more evidence of jew hatred at the NAACP than there is racism in the tea party.

Actually from what I saw it was based on the phony accusations of those idiots marching across the WH lawn that claimed the N-word and spitting. You know, that incident that was later shown to be entirely made up.

As I said on the other thread, the two biggest racist organizations in the country are the NAACP and the CBC.

It was so transparent.  They made up, out of whole cloth, some of the charges.  Some of the stuff had never even been suggested before.  They also clung to the spitting on the Congressman thing.  This is purposeful to get out the black vote in 2010.  They hope that most black people will believe the lies.  And why not?  Nobody in the media will challenge the NAACP.

I don't even think we have to shift it to antisemitism. There has been plenty of good ol' racism among NAACP members through the years, especially the local chapters.

And, if you consider false claims of racism to be a form of racism, as I do, then it's off the charts.

Levi has a job? No. Bristol and baby are still dependents on mommy, Bristol still a college freshman. At this point, do Bristol and Levi realize that they finance life together by publicizing their flaws for magazine exclusives? MamaGrizzly already provides for her daughter who expects mommy to be there for her no matter what.

This.

A majority of Americans have become so race-whipped that they won't call out any black person who cries "racism" on scant or no evidence.

I'm afraid the end result is that there will be a sharp rise in whites deciding that if they have the name, they might as well play the game. Sympathy for fake victims can only go so far, and the NAACP, along with the Osama Obama regime, has reached Balloon Boy status in the "feel me" game.

I have no regrets about participating (locally in CA) in the Civil Rights movement back in the 60s. I didn't expect gratitude, and still don't. What I expected was to help make a change in society that made stupidity like that shown by the current government, the Black Panthers and various fake "Reverends" unnecessary. On both sides of the racial aisle.

Can't cut and paste still, but the language in the resolution, from HA is "to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era".

That's not calling a few people racist, that is claiming the movement itself is trying to do that.

I predict that I will get mad at journalists today when they print that crap without adding "despite absolutely nothing like that in any tea party literature, statements, or home-crafted signs."

From US Weekly magazine:  exclusive!

The pair, both 20, say they reconnected about three months ago while working out a custody agreement for their 18-month-old son, Tripp. “I really thought we were over,” Johnston tells the magazine, which puts the formerly star-crossed lovers on the cover. But after a walk, Bristol says she was stunned how different her former fiancé was. Later, Johnston texted her: “I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again.” “I was in shock,” Bristol says.


“I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again.”

Code for:  "My hormones are raging and I need booty.  Plus, I love humiliating your family, and I smell meal ticket.  I'm out of money.  That Kathy Griffin gig didn't pay."

74 Ed "Pillsbury Doughboy" Morrissey has just posted (again) at HA about NASA's mission to make Muslims (like the one in the White House?) happy.

He writes that this is a job for the State Department, not NASA.

Excuse me? Isn't State's job to represent the United States in that self-important, isolated, inbred world called "international relations?"

I don't want my country's representatives making nice to a bunch of Islamic wackos. I want to see our interests and rights in the world protected.

In fact, it'd be good for the country morally and financially if State was reduced to something like the status and power of the California Egg Board. Or lower.

93 Not for anything but Palin's daughter is an adult.  So really she can do whatever she wants with her life and her mom really has nothing to say about it.  Her mom is an adult, if her mom chooses to support Bristol and the baby, that is her mom's choice.  Families are complicated.  A lot of relationships put the label "it's complicated" on facebook for this very reason.  Governing is cut and dry compared to mothering.(per my mom who says this all the time, about mothering being difficult and their being no handbook and you do your best).  So any idiot who thinks they can draw a parallel with Sarah Palin's mothering and her governing is really barking up th wrong tree.  One, the mothering is based on love and emotion.   The other, governing, is based on fact (at least it should be) and the will of the people.  There is no comparison and this will be a great way to alienate those soccer moms who are big supporters of Sarah Palin (the ones who admit it and the ones in the closet who don't).   I think Sarah Palin is doing a great job with her daughter by not dictating how her daughter should live her live and by not asking the daughter to do certain things for the sake of Palin's political career.

This is her "first love".  My oldest had one of those.  Clung to him for 3 years (during which he cheated on her numerous times) and finally got him to marry her.  2 months later, he informed her he had a girlfriend and she was pregnant.  My daughter tried to repair things but finally gave up when he announced his plan to move the chick in with them.  She's now divorced and much, much smarter.

If that is true, and I'd like to to think it is, they need stop just rolling their eyes and speak up. White racism didn't decline until white Americans spoke up.

I'm hearing AAs speak up on local and national media. A Black Tea Partier from Philadephia called in to Bennett's show this morning, refuting the NAACP tea party racism claim. And I've heard AA personalities disagree with Jesse Jackson's comments about Lebron being a slave. How many Black conservatives are running for congress this year, about 30 or so? The AA middle class is waking up to the reality that there is a choice for them besides the old school race industry jokers.

Shep trying to do that chummy guy thing makes me want to throw up.  He is not a guy I'd want to have a beer with.  And O'Reilly jabbering merely for the sake of talking.  Most of the time he's simply re-stating what the guest just said--not advancing the discussion, wasting time, as it were.

Speaking of O'Reilly, he actually defended the use of NASA as a Islamic da'wa and historical revision agency. 

Nobody is talking about this angle, but tasking NASA to talk up Islam is the actual ESTABLISHMENT of religion.  When governments proselytize for a particular faith, that's the whole enchilada.

O'Reilly is trying to look moderate.

Jane - Mrs. Reason used to watch The View a lot, until the episode with Glenn Beck.  That was when it finally clicked in her mind that watching The View only made her feel angry at the television, and unfairly caricatured about who she is as a Christian conservative for an hour.  Stopped watching, and has never looked back. 

She's a much happier person to talk to during the lunch hour now, too...

Damn, I missed that! So she isn't one of those painted ladies at FOX?

I have recently heard Laura Ingraham doing the new radio ads for the station's hosts, specifically for Michael Savage's show. And I've heard her voice support for Michael Savage on her show when he was being sued by CAIR, long before the Brit Socialists targeted him KNOWING that Savage's radio host peers wouldn't lift a finger on his behalf, let alone say a word.

You know, despite Savage's personality, I don't see how conservatives can argue AGAINST his perspectives on the various philosophies and cultures involved in the world's politics. And since so many can't really argue with him effectively, they play the mute egotistical cowards looking on while he's abused by enemies of our Constitutional Republic.

Many years ago when I first heard his show en route home, I was amazed to hear someone articulate so well my own views. Back then, America wasn't on the verge of collapse, and his monologues and phone calls that I heard were centered on that zeitgeist before 9/11.

Now, he has been delegated by circumstance the role of America's prophet crying from the wilderness, repent for the day of the lord is at hand. In other words, destruction is at hand. Halt and reassess our positions.

I wish his peers would lend him the hand he deserves despite his spite towards everyone's weaknesses aside from his own. Beyond proving their own smallness in spirit, hosts like Limbaugh prove just how far off target from conservatism they really are in their politics. For instance, Hannity's "Reagan Conservative" and "American exceptionalism" sounds so patriotic and virtuous until we realize the fallacy embedded within egotism that excuses itself as well as excusing terrorism so long as at the moment of occurrence it is designated as "good" terrorism (Afghan Taliban) vs. undesirable "bad" terrorism (Afghan Taliban).

phoenix - read it, too.  The storyline felt a little hurried.  I think some of that is the consequence of Glenn's low-grade ADD.  He could've taken more time, drug the storyline out to span maybe a year (gosh, it felt like everything was crammed into a weekend!).  Doing that would've made the book probably 50 - 100% larger, and Glenn seems to have a rough cap on book length.  I've got Inconvenient Book, Arguing, and Overton Window, and on the shelf they're all about the same thickness.

(not really spoilers, but if you want to read the book without having any clue about what goes on, I've blotted it out)

I took the story as largely a case-study in how the Overton Window concept works.  You start off in the rough equivalent of the current American climate, and by the end of the book you are way off in a place completely unrecognizable, but the march there was nudged along gradually, coordinated with various other events to provide the pretext of justification, and you assume that the bulk of society goes with the flow willingly.  Now that you've seen how the concept can be used to steer the course of society, albeit in an abbreviated example, you're now equipped to recognize real-world instances.  I've read the book.  My wife has not.  And she's started to get irked at me for how often I have started to point out "nudges" in the storyline called The Evening News.

Excerpt (emphasis added)

The groups involved represent the core of the first-time voters who backed Obama, including the National Council of La Raza, the Service Employees International Union, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, and the United States Student Association. (The effort is separate from the Democratic Party's plan to spend $50 million trying to reach those same voters.)

I heard the Gulf Floor Rising bit back on July 4th on Coast-to-Coast.  So, take it for what it is.  It was fun to hear them talking about something other than aliens for a while.

257 > 249 I never understood why BO didn't deploy the navy on the oil spill right away. Posted by: curious Becuase the Navy has no expertise or special equipment to deal with oil spills? The Navy doesn't clean up oil spills, they cause 'em! (by blowing up enemy ships).

258 Ok what's the deal with the gulf methane bubble? I haven't gotten a chance to check it out but is is it going to be like the racist african volcanic death lakes that kill black people and cattle every couple years? If we are going to be wiped out I'm going to max out my credit cards and take a loan out on a new porsche gt3 rs.

From what I recall, I don't think the methane is under the gulf floor.  It has been saturating the waters around the blown out well, like the CO2 in soda.  This was backed with a study of the oil coming out of the well (don't have a cite, feel free to dispute this) that a "normal" oil well puts out about 95% crude, with 5% methane mixed in, but the mixture coming out of the gulf well is closer to 60% crude and 40% methane.

This methane gets stuck in the colder, deep waters.

Whatever is causing the floor to bulge will eventually give, causing the floor to cave back in.  This action will basically shake up the gulf water, again, like a soda, causing all the methane trapped in the water to come out of solution and bubble up to the surface.

This is bad in two separate, deadly ways.

First, obviously, a massive methane bubble reaching the surface is gonna suffocate anything that needs oxygen to survive.

Secondly, the bubble will sink any ship unfortunate enough to be above it, as boats rely on being lighter than water to float (not lighter than methane).  Down go the ships.

In addition to all this, the collapse of the gulf floor would result in the creation of a very large wave, only minutes away from the gulf coast, giving essentially no warning time before it crashes to shore, washing away New Orleans, Houston, Galveston, Brownsville, etc...

Again, I've got no source.  Take this as you will.  I'd love for someone to post evidence that all of this is complete horseshit.  It'd make me sleep better at night.

Yasser's website is a site where one can chat with girls in arabic.

Typical spam, just from our racist Al-Q trolls instead

 Our local tea party committee is most definitely raaaacccissst.  Except for the black mom, dad, and teenaged daughter who recently joined.

Amazing what you can accomplish with a "Uncle Tom's Wanted" sign I guess..

It's just so sad to me that liberals cannot or will not see that this has nothing to do with race whatsoever.  There are people out there who are honestly concerned about the direction of our country and their trying to make a difference, and instead of listening all the opposition wants to do is hurl ugly, baseless accusations because they can't discuss the merits of their position.

reason, a methane hydrate boil-off would wipe out life in the lowlying areas around the Gulf, depending on the prevailing winds.

It's been documented at a link I saw here before

Ahh, here it is

All of youtube was generating a 502 error a minute ago.

Hey toby, thank you.

But even if that guy's hypothesis is wrong, a massive bleed out of the oil well coould cause enough of a colloape of the sea floor to let a goodly chunk of methane out.  The nuke option might have caused a cascade in the frozen methane globally.  So it's possible that this could get massively worse, but still highly unlikely.

272 Damn.  They didn't fall for the "nuke it" option...was such a good ruse...
