The White House Correspondents Association is moving Fox News up to the front row in the briefing room, according to sources familiar with the process. The WHCA board's decision was unanimous.

Since veteran journalist Helen Thomas retired, three news organizations—Fox News, Bloomberg News, and NPR-have argued that they should move to the front row. Fox News will join the broadcast networks and CNN up front.

However, Fox News will not be taking Thomas's long-held seat in the center.

The Associated Press moves to the center under the new set-up, with Fox News taking the wire service's spot in the front row.

The decision was obviously a result of racism

18 These Polk County officials bring it:

An illegal alien in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up ‘executing’ the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued.

The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area and as soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him. They hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor undocumented immigrant 68 times.
Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because thatÂ’s all the ammunition we had." Now, is that just about the all-time greatest answer or what!

The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be since there were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied “when you are shot 68 times you are naturally gonna die.”

But honestly, the fourth of his complaints is silly. The mechanical trades are better done by robots than by men. Even if Michigan weren't run by dolts, the assembly-line guys were going to have to retrain anyway. If service jobs are in too little demand ("low-paid" and "part-time"), they are still more in demand than the job of putting together a 1981 Chrysler. This was going to happen whatever party was in charge.

Collecting rainwater now illegal in many states as Big Government claims ownership over our water http://bit.ly/cOJkMz

It's illegal in Utah to divert rainwater without a valid water right, and Mark Miller of Mark Miller Toyota, found this out the hard way.

After constructing a large rainwater collection system at his new dealership to use for washing new cars, Miller found out that the project was actually an "unlawful diversion of rainwater." Even though it makes logical conservation sense to collect rainwater for this type of use since rain is scarce in Utah, it's still considered a violation of water rights which apparently belong exclusively to Utah's various government bodies.

"Utah's the second driest state in the nation. Our laws probably ought to catch up with that," explained Miller in response to the state's ridiculous rainwater collection ban.

Salt Lake City officials worked out a compromise with Miller and are now permitting him to use "their" rainwater, but the fact that individuals like Miller don't actually own the rainwater that falls on their property is a true indicator of what little freedom we actually have here in the U.S. (Access to the rainwater that falls on your own property seems to be a basic right, wouldn't you agree?)

63 #54

Vic,

Police and fire departments tend to over-hire during good times. And, because they are so visible, they are easy targets.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of many, most fire departments are unbelievably bloated. Their response times are designed for bygone times, before sprinkler systems, modern construction, smoke detectors, etc. NYC could gut their department with no effect on the death rate.

Cops are a different story, because one could argue that every marginal increase will decrease some crime. But I would argue that there are too many cops in many towns, mine included.

Why is it that government bloat is a great target, except for cops and firemen?

"Kenneth Howell was booted from his job at the University of Illinois for teaching Catholicism. His job at the University of Illinois, as it happens, was teaching Catholicism.

"After over two months of controversy over a firing that should have never have happened, he has been offered his job back. The incident exemplifies the scandals that continue at core institutions of our Western culture. It exposes, once again, the lie that is the popular conception of “tolerance,” so widely in vogue and by no coincidence a tenet of left-wing ideology."

85 Vic, usually this "laying off of cops and firemen" is part of a subtle threat from the local government.  They must want the people to allow them to do something that the people don't want them to do.  So, the best course of action is to scare the people into doing what the government wants?

117 Here's more icing for the economic shit-cake we're all going to be forced to down soon.

State and Local Debt Bombs Ticking Throughout US Heartland

The 50 states have racked up a record $2.4 trillion in bond debt during the economic downturn — the highest level of state and local indebtedness in history, economic analysts warn.

State and local bond debts now consume 22 percent of the nation’s annual gross domestic product (GDP) — a bigger slice of the economic pie than ever before, according to Manhattan Institute senior fellow and City Journal senior editor Steven Malanga.

Based on an analysis of federal data on state indebtedness, Malanga calculates that state and local debt has skyrocketed from 12 percent of GDP in 1980, to 15 percent of GDP in 2000, to an estimated 22 percent in 2010. ThatÂ’s the highest it has ever been, and those figures do not include the estimated $3 trillion in state and local pension obligations.

Any chance we can get video footage of this epic event Mrs. D'oh?

Finally some people are hearing the alarm clock:

For the first since President Obama took office, voters see his policies as equally to blame with those of President George W. Bush for the countryÂ’s current economic problems.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters now think ObamaÂ’s policies are to blame for the continuing bad economy, up three points from last month. Forty-seven percent (47%) say the recession that began under Bush is at fault.

123 Do police chiefs oppose gun control because it is an officer safety issue or because it erodes public support for police budgets?



Police chiefs are in favor of gun control because they long ago ceased to be policemen, and are now politicians with a uniform they wear to press conferences and a rusted gun in the bottom drawer of their desk.

124 So I guess Fox moving up in the Press Corpse was the reason Hannity and Hasselbeck were fellating teh_won the other night.

132 Last week blackberry stock was not doing so well, and now all this banning of the blackberry for security reasons.  That's a canadian company. Wonder who is shorting it?

133 That IBD article should be required reading. As much as people want to downplay extremist talk, and a lot of it is hyperventilating, there is a growing anger in this country. People I know who were never political-minded like most of us here are starting to pay attention and they don't like what they see. If that anger can be channeled to positive change it's all for the better. The danger is the madder people get, the less responsive the system becomes. In fact, it seems those in power insist on throwing gasoline on the fire. If that anger turns to despair and desperation it is only going to take a tiny spark to blow it all up and get it out of control. Once that happens all bets are off. 

134 37: IMO grandparents should not get custody nor be state sponsored foster parents without meeting extra rigorous screening. HELLO if their child was not raised to be a good parent why give them first crack at the next generation? I DO understand that kids of good parents can get into drugs or bad company and go bad but those grandparents could pass a rigorous screening process. There was a case in CO right before 2000 where grandma starved her grandson (yes to death). Initially it was reported as her being paranoid of Y2K but it came out later that she was just an evil evil hag.

146 For all those wondering why police chiefs support gun control there is one major thing to keep in mind. You only hear this from those large police chief organizations.

Those organizations are dominated by the big city police chiefs. The big city police chiefs are all products of the Democrat Machine Party structure.

Democrats ALL support gun control. They are just not pushing it lately because it is a loser at the voting booth. But they will never pass up an opportunity to stick it to gun owners when they get a chance. They just try to do it via stealth now.

158 East ST. Louis has always been a hell-hole. Just before the First World War my grandfather, a young buttermaker in Wis. moved down there for a job in a  creamery. Race riots had broken out (again) and early one morning he came to work and found a previous night's victim hanging from the lamp post outside the creamery door. They had to sent Nat'l Guard troops in, some from Wis. Grampa remembers giving the troops buttermilk while they were there. Looks like they may have to saddle up again.

183 #184, been wondering where the GOP is now for about a month or so.  I'm an independent....I don't see or hear them which is telling me that they must agree with everything the dems are doing and have nothing left to add.

184 Looks like the video feed of Dear Leader couldn't take his crap anymore either.

185 I have noted that Maxine Waters may face the same process as Charles Rangel. Some are now saying that the current ethics investigations show a double-standard. I do not think they do--at least, not as far as the decision to actually investigate goes.

But if there is some kind of "disparate impact", then it is easily explained as thus: it is my understanding that history has reliably shown that after a ethnic group finally gains political power in America with an electorate that is often of an educational and economic level below that which could be called middle class for the time, it is not unusual for the first one or two political generations to have enhanced levels of corruption compared to what the levels will be later (e.g., Irish and Italian-Americans in large cities). Rural environments may offer a counter to this (Germans in Pennsylvania, Jacksonian Anglo-Americans), perhaps more because of lack of opportunity for graft/corruption than anything else. 

Naturally, saying this in America today gets one burned at the stake.

186 The lack of a reputation for graft by Jacksonian Anglo-Americans and the German immigrants of the 1840s may also be because they were able to assume political power without a lengthy (say, 20 years) apprenticeship program.

Letter from last week: (Cuccinelli is a libtard's worst nightmare)

Dear Friends,

I know it's been a while since I've written each of you - but I wanted to send out a note to stay tuned and be a expecting a major announcement in the healthcare case.  The judge in the case is expected to announce his decision on the motion to dismiss within the next week. 

Obviously this decision has huge ramifications - and as an early supporter of this cause, rest assured that we'll let you know as soon as the decision has been made. 

If Virginia's case survives this hurdle, a summary judgment hearing is scheduled for October 18th to decide if the federal health care law is unconstitutional.

Whats a bus ticket to Brownsville cost?

About $5 outside of a Wal-Mart. Why do you ask?

194 Also, vis rural environments--as Jefferson thought, owning and running a farm gave you a sense of independence that caused you to more often reject jobbery and graft--you had little to gain, were not dependent upon others for your livelihood, could not be fired, and were probably intuitively concerned that someone who engaged in corruption could one day turn upon you.

This is beyond religious arguments. I think the Protestant work ethic motivated against it too.

Just thoughts--not to say corruption did not occur, just that I don't think it was on the scale seen later.

206 Curious, I won't worry too much yet. The caucus was formed to address a specific set of problems. Ideas formed there will be presented to the general party caucus. Better to have a smaller group working on an item than everybody just wandering off on their own. As for Boehner and Cantor not joining, they are leadership. They have to co-ordinate all the agenda items ranging from budget, defense, and all the other things facing congess. Their job is to oversee. My old boss didn't ride in the truck with me or spend all day in the shop watching the mechanics. We did our jobs and he made sure everyone had the means to do them. That's what leadership does. At least we now have a specific group to work on Tea Party concerns. Give it a chance.

That definitely sounds extreme, particularly in SLC where there's plenty of mountain snow run off for the state to "capture and release" water through traditional methods of dams, reservoirs and irrigation canals.


This Utah law certainly makes the point that of all states finding the "righteous" sort of fascism acceptable, Utah manages to with flying colors. If this is an old 19th century state law, it would show how easily a community could evict an undesirable farmer from their midst, denying water but what the earth absorbs upon impact of rain. Irrigation verboten.
