4 Gabriel,

"curious" was mentioning last night that ace ignores her tip emails, i.e. probably has so many he never sees them.  Anyways, it seems like she usually has some pretty good stuff, and some of it is sort of more in your bailiwick then in ace's, e.g. the California Senate race.  I don't know enough about how tips move through the pipeline around here to suggest a specific course of action, but if you could find a way to reach out to her, I think it would be a good thing.

West Florence residents dealing with growth, overcrowding issues

FLORENCE - One area of Florence is growing at such a fast pace, that new businesses are arriving almost monthly and the area has so many new residents that school district officials are now drawing up plans for a new elementary school to help with the overpopulation.

And what caused this fast growth????

The area has also seen a large amount of growth in neighboring subdivisions, part of the impetus for the development of expanded roadways funded by Florence County's penny sales tax program.

Why it grew because of a tax increase.

So what does that call for? More Cowbell Taxes of course!

I think there is a chance in a true wave election that O'd will do fine.  I also think the GOP will be better served in the long run having a good 45-48 seats in the Senate to be able to keep a true filibuster going than have a 51 seat by the skin of your teeth "hell yeah we'll pass crap'n'tax, amnesty, and card check" reach around across the aisle "majority".

63 And that includes leaners. I suspect there are not a lot of leaners in O'Donnell's camp, so yea, not as bad. But still, 2 troublesome issues A) Coons is over 50 and B) 11 down with 47 days is a rough sloug. And its not like she has Linda McMahon money to make it up.

Linda McMahon also has Blumenthal's military service woes.

Hatch, Bennett to vote no on immigrant ‘Dream Act’

Three years ago, Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett voted to add the Dream Act to the defense authorization bill, which would have allowed the children of some immigrants here illegally to become conditional citizens if they went to college or joined the military.

That effort failed, but Democrats, led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, plan to try the very same thing Tuesday. This time Hatch and Bennett plan to stick with their Republican colleagues and vote no.

Too late for Bennet but at least he's honest.

81 John Batchelor had a great interview with Carly Fiorina last night.  In the first hour he spoke to her and it should be up after 5 today on his podcast page.
He also makes some great comments about the interview and the process in general at the end of the show (the fourth hour).

During the interview with Carly he discovers that babs has release an ad attacking Carly as a greedy capitalist.  Carly's I'm not surprised reaction was priceless.  I sometime really think people think others are just plain stupid. 

There has been a lot of talk about whether or not Carly was a successful HP CEO.  I never engaged in the talk cause I follow HP and tech and it is more than obvious that she was a great CEO for HP.   The recent events at HP prove that Carly was doing a job that others may not have been able to master.  I'm not a californian so I have no idea how an "evil capitalist" ad will be received.  Gabe? Gabe?

What I do know is that you could tell that Carly Fiorina loves California and Californians and it was impressive how well she "knows her stuff".

Obama, the guy who couldn't contact Poland properly after their president died, and screwed up the first two contacts between his Administration and the second largest country on the planet (India),and who made a point of fouling up talks with the Republican leadership in both the House AND Senate is contacting a loser in a primary from another party?

That is the ugliest shirt I have ever seen.  Looks like a patched together mumu.

Obama when not wearing a suit looks like he shops in the Urkel section of Good Will. 

113 There shouldn't be a moratorium on Delaware convo but it should be restricted at this point to how O'Donnell can win.


Coons favorables are two high right now and she has to get after him.  Additionally, that 76% of repubs she has right now will hopefully go up.  Rasmussen lays out a map for her to follow to hit Coons on:

While a majority of Delaware voters, for example, favor repeal of the national health care bill and passage of an immigration law like ArizonaÂ’s in their own state, that support is lower than is found nationally.

Still, 62% say cutting taxes is a better way to create jobs than increasing government spending. Only 18% say increased spending is a better job-creator.

It won't be as simple as just ripping on Obama though:

Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters in the state approve of the job President Obama is doing, while 43% disapprove. This is higher job approval than the president earns nationally

114 Tomorrow the HQ will feature a DEATH MATCH on this very question.

a "GOP majority" that is functionally indistinguishable from a donk one thanks to Juan Mccain and friends hurts the GOP nationally period.  The power to pack Committees is awesome but we are too idealistic to play reid's games and use true proportionality instead of packing.....

nah if Cap n Trade being passed and Amnesty being rammed through is the price for our holding the all-important to the corrupticans control of the pork cannon alone I'd rather just have a solid filibuster thanks.

And, no, I don't think Obama was not inquiring of Castle just how "flexible" he could be.  I am just saying this is not that unusual.

You'll never take me alive, coppahs!

122 I'm enjoying all the fuss about Rove. It's particularly amusing over at Tepid Air, where the comment-posters are acting like teenagers who have been jilted by their First Crush. Two days ago, Uncle Karl was the "Magnificent Bastard," the fount of wisdom and a Guiding Light.

Now he's this paragon of eeeeeevil who would be doing the world a favor if he simply wandered out onto an iceberg somewhere and became a polar bear snack.

What was his terrible crime? He presented an analysis, based on his knowledge, perception and prejudices. An Establishment Republican acts like one, and the fanboyz go all Rage Boy on him.

What they don't do is listen. Their love for political pinups is based only on feelings, not logic. They clasp some would-be Hero to their collective bosom, defend him/her with religious zeal, invent pet names for them.

This is why I mistrust all the adoration of Sarah Palin. From Does No Wrong  to Miserable Cur is only a short step. She is less a real politician than a living meme. The people who praise her incessantly couldn't tell you what she believes in (except as it has been passed along to them by meme-spreaders like Limbaugh).

Look at the kind of presidents the fanboyz have elected in their orgies of adulation: Kennedy, Clinton, Osama Obama.

Rove said something you don't like? Get over it. He's neither a Magnificent Bastard nor Miserable Cur. He speaks wisdom at times, idiocy at others. Just like a real human being.

Or would you rather follow a pandering cretin like Dick Morris? He's crafty enough to base all his "wisdom" on what people want to hear. That's why Hannity drools over the creases in his pants legs.

123 Remember how two weeks ago Republican leaders were strenuously talking down the conventional wisdom that the House would flip?

Maybe publicly, but privately they were expecting 52 seats in the Senate.  I hope that will still be the case. 

124 Haven't scrolled through to read all the comments so I don't know if anyone else has asked this, but weren't the democrats supposed to make some big, huge announcement on Wednesday?  Did they ever do it?  Because if they did, I have no idea what it was, which would seem to tell me that it wasn't really that big.  Anyone got a clue?

You know what, never mind.  I just found it plain as day at Hot Air.  And all I have to say is... really?  That's it?

132 weren't the democrats supposed to make some big, huge announcement on Wednesday?

133 Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters in the state approve of the job President Obama is doing, while 43% disapprove. This is higher job approval than the president earns nationally

I'm curious how people in Delaware feel about Harry Reid.  My guess is they aren't big fans of his.  And Harry Reid has just inserted himself in the Delaware race in a very strange way.

134 weren't the democrats supposed to make some big, huge announcement on Wednesday?  Did they ever do it?  Because if they did, I have no idea what it was, which would seem to tell me that it wasn't really that big.  Anyone got a clue?

136 I wonder if Castle will come around like Bennett did.  Bennett felt like he got a raw deal, acted butthurt, but he is back on the team.

Well, I don't know Bennett, but if he wanted to maintain any relationships in Utah, he had to come back on the reservation.  It's mighty red here.  So red that one of the former pols I was talking with last week was referring to "conservatives" to distinguish deep red Republicans from light red Republicans. 

It's like that Blues Brothers joke.  We have both kinds of music, country and western! 

137 Wow, did you hear that Harry has a new pet?

144 if the 52 were going to pass reid's agenda I'd rather they not.

The "52" would be 40 of your purists plus 12 RINOs, right?  With that ratio, the RINOs would have to put real conservatives on commitees.  Plus, in the Senate I learned that they have term limits on their committee chairmanships, therefore if there is a RINO chairing a committee, there's a realistic prospect of him/her coming off for a conservative.

It's only a surprise to the nitwits who are AGW (the sun doesn't affect the weather on Earth!) acolytes.  They've had to repeatedly rework their predictions on the solar cycle for the last several years.  According to the CW, 24 should have been in full swing a couple of years ago.  We're in one of the quietest (most quiet?) solar periods in 250 years of observations.  No surprise that climate is winding down.

160 a "GOP majority" that is functionally indistinguishable from a donk one thanks to Juan Mccain and friends hurts the GOP nationally period.
I'd add considering that in 2008 something like 30% of the electorate 'thought' (maybe 'believed' would be more appropriate?) that the GOP still controlled both Houses due to the MFM's reporting style, what do you think the MFM would be doing to blame the GOP if they really did control both Houses, including the Senate by 1 or 2 seats?

Still, this sort of speculation will lead nowhere. We'll see in November whether both Houses are taken or just the Reps; and 'what ifs' won't change any of that one way or the other or help formulate plans to deal with either outcome.

did you see the article about I think "saudi citizens" who bought gold on the internet and it turned out not to be gold completely through and through and they knew this cause it was crumbling by the time they got it.

There was a story a while back (zerohedge maybe?) about Russian gold coins rusting.

Fap support.

235 If I were the government I would fix up Ft. Knox and I would start giving tours.  The gift shop can sell gold coins as souvenirs.  They can have you find your weight in gold.  You can have pictures with you and the gold.  They can sell "golden boy" and "golden girl" stuffed animals for you to bring back to the significant friend who was pissed that you went without them cause they had to work.  Think of the possibilities people.

The way I heard it, "You are in a 10 by 20 room.  There is a chair, table, and candle at one end and a large, wooden door at the other.  A rustling sound can be heard on the other side of the door."

241 I started to look at voter turnout in Alaska after reading a "Tea Party" story that stated it was "dismally low, at about 20 percent."  Oddly, ABC showed it at "a measly 45.1 percent."  Over at the Huffington Post, they had it at "a turnout of 54.9%."

Very odd.

Sooooo, Michelle Obama supposedly said  ‘DonÂ’t ask! ItÂ’s hell. I canÂ’t stand it!Â’ when asked about her time as First Lady so far. If the comment is in context and accurately reveals her attitude (more than likely, it does), we should remind Mrs. Obama that she doesn't have to do anything in any official capacity and pressure herself as if she has a job. The position of the First Lady is not an elected one, carries no official duties, and receives no salary. Therefore, she is free to not continue the modern voluntary traditions of First Lady. If I were to ever become the First Gentleman of the United States, it'd be impossible for me to complain about it. If I started fucking things up, I'd simply remind the press that my WIFE was elected, not me. Then I'd thoroughly enjoy chasing every single "reporter" around the White House lawn from behind the wheel of my beautiful new Z Master G3 Commercial Zero-Turn Commercial Toro lawn mower.

Of course, in order to relax and decompress from all the stress and utter hell of doing that twice a week because of my utter failure as First Gentleman, I'd have to head for the Mediterranean coast line with my best buds. Hey, there's a cause I could take up! Legalizing pot (buds made me segue into that, sorry)!

244 It does me little pumpin' gizzard good to know that Moochelle isn't happy in her lot. I am happy to inform her, it gets worse from here. Far worse. Tea, anybody?

I've got the only one, .  RushBabe would like her desk to remain somewhat intact - a sledgehammer will simply break the drawer, the Blade of Olympus will annihilate the whole desk.

246 I think the file cabinet lock designers made them so they look daunting but so that any secretary can pick the lock so she doesn't get in trouble with the idiots who locked it in the first place.

247 Make sure you check out the other clips, like Dolph Lundgren vs. Magical Unicorn (this bunch will love it!) Full disclosure, I work for Symantec, but these are just funny no matter who ya work for!

Regarding the locked cabinet. First, you should apoloigize to it. Second, you need to understand why it is locked....we have not been understanding of the problems it has had. Third, engage in a dialogue with  the locked cabinet. Promise the cabinet that if it unlocks itself, you will extend an open hand to it.

274 Aussie blogger and print editor Tim Blair has a Grand Unified Theory of Hate in which the extremists of right and left go so far out that they eventually meet behind civilization. If that's a workable theory in real life, how much more so in DC, where Dem and GOP have been suckling at the same K Street teat for so many decades.

275 Quit your bitchin about DE, you should see the probs in CO.  The gop has completely abandoned their nominee, Tan-ego is doing fundraisers with Dog the Bounty Hunter in his traitorous 3rd party run, and Taxenlooper used bogus land valuations to profit from govt and the IRS made him pay $52,000 in back taxes plus he refuses to answer questions on other ethical  stuff.

Nope, I was saying that yesterday.  There is no other person that could get O'Donnell so much coverage as Rove did.  Nor fire up the Tea Partiers so much as to dump their wallets.

yeah you'd need to go to a locksmith and get a blank...you can get a general idea based on the size of the keyhole.  In all honesty the easiest way to go unless you are keen on using the lock is to go ahead and dremel the bolt.

A locksmith would charge you maybe 30 bucks if you took the object to him probably though.
