— rdbrewer A done deal? From NRO:
In other House Republican news, a leadership aide associates himself with the accuracy of this Roll Call story:House Republican leaders have agreed to a key conservative demand that they make good on their campaign pledge to reduce fiscal 2011 spending to $100 billion less than President Barack Obama’s budget request, GOP aides said Wednesday.According to a GOP leadership aide, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and other leaders are working with Republican appropriators, the Republican Study Committee and other conservatives on a “unified” strategy to reduce spending beyond the $74 billion in cuts they had already planned. The cuts, which would only apply to non-defense discretionary spending, would come as part of a continuing resolution to fund the government between March and the end of the fiscal year.
. . .
It remains unclear how Republicans will make the additional $26 billion in cuts. Cantor has reportedly directed appropriators to stay on schedule and introduce their CR on Thursday. Because Republicans are still hashing out their strategy, it appears unlikely the additional cuts would be included in the bill, and a second aide suggested they could come in the form of an amendment.
It is also unclear whether the cuts will be made across the board or whether certain areas would be targeted for deeper cuts.
This is a big early win for new Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Jordan. Oddly, it may be one for his fellow Ohioan, John Boehner early in his speakership, too.
Thanks to Miss'80sBaby.

Nickless and Logprof, I asked ace about you two today on a thread and he said he was going to unban you and sorry to you both for the delay. I think unbanning requires him to notify Pixy of your IP's and then Pixy does it...when Pixy gets around to it. But ace is aware of it.

(1) Jordan and Flake always said they would offer amendments to get to $100B, and both said they would easily pass.
(2) Paul Ryan said his own proposal cut too little and that he wanted more.
(3) This "dire crisis" was over in an incredible fast amount of time and Cantor was already directing appropriators before the ink was drying on the Roll Call article.
(4) Boehner's had an awful week and needed to shore-up his credibility.

Talk about bait and switch. They promised 100B in actual fucking cuts, not cuts from an inflated budget request. If Barack requested 11T in spending, 100B in cuts would still result in MORE SPENDING.

Well, it looks like the WON has pissed off the Saudis, now. Man, that bowing and scraping really worked out well.
Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually.

In Islam, those who are the most devout are also, frequently, the most barbaric. It is inconceivable that leaders of any other religion would order a fourteen-year-old rape victim to be whipped to death. Whether Islam can be modernized and reformed is far from clear. Certainly, it can't be reformed by non-Muslims. The central issue of our time is whether sane Muslims have the will and the ability to reform their religion and make it a force for good; and if not, what the rest of us should do about it.
They can't even begin to become civilized while they are still afraid of their own urges or angry at their own urges when they see a woman. As long as they keep them covered up, out of school, and separated they will have a viseral reaction everytime they lay eyes on one. In turn they blame the woman and abuse her. It's sick, it's twisted, and they will never have the civilizing influence--they will always be a poor excuse, a filthy debauched excuse for a lord of the flies type insane, brutal culture if they can't get a hold of this basic idea.

"I have a feeling she has some demands on her time. And a lot of them have financial benefits attached to them. So I'm sure that she's doing what's best for her and her family," Santorum said about Palin's notable absence from CPAC, the annual conference beginning Thursday in Washington, D.C.Asked whether he would have turned down the invitation, Santorum said "no," and explained why.
"I don't live in Alaska. And I'm not the mother to all these kids," Santorum, who is the father of seven. said. Palin has five children. "And I don't have other responsibilities, like she has, other opportunities that she has. Other business opportunities that may be in conflict with what she's been asked to do."

I'm not sure why those assholes think they have to prove their cred by taking shots at Sarah.
I don't know. Seems like they would be on the same side with a lot to agree about.

Yeah, she just answered a question. And, Santorum has 7 kids. I guess it's okay for his wife to stay home and take care of their kids, so he can go anywhere he wants, but Sarah needs to take care of her five, 'cause Todd can't do it, right?
Double standard. Know the definition?

A 100Billion cut from Obama's proposed budget? WTF is that? If he submits a 10 trillion dollar budget, the Republicans would 'only' allow a 9.9 trillion budget?
Screw that. 100 billion from the 2000 budget would be a good START.

For the moment, however, it is unclear how Republicans will enact the cuts. “There have been differences of opinion expressed as to whether we should do programmatic cuts or across-the-board cuts,” Foxx acknowledges.
But Ryan’s numbers, Foxx says, are by no means a final product. “I do not know where Paul’s numbers came from,” she replies, when asked whether Ryan’s budget was set by the leadership. “I can’t explain to you why there is a difference between what Paul brought up last week and what the number will be when the continuing resolution comes up.” The numbers, she says, are fluid, with much debate to come within the caucus.

in other words, there's blood in the water, it's open war between cutters and spenders, hopefully the forces of good will win, but i'm not convinced of it

confusion is the order of the day in the middle of a fight, things won't settle until there's a winner
