— Ace I assume he won't take questions as usual. He just dropped the Truth Bomb that, get this, Republicans are refusing to sign off on the two-month payroll tax cut reduction in order to wring concessions out of Democrats on "extraneous matters."
Extraneous, like the Keystone XL pipeline. Things that really create jobs.

Obama and Reid are incompetent. As Casey Stengel said, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
The Democrats thought they had the Republicans in Congress cornered, with the GOP seeming to stand in the way of the payroll tax extension.
Turns out that was exactly the briar patch Br'er Boehner was born in. He came back with a full-year extension of the payroll tax cut -- tied to the Keystone XL pipeline project favored by 60% of voters.
Reid and the Senate Democrats caved partway by agreeing to Keystone and just a two-month extension. And that set them up for complete failure: now it's the DEMOCRATS who are blocking the payroll tax extension for the full year.
Br'er Boehner can laugh and laugh at Br'er Obama and Br'er Reid, because they now have to cave fully to the House's demands, or be the ones who cost the American worker his precious payroll tax cut. If Obama and Reid hadn't demogogued the payroll tax cut so hard and made it the litmus test for caring about the American worker, they wouldn't be stuck in this place.

Mitch McConnell has no interest in small-government, nor do I think he ever really claimed to have such an interest. Many of our Senators are there because people voted for the "R" believing that winning seats was greater than electing people who actually will pursue conservative policies.
This is the downside to that strategy - the GOP in the House holding a bi-partisan bag of shit.

Well we know that Chiquita brands now deals in watermelon instead of bananas
ForestEthics, a nonprofit that works to protect endangered forests in the United States and Canada, said Thursday that Chiquita agreed to stop using fuel derived from oil sands, often called “tar sands” by environmental groups, to ship its bananas.
That is the stupidest statement I have heard since the last time Obama opened his pie-hole. Just how in the hell do they “filter” out the gasoline from oil sands vs other? And what in the hell is an “endangered forest”? There are more acres covered in forest now than there was at the turn of the 20th century in 1900.
So who is ForestEthics? From their web site:
ForestEthics is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1999. In Canada, ForestEthics is a project of Tides Canada Initiatives who have full governing, legal, and fiduciary responsibility for the project.
Tides huh, I hope everyone knows who that is. Direct link to commie Soros. But they are protecting us from AGW.
That speaks volumes as to why Obama wants to block it.

Sheesh.
Saying he's the only guy who can beat Obama is saying that conservatism is dead, which 2010 proves is not true.
We're also seeing that the legislature is not enough. They can only do so much, because the executive is so much more important than it was originally meant to be. That's where the budget originates now... it should be the House, but the president is required by law to submit the budget.
Stupid. But stupid doesn't mean it isn't real. We need a president who will not split the baby with the democrats on whatever is in controversy, because he thinks triangulation is super clever. We need that budget to start at the conservative POV because it will inevitably move left from there. Everything always moves left.

Mittens will straighten McConnell out.
Him and John Boehner will go over the McConnell's office, and McConnell will hold Boehner down while Mittens abuses him with a live mackerel until he surrenders and agrees to try to force the House GOP to cave for the Senate bill.
That will straighten that McConnell out.

The "super-committee" was a joint select committee; this is a conference committee.
conference committee - A temporary, ad hoc panel composed of House and Senate conferees which is formed for the purpose of reconciling differences in legislation that has passed both chambers.

Watching some of Romney yesterday, I realized all three front-runners have something seriously disturbing about them. Ron Paul - pick anything regarding foriegn policy. Newt - WTF was that fascist bit about judges? Romney - has no apparent problem with the mandate. Of the three, Romney actually sounds the least scary - he described ObamaCare as a program that should be repealed - because it's too expensive. That may be the least principled reason, but I suppose if he went some other route he'd be criticizing himself.
So no wonder King Putt thinks he's #4 - it has to be tough to be way, way worse than these guys.

Announcing a menu expansion for BBQ Rat On a Stick franchisees. Our test kitchen has innovated and created a new product that will drive traffic and boost profits (for the state, of course). Extensively tested with focus groups of comrades plucked from curbs and doorways, we are very proud to roll out:
McHamsterRib sandwich
2/10ths of an ounce of tender, succulent HamsterRib slow cooked over a sterno can for 8 minutes, smothered in tangy sauce and served on a 35% sawdust roll.
Coming soon, related product extensions like GerbilBites and Guineapig DoubleDown.

Rules of the House. If you say something "defamatory" they have a right as a point of order to reject- you can then voluntarily have it struck from the record (which is what most of them do) or let it stand. If you let it stand, the House MUST vote on a resolution to condemn (not sure of the technical term). If it passes, the comment is struck from the record, and you are barred from making any more floor comments for... a period of time. The rest of the day, I think.
So all this means is that he said it, some Democrat took offense, and he didn't withdraw it. I say good for him.

They will, or they have? If they table it, that's probably good- it means it won't come up for vote until the end of the day's session (as I understand it) and then only if they have time.
If he's savvy (and, by all accounts he is) he'll move to dismiss just before they take that vote. A move to dismiss requires an immediate up-or-down vote.

It doesn't have to be an overt alliance, but we should at least have very good relations with India because of the growing strength of the Chinese and also because of Pakistan.
There should be few cautionary tales to such a relationship, as the Indians were allied with the USSR during the Cold War and the Indians have a good working relationship with the Russians (for military hardware, among other things).

The so-called "Doc Fix." Doctors are about to take a 27% haircut on Medicare claims.
I've been through this twice in my career and it's why I won't take Medicaid/Medicare. Both times I've had about $30K in outstanding claims "adjusted" to a new fee schedule AFTER the work was done and claims filed. Theft by any other name.....is still theft.
I do a small amount of charity and volunteer work these days, but I'll never let another politician take credit for it when I do.

Surprising precisely no one (except maybe the Occu-tards), only Medicare (and maybe Medicaid) is allowed to do this. Anyone else who adjusts the fees has to give notice something like 90 - 180 days before the change takes effect, and claims received after the change, but performed prior, have to be processed at the previous rate.

Maybe you have some insight into the politics there, but from the little I've read, they'd rather be perceived as neutral in all things to allow them to shift and move as unstable situations become even more unstable.

Rubio joined the majority of his Senate colleagues in support of the bill. His spokesman said Monday he stands by the plan.
"Look I’m always in favor of longer-term permanent solutions, but this is as far we could get on their side," Rubio told NBC Friday night. "On the other hand, I think we have a pretty stable solution when it comes to the issue of the pipeline, and hopefully the president will make the right decision that it's in our national interest.”Posted by: ChristyBlinky at December 20, 2011 03:08 PM (baL2B)
