Senate GOP Blocks Obama's $60 Billion Infrastructure Plan

At least thatÂ’s the headline.

Republicans in the Senate Thursday dealt President Obama the third in a string of defeats on his stimulus-style jobs agenda, blocking a $60 billion measure for building and repairing infrastructure like roads and rail line

Why does anyone pretend that this was nothing more than a PR gimmick for the 2012 elections? Also when a single Republican votes for/or against a bill it is ‘bipartisan”, or at a minimum “largely along party lines”.  There were two Dems who voted against this POS.  He has already got 3 “stimulus” bills and all have been totally wasted on socialist projects and unions.

Mississippi to vote on eminent domain law

Be careful folks there. After the infamous Kelo misreading of the law there was a flurry of new State laws enacted supposedly to protect from eminent domain abuse. Some were false flag operations that actually made it easier for local government to seize land. And be careful on how they word the payment portion. “Fair market value” turns out to be $15,000 for beach-front property on Long Island.

Standby American Taxpayer. Yet another bailout of Europe and guess who pays for it.

This is the same damn thing we are doing with the housing market and the auto companies. They need to let these countries go down so they can start the road to recovery. I would like to know how they can do this shit without an authorization by Congress. I recall a little statement in the Constitution about how no money will be spent w/o authorization. Of course, this adm uses the Constitution to wipe its ass with, and Congress isnÂ’t much better.

SC State retired employees take a hit, or so says the headline from the Dem PR rag

From the headline you would think they are getting a pay cut. Read the story and find out they are only losing part of a COL increase. Only to a Democrat is a reduction in the rate of increase a cut. This is what CA needs to do but this is the difference between a union work force and non-union. Also, keep in mind that SC public workers do not get paid huge sums of money when they retire (unless they are a college football coach).

And finally:

donÂ’t forget tomorrow is Sadie Hawkins day so remember these folks from 1959

Even if you listen to just the first 20 minutes of each, you will be whistling a different tune. As far as Cain's qualities as a candidate or as potentially president, that's another story. But he is being lynched.

I actually thought all this stuff - the latest stuff - was BS until hearing Cain respond to it. Meh. I'd already decided he wasn't fit to be president from some of his earlier verbal creativity and cluelessness about various things. All the current mess is doing is keeping everyone from actually focusing on picking the best guy to knock off President Petulant next fall. The Cain stuff will play out; there will either be something to it or not; and, he'll handle it badly either way.

24 This may be a "lynching" of Cain, it may not be, but one damn thing is for sure. He has flubbed the response to it big time.

The accusation against Perry w/o any evidence what-so-ever was a major flub on the same order as Bachmann's Tardacil response which ultimately killed her in the polls.

I am sure we will get some more revelations today and I am sure ace will do two or three more posts.

I fully expect Cain to drop in the polls by next week which isn't too far away. As I said yesterday, Cain has no actual record so he depends heavily on his word and integrity. This will cause him to lose that.

And if Cain somehow did become the candidate and became president, that would be an improvement of tremendous proportions to the Occupy White House leader we have now.

Well, after hearing Cain respond to this, I pretty sure *something* happened, but it's probably a lot less than everyone is imagining it might be. Probably something of the magnitude that it would never get mentioned if it was a Dem in question. The damage to Cain will have been done by his response, not the original whatever it was.

Oh, sure Cain would be better than the Dipstick-in-Chief, by miles and miles, but I think we can do better than just "better than that loser"...that's a terribly low bar to set...we better hope we get someone better anyway, as much damage as there is to be undone.

The longer this GOP mess of a non-campaign campaign goes on, the more irritated I get with all the Republicans who *didn't* run this time around. I know some of them, even most of them, had legitimate reasons for not running, but sometimes your country needs you to put it first, and if there ever was an election when we needed a good solid candidate - not a Reagan, just someone solid - this one is it. I'm not sure we have one like that running at the moment.

Posted by: davidinvirginia at November 04, 2011 03:20 AM (haFNK)

32 Well, there seems to be a couple of issues at play; first, the charges against Cain and his reaction to them. Unless and until the accusers come forward and name names, places and incidents in detail, it's bullshit. Cain's reaction is another matter. Again, whatever one feels personally about him, you have to stand with him as a candidate and a Republican UNTIL it is proven what happened and what he said about it. If it's revealed he harassed or abused anyone, I will dump him. Again, until then, fuck Politico and the MFM for the hypocrisy and racism. Fuck them in any case for that.

33 Got a Cain fundraising email from Townhall today, which is also connected to HotAir. This seems inappropriate. My understanding is that most of the banner ads on blogs are run by third parties, and I am fine with seeing ads there. I am also fine with the ads running on Rush and Hannity because those are not part of the program. However, the Townhall email is put out in the name of Townhall spotlight, and it gives the strong appearance of endorsement. It also does not contain the standard language disclaiming endorsement. Bad optics, really bad optics to me.

Condolences to you; I know how bad it feels to do it but trust me, your dog being humanely put to sleep while surrounded by family members that loved him or her is the best thing to do.  I've told people here before that I'm haunted by the death of an airedale we had that had a lingering intestinal disorder and she was wasting away.  Rather than put her down the vet talked me into doing exploratory surgery and she died as soon as they administered the anesthetic.  She was a pound dog who had been abused and the thought of her dying while surrounded by strangers and afraid still bothers me today.

I  don't know. There's a pile of 16-18 boys who, by this age, should have reached puberty at my son's high school (known for its drama and music programs, barf) who look similar and flit around in metallic boat shoes. I'm starting to wonder, evolutionarily, if the girls are starting puberty earlier and the boys not at all.

 I saw a girl in the school uniform in Panera who, not really fat, could have been nose tackle or defensive end. By feminizing the species are we starting to make them look alike, like hamsters? When the girls look like they can hunt bear with a switch and the boys look like Justin Beaver (as my son calls him), I don't know.

63 Debate in Israel

Netanyahu believes the heads of the Mossad and Shin Bet may have leaked his plans for attack of Iran. Both former heads of the Israeli intelligence agencies, Dagan and Diskin oppose military action against Iran unless all other options – primarily international diplomatic pressure and perhaps sabotage — have been exhausted. In January the recently retired Dagan, a Mossad Hawk, called an attack on Iran "the stupidest idea I've ever heard". Also, officials running Israel's military and intelligence services were opposed to a war with Iran. Opposition attacks Netanyahu for "adventurism" and "gambling with Israel's national interest."  "It seems that only Netanyahu and Barak know, and maybe even they haven't decided. While many people say Netanyahu and Barak are conducting sophisticated psychological warfare and don't intend to launch a military operation, top officials Â… are still afraid," commented Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff. "Binyamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak are the Siamese twins of the Iranian issue. There are some who describe Netanyahu's fervour on this subject as an obsession: all his life he's dreamed of being Churchill. Iran gives him the chance."

Morning, all!

To paraphrase Moose Obama:  for the first time in my life, I'm proud of the French.

A French satirical weekly whose office was fire bombed after it printed a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad has reproduced the image with other caricatures in a special supplement distributed with one of the countryÂ’s leading newspapers.

The weekly Charlie Hebdo defended “the freedom to poke fun” in the four-page supplement, which was wrapped around copies of the left-wing daily Liberation on Thursday, a day after an arson attack gutted Charlie Hebdo’s Paris headquarters.

“It was pretty funny.

We just send you to protest.Â’

“Staff said, ‘Yes, you pay us to carry signs.’ Then Jonathan says, ‘That’s your job.’ It went on like that back and forth for a while.”

75 this is off topic.  Some one named "joe pags" is subbing for glenn beck today, the one day in a long while I can actually listen to beck and he isn't there.  Anyway, he's talking about a tape of a judge beating his kid.   Is there anyone who can tell me where I can see this tape.   I thought beating on your kid was a no no in today's society?

Isn't that "lib speak"?  they don't want anyone to be able to say "they are paying the protesters" so they are trying to make it clear to the protesters that even though they are protesting and being paid they are not "pad protesters".  They probably want to make sure they can lie under oath "no we didn't pay protesters we paid our employees to carry signs and attend".  Parsing par excellance, it's the lib way!

Sorry to hear this.

But, when you're ready, honor your old friend's memory by adopting a pup from a shelter and giving it the opportunity to have a great life. It's the best legacy ever.

(Bloomberg) - U.S. employment climbed in October at the slowest pace in four months, illustrating the “frustratingly slow” progress cited by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke this week.

The 80,000 increase in payrolls was less than forecast and followed gains in the prior two months that were revised up by 102,000, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The unemployment rate fell to a six-month low of 9 percent from 9.1 percent even as the labor force expanded.

One of my friends just lost her dog and she was a total mess.  Even though she's a real lib lib, I decided to buy mark levin's book about his dog for her.   At first she didn't want to read it cause he's a conservative but she finally read it and it really helped her a lot.  I haven't read it but she said for her it was "therapy in this gem of a book".  She taught me that her dog was every bit a member of her family, I'm so sorry you are going through this great loss.

I  don't know. There's a pile of 16-18 boys who, by this age, should have reached puberty at my son's high school (known for its drama and music programs, barf) who look similar and flit around in metallic boat shoes. I'm starting to wonder, evolutionarily, if the girls are starting puberty earlier and the boys not at all.

 I saw a girl in the school uniform in Panera who, not really fat, could have been nose tackle or defensive end. By feminizing the species are we starting to make them look alike, like hamsters? When the girls look like they can hunt bear with a switch and the boys look like Justin Beaver (as my son calls him), I don't know.


This is the direct result of the feminist agenda being run in elementary schools where male values are held up as evil and female values are taught as the right way to do things. This does enormous damage to the male psyche. Most feminist women - instead of advancing themselves -  attempt to advance  by tearing men down. This results in a society of torn down men and women who are no better off than they started  - and only look stronger by comparison.

It is a core feminist belief that male brains and female brains are identical, and that any differences are cultural. I would like to point out that only women or emotionally castrated males believe that. It is obvious to any other male that female brains are very different from male brains. I saw a science program on TV where some feminist scientists were going to prove their identical brain thesis by studying the behavior of infant baboons. Much to their horror the female baboons liked playing with dollies and the male baboons preferred blocks, hammers, and toy cars. At the end of the show one of the scientists said: "We were just wrong." To which the average man can only say "Duh".

Not many people realize it but South Vietnam was a matriarchal society - and as such a perfect example of the end result of feminism . The men were barely recognizable as men because they were so beaten down emotionally. They were horrible fighters who couldn't protect their country. The South Vietnamese women were stunned by the American soldiers - they had forgotten what actual men looked like. South Vietnam suffered the fate of all matriarchal societies; they were conquered by the patriarchal North Vietnam. There is simply something in women that wants to be conquered.

89 US seeking to 'occupy' Mideast
Since Obama announced the troop pullout last month, Al-Sadr noted the Pentagon's recent reminders preparing to boost the number of U.S. forces just across the Iraqi border in Kuwait and across the region, that it will keep an estimated 40,000 troops there. America is not only occupying Iraq but also other Islamic countries. Occupying Iraq means occupying what is around Iraq to control the Middle East.

Vicious cycle. Nothing new about the practice. But given new targets, new victims, new damage. Everyone giving themselves an entitlement "deserve" break doesn't help, either, given that our culture is no longer "fair" Americana rule of law but Alinsky's playground.

Wow, that's a "holiday" I always forget about.  I never went in for dances and such (can't even remember if I went to my HS's Sadie Hawkins day dance), but I guess I should love that holiday.  Twenty-eight years ago last month I planted a kiss on the future Mr Y-not.  We were engaged a month later (and, yes, I asked him) and married by the following August.

I don't even care if Herman did harass women 15 years ago.  I just.  don't. care.  So-called sexual harassment is a non-crime AFAI concerned. 

What I do care about is that he keeps pouring gasoline on this story.

It's troubling.  How does a guy survive for decades at the top of the business world when he can't handle this kind of shit at all?


Well, if you are an honest businessmen (not a Solyndra type) - you deal with facts, truth, numbers and reality. That doesn't give you any training for dealing with lies and slander. People who deal well with lies and slander generally have a great deal of experience with the subject. That is why we keep winding up with congenital liars in politics.

Also, aren't there rules about who can conduct fundraising and don't the Townhall crew have press passes?

If you lose your sight a dog can fill the void. If you lose a child or a parent a dog can fill the void. Lose your legs a dog can help fill the loss of mobility..lose a person or an object a dog can help find it. But when you lose a dog...nothing else can fill the void. It's a dog shaped hole...


 and can only be filled by another dog.

While it is very sad that we outlive our dogs...sadder still is what it would be like if  it was the other way around. Get a pup.JT

Interesting. The local TV station just did a piece on the Occupy Oakland riots showing broken windows and other vandalism to private and government property explaining how much it was going to cost the broke-ass city to repair it. They also detailed how businesses were leaving downtown Oakland and one decided against opening an office in Oakland because of the riots. They also mentioned the massive police overtime bill.

In case there was any question, ALL of the TV stations in this area lean left. Could this be a thing?
