2 Gods? Which Old Testament have you been reading

3 Is the CIA really this stupid with regard to the Muzzies or are they just lying to the House hearing?

Remember how it was folks when someone left work and anytime things went wrong after that they were always blamed for it?

Well it works that way in politics as well. Here we have a bunch of lying weasels blaming Gov Mark Sanford for “higher than expected” deficits in healthcare for the “poor”. This after they vetoed and blocked efforts by him to cut some of those payments.

Since Sanford is out of office and his political career is now effectively dead I would like to see him come back and lay into these lying assholes with both barrels. Hell, but even if he did we would never hear about it from the lying weasels in the press we have here.

 And here in a different paper Nikki Haley is calling on them to release their death grip on that same agency so she can cut the growing deficit.

 Unlike most States, the SC governor doesnÂ’t have much power over these individual agencies. A legacy of the Pitchfork Ben Tillman era, the SC legislature controls most of these departments through individual committees. SC is in major need of government overhaul but it will never happen.

6 Vic, can't it be both? (It isn't like we have had decades and billions to do research or anything...right?)

7 Vic, can't it be both?

Hell, you would think they would know more about the Muslim Brotherhood than the average AOS Moron so I go for liars.

8 Judging from my experience w/ some researchers--not necessarily. One of my good buddies is a MB expert. Not on the "inside" though.

9 I don't want to talk about why I don't want to talk about it.-Prez. Obumbuls

10 SC Legislators talking about changing concealed carry law to allow without a permit. Of course it has the usual enemies - Democrats

11 How long will this lying adm maintain there is no inflation even in the face of their own PR rags issuing stories like this?

12 I let something slip by last night (really, I don't do that often -- or that's what I told her). That GE engine that the House rejected? The impact will not be in Connecticut, you silly rubes. The GE turbine yard is just north of Cincinnati, where they used to make the "greasy old HOR." (ex-Navy experts on everything, you may explain the moniker).

Now, I met a couple of members of that division's founding family, and they were fine citizens and suitably humbled by the BLH implosion (yeah, I know, I'm talking ancient history to mostayaz -- but it was a BFD). And there are some excellent engineers at GE Jets, honest. But how the hell you lose a gravy contract when your CEO is  literally living in the White House...that right there is a comment on Change being Good.

Now, if GE just happens to sell stealth-compatible engines to China, we blame Congress, right? Or do you reckon the fix is already in? Or am I the rube for assuming they hadn't already set up the deal, and outsourced the parts?

13 Damn you Christie, you heard OUR PRESIDENT, he doesn't want to talk about it!!!!!! the MFM

14 ..yeah christian gods so much better.......you aren't responsible for anything... you got a jew to die for ALL YOUR SINS EVERYTHING kill a jew.....have no responsibility for your repulsive behaviors

15 Age of Conan...old Gods crackin heads. Now where the hells my coffee? This morning crap sucks!

16 I much appreciated the information last night that GE and China had signed an agreement in 2009 to work towards high speed rail in the US.   It makes the high speed rail thing a little easier to understand. 

17 LOL, They just asked Juan Williams if he was OK with cutting budget to NPR.

He said sure.

18 Vic,  that was pretty funny.  He pointed out that if you are going to only promote one point of view,  you shouldn't get government money.

He was right there with the GOP gal,  who said they should fund themselves. 

19 Just say Michele Bachmann on a Stuffynopolous interview. I could vote for her.

This happened.

Crazy Lawrence O'Donnell told Jason Chaffetz, R-UT, that he was going to report him to the IRS for sleeping in his office.

21

The private sector has been weeding out mediocrity, retaining and hiring only the best and the brightest, who will give them the biggest bangs for their bucks.

It's gotten to be that the only jobs left for mediocre people are President Of The United States,  Secretary Of State and Attorney General. Guaranteed job security.

22

The two public-union telephone operators at my public college are considered "essential personnel" in the case of a state of emergency.

There's job security for the mediocre, all right.

23

Lookout, we've been ratted out here boys - again.

A lot of the Morons have been griping about the possibility of the House weaseling out on the needed budget cuts.

We had better be worried about the squishy Senate. Now they are proposing yet another "Bi-Partisan" bill to raise taxes.

I say any bill with Dick-Head Durbin as a sponsor is shit, and any Republican who sides with him needs to be primaried.

I also say the House needs to continue with the individual budget bill scenario and screw the squishies in the Senate and the commie in the WH.

24

House grilling FCC on illegal net neutrality regulations

No mention in this article about the adverse court ruling that the FCC ignored. Don't know if that is because the House ignored it, or if the newspaper just omitted it.

I am praying that the court case moves rapidly and that the judges are pissed. (yes, there is yet another court case in progress)

25 Good news !  U.S. to join UN rebuke of Israel over settlement expansions. 

More of that special treatment for our especially special allies, I guess.  Thanks, Barry !

Jeez, what does it take to get struck by lightening these days?

26 In Exile,

you missed Baal in the OT (that showdown of prophet v. priests is worth remembering), and the Hebrew Exodus Golden Calf crafted with Aaron's leadership while Moses was gone to commune with God?

27  #25 highlights:

In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel in Security Council
By Colum Lynch
Susan E. Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations,
The United States has been isolated in the 15-nation council.
breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements.
U.S. concession comes as the Middle East is facing a massive wave of popular demonstrations,
a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.
But the Palestinians rejected the American offer to rebuke Israel following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday,

28 With allies like us........

29 going to report him to the IRS for sleeping in his congressional office.

Jason Chaffetz, R-UT, isn't the first nor will he be the last to maintain sleeping quarters in his congressional office. When he first set up camp in his office, he got plenty of national media attention broadcasting his frugality while the Democrats monopolized the Oval Office, Senate and House. So this much to do about nothing from Lawrence O'Donnell should simply direct public attention to target O'Donnell's financial records if we want some bang for the buck of investigations.

btw, what if any genealogical relationship exists between Lawrence and Christine? Aside from the name, they share crazy.

30 Just say Michele Bachmann on a Stuffynopolous interview. I could vote for her.

Gods? Which Old Testament have you been reading

Molech.  You know, those guys.

33 It will be a miracle if we have ANY allies left after Obumbles leaves office.

And how about the MFM. They never failed to mention about how the evil Bush was alienating Europe and they played up how Obama would bring them all back in the fold.

So far the only ones Obama has "played up to" are the muzzies and they really don't give a shit if he kisses their ass or not, they will still hate us. And he has pissed off every other ally we have.

34 Does anyone here really believe Michelle's claim that Barack has quit smoking?  She'd have to lie about it, what with her sticking her nose into everyone else's health business.  I'm sure she was getting complaints of being a hypocrite.

35 Actually computers and government have much  in common: books full of rules for each, neither has any mercy, and both completely lack common sense. When you combine the two you have a recipe for potential disaster. The good news is that computers are way too complex a tool for government bureaucrats to use efficiently.

36 Does anyone here really believe Michelle's claim that Barack has quit smoking?

No.  In the same interview (on Gayle King's show, natch) she also claimed he doesn't color his hair, and that it only varies from looking really gray to really brown due to lighting.

37 Personally I don't give a shit that he smokes. As for Michelle lying about it, so what? they lie about everything.

What needs to happen with MO, and ALL first-ladies, is that they be made into a non-status. They are not elected and they have zero buisness in any political position. They should get zero public funding and the only assistence they get should be secret service but only while they have a husband in the WH.

And that will go the same way if a lady gets elected for the "first husband".

38 Al Gore is a galloping ignoramus and Bill O'Reilly chooses to be his horse..

39 btw, it was as I thought in Egypt. American journalists were seen as enemy spies, and the attacks on the American reporters came variously from each interest group within the crowds. I criticized Panetta's statement to Congress that made clear the merge of the media with the CIA. That CIA Director's statement was an invitation for media reporters to be arrested and at the mercy of foreign governments.

The Egyptian Army had days previously detained and interrogated Lara Logan and American journalists, telling them they were considered spies and being tracked by the Army.

Logan's choice to remain and continue in Egypt was daring the devil. Furthermore, American and Western media sending women to report from within the Islamic countries was always a testy policy of the international media complex. Also, it isn't as if journalists should ignore the adage, "when in Rome". During revolutions, it is foolishly provocative, acting as if you are untouchable in crowds that defy constitution, police, parliament, and president.

Again, we don't need to offer female martyrs as sacrifices to be victimized by Muslims. Logan's attack is not galvanizing the American Left to decry Muslim misogyny. And conservatives already knew what to expect. While Mubarak or even while Hussein were in control, American women (journalists, diplomats or otherwise employed by the US Government or businesses in league with strongman countries like Iraq, Egypt, or Libya) were not accosted, let alone physically attacked. The perpetrator would have been killed for acting without leave. So the media moguls are ultimately responsible for assigning Logan specifically to the Egyptian scene, and not pulling her from it after the Egyptian Army made perfectly clear that she and any American journalist was considered to be a spy. And the Egyptian Army IS the Egyptian Government now for six months at least.

40 Bachmann is a hypocrite.

Farm welfare(via subsidy) = great!

Welfare (via govt' programs to the poor)=ruination of our country.

How anyone (aside from a farmer, I guess) could support such a hypocrite is beyond me.

She's a welfare queen of a welfare family, as much as any inner-city single mom with five kids on rent subsidy, WIC and SNAP.

She's just wears better clothes.

Iran's man in Ecuador
Foreign Policy
By José R. Cárdenas

Last October, Ambassador Roger Noriega, former Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere during the George W. Bush Administration, exposed Hugo Chávez's efforts to aid and abet Iran's illegal nuclear weapons program, including its efforts to obtain strategic minerals such as uranium and to evade international sanctions.

Documentary evidence now suggests that Hugo Chavez's junior partner in Ecuador, Rafael Correa, is apparently forging his own dangerous alliance with the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regime, raising troubling questions about whether Iran continues to expand its global efforts to obtain uranium and other strategic minerals that are critical to Teheran's rogue nuclear program. Iran and Ecuador have concluded a $30 million deal (finalized Dec.2009) to conduct joint mining projects in Ecuador that appears to lay the groundwork for future extractive activities. The U.S. government obviously is aware of Iran's provocative activities in our own neighborhood. As far back as 2006, according to a U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks, State Department officers were asking all the right questions about Venezuela's uranium riches.  Unfortunately, U.S. diplomats either have failed to monitor Iran's suspect mining activities in the Western Hemisphere or have failed to connect the dots about the dangerous game being played by Iran and co-conspirators in Venezuela and Ecuador.

President Obama has an excellent opportunity to turn this situation around and raise the issue of Iranian activities in Ecuador and Venezuela when he visits the region next month. If the administration fails to act on its own accord, the U.S. Congress must press for more effective measures to investigate whether Iran, Venezuela, Ecuador, and any other nation may be violating United Nations sanctions. Presidents Correa and Hugo Chávez are knee-jerk enemies of the United States. However, if their actions are found to constitute a threat to international peace and security, they must be made to pay the price.   

43 What happened in Egypt probably won't be repeated in Bahrain:

Army locks down Bahrain, police storm protest

44 Bachmann is a hypocrite.
Farm welfare(via subsidy) = great!

Align adversaries against agribusiness subsidies. Be certain that the Tea Party Caucus platform not condone the policy of subsidies for anything in order for Americans to keep their income rather than have it absconded by big government to further augment big business that has mutated into globalist industry with NO ALLEGIANCE TO THE USA.

If/when she promotes agribusiness subsidies, hit her harder and harder on what would be an obvious special interest of her donors. Let her represent her constituents without empowering them via socialist spreading of the wealth, particularly when squandered on international globalist authoritarian monopolies of power.

Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- More Americans than projected filed first-time claims for unemployment insurance last week, a sign the improvement in the labor market will take time to develop.

Applications for jobless benefits increased by 25,000 to 410,000 in the week ended Feb. 12, exceeding the 400,000 median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News, Labor Department figures showed today.

 

How can this be? Why just last week the MFM was crowing that economy was doing just great because of the rigged unemployment number of 9%.

Feb. 17 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stock futures retreated, signaling the Standard & PoorÂ’s 500 Index may slip from a 32- month high, after the cost of living climbed more than forecast in January and jobless claims topped economistsÂ’ estimates.

 

The cost of living and unemployment are up. Yes Barry, you've got the car out of the ditch alright and you've driven to the late 70s.

54 Well, I feel better now.  John Effing Kerry in on the case.

Sorry about your allergies, but lucky you for the blooming flowers.  I was told the other day by a local that "winter is over" only to have a big wind and snow storm blow in yesterday.  Accumulation wasn't much, but boy was it a heck of a storm, complete with thunder and lightning. 

Last year there was a snow storm (with accumulation) in mid-May, as I recall.  Eeek!

How's your hubby, MamaAJ (he'd had a health scare a little while ago... or am I confusing you with another moronette)?

According to the AP news breaks last night on the Sirius Patriot channel, the defunding of the jet engine was a "huge win" for Obama.

81 Exclusive: Berlusconi's Ruby wants compensation

Rome(AP) -- The Moroccan teenager at the center of a prostitution scandal that has sent Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi to trial says she has done nothing wrong and that "all the gold in the world would not be enough" to compensate her for the hurt she has suffered.

In an email exchange with The Associated Press, the woman nicknamed Ruby Rubacuori (Ruby the Heart-Stealer) lamented that she has been "treated as a prostitute by all the Italian and foreign media."

Now 18, she demanded €15,000 ($20,340) for a full TV interview with the AP but the non-profit media organization does not pay for interviews.

Oh Ruby ... don't take your love to town!

Good story at Boston Herald (linked by Drudge) about CBS's attempt to downplay the Lara Logan sexual assault story:

Extended excerpt:

Having 200 "good guys" gang assault a female reporter while screaming "Jew! Jew!" doesnÂ’t fit the narrative. Is that why CBS sat on the story?

Or is it the cultural issue? A rape in a bar is a sex crime. But a pack of political protesters who rape a "Jew" in public is a story about culture.

Rapes happen everywhere, itÂ’s true. And political protests are a global phenomenon, too. But as Slate.comÂ’s Rachel Larimore says, "thereÂ’s a huge difference between flipping over a truck and spraying friends with beer and prying a woman away from her security detail and sexually assaulting her."

Larimore wonders if "Logan's attack [is] an anomaly, or is it to be expected from men raised in a culture that treats women as lesser citizens?"

I would point her to the 2008 broadcast on the Al-Aribiya network of a female(!) lawyer arguing that it's OK for Muslim men to sexually assault Israeli women, because the Jews have "raped the land." Or this week's story of Hena, the 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl raped by a family member, then sentenced to 100 lashes by Muslim authorities for having sex out of wedlock. After 80 lashes, Hena died.

There are stories like this — and Logan's — every week, all with the same cultural denominator.

83 Can anyone tell me who is the freaky looking chick in the "banks forced to forgive credit card debt" ad in the sidebar? I know I've seen her in a movie or something, but I can't remember and it's driving me nuts!

Were I in the congressman's shoes, I'd be thinking "fine this smiling fool two years' salary and give him a sixty-day inspection tour of PMITA prison -- reduced by half if he names the idiot who came up with the idea of dropping this turd in our lap."
