What you're not allowed to have any "personal work." Serve the masses man!
In any case, this is likely a good thing because it means I won't be so distracted as not to get my own work done.

Forget the birther nonsense, etc. Former Intelligence Committee staffer and author Angelo Codevilla establishes that Obama grew up in a world deeply influenced by the CIA, among other establishment institutions. The key here is his life in Indonesia. Did you know his mother's supervisor was one Peter Geithner? The lead-in to this:
Consistent with the Barack Obama we know, however, are his real family, his real upbringing, and his real choices of profession and associates. His mother's parents, who raised him, seem to have been cogs in the U.S. government's well-heeled, well-connected machine for influencing the world, whether openly ("gray influence") or covertly ("black operations"). His mother spent her life and marriages, and birthed her children, working in that machine. For paradigms of young Barack's demeanor, proclivities, opinions, language, and attitudes one need look no further than the persons who ran the institutions that his mother and grandparents served--e.g., the Ford Foundation, the United States Information Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency--as well as his chosen mentors and colleagues. It is here, with these people and institutions, that one should begin to unravel the unknowns surrounding him.At the very least one can conclude that far from being on the outs, young Obama was always part of a segment of this country's ruling elite.Posted by: Johnny Rico at May 14, 2012 08:09 AM (e8kgV)

According to the Wisconsin Dem, the party has asked the DNC for $500,000 to help with its massive field operation. While the DNC has made generally supportive noises, the money has not been forthcoming, the official says — with less than a month until the June 5th recall election. The DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
ObamaÂ’s political operation is providing volunteers with info on how to get involved in the recall battle and how to register to vote, but isnÂ’t investing any money in the race.Posted by: mama winger at May 14, 2012 08:16 AM (P6QsQ)

What makes this all the more galling to Wisconsin Dems is that a Walker win could be bad for the national partyÂ’s prospects in November.
“Scott Walker has made this a national election,” the Wisconsin Dem tells me. “If he wins, he will turn his victory into a national referendum on his ideas about the middle class. It will hurt Democrats nationally. The fact that [national Dems] are sitting on their hands now is so frustrating. The whole ticket stands to lose.”

while everyone has the right to an opinion, they also are going to have others think they are soul-less idiots. I guess propping up a jerk that could care less about families that have been eaten alive by the mistakes made by govt intrusions
i guess they don't believe Obama was capable of doing a thing positive with the economy, or should actually acknowledge it (uh sometimes i forget about those affected by the recession) so it's not Obamas fault at all that there are millions and millions of unemployed people that simply seem to have disappeared. I guess adding more burdens/regulations on business doesn't effect anything. and re the Unemployed ,Where in the Hell are their stories?

The new ad drew immediate fire from a former economic adviser to the president, Steven Rattner, dubbed the "Car Czar" because he oversaw the Administration's automobile industry overhaul. Interviewed on MSNBC, the investment banker and private equity financier bluntly declared "I think the ad is unfair." Noting the video's focus on lost jobs, Rattner said "this is part of capitalism, this is part of life, and I don't think there's anything Bain Capital did that they need to be embarrassed about."
As I said, they can't seem to do anything right this time around. Good.

The basic definition of a 'Hate Crime'....is that it is "motivated by a hostility towards a group, based on race, creed, gender or sexual orientation".
Gays reject the heterosexual lifestyle....and display a hostility towards heterosexuals in many ways. ....So, one could say, that demanding that the definition of Marriage be changed, to force gay marriage upon the country as a whole....is by definition, a Hate Crime.

Some analysts say Bain should not be blamed for the company's failure, noting that a wave of cheap imports forced nearly half of the U.S. steel industry into bankruptcy during that period. Another company set up around the same time, in which Bain took a minority stake, Steel Dynamics in Fort Wayne, Indiana, thrived.
"GS and Steel Dynamics were about as different as it gets," industry analyst Michelle Applebaum said. GS's core products were vulnerable to competition while Steel Dynamics became "one of the country's lowest-cost manufacturers of steel sheet," a product with more staying power. Steel Dynamics was also a non-union shop."
But yes, Romney bought GS so he could make hello salad with the blood of union workers.

Not sure if this is on topic or off, but I just started Breitbart's book. It'll be a slow go, because I'm reading it while on my exercise bike, which I don't do every day. It's interesting though, knowing what we know now, to read his words, especially his admission that he can't stay away from it, that it's like an addiction for him.

With my last handle, I was so damn reasonable and principled. I even said something in my sig line about loyal opposition. I got into an Occupy thread where they were blaming infiltrators from something called the "Black Bloc" anarchists for the violence at Occupy, and I asked -- ASKED, mind you -- whether these infiltrators weren't actually *attracted* to Occupy and why they didn't infiltrate Tea Party gatherings if they wanted to discredit grass-roots political movements. I was buried under 40 frowny-faces and gone in 3 posts.
Now I'm over there with a flippant handle mocking Obama at every step. They're fuming about the DNC not supporting Barrett in WI, and I show up aping the preezy of the united steezy saying "I *personally* oppose Walker. Isn't that enough for you? I'm the most powerful man in the world and your feelings matter to me! Thank you for your votes and your donations!" I've been carrying on like that for days and I can't get banned.

Facebook Co-founder, Eduardo Saverin, has renounced his US citizenship....in advance of getting his nearly $4 billion cut of the take from FB's IPO.

Why is this not getting more mention than it has? ....This guy is probably a Barky supporter. ....He becomes an instant billionaire, and runs for cover from the taxes that Barky wants to impose on those evil rich people.
Isn't this a glaring example of what will happen if Barky and the Dems get their way and get to pass their 'eat the rich' punitive taxes?

Apparently this happened because (of course) Iran's internet filter is so ridiculously unsophisticated that it works based on keywords -- and the mere mentioning of anti-filtering software likely set off the filters. Of course, while you might hope this would lead to a realization that such filters are not a good idea, somehow I doubt there will be any such epiphany.

I've taken a liking to streaming Chris Plante in the morning. He talked about this a lot today. He also stated that Bain invested in two steel companies (this one being one of them) by helping them update their operations and turn their failing company around. I don't know the status of the other steel company vs. the workers highlighted in this one...but Plante did say that this company's employees were union and the other was not.
But as Romeo13 said, the truth doesn't matter. They just have to reach the low info voter who won't look into the actual facts.

He thought tehs gheys would still donate like they did in 2008. When they started balking, he was forced against his will to cave. And look what he really said, he 'personally' would like to see states change their policies. States? States? When does the Left hold up Federalism as a good thing?

I don't think I've ever seen such a look of misery and dejection on the face of my daughter as I just did a moment ago. She just couldn't understand why Barack Obama would bully a fat black girl. "Even though Oprah endorsed him for President?" she asked pitifully.
I sat down with her on the sofa and (as calmly as I could) tried to
explain to her how the book with the bullying scene was really written by a white man who is a true believer and warrior for the cause of social justice, who was trying to illustrate that Our Gay-Black Messiah was once a child oppressed by racism and heteronormativism, and how lucky we are that he grew into the brave Lightworker we elected in 2008...
I tried to keep my voice steady, but it became increasingly difficult - the rage and feelings of helplessness were just too much. I think my daughter could tell something was wrong. I found myself at such a loss for words - nothing made any sense; nothing makes sense anymore. I finally had to admit, "Honey, I just don't know - I don't know why our Savior is really a failed human putz."
When I finished her lower lip started to tremble and her eyes began to fill with tears, "Daddy" she said, "why is the media letting this be talked about? Don't they realize there is an existential war on? Don't they know there may be a Supreme Court opening to fill?" Well, that was it for me: I finally fell apart. She just fell into my arms and we both began sobbing for several minutes.
For once she had to comfort me and get me back on my feet. Sometimes I just think it's too much, but seeing the strength in my young daughter's voice as she reminded me of Bill Ayers' famous quote ''I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.'' helped me to get through.

These days, there's lots of countries with less hostile business environments than the USA. The USA as the world understood it for the past 60 years is gasping its last dying breaths, and I don't see anyone in the political class who is treating this seriously.
The economic plenty of the post war era was due to a "last man standing" phenomenon that persisted for about 40 years. We literally had no viable international competition, because they'd all been decimated during the war.
That "grace period" is over, gone, kaput, but nobody wants to recognize or accept that we're now in a painful period of "reversion to the norm" where we don't have that post-war advantage, and in fact we're cripplingly handicapped by idiotic policies that assumed that era of plenty was the new normal for the USA rather than a special one-time gift.

Nobody really knows. Kodak officials now admit that they never made any public announcement about it. In fact, nobody in the city—officials, police or firemen—or in the state of New York or anywhere else knew about it until it was recently leaked by an ex-employee. Its existence and whereabouts were purposely kept vague and only a few engineers and Federal employees really knew about the project.
It's extremely strange that Kodak managed to get something like this. According to Miles Pomper, from the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington. it's "such an odd situation because private companies just don't have this material." While 3.5 pounds of weapons-grade uranium is not enough to create a nuclear bomb, illegal arm merchants are seeking small amounts like this to put them for sale in the black market—which is why the United States has such a tight control on this material. The government doesn't want Iran or al-Qaeda getting their hands all over the atomic candy for obvious reasons.
Kodak's purpose for the reactor wasn't sinister: they used it to check materials for impurities as well as neutron radiography testing. The reactor, a Californium Neutron Flux multiplier (CFX) was acquired in 1974 and loaded with three and a half pounds of enriched uranium plates placed around a californium-252 core.

According to a University of Edinburgh study:
"Milk poured down Britain's kitchen sinks each year creates a carbon footprint equivalent to thousands of car exhaust emissions, research shows.
Scientists say the 360,000 tonnes of milk wasted in the UK each year creates greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 100,000 tonnes of CO2. The study by the University of Edinburgh says this is the same as is emitted by about 20,000 cars annually..."

BOMBSHELL: Al-Qaeda Infiltrator was Working for Brits not CIA, Cover Blown for Election Year Politics
Just a week ago the establishment media was aflutter with news that a CIA double-agent had thwarted a new type of underwear bomb attack targeting U.S. flights in a plot devised by al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula.
But as the week progressed, a developing bombshell story got buried under President ObamaÂ’s gay marriage announcement. Not only is the supposed CIA asset not a CIA asset at all, but the entire operation was exposed prematurely and the double-agentÂ’s life was immediately threatened by an intelligence leak that very well may have come out of the White House for political gain...

They'll SUGGEST that individuals only purchase X-liters of milk per week. If you choose to buy more than that you can, but you'll be charged an additional "carbon offset" tax for every extra liter. Bank on it.

"I think it would be better if ALL the 1% left!"
Honest to God. I asked him who would provide the jobs and pay the taxes to support the government programs. He never answered me.
Those people are consumed with envy (one of those things we are admonished to avoid in the Ten Commandments). It's making them irrational and nuts!

Yeah, I've seen the "carbon footprint of wasted food destroying the planet" crap out of Britain before, with the exhortations to buy less food. You greedy bastards, how DARE you buy six bananas when you can only eat five before they go bad?!
And Britain has garbage police to sort through people's refuse and harass pensioners if they accidentally put a #2 plastic container in the recycle bin for #1 plastic (let alone actually into the *gasp* trash).
Meanwhile, Islamists on welfare agitate against the British government. Ho-hum.

They're total fucking idiots. Since the Zero endorsed this occu-filth I've been overwhelmed with asshat lib friends spamming me with OWS tripe in addition to the regular regurgitation of Soros funded agitprop. The sad thing is, people like that are running the Donk party and have the majority in the Senate.

“We’re not a party of ‘young guns,’ ” bemoans one senior party strategist, a reference to the 40-something clique of House GOP leaders—Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and Kevin McCarthy of California.
“Just look at the landscape. There’s a real dearth of talented, dynamic communicators right now in the caucus,” said the source, who requested anonymity in order to speak freely about the leadership. “People are either too liberal, or too conservative … or too old.”
That is debatable; that the triumvirate of House Democratic leaders assuredly is not composed of “young guns” is not.
Pelosi, of California, and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland are both 72. Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn of South Carolina, the highest-ranking African-American member of Congress, is 71. By comparison, Speaker John Boehner of Ohio is 62, Majority Leader Cantor is 48, and Majority Whip McCarthy is 47.

300They just showed film on MSNBC of Romney glistening in the sunshine.
I sometimes glisten, but then again I'm covered in aloe vera gel and am the mayor of Glistenville, CO. You can pry my gel from my cold, glistening hands. Or not.

Sickening, isn't it? .....And it's clear why liberals don't want the Ten Commandments seen....it condemns things like Lying, Stealing and Coveting thy neighbor's things.
They also love to promote Darwin's theory of Evolution.....but when it comes to 'survival of the fittest' with their own species....humans....then, it's: "No no no! That's Social Darwinism....we can't have that!"

I enjoy seeing the failure of stupid ideas but I know that somewhere there's dozens of big dollar Donk donors making shit loads of money while the companies go bankrupt. Just like Solyndra. These bastards make the Ulysses Grant administration look like pikers on corruption.

"I think it would be better if ALL the 1% left!"
Somebody retweeted a comment for a commie OWS type who stated that if there were no upper class, there would be no homelessness or poverty. This is apparently a popular belief amongst the "progressive" set.
How they come up with that conclusion I'm not sure. Unicorns and cursed Egyptian artifacts may be involved.

Very true, but I have to interact with them at work. They seemed OK before Teh won got elected and the country took a hard left. I could tolerate a small amount of Gw Bush bashing but now the bastards are completely out of hand. I'm trying to relocate to a red state but with the 0bama economy it's difficult. Ten years ago I didn't even know who Soros was or how completely fucked up the Donk party was. Now I know better.
