All the news this morning is on the shitty SOTU campaign speech. No point in trying to link. The man just has a lot of gall running on his “economic record” and calling for offshore drilling after defying multiple court orders to issue permits.
Amazingly F&F this morning played clips of his lies and actually called him on it. They really expanded on the Buffet secretary lie, but they didnÂ’t hit the core of it. They appear to be just as confused as the general public on effective tax rate vs marginal tax rate.

Nanny Botox threatens to release Gingrich material. Perhaps she forgets that the Republican control the ethics committee now. But, IÂ’m sure with Boner in charge she has nothing to worry about.

Obama announces financial crimes unit. WTF, I thought we had that already, its called the SEC. But hell, all they do is sit around and watch porn on gov computers.

SC Republican Tim Scott all over Obama for race baiting. I still think that since he was elected in a non-minority majority district we should have gerrymandered ClyburnÂ’s district away.
And West gets into the picture slamming Clyburn

The AP has slammed King Putt's bold new vision for us; they are amazingly harsh considering the source.

LOL, that reminds me of a troll we had on here months ago who was talking about how racist Sc was when he briefly lived here. And how he had played with all his "black" friends in a small town in Maine.
I went and did some checking. Small towns in Maine have no blacks living there. I have more blacks living in my "racist" neighborhood that the average town in Maine.

Bryan York on the Gingrich ethics case - and eventual vindication. Can't image Pelosi has much on Gingrich is this is all there is to it.

That was the other article I was going to post...good job. Yeah, Byron goes into a lot of detail why the whole Newt ethics investigation/fine was a big nothing burger.
It eased my mind on that particular point about Gingrich quite a bit.

It eased my mind on that particular point about Gingrich quite a bit. And IIRC Pelosi can't disclose anything from the committee hearings without getting in trouble herself, which under this regime, doesn't mean much these days...

I did that once yesterday but I gathered from the comments that Pixy would rather we didn't do that. That is what created this mess to begin with. Someone putting html in the name slot.

From the Obamacare article link above,
"A government of laws, not men" is among the most famous maxims produced by the American Revolution and the authors of the Constitution which was its ultimate fruit.
Alas - what people forget is that laws are simply the tools of men, used to govern. Only men who are willing to make themselves subject to law can operate in a system where there is what we like to call "rule of law." I think it would be more accurate to call it "rule BY law" which is a more accurate descriptor of what is happening in such a case. Anyway, the last couple Dem presidents have shown that if they choose not to obey the laws, they are not compelled to do so. They can do as they wish without consequence to themselves.
Only by having the right men in power, who can only be the product of a healthy culture, can we hope to have a just and orderly system. Right now we're ruled by a gang of thugs, who use the law as nothing more than a tool to impute guilt to their enemies. I'm not confident that our culture produces good men, suitable for political leadership, in adequate suppply to rememdy the situation.

Also, if you fail to close a command it will not carry forward to the next post. So you might italicize your entire post as a result but it won't wreck the whole thread.
And yes, the commands work in your sig.
Pixy is working hard and I offer thanks.

SOTU word cloud from zerohedge
The relative prominence of 'now' and 'new' caught my eye. That fits well with his auto industry like slogan for the economy: Built to Last.

The SOTU must have been boring even by President Petulant standards. The usual DNC groupies at my regular business news web site who generally go into orgasmic happy dances every time The One emits gas of any sort are deathly quiet about his speech this morning. If they're not excited about it, odds are no one outside the Beltway and various F&F hosts and hostesses ("ho"s for short) will be either.
And the weather is really nice for late January in the mountains...supposed to be sunny and upper 50s today. You could almost forget the SCoaMT even exists.

She's never been put on the hot seat about her sleazy deal regarding tuna, Samoa, and her husband either. I always sensed there was something prison worthy about that scandal that the media ignored.

Re the financial crimes unit: The SEC is a worthless group and has done little to actually enforce any laws, but they have a set of rules in place for how they are to operate. The reason for a NEW financial crimes "agency/czar" is that Obama will now be able to write new rules on the fly to further the goals of his kleptocracy.

Not to mention Mitt would've found something by now and the repubs who used to be on the commitee would squeal.

What is amazing to me is the only people who openly mocked the AGW fraud were bounced out because they either can't get traction (Santorum) or because they did not do "beat the press" soundbites (Perry) in the debates.
Now they will get the impression that the public wants some kind of AGW scam.

Posted by: Flapjackmaka at January 25, 2012 04:08 AM (zv6N6)
I am afraid that AGW is with us to stay, primarily because it is a noble cause that justifies enslavement of the US population, resources, and money. It doesn't have to be real to be useful to an establishment politician (and beneath their masks, they are all establishment politicians).

I can't concentrate on today's headlines. The ONT has got me too busy thinking about what kind of lanyard I'm going to buy to keep my driver's license at the ready for purchasing highlighters, instant cameras, etc.
Only time I'll get to put that thing away is at the voting booth, apparently.

She doesn't need to reveal any more even if she were to have something. And if she were to say that she's prevented by law or congressional regs to reveal it, that's almost as damaging.

The proggs I know in meatspace haven't said a word about SCOAMF but are into snark hyperdrive over Mitch. "Can he really believe that stuff the RNC wrote for him to read?" Talk about projection.
Posted by: HeatherRadish needs italics. And a beer. at January 25, 2012 04:16 AM (ZKzrr)
The mistake that the GOP and the "establishment" has been making is to not take this election seriously. This one is not politics as usual. We face an existential threat to the fabric of our country. Even if you don't buy into the concept of limited government, just the massive overload of sovereign debt and fundamental unseriousness on entitlements makes this one of the most important elections in our nation's history.
Newt, with all of his baggage, is the only guy in the race that seems to be taking it seriously. He is the only one who will tell people the stark choice we face. Even Santorum doesn't rhetorically address the stark reality, even though he is a "better" conservative.
I thought Steyn had a great suggestion for Newt. Just lay out all of the baggage that people dredge up and say, "So? Do you want to re-litigate the past, or save the future?"

In his speech, the President mentioned Master Lock's decision to bring
jobs back to their unionized plant in Milwaukee, which is now running at
capacity for the first time in fifteen years.

So after bashing Scott Walker all spring, now he's taking credit for Walker's work.

Greetings from Down Under from your lurking Aussie!
Wish I could link - it's Australia Day today and apparently we're racist if we fly Aussie flags on cars etc What a load of BS
Just turned the news on and Geoffrey Rush (actor) who's Australian of the Year was rabbiting on about asylum seekers (we have a problem with Afghanis, Pakistanis etc travelling through several Muslim countries but usually just flying to Indonesia, hopping on a leaky boat after paying people smuggling sharks $10,000 and ending up here with well rehearsed sob stories and then spending their lives living in OZ on welfare) - well I've had enough and I'm not taking it anymore!
No wonder I only watch sports (love my cricket and footy) and get my news online from selected sites like here
Feels good having a bit of a rant occasionally doesn't it?

After reading your comment I'm not clear on whether Rush was sympathetic to muzzie wetbacks or railing against.
Which?

Good to hear from The Land Down Under. Ranting here is about the only thing keeping me sane.
At one time I thought 'well, if the US goes to hell I can always escape to Australia.' But your politicos are busy screwing your nation up faster than ours are.
And that takes some doing.

115 Rush wants more sympathy etc - most Aussies do not want economic refugees who decide we are a soft touch
I wish that he would have just said how proud he was to be an Aussie rather than get into preaching mode about economic refugees who mostle do not integrate and who gladly live off taxpayers like me
