CRACKDOWN IN BAHARESTAN SQUARE!... 3 People Shot-- Police Will Not Allow Protesters to Assist Them ...Update: 1 Woman Dead ...Update: Several Dead
I am of the belief that Obama may have placed too much confidence in one's ability to chat amicably with one's enemies and obtain favorable results.

Train Stations Demolished
Demolished! 11 Beautiful Train Stations That Fell To The Wrecking Ball (And The Crappy Stuff Built In Their Place)
Not on his list is Union Station in Columbus, Ohio. It was literally and figuratively a very cool station.
Above left is Union Station before demolition and to its right is what replaced it. It's call the Columbus Convention Center and the only thing worse than its architecture is its functionality.

Danica + NASCAR = Showboat
Scott Dixon may be key to Danica's NASCAR future
That would then open a seat that could be filled by Danica Patrick, whose contract with Andretti Green Racing expires this season. Patrick is represented by IMG, which is currently "gathering facts" on possibilities in both IndyCar and NASCAR.
Good Lord, I miss the likes of JD McDuffy, Tiny Lund, Harry Gant and the other drivers that actually knew that A Maxwell House Steering Column was a joke, but with Danica we'll be able to see Tofu sponsored races in the Sushi capital of the world.

mRed Fascist Bilderberger Supporter Of Kasich
This race is shaping up to be a war between the New York financiers that screwed this country out of trillions, i.e. John Kasich fascist supporters, and the Washington socialists that have allowed the New York financiers to screw this country, i.e. Ted Strickland leftist supporters, and with no one supporting Ohio. Wonderful!
I've been screwed because nobody ever told me I was a Washington socialite and a New York financier. Probably the Bildenberg guys couldn't find me because I was in a stinking cut rate apartment without a phone doing another campaign and dummy me for not realizing selling derivatives was a crime and all of those rich bastards on Wall Street should be regulated down to their chow time by the federal government. Who knew Waxman was the real conservative?
Oh well, maybe I'll get a decent drone position in the NWO. I mean if I'm Fascist enough.
Will I get my own midnight black helicopter? With symbols?
This is childish name calling like you'd normally see over at the democratic underground.

Kasich Catching Strickland
Kasich can be prickly and decisive and he can be thoughtful and logical which is what I want in a leader when the ship is going down.

Good News for John Kasich
The race to define John Kasich is going to be an important one and here is where I fear that the Democrats online advantage may do us some damage. It is totally bogus, but the Ohio Democrats push to tie Kasich to the recession through his employment at Lehman Brothers is everywhere. I've seen ads on Facebook, Google, Yahoo and even National Review.
All in all, at this point in the campaign, John Kasich has to be feeling pretty good about his chances. I know I do. (read the rest)
Years ago there was a frick & frack duo in Columbus made of the unlikely pair of John Kasich and Mike Stinziano, political opposites made even more curious by the height of one and the shortness of the other. Though I disagreed politically with Mike I had the chance to get to know him well and found him to be a tremendous person. In 1984, as we were all preparing for Reagan's second inaugural. I was walking through the crowded lobby of the Four Seasons and heard my name being called to which I turned to look and all I could see was Kasich above the crowd. Then a break in the crowd and I could see Mike and his wife, both waving. It was a wonderful time. Kasich & Lashutka at Beck Tavern is another story.
I am a big supporter of John Kasich. Ohio needs a scruffy kid from a blue collar family that understands both sides of the aisle, but has core beliefs, the savvy and the street smarts to get it done.
BTW, John came from a Democrat Pennsylvania family, but became a Republican, in part, because he, as a freshman at OSU, wrote then President Nixon a letter who was so impressed he invited Kasich to the Oval Office for a meeting.
Who says Nixon didn't do some good?

I'm Wealthy. I Have A Pool!!
In my basement.
Ohio is bracing for more violent weather amid power outages and high water left behind from an earlier round of strong storms.Heavy rain, gusty winds and lightning hit western and central Ohio Friday morning, putting some roads under water and cutting power to some 20,000 customers. Also, a gas station canopy collapsed under the weight of rainwater in Delaware, north of Columbus. Authorities say no one was hurt.By noon, around 6,000 customers still had no electricity in central and southeast Ohio, and National Weather Service flash flood warnings and watches were up across much of the state because of potential problems along swollen creeks and streams.Forecasters say more storms with drenching rain are likely later in the day and into the night.
Obama's Health Care Ain't So Healthy
And nor is our health system after 44 years of government help.
That is the way government help goes. Vibrant black communities such as Harlem were devastated by government help. With government help abortions have sky-rocketed, but they consider that a success. Communities seeking relief from inner city problems and hoping for regeneration were given Urban Renewal complete with the help of government sponsored architects and urban planners. Those cities are just now physically recovering from that help. The districts, such as San Francisco's Fillmore District, have been destroyed forever along with the communities that lived there, city cohesion and the jobs are lost forever. All in the name of government help.
Now Obama wants to 'help' us all some more, maybe kill us with the cure.
My family has been involved in medicine and health care for generations, but before my father died in 1967 he was glad that I would not continue that family practice. He told me that with the advent of government Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, medicine in America would see medical care go in the toilet and the costs go through the ceiling.
Health care costs since the federal government started helping us:
In 1965, $42.2 billion (or $187 billion in 2005 dollars) was spent on health care.
In 2006, national spending on health care reached $2.1 trillion (an increase of almost 97 percent over the past 10 years).
The current national health spending of $2.1 trillion accounts for 16 percent of the gross domestic product.
This trend in health spending is projected to continue, reaching $4.3 trillion in 2017.
A look at a doctor's office, as an example, in 1965 shows a far different look than today's modern office. A typical doctor in 1965 had a receptionist who also handled billing and follow up calls and a nurse who assisted the doctor who, if also a surgeon, saw a steady stream of patients after a morning of surgery and also had his office open on Saturday mornings.
Today, my doctor, who is excellent, has a large staff just to cover paper work for the government and insurance companies, which also have large staffs for CYA with the government, a hidden staff of over seers and lawyers to check on him and to protect him and an even larger unseen partner called the federal government which has made him rethink being a doctor. He is not alone.
And we want more government help for .......?

June 18
18th June 1923 : The First Checker Cab is produced by the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. By 1925 the Checker Cab Company is the largest manufacturer of Cabs in the country .
18th June 1964 : Soviet leader Khrushchev toured Denmark's agricultural sites but concluded that the Soviet Union cannot learn much from the country. He also vowed that the Soviet Union's agricultural problems would be solved within seven to eight years, and if they weren't he would leave the communist party.
Anybody spotted BO in Denmark lately?
A Sneaky Government Furtively Rushing Through The Night
Auto companies, insurance companies, possibly our medical care and now banking.
Democrats to push through banking overhaul -- quickly...
This is the liberal, progressive and socialist dream, to control us through the basics and because no one will stand and say "enough" they could succeed.

It has been a month that I'd much prefer to have never happened. Thank you to all of you that sent messages of concern. It isn't better, but it is time to move on.
Besides, to divert one from their problems one only has to look at larger problems.
Our current administration.
It is a nightmare to all that love what has made the United States of America great.

Obama Architecture
Soviet architecture in Moscow.I'm sure that he'll get around to it and snicker when he names an "architecture" czar who will oversee all new construction in our worker's paradise much like the one pictured here.

Congress & Administration Take More Corporate Control
Sherrod lite, George Voinovich, voted with Brown to grab more federal power over business. It's easy to do, because it's all for the children.
Historic anti-smoking vote to give FDA new power
The legislation, one of the most dramatic anti-smoking initiatives since the U.S. surgeon general's warning 45 years ago that tobacco causes lung cancer, would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the content, marketing and advertising of cigarettes and other tobacco products.
...
Obama's signature would then add tobacco to other huge, nationally important areas that have come under greater government supervision since his presidency began. Those include banking, housing and autos. Still to come, if Congress can agree: health care.

Great, a new generation of bureaucrats. Who needs bullets, guns and missiles when you have an army of bureaucrats, boots and pencils on the ground, already in place?
College grads shun Wall Street for Washington...
Yep, having worked there I am more than aware of the bureaucratic mentality and what is actually produced as opposed to all the good-feel talk of helping the nation.
Did I say produced? What is produced kills an entire forest every day to fill page after page after page with crap. A more apt application would be to cut to the chase and just make toilet paper the first time around.

What Has Obama Wrought?
A unconstitutional power grab by the federal government, the redistribution of wealth, the instigation and implementation of of not just taking money from those who have made it to give to those that haven't, but also a redistribution of power and control for the Socialist Democratic Party in a way that would have caused our founding fathers to cry traitor.

How Our Bureaucracy Got Obese
When government went off a healthy diet in the United States.
9th June 1943 : New laws are passed which require employers to withhold federal taxes from weekly paychecks. This changed the earlier format where taxes were paid in one lump sum at the end of each year, and has been called "Pay As You Go tax"
"Pay as you go" is government's way of saying, "Give all of it to us."

Strickland Asking $400M For Loser Project-HSR
In an effort to assist Obama to compound the disastrous Stimulus Plan of grovel ready projects for the states, Strickland is in DC on his knees begging money for a high speed rail for Ohio. Huh? Why? Governments worldwide have proven they can't run railroads and we are to believe Strickland and his cronies are going to pull a Mussolini and make them run on time. Even Mussolini lost money in the railroad business.
Strickland asking for $400 million for passenger rail
"Ohio and those cities represent the most densely populated part of the country that is devoid of passenger rail service," Strickland said, calling that fact "intolerable."
Actually, it is intolerable that these people are wasting our money at such a high rate of speed. This isn't high speed rail, it's high speed revenue with no pay back. It'd be cheaper, faster and better to add a high speed lane on both side of 71 to allow people that want to drive 80 mph. They're going to have to add the lanes at some point anyway, so why not now.
There are only two high speed rail systems that make money in the world. The rest lose money, just like our mismanaged and poorly planned government Amtrak-slow, at an incredible rate.
On the bright side, the government will be able to condemn huge tracts of land to build this albatross and then change the surrounding farm land's tax classification thus raising taxes without have to ask the voters.
Get government, at all levels, out of the business of business. They really stink at all aspects of business.

US Royal Vacation 2 UK
The Obama family visits Westminster — and hears bell toll for MPs
Looks like she thinks the bell tolled for her. Ah, Bridge of Sighs.
Ere her limbs frigidly
Stiffen too rigidly,
Decently,--kindly,--
Smooth, and compose them;
And her eyes, close them,
Staring so blindly!

OMAHA BEACH, FRANCE: BRIT PM BROWN DECLARES 'OBAMA BEACH' IN D-DAY TRUBUTE SPEECH...
My father, God rest his soul, as a WW II veteran would have puked hearing this. How low a bad expense report can bring one. Brown is aptly named.
Obama Beach indeed. What an insult to the brave soldiers who fought, died and won there.
Of course, Obama loves to say that politics, and 'fighting for the poor' is pure politics in Chicago, is a blood sport, but Obama was a soldier who tasked himself with sensing which way the wind blew just before a fight. Maybe Brown, himself a proven man of valor, should've stuck his wet fat finger in the air a little earlier.

Marble That Breathes
When finishing the Moses (San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome), Michelangelo violently hit the knee of the statue with a hammer, shouting, "Why don't you speak to me?"
A New Hut For Obama
Architecturally simple yet functional these new huts symbolize hope, 
unlike huts built in other counties of the world, like George Hussein Onyango Obama's hut outside Nairobi. Yet those honoring President Obama are doing so because of the speeches he has made on his "Gee, I'm sorry" tour.
Settlers build 'Oz Yehonatan' outpost
A day after US President Barack Obama reiterated his call to stop settlement activity during a speech in Cairo, defiant settlers continued to erect illegal structures in the West Bank, building a new outpost on Friday morning between Migron and Kohav Ya'akov.
At the outpost, named Oz Yehonatan, the settlers built a wooden structure they mockingly called the "Obama Hut," saying it was a sign of appreciation for the US president for his actions that had led to a dramatic rise in the number of outposts.
In a way, I guess, these settlers are feeling that Hope and Change because now that they know they have been abandoned by America, they have a revitalized hope and belief of going it alone. That is change. It's wrong, but it is change.

Astroturfing 'Fairness' To Deny Worker's Rights
If you think that unions and their thugs have given up on Card Check, you'd be wrong. Now they are bullying a Congress that lives by polls with faux polling techniques. It is quite breathtaking to see members falling for this stuff. Of course if they took off their togas and wandered the streets on which their constituents lived and worked they might actually find out what is really being thought by the citizenry, but then who would carefully drop grapes into their gaping maws.
Card-Check Threat Alive And Well
Big Labor: If you thought "card check" legislation that would kill off workers' right to a secret ballot is dead, think again. Despite public repudiation, it's back — with its advocates using sneakier tactics.
...
The Employee Free Choice Act would permit the establishment of new unions solely on the signatures of a company's employees, taken either on the fly or with union thugs standing in their doorways.
Besides denying workers a right to a secret ballot, "card check," as it's known, also forces federal arbitration onto companies for union contracts, ensuring that either unions dictate the wages they want or a federal bureaucrat will step in and do it for them based on politics, not economics.
It's a formula for disaster. This still-undead bill will shut plants, drive jobs abroad and ensure that few new jobs are ever created. Little wonder the public has turned a thumbs-down on it, and Congress has backed away. A recent Pew poll shows that 61% of Americans think labor unions have gotten too powerful.
But it hasn't stopped Big Labor. Card check remains its top goal, and instead of dropping a bad idea, it's switching tactics.
Made up of household company names such as: "Boulder's Best Organics," "Ukush Handmade for Fair Trade," "Mother Earth Reverence Farms," "Justice Clothing," "Loughmiller's Pub," "Central Montessori School," "Montana Vintage Clothing," "DaMane's Hair Studio," "If Jesus Can't Fix It, Neither Can We," and "Swanton Berry Farm", the new movement speaks to America as a whole in the same way that advertisements featuring a couple wanting sex in side by side bathtubs on a platform by the sea exemplify couples everywhere.
BTW, if Jesus can't fix it, it hasn't been made.

Royal Vacation In Paris
Forget Paris, Ohio or Paris, Texas, they're not good enough for the Obama clan, so they're all in Paris, France for a vacation, but even though we must cancel our vacations we still get to pay for theirs! So much for his 'Buy American' chat which probably makes it campaign lie #5, 329.
Obamas' trip to Paris raises some eyebrows
After whisking his wife to Manhattan for dinner and a Broadway show last weekend, President Obama is treating his family to a Paris vacation - paid for, in part, by taxpayers.
The White House confirmed yesterday that first lady Michelle Obama, their two daughters, and his mother-in-law will fly today to the City of Lights to join the president, who has scheduled meetings with French officials and will appear at a ceremony tomorrow in Normandy marking the 65th anniversary of D-Day.
Last year on the campaign trail, the Obamas prided themselves on staying close to the people. Much was made of Michelle Obama's down-to-earth J.Crew wardrobe, candidate Obama's off-the-rack suits, and the family's search for a "shelter dog" to satisfy the wishes of 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha for a puppy.
Now, the French press is buzzing about whether the first family will dine at a posh restaurant atop the Eiffel Tower, what fashions the first lady will wear, and whether she'll outshine Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, her glamorous French counterpart.
The First Lady is no Jackie lite, but she'll always have Paris. On our dime.

Now, the French press is buzzing about whether the first family will dine at a posh restaurant atop the Eiffel Tower, what fashions the first lady will wear, and whether she'll outshine Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, her glamorous French counterpart.
The First Lady is no Jackie lite, but she'll always have Paris. On our dime.

All Time Great Koko Taylor Has Passed At Age 80
For those that do not listen to the Blues Koko Taylor was a musical giant among the players because, first and foremost, she was a player, not a poser. Tough with a heart of gold and a voice of gravelly silk, Taylor stayed to her roots and matched the boys toe-to-toe with a passion for life and music that could be exhausting just to see and hear, much as it must have been to watch Mozart conduct.
Just wow. Absolutely wow. I got me some Blues to listen to to give my respect to the passing of this great singer.
Some history:
Born Cora Walton on a sharecropper’s farm just outside Memphis, TN, on September 28, 1928, Koko, nicknamed for her love of chocolate, fell in love with music at an early age. Inspired by gospel music and WDIA blues disc jockeys B.B. King and Rufus Thomas, Taylor began belting the blues with her five brothers and sisters, accompanying themselves on their homemade instruments. In 1952, Taylor and her soon-to-be-husband, the late Robert “Pops” Taylor, traveled to Chicago with nothing but, in Koko’s words, “thirty-five cents and a box of Ritz Crackers.”
In Chicago, “Pops” worked for a packing company, and Koko cleaned houses. Together they frequented the city’s blues clubs nightly. Encouraged by her husband, Koko began to sit in with the city’s top blues bands, and soon she was in demand as a guest artist. One evening in 1962 Koko was approached by arranger/composer Willie Dixon. Overwhelmed by Koko’s performance, Dixon landed Koko a Chess Records recording contract, where he produced her several singles, two albums and penned her million-selling 1965 hit “Wang Dang Doodle,” which would become Taylor’s signature song.
Koko Taylor was one of very few women who found success in the male-dominated blues world. She took her music from the tiny clubs of Chicago’s South Side to concert halls and major festivals all over the world. She shared stages with every major blues star, including Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy as well as rock icons Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.
Taylor’s final performance was on May 7, 2009 in Memphis at the Blues Music Awards, where she sang “Wang Dang Doodle” after receiving her award for Traditional Blues Female Artist Of The Year.

One World Nuclear Weapons
In the Czech Republic in early April Obama said this;
The president said that the solutions will include preventing the production of more nuclear weapons, negotiating a new international treaty and strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
He warned that countries that break the rules will face immediate consequences, including automatic referral to the U.N. Security Council.
A few days ago our government 'accidentally' released the locations of our nuclear sites:
The federal government mistakenly made public a 266-page report, its pages marked “highly confidential,” that gives detailed information about hundreds of the nation’s civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons.
Now, Obama in a speech in Cairo stated:
No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America’s commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.
Who should choose? If no one nation holds nuclear weapons, who will? What is Obama describing here, possibly a super government that will have the right to pick and choose, IE govern, all nations? Who will rule this super government? Who will decide who will be this ruler? Who will fund the super bureaucracy which will own no soil, but rule all soil? How will there be recompense or opposition to such a super government?
Where, on this planet, will we find the Solomon wise enough and impartial enough to make decisions concerning life and death of nations or will it be a council of Solomons? How will this super government enforce its decrees? Will there be a council or congress given such power under Chapter MXCCVIII after endless sanctions fail or will there be swift and deadly action against transgressors of the peace?
Will the 'peace keepers' wear uniforms with a double thunder bolt, skull and cross bones or a rainbow insignia as they wield their nuclear weapons over the 'nations' of the world?
China, Russia, Korea and the countries of the Middle East and Africa have not earned the right to be part of such a super government.
Thank you for your international "I have a dream" speech Mr Obama, but I think we should retain our nuclear weapons and the decision whether to use them or not. You offer the world and our country good theater, but in the end it is just that, theater.

Homeless Risotto & Blackberrys
Recently Michelle Obama went to serve food to the homeless at a government funded soup kitchen.
Cost of a bowl of soup at homeless shelter: $0.00

Brian Williams Bows To Obama
Makes sense to them, not to me, but to them. Obama bows to Kings and such, so Williams bows to Obama. Obama is our new "king."
All this bowing make makes me sick.

House In A Box
One could order a house from a Sears & Roebuck catlogue and it would arrive in two railroad cars ready to be put together by "a man of average abilities."

CHANGE: Chinese Hummer-HOPE:They Don't Ship The Jobs There
Obama's outsourcing overseas plan. Think those customer service operators are hard to understand now, just wait until you have to complain about seats put in backwards. You'll probably be told, "yaw wuo." Get used to it.
GM to sell Hummer to Chinese company
General Motors Corp. took a key step toward its downsizing on Tuesday, striking a tentative deal to sell its Hummer brand to a Chinese manufacturer, while also revealing that it has potential buyers for its Saturn and Saab brands.
Obama's economic plan is strengthing the economy everyday. In China.

Feds spike voter citizenship checks in Georgia
"This flawed system frequently subjects a disproportionate number of African-American, Asian and/or Hispanic voters to additional, and more importantly, erroneous burdens on the right to register to vote," Loretta King, acting assistant attorney general of the Justice Department's civil rights division, said. King's letter was sent to Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker on Friday.
Why is it so onerous to produce an ID? Whatever, we already have 110% of eligible voters making their mark in places around the country so why stop here.
Why are these rulings being made? It cannot be because of racism, because if it is then the Justice Department is stating that these groups aren't intelligent and responsible enough to provide proof. Now that is racism.

Presidents Abedinejad & Obama Will Just Have A Nice Chat
As usual The Washington Post poses Iran's plans for nuclear weapons as a domestic concern that can be rationally chatted about by the big O and Chairman Short.
Obama says Iran's energy concerns legitimate
President Barack Obama suggested that Iran may have some right to nuclear energy _ provided it proves by the end of the year that its aspirations are peaceful.
Obama then went on to caution us that our values are different from Iran's values. Who knew?
Obama added that there is a danger "when the United States, or any country, thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture."
Different? I'd say so. We don't reward murders wielding long knives for the decapitation of infidels and rapists plying their trade with family, friends and neighbors with a promise of 72 virgins for eternity. Mix in nuclear weapons and their intended use by Iran and those differences become more clear. To us. Not so much with the Obama Administration.

Pravda Calls US Marxist
Pot calling kettle black and all that, but Pravda is right on this one.
American capitalism gone with a whimper
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.
Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.
These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

We might have sold the rope with which the Soviet buyer would hang us, but we are giving the rope away for free to our own government to do the same thing.
Ironic it takes a Russian to point this out, eh?

'Climate Change': Women, Children & Minorities Hit Hardest
Kofi is back! He's got his scare on big and he's going straight for your walllet. Kyoto? Forget that cub scout crap, now we have a more poetic sounding treaty to transfer even more wealth from those that do to those that don't, Copenhagen.
Climate change causes 315,000 deaths a year-report
Climate change kills about 315,000 people a year through hunger, sickness and weather disasters, and the annual death toll is expected to rise to half a million by 2030, a report said on Friday.
The study, commissioned by the Geneva-based Global Humanitarian Forum (GHF), estimates that climate change seriously affects 325 million people every year, a number that will more than double in 20 years to 10 percent of the world's population (now about 6.7 billion).
Economic losses due to global warming amount to over $125 billion annually -- more than the flow of aid from rich to poor nations -- and are expected to rise to $340 billion each year by 2030, according to the report.
"Climate change is the greatest emerging humanitarian challenge of our time, causing suffering to hundreds of millions of people worldwide," Kofi Annan, former U.N. secretary-general and GHF president, said in a statement.
"The first hit and worst affected are the world's poorest groups, and yet they have done least to cause the problem."
The report says developing countries bear more than nine-tenths of the human and economic burden of climate change, while the 50 poorest countries contribute less than 1 percent of the carbon emissions that are heating up the planet.
Annan urged governments due to meet at U.N. talks in Copenhagen in December to agree on an effective, fair and binding global pact to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, the world's main mechanism for tackling global warming.
"Copenhagen needs to be the most ambitious international agreement ever negotiated," he wrote in an introduction to the report. "The alternative is mass starvation, mass migration and mass sickness."
The study warns that the true human impact of global warming is likely to be far more severe than it predicts, because it uses conservative U.N. scenarios. New scientific evidence points to greater and more rapid climate change.
The report calls for a particular focus on the 500 million people it identifies as extremely vulnerable because they live in poor countries most prone to droughts, floods, storms, sea-level rise and creeping deserts.
Africa is the region most at risk from climate change, home to 15 of the 20 most vulnerable countries, the report says. Other areas also facing the highest level of threat include South Asia and small island developing states.
To avoid the worst outcomes, the report says efforts to adapt to the effects of climate change must be scaled up 100 times in developing countries. International funds pledged for this purpose amount to only $400 million, compared with an average estimated cost of $32 billion annually, it notes.
"Funding from rich countries to help the poor and vulnerable adapt to climate change is not even 1 percent of what is needed," said Barbara Stocking, chief executive of Oxfam in Britain and a GHF board member.
"This glaring injustice must be addressed at Copenhagen in December." (Reporting by Megan Rowling, editing by Tim Pearce) emphasis mine
This glaring injustice is always discussed and debated in lavish buildings over sumptuous meals and sustained by the best wines, liqueurs and liquors, just as the poorest of the poor would expect. It is hard work stealing.

Obama's 'No New Tax' Lie Goes National?
Obama's tax pledge now is going national in a regressive form unheard of.
From the Washington Post
Once Considered Unthinkable, U.S. Sales Tax Gets Fresh Look
"Everybody who understands our long-term budget problems understands we're going to need a new source of revenue, and a VAT is an obvious candidate," said Leonard Burman, co-director of the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, who testified on Capitol Hill this month about his own VAT plan. "It's common to the rest of the world, and we don't have it."
One possibility for new revenue is a combination of large tax cuts, getting the government out of the business of business and cutting the federal bureaucracy dramatically, but nah, that's not the liberal way let alone the way of socialism.

Poofing Cows & Now Belching Sheep
From across the pond come words of insanity from Gore's evil twin
Burping of the lambs blows roast off menu
The problem is because sheep burp so much methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Cows are only slightly better behaved. The production of 2.2lb of beef releases methane equivalent to 35lb of CO2 Tomatoes, most of which are grown in heated glasshouses, are the most “carbon-intensive” vegetable, each 2.2lb generating more than 20lb of CO2 Potatoes, in contrast, release only about 1lb of CO2 for each 2.2lb of food. The figures are similar for most other native fruit and vegetables.
“We are not saying that everyone should become vegetarian or give up drinking but moving towards less carbon intensive foods will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve health,” said Kennedy.
The climate committee is analysing emissions from farming and will suggest measures to reduce them. However, it has concluded that people will have to change their habits.
I think it now safe to assume dinasaurs were actually made extinct by bureaucratic decree from Stonehenge because of their carbon footprint. Plus, they didn't vote liberal.

Memorial Day
For those that have died in service, those that have served, are serving and those that support them.
I. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but Posts and comrades will, in their own way, arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit.
We are organized, Comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers sailors and Marines, who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead? We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security, is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.
If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.
Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
II. It is the purpose of the Commander in Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith.
III. Department commanders will use every effort to make this Order effective.

Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
II. It is the purpose of the Commander in Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year, while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this Order, and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith.
III. Department commanders will use every effort to make this Order effective.

"We're Out Of Money" Because Of Health Care?
No way you can make this stuff up. We are in a financial crisis, not because of the match called Fannie & Freddie that lit the fuse, but because we did not, "make some good decisions on health care over the last several decades."
Huh?
How far down Alice's hole will Obama take us?
C-SPAN
SCULLY: You know the numbers, $1.7 trillion debt, a national deficit of $11 trillion. At what point do we run out of money?
OBAMA: Well, we are out of money now. We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we've made on health care so far. This is a consequence of the crisis that we've seen and in fact our failure to make some good decisions on health care over the last several decades.
So we've got a short-term problem, which is we had to spend a lot of money to salvage our financial system, we had to deal with the auto companies, a huge recession which drains tax revenue at the same time it's putting more pressure on governments to provide unemployment insurance or make sure that food stamps are available for people who have been laid off.
So we have a short-term problem and we also have a long-term problem. The short-term problem is dwarfed by the long-term problem. And the long-term problem is Medicaid and Medicare. If we don't reduce long-term health care inflation substantially, we can't get control of the deficit.
So, one option is just to do nothing. We say, well, it's too expensive for us to make some short-term investments in health care. We can't afford it. We've got this big deficit. Let's just keep the health care system that we've got now.
Along that trajectory, we will see health care cost as an overall share of our federal spending grow and grow and grow and grow until essentially it consumes everything...
It may be the mental health of Frank, Dodd, Pelosi, Reid, etc., but health care caused this financial mess? Besides out and out corruption in Congress the problem is big government and making it bigger will not improve one damned thing.

Joe Klein: As A Cripple, Krauthammer Can't See As Well
Liberals are nuanced and sensitive people or so that crock of crap is oft repeated. I believe this pot of intellectual and emotional paralysis is calling the kettle of physical paralysis black.
Barack Obama's biggest critic: Charles Krauthammer
"There's something tragic about him, too," Klein said, referring to Krauthammer's confinement to a wheelchair, the result of a diving accident during his first year of medical school. "His work would have a lot more nuance if he were able to see the situations he's writing about."
"My writing speaks for itself," Krauthammer responded in a curt e-mail. Read more: "Barack

(click to enlarge)
This subterranean dirty money being passed by federal decree to fill the wallets of Democrat Party supporters is now being done so out in the open. The media won't report it let alone explain how this works, but quietly hopes that this will launder the money and the corruption to the public's mind, ie, this is legal. It is not legal.
.
These are the groups and individuals that brought our current economic problems to a boiling point, all while saying the crisis is Bush's fault.

Follow the chart and the money and it is easy to see who is making millions and who is grabbing power.

Voter fraud as a profit center to fund further voter fraud to solidify corrupt power.

Barack Strickland Brings Back Barack Celeste
Ohio Unemployment Rate Exceeded 10 Percent In April
Ohio has an unemployment rate of more than 10 percent, for the first time in more than 25 years.
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services announced Friday that the state jobless rate for April was 10.2 percent, up from 9.7 percent in March.
Department spokesman Brian Harter said last month's rate was the highest since December 1983, when joblessness in Ohio hit 10.4 percent.
2009 & 1983. Strickland and Celeste. What a pair. One had a wife who preferred to live in another state and vacation with a sexual deviant employed by her husband and the other had a wife who felt she was forced to file for divorce from a sex addict and secretly become a 'catholic' priest.
They have more in common than shafting Ohio's workers with their anti-business programs.

The unanswered question is why is he doing this. Either he has a well thought out plan or he is actually too ignorant to be in the position, but what are the options with Jabbering Joe in 2nd and Bellicosi Pelosi in 3rd. In short, we are screwed.
Geithner Vows to Cut U.S. Deficit on Rating Concern
The dollar extended declines today after Treasuries and American stocks slumped on concern the U.S. government’s debt rating may at some point be lowered. Bill Gross, the co-chief investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Co., said the U.S. “eventually” will lose its AAA grade.

SHOCK: House Dems Block Pelosi Probe!
Okay, they have Biden cooling his heels in a bunker in East Numbnut where they don't speak English, Richardson is still off trying out for the major leagues, they hid Jefferson in the freezer, they told Rangle to get his Benz out of the House parking garage and drive it to the Dominican Republic, Dodd is trying to figure out which mansion basement he's going to hide in, but it looks like they're gonna hide Pelosi in plain sight inside a box of obstruction and rejection of principle. Typical.
House rejects probe into Pelosi CIA claims
House Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.
The House voted 252-172 to block the measure that would have created a bipartisan congressional panel. Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, sponsored the resolution.
"This is partisan politics and an attempt by the Republicans to distract from the real issue of creating jobs and making progress on health care, energy and education," said Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami.
Nadeam probably has a hard time sleeping at night as she tosses and turns over that thin tissue of lies already told and thinking up new ones. BTW Nadeam, great job you guys are doing on the job creation thing.

Pelosi's approval rating plummets
In the new survey, conducted Thursday through Sunday while Pelosi was embroiled in controversy over how much she was told about waterboarding of terrorist suspects, 48 percent of respondents said they disapproved of her performance.
Well, you know torture is kind of chic in San Fransisco, but who knew Nancy was into that stuff? Obama may want to throw her under the bus with mom and grandma, but the House Dems will keep her until she starts whistling for her imaginary dog, Checkers.

Democrat Panetta Calls Pelosi Liar
Swamp cleaner Pelosi is mired in lies and has totally screwed the pooch after telling the nation that the CIA lied to her. Leon is not happy that America's Nanny lied about the agency he heads just to cover her Ms California butt. Of course, the real Miss California is in trouble for telling the truth.
Panetta to CIA employees: We told Pelosi the truth
"Let me be clear: It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress. That is against our laws and our values. As the Agency indicated previously in response to Congressional inquiries, our contemporaneous records from September 2002 indicate that CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, describing “the enhanced techniques that had been employed.” Ultimately, it is up to Congress to evaluate all the evidence and reach its own conclusions about what happened."
I see a Speakership slipping away. If Democrats don't kick out of the Speaker's chair it will haunt them next election. Personally, I think she should be prosecuted for her lies which have weakened the nation and emboldened our enemies.

Obama's Closing of Thousands Of Dealership To Cost 100,000 + Jobs
In the blue-smoke & mirror economics of Obama's world he has not raised taxes on those making less than $250,000 even though he is actually raising billions of dollars in new taxes from them.
In the same world where Obama lives he is putting people back to work and improving lives by firing them. Not just CEOs, but all workers.
15 Chrysler Dealerships To Close In Md
Government bailouts mean government control. In a move backed by the White House's Auto Task Force, 789 Chrysler dealerships will be shut down.
Dealers received termination letters Thursday morning."What we didn't sign up for is having the government come out and say, `Hey, we're going to cut 2,500 GM dealers and 800 Chrysler dealers because we think ultimately it's going to make those companies more successful,'" said Peter Kitzmiller, president of the Maryland Automobile Dealers Association.
He says shutting down local dealerships won't work.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kitzmiller is wrong about his conclusion and wrong about why the dealerships are being closed against the will of the owners and their workers. This is part of Obama's overall plan with a strategy of making problems so bad that only the government can fix them and, of course, own part or all of the business which will only sell government approved products.
The Democratic Party is now the Socialist Party of America. I hope that loyal Democrats are totally and completely ashamed. When will the citizenry turn on the party and the administration? Hopefully soon.

They Vote, Why Not Checks
Precinct lines and city limits are just suggestions in Chicago politics, as are mental stability and the ability to breath, when voting for wildly popular politicians. So, it makes perfect sense that dead people are getting checks by the Chicago mafia in DC because they're just paying back their supporters. Hey they're giving auto corporations to the unions. This is only fair.
Dead People Get StimulusChecks
The Santopadres are not alone. The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, says that some of those checks mistakenly went to dead people because the agency had no record of their death. That amounts to between 8,000 and 10,000 checks for millions of dollars.
The feds blame a rushed schedule, because all the checks have to be cut by June. The strange thing is, some of the checks were made out to people -- like Romonini -- who were never even part of the Social Security system.
After they get done with this, the upcoming ACORN census will list millions of inner city imaginary voters. No problem, just send imaginary checks to all the new imaginary voters. Problem solved.

Democrats stop GOP effort to start ethics inquiry
House Democrats on Tuesday stopped a Republican plan to force a campaign finance inquiry that likely would have investigated several influential Democrats. It was the eighth time since late February that the Republican move was halted.
One of the biggest recipients has been the chairman of the defense appropriations subcommittee, Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania.
The vote was 215-182 to stop consideration of a GOP resolution to initiate a House ethics committee inquiry. It called for an investigation into campaign contributions to House lawmakers by recipients of pet project money and their lobbyists.
