Make the U.S. more like the UK. It's finally out in the open. The Obama Administration wants us to be them. If this was elementary school one upsmanship, there'd be no fight because somebody would be laughed off the playground.
White House invites Tea Party members to challenge it on transparency issues
“I would be thrilled to make this a type of political competition ... to see who can be more radical in their openness, in their data distribution models ... trying to prove to the citizens they can run a better government,” said McLaughlin, a former executive at Google.
He also said he would be “delighted if Republicans started pushing out great open-data models like the Conservatives have in the U.K.”
R not. M 2. R not. M 2. No I'm not. Yes you are.

Harry Reid's Subtle Stab To Scare Women To His Cause
Reid: 'Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive'
No need to scare the women, just show them the facts; if your man is out of work, he's gonna beat you.
Oh, and by the way, my health care reform can help you with that.....

Scott Brown And Voinovich Vote For Reid's 'Jobs' Bill
Two other Republicans, Collins and Snowe of Maine, did so as well, but Ben Nelson (D) of Nebraska voted against it.
Brown stated he was he was an 'independent' voice. Yeah, right. Just like Obama, he appears to have misled the voters. Cryin' George Voinovich, Collins and Snowe have become known for letting their states and the country down on a regular basis.
The fact that they did so for a stripped down bill that can't possible do what it is supposed to do is one problem. The fact that Reid changed the bill and froze out Republicans is another problem. The third, and most important problem, is that these three make what Reid/Obama/Pelosi are doing to America a bi-partisan effort.
Welcome to the 'dumber than a box of rocks' club Scott. You've squandered any good will in an amazingly fast way.

ACORN Restructures For Separate Centers Of Plausible Deniability
Of course Bertha Lewis will remain in the bunker sending out orders and directing where checks should be issued.
ACORN 'dissolved as a national structure'
It's as if Al Capone opened a new chain of whorehouses under the banner of Women for a New Morality.
Oh, and placed a union official on the board, you know, just to keep everything above board concerning illegal payments under the board.
You can call an Edsel a Lincoln, but it's still an Edsel. You can call socialized medicine health care reform, but... But a nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

“Chicago Mafia” - Idealists And Hacks And The Cult Of Political Novices
ChiTown rookies. Dead fish. F*cking retards. Professor Ax. Tax evaders. Serial bower. Ms. Denmark Jarrett. Pedophiles. The Biden boo-boo.
Need more?
How about the ChiTown rookies believe themselves the "Chicago Mafia" and being from Chicago they think it is cute and gives them gravitas.
It is painful to watch an administration so paralyzed from the top down with, needless what Mr. Tingles thinks, Democrats sniping at each other and undermining their President. It is more painful for a fairly homogeneous nation that is losing all faith in our leadership because the leadership has so deeply missed why they were elected.
Jobs? Yes. Health care reform? Not before jobs. Climate care? Not really then and definitely not now. Card check? Not a chance. In short, Obama and ilk thought he was the one whose vision for America would alter and transform America.
America does not wish to be transformed, especially at the price tag that these naive dreamers would exact. To add insult to injury, the administration condescends, their allies in the press openly lie to cover for the administration, and their 'intellectual' counterparts writing on the Internet say that Americans are too stupid to understand issues. These people must be super-Americans, having been produced by America, but are too ignorant to understand that they are calling America stupid but not themselves.
Short of feeling annointed, Obama and friends actually believe their vision of Hope and Change won over America while other dissenting Democrats "realize" the Americans voted against George W. Bush. Neither realize the vote by independents was against the rancor of the Bush years. Rancor that Democrats spread across the streets, state capitals and in the capital of the United States of America. This was from the beginning a formula for disaster.
Is there a shortcut back to the political center for these people. Possibly, but I think they are incapable of achieving it because they're still drinking their own bath water and think it is ambrosia.
America voted itself a loser who won through false advertising and bravado unseen in American politics and the world was oh so proud of Americans for being enlightened. Now that America has seen the contents of the package they bought, they are rejecting it, and the world and our own "intellectuals" are oh so disappointed that we are so stupid.
America will spend much time and money repairing what this administration and its allies in Congress have already done to us, but we will get it done. It is the American way to right wrongs and what is currently being done to America is wrong.

Reid: Health Care Refraud In 60 Days
Scott Brown isn't the conservative that the left wants to make him, but I'm thinking he's not so dumb to:
Reid: Health care reform will pass within 60 days; better than 50-50 Scott Brown votes for jobs bill...
Treating the electorate as petulant children because they want health care reform, but not the one being offered, is a great way to win a battle, but lose the war. Just look to others on the left, such as Green Party candidate Dennis Spisak, who's whipping a dead horse(s) onward to victory.
Will Reid/Pelosi/Obama pass health care reform nefariously? Possibly. Actually, it is the only win possibility for them. If so, it will kill government health care and their agenda for generations.

Chris Matthews: Democrats Totally United?
Just heard Mr. Tingles state that the Demos are like so totally united because Hillary has shown her complete fealty to Obama and Billy has been a good boy, ergo they're all together. Huh?
Evan Bayh. Ahem, he is thinking of actually working in the private sector because if he can create just one job, he will have created more jobs than our current administration has in the last six months.
Health care reform. Now there is a model of being a tight team.
Oh, never mind.

Obama Does Las Vegas Chicago Style
Obama told us not to blow our kids college savings in Vegas. We don't have to, he blew everybody's college fund in Vegas for us, saving us the trip.
OBAMA JACKPOT GIVEAWAY IN VEGAS: $1,500,000,000 HOUSING HELP...
Bribery, aka Chicago love, to the tune $1.5 Billion to forget all the nasty things Obama has said about Las Vegas.
Now Obama says, and let me be clear on this, Obama loves Vegas. But does Vegas love Obama? Or Reid? Or any Democrat? Love is a gamble.

Hard Headed Earnhardt, Sr.
This says it all for me.
"When I stopped, I looked at it and got in the ambulance and looked back over there and I said 'man, the wheels ain't knocked off that car yet,'" Earnhardt said.
"I went back over there and looked at the wheels and I told the guy in the car to fire it up. "It fired up and I said, 'Get out. Unhook me, I've got to go."
"We took off after 'em. You've got to get all the laps you can. That's what we're running for the championship for."
The other Earnhardt, Sr.
From the grandstands, he was beheld as superhuman. And somehow when the fans came close to him, to talk or touch him, they never could quite humanize him. They were skittish. They would grasp their autographs gratefully and hurry away, careful to keep their distance once more.
But if you knew him, really knew the complicated, enormously gruff but deeply compassionate man (oh, how he hated it when his big heart showed in public), risen from the textile mill town of Kannapolis, N.C., with a ninth-grade education . . . if you really knew him, then Ralph Dale Earnhardt was so very, very human, so deeply of the commonfolk who loved him.

Elm Farm Ollie - First Cow To Fly And To Self Serve Inflight Beverage
Elm Farm Ollie (known as "Nellie Jay" and post-flight as "Sky Queen") was the first cow to fly in an airplane, doing so on 18 February 1930, as part of the International Air Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. On the same trip, which covered 72 miles from Bismarck, Missouri, to St. Louis, she also became the first cow milked in flight. This was done ostensibly to allow scientists to observe midair effects on animals, as well as for publicity purposes. A St. Louis newspaper trumpeted her mission as being "to blaze a trail for the transportation of livestock by air."
Obama Establishes Bipartisan National Commission
Today, President Obama will sign an executive order establishing the bipartisan National Commission on Reproductive Responsibility and Reform and announce that Nadya Denise Doud-Suleman Gutierrez (born Natalie Denise Suleman, July 11, 1975) known as Octomom will serve as the Commission's chair.
In other news, President Obama also will establish the bipartisan National Commission on Fisc
al Responsibility and Reform and announce that former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Senate Whip Alan Simpson will serve as the Commission’s co-chairs.

Yvo de Boer Calls It Quits Over Global Warming Scams
U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer to quit in July
CV History
Born in Vienna, Yvo de Boer is married and has 3 children. As the son of a Dutch diplomat, he travelled the world extensively before entering boarding school in the United Kingdom and obtaining a technical degree in social work in the Netherlands.
Deputy Director-General for Environmental Protection
United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UN-HABITAT)
World Business Council on Sustainable Development
Netherlands' negotiator on global warming
Worked on Dutch prison policy and housing
Member China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development
Bureau of the Environment Policy Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development
Advisory Group of the Community Development Carbon Fund of the World Bank
Board of Directors of the Centre for Clean Air Policy
Helped prepare the position of the EU - Kyoto Protocol
Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC
So, Yvo is quitting. How can one quit when one has never really had a job?
More newsworthy is that the Washington Post never once mentioned in the above article about Yvo the apparent scam called global warming that is growing daily with more and more scientists admitting to their false statements, others admitting they're too disorganized to find their proof and even more going on extended holiday far from those asking questions.
To the Washington Post Yvo has just found a "ripe time" to go into the private sector with nonconsensous as the backdrop to his four years of failure. The private sector should run like hell.

Progressive Criminals Are Another Person's Terrorists
Cheney Admits He's A War Criminal
That's the headline over at Progress Ohio. Their 'scoop' is based on Section 2340A of the federal criminal code. Below are the pertinent parts of the interview in which VP Cheney "admitted" he broke said section of the criminal code:
CHENEY: Well, I don't think so, in a sense that it -- if it -- if you interpret that as taking you to the point where all of these people are going to be treated as though they're guilty of individual criminal acts.
I want to come back again to the basic point I tried to make at the outset, John. And up until 9/11, all terrorist attacks were criminal acts. After 9/11, we made the decision that these were acts of war, these were strategic threats to the United States.
Once you make that judgment, then you can use a much broader range of tools, in terms of going after your adversary. You go after those who provide them safe harbor and sanctuary. You go after those who finance and those who provide weapons for them and those who train them. And you treat them as unlawful enemy combatants.
There's a huge distinction here in terms of the kinds of policies you put in place going forward. And what I'm most concerned about isn't so much argument about all the stuff in the past, about what happened to Abdulmutallab or Richard Reid. I think the relevant point is: What are the policies going to be going forward?
And if you're really serious and you believe this is a war and if you believe the greatest threat is a 9/11 with nukes or a 9/11 with a biological agent of some kind, then you have to consider it as a war, you have to consider it as something we may have to deal with tomorrow. You don't want the vice president of the United States running around saying, "Oh, it's not likely to happen."
...
CHENEY: Well, I suppose it depends on which battle you're talking about. I won some; I lost some. I can't...
(CROSSTALK)
KARL: ... waterboarding, clearly, what was your...
CHENEY: I was a big supporter of waterboarding. I was a big supporter of the enhanced interrogation techniques that...
KARL: And you opposed the administration's actions of doing away with waterboarding?
CHENEY: Yes.
Clearly a gray area of admission on Cheney's part. Then there is another problem, the enemy combatants were not criminals, they were/are terrorists being held at a military base, thus they did not fall under the federal criminal code of the United States of America. Ooops.

Zack Space's War On Coal
Oh, he'll attempt a Socratean look and deny it, but his support of Cap and Trade, aka War On Coal, is just one vote amongst many in which he has voted against his constituents.
Below is what Zack bases his votes on concerning fuels like coal:
Effects on the US: A Congressional national assessment on climate change, published in June 2000, predicts:
An average temperature rise of 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, with gentler winters and
more summer heat waves.
More agricultural production and forest growth due
to carbon dioxide fertilization; but loss of coastal wetlands and Alpine
meadows.
More winter rain, with a 10% increase in overall precipitation, but
a 60% increase in the Southwest.
More extreme storms and more pollution
runoff due to rainstorms.
More drought in the Midwest, especially in Kansas
and Colorado; and a 5-foot drop in Great Lakes water levels.
Of course, all these assumptions are based on false science as we've seen. Way to go Zacko.
