Buckwheat, Alfalfa and Obama.
In a stunning display of stupidity and bias MSNBC aired this piece from three morons.
O'DONNELL: Well, I want to play what she said yesterday. Because she did talk to reporters for about eight minutes. Specifically, it's the second sound bite we have here and it is about this dinner. Because she was asked if, in fact, she was heading to this dinner. And the reason it's interesting is because her staff denied to reporters, like myself, that she was actually going to this dinner. And then, she came out and revealed it. Listen to what she had to say about why she wanted to come here to Washington for this dinner.
PALIN: Alfalfa dinner, yes. In fact, that's because President Obama is scheduled to be there. And how often will I have an opportunity to have dinner with the president. I will take up that offer to do so, yeah.
O'DONNELL: Morris, didn't she call him a terrorist on the campaign trail?
MORRIS REID: Well, I think she called him a terrorist among other things. But listen, the woman's hungry. She's got to eat, Norah. We got to feed the woman, don't we.
[ O'DONNELL LAUGHS LOUDLY THROUGHOUT]
REID: You know, she lives in public housing, we got to feed her on the public doll. She got a bridge to nowhere. We love Sarah Palin on the Democratic side. We can't get enough of her.
FEEHREY: You know, Norah, there's nothing like having dinner with 2,000 of your closest friends and the president. So it's going to be a small intimate dinner.
O'DONNELL: However, it is not 2,000 people.
REID: I think -- I don't think she knew -- I think she -- Norah, I think she thought it was just her, and Buckwheat, and Alfalfa, with the president at dinner. She's just clueless, it's ridiculous.
O'DONNELL: Well, she is meeting also with a number of senators, including the Republican leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell, as well as, I think, some -- Senator Snow, there's going to be a private dinner for her at Fred Malik's house. So she is doing a little bit of courting. Many people think that could mean she's gearing up for 2012.
Morris Reid, John Feehery, great to talk to both of you. Thanks so much.
Now, NoraO'Donnell has never been described as the sharpest tool in the shed, but she has to be the only person in DC that didn''t know that Palin was going to the Alfalfa Dinner. That she, Reid and what'shisname got a good chuckle repeating lies about Gov Palin is only indicative of just how brown their noses are. I'd recommend to them that in polite company that they use a Depends as a face mask so as not to offend anyone more than they already do.
Buckwheat, Alfalfa and Obama indeed. A real howler.

Nanna Pelosi NonPartisan
Oh, please.
Nana Nonpartisan:
“I didn’t come here to be partisan. I didn’t come here to be bipartisan. I came here, as did my colleagues, to be nonpartisan, to work for the American people, to do what is in their interest.
The president’s agenda is reflected in this legislation. It’s — I mentioned, some of the priorities that were there about creating jobs, cutting taxes, helping states through this difficult economic time, and to do so in a fiscally sound way.
People vote for what they believe in. Clearly, the Republicans did not believe in the agenda that I just described for you, and that’s probably one of the reasons they voted that way. I think they probably voted their conscience and they couldn’t support that. …
We reached out to the Republicans all along the way, and they know it. And they know it. They were part of the original bill, with the — some of the tax provisions were their suggestions. They had what they asked for in terms of committee mark-up. They had the rule on the floor that gave them plenty of opportunity to make changes. They just didn’t have the ideas that had the support of the majority of the people in the Congress. ”

Obama's Election Signals Full Frontal On Capitalism Worldwide
The pot dots are in high dudgeon world wide over perceived wrongs done them.
At the moment, those on the left here in America have their marching orders to attack Rush Limbaugh and it is humorous to read and hear the dire predictions and see their outrageous puffery from high to low screeching and lectures are coming from mostly unread blogs here in Ohio all the way up to President Obama. All seem to be on the same page, same note, but as usual, all are off key, but feeling mighty empowered by it all. Man the barricades, dudes, the fight is on. Power to the people!!
The unions are sniffing victory in the wind with Mr. Change snugly in the White House and Reid Pelosi in the power palace of poverty. By the way, Congress is just down the street in DC from the marble temples to the working man in which the union leaders are directing their people to express outrage at how corporations have destroyed them. I love the irony that the press, union members themselves, can't seem to see that it is the unions and liberal policy that have caused the whole mess. Defend the market system just to watch the apoplexy attack in a liberal.
Riots in France, the poster child for union absurdity, and Germany caused Guy Ryder, the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), to whine about a time bomb of crisis and other incendiary images to warn of soaring crime. As if a union needs an excuse. His real point is that the unions will get what they want or they will destroy governments and forms of government, especially:
“We are on the road to serious social instability, which could be extremely dangerous in some countries to democracy itself.”
He said: “Davos does not make me at all confident. I don’t see any of the leadership here that is needed to get us out of this crisis . . . There is very little contrition here.”
I'm sure Mr. Ryder feels contrition as he flies first class and rides in his limo.
From Australia we get this twisted spin on economics:
Sharan Burrow, the president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, said that the world was now witnessing the human cost of “casino capitalism” as the impacts of rising unemployment and home repossessions and of plunges in savings and pension funds hit millions of families.
Ms Burrow said: “Why shouldn’t working people be angry? Their money is being used to stabilise the financial system, but it is their wealth, their jobs and the welfare of their children that is being stripped away.”
Ms Burrow might want to take a deep breath and realize that the financial system is their financial system and working together, instead of being adversarial, might help the markets recover. Like that's going to happen. She likes her little perch of power too much.
Mr Ryder, always good for a headline, went further:
However, Mr Ryder issued a blunt assessment of this year’s World Economic Forum. “The certainties that have defined Davos for the past ten years have collapsed,” he said. “We are witnessing the collapse of an entire system of ideas.”
Capitalism is strong. Is it strong enough to face down this worldwide assault? We'll see, but it will be those that won't be bullied that will right the ship in the end, as always. The specter of this 'change' will grow, but who will tell of the horrors in the history of this brave new world in which whole classes of workers sink into despair and a gray gloom as the mechanics of 'change' turn the screw just one more notch, because then it will all work, don't you see?
It's history tragically repeating itself as the purveyors of hope tell tales of human brotherhood uniting in a great revolution where all people are equal. Equally out of work or equally working meaningless nationalized jobs and are equally, but fairly you see, poor.
What a nightmare of unhappiness being dreamed by the unhappy for the rest of us to share that we do not want.

Obama's Serving The World's Most Expensive Steak 'Shameful' and the 'Height of Irresponsibilty'
A tin ear administration spent $170 million on Obama's coronation.
Obama slams Wall Street over bonuses...
'Shameful'...
'Height of irresponsibility'...
Now, the Obama served Waygu steak, costing $100 per steak, at his White House arm twisting session over the need for a stimulus package that America cannot afford, but has to have because Americans are suffering so much. Maybe the champagne was cheap. You know, as an offset.
Japanese steak to address what an American Congress has done to us. Just who is marinated here? I mean we're cooked, but O's admin has to be lubed.
Shoulda been ribs soaked in Jack and rubbed with cane and served with a cold Bud with some serious slaw, baked beans and Chess Pie. Serve that and you can talk the Devil outta his own tail afterwards.
Nice job Barack. Fortunatelt, DC ain't quite yet Chi Town.

Stimulus Package: Socialized Medicine, Socialized Education And Outright Bribery
The Pelosi Obama Reid (POR) stimulus package is an outright power grab to give into the hands of the federal government medical care and public education and entire sections of the voting public into the hands of the Democrat Party.
Morning Bell: The Pelosi-Obama-Reid Trillion Dollar Debt Plan
What Hillary Clinton couldn't do as First Nurse years ago, this bill will make government the default care giver for the unemployed and 3/4's of children in the United States. Recap: socialized medicine.
The bill will place the federal bureaucracy in charge, not parents and local school boards, of our children's education. "The New York Times reports today, the bill will “profoundly change the federal government’s role in education, which has traditionally been the responsibility of state and local government.”" If federal bureaucracy was already in charge we'd have Al Gore's global warming bilge, without any questions, being taught as sound science.
Then you get to the pretty littlebribes baubles, called spending priorities:
$1 billion for Amtrak - a money pit that still can't run on time or full - bring back the smoking cars
$2 billion for child care subsidies - federal control for an early age
$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts - government has ruined the arts
$400 million for global warming research - better to research the coming ice age
$2.5 billion for clean coal - private business could do this for less and faster
$650 million for even more digital TV conversion coupons - 5 years lead up, so postpone and raise cost
$600 million for new government cars - won't save Detroit from Washington
$7 billion for modernizing federal buildings - tear down half of them for new business
$150 million for the Smithsonian - government shouldn't be in there
$54 billion for Economic Office and Small Business Administration programs - what a waste and both proven failures
All of the above programs (and many more not listed) are ineffective and in some cases even harmful to the country and business, but POR wants to throw good money after bad as payback to their people.

Mommy Bloomberg Says 'No More Salt' Serfs
Bloomie just can't help himself. He's going to save the world whether it like it or not.
You like to have a smoke, real french fries or salt? Too freakin bad loser, Bloomie has decided it is the prerogative of his government to stop you from having what you like and has stopped business from catering to their customers. You and business, jeez, what a pair of problems for Bloomie's world. He has it tough enough ruling his minions from his limo and now you're gonna fight him about what your food tastes like? Careful, he'll send you to The Tombs for being unpatriotic, you selfish you-know-whats.
Mayor Bloomberg Declares War On ... Salt
Citizens Revolt, Claim NYC Is Turning Into Nanny State
This is just Mayor Bloomberg's latest health initiative, following on the heels of a smoking ban, a ban on trans fats and forcing restaurants to post the calorie contents.
Now if he could get into doing something about smells, maybe he could buy fabreeze by the gallon or, better yet, just get the bums off the streets.

First, One Must Ask WHY?
This is so wrong on a number of levels.
A 68-year-old diner was in a critical condition with respiratory failure and two others, aged 55 and 69, were in serious condition, Iwase said.
Seven diners in northern Japan fell ill and three were still in hospital today after eating blowfish testicles prepared in a 
restaurant not authorised to serve the poisonous delicacy.
restaurant not authorised to serve the poisonous delicacy. The owner of the restaurant in Tsuruoka city, who is also the chef, had no licence to serve blowfish and was being questioned on suspicion of professional negligence, police official Yoshihito Iwase said.
Iwase said the seven men ordered sashimi and grilled blowfish testicles at the restaurant last night.
Shortly after, they developed limb paralysis and breathing trouble and started to lose consciousness – typical signs of blowfish poisoning – and were rushed to a hospital for 
treatment.
treatment. A 68-year-old diner was in a critical condition with respiratory failure and two others, aged 55 and 69, were in serious condition, Iwase said.
"It's scary. If you go to a decent-looking restaurant that serves fugu, you would assume a cook has a proper fugu license," Iwase said, using the Japanese term for blowfish.
Blowfish poison, called tetrodotoxin, is nearly 100 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide, according to the Ishikawa health service association. Eating it can cause death within an hour and a half.
President Soros
The game changer
By George Soros
In addition, banking regulations need to be internationally co-ordinated. Market regulations should be global as well. National governments also need to co-ordinate their macroeconomic policies in order to avoid wide currency swings and other disruption.
Of course internationalizing our banks would make it far easier for Soros to have a one-stop shopping for short selling currency, a practice he finds so repugnant that he keeps making billions of dollars through it just to show us how wrong it is.
George Soros, who broke the Bank of England through short selling, who financed BDS to the tune of $23, 581,000 and a convicted felon for insider trading, may be the president behind the president. Obama, through a spokesman, repudiated Soros on his anti-Israel comments, but kept on meeting and talking with Soros and, of course, kept accepting Soros money and support either directly or indirectly through the multitude of Soros fronts such as MoveOn.org. Obama also had a Soros associate, Jim Johnson Vice Chairman of Perseus, to guide the search for Obama's Vice President.
Soros has been more than just a sugar daddy for liberal causes in the Democrat Party. He has bee the driving force to reshape the party by buying it by, first; drying up donations by individuals to the party then forcing the cash strapped Democrat Party to bow to his wishes to regain the money through restarted donations, 527's that can end run the rule against foreign money and, second; to regain momentum with boots-on-the-ground workers from the 527s and unions and, three; to finally accept direction from the Soros backed groups as well as staff their party and campaigns with Soros people.
Soros owns the Democrat Party, they are now a subsidiary of his thus he owns the Democrat led Congress and Obama.
The top seven groups funding and directing the Democrat Party:
Democrat core groups:
1. America Coming Together funded by George Soros, Peter Lewis & unions
2. America Votes funded by George Soros, Peter Lewis & Herb Sandler
3. Center for American Progress funded by George Soros, Peter Lewis, Steve Bing & Herb Sandler
4. Joint Victory Campaign 2004 funded by George Soros, Peter B. Lewis, Steve Bing, Linda Pritzker, Dan Lewis, Agnes Varis, Herb Sandler, Marion Sandler, S. Daniel Abraham, Harold Snyder, Lewis B. Cullman, Anne Getty Earhart, Marcy Carsey, Susie Tompkins Buell, and Richard Rosenthal.
5. Media Fund funded by Joint Victory Fund (see above)
MoveOn.org funded by Linda Pritzker, George Soros, Peter B. Lewis
7. Thunder Road Group – A shadow group reported to be the nerve center and strategic leader of all the above listed groups and others.
"The Shadow Party is the real power driving the Democrat machine. It is a network of radicals dedicated to transforming our constitutional republic into a socialist hive. The leader of these radicals is ... George Soros. He has essentially privatized the Democratic Party, bringing it under his personal control. The Shadow Party is the instrument through which he exerts that control. ... It works by siphoning off hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions that would have gone to the Democratic Party in normal times, and putting those contributions at the personal disposal of Mr. Soros. He then uses that money to buy influence and loyalty where he sees fit. In 2003, Soros set up a network of privately-owned groups which acts as a shadow or mirror image of the Party. It performs all the functions we would normally expect the real Democratic Party to perform, such as shaping the Party platform, fielding candidates, running campaigns, and so forth. However, it performs these functions under the private supervision of Mr. Soros and his associates. The Shadow Party derives its power from its ability to raise huge sums of money. By controlling the Democrat purse strings, the Shadow Party can make or break any Democrat candidate by deciding whether or not to fund him. During the 2004 election cycle, the Shadow Party raised more than $300 million for Democrat candidates, prompting one of its operatives, MoveOn PAC director Eli Pariser, to declare, 'Now it’s our party. We bought it, we own it…'
"Soros in 2004 spent some $26 million trying, unsuccessfully, to defeat President Bush’s reelection bid, a task Soros called “the central focus of my life” and “a matter of life and death.” He has likened Republicans generally, and the Bush administration in particular, to “the Nazi and communist regimes” in the sense that they are “all engaged in the politics of fear.” “Indeed,” he wrote in 2006, “the Bush administration has been able to improve on the techniques used by the Nazi and Communist propaganda machines by drawing on the innovations of the advertising and marketing industries.” Soros elaborated on this theme at the January 2007 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he told reporters: “America needs to . . . go through a certain de-Nazification process.”
Soros has been a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton, who, in turn, has long admired Soros and shares many of his agendas. At a 2004 "Take Back America" conference in Washington, DC, Mrs. Clinton introduced Soros with these words:
“Now, among the many people who have stood up and said, ‘I cannot sit by and let this happen to the country I love,’ is George Soros, and I have known George Soros for a long time now, and I first came across his work in the former Soviet Union, in Eastern Europe, when I was privileged to travel there, both on my own and with my husband on behalf of our country. ... [W]e need people like George Soros, who is fearless, and willing to step up when it counts.” (Cited in David Horowitz and Richard Poe, The Shadow Party, p. 53)
In December of 2006, Soros met with Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama in his (Soros') New York office. Soros had previously hosted a fund-raiser for Obama during the latter's 2004 campaign for the Senate. On January 16, 2007, Obama announced the creation of a presidential exploratory committee, and within hours Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign finance laws. Later that week the New York Daily News reported that Soros would back Obama over Senator Hillary Clinton, whom he had supported in the past. Soros' announcement was seen as a repudiation of Clinton's presidential aspirations, though Soros said he would support the New York senator were she to win the Democratic nomination.
President Soros? He is, at least, the power behind the throne and an unelected power who despises the United States of America and capitalism. Does that make Obama the Veep which makes Biden what?

6" of snow on top of 1.5" of ice on top of previous ice and snow is, I have no doubt, pay back for all of Bush's sins to us here in fly over country.
We are all hoping that aLgore's global warming comes to a town near us soon. If so, we will warm up the trucks and drive however far to hopefully get a glimpse of it and, if we're lucky, to make a photograph for the album.
We'll put that photograph right next to Aunt Bertha standing in the shadow of the world's largest peach pie that we made back in aught eight. They'll be keepers for sure.

But When Democrats Were Out Of Power It Was All About Bi-Partisanship
In a very vulgar post a liberal explains how congress should work. It is very simple. All Republicans should just give Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other ultra-liberal party leaders whatever they want. Gee, now wasn't that easy!
Rule by the minority
Forcing Republicans out of power only seems to make them stronger. Obstructionism is what Republicans do best, and they will bring their A-game, for no other reason than making sure Obama accomplishes nothing during his first term. What remains to be seen is whether Obama will really sacrifice liberal principles for the sake of unattainable "bipartisanship."
So, if I have this right, the next time the Republicans are in power, the Democrats will give us everything we want. Things like cutting the federal bureaucracy in half, lower taxes by 20% across the board, get rid of at least two federal departments, tear the book of regulations and BS laws in half and let people be really free of the federal government for a start.
Golly, running the government is easier than we ever thought!

President Bam-Bam Does A Door
Where are all the witty sharpshooters of the left? I mean the guy just, bonk!, walked into a window. No ObaMoron? No McBaMuslim? No BaYuck? How about Chief ObaMaui? slObama? Maybe the WHDoorMan? I know, DuhRock Odumber.
Come on people, Bush only tried to open a locked door, but Obama tried to walk through one, he thought. Where are our favorite progressives now that Oba One Can No Be hasn't built a statue to Stalin. Yet.
Where are our favorite liberals, anarchists and other wittiacs on the left? No Barack Iraq chidings? No Obungler-in-Chief? Come on guys, you know he's disappointing you. Maybe shout out 'No Odumber Newt Deal for Corporations'!
Hey Bam, that's not the door!
It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.
Doors didn't open automatically for Obama’s predecessor either. While making a hasty exit from a 2005 press conference in Beijing, former President George W. Bush tugged on the handles of a door, only to find it locked.
Bush laughed off the blunder, but the pictures still live on as part of Bush's lame duck legacy. However, there was little note taken of Obama's rookie mistake.
Come on you wittards of the left, you can still have BDS. Just tweak it to Barack Derangement Syndrome. It'll work. Besides, it'll give you hours of fun to relive those side splitting conversations with your friends, comrades and family with the original BDS. Anyway, it appears you're going to have some big disappointments,so buck up and keep on trying to kick a man that doesn't give a damn if your alive or not!!
Maybe BaWhackyoBam?

Ahmadinejad:Portrait Of A Madman Or A Fool
AHMADINEJAD SAYS USA MUST APOLOGIZE TO IRAN OVER PAST ACTIONS...
Change means ending support for 'Zionists'..
Holocaust a 'big lie': Iran govt spokesman...
Chairman Short has heard the call of 'change' in America. While building nuclear weapons Mini-Mahmoud still has time to make sure people are stoned to death, have hands cut off and that Jews, gays and other infidels know of his hatred. Has he specifically named little old Lutheran ladies as a danger to Islam? Probably, it's that punch they drink.
Apologize? Yeah, we'll get right on that. Oh wait, Obama is probably planning to show up on your doorstep with one and a box of your favorite cookies.
End support for Israel? Sure, if you really mean Islam demands it, but how convenient, eh? Admit it, you still have dreams of a little used camel market on that trade route outside Hirbet Qeiyafa. Go on little guy, you can still dream.
Holocaust a lie? You betcha, especially since your good buddy, David Duke, says so. You guys look so cute with your pointy little hoods and the Nazi corsets underneath. More than just your dreams start to sag with age.
What is really sad is that people like Obama and his wonderful Sec. of State think they can talk to creeps like this. Maybe Hill heard Ahmadinejad exhale.

SOS Clinton Says World Telling Her Obama Heard Their SOS Of Despair Over Bush
Bill never inhaled, but now we have proof that Hill did.
Clinton says world "exhaling" with Obama at top
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested on Tuesday the world was breathing a sigh of relief that President Barack Obama had replaced George W. Bush and was working to fix the damage he had caused.
In her first news conference as top U.S. diplomat, Clinton said excitement over the change in power was "reinforced time and time again" during her welcome calls in recent days with foreign counterparts.
"There is a great exhalation of breath going on in the world as people express their appreciation for the new direction that's being set and the team that is put together by the president," Clinton said.
"We have a lot of damage to repair."
Let's see, Bush toppled two brutal regimes and freed over 50 million people. I think the damage these 'leaders' are talking about is to their pocket books since they can't sell Iraq and Afghanistan weapons and get kick backs.
As for their appreciation for the new direction and the team Obama has put together it's probably because they appreciate that is again back to business as it was under Clinton and Carter, which is always great for despots.
From their point of view this is good. We wouldn't want some despots in a funky little despair, now would we....

Geithner: Why Would 10 Republicans Vote for Him?
I was enjoying a multiple hour layover in the Atlanta airport when news of the swearing in ofTimothy F. Geithner, of New York, to be Secretary of the Treasury was announced on CNN.
Of the approximately 100 people in the room I couldn't see anyone else that seemed to care that a liar and a crook was just placed in charge of the United States treasury.
Nor did anyone seem to care that 10 Republican senators voted for a guy who says he didn't understand his tax forms, but thought he could be in charge of taxes.
So, which 10 Republicans voted for Obama's indispensable man?
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Crapo (R-ID)
Ensign (R-NV)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hatch (R-UT)
Shelby (R-AL)
Snowe (R-ME)
Voinovich (R-OH)
These 10 Republicans just gave Obama a pass card to do what he wants. They will help.
Next up will be when the congress finds out for sure if they can roll Obama. Look for the continuing resolution which will be lit up like a Christmas tree with earmarks. If the Obama doesn't veto it, they have him.
Then it will be business as usual for the Democrat controlled congress and Obama. Quid pro quo. With our money and our lives and our rights and freedom.

Democrats Paying Off Their Street
From the beginning of this last presidential campaign the Democrats have promised unions that 'card check' would pass allowing union thuggery to swell their ranks and their bank accounts for the next election. It's a win-win for them. Unethical, yes. Illegal, yes, but who's gonna question them about it now? Obama? Yeah, sure.
Was the same promised such 'community' groups such as Obama's beloved ACORN?
It appears so.
From Congressman John Boehner:
ACORN Could Get Billions from Democrats' Trillion Dollar Spending Plan
"Job Creation" Bill Offers Taxpayer-Funded Bonanza for Organization Reportedly Under Federal Investigation
Washington, Jan 23 - The House Democrats’ trillion dollar spending bill, approved on January 21 by the Appropriations Committee and headed to the House floor next week for a vote, could open billions of taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups like the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN has been accused of perpetrating voter registration fraud numerous times in the last several elections; is reportedly under federal investigation; and played a key role in the irresponsible schemes that caused a financial meltdown that has cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars since last fall.
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and other Republicans are asking a simple question: what does this have to do with job creation? Are Congressional Democrats really going to borrow money from our children and grandchildren to give handouts to ACORN in the name of economic “stimulus?”
Incredibly, the Democrats’ bill makes groups like ACORN eligible for a $4.19 billion pot of money for “neighborhood stabilization activities.” Funds for this purpose were authorized in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, signed into law in 2008. However, these funds were limited to state and local governments. Now House Democrats are taking the unprecedented step of making ACORN and other groups eligible for these funds:
The House Democrats’ trillion dollar spending bill also includes $1 billion for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. CDBG funds are given by the federal government to state and local governments which often contract with nonprofits for services related to the purpose of the grant.
ACORN knows how to secure CDBG funds. Audit reports filed by ACORN’s headquarters with the Office of Management and Budget show that ACORN spent $1,588,599 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds from FY 2003 through FY 2007. It is not clear from these records when or from what source the funds were awarded to ACORN. It is also not clear whether ACORN chapters or affiliates have received CDBG grants on their own.
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) repeatedly urged President George W. Bush and other federal officials to withhold taxpayer funds from ACORN, including $17.2 million in federal grants awarded in December 2008 after numerous allegations of wrongdoing in connection with ACORN’s election activities were reported by the news media.
Leader Boehner also released a study of federal records in October 2008 listing tens of millions in federal grants received by ACORN. A new updated and more expansive study reveals that ACORN has actually received millions more than first thought. A review of the Federal Register and news releases issued by federal agencies showed that ACORN was awarded more than $53 million in taxpayer dollars. This amount does not reflect the millions more ACORN has received in federal block grant funds awarded to state and local agencies which passed them on to ACORN.
Giving this much money to groups like ACORN is like, paraphrasing P. J. O'Rouke, giving alcohol and car keys to the kids. Yeah, we''ll still be the victims of the wreck.

Smudging The Bush White House Is Great Snivelling Smoodge ToThe Left
Via Little Green Footballs:
If one hangs the batwings upside down to make their world appear rightside up, it still means one's world is batty.
Could the White House Use a Good Smudging?
Former President George W. Bush and wife Laura evacuated the White House yesterday, making room for President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their two daughters to move in for the next four (optimistically eight) years. This photo of the White House that was released to the media showcases a manila folder with a Post-It note left behind from George W. Bush for our new president. The folder is supposedly the only thing left behind from the old administration. There has been some speculation about what the contents of the folder might be. But, I'm more concerned about any energetic crud that may still be hanging around inside the house, especially in the living quarters. There are surely lingering energies that could use a good smudging.
It is beneficial to give living spaces a good sage smudging before moving in. The transfer of power from one administration to another in our country is unique. One part of that transfer is Moving Day which coincides with Inauguration Day. Yesterday while all the hoopla was going on with the swearing in ceremony, parade, and such, the White House staff of 93 moved the Bush's belongings out. They then went to work unpacking the Obama famiy's furnishings and clothing. I'm sure the White House staff routinely keep the rooms clean and swept of dust and cobwebs, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Smudging is a purification ritual that not only clears away negative and stagnant energies but will also open up a space, inviting calm and serenity. I periodically give all the rooms in my home a good sweep with a sage wand. I will also sage the mattresses and cushions on our couches and chairs. I simply walk from room to room and sage any places I feel gunk might be hanging out (sink drains, kitchen cabinets, dresser drawers, etc.). If I were moving into a new home I would certainly give it a thorough smudging before moving in any of my belongings. I would sage each room making sure I covered all four corners and also all closets and cubbyholes. I would also sage all entryways, doorways and hallways.

Obama Pimps For Rush
Using the bully pulpit of the presidency Obama has done absolute wonders, in a marketing sense, for Rush Limbaugh.
PREZ ZINGS GOP FOE IN A $TIMULATING TALK
President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
Obama seemed to miss that part of journalism that states, 'I don't care what you say about me. Just spell my name right.' I am sure that the venerated Air America would love this type of exposure, especially their 3 listeners and sponsors.
In response to the Obama:
"You know, I'm concerned about the size of the package. And I'm concerned about some of the spending that's in there, [about] ... how you can spend hundreds of millions on contraceptives," House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) later said.
"How does that stimulate the economy?"
It has not been confirmed that this is the same room where Bill Clinton discussed stimulation, but it is rumored that Hillary applauded the move by the administration as a village resolution to raise a Republican.

WP: Bush's War On Terror Has Sudden End
News as editorial as a rule of thumb means lower earnings and huge debt.There used to be a joke in the 80's about the honesty of the Washington Post that said one had to double check the box scores listed in the paper with another source. Things don't change much.
Obama To Republicans: 'You Lost'
Obama to GOP: 'I won'
During a morning meeting with congressional leaders from both parties, President Obama acknowledged the philosophical differences between his stimulus package and the Republican plan – but, sources familiar with the conversation said, Obama then noted: “I won.” The exchange arose as top House and Senate Republicans expressed concern to the president about the amount of spending in the package. They also raised concerns about a refundable tax credit that returns money to those who don’t pay income taxes, the sources said.
Did Obama just boast he had 'political capital'?

Self Interrupted Blogger Want The SS on Bizzy Blog's Rear End
Tom Blumer and I have not always agreed, but I have admired his tenacity and his insight in many matters. That self proclaimed Interrupted Blogger, Tim Russo, has decided that Tom needs to be checked out by the secret service for his thoughts.
Russo is the man that has repeatedly said that he was arrested because he "had a thought in my head about having sex with a 13 year old boy." A thought.
.
Russo says that he really didn't do anything wrong, in fact just a thought that "a federal agent milked until the point I was arrested for that thought" implying he shouldn't have been arrested by a jack-boot thug for mere thought. Thought he maintains is not a crime, but he wants to make the thoughts of others a crime. He wants Blumer watched by the Secret Service and then arrested for political thought.
.
I think Blumer is doing an excellent job of connecting dots. I also think Russo is desperate for some, any spotlight to be shined on him to regain some legitimacy.
.
Good job Tom. Bad move Tim.
