Saturday Open Thread: April 16, 2011
Sending virtually all Democrats and many Cocktail Party, white-bread-and-cucumber, “this mayo is too spicy” Republicans into a tizzy, Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget passed the House of Representatives yesterday without a single Democrat vote.
The impressively slick website Rep. Ryan is using to promote the budget plan actually has a page for “Setting the Record Straight.” Could it be that Rep. Ryan has discovered that Conservatives are in the majority in America? And that fiscal responsibility is nothing to apologize for?
Let’s hope so.
So, what’s happening in your neck of the woods this weekend?
How are your spring weekends in 2011 different from those in 2008? Or 2007? Are you better off or worse off, during this Golden Age of Hopeychangey Unicorns and Rainbows?

Or could it be that Rep Paul Ryan being a policy wonk is conservative and he understands what is required to bring the USA back into equilibrium.
Jon Huntsman the loser is trying to claim that the White House is afraid of him: http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/15/why-is-hunt...
Did you see Huntsman’s sucking up letters to Obama?:
http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/15/why-is-hunt...
“You are a remarkable leader,” Huntsman wrote to Obama in an Aug. 16, 2009 note, underlining the word “remarkable,” “and it has been a great honor getting to know you.”
The first lesson of brown nosing? Nothing in writing, dude.
Those letters have got to be the best verbal blow jobs anybody could ever deliver! Good gawd da boy was really into it!
I know no where his numbers might be, but he will ALWAYS be behind Mitt! Not meant to imply he will be spending for Mitt either.
Then again nobody ever thought a Muslim could be elected to POTUS either! ha ha fooled us!
Example of Huntsmans professional style of management. He became gov of Ut. Figures he desires different folks in a certain dept. Current employees are met at the door by no less than two state policemen, all ushered into a room, hauled out one at a time, taken to their desks, told to git their personals, escorted out of the office building! FIRED!
Personal direction of jackarse Huntsman!
What a total weirdo. I can't imagine why this guy thinks he even has the slightest chance of winning a nomination. First of all nobody knows who he is…and secondly, he worked for Obama. I mean…seriously.
Exactly the point Bev. The man is a loser and he is up himself if he thinks that he is POTUS material let alone a serious contender for the Republican nomination.
The white house is afraid of him? Wait, I picture a movie….Attack of the KILLER Cucumber and mayo sandwich man….All the suspense of a cocktail party. YAWN!!!!
ROFL at that one Paul. I so very much agree.
I don't know why Huntsman accepted the China gig when everyone else knew it was purely political to keep him from challenging his "boss" in 2012.
Huntsman is one of THEM:
interesting quotes from LSM on squishy leftist Hunstman
"…He's won praise from party elders, including 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain, who called the governor a potentially promising contender in 2012.
Huntsman has earned the respect of Obama's 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, whose election operation helped bring millions of new voters into the Democratic Party.
Plouffe said Huntsman is a Republican who "seems to understand the party has to adjust — not stubbornly believe that everything is OK and it is the country that has to change."
Of the few things I have read about Huntsman, I came to the conclusion of "squish".
He is the wrong man for the job!!
dear Hillbuzz guys…I dont really have anything to say,I am just testing…havent posted anything since you started working on your new site..which I like by the way.
Ryan's website is epic. It i like he found a way to manufacture win in the internet and turn it into text regarding health care policy.
Granted I'm not a huge fan of entitlements in general, but Paul Ryan's plan is, at worst, a good start. And not in the wishy-washy Boehner-esque "baby step" nonsense way.
This weekend I'm just relaxing. There's a tea party rally in Taunton on Tuesday at lunchtime so I plan to head over there. Today is just another Saturday.
Here in East Alabama, we had some frightful storms overnight. I'll be spending the better part of the day chopping up fallen trees. If anyone needs some campfire wood, it's yours for the taking.
Tim
So long as you are safe, and that is important. I did read that the death toll from those storms has been rising. I am sorry to hear that news.
Another day, another example of Obama doing what he excoriated Dubya for doing:
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/04/obama-issues...
Under Obama’s new plans for the interwebs, people will need to show their real identity to use the internet. Trying to use the same idea for voting is not a runner, though:
http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/118675/
How about showing your real identity before you become the potus? What a clown of an administration!
Kevin and HillBuzz readers, I can contribute to the cost of this web site but I need your help. I am a father of 5 in the Dayton, Ohio area and I am a Realtor.
As you know the real estate business is going through some very difficult times and especially in my area. Here is what I can do. If anyone refers me a buyer and they end up actually buying real estate, I will donate to HillBuzz an amount equivalent to one half of my net proceeds from the transaction.
I will provide only to Kevin my personal data so that you/he insures this is an up and up offer.
I have created an email account just for this it is: @woh.rr.com">HBRealtor@woh.rr.com
Kevin if you send me an email with your contact data, I will call or email you with specifics, you tell me how you want to be contacted.
great idea to help match up buyers and sellers – good luck – our friends in the dayton area cannot find buyers to buy their house and relocate as their entire neighborhood is for sale after the largest employers left the area – we have never seen it so bad in Ohio in our lifetimes – that is the story for 2012
If you can share your friends home address, I will follow their progress and if possible help sell the home.
they gave up and will wait for for the glut to clear – which could be years – they will rent it out when forced to relocate
they need to keep an eye out for incoming internation personnel to the WPAFB. Every year there are officers who come to study at AFFIT
% = deficit / GDPThere are 2 variables in that equation.
The percentage is currently at 10%. 2.5 to 3% is considered acceptable. Cutting the deficit in theory will reduce the percentage only if the GDP stays the same or grows. All indications are that that is not happening. In fact, indications are that cutting the deficit will worsen unemployment. However, spending on non-wealth producing projects and infrastructure won't get us there either. Spending has to be on stuff like the Hoover Dam. How many damn times has it paid for itself?
Super high tech military is ok because there is a spin-off effect simular to that we used to get out of NASA before the tree huggers took it over.
The military and its related industries employs more than a million people in and out of uniform. There is a ton of spending that can be cut there but you'd have to have some super interstate project ready to pick up the employment slack.
Sure bet:
Nuclear Power. They don't need Fed money but they do want loan guarantees so the Fed can't switch horses on them like theve done in the past.
Meglev Trains … nation wide (that will come back to haunt some Republicans)
Major water and power projects such as Ralph M Parson's NAWAPA.
All of those projects will pay for themselves in the long run. Wind as an example won't ever pay for itself.
I've read Ryan's resume. Sorry, he ain't capable of undersatnding the real physical dynamics involved here. And, of course, Barack never did and never will.
I'm so excited, I'm seeing "Atlas Shrugged" at 2:30 today. Has anyone else seen it yet? How did they like it?
Just got back. The theater was packed (but not sold out) for the 2:30 show. The movie was good, but it definately wasn't mainstream. I really don't think the average movie viewer would "get it". The production values were really good for a fairly small budget. The acting was perfect. Dagny was just as I pictured her, very determined but kind of cold. I think they could have mainstreamed it if they explained things better. They should have spent a few minutes talking about the history of Taggert railroad. The determined founder, Nate Taggert, Dagny's Great Great Grandfather, and how Dagny admired him. They could have explained the political manuevering a little better, with more drama. But otherwise, it was fine, it will probably have a segmented (but sizable) audience.
Dick Morris recomends that we phone every Freshaman Republican who voted yes on the budget warning them that if they sell out again we will primary them. I think you can forigive once but twice is pushing it. The Speaker of the House is too weak, Obama's people made sure Obama got everything he wants.
Also why on Obama2012's website does it list Biden as the VP candidate. I was sure Obama was going to chuck Biden under the bus. I think he might but a Paul Ryan as a VP pick will make Biden look so dum the Dems will loose.
also who will be the Democratic nominee in 2016, Hillary is not left enougth. I don't see anyone in the Democratic Party who would be a good candidate.
Obama still has plenty of time to get Biden to "bow out" for "health reasons" or "personal reasons." He doesn't need to throw him under the bus until the Democrat Convention in 2012, and that's over a year away. But I think they're waiting to see who the Repubs run before they start messing with the Dem ticket. They need to know WHO to run before they start cutting people off at the knees.
My mother-in-law in Ireland sent us an article about an estate that has been turned into a very exclusive guest house. This estate used to be a school run by the church, and my husband's uncle was a brother there so he and his siblings went there often.
Anyway, it's been converted into a 22 room inn and is the most expensive accommodation in Ireland starting at over 900 euro a night.
Well, get this, my husband just got off the phone with his mother and guess where Obama is staying when he comes to Ireland? You guessed it! My mother-in-law was excited by this development, (they're clueless European socialists….the RTE news there is as biased as it gets). My husband, not so much, since he just sent a large check to the IRS. He told her that he wasn't happy as Obama was costing us a fortune and considering the economy he should be staying in a caravan in a park somewhere. ("caravans" are what we'd call trailers….but not as nice as that).
Once again our tax dollars at work. And you can bet he'll be getting in a few games of golf over there as well, (another very expensive outing!).
I like the idea of Obama staying in a trailer, But we don't want him to prove he's a common man until after 2012.
I think this guy is feeling the heat and he's furiously looking for all of the ways to vacation on the backs of all of the taxpayers. He has to sense that he's on thin ice and he's looking for a face-saving way to get out. But in the mean time, he's going to make the remaining term count for his travel. This country will continue to die in the mean time.
BO and Mo are both Irish, just in time for their homecoming trip…….OMG, Grandma stop spinning!
heck, he should be sleeping on Air Force One!
http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/16/gore-global...
Awww…Just when we thought it was safe Man Pig makes an appearance again. He must be gunning for another billion dollars to buy more beach houses. This is classic communist maneuvering. Use a warm and fuzzy cause to bilk people out of money. He’s been working on this scam since the early 90s when he took over NOAA at NASA. We should all thank Russia for throwing a stick in the spokes of this wheel. The largest scam in world history. Some estimate the global warming scam involves about $60 trillion dollars. The communists have been laundering this money all over the world and it will take a while to dismantle it but we will.
It is a beautiful spring day in Tucson and 4 years ago today, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. On the other side, my house has lost 25% of its value since then.
I'm sorry, but happy birthday to your daughter.:>) The value will come back.
You have your daughter and a roof over your head, you are blessed
Kevin, are you going to the Tea Party to see Gov. Palin speak today? You are sop close to Madison. Would love to hear a report from you all about it!
I listened to her on Palin TV. Here’s the link. http://www.palintv.com/
I saw her speech in Madison and her speech was so A++++ that I still have goose bumps. She was so good and so on the points. If you have any problems with links, try this one. Wow! May the Lord bless her and this country. It is a speech to set as standard for all speeches. She wasn’t reading from a teleprompter, but from her own notes. Things that she spoke about with true meanings.

Anyone seen Atlas Shrugged yet?
Saw it this afternoon. The theater was packed but not soldout. Almost, but not soldout. I liked the movie, but I understand this isn't going to have a "broad" audience. It should have a segmented (but sizable audience). The acting was superb. The actress that played Dagny was excellent!!!
She captured the character perfectly. It looked great for a low budget picture. I think they could have made it more dramatic to make it more interesting, but it was still good. BTW, I heard Andrew Breitbart does a cameo in the anniversary party scene. Also Bob Beckel's brother plays Ellis Wyatt. It's a pretty good performance.
Our family just saw it & loved it. Well, our 17 y.o. DS was a bit underwhelmed, but he hasn't read the book yet & the "ending" of course left him hanging. The theater was a smaller one but completely filled, and everyone clapped as the credits rolled. I certainly hope the film pulls in enough revenue to fund the next one, scheduled for a year from now.
Tammy Bruce and Jedediah Bilah are live tweeting the Sarah Palin speech at Wisconsin Tea Party today. As the Unions and Libs have joked about fomenting some violence while she’s there, it might be interesting to follow along. Noon til 2, I think. Hope all goes well, but I don’t expect it.
I am reading Atlas Shrugged right now. I thought I'd read it before going to see the movie.
Good grief. What a awful book. Don't flame me, but this thing is about 500 pages too long, the characters are one-dimensional, the dialogue is endless, repetitive and phony and when Dagny got to the Colorado "utopia" I actually laughed out loud it was so unbelievable. I am trying to get through the "John Galt speech", the so-called "climax" of the book. I have to say at this point I don't care about any of them or their world anymore. I just want him to get to the point or shut up. It's like getting hit on the head with a hammer.
Don't get me wrong, I think *idea* for the the story itself is important and there are some very good things in this book, but you have to slog through so much "word mud" to get there the journey is unpleasant. I can't help thinking Ayn Rand got paid by the word.
I've read it, took me months, its a very long book. Frankly I wish the movie was out when I was in high school, would have been much easier.
The fountainhead by Rand is a much easier read, I would recommend that.
I'm only two hundred pages in and I agree! well, mostly. It's just SO long. It's really really wordy. I lose myself for a page or two, and it doesn't seem to matter…I didn't miss anything. It's not compelling. but I'm struggling thru, like I was in some kind of class, because I know it's an important book (or supposed to be). So far, though I see where it's going…
I read AtlasShrugged last summer and I,too,got so stuck on John Galt's speech that is spoiled the rest of the novel for me. I only kept reading to be able to say I had read the book.
I loved the first two thirds of the book, but by the last third I was like, “OMG Dagny, learn your freaking lesson already, we all figured this out. Ages ago.” But I still loved it. Read the Fountainhead right after, it’s basically the same story but a little less long. Then again, Ayn Rand wrote some good hawt capitalist sex scenes…
capitalist sex? LOL
I guess the difference is that it is "striving for the best" and not like socialist sex where people have uniforms! LOL!!!
Funny, Funny….Maoist sex.
I had to laugh reading some of the replies. I have read the book three times over the years and never did get through "the speech." I had gotten the point already! I decided that, if the Atlas Shrugged movie comes to my area, I'm going to reach the speech and only the speech before going to the movie. I personally enjoyed the book very much (obviously), but it was way too long. After Ayn Rand had published The Fountainhead, it was so popular that she was encouraged to expound on her philosophy, and Atlas Shrugged was the result. She expounded, all right. And expounded, and expounded ….
Which is why "Anthem" is the best starting point for reading Rand. It gets the same theme out there and it's only about 100 pages long. (I've never made it all the way through the John Galt speech either).
Or for a musical crash course, listen to Rush's "2112". It's essentially "Anthem" set to music.
I kind of agree. I really like the book up to about page 600, then the entire thing seems redundant. You can't help missing the books theme, she practically hits you over the head with it. After she establishes the theme, she should spend time on plot, but she doesn't. Just long winded speeches on already established themes. I still think it's an unbelievably important book.
Gretawire posted a live stream link to the Tea Party w/Sarah Palin rally in WI. The weather is cold and snowy, but these Americans are standing strong and speaking out.

Obama is a deceiver, a dissembler
His Mom trousers are alight
From what pole or banner
Shall they dangle in the night?
What infernal serpent
Has lent him his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Has all his hiding and all his whoppers sprung?
What red devil of mendacity
Grips his sick soul with such tenacity?
Will not one in a nation he so cruelly showers with lies
Be able to put a court order between his empty eyes?
http://hotair.com/archives/2011/04/16/open-thread...
This is an AWESOME Tea Party and it is livestreaming from HotAir. Sarah is about to give her speech. Andrew Breitbart is on now.

johngalt says: 7 @Smokey Behr:
One of those alternative sources of source stock for ethanol is switchgrass. I’ve posted about it previously, although quite a while ago. It is a native american grass of which there is only one planting ever and a continued harvesting. From that point, it merely needs a little additional fertilizer throughout the life of the field one harvests from.
It has been rated by some to provide 1,150 gallons of ethanol per acre, and can be harvested several times per year.
But yields from a grass that only needs to be planted once would deliver an average of 13.1 megajoules of energy as ethanol for every megajoule of petroleum consumed. This means that switchgrass ethanol delivers 540 percent of the energy used to produce it, compared with just roughly 25 percent more energy returned by corn-based ethanol according to the most optimistic studies.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=...
Further, one of the drawbacks of corn-based ethanol is it’s acidity, and due to that, the corrosive nature of it towards metal engine products. This is why certain engines are made specifically for it(“flex-fuel vehicles”), and that trying to run fuel of 15% ethanol destroys the engines of vehicles made in the 90′s or earlier. Switchgrass, however, does not share this same drawback, at least to the extent that corn-based ethanol does.
All in all, switchgrass, to me, seems to be a much better bio-source for ethanol than corn. It’s one drawback, at this point in time, is that it’s a cellulosic material, and that current production plants do not have the ability to process it. Score another point in the bad column for the corn-based crowd, who have obstructed any such non-corn based ethanol plants from being built, particularly in the midwest.
Sarah Palin just gave a great, rousing speech! The cold, snowy weather did not diminish her fire!
Sarah was more awesome than usual….GAME ON!
"The cold, snowy weather did not diminish her fire!" Er, well, yeah. She is from Alaska, you know.
Sarah's speech was rip roaring good fun. She does not shy away from fileting Obama – whether she runs or not, this stump speech needs to be given everywhere. Awesome
OMG! That speech Sarah Palin just gave made me cry. She was THIS close to announcing. I would swear she just did in her sly way. This is a watershed moment for her and for us. This is where the battle begins, Folks!!!
I was crying, too. I loved her reference to how "polarizing" Obama's speech was. I think she must be reading HIllBuzz. She turned the tables on those who say SHE is too polarizing. You betcha! I also loved her ending: GAME ON! Yes, she is running!!!!!!!!!
She needs to use his words against him, word by word. She needs to hold the mirror up, let his words bounce right back on to himself.
we loved Drudge's link to the Reuters story – very funny – with a straight face they said Sarah returned to the political arena after a 2 month absence!
No she returned to their news after 2 months is more like it –
Sarah has ONLY been leading Obama by the nose (unlike our cocktail party) – with daily tweets/ facebook stories, daily speeches, major policy speeches in India and Israel (btw the the only American to publicly support Israel in the last 2 years) – and with daily hit jobs on her and her family.
oh by the way while raising 5 children!! –
yeah Reuters is has been a relatively quiet 2 months for Sarah – but trust and believe – Sarah's speech today in Madison has put all on notice (on both sides – if you are able to tell the difference recently – as we sure as HECK can't)
The redesign is awesome. I'm not getting emails when y'all post now, though…I'll have to figure that out (unless any kind soul would like to help me).
And on another note, I think I actually made fluffy matzo balls!!! I won't be able to tell til Monday evening at seder (cause, there's no cheating in my kitchen) but I see how they're cooking and I'm hopeful!!!!
Will Biden be the VP for the Democrats? I think they would be best with someone else.
But the party has no talent. Obama is the Democratic Party there is no room for anyone else. This is a problem as Bush was the Republican Party and look how much it cost the GOP.
Governor Palin was on fire today in Madison. Watch and enjoy!
http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/04/governor-p...
When you consider the news that inflation has increased for food and fuel, you don't have to go far to make the connection. Competing for the food supply is the production of biofuels. The strategy to convert food to fuel worsens the situation for the cost of fuel and food. You have to hand it to this guy – he knows what will certainly destroy this country.
watch that inflation. The stats are hidden. It is one of the indicators that shows that stagflation is on the way.
Did the union and move-on thugs behave themselves ? On my way to C4P now !
Some great reading from Hot Air.
"So much for the Sputnik moment"
Less than three months ago, President Obama attempted to recast the political debate to support his vision of federal “investments” after watching his party suffer the worst midterm loss in the House in more than 60 years. In his State of the Union speech, Obama called this a “Sputnik moment” that called Americans to action, a call that moved … well, no one, really. Instead, Politico’s Abby Phillip writes that the spending-cut momentum seems to have steamrolled Obama, leaving him to fall back to the defensive, and not playing that terribly well either:
“This is our generation’s Sputnik moment,” Obama said in January. “We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to outinnovate, outeducate and outbuild the rest of the world.”
But in recent weeks, Republicans have shifted the conversation in an entirely different direction. Instead of talking about small increases to select programs, Washington is preoccupied with preserving existing programs from cuts at every turn
As it turns out, the country did face a Sputnik moment, one Obama has completely misread. What galvanized Americans into the space race wasn’t a desire to shoot bright, shiny objects into space, but to protect ourselves from what appeared to be an existential danger of having the Soviets control the air over our country. John Kennedy gave Americans a clear goal and a clear timeline for us to declare victory in this new frontier (to borrow a Kennedy phrase from another context), walking on the moon, which indicated clear control of our security as well as the superiority of free markets and free people.
America faces another existential threat to our way of life, only this time we ourselves are the threat. We have overspent for decades on sweeping social programs that have underdelivered.

It has a 15 minutes video of Sarah’s speech.
"Paul Ryan Is Very Disappointed With The President: ‘Demagoguery Not Solutions’

Same source as above.
Brilliant!!! Any doubters left out there??? 2012 IS ON! Please watch it all – she gives us a glimpse of the Convention Acceptance Speech!
Sarah said today in Madison:
" The 2012 election starts here, start now.""
"Mr. President Game On!"
Sarah took out the "GOP Beltway Politicians" who capitulated and lacked courage as they lied to us repeatedly by returning to "Politics as Usual" after we handed them the November 2010 election of "Historic Proportions" (1) 100 Billion; (2) $61 Billion; (3) 38 Billion; (4) less than $1 Billion; (5) Maybe Now $352 MILLION or LESS! WTF!!!!
but….Listen carefully Boehner/Cantor/McCarthy, and the rest of cocktail party – you know who you are and we know who your are!
Sarah gave the Cocktail Party one last chance stating if they stick to their pledges and our platform "We Have Your Back."
http://biggovernment.com/jjmnolte/2011/04/16/sara...
That whole thing gives me the creeps. Like Revelation creeps. One card/ID that holds all your information that is accessible by the government. They SAY it is a voluntary thing but personally I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Liberals have a way of saying one thing and it being ENTIRELY opposite of they said it was. Sorry, I don't want the government to have ANY of my information. Period.
Wow check out the new web site! Here is my economic analysis about our coming inflation. Yes I am a economics professor, stop laughing at me!
http://usa-wethepeople.com/2011/04/chinese-presid...
High gas prices here, as well as high food prices, are cutting into lifestyle. Someone I know cancelled cable to try to cut back. Not missing much maybe, but left with ABC and NBC news only. I get angry every time the alleged president fires up Air Force One at $68,000 an hour and then talks about shared sacrifice.
How do I get email notification of new posts? Something happened and I'm no getting them.
Did you hear the Larry Elder interview of Bill Ayers? I heard an excerpt and he did not let up on him. I am so ready for somebody to take on Obama. He has had it too easy for far too long.
Oh, I'm sorry. That's what your link was about…..
By the way, I LOVE commenting rule #7- How many of the problems of the world could be solved if more people would just live that out every day?!
I am so glad this was pointed out – I missed it!! Kevin, now I love you Twice for referencing Bill & Ted.
"…whatever their equivalent of red meat is to their far left base."
Arugula at Whole Foods. -Obama
(No offense to the fine folks at Whole Foods… although they do give our son variable shifts that drive him crazy.
)
And I'm sure Obama has some lingering resentment from the out-of-the-blue shellacking Paul Ryan gave him at that healthcare round table discussion. I'd never heard of Paul Ryan before that day, but he wowed me then with how knowledgeable and unbending he was in confronting Obama, et al. with facts. The look on Obama's face at that time said, "You will pay for this." So, I'm sure he has not the slightest regret about embarrassing him and likely has more where that came from.
You just made a very good point as to why Paul Ryan would be singled out. Øbama is one of the most vicious individuals to end up as POTUS. He is a total disgrace.
You know, ever since Donald Trump started going out in the media talking about running for President, I've wondered what in the heck was really going on. I like that he's calling out Obama on some of the things that need to be said, but I don't trust that there isn't a whole other agenda behind this. Why on earth would Donald Trump spend tens of millions of his own money for a job that pays a paltry sum, where he will not be adored by "his peeps," but instead be criticized at every turn? There is something else behind this, and Trump will go away when he has accomplished whatever he was put out front to do. Frankly, if he can legitimize the "birther" movement and FINALLY get Obama's REAL history out in the public eye, he will have accomplished something important.
I don’t take Trump seriously as a candidate. I believe he is out there hitting back at Obama, feeding his own ego. I think once the election gets rolling he’ll drop out and support a candidate he likes. I can’t imagine him taking such a huge step down to become president. It would severely restrict his life….That’s just my feeling about Trump.
