Getting really worried about that nuclear reactor in Japan . . .
There’s been an explosion at a Japanese nuclear plant:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_japan_earthquake;_ylt=A0wNcwx.5XpNyH0Aj4es0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNqYTB2aWExBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTEwMzEyL2FzX2phcGFuX2VhcnRocXVha2UEY2NvZGUDbW9zdHBvcHVsYXIEY3BvcwMxBHBvcwMyBHB0A2hvbWVfY29rZQRzZWMDeW5fdG9wX3N0b3J5BHNsawNzY2VuZXNvZmRlc3Q-
http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20110312-red-alert-nuclear-meltdown-quake-damaged-japanese-plant
I don’t know if this analysis is correct. If it is it is not a good situation.
From what I read this morning all is ok with the reactor. The explosion was an outer building and the radiation levels are actually falling. This is from Yahoo news and they are not exactly conservative. Ok they are about as left as you can get.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_japan_earthquake
Yes that is correct that the explosion was in the outer building.
There are three reactors that have been damaged by the tsunami.
After the explosion the water began to cool down, so I doubt that there will be a melt-down.
However, it is still serious.
18 black men in east Texas rape an eleven year old Hispanic girl.
The NYT starts talking about what the girl was wearing, and shows deep concern for those paw widdle boyz (showing none for the victim, of course.)
Oh, and the community is apparently wondering what drove them to it:
http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2011/03/12/can-you-guess-the-real-story-behind-the-story/
The NYT deserves to go bankrupt.
Oh, and the only mention of race was to describe the area as a “working class neighbourhood”.
Aaand the Black Panther leader is blaming the Hispanics and referring to the rape as “having sex”.
http://weaselzippers.us/2011/03/11/texas-new-black-panther-leader-justifies-gang-rape-of-11-year-old-hispanic-girl/
This makes me so angry that I could just spit on someone.
This kind of PC reporting is institutionalized. According to the Associated Press style guide (an editor’s bible), there should be NO mention of race in stories, unless there is an overarching reason to mention it. In other words, if 18 whites gang-raped a black girl, the racial factor would be important. When the perps belong to a protected minority, you edit out the racial or ethnic details.
Why is any one protected these days? It’s ridicules, it’s no longer 1960′s. It just gives everyone an excuse something to blame it all on.
But what a dilemma they must face when both sides are their “chosen minorities”. Oh the confusion this must have causes in the newsroom.
This story is sickening – “sex with an 11-year old” WTF
This type of statement could only come from – you guessed it – the Nation Of Islam – always on the wrong side of every issue:
http://www.myfoxhouston.com/video/videoplayer.swf?dppversion=8180Quanell X Stages Rally in Cleveland: MyFoxHOUSTON.com
You know, this rape occurred in my county. The girl knew many of these boys – in fact, she willingly went with some of them when first invited. They weren’t unknown assailants who kidnapped her off the street. She’s hung out and had sexual contact with them before. Also, sad to say since it’s such a horrible reflection on young people today, this girl was already sexually active per her peers. The thought of an 11 year old sexually active makes me puke and wonder why such a young child is trying to find self worth that way. My teen daughter tells me there’s 12 year olds pregnant in our local middle school and come high school time, some are pregnant with second kids. Where are the parents and guardians? That’s the mentality of this small town and community that it’s ok for young teens to have sex and/or get pregnant. Her guardians allowing her to hang out with inappropriate aged boys way before this situation occured contributed to this young naive girl being taken advantage of later since she neither had the mental age nor experience to recognize what kind of trouble could occur. That she was being used.
I want to see the young men all get the prison sentences they deserve.
I’m sorry, but if the girl was having sex with anyone in the neighborhood before, they should all be arrested,have the other little girls point them out. This eleven year old is to young to make rational decisions like having sex, she has been taken advantage of in a big way. It upsets me to read that “she’s hung out with them” or “had sexual contact with them before” based on neighborhood gossip. I was continually sexually assaulted by 2 neighborhood boys, my mother trusted to babysit us, I was ten. I didn’t allow this and felt deep shame for it because I was blamed, even by my little friends, called a whore. What I was was raped by boys, I trusted, in my neighborhood. It took years of counseling to get my head right about my sexual being. Stop blaming the victim.
BTW. The article says these “boys” were “men”.
My molesters were all over seventeen.
So sorry this happened to you. Your perspective to to this story really helps me to understand it more.
you sound just like the Nation of Islam guy in the news-
She CAN’T Legally consent to these adult males.
many of the men were in their 20s – why is a hispanic 11 year-old a throw-away?
just think if it were 18 adult white males with an 11 year old black girl – do you think they would be making excuses that she was already sexually active (which is different than RAPE -which had a legal definition) or she dressed suggestively
“The thought of an 11 year old sexually active makes me puke and wonder why such a young child is trying to find self worth that way.”
You are buying into the idea that this 11 year old girl willingly engaged in sexual activity.
AN 11 YEAR OLD CANNOT CONSENT.
If anyone engaged in sexual conduct with her, at any time, for any reason, under any circumstances, it was ILLEGAL. It is NOT HER FAULT.
And how do you know she wasn’t coerced or intimidated?
I know you ended your post saying you wanted jail for the offenders. That’s good, but your whole post placed blame on the girl and her parents. The ONLY people responsible for gang-raping this girl were the rapists.
As Rush Limbaugh predicted, the MSM is focusing on how the Tsunami will affect Teh Won:
http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/chris-matthews-on-tsunami-was-this-sort.html
Yesterday Hillary said that the coolant had been delivered to Japan. In his press conference Obama announced that the coolant had been delivered.
Well, the coolant has not been delivered:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/11/japan-quake-nuclear-coolant-idUSN1125270120110311
They are either incompetent or outright liars!
They have gone quiet about this because this coolant is extremely valuable and they do not want it falling into the wrong hands. The Administration should never have made any public statements about this. It’s better to say we are doing all we can to assist Japan with any requests they have.
I agree. There seems to be a lot of obfuscation going on.
False dilemna; they’re both.
Liars….
Indy, one is not mutually exclusive of the other.
More intimidation from the unions, gateway has had a lot on that, one of the comments there had a link to this letter which went out to a business

SENT VIA FASCIMILE AND REGULAR MAIL
Dear Mr. Ellis:
As you undoubtedly know, Governor Walker recently proposed a “budget
adjustment bill” to eviscerate public employees’ right to collectively bargain in
Wisconsin. ..
As you also know, Scott Walker did not campaign on this issue when he ran for
office. If he had, we are confident that you would not be listed among his largest
contributors. As such, we are contacting you now to request your support.
The undersigned groups would like your company to publicly oppose Governor
Walker’s efforts to virtually eliminate collective bargaining for public employees in
Wisconsin. While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider this
request, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do not
respond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand with
Governor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters,
and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.
In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining,
please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the
goods and services provided by your company. However, if you join us, we will
do everything in our power to publicly celebrate your partnership in the fight to
preserve the right of public employees to be heard at the bargaining table.
Wisconsin’s public employee unions serve to protect and promote equality and
fairness in the workplace. We hope you will stand with us and publicly share that
ideal.
In the event you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the
executive Director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, Jim Palmer,
at 608.273.3840.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from
you soon.

“Union thugs threatened and harassed a group of tea party patriots yesterday in Merrill, Wisconsin.
The patriots were collecting names to recall Senator Holperin when a mob of union thugs harassed them and ripped up their petition.”
story here http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/03/union-thugs-threaten-harass-wi-tea-partiers-rip-up-their-recall-petition-video/#comments
from a friend here in Rockland county NY
I don’t know if you are aware, but we here in the Clarkstown Central School District are gearing up for a MAJOR fight with our Supervisor — who happens to be the sister-in-law of Maobama’s new Chief of Staff. Citing the need for the schools to shape children into good, tolerant, aware global citizens, she has added to the high school English curriculum a book that is replete with GRAPHIC depictions of hetero and homosexual sex acts, forced oral sex, bestiality and masturbation. Kids these days graduate from high school not knowing how to read, write, do math, or understand science and history. But it’s all good, because they are being taught how to give blow jobs. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
Have you tuned into MTV lately? It’s all sex, from the Real World to the Jersey Shore, it’s sex, drugs and clubbing every night.
Ehhh, I had to read a book in high school English class that had similar stuff in it… didn’t really care much for the book, not because of the sex but just because I didn’t like its writing style. Of course, I knew about the stuff in that book for years- I was a teenager, and especially with TV and the internet, we’re not stupid.
This was in an honors English class. It was assumed at this point that we could read and write (as well as do math, science, history, and other languages). I hardly think the subject matter of the book was a big deal.
Better to worry about the elementary schools, and earlier (pre-schooling, when parents should be teaching their kids themselves). I learned to read by the time I was 2, and I am not a super-genius, my parents just read to me ALL THE TIME. If they get to high school not knowing how to read, barring a mental disability, there are a lot worse problems than the fact that their books talk about *gasp* sex!
So… now the boycott threats… from POLICE unions, no less.
I mean… this is about par for the course for Chicago. Daley’s Chicago mafioso would
be proud of these union thugs.
So what’s with these idiot police here? They were EXEMPT from the bill for crying out loud!
…and NONE of the union people are going to suffer from this bill! It makes it sound
like they are all going into bankruptcy as a result or something.

And this
OBAMA PLAN UNIFIES DEFENSE, HOMELAND SECURITY RESPONSE CAN YOU SPELL
T R E A S O N
The U.S. Secretary of Defense yesterday announced that he’s agreed to a plan that will allow one military commander to be in charge of both State National Guard and each military branch’s reserve forces when they are deployed to respond to domestic emergencies including terrorist attacks, according to Lisa Daniel of the American Forces Press Service.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, along with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Council of Governors — a group President Barack Obama formed in January 2010 to represent all of the states’ governors — signed off on the agreement, known as the Joint Action Plan, during a March 1 Pentagon meeting, Ms. Daniel reported in a statement obtained by the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.
According to the White House press office, the Council will be reviewing such matters as involving the National Guard units of the various States; homeland defense; civil support; synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.
Paul N. Stockton, assistant secretary of defense for homeland security, today called the agreement “a breakthrough” in the military’s ability to effectively respond to domestic emergencies, whether natural or manmade.
“This will be much more efficient, much more effective, and it will be a partnership that never existed before,” Stockton said.
However, some conservatives and libertarians believe this is not a plan to be celebrated, but one that should be closely examined on many levels including the constitutionality of having military forces operating within the United States.
“The plan may sound good on its surface, but it brings up a lot of questions by law enforcement officials and other first responders (firefighters, emergency medical personnel, etc.),” said former police lieutenant Steve Rodgers, who has headed homeland security operations.
The plan creates a dual-status commander for each state, approved by the president and governor, to have simultaneous authority over both National Guard and reserve forces called up to respond to a state emergency, Secretary Stockton said.
According to Stockton, Under the U.S. Constitution, National Guard forces must be under state control for domestic events, and reservists and any active-duty forces must remain in federal control. The dual-status commanders can operate in both the state and federal chains of command without legal changes.
In fact, he added, dual-status commanders have been used before for domestic events that are planned months in advance, such as political party conventions.
State and federal officials realized through the response to Hurricane Katrina, which killed thousands of people and destroyed much of the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts in August 2005, as well as in other natural disasters, that better coordination is needed in emergencies, he said.
“During Katrina, leadership didn’t have an understanding of what was happening on the ground,” Stockton said. “We need a better common operating picture of where the units are, their level of readiness, their response capabilities.”
Commanders also need to know the local area, he said, such as roadway and building capacities.
“This is a whole new way to bring life-saving capabilities to bear,” Stockton said. “Those first 72 hours are precious for saving lives.”
The Joint Action Plan will provide uniformity to plans that vary greatly from state to state, he said, and all dual-status commanders are expected to be appointed and trained by early fall. More than 30 dual-status commanders already have been chosen in key locations, he said.
“That commander is the nexus, the coordinating person to ensure that forces work in collaboration,” he said.
A second aspect of the agreement calls for a legislative change to give the president the authority to call up reservists for domestic emergencies — a change Stockton said is needed to streamline the process.
Currently, if federal forces are needed to augment the Guard, a governor must make the request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, part of the Homeland Security Department, then FEMA must seek the assistance through U.S. Northern Command, which oversees North America and will oversee dual-status commander training, Stockton said.
Most dual-status commanders likely will be National Guard officers with a distinguished record of command experience, he said.
However, nothing was mentioned regarding the “rules of engagement” by guardsmen and reservists during a state of emergency. The lack of substantial information on acceptable and unacceptable actions may create controversy as this plan is promulgated to state and local police and security agencies.
“When the Katrina crisis occurred, the feds thought it more important to collect guns from law-abiding citizens than trying to help those people and protect them,” said NYPD Det. Mike Snopes.
“Personally, this latest announcement is disturbing and I doubt it would be acceptable to the news media and Democrats if the Bush Administration had proposed it,” he said.
OBAMA’S COUNCIL OF GOVERNORS
Although the mainstream media covers most legislation being debated on the floors of both houses of the US Congress, it is the presidential executive orders that are implemented with enormous impact on the lives of American citizens that should be exposed.
For example, in January 2010 President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order thereby creating a Council of Governors to create a working relationship between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect the United States against all types of hazards.
The Council is being touted as a bipartisan endeavor that will be comprised of 10 governors from various states who will be selected by the President to serve two year terms. In selecting the governors to the Council, the White House will solicit input from governors and Governors’ associations. Once chosen, the Council will have no more than five members from the same party and represent the nation as a whole.
“While selected governors will be either Democrats or Republicans, there are no provisions to make certain conservatives and progressives are evenly represented,” said political strategist Mike Baker.
The federal government members of the Council includes the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs, the U.S. Northern Command (NORCOM) Commander, the Commandant of the Coast Guard, and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau within the US Defense Department. The Secretary of Defense will designate an Executive Director for the Council.
The formation of the Council of Governors was required by Section 1822 of the Fiscal Year 2008 National Defense Authorization Act which states, “The President shall establish a bipartisan Council of Governors to advise the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the White House Homeland Security Council on matters related to the National Guard and civil support missions.”
“While the rationale for using the US military domestically had been debated for years, President Barack Obama appears intent on using our military at least until he can create his promised ‘Civilian Security Force’ which he promised would be as big and powerful as the military,” said political strategist Mike Baker

I’ve heard there are towns/cities in California, of all places, that are getting rid of their public sector union (hostage taking) services and contracting them out. The contractors do the job just as well and the towns are saving millions of dollars.
Unions think they are the glue holding towns together, they are not, and there are plenty of unemployed people that would gladly do their jobs without unions to bully them. It is time our communities and politicians find alternative solutions to public sector unions.
What a bunch of babies. I think a lot of them are trying to re-create the situation from the 1960s. But many of the earlier protests were about war, which is an important issue. Whether one agrees with that particular war or not, it will cost thousands of lives, and is something to take very seriously. THIS protest is happening because WI has taken away forced dues payment and given workers the choice on whether or not to pay, limited their collective demanding abilities to prevent/decrease abuses of it, and given them a benefits package more generous than nearly all private workers receive for a very low employee contribution – instead of for free.
I’m oversimplifying, of course, but the civil rights and anti-war protests 40-45 years ago were about important issues. The 2011 protests are mostly whining: “DADDY! HELP! I stole a bunch of toys from the other kids and now Scott the big mean bully stole them from ME and gave them back to their owners!”
I don’t think I’m overstating this: They are crazy mad because this is the wave that will end the Dem party. Unions and Dems have been the big criminal symbiosis for years. Follow the money. They are accurately portraying the stakes here. This is Armageddon.
Did you know that the college is right down the street from the capital in Madison? Most of those protesters were college students and bussed in SEIU workers from Chicago.

well, my grandfather was a police officer and is likely spinning in his grave, I think I will call Mr. Palmer and have a chat…anyone else want to call?
Also, look who signed the letter, call your local fire / police and ask if they support these tactics. I used to contribute $ when called by police / fire associations because I thought my donation went to help families of fallen police/firemen but I refuse to contribute anymore…sad for me but I refuse to risk my donation going to leftist organizations.
Why is LeNa JaBrowski doing the Weekely Republican adress?
Why, is this a sick joke?
The Cocktail party putting Grade A RINO in this position.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1rzQIfDtFg&feature=player_embedded
look at all the ani LeNa JaBrowski’ comments. look that 90% of the people dislike this, other adresses most people like.
I thought she was an Independent now?
This is another finger in the eye of the tea party movement and all who support it by the cocktail party establishment!
First they supported her legally/financially after losing the Republican primary and then failed to support the winner allowing her a second bite at the apple as an Independent!
This is why we stopped giving all money to the Republicans! If a candidate needs it we will give direct to that candidate.
They said they would neutralize the Tea Party and this is another piece of evidence.
Look how they Cocktail Party continues to block true reformers like Reps. Michele Bachmann and Steve King
Our work is never done as long as this Cocktail Party is in charge.
Jabrowski also is against cutting the funding for planned parenthood!
What – was Harry Reid unavailable?
She is an Independent!
btw…remember Sen John Cornyn TX who rushed to Murkowski’s side with Republican financial/legal support against Joe Mille?
Well…he is at it again!…Cornyn is trying to recruit Joe Scarborough to run as a Republican Senate candidate in Florida. First Charlie Crist now Joe Scarborough – who is alleged to play an conservative on a television show?
WTF (Wining The Future)?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/scarborough-for-senate-gop-courts-msnbc-host-for-fla-race/
Cornyn has tpo go in 2014.
I think the Tea Party in Texas will get rid of him.
If a good Senator like KBH gets slaughtered in the primary someone like Cornyn will do very badly.
well she ran against the Republican Party.
At least Snowe and Collins like the Republican party
they do? the Crazy Maine Sisters probably love THIS Cocktail party – as does Murkowski and Scarborough -that is the whole point of what the tea party and the rest of us are trying to make
but do they like conservatives and the tea party – I doubt it
Snowe and Collins may like Murkowski and Murkowski has a more conservative voting record that the Maine sisters.
But Murkowski is far more left wing than both of them. Snowe and Collins have some sort of belief in the free market system.
Murkowski belives in Senators bringing as much pork back to their state as possible.
But Snowe helped elect a GOP Governor and both state houses. Murksowki’s selfishness prevented the Republicans from making gains in the state legislator.
Murkowski dragged the left wing vote out for herself and with that came more elected State Reps and Senators Democrats.
go check their votes for Bush’s 8 years – they routinely took turns with Specter and others being the swing vote to give the DEMS the need votes to filibuster key Bush initiatives- we have a long memory – which is what we need with the Cocktail Party as they like their DEM cousins count on poor memories
She makes me sick.
She says all the pretty words we want to hear about Oil production, but when she walks like she talks, then I’ll believe a word she says, until then she stole an election from Joe Miller in Alaska and she had the democrats there to help her. Those actions say a thousand words to me. She is just a female Senator Spector.
She dragged out the left wing vote so she could keep her seat,
This hurt Republicans down the ticket.

I hope they try to run Morning Joe, the tea party will cream him.
that was a few weeks ago, and yes it was a great effort… he was of course spot on because he understands the history.

I have a question regarding the WI union law. My understanding is that now (for the first time) union membership isn’t going to be mandatory, and that union dues won’t be taken out of the paycheck by the government. The understanding many have on this is that there will be a large number of current members who either choose to leave the union or else not pay the dues (or both).
My question is this: Does anyone else besides me wonder if this is going to only empower the union “thugs”? Every business union has a group of “thugs”. I’m thinking they will be sent out to intimidate those dropping out, and make sure the ones staying in pay their dues. They will become, in essence, “the enforcers” through threats and intimidation or worse. Everyone who has been in Wisconsin a long time knows the Monfils case: http://tinyurl.com/4p2hh83
Does anyone else but me have a bit of fear tingling down their spine at the thought of “unleashing” the union thugs to “enforce”?
Then we will have a lot more teachers writing checks to the unions or writing police reports. Oops, even the police our union workers. Changes are that there are more of them then the enforcers.
I fully expect this to happen. But I’m all in favor of the right to work, so I applaud our governor and legislature for making Wisconsin a de facto “right to work” state. If a large number of public sector workers elect to stop paying union dues, that will mean less money for the union bosses to distribute to democrat candidates in the next election cycle. The thought of it just warms the cockles of my heart.
Yes. This day has been coming for a long time. We have let the thugs gain power for years. The collective bargaining just made it easier for them.
We have to have this battle and fight for our freedom from union bullying, or watch as the “workers of the world” swallow our country. I hope that there are enough independant-minded people among the rank and file union members to realize that they don’t have to be a slave the thugs that run the unions.

I won’t hold my breath waiting for the emergency UN session or human rights group press release
A Palestinian terrorist murdered five members of a family in Samaria while they slept. The victims include an 11-year-old, a 3-year-old and a one-month old.
a little 1 month old?!?!?
what disgusting animal does this?
this is beyond sickening, these people worse than terrorists, if that is possible.
to attack children, a little baby, another little baby, only 3 years old, and then a 11 yr old. this is so heartbreaking, those innocent little babies.
these murderers are evil, pure and utter evil.
here is another story, they stabbed the kids, including the little 3 month old baby. I coudln’t finish reading the article. Absolutely horrific

Obama is as corrupt an individual as has ever come down the pike. There is a scandal brewing in Chicago that has his friends totally scared of being exposed. Do the folks at Hillbuzz have any indication of what that could be?
Excerpted from article with link below:
“You said earlier that Obama was more confident these days though…
He is. Pelosi backed off. Issa appears to have done the same. Holder is holding the line. Information coming out of Chicago is still being limited – clamped down upon. That doesn’t mean they aren’t nervous. They are. Watch the Blagojevich thing – the trial. The deal to be made. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And what happened to Rezko? That’s part of the same deal. A company called Companion Security…Blago, Rezko, the Feds. It’s all brewing – maybe boiling over? Of course the national media is burying all of this. Most of it – that’s partly why we gotta back off. The risk, the exposure, it’s too great. We need help – help that I thought was coming but never fully materialized.
Rezko? That could still be a problem for Obama?
(Laughs) Yeah – do you think? Hell yeah it could be a problem. The guy has been holed up in jail waiting for sentencing. Why? Why so long? Holder’s people are all over that thing – just like Blago. Obama is in the mix of that mess for sure. Does anybody really dispute that? But you see, it’s the Justice Department’s complicity in protecting Obama during the ongoing investigations – talking current crimes here now… that is what can really sink them. Not that there is just bank fraud, RICO laws that were broken, payoffs, intimidations, – that’s all basic Chicago business as usual, right? But now add the White House’s handling of all of that since Obama became President – now you got a presidential scandal. Now you got an investigation that leads to uncovering all of that mess. Now you got grounds to legally go after Holder, Jarrett, and even the President of the United States. Hell, throw in the First Lady too…
So you think President Obama should be impeached?
Impeached? -Expletive- no. That’s too good for him. President Obama should be arrested. What’s that word you used a while back – sedition? Well there you go – that pretty much sums up this whole stinking cesspool of a White House right there. Look, I was suspicious of this guy before – but based on what I was told these past few months…the man, those around him (pauses) …this president is the most corrupt thing to have sat in the White House in our lifetimes. Being part of that campaign in 2008…it makes me sick. Do you understand what I’m saying? Sick. To have played any part in getting him elected…Obama isn’t just incompetent…he’s something else. Something worse. I’ve been around a lot of asshole-arrogant politicians. Plenty of those. Even a few outright criminals. This is different. This is a whole other level of corrupt.
You say Obama is “something else” – something beyond just incompetent or arrogant…
What is he?”

I’m assuming the 1/2 man is BO.
That was my thought.

Another way he does this is to appoint commissions and panels concerning problems the country faces in order to defer the problem (and decision). He also like to defer to the “international community” on foreign policy or the Democratic leadership in the legislature on domestic things. Again, the avoidance of decision making.”…

I’ve only checked into HillBuzz sparsely lately to read the posts and haven’t had time to read the comments. What’s going on with the transfer to WordPress? Where’s Kevin been lately? Thanks.
I’ll try again:
Kudos to whomever composed the “2.5 Men” intro. Whoever said “a picture is worth a thousand words” surely had it in mind.
“2.5 Men,” indeed. Brilliant.
