Oh no! Obama lied?

But wait, there's more

“ The bill passed despite Republican accusations, which now appear to have been confirmed, that the deal was simply a sly façade before a brutal tax hike on the people. Speaking in the Rose Garden after the bill was passed, President Obama said: 'Everybody is going to have to chip in. It's only fair.'

Larry, Moe, and Curly predict winner of presidential race

“ Lawrence O'Donnell, host of "The Last Word," flatly predicted the re-election of President Barack Obama. Rachel Maddow also named Obama, attributing her pick to a thus-far weak Republican field. But "Hardball" host Chris Matthews waffled, saying Obama's fate will rest largely on the economy as well as his GOP rival. One easy opponent? Mitt Romney, whom Matthews dismissed as "a mood ring." And should Obama be running against Michele Bachmann, Matthews said, "He'll just have a hoot." Lest you forget, O'Donnell  (who replaced Keith Olbermann after testing + for rabies, even by NBC standards)  was the producer and writer for the NBC series The West Wing, or more popularly, The Left Wing.  Last week confused WaPost scribbler Sarah Anne Hughes  wrote:          “ In times of political trouble we turn to the wonkiest television show of all time, Aaron Sorkin’s “The West Wing,” for answers. A scene from the season six episode “In God We Trust” explained the politics behind getting the debt ceiling raised. “So this debt ceiling thing is routine or the end of the world?” Annabeth Schott asks Toby Tony Ziegler. “Both,” he responds. As it turns out, you have MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to thank for this scene. There you have it; A president, national policy, and newspaper scripted by an MSNBC All-Star.  Yes, teleprompters are used. 'Splains everything, Lucy.

Russia gives Obama a titty-twister

“ In one of his recent interviews Mr. Obama said that fifty years ago nobody could imagine Russia and the US as partners. He added that confrontation ended together with the Cold War. ” What a laugh.  Damned near every mentor Barry had, including Gammy, Gampy and Frank Marshall Davis, was certain communism would prevail.  I think what's going on here is the disrespect (they know what the buzz will be over this)  shown to what the view as an a incompetent patsy.

Our Heroes Have Always Been Cowgirls?

Dear Yankee Let me tell you, dryland farming is about as hard as it gets.  When I read that, Perry definitely came up in my estimation.  mary

“Here we go again [...] So please, heed this advice. Rick Perry, as you have no doubt already discovered, is not the easiest man to write about. He is secretive and leery of the media (sometimes to the point of hostility), and he has a strategically valuable knack for being underestimated by his critics. I have been writing about him since the eighties, when he began his career in the Texas Legislature. Along the way I have learned a few things, which I have arranged in this handy list of Eight Points to Keep in Mind When Writing About Rick Perry. [Texas Montly] “ (I've included item titles only) 1. Perry is not George Bush. 2. It’s not a big deal that Perry was once a Democrat. 3. Perry is cannier than you think he is. 4. Texas is not a “weak governor” state. 5. Perry is not a male hair model. 6. Perry is from the middle of nowhere. 7. Perry is an Aggie. 8. Don’t discount the luck factor. So there you have it. In closing, I would like to request that you please do your best to avoid tin-ear clichés about barbecue, cattle, oil, football, and the Alamo. Remember, this is an urban state of 25 million people. We don’t go to sleep at night dreaming of William Barret Travis drawing a line in the sand. We do admire our rural history, as this month’s cover attests, but our vitality is in the cities. Enjoy your visit, best of luck, and please get it right this time. Yours truly, Paul Burka I imagine I'm not the first person to grin at the juxtaposition of "Our Heroes Have Always Been Cowgirls," and the Rick Perry blurb.    Still, this story can only help Perry if enough non-Texans read it.   Thanks mary.

View from a smoky budget battlefield

So, Who Won and Who Lost?

“ Anything can happen, but it appears the GOP is on the verge of pulling off a political victory that may be unprecedented in American history. Republicans may succeed in using the threat of a potential outcome that they themselves acknowledged would lead to national catastrophe as leverage to extract enormous concessions from Democrats, without giving up anything of any significance in return. Not only that, but Republicans — in perhaps the most remarkable example of political up-is-downism in recent memory — cast their willingness to dangle the threat of national crisis as a brave and heroic effort they’d undertaken on behalf of the national interest. Only the threat of national crisis could force the immediate spending cuts supposedly necessary to prevent a far more epic crisis later. [WaPost's Greg Sargent] ” It is admittedly fun to listen to the anguished bleating coming from the left.  Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said early reports of the new deal appeared to be “a sugar-coated Satan sandwich.”  The thing is, Liberals are by virtue of the very DNA that makes them Liberal,  unable to comprehend economics.  Never have, and never will.  So they, along with some non Liberals, viewed this as another action fought over losing or gaining face.  But what did the Dems get for sure?  Well, they wanted  the debt ceiling raised  through the 2012 elections. Harry Reid said that was non-negotiable. “ It guarantees the debt limit will be hiked by $2.4 trillion. Immediately upon enactment of the plan, the Treasury will be granted $400 billion of new borrowing authority, after which President Obama will be allowed to extend the debt limit by $500 billion, subject to a vote of disapproval by Congress. [TPM] WIN.  What Republicans won is entangled in words like: “ That initial $900 billion will be paired with $900 billion of discretionary spending cuts, first identified in a weeks-old bipartisan working group led by Vice President Joe Biden, which will be spread out over 10 years. ” Going into negotiations Speaker Boner was concerned that "discretionary" cuts would come at the expense of the military. and he took that off the table.  Evidently Mitch McConnel gave it back, so now up to one-half  will come out of the military's hide. LOSE What did the Country get for sure?  It's still early, and God knows I only got a C in Econ 244, but it appears we got institutionalized indebtedness and insolvency.  Mommy and Daddy sold the kids for a weekend in Acapulco. There is a different view however ... The debt deal is a rare bipartisan victory for the forces of smaller government.

A White Woman Explains Why She Prefers Black Men How many white men can treat a woman like a lady and ravish her By Susan Crain Bakos No, it's not what you think. “ They look better than white men, they touch and kiss and make love better than white men. Statistically, their penises are only a fraction of an inch bigger on average, but they seem bigger and harder. ” There are other reason given - “ Black men have something white guys don't have anymore: confidence in their masculinity (Tip:  She only dates Liberals.  Count on it) Black men are gentlemen, something else white men no longer are. (Why - you bitch!) With the exception of some Italians, white men don't turn me on anymore. (What was that movie ... Christopher Walken - "Cause you, you're part eggplant?"  Who knew?) On another night in that same bar, a different black man, an artist, knelt and kissed my knees. (My god, I've been on my knees in many a bar.) Black skin is thick and lush, sensuous to the touch, like satin and velvet made flesh.   There's only one patch of skin on a white man's body that remotely compares to nearly every inch of a black man's skin  (I think she's saying Black men feel like a penis.  Or maybe uvula? Very déclassé).  ” At any rate, this is something Susan Crain Brooks is expert in, while I have no experience at all.  I do think that all of this would be a great idea for Myth Busters to tackle.   Kari?  For science?  By the way, That's not Not Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann in the top picture.

In 2010, Lawrence’s real estate market started to show signs of life as tax credits for first-time homebuyers — part of the federal stimulus package — did boost sales. But now as numbers for the first half of 2011 are released, it is clear that Lawrence’s real estate market is no longer stimulated. “The stimulus created an artificial boost for awhile,” said Gary Nuzum, senior vice president of McGrew Real Estate. “We knew it would help us last year, but we also knew it was stealing buyers from us in future years.

Black soldier who loved the flag of Dixie

When Rucker called the roll—A Soldier’s Story Black soldier who loved the flag of Dixie

“ The Confederate flag, which continues to come under attack, was the proud banner of Black, White, Hispanic, Jewish and Native American sons and daughters of Dixie who stood nobly in defense of their homeland and way of life during the War Between the States. Once upon n a time either the Confederate nor the Union Veterans nor their blood stained battle flag needed any defense. The following is one of over 50,000 stories of the Black Confederate Soldier, slave and free, who stood honorably and proudly for Southern Independence, 1861-1865. After the war many of these men attended the reunions of Confederate soldiers including that at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. On August 10, 1905, Amos Rucker, an ex-Confederate soldier and proud member of the United Confederate Veterans, died in Atlanta, Georgia. [full] ” That story caused me to once again revisit Brian Lamb's 1994 interview of late historian Shelby Foote    The Clintons ushered in an era of full-blown confrontation and attack on American culture which persist today,  We are again split into two nations, and one I fear will die with the memory keepers who keep it alive. Foote seems to recognize the trend “ excerpt — When I was a grade school boy in Mississippi, I knew obscene doggerel about Abraham Lincoln, left over from my parents and grandparents. Yankees were despised. When one of them was so unfortunate as to move to Greenville, Mississippi, he was despised. All that stopped. All that's over now, and the great compromise obtains. I wish my black friends could do the same thing. The Illinois senator [Carol Moseley-Braun] who didn't want the Daughters of the Confederacy at Richmond to have a Confederate symbol -- not the battle flag; just a Confederate symbol -- on their stationery, got her fellow senators to disallow it. I do not understand that. That's a violation of the compromise, for example, and it's an arousal of bitterness. But she, along with a great many others, do not want to be reminded. She has every right to want to hide from history if she wants to, but it seems to me she's trying to hide history from us, and that's a mistake ” WATCH

Point-Counterpoint

Point-Counterpoint

But in a phone call Friday evening, McConnell told Reid he wanted the White House at the table and expressed frustration that President Obama had rejected an emerging compromise between the two Senate leaders last weekend. Aides said McConnell expected to speak with administration officials Friday night and tamped down talk of an impasse. But Senate Democratic leaders reacted with outrage, accusing McConnell of blocking a deal. Without such an agreement, Obama warned that the United States stands to lose its sterling AAA credit rating — “not because we didn’t have the capacity to pay our bills. We do. But because we didn’t have a triple-A political system to match our triple-A credit rating.  - Congressional leaders struggle to work out bipartisan debt deal Moody's: Neither debt plan protects the nation's AAA rating The "limited magnitude" of both debt plans put forward by congressional leaders would not put the nation's AAA credit rating back on solid footing, Moody's Investors Service announced Friday. "Reductions of the magnitude now being proposed, if adopted, would likely lead Moody's to adopt a negative outlook on the AAA rating," the credit rating agency said in a new report. "The chances of a significant improvement in the long-term credit profile of the government coming from deficit reductions of the magnitude proposed in either plan are not high."

Leftists Don't Condemn Terrorism

“ [...]  Aside from Kaczynski, (whom he plagiarized without naming), certain parts of Breivik's manifesto read like a source guide to leading conservative writers and bloggers in the Western world. And this is unprecedented. Never before has a terrorist cited so many conservatives to justify his positions. Breivik particularly noted writers who focus on critical examinations of multiculturalism and the dangers emanating from jihadists and the cause of global jihad. He also cited the work of earlier political philosophers and writers including John Stuart Mill, George Orwell, John Locke, Edmund Burke, Winston Churchill and Thomas Jefferson. Breivik's citation of conservative writers, (including myself and many of my friends and colleagues in the US and Europe), has dominated the public discussion of his actions. The leftist dominated Western media - most notably the New York Times -- and the left wing of the blogosphere have used his reliance on their ideological opponents' arguments as a means of blaming the ideas propounded by conservative thinkers and the thinkers themselves for Breivik's heinous acts of murder. For instance, a front page news story in the Times on Monday claimed, "The man accused of the killing spree in Norway was deeply influenced by a small group of American bloggers and writers who have warned for years about the threat from Islam." [...] Before considering the veracity of Sageman's claim, it is worth noting that no similar allegations were leveled by the media or their favored terror experts against Gore in the wake of Lee's hostage taking last year, or in the aftermath of Kaczynski's arrest in 1996. Moreover, Noam Chomsky, Michael Scheuer, Stephen Walt and John Mearshimer, whose writings were endorsed by Osama Bin Laden, have not been accused of responsibility for al Qaeda terrorism. [ John J.
