EARTHQUAKE 6.0 in Southern Maryland!
Holy Crap! More to come…
What my cousins in California say is true: The scary part is that as it builds, you just don’t know if it will get worse, or when it will stop.
Wow.
MSNBC Suspends Keith Olbermann. But Why Bother?
Think about it. MSNBC suspended Keith Olbermann, for ONE day, ostensibly because he donated to some political candidates – and that would be bad for an so-called political “journalist” to be so blatant as to support a specific political candidate or party. Am I the only one who finds this a bit humorous? I guess the secret’s out… Keith Olbermann is a “secret” liberal, democratic-socialist! Certainly, NBCs “journalistic integrity” forced them to suspend Olbermann. That is the laugh of the day.
MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan Preaches Violent Revolution
From REDSTATE.COM (9-Nov-2010): Meet Dylan Ratigan. If you’ve never heard of him, that’s because he’s a (hardcore liberal) host on MSNBC. He’s also a seditionist… oh, sorry. For the benefit of our readers with public school educations, a ’seditionist’ is somebody who incites armed rebellion against his or her country. Read more on RedState.com…
Temporary versus Permanent Tax Cuts
Eric Cantor
Have you ever wondered what might be wrong with “temporary” tax cuts? Well if you look at the current situation we have now, you’ll see EXACTLY what is wrong. They can expire. Translation: Congress can “lower” your taxes with a VOTE, and they can “RAISE” your taxes without doing anything, without a VOTE.
The Democrats, and for some strange reason I am still a registered Democrat, LOVE THIS. They want CREDIT for voting to lower your taxes, then turn their back and let them go up without being ON THE RECORD.
The public must also pay attention to the Liberal/Progressive “spin machine” as they talk about the upcoming Tax Dilemma. I watched Rachel “Mad-Cow” Maddow, speaking to Republican Minority Whip Eric Cantor, as she desperately tried to portray the upcoming Bush Tax Cuts expiration as something we will have to pay for. “How do you plan to pay for that?”, she said.
Cantor smartly reminded her, and the viewers, that on January 1st, either Tax Rates will “automatically go up”, or they will “stay the same”. There is NO NEW Tax Cut to Pay for. No one, Republicans included, are discussing a new Tax Cut. It is simply the “Current Tax Rate”. The issue on the table is whether current tax rates will stay the same or not.
Maddow however would like the mindless liberals, and anyone who is gullible enough, to think otherwise.
So given all that, the KEY reason why Tax Rates (or the “old Bush Tax Cuts”) should be made “permanent” is because it would then FORCE politicians to VOTE to raise your taxes. There would be nothing “automatic”. If your elected representives wish to raise your taxes, they should have the guts to vote “Yes” and be on record.
Bret Baier’s “20 for 2012″ – A Look at Mitch Daniels
Well I gotta thank Bret Baier for his “12 for 2012” series (that started tonight). I already like Mitch Daniels. Where’s this guy been? I have a lot of hope for 2012 if these are the type of people the Republicans can offer us starting in 2011.
Bret Baeir’s “20 for 2012” will be running for the next 12 nights, highlighting who, I suppose, Bret thinks might be the top possible contenders. Not to let anyone out, he will also have a 13th night to list a few other possible contenders. The people NEED this type of programming, and it is certainly NOT too early.
Petit Family Murderers: May I Cut Both Their Nuts Off?
Cheshire, Conn. Those Fuckers (Pardon my “french”)… As the trial for these two ASSHOLES goes on, I would like to offer my services to cut the nuts off both of them (while they’re awake of course, and ONLY if sanctioned by the Justice Department). One of the daughters was sexually assualted, and they were soaked with gasoline before the house was “set on fire”.
Occasionally, it seems appropriate that the public be allowed to apply “justice” (as the public sees fit). I think this is one of those cases. The number of Americans in line to assist in exacting revenge on these two assholes would be endless (and I would be in it, of course ONLY if permitted by the Justice Department).
Let’s not forget the Petit family. Please pray for them, including the father who must somehow find a way to live with this. He will need our prayers and support.
The Morning After the “Red Tide”, the President is Simply Rambling…
Can he answer a question without taking up 10 minutes? The short answer is “no”. Savannah Guthrie (MSNBC) shockingly asked a tough question (Note: Is MSNBC participating in “journalism” again?), and Mr. Obama took about 10 minutes rambling on and on while pretty much ignoring the gist of the question. To paraphrase, “Do you think the American people disagree with your policies?”
This is basically the News Conference technique Mr. Obama has used, when you’re lucky enough to get a news conference. TAKE UP AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE. Just count the total number of questions asked against the total time of the news conference.
Savannah Guthrie
Any why is he giving a Press Conference at all? Because he is leaving the country in a couple days “for a couple of weeks”. He obviously would like to get re-elected, so he knows how BAD it would look if he simply ran away without saying anything. He simply had no choice.
The News Conference itself is embarrassing. He’s looking clumsy yet articulate, something few people could pull off.
As one reporter mentioned, after Mr. Obama won the Presidency and encountered resistance, he reminded republicans of that fact by saying in gloating fashion, ”We Won.”
What about now? And will this President listen to the real winners of yesterday’s election, “the American People”?
Capitals Dominate Calgary with 6 Goals in 2nd Period as the CAPS Win 7-2!
Happy Halloween! Alex Ovechkin scored TWO goals in 12 seconds, BOTH from the LEFT SIDE face-off circle, and the Capitals went 3-for-3 on the Power Play to lead a 2nd period obliteration of the Calgary Flames. If you weren’t paying too much attention, you might have thought Ovechkin’s second goal was just an “instant replay”.
We’re in the 2nd Intermission with one period to play so it’s not over yet, but it looks like the Capitals will pick up their 7th Win in the Great White North.
The Washington Capitals LEAD 7-2 to start the 3rd Period. Hat Trick for Ovechkin? We’ll see, but it’s unlikely he’ll see an OPEN NET (Pulled Goaltender) at the end of this one.
3rd Period Update: As expected, Boudreau pretty much went with a “20 minute penalty kill” (emphasizing defense as he short shifted every line). The top line, with Ovechkin and Backstrom, also sat out the last 5 minutes as the Capitals and Flames went through the motions and the period ended as it began: Caps Win 7-2.

It will be available on television (similar to MLBTV, Major League Baseball Television). You can also think of it somewhat like Netflix (in it’s ON DEMAND nature).
