Gettin’ Kinda Wiggy Out There

by murphy on February 12, 2009

in 1st 100 Days, 2nd profound question of the day, Happy Song!, O'logo

Strange tidings in all of this burgeoning chaos in D.C. Anyone seen the Stimulus Bill yet that they’re supposed to be voting on tomorrow? House Democrats are CLUELESS. O’Logo doesn’t know what he’s talking about (I know, surprise! right?). The Gregg thing would be kind of funny if it weren’t so damn serious. Laughing at O’logo is actually not very enjoyable after a minute or two.

But THIS is!

BO may be inexperienced, but someone pretty crafty sneaked some dangerous language regarding medical care (among other things) into this socalled stimulous bill that he was promoting.

Interesting snippet:

“One provision creates a National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, “designed to monitor your treatments, to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective,” as a commentary on the Bloomberg news wire reported on Monday.”

Wrong…. According to the Health and Human Services Department’s website, the position of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, contained within HHS, was created by an Executive Order by George W. Bush in 2004.

I finished working on my Womens’ History Month project today. I teach at an elementary school and every morning in March, our students will hear a blurb about a different famous woman over the PA system. Additionally, they will see a full-size photograph of that same woman on the bulletin board when they walk into the school. By the end of the month, we’ll have quite a collection. It was fun and extremely inspiring! The biggest shocker was, when I showed the pictures to some of our admins and office folks (all female), they did not even know who HALF of the women were. If I have my way, that’s going to change.

Interesting quote I happend to received in an email tonight…

Socialist prophecy
Sixty four years ago, Norman Thomas knew what was going to happen to our country in 2009.
Norman Mattoon Thomas (1884-1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America. As the Socialist Party candidate for president, Thomas said this in a 1944 speech:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism,’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”
He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.”

I think Ologo said catapillar would be hiring a lot of “folks” back…not all. Of ocourse, you are correct in that the CEO said there would be more layoffs before any hirig was going to happen. The CEO also said, he didnt want to mislead any of his employees… sounds decent… and by contrast… ologo is a slimy bullshit artist who doesn’t think twice about misleading “folks”.

I was with friends and family in the lounge at the Belliago Hotel in Las Vegas… And, guess what? we were sitting right next to the Corporate officers from Bank of America… And, boy the conversation between them was heated….. And, the Hotel manager was very distrubed by Bo statement….knowing that Las Vegas depends on tourist for their economic survival… Today, while going down for a beverage at the bistro, I over heard the Managers saying to the employees to be extra nice to all of the guest and provide them right away with what they need or request… Well, 45 minutes later and going up to my room…Sure enough I must of passed 8 employees who asked me. “How can I help you” “How are you” “Please let me know if you need anythig” “And, have a very good day”… Never, in my years of Vegas travels has this ever happend…. I do think Las Vegas is aware that Bo is no good!!!!

DWP… I agree… But, the point I think the Mayor of Las Vegas was trying to make is that Bo was taking business away from Las Vegas… So, now they will go somewhere else… And, discourage business from Las Vegas…ie… Don’t come here it is wasteful…Well, Bo was saying it is ok for them to go somewhere else just not las vegas….So, Yes DWP you are right…They shouldn’t go any where… But, we know that is not gonna happen… Now, they will be doing it on the side….

That one is not about the census, but it seems to be the one they are also substituting for the one that’s titled “Star Parker.. and Obama’s birth certificate”

The one you linked to did report that Bank of America gave ACORN 2 million after they received their cut. That burns me up because I was told that BOA did not need a bailout but the gov. wanted them to take the Merrill Lynch bad deal and that’s where the bailout came in. Pay to Play, try to say that over and over fast!

At the news conference Thursday, House Republican leaders announced the formation of a census task force to keep an eye on developments. Republicans displayed a large placard with a 2006 quote from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that read, “If you think redistricting is always partisan and political which it is…it’s going to be on steroids this time.”

“But two key issues dogged Gregg’s nomination since it became public.

1) The Census. Republicans have argued the Obama administration is politicizing the 2010 Census that determines states’ representation in Congress. The White House moving to exert more direct White House control over the Census Bureau by having the director of the Census Bureau report to “White House senior management” as well as to the Commerce secretary. Gregg has opposed additional funding requested for the Census.

2) The $789.5-Billion Stimulus Bill. Republican aides tell me that Gregg was angered that Republicans were “shut out” of the process.

Gregg came to this decision to withdraw from consideration over the last couple days, informed the White House and Senate leaders, and announced his decision today.

Yet, it is an amicable split. Both men have said they admire each other. Gregg said during his news conference today that he still thinks Obama will be a good president, and that he likes his bank plan.

Obama, too, said that he admires Gregg’s independence and thought it would be a plus in the cabinet.

Now, however, it’s an embarrassment to both men.”

So, Bill Clinton has now joined the “bandwagon” saying he wants to muzzle Hannity, Rush, Greta, and Fox News. The problem with the “fairness doctrine” is that it conveniently doesn’t seem to to apply to anything except conservative talk radio and tv.

Maya was right. “When someone tells you who they are believe them.” Obama told us who he is in his pre-election interview with George Stephanopolous. “John McCain never questioned my Muslim faith.” How reckless can Americans be. NO REALLY!

I’ll be calling my Senator Arlan Spector to let him know that voting for this stimulous bill is as uncool as calling Laura Ingraham “young lady” on her radio show. She was right to expose him for selling out the American tax payer for an invite to Obama’s super bowl party. She may not be offended but I am.

Lawmakers say all issues settled in stimulus bill

WASHINGTON – Reluctant to call it quits, key lawmakers bargained into overtime Thursday on the $790 billion economic stimulus legislation before reaching final agreement more than 24 hours after first announcing a deal. Lingering controversy over school-modernization money and a scaled-back tax break for businesses forced a delay in final votes on the legislation. But by nightfall, with Democratic leaders eager for final passage by the weekend, all issues were reported settled.

House leaders announced a vote for Friday, with the Senate to follow later in the day or over the weekend.

Republicans, lined up to vote against the bill, piled on the scorn. “This is not the smart approach,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader. “The taxpayers of today and tomorrow will be left to clean up the mess.”

President Barack Obama delivered what has become a daily call for congressional action, this time from the industrial heartland. With approval of the bill, he said in Peoria, Ill., companies “may be able to start growing again. Rather than cutting jobs, they may be able to create them again.”

Commuter plane crashes into home in upstate NY
Published: 2/13/09, 1:05 AM EDT

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – An emergency director says there have been “multiple fatalities” after a Continental Express plane with 48 people aboard crashed into a suburban Buffalo home and erupted in flames.

Authorities say Flight 3407 from Newark, N.J., hit a house in Clarence around 10:10 p.m. Thursday.

Clarence emergency control director Dave Bissonet says the crash killed one person on the ground and an unknown number of people on the plane.

He says the plane was approaching Buffalo Niagara International Airport, about 10 miles away.

Twelve homes near the crash site have been evacuated.

Continental Airlines says the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 operated by Manassas, Va.-based Colgan Air was operating between Newark Liberty International Airport and Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

SOOO ironic that Juliette posted a play on the Marxist Quote .

“Juliette” is one of my favorite characters – not from Shakespear , but from “Juliette” by the Marquis de Sade . She also commented on the Fact that King Ferdinand was merely feeding the people of his country opium …” Tis opium you feed your people, so that, drugged, they do not feel their hurts, inflicted by you.”
More relevently , she condems the King’s policies (which are scarily similar to Obama’s by saying ,” Though nature lavishes much upon your people, their circumstances are strait. But this is not the effect of their laziness; this general paralysis has its source in your policy which, from maintaining the people in dependence, shuts them out from wealth; their ills are thus rendered beyond remedy, and the political state is in a situation no less grave than the civil government, since it must seek its strength in its very weakness.”

Conatituional Law professor , Obama , apparently is clueless when it comes to ugh … Constitutional law … But , shockingly , the media ignores it …

“This is far from the first time that Barack Obama erred in his understanding of the law. He has a pattern of making similar mistakes, as I pointed out in Barack Obama, Legal Scholar. . This should come as a disappointing surprise. After all, during the campaign we heard about his presidency of the Harvard Law Review, his years as a constitutional law professor (actually, more of a lecturer than a professor) at the renowned University of Chicago Law School, his brilliance. Yet, the mistakes he made — and continues to make — are ignored by many in the mainstream media.

Hope you come back to look here (or maybe Murph can send you this suggestion?)

You should “package” that idea (audio files of blurb, images of women) and sell it to other schools. You will have to obtain the copyright for the images first tho, and I would word the blurbs in a way so they don’t infringe on copyrights either. But I bet once you’ve done that you could sell your “Women’s History Month” educational packet nationwide.

Other thing I would do would be to look for teacher awards you could enter. Sounds like a winning idea!

Finally, for the first, maybe you could seek out some grant $$. PA is big on cultural grants…

We had the fairness doctrine from the Bush war press, if a station had an anti war guest they had to have a pro war guest at the same time. The word always came down from the top to the “news” and the show hosts the “fair” must be there! Kinda like there has never been a SCFP they are puppets too! If the powers that be want to shove it down your throat they get the pres to do it. VIOLA OBUMA!
