Suspect in Cop Killings Was Out on Street Despite Lengthy Rap Sheet, Sentences - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

This will be the last we hear about Huckabee. He's done for after hearing he commuted this guy's sentence back in 2000. I never really cared much for Huckabee since I heard in the last election he was mocking Fred Thompson, a fellow Christian, on a TV talk show. I had other problems with his record as governor, such as raising taxes, but that was the big one that did it for me. Christians should not mock and impugn other Christians like that and a former pastor should know it. Suspect in Cop Killings Was Out on Street Despite Lengthy Rap Sheet, Sentences - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com: "His criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington, according to The Seattle Times. He had a lengthy prison sentence commuted in 2000 by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who cited Clemmons' youth."

RealClearPolitics - ClimateGate: The Fix is In

Stunning story. You won't see this kind of reporting on network news. The wheels could very well be coming off for Obama and hopefully (cross your fingers) Al Gore. RealClearPolitics - ClimateGate: The Fix is In: "This is an enormous case of organized scientific fraud, but it is not just scientific fraud. It is also a criminal act."

Braley scolds critics of proposed terrorist transfer | GazetteOnline.com: "“I’m keeping an open mind, and doing what I can to protect the interest of my constituents and at the same time learn the facts and educate myself about how this will impact my constituents,” [Braley] said." Dear Rep. Braley, YOU ARE NOT MY DADDY! I don't need you to protect me, we have a fine military to do that. I need you to represent me. And you are doing a terrible job. If you think it's so great that this is happening because of a $1 Billion possibly economic impact, then I dare you to lobby for bringing the terrorists to Iowa. I double-dare you.

Air freshener sets off fire alarm in Burlington teachers restroom; Students evacuated to rain | GazetteOnline.com

How do they know it wasn't the odor that someone was trying to cover up that set off the alarm? I mean, I wish we had an "odor alarm" in the restroom here at work. This reminds me of a funny story with my dad. I'll have tell it sometime. Air freshener sets off fire alarm in Burlington teachers restroom; Students evacuated to rain | GazetteOnline.com: "An overly zealous attempt to cover an odor with a spray air freshener Tuesday in a teachers restroom set off a fire alarm at Burlington High School, firefighters suspect. At the sounding of the alarm, students evacuated the school and were forced to wait outside in rainy 45-degree weather. …"

Big Hollywood � Blog Archive � Michael Moore’s ‘Capitalism’ Flops: Even Liberals Stay Away in Droves

Looks like Michael Moore is going out with a whimper. Big Hollywood � Blog Archive � Michael Moore’s ‘Capitalism’ Flops: Even Liberals Stay Away in Droves: "After peaking with a near $120 million domestic take for “Fahrenheit 9/11″ in 2004, Moore’s subsequent fall from box-office grace has been sharp. 2007’s “Sicko” cleared a disappointing but respectable $24.5 million, “Captain Mike Across America” was so sure to lose money Moore ended up distributing his ego trip for free under the guise of a populist giveaway, and now “Capitalism” — which was about as timely as one could hope — makes about two-thirds of what ”Sicko” did and is unlikely to do very well in foreign markets."

Iowa GOP calls for Dems to oppose terrorist transfer to Midwest | GazetteOnline.com

Iowa GOP calls for Dems to oppose terrorist transfer to Midwest | GazetteOnline.com I sent emails to all of my representatives some time ago asking what they will do to keep the terrorists out of Iowa. Not one of them replied with a specific answer. Well, now here we are. Little Dick Durbin wants known terrorists to be housed right by the Iowa/Illinois border for the sake of "creating jobs." Obama wants to bring the 9/11 mastermind right to the place where he orchestrated the murder of thousands. I know exactly why he's doing this lunacy. He is going to have Bush officials testify on torture. Brace yourself, it's coming.

A Second SEIU Attack in St. Louis: The Kelly Owens Story

A Second SEIU Attack in St. Louis: The Kelly Owens Story: "We’ve just started to lay the groundwork on the Kenneth Gladney story and the shameful failure of the county prosecutor Bob McCullough to pursue criminal prosecution of SEIU assailants. Left wing blogs, mainstream newspapers, and of course SEIU, having concluded a smear the messenger campaign, have now resorted to a blackout strategy. The first rule of union beatings is you do not talk about union beatings."

Report: AIG CEO ready to quit over pay constraints - Yahoo! News

Report: AIG CEO ready to quit over pay constraints - Yahoo! News: "According to the people cited by the Journal, the former MetLife CEO is frustrated with the constraints of leading a company majority-owned by the government. The newspaper said Benmosche has complained to AIG's board about the outcome of the Treasury Department's pay review which slashed pay for a number of AIG executives by 91 percent from 2008." Oh goody! If they get a 91% pay cut, that must mean I get a 91% pay increase! What? No? I thought that was the point of this? You mean my pay has absolutely nothing to do with AIG executives' pay! Well, then, Obama stinks!

Let's see, if they fast for hunger, then when they get hungrier they will fast more and eventually the problem will solve itself, for us and them.

5 pct. of Americans plan to buy a home next year - Yahoo! News

This is how these guys love to think. A guy gets a pay cut, but man he was so lucky to get a reduction in his mortgage payments to "cushion the blow!" Some days I just want to rip out what little hair I have left. Obama's policies, which double-down on FDR's, will also drag this downturn out for way longer than it had to be. Obama can't seem to figure out that it doesn't help us to have government throw in a trillion dollars because it takes 4 trillion dollars out of our pockets to get there. Government gets it power from our wealth. The conservative way would be to let us keep our wealth rather than steal more of it. 5 pct. of Americans plan to buy a home next year - Yahoo! News: "One of the survey participants, Joe Handley of Harrington, Del., called his lender last December to consolidate a second mortgage and cut his interest rate from 6.75 percent to 5.25 percent. 'We wanted to build up our savings for emergencies,' the 37-year-old said. His timing was prescient. In July, Handley, who works in the information technology department for the State of Delaware, took a pay cut and the $400 monthly savings from the new loan has helped cushion the blow."

Linn health plans could be model for rest of Iowa | GazetteOnline.com

Believe it or not, this is actually considered a positive piece here in Iowa, at least in this area of Iowa, the Liberal Mecca of the Midwest. They can't see anything wrong with stealing liberty from the common man. We're just too stupid for our own good. We need the wizards of smart to protect us from ourselves. Linn health plans could be model for rest of Iowa | GazetteOnline.com: "Imagine easily finding calorie counts posted at restaurants and supermarkets; cigarette sales prohibited from stores where customers buy nicotine patches; unhealthy trans fats banned from restaurants and kids no longer eating candy bars instead of school lunches. Where some might cry foul, or government intrusion, Curtis Dickson, director of Linn County Public Health, sees the road to a healthier state."

Obama signs bill assisting homebuyers, jobless - Yahoo! News

Obama signs bill assisting homebuyers, jobless - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signed a $24 billion economic stimulus bill into law Friday, giving tax incentives to prospective homebuyers and additional jobless benefits to those idled by the business slump." Like I've been saying, Sugar Daddy will take of us all. What's another $24,000,000,000? I mean that's just a measly 1.2% of the budget.

Freddie Mac posts $5 billion loss - Yahoo! News

Freddie Mac posts $5 billion loss - Yahoo! News: "NEW YORK (Reuters) – Freddie Mac (FRE.N) (FRE.P), the second largest provider of U.S. residential mortgage funding, on Friday posted a loss of $5 billion in the third quarter and predicted it would need more government support amid a 'prolonged deterioration' in housing." I'm sure Barney Frank and gang will bail these guys out again. If you are poor and want your own house, don't bother going the traditional methods, such as HUD or Habitat for Humanity, you'll just get a poor man's house going that route. You need to go to the bank and say Barney sent you and voila, you have a mortgage (optional to pay back) for a $250,000+ house. And just for kicks, we (American Taxpayer) will throw in $8000 (costs us only $24000)!

Obama to Sign Bill Extending Homebuyer Credit, Jobless Benefits

Obama to Sign Bill Extending Homebuyer Credit, Jobless Benefits This is simply insane. You can expect that each of these government handouts cost the taxpayer about 4 times what the direct benefit is. In other words, $8,000 for a new home buyer costs the taxpayer $32,000. So for the additional $8,000 being put into the economy, $32,000 is being sucked out of it, a net loss of $24,000. Now Obama can do some accounting tricks to make it look good for awhile, but it's all going to catch up soon. This is what I mean that Obama and the Democrats are pushing us into another Great Depression. We would have been completely recovered by now if nothing at all was done. Instead, they are dragging out the already longest recession. Eventually the "double dip" that's coming will really wake people up. Wait until seniors go to deposit their Social Security checks and they bounce!

Jobless rate tops 10 pct. for first time since '83 - Yahoo! Finance

Hush there. Sugar Daddy Obama will take care of us. The reporter actually claims the economy is growing. The only thing growing by leaps and bounds is the US government. Jobless rate tops 10 pct. for first time since '83 - Yahoo! Finance: "President Barack Obama called the new jobs report another illustration of why much more work is needed to spur business creation and consumer spending. Noting legislation he's signing to provide additional unemployment benefits for laid-off workers, Obama said, 'I will not rest until all Americans who want work can find work.'"

Big Government - Blog Archive - Obama’s Shock Troops: SEIU and Political Intimidation in St. Louis

Big Government - Blog Archive - Obama’s Shock Troops: SEIU and Political Intimidation in St. Louis: "Yesterday, Pastor Himes provided powerful, and courageous, witness to the union violence he and his wife saw in St. Louis on August 6th. They provided strong testament to the union attack on Kenneth Gladney. But, his comments only dealt with the events of that day. Evidence is emerging that the events of that day went far beyond St. Louis and may have been part of a nationally orchestrated campaign to intimidate and silence dissent." I knew stronger violence was going to happen at these town hall meetings. I was somewhat surprised to hear little more occurring. It looks like there is an active cover-up going on. If it's coming out of the white house, I certainly hope it's exposed. I think Breitbart (biggovernment.com) can and will do it.

BBC NEWS | Health | Aspirin 'only for heart patients'

BBC NEWS | Health | Aspirin 'only for heart patients' I guess this is a good headline, as it got me to read the story. The real story is not as outlandish as the headline suggests. They are simply saying for people who have not had a heart attack or stroke that it is not a good idea to take a daily regimen of aspirin as it can cause intestinal bleeding which could be worse for you. I don't think it's much news, but the headline made it seem like aspirin is too dangerous to take except for heart patients. This is another good headline I saw: CRISIS CENTER NEEDS TOILET PAPER

Boehner: Obama Is Out of 'Excuses' in Delaying Afghanistan Troop Decision - FOXNews.com Here's what I think: His decision has already been made. He will increase troop levels as requested. He's delaying a public announcement until after the elections tomorrow and after he gets Obamacare through congress. He knows the ultra-leftists will go bonkers when they find out and he can't afford to lose their support right now. He figuring that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Reserve and Guard activations are already occurring.
