"The question is where they actually serious, or just a bunch of guys beating their chests and issuing rants?' said Jerry Flynn, his court-appointed attorney.
'There are a lot of allegations with very little proof.'"
I suspect this big media event was contrived by the Obama administration and all those big mouth fools will go free.
And soon.
And the liberal MSM will provide excuses for BarryO and his feddies.
This country has really been turned upside down!

"The winds howled.
The sky was purple-black.
A young Tom Izzo pulled his car off the highway, got out and did what they had told him to do:
He crawled under the car for safety.
There, beneath the chassis, pressed against the earth, he prayed, 'Dear Lord, don't let me die here.'
He was a man against the elements, Tom vs. Tornado, a stranger in a strange land ..."

"David Farhat, a former Muskegon County state representative, is exiting the race for the 34th state Senate District and turning his attention to helping a West Michigan candidate for governor."
Good for Dave and Pete.
Bad for us Muskegon voters.
Dave would have been an excellent senator.

Protecting Public Pensions
Protecting Public Pensions
"The city of Evanston, Illinois is a suburban municipality located directly north of the city of Chicago and has approximately 74,000 residents.
This city has had a long history of underfunding its police and fire pension plans and it still dealing with these problems today despite prior litigation.
The underfunding of the police and fire pension plans continually worsened with the City now facing a $159 million unfunded accrued liability for the police and fire pension plans with plan assets covering only 42% of the benefits owed.
To put these figures in context, the unfunded liability is about $2,000 per Evanston resident or $4,500 per household."

4 dead in Southeast DC drive-by shooting
4 dead in Southeast DC drive-by shooting
"The shooting victims are six men and three women. Most are in their 20s and 30s. One is a teen."
It's obvious we've lost the war against crime and criminal government in DC.
Isn't it time we considered pulling our troops and police out of harms way?

: "Go to Sleep, Wake up a Pod
I am catching on to this new year-old society; I think I am at least.
Paying an underwater mortgage is sort of what wealthy and dubious people do; defaulting on one is proof of legitimate victimhood.
There is no more immigration law — unless you are a foolish German, Russian, or Aussie who overstays his visa without claim on a proper -ism.
Budgeting for your private health care plan is proof of privilege; a maxed out credit card is better proof of corporate conspiracy.
And paying no federal income taxes is evidence that you belong to the good 50% of Americans — or are mega-rich, savvy, and able enough to pay on your income instead at the capital gains rate.
There is no more interest on your meager passbook account; just on your mortgage: you pay the bank 5% for a house loan; they pay you a tenth of that at .5% for having $10,000 in your savings.
They are dubbed “evil” by Washington and given more perks and latitude than ever before.
You are to pay higher local, state, federal, payroll, and heath care taxes, with the assumptions that you will not help to pay down the debt and you, the greedy bastard, should pay even more taxes than you do.
Wake up, and get with it, reader: either you are a pod now — or everyone else is."

A Trip Down Memory Lane
A Trip Down Memory Lane
"Not too long ago, taking to the streets to protest your government was considered a patriotic act.
It’s true!
But it seems that publicly airing your grievances stopped being patriotic right around noon on January 20th, 2009.
Once President Obama was sworn in, protesting became incitement to violence.
If you’ve opened up a newspaper or watched a cable news program in the past week or so, you’ve probably seen members of the media painting Tea Party activists as dangerous bigots.
That’s because disagreeing with President Obama on issues like government spending and high taxes makes you a racist, you see.
What’s interesting about the media’s latest freak-out is that there were radicals a-plenty under President Bush.
They protested in the streets.
They talked openly about revolution and killing.
But oddly, the violent imagery used by people claiming to be advocates for peace never registered with the media.
They were too busy fawning over Cindy Sheehan.
Why the difference in coverage?
Did the media cheerlead the protests against President Bush to hurt him politically?
Are they trying to marginalize the increasingly powerful Tea Party movement because they favor President Obama’s agenda?
One thing’s for sure: If there is such a thing as dangerous rhetoric, then the media is at least one president too late in reporting the story.
Don’t believe me?
Well, then let’s take a trip down memory lane..."

And then tell me there is no media bias.
Yeah...right.

"... During the Bush administration, Evan was out in the field with his camera observing protests and interviewing protesters.
He is therefore in a good position to recall the signs and symbols of the left-wing opposition to the Bush administration's post-9/11 national security policies.
How do they compare to the Tea Party protesters expressing their opposition to Barack Obama's program of national socialism?
Evan has now produced a timely new video splicing together footage that he calls 'A trip down memory lane.'
He describes it as four minutes of nonstop examples of violent imagery and extremist rhetoric employed by left-wing anti-Bush protesters.
He writes: 'For some reason, despite it being well documented at the time by me and many others, the media chose to ignore it.'
Indeed."
