House Democrats bristle at more bailouts - Washington Times
House Democrats bristle at more bailouts - Washington Times: "House Democrats are balking at an Obama administration plan that would put taxpayers on the hook for up to five years to dismantle any giant financial firm whose failure could repeat last year's Wall Street collapse."
Controversial New Video of Obama’s Pastor
Controversial New Video of Obama’s Pastor: "A new video of Jeremiah Wright has surfaced, showing Barack Obama's pastor of 20 years praising Marxism and discussing his ties to communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua and the Libyan government. Equally important, Wright is being introduced in the video by Robert W. McChesney, co-founder of Free Press, an organization which has come under scrutiny for its links to the Obama Administration and dedication to the transformation and control of the private media in the U.S."

Lindsey Graham's Sordid Self
Lindsey Graham's Sordid Self
"Today, Graham is little more than the ever-eager turn-to guy whenever the hard left needs a squishy sycophant to carry its water through the corridors of Congress.
As evidenced most recently by his teaming up with liberal totem John Kerry to co-author a New York Times op-ed endorsing the highly controversial, disastrously costly cap-and-trade legislation.
As the green web site Grist.com breathlessly enthused:
“It’s hard to overstate the significance of this joint declaration.
It ensures that the Senate bill will be bipartisan.
It demonstrates that there is a pathway to 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.
And it establishes comprehensive energy and climate legislation as the next item on the Senate agenda after health care reform, meaning there is a very real shot at Senate passage prior to Copenhagen.”
In short, in one fell stroke, Graham betrayed scores of his Senate colleagues and tens of millions of Americans who know that the cap-and-trade bill will paralyze American industry and cost the average household as much as $3000 a year"

Chris Christie's Next Case: Who Stole My Election?
"Meanwhile, the Democratic Party in New Jersey is taking advantage of a new loosely written vote-by-mail law to pressure county clerks not to vigorously use signature checks to evaluate the authenticity of absentee ballots, the only verification procedure allowed.
The state has received a flood of 180,000 absentee ballot requests.
On some 3,000 forms the signature doesn't match the one on file with county clerks.
Yet citing concerns that voters would be disenfranchised, Democratic Party lawyer Paul Josephson wrote New Jersey's secretary of state asking her 'to instruct County Clerks not to deny applications on the basis of signature comparison alone.'
Mr. Josephson maintained that county clerks 'may be overworked and are likely not trained in handwriting analysis' and insisted that voters with suspect applications should be allowed to cast provisional ballots.
Those ballots, of course, would then provide a pool of votes that would be subject to litigation in any recount, with the occupant of New Jersey's highest office determined by Florida 2000-style scrutiny of ballot applications."
This is the plan for the ACORN-democrat party EVERYWHERE!
Imagine the nice old ladies at the polling places in ...Detroit or Muskegon Heights et al disputing the signature of a brotha or sista.
It won't happen.
Precincts that used to have 2% turnout are now showing 50%, 97%, 110% turnout.
When will America fight back?

All football losses aren’t the same.
All L’s on the scoreboard aren’t even losses. Some are lessons with long-term payoffs.
Saturday night’s 42-34 whipping by Minnesota was more than a setback for Michigan State.
It was a statement of gross inadequacy - in many ways, the most alarming defeat in Mark Dantonio’s three seasons as head coach of the Spartans.

Marijuana growers upend hard-luck California town
"But locals in Trinity say California law is so permissive that almost anyone can get a doctor's 'recommendation' needed to grow their own marijuana or buy it at dispensaries.
ID cards -- which patients can use as proof they have a physician's recommendation for medicinal cannabis -- are voluntary.
And because state guidelines aren't hard and fast, some doctors recommend that their patients be allowed to grow many more plants than the suggested ceiling."

Mona Shores voters face ballot issues
Mona Shores voters face ballot issues
"Furthermore, if a requested five-year Headlee Amendment override isn’t renewed, Mona Shore could lose nearly $300,000 the first year in nonhomestead property tax collections, according to ballot language. Districts where overall property values rise faster than inflation cannot levy the full 18 mills unless voters agree to waive the effects of the Headlee Amendment, which restricts property tax collections to the rate of inflation.
Mona Shores is asking voters to approve a renewal of 18 mills on nonhomestead property for five years, which would raise $5,430,232 the first year.
The separate Headlee override, levied only as needed, would permit the district to levy up to 1 mill for five years. It would raise an estimated $294,076 the first year."

"The health of the Lockerbie bomber has 'not deteriorated' since his release from prison three months ago – despite doctors' assessments that he would have died by now, a senior source has told The Sunday Telegraph."

Multiculturalists diminish 'rough beast' ravaging Islam
"Paraphrasing William Butler Yeats, Mansur contends that Islam is in the grips of a 'rough beast' that has let loose anarchy upon the world.
He traces the problem back to the earliest days of Islam, when perverse Muslim rulers renounced the peaceful teachings of the Qu'ran by slaughtering each other in a bloody struggle for political power following the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632."

French Ideal of Bicycle-Sharing Meets Reality - NYTimes.com
French Ideal of Bicycle-Sharing Meets Reality
"Just as Le Corbusier’s white cruciform towers once excited visions of the industrial-age city of the future, so Vélib’, Paris’s bicycle rental system, inspired a new urban ethos for the era of climate change.
Renters of Vélib' bicycles in Paris say it can be a challenge to find functioning ones among those that have been vandalized.
In Paris 80 percent of Vélib' bicycles are stolen or damaged.
Residents here can rent a sturdy bicycle from hundreds of public stations and pedal to their destinations, an inexpensive, healthy and low-carbon alternative to hopping in a car or bus.
But this latest French utopia has met a prosaic reality: Many of the specially designed bikes, which cost $3,500 each, are showing up on black markets in Eastern Europe and northern Africa.
Many others are being spirited away for urban joy rides, then ditched by roadsides, their wheels bent and tires stripped.
With 80 percent of the initial 20,600 bicycles stolen or damaged, the program’s organizers have had to hire several hundred people just to fix them. And along with the dent in the city-subsidized budget has been a blow to the Parisian psyche."
What do you bet this "brilliant" idea is coming to a US city near you soon.....probably with "stimulus" dollars.
