500 Tea Party Protesters Storm a Government Building, Take Hostages - Big Journalism
Got your attention?
Good.
Because it seems that unless a story has negative implications for the tea party no one (even Fox News) is going to make a stink about it.

WLS 890AM
Panties are not optional in this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
After making several appearances in tiny skirts without panties, Colombian Miss Universe contestant, Catalina Robayo has been told she must wear underwear during the contest.
It's the culture, stupid!

And so we commemorate an act of war as a “tragic event,” and we retreat to equivocation, cultural self-loathing, and utterly fraudulent misrepresentation about the events of the day.
In the weeks after 9/11, Americans were enjoined to ask, “Why do they hate us?”
A better question is: “Why do they despise us?”
And the quickest way to figure out the answer is to visit the Peace Quilt and the Wish Tree, the Crescent of Embrace and the Hole of Bureaucratic Inertia.

PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe
Blog: PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe
At one point Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.
Lincoln did not join the Republicans until 1856, over two years after the party was founded.
The first Republican convention was held in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854.
Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.
Actually, they did more than yawn; government-funded PBS has altered the transcript of the President's speech, removing the offending comment.

This is the face of one of Obama’s core constituencies.
This is what you voted for when you voted for “hope and change.”
He can’t even curse creatively.

Obama and the lunatic left
KUHNER: Obama and the lunatic left - Washington Times
Any reasonable person would change course - but not Mr. Obama.
He is a big-government liberal who worships at the altar of statism.
The fact that we are broke and can no longer afford his borrow-and-spend policies means nothing.
Like all fanatics, he is disconnected from reality

Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts
Viewpoint: Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts MLive.com
Some recent union contract specifics might be of interest to those who will be paying for the contracts:
A union contract approved by the county board last February included an increase of four paid days off that brought the total paid days off for senior employees to 58. Yes, that's 58 paid days off for the year.
You might note that we have 52 weeks in a year.
Or that 58 days is almost 3 months of work days.

Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard
Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard [Mackinac Center]
The Michigan Legislature created the inevitable land use conflicts by passing a requirement that at least 10 percent of electricity come from renewable sources.
The renewable energy standard was bad policy when it was passed and Michigan residents are just starting to experience the negative consequences of the legislation.
Michigan legislators should repeal the renewable energy standard
Classic bad government.
Create the problem.
Demonize those who were hurt.
Make the problem worse.
Everyone loses except those with tight political connections.
Gimme a break!

Obama blows another billion on green fantasies
KEENE: Obama blows another billion on green fantasies - Washington Times
You see, Mr. Chu and his boss have been there and done that already in California, using tax money to guarantee a massive investment in a company that was going to help usher in a brave, new and a very green world.
That company, Solyndra, declared bankruptcy not 48 hours after Mr. Chu announced his faith in Genesis. Solyndra’s founders managed to procure and eat up roughly half a billion dollars in federally guaranteed loans without making a penny in profit before declaring bankruptcy.

My Way News - Bernanke puzzled by weak consumer spending
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said he's surprised by how cautious consumers have been in the two years since the recession officially ended.
But the Fed chief offered no hints of any steps the Fed would take to boost the weak economy.
Good God, we're led by idiots!

State launches $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign
State launches $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign MLive.com#comments
This week, the state's nearly $2.4 million Pure Michigan fall campaign will hit the airwaves.
The television and radio ads, including seven partner ads, will air regionally and statewide through early October.
The tall ad budget includes $295,000 in funding committed by private sector partners as part of the Travel Michigan Ad Partnership Program
I love the ads and I hear they are effective.
But why is the state funding ads for private businesses?
If the ads are so effective, why wouldn't the private companies run own?
And save the state the money of producing them?

Longshoremen storm Wash. state port, damage RR
Longshoremen storm Wash. state port, damage RR - Yahoo! News
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) —
Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.
No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested.
Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines and spilling grain from car at the EGT terminal, Duscha said.

Anne Jolis: The Other Climate Theory - WSJ.com
Anne Jolis: The Other Climate Theory - WSJ.com: This seems wise: In July, CERN Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer told Die Welt that he was asking his researchers to make the forthcoming cloud-chamber results "clear, however, not to interpret them. This would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate-change debate."
But while the cosmic-ray theory has been ridiculed from the start by those who subscribe to the anthropogenic-warming theory, both Mr. Kirkby and Mr. Svensmark hold that human activity is contributing to climate change. All they question is its importance relative to other, natural factors.
