"Congressman Charles Rangel was far from humbled after the ethics committee admonished him for taking corporate-paid Caribbean junkets in violation of the House ethics code.
Rather, the New York Democrat berated the panel’s leaders on the House floor.
The moment was characteristic of Mr. Rangel’s arrogance throughout the investigation"
My gosh!
The New York Times?

"Where's the accountability?
Two years ago, the Democrats and their friends in the liberal media were patting themselves on the back because of a National Intelligence Estimate that baldly stated, 'Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in the fall of 2003.'
This was thought to make President George Bush look bad because he was insisting that Iran was a rogue nation that presented a growing threat in the Mideast and throughout the world"

MSU administrators pull in large raises despite tough economy
MSU administrators pull in large raises despite tough economy
"Even as Michigan State University cuts staff, pares back operating budgets and prepares to shut down some degree programs, a few of the university's top administrators are bringing in big raises.
Three years ago, William Strampel, the dean of MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine was earning $204,568. Today he makes $324,254, an increase of more than 58 percent.
In the same time period, Marsha Rappley, the dean of the College of Human Medicine, has seen her salary jump from $300,000 to $378,521, a raise of more than 26 percent.
And Kim Wilcox, the university's provost, has gone from earning $288,000 to $347,000, a 20 percent increase over three years."

Edwards epilogue: Does the press really vet presidential candidates?
Edwards epilogue: Does the press really vet presidential candidates?
"The revelations about Edwards, contained in two best-selling books, have undermined one of the favorite conceits of political journalism, that the intensive scrutiny given candidates by reporters during a presidential campaign is an excellent filter to determine who is fit for the White House."
Duh...
The press knew all about Slick Willies steaming hot panties and never said a word to the country.
The same Stalinist press stifled Obama's entire life history. Not to mention his well documented associations with leftist icons and his shady voting record as Ill. and US senator.

When a recent conver sation turned to a be leaguered Gov. Paterson, a New York official aimed a barb at journalists.
"How many articles took a close look at Paterson before he became lieutenant governor?" the official asked.
It was a rhetorical question, the answer obvious: approximately none.

Supreme Court scrutinizes state, local gun control
Supreme Court scrutinizes state, local gun control
"Gun control advocates think, if not pray, they can win by losing when the Supreme Court decides whether the constitutional right to possess guns serves as a check on state and local regulation of firearms.
The justices will be deciding whether the Second Amendment - like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights - applies to states as well as the federal government.
It's widely believed they will say it does."
Tuesday is the big day.

Pair of Bandits Steals Chicken Wings From Pizza Delivery Driver in Georgia
Pair of Bandits Steals Chicken Wings From Pizza Delivery Driver in Georgia
"COLUMBUS, Ga. — Police in Georgia are searching for a pair of hungry bandits who stole an order of chicken wings from a pizza delivery driver.
Columbus Police say the 19-year-old Domino's driver was approached outside a home Tuesday night by two men who asked for money.
One of the men pointed a chrome pistol.
Police say one of the men then said, 'give me the wings.'
They fled the scene with the $36 order.
No cash was taken and the driver was not injured."

Exclusive: New Obama Interrogation Unit Not Deployed to Question Captured Taliban Chief - Declassified Blog - Newsweek.com
"for reasons that are unclear, the administration has not deployed HIG personnel to question Afghan Taliban military commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, arguably the most important terrorist suspect captured since the detention of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in spring of 2003."
Those who suggested that Obama's coven of comrades weren't serious about winning the war on terror were ridiculed.
This doesn't look good at all.

"Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) introduced the Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA), S. 3002, which would empower the Food and Drug Administration to regulate dietary supplements such as vitamins.
The FDA could arbitrarily reclassify supplements as drugs or pull them off the shelves altogether.
Find that one in the Constitution.
With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?"
The fact that Palin supports McCain over JD Hayworth is not a "plus" for Sarah.

$5000 fine for not filling out census form?
This is an e-mail I received from a Ludington (MI) Tea Party leader. (http://www.teapartyofwmi.org/group/ludingtonteaparty)
Read it and thank God for Rod and all the tea party patriots.
And be very worried about where our country is headed!
"I would like to thank Bob, a LTP member, for questioning a recently e-mailed video about the Census as misleading. I’m sure that we’ve all heard about the short form and then a longer form with questions that we may receive. I have attached the PDF form copied from http://2010.census.gov/partners/pdf/ConstituentFAQ.pdf explaining what we can expect.
While it is true that the Decennial Census Program is only a 10-question form required to be filled out by every household, the separate American Community Survey also requires completion if you receive it. Failure to file one or both of these forms this year is subject to a $5,000 fine according to the way I read the attached 2010 Census Constituent FAQ.
I also find it rather odd that your phone number is one of the ten questions. Since when is it the government’s business to have this when in the past it wasn’t collected, and for many people their number isn’t published? Again as a genealogist, I see little use decades or centuries from now to have this information and would rather that data more uniform be obtained as was asked in previous census surveys."

"Almost no voice, until Rush Limbaugh came on the scene.
Almost 30 years later, the tables have turned.
The problem for these journalists is that they have functioned robotically and cavalierly for so long, that they are not aware of the reality around them.
Things have changed.
Drastically."
This is a great read for all of us citizen journalists!
