Unions Get Exempt from Cadillac Tax
"Democrats seem impervious to embarrassment as they buy votes for ObamaCare, but their latest move makes even Nebraska's Ben Nelson look cheap:
The 87% of Americans who don't belong to a union will now foot the bill for a $60 billion giveaway to those who do"

Some in Unity Breakfast audience angered by speaker Mark Fancher's comments
Some in Unity Breakfast audience angered by speaker Mark Fancher's comments
"The speaker, Mark Fancher, a Michigan attorney for the Racial Justice Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, told his audience that white people continue to enjoy special privileges because of the color of their skin.
He also raised the temperature of some in the audience when he began sharing stories of what he called recent incidents of discrimination involving law enforcement and government officials. The majority of those who attended the Friday event were community and business leaders, educators and law enforcement officials."
As interesting as the bigoted comments spewed by the breakfast racist is the Chronicle and other attendees' acceptance of his lies.
Few in the room objected to his disgusting assertions that would have created riots had they been said by whites about blacks.
The Chronicle's cowardly "We just report" is just another reason for their demise.

IS galloping inflation around the corner?
Will the Fed Use Its Whole Arsenal Against Inflation?
"Those two lessons go a long way toward explaining history’s hyperinflations, like those experienced by Germany in the 1920s or by Zimbabwe recently.
Is the United States about to go down this route?"

"They’ve dumped nearly a $1 million of rank-and-file dues into Martha Antoinette Coakley’s coffers.
They “pulled out all the stops” before the primary and they’ll be throwing all their ground troops into the Bay State over the weekend.
We know how the SEIU thugs operate.
I told you in Culture of Corruption about Andy Stern’s organizational motto: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”
They’ll go after Boy Scouts.
And baby-sitters.
And home health-care providers.
They raided their treasury to pour $60-$80 million into Obama and the Democrats’ 2008 campaigns.
They’re not about to roll over and play nice while their 60-vote supermajority slips away."

World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown
World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown
"A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.
Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming.
A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.
In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report.
It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.
Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was 'speculation' and was not supported by any formal research.
If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research.
The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change."

U.N.'s World Health Organization Eyeing Global Tax on Banking, Internet Activity
U.N.'s World Health Organization Eyeing Global Tax on Banking, Internet Activity
The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering a plan to ask governments to impose a global consumer tax on such things as Internet activity or everyday financial transactions like paying bills online.
Such a scheme could raise "tens of billions of dollars" on behalf of the United Nations' public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world.
The multibillion-dollar "indirect consumer tax" is only one of a "suite of proposals" for financing the rapid transformation of the global medical industry that will go before WHO's 34-member supervisory Executive Board at its biannual meeting in Geneva.

Martha Coakley's Convictions
Dorothy Rabinowitz: Martha Coakley's Convictions - WSJ.com
"What does this say about her candidacy? (Ms. Coakley declined to be interviewed.)
If the current attorney general of Massachusetts actually believes, as no serious citizen does, the preposterous charges that caused the Amiraults to be thrown into prison—the butcher knife rape with no blood, the public tree-tying episode, the mutilated squirrel and the rest—that is powerful testimony to the mind and capacities of this aspirant to a Senate seat.
It is little short of wonderful to hear now of Ms. Coakley's concern for the rights of terror suspects at Guantanamo—her urgent call for the protection of the right to the presumption of innocence.
If the sound of ghostly laughter is heard in Massachusetts these days as this campaign rolls on, with Martha Coakley self-portrayed as the guardian of justice and civil liberties, there is good reason."
You must read this horrible recounting of an American disgrace.
And of the democrat candidate for the "Kennedy seat" who continues to show contempt for American citizens at the same time as she cries for "justice" for America's enemies.

Under-Ease pants: designed to hide the smell of farts
According to Under-Tec's president and inventor Buck Weimer, the Under-Ease is an underwear that provides "protection" against human gas. The weird product, designed by this American manufacturer, has a built-in multi-layered, replaceable filter made of felt, charcoal and fibreglass wool. To prevent gases escaping without passing through it, the underpants are made from air-tight fabric and completely sealed with elastic around the waistband and legs.
They are supposed to be worn at anytime, anywhere --in bed, at work and at social events, professional meetings and so on.

I'm getting tired of e-mail petitions
I'm not against online petitions but I doubt they EVER have had any success in changing public policy.
A far more successful result would be achieved by calling and writing letters (not e-mail) to our state and federal reps. and senators. Both democrat and republican.
Do you really care?
An in-person visit to their Lansing or local offices can produce enormous results.
Our electeds have influence on Obama right NOW.
The democrats especially.
If you really want to supercharge your efforts, contact (by phone, letter and in person) those candidates who will be running in 2010 for election.
Especially those running in primary elections.
In Michigan, we have many candidates, democrook and GOPer-cowards, running for almost every office in the Aug. primary.
If you contact them, they will respond.
Ill. has a primary on Feb. 2 to replace the ignoramus Roland Burris who was appointed to replace Obama as US senator when Obama decided to represent big unions, socialism, general maliase and America's enemies as US president.
Republicans Mark (RINO) Kirk and Patrick (Tea Party dude) Hughes are the GOPer leaders.
Ill. state treasurer (crook) Giannoulias and a passel of other crooks are running on the democrat side.
Do your own homework if you want to call the candidates.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_elections_in_Illinois,_2010
If you REALLY care, pick up a phone, a pen or fill up your gas tank, grab some friends and visit your local representative's office and get ready to rumble!
Otherwise, forward the petition and let your elected reps. snooze through this whole annoying distraction from pork and junkets.

Almost as interesting as Obama's niggardliness is the lack of ANY MSM interest in this story.

"Even in a world of massive deficits and rising national debt, not many problems come in packages that are in the trillions of dollars.
The deficit facing U.S. public pension funds will grow to $2 trillion, according to an interview that the chairman of New Jersey's pension fund, Orin Kramer, gave to the FT.
'Estimates of aggregate funding requirement of the US pension system have ranged between $400bn and $500 bn, but Mr Kramer's analysis concluded that public funds would need to find more than $2,000bn to meet future pension obligations.'"
Where do YOU think THEY will get the $2 trillion?
Either the public employees will see their massive pay and benefit packages realign with the real American worker or the rest of us will pay through the nose and see our economy explode.
What is up with the younger Americans?
Don't they see who will REALLY pay?

We can't let him get anywhere near Kennedy's desk.

White House credits stimulus with up to 2M jobs
White House credits stimulus with up to 2M jobs
"President Barack Obama is trumpeting a new White House estimate that his top economist calls 'stunning': His stimulus plan has already created or saved up to 2 million jobs.
The analysis is part of the administration's quarterly report to Congress on the controversial $787 billion package of spending and tax cuts he signed weeks after taking office.
Republicans have denounced the stimulus plan as an expensive flop, pointing to a national unemployment rate stuck at 10 percent and December figures showing the economy shed 85,000 more jobs.
But the report from the President's Council of Economic Advisers said the economy is a lot better off than it would have been without the stimulus. Citing its own analysis plus a range of private sector summaries, the council estimated the annual growth rate last year would have been roughly 2 percentage points lower, and there would have been 1.5 million to 2 million fewer jobs.
'That's truly a stunning and important effect', Christina Romer, the council's chairwoman, said in a conference call with reporters. 'It has done exactly what we have anticipated it would do.'"
DELUSIONAL!
When the best that can be said of an administration is "delusional", one must marvel at what awaits us these next three years.
