Obama Lawyers Pursue Electronic Card Check as Alternative to Legislation 

Obama Lawyers Pursue Electronic Card Check as Alternative to Legislation NetRight Daily
"Unfortunately, the public’s elected representatives may not have the final say where labor policy is concerned.
Craig Becker, a recess appointee to the NLRB with strong ties to organized labor, has made it clear that he favors taking administrative action without congressional approval."

This is electronic "CARD CHECK"!

HMM: Sherrod: “We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …”

Instapundit » Blog Archive » HMM: Sherrod: “We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …”
“First, a note of heartfelt appreciation for Joan Walsh of Salon.
Her moving post on Charles Sherrod – in defense of his wife, Shirley – provided the inspiration required to dust off my Google skills.
I simply had to fulfill her stated desire to share the actual words of Civil Rights icon Charles Sherrod with her readers, so touched was I by her profound tribute.

And she’s been swamped on TV, justifying Shirley Sherrod calling Fox and Andrew Breitbart racist.

I can only hope she will be kind enough to direct her readers here, so we can all share his unique wisdom on race relations together, as one.
That is, after all, the way it should be, is it not, Joan?”"

I'm thinking the MSM prefers to examine Breitbart rather than ...say....their new heroine Shirley.

Socialist "JournoListas"

New Zeal: Socialist "JournoListas"
"The now closed down JournoList, has caused considerable controversy in recent weeks.
According to its opponents, JournoList, teamed up some 400 prominent "progressive" journalists in an effort to smooth Barack Obama's path to the White House.

There have been accusations that 'Journolitstas', deliberately sought to downplay Obama's association with the marxist Rev. Jeremiah Wright and tried to smear conservatives, or opposing journalists as 'racists'.

This post looks at 106 reported 'Journolistas' to look for connections or common threads."

Excellent analysis of the "vast left wing conspiracy" the leftist MSM continues to bury.

Obama puts Shirley Sherod away in an undisclosed location. Or is it the MSM?

theblogprof: Obama puts Shirley Sherod away in an undisclosed location. Or is it the MSM?
"Marlow makes a valid point too, and that it may well be the MSM, and not Obama, that is keeping Sherrod off the air:

Considering the Shirley Sherrod interview barrage that took place last Thursday, to not see Sherrod on television Sunday morning sends a clear signal the mainstream media no longer feels allowing the public to get to know the real Shirley Sherrod advances their agenda.
Hmmm.

So is it the White House or the MSM?
Or both?"

"There were Medicaid payments of perhaps up to $2 million paid to dead people or for people who had died before they received the medical service in question.
That was one of the more glaring findings in a recently released state audit of the Department of Community Health.
It states that as much as $4.4 billion over the past two years was not properly accounted for."

Settlement expected for Detroit cop who ticketed Christine Beatty

Settlement expected for Detroit cop who ticketed Christine Beatty detnews.com
"The settlement is separate from a 2008 case in which $25,000 was paid out to end a defamation lawsuit brought by two police officers who pulled over Beatty in another suit.

The officers maintained she yelled at them, used profane language and asked 'do you know who the ... I am?'

After details of the stop became public, Kilpatrick implied in a radio interview that the officers violated her rights."

And the money comes from the Detroit-money-tree!
How cool is that!

TED NUGENT: America's economic hari-kari

TED NUGENT: America's economic hari-kari - Washington Times
"Anyone with a lick of common sense will tell you that when you are in a hole, you need to quit digging.
Continuing to dig will only create a larger problem.
Do schools teach this?

Recently, even President Obama's national debt commission told him that his continuing spending orgy is digging America into a gigantic fiscal hole.

Next year, America's total debt is expected to exceed $14 trillion.
Each American's share of that debt totals just short of $50,000.
If Fedzilla would be honest and put all the figures on the table, we would see that we are in debt more than $100 trillion because of the financial obligations for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

That's $100 trillion.
One hundred percent predictable, 100 percent preventable."

The Nuge speaks the truth!
Will we listen?

The sheriff shoots himself in the foot

"Bouchard answered 'supports' to a Detroit News query published Thursday about whether he backed the 'affirmative action ban.'
The question was in reference to the 2006 Michigan Civil Rights Initiative that banned racial preferences in state hiring and passed in a popular landslide with a huge majority of Republican voters.

Bouchard, however -- in keeping with his historically cautious style -- opposed the measure as a U.S. Senate candidate.
Other high-profile GOP moderates like Dick DeVos and Rick Snyder also ran for the tall grass at the time -- a retreat that ultimately victorious conservatives have never forgotten."

Let us not forget!

Bell council used little-noticed ballot measure to skirt state salary limits

"The highly paid members of the Bell City Council were able to exempt themselves from state salary limits by placing a city charter on the ballot in a little-noticed special election that attracted fewer than 400 voters.

Since passage of the measure, salaries for council members — part-time employees — have jumped more than 50%, from $61,992 a year to at least $96,996."

They can only succeed in the darkness of public lethargy.
Wake up and smell the fetid stink of corruption!

Green Jobs Training

Green Jobs Training [Mackinac Center]
"Ken Braun, managing editor of Michigan Capitol Confidential:
Government experts know the secret to making 'green energy' AND creating jobs?
And the formula is just adding more tax dollars?

The worst part of this fantastic fable is that it isn't even original.

Decades ago, the magic green bullet was ethanol.
The formula for ethanol, as the Wall Street Journal's Paul Gigot famously quipped, is 'corn plus your tax dollars.'"

Worst heat ever

"Don't sweat it, New York.
While this month's sizzling weather may feel unbearable, with the temperature hitting a high of 97 degrees yesterday, tying a record, it pales in comparison to the heat wave that city residents endured in the summer of '96 -- 1896, that is."

I grew up in NY in the 50-60s and remember the 100 degree days.
The eco-nazis would tell their faithful that me and those who remember should be shunned for our apostasy.
But we are still here...and shouting the truth!
Cool!
