Food Pyramid replaced with My Plate: Will it help Americans improve their eating habits? MLive.com
"Will changing the shape of food guidelines get Americans in better shape?
The Obama administration hopes so.
Today, they unveiled a replacement for the food pyramid -- and this time they are using a circle."
The answer to the question is NO!
But these same government functionaries who scream for government to keep out of our bedrooms now want the feds in our kitchens 3 times a day.
I wonder if they will make a "snack plate" so the can live in our kitchens 24/7.

"Like last year, nearly one in five motorists were found unfit to drive"
It took a government funded "study" to figure that out?
And guess what ALWAYS follows a government funded study that concludes people aren't smart enough to do something?
Yep! More federal/state money to make the people "smarter".
That always works...right?

"Times columnist Paul Krugman too jumps into the fray for his part.
He wants “W.P.A.-type programs putting the unemployed to work doing useful things like repairing roads… a serious program of mortgage modification, reducing the debts of troubled homeowners… [and] [w]e could try to get inflation back up to the 4 percent rate”.
Basically, the Left wants more of the same — more “stimulus”—which has already failed.
We know that because of the 4.2 percent decline in home values in the first quarter as measured by the S&P/Case Shiller home price index."

Off the 'gravy train'
Off the 'gravy train' - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"'The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro-thin half-truths and misunderstandings,' he says.
'I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic.'
Empirical evidence from the '90s showed that CO2 is not the primary driver of global temperatures, Evans says.
'(R)ather than admit they were wrong, the governments, and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant.'
Naturally, Evans has been vilified by other 'experts' because of his remarks.
But, as with other skeptics, his assertions are dismissed, not debated.
It is, as Evans says, a comfortable gravy train for all aboard."

Public School Paradox: Record spending, mass teacher layoffs
"The Mackinac Center for Public Policy reports that in 2010 Michigan’s public school revenue totaled $19.4 billion.
That averages to $11,661 spent per student on day-to-day operating expenditures, and represents a 1.5 percent increase from 2009.
Despite the increase in overall spending, there is a steady drumbeat of news stories about how cash-strapped Michigan school districts are being forced to lay off teachers.
How can this be?"

"Our commissioners will soon face tremendous challenges as they try to maintain county services and keep our county solvent.
They will need more than citizen committees and consultants to deflect the criticism likely to arise from the tough decisions ahead.
They will need the confidence and good will of the citizenry.
A citizenry that trusts our county leaders are honest and up front with the issues we all face."

"Wasserman Schultz at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast on May 26.
“We have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy and this is not only a reality but a necessity,' she said.
'And that it would be harmful--the Republican solution that I’ve seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrested them all.”"
Not withstanding the fact that no elected GOP has EVER said "we should pack them all up...." (doesn't that make her a liar?) her comment ought to be hilarious.
If it was a SNL skit.
But unfortunately, the chairman of the democrat party thinks illegal isn't a crime.
And she's got millions of followers who have that same notion.
We have a culture problem here in our once great country.

Single family home prices dropped in March to their lowest level since April 2009;

and regional manufacturing is slowing. In the Chicago area, it fell to its lowest level since November 2009"

Three thousand new oil wells to be drilled in Texas within the year Anonymous Beltway Confidential Washington Examiner
"Oil prices could soon fall with the discovery of 20 new onshore oil fields in West Texas, which not only will boost the U.S. economy but also will line up with Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s hope for lower oil prices -- just not quite in a way he likes."
Just wait and see how the Obama boys try to kill this one!

Emanuel: Heat-Related Illness Forced North Avenue Beach Shutdown
"There had been some speculation about what really happened.
Police sources have a different explanation.
They said Tuesday that the beach was shut down in response to the large crowds of people showing up all at once, and police not having enough manpower to control the chaos.
Beachgoers at North Avenue have also faced the threat of violence from flash mobs and wilding on busy days in recent months.
Last month at North Avenue Beach, sources say a group of about 100 teens surrounded two people on bikes.
Both were knocked off their bikes and thrown into Lake Michigan.
Mayor Emanuel said he did not know anything about the reported crowd control problem."
He's not even as good a liar as the old Soviets!

Michigan labor thugs' extortion scheme
Owens: Michigan labor thugs' extortion scheme themichiganview.com The Michigan View
"File this one under 'Pathetic.'
The latest attempt by Michigan organized labor to maintain the illusion of popular support for their positions is to intimidate small business owners.
Taking a page from the Wisconsin playbook, a front group organized by labor unions had planned to go door to door to businesses in the Escanaba area and 'ask' them to support 'working families' by putting up signs in their windows or other visible area.
In the Wisconsin experience, businesses that refused to do so were threatened with boycott.
The labor groups then go to the local media and claim that businesses support their efforts as evidenced by the signs posted.
The effort fizzled after enough 'volunteers' couldn't be rounded up even though there were plans to bring them in from outside the area."
More than pathetic.
A window into the mind of thugs who would control our society with goons and thuggery.
