"Here’s what the Guardian had to say, excitedly, when it previewed the video yesterday:
Had a look?
Well, I’m certain you’ll agree that detonating school kids, footballers and movie stars into gory pulp for ignoring their carbon footprints is attention-grabbing."
Watch this "green" produced video and be verry afraid.
If they win....what do you think they will really do?

Anyone else think Walmart would be better at running our USA healthcare system than BarryO'Carter and his political pals?

"It's hard to know what to say about Ireland's revelation that it expects the cost of cleaning up Anglo Irish Bank to come to a staggering 21% of GDP.
Profanity is too weak, really.
The total cost of the bank bailouts looks as if it will be well over a quarter of GDP."

Falling off the Floor: Gloria Allred and the Democrats - Hugh Hewitt - Townhall Conservative
"Turns out that Whitman had hired a housekeeper a few years back, after being provided all the necessary documents.
Whitman was very serious about complying with the law as any CEO of a major public company ought to be, if only to protect the thousands and thousands of shareholders who cannot afford to have corporate leadership turn out to be law breakers.
Whitman was defrauded.
The housekeeper lied.
Many years later the housekeeper admitted her lies to Whitman, and Whitman dismissed her."
Just in case Perky Katie and her comrades in the MSM sorta forget to report this tonight.

Bailout for States and More Real Estate Trouble Coming,Whitney says
Bailout for States and More Real Estate Trouble Coming,Whitney says Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog
"Yesterday, as I sat and listened in my car, Whitney predicted tough times coming for state governments.
I wrote in February (America Has Its Own Pigs) that many states are basically bankrupt and, in an election year, will probably get a bailout.
Fast forward to today.
Whitney says underwater states will need a trillion dollar bailout.
That is another thousand billion added to the taxpayer tab!
Whitney said, “You have to look at the states and the risk that the states pose, because the crisis with the states will result in an attempt at least for the third near-trillion-dollar bailout.
That has consequences on the dollar that has consequences on just about everything.
It certainly has consequences on the US recovery.”
Whitney also predicts 80,000 financial sector layoffs coming for Wall Street."

Michigan Film Office, refundable tax credits [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"A new issue paper from the non-partisan Senate Fiscal Agency estimates that Michigan film production tax breaks and subsidies generated the equivalent of approximately 355 full time jobs in 2009, or 1,542 if 'indirect' jobs are also counted.
During that year the film incentives' net cost to taxpayers was $37.5 million.
When the agency figures in other factors the cost comes to $193,333 per job created by the incentives, or $44,561 per job if one includes the estimate of 'indirect jobs' created."

Politics Versus Gold
RealClearPolitics - Politics Versus Gold
"One of the many slick tricks of the Obama administration was to insert a provision in the massive Obamacare legislation regulating people who sell gold.
This had nothing to do with medical care but everything to do with sneaking in an extension of the government's power over gold, in a bill too big for most people to read."
...The desire to restrain or control the buying and selling of gold is just one of the many signs of the inherent conflict between the freedom of the individual and the left's attempts to control our lives.
Sneaking a provision on gold purchases and sales into massive legislation that is supposedly about medical care is just one of the many cynical tricks used to circumvent the public's right to know how they are being governed.

Opinion: Let's reform state government
Opinion: Let's reform state government - Frank J. Donatelli - POLITICO.com
"Here are some major reforms these state policymakers could pass immediately:
Public pension reform.
State liabilities for pension funds have reached an astounding $5.2 trillion, with an additional $3 trillion shortfall.
Many states provide inflation-protected, guaranteed benefits to government workers who retire as early as age 55.
However, private-sector workers, who pay for this, have not done so well.
Millions have lost jobs, and virtually all have seen their 401(k)’s shrink.
We need some tough reforms to control public pension costs, including changing the defined-benefit plans into defined-contribution plans, barring part-time government workers from receiving full benefits and ensuring that all enrollees contribute to their own retirement and health care plans.
Republicans should follow the courageous example of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is seeking to bring these soaring costs under control."

That means almost a third of all interest paid on the debt goes overseas."
