Congrats, Al Franken
The goofball Republicans in Congress, this way, cannot step into it as they often do and get the blame for Democrat disasters.
The liberal party now owns the government. I, for one, am content to sit back and let it have all the rope it wants.
When shit hits the fan (and it will), it's all going to be on you.
Have at it, Democrats!

Another ruling from Sotomayor that's been reversed
Anyone with all her issues that would be nominated by a Republican would never make it even this far in the process. Obama picked the most extreme candidate and figures he can use his popularity to get her in and then any pick after her should be easy because they will compare them to her extreme nature.
She is a horrible candidate for our highest court. Even many of her own colleagues have stated her ruling are not based on law, including a prominent latino judge. Where is all this publicity in the media? Null and void, as usual. Wouldn't want any baaaaad press regarding our Messiah and his pick.
By the way, she isn't the first latino to be nominated to the Supreme Court, you can thank a Republican for that and the Democrats for killing it.
At the end of the day I simply want people on the court that understand the Constitution, the reason our nation was founded (freedom) and rule on the law and not personal feelings. I don't care what race, sex or religion they are. Just put the best people on the court and not political hacks.

The great fallacy
As reported in the Star-Tribune newspaper, 1/2 of 1% of the road construction funds are in use. $400,000 to synchronize traffic lights. How many long term jobs did that produce again? I fail to see all the jobs that were to be created by the "urgent" passing of this bill. Remember when the spending bill had to be passed right away even without time to read what it contained because Obama had to have it passed or the country would never recover? The only good I can see is that the votes of the UAW are probably going to him. Yeah, let's get gov't run health care, too. I want to see that move through the federal bureaucracy like this Bumbulus Bill here. But liberals always have a dumb excuse for everything.
If government spending was the way to a strong economy, the Soviet Union would have been an economic juggernaut. All of this public borrowing squeezes out private borrowing, which will in turn hurt economic growth. The government cannot create wealth it can only redistribute it.
And now, i find out that with the Minnesota Dept. of Transportation, 37 projects and the 124 jobs had NOTHING to do with the stimulus money. I read that the money was appropriated late last Summer by the DOT long before Obama took office. Last fall, the MnDOT announced the projects and new jobs that would be needed for those projects. They started taking applications for those jobs at the end of November and stated the jobs would start in or by April and that the money for those projects was already appropriated. The Star-Tribune has decided to make it look like those jobs and projects were part of the stimulus (imagine that). It takes months of planning for those projects and months to hire people for them and they mention the month of May like it all happened overnight. No jobs have been created and no jobs have been saved.
Any jobs created by the stimulus-pork bill appear to be temporary. This money will disappear and not be accounted for just like the money disappeared to the banks. Komrade Obama is giving money to the wrong people. People already on welfare and corporate heads don't create jobs, they just take the money and run. Money and tax breaks should have been given to working class Americans to spend as they see fit. This would stimulate the economy and the free market system would take care of itself. Obama's socialist-welfare programs are designed for political purposes by the government to take over corporations, banks, the internet, the media and to regulate and control every aspect of our free enterprise system and our lives. The nation has been taken over by a piece-of-shit socialist.
Change indeed.

What a week
Predictably, most people are coming out of the woodwork to mourn Jackson. It's a shame that McMahon and Fawcett's accomplishments will be overshadowed by a pedophile. America, the only country in this world where a black kid can grow up to be a white female.
So what's next? Naming streets in our communities Michael Jackson Blvd? How about another State and Federal holiday?

Barbara Boxer and the General
Does Barbara Boxer really think she worked hard for the title Senator? It was a title given to her by the people who voted for her — nothing more, nothing less. She is a public servant and should remember that the title she was awarded — yes, awarded — is conditional. It takes no special talent, skill, ability, education or knowledge to be a public servant. (That’s one of many things our Founding Fathers implemented that makes the United States great.)
While some would argue it takes leadership to attain the title Senator, I contend it takes arrogance and an overinflated ego to reject what was meant to be a respectful address from a man who clearly has more class, more education, more experience, more knowledge and obviously more manners than a self-important elected official with a chip on her shoulder that means more to her than the matter being discussed. Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh was following military protocol; Boxer revealed her priorities.
Walsh acted like an officer and gentleman, while Boxer was neither senatorial nor ladylike in her petty redress. Walsh worked for his title, his degrees (plural), his commissions, his ribbons, and his status — through blood, sweat and tears — not votes. His title is earned and irrevocable; it does not come with a 2010 expiration date.
