Quotes
"Well, the big difference here and in '94 was
you’ve got me. We’re going to see how much difference
that makes now." -- Obama, promising
to handle the coming election better than Clinton did in 1994, Link
Excerpt: Ford ended 2009 with $25.5 billion in cash reserves,
nearly twice the $13.4 billion it had at the start of the year.
It also expects an operating profit in 2010,
which is a year sooner than executives predicted it would become consistently
profitable.
Ford’s CEO, Alan R. Mulally, said “We are providing
great products, building a stronger business and contributing to a better
world.”
In the fourth quarter, Ford earned $868 million,
compared with a loss of $6 billion last year.
It was profitable in every region, including North
America for the second consecutive quarter.
It's nice to see a headline that isn't more of
the Bush disaster.
"A new poll finds Fox News as the only network
that more people say they trust than distrust. Here are the trust/don't trust spreads:
Fox 49 to 37, CNN 39 to 41, NBC 35 to 44, CBS 32 to 46,
and ABC 31 to 46. Analysis: 'These numbers suggest quite
a shift in what Americans want from their news. A generation ago Walter Cronkite was the most trusted
man in the country because of his neutrality. Now people trust Fox the most precisely because of its lack
of neutrality. It says a lot about where journalism is headed.'" -- Political Wire, Link
You mean the average American, the one who can't find Texas on
a f-ing map, is stupid?
Who knew?
Gee, it's almost like talking stupid gives them an advantage.
Excerpt: What's happened is that, true to form, Democrats
can't seem to get out of their own way. Unlike the right,
the party leadership, from Obama on down, is
comprised of a bunch of spineless, visionless, disorganized,
pseudo-intellectual sailors sinking in a sea
of their own delusion and denial.
Obama's health-care reform bill is just about
dead all because of one new Republican Senator.
According to Harry Reid, no super-majority, no
reform. That's it.
Despite owning the White House, a 78 seat edge
in the House and a 59-41 majority in the Senate, health-care
is dead because of Scott Brown. How lame
can Democrats be?
Should we bother to answer that question?
When the GOP feared losing Texas, it rushed into
action and Tom DeLay redrew the lines to give the GOP
more votes in order to win. Democrats lose one
Senate seat and its whole agenda is thrown into a coma.
The Democrats are rudderless, drama queens with contemptible timidity.
Obama is our rudder, but he can't seem to find the water with his oar.
Could somebody show the president where the water is - please?
Excerpt: 3. He has the Sergeant-at-Arms drag in a chain
gang of men in striped prison garb, Joe Arpaio-style.
The bedraggled men are George W. Bush, Dick Cheney,
Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, and more.
Obama asks children in the gallery to come down
and pelt them with rotten fruit. The President says,
"Now this is how you blame the current crisis
on the previous administration."
"Obama gave some spine back to the Democrats
in his State of the Union speech. He told his fellow party members "don't head for the hills."...
He vowed he would not quit. He was bouyant, combative, direct, eloquent, sarcastic, bubbly,
forceful, unbowed, animated, commanding -- in short, a Democratic "happy warrior." He has rebuilt the
party's spirits in one speech." -- Stephen Schlkesinger, acting like
everything is OK now, Link
"African Americans, Latinos, and young voters
are tuning out because we wasted 2009 "negotiating" with bad faith actors like Snowe and
Mike Enzi. The tools were available to quickly pass a health care bill, yet Democrats were too incompetent
to do so. And on issue after issue, they've proven completely ineffective." -- Kos, listing the
facts, Link
This would be perfect for two people needing a sudden,
expensive
flight.
If you're in Los Angeles and you have to take a sudden
trip to New York
even Southwest is going to slam you for $1900
and I could save you, say, $500.
Somebody's going to suddenly have a need for a pair of tickets.
I hope it's not you that has to take that sudden trip,
but if it is, at least I can save you some significant money.
There's a suggestion that Obama and Wyclef Jean stole the other 99 cents.
You just know FOX News will take that ball and run with it.
When some racist teabagger sees the headlines, he'll say "I
knew
that nigger was a crook." It also gives them the moral "courage" to resist the negro propaganda
- so they don't contribute.
But when you get past the whore AP's fake headline, you get this:
Relief experts say it would be a mistake
to send too much direct cash to the Haitian government,
which was already unstable before the quake and
routinely included on lists of the world's most corrupt countries.
So the busy person with screaming kids gets
"Obama is a crook." but only those who have
time to read the entire story - after the damage has been done
- get the actual truth.
They do this intentionally.
They lie to your face, but when you confront them, they explain that
the truth is right there in black and white - if you dig deep enough,
that is.
> Do Democrats realize how much trouble they're
in?
Obviously, they do know. They are not stupid.
So why couldn't they see it last August?
The real question is why don't they do something
about it.
The only answer has to be because it doesn't
matter to them.
This begs the question, "Why doesn't it matter?"
Because, kiddies, they won't suffer any hardships
or any changes to their status quo.
They are for sale regardless of what laws are
passed. Their obligations are to those
who are giving them all the millions they want
- the health insurance companies,
the banks, the mortgage lenders, the huge corporations...
Excerpt: Jay Leno, much like Adolf Hitler, is a master
of making secret demands for foreign territory and then acting
like the wronged party. First he pretended that
he wanted to annex only the first half-hour of O'Brien's "Tonight
Show."
Here he was mimicking Hitler, who insisted that
he merely wanted to annex the German-speaking Sudetenland,
not all of Czechoslovakia.
Then, adopting the craven Chamberlain model, NBC
stabbed O'Brien in the back by agreeing to let Leno reoccupy
the first segment of his old "Tonight Show" slot.
NBC's defense was that Mr. O'Brien had dismal ratings, and the show
was a bit of a mess. But the same can be said
about Czechoslovakia, a hodgepodge cobbled together after the
First World War that never really got its act
together.
Returning from Munich, Chamberlain joyously proclaimed
that the accord with Hitler meant peace in our time.
Returning to Burbank, NBC officials expected
the same result from its deal with Leno and O'Brien.
Oh come on!
Leno is a lazy, ungifted performer but he's not "like Hitler."
Excerpt: Pope John Paul II whipped himself with a belt,
even on vacation, and slept on the floor as acts of penitence
and to bring him closer to Christian perfection,
says a new book by the Polish prelate spearheading his sainthood case...
At a news conference Tuesday, Monsignor Slawomir
Oder defended John Paul’s practice of self-mortification,
which some faithful use to remind them of the
suffering of Jesus on the cross.
“It’s an instrument of Christian perfection,”
Oder said with a straight face, responding to questions about how such
a medieval practice could be condoned considering
Catholic teaching holds that the human body is a gift from God.
“But it wasn’t limited to this. As some members
of his close entourage in Poland and in the Vatican were able to hear
with their own ears, John Paul flagellated himself.
In his armoire, amid all the vestments and hanging on a hanger,
was a belt which he used as a whip and which
he always brought on vacation each summer."
You older folks might remember the Iranian handjobs in 1980 were into
that, too.
While they were illegally holding our diplomats, thousands of religiously
insane Iranians
would poor into the streets and beat their backs bloody with chains,
screaming "God is great."
I guess if you're the Pope, logic is as foreign to you as a woman's
G Spot.
But whipping yourself to get closer to God?
That's the best idea these blockheads could come up with?
"I know I’m the people’s senator, but do I
have to hang out with them?" -- John Edwards, being
stabbed in the back by his former Chief of Staff, Andrew Young, Link
Young's job is to inflict the most pain possible on his old boss
and to sell books,
and some juicy, possibly-could-be-true quotes will accomplish
both objectives.
Oh, and Elizabeth has left John, which should make Young happy.
"I think he's disgusting. I don't think the
guy has a soul." -- Sen. Claire McCaskill
(D-Mo.),
whose husband Joe has yet to get caught, on John Edwards, Link
When Ensign got caught, did his fellow Rethugs
call him a scumbag?
When Vitter got caught, did his fellow
Rethugs call him a scumbag?
When Craig got caught, did his fellow Rethugs
call him a scumbag?
McCaskill is right - Democrats are such
disgusting, soulless scubags.
I hope the voters get Claire's message
that Democrats can't be trusted.
"Jay Leno is going to go on Oprah Winfrey to
tell his side of the story. I never thought I'd say this, but watch
your back, Oprah." -- Carig Ferguson, attacking
his boss's old friend, Link
You had a good metaphor yesterday.
To expand on it a bit, the Democrats like to
think they're playing in this game.
But not only does the other team cheat, the refs
(the media) are whores in the pocket of the opposing team.
It's their job to make sure no Democratic foul
goes uncalled, while letting the other team get away with murder.
Sometimes literally (too many to name).
Yet the Democrats keep trying to play a fair game.
Rather than beaning the refs in the head, rather
than trying to buy their own refs, they'd rather keep playing
like nothing is wrong because they're afraid
the audience will stop buying tickets if they find out the game is rigged.
Excerpt: Will Sarah Palin's Tea Party dinner be a bust?
Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips likely
assumed that scoring a dinner speech by the swimsuit model
would guarantee a huge turnout for his National
Handjob Convention Feb. 4 at a fancy Nashville Hotel.
But the tickets for the Palin banquet aren't
selling—and some conservative activists who have already paid
are demanding refunds. With the event shaping
up to be a potential flop, some Tea Partiers are urging Palin
to cancel her speech to avoid a humiliating public
relations disaster.
Tickets are $549 a person for the conference and
Palin’s banquet, or $349 for the dinner alone.
Palin will be paid $115,000 to "speak."
To some Tea Baggers, this lavish affair sounds suspiciously like an
exclusive GOP fundraiser and a betrayal of their
grassroots movement. (In mid-January, Palin told Ho'Reilly
that she will not profit from her appearance
at the convention, suggesting she would donate her speaking fee
to Republican candidates. But she has not provided
any details on that, and a Palin spokesperson did not
respond to requests for clarification.

Tulsa Weather
They swear the Mother of all Blizzards is heading our way.
This, the second blizzard since Christmas ...and Tulsa never had a
blizzard until 2009.
The crawl on the TV says, "Be sure your have
three days of food, water, batteries, etc," which makes sense but I don't think I've ever seen those words on my
TV before.
That white and pink monster is heading right at us.
The FOX Weather whore said 23 inches was possible - in
Oklahoma?.
I hit the 8-second rewind on the VTR and he said it again.
I don't like that.
They say the biggest, water-soaked cloud cluster of all time is
screaming North towards Tulsa
and it's about to clash with the baddest, bitingest, howlingest
cold blast coming down from Del Norte!
Good thing we stocked up with plenty of this and plenty
of that.
...but why can't we just have tornadoes* like every other year?
