More Problems for Gov Krispy Kreme
Was There Funny Business with Sandy Relief Funds?

"I am not fat!"

Link

Chris Christie (R-Bully) is facing a federal investigation into whether he used Hurricane Sandy
relief money to produce tourism ads starring himself and his family. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.)
said the inspector general for H.U.D conducted a preliminary investigation, and concluded that a
full investigation is warranted.

The investigation comes as Gov. Krispy Kreme is facing Bully-Bridge-gate.

Pallone wrote a letter to the inspector general of H.U.D. in August, asking why a firm with a more
expensive pitch won the project to make a New Jersey tourism campaign with Sandy relief funds.
The winning firm's bid was $4.7 million, while a comparable firm cost $2.5 million.

The more expensive idea included the Christies, while the cheaper pitch did not.

In a slickly produced ad released in May, Christie appeared towards the end and
proclaimed that New Jersey was "stronger than the storm."

So, Gov. Krispy Kreme spend $2.2M more in taxpayer money so he could star in the ads?

Subject: McCain censured

Bart,

The right-wing is really getting crazier. It seems as if they're whipping themselves into a frenzy,
perhaps actually hoping for some sociopathic group to resort to "second amendment" solutions.
One gets the feeling that there is a actual desire on the part of the racist/religious/secessionist crowd
for wilder perhaps more violent behavior. Here in the "State of Maricopa" of Zonerland, the fascist
crowd has taken the following bold step.

The Maricopa County Republican Party has voted overwhelmingly to censure Senator John McCain (R-AZ).

Members of the group feel the senator has failed to stand behind the Republican Party's principles and
crossed the aisle and voted with Democrats too many times.

Many GOP members are using the term "RINO" to describe McCain, which stands for "Republican in Name Only."
The vote was 1,150 for the censure and 351 against.

Here is the resolution as drafted by precinct committeeman Tim Schwartz:
As leaders in the Republican Party, we are obligated to fully support our party, platform and its candidates.
Only in times of great crisis or betrayal is it necessary to publicly censure our leaders.
Today we are faced with both. For too long we have waited, hoping Sen. McCain would return to our
party's values on his own. That has not happened. So with sadness and humility we rise and declare:
Whereas Sen. McCain has amassed a long and terrible record of drafting, co-sponsoring and voting for
legislation best associated with liberal Democrats, such as amnesty, funding for Obamacare, the debt ceiling,
assaults on the constitution and second amendment, and has continued to support liberal nominees;
Whereas this record has been disastrous and harmful to Arizona and the United States; and,
Whereas Sen. McCain has campaigned as a conservative and made promises during his re-election campaigns,
such as the needed and welcomed promise to secure our borders and finish the border fence, only to quickly
flip-flop on those promises; and whereas McCain has abandoned our core values and has been eerily silent
against liberals, yet publicly reprimands conservatives in his own party, therefore
Be it hereby resolved that the Maricopa County Republican leadership censures Sen. McCain for his continued
disservice to our state and nation, and
BE it further resolved that until he consistently champions our party's platform and values, we, the Republican
leadership in Arizona will no longer support, campaign for or endorse John McCain as our U.S. senator.
Neither phone calls, emails or text messages to McCain's press office were returned.

This kind of nonsense will continue (not that I like McCain) until the slaves stop electing their slaveholders to office.
Cheers,
Jay

Jay, that underlined part says it all - thanks.

Bart, I've been following you off and on since R.L.L.N.W. or whatever that acronym was. What? 15 years?
Anyway, you and I agree on almost all of it. But. . . . you were wrong (if I remember correctly) about the
former Yugoslavia story . . . . . . and you are absolutely wrong on the Snowden, Manning, Assange issue. ….

I think that you are "in a box" about the Snowden story . . .

Ray, I'm not in a box - I'm right.

If my readers think stealing 1,5000,000 America's national security secrets and running
to China with them just because he can is "right" then they are ...mistaken.

Al Roker to Pigboy: "Stuff it"
Pigboy accused Roker of Lying

Link

Rush Limbaugh was a dick this week when he claimed that the polar vortex that
swept the nation with record low temperatures this week was a phrase recently
invented by liberals in order to advance a political agenda.

The vulgar Pigboy said

"Do you know what the polar vortex is? Have you ever heard of it? Well, they just
created it for this week... Right on schedule, the media have to come up with a way
to make he cold sound like it's completely unprecedented, because they've got to find
a way to attach this to the global warming agenda."

And what was Roker's reply?

"We've never used the phrase 'global warming' or 'climate change' in conjunction
with this... Okay?! So for all the doubters out there, STUFF IT."

Subject: Snowden and the Constitution

Bart, you wrote:

The Catholics used to teach that if you see a "No Swimming" sign and a baby
falls in the water, it's OK to break the swimming laws to save the baby.

Some people say, "All laws must be obeyed at all times no matter what, no excuses."

I would save the baby."

I could not help but think your analogy was better served to prove Gary's position, and mine I might add.

It is Snowden who is the one breaking the law to save the baby. The baby is people's right to live
a private life, at least as much as possible (we can't be naive). Once that baby is swept away,
and it becomes the norm for the government or companies they hire, to look through your private
correspondence, the battle is lost. It will be impossible to get that baby back. And America will
slowly but surely sink into a new East Germany.

So yeah, I'd save the baby too
Victor

I can see why you'd try to make that connection but I can't buy it.
If a baby falls in water, it has what, 15-30 seconds to live?

You can say someone in Utah recording the time of your phone call
is as urgent as the dead-in-30-seconds baby, but they're just not the same.

Besides, if Snowden's motives were pure, why did he steal 1.5M national security secrets
and then run to China? Why didn't he steal THREE secrets and "save America" that way?

No, Snowden is a greedy opportunist.
He stumbled onto the equivalent of the Pam Anderson porn tape
so he stole it and is now using that to become world-famous.

NY Daily News: Christie's a Thug

Link

When you've lost the business wing of the party, where can you go?
The editorial page of the New York Daily News, the page that robustly endorsed Romney
in 2012 and Bush in 2004, just published a blistering editorial calling this "Christie's Waterloo"
and pronouncing him finished as a presidential candidate.

In the best possible light, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie built a top staff of lying thugs
who threatened lives and safety to serve his political ends. If not, Christie is a lying thug himself.

                                               Pooooooooooooooooooow!

Christie's presidential ambitions are all but kaput, as he will be lambasted and lampooned
as a man of low character and horrible judgment, ” again viewing him in the most favorable way.

                                           Oooooooooooooooooof!

Take his denials of knowledge with skepticism, and the man is a monster.

Damn, they really, really don't like Christie.

Subject: Poverty

You know what I find amazing about these Repugs that talk about poverty, they have
no idea what poverty is. They never suffered a day in their life because they come from
fairly well off families. They don’t know what it is to be hungry (unless its their choice),
they don’t know what it is to be cold or on the street with no home to go to. They stand
at a podium and spout what needs to be done about poverty (mostly cutting people off from
the very things that help them get out of poverty) and they don’t have a clue what real poverty is.

Are we ever going to have anyone in Washington that really cares about those in need.

Goodell: NFL and Pot Might Work
American attitudes are changing very quickly

Link

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is leaving the door open on pot use for pro football players.
Although it’s been legal to buy and use marijuana in Colorado since Jan. 1, smoking marijuana
is still illegal under the NFL’s out-dated collective bargaining agreement.

When asked if a player might ever be allowed to use medical marijuana in states where it’s legal,
Goodell said he could envision a time when players use medical marijuana in states where it’s legal.

"I don't know what's going to develop as far as the next opportunity for medicine to evolve and to
help either deal with pain or help deal with injuries, but we will continue to support the evolution
of medicine," he said. He said he could envision a time when players use pot where it’s legal.

Subject: Ariel Sharon's 8-year coma

I personally think it's barbaric to keep someone alive in a coma for 8 years as was the case with
former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. A person should be allowed to die when they get to a
point when it's obvious that forcing them to linger for years is just plain cruel.

If we have a beloved cat or dog that has reached a point in their old age where it's clear it's over
we do the "humane" think and put the poor critter out of it's misery. Why we can't afford humans
the same dignity we give our pets is something I can't understand.

Subject: re: Pregnant and on Life Support

Hi Bart,

Although we disagree on the wisdom of keeping Marlize Munoz's body alive to allow her fetus
to come to term, I do believe you're someone who who would read a counter-argument and
spend a few minutes mulling it over. Not too many of us left on the net anymore, it seems.

Tru dat.

Four of my extended family members have had complex end-of-life situations -- probably something
that is not all that uncommon. One thing I have learned, is that when the brain is compromised, the
body doesn't simply go marching on in an uncomplicated way. All kinds of unfortunate things happen.

I think it is quite likely that the doctors attending to Marlise Munoz are struggling on a daily basis to
keep her organs functioning and her metabolism stable enough to support the growth of the fetus.
I think that if there was truly choice involved, the doctors would probably act on the knowledge that
the delivery of a healthy baby is a remote possibility at best and advise Erick Munoz that terminating
his wife's life support, as she requested, would be by far the best choice.

That's what being pro-choice is all about: letting people assess a messy situation and using their judgement
to get the best outcomes they can. Anti-choice is passing a blunt instrument of a law that substitutes rigid
words on paper for human judgement and causes unnecessary suffering and heartbreak.

I'll let somebody else discuss what the money issues will do to Erick Munoz's life.
Keep swinging the hammer,
Jerry

Having just glanced at that story, I found out later that the doctors are sure the fetus was
deprived of oxygen for too long, (mother was dead) so bringing it to term seems like a bad idea.

The state forcing this on that family is really bad.

Will Alaska be State #3?
Legal pot is breaking out all over

Link

Marijuana prohibition laws are slowly going up in smoke.

Can you believe how f-ing brain-dead ALL writing on pot is?
I'll bet you can't find a single article on legal pot that isn't full of bullshit, unfunny cliches,
as tho the writer thinks he's the funniest bastard in the world and he just can't help hissself.

An Alaska citizens' group is pushing to legalize recreational marijuana, which would make it
the third state to do so after Colorado and Washington.

Driven by growing public support, Campaign to Regulate Marijuana submitted more than 45,000
signatures Wednesday to Alaska election officials. It needs about 30,000 to qualify for the August ballot.

"The proposed initiative will take marijuana sales out of the underground market and put them
in legitimate, taxpaying businesses," said Tim Hinterberger, one of the initiative's sponsors.
"Replacing marijuana prohibition with a system of taxation and sensible regulation will
bolster Alaska's economy by creating jobs and generating revenue for the state."

That's true for every state, except for Oklahoma, of course.

Subject: that guy asked about Social Security

Of course you can file at 62. 62=70% of the whole benefit and each month after 62
the benefit % increases. Check out the retirement calculator at www.socialsecurity.gov
to find out what your 70% would be. At age 62 until you reach age 66 you are subject
to the “annual earnings test” What that means is that if you have earnings over $15480
you will have a 2 for 1 offset on any earnings over $15,480.

For example let’s say you are working and will have earning of $30,000 in 2014 and you
are between age 62-66 and you would like to start receiving benefits in 01/2014. The math
would be $30000-$15480 (what you can earn without penalty)=$14520/2=$7260.00.

Now let’s say your benefit rate is $1000 per month, SSA would keep your first 8 pays or
Jan-Aug. and you would receive benefits from Sept-Dec + your wages. Now this seems
really bad but when you reach age 66 they move you up the scale for each month they
had you in suspense to meet your estimate in each year. At the end of the year once your
taxes are done and IRS reports your earnings they settle up. If you made less than your
estimate or are do part of a check it is paid in a lump sum around the following July.
If you made more you owe.

Now let’s say you are working any earnings $80000 per year. $80000-15480,
/2=$32260/1000=32 month. 32>12 it would not make sense to file because you would
lock yourself in at a lower rate and not be due benefits. Check out the website for
“Special Monthly rule” if you are planning on retiring in the middle of the year.

Subject: Democracy Needs Whistleblowers

Hi Bart
While you are basically a good progressive, I think you have some conservative reactions, especially when it comes to Snowden.
I have decided to align myself with the likes of Anonymous and WikiLeaks.
I send this along, and maybe you’ve already seen it, for your consideration, and maybe a change of heart.
Robert

I'm not against whistleblowers but many Snowden/Wiki fans are extremists, to say the least.
1. There are people who think EVERY state secret MUST be revealed and that's insanity.

Funny how I can't get any Snowden fans to address that particular point.

I believe Manning stole/released 700,000 secrets.
I believe Snowden stole 1.5M secrets and is currently blackmailing America with them.

2. How can ANY sane person endorse the theft of 1.5M national security secrets
while the bastard runs to China and then Russia with them?

Funny how I can't get any Snowden fans to address that particular point.

3. If Snowden stole FIVE secrets that we needed to know, I might be on his side.

Funny how I can't get any Snowden fans to address that particular point.

4. When did "stealing because I can" become admirable behavior?

Can I get Snowden fans to answer the numbered questions?
