			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month on his radio show, Glenn Beck talked about an Amtrack trip he made in which Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters got reserved seats, even though Amtrack doesn&#8217;t reserve seats.  When Beck appeared on The View a short time later, both women called him a liar among other things.</p>
<p>The following is from <a href="http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=352443&#038;widget=1">Breitbart.tv</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Breitbart.tv Co-Founder &#038; Co-Host of &#8216;The B-Cast&#8217; Scott Baker decided to sort through the allegations.</p>
<p>During his investigation, Scott uncovered new information about the request ABC made to Amtrak. He even received an e-mail from Whoopi Goldberg.</p>
<p>&#8220;Seven-Minute&#8221; Slam is a simple attempt (with the help of Pam Key at Naked Emperor News) to set the record straight about the allegations made on &#8216;The View.&#8217; </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Received this from a friend and thought I&#8217;d share it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s 3 things that we all should ponder.</p>
<p>1. Cows<br />
2. The Constitution<br />
3. The Ten Commandments</p>
<p>COWS</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, cows.  Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic a few years ago, our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.</p>
<p>THE CONSTITUTION</p>
<p>They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don&#8217;t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we&#8217;re not using it anymore.</p>
<p>THE 10 COMMANDMENTS</p>
<p>The real reason that we can&#8217;t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post &#8220;Thou Shalt Not Steal,&#8221; &#8220;Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,&#8221; and &#8220;Thou Shall Not Lie&#8221; in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians&#8230;It creates a hostile work environment.</p>
<p>Just somthing to ponder</p>

<h3>&#8220;There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.&#8221;</h3>
<p>&mdash; PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009</p>
<h1>With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.</h1>
<p></center></p>
<p>Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, we do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance. More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan&#8217;s &#8220;lost decade&#8221; in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. To improve the economy, policy makers should focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production. Lower tax rates and a reduction in the burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is nuts. Robert Reich, who served as labor secretary under President Clinton, and was an economic advisor to then president-elect Obama testified before the House Steering and Policy Committee Jan. 7, 2009, on federal funding of infrastructure projects throughout the nation.</p>
<p>Reich said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It seems to me that infrastructure spending is a very important and good way of stimulating the economy. The challenge will be to do it quickly, to find projects that can be done that will have a high social return that also can be done with the greatest speed possible. I am concerned, as I&#8217;m sure many of you are, that these jobs not simply go to high skilled people who are already professionals or <strong>to white male construction workers</strong>. I have nothing against white male construction workers I&#8217;m just saying there are a lot of other people who have needs as well. There are ways in which the money can be, criteria can be set so the money does go to others, the long term unemployed, minorities, women.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Here, see for yourself.<br />
