Story <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110118/pl_nm/us_obama_regulations">Here<br /> </a><br /> No more regulation for the sake of regulating? We'll have to wait and see...but the words are in the right direction! <br /> <br /> Government's stranglehold on business and the idea that government needs to have such a hold are not only currently hurting the economy but will continue to do so if the practice of regulation for the sake of regulation isn't ended.<br /> <br /> Obama has had this argument thrown in his face repeatedly for the last two years, so why now is he giving it a look?<br /> <br /> <script src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate" type="text/javascript"> </script><script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script><script type="text/javascript"> document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62)); </script><br /> <div><a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&amp;afsid=1" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;" target="_top">Your Ad Here</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-8359772093467405347?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/LPVOebvDXG0" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/LPVOebvDXG0/common-sense-from-obama-obama-announces.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2011/01/common-sense-from-obama-obama-announces.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580793024933053878.post-2251615418100340325Wed, 22 Dec 2010 16:10:00 +00002010-12-22T11:10:48.275-05:00No Global WarmingAccuWeather’s Bastardi debunks global warming causing cold weather mythJoe Bastardiwarns of severe 2011 droughtGlobal CoolingSome have blamed global warming, specifically the “Arctic paradox.” However, AccuWeather’s chief hurricane and long-range forecaster Joe Bastardi told the Fox Business Network on Tuesday you can chalk it up to three things – oceans, sunspots and volcanoes.<br /> <br /> “A few years ago, about why we have to start looking for more and more of this [cold weather],” Bastardi said. “It’s called the triple crown of cooling – the natural reversal of the oceans cycles. Three years ago the Pacific went into the cold state. Solar activity, very low sunspot activity and volcanic activity, not the kind you see in the tropics but the kind we had in the Arctic regions a couple of winters ago — and this is something that could be causing a return to for instance, the times of the Victorian era when they used to have ice fairs in the early-1800s around Christmastime on the Thames and you’re seeing that type of thing go on."

Maybe they should send it to the pastor in Florida. <br /> <br /> It was etched in the blood of a dictator in a ghoulish bid for piety. Over the course of two painstaking years in the late 1990s, Saddam Hussein had sat regularly with a nurse and an Islamic calligrapher; the former drawing 27 litres of his blood and the latter using it as a macabre ink to transcribe a Qur’an. But since the fall of Baghdad, almost eight years ago, it has stayed largely out of sight – locked away behind three vaulted doors. It is the one part of the ousted tyrant’s legacy that Iraq has simply not known what to do with.<br /> <br /> Full Story <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/20/quran-etched-in-saddam-husseins-blood-poses-dilemma-for-iraq-leaders/">Here<br /> </a><br /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate"></script> <br /> <br /> <!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2008-10-17 12:02:00 --> <script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script> <script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script> <div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-2169052201457599760?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/kmSN8qSoB34" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/kmSN8qSoB34/quran-etched-in-saddam-husseins-blood.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2010/12/quran-etched-in-saddam-husseins-blood.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580793024933053878.post-8224445543157036056Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:27:00 +00002010-12-20T14:27:27.358-05:00msnbcdon't tellPat Buchanongays in the militaryrepeal of don't askgay marriagefreedomNot everyone is thrilled about the prospects of the post-“don’t ask, don’t tell” era of the U.S. military.<br /> <br /> Pat Buchanan argued that the repeal of the Clinton-era policy on homosexuals in the military will have the effect of imposing the values of Fire Island, a popular destination off the coast of Long Island in New York for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender tourists, on the military.<br /> <br /> He goes on to say "These are 19-year-old Marines.

Just because you don't agree with how they live their lives doesn't mean they don't and shouldn't have the right to do so. Imposing your own set of beliefs on someone is one of the oldest struggles of this world, I just can't believe that we haven't figured this one out yet.<br /> <br /> Let homosexuals serve freely, love freely and live freely.

Politicians are using it to buy votes. Trial lawyers are using it to get rich.<br /> <br /> I personally know of people who have no connection to farming at all who got Pigford checks. People with potted plants in their apartments claimed to be farmers and got paid. I saw an instance where eight Pigford checks went to one house. There are drug addicts and pushers who have received payments who have never farmed a day in their life.<br /> <br /> There was discrimination at the US Department of Agriculture. It needed to be dealt with. I was suing the USDA before Timothy Pigford even filed suit. I wrote to attorney Al Pires, who eventually filed a class action lawsuit against the USDA, but he saw that there wasn’t going to be a huge amount of money for him. So he passed. What he did find was a way to work a scam from inside the Star City, Arkansas USDA office by paying a USDA employee to process claimants. This employee would take from $5,000 to $25,000 for each successful Pigford claim. Pires was in this totally for the money. He’s made far more money than any black farmer.<br /> <br /> Additional Information at <a href="http://biggovernment.com/">Biggovernment.com</a><br /> <br /> <script src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate" type="text/javascript"> </script><script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script><script type="text/javascript"> document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62)); </script><br /> <div><a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&amp;afsid=1" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;" target="_top">Your Ad Here</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-983140478896125364?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/d1H_IfHwlM8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/d1H_IfHwlM8/black-farmers-bill-signed-by-obama.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2010/12/black-farmers-bill-signed-by-obama.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580793024933053878.post-1437264308496903715Wed, 08 Dec 2010 14:23:00 +00002010-12-08T09:23:48.989-05:00the leftobamademocratsTax cutsgovernmentrepublicanskeith olbermannObama shaking up his base.<br /> <br /> <object width="420" height="245" id="msnbc34050c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" /><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=40559453&amp;width=420&amp;height=245" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed name="msnbc34050c" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" width="420" height="245" FlashVars="launch=40559453&amp;width=420&amp;height=245" allowscriptaccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><p style="font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 420px;">Visit msnbc.com for <a style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com">breaking news</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">world news</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">news about the economy</a></p><br /> As you can clearly see from this video the ideology of left is that tax cuts add to the deficit, when in actuality the reason tax cuts add to the debt is spending not the tax cuts themselves.

Sure they spend the money the government gives to them but they are not buying luxury or things that stimulate the economy, no they spend it on power and food things that do little to stimulate and more to maintain. Is there a right answer to this? Is tax cuts or unemployment benefits the right answer? <br /> <br /> Maybe not, but Olbermann while trashing tax cuts for "adding" to the deficit doesn't mention the fact that unemployment "benefits" do add to the deficit and for no other reason than they are spending. You can twist as he does the tax cuts add to the deficit argument all you want but the fact of the matter remains the only reason tax cuts add to the deficit is because you are spending more than you take in. Unemployment benefits are nothing but spending and that’s not a twist of the facts at all. <br /> <br /> Olbermann as do other socialists think that you should raise taxes on the rich to pay for such programs. And while I do somewhat agree as a matter of principle, that people with money should help the less fortunate and the poor should be given a helping hand when needed, I don't believe that is a function of government. And while in theory the government should be of the people and for the people our government has been anything but for decades. They are of themselves for themselves.<br /> <br /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate"></script> <!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2008-10-17 12:02:00 --> <script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script> <script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script> <div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-1437264308496903715?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/oOaWeaaeTiI" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/oOaWeaaeTiI/obama-shakes-up-his-base-with-tax-cuts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2010/12/obama-shakes-up-his-base-with-tax-cuts.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580793024933053878.post-6827546980169299074Tue, 07 Dec 2010 17:05:00 +00002010-12-07T12:05:37.758-05:00Facebookclassified State DepartmentColumbia UniversityWikiLeaksTwitterTalking about WikiLeaks on Facebook or Twitter could endanger your job prospects, a State Department official warned students at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs this week.<br /> <br /> Full Story <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/04/state-department-to-colum_n_792059.html">Here<br /> </a><br /> <br /> From: Office of Career Services <br /> Date: Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 3:26 PM <br /> Subject: Wikileaks - Advice from an alum <br /> To: "Office of Career Services (OCS)" <br /> <br /> Hi students,<br /> <br /> We received a call today from a SIPA alumnus who is working at the State Department.

The team stopped trying to beat the other team in order to hold them to under 100 points by passing the ball around and running out the clock. Maybe someone should tell this coach the point of basketball is to score more points than the other team. And the point of athletics is to teach the athletes to try their best no matter what. <br /> <br /> This coach instead decides that the point of basketball is to hold the other team to under 100 points. And when you are getting beat give up and hold the ball and run out the clock. What a fool. He should be fired!!!<br /> <br /> The calls of moral victory resounded after Yates (Texas) High, the defending RivalsHigh national champions, knocked off Chavez (Texas) High, 97-65 last week. According to the Houston Chronicle, the Lions -- again ranked among the nation's best -- rested their starters throughout a fourth quarter in which Chavez didn't even attempt to score, instead passing the ball around to run out the clock before Yates could reach the century mark.<br /> <br /> "We've never had a team score 100 on us," Chavez coach Kevin Pullum told the Chronicle. "We knew that if we couldn't beat Yates we could beat them a second way, and that is to not let them score 100 points.<br /> <br /> Full Story <a href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/highschool/blog/prep_rally/post/Texas-team-stops-trying-to-score-celebrates-32-?urn=highschool-290350">Here<br /> </a><br /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate"></script> <!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2008-10-17 12:02:00 --> <script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script> <script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script> <div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-3328737286187869487?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/iOkxIL101S4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/iOkxIL101S4/celebrate-losing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2010/12/celebrate-losing.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580793024933053878.post-7627880832810040901Tue, 30 Nov 2010 17:12:00 +00002010-11-30T12:12:08.952-05:00Federal Government overreachLocal Governments told to buy new street signsyou can't read ALL CAPSThis is yet another example of how "We the People" are letting ourselves be run over by "Them the Government", this is not what our founders had in mind I can guarantee that.<br /> <br /> The federal government says THIS is harder to read than This. <br /> <br /> Got that? ALL CAPS are bad. Mixed Case is Good. <br /> <br /> The rules are part of a tangle of regulations included in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. <br /> <br /> The 800-plus page book tells local governments they: <br /> <br /> -- Should increase the size of the letters on street signs from the current 4 inches to 6 inches on all roads with speed limits over 25 miles per hour. The target date for this to be completed is January 2012. <br /> <br /> -- Install signs with new reflective letters more visible at night by January 2018. <br /> <br /> -- And whenever street name signs are changed for any reason, they can no longer be in ALL CAPS. <br /> <br /> And even better is the amount of money this will cost local governments in a time when they are struggling to bring in revenue.<br /> <br /> In Milwaukee this will cost the cash-strapped city nearly $2 million -- double the city's entire annual for traffic control. <br /> <br /> In Dinwiddie County, Virginia -- with lots of roads but not many people -- the cost comes to about $10 for every man, woman and child. <br /> <br /> Full Story <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/local-governments-told-buy-street-signs/story?id=12256322">Here<br /> </a><br /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/sharethis.js#publisher=3e68a1be-f63c-409c-b4af-7eab04900ad2&amp;type=website&amp;style=rotate"></script> <!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2008-10-17 12:02:00 --> <script type="text/javascript"> var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF'; var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000'; var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF'; var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC'; var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000'; try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';} </script> <script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=888718&zs=3330305f323530&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script> <div><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=888718&afsid=1" style="font-weight:bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;">Your Ad Here</a></div><!-- End: AdBrite --><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6580793024933053878-7627880832810040901?l=randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~4/yBbHILazIw8" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RandomPoliticalThoughtsAndNews/~3/yBbHILazIw8/you-cant-read-all-caps-says-federal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Monkey Suit)0http://randompoliticalthoughtsandnews.blogspot.com/2010/11/you-cant-read-all-caps-says-federal.html
