“Roger Vinson, a federal judge in Pensacola, Fla, has ruled that the individual mandate portion of the federal health care law, passed in March of last year, is unconstitutional…
In contrast with the Virginia ruling from last year, Judge Vinson found that the entire health care law must be struck down; that the so-called ‘individual mandate’ is not ‘severable.’ ”
“White House energy and climate adviser Carol Browner plans to step down, officials confirmed to Fox News, marking the latest change-up at the highest levels of the Obama administration.”
“Lang Lang the pianist says he chose it. Chairman Hu Jintao recognized it as soon as he heard it. Patriotic Chinese Internet users were delighted as soon as they saw the videos online. Early morning TV viewers in China knew it would be played an hour or two beforehand. At the White House State dinner on Jan. 19, about six minutes into his set, Lang Lang began tapping out a famous anti-American propaganda melody from the Korean War: the theme song to the movie ‘Battle on Shangganling Mountain.’…
The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades.”
“Routt County’s uber guru of alternative fuels vehicles, Fred Robinson, reports from Henderson Park that he has come up with a mix of gasoline and E85 ethanol he said his lawn mowers run well on, thus reducing his carbon footprint every time he does yard chores.”
“When you tote up the carbon emissions caused by clearing land to grow corn, fertilizing it and transporting it, corn ethanol leaves twice the carbon footprint as gasoline.”Time magazine admits:
“the biofuel boom is doing exactly the opposite of what its proponents intended”Hell, even Al Gore has admitted he only backed Ethanol for the bribes it could bring him and that Ethanol is a giant failure which wasted immeasurable amounts of tax payer money. Both the Libertarians at Reason.com and the Green fanatics at Friends of the Earth agree it is time to end the utterly wasteful Ethanol subsidies.
“Cable host Keith Olbermann and news channel MSNBC abruptly parted ways on Friday night, as the network announced that his contract had ended and the last installment of his show would air that evening.”
“The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.”
“In the vile attempt to tie Palin to the Tucson shooting we have witnessed the test run for how the left-wing blogosphere will target Republican candidates and propel false narratives into the mainstream media, and how the mainstream media will take those narratives and run with them.
If Palin is taken down politically over the Tucson shooting, there is not a single Republican candidate who can survive the coming onslaught.”
“President Obama says he wants to improve his relationship with businesses to create jobs. But his actions tell a different story.
Just ask the folks at Arch Coal (ACI). They were well into a huge new mining project in West Virginia, for which they had all the correct environmental permits, and which was going to add $250 million and 250 jobs to the economy. But President Obama's EPA just shut them down.”
“Lured by easier money and shorter prison sentences, Mafia figures and other violent criminals are increasingly moving into fraud involving the government's Medicare health insurance program for the elderly…
A Medicare scammer could easily net at least $25,000 a day while risking a relatively modest 10 years in prison if convicted on a single count. A cocaine dealer could take weeks to make that amount while risking up to life in prison [or getting shot on the street].”
“The co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party said he is worried about the threats he is receiving, including a remark by a shooting victim made to him at a televised town hall meeting.
Trent Humphries told The Associated Press on Sunday he was surprised when shooting victim James Eric Fuller took a picture of him and said ‘you're dead.’
The 63-year-old Fuller was arrested Saturday on disorderly conduct and threat charges and taken for a psychiatric exam.”
“The [federal] deficit is fourteen trillion dollars.”Dims will argue that this gaff was part of their satire.
“A Pima County Sheriff's spokesman told KGUN9 News that the department has charged Fuller with one count of threats and intimidation, and said they plan to charge him with at least one count of disorderly conduct. Humphries [the target of the alleged death threat] told KGUN9 News that he does plan to press those charges.”With ABC & Christiane Amapour involved, it should come as no surprise that this story goes from bad to worse.
“Jared Lee Loughner, now accused in the shootings of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others, walked through campus last fall rambling about his 'genocide school.' The video led Pima Community College to suspend him.”
“I write to alert you to a fairly [actually, massively] egregious error in Paul Krugman's Sunday column, headlined ‘Climate of Hate’. Mr. Krugman insists that the political right - far more than their ideological counterparts on the left - are guilty of using ‘eliminationist’ rhetoric, which he defines as ‘suggestions that those on the other side of a debate must be removed from that debate by whatever means necessary.’
Mr. Krugman provides a single example of ‘eliminationist’ rhetoric from conservatives: a statement by Rep. Michele Bachmann that she wants her constituents ‘armed and dangerous.’
Mr. Krugman took those three words completely out of context, and in doing so distorted Ms. Bachmann's actual statement. The full quote reads: ‘I'm going to have materials for people when they leave. I want people armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax, because we need to fight back.’
Clearly, Ms. Bachmann was not stating her desire for a constituency that is literally ‘armed and dangerous.’ She used the phrase as a metaphor - she wanted her constituents ‘armed’ with information so that they would be ‘dangerous’ to cap and trade legislation and Democrats' energy agenda.”
“According to NOAA scientists, 2010 tied with 2005 as the warmest year of the global surface temperature record, beginning in 1880.”
“Our [peer reviewed] paper… has clearly documented an estimated warm bias of about 30% in the IPCC reported surface temperature trends. This bias also brings into question the claim that 11 of the 12 years in the period 1995 to 2006 were the warmest on record. Moreover, despite the claim in the IPCC (2007) report, the tropospheric and surface temperature trends have not NOT reconciled...The cited peer reviewed science is:
The lack of news coverage on this documented bias which has appeared in the peer reviewed literature on the Klotzbach et al (2009) paper is another clear example of the failure of most of the journalism community to cover news that conflicts with the IPCC (2007) perspective.”
“If only we had implemented the Left's plans -- and restricted political speech -- the entire Civil War could have been averted.”
“My name is Betsy [or SBVOR, or any other Conservative]. I'm a… killer…
I intentionally entered a gathering held by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and shot her at near-point-blank range… I didn't actually pull the trigger, but I'm as guilty as the psychopath who did…
Does the left really believe that the ‘rhetoric’ of Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, and Fox is incendiary? Do they fail to understand that the language of conservative ‘talk’ is the echo of ordinary citizens calling for limited government and individual freedoms? Or do they silence us because we know our current leaders don't actually believe in their own limited power?...
My name is Betsy [or SBVOR, or any other Conservative], and I'm a killer. They are determined to stop me before I kill again.”
“A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 28% of Adults say the shooting in Arizona was the result of political anger in the country.”

“In Abu Dhabi today, at a town hall meeting at Abu Dhabi's Zayed University for a taped show on MBC television called ‘Sweet Talk,’ Secretary of State Hillary Clinton labeled the Tucson shooter an ‘extremist.’…
The label ‘extremist’ in that context suggests a political motivation.”
“ ‘The ability to buy a weapon that fires hundreds of bullets in less than a minute’ is a problem, said [Illinois Rep. Mike] Quigley. ‘He [Jared Loughner] had an additional magazine capability. That’s not what a hunter needs. That’s not what someone needs to defend their home. That’s what you use to hunt people.’ ”1) Loughner had a 30 round clip. HOW does that equate to “hundreds”?
“When even a plurality of Democrats don't think harsh rhetoric had anything to do with the shooting, it's clear that liberals' desperate attempts to pin this attack on conservatives have been failing. This is largely a result of the fact that a) there has been no evidence to support such a link and b) conservatives did a good job pushing back against the left-wing effort to exploit this tragedy.”
