Tensions are running high at MSNBC, at least surrounding veteran host Joe Scarborough who seems to be increasingly discontented at his network’s decision to market itself as the cable net of choice for Bush haters. That hasn’t sat well with the likes of the far left Keith Olbermann who has played a large role in getting MSNBC to pursue this strategy

The implosions are begining. Let the fun begin. Watch the video at the website.

In the 19th century Americans took very seriously Washington’s warning against “entangling alliances” which might interfere with the country’s unfolding “Manifest Destiny” of dynamic growth and expansion. A corollary to this belief was that the “Great American Democracy” was a unique-perhaps even divinely inspired-form of political organization vastly superior to the Old World’s tired regimes of aristocratic privilege and downtrodden masses.

In the 20th century America entered upon the world stage powerfully and decisively coming to the aid of embattled European democracies and leading them to victory in two world wars and the Cold War. Launching these extraordinary interventions were three memorable Democratic presidents - Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman.

It is billed as the world’s cheapest car — and the world is eager for it to hit the streets of India.

The Nano, which was announced in January and is expected to debut later this year, is the first in a wave of extremely cheap cars intended to put a multitude of new motorists behind the wheel for the first time. It carries a basic price of 100,000 Indian rupees, or roughly $2,500, about half the current cost of its nearest rival.

I added this post after reading robert108’s post on Pelosi’s energy proposal. With all the politicking of our problem with oil in this country. I would think that our members on Congress would be looking to the future and determining what trials we face in obtaining available oil. What do we hear instead from the GOP....stand aside and we will fix the problem. Not information that the American people can use to help them push for off-shore drilling or info they can use to understand the problem we face with more demand for oil by other countries and how that will effect us.
The article shows that with India ready to produce a very cheap car. The increase in demand for oil in the near future is going to be much higher. Per an CNBC discussion I listend to last week, the manufacturer, are also in talks with China to produce the car there for the people of China. The rise in demand will be over the top. 
Yet our Congress is placing the oil problem in the politcal column on how to scare the American people into voting for their party. The American people need to hear how the increase for oil in other nations will effect our capability of obtaining what little available oil there may be in the future. Unless we start producing our own resources, we are in for a major hurt in this country. What we hear instead is how WE need to cut down on our consumption and everything will be peachy keen. Cutting down on our oil consumption is a good start but will not relieve the pressure for the dwindling available oil. Now I know how the Romans felt while Nero played his fiddle.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years; It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons

Zucker’s latest movie, An American Carol, is unlike anything that has ever come out of Hollywood. It is a frontal attack on the excesses of the American left from several prominent members of a growing class of Hollywood conservatives. Until now, conservatives in Hollywood have always been too few and too worried about a backlash to do anything serious to challenge the left-wing status quo.

This is how Stalin and Lenin got into power. I am in complete amazement that the MSM is not attacking this kind of socialistic thinking.
Part of the money would go to the States to offset their money woes. Why??? If the State Government cannot balance their budget, it means they did not plan properly and have to make cuts. I have to do that all the time at my household. Yet, Obama wants to reward a State that is run improperly. Typical Liberal thinking. We say we help them while we make them dependent on us. Everytime I think we hit a new low, the sinkhole opens up again.

Very funny article about Obama’s trip. I especially liked the line “The Great Prophet Algore of Nobel and Oscar” The linke to to the artical is listed below. Enjoy

The father of a Christian family has gone to court to fend off a custody claim launched by those suspected of kidnapping and raping the father’s two young daughters, according to a new report from Compass Direct.

“Yesterday a judge in Pakistan’s Punjab province ordered further investigation into the kidnapping of Saba Younis, 12, and Aneela Younis, 10, who went missing on June 26 in the small town of Chowk Munda,” the Compass report said.

“The kidnappers filed for custody of the girls at the local police house on June 28, stating that the sisters had converted to Islam and their father no longer had jurisdiction over them,” the report said.
