Tuesday With Hot News * Open Thread

Sweet Mama! The Loathsome Alan Grayson Is Down in the Polls … HOT! Ethics Foundation Calls For Investigation of Barbara Boxer … But Fiorina Is In the Hospital … UPDATE: New Anti-Boxer Ad

“The Despicable Alan Grayson” is what Larry Johnson called him in a recent post. “Despicable” works for me. And the best news is that the most outrageously big-mouthed ass in the House may be getting what he deserves. From “Poll: Webster Beats Down ‘Angry’ Grayson“, via Sunshine State News:

Holding a steady 7-point lead over a controversial and increasingly malodorous incumbent, Republican Daniel Webster is poised to knock out U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a new Sunshine State News Poll shows.

Webster, a former state senator, leads Grayson, D-Orlando, 48-41. Florida TEA Party candidate Peg Dunmire garnered 4 percent, No Party Affiliation candidate George Metcalfe got 1 percent, and 5 percent of respondents were undecided.

In a previous poll, conducted Sept. 25, Webster led Grayson 43-36, an identical 7-point margin.

“Webster has to be the favorite here. Grayson has failed to turn his negative image around, and is still viewed in a negative light by a 55-38 margin,” said Jim Lee, president of Voter Survey Service, which conducted both polls. “This means Grayson has very little if any room to grow.”

HOT! An ethics foundation is going after Barbara Boxer. Will this affect the senate race in California? Or will the news that Carly Fiorina is in the hospital, purportedly due to an infection following her reconstructive surgery, overshadow the ethics news? Via Roger Simon at Pajamas Media:

In a breaking development that may affect the close California Senate race, Pajamas Media has learned The Foundation for Ethics in Public Service sent a letter to Eric Holder last Thursday requesting the attorney general “begin an investigation to determine whether United States Senator Barbara Boxer violated any criminal laws or should be liable for any civil penalty for failure to disclose real property on her Personal Financial Disclosure Reports between 2002 and 2010.”

I listened to parts of Morning Joe this a.m. and they believe that, unlike the Whitman/Brown gubernatorial contest, Fiorina still has a shot at unseating Boxer. After all, as Fox News reports, Real Clear Politics characterizes this race as a “dead heat” contest. So close. Such bad timing for Fiorina to have to go to the hospital. Dammit.

I just don’t get Californians. Why would they not, this year, try somebody new? Not a lifer politician like Jerry Brown. Not the same-old, same-old Barbara Boxer. Californians are a strange breed …. they’re kinda “out there.”

FYI: I have MSNBC on, and they covered Fiorina’s hospitalization, and didn’t say a single word about the ethics foundation’s letter to Attorney General Eric Holder. Figures.

AND THIS IS THE END of today’s open thread. I am having far, far too many issues with booting up my computer to chance adding more information. It’s your turn now.

UPDATE: NEW BOXER AD:

    Joy Behar about Sharon Angle: ” This Bitch Is Going to Hell”
    My question: “When will Joy Behar Be Fired From “The View?”
     
    Via Mediaite, a mundane clip in some ways and a noteworthy one in another. Mundane because (a) this isn’t the first time Behar’s dropped a B-bomb on a prominent conservative woman, natch, and (b) if you needed a reminder of just how shrill and buffoonish she can be, you already got one two weeks ago. What makes it noteworthy is less the clip itself than what it portends for the next 168 hours: We are, after all, now seven short days away from Election Day, which means Refudiation Week has officially begun. And needless to say, as the reality of the wave crashes in, I suspect we’re going to see some mighty interestingcoping mechanisms playing out among among liberals. Pelosi’s already entered some sort of Queeg-ian fugue state of denial, and last night on Twitter Olbermann was promising a 20-minute mega-special comment rant tomorrow about the tea party. By the end of the week I expect Bob Beckel to be weeping openly on-air and near-hourly references to 1933 Germany on MSNBC. And that’s just the next week; imagine what the reaction will be like next Wednesday after the results are in. Imagine.
    Exit question: Could it be that when she said “hell,” Behar was simply making a cheeky reference to the Senate? Because in that case, she’s right about Angle.

    Bad news for Dems: Rain in the
    forecast for 2010 Election Day
     
    The Hill [Washington, DC],
    by Kevin Cullum   

    Original Article

    10/26/2010

    In more bad news for Democrats, rain is in the forecast for much of the country on Election Day. Weather tracking websites, including weather.com and The Old Farmer’s Almanac, are calling for rain in the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast regions, with chances for precipitation in other parts of the country as well. According to Laurel Harbridge, a Northwestern University political science professor, GOP voters are not typically discouraged by rain. “Republicans are helped by bad weather … it does harm Democratic prospects.”

    The more I read and the more I hear about the Dems – I just have to step back and ask myself – why in the hell was I a member of that party for about 40 years?  I hate to admit it but I guess I was a ‘sheep’ and followed the party line becuz……………………. don’t know why – the treatment of Hillary was what got me really more into questioning the dems and the rest just followed – I have become an Independent and I doubt very much if I will ever vote for a dem again – I don’t recognize the party, the lies, the corruption, the hatred, – I truly do not understand why gays and minorities belong to this party – if the dems really did want the best for women, gays & minorities, well, facts speak for themselves – they are considered useful for elections but expendable in the long run – no more……………………………….

    November 2nd – 7 days away – I hope this will truly be a tsunami and that the RINO’s will also be booted into submission by the people who are coming into DC – by the way, all those staffers need to be fired too – they are still progressives & think they really run DC – unemployment will look good on them………………………..

    President Obama is spending the next week crisscrossing the country in support of Democratic candidates before this year’s midterm elections. While the president may do a great job of energizing the base, he may not be able to convert any Independents who have yet to decide for whom they will vote. Currently, two-thirds of Americans (67%) have a negative opinion of the job President Obama is doing while just over one-third (37%) have a positive opinion. This continues the president’s downward trend and he is now at the lowest job approval rating of his presidency.

    susiepuma: Don’t be so hard on yourself.  Today’s Democrat party is not the one of our parents’  — or at least not as Progressive/Socialist.  2008 was their opening and they took it.  They hijacked the Dems.  In 2008 we had a one party government, liberal Dems and liberal Repubs.  That’s what gave rise to those “extremist” tea party people.  That’s why both the RINOs and the current D party are hyperventilating over them.  That’s why Murkowski is doing a write-in campaign.  Any time you hear a Repub talk about how many moderate D’s they won over, you’re not hearing a true conservative speak.  And a true conservative is not interested in big government and defending the business-as-usual, you-scratch-my-back…, earmarks, rip-off that RINOs and Dems want.

    So the Court wants non-citizens to vote?  Well if I and others as citizens have the same rights I want the same benefits, tax exemptions and free passes.  I want food stamps too.

    Someone should pick up a history book. Ancient Rome did the same.  Granted citizenship rights to those from foreign countries that served in the Roman Army.     Rome lasted for over 2000 years. When they introduced bread, circuses, and the public dole many Romans said sure we’ll take it.

    When the Goths, VisiGoths, Vandals and other groups invaded Rome was toast.

    After almost 2 thousand of years of dominance Rome was brought down by the same people the people in charge of Rome derided as dirty, filthy, ignorant idiots. 

    Funny how Obama derides his own people in the same way.  Yet he canoot fathom why so many are so angry.  Newsflash Obama.  The peasants may be revolting but there’s a lot more of them than there are of you and your minions.

    Attention Carol Haka,
    I wss just thinking, maybe you could take advantage of election time to do something bold, to attract attention to your situation. I say call your congressman, call your senator, write a letter to the editor of your local paper, find a local commentator who will hear your story. Write to the CEO of a business, similar to what yours was. Tell these people how good you were at your job. Blow your own horn.

    FROM THE COMMENTS

    (They are all good)

    3. cfbleachers 

    VDH, what we are witnessing is the electorate playing the groom in an arranged marriage, lifting the veil for the first time.

    We look into the face of Pelosi/Reid/Obama legislation and take a good, long look at it.

    The media in their pocket arranged this marriage, sold us on attributes that turned out to be worse than a sham.

    The Inspector General for TARP has told us that Treasury is playing fast and loose with reporting on the costs, benefits and returns. They cook the books for October, but intend to show us the real books after the election, apparently.

    Just like the cooked books at Fannie and Freddie were buried by the Water Carriers and Frank, Dodd and now it appears Barbara Boxer…intended to keep all that swept nicely under the rug.

    It’s funny…all non-leftists are called “racist” at the drop of a hat. Yet that’s not how it plays out in real life. Just ask Juan Williams. The people who stood by him, who defended him, who had his back…the dreaded Fox News. And the people who shamefully treated him shabbily, fired him by cell phone, said “there is nothing you can say”, who said he needed a psychiatrist…were the “genteel and well-mannered” NPR queens.

    The Glenn Beck rally was a nice outing, with respectful people who cleaned up after themselves. The “great unwashed” were meticulous in keeping the grounds looking pristine.

    The “environmentalism” loving socialists? Treated the grounds like a personal waste dump.

    The “transparency lovers” have met in secret and passed legislation in the dark, hired “czars” to do their dirty work and cooked the books at every turn.

    The irony cannot be lost on anyone except the mindless drivel spouters, “useless idiots” at Kos, and the Soros funded media hacks. The whole 40 year narrative has been a fraud of inversion.

    The veil has been lifted.  And the ugliness is there for all to see.

    The hostility and jaded news coverage that the Tea Party movement evokes suggests that it must be onto something really big — beyond anti-incumbent attitudes or current-issue debates of Democrats or Republicans. The Tea Party is animated by powerful enduring ideas expressed in the nation’s founding through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution: freedom, the natural law of inalienable rights and the sovereignty of the people that requires limited government. Remarkably, the Tea Party movement has gained national prominence with unpaid volunteers in just a year and a half. Its people come from every walk of life….

This is in your face anti-Catholicism.

    Democrats are turning to black voters for help in next week’s midterm elections, hoping they can be the jolt of energy needed to stem projected lossesby winning key competitive congressional and gubernatorial races. Democratic strategists say huge turnout from black voters, the party’s most loyal supporters, could help unseat Gov. Rick Perry in Texas, push the Florida gubernatorial race into the Democratic column, defend Senate seats in Nevada, Illinois and Pennsylvania and even potentially spoil the GOP’s efforts to capture the 39 seats they need to take over the House.

    On the evening of Dec. 3 last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics sent an advance copy of the next morning’s jobs report to the White House. It’s standard procedure for top White House and Federal Reserve officials to get an early look at the numbers, but there was nothing standard about this particular report. It showed that job losses had all but stopped in November, after nearly two years of big declines. White House aides exulted. Christina Romer, a top economist, brought a copy of the numbers to the Oval Office, and President Obama embraced her.

    President Obama should make the most of his “Daily Show” appearance on Wednesday night – charming the pants off Jon Stewart and the crowd, as he did when he showed up there two years ago. It’s a terrific show, Stewart is a great interviewer and Obama makes good television. Then, the President should cancel all future trivial media appearances. While they may have kept him personally popular, in broad terms they’ve degraded the Obama brand. Obama’s handlers were supposed to be smarter than this. They were supposed to use his celebrity strategically to advance his agenda.

(Snip) Lawmakers won’t start debating whether to extend the cuts, which expire Dec. 31, until after the Nov. 2 elections. Because it takes weeks to prepare withholding schedules, the Internal Revenue Service will probably have to assume the cuts will expire and direct employers to increase payroll deductions starting Jan. 1, experts say.

    In a year when the electorate is expected to repudiate the president’s policies at the polls, there is a certain irony to the fact that this rejection may include not only Barack Obama’s home state, but his old Senate seat as well. Illinois has been a solidly blue state for over a decade now. This is not so much because its residents have abandoned traditional Midwestern values as it is because the Chicago machine’s corrupting influence has been so effective in keeping Democrats in office for so long and in suppressing opposition.

As comedian Dennis Miller has said, “Racism is the new ‘doody-head.’” Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul’s plight arguably has been the most visible.

    Our Contemptible Congress

    Most people whom we elect to Congress are either ignorant of, have contempt for or are just plain stupid about the United States Constitution. You say: “Whoa, Williams, you’re really out of line! You’d better explain.” Let’s look at it. Rep. Phil Hare, D-Ill., responding to a question during a town hall meeting, said he’s “not worried about the Constitution.” That was in response to a question about the constitutionality of Obamacare.

    GOP funding strategy

    A year ago, two top Republican strategists sat down for lunch at the venerable Mayflower Hotel, five blocks from the White House, calculating how to exploit the voter anger they had seen erupt at Democratic town-hall meetings that summer. Today, the money-raising success of the GOP-allied attack led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Karl Rove-inspired American Crossroads has stunned opponents and even its own architects.

    Hey, y’all!  Leave California alooooooone!!!   We’ve had mostly Republican governors ( — all two-term (!): Reagan, Dukemagian (sp?), Wilson, and Arnie –)  for most of my lifetime and they really sucked!!  Hell, even Clint Eastwood supported Gray Davis during The Terminator’s power grab of the Governor’s seat.  This said, I did NOT vote for the mean-spirited, misogynist Brown.

    Quite frankly, I don’t understand how Whitman is losing to Brown.  It doesn’t make sense, especially when you consider such Republican areas as Orange county and the Central Valley which has been almost destroyed (40% unemployment!) by an environmental law protecting a small fish. Also, how is it that people are voting for Fiorina and not Meg?  Doesn’t make sense that some would vote Repub for one candidate and Dem for the other. Something rotten is going on.  Also, yesterday my husband and I mailed in our absentee ballots, and low and behold after mailing them I found a
    nondescript insert with very small print stating that this year’s return postage for ballots would be two stamps (61 cents) instead of the usual one stamp!  For enthusiastic voters who voted early this week (i.e. Independents, Non-affiliated, and Repubs), we will most likely not get our ballots back before this week.  How convenient!  Nothing was ever mentioned in the media about the change in postage.  I’m calling the CA Sec of State’s office to give her an ear full.

    Albany – This doesn’t bode well for New York’s congressional Democrats: Freshman Rep. Scott Murphy’s once-comfortable lead over upstart Republican Chris Gibson has suddenly become a nine-point deficit. The latest Siena poll shows Gibson – a retired Army colonel with a Ph.D. in government – leading Murphy 51 to 37 percent in the sprawling Albany-area congressional district. Just last month, he trailed Murphy 37 to 54 percent. The survey found Gibson made huge gains among independents, turning a 28-point deficit into a 7-point lead, but he also shored up his base in heavily Republican district.

The real answer is AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The union’s president, Gerald McEntee, reports proudly that AFSCME will be contributing $87.5 million in this cycle, entirely or almost entirely to Democrats.

    Republicans are headed for a blowout election win that seems certain to seize more than enough seats to knock out the Democrats and take control of the House. The Hill 2010 Midterm Election poll, surveying nearly 17,000 likely voters in 42 toss-up districts over four weeks, points to a massive Republican wave that, barring an extraordinary turnaround, will deliver crushing nationwide defeats for President Obama’s party. The data suggest a GOP pickup that could easily top 50 seats (the party needs 39 for control of the House).

    MRC Study: “News” Media Aid

    The Democrats’ strategy to salvage the 2010 campaign was to distract voters from their record over the past two years and paint their opponents as wacky extremists. Win or lose, the Democrats got a lot of help from their friends in the supposedly objective “news” media. MRC analysts reviewed the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts from September 1 through October 25. Key findings: ■ Only conservative/Tea Party candidates cast as “extreme.” Congressional Democrats and President Obama are facing voters’ wrath because of their extreme agenda over the past two years: government-run health care; massive ….

  • donjo

    From Ed Koch:  ”Why would intelligent voters leave the Democratic Party that they endorsed so heavily two years ago in the 2008 presidential election? The reason is obvious – deep, deep disappointment in the record of President Obama. The President has wasted many opportunities in his term to date, and has lost by his own admission almost every battle for the hearts and minds of the electorate in pushing through Congress monumental legislation that he signed into law.
    Why did the President and Congress insist on reinventing the wheel when it came to health care coverage? Weren’t there prototypes in Europe and elsewhere developed and used for more than 50 years with proven track records that could have been used as models? Did the President and Congress have to terrify people who had insurance coverage in order to provide coverage for the additional 32 million Americans covered under the new law? Couldn’t those without insurance have been attached in some way to the Medicaid rolls? Why did the President and Congress sell out to the prescription drug companies and strip Medicare of the right to negotiate volume discount purchases that could have saved U.S. taxpayers more than a trillion dollars over ten years? What rankles most for many, including me, is why have there been so few criminal prosecutions of those who are responsible for having brought the U.S. economy to its knees, destroyed the nation’s prosperity and caused millions of Americans to lose their homes, their jobs and a substantial portion of their retirement savings? Why when looking at Obama’s cabinet and advisers, do we see the faces of those who many hold responsible for the economic debacle?
    It is for these reasons, I believe, the coming November tsunami will roll across America and give the Republicans, who are undeserving of the honor, control of both Houses. The American public is enraged and wants to punish those who have been in charge of the country. They know those who will replace incumbents may be as bad or worse, but they also believe they can’t do any greater damage. They are willing to put up with them until the next election to teach our elected representatives a monumental lesson — that public service is an honorable profession and must be performed competently and honestly.
    We are an optimistic, generous people, who believe in fairness and justice. And we will be heard.”

    Licking their wounds, surrounded by sycophants among some 570 rooms of the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai,  fits hand in glove in the rule-by-spite cornerstone of the Obama Regime.

    They will lob stones at the American electorate from far away as coward despots are wont to do.

    Yet it is in the removal of the hype from reality that a clear picture of where President Barack Obama really is, shows itself. Obama is spiraling ever downward and has been for some time.  Not even tyrants escape Father Time.  All Obama really has to do to notice the passing of time is to look in the mirror at the grey threads in his own hair.

    Hype, Obama style, contends his greying hair comes from hard work.  In truth, it comes from Father Time.

    We’re at the half way mark in the Life & Times of the most anti-American president ever elected.  What has the 44th President of the USA accomplished in all that time?  Loathing, job loss, home loss and food stamps. But after the one thousand and one slaps in the face to little people everywhere delivered from abroad,  America is still standing.

    Activists Barack and Michelle may act as though they don’t care about being relieved of Dem support courtesy of midterms, but it’s all part of their `Disappear Act’. 

    Even buoyed up by sheer power as they are, they must realize that all the despots throughout history have come and have gone.

    The Washington Czar, Czarina and ‘60s Hippy Czars shepherding America toward death by socialism aren’t even close to original.  Evil men and women before them have been trying for the better part of a century to take America down.

    This time they came forward on the world stage with a big break for all observers of freedom.  That’s because this time they crawled out of the dark and into the light.  Their boldness now finds them skipping down the aisles of our mainstream churches.

    And just as the Big Apple will someday be rid of bedbugs, stink bugs and head lice, America will some day soon put the czars back where they belong: in the past.

    One little thing worth noting by the battle worn;  It was really the desperation of a century-long failure that drove the latest crop of would-be America destroyers out into the full light of day.

    Truth is that the ongoing battle of Good versus Evil has been playing out long before Obama reached the Oval Office.

    We’ve been to the brink and back in other dark chapters of human history. 
    Indeed, we’ve not only been there before, but we’ve been there before many times.

    Draining the swamp from all manner of reptiles takes only focus. And swamp draining time starts this Tuesday.

    To breathe new life into a sputtering candle, all it takes is just one breath.
    Distractions are aplenty and it’s sometimes difficult to see through the fog in all the White Noise.

    “They’re stealing the election” has become the battle-cry of the day.  Don’t let them.  The solution to Election Day success is the same as the solution that will Take Back America.  Remembering they are vastly outnumbered.

    Shut out the Talking Heads if you have to.  Tune in to the music of John Phillip Sousa or even to the wisdom and peace of your own heart, but focus!

    Between the sell out of Dem principals, the ruthlessness of the radical right, and the massive amounts of undisclosed money pouring in from corporate power to the Repub Party, I fear this is true. Here in our elite, quiet little village, we find out the reason there are ZERO signs for Dem candidates is that “someone” has been removing them as quickly as they are put up. I mentioned before that the only signs you see are for Sharon Angle — not one for Reid. Our local Dem Party president sent out an email the other day that the day after they had put up Reid signs all over the village, they were all gone. Every single one of them. 

    I have no illusion that even if Dems retain the majority that things will get better for any regular working peeps, but I have no doubt that if Repubs regain the majority, we are in for even worse times ahead. Lord help us all.

    According to Wikipedia, fantasy is a genre that uses magic and other supernatural phenomena as a primary element of plot, theme and/or setting. I bring this up because we’ve been hearing quite a bit about a “Democratic surge” lately, and this is a quintessential example of political fantasy. While there has been some tightening in several races — a result of core Democratic voters returning to the fold that is typical as an Election Day approaches — the “surge” is a complete fabrication, fed and encouraged by a mainstream media searching for an interesting plotline for this election.

    This could happen all over the country and should worry people. I live in Riverside country CA. and this scares me a lot. When the justice system breaks down the safety of all is endangered.

     I am having far, far too many issues with booting up my computer

    Hey LJ, very superior (LOL)

    Bronwyn, I don’t get California… In some ways I think Meg spending all that money, even if it was hers, turned alot of indies off. I think the polls will be left with alot of under votes and incomplete ballots.

    good luck,sincerely, with that Mac of yours…

    I had it in my mind that she was from Ireland, but now I think I am remembering another Bernadette who was in the IRA.

  • kinthenorthwest

    Have you guys been reading about the voter fraud..Why do I have a feel that is the reason some of the elections are closing up in the Dem’s favor.  That way they can explain the win by a come behind Democrat…

    This all is getting scary..Its looking like it might not matter how the majority of Americans feel in certain elections.

  • helenk

    thank you

  • sowsear

    The guy behind them wonders too

  • wodiej crackerdawg

    no one is singling out californians.  but if the majority selects Brown over Whitman and Boxer over Fiorina, I say no help from the rest of the country on the state finances. 

  • Crackerjack -Obamastahn Rebel Resistance

    It’s not fantasy. it’s how they are going to explain away the theft of the election.

    Frankly I think someone doesn’t want us to come to this site…too many of us are having computer meltdowns.

  • Sandi78

    Maybe we Californians should stop helping the rest of the country out with our tax dollars. We would like to be repayed for the Enron fraud which devasted our budget, however that won’t happen.

    Here’s yet another example of Meg being clueless-and arrogant. Remember. San Diego is more Republican than San Francisco or Los Angeles. One of the remarks below the article that really hit the mark:

    “Meg loves Texas and that crazy, secessionist governor. She loves the way California was 30 years ago. (When Jerry Brown was Governor)”

    Yes, and old Axelfraud said not to go to bed early….Nothing good happens after midnight, ya know..

  • wodiej crackerdawg

    If you have an interesting article to share, why not just post the title of the story and a link.  Posting part of the article too is taking up alot of the thread.  Just a suggestion.

    Don’t have any idea if Boxer’s lax tax reporting will have an affect somewhere as liberal as California or not.

    I just don’t get Californians. Why would they not, this year, try somebody new?

    Maybe because they tried that last time and all Arnie did was get us further in debt.

    I agree with Sandi – leave California alone. Everyone in the country has opinions about their own races and California races. We promise not to tell you what to do in your area if you return the favor.

  • EllenD

    That’s not good, Rosa. Seems very ominous.

  • wodiej crackerdawg

    States need to all go to mail in paper ballots.  Less expensive, registrations turned in no later than 3 months before elections.  That way they can all be verified.  They have to be submitted in person and a picture taken which can be downloaded w the registration.  When ballots are turned in, workers hired after full background checks can match the ballot to the registration stored online.  No match, vote doesn’t count.

  • EllenD

    Many thanks oowawa. California is a big country and can’t be categorized easily.

    Poll: Most Want Obama Fired In 2012
     
    U.S. News & World Report,
    by Paul Bedard   

    Original Article

    10/27/2010

    Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, rapped by the White House for pledging to make Barack Obama a one-term president, seems to have the support of a majority of Americans. A new poll provided to Whispers says that 56 percent of likely voters want the president fired. According to pollster Doug Schoen, whose new poll shows vast support for the Tea Party movement among voters, the president is still liked by about half the nation. In fact, more like him personally than like his policies. Some 48 percent think he’s a nice guy, while just 42 percent approve of his job performance.

    personally I think a short summary of the article is very useful.  A lot of
    people do not have the time to read the full story and just want the
    essence of the article.

    This and the last thread seem too long because something is wrong with
    BH’s pc.  Usually, by now, she would have started a new OPEN thread…

    The President needs my help. Yours, too, but I’m the one he asked. Yeah, that President. The big guy. Barack. He sent me a personal e-mail Tuesday.

    (snip) It would be flattering really, if it weren’t also somewhat embarrassing. I mean, who would have ever thought the leader of the free world would be so hard up for dough he’d be hitting on me for a lousy three bucks. That’s right, three bucks. That’s all he says he wants, not even a mention in the column. Heck, I spent more than that yesterday on the panhandler….

    Hey Bronwyn, I didn’t know you had a Mac.
    In that case it could be:
    1- internal battery
    2- Power supply (you can buy another from sites that tell you how to swap it out (unlass you have a laptop, in that case you don’t need to go inside).

    Run a diagnostic fix program like Applejack. You can also buy diagnostic programs. My hubby’s Mac was slow to sart up because it needed defragging and he wasn’t patient enough to wait for it to start before shutting it down again.
    Wish you were near me – we fix our friends’ computers.

    Maher Mocks American Electorate:
    ‘They’re Like a Dog,’ ‘Too Stupid’

    Original Article

    10/27/2010

    It’s hard to tell what the end goal of HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher’s is with his constant barrage of elitist shots at the American public. Does he think demeaning the average citizens is the best way to win people over on whatever issue he is carping about on that given day? On the Oct. 26 broadcast of TBS’s “Lopez Tonight,” Maher took a couple of cynical and contemptible jabs at the America people.

    Residents cry foul over ballots

    Bucks County Courier Times,
    by Peter Hall   

    Original Article

    10/27/2010

    A trio of Bucks County residents backed by the county Republican committee say they have evidence linking Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy’s campaign to a scheme to flood the county voter registration office with fraudulent applications for absentee ballots. In a petition filed Tuesday, county Republicans say the name of Murphy’s campaign manager appeared on a Bristol post office box where voters were urged in a series of letters paid for by the state Democratic Committee to send absentee ballot applications.

    I just got my laptop back today, not entirely fixed. He had to take it back to nothing and reinstall with the CD, but smething is sstill wrong with the built in wi fi. I need to plug it directly into the router.
    My guy can’t finish fixing it until he comes back from the cruise he goes on tomorrow.(He runs the cruises)
    While he was here today he also reinstalled Mozilla on my desktop and got back my toolbar which had disappeared.
    He’s telling me not to come here, He said he’d never seen a sicker computer than my laptop. I told him I couldn’t just turn off the computer and go take a nap…
    Well, at least I have two computers,,,as long as they don’t both go at once.

    Trixta, shame on me for having a bit of fun at CA’s expense. It’s just that it is truly unfathomable how CA can continue on it’s present course. I heard a CA caller on Hannity today complaining about Arnie who, it seems, put up a few referendums in 2005 to try and shift course but they were defeated and he apparantly gave up any further boat-rocking after that. Too bad, because CA could use a Chris Christie, I think. We’re having our own trouble here in MN trying to break the Democrat habit, too.

    Arnie is nothing like Chris Christie.
    We’re having our own trouble here in MN trying to break the Democrat habit, too.
    TOO? You are ascribing your opinions to California again.
    Look, most people outside California get their information on California through the MSM which everyone on NQ bemoan as totally wrong about the Tea Party.
    That being the case, why would you believe everything they say about California?
