I promise to write a real post later.

The Crawdad Hole 
Takeovers….not really trayvonic.
These kind of things are really annoying. Someone should have made a sign that read: “No we’re not. You are!” with an arrow pointing to her. I’ve now seen this posted on a number of prog sites as if it were a conservative person. Time to fight fire with fire.

“The disappointing results come as the White House this week looks to turn the national conversation back to the economy. Obama will deliver the first of a series of speeches Wednesday aimed at offering his vision for boosting economic growth, even as the new poll found that just 37 percent of the respondents approved of his handling of the economy, while 56 percent disapproved.”
“Overall, the poll found Obama’s job approval at 41 percent last week, a sharp drop from April’s 50 percent and his worst showing in the poll since 39 percent in September 2011. Forty-eight percent disapproved in the latest poll, up from April’s 46 percent.” http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/07/22/197361/poll-obamas-job-approval-plunges.html#.Ue3Q0D7DVoY#storylink=cpy
I think he will be in the thirties by September. I don’t think the media can pull him out of the hole any longer. Hell, after the last couple of weeks shenanigans I don’t think the media can pull the media out of a hole either.
We don’t need a “national conversation” on jobs. We need a work party. I think we’ve talked about it enough.
Every time he has “conversation” he nosedives in the polls. He had a “conversation” with himself, about himself, about race and clunked in the polls. He is already at 37 approval on the economy (which is about jobs) and if he just does more “I was unemployed once” nonsense he becomes even more ridiculous. I noticed he has changed over the last week from his planned jawboning on selling Obamacare (“I had no health insurance once” says the President) with employers telling people their hours are being cut and they should tell it to the Obamacare insurance exchange. There will be no work party unless we start one. At this point all we can hope for is a Republican congress in 2015 that starts disassembling what I now think of as Obamacrap.
Honk honk on the Republican Congress.
41%? Dayum
Can you believe he’s going to do another jobs pivot (deja vu) in the form of a series of campaign-like speeches? You know damm well they’ll all be blaming the Republicans, in preparation for the midterms, and won’t be about actually fixing, anything.
Sheesh.
Honk!
why won’t the even Repubs let him create millions of jobs? /snark
I never, ever thought I’d say this, but we need less conversation, less talking, and more leadership.
Being a lefty for so long, and a girl, it’s always been about the national conversation, raising awareness, talking, talking, talking. LOL, I’ve come full circle because I’m now like, STFU already! Who “talks” about the economy, “talks” about jobs, as if that will solve anything?
Word.
Why talk when everytime someone mentions “entitlement mentality” others jam fingers in ear, yelling “Nanananana, I can’t HEAR you”.
They want to talk about someone else’s job, not theirs – thank you very much!
Honk!
Yttik, your comment made me think of Elvis!
Doesn’t Obama realize that his supporters do NOT want to work?
I think he knows it, and that’s why he’s been able to get away with not doing anything to improve the prospects of those people who want to work.
To be fair, he doesn’t want to work either.
In Boston today the state trooper who released the arrest photos of the alleged Boston Marathon bomber is facing a hearing to decide if he gets to keep his job or not. The article in Rolling Stone was a nothing-burger. If the guy’s face hadn’t been on the cover, there wouldn’t have been anything for anyone to get their panties twisted over. (I wasn’t upset over the cover. None of the groupies who think he’s a rock star are going to make it to the jury. I’ve been voir dired several times.) I want there to be a fair trial, and I want the world to accept the verdict. I suspect the trooper does, too. Why did he have to be such an idiot?
I think the objection was a once “cool” rag about the music industry turned a terrorist into a rock star. There’s already a cult of fans built into that coveted 18-34 demo that advertisers are so willing to pay for.
Yep, that’s the crap driving our media 😦 I subscribed to RS for years until the rappers and obots took over to tell me what was “cool”. Meh.
Speaking of rock stars, these twitter paper.li MT’s make me feel like one 🙂 I keep showing up on them and don’t understand why? I’m just a one person news aggregator 😉 Scroll down to Politics, I feel like a Politico contributor…..Heh.
We’re in the company of greatness. And there’s no sarcasm there.
Haven’t been around much-did I miss the tampon earrings post??
Also, just wondering if the *Vote for Women* people who trashed Scott Brown for Lie-a-watha Warren have their checkbooks ready to donate to Liz Cheney’s senate campaign?
Good morning!
Michelle Malkin pushed back “tampon woman” with “bullet stud” earrings 🙂 AND, I still have no clue what “personal feminine hygiene” products have to do with abortion?
That’s what I thought, too. If you’re pregnant you don’t need FH products. If you’ve just had an abortion, you can’t use tampons. But you know, these progressive types just like to be grody and in your face about everything all the time. That’s their whole rhyme and reason.
Amnesty for scum like these?

Nothing to see here, folks. Keep moving.
Oh, look! Squirrel!
I saw that and it made me sad that the msm is still ignoring Obama’s Alter Universe.
Once again the klown, IMO, has shown ‘perfect pitch’ choosing graphics. The whole Obummer administration became one gigantic combover. It’s the perfect symbol for the self-deception running rampant through his entire body of experience (one coukd hardly call it “work”)
Kudos!
Are you making fun of my new ‘do?
I might just be jealous.
Honk! Honk!
Laugh of the day: Cornell West calling MSNBC the “rent a Negro” network. LOL
That IS hilarious!
There are a lot people writing about the Detroit “situation”. Most of the writing is geared toward what to do about pension and health care obligations to current and future retirees. While I think those discussions are necessary, the outcome isn’t going to be pretty no matter which way the wind blows. Everyone one of us is relying on some financial assistance in retirement based on where we worked, how long we worked, and how much we got paid. If we “bailout” municipalities, do we also bail out states? How about private sector workers whose former companies go bankrupt? What about social security and medicare? This should be the start of a “conversation” we need to have.
But I’m more interested in talking about what could be done to revive the city itself. Property has become “reasonably priced”. There are mulitple transportation routes into and out of the city. Are there still skilled workers there, or would an industry have to bring workers in from other parts of the country? What kind of tax incentives could be offered to get a few major employers to move in? What could be done to improve the schools so a continuing source of educated workers would be available? Grosse Pointe is still Grosse Pointe. The decay seems to be self-contained in the city. Would the surrounding suburbs each be willing to “annex” part of the city if they were given tax incentives to do it? I think there are some real opportunities for someone to make a lot of money here, and at the same time help the people caught in the trap. But I don’t think the creativity is there in the current leadership.
years ago the city of Baltimore sold some homes for a $1. you had to fix them up and live in them for at least 5 years before you could sell them. It gave some who needed a home a chance to have one. it restored a neighborhood. Detroit might want to look into that and maybe it would bring some small businesses back for a tax base and jobs. It did work in Baltimore
Some of those restored homes in Baltimore are spectacular . Baltimore also built a brand new stadium downtown .
A coucilman from Hamtramk or whatever wants to put up a wall to keep Detroiters out of their fair city.
Still like the dig-a-canal-around-it-and-deed-it-back-to-Canada, henceforth to be known as the “North Windsor” solution. Would also save Hamtramck the trouble.
They want to focus only on pensions for two reason.
1. The visuals are there. Real people who may, at one time, have worked hard.
2. All other subjects lead even more directly to the elephant-in-the-room, total. abject and probably criminal failure of Democratic leadership, and who in their right mind wants to admit that might have occurred?
I agree there are deeper issues as to the management or lack thereof regarding the pensions. I could be wrong, but somehow I have a feeling if you start peeling back the layers you will find some kick backs.
I don’t know my husband’s source, but he was talking about Detroit and he said the average pension is $1,900 per month. He said those getting a public pension in Detroit are not eligible for social security just like federal workers under old defined benefit CSRS. The FERS system put in place for federal workers starting in 1984 forward is a social security/thrift savings based plan. However, those under the defined benefit are not eligible for social security unless they have 30 years of work outside of their public employee career.
If it is true that those retirees are not eligible for social security then I feel very, very sorry for them because they have nothing. I have no idea through the years what percentage of their income they paid into their retirement plan. I fear that may be part of the problem, politicians basically buying votes by telling people they don’t have to pay anything in or very little. I’ve been shocked by how little some of these states and local governments require employees to pay into their systems. Then they act surprised when the benefits can’t keep up…….really? I bet Detroit is the perfect storm combination of both employees paying too little in (expecting something for nothing) AND corruption in the management of the pension fund.
As for private pensions of companies that go bankrupt the federal government already absorbs those obligations. It’s called the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. When large companies go bankrupt the PBGC manages the employees pensions. I don’t know exactly how it works, but I do know in the case of Eastern Airlines the retirees get a fraction of what their pensions were supposed to be. What percentage the retirees get may depend on company assets??? It may vary??? I honestly don’t know, except I do know a retired Eastern Airline pilot that ended up going back to work as a pilot and working until he could no longer be a pilot by federal law.
A lot of Polaroid employees found themselves in the same place.

how the msm censorship put backtrack back in the white house
http://freebeacon.com/obama-gives-senate-one-day-to-vet-nlrb-nominees/
once again backtrack ignores laws and gives senate only one day to vet nominees for NLRB.
I know this is a silly question, but don’t the democrats in congress feel like hey wait a minute we are a separate but equal branch of government? does he have pictures and negatives to hold over their heads to make them kneel down and say “yes master”
That’s actually pretty easy to do. Vetting means “clearing”. If you only have one day, you probably can’t “clear” the person. Vote “Nay”. Case closed.
Or else obey your master.

Shite like that is already being done. Has been for awhile. Small business loans available for new immigrants in areas lacking diversity. Problem is that if there were a need for what is being offered it would be filled. Instead the same type of business as what has just closed comes in lasts a few months and then shuts down. Last ice cream shop didn’t work so lets try it again. Then ya hear how the raycist neighborhood refused to patronize never mind that an almost identical business owned by a cracker went under two years ago.
in moderation for guessing what the POTUS sent Baby Windsor?????
