An okapi: Tracks were seen by researchers five years ago for the first time since 1959
Conservationists are overestimating the number of species that have been driven to extinction, scientists have said.
A study has found that a third of all mammal species declared extinct in the past few centuries have turned up alive and well.
"This is the Mother of all power-grabs on a global level and will surely be detrimental to U.S. sovereignty. And the news media are totally ignoring what should be the biggest news story of the year," said Baker.
Baker believes one of the most diabolical organizations in controlling the world's resources, including water, is the much-touted Clinton Global Initiative, the brainchild of former President Bill Clinton, an unabashed Internationalist.
Then there’s Obama’s science “czar,” John Holrdren, who was also an attendee at Clinton's recent conference. Shortly after his confirmation as director of White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, it was revealed that Holdren was once a proponent of compulsory abortions and a “Planetary Regime”. And in 1977, he co-authored a book that proposed the use of totalitarian regimes to curb population growth and protect the environment including the planet's water supply.
US lawmakers asking that 60 top Russian officials be denied visas to the US and their assets frozen

Two U.S. Democrat lawmakers have presented legislation to Congress asking that 60 top Russian officials be denied visas to the U.S. and have their assets frozen following the death of a prominent Moscow based lawyer, who had been hired to investigate corruption at the highest levels in the Russian government.
Hermitage Capital Investment, once Russia's largest investment fund with assets topping 4.5 billion dollars Russian, hired the Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, 37, and six others to investigate Russian corruption and the loss of 230 million dollars.
"The cops were in on the scam," says William Browder, the founder of Hermitage Investment Fund. "They turned on every resource they had to come after the seven lawyers that we had hired and cooked up trumped up criminal cases against all seven of them."
Shortly after testifying against the Russian police and members of the country's tax authority and Interior Ministry, Magnitsky was arrested and placed in one of Russia's toughest prisons. The other six lawyers fled Russia for Europe.
"Sergei not only didn't go, but he was such a patriot that he went and testified against the police officers who stole the money," Browder, who has lobbied Congress to sanction members of Russia's interior ministry who allowed Magnitsky to be arrested and later die in prison. Magnitsky was arrested in November 2008, shortly after testifying against the police. The same police officers he testified against came to his house at eight o'clock in the morning as his wife was preparing their children for school and took him to prison.
The new legislation targets members of Russia's Interior Ministry. It is sponsored by Massachusetts Congressman Jim McGovern and Maryland Senator Ben Cardin.
"The authorities arrested the whistleblower, threw him into prison where he died," Senator Cardin told Fox News. "This is a horrible human rights violation and the authorities have done virtually nothing about it."…
Investigative body interviewed only one side – CRU
Muir Russell report says scientists did not fudge data, but they should have been more open about their work

The Muir Russell Report is out. Read here in PDF. Unfortunately Russell is another apologist who doesn’t ask relevant questions of both sides, only one side. Even BBC now thinks the CRU wears a halo:
Compare that to:
CRU’s Dr. Phil Jones’s response of 21/02/2005 to Warwick Hughes’s request for Jones’s raw climate data:
“Even if WMO agrees, I will still not pass on the data. We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it.“
Here’s some comments around the web, link to the report follows:
I guess the main question coming out of the Muir Russell report is when is he going to be appointed to the House of Lords and his choice of appelation. Lord Muir of Holyrood?
They adopted a unique inquiry process in which they interviewed only one side – CRU. As a result, the report is heavily weighted towards CRU apologia
I write this follow up in response to reader mail regarding my column DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office. Even many conservative columnists and pundits seem confused on the issue of natural born citizen, even though the matter is really quite clear.
History answers the question of what “natural born citizen” means, and leaves NO wiggle room for debate or wishful agenda-driven interpretations.
The term was first used by the British Royal family. The question at the time was how to keep the Royal bloodline intact when members of the Royal family traveled abroad extensively, often giving birth to offspring while abroad, therefore bringing the issue of “native born” into question.
What they don’t know is how long it will take for most Americans to figure it out, or what to do about it.
The diversionary search for an authentic birth certificate is ongoing and Obama has now spent in excess of $2 million in legal fees to keep that search alive.
@degoesred Mike D. Ross
RT @erinhaust Megan McCain is such a moron... Says the MSM got Obama elected, yet she goes on "The View" every other day to kiss their MSM @$$e$
There is no exception for Obama!
American citizens had better wake up and take action fast, as there is little time left to right their ship!
No… they were not. Not even one of the Founding Fathers was a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America, even though some of them had indeed been (native) born on what would become U.S. soil.
None of them were “natural born citizens” because all of the Founding Fathers were born prior to the existence of the United States of America. No one could be the “natural born citizen” of a nation that did not yet exist.
America declared its independent status as a sovereign nation on July 4, 1776, breaking away from England and British rule. But the United States of America was not formed until September of 1787, with the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. The Founders had no choice but to exempt themselves from Article II—Section I—Clause V of the Constitution they wrote and ratified. But there would be no other exemptions or exceptions from that moment forward.
So, how could any of them become President of the United States?…Read on:

Gallup is the oldest major polling organization in America. It has a strong interest in credibility with the public, because if its polls are wrong then its value drops to nothing. Gallup Polls, by and large, are fairly accurate reflections of what is actually polled. So when Gallup asks Americans in different states about their ideology, the reported data seems reasonable. The problem, however, is that unless one looks at the data and not at how Gallup entitles its polls, big stories are lost. 
As one example, Gallup in the last year or so has finally begun asking Americans about their ideological persuasion and reporting the results of those polls. A close examination of Gallup's reported data shows an absolutely stunning fact. In the August 14, 2009 poll, conservatives outnumbered liberals in virtually all of the fifty states, even in hotbeds of radicalism like Massachusetts and Vermont. What was the title of that poll? "Conservative Label Prevails in South." On February 3, 2010, Gallup repeated the poll. The results were the same (every state was more conservative than liberal), but what was the title of that poll? "Three Deep South States Are Most Conservative" (not something like "Conservatives Still Outnumber Liberals in Every State." On August 2, 2010, Gallup tested the waters again. This time, there were more liberals than conservatives in one state, Rhode Island, leading Gallup to give this poll the reasonable title "Wyoming, Mississippi, Utah Rank as Most Conservative States."
Despite reports from local Massachusetts media, Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, remains confident he will win his re-election in November against his Republican opponent Sean Bielat. Former President Bill Clinton appeared with Mr. Frank recently at a political rally in Taunton last week, and Mr. Bielat claimed, according to reports, that Mr. Clinton was brought in to help buoy Mr. Frank.
"The notion that it’s a sign of panic is just silly. That’s just politics when they don’t have anything else better to say. It’s a tougher race, because once I became chairman of the [banking] committee, the right-wing media talk show hosts decided to target me," said Rep. Frank. "They were frankly worried about what we would do, and I also have people who were angry about the financial reform bill."...
The Federal Government's U.S. Census is currently (Aug. 16) leasing a 6,600 square-foot corner of an old, back-road building in Virginia. Land records that Channel Two obtained confirmed that this location is owned by the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center and rented by the Census Bureau, reports WSBTV
"Imam Johari Abdul-Malik showed McFarlane around the worship area and even acknowledged that Dal Al-Hijrah is not a typical Islamic center. It has been a hotbed of controversy. Its worshipers have included two of the Sept. 11th hijackers and Nadal Hassan, the man believed responsible for the massacre at Fort Hood. Most alarming to critics is its former Imam, Anwar Al-Awlaki.
Al-Awlaki is now considered a leading terrorist recruiter and is believed to have plotted with the would-be underwear-bomber and the Times Square bomber. Now he is a wanted man by U.S authorities and is on the loose in Yemen, U.S officials believe.
"If you have one branch of government saying this is a terrorist organization and another branch giving them a half-million dollars a year, there is a disconnect here," said Landman.
The mosque said it collects $500,000 a year in rent from the Census Bureau. They accuse bloggers and watchdogs of race baiting and state that they long ago disowned Awlaki..."(Continue Reading)
Democrats sweet sounding name can’t hide the stink of this bill!
Immediately upon reading this people are taken in by the thought of abolishing the dreaded Income Tax Law. However, before you go swooning over this proposal and lend your support for this bill you should keep something in mind. Why would the federal government, which runs solely off of the income it collects from its citizens, kill the one thing that allows it to operate? It wouldn't and that is where the "Trojan Horse" aspect of this tax comes into play. Just look at what this tax would entail:
Amends the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 1% fee, offset by a corresponding nonrefundable income tax credit, on transactions that use a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds, or other financial instrument. Defines "transaction" to include retail and wholesale sales, purchases of intermediate goods, and financial and intangible transactions.
Ask yourself this question: How many "transactions" that would fall under this particular definition are you involved with every day? 10, 20, 30? Once you realize what this will mean you start to get the picture of what this is.

McDonald's Corp. has notified federal regulators it's health insurance plan for nearly 30,000 hourly restaurant workers isn't compatible with a new requirement of the U.S. health overhaul, the Wall Street Journal reported, raising speculation about the fate of those employees' health coverage.
Trade groups representing restaurants and retailers say low-wage employers might halt their coverage if the government doesn't loosen a requirement for "mini-med" plans, which offer limited benefits to some 1.4 million Americans. The requirement concerns the percentage of premiums that must be spent on benefits.
Last week, the Seattle Weekly announced that Molly Norris, its editorial cartoonist, had "gone ghost." Put another way, she went into hiding. The FBI told her she had to because otherwise it couldn't protect her against death threats from Muslims she'd angered. Earlier this year, Norris started "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" to protest radical Muslims' violently stifling freedom of speech and conscience. Incredibly, her plight has drawn precious little media attention, even though it is infinitely more newsworthy than, say, a fundamentalist preacher in Florida threatening to burn Qurans.
When The Examiner asked the American Society of News Editors for a statement on the issue, none was forthcoming. This despite the fact that the first sentence of ASNE's Web site describes its mission as supporting "the First Amendment at home and free speech around the world." We got a similar response from the Society of Professional Journalists, despite its dedication "to the perpetuation of the free press as the cornerstone of our nation and liberty."
Freedom of speech and press are in deep trouble when the American government thinks the best it can do to protect a journalist from death threats is to counsel her to go into hiding…

A citizen journalist interviewed sign-holding protesters at a Barbara Boxer rally outside of KPCC radio station where Boxer was debating Carly Fiorina.
(NaturalNews) A stunning new report reveals that top scientists who convinced the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare H1N1 a global pandemic held close financial ties to the drug companies that profited from the sale of those vaccines. This report, published in the British Medical Journal, exposes the hidden ties that drove WHO to declare a pandemic, resulting in billions of dollars in profits for vaccine manufacturers.
Several key advisors who urged WHO to declare a pandemic received direct financial compensation from the very same vaccine manufacturers who received a windfall of profits from the pandemic announcement. During all this, WHO refused to disclose any conflicts of interests between its top advisors and the drug companies who would financially benefit from its decisions.
All the kickbacks, in other words, were swept under the table and kept silent, and WHO somehow didn't think it was important to let the world know that it was receiving policy advice from individuals who stood to make millions of dollars when a pandemic was declared.
The charade is over.
We all knew that my opponent couldn’t hide behind the failed policies of Obama, Pelosi and Reid forever. Even the liberal media led by Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann can't cover up the truth.
Consider this: In 2009, while my opponent was a County Executive, he proposed a 25% property tax increase. Believe it or not, during a time of economic crisis, his plan was to raise taxes on homes and businesses by 25%! It wasn't to cut government, that's for sure.
Will you donate today to help expose his record?
But he was only getting started. During his tenure as County Executive, my opponent proposed raising property taxes a total of 47%! I can’t even imagine what he’ll do when times are good.
We already knew that my opponent will be a lap dog for Harry Reid. In fact, Harry Reid called my opponent “his pet”. But it appears he doesn't need Reid's influence to support more big government.
Instead of another Obama lap dog, we need real political leaders in Washington that will fight against the Obama, Pelosi and Reid agenda. Help me lead the charge against liberals in Washington by donating $100, $75, $50 or $35!
It’s obvious that Barack Obama and his cronies think they can just bully my opponent around to do what they say – and by his tax record, he’ll go along with it!
You know who the Democrats won’t push around?
Us.
The financial deadline is on September 30th and we must show the Democrats that we won’t be pushed around. The election is just around the corner and we must finish this campaign strong!
Sincerely,
CHRISTINE

The United States is waging a not-so-secret war on terrorists in Pakistan, something denied by Islamabad and ignored by President Obama's usually vociferous anti-war base.
Is this the same Ted Turner that married ‘Hanoi Jane’?
Drew Angerer/The New York Times Representative John A. Boehner, the House Republican leader from Ohio, spoke of the need to extend the Bush tax cuts during a news conference with other House Republicans on Wednesday.
House Republicans seized on fresh signs of division among Democrats over what to do about expiring Bush-era tax cuts, and called with renewed fervor on Wednesday for a quick up-or-down vote.
“I believe there is a bipartisan majority in both the House and Senate who want to extend all of the current tax rates,” Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the House minority leader, said in a news conference on Capitol Hill. “The reason they aren’t bringing this up is because we have the votes.”

He is the inspiration behind the Ft. Hood terrorist attacks. He was behind the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt. And he is at the center of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which is now reportedly working closer than ever with affiliates in Pakistan and Somalia to attack our homeland.
This record certainly qualifies Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki among America’s most wanted. Indeed, according to reports, even former constitutional law professor President Barack Obama has authorized Predator drone strikes against Awlaki. The extremist ACLU has made him a cause celebre.
On Monday, the ACLU filed a formal lawsuit seeking to halt what it says is an "illegal" U.S. government assassination order against this wanted terrorist, claiming "there is not an imminent threat and lethal force is not necessary."
I wonder how many intelligence professionals agree that Awlaki is no imminent threat? None I know. On the contrary, the emergence of U.S. citizens as al-Qaeda operatives alarms them, greatly.
Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood t here, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s:
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber f or $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20.. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. )
6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's Property, he won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says its OK anyway cuz its redistributing the wealth.

"I wouldn't be bothered one bit if some of the rules of voting were reapplied as they used to be. One good point, is the need to be educated in civics, and another is that you had to be a land owner. The latter can be thought of in this way, as it was explained by a person from Texas. 47% of the people in Texas own land, or "property". 53% don't, but those 53% have the biggest sway in how the tax dollars are spent so that the property owners who are taxed on their property don't have any sway as to how those dollars are spent due to popular support, which leaves them at a disadvantage to a tyranny of the majority which the Founders feared with a system that was like the Greek Democracies.
Also, if you are a public servant, while you are in office, you are inelligible to vote for partisan political reasons, and the same for your family members too.
The 17th Amendment should be done away with, as it stripped the states of their representation in Congress, and with Senators no longer appointed by the state legislations, and directly voted on by the people, it is easier to brib them through campaign contributions as opposed to appointments by the state governments, where they will tend to have the best interests of the state in mind to temper the House's decisions. But like anything that involves man, it is far from perfect, and nothing ever is an "airtight" system. But it would supply us with a long needed check that has been missing for almost 100 years now."

Two of the targets of last Friday’s raid against “anti-war” revolutionaries were early prominent leaders of Barack Obama’s New Party in Illinois.
From the Illinois New Party website on May 5th 1998:
Building the People’s Machine in the 35th Ward
The thirteenth precinct did superbly. We won it big in ‘96, and did so again this time – by about 25 votes. And then the 15th came in. Joe Iosbaker, our precinct captain there, was almost in tears. He had been working election day at this same precinct for progressive candidates for about a decade – since Harold Washington won re-election in 1987. But in all that time, he had never seen results like this. Elba Rodriguez: 47, Willie Delgado: 92! Other precinct workers were patting Joe on the back and shaking his hand. “It was a team effort,” he kept repeating, acknowledging the great work done by the 15th precinct crew of Yakira Nunez, Mary Robles, Sergio Vargas, Peter Shearn, and Stephanie Weiner – Joe’s wife, who has also been working that precinct for about 10 years.
…..
When all was said and done, Willie Delgado defeated Elba Rodriguez by a slim 241 vote margin, 52% to 48%, with an average margin of victory of exactly 4 votes per precinct. The margin of victory was 20 votes per precinct in the New Party’s turf. NP leaders Frankie Torres, Deborah McCoy, Jose Kader, Bob Palmer, Rafael Rodriguez, Joe Iosbaker, Stephanie Weiner, Yakira Nunez, Vinnie Izurieta, Pryianka Basu, Dave Rolston, and Mary Robles built a political machine in their own backyard – a political machine for the people.
The New Party of Illinois was President Obama’s first political party.
Gateway Pundit also has information on their connections to SEIU and the Arab American Action Network.
Where is the Republican party on this story??? Shouldn’t they be shouting from the rooftops about exactly who these people are and what they are accused of doing? It’s just a global Marxist-Islamist revolutionary alliance for Christ’s sake!

If I had engaged in activities that involved fleecing the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom of billions in public funds in the name of “climate research”, and it was found that I had manipulated the data to advance the “global warming” hoax, wouldn’t I be facing charges of fraud?
Or if the universities for which I worked had benefited from receiving those public funds had conducted hearings that exonerated me, wouldn’t those institutions be considered accessories to the alleged crime?
This is the case today for the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in England and Pennsylvania State University in America. If the CRU is above suspicion, why did the U.S. Department of Energy suspend funds for it in July citing scientific doubts raised by the Climategate revelations last November?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For the fourth straight year, the majority of Americans say they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. The 57% now saying this is a record high…
Lying, big-spending Republicans lost control of Congress and the White House in 2006 and 2008 to the nutty, big-spending Democrats, who took the deficit-spending ball and ran with it, and now we have trillion-dollar plus deficits projected out for the next 10 years (which, in Washington parlance, is “as far as the eye can see”).
(Anyone with a mortgage can see further than 10 years, but not Washington.)
The nutty, big-spending Democrats point their bony, money-grubbing fingers at the lying, big-spending Republicans, and the best arguments they can come up with to defend their grandchild-crippling profligacy are (1) the Republicans are just as bad as we are, so naa, naa, naa, and (2), we had to spend $800 billion on stimulus to keep unemployment under 8 percent. (Oops.)
Voters are left to decide which is the less evil of the two evil, lesser parties. (I say the lying Republicans, because at least they see a problem in spending our kids into oblivion, and have gone to the trouble of lying about what they would do about it. Many nutty, don’t-worry, be-happy Democrats still believe the real problem is that we’re just not spending enough.)
But, despite all this, what does the mainstream media believe the real problem is?
Those crazy Tea Party people, that’s what, and their crazy notions about spending less, maybe even spending less than we have to spend. (Ha, ha, ha. Can you imagine such a thing? I mean, they’re so DUMB!)
Crazy, huh? Hair-on-fire nuts. What are they smokin’, Dude? And you want these Tea Party people IN CONTROL? Spending less? Surely you jest.
The Department of Defense (DoD) announced today Absentee Voting Week from Sept. 27 to Oct. 4. The week will encourage all citizens voting under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act who have not received their absentee ballot to go to http://www.FVAP.gov/ to fill it out as soon as possible.
Commanders and voting assistance officers will use this week to emphasize the importance of filling out and returning the absentee ballot. They will also educate eligible personnel on how to use the new online tools to fill out their absentee ballot, plus encourage the use of emailing and faxing as an alternative to sending the voted ballot to local election officials where allowed.
“We encourage all military personnel, their family members, and overseas citizens to exercise their right to vote,” said Clifford Stanley, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. “We strongly recommend they complete and mail their absentee ballots immediately, so they are received by local election officials in time to be counted for the November general election. Make your vote count.”
The Federal Assistance Voting Program is responsible for making the absentee voting process easier and more efficient. One of their new initiatives is to provide military members, their families and overseas voters electronic alternatives to requesting, receiving or returning their ballots. If someone has not received their state absentee ballot, it is not too late.
“This year, the states and FVAP launched new online products that make completing absentees ballots much easier. In many cases voters can request their ballot, fill it out and mail or fax it back in 10 to 15 minutes,” said Stanley. “When I was a junior officer, this process could take 30 to 40 days. The new online tools have remarkably reduced the wait time. Go to FVAP.gov to fill out your state ballot or the federal write-in absentee ballot online and send it, today.”

Not that I believe there is such a thing as ‘separation of Church and state, I don’t. It’s just that that’s what the liberal media’s mantra is when a conservative politician has any connection with religion! Where is their howling here?
Wall Street Journal:
If the White House office of faith-based initiatives is going to be used as propaganda unit, it might as well be shut down.
I was George W. Bush’s director of faith-based initiatives. Imagine what would have happened had I proposed that he use that office to urge thousands of religious leaders to become “validators” of the Iraq War?
I can tell you two things that would have happened immediately. First, President Bush would have fired me—and rightly so—for trying to politicize his faith-based office. Second, the American media would have chased me into the foxhole Saddam Hussein had vacated.
Yet on Tuesday President Obama and his director of faith-based initiatives convened exactly such a meeting to try to control political damage from the unpopular health-care law. “Get out there and spread the word,” Politico.com reported the president as saying on a conference call with leaders of faith-based and community groups. “I think all of you can be really important validators and trusted resources for friends and neighbors, to help explain what’s now available to them.”
Since then, there’s been nary a peep from the press.
. "The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs..." I am not making this up. "The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs was initially created as a small expert unit within the Secretariat to service the ad hoc Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space established by the General Assembly in its resolution 1348 (XIII) of 13 December 1958. It became a unit within the Department of Political and Security Council Affairs in 1962..." Today -- I'm not joking -- the United Nations has stepped this up. They appointed somebody, a woman, to be the leader when aliens land here in say, "Take me to your leader." The UN has appointed a woman to be that person. I kid you not. "If aliens ever land on Earth..." this is from the UK Daily Mail.
"Ms Othman, currently the head of the UN's Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa), recently told fellow scientists that mankind needed to be ready to deal with alien contact. 'The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that someday human kind will receive signals from extraterrestrials,' she said. 'When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. 'The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination,'" and get this: "Professor Richard Crowther, head of the UK delegation to the UN committee, admitted recently: '[Ms.] Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a "take me to your leader" person.'"
What do you think Obama is going to think when he reads that? Obama wants to be the guy. I mean, he's got the ears. He looks like it. You know, he and Carville, I think, would be a perfect team. Carville looks like he was born on a UFO. You could put Carville and Obama out there. They could be the official greeters. "Take me to your leader." Take them down to New Orleans and have some gumbo. Dumbo and gumbo! Have Obama get on and here we are. I'm not making this up. This actually has happened. They got a woman. She's sitting in an office waiting for a spaceship to land, a flying saucer, what have you, working on whatever she's going to say to them. I don't know. Every time a UFO has landed, they never land at MIT, they never land at Harvard, they never land at the UN. They always land, you know, in a trailer park. They're going to have to think about where to put this woman's office.

WASHINGTON – Glenn Beck may pooh-pooh the issue of Barack Obama's presidential eligibility, but some of his most loyal fans are emphatic in demanding, "Where's the Birth Certificate?"
On Beck's own website, a thread started today shows those concerned about Obama's unwillingness to document that he is a "natural-born" citizen, as the Constitution requires, running 9-to-1 over those who believe it's a non-issue.
At 2:11 p.m., a reader posted a comment on his website, The Blaze, about Democratic House Majority Whip James Clyburn's warning that if the GOP takes control of Congress in January, it will issue subpoenas regarding Obama's eligibility.
The original post included a video clip of Beck and guest Dinesh D'Souza dismissing the eligibility issue.
But within hours, more than 100 comments had been posted, and according to WND's tally, 45 of those comments questioned Obama's eligibility, and only five supported Beck's position.
The remaining posts commented on Clyburn or other issues
See WND's Obama Eligibility Primer for a detailed discussion of this issue.

He has lost credibility with mainstream Americans, and his record is an unmitigated disaster. He has no persuasive excuses for his policy failures, as the blaming Bush strategy lost its luster months ago. Not that he isn't going to continue trying to persuade adults to ignore their lying eyes, but for now, at least, he's out to recapture the magic with those voters he excited into participatory politics.
But how will he sell them this time? Plouffe says Obama intends to remind students of all the hard work they put into his 2008 campaign and warn them that if they don't stay engaged, all their hard work together could be jeopardized.
But hard work to what end? Has he ever bothered defining what he is trying to accomplish, beyond the platitudinous "hope and change"? Hope and change from what, to what?
CNN reports on a Rolling Stone article about destructive news outlet? Is this a joke?
By:
CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) - President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."
In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.
"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.

President Bill Clinton’s Senior Military Aide Robert “Buzz” Patterson tells Newsmax that a fundraiser and “close acquaintance” of Barack Obama should be prosecuted for treason for aiding America’s enemies.
Patterson, a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and best-selling author, also says morale among American forces in Afghanistan is poor and the troops have “absolutely no faith” in their commander-in-chief Obama’s intention of winning the war.
Patterson’s latest book is “Conduct Unbecoming: How Barack Obama Is Destroying the Military and Endangering Our Security.” In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, he was asked why he believes Obama is damaging the military
What happens when Big Brother thinks you are using to much electricity!
But some Westerville residents said the government is moving too fast. They said the meters are an invasion of privacy. They worried that their utilities information could be stolen by hackers, and they asked about reports that the meters catch fire.
"There are benefits to smart meters, just very few," resident Joanne Grose said. "The problems seriously outweigh the benefits."
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 ..45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?! I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.). ;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you .... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.
I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours, Alex

WASHINGTON -- People interviewed by federal agents report the FBI and the Labor Department are investigating prominent labor leader Andy Stern as part of a corruption probe involving the Service Employees International Union.
Two organized labor officials met with federal agents this summer to answer questions about Stern's role in approving money to pay the salary of an SEIU leader in California who performed no work and a book contract that Stern landed in 2006.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.
The FBI and the Labor Department's office of inspector general declined to comment for the record.
Stern abruptly resigned as president of the 2.2-million member SEIU in April.
When dignitaries visit the US for public events, the administration will display their flag on the dais to honor their presence. While this doesn’t usually require a lot of effort, it does mean that someone has to know whether the flag is upside down or rightside up. Oops:
The U.S. government said Sunday it made an “honest mistake” when it displayed an inverted Philippine flag — which wrongfully signified that the Southeast Asian nation was in a state of war — in a meeting hosted by President Barack Obama.
The Philippine flag was displayed upside down behind President Benigno Aquino III when leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met Obama in New York on Friday.
“This was an honest mistake,” U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Rebecca Thompson said in a statement, adding, “the U.S. treasures its close relationship and close partnership with the Philippines.”
The American embassy will find out how the “unfortunate” incident happened, she said.
How hard could this research be? A quick check on Google — or heck, on the CIA World Factbook on the Internet — would have been enough to get it right. Note that the card in front of President Aquino has the flag displayed properly. At least someone in the administration paid attention to the detail.
On the plus side, though, Barack Obama apparently quit bowing.
Huge sign flying into Lubbock, TX.
Doesn't this make you proud to know that the great state of Texas , is part of the USA ?! 
More than 37,000 regulatory reviews were issued by federal agencies from 1981 to January 2005, according to reginfo.gov. Environmental agencies started 6,354 of them. Only agriculture sparked more regulatory activity.
It’s gotten even worse since then. Regulatory expert Angela Logomasini of the Competitive Enterprise Institute estimates that environmental regulations now make up 30 percent of all economically significant regulations submitted for review — more than any other issue.
Federal regulatory spending on environmental issues has increased an incredible 7,372 percent between 1960 and 2006.
This explosion of regulation of everything remotely connected to the use of land, air and water adds to American taxpayers’ daily burdens, increases the cost of doing business, and destroys millions of jobs, sometimes even whole industries.
Often, the regulation is to aid creatures like the Tennessee snail darter fish. The consequences for human beings can range from minor inconveniences to economic catastrophe.
The regulation has also given the Big Green radical environmental movement and its allies in the federal bureaucracy unprecedented new political power and resources. The raw numbers tell the tale.
But will perp’s be brought to justice under Obama administration DOJ
Most of the findings focused on a group called Houston Votes, a voter registration group headed by Sean Caddle, who also worked for the Service Employees International Union before coming to Houston. Among the findings were that only 1,793 of the 25,000 registrations the group submitted appeared to be valid.
The other registrations included one of a woman who registered six times in the same day; registrations of non-citizens; so many applications from one Houston Voters collector in one day that it was deemed to be beyond human capability; and 1,597 registrations that named the same person multiple times, often with different signatures.

I should not be, but I am continually amazed at the audacity of Palestinian leaders as they attempt to manipulate world opinion into giving them a state of their own and pay it’s bills as they pretend to be worthy of such influence. After expecting Israel to enter negotiations with no preconditions, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had the gall to say that there will be no peace unless the Israelis stop building settlements on the land the Palestinian Authority (PA) has it’s eyes on.
This man cannot even get his own allies, in the form of Hamas, who controls Gaza just to the south of Israel, to come to an agreement to recognize Israel. He even has tenuous control over his own Fatah party. His leadership has not produced any kind of prosperity for his people, although he has not too badly for himself. All he can do is rattle such swords as he has and issue threats and complaints to get so-called world leaders to give him control over something that was created through the industrious nature of the Jewish people.
In an attempt to censor a book about the war on terrorism, the government has handed terrorists a road map to information they should never see. The case also raises political questions regarding intelligence community efforts to keep critical information regarding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks from the American people.
The government mounted its second intervention so late in the process that galley copies of the original work already had gone out to potential reviewers, and the New York Times obtained a copy and ran a side-by-side comparison of an original and redacted page. The redactions thus tell insurgents exactly what the DIA and NSA think should be kept out of their hands. Buying up and pulping all the existing unredacted copies of the book give an air of desperation; it also brought far more attention to the book than it would have gained otherwise. The attempted coverup was a sloppy, ill-conceived, poorly timed response. This matter required quiet professionalism but instead became a public embarrassment.

Far Left NAACP Leader Ben Jealous is now comparing today’s America to Nazi Germany before Kristallnacht…
Because if you oppose the Obama-Pelosi socialist agenda– you’re a Nazi.
(He must have forgotten that the Nazi’s were a socialist party.)
Oh, and of course, he’s giving this hate-filled far left speech at the pulpit of a church.
