By visiting our war dead, Obama passes Dover test
Mark Shields writes a moving column about how President Obama passes the Dover Test that the shrub failed:
President Obama, during his winning campaign, promised to make Washington more "transparent" and more "accountable." At 4 a.m. on Oct. 29, as he stood silently by as six soldiers carried the remains of Army Sgt. Dale R. Griffin of Terre Haute, Ind., back to American soil and to those who mourned him, President Obama made both himself, and the national government he leads, more responsible and made the reality of war more transparent.
At Dover, he personally met with and consoled — in their time of profound sorrow — the families of 18 fallen Americans. No form letter or phone call. Just human being to human being.
As John Glenn said: "It's easy to see the flags flying and the people go off to war, and the bands play and the flags fly. And it's not quite so easy when the flag is draped over a coffin coming back through Dover, Delaware." Barack Obama, by choosing the "not quite so easy" path, has earned his nation's thanks.

Okay, first, this video isn't a joke. It isn't a parody. You'll just think it is. It's a wingnut rapper. Yes, wingnut rapper. He's bad. And, I mean bad in the traditional sense, not the hip, cool sense. And, of course, he throws in the requisite gay-bashing. It's just bad:

She's Perfect! LOL
U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan will leave her job on Nov. 16.The announcement was made late Thursday afternoon in a news release from Buchanan's office.
The move had been expected for some time after President Barack Obama's election.
Buchanan was appointed the shrub in September 2001 and has served as western Pennsylvania's top federal prosecutor for the past eight years.
During that time, she was known for high-profile cases including the prosecution of comedian Tommy Chong for drug paraphernalia and a company that made so-called "horror porn" movies. [Rob Black.]
Buchanan's tenure has been full of controversy. She was behind the lengthy but failed prosecution of Dr. Cyril Wecht, the former medical examiner for Allegheny County.
Mayo spoke with Wecht who said he feels public corruption cases like the one brought against him were politically motivated. Wecht said he's still hurting financially from the attempts to convict him.
"This is a track record of an abominable, professionally despicable nature, one that she should be ashamed of," said Wecht. "Ask yourself, 'Aren't there 92 other U.S. attorneys in America?' Nobody else was excited about Tommy Chong? Only Mary Beth Buchanan?"
Former assistant U.S. attorney Steve Stallings prosecuted Wecht under Buchanan.
Allegheny County repugican chairman Jim Roddey said he views Buchanan as a solid political candidate.
"I know she's given it consideration. We've talked to her several times in the past about whether or not she'd be interested in running for either attorney general, whether or not she'd like to run for county executive, whether or not she'd like to run for congress," said Roddey.
Wecht had a different view of Buchanan's future.
"I predict she will not run against Congressman Jason Altmire. She would get clobbered. I think she just wanted her name out there," said Wecht.
Teabaggers have forced moderate candidate to quit race in NY-23
The teabaggers now own the repugican party. The moderate candidate for Congress in New York's 23rd CD, Dede Scozzafava, has suspended her campaign. Scozzofava was under assault from the hard-core wingnuts because she was pro-choice and supported LGBT equality. The local paper has the story and an excerpt from Scozzofava's letter to her supporters announcing the decision.
The hard-core right wingnuts rallied around the wingnut candidate, Doug Hoffman. A poll released today showed Scozzofava had dropped to a distant third place:
The hard-core right wingnuts rallied around the wingnut candidate, Doug Hoffman. A poll released today showed Scozzofava had dropped to a distant third place:
Today's hotly anticipated Siena poll confirms the race for the seat vacated by former Rep. John McHugh in NY-23 has become a too-close-to-call fight between Democratic nominee Bill Owens and wingnut Doug Hoffman, who are tied at 36-35.There is no room for different ideas in the modern day repugican party. The teabaggers rule their world.
The repugicans' pick, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, who started out as the frontrunner, is now at 20 percent. Nine percent of voters remain undecided.

Remarks of President Barack Obama
As Prepared for Delivery
Weekly Address
Saturday, October 31, 2009
Each week, I’ve spoken with you about the challenges we face as a nation and the path we must take to meet them. And the truth is, over the past ten months, I’ve often had to report distressing news during what has been a difficult time for our country. But today, I am pleased to offer some better news that – while not cause for celebration – is certainly reason to believe that we are moving in the right direction.
On Thursday, we received a report on our Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. This is an important measure of our economy as a whole, one that tells us how much we are producing and how much businesses and families are earning. We learned that the economy grew for the first time in more than a year and faster than at any point in the previous two years. So while we have a long way to go before we return to prosperity, and there will undoubtedly be ups and downs along the road, it’s also true that we’ve come a long way. It is easy to forget that it was only several months ago that the economy was shrinking rapidly and many economists feared another Great Depression.
Now, economic growth is no substitute for job growth. And we will likely see further job losses in the coming days, a fact that is both troubling for our economy and heartbreaking for the men and women who suddenly find themselves out of work. But we will not create the jobs we need unless the economy is growing; that’s why this GDP report is a good sign. And we can see clearly now that the steps my administration is taking are making a difference, blunting the worst of this recession and helping to bring about its conclusion.
We’ve acted aggressively to jumpstart credit for families and businesses, including small businesses, which have seen an increase in lending of 73 percent. We’ve taken steps to stem the tide of foreclosures, modifying mortgages to help hundreds of thousands of responsible homeowners keep their homes and help millions more sustain the value in their homes. And the Recovery Act is spurring demand through a tax cut for 95 percent of working families, and through assistance for seniors and those who have lost jobs – which not only helps folks hardest hit by the downturn, but also encourages the consumer spending that will help turn the economy around.
Finally, the Recovery Act is saving and creating jobs all across the country. Just this week, we reached an important milestone. Based on reports coming in from across America – as shovels break ground, as needed public servants are rehired, and as factories whir to life – it is clear that the Recovery Act has now created and saved more than one million jobs. That’s more than a million people who might otherwise be out of work today – folks who can wake up each day knowing that they’ll be able to provide for themselves and their families.
We’ve saved jobs by closing state budget shortfalls to prevent the layoffs of hundreds of thousands of police officers, firefighters, and teachers who are today on the beat, on call, and in the classroom because of the Recovery Act. And we’ve also created hundreds of thousands of jobs through the largest investment in our roads since the building of the interstate highways, and through the largest investments in education, medical research, and clean energy in history.
These investments aren’t just helping us recover in the short term, they’re helping to lay a new foundation for lasting prosperity in the long term – and they’re giving hardworking, middle-class Americans the chance to succeed and raise a family. Because of the investments we’ve made and the steps we’ve taken, it’s easier for middle-class families to send their kids to college and get the training and skills they need to compete in a global economy. We’re making it easier for these families to save for retirement. And in areas like clean energy, we’re creating the jobs of the future – jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced.
In fact, just this week, I traveled to Arcadia, Florida to announce the largest set of clean energy projects through the Recovery Act so far: one hundred grants for businesses, utilities, manufacturers, cities and other partners across the country to put thousands of people to work modernizing our electric grid – the system that provides power to our homes and businesses – so that it wastes less energy, helps integrate renewables like wind and solar, and saves consumers money. And that’s just one example.
So, we have made progress. At the same time, I want to emphasize that there’s still plenty of progress to be made. For we know that positive news for the economy as a whole means little if you’ve lost your job and can’t find another, if you can’t afford health care or the mortgage, if you do not see in your own life the improvement we are seeing in these economic statistics. And positive news today does not mean there won’t be difficult days ahead. As I’ve said many times, it took years to dig our way into the crisis we’ve faced. It will take more than a few months to dig our way out. But make no mistake: that’s exactly what we will do.
For the economy we seek is one where folks who need a job can find one and incomes are rising again. The economy we seek is one where small businesses can flourish and entrepreneurs can get the capital they need to plant new seeds of growth. The economy we seek is one that’s no longer based on maxed out credits cards, wild speculation, and the old cycles of boom or bust – but rather one that’s built on a solid foundation, supporting growth that is strong, sustained, and broadly shared by middle class families across America. That is what we are working toward every single day. And we will not stop until we get there.
Thank you. And Happy Halloween.Unusual Holidays and Celebrations

Feel like someone in your family is running hot and cold?
It might be as simple as a clash between impetuous youth and wise elders, or a similar circumstance that looks black-and-white from the outside.
Whatever side of the argument you happen to fall on, it's key to remember how things looked when you had a much different stance.
That alone could give you some common ground to fall back on as you discuss the matter at hand.

Breast exams on TV: Service or stunt?
I'm going with both. It is a service to men and women to demonstrate the proper way to perform a self breast exam. Of course, it is a 'stunt' this is America and a bare breast seen on television is pushing the envelope to the extreme - it shouldn't be, but with the 'watchdog' puerile perverts (who are already howling about it) trying to impose their warped views on the rest of us the only thing worse would be for TWO bare breasts to be seen on TV.

"Consumer spending plunged in September"
So, the economic roller-coaster ride continues:
Consumer spending plunged in September by the largest amount in nine months, reflecting the end of the government's Cash for Clunkers auto sales program. Incomes, the fuel for future spending, were flat.
While the government reported that the overall economy grew in the July-September period, signaling the end of the worst recession in seven decades, the weakness in spending and incomes as the quarter ended underscores the fragility of the recovery

Halloween Candy Demonic!?
More lunacy from the perverts over at the christian Broadcasting Network
To be honest, it's true that many consider Halloween a pagan holiday*, but come on.
It's truly just a excuse for children to go out and get some candy.
Do you realize one of the reasons that the U.S. pushed back DST in the fall until after Halloween?
It's because the candy manufacturers had been lobbying for years over it.
But according to the morons at cBN Halloween candy is cursed by witches

But according to the morons at cBN Halloween candy is cursed by witches
The nutcases at the christian Broadcasting Network posted this nonsense on a website (which they have since removed). But before it was removed the following 'quote' was captured:
“Most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches,” Daniels wrote. “I do not buy candy during the Halloween season. Curses are sent through the tricks and treats of the innocent whether they get it by going door to door or by purchasing it from the local grocery stores. The demons cannot tell the difference.”
You have got to be kidding with this bullshit!?!
*****
*****
* It is the pagan festival of Souwen (aka: Samhain) if one properly celebrates the reason for the holiday. However if you refer to it as Halloween (a bastardized term for the catholic mass on the eve of All Souls Day called All Hallows Eve you are celebrating the christian perversion of the true holiday.
