Just turned C-Span on and they are debating the 2012 budget

Sen. Tom Coburn is an MD (general practitioner) and Senator from Oklahoma . and recognized as 'the conscience' of the US Senate. He is well respected on both 'sides of the aisle' & probably one of the few senators to actually read these 'bail-out' bills. (Google him for his background.) This takes a couple of minutes. It's from his speech in the Senate regarding the 2012 budget... "We are going in exactly the wrong direction. We ought to be standing ...

See what you think. It's 205 pages. Can you hang in there that long to read it? ...

Just FYI: I know some of you don't like Fox News, but try to tune in at 2 p.m. today for Chris Wallace (Fox News Sunday). Paul Ryan is on and he gives very detailed information about budget cuts for 2012. This budget will be released Tuesday, so this is kind of a sneak peak for anyone that's interested. ...

The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict: 1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots. A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots a ...

Syria crisis: David Cameron's plea to MPs over evidence MPs are debating a government motion which could pave the way for military action in Syria following a chemical attack near Damascus. David Cameron said he was convinced the Assad regime was behind the attack and there was a "clear legal basis" for targeted strikes to save lives. But he understood public cynicism about it after "the Iraq episode". Labour's Ed Miliband said he was not against intervention but more evide ...

Everyone should watch this and listen. Link ...

I actually bought this book a week ago and have yet to start reading it, but will soon. The author, Aaron Klein is on C-SPAN right now. Hope some of you can catch it and we could maybe have a discussion! ...

SHOTS WERE FIRED OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL. They are on lockdown. That's what vicious rhetoric gets you. Now, don't you think duct tape should be used on some mouths for uttering such vile comments against the other party? Words like Terrorist, anarchist, hostage takers, bombs strapped to their chests, jihadists (used yesterday), extortionists, blah, blah, blah. This is no new that the media hasn't picked up on it yet. ...

I have a crockpot, but last time I used it was around 2004. It's been boxed up in moves. Do crockpots have a life span? or do you think it's okay to use. It's not damaged, just unsure whether to use it. ...

Why do the Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee insist on wasting time by making speeches? They are on that committee to ask questions of anything that comes before them (not just the new healthcare laws), not make political speeches. The same thing happens all the time. The Republicans are asking questions, while the Democrats make speeches on how mean the Republicans are. I don't find the questions mean or trying to "undo" the law. In fact, I think these are questions mo ...

His name is James Alan Fox of Northeastern University. When C-Span 3 makes this video available, I wish you all would watch it even though it's very long. He has written 18 books and numerous articles on criminals and violence. Below is a link to just one of his articles: http://www.naturalnews.com/039345_DHS_arms_race_armored_vehicles.html#ixzz2McBNXyOd ...

They were taking comments on the shutdown through Facebook, tweets, on their site, and from phone calls. Believe it or not, so many were complaining about C-Span not being shut down because they didn't consider cameras in Congress or in committee meetins essential government employees! Hello? Just about every site you go to has a link "About Us" or something like that. Don't people read about the sites they visit? If those people would have read about C-Span, they would have fo ...

Letter was sent to Pelosi, Reid, Boehner, and McConnell requesting that the critical stages of health care reform be allowed to be televised so the public have full access to the legislation that affects them.. http://www.c-span.org/pdf/C-SPAN%20Health%20Care%20Letter.pdf ...

Those in the country that are for gun control seem to lump all gun deaths into the final total. I just read today where the editor of the paper pointed out that there are 30,000 gun deaths a year...but (s)he doesn't break it down to non-criminal or criminal. Most of those deaths were caused by drug deals gone bad, drug deals, gang turf wars, etc. All people are thinking about are the 1% not caused by criminal actions, but the recent tragedy in CT has zeroed in on lumping LEGAL g ...

I've wk'd at home for 10 yrs and have very few "close" friends to share w/ but thought some fellow MTs, might "get me." The last 3 months have been rough. The comp I loved for those 10 yrs was bought, my pay and self-esteem tanked, my accounts were suddenly gone, I spent 10-12 hrs/day trying to get in an 8-hr shift, hubs didn't understand, cat was lost by sitter while I was OOT, and my g'ma died the day I got back. Doc prescribed an antianxiety med as ...

Writing on the National Review’s website Monday, Lowry says it’s now or never for the popular former Florida governor who has already explicitly ruled at a 2012 bid, saying wait ...

Hope this is true-it would sure make things easier for the dems! Palin says 'absurd' not to ponder presidential bid Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin addresses attendees at the Na... WASHINGTON — Sarah Palin says it would be "absurd" for her not to consider running for president in 2012. The former Alaska governor and the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 says she will run for president if she believes it's rig ...

I'm to the point where we will either have a republican in the White House who doesn't have a clue or the cajones to do right by the American people....or we will have another 4 years of President Obama who has done very little but spend spend spend...which I grant that Bush started but Obama has taken it to a whole new level. I'm so discouraged by our choices and I just want it over with. I personally feel like nothing great will happen to our country either way the e ...

should have to produce their long-form birth certificate to run and lay this thing to rest once and for all. Trump did and he is not even running yet...lol. Seriously....this cycle and every cycle after it no matter WHO is running...birth certificate when you file. Period. Obama is going to look bad no matter which way he goes on it now....if he produces it, trying to explain why he stonewalled and trying to make the explanation sound adult; or stonewall again. Either way... Go a ...

In the near-absence of any sign that Sarah Palin is actively considering a GOP primary campaign, the good folks at Conservatives4Palin come up with this alternative scenario to keep hope alive: [T]he possibility of an independent run does make sense and to delay the anouncement of her candidacy may simply be part of a bigger plan. Sarah Palin promised this to be a very unconventional election cycle. Creating a third party fits that narrative. ... Political parties always fear a rogue thi ...

took lessons from the past, sued early and often, and on Wednesday morning we knew who our new elected officials were. From Reuters: "Voting-rights advocates, along with the U.S. Department of Justice and some political party officials, tackled potential electoral problems early this election year. Judges blocked stringent voter ID laws, lifted registration restrictions and rejected limits on early voting. As a result, Election Day 2012 escaped the legal dramas of the past. While ...

Also, did you guys see the pictures of Beijing? Whether or not you believe global warming is man-made, this cannot go on. "Researchers from Nasa said it was the ninth warmest year while experts from another American agency said it was the tenth. Both teams said that temperatures would have been higher if it hadn't been for the the La Nina weather pattern that brought cooling to some regions. The scientists were equally certain that carbon dioxide was the principal drive ...

"Mr President, this is your moment. We want you to lead." He's calling on him to "make good on a balanced approach." "Lets find the common ground that has eluded us." He messaged a willingness to consider higher taxes as part of a tax code overhaul "under the right conditions." He then turned around and referenced past budget talks he had with the president, who Boehner said "endorsed the idea of tax reform and lower rates, including the top rate of lower than ...
