New Data on Wyo. Frack
Site Await Interpretation

Associated Press, by Mead Gruver Original Article

Posted By: bldrrepub- 9/27/2012 12:17:40 PM Post Reply

The meaning of reams of new data from groundwater testing in a remote Wyoming gas field where the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sparked concern last year will be a matter of interpretation. Does the new science shore up damnation of hydraulic fracturing — the petroleum industry practice of blasting water, sand and chemicals deep beneath the water table? Or does it refute criticism of the technique as too much anxious hand-wringing? No one is making either claim yet.

'Wake the f**** up': The shocking
pro-Obama ad that features
Samuel L Jackson shouting
profanities at apathetic voters

Daily Mail [UK], by Staff Original Article

Samuel L Jackson unleashes a profane tirade on apathetic voters in a shocking new pro-Obama campaign ad titled 'Wake the F*** Up!' In the startling video, the famously-fowled-mouthed actor confronts the sleepy members of a family with vulgar Dr Seuss-style rhymes that beg them to become active in the president's re-election campaign and blast Republican Mitt Romney. The clip ends when the little girl who accompanies Jackson, Susie, makes a disconcerting exclamation of her own, screaming 'wake the f**** up!' out her bedroom window. The spot is an open admission by a liberal interest group that voters have lost

Will California Become a
Right-to-Give State?

“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors,” Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “is sinful and tyrannical.” If the sage of Monticello is correct, then California’s powerful labor unions—along with the state government that both empowers and is empowered by them—are sinful and tyrannical indeed. In the Golden State, as, alas, in several other states, unions automatically deduct employee wages and funnel them to political campaigns—without the consent of the employee.

MoveOn Asks Justice Dept. To

Democratic group MoveOn.org Political Action is asking the Justice Department to investigate whether Mitt Romney violated the law when he stated, in a 2011 ethics filing, that he was not active in Bain Capital after 1999. (Snip) The group submitted an analysis and letter calling for investigation on the grounds that “there is good reason to believe GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney may be criminally liable for false statements he made in 2011 in his federal financial disclosure filing (form SF-278)—in apparent violation of the federal False Statements Act (18 U.S.C. §1001).” In July, the Boston Globe had

Europe's betrayal of Spain

We discover--yet again, you might say--that Germany, Holland, and Finland will not stand behind their solemn pledge of solidarity when push comes to shove. Spain’s premier Mariano Rajoy has been betrayed. Nobody should be entirely surprised if he and the Spanish arch-nationalists in his circle offer a condign riposte, and bring down the entire temple on the heads of the creditor powers. He bit the bullet and agreed to the highly intrusive terms of a €100bn eurozone rescue for the Spanish banking system on a specific understanding: that the ESM bail-out fund would ultimately take over the burden by recapitalising

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused the administration of President Barack Obama of covering up the events relating to the attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya which resulted in the death of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Giuliani called the administration’s action a “scandal” and said the U.S. media is a “disgrace” for not reporting on it. (Snip) Steve Doocy asked Giuliani for his opinion on reports that Obama administration officials knew that the attack in Libya was an Al Qaeda operation within 24 hours of the event.

Michelle Malkin sat down with Sean Hannity today for a segment that was focused on how much of a horrible liar they believe Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter is. Reacting to Cutter saying that women are “not really concerned about what’s happened over the last four years,” Hannity ripped into Cutter for the statement, while Malkin referred to her as a “shameless lying liar.” (Snip) Hannity was set off by Cutter’s most recent statements about the female vote. Cutter said on NPR that women are “not really concerned about what’s happened over the last four

Soros's Samuel L. Jackson
Ad Mocks Jewish Education

Jewish education is all about profanity, bestiality, and dishonesty--if George Soros, Samuel L. Jackson, and Sarah Silverman are to be believed. The so-called "Jewish Council for Education and Research," in reality a super PAC backed by Soros's son Alexander, has produced a new anti-Romney ad in which Jackson exhorts a family to "Wake the F--- Up!" and work for President Barack Obama's re-election. Earlier this year, the Jewish Council released an ad in which Silverman simulates sex with a dog to mock Jewish GOP donor Sheldon Adelson. There is nothing "Jewish" at all about these ads--far from it.

A photograph has emerged of Michelle Obama as a student at Princeton University in the early Eighties. It shows the First Lady at the age of 19, rocking head-to-toe denim - the height of fashion in 1983 - standing with her legs crossed and hands in her pockets. Her hair is worn naturally curly, a far cry from the sleek looks we see her sporting today, proving that even as a student she was in touch with the latest trends. The picture was provided by Kenneth Bruce, who lived next door to Mrs Obama

The first presidential debate is only a week away, but the L. A. Times is laying the groundwork to explain a bad Obama performance in the contest. In a September 26 article, L. A. Times writer Christi Parsons is already foreseeing the possibility of a rocky Obama performance. Her reason why Obama may under perform? He's busy. As far as Parsons is concerned, Obama is at a disadvantage for the up coming debates because he is busy being president and has less time for debate practice than Romney. "President Obama has blocked out three days to prepare

U.S. Army Lieutenant General (Ret.) William Jerry Boykin claims that individuals with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood hold security clearances in both the Pentagon and the Department of Defense. Boykin says Republicans should have listened to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn), who was correct to be concerned over possible Muslim Brotherhood ties of Huma Abedin, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff. Boykin says politicians on both sides of the aisle are scared to pursue the truth on this, for fear of being branded "intolerant," and the result of their inaction is continued

According to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Republicans are trying "suffocate the airwaves, suppress the vote, poison the debate, [so] people throw up their hands and say, 'I just don't even know if I want to participate in this.'" But, "we have to keep the campaign positive." Speaking on MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," the former House Speaker also called for public funding of elections.

Election, 1980-Style

There was only one presidential debate in 1980 between challenger Ronald Reagan and President Jimmy Carter. Just two days before the October 28 debate, Carter was eight points ahead in the Gallup poll. A week after the debate, he lost to Reagan by nearly ten percentage points. Reagan’s debate quip, “there you go again,” reminded voters of Carter’s chronic crabbiness. Even more devastating was Reagan’s final, direct question to American voters: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” No one, it seemed, could muster a “Yes!” Yet there was more to the

Demand for long-lasting manufactured goods plunged in August because of a huge drop in volatile commercial aircraft orders. But in a hopeful sign, orders that reflect business investment plans rose solidly. The Commerce Department said Thursday that total durable goods orders fell 13.2 percent in August, the biggest drop since January 2009 when the country was in recession. Aircraft orders fell by 101 percent.

With pundits rushing to file their Romney campaign obits ahead of the rush, the general consensus is that only a big time October surprise can save the GOP now. And while pundits generally look to the Middle East for likely sources of race-scrambling shocks, this year’s black swan could well fly in from the South, instead. By a quirk of fate, Venezuelans go to the polls to pick a president exactly 30 days before Americans do this year. Fourteen years into his term of office, an ailing Hugo Chávez faces his most competitive race yet,

Mitt Romney may have travelled to France in the 1960s to spread the word of the Mormon church - but it appears religion was not his only mission. An image reveals how he was also intent on romancing his soon-to-be wife by scrawling 'I LOVE ANN' in an enormous heart in the sand. Romney, who made sure there was also enough room in the heart for him to stretch out next to his message of devotion, then sent the photograph to Ann. The image was taken by a group of his friends in 1968 when Romney, then 21,

Sitting in for Ed Schultz on his national radio show Monday, trial lawyer Mike Papantonio was suggesting Mitt Romney is mentally ill: "It's not just that Mitt is seriously slipping in the polls. Lately it appears that Mitt is slipping mentally, psychologically, to the point that, you know, almost a shot of Thorazine and a month's vacation might be his campaign's best hope. Let the poor character has a rest 'cause he's coming unglued." And Romney's a criminal: "His personal tax coverup in offshore bank accounts are still producing a storyline that's making Mitt look

Mitt Romney plans to turn himself into a one-man truth squad during the first presidential debate next week, casting President Barack Obama as someone who can’t be trusted to stick to the facts or keep his promises. Top Republicans are telegraphing Romney’s hard-line strategy for his faceoff with Obama, according Mike Allen’s Playbook in POLITICO on Thursday. The debate plan comes during a presidential cycle where media fact-checkers have held a high profile and where an earlier effort by Democrats to cast GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan as untrustworthy got results.

In his speech to the United Nations on Wednesday, Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi condemned "insults hurled on the prophet of Islam, Mohammed," and said the United Nations must do something about it. "We reject this. We cannot accept it," he said, speaking of insults to Islam. "And we will be the opponents of those who do this. We will not allow anyone to do this by word or deed." The warning that "We will not allow anyone to do this" was spoken through a translator and did not appear in the prepared text of Morsi's speech.

URGENT: U.S. intelligence officials knew within 24 hours of the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that it was a terrorist attack and suspected Al Qaeda-tied elements were involved, sources told Fox News -- though it took the administration a week to acknowledge it. The account conflicts with claims on the Sunday after the attack by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice that the administration believed the strike was a "spontaneous" event triggered by protests in Egypt over an anti-Islam film. Two senior U.S. officials said the Obama administration internally labeled the attack

15:25 BST Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of remarks before the UN general assembly of Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. • Netanyahu is expected to keep up his drumbeat of forceful calls for an American-led military strike on Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu's increasingly vocal demands that the United States take a more aggressive stance on the issue have given him an unusually high profile in the US presidential election. Today's speech is the best platform the Israeli leader is likely to have to make his case before US attention

The law of unintended consequences was out in full force with the Obama administration's "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010," a law championed by first lady Michelle Obama and passed by Congress, supposedly to combat childhood obesity.
