San Francisco transit aims
to snuff out private rival

Times 247, by Katherine Timpf Original Article

Posted By: ktimpf- 11/2/2012 2:23:04 PM Post Reply

On a typical work day in San Francisco, at least 27 private employers are picking up workers in shuttle buses — complete with cushioned seats and WiFi — at more than 200 stops across the city. The transit option is a booming private enterprise that reduces traffic congestion and air pollution. Some in the city want to snuff it out, San Francisco-style, with government regulations and fees. San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos wants to eliminate the cushy private shuttles and charge employers to use the Municipal Transit Agency's spartan buses, according to the San Francisco Examiner.

Democrats biggest losers
since 2008 in swing states?

According to a new study by the liberal group Third Way, pollster assumptions in the swing states may be very, very wrong. While many pollsters — like CBS/NYT/Quinnipiac and PPP, just to name two — assume that the electorate model for Tuesday will be similar to 2008, the Third Way study on partisan registration in eight states shows something very, very different. In each of these states, Democratic registration has trailed that of independents and Republicans by significant amounts — and in six of the eight states, Democratic registration has declined, sometimes dramatically (Snip) In 6 states—Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New

Reid: We Won't

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pledged to stonewall any attempt by Mitt Romney to pass his agenda if elected. “Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” spat Reid. Of course, when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested two years into President Obama’s presidency (after the stimulus package and Obamacare) that Obama’s failures to lead in bipartisan fashion made his defeat his first political priority, the left went insane; they still cite the line as evidence that

House panel wants answers on

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today demanded that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton turn over documents concerning what he called "excessively lavish" spending for official White House state dinners. Issa also released a video titled "All the President's Parties" comparing President Obama's promises to cut wasteful federal spending with examples of extravagance drawn from the dinners for foreign dignitaries. (Snip) The Examiner reported on Oct. 26 that a May 2010 Obama state dinner for Mexican President Felipe Calderón cost nearly $1 million, or $4,700 per attendee.

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are still suffering black-outs, with wide swathes of the city still without electricity. But the media centre for this Sunday's New York Marathon - which is still going ahead despite the widespread devastation landed on the city - will no suffer such problems. For organisers have installed two emergency generators, as well as a back-up, to keep news of the event flowing. The three generators could provide power for 400 homes - and the revelation has prompted outrage in a city which, in parts, has suffered four nights without heat or electricity.

President Obama on Friday blasted Mitt Romney for using “scare” tactics in claiming that U.S. car companies are moving jobs to China, and the Republican challenger warned in another battleground state that reelecting the president would lead to another showdown in Congress next year over the debt ceiling. Obama, speaking in this town about 12 miles northwest of Columbus, accused Romney of frightening Americans with false claims of job losses “just to scare up some votes.”

On a cold, dark Thursday night at 10:00 p.m., a blue and white Con Edison van is parked across the street from the substation on East 13th street, off the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Drive in Manhattan. Two workers in sky blue hard hats get out. They walk over to a manhole and remove the cover. Without a word, one of them grabs a hose from the van and lowers it down. The rest of the hose flops over the ground, extending to the sewer drain at the corner of the street. Steaming hot water slowly streams out.

A new survey released by Pew examined the negative coverage both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have received in the mainstream news as well as in social media. While MSNBC and Fox News are often seen as two sides of the same partisan coin, the survey found one network to be notably more negative toward a candidate. Seventy-one percent of MSNBC’s coverage of Romney, from August 27 to October 21 of this year, was negative (with three percent being positive). By contrast, Fox News’ negative coverage of Obama during the same period came in at 46 percent

Fires were barely snuffed out in Breezy Point. The dead were still being counted from here to Jersey. And the bodies of two tiny Staten Island brothers, 2, and 4, who were ripped by Hurricane Sandy from the arms of their frantic mother on Monday, were finally found yesterday, 20 yards from each other. They were gone. But the rich, the famous and narcissistic weren’t about to let

Angry residents pelted utility crews with eggs as they tried to restore power in Bridgeport, Conn., after the mayor claimed the local power company had "shortchanged" the state's largest city as it tries to recover from superstorm Sandy. United Illuminating workers reported eggs and other objects being thrown at them a day after Mayor Bill Finch said the utility was taking care of wealthy suburbs while his constituents suffered. The unrest caused United Illuminating to pull its workers out until the city agreed to provide police protection.

The owner of a Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Staten Island refuses to kick out his current guests, who lost their homes to superstorm Sandy, to runners arriving for Sunday's New York City Marathon. Hotel owner Richard Nicotra told Hotel Check-In Friday afternoon that local residents are relying on his hotel while they remain homeless due to the storm and that he won't let them down. Both Nicotra and his wife are second-generation Staten Island residents. Local cable channel NY1 first reported the story on Thursday.

Benghazi Culpability: Walls

The mainstream media is doing all that it can to avoid reporting on the Obama administration’s cover-up of the Benghazi scandal, where President Obama may have abandoned up to 32 Americans to die. Fox News is the only mainstream media outlet to undertake a concerted effort into sorting through the spin coming from the White House, and they’ve uncovered some maddening claims — including the latest bombshell, a classified cable from the consulate in August wherein the Regional Security Officer (RSO) warned they were understaffed and under-gunned: “RSO (Regional Security Officer) expressed concerns with the ability to defend Post

For the seventh night in a row, ABC’s World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News refused to give one single second of coverage to the Obama administration’s deceitful response to the terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11. According to the Media Research Center, the last time Benghazi was discussed on one of the flagship network evening news casts was the October 25 edition of CBS Evening News. Since then, ABC News and CBS News have relegated coverage of the Benghazi terrorist attack to their websites.

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers huddle in the dark each night after the most devastating storm in city history — while two massive generators chug away in Central Park and a third sits idle waiting to power a media center during Sunday’s NYC Marathon. Like hell. Those generators could power 400 homes on Staten Island or the Rockaways or any storm-wracked neighborhood in the city certain to be suffering the after-effects of Hurricane Sandy on Sunday morning. Shouldn’t they come first? Shouldn’t the race just be canceled? Damned straight.

Thank you. It’s good to be in the home state of the next Vice President of the United States. Next to Ann Romney, Paul Ryan is the best choice I ever made. Tonight, we enter the final weekend of the campaign. At Obama rallies, they are saying “Four More Years." We are shouting “Four More Days.” We are so very grateful to you and to people across the country, for all that you have given of yourselves to this campaign. This is not just about Paul and me.

With the iPhone5 reportedly already hitting the grey technology market here in Thailand and with the new iPad Mini likely to follow, consumers throughout the Asia-Pacific region are getting their hands on the latest products from Apple and others regardless of official launch dates in their respective markets.

Just when hateful documentary propagandist Michael Moore was becoming a distant, bad memory, he returns with a deeply disrespectful political ad that he produced in conjunction with the radical left MoveOn.org. It is one of the saddest and most revolting spots yet associated with the Obama campaign, which has turned this election into a carnival of vulgarity. The virulently radical Moore, who is vastly wealthy but affects solidarity with the working-class, is not only responsible for a corpus of film work that is bloated with anti-American lies and distortions, including

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that the September 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi demonstrated that President Obama allowed his political interests to “overwhelm” his duty to protect American citizens. “The reason this is so important is because you have the president’s politics overwhelming responsible things you would do to protect the lives of Americans and that’s an outrage,” Giuliani told Fox News’ Sean Hannity last night. “I can’t possibly imagine finding out that my ambassador is trapped, a couple of our Americans are trapped, and I don’t send the Marines in.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made tax reform a centerpiece of his campaign. His catchphrase description of the proposal is “lower the rates and broaden the base,” a concept that enjoys support not just from other Republican candidates, but also from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Bowles-Simpson Fiscal Commission. But that catchphrase immediately introduces a problem: for the most part, only wonks know what “broaden the base” means. What follows is a two-step clarification of the concept.

America is a seething hotbed of “Islamophobia,” filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the benign Muslim religion, according to the Obama administration’s lead investigator into the Benghazi atrocities. So said former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering in more polished, diplomatic language during an Oct. 23 panel discussion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The talk was on “what role the faith community can play in fighting Islamophobia,” a make-believe mental illness that Islamists would love to have listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

An open letter to my conservative readers: In the last month Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee, has been busy taking back nearly every promise he made to you in the GOP primaries. Why the conservative silence? Remember that for the last two years, true conservatives expressed grave doubts – in public and in private - about Romney as a flip-flopper, a politician lacking an ideological core. Also, remember that, at various times over the last two years, conservatives at the base of the GOP have told pollsters their choice for the nomination was a strong conservative voice –
