´The Bible´ producers deny Satan
meant to look like President Obama

Los Angeles Times, by Meredith Blake Original Article

Posted By: LittleHoodedMonk- 3/18/2013 10:11:25 PM Post Reply

The producers of History´s enormous ratings hit "The Bible" may want to add a disclaimer to future episodes of the religious miniseries: Any resemblance between Satan and President Obama is purely coincidental. Given its subject matter, it was all but inevitable that "The Bible" would become a magnet for controversy, and so it has, though not for the reasons you might expect -- like, say, its emphasis on violence or its decidedly European-looking cast. No, the reason that executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett found themselves on the defensive on Monday is that a

WASHINGTON- A poll released Monday indicates less than half of all Americans think President Obama has done a good job lately and even fewer are enamored of Republicans. The CNN/ORC International poll found Obama´s job approval rating has dipped to 47 percent, an 8-point drop this year and the first time it´s been below 50 percent since September. Fifty-four percent have an unfavorable view of Republicans, the poll indicated. "The Democrats are not overwhelmingly popular -- 46 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the Democrats, compared to 48 percent with an unfavorable view --

The Republican Party released results Monday of a wide-ranging study on why it lost the presidential election, and as Party Chair Reince Priebus predicted Sunday on "Face the Nation," it was not a fun read. (Snip) Burton Waddy is among those voters that Republicans are trying to woo. It´s an effort to win back voters who were turned off by their message. "The Republican Party needs to come across as positive and upbeat and open and inclusive and not red-hot hatred," says Burton, a registered Republican who voted for Barack Obama in the last two elections.

DENVER—Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper will sign legislation Wednesday that sets limits on ammunition magazines and expands background checks for firearms, marking a Democratic victory in a state where gun ownership is a treasured right and Second Amendment debate has played out in the wake of two mass shootings. The measures proposed are some of the strictest gun laws in the nation,

Armed with confidential memos to Hillary Clinton that were stolen from the e-mail account of a former White House aide, a hacker has distributed some of the documents to a wide array of congressional aides, political figures, and journalists worldwide. In a series of weekend e-mail blasts, the hacker known as “Guccifer” disseminated four recent memos to Clinton from Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of the former Secretary of State. The 64-year-old Blumenthal, who worked as a senior White House adviser to President Bill Clinton, had his AOL e-mail account hacked last week by

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus batted away the idea on Monday that Sen. Rob Portman would receive any less support from the party after he recently expressed his support for same-sex marriage. “I think that there isn’t anyone in this room — Republican, Democrat, in the middle — that doesn’t think Rob Portman, for example, is a good, conservative Republican. He is. And we know that,” Mr. Priebus said at a breakfast hosted by the National Press Club. The event was to outlined elements of the RNC’s “Growth & Opportunity Project” — a roadmap for a

Why Pay Physicians Anything
At All For Providing Healthcare?

Sign-Up Last week, the National Commission on Physician Payment Reform released its recommendations, calling for the elimination of fee-for-service healthcare within the next 5 years. This organization, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is populated by physicians from academia, the insurance industry and from the public policy world. Having former GOP Senate Majority leader and cardiac surgeon Bill Frist serving as honorary chairman gives the imprimatur of bipartisanship and legitimacy. However, Dr. Frist, a former academic himself, has long favored a government supervised healthcare system, and is therefore less than objective in this regard.

Conservative House Republicans
propose balancing budget in four years

Daily Caller, by Alexis Levinson Original Article

As Republicans and Democrats try to find middle ground between the budgets that each side has proposed, the most conservative members of the House are throwing another budget into the mix, one that would balance the budget in four years. The Republican Study Committee’s “Back to Basics” budget proposes some of the same things as the budget introduced last week by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, but it proposes to balance the budget by 2017, rather than 2023. It does so by returning discretionary spending to $950 billion, lower than 2008 levels,

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin proved again today that she has the chops to thrill a conservative crowd like almost nobody else. In her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Palin delivered a series of snappy one-liners and pointed jibes, aimed both at liberals and the GOP establishment, that earned her plenty of applause and cheers. But the clearest sign of Palin’s real power was the man on stage before her: Texas GOP senator Ted Cruz. Cruz, who surprised the crowd by introducing Palin, noted how crucial her endorsement was in his Texas GOP primary

OXON HILL, Md. — Sarah Palin’s appearances no longer inspire speculation about her presidential aspirations, but her reception at a gathering of conservatives Saturday underscored her enduring popularity with the right. In a speech, she offered zingers for the Republican base but also a strenuous defense of her tea-party friends who are challenging the Republican establishment. In a pep talk at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Palin, a former governor of Alaska and Republican vice-presidential nominee, attacked President Obama and Beltway Republican groups that are

Rule Of Law: Markets tumbled after Cyprus and the EU said they might tax private bank accounts to pay for a bailout. Arbitrary property grabs are a new low and a bad precedent in this crisis. Worse still, it can happen here. As bad as tumbling markets around the world are, they seem to be the only signal strong enough to catch the attention of Europe´s otherwise unaccountable bureaucrats who have long since learned to ignore street riots. As stocks fell from Tokyo to New York, Europe´s leaders are scrambling to say they had nothing to do with the cause —

The Talented Mr. Perez

President Obama nominated Thomas Perez on Monday to run the Labor Department, praising him as "a consensus-builder" who passed the nation´s "first statewide living-wage law" in Maryland. That isn´t his only talent. Consider how Mr. Perez worked behind the scenes to undermine two civil cases against the City of St. Paul in order to stop a Supreme Court case that might have repudiated his discrimination enforcement theories. These columns first reported on the curious St. Paul episode in February 2012 ("Squeezed in St. Paul"), after the Minnesota city withdrew a case that it had spent

Racial Politics: By putting his civil-rights pit bull in charge of the Labor Department, the president thinks he can force businesses to hire minorities amid record joblessness. But he´ll only alienate employers more. Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez is a radical race-baiter who´s already estranged the nation´s largest lenders by falsely accusing them of racism in the most egregious antibank witch hunt in history. Under threat of prosecution, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, SunTrust Bank and dozens of other lenders have been forced by Perez to meet easy-lending benchmarks in the inner city.

Republican elites tend to favor mass immigration and be ambivalent or supportive of legal abortion and gay marriage. So, shouldn’t we take it with a grain of salt when the Republican leadership puts out a document saying that the GOP should change only its rhetoric on economic issues but change its substance on social issues? Ramesh Ponnuru makes the case at NRO today: These recommendations come naturally to Republican elites. Compared to rank-and-file Republicans, they are more likely to favor same-sex marriage and comprehensive immigration reform on principle, and those who are

President Obama´s greatest setback to date has been the 2010 midterm elections. Gains that Republicans scored in the House and Senate still circumscribe his agenda. It is no surprise, then, that the Obama White House wants to achieve something no other president has ever done: Retake full control of Congress in a midterm. The party of an incumbent president traditionally loses seats in midterm elections. The usual strategy is simply to minimize the damage. Yet Mr. Obama and many Democrats are so buoyed by national polls and the buzz from the November election that they sense a

Benghazi: The House GOP has threatened to subpoena the survivors of the Benghazi terrorist attack, those who know the truth, and hold up the nomination of our murdered ambassador´s replacement. It should do both. The Obama administration is fond of using a familiar tactic, the shield of an "ongoing investigation," to cover up its malfeasance in the deaths of Americans serving their country. It was used to hide the truth regarding the administration´s Fast and Furious gun-running operation to Mexican drug cartels, which resulted in the deaths of agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. They are using it again

NEW YORK -- Beyonce has just released the first new song from the sessions leading up to her forthcoming fifth solo album. Though there´s no guarantee it´ll arrive on the LP, "Bow Down/I Been On" is the first new music fans have heard from Bey since the release of her 2011 LP Four. Produced by Hit Boy, the track is a far cry from the triumphant, glistening pop most are used to hearing from Beyonce.

Teen Birth Control: IUDs

More doctors should speak with their teenage patients about intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants as possible methods of birth control, a new study says. In the study, some doctors, particularly pediatricians, did not have an accurate understanding of which teens are candidates for these birth control methods, and so did not discuss these options, the researchers say. For instance, some doctors said they thought teens could have IUDs only if they´d previously been pregnant, when in fact, any sexually active teen girl can be a candidate for this type of birth control, experts say.
