| On Thursday's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer played a montage of liberal comedians poking fun at election night coverage with the jokes overwhelmingly targeting Republicans and conservatives. "Turns out it's not all bad news for the Republicans. I guess it seems depression is covered by ObamaCare," quipped Tonight Show host Jay Leno. "A big night for the Democrats, Obama won the electoral vote and the popular vote. Mitt Romney on the other side won the unpopular vote," Late Show host David Letterman derided Romney.

Someday those that are laughing and making fun of Romney will someday wish he had been the one elected instead of Obama . After he destroys this country, and the freedom that we enjoy no longer exist. They will long for the old days.

When a womman walks on the beach with her mom and in a moment of clarity tells Mom that She's Not Feeling Quite Fresh, Mom usually recommends a gallon or so of David Letterman.

Nothing will educate such mockers but seeing and experiencing for themselves the consequences of Leftist fantasy ideology. Many, though not all, are capable of learning, but they are going to have to do it the hard way. Too bad the rest of us have to go along for the ride with them - but if Obama manages, as I think he will, to bring Leftism and the Leftist establishment into disrepute, the sea of troubles into which he is steering the ship of state may prove in the end to have been worth it.
Leftism, of which Obama is the spokesperson and the liberal establishment the cheerleaders, is founded upon a fundamental misunderstanding of reality. Schemes and projects based upon such false assumptions cannot possibly achieve their intended goals. They are bound to create unintended and undesirable consequences.
It should be interesting to see how many who are laughing and exulting now will be doing so in four years. Actually it may be considerably sooner when the laughter ceases. The Obama administration is a house of cards, all talk, wishful thinking and make believe thus far unmolested by reality. That is what has his supporters fooled. They are like sleepwalkers - but the time of their awakening is almost here. They won't be laughing then.

They own it now. There will be no compromise from the Democrats. They have waited too long for this. There is too much codified law now to even begin a defense not to mention the demographics and stupidity of an electorate conditioned from birth in this evil ideology. This is a place we've never been in our modern history but, there are a lot of fallen societies in world history that have.

"Spiking the football" is what we used to call bad sportsmanship. Even worse than being a poor loser, being a poor winner, a taunter, a braggart doing things that turns any competition personal... so personal that revenge can become a driver. revenge as a motive leads to malicious intent and dirty play.
It seems the more low brow the competitor, the more they taunt their advisaries. My suspicion is that "fair play" and "good sportsmanship" were an extension of chivalry. Cheating at the joust in front of ladies and gentlemen wouldn't be good for social standing. Even rules for fair play in war were established to prevent wholesale slaughter.
The fortunate among us were taught the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship as the means to keep competition honorable and bloodless. All I can say about CNN is, they must have been raised in some gutter.

I'm thinking how blessed Mitt Romney is today because he can't be blamed for this country's financial downfall. After eight years Obama and his happy throng will own their failure. There's no way the US can sustain the debt Obama has accumulated in the last four years. One day Romney will know 11/6/12 was the luckiest day of his life.

That popular vote victory is a subject I'd drop if I were them. It tends to lead the conversation toward Acorn, Jim Moran and so on. Reminds me I need to check to be sure the Donks aren't voting my dead parents via absentee ballot. ... Should we be putting out form language for people's wills specifying that executor is requested to remove name from voter rolls?

Let them laugh. As I recall, it was Marie Antoinette who said "Let them eat cake" just before the normally sedate and humble masses rose up, broke out the guillotine and commenced what is now a footnote in history. Must say I will not shed a tear as these cretins meet their sorry but deserved end. And they need to understand as well, that even their spawn will reap the whirlwind of destruction that their parents brought upon them.

DAMASCUS, Va - At least 50 people were injured Saturday after a car struck a crowd of hikers in the Appalachian Trail Days parade in Damascus. A Virginia State Police reconstruction team has closed off the bridge where the incident happened and is investigating it as a crime scene. According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place.

President Obama spoke of the importance of fathers to their sons on Friday after a young man he met at a community center in Baltimore mentioned wanting to provide for his sons. “You know, one of the biggest challenges – I grew up without a father,” Obama said at the Center for Urban Families, which serves fathers and their families. A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors. "The IRS goes AWOL when wealthy and powerful forces want to break the law in order to hide their

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.
