Prediction 1 - Republicans Accuse Obama of Politicking 9/11...But Cheney Can Release His Book
Obama will be accused of hijacking 9/11 for re-election purposes, but no outcry will be made as Cheney touts his book a week before 9/11...some things can wait.

Hurricane Irene, An Act of God
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-rt-us-usa-campaign-bachmann-irenetre77s2ri-20110828,0,5099906.story
Bachmann says God wants politicains to start paying attention.
Would it be more plausible if God caused Hurricane Irene and the destruction to force us to help others...
because we whine and accuse others too much? Maybe we should devote more funds to "lift all boats".

Ignorant Republicans !
From a letter to the Editor..
"Special favors warguy says, does that include the President's saving of GM and Chrysler? Yes, I agree that was a special favor to the UAW and, by the way, a special favor to Americans everywhere."
Bush bailed out the car companies...not Obama

John Yoo is Determined to be Right

"...One can argue over the costs, or about the benefits of any individual intervention, but the spreading of democracy, freedom, and markets through persuasion, coercion, and sometimes force provides a principled foreign policy that is consistent with America’s greatness in the past and continues our exceptional role in the world in the future..."
The cost of dead soldiers for a war we started (in Iraq) against a country that did not invade us, based on the
idea that Hussein was tied to bin laden, when one is Shia and one is shiite.

Two and 1/2 unbroadcasted minutes of Karl Rove (not the gambler...that's Bennett) speculating on why Sarah Palin went to iowa and premiered her movie there...
"...I thought that part of that was that she wanted to get more attention to herself but I guess, I guess that’s wrong. I guess that she wanted less attention so she did those things. I don’t know. It’s weird. Very odd..."

But it's not, which says a hell of a lot about American political culture. ..."

Republicans Taxes 2 They Want to Raise Them
http://www.tnr.com/blog/jonathan-chait/94167/why-republicans-turned-against-payroll-tax-cuts
"...a desire to boost economic growth under Republican presidents. Republicans are willing to support demand-side stimulus if a fellow Republican occupies the White House, but doing the same thing under a Democratic president is merely to stimulate his reelection prospects..."
"In any case, this does seem to be an incredibly powerful political message for Democrats, one they ought to highlight from now until the election in order to demonstrate the real nature of the GOP's position on taxes."

Republicans Taxes They Want to Raise Them
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_08/why_the_gop_is_against_the_ide031402.php
But they’re not. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) declared on Fox News over the weekend that he’s opposed to a payroll tax cut extension because “it would simply exacerbate our debt problems.”
Republicans have declared countless times that allowing taxes to go up when the economy is weak would be a disaster, and yet, here we are.

Thank America Last
When the fear of Obama getting some credit for success is stronger than the satisfaction that comes with a tyrant’s fall, there’s a problem.

Turmoil in Libya and the Dow is Up
Just shows how it's all a con game. The markets should be fearing oil disruption, but the money grabbers know now is the time to buy the 401K dumped stocks.

Myron Bolitar Movie: The Cast
If there was a movie about MB Reps, who would play the roles?
Myron Bolitar: Vince Vaughn (I am not a big fan of his, but he seems to be able to play a big lunky/hobbled ex-athlete)
Win: Although he is described as blond/blue eyed...Justin Theroux would be a good pick
Esperanza: J. Lo, Salma Hayak
Big Cindy: Monique
Girlfriend in Angola: Reese Witherspoon

Bachmann Elvis Overdrive
"Before we get started, let's all say happy birthday to Elvis Presley today!" Bachmann said.
But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, "He died today!"

Delusional: Rick Perry Thinks Bernanke's a Democratic Operative
"...And he believes that Bernanke's attempts to prevent a Second Great Depression are partisan politics, and an attempt to rig the election. He seems to think, in other words, that the man who was the head of George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers and was appointed to Fed Chairman by George W. Bush is somehow a Democratic party operative trying to win the election for Obama..."

Treasonous: Rick Perry "Blesses" Texan's desire to Secede
Instead of being "resolute" to the idea that "...those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.”
(Mark 10:9),
Perry says they may start thinking about it...twice!!!
" ...you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot too..."

Yea...But...
If we decided to build a couple of new carriers, thousands of workers would be hired for the shipyards. Thousands of employees would be hired for the steel mills that would provide the steel for the hull and various sub contractors would hire thousands. Do you know what that means?
It means they would receive paychecks and go out and spend that money. That would help a recovery. That is a shovel ready project!http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/08/stimulus-thinking
Palin
Sarah Palin raised the state oil tax. Her central achievement as governor was signing a law, Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share (ACES), that dramatically increased the state's share of oil profits just as oil prices began to take off. There's a direct line between increased revenue and improved fiscal health.
