Sure: Dems move Obama's speech to smaller venue
Excerpt: President Obama's acceptance speech has been moved from the Bank of America Stadium to the Time Warner Cable Arena, Democrats announced Wednesday.
The move is because of "severe weather forecasts," the Democratic National Convention Committee said in a statement. (The “weather” they were worried about was “whether” there would be enough butts to fill half the seats at the stadium. ~Bob.)
The ‘Risk’ of Being Poor. By Neal Boortz
Excerpt: Melissa’s meltdown (Can I just call her Melissa? The Harris Hyphen Perry is tiring) occurred on her show over this past weekend. The topic had turned to welfare and income mobility. Melissa apparently lost it when a guest on her show suggested that people move from lower to higher income brackets by taking risks. Oh my! Now THAT yanked Melissa’s chain.
Holder derides Washington
Excerpt: In a letter to the editor published Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder accused the Washington Times of running an “ill-informed” and “offensive” editorial in late August that criticized new hiring policies at the Department of Justice…. “The memo lists a number of ‘targeted disabilities’ that trigger special hiring privileges in compliance with President Obama’s Executive Order 13548,” the Times editorial board wrote. “Among them are people with ‘severe intellectual disability,’ ‘psychiatric disability’ or other undefined ‘current severe physical, intellectual or mental conditions.’

September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
Yeah, I know PF isn’t political, though it kills as many—probably more—people than breast cancer. Have to have a defined victim group to get the big research dollars, pink ribbons, TV time, celebs etc. of the political diseases. But I do take a personal interest. ~Bob.
Excerpt: Recent months have taught us something important about the Obama White House. Listen to the silence — listen carefully to what the president has not said in recent weeks about leaks that endanger the country, a revolting accusation in a campaign ad, and the relationship between Obamacare and religious freedom. On all three issues, the president could have stood up for honor and decency without hurting himself politically. But he didn’t; and so we are forced to wonder just how much he values honor and decency.
Worth Reading
Excerpt: What had once been a daring liberal agenda gradually ossified into a reactionary dogma that the poor are always to be defined in relative terms to those better off, never by absolute standards of global wealth and poverty, and thus are always in need of yet more government help. The goal became collective equality rather than a safety net to mitigate the effects of misfortune, accident, and illness.
What the 2012 Election Means for Israel. If elected, Romney will be staunchly loyal, but Obama’s coldness will turn glacial. By Daniel Pipes

Nickolodeon: Cyber-Bully Jason Biggs Appropriate For Kids. By Ben Shapiro
Excerpt: How many tweets about the anuses of conservative women does it take to get fired from Nickelodeon? Imagine if Biggs had tweeted about the “bleached asshole” of Michelle Obama. But when it’s Republicans being slandered – or Republican wives – Nickelodeon and Viacom (its parent company) seem to have no problem. (Frankly, I wouldn’t watch this individual anywhere. But I heard he was famous for doing something with an all-American apple pie….pretty perverse as well. Perfect for molding young, impressionable minds. Maybe Holder at DOJ will snap him up for his deviancy? So WHO has a war on women? Really? From the actions, it looks like Dems have no respect for REAL WOMEN. –Barb. Damn. Another personality I don’t know and don’t think I every watched, so hard to boycott him. ~Bob.)

Why My Head Is Spinning. By Burt Prelutsky
Excerpt: I understand why liberals want to get elected to political office. After all, not everyone can be a millionaire, but at least if you’re elected to Congress, you get to live like one. You get to receive all sorts of perks, including a bevy of aides and interns whom you don’t have to pay out of your own pocket, but who are nevertheless ready at a moment’s notice to gas up your car, drive you to the airport and pick up your dry cleaning. The part I don’t get is why anyone would want to vote for them.
http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/princetons-iranian-agent-of-influence/
Excerpt: As the Islamic Revolution has devoured its own, many Iranians have sought refuge in the West. After the fraudulent 2009 presidential elections and the crackdown that followed, the United States and Europe were flooded with Iranian pro-democracy dissidents and even pro-regime types who fell afoul of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s shrinking definition of “loyal.” In this latter category is the former ambassador and nuclear negotiator Seyed Hossein Mousavian, who left Iran in 2009 and has since resided at Princeton University

Reader response to “The Terrifying New Normal
I'm quite surprised that Hanson's first observation about the "new normal" is not a key election issue. When one considers the proclivity of the AARP cohorts to vote, how can one not be alarmed to see one's saving's be eaten up by even minimal inflation. Interest on savings is almost zero, US bonds and CDs pay little more. Fed and tax policies do not incent savings from any cohort of the population. Common sense normally argues for savings to supplement Social Security and tax-deferred plans. However, under current circumstance, unless that money is put at risk heretofore uncommon for such purposes, saved principal would be eroded. When candidates talk about the sacred middle class and the need to protect the elderly, who is talking about protecting that which they have properly earned and saved? As for young people, if they indeed have jobs that pay, there is little talk (except perhaps for Ryan who is touting self-directed retirement funds as a social security option) about how they are to build their nest eggs. Cordially, Larry Greenberg
Quotes from The Patriot Post
"Just about this time in 2010, the Obama administration, in the person of Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner, proclaimed to the world that the economic recovery had begun. 'Welcome To The Recovery' was the title of Geithner's op-ed in the New York Times. 'Exports are booming,' Geithner boasted. 'Businesses have repaired their balance sheets and are now in a strong financial position to reinvest and grow.' Someone at one of the debates should ask how, after a short burst of reasonable growth in 2010, George W. Bush was able to reach out and crush the Obama economy." --columnist Mona Charen

"At a campaign rally, Michelle Obama encouraged people to 'get to the polls on November 2nd.' I don't usually support Obama voters, but this is a movement I could get behind." --Fred Thompson, noting that Election Day is Nov. 6

By the mid-1960s, however, the number of out-of-wedlock births to black mothers had doubled. (It’s well documented that black kids who want to get an education in our cities are mocked for “acting white.” I wonder if black men who want to get married and support their kids are mocked by fellow blacks the same way. ~Bob.)

Emails: Obama officials enriched former firms, possibly themselves with auto bailout. By Matthew Boyle
Excerpt: During the auto bailout, now former Treasury official Matt Feldman, Obama Auto Task Force adviser Harry Wilson and other administration officials drove the Delphi pension cutoffs for non-union retirees.

Israeli security cabinet meeting adjourned due to leaks on secret Iran
Excerpt: …..Israeli officials have been pressing for a forceful statement by President Obama that would specify what steps, including military action, could be taken against Iran if it continues its nuclear program, suggesting that a tougher stance would reduce the need for Israel to act on its own. … “What is needed now to help stop Iran are some clearly defined lines in the sand,” Gold said. “Otherwise, in the months ahead they’re going to be rounding third base and heading toward nuclear home plate.”

Democrats focus on equal pay issue while Obama White House pays women less. By David Martosko
Excerpt: Government records show that despite the Democratic National Convention’s early focus on salary equality for women, President Barack Obama has consistently paid his own female staffers less than men who perform similar or identical duties. Such a gender pay gap, he claimed, “weakens families; it weakens communities; it’s tough on our kids; it weakens our entire economy.” But data from the Obama White House’s 2011 annual report show that female staffers there earn a median salary 18 percent lower than that of men.
John Cusack Interviews Law Professor Jonathan Turley About Obama Administration’s War On the Constitution

Krauthammer on Michelle Obama’s ‘brilliant’ speech: ‘I didn’t buy a line of it. By Jeff Poor
Excerpt: Krauthammer went on to say that despite of his high marks for the performance, the substance was not believable. “Looking at the scene, looking at how he’s conducted himself if the presidency and particularly campaign, with ruthlessness and determination and drive it’s not quite a plausible story,” Krauthammer said. “I’m sure in the arena it was a plausible story. I saw the tears but I’m afraid, I thought it’s a great speech but I didn’t buy a line of it.”
Fact Check: First Lady's False Fairy Tale of Struggle. By Joel B. Pollak

Bracken: When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence
Excerpt: We have seen them all before, and we shall see them all again as history rhymes along regardless of the century or the generation of humankind nominally in control of events. But the next time we are visited by widespread, large-scale urban riots, a dangerous new escalation may be triggered by a new vulnerability: It’s estimated that the average American home has less than two weeks of food on hand.

Fact-Checkers Ding Democrats, Too: Democrats fudge figures, misrepresent Romney policies
Excerpt: Fact-checkers raked Republicans over the coals during their convention, but Democrats haven't exactly been squeaky clean, either. Here are some of the distortions spotted on night one of the convention: (Yep, it's the same dingy game everybody plays. I don't like it from anyone, no matter which Party is doing it. And the sad thing is that while anyone can check all the assorted claims made in speeches and ads, and find all the mistakes, omissions, exaggerations, and falsehoods, very few people do. Instead the ones who like Mr. Obama believe all the stuff from his side and say the GOP stuff is all crap, while the other side believes all their stuff and say all the Obama stuff is crap. I'd love to see a really comprehensive listing of every single bad claim or ad from each side, and see if one is any longer a list than the other, or has more egregious misinformation in it. In the end an intelligent voter can only try to look at what's gone on for the last 3.5 years and decide if Mr. Obama is liable to be able to do any better if re-elected, or if on the other hand Mr. Romney's ideas sound like he'd do a better job if given the chance. Trying to see through the smoke and mirrors of the campaigning isn't easy, but we can only try to examine as much of the reality as we can. --Del)

Excerpt: Yes America, we are still on suicide watch over this great country as re-election victory scenarios are developed and employed to ensure Barrack Obama and his Progressive Socialist supporters, radical union thugs, Chicago cut-throat operators, and ardent admirers win in November at any cost. We must understand that they have an “agenda”, and it’s not an agenda whose priority is America as we know it.
