Some interesting energy coming from CPAC. Cheney was a plus.
No need to apologize! We know you are busy. Great job by the way on Hannity last night and this am on Fox and Friends.
MM is great on every show she goes on..goes without saying!!!
Terminator Malkin. Agreed god job on Hannity. Missed the F&F segment.
Dramatic Olberman vs Dramatic Chipmonk.
pssst…the teacher’s gone.
Now we can cuss and stuff!
Let’s not let further work towards the government health care takeover go unnoticed because it’s a big news day.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/18/white-house-democrats-near-accord-health-care/?test=latestnews
The violence is rightly claiming the majority of the media’s attention, but this is still very important.
Hey Michelle,
I know your schedule is busy, but if you could find time to bop out to suburban Virginia, I’ll have Mrs. Ragman whip up some of her killer adobo.
Even Michelle couldn’t get me to watch Team Hannity/Gingrich.
I drive by the airplane building every day.
Even though he had issues, and was more liberal than not, I’m sure Olbermann is going to blame this on tea partiers.
Pasadena Phil – Oh, come on! I don’t care if he’s a Rupublican water carrier – I love to hear Odumbo get bashed over and over! It’s red meat to someone like me. I love it!
Yeah, Hannity SHOULD avoid Gingrich, Michael Moore, Donohue & Whoopie Goldberg. If not, he will go behind Bret Baeir as now. (Leave them to BOR.)
You’re a “great American” on the “Stop fill-in-the-blank Express”.
Listening to formulaic partisan hacks like Hannity gives me a headache.
Smoking Gun via IRS pilot’s site via Washington Examiner.
This guy who flew his plane into a building was up there on the nutso chain. The link above is from his site, which was taken down by the hosting company but not before they gave a copy to Smoking Gun. Just giant piles of crazy in there.
Don’t you like to hear Odumbo get bashed over and over?
Great American on the Stop Obama Express!
How can we be discussing politics when Spring Training has started?
Life is good again.
Suicide pilot hated Bush and supported government health care.
From California, and moved to most liberal city in Austin.
I smell Democrat.
But he had issues with the IRS, and was apparently white, so he’ll be linked to the Tea Parties. If they can link Obama Girl Dr. Bishop to the Tea Parties, simply by being white, they can’t link anything.
I get plenty of Obama bashing from much better sources than Hannity. Mark Levin for instance. Ann “Dodge that pie!” Coulter is another. So is Michelle.
It’s about intellectual integrity and reconciling what you say with what you do. Last week, I heard Hannity assuring a caller that he is very concerned about Republicans who continue to stray from core conservative principals. Guess who his guest was? Gingrich. Do you think he was gushing? You bet!
Sinatra sings “Strangers On My Flight”, cute (caution – for mature audiences)
I don’t tknow if the nutter was an experienced amateur pilot, but he had very good aim.
We need a 10 day waiting period for stolen airplanes.
“Mr. Newt” has been sort of dead to me since appearing in a commercial paid for by Al Gore, sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi.
That image will haunt him forever, almost like a Buick in a salt pond.
It’s also about figuring out, for the long and short term, who is at least appearing conservative for the right reasons and who is just an opportunist in conservative rags….
If Kennedy had been driving a ’69 Beetle, he might have gone on to become President.
HA is doing a great job with interviews of those at cpac. I loved it when VP Cheney showed up. I hope sometime in the near future Liz runs for public office. I love her! I have a feeling the msm will have a field day trying to undermine all those at cpac.
Have a good time Michelle. Stay safe.
L
Glenn Beck is a truther.
Gingrich must have pictures of Hannity having sex with another woman, or animal, or something. Why else would Sean fawn over Newt so much? Maybe he loaned Sean money…..
Ed – as a pilot, hitting the side of a building with a single engine Cessna is no great feat.
Read his raaaaaaambling manifesto at TSG, and it really sounds like he may have bought into one of those “How to manipulate the IRS” groups and as always it backfired on him, and ate him alive. Stupid is as stupid does.
Still waiting for PMSNBC to make him one of them there whacked out rightwing extremists Napolitano was so worried about. Guess her system didn’t work.
*Hannity is getting to be all talk and no walk; He constantly invokes Reagan, but hangs with squishy Newt and will stay uncommitted in the McCain/Hayworth primary in Arizona; He is as pliable as the Pillsbury Doughboy, whereas MM is rock solid in her conservatism(as in not afraid to call out Norquist as the advocacy pimp for illegal alien amnesty that he is).
We the People of the United States of America have the right to have our borders and our laws respected and enforced.
Citizens of other countries illegally in our country have no right to demand anything from our government. They most certainly have the right to petition the governments of their home countries for change if they are unhappy with their home country. If they want to be Americans, we have a path to citizenship, more generous than any other nation, and it starts in their home country.
We need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of the law or devolve into anarchy. Our Republic only functions if everyone follows the same rules. We should not change the laws to accomodate those breaking them.
If America annouces to the world “We can’t stop you, so come on in” with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn’t get your attention, then wait until it’s 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress’ to give away. America belongs to We the People. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It’s O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.
Here is a photo of Joe Stack.
He belonged to a Band “Billy Eli Band” in Austin
Scroll down the right hand side. He played on a song titled Maria?
The clip says no such thing.
His comments about Bush, Clinton and Burger were spot on. Burger should have been charged and tried. The Bush DOJ gave him a pass.
Asking WHY is a legitimate question.
No different than Holder and the NBPP.

Since it’s an open thread, one of my favorite topics:
Number of planets found outside of our solar system so far: 429
Esimated number of Jupiter size planets in our galaxy (based on Hubble images): 6 billion
Rough estimate of number of galaxies in the universe: 200 billion
Lots of planets out there….
Open thread on Thursday? I’m disoriented now.
I telegraphed the McCain vs. Hayworth thing was going to get ugly. Wish I could say I was wrong. McCain is doing JD a favor by McCain getting so nasty so quickly.
And its only just begun.
I’m waiting for JD to sound all Regan but it will be “Will now John, there you go again….”
“was apparently white, so he’ll be linked to the Tea Parties.”
Sorry but I disagree. The folks linking crack pots to the Tea dudes and dudettes need no reasonably explanation.
So, of all the planets in all the galaxies in all the universe, why did BHO have to walk into mine?!?
“Lots of planets out there….”
Yet only ONE with any sign of life. Interesting hey?
The link leads to a very poorly interpreted piece on Beck. If, after reading and watching the clips provided you somehow think he’s questioning who was responsible for 911, you are indeed a farking idiot.
LOL
We may know soon:
http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/TPF/tpf_signsOfLife.cfm
I did not watch the videos on Glenn about 9/11. I have listened and watch Glenn for a long time and will not and can not believe is a truther. People can like or not Glenn. I feel he is about as honest a person on how he feels as anyone on radio or the tube. Our home will watch Glenn on Fox every day as long as he is on.
L
There is a germane Beck quote in the first vid that draws the line: “You have the right to peacefully, reasonably question your government; you have a responsibility to do that.”
In stark contrast to truthers, Beck’s questions are reasoned. You may disagree with his reasoning, but not his lack thereof.
Something he could not, or would not do in 2008.
Fig Newton lost my support when he was busy pushing his rewrites of history books. He was totally caught up in himself, and completely missed the warning signs of the GOP going down.
And I don’t see what Hannity sees is advantageous in knowing Newt.
Well, considering we are looking at most of them from trillions of miles away (1 light-year = 6 Trillion miles +/-), seeing any signs of life would be a little difficult. We can only infer there may be life by studying the composition of the atmosphere’s of some of these planets. I’m waiting to see some pictures of smaller, earth-sized planets. The new methods of dimming the host star light look really promising. To think we are the only ones (not that you do) is naive to say the least.
He lost mine when he sat on the bench with Stretch Pelosi. I’m sick of RINOs who reach across the isle at our expense.
And none of it means anything. Read this speech by Dr. Michael Crichton. Here’s an excerpt.
Which is where all liberal “science” is today.
I knew that, many ex-pats commenting on Huffpo as a matter of fact
#31
Another psycho computer guy who played bass guitar from California.
Good thing Chuckles the Dancing Clown doesn’t know how to fly a plane.
I’m a little surprised it took them this long.
I was going to say “I wish McCain had gotten nasty with Obama”, but then I realized the problem.
Obama’s a Democrat, not a Republican. McCain does not say nasty things about Democrats.
BHO signed another order creating that 18 member blue ribbon debt commission, which will look to reduce the federal budget deficit to 3 percent of gross domestic product in five years.
As Rush said today, they would only need to meet for 5 minutes and point all fingers to BHO POTUS.
Another example of why government payroll and expenses are up.
Wanna bet that each member will need:
support people
phones
‘puters
copy paper
transportation
donuts
coffee
a few nights on the town
a junkett or two to some other
countryresort for outside consultationsand ….

Not just in the White House. As Commander-in-Chief, Obama has access to every every miltitary and national security secret of this country.
Instead of being in jail where he belongs, Bill Ayers has his protégé usurping the most powerful position in our government.
Ayers used to attack our government from the outside. Now he is doing so from the inside.
Have a good time at CPAC (if that’s where you are)!
Question, if you sell Hot Air, how will we watch videos of your appearances on Fox (if we missed the live shot)?
I read the pilots rant. All of it. It appears he is correct when he writes about how our government bails out the large companies that screwed up, but do not care about folks like us.
Now, I have written our government has Treason in their actions when they place us in hock to the CHICOMMS, and Central Banks.
As someone who supports the Tea party movement, it is way past time to clean house in America. Both parties have stabed us in the back.
Although, I do not agree with flying a plane into a building, I would like to see those in government stand trial for not closing the border, using tax payer money to save large companies, robbing pension plans, etc…
Sadly, you are right. SETI is a joke. Newton and Einsteins theories of a “force” emanating from all matter that somehow, endlessly holds you to the planet, is also total bunk. There are sooooo many holes in Einsteins drivel that it makes one wonder how this man was taken seriously to begin with. But, here we are….all these years and theories later and gravity still cannot be proven with Einsteins math…or Newtons for that matter because Einsteins math is really a raping of what Newton had to begin with…which was wrong, but was a good model of what he was seeing in his experiments….just not necessarily what is really happening at the atomic level to explain the “effect” of gravity. And if you base most of your theories on incorrect assumptions to begin with…as stated by “tomuchtime” in the post above…you head down the wrong path. Science today is not science at all. I could go on…but I’ll stop there.
Reading the ramblings of the kamikazi pilot, I sense that he was kooky, ill-informed, angry at everything that moved and not terribly intelligent. Whatever he got right, chances were it was for the wrong reasons, or by accident.
He was remarkably similiar to some liberals I know.
Bwahahahaaahahaaaa!!!
Not quite.
I had to laugh at that one!
There are more than a few things we ain’t tellin’ this guy!!
….like where the keys to the bunker beneath the White House are.
Jimmy Carter Redux:
Fed is starting to raise interest rates, unemployment unexpectedly rose,
inflation unexpectedly jumped, Iran is on the verge of going crazy.
Seems like old times. Barack Obama Carter, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Preemptive Strike:
No matter what he says tomorrow, Tiger Woods will always be a liar, a cheat, a fraud, a low life piece of scum. He is lower than a nasty spec of bacteria on a snakes belly.
“….will always be a liar, a cheat, a fraud, a low life piece of scum.”
With a boner.
“Bunker?
What bunker Mr. President?”
“Come now, you’ve been watching too many movies!”
The peanut farmer probably heard those same words.

Please explain. Doesn’t the Commander in Chief have the highest of security clearances? I know “Top Secret” isn’t really the top, that there are other clearances not generally discussed, but couldn’t Obama see absolutely anything he wanted to?

Back when the Democratic Socialists were saying that McCain was running for “Bush’s third term”, I said that Obama was running for “Carter’s second term”.

Anybody paying attention to this: IAEA fears Iran working now on nuclear warhead
A certain thin blondhaired bomb thrower had excellent commantary on this very issue on her website yesterday.
My Tea Party voting strategy:
Wipe out the Dems in 2010, then lock & load for RINOS in 2012.
At first glance I though that said IKEA.
An E-Mail I got today:
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) tipped the strategy
of Democrats when he suggested during an appearance on MSNBC,
that the public option is likely to re-emerge!
No. He can’t see anything he wants. And most would be suprised to know that neither can the Joint Chiefs of Staff see anything they want. If they were to be shown everything, they wouldn’t be able to concentrate on their job duties. The way I understand it, clearance is clearance and if you don’t have it then they ain’t tellin’ you…no matter who you are or what your job description is. There may…and I say may…be information that is simply to sensitive to tell individuals who come and go every 4 to 8 years.
“Oh right, you and the Mrs. just follow the vice president, we’ll take the kids.”
Tiger Woods opening statement tomorrow:”I do admit that at times I did stray off course, and though I always used the right club, I was, regrettably, playing the wrong holes, and for that, I am sorry.”
Question? when 2 senators, lets say senator A and B. Senator A writes a bill with senator B or A writes it while B co-sponsors that bill and B is seeking re-election…highly controversial senator. These senators are worlds apart on the party platform, A will not throw his support to B, is A not supporting C (B’s opponent in the re-election) by doing so, even though not coming out publicly in support?
This is similar to Sarah’s predicament is it not? Basic dishonest politics?
Jeez, ya gotta love these people…you know the ones leading our country. Leading a loosely used term in this case.
Listened to Marco Rubio’s speech today, as well as part of an interview with Gov. Christie. I’m impressed with them. I was especially impressed when Christie said that he was elected to “clean up this mess” and he was going to clean it up. My kind of governor. I hope Rubio wins this November, in Florida. He’s sounds like a senator we could use…99 more of.
Local Little Rock radio is at CPAC and the call-in phone bank is jammed with excited callers about what they are hearing. This November is going to look something like the mushroom clouds over Japan 60 years ago.
Rubio was spot-on! Not lacking anything.
Anybody seen our resident twerp?
This thread is just his speed for condemnation.
Such people come here to “feed”. Unfortunately, too many people here give them that opportunity. I tend to ignore them. Ignoring them leaves them empty and they move on to more willing sites. In other words, they delight in provoking people and some, here, love to be provoked.
“Anybody seen our resident twerp?”
Who?
From my politics blog: Israel refutes the obscene Goldstone report.
From my comics blog: “progressives” in the business can be quite a menace, but so can those whose politics don’t figure into the comics per se.
And, from my game blog: some tapings of Mahou Daisakusen (Sorcer Striker).
Hey, Tiger. Is that a putter in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Tiger Woods “Turning Japanese” Tiger pulls a Toyota. Wants to
apologize to those who would buy the products he would like to keep
endorsing.
The Vapor’s Turning Japanese.
