Mrs. Obama Serves Governors a 2,200 Calorie Meal
#letsmove #peoplespress #tcot #teaparty
As is usual in the Nanny State we now live in government officials and law makers feel they have the right to tell us what to eat and buy, tell us how to live, raise our children and how to act, what's good for the goose, is almost always not what's good for the gander. Look up the word hypocrit in the dictionary these days and you'll see a picture of any number of government officials including the FLOTUS. If it's not Nancy Pelosi preaching about carbon footprints from her private jet it's Michell Obama telling us we are all fat and serving high fat, high calorie meals to all her friends.
She has every right to eat whatever she wants....but so do I without her interference. No she has not passed any laws yet (but there are some on the books for sure) but the government has no right to even be thinking about what we eat...not their yob.
From WHITE HOUSE DOSSIER; First Lady Michelle Obama Sunday night stuffed about 2,200 calories worth of dinner into the nation’s governors, hosting a White House bash that pulled few punches on the fattening front despite her profile as the leader of a national crusade to trim the waistlines of the country’s youth.
President Obama is meeting with governors from both Parties at the White House today. Sunday night’s dinner was a kind of welcoming gala. It provided enough calories for an entire day’s worth of eating.
What’s worse, several governors clearly are not malnourished and might have done well without dinner altogether. READ THE REST

Jack Daniels Explains The Deficit
#tcot #teaparty #congress #spendingcuts
Most of us who have a few miles on have seen these scare tactics before but perhaps those of you new to the tools Democrats use to discourage cuts in spending, or even the cuts in the increase in spending need be educated.
This explanation gives new meaning to spending like Drunken Sailors. ....although as a former drunken sailor myself, I'd say that's not fair either since I stopped drinking

Iran sends warships through Suez, raising the tension even higher
#iran #religionofpeace #tcot #teaparty
The Iranians warships are heading through the Suez Canal to dock for a year in Syria it appears and, according to Israel it's just to provoke them into a confrontation. Obviously, the Iranians have no problem poking a bear with a big stick.
Western Intelligence officials are saying the warships deployed in the Red Sea might be in involved in supplying radical Islamic groups from Yemen with weapons which seems like something they'd do. Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari, who is an Iranian navy commander, told Fars news agency his country will maintain a powerful and permanent presence in to protect Iran's interests in the "strategic waters north of the Indian Ocean."
Good luck with that!
For some reason Iran just loves to provoke and anger people and has been doing it for years. READ THE REST AT YAHOO NEWS

Wadhams resigns, takes parting shots
"I have tired of those who are obsessed with seeing conspiracies around every corner and who have terribly misguided notions of what the role of the state party is while saying “uniting conservatives” is all that is needed to win competitive races across the state.
#peoplespress #redco #tcot
I have no delusions this will recede after the state central committee meeting in March. Meanwhile, the ability of Colorado Republicans to win and retain the votes of hundreds of thousands of unaffiliated swing voters in 2012 will be severely undermined."
Although I am a member of the People's Press Collective in Colorado, I am not as up on state politics as I should be. I follow national politics and comment on military news as my forte since that is what I know best, so if I misspeak or don't understand this quite right, please fill me in.
Wadhams had some good history moving our country and Colorado in the right direction, but he misses the mark on a lot too, he is right to conclude that it is time.
One wonders just who Wadhams is taking shots at, but you can certainly guess by the way he frames it. Is it the new move toward more Libertarian roots that he rejects? Or is it the establishment Republicans consistant ideals that catering to progressive Republicans is the only way to reach out to the "independent voters"? It is a fine line politicians must walk, but I am tired of politicians trying to make everyone happy, to do that you have to leave your principles by the wayside. If he is quitting because we've gotten too conservative for him, that is too bad but...good riddance.
Dick Wadhams helped John Thune upset Tom Daschle in 2004. He managed successful campaigns for Sen. Wayne Allard and Gov. Bill Owens in Colorado, and Conrad Burns in Montana. In 2005, Slate dubbed him Karl Rove's "heir apparent."
Since then, I see a string of failures. Wadhams served as chief of staff and campaign manager for George Allen, who went down in flames.
In 2008, he managed Bob Schafer's Senate run in Colorado, he lost. While also serving as the state's GOP party chair. The state went to Obama.
To be fair, recent Republican victories in Colorado have been numerous too. But from what Dick seems to be saying this week, he doesn't like the direction the party has moved. Although I am not sure what conspiracies he is talking about. I'd like him to expound on that a bit.
If being too conservative, too married to our principles loses us seats.... so be it as far as I am concerned. I am somewhat realistic, I know you can't have the whole thing all at once, but we need to do just what we are doing now, moving to support the constitution, fight the Fed where it's out of bounds, spending within our limits...and if he did not like that direction...see ya. If he thought recognizing those things was conspiratorial, if he thinks there are not enemies of this Republic working within our government to move us towards socialism, damn the consequences, then he is wrong.
Joshua Sharf takes a more level-headed view of it than I do. Read his take at Red County.

American Airlines may have won me back
Last year I had a terrible experience with AA and wrote that I would never choose to fly them again. I really peeved some AA employees off in my post (you can read their comments) but I stuck by my guns...apart from a commenter on my site, no one seemed to care about customer service at AA early last year.
Flying on the government's dime you don't get a choice so I was disappointed to learn that I would be flying AA for my recent trip.
They surprised me however with great customer service, above and beyond, with on time flights and friendly people...the opposite of my first experience. They even sent me a survey about my experience a few days later and I gave them high marks.
Well done AA, its all about your customers, we want you to succeed.

Google Declares War on the Egyptian Government
#egypt #teaparty #peoplespress #tcot
Like many people we’ve been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground. Over the weekend we came up with the idea of a speak-to-tweet service—the ability for anyone to tweet using just a voice connection.
We worked with a small team of engineers from Twitter, Google and SayNow, a company we acquired last week, to make this idea a reality. It’s already live and anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet.
We hope that this will go some way to helping people in Egypt stay connected at this very difficult time. Our thoughts are with everyone there.
Posted by Ujjwal Singh, CoFounder of SayNow and AbdelKarim Mardini, Product Manager, Middle East & North Africa
We must think clearly about what we are seeing here
