Over Half USA States File

27 of 50 States Now Challenging Constitutionality of Obamacare in Court

I’d say that’s a sign. A really big sign. Question is:

Is SCOTUS, Federal courts, Congress and 1600 paying attention now? I mean, given that the House passed their bill to repeal Obamacare today, it would seem to me even if Sen. Reid STILL refuses to deal with this on the Senate side – there’s going to be hell to pay.

REPEAL !!!!!

Free Speech? Not In Philly

So much for conservative voices of Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Seems a Philadelphia radio station doesn’t want to be known having a “national” impact but just a “local” one. Too bad, Philly listeners. Guess your media source doesn’t want you to hear anything but their point of view.

Time to change the station on your radios.

UPDATE: Analog Hole Shredded

UPDATEx2: Well, time to eat some crow. After some more serious troubleshooting, the only remaining thing to try was to power off everything. Computer, satellite box, PVR, flatscreen and AV receiver. Switching back on after 10 full minutes brought everything fully functional again. I apologize to any I have offended, particularly DirecTV and/or Hauppage, the maker of the PVR.
At least I learned something more over the past couple days. Unfortunately, I cannot say for 100% certainty just where (in which electronics) the fault lay at the time – which is the answer I would have preferred to find. Maybe another time.

Since I have calmed down some, I have been troubleshooting as best I can for awhile this evening. I am not yet convinced if there is a hardware fault in either the receiver box component output or the component input to the HD PVR.
At that, I will be calling DirecTV tomorrow to find out if there is anything they can do to troubleshoot the receiver.

Until then, I will hold my tongue and at least apologize for my hasty post.

Frankly, I am more than just peeved about this. I promise I will keep my worst curses where no one can hear them.

For any readers here that are technically aware, the suppliers of HDTV signals have now switched off the component video connections. On Blu-Ray players and, as I found out just recently, DirecTV HD satellite receiver boxes …….

This means they have rendered my legally purchased hardware/software package (Hauppage HD PVR model 1212) useless.
$199 down the drain. Just because they can do it. Just to force us to purchase/lease their equipment. To make us pay subscription fees.

Okay, who do I send the bill to? DirecTV? Who?

Anybody else notice this happen to themselves? Speak up, please.

Ingratiating

Here’s a guest on the MSNBC Ed Show, a talk radio consultant Holland Cooke, to talk about the Rush Limbaugh billboard in Tucson – wondering if Loughner could have driven that highway, saw that billboard, and if it had an impact on his decision to …….

Well, you know.

And now I know, at last, just what MSNBC truly stands for:

Mostly
Stupid
Nitwits
Broadcasting
Crap

Promises versus Reality

We keep falling for it though. That is, not all of us, but some percentage most certainly do.

Since Barack Obama’s campaign ad, where he attacked the oil industry and promised 5 million new energy jobs, gasoline prices are now 55% more than they were since that ad.

And just to make sure you understand just how bad I feel about that you should know that my truck doesn’t use gas, but diesel. That is even more expensive now. Think what impact that has on the delivery of foodstuffs to the grocery store, and consumer goods to other stores.

Don’t forget now, BO also said, during his campaign, that “under my plan, energy costs would necessarily skyrocket.”

I just want to make sure you remember that.

Oh, and if you this is bad, just wait until oil by the barrel costs $100 and stays there (or goes even higher)!!!!

Oil at $100 and unemployment ~10 percent is bad news for Obama’s re-election hopes, of course. (It should go without saying that it is bad for America, too, and that I do not wish for economic suffering to be visited upon my fellow citizens in order to hamper the Obama administration.) But you know what’s even worse than $100 oil? $150 oil, which the CEO of Gulf says would not surprise him. There will be tremendous political pressure put on OPEC and the other producers if that happens. But why would OPEC want to bail us out? What is in it for them? Devalued U.S. dollars? If the Obama administration will not get behind a solid dollar for sound economic reasons, maybe narrow political self-interest will be enough.

Gone Too Far

Who knew the EPA could apply retroactive regulations?

How’s that Hope and Change helping you now?

Reasonable vs. Unreasonable

Okay, which is it?

Bill to ban crosshairs – Representative Bob Brady (Democrat) of Pennsylvania told The Caucus he plans to introduce a bill that would ban symbols like that now-infamous campaign crosshair map.

There is such a thing as the First Amendment you know, Bob. Can’t you at least wait awhile before opening your mouth and removing all doubt you don’t know what you are doing?

Reasonable people already know how to “tone down the rhetoric” – it’s the unreasonable people that do the things they do.

Don’t take your frustrations out on the rest of us.

Preserving History

It is important to know the facts.

Otherwise, you could be taken in – by a lie.

Isn’t that right, Daily KOS? And others.

Thank goodness for Hillbuzz.

And more. Lots more.

Hardly What I Would Call Christian

In fact, at this stage, I would rather Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church look to a different direction – down – and just … go there.

Phelps is planning to go to disrupt the funeral for that 9 year old girl that was killed in Arizona at the Congresswoman’s event. Hateful, just hateful.

I really don’t want to swear here. I’ll wait until after I am done typing this. Just imagine what I might say. Go ahead.

Imagine.

Manufacturing Blame

Utterly despicable:
Politico – ” …
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did. “They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers,” said the Democrat. “Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people.”

Another Democratic strategist said the similarity is that Tucson and Oklahoma City both “take place in a climate of bitter and virulent rhetoric against the government and Democrats.”

Cretins. They think they are going to pull the wool over our eyes. Guess again.
