New Book Explains A Lot

A brief description of Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon:

In Reckless Endangerment, Gretchen Morgenson, the star business columnist of The New York Times, exposes how the watchdogs who were supposed to protect the country from financial harm were actually complicit in the actions that finally blew up the American economy.

Drawing on previously untapped sources and building on original research from coauthor Joshua Rosner—who himself raised early warnings with the public and investors, and kept detailed records—Morgenson connects the dots that led to this fiasco.

Planned Parenthood UnPlugged

By a local NPR station in Los Angeles.

How about that.

Oh, off topic – a tad, guess who’s going to announce cuts in Medicare and Medicaid in his speech this week?
That’s right. Barack Obama.

Say thanks to the POTUS, parents and grandparents. Or not.

UPDATE: Manipulating Our Children

Are parents taking note?
Apparently a video announcement from the White House was made this week.
As if the indoctrination within most schools isn’t enough, how can anyone trust these programs?

Sounds like we need more home schooling instead.

UPDATE: Look who else is behind this.

Bring Atlas Shrugs Pt 1 to Baltimore

Here is the movie site. Movie currently scheduled to play April 15th.

Click on the DEMAND IT button right side of web page. It will bring up another page where you enter minimal information such as gender, year of birth and zip code. (Uncheck the checked box.) Then SUBMIT.

It’s that easy.

Incompatible

With us, the U.S. A., free society, freedom, responsibility, free enterprise, family, humanity, equal justice, Golden Rule, love of life, happiness, U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Rule of Law, self defense, The Almighty God. In no particular order.

Sharia Law. Ain’t no way, no how.

Getting a Real Education

If you were a union member, and your annual dues were doubled, would your union tell you how they were going to spend your money? …….. When you know they have financial problems?

And how would you react to that?

Well I say we should ask teachers, particularly those instructing mathematics tto the students, what they think the NEA (National Education Association) is doing by risking their futures this way.

UPDATEx9: Totally Irresponsible

For the POTUS to encourage the mindless activities by the unions in Madison, Wisconsin is absolutely and totally irresponsible for his official position.

Additionally, those Wisconsin legislature Democrats that ran and hid just demonstrated how immature they are by refusing to work.

Speaking of work, are these “teachers” that called out “sick” at home in bed? If not, they better not be paid for their “time off”.
And the affected students, where are they and what are they learning?
These aren’t snow days. Are they going to be made up? With no extra pay?

If I were a parent in Wisconsin, I could melt five miles of snow by the heat from my forehead. If there was any snow.

Let’s not forget the union leaders, who have “led” the members (aka, brainwashed) to this very precarious position.

UPDATE: Pelosi proud of Wisconsin Democrats leaving the state. She probably doesn’t care about Wisconsin’s misconduct in office statute either.

UPDATEx2: Oh, and possibly medical fraud to “support” the “sick” teacher walkout so they can NOT stay home (in bed). Instead, they walk into and around the state capital. As Michelle Malkin points this out, and has a photo describing the “come get a doctor’s note.” Reprehensible.

The missing Democrats are now on milk cartons.

UPDATEx3: About those doctor notes. Seems this should tell you something about how wrong this is on so many levels.

UPDATEx4: Additional video, although I doubt its worth myself.

UPDATEx5: Andrew Breitbart of Big Government, gets his doctor’s note. Excellent video. Walker pneumonia indeed.

UPDATEx6: So now it looks like riot police are ordered to clear out the protesters from the Capital building by 2am.

UPDATEx7: Far Left Loon issues death threat to Governor Walker.

UPDATEx8: I’d bet good money that, yeah, public trust is out the window. UW Health intends to find out. Let’s hope so.

UPDATEx9: BO’s Administration lies about being involved with the protests. Well, color me suspicious – not.

UPDATE: Speaking of Spending

I can’t, I just can’t – use a calculator anymore for these cost figures that are driven by the POTUS’ $3.73T budget released recently.

Here’s the breakdown and projections as explained (in summary) by HotAirPundit.

A recipe for disaster. Nothing else describes it.

“Live within our means”, BO? You should have had that mantra and worked it like you mean it – over two years ago.
You hypocrite.

UPDATE: By the way, BO, you remember saying this before, right? Going to halve the deficit? You know, cut the deficit by half its value? To do that required cuts, you know. So what happened to those cuts, BO?

Intolerant Zeros

A 7-year-old child allegedly shot a Nerf-style toy gun in his Hammonton, N.J., school Jan. 18. No one was hurt, but the 7 year old now faces misdemeanor criminal charges.

School officials alerted cops to investigate the incident which led to the police (with prodding, no doubt, by the school’s zero-tolerance policy by the – cough – administrators) charging the 7-year-old with possession of an imitation “firearm” in school – a misdemeanor and a minor juvenile offense in New Jersey.

I am still wondering just who are the idiots here. i count at least three, maybe four, could be more.

Oh, that “gun”? Something like a Nerf gun, that shoots soft ping pong balls. Oh yeah, real dangerous weapon there. Glad they called the cops. Wonder how many showed up and what their reports looked like.

The Skin Gun An Astounding Breakthrough

For burn victims. The story at Hot Air.

If you can stomach it, watch the video. I guarantee you will be impressed.

Spread the word on this as it can help many burn victims.
