To paraphrase the FAA, this is no way to run a railroad.
About 4,000 FAA employees are now furloughed without pay, according to the FAA, as the Senate on Friday failed to approve a controversial House-passed extension of taxes that help fund the FAA.
Way to go, Senate. Guess you had much more important things on your mind.

As explained by Don Surber, it would appear the POTUS has given up his throne to, gak, Harry Reid.
But the kicker is the explanation from Zero Hedge. This explanation tells us when we will actually be out of money. Or, rather – “… the money generating machinery won’t be in place on time.”
Yeah. Let’s be sure to watch this Chess game, or is it checkers? (King Me! Said Harry.)

Otis Rolley said he would, if elected, propose a $1 per bullet tax on all bullet purchases in the city. The idea was part of an overall crime plan he unveiled Tuesday.

Do you think this will send the criminals to surrounding territories beyond city limits?
Oh yeah. Totally dumb.

Apparently, Mr. Carney says that leadership doesn’t need to propose a plan.
Okay, so why is the White House waiting around for Congress then? They didn’t pass a budget for, what, two years now?? Is that leadership? I say, no. POTUS hasn’t offered a plan despite all his television appearances. Is that planning? If so, exactly what is he planning, hhhmmm?
There have been plans come from members of Congres in the recent budget/debt talks, sounds like some measure of leadership there, right?
I’ll let Jim Geraghty of NRO fill you in on the dialogue between Carney to Jake Tapper’s question.
It’s a doozy, and indicates Carney needs to go back to a school that teaches common sense.
UPDATE: Carney admits the WH has no plan. And then defends that position.
This would be funny if it wasn’t coming from federal officials. Yup. I’m not laughing.
UPDATEx2: Carney does it again when asked where is the President’s plan. I’d call this a circus, but how can it be when it is just one man giving these inane responses?

A fine speaker with a solid grasp of reality.
I really wish he hadn’t done that. But I guess he doesn’t care since he can’t run for Governor after his current term ends.
So be it.
You know, Martin, in 2006 all the Democrate US Senators voted against upping the debt ceiling. Were they trying to undermine the Presidency then, too?

=================================
House Committee Passes Amendment to Defund Illegal Obama Firearm Sales Reporting Requirement.
The Amendment was passed by a vote of 25-16.
The Rehberg Amendment, which was strongly supported by NRA, will defund the Justice Department’s controversial and illegal move requiring federally licensed firearms retailers in states bordering Mexico to report multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles.
Yesterday – Obama Administration Approves Illegal Multiple Sales Reporting Requirement
While the Rehberg Amendment is a critically important first step, it is imperative that you contact your U.S. Senators and ask them to cosponsor and support S. 570. You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the “Write Your Representatives” tool at www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. senators at (202) 224-3121. S. 570 currently has 29 cosponsors. To see if your senators are cosponsors, please click here.
