Or, how not to get your point across.
Republican Sen. Lori Klein was showing off her raspberry-pink handgun when she aimed it at a journalist who was interviewing her in the lounge just outside the Senate chambers.
Get her out of her job. After taking away her tools.

A quote within the article:
“In other words, the economy is continuing to be worse, the Obama depression continues to explode,” he added.
Still think the economy is not tanking? Hhhmm, 1600?

These guys, specifically, signed on to a Bill HR 2411 – to have your employer (once you volunteer, of course) withhold a percentage of your salary for the purpose of reducing our nation’s debt. Now isn’t that – curmudgeonly of them?
From the Bill: Mr. CRAWFORD (for himself, Mr. TIBERI, Mr. FINCHER, Mr. LANDRY, Mr. DENHAM, Mr. DOLD, Mr. FLORES, Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas, Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia, Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan, Mr. PALAZZO, and Mr. GUINTA) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
At least I don’t see any names from Maryland here. And I had better not.

Not tax deductible, he says. Now isn’t that the icing on the – where’d the cake go?
One more thing, why these dolts feel the need to do this when people can already send monetary gifts to the Treasury is beyond me. Haven’t they enough real work to do?

Saving $4T over the next decade? Who’s kidding who here?
Finally, Boehner was convinced (by some) that isn’t a good deal.
At last. Somebody’s doing the math. How can there be common ground when the other side is trying to pull the rug out from under you (but make it sound good)?
(Pssst. BO wants $2T in tax hikes.)

Think Project Gunrunner was only about the southern border with Mexico?
If you are a law abiding, gun owning citizen of the United States, should you be concerned? Very concerned?

It seems there are serious questions about how much of their out-of-state expenses was paid and by who.
The 14 Democrat state senators that left Wisconsin so they would not do their jobs (thinking that was going to stop progress) may be in serious legal trouble because – where did their expense money come from and what happened to the rest of it?

This is not new news, but this article might have some new bits of information within.
For those that have watched Glenn Beck, the progressives are pushing to alter the Constitution to incorporate a Second Bill of Rights. These are not the unalienable, nature’s God given rights – but ones “determined” by people (notice I am not even saying ‘government’ at this point). This is dangerous beyond imagination. For rights determined by man, can be later taken away, by man. And that, rings the death knell.
It is vital they be named.
Cass Sunstein, Lisa Brown, Eric Holder – all (and likely far more) operate within the Soros-funded American Constitution Society. Ring a bell?
If progressives manage to bring this about, it will be the beginning of the end.
For they know not what they do.
Stand up and be counted. Never give up, never give in. Remember November 2012. Now, more than ever.

These are the best of times. For American CEOs apparently. According to NYT.
And yet:
“Pay skyrocketed last year because many companies brought back cash bonuses, says Aaron Boyd, head of research at Equilar. Cash bonuses, as opposed to those awarded in stock options, jumped by an astounding 38 percent, the final numbers show.”
However:
“And it’s not as if most workers are getting fat raises. The average American worker was taking home $752 a week in late 2010, up a mere 0.5 percent from a year earlier. After inflation, workers were actually making less.”
Just to turn on the way-back machine, how many folks out there remember this quote by the candidate Obama?
We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.” —on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010
And don’t forget, the POTUS himself is earning millions from his book(s) while in a $400,000 per year job.
Just to remind you where the earnings are.
Oh, and just to put things in even greater perspective, the White House now admits the so-called stimulus has cost us $278,000 per job.
