I Don’t Buy It

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans

Since when will this government hold to what it says about our privacy?

Ubiquitous? I don’t think so. More like GPS – it will mark your computer’s location, beyond that of your ISP’s IP address.

Gotcha.

Watch What You Ask For

Jonathan Alter. Newsweek.

“There is zero evidence” of corruption, he insisted. When fellow guest Tim Carney, a Washington Examiner columnist, disagreed, Alter demanded Carney produce evidence. So he did.

Now, forever on the internet.

Secret Ballots for Congressional Committee Votes?

This is not right nor good. This is non-representation at the highest level.

How dare they.

Repeal Obamacare Saves Money

So says the CBO in an updated analysis. $540 Billion over 10 years.

And – wait for it – repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It’s the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.

Heh heh. Yeah. Work it, Congress. 236-181.

Letter to DOJ

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Lamar Smith issues first DOJ oversight letterBy Jennifer Rubin

“little oversight” – indeed.

Don’t START With Me

Oh, but he did. POTUS decided to tell us we had to deal with nuclear issues with the Russians – and it had to be done now.

Have we been punked? By Russians? Or our own POTUS?

The State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) plans to confirm the link between the reduction of the strategic offensive arms and the restriction of antimissile defense systems’ deployment in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed between the US and Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs says.

Against It Before Being For It

Pres(id)ent Obama, back when he was but a Senator actually said he was against raising the debt limit (in 2006).

Four short years ago. So what’s changed, POTUS? Just how big a credit card balance owed must we have?

Hypocrisy (my definition) – having, cough, leaders telling us we consume in excess … turn around and spend excessively themselves. Moreso than past administrations have ever done.

Truly desstined for the history books. But, I have news for Congress and tthe POTUS – you are not going to like how the history books read.

Green Light Triples In Cost

The UK is just now finding out how much they are going to have to shell out when replacing their light bulbs.

Seems they banned incandescent light bulbs. This ban took effect the start of this year. They can’t buy (stock up) 100W bulbs now and won’t be able to get 60W bulbs starting next year. Which means the manufacturers of the newer, less power hungry compact florescent bulbs can likely drive wholesale prices upward.

Do you hear this, Fred Upton? I hope you maintain your “switched” position and undo your 3-year past legislation to ban such light bulbs here in the U.S.

The POTUS Is Restless

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.

(Found this in a comment in a post on Don Surbers blog. Unfortunately, can’t determine the original commenter for proper attribution.)

UPDATE: Which Homeland Security?

Seems that Jammit is investigating the security measures of the Afghanistan borders.

Wow. Hope she does just as good a job over there as she does over here. At Home. You know, home?

I guess this explains why we are still over there, huh? (Does Texas and Arizona know where she is??? Someone should tell them.)

UPDATE: Uh oh, somebody heard. And Arizona Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is most definitely not happy either.
