Did you know that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that 500 million people are losing jobs in America every month?

Stimulus Backers Face Growing Skepticism Over Need for Government Action
A Gallup poll out Tuesday showed that a majority of Americans want Congress to either reject or make "major changes" to the economic stimulus package on Capitol Hill.The poll, conducted from Friday through Sunday, found that 75 percent of Americans want Congress to pass some version of the plan. But the survey reflected deepening doubts about the effectiveness of the programs and spending items currently being considered by federal lawmakers. Only 38 percent of those polled favored the existing stimulus proposal, down from a slight majority holding that view in the Jan. 28 Gallup survey.
Thirty-seven percent want major changes and 17 percent reject the plan outright.

As I said on a different thread about this remark by Nancy, she is so used to being allowed to ''revise and extend her remarks,'' then have her staff do it for her, that she probably forgot it was a news conference instead of on the House floor.
If Gouthier's (sp? whocares?) tax woes aren't enough to bother keeping him from heading the IRS what problem is this little remark by one of hundreds in the House?

Yes, that does explain where they think all that tax money will come from. Probably from the elventykillion taxpayers still barely holding onto their jobs.

Botox May Move From Face to Brain, Study in Rats Says
April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Botulinum neurotoxin type A, sold as Allergan Inc.'s Botox remedy for wrinkles, can move from its injection site to the brain, a study shows.
Scientists injected rats' whisker muscles with botulism toxin. Tests of the rodents' brain tissue found that botulism had been transported to the brain stems, the researchers said in the Journal of Neuroscience published April 2.
...
Botulism neurotoxin can disrupt nerve cells' ability to communicate and may change spinal cord circuitry, the authors wrote in the study.Rodents, Not Humans
Mouse and rat physiology is different from that of humans, so the results may not predict what happens in people, Avram said. He wasn't involved in the study.

Someone answered above - evidently the line of succession is determined by when the cabinet department was formed.
That explains a lot.
I didn't see that, but according to Wiki (I know, not always the best source), the current succession is based on:
Presidential Succession Act of 1947
The section after discussing President Pro Tem reads:
(d)
(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is no President pro tempore to act as President under subsection (b) of this section, then the officer of the United States who is highest on the following list, and who is not under disability to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President shall act as President: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Secretary of Homeland Security.

re: #213 Outrider
#4 Secretary of State. How was that supposed to have worked when Henry Kissinger was our SoS?
He was ineligible, as was Madeline Albright.
Whether or not they possess presidential attributes, the total number of statutory presidential successors is, at most, sixteen - the Speaker of the House, the President pro tempore of the Senate, and the fourteen members of the cabinet. At any given moment, this number might be reduced by vacancies in these offices, the "inability" of the officers to act, or the ineligibility of some of these officers to assume presidential duties. An example of cabinet officers who are unable to act are those absent from Washington and unable to effectively communicate with Washington, as when several members of John Kennedy's cabinet were on board a jet over the Pacific en route to Japan on November 22, 1963. Cabinets not infrequently contain naturalized citizens who are ineligible to discharge presidential duties (e.g., Henry Kissinger in the Nixon and Ford Administrations, Madeleine Albright in the Clinton Administration, and Elaine Chao and Mel Martinez in the current Administration), which may further reduce the pool of potential statutory successors.

Speaking of amusing youtube videos, here is one of Mark Haines of CNBC completely blowing up"clueless" claims made by Arianna Huffington.
Ok, do you know what the most interesting thing about that video is? It's the fact that the female newscaster looked genuinely shocked that someone would question an opinion.
What in the hell has people come to if the reaction to serious debate is one of incredulous indignation (try to say that fast 3 times)?
Even if you consider yourself the best of a conservative, you can be infected with the same PC crap that the left has been inculcating into you for 20 or 30 years.
I see it all the time. It's not being polite, it's not being sensitive, it's being infected with PC, slowly but surely, in such a way that we don't even see it happening to us.
This video is a perfect example of what I am saying. Welcome to the Monkey House.

There's the Bill Ayers who launched Obama's career and got him a job, and then there's the one who was just a guy in the neighborhood.

Arianna! Oh, I can do the LGF equivalent of a double word score here - idiotarianism and creationism in one fell swoop. I once saw Huffington on the old "Politically Incorrect" television show. The topic of "animal rights" came up. Arianna chimed in that of course we have dominion to do whatever we want with animals, because it's clear in Genesis that God created Adam and Eve first, and then the animals later.
So; not only is she a creationist, but her biblical scholarship sucks.
Of similar entertainment value is reading the comments by the assembly of losers, drug addicts, anti-Semites, and the generally brain scrambled posters she has on her website posting comments defending her wacked out ravings.
Take a good look at the stock prices for Citigroup, B of A and so forth Arianna, The stockholders equity has been all but wiped out.
The bank deal is not about propping up the equity holders, they are toast. it's about trying to get the banking system functioning normally again.

Payroll employment fell by 524,000 over the month and by 1.9 million over the last 4 months of 2008. In December, job losses were large and widespread across most major industry sectors.

OT-from the Onion
WASHINGTON—Following Barack Obama's appointment to his cabinet of several veteran Clinton administration officials and a number of others with extensive backgrounds in their respective fields, former left-wing supporters of the new president expressed shock and outrage at the combined experience and competence of his choices.
"What we want in a cabinet is the same thing we want in a president: people who spout rhetoric about universal health care, say they were against the war from the start, and have absolutely no experience implementing any policies," influential liberal blogger Chris Bowers wrote in a post criticizing the nomination of former deputy attorney general Eric Holder for attorney general. "As we sink deeper into a global economic recession and fight the battle against climate change, it is imperative that Obama nominate people who have no idea how to wield power in our massive federal bureaucracy." Bowers added that liberal Democrats would be comforted if Obama at least changed his mind and decided to name the 34-year-old Bowers or a blogger from Daily Kos secretary of homeland security.

I never said they did hate McCain. They were simply de-motivated and tired of being bullshitted by their government. God bless John McCain, but he wasn't a motivator. Conservative voters were/ are disenfranchised.
What's so hard about that to understand? Do I need to explain to you how much the Republican party shit on conservatives for 8 years?
Ok not "hated" but show me there were 9 million disgruntled conservatives. McCain lost because 9 million more people voted for O. Don't blame the loss on an ephemeral 'disenfrancised conservative voters' numbering 9 million who didn't vote.

India warns Obama over Kashmir
India has warned US President Barack Obama that he risks “barking up the wrong tree” if he seeks to broker a settlement between Pakistan and India over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
MK Narayanan, India’s national security advisor, said that the new US administration was in danger of dredging up out of date Clinton administration-era strategies in a bid to bring about improved ties between the two nuclear armed neighbours.
“I do think that we could make President Obama understand, if he does nurse any such view, that he is barking up the wrong tree. I think Kashmir today has become one of the quieter and safer places in this part of the world,” Mr Narayanan said in an interview with CNBC TV18.
“It’s possible that at this time there are elements, perhaps in the administration who are harking back to the pre-2000 era.”
There is no problem, no matter how small, the One cannot take on and make much worse. Hope 'n' change!

There's a contra-theory that notes that once you go below a certain level of nuclear weapons, it actually becomes even more destabilizing, because a first strike has the ability to destroy the other nation's capabilities without the massive damage of a full-on exchange.
Throw in problems with an aging inventory,and you add additional complexity to the mess.
The aging inventory is one reason to actually consider reducing the inventory, but through recycling the warheads into new weapons, not destroying them altogether. The new supercomputers being touted by the DOE and news reports yesterday are going to be used to test our nuclear capabilities and ensure that the warheads will work as configured. Shutting down some of the warheads might save some money, but it may be the penny wise, pound foolish category.

Geeze, the man and his Treasury secretary Andrew Mellon only reversed a potentially deep recession and gave us the Roaring Twenties for cryin' out loud. Harding and Coolidge get bad raps only because the left adores FDR and had to make the previous presidents look bad. It was Wilson's policies that led to recession, Hoover's signing of Smoot-Hawley and policies that got us into the Depression, and FDR that kept us there while he experimented and tinkered with our economy.

re: #622 lawhawk
One of the probelems with the warheads is the radioactive decay of the nuclear material in the warheads. If the isotope mix changes too much they might not work as expected. The solution is to take the material out, reprocess it, add some fresh stuff, and put the warheads back together. At the same time, a lot of the electro-mechanical compopnensts may have deteriorated and should be replaced. Obama's peace-camp would rather just scrap the weapons and are using this as an excuse to let physics do the job for them.

I took a walk near the White House today, and saw a couple of protester-youth looking types with what looked to be a large sign. I was approaching from behind, so couldn't see what it was, but thought, wow! Obama's getting protesters already!
Nope. It was a hagiographic painting of The One's face, and they were inviting passers-by to sign it.
I considered accepting, and then writing DANGEROUSLY UNQUALIFIED on the forehead, but thought better of it.

re: #585 Cato the Elder
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev were this close to massive cuts in all nukes in 1985 at Reykjavik. Reagan himself was for banning all nuclear missiles.
There will never be "no nukes". But we and Russia could sure get by with a lot less of them. How may times do we need to be able to make the rubble bounce?
Reagan walked "Nyet" when Gorgy inisisted that "Star Wars" be put on the table.
The change in the MAD equation was missile defense. Cut nukes to a small enough number without a defense and it start to make sense for a NorKo or Iran to think about a strike.
Missile defense and cuts makes sense, cutting both does not.

re: #622 lawhawk
The aging inventory is one reason to actually consider reducing the inventory, but through recycling the warheads into new weapons, not destroying them altogether.
While serving under former President George W. Bush, Gates had repeatedly called for the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program to be put into operation, because the nation's current nukes — mostly produced in the 1970s and '80s — are growing so old that their destructive power may be in question.
. . .
But Obama doesn't buy that logic. Shortly after taking the oath of office on Tuesday, he turned what had been a campaign promise into an official presidential commitment: the new Administration "will stop the development of new nuclear weapons," the White House declared flatly on its website, with no equivocation, asterisks or caveats.

Which is Smarter: Nancy Pelosi or everything else in the universe not named "Nancy Pelosi"?
the answer? Everything else.
500 million jobs.... what a dunce. If W had said that... well, it would have been ugly.

The Republicans, both in Congress and in the Senate, know that this suicidal bailout bill is just evil, in that it is supposed to be designed to help the economy with *shovel ready* programs, when in fact, it is nothing but pay-offs to Dem cronies.
These Republicans are too busy thinking about what will advance their careers than thinking about how to stand up to this blight in DC.

Causes of Citizenship Loss
U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. These acts include:
Obtaining naturalization in a foreign state;
Taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions;
Entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state;
Accepting employment with a foreign government if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) a declaration of allegiance is required in accepting the position;
Formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. consular officer outside the United States;
Formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the U.S. (but only "in time of war");
Conviction for an act of treason.

A book I read on the hunt for bin Laden (called, oddly enough, The Hunt for Bin Laden), describes a Special Forces team stumbling across a village of Liberace-type homosexuals - they were all wearing make-up, they had rhinestone studded rifles & cars. The author quotes some of the SF men as saying that was the most scared they ever were in Afghanistan!
Not to get all overly pedantic about a funny anecdote, but are we all clear that the makeup and rhinestones don't "prove" these Afghanis like cock, any more than Lincoln's purported homosexuality is "proven" by the fact that he and Joshua Speed slept under the same quilt on the same mattress for four years when they were both young and broke?

Causes of Citizenship Loss
U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. These acts include:Obtaining naturalization in a foreign state;
Entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state;Source: [Link: hamilton.usconsulate.gov...]
Basically, as long as they are serving in Israel as grunts, US citizens can be part of the IDF. They can (and have) served in the UK(many US men went to Canada pre-US involvement and joined up with the Kanuks), France, Israel, Norway, with partisans during WWI and WWII.
The US also allows foreign citizens the ability of joining the US military as a fast track to US Citizenship.

UN says Hamas stole aid intended for Gazans
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides assistance to Palestinian refugees, said Wednesday that the Hamas police force in Gaza had seized aid supplies intended for the desperately needy from a distribution store in a Gaza refugee camp, signaling tensions between the agency and the Islamic rulers of the Palestinian enclave.
The UN agency said it condemned the Hamas action "in the strongest terms."
On Tuesday afternoon, the agency said in a statement, the police confiscated about 3,500 blankets and more than 400 food parcels meant to help hundreds of families in the Gaza City Beach Camp. It was part of the emergency aid being distributed after Israel's 22-day military offensive in Gaza that ended Jan. 18.
According to the statement, the incident took place "after Unrwa staff had earlier refused to hand over the aid supplies to the Hamas-run Ministry of Social Affairs. The police subsequently broke into the warehouse and seized the aid by force."
Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the refugee agency, said it was the first time its supplies had been seized in such a way. He added: "They were armed and we were not."

CNN is having a love-fest over CHIPS, the child-health insurance plan Obama just signed. Wolf said the plan will cost 35 billion and will insure 6 million children. That's a cost of $5800 per child. I just went online and the most expensive Kaiser-Permanente plan w/ no deductible and a $30 copay costs $1896 per year. So even if the gov't pays co-pays for 20 copays per child yearly which is a very high average for all kids at the cost of $600, you are at $2500 per child. As all government programs this is freakin' expensive!
However Obama is on the tv patting himself on the back for caring so much for kids, as long as it is with my tax dollars.

'No need to probe Hamas because its war crimes are so blatant'
"It makes it quite easy regarding Hamas. It is quite clear that they are attacking and targeting civilians. When someone straps a bomb on themselves or fire missiles at civilians, the details are less important. It is clearly a war crime without even looking at the details," she said. "Even if they fired a Kassam missile as a military target, the fact that it is an inaccurate weapon, it would still count as an indiscriminate attack.."
"With Israel things are more complicated because Israel states it does not deliberately target civilians and that it safeguards them. With Israel, you have to investigate each specific incident because even if a civilian is killed in an attack, it doesn't mean its necessarily a war crime. Targeting civilians is a war crime, but the damage to civilians in a given situation isn't indicative of a war crime."
"The Israeli authorities deny everything, so one has to prove what happened in a way that you don't need to do with the Palestinian rockets," said Donatella Rovera of Amnesty International.

CNN is having a love-fest over CHIPS, the child-health insurance plan Obama just signed. Wolf said the plan will cost 35 billion and will insure 6 million children. That's a cost of $5800 per child. I just went online and the most expensive Kaiser-Permanente plan w/ no deductible and a $30 copay costs $1896 per year. So even if the gov't pays co-pays for 20 copays per child yearly which is a very high average for all kids at the cost of $600, you are at $2500 per child. As all government programs this is freakin' expensive!
However Obama is on the tv patting himself on the back for caring so much for kids, as long as it is with my tax dollars.
As he said, it's a 'down payment'. That's Democrat for "camel's nose under the tent". Full-on socialized medicine will be the next step.

President Obama will convene the most ambitious arms reduction talks with Russia for a generation, aiming to slash each country’s stockpile of nuclear weapons by 80 per cent.
President Obama seeks Russia deal to slash nuclear weapons
The radical treaty would cut the number of nuclear warheads to 1,000 each, The Times has learnt. Key to the initiative is a review of the Bush Administration’s plan for a US missile defence shield in Eastern Europe, a project fiercely opposed by Moscow.Mr Obama is to establish a non-proliferation office at the White House to oversee the talks, expected to be headed by Gary Samore, a non-proliferation negotiator in the Clinton Administration. The talks will be driven by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
No final decision on the defence shield has been taken by Mr Obama. Yet merely delaying the placement of US missiles in Poland and a radar station in the Czech Republic — which if deployed would cost the US $4 billion annually — removes what has been a major impediment to Russian co-operation on arms reduction.
Good comment on that report:
Please, do not give Obama credit for Bush's monumental achievement. Before the 2002 Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, the U.S. held over 12,000 warheads. Under Bush, that stockpile was reduced by between 9,600 & 10,500 warheads (or 81.6% to 87.5%). Obama's proposal is only another 500 to 1,200.

Cooper was one of 11 Dems to vote no -- joining every GOP House member.
"Well, I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I actually got some quiet encouragement from the Obama folks for what I’m doing," said Cooper, one of about 55 House Democrats to sign a letter criticizing Speaker Nancy Pelosi for suspending normal debate and committee rules on the $819 billion package.

The real point here is that capping executive compensation only makes sense if the executive is worth less than the cap in the labor market. If the executive is worth more than the cap, he'll simply leave the company subject to the cap, and take a more lucrative job elsewhere. That's why Obama's "outrage" and "moral indignation" is bogus. In the private sector, there is a labor market that competes for talent. In government, there isn't. Obama is treating these people like government employees. He'd do better to give them performance incentives linked to their pay, but as a bureaucrat and "community organizer", he doesn't understand the concept.

A little context:
Cramer, appearing on MSNBC’s Feb. 2 “Morning Joe,” drew comparisons between remarks between the first head of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Lenin, and Obama. Obama criticized Wall Street’s moneymaking on Jan. 30, when he said there would be a time “for them to make profits, and there will be time for them to get bonuses. Now’s not that time. And that’s a message that I intend to send directly to them.”
Cramer said that was similar to Lenin’s writings. “Let me tell you something, we heard Lenin,” Cramer said. “There was a little snippet last week that was, ‘Now is not the time for profits.’ Look - in Lenin’s book, ‘What Is to Be Done?’ is simple text of what I always though was for the communists, it was remarkable to hear very similar language from ‘What Is to Be Done?’ which is we have no place for profits.”

Anything that government does to business has bad unintended consequences. Fore example, Sarbanes-Ox made it too expensive to start new businesses, or take the community Reinvestment act enabled the sub-prime loan fiasco.
This will be the same. In 2 years, when the 10-15% inflation kicks in, any of these banks that survived will have a mass exodus of talent.

Cooper was one of 11 Dems to vote no -- joining every GOP House member.
"Well, I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I actually got some quiet encouragement from the Obama folks for what I’m doing," said Cooper, one of about 55 House Democrats to sign a letter criticizing Speaker Nancy Pelosi for suspending normal debate and committee rules on the $819 billion package.

Jim Cooper was an early Obama supporter, for which Hillary directly and publicly threatened him. Obama won't be able to control Congress by use of congressional proxies like Cooper, however. He'll have to directly tell the congressional leadership that they've gone too far, and propose major reductions in this bill. Failing that, he'll have to threaten a veto.
That means taking direct personal responsibility. It's called leadership. Is President "Vote Present" Obama up to it? We'll see.

re: #1042 quickjustice
And I don't like the idea of your making whatever measly salary you make either, but it's none of my business! ;-)
The real point here is that capping executive compensation only makes sense if the executive is worth less than the cap in the labor market. If the executive is worth more than the cap, he'll simply leave the company subject to the cap, and take a more lucrative job elsewhere. That's why Obama's "outrage" and "moral indignation" is bogus. In the private sector, there is a labor market that competes for talent. In government, there isn't. Obama is treating these people like government employees. He'd do better to give them performance incentives linked to their pay, but as a bureaucrat and "community organizer", he doesn't understand the concept.
I do not believe that market forces are at all involved today in executive compensation. I don't believe any single human is worth what these execs are sucking from their companies, it is an outrage, and theft from every stockholder and employee and the public at large. Not to mention the inflated egos it causes, which one might just blame for much of the current collapse. Go ahead, pull my string, ask me what I reallly think about this!
OTOH, Obama's outrage was so patently goofy this morning. "... it's bad strategy, and I won't stand for it." Where in the constitution does it say the president is in charge of business strategy? Sheesh.
Almost as good as, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the essential." What a pseudo-intellectual poof this guy is. I wonder how long before the public takes an intense dislike to him. Hey, Mr. President, try hiring a speechwriter, a pro who knows what he's doing. Sheesh again.
Somebody remind me, how did this guy get nto office?

Bogus Lancet Study Debunked, Again
In other words, the author of the Lancet study simply made up numbers and lied about it.
Maybe the Lancet was also the one counting the job losses for Nancy.

re: #1095 BruxellesBlog
That's the problem. This original Lancet study on IRaqi civilian deaths was published in 2004, just weeks before the election. The numbers were obviously bogus then, but the msm media took them & repeated them everywhere. A follow up study in 2006 repeated & exagerrated the orginal bogus report. Again the media ran with them. The fake numbers for the Iraqi civilian death toll ("over 1 million killed!") have become "common knowledge" among the msm, Democrats and even the general public. The Big Lie worked again.

This organization maintains a very accurate count of the numebr of Iraqi civilian casualties.
The current count is between 90,500 and 98,850. This 1/10th the number quoted by the Lancet study. Also important to note is who killed the Iraqi civilians. Look at the tables of data and you will find the vast majority of the Iraqi civilians were killed by the terrorists, militias & criminal gangs. US and coalition forces are responsible for less than 10% of the total civilian deaths.

A Fuzzie Wuzzie Soap dish or just a regular libtard variety?
It's very hard call, they both leave a scummy residue wherever they go and it's best not to take either out in public. But I have to say that soap is smarter than Peelousy, because its never betrayed the country or our armed forces.

Mark Steyn did the math on Rush's show today.
That means in one year over 6 billion Americans will be out of work, and by the end of The One's only term over 24 Billion Americans will be jobless.
If you count the illegals, over 100 Billion will be out of work by 2012.

re: #843 Throbert McGee
Not to get all overly pedantic about a funny anecdote, but are we all clear that the makeup and rhinestones don't "prove" these Afghanis like cock, any more than Lincoln's purported homosexuality is "proven" by the fact that he and Joshua Speed slept under the same quilt on the same mattress for four years when they were both young and broke? (Which was an entirely unremarkable thing for heterosexual men to do in mid-19th-century America.)
the eye make-up "surme" is a mineral concoction that keeps flys from laying their eggs in your tear ducts. if you have been to Central Asia the flies are horrible, and hard to just swipe away.
Sparkly is fun for everyone in that region. man and woman alike. Have you ever seen what their commercial trucks look like? i am afraid and high heel shoes, and sandals are sort of the thing everyone wears, and high heel boots even.
that said. Pederasty is widespread. And when the higher ranking guys bouys get too old to be "pretty" they promote them to their leiutenants and use them in their war bands. "Serdar" is what they call this guy and translates roughly to "chief." I believe an Onbashar is a guy who commands a ten man raiding party.
Now that's Turkmen language (what i know.) not strictly Pashtun but they mix like different latino people in central america will. And if you have seen how well Mexicans and Guatemalans get along... well, its just about the same. Pashtuns coming out on top.
women are animals for breeding and chores, dowry and such. Men are for your serious life long friendships. The language reflects that as well.

A more accurate question would have been, "Which is MORE USEFUL...."
The smartest person can be of little use to a society. Even the most uneducated person can be a benefit to the same society. I guess you could also ask, "Which one would you want in your house?"
As far as the 500,000,000 jobs a month lost, if you factor in the illegals leaving the USA and going back home to Mexico, that might be more accurate than I first thought. She would have that information.
