Joe Walsh: ‘If Rove Wants A Fight For The Soul Of The Republican Party, Bring It On’
Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) on Wednesday told TPM he is still talking to people and figuring out the necessary steps to create a super PAC to counter Karl Rove’s new group, the Conservative Victory Project. Rove’s super PAC aims to back disciplined candidates who can help Republicans win back a majority in the Senate, and to avoid nominating candidates like Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin, who got into hot water over comments about rape.
Walsh announced his plans to start a super PAC on Twitter Tuesday. In an email Wednesday, Walsh told TPM, “If Rove wants a fight for the soul of the Republican Party, bring it on.”

There are many reasons why no gay athlete has come out in the NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB, most of which are likely to go away with support and acceptance from the straight community. As leaders and even role models for millions of young people across the globe, professional athletes have the ability to fundamentally eliminate prejudice from our sport and live up to the incredible privilege we enjoy.

Idaho lawmaker’s bill forces students to pass ‘Atlas Shrugged’ test to graduate
The chairman of the Idaho Senate’s Education Committee says that he introduced a bill to require all students to read Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” because the book “made my son a Republican.”
State Sen. John Goedde (R) introduced the bill in committee on Tuesday to mandate that each student pass a test on the novel before they are able to graduate from high school, according to The Spokesman-Review.
But Goedde said that he filed the bill to make a point and does not plan on pushing the issue.
“It was a shot over their bow just to let them know that there’s another way to adopt high school graduation requirements,” Goedde said during the committee meeting. “I don’t intend to schedule a hearing on it.”

Well, looks like winter’s going to be making a comeback in the NYC metro area. Substantial snow in NYC metro (particularly N/W and then again up into New England). Courtesy of the NWS for NYC metro suburbs:
Eastern Passaic-western Bergen-Eastern Bergen-Western Essex-Southern Westchester-
401 pm est Wed Feb 6 2013…winter storm watch in effect from Friday afternoon through
Saturday afternoon…The national weather service in Upton has issued a winter storm watch…which is in effect from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
* locations…northeastern New Jersey and Southern Westchester.
* hazard types…heavy snow…sleet…and freezing rain.
* accumulations…snow accumulation of 6 to 12 inches…along
with up to a quarter of an inch of ice.
NYC should expect 6-10 inches. Which is about what we should be getting this time of year. Several times in fact. NYC metro has seen lower than normal precipitation, so this snow is needed (if not wanted by localities that were hoping to save some money by not dipping into their snow clearance budgets after getting whacked with Sandy costs).

Philly has a deflector shield or something for weather coming from the west or southwest. You can watch on radar while the precipitation rolls up and then either evaporates or splits around it north and south while still 20 miles or so to the west. And that’s after the outer defenses (Blue Mountain) shove everything to the northeast to hit Scranton.

If Congress had recently passed, and President Obama signed, legislation making it illegal for anyone over the age of 70 to receive a stent for treatment of heart blockages, you would think that is the sort of thing that might have made news and people would have heard something about it.
If such a law had been passed, you would think we’d be able to find at least one news story about is somewhere and it wouldn’t be the sort of thing we’d have to learn third-hand from someone like James Dobson, who claims to have heard this unconfirmed report from some unnamed physician, right?

OFFS. My dad just had a quadruple bypass. Before the decision was made to do that, he was scheduled to have TWO stents put into his arteries. He just turned 74. The doctor saw the blockages were more severe than he thought and so they stopped the angioplasty and rescheduled him for the bypass.
WTF is wrong with these idiots?

I’m downloading the Big Mozart Box for $0.99!
LOL! I haven’t tried that one, but I downloaded the “Darkest Music” collection for 99 cents, and it’s like everything ever done by any East European orchestra. I didn’t know that one could get 30 gigabytes of miscellaneous music for 99 cents, but hey, who’s complaining?
