Friday's Rush Morning Update:
Dateline: 3 July 2009

"My friends, if you're driving, pull over. If you're standing, sit down.

Some of the financial institutions that took bailout money from the government want to pay back the TARP funds as soon as they can to get out from under Obama's thumb. In fact, the hurry to repay the money is so great that the government has already earned over $6 billion in so-called profits.

So you're probably thinking that the taxpayer will be getting some money back... and you would be wrong.

The Washington Post has an article where ... as the title claims... "A Pitch on Health Care To Virginia And Beyond - Obama Hears From Guests and Twitter"

Sounds fair enough... However, about two thirds of the way down the article... the next statement is made...

"The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence. "

Now isn't this a twist??

From the woman who stated "What else should a reporter be but a liberal?" And this isn't in the classic Jeffersonian sense... this is in the modern "hidden socialist" sense.

I'm wondering if she's reconsidering that statement, as well as decades of embracing an ideology that basically makes "tools" of the state out of unsuspecting people like Helen. I guess the Soviet/Kenyan Banana Republic/Chicago-style politics of the White House Socialists leaves a bad taste in Ms. Thomas' mouth. Well Madam, I hope you can realize what liberalism is... Could it be that Helen Thomas is finally seeing what Norman Thomas already knew?

I doubt it.. you can't teach an old dog new tricks... unfortunately...

Dateline: 2 July 2009

"Two liberal San Francisco politicians have set their sights on higher orifice. Mayor Gavin Nuisance is running for governor; District Attorney Kamala Harris wants to be the state attorney general.

Under Gavin Nuisance, San Francisco's status as a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants turned deadly when Edwin Ramos of El Salvador allegedly committed a triple murder, killing a man and his two sons following a traffic accident. Ramos already had numerous felony arrests, including attempted robbery and gang assault. But the Nuisance policies allowed him to roam free, avoiding deportation because he was "protected" by "sanctuary."

"Senator" Al Franken

"I wouldn't ordinarily say this but... is there any way you can get to a pound cake?" Lots of it... I have one thing to say to the sheeple of Minnesota... What the HECK WERE YOU THINKING?... or more to the point... you weren't apparently.

If there is anyone that puts an exclamation point on the descent into chaotic lunacy that has been brought about by Nazi Pelosi, Harry Reid, the minions at the DNC, as well as the ideological idiots in the Obama Administration, as well as all the Hopium addicts in this country that are about to get their Methadone cut off... it is Al Franken who is the last Senator that provides a Super-Majority for the Democrats.

Wednesday's Rush Morning Update:
Dateline: 1 July 2009

"Well, the ultra-liberals Tom Daschle and John Podesta are warning Republicans: you better not "overreach" in trying to shape health care policy -- or congressional Democrats will go it alone.

Daschle -- ex-Senate majority leader and well-known tax cheat -- says if Republicans won't cave, he wouldn't hesitate to use Senate rules to prevent them from filibustering health care legislation. Daschle and Podesta told reporters that Senate Republicans are making too many demands on Obama's health care takeover. Podesta said: "There is a point at which you have to move on." He wants Democrats to freeze Republicans out of the process and cram socialized medicine down our throats. Both men let it be known that they are in daily contact with Obama's inner circle, so we can infer this message comes from the top -- from the Bamster.

I've often wondered why Republicans do not support unions. As a Republican and a 30+ year union member, I see a vast untapped field of frustrated union members who only vote Democrat because the Dems support unions. It seems that some of that support is waning though and now, if they play their cards right, the GOP could move in and start to win over some of that support. After all, unions are not welfare, they're hard working Americans just trying to keep jobs here in America.

Tuesday's Rush Morning Update:
Dateline: 29 June 2009

"Last Friday the House of Representatives voted 219 to 212 in favor of the so-called "American Clean Energy and Security Act." If this thing passes the Senate, centuries of American progress will be reversed. Under this bill, our energy resources will be taxed so heavily and cut back so drastically, our status as the economic engine of the world will be destroyed.

On American land and coastlines lie vast deposits of coal, natural gas, and oil. Since colonial times, Americans innovators have used our resources to advance our prosperity. They've pioneered ways to efficiently produce that energy. But for decades, liberals have thwarted us from using our own abundant natural resources, making us dependent on nations that now use their wealth to threaten us. Liberals have demonized our own energy producers and have even blamed us for being greedy consumers. Now they are exacting their punishment.

"In 2004, a 17-year-old California driver chose to intentionally speed on a San Bernardino mountain road to see if her car would go airborne. She lost control of the car. Iit crashed, kiled two teenaged passengers and injured a third.

This week, a jury found the California Department of Transportation liable for over $6 million in damages because they "knew" the road was hazardous. The money will be paid to the parents of those killed and injured. Meanwhile, the 17-year-old who caused this tragedy pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter in juvenile court and served no jail time. California, though broke, won't appeal the verdict. Leaving taxpayers on the hook.

These two videos have come to light regarding Obama's "policy" on "Cap-and-Trade"

He mentions "Solar, Wind, and Bio-Diesel"... Solar and Wind power have not met the bloated promises that were made, in fact, Solar panels have a nominal efficiency hovering around 30%, this varies on the design of the panel itself, where more advanced models may be 40%. Efficiency is where the light received by the panel being 100% and only 30% is converted to electricity.

Wind power is no better in its efficiency... I recently read an article (found here: Wind Turbines and the Energy in Wind Many thanks to the engineer who wrote it.)
