Values
...The theory was that great nations start out tough-minded and energetic. Toughness and energy lead to wealth and power. Wealth and power lead to affluence and luxury. Affluence and luxury lead to decadence, corruption and decline.
...Yet despite its amazing wealth, the United States has generally remained immune to this cycle. American living standards surpassed European living standards as early as 1740. But in the U.S., affluence did not lead to indulgence and decline.
That’s because despite the country’s notorious materialism, there has always been a countervailing stream of sound economic values. The early settlers believed in Calvinist restraint. The pioneers volunteered for brutal hardship during their treks out west. Waves of immigrant parents worked hard and practiced self-denial so their children could succeed. Government was limited and did not protect people from the consequences of their actions, thus enforcing discipline and restraint. ...
He’s got a point, there. But then....
A crusade for economic self-restraint would have to rearrange the current alliances and embrace policies like energy taxes ...
*sigh*
THIS is a problem?!?

Yet even among such dilettantes, the abruptness of Whitman’s conversion from businesswoman to politician stands out. Not only has the 2010 gubernatorial candidate never held office, but an analysis of her record by the Sacramento Bee showed that she hadn’t even registered to vote until she was 46 years old, and only became a Republican two years ago.

... it would be unrealistic to expect complete candor from any president about the costs and risks of extending health insurance to 30 million more Americans. If Obama can meet the truthfulness test applied by Huckleberry Finn to his creator Mark Twain—“There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth”—that would be good enough for me.
Sorry—not “good enough” for me.

“The main reason I’m here,” Obama said as he eased into his chair, “… I want to see that heart-shaped potato.”
... and he slipped it into his suit pocket.
...“We were afraid he might just toss it,”
From comments on this ...nooz story:
I agree it FEELS like Obama has left his progressive base and swung way right :(
...The shameful truth is that - a tiny 20% of white older religious fanatics(with usually a high school education tops) have high jacked the US Political system.
Which is why this is a ...nooz story.

As soon as Helmsley corporate management learned of the possibility of either the Iranian Mission or President Ahmadinejad holding a function at the New York Helmsley Hotel, they immediately ordered the cancellation of that function,” Rubenstein said.
“Neither the Iranian Mission nor President Ahmadinejad is welcome at any Helmsley facility. The Helmsley organization is grateful to United Against Nuclear Iran for bringing this matter to its attention so that appropriate action could be taken."
“Appropriate,” indeed.

MSM LSM State-Run Media MIA Media
While Charlie Gibson sails away from the day’s top stories, where’s the investigative reporting on this?
[A former fundraiser for ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich] Christopher Kelly, 51, died Saturday morning, hours after his girlfriend found him slumped over the steering wheel of his Cadillac Escalade in a lumberyard parking lot in Country Club Hills, a city just south of Chicago.
Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans said Kelly had set up a sleeping bag inside a rented trailer at the lumberyard and set out photos of his children before taking a suspected overdose. She said an unopened box of rat poison was found in the trailer, and someone later turned in empty containers of Tylenol and aspirin that had been removed from the scene.

Found 'em!
the 12 missing minutes
Remember that speech to the little children about staying in skool, washing their hands and eating their veggies? The one that the RWE redneck, clinger, terrorist paranoids so raaacistly thought might turn out to be fulla political mind-thoughts? [aside from the creepily Big Brother/Dear Leader quality?]
Bemember how it somehow turned out to be 12 minutes shorter than originally planned—after the study guides about letters to themselves pledging how students would "help Obama” [not “help the POTUS”: “help” OBAMA, hizownself, personally]
Yeah. That speech.
When critics lashed out at President Obama for scheduling a speech to public school students this month, accusing him of wanting to indoctrinate children to his politics, his advisers quickly scrubbed his planned comments for potentially problematic wording. They then reached out to progressive Web sites such as the Huffington Post, liberal bloggers and Democratic pundits to make their case to a friendly audience.
The controversy escalated, but by the time it was over, White House advisers thought they had emerged with the upper hand. The speech, they said, was the most-viewed live video on any government Web site in history, and they were pleased with the media coverage of the event.
Not so paranoid, hm? Just wait.
In private, Obama has developed what his advisers say is becoming a familiar response to new allegations, rolling his eyes in disbelief and asking how his staff plans to counter them. ...
But at a tactical level, administration officials are taking seriously the potential for damage and are attempting to respond forcefully. In early August, officials stepped up their efforts to link the “birther” movement ... to Republican leaders. ...
Obama publicly rejected the charge that he is maintaining an “enemies list,” raising the issue to dismiss it at a town hall meeting. ...
“In a world with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report and everything else that makes up the right-wing noise machine, nothing is clean and nothing is simple,” a senior administration official said. “You don’t stomp a story out. You ride the wave and try to steer it to safe water."
Aww—having to face what you did? How awful for you.
Although Obama does not pore over the conservative attacks himself, he is not oblivious to them, advisers said. ...sometimes after learning of them in e-mails from friends outside the White House, for example, or from ordinary voters at rallies. Little of it surprises him, aides said.
Well, it’s surprising many who voted for ya, Jugears.
...Rahm Emanuel .... “Father Coughlin called Roosevelt a socialist, the John Birch Society was created in reaction to Kennedy, Clinton had [Richard Mellon] Scaife and others who went after him,” he said. “And now they’ve come after Obama on Socialism and other things. This has always been a creed from those voices dealing with Democratic presidents. But yes, there’s an intensity, given the [rapid media] time frame we’re all under, that’s different."
Roosevelt was a socialist—and admired the fascist economic system, as well. Sounds like you’re losing control of Teh Narrative—and Teh Narrative Givers, Rahm…
Now, the challenge for Obama will be to maintain that stance without ceding ground to his most extreme critics, whom administration officials believe are trying to mount an existential threat to the president.
What’s that old phrase.... oh yeah: Turn about is fair play.

Hillary Clinton is allegedly considering a resignation of her position to run for the Democratic nomination for Governor of New York.
“I don’t think there’s a great deal of support for sending more troops to Afghanistan, in the country or in the Congress,” Pelosi said at a news conference.
