Thank You iW∅n!
swing low… AF-1
Is this what FREE Health Care gonna look like, too?
OR *clicky*clicky*
Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama Administration.
To qualify, ... a resident must make 50 percent less than the median area income, which would be less than $24,850 for single Detroit residents and less than $35,500 for a family of four.
No mortgage assistance will be available through this program.

here come the MSM
Here’s the Top Story Today!
...Bo, the presidential puppy, recently left a present on the presidential jet, they said, and a flight attendant had nearly stepped in it.
“You can imagine the horror on board when they discovered what it had done,” ... referring to Bo.
Rly? “Horror”?!? For dog poop?
A White House press official was certain—the scoop on the poop was a crock. The press office checked with the Air Force One flight crew who said Bo had not desecrated the jet.
Denial? Rly? Denial? “Desecrated”?!? Srsly??!?
Oh! *NOT* "Too Big to Fail"

Rumors, credible rumors, are beginning to circulate in the car industry and the automotive press, that Chrysler may not make it another year primarily due to its falling sales and growing financial losses at partner Fiat.

I'm not really a Doctor...
I just play one in the Rose Garden
rly?!?
... none of these media outlets mentioned that the White House had to hand out lab coats to a number of the doctors in attendance who showed up in business attire. Apparently trying to drive home the image of medical professionals applauding the President, the White House would not start the press conference until all of the doctors were dressed in the “spiffy" outfits, in the President’s words.
How does that “you’re just a prop for My image” taste, DonorDocs?

Whip-crackin'
Teh Come to Jebus Mess-iah Moment?
∏eh R∅∅kie [who w∅n] is the CinC - whether he likes it nor not. And whether or not it pleases those who believed that Hiz Hopeyness would Chaaange the very essence of Human Nature. [As yet] Majikkal Unicorns have not descended from Teh Hopey Clouds to decree All War is at An End, All Conflict Shall be Resolvable via Conflict Resolution and Those Who Want to “Wipe Other Nations Off The Face of the Earth” have Just had A Change of Heart.
*taps toe waiting*
Nope. Not yet.
Diplomacy’s three slipperiest words are “agreement in principle." Iran’s Ambassador to Britain exclaimed after the talks in Geneva, “No, no!” when asked if his country had agreed to ship LEU to Russia; it had “not been discussed yet.” An unnamed Iranian official said that the Geneva deal “is just based on principles. We have not agreed on any amount or any numbers.” Bargaining over the deal’s specifics could stretch out indefinitely.
...In fact, the agreement constitutes another in the long string of Iranian negotiating victories over the West.
...An unnamed Iranian official said that the Geneva deal “is just based on principles. We have not agreed on any amount or any numbers.” Bargaining over the deal’s specifics could stretch out indefinitely.
...The “agreement” undercuts Security Council resolutions forbidding Iranian uranium enrichment.
...Raising Iran’s LEU to higher enrichment levels is a step backwards.
...no “hard and fast deadline,” and “we don’t have like a drop-dead date.”

Like rly, Duu-uude?!?
Meanwhile the me-dia play poli-ticks with the personalities and McCrystal is summoned to a tarmac meeting—and called “naive” or “an upstart” [read: uppity].

Here they come again...
duck!
The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy [erm… we have a Constitutional Republic] expressed worry about whether the news industry’s financial woes will make for a less educated citizenry and considered whether the government should prop up independent journalists.
Like MSLSD? Cuz Breitbart, Malkin—even Koz et al—seem to be doing just fine....
he nation needs to give the same urgency to making sure all Americans have broadband access as the Eisenhower administration did in building an interstate highway system a half-century ago, a report released Friday concluded.
...The commission includes two former FCC chairmen, newspaper publishers, a top Google executive, the NAACP president and a former CNN president. It concluded that a free flow of information “is as vital to the healthy functioning of communities as clean air, safe streets, good schools and public health,” and that it’s time for leaders to give it a higher priority.
Diveeersity? and certainly no Conflict of Interest, there, eh?
The commission said independent journalism plays a vital watchdog role and wrestled with how to encourage it.
Leave it alone and let the Free Market work? Just an idea…
You have to have access in order to be socially first class, economically first class and politically first class,” said Alberto Ibarguen, former Miami Herald publisher and president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
“First Class?” WTH?!?
But the commission came to no consensus on whether private-sector journalists should get public subsidies, an idea that would test the historical tradition of journalists’ independence from government.
..."It’s difficult enough when I get the call from somebody in government complaining about the way we reported something,” [ABC News President David Westin, who was not on the commission] said. “But if the person himself who is getting the call is either directly or indirectly employed by government, that could be dangerous."
Thank you for that clear statement of the obvious—though I doubt the commission is capable of comprehending it.
