Oh, that’s just kind of sad. 
Hey! Who you callin’ a ho? :dubious:
In their zeal to embarrass Obama, GOPers reveal the location of a CIA base in Libya
On CSPAN, no less.
And - they keep finding them.
Some girls rape easy
Remember Mia Love? She’s the mayor of a small town in Utah who was unexplicably (not really) given a prime time speaking slot at the Republican Convention, and hailed as a rising star in the party. As it turns out, she is one of the people Republicans hate the most, an anchor baby.
It’ll be interesting to see how high this “star” rises now.
This is in the Deseret News, the Mormon Church’s in-house newspaper.
To be fair, the Libyans had already* found* the base. They just didn’t know it was a CIA base.
From the party that never met a regulation they wouldn’t call a job-killer.
Anyone who knows about medical products regulation in the U.S., or even followed the User Fee Re-authorization bill this summer, will appreciate how ridiculous Bradshaw’s statement is.
Every one else should at least remember who was president in 2002.
And does anyone really think “a Washington lawyer representing corporations regulated by the FDA” would make an honest statement about the agency?
(Okay, no-one else cares about this one.)
I bet the grieving families of 12 dead people care. I bet they care very much. Or would if they knew whose fault it was.
Roger Hedgecock, broadcasting a right-wing diatribe daily on San Diego’s KFMB (he has also been Rush Limbaugh’s replacement guest host several times) today (10/11/12) said that the improved unemployment figures announced by the administration were bogus, because they didn’t count California. The state had failed to report its labor statistics, so the figures were released without California’s contribution to the overall unemployment total.
Now, I don’t know for absolute certain that he’s lying… But I’ll bet a pickle that the idea is totally bogus. Pants on fire, anyone?
Yes, of course, I did not mean to be callous to the bereaved.
There is another group of people who care, employees at medical product companies that strive to comply with regulations and manufacture safe and effective products.
We are no great lovers of regulatory agencies for the most part, but we are honest about their authority and responsibilities. If anything, we argue they have less they exert, not more.
As for who is responsible, Barack Obama, Margaret Hamburg, and Kathleen Sebellius were not running that manufacturing facility. Don’t make me defend Sebellius.
(I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the rest of the country for my state.)
And this guy was the only person who noticed?
Apparently not; I Googled, and found several cites such as this one…
Thing is, I’m not so sure I can depend on a source like “Conservativebyte.” I’m not succeeding in finding a (so to speak) fair and balanced source for this.
My opinion is that it’s a load of dingos’ kidneys, and that the BLS is about as honest and competent as any big government agency (how’s that for damning with faint praise?) But, c’mon, if California were left out, wouldn’t the unemployment rate have dropped to something like 4%?
When the hell did conservatives ever give a fuck about California?
A bunch of them live here, actually. They poured a lot of effort into forcing out Grey Davis and electing Schwarzenegger, and for their efforts they got a Democrat supermajority in our legislature and Governor Moonbeam: First Blood Part 2.
Oh, God (oh God oh God oh God!) they have orgasms over California. The state is their poster child for attacking government services, tax rates, environmental laws, and immigration policy. They cream their jeans whenever anything bad happens to this highly blue state. California’s perennial budget crisis proves (to their satisfaction) that taxes are bad, regulations are bad, welfare is bad, and immigrants are bad. If it weren’t for CA, they’d only have MA to sneer at.
I more than halfway suspect the current oil price spike in CA is deliberately engineered to punish us for our 100.0 per cent chance of going for Obama (per Nate Silver) in the electoral college.
(100.0 per cent! Dang! I wish I could find an investment that secure!)
Oh, well then… mea culpa.
Just a nitpick here – calling the [pi]Deseret News* the “Mormon In-House Newspaper” goes a bit far. It’s one of two Salt Lake papers intended as standard news. It IS owned by the Church, but it was never intended to be strictly within-the-church news, like the Catholic newspaper we got when I was a kid. You might as well call the Christian Science Monitor the CS “in-house newspaper”, but I doubt if anyione would.
California has the second-highest unemployment rate, but it’s not that high: 10.6%. There is a state missing from the jobs report, but it’s not California.
I think Governor Moonbeam would make an excellent band name, and “First Blood Part 2” sounds like the name of a concept album about “the woman problem.”
Obama is a Communist, but she doesn’t know what that means.
