When is it okay to use ‘holocaust’? By: Jonathan Allen October 1, 2009 02:18 PM ESTWhen is a holocaust not THE Holocaust? The word holocaust was barely out of Rep. Alan Grayson’s mouth Wednesday afternoon when conservatives – and a few liberals – began crying foul.Grayson was less than 24 hours removed from his caustic Republicans want you to “die quickly,” speech, and now he was making holocaust references on the House floor.“I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner

“Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.” -Rahm Emanuel Is there any question that Obama’s presidency is in crisis? James Taranto : Biden’s observation that Republican victory in 2010 would be “the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do” is telling. It is an excellent argument for voting GOP next year. However much the Republicans may deserve to lose yet again, the country does not deserve to have done to it what Barack and he are trying to do.

Submitted by: Doris Parker Joan Swirsky’s analysis of Barack Obama’s psychological profile is a masterpiece.  You will want to pass this along to your friends, as Americans (and other “global citizens”) are beginning to realize that Obama isn’t what he appeared to be during a theatrically orchestrated campaign.  Does inner rage – not hope – lie at the root of this man’s motivations?  You decide.

No, Joy, it’s “nattering nabobs of negativism” not “nattering negative nabobs.” The late William Safire penned the line about the media for a speech by Nixon veep Spiro T. Agnew. So media whore Joy’s trolling for media buzz by inviting Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh on her show: Embedded video from CNN Video

[ YouTube Link ] Who would have thought that Oprah Winfrey would one day be ranting and raving about Jay-Z ….up next 50 Cent appears on Rush Limbaugh ….

On Wednesday night Jon Stewart at the Daily Show skewered the Democratic “super majority” for passing no major legislation on the environment, Iraq or Afghan war timetables, or health care.   Stewart mocked how the Senate Finance Committee rejected two health care bills with a public option (despite the fact the public option is supported by 65% of the people and 70% of doctors) on the same day they passed an “abstinence only” education proposal.   Stewart’s colleague Stephen Colbert was more direct, pointing out  how Max Baucus (D-Montana), Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, has received over $3 million in campaign contributions from the health care industry.

This caller on Rush Limbaugh’s show yesterday — Susan from Glendale, CA — was simply amazing. Listening to her, I was choked up with emotion and getting teary eyed, as she was expressing the same frustration, anger and disgust with our current Federal government (Obama Administration AND Democrat-controlled Congress) and doing it with such amazing emotion and passion. Her call should be spread far and wide and I hope it goes viral.

I am a fan of ‘The Common Man’ Dan Cole’s “progrum” on KFAN. He has this bit that collects preposterous statements from sports journalists and others over the year, and then sets them in a March Madness NCAA tournament bracket. Each day for the last couple of weeks he has a had a poll for each matchup you can vote on and the winner advances. ( Listen to this to get a sample of what I am talking about ).
