Poll: New Jersey Voters Favor Cutting Massive Project
I can’t believe I missed this earlier. A majority of voters in New Jersey agree with Governor Chris Christie (R) that the massive, $8.7 billion second rail tunnel project isn’t worth the expense. In fact, 50% of voters who commute to New York oppose the project. A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found that New [...]
GOP: Manchin Behind Party Switch Rumors
10. November 2010
It was reported earlier that Senate Republicans were courting Senator-elect Joe Manchin (D-WV) to switch parties. It was said that Manchin, while dedicated to remaining a Democrat for now, didn’t know what the future would hold if his party refused to change the way things were going in Washington. But now it seems that those [...]
Jane’s Editor: Yeah, That Was A Missile
10. November 2010
Despite the new common wisdom about jet contrails, an editor for Jane’s Defence Weekly says that missile-like objected spotted off the coast of California was definitely a missile. But Doug Richardson, the editor of Jane’s Missiles and Rockets, examined the video for the Times of London and said he was left with little doubt. “It’s [...]
Inspector General: WH Edited Interior Report to Seem Favorable to Drilling Ban
9. November 2010
The inspector general for the Department of the Interior says the Obama Administration edited an Interior report to make it seem as if independent scientists supported the 6-month drilling ban the administration sought to impose. In the wee hours of the morning of May 27, a staff member to White House energy adviser Carol Browner [...]
Michelle Obama Runs Out of Money While Shopping
9. November 2010
Reckless spending is apparently a family thing. While her husband talked trade, Michelle Obama did what most women love to do — shop. The First Lady, who has quite a reputation as a fashionista and is known to send stock prices of clothing companies zooming when she slips into one of their dresses, ran up [...]
Dude: Alvin Greene Considering Presidential Run
9. November 2010
We can’t possibly be this lucky. The blogging content alone would be…I’m tearing up at the very thought. Alvin Greene might run for president. Greene, the unlikely Democratic Senate nominee in South Carolina who lost overwhelmingly to Republican Sen. Jim DeMint last week, called the state Democratic Party on Tuesday to ask how much it [...]
Pelosi: I’ll Totally Consider Republican Ideas Now
9. November 2010
Does Madame Speaker actually understand that she’ll be in the minority next year? Because it doesn’t sound like she does. Democrats will continue to put forward innovative ideas, engage in entrepreneurial thinking and work to create the jobs for middle class prosperity. Republicans and Democrats must work together, with President Obama, to prepare for our [...]
NLRB: You Can Attack Your Employer on Facebook
9. November 2010
Idiotic. In a lawsuit that probably won’t sit well with most employers trying to enforce social media policies, the National Labor Relations Board said that a recent Facebook-related termination was unlawful. The employee in question, Dawnmarie Souza, used some vulgar language to deride her boss on Facebook when he denied one of her requests. Several [...]
Confirmed: Independents Made the Difference in 2010
9. November 2010
Pretty remarkable, actually. An 18-point advantage for Democrats in 2006 became an identical 18-point advantage for Republicans this year. Explains Charlie Cook: This huge shift from one midterm election to the next, by a group that constitutes 26 percent of the electorate, is seismic. It is not a matter of turnout or partisan intensity; it [...]
Defense Department: Don’t Worry About That Mysterious Missile Launch Off the California Coast
9. November 2010
Oh, well, okay then. You know that mysterious missile launch 35 miles off the coast of California? The one that appears to have involved an SLBM? The one the military says it had no warning about and insists wasn’t their missile? The one the FAA says likely wasn’t a commercial launch because no license had [...]
