Lawmakers Spar Over Decision to Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Illinois Prison

Lawmakers Spar Over Decision to Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Illinois Prison
From the article...

"This means a lot for our state in terms of economic opportunity," Quinn told reporters during Tuesday's announcement, adding that the vacant prison will become "the most secure prison in America."

"We're in a depressed area of Illinois ... with severe unemployment. More than 3,000 jobs will be created," he said, noting that "no one has ever escaped from a federal prison."

That's the plan folks, BO (whew, what stinks?) is going to make it so bad, that people will rationalize anything...yes Granny, this will include your death panel.

For now, The Republic Endures.

Stagnating Temperatures
Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out

Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

Anyone want to bet that the Gore-bot will take credit for this?

USA + UK = BFF

UK pledges £250 million to healthcare initiative

The UK will provide £250 million towards a £600 million expansion of the International Financing Facility for Immunisation to allow improvement of health systems, the PM has said.

Nice to see the UK will be standing by us to pay for Obamacare, as our economy continues to be run into the ground...

Another BO lie!

Poles, Czechs: US missile defense shift a betrayal

WARSAW, Poland – Poles and Czechs voiced deep concern Friday at President Barack Obama's decision to scrap a Bush-era missile defense shield planned for their countries.

"Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to Russia and stabbed us in the back," the Polish tabloid Fakt declared on its front page.

Can someone tell me what the BO meant when he campaigned on the USA making friends and having people in the international community like us?

All I want is a little R & R

UAE seized N.Korea arms shipment bound for Iran

UNITED NATIONS, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has seized a cargo of North Korean weapons being shipped to Iran, which would have violated a U.N. embargo on arms exports from the communist state, Western diplomats said on Friday.

The weapons seized on Aug. 14 included rocket launchers, detonators, munitions and ammunition for rocket-propelled grenades, they said. The ship, called the ANL-Australia, was Australian-owned and flying a Bahamas flag.

Bernake, Kennedy, Obamacare... what the heck does a guy have to do to get a vacation around here? You go up to MV and old Kennedy croaks, re-appoint Bernake as the economy continues to tank and the Town Halls, sheesh. He is planning to take a vacation from his vacation at Camp David...now this!

Can't a guy get some rest?

Obama Propaganda

Take a look at the #10 Downing Street twitter account. Six tweets in two days regarding Britain's national health care and how great it is!
Here is a sample...

PM:NHS often makes the difference between pain and comfort, despair and hope, life and death. Thanks for always being there #welovetheNHS

Now who do ya think put them up to that? How many Americans follow 'DowningStreet'. The administration is showing desperation by trying to gather support for their death panels from over seas via Twitter.

Paper appologizes to Clinton

Washington Post appologizes for a Clinton joke.

WASHINGTON -- Two Washington Post journalists are apologizing and their satirical online video series has been canceled following criticism of a joke they told about Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

When I first read this head line, I thought it was some remark about Bill Clinton initiating the two female journalists into the mile high club on the way back from North Korea. After all, he did free them.

But it wasn't!

In the video, columnist Dana Milbank and White House correspondent and blogger Chris Cillizza appeared in smoking jackets to discuss the kinds of beer politicians might drink. Milbank said he couldn't reveal to whom President Barack Obama would serve a drink called "Mad B---- Beer." That line was followed by a brief picture of Clinton.

32 women from a special interest group signed a letter complaining...that's all it took to get an apology. Now I have not heard where these people complained about the media's treatment of Sarah Palin, but then S.P. does not fit the stereotype of a leftist liberal woman who drives a Subaru, if you know what I mean.

Isn't it ironic that this liberal, interest group whose supposed mission is "to to strengthen the voice of progressive and marginalized women in society", does so by complaining and nagging just like the stereotypical woman?

Special interest groups have the most of media in chains. The media goes right along with it. Funny how history repeats itself. It is fascinating to stand back and watch this. So much so, I am going to do a thesis on it.
