Quote of the Day
“These changes mean that we will be able to do more to help women and advance the fight against breast cancer,” Brinker said. “We are working to eliminate duplicative grants, freeing up more dollars for higher impact programs, and wherever possible we want to grant to the provider that is actually providing the lifesaving mammogram.
“We have the highest responsibility to ensure that these donor dollars make the biggest impact possible,” Brinker said. “Regrettably, this strategic shift will affect any number of long-standing partners, but we have always done what is right for our organization, for our donors and volunteers.”
Brinker also insisted that the decision won’t affect any current grants — only future ones.
“We will never bow down to political pressure,” Brinker said. “The scurrilous accusations being hurled at this organization are profoundly hurtful to so many of us who put our heart, soul and lives into this organization.
Charlie Rangel continues his role as a race-baiting twit
What a buffoon… 🙄

The story:
On of the main tenets of Eric Bolling‘s show Follow the Money is that a free market economy is fairer and more successful than one administered by the goverment. Tonight, Rep. Charlie Rangel ventured onto the program to make the opposite case: that government jobs were in some ways more attractive, because minorities and women experienced less discrimination.
Bolling opened the floor by asking why the president promotes government jobs. The distrust of the government didn’t surprise the longtime Congressman, but he noted that “a lot of women are involved in these lower income jobs, a lot of minorities,” and later explained, “the government doesn’t have the racism and discrimination that the private sector enjoys.” This, to Rangel, means that “a lot of people could to better with the government job,” both minorities, women, and the elderly, working in places such as the post office. Bolling asked again to confirm whether he really meant the private sector had discrimination.

DO NOT EVER CONTACT ME AGAIN!
You are a mentally depraved stalker.
If you attempt to contact me again, I will notify the FBI in Detroit that you are doing so.
You are the one that has stalked, harassed and frightened Ann Coulter — to the point of her having to get private security.
If I were her boyfriend, you would be found in a back alley somewhere with a bullet to your head. Which is what you honestly deserve to get. The sooner the better, if you ask me 😡
You are a piece of human excrement and you are not worthy of the life that you breathe in your lungs.
Again, do not contact me again, ever……………or else. 😡
The Donald endorses Mittens

The Story:
(CNN) — Celebrity business magnate Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney for president Thursday, telling reporters he will not mount an independent campaign if Romney is the Republican nominee.
Trump, who has repeatedly flirted with the possibility of his own White House bid, revealed his decision in Las Vegas two days before Nevada’s Saturday caucuses.
“It’s my honor, real honor, to endorse Mitt Romney,” Trump said, with Romney and his wife standing nearby. Calling Romney “tough” and “smart,” Trump said, “he’s not going to continue to allow bad things to happen to this country.”
Romney responded by praising Trump for “an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works and to create jobs” and for being “one of the few who has stood up to say China is cheating” in international trade.

it’s an entire concert. I’m quite happy about the donation. So, excuse the music:
I did say before that I wouldn’t be posting secular music anymore. Well, I decide to scrap that idea. Not really in Church anymore. I tried the one; didn’t like it. So, I’m back to the secular life……and…I kinda like it. 😉
Family Of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry Files $25M Claim Against ATF
I cannot blame them at all:
The family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry has filed a $25 million wrongful death claim against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives claiming Terry was killed with AK-47s that were knowingly sold under the Fast and Furious gunrunning probe to a straw purchaser for drug cartels.
In a 65-page complaint, served on the government on Wednesday, attorneys for the family claim ATF “wrongdoing” in Operation Fast and Furious.
“ATF’s failures were not only negligent but in violation of ATF’s own policies and procedures,” the complaint claims.
The family has also filed a claim against the Lone Wolf Trading Company seeking unspecified damages for negligence in selling the weapons to the purchaser and aiding and abetting in Mexican drug cartels’ conduct.
The claim says Lone Wolf knowingly sold “hundreds of weapons” to various straw purchasers and in turn realized “hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits from these sales.”
The claim alleges that “but for defendants’ negligent and illegal sales … Brian Terry would not have been murdered in the Arizona desert on Dec. 14, 2010.”
The family is seeking a jury trial.

Uh-oh: Report: DOJ Prosecutors accepted bribes
I quoted this last night… But I thought I would blog about it too…
A U.S. Justice Department source has told The Daily Caller that at least two DOJ prosecutors accepted cash bribes from allegedly corrupt finance executives who were indicted under court seal within the past 13 months, but never arrested or prosecuted.
The sitting governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, his attorney general and an unspecified number of Virgin Islands legislators also accepted bribes, the source said, adding that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is aware prosecutors and elected officials were bribed and otherwise compromised, but has not held anyone accountable.
The bribed officials, an attorney with knowledge of the investigation told TheDC, remain on the taxpayers’ payroll at the Justice Department without any accountability. The DOJ source said Holder does not want to admit public officials accepted bribes while under his leadership.

This makes Fast and Furious look like child’s play. Those hearings on the hill ought to be very interesting to watch. 😯

Ann Coulter flips her cork
Oh Yeah, she’s lost it.
If only the Democrats had decided to socialize the food industry or housing, Romneycare would probably still be viewed as a massive triumph for conservative free-market principles — as it was at the time.
It’s not as if we had a beautifully functioning free market in health care until Gov. Mitt Romney came along and wrecked it by requiring that Massachusetts residents purchase their own health insurance. In 2007, when Romneycare became law, the federal government alone was already picking up the tab for 45.4 percent of all health care expenditures in the country.
Until Obamacare, mandatory private health insurance was considered the free-market alternative to the Democrats’ piecemeal socialization of the entire medical industry.
In November 2004, for example, libertarian Ronald Bailey praised mandated private health insurance in Reason magazine, saying that it “could preserve and extend the advantages of a free market with a minimal amount of coercion.”
A leading conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, helped design Romneycare, and its health care analyst, Bob Moffit, flew to Boston for the bill signing.

It’s terrible when Conservatives go into the tank for a candidate. This is living proof.

So much for that
I thought I had mentioned this here, but I guess not.
I thought I might be getting a job. But, I guess it turns out the place is not hiring at the moment. It was supposed to be a driver position, full time, benefits, union backing — the whole bit.
But, I guess like everyone else; the company is watching its bottom line.
So, it’s back to the drawing board for me.
Which means, you need to hit my tip jar!
