Doubleplusundead - DUI Lawyers Everywhere Rejoice - 3 out of every 5 lines of code has errors
Economic stimulus by other means? I am sure the lawyers will be making money hand over fist and there should be trickle down
Flopping Aces - “Smoking Gun” Memo Discloses How Global Warming Remedies are Political, NOT Scientific
Just One Minute - A Pelosi vs. CIA summary -
D=S - Limbaugh, Krauthammer & Coulter On Pelosi -
The Other McCain - Another Pelosi Round-up -
Conservatives are having a hell of a time watching Pelosi squirm, but I'm not sure she isn't going to get away with it. She has been a lying partisan hack for years and has slid by with the willing acquiesense of the media, why should they change now. All she has to do is shut up for 5 minutes and stop giving Jon Stewart joke fodder and she will skate.
Other Stuff:
Al- Jazeera - Scores of Taliban die in fighting - At least 124 suspected Taliban fighters have been killed by Pakistani government forces in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) over 24 hours, the military said late on Thursday.
The army shelled suspected Taliban bases in the districts of Swat and Lower Dir on Thursday, marking the 18th successive day of attacks by the military in NWFP.
BBC - Collapse of Western Antarctic Ice Sheet would only raise sea levels 10 feet or so. Not 15 to 20 feet previously projected.
Dawn - US Senate approves emergency aid for Pakistan - "The Senate measure also includes about $900 million in economic and security aid for Pakistan which is battling militant Taliban fighters spilling over its border with Afghanistan. The House bill has about $1 billion for Pakistan.
Fox News - Gitmo Tribunals to Resume - President Obama is expected to announce the administration's decision to restart Bush-era military tribunals for a small number of Guantanamo detainees Friday.
I can hear heads popping already.
and U.S. Has Plan to Secure Pakistan Nukes if Country Falls to Taliban - "The United States has a detailed plan for infiltrating Pakistan and securing its mobile arsenal of nuclear warheads if it appears the country is about to fall under the control of the Taliban, Al Qaeda or other Islamic extremists."
well at least we have a plan. Does President Obama have the will?
US Trying to speed up training of Pak Army - "U.S. officials are in early talks with Pakistani leaders to develop a program that could increase the number of U.S. special operations trainers in that country, with a goal to slash the training time by as much as half for more than 9,000 members of Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps, said a senior defense official.
Training the 14 battalion-size units of the Frontier Corps is expected to take at least four years, but officials would like to both speed up their counterinsurgency training and expand the schooling to the Pakistani Army, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are preliminary and no decisions have been made."
NY Times - Mexican Data Say Migration to U.S. Has Plummeted - "Mexican and American researchers say that the current decline, which has also been manifested in a decrease in arrests along the border, is largely a result of Mexicans’ deciding to delay illegal crossings because of the lack of jobs in the ailing American economy."
Again make it economically unrewarding and the illegal immigration problem will resolve itself.
Health Care Leaders Say Obama Overstated Their Promise to Control Costs - He tends to do that just ask the folks at Catepillar
Yahoo - Bipartisan health consensus emerges - Well this can't possibly be good.
Statistical sampling out in 2010 census - "WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's pick to lead the Census Bureau is ruling out the use of statistical sampling in the 2010 head count, seeking to allay GOP concerns that he might be prone to put politics over science."
Dems find 60 votes isn't enough, those nasty Republicans still want a say and the conservative Dems Chuck Schumer recruited to run in Red states are letting them have it.
"And with contentious fights over health care, climate change and Obama’s first Supreme Court pick ahead, some Democratic senators are now convinced that they can’t wade into some of the hot-button social issues their supporters would like them to pursue.
“They should not take anything for granted,” said Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who as majority whip has the job of counting votes. “People keep saying, ‘Wow, if you get Sen. Franken up in Minnesota, everything is going to be fine — you’ll be at 60.’ I’ve never said that, I know, because I face these senators every day, and I know that each of them has their own mind.”
Their own little versions of Specter, Snowe, and Collins, gotta love it.
