Around the Moronosphere 10/28/09

Ace of Spades - Shepard Smith = Asshole -

Two candidates for governor. One accepts a request for an interview and one doesn't. Does the news cycle stop because the second candidate won't accede to the interview? According to Smith it does. Does that mean the no interviews on Iran's nuclear program can be conducted unless an Iranian also agrees to an interview. What about in a murder investigation? What a douche.

Hot Air - Pathetic: Jarrett backtracks from Fox News bias claim when asked about MSNBC -

To the question of whether Fox News is biased, Jarrett replied: "Well, of course they're biased. Of course they are."

But when Brown followed up by asking Jarrett if she thinks MSNBC is biased, she quickly downplayed her original remark. "Actually, I don't want to generalize all of Fox is biased or that another station is biased. I think what we want to do is look at it on a case-by-case basis," she said. "When we see a pattern of distortion, we're going to be honest about that pattern of distortion....

"We're actually calling everybody out. So this isn't anything that's simply directed at Fox. We just want the American people to have a really clear understanding," said Jarrett.

At least Brown had the cojones to call her out.

Instapundit- For first time under Obama, majority says US is on wrong track.

Fifty-two percent say the country is on the wrong track compared to 36 percent who say it is headed in the right direction with 9 percent saying conditions are mixed and 3 percent undecided. While there have been pluralities saying the U.S. is on the wrong track in four of the previous five WSJ/NBC polls during Obama's presidency, this is the first time the number broke 50 percent. The one month where that was not true was April when 43 percent said things were on the right track and an equal number said they were going in the opposite direction.

President Obama's job approval rating stands at 51 percent, the same number it had been during the previous two months.

But the approval ratio for his handling of the economy has dipped from 51 in September to 47 percent in October. Forty-nine percent are very dissatisfied with the state of the economy and another 31 percent are somewhat dissatisfied. Seventeen percent are somewhat satisfied and only 2 percent are very satisfied.

This has to be the fastest slide in Presidential history. Another take away here - 19% of Americans anre apparently too stupid to breathe.

Garnering Right Ideas - This made me laugh out loud

Seattle Times - Boeing talks fall apart; S.C. likely to get 787 line -

Discussions between the Machinists union and Boeing over the second 787 production line for Everett are effectively dead, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

Boeing now appears close to choosing Charleston, S.C., as the location of the second line. The person close to the negotiations said an announcement could come within days.


I knew this was coming, the union and Puget Sound area as a whole, have been making every effort to drive Boeing away for years. I guess we will just have to see what happens next.
