We are in Pakistan and just interviewed Secretary of State Clinton....I will try and post video and pics from the interview but do tune in Monday to On The Record to see it. Note also that we are headed to Berlin next - to interview President Bush 41.
how much blood will you carry down to hell with you? Between the aborted babies your legislation and funding have produced, and the soldiers you have left at the mercy of the Taliban, can we safely conclude you actually beat Hitler by now? Are you aiming for worse than Stalin and Mao?
Don't you, fairminded, breaking news, all other aka brick rhodes aliases agree with YOURSELF, every time you post something???? Come on, there are fewer and fewer libs left, you have to hurry and agree with yourself or people will think you're in a BLOG ECHO CHAMBER. You don't have to original: the same ol Bush, Palin, Al Franken Amendment????, 37th in health care, Raymond Burr amendment???, B O tastes good up close, Repubs are dead, will work
Don't go to any trouble to get the "interview" posted, Greta. Next week is soon enough. Andrea Mitchell has already covered everything nicely. Thorough. No spin. No interruptions. /s/ Brick
In a recent interview Soros spills the beans, talks about the new world order and describes the current and future managed and well plot out destruction of the american dollar, all though he warns it might spin out of control.

Nobody forced those women to get on their knees and teabag Letterman. If they didn't want it, why did they open their legs? I'll tell you why, because Letterman has fat pockets. You all can try to spin this all you want to, women open their legs for the rich. Always have, always will.
If the government instead of taxing durable medical goods, subsidized their cost or gave tax incentives on American made purchased goods would that promote continued advancement in technology and quality, bring down consumer cost making more widely available and promote production jobs? Isn't congress looking at this backwards?
Let's look at the proposed tax on durable medical goods. The government is going to place a tax on these items, which will be added into the cost of these items, which the government will pay for through government medicare/medicaid creating a need for another revenue source or if paid through the private insurers will create a need to increase premiums. The purpose of this, only one I can see is so that government can control the cash flow. Why would I want that?
TONIGHT! A new bombshell! America, this is seriously going to drive you to suicide! Reports from a source close to a source states that someone taking your picture will actually steal you soul! AND I lay out the connections to ACORN...on my blackboard!
Don't you have anything worth saying??? Don't you research??? You have absolutely no social skills. Were you a latch key child??? You lack proper decorum or syntax..You may need to go to school and relearn information and proper expression.
Whoever called Letterman a "rapist" needs to be taken out in the middle of the street and shot like a mad dog. You may dislike his show, his politics, and his comedy, but you have no right to call this man a 'rapist'. Whoever you are, you are a piece of crap!

uh, huh--you know the dem game "blame bush". Don't you libbies take resposibility for anything??? Let me answer that...absolutely NOT! Paltroons
----who said anything about Bush? How about blaming the 30 Repubs who think its alright to gangrape a woman and leave her in a shipping container
The Truth About the Franken Amendment
Posted October 16th, 2009 at 4.01pm in Enterprise and Free Markets, Rule of Law.
When a disgruntled employee files a lawsuit that goes to court his employer must pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Even if the courts reject the allegation as frivolous employers must still pay the lawyers. That allows unscrupulous employees to use threat of going to court to win large settlements from their bosses for baseless claims. Guilty or not guilty, the employer loses money that could have been used to expand operations and hire more workers.
Consequently many employers are turning to alternative dispute resolution methods that cost far less. Many contracts require employers and employees to take legal disputes to arbitration. There an outside arbitrator evaluates the claims and imposes remedies. Arbitrators award employees fair damages in cases of actual injustice while quickly dispensing with merit-less nuisance suits. Instead of legal bills running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, however, arbitration usually costs only a few thousand dollars. That saves employers the money they need to create jobs while giving rogue employees no leverage to win undeserved settlements. Arbitration protects employees’ legal rights while keeping the economy moving. Everybody wins. Except the trial lawyers.
They like high legal bills. So they hate arbitration. It takes away their customers. The trial lawyer bar has long lobbied Congress to ban arbitration. They want to guarantee that employers accused of wrongdoing must always settle (with the help of attorneys) or go to court and really rack up their legal costs. Banning arbitration protects trial lawyers six-and-seven-figure lifestyles, but it sucks money out of businesses that would otherwise create jobs.
Last Tuesday the Senate gave the trial lawyers an enormous win. It passed an amendment offered by Al Franken (D-MN) that bars any contractor with the Department of Defense from using arbitration.
The putative justification for this is a horrific case in which Jamie Jones, a Halliburton employee in Iraq, who alleges that she was gang-raped in her bedroom by her co-workers. She claims that when she reported the attack to her supervisors, they placed her in a container under armed guard and did not let her leave or call her family for several days. Halliburton HR officials allegedly told her to “get over it” or lose her job, and she asserts that Halliburton attempted to short circuit her lawsuit by sending the case to arbitration.
Given that Franken chose to highlight her case, you might assume that the courts ruled in Haliburton’s favor, and that she was not able to bring her claims in court instead of to an arbitrator. But then you would be wrong. The courts ruled that Halliburton could not arbitrate her claims of assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent hiring, retention and supervision of employees involved in the assault, and false imprisonment.
So why did Franken offer his amendment to ban arbitration? And why an amendment that applies to every company with contracts with the DOD, not just Halliburton? Because it has little to do with ensuring that Jamie Jones gets justice. The courts have already allowed Jones’ lawsuit to go forward. This amendment is a move towards the plaintiff bar’s longstanding goal of banning dispute arbitration. But the allegations in this case are so egregious that it makes it difficult for Members of Congress to stand up for the rights of law-abiding employers.
Making it easier for lawyers to take their cut appeals to lawyers. But it comes at the expense of job creation. The money lawyers take undercuts healthy businesses and discourages new entrepreneurs from starting their own small businesses. Why would anyone start a business if they expected to spend most of the money they earn on legal bills? Why take that risk? Congress should not let the trial bar pre-judge America’s job creators guilty as charged.

We were NOT all made to believe. The support was barely above 50%, so please speak only for yourself and furthermore, there was no way GWB could mislead Congress! -----support went from 34% to around 70%(after all the lies were told). So please get YOUR facts straight. I guess youve forgotten about the bogus newspaper articles, and phony intelligence
"Liberal's PREFER the Dave Letterman's school of degrading and raping women..Hmmm" *************************************** David Letterman didn’t rape anyone. Where did you get your information? Source please? There's a HUGE difference between consentual sex and gang- rape. Jamie Leigh Jones was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone. After the rape, Halliburton/KBR put her under guard in a shipping container with a bed, and warned her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she would be out of a job.
First, I believe I owe President Obama an apology.
Mr President, I admit that, like many others, I was concerned about the Maoists serving as personal advisers and cronies in your White House.
I’m sure you can understand.
Not that it has anything to do with you, of course, but Mao murdered 70 million of his own people in his drive towards socialism/communism.
I know now that I never should of doubted you, Sir. But little did I realize that these Maoists were there to serve as strategy advisers for the war in Afghanistan!
Brilliant! Who else would you turn to for tactics and strategy in an insurgent/guerilla war than the man who conquered China for communism!
Boy, is my face red!
Like Mao, the U.S. military will now huddle in and protect the cities. And, just like Mao, we will leave the countryside, the villages and hamlets to our enemies. Yep, Al Qaeda and the Taliban can wander hither and thither among the tumbleweeds, can move up and down the countryside, but we have the cities, baby!
For a president who said he doesn’t like the word victory, especially with regards to Afghanistan, President Obama hit upon the perfect strategy to lead America’s fighting men and women to victory.
We’ll fight our war and they’ll fight their’s, eh, Mr President.
Well, here’s the Administration’s foremost Maoist, Anita Dunn, giving the background giving the background to the new strategy based on Mao’s Long March.
But the fact that these Democrat power-mongers are attempting to foist upon us a system already tried-and-failed so many times in so many places pushes the current national healthcare debate into the realm of pure lunacy.
As one of Einstein's most oft-quoted bits of genius reminds us, doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results, is insanity.
In his determined efforts to persuade a resistant public, President Obama has offered exaggerated horror stories about our own healthcare system. He has cited phantom doctors amputating healthy limbs for profit, doctors unnecessarily removing children's tonsils, as well as a few sordid stories about the failure of health insurance companies to deliver on their promises. But turning doctors into greedy villains and insurance companies into monsters has proved a bit difficult, since more than 80% of Americans consistently report satisfaction with both.
It's much easier to find horror stories from the medical delivery systems being touted by Democrats as the far warmer and fuzzier "options." These oft-cited models include Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. Amy Ridenour and Ryan Balis of the National Center for Public Policy Research highlighted one hundred individual nightmares rendered by these failing healthcare systems in their book, Shattered Lives.
WANTAGE, N.J. (AP) - Police in New Jersey are trying to determine who fired a bullet that struck CNN commentator Lou Dobbs' home as his wife stood nearby. State police Sgt. Stephen Jones says Dobbs' wife and driver were outside the home Oct. 5 when they heard the gunshot. Jones says the bullet didn't penetrate the siding and fell to the ground outside.
