“I’m Scott Brown. I’m from Wrentham. I drive a truck. And I’m nobody’s senator but yours,” the Republican told a packed crowd at his victory party in a downtown Boston hotel.
The first shot of the American Revolution was fired today – and the media can’t hide this one, like they did with the 2009 Tea Party.

Some of the reasons we’ll see a repeat of 1994, when American’s stripped Clinton of is power:
The stimulus bill(s), TARP and the mortgage bailout, Obama’s budget, upcoming cap and trade, runaway czars, skyrocketing debt, unemployment of 10%+, bribes, and broken promises. The most partisan and polarizing figure in the history of polling.
And then we have the Huffington Post:
Obama: The Goldilocks President. Delusional at best.
Chicago Olympics, Copenhagen, Iran, Economy… now Ted Kennedy’s seat, which hasn’t been held by a Republican for over 40 years.
Obama is the new miserable failure – and this time it’s not a Google bomb.
There’s hope and there’s change.. maybe they can stop the agenda of these looters.
It’s a good day 
Let’s hope the Democrats don’t try to steal this one… AKA Al Franken.
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

Thank Janet Napolitano for making all air travel a nightmare, who today told reporters during a briefing that the United States is scheduled to deploy 300 additional advanced imaging scanners at U.S. airports in 2010, and may deploy more.
I still don’t understand how this will stop terrorists in other countries from boarding with pantie bombs.
And who could forget Janet blaming Canada for 911. Someone needs to tell here where the terrorists are and what the look like.
Here’s a quick guide:
Obama continues making all sorts of “firsts”.
For Amanda Simpson, America’s first openly transgender presidential appointee, the job in the U.S. Commerce Department is an honor and the culmination of a career dedicated to understanding military technology.
President Obama recently named Amanda Simpson to be a Senior Technical Advisor to the Commerce Department. Simpson will monitor the exports of U.S. weapons technology.
But what gnaws at her, she says, is the fear of being labeled a token who was hired because of her sexual identity rather than on her merits.
“Being the first sucks,” she told ABC News.com. “I’d rather not be the first but someone has to be first, or among the first. I think I’m experienced and very well qualified to deal with anything that might show up because I’ve broken barriers at lots of other places and I always win people over with who I am and what I can do.
She has 30 years in the industry but can’t escape the feeling that some will see her appointment as a political maneuver.
“[There will be] questions like: Is this a token? Are you here to do a job or just to fill a quota or appease other people? In that regard it makes it a bit more difficult,” she said. “I’m sure I will have to do and intend to do a far superior job than any other person. But I’m sure I will always be second guessed.”
Weighing in…What a freak show this presidency is.
Seems the trade has its share of transgendered stars:
How many Rocket Scientists with 30 years experience in defence areas, who have degrees in both Engineering and Business Administration, as well as Physics?
Bill Kristol Takes The Obama Administration to task for the way they are handling terror.
“Closing the embassy in Yemen last night? No one wants State Department officials put at risk, but that is a sign of weakness. Closing the embassy? We can’t protect our own embassy in Yemen, a place where we have special operations forces. A place we say we’re working with the government on the front lines of the war on terror? And there’s a terror threat, and we close the embassy?
Kristol’s damning summation: “That’s a victory for al Qaeda. This last week has been a victory for al Qaeda in that region, I’m afraid.”
Starting to be shades of the past when the US handled terror as an inconvenience. Obama needs to quit worrying about what Dick Cheney says and start working on fighting a war that he is (reluctantly) in.
Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan.. you have to wonder if Obama is up to the task?
The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration’s response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. From the very beginning, President Obama has relentlessly tried to downplay and deny the nature of the terrorist threat we continue to face. Napolitano renames terrorism “man-caused disasters.” Obama goes abroad and pledges to cleanse America of its post-9/11 counterterrorist sins. Hence, Guantanamo will close, CIA interrogators will face a special prosecutor, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will bask in a civilian trial in New York — a trifecta of political correctness and image management.
This is all quite mad even in Obama’s terms. He sends 30,000 troops to fight terror overseas, yet if any terrorists come to attack us here, they are magically transformed from enemy into defendant.
The logic is perverse. If we find Abdulmutallab in an al-Qaeda training camp in Yemen, where he is merely preparing for a terror attack, we snuff him out with a Predator — no judge, no jury, no qualms. But if we catch him in the United States in the very act of mass murder, he instantly acquires protection not just from execution by drone but even from interrogation.
The president said that this incident highlights “the nature of those who threaten our homeland.” But the president is constantly denying the nature of those who threaten our homeland. On Tuesday, he referred five times to Abdulmutallab (and his terrorist ilk) as “extremist(s).”
A man who shoots abortion doctors is an extremist. An eco-fanatic who torches logging sites is an extremist. Abdulmutallab is not one of these. He is a jihadist. And unlike the guys who shoot abortion doctors, jihadists have cells all over the world; they blow up trains in London, nightclubs in Bali, and airplanes over Detroit (if they can); and they are openly pledged to wage war on America.
Any government can through laxity let someone slip through the cracks. But a government that refuses to admit that we are at war, indeed, refuses even to name the enemy — jihadist is a word banished from the Obama lexicon — turns laxity into a governing philosophy.
Victor Davis Hansen has some great “war on terror” 2010 predictions here.
Al Franken making his mark on government. And then taken to task.
This is what happens when you elect a comedian to government. Minnesota should be proud.
Need any more proof Obama is a poser? Another bomb.
Usually Obama has his teleprompters to his left and right – and you get to watch him move his head back and forth, which is funny enough.
Watch this with the sound off… hilarious. I call it the Obama swoop.
As Iran gets closer to a nuke each day, France has decided to fill the void Obama has left in leadership, and take the lead on the Iranian problem.
France threw down the gauntlet over Iran’s nuclear program yesterday, effectively eclipsing the United States as it pledged to take the lead in pushing for more United Nations’ sanctions.
“We make a last call to the Islamic Republic of Iran to respond to our offer of negotiation,” Gérard Araud, the French ambassador to the UN, said after a Security Council meeting focused on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
“If Iran doesn’t [respond in] the short term, France will propose a new resolution of sanctions.”
The council’s five permanent members — the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China — and Germany have been seeking to advance talks with Iran over its suspected development of a nuclear bomb.
But the United States remained less insistent than France about emphasizing the imminence of a new push for sanctions.
“We have been — and remain [in the process of] — implementing a dual track” approach of diplomacy coupled with the prospect of increased pressure, said Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the UN.
The contrast in tone was one of the strongest at the UN since Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, appeared to publicly chastize Barack Obama at a September council meeting, at which the U.S. President led a call for a nuclear weapons-free world.
“We live in the real world, not in a world of postures and communiqués. And the real world expects us to take decisions,” Mr. Sarkozy said then.
OUCH…
Or, making the most of a bad situation… story here

Next we have this gem:
The tar barons have held the nation to ransom. This thuggish petro-state is today the only obstacle to a deal in Copenhagen.
This country’s government is now behaving with all the sophistication of a chimpanzee’s tea party. So amazingly destructive has Canada become, and so insistent have my Canadian friends been that I weigh into this fight, that I’ve broken my self-imposed ban on flying and come to Toronto.
So here I am, watching the astonishing spectacle of a beautiful, cultured nation turning itself into a corrupt petro-state. Canada is slipping down the development ladder, retreating from a complex, diverse economy towards dependence on a single primary resource, which happens to be the dirtiest commodity known to man. The price of this transition is the brutalisation of the country, and a government campaign against multilateralism as savage as any waged by George Bush.
You really have to wonder what got in this persons Mangina… I have 2 words for George Monbiot.

Don Imus is back and shares some Obama gold with Sean Hannity…
I think – I mean, I don’t know – I think he’s so – I think he’s a decent guy. And, OK, let me finish. And I think he’s fine. But I think he’s so happy to be president, and just the way he acts. And that little snapping his fingers and bopping around behind the podium when he reads the teleprompter about whatever he wants to do. I mean he’s really thrilled to death to be president. And that’s fine.” Imus said.
In 2010 it’s almost certain that there will be a shift in power, as Obama loses congress…
But it could get much worse. American Democrats are now getting concerned about 2012.
Will Sarah Palin run? What will this mean? Here’s a short video that gives you the answers.
More on the Palin-mania that has begun on the left… from those that haven’t even read the book.
Obama knows the long odds against a right-wing populist winning the presidency, no matter how good she looks in a skirt or running clothes, brandishing a gun. He shouldn’t be too cocky, however, because the death of the center is ultimately a problem for him and the whole country. If the Palinistas seize the GOP, they probably cannot take the White House. But their brand of no-prisoners partisanship sure can tie up Congress.
Obama is a left wing populist by the way.
She is the country’s first WWE politician — a cartoon combatant who inspires stadiums full of frustrated middle American followers who will cheer for her against whichever villain they trot out, be it Newsweek, Barack Obama, Katie Couric, Steve Schmidt, the Mad Russian, Randy Orton or whoever. Her followers will not know that she is the perfect patsy for our system, designed as it is to channel popular anger in any direction but a useful one, and to keep the public tied up endlessly in pointless media melees over meaningless nonsense (melees of the sort that develop organically around Palin everywhere she goes). Like George W. Bush, even Palin herself doesn’t know this, another reason she’s such a perfect political tool.
With Going Rogue, the 2012 reality show has already begun. As brainless political theater, she can’t be topped. It’s just too bad for conservatives that she happens to be unsustainably divisive and, as Newsweek points out, a really good bet to permanently marginalize the Republican party by reducing it to a pissed-off, semi-coherent mob that repulses independent voters on a visceral level. To paraphrase John Doman’s Deputy Ops Rawls character from The Wire, she’s “brilliant — fuckin’ shame it’s gonna end our careers, but still.”
His rant sounds exactly like Obama.
Unsustainable divisive… a pissed-off, semi-coherent mob that repulses independent voters on a visceral level…
Think Move-on.org, Daily Kos, Huffington Post. They sure don’t like the fact Sarah is following their model from the other side. Hope And Change.
Here’s a great video showing a left woman goes off the deep end. Watch the lady on the left – and see if you can name her.
As America sits on edge waiting to hear from their great leader as a massacre has just completed… he decides to first give ‘props’ and ’shout outs’ to the people he was meeting with that day. Then, as an afterthought, he reads from the teleprompter and shares his shock and outrage.
Unbelievable tacky. The military know knows where they stand with their commander in chief.
This is a classic… Rush Limbaugh on Chris Wallace’s “Fox News Sunday”. He let’s Obama have it, and hits every point.
This should be required viewing… like him or hate him, it’s hard to argue his points. Just ask Chris Wallace.
Watch for the White House to come out on attack Monday, showing how they can’t take any criticism.
(Here’s all three – most Canadians can’t watch Fox News without paying for it.)
President Obama has successfully pared back almost all of the expensive weapons systems cut earlier this year, setting a tone of greater restraint than the Pentagon had seen in many years, the New York Times reports. “They probably got all of them but one or maybe two, and that’s an extraordinarily high score,” said Fred Downey of the Aerospace Industries Association.

I heard a million jobs today… another great reason to run for cover when you hear stimulus:
Stimulus jobs overstated by thousands
WASHINGTON (AP) – An early progress report on President Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan overstates by thousands the number of jobs created or saved through the stimulus program, a mistake that White House officials promise will be corrected in future reports.
The government’s first accounting of jobs tied to the $787 billion stimulus program claimed more than 30,000 (today 1,000,000 jobs saved) positions paid for with recovery money. But that figure is overstated by least 5,000 jobs, according to an Associated Press review of a sample of stimulus contracts.
The AP review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two and sometimes more than four times; and other jobs were credited to stimulus spending when none was produced.
For example:
- A company working with the Federal Communications Commission reported that stimulus money paid for 4,231 jobs, when about 1,000 were produced.
- A Georgia community college reported creating 280 jobs with recovery money, but none was created from stimulus spending.
- A Florida child care center said its stimulus money saved 129 jobs but used the money on raises for existing employees.
- Colorado-based Teletech Government Solutions on a $28.3 million contract with the Federal Communications Commission for creation of a call center, reported creating 4,231 jobs, although 3,000 of those workers were paid for five weeks or less.
“We all felt it was an appropriate way to represent the data at the time” and the reporting error has been corrected, said company president Mariano Tan.
- The Toledo, Ohio-based Koring Group received two FCC contracts, again for call centers. It reported hiring 26 people for each contract, or a total of 52 jobs, but cited the same workers for both contracts. The jobs only lasted about two months.
The FCC spotted the problem. The company’s owner, Steve Holland, acknowledged the actual job count is closer to five and blamed the problem on confusion about the reporting.
The AP’s review identified nearly 600 contracts claiming stimulus money for more than 2,700 jobs that appear to have similar duplicated counts.
- Barbara Moore, executive director of the Child Care Association of Brevard County in Cocoa, Fla., reported that the $98,669 she received in stimulus money saved 129 jobs at her center, though the cash was used to give her 129 employees a 3.9 percent cost-of-living raise. She said she needed to boost their salaries because some workers had left “because we had not been able to give them a raise in four years.”
- Officials at East Central Technical College in Douglas, Ga., said they now know they shouldn’t have claimed 280 stimulus jobs linked to more than $200,000 to buy trucks and trailers for commercial driving instruction, and a modular classroom and bathroom for a health education program.
“It was an error on someone’s part,” said Mike Light, spokesman for the Technical College System of Georgia. The 280 were not jobs, but the number of students who would benefit, he said.
- The San Joaquin, Calif., Regional Rail Commission reported creating or saving 125 jobs as part of a stimulus project to lay railroad track. Because the project drew from two pools of money, the commission reported the jobs figure twice, bringing the total to 250 on the government report. Spokesman Thomas Reeves said the commission corrected the data Tuesday.
