Democrats Too Dumb to Realize Obama Won Tax Deal

Posted on December 11, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Democrats Too Dumb to Realize Obama Won Tax Deal

Barack Obama pulled off a huge coup with his tax-cut deal, but House Democrats are too dim to realize it. Obama slyly negotiated “the biggest stimulus in American history,” complains Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post. Republicans boast that this is their kind of stimulus—meaning mostly tax cuts. “That’s consolation? Stimulus II will still blow another near-$1 trillion hole in the budget.” “Obama is no fool,” Krauthammer writes. “While getting Republicans to boost his own reelection chances, he gets them to make a mockery of their newfound, second-chance, post-Bush, Tea-Party, this-time-we’re-serious persona of debt-averse fiscal responsibility.” It’s the “swindle of the year,” yet Democrats are so incensed that some are calling for a primary challenge against Obama. “Really now?” They’re going to primary the first black president? “Not even Democrats are that stupid.” http://www.newser.com/story/107326/democrats-too-dumb-to-realize-obama-won-tax-d… added by: unimatrix0

Open Thread: Is Obama’s Tax Deal a Political Masterstroke?

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Open Thread: Is Obama’s Tax Deal a Political Masterstroke?

Charles Krauthammer certainly seems to think so . He posits that the deal the president struck with Republicans was simply Stimulus II – with a large dose of class warfare rhetoric thrown in, he might have added. Barack Obama won the great tax-cut showdown of 2010 – and House Democrats don't have a clue that he did. In the deal struck this week, the president negotiated the biggest stimulus in American history, larger than his $814 billion 2009 stimulus package. It will pump a trillion borrowed Chinese dollars into the U.S. economy over the next two years – which just happen to be the two years of the run-up to the next presidential election. This is a defeat? read more

Paramore Have ‘Squeezed Out The Last Drop’ From Brand New Eyes

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Paramore Have ‘Squeezed Out The Last Drop’ From Brand New Eyes

‘Playing God’ single and video will be the album’s last hurrah, Hayley Williams tells MTV News. By James Montgomery, with reporting by Matt Elias Paramore’s Hayley Williams Photo: MTV News As if the scrapbook sentiments of their just-released “Playing God” video weren’t evidence enough, Hayley Williams will be the first to tell you that Paramore are officially finished with Brand New Eyes, the album that took them to the brink and back. “Oh, we squeezed out the last drop last month,” she laughed. “We put out ‘Playing God’ and did a video for it with our friend [director] Brandon [Chesbro], and I feel great. I feel like … we hit the finish line and we’re golden. I love it. I’m proud.” So there will be no more singles from BNE, which was released more than 14 months ago and went gold. In fact, Williams said she knew as much when she began drawing up the “Playing God” treatment with Chesbro — which is why the duo decided to film it at her house in Franklin, Tennessee, and include as many of their friends as possible. It only seemed appropriate, given the sheer amount of personal growth (and intra-band communication) that went into the album’s creation, most of which is tackled in the song itself. “We filmed it at my house, so it was really personal, and I think that’s how we like to keep things,” she said. “We had friends hanging out on set all day, and Brandon being one of our best friends, he directed it. … It was just a fun, personal play on the lyrics of the song.” And, of course, there are also plenty of nods to Paramore’s past — the swinging light bulb from their “Ignorance” clip, the mirrors that adorn the back cover of Eyes, the old band photos Williams can be seen looking through — and the pop-culture world the band inhabits. It wouldn’t be a parting gift without a few presents to unwrap, after all. “There’s a lot of little things for our fans to figure out,” Williams said. “Nods to Gaga, with the glasses and the poison, and ‘Dexter,’ with the plastic on my wall in the basement. Making it was fun. I love it.” If you could pick another single from Brand New Eyes, what would it be? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Paramore

In Berlin, Gaga wears a blazer, leotard and hair bow; in London the figure dons a Philip Treacy telephone hat and sparkly navy Armani suit; in Amsterdam, she’s in a nude bodysuit, a white blazer and a towering purple beehive. Her skintight black harlequin outfit is featured in Hong Kong, and her wire “wing” dress is on display in Shanghai. Gaga statues are also making their debut in Los Angeles and Las Vegas later in the day. “As one of the biggest and most unique talents in the world, Lady Gaga is the perfect subject for the biggest figure launch in Madame Tussauds’ history,” a November press release said, explaining why Gaga was getting so many statues. “All of the styles being worked on are classic Gaga, and we’re sure her fans will be delighted with the unique looks when we unveil the figures next month.” Gaga is one of the many pop stars to get a wax statue this year. She joins Taylor Swift , Kim Kardashian and Gwen Stefani as some of the latest celebs to be immortalized for the museum. Which is your favorite Lady Gaga wax figure outfit?

The Big Buy: Tom Delay’s Stolen Congress

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on The Big Buy: Tom Delay’s Stolen Congress

The story of how Tom Delay stole the U.S. Congress. It’s the story of one of the most blatant power grabs in American history, and how a District Attorney in Texas turned out to be the biggest threat to the national DeLay Machine. The film is a warning about how easy it is for American democracy to be hijacked by a combination of relentless ambition and corporate millions. It makes the case that DeLay built a “custom-made Congress” that is still providing votes for his agenda. added by: treewolf39
