Dennis Kucinich to vote yes on Health Care bill.

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich waited until Democrats had won last November’s health care reform vote before casting his ballot against it on the House of Representatives floor.. This time around — pressured by everyone from President Obama to Moveon.org — the Cleveland Democrat had no luxury to dawdle before taking a stance. He just announced at a Capitol news conference that he’ll vote yes on the bill’s latest draft. “I have doubts about the bill,” Kucinich said. “This is not the bill I wanted to support. . . However, after careful discussions with President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, my wife Elizabeth and close friends, I’ve decided to cast a vote in favor of the legislation.

Very provocative, but the comparison is clearly valid.

Alaska legislators VS Obama Administration over Endangered Species Act.

(Hat tip to Phil Munger for the photo) Members of Alaska’s congressional delegation met with two top Obama administration environmental officials Friday to discuss several issues that could have wide-ranging impacts on the state. Of most concern to the delegation is the proposed listing of a critical habitat for the Cook Inlet beluga whale and petitions to list ice seals as threatened or endangered species. The delegation is worried that such decisions by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration could harm the state’s economy.

Barf bags at the ready! Here is some video of Palin and Glenn Beck in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Oh God who can listen to her speak and still believe that she is not a huge phony? By the way, I have no idea how many people actually showed up to this event. In the video they say 4,000.

Sarah Palin gives speech in Florida where she lashes out at condescending liberals and the media. I decide to write a condescending post about it.

(Sarah Palin shocks crowd by delivering entire speech using naked sock puppets.) Sarah Palin lashed out at Washington, the media and condescending liberals Friday night at an Orlando Republican fund-raising event, and predicted the GOP would restore “common sense” to government in the upcoming November elections. Palin said those notes she wrote on her hand at a National Tea Party event — where the media and White House later “busted me for using a poor-man’s teleprompter” — explained just what the country needed: a strong energy policy, tax cuts; and “lifting America’s spirits.” “Americans get it,” Palin said. “In Washington, they don’t get it.” I think what Palin is trying to say here is that she does not believe these “Americans” she speaks of are as intelligent as the people in Washington, who immediately knew that the fact Palin wrote notes on her hand demonstrated an incredible level of ignorance and immaturity. The wildly popular, but equally polarizing former vice presidential candidate packed the Orange County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day fundraiser, attracting 1,300 fans to the Shingle Creek Resort. Orange GOP Chairman Lew Oliver said he expected the event to net the party more than $110,000. Does that amount even cover her speaking fee? I am just asking. While Sarah was up on stage polishing her verbal moose turds she took a moment out to attack a wildly popular local politician. The fearless Alan Grayson. While advocating for standard GOP issues — lower taxes, less spending, more freedom and smaller government — Palin also singled out one Central Florida Democratic politician: U.S Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando. Palin said voters need to remove the fiery millionaire lawyer in November.”Do it for the rest of America,” she said in a speech lasting about 40 minutes. Yeah Florida, get rid of one of the few really effective and dedicated Democratic politicians in Washington. Because he kind of scares the shit out of the GOP who, apparently, are the only people that Palin considers to be “real Americans”. I assume she puts the people of Florida who voted for Grayson, and sent him to Washington, to be in some separate category. What is your best guess? Socialists, communists, or gay Nazis? Gee I wonder what Rep. Grayson has to say in response to that. “I’m sure Palin knows all about politics in Central Florida, since from her porch she can see Winter Park,” Grayson responded. Nice. Still Palin did manage to impress a few people. Listen to what this woman, who clearly does not have access to the internet, had to say about Palin. “I love her morals, her character and the way she says what she believes,” said Connie Albers, a self-described 40-something, stay-at-home mom from Winter Garden. Gee I wonder if the rock this woman is living under has air conditioning. I mean it can get so hot in Florida. As long as there are still enough people like this lady around Palin will always be able to attract an audience too unaware and uninformed to realize that their opinion is based on a fantasy that Palin, with the help of Fox News and certain websites, has crafted to help her empty the pockets of the disaffected and disillusioned. For some of these people it is really only a choice between buying aluminum siding from swindlers, sending their money to a televangelist, or paying to watch Sarah Palin speak. Same audience, different line of bullshit.

Finally somebody will get Sarah Palin on the witness stand!

Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is expected to be a witness at a University of Tennessee student’s internet fraud trial next month. University of Tennessee student David Kernell, now 22, is accused of accessing Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account (gov.palin@yahoo.com) while she was Sen. John McCain’s running mate. Palin was governor at the time. Prosecutors contend Kernell answered some security questions, like Palin’s date of birth and where she met her spouse, then reset her password. He’s accused of posting the new password on the internet so others could look at her e-mail account. I doubt the defense attorney will ask Palin any of the questions that most of us are dying to hear her answer, but I know I will still be paying very close attention to this trial. Just in case.
