Morning Must Reads: By the Numbers

Where are Rick Scott’s priorities? He proposes cutting corporate taxes by a billion dollars despite the fact that they are already among the lowest in the nation and have never been an obstacle to corporations. That adds to Florida’s massive GOP-created deficit that is only going to be able to be paid off with federal aid. But $6 million for 53 state parks, that’s “waste” that needs to be closed and sold off. Unbelievable…

The Obama administration wants to raise taxes on businesses to replenish the State unemployment funds. That should do wonders for job creation. Are these people actually trying to drive people out of work?

In a 35 minute speech at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, the applause meter went off TWICE!!
.
Uncomfortable, the President who usually preaches to the choir for the past 2+ years was a little fidgety. Pausing at moments to have silence returned, Obama plowed ahead forward.
.
Taking his new campaign slogan onto the road, “Yes We Can” has been moved aside for “Win The Future”.

WTF?

Never Fear, Keith Is Here!!

Now when you are channel surfing, don’t be surprised to find Keith Olberman now cozy as a bug in a rug on Big Fat Al Gore’s Current TV.
.

“Neither Mr. Olbermann, his representatives, or executives from Current TV would comment on the move, but they did not deny that the channel, which counts former Vice President Al Gore as one of its founders, will become at least one partner in Mr. Olbermann’s future media plans.”

More Bad News For Global Warming Alarmists
.

“American Electric Power Co., Duke Energy, Southern Co., Xcel Energy Inc. and the Tennessee Valley Authority asked the high court to review the case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled in 2009 that states and environmentalists could move forward with their “nuisance” lawsuit. Eight states, New York City and environmental groups sued the utilities in 2004 over their heat-trapping emissions.”

.
With record winter storms, cold temperatures, and highest totals of snow for nearly 80 years in one month….Judges will have a hard time to justify a “nuisance” lawsuit brought about by wackjob environmentalist.

“Michael Moore didn’t have the chutzpah to sue Harvey and Bob Weinstein in a court in New York City where they’re based. Because I bet there’s no way a jury in the urban center that suffered through the attack on the World Trade Center twin towers would give Moore a penny. Today, Moore filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud arising out of his audit of his controversial war on terror documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.”

.
Isn’t capitalism great? Even Michael Moore will sue for more millions in his back pocket. The irony is nothing short of amazing among libtards.

Glow Sticks and Ectasy
.
In Liberal La-la-land,
.

“LOS ANGELES (CBS) —The glow-stick industry may be buzzing over the latest public service announcement from Los Angeles County, but some say it amounts to an backhanded endorsement of illicit drug use.
.
Amid ongoing debate over safety and security measures at rave dance parties held at the Los Angeles Coliseum, county health officials have quietly launched a campaign to offer guidelines for safe use of MDMA, more popularly known as “ecstasy”.”

Retraining Planned Parenthood Workers
.
When billions and millions are on the line….

“Planned Parenthood, which has more than 800 health clinics and 11,000 employees nationwide, announced the retraining effort Monday. It also said it was changing its disciplinary policy to termination in all proved cases in which there has been a failure to report. The policy previously included punishments such as leave without pay and retraining.”

.
The question begs to be answered, are liberals this stupid not to know the difference? How many brain cells does it take to understand when something is simply not right?

We interrupt this Barrage of Insanity while rusty, exhausted from his maniacal, meth fed keyboard frenzy, recovers on his the cigarette littered floor after falling off his chair…

“With record winter storms, cold temperatures, and highest totals of snow for nearly 80 years in one month….Judges will have a hard time to justify a “nuisance” lawsuit brought about by wackjob environmentalist.”
.
Are you seriously claiming that eight states and New York City are ‘wackjob environmentalists’? Firstly, an increase in snowfall does nothing to disprove the theory of Global Warming–put simply, the theory’s general message is that the global climate is going to become more extreme, due to an average temperature. In other words, because the climate is becoming more extreme, you are *more* likely (not less) to see “record winter storms, cold temperatures, and highest totals of snow for nearly 80 years in one month”.
.
It’s also worth pointing out that your linked article’s focus is actually on several House Republicans who want the lawsuit thrown out because “Judicial establishment of such standards would violate decades of Supreme Court precedent and unconstitutionally interfere with Congressional and Executive branch efforts to address climate change-related matters.” They are at the same time “also working to block the executive branch from regulating greenhouse gases. The trio unveiled draft legislation earlier this month to strip EPA of its authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.”
.
So: crazy snow does not disprove Global Warming; Republicans want to deregulate emissions at all levels of government? Sounds about right.

The WSJ is still the only major newspaper to cover the typical “civility” by the left. Just think how many liberal heads would have exploded if any conservative had voiced the same about Obama or Holder?

Where is the SPLC and the NAACP indeed?
.
Best answer is they are spreading their own level of hate and racism.

The silence of liberals is sometimes just as revealing as what they say. What would be the reaction if protesters at a Tea Party rally were heard saying the following about Attorney General Eric Holder?

• He should be impeached and “put… back in the fields.”

• We should “cut off his toes one-by-one and feed them to him.”

• “I’m all about peace… but I would say torture” him.

• “String him up… and his wife, too.”

• “Hang him.”

As Deneen Borelli of Project 21 correctly says, “calls for torture and lynching are not a matter of left and right – they are always wrong.” Bryan asked where the Southern Poverty Law Center and the NAACP were. But I won’t hold my breath waiting for liberal websites to cover this or for organizations like the NAACP to denounce it, given the double standards they have long exhibited in their unfair and degrading criticisms of principled black conservatives like Justice Clarence Thomas.

You think it’s bad now – Gov. Crook has a compliant Legislature….

Obama: “This wide. The runner has to be *this wide* to cover the credenza in the Oval Office. Don’t bump my elbow!…”

So if you’re gonna break the law and do drugs, at least don’t get yourself killed or get anyone else killed or hurt, which would only take up precious time in emergency wards? Makes sense to me. I note that the leaflet does explicitly say the best option (for many reasons) is not to take ecstasy in the first place.

But don’t call him a Socialist!!

Obama: Corporate profits must be ‘shared with workers’

Nothing wrong with profit sharing – as long as it’s a private transaction either between an employee and the company or the union and the industry.

But Obama’s not concerned about that kind of setup. In fact, he makes it sound as if government would have a role in enforcing such profit sharing (video at RealClearPolitics link)

“If we’re fighting to reform the tax code and increase exports, the benefits cannot just translate into greater profits and bonuses for those at the top. They have to be shared by American workers, who need to know that opening markets will lift their standard of living as well as your bottom line,” President Obama told the Chamber of Commerce on Monday morning.

Someone might suggest a way this would work. I suppose government could mandate a certain percentage of profits – “excess profits” – be put in a kitty for all workers. Or government could just seize what it thinks is too much profit and redistribute the wealth.

Any way you look at it, it’s more coercion, more redistributive nonsense from someone who has no respect for business or the people who create wealth.

Allow me to take the usual disingenuous right-wing approach to these comments: They were probably all right-wing plants trying to make “liberals” look bad just like all of those morons saying stupid things at tea party gatherings, McCain & Palin campaign events, HC protests, etc.
..
No one on “the left” condones those comments and the commenters should be rebuked for such demonstrable ignorance. Feel free to hypocritically beat that drum some more.
..
I notice that you failed to rebuke such commentary at the various right-wing events and were indignant at the thought of having to do so. The greatest lie continues to be the one where you tell yourself you’re not an embittered old fool.

Chances are you won’t find this in the left’s talking points but they never deal with responsibility well —or reality

Analysis of this issue launched Mr. Williams’s career as a public intellectual, and in 1982 he published his first book, “The State Against Blacks,” arguing that laws regulating economic activity are far larger impediments to black progress than racial bigotry and discrimination. Nearly 30 years later, he stands by that premise.

The 70% illegitimacy rate is a devastating problem, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with racism. The fact that in some areas black people are huddled in their homes at night, sometimes serving meals on the floor so they don’t get hit by a stray bullet—that’s not because the Klan is riding through the neighborhood.”

Hoping to end our conversation on a sunnier note, I pose a final question about race. “A Man of Letters,” Thomas Sowell’s fabulous book of correspondence, includes a letter the Stanford economist sent in 2006 to Mr. Williams, whom he’s known for four decades. “[B]ack in the early years,” writes Mr. Sowell, “you and I were pretty pessimistic as to whether what we were writing would make an impact—especially since the two of us seemed to be the only ones saying what we were saying. Today at least we know that there are lots of other blacks writing and saying similar things . . . and many of them are sufficiently younger that we know there will be good people carrying on the fight after we are gone.”
Asked if he shares his friend’s optimism, Mr. Williams responds that he does. “You find more and more black people—not enough in my opinion but more and more—questioning the status quo,” he says

This is the usual pathetic response when the left gets caught what they accuse the right of doing. The reality is that it happens daily with the left an dnot as often with the right as the left would have you believe– and the reason — Come on say it with me– The complicit press avoids, hides, excuses or defends it– just as you have done

Nope I have said no one condones that – but I guess that excuse can only be used by the left. But unlike when someone on the right might do it (or your twisted imagination assumes they did) it will be repeated and condemned over and over in the MSM— but then again they aren’t biased at all. Speaking of lies to yourself! Or is your mental disorder winning out in your pathetic little liberal world

The newly discovered minority group: Conservatives
.

It was identified by Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia who studies the intuitive foundations of morality and ideology. He polled his audience at the San Antonio Convention Center, starting by asking how many considered themselves politically liberal. A sea of hands appeared, and Dr. Haidt estimated that liberals made up 80 percent of the 1,000 psychologists in the ballroom. When he asked for centrists and libertarians, he spotted fewer than three dozen hands. And then, when he asked for conservatives, he counted a grand total of three.
[...]
Dr. Haidt (pronounced height) told the audience that he had been corresponding with a couple of non-liberal graduate students in social psychology whose experiences reminded him of closeted gay students in the 1980s. He quoted — anonymously — from their e-mails describing how they hid their feelings when colleagues made political small talk and jokes predicated on the assumption that everyone was a liberal.
[...]
Can social scientists open up to outsiders’ ideas? Dr. Haidt was optimistic enough to title his speech “The Bright Future of Post-Partisan Social Psychology,” urging his colleagues to focus on shared science rather than shared moral values. To overcome taboos, he advised them to subscribe to National Review and to read Thomas Sowell’s “A Conflict of Visions.”

For a tribal-moral community, the social psychologists in Dr. Haidt’s audience seemed refreshingly receptive to his argument. Some said he overstated how liberal the field is, but many agreed it should welcome more ideological diversity. A few even endorsed his call for a new affirmative-action goal: a membership that’s 10 percent conservative by 2020. The society’s executive committee didn’t endorse Dr. Haidt’s numerical goal, but it did vote to put a statement on the group’s home page welcoming psychologists with “diverse perspectives.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/science/08tier.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper

(emphasis mine)

Now that conservatives in certain parts of academia where perspective matters – humanities and social sciences rather than natural sciences – are conservatives going to still rally against diversity initiatives or not?

Personally, I propose a trade.

If conservatives get affirmative action in humanities and social sciences in universities, then it would only be fair if executives ( outside of New York, San Francisco, Boston, Washington, Chicago… all of the major cities where we are reasonably well represented) try to hire at least 10% liberals.

Cars of the future from Government Motors

I stopped by the auto dealership yesterday and took a new truck for a test drive. The salesman, wearing an Obama lapel pin, sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and its options.

“It has all of the latest technology,” he chimed. “For example, the seats blow warm air on your backside in the winter and cool air in the summer heat.”

“This must be a Republican truck,” I commented.

What do you mean this is a ‘Republican’ truck?” he replied with a perturbed look.

“Well, if it were a Democrat truck, the seats would blow smoke up your butt year-round.”

I had to walk back to the dealership.

From the Patriot Post

“That should do wonders for job creation”
.
Paully,
.
It seems like conservatives think of employers as saints doing good deeds rather than people trying to get an honest cash flow.
.
Corporate profits: back to 2007 levels – not a problem.
.
Employment: 9% – big problem.
.
Consumer demand ( due to unemployment): very low – big problem .
.
US Budget: major deficits and major political panic about the deficits ( which were just dandy when done by Republicans during an excellent economy) – big problem
.
Solution: Increase taxes on corporate profits to pay for unemployment benefits so that the unemployed don’t starve and to make sure that demand does not go further down .
.
Apparently, like most of the far right who post here, Paully seems to think that, instead of just paying the tax and having the same number of customers, that employers will stamp their feet, throw a fit, fire everybody in sight and – unknown how – maintain the same levels or great levels of profit.
.
Having managed before, I know that no matter how much tax one does or does not pay, employment is a function of consumer demand and not a function of profits.

Yes – car reviews from a DB. Why get it from proffesionals when you can get it from someone that makes you feel are warm and p!ssed off inside. The guy probably didn’t have a Obama pin on his jacket since most sales organizations do not allow sales people wearing anything that might tick customers off. But it sure makes for a cool story and got you all emotional.

Voluntary salary increases are one thing. Using coercion and legislative threats is the socialism. Business cedes control of its finances to government.

Interesting. The person you copy and pasted from has an opinion that Obama will do this through coercion and you jump on the socialist bandwagon. It’s the perpetual ‘squirrel moment.

Socialism would of course be self evident. Not what the writer suppose it means and you take away as the message. That’s called ignorance. BTW – this is of course an example just how ironic it is that you b!tch about brlliant liberals running away with something Obama didn’t say. That’s ‘brilliant’. Lets keep it real okay?

Your logic in your response matches the typical liberal intelligence- you are master of reading textbook definitions of everything but have zero ability to apply anything. ANd there are plenty of facts- most you refuse to accept but then again that is just a liberal lying to themselves to keep the charade of liberalism going. Otherwise the major growth in jobs would be to supply rickety stools and a length of rope

Never mind what you don’t know or get right about me. It’s the usual liberal this and that drivel.

How about providing some actual evidence of these many many facts. if you had any you wouldn’t need to spend so much time moaning about ‘us’ nasty liberals. I’ve asked you many times about supplying information and I usually only get pathetic insults in return. I hope that’s not the depth of your intellectual argument.

But it sure seems like it.

It was around 1980. I never wore them because I thought they felt restricting. That was the LAST time I never put them on. I won’t even take the car out of park unless everyone is buckled up now. It was a head-on collision on icy roads. I was getting glass dug out of my head for 6 months. I went through the passenger side and I was driving. Luckily, I had quit partying the year before for good because as soon as I was out of the emergency room I got tested for alcohol/drugs.
.
The ambulance hit my car and a police cruiser hit the ambulance. The other guy wasn’t so lucky. He had 42 broken bones and was in a coma for a month. I was only off work for a few weeks. I got sued and lost. The case drug on for almost two years. It was the second time I’d been sued. The first time I got sued was by my current wife but I was married to her cousin then. I don’t hold grudges.

On a worldwide basis, 2010 was the warmest year on record. On the North Pole, the South Pole and throughout the tropics, we are seeing record highs. There is a longstanding record of receding glaciers in the Alps, in the Himalayas, in the Rockies, on Mt. Kilmanjaro (where the snows will likely disappear forever over the next decade). But, no, it’s snowing in Philadelphia and that’s good enough for the new wave idiot right wingers. Having learned how to ignore economic data, the new Know Nothings have now empbraced Full Scientific Ignorance. Well, you may be able to fool your fellow Creationist republicans, but you can’t fool Mother Nature. She’s coming for all of us.

Stop it. You make us liberal elite look like regular people.

I’m glad you got through the ordeal ‘intact’ and that you learned the lesson.

Interesting. At the same time, there are more conservative Social and Psychological groups out there that could probably find the opposite numbers. I think the guy has a valid point looking at the issue from their own perspective. A recognition of a tribal impulse in humanity. We tend to seek out people with our own values. The interests in that type of education (That particular school of thought in Psychology and Sociology), tend to attract people who are looking for exactly that. My daughter is a social worker and went into the field because her values led her there.

I just had an interesting conversation on FB (yes FB, gasp!LOL) with some people over an NPR story about the internet and social media sites fracturing society as to people spending more and more time only with more people of like values. I dont think its really fracturing it, any more than it is just allowing us to connect with more people in our value groups.

Most people who have contact with psychologists and social workers have it because they have had some kind of problem (not necessarily caused by their own actions, like PTSD). The whole idea of this school of work is to help the person resolve those problems through a self actualization process. The resolution of the behavioral problem should come from the patient as they see through to the roots of the behavior that caused them a problem and the value judgment of the same should come from the patient.(Or client as they say. Which is more accurate, because most of the work is done by people with a Masters level education.)

I can see why this would attract people of a liberal mind set. At the same time there are very good programs from a more conservative point of view. There is nothing wrong with that if it is helping people. And both schools do, along with some programs that firmly mix both areas. (AA is a good example of this in its purest form)

Good article. My best friend is also a psychologist and we are also in a band together and talk about this stuff a lot.

Ouch on the wreck. I was in one where I rear ended a semi at a traffic light in a small Toyota truck. That was in Christmas week of 1988. The result of waaaaay to much tequila. I was not wearing a seat belt either, but the nature of the wreck through me above the windshield and I literally left a dent in the roof of the truck that fit my head. Ever since that day I do 2 things, the most import of which is not to imbibe anything and drive, (I am really thankful I hit the the back of a semi and not a car full of people who I could have killed) and I always wear a seat belt.

I had no glass, but ended up with 100 or more stitches in my head. I was making around 50 mph and fell asleep at the wheel. My little Toyota truck looked like a TR7, if you remember those little wedge shaped sports cars. I was not hurt nearly as bad as I should have been. I was knocked out though and when the poor truck driver came to check on me, I got out and was chasing him around the truck because he had the nerve to stop on my highway. And to top it off, the wreck happened at the intersection in front of the hospital.

All this has something to do with why I am an ex drinker. I was prone to stupid human tricks.

paticksartor@2.1,

Some questions for you…

1. When does Unemployment Insurance become welfare? Is it at 99 weeks or longer?

2. How does increasing the payroll burden for businesses create jobs?

3. Why can’t the Federal government imitate corporations which have taken steps to reduce costs and increase productivity?

4. Why penalize success to reward failure?
