Look why he came in and testified to.
Represents the most colossal.
Financial misrepresentation.
Not think in history.
He said that daddy tell the American people square -- On that we would not be adding to that debt we wouldn't -- knowledge in my there we have them again to pay down the net.
That was -- -- -- That.
It was Jeff Sessions he is as you can tell from Alabama.
He is -- senator and he is the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee.
And he intends.
He's making it clear that he thinks Jack -- The president's nominee.
To be his Treasury Secretary is a scoundrel and absolute scoundrel.
And this is power play and I and Chris -- -- And Jack -- nomination.
Is getting a little creek here.
As is making its way through the senate certainly not going to be a slam dunk there we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about whether the president can clear the decks on as a national security nominees.
Before he gets to what he's guaranteed to be a contentious fight.
Over mr.
-- currently is chief staff will do that.
Will talk about the super senate races that are going to determine control of the United States senate when it working I'm not even apologized for moving ahead to the mid term elections anymore as I wanna I'm ready I needed.
Let's do it.
We're gonna do that with Joseph -- that's nuts -- like that and -- like that.
And we will also talk about the new Fox News polling that talks about a very funky February February -- for the United States we'll see where that's going.
-- couples will be here you'll have fun.
And I know you'll have fun because -- -- is here.
Danny Lee as you know is -- principle -- -- strategies I know that that's true.
I mean I know also that she's former advisor to senator senate majority leader Harry Reid and other very important Democrats.
She's a big deal but -- which is a nice person and patriotic.
Ford O'Connell he is the chairman of the civic forum.
Which is another way of saying that he's a Republican strategist.
He also happens to have worked for McCain campaign and a lot of other things that makes -- a pretty big deal and also patriotic and also good people shop.
All those things -- give him.
Republicans really do not like that -- they really really really really do not and -- The next thing Jeff Sessions Jeff Sessions used to be a prosecutor -- in Alabama and he's good at being mean.
And the next thing is there's a law that says -- president in Medicare is in the red zone.
That the president has to by law.
Offer a solution it's it's silly thing probably the George W.
Bush did it Obama has not done it sessions latest thing is he's he's gonna blow hot.
He's gonna block.
Lou on these grounds that unless the president coughs up a proposed solution for insolvency and Medicare.
And basically sends a note of apology.
That he will hold up Lou.
Is Jack -- going to be confirmed what your guess.
My guess is actually -- -- is going to be confirmed the numbers are on his side district you back Democrats.
That's a lot of Democrats backward -- probably did you filibusters very rare though.
On these had a key appointments that they actually do filibuster on things that are actually asked for the sixty vote threshold you CDs are given.
And an up and down measure and so therefore I do believe Jacqueline that's going to be.
Confirmed will there be some consternation before -- really -- be some theatrics will there be some.
Last minute negotiations and deals and likely something being offered on Medicare to show that it is going to be insolvent.
For a long time yes.
That is the nature of Washington and that is what we're seeing on the other nominations as well as some of the C theatrics that often times go after -- -- that.
The senator can prove a point and go back through local constituents and say I was top.
Yeah this one there's a little difference here though for -- think just because that the president this is -- And unconventional choice for treasury sir Terry right.
Well it is not often as the cool headed guy who like Jeff Sessions you know former tomorrow right now standards up into good reason.
They see this is -- Republicans see this is an antagonistic.
Ideological pick.
Did basically says you have no intention of cutting spending.
And this is -- the hard debate in what I think we're gonna see here.
There's a hearing drags -- -- really.
The difference when -- Republicans and Democrats -- fiscal policy Republicans think we need to get better control when -- to bring certainty the private sector.
And Democrats seem to believe is spending is an issue that we can tax and regulate ourselves surprised you know -- prosperity by focusing on the public sector I think that's what's gonna come forced -- of this.
So -- -- the norm.
For a Treasury Secretary government me.
Is somebody more in the mold of Tim Geithner.
Who is president of the New York Federal Reserve before he came down for the show.
Or before that.
The Hank Paulson.
-- big.
Great imminence of the firm Goldman Sachs you may have heard of that but generally these -- Wall Street people bankers money guys.
In the mold of Alexander Hamilton our first Treasury Secretary.
JetBlue is not that -- He's that he's more an academic he is more on the fiscal matters on the on the more on the budgetary side -- and beat those kind of more bureaucratic positions.
He hasn't had other than his.
Short stint at Citigroup which I think we'll also becoming be eliminated tearing these.
It curious as well as there's some -- because he did.
He did have a nice day layover yeah yeah.
Layover and I at a golden parachute on the way outer cover is very short and clear they're sort of sub prime mortgage -- it -- it's -- -- it.
Any case if it is it was interesting -- by the president because he didn't break animals that he didn't stay within well.
Near the larger pattern -- room.
I'm monetary issues and he's -- he's going with somebody that knows they don't really seem dealings in congress and really on micro level as to that the pieces of the budget.
So that it's it's going to be interesting to see how he does play because he does need to.
Play nice there's going to be some huge issues coming up.
When I think just one huge concerns the Republican side it's not about protecting Wall -- understanding how the private sector works.
In the sense that -- Republicans truly believe that the best way to give back to prosperity is by growing the private sector.
Big inning 323 I don't know why you need to 323 like Arthur is is -- there that -- database in the but I never I don't know with the New Jersey right exactly yeah have you got a big block I don't know Jack -- Tim what's the difference.
And they have outlines of this in their discussion here -- many but there's also this.
This is a sign that the president is more interest it.
In fiscal issues because if you think back to what Jack -- was Jack -- was the head of the Office of Management and Budget the green I -- brigade.
In the Clinton administration he's that guy he's not as -- said it fancy she's -- macro economic.
This is designed for the president Tim Geithner was focused on keeping banks open and stuff like -- complicated stuff like that.
What -- with the -- It and he tells us it is that the president is.
Ready for.
Ruling and three months the cyclical awful fiscal battles with the Republicans for the next two years.
And he doesn't seem because when any of the things that the Treasury Secretary must do is also -- seem -- -- actually has been very good at is calling the world market.
And being integral part in kind of thinking of some creative things outside -- bomber go off to let did raise -- Merkel to help.
Others -- as we are now in this global economy so there are questions legitimate questions about Jack who has experience to be able to.
Call on the global markets as well how.
Our place and before we -- say it again.
This stands to -- Unless Chuck Hagel turns out that he really has some problems and is non disclosures.
That this instigate.
The -- best confirmation fight of them -- mark my words I said it.
And I'll just say this.
-- should you be so lucky Internet in your life to ever get to spend time with.
Two people tonight can you imagine getting to go to a dinner party or something with these two people -- be thrilled you're just the thrill so -- -- So big many consider yourself lucky that's the deal and I only say that these -- not here OK we've got to take a quick break but when we come back.
Joseph Trippi.
The man himself will join us from Key West.
Where -- I know they're celebrating no -- Friday in Key West.
So stick around.
And that is freedom fuel.
Coal as other people call.
It is abundant in one particular state.
Can you guess it's West Virginia.
Where coal is -- and there also is going to be a vacancy in the United States senate.
And this is power play and as I said before I'm not going to apologize for it anymore we're gonna go ahead and move right on to mid terms because that's what we do.
That's how we jam and you know you've rested -- -- the holidays you're fine you're you're ready I know you're ready -- come along.
With us as we start to explore the senate races that we already know are going to be hot contests.
And I cannot imagine a better person with -- to have this conversation.
-- your friend of mine Internet any great supporter and modify -- of your worst Internet Joseph Trippi.
Who helped revolutionize -- during 2004.
Presidential campaign of Howard Dean.
Brother -- joins us from Key West as I understand is that so.
Yes Chris and it's.
Don't worry about me it's tough -- here.
But I think I'll be OK the temperatures are just unbearable.
Really I am sick but here's a question I'm excited -- -- -- that's what what is up with that.
I'll -- all my vacation but I had an earlier hit on and happening now.
Just actually a few minutes ago and and now I'm I am happy to be here reviewed talk about senate races and then.
And then I'm I'm put a T shirt on -- and and going back on vacation for the.
This is -- is -- cigars will be out life will be good okay you -- do you promise yes exactly.
Yes absolutely -- at least journalists Wednesday so here's the question.
We know that the race for Jay Rockefeller seat is going to be tough in West Virginia.
And we know it we know that it will also hold true to one arch type.
Which is you have an establishment Republicans -- air quotes.
In Shelley Moore -- of the articles that state.
Bernie should be a win for Republicans in what has become a very red state on the federal level.
Could be that these could be infighting could lead to an opportunity for Democrats hold their -- agreeing.
Absolutely and that's one of the I think the big issue in all the you know end of the bulk of the races this year or not.
Whether on this surface Republicans in the senate races have an advantage Democrats have more reason -- seats to defend in in.
At least to date more retirements in key states.
The real issue is what is you do we have -- sort of a replay of the last two.
Senate cycles where.
Tough primaries.
Within the Republican Party leave.
The eventual nominee damaged enough war.
Or outside of the outside of the electorates comfort zone.
-- that the Democrats actually.
My side actually ends up with some seats like the bad.
-- -- -- -- -- would have -- should have been a lot of trouble there the Delaware seat should have been a lot of from -- We've seen this in in the last two cycles and I think West Virginia could fall.
-- that to that situation your right.
It could be anything could be the case in Georgia to -- right now it's tougher.
Democrats to win at state level and Georgia these days.
But there there is another tough primary shaping up there on the blue team though didn't go there are several red state Democrats mark baggage in Alaska.
Mary Landrieu.
In Louisiana Mark Prior in Arkansas.
That are in bright bright bright red states.
Those guys have got to be nervous right.
-- I -- I think obviously nervous but also in terms of some of the issues it that are out there right now whether the immigration or gun control.
-- you -- -- some of these issues -- -- The Obama administration -- that Democrats sort of where we you know we were kind of it you know on the you know sort of really pushing the envelope because we won in kind of thing that nationally.
At the national level may help in it may work for a lot of Democrats and insert in a lot of the -- congressional districts and a lot of Blue States -- work with there are three.
You point now it.
Mary Landrieu.
Mark Pryor.
And young and others I mean they're bitter in these.
Red states and the issue of gun control in this in any immigration may not play that.
-- play as well there.
But then again they may oppose the president on -- in and help burnish their independent.
Record so they're they're the ones I think -- watch this year on and on a lot of the key issue.
Right now no we're gonna ask you now we're gonna keep checking in with you -- -- now and election date when he fourteen.
Give us your projection give us a trip he's fearless forecast.
For the shift in the senate what's gonna happen.
You know I have I really don't think there's going to be one and I think it'll stay pretty much status -- word is that -- good Democrat he's -- it -- diesel that fifth yeah this is the first.
-- -- -- -- Yeah right now I mean that's what I would say right now I mean obviously things we don't know he's actually dud get a really run against Mitch McConnell yeah.
Mean that can be bit.
No I mean I know that's a good place Chris these stranger things that could be it could be used it could be a -- it could be a wild year we could have overall though.
And that you you -- -- and Ashley Judd in the same rates -- -- did you know that America needs.
Rivera V Booker.
The the the trouncing in Trenton.
Is going to be too good.
And show that you weren't too good to make a little time for the Internet today.
And we are grateful to you now get that -- -- go enjoy yourself.
Thanks Chris always a pleasure have a great day.
-- right he's -- -- that question has been answered.
The question has been answered and it's like this.
Big Vinny has come forward to share his -- big ready 323 says there's lots of big cities in Brooklyn not New Jersey and I -- a little legend that.
But it's like I'm not in Jersey -- big -- say listen your answer and he's talking therein about the difference between Lou and Geithner.
What's the difference differences that's.
Tim Geithner is a creature of Wall Street.
And big banks in central banking in the Federal Reserve he's interested in monetary policy he's interested in how much money the Federal Reserve -- -- interest it and what.
Cash holdings position are disinterested in.
Financing stuff.
Credit and stuff like that Jack Lew is -- -- in.
Budget -- that's his bag he's -- -- fiscal issues and did it is a huge difference Tim Geithner doesn't care what's in the budget.
He just cares that there's enough money sloshing around in the financial sector for things to be okay.
By his way of thinking and he likes of the Fed pumping and all of those things and currency devaluation doubt about -- On the other side.
When you look at Lou this is a guy who is going to fight for he's going to engage in a vicious brutal fight.
With Republicans to preserve.
Federal spending.
At current levels and tried to reach the president's goal but spending even more borrowing and spending even more the only.
Or he cares about borrowing is the federal government borrowing and that he'll be the one.
He gets confirmed.
Whose -- is going on those bonds that give thought by the bank of China and stuff so I hope that.
Is a fair answer.
So here's what we're gonna do Internet we have lots of work to do with you but -- fun you'll enjoy it.
So I want you to.
Stick around.
And back.
Is what happens when February -- -- That is to say that it gets rainy.
It gives yucky -- it gets windy and it gets cold and that's the view from outside.
The world global headquarters of the power play empire there.
An avenue of the Americas in New York City.
And this is powered by coming to you from DC -- had a studio where it's quite nice and it's quite warm it's very pleasant and it's all the nicer and all the pleasant her more pleasant.
Because you're -- is here she is she -- for roll call she's Smart she's fair minded and she has a patient's mind -- welcome back.
Thank you -- -- back okay.
We have this inventory to sheer act of god.
The deal is we're new fox polls that came out and we have very good -- I love our -- is that Republican and Democrat detest each other's assumptions that.
Makes for very good point very accurate public.
I -- The the deal is this.
Fit the people -- are feeling better in December.
The former president got reelected if we're like hey you know this is getting better and then -- but now -- February funk.
-- and that's good -- this February -- is setting yet so let's start with the first one is the country today.
Or -- more powerful or weaker and less powerful than it was five years ago.
48% say weaker and less powerful this is a good example of the -- That's going on.
And it reflects president and this is true the quinnipiac poll this is true in our.
In our stuff.
The president is sort of back where he once he's he got a boost he got a reelection and inauguration boost it crested fifty was hanging out there for a second there has been in the -- Yeah exactly that was a very short honeymoon period he had thrown his second election and I think that was because you had this nasty legislative battle around new years voters ended -- poll respondents alike.
Back to see how the sausage is really -- and watched him and it wasn't pretty and I think that took control not only on the president's numbers.
But also on congress' numbers which were already -- this city yeah.
I'm glad we didn't ask the question should Washington be -- out.
Voted off into the ocean and reconstitute the capital in Pittsburgh.
OK so here's another poll -- that well but let's be fair.
You move the capital Pittsburgh -- would run.
They later in Detroit Pittsburgh it would take about four years before Pittsburgh was just if they're doing well.
That's that's exactly exactly it's know what -- in West Virginia but it's okay.
All right so your second poll that I want to show you President Obama says government doesn't have a spending problem do you think it does.
Yes it does say 83%.
And if the president there of course is not saying that he thinks that.
Deficits are fine by me he thinks they're fine right now what he's saying is.
Well we have to do currently is -- to invest.
And rebuild American infrastructure and invest in things John Boehner says you -- wrong we need to cut spending.
In order to grow the economy and it looks like folks are with the Republicans on this question.
Did indeed do what is this fort hell about what happens with the sequestration fight.
Great so it took sequestration fighter.
I don't know I didn't call it a fight -- it doesn't seem like anyone's even come to the -- any.
The yet.
Yelling they're yelling at each other -- Bleachers were basically so I wouldn't necessarily look to -- fight because it's just looking more likely that these cuts are gonna go into effect in May be in retrospect the restore some of the cuts after.
March 1 this is looking more and more likely she talked.
Members -- Capitol Hill I would look to.
No budget no pay what you're gonna go on there and also -- next debt ceiling fight a couple months later those are I think going to be the real spending issue battles.
And on the third hole I want to share with you what is more likely to strengthen the US economy cutting government spending.
Or increasing government spent 73%.
Say cut bill.
The president has laid down a big -- in his inaugural address I expect that we'll hear it in the state of the union when he says we need to invest we need to spend.
The -- and he -- and he wants to transform thinking on this this is the thinking as a long way to go to be transformed his -- right.
Right exactly here is sitting at home.
Average income average salary -- you see how much debt the government has.
Racked up for the last couple years I don't know how you can answer that question any other way Brett.
Great day I think it's very hard argument for the president to make and more -- also because he's going to be adding the act tax hikes as well to.
Lot of his proposals we saw this is one of the only things that's been put on the table for two voicing frustration.
By the president saying well we need to close tax loopholes we needed this and that and I don't know -- that's going to be quite palatable to the American public certainly the -- says -- The cat the tackling from the senate side.
The top of the capital seem to indicate that very very quite capital write anything here I need to -- little tackled it echoes Chirac.
We thank you and we look forward to solidarity with -- the Steelers experience -- building next year yes if the process the process Internet it's going to be hard.
Thank you here okay.
Internet about this.
Charles was on the panel last night that's your reality.
It's also your reality though that on the hunt Jonathan Hunt.
It's coming up next you.
And but rippled around us and for Jonathan Hunt which will delight you in -- and interest in ways I know that that is true district is good at what he does.
All right but before you get to the good stuff about some power points before election ago.
High ground are your Friday no -- our points today.
Number one.
Articles of faith so here's the thing in this fight over spending.
And this fight over taxes in the back and forth.
We've finally come to the clearest possible relief on the two ideological views in Washington.
Which is Republicans believe you cut to grow.
Democrats would you spend to grow.
And there we are it's never been -- and there isn't much middle ground on the subject.
This though.
These is that the second -- Americans agree.
For the very reason that -- just described is that in their own homes in their own personal lives.
They associate debt with being a very bad thing they see dead as a cancerous thing to their financial well being and they're not very likely to agree with president that that was a good time to add that because money's cheap and borrowing it and so on and so forth that means.
That the Republicans have the high ground.
On this question of the sequestration these automatic cuts one point two trillion dollars in cuts that are gonna go into effect.
That's spread out over ten years so don't get your Internet and a wad over this but the truth is that the Republicans at the tiger have people like the idea of cutting government they think -- spends too much and that's true for most Democrats do.
That is also true for Democrats -- this is a better -- for the Republicans than it was when they were doing.
The fiscal -- so here's the third -- point tick tick tick.
As this gets closer the president knows all of this is true -- seen polls like this he's seen all this stuff you watch.
He's starting out now asking for a tax increase by the time we get to the end he'll do -- -- he will do anything that he can.
To avoid this sequestration because he doesn't want the money to get sucked out of defense spending right away and hurt the economy.
It hit.
Heck he might even do some -- entitlements it's possible.
Think about it anyway -- nuclear power points.
Have a great weekend we'll see you back here on Monday.
As it is.

The Independent Oversight Program is implemented by the Office of Health, Safety and Security's (HSS) Office of Enforcement and Oversight. The mission of this program is to provide DOE line management, Congress, and other stakeholders with an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of DOE policy and line management performance in safety and security, and other critical areas as directed by the Secretary of Energy. The Office of Enforcement and Oversight performs this mission by conducting activity, facility, site, and Department-wide performance-based assessments that are designed to verify that the Department's safeguards and security interests are protected, that the Department can effectively respond to emergencies, and that Departmental employees, the public, and the environment are protected from hazardous operations and materials. These assessments complement line management's responsibility for security and safety program oversight and self-assessments. The outcome of these assessments are reports that provide information and analysis regarding the effectiveness, vulnerabilities, and trends in DOE safety and security programs, and identify issues requiring corrective action as well as recommended areas for improvement.
The Independent Oversight Program is described in and governed by DOE Order 227.1, Independent Oversight Program, and a comprehensive set of internal protocols, operating practices, inspector's guides, and process guides that are available through this website. The program is implemented by two subordinate offices: the Office of Security and Cyber Evaluations and the Office of Safety and Emergency Management Evaluations.
The Office of Security and Cyber Evaluations evaluates safeguards and security, including cyber security, policies and programs throughout the Department with special emphasis on the protection of special nuclear material and classified and sensitive information. A special feature of these evaluations is the degree to which the office employs performance-testing to gather and analyze data related to these programs. For example, the office performs large-scale force-on-force performance testing using highly-skilled teams as simulated adversaries, and performs both internal and external penetration testing using state-of-the-art techniques to challenge and probe computer network security. These capabilities comprise a unique resource within DOE.
The Office of Safety and Emergency Management Evaluations evaluates safety policies and programs throughout DOE with a particular emphasis on evaluating worker and public protection from nuclear hazards, which exist at many DOE sites. This office accomplishes its mission through two primary mechanisms; a network of staff site leads who are assigned to monitor the activities at DOE sites with nuclear facilities or activities and coordinate office assessment activities at those sites, and a program of targeted reviews that evaluate selected functional or topical areas at multiple sites across the DOE complex. Assessment activities are selected, prioritized, and planned based on such factors as risk to workers and the public, facility operational status, and performance history.
Assessment reports that do not contain classified or sensitive information are publicly available via the Reports link on the menu to the left side of this page. Individuals may request access to reports containing classified or sensitive information, but these reports will only be provided to individuals with the proper security credentials and/or a justified need for access. Additional information about the Independent Oversight Program and the two offices that implement this program is provided in the Appraisal Process Protocols and is also available from other links on this web site.
We hope that you find this information of value and encourage you to contact us with any questions you have about the program's objectives or its implementation.

DavidB. wrote:What led me to post about the Cirrus web site is not if the planes are any good or not, they look awesome.
I agree, and I'm also not trying to disparage the airplane. This thread got me interested in the Cirrus phenomenon, and a little google digging turns up a lot of interesting info. For one, Cirrus owners are a fiercely loyal bunch, which says something about the airplane. But there's also a lot of criticism out there about it's flying qualities, and specifically the spring loaded side yoke providing little airspeed feedback. It doesn't seem like a great system to me, but a pilot has to fly the airplane they're in. Kind of like the criticism of the Lancair IV series I guess; any airplane will punish you for improper airspeed management, especially down low. Preaching to the choir here, I know.
Cirrus has done a great job of attracting people to general aviation with a fresh, attractive, modern product. It will be interesting to see how the safety record of the ICON A5 plays out (if it's successful), as they are attempting to do the same thing, but at an even lower price point. If Cirrus tends to attract people with more money than sense (over generalization, I'm actually just jealous!), then what kind of crowd will the ICON attract? Me maybe?

text: My granddaughter loves these shoes. The fit is fantastic and they don't rub her heels, plenty of room in the toe. I have bought them in 2 sizes now as she doesn't want any other shoes. She outgrows them before they fall apart... And That is a wonderful quality in a shoe. My only complaint is that I can't get extra shoelaces. The shoes wash beautifully but the laces fall apart.

At one point they suggest maybe they shoulda called a married woman

Anybody wish to recall the terms used to describe the women who accused Clinton of indiscretions?
It's also quite amusing to read the comments sections of local newspapers, USAToday and just about any other news source. For people so "outraged" at the language Limbaugh used....well, they aren't exactly the champions of civil discourse.
Of course, for all the indignation that arises over this matter, Michelle Malkin talks from personal experience: The War on Conservative Women. A few threads here (often started by Chris) documenting "family values" failures of the right. I don't believe I've noticed any about the lack of civil discourse from the left directed against conservative women and, for that matter, conservative blacks.
Cathy wrote:"Not the words I would have chosen" In other words I agree with the overall message? What a bankrupt response! The overall message was vile. Read George Will's response.
Women are being galvanized by these responses.
ET do you believe Limbaugh's behavior was repugnant or not. Do you support Limbaugh and feel he has a right to say such vile things about a private citizen? Or ET do you want to say you agree with Limbaugh?
Dave Roberts wrote:ET, I hate to say this, but your argument sounds like one most of us tried to make to protect ourselves when we were children. We would go in and when a parent challenged or forbade us to do something, we would say, "But Johnny did it." "Susie's mom didn't stop her from using that word." The dog won't hunt that says that Limbaugh should get a pass on this. Frankly, I had never heard of the other examples toward Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann because the sources mentioned don't get much attention at all. Limbaugh is a different story. I'm not fond of their "poor choice of words" either.
Cathy wrote:It was not "two little words". Quit saying "two words" if you want anyone to take you seriously. He said the two words, he described her walking (not that he would know how she walks) and said why she walked that way, He insisted that she should send videos. And if he said it once in several cases he said it three times.
It was over three days. If you watch the videos he has on different shirts and it has been reported as three days in news articles. If I'm wrong maybe it was two. But I think I'm right about three days.
No we don't hide our base nature just because we don't talk on the radio. ET, you and I don't say anything that bad about anyone. I don't and I assume you don't. I don't even think that way about anyone. If I listened to Rush I might start thinking like that.
But I am relieved that you do think it was wrong and he deserved condemnation.
I think I am now signing off this topic.
Now that you have thrown everything and the kitchen sink at President Obama and it still hasn't worked you are panicking. Obama's approval ratings are still near 50% despite your best efforts to undermine the economy and America's recovery at every step you can. You tried to hold the American economy hostage to force America into default on its' debts, debts that YOU rang up under Bush, so you could blame it on Obama and it failed. You've used the filibuster more than any other Congress ever, going so far as to vote against providing health care access to 9/11 first responders. You remember 9/11, don't you, it's that thing you used to lie us into a war in Iraq, and then when Obama killed Bin Laden and ended the war in Iraq you told people that he hates America and wants the troops to fail. You monsters. You hate Obama with a passion, despite the fact that he is a tax cutting, deficit reducing war President who undermines civil rights and delivers corporate friendly watered down reforms that benefit special interests just like a Republican. You call him a Kenyan. You call him a socialist. You dance with your hatred singing it proudly in the rain like it was a 1950's musical.
Frankly, you disgust me. Your hatred nauseates me. Your bigotry offends me. Your racism revolts me.
Dear haters, I am openly questioning your patriotism.
I think you hate gays, Obama, black people, poor people, all of us, women, atheists and agnostics, Latinos, Muslims, Liberals, all of us, I think you hate every one who isn't exactly like you, and I think you hate us more than you love your country.
Neil Heath wrote:I haven't seen many things with as much hate directed toward people who hate. Sort of a pot and kettle thing, I guess, but the writer pretty much shot himself in the foot by stooping to the level he accused the other side of using. It was painful to read.
"Beginning in the 1960s, liberalism, once the home of many deep thinkers, began to substitute feeling for thought and descended into superficiality. One-word put-downs of opponents' ideas and motives were substituted for thoughtful rebuttal. Though liberals regard themselves as intellectual—their views, after all, are those of nearly all university professors—liberal thought has almost died. Instead of feeling the need to thoughtfully consider an idea, most liberal minds today work on automatic. One-word reactions to most issues are the liberal norm... Here is a list of terms liberals apply to virtually every idea or action with which they differ: Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Islamophobic, Imperialist, Bigoted, Intolerant. And here is the list of one-word descriptions of what liberals are for: Peace, Fairness, Tolerance, The poor, The disenfranchised, The environment. These two lists serve contemporary liberals in at least three ways. First, they attack the motives of non-liberals and thereby morally dismiss the non-liberal person. Second, these words make it easy to be a liberal—essentially all one needs to do is to memorize this brief list and apply the right term to any idea or policy... Third, they make the liberal feel good about himself—by opposing conservative ideas and policies, he is automatically opposing racism, bigotry, imperialism, etc. Examples could fill a book."

Buffalo (WBEN) -- Buffalo police have made an arrest in the beating of a 96-year-old man back in November.
Police have arrested Justice Feggans, 18, of Buffalo following the beating of Levi Clayton, 96, back on November 24th.
Mayor Byron Brown says it wasn't a random act of violence.
Feggans is a student at Riverside High School and a member of the school's basketball team.
Police commissioner Daniel Derenda says Feggans is charged with two counts each of 1st degree robbery and 1st degree burglary.
"At this time, the investigation continues. I cannot say a lot more about motive ... but the investigation at this point continues," Derenda said, speaking to reporters at Buffalo City Hall on Thursday.
Additional arrests are also possible, he added.
The victim, Clayton, is a deacon at Friendship Baptist Church and has been recovering at a rehabiliation facility ever since.
Video cameras at Clayton's home showed a group of young men entering the home on the night of the attack.

2009 Frankfurt Auto Show: Mini Coupe and Roadster Concepts
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
It may be Mini's 50th anniversary – marking the date that the famous British engineer Sir Alec Issigonis launched the original back in 1959 – but it's only been eight years since BMW relaunched the badge in its own image. And since then, the Mini line-up has expanded dramatically: the original hatch has since been joined by a convertible and the Clubman extended wagon, and there's a crossover utility version on its way. But in Frankfurt this year, Mini unveiled a pair of new concepts that have now been confirmed for production.
With a sportier, more aggressive profile than the iconic Minis on which they're based, the Coupe Concept and Roadster Concept hint at a pair of more performance-oriented two-seaters that will join the Mini range in the near future. The engines and mechanicals will likely carry over from the existing models, as will the lower halves of the bodies. But above the belt, it's all business, with more steeply raked windshields and a sloping roofline for the Coupe and a speedster-style rear deck for the Roadster. Production is already gearing up at the factory in Oxford, England, but it'll likely take a little while before these premium pocket rockets hit the market. In the meantime, we invite you to peruse our gallery of high-resolution photographs taken at the duo's unveiling in Frankfurt.

Response to the Louisiana Public Service Commission
Request for Comments on Consumer Protection,
Public Policy and Environmental Issues
Docket No. U-21453
Comment of the Staff of the
Bureau of Consumer Protection of
the Federal Trade Commission(1)
September 4, 1998
I. Introduction and Summary
The staff of the Bureau of Consumer Protection of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) appreciates this opportunity to respond to the Louisiana Public Service Commission's (LPSC's) public notice inviting comments on the consumer protection issues set forth in the LPSC Staff Review and Recommendation (LPSC Staff Review). Louisiana is among a number of states investigating whether regulatory reforms in the electric industry will bring the benefits of competition (lower prices, improved service, and innovation) to its citizens and businesses. These benefits, however, will not be realized without strong consumer policies in place that recognize the unique consumer issues involved in a competitive electric industry.
The FTC is an independent administrative agency responsible for safeguarding the interests of consumers and maintaining competition. The staff of the FTC has a longstanding interest in regulation of and competition in energy markets, and has submitted comments concerning competition issues to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as well as to the LPSC and other state regulatory bodies.(2) The staff actively monitors industry and legislative developments in the electric industry at the state and federal levels that will affect consumers' interests. The FTC's mission in this area includes attempting to ensure truth in advertising and to prevent and remedy unfair or deceptive trade acts or practices.
The LPSC's Staff Review correctly notes that no one can confidently predict the impact of electricity restructuring on Louisiana consumers. To minimize any adverse impact, however, this comment addresses two specific consumer protection topics: (1) educating consumers about the impact of electricity restructuring; and (2) regulation of electric service providers (ESPs), such as power marketers.(3) It is not the staff's intent to recommend policy decisions or outcomes in these particular areas, but rather to assist the LPSC in those consumer protection areas in which the staff has expertise.
II. Consumer Information Disclosures
Following deregulation of the electricity industry, advertising will be one of the primary sources from which consumers obtain information about the products they will choose to purchase. Advertising, however, does not always provide consumers with all the information they need to make an informed choice. In competitive electricity markets, consumers are likely to face a wide variety of price offers, contract terms, and environmental or service claims. Although providing consumers with choice and the opportunity to select terms that best meet their needs, competing offers may prove to be confusing, difficult to evaluate, or even misleading.
One approach to this problem is to standardize some of the information that ESPs disclose to consumers in their advertising -- similar to what has been done with nutrition labeling on food, care labels on clothing, or energy efficiency labels on appliances. In fact, consumers in an electricity competition pilot project in New Hampshire complained about the difficulty of comparing competing products when ESPs were allowed to present whatever information they chose about the product in any format they chose.(4) Standardized product labeling can alleviate this common consumer complaint.
Various regulatory groups have recommended developing appropriate uniform disclosure requirements as a means to facilitate customer choice, enhance customer protections, and enhance market efficiency.(5) Laws or regulations calling for some degree of mandatory uniform disclosures have been enacted in a number of states, including California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Other states are considering disclosure requirements as well. In addition, various bills introduced in Congress propose disclosure requirements, and on March 25, 1998, the Department of Energy announced a proposal for federal legislation that would include uniform labels for electricity. Although existing FTC laws and rules prohibiting unfair or deceptive claims would govern electricity advertising, uniform disclosures may provide an important additional consumer benefit in a new market where consumers have had no prior experience with choice.
Uniform disclosure, however, raises many difficult issues: for example, determining which types of information are important to consumers in choosing a supplier. Information that may be suitable for uniform disclosure includes price, price variability, environmental attributes of power supply (generation source and emissions characteristics),(6) and contract terms (minimum length, termination fees, transfer charges, etc.).
Another issue when mandating uniform disclosure rules is the format for disclosure of information. The chosen format should present information simply and clearly, and take a minimum of time to review and comprehend. A format that is overly restrictive, or that prohibits any additional claims, may place unconventional or innovative products at a competitive disadvantage. The California Energy Commission recently proposed a format for mandatory fuel source disclosures, and in January 1998, the National Council on Competition and the Electric Industry proposed "Uniform Consumer Disclosure Standards for New England," that included a sample label format.(7)
If disclosures are standardized, the LPSC must determine whether they will be mandatory (required of all marketers regardless of claims made) or claims-based (required of marketers only when certain claims are made). One consumer study suggests that when standard disclosures are provided by all marketers, consumers were more likely (1) to feel they had adequate information to make a choice, (2) to correctly identify the lowest priced product among several samples, and (3) to correctly identify the product with the least environmental impact among sample products.(8) If disclosures are mandatory, the LPSC may wish to consider allowing ESPs to use a "default" label, and to determine the default label's content.(9) Another consideration is the placement of standardized disclosures -- that is, whether they must appear only in advertising that gives consumers the opportunity to select an ESP, or in all print advertising, or whether some alternative form of disclosures should appear in small format print advertising and in non-print media.(10)
Each of these issues raises cost concerns as well. Disclosure requirements will impose costs on companies subject to them. The cost of tracking and maintaining the data necessary for the disclosure will vary depending on the type of information mandated and the degree of precision required for the information disclosed. It is likely that these costs, as well as the actual costs of making the disclosures, will be passed on to consumers. Therefore, the cost of requiring disclosures should be weighed against the benefit when making a policy decision.
III. Regulation of Electric Service Providers
The LPSC Staff Review highlights the importance of regulating ESPs that operate in a competitive environment. The staff recommends that the LPSC examine further the following five issues and determine how to treat them in order to safeguard consumer interests.
A. Billing, Credit and Collection Practices of Electric Service Providers
The LPSC Staff Review recognizes, and the experience from telecommunications deregulation has demonstrated, that consumer protection requires effective "anti-slamming" (changing a customer's service provider without prior authorization) provisions in a competitive retail electricity market. Provisions to address this problem may include requiring utilities to obtain independent confirmation from the customer before switching service; requiring that the consumer's authorization to change an ESP be in writing, with or without a prescribed form; requiring that a written contract be sent to the customer within a set number of days after any ESP change is made; and allowing customers the right to cancel contracts with an ESP within a short time after requesting a change.(11)
More recently, "cramming" also has become a concern in telecommunications -- that is, charging customers on their phone bill for products or services they have not purchased. Cramming often leaves the customer risking discontinuation of service if the bill is not paid and dealing with a company other than the seller to resolve disputes. The LPSC also might consider regulations or legislative recommendations to deal with this issue in a competitive electricity market in an attempt to forestall any potential problems.
The LPSC also may wish to review whether its credit and collection practice laws, for example, fair credit opportunities, credit reporting, and debt collection, will extend to ESPs. Credit and collection practices are particularly important in the sale of electricity, where companies may have the power to create significant obstacles to obtaining service, or to use disconnection of service as leverage in disputes. The LPSC should ensure that ESPs are subject to appropriate rules governing their ability to demand deposits or advances, to grant extensions of credit, and to order discontinuance of service for non-payment.
B. Customer Privacy Concerns
In June 1998, the FTC published "Privacy Online: A Report to Congress," dealing with privacy issues on the Internet.(12) The principles announced in that report, although examined in the online context, also may be applicable to the wealth of information that electric utilities and ESPs are likely to maintain about their customers. The report announces that "fair information practice principles" include:
(1) Notice/Awareness (consumers should be given notice of an entity's information practices before information is collected from them);
(2) Choice/Consent (consumers should be given a choice about how their information is used);
(3) Access/Participation (consumers should be able to view data about themselves and to challenge its accuracy and completeness);
(4) Integrity/Security (companies should take reasonable steps to assure and maintain the accuracy and timeliness of data and to prevent its loss and unauthorized use, access, destruction or disclosure); and
(5) Enforcement/Redress (consumers should have a mechanism for enforcement of privacy rights, whether self-regulatory, private or government action).
The LPSC may wish to consider applying these principles to ESPs operating in Louisiana to safeguard consumers' privacy.
C. Utility Affiliate Rules
If existing regulated utilities are allowed to continue selling electricity generation through subsidiaries or other affiliates, safeguards may be necessary to govern the ESP's advertising practices. Safeguards address the concern that an unregulated affiliate's use of its regulated parent utility's name or logo is a particularly difficult anticompetitive practice to police and may present the possibility for consumer deception. Both of these concerns were addressed extensively in the staff's recent comment to the Public Utility Commission of Texas.(13)
D. Licensing or Registration of ESPs
As part of regulating ESPs, the LPSC may wish to consider imposing a licensing or registration procedure to further safeguard consumers. Such programs can vary from requiring simple filing of basic information such as company name, address, telephone number, and registered agent information, to imposing fees, bonding requirements, access to books and records, and evidence of financial soundness.(14) A licensing or registration plan also may serve as a vehicle for enforcing standards of conduct imposed on ESPs in the state, including consumer protection standards, through forfeiture or prohibition on sales.(15)
E. Consumer Education
Consumer education is a vital consumer protection tool in a new retail market, and for the effective functioning of the electricity marketplace. Consumer surveys indicate that consumers' knowledge is very low about electricity usage, unit cost and fuel sources,(16) as well as about deregulation in general.(17) The FTC has not yet developed consumer education materials specifically for electricity, but has published generally applicable consumer materials, such as information on consumer credit and credit reporting, debt collection practices, and telemarketing. The LPSC may find it helpful, in any consumer education materials it may develop, to draw on or reference some of these general materials. The staff also would be pleased to assist in the development of new materials.
IV. Conclusion
Consumer protection issues in a newly deregulated industry, such as the electricity industry, play an important role in ensuring that consumers realize the full benefits of competition. Accordingly, we recommend that the LPSC consider implementing strong consumer protection measures in any regulations governing the competitive electricity industry, and that it do so as early in the deregulation/restructuring process as possible.

September 4, 1998
1. This comment represents the views of the staff of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. They are not necessarily the views of the FTC or of any individual Commissioner. Inquiries regarding this comment should be directed to Gina Schaar Howard by telephone at (202) 326-2982 or by e-mail at " firstname.lastname@example.com ."
2. The staff of the FTC has previously commented on electric power regulation to FERC in Docket No. PL98-5-000 (May 1, 1998), Docket Nos. ER97-237-000 and ER97-1079-000 (Feb. 6, 1998), Docket No. RM96-6-000 (May 7, 1996), Docket Nos. RM95-8-000 and RM94-7-001 (Aug. 7, 1995). The staff of the FTC has submitted comments to the LPSC in two aspects of this proceeding, including stranded costs and benefits (Aug. 3, 1998) and market power issues (May 15, 1998). In addition, FTC staff has submitted comments to the National Association of Attorneys General (Aug. 10, 1998) (green guides for electricity marketing claims); Michigan Public Service Commission, Docket No. U-11290 (Aug. 7, 1998); West Virginia Public Service Commission, Case No. 98-0452-E-GI (July 15, 1998); Commonwealth of Virginia, Joint Subcommittee Studying Electric Industry Restructuring, SJR-91 (July 9, 1998); the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Project Number 17549 (affiliate transactions) (June 19, 1998); the Maine Department of the Attorney General and Public Utilities Commission, "Interim Report on Market Power in Electricity" (May 29, 1998); the California Public Utilities Commission, Docket Nos. R.94-04-031 and I.94-04-032 (Aug. 23, 1995); and the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council (Feb. 28, 1994).
3. The staff of the Bureau of Consumer Protection raised the same issues in a comment filed previously with the Utah Public Service Commission. This comment can be accessed through the FTC's website < www.ftc.gov/be/advofile.htm > (V980016).
4. "Information Disclosure for Electricity Sales: Consumer Preferences from Focus Groups," Regulatory Assistance Project (March 19, 1997). A copy can be obtained from the Regulatory Assistance Project's website < www.rapmaine.org >.
5. The National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) adopted a resolution in March 1997 supporting "the establishment of appropriate and adequate consumer safeguards [in] . . . the restructured retail electricity marketplace," including uniform disclosures in plain language of "price, duration of contract, quantities, and other material terms." The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and the New England Governors' Conference, Inc. also have issued resolutions supporting states' adoption of mandatory, uniform disclosure standards (NARUC in November 1996 and the Governors' Conference on June 3, 1997).
6. The feasibility of requiring disclosure of fuel source may depend on availability of tracking mechanisms through which sources of supply may be substantiated and verified. Likewise, reasonably reliable data for emissions must be available to substantiate any required disclosures. Other questions would be whether fuel source and emissions data would be based on historical or projected information, and the degree of precision required for such data.
7. The California proposal is available on the California Energy Commission's website <www.energy.ca.gov>; the New England proposal is available on The Regulatory Assistance Project's website < www.rapmaine.org/disclose.html >. The FTC staff takes no position on the merits of these proposals; they are referenced for information purposes only.
8. "Label Testing: Results of Mall Intercept Study," National Council on Competition and the Electric Industry (April 1998). A copy of this report can be obtained from the National Council on Competition and the Electric Industry's website <eetd.lbl.gov/nationalcouncil/publications.html>.
9. For ESPs that do not wish to incur the expense of maintaining and substantiating information for the label, the LPSC may wish to allow ESPs to report system average information or to indicate that ESP-specific information is not being supplied.
10. For example, some contract terms may be more suitable for required disclosure in a contract document, whereas in advertising, it may be advisable to require that only the one or two most important terms be disclosed.
11. For example, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts have enacted anti-slamming provisions in their electricity restructuring legislation. See Cal. Pub. Util. Code § 366.5; 815 ILCS § 505/2EE; Mass. Ann. Laws, Ch. 164 § 1F(8)(a).
12. The FTC's Privacy Online Report is available from the FTC's website <www.ftc.gov/privacy/reports.htm>.
13. This comment can be accessed from the FTC's website www.ftc.gov/be/ advofile.htm . (V980013)
14. In designing a registration or licensing scheme, the cost and time required for an ESP to become registered or licensed should be reasonably limited, to avoid barriers to market entry and increased prices passed through to consumers.
15. The California PUC, in February 1998, obtained a consent order against Boston-Finney, a registered electric service provider that was charged with operating an allegedly illegal multi-level marketing scheme, with allegedly dishonest, fraudulent and deceptive practices, and with lacking the financial and operational capabilities to provide service. The order required Boston-Finney to cease operations and effectively put the company out of business in California.
16. Winneg, et al., "Summary Report: Baseline Survey -- Consumer Knowledge, Practices and Attitudes, Electric Utility Deregulation and Consumer Choice," National Council on Competition and the Electric Industry (Jan. 1998).
17. Edison Electric Institute public opinion research for California (Sept. '97), Maine (July '97), Massachusetts (July '97), Vermont (July '97), Connecticut (July '97), Rhode Island (July '97), New Hampshire (July '97), Illinois (March '98), and Missouri (April '98).

Maintenance Free
The BodySpa will never require maintenance or upkeep, making it completely easy to care for.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Showerheads are guaranteed for life never to clog because the internal components are constructed using Delrin, which prevents mineral deposits, lime, and scale buildup.
Cost Effective
Because our showerheads last forever, require no maintenance, and are designed to conserve 30-70% of water and energy used by traditional showerheads, there is no better option for the RV owner that wants a cost effective solution. The affordable price helps too!
Self Pressurizing
The patented technology uses a self pressurizing design to increase spray velocity to produce a sensational experience even with low water pressure. This gives the user an invigorating clean-rinsing shower - anytime, anyplace.
Gets the Job Done
Water is energized and texturized with oxygen, speeding up the flow of the water and allowing for a clean rinsing shower. Shampoo and soap are thoroughly and quickly rinsed out.
Customize the Flow
The new SmartPause valve allows you to pause water flow to a trickle with the push of a button. Helping you save water while lathering up and rinsing off.
Health Benefits
The Oxygenics technology increases oxygen content in the water by up to 10 times! The oxygen helps to purify the water by creating negatively charged ions that counter damaging free radicals. The result? Rejuvenated, younger looking skin.
