The Letterman segment points to exactly why AM Joe sucks. Holier than thou Mika is outraged and is sure there is a scandal and more to the story, even tho the only “facts” she has are the ones she read off her teleprompter.

Mika is on a campaign to stop all the lovin’ that offends her high falutin’ Village standards. Letterman is not nearly as funny as Stewart or Leno. But Dave never pretended to be a role model. Mika wants an investigation. “The company will have to look into that.”

If that self appointed head of the Absolute Virtuous Moral Police gets her way, we will all be investigated.

Please Dave, start doing jokes about Mika. It will help the ratings.

People will look back on this age a few centuries from now and admire how we got our minds off of who put what in whom and focused instead with laser intensity on saving our natural inheritance, controlling our numbers, eliminating insecurity over food, water and health, assuring justice, and regaining our sanity. Or not.

From the news story:

“You don’t often think of a small town and someone selling anti-tank ordnances,” said Lt. Tom Lankford, with the Paris Police Department.

Funny, that’s EXACTLY where I think of someone selling weapons…

Didn’t the guy who had the job before Morning Joe get fired for some racial or sexual comment? So they replace him with Morning Joe the guy who had a female die in his Congressional office under strange circumstances.
Now Mika Joe’s partner who claims to be a Liberal, but nobody else thinks so is going after Letterman.
Why because Joe can’t he has to many unexplained skeleton’s in his closet (literally) to attack Letterman on this subject.
Whats next Pat Buchanan attacking someone as a Racist?

Mornin’, BT, pups

Krugman this morning:

But while not having another depression is a good thing, all indications are that unless the government does much more than is currently planned to help the economy recover, the job market — a market in which there are currently six times as many people seeking work as there are jobs on offer — will remain terrible for years to come.

Been in a Bank of America lately? The jobs shed by the scam financial industry aren’t coming back. 13,000 will lose their jobs when GM sheds Saturn. Are all these folks gonna get jobs in the war industry, assembling war toys in the country’s largest manufacturing sector? Toys designed to kill brown people.

How’re they gonna pay their bills, she wanted to know.

The Bill of Rights. #2, is about a State Militia.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I think that the “Confederate constitution” did not have a “Bill of Rights”.

Sorry Frank33, I’m not avoiding your questions, I just pop in and out rather than linger on the site. Weren’t these yesterdays questions? Kind of makes you look like a stalker.

Anyway,
1) no
2) no
3) Hawaii, as far as I know.
4) yes

Of course not, how would I?

The only ones I know for sure are my kids, cause I was there.

I don’t even know where I was born, although I’ve been told.

Once again, I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’m not a ridiculous birther.

I’ve seen images of birth certificates on the web from Hawaii and Kenya and who knows where else.

I would hope it’s someone’s responsibility to check these sorts of things, but it’s not mine. That’s why I believe Hawaii, as far as I know.

My husband took me to hear Amy when she came to Columbus. Then he bought a copy of her book, put me in the line to have it signed by Amy. When Amy finished signing it, Mr. Klynn said, “Thanks Amy.” He then opened the dedication page of the book. Had me read it and said, “Happy Mother’s Day!”

Amy beamed and said, “Couldn’t think of a better Mother’s Day present. You made my day.”

Why is Alan Grayson, a bland, uncharismatic plain speaker, the hottest congressman on Capitol Hill? Because, unlike everyone else, he’s interested in doing his job and won’t back down after telling the truth.

In other words, he’s a hero just for doing his job.
