Networks on Geithner's Tax Evasion: A "Speed Bump"

I remember Joe the Plumber hitting a similar speed bump when he was being vetted for ~~Secretary of Defense~~ ~~Undersecretary of the Navy~~ ~~Commandant of Pearl Harbor~~ "seriously thinking" of buying a Sea-Doo.

Thanks to CJ.

20 Look, the one political person in the country we know isn't corrupt? Sarah Palin...the media investigated her to the point of ridiculousness. The one political person in the country the media ( all of it) and the political class hates. Sarah Palin. I'm not so naive to think that a coincidence. Maybe Palin is or isn't the next big thing...time will tell. But any political person that shows up who isn't a complete greed bag felon the media and the rest of the politcal class ( same thing) will despise.

147 There is some good news about the news

The Gannett Company, the nation�s largest newspaper publisher, said on Wednesday that it would force thousands of its employees to take a week off without pay in an effort to avoid layoffs.

Gannett, which owns 85 daily newspapers across the United States including its flagship USA Today, said it could not say exactly how many people would be required to take time off, or how much money the company would save. But it said it would require unpaid leave for most of its 31,000 employees in this country.

Also on Wednesday, USA Today notified its staff of a one-year pay freeze for all employees.

Bye bye Pravda.

I also suspect some shenanigans in the best pet category as that cute overloaded place managed to shore up something like 4000 votes in the last 24-36 hours of voting over the hilarity of FuckYou Penguin that was slaughtering the rest of them (i happened to find a screenshot where somone was counting the votes at certain time intervals).

Have no fear, God is clearly looking out for America!

How else can you explain that:

a) without even the most perfunctory investigation of his background by the media, which was otherwise engaged, we have elected to the highest office in the land, the only non-corrupt politician in Chicago, and...

b) just as the First Lady To Be was needed in DC, the critical $300K job at the U. of Chicago Hospital, for which she was so over-qualified that it made no sense at all to hold a competition was held for it, has just now become so completely fulfilled as to become redundant?!

Wow. Like I said, God is looking out for America! I wonder what He is trying to tell us?

Old joke about God:

Tom lives in a one story house and it's been raining for days. The river has flooded and the rising waters force Tom to take refuge on the roof and he prays for help. Moments later, a rescue team pulls up and asks if he needs help.

"No thanks," Tom says, "God is coming to help me."

The water keeps rising and a National Guard helo finds him and they ask if he needs help. Tom says no, "I have faith that God is coming to save me."

Tom drowns in the flood waters and when he gets to Heaven he asks God, "Why didn't you save me?"

God responds, " I sent a boat and a helicopter, what more did you want?"

161 Ginger, I'm kind of hoping that the liberal media bailout is the straw that breaks the camel's back. TARP might still seemed justified in the "avoid Greater Depression" sense. The auto bailout (which is a subset despite the lack of legal justification) can be thrown in with "buy American" nostalgia. But 'loan' money to journalists? Last I heard, their approval rating was somewhere between Congress and my Governor.

177 Circa, I was playing with a Biblical quotation. I have no idea what the roar is and I'm not claiming too, just referring to some comments the other night. Like referencing the 7th trumpet. I kind of think that the events prophecied in Revelation will be too obvious to miss (Oceans turning to blood=explosive algae growth? Fire, ice and blood falling from the sky=9/11?).

If somebody starts claiming that the roar is giving them instructions from the Almighty, I'm going to avoid them. I'm pretty sure everything I need to know re:God is in His Word. Or, as the other guys were saying, the part of my conscience that isn't mine.

The alien death ray is the product of everything and their second cousin lining up in December of 2012, right?
