When Scott Brown stunned the Massachusetts establishment, some state Democrats said it was time to hit the panic button. But I didn’t know they meant that literally.
According to yesterday’s Herald, Boston City Hall has been testing ePanicButton software. “[City] workers would be able to hit a button on their computer or push a pedal on the floor to summon help if an angry taxpayer storms into City Hall or if someone arguing a parking ticket gets out of hand,” the Herald reported."

THE FREEDOM POST: Larry Summers Says Raising Taxes Creates Jobs
THE FREEDOM POST: Larry Summers Says Raising Taxes Creates Jobs:
It's no wonder the economy is in the tank. How can taking more money from American families and businesses (also know as the productive, private sector), and giving it to government bureaucrats (also known as the unproductive, wasteful, 'rat-hole' sector), create jobs? This is almost as ridiculous as Obama's V. P., Joe Biden, saying that 'we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt'.
On February 9th, Obama's senior economics adviser, Larry Summers, appeared on FOX Business to discuss the President Obama’s economic plan, which includes future tax increases, record spending, and record deficits (even after accounting for the tax increase which is very disturbing in itself). Summers, contending that increased taxes reduces unemployment said, “Almost all economists who studied these things have that kind of view.” He can't be serious, can he?"

Feds push for tracking cell phones | Politics and Law - CNET News:
Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the 'Scarecrow Bandits' that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves.
FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists, and that those phones belonged to men named Tony Hewitt and Corey Duffey. A jury eventually convicted the duo of multiple bank robbery and weapons charges."

Americans no longer remember the concept of the 'business cycle.' For centuries, market economies have periodically turned down, and then turned back up. The recovery from such downturns is natural for a market economy. Every morning, at least some of the unemployed get up and look for work. Businessmen wake up and spend the day trying to restore their businesses to prosperity. As a result, market economies naturally come back to recovery. This is why the average recession in the U.S. since World War II has been only 10 months, with the longest, until now, being 16 months."

As a result, the Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas, a five-star resort, will cease operations in May according to CNNMoney.Com. 'It's nothing the hotel did. It's a simple lack of business and a decline in the tourism industry,' said Ritz-Carlton spokeswoman Vivian Deuschl."

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told CNSNews.com that spending $787-billion economic stimulus package that Congress rushed to pass in February “too quickly” during Fiscal Year 2009 would have created “fraud and waste,” and that a reasonable rate of spending was required because the “recession wasn’t going to go away” immediately."

Immutable law of Beltway political physics: The only real jobs that a government stimulus stimulates are government jobs. A year after President Obama signed his first almost trillion-dollar economic stimulus package into law, the federal workforce is at an all-time high. The nation’s unemployment rate has swelled to 9.7 percent, but Washington’s economy is thriving."

American Thinker: An Obamageddon Snow Job
As I sat here scanning today's many news stories and as usual, got whiplash....
I saw where "they" announced Cap & Trade dead....then...alive!
I saw there would be no new Stimulus Package, then...there would...but no, it's a Job's Bill....?....it's alive!
Then the Health Care behemoth....it's dead, wait....NO!...it's alive...!!!!
I feel each day I'm watching news emanate from Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory!
"It's Alive!!!" He cried....!!! No, not the good doctor, but Obama himself.
Each time we think these are going away, or dead.....they pop up again.
As I watched the "Big Bank Theory" last week - Sheldon, the braniac of the bunch, went off the proverbial deep end trying to deal with an onslaught of esoteric theories ( sound familiar?) and surfed under the ball cage at a Chucky Cheese knock-off.
Every once in a while he'd burst through the colored balls yelling BAZINGA! Then submerge again only to pop up 10 feet down wind once again championing BAZINGA!!! His friend tried to stop him, only to be met with one explosion after another of colored balls and cries of BAZINGA!
That's what it feels like trying to watch the Obama Administration....
As tired as we all are....We MUST stay the course.
We MUST stay on top of this....we can't let THEM Yell BAZINGA! Because when they do, it's because they have won....and that will be a great loss to America!
American Thinker: An Obamageddon Snow Job:
A snow job is defined as in 'intensive effort at persuasion or deception.' Thus, it stands to reason that Barack Obama remained undaunted during the biggest blizzard to hit Washington, D.C. since 1922. The historic snowstorm brought down the nation's capital, culminating a year-long 'snow job' administered by 'historic' President Barack Obama."

What a perfect day to announce the formation of a new federal agency to study and report on global warming."

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Tuesday used the D.C. snowstorm to make a political jab, saying that it provides evidence for global warming skeptics.
The conservative senator took to Twitter on Tuesday amid reports that the area is due to receive another 10 to 20 inches of snow this week:
It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries 'uncle'
Some conservatives have echoed DeMint's sentiments that the snowstorm should poke holes in evidence backing global warming."

NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.
Earlier snowmelt? That would be nice."

The president tells us, with a straight face, that his grossly irresponsible profligate wastrel of a predecessor took the federal budget on an eight-year joyride, so the only way his sober, fiscally prudent successor can get things under control is to grab the throttle and crank it up to what Mel Brooks in Spaceballs (which seems the appropriate comparison) called 'Ludicrous Speed.'"
