4 to 8 inches of snow may blanket Washington, D.C., areaBy Sholnn Freeman Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, December 18, 2009 A winter storm is expected to dump significant amounts of snow across much of the Washington region this weekend, with the first flakes starting as early as Friday night. The storm, which developed along the Gulf Coast, is expected to bring four to eight inches or more of snow to the Washington region. Meteorologists said it will reach the area after hammering the western part of Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountains. In Washington and along the East Coast,...

Illusions and bitternessDecember 16, 2009, 5:42 pm There’s enormous disappointment among progressives about the emerging health care bill — and rightly so. That said, even as it stands it would take a big step toward greater security for Americans and greater social justice; it would also save many lives over the decade ahead. That’s why progressive health policy wonks — the people who have campaigned for health reform for years — are almost all in favor of voting for the thing. The argument about the evil of the individual mandate is,as Jon Cohn says, all wrong. It was wrong during...

Fidel Castro says Obama's smile can't be trustedMon Dec 14, 2009 7:31pm EST HAVANA (Reuters) - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro warned on Monday that President Barack Obama's "kindly smile" could not be trusted, saying Washington was plotting against leftist Latin American governments including Venezuela's. Castro, 83, who ran Cuba for nearly 50 years before poor health led him to hand the presidency to his younger brother Raul last year, initially welcomed Obama's election but has been increasingly critical. In a letter read by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at a gathering of leftist leaders in Havana, Castro said the United...

Obamas Won't Celebrate Christmas A survey of adult Americans finds that an overwhelming majority prefer the seasonal expression "Merry Christmas." More than seven out of ten, in fact. Twenty-two percent, according to Rasmussen Reports, go for "Happy Holidays." However, the Obamas, who won't spend their first December holidays in the White House, apparently don't like either one. The Obamas have just mailed thousands of greeting cards that say simply, "Season's Greetings." They're cream-colored, maroon-bordered cards showing a gold wreath wrapped around the presidential coat of arms. The Obamas' card, paid for by the Democratic National Committee, makes no religious reference...

Obama on Job CreationBy Dirk van Dijk, CFA On 4:13 pm EST, Tuesday December 8, 2009 **SNIP** "Now, partly as a result of these and other steps, we are in a very different place today than we were one year ago. We may forget, but we're in a very different place. We can safely say that we are no longer facing the potential collapse of our financial system and we've avoided the Depression many feared. Our economy is growing for the first time in a year, and the swing from contraction to expansion since the beginning of the year is...

Mo. schools complain over supplies with Obama logoOriginally published Monday, December 7, 2009 at 12:46 PM The Associated Press COLUMBIA, Mo. - Several Missouri schools are complaining about notebooks and pencils with designs similar to the logos from President Barack Obama's campaign. The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that complaints from unhappy officials at three Missouri schools have prompted the supply company responsible for the materials to travel across the state recalling notebooks and pencils. The design at issue includes a picture of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Above the coins is the phrase: "CHANGE" and underneath it reads: "WE CAN...

Pedal-powered Christmas tree lights CopenhagenBy Martin LaMonica, CNET News.com Tuesday, December 01, 2009 01:00 PM When you're the host city for international climate change negotiations, using energy-efficient LED lights on the Christmas tree apparently isn't enough. The traditional Christmas tree in Copenhagen's City Hall Square will be powered by people, rather than a distant power plant. The square has been equipped with 15 bicycles which, when pedaled, light up the 700 LED bulbs on the tree. The 17-meter-high tree went up last week during an opening ceremony in which Saint Nicholas climbed a fire truck ladder to the top of...

U.S. urges Americans to help feed their neighborsTue Nov 24, 2009 6:15pm EST By Jasmin Melvin WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government on Tuesday urged Americans to volunteer to help feed their neighbors, noting that almost 15 percent of the country's households had a hard time getting enough to eat last year. Every American can chip in to fight hunger, the Agriculture Department said as it unveiled the Obama Administration's new Feed a Neighbor initiative, encouraging activities such as volunteering time at local food banks, helping the elderly get fresh produce, and planning ways to feed children who depend on...

Obama Quietly Backs Patriot Act ProvisionsWilliam Fisher NEW YORK, 23 Nov (IPS) - With the health care debate preoccupying the mainstream media, it has gone virtually unreported that the Barack Obama administration is quietly supporting renewal of provisions of the George W. Bush-era USA Patriot Act that civil libertarians say infringe on basic freedoms. And it is reportedly doing so over the objections of some prominent Democrats. When a panicky Congress passed the act 45 days after the terrorist attacks of Sep. 11, 2001, three contentious parts of the law were scheduled to expire at the end of next month,...

Obama administration will not sign land mine banBy DESMOND BUTLER, Associated Press Writer Tuesday, November 24, 2009 15:06 PST WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration has decided not to sign an international convention banning land mines. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said Tuesday that the administration recently completed a review and decided not to change the Bush-era policy. "We decided that our land mine policy remains in effect," he said. More than 150 countries have agreed to the Mine Ban Treaty's provisions to end the production, use, stockpiling and trade in mines. Besides the United States, holdouts include: China, India,...

Reality Check: The "Rationing" Smear... Again?Posted by Dan Pfeiffer November 20, 2009 at 03:03 PM EST When people use arguments they know are bogus, it's probably because they know they don't have any valid arguments at their disposal. So it would seem with opponents of reform in the Senate spending today obsessed with arguments about "rationing" that were debunked months ago. Their attacks are focused on the fact that the legislation supports research into what treatments work best for patients. Before we go any further, let's just say this as plainly as possible: Under health insurance reform, this research cannot...

Obama willing to go to Copenhagen for climate dealBy: Associated Press Monday, Nov. 9, 2009 WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Monday that he’d be willing to attend an international climate summit in Copenhagen next month if it appears a deal is in the offing and his presence there would help clinch it. Nations are preparing to meet in Denmark to hammer out a new international treaty to slow climate change, but the talks have been hampered by disputes between rich countries and developing ones. “If I am confident that all of the countries involved are bargaining in good faith...

Memo to ABC: There's a Reason He's Not Called Smith By C. Edmund Wright Diane Sawyer - either espousing her editorial fantasy or a quoting a third hand comment from an anonymous "military wife" -- was dreadfully upset that the mass murderer from Fort Hood was not named Smith. One can only imagine how thrilled she'd have been had he been named something like, oh I don't know, Palin. From what I can deduce, had his name been Smith it would be much easier for the Diane Sawyers of the Jurassic media to cover up what they fear really went...

I got caught up in some traffic on I-66W and I tuned in to WTOP for a traffic report. Instead, WTOP reporter Nathan Roberts was talking to some General who kept referring to sailors in the Coast Guard as "Coast Guarders". Nathan Roberts was clearly trying to convince everyone that not only was Hasan's religion not a factor, but also it wasn't even certain that he was the shooter since he stressed that Hasan was only the "alleged" shooter.

It's not just that she's been whittled down by the Obama White House, where there can be only one One. **SNIP** She was asked if it's true she is a hawk on Afghanistan. "No, I don't think so," she responded, rejecting labels without saying anything meaningful about our policy in a country where we have 68,000 troops and the debate is whether to send more.
