HBO has the rights to the Lincoln Memorial concert. They are making it available online (and possibly through cable outlets).

Dang, the list of visitors leads me to think, the A&E
History, Discover channel will get my business today.
While I read this thread from a lurkers vantage point.
Folks this morning the news channels are reporting (CNN, FNC) along with CNBC during the week, that the federal government (fed? congress?) is wanting to set up a toxic asset bank to buy up all the toxic assets.
This toxic bank should be called the Barney Frank Mortgage Fraud Memorial Bank. All these toxic assets can be directly traced to the abolishment of “redlining” which banks used to not lend in bad neighborhoods.
A toxic bank will also be used for political favors. Those with political connections will have their debt favorably handled. Doubt it? Just look at Senator Dodd and his sweetheart Fannie loan.
If this is done, the fraud (see CRIMINAL oversight should be maximum).
This also means ANY debt that goes into default due to forclosure, bankruptcy or just nonpayment will be dumped onto the taxpayer without our consent.
Looks like a rare chance to see a couple of the crime family bosses on nat. tv.
"Why does any Democrat vote for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House?"
"Why was Timothy Geithner audited in the first place?" (It's not that common to be audited by the IRS - how many people do you personally know who have been audited?? There had to be some reason for him to be on the list, unless of course you believe that lightning struck and a purely random audit turned up a tax cheat.)
"When Gitmo is closed, which part of this country do you think should welcome the detainees into the neighborhood?"
"If the Illinois Senate seat should have been solved with a special election, why aren't you promoting a special election to replace the Governor after the impeachment? After all, don't we all know that is a done deal?"
Morning all,
Nancy Pelosi....what’s it like to live life being one big liar?
Good day, life is fine, husband and I are alive.
Can’t wait for the coronation next week.
Below, a link and synopsis to my thoughts for this week just passed.
On a lighter note, we have a cat terrified of a bedspread and a miracle of a plane crash. The government rescued but a few except the government DID make the pilot take a drug test. Sure it’s procedure but it’s so low, just so low.

Nasty Pelousy: Boy are her lips moving today!
F&F had their A Team on this morning. Funniest Sunday morning in a long while.
From the wild eyed cyclist pedaling into frigid D.C. wearing his Obama t-shirt, to Bruce Springsteen, Bono, et al wearing scarves over their mouths during concert rehearsal (and how do you play a guitar in freezing weather?), to the Obama silhouette tatoos.
LOL!
Ms Pelosi is not in the Fox studio. I guess she is too important to be available on a Sunday morning.
She is using all of her favorite words and signifying the same-ol’ same-ol’ tap dance.
Wallace challenged her on the practicality of raising taxes on anyone in such desperate times, and she rattled off a quote of someone that Bush’s tax cuts “for the rich” did more to bring on the deficit that anything else.
SHE is either lying to herself or she is stupid.
So — she lies to herself!
Another lie before I hit post on this -—
She wishes that President Bush had been more bi-partisan and reached out to democrats, as this president is doing!
I have to go throw up after typing this.
This will be a historic Coronation, er, Inauguration all right.
It's always a singular occasion when the world's oldest democratic republic (of it's own volition) turns from it's historic Constitutional roots of freedom, liberty, justice, and good governance to joyfully plunge headlong into the toilet.
May the Lord have mercy on us...
Regarding Pelosi -
I was at a Congressman Duncan D. Hunter gathering last evening, and he spoke about the first day of this session of Congress.
Duncan and his children were in the back and Pelosi called the children to the front. His daughter runs up to be with her and his little son, Duncan, asks why. Duncan D. says, “She must be a Democrat.” Little Duncan asks if he has to go up, and Duncan D. says, “No.” Little Duncan says, “Thank God!”
Maybe.

Donna Brazile just said Obama is the first African to lead the nation and George S. showed a pained expression wanting to correct but deciding not to.
Here’s an interesting observation...she says ever so modestly.
Rush Limbaugh took a call this past Friday I think. The lady was questioning what was going to happen if the Messiah closed Guantanamo. Rush vehemently asserted that IT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.
Well I tend to agree with Rush on this as while the American public is busy carrying this country on our backs while raising the citizens and soldiers of tomorrow, once we come up for air and find out the Dems have loosed a bunch of terrorists on our soil they will get mad, even the fools who voted for Obama.
But TODAY, the Messiah’s new press secretary said, I think on Fox’s morning show but I heard it repeated just now on CNN, that Barack recently discussed at a policy meeting how to go about closing GITMO.
Now folks, I for one do not think this is a coincidence. I think this direct and pointed reference to discussions about closing Guantanamo is a quiver sent directly to Rush Limbaugh and that Friday discussion.
So hey, could Barack really be closing Gitmo, something that like I said will put him in the crapper with the American people, or is he just holding off his liberal base with promises he has no intention of fulfilling, like he tends to do so often?
