The universe is in balance again. Bowser has someone to play with again.
Unfortunately her name was “Queenie” so I’m calling her Neena or Nee Nee. One of the problems with a rescue dog.
As I said the other day, Evil is being threatened by Good through the Tea Party, and Glenn Beck. Evil despises Truth. It shrinks hideously from the Godly. The more Americans who confess their sins, and turn from their wicked ways, the weaker Evil becomes. The Ten Commandments must prevail in order that America as we’ve known her, survives.
Prayers, Sparkster.
Hi all.
Am considering BeckFear by the WH as part of my payback for head space occupied in the ‘Administration’ goons’ heads. Infinitesimal payment to me for their treasonous behavior, fraud, extortion, impeachability and outright LIES.
Bless you and thank you. It’s still a tough road to plow.
Shirley, your attorneys are on line one! Crowell & Moring, perhaps?

97cv01978). In response, lawyers from the Pro Bono Com- mittee and the firms of Arnold & Porter and Crowell & Moring recruited some of Washington’s largest law firms: Covington & Burling; Sidley, Austin, Brown & Wood; Step- toe & Johnson; Swidler, Berlin, Shereff & Friedman; and Wilmer, Cutler, and Pickering. The district court, recogniz- ing the competing demands on class counsel arising out of their representation of multiple claimants in both tracks and at various stages of the claims resolution process, hoped that this added assistance would lift the “heavy burden of Track B litigation from the shoulders of Class Counsel,” enabling them to “focus on the petition [for monitor review] process.” Pig- ford, 143 F. Supp. 2d at 30 n.1.

Government Announces $1.25 Billion Settlement in Black Farmer Litigation
EXCERPT
Crowell & Moring partner Andrew Marks, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he looks forward to working with the administration to ensure the necessary funding is provided. “We are very pleased that we have been able to reach a settlement that will at long last provide meaningful relief to tens of thousands of black farmers who were the victims of decades of race discrimination by the government,” Marks said.

Then in February, the farmers and the Obama administration reached a settlement to pay out an additional $1.15 billion, and President Obama, who co-sponsored the 2008 measure as a senator, included the money in his proposed budget for the 2011 fiscal year.
The amount each farmer will receive will not be determined until all the claims have been vetted, said Andrew Marks, a lawyer with Crowell & Moring in Washington, one of the firms representing the farmers. Some 30,000 claims have been filed, he said, and lawyers expect a “significant” number of additional claims.
In the 1999 settlement, successful plaintiffs filing basic claims received $50,000 tax free. The money is half what the farmers sought, but the administration’s promise of a quick resolution prompted them to accept the deal, Mr. Boyd said.
Congress missed a March 31 deadline set by the administration to provide financing, which would have allowed payments to start by the summer of 2011.
The farmers agreed to give the government an extension through May 31. The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a bill that includes the settlement.
The settlement has strong support across party lines, but some lawmakers are worried that the bill’s costs have not been offset by corresponding cuts in spending.
If Congress misses another deadline, the farmers can withdraw from the settlement, which most are reluctant to do.
Mr. Boyd suggested that Mr. Obama circumvent Congress and pay farmers out of the same special Treasury Department fund used to pay Pigford claims.
So far, Mr. Obama has deferred to Congress. Some farmers have speculated that the president is shying away from the issue because it involves race. The White House said that was untrue.
“The president’s approach to this is not based on the color of skin but because of what is right,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.
Queenie sounds like:
Geenie
Beanie
Wienie
come on, everyone, join in and rename the rescue dog!
Woodrow Wilson does NOT sound like Queenie, so don’t even suggest it!
Limbaugh has talent on loan from God and Beck has claimed squatter’s rights in Obama’s head.
I bet it is. The only solace there is is that God uses pain to strengthen us. She will be stronger in the end. I am sorry that she has to go through this to get there.
oh, she is adorable! Corgis are great little dogs. And your Jack Russell is a handsome dude! They look very happy with each-other. Great camera work, too!
I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this story. I think they’ll hire her back and the other shoe will drop.
Thanks CB. Blessings to you.
Man, that last Beck segment on comparing “Bobby’s” staements press conference statements today with *hit Jack Squat idiotPOTUS has said in the past was utterly brilliant! LMAO....frakin brilliant.

Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, ... asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.” - Nov. 7, 2009
A President who mocks and taunts Americans, who incites his followers to be confrontational, is troublesome.
Looks like I'll be adding the Sherrod Affair to the list.
I thought Press Secretary Gibbs said they don’t watch Fox.
They don’t qualify as a news outlet. hmmmm???
They acted without knowing the facts ... again ... and again ... and again.
Whenever Gibbs is talking I hear "Jive Talkin'"
Yea, I know that was Robin Gibb but it fits
As Glenn has said before, they are trying to divide us on race. They will sacrifice one of their own if that’s what it takes, and that is what they did with this woman.
OMG! I think he’s drunk ... on root beer. LOL
Isn’t that interesting. The DOJ has decided they won’t file charges over Bush’s firing of federal attorneys.
Apparently they don’t want more attention on the DOJ. That and the fact that there are no charges that can be filed over the firings.
Bwaaaaaa! Between the thread and the show I’m going to separate a rib laughing.
