Chris Wallace just on Fox. Reported that Pelosi will make Joe Wilson come to the front of the House (the "well"), hang his head in shame, and apologize to the full House about what a bad boy he was for calling-out Obama on his healthcare lies. Wilson reiterated that he will not do so. Pelosi then expected to call Wilson to the well for a public humiliation and perhaps punishment. Story just keeps getting better and better. In related news, Wilson has recieved over $ 1M in new donations; Lib hackers have shut-down his site. In SC, his popularity is...

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 34% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. That’s the President’s best Approval Index rating in over a month

While Charles Rangel lived across the street in luxury Harlem digs, his tenants coped with collapsing ceilings, sinking floors and roaches. In just one apartment in the six-unit building on West 132nd Street, city inspectors found nine violations in 2003. Rangel and his wife, Alma -- the landlords -- were ordered to repair the wood floor in the entire apartment, plaster, paint, fix broken bathroom tiles and faulty window frames, and get rid of roaches and mice. The city also found that the Rangels failed to file the building's annual occupancy statement five times between 1982 and 1996.

Comedy actress Tina Fey has won an Emmy Award for her satirical portrayal of Republican vice-presidential contender Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. Fey was honoured at the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys, which recognise technical and other achievements. Pop star Justin Timberlake, who did not attend, won for playing various characters on Saturday Night Live. There were also wins for Ellen Burstyn for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Michael J Fox for Rescue Me. "I always wanted one of these," Burstyn said, winning her first Emmy after being nominated five times. 'Living my dream' In winning her award,...

Some habits die hard in TV -- even the antiquated ones, like fall premiere week. With so many distractions competing for viewers' time (including an explosion of original cable fare), the thought of trying to cram a crowded plate of new shows down their throat at the same time seems ludicrous. In just one week -- Sept. 21 through 27 -- the broadcasters are stuffing more than 43 new and returning shows. And then there's the several early launches (mostly on the CW and Fox) airing their second or third segs that week, or a handful of shows that make...

(Photo by Marinka Peschmann)Washington, DC-Not even the pretense of a president claiming not to know could deny the outpouring of patriotism in the nation’s Capitol today. We The People came to Washington today. They came from every state; they came from other countries, proof positive that the Lamp of Liberty long ago set alight in America, burns to the present day in the Free World. They came with their neighbours, their children and grandchildren, their flags and their pets. They came to take a strong stand for the values and principles that make America In a sea of red, white...

CHICAGO (AP) – A week before one of ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's closest advisers was to go to prison for fraud, the commercial roofing contractor died at a Chicago hospital, and the mayor of a town where he was found said the death was being investigated as a suicide. An autopsy was planned Sunday for Christopher G. Kelly, 51, who was discovered Friday night in a lumber yard parking lot in Country Club Hills, a town just southwest of Chicago. Kelly died Saturday morning, authorities said. Advertisement Abelink Summer Connection Showdown Kelly grew up in Champaign and graduated from Central...

Just on Fox. North Korea is going ahead full-bore with its fission bomb program, this time to detonate a U238 bomb. The first two used Plutonium. They went out of their way to tell Obama to pound sand first. Another foreign policy triumph from The Most Open and Honest Administration in American History.

Hope for positive change rose yesterday when according to one estimate, as many as two million people marched on Washington DC; even as Barack Obama hid from them in Minnesota. It was one of the highlights of hundreds of events around the country with the participation of millions of ordinary citizens who know that government has gone terribly wrong. An epic political event; of, by, but as it turned out not so much for The People. ...

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is working to reclaim the initiative from critics of his health care initiative and boost momentum to push his chief domestic priority through Congress. Obama kept up a steady weekend drumbeat of cheerleading for his health care plan in a campaign-style rally, on the radio and Internet, and on network television. He planned to continue the pace with more events designed to seize control of the health care debate following his address to Congress last week in which he urged Democrats and Republicans to come together. *** "I will not accept the status quo. Not...

Gee! Guess where a reporter is coming from if he uses the vulgar and childish term "tea-bagger" when referring to tea party protestors?Anderson Cooper was among the first "journalists" who used the "tea bagging" term back in April. Despite his initial glee over injecting "tea bagging" as often as possible into his comments on the tea party protests, Cooper was eventually forced to apologize for his highly unprofessional use of that term. Although the use of "tea bagger" has now become generally recognized as the mark of liberal unprofessionalism it does keep creeping back into stories such as a few...

Why is it that if I (a typical white person as he'd say) oppose Obama that makes me a racist, yet he opposes me and he's not a racist?

Rep. Charles Rangel financial disclosure forms reported no rental income 1993-2000 on a rundown six-unit Harlem row house, even though public records show tenants lived there. A current tenant said she lived there 20 years--and paid rent. Another said her former boyfriend called 74 W. 132nd St. home for many years, paying about $500 a month. His nephew, Christopher Rangel, still lives there. Rangel's grandfather bought the red-brick house in 1923. Rangel's sister transferred the property to Rangel's wife, Alma, in 1973 for $10,000, city records show. Rangel sold it in 2004 for $410,000 to the First AME Church Bethel....

Where do AP, ABC, NBC, CNN, and FOX get their DC912 crowd estimates from? IMO The same place I do. And I say 2.5 million. Based on anecdotal twitter feed and the same camera shots everybody has seen. In other words a rough guess, but not uninformed. True science requires that method and data both be described, so that the result can be validated.

The Libyan killer of a British policewoman will never be brought to justice in Britain after a secret deal approved by Jack Straw. The Foreign Office bowed to Libyan pressure and agreed that Britain would abandon any attempt to try the murderer of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, shot outside the Libyan embassy in London 25 years ago. Anthony Layden, Britain’s former ambassador to Libya, said this weekend he had signed the agreement with the Libyan government three years ago, when Straw was foreign secretary. At the time Britain was negotiating trade deals worth hundreds of millions of pounds with Libya. The...

One of the biggest concerns most conservatives had about a Barack Obama presidency was that any criticism of him or his policies would be reported by liberal media members as an act of racism. Sadly, such fears ended up actually being understated, for since Inauguration Day, the left-wing punditry have routinely depicted anyone with the guts to question the new President -- from Tea Party goers to town hall meeting protesters -- as wearing white robes and burning crosses on folks' lawns.

Please allow me this idea. I think it is worthy. Obama has named his Czars. Well, we should name ours. Glenn Beck deserves the title. He should be called our "FREEDOM CZAR!" He has led REAL Americans off the path that the socialists wanted us to go down. For the past five months he has helped REAL Americans to know we were not alone in our desire to hold onto our values, morals, freedoms, and our Constitution. He has stood against the evil socialist/liberal/left-wingers who wanted him off the air and tried to destroy his credibility and show. He has...

Yesterday's 9-12 Project and the local Tea Party rallies were roaring successes. The Tea Parties are much more effective at voicing opposition to Obama's policies than the hapless GOP leadership in Congress. With the success of the Tea Parties, it will be only a matter of time before GOP politicians and especially potential 2012 candidates to attempt to make the Tea Parties as their own. Mitt Romney is a man who might try to "buy" the Tea Party movement. With his vast wealth, Romney could open his wallet and fund Tea Party rallies across the country until 2012. Under such...

The local papers where I live (Southwest Virginia) actually ran stories on the protest marches that took place on September 12, 2009, in Washington, DC. The Bristol Herald-Courier picked up the AP screed, headlined “Thousands of downtown DC protesters blast Obama.” Thousands, my Aunt Fannie. I saw the videos and describing that crowd as “thousands” is like describing the Stimulus spending as “pennies.”

I heard a noise and saw it was my friend. He said he needed help and asked me if I'd lend An alibi that would save his neck. He rushed through my front door and told me of the wreck. They were "ambushed by a gang of mean men." What they did to his girl, he called: "the darkest sin." They roasted her, ate her flesh off bone. They forced him to partake and then left him alone. Once saved my life when we went off to war. He was a one man force, an action movie star. I always...
