Critics Are Cynics?
Deval Patrick is a Harvard creation - all image. He is technically a Harvard corporate lawyer, with no managerial experience just like his buddy Obama. Harvard acts in its own interest then complains about criticism as coming from cynics. Cadillac Deval calls it the sea of cynicism in the state. Then he goes out and hires campaign contributing hacks during a budget crisis. Magic bullet believers want to vote out all incumbents ignore their staff who will remain and control what the new elected criminals will do. It is not just the elected officials but their staff that needs to go.

Universities Omit Disability from Diversity
"the number of female faculty members at Harvard has grown by 16 percent, while the number of minority faculty members has risen 23 percent, according to a recent report." Are persons with disabilities a minority? Or are they simply a bunch of uneducated slugs? Did Tufts University raise the number of Professors and administrators with disabilities? Does Harvard consider persons with disabilities anything other than an opportunity to treat them with psychiatric drugs? Has any university besides Galludet thought of persons with disabilities other than as clients for goods and services?

Cambridge and Global Warming
"the Cambridge City Council officially recognized climate change as an 'emergency.'” Ten years ago the City Council declared a housing emergency then proceeded to sell city owned land to private developers.
The City Council consistently uses words as Humpty Dumpty does in Alice in Wonderland. Words in Cambridge City Hall mean whatever the politicians want them to mean. "Recommendations included eliminating all street parking by 2020." It will be easier and more beneficial to eliminate all sidewalks. No sidewalks would end all injuries to pedestrians and car-pedestrian accidents. No sidewalks would provide room for more parking and wider streets to enable faster movement of cars and bicycles with no fear of alarming pedestrians. One ordinance should prohibit humans from being outside of a building unless he or she is in or on a vehicle. No sidewalks? No problems. The Emergency Climate Change Committee joins the Disciples of Monsignor Gore having it backwards. Cars rule! As for eliminating global warming, politicians and their academic cheerleaders should stop talking for a few years to allow the planet to cool down. Until then wind turbines should be installed at the Council Chambers, the Kennedy School and the five Boston area Law Schools, and the State House. All that hot wind energy will generate humongous kilowatt hours.

Cutting In Line Causes Murder
"on their way home to Jersey from a Queens nightclub when they stopped at the popular stand to get a falafel platter.
They sidled up next to Tayeh in the middle of the long line, he confronted them, and they denied cutting in, Deodat said.
Words were exchanged, and later, after the trio's car cut off Tayeh's SUV, all four got out and Tyrone grabbed Tayeh's hat and punched him, Deodat said.
Tayeh responded by drawing a knife and lunging at Tyrone."

Government Works Against Taxpayers
"Taxpayers gave new car dealers $4,500 for each clunker that was surrendered.
The auto industry and its dealers have already made out very well.
But on top of the $4,500, the dealers are now being paid several hundred dollars by salvagers who wanted the clunkers -- sans useful engines -- for their inventory.
The salvagers then make hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars, from each clunker's parts."
[. . .]
"A Republican congressman from Georgia recently said that any taxpayer that owes penalties on foreign earnings should be given a pass because Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner got a break on his taxes.
John Carter, a former judge, says that equal protection granted under the 14th Amendment is the reason he is proposing the Geithner Penalty Waiver.
I think that all insider-trading laws should also be revoked until we find out how much privileged information was given to Goldman Sachs and others by friends at the Treasury and Fed."

"John McCain complained last week that he had no idea what constituted the highly touted backroom deal that Reid sent to the Congressional Budget Office for evaluation. The No. 2 Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin, reassured McCain that he didn't know, either."

"Reid's latest exertions fit the pattern of a headlong rush to a slapdash social democracy, justified by whatever arguments happen to be at hand and effected by whatever means necessary."

"The Senate spent four weeks debating the last farm bill and eight weeks debating an energy bill during the last session.

Journalists Bash Persons with Disabilities
It is more likely that the Italian suspect attacked the premier because he was a member of the World Wildlife Fund, than because he allegedly has a history of mental illness. But even if that has some link, what good did "ten years of treatment" do? This report is more bashing of persons with disabilities.
Berlusconi's physician, rushed to his side "after a mentally deranged man bludgeoned the billionaire premier."
"Officials said Tartaglia had been treated for mental problems for 10 years. He had no criminal record, and his family said he had no political affiliations other than being a volunteer for the World Wildlife Fund. But when asked whether he bore Berlusconi ill, he said, "I hate him."
"Massimo has psychiatric problems but he has never done anyone any harm," his father.

Overt Bias Against Persons With Disabilities
"Tartaglia [the suspect] has no rap sheet but Italian media reported he has been treated for psychological problems."
This shows more irrational negative bias against persons with disabilities. Without any causal connection between allegations of mental illness and violence journalists repeat this nonsense over and over again and again. Consequently civilians, police, politicians and courts make this repeated falsity into a reality, just as Josef Goebbels said it would.

Psychiatry Can Save Your Soul
Drug companies and the psychiatric industry are pleased that the trained seals want to increase their client base. Every action and every reaction is now mental illness requiring an evaluation. Man, woman charged with crime? Send for an evaluation. Child draws a religious figure? Send for en evaluation. These can be done by simply reading about or seeing pictures of the dangerous people who need evaluations. Psychiatrists do that on TV and in courts they predict the future too. Why not eliminate courts and legislatures and bring all problems to the psychiatric priests who have superior knowledge of all things earthly. What a bunch of seasick media driven maroons in this country.

Man Freed From False Rape Conviction
"This court had harsh words for you in imposing sentence" back in October 2006, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers told William McCaffrey yesterday.
"I want to convey my personal regret for having participated, albeit unknowingly, in this injustice," said Carruthers. "Given the startling turn of events, I now retract what I said about you."
[. . .]
"her guilty conscience got the best of her -- and she admitted she had made the entire tale up."
[. . .]
"She knows she sent an innocent man to prison," said her lawyer Paul Callan. "She wanted these charges to be dismissed and she's very happy about it."
[. . .]
"Before vacating the sentence and tossing out the indictment, Carruthers told McCaffrey, "The court cannot restore lost time."

"In 2008, AARP spent $27.9 million lobbying the federal government. Only the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Exxon Mobil spent more."

"AARP spokeswoman Elly Spinweber told The Examiner that AARP had made $425 million in royalties from licensing its name to businesses -- including insurance and medical companies -- hoping to sell to AARP members. AARP, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, earned an additional $205 million from selling financial products and services."

"In 2008, AARP spent $27.9 million lobbying the federal government. Only the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Exxon Mobil spent more."
[. . .]
"AARP spokeswoman Elly Spinweber told The Examiner that AARP had made $425 million in royalties from licensing its name to businesses -- including insurance and medical companies -- hoping to sell to AARP members. AARP, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, earned an additional $205 million from selling financial products and services."

it says "The alleged attacker, who has a history of mental illness,"
Why is that "fact" prominent? There is no evidence of causal connection between mental illness and crime or violence. Police, prosecutors, politicians and journalists perpetuate this nonsense which becomes accepted as true. Nazi doctors medicalized social problems which is what psychiatrists do. What is source of history? No privacy laws in UK? It suggests that mental illness causes crime, which is irrational. Pervasive bias demonizing persons with disabilities.

Spreading the Golf Wealth
This is a matter for the White House. It is about spreading the wealth, a Presidential priority issue. A billionaire Fat Cat athlete is exploiting a lonely immigrant. If Harvard Lawyer Review President, and Nobel Prize winner Obama can interfere in the most famous disorderly conduct arrest in the history of the world in Cambridge MA, he can surely speak out about an automobile accident with a personal injury and property damage. If he can speak out regarding the election of the New York State Governor, he can speak out about impaired driving. Help us solve this golfing scandal, Mr President.

Harvard Prognosticators in Court
Adding to skepticism regarding psychiatry this Harvard prognosticator declares he knows why a person he never met committed suicide. Was the person taking any of those anti depressants that even the FDA knows causes suicidal thoughts, that Harvard psychiatrists love to prescribe? Did the person stop taking any of those psychiatric chemical pills? Without any basis in fact, without any science behind his personal opinion the court allows these charlatans to speak in court while prohibiting others who speak with no scientific expertise. How long will this charade giving personal opinion masquerading as science continue in the courts?

Time to Defund Psychiatric Boondoogle
No one knows the effects of drug cocktails. Psychiatrists don't know all of the effects of one drug. Ingesting chemicals affects one's mind and body. It diverts attention from the unwanted speech and behavior that moralizing psychiatrists want to stop. Depression is a normal human emotion. It can be coped with by eating ice cream, candy, and cake until it passes. Watching Marx Brothers movies and having happy people around while you need them negates the need for drugs and the professional pill pushers. Psychiatrists are pimps for drug companies. This nation needs a citizens commission to scrutinize the boondoggle of psychiatry. If all of the wasteful and harmful drug treatment were ended many government budgets could be balanced. Eliminating the 50 state departments of mental health and the NIMH would be a great beginning.

Arbitrary Scientific Standards
If the same standards used by the EPA to declare carbon dioxide a threat to human health, was used by the FDA, all psychiatric drugs would be banned. In fact the FDA uses a lower standard for psychiatric drugs. The FDA knows that anti depressants cause suicidal thoughts. The FDA requires a warning on the package but allows the drugs to be sold and ingested. Psychiatrists and the FDA know that stopping taking psychiatric drugs causes violence. If stopping causes violence why start? The FDA permits these drugs to be sold, while the EPA wants to ban breathing.
"the EPA proposed the [terms] "precautionary policy."
[. . .]
"As The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger notes, under this approach, "precautionary measures" are OK if "an activity raises threats of harm to the environment or human health . . . even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully established scientifically."

At one point, when one of her friends asked whether she had been raped, "she replied that she had, because she wanted the group to feel badly.

Drinking Water is Polluted
This article reveals some pollutants in water systems. There is no mention of the many psychiatric, prescription and illegal drugs that enter water systems from pills being thrown into water and or eliminated waste from humans. In host city to Harvard University and MIT employees of the Cambridge MA water department were fired and for selling illegal drugs while working. If there is no accountability in such a high profile city what is to be expected from cities with fewer educated vigilant citizens?

A Student's View of the World
The Student-City-Councilor says, "Cambridge has a City Council/City Manager form of government. The City Council, as the legislative branch of government for Cambridge, is responsible for policy. The City Manager, serving as the executive branch, is hired to oversee day-to-day management and operations for the city. In Cambridge, the City Manager performs the functions we see the mayors of larger cities elected to perform."
That may be the theory but in practice the City Manager makes policy and seeks approval from the spineless obsequious councilors. Does Mr. Cheung understand that he is a student too regarding how the city government works?

Mammograms, and the Health care Bill
"Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced an amendment to [that] did nothing to change page 17 of the Senate health bill -- which focuses on guidelines that insurance, starting with Medicare, will be compelled to cover: 'Items or services that have in effect a rating of 'A' or 'B' in the current recommendations of the United States Preventative Services Task Force.'"
"That is, insurers wouldn't have to cover tests graded C or D -- and the Senate bill, with its taxes and other penalties for "overly generous" policies -- slams many insurance plans that go beyond government recommendations."
[. . .]
"That not only means that some important things won't be covered but also that wasteful spending that has support from the bureaucrats or the politicians will be part of every policy."

Blaming Disability
The teacher "filed a suit against the city saying the student -- a big, mentally ill, 17-year-old boy at Bronx Lebanon Hospital's public school in High Bridge -- kicked, punched and head-butted her in September 2008."
Does that claim that mental illness caused the student to become violent? Was he taking any anti depressants? Did he stop taking any psychiatric drug? Was the violence caused by evil? Was it a crime or are there no longer any crimes only violence caused by mental illness? Does the lawsuit claim that a disability causes violence? Is this news report written by a biased journalist?

Irrational Global Warming
"President Obama, understanding the histrionics required in climate change debates, promises that US emissions in 2050 will be 83% below 2005 levels. If so, 2050 emissions will equal those in 1910, when there were 92 million Americans. But there will be 420 million in 2050, so Obama’s promise means that per-capita emissions then will be about what they were in 1875. That. Will. Not. Happen."
"never in peacetime history has the government-media-academic complex been in such sustained propagandistic lockstep about any subject."

Source of Hatred of Police
Malkin asks, "From where does the deadened and deadly callousness toward the thin blue line come?"
If she has to ask she is unaware of police abuses. No matter how small the number of abusive police officers are it discredits all of the good officers who would never abuse their power. Police protect each other. Similarly doctors never snitch on other doctors. How many politicians expose criminal conduct of their colleagues? Surely Malkin saw the video clip showing Rodney King being beat by officers. Has she never read about how police murdered Black Panthers in Chicago?
Rap performers are not the only source of hatred of police.

Ft. Hood Masacre
"Inasmuch as Maj. Hasan had never been deployed overseas, much less seen combat, liberals seem to have discovered the first recorded case of "pre-traumatic stress syndrome."
[. . .]
According to numerous eyewitness accounts, Hasan denounced the "war on terror" as a war against Islam, said Muslims should attack Americans in retaliation for the war in Iraq, defended suicide bombers and said he was "happy" when a Muslim murdered a soldier at a military recruiting center in Arkansas earlier this year.
[. . .]
A few years ago, Hasan delivered an hour-long PowerPoint lecture to an audience of doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, arguing that non-Muslims should be beheaded and have burning oil poured down their throats.
[. . .]
Far less offensive speech has been grounds for discipline or even removal from duties in the military. In the aftermath of the Tailhook scandal, for example, two Navy officers were reprimanded and reassigned after putting up a sign with the words of a nursery rhyme altered to include a vulgar sexual reference to liberal congresswoman Patricia Schroeder."

Parents of Student Suicide Sue Harvard for Negligence
"According to the complaint, a nurse practitioner prescribed a drug not named in the filing to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in addition to two antidepressants, Prozac and Wellbrutin. Edwards was also taking Accutane, a powerful anti-acne drug. Three of these four drugs have been associated with heightened suicide risk."
Physicians Assistants and Nurses are often more sensitive to patients than doctors with their huge egos. Few doctors listen to their patients. Why are medical professionals still prescribing anti depressants when it is known even by the drug-company-controlled FDA that they increase suicidal thoughts? Psychiatrists and journalists blame patients who stop taking psychiatric drugs for violence. If stopping taking the drugs causes violence why start them? The drug industry and the well paid promoters of psychiatric drugs among the medical profession need intense scrutiny and their abuses must be curbed. How mush violence is caused by psychiatrists who like Tiger Woods are never questioned, no matter how egregious or bizarre their behavior?

FBI Abuses
"we've learned that sheer incompetence played a larger role [than political correctness]."
"Chinese theft of nuclear-weapons design plans by Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee,"
"Robert Hanssen, the FBI official in charge of ferreting out Soviet (and then Russian) spies, had been spying for Moscow since 1985."
"It took the toppling of the World Trade Center for FBI bosses to change their minds."
"The bureau's investigation of the September 2001 anthrax attacks dragged on for seven years as agents focused on [the wrong man]."
"Judge Richard Posner's warning that the agency lacks 'the tradition, the skills, the patience, the incentive structures, the recruitment criteria, the training methods, the languages, the cultural sensitivities and the career paths that national-security intelligence requires.'"
"Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy has lambasted the bureau for placing 'law-abiding Americans and babies and nuns' on the [terrorist watch] lists."
"It's high time to look at creating a new and separate domestic counter-terrorism/counter-intelligence agency along the lines of Great Britain's MI5."

"Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy has lambasted the bureau for placing 'law-abiding Americans and babies and nuns' on the [terrorist watch] lists."

Animals Higher Priority Than Humans
"Researchers defended the [radiation] testing [on monkeys] as adhering to government guidelines." (Dave Wedge, "Protesters gather to save space monkeys," Boston Herald, December 4, 2009) US and state laws regulating animal research provide criminal penalties for non compliance. US law [there are no MA state laws] on use of human subjects for experiments provide no penalty for non compliance. Why is there no concern for vulnerable human research subjects especially mental patients at McLean hospital?
Government and private researchers use vulnerable persons for testing of high tech electromagnetic radiation and other electronic weapons research without consent across the US. Yet there is silence from civil rights organizations and journalists. Why are monkeys a higher priority?
"All research laboratories at McLean are inspected regularly and comply with all institutional, state and federal guidelines." If there are violations there are no penalties when humans are used for experiments.

HOOVER, TRUMAN, AND IKE. WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?
Three Presidents HOOVER, TRUMAN, AND IKE!
What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?
Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around.
I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work...
Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal's after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.
And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback'.. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs...It took 2 Years, but they deported them!
Now....if they could deport the illegal's back then, they could sure do it today? lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.
Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes... 12 million Illegal Aliens are depending on you.

Electromagnetic Radiation Research
Why EMR research is so rudimentary today, although radar research goes back to WWII. See below:
1. Daily Mail, Sunday Nov. 15 2009, Stanford U. study shows EMR reduces sperm quality, recommends further study
2. 2004 book, Bioelectromagnetic Medicine, says EMR will be significant medical field of study
3. Microwave Debate, author, professor, Steneck writes that 2/3rd of EMR research is funded by military, health studies underfunded, military's great interest. (1984)

Electromagnetic Radiation Reduces Sperm Quality
"Researchers exposed male volunteers to electromagnetic fields - high
doses of which are produced by all electrically charged objects,
including refrigerators and vacuum cleaners - and found such exposure
could double the risk of having poor-quality sperm."

Dangerous work: Home chores could reduce a man's fertility
It's the get-out clause work-shy husbands have been praying for for years.
A study has found that household chores - including using a vacuum cleaner or microwave oven - could reduce a man's chances of having children.
Researchers exposed male volunteers to electromagnetic fields - high doses of which are produced by all electrically charged objects, including refrigerators and vacuum cleaners - and found such exposure could double the risk of having poor-quality sperm.
Fertility expert Dr De-Kun Li said his work provides the first evidence of a link between electrical goods and declining male fertility.
Dr Li, of Stanford University, California, said: 'I would advise men and couples trying for a baby to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic fields as much as possible.
'I'm not saying you shouldn't use a microwave but it makes sense to turn it on, then move away and go back when it is done. Keep devices, especially those with electric motors, away from the body.'
The study recruited 148 donors at a sperm bank in Shanghai. Tests showed that 76 had poor sperm mobility, shape or count, while 72 had good-quality sperm.
Those volunteers whose job involved working with high temperatures or being exposed to chemicals linked to sperm damage such as solvents and pesticides were excluded.
Participants were asked to wear meters which took readings of magnetic fields every four seconds for 24 hours on days they considered 'typical'.
They found that the half of the group who had peak readings above 0.16 microtesla - a measure of magnetic field strength - were twice as likely to have low sperm quality as those with readings below this level.
Dr Li's team also revealed that the chances of having poor sperm quality increased as the time exposed to higher-strength magnetic fields rose.
He said of the research, due to be published in January in the journal Reproductive Toxicology:
'This is the first study to show a link between measured electromagnetic fields and poor semen quality in humans, which may provide a logical explanation for why we have seen reductions in sperm quality in men over the past century.'
Although the study did not look at what was producing the magnetic fields, electrical appliances - especially those containing motors such as hairdryers - produce high frequencies and therefore strong magnetic fields.
In previous studies, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, a poor diet, drug use and obesity have all been shown to reduce sperm count.
Dr Allan Pacey, of the British Fertility Society and a fertility researcher at Sheffield University, said: 'I believe there might be something in it.
'If these results are repeated in a bigger study, we need to start thinking seriously about promoting advice about avoiding exposure.'

................................................................................................................................................................................
The 2004 book, Bioelectromagnetic Medicine edited by Dr. Paul J. Rosch and Dr. Marko S. Markov illustrated that the growing evidence and interest in nonthermal bioeffects of EMR is continuing. ( Note that U.S. military official statement in 2007 Washinton Post article:
"The official U.S. Air Force position is that there are no non-thermal
effects of microwaves. Yet Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's
Langley Research Center, tagged microwave attacks against the human brain as
part of future warfare in a 2001 presentation to the National Defense
Industrial Association about "Future Strategic Issues."
"That work is exceedingly sensitive" and unlikely to be reported in any
unclassified documents, he says."
Dr. Rosch wrote the following excerpt on the FEW trailblazers in the field of bioelectromagnetic medicine, including Dr. Ross Adey and Dr. Robert O. Becker.
In the decade to come, it is safe to predict, bioelectromagnetics will assume a therapeutic importance equal to, or greater than, that of pharmacology and surgery today. With proper interdisciplinary effort, significant inroads can be made in controlling the ravages of cancer, some forms of heart disease, arthritis, hormonal disorders, and neurological scrounges such as Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. This prediction is not pie-in-the-sky. Pilot studies and biological mechanisms already described in primordial terms, form a rational basis for such a statement- J. Andrew L. Bassett, 1992
Andy Bassett was one of the early advocates of the use of electromagnetic fields for uniting fractures that refused to heal. Unfortunately, he died before he could see that his prophecy would come true well ahead of schedule. In many respects this book is a tribute to him and other pioneers such as Bob Becker, Abe Liboff, Bjorn Nordenstrom, and Ross Adey who recognized the vast potential of bioelectromagnetic medicine and have helped to put it on a solid scientific footing.
.................................................................................................................
A February 1985 Omni magazine article Mind Fields by Kathleen McAuliffe included an interview of science historian Nicholas Steneck who summarized the scientific uncertainty surrounding EMR bioeffects research;
Science historian Nicholas Steneck published the [1984] book, The Microwave Debate. Steneck acknowledges that two thirds of all support for research on biological effects of microwaves and radio waves comes from the military, "which cannot be viewed as a disinterested party when it comes to making decisions about development versus health. Groups with a vested interest in the use of electromagnetic technologies are proving to be a formidable force in shaping public health policies. . . . basic research in this area has barely crept forward, with investigators under constant fire for challenging accepted ideas. According to psychobiologist Rochell Medici, who stood at the vanguard of brain EMF studies in the early seventies, "It is as though scientists had retreated from doing challenging, frontier studies because such research engendered too much controversy or elicited too much criticism." The upshot of all this: We now lack a scientific framework needed to make sense of the diverse range of EMF health effects being reported in ever-increasing numbers."

CT Legislature Hard at "Work"
Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?
Politicians at work.
This is one of the THREE DAY WORK WEEKS funded by taxpayers. Some voters want to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.
CT House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a new budget. (AP)
The guy sitting in the row in front of these two... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.
These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!
They got a 30 day budget extension. 30 days from now they will be in the same boat. That makes it easy for journalists, as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago. And these yo-yos will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

Geithner Failing
Geithner Failing
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is finding himself under increasing attack.
Here's the deal: Geithner is a disaster. He is terrible at explaining the Treasury's mission on the economy, and he's an apologist for a stimulus plan that isn't creating enough jobs.
Worst of all, he blames the prior administration of George W. Bush for the disaster (and in this he is correct), but never manages to mention that he held the critical position of president of the New York Federal Reserve while these mistakes were being made.
But we are stuck with Tim.
Dumping him would create more problems, especially in confidence around the world, than the guy could ever create by staying put.
Next time, however, let's do better in the job search.

What's in The Health Care Bill
James Thrall, a Harvard Medical School professor, says, "I fear we are entering an era of deliberate decisions where we choose to trade people's lives for money."
Despite many claims by the president that Medicare benefits won't be reduced, Sec. 4105 empowers the government to modify or eliminate preventive-care services for seniors based on what the stingy US Preventive Services Task Force recommends (p. 1,189).
For example, "community transformation grants" can fund infrastructure improvements as well as activities that promote wellness or "reduce racial and ethnic disparities, including social, economic and geographic determinants of health." Almost anything qualifies,
it shifts billions of dollars from caring for the elderly to funding a new social agenda.

Summers and Harvard's Endowment
"Larry Summers: While President Obama's chief economic adviser has done a good job of keeping out of the crossfire, his legacy as president of Harvard continues to haunt him. Iris Mack, a former derivatives trader at Harvard, said she warned Summers back in 2002 that the endowment, now devastated, was invested in too many risky assets and was fired as a result. Summers denies the charge."

ABC News, for example, reported last week that many of the supposedly saved or created jobs were located in congressional districts that, well . . . don’t exist.
And no one (yet, anyway) is saying the money went south; surely someone will one day figure out what happened to more than three-quarters of a trillion dollars in taxpayer cash.

Civilian Trials for Terrorist Combatants
"If Holder and Obama are telling the truth, they have a problem.
The attorney general has no constitutional or statutory authority to unilaterally order the Defense Department to hand over military detainees so they can stand trial in civilian court.
[. . .]
The only one who does have the authority is the superior of both the AG and the defense secretary: President Obama himself.
Evidently, this hasn't yet dawned on the administration."
[. . .]
The Rasmussen Poll found that Americans disapprove of the decision 51 percent to 29 percent, with 19 percent uncertain.
Holder endured withering criticism for "his" decision in the Senate on Wednesday.

Homosexuals are a Special Interest Group
Adam Reilly curiously refers to "the federal government's long-standing deference to states on the question of who can and can't get hitched" arguing against the US Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). But he remains silent on the violation of the MA state Constitution by the MA Supreme Judicial Court. The MA Constitution declares that "matters regarding marriage should be left to the Governor and the legislature." That means that making same sex marriage "legal" through the courts was unconstitutional. But no homosexual lobbyist or any of their journalist acolytes support that constitutional provision. MA is the only state which allows same sex marriage though the legislature prevented a lawful citizen initiative to go to the voters. In every state where the voters were allowed to vote they voted against legalizing same sex marriage. That is evidence of the lawlessness of the MA government which played the useful idiot for the homosexual lobby. This group supports laws when it suits their purpose but opposes law when it does not. Homosexuals do not support the law or constitutions. They support their special interests the same as the defense industry, the drug companies, the banks and insurance companies.

Obama is Losing It
"a critical mass of influential people who once held big hopes for his presidency began to wonder whether they had misjudged the man." They once held "an unromantically high opinion of Obama," and were key to his rise, but now they are concluding that the president isn't "the person of integrity and even classiness they had thought."
"the president's Asia trip suggested 'a disturbing amateurishness in managing America's power.' The president's Afghanistan review has been 'inexcusably clumsy,' Mideast negotiations have been 'fumbling.'"
"When longtime political observers start calling for wise men, a president is in trouble."
"There is the growing perception of incompetence, of the inability to run the machine of government."

One Simple Question
Paul Hollrah [no results from Google search] at UTFSM [university in Chile?] raised the Obama birth issue, and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question:
What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?
So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without
the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price
of a round-the-world trip just a month later?
And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York, Jakarta , and
Karachi, what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and
Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions,
they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a
rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission..
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U..S. State Department's
"no travel" list in 1981.
Conclusion:
When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a
British passport or an Indonesian passport..
If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof he
was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims.
And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to
prove he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or
American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he
managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008..
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by
his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has
presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.

New Stimulus Check
Just in case you get a check....
Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive an Economic Stimulus payment.
This is a very exciting program. I'll explain it using the Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A.... Only a smidgen.
Q.. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set,
thus stimulating the economy..
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of Asia ?
A. Shut up or you don't get your check.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending
Your stimulus check wisely:
1 If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, your money will go to China ..
2 If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to Saudi Arabia ..
3 If you purchase a computer, it will go to India ...
4 If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..
5 If you buy a car, it will go to Japan or Korea ..
6 If you purchase useless plastic stuff, it will go to Taiwan ..
7 If you pay off your credit cards, or buy stock, it will go to pay management bonuses
and be hidden in offshore accounts.
Instead, you can keep the money in America by:
1 Spending it at yard sales or flea markets, or
2 Going to baseball or football games, or
3 Hiring prostitutes, or
4 Buying cheap beer or
5 Getting tattoos.
These are the only wholly-American-owned businesses still operating in the US ..
Conclusion:
The best way to stimulate the economy is to go to a ball game with a prostitute that
you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day until you're drunk enough to go get tattooed.

Politicians, Candidates and Lawyers
Why no tips on skepticism regarding words of politicians? Why should the vote of a person who believes what a candidate says be equal to the vote of an informed voter who knows how deceptive candidates are? Why should citizens believe anything that a candidate says? How reliable are statements made by lawyers in court? How about out of court? Why are lawyers permitted to speak publicly and to teach young people at all? How much are lawyers responsible for the low opinion of politicians by adult citizens?

Thermal Imaging Used in Court for Conviction
Thermal imaging technology was used in a MA state court for convicting a man of gun possession. This is the same technology the Supreme Court of the US declared to be an illegal entry without a court order. When used by police it violates the Fourth Amendment. When used by criminals using high tech electrical weapons, as those who target their subjects using thermal imaging it is a criminal trespass. But since many users are police, psychiatrists and organized crime which is associated with both of the above they pretend to be unaware of its use.
