The US finished 2011 with a stated debt of 100.3% of GDP, or $15.22T. This does not include any unfunded liabilities like Medicare, Social Security, misc. retirement funds, etc.

From Pajamas Media: Attempting to justify the president’s violation of the Constitution and 90 years of legal precedent, presidential spokesman Dan Pfeiffer claimed that the president can exercise recess appointment powers because the Senate’s pro forma sessions—conducted since mid-December—are merely “a gimmick” during which “no Senate business is conducted and instead one of two Senators simply gavel in and out… Read more »

Amazing!
Looks like he’s gone over to The Lunatic Ron Paul dark side.
I’m glad this looser’s gone to Mexico. May he stay there outside of my country. Imagine what would happen if a man in a bar told a group of Navy SEALs that he: •Disagrees with the war. •Believes they (the military) are murderers, killing innocent people… men, women and children •Thought they probably deserve to lose a few of their… Read more »

Yup, liberal leanings.
Yeah,. Like I needed a Jedi mind trick pulled on my to figure that one out. 🙂
This is self evident that having lots of money does not mean you are smart. $30 MILLION WISSIN DOLLARS FOR THAT??!!?

There is no try. Only eat.

A very Merry Christmas today to the second largest Christian denomination in the world. Particularly my onion domed friends in the Orthodox Christian Church of Russia. Special consideration to the Christian Churches in the mideast under siege by the dark forces.
There really is a war on Christmas, and it isn’t being fought between Holiday and Christmas trees.
JugEars war on America has taken a new front and in classic Carteresque fashion, he wants to drastically cut the military. After the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that defined the first decade of the 20th century, Mr Obama’s blueprint for the military’s future acknowledged that America will no longer have the resources to conduct two such major operations simultaneously.… Read more »
Mark Levin throws down the constitutional crisis gauntlet. I don not htink that he is overstating the position. JugEars has gone way too far this time, now it is up to the Rs to demonstrate that they have a spine and go after him full blast. With this move, JugEars has practically guaranteed that nothing else will get done this… Read more »
Have any of you considered that picture shows Obama really is an illegal alien…..and not the kind that came across any river either.

There is something out of order in that image. It looks like it was taken with a 1960s Kodak or expired film roll or something. But your suggestion of too much Coppertone on the subject has merit too.
#46 Contrast Joe “The Dip$h!t” Biden to Newt Gingrich as VP, particularly in a VP debate. . . . .Newt would beat the crap out of him to such a degree that they would have to mail Biden’s clothes home. Ifn JugEars swaps Hitlery for Biden, she will still be outmatched by the Newtster. Newt would absolutely destroy her in… Read more »
So, whaddya think of a Santorum/Gingrich ticket? Rick Santorum might not win New Hampshire, but with the help of Newt Gingrich, maybe he can watch Mitt Romney lose. Santorum doesn’t have the money Romney has (less than $1 million to $14 million raised in the third quarter), or the poll numbers (averaging 4.3 percent to Romney’s 41 percent), or the… Read more »

Don’t matter.

Sounds like a really geeky version of West Side Story.

I guess that explains this leaked email from Mitt to Newt:
Oh, it is soooooooooo freakin’ on.
Just posted to Gingrich’s Super Pac website.
Is it me or does Obama seem to be channeling his inner New Jersey douchebag with a bit too much Coppertone QT?
I ran across an interesting tidbit regarding Obama’s “recess” appointment of Mr. Cordray to the CFPB. People have been yammering that the Senate had only been in recess for less than a day when the appointment was made and that this will allow the president to make a recess appointment pretty much when he wants to. Not so fast. Neither… Read more »
Heck, go stick a pipe in the ground around Mont Belvieu.

Here is another gem, also from wiki A Duke University study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2011 examined methane in groundwater in Pennsylvania and New York states overlying the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale. It determined that groundwater tended to contain much higher concentrations of methane near fracking wells, with potential explosion hazard; the… Read more »
I have Stossel’s book, Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity. He dedicates quite a bit of space in the last few pages to his claim to libertarianism.
#27: From Wikki The oceanic crust is 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick[1] and is composed primarily of basalt, diabase, and gabbro. The continental crust is typically from 30 km (20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick and is mostly composed of slightly less dense rocks than those of the oceanic crust. To imagine that… Read more »
#30 Pyro: I can believe that Stossel is a Libertarian. I find him to be on the conservative side of the Libertarian continuum.
Crazy Aunt: Be sure to tape your grammar head before reading (deciphering) this article. The grammar is less than stellar and would definitely get a big red F in Prof. JP Morgan’s English class.
Stossel claims to be a libertarian, I believe.
#28 Katfish: Yes, he is right on. If he does have liberal leanings, he does not let it show in his reporting. I find him to be a breath of fresh air in the stagnate smoke stack of modern “journalism.”
#15 – LOVE ole John Stossel!
That’s one news dude that needs to be cloned!
There were 11 earthquakes in Eastern Ohio in 2011. As one may suspect, the anti-prosperity lunatics are blaming “fracking.” They say that waste water from the frac process is being injected near fault line which lubricates them and causes the earthquake. If what they say is true, one must consider the possibility that the crust plates are still moving and… Read more »
One more camel’s nose under the tent. “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side.’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’” Adolph Hitler But… Read more »
David Limbaugh has a nice article on biases and more specifically liberal biases and their abject refusal to recognize them.
further to #23 above, I thought that the school districts “were strapped for cash”; where in the wiss did the money for this privacy invasion come from? What legitimate programs were sacrificed for this to take place?
#21 Texakanukian: From your linkie: A local school district will implement a new program where grade school students will be forced to wear bracelets at school and at home so the district can monitor the child’s activity. Where are the ACLU and other privacy advocates on this issue?? As a parent, ifn my kid was forced to engage in this… Read more »
Government Motors is “calling back” (not to be confused with a “recall”) 8000 Chevy volts. I guess that should not be too terribly much trouble since the govt has bought most of them. GM will ask Volt owners to return the cars to dealers for structural modifications, said the person, who did not want to be identified because GM executives… Read more »

#19 Pyro: I hope that BofA appeals this fine and fights them in court. If the CountryWide arm of BofA can show documentation that those who met certain financial requirements were indeed given loans regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, etc, and that those who could not were denied, then they should win. If there is a pattern of those… Read more »
Obama fits the definition of insanity. Just days before Christmas, the Obama administration gave Bank of America a big lump of coal, levying a hefty $335 million dollar fine on the company for discriminating against minorities in its lending practices. Supposedly Countrywide, a mortgage company bought by Bank of America in 2008, had not given out enough low interest rate… Read more »
#10 – Maybe as CIC he is just intending to transfer them to Israel and take them off the US roles. No ongoing direct expense, no long term financial commitments to contend with, no health care issues, etc., plus it further reduces our ability to defend ourselves and maintain proper military standards. A win-win as far as he is concerned.… Read more »
