This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

A Waterloo for Obama, how droll. ---- -Dems Start To Push Back Hard To Prevent A 'Waterloo'- by Anna Edney, with Kasie Hunt and Peter Cohn Nationaljournal.com
A telling episode recounted by Senate Finance ranking member Charles Grassley reveals the Obama administration might be more worried than they are letting on that a Republican senator's comparison of the healthcare overhaul to Waterloo might be dangerously close to the truth. ---- Don’t expect the corrupt media to tell you the truth about Obamascare. Why the big rush, Obama has not read the entire bill either? The reason for the rush, is that as the people begin to realize that socialized medicine is coming their way, the more they don’t want it. Obama breaks another of his campaign promises. Also, Robert Kennedy came out of rehab to vote, and then went back. Where is the press on this? The press just loves the Kennedy boys, right? Why not follow Robert Jr.'s every little move now?
Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is mocked at town-hall meeting, Really? ===== Trying To Talk Around The Facts New York Post by Grace-Marie Turner
PRESIDENT Obama seems to believe he can talk his way past the reality of how his sweeping health-reform plan would affect the lives of 300 million Americans.

Where are Obooma’s newly hired ‘Minders’ aka known as attorneys. He hired a whole new slew of them. More attorneys on staff than any other president in history. These negative stories are getting past the empty suits. *** O's Foreign Failures New York Post, by Peter Brookes
MOST Americans have noticed that President Obama's economic policies aren't getting the job done. Fewer, however, realize that the administration's foreign policies are flagging after just six months in the White House, too. Yup, that's right: All that Obama hopey-changey, blame- America-first, anything-but-W stuff hasn't restored, much less advanced, America's position in the world as was promised.

"The president of the United States fans the flames of racial hatred. At the NAACP, Obama Removes His Mask of the Great Unifier" __________ American Thinker Iby Lloyd Marcus
It is truly a sad day in America when the president of the United States fans the flames of racial hatred. The man elected to be president of all the people, in his speech at the NAACP basically said, though America is racist, sexist and homophobic, you can make it in spite of those white SOB's attempts to stop you. (Snip) Interestingly, Obama's list of victims did not include Christians and straight white males...

Obama delivers lackluster health care message. President spends an hour recycling old patches of rhetoric
By Howard Fineman His prime time press conference was worse than a waste of time. He spent an hour (with the aide of a soporific White House press corps) pouring sand (one grain at a time) into the already-slowing gears of the machinery of health-care reform.
He made no real news on health care, but DID make news on race relations with his discussion of the Skip Gates case – thereby obscuring the topic he supposedly wanted to feature
Note to 4:32 - There are several time zones in the USA. You might want to acquaint yourself with where the middle of the night is for other than yourself. Odd you didn't know that.
4:32 AM- The articles I read here are from News sources, that does not make them rants just because you don't like the bad news for Obama. All the news does not have to be about McClatchy, reread the blog's objectives, but the damage done by their biased and selected reporting will negatively impact all of us for years. So, in fact the news is about McClatchy’s failure to their job, indirectly. You are very arrogant to think you can decide what anyone else should be doing at any time of the day or night. You didn’t get to post first, and your widdle feeling are hurt. I feel your phony pain, NOT! Sweetie is the perfect name for you, IMO.

On Cambridge-Race Case, Obama Spoke Stupidly (Bob Parks: Black & Right)
This is not another "just words" moment.
During a primetime press conference on the whole black-Harvard-scholar-being-racially-profiled-and-arrested-in-his-Cambridge-Massachusetts-home thing, President Obama said,
"Well, I should say at the outset that Skip Gates is a friend, so I may be a little biased here. I don't know all the facts." This is where the president should have stopped and minded his own business, but the all-about-me man just couldn't contain himself... Now, I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that. But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.
President Obama admits he didn't know much about the case, and yet slams a police department on national television. Is this stupid or what?
Changing the Law to Save Newspapers: Some Modest Proposals by Jeffrey D. Neuburger
As newsroom staffs continue to shrink and newspapers go out of business at an alarming rate, the difficulty newspapers have experienced in gaining economic traction online has been blamed on blogs and websites that link to content on newspaper sites. According to some, this kind of "free riding" is responsible at least in part for the distress in which newspapers find themselves. A number of proposals have surfaced, in the U.S. and abroad, to change the law to "even the playing field" between new media and old. http://tinyurl.com/n4erg5
Cheating wife faces honour killing - acid poured down lover's throat: Daily Mail
A married Muslim woman has been warned by police that she could be murdered in an honour killing after her lover was attacked with sulphuric acid.
Her 24-year-old Muslim lover is not expected to live after suffering 90 per cent burns in the attack, which blinded him and left his tongue destroyed.
He was also stabbed twice in the back by four men, and hit with bricks
The Danish victim, who is of Asian origin, is said to have ‘insulted’ her strictly religious relatives, some of whom wear the hijab, and detectives believe the family feared being shamed in the community.
FACT CHECK: Obama's health care claims adrift? (ap)
President Barack Obama's assertion Wednesday that government will stay out of health care decisions in an overhauled system is hard to square with the proposals coming out of Congress and with his own rhetoric.
Even now, nearly half the costs of health care in the U.S. are paid for by government at all levels. Federal authority would only grow under any proposal in play.
A look at some of Obama's claims in his prime-time news conference:
___
OBAMA: "We already have rough agreement" on some aspects of what a health care overhaul should involve, and one is: "It will keep government out of health care decisions, giving you the option to keep your insurance if you're happy with it."
THE FACTS: In House legislation, a commission appointed by the government would determine what is and isn't covered by insurance plans offered in a new purchasing pool, including a plan sponsored by the government. The bill also holds out the possibility that, over time, those standards could be imposed on all private insurance plans, not just the ones in the pool.
Arrests in submerged car deaths (Kingston, Canada)
Kingston Police have arrested at least three people in connection with the mysterious deaths of four Montreal women found in a submerged car in Kingston Mills June 30.
Three teenage sisters were found dead in the car, Zainab Shafi, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with a 50-year-old woman, Rona Amir Mohammed.
Initially, police said the case was suspicious but that they had not found evidence of foul play. It's not clear what charges are being laid, but The Whig-Standard learned that Kingston Police have been investigating, for at least two weeks, the allegation that the deaths were an honour killing.
Sweeties 4:32 & 5:06, obviously the same person, was up early to get that first negative post in. Too bad, I heard Soros paid leftist bloggers for being disruptive to conservative blogs during the election. Who knows where he has been, and I personally don’t like to make judgments on how other people spend their time. Liberals seem to think only their thoughts matter. One would think they would welcome debate, wrong, they stifle debate. Just watch Barry’s new attorneys at work. News ‘Minders’ is the perfect name for them, and we thought China was bad for filtering their government news. Geeez!

The15-year-old was visiting Disney with David Thomas, 29, of Mountlake Terrace, Wash., who was arrested on a lewd molestation count Thursday after deputy sheriffs said he touched buttocks a boy, 13, through his swim trunks.
Warning: Slippery ahead: Barack Obama is losing the country [Poll numbers nosediving]The Augusta Chronicle
Barack Obama is losing the country.
His approval ratings and the trust Americans have placed in him have been in a free-fall for days. His 55 percent approval rating is lower than George W. Bush's after the first six months of his presidency, "putting (Obama) 10th among the dozen presidents who have served since World War II at this point in their tenures," according to USA Today .
Barry has to rush his sick appointee and healthcare plan past the people in a hurry, before anyone knows what the pure Socialist is up to. I'm with Rush, I hope he fails at his Socialist plans.
Suburban New Yorker Charged With Being al Qaeda Fighter (registered DEMOCRAT)ABC online
Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office in New York alleged in court papers unsealed today that Bryant Neal Vinas, 26, of New York's Long Island received al Qaeda training in Pakistan between March and August 2008. He also is accused of taking part in a September 2008 rocket attack against U.S. forces.
Public records indicate he lived with his father, Juan Vinas, in Patchogue, N.Y., and was a registered Democrat who voted in local elections in 2005.
The juvenile happy talk reached its peak with this presidential statement: “If there's a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that's going to make you well?” Now, there’s good idea. Why hasn’t anyone else thought of that? For this reform, we need to spend $1 trillion?
So on health care, I’d be surprised if the president changed any minds, because he never seriously tried to address criticism of his proposal on the merits.
But at press conferences there are often throwaway lines and unscripted moments that are interesting. I was struck by two that seemed to exemplify Obama’s easy disdain for the less enlightened among us -- in this case, for family docs and for Cambridge cops.
Duluth Man Charged for Slashing Exercise Balls (AP) SWEETIE, THIS ONES FOR YOU! FOR TONIGHT'S BATH HOUSE CHIT-CHAT
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Christopher Neil Bjerkness, 31 has a history of burglary to satisfy a self-professed sexual fetish for slashing large rubber exercise balls, wanted for allegedly breaking into a medical clinic and slashing rubber exercise balls has turned himself in.
He is accused of breaking into the St. Marys/Duluth Clinic West building last May, where he allegedly slashed exercise balls.

SHE'S tired of the 'bullying' and 'torrent of abuse' she has received for her views on homosexuality.
She questions why her detractors have chosen to attack her personally and jeopardise her job, instead of focusing their attack on her views.
And she asks if people can appreciate the cost she has paid for holding on to her convictions and principles.
Dr Thio Li-ann expressed these views in an 18-point memo she sent to the dean of the New York University (NYU) law school and some faculty members, a copy of which has been posted on a US legal blog.
"Sweetie" is spot on and hilarious. Whoever is posting these anti-troll masterpieces is a freakin genius. It's better than waterboarding and twice as effective!

Dear Leader and Liar in chief insists his White House is transparent (SF Gate)
President Barack Obama says his White House is more open than previous administrations and is disputing complaints he hasn't fulfilled a campaign promise to negotiate health care on C-SPAN.
Obama said Wednesday that he started his restructuring of health care with a media event in the East Room and has often invited photographers to take pictures of him meeting with health care executives. He says at some point, the meetings just become too numerous to invite news organizations.

Dozens Arrested in New Jersey Corruption Probe (WSJ)
Federal agents swept into northern New Jersey towns Thursday morning, arresting about 30 people including several mayors, in a federal investigation into alleged public corruption and a high-volume, international money-laundering conspiracy.
According to a statement released by the U.S. Attorney's office in Newark, the arrests related to the public-corruption probe included...
...Peter Cammarano III, the newly elected Democratic mayor of Hoboken; Dennis Elwell, mayor of Secaucus, also a Democrat; state Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, a Republican; and Democrat Leona Beldini, the deputy mayor of Jersey City, the state's second-largest city after Newark.

Conservative Kiosk Not Allowed at Mall (American Thinker) July 23, 2009
One of major mall operators in America seems to be aligning itself with the Democrats. Apparently the Simon Property Group has again bowed to the transparent complaints of a single person to shut down a conservative memorabilia peddler due solely to the political slant of the items sold.
The owner of the mall group, Mel Simon, has been a generous contributor to Democratic causes and politicians, including Barack Obama. Spivack [owner of the kiosk in question] thinks the decision about his lease is political.

NY Times revenue continues rapid decline (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™) Boston Business Journal ^ | July 23, 2009 | Tim McLaughlin
Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2009 12:32:32 PM by abb
Revenue at The New York Times Co. fell 21 percent in the second quarter, hit by lower demand for print and Internet advertising at operations that include the Boston Globe.
Total revenue at the Times (NYSE: NYT) was $584.5 million in the second quarter, compared with $741.9 million in the year-earlier period.
Total revenue at the New England Media Group, which includes Globe operations, was off 19 percent in the second quarter. Advertising revenue during those three months fell 31 percent to $58.7 million at the group.
The publishing company said operating profit in the quarter fell 42 percent to $23.3 million. The Times has been slashing costs, with big pay and benefit cuts at the Globe, for example, as it faces paying off a substantial amount of debt.
The Globe also is on the sale block, but no bona fide offers have materialized.
Meanwhile, the parent company is carrying a $1 billion debt load. In 2011, for example, the company faces paying off $200 million.
But the company’s slashing of operating costs — a 20 percent reduction to $561.2 million in the second quarter — still did not outpace the 21.1 percent decline in revenue experienced by the publisher in the three months ended June 30.
Meanwhile, Internet revenue at Web sites that include Boston.com fell 14 percent to $78.2 million in the quarter. Print advertising has been in decline for some time, but the decline in Web-based ads is a relatively new wrinkle that further plagues cash-strapped metro newspapers.
Crowley's union predicts Obama will regret remarks (The Boston Globe)
The lawyer for the police union that represents Cambridge Sergeant James M. Crowley today predicted that President Obama will regret that he accused department officers of "acting stupidly" when they handcuffed Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. even after he showed proof that he lived in his house.
"He conceded that he didn't have all the facts, and indeed he didn't," Alan J. McDonald, the lawyer for the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, said of the president. "I suspect that when the full picture comes out, he will regret the remarks he made."

Do you have a normal looking pair of jeans the President could borrow? 5. Have you ever obtained pills for Rush Limbaugh? 4. McDreamy or McSteamy? 3. Due to the recession, do you mind working for free? 2. Can we blame the health care crisis on you? And Number 1. Will you look the other way when the President lights up a butt?
Notice how the trolls have nothing to say except that the rest of us should not be sharing unapproved news stories without permission of our liberal masters in the media? ...oh yes and various speculation about other people's bodies...I have to say, I find that strange, very strange.
Wow, almost every response on here from the Goebells guy. Oh sure you can say that it's not you and there are many different folks posting but you know it's only you and Kevin knows it's only you. I really like how you post things and then respond to yourself, nice work! Your definitely an asset to this blog and I for one am glad your here because as long as your posting your nonsense your not out molesting children or being mean to animals or whatever else you do when your not spewing hate.

The American economy lost 467,000 more jobs in June, and the unemployment rate edged up to 9.5 percent in a sobering indication that the longest recession since the 1930s had yet to release its hold.

Sweetie what is has to do with McClatchy, is it's palpable news, the kind McClatchy will never print.
Further, it points to what bias filth that McClatchy does print/ expel from their corporate body...kind of like you!
Speaking of which, how was last night Sweetie?
The technical term for what Dear Leader did last night, was called, "shuckin n jivein."
What I can’t believe is on the MSNBC page it says Fineman will be a guest on the Maddow show to give his analysis.
How will she stand for anything being bad being said about 0bama?
It looks like the MSM is even waking-up and slowly they are taking the crown off of Hitler II-0bama.

But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact.
President Obama admits he didn't know much about the case, and yet slams a police department on national television. Is this stupid or what?
Changing the Law to Save Newspapers: Some Modest Proposals
by Jeffrey D. Neuburger
As newsroom staffs continue to shrink and newspapers go out of business at an alarming rate, the difficulty newspapers have experienced in gaining economic traction online has been blamed on blogs and websites that link to content on newspaper sites. According to some, this kind of "free riding" is responsible at least in part for the distress in which newspapers find themselves. A number of proposals have surfaced, in the U.S. and abroad, to change the law to "even the playing field" between new media and old.

Cheating wife faces honour killing - acid poured down lover's throat: Daily Mail
A married Muslim woman has been warned by police that she could be murdered in an honour killing after her lover was attacked with sulphuric acid.
Her 24-year-old Muslim lover is not expected to live after suffering 90 per cent burns in the attack, which blinded him and left his tongue destroyed.
He was also stabbed twice in the back by four men, and hit with bricks
The Danish victim, who is of Asian origin, is said to have ‘insulted’ her strictly religious relatives, some of whom wear the hijab, and detectives believe the family feared being shamed in the community.
FACT CHECK: Obama's health care claims adrift? (ap)
President Barack Obama's assertion Wednesday that government will stay out of health care decisions in an overhauled system is hard to square with the proposals coming out of Congress and with his own rhetoric.
Even now, nearly half the costs of health care in the U.S. are paid for by government at all levels. Federal authority would only grow under any proposal in play.
A look at some of Obama's claims in his prime-time news conference:
___
OBAMA: "We already have rough agreement" on some aspects of what a health care overhaul should involve, and one is: "It will keep government out of health care decisions, giving you the option to keep your insurance if you're happy with it."
THE FACTS: In House legislation, a commission appointed by the government would determine what is and isn't covered by insurance plans offered in a new purchasing pool, including a plan sponsored by the government. The bill also holds out the possibility that, over time, those standards could be imposed on all private insurance plans, not just the ones in the pool.
Arrests in submerged car deaths (Kingston, Canada)
Kingston Police have arrested at least three people in connection with the mysterious deaths of four Montreal women found in a submerged car in Kingston Mills June 30.
Three teenage sisters were found dead in the car, Zainab Shafi, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, along with a 50-year-old woman, Rona Amir Mohammed.
Initially, police said the case was suspicious but that they had not found evidence of foul play. It's not clear what charges are being laid, but The Whig-Standard learned that Kingston Police have been investigating, for at least two weeks, the allegation that the deaths were an honour killing.

Warning: Slippery ahead: Barack Obama is losing the country [Poll numbers nosediving]The Augusta Chronicle
Barack Obama is losing the country.
His approval ratings and the trust Americans have placed in him have been in a free-fall for days. His 55 percent approval rating is lower than George W. Bush's after the first six months of his presidency, "putting (Obama) 10th among the dozen presidents who have served since World War II at this point in their tenures," according to USA Today .
Barry has to rush his sick appointee and healthcare plan past the people in a hurry, before anyone knows what the pure Socialist is up to. I'm with Rush, I hope he fails at his Socialist plans.

He also is accused of taking part in a September 2008 rocket attack against U.S. forces.
Public records indicate he lived with his father, Juan Vinas, in Patchogue, N.Y., and was a registered Democrat who voted in local elections in 2005.
Obama Attacks Docs and Cops
Washington Post
Snip...
The juvenile happy talk reached its peak with this presidential statement: “If there's a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that's going to make you well?” Now, there’s good idea. Why hasn’t anyone else thought of that? For this reform, we need to spend $1 trillion?
So on health care, I’d be surprised if the president changed any minds, because he never seriously tried to address criticism of his proposal on the merits.
But at press conferences there are often throwaway lines and unscripted moments that are interesting. I was struck by two that seemed to exemplify Obama’s easy disdain for the less enlightened among us -- in this case, for family docs and for Cambridge cops.

Dear Leader and Liar in chief insists his White House is transparent (SF Gate)
President Barack Obama says his White House is more open than previous administrations and is disputing complaints he hasn't fulfilled a campaign promise to negotiate health care on C-SPAN.
Obama said Wednesday that he started his restructuring of health care with a media event in the East Room and has often invited photographers to take pictures of him meeting with health care executives. He says at some point, the meetings just become too numerous to invite news organizations.

...Peter Cammarano III, the newly elected Democratic mayor of Hoboken; Dennis Elwell, mayor of Secaucus, also a Democrat; state Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, a Republican; and Democrat Leona Beldini, the deputy mayor of Jersey City, the state's second-largest city after Newark.

The number of newly laid-off workers seeking jobless benefits rose last week, though the government said its report again was distorted by the timing of auto plant shutdowns.
Unemployment insurance claims have declined steadily since the spring, but most private economists and the Federal Reserve expect jobs to remain scarce and the unemployment rate to top 10 percent by year-end.

Conservative Kiosk Not Allowed at Mall (American Thinker) July 23, 2009
One of major mall operators in America seems to be aligning itself with the Democrats. Apparently the Simon Property Group has again bowed to the transparent complaints of a single person to shut down a conservative memorabilia peddler due solely to the political slant of the items sold.
The owner of the mall group, Mel Simon, has been a generous contributor to Democratic causes and politicians, including Barack Obama. Spivack [owner of the kiosk in question] thinks the decision about his lease is political.

NY Times revenue continues rapid decline (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™)
Boston Business Journal ^ | July 23, 2009 | Tim McLaughlin
Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2009 12:32:32 PM by abb
Revenue at The New York Times Co. fell 21 percent in the second quarter, hit by lower demand for print and Internet advertising at operations that include the Boston Globe.
Total revenue at the Times (NYSE: NYT) was $584.5 million in the second quarter, compared with $741.9 million in the year-earlier period.
Total revenue at the New England Media Group, which includes Globe operations, was off 19 percent in the second quarter. Advertising revenue during those three months fell 31 percent to $58.7 million at the group.
The publishing company said operating profit in the quarter fell 42 percent to $23.3 million. The Times has been slashing costs, with big pay and benefit cuts at the Globe, for example, as it faces paying off a substantial amount of debt.
The Globe also is on the sale block, but no bona fide offers have materialized.
Meanwhile, the parent company is carrying a $1 billion debt load. In 2011, for example, the company faces paying off $200 million.
But the company’s slashing of operating costs — a 20 percent reduction to $561.2 million in the second quarter — still did not outpace the 21.1 percent decline in revenue experienced by the publisher in the three months ended June 30.
Meanwhile, Internet revenue at Web sites that include Boston.com fell 14 percent to $78.2 million in the quarter. Print advertising has been in decline for some time, but the decline in Web-based ads is a relatively new wrinkle that further plagues cash-strapped metro newspapers.
Profits, my behind! Who will be cut next to allow "the call" to show 3Q profits when ALL of the media giants are showing app 30% loss of ad revenue
Crowley's union predicts Obama will regret remarks (The Boston Globe)

"He conceded that he didn't have all the facts, and indeed he didn't," Alan J. McDonald, the lawyer for the Cambridge Police Superior Officers Association, said of the president. "I suspect that when the full picture comes out, he will regret the remarks he made."

8. Are you a general?

6. Do you have a normal looking pair of jeans the President could borrow?
5. Have you ever obtained pills for Rush Limbaugh?
4. McDreamy or McSteamy? 3. Due to the recession, do you mind working for free?
2. Can we blame the health care crisis on you?
And Number 1. Will you look the other way when the President lights up a butt?

These jobs will never come back, and you crow about the small up tick in profits because others lost their livelihood.
