Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed SF when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.” - SF Chronicle, 1-18-12
Morning Reads and Open Thread
Got another hectic day lined up. Here are a few links for your perusal:
—– Tom Blumer has the laugh out loud post of the day: Dem Rep Who Opposes Photo ID To Vote Requiring Photo ID For Town Halls (screencaps included)
—– Michelle Malkin nails the left again in a devastating post about ObamaCare “human props” – and the left had you thinking that only the eeeevil W had “staged” town halls …
—— Via the WSJ, “economists” are saying that the recession is over. It’s a “recovery” that – according to one economist quoted by the WaPo – “only a statistician can love.”
—– Democrat Senator Ben Nelson (NE) is hitting back at liberal critics of his opposition to ObamaCare in a new ad that is pretty sharp. You can watch it here.
—– And speaking of ObamaCare, contrary to what President Obama claimed during his NH “town hall” yesterday, the AARP has not endorsed his healthcare plan.
—– The latest poll numbers from Rasmussen show the GOP looking good so far in this year’s race for the Governor’s seat in VA: McDonnell (R) 47% Deeds (D) 38%.
—– The Heritage Foundation takes an in-depth look at the disaster that is “cap and trade.” (via Power Line)
—– Oh, why won’t Gov. Marc Sanford resign already?
—– John Hawkins recently surveyed conservative bloggers to find out which conservatives they respected the most. You can read the results here.
—– Last but most certainly not least, please continue to keep our men and women in harm’s way overseas in your thoughts and prayers. The Marines in Afghanistan have launched a major offensive called “Operation Eastern Resolve” – aimed at liberating the northern Helmland province of Dahaneh from Taliban control.
I’ll check back in when I can …

1) How did O’Reilly make a list of most influential conservatives? I mean, he’s generally not a flamethrowing libtard, but conservative? I hardly think so.
2) The best part of Duh-1′s NH “townhall” yesterday was in explaining why we should support guvmint healthcare by using the USPS against Fed-Ex and UPS as an example. Pure, unadulterated explanation why guvmint should never be allowed to do anything ever in the private sector.

This is OT but related. It seems that the BBC and the NHS, both using taxpayers’ money have launched a campaign and have a trending topic to blast pro-NHS messages to Americans. Not sure what that will achieve but it is as well to be aware of it.
This is from Mark Lloyd, newly appointed “Chief Diversity Officer (?) of the FCC:
“Our conclusion is that the gap between conservative and progressive talk radio is the result of multiple structural problems in the U.S. regulatory system, particularly the complete breakdown of the public trustee concept of broadcast, the elimination of clear public interest requirements for broadcasting, and the relaxation of ownership rules,”
First, they can stick their pc crap back in their own behinds because that’s where it belongs.
Second, anyone with more than two active brain cells should be intelligent enough to realize the reason most stations don’t do “progressive” (boy, that’s a misnomer!) talk is that people don’t listen, hence, advertisers don’t advertise, hence, they have to put over the radio what real people will actually listen to. “…the elimination of clear public interest requirements for broadcasting…” obviously means broadcasting only what he wants heard.
But don’t let me interrupt Duh-1′s flights of fantasy about “educating” the masses. He’ll do what he darn well pleases, the Constitution be damned.
Oouch. My apologies, Sista. Thanks for your past kind generosities. Your faithful follower from the minor leagues. VC
