#1  Small salve on the wounds of Friday.

#2  The EPA mafia didn't threaten the Justice's family and personal lives like the Gay mafia has been doing to their opponents for the last decade or so.

I have to wonder how much of _that_ influenced Fridays decisions.

#3  I think this will come back. The majority opinion was that the EPA didn't factor in a cost analysis. Once that is done, look for the standards to be implemented.

#4  The admin is generating voters(votes).
They brought in the alternative sex(alsx) crowd on Friday, this will bring in job threatened labor. Look for someone to raise the limit on whale culling for the fishing fleet vote (which will also pi$$-off the Greenies).

#5  I suspect the creative bookkeeping crowd are going to be busy making up all sorts of claims in the calculations to justify the action, but in the end it'll fall apart. The massive cost to do this to 'save' lives, will be for an amount less than those killed already by other means (and measurable) which usually amounts to known factors of 'millions' not 'billions'. Then watch the game as names change just like Man Made Global Warming magically changed to Climate Change when those numbers go bogus.

John Boehner gets his first Air Force One ride with Obama
[Politico] John Boehner and Barack Obama's relationship reached new heights Friday.

The Republican House Speaker took his first trip with the president on Air Force One as the two headed to Charleston, South Carolina, to mourn the nine African-American men and women killed at their church last week.

Obama has never been known as much of a schmoozer, but in recent months he has treated fellow lawmakers from both parties to trips aboard Air Force One with him as a way of currying favor and engaging in discussions with a captive audience.

A White House official told POLITICO in February that since the Democratic losses in the 2014 midterm elections, the president himself has used the plane to facilitate tête-à-têtes with various legislators. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) among others, all flew with the president on his Boeing 747 in early 2015.

The change in Air Force One hangouts following the midterms provided a marked contrast to the middle of the Obama presidency; from September 2011 until February 2013 not a single Republican lawmaker joined the commander in chief aboard the plane, despite a litany of possible trips.

#2  It's all fun and games until you're collected as the big guy's 19th/27th/52nd/55th wife... while eighteen men are wifeless and causing trouble, and are unhappily accepting the unhappy discards.

#3  Is it true that, instead of Presidential Cufflinks, President Poser gives out kneepads?

#7  I believe King Louis XIV used to have his nobles stay at his court Versailles and attend him personally when he would wake up and get dressed. All part of keeping a close eye on them and showing them their place.

I guess it was Boehner's turn to wipe the imperial ass.
