[Dawn] The US Senate on Thursday confirmed John Brennan as the Obama administration's next Central Intelligence Agency director, overcoming concerns expressed by Republicans and some Democrats about the administration's use of lethal drone strikes. After the administration clarified its drone policy, Republican Senators allowed the Senate to vote on Brennan's confirmation, which he won by a vote of 63-34.

Well they announced the closing of some airport towers on account of recalling tower operators due to sequestration. Hutchinson is the host of a pro golf event, Garden City is where people go when they don't want to drive 3+ hours just to get to a hub, Lawrence has an entire restaurant industry centered on fresh produce and sea food. Nearly all of Kansas relies upon life-flight services.
But hey, I can tune in on NPR or PBS and hear about golfing with a guy who can't keep his dk in his pants, jaunts to the ski lodge, and tens of $millions for religious fanatics who make Fred Phelps look like Barney the Dinosaur.

Does the Obamaquester mean we will have to cancel a few $68,000.00 per/hour "Obama golf weekends" (at taxpayer expense) ? Or will we be able to close enough corporate loopholes to affford his habit ?
[STRIPES] Because of sequestration. But don't worry. Big Bird is still safe.

Dateline - WIESBADEN, Germany
Tell me again why twenty years after the Wall came down we still have anything more than a MAG team in Europe? Military welfare for first world countries. There's your real budget crisis, the unwillingness to end old, outdated programs/commitments.

I agree. If I were in charge (heh) one of the many, many ways I'd cut the federal budget would be to bring home all ground forces from Europe. A transport air wing? Yeah okay, particularly if we can keep the hospital at Landstuhl. Naval basing rights? Sure, Naples is useful. But the infantry and armor? Home.

He'll fund the Moslem Brotherhood and cut this because he wants to be known as the Education Presnident.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
