[Breitbart] During the February 9 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) said the loss of work hours due to Obamacare could actually be a good thing because Americans work too much anyway, compared to people in other industrialized countries. How does that square with the 48 million Americans on food stamps? Perhaps they are simply eating "too much" as "compared to people in other industrialized developing countries."

when 48% of your pay goes to federal income taxes, state income taxes, FICA, sales tax, gas tax, communication tax, property taxes...... some have to work to keep up with the GIVERnment programs funding the non-workers.

Good idea, Keith. Why don't you cut back your hours in Congress? And your pay, too.

Remember when unemployment during a Trunk administration was considered a lack of understanding and sympathy and thus evil done by those who held power? /rhet question

Finally a coherent explanation of this administration's priorities! They are anti-job. Job emancipators! At last a common thread. This is the only rational explanation for their policies in general.

SecState Kerry has wanted to be POTUS since forever - it still apears that the Dem race for POTUS 2016 will be between Hillary, Jaawha, + Grandpa Joe Biden.
Still no one as yet from the GOP-Right yet.
AFAIK Bobby Jindal is still indic as possible for 2016 - iff true, he will run a strong or potent campaign.

"Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times," Petraeus tells Allen and Parnes. "In the wake of the Benghazi attacks, for example, she was extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled."
Lying through her teeth, but resolute!

..those pesky NSA files maybe? Of course Donks don't have shame so why would they care if dirt is released, their constituents will continue to elect them (mor' money, mor' money, mor' money).
..ah, the sweet smell of the elections is in the air. A nice reminder of what it takes to be a political animal..
"While thousands of Diane Blair's papers are available to the public at the University of Arkansas Library, an undisclosed number of documents remain kept in a restricted section of the archive. The Free Beacon was unable to gain access to those documents."
Who decided what and why said docs should be sent to the "restricted" section. Enquiring minds want to know..
Less here than meets the eye regarding the restrictions. When some bigwig donates his/her papers to an archive, they typically set rules on access. The receiving archive honors those rules so as to get the papers. It's a very common thing.

With a couple dozen state department employees under her supervision begging for help in Benghazi for way too many hours while under attack by Al Qaeda, ruthless is an understatement for Hildebeast.
we need to know about this because it is very possible this was a case of Bill committing forcible rape

What we have here is pre-emptive warning to anyone who might want to get in the way this time around. This might be the last viable run by Hilly, so if you fight them, they have no reason not to 'burn your house down', so to speak. (nice life you got there, shame if something happened to it...)

Well, they did finally get some action to revamp the health insurance payers schedule for their AR local friendly insurers. After what, 18 years?. And of course they will add a few subscribers when Tricare is closed... to cover the payouts for the Baby Boomer wave.
I don't know that NAFTA resulted in anything but Al Gore's Carbon Credits going to Mexico, I do know that the breakup of Telecom made a number of contributing Billionaires, drove up the price of copper and other disposable, toxic, one-time-use electronics built overseas, useless now that wireless broadband is so popular. OHH and of course drove tens of thousands of jobs offshore so the high salaries for code that doesn't work aren't taxed. Well, and of course Bill didn't stop Iran from shipping arms to Bosnia so they could continue the practice in other, now strong Muslim satellite states.
Yeah, they didn't do much good for the world.

There was a story during the early Clinton years about her telling Secret Service Agents to go f*ck themselves. Pure, pointless, groundless, all consuming hatred.
That's really all I ever needed to know about her.

And the military - she's a big fan of the military, if I remember correctly.

You volunteer for the military to protect the citizens and the constitution. Bill and Hill turned the ones at the White House into waiters and waitresses.

I worked with AA (aka Accenture) many times when I was a Systems Consultant with SAP. They had a few good people but their processes and policies were outlandishly wasteful and expensive.
There were standing jokes about the "Anderson Campers" (trainees) that would be bussed to the project location 20 - 50 at a time to serve as gofers and assistants to the 10 or so actual AA Consultants that were cabable of doing the work.
Of those 10ish 3 to 5 were senior people fighting to make partner, 1 or 2 were partners and they spent most of their time trying to sell more bodies into the project.
Let's just say that you don't want to hear about the project I audited for the USN that had AA as the consulting firm running things.
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.
