   Laurence,
   Ed Schultz is going full-blast on the Wisconsin recall . Laurence, Big Ed(I guess he still calls himself Big Ed ,like he did in his WDAY day’s)is a walking “clown.”Laurence, Ed was once a loud mouth conservative talk show host and once stated that he “love’s Republicans because they are anti-tax.”Ed once thought about running on the Republican ticket in N D and changed his mind as he also did when thinking about a run for the N D Governorship as a Dem and the “Real” reason he didn’t run was because he wasn’t polling very high after he made the announcement that he may run for the U S House and decide against a run and this is the same reason with the run for Governor when he dropped the ideal.
   Laurence, Ed don’t give a “DAMN” about anybody but himself and how fat his bank roll is and will step on anyone who get’s in his way. Laurence, Ed could careless about the Re-call ,he’s looking for rating and with rating come’s money and that’s what Ed wants. Laurence if Ed is so much “pro-union”then why is E. A .Schultz a non-union company?I’ll tell you why ,”Ed stated that he didn’t want a damn union in his company”and that right from Ed’s mouth. What still has Ed p*ssed is that he didn’t get the Minnesota Vikings play- by -play job back in the early 2000′s.Ed would walk in to the lounge that he hung out in and say “I’ll be the next play-by play announcer for the Vik’s”. When he lost out to Stembridge it really burnt his a$$.
   Ed is a “clown” but I got to give him credit for making it as far as he has.Personally from the first time I met him in Fargo I didn’t like him, because of his mouth and ego.Hell, I didn’t even know he does his show from New York until a year ago.

   Sounds like many Republicans are only hoping for bad news. Too bad you missed this…

   U.S. logs first monthly budget surplus in 42 months.

   WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States posted a budget surplus for the first time in 42 months in April on a rise in tax receipts and a drop in government spending, although it partly reflected a shifting of some payments to other months.

   The government notched a larger-than-expected $59.12 billion surplus last month, compared with a $40.39 billion deficit in April 2011, the Treasury Department said on Thursday. The last time the government logged a surplus in any month was September 2008, when the worst of the financial crisis began to rock Wall Street.

   Analysts surveyed by Reuters had forecast a $30 billion surplus for April, although the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said on Monday it expected a surplus of $58 billion.

   While the CBS/Times poll has Romney leading Obama with women voters by 3 points (which is a virtual tie in polling numbers), the Gallup poll has Obama leading Romney by 9 points with women voters.

   DC Power player results from Jeopardy Tuesday night.

   Dana Perino 3rd, Kareem 2nd, some guy from CNBC Squawk Box won. That CNBC guy crushed the other two. Wednesday Chris Wallace is on.

   President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that daughters Malia and Sasha can use their cell phones only on weekends, are banned from Facebook, can’t watch TV and are only allowed on the computer during the week when they have to do their homework.

   While i agree with you i won’t give Nobama advice on how to raise his kids. IMO you gotta let kids be kids. That doesn’t mean you let them run wild, but no phone during the week, no TV, no computer time for fun, etc is way to strict. JMO

   Another incumbent bites the dust. Her opponet – former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey.

   State Sen. Deb Fischer won the Republican nomination in Nebraska’s Senate race Tuesday, beating odds-on favorite Jon Bruning in a surprise upset.

   ——————————

   They both owe the govt money. Might as well buy their stock. Nobama will bail his boy Warren out if GM fails.

   Berkshire Hathaway Inc. took a new 10-million share stake in General Motors Co. in the first quarter. The investment comes as the Detroit automaker continues to rebound from bankruptcy three years ago. Fueled by U.S. vehicle sales, it posted first-quarter net income of $1 billion.

    beating odds-on favorite Jon Bruning in a surprise upset.

    There are going to be alot of surprises this November, the media won’t say much, but the public has had it. The mood hasn’t changed since the mid-terms, it’s just not being reported.

    It is excessive and I don’t think he is. He’s hardly home, so how would he know if his wife isn’t letting them behind his back? Yes, they MUST attend Ivy League schools but having an ex president, or current president, for a dad usually does the trick.

    You’ve got to love capitalism, or the myth of capitalism. Here’s some background info on JPM:

    Went completely insolvent in the 1980s
    and again in 2007 ( and was saved both times by the government at taxpayer expense).

    Essentially wrote the faux “reform” legislation for derivatives, which did nothing to decrease risk, and killed any chance of real reform.

    Has replaced the chief investment officer who made the risky bets with a trader who worked at Long Term Capital Management … which committed suicide by making risky bets

    [Jamie Dimon] is a Class A Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is the chief bank regulator for Wall Street (including JPM). Indeed, Dimon served on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the same time that his bank received emergency loans from the Fed and was used by the Fed as a clearing bank for the Fed’s emergency lending programs. In 2008, the Fed provided JP Morgan Chase with $29 billion in financing to acquire Bear Stearns. At the time, Dimon persuaded the Fed to provide JP Morgan Chase with an 18-month exemption from risk-based leverage and capital requirements. He also convinced the Fed to take risky mortgage-related assets off of Bear Stearns balance sheet before JP Morgan Chase acquired this troubled investment bank

    Wisconsin: Union-Backed Opponents Of Gov. Scott Walker Burning His Campaign Signs In Supporters Yards…

    Things are heating up in Wisconsin, as campaign signs for Gov. Scott Walker reportedly have been burned in two towns according to WTMJ-TV and WTMJ-AM.

    No surprise.

    Jeff,

    You are correct about the U.S.’s $59 B April surplus. What you failed to mention , was the $110 Billion April Rise in National Debt.

    LOL..Even Coffee Steve can’t help that one, we may see a one day rally today BUT, its because the big guns are trying to make their own stocks stable, but with the 700 Million Euro bank runs in greece and now Spains goings nuts, it will be short lived.

    Mort Zuckerman, the liberal owner of the Daily News, said this morning that although he supported Obama in 08, he no longer does and considers him to be a terrible leader of the congress on the financial front…the tide of intelligent liberal Obama-ites are starting to flee the Hope and Change ship…he stating to be called more and more a liar..which is what he is…

    So Romney is up in N. Carolina 51% to 43% and last month they were tied.

    Split the undecided to the challenger and the real # is M 55% O 45%

    Oh yeah Wisconsin just reported adding 23,000 jobs in 2011.

    Scott Walker is up in those polls by 8

    Have a nice day Liberals.
