@PaulG
It sounds more like you had a low level position at a small business. Using your style of analysis it appears that I am spot on.
Paul how could you deceive Jeff
suiko, after implying that Bret Baier was not a reporter because he was doing a special on Obama’s green agenda I am sure you watched it so you could see the bias. So what did you think of the segment on Cap and Trade? He was rather kind I think since the program has been an unmitigated disaster. Also curious on your take on Times Beach, did EPA over reach there?? Your thoughts on EPA’s mission creep,was Brett fair on that? I was interested in former Assistant Administrator for Air Jeff Holmstead’s description of the relationship between EPA and environmental groups. Do you think it was a fair and accurate description? If you could point out the areas of bias if any, that would be very informative. Thanks.
after all the Hugomeister DID endorse Obama!!
U.S. ‘Congratulates’ Venezuela on Election
Yesterday, Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez “won” reelection. Today, the White House is congratulating Venezuela on that out come.
From the pool report, which details a gaggle held by White House spokesman Jay Carney:
-Carney said US congratulates Venezuelan people on its election, while noting the US has its differences with Chavez.
Coffee, good one on the big bird!!
Jeff, just keep putting everyone down and try to build yourself up. Everyone knows the true you.
Paul G, be careful, remember Jeffie knows (sort of) Wink Martindale.

I am from St Louis and times Beach was a federal Gov land grab.
Obama Jokes About Debate: I Can’t “Perform Flawlessly, Night After Night”
Attending a star-studded concert that included the likes of Katy Perry and Stevie Wonder where money was raised money for his campaign, President Obama said “everybody here is incredible professionals, they’re such great friends and they just perform flawlessly, night after night.”
“I can’t always say the same,” the President said to laughter from the crowd at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
Rat, did Carney point out that the election outcome has differences with what actually happened??
Doug Z, exactly. It is now a State Park and the man who called for the evacuation has admitted he over reacted. I worked for the EPA and this is only one example of the over reach in many areas. It continues today!!

Carney cant point in the same direction the wind is blowing!!
An incredulous George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in an Oct. 18, 2004 interview asking President George W. Bush about his charge that Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s plan to withdraw from Iraq was “surrender.”
After President Obama’s sour showing in last week’s debate, he and his team adopted a curious seeming response.
Team Obama said Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a man Democrats (and Republicans) have long been saying is a stiff, awkward, un-relatable bore, was a slick and artful politician.
Rat, oh yeah I forgot!!
Darden tests limiting worker hours as health-care changes loom
In an experiment apparently aimed at keeping down the cost of health-care reform, Orlando-based Darden Restaurants has stopped offering full-time schedules to many hourly workers in at least a few Olive Gardens, Red Lobsters and LongHorn Steakhouses.
In an emailed statement, Darden said staffing changes are “just one of the many things we are evaluating to help us address the cost implications health care reform will have on our business
Analysts say many other companies, including the White Castle hamburger chain, are considering employing fewer full-timers because of key features of the Affordable Care Act scheduled to go into effect in 2014.
Under the system Darden is testing, employees are to be scheduled for no more than 28 hours each week. They can run over that if things get busy, but Darden acknowledged they are not supposed to exceed 30 hours.
At a new Olive Garden in Stillwater, Okla., former busboy Keaton Hasty said employees were routinely limited to 29 1/2 hours.
This is happening sooner than I expected but we’ll see more of this in the future.

ObamaCare( may ) be headed back to Supreme Court
Why ?
Monday, the first day of the new term, the Supreme Court ordered the Department of Justice to respond to Liberty University’s suit.
In deciding which cases will be heard by the Supreme Court, the “Rule of Four” applies. That is, if 4 justices agree a case should be heard, a writ of certiorari will be issued to the petitioner and the case will be placed on the court’s docket. It would not be surprising that 4 would call ObamaCare back before the Court during the new term. The Court’s demand that the DOJ respond to Liberty’s accusations is a vitally important first step. We all know what Libery’s & multiple other companies & colleges refer to.

Night after night after night for 4 straight years (and this is no joke).

@DB, again you admit that I make you feel very inferior. Thats not my problem. Seems that’s pretty easy for any man woman or child to make you feel inferior given your low level of intelligence that is demonstrated in here with every comment you post.
Jeff————- Reagan would say, there you go again
@doug z
lol
@here are some classy people!! (Jeff, are you gonna follow her on twitter too?)
Stacy Dash has 274k followers
Snoop Dog has over 10 million followers.
275k followers is still impressive for followers. She was a very attractive girl in the 90′s Clueless movie.
Seems Clueless might also be the name of her current life story given her political choices.
