   THIS IS SO JUVENILE. When his beloved MSNBC finishes way under FNC, he posts the same Apples to Oranges comparison he should be embarrassed to death by now.

   >>> I’ll play your game.

   #1 – NBC Nightly News w/Brian Williams = 8,995,000

   #2 – ABC World News w/Diane Sawyer = 8,334,000

   #3 – CBS Evening News w/Scott Pelley = 7,200,000 <<<

   How sad. Still doesn't know the difference of cable TV and broadcast network news and that there is still many disadvanatges cable has to overcome broadcast. The half-hour network shows cited again…and again…and again..are for 30-minutes of news a day, not 24 hours. People tune in, get 22 minutes of headlines, and return to entertainment television.

   DUH!!!…already, MarkyMark! Smarten up.

   Another real act of journalism for the left.

   David Brooks calls out Obama’s permanent campaign

   David Brooks’ latest piece profoundly and succinctly describes the parlour game we have gotten so used to seeing in Washington, that we have become almost so inured to it — almost to the point of no longer noticing it.

   He calls out Republicans and Democrats, but his description of President Obama’s tired schtick is especially worthy of sharing:

   “Under the Permanent Campaign Shimmy, the president identifies a problem. Then he declines to come up with a proposal to address the problem. Then he comes up with a vague-but-politically-convenient concept that doesn’t address the problem (let’s raise taxes on the rich). Then he goes around the country blasting the opposition for not having as politically popular a concept. Then he returns to Washington and congratulates himself for being the only serious and substantive person in town.”

   (How long until someone calls Brooks use of the term, “shimmy” a racist dog whistle?)

   “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country,” Limbaugh said. “Seriously man, here we get worked up over $44 billion. That’s the total amount of money that will not be spent that was scheduled to be spent this year. … In truth, we’re going to spend more this year than we spent last year. We’re just not going to spend as much as projected.”

   *****
   *****

   On his Thursday program, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh said he is “ashamed” of his country, lamenting both the lack of fiscal discipline in Washington and the media coverage of ongoing budget negotiations.

   It is particularly galling, Limbaugh said, that politicians and analysts are resorting to scare tactics to resist the prospect of cutting $44 billion from the federal budget through sequestration.

   “Do you really think that if we’re gonna spend $3,700 billion this year, that not spending $44 billion is gonna make a difference? You see, $3.7 trillion is $3,700 billion. So it’s $3,700 billion versus $44 billion.” -Rush Limbaugh

    Media Sequester Madness

    RUSH: Max Baucus. He’s a senator Montana. Tuesday night he’s in Billings on local TV… It was probably not known outside of Billings TV until just now. Max Baucus says, “The White House recommended it, frankly, back in August 2011 — and so now we’re feeling the effects of it.”

    Do you know, ladies and gentlemen, that back in November of 2011, you could safely say that this was campaign season, it was early, it was just a little less than a year from the presidential election in November of ’12. President Barack Obama promised to veto any effort to block the sequester.

    I feel sorry for Hillbilly. I really do. That’s one fewer selling point for him to attract foreign mail order brides, as this must leave him with only one asset: their path to US citizenship. In the near future, though, he’ll be able to make up for it by asking premium rates to marry foreign brides who also have pre-existing medical conditions.

    Did you know that the other day Hillbilly was driving his pickup with the slide in camper and got pulled over by the county cop. The cop said “you are under arrest for DUI!” Hillbilly said “you cant arrest me……..I am already home!!!!!”

    Rats,

    Sorry about the snow. Drought areas, though, should be happy to get it.

    @Rats
    8 trys to post with the invalid data

    I get that ALL the TIME

    Plus,

    Your niece’s whole story made me sob , but, in a good way.

    Just to remind you how bad I am, remember , Tiffany, the rat story.

    —————-

    I just had my yearly physical & , yes , there were changes. The doctor’s clinic (16 dr.s) , lost 4 doctors who closed practices, & , hired two P.A.’s to replace them, plus, ditched all the the nurses, but one, for medical assistants. My husband goes to one of the two urologists in town. The other one just closed his practice citing Obamacare as the reason.

    Just the other day , I posted the Left’s darling, Paul Krugman, saying that , yes, there would have to be death panels. It’s been caught on video for those wishing to verify.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kyeMnaAOQL8

    Remember, when , Dr. Emanuel, President Obama’s White House Health Care policy adviser , wrote about his plan the “ Complete Lives System.” Emanuel prioritizied adolescents and young adults over infants. Adolescents have received substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants, by contrast, have not yet received these investments. Over 65, these people already had their life years. Actually, he gives preference to 15-40 year olds( unless they are disabled).

    Those wanting to read his report, it is available in pdf form “ Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions”

    @d.d.

    As I stated in the past, as with the hospital my wife works in Surgery, most surgeons have formed super groups, some hospitals have foregone most surgeries in favor of specialized ones. The wife’s hospital will no longer do heart surgeries and will mainly do women’s healthcare.

    Medicare patients are already having to scramble to find a doctor who will accept Medicare patients, and they are becoming harder to find. Again, this nightmare has only begun.

    As a “unintended benefit” to the government: the sooner the >65-old people die, the sooner the government will be able to collect death taxes, if any. Look for death tax rates to go up as death panels go to work.

    Let them start the flamethrowing at me then, it was designed to be and will be and always was their intent to be “DEATH PANELS”

    Older patients will face the “Insurance will not pay” clause, and when the hospital’s and doctors know the money stops? Does anyone think honestly they will help the people out of the kindness of their heart?

    Even if they wanted to there will be clauses that will prevent them from helping. If you have the money, you’ll live, if not, see ya and thanks for the tax money while you we’re working, now just go away.
