Don Henley Reviews Megyn Kelly's Performance As Moderator Of The GOP Debates
We got the bubble-headed bleach-blonde who comes on at five;
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.
It's interesting when people die--give us dirty laundry.
Kick-em when they're up, kick-em when they're down...

All Things Considered, Unless It's An Opinion We Don't Like: The Juan Williams Firing
But isn't that what they were paying him to do? It appears to OS that the champions of All Things Obama were unhappy with Mr. Williams for daring to appear on The Network That Dare Not Speak Its Name anyway. Remember the first few months of Himself's administration, when they studiously pretended Fox News didn't exist.
They found that approach, well, didn't work.
But NPR's brass likely never forgave Mr. Williams for being realistic, and for exhibiting an entreprenurial tendency to enjoy making money at what he does well, in the private sector. Some sins are unforgivable.
So, his comments on O'Reilly gave them the pretext they needed to vote him off the island.
They are (hold yer' breath, ever'body, 'cuz theeeze iz inflammmmmatory wordz!):
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country," Williams told host Bill O'Reilly during a discussion on the dilemma between fighting jihadists and fears about average Muslims.
"But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they're identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous," Williams said.
Williams also commented on remarks by Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad warning Americans that the fight is coming to the U.S.
"He said the war with Muslims, America's war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don't think there's any way to get away from these facts," Williams said.
Hell-bells, Mr. Williams! OS gets nervous about that too! Matter of fact, he was at Heathrow that strange day in August 2006 when the plot was foiled to put a bomber on a plane to America with the explosive hidden in a bottle of baby formula. The plane OS and one of his kids was on was one of the targets, it appears. OS spent the hours waiting, knowing something was terribly rotten in Denmark, and deliberately steering himself and the kid away from the many women dressed in full purdah, away from the nervous crowds, and towards emergency exit doors that appeared to head out to the tarmac. If the crowd began to panic, OS figured it would be better to be alive and under arrest with lots of 'splainin-to-do-Lucy than dead or 'splainin to Mrs. OS why our child had died.
OS gets nervous and avoids people who wear the Confederate flag as a shirt, or large tattoo. Or stupid Christian religious slogans. Or anything that indicates that they have some agenda to impose upon the rest of us.
That's not bigotry--that's a healthy sense of self-preservation, ya'll!
But, the good new is: NPR gets some tax money, yes, but they get a heapin' helpin' of their operating revenue from the local affiliates, who depend upon small donors to fund their operations.
Don't take a genius to figure this one out. After the local affiliate went to 'All-Obama-All-The-Time' and quit broadcasting classical music, OS's checkbook shut tight. Nothing sez you gotta' give these people money, or even honor your pledge to them. They sure as hell haven't honored their pledge to you! Check and make sure they're not sucking at the public teat via the state or local budget.
Take their money away, and they go away.
Go git' em, Mr. Williams! Speak yoh' mind! Illegitimi non carborundum!

USD 111 Million Spent, 55 Jobs 'Saved Or Created' In Los Angeles
HT Fox News:
This, in a word, is unsustainable.
More than a year after Congress approved $800 billion in stimulus funds, the Los Angeles city controller has released a 40-page report on how the city spent its share, and the results are not living up to expectations.
"I'm disappointed that we've only created or retained 55 jobs after receiving $111 million," said Wendy Greuel, the city's controller. "With our local unemployment rate over 12 percent we need to do a better job cutting red tape and putting Angelenos back to work."
According to the audit, the Los Angeles Department of Public Works spent $70 million in stimulus funds -- in return, it created seven private sector jobs and saved seven workers from layoffs. Taxpayer cost per job: $1.5 million.

The Fox News Interview With Obama: The Old Rope-A-Dope
17:00 Central Time
Bret Baier asks his first question about the Slaughter Rule: Yes or no, do you support this approach to passage?
Obama immediately begins to bob and weave. At 9 minutes after, he's still bobbing and weaving, changing the subject, refusing to acknowledge his own words as a Senator.
He still won't answer the question--he's conducting his own filibuster!
Won't answer about specific state-by-state deals. He claims the process is transparent, that 'everyone knows' what's in the bill.
Bret keeps attempting to pose a question, and Obama won't stop jabbering. It's like Bill Clinton from the late 1990's.
12 after--he's still jabbering.
Baier is asking about Medicare.
Baier quotes the chief actuary contradicting Obama's claims. Obama brushes it aside.
More double-talk.
18 after--still jabbering.
This lowers the number of questions that can be asked, of course.
19 after--Baier APOLOGIZES to Himself!?!?!?!?!?????
Obama is acting outrageously, and will not answer questions. He talks, and talks, and talks, generating words and confusion.
Yet one more post-modern president...
This did not go well for Himself, which explains the wierd statement release just before the interview aired, accusing Fox News of spreading lies, naming Glenn Beck in particular.
Looked at WhiteHouse.gov for the quote, and it's not there. Will have to search further.
For the younger ones amongst you: The 'Rope-A-Dope' was Muhammed Ali's technique for winning fights. He would lean against the ropes, raise his arms, and let opponents beat themselves into exhaustion and frustration. Later opponents figured this out, and refused to play. He was drawn into the ring and forced to box, and his career was ended. He is also so injured from the process as to be tragically disabled.
No boxer has attempted it since. Of course, politicians love it.
It's always worked for them.
Until now.
The Call List:
OS called the offices of Lincoln Davis (TN-4), in both Rockwood and Washington. No answer, anywhere.
Heath Shuler's office in NC answered politely, and he's undecided.
Chandler (KY-6) indicated he will vote 'No'.

The Charm Offensive: Obama and Geithner on Fox (aka, Maybe Pigs Fly After All!)
After years of pretending that the Fox News Network doesn't exist, suddenly we have TurboTax Timmy doing a live interview on Fox Business yesterday.
Well, when you release a long document that tells Congress 'We saved the world, and we're recovering, but the New Normal will be about 8% unemployment after 2012...' And, by the way, we still plan to do Health-Care, Cap-n-Tax, etc... you'd better start trying to make nice with somebody. Ain't nobody watching MSNBC and CNN.
And, today, Himself is scheduled to appear on Fox News.
Holy Denial, Batman! These Fox News people are are are are, eeeeewwww!!! Conservatives!
They're all White (exept for the ones who aren't, but they don't count!) and speak with southern and midwestern accents, and didn't go to Yale or Brown.
Eeeeewwwwwww!
(Of course, once Himself doesn't need to appear like he cares, the White House boycott of anyone who deigns to question TheTransformationOfAmerica will resume.)
