Video: Harry Reid Claims He 'Saved the World'

This is astounding. Harry Reid's ego must be as big as the world.

Harry Reid on the Ed show:

“So people have been hurting and I understand that, and it doesn’t given them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me, we’d be in a world-wide depression”

Demo KY Senate Candidate Jack Conway Poised to Make Millions if Cap-and-Trade Passes

Democrat Jack Conway comes from a state where coal is king. He recently disclosed his financial holdings and ,shockingly, Conway is heavily invested in a company big in natural gas. That would be scandalous enough, but the story doesn't end there. The company Jack Conway has invested up to $5 million in, Kinder Morgan, is poised to make a killing if Cap-and-Trade passes.

Kinder Morgan is one of the largest energy transportation, storage, and distribution companies in North America. The company also is heavily involved in the transportation, sale, and use of CO₂ for enhanced oil recovery. As interest in carbon capture grows, Kinder Morgan may be poised to become a major player in this area as well.

You read that right. The company Conway is so heavily invested in is heavily involved in CO2 transportation and sale. This certainly explains Jack Conway's flip-floping position on Cap-and-Trade.

Blowing Hot Air in the Wind

It figures. President Obama takes credit for wind farms built during the term of President Bush.

MSNBC reported:

The Obama administration is crediting its anti-recession stimulus plan with creating up to 50,000 jobs on dozens of wind farms, even though many of those wind farms were built before the stimulus money began to flow or even before President Barack Obama was inaugurated.

Out of 70 major wind farms that received the $4.4 billion in federal energy grants through the stimulus program, public records show that 11, which received a total of $600 million, erected their wind towers during the Bush administration. And a total of 19 wind farms, which received $1.3 billion, were built before any of the stimulus money was distributed. ( See a list of the projects here.)

Yet all the jobs at these wind farms are counted in the administration’s figures for jobs created by the stimulus.

After NPR Firing, Juan Williams Lands on His Feet With Shiny New $2 million Contract With FOX News

NPR fired Jaun Williams for making the admission to Bill O'Reilly that it makes him nervous to fly on airplanes with devout Muslims. NPR fired Williams for the comment and claimed the remarks undermined his credibility as a left-wing lunatic news analyst with NPR.


NPR's credibility was undermined a long time ago. Here is a sample video from NPR ridiculing the Tea Party with the offensive "teabag" label.



Juan has landed solidly on his feet after the firing. FOX News stood up for him, gave him an expanded role and a new $2 million contract.

The LA Times reported:

Fox News Chief Executive Roger Ailes handed Williams a new three-year contract Thursday morning, in a deal that amounts to nearly $2 million, a considerable bump up from his previous salary, the Tribune Washington Bureau has learned. The Fox News contributor will now appear exclusively and more frequently on the cable news network and have a regular column on FoxNews.com.

“Juan has been a staunch defender of liberal viewpoints since his tenure began at Fox News in 1997,” Ailes said in a statement, adding a jab at NPR: “He’s an honest man whose freedom of speech is protected by Fox News on a daily basis.”

Flashback: Demo Rep. Ben Chandler misses the past when liberal MSM completely controlled information (video)

In spite of liberal domination of mainstream media, Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Ky) misses the good old days when Americans didn't have any other options. Chandler laments that "Capitalism has taken over the news." Blue dog Liberal Ben Chandler must really long for a state run media. Naturally, Rep. Chandler hates FOX News.

Fox News has people "whipped up", according to Ben Chandler. Contrast protests today with those from the 60's, when everyone got their news from the same place...a system Ben approves!

Ben Chandler: "Capitalism has taken over the news." Fox News "whips" people up.

Demo KY Senate Candidate Jack Conway fought for 2 Years Over Possession of a Rock

Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway sued the Ohio town of Portsmouth and fought for almost two years over possession of a rock found at the bottom of the Ohio river. He finally won possession of the rock. The rock (pictured above) is now stored in a warehouse in Greenup County, Kentucky.

FOX News reported:

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The fight over a rock that lay for years at the bottom of the Ohio River spilled into federal court Tuesday when Kentucky sued an Ohio city, seeking the boulder's return.

Attorney General Jack Conway sued the city of Portsmouth, Ohio, and three men in federal court Tuesday over the 8-ton boulder known as Indian Head Rock. The lawsuit seeks the rock's return to Kentucky and the cost of damages.

Unfortunately, KY AG Jack Conway doesn't feel as strongly about things that seriously affect his fellow Kentuckians. Kentucky hospitals will be losing as much as $3.4 billion in Medicare payments due to Obamacare and fifty-two percent (52%) of Kentuckians favor repealing the Democrat's law. So far, Conway has refused to join lawsuits claiming Democrat's health care reform is unconstitutional or unfair to states. Conway actually called the lawsuits a waste of taxpayer dollars.

"I do not intend to use my authority as Kentucky Attorney General to sign our Commonwealth onto a health care lawsuit against the federal government, because I will not waste taxpayer dollars on a political stunt," Conway said in a statement provided to Hotline OnCall.

Oh, well. At least Kentuckians have possession of a really nice rock.

Unintended Consequences: Financial Overhaul Bill Causes Banks to End Free Checking

The boatload of new regulations imposed on banks as part of the Democrats financial overhaul bill has put a severe strain on bank profitability. Since banks are in the business of making a profit, they are taking steps to shore p the bottom line. One of those steps is to end free checking. Every-time the government intervenes in private markets there are unintended consequences.

AP reported:

Almost all of the largest U.S. banks are either already making free checking much more difficult to get or expected to do so soon, with fees on even basic banking services.

It’s happening because a raft of new laws enacted in the past year, including the financial overhaul package, have led to an acute shrinking of revenue for the banks. So they are scraping together money however they can.
