Harry Reid calls the GOP controlled House "the big dark hole"

The big dark hole in Washington is the spot in Harry Reid's head that his brain used to occupy.

(The Hill) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) denounced the Republican-controlled House on Thursday for its vote to drop the Senate’s highway funding bill — legislation that took Reid nearly five weeks to shepherd through the upper chamber.

“They are so disorganized, in such a state of disrepair, the House of Representatives, that they can’t even extend the highway bill,” said Reid. “I don’t know what’s in their minds.

“Over in the big dark hole we now refer to as the Tea Party-dominated House of Representatives, we couldn’t do it,” continued the majority leader. “Republicans in the House are talking as if it’s some socialist program that was developed at Harvard or some other radically liberal place. I can’t imagine what their mindset is. “

Religion of Peace Update: 943 Pakistani women and girls were murdered last year for allegedly defaming their family’s honor

Some of these girls were only accused of marrying without permission. Fundamentalist Islam treats women worse than cattle.

(Al Arabiya) — At least 943 Pakistani women and girls were murdered last year for allegedly defaming their family’s honor, the country’s leading human rights group said Thursday.

The statistics highlight the growing scale of violence suffered by many women in conservative Muslim Pakistan, where they are frequently treated as second-class citizens and there is no law against domestic violence.

Despite progress on better protecting women’s rights, activists say the government needs to do more to prosecute murderers in cases largely dismissed by police as private, family affairs.

“At least 943 women were killed in the name of honor, of which 93 were minors,” wrote the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in its annual report.

Seven Christian and two Hindu women were among the victims, it said.
The Commission reported 791 “honor killings” in 2010.

Around 595 of the women killed in 2011 were accused of having “illicit relations” and 219 of marrying without permission.

Former first lady Laura Bush made a cause out of helping women in countries where their rights were trampled. Michelle Obama is obsessed with our food. 

Obama blames Republicans for Keystone pipeline cancellation. Claims they were rushing it, but his State Depart. has studied it for 3 years

Obama is still trying to blame Republicans for his cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. He claims they were rushing the decision. The truth is his State Department has been studying the pipeline for three long years.

CUSHING, Okla. (AP)  – President Barack Obama firmly defended his record on oil drilling Thursday, ordering the government to fast-track an Oklahoma pipeline while accusing Congress of playing politics with a larger Canada-to-Gulf Coast project.

Deep in Republican oil country, Obama said lawmakers refused to give his administration enough time review the controversial 1,170-mile Keystone XL pipeline in order to ensure that it wouldn’t compromise the health and safety of people living in surrounding areas.

“Unfortunately, Congress decided they wanted their own timeline,” Obama said. “Not the company, not the experts, but members of Congress who decided this might be a fun political issue decided to try to intervene and make it impossible for us to make an informed decision.”

Classy: Occupy Protester Gets Caught Dumping Tub of Human Waste in Bank

 What kind of mind would even conceive a plan like this?

(NBC NY) — Police say an Occupy Wall Street protester dumped a tub of human waste down a public stairwell and inside a bank vestibule, and got caught on video.

Police said Occupy Wall Street protesters were captured on surveillance video dragging a large receptacle of human urine and feces to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar streets last Wednesday evening, just before 8 p.m.

They then poured the waste down a set of stairs there, police said.

About 20 minutes later, one of the protesters entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and poured human waste inside there, police said.

A witness gave police the license plate number of the van used to transport the waste, and police were able to match the plate to its registered owner, a Philadelphia man.

He was arrested on Wall Street Saturday on charges of unlawful possession of noxious matter and aggravated unlicensed operation of motor vehicle.

Nancy Pelosi: Obamacare is like the Declaration of Independence or Something...

Botox on the brain...

Via The Hill:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday evening that the 2010 healthcare law, which prompted complaints from conservatives that Democrats far exceeded their constitutional authority, actually helps people meet the goal outlined in the Declaration of Independence, which promotes mankind’s rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Speaking on the House floor, Pelosi called on her colleagues to remember “what our founders put forth in our founding documents, which is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that is exactly what the Affordable Care Act helps to guarantee.”

Pelosi explained that the law gives people the flexibility they need to pursue these goals, since it makes it easier for them to switch jobs in order to pursue their career or family goals.

“A healthier life, the liberty to pursue happiness, free of the constraints that lack of healthcare might provide to a family,” she said. “If you want to be photographer, a writer, an artist, a musician, you can do so. If you what to start a business, if you want to change jobs, under the Affordable Care Act, you have that liberty to pursue your happiness.”

And so that is why I’m so pleased that this week we can celebrate the two-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.”

The Chicago Way: Democratic state lawmaker from Chicago allegedly recorded taking a bribe. Gets 76 percent of the vote.

It probably helped him at the polls.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A Democratic state lawmaker from Chicago charged last week with accepting a bribe overwhelmingly won his party's primary on Tuesday, reinforcing the reputation of the nation's third-largest city for turning a blind eye to corruption.

Derrick Smith, appointed a year ago to fill a vacancy in the Illinois House of Representatives, was leading with 76 percent of the vote with more than 80 percent of the ballots counted, according to the Chicago Board of Elections.

Federal prosecutors said they recorded Smith accepting $7,000 in cash from a government informant in exchange for writing a letter supporting a state grant for a day care center.

Smith was indicted by a grand jury, arrested, and freed on bond. He has yet to enter a plea in the case. If convicted, Smith could face a maximum of ten years in prison.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Requests Selective Service to Investigate Obama's Alleged Forged Selective Service Registration Form

Sheriff Joe has given the Selective Service 30 days to respond. He should prepare his next move, because they will ignore him regardless of the evidence.

PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has sent a letter to the Director of the U.S. Selective Service System headquarters in Arlington, Virginia requesting the agency to conduct an investigation into Barack Obama's Selective Service registration form from 1980.

This comes after the preliminary findings of Arpaio's six- month investigation that determined it may a forgery.
The letter also asks for an original form so forensic document examiners can analyze the document for authenticity.

Apraio claims he is just doing his job, and isn't targeting the president.

Notice the difference in Obama's and another one from the same time/area. Obama's year date stamp is 08 only and off center. This was made by buying a 2008 stamp and cutting it imperfectly in half and turning it upside down. Sheriff Joe's Cold Case Posse was able to duplicate this on video. (Note: 1980 stamps of this type are no longer available) No one has been able to produce an authentic registration with a two digit year Post Office date stamp.
