Where Are My Keys?

Because this is the most important thing in the United States right now..

This was the biggest issue that you saw in all those ads leading up to the election right?  Net neutrality?  Wasn't that the number one thing on people's minds last Tuesday?

Good to see the President respond to his constituients.

I'm just curious about one thing - if the only to way to make sure the Internet remains "pure" is by letting the Feds control it, how come it hasn't been "polluted" already?  What's stopped "powerful interests" from already doing exactly what the President is telling us will happen if the FCC isn't in charge?

See if you can figure out what the author was trying to convey..

Read this piece, and see if you can decipher what point York was trying to make.  I'll help you out a little, with a passage from it:

But then came a woman named Betsy Markey, who reminded the crowd that she was elected to the House of Representatives in 2008 but lost the next time around, in 2010, to a Tea Party Republican named Cory Gardner. Markey is now running for state treasurer, and, almost as an aside, told the crowd, "I am also the only Democratic woman running statewide."

It's true. Despite all the women on the stage, and all the talk about women's rights, when it comes to actually running women for statewide office, Colorado Democrats have fallen a little short. There are six statewide offices on the ballot in this election — governor, lieutenant governor, senator, secretary of state, attorney general, and treasurer — and in five of those races the Democratic candidates are men, Markey being the lone exception.

In addition, of the seven Democratic candidates for U.S. House seats from Colorado, six are men. (Incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette is the exception there.) In this intense election season, Democrats have filled the airwaves with soundbites from women and discussion of so-called women's issues. But the Democrats on the ballot are almost all men.

To me, the message is pretty clear.  York is pointing out the interesting choice that Colorado Democrats (lead by Mark Udall and his lovely ads) talk about women, women, women; but when it comes time to actually run candidates, the choices from the Party are almost exclusively men.

Others read the article and think it is about how in Colorado, neither Party runs women for office.

And that Condi Rice should be the choice for President of Colorado.

 

$100 says she's "pro-choice"..

 

Nice work, Detroit!

Using a soda can filled with coins as a fire alarm:

Where absent money leaves gaps, ingenuity fills in. Nowhere is that more true than in Detroit's fire departments, where, as Detroit Free Press reporter Tresa Baldas shows us, a soda can full of jangling coins and screws alerts the Motor City's long-suffering heroes when there's an emergency.

 

The system is brilliantly simple: A soda can full of rattling metal is balanced on top of the fire department's printer at the end of the tray. When the printer spits out an emergency alert, the paper knocks over the can. The crash of the can hitting the floor tells firefighters that it's time to suit up.

 

Who has been in charge of the purse strings in Motown for the last four or five generations?

However much they are paying you, it ain't enough..

 

But Sarah Palin was too dumb to be Vice President, right?

Behold, the moron that sits one heartbeat away from the most powerful chair in the World:

 

Note that he is reading from a teleprompter.

Does she not see the irony here?

My State begins to issue driver licenses to illegal immigrants, and some are angry over the amount of time it takes to get one:

When the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles started accepting appointments from foreign nationals online July 1, it received as many as 107,500 page views an hour, crashing the system for several days. The DMV expects to process 9,551 applicants through September.

“We are disappointed the department will only give licenses to those who are here unlawfully at five offices and by appointment only,” said Denise Maes, public policy director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. “They can only take appointments 90 days in advance and all of those are booked.”

Here's the part that made me do a double take:

The bill’s passage capped a multiyear effort by immigrant rights advocates in Colorado to secure a law that would allow those in the country illegally to apply for a drivers license.

“We’ve been working on this for more than three years now,” said Tania Valenzuela, a 24-year-old housekeeper who served on a committee that failed in 2011 to collect enough signatures to put a measure on the ballot allowing immigrants to obtain licenses.

“We thought it would roll out well but that hasn’t been the case,” said Valenzuela, who immigrated to Colorado illegally from Chihuahua, Mexico, 16 years ago and drives without a license. “It will take a few years for everybody to secure an appointment and that’s not acceptable -- it’s the law.”

Catch that?  The person who came to this Country 16 years ago - breaking the law in the process, and breaks the law every day when she drives her car - is upset that the law isn't being followed.

Incredible.

And the Media collectively yawns..

The US Embassy in Libya gets evacuated, the President goes golfing.

Do your damn jobs.

Not really helping your argument there, Congresswoman..

Jan Schakowsky shows how she is "suffering" when it comes to eating during a "Live the Wage" stunt:

Anything on there that you don't have on your weekly menu?

The reality is that if more people on food stamps had a menu similar to the Congresswoman, we would probably have less obesity and fewer incidences of diabetes.

What a joke the Democrat Party has become in the last few decades.

I guess Ms. Schakowsky has more meals ath The Palm, than at home.

Delusional..

If this is what "stronger than ever" looks like, what did it look like when it was weak??
