"IT'S THE PEOPLE'S SEAT"
THIS IS AWESOME! After David Rodham Gergen asked candidate Brown the following:
Are you willing, under those circumstances, to say, "I'm going to sit in Teddy Kennedy's seat, and I'm going to be the person that's going to block it for another 15 years?"
Brown's fantastic comeback:
Scott Brown at the Massachusetts Senate debate. "With all due respect, it's not the Kennedy's seat, it's not the Democrats' seat, it's the people's seat."
HT: Rush Limbaugh and American Glob
(I believe American Glob posted the vid on youtube, then Rush embedded the link on his website..thanks to both!)

LA Times: Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama: The approval gap silently shrinks to a few points
It's hard to hide it...even the LA Times has to admit it...Sarah Palin is gaining momentum while Obama's approval rating is sinking to new lows:
Not that it matters politically because obviously she's a female Republican dunce and he's obviously a male Democrat genius.
But Sarah Palin's poll numbers are strengthening.
And President Obama's are sliding.
Guess what? They're about to meet in the 40s.
Democrats are worried...as well they should be...this mess that our country is in belongs solely to them...they know they are in trouble with the electorate, even as the democrats in congress try to bulldoze through a power-grabbing bill disguised as "healthcare reform"...well, we just aren't buying it...
the popularity of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi whose current favorable poll ratings are -- let's see here -- OMG, only about half of Palin's.

Sarah Palin's book signing in Roanoake, VA...video is great
Politico's great recap of the Sarah Palin book signing over the weekend in Roanoake, VA...fans lined up more than 24 hours before the signing...and stayed outside all night in the cold weather...

WA TIMES: TIMELINE ON NEA'S TRANSFORMATION FROM ARTS FUNDER TO OBAMA'S MOUTHPIECE
THE WASHINGTON TIMES HAS BROKEN DOWN THE TIMELINE OF NATIONAL ENDOWMENT OF THE ARTS TRANSFORMATION INTO A MOUTHPIECE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA:
Timeline:
November 10, 2008: Former NEA chief named to Obama transition team. Bill Ivey, NEA head under Bill Clinton, will handle arts and cultural issues in the transition.
January 13, 2009: Arts groups lobby Obama transition team for stimulus money. As part of a larger group, Americans for the Arts, the Literary Network and Theatre Communications Group propose to the Obama transition that more than $1 billion be funneled through the NEA as part of the stimulus plan. All three would later endorse the Obama administration health initiative. Robert Lynch, head of Americans for the Arts, meets twice with transition officials. link 1link 2
Late January 2009: Obama transition official proposes linking NEA grantees to the White House: “I worked hard to try to forge a link between the arts agencies and mainstream policy in the West Wing of the White House. I know that there is serious consideration being given to placing an arts-and-culture portfolio within the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Engagement in the Domestic Policy Council. I worked hard to get that done and I think that will happen,” says former NEA chief Bill Ivey.
Here is a complete list of the recipients...interesting reading:
National Endowment for the Arts Announces Second Round of Grants for FY 2009
February 17, 2009: President Barack Obama signs stimulus bill. Included in the bill are millions for NEA grants.
April 30, 2009: First major NEA grants of Obama administration announced. Groups that would later endorse the Obama health reform plan receive more than $700,000.
Alliance of Artists Communities: $50,000
Arts & Business Council: $10,000
Association of Independent Colleges of Art & Design (and member groups): $115,000
Association of Writers & Writing Programs (and member groups): $130,000
Fractured Atlas: $20,000
National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture: $160,000
National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts: $35,000
Society for Arts in Healthcare: $15,000
Theatre Communications Group: $175,000
VSA Arts: $10,000
May 12, 2009: Rocco Landesman nominated to head the National Endowment for the Arts.
June 19, 2009: Obama advisor reveals plan to connect “administration objectives” and “cultural actors.” Obama Transition advisor advisor Bill Ivey is taped saying, “I wanted to see some real connection between administration objectives and the capacity of all the cultural actors in government. I made some progress. I got some agreement.”
July 7, 2009: Obama administration releases first NEA grants from stimulus package. Groups that would later endorse the Obama health reform plan receive more than $1.2 million.
Americans for the Arts: $50,000
Alliance of Artists Communities (and member groups): $725,000
Society for Arts in Healthcare: $50,000
Theatre Communications Group: $50,000
American Association of Community Theatre (and member groups): $25,000
Association of Independent Colleges of Art & Design (and member groups): $150,000
Association of Writers & Writing Programs: $50,000
National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts (and affiliates): $150,000
Aug. 6, 2009:NEA invites arts groups to discuss “United We Serve” initiative. Invitation comes from the email account of Yosi Sergant, director of communications for the National endowment for the Arts. Later when The Washington Times asks Sergant about the email, he lies about his involvement in the conference call.
Aug. 7, 2009: Landesman confirmed as NEA head.
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING...BIG GOVERNMENT HAS EXPOSED THIS CONFERENCE CALL OF THE WHITE HOUSE USING THE NEA TO PUSH IT'S AGENDA ON HEALTH CARE:
Aug. 10, 2009: NEA holds conference call asking grantees to get involved in politics. NEA Communications Director Sergant makes his wishes clear during the call: “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand-new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. … So bear with us as we learn the language, so that we can speak to each other safely and we can really work together to move the needle and to get ... stuff done. … I would encourage you to pick something, whether it's health care, education, the environment.... Then my ask would be to apply your artistic, creativity community's utilities. Bring them to the table. … Take photos. Take video. Post it on your blogs. Get the word out. Like I said, this is a community that knows how to make a stink. Do it. Do it within your town. Do it nationally. Call on other producers, marketers, publicists, art -- you know -- artists, people from within our community and get them engaged."
Aug. 12, 2009: 1st press release 'Statement … in support of Comprehensive Health Care Reform.' Two days after the conference call, arts groups endorse the Obama health plan. “We call on congress to pass: A health care reform bill that will create a public health option … There is little time to waste as a broken system continues to leave far too many behind and adds trillions to our national debt.” Sixteen of the 21 groups that signed the press release either directly received grants from the NEA or are affiliated with groups that received NEA grants within 150 days of issuing the endorsement.
Aug. 13, 2009: 2nd press release 'Coalition of Arts Groups Issues Urgent Call to Congress for Healthcare Reform.' The next day, the groups release a new version of the statement. “As national arts service organizations representing thousands of nonprofit arts organizations at the state and local level … we call on Congress to pass a health reform bill,” the groups write. The statement is published on the Americans for the Arts web site.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT...I AM WATCHING CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS...WAITING FOR THEIR REPORT ON THIS...

Pro-Life Advocate Murdered Outside Michigan School While Protesting Abortion
Owosso, MI (LifeNews.com) -- Local officials and state police are confirming that a pro-life advocate was shot and killed outside a high school in this Michigan town. The person, who is described as well-known but whose identity has not been released, was shot multiple times while protesting abortion outside Owosso High School.
Officials say the shooting occurred at 7:30 a.m. local time and most students were inside the school building at the time of the incident.
State police have also confirmed they apprehended a suspect about 8:15 a.m. at the suspect's home in this small community northeast of Lansing.
The shooting did not take place on school property but officials have locked down the school and taped off most of the front portions of the school grounds.
Now, local police say there has been a second, possibly related shooting, in Owosso that they are now investigating. The suspect in custody may have been involved in the second shooting that took place at a gravel company and officials say they are looking for other suspects who may have been involved.
"We have two murders," Shiawassee County sheriff George Braidwood told the Argus Press. "We believe they are related and we have a suspect in custody.
According to the Associated Press, in the spot where the protester stood, a black car is parked and a portable oxygen tank is lying next to a sign with a picture of an unborn child and the words life.
NBC 25 is reporting that interim school superintendent, Susan Wooden says the person is a well-known local pro-life advocate -- a man who frequently stands in high traffic areas with the sign to protest abortion.
LifeNews.com has learned that the pro-life advocate is James Pullion and the local Argus Press newspaper in Owosso has confirmed that to be the case. He was reportedly shot multiple times.
Gary Sheph, a local resident who lives near the high school, told the paper, he was sleeping when he heard “four shots and tires squeeling.”
“I just saw several people that I knew who were medical officials working on (Pouillon) and giving him CPR,” Shepherd said. “It's a pretty sad day when somebody shoots someone over a political agenda that he had. He was always known as the ‘sign man.' ... This country is based on freedom of speech.”
Father Frank Pavone, the director of Priests for Life, has commented on the shooting in an email to LifeNews.com.
"We do not know the motive yet. But this is a time to console one
another, and to renew our determination to organize peaceful protests," he said. "It is no time for fear."
Pavone called on abortion advocates to comdemn the shooting.
"And I am waiting to hear the abortion advocates condemn this killing," he said.
The shooting follows on the heels of the killing of late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller of Kansas, who had been under investigation by the state medical board for allegedly doing illegal abortions.
Abortion advocates came down hard on the pro-life community for allegedly bearing responsibility for the shooting even though it appears the alleged assailant, Scott Roeder, has no official connections with any pro-life groups.
Leading pro-life organizations are expected to condemn today's shooting and call on pro-abortion groups to do the same.

DEAR LEADER TO INDOCTRINATE CHILDREN - TEACHERS GIVEN 'TO-DO' LIST
UNBELIEVABLE!...OR IS IT?
PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities:
President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education September 8, 2009
Before the Speech:
Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions: Who is the President of the United States? What do you think it takes to be President? To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking? Why do you think he wants to speak to you? What do you think he will say to you?
Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.
Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
During the Speech:
As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following: What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President asking me to do? What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.
After the Speech:
Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.
Students could discuss their responses to the following questions: What do you think the President wants us to do? Does the speech make you want to do anything? Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us? What would you like to tell the President?
Teachers could encourage students to participate in the Department of Education’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest.
On September 8th the Department will invite K-12 students to submit a 2
video no longer than 2 min, explaining why education is important and how their education will help them achieve their dreams. Teachers are welcome to incorporate the same or a similar video project into an assignment. More details will be released via www.ed.gov
.
Extension of the Speech: Teachers can extend learning by having students
Create posters of their goals. Posters could be formatted in quadrants or puzzle pieces or trails marked with the labels: personal, academic, community, country. Each area could be labeled with three steps for achieving goals in those areas. It might make sense to focus on personal and academic so community and country goals come more readily.
Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals.
Write goals on colored index cards or precut designs to post around the classroom.
Interview and share about their goals with one another to create a supportive community.
Participate in School wide incentive programs or contests for students who achieve their goals.
Write about their goals in a variety of genres, i.e. poems, songs, personal essays.
Create artistic projects based on the themes of their goals.
Graph student progress toward goals.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS 'RECOVERY'
DRUDGE REPORT HAS A LINK TO THIS ARTICLE FROM THE UK TELEGRAPH:
There is something wrong with the entire recovery tale, which ignores the fact that excess plant is still at the highest level since the Great Depression (capacity use is 70pc in Europe, 68pc in the US, 65pc in Japan, and as low as 50pc in some countries, according to the World Bank’s Justin Lin). Companies will have to cut jobs and investment.
Soaring “confidence” indicators have decoupled from reality. The world economy is still prostrate. GDP has shrunk 4pc, 6pc, 8pc, even 12pc or more in a large group of countries. There it more or less sits, like a deflated soufflé.
THIS IS SCARY STUFF...BUT EVEN MORE INTERESTING...AND TERRIFYING IS THIS:
Japan is the world’s second biggest economy. It lives on exports. It is also a key part of the supply chain for the Chinese economy. How can this hard data be reconciled with the extreme V-shaped recovery already priced in by the markets?
Is this just a glut of ships or is this telling us what the Shanghai market is also telling us, that credit tightening by the Chinese government is pulling the rug from underneath the latest commodity bubble?
THERE...THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S INVOLVEMENT IN ALL OF THIS...
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WARNING ABOUT BORROWING AT THE RATE WE HAVE AND THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS WE HAVE FROM NOT ONLY ONE OF OUR WORLD COMPETETITORS...CHINA IS REALLY NO FRIEND TO THE UNITED STATES...
SURE, THEY COME HERE AND BUY UP INVESTMENTS...BUT, REALLY, IS THAT A GOOD THING?
I AM NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT...I AM WORRIED...AND IF YOU AREN'T...YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION...

SHOCKER: REAL US UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 16%
FROM BREITBART NEWS:
The real US unemployment rate is 16 percent if persons who have dropped out of the labor pool and those working less than they would like are counted, a Federal Reserve official said Wednesday.
"If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking -- so-called discouraged workers -- and those who are working fewer hours than they want, the unemployment rate would move from the official 9.4 percent to 16 percent, said Atlanta Fed chief Dennis Lockhart.

WEEP NO TEARS FOR TED KENNEDY'S PASSING...HOW OLD WOULD MARY JO KOPECHNE BE TODAY?
PERHAPS THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE RESERVED IN HELL FOR TEDDY KENNEDY...
JULY 18, 2009 WAS THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF MARY JO KOPECHNE'S DROWNING:Sometime around midnight, on July 18, 1969 Kennedy drove his Oldsmobile 88 off of a small bridge on Chappaquiddick island, into eight feet of chilly water. The vehicle landed upside-down. While Kennedy managed to free himself from the wreck and swim to safety, his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne was left in the car to drown.
I WEEP NO TEARS FOR TED KENNEDY'S PASSING...
Once he reached shore, Kennedy claims to have made seven or eight attempts to rescue Kopechne, but could not free her.
Kennedy then walked back to the cottage where he and four other men, were partying with several young women known as the “Boiler Room Girls“ who had worked on Robert Kennedy‘s campaign. Though Kennedy passed by a fire station and a private home to return to the cottage, he never stopped to ask for help for the trapped Kopechne.
He returned to the party and according to Kennedy himself, informed his cousin and a friend of the situation. The two men, Joseph Gargan and Paul Markham claim to have returned to the scene of the accident and made several unsuccessful attempts to free Kopechne.
Then Kennedy’s story takes an even stranger turn.
After the failed rescue attempts, Kennedy claims to have jumped back into the water and made the 500-foot swim across the channel back to Edgartown. He then walked back to his hotel and spent the night. He even took the time to change clothes and pay a visit to the front-desk, to complain about a noisy party--no doubt Kennedy's sloppy attempt at securing an alibi.
I'LL SAY AGAIN...I WEEP NO TEARS FOR TED KENNEDY'S PASSING...HE LEFT THAT POOR GIRL TO DROWN...
The next morning, Gargan and Markham around 8:00 a.m., and were supposedly shocked to discover that Kennedy never reported the accident to police. According to Kennedy‘s own testimony, he told them: "about my own thoughts and feelings as I swam across that channel ... that somehow when they arrived in the morning that they were going to say that Mary Jo was still alive"
The two men along with Kennedy went back to Chappaquiddick, where Kennedy spent some time making phone calls, seeking advice from various individuals as to how to proceed.
Meanwhile, two fisherman had discovered the submerged car and notified police. At 8:45a.m. a diver recovered the lifeless body of Mary Jo Kopechne.
It was not until 10a.m., over nine hours after driving-off of the bridge that Ted Kennedy went to the police station in Edgarton to report the accident.
Kennedy then gave the following prepared statement to police: “On July 18, 1969, at approximately 11:15 p.m. in Chappaquiddick, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, I was driving my car on Main Street on my way to get the ferry back to Edgartown. I was unfamiliar with the road and turned right onto Dike Road, instead of bearing hard left on Main Street. After proceeding for approximately one-half mile on Dike Road I descended a hill and came upon a narrow bridge.
The car went off the side of the bridge. There was one passenger with me, one Miss Mary [Kopechne], a former secretary of my brother Sen. Robert Kennedy. The car turned over and sank into the water and landed with the roof resting on the bottom. I attempted to open the door and the window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt. I was exhausted and in a state of shock.
I recall walking back to where my friends were eating. There was a car parked in front of the cottage and I climbed into the backseat. I then asked for someone to bring me back to Edgartown. I remember walking around for a period and then going back to my hotel room. When I fully realized what had happened this morning, I immediately contacted the police”
In a move which must have been rather tortuous for her parents, Kennedy attended Mary Jo's funeral, wearing a neck brace (which he reportedly never wore again) and looking rather pathetic.
The diver who recovered Kopechne’s body, John Farrar testified at the official inquest that her body was found where the air pocket would have formed. He said: “Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim's side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car.”
A week after the incident, Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and received a suspended two-month sentence. Kennedy then went on national television to repeat his rather implausible story, and to ask for the public’s “prayers.”
The ensuing scandal and questionable details given by all of those involved is now left to speculation. It was obvious to most people that Kennedy had allowed a young girl to drown, in a desperate and self-serving attempt to protect his political career.
FLOWERY WORDS ARE BEING SPOKEN AT THE PASSING OF TED KENNEDY...BUT THOSE WORDS ARE MEANINGLESS...THIS MAN WAS A MURDERER...

LONDON AND EUROPE WITHIN IRAN MISSILE RANGE IN 3-4 YEARS
FOUND THIS GEM OVER AT CLOSING VELOCITY:
As I reported after the Sejjil-2's unexpected success in May, over 20 European capitals are already within range. As Rubin correctly observes, they've achieved the breakthrough (solid fuel & staging) --- now it's just a matter of perfecting it in order to reach the rest of Europe.
With Iranian missile technology advancing by leaps and bounds, an intransigent Russia, and a pusillanimous Administration, what a great time to be going back to the drawing board on European missile defense...
WELL EVERYONE IS ON PAUSE EXCEPT THE IRANIANS...SOMEONE HAD BETTER TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY...

Iran could have the ability to strike most of Europe with a ballistic missile within three or four years if it made an all-out push, the former head of Israel's missile defense program said on Thursday.
If correct, the timeline cited by Uzi Rubin, a leading authority on Iran's program, puts a fresh note of urgency into a diplomatically thorny debate over building a multibillion-dollar anti-missile shield in Europe.
