It's almost impossible now to watch something on TV and not hear a British accent. I'd rather hear American accents. I don't buy products that feature British accents in the commercials because I think Americans should have those jobs first. British actors aren't better, they're just foreign, right?

"Before the ink was dry on the Oath of Office," Arlen Specter said, the GOP had decided that they would never give the President any bipartisanship on any issue, because they want to defeat him in 2012. "I know, because I was in the Caucus," Specter said.

Are the Republicans are so scared of Obama's electoral success that they would shut down the rule of government?

That is why not one Republican would vote for health care reform That is why no Republican will vote for any of Obama's proposals, no matter what the issue is: they want to win in 2012.]

Why is this legal?

With the state of the economy and the healthcare fight, Republicans all over the airwaves see themselves as poised to make huge gains in the House and Senate late next year in the mid-term elections. However, here in the real world, a place that seemingly does not exist in the Republican mindset the numbers may tell a different story.

While President Obama and the Congress have lost some of their shine and popularity, it appears as if the American people simply despise the Republican Party, their leaders and tactics.

Republican senators attacking the cost of a Democratic health care bill showed far different concerns six years ago, when they approved a major Medicare expansion that has added tens of billions of dollars to federal deficits.

Michele Bachmann has become well known for her anti-government tea-bagger antics, protesting health care reform and every other government “handout” as socialism. What her followers probably don’t know is that Rep. Bachmann is, to use that anti-government slur, something of a welfare queen. That’s right, the anti-government insurrectionist has taken more than a quarter-million dollars in government handouts thanks to corrupt farming subsidies she has been collecting for at least a decade.

She's cute. She's dainty, but she's no talent, right?

Kanye West shouldn't have jumped on stage, but yikes. Why is she on Dancing With the Stars?!

Is this a normal battle tactic that is practiced?

In March, a father was laid off from his job as a raw materials coordinator for a plastics company called PolyOne, where he'd worked for 20 years. Then a few months after that, nearly triple again. They needed coverage so Mom could fight her cancer.

Dad's solution: a four-year hitch in the Army.

The Secret Service and local police are investigating after a swastika was found carved into a Massachusetts golf course green next to President Barack Obama's name.

Authorities say the vandalism was discovered early Monday on the 18th hole of the Lakeville Country Club.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) faced an eruption of rage from Tea Party activists at a town hall meeting Tuesday for his decision to work with Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on climate change and clean energy legislation.

In a New York Times op-ed published Sunday, Graham and Kerry discussed their commitment to achieving bipartisan legislation.

Sen. Graham has also independently expressed his own concerns on global warming:

Bush had a ton of private contractors take over functions that used to be run by the Pentagon. They profited so much that our army is poor. The soldiers have to fund their own supplies.

It's not like this is the revolutionary war. There is a ton of money and the contractors have it in off shore banks.

Shouldn't they be made to pay?

About the "secret" meetings with several members of the G20, the Brics, Japan, over the US dollar.

Republicans were gleeful when the US lost the Olympics, they were angry that the President won a prize and they want to keep the system of health care that makes global companies richer.

Now several Arab countries dumping the dollar price of oil and going to a basket of currency pricing, including Gold, is gaining traction in the markets. sends a send a signal that a changing economic world has grown and is growing tired, very tired, of the economic irresponsibility of the US.

No link -- here's an excerpt --October 06, 2009 - "The Independent" -- -- "In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar."

Does this planned demise of the dollar serve the Republican Anti-American agenda?

The Bible is being revised by conservatives who think it has gotten too liberal. Conservatives have decided to edit out the liberal parts.

That's the inspiration behind the Conservative Bible Project, which seeks to take the text back to its supposed right-wing roots.

Does a conservative bible help ALL of the people?

Nineteen more of Beck's advertisers have stopped supporting his show. That number includes two British companies who just announced that they've pulled their ads from the UK broadcast of Beck's show after hearing from customers.

Two companies--Waitrose (the British supermarket chain) and Metropolitan Talent Management--pulled their ads not only from Beck's show, but from Fox News in general.

Is Beck a newsman or a clown?

In the year since the election has ended, she has done nothing to expand her appeal beyond the base,” Steve Schmidt, McCain's campaign advisor said at a forum sponsored by The Atlantic magazine and web site.

Kenneth Hoagland, of Nashville, Tenn., was put in jail for getting a cold, reports Janell Ross of the Tennessean. Hoagland, previously bankrupted by a week-long stay in a hospital for his diabetes, was on a health insurance waiting period for a new job when what started as a cold landed him in a hospital for two days with a $1,200 tab. He could not pay, was afraid to miss work to show up in court, and was arrested on what's known as a "body attachment."

And Palestine has expensive health insurance companies like American taxpayers?

Do American Christians support this?

"Terrorism remains central to Israel's explanations of many of the most morally problematic of its policies, including the siege of Gaza and restrictions on Palestinians in the West Bank.

Despite everything, despite international denunciation unprecedented even by the standards of past Israeli operations, despite mind-reeling devastation of residential areas and unconscionable loss of life among Palestinian civilians, could the winter invasion of Gaza have actually been a success?"
