 The President stated:
"A week from tomorrow marks the 100th day of my administration.  In those next eight days, I ask every American to make an enduring commitment to serving your community and your country in whatever way you can.  Visit WhiteHouse.gov to share your stories of service and success.  And together, we will measure our progress not just in number of hours served or volunteers mobilized – but in the impact our efforts have on the life of this nation."

GOP Representative Phil Gingrey
Has Backbone, Then Loses It

"It's easy if you're Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks." The day after making the statement, Dr. Gingrey, the United States Congressman from Georgia, recanted the statement.

 {Mr. Limbaugh had stated on television that he is hoping for the Obama Administration to fail.  Mr. Hannity,  works for Fox News, a station known for being "...self-consciously down-market, rude. loud, opinionated....a lower-end, secondary news market." [The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch by Michael Wolff (Kindle Edition - Dec 2, 2008)] and Mr. Gingrich affirmed racially insensitive remarks made by Geraldine Ferraro.} 

The day after making his statement, Representative-Doctor Gingrey made this announcement on the Rush Limbaugh show:

"I know you reach millions of people across the country. I'm telling you, I heard from quite a few of them since my foot-in-mouth disease yesterday, and I just thank you so much for what you're doing, and we're with you 100 percent."

 The current state of the Republic party is alarming.  Falling in behind hate spewers is dangerous for the Bill of Rights, the country, the State of Florida and the City of Clearwater.  Our state was wrong to allow Mr. Limbaugh to buy his way out of his drug arrest for $30,000 and probation-like terms (not owning a guy and random drug testing).  Fox News is wrong because it presents opinions and distortions as news and people believe what they say.

A Warning from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

An excerpt from the Steal Back Your Vote! investigative comic

Voter suppression is real. It’s a crime. And it’s happening to YOU.

But there’s something that you can do to prevent it. That’s what this guide is about. Start with page 19: ‘7 Easy Steps to Steal Back Your Vote.’

For many years, top investigative reporter Greg Palast and I have been exposing voter suppression.

This is a deliberate strategy to keep minorities from voting, senior citizens from voting, young people from voting in an effort to suppress the vote and maintain their hold on power.

Our concern is not partisan. We need every American to vote: Democrats and Republicans. You can do all the campaigning you want in a battleground state like Ohio or New Mexico, but if your voters aren’t counted, you’re going to lose the Presidency–and our democracy.

Better Than Bush Humor?
 

"[Palin] knows more about energy than probably anyone in the United States of America."
 
"Across this country this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners...."

When asked about a survey that shows increased tobacco exports to Iran, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." 

"Senator Obama likes to talk loudly.   In fact, he said he wants to announce that he’s going to attack  Pakistan - Remarkable."        "Bomb. Bomb. Bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran."  (To the tune of the Beachboy's Barbara Ann).                                       Senator John McCain

 

 

Governor Palin Duped in Phoney Phone Call; thinks she is talking to the president of France.  Hear her on the BBC.

     The Last Thing a Leak Sees before it’s gone is STAN looking back)
Too often a roof estimator, unskilled in the art of finding
roof leaks will tell you a new roof is needed when there is
still life left in it.
      By experience, 85% of the roofs inspected
by Stan are repairable. Sooner or later every roof needs
to be replaced, but later is better than sooner for most
budgets. Call Stan. He’ll shoot you straight. If you need a
new roof, he’ll give you a fair bid. But repairing a roof with
life left in it allows you time to plan. All work guaranteed!
Free Estimates!!! Roof maintenance programs.!!!
