New sizes at Starbucks (Updated)

PCWorld  "Forget about Tall, Grande and Venti, Starbucks has two new sizes: Plenta and Micra. The Plenta is a 128-ounce drink for caffeine addicts who can't get enough coffee, and for those who need just a tiny sip, you can get the 2-ounce Micra. And don't worry about all that paper waste from the new Plenta sized-cup, Starbucks says you can reuse your gigantic Plenta cups in a number of useful ways including as a planter, lampshade or yoga block."

Racist Van Jones Rally Cheered 9/11 Attacks



fastcompany.com

 Big Government  "When Obama administration Green jobs czar Anthony “Van” K. Jones resigned late Saturday night, September 5, 2009 over the long Labor Day weekend, a storm of breaking news about his radical anti-American history was being reported by conservative bloggers. One such storm was about the racist, hate-America rally Van Jones held the day after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the United States where speakers cheered the attacks and Jones himself said America deserved it."

Text of Van Jones remarks: 

■“It’s the bombs that the government has been dropping around the world that are now blowing up inside the U.S. borders.”
■“We’ve got something stronger than bombs, we have solidarity. That dream of revolutionary change is stronger than bombs.”

"That second item sounds a bit like someone who occupies the White House, doesn’t it?
"No wonder Jones resigned just after midnight on Sunday, mere hours after Powerline spilled the beans about what Jones said at this event.
"Also, at about the 3:05 mark, someone who may have been the inspiration for Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright’s sermon (at 2:10 through 2:45 of the video at the link) the next Sunday, talked of “chickens comin’ home to roost.” Imagine that."

Gateway Pundit  "The video also shows one speaker praising the 9-11 attackers as heroes. Disgusting… Yet this radical activist is still a hero on the left."

Chuck Schumer, Democrats and their techniques of demagoguery

Chuck Schumer Caught on Tape Instructing Fellow Dems on How to Spin Media, Networks Ignore
"The New York Times' Caucus blog explained:"

After thanking his colleagues — Barbara Boxer of California, Benjamin L. Cardin of Maryland, Thomas R. Carper of Delaware and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut — for doing the budget bidding for the Senate Democrats, who are facing off against the House Republicans over how to cut spending for the rest of the fiscal year, Mr. Schumer told them to portray John A. Boehner of Ohio, the speaker of the House, as painted into a box by the Tea Party, and to decry the spending cuts that he wants as extreme. “I always use the word extreme,” Mr. Schumer said. “That is what the caucus instructed me to use this week.”

The Extremists are Coming! The Extremists are Coming!  "Any casual observer of Schumer over the years knows labeling opponents extremists is his stock in trade, as ubiquitous as his Sunday press conferences. In Schumer's world, anyone to the right of Joseph Stalin is an extremist. What's newsworthy, I suppose, is the media finally notices this and the coordinated efforts by Democrats trash Republicans at every opportunity. Still, it'll be in the news cycle for a short period, quickly forgotten until the next press conference, when he'll probably change things up and call the GOP "radical extremists" instead."

Media Matters’ War on Fox News

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE "And we thought we had you. Using the media that really matters for America — our lapdog media, whose stories are written and broadcast by our friends from the old neighborhood, the same people we still live among on the Upper West Side, in Brentwood, on the Cape, and on the Island — we had kept Amerikkka blinkered and blindfolded, distracting the rubes from our slow-moving demolition derby with trash-culture stories whenever it seemed your side might finally be waking up.

Ohio town is taking the 'Easter' out of its annual egg hunt

nbc17.com  "As the White House prepares for its annual Easter Egg Roll -- a tradition dating back to 1878 -- some in the community of Munson Township are asking if it's okay in Washington, how could the word "Easter" offend someone in this small rural community?
"Still, township trustees are opting to call this year's Easter weekend event "The Spring Egg Hunt.""

Workers rights?

Worker's rights? Give me a break  "Right now in this country the government employee unions literally hire the people that they negotiate with. This they do with massive union contributions and get out the vote support for the candidates they favor. When it comes time to negotiate for wages or benefits the union leaders know that the very people that they're negotiating with our people that they put in office. The unwritten language of these negotiation sessions is: "

""Look, give us what we want and then go to the taxpayers to get the money that you need to pay for it..."



The Daily Reporter



Put up our sign or else! Wisconsin's new union protection racket  "Terri Gray the executive director for the chamber said that the union push started earlier in the week and it is not yet clear if their tactics were having an impact on local business.
"When reached for comment on Wednesday, Jesse Jackson said that the tactics being used by the unions seemed reasonable to him. Of course Jesse encourages his union pals to “remain nonviolent and disciplined in their protests,” wink-wink."

 Numerous Union Grove shops threatened with union boycott

"Dawn Bobo shows the sign that she put in the front window of herstore, Village Dollar, 1000 Main St. in Union Grove, Wednesday March 30, 2011. Her store is one of numerous Union Grove businesses threatened with "public boycotts" by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union. According to the letter businesses received Tuesday, they will be targeted for declining to display a sign stating, "This business supports workers rights," with an AFSCME logo"

Boortz: "Union Thuggery" "Now the unions are cranking up some intimidation tactics in Wisconsin. Members of the Wisconsin State Employees Union - AFSCME Council 24 - are now hammering Wisconsin businesses to support their so-called "workers' rights" campaign. Jim Parrett, a field representative of Council 24 for Southeast Wisconsin, is circulating a letter to businesses stating the following:"

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, "Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members...."

Are Workers Choosing Unions, or Are Unions Choosing Them? "Not only does this new rule disregard a fair and democratic precedent that’s been maintained in the industry for 75 years, it does so in the face of an American public fed up with regulatory agencies’ infringing upon private industry. In a time when our country is clearly calling for less intrusion on free enterprise in order to stimulate our weak economy and create more jobs, why should union bosses be allowed to unfairly take control of more industries for their own political incentives?" Rep. Phil Gingrey is a Republican congressman from Georgia.

Who Are the Rebels Fighting Libyan Government Forces?

GlobalSecurity.org  "Fighter planes and missiles from the international coalition are continuing to hit the forces of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The stated goal is to protect civilians, but many analysts say the international coalition has become, in essence, the rebels' air force. But who exactly are the rebels? In this report from Washington, our correspondent looks at the makeup of the Libyan opposition."  André de Nesnera March 30, 2011

Obama Cried, Kids Died

Ann Coulter  "Soon after President Bush's 9/11 speech vowing to go to war not only with terrorists, but those who supported them, Gadhafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid the victims' families $8 million apiece.
"After Bush invaded Iraq, Gadhafi suspended Libya's nuclear and chemical weapons program, inviting international inspectors to verify that the programs had been halted.
"A few years after that, Gadhafi paid millions of dollars to the victims of other Libyan-sponsored terrorist attacks from the '80s. In return, President Bush granted Libya immunity from terror-related lawsuits. "

Alan Caruba: Liberals I Loathe

Warning Signs  "Politics is not patty cake. While one hopes that civility will prevail, it is often hard to achieve this standard when confronted by people who don’t hesitate to lie, say rude things, and make lots of money while pretending to give a damn about “the workers” and, of course, ”the children.”"....
"So, here is a short list of liberals who make my skin crawl every time they show up on the TV screen."

Jimmy Carter’s Ill-Timed Visit to Cuba

Heritage  "The meeting will gloss over the Cuban regime’s unwavering support for Libya’s Muammar Qadhafi and condone the travesty of Fidel’s comparison of U.S.–NATO actions in Libya with the Fascists/Nazi attacks on Republican Spain in the 1930s.

"The visit will undercut the harder line taken by President Obama just last week in Santiago, Chile. There, in his major Latin American policy speech, Obama voiced frustration with the absence of democratic change in Cuba and reminded his audience that the Cuban people are “entitled to the same freedom and liberty as everyone else in this hemisphere.”"

Why is Jimmy Carter really in Cuba? "There's a lot of speculation that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter flew into Cuba Monday morning with a hidden agenda--gaining the release of U.S. contractor Alan Gross jailed for more than a year before being sentenced to 15 years in a two day trial for sedition earlier this month."

Russell Brand as...as...the EASTER BUNNY? (Updated)

'Hop' movie premiere: Russell Brand, James Marsden and the Hoff  "Married life sure has turned Russell Brand into a sweet little bunny -- or, wait, maybe that's the work of "Hop," which features Brand as a teenage bunny..."
Just be aware of the hack job this Obamite did on all American voters who did not support Barack Obama and on President Bush.

Russell Brand calls George Bush a ‘retard’ at MTV awards   "Ignoring the renowned patriotism of Americans, Brand told the Hollywood audience they must vote for Barrack Obama “on behalf of the world”, before insinuating that America had lower standards than Britain when it came to picking leaders.
"Some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president."   Watch this if you can.

Russell Brand upsets MTV audience with sex and politics  "The comedian angered some in attendance by repeatedly joking about the Jonas Brothers, the sons of a pastor, all of whom wear purity rings as a symbol of their vow not to have premarital sex."
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks called Brand a "slut" when she came on stage, prompting Brand to apologise to the boy band." 

The source of Brand's expertise on the subject.

MTV piles on the Palin family; host Russell Brand promotes Obama, bashes America, Bush, and Christians; viewer backlash; transcript added   "Wow. Check out the viewer backlash at the MTV Labs Blog. Looks like Brand also mocked Christian youths who wear promise rings and ridiculed the popular Jonas Brothers band as well. A sample:"... Michelle Malkin
