the L word

Air America, the progressive talk radio network, said Thursday that it would cease broadcasting immediately, bowing to what it called a “very difficult economic environment.”

“It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding down of the business,” the chairman of Air America Media, Charlie Kireker, said in a memorandum.

The headwinds were enormous, he said, adding, “Radio is a dying industry.”

are you F%#*ING KIDDING ME?!?!

SERIOUSLY???

After pulling her laptop out of her carry-on bag, sliding the items through the scanning machines, and walking through a detector, she went to collect her things.

A TSA worker was staring at her. He motioned her toward him.

Then he pulled a small, clear plastic bag from her carry-on - the sort of baggie that a pair of earrings might come in. Inside the bag was fine, white powder.

She remembers his words: “Where did you get it?”

Two thoughts came to her in a jumble: A terrorist was using her to sneak bomb-detonating materials on the plane. Or a drug dealer had made her an unwitting mule, planting coke or some other trouble in her bag while she wasn’t looking.

She’d left her carry-on by her feet as she handed her license and boarding pass to a security agent at the beginning of the line.

Answer truthfully, the TSA worker informed her, and everything will be OK.

Solomon, 5-foot-3 and traveling alone, looked up at the man in the black shirt and fought back tears.

Put yourself in her place and count out 20 seconds. Her heart pounded. She started to sweat. She panicked at having to explain something she couldn’t.

Now picture her expression as the TSA employee started to smile.

Just kidding, he said. He waved the baggie. It was his.

And so she collected her things, stunned, and the tears began to fall.


Y’know what REALLY chaps my ass about this?  It’s not the fact that this jerkoff was busy MAKING EXTREMELY CRUEL JOKES instead of doing his job in an environment where Akmed is trying to blow airplanes out of the sky with his lingerie.

It’s the fact that if you or I, as passengers, had wandered in there and made a joke out of slipping a bag of mysterious white powder in our luggage, THIS SAME ASSHOLE WOULD HAVE ARRESTED YOU.

Kos and MO turn on Hillbuzz.  Worth reading.

Contains no new insights into the hard-left mentality - we knew they were like this - but it does serve to reemphasize the absolute necessity of keeping power as far from the hands of the far left as possible.

“In its present form without any changes I don’t think it’s possible to pass the Senate bill in the House,” said Pelosi, D[umbass]-Calif. “I don’t see the votes for it at this time.”

[Harry Shallow Sandy Grave Reid :  “We’re going to wait until the new senator arrives until we do anything more on health care.”

What a difference a day makes . . .

[1/19/10] “We will get the job done. I am confident of that. I have always been confident of that,” [Pelosi] told reporters as she left the Capitol at 11:30 p.m. ...

“Massachusetts has health care and so the rest of the country would like to have that too,” Pelosi said, referring to the state’s health care program. “So we don’t [think] a state that already has health care should determine whether the rest of the country should.”

no, you shut up

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court abruptly called a halt to encroachments on political speech in the name of campaign finance reform.  It ruled that spending limits imposed on corporations and unions infringed on constitutional rights, ending decades of attempts to limit advertising on their behalf.  It also overturned McCain-Feingold provisions barring some kinds of advertising in the weeks before an election…

Thank you. This issue alone was almost enough for me to NOT cast my vote for McCain. Thanks to Obama, I was forced to hold my nose and go against my own convictions and I’ve always been highly resentful of that. While I certainly have no love for big corporations or unions and the “abuse” of their power of numbers and money when it comes to influencing elections, it’s simply a matter of the Constitution period. I may not like what you say or how you $ay it but I will defend your right to do so.

ToDaZeD Word of the Day:  Preference Cascade

Ace

But Wait!  There’s Moah!

Erroll Southers, the embattled nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration, has announced his withdrawal ...

“...it is apparent that this path has been obstructed by political ideology.” ...

“...It is clear that my nomination has become a lightning rod for those who have chosen to push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people.”

Your ”nomination has become a lightning rod for those who have chosen to push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people.
FIFY.

“This partisan climate is unacceptable and I refuse to allow myself to remain part of their dialogue. ...”

“Unacceptable”?!??  Gettin a little too warm in the kitchen fer ya?  Too dirty prissy good for some political wrangling, are ya?  Or, perhaps....  just perhaps, that “false testimony to Congress” thingy ... yanno, about misusing yer FBI access to check up on your ex-wife’s new boyfriend?  Yeah—is that what’s worrying you, Binky?

It worried me.  It worries Jim DeMint.

“...The Senate could have had an open and transparent debate this week to approve Mr. Southers, but apparently, answering simple, direct questions about security and integrity were too much for this nominee. ...”

[And another thing] “...TSA screeners can already join unions, but collective bargaining would force TSA officials to ask union bosses for permission to make critical security changes. ...”

And that’s what I’d call trying to “push a political agenda at the risk of the safety and security of the American people.”

Every year, these folks parade obscene images of dismembered fetusus (feti?) in plain sight of a pre-school located on the corner. I think it’s child abuse.

Went to Mossberg’s site and the newer guns have that Lightning trigger, and as you said, safety on the top.

Here’s the photo of the gun in the post.  Mossberg 500 Persuader/Cruiser.
