Pelosi: 500 Million Jobs Lost Per Month Without ODAB

The new Energy Secretary said yesterday that within a century there would be no more agriculture in California thanks to global warming.

 

The Democrats spend about $100,000 in taxpayer money per year on their annual caucus retreat to a ritzy resort usually reserved for non-political fat cats.

 

Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says that the Obama Administration has set the highest ethical bar ever.

 

It's only been two weeks since Obama entered office, and he's already tired of being in the White House.  If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

 

Republicans managed to kill a $246 million Hollywood bailout through one of the amendments offered by Sen. Tom Coburn and an extra $25 billion for infrastructure in the ODAB.  They did add a car-loan subsidy, but right now they don't have the votes to pass it in the Senate.  Also to note is that the Democrats have failed to accomplish their basic function, to pass the budget to fund the federal government, because they know they couldn't pass two spending bills back-to-back.  President Obama says that if Congress doesn't pass it then there'll be a catastrophe.  By the way, Nancy Pelosi, how many jobs are going to be lost if we don't pass this ODAB?

 

Obama wants to limit executive pay to $500,000 per year for any company receiving a bailout, calling it bad taste and bad strategy.  Barney Frank wants to extend that limit to every company in the United States.  Wall Street doesn't like the limit as it exists now.

 

Auto sales were down across the board in January, especially by companies that were bailed out.  You think other people are exercising their power of choice and choosing not to buy from bailed-out automakers?

 

An Iraqi extremist Muslim organized the rapes of over 80 young Iraqi women so that they could be trained to be suicide bombers.

 

Eleven former Guantanamo Bay detainees are on Saudi Arabia's Most Wanted List.

 

A new study is out showing that government school teachers are inflating grades to push kids through school whether or not they have the knowledge they're supposed to have.

 

A new bill in the State House would offer a tax credit to anybody to buy a home in Georgia.  Working on the next bubble…

 

As bad as the economy apparently is, sales of lottery tickets are up about 2.5%.

 

A Houston County delegation went up to Atlanta yesterday, and they all wanted to know one thing:  what did Governor Perdue do with that $21 million?

 

Check out the biggest boobs in the world (and no, I'm not talking about Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank).
