Feelings

Girl Power
"What I want to know is, where are the women?" Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) asked Issa before walking out of the hearing after the first panel. "I look at this panel, and I don't see one single individual representing the tens of millions of women across the country who want and need insurance coverage for basic preventative health care services, including family planning. Where are the women?" (Huffington Post, 2/16/2012)


Liberals are apparently so broke or so stupid that they now think that everyone should pay for their birth control. How much does a box of condoms cost these days?


Ten Years After
Pat Buchanan is out at MSNBC. The conservative pundit, who spent ten years on the air for the network, wrote in an essay that political pressure was behind his departure. (WSJ, 2/17/2012)


What is another way that Liberals are like Communists? They prefer a single, state-controlled media (think Pravda). They despise Fox, but Fox employs Beckel, Williams and Colmes among its commentators. And all have admitted at one time or another how they are quietly pressured by the Left for appearing on Fox. MSNBC would rather just not have any conservatives....makes things simpler.


Parking Wars
The Rev. Al Sharpton tried to move heaven and earth yesterday to keep his SUV from being towed at La Guardia Airport — but no amount of preaching could stop Port Authority cops from impounding the vehicle. An officer rolled up on the 2008 Lincoln Navigator at around 2 p.m. outside the Delta and US Airways terminal as the MSNBC host’s driver waited to pick him up in a clearly marked “no standing” zone, said PA Police spokesman Al Della Fave. PAPD cop Oscar Ruiz asked the driver for his paperwork and quickly discovered that the SUV had a suspended registration “due to lack of insurance,” the spokesman said. At that point, Sharpton emerged from the terminal after a flight from Washington, DC, and raised holy hell over the situation. “He begins yelling, saying the cop was just doing this because of who he was,” a source said.

What is the Rev doing in an SUV? Shouldn't he be in a Prius? And what's with the no insurance? During the healthcare debate, Liberals said that forcing people to buy health insurance was no different than forcing them to buy car insurance. But the Rev apparently doesn't even want to buy car insurance....so where does that leave us?


On the Rise
Since the end of 2011, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is up more than 8% to $3.52, according to data released on Monday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Gas prices tend to increase during the first half of the year, but this is the earliest the average price per gallon has surpassed the $3.50 mark. Prices at the pump could break $4 later this year – typically the point where fuel costs start eroding economic growth, says IHS Global Insight economist Chris Christopher.

The media is ginning up the economy to aid Obama's reelection effort. Let's see what they say about $4 gas.
