1,000 Days

A red button with "1000 Days" on it.

1000 Days since Obama had a budget

Tonight it’s time for Obama to tell us how wonderful everything is…. but not so wonderful that he has to answer for it during the election.  Yay.

Santorum winning? Wow….

This is  becoming an interesting race.  Of course, last I heard, he was just up by five votes.  Dang….

 

Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator who for months languished at the bottom of Republican polls, may be hard-pressed to repeat his Iowa performance, where his solid conservative stances on social issues like abortion and gay marriage resonated with Republican voters. It’s not clear whether the message will work as well in states where the economy is a bigger issue or if he can come up with the funds or organization to sustain a national campaign.

Also, he has yet to face the intense scrutiny that has caused other conservative challengers to Romney to wither as soon as they climbed to the top of polls.

Coolest Chair Ever – from Humboldt County

From the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley -

Legendary Humboldt County trapper Seth Kinman captured grizzlies and fashioned them into articulated chairs.  …

“This was intended to surpass all his previous efforts, and was made from two grizzly bears captured by Seth. The four legs and claws were those of a huge grizzly and the back and sides ornamented with immense claws. The seat was soft and exceedingly comfortable, but the great feature of the chair was that, by touching a cord, the head of the monster grizzly bear with jaws extended , would dart out in front from under the seat, snapping and gnashing its teeth as natural as life. This chair Seth presented to [President] Johnson, September 8, 1865.”

Lions and Tigers … *on* *horseback*

The Daily Mail doesn’t like it, but… ZOMG!  LIONS ON FREAKING HORSEBACK!1!!1!

Anyhoo :

The country which gave you bears riding bikes now proudly presents … lions and tigers on horseback.

In one of the nation’s …  zoos, applauding spectators are treated to a bizarre display as a 30-stone lion leaps on to the horse’s back. …

After that, a 35-stone tiger climbs up on the same … steed for its turn in the limelight.
Granted, the article does kind of make me feel like this guy :
Still.  ON HORSEBACK!!!!

Occupy Wall Street – “You’re a bum, Jew!”

It seems like the “Occupy Wall Street” folks have taken on all of the negative characteristics that were falsely attributed to the TEA party folks.  Heck, they even lack racial diversity.    Heck, they seem so embarrassed by it that they’ve declared “LGBT” to be a color  :

Even the “unofficial” organizers of the protest events admit this is — or at least appears to be — problematic.

“That’s an interesting question, and it comes up often,” OccupyWallSt.org’s Patrick Bruner said in an email to TheDC. “Unfortunately, we have a very high turnover rate, and nobody as of yet has come up with official diversity related statistics for us. From observation, I can tell you that we’re not all white, and that we also have a huge LGBT [Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender] population.”

Some context – suddenly, there’s 153 bridges about to fall down.  And somehow the first stimulus package forgot to do anything about them.  Oops.

Obama vs Fact Check

Not so great, even according to the AP :

Obama did not spell out exactly how he would pay for the measures contained in his nearly $450 billion American Jobs Act but said he would send his proposed specifics in a week to the new congressional supercommittee charged with finding budget savings. White House aides suggested that new deficit spending in the near term to try to promote job creation would be paid for in the future – the “out years,” in legislative jargon – but they did not specify what would be cut or what revenues they would use.

Essentially, the jobs plan is an IOU from a president and lawmakers who may not even be in office down the road when the bills come due.
