Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
(Yahoo/Finance)…NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of striking Verizon workers will return to work Tuesday, though their contract dispute isn’t over yet.
The 45,000 employees, who have been on strike since Aug. 7, agreed to return to work while they negotiate with Verizon Communications Inc. on the terms of a new contract. The workers are employed in nine states from Massachusetts to Virginia in the land line division.
Among the issues in dispute is the company’s move to freeze pensions and its demand that workers contribute to their health insurance premiums. The company argues that it has to reduce benefits as the landline business deteriorates. More Americans are forgoing such lines in favor of mobile phones. (more…)
SARAHPAC’s newest video…(h/t AFinch)…
I’m afraid the folks at Nasa are busy proving they’ve jumped the spaceship. Now that Obama’s put the last proverbial nail into Nasa’s coffin, they apparently have little else to do other than sit around concocting fanciful sci-fi scenarios. Keep reading for proof I’m not making this stuff up. (By the way, is Paul Krugman working for Nasa now?) (more…)
Americans have seen presidential motorcades come and go, but I doubt if anyone’s seen a presidential procession to top this. The cars in this coroner’s cavalcade outnumber the pedestrians many times over. (At least when the czar and czarina rode by in their gilded carriage, you could actually SEE them.)
Remember… he wouldn’t be needing all this security if it weren’t for all you evil rich Republican Tea Party JiHobbits out there. (more…)
(TheTigrrrrExpress)…(h/t AFinch). The left needed to destroy her since they despise minority conservatives, especially religious ones to the right on social issues. Yet Sarah Palin did not lose the election for the GOP in 2008. Lehman Brothers burned. She was a jolt of energy to the ticket. In a very roundabout way, Governor Palin played a small role in my current success. She was supposed to be the keynote speaker at a major Republican Women’s function at the Reagan Library. She was unable to attend, creating a speaking slot. The original emcee became the keynote speaker and I was given 15 minutes. That speech launched my speaking career, since speaking at the Reagan Library captures conservative attention nationwide. Yet despite speaking all over the country and meeting many politicos, I had never met her. She is kept on lockdown due to the many threats she gets from deranged leftists who despise a woman they have never met. I have never been to Alaska, but thankfully she came to Iowa. (more…)
(RealClearPolitics)...In New Hampshire this morning Gov. Rick Perry responded to President Obama’s suggestion that he “be more careful” about what he says.
Three mates set out on an amazing six-week trip around the world. Forty-four days, eleven countries, eighteen flights, thirty-eight thousand miles, an exploding volcano, two cameras and almost a terabyte of footage are involved. What you see is the journey of a lifetime crammed into one epic minute. Enjoy…….
(TammyBruce)…(h/t GracieD)…Obama is being driven around the Midwest today in an effort to give the impression that he cares. The RNC has mocks him via video and Romney has dubbed it the “Magical Misery Tour.” Lastly, tweet reminder that we’re paying for this ghoulish road trip of destruction. (more…)
(Examiner.com)…Sarah Palin: “Don’t retreat! Reload!”
Arizona’s Senator John McCain is a time tested war hero. He has seen more than his share of horror on the battle field. You would think that with his experiences he would have preserved his killer instincts for the political battle field. Something has happened though and he seems to want to compromise at every corner and throw in the towel with every fight. Raising the debt ceiling was his latest surrender. He told us if we did not raise it disaster would come. He voted to raise it and disaster has come anyway. It just seems like there is no more fight in him to do the right thing. (more…)
