Shhh... In Case You Missed It
Author: Raine
Date: 01/03/2013 16:06:15
Last night this was reported on Lawrence O'Donnells show, and I believe it is worth mentioning again. Here is some of the transcript:
In other words, the Senate functioned. It functioned in a very big way. Not necessarily the best way, but it functioned in doing part of the work it was meant to do: confirm Presidential Nominations The Senate was practically empty and by unanimous consent, over 100 stalled confirmations were approved. You can take a look here. Having no other senator in the chamber prevented a filibuster which would have entailed a simple objection to any of these nominees.
We may never really know why Mitch McConnell agreed to allow Harry Reid to use this procedural action. It may have been in return for a delayed deal on filibuster reform. There have been many times that I have criticized Mr. Reid and will no doubt do so in the future. What was illustrated to me last night is that there is a reason why this man is the Senate leader. He may be quiet, but he is indeed a policy wonk. He knows procedures and the inner working of the legislative branch of Congress. There is something to be said about that. There is something to be said about experience and using that experience to make government function.
As O'Donnell pointed out, the media didn't tell people this because the media likes controversy and drama. Sadly, it appears that so do many elected officials. All one has to do is take a look at the actions of House speaker Boehner in the past few weeks (months, years?). Take a look at all of the shenanigans from freshmen representatives in the 111th and 112th congress. It is a classic example of compare and contrast. Harry Reid deserves credit for the quiet thankless work he does -- it is leadership. I'd also like to add that Mitch McConnell does get credit for making something work in this 'do-nothing' Senate. Yes, it pains me to say it. Harry Reid even stepped aside in the budget negotiations to let Vice President/Senator Biden step in.
So for today, let's give the quiet man a big shout out. This is the second lame duck congress the President has had, and with the help of people like Harry Reid, we were able to see historic legislation that also included nominations that are important to the nation, such as federal judicial posts finally being filled. That allows justice to be done. We should not be seeing vacant seats in the judiciary.
We have a long way to go with our legislative branch; this week was a good start -- no thanks to those that prefer to see and participate in dysfunction. Saying no all the time is not functioning, it is not governing, it is obstruction. Maybe Mitch McConnell remembered that this week. Let's hope more people do.

“Harry Reid, who every day does much more than most people in the news media realize, and definitely accomplishes much more than the news media ever reports, pushed through pages and pages of nominations for President Obama yesterday when everyone was focused on what the House would do on the fiscal cliff vote. And Harry Reid did that with the active but invisible help of Mitch McConnell who did his part to make sure that no Republicans would vote against any of those nominations. And what did the United States Senate do today, that dysfunctional United States Senate? According to the news media, absolutely nothing.”
In other words, the Senate functioned. It functioned in a very big way. Not necessarily the best way, but it functioned in doing part of the work it was meant to do: confirm Presidential Nominations The Senate was practically empty and by unanimous consent, over 100 stalled confirmations were approved.

Anyone see this move Harry Reid made late night in the Senate, to get dozens of Obama nominations pushed through on unanimous consent? I'm still looking for a full list of the confirmations to see how many of them were judicial..

Assault rifles are good for one thing only. Hunting? Sure. People.
The Assault rifle's strength is volume of fire - not necessarily accuracy or range, which you do need for hunting.

The 5.56 mm round is way to small for hunting anything larger than say squirrels. Since the round is prone to tumbling when it hits the target it is going to really cause serious damage to anything it hits (see hydro static shock).

This is one case where Big Government (in other countries) goes too far:
A 15-year-old is suing the Icelandic state for the right to legally use the name given to her by her mother. The problem? Blaer, which means "light breeze" in Icelandic, is not on a list approved by the government.
Like a handful of other countries, including Germany and Denmark, Iceland has official rules about what a baby can be named. In a country comfortable with a firm state role, most people don't question the Personal Names Register, a list of 1,712 male names and 1,853 female names that fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules and that officials maintain will protect children from embarrassment. Parents can take from the list or apply to a special committee that has the power to say yea or nay.

I am deleting the Blog stub, but putting the body of it here:
I'm still putting things together, but for now, please keep the children of Newtown in your hearts and thoughts today. ###FOLD###
They are returning to school for the first time since the shooting.Parents wishing to remain with their kids, ages 5 to 10 in kindergarten through grade 4, will be allowed to accompany them to their classrooms and afterwards may stay in the school's "lecture room" for as long as they like, according to a memo to parents on the school's website. Counseling will be available for students and parents at the new school, about 7 miles south of the scene of the shooting.
"I'm not sure I'm ready yet to totally let them go," Sandy Hook parent Sarah Swansiger said on CNN about her trepidation over the return to school.
When the students return around 9 a.m. Thursday, they will find all of the belongings they left behind when teachers and police evacuated them from Sandy Hook nearly three weeks ago after Adam Lanza burst through the school doors and opened fire.
They will be welcomed to a building that has been decked out as a "Winter Wonderland" with the help of thousands of kids from around the world.

Iceland is one of those countries that doesn't like loaner words from other languages. This is to keep the language pure (see also, France, pretentiousness of).
As to your on the other hand comment, YES IT DOES. How many spelling of "Brittany" do we need?

Slime Porner pulled the plug on Current TV as soon as the sale to Al-Jazeera was announced as part of Time Warner's plan to dump underperforming networks. So far, the only network they dropped was Ovation TV until this. So far, they have only been dropping independent networks they haven't been paying that much for. I wonder what would happen if Time Warner decided to drop an underperfoming Nickelodeon or ESPN channel and how that conglomerate would respond to it. There's speculation that IFC and WE might be on their chopping black and I'm sure we will have the crawls ready if they announce that they are pulling the plug.

I understand that Time Warner did have some sort of partnership deal and perhaps should have been consulted. Still, this is a loss for progressives. I respect Al Jazeera's coverage, but I have to say that I did not expect Current to end so quickly.

been looking for a video or link to something else Lawrence O'Donnell said last night, this was the best I could find. He did say this:
‎"Lawrence O'Donnell just said everything we've been saying about the fiscal cliff deal but went even further. He noted that the income threshold for the top tax rate under Clinton would be $397,000 today (indexed for inflation). The $250,000 figure was set 20 years ago. So by starting with $250K and "caving" by raising the threshold to $400K, Obama basically undid the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers, and most Republicans (and most pundits on the Left) didn't even realize what he was doing. Not only did he get Republicans to vote to raise taxes for the first time in 22 years (not a single Republican voted for Clinton's tax hike on the wealthy), but he got extended unemployment benefits and a five-year extension in refundable tax credits (i.e., entitlements) for low-income taxpayers. O keeps playing chess, and everyone else keeps seeing checkers." — DH Stone (The Pragmatic Progressive Page)
Comment by Will in Chicago on 01/03/2013 17:23:43
This is something that should be shared widely. I think that people on the Left legitimately had concerns about this deal, for many reasons. My worry is that the GOP will continue taking the economy hostage. I think that from here on out, the President should remind whoever takes up the Speaker's gavel that the new House has more Democrats than before.

He noted that the income threshold for the top tax rate under Clinton would be $397,000 today (indexed for inflation). The $250,000 figure was set 20 years ago. So by starting with $250K and "caving" by raising the threshold to $400K, Obama basically undid the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest taxpayers, and most Republicans (and most pundits on the Left) didn't even realize what he was doing. Not only did he get Republicans to vote to raise taxes for the first time in 22 years (not a single Republican voted for Clinton's tax hike on the wealthy), but he got extended unemployment benefits and a five-year extension in refundable tax credits (i.e., entitlements) for low-income taxpayers. O keeps playing chess, and everyone else keeps seeing checkers." — DH Stone (The Pragmatic Progressive Page)
Here's the link.. it's not a standard player so I don't think it can be embedded.

Say what? Beck tried to buy Current?
Other suitors who didn't share Current's ideology were rebuffed. Glenn Beck's The Blaze approached Current about buying the channel last year, but was told that "the legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view," according to a person familiar with the negotiations.

I guess he's not getting that many customers subscribing to it online. The Blaze did get added to Dish Network but it is not available on other providers since I think they actually gave Dish exclusivity.

Since Al-Jazeera English has struggled to get US distribution since it's been on the air. I guess the plan was to buy an existing network and use that to boost distribution. Supposedly, it will become an Al-Jazeera America service which will be more US focused with Al-Jazeera English remaining focused on international news. Other than expanding their US news operation, no indication of what changes will actually occur when they take over the network. As with most of these deals, it will be a few months until they actually take over the network, so until then at least the current programming should stay on.

Boehner, bruised after weeks with his fractious caucus and negotiations with the White House on the fiscal cliff, won a second, two-year term as leader with 220 votes. Despite grumbling in the GOP ranks, just 10 Republicans voted for someone other than Boehner.
Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi got 192 votes.

He tells me the last file they received was 12/31/12.....listed at the bottom of his mailbox.

The 112th Congress gaveled to a close on Thursday afternoon without passing a relief package for victims of Hurricane Sandy or reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, but Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) isn’t too concerned about finishing what Republicans had left undone. Instead, at 12:00 PM she introduced the very first piece of legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which states are now busily implementing.

Michele Bachmann (R-MN) isn’t too concerned about finishing what Republicans had left undone. Instead, at 12:00 PM she introduced the very first piece of legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which states are now busily implementing.
It is time for me to start tweeting her from my Lord Yaweh twitter account again.

Well, that figures. I heard that Bachman came in last minute to prevent a run off vote. Another women came in with a bloody nose. These people are really just insane.

Here's a little January 3 fun fact: 1962 – Pope John XXIII excommunicates Fidel Castro. I'm sure Castro was totally crushed.

Did I mention that TIny believe that Sir Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lector was inspiring and tasteful?

I evidently suck. Came home and crashed - just getting back out of bed again. Cancer Sucks, or maybe it's the chemo. Never did get to the flight sim, although the flagship needs some panel work and I might go on anyway.
