Pelosi defends altered
photo of Democratic women

Washington Post, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:FlyRight, 1/5/2013 7:55:13 AM

The office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) digitally added several female members to a photograph intended to include all of the women in the House Democratic Caucus. While dozens of members turned out for the Thursday photo-op, some weren’t able to make it on time, ABC News reported. Rep. Debbie Wassermann Schultz (D-Fla.), the chair of the Democratic National Committee, was among the members who were added to the photo.

Just the usual from Nancy, she makes up her own reality world. Evidently she has staff that are experienced at creating phony photos.

Sorry, I forgot..Nancy was also the one who provided her signature on an altered document certifying that Obama was eligible to be the democrat candidate for President.
Perhaps her staff also created "the" birth certificate.

Nan is following Stalin´s tradition, isn´t she.

Ol´ Uncle Joe used to have his henchmen cut out the faces of his enemies from official photographs in an effort to erase them from the memories of the people. It was crude, but old Soviet Russia didn´t have sophisticated technology. They would have loved Photoshop.

These remarks do not constitute much of a defense. They don´t seem to amount to anything besides a plea for expediency. By such a standard, virtually anything would be allowed. It is, no doubt, a small thing to alter a photograph and create a misleading, though ultimately inconsequential impression. Yet in another way, it is a big thing. It is dishonest. And it is characteristic of the fast and loose relationship many Democrats have with the literal, factual truth. Their truth is a higher truth - the Truth of ideology. We have seen how this attitude allows them to maintain the truthiness of falsehoods that could have been true, and to dismiss errors of fact as of little or no importance if they contradict the Truth of ideology.

The work was sloppy. If you are going to photoshop something, at least try to make it believable. Must be some affirmative-action people on the photoshop staff. No pride of workmanship or just not enough intelligence to do the job right. People just want to get paid.

It´s just a petty example of the way liberals are willing to make the truth to be as they think it should be…not as it is.
In this case truth is…not all the people were there.

Liberals think: "so we´ll add the ones missing. What´s the big deal?!"

The big deal is that the same philosophy is applied to Birth Certificates, Benghazi, Hillary´s ´illness,´ etc., etc.

"The truth is what I believe it to be. If I believe something is true…then for me it is true."

Odds are if, a year from now, someone asked Pelosi if all
the women attended the photo-op she would swear they were all there…and she has a picture to prove it!

There are tons of things to despise about Pelosi but this isn´t one of them. I recently wished I had the expertise in photoshopping to add a staff member to a photo for a newsletter instead of superimposing a cropped head. It´s better than a "not pictured" blurb at the bottom.

I wonder if she used the same photographer that did the situation room photo during the Bin Laden raid?

Seriously, though, this seems pretty trivial, she wanted a picture of ALL the Dem female members and a few didn´t make it... it´s not as though this was an alibi photo in a criminal case.

The Lessons of Zombie-Mania
Wall Street Journal, by DANIEL W. DREZNER    Original Article
Posted By: FlyRight- 4/6/2013 1:44:06 PM     Post Reply
By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

Global Warming: Was It Just

Like most of you, I yearn for shorter winters, more shirt-sleeve weather, less lashing from frigid winds. As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather. It’s enough to make one doubt the “settled science” of the government-funded doom-sayers.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

WASHINGTON — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world´s most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama´s State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It´s all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding,compassionate and on the ball. In this world, Obama's family is always photogenic, first dog Bo is always well-behaved and the vegetables in the South Lawn kitchen garden always seem succulent.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
