| President Barack Obama said if he had a son, he would have to think "long and hard" before he let him play football and suggested he--along with other football fans--watches football against his conscience. "I´m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I´d have to think long and hard before I let him play football," Obama said. In an interview with the left-of-centerThe New Republic, Obama said football will "probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence" and that may allow fans to not have to "examine our consciences

Rush has predicted the end of football as we know it. He´s probably right. The NFL will soon be forced to take women and give them linebacker jobs.

If you had a boy in Chicago, you´d think long and hard about even letting him leave through the front door.
You know that people hit each other in football. That´s like suing someone after the fact because you got your nose broken while boxing.
Life has risks. People make choices. People still choose to smoke since the 1964 warning, and still sue the tobacco companies. It is a crazy world we live in.

Typical empty, valueless statement from Mr. Obama. If he had a son he would not let him play football. But he doesn´t have a son. And football will "probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence". But he is still a "big football fan". Got that?
No wonder he won´t release his college transcripts.

More pronouncements from the One. He wants us to know that while he watches football, he´s not like the rest of the Neanderthals that watch the Superbowl and beat their wives and girlfriends during the commercials. He won´t hire women, or pay them the same way he pays the men, but he wants you to know he´s not like the Neanderthals who have declared war on women. He eats burgers and fries, but he wants you to know he´s not like those Neanderthals who eat junk food. And on and on. Your typical metrosexual.

Cue up the trial lawyers...this is a tried and true method for poisoning the well of public sentiment against the evil NFL owners. This same tactic has been used against physicians, to promote malpractice suits, against car companies like Toyota, you name..you frighten a sector into spending money on lobbying, lawyers, and campaign contributions to stave off meddling by congress. Meanwhile, the trial lawyers attack like wolves from the sides,trying to thin the herd. Demonization is the tactic. Of course who pays for this? The ticket buyers and fans. I´m guessing Obama prefers soccer...

Liberals seek to control every little aspect of individuals´ lives-- the light bulbs we use in living room lamps, the shopping bags we use to carry groceries, the cars we drive, football, the entertainment many of us cherish, and what we say, even our very thoughts. Liberals want to silence all criticism, no matter how valid, of protected groups, particularly muslims, blacks and gays. For libs, nothing will ever be enough. They are relentless. Do as I say, not as I do. Hypocrisy.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

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

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

But in the months since, the gun rights group has made itself impossible for the Alaska Democrat, and many other lawmakers, to resist. Begich has signed on as a co-sponsor of a bill, drafted in consultation with the NRA, that would change the way mental illness is reported in the background check system — a measure that critics say

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition.
