Obama border initiative good step, but insufficient

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Obama administration's initiative to deploy additional federal resources in the fight against rising drug-related violence along the Mexican border was criticized as insufficient in a Senate committee hearing Wednesday.

This is only half of Obama's plan.

The Obama Depression will cut demand for additional border security.

The Obama Depression continues.

Stock market tumbles hundreds of points.

Greece in economic collapse.

Double digit unemployment.

“We can see that the difficult and at times unpopular steps we've taken over the last year are making a difference,” said Obama, who spoke from the Rose Garden and was flanked by members of his economic team.

The unemployment rate rose from 9.7 to 9.9 percent.

Shut up and play.

The NBA is supporting more criminal activity.

Suns to wear 'Los Suns' uniforms to honor Phoenix's Latino community

NBA Players Association executive director Billy Hunter issued a press release, denouncing the law.

We applaud the actions of Phoenix Suns players and management and join them in taking a stand against the misguided efforts of Arizona lawmakers. We are consulting with our members and our player leadership to determine the most effective way for our union to continue to voice our opposition to this legislation.

What part of "illegal" don't they understand?

Just shut up and play.

Supporting illegal activity is worse than simple partisan politics.
As Michael Jordan put it, "Republicans buy shoes too."

And they're off!!!!!

I'm about to go to the track and place wagers on the ponies.

The women all have their hats.

Dad is preparing his special syrup for mint juleps.

I'll make a big batch of Bacon Wrapped Pepper-Jack Shrimp.

Sis will make hot sauce for the wings...

It's a tradition.

Funnier if it we're so true.

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00. When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies: "Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."

Protest in St. Paul

There might be a protest at the state capitol in St. Paul.

The protest is against the .08 DUI law in that it will unconstitutionally profile Americans of Irish descent.

One of the many patrons in downtown St. Paul feared being pulled over since he has not only a "Luck of the Irish" bumper sticker but also a "Notre Dame" static window decal. The patron said, "They are targeting us based on our Celtic appearance. I don't even like Irish Whiskey; and for the record, I prefer Summit EPA to Guinness!"

Jessy Ventura has not yet commented on how this issue correlates to the names of the streets in St. Paul.

Subpeona the President?

Defendant Rod Blagojevich, by and through his counsels and hereby
requests this court issue a subpoena ad testificandum for President Barack Obama.


The motion, as you can see, was heavily redacted.

Now this should not be a surprise; it's politics Chicago style!

One corrupt Chicago politician narking on another corrupt Chicago politician.

Just don't call it partisan or bi-partisan.
