See No Evil

***Once, again, in the fair city of Springfield, a man is shot to death, another shot but lives and NOBODY SAW NOTHING!  From today's SJR:  Dowis said a description provided to police of the two was sketchy, making efforts to track them down more difficult.  And, this:  Several people living on Brandon Drive told a reporter Sunday they could provide no information about the incident. One said she’d been told by police not to say anything until she talked to them first.

Sad.

***The SJR doesn't want politicians or voters to focus on earmarks.  Afterall, says the paper of record in Springfield, pork projects for one community is a solid public works project for another.  Besides, the SJR says: It’s time to give this issue a rest and focus on fixing the banking system, health-care reform, energy independence and other critical issues. Debating earmarks is as much of a waste of time as proponents claim the actual earmarks are a waste of money. Eliminating them does little to balance the budget or reduce our national debt.

Seeing that the nat'l and local media is far enough left that no spending program is enough - especially when it comes to universal health care and global warming - and, according to the SJR, tax increases are OK, if this is the last one for awhile, it makes perfect sense for the lib media to wag their finger at taxpayers who are fed up with pork projects.

Really, the Dick Durbin $8B money grab for Amtrak that won't do a thing to improve service, that seems necessary.  What about studying hog odor in Iowa-another great project.  The SJR actually admits that The Obama blew it on earmarks but accepts the admin's excuse that NOW they will do things differently.  Of course, this is after The Obama allowed Congress to lard the thing up with another $80 BILLION in pork.

Pay no attention, you silly peons...

***Senator Show Me the Money turns up on a Blago fundraising list.  His quota: $10,000.  Yeah, I think it is time we let this thing drop with Burris.  Afterall, nobody has shown that he's done anything wrong, right?

***Where is the Big Media outrage?  When Sen. John McCain said that the fundamentals of the US economy where essentially stable, he was derided as out of touch; as having no economic judgment; as being an old coot who couldn't serve in the White House.  Yesterday, in interview after interview, The Obama Team rolled out their new media assault and it sounded familiar: 

During the fall campaign, Obama relentlessly criticized his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, for declaring, “The fundamentals of our economy are strong.” Obama’s team painted the veteran senator as out of touch and failing to grasp the challenges facing the country.

But on Sunday, that optimistic message came from economic adviser Christina Romer. When asked during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if the fundamentals of the economy were sound, she replied: “Of course they are sound.”

“The fundamentals are sound in the sense that the American workers are sound, we have a good capital stock, we have good technology,” she said. “We know that — that temporarily we’re in a mess, right? We’ve seen huge job loss, we’ve seen very large falls in GDP. So certainly in the short run we’re in a — in a bad situation.”
