White House Petitioned to Investigate MPAA Bribery
Posted by admin in Government on January 23, 2012
The public has started a petition asking the White House to investigate comments made by MPAA CEO Chris Dodd a few days ago on Fox News. Closing a tumultuous week of wide protest against PIPA and SOPA – two MPAA backed anti-piracy bills – Dodd threatened to stop the cash-flow to politicians who dare to take a stand against pro-Hollywood legislation. Clear bribery, the petition claims, and already thousands agree.
25,000 signatures are required before the whitehouse will look into this matter.
You can directly sign up for the petition here: https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/investigate-chris-dodd-and-mpaa-bribery-after-he-publicly-admited-bribing-politicans-pass/

‘Occupiers’ Throw Bibles, Allegedly Urinate on Cross
Posted by admin in Liberal Nuts, Media on January 23, 2012
Members of the Occupy Wall Street movement urinated on a cross, desecrated a church and threw Bibles at police officers in separate incidents over the weekend.
Protesters in San Francisco occupied an abandoned hotel and began attacking police – hurling bricks and Bibles at officers.
“Once they gained access [to the hotel], some of them made it to the top of the roof and they began to throw Bibles down at the officers,” San Francisco Police Dept. spokesman Carlos Manfredi told ABC News.
Several officers were injured in the attack.
In New York City, Occupy protesters allegedly urinated on a cross inside a Brooklyn church.
“An occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross,” wrote Rabbi Chaim Gruber in a note to the New York Post.
The Occupy Wall Street movement has a history of participants urinating and defecating in public.
The group has also been accused of desecrating West Park Presbyterian Church. The pastor ordered 60 protesters to leave the sanctuary after someone stole a bronze lid from the $12,500 baptismal font.
“It was like pissing on the 99 percent,” an angry Rev. Bob Brashear told the New York Post.
The pastor supports the Occupy movement – but is outraged over their behavior.
“Even in the 1980s when we had a lot of crack addicts etc. in the neighborhood, and even robbing people in the church, that particular religious symbol had never really been disturbed before,” the pastor told CBS News. “I tried to make it clear that I don’t believe in collective punishment but I do believe in collective accountability and responsibility.”
2003 Chevy Tahoe keyless remote programming
Posted by admin in Information on January 16, 2012
If the remotes are identical (I think they are) here are the 03 Tahoe instructions:
All transmitters which are to be recognized by the PDM must be programmed in a single programming sequence. When using this program method, all previously programmed transmitters will be erased upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter.
The order in which the transmitters are programmed will determine its numbering position within the PDM memory. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. The number stamped on the transmitter case is for reference only: #2 can be programmed as #1, or vice versa. Additional unnumbered transmitters are also available.
1. Close all the vehicle doors.
2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Press and hold the door unlock switch.
4. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
5. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.
6. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of that transmitter.
7. Repeat the previous step to program up to four transmitters.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.
9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
Obama Appoints La Raza, an anti-american Radical to Control Domestic Policy
Posted by admin in Government, Liberal Nuts, Media on January 10, 2012
President Obama has appointed open border/amnesty advocate Cecilia Munoz to replace Melody Barnes as the head of the Domestic Policy Council. Munoz, a strong supporter of the failed DREAM Act, is the former senior vice president for the radical open-border National Council of La Raza.
Muñoz is now serving as the White House’s director of intergovernmental affairs and is in charge of outreach to state and local governments.
“The president has asked, she has accepted,” Carney said.
Muñoz is an immigration expert who worked for the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, until she joined the administration in 2009. The group works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans and advocates legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
How radical is La Raza? Being from Arizona, I can tell you La Raza doesn’t fly the American flag at pro-amnesty rallies, they fly the Mexican flag.
‘BIG ATOMIC BOMB WILL COME OUT’: AHMADINEJAD AND CHAVEZ JOKE ABOUT NUCLEAR STRIKE AGAINST U.S.
Posted by admin in Not So Funny on January 9, 2012
(The Blaze/AP)– President Hugo Chavez defended his close ally Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday and warned of “U.S. warmongering threats” amid tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program.
The two leaders met in Caracas on the first leg of a four-nation tour that will also take Ahmadinejad to Nicaragua, Cuba and Ecuador. Their conversation reportedly often focused on anti-U.S. rhetoric, which according to the Daily Mail included Mr Chavez saying that:
“he was hiding a bomb under a grassy knoll before the steps of the presidential palace, saying: ‘That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out. The imperialist spokesmen say Ahmadinejad and I are going into the basement now to set our sights on Washington and launch cannons and missiles… It’s laughable.”
The leaders were apparently serious, however, when discussing the threat they believe the U.S. poses.
“We are very worried,” Chavez said of the pressures being put on Iran by the United States and its allies, which he accused of being a threat to peace.
“They present us as aggressors,” Chavez said as he received Ahmadinejad at the presidential palace.
“Iran hasn’t invaded anyone,” he added. “Who has dropped thousands and thousands of bombs … including atomic bombs?”
Ahmadinejad’s visit comes after the U.S. imposed tougher sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, which Washington believes Tehran is using to develop atomic weapons. Chavez and his allies back Iran in arguing the nuclear program is purely for peaceful purposes.
Both leaders joked that their relationship shouldn’t cause any concern.
‘IF FREDERICK GOT TWO BEATINGS PER DAY…’: PARENTS OUTRAGED OVER SLAVERY QUESTIONS IN 3RD GRADE MATH HOMEWORK
Posted by admin in Government, Media, Not So Funny on January 7, 2012
Parents in Georgia are outraged after their third grade children were assigned math homework containing references to slaves picking cotton and getting beaten, Atlanta’s WSB-TV reported.
Christopher Braxton told the station he couldn’t believe the word problems in his 8-year-old son’s math homework Wednesday from Beaver Ridge Elementary School in Norcross.
One question asked, “Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” Another said, “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?” A third question dealt with how many pounds of cotton Frederick had picked.
“It kind of blew me away,” Braxton said. “Do you see what I see? Do you really see what I see? He’s not answering this question.”

UAW Picks Targets for Suicide Bombing of US Economy
Posted by admin in Liberal Nuts, Media on January 3, 2012
For over a year, it’s been rumored that the United Auto Workers union (UAW) was going go after a major foreign auto manufacturer in the United States to force unionization upon them by a world-wide boycott.
A new report from Reuters, based on interviews of union and industry insiders, has indicated that the target will be not one, but two German manufacturers operating in the US, Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG.
Specifically, Reuters has learned, the union is going after U.S. plants owned by German manufacturers Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG, seen as easier nuts to crack than the Japanese and South Koreans.
It’s a battle the UAW cannot afford to lose. By failing to organize factories run by foreign automakers, the union has been a spectator to the only growth in the U.S. auto industry in the last 30 years. That failure to win new members has compounded a crunch on the UAW’s finances, forcing it to sell assets and dip into its strike fund to pay for its activities.
The UAW has seen its numbers of workers shrink over the last two decades as domestic manufacturers GM, Ford and Chrysler wrestled with high labor and benefit costs compared to foreign manufacturers operating in the US.
In fact, GM’s recent financial problems were, in part, caused by pension and health plan liabilities to UAW workers, necessitating a federal government bailout. In the $95 billion GM bankruptcy, $50 billion of it was benefit liabilities to UAW workers.
The head of the union, Bob King, has admitted that declining union membership rolls means that if the UAW doesn’t “organize these transnationals [foreign auto manufacturers], I don’t think there’s a long-term future for the UAW — I really don’t.”

A Democrat “Uncommitted” in 2012 or Why I Won’t Caucus for Obama a Second Time
Posted by admin in Government on January 3, 2012
Right now all eyes are once again on Iowa. While the 2012 Republican candidates are scrambling to make last minute efforts to get ahead in the polls, another movement is in full swing to make sure that the winner of the 2008 caucus and Presidential election – one Barack Obama – has to answer once again to his formerly impassioned supporters.
Four years ago I not only caucused for Obama, but actively recruited family farmers to vote for him during the caucus and general election as well as organizing a conference call at the Obama campaign’s request four days before the first in the nation caucus to try to persuade Iowa farmers and environmentalists to support the junior Illinois Senator. After that, I ran a volunteer get out the vote office during the general election in Clear Lake, Iowa, making hundreds of phone calls and knocking on doors in the summer and fall months. Like millions of enthusiastic activists, I was active and fully supported Barack Obama’s campaign. Sadly, quite a bit of polish has worn off many of his previous campaign promises.
The question now for Iowa Democrats is, will they blindly stand by their man or will they express their dissatisfaction with Obama’s complete failure to follow through on what he promised us during his first tour through the Iowa countryside?
For the past several weeks, Iowa Occupiers have stepped up protests and occupations in front of candidate’s offices, including all Republican candidates, President Obama’s and occupying the Democratic campaign headquarters, but only after Obama’s campaign staff locked and fled their offices. In the face of an adversary, it seems Obama’s team only knows one move – retreat.

Iowa caucus: candidates make rounds while Romney goes after Obama
Posted by admin in Government on January 3, 2012
Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney was seeking to portraying himself as the party’s nominee in waiting on Tuesday as more than 100,000 Iowans prepared to go the polls to cast the first votes on the long road to the White House election.
Romney, in an early morning speech to campaign staff in Des Moines, spoke as if his opponent is already Barack Obama, describing him as “a failed president”, and did not once mention his Republican rivals.
Elsewhere, the other candidates continued to spar, hold last-minute campaign events and tout the latest endorsements. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has seen a collapse in his poll numbers, abandoned all pretence at fighting a positive campaign.
Asked on CBS whether Romney, who directed millions of dollars worth of negative ads at Gingrich, was a liar over the allegations he had directed at him over his links with the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and on other issues, Gingrich replied without equivocation: “Yes.”

Herman Cain promises the announcement of a new “national movement”
Posted by admin in Information, Media on January 3, 2012
Oh, how I love PR ploys like this one! In a sign that he has been auditioning to be the next Sarah Palin after all, Herman Cain last night and this morning made the cable news show rounds. At every appearance, he declined to endorse any of the remaining GOP candidates for president — but he repeatedly hinted at an upcoming big reveal of a “national movement.” (How nice to single-handedly start a “national movement”!) If you remember, he actually started the hype for this at his campaign “suspension” announcement. (You remember that rock rally of an announcement, don’t you?)
Now, though, we know a bit more about his plans. We know, for example, that Gloria Cain “is very supportive of this national movement.” We know he wants the movement to be a home for his former supporters and the “politically homeless.” We know he plans to officially announce the movement to Sean Hannity on Fox News tomorrow night.
But in case all of that doesn’t provide enough intrigue to keep viewers interested, Cain still claims he will endorse a candidate eventually — and in an “unconventional” manner in keeping with his “unconventional candidate” theme, to boot. Cain told Fox News’ Jenna Lee this morning that he is not endorsing a candidate right now because he doesn’t want to split his supporters at this time. Instead, he wants to continue to inspire his followers to be involved and to ensure they show up at the polls to vote for the GOP nominee and against Barack Obama. In other words, he’s still committed to the mission, which is to oust Obama; he just doesn’t want to waste a potential publicity boost later by endorsing now.
Then again, perhaps all of that is too harsh. Any time I write about Cain, I’m still uncomfortably aware that his version of it all could be the truth; he could have been the victim of MSM character assassination. I don’t think that, but I don’t know. Either way, with the suspension of his campaign, the clamor about the Herman Cain scandals receded — and, in every interview he delivered yesterday and today, Cain was upbeat about his family and concentrated on the specific message of beating Obama. He and his wife welcomed Grandchild No. 4 on New Year’s Day, and, in the end, some things — like that new little life! — are far more important than politics (although, paradoxically, that new little life is also why politics matters so profoundly).
