According to the Politico, Speaker Pelosi's emissary to liberal Democrats in the House, Rep. George Miller (D-CA), met with progressives who were in near-revolt over the Blue Dog deal late Wednesday. Rep. Miller reportedly downplayed the importance of the deal, noting that it is only one of three bills passed by the House and the only one lacking the public option that is make or break for the leftwing. House liberals reportedly left the meeting "somewhat reassured."
Teens working for Oakland Green Civic Program at Laney College under Obama's stimulus program haven't got paid yet and it's been, what?, six weeks. Everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else including the woman who heads it up, former Oakland Mayor Elihu Harris's wife, Shela Wells. This isn't the first time the Harris' team have been connected to the Peralta Foundation and Laney College. CBS5

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack pushed back Monday against reports his agency spent $1.2 million in economic stimulus funds on a two-pound ham.
Vilsack said that 760,ooo pounds of ham were bought with the money. The above article also stated the Repub's sent out blast emails and screenshots of Drudge's link to Recovery.gov as if it couldn't be found on the government website and needed a screenshot. Well that can't be, because I found the exact link to Recovery.gov and posted it yestarday. Oops! upon further investigation, a screencap may NOW be secessarry as the government seems to be covering their tracks on this one. The two web pages I sited are mysteriously missing the detail that they held yestarday. Only a PIID near the bottom of the pages with the cursor hovering over it, will reveal the ham AND quantity. TWO POUNDS! NOT 760,000 lbs like they claim. Who you going to believe, their mouth? or their "paper" trail?
"Global warming is bad, but cap and trade will not affect it very much because China and India will continue to pollute. Big corporations like Goldman Sachs and big guys like Al Gore could make many, many millions of dollars off cap and trade, while the regular folks will pay more for just about everything. That definitely sounds like change--change Mr. Gore and Goldman Sachs can believe in."

What do homosexual rights have to do with Pentagon spending? Everything, if you're a Democrat trying to hide an unpopular "pedophile protection" bill from the American people. On Monday, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate and argued essentially that since he couldn't get 60 honest votes to pass the "Punish Pastors, Protect Pedophiles" hate crimes S. 909 as a stand-alone bill, it should instead be attached as an amendment to S. 1390, the National Defense Authorization Act. Staffers for Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) then admitted the homosexual bill could be attached and voted on as early as Wednesday or Thursday.
House Democrats on Tuesday rolled out a far-reaching $1.5 trillion plan that for the first time would make health care a right and a responsibility for all Americans, with medical providers, employers and the wealthiest picking up most of the tab.

FAIR: Obama Betrays Security for Illegal Amnesty
Sooner or later, liberals will learn to not provoke Liz Cheney on issues of national security.
Those who watch the news for information other than the tragic death (and subsequent funeral circus) of Michael Jackson have most likely heard of the most recent round of accusations made by congressional liberals against the Central Intelligence Agency. On the July 14 “Morning Joe,” the former vice president's daughter issued a thrashing of Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, who (one would guess) did not adequately prepare to argue about the laws concerning when the CIA is required to brief Congress.
Robinson first submits the following:
EUGENE ROBINSON, Washington Post columnist: Hi, Liz, how are you? I have a question. I actually have a question for Liz in a minute, but you know, look, it's inconvenient that there is a law, there is a 1947 law that requires that Congress be briefed on significant intelligence operations or activities or anticipated significant intelligent activity, so it seems to be clear that they should have been briefed. And if the Vice President told the CIA not to brief Congress then that was wrong.
That certainly sounds correct, at least on the surface – if that’s the law, that’s the law.
Except, that’s not the law: (more)
