Lieberman — Al Gore’s vice presidential running mate in 2000 and a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 — will co-chair AEI’s American Internationalism Project, an effort to rebuild a bipartisan consensus about big foreign policy questions.” Politico
Mr. DeMille, I’m Ready for My Close-Up, from Sunset Blvd.
David Atkins over at Hullabaloo, thinks this is Lieberman’s natural resting place. Personally I thought he would get some job in Israel, like being their Ambassador to the US or the senator from the great state of Israel. Maybe he tried for Pope and was rejected, “But Jesus was Jewish!” But one thing is clear, he no longer has to answer to the people who voted for him (did he ever?). Whose bidding does he do now? How much are they paying him, and why? Of course his known policies will be in line with the desires of the people paying him. My question is, “Shouldn’t we be able to know who those people are?”
Now the media doesn’t care so I guess we shouldn’t care, after all, he’s a private citizen and not working for . . . → Read More: Lieberman Joins Conservative Belief Tank, AEI. Who’s Paying His Salary? UPDATED

Fired ACORN Worker Wins $100,000 Settlement From Republican Con-Artist James O’Keefe
Former San Diego ACORN worker, Juan Carlos Vera will receive $100,000 in a settlement from federal criminal and professional liar James O’Keefe, after being secretly video-taped in violation of California law by the Rightwing propagandist. The tape was just one in a series of similar videos, all deceptively edited as part of his 2009 ACORN “pimp” hoax series.
The story of the settlement was originally broken by Wonkette, which published the 3-page settlement document [PDF], yesterday.

I was listening to the Emmy award winning comedian David Feldman’s show yesterday talking about the great new film “Janeane From Des Moines” and Feldman kept asking questions about the Presidential candidates that the film maker met and filmed during the Iowa caucus. He wanted to know, “How can they sleep at night?” specifically he wanted to know how they reconcile in their minds their actions and policies they promoted and their proclaimed Christian beliefs. Jane Wilson, the film maker, had a very insightful response.

Permalink By spocko, on February 17th, 2013% If you ask them do they have it written? Will they give you the document with the policy in writing? Do they have reasons? Do other companies like insurance companies or landlords have tell them to be gin free?
If they have reasons could someone change their minds? What would it take? Fear? Employee pressure?
How has the NRA’s push to have more guns everywhere impacted your company’s policies?
If you want to support your company’s policies could you?
It’s hard to support what we think is common sense, but you might have to. If you don’t, people who think guns a ARE the common sense solution will.
By spocko, on February 7th, 2013% I’ve been listening to the fringes of talk radio for years. The people running the media companies that distribute these shows usually don’t listen. If they did they would be appalled. The hosts often say things that would never be allowed if that host worked in that company’s office.
What would get someone fired for sexual harassment or bigotry is classified, “entertainment” since supposedly off the air the hosts follow the corporate HR guidelines and their words or actions are different.
While listening to Armed American Radio, carried nationwide by Salem Communications Corporation, (NASDAQ: SALM) I heard the two hosts talk about ignoring signs about no guns in the studio. I got confirmation they did bring their guns into the studio and it sounded like they violated the corporation policy when doing so. Salem is the top Christian broadcast radio company in the nation and the third ranked radio company overall, but no one from headquarters wanted to talk to me about the policies or consequences for violation so I wrote them one of my patented Spocko letters to ask about the apparent disconnect between their corporate stance on firearms and what their hosts are saying and doing on . . . → Read More: Radio Hosts Bring Guns into Studios, Violating Firearm Policies.

That is a time for all the friends and family to say good things about them.

>Well I care. Now if they had said, ‘It’s Spocko, do you care?” I’m sure they would get a better response.

I like Canada and most Canadians. In fact I think Canada is so great they should be in our national anthem.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
one nation under Canada
with liberty and justice for all.
h/t Robin Williams for the pledge
