My Congressman, Paul Broun, Jr, in a floor speech of the House, references "the great war of Yankee agression" while making an attempt to call "free Obamacare cards" worthless.
Rep. Broun invokes The Civil War
Paul Broun once again proves that his purpose is not for helping out residents of GA-10, but rather serving as arch-demagogue of the right-wing in the House. Let us not forget where he says the public option will cause a lot of people to die, calls Obama a Marxist and compares Obama to Hitler, and tells someone with depression that he can go to the ER for treatment. The hits just keep on coming for you Broun, eh?
(I do have a question for question, like the people at Media Matters: where's my card?)

The Count! Now with heat!
Our heat has finally been turned on! So much for trying to make it through the winter w/o having to get it turned on.
Anyway, Stephen Colbert's Christmas Special was awesome. Toby Keith's song, I must sadly admit, was pretty loltastic... and Willie. Well, Willie was Willie, and Willie is as Willie does, that's what my mama always said. John Legend's nutmeg song was also chuckletastic on lollerskates.
Anyway (2), Geithner for SecTreas is interesting; that the choice "inspires" the market is a little off-putting, though. I mean seriously, I could bottle farts and sell them for ripe profit in order to inspire the market. I want the man to inspire us to change, to get us off the free-market-free-for-all that got us here.
Doesn't seem like that will happen, judging investor response.

LaFountain for Congress 2010.
Not really. :-/

Okay - the fix-up
I think Ohio Senator George Voinovich (R) is on the right track with pursuing an auto bailout deal, if only for the people of Ohio...
Why?
Ohio Jobless Rate hits 7.3% in October, which is a climb from 5.7% in October 2007.
So here are the meat and potatoes:
It's a start. And it's not carte blanche. Union reform needs to be added.

So here are the meat and potatoes:
A potential compromise emerged this week, with Republican Sens. George Voinovich of Ohio and Kit Bond of Missouri working with Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan. They proposed allowing automakers to borrow $25 billion for short-term needs from the retooling fund, but they would require repayment fairly quickly. And automakers would have to prove to the Commerce Department that they had viable plans.
Then, with proceeds from the companies' repayment, along with possible gains from automakers' stock the government owned, the fund could be replenished -- and its original intent of pushing the industry toward greater fuel-efficiency could be honored.
It's a start. And it's not carte blanche. Union reform needs to be added.

The *BRR* Count!
It's crazy weather today... cold this AM and now looking at a shade temp of 66 degrees. Nuts.
I know some people down here are looking left and right for the final horseman of the apocalypse following the election of Barack Obama, so when the Dow inches below 8000 and then plows further down the day after, my ears go up.
That said, still no signs of a Barackalypse. Do you hear that, Congressman Broun?
NONE.
It has been
Phtooey.

Big problems in little Athens
I've been keeping my eyes peeled on the Banner-Herald's count of crime incidence in Athens, thanks to their nifty crime tracker on OnlineAthens.com. Maybe I'm paranoid because of the particular part of town we live in or maybe it's something where I hear bad news and thus feel bad news. In any case, the feeling isn't good.
Oh, and the crime map? I Can Haz Bite Out of Crymez?
