Senator Amy Klobuchar, DEMOCRAT, Minnesota. Words just cannot describe how much of a dunce this woman is.
She’s not quite as stupid as Peggy West, but in this case she made a mockery of the US Senate wasting valuable time to ask legitimate germane questions to a prospective Supreme Court Justice. Kagen, at least, saw the wisdom of avoiding this one.
Liberals are like children, and this is what happens when you give them power…
How crucial is the “Twilight” phenomenon to the cultural fabric of America? Enough that one’s opinion on it is apparently worth knowing before determining whether she should sit on the highest court in the land.
During her Supreme Court confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Solicitor General Elena Kagan was jokingly asked by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, for her thoughts on a particularly pressing issue.
Noting the “incredibly grueling day” Ms. Kagan had on Tuesday, Ms. Klobuchar remarked, “I guess it means you missed the midnight debut of the third ‘Twilight’ movie last night.” After some laughter, she added: “We did not miss it in our household, and it culminated in three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at 3 a.m.”
Ms. Kagan said she was not able to see “Eclipse,” but Ms. Klobuchar nonetheless continued, “I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward versus Jacob or the vampire versus the werewolf.”
“I wish you wouldn’t,” Ms. Kagan said.
“I know you can’t comment on future cases,” Ms. Klobuchar said. “So I’ll leave that alone.”
Tune in tomorrow when Ms. Kagan is asked whether Dick York or Dick Sargent was the better Darrin on “Bewitched.”
When your friends can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick their reasons from this “Top 10″.
10. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon
of gas at 15% or more isn’t.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
8. I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
7. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from
murderers and thieves.
6. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away
in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.
5. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies through abortion so long as we keep all death row
inmates alive.
4. I voted democratic because I think illegal aliens have a free right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.
3. I voted democratic because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give
the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never
get their agendas past the voters.
1. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.
Well look who’s got a huge (no bid?) contract in Iraq…
KBR wins contract for work in Iraq

KBR has received its first contract for logistics services in Iraq under a new competitive bidding structure that ended its sole-source work, the Army said Tuesday.
Houston-based KBR won a one-year $571 million contract with four option years that, if exercised, could be as high as $2.8 billion, Army spokesman Dan Carlson said.
The contract calls for KBR to provide services including transportation and postal operations, he said in a statement.
KBR (Kellogg Brown & Root) is the former subsidiary of that eeeevil Halliburton, and is the company that was awarded those huge contracts during start of the 2003 Iraq offensives. They’ve been around for some time, though. They also received contracts during WWII, Vietnam, post-Desert Storm, and I remember them being there with me in Kosovo too… but it was only under President Bush’s terms, there was outcry.
They’re the only company with the experience and man-power big enough to pull off the logistics that are requested by Uncle Sam, but when a Republican is in office, the libs cry-fowl – “Cheney!” “No bid contract!” “Evil big corporation!”
Will there by outcry this time? Probably not. There wasn’t any under Johnson, or Clinton.. and what Party is Obama with? oh yes, that’s right…
How much does it cost us to fly Pelosi home on her Air Force party jet? $28,201 each way. In the last two years, she’s billed taxpayers over $2.1 million in travel expenses for her and her family, and over $100k was for inflight food and alcohol. No wonder she’s a fan of public transportation.
Anyone else find the irony in Senator Whitehouse’s name, funny?
You know it’s funny, when a Republican is in office, dissent is patriotic. When a Democrat is in office, it’s racist to oppose them. Hypocrisy, thy middle name is Liberalism!
Random observation/thought: here’s a great example of free enterprise vs government run: I just heard that schools will be closing tomorrow, even though they’ve had all day today without snowfall to get plowing done. The Eagles game played on this afternoon, and the airport (hit with 2 feet of snow) had planes running today.
Government doesn’t need to make a profit, there is no direct goal for it to strive. On the other hand, no money is made with a closed football field, or planes just on the ground; capitalism won that round.
Keep that in mind, as Democrats continue to try and get government run health-care through the system. If there is no competition, no motivation to stand out, to achieve success. Do you think it’s going to be cheaper for you? Do you think it’s going to be more efficient? Will we see the same level of scientific innovation? Will it be a better experience overall? The answer, is no…
