Oil spill disappearing in the Gulf: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/28/us/28spill.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss

The immense patches of surface oil that covered thousands of square miles of the gulf after the April 20 oil rig explosion are largely gone, though sightings of tar balls and emulsified oil continue here and there.

Reporters flying over the area Sunday spotted only a few patches of sheen and an occasional streak of thicker oil, and radar images taken since then suggest that these few remaining patches are quickly breaking down in the warm surface waters of the gulf.

Judge blocks Key part of law in AZ:

Maxine Waters-“Here you had a woman who basically had a great history of evidently had done her job and had done it well, she said. “And all of a sudden because of a lack of courage by people in leadership they responded to a video that was done by the enemy”
“The enemy,” according to Waters, is the conservative media. “The same people enemy that just killed off ACORN and other things,” she said. “The right-wing press is using that platform to literally do their organizing, to intimidate you and basically run this country.”

Gov. Chris Christie: Once again saying it like it needs to be said. These teachers are out of control.

Face Punch Wednesday

Chris Matthews-Paul Ryan was on Hardball this week being grilled by Chris Matthews on what Republicans would do to help the economy. First, Chris said that Paul Ryans suggestion to cut $4.8 trillion out of the budget was only going to amount to one-three hundredth of the deficit......uh, does Chris own a calculator? Then when Ryan was able to give specifics and actually name things he would cut from the budget, Chris says this: "OK. Congressman Crowley, I still don`t see any cuts in entitlements there. But go ahead." He didn't ask for cuts in entitlements, he asked for deficit reduction. For not being smart enough to fool a paper-bag into carrying a sandwich 6 punches.

Al Franken-Al is afraid of Darrell Issa. "Darrell Issa is planning to double his staff," Franken said, "and embark on a witch hunt in hopes of bringing down the Obama administration." Apparently Franken is not aware that A) when the minority in power becomes the majority, they always double their staff while the losers half theirs and B) Issa is the ranking Republican on the House Committee on OVERSIGHT and Government Reform......which would indicate it is his JOB to have oversight over what the government is doing. Al Franken couldn't possibly be a bigger douche bag. This is what you get when felons are allowed to pick who will be in the Senate. For not understanding the difference between a witch hunt and someones JOB 8 punches.

Susan Jacoby-Susan Jacoby, writer for the Washington Post, took on the intelligence of the American people this weekend. More specifically she took on the intelligence of people who believe in the sanctity of life and their desire to protect it, claiming "That this representative of pure ignorance, retrograde religion, and class envy is being taken seriously at all speaks volumes about the dumbing down of America." She attacked Sarah Palin and her daughter because they chose NOT to have abortions; apparently this offends Ms. Jacoby beyond all reason. How dare they make a choice and that that choice was to keep their babies, not kill them. I thought PRO-ABORTIONISTS believed in choice, but it seems not. It seems they only believe in abortion. It's really too bad Ms. Jacoby's mother didn't exercise her right to have an abortion-10 punches.

OH NOES!!!!! Illegal immigrants leaving Arizona in droves.....

Well that's the best news I've had all day. The illegals are leaving Arizona in droves because they are scared what will happen.

NBC Reporter Discovers New Immigration Law Causing Illegals to Leave Arizona

Finding more victims, Weir highlighted a man who “has been in Phoenix without papers for 14 years, but says now he's afraid to walk the streets. So he'll take his family and leave as soon as he can.” So the law is already working.

Weir's whimpering came two nights after Sunday's World News (NB item) where ABC anchor Dan Harris set up a story framed around the same agenda of Arizona law antagonists: “Many Hispanics, both legal and illegal, are already heading for the borders. And there's a heated debate over whether that will cost the state more than it saves.” Barbara Pinto zeroed in on a woman who “worries about the quiet exodus – immigrant families already leaving the state in droves” and how “apartment building owner Rollie Rankin is hurting already.”

Weir's take was reminiscent of a CBS Evening News story from back on May 3 (NB's recitation), when Katie Couric noted that “hundreds of thousands” of illegal aliens live in Arizona, “but as Kelly Cobiella reports, many no longer feel welcome.” As if that were a bad thing.

Meh. I'm ok with it. I see that headline and read "A bunch of lawbreakers are going somewhere else to break the law."

Also, if the truly legal are leaving, well they are clearly uniformed. They don't need to worry or leave. They have been lied to and scared by the media propagating untruths about what exactly will happen when the law is enacted. If they don't want to find out for themselves, then I don't have a ton of sympathy for them.

Mexican Authorities now patroling on Staten Island?

Apparently, crimes against Hispanics are becoming a big problem on Staten Island.

Five men attacked the 40-year-old Mexican man Friday night as he was walking home after a soccer game at Faber Park, cop said. The attackers allegedly pummeled him while yelling anti-Mexican epithets. The man suffered head trauma, a fractured jaw and needed ten stitches above his eye, officials said.

The group of men made off with his backpack.

This is at least the sixth violent, ethnically-charged incident that has taken place in the neighborhood since April, and community leaders are urging residents to remain alert.

That's terrible and I hope they catch these guys, but I'm wondering: what authority do the Mexican Officials have in New York?

According to the Advance, this latest incident has promoted the Mexican Consulate to post personnel in Staten Island until further notice. This move is an effort to safeguard the rights of individuals and effectively assist and provide information to the Mexican residents of this area.

Do we get the same latitude when our citizens are attacked or kidnapped and killed while visiting Mexico? Have they been trained in American laws and our legal system? I'm not sure I like officials from other countries coming here and meddling in our legal process.

What is perhaps most disturbing is this thought that Mexican Officials need to be on Staten Island to "safeguard the rights of individuals". I'm not sure what rights they are safeguarding as opposed to those protected by our own police. Violent crimes go unsolved everyday in this country. Why are the Hispanics in New York getting their own special protection?

Visualizing ObamaCare....you might need some glasses.

Here is ObamaCare for you to feast your eyes and twist your brain.

In addition to capturing the massive expansion of government and the overwhelming complexity of new regulations and taxes, the chart portrays:

* $569 billion in higher taxes;
* $529 billion in cuts to Medicare;
* swelling of the ranks of Medicaid by 16 million;
* 17 major insurance mandates; and
* the creation of two new bureaucracies with powers to impose future rationing: the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the Independent Payments Advisory Board.

Brady admits committee analysts could not fit the entire health care bill on one chart. “This portrays only about one-third of the complexity of the final bill. It’s actually worse than this.”

Ed Schultz too stupid to think up something new to bash Fox with.

Howard Dean and Ed Schultz had a good time on Monday's edition of The Ed Show, bashing Fox News-accusing them of being racists, pushing the "false" story of the NBPP voter intimidation charges and attacking Andrew Breitbart calling him a "slant head". All of this is very interesting. While the left implodes and loses the American people at every turn, they can only rely on lies and innuendo to push a meme that has run its course.

Appearing as a guest on Monday’s The Ed Show on MSNBC, former DNC chairman Howard Dean renewed his discredited claim that FNC had played clips of former USDA official Shirley Sherrod before her forced resignation, and suggested that Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace had deceived him in denying that there was FNC coverage before her firing. Dean: "I happen to like Chris Wallace, but he was really not being exactly accurate when he talked about ‘we didn`t say one word about this before the Secretary of Agriculture fired her.’ The fact of the matter is they were pushing this story very, very hard all day. It may be true that they didn`t mention her name, but they sure did run the tape without mentioning her name."

Earlier in the show, host Ed Schultz had played the clip of Wallace correcting Dean’s assertions about FNC from the previous day’s Fox News Sunday. Wallace: "I know facts are inconvenient things, but let`s try to deal with the facts. The fact is that the Obama administration fired or forced Shirley Sherrod to quit before her name had ever been mentioned on Fox News Channel."

After Dean’s claims about FNC showing the Sherrod video, Schultz followed up by asking if Fox News is "racist in what they do," leading Dean to answer in the affirmative and to accuse Fox News of "inflaming racial hatred"

Howard Dean is an idiot who has no clue as to what the actual truth is and people like him and Schultz can't get over the fact the this ADMINISTRATION threw Shirley Sherrod under the bus. This ADMINISTRATION is who fired Sherrod, not Fox News or Andrew Breitbart. Even if this line of idiocy were true, the fact remains that from a group of folks who claim to be so smart and so much better than everyone else in this country, there couldn't be more stupidity. There was no doubt in the original clip what Shirley Sherrod was about, clearly no one in the White House bothered to watch the whole thing.

Howard then sums up his ignorance by saying Fox news was promoting racism.

"(Fox) .......pushing a theme of black racism with this phony Black Panther crap and this business, and Sotomayor and all this other stuff."

Finally they both jump the shark claiming Fox shows are "run by bullies" and that "They (Fox) play the race card every chance they possibly can." The irony here is that Fox is never the one playing the race card. Fox is defending conservatives, Republicans and the American people against the left who can't stop playing the race card at every turn.

Seriously. Get a clue.

Now they will issue a moratorium on barges.

A boat has crashed into another oil well in the Gulf, causing a new oil leak-just as they were getting the Deep Water Horizon under control.

The US Coast Guard dispatched emergency teams Tuesday after a boat crashed into an oil well off the coast of New Orleans, reportedly sending crude spewing some 20 feet into the air.

The wellhead, located about 65 miles (104 kilometers) south of New Orleans, was ruptured when it was struck by a dredge barge being pulled by a tug.

Look out folks, no doubt this administration will fire the barge captain and issue a moratorium on all barges for 6 months.

Massachusetts votes to bypass Electoral College system

Following in the footsteps of Illinois, New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland, and Washington-Massachusetts has passed legislation ensuring the winner of the popular vote will be the winner of all their Electoral College votes. To bypass the Electoral system-not to mention the Constitution-is a direct violation of the Republic and a system that has worked well for the past 234 years.

Under the law, which was enacted by the House last week, all 12 of the state's electoral votes would be awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally.

Supporters are campaigning, state by state, to get such bills enacted. Once states accounting for a majority of the electoral votes (or 270 of 538) have enacted the laws, the candidate winning the most votes nationally would be assured a majority of Electoral College votes. That would hold true no matter how the other states vote and how their electoral votes are distributed.

What the liberals in this country fail to understand is the Electoral College was meant to give all states equal weigh in deciding how our country will be run and who will run it. This is not a pure Democracy and for good reason. States like California have many more people in it and would hold more power than a state like Massachusetts if a system like this were to pass.

Here is the liberal left trying anything they can to bypass our Constitution any way they can. If they can't get the majority to agree with them, they will circumvent the proper way to do things-such as a Constitutional Amendment-and force their way through at all costs.

Apparently Chris Matthews is deaf or stupid

Chris Matthews asks Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) what he would cut from the deficit to reduce spending and Ryan answers. Chris says he doesn't hear anything about cuts. WTF? You're an idiot.

Watch for yourself.
