Sound Bites: Democrats in Turmoil
We continue to listen to disgruntled Democrats and others in the administration try to 'splain themselves. Back now to Ichabod Crane, this is Austan Goolsbee this morning on Fox News Channel, American Newsroom, talking to Bill Hemmer, and Hemmer said, "Do you agree with Larry Summers that we would be headed for a double-dip recession if these tax cuts were not extended?"

Meacham: George H.W. Bush Gets Credit for the '90s Economy
Jon Meacham, the guy who left Newsweek and he's now an op-ed contributor of the New York Times. Who woulda thought that possible? Anyway, he's got a piece here: "No Deficit of Courage." Now, this piece is amazing. This is very interesting. Stick with me on this. "IS it, in fact, 1994-95 all over again? The atmospherics are certainly familiar. We have a Democratic president who appears to be tacking to the center to work with Republicans after being battered in the midterms. Jilted liberals, meanwhile, are left wondering how they could have been so blind about the man they had fallen for so hard. The Clinton comparison has been much in the air after President Obama’s deal to extend the George W. Bush-era tax cuts. But a more apt analogy for the present lies in 1990, not in 1994, and with George Herbert Walker Bush, not with William Jefferson Clinton.

Just One Puff Can Kill You?
This is from the AP: "Think the occasional cigarette won't hurt? Even a bit of social smoking -- or inhaling someone else's secondhand smoke -- could be enough to block your arteries and trigger a heart attack, says the newest surgeon general's report on the killer the nation just can't kick." May I ask again: Why is tobacco legal? This story says one cigarette can kill you. Honest! It's right here. Surgeon General: One cigarette can kill you. These are the same people that control our health care, they want to determine which procedures we can and can't receive. "Lung cancer is what people usually fear from smoking, and yes, that can take years to strike.

Meet the people who will save America
They aren't going to do it alone- but they are leaving a blueprint for the rest of us to follow. Before heading to Wilmington for "America's First Christmas", get to know the people of the town and see the power of faith and fellowship at Wilmington's Sugartree Ministry as one man describes his transformation from alcoholic and addict to loving father and man of God.

Nancy Pelosi - Dream Act
Ah, another wonderfully titled progressive piece of legislation that sounds so fluffy, why even bother looking into it? It's about dreams! Who doesn't like dreams? Of course, the bill is actually a giant crap sandwich that will only saddle America with even more problems.

Montana Honor Student Faces Expulsion for Leaving Hunting Rifle in Car While at School
On the morning of Dec.1, Demari DeReu drove to Columbia Falls High School in Montana and parked her blue-green Honda Accord in the lot, just as she does every morning. The 16-year-old honor roll student, class treasurer and varsity cheerleader walked in to school, forgetting entirely about the unloaded hunting rifle locked in the trunk of her car.
Later that day, there was an announcement telling students contraband sniffing dogs were scouting the parking lot, sparking her memory. She immediately told administrators that she’d forgotten to remove her scoped hunting rifle from the trunk following a Thanksgiving family hunting excursion.

Stuxnet Worm Still Out of Control at Iran's Nuclear Sites, Experts Say
Iran's nuclear program is still in chaos despite its leaders' adamant claim that they have contained the computer worm that attacked their facilities, cybersecurity experts in the United States and Europe say.
The American and European experts say their security websites, which deal with the computer worm known as Stuxnet, continue to be swamped with traffic from Tehran and other places in the Islamic Republic, an indication that the worm continues to infect the computers at Iran's two nuclear sites.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Call Our Troops Homophobes
The Pentagon's poll on "don't ask, don't tell" is beyond idiotic. Instead of asking whether the troops support repeal of DADT, the Pentagon asked only if they can learn to play nice with the gays.
Even more absurdly, the Pentagon polled all military "personnel" -- and their spouses! Only a small portion of what is known as "the military" actually does the fighting. The rest is a vast bureaucracy along the lines of the DMV

House Democrats defy Obama on tax cut bill
Defying President Obama, House Democrats voted Thursday not to bring up the tax package that he negotiated with Republicans in its current form.
"This message today is very simple: That in the form that it was negotiated, it is not acceptable to the House Democratic caucus. It's as simple as that," said Democratic Congressman Chris Van Hollen.
"We will continue to try and work with the White House and our Republican colleagues to try and make sure we do something right for the economy and right for jobs, and a balanced package as we go forward," he said.
The vote comes a day after Vice President Biden made clear to House Democrats behind closed doors that the deal would unravel if any changes were made.
The vote also come less than an hour after Obama himself urged Congress to pass the compromise he struck with GOP leaders earlier this week and warned that failing to do it could cost jobs.
