Iceberg Dead Ahead!
Douglas W. "Popeye" Frederick
by Ann Coulter
01/20/2010
Once again, the people have spoken, and this time they quoted what Dick
Cheney said to Pat Leahy.
Less than two weeks ago, The New York Times said that so much as a
"tighter-than-expected" victory for Massachusetts Democratic Senate
candidate Martha Coakley would incite "soul-searching among Democrats
nationally," which sent Times readers scurrying to their dictionaries to
look up this strange new word, "soul."
A close win for Coakley, the Times said, would constitute "the first real
barometer of whether problems facing the party" will affect the 2010
elections.
But when Coakley actually lost the election by an astounding 5 points, the
Chicago boys in the White House decided it was the chick's fault.
Democratic candidate Martha Coakley may be a moral monster, but it's
ridiculous to blame her for losing the election. She lost because of the
Democrats' obsession with forcing national health care down the nation's
throat.
Coakley campaigned exactly the way she should have.
As a Democrat running in a special election for a seat that had been held by
a Democratic icon (and another moral monster) for the past 46 years in a
state with only 12 percent registered Republicans, Coakley's objective was
to have voters reading the paper on Friday, saying: "Hey, honey, did you
know there was a special election four days ago? Yeah, apparently Coakley
won, though it was a pretty low turnout."
Ideally, no one except members of government unions and Coakley's immediate
family would have even been aware of the election.
And until Matt Drudge began covering it like a presidential election a week
ago, it might have turned out that way.
Coakley had already won two statewide elections, while her Republican
opponent, Scott Brown, had only won elections in his district. She had
endorsements from the Kennedy family and the current appointed Democratic
senator, Paul Kirk -- as well as endless glowing profiles in The Boston
Globe.
And by the way, as of Jan. 1, Brown had spent $642,000 on the race, while
Coakley had spent $2 million.
On Jan. 8, just 11 days before the election, The New York Times reported: "A
Brown win remains improbable, given that Democrats outnumber Republicans by
3 to 1 in the state and that Ms. Coakley, the state's attorney general, has
far more name recognition, money and organizational support."
It was in that article that the Times said a narrow Coakley win would be an
augury for the entire Democratic Party. But now she's being hung out to dry
so that Democrats don't have to face the possibility that Obama's left-wing
policies are to blame.
Alternatively, Democrats are trying to write off Brown's colossal victory as
the standard seesawing of public sentiment that hits both Republicans and
Democrats from time to time. As MSNBC's Chris Matthews explained, it was
just the voters saying "no" generally, but not to anything in particular.
Except when Republicans win political power, they hold onto it long enough
to govern. The Democrats keep being smacked down by the voters immediately
after being elected and revealing their heinous agenda.
As a result, for the past four decades, American politics has consisted of
Republicans controlling Washington for eight to 14 years -- either from the
White House or Capitol Hill -- thus allowing Americans to forget what it was
they didn't like about Democrats, whom they then carelessly vote back in.
The Democrats immediately remind Americans what they didn't like about
Democrats, and their power is revoked at the voters' first possible
opportunity.
Obama has cut the remembering-what-we-don't-like-about-Democrats stage of
this process down from two to four years to about 10 months. Folks, I'm
convinced that if we all work really hard, we can get it down to three
months.
Four years of Jimmy Carter gave us two titanic Reagan landslides, peace and
prosperity for eight blessed years -- and even a third term for his feckless
vice president, George H.W. Bush.
Two years of Bill Clinton gave us a historic Republican sweep of Congress,
which killed the entire Clinton agenda (with the exception of partial-birth
abortion and felony obstruction of justice) -- and also gave us two terms
for George W. Bush.
And now, merely one year of Obama and a Democratic Congress has given us the
first Republican senator from Massachusetts in 31 years.
In other recent news, last November, New Jersey voters, who haven't voted
for a Republican for president since 1988, threw out their incumbent
Democratic governor, Jon Corzine. In Virginia, which Obama carried by 6
points a year earlier, a religious-right Republican won the governor's
office by 17 points.
Sen. Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, won his last election in 2006 by 28
points -- the largest margin for a Democratic Senate candidate in that state
in a quarter-century.
Since voting for the Senate health care bill last Christmas, the
once-bulletproof Sen. Nelson not only gets booed out of Omaha pizzerias, but
he has also seen his job approval rating fall to 42 percent and his
disapproval rating soar to 48 percent. (Meanwhile, the junior senator from
Nebraska, Mike Johanns, who voted against the bill, has a job approval
rating of 63 percent.)
The Democrats have no natural majority because they have no fundamental
principles -- at least none that they are willing to state out loud. They
are like a drunken vagrant who emerges from the alley to cause havoc every
few years. They are the perpetual toothache of American politics.
To be sure, the fact that 52 percent of Massachusetts voters are racist,
sexist tea-baggers -- i.e., voted for a Republican -- means only that the
Democrats just went from having the largest congressional majority in a
generation to the second largest.
But this was "Teddy Kennedy's seat."
And it was in Massachusetts.
Now, no Democrat is safe.
But the country just got a lot safer.

Breaking: Air America Ceases Live Programming, Will File for Bankruptcy
Posted by Frank Ross Jan 21st 2010 at 1:59 pm in News, Radio | Comments
(462) From AirAmerica.com:
It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must
announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations
as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.
The very difficult economic environment has had a significant impact on Air
America's business. This past year has seen a "perfect storm" in the media
industry generally. National and local advertising revenues have fallen
drastically, causing many media companies nationwide to fold or seek
bankruptcy protection. From large to small, recent bankruptcies like Citadel
Broadcasting and closures like that of the industry's long-time trade
publication Radio and Records have signaled that these are very difficult
and rapidly changing times.
Those companies that remain are facing audience fragmentation as a result of
new media technologies, are often saddled with crushing debt, and have
generally found it difficult to obtain operating or investment capital from
traditional sources of funding. In this climate, our painstaking search for
new investors has come close several times right up into this week, but
ultimately fell short of success.
With radio industry ad revenues down for 10 consecutive quarters, and
reportedly off 21% in 2009, signs of improvement have consisted of hoping
things will be less bad. And though Internet/new media revenues are
projected to grow, our expanding online efforts face the same monetization
and profitability challenges in the short term confronting the Web
operations of most media companies
When Air America Radio launched in April, 2004 with already-known
personalities like Al Franken and then-unknown future stars like Rachel
Maddow, it was the only full-time progressive voice in the mainstream
broadcast media world. At a critical time in our nation's history - when
dissent on issues such as the Iraq war were often denounced as
"un-American" - Air America and its talented team helped millions of
Americans remember the importance of compelling discussion about the most
pivotal events and decisions of our generation.
Through some 100 radio outlets nationwide, Air America helped build a new
sense of purpose and determination among American progressives. With this
revival, the progressive movement made major gains in the 2006 mid-term
elections and, more recently, in the election of President Barack Obama and
a strongly Democratic Congress.
Laws have changed for the better thanks to this revival...but all the same
our company cannot escape the laws of economics. So we intend a rapid,
orderly closure over the next few days. All current employees will be paid
through today, January 21. A severance package will be offered tomorrow to
full-time current employees with more than six months of tenure.
We will strive to assist affiliates and partners in achieving a smooth
transition. Starting at 6 pm EST today, we will provide our affiliates,
listeners and users a selection of encore programming until 9 pm EST on
Monday, January 25, at which time Air America programming will end.
We are proud that Air America's mission lives on through the words and
actions of so many former radio hosts who are active today in progressive
causes and media nationwide. In the years ahead, as we look back, we should
all be proud of our passionate determination to assure that our nation's
progressive voice would be heard loud and clear. Through the hard work and
dedication of current staff, and those who preceded you, a lasting legacy
was forged which will now continue through other voices and venues.
Thank you.
Joe
right. I Couldn't vote for Obama because I do not believe in his
policies of which how could we know since he didn't vote much, and
didn't do much of anything.
I'm not sure that the Massachusetts vote was so much National Health
Care as it is about a message to our "leaders" that we are fed up with
the business as usual in Washington. The bribes, backroom deals, hidden
agenda, and just outright lies to the American people - I know Obama
didn't begin this - it has been going on for years.
The actions of this congress I believe has awaken the American Silent
Majority. I am hoping that future elections sees a higher turnout of
voters of all parties, and they use some type of thought process to
choose the right candidate. I think you are going to see a major
shakeup throughout the country in our leadership - again not just
democrats but republicans for sure. It is about time that our leaders
vote for what is right for their constituents - not their party. Their
aristocratic attitude towards the American people has awaken a sleepy giant.

Massachusetts was the first of "hey, maybe you guys should think about
retireing". I heard a commentary, but no less than Robert "I'm a
Socialist beause Clinton wouldn't have appointed a Communist" Reicher
where he said that there's a third party, that Mad as Hell party and
both Democrats and Republicans had better be afraid of them. Either
the incumbent will lose the primary or the general (or barely squeak
by).

I don't forsee a sea change in the party makeup of Congress, but I do
see the idealogies changing.
I also foresee a lot of one term presidnets in the futrue. Starting
with Obama.
BTW, I saw a Palin/Brown 2012 bumpersticker the other day.

You guys run Palin and there's no way Obama will be a one-termer.

I am afraid, Greg is correct. I'd do Palin, and I like her simple talk,
but I don't think she is presidential material - maybe at some point but
she isn't ready yet - we already have some one in the White House that
is way to green to lead this country

I think she's as much presidential material as Monica Lewinsky was,
that's the only way a woman like her will get into the Oval Office.
And Joe, you must be color blind. Obama isn't green, he's black.
Joe
he's not black - he's much to light-skinned to be considered black, and
he doesn't talk with a black dialect.
I think Pain has a lot more credentials to be president over Blewinsky(I
hate when people do that to people's names - but then I, Greg, is a
hypocritic!)
If the election were held today (actually Illinois's is Tuesday)I have
no idea who I will vote for. MY congressman is a good friend of mine,
he is a democrat, I call for a democratic ballot - always. I did not
vote for him(I voted early at the courthouse). He sold his vote for
OBamacare - he told us we was against it - but then the democratic
leadership gave him what he needed on the Mississippi River Leevees. I
wonder how much our leaders really gave away to have this boondoggle of
legislation any chance at all to pass.
I found this ray stevens music video quite funny

Maybe you don't consider him black, but his father was 100% African
which makes Obama a lot blacker than many black people in the U.S.
I'm not sure what a "black" dialect is. He sounds like an American to
me.

I never suggested either should be President, I merely suggested they
might be useful in some Oval Office capacity. I bet Palin can polish
a cigar as good as Lewinsky.

Joe, "I'd do Palin" just makes you sound like one of the FSLMs who like
to personally attack conservative women, especially if they're attractive.
Accepting a cheap shot, nothing less.
She's way more qualified to be president than Obama is, she's actually
run local and state government, with more success than Obama has had in his
first year.
Obama holds his line, he could be defeated by a "Snoopy" write in.

Palin is dumb as a stump. Obama is highly intelligent.
If you think being dumb qualified Bush, then Palin is really qualified
under that standard. Some of us, however, believe that there's more
to being presidential material than being dumb.
But I agree with Joe: I'd do her too.
> She'd be in a good spot for V.P. this time around.
Please do. She was great as VP last time: provided plenty of humor,
and gave us the White House even though we ran an inexperienced black
guy. Now she has her Fox News background, so she'll really be
prepared.
> Like we all predicted, Obama's rube-ishness has cost him -and- us.
He's hardly done yet. Bush already had the country in shambles by
this time in his Presidency, then left it in shambles again before
Obama could come in to save everybody. Already, the economy has
improved immensely and we're in no more danger of immediate failing
and that's only after one year. When he's done with the other seven,
this country will look like it underwent one of those "Makeover" TV
shows.

Clinton is definitely out of it. I think Reid is on his way out.
Let's see how Obama fares for the next couple years. If his ratings
go back up and he decides to run (and wins) 2012 with a different VP,
that VP would be the natural choice for 2016. Don't worry, it won't
be me. I already told Obama where he could put his VP position the
last time they called begging, which is why Biden eventually got the
nod.

A couple of years ago I saw a bumper sticker "I'd vote for Bill before

So Brown is right there with a little more experience than Obama
I think Reid is done - not because of politics - I think ever incumbent
is at risk. I hate to lose my congressman, he is a personal friend.
But everybody wants to lose the incumbents - but not theirs. I think
voting every incumbent out is a nice idea - the country would be in a
big mess - but can it be any worse - not blaming Obama - I'm blaming
every elected official in Washington

Unless Joe says he wants out in some sort of statesman like fashion,
he'll be running with Obama. Obama would be crucified in a heartbeat
for dumping him. People wouldn't vote against him, they just wouldn't
vote.

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand had
been caught in the gate whileworking his cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the oldman. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and
his being ourpresident. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just
a Post Turtle."
Now ...not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, What's a "Post
Turtle?"The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and
you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post
turtle."
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to
explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up
there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't
goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there
in the first place."
