1 This joint is looking more and more like Hugo's Venezuela (without the hot latin women).

2 Obama has saved or created 10 million conservatives since inauguration day--more growth expected real soon.

3 Yea bring on the hot latina women.

4 If they've lost CBS, then everyone can see they are full of shit.

Yesterday, a caller to the Howie Carr Show said his friend applied to and got a job with his local Post Office.

What's the job? A ONE-HOUR PER WEEK position. I shit you not. The Post Office branch hired fifty (50!) people @ 1hr/week.

Why?

To pad the newly-hired numbers and get the Stimulus $$, that's why.

6 The good news is that since the majority of the MSM is embracing this new "yardstick", any GOP President can use it in the future.

"Today, President Liz Cheney announced that she'd created or saved 2,000,000 jobs over the last two quarters".

7 So with all these jobs that have been saved how long will it be before we have that glorious new tractor factory in Ukraine, comrade?

8 He still hasn't saved or created a job for me, despite my degree from the Harvard School of Child Prostitution, but I still loooooooooooooove My President!

9 This isn't a bad administration making decisions we disagree with. It's a farce. How can anybody support these lying fools.

10
Seriously, we need a Congressional investigation to find if what that caller reported was accurate. Something like this could really hurt the Obama admin (and maybe prevent the Obama admin from hurting the taxpayers in the future with all these asinine programs).

11 Dear Gubmint,

If you give me 1 billion in stimulous money I will definitely create 200 jobs for my friends.

12
CBS must be really pissed they aren't getting that sweet, sweet Porkulus caysh like GE is getting.

13 This is exactly how the government is supposed to work in the college professor fairy-tail land.

As soon as the health care bill passes they're going to increase the Soylent Green ration too (something about an oversupply of raw materials).  What more can you ask for!?

I'll trade half my ration for 3 razor blades and a half pack of Victory cigarettes.

19 ummm. We have lost 3.5 million jobs since Obama took office.  Do we really need any more explanation?

20 Comrades, this CBS is nothing but counter-revolutionaries and racists. Comrade Chairman Obama has created and saved every job that ever was and will to come throughout the whole universe.

21 Ah, Barack, you lying c*cksucker. Keep f*cking that chicken.

22 as ace points out, the most preposterous thing about all this is that the media is aiding and abetting the administration by buying into this whole "saved or created" nonsense, i for one applaud couric and cbs for finally stepping up to the plate to refute some of these ridiculous claims from obama and company, if only they would deconstruct the "growth in gdp/recession over" meme that's being promulgated.

23 I'll trade half my ration for 3 razor blades and a half pack of Victory cigarettes.

I need to score with chicks. What's the going rate on silk stockings?

24 21 Ah, Barack, you lying c*cksucker. Keep f*cking that chicken.

Uh, can lay off on that a bit?  I'm sore.

25 Wow!  And to think that all along, I thought these "saved of created" stats were numbers they were just pulling out of their ass!

26 Well, I am sure that this is a theological conundrum for the devoted.  If Obama told a lie, did he actually say it?  Or is it a lie that the people heard it?

That is interesting, good pickup, Ace.  Now we know where the saved or created claim comes from. 

27 Does this little group of mobsters/commies in the WH ever tell the truth about anything? Not that I can see.

28 Et Tu Katie?

What a coinky-dink. International paper just shut its mill down last week in Franklin, Virginia. They were the largest employer in the region for over 65 years and the closing cost 1,200 + jobs. The trickle down effect will cost countless other jobs to be lost too.

I love this economy ! When everybody is starving we can call it Fun-ger.

30
HAHAHAAAA!  Time is gonna fire 6% of their staff!  Merry Christmas, c*cksuckers!  Couldn't happen to a shittier bunch of koolaid drinkers.

Unfortunately, the going rate is a half hour with your woman. Since you don't have one, you're kinda screwed. It's  a chicken and egg thing. Crazy, huh?

32

Albany Oregon's biggest employer just shut down their paper mill this week.....the recession is over!!!!

Thousands of citizen trees created or saved!  Praise be Obama!

33 Yes, but what about the Bush Doctrine?

34 Well, I am sure that this is a theological conundrum for the devoted. If Obama told a lie, did he actually say it? Or is it a lie that the people heard it? No no no, Comrade Chairman is incapable of flaw so fault must lie with listener. You Kulak.

35
It's  a chicken and egg thing.

Uh oh, not again...

36 Watched the vid and was surprised at the candor.  CBS prolly got an angry and hysterical call afterwards.

37 Saved or Created,  I still can only shake my head at the balls it takes to have uttered that phrase in public, or the absolute certainty that the administration must have that the media is their bitch.

Either or.

38 These are the same sort of shenanigans Obama played with his campaign donation website.  They deliberately disabled (it is turned on by default in the program) the verification check to make sure contributors were Americans, and that each person was only donating once.  That willful blindness allowed Obama to rake in millions in illegal, small dollar foreign contributions.

Here, they are deliberately avoiding the most basic scrutiny, in an effort to generate fake, but politically helpful, data.

It's the same mindset behind the democrats' opposition to voter ID laws.  They WANT to cheat - "by any means necessary"

39 Do all of my blowjobs count?

NOT!

41 I can't wait for the toilet paper and bread lines. And sorry ladies, only 2 varieties of shoes.

42 We are currently reviewing whether CBS deserves to be called a news organization. Until our review is complete, all citizens are instructed to get their news from reliable sources such as Daily Kos.

43 HAHAHAAAA!  Time is gonna fire 6% of their staff!  Merry Christmas, c*cksuckers!  Couldn't happen to a shittier bunch of koolaid drinkers.

We asked you kindly not to cancel your subscription. Meh. We'll merge with Newsweek and spiral off into oblivion.

CBS is starting to remind me of talk radio.

Hello, perpetual unemployment!!!!

Saved, created, lost, Let me be perfectly clear, passed failures of the last 8 years, jobs, wee weed, I won, lipstick on a pig, I suck cock,  just a few precious quotes from the annointed one.

57 I've saved millions of lives, yet you don't see me getting a Nobel Putz Prize.

58 I've got what you're look for.

59 For $1.

You know now I am beginning to understand a visit I got the other day.
A guy from the federal government showed up at my door and asked "Are you employed?"
I said: "Yes, thank God."
He shoved a dollar in my hand and ran.
I guess my job has been saved.

60 Every thing about our Precedent and his policies are a sham  I think I'll stop calling him "Teh Bamster" and start calling him "Teh Shamster". 

61

Wow. So The One is losing CBS, too.

Has anyone started a "Sycophants Lost" tote board?

62 57 I've saved millions of lives, yet you don't see me getting a Nobel Putz Prize.

Me too!!!

63 If they sent every person on the planet $1.00, they could "save or create" a job for everybody in the world for only $6 billion.

Problem solved.

64

I'd hold the cheers for CBS.  They had little choice in this case.  The AP is running these stories, have said they would continue to do so, and other media outlets were already picking up on it.

65 Just CYA journalism.  Throw one semi-negative story into the state propaganda stream, then when the shit hits the fan CBS says look we reported on this years ago.  /yawn

66 President "Smoke and Mirrors" Toonces is at it again.

67 using ace's $1=1 job equation, the 787B porkulus bill could theoretically "create/save" 787B jobs! he could rename it the "earth full-employment act of 2009" and we could give some of those jobs to dogs/cats/polarbears/etc to make up for the lack of "human" job-recievers.

70 @38: they are deliberately avoiding the most basic scrutiny, in an effort to generate fake, but politically helpful, data.

It's the same mindset behind the democrats' opposition to voter ID laws.  They WANT to cheat - "by any means necessary"

Nailed it.  One wonders how long before Da Won's advisers put a poll on the WhiteHouse website asking "How do you feel about the economy?", with the only  choices being the following:
        l.  It's the bestest ever, absolutely evah!
       2.  It's the best economy in the past 50 years.
       3.  It's better than any we've had under any other president.

71 Isn't democracy still held hostage? We need a daily count. Yes, and in 24 hours Obama is going to start sending us fingers unless we meet his demands.

72 63 If they sent every person on the planet $1.00, they could "save or create" a job for everybody in the world for only $6 billion.

Problem solved.

For the money they spent they could have saved or created 133 jobs per every human on the planet, or 2,666 for every American.  I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I could work 2,666 jobs.

73
It's about time for another guided video tour in search of my brain.

74 FLASH: Katie Couric to be broadcasting her show from a camp in New Mexico.

75
Somebody should shove a camera up Katie's butt to find out where her loyalty went.

76 I wonder if CBS will be the worst person in the world tonight. Ah who am I kidding who cares what that douchebag says anyway.

77 That was kinda neat and all but I'd almost be willing to bet that us guy morons would rather see a video of Megan the Fox gal or that babe that is on that red-eye show. At least I think that's the name of it. Whoa, smmmmokin.

78 I'd like to use a baseball analogy here.  When a relief pitcher comes in in the 8th or 9th inning and his team has a 10 run lead, the stats don't credit him with a "save".  There has to be a game that was losable before it counts as a save.

79

"Created 100's of errors"--errors my ass. 

"Half a million dollars to study social networking websites and 219k dollars to study the sex lives of college freshmen women."--I feel so much better now.  You know that's going to create more jobs for "researchers". 

You know, Chip Reidv has been getting increasingly testy with Gibbsy during press conferences.  (Not up to Jake Tapper standards, but still).  That one where he was asking Gibbs about high rolling donors getting access to high ranking Obama officials and using the WH bowling alley, he was visibly irritated.  It would be nice if the media would stop kissing The Shamster's ass and start doing their jobs. 

And yes, it is absolutely delicious that Time is firing 6% of their staff.  That rag couldn't be more deserving of going off the mortal coil to the propaganda factory in the sky.

81 I wish I could dig the comment when the "stimulus" was first passed in which I predicted this- that if so much as $1 dollar went to a project that employed people, they'd count them all as jobs "created or saved".

82 "I have just received a mean letter from Al Qaeda.  If we don't pass health care reform and cap and trade, they will explode a nuclear device over a large city near Lou Dobb's house."

Yeah (wiping tear from eye).  It's so sad, we thought we were a recession proof industry.

85 unused assault rifle, your a small small time punk

86  >>If a single dollar of Spendulus was spent on an employee's salary, whether that employee was a new employee or an old one, that gets counted as a job "saved or created." If he's a new employee, that job was created. If he's an existing employee, that job was saved.

So in THAT case the spendulus was a huge waste of money

The Federal gov't could have simply given every employed American one dollar, and "saved or created' a number of jobs equal to the number of working Americans. 

This program would cost only a teensy fraction of the Spendulus actually cost. 

Hell, Uncle Sam wouldn't even have to write a single check. . .just offer everyone who had $1 worth of earnings in the last year a $1 tax credit.

 

87 Ok people we have to step up our propagandizing. The news outlets are hemorrhaging cash and viewers but we still have the actors. All hands on deck. The ending of Lost will feature The Island = Obama. The Office will feature an episode where Obama personally annoints the office with a new employee. Obama will guest host Saturday Night Live and lipsync the lyrics to Miley Cyrus' 'Party in the USA' in an extended hour long musical interlude. Obama will oversee the opneing coin toss and open the game with a special rugby punt for the New Orleans Saints [see what I did there Gibbs, heh, heh] on Monday Night Football. Oh, and then we'll ban meat on Tuesday. I am a super genius.

88 Oh, come on, that video is really from the Onion News Network. That can't possibly be real.

89 I already did the study on the sex lives of college freshman for free, so there is another scam from this administration.

90 Katie is a biased whore.

91 I feel the need to bring out this most excellent snarky comment from Mallamutt from a couple weeks ago.  It should be the standard reply to anyone who goes around claiming "saved or created" jobs.  heh
----------

I believe I have saved or created at least 10 jobs this morning alone.

I got up and took a crap. Therefore, I have created 1 job in the toilet paper manufacturing sector.

I had a bagel for breakfast. Therefore, I have saved 1 agricultural job and created a job at the bagel plant. Total so far... 3 jobs.

I had some coffee. The coffee came from Columbia, so I saved a job at the dock where somebody unloaded the coffee. Also, some one trucked the coffee from the dock to the store, so there is another job. Total so far..... 5 jobs.

I read the local newspaper. I subscribed to the newspaper from some guy at the local grocery store who was giving out gift cards to the store if I subscribed. I saved his job, plus saved the delivery persons job. Total jobs....... 7

The local kid came around and I paid him $15 to rake up the leaves in the front yard. I also supplied the lawn refuse bags. That 1 job created for the kid and 1 job saved at the place that makes the lawn refuse bags. Total jobs saved......... 9

And I have posted here, dutifully clicking on the ad banners. Thus, I can claim to have saved the job of Ace, Internet Blogger. Total for the morning.......... 10.

I can hardly wait to see how many more jobs I save or create this afternoon.

CBS:  "a world class example of government obfuscation"

He lied.  They lie.  Liars all.

96 So for $300,000,000 in one-dollar checks they could have saved or created enough jobs for everyone in the US, including the disabled, unemployed, elderly, and infants (technically anyway)?

97 Why do I have a mental image of President WhinyBitch raging at CBS in his underground bunker?

98 Do what ya want with the birds, just save the carcass for me, I don't mind sloppy 4ths.

Oh Goodness, Gibbs is jumping the shark on this job saved/created meme. Now he is claiming there is even more from jobs indirectly saved/created by the stimulus.  More blabbering about "bottom down" economics.

And you know why it is called bottom down - cause in the end, that is where we all are at.

133 Question: If someone is losing their job, but they get a $50 going away gift from their work, was that job created or saved?

134

Would someone please tell Helen Thomas that she is dead. It appears her body has not got the memo yet.

And what a shitty question "the President's critic appear not to want him to succeed, what does the President say about that"

Gee, Helen, why don't you just get your aging carcass out of the seat and stroll down the hall and fluff Obama there.

 

135 The most common lie the Administration makes is reversing 'benefits' with 'cost'.

If you spend a few million improving a road those construction worker jobs are not 'benefits', they are 'costs'. If the road improvements directly improve property values in the area of the road, those are the 'benefits'. The benefits must exceed the costs to justify the project. Obviously just repaving a road to nowhere would not result in any benefits to anyone (unless you consider ass-raping productive people a benefit).

Team Obama gets this ass-backwards - They routinely mislabel the 'costs' as 'benefits' and never attempt to show any real 'benefits' (nevermind that benefit/cost > 1.0) - because there are none.

136
bottom down?

wow yeah, that some sound economic policy you got there, Obama

There is no such thing as Bottom-Up growth, you cocksucker, Obama.

137 Chuck Todd's father should of jacked off the night he was conceived.

138 Is Gibsy endorsing tickle down economics?  We are going to have to get old man Bush up here to slap him around.

139 The Iranians weren't honestly negotiating about their nuke program?  Say it's ain't so!

141 By this logic if a salesman sells one 500 dollar plazma TV he can say he sold 500 different products. Salesman of the year!!!!!

OK.  Well.  Yeah.  I don't see what all the fuss is about; I mean...huh?  I mean, you guys are just now getting around to paying taxes is patriotic, Katie.

Spine of STEEL!

 

 

143 Did he actually say "bottom-down"?

144 More blabbering about "bottom down" economics

Did he really call it that???  If so that could be the death of Obamanomics.

Bottom Down:  when you hit rock bottom and keep digging.

They used to call it bottom down. then some one told them that sucked, try something different. So, now, they bounce around saying crap like "indirect" job creation by giving people money to spend on the economy.

 

151 I only save or create jobs in the vice industries .

152

Huh.  More waste of the public's money.  More lies.  How unexpected (/sarc).  Is there no law or moral rule these bastards do not trample under foot every damn day? 

How can you tell a Liberal is lying?  His lips are moving.  Or his fingers are typing.  Or he's writing a note.  Or he's sending up a smoke signal.  Etc...

I used to wonder why.  Why would they say so many things that were so obviously and insultingly untrue?  Then I was enlightened by this explanation:

Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

The W-88 has nice pop, but 400 MT?  That's like chixlub-wipe out the dinosaurs and all of north america size. 

I liked at the very end of that CBS report where they were starting in on a report about Hillary and the city of laWhore. 

Posted by: wws at October 30, 2009 01:14 PM (T1boi)

I revised that to kilotons.  I'm pretty sure we don't have any megaton warheads these days.  My (brain lock) typo would make the W-88 nine times larger than the Soviet Tsar Bomba test.  Cool, but not very useful except for vaporizing hostile meteors in space or something.    

155 So far the only jobs I created this morning were in the sewage treatment business.

156

134 Question: If someone is losing their job, but they get a $50 going away gift from their work, was that job created or saved?

That's an excellent question.

157 Don't you think, that if you were to hire a spokesman for the friggin White House, that you'd be able to find someone that didn't say UH or UM more than you did?

158

I'm glad I took math before this new fangled Democratic math came along?

Why?  That shit's deader than Latin.  2+2=Unicorn is what the hip young gangsters running the show are pimpin now.

Yesterday, a caller to the Howie Carr Show

You mean, Jay Severin has competition in the Boston market?  Coulda fooled me.

 

160

13 This is exactly how the government is supposed to work in the college professor fairy-tail land.

Fairy-tail?  Bunk!

161 154

Oh lord - Gibbs just got asked - has the President read, or started to read the House Health Care bill. Gibss answer - I don't know.

You can not make this stuff up. Seriously.

Posted by: Mallamutt at October 30, 2009 01:19 PM (V9SYy)

Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to carry your golf bag, AND a nearly 2000 page document around the links? DO YOU?

162 Gibbs is a seriously stupid man.

163

You mean, Jay Severin has competition in the Boston market?  Coulda fooled me.

You being funny, right? Jay is okay, but Howie is 10x better.

164 Gibbs says "uh" even MORE frequently than President Genius.

165 I'm pretty sure we don't have any megaton warheads these days.

The H-bombs were all scrapped years ago.  Some of the initiator mini-bombs were recycled into ordinary fission warheads.

166

Oh, Major Garrett just called bullshit on Gibbs. Yesterday, Gibbs said Cash for Clunkers was 1.6 of the 3.5 GDP. Now, Valerie Jarrett said Cash for Clunkers was not part of the 3.5 GDP. Garrett wants to know how you can claim both. Gibbs just decided to point out GDP grew, so f you Major.

167 Looks like yesterdays fraudulent GDP lies wore off, and that the saved or created shit isn't working so well. Dow down 222.

168 What lies before us and what lies behind us is nothing compared to what lies right to our f***ing faces.

169

Dow down 222.

Wait till GDP shrinks next quarter. Hell, wait till November, when they revise the GDP number (you will have to read about here - the MSM won't cover it) and it is more like a 1.5 increase.

And if Christmas is as bad as they are predicting (not sold on that yet, still think some of the big box stores are intentionally underestimating their revenue projections so when the exceed their low ball estimates the stock shots up) wait till you start seeing companies like Macy go chapter 11.

170

26 Well, I am sure that this is a theological conundrum for the devoted.  If Obama told a lie, did he actually say it?  Or is it a lie that the people heard it?
That is interesting, good pickup, Ace.  Now we know where the saved or created claim comes from. 

You are seriously giving me a headache

171 These aren't lies, they're "alternatively sourced truths".

172 The good news is that since the majority of the MSM is embracing this new "yardstick", any GOP President can use it in the future.

Uh, no. Whatever gave you that idea? Maybe in a sane world, but not the one we live in. The first time the words "x number of jobs have been saved or created" comes out of the mouth of a Republican president's press secretary or spokesman, the MSM will be all over it like a school of starving piranha on a cow that has fallen into the Amazon River. And if some conservative pundit points out the obvious double-standard, they'll say, "Huh?"

Hey, remember two weeks ago when the Dow reaching 10,000 was "psychologically significant"?

I wonder what 9700 means?

175 wait till you start seeing companies like Macy go chapter 11.

Target is in trouble.  Their sales are way down.  Walking through a Target these days is like exploring an old west ghost town

176 Target is in trouble.

I'm surprised Sears is still around.  Probably not for long.

177 I wonder what 9700 means?

It means you're a virulent racist for even mentioning it.

178 Check that.  How about 9600?

179 Wow, so Katie could very well have a black eye tomorrow?

And Chips family has probably just been abducted.

Right you are, Anita.

182

I wonder what 9700 means?

It means people are still distrustful of Wall Street and we need more regulation to restore confidence in the markets.

183

By this logic if a salesman sells one 500 dollar plazma TV he can say he sold 500 different products. Salesman of the year!!!!!

Moreover, he singlehandedly "created or saved" the jobs of every single one of the 10,000 people working for the companies that built, transported, or sold the TV.

184 No Christmas gift boxed sets of Obama speeches for her!

185

I'm surprised Sears is still around.  Probably not for long.

I am really thinking about throwing in the towel.

186 re: 173  Hopefully a big chunk of the "MSM" will be dead by 2012.  Today's news about TIME's layoffs are hopeful in that regard.

187 Remember those W-88's are the White House's "political" weapons; not the military's.  Single most frightening thing I have heard from the Obama administration - could have come verbatim from the Politburo to the Red Army.

188 Hoping to un-save/create a few ducks and geese in the am. Opening day

189

I wonder what 9700 means?

It means Wall Street traders are acting like tourist at a Vegas Blackjack table. Cashing out after a winning hand, grabbing a drink and waiting a few hours to see how much they have left to play again after the misses goes shopping.

190

I wonder what 9700 means?

 

It means about 6500 in 2008 dollars.

191 /puppet!

192 We don't need nukes.  Its been scientifically proven that one unicorn can defeat 20 inbound warheads.

193 But what are they moving their cash into while they enjoy that drink - Euro's?

194

There is no such thing as Bottom-Up growth, you cocksucker, Obama.

Posted by: Tweet beats dead horses at October 30, 2009 01:15 PM (x9okW)

Well, there is such a thing as bottom growth.

195 That wasn't a realistic test and MDA probably faked it.  Unicorns are unproven.

196 Heck for a measly $500,000 they can save my job and create a new one. (to take my place because I'm going to take the money and run)

197 I already did the study on the sex lives of college freshman for free, so there is another scam from this administration.

I better peer review your data, but I'd rather start a new sample.  Let's do both.

Hello Stimulus Czar.  Need grant money stat.
Hello HHS.  Need condoms stat.
Hello Beer Czar.  You free this weekend?

198

It means Wall Street traders are acting like tourist at a Vegas Blackjack table. Cashing out after a winning hand, grabbing a drink and waiting a few hours to see how much they have left to play again after the misses goes shopping.

Or maybe people are beginning notice that a block of dried Velveeta connected to a Commodore 64 that generates random policy options from the collected economic works of Hugo Chavez and Robert Mugabe is controlling the economy.

Maybe.

199

But what are they moving their cash into while they enjoy that drink - Euro's?

Gold has been through the roof - so that is one.

Currency trading has picked up mainly cause the dollar is tanking - so that is probably another.

But I think its a lot of cash hoarding. Consumer spending is down. Housing is flat. Commercial real estate is cratering. So, I suspect the traders are hoarding cash, waiting for another crash (when the market gets back to 8,000) and then they will jump in and buy what they believe the survivors will be.

200

Or maybe people are beginning notice that a block of dried Velveeta connected to a Commodore 64 that generates random policy options from the collected economic works of Hugo Chavez and Robert Mugabe is controlling the economy.

Circa, I think you are vastly over-estimating the average intelligence of a Wall Street Trader.

207 The economy is going to suck until DC is purged of these thieves.  Serious investors are all terrified that they are going to be ripped off by the government.

208 I guess the money I gave my son to wash and clean my car could count as a job created under the Obama stimulus...because of that tax "increase" we all got earlier this year (amounts to $32 more per month for me).

209 If the US is a store, then the Obama/Pelosi/Reid government is a 400-lb escaped mental patient that has wandered in through an unlocked back door. In less than three minutes it has toppled shelves, scared away customers and taken a dump in front of the cash register.

210 Math is hard.

211

I'd hold the cheers for CBS.  They had little choice in this case.  The AP is running these stories, have said they would continue to do so, and other media outlets were already picking up on it.

I'm starting to wonder if this is partly attributable to the stupid little war against Fox News the White House tried waging.  That stunt not only sent more people to Fox, it actually compelled the other news organizations and left-wing media pundits to defend Fox on First Amendment grounds.  The Chicago street trash MO of the administration got put on display for the entire country to see, and now other news organizations are beginning to question just how competent Obama and his cronies are.

Nixon learned the hard way (twice) that you don't go to war with the media; it appears Obama needs to learn that lesson as well.

212 You mean a politician democrat junior senator preznit Barack Hussein Obama is spinning fibs?  No waaaaay.

213

This isn't hard to figure out, to CBS's credit, they see were  the market is, moving to Fox light? 

I am betting so.

They're in the tank now, what is there to lose?

You heard it here at AoSHQ first.

let me be the 1st to disabuse you of that notion

216

Actually, I think Kemp may be on to something. I suspect it is not going to happen, but it would be brillant.

Your CBS or ABC (NBC doesn't have the choice - it is so invested in this President there is no way they can walk away from the hand, even though they have gone all in holding off-suit 2 and 7). Your are bleeding viewers. For the most part, you are no different then the other 2 networks. You have to do something. You see that the only network with rating growth is Fox. So.......

You start becoming the main critic of this administration of the big 3 networks. Probably be easier for ABC, Jake Trapper would have a shorter trip to get there than whoever the hell is covering the White House for CBS. Bring in a legitimate conservative commentator. Give them one segment a week. Do a few invetigations into SEIU, etc. By 2nd quarter 2010 you probably see your decline end. By 2011, you probably have growth.

These guys are not smart enough to figure it out. Which is why they are going down the drain.

217 It's "top up" economics. Money flows upwards to our betters in the government.

218 Mallamutt,

One problem with your theory. So called journalist are now out on the open leftist now. I don't think they can move back to the center after selling their souls to the left.

219 166  I'm pretty sure we don't have any megaton warheads these days.

Posted by: Purple Avenger at October 30, 2009 01:26 PM (gNacq)

We still have H-bombs. Lots of them.  The really big ones (5-10 MT) have been retired, since they are not as useful as the modern smaller, lighter, and more accurate ones. One reason for the size of those old, really large weapons was the inaccuracy of delivery at the time.  A giant blast meant that you didn't have to get the bomb right on the target.

All the current sub-launched, silo-launched, and cruise missile nuclear warheads are thermonuclear. The yields range about 100-450 kT. There are still a few air-delivered weapons that yield up to a megaton or so. 

Come to think of it, a Trident missile with say, ten 400 kT warheads adds up to 4 megatons total. Distributing the smaller warheads actually causes a lot more destruction than a single 4 MT bomb.

Yesterday, a caller to the Howie Carr Show

You mean, Jay Severin has competition in the Boston market?  Coulda fooled me.

 

*****************

LOL!!!  Severino's on life support.  He's never there, and he's a pompous asshole.  His three-hour show is often two hours of him, then a third-hour re-run of the first hour.   (You're not supposed to notice, I guess, and given how predictable and boring he is, you won't)

  His station's management is desperately moving time slots and hosts around as if  they were playing mah-jong.  

 (Howie's station WRKO is also in terrible shape, but at least they've got him and Rush. WTTK's got Squat.  Jack.  Bupkis. Nada. Rien.  Rei. Nul. )

222 So Sting, what say you now.

223

One problem with your theory. So called journalist are now out on the open leftist now. I don't think they can move back to the center after selling their souls to the left.

True, but that actually can work for the network benefit. Gives you an excuse to dump all the old guys (at a higher salary) and hire new, cheaper talent. Call it a retooling. No one is watching the CBS evening news because of Katie Friggin Couric. So, dump her 7 million a year salary and hire some fresh face to just read the teleprompter. Hire a bunch of kids to pester the crap out of the White House. Or better yet, hire Hannah and the guy and make them reporters.

Doable. They aren't that smart, but doable.

224 I love this economy ! When everybody is starving we can call it Fun-ger. Funger and Partyvation!

225 Albany Oregon's biggest employer just shut down their paper mill this week.....the recession is over!!!!

I used to live in Albany, grew up there, actually.  That paper mill has operated for as long as I can remember.  I have friends around there who are looking for work, but can't find jobs.

226 Heh. So does this mean CBS is not a legitimate "real" news source anymore?

227

The account about how these "saved" and "created" jobs are calculated is absolutely true. Here in the Show Me state, public schools have been told that the state funds they've received as a matter of course are now considered spendulus money and school administrators have to sign forms affirming that yes, they saved and created jobs, too. Same amount of money received as usual except that the state now says what the funding is considered federal stimulus funds. When school districts complained that they were being forced to lie on the forms about saving and creating jobs, state officials hemmed and hawed and said that they're getting pressure from feds. If this is any indication of how things are going in the rest of the country all of the numbers are wildly exaggerated.

228 Must be serious if Couric takes time out from bashing Sarah Palin to mildly criticize His Most Wonderfulness the Nobel Prize Winner.

229 uuum, you are all missing the big picture here.  I'm getting in on the study sex lives of college freshman.  They need a dirty old man to observe, I mean.  I'm reformed.  college chicks are hotttttttttttttttttttttt!

230 We've saved or created jobs at a factory in Chicago that makes miniature models of factories.

231 They think "saved or created" sounds better than "Please grade us on a curve."

But I think "Please grade us on a curve" sounds better.

232 Chip Reid (CBS) is the guy who challenged Poopypants Gibbs about the totalitarian control of prezidential press conferences (seconded by Helen Thomas, of all people).

So he might be a bit more principled than most of the sycophants. Jake Tapper has also done his job to some degree.

Sigh.

233

Ace, do you have a source for that "1 dollar" guideline?  I have seen that nowhere else, and in the documentation I looked up (below), it seems that the jobs are pro-rated by the amount of recovery funding applied to the job.
