* Stop supporting the enemies of freedom and start supporting your friends. Cancel your subscriptions to cable TV channels, magazines or newspapers that support big government over individual liberty.

Give your money to people, companies and publications that support your ideals rather than undermine them. The so-called "mainstream media" isn't really "mainstream" at all in terms of its ideas and beliefs.

It's only mainstream because it's the biggest media sector. But it's been shrinking for years. Help speed its path to irrelevance. Likewise for other businesses: If they support government policies that reduce freedom, do business with someone else.

This may not change their mind: If media companies cared solely about the bottom line, the New York Times would have changed its tune years ago, instead of becoming steadily more PC. But it will reduce their importance.

Does anyone at 5th street have a clue ? Come on "Caroling" at private homes isn't cute , it is UNION INTIMIDATION .

This is a thug tactic that should have light shined on it and not praise heaped on it .

You bet your @ss , if all the dissatisfied viewers went and Caroled at TAO's home some catching " Main stream media bias " songs the press would be terrible .

Maybe we should kill tax increases in committee ?

From WSJ : Hare & Staff = Office space

2010-12-01T21:18:00.000-08:00

While U.S. Capitol staff prepare office space for the 94 incoming House freshman, their defeated or retiring predecessors have been banished to the basement.

Photo by Danny Yadron, WSJ

Outgoing members had to vacate their offices by noon today. Their new homes for the rest of the lame-duck session: two chairs and cubicles in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building.

“It’s a bit humbling,” said Tim Schlittner, spokesman for the defeated Rep. Phil Hare (D., Ill.). “I feel like Milton from ‘Office Space.’”

Mr. Schlittner was referring to the character from the 1999 comedy about cubicle culture who is banished to the basement. He said his boss has yet to visit his new digs.

Washington Wire snatched a quick peek at the suite, sandwiched between the cafeteria and the vending room, which is closed to the public. The space, last used for new member orientation, now boasts dozens of gray-walled cubicles. Members get a computer, a phone, office supplies and space for one staff member. So far, there have been no complaints, said Kyle Anderson, spokesman for Democrats on the House Administration Committee.

Rep. Paul Kanjorski, a 13-term Pennsylvania Democrat who lost to Hazelton Mayor Lou Barletta, has one secretary working the phones. His office did not respond to an immediate request for comment. No one answered calls to defeated Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, the outspoken Democrat. His voicemail box was full, a message said.

Members have space for two additional staffers in the Longworth House Office Building. The rest of Mr. Hare’s staff is working on cell phones out of their apartments.

“There’s some camaraderie,” Mr. Schlittner said. “A lot of us suffered the same fate.”

The local political machine is under decay and near death .

A yellow flag flying means friends are near .

Chicago is a place that just doesn't get it , no matter how you try and enlighten them .

10 am on WTAD is a must listen , now .

Quincy found out how to play football ( both schools )

Teachers Unions suck ( I knew it already but that phone banking for Hare sealed it )

The Whig will praise Sen. Sullivan ( soon to have Ret. after his name ) every time he wants to raise taxes and fees .

Bernie @SJR is clueless and biased

LaRouche folks are NUTS , but this is WRONG

2010-08-29T12:23:00.000-07:00

First of all this is wrong on so many levels . Alaska needs to be firing folks . First should be the State Trooper who should know better . If indeed he is a trooper then he needs a Con Law class while he is unemployed .

I have no skin in the game with LaRouche folks , but wrong is wrong . Maybe Rodney can write about how super cool public employees are in Alaska as they crap on the Supreme laws of the land .

I have a feeling in NJ , Chris Christy would bring the Chain Saw to the about to get job cut party . I think Police agencies nation wide should refresh themselves .

UPDATE #1

http://www.ktuu.com/news/ktuu-crime-state-fair-protester-arrest-082710,0,2668811.story

Pretty thin rope saying STATE FAIR ground is private property , I will be interested watching this play out .

I still find the actions of the State Trooper most disturbing because of his crowd control threats . Now he could have said " hey let me get control of this situation then we can talk "

Or "give us some space and when back up arrives , lets review your camera "

Instead he went full I HAVE a badge , shocked he didn't issue a loud radio ticket .

I found a picture that I thought was fitting
