MARK TAPSCOTT: Why Do The Koch Brothers Get All The Sunshine?
Here’s a couple of data points that bear serious thought this week by transparency advocates celebrating Sunshine Week and by everybody else who cares about protecting and preserving a free and independent press:
1,130 – Number of results for search term “Koch Brothers” on The New York Times web site.
64 – Number of results for search term “The Tides Foundation” on The New York Times web site.
For the few stray souls out there who don’t know, the Koch Brothers are Charles and David, principals of the Koch corporate conglomerate and chief bete noirs of President Obama, liberal journalists covering national politics and Citizens United obsessives everywhere.
It’s equally certain that few reading this post know anything at all about the San Francisco-based Tides Foundation, even though its roots go deep into the radical student movement of the 1960s and it has helped fund or startup virtually every significant liberal, progressive and radical cause in the years since. . . . Consider these numbers, derived from multiple searches of foundation grant databases, IRS Form 990s and other public records:
Three Koch foundations made a total of 181 grants worth $25,405,525 in 2010 (most recent available records). The one Tides Foundation made a total of 2,627 grants worth $143,529,590 in 2010.
Put otherwise, for every one grant made by a Koch foundation, Tides made more than five grants.

"Helicopter" Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve have painted themselves in a corner.
There is no way out.
Like the moron who preceded him, Bernanke will get-the hell-out-of-Dodge before the bill comes due.

Gotta love the red herrings and straw man arguments in that steaming pile of Breitbart.
"Myth: Minimum wage workers NEVER get raises!
Trooth: 2 out of 3 minimum wage workers get a raise after 12 months on the job!"
Derrrrrrrrrrrrp!

AUSTERITY: Government Advertises for Nearly 2,600 New Jobs Since Sequestration. “This includes 107 new positions at the Department of Homeland Security, which has freed illegal immigrants citing budgetary constraints.” It’s all about priorities

The illustration that accompanies the dictionary definition of "Insanity"
It may be just a bit taller than Shaquille O'Neal but, unlike Shaq, this stack of Obamacare regulations is still growing.
The office of Senator Mitch McConnell, the GOP minority leader in the Senate, has sent out a shocking photo.
This is over 20,000 pages and measures 7′ 2.5″. These are all the Obamacare regulations published in the Federal Register up through last week. Then last Friday they added another 828 pages.

FINANCIAL IRRESPONSIBILITY: “If you want a sense of just how massive the nation’s debt problem is, consider this: The U.S. added $226 billion in new debt in just the 35 days since President Obama missed the legal deadline to submit his budget. That’s more than the government will spend this year on education, homeland security, law enforcement, housing aid, energy and the environment, combined.”

They are NOT even PRETENDING anymore
Senior White House Official On Obama Meeting With GOP: “This Is A Joke” . . . “I Hope You All In The Media Are Happy Because We’re Doing It For You” …
Obviously.
Via National Journal:
He is dining with Republicans after advisers openly mocked suggestions that he do so. He is visiting Capitol Hill after telling aides that such a gesture was beneath him and the dignity of his office. And, as an ultimate indignity, he is talking to reporters. What’s gotten into President Obama?
A better question might be what has left the president – and the answer would be: Much of his political capital.
Obama’s sudden burst of public outreach coincides with a drop in his approval ratings, noted first by Democratic pollsters advising the White House last week and now surfacing in a spate of public polls. This raises the uncomfortable question: Is this schmooze-a-thon a legitimate act of humility and leadership or a cynical public display?
I can’t answer that question because I don’t pretend to know Obama’s state of mind. I can tell you that some of his advisers are no more convinced that this strategy will work than they were a few days ago.
“This is a joke. We’re wasting the president’s time and ours,” complained a senior White House official who was promised anonymity so he could speak frankly. “I hope you all (in the media) are happy because we’re doing it for you.”

yeah? FUCK THE 1ST AMMENDMENT
Obama’s Reported Pick To Be Next Secretary Of Labor Worked For Soros-Funded Illegal Immigrant Group, Refused To Rule Out Saudi-Style Blasphemy Laws In America…
Oh yeah, he’ll fit in perfectly with the rest of the radicals Obama employs.
Via American Thinker:
President Obama reportedly intends to nominate in-your-face radical leftist lawyer Thomas Perez as his next Secretary of Labor.
Now an assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice, Perez is a former top aide to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and possibly a perjurer.
Perez led the Obama administration’s assault on voter ID laws last year. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky report in Who’s Counting, as a member of the Montgomery County, Md., Council in 2003 he also tried to force governments to accept fraud-prone matricula consular ID cards issued by Mexican consular offices. He was a board member of Casa de Maryland, an advocacy group for illegal aliens funded by George Soros and the recently deceased Hugo Chavez.
Perez is apparently in favor of Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws. In Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries offenders can be condemned to death merely for insulting Islam.
Amazingly, at a congressional hearing last year, Perez pointedly declined to rule out bringing such laws to the United States. At the July 27, 2012, meeting of the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the Constitution, Perez refused to say whether he would uphold the religious speech protections in the First Amendment in the future.
“Will you tell us … that this administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?” Congressman Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) asked four times to no avail.
Perez, like so many Obama administration officials, believes that America is a seething hotbed of “Islamophobia,” filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the Muslim religion. He has worked with hardcore Islamist groups such as the terrorist-linked Islamic Society of North America and applauded Islamists for lobbying against airline security measures.

Johhny Bracket Genius Cracker SavAge says
What REGZ?
I sees no REGZ!
Lots of pages = lots of regz.
Dummy.
Here's a reg: "All businesses must close on Wednesday"
Six words good, Shack-eel sized stack bad?
Of course, simpletons need a visual indicator.

WRT Obamacare:
I would have made it a one sentence law and regulation:
"All government health programs are hereby merged and all Americans are eligible for coverage"
Done.
Must be good because it's a short stack of papers.
