Thousands of classified American cables obtained by the WikiLeaks website detail the international struggle to stop the spread of weapon-grade nuclear, chemical and biological material around the globe. 

On February 1, The Daily Telegraph began to detail what it had learned through its analysis of the leaked documents, in particular the fact that al Qaeda is on the verge of producing radioactive weapons after sourcing nuclear material and recruiting rogue scientists to build "dirty" bombs. 

According to leaked diplomatic documents, we have been warned that Jihadi groups are close to producing "workable and efficient" biological and chemical weapons that could kill thousands if unleashed in attacks on the West. 

Like things aren’t really bad enough... 

The following video of an ABC news affiliate in San Diego highlights a current story on the San Diego Port Authority:

My lovely wife slipped on the ice left over from all the snow that Creeper sent our way this year.  Snapped that hip bone so it no longer connects to the leg bone.  She did it Friday on the way out and then went and did her errands.  She tried to convince me for two nights that not being able to walk on her leg didn't mean it was broken.  We were at the ER at 8am today and knew the details by 9.

Tomorrow she ends her life of easy airport screenings and gets a shiny new ceramic hip.  She's looking forward to her first pat down.

I needless to say, will be scarce around this place for a little bit as I play woman and do my 40 hours at the office and 30 more at home cooking and cleaning and stuff.

A Rasmussen Poll released on February 7th showed that 58% of Americans favor repeal of Obamacare; 56% say the cost of healthcare will go up because of it; and 52% say the quality of healthcare will get worse because of it. Looks like Americans don’t particularly like the new healthcare legislation. 

On the other hand, Progressives are on record saying that Obamacare will create new jobs. Just before the final vote on the Obamacare bill, Nancy Pelosi even said:

“It’s about jobs. In its life, [Obamacare bill] will create 4 million jobs — 400,000 jobs almost immediately.” 

Oops, Nancy told a whopper!

It turns out that the Congressional Budget Office never supported her view. During a House Budget Committee meeting on February 10th, Congressional Business Office Director Douglas Elmendorf said that the bill will not create jobs.

Worse yet, in his testimony in front of the committee, Elmendorf made a disturbing announcement. He said he expects Obamacare to actually eliminate 800,000 jobs, that number is equal to every job in Delaware and South Dakota. 

He explained it this way:

Ain't America and our independence just wonderful?

It seems that it's always about cost.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-10/nyse-symbol-of-u-s-capitalism-lost-out-as-investors-sought-lower-costs.html

The New York Stock Exchange, the symbol of American capitalism for more than a century, may merge with a German rival after losing ground to smaller competitors.

NYSE Euronext, the owner of the NYSE, is negotiating to be acquired by Deutsche Boerse AG with equity valued at $10 billion after its market share dwindled to 23 percent from 80 percent in the past six years. The new company will be the biggest exchange owner, handling equities worth $15 trillion and 40 percent of the U.S. options market.

The FLOTUS has been taking hits for the fat food menu served at the White House Super Bowl Party, because she lectures us on our eating habits and the size of our fat behinds. They have a point, up to a point. (People don’t like to be repeatedly told they’re fat, unhealthy, and headed for a heart attack— even if it’s true.)

Maybe our FLOTUS should add something new to her plate, and I’m not talking food. Maybe it’s time for her to seize a headline issue that could use the talents of a Harvard graduate with a law degree. As a Chicago native, she already knows something about the issue of failing schools and the students who fall through the cracks because of them. Michelle Obama strikes me as a woman, who is both tough enough and smart enough to change things for parents like Ohio mother of two, Kelley Williams-Bolar.   

The Muslim Brotherhood? Any fool can google and find out the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to our Western way of life, so why are so many in the media not telling the truth? Why would people in a free press in a free society support them?

As I was responding to Sharyn's comment, Economic Recovery, my post got too big for a simple comment so I turned it into this blog entry. She quoted Robert Reich in his Feb 4 article: Robert Reich: The Jobs Report, and America's Two Economies.

Just about everything he said in his article is wrong.
