Attempted smear of Wisconsin Governor Walker is not working

The leftists must be so sure of a Walker recall win they are stopping at nothing to discredit the Governor.

The smear story was about a college girl that Walker was alleged to have impregnated when he was 20 years old.

Even the Markos Moulitsas far left publiction said the story didn’t have a leg to stand on.

What's next for the desperate Wisconsin Democrats? Claim that there is an illegal alien maid in the Walker household? Where is Gloria Allred when they need her?

Did Walker go to all his National Guard meetings? Oh wait, that was the “fake but accurate” lie by Dan Rather about George W. Bush in 2004. The National Guard - Bush tale didn't work and got Rather fired from CBS.

They will need to hurry with their Walker smears - the election is tomorrow.

An angry Mayor Bloomberg defends banned Slurpees amid donut pig out

Mayor Bloomberg (pictured) crankily defended his simultaneous support for a super-sized soda ban and Donut Day on Friday, denouncing his critics as “ridiculous.”

“C’mon!” he said testily as “Today” show host Matt Lauer needled him for celebrating a holiday for fried dough as he tries to stop New Yorkers from guzzling sugary drinks.

The $3 Billion deficit Wisc Gov Walker inherited has become a surplus

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman got more much-needed schooling from syndicated columnist George Will on ABC's This Week Sunday.

After Krugman impugned Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisc.) for his so-called "fiscal irresponsibility," Will simply and quite accurately responded, "A more than $3 billion budget that he inherited, a deficit, has now become a surplus"

The man running against Governor Scott Walker, Mayor Barrett of Milwaukee, has used the Walker reforms to save $19 million in the Milwaukee budget itself, so he's running against a man whose reforms he's emulating and using.

Threats and deals got drug companies on board with Obama

From a Washington Times report:

Top administration officials cut back room deals with the nation’s top drug companies to win support for President Obama’s health care overhaul, threatening them with steeper taxes if they resisted and promising a better financial deal for the industry if they acquiesced, according to internal documents released Thursday by House Republicans.

___________________________________

As much as anything, the drug companies allegedly supported ObamaCare in exchange for immunity from prosecution for their direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs.

One commenter wrote:

Instead of being true consultants with your doctor in choosing the medicine that works best for you, the industry returned to its snake-oil roots of the late 1800s, disrespecting the doctor-patient relationship in order to sell high-priced pills like cartons of laundry soap.

___________________________________

The material released by House GOP members provides a rare insider look at the wheeling and dealing on Capitol Hill as President Obama forced ObamaCare through Congress, in the face of near-unanimous GOP opposition and some Democrat opposition.

Democrats in Washington tried to make ObamaCare appear like ivy glistening in the sun while covering a stately brick structure. House GOP members are now finding that underneath those “ObamaCare ivy vines,” as with actual ivy vines, there are all manner of creepy crawling things.

A Widows 8 review - its pretty scary!

John C. Dvorak (pictured) wrote a Windows 8 review for Market Watch found at the link below.

If you’re squeamish about reading scathing reviews it may be wise to wait until next Halloween to read the full report.

Mr. Dvorak is a technical writer for various publications including PC Magazine and InfoWorld.

Dvorak does not mince words in voicing his dislike for Windows 8.

It’s not that Mr. Dvorak hates Microsoft. In fact, he even supported the idea that Microsoft’s Bob interface was mismarketed and actually was unique and interesting.

Bob was intended to be an interface for Windows 95 replacing 95‘s program manager. It was a specacular flop. Even Bob’s logo was creepy.

A sample of Dvorak’s Windows 8 critique:

It is refreshingly slick-looking and modern, albeit without any charm whatsoever.

The real problem is that it is both unusable and annoying. It makes your teeth itch as you keep asking, “Why are they doing this!?”

First of all, the system-software product is mostly divorced from all the thought and trends developed by Windows over the years, as if to say that they were wrong the whole time, so let’s try something altogether new.

No business will tolerate this software, let me assure you. As a productivity tool, it is unusable.

New Romney ad shows Solyndra as Obama Symbol of Failure

A new Romney ad came right out of his surprise appearance at the site of the bankrupt Solyndra Thursday, and includes plenty of film of the Fremont firm’s steel-shrouded exterior now abandoned and shuttered.

The ad also contains a clip of the moment when, almost two years to the day, President Obama visited Solyndra and had some glowing words about the firm.

“Two years ago, President Obama was here to tout this building and this business as a symbol of the success of his stimulus,” says Romney. “Well you can see that it’s a symbol of something very different today. It’s a symbol not of success, but of failure.”

Solyndra will be a thorn in Obama’s side for some time to come.

Film like the Romney Solyndra ad shown above will be a constant reminder to the Obama campaign that Mitt Romney will not follow the overly polite, almost apologetic tone of the McCain campaign four years ago.
