" LOS ANGELES (CBS) — More stores across the U.S. that offer deeply-discounted products are seeing their sales decline after years of growth amid America’s “Great Recession” — and one analyst said on Monday it’s another sign of even deeper downturn. "
The article states (further down) that rising food and transportation (fuel) costs are causing prices at the stores to rise. Think of it this way: The food you buy didn't get to the store by itself, did it? Of course not; It was brought there in a truck. And that truck used fuel to bring it from the farm (or factory). And that farm (or factory) used fuel also.
So; they're right. But they're part of the same problem. It's part of a cause and effect cycle - a chain of events.
CAUSE: The price of oil is higher.
EFFECT: The price of petrol (gasoline) is higher.
EFFECT: The farm (or factory) must spend more for fuel.
EFFECT: Prices at the store rise as they pass off the higher costs to consumers.
I don't think even Obama's chief water-carrier Keith Olbermann could dispute this chain of events. Although he and Janeane Garofalo would quickly say it's "RAAAAAAAAAAACIST" to point it out.
Seriously, you two. I've bebunked that race card how many times now? Yet you continue to reach for it. Believe it or not, but you have become part of the problem.
You can't dispute the facts so you call names, belittle people, or call them racists. You are therefore part of the problem. And so am I.
Be very careful here: for if you immediately dismiss it without considering it, you're saying that you are perfect.
And nobody is perfect.
Believe it or not, but your 'chosen one' is also part of the problem. Yes, he did inherit a bad situation from Mr Bush, but come on now. How far into Mr Obama's presidency are we? And things haven't gotten better, they've gotten worse.
Is it just barely possible that he also bears blame? Be very careful here.
" “In other words, the economy is continuing to be worse, the Obama depression continues to explode,” he [top retail analyst Howard Davidowitz] added. (emphasis, colour, and italics added)
Quick: Department of Hussein's Sycophants (DHS) investigate the paper and writer! They've obviously racists for saying it. Mr Olbermann and Ms Garofalo have said so.

MSNBC and "Lean Forward"
First, a few links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSNBC
and
http://www.msnbc.com
" Following several years in which many observers noted a politically progressive shift in the channel's programming, MSNBC publicly acknowledged its progressivism in October 2010 while launching a marketing campaign with the tagline "Lean Forward." [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] In a June 2011 interview, MSNBC president Phil Griffin stated that "MSNBC has established a sensibility, a position, a platform" and that "MSNBC is really the place to go for progressives."[16] " (Links are Wikipedia's and are left intact.)
Here, we learn that MSNBC had publicly acknowledged its "...progressivism..." which Wikipedia defines as "...a political attitude favoring or advocating changes or reform through governmental action."
I'll be the first to admit that some government control is a good thing. For example, I wouldn't want various states in the United States to have nuclear weapons. Alaska and Texas, for example, really don't like each other. Therefore, could you imagine what might have happened if, when the Wichita Falls Wildcats and the University of Anchorage SeaWolves played in Anchorage, a Rustlers fan just happened to have a small nuke with him?
Let's further assume that this match took place in January (For the record, I do know that these two teams played in Anchorage, but not when.)
It can get really cold in Anchorage in January. And it really doesn't get all that cold in Wichita Falls. Therefore, a Texan brings a nuke with him not to do damage, but rather, to get warm.
For a reason like that (I know, a stupid one) having a central government is a good idea.
But not everything can be solved by a centralized government. Some problems are best handled at the local or state level.
But then we come to MSNBC which now embraces its progressivism ... which could also be called liberalism. Question: Haven't they in fact turned themselves from a news organization into a cheerleader? Another question: Don't they themselves say that Fox News isn't a news organization but a wing of the Republican Party? Therefore, by their own reasoning: haven't they become a wing of the Democratic Party, and specifically the Obama Administration?
Remember when MSNBC, in the midst of showing tsunami damage in Japan, thought that was a good time to remind its viewers that Obama was born in Hawaii? Question: What the hell does the tsunami in Japan have to do with where Obama was born??
MSNBC is the place to go for progressives. Phil Griffin said that. So much for being a valid news organization.

Article about "Stimulus"
The link: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-s-economists-stimulus-has-cost-278000-job_576014.html
" When the Obama administration releases a report on the Friday before a long weekend, it’s clearly not trying to draw attention to the report’s contents. Sure enough, the “Seventh Quarterly Report” on the economic impact of the “stimulus,” released on Friday, July 1, provides further evidence that President Obama’s economic “stimulus” did very little, if anything, to stimulate the economy, and a whole lot to stimulate the debt. " (Links are theirs and are left intact.)
That's actually quite telling. So the "stimulus" didn't really stimulate the economy. It did stimulate the debt, however.
I'm about to be called a racist again for pointing that out. And I'm really really tired of it.
I honest to God don't understand why people have to keep calling me a racist when it's absolutely not true. My problem with Barack Obama isn't because he's African-American, my problem with him is his policies. My other problem with Mr Obama is the people he associates with.
Case in point: Van Jones.
Case in point: Bill Ayers.
Case in point: Ms Kagan.
Case in point: You get the idea.

Article: "Elderly woman asked to remove adult diaper during TSA search."
The link: http://www.newsherald.com/news/mother-94767-search-adult.html
Here, we learn that a 95 year old female was given the extensive full-body search. We learn that she had to remove her soiled undergarment because it was impeding the search. We also learn that she was in a wheelchair because she was not "...stable enough to walk through."
Those are the facts. But come on, TSA.
" “TSA cannot exempt any group from screening because we know from intelligence that there are terrorists out there that would then exploit that vulnerability,” she [Miami TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz] said. "
And, Ms Koshetz is right. There are those terrorists that would use this as well as other means, such as a false pregancy.
But then let's contrast this with this: http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/30028
" " However, Muslim women will not have to face such worries. CNSNews.com has reported that Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) — which is frequently tied to domestic terror plots — has been guaranteed that TSA officials will only pat down Muslim women in the head and neck area. " (emphasis and colour added)
You're absolutely right, Ms Koshetz.
This link: http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/06/26/florida.tsa.incident/index.html?hpt=hp_c1 is about the 95 year old woman who was forced to endure the procedure. Yes, you're absolutely right Ms Koshetz. She looks like a terrorist to me. (sarcasm mode now OFF)

Michelle Obama: "Fortunately, we have help from the media."
The link: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/24/michelle_obama_fortunately_we_have_help_from_the_media.html
Yes, this truly qualifies as a "duh" moment.
The CNN reporter asks Ms Obama if the family is ready and how they're going to handle the election. The reporter also asks if it's going to be vicious.
" First Lady Michelle Obama: "You know, it's … we're ready, you know. Our children, you know, could care less about what we're doing. We work hard to do that. Fortunately, we have help from the media. I have to say this: I'm very grateful for the support and kindness that we've gotten. " (emphasis added)
Again, this shouldn't be a "duh" moment. Here's that link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm1KOBMg1Y8 His voters didn't know which party controlled Congress when they were asked. For reference, the Democrats did.
Many of his voters didn't know who Barney Frank is. Or who Harry Reid is. Some of them didn't even know whow Ms Pelosi is. For the record; they're all Democrats.
And then there's TelePrompTer boy and his 57 states that campaigned in. Oh, and he had ONE left to go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws
If you visit the first link about how Mr Obama got elected, there you go.
But let's say that Mr McCain had said he'd campaigned in 57 states. The liberal media would still be talking about that to this day. But Barack's a Democrat, so what the hell, right?
And then there's this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBrHkxqNT7s
In this clip Obama supporters were asked if they believed Mr Obama was a keynesian. Many of them didn't know. One woman got nearly hostile.
For reference, keynesian refers to the economic theory of John Maynard Keynes.
But what the hell, right?

"On the Road Again..."
Time to hit the road solo.
I'll have my laptop, my .MP3 player, my LEGALLY downloaded Coast to Coast AM (12GIG), my LEGALLY downloaded Dragnet and Gunsmoke, and my DVDs. Well, only some of them. I'll be ready.
Am I nervous? Yes, and no.
I can drive, that's no problem. Both my mentor and my instructor have said that. I'm nervous about being on my own. Even though I'll have my .MP3 player, it's not quite the same as having an actual live person to speak with.
If you believe in prayer, I could use it. :)

Milk-toast vs Milquetoast
I honestly didn't know the difference.
But I'm listening to Dragnet, "The Big Crazy" and one of the witnesses referred to somebody who was suspected of murder as a milquetoast.
I had thought it was milk-toast, but it's not. 'Milk-toast (*1)' is a breafast food. 'Milquetoast (*2)' is a weak, ineffectual, or bland person.
I had to look it up. :)
They are spelled differently, yet pronounced exactly the same.
