Daryl Hannah must be seriously wounded

WASHINGTON DC – TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline will not harm the environment, the State Department — in a blow to environmentalists who want to block the project — wrote in a newly-drafted report on the latest proposed route.

“[T]he draft Supplemental EIS concludes that approval or denial of the proposed Project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, or on the amount of heavy crude oil refined in the Gulf Coast area,” the State Department draft report says, as Think Progress noted.

(Reuters) – Michigan Governor Rick Snyder on Friday formally declared Detroit in a fiscal emergency and said he had identified a top candidate to take over financial management of the destitute city.

The declaration virtually assures that the state of Michigan will assume control of Detroit’s books, though Snyder was careful to say there is still a window of 10 days for city leaders to convince him otherwise.

“I believe it’s appropriate to declare the city of Detroit in financial emergency,” Snyder told a forum of community leaders at a Detroit public television station.

Detroit has faced the steepest population decline of any major American city in recent decades. Once the fifth largest U.S. city, which shone as the birthplace of the U.S. automotive industry and Motown music, it now ranks 18th in size with about 700,000 people – after suffering a 25 percent decline in population between 2000 and 2010.

A few days ago I asked the question “where are the adults in the White House”?   Apparently they are not back yet.

And the media…..  (((crickets))) 

Let me tell you what the “real” long, and short-term, goal of the Fabian Socialist progressives is.   The economy, right now, is naturally about to seriously contract.   All of the signs are there:   Wal-Mart is reporting massive drops in same store sales, restaurants are reporting the same, durable goods orders are the lowest in decades, Obamacare is forcing restructuring and lay-offs of small and medium-sized business payrolls.  Etc…. etc.

All of the KPI indicators, including the revised 3rd and 4th qtr GDP numbers point to a new recession – it just has not been quantified yet.   But.It.Is.Here.    

This is known to economists and the White House.  What President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are doing is creating an argument to deflect attention from their failed economic policy – They are going to use the faux sequester impact to deflect away, and explain, their new recession.    That is the current strategy and the overarching goal;  Avoidance for the consequences of their creation.  Make it look like it’s the other guys fault.   (more…)

That post title was actually a comment in regard to the video below – it made me laugh so hard I’m almost embarrassed to admit,…. almost.

There was an award show in North Carolina for “Hip Hop” fashion.   What follows is footage from the event:

I have no idea what the fight was about, and honestly I don’t care. I couldn’t take my eyes off the husky young woman hiking her stretch pants up, picking up an entire eight foot banquet table and throwing it – all the while never dropping her pocket book!  Yet, if that weren’t impressive enough, she catches two chairs that get thrown at her after that!

On Thursday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said President Barack Obama went too far when he publicly explained the consequences of the looming sequestration deadline.

“Well, they know that they really overshot it,” Krauthammer said. “It was the president himself. He could have had surrogates out there. But you know, the only thing left out of his litany of catastrophe is pestilence, earthquake, brimstone and plague. I mean it’s actually hilarious he goes through all of this. (link)

Last year was a leap year, so in order to continue similarity in date comparisons between last year and this year today’s post will cover both Feb 29th and March 1st 2012.

February 29th 2012 was a Wednesday and March 1st was a Thursday.   On Wednesday of last year, Trayvon’s body was picked up by Fort Lauderdale funeral director Richard Kurtz and transported back to Miami-Dade.   [The viewing and funeral services were held Friday night and Saturday respectively.]

Kurtz became a factor in the Scheme Team narrative by falsely claiming Trayvon’s body showed no visible signs of a struggle.   We outlined the entire false story and his reasoning for false statements to the media here.

Apparently these early days Feb 29th, March 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, were used by the Scheme Team to organize the media campaign – and coordinate the strategy that would follow. (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler
