"Rep. Mark Kirk, the Republican candidate for the Illinois Senate  seat once held by Barack Obama, has admitted he didn't receive a U.S. award that he had claimed for his service in the NATO conflict with Serbia in the late 1990s, the Washington Post reported Saturday."

What happens when you mix Chicago with Washington DC?  You get a giant sh**stain.... in the Whitehouse.  I never thought I would say this but I REALLY miss GWB.


Top of the Ticket

As a public service, The Ticket today is officially launching a comprehensive list of Democrats who have not recently been offered jobs by the Obama White House to not do something. It can't be too long a list, so just leave your names in the Comments section.

Wednesday's revelations by yet another Democrat running against yet another Obama White House Democrat favorite that he was offered yet more jobs to abandon his inconvenient electoral effort have raised the stakes in this evolving midterm election year.

Already we know that Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak was offered an administration job if he'd self-destruct his primary challenge of Sen. Arlen "Remind Me Again, What Party Am I In Today?" Specter.

Surprisingly, a thorough White House probe of itself found no improprieties in what it called several unpaid-job discussions between Sestak and a secret emissary we'll call Bill Clinton.

Alas, they didn't get their stories straight because Sestak says one conversation occurred with....

...the famous spouse of a federal employee and Obama's minions say several chats were had.

But in the one-party world of Chicago politics that produced the Obama-Emanuel-Jarrett-Axelrod Oval Office cabal, these are meant to be overlooked as the kind of routine, midweek political arrangements that they are back home on Dearborn Street. Seriously, who wouldn't take care of their faux friends in this rough-and-tumble world? It's only taxpayer money.

Now comes Colorado's former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (see photo right), who like everyone else in the contemporary American political world can read the tea leaves prophesying an autumn Armageddon for incumbents.
Colorado Democrat Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff

So Romanoff spots Obama's melting political clout and defies his party chief to challenge Colorado's incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet in the Aug. 10 Senate primary.

Bennet was handed the Senate job by Gov. Bill Ritter when Ken Salazar was handed the Interior Cabinet job by Obama in anticipation of his exceptional handling of the ongoing Gulf oil spill. You're doing a fine job, Kenny.

Colorado's Bennet like numerous doomed Democrats this year voted to pass Obama's healthcare bill, which only 61% of Colorado voters now want repealed.

The defiant Romanoff -- hey, it worked for Sestak -- says he had three possible jobs dangled before him if he quit the Bennet challenge courtesy of Jim Messina, who already has an Obama job as Emanuel's deputy.

A trio of suggested, possible, maybe, who-knows, it-might-be-arranged jobs for Romanoff may not actually matter much because Romanoff turned them down and right now former Lieut. Gov. Jane Norton, a Republican, is beating either of them in recent Rasmussen Reports polls.

Does anyone else notice an emerging pattern of Obama job-handing here that's creating state-level political chaos for his Democratic party? In December the Really Good Talker campaigned for Martha Coakley's  Senate bid in Massachusetts and helped send Republican Scott Brown to the chamber, blowing the Democrats' 60-seat majority..

Now, Democrats could well lose Salazar's once-safe Senate seat on Nov. 2, a key part of the party's once-promising inroads into the Republican Rockies.

In 2009, Obama would have vacated the New Mexico governor's chair by his attempted appointment of Gov. Bill Richardson as Commerce secretary as payback for that timely primary endorsement. But Bill withdrew under an investigative cloud.

However, Obama's 2009 man-caused nomination of Janet Napolitano as head of Homeland Security did hand the Arizona governorship to Republican Jan Brewer.

Her signing and vigorous championing of that state's new illegal immigrant legislation has made Brewer an overnight national conservative hero, united 82% of Americans against a proposed boycott of Arizona, virtually guaranteed her come-from-behind election in November and shone a brilliantly embarrassing klieg light on the feds' ongoing inability to even secure a border with Mexico, let alone one between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

After initially shunning her outreach, Obama has found time in between vacations for a White House meeting with Brewer this afternoon. It didn't work on Joe Biden, but maybe Obama will offer Brewer some kind of administration job to shut up.

Hello Shadow.  I see you still live in darkness.  I am amused, however, with your last post.

Shadow apparently finds the recent military record discrepancies/corrections of Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat Richard Blumenthal to be of equal significance/importance.

Thanks...that IS amusing!

We'll Ease Suffering By Raising Energy Bills    [Iain Murray]

That, in a nutshell, was the point of the speech.  For all the talk about an independent third party adjudicating compensation claims (we have one of those, it's called the Court) and regulating companies (by making them even more dependent on government for favors), the oil spill is simply an excuse to kick-start a stalled policy.  He admitted that no one knows how to replace oil, but his chosen policy vehicle is more expensive energy.  That's really going to help the victims of the second man-made disaster, the people put out of work by his drilling ban. This is the day that President Obama opened his second front in his war on the middle class.  He'd already succeeded in his plan to raise their health-care costs.  Now he's going to raise their energy costs, which will be far more dangerous, because energy costs affect everything else — food costs, household goods costs and, yes, health care costs too.  This amounts to a sacrifice to angry gods, as Bob Nelson pointed out last week.  It's the people who are going to get really angry, though.

But here's the real kicker. Tomorrow he's going to meet with the people who stand to benefit most from raised energy prices — BP, whose policy goal this idea has been for years.  You couldn't make it up.

"It's a great moment. I'm proud to have been here," said a teary-eyed Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), who as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee led the effort in the Senate.

Arizona Senator Kyl Confirms His State is on the Mexico Border
By Jon Byman

MILWAUKEE - Arizona Senator Jon Kyl has confirmed, Arizona is, in fact, on the border with Mexico.

Kyl sent Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy West a letter in which he says, "You will be interested to learn that Arizona does indeed share a border with Mexico.  I have enclosed a map for your convenience."

Kyl goes on to urge West to, "actually read the Arizona law before forming an opinion about it."

West appeared confused about Arizona's location during debate about a measure that would have had the county boycott the state over its controversial new immigration law.  She said, "If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this.  But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border."

Supervisor West is currently Chairwoman of the Health and Human Needs Committee and is a member of the Economic & Community Development and Finance & Audit Committees. Active in her community, Supervisor West was named the 2004 Hispanic Woman of the Year by UMOS, Inc. A committed believer in community service, Supervisor West volunteers for UMOS, Inc. and Mexican Fiesta and serves as a mentor at Notre Dame Middle School.

Subject: Illegal Aliens


You apparently have some uninformed people on your Board.  Unless you have lived with the constant problems the people of AZ have lived, your staff has no business talking about illegal aliens.
 
Our border is a war zone.  It has filtered up to all cities in our state.  The crime, drugs and warfare, shootings, drop houses with human beings being beaten, stripped of their clothes and possessions are rampant.  
 
Do not judge us for wanting to uphold FEDERAL LAW, by passing a STATE law that mirrors the FEDERAL law that the Federal Gov't REFUSES to uphold.  We do so out of self-preservation of our way of life and safely.
 
Get rid of Peggy West.   Is she stupid or what?  I can't believe how you can even take her seriously after her comment about AZ not being a border state.  Surely there are more qualified candidates you can campaign for on your board.

To Protest Hiring of Nonunion Help, Union Hires Nonunion Pickets
Jobless Recruits Get Minimum Wage 'To March Around and Sound Off'

By JENNIFER LEVITZ

WASHINGTON—Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, is looking for work.

Fortunately for him, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor.

"For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them come out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing.

So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Mr. Raye says he's grateful for the work, even though he's not sure why he's doing it. "I could care less," he says. "I am being paid to march around and sound off."

Cartoon Ridicules Combat-Wounded Veteran Congressional Candidate, and Backfires
by James M. Simpson

A few months back I wrote a story about Veterans for Congress, focusing in particular on Marine Gunnery Sgt. Nick Popaditch, who is running for Congress in San Diego’s 51st district. “Gunny Pop” as he was affectionately known in the Corps, was grievously wounded in the first battle for Fallujah, Iraq, when he was hit in the head by an enemy RPG. Medically retired, he lost one eye and retains 8 percent use in his second eye, only because of the medical staff’s heroic efforts and Nick’s indomitable spirit.



Nick earned the Silver Star for his battlefield bravery and innovation. Nick is also widely recognized as the Cigar Marine, who sat atop his M-1 Abrahams tank triumphantly smoking a cigar while members of his unit helped topple Saddam’s statute when the Marines liberated Baghdad in 2003. He wrote a book about his experiences, Once A Marine, which made the Commandant of the Marine Corps recommended professional reading list for all ranks, won The Military-Writers Book of the Year for 2009, and was a national book club selection.

Contrast this with his Democrat opponent, Bob Filner. One of the most radical leftists in the House of Representatives, Filner is spawn of Joe Filner, one time head of the Pittsburg, PA, Communist Party. (NOTE: thanks go to Trevor Loudon for the Filner profiles, among thousands of entries Loudon has put together for his seminal encyclopedia of the Left, KeyWiki. Check it out!)

The nuts don’t fall far from the tree. A longtime member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Filner has close ties the Democratic Socialists of America. He has been staining the halls of Congress since 1992, and has been foursquare behind the Obama deliberate trainwreck agenda since his fellow socialist was elected President.

Summers: That Was Then, This Is Now

By Jonathan Weisman

National Economic Council Director Larry Summers this morning was forced to defend his current economic positions against the stated positions of … Larry Summers.

Appearing on MSNBC’s Daily Rundown, Summers was confronted with a paper on unemployment that he wrote as a professor at Harvard University. In it, he echoed arguments made by Republicans against extending unemployment insurance, arguments that have been mocked by President Barack Obama.

    To fully understand unemployment, we must consider the causes of recorded long-term unemployment. Empirical evidence shows that two causes are welfare payments and unemployment insurance. These government assistance programs contribute to long-term unemployment in two ways.

Sen. Kerry docks yacht in Rhode Island, saving $500K

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, saving roughly $500,000 in Bay State taxes.

The Boston Herald reported Friday the 76-foot, New Zealand-built sloop has two cabins, a pilot house fitted with a wet bar and cold wine storage. It is owned by a limited liability corporation in Pittsburgh, the longtime home of Kerry's wife, philanthropist Teresa Heinz Kerry.

If the boat were docked at the couple's summer vacation home on Nantucket, they would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. They'd also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.

Instead, Rhode Island has repealed those taxes.

A Kerry spokesman says the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard not for tax reasons, but "for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

Political shipwreck
Boat builders: John Kerry could have created jobs in U.S.
Jessica Fargen

New England boat builders say shame on Sen. John Kerry for buying a $7 million New Zealand-built luxury yacht while local ship makers struggle to find work.

“Darn, that would have been a wonderful job for a Maine builder,” said Jane Wellehan, president of the trade group Maine Built Boats. “If someone comes to build a $7 million boat that would employ half the population of some towns for a year or two. Boat building is such a critical component of our coastal economy.”

Gregory Egan, who owns the Crosby Yacht Yard in Osterville, said Bay State boat builders must feel cut adrift by Kerry as well.

Education secretary urged his employees to go to Sharpton's rally
By: Lisa Gartner
Examiner Staff Writer

President Obama's top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.

"ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the 'Reclaim the Dream' rally and march," began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.

Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963.

The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan's request.

Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute.
