I esp like George Soros as Blofeld….
How could George Soros be in the ACORN volcano when he’s actually funding the entire Colorado blogosphere?

of the progressive blogosphere through OSI.
See http://www.osi.org/liberate_Colorado/

Damn those Canadians!
This can only mean that they’re trying to take over America through a single-payer system by unleashing their swine flu pandemic (obviously developed in the Soros’s clandestine volcano laboratory).
Or there’s a typo in Barron’s URL.

that I was shooting from the hip. Justifiably.
I thought that the site for his Open Society Institute was as shown above. Nope.
http://www.soros.org instead.
Having had a proposal rejected with vigor by that crowd, I haven’t kept in touch.
In 2002, the OSI was bragging about their investments in opening up Iraqi society. Curious, I examined spreadsheets and reports and found out that what they were referring to was an Arabic language radio broadcast from Prague, aimed in the general direction of the Middle East. They spent something like $80,000 a year on that, and imagined they were doing something for the benefit of the Iraqi people.
Upon contacting them about a new initiative that some experts I networked with over the intertubes network had developed, I learned that,
#1, whatever they funded, they would get 100% of the credit for, I couldn’t even note it on my CV; and
#2, yes, they wanted to make Iraqi society more open, but no, their max funding was $20,000 per project.
Old George Soros claims a lot of credit for the Orange Revolution in Kiev and such, but I think the main thing OSI does is proclaim what a swell guy George is.
The one area where he really does some good, helping the Roma, he’s relatively quiet about.

I know it is McInnis
launchreboottour, but it amazes me that no one even bothers to consider if claims are true:As I noted in a recent diary, in New York State the oil and gas industry claims that 1) New York has the strongest regulations and 2) that even stronger–are far more reaching than CO’s–rules won’t discourage drilling.
Do reporters have Google? I know times are tough in print media, but it is a free service.

And I follow New Jersey politics to the extent that one can from 2,000 miles away, relying only on the internet.
Corzine is in deep doodoo.
And then some.
Their plan for Colorado? As Gary Harmon reports: “Review”, “examine” and “seek” is all they can come up with. Still, absolutely no concrete ideas or any viable plan for economic recovery.
“It would seem that to be truly venomous and pointedly nasty takes a professional, and for that locally we have the Dean of Mean, Gary Harmon. Gary reminds me of a sort of half-baked H.L. Mencken in reverse, but I’ll digress from exploring that concept further. I prefer to show respect for the dead.” -John Linko
Flag! Coaches Brawl Over Girl Playing Youth Football
This is wrong on two levels. First, what are parents doing getting in a fight over this? Great example for their kids.
Second, because of some parents “belief system” girls can’t play? And people act like this is OK? What if their belief system was that blacks can’t play?
we post videos of cats flushing the toilet? That’s just wrong on so many levels.
Why is is up to other teams to accommodate 19th century thinking?

isn’t that more 20th Century ?
