"the bunker"
"At a time when China is announcing that they've got new capabilities to take out US aircraft carriers and surface ships, we're signaling that we're going to drop their numbers even further?

At a time when the number of threats is rising and countries like North Korea are openly flouting and ignoring UN resolutions by carrying out missile tests, we're canning airborne laser systems designed to take out those kinds of threats?

These are bad policy choices and the result of an Administration that would rather remake the US as a far weaker version of itself that is incapable of waging war overseas. After all, if you have an army but have no way of deploying it, you can't start wars (or finish them).

UPDATE:
Of course, if you've been paying attention to the Democratic party for the past decade, you'd know that they were looking to cut the military wherever possible. Now, they've got the knives out and are looking to carve up the capabilities at a time when our enemies are probing to see what we're made of."

bock has to get that money to pay off the unions and acorn from somewhere,i guess....

based on these draconian defense cuts,the one positive thing to come out of this is that our children may not be around to have to pay off the enormous debt this community activist is strapping to their backs...

Hate to burst your bubble, but Olbermann is just as much of a lying, self-serving, hypocrite as any of the other names on my list. I'll be back shortly with info on Olbermann lying about his Ivy League education. Truth is that he does not have one;)

NewsBusters
Hypocritical Olbermann Maligns Hume for Using 'Lunatic-Fringe' MRC The Media Research Center's annual "DisHonors Awards," held Thursday night, furnished MSNBC's Keith Olbermann with comments to ridicule, but his rants exposed his own hypocrisy. As Brit Hume accepted our "William F. Buckley Jr. Award for Media Excellence" he thanked the MRC for providing information he could use, leading Olbermann to denounce Hume at the top of Friday's Countdown: "Brit Hume's dumbfounding admission. He was fed a buffet of daily talking points by an ultra-conservative media site and quote 'we certainly made tremendous use of it.'"
As if Olbermann doesn't graze a "buffet of daily talking points" from an "ultra-liberal media site." The headline over a post earlier in the day on Media Matters' "County Fair" blog: "Accepting Buckley award, Fox's Hume thanked Media Research Center 'for the tremendous amount of material' they 'provided me for so many years when I was anchoring Special Report.'" Unlike Olbermann, however, Hume almost always credited the MRC so viewers were informed of his source.

Here you go, Sponge.




Fortunately, we have Keith Olbermann to point out that Rush Limbaugh did not accurately quote the preamble to the Constitution in his CPAC speech last weekend. I'm not sure what scam Olbermann imagined Rush was trying to put over on the American people by saying conservatives believed in the "preamble to the Constitution" and then quoting words from the Declaration of Independence -- but Olbermann put an end to that cruel deception!

These small-time opportunities to show off by correcting someone else's teeny-tiny mistakes are the lifeblood of Olbermann's MSNBC show, "Countdown." Olbermann is no more capable of not correcting Rep. Charlie Rangel when he said "inferred," but meant "implied," than an obsessive compulsive could pass a sink without washing his hands.

There is utterly no purpose to these lame "gotchas," except that Olbermann is so desperately insecure that he is willing to waste valuable airtime in order to convince other status-conscious idiots that he is, like, scary-smart.

Olbermann relentlessly attacked low-level Bush administration employee Monica Goodling for not going to a name-dropping college, saying -- approximately 1 million times -- that she got her law degree "by sending 100 box tops to Religious Lunatic University."

I would venture to say that the students at Goodling's law school at Regent University are far more impressive than those at the Cornell agriculture school -- the land-grant, non-Ivy League school Keith attended.

I wouldn't mention it, except that Olbermann savages anyone who didn't go to an impressive college. As it happens, he didn't go to an impressive college, either.

If you've ever watched any three nights of his show, you know that Olbermann went to Cornell. But he always forgets to mention that he went to the school that offers classes in milking and bovine management.

Indeed, Keith is constantly lying about his nonexistent "Ivy League" education, boasting to Playboy magazine, for example: "My Ivy League education taught me how to cut corners, skim books and take an idea and write 15 pages on it, and also how to work all day at the Cornell radio station and never actually go to class."

Except Keith didn't go to the Ivy League Cornell; he went to the Old MacDonald Cornell.

The real Cornell, the School of Arts and Sciences (average SAT: 1,325; acceptance rate: 1 in 6 applicants), is the only Ivy League school at Cornell and the only one that grants a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Keith went to an affiliated state college at Cornell, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (average SAT: about that of pulling guards at the University of South Carolina; acceptance rate: 1 of every 1.01 applicants).

Olbermann's incessant lying about having an "Ivy League education" when he went to the non-Ivy League ag school at Cornell would be like a graduate of the Yale locksmithing school boasting about being a "Yale man."

Among the graduates of the Ivy League Cornell are Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thomas Pynchon, Paul Wolfowitz, E.B. White, Sanford I. Weill, Floyd Abrams, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Ginsburg, Janet Reno, Henry Heimlich and Harold Bloom.

Graduates of the ag school include David LeNeveu of the Anaheim Ducks, Mitch Carefoot of the Phoenix RoadRunners, Darren Eliot, former professional hockey player, and Joe Nieuwendyk, multiple Stanley Cup winner.

One begins to understand why Harvard students threw a chicken on the ice during Cornell's famous rout of Harvard at a 1973 hockey game.

If you actually want to pursue a career related to agriculture, there is no better school than the Cornell ag school. I have nothing but admiration for the farmers and aspiring veterinarians at the ag school. They didn't go there just to have "Cornell" on their resumes.

In addition to the farmers, there are some smart kids who go to the ag school -- as there are at all state universities. But most people who majored in "communications" at an ag school don't act like Marshall Scholars or go around mocking graduates of Regent University Law School.

The sort of insecurity that would force you to always say "trebled" instead of "tripled" could only come from a communications major with massive status anxiety, like Keith. Without even looking it up, I am confident that Harvard, Yale and Princeton do not offer degrees in "communications." I know there is no "communications" major at the Ivy League Cornell.

"Communications" is a major, along with "recreation science," most commonly associated with linemen at USC. But at least the linemen can throw a football, which Keith cannot because his mother decided he was not physically robust enough to play outdoors as a child.

It may seem cruel to reveal the true college of someone who already wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat worried that he's a fraud. But I believe that by pointing out that Olbermann actually is a fraud, I am liberating him.

You may not realize it now, Keith, but you will look back on this day and say, "That was the best thing that ever happened to me!"

Finally, you can stop pretending that you went to the hard-to-get-into Cornell.

Now you won't have to quickly change the subject whenever people idly remark that they didn't know it was possible to major in "communications" at an Ivy League school.

No longer will you have to aggressively bring up Cornell when it has nothing to do with the conversation.

Relax, Keith. Now you can let people like you for you.

O?Reilly Reports Anti-Bush Lawyer?s Terror Connection as Olbermann Ignores
By Brad Wilmouth (Bio | Archive)
April 7, 2009 - 23:03 ET

On the Monday, March 30, The O?Reilly Factor, FNC host Bill O?Reilly slammed the New York Times for not reporting that an attorney in Spain, Gonzalo Boye, who is trying to have Bush administration members charged with war crimes in a Spanish court, himself has served eight years in prison for "collaborating with terrorists," referring to the Chile-based MIR, and the Spain-based ETA, both left-wing terrorist groups. During his "Talking Points Memo," O?Reilly related: "The action is being driven by a man named Gonzalo Boye, a radical left lawyer in Madrid. On Sunday, the New York Times reported Boye's beef, but did not report this: Boye served almost eight years in a Spanish prison for collaborating with terrorists. He was sentenced in 1996. Now, that seemed to be a mighty big omission by the New York Times, does it not?"

But on the same night?s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann informed his viewers of the possible indictment in Spain without mentioning Boye and his terrorist connections. Introducing a discussion with George Washington University Professor Jonathan Turley, Olbermann announced: "The first steps towards opening a criminal investigation against the Bush administration about torture is now under way, only it`s not by the U.S. government but by Spain. The New York Times reporting a Spanish court now building a case against six high-level Bush officials."

Steve Doocy Calls Out Keith Olbermann's Lies
By Justin McCarthy (Bio | Archive)
June 4, 2008 - 16:49 ET

"Fox and Friends" called out left wing anchor Keith Olbermann on his own lies. The co-hosts on the June 4 edition of "Fox and Friends" discussed the TV Newser story that NBC veteran Tim Russert is reportedly taking orders from Olbermann. Steve Doocy noted Olbermann?s rising in the ranks at NBC and also a blogging for the hard left site, "Daily Kos."

After Gretchen Carlson responded to Olbermann?s intelligence insult, Doocy noted Olbermann?s claim he does not go after public figure?s children, but named Doocy?s own son "Worst Person in the World." Doocy fumed "So next time you see Keith Olbermann on TV, just remember he is somebody who picks on people?s children. And he is a liar."

Olbermann also named Doocy?s son "Worst Person in the World," after issuing an apology for David Shuster?s Chelsea Clinton "pimped out" comment.

Olbermann Falsely Accuses Palin of Cutting Special Olympics Funds


As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann accused Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Tuesday of cutting in half her state's funding for the Special Olympics.

Not only is this categorically false, it appears likely Olbermann got this erroneous information from the far-left website ThinkProgress which NewsBusters has shown in the past to be a source for some of the "Countdown" host's material.

Here's what Olbermann said Tuesday (video and partial transcript follow, h/t Johnny Dollar):


Twice now in two days ? in Colorado, then today at Vienna, Ohio ? Governor Palin has again invoked ? that is the polite term ? her status as the mother of a special needs child and the role of advocate she wants to play for special needs kids. Yesterday, she said, "Ever since I took the chief executive?s job up north, I?ve pushed for more funding for students with special needs." Today the quote was, "I sought more funds for students with special needs."

Problem: As the chief executive up north, she vetoed $275,000, crossed it out, of the state funding of the Special Olympics. She cut the Special Olympics budget in half and is campaigning as an advocate for special needs kids. That?s pretty sick. Well, at least we do know which charity I should donate that hundred bucks to every time she lies about her record: the Alaska Special Olympics.

Now, here's what ThinkProgress reported Monday (emphasis added):

Campaigning in Colorado today, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) promised renewed attention to kids with special needs. She declared, ?Ever since I took the chief executive?s job up North I pushed for more funding for students with special needs,? and cited her own family?s experience with the issue. [...]

It?s a stretch to say she ?pushed? for any policy improvements. Though Palin did sign a law increasing special education funding in Alaska, ?she had no role whatsoever? in its development, according to the bill?s author, Rep. Mike Hawker (R). Moreover, as governor, Palin vetoed $275,000 in Special Olympics Alaska funds (Page 100, SB 221 with vetoes), slashing the organization?s operating budget in half.

Sadly, what's on display here is either a shocking ignorance concerning budgets, or a willful intent to deceive.

If you click on the link embedded above inside "Palin vetoed $275,000 in Special Olympics Alaska funds," what you find is the 2008 Alaska budget. What ThinkProgress and Olbermann are pointing to is an item on page 100 for "Special Olympics Alaska" with the number "550,000" lined out, and the number "275,000" written above it.

That DOES NOT mean this operating budget was cut in half. Instead, it means what was PROPOSED, or, as we'll see in a moment, what was ASKED for by Special Olympics Alaska at the beginning of the budget process was approved for half the initial request.

Yet, most importantly, the final approval represented an increase from the previous year.

As can be seen from the Alaska state budget for 2007 (PDF for SB 53 here, see page 34), the state spent $250,000 on Special Olympics Alaska that year. If you look at the 2006 budget (PDF for SB 231 here, see page 23), you will find the funds allocated for Special Olympics Alaska was also $250,000 under the previous governor.

As such, in her second year as governor, Sarah Palin increased spending on Special Olympics Alaska by 10 percent RATHER than slashing it the 50 percent Olbermann and Think Progress claimed.

This is supported by Sunday's article from KTUU, Alaska's NBC television affiliate (emphasis added):

While the Special Olympics did not want to make any comments about budget cuts, Channel 2 News looked into the governor's funding of the program.

Records show Palin actually increased their funding by $25,000. However, that amount is only half of what the program asked for.

To be sure, it is no surprise that ThinkProgress got this wrong, for as NewsBusters has chronicled on numerous occasions, this is just a leftwing shill.

However, for Olbermann to simply repeat what came from this propaganda outlet -- or wherever he got this nonsense from! -- without doing any fact-checking whatsover to confirm these allegations is disgraceful, and should act as further evidence to the heads of MSNBC and NBC News that this man has no business anchoring a program on a cable news network.

Beyond this, if either of these entities has any integrity, we should expect expeditious retractions concerning this matter. While we're at it, the New York Times should also issue a retraction for making this same mistake in its September 7 article.

Stay tuned.
