Mike, I haven't tried the netti pot yet.  I've heard good things about it though.  Hopefully we'll get some rain around here tomorrow night and that will help wash most of the creeping yellow crud out of the trees and off the cars (and everything else!).

Monte, I thought it was evident I was talking about the Legislative and Executive branches of government.  If not, I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough.

But as Maddow pointed out, in the previously unreleased portion of the video, the employee continues asking very detailed questions about O'Keefe's phone number and the exact time and location of the girls' arrival. "What's this ACORN guy going to do with all that information?" Maddow wondered. "Oh, he calls the police and reports what they've told him is going to be a crime."

According to Jerry Brown's report, "Immediately after the couple left, Vera telephoned his cousin, Detective Alejandro Hernandez, at the National City Police Department... [and said] that a self-admitted prostitute had been to the office and was discussing human smuggling."

"For that he ended up getting fired," Maddow noted wryly.

Wait isn't this the story Fox news crammed down the mouths of their followers? Yep, but will they demand better from Fox? nope, they will just gobble up more of the lies.

I haven't tried the netti pot yet.  I've heard good things about it though.

The netti pot is an amazing invention and I highly recommend it.  As a longtime lurker on this thread who has suffered tremendously with allergies in the past, may I offer some advice?  Go to your local farmer's market and buy local honey made on a local farm by local bees.  I have a tablespoon everyday on my oatmeal -- rather than sugar.  Aside from being better for you than sugar, local honey will help your body adjust to and tolerate the pollens blowing around in the air right now. 

I started this a year ago (aside from supplementing vitamin D) and this year, I've not suffered from allergies AT ALL.  Not a runny nose, not a leaky eye -- NOTHING compared to the past. 

I know with all this talk of health care it's easy to forget that there are natural remedies, cures and preventatives out there -- but there are.  Sure, we put a lot of pressure on our primary care physicians, but few people eat well and supplement nutrients correctly.  You don't HAVE to be sick.  If you eat well and regularly exercise, your chances of becoming sick diminish significantly.

It's your body -- take care of it.  That's the best way to show the government...

What???  Someone actually edited a video before releasing it?  Well knock me over with a feather!  I was wonder what all those people in the newsroom were doing in those little glass boxes watching the same piece of video over and over...

And anyone from MSNBC complaining about video editing should remember this. (Cropped video showing a gun at a anti Obama rally, MSNBC hosts talking about racism, but the person with the gun was black).

Did ya enjoy the latest Michael Moore epic?  Guess what?  It was edited too!  Oooooohhhh...scary!

As for the person that got fired, wasn't it ACORN that fired him?  Maybe if there was nothing done wrong, he wouldn't have been fired.

The ACORN debacle is what I referenced a few days ago - in each
area where that fraud played that stunt, criminal investigations were
brought against ACORN, and to date, each investigation has turned
out that the videos were fraud and ACORN was innocent.

Too late now, though. Damage is done, and ACORN, a group
dedicated to helping poor people register to vote and file taxes?
They've gone out of business.

Which is good for Rebuplicans, as the urban poor tend to vote
Democratic.

Mission accomplished!

In a just and fair world, O'Kieef, Brietbart and Hannity would all be
tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Instead, for evil
services to their lord, they very well could get cabinet positions in the
next Republican President's office.

Yet Hannity keeps his job.

Just saying... remember: both sides are bad so vote Republican.
