Faux News Retractions for Billo

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/fox-news-forced-to-backtrack-again-over-bill-oreillys-reporting-claims/

snip:

Fox News has admitted, in answer to questions from the Washington Post , that host Bill O’Reilly did not witness any bombings in Northern Ireland or murders in El Salvador. The network said he saw only photographs of such atrocities.

In other findings, Billo was not at Gettysburg, Iwo Jima, the founding of the Beatles, or the explosion of the Hindenburg. Oh the humanity, he only saw pictures of those too.

President Obama, Go Ahead and Say It, Your True Enemy are the Republicans

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/02/barack_obama_should_name_the_enemy_it_s_the_republican_party.html

snip:

Again and again, Republicans demand to know why President Obama won’t name the enemy. They say he’s too forgiving, too afraid of ideological conflict, too reluctant to wage all-out war, too eager to find people of good will on the other side.

Maybe they’re right. Maybe he should come out and say it: The GOP is trying to destroy him.

From you lie, to blocking stimulus money to invigorate the economy, to shutting down the government, to trying to kill the ACA, to now, defunding DHS. Throughout the President's two terms the true, implacable, unrelenting, ruthless enemy have been the Republicans.

In further news, Mcturtle claims credit for: the sun coming up, tidal movement, discovery of the Beatles, creating the Ipod, and recommending Groucho Marx wear a grease paint mustache.

Shrub 2 Jeb is his own man on foreign policy, but gets advice from, among others, Wolfowitiz

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/02/18/jeb-bush-considers-himself-lucky-to-have-family-that-shaped-americas-foreign-policy-from-the-oval-office/

snip:

CHICAGO — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is considering a 2016 presidential campaign, is seeking to distinguish his views on foreign policy from those of his father and brother, two former presidents.

But he's getting most of his ideas from nearly two dozen people, most of whom previously worked for George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush.

Cry Oh Crap, and let slip the dim bulbs of endless war.

Attention 43% Takers: S.N.A.P. needs changing

http://www.wsj.com/articles/republicans-eye-changes-to-food-stamp-program-1423692057

snip:

House Republicans are laying the groundwork for a revision of the food-stamps program after its sharp expansion during the recession.

The effort kicks off Feb. 25 when the House Agriculture Committee holds the first of several hearings scheduled this year on food stamps, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Committee Chairman Mike Conaway (R., Texas), who is leading the charge, said he wants to stay away from the type of party politics that can doom reforms before they are proposed. But as the son of a roughneck on oil rigs, he said he favors the kind of hard work that “built America,” suggesting any changes will lead to a smaller program and fewer recipients.

Maybe they should call it the "bootstrap" program because that's what families will be boiling to eat when the wing nuts are done.
