Obama Campaign To Court Super PAC Cash They Loathe
TPM 2012 - Within body of text:
The decision was handed out after new FEC filings revealed conservative groups outraised their Democratic counterparts by a four to one ratio. In recent weeks one Republican donor alone, Sheldon Adelson, has given over $10 million to a Super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich. Mitt Romney’s Super PAC raised $30 million in 2011. By contrast, a Democratic Super PAC founded by former Obama aide Bill Burton, Priorities USA, raised only $19 million.
Politico also has interesting piece on this too.

Jim Bakker’s Christian amusement park is now a post-...

In 1986, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Heritage USA was the third most-visited amusement park in the US, behind only Disney World and Disneyland. Now the park that once entertained millions of guests is falling to pieces, and looks more like the scene from a post-apocalyptic movie than a place for family fun.

Truth, lies and AfghanistanBy LT. COL. DANIEL L. DAVIS
I spent last year in Afghanistan, visiting and talking with U.S. troops and their Afghan partners. My duties with the Army’s Rapid Equipping Force took me into every significant area where our soldiers engage the enemy. Over the course of 12 months, I covered more than 9,000 miles and talked, traveled and patrolled with troops in Kandahar, Kunar, Ghazni, Khost, Paktika, Kunduz, Balkh, Nangarhar and other provinces.
What I saw bore no resemblance to rosy official statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground.

A Mortgage Tornado Warning, UnheededYEARS before the housing bust — before all those home loans turned sour and millions of Americans faced foreclosure — a wealthy businessman in Florida set out to blow the whistle on the mortgage game.His name is Nye Lavalle, and he first came to attention not in finance but in sports and advertising. He turned heads in marketing circles by correctly predicting that Nascar and figure skating would draw huge followings in the 1990s.But after losing a family home to foreclosure, under what he thought were fishy circumstances, Mr. Lavalle, founder of a consulting firm called the Sports Marketing Group, began a new life as a mortgage sleuth. In 2003, when home prices were flying high, he compiled a dossier of improprieties on one of the giants of the business, Fannie Mae.In hindsight, what he found looks like a blueprint of today’s foreclosure crisis. Even then, Mr. Lavalle discovered, some loan-servicing companies that worked for Fannie Mae routinely filed false foreclosure documents, not unlike the fraudulent paperwork that has since made “robo-signing” a household term. Even then, he found, the nation’s electronic mortgage registry was playing fast and loose with the law — something that courts have belatedly recognized, too.

You seriously put this on eBay? People will buy anything.
I have 0 bids, but I'm still hopeful. If it doesn't sell by Jan 2, I will discount.
Can I get the tattoo at half price?
For you, it's double.
These are very funny. well done, G. Just curious: Howd you come up with that bid for investors?
That's your homework assignment to determine
I don't get it. Which resolution will I get if I win the auction? I don't fall into any character in your sample offerings (yet).
And, seriously, 3 feedbacks?! You can't sell anything (well, maybe except a Dagblog Council seat) with that noob standing.
Speaking of pirate ships, have you seen how the People's Liberation Navy will harmonize the Somalian ocean?
Maybe that's why I haven't received any bids. Well don't just stand there. Start feedbacking.
And thanks for the video. Very inspiring. I was standing on my chair cheering wildly at the end. Go People's Liberation Navy!!!! (There's a sitcom in here somewhere.)
PS Why do you change your screen name to something equally cryptic every time you write in?
It's hard to strike a balance between myself and the great Khan.
BTW whenever I log in with OpenID using my wordpress account, I got this error:
