Democrats need a spine to stand up to tea party
◼ Democrats have been their usual hapless, communicatively-challenged selves, the congressional equivalent of the kid in school who walks around all day with “Kick Me” taped to his back, then wonders why people keep kicking him. - Leonard Pitts Jr./Miami Herald
I am pleased to report the sighting of an artifact so rarely seen among Democrats that it has become the stuff of legend and conjecture, like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. It is called a spine.
Said spine was briefly glimpsed a little over a week ago at a “jobs summit” in Inglewood, Calif. in the person of Rep. Maxine Waters. “I’m not afraid of anybody,” the California Democrat said. “. . . And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to Hell.”

California’s Gardasil mandate moves forward
◼ Michelle Malkin: The California legislature is quietly pushing forward with a sweeping proposal to mandate that Gardasil — the vaccine marketed as a shield against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) — can be dispensed by the state to children as young as 12 without the permission of their parents.
...the legislation had been voted out of the state Senate Appropriations Committee by 6-3. There were no witnesses or testimony at the hearing. The bill, AB 499, had previously been suspended over cost concerns. Now, it is expected to head quickly to the Senate floor for a full vote this week and supporters believe Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown will sign it.

Gallup: Perry Now Leads Bachmann, Romney by 21 Points Among Tea Party Supporters
◼ These results are based on an Aug. 17-21 Gallup poll, which showed Perry overtaking Romney as the front-runner for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination among all Republicans nationwide. - CNS News

In California: Contempt for Voters in Senate Move on Amazon Tax
◼ The maneuver in the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday to undercut the referendum on the Amazon tax legislation is a glaring example of the contempt with which legislators hold the people's right of initiative and referendum. - Joel Fox at Fox & Hounds
...The process is an integral part of the checks and balances system giving the people control over their government. Clearly, some legislators don't want the voters making decisions at the ballot box on actions taken by the legislature.
Amazon.com challenged a new law that requires online retailers to collect sales tax. A referendum was filed to put the issue before the voters. According to the Los Angeles Times, signature gatherers "already are off the streets, having met their goal well before the Sept. 27 deadline for turning in completed petitions."
To foil this process, Senator Loni Hancock pulled what amounts to a parliamentary parlor trick by gutting a bill and substituting language similar to the wording in the original tax law calling the revised bill an "urgency" measure. The constitution declares that an urgency measure, which requires a two-thirds vote to pass, is immune to a referendum effort.

Every Single One: The Politicized Hiring of Eric Holder’s Compliance Section
◼ For several weeks, PJMedia has been publishing a series of articles on the ideological and partisan histories of attorney hires into the career civil service ranks of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division in the Obama administration. The articles have demonstrated the political and ideological litmus test being employed by those entrusted with hiring in the Division. - J. Christian Adams/Pajamas Media
Every single new attorney hired has a history thick with left-wing activism.

Obama is saying that the downgrade resulted because the Tea Party had the temerity to debate and question his policies. See, it was a Tea Party downgrade, according to the Democrats' silly rhetoric. It wasn't Obama's record smashing national debt and first-time-ever trillion dollar plus deficits every year in office that caused the debt downgrade.

T-Phobia
◼ A Gallup poll now has Tea Party supporters outnumbering the whole Looney Left in the USA. And Stan Greenberg, Bill Clinton's pollster, just wrote that Obama better join the Tea Party if he wants to win next year. - James Lewis at American Thinker
Tea Partiers of the World, Unite! A New Spirit is Sweeping Over America!....
Or at least, Tea Party Phobia seems to be upsetting political tummies all over DC.
The other week Veep Joe Biden and Senator Kerry were heard shrieking like a pair of old steam whistles. Joe called the Moms and Pops of the Tea Party "terrorists" --- maybe because they inspire terror in Joe when he sobers up enough to read the latest Gallup poll.
As for Kerry, ole' John told Fox News the media weren't supposed to give equal time to the Tea Party.

Ya think maybe those poll numbers have them worried?
Could T-Phobia be spreading?... lots more, and lots of links at the link.

Planning Commission: Marijuana Land Use Ordinance.
There is a planning commission meeting on August 18, 2011, beginning at 6 p.m. This Thursday. On the agenda is Marijuana Land Use Ordinance.
This is Item #1 on the agenda.
The staff recommendation: "Open the public hearing, receive the staff report, supplemental information & public testimony; Deliberate on proposed ordinance revisions and either: 1) continue hearing to date certain and instruct Planning staff as to additional changes requested; or 2) adopt a motion to make the required findings and approve the amendments (with or without changes) and forward the amendments to the Board of Supervisors for their consideration and possible adoption."
One of the items that was holding up the establishment of a "medical" marijuana dispensary in our neighborhood. FYI one is being planned in the Glendale area --location to be next to Murphy's Market in the old mini mart location. The public has not been noticed on this yet....so far only the agencies have been notified on this.

Obama Conversation With Tea Partier Gets Heated
◼ President Obama got into a heated back-and-forth Monday with a Tea Party activist who demanded to know at the end of a town hall meeting here whether Vice President Biden had called Tea Partiers “terrorists” during the debt ceiling debate on Capitol Hill. - FOX
Obama did say he would discuss the matter further with Rhodes, founder of the Iowa Tea Party, after the event. And the duo was spotted in an animated conversation a few moments later.
In an interview later with Fox News, Rhodes claimed that the president had insisted that Biden had not made the original comment.
“He just denied it. He said the vice president didn't make any of those assertions,” Rhodes said. “If he doesn’t want to even admit what was on TV nationally -- all over the place -- then how can you have a conversation?”
Rhodes added that Obama brushed him aside. “Then he said, ‘We can't have a conversation because you're saying I called you a terrorist,’” recalled Rhodes. “The fact is it demonstrates the deep divide that he is unwilling to negotiate without going after the other side. The whole day was about going after Republicans and talking about how unreasonable they are.”

John Kerry and the ‘Tea Party Downgrade’
◼ The “Tea Party downgrade” memo has been successfully circulated. - Michelle Malkin
First up today is John Kerry. It’s some kind of hilarious to watch a big spending, pro bloated government liberal try to come across like a life-long hawk on cutting deficits, shrinking government and tackling the debt problem — if only his hands weren’t tied by those darned anti spending cuts Tea Partiers...

Harry Reid: Yep… That Tea Party’s Going Away Any Day Now…
◼ The days of the Tea Party’s influence on American politics are numbered, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said this weekend. - Michelle Malkin
...somewhat ironically, that if Harry Reid wants to help fast-track a Tea Party breakup, the greatest single contribution he could make would be to resign his Senate seat.
There does seem something very circular about CNN, CBS and NY Times polling showing an increase in negative views of the Tea Party
◼ Report – CNN, CBS and NY Times polls show CNN, CBS and NY Times anti-Tea Party strategy working - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
The mainstream media spends two years calling the Tea Party movement racist, extremist, sexist, terrorist, and hostage takers, and then acts as if negative polling results reflect something wrong with the Tea Party movement rather than their own biased reporting.
