McCAIN--ROMNEY PLAYDATE; EU COMING APART AT FINANCIAL SEAMS

JOHN McCAIN has called in a BIG RINO hired gun to help push JD Hayworth and his conservative forces back. Mitt Romney will be stumping for McCain today in Mesa. (Greta and Sean were unavailable.) No word on whether or not Dr. Juan Hernandez will be attending this speech, but I'm sure he's somewhere close by. After all, Hernandez was McCain's liaison to the Hispanic community during the "so called" '08 Republican presidential campaign.

There isn't a conservative policy between these two faux republicans. McCain, however, is hoping there's enough dummies left in Arizona who don't realize that fact. VOTE for JD Hayworth in the August primary. *(Here's how the McCain-Romney campaign stop went.)

MORE GOOD NEWS coming out of Europe: Hungary is the next domino to fall in the great progressive experiment called the EU. When I say good news, I mean it. This is progressivism on parade, and it's falling apart. Of course, we'll suffer for it at some point but that's the way it has to be. This economic robbery can no longer be papered-over by the media. The sooner this is exposed, the better.

Prior to the market open this morning, the DOW, along with all major indicators, were diving for the bottom of the tank. (9am pst Dow down -222.)Fiscal woes in Europe (Hungary) have the markets in an uproar, with investors running for cover. Meanwhile, the job numbers for this week were posted--bad, but that isn't stopping Obama and Biden from giving a speech at a factory this morning, touting how the stimulus and jobs bills are kicking in with great success; hiring is taking place across the board in industry. OUR economic problems are finally over--we're on the road to recovery!! Yes!! One day these two criminals will share a jail cell.

California is our EU. I live here; I'm living it, personally. This state is on life support, approaching economic calamity and death. I say death because people will be dying as a result of cutbacks in services to the least powerful and influential. It's nearing "every man for himself" in some sectors. On the other hand, UNIONS--the real owners of this once great state--are doing just fine and all future prospects are looking up--Blue Sky, Baby!!

Again, the same goes for California as the EU: the sooner this progressive experiment is exposed, the better. Here in California, the same goes for the media as well: they can't hide the facts any longer. The game is over on progressive policies; it will be painful for a lot of folks but it's something we must go through in order to take back our state and nation.

NOISYROOM WILL HAVE more economic news listed in the financial links post.

MELANIE MORGAN has a variety of links--Chuck D. from the OC vs. Babs Boxer and much more.

EBERT, TWITTER AND ALCOHOL

Ebert uses Twitter to project his political opinions. Nothing new. His opinions are leftist leaning, of course, but I have no problem with him. And I have no problem with the author of this piece about Ebert, but I find it somewhat disturbing. Cocktails, anyone?

No men left in Washington? Doesn't look like it, Hillbuzz talks Palin... Liberal policies in Detroit have finally come home to roost... Chuck DeVore continues his polling advances, Mel Morgan lays it out... Gov Chris Chistie lights up a reporter like a Woolworth Christmas tree... Space Shuttle Atlantis' final launch today; Andrea Shea King was on the beach at Canaveral for a photo op... TMH points out a two-eleven in progress.

AROUND THE HORN--PALIN TO LIBERTY

Lots happening around the nation: In Chicago Sarah Palin spoke at the Rosemont, discussing Arizona's new law, Highland High School's canceled student trip, and some oil talk... Obama's words on SCOTUS noms are coming back to bite him, but what did you expect?... In California Mel Morgan explains why Chuck DeVore's polls and donations are on the rise... Hawaii gov signs new law allowing state agencies to ignore your request to see Obama's long-form birth records--makes one think there's something to this, after all... Noisyroom presents a decades old JBS speech; wants to know what's wrong with it--I couldn't find a thing... Florida's Andrea Shea King not only recognizes Liberty, she knows Liberty--she'll introduce you to her along with two other women vets of WWII.

MELANIE MORGAN: ALWAYS ON THE GO

Melanie Morgan at Searchlight, Nevada for the kickoff of the Tea Party Express III tour. Melanie had the honor of introducing governor Sarah Palin to a crowd of "dozens." (photo by Andrea Shea King)

After the TPX III tour hit the road, Melanie kept her blog readers well informed with frequent updates of the tour's progress. To show our appreciation, we featured Melanie in one of our daily reports, putting her in the front seat of the Reagan Blue Bus.

Over at Melanie's blog, she's writing about San Francisco's boycott of Arizona--BACKLASH! If it's a boycott SF wants, I guess a boycott they'll get.

What's a Chuck D from the OC? Well, according to Melanie it has something to do with the Tea Party, freeway billboards and conservative friends in Hollywood. It's true.

And Melanie's latest project: Warriors for Congress. You'll want to support this effort. Cat Moy partners with Melanie on it.
