Sacramento Bee Asking You to Report Water-Wasters…
Folks, the Sacramento Bee is asking you to–if you see people watering on an improper day, watering during the heat of the day, and “particularly when the water flows onto nearby pavement.”
They are asking you to, “Take a digital picture …and upload here. Include a brief description of the date and time the photo was taken and where it was taken, including street address and nearest cross street.”
Now, if I can just be there when they are watering the Capitol lawn…
I sent an email to several Sacramento Bee elites, asking them why they want that information and what they will do with it. Read my email here.
More Rate Obama as “Failure” than Bush
Yes, it is true, ladies and gentlemen. 37% of people polled rate Obama as a Failure. That is compared to an August 2001 poll which put Bush at 32%.
51% of those polled feel the Obama Presidency has been a success; 56% for Bush.
Paula Abdul Not Returning to That Show I Didn’t Watch…
Yes, it is true. Paula Abdul is not coming back to American Idol next season…Oh well…Who cares?
I mean, with all the real problems in the world…like health care, Cap and Trade, Cash for Clunkers, flag@whitehouse.gov, etc. why focus on this…But, of course, CNN will…
Told you CNN would cover it!

Folks, this scares me; a lot.
Apparently there is a lot of “disinformation” regarding the health care system. And apparently, “Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”
They are asking you to turn in people. Folks, please. Turn me in!
Here is what you can tell them…
Matt Harrington of The Harrington Report thinks the best way to reform health care is:
Tort Reform
Matt Harrington of the Harrington Report thinks that:
- Obama wants to force private insurance companies out of business.
- Obama wants a single payer system.
- Obama means what he said; including wanting to eliminate private health insurance. Nothing was taken out of context.
- The only “misinformation” is coming from the White House.
- People should continue to attend town hall meetings and give their congressmen the what for, even if they are called extremists.
So, folks, if you are reading this, please, listen to our fearless leader, turn me in. Shoot an email over to “flag@whitehouse.gov” and tell them that I am propagating propaganda.
Click above to see my email, turning myself in.
Now, call me crazy for turning myself in…but I want to know what is going on here.
Did anyone flag themselves or someone they know? Let’s hear about it!
UPDATE: Lots of views on this post. I hope you’re all reporting me!
UPDATE: WH press secretary Robert Gibbs, when asked about the flag email and he said, “I cannot understand your question.
UPDATE: August 7, 2009:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the anger is brewing.
Nancy Pelosi accused the protesters of carrying swastikas.
They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare’
Folks, while you report me, please, send a note in reporting Nancy Pelosi too. No one is carrying any racist, hateful propaganda.
She can’t fight the facts, so she has to try discredit those who oppose her.
Also, Texas Senator John Cornyn accused the Obama White House of compiling an enemies list.
Effectively, that’s what flag@whitehouse.gov is.
Here is the transcript–from Whitehouse.gov, which I think is hilarious–of Robert Gibbs denying flag@whitehouse.gov.
Q Do you know how many e-mails have been sent to the flag at whitehouse.gov address? And, secondly, isn’t the White House required by law to save all correspondence it receives, so will it be informing individuals whose e-mails have been forwarded that they might want to have a chance to correct the historical record about the alleged fishiness of their e-mails?MR. GIBBS: I, for the life of me, didn’t understand your question.
Q Is the White House required to save the e-mails?
MR. GIBBS: Obviously, the National Archives documents correspondence with the White House.
Q So the people whose e-mails have been forwarded, they won’t be informed that their e-mails are being forwarded to the government?
MR. GIBBS: Maybe I’m missing something. I’m sure you’re hashing some nefarious plot, but I, for the life of me, can’t understand it.
Yes, sir.
And finally, O-man had this to say, “But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
UPDATE: August 10, 2009:
This sort of “community reporting project” is happening in my home city of Sacramento, California. They are asking folks to report their neighbors for wasting water.
For those that are out of the loop on Sacramento news and politics…apparently, we don’t have a whole lot of water…even though the river which runs behind my house has been pretty high…
UPDATE: August 12, 2009:
Deputy White House Press Secretary REFUSED to answer Megyn Kelly’s question: “Are you purging the email addresses?”
He absolutely refused to answer the question.
She then showed him up. Its too bad he’s even worse than Robert Gibbs…
So, I think it is safe to say that they are not going to delete the email addresses.
Bill Burton: “They are wearing swastikas.”

WIN.
In just under six months of Barack Obama’s presidency, the nation has undergone a dramatic–although not totally unexpected–shift in opinion and approval of Barry O and nowhere is this shift better evidenced than in the depictions of the man in artwork.
In a little over six months artists have gone from depicting Barack Obama like this:

New Video: Barack Obama Admits Government Healthcare Will Eliminate Private Insurance
Folks, this video includes Barack Obama saying he is for a “single payer system.” He also says that the government run “public option” will eliminate private insurance. The video also shows Jan Schakowsky bragging about tearing down the health insurance system–you may remember my post on that earlier this year…
Watch the explosive video here:

UPDATE: August 4, 2009:
The White House goes to the web to attack the Drudge Report.
Apparently the above video just cherry picked certain statements…but its pretty damning that he said that it will eliminate private insurance…
They’re in damage control here, folks.
Also, I think it is wrong that they are attacking the Drudge Report…calling it “misinformation.”
Oh, and, Happy Birthday, Barry!
