How the Smartphone Killed the Three-Day Weekend

How the Smartphone Killed the Three-Day Weekend:  

... A three-day weekend? We can barely get through three waking hours without working, new research shows. The average smartphone user checks his or her device 150 times per day, or about once every six minutes. Meanwhile, government data from 2011 says 35 percent of us work on weekends, and those who do average five hours of labor, often without compensation—or even a thank you. The other 65 percent were probably too busy to answer surveyors' questions. ...

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: A doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority.  

A person steals guns (which is against the law), shoots and kill his own mother (which is against the law), then transports the guns, loaded (which is against the law), and brings them on school property (which is against the law).  He breaks into a school (which is against the law). Discharges the weapons within city limits (which is against the law) murdering 26 people (which is against the law) and commits suicide (which is against the law).

Government solution...............pass another law.

Biden: 'Barack’s Learning to Speak Without a Teleprompter' | The Weekly Standard:

Biden is saying that Obama can't speak without a Teleprompter. Nothing new there, move along. But I wonder who puts what Obama is going to say 'on' the Teleprompter? And the libs used to claim that Bush was 'handled' by others. Couldn't prove that but we can sure prove that Obama isn't in charge.

Obama Lied About Why People Died

Bob Woodward: Obama Administration Didn’t Tell Truth on Benghazi (Video) | The Gateway Pundit: 

This morning on Meet the Press The Washington Post‘s Bob Woodward let loose on the Obama Administration:

“You look at the whole Benghazi thing. You look at those talking points and the initial draft by the CIA very explicitly said we know that activists who have ties to Al-Qaeda were involved in the attack. Then you see what comes out a couple of days later and there is no reference to this. This is a business where you have to tell the truth and that did not happen here.“

Obama Aide: 'Irrelevant Fact' Where President Was During Benghazi Attacks

Obama Aide: 'Irrelevant Fact' Where President Was During Benghazi Attacks | The Weekly Standard: 

Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer said it's an "irrelevant fact" where the president physically was during the Benghazi terror attack on September 11, 2012: 

Host Chris Wallace reminds Pfeiffer that Obama didn't really talk with Secretary Clinton, Secretary Panetta, or Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that night. "He was talking to his national security staff," Pfeiffer insists. 

Asked about whether the president entered the Situation Room, Pfeiffer says, "I don't remember what room the president was in on that night, and that's a largely irrelevant fact."
Pfeiffer then argues that Wallace's questions about the president's handling of the Benghazi terror attack are "offensive."

Judge Jeanine Pirro: "No One In This Administration Knows Anything"

Judge Jeanine Pirro: "No One In This Administration Knows Anything" | RealClearPolitics:  

Judge Jeanine Pirro gives her opening statement on "the search for truth" in an administration currently plagued by scandals. 

PIRRO: The president didn't know that the Inspector General was investigating his IRS for targeting political enemies. The president didn't know anything about his Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press phone records. The Attorney General didn't know anything about his department's subpoena of AP records. But then again, Holder's the one who didn't know anything about Fast & Furious either. 

And of course Hillary didn't know anything about the requests for help in Benghazi. And Joe Biden, well he just doesn't know anything about anything. So who's running the joint? I'm convinced my mom could do a better job. (Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro, May 18, 2013)

Krauthammer On IRS Commissioner: "You've Got To Be A Knave Or A Fool To Say That And An Idiot To Believe It"

Krauthammer On IRS Commissioner: "You've Got To Be A Knave Or A Fool To Say That And An Idiot To Believe It" | RealClearPolitics 

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: The testimony from [Steven] Miller comes under the category of 'how stupid do you think we are?' Here's a guy who said that the IRS openly discriminated against groups on the basis of their politics, but the action was not a political action. It was instead an attempt at efficiency. You've got to be a knave or a fool to say that and you have to be an idiot to believe it. It's simply a contradiction in terms. It's a matter of definition. It isn't even a matter of fact. 

So that, I mean -- he starts off way, way out there, and then he obviously was withholding the truth when he went before the committee before and said, 'well I answered the questions,' but he concealed from them the fact that this was going on. He knew it was a deep concern. He said nothing.  

And let me just add the last bit of news that we got -- how this was released by the IRS. This is peculiar and I'm not even sure I can understand why. But they decide knowing the IG report will come out this week, they decide a week ago to plant a question in a closed meeting of the ABA (American Bar Association) so that Lois Lerner answers it and gives an answer, assuming I think that it's going to leak out, but I'm not even sure I understand the logic of doing that. 
Why not just issue a press release, say it? But to do it in a sort of ridiculously devious way shows you an institution that is sort of given intrinsically to being untruthful and deceptive. (Special Report, March 17, 2013)

Benghazi Emails Directly Contradict White House Claims | The Weekly Standard: 

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches.

The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department. ...

The IRS wants YOU — to share everything - David Nather and Tarini Parti and Byron Tau - POLITICO.com: 

The Internal Revenue Service asked tea party groups to see donor rolls. 

It asked for printouts of Facebook posts. 

And it asked what books people were reading. 

A POLITICO review of documents from 11 tea party and conservative groups that the IRS scrutinized in 2012 shows the agency wanted to know everything — in some cases, it even seemed curious what members were thinking. The review included interviews with groups or their representatives from Hawaii, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas and elsewhere. ...

In scandal-plagued Washington, Dem lawmaker struggles to keep track of issues

In scandal-plagued Washington, lawmaker struggles to keep track of issues | The Ticket - Yahoo! News:  

With the rumbling of so much scandal ripping through Washington this week—woeful stories about Benghazi, the DOJ subpoena of journalists' phone records and the IRS unfairly targeting conservative groups—it's hard to keep track of all the terrible. 

Even lawmakers sometimes struggle. 

At Rep. Steny Hoyer's weekly meeting with reporters on Tuesday, the Maryland Democrat was asked if he was concerned about the DOJ seizing phone records from Associated Press journalists working in the House press gallery in the Capitol building.
Hoyer's answer was well-delivered: Articulate, clear, firm and precise. 

One problem: He responded to the wrong scandal.

Progressive [Liberal] Group: IRS Gave Us Conservative Groups' Confidential Docs

Progressive Group: IRS Gave Us Conservative Groups' Confidential Docs: 

The progressive-leaning [Liberal] investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive [Liberal] group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending. 

The commendable admission lends further evidence to the lengths the IRS went during an election cycle to silence tea party and limited government voices. 

ProPublica says the documents the IRS gave them were “not supposed to be made public”: ...

I checked both CNN and MSNDC and I didn't see much about this. I guess they're fine with illegal actions trying used to rig an election, (even though that's un-American) as long as it helped their guy.
