‘Dude, knock it off’: Ezra Klein celebrates WH’s awesome Syria ‘strategy’

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/377503409496403968

Nancy Pelosi isn’t the only one marveling at the Obama administration’s “strength” on Syria. Journo-doofus Ezra Klein has a swooning couch of his own:

Lockheed bows to administration, delays layoff notices until after election

http://twitter.com/#!/jaketapper/status/252954369883000833

ABC News is reporting that Lockheed Martin has dropped its plan to warn thousands of workers of impending layoffs, at least until after the election.

As Twitchy reported, the Office of Management and Budget on Friday sent revised guidance to defense contractors, saying that the government would pick up the legal costs incurred if they chose to ignore the WARN Act, which requires employers to give 60 days’ notice before a mass layoff or plant closing. In a statement, Lockheed acknowledged in a statement that the “allowable and recoverable” legal costs played a factor:

We will not issue sequestration-related WARN notices this year. The additional guidance offered important new information about the potential timing of DOD actions under sequestration, indicating that DOD anticipates no contract actions on or about 2 January, 2013, and that any action to adjust funding levels on contracts as a result of sequestration would likely not occur for several months after 2 Jan. The additional guidance further ensures that, if contract actions due to sequestration were to occur, our employees would be provided the protection of the WARN Act and that the costs of this protection would be allowable and recoverable.

@jaketapper that's illegal, isn't it?

@jaketapper Sen Graham says that is illegal. Is it?

Lockheed Martin has now agreed not 2send layoff notices, thus violating the WARN Act. The Obama Admin has successfully bribed them. IMPEACH.

Saints re-sign Marques Colston

http://twitter.com/#!/JayGlazer/status/179607872123047937

The NFL free agent market opens up today and we can already take one big name off the list of potential stars looking for a new home. The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a brand new 5-year-deal with one of Drew Brees’ favorite targets Marques Colston.

Brees has been publicly unsatisfied with the team’s choice to place the franchise tag on him. Maybe this move will help make him a little happier.

Colston off the market now. Really like his game. The other Saints WR though, Meachem, not as big of a fan.

— Alen Dumonjić (@Dumonjic_Alen) March 13, 2012

Colston re-ups for 5 years in NO. Best fit for both sides. Colston is a huge weapon over the middle for the Saints

Obama implies that Obamacare individual mandate is a tax

http://twitter.com/#!/mollyesque/status/223935788252020736

While discussing Obamacare’s individual mandate in Roanoke, Va., today, President Barack Obama said, “If you have health insurance, you’re not getting hit with a tax.” The obvious conclusion is that if you don’t have health insurance, you will get hit with a tax.

Oh Barack, now you’ve tossed Twitter into a tizzy:

Admits it is a tax, not a penalty? RT @mollyesque: Obama: "If you have health insurance, you're not getting hit with a tax."

— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) July 14, 2012

@BuzzFeedAndrew Sounded that way, didn't it?

— Molly Ball (@mollyesque) July 14, 2012

And the Obamabots are upset we’re even talking about such a thing! Leave King Barry alone!

@BuzzFeedAndrew I've never seen such a dumb word game consume our politics and media. Well, except maybe the "czars."

— Zachary Pleat (@zpleat) July 14, 2012

Meanwhile, conservatives add a little commentary on Obama’s rhetorical bumbling:

and if you don't…you are RT @mollyesque: Obama: "If you have health insurance, you're not getting hit with a tax."

— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) July 14, 2012

It must be tough for Obama to keep track of all the taxes he wishes he could impose on America  — he said as far back as 2009 that Obamacare was “absolutely not a tax increase.” Even the leftist dimwits at ThinkProgress can’t get it straight. And somewhere orbiting another universe, Donna Brazile has tried and failed to relabel it a “wellness penalty.”  Good luck with that.

Darn auto-correct! Rupert Murdoch: ‘Let’s compare species on Romney, Obama’

http://twitter.com/#!/rupertmurdoch/status/232112262977040384

That darn Autocorrect! Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter today and had an Autocorrect malfunction. Most sane people gave him a bit of good-natured ribbing.

Umm – what? “@rupertmurdoch: Romney, Obama. Some species to compare, please. Courage and honesty needed"

No conspiracy theorists yet, but the race-baiters sure came out of the woodwork.

@EddieRobson @Subintellectual @Exterminieren To me, second sentence mean need "courage/honesty" to compare Obama/Romney to other "species".

— James Cooray Smith (@thejimsmith) August 5, 2012

@EddieRobson I translated it as "It's PC gone mad I can't call POTUS a monkey". The sort of comment I'd expect from a chum of Boris.

— James Cooray Smith (@thejimsmith) August 5, 2012

Sigh. Racist leftists see everything as color. They are the ones who notice only color. Even typos are now race-related.

Others who choose bitterness over good-natured humor also weigh in.
