Sequester theater: Petulant Obama dishes out punishment by canceling WH tours

http://twitter.com/#!/charlescwcooke/status/309020822209708032

But that’s exactly what this president is doing. Not having gotten its fill of fear-mongering, the White House has announced that all public tours are being canceled. Why? Take a wild guess.

Wow. White House shuts down all public tours, blames #Sequester. twitter.com/sarahrozier/st…

This is not a serious president: ccwc.me/WMN0zG

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013

Oh, the president’s serious, all right. Serious about acting like a petulant child:

The Obama admin is punishing the plebes by not allowing them to gaze upon the castle… um White House. #tcot

Temper tantrum: When a brat doesn’t get what he / she wants. See also, Obama canceling White House tours over the sequester. #tcot #p2

“I am not a dictator,” said the WH occupant who canceled tours of the “People’s House.”

@cleentonn If he had convinced the public that the sequester was terrible then he wouldn’t need to play stunts like this, would he?

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013

I remember disinviting people who were coming over and blocking access to my house when I didn’t get what I wanted. I was six years old.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013

Obama truly IS the boy-tyrant. Now he’s closing tours of the WH. What a f*cking nasty sociopath he is. Every little bit to piss off public..

— Annie (@bloodless_coup) March 5, 2013

What a sad, petty, pathetic person the President of the United States is.

— LilMissErinGoBragh (@LilMissRightie) March 5, 2013

So, if we’ve got this straight, with America supposedly teetering on the precipice of a full-blown sequesterpocalypse, why is the White House’s first move to cancel tours?

@cleentonn This is not an “example” of anything other than the president’s desperation to make it look as if the sequester is apocalyptic.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013

Aren’t there larger, more pressing corners that could be cut?

Because there was literally nothing else left to cut ==> White House cancels tours, citing sequester washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-pol…

Conservatives are coming up with plenty of of unnecessary expenses that should go under the knife:

Notice that it was White House tours that went, not one less Air Force One trip.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) March 5, 2013

By closing WH to tours,I assume he’s announcing that there will be no Air Force 1 golf trips either. #priorities

— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) March 5, 2013

Obamas can take multi-million $ vacations, but we can’t afford WH tours now? GUFFAW: Sequester pain WH cancels tours wtim.es/102tbRN

— Old Ez (@Ezra__Pound) March 5, 2013

As Obama sends 450M to Muslim brotherhood his sequester tantrum goes into overdrive –cancels White House public tours zite.to/Wtavx1

— Brian Smith (@gibletjones) March 5, 2013

I don’t know the exact numbers, but I bet that a single Air Force One trip to play golf somewhere will pay for a LOT of public WH tours.

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) March 5, 2013

Where is Michelle Obama’s next vacation? She planning to cut any of those lavish affairs?

— Melissa Clouthier (@MelissaTweets) March 5, 2013

So, is the White House executive chef being furloughed? No? Just the tours, then? Okay, got it.

— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) March 5, 2013

@michellemalkin @chadpergram Can we shut down #Congress because of #sequestration? That would be progress.

— Michael Hirsh (@mrhirsh) March 5, 2013

But let him be clear: it’s the Republicans who are sensationalizing sequestration.

#SequesterTheater MT @whitehouse Rs choose tax breaks for millionaires over meals for seniors: wh.gov/sequester twitter.com/whitehouse/sta…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 5, 2013

Ugh. This is sequester theater, pure and simple.

And, guy who fancies himself a hero for the working man, doesn’t the president realize that canceling tours will only benefit the wealthy?

WH tours cancelled due to sequestration. No word on the OFA quarterly meetings for $500K donors.

— Nick Confessore (@nickconfessore) March 5, 2013

BO shuts down tours to play let’s punish tourists who want to see WH (supposedly ppl’s house) unless they have $500,000 for access.

— I Dare Say (@susanfae) March 5, 2013

Now that free WH tours are closed, the *only* way for citizens to visit the president is to cut #OFA a check for $500K. #OFAsubsidy

— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) March 5, 2013

The other 99 percent of us are totally getting the shaft:

Without White House and Capitol tours, you’ll have to imagine your money being wasted instead of seeing it firsthand.

— Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) March 5, 2013

Darn.

Update:

In reaction to WH tour memo, John Hart, spox for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says WH has “jumped the sharquester.”

Spike Lee’s retweet of George Zimmerman’s ‘address’ making rounds again

http://twitter.com/#!/parva_x/status/355420907470196736

The prosecution has been trying its best to portray George Zimmerman as an out-of-control “wannabe cop,” which has again inspired some wannabe vigilantes to pass around Zimmerman’s home address on Twitter coupled with thinly veiled threats. Making a bad situation worse is that they’re still passing around the wrong address, which director Spike Lee twice retweeted to hundreds of thousands of followers last spring.

That little mixup led to an elderly couple being driven from their home. Lee eventually settled with the couple, but that hasn’t made the errant tweet disappear, and as Breitbart.com points out, with a verdict in the case imminent, the address is being distributed again, and Sanford police have stepped up patrols around the house.

Here’s a screenshot of the most recent tweets with the address redacted, but with the ridiculous #Justice hashtag left intact.

That settlement likely frees Lee from commenting further on the mistake which might have put the lives of the couple in danger. Did it free his conscience as well?

Panic Attacks Workbook

With methods and exercises based on the author’s extensive clinical experience, Panic Attacks Workbook helps people understand the true nature of their panic attacks. It demonstrates the vicious cycle of habitual responses that lead to debilitating attacks, teaches how to halt this self-destructive process, and guides people along a proven path that promotes recovery. David Carbonell outlines such cognitive behavioral methods as diaphragmatic breathing, progressive exposure, desensitization, relaxation, keeping a panic diary, and much more. He shows how to cultivate a personal attitude that facilitates solutions rather than placing blame. He clearly explains how the very nature of panic leads people into a chronic cycle of anticipation, panic, and helplessness, and details how to overcome this pattern with innovative responses and an attitude of acceptance. Charts, worksheets, and program outlines help point the way through the workbook and on to recovery.

Overcoming Night Eating Syndrome

The statistics are powerful and alarming: Perhaps as many as 6 million Americans suffer from night eating syndrome, or NES, a newly identified eating disorder which describes behavior patterns in which an individual obsessively consumes more than half of his or her daily caloric intake after eight o’clock in the evening. More significant is the further finding that more than 33 percent of morbidly obese individuals, persons who are 100 or more pounds overweight, are affected by this disorder. Experts agree that NES shares characteristics of not only eating disorders but also sleep and mood disorders. Sufferers tend to exhibit symptoms such as feelings of anxiety and guilt, insomnia, or interrupted sleep. Typical NES behaviors include absent appetite during the day, a consistent pattern of eating more food after dinner than during the meal itself, and recurrent episodes of waking and eating throughout the night. This book offers a step-by-step strategy for managing and overcoming this disorder. From this book, you will first learn to identify the signs of NES, and then use journaling exercises to discover what automatic thoughts surround your night eating. Having identified the problematic behaviors, you’íll find out how to break theses patterns with healthier food choices, more structured mealtimes, and a series of relaxation and visualization techniques.

The Brain That Changes Itself

An astonishing new scientific discovery called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the adult human brain is fixed and unchanging. It is, instead, able to change its own structure and function, even into old age. Psychiatrist and rersearcher Norman Doidge, M.D., travelled around the United States to meet the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity, and the people whose lives they’ve transformed — people whose mental limitations or brain damage were previously seen as unalterable, and whose conditions had long been dismissed as hopeless. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole; a woman labeled retarded who cured her deficits with brain exercises and now cures those of others; blind people who learn to see; learning disorders cured; IQs raised; ageing brains rejuvenated; stroke patients recovering their faculties; children with cerebral palsy learning to move more gracefully; entrenched depression and anxiety disappearing; and lifelong character traits changed. Doidge takes us onto terrain that might seem fantastic. We learn that our thoughts can switch our genes on and off, altering our brain anatomy. We learn how people of average intelligence can, with brain exercises, improve their cognition and perception, develop muscle strength, or learn to play a musical instrument — simply by imagining doing so. Using personal stories from the heart of this neuroplasticity revolution, Dr Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.
