NBC: A vote on President Barack Obama’s nominee to lead the Defense Department, Supreme Court arguments about the future of a key provision of the Voting Rights Act and the expected onset of automatic spending cuts known as the “sequester” mean the nation’s capital is bracing for a politically consequential week ahead.
After a weeklong recess, Congress returns to Washington with a full agenda of business that needs handling. Topping that list is an item which lawmakers are arguably unlikely to resolve over the course of the week: the sequester, about $85 billion in automatic spending cuts set to begin taking effect on Friday, the first day of March.
….. The Senate is set to vote Tuesday on final confirmation for former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., to become the next defense secretary….
Also this week, the Supreme Court will hear potentially consequential oral arguments challenging a section of the historic Voting Right Acts. The justices will hear a challenge to a section of the law requiring nine states with a history of racial discrimination to seek Justice Department approval for any change in their voting procedures before those changes can take effect….

Washington Post: The White House has released state-by-state reports on some of the programs and services that would be impacted under the sequestration cuts that are scheduled to go into effect on March 1. Here is their breakdown by state and program - see here

Yippee Ki Yi Aye to all you O’s!!!!! It’s time to get movin’ and grovin’ on this great getting up day on planet TOD. Have you heard of the new utube sensation that’s sweeping the universe? It’s right up there with Gangman Style and it’s called the Harlem Shake. Just Google Harlem Shake for all of the variations from everywhere, by everybody.
For all you oldsters, this ain’t your mama’s Harlem Shake, not even close, so don’t go getting all nostalgic. Cookemom’s #2 took this phenomena to Pontevedra, Spain.
No trees were harmed during the filming of this video. And yes, I still love her. So much for that age old advice, ‘no matter where you go, you represent the family name’.
Nice trial balloon!
GM, CM!
i didn’t mean to do that, it was meant for a previous thread,. You know the one to log into word press, first thing. but as soon as i saw it, had to quickly regroup and post the one I meant to set up.
Well baby, it worked!
I had the best of teachers, doncha know.
wtg cookemom - I saw you standing by the door again - waiting to move & grove
Morning Cookemom, mooooooooorning everyone!
Thanks for posting the pics and video of Obama. I have trouble with living streaming on iPad. I’m not sure it has ever worked for me. Just not compatible. But you are so reliable to repost. I greatly appreciate it.
Good Morning! Good Morning! Good Monday Morning, or Afternoon, or Evening to you all! The Obamas are in the White House and we all have their backs, right?
Good morning all
Good morning Ms. Chips and TOD family, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Congrats cookemom on being first this lovely Monday morning.
GM Chipsticks, TOD. Congrats Cookemom………….Pulling an all-niter, writing research paper due in 2 hours!! Am delirous…..
Oh yikes!!!!! Good luck LP!
Chips did you ever get my DM?
Haha ok, I was trying to save the pleebs from having to see Christie’s face!!! No.Worries…… Touch back in later today…Carpe Diem!!
Hey Chips. The white house lists the time for FLOTUS and Dr. Biden speaking as 10:45AM EST.
Uh oh! Thanks UT - will change it!
Oh my! Embrace the delirium (see above video).
Oh my gosh - my days for that are long gone - probably just as well - take care & don’t forget to actually hand it in! (or do they get emailed these days?)
Just got home. Remember to hand it in….except for the part I left at home in the printer tray!!!! Professor was cool said I could email it. Whew……..
What is it about? Answer when you are done and have taken time to take a breath. Good luck. It will be great, I’m sure.
Its a dissertation of Citizens’ United. And I hope my professor thinks its great!!!
Your Professor will. Sending positive thoughts.
This post has a 50 individual state PDF’s to see what programs, jobs, facilities will be affected in your state. Contact your REP!!
Thanks.
You bet….. I saw somebody posted something similar yesterday, but this has the 50 state PDF links, so I figured everyone could see their own state individually.
The other post didn’t have PDF, so thanks.
Morning folks, I’ve been away on a cruise the last week, what did I miss? Does it look like Chuck Hagel has the votes tomorrow?
It looks as though Senator Hagel will be confirmed. Hope you had a good cruise.
Welcome back NurseShar, hope your cruise was blisssful! As Bill said, it looks like there are enough votes there.
Thanks, the cruise was great, the media blackout even better.
Speaking of Sup. Ct. cases—-this one would protect big biz/corps from legal redress by wronged consumers—prevent class action lawsuits and placing corporations above the law. Think Carnival Cruise.
This is some heinous crap right here! Really freakin’ amazing. Where’s the media? With their heads up their asses!!
—————————-
From the article:
“News outlets have largely ignored the legal barriers that the Supreme Court has erected in between injured consumers and access to compensation - including a current case that could give big business the power to place themselves beyond the reach of federal laws by preventing consumers and small businesses from bringing class action lawsuits.
That’s surprising, considering the extensive media coverage of the story of 3,000 passengers on Carnival Cruise Line’s Triumph who spent five days floating in the Gulf of Mexico with no power or plumbing, and finally disembarked in Mobile, Alabama. On February 20, attorneys for the passengers filed a class-action lawsuit against Carnival, claiming that the cruise line acted negligently by sending the Triumph to sea when they knew the ship had mechanical problems. It was the second major crisis on a Carnival ship in a year.
Thanks to a series of Supreme Court cases limiting class actions and upholding arbitration agreements, those passengers are facing an uphill climb with their lawsuit. Carnival’s ticket contract itself contains an arbitration clause requiring customers to waive their right to bring claims against Carnival in court. It also includes a “class-action waiver” that states:
This contract provides for the exclusive resolution of disputes through individual legal action on guest’s own behalf instead of through any class action.”
I wonder if there was any star at the Oscar telecast standing by to read the announcement in case of a tech failure in gettting FLOTUS on air. I guess Jack would’ve done it.
It’s strange little questions like this that keep me up at night. Yay, Argo!! (Can’t help rooting for the local boy!)
Someone said Jack had the envelope, too, in case there was a technical glitch! I only saw him in my peripheral vision for a few seconds, last night, but at first I thought he was “losing it” when he turned around and looked up with that great goofy Jack look on his face, only to realize he was looking for the feed through which our GORGEOUS FLOTUS would appear. So glad I didn’t miss seeing her beauty and grace and enthusiasm.
THE DOW IS UP! - 14,053.98 +53.41 (0.38%) Real-time: 9:53AM EST
I blame Obama
And his Kenyan Ancestors!
I don’t get it. It’s as if investors are not afraid of the sequester. Is there “crisis fatigue” ? Are they thinking that republicans will blink ? Or democrats ?
Question. I didn’t watch the Oscars. I seldom do. So it was nice waking up,watching the morning news and seeing our wonderful FLOTUS give out the Best Picture award. Lovely, as usual. Anyway, I just received a tweet which intimates that there was a lot of RW negativity towards her being involved. Is that true?
Yep, but no worries, they’d complain if you hit them with NEW boxing gloves.
Hiya Japa, I missed everything last night but judging by my Twitter feed this morning, yes - there was the predictable abuse from RWNJs when she appeared.
I just saw a couple tweets that implied that. This twitting thing is addictive.
Chipsticks, every single one of us know how the right wing haters are toward POTUS and FLOTUS. And what is so wonderful is we don’t give a “DAM” what they think. We admire, respect, love FLOTUS and the right wing haters can go straight to you know where.
We admire respect and love POTUS too.
+ 1,000,000,000 Anniebella!
It wasn’t just rwnj’s. Even Tina Brown made a very offensive tweet. Our country can be very discouraging at times.
Seriously Bill? Tina Brown? Oh boy….
Hers was the only negative one I saw - massive backlash about 98% tweets against her. She had one more tweet & not heard from again since.
Just saw it 99ts, what a hateful cow.
The fact that both Ronald Reagan and Nancy (nee Davis - “my life began when I married my husband”) Reagan were Hollywood actors seems to be lost on the RightWingNutJobs. Facts? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts!!
My deepest apologies to all nuts everywhere…
Now, now Isonprize, don’t trouble their little heads with pesky facts!
Yes, and the fact Reagan was deeply entrenched in acting and president of the Screen Actors Guild for 8 one-year terms is not important, because that had nothing to do with “supporting Hollywood,” dontcha know.
Is that Brooke Shields in bottom right corner?
Reagan used to watch his films on special occasions like his birthday. Someone posted a link to Presidents watching films.
Well Bill, Tina Brown can join the right wing haters straight to that you know where.. One thing about it, I don’t think FLOTUS is worrying about Tina Brown or any of the the haters, right or left.
I don’t understand why FLOTUS’ appearance is anybody’s business, especially Tina Brown’s. Michelle Obama is a beautiful, intelligence, internationally known and admired woman, as well as the First Lady of the United States, and if she likes the movies and agrees to appear at the Oscars, more power to her. It was thrilling to see her. I despised GWB with the heat of a thousand suns, but if Laura Bush had done this, I would have shrugged and said good for her for supporting the arts.
Well said, Jackie G! Besides, since when was Hollywood not part of the United States? The President or First Lady can throw first pitches at baseball games but FLOTUS is not supposed to participate in giving out awards at the Oscars? Some people are really consumed with hating the Obamas.
Some people really don’t know how to have fun.
I think that’s really it. They live such miserable lives, they can’t stand to see people having a good time. Misery loves company. When’s the last time we’ve seen a RWNJ crack a smile, about anything? There is no humor in that group. Well, maybe Seamus is still laughing about now.
What we have here is an illustration of how much republicans have poisoned the atmosphere in America to the point where an appearance at the Oscars by the First Lady of the United States (!!!) is viewed with suspicion . What’s next ? Screaming if the First Lady or the President visits some community after a natural disaster, or after a tragedy like Aurora or Newton ?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/02/25/begala-the-great-sequester-lie.html
Sounds like a few good ideas - especially the Texas suggestions
Paul Begala’s column was excellent! I especially liked the way he poked fun at Texas, Oklahoma and Kentucky for their dependency on federal dollars while they go around denouncing federal spending. Of all the Clintonites he has been, for the most part, a straight shooter when it comes to President Obama. Thanks for sharing it, 99ts! May be Chipstick would like to take a look at it and see if it needs more exposure.
Here’s the inside scoop about how/when/who got FLOTUS on board for the Oscars….
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michelle-obama-at-oscars-harvey-424146
Thank you AJ!
You’re more than welcome, Ms. Chips!
Can I thank you to AJ? Thank you.
You’re more than welcome, too, anniebella!
AJ,
Did you see the last paragraph? Not to worry. They had a plan! After all, this IS Hollywood and the show must go on!!
The person seen via satellite on the Oscars show handing her the envelope was Robert Moritz, the chairman of PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Nicholson, who had introduced the first lady from the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood, was holding a second envelope with the winner — in case something went wrong and they lost the connection.
Yup, the simplest way would’ve to just have Jack to it…don’t know why I was looking for a more complicated Plan B.
!
Don’t read the comments…
I think that republicans organizations still have some paid staff to flood the comments sections of online newspapers with hate and negativity. The comments on that site are almost all negative. I doubt that 95, 98% of americans are mad at the Flotus’s appearance at the Oscars.
Wasn’t there a joke about Harvey Weinstein not involved in the Oscars this year? Tee hee.
So the markets are heading up again today. What do they know about the sequester that we do not?
They’ve probably already figured ‘legislating thru hysteria and delay’ in their matrices and decided this is the new normal. So it’s off to wheeling and dealing for them. Let’s hope they’re getting it right, if not, hang on to your uppers, it’ll be a wild ride.
Heads Up: Michelle Obama, President Obama, VP Biden speak to Governors Assoc. (10:45 EST)

While awaiting FLOTUS, I’m listening to the healthcare town hall (Sam Cass just spoke) at WH.gov. Interesting low-key speakers so far - current speaker mentioning preventive services.
Ah, missed that VC - thank you!
Jill Biden speaking now:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/first-lady-michelle-obama-speaks-national-governors-association
Does WH.gov have 2 channels, and why do I always end up in the wrong ‘lane’ when there is a choice?
*My* WH.GOV is still streaming the health forum while indicating FLOTUS is ‘next up…’ I clicked on that ‘next-up’ and it just stared back at me without moving.
It always leave me in a muddle too VC! Just click the link on the right, ie the name of the event you want to see - the event that starts first is the one that always shows up at the main url.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/first-lady-michelle-obama-speaks-national-governors-association
It’s on CNN now too:
http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=4
O my screen won’t allow me to click on the 2nd or 3rd listed items, and surprisingly I am finding the speakers calm and informative.
VC, when that happens just refresh the page, the event titles only turn to links near the time.
Okey-dokey, old gurl! Thank you. My confusion is fun today though as I’m trying to keep one ear on PBO and the other on the health forum. I would never have thought on my own that this was possible.
Aaaw. The healthcare forum is wrapping up. It was good because it was clear.
Apparently they are going to break-out sessions.
TY, Chips, I got in on your link above so now I have FLOTUS on one browser and the health town hall on the other and my brain thoroughly scurrying to follow both.
Figures I got to FLOTUS when she was wrapping up.
Hello, Dr. Biden is speaking now.
Not on my WH.Gov! I suppose this means I’m special-er than I thought.
You are truly special. I regfuse to say in what way, however.
Happy Monday, Japa!
Who is that woman (governor?) speaking?
Just ignore me. There’s a new speaker.
I’ll listen as I flip back & forth.
If ever you guys are bored and have some free time on your hands, go and take a look at Mitch McConnell’s brief military career. Oh please go take a look!! It’s worth it…… LOL
There has been much speculation over the years for the true reason for his discharge. I don’t think his discharge papers have ever been released.
Maybe Donald Trump will help get the papers.
His guys are still in Hawaii on his expense account looking for PBO’s “real” birth certificate.
Oh, yeah. Must be enjoyin’ the heck out of Hawaii. It’s known as “The Happiest State in the U.S.,” after some recent poll - no wonder Pres. Obama is “always” trying to go back there for a (weekend) vacation. Argghhh.
A patriot in the truest sense… Oh wait….. G’day y’all!
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS
VIDEO: Hey Stupid! The President Doesn’t Run Congress!!
By The Pragmatic Pundit
———————————————————
As I listened to a press briefing the other day, I was appalled when a reporter asked if there was anything the President could do by executive order to stop the sequester.Press Secretary Jay Carney responded that “It would certainly be a welcomed development if the President were able to legislate. Unfortunately…. that is not a power that the President has….”
Now, maybe it’s me, but I don’t think it’s too much to expect reporters assigned to the White House to understand how the government works. Surely, when Congressional members and pundits are calling for the President to “lead”, everyone knows that’s just a bunch of blowhard bullshit…the President doesn’t tell Congress what to do.
Here’s a clue…Congress is called the Legislative Branch because it is the branch of government that legislates. So all the finger-pointing about who is to blame for the sequester is just plain stupid. The President does not legislate. He either approves and signs a bill or vetoes it.

OMG!!!! The Strange and Possibly Sordid Story of Mitch McConnell’s Military Service.
I did that wrong. Second try: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/02/24/1189537/-The-Strange-and-Possibly-Sordid-Story-of-Mitch-McConnell-s-Military-Service#
Watching the President speak to the Governor’s in the White House right now. No Link?? or did I miss it?
I enjoy listening to Dr. Biden and First Lady Michelle. When I listen to what those two women are out there trying to do for our military men and women and their families, it makes me so proud of them. This is why if ever ask who do I respect and admire, Tina Brown or FLOTUS, no contest. Because FLOTUS is out there trying to help people, Tina Brown is out there trying to sell magazines. The right wing haters are out there just hating, because they can’t handle a Black Family in the White House.
Just called the Onion, they told me a statement is coming out soon.
It’s better be an honest one. Deplorable, sickening mess.
About damned time. What they did was disgusting.
Feb. 25, 2013
Dear Readers,
On behalf of The Onion, I offer my personal apology to Quvenzhané Wallis and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the tweet that was circulated last night during the Oscars. It was crude and offensive—not to mention inconsistent with The Onion’s commitment to parody and satire, however biting.
No person should be subjected to such a senseless, humorless comment masquerading as satire.
The tweet was taken down within an hour of publication. We have instituted new and tighter Twitter procedures to ensure that this kind of mistake does not occur again.
In addition, we are taking immediate steps to discipline those individuals responsible.
Miss Wallis, you are young and talented and deserve better. All of us at The Onion are deeply sorry.
Sincerely,
Steve Hannah
CEO
The Onion
It was also HURTFUL to her, her family and everyone who saw it.
This is the kind of “humor” that happens when people try to be edgy instead of funny. The first law of comedy: be funny. I think they thought the fallout and outrage would be funny. It wasn’t and somebody needs to be fired.
Exactly. I’ll never see “The Onion” again, without thinking of that little girl and what even one person on their staff thought was funny. And then I’ll think about my own 9-year-old granddaughter, because she was, by extension, also their target.
I’ll never forget the line in the movie about the founder of Facebook when he blogged nasty things about his girlfriend when she broke up with him and he tried to apologize. She told him that the things he wrote about her on the Internet was like “INK” and that posting lies and hurtful things on the internet is what the “ANGRY” do. The people who took the bait and joined in on nasty comments about this little girl are a bunch of idiots and inwardly angry people who are lower than dirt scumbags to attack a little child.
THAT’S an apology. You don’t even see apologies like that from politicians.
The above post is one that needs to be shared, especially with anyone you hear saying the President should….. re sequester. The video on how government (should) runs is brief enough for them to educate themselves quickly.
Hi Chips and everyone. Been out with pneumonia so am just getting to where I can breathe and read. I am still off work but am going to try to go back to work tomorrow. Loved our beautiful First Lady’s. appearance at the Oscars. What a treat.
So sorry to hear of your pneumonia, Jackie! Don’t rush going back to work, if you have the choice! Feel better.
Thanks JO’B. it has been a slow recovery. I am lucky I have plenty of sick leave. I saved it up for the inauguration then couldn’t go.
That last part isn’t quite as bad as the pneumonia, but it’s still awful! Be well!
Sorry to hear you were ill, but glad you are on the mend, Jackie4O.
Take good care of yourself J4O. Jacquelineoboomer is right — don’t rush it. Be blessed and be well.
Oh, no, Jackie! I’m so sorry and hope you are taking good care. Get well SOON.
Thanks Meta. I am determined to beat this so it never comes back.
Hi Jackie, as I’m sure you and your medical care provider know, recovering from pneumonia and pushing to get back to work are mutually incompatible. Please be certain you are fully recovered and then start slowly with 1/2 day at work for the first few days. Take care!!

2 months ago, Speaker Boehner pushed for $800b in deficit reduction from tax reform, now would rather lose 750k jobs than enact his own plan
———————————————————————————-
Yeah. What Boehner meant was ‘broaden the tax base’ which is code for ‘make the poor and struggling families pay more taxes’.
Republicans waiting for the President’s ‘plan’ that they can reject (you know — the plan that has existed for two years). When did the House of Representatives stop writing legislation?
#JobsNotCuts (twitter bomb currently underway, everyone)
CNN headline:
Justice Sotomayor slams racially insensitive argument by federal prosecutor. Prosecutor said, “You’ve got African Americans … Hispanics … a bag full of money … does that tell you this is a drug deal?” Justice Sotomayor said, “I hope never to see a case like this again.”
No other details, but sounds like a big problem for that federal prosecutor.
There is an endless supply of paint.
While ol’ Thomas sat there looking like he’d golf balls in his jaws. It was reported that at some point during the proceedings he actually blinked.
Wow. Movement.
Ok, I was off the intertubes all day yesterday, so I just saw the “funny” tweet the Onion made about young Ms. Wallis. Who the HELL thought that calling a child that word was in the remotest way funny? Hopefully that person has lost his/her job.
Amen to that!
Did y’all see the e-mail from Emily’s List about Chris Christie, which reads, in part:
“There’s no denying: Chris Christie’s tenure as governor has been awful, especially for New Jersey’s women and families. This is the guy who called universal Pre-K “government babysit[ting],” vetoed 3 out of 4 equal pay bills, and vetoed a bill to give gay couples in New Jersey the right to marry … His track record with women’s and family health is even more abysmal: He eliminated millions of dollars of funding for family planning organizations and vetoed an attempt to restore it; he supported Paul Ryan’s budget, which would have ended Medicare as we know it; and he’s proudly anti-choice.”
So guess he really won’t have a “seat at the table,” so easily, next time he runs.
Why, oh why, does this guy have a high approval rating among so-called liberals, when he’s against everything the liberals are supposed to stand for as Democrats?
Hurricane Sandy. Possibly other stuff. He’ll wreck the good standing he has, before the next election - or turn Democrat, like he should!!!!
The President Isn’t ‘Moving Goal Posts’ to Avoid Spending Cuts: Obama Adviser
The characterization that the president is “moving the goal posts” by demanding more revenue was made by Bob Woodward in a Washington Post op-ed.
But Sperling responded by telling CNBC, “[Woodward] has never been more wrong … The entire DNA of the enforcement mechanism, the sequester, was to bring both sides back to the table. That Democrats would compromise more on entitlements. That Republicans would compromise more on revenues,” the director of the National Economic Council told “Squawk Box. “So the idea that this moves the ‘goal post,’ there’s not even an ounce of truth to that,” Sperling said.
Sperling also said, “We take into account the fact that we’ve done $600 billion in revenues. That was the number that sealed the agreement to avoid the ‘fiscal cliff’ at the beginning of the year.
“But to get a [sequester] deal, compromise,” he stressed, “you still need to do some closing of loopholes and tax expenditures to raise revenues together with entitlement [reform].”
If a compromise deal isn’t reached, Sperling argued, it would be the GOP’s fault. “[Republicans] can’t find one single penny of revenues. Not one single penny of loopholes or corporate tax expenditures. That’s an absolutist position.”

Maybe the liability insurance CEOs might want a little piece of that “well-regulated” profit consideration.
Completely off-topic, but I simply had no choice…
Love it! Thanks.
Convulsive laughter every time I watch it!
That is hilarious
An OK bill has passed their Senate committee and is headed to the state Senate for a vote. From the party of ‘freedom’:
“Giving employers the right to decide whether their employees should have access to basic preventive health care, like birth control, is plenty nuts, but just check out the reasoning for this idiotic bill:
Jolley said the measure is the result of a request from a constituent, Dr. Dominic Pedulla, an Oklahoma City cardiologist who describes himself as a natural family planning medical consultant and women’s health researcher. [...]
Women are worse off with contraception because it suppresses and disables who they are, Pedulla said.
“Part of their identity is the potential to be a mother,” Pedulla said. “They are being asked to suppress and radically contradict part of their own identity, and if that wasn’t bad enough, they are being asked to poison their bodies.”
Um … okay, doctor who apparently graduated from Acme Medical School. That’s not really how birth control works. It doesn’t suppress your identity—it just makes it so you don’t get pregnant when you don’t want to. It’s pretty simple, actually. If you’re not a quack.”
I think I read an anthropological digest that said the first thing cavemen chiseled on rocks was something like, “Women are worse off with contraception because it suppresses and disables who they are. Oh, and, it’s radical.”
In today’s world, I really, really like how a practicing cardiologist knows all about “natural family planning” and researches “women’s health.” Sounds a little kinky. And Republican.
Astounding, isn’t it?
Love the Kennett Area Dems tweets, Alycee. Philly area, yes? (I’m originally from across the river in Trenton.) Thanks!
Yes, about 50 miles southwest of Philly.
Cool.
Boehner and his posse have apparently planned a press love-fest for later today. I thought I’d TRY to help spread a backdrop for him. Do help if you feel like holding a corner of the backdrop.
Oh, VC, the way you wrote “Am’cans” might sound a little Socialist Marxist to Boehner. And I chuckle. (Good for you; loved the tweet!)
Thanks, JO’B. It fair boggles the mind that these irresponsible, overpaid, over-entitled, uncaring guys set their own work schedule and content while the country’s business is put on the back burner!
Yes, while the Democrats like Speaker for Life Pelosi offer to stay in town and get some work done.
Good Morning tOD family
FLOTUS stole the show last night.
