I know you all were on pins and needles worrying whether the sell-out Prez would return safely from his global governance negotiations in Copenhagen on Friday.
However, never fear ... Obama accomplished what his puppet masters intended in Copenhagen:

SOLD: Sen. Ben Nelson to vote for health care bill; Secured favors for his home state...

Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.
"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal.
Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with Nelson on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block.
But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state.
Asked if he was prepared to support the bill, Nelson said, "Yeah."
Dems Own It...
An opponent of President Obama's health care overhaul poses with a banner during a demonstration outside the offices of Sen. Ben Nelson D-Neb., in Omaha, Neb., Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2009. Democratic leaders in Washington were trying to finalize language restricting abortion coverage that could secure the support of moderate Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb.

SINK HOLE NEWS
Tremendous sink hole treatening to swallow community in Virginia
But two weeks later the ground around the hole in a one hundred foot radius began to sink.
Several witnesses were on hand as the ground collapsed opening up a very large crater that toppled trees.
“It was a frightening thing to watch.” Silvia Shelby told us. “we could see the ground begining to move downward slowly at first, then it just gave way and the ground opened up. Trees fell over and went down into the hole, rocks and boulders tumbled down. It was a terrifying spectical to watch.”
Four months later, the hole has grown to enormous proportions.
At nearly a half mile wide and with no indication of how deep it is, the hole continues to grow each day.
It has expanded to the nearby rivers and created huge water falls on its ridge which are emptying the water at a dramatic rate.
The draw of water into the hole has caused a huge surge in sea water to travel up the river and at high tide the sound of water crashing over the newly formed falls is deafening.
Residents who live a mere few yards of the hole have been evacuated, and all they can do is stand by and watch helplessly as their homes tumble into the hole within the next few days.

Sunspot 1035 has produced a few C-Class solar flares, the biggest of which was a C7.6 event on Friday afternoon. This is now the largest X-Ray enhancement of Cycle 24 up until this update. There will continue to be a chance for more C-Class flares and perhaps a smaller chance for an M-Class event.
The plage region that rotated onto the Eastern Limb is currently spotless.

For sheer entertainment value, nothing beats a United Nations global warming conference, especially if you were one of millions of Americans holed up in sub-freezing temperatures this past week.

(One only wonders if liberated female attendees would also avail themselves of the offer?) The carbon-neutral week kicked off according to plan as Global Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore, citing the research of Dr. Wieslav Maslowski,...

Paralyzing Snowstorm Clobbers Washington, D.C., to Providence
A major nor'easter that dumped 1-2 feet of snow over parts of western North Carolina and western Virginia is spreading heavy snow into the major mid-Atlantic cities. The storm is destined to become a blizzard by late today into tonight, while hammering part of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England with over a foot of snow, strong winds and coastal flooding. Motorists that venture out in the storm will likely become stranded in the heavy snow, and hundreds of flights will be canceled. Full Story

FEMA is in the process of updating Broward County's flood maps, which will likely be finished next year. The last maps, completed in 1997, show that the vast majority of Broward is in a flood zone. It's not only eastern, low-lying areas in a flood zone but also western Broward, which was once part of the Everglades. The flood maps help assess risk and determine flood insurance premiums.

U.N. Chief: 'We Have a Deal' on Climate Change (Obama pledges $100 billion to monitor cow farts)
POLICE STATE USA
This Saturday morning's Washington Post:
Saturday, December 19, 2009; 11:20 AM
In a rare early Saturday morning vote, the Senate cleared several last procedural hurdles -- including one beyond its control, a raging snowstorm -- to pass the Pentagon's massive spending bill that includes nearly $130 billion for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/19/AR2009121900796.html
More in that bill was the following - INCLUDING PATRIOT ACT EXTENSION!!
quote:
The defense spending bill includes $626 billion for critical Pentagon functions and an additional $10 billion for employee pension funds.
Almost as importantly, it includes a host of add-ons, many of them two-month extensions that will keep various current laws intact until late February, when Congress will have to undergo another flurry of deal making.
The package includes safety-net measures designed to help those struggling through economic hardship, including extensions in unemployment benefits, COBRA health insurance for jobless workers and food stamps as well as increased assistance to states to help cover the costs of Medicaid.
The USA Patriot Act, a subject of acute differences between the two parties as well as the two chambers, gets a two-month extension, as do the bills authorizing highway funding, flood insurance and federal loans for small businesses. Televisions won't go dark on New Year's Day, as a law that ensures satellite TV customers receive local broadcast channels will be extended through Feb. 28. And doctors who had been scheduled to receive smaller payments from Medicare also get a two-month reprieve, after Democrats were unable to move a long-term fix to the issue before time ran out in 2009.

The Biker and the Lion (A lesson in politics)
Posted on Saturday, December 19, 2009 8:45:20 AM
A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S.Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
