If All Else Fails...

Before? After!

Can the voters of New Hampshire be this gullible? Wait, they ARE Democrats, after all. Gee, where was all the crying when she was doing the following: (From NoHillary.com)

Hillary Clinton can take a punch, so we know what happens when you "hit the girl". Apparently, she loses it when she finds out that she’s not the most popular in the class.
When watching the video, I have to admit not seeing any tears. But the cracking of her voice implies an emotional release not expected from the ice lady.
What gets me that while the disappointing and unexpected way her candidacy is being received may be taking a toll on her, I find it hard to look at this as some "human" moment, worthy of some kind of misplaced and undeserved sympathy.
This is the same Hillary Clinton that had no problem seeking the destruction of the lives of any woman who messed around with Bill. This is the same Hillary Clinton who had no problem watching Billy Dale and others in the White House Travel Office have to spend thousands of dollars (they didn’t have to defend themselves in court against false charges), just so her friends could get the gig.
This is the same Hillary Clinton that accused millions of Americans of being part of a "vast, right wing conspiracy" to bring down her husband, knowing full well that her husband was a serial womanizer, groper, bully, and possible rapist. Did she ever take the time to put herself in the position of any one of those women, alone and going up against the power of the media, not to mention the full power of The White House?
No. Hillary Clinton didn’t give a damn about those people, but now that she’s being summarily rejected by the American people, we should care about the toll it’s taking on her.
Gimme a break.

People's Republic Nanny-State Nitwits in Action!

SAN FRANCISCO — The conceit in the 1960s show “The Outer Limits” was that outside forces had taken control of your television set.
Next year in California, state regulators are likely to have the emergency power to control individual thermostats, sending temperatures up or down through a radio-controlled device that will be required in new or substantially modified houses and buildings to manage electricity shortages.
The proposed rules are contained in a document circulated by the California Energy Commission, which for more than three decades has set state energy efficiency standards for home appliances, like water heaters, air conditioners and refrigerators. The changes would allow utilities to adjust customers’ preset temperatures when the price of electricity is soaring. Customers could override the utilities’ suggested temperatures. But in emergencies, the utilities could override customers’ wishes.

Update: Due to negative publicity, this scheme was thwarted - for now!
