Plans for Stalin billboards for Moscow’s May Day parade sparking controversy
By PoliJAM | March 11, 2010
Ruthless Soviet Dictator Josef Stalin once said:
“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.”
Now the totalitarian wannabe Vladimir Putin wants you to either admire the tyrant Stalin or send you off to the GULAG!

SALT GESTAPO: NY Assemblyman Explains His Nanny State Push for a Ban on Salt In NY Restaurants
By PoliJAM | March 11, 2010
The New York Daily News reports:
Share ThisIf State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz has his way, the only salt added to your meal will come from the chef’s tears.
The Brooklyn Democrat has introduced a bill that would ban the use of salt in New York restaurants – and violators would be smacked with a $1,000 fine for every salty dish.
“No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food,” the bill reads.
Some of Manhattan’s top cooks blasted the idea, saying the legislation lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.
“New York City is considered the restaurant capital of the world. If they banned salt, nobody would come here anymore,” said Tom Colicchio, star of “Top Chef” and owner of Craft.
“Anybody who wants to taste food with no salt, go to a hospital and taste that,” he said.

Rubio Slams ‘False’ Back Wax Jab: Crist Doesn’t Talk Policies, Just Talks His ‘Cheap Haircuts’
By PoliJAM | March 11, 2010
RUBIO: The answer is a no, but that’s a bizarre statement, the whole thing is weird. -
The answer is absolutely not. It’s false, and by the way, that’s not what this election is about. We’re talking about a country that owes trillions of dollars in debt, and my opponent wants to talk about how cheap his haircuts are – that’s ridiculous.
Share ThisGRETA: What else divides you from your co-Republican, Governor Crist in terms of policies or how you approach this campaign?
RUBIO: It’s hard to tell sometimes because he doesn’t talk a lot about policies or principles.

Biden: Health Reform Bill Is Unpopular Because It’s Too “Complicated” for the People to Understand
By PoliJAM | March 10, 2010
The people are resistant to the Democrats’ health care reform proposal because it’s too “complicated” for them to understand, Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview that aired today on MSNBC.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Why are they so resistant to it in the polling?
JOE BIDEN: Because it’s real complicated Chris.
So if it’s real “complicated” as Biden says, how are the American people too expect his dumb ass to understand it?
This is the same man who plagiarized his own biography while running for president in 1988, was on the wrong side of every foreign policy decision since the time he entered the U.S. Senate, and sticks his foot in mouth every chance he gets.
Yet he thinks he understands the health care bill better than the American public that opposes it.

Krauthammer on Roberts’ SOTU Reply: ‘I liked the delayed response – had the right judicial touch, slightly robed’
By PoliJAM | March 10, 2010
Share This“I liked the delayed response, the leaving of a decent period between the attack and counterattack. It had the right judicial touch, it was slightly robed. And I think what I’d like to see is the empty nine seats for every State of the Union in the Obama presidency. That would send a message.”

NASA’s Tumbleweed Rovers May Unlock the Mysteries of Mars … and ‘They’re Gonna Twitter’
By PoliJAM | March 10, 2010
Discovery Channel reports:
Before Mars can become the next great frontier for human exploration, we need to send more robotic missions to gather as much information as possible about our planetary neighbor. But what kind of robot has the right combination of weight, cost and range, while still being able to carry out groundbreaking science?
Cue the Tumbleweed Mars rover, an ingenious concept vying for attention in the hope of becoming an entirely different method to explore vast regions of the Martian surface, one that rolls across the surface instead of six-wheeling.

As Rumors of Infidelity Swirl, Carla Bruni Says of Marriage to Sarkozy: “Who Knows If It’s Forever”
By PoliJAM | March 10, 2010
The Daily Telegraph reports:
Share ThisIn an interview with Sky News, the French first lady described her relationship as a “fairy tale” but went on to say she did not know how long it would last.
While discussing her husband, she was asked: “Is he for keeps – is he forever?”
After a long pause, she replied: “I guess marriage should be forever but who knows what happens. I wish it was forever, that’s my hope … but we could be dead tomorrow.”
Speculation has been rife in recent days on Twitter, in blogs and on the website of a respected French newspaper – that both Mrs Bruni and her husband are having extramarital affairs.
The rumours allege that she has moved in with Benjamin Biolay, a French musician six years her junior, while Mr Sarkozy has sought “comfort” in the arms of his ecology minister, Chantal Jouanno, a karate champion who has strenuously denied the claims.

Pelosi: House Has Votes for ObamaCare If Vote Were Held “Today”
By PoliJAM | March 10, 2010
Appearing Tuesday evening on the Charlie Rose show, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the health care reform legislation would pass if the House of Representatives were to take the vote “today.”
CHARLIE ROSE: The Speaker of the House believes health care will pass?
NANCY PELOSI: Yes. Today, I mean if we took it up today, yes.
ROSE: Today, OK. It will pass, OK.
PELOSI: Yes.
However, Pelosi said that she needed to wait for the Congressional Budget Office to deliver its score on the bill’s impact before knowing for sure whether the Democrat’s takeover of the health care system would indeed pass.
