IS IT TRUE November 4, 2014

1. 169 more min wage jobs with no benefits. That average wage number they put out is always bogus. When these announcements take place and the jackasses downtown get a public opportunity to pat themselves on the back, do the jobs ever even come? I remember several instances where they did not.

   • Why should a person need benefits, they have obamacare. Get used to low wage jobs, the unions pushed for Clinton, Clinton pushed for NAFTA and the good jobs left the country. I was out at the airport last week and there was a new Lincoln on display, made in Mexico. It was $45,000, a nice high quality vehicle. Thank you Mr. Clinton and democrats for taking care of the consumers and protecting us from the high cost and poor quality of union thug labor. We would already have a new hotel at the arena if our politicians put out a RFP without a PLA. Unions drag this country down.

2. *Half the players would have reading comprehensions skill below their grade level*

   Reading comprehension, and the skills of playing good baseball has no correlation.

   Apparently, one’s with skills can, the rest “try” to be editors(authors)!

   • And then there are those who know the difference between “one’s” and “ones”…..

   • Yes, there are those who try to be authors and they need editors:

     “Reading comprehension (no comma needed) and the skills of playing good baseball HAVE no correlation.”

     And of course there are those who know the difference between “one’s” and “ones”…….

3. I do hope that the gentleman who received the bill for the Kunkels on the water for the McCurdy is in very good health for his age. Getting such a thing in the mail could prove too much for a frail person. It is the stupid errors of this sort that make the powers that be look completely incompetent.
   I am looking forward to tonight’s election results. We will know which pundits have it closest to right, and what this country is going to be facing for the next year.
   Happy election day, everybody! Vote early today if you haven’t already done it!

   • Watch the video list and run through the photos, before you vote, if ones waited for today to cast a ballot. Those guys,,,,, what a hoot.

4. Vote early and vote often! LOL I already voted and just hope that they don’t lose my vote this time like they did the last time.

   • Enhanced IT keeps down the losses and improves the gains. Analytics and big data has a unlimited horizon for development in social economic environmental applications. When that really gets to cover politics they’re pretty much finished if the policies aren’t for the constituencies benefit. Straight down sunshine in, shadows fade.
     That spot light earlier this year on this CCO page about IT and computer geeks that was clandestinely recorded at the old country club, defines where you all need to pursue improvements.
     Our global clean water solutions modeling relies on many aspects of commerce to see implementation IT is strong with that, however, the best case logistical infrastructures weigh in heavy to balance the sustainable direction, as well.
     Something like the development we see in Modern Rail and best use encourages that forward.
     That’s pure growth for the whole realm of social economic environmental balance when one looks to the innovation and good jobs creation it serves. Evansville needs to balance this now to actually create metro southwestern Indiana growth. The present governance there is focused on the wrong plan per metro benefit, location, location, can be an asset, or a growing burden. You all really know how that’s continuing to play out there.

     Here’s how that can work using standard logistical values and moving them forward.

5. Do you think it’s true that the GOP members who control the media outlets like to write about polls that show their favorite candidates leading their opponents in order to help their candidates win on election day?

   Is it true that maybe some people who actually believe what the news media tells them may give up and not vote since they think that their democratic candidate is not going to win anyway?

   Is it true that in the past one GOP controlled news paper printed up it’s headlines with something to the effect that “Dewey Wins” in the race for the President years ago? Is it true that they sent the example of how to pull of a win (in their head lines only) for their candidate?

   Is it true that Mitch McConnell suddenly pulled ahead of Allison Grimes by several points in the last two days when before they were neck and neck?

   Is it true that there are biases in most all the polls?

   Is it not true that the media can pick and choose which polls they want to publish and that they don’t even have to tell us which poll they are using?

   Is it true that not all polls are the same. Is it true that not all polls have the same sample population or number of samples.

   Is it true that unless the sample population is taken randomly using real statistical sampling methodology that the sample population will not truly represent the real population that’s being estimated?

   Is it true that the real population is only the people that actually go and cast votes?

   Is it true that if the pollsters ask questions of people that don’t vote or don’t vote the way they tell the posters that the polls are going to be skewed and untrue?

   Is it true that the purpose of a statically survey is to try to use a subset of the voting population to predict what the actual voters are going to do? Is it not also true that if the don’t get the right subset of the real voting population the poll is not accurate and actually meaningless. And is it true that the media knows these facts and still publishs the polls that make their favorite candidate look better right before the election?

   Is there a poll that’s better than the rest? If so which one is that? And why are we not using it?

   The answer is yes to the question above and the poll that’s best if the actually election. Only after all the votes are counted will a real winner be found.

   So get your butts out there and go vote! If you complain about the way things are now and are unhappy with the current situation then if you don’t get your ass out there and vote you have no one to blame but yourself.

   Vote today and don’t put that off.

   • I can speak with some authority on this subject, having designed and conducted several polls in my day. Polls are less dependable now than they were 20 years ago. It is extremely difficult to pull a truly representative sample of participants, because landlines are going the way of the dinosaur. You really have to ask yourself how much the opinions of people who will answer a call from an unknown caller during the time most of us are having dinner reflect those of most voters. There are some good polls, but we won’t know which ones are until after the election results are in.

     • Well Nate Silver was 50 out of 50 on the state level in the 2012 presidential election so there must be some value to his algorithms. Flipping a coin would have resulted in a 25 out of 50 success rate. Silver’s 538 poll has a republican takeover of the senate at 73% this morning. If I were into betting I would bet on a change of power in the senate based on Silver and the RCP averages.

       http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2012/11/07/how-accurate-were-nate-silvers-predictions-for-the-2012-presidential-election/

       • I think Silver’s 73% is up from 70 yesterday which was an increase from hovering in the upper 60s for much of the election cycle, the best I remember. Hate to say it but that’s good enough for me. His book is a good read with good information. It would be a useful complement to the hard numbers part of college statistics classes. He was indeed deadly accurate in the 2012 races.

         • What is his track record other than 2012? Did he do this well before or after 2012. I’m not familiar with him so please update me on his other records. Maybe he is so knew that there is no other information on how he did in other predictions.

           Who do you think has the most accurate polls this years other than him?

           It won’t really matter in a few more hours as the votes will have been cast and counted for those that actually went out and voted. All the other people who failed to vote won’t be counted. And sadly that’s a lot of people who didn’t vote or won’t vote. We get what we deserve I guess. People need to get off their butts and go vote.

         • Nate Silver and Sam Wang are very good at what they do, and I feel certain tonight will see the GOP taking over the Senate. I’m not really sure if it is going to be the “wave” they expect, though. If the GOP gubernatorial races don’ t go as well as expected, I think we will just be seeing an anti-incumbency reaction instead of a pro-GOP wave. I’m really interested in the Governor’s races tonight, more than the Senate races.

         • Moveon,
           The first I heard of him was a few months before the 2012 election. His book is worth reading.

   • Yup, and todays Analytics run is showing that some things that were issues for policy development still mean nothing today, as well. Positioning rush, appointed minion style. You guys really need to think forward when placing any ballots there. Look to the end of the string and vote the handlers out.
     Using that IiT ball field analogy, the home teams players performance on the diamond is usually connected to the agents who provide them. Given that, to much of the teams presence is all ready on its way down that creek.
     When thinking down the road of time we’ve wondered who’s bench has the most viability to sub or pinch hit. Those teams stars underperformance along with traits not normally shown on the field of play could possibly have cause for league suspension.

     (Conclusion) The social economic Analytics communication run might suggest a strong observation of the bench squad as one might have a call to field some them in the next inning, or two.

     Vote in your respected areas today, its the only choice you’ll ever get to work the bench some.

     Communications examples and todays league confusion:

   • Your aim is scarily right on target, Bubba. Your last observation is the one that concerns me the most.

7. So let’s have a contest to see how quickly America will have buyer’s remorse.

   Jan 3rd? Jan 10th? Jan 20th

   When will ‘ol Mitch end the filibuster?

   1st day of business? 2nd day?

   What will be the first bill they pass for Obama’s vote pen?

   Tax cuts for the MegaCorps and Ultrarich , repealing Obamacare or regulating lady parts?

   I’m betting on regulating lady parts, they just can’t help themselves.

   • I agree. The ole boys do love them some uteruses (uteri?), and they all know the best way to express love is to exert total control over the object of that affection.

     • Oh Lordy, personhood amendments, repeal the ACA, more onerous restrictions on voting (maybe a national GOP Photo ID) and sainthood for King Coal. While we’re canonizing let’s do it for the old Turtle too. Mitch has become a millionaire while a senator in the pocket of big money and deserves recognition as such. Do it quick, the puffy old fool might be having his last hurrah tonight. Actually the first order of business should be to relieve Joni Ernst of her hog knife, the senate Sergeant at Arms can be tasked with this, so as to not cut too deeply into legislatin’ time.

       Oh, and it’s time to start seriously attacking birth control. The past half-hearted, water-testing, public-softening forays into that area have made it ripe to be the next ginned up ‘issue’ to make the Republican’s ‘Bagger base wet. It’ll make their wallets open like steamed clams. Birth control was the start of America’s decline, you know.

       A Republican senate could easily devolve into a wheel spinning bunch of crazed screamers. They don’t have anybody to sign the crap they plan on passing, nor will they have the votes to convict Obama once the house impeaches him.

       Onward through the fog. On to 2016.

       • How’d they know?

         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eisKxhjBnZ0

       • Please don’t jump off the twin bridges tonight when the republicans take the senate. The country has survived that piece of shit Harry Reid and the republic will survive Senator McTurtle. If anything some legislation may actually make it through congress. Will the president sign things that make sense like tax reform or will he become the new obstruction to moving forward? My bet is the latter. Kings do not take well to having their power stripped away and this pretender will be no different.

       • That kind of looks like what the next year is going to hold for us, but the public will be so fed up with the idiocy it will insure another Democratic president, come 2016. If the GOP doesn’t do as well tonight as is expected, we could be in danger of another rich Republican idiot becoming president.
         They’re going to have to take Joni’s “beautiful little Smith & Wesson 9mm off of her before they worry about the hog knife. Whoever does that needs a full set of body armor, just in case she thinks they’re interfering with her rights.
         Think what fun the late-night comedians are going to have for the next year.

         • psst—–> http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/5-things-to-watch-for-on-election-day/ar-BBcT7jx

         • Like Hillary isn’t rich? Name calling already?

           Class envy works ONLY with uneducated liberals & undereducated moderates. I know that’s where your comments are aimed. Build them up so they can vote for those raising their taxes & running their employers out of business.

         • LKB. I agree idiots elected the current Democrat president. But you’re the first person I’ve seen refer to the only part of the male anatomy with something to fear from the castration knife as body armor.

         • Of course Hillary is rich, and anybody who runs for president on either ticket likely will be. She still isn’t a Republican idiot, though. Dubya, Mittens, and McCain do make the cut, though.

         • My comment above was meant for Heisenberg, btw.
           @ commonsense: Are you drinking? Your comment makes no sense. I said that whoever is charged with the duty of taking away Joni’s gun – the one she brags about publicly – away will need to wear body armor while they do it, as she says she intends to shoot people who she believes are infringing on her rights. Do you get it now?

       • Bandana So Mitch has become a millionaire while he was a senator. Here’s a deal for you.We’ll give up Mitch and replace him with Bevin. You give up Joe Btfspk (AKA Harry Reid) and replace him with the dem/socialist of your choice. He also became a millionaire while a senator.
         BTW- what congressperson has “attacked” birth control?

         • In poker the biggest loser is the player who THINKS he has the best hand is completely CONVINCED he has the best hand and goes all in with a set but when the cards are turned over he/she sees the other guy flopped Broadway and had them all along.

           In politics the biggest losers are people like you who somehow are convinced that the R party has the country’s best interests a heart because somehow capitalism is utopia and socialism is evil even though neither is true. You’re Exhibit A although I’m sure instead of thinking about what I’ve written you’ll just brush it aside as another Obama “idiot”

           They main reason Americans are frustrated with their circumstances is that personal income have risen very little for the middle class even though most economic measures are significantly better than they were in 2009. So they’re going to the polls today to hand the keys to the R’s, the very party that obstructed every tool(sans tax cuts for the rich and deregulation) however imperfect and blunt those tools were, to stop some of the MASSIVE income inequality that is embedded in this country.

           NONE of you posters that seem to think that Obama voters are idiots and the R’s are you dreams come true will ever, ever, ever be in the 1% and no some extra taxes on the 1% WOULD NOT be the difference between you and your job that is a R boogey man.

           So here is the story of how Haley Barbour wanted to bring Romneycare to MS but couldn’t because Obama had embraced it and suddenly the idea became toxic.

           • The Ultimate Antipoverty Program is …….THE SPREAD OF CAPITALISM!

             http://online.wsj.com/articles/douglas-irwin-the-ultimate-global-antipoverty-program-1414972491?KEYWORDS=capitalism

         • I don’t make deals with people like you. You need to get some help.

       • That didn’t stop the Jerks from impeaching Clinton. I can see Crews now calling for the impeachement of Obama just to make a big show. I can also see one hearing after another in both the Senate and House if the GOP controls these two bodies after this election. They won’t have the votes to convict him but they don’t care. All they want to do is punish the man as much as they can.

         When Mitch McConnell states that the main goal of the GOP when Obama got elected was to obstruct anything and everything that Obama tries to get down you know that’s a sign of what he will do if the GOP takes control of the Senate. They will go after Obama for anything that they can dream up.

         I hope that those going to the polls today think about that and vote accordingly.

         A vote for Mitch and the GOP to take control of the US Senate is a vote for a Three Ring Circus in Washington DC. We already have a two ring circus there now.

         • moveon- Jim Crews is running for president?

         • Pretty much all the cable News outlets are predicting even more extremism , zealotry and fanaticism. How dare this arrogant guy Obama show American and the world that the ideology of deregulation, and tax cuts for the rich was a complete and utter failure and how dare he use Keynesian economics to get us out the ditch. On Fox they are just falling short of demanding Obama’s political head on a pike.

           They haven’t even got started really, in Jan things are gonna get REAL UGLY, REAL FAST.

           • You might want to take a trip down memory lane as a plain old middle class person. Obama has been the spinner of gold to the rich and the destroyer of the upward mobility of the middle class. Of course he didn’t plan it that way but the reality of his programs did pretty much the opposite of everything he promised. He has failed and today’s election is about his failures. It is not about democrat or republican ideology. It is about a naive man who was elected president by a populist campaign built on delusions. Today is Obama’s day of reckoning. The real question is how will he react to the humiliation of seeing his performance in office repudiated by the voters. Will he work with congress or will he sulk like a spurned lover? It is a shame he could not perform for the middle class as he promised. It is a shame that he could not deliver on his healthcare promises. It is a shame the oceans didn’t listen to him and stop rising. Only the ultra rich are better off than they were 6 years ago. That is why the king has been exposed as a fool and that is why his reaction is expected to be bitter and childish.

         • Cruz not Jim

     • Who’s uteruses (uteri?) lkb, are the ole boys exerting total control over? Certainly not Hillary’s uteruses (uteri?).

       • You MUST be drinking. You’re really not making ANY sense.

         • lkb. Exactly. It wasn’t meant to make any sense. I’m mimicking you. No one is exerting total control over your or Hillary’s uteruses (uteri?) or anyone else’s uteruses (uteri?). Ridiculous. BTW – I don’t drink (alcohol).

         • Well that could be EKB, however the analytics overhead shows the party of choice to be more like local machine Democrat’s by the signage around the dive.
           We centrists might have observed the flow of open alcohol containers around one of those stinky patronage flowers today.

           You all should “nip it in the bud” as Barney Fife said to his crew in the foot shot video. We’ve observed that around other locations there as far back as 012, with people outside the local observing today, that’s not so good for the image or the results from that ward. Wait, until the polls close, geez.

           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsg0EvZozI

     • Well, you do know that all “good ole boys” spend 9 months trying to get out and the rest of their lives trying to get back in.

   • I’m assuming you mean “veto pen” and not “vote pen”. I think Barry O has moved beyond hos position of “Community Organizer” in Chiscamco.

8. Chris Keifer is president of the school board but sends his kids to catholic school. Do you see any thing wrong there?

   • No. It shows he wants the best for his kids. Every parent’s right!

     • The best for his kids and to H with everyone else’s kids?

       • That’s how it sounds to me, too. I guess the double-dipping ex-deputy doesn’t believe in his own leadership.

       • The same way I feel about my kids. I spent a lot of time, money and energy getting the best for my kids. I’m sorry other children didn’t get the same opportunity from their family. It’s rough on a child from liberal democrat families with multiple fathers and mothers and siblings of unknown parentage. Democrats need to understand the concept of consequences, the consequences children are experiencing is the results of bad programs and decisions.

         • Moron

         • Consequences are kryptonite to the left.

9. V. Not sure what you said in your 12:18 post, but, great video of Barney’s “nip it in the bud.”

10. Yep, that was comedy and this is now, but what we’ve said is a reality, and it really should have been nipped before the buds. We’ll hold the video for now as we always have, as Centrists who don’t vote for your poor cities politics, but do have People there. We care deeply for their well being as that will run forward with the global changes that are coming. Everything “is” going to change dramatically in the near future. “Everybody that’s anybody in science knows that.”
    That local political board room machine can control some small local inputs, its a very minor zit on the planets facial when the changing climate migration plays out forward. No other global region cares….yet.

    That’s the well being index of those whom must pay in and support the solutions.
    Guess what? Your machine always fails that aspect, historically, with no bounce, just pure hard contact. Flat numbered smack downs.
    Get a real plan! Set the Metro regions best assets forward for the good of the ones that do choose to remain and, hope. Hell, all they have to do is move a few miles over a county line, and shoot, same job, a few more minutes getting beat up on the horrendous infrastructure logistics, and viola life goes on and your revenues continue to migrate to your borders accounts. Dumbasses.

    That’s expressed due our solutions for everyone of the overbearing historically recorded problems you all are taking squarely on face for the coming years. Its about actually getting something done that’s scientifically balanced, and perfectly reasonable to move that regions Metro balance forward for everybody concerned.

    • V– Huh

      • V– Huh?

        • Oh hell, have another one, you might understand in the morning. Might, is pure speculation though. Anyway have a nice evening everybody deserves one of those once and while.

    • Al-maybe flotus will let school children have fried chicken once for their school lunch if they prove their parent(s) voted Democrat.

      • Michelle has ruled that the love of fried chicken is the root of all evil….

13. Should the Republicans get control of both houses, they will still have to come up with a 2/3 majority in both houses to over ride the president veto! I see where this has a historical 10% success. Do we see a continuation of gridlock in congress with their “all or nothing” attitude?

    • This will be up to the President. If he vetoes bills passed by both houses of congress he can create gridlock all by himself. He does not have Harry Reid to save him from voting anymore. It will be amusing to hear Obama blame his own vetoes for gridlock.

      • I’m increasing my supply of popcorn and drink for the possible up coming two year event.
        Gridlock won’t be created, just continued with a new twist!

        • Your not to far off, the trending kind of shows that anyway things go. We just wish things to move forward with the science due of the solutions goes a couple of notches towards positive. You well know the balance between the earth and the industries man needs to maintain a positive foothold on it. Takes commitment and that’s real work that can be marked as far more than someone’s passing trend.
          Our groups analytics will keep working on that regardless of the usual political boat anchors we have to drag against the wind.

14. I say let them cut taxes to zero on the super rich then we’ll see what kind of disaster comes about. Don’t veto their dumbass ideas, Obama. Let then burn down the country and crucify them for it.

    • Thanks for your permission, but we didn’t start the fire, we’re here to put it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g

15. Our esteemed (cough, cough) president is downing Tums by the fist full tonight, on top of his other medications. This is a good thing !

    • Mans got work to do tomorrow for America, he’ll be fine. That’s already been observed.
      It comes with the job.
