Michelle Malkin :Super PAC-Men: Obama Bundlers Gone Wild!?

Question by : Michelle Malkin :Super PAC-Men: Obama Bundlers Gone Wild!?
The White House didn’t blow a dog whistle for deep-pocketed liberal donors on Monday. No, the administration whipped out a supersized vuvuzela. Blaring message: Let loose the campaign finance-bundling hounds of super PAC war!
President Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, who served as White House deputy chief of staff for operations before assuming 2012 re-election duties, announced the super PAC super-flip-flop in a mass e-mail to supporters and a blog post published on the left-wing Huffington Post website. In a related conference call to major campaign finance bundlers, Messina encouraged these high-dollar donors to start funding Priorities USA Action. That’s the Democratic super PAC founded by former White House staffers Bill Burton and Sean Sweeney.

Super PACs and campaigns are barred from coordinating with each other. Nevertheless, Messina said that “senior campaign officials as well as some White House and Cabinet officials will attend and speak at Priorities USA fundraising events.” Of course, they “won’t be soliciting contributions.” Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

This brazen about-face for Team Obama is a goldmine of campaign lies, contortions and epic hypocrisy. Let us count the ways.

– A bundle of contradictions. “Bundling” is the rustling up of aggregate contributions from friends, business associates and employees, a practice to circumvent individual donation limits that Obama has long condemned. When he announced his presidential intentions in 2007, candidate Obama decried “the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests who’ve turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.” He indignantly singled out “the best bundlers” who get the “greatest access” to power.

Last week, Obama acknowledged raising at least $ 74 million through his team of big-time bundlers who have been showered with access, tax dollars and plum patronage positions. This elite group of Hollywood celebrities (such as open-borders actress Eva Longoria), political cronies (such as Chicago bagman Louis “The Vacuum” Susman) and politically correct businessmen (such as bankrupt Solyndra investor George Kaiser) now totals a whopping 445 gold-card members.

– The roar of the revolving door. In his Monday announcement, Messina bragged about how the White House has enacted “sweeping” reforms to “close the revolving door between government and lobbyists.” In truth, the administration has widened the carousel and removed the brakes. The Obama-cheerleading Fishwrap of Record (The New York Times) itself identified at least 15 bundlers “involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies.”

The Vacuum Salesmen?

Question by sweetxoblivion: The Vacuum Salesmen?
A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vaccum cleaner.

” Good morning, ” said the young man. “If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vaccum cleaners.”

“Go away!” said the old lady. “I haven’t got any money!”and she proceeded to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed wide open. “Don’t be too hasty!” he said. “Not until! you have at least seen my demonstration.” And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. “If this vaccum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.”

The old lady stepped back and said, “Well I hope you’ve got a darned good appetite, because they cut off my electricity this morning.”

Question by delina_m: Would you share a funny toddler story?
My son who is 3 made a mess on the carpet so i told him to pick up all the spilled cheerios, he had stepped on some of them so he couldn’t entirely clean the whole thing by hand, so he goes and gets his toy vaccum cleaner and starts “vacuuming”

My 4 year old went potty in a Walmart bathroom (huge for her because she hates public bathrooms) and when walking out she told about 5 or 6 people, “Hi-5!! I went pee in the potty!!” Most people gave her the Hi-5 but one worker looked at her weird, lol

Q&A: Any tips on using the “Space Bag” vaccum storage bags for storing clothes?

Question by Debi: Any tips on using the “Space Bag” vaccum storage bags for storing clothes?
I bought some of those plastic “Space Bag” storage bags that you vaccum the air out of after you fill them up, for storing some clothes.

Are there any tips you have for using them? Like is there any point to ironing clothes before you put them in? Does using the vaccum negatively impact the clothes in any way?

Any tips will be appreciated!

Best answer:

Answer by J-ville boy
Don’t overpack the bag, in fact under pack it to prevent clothes from being wrinkled (as they are pushed against each other). And there’s no point in ironing them before unless they are horribly wrinkled.

Why does my family treat me like this?

Question by : Why does my family treat me like this?
Everything I do is wrong to my mom, I can never please her, she is never happy and never smiles at me.
She crushes all of my dreams, all she cares about is cleaning our house, she’s constantly criticizing me, I always hear her from my room talking to my dad about “all (me) does is shoot her ****ing mouth off” and it seriously ticks me off because i’m always helping her around the house, I have to go to school and worry about my grades going down and she criticizes me about that too! I got a B on my report card and she told me “mm.. you need to work harder okay? go study more” in a really mean way, she didn’t even tell me “good job!” or anything like that, she has been treating me like this sinse I was 7 years old and I feel like exploding on her, every time I try to talk to her she gets annoyed and starts an argument/starts to yell, If I ask her for something she tells me something like “later” or “I can’t right now” and she’s just sitting there on her computer doing nothing!! I asked her “Hey mom, can I get a haircut please?” and she rudly replied “No, You’ll wait for a haircut” It’s like i’m always wrong and she HAS to be right, she ALWAYS interupts me while i’m talking and I feel like dying. and on top of that, my brother is always backing her up whenever she says something bad about me he’ll be like “yeah, jerk” and he’s always calling me a faggot or a retard (btw i’m a girl..) and i’m SICK of it!! I feel like killing them but I can’t! my mom is always trying to control my life and what I do! when I’m having an argument with her she has to get my dad to back her up so she’s always right!, my dad was really nice to me, but lately he hasn’t been as nice and has been really moody, and right when I get home from school my mom tells me “HEY, GET IN HERE AND CLEAN YOUR ROOM AND VACUUM” and I haven’t even gotten time to change my clothes or anything! she doesn’t even listen to me when I talk to her, she just ignores me and tells me to go to my room, WHY do they treat me like this?! :’(

Q&A: Are all automotive vaccum lines interconnected somehow?

Question by K-Beck: Are all automotive vaccum lines interconnected somehow?
I’m in the final stages of swapping an engine (1995 Olds 88) and I’m wondering how I’m supposed to figure out where all these vaccum lines went. Is there some sort of large “vacuum”-type component somewhere and everything splits off from that or are they all different vaccum circuits that are separately controlled with separate pressures? And if so, would a repair manual (haynes) have a workable diagram?

Best answer:

Answer by UCANTCME
Question 1. Nope they do not.

Question 2. Yes the manual will have this.

How do you make the triangle vaccum marks like at open houses and model homes?

Question by grrrlpwr: How do you make the triangle vaccum marks like at open houses and model homes?
You know what I’m talking about…the long, thin triangles in the carpet pile that have that “just vaccumed” look when you go to view houses. Do you do that with a vaccum, or is there some random tool people use?
and I mean SPECIFICIALLY, HOW (what method) do you use…

Best answer:

Answer by Laura
It’s done with a vaccum cleaner, but it doesn’t work on all carpets. It depends on the pile, and if your carpet doesn’t show the vaccum tracks, it just won’t work.

Q&A: What exactly is the vaccum in outer space?

Question by kingneptune117: What exactly is the vaccum in outer space?
Im really getting into astronomy now and I still dont understand the “vacuum of space”. I hear that if you were to go outside in space without a space suit, you would die (not because you cant breathe, but because of the “vacuum”.) What exactly does this vaccum do? What are its effects on the human body? Is it like an actual vaccum that we use here on earth?

Thanks for your time.

Best answer:

Answer by DER ALTE FIRZ
a vaccum is a vaccum, no matter where it is. The old saying “nature abhors a vaccum” means that anything nearby will try to fill the vaccum. A lot of things would happen to you if you lost your space suit. You’d probably swell up (trying to fill the vaccum) You’d certainly die.

Q&A: 1/2″ tubing extention for aquarium?

Question by karliedee7: 1/2″ tubing extention for aquarium?
HI<
I have 1/2" vinyl tubing connected to the "vacuum" end that I use to clean my aquarium. So I can't just buy more tubing, I need to add it on to the vaccum end. I need more tubing to make it longer to go outside. What is the best way to connect the tubing together? (
Duct tape?
Buy larger tubing to connect together?
Use some kind of clamp?
Thanks a bunch.

Best answer:

Answer by Just Me
There is a coupling fitting made specifically for this sort of thing. You can buy them at the aquarium store or anyplace that sells the vinyl tubing.

They are called tubing connectors. here is a link
