South Carolina Governor Sanford disappeared again yesterday. This time his aides say that his wife is with him. They refused to say where the Governor is. They might be on the Appalachian Trail, but I think they went to Argentina.

BLOVIATORS - MEDIA & POLITICIAN
To bloviate means "to speak pompously and excessively" or "to expound ridiculously". A colloquial verb coined in the United States, it is commonly used with contempt to describe the behavior of politicians, academics, pundits or media "experts," sometimes called bloviators, who hold forth on subjects in an arrogant, tiresome way.
The top MEDIA BLOVIATORS are ( in alphabetical order) :
GLENN BECK, ANN COULTER, SEAN HANNITY, former Gov. BILL HUCKABEE, RUSH LIMBAUGH, MICHELLE MALKIN, BILL O'REILLY and former BUSH sidekick KARL ROVE. All but one of them is a listed contributor to FOX NEWS NETWORK. Surprise, surprise ! There are of course a number of bloviators at other networks, but they have not reached the level of entertainment as those listed.
The top POLITICAL BLOVIATORS are ( in alphabetical order ) :
REPUBLICANS :
Rep. JOHN BOEHNER, Rep. ERIC CANTOR, former V.P. DICK CHENEY, former Gov. BILL HUCKABEE and former BUSH sidekick KARL ROVE.
DEMOCRATS :
There are of course many Democrat bloviators, ( Barney Frank & Chris Dodd for example ), but they have yet to reach the level of in-your-face bloviation as the listed Republicans. Boehner and Cheney in particular have raised bloviation to an art form.
Thats the truth, look it up.

KARL ROVE AND DOMESTIC POLICY MANIPULATION
"Rove always believed that with the right mix of legislation and presidential leadership, constituencies could be moved from the Democratic to the Republican column, much like pieces on a chessboard. Atlantic reporter Josh Green identifies five policy initiatives that Rove thought would create a Republican majority and that he and George W. Bush decided to pursue: establishing educational standards, pursuing faith-based initiatives, reforming immigration laws, creating health savings accounts and privatizing Social Security. Thus would the Republicans destroy teachers unions, mobilize the moralists and win over Hispanics. Thus would they break the link between the American people and government programs and create a world in which Americans' well-being and security depended almost entirely on the markets."

KARL ROVE on "CZARS"
One of the latest buzzwords out of the conservative side is "CZAR". It is amazing to me that they want to make an issue of this since it was George W. Bush and Karl Rove that made the use of Czars a science. The following statement is a concise, well documented snippet from Kyle Schmidt.
Ed
"It is surprising that Rove finds the appointment of czars to be “a giant expansion of presidential power” because he actually served as the “domestic policy czar” in the Bush White House. In fact, President Bush himself appointed numerous czars in order to deal with various public crises and controversies, including a “cybersecurity czar,” “regulatory czar,” “AIDS czar,” “bird-flu czar” and “Katrina czar.” Moreover, Rove’s criticism of Obama is ironic, given his role in an administration that was marked by the expansion of executive power."

LIES & LIARS
1. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, Ohio said this past weekend on Fox News that the promised stimulus money for road projects has been too slow to materialize. He said no projects are under way in his home state.
But the GAO reported that of $935.7 million in highway infrastructure funding that is supposed to go to Ohio, $384 million has been set aside for various projects and, as of June 25, the state had awarded contracts for 52 projects, totaling $92.1 million.
Johnathon Riskind, The Columbus Dispatch
2. Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska quit her job on July 3rd . Three days later she said "I am not a quitter."
In a speech July 3rd. announcing her resignation, Sarah Palin said she had "spent too much time defending" against legal and media attacks. On July 4th., she threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against Shannyn Moore, an Alaskan blogger.3. Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina told his staff that he would be somewhere on the Appalachian Trail. He then flew to Argentina to see his mistress.
4. Sen. John Ensign of Nevada said today that his parents had given his former mistress and her husband and two of their children a GIFT of $96,000 "out of concern for the well being of longtime family friends during a difficult time."5. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the CIA had lied to her about the use of torture. The Republicans called her a liar. Now the CIA comes forward and says they may have not told the truth on occasion. House Minority Leader John Boehner then says Pelosi needs to prove that she is not a liar.
All politicians are skilled at warping the truth.
More snippets as they become available.

OHIO GOVERNOR TO CUT LIBRARY FUNDING
Governor’s Budget Proposal cuts the Public Library Fund by 50%
The Governor’s proposed state budget is considering a 50% cut to the Public Library Fund. These cuts far exceed the expected 20% reduction in revenue we are currently experiencing at Community Library in Sunbury, Ohio.
We need you to ACT NOW! Let your legislators know that these cuts will force the closure of many of Ohio's public libraries, including ours.
We cannot afford to lose half of our libraries at a time when people need them most.
Because library funding is a percentage of the state’s general revenue fund, as the economy has faltered, so has library funding. The library is already facing a 20% reduction in funding this year alone. To adjust to this loss in revenue, Community Library has reduced supply expenditures by 27%, reduced contracted services by 3%, implemented time
off without pay for all staff, reduced material purchases, and reduced program offerings.
What can you do to ensure that Community Library in Sunbury will remain open?
Contact your legislators NOW to voice your strong opposition to further cuts to library funding!
The Governor's proposed funding cuts come at a time when Ohio's public libraries are experiencing unprecedented increases in demands for services. In every community throughout the state, Ohioans are turning to their public libraries for free high speed Internet to access information on employment opportunities, children and teens are
beginning summer reading programs, and people of all ages are turning to the library for information and entertainment.
Ohio's public libraries offer critical services to those looking for jobs and operating small businesses. Public libraries are an integral part of education, which Governor Strickland says is critical to the state's economic recovery. But it is unlikely that many of Ohio's public library systems, especially those without local levies, can remain open with these proposed cuts.
On June 30, the Ohio General Assembly will decide whether or not to accept the Governor's proposal. We cannot allow that to happen. We cannot wait. Email or phone the Governor and our state legislators to voice your strong opposition to further cutting public library funding by moving money out of the general revenue fund. There is no time for letters. This is a drastic measure proposed by the Governor and it will
require a dramatic and immediate response from library supporters.
Following is contact information for the governor and our legislators.
The presence of the library in our community can no longer be assumed.
Please call or email our legislators to ensure that Community Library will survive this crisis.
