Again Jon Stewart points out things the real news missed

Obama still hasn't filled the office of director of TSA.



They have an acting director. It's not like there's no one in charge.

I wonder why the Senate hasn't gotten around to it... perhaps it's been
the
obstructionism going on by the Republicans, who are continually
threatening
the filibuster, even with Defense bills? Nah, couldn't be that...


The TSA is an executive branch department. Obama has to appoint the
director.
I am not even sure they have to be ratified by the senate at that
level. It would be a rubber stamp thing anyway.


It's an appointment and it needs to be approved by the senate. It's being
held up, as I said, by the right-wing.

If you're not sure, look it up instead of guessing.

plume du BS what do you not understand about a 58 to 40 democrat majority
in the senate?

Dumb democrats can't agree amongst themselves is more like it. Probably
some dim wants pork to support it.


You're the dimwit, apparently:

Given the senate is democratic majority, it must be democratic infighting
for pork spending. No one thinks the position is worth the pork.


No. That's wishful thinking on your part.

Let's be thankful we control both houses. Can you imagine Mr. Obama
trying to work with a republican Congress?

At least until 2010 elections.... and hopefully the congress will change
to a more conserative leaning with more integrity than the current pork
loving democrats.

Mind you, I am sure Obama will find an excuse...


Yeah more integrity... now that's funny!

You have touched on the truth of the matter. Everyone ended up being
exempt. I was still living in the belly of the beast in 1981. There
was some shuffling around but they never actually "Reduced" the
"Force".

BTW wasn't it Reagan who privatized the USPS and actually made it
competitive with Fed-x and UPS? I use the mail a lot these days and
they actually provide superior service at a lower cost. Try Click n
ship. You can print (or Email someone) the PDF of a shipping label,
put it on the box and the post man will pick it up for around half of
what Fed-x/UPS charges.
I use click n ship several times a month.


USPS is going broke. They're cheap, but certainly not great. We use them
100s of times a month. They're not very good with pickups, and I suppose
they're better than the others, but the loss/damage rate is pretty high.
Dealing with them on the phone is trying to say the least. Fedex and UPS
have their own problems, mostly to do with cost and delivery.

That must be a local problem. I have lost more with UPS than USPS.



Try calling the 800 number if you have a problem.. as I said, they're going
broke.

OK that was easy, there is no hit on TSA confirmation on Thomas.
There has not been a bill with those words introduced in the senate or
the house.
Now back to you. Who's confirmation IS being held up?


The Senate. Try again.


Cite that. What is the person's name?

OK it is Erroll Southers and his confirmation is still hung up in the
Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. That is chaired
by Jay Rockefeller (D WV) and he is the one who is still asking
questions of Southers.
It has to be noted that you can't filibuster a committee so the idea
that this is anything but bureaucratic screw up has to be
acknowledged.


Did you even read the article? Sheesh.

I'll bet you two mooks have no idea of the reasons behind the ban
against soldiers having weapons in their personal possession on military
bases.

Possibly so. Now, concerning the rug-munching, I would suppose that is
an option?
