and look st this lying sack of shit. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Sequester means my staff can’t afford to eat [iframe width="338" height="192" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6QpzDwDO9dM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"][/iframe] And then cue the tiny violins: Now House officials are looking at an additional 8.2 percent cut, or about $100,000. Total cut over three years: nearly 20 percent. “If it’s a $100,000 reduction in your [allowance] you really need to start preparing for a staff change,” said Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va. “That’s a whole person!” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said Congress has had to reduce constituent services because of the sequester. “We’re really starting to see the effects of that in our office,” she said. The cuts have also affected the quality of life for congressional aides, said Wasserman Schultz, whose defense of Capitol Hill staffers amid budget cuts has won her unofficial den mother status among many. At the hearing, for example, she said prices of meals in House restaurants are getting so high that aides are being “priced out” of a good meal. What’s happening? The negative economic impact of the disastrous policies of Wasserman-Schultz, Moran and their congressional colleagues aren’t supposed to affect them. I’m assuming that any suggestions would fall on deaf ears — you know, a side effect of the starvation and all — but an effort has been made: At the carry-out cafe in the Cannon Office Building, where Wasserman Schultz has her office, you can get an 8oz bowl of Ham and Bean soup for $2. You can buy gourmet sandwiches and wraps for around $5. Both of these are cheaper than I can get at delis down the street from my house. Her aides could walk across the street to the Longworth Building, which has a large sit-down cafeteria. Today, it is featuring a roasted stuffed Chicken, with asparagus and mashed potatoes, for around $7. Or, one could opt for a heaping 12oz bowl of Chicken Chili for $3. There is also the tried and true method enjoyed by millions of workers around the country: a brown-bag lunch. Bipartisan offers of help for Team DWS are pouring in. Via Twitchy: #SaveTheStaffers

Did Obama Steal The Election With Hagel’s Help? JANUARY 16, 2013 BY KRIS ZANE 79 COMMENTS Chuck Hagel has been tapped by Obama for Secretary of Defense, which has resulted in a slew of push backs over his troubling record: criticism and lack of support for Israel; coddling of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran; and his almost immediate appointment after retiring as a senator to Deutsche Bank’s Americas Advisory Board, the mega bank that has been accused of funneling billions of dollars to Iran’s nuclear program. But the most troubling aspect of Chuck Hagel is the fact that he may have stolen both of his senatorial elections. In 1992, Hagel was CEO of Election Systems & Software, maker of computerized voting machines. On March 15, 1995, Hagel resigned as CEO but kept millions in stock options and declared that he was going to run for the U.S. Senate in Nebraska. Although he was a virtually unknown candidate; although he ran against a former governor, Ben Nelson, who was hugely popular; and although all the polls prior to the election indicated Ben Nelson would win the election, oddly Hagel won by a landslide with 83% of the vote. It later turned out that Hagel’s voting machines had been used in virtually all of the precincts. When Hagel ran for reelection in 2006, his previous landslide of 83% was eclipsed by an even wider margin. [iframe id="google_ads_iframe_/11156719/WCJ_Right_Sidebar_300x250_0" name="google_ads_iframe_/11156719/WCJ_Right_Sidebar_300x250_0" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" src="" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-width: 0px;"][/iframe] It turns out that Hagel’s former company, Election Systems & Software/Diebold now counts the votes in most elections. And it turns out Hagel’s voting machines have been embroiled in investigations of hacking and vote-switching that continue to this day. Did Barack Obama win the presidential elections the same way Hagel won his senatorial seat? And is this Secretary of Defense position payback for the favor? Americans should demand to see each and every vote cast for both Chuck Hagel and Barack Obama. Now.
