Just saw WaPo's Jennifer Rubin on TV laying out Obama's five reversals (so far) on action against Syria for chem weapons. Then she pointed out that, depending what Congress does, and whether Obama heeds them, there could me more reversals to come.

Amateur hour is on full display to the world. Nobody respects the U.S., and everybody is starting to move weapons and point weapons at each other while we waver.

Three were accurate? That seems high. I've never seen an accurate model.

Forgive me for being a cynic again, but history shows us that deals with China usually work like this:

1) We provide them with technology.
2) We pay them money to set up manufacturing and incorporate said technology into products.
3) We buy the products from them.
4) Long-term "deal" is a commitment to purchase products from them at an agreed upon level to support their profitability.
5) Lots and lots of taxpayer money spent on meetings, travel, and "fact-finding" junkets with 5-star accomodations for California politicians, including mayors with inferior intellects. This part will go on entirely self-motivated, whether any physical deal is reached or not.
6) Technology will be obsolete or unwanted by the marketplace by the time it is ready, and will only be purchased when taxpayers foot a large portion of the bill via subsidies.
7) Businesses will be set up by connected political donors, suck up taxpayer money in the form of grants and subsidies, then go bankrupt after the owners have increased their wealth and power.

Have I missed anything?

The climate will continue to follow it's natural cycles, unaffected by the best efforts of corrupt "green" pork barrel politicians.

The Cult Of Obama still runs strong. Either you believe, or you should die. How different is she from the Al-Shabab killers in Kenya shooting mall shoppers who can't name Mohammed's mother? They use bullets, but this dimmicat wants us to die a slow death locked outside the hospital doors. Actor Nick Searcy lays into her.

the communications chair for the Sacramento Dems wished death upon Amanda Carpenter’s children. Her crime? Working for Sen. Ted Cruz. The cretinous Brauer was subsequently forced to resign.

Now Stephanie Handler, who works for University of California, San Francisco, ups the the repugnant by wishing death on all Obamacare “nonbelievers.” Not only reprehensible, but oh-how-creepy — “nonbelievers.”

P.S. This reminds me of the professor who called for the death penalty for global warming "deniers". And others, such as Prof. Lewandowsky and John Cook, associating "deniers" with conspiracy theory nuts and mental illness. Al Gore compared people who question his alarmist global warming assertions to racists, homophobes, and slavery supporters. And the father of global warming theory, NASA's own Prof. James Hansen, called for producers of carbon-based energy to be arrested and put on trial for “high crimes against humanity.” The typical punishment for crimes against humanity is death.

Here are some ideas from bimmerfest.com:

There was a service bulletin released pertaining to a faulty windshield cowl cover. The cowl lifts and allows water to drip ontop of the AC blower motor and into the passenger footwell. In severe cases, it will also leak into the driver side footwell.

The AC blower motor bearings rust, cause squeaking noises, then eventually the bearings seize and the motor fails. Both the cowl cover and AC motor are covered under warranty. However, I don't believe the AC motor is covered under CPO.

If you only have water in the driver's side, it's most likely a bad door seal.

Another culprit can be the sunroof drains.

The TSB will cover your cowl under CPO if you VIN falls under the service bulletin.

You can easily check if you have an issue if you see any gap between the windshield glass, and the rubber seal, on the plastic cowl cover.

In my case, a trim piece running along the bottom edge of the windshield was missing. It was either never replaced after being serviced at the dealer, or it was never installed from the factory. There was a noticeable 1/2" gap in the center of the cowl.

Ok guys, I think I may be onto something here. I poured some water in the driver side cowl drain, and I see some water then running towards where the the wires/cables enter the driver side foot well, see picture. It seems to be leaking from the inner corner of the drain, see picture. I am thinking about putting a bead of silicone in the corner of the cowl drain see if it gets any better.

Yeah man! Amazing comeback. It looked so lopsided in the early races, then great race after great race. I can't wait for tomorrow's finale.

More "toned-down rhetoric" over the last day from the party of hope and change:

And as a bonus, the biggest lie of the week, a real Pelosiism:

Sen. Barbara Boxer Claims Obama “Cut The Deficit In Half”, “He Rescued Us!”

Thanks, Rod. It was encouraging to hear them privately agree that "we're going to win this" if they stick to their message.

Social Security Administration employees are being instructed to tell people who ask that if the debt ceiling is not raised, their social security benefits could be in danger.

In an email sent Friday, obtained by The Daily Caller, employees are instructed:


“If a member of the public asks whether their Social Security payment will be affected if the federal debt ceiling is not raised, you may give the following response:
‘Unlike a federal shutdown which has no impact on the payment of Social Security benefits, failure to raise the debt ceiling puts Social Security benefits at risk.’


“Direct all program–related and technical questions to your supervisor.”
