No, Pelosi, YOU Show Us the Jobs

Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not take up the Senate’s “doc fix” bill, which passed through the Senate on Friday. A letter from Pelosi reaffirms her position and scolds Republicans for blocking the jobs portion of the bill:
“What is it that Republicans in the Senate and House don’t understand about the need for jobs in America? I see no reason to pass this inadequate bill until we see jobs legislation coming out of the Senate. House Democrats are saying to Republicans in the Senate: Show us the jobs!”
It’s humorous to hear Pelosi whine on this–if my memory is correct the Democrats control both Chambers and passed the $787 billion stimulus bill to create ” jobs, jobs, jobs.” More than one year later, we now know that the “stimulus failed,” and a second $17 billion stimlus/jobs bill was passed–which somehow still is not enough.

Secretary of Energy Steven Chu (AP).
Times have changed. As the Obama administration pursues a new moratorium on offshore drilling in reaction to the BP oil spill, a video circulating on YouTube shows it wasn’t too long ago that a future administration official looked to BP to “save the world.”
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who was working at UC Berkeley at the time, says in the 2007 video, “There’s been a lot of excitement that’s been growing over the last several years and now with partnering with BP we will have the resources to actually carry out some of the things we want to do in order to help save the world.”
Boy Scouts Win Battle in Court

UPDATE:
A Philadelphia jury has ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts, meaning they will not be evicted from their home or forced to pay rent, at least for now.
Outside the courthouse, a lawyer for the Boy Scouts, Jason Gosselin, told Fox News the Scouts won on the most important issue, that of First Amendment rights. The jury found the city posed an unconstitutional condition on the organization by asking it to pay $200,000 annual rent on property it was leasing for a dollar a year, in a building the Scouts built and paid for themselves, all because the city felt the Scouts were in violation of Philadelphia’s anti-discrimination laws.
Obama’s ‘two fathers’ reference inappropriate
OneNewsNow
Pro-family organizations are outraged over President Obama’s Father’s Day proclamation that they claim pushes his homosexual agenda.
In his official June 18 proclamation honoring fathers, the president acknowledged that “nurturing families come in many forms” — and in that list he included “two fathers.” Peter Sprigg, senior fellow for policy studies at the Family Research Council (FRC), tells OneNewsNow the president should have used the proclamation to celebrate the existence of fathers in the lives of their children rather than promote a controversial political and social agenda.
“If he’s going to mention the partner of a father at all, it should be to note that children do best with their own married mother and father, and the best thing that a father can do for his child is to marry the mother of that child,” says the FRC spokesman.
Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, also takes issue with Obama’s reference to same-sex parents, calling it a “sad day for the American family” when the president of the country uses the occasion as an excuse to promote what he describes as the “radical homosexual agenda.”
The Pot Doctor is In
Legalized Marijuana

“What do you need to do to be able to be legalized? — see a doctor — that’s it? — yeah”
For all intents and purposes, marijuana is already legal here in California. Take the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk where we sit now, customers wander past sandwich-board signs with cannabis leaves painted prominently and college-aged kids encourage any and all to come on it and “see the cannabis doctor.”
According to one kid holding a sign on the street who offered me to enter, “It’s basically already legal. It’s very easy to go through the process and we are out here, picking people off the street to go into the doctor’s office. It’s not like they really have to look very hard to find to get it.”
