Bush tries to blame Congress for high energy costs
2008-07-12 16:56:00 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Saturday tried to pin the blame on Congress for soaring energy prices and said lawmakers need to lift long-standing restrictions on drilling for oil in pristine lands and offshore tracts believed to hold huge reserves of fuel. “It’s time for members of Congress to address the pain that high gas ...

SUPERNATURAL Fans: Blame Canada!
2008-06-23 14:30:00 Proving once again that violence is never the answer, SUPERNATURAL showrunner Eric Kripke surprised fans today by revealing a far easier way for the Winchester Bros. to save the world from Evil Demons. Buy them a one way ticket to Canada! Turns out that this TV Addict’s very own home base of Canada, or more specifically our surging Dollar is to blame for Ruby’s untimely demise. “She’s [actress Katie Cassidy] great, but this was unfortunately a financial decision — purely budgetary, because creatively she was terrific.” Revealed Eric Kripke in an interview today with TV Guide, “I have nothing but great affection for Katie, and she was great for the show. It was a very difficult business decision about the realities we are in. Though the budget’s the same as last year, the show films in Canada and is suffering from a lousy exchange rate.” And while I applaud Kripke for his honesty. Nobody, especially this self-proclaimed TV Addict likes to be remi...

TN Dems Blame Reps & Fox network over Obama perceptions
2008-06-17 12:46:00 Dawn Teo:Fred Hobbs set off a flurry of sound-bites and interest when he was asked why Representative Lincoln Davis was delaying his endorsement of Senator Barack Obama as the party's nominee for President. Clearly part of the problem is that they just plain haven't gotten to know Senator Obama in Tennessee yet, but the fact is, they handed the extremists among their opponents something to run with in a week when most of the truly bad coverage was about McCain (unless you count the backlash against Megyn and Malkin and the "baby mama" debacle, but they aren't running for office.) Going into the weekend the commentators on the right were anxious for any story to chase the Supreme Court Gitmo decision -- and the crisis of faith it represented -- off the headlines, and Hobbs played Lincoln Davis right into their hands.The Tennessee Democratic Party issued a statement on Friday that the Tennessee Democratic Party is united behind Obama. On Monday, they published the statement on the...
Whoa There, Don?t Blame Me
2008-06-12 20:52:00 For one day, one brief shining moment, I can honestly say ?it?s not my fault,? especially at work. Well HONESTLY saying that might be a stretch, but in light of the fact that Friday the 13th (uh-oh) is ?Blame Someone Else Day,? I can now tell you whose fault it really is. Or whose it might be. Or I?ll just tell you whose fault I am deciding it was based on who I feel like blaming. (Wow, after those last two sentences, I feel like The Grinch taking about the whose and who?s so much. The noise, noise, noise. Sorry) Folks, you gotta like the sound of blaming someone else. Much like Ronald Reagan, we?ll all get to be Teflon coated for the day. This could be my chance to really stand out in the office.I figure (which is a good hint that I?m probably wrong right off the bat) that there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who man-up and take the blame and those who shirk responsibility and blame someone else. I absolutely do not like blaming someone else for something I have or hav...

Who Gets The Blame For The Housing Crisis?
2008-05-20 22:37:00 I recently read an article published May 6, 2008; Page A23 By CYRIL MOULLE-BERTEAUX in The Wall Street Journal titled "The Housing Crisis Is Over". The article said that in the opinion of the author, April of this year was the bottom of the market cycle. Finally, light at the end of the tunnel! So what got us into this "Crisis" in the first place? Well we have all heard the blame going around since the "Crisis" was identified, with the major part of it pointed toward the Sub-prime Mortgages. That is a part of the picture but, if those people's homes would have appreciated, many would never have seen foreclosure. Yes, I know you can't count on property values increasing and that's not what we're discussing here. Most experts trace the start of the housing decline back to the fall of 2005. That's when prices leveled off and the downward trend started. Does anyone remember what else happened then? That's right! A little event in the Gulf of...

Old 97s: Blame It On Gravity
2008-05-15 05:16:00 Old 97s: Blame It On GravityI'm not a big alt-country guy, but something about the Old 97s has always appealed to me. Their seventh studio album, Blame It On Gravity, is their first since releasing their greatest hits album in 2006.Although any fan of the band would probably tell you they are an alt-country band, the band describes themselves as a rock band. It kind of makes sense. When I think alt-country I think Ryan Adams or Lambchop. Compared to those bands, the Old 97s seem like the punk rock version of alt-country.The Old 97s play their music loud and fast for the most part. They mix in a couple slow acoustic numbers, but for the most part their music is up-tempo.On Blame It On Gravity, they take a couple of chance. "She Loves the Sunset" is a whispy number that sounds like Cake covering Jimmy Buffet. "Dance With Me" is basically a rock tango that could've easily been done by Ricky Martin in the 90s.Overall, Blame It One Gravity does not take too many chance. When yo...

Report: Blame GTA IV for more in-game ads
2008-05-14 08:32:00 Take-Two last week proclaimed Grand Theft Auto IV as the "largest launch in the history of interactive entertainment," as the title sold 6 million units globally in its first week, raking in approximately $500 million. Now, a new report from The Economic Times suggests that the scale of GTA IV's sales may push more brands into tapping in on in-game advertising. GTA IV's Mature rating and violent themes may not make it an advertiser's dream. While the game does not offer in-game advertising opportunities, displaying only fictitious brands, its success shows that there is great potential. "The success of GTA IV is the clearest sign yet that video games are going mainstream," Paul Jackson, principal analyst at Forrester told the paper. "They are now capable of challenging the box-office takings of Hollywood blockbusters." Previous studies have shown that in-game ads can be effective, including in increasing brand familiarity, purchase consideration, and ad reca...

At the time, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and his defense minister told the public that Colombian paramilitaries had carried out the raid, murdering the six civilians in cold blood.

Rumsfeld Says The Generals Are To Blame For Poor Pre-War Planning
2008-05-09 16:00:00 By- Suzie-Q @ 7:00 AM MST Rumsfeld blames the generals for poor pre-war planning.» In February 2003, Gen. Eric Shinseki famously predicted that “several hundred thousand” troops would be needed for post-war hostilities in Iraq. According to documents recently released by the Pentagon in response to The New York Times’s expose on its propaganda program, however, Donald Rumsfeld claimed in a 2006 briefing that the reason why he did not support a larger invasion force was because commanders did not request it: RUMSFELD: Now, it turns out he [Shinkseki] was right. The commanders–you guys ended up wanting roughly the same as you had for the major combat operation, and that’s what we have. There is no damned guidebook that says what the number ought to be. We were queued up to go up to what, 400-plus thousand. Q: Yes, they were already in queue. RUMSFELD: They were in the queue. We would have gone right on if they’d wanted them, but they didn’t, so life goes on. In reality,...
