Gingrich falsely touted GOP governors of Utah and Indiana for "lowest unemployment rates in their respective regions"

During the November 16 broadcast of CBS' Face the Nation, former House Speaker and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich said that Republicans "who are about to face this question of, how do you get the economy growing again" should ask Republican governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana and Jon Huntsman of Utah, "[H]ow did they get to the lowest unemployment rate in their respective regions?" However, the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics records show that Gingrich's claim is false. In fact, neither Utah nor Indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in its region, and several states with lower unemployment rates are governed by Democrats. In Utah -- defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as part of the Western Region -- the unemployment rate was 3.5 percent in September, higher than that of Wyoming, which had an unemployment rate of 3.3 percent under Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal. Indiana -- defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as part of the Midwest Region -- had an unemployment rate of 6.2 percent in September, ranking eighth out of 12 Midwestern states. Iowa (4.2 percent), Kansas (4.8 percent), Minnesota (5.9 percent), Nebraska (3.5 percent), North Dakota (3.6 percent), South Dakota (3.2 percent), and Wisconsin (5 percent) all posted lower unemployment rates than Indiana's in September. Three of those states -- Iowa, Kansas, and Wisconsin -- have Democratic governors. From the November 16 edition of CBS' Face the Nation: LOUISIANA GOV. BOBBY JINDAL (R): Oh, well, sure, no -- I think it's great that Sarah Palin is speaking out. I think it's great that the governors that the speaker mentioned were -- are speaking out. I think the future -- I think the governors are gonna play a great role. And I think that, you know, our folks in Washington are gonna have important work to do, but I don't think all the answers and wisdom are gonna be in Washington, D.C. So, I think it's a great thing that she's speaking out. I think we're - BOB SCHIEFFER (host): How do you feel about that -- JINDAL: -- going to need multiple governors. SCHIEFFER: How do you feel about that, Mr. Gingrich? GINGRICH: I mean, first of all, Governor Palin is a real asset to the Republican Party. She brought enormous energy to the party. She attracted very large crowds. But I would say, for example, to the Republicans who are about to face this question of, how do you get the economy growing again? Bring in Governor [Mitch] Daniels [R-IN] and bring in Governor [Jon] Huntsman [R-UT], and ask them, you know, how did they get to the lowest unemployment rate in their respective regions? Go back to a principled approach. If you don't understand health care, you can do a lot worse than to bring in Bobby Jindal who, maybe, may well know more about health policy than any other elected official in America and is doing an extraordinary job in Louisiana. If you want to look at education reform, you can look at Governor [Sonny] Perdue in Georgia, you can look at Governor Haley Barbour in Mississippi. There are a lot of people doing smart things. The natural pattern in the news media is gonna be they know how to spell Sarah Palin's name. They've got it locked in their word processor. She's gonna be a much bigger story in the short run. But, I think, as she goes back to being governor, and as she works in Alaska, you're gonna see a group of governors emerge -- not just Sarah Palin. And there are 36 governorships up in 2010. And I think focusing on rebuilding the Republican Party from state legislature and governor to Senate and House is the right model. And I think that the Republican Governors Association is probably more important than the Republican National Committee in trying to get this done. SCHIEFFER: So, you do not see her as the de facto leader of the party at this point? GINGRICH: No, she's a wonderfully intelligent, aggressive, hard-working person who got, you know, hammered very badly by the press.

Jackson Hole townhouse for SF apartment 2bd

My own private Idaho

My own private Idaho We're here in Pocatello getting some work done at Doctor D's on the 2001 Dodge Ram 3500. I'm loving "working" with the mechanics. They both own Dodge Rams, one the same year and one a year younger than mine. I found Doctor D's a few weeks ago when I stopped on the way to Jackson, Wyoming at the Jiffy Lube down the street and the manager there noticed a leak in our water pump as we moved up to the bay door and sent us to these guys with a good recommendation. The Jiffy Lube manager didn't get a client that day and he knew we'd get our oil changed at Doctor D's. We were on our way in two hours. Cool. I love being in small towns and Idaho is great. For the most part the people I meet appear happy and friendly. I did "meet" some folks driving down the main street in the "old town" who felt that bicycles didn't belong on the street. Yes, there are uneducated yahoos around. It's getting into the upper seventies here (a bit warmer than Jackson) and there are plenty of biking (and thereby exercising) opportunities. Mountain biking seems to be big here (http://www.isu.edu/outdoor/mtbike.htm and http://www.isu.edu/~nickbenj/bike/). There are plenty of mountains. It looks like they are into encouraging outdoor activities here: http://www.endurancefestival.com/. Of course, it is not too far from here to King Mountain, http://www.flykingmountain.com/, http://www.geocities.com/kingmtngliders/  and http://paraglideidaho.com/King Mountain.htm. On flying there.

Competition, you can join in the fun

Competition, you can join in the fun http://moosecross.blogspot.com/ Don't worry this article will relate to hang gliding competition sooner or later. Last week I entered two competitions. One was billed as just sort of a ride, so I didn't know for sure that it was in fact a race until I got there. The other I knew was a race and a race of a kind that I had yet to learn about. I got notified of the races at the Fitzgerald Bicycle Shop in Jackson and encouraged to go to them. Just sort of, heh, these are cool things, you should go. Okay, I thought, perhaps. Last Wednesday evening I rode out to the bottom of Spring Gulch Road just west of Jackson and east of Wilson, Wyoming where it meets highway 22 (the busiest highway in Wyoming). Road racers were already milling around waiting for the 5:30 PM start. I didn't exactly fit in in my Wills Wing tee-shirt, bike shorts that hide the Lycra, and twenty five year old modified Davidson roadie. Besides I wasn't a local, that's for sure. I had brought my "second" road bike, the one with straight handle bars instead of drop bars, and 32 mm tires instead of 23 mm ones, because I knew that there would be four miles of washboared gravel road at the end of the 26 mile ride and I wanted to be able to ride fast and sure through it without getting my tires pinched. Still that left me with a bit slower bike and a harder ride for the first 22 miles. Not to mention that I looked quite a bit out of it. Sort of like bringing a king posted glider to a hang gliding competition. Well, all these guys knew each other and they probably all go on the Tuesday evening ride (6 PM from the Jackson junior high school) and very soon after we start I'm way behind the peloton. But I'm cranking away at my speed and enjoying the beautiful road, even as it gets a bit rough as the pavement goes away. About five miles into it, a couple of women riders, who started late pass me and I start sucking the wheel of one of them. This gives me an extra two miles an hour, so that I can maintain 16 mph as we slowly climb to Moose. Pitiful, but at least I'm hanging in there. They ignore me completely. Old guy on a ragged bike. We round Moose and start going a lot faster heading now down stream back to Teton Village. We even pass a moose grazing next to the road, which is pretty cool. I've been breathing hard most of the ride, but I don't seem to care that much, so I just push as hard as I can to stay up with these women. Finally we get to the gravel and the road really is terrible, much worse than I remembered it, but now I've got the bike that can take it on. I race down hill, get on the gravel and I never see the two riders who helped me get here as fast (or slow) as I did again. I make it to the Teton Village, but almost everyone has dispersed (I'm only a few minutes behind) and the race ends in a small no host dinner (which I don't attend) at the Mangee Moose to give out the trophies. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride/race and it got me what I wanted, which was another opportunity to ride and get some exercise and see some nice country. The next evening at 6 PM I'm at the bottom of Snow King Ski Area in Jackson attending a clinic on cyclo-cross racing. See here and here for explanations of what cyclo-cross racing is. I really had little idea of exactly what I was getting into in the upcoming race on Saturday in Victor, Idaho, just across the Teton Pass. But I was here to learn something about the techniques involved. The Colorado state champion from the previous season (September is the start of the season as this is a winter/wet/cold/muddy sport) taught us how to mount and dismount the bike, in order to be able to run/jump over the barriers/hurdles. Seems like there would be a number of those in the course. We also learned how to carry the bike over the 18" high barriers. It was all pretty straight forward. I had brought my Davidson bike again, as it looked to me to be the closest thing that I had to a cyclo-cross bike, but it was no match for the specifically designed bikes that I saw at the clinic. Still, what did it matter? I was learning something at this clinic and joining in the fun with a dozen others, some on mountain bikes. I knew mountain bikers were encouraged to join the competition. After the clinic I ride my bike the seven miles back to Wilson and I'm not at all sure that I will sign up for the race. I'm worried that the bike won't be able to handle the course. I'm not sure if I'll have to wear my leg brace or not. All these guys are twenty to thirty years younger. Still I sign up a few minutes before the advanced registration closes at 10 PM Thursday night, after all it's only twenty bucks, and I get a free beer glass with the Moose Crossing logo and a free ticket to Oktoberfest at the pub across the street from the race. Friday night and I can hardly sleep, which is common for me before a competition. I'm concerned about whether I should switch bikes. The cyclo-cross bikes have much wider tires than the ones on my Davidson. I'm worried about whether I will screw up my knee. I'm not certain which race I should race in, masters or beginners. In the morning it's completely overcast and raining, lightly, and, cold, of course. Looks like I won't be going racing after all. Perfect cyclo-cross weather, but not for me. Then at 10:30 the sun comes out. I decide that it's time to go racing after all, even though I'm a little late. I pull the pedals off my Trek 4500 cross country mountain bike and replace them with the Shimano clipless pedals from my Davidson. I also pull off the bottle cages, throw the bike in the back of the truck and we head off over the pass. I get there just in time to do one lap of the race course. I'm pleased to find out that I won't have to wear the brace. I think I can manage to keep from tearing my ACL's. The wind is blowing 20 mph out of the south east. The race is set for forty minutes. The number of laps is determined by the leader. The judges determine how fast the leader is completing the course and set the number of laps after he completes two or three laps. When the leader finishes you stop the next time you cross the finish line. The riders line up six abreast for my race and only one other of the riders has a mountain bike and his is a lot like a cyclo-cross bike. This is the masters class (both plus 35 and plus 45 classes together) and it's pretty clear right away that there are a lot of younger, experienced and fast riders in this race. Maybe I should have waited until the beginners race. The gun sounds and we're off pumping hard to get to the single track and the Chicanes, which really slow us down as we turn sharply in the dust. I start off behind and pretty much stay there. Coming out of the Chicanes, there is big push from the tail wind that really spreads us out. Going back into the Chicanes after going once around the track we are slowed down to a crawl into the wind. The race is great fun with lots of jumps and banking turns in the dirt. We run through sprinklers on the edge of the golf course and soon we are covered with mud. The barriers are easy to run over just using the techniques that we learned on Thursday night. In the end I come in second to last in front of an overweight 60 year old. I got lapped twice by the winner who lapped the rest of the field once. Belinda and I hang around and watch the rest of the races. The beginner women are next and only the fastest women have cyclo-cross bikes, most have mountain bikes. It's obvious that almost everyone is new to this. One of the women  is cycling in tennis shoes, which really slows her down. The beginner men are up next, and again there are lots of mountain bikes and cyclists without Lycra (Lycra makes it much easier to get back on the bike). I should have joined in a second race. So, as I trust you can see, competition can be fun and it doesn't matter how well you do. Get out there and enjoy yourself. Try something new. Most hang gliding competitions have Sport Class that allows you to fly with your king posted glider. Discuss Competition at the Oz Report forum   link»

Wolves Win: Bush Administration Backs Down, for Now

Feds Drop Efforts Against Wolves in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming

Indian Summer at 6,200'

Indian Summer at 6,200' Unlike most of the time that we've spent here (Jackson Hole, Wyoming) since leaving the US "nationals" in Lakeview (we got here August 25th) the last three days have been very quiet, i.e. light winds. They have also been warm in the mid seventies to eighties. Great of bicycling, which is what I'm up to, and good for soaring. Two days ago. I saw Walt, a local pilot, through the trees off Tiki and Bart's porch north of Wilson. At first I just caught a glimpse of something and wasn't sure if it was an Osprey (there are plenty here, but they are now heading south) or something else. Checking it out more closely I saw the red undersurface and road my bike to find him in the LZ. He wasn't there, so Bart and I went on a chase and found out that he had landed up on the bench. Later we picked Walt up on the way back up to his truck as we ferried downhill bikes to the top of the single track at Phillips above Bart' place. Walt hadn't been able to stay up in the light lift, but he had spotted a paraglider at 11,000' over the Teton Village a few miles to the north. The higher launch there makes it easier to get up. Next year the tram will be finished being replaced and hang glider pilots will be able to get their gliders to the top. Today was the best looking day yet. Clear in the morning, but high cu's over Phillips and other mountains in the Tetons in the afternoon. Very quiet with no winds all day, and it looked like a perfect day to fly in these very steep and high mountains. Packwood Bob headed out on Monday. Catch him next at Wallaby Ranch towing over the winter. He's hoping that the winter in Florida this coming season won't be like the last one where you could only fly two days a week. Luke Waters, a paraglider pilot here, is taking lessons from Bart and Tiki and maybe he'll make it down to Florida this winter. He's hoping to solo this weekend. He's thinking about becoming a tug pilot. He has a background in general aviation. He also took Bart and I on the downhill run letting us borrow bikes from Wilson Backcountry Sports. This evening I joined a short ride (less than 23 miles) from just west of Jackson up to Moose and then down to the Teton Village (where the paraglider took off). We in fact did see and ride by a moose that was eating grasses in the wetlands next to the road. View Larger Map We leave here on Tuesday morning heading to Boise, Idaho and then south to Spark, NV, and onward from there. Discuss Indian summer at the Oz Report forum   link»

Liddy again falsely claimed Obama does not "have a birth certificate to show that he was born in Hawaii"

On the September 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, G. Gordon Liddy falsely claimed of Sen. Barack Obama: "[T]here's others who say he was born, you know, in Kenya. And I don't have a birth certificate from Kenya to show that he was, but neither does he have a birth certificate to show that he was born in Hawaii, either." In fact, as Media Matters for America has repeatedly documented, in addition to posting a copy of Obama's birth certificate on the campaign website, the Obama campaign reportedly provided the original to FactCheck.org, whose staff said in an August 21 article that they "have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate," and concluded that the document does, in fact, exist, and that it "meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship." Further, even right-wing website WorldNetDaily.com reported in an August 23 article that a "WND investigation into Obama's birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic." As Media Matters has noted, on the August 26 broadcast of his show, Liddy also falsely asserted: "[W]e still don't have a birth certificate for Obama. There are claims that he was actually born in Kenya." From the September 15 broadcast of Radio America's The G. Gordon Liddy Show: CALLER: Good morning. LIDDY: Good morning, Greg. CALLER: I understand you've spent some time in Arizona. Whereabouts do you -- did you -- LIDDY: I have a home on the Gainey Ranch. CALLER: I'll be darned. I'll be darned. A beautiful place. We've moved here about eight months ago and we absolutely love it. LIDDY: It is gorgeous. I love it, too, and I'm out there whenever I can. CALLER: Yep. Anyway, tell you why I was calling. Earlier, in the late part of the last hour, you said something about Barack Obama -- he couldn't prove where he was born, and neither can we. That was your comment, and I thought that was monumental, in the sense that I got a passport for the first time five years ago, and I had to go through a whole week to -- 'cause I had lost it, and I had to get another one. And then, finally, I got it with the embossed seal, and sent it off, so it cost me about $45. Sent it off, and got it back returned, along with my passport. But it was a lengthy procedure -- LIDDY: Yes. Hmm-mm. CALLER: -- and it seems like the -- perhaps one of the top two or three things that a candidate would have to do would -- if there's any doubt at all -- is prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. LIDDY: Well, if somebody raises it. I don't know why it hasn't been, you know, seriously raised. I think there is a lawsuit that has been filed, but I don't know what -- you know, what progress it has or has not made, but the only thing that they've offered is -- and Obama hasn't offered it -- the Daily Kos, that left-wing blog, offered a Photoshopped -- a much-Photoshopped -- copy of a certificate of live birth, which is not something -- it's not a birth certificate. It simply states that so-and-so was born alive here in Hawaii. But the serial number on it is redacted, blanked out. And that's because some people have suggested that it was actually the Photoshopped version -- CALLER: Right. LIDDY: -- of the one from his half-sister, or something of that sort. And then there's others who say he was born, you know, in Kenya. And I don't have a birth certificate from Kenya to show that he was, but neither does he have a birth certificate to show that he was born in Hawaii, either. CALLER: Well, why -- then all -- shouldn't everything stop at this point until he provides -- isn't the -- I guess the question is, to distill it down, isn't the burden of proof squarely on his shoulders? Or -- LIDDY: It is if it's challenged. And I -- I've heard that there was a lawsuit filed, but I don't know, you know, what has become of it. CALLER: And last question, could this possibly be what we hear about in terms of an October surprise, and if it were the case, isn't it a possibility that Hillary would know that this is the case, and she would obviously step right in at that point at the train wreck that would occur? It would be a messy thing, but she would be the logical one if you take this thing to its conclusion. LIDDY: Well, I think if she had that information and she had that proof, she would have used it by now, because the -- you know -- she would want a period of time for the dust to settle, and for her to campaign, and she hasn't done that. So, I would say while it's a possibility, it's not a probability. CALLER: But it seems like this issue, even if he were to be elected president, and even if he weren't, it was -- continued to be a senator, it doesn't seem like this thing will ever, or should ever go away, until it's resolved one way or the other. LIDDY: Well, you're right. I mean, it should be being resolved now. CALLER: Right. LIDDY: I mean, if there is a formal challenge in court, then that's certainly the way to proceed. And it would be in the United States courts, and we'll just have to wait and see what happens. CALLER: OK. Thank you very much. LIDDY: You're welcome, sir. All right, let's go to Wyoming and Cathy.
