All the media, including much of the Right, seem to have it all wrong. Obama is not incompetent much as Jimmy Carter wasn't incompetent in letting the Ayatollah Khomeni depose the Shah in Iran.
The truth may be stranger than fictitious conspiracy theories.
The "uprising" is being well orchestrated by Al Quaeda. It is being well disguised by the deliberate inaction of our own government. The fall of Egypt as a "friend" of the US will have seriously bad consequences for Israel. The fragile "peace" that Pres Carter forged will be undone, without it appearing that the US government sanctioned it.
Here is how the not so mainstream pundits see things:

Now that we finally have a conservative House...
The house passes a bill to repeal Obamacare. Of course the kool-aid drinking left in the Senate will kill the bill, sealing their distaste for the will of the voters and thus sealing their party losses in 2012.
We already know that Obama will be a one term president, even though he plans on spending a large chunk of money equal to about 5% of California's budget deficit on what will be a failed re-election campaign. if he doesn't believe that the candidate who spends the most money can lose, he needs to talk to Meg Whitman, who lost a California governor bid after spending over $140 Million!
That our US senate is still out of touch needen't be a surprise. They have been out of touch for the past 50 years, regardless of majority party affiliation, thanks largely to RINO's abdicating any sense of conservative values just to stay in office.

Frustraitions with online banking
A few thoughts on the changes at Kinecta
The new site is working more often than before, but it is still frustrating to see;
"This service is temporarily unavailable. Please contact Customer Support if this problem persists."
on the Credit Card page so often. It used to be only once a month during the billing cycle, now it seems to be every week!
It is disappointing, having been a member since 1993, before the name change. I had specifically changed my banking to Hughes to get away from the far worse Bank of America. This latest bit of frustration is making me re-think whether to keep Hughes, now Kinecta, as my primary financial institution.
Shareholder loyalty is a two way street.
I chose to do the online banking because it offered so much.
Finances became much easier to manage.
Lately it has become the source of concern, when critical payments are due and service isn't available.
I opted out of "electronic statements only" because of the uncertainty of the availability of the website. (I have done this for my other online credit union accounts for exactly the same reason).
Also, I am told "electronic statements will "save the planet". Will it save my financial pocket book if I can't access the statement? Saving the planet is nice, but at the expense of my financial security, no.
I like Kinecta, but have been growing frustrated with what seems to be a corporate desire to be like a large bank rather than a Credit Union, serving the shareholders.
I hope the website issues can be fixed soon.

Merry Christmas from the outgoing Democrats
Ooops, modern liberal Democrats don't say Merry Christmas anymore since that phrase is "politically incorrect". Fortunately conservatives still do!
The lame duck Democrat's parting gifts were more bloated, pork laden legislation that effectively seals the fate of our country. While it was nice of the Dem's to pass the (limited) extension of the Bush tax cuts, they foiled growth by extending unemployment benefits without having a way to pay for it. (more debt, thanks to the Dem's).
Just this week, they passed the START treaty, only to have the Russians hold off in order to more closely inspect the terms of the treaty. Again, nice Job Dem's for passing legislation without even reading or debating it.
Jan, 6th will be a happy day as the Dem's trifecta majority will be officially broken.

If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down
Too bad California voted Governor Moonbeam back in for a third go around. Meg Whitman could have used a snappy campaign slogan like the title.
Vote for Whitman, you've got a hit, man.
Vote for Brown and flush it all down!
Or something along those lines. Of course it is a little too late for those shenanigans and cute campaign slogans.
