This week we highlight Amanda Michelle Seyfried for the first time on the tea512. Amanda was born December 3, 1985 in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. There is alot to like about her and she has been on our radar for a while we first saw her in 2004 in her film debut Mean Girls. We next seen her on the small screen in the tea512 favorite HBO hit Big Love. We never looked at her as sexy or a woman of the week. In 2007 we noticed her as she killed in the movie Alpha Dog. The hits did not stop as in 2008 she appeared in the musical feature film Mamma Mia!. She had a role in the 2009 movie Jennifer’s Body it is tough to be in a movie with Megan Fox. She has really ramped up the sexy in her role in Big Love which peeked our interest and this weekend she struck again. The release of the movie Dear John was number one in the box office and grossed over $32 million. She will be dropping the sexy in upcoming roles in Chloe and Letters to Juliet. We will keep watching as this girl has become a woman and we have enjoyed being surprised by the change.

The congressional Republicans are feeling a little empowered after knocking back healthcare and no longer muted under a super majority. The came out fighting with President Barack Obama in their Saturday media addresses over proposals to create jobs. President Obama is pushing Congress to use $30 billion that had been set aside to bail out Wall Street to start a new program that provides loans to small businesses. The leftover money is from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. The Republicans rightly want answers for where are the jobs the president promised in exchange for the billions of dollars already appropriated for the massive 787 billion stimulus package. President Obama proved this week he still does not get it as for proposing a 2011 budget that would increase spending, taxes and the national debt at this point in time is more Washington as usual. The bottom line is the Democrats rammed through the stimulus, bill that cost taxpayers $1.2 trillion and 3 million more jobs were lost. The question is can President Obama a 50 year old man who has lived in the United States his whole life really believe that government is the answer for every problem the economy and the citizens have? Can he be that naïve or just that blind from his liberal, socialism heritage and brainwashing?

We can only celebrate for so long but today the 41st votes Senator Scott Brown officially takes the people seat as it is vacated by Paul Kirk. The first Republican senator in Massachusetts since 1978 and the first non Kennedy in the peoples seat for over 30 years. There is a problem as we feel this is a set up. Next week the Senate leaders plan to vote on the jobs bill as they near an agreement on a proposal to give businesses a tax break for hiring unemployed workers. The Senate will start work on the bill Monday, said Majority Leader Harry Reid. This means if Scott Brown does vote against this bill the campaign ads against him will say “Scott Brown first vote in the senate was against jobs!” Welcome to politics as we think this is a tough call anyway you slice it. He won because we are sick of backroom deals and dumb handouts. This bill will not create any new jobs as a $3-$5,000 tax break will not make a small business hire a $40,000 year employee. The tax break for hiring unemployed workers is modeled after a proposal by Schumer and Hatch. The measure is an alternative to the politics on the hill as of late as it is a bipartisan and has tax cuts for Republicans and helps the Democrats bring something home for President Obama.

He tried to avoid saying it all cost. He waited till after the State of Union so he could say he still had not done it, yesterday he has to admit he is going to raise a host of taxes on businesses and wealthy individuals. The budget proposal would impose $1.4 trillion in higher taxes over the next decade on couples making more than $250,000 and individuals making more than $200,000 killing the tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush. There is an increase in taxes on U.S. companies with major overseas operations, and plans to increase taxes on oil and gas companies. The new budget accounts for a $33 billion tax cut that President Obama wants Congress to include in a new jobs bill. The new taxes will raise the top two income tax rates for individuals, from 33 percent and 35 percent, to 36 percent and 39.6 percent. They will be a new limit on itemized tax deductions high earners can claim for charitable donations, mortgage interest and state and local taxes. There is an increase the top capital gains tax rate from 15 percent to 20 percent for families making more than $250,000 a year and individuals making more than $200,000. This is a new tax without a real name the financial crisis responsibility fee will be on large financial institutions.There will be a total of around $39 billion in tax increases on oil, gas and coal companies over the next decade. The era of raising taxes has begun.

This week we highlight Kaley Christine Cuoco who was born November 30, 1985 in Camarillo, California. She is an American actress who we first came to see as Bridget Hennessy on the comedy sitcom 8 Simple Rules, then Billie Jenkins on the drama series Charmed, and most recently as Penny on the runaway hit The Big Bang Theory. The reason we picked her this week is because of her appearance Sunday night. She was at the 52nd Grammy Awards as a presenter and totally held her own amongst the most beautiful people in the entire world. She did not use any double-sided tape or bra to keep her gown in place and she could not have looked hotter with her deep plunging neckline Nicole Miller gown. She has never been on the top 51 but we think it time to open up a slot as Ms. Cuoco has arrived. We eagerly anticipate her movie roles in 2010 as Erica Roc in The Penthouse and Ashlee Turner in the latest Scream movie number four.

We have finally found a way to stop that Tony’s Pizza to the rescue. This has become a new life saver as we were surprised how much the kids like the Pizza from a box. We are not sure if it is because we are able to have many kinds to cover all the different likes in the household. Tony’s Pizzas has original crust in seven varieties, we had one supreme and one meat trio. They also have a new Crispy Crust which we got one with Pepperoni and one just plain Cheese. This worked out well as there was something for everyone and here is the kicker, there was nothing left. That is right dad cooked a meal and everybody liked it. There is a new staple when dad has to cook and his new friend in the kitchen is Tony’s Pizza. There is a big tech giveaway going on right now from Tony’s Pizza. There is more information and a couple of links to follow with the contest blog posts that you can leave a comment or tweet and get yourself some cool prizes check out link and the rules below.
My how times have changes the leader of the Democrat party President Barack Obama is endorsing nuclear energy. The spending plan for the next budget year is expected to include billions of more dollars in federal guarantees for new nuclear reactors. This is an amazing about face as he is also calling for a new generation of nuclear power plants. It was not long ago this administration pledged to close Yucca Mountain, the planned multibillion-dollar burial ground in the Nevada desert for high-level radioactive waste. They also have been criticized for a slow rollout of $18.5 billion in loan guarantees to spur investment in new nuclear power plants, and the administration killed a Bush-era proposal to reprocess nuclear fuel. Where Jackson Browne and Carly Simon is, remember how much they hated Nukes in the late 70’s. They had concerts even made a movie and here the person the age of those protesters who was dreamed they could change the world in the same vein that Woodstock Vietnam war protesters thought they could change the world. We will see if this is just lip service as we are expected the administration seeks $54 billion in additional loan guarantees for nuclear power in his 2011 budget request to Congress on Monday. This is going to one of those times in history when a fundemantial change is a position for the democrats based on the truth they were wrong all along and OPEC has laughed all they way to the bank.

We wanted to catch up on one of shows Gossip Girl and recap the end of 2009. We like the show still uses Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite. The show has moved away from Gossip Girl as she no longer has the 411 on the characters dirty and juicy gossip. The show still does end with X.O.X.O Gossip Girl, but it is clear the storyline is no longer guided by the Gossip Girl. The scenes are longer away from the fast switching of the past and the Gossip Girl dropped in comments no longer drive the show or the reactions. There was even a point in the congressman scandal where Gossip Girl was named as a third reference for getting the damaging video Serena and Trip the congressman in the elevator. There also have been multiple references to TMZ. The story has fractured into three groups, the kids at NYU, the kids in the business world, the kids back at Constance. The plots jump back and forth and adding the parents in where needed. The role of the parents has taken a back seat this season. We did enjoy the last episode of the winter session where all four groups tried for a Thanksgiving holiday at the new Rufus House. This was a disaster and the turkey on the table was never even carved. We look forward to where Dan and Nate find themselves. The character of the season so far is Dan. He has had a relationship with Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg), Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff) and included a threesome with Olivia and Vanessa. College years are good for him. The other question is will Serena ever make a good choice as she has not sober or sober.

Transparency and House Democrats fighting for President Obama. There was wide-ranging request by Republicans for documents on private meetings that White House officials had last year with doctors and other medical providers as health care legislation was being prepared. This of course was done behind closed-doors. The house was able to limit requests to records detailing agreements the White House reached with provider groups. The Republicans have rightly accused President Barack Obama of not fulfilling his promise to conduct health care talks in public. These talks held last May at the White House led to the announcement that doctors, pharmaceutical companies and other health care providers had agreed to find about $2 trillion in health care savings over the coming decade. this kind of back room dealings are out in front now because of Healthcare reform that included extra federal aid for Nebraska and Louisiana. This has not been passed yet but it is clear the details have been worked out as Democrats consulted with White House officials in working out the agreement with committee Republicans. This is the kind of thing that makes President Obama and the Democrats appear to be snake oil salesmen, they have a potion to cure everything and they know more than you.

Here is a cool site about a product we had not thought about but is sure to take off. The look and feel of any livingroom will change with a white lcd tv just think of the possiblilites. Everyone has a black or gray model but a fashionable color can become part of the theme of your space. There was a time not long ago when the TV was furniture. This is a great new way to make your TV the focal point of a room and then accent your other furniture around it. The other thing is it is just different you a big store hundred TV lined up on a wall they are all the same color, this is great idea to live up any space. White as a color is not only nuetral but it gives of a cleaner brighter feel than black or gray.
We watched President Obama who was stopped for applause 86 times in his State of Union address, this tradition needs to end. He spent two thirds of the speech dealing with the economy and jobs. There was so much speculation that he was going to move to the center, that never happened. It was 40 minutes before he even mentioned Healthcare reform and only took 50 minutes to lay some blame of previous President George Bush. There were two uncomfortable moments when he called out the Supreme Court as the only sat ten feet away. This happened again when he mention open military for gays in front of the Joint Chiefs of the military. Both groups sat stoic and must have know it was coming and sat staring straight ahead as the gallery leaped and applauded behind them. He finished up using the quote “I Don’t Quit” as Karl Rove reported he said “I” 96 times. There also might be a shock at was not said as he never mentioned Guantanamo Bay of the trails for terrorists in New York City. We were surprised he pushed Cap and Trade as we though and most pundits after the speech agreed have been dead for at least six months.
Tonight the President Obama is set to deliver his second state of the union. We are eagerly waiting to see the spin and shine he can put on his freshman effort. The rumor is that he will unveil a jobs-heavy agenda. The buzz is that the goal is to Get the economy, the confidence of voters and his own presidency on surer footing. The pre-speech up fronts say the speech will have two themes this first is to reassure Americans that he understands their struggles and convince people that he is working to change Washington. There should be detail about how he wants to help businesses hire again, salvage an overhaul of health care insurance. There have been many misses over the first year and health care reform stands at the top, ending the war in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay detainees are still there and the influx of thousands of troops in Afghanistan. We could her more of the same as he reverts to an agenda that would include health care reform, regulation of Wall Street, energy and immigration reform. We will heard about the lame spending freeze on some domestic spending for three years. The Republican response will be delivered by Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, this is another good move for the GOP as it was McDonnell who won an election that President Obama campaigned hard for his opponent. We heard Scott Brown say yesterday on the radio that he will not be in attendance for the speech. We have a feeling his presence and what it represents will hover over the whole night like a cloud of clarity.

Scott Brown was on the local radio today in Boston, this guy is a winner. There was plenty of reasons for him to win but to get over a million votes in Massachusetts there had to be something else. We think we might have heard it today. Brown speaking in the afternoon told the radio audience about meeting Patrick Kennedy on his first trip to Washington as senator. He told the story without jab even though he was being baited by the host he stayed true to the story. Patches meet Scott Brown was cordial and gave him a book written by his father the late Ted Kennedy who seat he will be sitting in the senate. The thing that makes Scott Brown appealing is that he said of the meeting with patches, he had a great respect for him as he did not think if he was in Patrick Kennedy’s shoes he could have done it. He is so refreshing an honest for a politician we cannot believe it and he is a republican. There is something so genuine about him and it is definitely what was tapped into by the non republican liberal leaning voters in Massachusetts.
