Muhahahaha

And to think, he's only been in office 2 months!!!

Good to see the honeymoon is over

The Banality of Obama
I saw another post similar to this earlier this week -- we live in the Information Age, and people should be making choices based on easily available info, and yet, we cant even buy health insurance like Blue Cross from another state.
Instead of a "big idea", we get big goobermint, big business & big labor.
De-centralize NOW!!!

Neither a Hedgehog Nor a Fox
I tend to go in cycles on how I feel about Peggy Noonan, especially wrt how she hammered Sarah-cuda, but I think she hits the nail on the head here -- we do live in serious times, and worrying about NCAA brackets, going on the Tonight Show, instigating a fight w. Rush -- NOT things we need.


And my boy Charles K brings the stiletto for the coup de grace.

Quit fucking around and fix the banks, jackass.

Dear Sen. Hagan,

As someone who voted AYE not even 2 weeks ago for a pork laden bill that spent 9 BILLION dollars of our tax dollars ( and yes, I am one of the 50% of citizens that actually PAYS taxes), I can only hope you don't think that tax payers will believe any crocodile tears you might shed about this whole AIG mess. The bonuses were part of legal contracts signed months ago, and if Congress tries to write bills of attainder to claw back legally earned money, then you (plural) will be no better than King George III.

I hope you are aware of the righteous wrath building here against big government, big business and big unions. All of them are feeding at the trough, and all that matters is that every dollar spent for handouts, corporate welfare and pork is just another dollar stolen from someone who earned it.

Nail on the head

Big government, big business and big labor.

What is so wrong about keeping the social safety net to provide a MINIMUM of education, unemployment, retirement & emergency health care, but letting folks sink or swim?
Why the drive to provide "universal" anything?

Anyway -- we're all fucked.

How much do I F-ing hate politicians???

VERY MUCH

First, we shouldnt own 80% of any company.
Second, all of them should resign or commit sepuku -- politicians included.
Third, as soon as they start aborgating contracts, the markets are going to ZERO.
On and on...

To hell with all of them.

Much mad hatred directed @ the CIA.

Bungling idiots.

Michael Goodwin of the Daily News:

Which brings us to the heart of the matter: the doubts about Obama himself. His famous eloquence is wearing thin through daily exposure and because his actions are often disconnected from his words. His lack of administrative experience is showing.

His promises and policies contradict each other often enough that evidence of hypocrisy is ceasing to be news. Remember the pledges about bipartisanship and high ethics? They're so last year.

The beat goes on. Last week, Obama brazenly gave a speech about earmark reform just after he quietly signed a $410 billion spending bill that had about 9,000 earmarks in it. He denounced Bush's habit of disregarding pieces of laws he didn't like, so-called signing statements, then issued one himself.

And in an absolute jaw-dropper, he told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role."

No wonder Americans are confused. Our President is, too.

Damn. Dirty. Hippies.

Grrr....

Nothing has more acutely demonstrated this than the reliance of the IPCC on computer models to predict what is going to happen to global temperatures over the next 100 years. On these predictions, that temperatures are likely to rise by up to 5.3C, all their other predictions and recommendations depend, yet nearly 10 years into the 21st century it is already painfully clear that the computer forecasts are going hopelessly astray. Far from rising with CO2, as the models are programmed to predict they should, the satellite-measured temperature curve has flattened out and then dropped. If the present trend were to continue, the world in 2100 would not in fact be hotter but 1.1C cooler than the 1979-1998 average….Sea levels are not shooting up but only continuing their modest 3mm a year rise over the past 200 years. The vast Antarctic ice-sheet is not melting, except in one tiny corner, the Antarctic Peninsula. Tropical hurricane activity, far from increasing, is at its lowest level for 30 years.

Victor Davis Hanson

Guantanamo is still open, but there are no longer "enemy combatants" there (Perhaps the name of the camp can be changed next?). The old campaign snicker that a naïve McCain really believed that a then-stronger economy is "fundamentally sound" is now the new Obama gospel about a far weaker one. There are to be no more earmarks in spite of 8,000-plus new ones. A $3.6 trillion-dollar budget is proof of commitment to financial responsibility; the remedy of Bush’s borrowing profligacy is to increase the deficit from $500 billion to $1.7 trillion. Bush’s signing statements bad; Obama’s signing statements good. An end to lobbyists in an administration ensure there are over ten; the highest ethical standards mean the nominations of Daschle, Richardson, etc. The changing meaning of words really does trump memory and reality itself.
