Cap and Tax to cost each family 4K per year?

Image
An MIT Study put the cost to each American family at $3900/year. "Not only is the link of carbon dioxide to global temperatures in question, our economy is struggling. We have unemployment rates approaching 10% and now we’re looking to pass a bill that will cost jobs and add burden to our families. This leaves an opening for the Republicans to step up and be a voice of reason. The question is, will they step up to the plate? " More at Right Wing Nut Job .

I seem to have hit my limit. I just found out that I am not allowed to follow more than 300 blogs on my Google dashboard. Has anybody else had this problem? I may have to change my followers contract (see left column). I agree to follow those who follow me. So how can I continue to do that if my followers number over 300?

Britney in Brunette Hair Color

Image
Britney Spears was spotted out with her boyfriend agent Jason Trawick. Something was a bit different about her this time around though. The formerly blonde pop princess was showing off some brunette hair. Now it could be a wig and that is my guess since she hasn’t had time to change her shorts when would she have had time to get her hair done?

White House calls reporter the night before

I know we all suspected that the state-run media and the White House were in cahoots. But here it is. Bright as day. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit .

Funny Money Economy

Image
The world believes that the US is borrowing money from capital markets. It is often said that the Chinese and the Japanese will buy government bonds. But the truth of the matter is that trust in the gravitas and reliability of the United States has suffered to such a great degree that fewer and fewer foreigners are purchasing its government bonds. That's why the Federal Reserve is now buying securities that it has printed itself. The Fed's balance sheet has more than doubled since 2007, making the US central bank one of the world's fastest-growing companies. The purpose of this company, though, is to create money out of thin air. Can this be true? Gabor Steingart of Der Spiegel says so . He also says that Obama follows Larry Summers, his senior-most economic advisor, around like a lap dog. The crisis, Summers intoned last week at a conference of Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society in Washington, was caused by too much confidence, too much credit and too many debt...

Britney Spears wears a bra and other non-Michael-Jackson news items

Jun 26 2009 Britney Spears wears a bra and other Michael Jackson-less news items. Even the great Diva is showing some kind of respect for Michael Jackson by dressing decently less than 24 hours after MJ passed away suddenly.

Cap and Kill the Economy

Image
You may have seen the gravestone citing America's creation date and the day of it's death. We now know the official death date of the United States of America was June 26, 2009. It didn't take a missile loaded with nukes from North Korea. It didn't take Al Qaeda to attack the economy with terrorism. It took eight Republicans and a few Democrats who failed to represent the people so they can relish in their narcissism. In the coming years you will see factories close and go overseas--tired of trying to be patriotic and keep the jobs in America because of taxes on their production of carbon dioxide--a gas needed on the planet for life to exist. For you environmentalist who can't think beyond today, they will head to a country where there are no regulations, so tell me what did you win yesterday? One day you will realize you lost. You lost freedoms, jobs, and affordable energy. I mourn today knowing the final knife into the back of great industrial power known as Ameri...

Contact rep TODAY re Cap and TAX

Image
click to enlarge If you want to see your country drown under a punitive energy tax system, move on and ignore this blog post. Otherwise, please contact your congressional representative TODAY and tell them to vote NO on Cap and Tax (trade) legislation. Here is a graphic, courtesy of Susan Duclos , that shows how this travesty of an idea will affect commerce and EVERYBODY in our (once) great nation. Michelle Malkin lists those congress-people who are in need of a little push from us to help them to decide how to vote. Please, please make time for this.

Rally Against ObamaCare

There was a rally last night in front of the Salt Lake City ABC building, protesting the one-sided Socialized Healthcare Extravaganza. There were some really great signs. I just had to show you. Thanks to Just Another American Patriot .

Save Me From Government Health-Destruction

Image
I didn't watch the ABC health-destruction extravaganza last night. I don't know where ABC is on my program lineup. However, I hear that there was a chink in Obama's armor. Obama admitted that he would not subject his own family to the care rationing and denial that he wants to foist on the rest of us . Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance. Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get. The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that ...

Those who celebrated 9 11 2001

Image
I will not forget. I have not yet been to the site of ground zero at the World Trade Center in New York. A buddy of mine was there visiting recently. My most vivid memory is of the jumpers who plummeted from the buildings. Here is a moving and graphic video. 9/11: Remembering the Jumpers (Edit 1) - video powered by Metacafe Video from Bare Naked Islam . And I will never forget the dancing Palestinians. They handed out sweets and danced in the streets. This is no faked-up video. I remember seeing this footage THAT DAY on September 11, 2001. Can you imagine my fury. Can you imagine that I will never forget. Actions have consequences. The following is an excerpt from a story about Osama Bin Laden's reactions on September 11, 2001 from cnn.com , dated September 10, 2002. It is September 11th, 2001, in Afghanistan. According to the accounts of men -- later interrogated by coalition intelligence officials - who were present through the night before and much of that day, bin ...

Hello from the Beauty Salon

I am waiting to get my hair done and I thought of you. I hope this pic is good. I can't always tell the quality of the pics on my little cell phone screen. But I will just have to take that chance. I have an idea for a blog post for later, but I need to do some research first. ###

Iranian students in garage after shoot-out

Warning: graphic. Iranian students are getting slaughtered every day. "But, Barack Obama is STILL waiting to see if "Iran chooses a path that abides by international norms and principles" before he cancels the party with the regime on the 4th of July," says Gateway Pundit .

This Burns Me Up

Image
Obama says that the FEDERAL DEFICIT is caused by health care. Ya. Crisis, crisis! And the solution happens to be whatever is at the top of Obama's agenda at the time. Nice try, BOZO. Then he goes on to talk about Medicare and Medicaid growing at an unaffordable rate. And his solution is to SPEND MORE MONEY COVERING MORE AMERICANS. This is the most bass-ackwards reasoning I have ever heard! President Obama blamed health care costs for the mounting federal deficit, saying Tuesday the country will spend $1 out of every $5 on health care within the next 10 years if the government does not mandate reform. Describing the need to control costs as the administration's "top priority," the president said health costs as the "primary driver" of the federal deficit. "The U.S. government is not going to be able to afford Medicare and Medicaid on its current trajectory," Obama told reporters during his fourth solo news conference Tuesday. "The notion...

9 Simple Truths

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. - William J.H. Boetcker, 1916, often attributed to Abraham Lincoln I saw this in a post by Left Coast Rebel , in which he goes on to describe each of these 9 points. Very nicely done. Thanks for the reminder. I recommend following the link to his blog to see his thoughtful expansion on these ideas.

It's a daunting task

Jimmy d wrote about a speech by Charles Krauthammer. 1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a ‘cool customer’ who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's ‘behind the mask’. Taking down the Clinton dynasty by a 'political neophyte' was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time. 2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan & Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing w/ your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attn. to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES! 3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, incl. dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, & wants to ‘level the playing fiel...

Britney Hates Lingerie and prefers Bralessness

Image
Britney Spears continued her two-titted war on brassieres while shopping in London yesterday, and is anyone else actually not hating these pics? Me too. They're almost soothing in a warm, comfy "I bet if I owned an ice cream truck I could impregnate this chick" kind of way.

Internet=favorite source of news, Zogby says

Image
...by a WIDE margin. A majority of adults nationwide - 56% - said that if they had to choose just one source for their news information, they would choose the Internet, the poll shows. In a distant second place was television, as 21% said they would prefer that medium over online sources. Says Zogby International . Note that 10% choose paper newspapers. Democrats were more likely to favor traditional sources of news than were Republicans. Among Republicans, 56% would prefer the Internet as their lone information source, while 50% of Democrats agreed. But when it came to newspapers, the difference was notable - 17% of Democrats would prefer newspapers as their only news source, while just 5% of Republicans agreed. This makes sense. More Democrats prefer the liberal state-run media than Republicans. The poll goes on to say that in 1998, the preference for internet news was at 38%, and television news was at 17%. Paper newspapers were at 16%, much higher than today. Gosh, what could...

"Yes, he would rather have the poor poorer, provided that the rich are less rich...so long as the gap is smaller, they'd rather have the poor poorer. You don't create wealth and opportunity that way....A single currency is about the politics of Europe; it is about a Federal Europe through the back door. I'm enjoying this!"

Swordless Sailors

Image
From the Washington Times . Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all "ceremonial swords" and anything else "that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners" for Friday's outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama. Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy's list of prohibited items for this year's graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas. Barry Carson has this take on it: From today's you couldn't make it up if you tried file.......Obama's protectors have ordered graduating Midshipmen....and I suppose Commissioned Officers through Flag rank...to leave their swords at home. Full Dress White includes "wear sword". More to the point...those badges of office have been earned in a manner Obongo and his minions just wouldn't begin to understand. Important traditions...

Is it over for Achmadinejad?

Image
( Daylife ) Azarmehr thinks it's over . "There is so much to post, I don't even know where to begin! but as I said on Aljazeera English, once the crowds reach 2 million that is it, there is no going back. This is the critical mass I have always talked about. This is what tips the balance, when people see such large numbers, their fear disappears and at the same time the riot guards become more unwilling to beat up the protesters and scared of their own future. We have now reached that point. So long as people lead with their demands and are not fooled by compromises designed to take the sting out of their momentum, then our day has finally come!" The Basji thugs have begun to use machetes and shooting into the crowds from the rooftops. There is blood in the streets. It may be that this will inflame the Iranian people to stand up for democracy. Azarmehr is hoping for the establishment of a secular democracy in Iran. Could we, as a world, be so lucky? If it happen...

The Obama Effect? Iran's election result proves the US formula in the Middle East is not working

I thought you might enjoy reading this article by Michael Rubin from the Middle East Quarterly. "On June 4, President Barack Obama declared, "I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world." Awed by Obama's rhetoric, many commentators -- blogger Juan Cole and MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann, for example -- suggested that an "Obama Effect" could usher in a new era of hope and change in the Middle East, and a pro-American outcome in Lebanese elections earlier this month seemed to cooperate with the theory. After Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection in Iran, we can now say with confidence: There is an Obama Effect, but it has less to do with reform and more to do with American arrogance and the triumph of advocacy over analysis. Look carefully at how things unfolded in Tehran. Outreach to the Islamic Republic is Obama's signature foreign policy issue. A week into his presidency, Obama extended an ol...

No Government Heathcare, Please.

Image
It is time to look at another poster from Michelle Malkin's Obamacare poster contest . If you are worried about Nationalized Healthcare, please take the time to call, email or fax your congressman or senator . I did a google search for my reps, found their official websites, and used their own email contact form. That way they know for sure that I am a constituent. And I told them clearly that I am against Socialized Medicine. Please do the same, if you care. If you don't wish to live under socialism, now is the time to speak up.

The Harry Potter Incentive

Image
Getting boys to *love* reading can be a tricky business. Having the Harry Potter series in the house makes it easier. The most crucial time is the mid-grade-school years. If kids don't develop a love of reading by then, it may never happen. Enter Harry Potter. I have read this entire series to my 10-year-old boy already, and he asked me to start it again. But this time he began reading ahead. I come back for the next evening's bedtime story and we have skipped 3 chapters. I can't describe the feeling of exultation that this brings. Like watching a child swim across the pool alone, or wobble on their first solo bike ride. When a child reads for pleasure, and not because it is an assignment, a huge chasm has been crossed. And this affects the child's future. The best writers I know are people who love books.

Verizon Blackberry is Useless Today

Image
In their infinite wisdom (NOT), Verizon Wireless chose today to send a notice to ALL U.S. Blackberry customers. It is time to log on and update your email password. This has caused the system to crash. I can't even get onto the internet from my cell phone. I told the customer service rep that, in the future, they should figure out a way to break it up into small groups so that the system is not overloaded. No mobile blogging for me today.
