Underworked government employees enjoying some time off after calculating the unemployment rate.
The monthy unemployment numbers were released yesterday. The U 3 number which is the headline number, was reported as 8.6%. The economy added only 120,000 jobs, mostly in the low paying retail and
services sector. Most economists believe the economy needs to create close to ...
Today is Thanksgiving Day. For mnay of us older folks, it is a truly special day. It is a day to give thanks for the great nation we live in, in
spite of the corrupt and clueless beltway blowhards who are trying to destoy this country, one spending program at a time.
I would particularly like to thank:
> My nephew Stephen and special friend Ryan who are probably enjoying cold turkey delivered by ...
Today the U.S. debt clock will strike $15 trillion. Meanwhile, the 12 bickering jerks on the Stupor Committee continue to jockey for the 2012
elections. Any person with a room temperature IQ could cut $1.2 trillion from the federal budget over lunch and a couple of JD's on the rocks. But, what do you expect when the group is
comprised of 6 conservative Republicans and 6 liberal Democrats -- deadlock!
We started getting ...
Joe Paterno's reign over Penn State is over. He clearly stayed too long, had too much power, and had lost touch with reality. He should have been
shown the door a decade ago. His reign is an example of older people who just refuse to leave, unless they are shown the door.
How does his circumstance relate to the Beltway Blowhards? It is qjuite simple. Too many of the people in power on the beltway have stayed too ...

Today is Veterans Day, 11-11-11. Thank you to all of our troops, retired and currently serving. A special tip of the hat to my brave nephew Stephen ...

Next Year is the BIG ONE!
Today is election day in an "off year". Next year is the "big one" when the Community-Organizer-in-Chief tries to get re-elected. While the
anarchists, unemployed, Marxists, union thugs, homeless, and the useless have taken over from the original Occupy Wall Street crowd, millions of Americans will work within the ...
The Colonel from Libya finally got his just rewards. He was executed by a Libyan wearing a New York Yankees cap. His body is currently resting in a meat locker, so the UN Human Rights Coalition can investigate his demise. According to them, it's ok to kill someone in combat, but once he is captured, it is not ok to murder him, even though the monster was responsible for hundreds of thousands of Libyans being butchered over ...
<< MORE >>Barrack Obama's $450 billion jobs bill is dead because it was just another stimulus boondoggle. It was "paid for" with a 10 year tax on
"billionaires & millionaires". Only in Washington can a bunch of loser liberals try to sell a one year stimulus spending bill and pay for it over ten years -- brilliant!
Obama is in full campaign 3 D mode DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE, & DIVIDE
He knew the jobs bill was dead on arrival. It ...
Barack Obama, the Reverend-in-Chief, must think he is the president in the year 1911, not 2011. In the good old days of politics, before 24/7 radio and cable TV, politicians could do anything and say just about anything before different audiences and get away with most of their nonsense, because nobody was listening or watching. Newspapers reported most of the political action. Today, no politician can hide from his or her actions, even when the liberal media ...
<< MORE >>President Obama, the Divider-in-Chief, is in full campaign mode, traveling around the country, giving speeches in front of crumbling bridges
and practicing his class warfare mantra for campaign 2012. His only hope is to distract the public from his dismal economic record and divide and conquer the electorate along
economic lines.
Obama needs to motivate the members of the MOOCHER STATE, the 46% of the people who do not pay taxes. He will continue to demonize the ...
Barack Obama, who is, without a doubt, the biggest blowhard in the history of the beltway, continued his assualt on "millionaires and billionaires" once again and called on them to pay their fair share. He reminded everyone about Warren Buffett's secretary paying a higher tax rate than Mr. Buffet. Of course, the president (and Mr. Buffett) conveniently forget to mention that Mr. Buffett's capital gains are taxes on income that was already taxed as ordinary income before ...
<< MORE >>During the Tea Party debate between the Republican candidates for president, Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul a question about requiring people to buy health insurance. Ron Paul, a true libertarian, replied it is an individuals's choice to buy (or not buy) insurance. Mr. Blitzer then badgered him with a bleeding heart hypothetical question about a 30 year old man who could afford, but chose not to buy a $200 per month medical insurance policy. This hypothetical man then ended ...
<< MORE >>Another highly touted green energy company bit the dust yesterday, when solar panel maker Solyndra declared bankruptcy and laid off 1,100 workers.
Of course, it was heavily subsidized and had a $535 million loan guarantee, courtesy of Jimmy Carter's creation, the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy defended the guarantee
by claiming the Chinese subsidize their solar boondoogles.Therefore we must do the same to "compete" with them.
The real reason these ...
The Iowa straw poll, the dumbest politcal event in America, is over and Michele Bachmann is the winner. All the liberal pundits are
nit-picking her every word and she has held up well under the absurd scrutiny. Meanwhile, Governor Perry of the great state of Texas has thrown his 20 gallon hat into the ring and these same
pundits are already criticizing his accomplishments. One liberal jerk even called him "shallow".
It's ...
Where have you taken us since 2008, Mr. President ? You ran around the country for two years in 2007 and 2008 promising "Hope & Change".
Now, as consumer confidence plummets to its lowest levels since the great Jimmy Carter was president, Obama is wandering around the country will a tale of woe is me.
Instead of being the President of the U.S., he has become the President of the Democratic Party. He continues to attack big business and ...
2008: Candidate Barack Obama ran around the country preaching Hope and Change and Yes, We Can. I never could figure out what the phrase Yes, We Can meant. But it
sounded good to 53% of the voters.
2012: Fast forward to 2012 and the Republican candidate will be screaming: NO, HE CAN'T. That is a message we all can understand!
2012: No, He Can't !
John Swift Boat Kerry appeared on Meet the Press today and pontificated how the S & P downgrade of our debt was a "Tea Party Downgrade". Those Democratic talking points really circulate fast. Mr. Kerry, one of the evil rich members of Congress, never met a spending program he didn't want to fund. With rich, liberal hacks like him in office, the Tea Party will always be necessary. The Tea Party is a grass roots movement of disgusted Americans who are fed up with massive, wasteful government spending. Blowhards like Kerry, David Axlerod, Howard Dean, and Harrry the ...
<< MORE >>John Boehner is once again doing most of the work trying to get a half-assed deficit ceiling bill passed in the House while Harry the Undertaker Reid sits back and says it is "dead on arrival".
Meanwhile, the Blowhard-in-Chief threatens another veto. It's time to call the insipid Democrats' bluff. Pass the bill, Republicans, and then "watch the show". If the undertaker and Blowhard-in-Chief
choose to do nothing, it is their fault. The U.S. bond credit rating is going from a lousy AAA to a good AA anyway. Let's get it over with.
...
Ever since LBJ got his "War on Poverty" boondoogle passed with overwhelming congressional support in 1964, the government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on thousands of anti-poverty programs only to see the ranks of the :poor" (even the ones with their cell phones, color TV's, air conditioned apartments, and I-Pods) grow ever larger. Clearly these government programs have failed to lift many of these people out of poverty. In spite of these facts, the beltway blowhards do not want to cut any of these programs. If a program doesn't work, spend more money on it or ...
<< MORE >>President Barack Obabble, the Fear-Mongerer-in-Chief, keeps threatening Social Security checks might not go out on August 3rd if the debt ceiling is not raised. He has turned Social Security
into Social Insecurity with his phoney fear-mongering.
He has really accomplished something much more important - he has shattered the myth of the Social Security Trust Fund.For decades, we keep hearing how many years are "left" in the nation;s social
security trust fund. The Dumbocrats keep insisting there is plenty of money to keep the benefits flowing for many years to come without changing any ...
Barack Obabble's news conference yesterday kicked off his 2012 War on Wealth - Malaise in America campaign. He talked for just over an hour, while the U.S. racked up an additional $200
million in deficits. We are blowing $5 billion a day in deficits and this example of the Peter Principle gone wild pontificated about "millionaires and billionaires" getting away with not paying
enough taxes. He embarrassed himself yesterday and looked Carter-like.
Then he rambled on about corporate jet tax breaks and the evil oil companies' tax loopholes. The corporate jet tax breaks (accelerated tax appreciation) ...
Obama keeps talking about his pro-growth agenda while all his minions continue to attack business. The frustration among business leaders is getting more bold. Jamie Dimon took a shot at
Helicopter Ben Bernanke the other day. Obama's chief of staff, Bill Dilly Dailey was openly criticized by a small business owner about the over-regulation of business. Dilly Dailey's response
was "it's toujgh to defend the indefensible." Meanwhile some large companies, like Johnson and Johnson, are starting to lay off workers,
Of course, big labor, with the help of the NLRB, continues to make unrealistic wage ...
President Neville Obama suggested to Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel should shrink back to its 1967 borders. Ben essentially said "I don't think so". By using Obama's logic, perhaps the
U.S. should shrink it's borders. Some suggestions:
1. Give Texas back to Mexico. The benefits are obvious for Obama. He would get rid of a red state before the 2012 election and the border problems in this area would calm down.
2. Sell Alaska back to Russia. The benefits are obvious. Russia would immediately suck all of the oil out of the ...
