300 More Million Down The Drain

Yessir, 300 million in the stimulus package for "green" golfcarts.

That would battery-operated carts... instead of gasoline-operated carts.

Don't those idiots understand that for every speck of energy saved saved by using batteries means that a power plant somewhere has to generate that much more energy to charge the damned batteries?

Now tell me that a coal-fired electrical plant is the place to find green golfcarts.

Reminds when Apple claimed they had gone green with their computers by no longer manufacturing printed circuit cards, etc. How'd they do it? They contracted somebody else, somebody else to make the cards, somebody that created the same amount of toxic waste to do the job. All Apple did was pass the pollution off on to someone else and then brag about going "green". What crap.

300 Million to put batteries(like the one in your car) and an electric motor(like the one in your refrigerator) in golfcarts?

We are being so screwed by this Congress and this administration.

Netanyahu Talks TOUGH

This from a guy who wants to lead a teenie-weenie little blob of a country that depends totally and completely on the good will, the money and the military equipment of the United States:

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Even before Benjamin Netanyahu finds out whether he will be Israel’s next prime minister, he is sending a message to President Barack Obama that he won’t be pushed around.

The idiot better be more careful with his public rantings against America and it's policies. The existence of Israel depends totally on the Israeli lobby in Congress. If that lobby is rendered ineffective by people like Netanyahu making stupid public statements, Israel vanishes.

Netanyahu seriously needs a realty check if he wants Israel to survive. And so does Congress on it's mindless support of this teeny little country that has created so much grief, misery and death in the middle East, all of it with our money and our military equipment. If we back away, Israel is no more.

That would be pretty tough on all those Jews who have hung their hopes on Isreal's long-term survival. They need to tell their leaders to knock off all the saber-rattling and start making peace with their neighbors.

The reality s that Israel has only two choices. Learn to live with their Arab neighbors, or destroy themselves. And it may be too late for peace... They have almost become what they tried to escape from in WW2... Oppressors that know only force, a sad end for what was supposed to be a Godly endeavour.

Great, Just Freaking Great

So sayeth the treasury dude:

We're not going to put out the details until we get it right...

He also said it would take much more money(than you ever imagined) and that they would have to try new ideas and new things, and that some of them probably would be wrong and not work, and that it's going to take a LOT longer than you hoped... Because they're going where no man has gone before... And dragging us along for the ride which we are picking up the bill for, while these dickwads try to guess their way out of this mess.

Translated: We're going to stumble around in the damn dark - tossing money every which way - until somebody finds the light switch, and then we'll tell you how we did it.

That's assuming that somebody will actually find the switch.

You gotta remember that's these are the exact same people that got us in to this mess to begin with.

Hooray for all this massive change there, Bammy.

Meanwhile the stock market is tanking again, because those boys mess in their bitches at the thought of transparency and accountability about what they're doing with other peoples money.

This would all be a rip-roaring comedy if it was a TV sitcom. But it''s real life, and that makes it beyond horrible. These sons-a-bitches have been robbing us blind and plundering our treasure for decades, and now we are relying on the same of cast of characters to fix it all.

Good luck with that.

How Did This Happen?

California is on the brink of disaster.

More than 200,000 state government employees are expected to stay home without pay this Friday as California begins its first-ever furlough, expected to be two working days a month to stay home, without pay.

California's unemployment rate is 9.3 percent, a 15-year high.

The state is $42 billion in debt, and the chances of paying it off are about zero.

Take a look at California. It has a huge agriculture industry. It has vast amounts of lumber. It has oil. It has a huge tourist industry. It has Hollywood. It has incredible vacation destinations... Yosemite, Death valley, Disneyland, San Francisco, a long coastline peppered with fantastic beaches. It has some of our largest and most profitable shipping ports, and a massive airline industry,

It has Silicon valley, once the greatest hi-tech place in the world.
It has some of our once finest Universities and colleges.

California has more and better resources than most Nations on earth. It has - or had - some of the brightest and dedicated workers anywhere. California's ability to generate prosperity is almost unmatched anywhere on earth.

So what happened to California?

If you can figure that out - what happened and who did it - you'll understand what's happening to America everywhere.

Here's a clue... Pelosi is a Californian.

SAY WHAT?

I just read a piece that stated "If you, the citizen, take out a loan from the government bank and the money inflates, there is a little clause that allows the government bank to adjust up your payment amount to meet inflation."

In other words, if inflation hits 10%, your mortgage payment will be "adjusted" up 10%. A $1,000/month mortgage payment becomes a $1,100/month payment.

If inflation explodes - as predicted - to say 100%, a $1,000/month payment becomes a $2,000/month payment.

Everybody today - in the United States - that has a mortgage with a government-bailed bank, will lose their homes, not just the Clinton era ARMed - but actually ineligible - home buyers that caused all this present-day turmoil.

Can this be really true?

If true, there is no doubt that this - if triggered - could signal the start of a revolution.

Dumber Than Soap

Nancy Pelosi, esteemed Speaker of the House, said that 500 million Americans lose their jobs every month we don't have a Pelosi-backed stimulus package.

500 million a month. Wow, that's 6,000 million Americans each and every year! According to Pelosi,. there are more Americans than there are humans on planet Earth.

We used to say, dumber than a crowbar.

At least a crowbar had some redeeming values attached to it.

"I Screwed Up"

President Obama, speaking in reference to the Tom Daschle comedy said, "I screwed up" by nominating him.

As you no doubt know by now, Senator Tom Daschle was nominated by Obama to become an important big-wig in his administration, was subsequently exposed as a tax cheat, and withdrew himself from the process.

As I previously stated, Daschle has made millions while serving as a United States Senator. Obviously, the man is not stupid. No way will a man who is intent on making millions going to inadvertently make hundred-thousand-dollar errors on his taxes. That's just total B.S.

So... has Obama - as the bimbos on CNNFOXETC suggested - set the "bar too high"?

No.

What the Daschle fiasco has demonstrated is that it is almost impossible to find a Washington insider honest enough to serve.

That's the real message we should be taking away from all this.

Just another Damned Crook

Another one is exposed:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Fighting to salvage his Cabinet nomination, Tom Daschle apologized Monday for failing to pay more than $120,000 in taxes and appealed to former Senate colleagues to approve him all the same. President Barack Obama said he was "absolutely" sticking with his nominee for health secretary, and a key senator added an important endorsement.
The White House both underscored the magnitude of the problem and tried to downplay it in the space of seven words. "Nobody's perfect," said press secretary Robert Gibbs. "It was a serious mistake. ..."

Serious mistake my butt. The serious mistake was he got caught. But what the hell, he APOLOGIZED! Well then, that must make it all OK.

Thieves, crooks, liars. That's what we have running our nation today. Along with power-mad nutcases like Pelosi and Clinton, who will say and do anything for that Adrenalin rush that ruining lives brings to the beltliners. American lives that is... They trip over each other trying to be the first to help out foreigners and illegals with our money and our country.

And Obama? He's turning out to be no different.

Speaking of United States Senator Tom Daschel, did you know he's made millions playing the stock market while in the Senate? Brings to mind Hillary Clinton's 100,000 dollar overnight profit playing with cattle futures.

Payoffs come in many disguises, and our esteemed Washington elite have turned getting them into an art form.

So What The Hell Is The Navy For?

Can you dig it...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - With an alarming number of tankers and cargo ships getting hijacked on the high seas, the nation's maritime academies are offering more training to merchant seamen in how to fend off attacks from pirates armed not with cutlasses and flintlocks but automatic weapons and grenade launchers.

Good grief... what the hell do we have a multi-billion-dollar navy for... If it's not protecting our merchant marine and the products they carry that are so vital to our economy? Like oil? Like everything in Wal-Mart from China?

Sorry, I forgot... we use our multi-billion-dollar aircraft carriers to go bomb third-world nations back to the stone age.

Forget I even mentioned it.

Magical Negritude

Quoting vox:

While the stock market is on the verge of another breakdown, official GDP figures have finally reported an official recession. Job losses abounded in the fourth quarter, and both business executives as well as the mainstream economists who completely failed to predict the current contraction are forecasting that economic recovery will begin in the second half of 2009. One year ago, the American Enterprise Institute published the report "Fine in 2009 (Not So Great in 2008)," while just last month, Business Week reported:"The idea that the economy will start to recover in the middle of 2009 has really taken hold.

This isn't surprising, since Keynesians who subscribe to the notion of "animal spirits" being the foundation of the economy – or "confidence" as today's Neo-Keynesians describe it – believe that the election of Obama will create the missing sense of American optimism that is required to arrest the contraction and start the economy growing again. This is complete nonsense, of course, and while such childish faith in the unbounded power of magical negritude is touching, Obama himself appears to be perfectly aware that his Hooverian stimulus program is unlikely to succeed. His statement that economic recovery "will take years, not months" is not political hyperbole or an attempt to reduce expectations, it is probably the most intelligent and straightforward declaration he has ever made in public.

More down-to-earth predictions about this economic freefall is that it will not stop until around 2012. By that time, the federal governments war against its own citizens will be in full swing, destroying whatever chance there is for a recovery beginning in 2012.

It's getting worse. It will get far worse. And even as we stare blankly at the disaster facing us, the plunderers, the thieves, the sons-a-bitches running our financial institutions continue to rob us unabated... As the likes of Reed, Pelosi and the rest of the despicable cretins in Congress cheer them on.

Oh, the coming war? It will be the federal government against America and it's legal citizens, supported by the military we have paid for, and all those lettered organizations designed to protect the politicians. We may even see thousands of foreign and blue-helmeted UN troops on the streets of America.

If you think this is all tinfoil hat nonsense, just wait. What I have on my side is the inevitability of all this - since today's Americans simply refuse to face reality - and time.

Another point to ponder... You know about that thousand-year-old Mayan calendar that predicts the end of all things on December 21, 2012? Definite tinfoil hat stuff, but eerily close to the mark.
