New York State Health Commissioner Richard Daines has become the point man for one of the more controversial of Gov. David Paterson's revenue-generating budget proposals: The so-called "fat tax" - an 18 percent levy on sugary drinks like non-diet soda.
That's not much of a fat tax... how about charging everybody by the pound for public transportation? Now that would be a real fat tax. Some obese cow that weighs 400+ pounds takes a lot more energy to move around. And they usually demand two seats, which have to be over-engineered in order to support all that excess mass, so little miss "I'm pretty inside" doesn't sue the city when she crashes through a normal chair.
Wal-Mart provides free motorized wheel chairs for the disabled for use in all their stores, a very generous gesture. But take a closer look next time you go to a Wal-Mart... you'll see most of those motorized conveyances being used by grossly overweight broads literally too fat to walk.
It's a real sight to see some female with her huge butt cheeks literally hanging down over both sides of the seat on one of those things.
And those wheelchairs are built for people weighing 250 pounds or less(read the caution label on them), so those porkers have broken down or seriously damaged just about every one.
I suppose Wal-Mart will have to provide a more rugged unit for those who consider overeating a lifestyle and a right.
Something with tank treads perhaps.
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government.

New Yorks Next Senator? You Know...
Some quotes from Caroline Kennedy's recent comments:
Score: Eleven "you knows", two "uhs", two "ums".
Not bad, you know, for a potential candidate to um, replace the present Senator... you know, uh, Hillary Clinton.
I'm really coming into this as somebody who isn't, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know, the Democratic Party.Three "you knows".
I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person. And, you know, and that would be obviously true with my relationship with the mayor.Two more.
Andrew is, you know, highly qualified for this job. He's doing a, you know, a great job as attorney general, and we've spoken throughout this process."Two more.
You know, I think, you know, we're sort of, uh, sharing some of this experience. And um, as I've said, he was a friend, a family member, and um so, and uh obviously, he's, you know, he's also had an impressive career in public office.Three more.
It's really, you know, it's not about just the Kennedy name.Just one?
Score: Eleven "you knows", two "uhs", two "ums".
Not bad, you know, for a potential candidate to um, replace the present Senator... you know, uh, Hillary Clinton.
Oh-Oh
Worried about politics?
How about the ongoing earthquake swarm at Yellowstone?
Yellowstone is the caldera of a "super volcano", one that has erupted on a roughly 600,000 year cycle, with its last eruption being some 640,000 years ago, so another eruption is most likely due.
If it goes, it will make a man-made nuclear winter look like spring break. This bit from the Discovery Channel website:

The crater atop Mount St. Helens is about 2 square miles. The Yellowstone "caldera" — a depression in the Earth equivalent to a crater top — is some 1,500 square miles.Obama may be in for a hell of a lot more than he ever bargained for.
The 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption blew 1,300 vertical feet off the mountain, sent an eruption column 80,000 feet high in 15 minutes, ejected 1.4 billion cubic yards of ash detectable over 22,000 square miles, and killed 57 people.
But the last major eruption at Yellowstone, some 640,000 years ago, ejected 8,000 times the ash and lava of Mount St. Helens.

The Smell Of Rats Is Everywhere
Sen. Harry Reid, the Nevada Democratic Leader of the House, is already worried about his own re-election fight in 2010. So...
He went to the Virgin Islands to meet with contributors. Such an offshore stunt provides privacy and anonymity for the "contributors", all of which can afford the time and money for their "Let's buy us a Senator" jaunt to the Islands.
The smell of rat feces is everywhere.
Two Democratic Senate buddies, South Dakota's Tim Johnson and Oregon's Jeff Merkley, have sent emails to their supporters seeking contributions to Sen. Reid's campaign.
Can you dig it? Two Senators, one from Oregon and the other from South Dakota, are begging money from their constituents to help an endangered Senator from Nevada.
Lots of itty-bitty rat tracks in the desert sands.
Who might run against Virgin Island Harry?
It's going to be a great election cycle, full of charges and counter-charges. Stories will get juicier, charges will get nastier, lawyers will get richer.
Expect stuff something like this:
One final scurrilous comment:
I'll wager that there was not one single virgin - male of female - anywheres near that gaggle of Virgin Island contributors... at least not for very long.
Male or female? Don't forget that Rep. Barney Franks - another rat in the pack - just came out of the closet and announced his fondness for man-on-man sex.
Sen. Reid traveled to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico late last month to meet with campaign contributors. A spokesman for Sen. Reid said he expects to have $3 million in his campaign account at the end of the year, up from about $2.75 million on Oct. 1. Sen. Reid spent $7 million in his 2004 race.Let's pick at the scab on this bit of information.

Nevada's Republican lieutenant governor, Brian Krolicki, declared his candidacy last month but was subsequently indicted for suspect accounting practices during his time as state treasurer.The sewer rats have made plain their upcoming game plan... anyone who intends to run against one of the Light Bringer's team members will face accusations of everything from cooking the books to child molestation.
It's going to be a great election cycle, full of charges and counter-charges. Stories will get juicier, charges will get nastier, lawyers will get richer.
Expect stuff something like this:
California Republican Governor Arnold Swartzenegger announced he intends to run for president and was immediately accused by prominent Democrats of spreading AIDS amongst illegal immigrant homosexual quadriplegics in Los Angeles...AND San Francisco... and in your home town elementary schools.American politics... Already at the bottom and digging even deeper.

"Fodder For The Bigots"
More name calling...
The case is "fodder for the bigots," Abraham H. Foxman, the ADL's national director, said in an interview this week with The Associated Press. "It's both embarrassing and it's painful."
He's referring to the Ponzi scheme that has just sent many once incredibly rich Jews to the poorhouse.
And in case you are wondering , anybody who can afford to "invest" over a billion dollars of their own money IS incredibly rich, and you gotta wonder how they got it all.
Foxman is the same ADL dude that started up the boringly predictable "Anti-Semite" drumbeat the instant it became public knowledge that many of America's incredibly rich Jews lost billions and billions of dollars in this "affinity fraud" scheme, a scheme hatched by yet another influential and incredibly rich Wall Street Jew.
Same old story... as soon as some negative news comes out about Jews and money, out comes the "Anti-Semite", Bigot and Jew-Hater" stuff to re-direct attention from the real issue, which remains the reality that Jews have far more influence, power and control of America's finances and policies than they should have.
The Jews - of course - like to keep it a big secret amongst themselves, so when a bit of information about their excessive power and enormous wealth sees the light of day, The Abe Foxman's of the world start up with their predictable response to ridicule the idea and shout down and silence the news breakers.
So, while you are trying to figure out how to pay next month's mortgage and still put food on the table and a few bucks into savings, Jews who lost a billion dollars or so to this scam go commit suicide rather than trying to live on Social Security, or face the humiliation of having to go work with the common folk in a factory somewhere full of illegals, something that "Gods Chosen People" are just not cut out to do.
Reporting the facts of this debacle is not bigoted or proof of Anti-Semitism, but it does do what the Jews do not want... it attracts unwelcome attention to their activities.
So crank it out Foxman, accuse everybody who talks about this of anything you can think of that sounds disgusting or embarrassing. "Anti-Semite" is always good, It's a reliable old standby... "Bigot" is actually incorrect, but it sounds really nasty... And "Jew-hater" is always good for a few additional miles.
Notice how Foxman is not discussing any of the facts about this giant fraud, the amount of money involved, the perpetrator or the victims(If you can call billionaires victims). Instead, he's accusing those who are bringing it up of all manner of racial and ethnic nastiness.
Ever wonder why the Jews in America need to have something like the ADL?
Foxman's conduct - and the reason for it - is a good clue.

Enjoy This Christmas... Then Hang On
Robert Bartos over at Shrapnel pretty well sums it up:
What we can look forward to is another catastrophic four/eight-year term in office, orchestrated by the one and only light bringer, a man who has mastered the art of saying much and promising all things to all people, whether or not he has the ability to back any of it up.
The roller coaster ride we are about to take may make these few days of celebration a thing of the past for a long time to come.
Enjoy the day, it may be the last for quite awhile, although I think we'll make through Easter before the hammer falls.
Christmas is a time for gift giving. The biggest gift to America this holiday season is that the aggressively foolish GW Bush rule is finally finishing its catastrophic eight-year term in office.At least he didn't burn down the White House.
Apart from this pending good news of his imminent departure, his other gifts constitute socks filled with coal: two wars he started and could not win; US economic structure in collapse; international reputation for torturing captives; inability to organize for natural disasters; failure to protect national borders from illegal trespassing; continued massive dependence on foreign oil; a foreign policy dominated by Israeli interests; and an expansion of international terror.

The World Would Be Better Off
A twelve-year-old beaten and kidnapped by police... You gotta read this one.
I don't know for certain, but if I was the Father, or Uncle, or Grandfather of that little girl, I think I'd look up those three scumbag cops and remove them from the face of the earth.
It's called "community service".
If you read the article to the bottom, you'll find that the city of Houston decided these three badge-toting losers had been justified in their conduct.
Like hell they were.

A Life Sentence?
In Idaho:
But have an older woman take on a seventeen-year-old unmarried boy... and out comes the big hammer. It goes without saying that the boy had to be willing, that he was - at the very least - hot to trot.
Take a look at this list of female sexual "predators". There may be a "hottie" or two on the list, but look at most of them. The kid involved with them had to really be wanting to get it on... to even think about having sex with most of these howlers.
Calling a seventeen-year-old boy a "child" seems a bit unrealistic, particularly one that's headed for Iraq or Afghanistan, and a life sentence for a roll in the hay with one seems way too excessive.
You guys know better than to argue the point, but Moms and girlfriends may feel free to raise the roof. Moms have a tendency to believe that their seventeen-year-old is still a babe-in-the-woods innocent, and those teenie girlfriends just can't compete with some older broad that may actually deliver.
Communities and governments have tried to outlaw and legislate non-marital sex for 5,000 years that we know of. You can see how that's worked out.
Is there a better solution? Is anybody actually looking for one? Or are we just going to stick with the "big hammer" approach, and send all those teachers to prison for life?
Boise Police arrested 40-year-old Michelle Farley for two counts of sexual battery of a child aged 16 or 17.I always have conflicted feelings on stuff like this. Seventeen-tear-old boys get married by the tens of thousands and have all manner of sex with their wives - whatever their age may be - no big deal.
Prosecutors say the Borah High psychology teacher admitted to police she had sexual contact with a student, who was 17 at the time.

Job One... Duck And Cover
Now that the Obama team is headed for the White House, the two top dogs are already headed for the bomb shelters.
Vice-President-Elect Joe Biden says the economy is in danger of "absolutely tanking", but hey, it ain't his fault, and President-elect Barak Obama says the recovery will take years, not months, but hey, it ain't his fault either.
For the first time in their political lives, they were speaking the total truth. Were any of you really expecting this dynamic duo to actually do something helpful? They are politicans, not businessmen. Neither one has a clue as to how run a business and make a profit, or how the economy actually works. International trade to them is the process of exchanging a Japanese stock for a German stock.
They can talk, spend trillions of your future dollars, and raise taxes beyond your wildest imaginations. That's about it.
Remember the old saw about digging a hole clear to China? Well guess what... these clowns - along with the SOB's in Congress - will dig a financial hole of debt and obligation so deep it will finally reach China... and you already know who gets tossed into it.
Look forward to it.

Anti-Semitism?
Brettbart.com has some interesting comments on reactions to Bernard Madoff's arrest after his 50 billion dollar Wall Street fraud.
The reality that Madoff is a member of America's powerful Jewish community, that so many of the defrauded investors were wealthy Jews, and that he conned a number of exclusively Jewish charities, has once again shone an unwanted light on the Jews and their concentration around the money and power centers of America, and how this close-knit religious and ethnic minority has great wealth and influence far greater than generally acknowledged or admitted.
Abraham Foxman, ADL national director, said:
Indians own most of the casinos in America and rake in vast amounts of the money lost to gambling. Is pointing that out anti-Indian?
Foxman refers to a "perfect storm". But as in nature, a perfect storm cannot form unless conditions are just right... and this particular storm has the Star of David stamped all over it.

Jews are always a convenient scapegoat in times of crisis, but the Madoff scandal and the fact that so many of the defrauded investors are Jewish has created a perfect storm for the anti-Semites.There's that "anti-Semite" sound bite again. Is it anti-Semite to point out the facts about the people involved in this 50 billion dollar scam? That it was predominately Jews that had the 50 billion to lose in the first place?
