No kidding?

Recession Worse Than Prior Estimates, Revisions Show

Read the article. It further supports the figures in my previous post.

One thing I noticed in the article is the huge amount of mistakes made by the experts. Some of the tell-tales:

... shrink more than twice as much as previously estimated...

... initial figures tended to underestimate...

... further along than anticipated...

... exceeding the prior estimate...

... began sinking sooner than previously projected...

... almost 2 percentage points more than previously reported...

... boosted its adjustments for the underreporting and non-reporting ...

... government changed the way it accounts...

Marvelous.

Anyone get the feeling these high-paid "experts", these people upon whose conclusions millions of lives are adversely affected or changed forever, are just shooting in the dark? That they are just guessing?

Welcome to the club.

Corporate Profits by Industry, Domestic Industries, 2008.

Nonfinancial....................... -9.9
Utilities........................ -26.6
Manufacturing.................... -26.8
Durable goods.................. -55.5
Nondurable goods............... -15.2

Wholesale trade.................. -1.8
Retail trade..................... -14.7
Transportation and warehousing... -53.8
Information...................... -16.9
Other nonfinancial............... 15.1

Note that Manufacturing and Utilities were neck and neck, minus almost 27%.

Durable goods, the stuff manufacturing plants create, and transportation/warehousing are down over 50%. Makes sense, if we quit making stuff, there will be nothing to transport or warehouse.

Since manufacturing is how we make and keep jobs, how we keep our trade deficit/surplus* manageable, how the government increases it's tax revenues, -27% is a disaster beyond calculating if this trend continues.

If it was just a slowdown as the feds would like you to believe, it would be recoverable. But remind yourself that the feds have been shipping off our jobs and plants for years, so it's not a slowdown, its a permanent turndown. The jobs are gone, the plants are gone.

Still think we're out of the woods? you need to get your nose out of your TV and your video games... and pay more attention to whats happening. Whats actually happening, not what the talking heads and bimbos on national TV want to make you think is happening.

*Trade surplus? What the heck is that? Obviously something the federal government has no clue about.

Get Some Tar And Feathers

Citigroup and Merrill Lynch, which lost $55bn in 2008, between them paid 1,400 employees bonuses of $1m or more each, according to a New York state report, released on Thursday, on banks propped up with taxpayer funds.

These bonuses are being paid with taxpayer money.

The very same organizations, the very same people that drove us into this coming financial meltdown are still in charge, still robbing us blind, still laughing at us, still spitting in our faces.

When are we going to ride them out of town on a rail? Them and their buddies in Congress that have allowed all this to happen?

Reid. Pelosi. Specter. Kennedy. Franks. Boxer. Bernanke. Paulson. Rahm. To name just a few.

Why are these people still running around footloose and free?

Carbon Dioxide, Global warming, And Humans

A voice of reason:

Ian Plimer is a geologist, a professor of mining geology at Adelaide University, is an unremitting critic of "anthropogenic global warming" -- man-made climate change.

Plimer gets especially upset about carbon dioxide, its role in Earth's daily life and the supposed effects on climate of human manufacture of the gas. He says atmospheric carbon dioxide is now at the lowest levels it has been for 500 million years, and that atmospheric carbon dioxide is only 0.001 per cent of the total amount of the chemical held in the oceans, surface rocks, soils and various life forms. Indeed, Plimer says carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but a plant food. Plants eat carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Human activity, he says, contributes only the tiniest fraction to even the atmospheric presence of carbon dioxide.

Imagine that. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is at its lowest level in 500 million years. Of course, I would like to see the figures on that, so would you.

If Ian is correct, then people like Al gore should be taken out and horse whipped. Ian's statement about the carbon dioxide level - if factual - would show that Gore and his ilk are - and have been - lying through their teeth.

Gore is no idiot, and unless he quit reading rock-solid scientific reports on the matter about twenty-five years ago, I suspect he knows the real truth. But he would still force upon us all Draconian measures of control, expense and disadvantage strictly for the accumulation of his own power and wealth.

That is beyond vile and disgusting, it is evil.

This Is Just Great

From the Wall Street Journal on Israel:

The public outcome of Mr. Gates’s visit appeared polite but inconclusive. Yet Iran’s progress with nuclear weapons and air defenses means Israel’s military option is declining over time. It will have to make a decision soon, and it will be no surprise if Israel strikes by year’s end. Israel’s choice could determine whether Iran obtains nuclear weapons in the foreseeable future.

So. The real moment-of-truth, the real crunch time for the continued existence of today's version of the biblical Israel is apparently close at hand.

It does not matter what side of this winner-take-all fight you're on: Pro-Jew, anti-Jew, pro-Arab, anti-Arab... it doesn't matter. You don't count, your opinion doesn't carry any weight. You are ignored. Your concerns, your country - and your future - don't mean a thing to either side. To one side, you are an ignorant, uneducated servant - barely above a slave - to the other, you are an infidel, an unbeliever that needs to be converted... or removed from the face of the earth.

The Jews and the Arabs have been fixing to settle this particular chapter of their millennia-old fight, and they are about to come to blows again. Problem is, they both intend to use the latest stuff... nuclear stuff. And that does make it our problem, whether they like it or not.

The Arabs claim the Jews stole their land, and there is validity to that. The Arabs/Muslims controlled the area for the last 1,000 years. The League of Nations created the State of Palestine after WW1. The Brits governed Palestine under the Palestinian Mandate until 1948, when the United Nations, via Resolution 181, created two new states, Israel and Palestine, out of the one state already there, Palestine.

Ahh, but you say, the Israelites were there 4,000 years ago. So what? They were a group of people unsatisfied with their lot in Egypt, bailed and then spent some time in the desert raising an army. They then invaded this endlessly contested area, slaughtering every man, women and child in their path and establishing their little community, which - or course - was later overrun and destroyed by the earlier inhabitants. And so it has been since the dawn of recorded history. Both sides really know how to hold a grudge.

This conflict has existed on some level since then, repeatedly flaring up when on side or the other gained some sort of advantage.

Of course, the Jews loved the U.N. maneuver, and -
of course - the Arabs hated it. The Jews, with their claimed "divine right" to the land, bought the needed votes in the U.N., and had the modern-day State of Israel created out of thin air. But the Arabs said no way, and so the Middle East war re-ignited.

It will not end until one side of the other is obliterated, and that just won't happen. What will happen is that the entire area will be rendered incredibly radioactive for the next 10,000 years. That will end the issue of ownership.

Now the Arabs are about to get the ability - via several methods - to blow Israel into dust, blueish-glowing dust, so the Jews feel they must strike first.

Problem with that is only the United States and Britain - the two nations that pushed through the creation of today's Israel - are on Israel's side. The rest of the world agrees with the Arabs and believe the Jews have militarily occupied a place not theirs (religious claims aside) and caused all these endless problems - long enough.

If Israel attacks Iran, the consequences are unpredictable, but most assuredly bad.

Keep in mind that if Israel eliminates Iran's nuclear capability, the Arabs will eventually be able to buy nukes from other nations that don't like us, our Jewish controlled government or our empire-building tendencies. As the influence of the United States continues to wither under this Congress and the Obama administration, the chances of that happening increases dramatically.

If Iran's nuclear capability is eliminated, the Arabs, using our oil money to buy nukes, will still be able to eventually convert Israel into blueish-glowing dust.

America, Israel's only insurance policy for it's continued existence, is being financially, militarily and diplomatically weakened and drained to the point that one fine day, no one will any longer fear us. On that day, Israel's future vanishes.

If I was a Jew living in today's Israel, I'd be making plans to move back to New York or Florida.

Housing Prices

What do Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Minneapolis and San Francisco have in common? They're cities where home prices have risen recently.

That's according to the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which shows that prices are actually starting to rise again in some parts of the country, particularily areas of the country that has a lot of investors sitting around with money burning holes in their pockets.

But before you go off thinking that its finally all over, that we are out of the woods, let me remind you that a large percentage of these homes sales are not to individual home buyers, but to investors taking advantage of today's lower prices.

The prices of homes are rising because these investors have tacked on what they consider a reasonable profit, have re-listed these properties, and are anxiously waiting buyers.

These houses are still empty, have no maintenance being done on them. They are just sitting there. The only difference now is they have a new sign in the yard, one with a higher price tag.

Racial Profiling

OK, what is racial profiling?

It's when you single out a particular individual because of their race... for whatever reason.

For example, airport security is accused of racial profiling when they single out an angry-looking Arab as a candidate for bombing aircraft(Arab men love to look angry), or when interstate cops single out a black as a potential drug mule, or when a Border Patrol Officer singles out a non-English-speaking Mexican as a potential illegal.

The reality that most aircraft bombings have been done by angry-looking Arabs of one stripe or another, or that 70% of all drug mules on certain interstates are blacks, or that most non-English-speaking Mexicans are illegals, tends to reduce the chances of your white seventy-year-old grandfather of getting picked as a suspect for bombing aircraft, running drugs, or border jumping.

Now about this "honorable" professor that has been yelling racial profiling. He and his black driver were the only two people found by the police in a house that was reported as being broken into, a house with a busted-in front door. No racial profiling could have been made without a pool of races to pick this professor out of. But there were no Whites, Arabs, Chinese, Mexicans, Native Americans, Vietnamese, or eight-legged Martian Banths around at the time, except for the White, Black and Mexican police officers responding to the burglary call.

No profiling occurred.

What we really have here is a black man, comfortable with a lifelong habit of playing the race card any time he was involved in a situation not to his liking... with a handy white man around to point a finger at.

But this time, witnesses and recordings told a different story, namely the truth, so this "honorable" professor all of a sudden wants to drop his potential lawsuit, have a beer with the prez (his buddy) and forget the whole thing.

These are not the actions of an "honorable" man, so quit calling him "honorable".

Call him what he is... An exposed racist. It has been most likely a real shock to this professor to have a white man stand up to him, a Harvard professor, etc.,etc.

Same with Obama. He is "distressed" that he has been called out and forced to back down from his knee-jerk race card remark.

But don't expect either of these men to apologize... That's a white thing.

Victimhood

Obama's knee-jerk reaction to the arrest of a black Harvard professor has caused a firestorm of reaction. His comment about how the police had acted "stupidly" is not going to go away.

In my view, his comment about an event in which he had no knowledge of other than that a white policeman had arrested a black professor was quite revealing about his mindset on such things.

He automatically assumed the white cop was in the wrong, that the black professor had been unjustly detained, that racial profiling was occurring, etc.

This ingrained attitude of victimhood held by blacks in America is wearing thin. Blacks in America today have not been denied opportunity to prosper and succeed because of their race. Both Obama and this professor are outstanding examples of that, but so many blacks, as soon as they get in any sort of hot water, even this "honored" professor, drags out the race card as a smoke screen.

There were two other cops at the scene. Did you know that? A black and a Mexican. There were seven witnesses on the sidewalk in front of the professors house.

Now we are told they have an audio tape of the incident.

The police were responding to a "burglary in progress" report. The professors home had been broken into before, the police knew this. The fact is, the professor actually did break into his own home. He had lost his keys. He was the suspected burglar the neighbors reported seeing breaking into the house.

Let's just see who is the liar in this incident. Did the police act stupidly? Or is this a case where a black has allowed his rancor and resentment of all things white to surface?

Obama's telling remark exposes his anti-white bias. By any measure, this is not good... But then again, maybe it is. We need to know this man's motivations and intentions. He keeps appointing more and more minorities to positions of great responsibility in Washington.

Is it because they are the best qualified , or is it because they are not white?

Solar Darkness

People in Asia have seen the longest total solar eclipse this century, with large areas of India and China plunged into darkness.

Amateur stargazers and scientists travelled far to see the eclipse, which lasted six minutes and 39 seconds at its maximum point.

But I gotta wonder... How many millions of those people actually believed it was the end of the world?

Wowzers

How's this for a morning headline?

FISCAL RUIN OF THE WESTERN WORLD BECKONS

For a glimpse of what awaits Britain, Europe, and America as budget deficits spiral to war-time levels, look at what is happening to the Irish welfare state.

More from the article:

No doubt Ireland has been the victim of a savagely tight monetary policy - given its specific needs. But the deeper truth is that Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, the US, and Japan are in varying states of fiscal ruin, and those tipping into demographic decline (unlike young Ireland) have an underlying cancer that is even more deadly.

The West cannot support its gold-plated state structures from an aging workforce and depleted tax base.

Read that again:

The West cannot support its gold-plated state structures from an aging workforce and depleted tax base.

That is as accurate as it gets... Our gold-plated government structures continue to grow as jobs and tax revenues plummet, and we cannot afford it.

There is no light at the end of this tunnel, only a solid rock wall. How long to the wall? 12 months? 18 months? Who can know for certain? The only certainty is that the rock wall is there, and our gold-plated government structures are ignoring it. They are headed for it at a faster and faster speed.

Get your wife's jewelry, the gold and silver stuff, and hide it somewhere. It may be all you will have to barter with pretty soon.

Don't Keep It In Your Pocket

And don't leave it on anything flammable:

An exclusive KIRO 7 Investigation reveals an alarming number of Apple brand iPod MP3 players have suddenly burst into flames and smoke, injuring people and damaging property.

Pretty simple. The more capability these things have, the more power they require. The power comes from a very small battery. If the battery has even a microscopic flaw, it can end up as a short circuit. Short circuits generate massive amounts of heat. This can happen even if your iPod is turned off.

It's not an issue about capability, it's an issue of trying to manufacture smaller and smaller batteries containing more and more power.

It's not a clear and present danger. The chance of your handheld exploding is rare indeed. However, if you replace the original battery with one that may not have been built by a reputable manufacturer, you can cause your odds against an explosion to nosedive quickly.

When these batteries start getting manufactured by the lowest bidder somewhere in Lower Slobivia where quality control is only a concept, look forward to more of them going up in smoke... Or worse.

These batteries have to be manufactured under the highest clean room standards, lest they become a small bomb. It's happened far more often than we realize.

STS-51-L

We are in the midst of a lot of reminiscing about the moon landings, particularly Apollo 11. So much is being said that anything I could add here would be pointless.

But in the middle of all this moonshot coverage, a short blurb about the Challenger destruction was aired. Challenger mission STS-51-L was the flight in which frozen o-rings could not function as designed, allowing a jet of flame to burn through to the main fuel tank, causing the explosion we all remember.

I am greatly dismayed to see that today's common conclusion about the cause of the disaster was the faulty design of the solid booster o-rings.

This is not true. The o-ring design was quite sufficient to maintain the integrity of the booster joints. Two o-rings were designed into each joint because it was expected that one could burn through during the two+ minutes of burn, so the second was there for back-up.

In fact, there were several shuttle missions where the primary o-ring did actually burn through, but the back-up o-ring did it's job and protected the joint.

Understand... the back-up o-ring would have burned through also, if the burn time was significantly longer. The design engineers knew this, that one o-ring could fail during the two minute burn, but the second would not, there was not enough time for that to happen. The first o-ring had to fail before the second one could be exposed to any heat or flame. The time needed for the second o-ring to face sufficient heat or fire to fail would never be reached, since the boosters would have already burned out and separated.

Did the o-rings fail? Yes and no. Since the launch of STS-51-L was conducted shortly after a hard freeze, the o-rings had not thawed out. Frozen o-rings will not work. As a result, at the instant of booster ignition, the still frozen o-rings were unable to function as designed, allowing the blow-by seen in photos as a "puff of smoke".

The Challenger was doomed at the instant of liftoff, not because of faulty o-ring design, but because of political pressure to put a teacher into space, one that had a timetable of non-mission related events that would be difficult to modify. Had the shuttle crew been just the trained NASA astronauts, there is no doubt the shuttle would not have launched that day.

So we lost a multi-billion-dollar shuttle.

The new three-o-ring joints are more complex, harder to install and face a higher risk of being damaged (nicked, shaved, pinched or cut) during installation. We are fortunate that we have not had a second failure.

The thing that riles me is that the designers and engineers have been blamed for a failure not caused by them, but caused by decision makers more concerned with outside pressures than they were the safety and integrity of the shuttle program. They were warned by the engineers. The engineers almost begged them not to launch in such cold weather, telling them the o-rings were - without doubt - compromised.

But now history says it was the o-rings. Yes, frozen o-rings that could not function as designed was the cause of the explosion. No mention of the lousy decision to launch - even with repeated warnings that the o-rings could fail catastrophically.

Forty years. It's been forty years since we landed on the moon. What do we have to show for that forty years? Pretty photographs made by robots.

Sad.

More Writing On The Wall

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. home foreclosure activity galloped to a record in the first half of the year, overwhelming broad efforts to remedy failing loans while job losses escalated.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Relentlessly rising unemployment is triggering more home foreclosures, threatening the Obama administration's efforts to end the housing crisis and diminishing hopes the economy will rebound with vigor.

July 16 (Bloomberg) -- China overtook Japan as the world’s second-largest stock market by value for the first time in 18 months, after government stimulus spending and record bank lending boosted share prices this year.

Israeli and Egyptian officials said two ships had sailed through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea. Media reports in Israel said the two Saar-class missile ships had been sent as a "message" to the Tehran government, which has repeatedly issued threats against Israel and is developing nuclear technology believed by the West to be intended for atomic weapons programme.

But don't worry about it... everything is under control.

Heads Up, Lawyers

Africa leads the way:

Cash machines offer an ever-growing menu of services beyond merely dispensing money. For tampering criminals, this now includes a squirt of pepper spray in the face.

The extreme measure is the latest in South Africa's escalating war against armed robbers who target banks and cash delivery vans.

Great idea! Look for America's ATM's to soon have that fabulous feature as another fine public service from your bank!

And then wait until Grandma accidentally gets hit with the stuff some fine day while taking out her twenty bucks... lawsuit city.

But, you say, they will have sufficient safety systems installed to prevent such a disaster.

Sure.

"Cowardly"

D. C. Area drivers looking to outwit police speed traps and traffic cameras are using an iPhone application and other global positioning system devices that pinpoint the location of the cameras.

That has irked D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier (below), who promised her officers would pick up their game to counteract the devices.

"Thumbs up", "Gee, this is a fun job" very blonde Cathy is irked at all those cowards dodging tickets

Listen to her nonsense:

"I think that's the whole point of this[iPhone] program," she told The Examiner. "It's designed to circumvent law enforcement -- law enforcement that is designed specifically to save lives."

Now you know she's not so stupid as to believe what she is saying here, but she must believe we are. Otherwise, she would have said something sensible like, "The system is cutting into our revenue stream". But then again... She is a blonde...

Speed traps and traffic cameras have one fucntion... To generate revenue. They have next-to-nothing to do with saving lives.

Want proof?

Photo radar tickets generated nearly $1 billion in revenues for D.C. during fiscal years 2005 to 2008.

How many lives did they save? Zip. Zero. Nada.

The new technology streams to iPhones and global positioning system devices, sounding off an alarm as drivers approach speed or red-light cameras.

D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier also says using cell phones to expose speeds traps is a "cowardly" gesture. Note also she refered to the whole thing as a "game", supporting the idea that blondes do have more fun.

You go, girl!

Jeez... Where's The Barf Bag?

Biden speaks:

Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?’” Biden said. “The answer is yes, that's what I’m telling you.”

Oh well hell yes, let's spend more money, that will for sure keep us from going bankrupt.

Reality check: We are already bankrupt. We are trillions and trillions in debt, and all we can pay is the interest on it. Our industries and jobs are vanishing faster than Obama's brain cells. Our tax base is collapsing. The next mortgage disaster is just about ready to strike. Our true unemployment rate is close to 24%. But Pelosi has the answer, TAX THE RICH. (before they bail)

How many trillions more do these complete lunatics need to spend before they discover they have already ruined us? That we are already in a position to be a debtor nation in perpetuity?

We are about to become a third-world nation, run into the ground by a self-annointed president-for-life, unable to pay our bills, or borrow money, or influence even the smallest two-bit places like Israel. The dollar is about to be replaced as the world standard monetary unit. That means that trillions of dollars held in reserve by other nations will come home to roost. So this lunatic government will just print money by the truckload, and inflation will make your wallet and its contents shrink faster than your cajones in ice water.

Not only is the writing on the wall, its on TV, radio, in the newspapers, glaring at us if we only care to look.

But who's looking? Hardly anyone.

We're all a bunch of Nero's, fiddling while Rome burns.

At least Nero had his gold. But we're eventually gonna find out that the IMF and the Fed has plundered all our gold from Fort Knox.

Wait and see.

So You Think Things Are Bad Here?

Slavery exists as a brutal fact in Mauritania, a nation in Saharan Africa.

Officially, slavery has long been abolished in Mauritania, but the law has never been enforced and there are an estimated 600,000 slaves, almost one in five of the country's 3.2 million people, almost 150 years since the American civil war.

One in five. Twenty percent. That's a higher number per capita than there are blacks in America. If we were like Mauritania, every black in America would still be a slave, including Obama, since he claims to be a native born American.

Think about it.

Sotomayor

Obama's Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor defended one of her most controversial statements on Monday, saying she never meant to imply that a Hispanic woman would make a better judge than a white man.

If she really didn't mean what she said - and she said that more than once to various groups (by her own admission) - how can anyone believe what she says now?

I watched and listened long enough to hear her deny the racist and sexist comments she has made in the past, using well-scripted and practiced answers provided by her supporters.

A couple days of denial and outright lies... and she will be a lifelong Supreme Court Justice, but not for all Americans, only those she identifies with and has empathy for.

Just watch out as all her "Wise Latina Woman" opinions rapidly become very opinionated... and biased.

It will be most entertaining to watch as the two major groups of minorities start to squabble over the dying remnants of a once-prosperous America, built by the hardworking majority of real Americans that will soon be relegated to the status of third-class citizens of their own nation.

Think I'm kidding? What with the breathtaking speed that this Obama character is destroying our Republic, his intentions have become obvious quite early one in his administration. The amazing thing to witness today is how Congress is so eagerly digging it's own grave, and how what's left of the hard-working and tax-paying class of Americans are just sitting on their plump and still-comfortable asses... Determinedly ignoring the falling house around them.

I was hoping I wouldn't live long enough to see all this, but the speed in which it's all happening pretty much eliminates that way out.

Since my wife and I really have no options other than to stay put where we are, it's time to pass the popcorn, because it's going to be quite a show.

I'm beginning to feel like somebody out on the beach who suddenly sees a massive tidal wave roaring in... With no place to run.

Isolated Incident?

... Or another sign of things to come?

A tiny Mississippi delta town has elected its first black mayor after the white incumbent, unopposed for 30 years, faced a young challenger inspired by Obama's taking of the White House.

In Alligator, Mississippi, (population 220), a dying town with only memories of better times, Tommie “Tomaso” Brown, 38, defeated Robert Fava, the mayor since 1979, owner of the town's general store, Mary Ann’s Country Store, named after his wife.

After the election, some youngsters ran into Mr Fava’s store to taunt him. “They was pulling down their pants, shouting,

Kiss my black ass, because we got a black mayor,

swinging their things around and throwing stuff,” said Jennifer Green, 31, a black mother of 10.

Thirty one, living in a town of 220 with no jobs and no future, but still has ten kids. Obviously a Supreme court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg candidate if ever there was one...

These "youngsters", the ones that pulled down their Pants and were shouting kiss my black ass? What "things" were they swinging around? Whose "stuff" were they throwing around? Are they just ignorant and spite-filled anomalies, or are they the examples of today's younger black generation? Hate filled and vengeance bound?

Note that this article is from a British newspaper. Just try to find it anywhere here in the United States.

Martial Law

Bob's crystal ball says:

If the economy continues its tailspin into the rock-hard ground of reality, Obama and his cohorts will simply declare a national state of emergency and impose Martial Law.

This will guarantee we will never rid ourselves of this present administration and this Congress, since all national elections will be suspended during this declared crisis, which will last forever.

Prepare yourself for a life in a place where "Your papers, please" will be a statement as common as "Good morning", a place exactly like the ones that Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Pol Pot had worked so hard to create.

All we need do now is add the name of Obama to that list, who is at this very second - is working tirelessly to fufill their dreams.

The very best we can hope for is a country like present-day Cuba, except we will still have the H-bomb to keep the Chinese and the Russians at bay, unless Obama agrees to destroy them all, in which case you'd better learn to speak a foreign language of your choice, either Chinese or Russian.

He will declare Martial Law. Depend on it... And plan accordingly.

Of course, Bob's crystal ball is always cloudy, so check your own, results may vary.

P.S.
Want to know what the rest of the world is thinking? Particularily the Russians? Here you are...

The Sky Is Falling!

I can't take much more of this crap:

WASHINGTON — If the Senate doesn't pass a bill to cut global warming, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer says, there will be dire results: droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, worsening air pollution and more.

We have that sort of stuff happening every damn year - year in and year out - but now nutjob Pelosi's fellow screwball Californian Barbara Boxer is going to blame it all on global warming, something that is really not happening.

Facts are, the planet has actually been cooling for the last decade, but those droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, and worsening air pollution have been occurring anyway, and regardless of Congress, the green thumbers, and all of their horribly ill-advised new green laws will not - and have not- changed any of it.

Floods, forest fires, damaged crops, species loss... all have been happening since the dawn of time, but, according to Boxer, Pelosi and Gore, if there had been some global warming legislation in place at the time, none of it would have happened.

I think I'm going to throw up.

Somebody needs to take those two lunatic broads (and Mr. carbon-tax Gore) out of Washington - where they are doing great harm - and put them away in some nice padded cell, where they can claim the sky is falling to their heart's content.

Man The Bilge Pump

Eric Holder Jr., our first black Attorney General, is thinking about going after Bush and his cronies. But you should read the bilge he is spewing as to why.

Holder says that be believes such an investigation would no doubt plunge Washington and the nation into a new round of partisan warfare:

... And could even imperil Obama's domestic priorities, including health care and energy reform.

Further, says Holder:

he has been wrestling with the question for months. "I hope that whatever decision I make would not have a negative impact on the president's agenda".

Now for the real reason for going after Bush and crowd:

Obama and his political cronies are starting to realize that all their unwise and unsane policies are failing. They need some heavy-duty targets to blame it all on. In steps Holder with his investigation of Bush, all the while claiming that he is worried about how such an action could damage fellow African-American Omaba.

The highlighted article is chock-full of touchy-feely, emotional and completly bogus gyrations as to how Holder is soooo worried how "doing his job"(prosecuting Bush) might damage Obama.

What bull.

Such investigations will serve one purpose only... to shield Obama. Here's why...

Investigations - there will be more than one - of the Bush administration will focus the media limelight away from the now-failing policies of the Obama administration. When Holder starts investigating Bush, it will be at Obama's direct orders. Only a simple-minded fool thinks Holder is anything other than an Obama puppet.

Good buddies. They will cover each others back.

That is fellow African-American and Obama-Appointed United States Attorney General Eric Holder Jr's only job... To provide cover for the mistakes and upcoming failures of this madman many call president.

Wear Red...Get Dead

PDT DALY CITY -- Two suspected members of the MS-13 gang have been arrested and a third is being sought in the Daly City slaying of a 21-year-old college student who was shot because his friends were wearing red - a color claimed by a rival gang - police said Thursday.

Glossed over in the article is a the fact the shooters are illegal aliens.

MS-13 is a vicious gang mostly made up of Mexicans, both native and illegal.

What is really sad is how the Dad of this dead 21-year-old seems so out of touch with the world around him. He felt that he and his family were immune from the violence and mayhem being caused by these out-of-control marauding gangs full of illegals, who happen to share this Dad's racial heritage. That common heritage turned out be no protection for his familiy... none.

You know what else is sad about all this? Daly City, San Francisco, and the State of California are going to do nothing to weed out these killers and these illegals... Nothing.

Good grief, San Francisco even calls itself a "Sanctuary City", where countless numbers of law-breaking illegals can find safety, solace and assistance. An ideal formula for financial and social disaster if ever there was one.

Political "leaders" in California are consumed with the idea that millions of illegals in their midst are somehow an advantage for them at the polls. Maybe so, but the disadvantages are becoming unbearable and overwhelming. The cost borne by the State for the schooling, medical, social assistance and welfare for these non-tax-paying millions of illegals is what has bankrupted California.

The price we are paying for all these self-serving, lying, bought-out politicians across America has been steep indeed. We have been sold out, double-crossed, and robbed blind. It will get much worse, and soon.

But what the hell, a bunch of new season episodes are on tonight... And that's what's important!

End Of Days Just 96 Months Away

Capitalism and consumerism have brought the world to the brink of economic and environmental collapse, the Prince of Wales has warned in a grandstand speech which set out his concerns for the future of the planet.

The heir to the throne told an audience of industrialists and environmentalists at St James's Palace last night that he had calculated that we have just 96 months left to save the world.

The "Prince of Wales". More like the "Loon of England".

Somebody needs to tell this pinhead the real facts... That the world has been COOLING for the last ten years.

But just like Al Gore, he does know the facts. With massively frightful scare tactics like this, they are desperately trying to set into place their structure for world dominance before they get laughed off the world stage.

Gotta remind yourself that Prince Charles has been the village idiot all his life, and that the royal family has generally tried to keep him under wraps.

You know... inbreeding, and all that.

Stimulate This

Obama and his French counterpart were caught sneaking a peek at a the pink-satin-draped booty of a 17-year-old junior G-8 delegate just moments before the summit's official group photo was snapped in Italy yesterday.

OK, so what? Most black men - Frenchmen also - are well known for their wandering eye... balls.

My question is:

What is a 17-year-old pink-satin-draped sexpot doing at the G8 summit, and on the same steps as several world leaders?

They try to tell us she was a "junior" G-8 delegate, part of a group of 50 teenagers who had gathered at the G-8 summit to discuss how to improve conditions for teenagers worldwide.

Give me a break...

I'd like to see the photos of the other 49 teeners. My money says they are all sexually quite attractive and alluring.

Told You So...

Marty Marshall, his wife and two kids, after a family night of celebrating America and freedom with a fireworks show at Firestone Stadium were gathered with friends outside a friend's home in South Akron.

Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of black teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted and attacked Marshall and his family.

This is just the beginning. This hatred felt for all things white by so many blacks in America is going to boil over. They do not want equality, they want vengeance for injustices - not visited upon them - but for injustices that occurred centuries ago.

None of those black hoodlums shouting about how "This is a black world" have ever experienced anything close to the injustices of the slavery period. Neither have their parents.

Tell me... Do you think any of those blacks will be charged with a Hate Crime?

Blacks in America have been offered everything. Money, housing, education, positions of authority, preference, every opportunity that can or could be conceived of has been handed them on a silver platter.

But, the vast majority of Blacks have refused to educate themselves. They have spurned school and education as a "white thing". Then they get mad because they can't get good jobs, can't buy nice homes, can't get that snazzy tricked-out car. They can't get out of the ghettos they themselves have created. And then they blame us for their own failures.

Now comes along Obama, and with him, the widely held idea that the time of the white man and his power has ended, and the time for the black man has come.

Damn... Reminds me of that line in "The Return of the King" where the Orc pronounced... As he drove a spear into the [white] man's chest:

The time of man has ended. The time of the Orc has begun.

Sleep well.

Revising History... Another Attempt

Obama has sent a letter on White House stationary to the Kapi`olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Hawaii congratulating them on their 100-year anniversary.

In this letter he mentions in passing "where I was born". However, hospital spokesperson Kristy Watanabe, the public relations specialist for the hospital, refused to confirm or deny the veracity of Obama's letter claiming he was born at the hospital.

Talk about pressure... Having the supposed president of the United States sending a letter full of innuendo and potential threat over releasing any data... true or otherwise. Sort of a "Stay quiet, or I'll tax you out of existance" kind of letter.

Whens the last time you sent a letter of congratulations to the hospital where you were born?

How's That Again?

About this Micheal Jackson dude:

Virgin's trans-Atlantic flights to San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles were all packed with fans and VIPs, said spokesman Paul Charles.
"I think this is America's version of Princess Diana. People want to be in the vicinity. People from the UK and elsewhere want to share their emotions together," Charles said.

America's version of Princess Diana? Not a freaking chance.

According to most sources, Jackson was a repeat child molester that successfully bought his way out of legal trouble and prison - not a man to be honored or adored - as so many seem to be doing today.

To me, his white-bleached face, his plastic pixie nose and his crotch-grabbing gyrations were nothing more than the crude and obscene expressionss of a very sick puppy, hardly worth the remembering. But in a nation where ignorance, crudity and base conduct is becoming the norm, it's not surprising.

How Shocking!

A group of the biggest U.S. banks said they would stop accepting California's IOUs on Friday, adding pressure on the state to close its $26.3 billion annual budget gap.

No kidding. California's government has been out of control for years and now has to face the piper. Any bank that honors those IOU's are just accepting fancy toilet paper.

With the likes of Obama and California's Pelosi in the drivers seat, the federal government is taking us all over the same cliff.

I gotta wonder when my piddley-assed SS check becomes a federal guv IOU that the bank won't honor, will I be able to take it to Wal-Mart and get food with it?

Got your parachute packed? Better yet, who packed your parachute?

Straight Off The Deep End

Pompous, porky and red-necked Al Gore has just made his greatest contribution to the demise of the climate global warming/change movement:

Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.

Since the EPA has finally agreed that the planet has been in a cooling trend for the last decade, Gore and the carbon tax crowd have become even more shrill and desperate. If you don't agree with them you are a evil Hitler-loving, Jew-killing NAZI. They left out the bit about maybe you also being a whip-bearing, sexist, racist, homophobic, bigoted anti-Semitic and child molesting slave owner.

You probably own a GUN also.

You gotta remember that all the dire projections made by this batch of loonies is based on thirty-year-old weather data, mostly taken from the now-known and understood heat islands of the big cities, while the latest info about our present cooling trend has been taken from a decade of satellite observations, world wide.

Little known point: It has been estimated that Al Gore may make up to a BILLION dollars selling carbon tax credits if the law passes.

So now you know why Gore keeps pushing his message against a growing mountain of evidence against him.

It's all about the money.

The Dogs Of War

Great. Vice-President Biden has just given the Israelis the green light to go bomb Iran. Of course, it's really Obama's decision, he just used Biden to release this bit of news so he can deny culpability when things go to hell.

The dogs of war?

Well, the Jews in Israel are to America like a vicious pit bull in your backyard is to you. You keep it chained, but its busted loose before and attacked several of your neighbors and their kids. The only reason this dog hasn't been put down is because the sheriff and the judge are your in-laws.

Now, Obama - through Biden - has just unchained the dog and told it to go do whatever it feels like.

When the neighbors get enough of your out-of-control pet attacking their families and property, they'll come straight after you and yours... to hell with the sheriff and the judge.

People are that way.

And one of those neighbors has already tossed a firebomb into your back yard. It was called 9-11.
