See, I told you so!

I admit it. I was a skeptic of the Stimulus. I never thought it would work. But The One (BO) was right. He gets to say those 5 little words -- "See, I told you so." Unemployment is on its way down. The recovery is in full swing. I know that if it weren't for the unrest in the Middle East, gasoline prices would be going down, too. They are up a little, so are food prices. Food prices will probably go up a lot more due to the increase transport costs. More people going hungry is going to help first lady Aunt Ester's fight against obesity. Clothing will go up, too. There is going to be high demand for the smaller sizes as all those people buy two or three sizes smaller than they have now.

The debt is rising faster than the Mississippi after snow melting rain storm. But the nice thing is we can print our way out of that. Sure it kills a few more trees, but hey it is all for the common good. I just hope the environmentalists don't think of them trees.

But summer is coming. It should be a great time to go to the beach. They probably won't be as crowded this year with it costing more to get there. Tourism in general will be down as more people take staycations. Fewer dollars flowing in the market. I wonder what that will mean. Probably big profits for the fat-cats on Wall Street. Yeah, we gotta tax them so its more fair. Damn Fat Cats.

Gosh, this whole economics thing with the interconnectedness is really complicated. I sure am glad the brains in the white house are on top of this. Aren't you?

Yeah, I am a sarcastic cuss.

Romer To Leave White House...

Christina Romer, chairwoman of Pres. Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, has decided to resign, according to a source familiar with her plans.

Romer, an economics professor at the University of California (Berkeley) before taking the key admin post, did not respond to repeated calls to her office.

Anyone care to venture that tomorrows unemployment numbers are going to be worse than the 9.6% predicted?

Rip van Winkle moment? Nathan Lane on SCOTUS?!?

Kagan Pledges to Uphold the Law, as Republicans Raise Concern Over 'Activism'

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan pledged on Monday to do her best to consider "every case impartially, modestly, with commitment to principle and in accordance with law" if appointed to the nation's highest court.

Speaking on the first day of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kagan said the court must ensure that "our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals."

What is going on? I have been so enthralled with the WorldCup action like the rest of the US that I just found out that Nathan Lane has been nominated to be on the supreme court!

A little makeup, a blue suit and a clever play on the name "Elena" -- "Lane". But really, this is a little too much. When are the politicians in Washington going to get serious?

Sports grovelling

England got robbed. Clearly. They obviously (even before 40 different camera angles showed it) scored a second goal there in the first half. The ESPN commentator with the adorable accent mentioned that expense was one of the reasons they do not have instant replay in the FIFA World Cup.

Its annoying to me that every news/sports broadcast I see is touting how enamored the US is with this World Cup and 'soccer is finally taking hold' in the US. I am just not seeing it. Seems like someone is trying to move The Overton Window.

So, faxing these talking points to every news outlet in the states must have come out of the FIFA 'technology' budget. Of course, there wasn't anything left for instant replay.

Only a couple months until the real football season starts.

Alex not aiming at Gulf oil spill area - for now

By LISA LEFF and GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writers

NEW ORLEANS — A tropical storm slamming into parts of Mexico isn't taking aim at the massive Gulf oil spill - for now - though any system can quickly change course and send cleanup efforts grinding to a halt.

The AP is dying for a disaster. All is well in the Gulf, cleanup efforts are at full steam under the direction of the B.O. administration (it stinks). But the AP is teasing us with the "for now" headline. This headline is saying to me 'Stay tuned, we are relevant and we are telling you so.' So I am 'staying tuned' -- to the Drudge Report.

Al Gore A "Crazed Sex Poodle?"

From TSG...

Masseuse's claims read like R-rated vice presidential fan fiction

JUNE 24--In a bizarre statement to police, the Oregon woman who claims that Al Gore fondled and groped her during a massage session described the former Vice President as a giggling "crazed sex poodle" who gave a "come hither" look before pouncing on her in a Portland hotel suite.

Sex poodle?
Naw, sex walrus.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Citzen's arrest! Citizen's arrest!

CODEPINK Attempts Citizen's Arrest of Karl Rove at Book Signing

Karl Rove was not visible and later they snuck him in a back door and had him do his signing in the children’s section. The smiling staff was all around his area. The rest of us waited in line, next to Anne Rice’s Vampire books, a fitting place to wait. The dialogue in the line was about, Rove, Sarah Palin and some tea party stories. Amongst these admirers of Rove were undercover pinks and veterans for peace.

In this exclusive video, we see what went down in New Mexico that fateful day.

A Glorious Day!

It is a glorious day here. 79 degrees and sunny. Birds are singing, people are laughing. I read where weekly jobsless claims have fallen by 6000. The DJIA is closing in on 11000.

The Republic Endures!

Therefore, I hear-by announce I am switching my voter registration from Independent to Democrat.

It is not going to be so bad. I pretty much never get sick. I can telecommute instead of driving everyday. I am looking for someone to mow my lawn. I want to do my fair share to 'save the planet'.

So let me say, B., Joe, Nancy, Harry, you guys are great! Thank you for all you do and have done and will do. Please let me know what I can do to help you! Do you like campaign contributions? I don't have an airplane to fly you off to an exotic destination, but I can give you lots of love.

I am so happy to be aboard.

Study: Warming to bring stronger hurricanes

Study: Warming to bring stronger hurricanes

WASHINGTON — Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes in the future because of global warming, seeming to settle a scientific debate on the subject. But they say there's not enough evidence yet to tell whether that effect has already begun.

Since just before Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, dueling scientific papers have clashed about whether global warming is worsening hurricanes and will do so in the future. The new study seems to split the difference. A special World Meteorological Organization panel of 10 experts in both hurricanes and climate change - including leading scientists from both sides - came up with a consensus, which is published online Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

This is a joke. Seth Borenstein says the debate is settled. You don't settle debate by consensus. I have not heard one mention of the scientific method. How about applying the scientific method and coming up with some cold hard evidence of global warming, let alone the effect on hurricanes. That is how you 'settle' debates. Lets have some data on what the hurricane season was like during the last ice age or the warming period during the Medieval Warm Period.

Remember climate scientists, Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You have squandered your credibility and done great damage your reputation. It'll be a cold day in hell before many people believe another one of your 'studies'.

The lack of embarrassment by Mr. Borenstein and the consensus makers leads only to the conclusion that you climate change is a religion, these people are incredibly arrogant and they will do what ever it takes to push their political agenda.

Sound the Alarm!

Half of world's primate species endangered, report says

(CNN) -- Nearly half the world's primate species are in danger of extinction, according to a report released Wednesday by a major conservation group.

The main threat facing primates -- including apes, monkeys, and lemurs -- is tropical forest destruction, with the illegal wildlife trade and commercial bush meat hunting also playing roles.

This is hilarious. Somebody with a FAX machine and a logo put out a 'report'? CNN picks it up? That's hard hitting reporting!

The next (one sentence) paragraph is even better...

Scientists say primates are humankind's closest animal relatives.

That is supposed to scare you in to doing something. Me? I'm laughing (out loud).

So the global warming thing did not work out, lets go back to "save the rain forests"...and "save the whales". I did a piece on that already.

This is too much. How can anyone take the (unnamed) "major conservation group" seriously? How can anyone take CNN seriously?

I am smart enough to know that holding my breath until the media/pundits/left handed bloggers call this One an 'idiot' would be fatal. After all, they have all taken a 'hypocritical' oath.

The floundering president

Will BO get a bump from the State of the Union? According to Gallup, he is still falling right up until the speech.

Since he did not get his message (on healthcare reform) out, he is taking a new tack and out relating to the common man at basketball games. And according to Dan Loumena

President Obama a hit as a TV broadcaster

Barack Obama, commander in chief of the free world, gave notice that if things don't work out in politics then he just might end up behind the microphone doing basketball commentary.

Yo Danny, are you sure he wasn't reading off the teleprompter?

Being a Duke fan, I watched the game. Joe and BO were yucking it up, enjoying the game. Just like a couple of old pals. What a couple of great, regular guys. I was surprised they did not have their sleeves rolled up 'working hard for you'. Those great guys can relate to me. They are so awesome. (Gack! Sorry, I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.)

Sorry boys, I don't think you will win an Emmy.

Socialist phonies.

John Edwards - Girly man.

The John Edwards saga gets better all the time...
Deputies called to Edwards home in 2008

Chapel Hill, N.C. — Although they separated Wednesday, the marriage of John and Elizabeth Edwards had been rocky for some time, according to public records...

John Edwards took Elizabeth's wallet? Really? At least he wasn't violent...you know wouldn't want to mess up his hair. I wonder what he did to not get his allowance that week? Oh, maybe it was the whole fathering a child with Rielle Hunter thing...

The state of North Carolina is having a rash of corruption in the Democratic Party. Let the implosion continue...

Obama = Lincoln?

How come we have not heard The One compared to President Lincoln in a long while?

Dear Grandma,
Thanks for changing my diapers for 4 years. I really appreciate it. Here is $250. Please vote for me again.

Sincerely,
Barack (The One) Obama

Probably because he is embarrassing all of us!

One Big Assed Mistake, America and A New Hope

The One (that was) is being called out: Zuckerman, Krugman. Yo, lefties, the guy is a loser. Remember the Olympics, 2 governor races, now the people's Mass. senate seat.

What a week! I think there might be hope for this country after all. The media (AKA The Admistration's lapdogs) discounted the tea party, townhall, common folk. Surprise! They showed up when it counted in Massachusetts. Now, everyone knows we are out there, we are now impossible to ignore. However, the arrogant elitists are still ignoring us. It's hard for us to understand that, but I think it is like a criminal who thinks he won't get caught. The judgment is clouded by this arrogance. Thank God for that. I just hope they keep it up.

They say it is darkest before the dawn. 2009 was dark, the economy in the tank, the rise of socialism, fascism, the debt, etc.

We are back, baby. Let freedom ring!

PS
Are there any of us common folk who are in support of Obama? I am hearing speculation that he may not be invited back for a second term.

Evolution, Beached Whales and Liberals

125 Pilot Whales Die on New Zealand Beaches, 43 Saved

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Some 125 pilot whales died in New Zealand after stranding on the beach over the weekend -- but vacationers and conservation workers Sunday managed to coax 43 others back out to sea.

Have you ever been behind a Subaru with a Christian 'sign of the fish' with the feet and 'DARWIN' cleverly integrated within it? This (liberal do-gooder) vehicle probably also has or had a 'Save the Whales' bumper sticker as well.

New Zealand beaches commonly get stranded whales this time of year. Liberal do-gooders try to save them. Why? It's the natural order of things. Whales evolved from land animals. Evolution has not stopped. Is this the beginning of the whales evolving back to land animals? Beaching behavior appears to be suicidal--to us. Doesn't this behavior cull the herd, as it were, to remove those with a tendency to beach? What happened to survival of the fittest?

When the beasts first started wallowing in the shallow lagoons, did some drown? If these liberal do-gooders were around 50-some million years ago, would they have built fences on the beach to keep the animals out of the water?

From the article above:

Large numbers of whales become stranded on New Zealand's beaches each summer as they pass by on their way to breeding grounds from Antarctic waters. Scientists so far have been unable to explain why whales become stranded.

Lets come up with a few explainations...

1. Hormones. They are on their way to breeding grounds. They could be disoriented thinking about that glorious romp in the waves.
   
2. Plate Tectonics. New Zealand may now be in the way of their historical migration path, and they try to take a shortcut overland. There is pleasure at the end of the journey, afterall. Wouldn't you want to get there as quickly as possible?
   
3. Chemical imbalance. Mixed signals have them thinking they can walk (and mate) on land...like in the old days.
   
4. Evolution. Why do people think they need to preserve species as they know them? What happened to survival of the fittest?
   

So the liberal do-gooders who try to save beached whales are meddling with nature and actually doing the species a great disservice. Instead of letting evolution and 'survival of the fittest' run its course, the gene pool gets polluted with whales who have a tendency to try to go back to the land of their ancestors. Our civilization is a fraction of a blink of an eye in the history of the Earth. Species come and go. Ask the dinosaurs.

Lawmakers Spar Over Decision to Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Illinois Prison

Lawmakers Spar Over Decision to Transfer Gitmo Detainees to Illinois Prison
From the article...

"This means a lot for our state in terms of economic opportunity," Quinn told reporters during Tuesday's announcement, adding that the vacant prison will become "the most secure prison in America."

"We're in a depressed area of Illinois ... with severe unemployment. More than 3,000 jobs will be created," he said, noting that "no one has ever escaped from a federal prison."

That's the plan folks, BO (whew, what stinks?) is going to make it so bad, that people will rationalize anything...yes Granny, this will include your death panel.

For now, The Republic Endures.

Stagnating Temperatures Climatologists Baffled ...

Stagnating Temperatures
Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out

Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average global temperatures have stopped rising over the last 10 years. Some attribute the trend to a lack of sunspots, while others explain it through ocean currents.

Anyone want to bet that the Gore-bot will take credit for this?
