Here is a link to Google's flu trends. Does not look like much is going on right now...

Where's the Pulitzer?, or How Madoff, madeoff (with billions)

CNN/Fortune...

How Bernie Madoff did it
Madoff is behind bars and isn't talking. But a Fortune investigation uncovers secrets of his massive swindle.
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Since Bernard Madoff was arrested in December and confessed to masterminding a multi-billion Ponzi scheme, countless people have wondered: Who else was involved? Who knew about the fraud? After all, Madoff not only engineered an epic swindle, he insisted to the FBI that he did it all by himself. To date, Madoff has not implicated anybody but himself.

Someone is looking for a Pulitzer here. But people, there is an easy one out there...how about a little investigative journalism on Obama? Be a part of history. Uncover his socialist connections and bring him down, while bringing yourself up. Make Woodword and Bernstein proud.

"Obama read, trees bled"

Watching this CNN video, is it possible that even the administration has taken to belt tightening? BOTO can be seen reading his remarks from paper, not the teleprompter!



We need to get to the bottom of what is going on here:

• Will we see TOTUS in the unemployment line on Monday?
  
• Perhaps TOTUS has been overworked and just hired a printer to get a few days rest?
  
• Was the power in the Caribbean dirty causing TOTUS to crash and he needs a reload?
  
• Has TOTUS met with an 'unfortunate accident' and will the government cover it up?
  

Is there some risk for this president to read his remarks from paper?

Picture the protest signs now..."Obama read, trees bled!".
Then a conversation by the Soros backed protest organizers...

"But wait, he is promoting our socialist agenda by reading that paper."
"You're right, I forgot about our double standard. Destroy those signs immediately. Burn them or get them to the landfill, NOW!"
"Right. Then I'll tweet everyone and get them to disperse until we check with George on how he wants to handle this."

The tides of change

The tides are changing. You can feel it. The tea parties were a great success. The lack of or negative coverage by traditional media, and Nancy Pulosi calling an astroturf movment is having the opposite effect. That's the tide. You can feel it changing. That makes this country great. I have a glimmer of hope.

IBM--A bastion of capitalism.

From CNN.com...

(CNN) -- IBM's reported plans to lay off thousands of U.S. workers and outsource many of those jobs to India, even as the company angles for billions in stimulus money, doesn't sit well with employee rights advocates.

This sits perfectly with shareholders, however.

Take a look at the stock price over the last year...

Compare that to the DJIA...


IBM is a solid company with solid leadership. They are working for their shareholders as any public company should. The industry has changed, IBM has adapted. And doing a very nice job of it. IBM is not running a charity. Long live CAPITALISM!

Discovered lost video surfaces!

Here is a link to some video from the formative years of Barack Obama's bowling career.

Seriously, these Special Olympics people are nothing but class. How gracious that organization was in this article.

The president "expressed his heartfelt and sincere commitment to work with our athletes and make this country a more accepting place for people with special needs," Lum, the organization's president, said.

What Obama said on The Tonight Show adds to the discussion that's needed to raise awareness and has proven "an incredibly important and seriously teachable moment," Lum said.

From playgrounds to the "top rungs of our leadership, including our president," he said Americans have plenty to talk about and learn when it comes to stereotypes and how words can sting.

Any takers that this will be spun by the Administration as an intentional comment to raise awareness of the Special Olympics and their athletes? Really, these people have no souls.

Now I wonder if BOTO can spell potato?

Teleprompter-tales: Bush vs. Obama

I have blogged about this before...the teleprompter. Gaining so much attention these days. It even has its own blog.

We all remember President Bush, with cat-like reflexes, ducking the shoes...


(NOTE: no teleprompter)

Now, suppose BOTO was up there, with his awkwardly shifting eyes, concentrating on his teleprompter text scrolling by...



Would he have been able to duck the shoes?
Naw, don't think so. However, he might be OK if the guy was a bad aim and hit one of the prompter screens. But that might have broken it. Then BOTO would be stuck looking in one direction all the time. Now that would make him look more like a dufus. Watching him is more entertaining than American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.

With something like this...

The guy would be voted off Idol in a minute.
