Drink it up

Some people like their kool aid extra strong.
Please, don't drink the kool aid.

That 4 looked like a 9; I swear it did

This is hilarious. You can find it here, or just read on:

Enron Capitalism

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.

Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the
milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.

Cool temps in the north, heatwave in the south

Ok so this isn't a temperature map, it's a map of state by state credit scores. It is kind a depressing when you look at it.

Notice the bankruptcy belt from Nevada to Louisianna, I guess Utah isn't number 1 when it comes to bankruptcy filings.

Hey Ladies!!!!

I saw these pictures and felt that I would be doing you all a great disservice if I didn't share them.
To this list, I would like to add Leeann Tweeden and every stone cold fox on Fox news.

To this list, I would like to add the ladies of the view (sans Elisabeth Hasselbeck) and Rachel Maddow.

The choice is clear.

The $787 Billion mistake

Forbes has a lovely article about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act here.

Basically, the economy is slowly showing signs of improvement with the rate of job losses slowing, consumer spending increasing, and the stock market having recovered nearly 40% since March. The Congressional Budget Office is saying that only $37 Billion of the $787 Billion has been spent so far, so it is obvious that the recovery thus far isn't because of the ARRA stimulus.

I recall hearing our almighty teleprompter assure the nation that the only way to recovery was through this massive government stimulus, apparently that aint how it is going down. Recovery is coming because of the American spirit and free market principles. Whenever there is artificial growth, known as a bubble, the economy needs to readjust and shrink down to sustainable levels of growth.

There is no way of knowing if we are truly out of the woods in all this, but one thing is certain, if the government insists on spending the remaining $750 Billion there will be another crisis that we can't throw money at, a debt crisis.

The government needs to kill the ARRA before it is too late and drop the archaic Keynesian model of artificial government stimulus.

Hope and Change!

A nugget from El Rushbo

I was listening to Rush this morning and he had a quick segment with some similarites and differences between God and Obama.

Similarities:

God doesn't have a birth cirtificate either

Differences:

God doesn't think he's Obama

Liberals really love Obama

oh Rush, you harmless, lovealbe little fuzzball!

Spacial PC and crappy acting

What was the phrase? To boldly go where no what? has gone before. The original was 'man'. To boldly go where no man has gone before. Right? Look how far we've progressed. I just got back from seeing the new Star Trek movie. Great movie, by the way. Except that the Vulcans have moved in concert with the political winds. Yes. It is now, "to boldly go where no ONE has gone before." What the heck? Wouldn't want to offend. Also, Winona Ryder was Spock's mom. So not only was she made to look old, which didn't do her any favors, her horrible acting was ever present. (Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed when her character died. Scotty's beaming couldn't trump ugly looks and sub par acting. Oops. Did I ruin something.?)

Gitmo no go

How well does President Bob (Barack OBama) respond to public opinion? Apparently his vocab is set to produce what ever is popular.  (Please see result of Nov '08 Presidential election and the tenets that produced said result.) Will he now follow the direction of the public opinion winds and cease his move to close Gitmo? Why don't you gallup on over here and see what America thinks about moving terrorist suspect to a prison near you.

Barry says the darndest things!

I think we should start a new segment called "Barry says the darndest things!"
What say you?
In his speech in Eqypt, Obama bin Barack said the following about the relationship between Muslims and Americans. "This cycle of suspicion and discord must end."
To that I reply, if you A-holes stop trying to kill us, we will stop being suspicious! Problem solved. I like the comment from one of the members of Guns 'N Roses when he was on Hannity, "We are trying to teach a bunch of oranges how to be better apples." Something tells me they don't want to stop trying to kill us.

@timgeithner, LOL!

Tax-cheat tiny Tim Geithner was in China recently where he attempted to reassure the Chinese government that their American investments were safe. As you can guess from the title of this post, they literally laughed at him. Geithner also tried to say that no one is more concerned about the growing US deficit than the Obama administration. Ummm, I'm sorry, is this dude freaking serious? We need to get these pathological liars checked out ASAP and get them some professional help. Hope and Change! What a bunch of clowns.
