Is it too late to vote for the white guy?

Regardless of what you might think when the video first starts playing, it is not pornographic at all.

The daily grind

From an article in the WSJ

Thanks for the laughs

I have been considering going to bat for the other team. Not like that you perverts.
I'm thinking about voting democrat from now on because of the endless supply of entertainment that they bring to the world. I have compiled a little list for your viewing pleasure.

• When asked about the Air Force One flyover of NYC, the White House press secretary responds, "you'll have to check with the white house on that one" ummm, Gibbs, that would be you bud.
• Barney Frank making fun of the people he represents. A woman asks why he is spporting a Nazi healthcare policy. He responds by asking what planet she spends most of her time on. Not sure Barney, but we all know you've been hanging around Uranus...
• All the problems Barry has been having with his teleprompters going haywire. I just know Bush is somehow responsible for this one.
• Bribing college students with class credit if they agree to spread Obama's agenda through Organizing for America, formerly Obama for America.
• Pelosi claiming that town hall protestors are wearing swastikas. The only thing remotely close to this would be protestors that had signs with crossed out swastikas. Turns out they don't want a healthcare system that is modeled after Hitler's, whodathunk?
• The liberal boycott of whole foods simply because the CEO doesn't agree with a government run healthcare. Those hippies are going to starve to death if this one happens.
• Cash 4 Clunkers, nuff said.
• Tax cheats writing the tax code and running the treasury.
• Not reading the stimulus, cap and trade, and healthcare bills yet still voting for them.
• Voting for the cap and trade bill before the darn thing was even written.
• Senators demanding that military generals call them Senator Jane Doe, you know, cause they worked so hard for that title.
• The Pelosi/Hoyer op-ed in USA Today saying that the town hall protestors were un-american because they sought to shut down opposition. Funny, back in 2006 she was a fan of disruptors, but only if they were anti-war protestors.

I'm sure there are many more kodak moments that the democrats have provided over the years, and I would just like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. You make me LOL and ROTFLMAO, keep 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!
