There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
— William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

In the local news tonight, there was a story about a man who was building a house with a pool in Arizona.
When the safety inspector came by, after the house was largely done, the safety inspector pointed out that safety laws required locks on doors out to the pool to be a certain height, and that they not be easily opened by young children.
The builder then spent a few more hundred dollars to make the door certifiable, and the safety inspector then gave his approval.
Rules also required a separate fire inspection before approval. When the fire inspector came by, he said he couldn't certify the house because the pool door, the one closest to the kid's room, couldn't be easily opened, and could pontentially trap the children in case of a fire.
Your tax dollars at work, ladies and gentlemen!

"...the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many..."
And so it did, for Frodo was unable to cast the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom on his own, thus the pity of Bilbo in sparing Gollum saved Middle Earth when Gollum bit the Ring from Frodo's finger.
Things happen for a reason, and it usually well after the event that we come to understand why a thing has come to pass. That is how I feel tonight- it will be a while until I understand why my countrymen abandoned reason for "hope". Let us hope! that our fears will be unfounded. That is the best I can do.

Let me just hint one more time at the financial disaster we are already in, while Obama has been dancing the night away. The combined stock market valuation for virtually the entire (remaining!) financial industry, is already so close to zero it hardly matters, and will probably go the rest of the way in the next 90 days, if not the next ninety minutes, and I'm not kidding. What the Obamanator will do with this beggars the imagination. What ANYBODY could do with this, is almost beyond guessing. Offhand, I'm not sure things were this terrible in the 1930s, but hey, I watched American Idol tonight, and Obama is still dancing.

I have heard (radio snippets) part of the reason is the unmoving inventory. Not enough people buying to support refining capacity and so they shut down some refining capability and let the price float up with a lower supply. Partly the reason why here is because the state taxes went up again the start of the year, and all the local counties and cities jacked up too and changed the boutique regulations again so even more blends had to be made for fewer individual stations.
I heard some state politician complaining about the gas tax revenues were dropping off so they wanted to TRIPLE the taxes to help the out-of-work residents.

Oil's tumble will have follow-on effects for quite awhile, too. Speaking of which, there was a Bloomberg article today on PEMEX that I'm thinking of putting up in the spin-offs..... basically same bad news for Mexico as reported before, but updated numbers.
I heard some guest commentator on a talk radio show the other day (Lars Larson?) say that Mexico is about ready to totally collapse as a government, fragmenting into an all out civil war with gangs ruling cities.

There was a news article the other day... referencing a supposed DoD study (I think it was more an exercise...) that looked at possible collapse of Mexico.
As mentioned in the Bloomberg article (I think I'll post it), Mexico gets around 40% of their national budget from PEMEX... and with oil down and PEMEX fields depleting... various government programs may have to be put on hold.

Small correction: The US Military always tries to plan for upcoming threats. Currently, the U.S. Joint Forces Command's plans include "What If?" scenarios for the collapse of both Mexico and Pakistan.
Unfortunately, the fact that these are merely "What If?" scenarios often gets lost in the reporting.

I think the Mall was packed for the actual ceremony (although I must admit to sleeping through most of the speech!), and they even showed satellite photos of the crowd later. One estimate was 2 million, another I heard somewhat lower (maybe 1.5 million? Can't remember....). The Congressional luncheon seemed to go long, and then it took The Messiah FOREVER to make his way to the reviewing stand so the parade could start.

Having watched the past few months unfold, and as I reflect upon today's events, I am, as an American, encouraged that the founding Fathers of this Great Nation have provided us a governing system, which unlike the rest of the world, will afford a person of any race, sex, or background the opportunity to lead it.
I am also saddened to see that so many of today's Americans see this opportunity not as one of responsibility: to prove that the Judeo-Christian beliefs that are the bedrock of our Freedom--our Great Society--are more relevant to us (and to the rest of the world) today than they were over 200 years ago; but that this is seen as 'reparation' and 'reward' and is 'deserved' by many of the very people who abhor this Country's fundamental principles, and this moment in history is now their opportunity to correct those 'mistakes' made by the builders of this Great Nation.
I have watched with sadness as those whose ancestors in this country have sacrificed for future generations--proud people of various walks of life--especially those who were slaves, Native Americans, or soldiers--will be led by a politician who has no claim to this heritage, other than having had 'adopted' it at his convenience.
But, I am emboldened, and called to action! To defend anew those principles that my family and my faith have long valued--those principles that the Founding Fathers desired so much for America to be built upon that they were willing to give everything they (and their families) had so that future generations would live in a Land of Liberty, respected not for the might it wields against its citizens (or citizens of other nations), but for the opportunity, the safety, and the Freedom it brings to the world.
I pray that my fellow Lizards, of whom I am honored and humbled to be considered, will be strengthened and encouraged in the coming days. May you always have the strength, desire, and ability to fight and win The Good Fight!

I am back from my trip to Turkey and this is what I have written in a few threads ago and now re-posting it.
ok. hmmm, well this is a relatively poor country. They have no oil and they have a lot of problem with the influx of people from rural areas to major cities like Istanbul. One of the signs of a poor country is how many street vendors you see in the streets. There are a lot of them here. Even though I am staying at a relatively upper class neighborhood of Istanbul, these aggressive street vendors are every where. But I like the westernized youth here. Most of those whom I've come across in the past few days are very free spirited, educated and westernized. Though their parents and a majority of those who come from rural areas are very religious.
The secular Turkish society is in dire stress and can not sustain itself without help. Last time I was here, there were a few Burqa wearing women around. Now, they are almost every where and proud of what they do. Today, right after the cease-fire between Pali terrorists of Hamas and the Israelis, people came out chanting anti-Israeli slogans and cheering for Hamas gangsters. The Islamists have already taken over the government and courts and that's a major concern. It's very difficult to predict what will become of this country in the next 8-10 yrs. Turkey is a secular Muslim country, at least on paper, trying to join the EU. This is not Spain or Greece that benefited from integrating into EU. This country will add to the problems of the European Union. The Islam-West crisis is so visible here. On top of these, Turkey has so many problems regarding its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, independent writers and thinkers. Also the military who is (or used to be) the sole protector of the secularism here in Turkey can not do much because the European Union is pressing them to stay away from politics.That's one of the pre-conditions for Turkey to be able to join the EU. No more 1970s or 80s military coup, EU has told the Turks. Without the gracious US foreign assistance in 1950s and 60s, this country would have lost its bid to become a free market society.
Economy is doing a lot better. Their inflation seems to be under control but compared to North America this is one expensive place. A can of Coke is around 3 USD here. Crazy! Last time I was here their banknotes had enough zeros to compete with the Zimbabweans'. LMAO. Now it is way better. They have slashed the zeros and the exchange rate is great for a poor country like Turkey. 1 USD gets you 1.5 Turkish Lira. Food is not expensive here. Depending on what you eat. I should have checked McDonalds' prices. (even though I hate it, that's a great way to see and compare).
All in all, this place is between a rock and a hard place. Basically, I think of it as Pakistan of Europe. You know, Pakistan in Asia has an identity crisis. Turkey suffers from the same issue. They do not consider themselves part of Asia and Europeans don't want a majority Muslim country (even secular) in their union and try to keep them at arm's length. So just like Pakistan, this pretty place is stuck in a rough spot. It's their own fault, in my opinion. It's never late to choose. Personally I think the future of Turkey is bleak because the nice secular people have lost their guts to stand up to thugs. Islamism is in full force here and like I said, Secularists have a lot of work to do. I am hoping they succeed.

About a week after the election I was on the bus across from a young black woman with her little son. I would guess the little cutie was about 4. And it struck me- I was happy that this boy and others like him would grow up knowing that they indeed could grow up to be whatever they wanted in this country- even President.

It wasn't that long ago that the very idea of electing a Socialist to the highest office in the land would have been repugnant to many, yet now that has happened. There really was no contest once O decided to run. Women outnumber black men in the Senate, so there is hope for the future.

I can agree with you and be happy for that little boy - but please remember that one does NOT have to have "someone who looks like me" do something before they themselves aspire to that achievement. If that was a requirement, then no one would ever accomplish anything, as there must always be someone who is "first..."

ZOE LOFGREN WILL HEAD THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE AND INVESTIGATE CHARLIE RANGEL:Reporting from Washington — Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) has been named chairwoman of the House Ethics Committee, taking over at a crucial time for the nation and further increasing California’s clout in Washington.
A pledge by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) to “drain the swamp” — referring to a culture of corruption that many said had permeated Republican-controlled Washington — helped Democrats win control of the House in 2006. But at the top of the committee’s current agenda is an investigation of a powerful Democrat, Rep. Charles B. Rangel of New York, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

I just logged on to the net – but if I see a picture of Obama I am going puke.
So, I pose this question to the navy guys: Is Debka blowing smoke?
[Debka claims]
US and Egyptian warships were scouring the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea Tuesday, Jan. 20 to waylay an Iranian freighter carrying scores of heavy rockets for delivery to Hamas. DEBKAfile's exclusive sources report they were acting on intelligence that a ship loaded with an estimated 60 tons of arms to replenish Hamas' depleted war stocks had set out from the Iranian Persian Gulf port of Bandar Abbas on Jan. 17.
Our sources reveal that the arms-smuggling vessel started its voyage as the Iran-Hedayat and changed its name in mid sea to Famagustus registered to Panama. The captain was ordered by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to unload its cargo at a smugglers cove on the southeastern coast of Sinai opposite the Gulf of Suez...
US-Egyptian Red Sea hunt for Iranian ship carrying 60 tons of arms for Hamas
[and]
The USS San Antonio amphibian warship, heading the Combined Task Force (CTF) 151 patrolling the Gulf of Aden for pirates, has been assigned with hunting down the Iranian cargo vessel carrying 60 tons of rockets and other arms for smuggling into Gaza. This is revealed by DEBKAfile's exclusive military sources. CTF 151 is a new American force, announced in Washington Saturday Jan. 17, for fighting the Somali pirates plaguing the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and Red Sea, under the command of Rear Adm. Terry McKnight. These are the very waterways plied by Iranian arms smugglers for Hamas, often in conjunction with Somali pirates and Sinai Bedouin militias.
US anti-piracy task force to intercept Iran's Hamas arms ship
[Globalsecurity]
SAN ANTONIO, At Sea (NNS) -- Amphibious transport dock ship USS San Antonio (LPD-17), the flagship for Combined Task Force 151, is serving as an afloat forward staging base(AFSB) during its current counterpiracy mission.
"We're able to embark and support a wide range of forces and equipment, and as the [executive officer], it is my job to ensure that these embarked units-- just like the crew -- have the resources and support they need to accomplish their assigned tasking," said Lt. Cmdr. Sean Kearns, San Antonio's executive officer. As an AFSB, the San Antonio brings a robust capability to the theater and task force commanders, and the breadth and depth of embarked forces currently on board San Antonio are a prime example. Those embarked on San Antonio from the Marine Corps are the 3rd platoon of the 26 Marine Expeditionary Unit's (MEU) 'Golf' Infantry Company, a military police detachment, and intelligence personnel.
Others using the ship as an AFSB include an eight-man Coast Guard law enforcement detachment (LEDET) that specializes in maritime interdiction operations, three HH-60H helicopters from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 3 that cross-decked from USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), and members of Fleet Surgical Team 8 who bring a level-two surgical capability to the ship to deal with trauma, surgical, critical care and medical evacuation needs.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, 'Obama in '08 .' I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health.

The peanut Farmer brained asshat has quite a rap-sheet, he probably instructed Arafat to turn down the Camp David offer:
PDF - Dershowitz: The Case Against President Jimmy Carter
On the basis of this evidence, I and several students have put to Carter the following specific questions, which he has refused to answer:
Was Carter asked his advice by Yasser Arafat, or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority, regarding whether to accept or reject the offer of Palestinian statehood proposed by President Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak at Camp David and/or Taba? If not, did Carter offer any advice on this or related issues or express any views about the matter before the end of January 2001?
If he gave any such advice, what exactly was it?
Did he say before or at the time of these negotiations what we know he said thereafter, namely that “There was no possibility that any Palestinian leader could accept such terms and survive”? (What does this say about Carter's views of the Palestinian people?)

Beer wants to make you sociable; Obama wants to make you socialist.
No matter how often you pee, you can't rid yourself of Obama.
A beer hangover means you had a good time; an Obama hangover means the good times are gone.
Beer will make the ball game more fun; Obama will tax your balls off.

re: #301 winston06
I am back from my trip to Turkey and this is what I have written in a few threads ago and now re-posting it.
ok. hmmm, well this is a relatively poor country. They have no oil and they have a lot of problem with the influx of people from rural areas to major cities like Istanbul. One of the signs of a poor country is how many street vendors you see in the streets. There are a lot of them here. Even though I am staying at a relatively upper class neighborhood of Istanbul, these aggressive street vendors are every where. But I like the westernized youth here. Most of those whom I've come across in the past few days are very free spirited, educated and westernized. Though their parents and a majority of those who come from rural areas are very religious.
The secular Turkish society is in dire stress and can not sustain itself without help. Last time I was here, there were a few Burqa wearing women around. Now, they are almost every where and proud of what they do. Today, right after the cease-fire between Pali terrorists of Hamas and the Israelis, people came out chanting anti-Israeli slogans and cheering for Hamas gangsters. The Islamists have already taken over the government and courts and that's a major concern. It's very difficult to predict what will become of this country in the next 8-10 yrs. Turkey is a secular Muslim country, at least on paper, trying to join the EU. This is not Spain or Greece that benefited from integrating into EU. This country will add to the problems of the European Union. The Islam-West crisis is so visible here. On top of these, Turkey has so many problems regarding its treatment of ethnic and religious minorities, independent writers and thinkers. Also the military who is (or used to be) the sole protector of the secularism here in Turkey can not do much because the European Union is pressing them to stay away from politics.That's one of the pre-conditions for Turkey to be able to join the EU. No more 1970s or 80s military coup, EU has told the Turks. Without the gracious US foreign assistance in 1950s and 60s, this country would have lost its bid to become a free market society.
Economy is doing a lot better. Their inflation seems to be under control but compared to North America this is one expensive place. A can of Coke is around 3 USD here. Crazy! Last time I was here their banknotes had enough zeros to compete with the Zimbabweans'. LMAO. Now it is way better. They have slashed the zeros and the exchange rate is great for a poor country like Turkey. 1 USD gets you 1.5 Turkish Lira. Food is not expensive here. Depending on what you eat. I should have checked McDonalds' prices. (even though I hate it, that's a great way to see and compare).
All in all, this place is between a rock and a hard place. Basically, I think of it as Pakistan of Europe. You know, Pakistan in Asia has an identity crisis. Turkey suffers from the same issue. They do not consider themselves part of Asia and Europeans don't want a majority Muslim country (even secular) in their union and try to keep them at arm's length. So just like Pakistan, this pretty place is stuck in a rough spot. It's their own fault, in my opinion. It's never late to choose. Personally I think the future of Turkey is bleak because the nice secular people have lost their guts to stand up to thugs. Islamism is in full force here and like I said, Secularists have a lot of work to do. I am hoping they succeed.
Turkey should not be allowed into the European Union. Islam has shown itself diametric to the West, culture, religious freedom, the separation of religion and state, and personal liberty. This historical fact may, unfortunately, not be reformable.

You, especially, might be interested to know that Tom Brokaw likened wheelchair-bound VP Cheney to your fellow character, Dr. Strangelove. This was only part of the barking mad hyperbole that characterized MSM coverage of the inauguration.
Brokaw also equated the change of power to the Velvet Revolution, the term used for the overthrow of Czechoslovakia's communist regime in 1989. His colleague, Chris "Tingle Leg" Matthews, took the opposite tack; declaring that the Bush family were like the Romanovs, the Russian rulers overthrown and subsequently murdered by communists.
(If things don't go right, that one, at least, could contain some small grain of truth.)
One ABC droid declared that the magnificence of occasion made the weather feel warmer. He added that even the seagulls were awed. What, for the love of Trotsky, does it take to impress a seagull?

A republican, a democrat and an independent were on a boat, lost at sea. One day a magic lamp washed up next to their boat, so they plucked it out of the water and gave it a rub.
Sure enough, a genie came out, and seeing the three of them said he would grant them each one wish.
The republican said, "Ah! I wish I was back in Texas with a nice cold beer."
*POOF* He was gone.
Seeing this, the independent said, "I wish I was back in California with a nice glass of Chardonnay."
*POOF* He was gone.

Might be.

Mornin folks, if you aren't clinging to your guns - start. Jim Geraghty reports: Now Obama Debuts Pledge to Make Guns 'Childproof'
Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the
closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'
'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight,...... let's pretend

MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's), MUST NOT BEAT ME, MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME
& MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED!

On the second day, she heard the doorbell.
Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a grey-haired gentleman
sitting in a wheelchair. He had no arms or legs.
The old woman said, 'You're not really asking me to consider you, are you?
Just look at you...you have no legs!
The old man smiled, 'Therefore, I cannot run around on you!'
She snorted. 'You don't have any arms either!'
Again, the old man smiled, 'Therefore, I can never beat you!'
She raised an eyebrow and asked intently, 'Are you still good in bed?'
The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said,

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and
female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop
their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to
mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give
birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition
depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to
Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known... ONLY women would be able to
drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night

Obama gives up trying to change anything
‘I gave it my best shot all morning’ said the 44th President of the United States just hours after his inauguration, ‘but people kept pointing out all these obstacles and problems and apparently it’s all very well talking about change, but actually doing it is like, really, really hard.’
The new President had been elected on a wave of enormous optimism and expectation that some political commentators had predicted might be hard to live up to. But even the most hardened cynics had not expected Obama to give up trying to effect meaningful change quite so quickly. ‘There’s like, all these people you have to persuade to do things differently, and then you have to write special laws, and haggle with Congress, blah, blah, blah – it’s really all much too much hassle. I thought we could maybe just call on market forces to rise to the challenge of the new millennium or something.’

Geesh, Michelle. That didn't last long. And you were so proud for such a short period of time.
That yellow dress must be bunching up on you.
random quotes from Ace of Spades:
So for those who aren't happy with my snarking on Michelle "Gilded Sasquatch" Obama -- have some perspective.
I'm not saying she looks enormous, forbidding, and medieval. I'm just saying Mrs. Witch-King of Angmar almost wore the same thing.
I don't know who wrote this, but it's funny:
She doesn't need a purse. She needs endtables.
Yeah, I'm not saying she looks like some enormous piece of ungainly furniture, but whenever I'm in the same room with her, I simply must know how she looks opposite the divan.
She first wore that dress in her only Hollywood acting job, when she played The Vault in Kelley's Heroes.
She's wearing more gold foil than the Apollo Moon Lander.
She looked like a chick Aslan from Narnia used to date, before she got heavy.
She looks like Snuffalupagus' cousin, Muffalupagus, auditioning for a part in The Wiz.
She looks like the Solid Gold Dancers. No, I mean all of them.

Last one.
A white guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp
partially buried in the sand. He picks up the lamp and gives it a rub.
Two blonde genies appear, and they tell him he has been granted three
wishes.
The guy makes his three wishes and the blonde genies disappear.
The next thing the guy knows, he's in a bedroom, in a golf-course mansion,
surrounded by 50 beautiful women. After he makes love to all of them, he
begins to explore this fabulous house. Suddenly he feels something soft
under his feet, he looks down and the floor is covered in £100 notes.
There's a knock at the door he answers it and standing there are two people
dressed in Ku Klux Klan outfits. They drag him outside to the nearest tree,
throw a rope over a branch and hang him by the neck until he's dead.
As the Klansmen are walking away, they remove their hoods.
It's the two blonde genies.
One blonde genie says to the other one, 'I can understand the first wish
having all these beautiful women to make love to, I can also understand him
wanting to be a millionaire, but why he wanted to be hung like a black man
is beyond me.'

The one thing I can say I'm already impressed with is the Obama daughters. They are beautiful little girls, and they didn't come across as spoiled at all.
The MSM, on the other hand, reminded me why I don't watch TV news. I think it was Tom Brockaw who gushed, "There hasn't been children in the White House since the Kennedys!"

A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for a few years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was
pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum
of money if she would go to Italy to have the child. If she stayed in Italy,
he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but wondered how he would know when the baby was born. To keep
it discrete, he told her to mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on
the back. He would then arrange for child support.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today."
"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he said.
The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and
fainted.
On the card was written "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without."

Zuma's Wives
Number one
Sizakele Khumalo - whom he met in 1959. She lives at his rural R1,5-million
home at Nkandla in northern KwaZulu- Natal and they have no children.
• Ex-wife
Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma - with whom he had four
children - Msholozi, 24, Gugu, 22, Thuli, 21 and Thuthi, 19. They divorced
in June 1998 due to "irreconcilable differences."
• Late wife
Kate Zuma - with whom he had five children - Saady, 29, twins Duduzile and
Duduzane both 25, Phumzile, 20 and Vusi. She committed suicide on December
8, 2000 after apparent strained relations with Zuma.
• Still on honeymoon
Nompumelelo Mantuli Zuma - whom he married in January. She has two
children Thandiswe, 7 and eight month old Sinquobile.
• Waiting in the wings
Thobeka Stacey Mabhija - with whom he has two children including a 5 month
old baby
• Mrs Jacob Zuma number six?
Bongi Ngema - from Umlazi, has a seven month old son
• Old flame
Minah Shongwe - who is Zuma's old flame. Shongwe, the sister of Judge
Jeremiah Shongwe has a 30 year old son, Edward with Zuma.
• Left at the altar
Zuma also paid half lobolo for Swazi Princess Sebentile Dlamini, 38, the
granddaughter of King Sobhuza III, in 2002 but nothing has come out of it.

Why the Big 3 are in trouble.
A Japanese company (Toyota) and an American company (Ford Motors) decided to
have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard
to reach their peak performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.
The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the
reason for the crushing defeat. A
management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and
recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people
rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 7 people steering
and 2 people rowing.
Feeling a deeper study was in order; American management hired a consulting
company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They
advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not
enough people were rowing.
Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another
loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally
reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 2 area steering superintendents and 1
assistant superintendent steering manager.
They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 2 people
rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing
Team Quality First Program', with meetings, dinners and free pens for the
rowers. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other
equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The pension
program was trimmed to 'equal the competition' and some of the resultant
savings were channeled into morale boosting programs and teamwork posters.
The next year the Japanese won by two miles.
Humiliated, the American management laid-off one rower, halted development
of a new canoe, sold all the paddles, and canceled all capital investments
for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives
as bonuses.
The next year, try as he might, the lone designated rower was unable to even
finish the race (having no paddles), so he was laid off for unacceptable
performance, all canoe equipment was sold and the next year's racing team
was out-sourced to India.
Sadly, the End.
Here's something else to think about:
Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US,
claiming they can't make money paying
American wages. Toyota has spent the last thirty years building more than a
dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's Results:
Toyota makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses.
Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses... and
now wants the Government to 'bail them out'.

Good morning.
The market, and especially the financial sector got pounded again yesterday, down about 4%. It was the worst drop ever in history on inauguration day.
The reasons for the massive drop are that the investors became convinced that Obama will completely nationalize the banks (thus wiping out owners equity in those firms) and Pelosi ran her mouth over the weekend, privately vowing to raise capital gains taxes, thus wiping out any earnings for investors.
President Obama is now on the clock and has about 48 hours to come out with a clear statement of what he is going to do about all this.
But, get ready for a bunch of Executive Orders today addressing the left wing agenda issues like closing GITMO and stem cell research.

Rather than be happy that her lord and savior is President, today Maureen Dowd takes yet another cheap shot at George Bush:
Exit the Boy King
It was the Instant the Earth Stood Still.
Not since Klaatu landed in a flying saucer on the Ellipse has Washington been so mesmerized by an object whirring through the sky.
But this one was departing, not arriving.
As W. ceased to be president, he flew off over the Capitol and across the Mall en route to Andrews Air Force Base, and then back to Texas.
I’ve seen many presidents come and go, but I’ve never watched a tableau like the one Tuesday, when four million eyes turned heavenward, following the helicopter’s path out of town. Everyone, it seemed, was waving goodbye, with one or two hands, a wave that moved westward down the Mall toward the Lincoln Memorial, and keeping their eyes fixed unwaveringly on that green bird.
They wanted to make absolutely, positively certain that W. was gone. It was like a physical burden being lifted, like a sigh went up of “Thank God. Has Cheney’s wheelchair left the building, too?”
You know, I've been wondering what the MSM would do with their hate of Bush after he left office. You have your answer, they will continue that hate.

MEXICO CITY — A Latin American billionaire looks to expand his empire in the United States in a deal that could make him the largest shareholder of The New York Times Co.
The $250 million investment by Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim could provide some synergies with his telecommunications holdings in Latin America, analysts say.
Perhaps more importantly, Slim, reputed to be the world's second-richest man, would gain the prestige of owning one of the world's best-known and most influential newspapers.
"By having a stake in the New York Times, he's basically projecting himself as a powerbroker in this country, regardless of how his investment does," said Armand Peschard-Sverdrup, a senior associate of the Center For Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.
The Times announced late Monday the financing agreement with Slim's companies Banco Inbursa and Inmobiliaria Carso for $125 million each. Times President Janet L. Robinson said the cash infusion will be used to refinance existing debt and will provide the company with increased financial flexibility.
So I guess the real estate market was too depressed for the NYSlimes to sell 250 million in its properties and no one was looking to buy into its Red Sox interest, so they had to go foreign. Once again the Mexicans have to do the jobs (investing) that Americans can't or won't do.
Will they change their masthead to the Tijuana Times, All the News That's Fit For Gringos?
Unless the investor's got some of the Class A family stock, looks like he's just burning his money down this rat hole paper.

The government is going to try and keep the markets propped up as long as they can. Unfortunately if you print the amount of money that we have already printed and propose to print (2009 deficit already at 2 Trillion, most likely will go to 3 Trillion), you have to pay the inflation piper. Once said piper begins to be paid, get ready for the pain. What boggles my mind is that the 535 idiots in Congress don't understand basic economics (Adam Smith) but instead have decided to follow Keynesian theory that has been proven time and time again to fail miserably.

At this point, I think most of the traditional methods of predicting market performance no longer apply. I know chartists who think we are going up 2000 points, I know others who think it's going to 5000 or 6000.
All I know is it's going to get dang bad out there.
If they had set up the "bad bank" right off the bat to deal with the toxic assets we may have had a better outcome with the banking system.
But now, I think it's look out below. Everyone is so spooked and scared, the fear factor is so high that it looks like it's going to tank. And the Obama team so far does not seem to have a clue what to do about it except spend even more money than Bush did.
I think we are looking at a multi-year downturn.

I agree on all points. With a multiyear downturn, unless we get a strong fiscal conservative in the White House in four years, will come with a decades long recovery. The market didn't bottom until 1933 during the depression and it arguably took decade (and WWII) to get us out. It didn't return to pre-depression leves until 1943 or so. No one really knows if the New Deal would have helped but historians argue that it did nothing but prolong the misery. If history is any guide, we are in for a miserable time for the foreseeable future.

Someone sent Powerline an email regarding the proposed NYT deal:
Apparently the New York Times Corp. has accepted an offer from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim to put $250 million into the company. But, man...are the terms onerous!...It's a debenture carrying BOTH a 14% coupon --- junk bond territory ---- AND warrants for 18% of the company, the third largest share...exercisable at a DISCOUNT to Friday's closing price!...the warrants are in the money NOW!....it gets worse...they cut their dividend in November by 75%...reducing the Sulzbergers' income dramatically...and the new $250 million probably isn't close to enough for their liquidity needs...so they will probably do a $225 million sale/leaseback of the Times office building!...in combination.....this is a CLASSIC instance of corporate desperation..."last chance finance"...richly deserved....

A new dawn, new fears for Obama presidency

"I don't ask for much, I only want your trust and you know it don't come easy" -- Ringo Starr
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- A new dawn has arrived, full of promises, hope and a fair amount of fear.
Barack Obama was sworn in Tuesday as the 44th President of the United States of America. In the storied history of democracy, there has never been a transfer of power where the fortunes of so many were pinned to the lapel of one man.
I traditionally avoid the perception of political affiliation -- as a financial columnist, my motivation is to offer an unbiased assessment of the global landscape -- but I will share that I support this administration.

Black conservative Shelby Steele, writing in today's Wall Street Journal:
"Of course the bad economy has checked some of Mr. Obama's progressive ambitions. He will live with the Bush tax cuts for the time being, and he may include some business tax cuts in his stimulus package. But he clearly wants a more redistributive and socially activist government. And he will be helped in this by two unique sources of authority: the urgency of our economic troubles and his moral authority as the first black president. Again, I am not hopeful for him here, and I despair at seeing the moral capital of my race put to these ends."
Mr. Steele is a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.

re: #524 3 wood
Good points. Flushing the toxic assets down the toilet is the solution that turns around the economy. Paulson was going to do that by buying some of them. I was skeptical that there was enough money to do that without bankrupting everyone else, but at least he had the right idea.
At this point, I'd go with a a trading mechanism for the bad paper that enables valuing it. That probably will cause some banks to fail, but on the other hand, it forces them to flush their crap quickly. Right now, they're hoping that if they just wait long enough, those assets will recover. Good luck with that!
We don't have time to wait this one out. Force the revaluation of the crap now. Take the hit. It'll be painful. Let's turn this around.

As I mentioned yesterday morning, I went into DC for the inauguration with my ex and his partner, who were down from NYC for the occasion. Getting in to DC wasn't too bad, although we were nowhere near the "action" -- we decided to start at the Lincoln Memorial to get some crowd shots from the steps, and made our way Capitol-ward from there. But we only made it to about halfway between the WW2 Memorial and the Big Masonic Penis before we realized we were completely hemmed in by the crowd and that Obama was about to take the oath.
Getting away from the Mall took forever; we got caught up in a slow-moving river up people headed up 18th St., and the east/west side streets were closed off for several blocks north.
Anyway, one telling moment from my Obamabot ex and his husband is that they immediately reacted to the Warren invocation for being "too sectarian," presumably because of the references to Jesus at the end. I had to laugh a bit at the sectarian charge because I knew that many Christians would be annoyed by Warren's use of "Issa" as a multi-culti alternative name for "Jesus" (in a WTF? moment, Warren also said "Yeshua" -- is anyone besides Jews 4 Jesus actually gonna be impressed by that?).
Overall, not too much moonbattery on display apart from the background-radiation levels you'd expect at any Democratic inaugural. As has been reported elsewhere, I did hear a little anti-Bush jeering and "nah-nah-nah-nah, hey-hey, goodbye" when the helicopter thought to be carrying Bush passed overhead.

You, especially, might be interested to know that Tom Brokaw likened wheelchair-bound VP Cheney to your fellow character, Dr. Strangelove. This was only part of the barking mad hyperbole that characterized MSM coverage of the inauguration.
Brokaw also equated the change of power to the Velvet Revolution, the term used for the overthrow of Czechoslovakia's communist regime in 1989. His colleague, Chris "Tingle Leg" Matthews, took the opposite tack; declaring that the Bush family were like the Romanovs, the Russian rulers overthrown and subsequently murdered by communists.
(If things don't go right, that one, at least, could contain some small grain of truth.)

From Melanie Phillips:
"Saul Alinsky, the immensely influential far-left ideologue who invented the role of grass-roots ‘community organiser’ that Obama filled for so many years, laid out in his book Rules for Radicals that the revolution could only be brought about by stealth politics.
This is what he wrote: ‘This is the job for today’s radical - to fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame to fight. To say, ‘You cannot turn away - look at it - let us change it together!’ ‘Look at us. We are your children. Let us not abandon each other for then we are all lost. Together we can change it for what we want...it is a job first of bringing hope and doing what every organiser must do with all people, all classes, places and times - communicate the means or tactics whereby the people can feel that they have the power to do this and that and on

re: #580 Throbert McGee
As I mentioned yesterday morning, I went into DC for the inauguration with my ex and his partner, who were down from NYC for the occasion. Getting in to DC wasn't too bad, although we were nowhere near the "action" -- we decided to start at the Lincoln Memorial to get some crowd shots from the steps, and made our way Capitol-ward from there. But we only made it to about halfway between the WW2 Memorial and the Big Masonic Penis before we realized we were completely hemmed in by the crowd and that Obama was about to take the oath.
Getting away from the Mall took forever; we got caught up in a slow-moving river up people headed up 18th St., and the east/west side streets were closed off for several blocks north.
Anyway, one telling moment from my Obamabot ex and his husband is that they immediately reacted to the Warren invocation for being "too sectarian," presumably because of the references to Jesus at the end. I had to laugh a bit at the sectarian charge because I knew that many Christians would be annoyed by Warren's use of "Issa" as a multi-culti alternative name for "Jesus" (in a WTF? moment, Warren also said "Yeshua" -- is anyone besides Jews 4 Jesus actually gonna be impressed by that?).
Overall, not too much moonbattery on display apart from the background-radiation levels you'd expect at any Democratic inaugural. As has been reported elsewhere, I did hear a little anti-Bush jeering and "nah-nah-nah-nah, hey-hey, goodbye" when the helicopter thought to be carrying Bush passed overhead.

re: #552 quickjustice
Good points. Flushing the toxic assets down the toilet is the solution that turns around the economy. Paulson was going to do that by buying some of them. I was skeptical that there was enough money to do that without bankrupting everyone else, but at least he had the right idea.
At this point, I'd go with a a trading mechanism for the bad paper that enables valuing it. That probably will cause some banks to fail, but on the other hand, it forces them to flush their crap quickly. Right now, they're hoping that if they just wait long enough, those assets will recover. Good luck with that!
We don't have time to wait this one out. Force the revaluation of the crap now. Take the hit. It'll be painful. Let's turn this around.
For what it's worth, here's 3 wood's 10 point recovery plan.
1. Cut capital gains taxes to zero for at least the next 2 years.
2. Cut income taxes by 25% for the same period.
4. Change the valuation of the mortgages backing these securities from the current modified mark to market to net present value. This is property we are talking about, not some stock certificate.
5. Set up a resolution trust #2 system and buy up the toxic assets to get them off the banks books. Part of that deal is the banks have to start lending again to qualified applicants, now.
6. Set up a trading desk in these mortgage backed securities so we have a clear and open bidding process for trading these things in the market.
7. Re-institute the "uptick" rule for short selling.
8. Enforce the prohibition against "naked" short selling.
9. Begin investigations and prosecutions of people who committed fraud in all this.
10. Repeal the Community Reinvestment Act.

There's an old joke in the black community referencing white racism:
"If you're black, get back.
If you're brown, stick around.
If you're white, you're alright."
That Obama invited Lowery to give the "benediction", to repeat this old chestnut as a "prayer", and to embellish it in a public, official way insulting to whites, means that guilty whites have NOT been forgiven for their racism, Obama's election notwithstanding. We can expect to hear more race-baiting, and race-based mockery, from the "minority" community. Obama has approved it.
As the Black Panthers chanted at a polling place at 1212 Fairmont Avenue in Philadelphia on election day (I was there), "The black man will rule the white man! The black man will rule the white man!"

Then they can implement all those in-school programs for teen mothers. When conservatives complain they say - fine then we'll encourage them to abort - the liberals win either way.
if they want fed financing for their baby then send them to a camp somewhere for a few years to raise the baby and work picking lettuce or whatever

Islam film Dutch MP to be charged
A Dutch court has ordered prosecutors to put a right-wing politician on trial for making anti-Islamic statements.....
[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]
From your link
"In a democratic system, hate speech is considered so serious that it is in the general interest to... draw a clear line," the court in Amsterdam said.
To the Dutch court:
Ok, so if Wilders were to stand on a street in Amsterdam with an islamic holy war manual, and tear pages out at random to hand to receptive passersby, that would be cool right? He could do that, right? Anyone could do that, right?
If you believe so, may I suggest you try it yourself.

re: #659 quickjustice
There's an old joke in the black community referencing white racism:
"If you're black, get back.
If you're brown, stick around.
If you're white, you're alright."That Obama invited Lowery to give the "benediction", to repeat this old chestnut as a "prayer", and to embellish it in a public, official way insulting to whites, means that guilty whites have NOT been forgiven for their racism, Obama's election notwithstanding. We can expect to hear more race-baiting, and race-based mockery, from the "minority" community. Obama has approved it.
As the Black Panthers chanted at a polling place at 1212 Fairmont Avenue in Philadelphia on election day (I was there), "The black man will rule the white man! The black man will rule the white man!"
I fear that Obama's race-based rule is our future.
Yeah, I saw that as a signal that the race card will not get played constantly.

You have mentioned as Arabs as the Enemy of Jews, Actually Jews are ENEMY to ARABS. I want to ask you who was Hitler, is he an Arab or Christian.
In all your stories you reflect that you people think that any wrong thing can be corrected by giving away money rather than asking help from GOD Almighty, there you stand weak.
Jews were wrong doers, does all things in hast. Even before Prophet Moses can get Ten Commandments from GOD ALMIGHTY, Bani Isreali (who were released from the clutches of Egyptians) were so hast to create GOLDEN CALF, I think you know what they did which GOD ALMIGHTY forbids.
Why would an Arab check you reading the Ten Commandments, I don’t understand.
Last word, when Prophet Jesus Comes he will unite the entire World under one umbrella (UMMATHUAL ISLAM, follower of Islam).
He will lead the prayer in HOLY KABBAH.
So at that time what will be your situation?
GOD OF ADAM, GOD OF NOAH, GOD OF ABRAHAM, GOD OF ISHMAEL, GOD OF ISAAC, GOD OF MOSES, GOD OF JESUS, GOD OF MUHAMAD, THERE IS NO OTHER GOD EXCEPT ALLAH.

wherethere was once SHAME to control this behavior, that no longer eexists, in fact people or institutions (Churches) who suggest SHAME, are mocked and rejected
and when younger girls see minimally older girls with babies getting attention and money
they mimic that behavior
of course the children they raise are another problem
Did you see that report that Abstinence Pledges don't work? Turns out that they do. A WSJ article explained that the experimenters worked with two groups for comparison: Devoutly religious teens that took the pledge, and devoutly religious teens who didn't and there was no difference. But there was a huge difference between non- religious teens and religious teens.
So the author says the accurate conclusion is: pledge or no pledge, devout teens are far more abstinent than non-religious teens.

This might turn out to be a fun 4 years. The Baby got his bottle and the dog caught the car. Now what? Who are you going to blame? Oopsie! You got what you wanted. Now you are going to get it good and hard and when you start to fail recommend we all just sit back and let it happen. Don't interfere at all. Give them what they want and then people will see with clarity that it just won't work. The more we worked to delay and prevent their philosophy from coming to fruition the more it was like the proverbial "Boiling a Frog" scenario. Each program they started pretty much failed and the main reason it kept going on and on is because they always had us to blame for their failures. We somehow managed to keep their fantasy world from forming.
Well, mabe not this time. Maybe we let the whole bunch of them run hog wild and implement everything they've been screaming for for the last 30 years. Then....when the pain hits right away people will hop out and look back and say "What the hell? That wasn't supposed to happen?" But...yes...yes it was supposed to happen and we told you it would and it did. Kinda like my dumb 17 year old know it all self before going out into the real world. It was so amazing that my Father got so smart later in life after he didn't know anything when I was a teenager. It will be kinda like that. We'll have to suffer while this is going on but the payoff will be worth it. Literally millions of young idiots will get a big dose of reallity, at least on a basic level.

They are going to bash Bush up through 2010 to ensure that the democrats don't lose seats. Then they will continue to bash Bush to ensure that the messiah gets elected in 2012. Following that, they will continue to bash and blame Bush for everything that goes wrong. These people are so obsessed with hatred, they know nothing else.

Here's at least one writer seeing reality:
Financials Plunge as U.S. Considers New Rescue Options
Shares of the biggest names in American banking plunged Tuesday as some investors feared that the government would need to nationalize the most deeply wounded financial institutions, wiping out stockholders.
The hours-old administration of President Barack Obama is expected to move swiftly to try to stabilize the financial system by pumping more capital into weakened banks and buying bad assets. Nationalization appears to be a last resort, but other options on the table move the U.S. in that direction. In one idea under consideration, the government could buy convertible securities from financial institutions, an approach that could ultimately leave the government owning large chunks of many firms' common shares.
Don't be surprised of Obama does an FDR' like bank holiday to try to reset things.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and by common standards of the beauty industry she is not beautiful. As for a funcitonal family, I'm assuming that you aren't including their ethics.
You know if my husband came to me with some cockamamie idea to team up with a crook like Rezko and do some shady real estate deal involving our family home - I'd let loose on him so bad he'd never know what hit him. Mr DT is smart enough, ethical enough to know to never come to me with some scheme.
Or how about this one: "Hon, I;m having my terrorist friend over for dinner so whip up something special will you." I'd have to hit him with a frying pan.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- United Technologies Corp. said fourth-quarter net income rose 8% to $1.15 billion, or $1.23 a share, from $1.06 billion, or $1.08 a share in the year-ago period.

IBM Corp. on Tuesday reported a fiscal fourth-quarter profit that rose 12% from the year-ago period, boosted by strong software sales and signings of new services contracts, and said it expects earnings for 2009 to exceed Wall Street analysts' estimates.

Deutsche Bank upgrades Ford, Lear, American Axle
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Deutsche Bank lifted its ratings on a couple of auto stocks on Wednesday. It upgraded Ford Motor Co. to hold from sell, saying that while it remains concerned about the magnitude of the auto maker's recent and prospective cash burn, it continues to believe the company has sufficient liquidity to withstand its worst-case scenario. Deutsche Bank also raised its rating on Lear Corp. , to hold from sell, saying it believes the company may not have to file for bankruptcy protection.

You haters are wrong. Michelle is a good looking lady. But like her husband, it will be harder to acknowledge her real talents since the MSM will hyper-inflate them to the point where you feel the need to balance.
All the people calling her ugly, how do you look? How about your spouse?
BTW, she is the first lady, and think how wonderful it is for kids in the city whose rage has been facilitated by white liberals for decades, to now see such a functional, dignified family in the White House.
Later, haters, haha
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and by common standards of the beauty industry she is not beautiful. As for a functional family, I'm assuming that you aren't including their ethics.You know if my husband came to me with some cockamamie idea to team up with a crook like Rezko and do some shady real estate deal involving our family home - I'd let loose on him so bad he'd never know what hit him. Mr DT is smart enough, ethical enough to know to never come to me with some scheme.
Or how about this one: "Hon, I;m having my terrorist friend over for dinner so whip up something special will you." I'd have to hit him with a frying pan.
Functional family my foot. I guess maybe compared to the violent Clintons they might look that way on the outside. I just see differently.
I for one, don't care how she looks. But I do care that she has presumed to preach to me, to suggest that since her husband is now POTUS I will have to change my life to fit his/her view of the world. How elitist, how superior, how condescending.

If that happens, there will be some that will turn on him. Not the Olberman's and Matthews mind you, they are beyond hopeless.

In one of his first acts in office President Obama has ordered the U.S. government to suspend prosecutions of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay for 120 days, military officials said Tuesday.
Papers filed at the U.S. prison camp said the request is made “in the interest of justice and at the direction of the president of the United States.” It seeks a delay in proceedings until May 20.
“The judges will receive the requests and review them, and we anticipate a ruling soon,” said Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a Defense Department spokesman.
Tuesday’s directive was issued verbally through Defense Secretary Bob Gates, according to a military official.
Obama had vowed to close the naval prison at the U.S. base. While Obama’s order does not go that far, it will stop the prosecutions of 21 detainees currently facing war crimes charges.

He has removed himself from the equation, thus never having to be responsible for any failure should it (no doubt) occur. He has given all responsiblity, all failure to us while he can tke any credit should it be due.

Always to the Good
I have long believed the American Phenomenon is still young; our nation has only just begun. Our population continues to grow, despite our current economic situation, we are still the wealthiest most prosperous nation ever and nothing over the rest of my lifetime, barring a nuclear war, will change that.
What makes this nation what it is was on display yesterday- for the 44th time, we changed peacefully leaders. Even for us it only happens every four years but, believe me, the people of most nations would fall on their knees to know that their leaders came to power this way; in places like Libya, Syria and Egypt, the leader never changes; in Iran your choice is limited to to picking which religious fanatic appears to lead your country. Obama's election is a symbol of our Liberty.
In a world that likes to hate America for being white, and this bigotry underpins a lot of the hatred for America, we have shown ourselves to truly be the first colorblind society in the world. And this is no less true in our own country. The message of an Obama Presidency crushes a big balloon of buffalo chips- all the urban legends of "the plan" for white takeover of the inner cities and and the disbelief that America could or would ever change, much less elect a black President died yesterday. It is a straight line from Martin Luther King's death to Obama's election. No nation has ever contemplated the social change America has done; yet here we are; it cannot be disputed that we are better off for it.
In America, anyone really can be President. Obama may not have led the most admirable life in his younger days but no one can argue what the road to his success was- education, education and education. Obama will inspire a generation of African Americans to turn away from the failed ghetto culture of ebonics and rap; quite simply put, he can be the hammer that breaks the last shackle holding back African American progress.
We have serious challenges ahead of us as a nation and Mr. Obama has his hands on the tiller.
Mr. Obama has significantly changed from what he used to say about foreign affairs on the campaign trail. His first national security briefings had to have shaken him to his core. He did not single out Hinduism in his inaugural address, he spoke to the entire Islamic world with a very deliberate message: America is not Islam's enemy and the Islamic world would do well to unclench its fist. He intends to let Iraq finish stabilizing and he intends to let Petraeus (you remember Gen. "Betray Us," Moveon.org?) win in Afghanistan too. Oddly enough, its exactly what McCain would have done.
Obama must face Iran and the Iranian bomb. He will face a rising China, the Putinistas, the North Koreans and the Chavistas. He is in for a very rude welcome from some these unpleasant folk. Hezbollah will take over Lebanon completely in the upcoming elections three months from now in the Levant.
Obama's best weapon is his own personality. He may be more popular in Iran and Venezuela that Ahmadinejad and Chavez. The collapse in oil prices deeply threatens our enemies and they may be tempted to act in concert against us.
Finally there is the economy. Half of a good turnaround is optimism. The better people feel about their future prospects, the better the economy does. I think the megablast on the Mall yesterday infused the the whole country with a good jolt of hope. If the media overdid it, so what? The key is faith in ourselves and our ability to come together to make common cause against our challenges.
I have long believed that democracy is a self correcting wisdom, it is bringing in fresh minds and leaders that is the greatest power of our form of government. Each transition makes us better and clears out the cobwebs of previous administrations and opens doors to new possibilities. To that end, every transition is part and parcel of the blessings of our Liberty. Democracy is always right, each change is always to the good.
I sincerely mean this: Good luck, Barack.

All of this while failing to point out that government is the problem and all that voted for him are followers, not leaders, and have no responsibility for themselves...rather they seek government to tell them what to do.
It is a shell game where we are responsible for things we cannot control because we are not smart enough according to them. And the condescension is going to be obvious and persistent....no longer any need to pretend we count at all.
Exactly..Geroge Will has a column about that today saying the essentially we were told that we are the problem and we have to help government fix us.

I watched Obama's inaugural address again and this section caught my attention:
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.
We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.

What I find most condescending of all is that the great 0 has given the responsibility of change to all of us, making us responsible for the success or failure of working together regardless of ideology; of the success or failure of the financial system by giving more $ to the government so others can have a greater return; of the success or failure of making the US more fair and tolerable. He has removed himself from the equation, thus never having to be responsible for any failure should it (no doubt) occur. He has given all responsiblity, all failure to us while he can tke any credit should it be due.

That's the basic problem with the whole Obama platform. The visible part can mean anything to anyone, just platitudes... as such, we don't really know what he intends... or how he will "remake" America.

Good morning!
A few tips on caring for your unicorn. Please be a responsible unicorn owner and should you find yourself unable/unwilling to care for your new unicorn Mr. Bunny and I have applied for a unicorn - rescue bailout loan to fund our new unicorn rescue center. We applied for 7.6 trillion due to the unusually long life span of unicorns. (Not to mention the insurance premium is outrageous, apparently the risk of being impaled is very high.) We are also in the design stage of recycling unicorn waste and converting it to low-emission fuel. So far, we have a product that smells like Fruit-Loops but won't power a damn thing. I hope this will change !

Clarence Dias was nabbed Tuesday with the child porn in his carry-on while going through security on his way to Bangkok.
Prosecutors say Dias told authorities the material was for research. Dias is president of the International Center for Law in Development.
More on him here:
"He admitted it was his - but tried to play it off. He said he was doing research on how to better make sure kids' rights were not abused," a police source said. "Yeah, sure. It's always research."

re: #860 Kenneth
Hi yah Hoops - no, not hopey changey. I was until I read Obama's speech and stumbled over his quote from Corinthians about it's time to put away childish things and grow up.
I ranted about it last night - that America's childish things have freed hundreds of millions of people from the yoke of Soviet Communism, gave roughly 50 million people in the ME a shot at democracy and that his comment was a slap in the face to the million plus Americans who served in Uniform since the beginning of our nation. I cannot respect Obama because he neither respects nor for that matter, even likes America.
I am, however, willing to overlook what he says and judge him by what he does: if does what is right to protect America and Americans, if he does what is necessary in a semi-free market economy to get the economy back on its feet, if he supports FREEDOM around the world, then I will wholeheartedly support him.
If he doesn't, he WILL hear critcism from me.
Oh and btw, y'all, avanti got so pissed off at me (and some others last night on the prior thread) that he said he's taking a "sabbatical" from LGF, so if you don't see him around don't fret; he's on a self imposed exile from LGF.

Not for nothing, but the UN has been steeped in sex crimes for years. UN peacekeepers regularly engage in sexual violence against the people they're supposed to protect. It goes all the way to the highest levels in the UN, which looked the other way as their peacekeepers engaged in this heinous crimes for years.
Look at it another way. If it was US officials who had kiddie porn, and it was US soldiers who engaged in sexual assaults on refugees in their charge, what would the media do? They would demand war crimes trials and public hangings for those soldiers.
Since it's the UN, not so much.

I'm sure a real blogger will do it better than me, but I'm dying to see how fast the media changes gears regarding the economy, the War, even global warming. Obviously, today's paper was filled with fawning coverage of the Inauguration , so it doesn't count.
Anyone remember seeing a study that came out after Clinton's first year in Office? Something like 1,000 articles on homelessness had appeared in major papers during the last year of GHW Bush's term, and something like twenty appeared during the first year of Clinton. I expect that by the end of this year, there'll be an even more dramatic shift on key issues.

Always to the good
Well said. President Obama has the potential to do some very good things for this country regarding race relations and international relations. Now is the time to be optimistic.
This sword cuts both ways that I know. Yet at this time, perhaps naively, I will tell my democrat friends that I wish Obama well and reiterate some of A.G.'s points with the "hope" that when our time comes, and it will, that they will show the same respect.
If not, at least I will have clear conscious when that future day comes and I tell them to their face that they are an ass.

Apparently when Obama woke upo this morning he opened the curtains to admire the view from his new home. But there in the snow, written in yellow, was the rude message: "Obama is a dork!"
The Secret Service was called & they immediately went to work, taking samples and comparing them to medical records, etc. Soon they had the mystery solved and reported to Obama,
"Mr. President, we have some good news and some bad news...""Umm.. do you know who left that message?"
"Yes sir, we found a positive match for the urine sample, as you suspected, it was John McCain."
"Ah-ha! I knew it! Umm... but what's the bad news?"

In an Executive Order spanning the entire Guantanamo Bay issue, President Barack Obama has closed the prison, ordered the fencing and guard towers removed, and sent 486 FEMA trailers to the Cuban location.
Feb. 13, 2009
In a surprise attack yesterday, Cuban citizens stormed the former Guantanamo Bay detention facility, snatching up toilets, jumpsuits, and FEMA trailers. Stated one man, who wished to reain anonymous, "I have been looking through this fence at all this wealth and luxury for years. Look at this! They even have toilet paper with writing on it so you can relax in the bano. These Jihadists are decadent capitalist scum, and they should be reeducated by the People's Worker's Party's Reform Schools."
Feb. 14, 2009
In a massive rescue effort not seen in decades, the US Coast Guard spent all last night picking former Guantanamo Bay detainees out of the seas surrounding Cuba. Many pleaded with Coast Guard personnel to take them "anywhere but back to all those angry Communists."

Okay, I was on the train this AM, and happened to spot a discarded NYT open to a page showing a full page MPAC ad, calling on Obama to put the screws to Israel.
Does anyone know where to find a text version of that ad. Glancing at it quickly, it's fit for a full length fisking, but the part that struck me as most duplicitious is that they cited CNN as claiming that Israel broke the 6-month ceasefire when it killed a bunch of Hamas terrorists in November. They left out the part about the hundreds of rockets fired at Israel before that point or that the terrorists that Israel killed were firing on Israeli communities in Israel.
The whole agitprop is one stinking pile of lies and innuendo, but it needs to be exposed.

I remain skeptical. What was missing from the Inaugural Speech? "Freedom", liberty", "rebirth", opposition to "tyranny"-- those exceptional concepts used by the Founding Fathers. What have they been replaced with? "Hard work", "peace", "dignity", "responsibility", "remaking America", "confidence", and similar virtues espoused by socialists everywhere. These are generic virtues. They're not exceptional, and they're not exceptionally American.
Obama has proclaimed America to be virtuous, but these are the virtues of the Workers' State. That's his "vision" for America. Get ready for hard work, comrades!

Occam's Razor would suggest the exact opposite - that Obama is a radical leftist posing as a moderate. He knows that the best way to coopt the process is to appear moderate, couch his policies in the terms of moderation, and demonize those who oppose his policy prescriptions.
Note that he and his cronies will use that to great effect in the Bailout v. 2.0 debate... that if you don't do what he says, it will be destructive to the government.... etc.

I'll differ with you on this. Publicly he may say not too much, but by now he's been exposed to the "book" on Iran and other dangers. He has to know. I think the real question is if or how he will differ from Bush on the whole ME puzzle. It's got to be difficult. He's promised to "go green," which means (and he's said) we will stop using so much mid/east oil. Does that mean he'll not be a strong ally to the struggling democratic movements in that part of the world? Or?

Jorline, have you thought about getting a sign reading:
"Moonbats use side door"?There's a cottage industry waiting to be exploited.
"Moonbats: We don't serve your kind."
"Moonbats: please enter through basement window, with flashlight."
Won't work and I'll tell you why by telling a story. While in college, one of the gals in my dorm never washed her bathing towel. It reeked and the other dormys complained to me. I had to tell her the reality. I was the RA. When I told her the situation, she replied, "Oh, I didn't know."

Not for nothing, but the UN has been steeped in sex crimes for years. UN peacekeepers regularly engage in sexual violence against the people they're supposed to protect. It goes all the way to the highest levels in the UN, which looked the other way as their peacekeepers engaged in this heinous crimes for years.
Look at it another way. If it was US officials who had kiddie porn, and it was US soldiers who engaged in sexual assaults on refugees in their charge, what would the media do? They would demand war crimes trials and public hangings for those soldiers.
Since it's the UN, not so much.

re: #1135 Iron Fist
I have to step in here. Something needs to be said. Obama is not some poor kid who went to public school, worked his way through college, got a job afterwards, and made his way up through the ranks. His grandmother (who raised him) was a fuckin' Bank Vice-President. In Hawaii. She was banking serious money. Enough so that Barack Obama could attend the finest private schools. He went on to get a degree from Columbia, and then to Harvard. Was he accepted in these schools as an Affirmative Action measure? I don't know, but there is little evidence of it that I've seen (as opposed to his wife who was an Affirmative Action benificiary).
The Senate by way of Columbia and Harvard is a good stepping-stone to higher office. Obama was fortunate in his education, and cautiously selective about who his "friends" were afterwards. It was in that context that his relationship with Bill Ayers began. Perhaps Ayers saw in Obama a kindred spirit, or perhaps he simply grasped the benefits of having a good-looking, well-spoken "African-American" in politics that he could influence. Either way, Ayers brought him along in Politics. And Obama was content to be brought. If he was ever troubled by Bill Ayers past as a radical anti-American terrorist, he gave no hints about it, well, ever.
I'll end this where I began it. Obama isn't some street kid made good. He is, and has been, a child of wealth and privilege who was able to follow that path to the highest office in the land. It is still an accomplishment, to be sure, but it is not a sign that "anybody" could become President. It is simply more evidence (as if any more evidence was needed) that the right schools and right mentors mean more in Presidential politics than real leadership, courage (on or off the battlefield), or wisdom that comes with experience.
I couldn't agree with you more Fist. When the descendant of a Mississippi cotton field slave rises to the office of POTUS, then America can be proud. Obama has never lived the life of the common man, black or white, and certainly not the life of a poor African-American.

Well, don't that beat all. China censored the Obama inauguration speech because it hit on sensitive topics.
At one point, Obama said earlier generations "faced down communism and fascism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions." He later addressed "those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent — know that you are on the wrong side of history."
Story continues below ↓advertisement %P% your ad hereMissing word 'communism'
The Chinese translation of the speech, credited to the Web site of the official China Daily newspaper, was missing the word "communism" in the first sentence. The paragraph with the sentence on dissent had been removed entirely.The censored version was carried by the state-run Xinhua News Agency and posted on popular online portals Sina and Sohu. Another portal, Netease, used a version without the paragraph mentioning communism, but retaining the part about dissent.
Well, that's not much different than the US media which chopped up the address to suit their own needs as well.

Inmates Running the Asylum?
Can you imagine working for this organization? It has less than 1000 employees with the following statistics:
*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have bankrupted at least two businesses
*3 have been arrested for assault
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
*14 have been arrested on drug related charges
*8 have been arrested for shoplifting
*21 are current defendants in lawsuits
*In 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving
Can you guess which organization this is? Give up?
It's the 535 members of The United States Congress; the same group that cranks the laws designed to keep the rest of us in line. Are the inmates running the asylum?

Nice. It's not just Palestinian logic it's Muslim logic ie: the 19 highjackers of 9/11 were glorious martyrs-except the Jews did it because real Muslims don't do terror. And like Iran, where the Holocaust never happened except that it was such a good thing, just not good enough so let's do another one of those things that never happened to Israel.

You know-that's really an important issue-in each of our respective countries-are the Jew haters fringe or mainstream?
I would think they are still fringe, cheered on however by the increasing numbers of 'moderate' muslims.
There are certainly quite a number in various state offices, as for example in our Foreign Office (long tradition of 'loving ayrabs', see ...) - but they are still not determining the tone of discourse.
Funnily enough, while the moonbat left - and probably some of the Neostalinist NuLab crowd - are full-on antisemitic, Old Labour has a proud radition of supporting Israel, against the toffs (then, in the 1950s sand 60s) in the Foreign Office.
Its for us to point the finger and not turn a blind eye, whenever this occurs, be it in protest marches as we've seen, or in more insiduous forms, like declarations coming from our oh-so-esteemed Gord.

I spoke to her on the phone. The answers that I had given her was "This accident has brought out the differences between the way you handle things and the way I would handle something. And it's not just since the accident, but this whole incident has open my eyes to a whole lot of questionable ways in which you handle things. And I will gladly meet with you face to face after you are out of the hospital and I will go into detail."
Later that night, she sent me an email "To break up with me while I am lying in a hospital bed broken up myself is just plain mean spirited. I also think I deserved more than your answers that you were giving me. Your excuses seemed flimsy and transparent to me."

Glancing at it quickly, it's fit for a full length fisking, but the part that struck me as most duplicitious is that they cited CNN as claiming that Israel broke the 6-month ceasefire when it killed a bunch of Hamas terrorists in November. They left out the part about the hundreds of rockets fired at Israel before that point or that the terrorists that Israel killed were firing on Israeli communities in Israel.
I've seen the "Israel broke the cease-fire" meme before. Electronic Intifada has used it on the local moonbat radio station.

re: #1135 Iron Fist
I have to step in here. Something needs to be said. Obama is not some poor kid who went to public school, worked his way through college, got a job afterwards, and made his way up through the ranks. His grandmother (who raised him) was a fuckin' Bank Vice-President. In Hawaii. She was banking serious money. Enough so that Barack Obama could attend the finest private schools. He went on to get a degree from Columbia, and then to Harvard. Was he accepted in these schools as an Affirmative Action measure? I don't know, but there is little evidence of it that I've seen (as opposed to his wife who was an Affirmative Action benificiary).
The Senate by way of Columbia and Harvard is a good stepping-stone to higher office. Obama was fortunate in his education, and cautiously selective about who his "friends" were afterwards. It was in that context that his relationship with Bill Ayers began. Perhaps Ayers saw in Obama a kindred spirit, or perhaps he simply grasped the benefits of having a good-looking, well-spoken "African-American" in politics that he could influence. Either way, Ayers brought him along in Politics. And Obama was content to be brought. If he was ever troubled by Bill Ayers past as a radical anti-American terrorist, he gave no hints about it, well, ever.
I'll end this where I began it. Obama isn't some street kid made good. He is, and has been, a child of wealth and privilege who was able to follow that path to the highest office in the land. It is still an accomplishment, to be sure, but it is not a sign that "anybody" could become President. It is simply more evidence (as if any more evidence was needed) that the right schools and right mentors mean more in Presidential politics than real leadership, courage (on or off the battlefield), or wisdom that comes with experience.
re: #1170 HDrepub
I couldn't agree with you more Fist. When the descendant of a Mississippi cotton field slave rises to the office of POTUS, then America can be proud. Obama has never lived the life of the common man, black or white, and certainly not the life of a poor African-American.

Never mind the election, respect of constitutional mandates and limits, tradition of stable democracy, etc. It's really a creepy mass delusion we're witnessing here.

Excellent points.
A few more.
Unlike the classless Clinton Administration officials who hamstrung the incoming Bush Administration with petty nonsense like taking the W keys, stealing items from the WH and other more substantive items like not helping the Bush Administration get settled in with national security matters, GWB and his staff was holding briefings from election day forward and did everything imaginable to assist Obama make a smooth transition.
Bush even did heavy lifting for Obama, including asking for the second half of TARP, opening the door on a second supply line into Afghanistan via Russia and Central Asian states, and Bush has given Obama the tools to continue providing security for the nation that has kept it safe since 9/11. Obama isn't likely to undo most of those tools, precisely because they are now his - the Left wont demand their end either, since they now control those same tools (Patriot Act).
Bush handled his term in office with class; the opposite of his opponents, who attacked him at every turn. That says more about the left than it does Bush.

Bush handled his term in office with class; the opposite of his opponents, who attacked him at every turn. That says more about the left than it does Bush.
I had an interesting conversation with a lefty last evening. He was one of the ones screaming at the Bush inauguration motorcade in 2001 (although he said he, personally, did not throw eggs). When I mentioned my observation of zero evidence of any anti-Obama protest or general rudeness of any kind, he glowed with approval. He saw no contradiction. See, Obama is, you know, completely right and good, so... there should be no protest.
Leftists feel themselves perfectly justified when they act in ways that disrupt public order and the public good in order to attack their perceived opponents. Left and right can mirror-image on a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. They feel very little sense of propriety.

Try this one then...:)
A bit of interesting history.
Subject: Plucking the Yew! Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible for the English soldiers to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore incapable of fighting in the future. The famous bow was made of the English Yew tree and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" or "pluck you". Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won the battle and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French and saying "We can still pluck yew. Pluck you". Since "pluck yew" is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F' and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger salute. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird". And yew thought that yew knew everything.

Everything is politics to a Leftist; there are no non-political events.

Many don't work, and don't believe in the concept of work, so they have all day. They're much more visible to the media because of this, and get all the coverage while you and I are slaving away all day making an honest living; which is what Conservatives are more interested in.

Someone a few days ago here at lgf commented there was some congresscritter already proposing such. As then for the other commenter I will now remind you it would require a Constitutional amendment to end Presidential term limits, and even if it meets the stringent guidelines needed for passage most likely would pass only after O is a former president if there were not a future clause already a part of it.

I wish it was not the case, but it is.
That may be a mistake, IMO.
The Dem's have been talking up a great depression since the TARP funding thing happened. It was smart politics on their side. The MSM has helped fuel the flames, too.
As you know, all of the interest cuts and the TARP funding take time to work their way through the economy - 6 months to a year. In addition, we will be getting another trillion dollars of govt. spending to add more fuel on the fire.
The American Economy is resilient and Americans are - by nature - optimists. In a few months, the effects of lower interest rates work their way through the system, the economy will start showing signs of life. The economy will come back. Barak will start talking up the economy and the MSM will sing the praises of our savior. This will add more steam.
I'm not saying it's going to the the 1980s or 90s or even 2005, but it'll be better than a great depression - and the market, right now, is priced for calamity.

Up to a hundred Palestinians in Gaza who have defied house arrest orders have been tortured in children’s hospitals and schools converted into interrogation centers. People have been shot in the legs or had their hands broken. The campaign has been described as a “new massacre”. One victim had his eyes put out. No one was safe from the torturers, not even those attending funerals. When is will the UN act to put a stop to this horror? Won’t President Obama intervene to stop these barbaric acts? Aren’t international human rights monitors going to put a stop to this? When will War Crimes charges be preferred against the perpetrators?
Never.
Why? Because Hama is in charge of the torture and their victims are simply Fatah members. If it were Israel who had done these things, well then … But since it’s Hamas, the same Hamas for whom thousands have been marching in ’solidarity’, it’s a non-story.

re: #1303 Dustyvet
Try this one then...:)
A bit of interesting history.
Subject: Plucking the Yew! Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible for the English soldiers to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore incapable of fighting in the future. The famous bow was made of the English Yew tree and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" or "pluck you". Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won the battle and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French and saying "We can still pluck yew. Pluck you". Since "pluck yew" is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F' and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger salute. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird". And yew thought that yew knew everything.
And then there's the Dutch verb "fokke".

Easy.
When the Republicans are in the majority, it means that the Republicans must still appoint some Dems to committee chairs, share power, and only vote in laws that are compromises between the two viewpoints.
When the Dems are in the majority, it means that the Republicans must go along with all the Dem ideas and not filibuster or otherwise impede the 100% Dem agenda.

That's a right-wing thing. Some people still can't figure out that "having been [whatever]" does not make one an expert and does not automatically mean the person is right.
As an example, I still don't think Jimmuh Carter is qualified to make any decisions about foreign policy. I would also point to some talking-head generals on talk TV who know better than we do what "strategy" we should follow.

If I had seen the exchange I likely would have not jumped you since being a veteran does not instantly add any veneer of respectability to one's words and/or actions outside the military. For example, I have nothing but praise for McCain's military service, nothing but scorn for his political leanings and accomplishments.
I met too many people during my Navy travels who were just as clueless about things outside their ship, command, and narrow rating specialty. And living in an area now with a HUGE Army and Air Force presence sure has shown me being politically aware is not encouraged.

re: #1400 Fat Bastard Vegetarian
The first post I ever saw from him was, (paraphrasing) "I voted for Obama even though I knew he was only spreading Unicorn shit. Boy I hope everyone didn't believe him. They might be disappointed."
I argued a bit, then got snarky (for which I apologized) ... Other folks jumped me for "attacking a veteran".
So, being the proud coward I am, I ran away.
In a case of life imitating art, I would like to point out, that this is the same tactic Pedro used to defeat Summer Wheatly.
"Vote for me and all of your dreams will come true."

I steeled myself the other night and watched Olberdork. The mad batshit crazy left demands prosecution of the Bush admin for war crimes. It was an eye opener.

That's a right-wing thing. Some people still can't figure out that "having been [whatever]" does not make one an expert and does not automatically mean the person is right.
As an example, I still don't think Jimmuh Carter is qualified to make any decisions about foreign policy. I would also point to some talking-head generals on talk TV who know better than we do what "strategy" we should follow.
Maybe I should just point to John Kerry and John Murtha, and call it good.
I got into it with him a few times-but wound up using the STARE, usually. When the actual car owner/adult is posting, I've tried dialoguing-but kept running into the teen who didn't know crap, in the same thread. I swear it's sometimes him, and othertimes a young son (or grandson) posting. You can see the difference in styles and knowledge-plus, I've encountered this type thing before: another board-another time.....:>(

Geithner lying his ass off.
In today's confirmation hearing, Treasury Secretary nominee Tim Geithner said he used TurboTax to prepare his returns for the years in question where he failed to pay self-employment taxes — even though he collected reimbursement from his employer, the International Monetary Fund.Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, asked, "Did the software prompt you to pay those taxes?"
"Not to my recollection," Geithner answered.
Do any TurboTax users know otherwise from experience?
UPDATE: A reader responds, "I assure you that Turbotax asks very specifically if you got a 1099 or a W2 from your employer. I know it, you know it, the American people know it!"
