The daily jokes on my iGoogle page are usually lame, but I thought this is a good one:
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a "great" writer.
When asked to define "great" he said "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

In this article: [Link: news.yahoo.com...] Timothy Geithner says:
Geithner said the change would merely restore the same deduction limits that were in place when President Ronald Reagan left office.
While technically true this is completely misleading. Obama wants to limit charitable deductions to 28%, while its true that was the maximum deduction when Reagan left office, that's because the maximum tax rate was 28%.

United States rejoins U.N. rights council
The United States returned Wednesday to the U.N. Human Rights Council, a body it left nine months ago saying it was biased against Israel and had failed to confront notorious rights abusers.
The United States informed the council it will resume participating in meetings as an active observer. Observer status means the United States can engage in debate but not vote."We will expect — of ourselves and of the governments in this chamber representing every region of the world — a willingness to overcome our differences and to unite in common purpose," Mark Stroll, charge affairs of the U.S. mission to the United Nations in Geneva, told the council.

Krauthammer skewers Obama's diplomatic screw up with Russia-
[Link: corner.nationalreview.com...]
This is smart diplomacy? This is a debacle. The Russians dismissed it contemptuously.
Look, if we could get the Iranian nuclear program stopped with Russian's helping us in return for selling out the Poles and the Czechs on missile defense, I'm enough of a cynic and a realist to say we would do it the same way that Kissinger agreed to delegitimize and de-recognize Taiwan in return for a large strategic opening with China.
But Kissinger had it done. He had it wired. What happened here is it was leaked. The Russians have dismissed it. We end up being humiliated. We look weak in front of the Iranians, and we have left the Poles and Czechs out to dry in return for nothing.
The Czechs and the Poles went out on a limb, exposed themselves to Russian pressure, and we have shown that Eastern Europe is not as sovereign as it appears if the Russian influence is there, and we will acquiesce in what they consider their own sphere of influence.
This administration has prided itself, flattered itself on deploying smart diplomacy. "Smart diplomacy" is a meaningless idea, but if it has any meaning at all, it is not ever doing something as humiliating, amateurish, and stupid as this.
Idiots. Screwing allies to appease thugs. And the thugs laugh yet the allies now know they are on their own.
Same thing is being done to Israel.

Some one let T-Rex out of his pen
And I think he wants to harm me
Cause he sure don't act like Barney
And he thinks that I'm his dinner
Not his friend....

Wow, I feel like I'm entering the twilight zone of the recession. Yesterday the owner & employees of our business answering service got locked out for non-payment of rent. Trouble is, the owner is in trouble with the IRS who's taking all of her revenue, not just a portion. Today I contacted the water company in the town where we have another piece of property as I noticed water was being used in an empty house. LOL We have squatters. Waiting to hear back from the sheriff's department.

NY Times asshole aready pushing Obama for 2012.
I’m worried. We’ve just elected a talented young president with many good instincts about how to propel our country forward, extend health care to more people, make our tax code fairer and launch a green industrial revolution. But do you know what I fear? I fear that his whole first term could be eaten by Citigroup, A.I.G., Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, and the whole housing/subprime credit bubble we inflated these past 20 years.
[Link: www.nytimes.com...]
Lets cancel the 1012 elections. Even if the banking mess consumes this Presidency - with the implication that nothing else gets done well- just give him the certain second term when he will do better.

Oh... I'll see that one and raise you
(Pearl Jam, ' Where oh where can my baby be)
Around 1964, somebody did a hilariously sick parody of the Teen Death Anthems called "I Want My Baby Back." It ends with the narrator digging up his dead GF's grave, and then crawling into the coffin with her! (And you thought necrophilia references in pop music started with Alice Cooper....)

How about a worst lyrics nomination. Guess the band:
I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me
tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're inYou're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals (animals)
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're inWe were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was
kissing
Screamin'[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it

No, no matter where we go

Barack Money Fountain
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Barack Money Fountain
In the Barack Money Fountain there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Barack Money Fountain
In the Barack Money Fountain all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Barack Money Fountain
In the Barack Money Fountain you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Barack Money Fountain
In the Barack Money Fountain the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Barack Money Fountain
I'll see you all this coming fall in the Barack Money Fountain
My apologies to the original author!

It's Governor Wallace, and it's a reference to segregation. The lines are:
In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo boo boo)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
A lot of people took it as supporting segregation, but the band members say that's not the case, as this charming quote from Wikipedia suggests:
In 1975, Van Zant said: "The lyrics about the governor of Alabama were misunderstood. The general public didn't notice the words 'Boo! Boo! Boo!' after that particular line, and the media picked up only on the reference to the people loving the governor."[3] "The line 'We all did what we could do' is sort of ambiguous," Kooper notes "'We tried to get Wallace out of there' is how I always thought of it."[3] Journalist John Swenson argues that the song is more complex than it is sometimes given credit for, suggesting that it only looks like an endorsement of Wallace.[3] "Wallace and I have very little in common," Van Zant himself said, "I don't like what he says about colored people."[3]
Personally, I always thought the Boos were Woo-hoos and it was a statement of support of Wallace.

How fucked are we? Here's a quote form the world-class climate scientist Tim "tax cheat" Geithner:
We don't believe it makes sense to significantly subsidize the production and use of sources of energy (like oil and gas) that are dramatically going to add to our climate change (problem). We don't think that's good economic policy and we think changing those incentives is good for the country," Geithner told the Senate Finance Committee at a hearing on the White House's proposed budget for the 2010 spending year.
When the god damned idiot treasury secretary says screw the economy, we've got to stop the sky from falling, we are well and truly fucked!
