We rub the darkness from our eyes,
And face our thousand devious secret mornings …
And do not see how the pale mist, slowly ascending,
Shaped by the sun, shines like a white-robed dreamer
Compassionate over our towers bending.

Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is gray and yellow, white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
Funny how Aiken's words brought that old chestnut out of the synaptic tangle...

An old snake goes to see his Doctor.
"Doc, I need something for my eyes...can't see well these days".
The Doc fixes him up with a pair of glasses and tells him to return in 2 weeks.
The snake comes back in 2 weeks and tells the doctor he's very depressed.
Doc says, "What's the problem...didn't the glasses help you?"
"The glasses are fine doc, I just discovered I've been living with a water hose the past 2 years!"

I'm getting really really tired of everyone being incompetent at their jobs. As part of my non-zombie "real" life, I had the following email exchange this week, with a highly paid MSM member:
MSM member: Can I get list #1 and list #2 from you for this thing I'm doing?
Me: Sure. Pasted in to this email is list #1. I'll send list #2 pasted in to the next email.
MSM member: (The next day, "Replying" to and quoting the first part of my email) So, I didn't get either list from you. Where are they?
Me: You must have -- you replied to the email that had list #1 in it. So, you had to have gotten it. And I sent list #2 right afterwards, same way.
MSM member: Well, could you resend them?
Me: Ooooo-kayyyy, if you say so. Here they are again. [Resends both lists.]
MSM member: [Following day, once again replying to the second list #1 email] OK, I got list #2 -- but where is list #1?
Me: You're replying to the email that had list #1 in it. You got it. I sent it.
MSM member: My boss says we need list #1. Could you send it?
Me: Grrrr [silently] OK, here is list #1 for the third time.
MSM member: Y'know, now that I look at list #2, maybe we don't want list #1 after all. Could you make a new list #3 and send it to us?
Me: Wait -- did you get get list #1?
MSM member: List #1?
Me: Yeah, list #1. I've sent it to you three times, at your request.
MSM member: Why lookee here -- list #1! Never noticed it before. It's great! Now that I see this, we don't need list #3 any more. In fact, we don't even need list #2. Why did you even bother sending us list #2?

London aghast at President Obama over gifts given to Prime Minister Brown
You'd think President Obama had booted the Brits out of America — again!
London newspapers are howling over a string of alleged snubs by Obama to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown during his visit to Washington last week — including a squabble over presidential gift-giving.
"President Obama has been rudeness personified towards Britain," sniffed The Daily Telegraph Friday. "His handling of the visit of the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, to Washington was appalling."
The list of complaints is longer than the Magna Carta: Obama canceled a planned, podium-to-podium news conference with Brown (actually, none was ever scheduled); he recently removed a bust of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Oval Office; and he gave gifts to the Brown family that were "about as exciting as a pair of socks," one Fleet Street wag whined.
That last bit might be true. After Brown presented Obama with a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th century British warship HMS President (whose sister ship, HMS Resolute, provided the wood for the Oval Office's desk), Obama offered up ... 25 DVDs of American movie classics.
"Oh, give me strength," wrote one appalled Daily Telegraph staffer. "We do have television and DVD stores on this side of the Atlantic."

I didn't think Hillary would leave the senate for Obama's cabinet for just this reason -- he sees her as a rival.
Back during the election, when she was rumored to be a VP choice, and afterwards, when she was floated as Sec of State, I said she wouldn't leave the senate because Obama would jerk her around -- make her look ridiculous -- in order to eliminate her as a possible 2012 opponent.

Hillary Clinton Rewrites History in Front of Puzzled Europeans
Members of the European Parliament in Brussels were shaking their heads today after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton incorrectly said U.S. democracy is older than Europe's. Clinton compared Europe's multi-party political system to our two-party version: "It is hard enough with two parties to come to any resolution, and I say this very respectfully, because I feel the same way about our own democracy, which has been around a lot longer than European democracy."
Europeans trace their Democratic tradition back thousands of years to the days of classical Greece. Later Secretary Clinton raised eyebrows again when she mispronounced the names of two of her EU counterparts.

gmsc's money tips #18:
Set aside an emergency fund - a fund for those unexpected things that cost a lot to fix, such as medical emergencies, plumbing problems, or major auto repair.
The two standard percentages to set aside of your after tax (or pre-tax, if you can swing it) income that you hear most often are 5% or 10%. If you've worked your way out of debt, do 10%. If you're still working your way out of debt, do 5%.
How much should you keep in there? Most references suggest 3 to 6 months worth of expenses, with some saying as many as 8 months. However, these amounts, especially when you're just starting an emergency fund, can seem overwhelming as goals.
To overcome this, just begin with a goal of a smaller amount, from $250 to $500 in your emergency fund. Once you've done that, shoot for $1,000. From there, work up to 3 months' worth of expenses, followed by 6 month's worth, and finally to 8 month's worth.
How do you know how much your expenditures are each month? Re-read money tips #11 and #12!

Justice Louis Brandeis taken from Olmstead v. United States in 1928.
“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficial. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”

Group of men accused of leading an anti - government faction
Action News is learning more about a group of men accused of leading an anti-government faction and being involved in money laundering, tax scams, and threats to law enforcement.
Among that new information, none of those four men have a criminal history.
That, in part, led to their release from federal custody Friday evening after being arraigned.
However, a prosecutor argued that one of those men said "law enforcement officers need to duck for an attack because I'm hunkered down."
When federal agents raided Harold Call's home in Northwest Las Vegas Thursday, they raided it heavily armed and heavily armored.
Those tactics ATF Special Agent, Thomas Chittum, knows all too well.
"The allegations of possession of illegal firearms is one the ATF takes seriously," he says.
Call pleaded not guilty to firearms charges Friday in federal court.

Randomly funny post from The *Angriest* Pharmacist:
Everyone’s had money in their pocket that was damn near burning a hole in it. Most of us experienced that when we were 13, got a $20 bill as a birthday present from grandma, and blew it the next day at K-Mart on some worthless bullshit we didn’t need — like an erotic poster featuring Ann Coulter or a Bart Simpson pullstring doll that says, “Cowabunga DUDE,” in three different languages.
Why is it most adults experiencing Holus Burnus Pocketus are patients in my pharmacy?
Today, I had the following conversation:
“Okay, we’ll have these three ready for you in about 15 minutes.”
“How much is it?” [They always gotta know!]
“Well, we have to run it through your insurance for you. They decide on the price, but glancing at it, I’d guess that the Somas aren’t gonna be covered and the Vicodin is going to be 2 dollars. That would bring the total price to $15.99″
“Okay, here you go.” [As he tries to hand me $16]
“Actually, you pay when you pick it up.”
“Ohh, well keep this money with my prescriptions then.”
“No, we don’t do that in case something changes and you don’t want them or you have to leave suddenly without the scripts. You just hold on to it. I’ll have these ready for you in a jif.”
“Why can’t you keep it? That makes no sense.”
“No, what makes no sense is why you want to leave it with us. The main reason we can as that it would just end in someone saying they gave us money (or gave us more) and we ’stole’ it from them. Are you afraid that you are going to spend your money in the next 15 minutes?”
“I just wanted you all to keep it.”
“Sorry.”
-=+=-
I don’t understand why this progressed past, “You pay when you pick it up.” Does anyone else know the motivation behind this bullshit?
I would assume he was just gonna say he gave us more money in the hope we would believe the shit he spewed at us, open the safe, and give him 10 more dollars or something.
Or perhaps he had a dealer in the parking lot and he was afraid he’d blow it on, well, blow, before he got his legal shit — Soma andVicodin.
Any other ideas?

blackpajamas Sat, Mar 7, 2009 1:56:28am |
____ Mental Cargo Limbargo ____
Hello everybody, my name is blackpajamas.
When taking a sojourn from cut-throat commerce, I re-discover life's simple pleasures by torturing innocent people with inquisition-level mathematics.
For example, If I could get every dumb-ass California high school student in one room (nearly all of them), I would show you what "Algebra-Boarding" means.
(Hint: It means they don't graduate if they break down into tears factoring a linear polynomial more slowly than grandpaw).
Let's get started! Today's fun math term is linear interpolation!
For example, if we take a snapshot of the closing prices of the DOW Jones Industrial average over the past several months, and draw a line through all of those points, then by examining the line we draw (a linear interpolation) we see that the DOW will reach zero before Labor Day.
Naturally, some of you are saying, "Oooh, there'll be a heck of a sale at Macys!"
Well, yes. It's called a liquidation sale. They'll be selling Macys.
In case you don't get your pallet-loads of discount linens, for which you've always dreamed of using your 401-K, don't fret!
Wal*Mart will probably buy them, along with GM, then fire their socialist management and sell the labor contracts of the fattened little pigs at the GM jobs-bank to a sweat shop in Rangoon.
Wal*Mart may even start printing its own money. However, if you don't trust Big-Ticket Retail, you will still have maximum freedom.
In exchange for your worthless dollars, you will be issued a government standard "green-achiever" bar-be-que, upon which you can enjoy your tasty Soylent-Gore brand stimulus tofu (it's made out of superior people).
However, before we get carried away by the mirth of linear interpolation, never mind that your parents retirement savings is careening into oblivion like a English tea-totaler on a toboggan destined for the warming-hut outhouse, let us calmly embrace our new mathematical friend, the Markov chain.
See, the Markov chain is stronger than a bicycle chain, because if you left your the bike chain in the rain, it would rust, and you would be lame.
However, if you are strong enough to get a Markov chain on you bike, you're guaranteed it will not rust -- the Markov chain only depends on it's present state, how clean you keep it now -- not how much rust accumulated in the past.
The Markov chain exhibits a memory-less property, like Chris Country-Wide Dodd, Barney Frankie-Mae, and the Haunt from Red Baraktober -- earmark my words!
Or, think of somebody who always lives in the present, like David Letterman.
Do you remember right after September 11th 2001, when little David Letterman was on TV crying, like a little girl in tears after being maced for attempting to say the pledge of allegiance in a public space, in front of the whole world?
Yet today, little memoryless Markov-Dave tries to make the manly big words, assisted by some eco-friendly chest-hair budgetary expansion act, attempting a puff-and-run, flailing to challenge The Voice of Sanity, what does little Davy recall?
Although their mental condition is memoryless, little do the Liberals know, but their tear-drop induced rust on their (saggy) welfare-state chains is showing (and growing!).

Last night I had a political argument with a friend of mine revolving around the Messiah. The guy worships the 0 and is in love with his rhetorical skills and the fact that he says what he's going to do, unlike most politicians. I was able to throw out some strong points about the stupidity of his economic plans, but if anybody can provide me with links to send to him that explain why taxing the rich is futile as a long term plan, why bailing out companies such as the automakers is in essence nationalization with all its inherent shortfalls, &c, I would appreciate it.

I had lamb kebab (souvlaki), pilaf, a potato wedge, a half plate of "Greek" fries with like seasoning and cheese, a pan-fried cheese appetizer (they bring the cheese in a fire pan and throw some ouzo on there), calamari, bread and this amazing garlic spread, and half a slice of cheesecake.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind is a statistic I heard (verify this for yourself) that even if 0bama taxed everyone who made $500,000/year or more at a 100% tax rate, he would only have another $1.3 trillion to work with, and that wouldn't even get him started on his future plans.
Besides, it's not like 0bama is going to limit himself to taxing any definition of "the rich". The cap-and-trade system he wants to put into place will effectively be a tax on everybody.

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

That's an interesting quote, as from the Liberal's point of view, when they run out of other people's money, we think that they'll do just one thing:
Print more money.
That's only partially true.
Not only will they print more money, they will print more people.
Not only in the in the case of insta-dependents, like the Octo-Mom, but they will create fresh credit reports, and credit-worthiness, backed up by your tax dollars, for every beating-pulse that can sneak across our borders (and I don't mean the Maple-Leaf mafia).

From last August (2008): California Ballot Initiative to Impose 45% Income Tax, 55% Wealth Tax & 36%-54% Exit Tax
A California activist is trying to gather the 694,354 signatures needed to place a tax initiative on the ballot that would:
• Impose a new 35% income surtax (in addition to federal taxes and the existing 10.3% top state rate) -- 17.5% (on all of the taxpayer's income) when income exceeds $150,000 (single)/$250,000 (joint), and an additional 17.5% (again, on all of the taxpayer's income) when income exceeds $350,000 (single)/$500,000 (joint).
• Impose a one-time 55% wealth tax on assets exceeding $20 million held by a California resident or held in California by nonresident.
• Impose an exit tax of between 36.5% to 54.3% on both income and unrealized appreciation in asset values over $5 million when a resident dies or leaves California.

Even if he taxed everyone who made $75,000.00 or more at 100% he still would not have enough money to pay for his ridiculous spending plans. I also heard a good one last night which gives you a good idea of how much a trillion dollars is. If you had a trillion dollars in one dollar bills it would take the average person over 9000 years to count it. Also if you had 1 trillion dollars in $1000.00 dollar bills and lay them flat on top of each other it would make a stack over 69 miles high. The Messiah has proposed over 4 trillion dollars in new spending since he became president. Which would mean a stack of $1000.00 dollar bills about 280 miles high and it would takes the average person 32,000 years to count it. Only God and your grandchildren know how long it will take to pay it off.

Mr. Key's coalition government, which includes parties to the right and left of the Nationals, has moved fast to implement a program of tax cuts, regulatory reform and government retooling. He won't label it supply-side economics and smiles when I ask if he's a Milton Friedman or Friedrich Hayek acolyte. "I'm not deeply ideologically driven," he says. "I believe in good center right politics."
Mr. Key is returning the country to a formula for prosperity that's worked in the past. As in Britain, the U.S. and Australia in the 1980s, New Zealand's government implemented a wide-ranging program of economic liberalization, including deep reductions in tariffs and subsidies, and privatization of state-run industries. The plan, nicknamed "Rogernomics" after then-Finance Minister (now Sir) Roger Douglas, was akin to Reaganomics, and the island nation grew smartly.

Well, if you did want to start printing even bad $100 bills on your inkjet printer, here's a breakdown of how long it would take you to print $700 billion worth of them.
Short version: When you finished printing $700 billion on the fastest commercial inkjet printers available, it will be the year 2020. Sarah Palin will be 56, and Joe Biden will be 73.

Thanks (once again--) for posting this. The visual is important.
I work with high school students whose eyes glaze over when they look at big numbers. They REALLY cannot read big numbers, or express large numbers in words. Maybe this picture will help.They'll be voting soon, though.
You're welcome.
I've long been fascinated with ways of visualizing various concepts. Here's a few sites I've collected that focus on exactly that.
One of my favorite instances of visualizing a concept was done by 3M last year. They had developed the strongest plexiglass ever. To demonstrate its strength, they had a box made of this material (it was clear), and placed $1 million in $100 bills inside the box (similar to visualization above). The box was then bolted to a steel post (so you couldn't just walk off with the box).
On the box it said, "If you can break this glass and get the money out, it's yours. 3M."
Needless to say, no one was able to get the money, and their new plexiglass formula is now well respected for its strength.

re: #24 Killian Bundy
are you telling me there's not one person in the whole State Department who knows how to read and write Russian?
Incidentally, the Russian guy tells Hillary that the word on the button, peregruzka, means "overcharge" -- which Hillary quite logically interprets in the sense of "to take too much money from a customer. " (She jokes "I hope you won't do that to us.")
However, peregruzka actually means "an overcharge" in the specific sense of "an overload on an electrical circuit" or "an excessive charging of a battery" -- that's why it's so similar to the word that means "the resetting (of a circuit)," namely perezagruzka. The root of both words is gruz -- which most literally translates "burden," but by extension means "electrical load."
This of course doesn't excuse the translation error; I'm just pointing out that linguistically, the fuck-up is not as huge as some people might think from watching the video. (I mean, it's not AS bad as if they actually confused the word for "reset" with the word for "overbill"; the translator was at least in the ballpark.)

Defiant Sudan quickly expels aid agencies, imperiling Darfur
By Shashank Bengali %P% McClatchy Newspapers
NAIROBI, Kenya — A day after an international court called for his arrest on war-crimes charges, Sudanese President Omar al Bashir on Thursday took his anger out on Western humanitarian agencies, expelling 13 major relief groups working in Darfur and vowing to defy the arrest order.
[snip]The expulsion orders were a drastic show of force by a government in crisis.
The humanitarian operation in Darfur is the largest and most complex in the world, and relief officials warned of devastating consequences for many of the 4.2 million people in Darfur who depend on outside agencies for services that the central government doesn't provide.
This is sure to get much worse before it gets better.

This is the most frightening part of that article -
New and expanded refundable tax credits would raise the fraction of taxpayers paying no income taxes to almost 50% from 38%. This is potentially the most pernicious feature of the president's budget, because it would cement a permanent voting majority with no stake in controlling the cost of general government.
Think about that. Half of the citizens in the country won't care what any government program costs - they won't be paying for it.

From the link:
African leaders continued to back Bashir, with the African Union announcing that it would send a high-level delegation to the U.N. Security Council to push for a one-year postponement of the warrant. In his own country, as well, even Bashir's critics said that no one in Sudan would dare oppose him.
And thus we have the stalemate that can't be solved by any foreign leader. The African Union doesn't want to be seen as dependent upon westerners to get the job done... but they can't do it themselves either.

You know, I voted for McCain because I didn't trust Obama. But after the election, I figured "we've hired him, so let's root for him to do well." So far, the signs are dismal. One can only hope that he stops playing politics with our future and gets his shit together in a hurry. Based on what I have seen from his economic team, especially Geithner and Peter Orszag (who looks like the adult version of the kid freed from the locker in the Blackberry Curve commercial), I am not at all impressed. If Obama continues running the economy in a way that attempts to buy votes in 2012, we are all screwed.

‘Obama Bear Market’ Punishes Investors as Dow Slumps (Update3)
March 6 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama now has the distinction of presiding over his own bear market.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 20 percent since Inauguration Day through yesterday, the fastest drop under a newly elected president in at least 90 years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The gauge lost 53 percent from its October 2007 record of 14,164.53, slipping 4.1 percent to 6,594.44 yesterday.
More than $1.6 trillion was erased from U.S. equities since Jan. 20 as mounting bank losses and rising unemployment convinced investors the recession is getting worse. The president is in danger of breaking a pattern in which the Dow rallied 9.8 percent on average in the 12 months after a Democrat captured the White House, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
“People thought there would be a brief Obama rally, and that hasn’t happened,” said Uri Landesman, who oversees about $2.5 billion at ING Groep NV’s asset management unit in New York. “It speaks to the carnage that’s in the economy and the lack of confidence in the measures that have been announced.”
A bear market is defined as a decline of 20 percent or more.
Buying shares “is a potentially good deal” for long-term investors, Obama said March 3. He compared daily fluctuations to a tracking poll in politics and said he wouldn’t adjust his policies just to meet market expectations. ...
Can't you see how smart he is?

I borrowed this from another lizard:
I hope this administration fails miserably¹.
¹Disclaimer: Use of the term “fail miserably” is predicated on the author’s belief that socialism and collective government policies will do irrevocable damage to the United States of America. Therefore it is most desirous that any implementation of a policy that flies in the face of the Constitution and/or undermines an individual’s inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (specifically in that order), and thus would do damage to this country, fails miserably and the person responsible for implementing said policy fails miserably. These objections are based solely on the author's desire for this country and her citizens to be (1) safe, (2) free, and (3) prosperous. The author emphatically disagrees with the socialist philosophy and collectivist motivation of the current administration and beyond the stated objections wishes the current administration success in both their official and private endeavors.

The Russians must be laughing their asses off at America. In the video, Hillary sounds like a childish buffoon. Whose idea was this red button gift? Michelle's? And then they didn't even get the translation right.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented her Russian counterpart, foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, with a gift to mark their first meeting in Geneva today: an actual button that said "reset."
Or so she thought...
"I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together,'" Clinton said, presenting Lavrov with the red button.
What the foreign minister got, however, was a button that said "peregruzka," which translates into Russian as "overcharge" or "overload" (depending on the context). Oops...
"You got it wrong," Lavrov teased Clinton, but said he would put it on his desk anyway.

lawhawk Sat, Mar 7, 2009 5:48:55am |
So, talking with a few of the more liberal members of my family last nite, the state of the economy inevitably came up. And they tried to proffer that you shouldn't expect a quick turnaround because of all the problems built into the economy over the past decade. I had to point out that Obama is making things worse - that with every time he or Geithner go before the microphones, the markets tank further. They aren't saying anything the markets want to hear.
Geithner was supposed to come up with a plan for the credit markets again, and yet he fumbled - the markets tanked. He can't find people to be his deputies and fill hundreds of slots at Treasury because the same people who are qualified are the same people who got us into this mess.
Congress is a huge reason for the mess, pushing banks to lend to those incapable of repaying. Bad business decisions by banks further complicated matters. They accelerated the process, all in the name of increased home ownership. Now? So much for affordable housing, since Obama's plan is actually going to be counterproductive and prop up markets sorely in need of continued correction due to foreclosure, which coincidentally makes those homes even more affordable to those who have proper credit and the ability to repay.
And a President who has put his faith in tax cheats to fix the economy doesn't exactly instill confidence either.
They could have no answer in any of that. Why? Because it's all true.

Your 401(k) is now a 101(k). /
Seriously though, if you're holding investments for the long term, this situation presents opportunities to buy certain stocks and sectors, but you've got to spread your risk around and accept that you might get burned on some stocks.
Agree. Mr Tiger made a very smart move last spring and got rid of some long-held but under performing stocks. Used the proceeds to do some needed home repairs. Those stocks are worth nothing now, so it was a great move....which he reminds me of quite often.

I think the Russians have big plans. They have huge oil and gas reserves and will use them to exert their power over their neighbors. They look for ways to trip up their 'business partners' in the oil and gas business so they have excuses to kick them out. The idea that handing them a piece of plastic will smooth relations and engage the esprit de corp is ridiculous. They aren't playing checkers, they are playing chess.

It's more than just a huge ego. Plenty of clowns in Washington have big egos. With Obama it's much worse: he appears to be a full blown case of narcissistic personality disorder.
DSM criteria
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:[1]
1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement
6. is interpersonally exploitative
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
By my evaluation, The One scores 9 out of 9.

This crisis will in turn bring down German, Austrian & Swiss banks all of whom hold East European debt. The Russians will move to reassert her "traditional influence in the region".

President Obama has said he wants to "look forward" rather than "backwards." If so, he should not restore risk aversion as the guiding principle of our counterterrorism strategy.

if we really wanted to stimulate the economy with some excellent growth opportunities, we'd recruit more great kids for military careers. In a bad economy, creating jobs and patriots at the same time would be great. Sadly, the current Administration is so anti military that they'll miss a great opportunity and hurt us a lot.

I'll check it out ... thanks. When I saw Coldplay over the summer in CT, they were responding (in their show) to some grief they got from O'Reilly. I looked into it and saw Bill-O was full of shit. Martin was accused of lifting a major riff from Kraftwerk in a song they did. But they credited Kraftwerk and received the band's blessing to use it.

Former Australian PM Paul Keating’s recollections of Tim Geithner:
“Tim Geithner was the Treasury line officer who wrote the IMF [International Monetary Fund] program for Indonesia in 1997-98, which was to apply current account solutions to a capital account crisis. … It takes a gigantic fool to mess that up. But the IMF messed it up. The end result was the biggest fall in GDP in the 20th century. That dubious distinction went to Indonesia. And, of course, Soeharto lost power. … The IMF is the gun that can’t shoot straight. They’ve been making a mess of things for the last 20-odd years, and the greatest mess they made was in east Asia in 1997-98, so much so that no east Asian state will put its head in the IMF noose. …”

She wouldn't go around making discouraging comments about the mess we're in, driving it deeper, as Obama has.
IMHO this crisis is at base a spiritual one, having to do with our goals and motivations as human beings. We need to rethink these for if we knew what was really worth doing we would be doing it and no let up.
An actual leader would put us on that path.
Someone asked Obama, during the campaign, wether he prayed a lot. His answer was "yeah, I guess I do", or words to that effect. (Google it).
Anyone who really had faith and prayed, would not answer "I guess", and IMHO this shows at best shallowness in things spiritual and it shows how completely unfit O is to lead the country out of the blind alley it has chosen to go down.
Palin on the other hand would know what to do, in large part because she has that rock solid confidence that comes from a real connection to the Creator.

Howdy Wyatt! Hope you're doing well today! They just had Ann Coulter on Fox and Friends and she was saying the same thing, but the airheads on F&F (the weekend crew) wanted to know - really kept asking after she answered them - why was Obama going after Rush? According to a Rasmussen Daily Poll (I get it via e-mail Monday through Friday) only 11% of the GOP see Rush as the leader of the GOP. Ann said, quite correctly too, I believe, that they were merely trying to distract the country and making Rush out to be the Bad Guy here when clearly the Bad Guy is Obama who, according to Coulter "inherited a terrible economy and has single handidly turned it into a complete catestrophe!"
It's a deliberate strategy...Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House.
Obama doesn't know how to lead, he only knows how to organize. Alinsky style. his whole campaign was out of the Alinsky playbook.
The attack on Rush is rule #12.
In a crisis people revert to their roots to their training, Obama is reverting to what he knows.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.
American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:
We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right. We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,

Good morning Real West and everyone else. Yesterday I posted the link about my 17 year old daughter's chemistry teacher here in South Jersey that was arrested for aggravated sexual assault of a student at school.
I had mentioned to MR DT that 3 teachers a day are arrested for sexual assault against students in the US. Lo and Behold before the end of the day - two more teachers from MR DT's former middle school in Utah were arrested for sexual assault of a student.

Good morning Kenneth! That article may or may not have been written by someone with an axe to grind, but the results are undeniable: China DID build up a huge warchest so as to NEVER have to go to the IMF again and so far, Geithner has burned through THREE deputy's - one was bounced for tax problems, one was bounced for some other type of imporpriety (I think he worked for Hillary during the primary campaign) and his most recent (3rd) choice has just withdrawn from consideration as Deputy Secretary of the US Treasury for "personal reasons".
Good Lord! We're in a financial crisis of horrible proportions* and our Treasury Secretary can't even find a Deputy!
*not to be cavalier about the unemployment numbers of 8.1% of the labor force, but Mom - who was a young girl durng the first great depression tells me that the unemployment rate in 1934-35 and 36 was over 33% - more than 1/3 of all American men couldn't find jobs for well more than a year (there were no measurable amounts of women in the workforce in those days).

This week two more Philly firefighters were injured while fighting a house fire in the local formerly covered by the now closed Engine 14. Thanks to Mayor Nutter’s disastrous and dangerous fire department cuts and closings serious fires and firefighter injuries are now a fact of life for Philly’s bravest. I was a fire school classmate of the Lieutenant who was burned leading his crew in the fire suppression effort. Thankfully he will recover as will the firefighter who was also burned.
What is even more disheartening is that there was virtually ZERO coverage of this in Philly’s local media. What will it take for the media in this city to cover this dire situation? The Mayor decides to close fire companies because of the economic “downturn”. He eliminates over 140 firefighter positions yet at the same time the Law Department has blown it’s budget by millions of dollars and social service agencies have so far been untouched by the budget ax.

What they don't get is Rush revels in the attention, his audience number have jumped. Folks who've listened to Rush for a long time know the Bombast, the pomposity, the arrogance, is all schtick. I know someone who met Rush and was essentially a "handler" for Rush when he came to Seattle to campaign for Rush. The on air personality is just that.

I never thought I'd be able to retire, but I had hoped that once I got to that age I'd be able to work part-time at something I enjoyed doing to supplement my savings.
Now? Probably work full-time until I drop dead at my desk. If I'm lucky enough to keep a job.

Boston's city unions want their members to know that "we're all in this together." Only some are more "in" than others.
Faced with the firing of hundreds of city workers to close a $131 million budget gap, all of Boston's big public-sector unions continue to reject Mayor Menino's call for a wage freeze. Freezing paychecks where they are would mean more city workers would keep getting them. Without the freeze, the best-paid union members would get the biggest raises, and the lowest-paid workers would get pink slips.

President Barack Obama on Saturday challenged his country to see its hard times as a chance to "discover great opportunity in the midst of great crisis."
As the crisis develops, it will be important to use the mass media to inform the broader llberal community about the inefflciencies and injustices of welfare. ....
And throughout the crisis, the mass media should be used to advance arguments
for a new federal income distribution program.

Anyway they talked about Olberman & how he has misrepresented his academic credentials.
He asserts that he went to Cornell. Apparently he did , but not that Corell.
He went to a Cornell Ag school. Anybody know anything about that?
She talks about it at length in her latest column. If she could get back on the meds, and stop trying defend white supremacist sites, she would be the best voice out there from the right.

re: #660 Killer Tomato
Boston's city unions want their members to know that "we're all in this together." Only some are more "in" than others.
Faced with the firing of hundreds of city workers to close a $131 million budget gap, all of Boston's big public-sector unions continue to reject Mayor Menino's call for a wage freeze. Freezing paychecks where they are would mean more city workers would keep getting them. Without the freeze, the best-paid union members would get the biggest raises, and the lowest-paid workers would get pink slips.
Unions Would Rather Fire Than Freeze
Steel Unions in the '70s. Take a small pay cut now, so the companies can upgrade equipment. Keep the jobs, get raises when the company is competitive again. Unions said no.... the rust belt was born.

Cornell has a state school (SUNY) along with the private university. Alfred University has something similar. Tuition is a fraction of the cost of the other departments ($10k vs $18k per semester for undergrad) in the university because the state picks up a big portion of the tab.
College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is one of three undergraduate colleges at Cornell that are affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY). As a New York State "state-assisted college" we have a unique responsibility to educate and conduct research and public service programs that will benefit the people of the state. In return, the state contributes a portion of our operating expenses which provides funds for student support, faculty and improved classrooms and laboratories. It also helps keep our tuition low, making your Cornell degree more affordable.

Ed Koch shouldn't be on that list, primarily because he did help get NYC's financial disaster under control following the Lindsay and Beame administrations. The city was still ungovernable, but there were efforts to change things underway as a result of MAC and elimination of the Board of Estimate (found unconstitutional). Dinkins didn't do much either way - to harm or help improve the city's economic situation.
NYC has a residency requirement for several of its job listings and categories, but some are being relaxed (demanded by the unions btw) because their people can't afford to actually live in the city they're working in. Firefighters are exempt from the residency requirement, and there are often tales of how firefighters will travel hours to go to work, rather than live in the city where they can't afford to do so.

I learned a long time ago to sort out the chaff. You're very seldom going to find someone that agrees with you 100% on every subject. that is why our freedom is so precious. I don't have to agree with a person to protect their first amendment rights.
Just having the right to first amendment protection does not negate our good temperance of discernment.
I am having a hard time with the purpose intended for this video.
The Irish music tune, the mask, the emphasis on REPUBLICAN, The autism connection to giving your children preschool vaccinations, and the fact that our military would be bound to any executive orders by the president. The upside down, US flag flown in a sign of international distress is unnerving to me.

…Feminism has betrayed an entire generation of women into childlessness. It is devastating.
I agree with her statement on some level. Growing up in the 70's, I must confess that the 2nd wave feminist movement did influence me to believe that becoming a homemaker would render me a failure as a woman. It was not until later that I came to respect women that preferred to forgo a career for the sake of their family.

To be fair - in 1948 most of Europe was in no shape to bitch and moan about anything, they were trying not to slide back into yet another armed conflict.
!948 was the year Stalin blockaded Berlin, and General Cassius Clay started the Air Lift, so as not to have communism advance even further.
Elsewhere, people were still struggling to live on rations, and trying to rebuild.
I believe you mean General Lucius Dubignon Clay

re: #859 Afrocity
Walter they are convinced that I am going through a phase.
They cannot understand why I did not vote for the "first AA president"
They said something like "Have you changed your tune in regards to Obama. Surely you are pleased with Obama's cabinet picks...as most of them are from the Clinton era and Afrocity you did vote for Clinton"I told them that it changed nothing.
Like I said stress and I have become fodder for family gatherings of late. Can't deal with it today.
If I were trying to convince someone to support Obama right now, the Cabinet picks would not be my first picks for evidence. Obama's dog might do a better job than Geithner. The dog would definitely do better than Chas Freeman; at least we could hope it might pee on a Saudi's foot.
