Did you read the bill?

2010-10-14T10:52:00.002-04:00

Congressman Tom Perriello touts his vote for ObamaCare as a good one. He’s proud the new law covers children to age 26, has no lifetime coverage limits and nobody can be denied health insurance because of a precondition. Oh yeah, it supposedly reduces the deficit. But truly, Congressman Perriello, did you read the bill? If you had, you would have discovered that the administration costs

Hillary on the Hunt

2010-09-30T13:12:00.003-04:00

Recently, “Secret-ary of State” Hillary Clinton, former predestined candidate for the 2008 Democrat presidential nomination, uttered in a question and answer session that the burgeoning debt was detrimental to national defense. Apparently, America can’t attack another nation and still expect that country to continue lending us money. Still, Hillary’s “lapse into reasoning” leads some to

O-blame-a

2010-09-23T08:50:00.003-04:00

What a difference two years can make. During the 2008 presidential campaign, the slogans were “Hope,” “Change” and “Yes, we can.” But, after almost two years as president, Obama is having difficulty actually governing. With poll numbers dropping, Obama has put into overdrive what will be his strategy to win in 2010. Hence, his new campaign slogans are “Hope we can still blame Republicans” and “No

To ACTA or Not To ACTA

2010-09-09T12:53:00.003-04:00

That is the question this September where 27 nations including the US will try to enact the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). ACTA deals with “piracy over the Internet,” which includes counterfeit goods, generic medicines, censorship and downloading. This treaty would create a global organization, the World Intellectual Property Organization, to control globally copyright and

That Anomalous Arctic

2010-09-09T12:51:00.000-04:00

The stories have been in the news but not necessarily on the front page nor been the newspaper headlines, and they’ve not been the lead stories on television news. But make no mistake. These stories have been around and have become the counter attack to ClimateGate and the not all too surprising follow-up to 2009, currently the supposed warmest year on record. Now the alarmists claim that

Recovery, What Recovery?

2010-09-02T09:11:00.001-04:00

Obama and his many mighty minions are convinced that Americans will believe there’s an economic recovery if they just say it’s coming back often enough. Obama constantly insists that his $862 billion “Stick It to Us” stimulus plan has yet to make its biggest impact and that we’ve “turned the corner” economically speaking. VP Joe Biden always good for a gaffe that’s a laugh called this “The

Curse Those Camels

2010-08-26T09:15:00.002-04:00

Much ado has been made on the “Ground Zero Mosque” (GZM) to be built just two blocks from the World Trade Center (WTC) memorial. The issue was just a smoldering sore spot for many, but then Obama entered the fray coming out in support of its construction. Leave it to Obama to throw gasoline on the fire igniting to only his surprise a firestorm. Of course, it’s Bush’s fault. On the positive

Just Too Cushy For Their Tushies

2010-08-12T11:13:00.002-04:00

Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello, who hopefully only has five more months in his job, claims that he’s the hardest working man in congress. Well, nobody will ever accuse Perriello of being overly modest. And while he’s down in the polls in his re-election bid against Republican opponent John Hurt, he seems to be very up on the Internet that is. With ads, ads everywhere many “Perriello

No Right to Rewrite

2010-08-10T09:25:00.002-04:00

With Obama’s poll numbers dropping faster than BP’s stock lately, it’s highly likely that “Obama, the None,” will fulfill his prophecy of being a one term president. But his lasting effect on what’s left of the American republic could be decades especially on the judicial system. The decision on Arizona’s new immigration law demonstrates Bill Clinton’s effect even

From Obama, the One, to “Obama, the None”

2010-08-04T11:46:00.002-04:00

Remember when then VP candidate Joe Biden after the market crash of 2008 in one of his many gaffes said that Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) “got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He [FDR that is] said, “Look, here’s what happened.” Well, that didn’t happen. FDR never said any of what Biden quoted. FDR wasn’t president in 1929, and television

Politicizing Professions

2010-07-27T09:30:00.000-04:00

Just imagine if other professions were like politics. Let’s go beyond just comparisons to prostitution because currently there aren’t many differences of note between those two except that in politics the ones getting screwed i.e. the taxpayers really don’t enjoy it. However, what if engineers were like politicians making many promises with their products yet don’t keep a single one of them?

A Communism that’s Contra Crackers

2010-07-21T16:06:00.003-04:00

Many voters chose Obama because they believed he was a racial reuniter. Never mind his membership to the Trinity United Church (and church is used loosely here). It practiced BLT, not the famous sandwich, but “Black Liberation Theology.” BLT is one of the most racist religions on the planet, and Obama not only called the Reverend Wright, the pastor there, his mentor, but also sat below his pulpit

Nothing Noble about Chernobyl

2010-07-19T12:04:00.001-04:00

On April 26, 1986 from deep within the USSR, a place no American had ever heard of before, began what would become the “Battle of Chernobyl.” Born from complacency, fed by an attitude of “bad events can’t happen because they’re never mentioned,” and a test on a poisoned reactor that should have waited for another day, 500000 Soviets, citizens of the first socialist state, would soon face

Socialize Movies Not Medicine

2010-06-29T13:34:00.000-04:00

As America focuses on the “Oil Spill of the Century” this summer, another Obama disaster unfolds that started just one month earlier. The passage of ObamaCare has created another budgetary spill, which when all the numbers get tallied will be an economic “manmade caused disaster” of epic proportions that will effect more people at the times they’ll need it most.Long after the “Gulf Spill of 2010”

Despite Spill Still Should Drill

2010-06-15T10:00:00.001-04:00

The phrase ought to make every “enviro-analist’s” skin crawl. Sarah Palin said “Drill Baby Drill,” and they still haven’t gotten over it. The distinction between environmentalists and shrill to a drill “enviro-analists” both of whom purport to care about the environment can be easily seen in the center of those words, mental versus anal. People who go anal to drilling anywhere are even more

Tarred Till Totally FUBARred

2010-06-09T09:55:00.001-04:00

The popularized terms SNAFU (Situation Normal All Fouled Up) and FUBAR (Fouled up Beyond All Recognition) didn’t originate from a corporate boardroom not even the one at British Petroleum, but from government. While their true origin can be disputed, it’s a good bet that they were coined around WWI or WWII when due to the draft many Americans were recruited for the first time into the wonderful

Don’t Be Fooled By “D” Lies

2010-06-01T16:34:00.002-04:00

One of the congressional races that Democrats managed to win recently was John Murtha’s seat in the 12th congressional district of Pennsylvania. Murtha, who died recently, slandered US troops for the Haditha “massacre.” All except one were eventually acquitted. The last case is still pending. Republicans had hoped to pick up this seat that is probably one of the most expensive considering how

Set on the Net

2010-05-31T10:28:00.001-04:00

While attention has been drawn elsewhere with the selection of Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court, the Obama administration has been steadily moving to control a medium that was for the most part was credited with his election win in 2008. Blackberry Barry Satoro, his name before he became Barack Obama and president who wouldn’t surrender his blackberry, now claims he knows nothing about the

Golfing vs. Goofing Up the Gulf

2010-05-11T12:13:00.002-04:00

Many conservatives criticize Obama for golfing too much. Why he’s already golfed more times than Bush did in his entire 8 years. Conversely, pro-regressives derided Bush relentlessly for golfing. So much so, that Bush basically gave up swinging a club. But, Obama seems to swing quite often and sometimes even at golf that is. This in no way a cheap shot reference to the National Enquirer’s tawdry

Getting Down With the Founders

2010-05-05T17:46:00.000-04:00

Unfortunately, many Americans, who just happen to be “melanin-ally endowed,” find it difficult to accept that most incredible document of this nation, the US Constitution. Instead of having an appreciation for what is the greatest work of representational government in history, they feel cheated of its freedom because it did not initially include everyone.Slavery was the Constitution’s greatest

The Problems with Plastic

2010-04-27T12:03:00.003-04:00

One of the greatest comic strips of all time is from Dilbert. It’s the one where all the employees had to write what they had accomplished over the year as part of their evaluations. To say some tiny exaggerations were made would be an understatement. For example, one employee wrote that while others plotted against the boss. He instead had applied an invisible rust inhibitor to his supervisor’s

The "Hopeless Healthcare Hotline"

2010-04-16T15:03:00.002-04:00

Many are having trouble with Obama’s healthcare hijacking. Apparently, they’re too steeped in racist ideas like free markets. They just can’t pro-regress and believe ObamaCare will be like Christmas that it will drop premiums 3000%, save businesses tons of money or not completely take over medicine. Unfortunately, for them ObamaCare has become their ObamaScare.Well, the Obama administration may

Ready For Some R and R

2010-04-06T12:22:00.003-04:00

One of the good ideas behind the new Republican slogan, “Repeal and Replace,” is that it’s just not repeal. It’s a good response to the sore throat Americans feel from having ObamaCare shoved down their gullets. Pro-regressives, who are exceptionally good at demagoging, would then claim that Republicans are running on just repeal. In fact, Obama is already doing this. One thing about

The Day the Republic Died

2010-03-30T12:11:00.001-04:00

While this epitaph may be a little melodramatic for some, this government run amok brings smiles to only a select few. Pro-regressives have long dreamt of taking over healthcare, and now they have placed a noose around another condemned industry. Health insurance companies will become in essence agencies of the federal government.Pro-regressives rail constantly against the ill-gotten gains of

Obama-Speak: An Introductory Course

2010-02-16T10:10:00.000-05:00

Obama may not speak a black dialect as Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has so noted, but he does have a language all his own. It’s a cross between double talk and zero think a curious combination of naivety and narcissism. Obama can be eloquent when on a teleprompter or two (see later), but when not a “slip-up in utterance” is more than likely to occur. But even with a teleprompter,

Keystone Kops: “Kase of the KSM Kludge”

2010-02-10T11:46:00.001-05:00

In the war on terror, the Obama administration is quickly proving that they “kan’t” shoot straight like in those old silent movie Keystone Kops comedies. Promises are made, but not kept. Facts are stated without any backup evidence. Decisions are made, and nobody knows who made them. But when top administration officials declared in senate hearings recently that a major terrorist attack is

State of Delusion Speech

2010-02-02T09:03:00.002-05:00

It’s been said, “There are lies, damn lies, and now there’s Obama’s last State of the Union speech.” Filled with blame for others, half baked ideas, hypocrisy beyond all hypocrisies, 68 minutes that not only made MSNBC host Chris Mathews forget Obama was black, but also made many Americans want to forget that they had voted for Obama in the first place.For what president has ever criticized the

Transparent, as Mud on Brown’s Truck

2010-01-26T13:25:00.001-05:00

Well, congressional Democrats did it, passed ObamaCare as 58% of Americans are now against it being just months ago in favor. Democrats losing the debate whine that opponents are misleading when they’re the ones misleading. Secret meetings, backroom deals, no debates on C-Span even though Obama promised there would be. Squeaker Pelosi claimed that their thrusting healthcare down America’s throat

Avatar: How to Hate Humanity (in 160 Minutes or Less)

2010-01-12T13:25:00.002-05:00

Normally, when discussing a movie, a spoiler alert should be given. It warns that further reading may divulge knowledge of hidden plots or surprise endings, which would otherwise ruin a well produced picture. Alas, Avatar has no such problems. After watching for five minutes, any reasonably intelligent person can deduce the all too typical and tripe message and its totally stale finale.Avatar

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

2010-01-05T11:34:00.002-05:00

My holidays were spent in sunny, southern Florida. Twas a wonderful time with family except for one caveat, a variable of potentially contentious and uncontrollable emotions often expressed in threats and anger otherwise known as a long “estranged from family” brother.For nearly 30 years, this estranged brother, hereby referred to as EB, has blamed his family for various “issues” in his life.

Copenhagen Cartoon: “Climate Chasers”

2009-12-22T11:43:00.002-05:00

Watching what happened in Copenhagen, Demark, reminded me of that Merry Melodies cartoon, “Cheese Chasers,” where two mice no longer want to eat cheese and decide to end it all. So, they want a cat to eat them. But, when the mice force themselves into the cat’s mouth, the cat smells a rat (or two of them to be precise), and a sign showing what the cat is thinking is then displayed saying, “

“Afghanis-nam:” Another Vietnam

2009-12-15T18:31:00.001-05:00

Recently, Obama finally made a decision regarding a troop surge for Afghanistan. According to his administration, Obama was seriously deliberating and listening to all sides to determine exactly what to do. No other decision during his brief tenure has he taken longer to make. So, why were so many disappointed with his decision?Even Obama’s ardent supporters on the fringe left were complaining.

The Audacity of Hoaxers

2009-12-01T09:13:00.003-05:00

Recently, the Associated Press (AP), being so concerned that support for manmade global warming (MGW) is waning; they actually went to statisticians to “rework” the temperature data. According to the AP, the Internet (and probably those early, freak snowstorms this fall) is causing many to fall from the MGW faith. No doubt, the snowstorms were manmade caused by the constant snow job of arrogant

ChristCare for Christmas?

2009-11-24T10:12:00.002-05:00

The congress has finally gone and done it. They passed the most unconstitutional bill in American history, PelosiCare or was that ObamaCare. Maybe, it should be SorrosCare or just “You’ll Be Sore Care.” Whatever it is, the Queen of Sheba, a.k.a. Squeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, hopes it will become law by year’s end, and she already calling it America’s Christmas gift. Well, America would be

The Day Diversity (Should Have) Died

2009-11-18T00:10:00.002-05:00

On November 5th an "Islamofascist" terrorist attack was perpetrated on unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood, TX. There, the truth was expressed. Many find it difficult to say a Muslim extremist, who was as overt as he could be with his radical beliefs, was simply ignored by those who should have done something. Yet, because of political correctness (PC), they did nothing. So, 13 soldiers, 14 counting an

Socialism: Up Close and Very Personal

2009-11-03T10:53:00.003-05:00

In 2007 Robert Reich gave a speech in that “pro-regressive” bastion of Berkley, CA. It was what he wanted a presidential candidate to say about healthcare if only the voters were more enlightened able like he to differentiate myth from reality. In it, he said that young people will be forced into paying into a government healthcare system. The audience applauded including students who obviously

ObamaCare: From Debt to Death

2009-10-27T09:44:00.001-04:00

Seniors won’t be getting a social security COLA increase next year. COLA is calculated from the inflation index, which is zero from this recession soon to be depression. Actually, real prices are skyrocketing, but because energy prices have dropped rapidly, inflation is supposedly in check.Yet, while COLA is zero, the Medicare deducted for social security checks will still increase. So, seniors

Loony Liberalism

2009-10-20T11:15:00.001-04:00

The title is an obvious redundancy of terms for liberals are naturally nutty, but the messiah especially seems to have no limit to his madness. Like his decision to release the enhanced interrogations methods that kept America safe. For the sake of transparency, Obama told the terrorists all the in and outs of what CIA agents could and did do.Liberals just love to create fanciful concepts and

Going Gruesomely Green

2009-10-13T08:57:00.001-04:00

There’s this oil heat radio ad where two extreme green neighbors are talking tit for tat on who’s saving the planet better. Whether it’s driving a hybrid verses not commuting at all to organic gardening verses solar powered composters, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greenest of them all.” The ending is especially interesting. Each neighbor, after saying their somewhat friendly goodbyes,

Russian Reset, Nyet!

2009-10-07T17:39:00.001-04:00

What if a cross between President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain could be done and what would the result be? Given the recent actions of President Obama and a speech he gave to the UN recently, anyone with at least one functional neuron couldn’t help but notice that this man is encouraging dictatorships while at the same time disparaging American allies. And to what purpose,

Doodoo-ology: The Science of Sheer Stupidity

2009-10-07T17:38:00.002-04:00

A good definition for progressivism would simply be “Educated Stupidity.” While many progressives believe everyone else is stupid, they’ve been taught to be stupider than stupid, for they go way beyond mere ignorance. Many have high muckety-muck degrees from prestigious universities, but what they’ve learned is pure crapola or in other words, just “Doodoo-ology.” For example, progressives believe

“No-Good Deeds” Shouldn’t Go Unpunished

2009-09-22T09:03:00.002-04:00

While the two Virginia gubernatorial candidates differ on many issues, on some voters wouldn’t know. Just recently, Democrat candidate Creigh Deeds claims he, like his opponent Republican Bob McDonnell, wants to cut taxes and protect small businesses. But, Deeds also said that he would gladly sign a transportation plan that included raising taxes. Indeed, Deeds has voted numerous times for gas

Right, What Right?

2009-09-15T12:11:00.001-04:00

The other day I was having trouble writing an article (lately this rarely happens), and I determined that it must be that I had run out of free speech. So, I went to the store and asked the clerk which aisle was the free speech stocked. He gave me this very puzzled look. Apparently, free speech, a right, is something that can’t be sold at any price. Conversely, a commodity that has a cost to

“Sick-O Fancy”

2009-09-08T12:13:00.000-04:00

Birds of a feather flock together. This trite phrase would be enough to sink any politician who associates with even one unsavory person. The media would just have a field day. But when it comes to Obama, there’s a vacuous void in their otherwise lackluster reporting. One that’s more than just mere sycophancy, it’s a “sick-O fancy.” When “Lord Obama” establishes his dictatorship, and make no

2009-09-01T12:14:00.000-04:00

While many are experiencing “The Year Without a Summer,” the “House of Ill Repute” formally known as the House of Representatives, passed “Cap and Trade” anyway. America must fight global warming despite cooling that’s been so pronounced even alarmists can no longer deny it For example, the New York Al Timezerra, in an article, “In New York, It’s the Summer That Isn’t,” bemoaned “this could be

Hold ‘Em or Holdup?

2009-08-25T12:15:00.000-04:00

One of the many crazes in America just happens to be “Texas Hold ‘Em.” It’s a fairly simple poker game, which is probably why it’s so popular. Another similar kind of game but a bit more complicated named “Omaha” never quite caught on. But in Texas everything is bigger and that includes poker in its own namesake. The rules of the game, for those who’ve managed to miss the many reruns of the “

Assisted Suicide Anyone?

2009-08-18T12:16:00.000-04:00

At the risk of spreading vicious rumors, death panels would exist if ObamaCare gets enacted. This is from the mouth of Obama himself. At his ABC healthcare infomercial, when asked about a 95 year old getting a pacemaker, Obama suggested that this elderly lady would be better getting painkillers instead. Of course, a panel would make this critical decision, and they’d never consider a person’s

Terms of Non-Endearment

2009-08-12T13:04:00.001-04:00

One term that’s really a misnomer is “organic food.” According to the Webster dictionary, organic means, “characteristic of, pertaining to, or derived from living organisms.” But when organic is placed with food, well, it doesn’t mean that non-organic food is totally artificial. For example, organic milk comes from cows, but what about “non-organic” milk? It certainly wouldn’t be a non-dairy

NICE Isn’t So Nice

2009-08-05T13:06:00.000-04:00

Obama has made it his “Mission One:” healthcare and to lie about everything concerning. He claims that his Single Decider Socialized Medicine System (SDSMS) will save America so much money that the US Treasury will no longer need to print so much. So, please stop the printing presses now! Actually, his lie was even bigger. His plan will lead to economic expansion as well as wouldn’t cost a dime
