We saw this coming

Obama and his advisers are idiots.

I have to take a shower, but I'll get back to this later.

EDIT:


I can't really do the magnitude of this new proposal justice. It just absolutely boggles the mind. The amount of blithering idiocy, nay, the raw, unvarnished calculating wolves of Fascism have reared their ugly heads in plan view of America and the world.

It is a budget expansion of biblical proportions, and only means a further economic fall from grace for the world's greatest nation. As the bastion of the world economy, when the US has a cold, the world contracts pneumonia.

In the same way the man with a millstone around his neck drowns in the icy depths of the north Atlantic, this 3 stage expansion of the Federal Government and its borrowing off the back of my generation and our offspring will continue to wreak havoc for years and years to come.

Mr. KnightWing, I do trust you are happy with an update.

In Mexico. Again

Just so ya'll know, I'm in Reynosa Mexico on yet another trip. This is for another house, I'll be back saturday night.

In the mean time, i'm liking Bobby Jindal more and more.
" "The way to lead is not to raise taxes and put more money and power in hands of Washington politicians," Jindal said. The plan will "grow the government, increase our taxes down the line, and saddle future generations with debt."

"It's irresponsible," Jindal said. "

CO2 as a pollutant? EPA to sally forth with decree

International Herald Tribune: "If the environmental agency determines that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant to be regulated under the Clean Air Act, it would set off one of the most extensive regulatory rule makings in history. Jackson knows that she would be stepping into a minefield of congressional and industry opposition and said that she was trying to devise a program that allayed these worries.

"We are poised to be specific on what we regulate and on what schedule," Jackson said. "We don't want people to spin that into a doomsday scenario.""

I'm sure the trees would disagree most vehemently. As will I.
There's an odd juxtaposition, tree huggers and the right wing of the nation joining hands.

I doubt it happens though, I think the environmental movement has sacrificed its soul upon the altar of political expediency and hyperbole for financial expediency.

Composition of the Earths Atmosphere:

• Nitrogen - 78.084%
• Oxygen - 20.95%
• Argon - 0.934%
• Carbon Dioxide - 0.036%

The concept of humans creating pollution with our very breaths is ludicrous, and yet, this is where we find ourselves. Seeing as government agency are merely political hack jobs of whomever is in office, this travesty of ecological and economic management will proceed.

Blackwater changes name to Xe

UPI - "The North Carolina security contractor Blackwater Worldwide has changed its name to Xe, a company memo says.

Company President Gary Jackson said in a memo that the company has been reorganizing for several months to "create unique brand identities for its products and services," The (Norfolk) Virginian-Pilot reported Sunday.

As part of its rebranding, the company is jettisoning the name Blackwater and its red-and-black bear-claw logo."

Makes sense. A company that has earned as much ill will in its home country should probably rebrand itself. Just didn't want this to pass without ya'll noticing.
A company called Xe will start showing up on the news soon enough, and now you can impress your posse with this knowledge.

California Burning

Or at least, the budget is.

Rueters: "California, which is on the brink of running out of cash, will notify 20,000 state workers on Tuesday their jobs may be eliminated...

The layoff notices will affect about 20 percent of state workers, McLear said, adding the cuts would extend to every part of state government.

The positions would be eliminated in June in preparation for California's next fiscal year, which starts in July.

California, America's most populous state and the world's eighth biggest economy, has experienced a dramatic fall in revenues because of the housing downturn, rising unemployment and a sharp pullback in consumer spending."

Who has been running this state for the last two decades? Far left democrats.

Great work, Captain Socialism.

Serious?

"The 1,071 page, 8-inch-thick measure"

It passed the house today.

Every Democrat, sans 7 with a modicum of intelligence voted for it.

Not a single republican voted yes. Well done GOP, well done.

Washington Stock Yards

The Washington DC Stockyards are full of swine.

The House, and Democrats of the Senate, for crafting legislation as non-kosher as an Oscar Mayer Wiener.

The Senate Republicans, for voting in a fowl manner and becoming chickens when the vote came. (I'm looking at you, Arlan Specter and the rest of your ilk.)

And for America? We're going to be chewing the cud on this bill for generations to come. Thank you Mr. Obama for your change and the consequences my generation and my kids are going to be paying for this.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Washington Times: "An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.
...
The lawsuit said he then called his wife and two Border Patrol agents arrived at the site. It also said Mr. Barnett acknowledged that he had turned over 12,000 illegal immigrants to the Border Patrol since 1998.
..."This is my land. I´m the victim here," Mr. Barnett said. "When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back.""

I hope this case looses. To bad it's in Arizona. If it had been in Texas, Mr. Barnett could have shot them all and been done with it.


Apologies for the sporadic posting (I'm in computer science lab right now), the laptop I ordered 3 weeks ago has yet to run through UPS systems. I do not recommend using CompuDirect for ordering anything. Ever.
