Nice Spin

Via Roto-Reuters:

Payrolls fall less in July, jobless rates eases

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers cut 247,000 jobs in July, far less than expected and the least in any month since last August, according to data on Friday that provided the clearest evidence yet that the economy was turning around.
[...]

So what you're actually saying is unemployment is still rising.

Nice. 247,000 more unemployed people is still 247,000 more unemployed people.

Stupid Shit

Can someone explain to me exactly what the fuck the "Cash For Clunkers" is good for, other than protecting the government's investment in the "Big 3"?

Sure, some cars turned in for this asshole program are worth turning in. However, another very large sized portion turned in are 'clunkers' I wouldn't mind having my damn self. Some of them are some good vehicles. And a 1 to 5 m.p.g. increase in fuel economy definitely ain't no trade-up. Give me a fucking break.

So you have some poor schmuck who's been driving a knocked out, smokey piece of shit with one headlight, spider-webbed windshield, bald tires and three bad gaskets for years because he can't afford to buy anything else. But instead of this poor schmuck getting a possible deal on a decent used car, traded-in 'clunkers' are destroyed, and the only people who benefit from this deal are people who can already afford new cars.

Doesn't make a fucking bit of sense to me, but then it's just another in the long list of non-sensible government deals floating around since January '09.




Yes, I know. It's a bit political, but fuck it. I'll do as I please since I'm the one paying the bill for this thing.

Why You Wanna Keep A Brotha Down

Obama 'stupidly' comment disappoints Mass. cop
[...]
Sgt. James Crowley responded to Gates' home near Harvard University last week to investigate a report of a burglary and demanded Gates show him identification. Police say Gates at first refused and accused the officer of racism.
[...]

"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry," Obama said. "Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact." - Obamm-bamm.
[...]

This isn't a political post by any stretch. But the fucking president of the United States getting involved in a local police issue? Come the fuck on.
Evidently this asshole who got busted was all too ready to pull strings since he's supposedly a friend of the prez. What a prick.

But the prez being judgmental and playing a race card when he wasn't even there is just ignorance. His teleprompter must have been turned off at the time or he may have chosen more appropriate wording.

See, in the second paragraph, the prez said "...there was already proof that they were in their own home...". But the first paragraph said "Gates at first refused [to show identification] and accused the officer of racism."
The fucking idiot will never get his shit together.

Speaking Of Teevee Shit

I just remembered. Today is the day of the big Analog->Digital teevee switch.

WOOHOO!!!! I won't have to listen to those stupid fucking commercials any more about how my teevee will go all fuzzy if I don't have a box!!!

It would have fucking been done months ago if the fuckhead in the White House and his minions wouldn't have delayed it. And I was holding my breath thinking the asshole would do it again, but PRAISE ALLAH!!! IT'S OVER!!!

Only Tax The Rich

I already posted this over here, but it's too important to NOT post it here too. America needs to wake the fuck up before every cent of our paycheck goes to the socialist wannabes in Washington:

Once Considered Unthinkable, U.S. Sales Tax Gets Fresh Look

With budget deficits soaring and President Obama pushing a trillion-dollar-plus expansion of health coverage, some Washington policymakers are taking a fresh look at a money-making idea long considered politically taboo: a national sales tax.

Common around the world, including in Europe, such a tax -- called a value-added tax, or VAT -- has not been seriously considered in the United States. But advocates say few other options can generate the kind of money the nation will need to avert fiscal calamity.
[...]

You folks who voted for this fucker didn't think YOU were one of "the rich", did you!

What I'm trying to say here is that if this shit passes, everything you buy will now have a federal sales tax tacked on to it along with any state sales tax you may or may not already pay.
So everybody is going to be paying more taxes. Not just those who make $________.00 or more per year. Every-fucking-body.

Score one For The Good Guys And The Constitution!

WOOHOO!!!

Citizens can challenge state, local gun laws

(04-20) 19:10 PDT San Francisco -- A federal appeals court ruled Monday that private citizens can challenge state and local gun laws by invoking the constitutional right to bear arms - the first such ruling in the nation - but upheld a ban on firearms at gun shows at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
[...]

The decision by the way, was 3-0.

While a few sections of the Bill of Rights apply only to the federal government, amendments that protect fundamental rights - including the Second Amendment - can be enforced against the states, said Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain in the 3-0 decision.

"The right to bear arms is deeply rooted in the history and tradition of the republic," O'Scannlain said, citing selected passages from speeches and writings during the colonial and post-Revolutionary War period and the years leading up to the Civil War. "It is a means to protect the public from tyranny" as well as "to protect the individual from threats to life or limb."

Judge Ronald Gould, in a separate opinion, pictured a gun-wielding citizenry defending 21st century America against invaders or terrorists.

"That we have a lawfully armed populace adds a measure of security for all of us and makes it less likely that a band of terrorists could make headway in an attack on any community before more professional forces arrived," he said.

Hard to fathom that there are actually 3 intelligent people in San Fran, but I'm sure as hell glad there are.

Just A Reminder

I moved this post back up here to remind you all that me and Mark are posting political shit over at Obama's An Idiot . Be sure and check it out, and ddon't forget to add it to the 'roll.

Okay, that's it. No more constant political shit on this blog.
Yes, I may post something political now and then that the world needs to know about, but from here on out, everything is going to a new/old home:
Obama's An Idiot

This used to be my "Hillary Is An Idiot" blog. And don't get me wrong, Hitlary still is an idiot. But since she's been reigned in as a contender - at least for now, she isn't as dangerous as the president is. So I'll concentrate on him instead.

I'll post boring old personal stuff here. No, I won't let fags, wetbacks, idiots or other irritants get by without having my say, but I will limit comments about the Idiot-in-chief.




You're welcome.

How?

Obama sets Qaeda defeat as top goal in Afghanistan
38 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama unveiled a new war strategy for Afghanistan on Friday with one goal -- to wipe out al Qaeda militants there and in neighboring Pakistan who he said were plotting new attacks on the United States.
[...]

With all the troops home, he is going to accomplish this, how?

The Voice of Hopey McChange's Teleprompter

I stumbled upon a new blog today. It is ruminations from the perspective of the teleprompter, of the asshole in office. Do yourself a favor and take a look.

Here's an entry from today:

A Little Less In Your Stocking

Yesterday, Big O appointed perhaps the greatest tax-policy review panel in the history of tax-policy review panels.

Publicly, we're saying this is OMB chief Pete Orszag's idea, but everyone here knows that it was the Big Guy's brainstorm, because Big Guy's hobby is tax policy.

The plan is for this panel to come up with a plan to "rebalance" the U.S. tax system, and to end "corporate welfare" as we know it. By "rebalance" we mean "raise taxes," and by "end corporate welfare" we mean "create new taxes."

The plan is due on Big Guy's desk by December 4, a nice early Christmas present for America.

Good gawd-a-mighty. Someone has an imagination.

And with that, I leave you this:

The Obama dildo

Go Figger

U.S. Seeks Expanded Power in Seizing Firms
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and the Federal Reserve, still smarting from the political furor over the bailout of American International Group, began a full-court press on Tuesday to expand the federal government’s power to seize control of troubled financial institutions deemed too big to fail.
[...]

Even though I'm too lazy to link to it, trust me when I say that I mentioned this scenario oh, a month or so ago.

This is only the beginning of the Socialist Sates of America. The only way it will change is if 'We, the people' change it.
But then, there are too many people comfortable licking the hand that feeds them. Obviously, or that fucking assh'O'le would never have gotten elected.
