EPA Doesn’t Care About Costs?

EPA Says It’s ‘Prohibited’ From Considering Costs When Issuing Ai-Quality Regulations if this report is to be believed.

It figures; government never spends its own money, does it? And it continues to rob us of ours, already having borrowed and spent more than we will ever see repaid. And what have we to show for it?

It’s Only Science When Progressives Say It Is…

Profits of Doom is an article I wish I was smart enough to have written. Short, clever, factual and right on the distinction between science and political science these days…

Sarah Palin and the Media: Who’s Laughing Now?

Viva Mexico, Uno

Is “Government Healthcare” an Oxymoron?

How the Experts Are Wrecking Health Care shows in one simple little article exactly why: 1. We can’t afford our own medical insurance any more, and                 2. Government can’t affordMedicare/Medicaid.

The explanation also makes it obvious why the politicians have never corrected the problem and never will unless forced.

“Physician, heal thyself!” comes to mind…

Obama Ups Limos 74%: That’s a Stretch!

Number of Federal-Owned Limosines Has Soared Under Obama

Since Captain Preppie took over, the government’s limo fleet has grown by 74%, mostly in Hillary’s State Department. Obviously, Bush was too cheap to provide the necessary complement of secure luxury transport…

Here's Mother Nature, Our Newest Addition!

Congratulations! It’s a Girl!.

The United Nations has accepted the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Nature, giving her human status and legally defensible human rights. Environmental legislation is being pushed at the UN level which will supersede USA sovereignty. Read this fully sourced article and learn who the players are, who the winners are and who the losers are. Hint: just one more giant leap toward the American Union..

Dave’s Quote of the Day

A final point about a Palin bid: She has an awful lot of hurdles to overcome to reach the White House. Our April NBC/WSJ poll found her with a 25%-53% fav/unfav score, with just 9% viewing her VERY POSITIVELY (her lowest number here ever in the poll) and with 41% viewing her VERY NEGATIVELY (her highest number here). In addition, her fav/unfav among independents is 19%-54%, while it’s 48%-25% among Republicans, 63%-7% among Tea Party supporters, and 6%-83% among Democrats. In other words, she’s adored by conservatives, but not by anyone else. But check that last number on Republicans one more time: One in four REPUBLICANS have an unfavorable view of her. That’s not just a hurdle; it’s a potential roadblock.

Another Example of Obama’s “Transparent” Administration

DNC (air)head worried that Republicans want to criminalize crimes

This one has a head full of sailboat fuel.

I think the president was clearly articulating that his position — the Democrats position — is that we need comprehensive immigration reform. We have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy. And that is not only a reality but a necessity. And that it would be harmful if — the Republican solution that I’ve seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries, and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrest them all. I mean that was the legislation that Jim Sensenbrenner advanced a couple of years ago.

Spend vs. Don’t Explained…in Rap!

Keynes v. Hayek Rap Battle: Economics as entertainment, centered on today’s biggest, most important argument. Your retirement and your kid’s futre depend on this…

In lieu of a program to introduce the players:

Obama and his team are Keynesians; so are a lot of Republicans. Ron Paul, Paul Ryan and such lean toward Hayek. When you’ve heard the raps (there are two) you can decide for yourself. If you don’t like rap, just enjoy the content…

 

 

Sorry; We’re Out of the Drug You Need

Hospitals Hunt Substitutes As Drug Shortages Rise

In clinics and hospitals, shortages of especially, injectable drugs are increasing for all sorts of reasons. Like U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan die for all sorts of reasons.

In these cases, the reason is the same: government. Government put the soldiers in Afghanistan as policy and government regulates and price-protects drugs. It’s been understood that price controls produce shortages longer than we’ve had an alphabet to write about it.

But politicians need money and drug makers have it…thanks to the politicians.

Coerced Into Virtue

In my last post, I reviewed a short book edited by Robert Bork that describes the Supreme Court’s attack on the Constitution and the rule of law. Now I would like to expand the discussion and consider a much broader work by the same author: A Time to Speak: Selected Writings and Arguments (2008). Read the rest of this entry

Memorial Day 2011

Symbolic Logic Beyond Belief

Bad Horoscope

Apparently, the astrological symbols for Virgo and Capricorn resemble the Arabic for Allah and Muhammad. And someone was selling astrological toilet paper (a practical use, there) in Belgium and…well, the reader will have to pursue it from here; this writer has been rendered helpless!

 

More Oil in Texas (Unless Obama Can Prevent It)

Huge New Oildields Discovered in Texas

IF the enviros can’t come up with a way to outlaw “fracking” (they’re trying hard)  the rock-crushing oil and gas production trick used in shale, the U.S. could be in Saudi Arabia’s class. The Obamans want the stuff left in the ground of course, but it’s still a struggle. Unless you’re in the rub-two-sticks-together class making your own heat, you might want to let your legislators know there’s a demand out here in the real world and we want them to let it happen…

Americans don’t know rules of the road

So big chunks of our driving population–even including citizens–don’t know the rules we’re supposed to drive by. No surprise; Drivers’ Ed. is a standard high school course, right?

Something Fishy About Obama’s Power Policy?

Dams power down in the largest US dam removal

Obama supports the US economy like he supports Israel. He won’t drill for oil or build new clean-coal or nuke power; now he’s tearing out our clean, reliable hydro electric sources. Smart investors will be looking at makers of heavy coats and bicycles…

Dutch Government Bans Coffee Pot

Dutch government to ban tourists from cannabis shops

We Keep Bailing Instead of Fixing the Leak; Why?

Per the National Taxpayer’s Union “Government Bytes:”

AIG Continues to Cost Taxpayers Millions – This past February, AIG reported a $2.2 billion loss operating loss, and its revenue and first quarter profit have fallen significantly from a year ago. Will there be an end to the bleeding bailouts inflict on taxpayers?

Remember the Bush-to-Obama bailouts under TARP? Way back trillions of dollars ago? AIG was among the first of the BIG BUCKS BENEFICIARIES of your and your children and grandchildren’s largesse. And it’s still losing and still collecting from you. Yes, and from me, too. Just like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others.

Looks like we’d better learn to like it; neither party is changing any of it.

“When I’m Not Near the Girl I Love, I Love the Girl I’m Near!

Koch Industries and ExxonMobil Among Hundreds of PAC’s to Switch Party Allegiances After Election 2010

Some hibernating voters still believe that the Democrats serve the little guy and the Republicans serve Big Business. Others believe in the tooth fairy.

But the politicians in need of money (all of them) and the power-hungry folk that have or control that money know better. They aren’t helping a party; they’re buying influence…and they shop wherever it looks to be available. They’re absolutely loyal…to power, and to nothing else.

Florida Town Fines Woman for Too Many American Flags

The world is on fire. War is everywhere. Whole towns are disappearing into killer wind funnels across one third of our nation. The country is broke, the population divided. Terrorists want to tear down more buildings and domestic crime leaves blood on our sidewalks. We need our politicians to be working their butts off to guide our towns, cities, states and country through the minefields. Do liberals understand… continue reading..

What Would Herman Do?

For those among us who are searching for a candidate to back and have read resumes, curriculum vitae and the like of the various people out there, a huge red flag is Herman Cain’s involvement with the Federal Reserve Bank. Joseph Lawler of The American Spectator has written Herman Cain and the Fed that answers a lot of questions. Worth a read for the information and opinions of those who worked with him.

The United States is Broke: Stop Sending Billions to Pakistan & States Who Hate Us

The United States is Broke: Stop Sending Billions to Pakistan & States Who Hate Us.

If I send $500 to my sister and she turns around and robs my household, I don’t think I would send her any more money. Would you?

I have learned that common sense, honor, trust, and all ‘the old verities’ William Faulkner talked about can only be found in the individual, not the group. The only human characteristics that seem to ‘bubble’ up to the larger, group entity are the bad ones. Like greed & self preservation. But also, a kind of stupidity that lacks any common sense- the group has no instinct whatsoever.

The United States sends billions of dollars to states around the world that hate our guts. The individuals hate us and the body of government hates us. They laugh with glee as they pocket our money, use it for nuclear weapons to threaten India & us with, and humiliate us as.. continue reading..

A Country I Do Not Recognize

Hillary’s Gang Having Gay Old Time in Sofia

U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria Sponsoring Gay Film Festival

Wasn’t the Foriegn Service of the State Department about diplomacy between countries? I guess that’s a bit obsolete: now, its about selling homosexuality, at least just now.

Bulgaria is not exactly San Francisco; the few pleased intellectuals appreciative of this sort of thing are vastly outnumbered there by less pleased ordinary Bulgarians who won’t admire the U.S. for doing this. It’s a funny form of diplomacy. It does provide some hints of what things would be like if Hillary had become President though, doesn’t it?

Putting the Cost of Government On the Clock: 2011′s Tax Bite in an Eight-Hour Day

The Tax Foundation figured it out for us…we work over two hours every work day to pay our taxes before we start earning anything we can keep. And if you foolishly expect to repay our astronomical debt, you will join us in working right up past lunch time before we can keep any earnings…but it’s all right; the pols are using it to save us, right?

Death Panels Unlikely to Save Medicare Money

Medicare Paying for Health Care for the Dead!

Per the Inspector General’s report, just being dead doesn’t guarantee a savings to Medicare; there’s a reasonable chance the corpse will just keep collecting benefits. Or at least, its providers will. Yup, our compassionate politicians have Medicare paying for services to significant numbers of the deceased…perhaps Chicago voters?

Trans-gender Coaches for California 1st Grade Children?

Trans-gender Coaches for California 1st Grade Children?.

Fox News Channel has just reported that a CA elementary school will begin classes for grades K-4 that teach ‘gender diversity’. The supposed aim of this class is to help prevent bullying- specifically of those children who are homosexual or ‘tansgender’. Bullying of gays should fall under the general bullying rules: no bullying allowed for any reason. It does not need additional billing in the bully department. Parts of this class include statements such as, “It ok to paint your toenails if you are a boy,” “There is more than one way to be a girl…” continue reading.. 

A Speech for Paul Ryan (or Any Republican) for Medicare

A Speech for Paul Ryan (or Any Republican) for Medicare.

Paul Ryan & His Medicare Plan

- I am not a republican. I am an Independent. Why? Because the Republicans keep doing things that tick me off. Mostly, because they are such wusses. But I support them because I can’t support the Democratic Party. Last presidential election, I sat contorted in my chair, squirming and telepathically sending McCain the right things to say. But he never said them. Hell, he never put up a decent fight. As Obama delivered lie after lie, skewed fact after fact, McCain seemed to stand above it all. Like he was too much of a gentleman to fight in the dirt. Now, I can respect that- but not when we are losing our nation. It’s time to get down and dirty. Now, Paul Ryan & his plan are under rabid, lie filled, sarcastic and ugly attack. And what do the Republicans do? They scuttle, like so many rats, under the bed! Republican politicians, hear this: You will lose office and this Nation if you do not get a back bone! The people in this country are on your side- but you are blowing it! Where is our Republican candidate? Where is the Republican message? You need to pay for commercials and you need to get it together as a party. You cannot, I repeat, cannot make YOUR personal election your priority. You need to keep the House, get some Senate seats and get the Presidency. John Boehner, provide leadership to your party! Whip them into a cohesive unit! At the very least, the Republicans need to be GLIB! You have so much ammunition to kill the Dems on so many issues all Americans will rally behind! I’m not sure why you brought up Medicare right before election time, but since you have, you may NOT retreat or you will lose. You need to come out with your fists up. Take the bull by the horn! Since none of you seem capable of writing a speech or saying what needs to be said, I have done it for you.

Here is what the republicans (especially Paul Ryan) should be saying concerning Medicare… continue reading

Feds Want Your Kids From Birth Onward

NO, Dear; Newborns Go Into The GREEN Trashcan

NY Officials Want Schools To Teach About Unwantrd Baby Laws

Newborn dumping by young mothers is running 50/50 in New York; one of the last two survived an 8 floor dump down a public housing trash chute while the other lived a while after being found in hospital trash but died later.

That is clearly amateurish and the bureaucrats want schools to teach these screwy kids to do it better. You can see what’s coming: First, teach PREVENTION! Yes, prevention! Abortion will prevent this sort of thing and it doesn’t have any sloppy 50% survival rate.

Second, if you somehow come to term in spite of all our advice and for some reason, you don’t want to give birth in the ER lobby, be sure to go really, really FAR out into the woods where the indigenous critters will benefit from your leavings and you won’t contaminate city trash and/or newspaper headlines.

Take calcium pills,  take calcium pills, take calcium pills! That is all I hear from my husband, my doctor and all the scientists. I am a small, Asian woman- so take calcium pill, take calcium pills, take calcium pills. Have you ever seen those things? They’re HUGE! I gag every time, tears squeezing from my bulging eyes as the pill inevitably gets stuck in my throat. I wash it down with a huge glass of milk- cause, you know, it has CALCIUM!

CAGW Issues Spending Cut Alert: Dairy Subsidies

Through a series of Milk Marketing Orders, which are based historically on the milk producers’ distance from Eau Clare, Wisconsin, the government sets minimum prices that processors must pay for Grade A milk , and milk producers are forbidden to sell their product outside their designated region.

You overpay for sugar, fuels, and a bunch of other necessities too…your compassionate politicians helping you as always…

Your Choice: Democrat, Republicrat, Dummy or Demon

Dave’s Quote of the Day

“In response to skyrocketing gas prices, liberals say, practically in unison, ‘We can’t drill our way out of this crisis.”’ What does that mean? This is like telling a starving man, ‘You can’t eat your way out of being hungry!’ ‘You can’t water your way out of drought!’ ‘You can’t sleep your way out of tiredness!’ ‘You can’t drink yourself out of dehydration!’ Seriously, what does it mean? Finding more oil isn’t going to increase the supply of oil? It is the typical Democratic strategy to babble meaningless slogans, as if they have a plan. Their plan is: the permanent twilight of the human race.”

[Note: This is the screenplay for an episode of a new TV series, Michelle Knows Best. Join us for the zany adventures of Michelle, Barack, and the girls as the Obamas come rolling into town.

The premise is admittedly far-fetched, but just play along for a moment: Imagine what outrageous farce and knee-slapping comedy would result if one day a neo-Marxist community organizer from the Chicago political machine, of obscure national and religious background, along with his anti-American lawyer wife, woke up one morning and found himself in the White House!!

Supreme Court orders California to release tens of thousands of prison inmates.

A 5/4 split decision: 4 justices thought prison is supposed to punish criminals but 5 were more worried about their suffering from the state’s chronic overcrowding.  Perhaps this perennial split in how we look at dealing with crime explains why we have so many Departments of Corrections but not one single Department of Punishments…

Some 30 or 40 odd thousands of happy felons seem set to rejoin their market. If government statistics mean anything, the burglars will burgle, the car thieves will be on a roll and the drug workers will be back working. Murderers and rapists however, may be a safer bet.

Perhaps it’s time to consider extending the southern border fence onward around California?

Free Federal Help to Schools Ticks Off Union

Union Files Complaint Over Use of AmeriCorps Volunteers in Twin Rivers Schools

The teachers’ union hates help for schools unless it’s well-paid help provided by union members.  It’s probably evil to enjoy the fact that AmeriCorps is a Federal volunteer program that was the creation of the Clinton Administration to, among other things, help education. If you aren’t careful, you might be led to believe that teacher’s unions don’t always put student welfare first!

US Backs Egyptian Bond Issuance, Gives New $1 Billion “Sovreign Guarantee”

The first billion is up front, the rest later. This is from a guy who can’t afford what he already owes Social Security and Medicare…

But is that fair?  Let’s check.

Dave’s Quote of the Day

“I suspect that the media feeding frenzy Stanley describes has less to do with an impulse to lampoon the ridiculous than an impulse to ridicule Christianity in general. Despite Camping and his followers being an extremely small fringe group, the media has covered this story as if the entire Southern Baptist church made this prediction. . . . It’s not out of bounds to chuckle over the gullibility of those who rely on false prophets, but it’s worth considering who and what benefits from this avalanche of coverage of an obscure, already-discredited crank.”

Why Evolution Makes No Sense Today- Article 1

Why God, Creation of Life & Evolution Are So Often Linked (By BOTH sides!)

This is the first promised article in a series classified under “Why Evolution Makes No Sense Today” . This article specifically deals with how unscientifically the so-called Western, White scientists treat the notion of God, creation, and evolution. It brings to light not only their limited knowledge base, their repeated failures of history and their hypocritical methodology, but also their arrogance & insecurity. It debunks the idea that we need to discuss creation on their terms: the scientific jargon wars. It shows how they have assumed the mantle of ‘Truth-Finders’ based on their own rules, and desires. It sheds a harsh light on the very unscientific MOTIVES, methods and mindset of atheist scientists today. Read on..
