This morning weekly unemployment claims rose to the 470,000 level. Oil is breaking down. Gold is breaking down. Worldwide markets are breaking down. The euro continues it's slide. The world is rushing into the "safety" of US bonds. There is no safe haven. US treasuries are not safe.
And teleprompter Jesus has no answer. His answer, grow government, is the wrong one. You can't turn the US into a welfare nanny state, mired in debt, and call that an answer. You simply can't make everyone a government worker, producing nothing, and think that is going to make the economy fine.
The time to blame Bush is over Obama. You own the "great" spendulus package which was your answer. It hasn't done anything.
Pay attention to what they do, not to what they say. What has Obama done? He runs his mouth and tries time honored traditions that have always failed.
I don't fault the people who voted for Obama. They were deceived. Pure and simple. All that remains at this point is for them to recognize it. Obama represents one of those college kids that gets indoctrinated with everything left. Most of us grow out of that. He didn't.
There is only one solution, Obama. Slash and burn government. Get rid of it. Reduce taxes. Government exists for the safety, perhaps health, and order of it's citizens. That's it. That does not include buying banks and car companies, offering student loans, or bailing out insurance companies. Or whining and blaming everyone in the country. But you see doing the right thing takes great courage and vision...
and in that department, Obama+Courage= Epic Fail.

The Fate of All Mankind Is In the Hands of Fools
Dave Barry once said, "Anytime there is a crisis, there is often one individual who will jump up and say, follow me- I know the solution. Quite often that person is insane."

Happiness Comes With Age, Study Reveals

Life looks a little rosier after 50, a new study finds. Older people in their mid- to late-50s are generally happier, and experience less stress and worry than young adults in their 20s, the researchers say.
The results, based on a Gallup phone survey from 2008 of more than 340,000 Americans, held even after the researchers accounted for factors that could have contributed to differences in well-being with age, such as whether the participants were married, had children at home or were employed.
So if having a partner and getting rid of the kids aren't responsible for the uptick in happiness and general life satisfaction with age, then what is? More studies will be needed to find out, the researchers say.
"That can be based on social things, on societal things, on biological things; and for us that is the big question," study researcher Arthur Stone, a psychologist at Stony Brook University in N.Y.
Two ways to look at life
The findings agree with previous work showing well-being varies with age. And some studies have narrowed things down to suggest that happiness comes with being old, male and Republican.
---Newsflash---
Believing in God, not killing the unborn, and believing that all men are entitled to keep the product of their work without redistributing it to lazy socialists creates less stress? Hating, labeling, and fearing freedom doesn't create bliss? Go figure.

It's Official, Obama Is Not the Anti Christ
About a year ago, a neo conservative friend of mine called and asked if President Obama could be the anti Christ. Although Obama clearly has many of the qualities and characteristics that one looks for in a good anti-Christ, I was not sure. After watching Dear Leader this year, I feel confident in saying that Obama is not the anti-Christ.
I know, I know, some of you righties want to cling to hope. Perhaps you are questioning my credentials for determining anti- Christs. But I've watched this dude closely last year, which you can do when you are unemployed. Trust me. I am using solid logic.
One other thing. Just because I have determined that Obama isn't the anti-Christ doesn't mean that you non religious types can breathe a sigh of relief. You still have work to do.
The anti-Christ is thought to be a gifted orator. Now at first blush, many of you may think that great oratory qualifies Obama. It doesn't. In fact, what has been spilling out of Obama's mouth lately is precisely what has led me to conclude that he isn't the "big baddy." Nor is he the great genius the lefties think he is. In fact, I'd give this dude a slightly above average score on the big bell curve. Nothing special. Even aided by teleprompters. I could prove my suspicions if we could ever find those missing college transcripts.
The real anti Christ is thought to be a gifted orator- willing and able to persuade everyone. As Obama attacks and blames Bush, attacks and blames Fox news, attacks big banks, attacks auto makers, attacks health insurers, and attacks and blames big oil for a once in a lifetime spill, attacks and blames Arizona for doing the job his government won't, attacks his own constituency and adds glib, snide, and caustic comments- he is guaranteeing and sealing his fate. But not as the historic third anti- Christ. Before it's over, this guy might be able to unite this country but not because he is sneaky smart. We won't unite because of him, we will unite despite him. Obama is not the slick talking orator that will bring about the end times. To do that would take a lot more skill, tact, and savvy than this dude possesses.
There it is. Prima facia evidence Obama isn't the anti-Christ. He ain't even close.

Ain't This the Truth
Once in awhile you see something so true, it's hard to ignore. I can apply the following rules to just about every libtard I know. Including family.
If you are a lefty, here...read about yourself. And know in advance, this is exactly how we perceive you.
If you are a lefty, here...read about yourself. And know in advance, this is exactly how we perceive you.
O/T but thought it was good:
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
(Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

The Debt Titanic
It's all coming together nicely now. The elite have managed- with the help of government, to steal us 95% ers blind.
Need a villain? Want a Democrat villain? A Republican villain?
No you see, it's all much simpler than that. We are on the debt Titanic. The ship has already struck the iceberg.
We are currently 13 trillion in debt. We have another 60 trillion in Medicare, prescriptions, and Social Security now coming due. Tax revenue has come in 17% below projections for this year. And while all that good news was coming to fruition, Obamacare has added another couple of trillion in tax hikes and ultimately debt as health care providers raid this new cookie jar.
Here's a little eyepopper. Not completely off topic, but illustrates just how bad it is. Pay attention to the cost and the very last line.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100507/ts_nm/us_food_usa_stamps
It is UNFUCKING sustainable. No amount of GDP growth can repair the hull. It doesn't matter whether FDR, or George Bush, or Darth Vader is responsible. Those arguments are passe'.
We have a tremendous problem. I have a solution. In fact, it was always the best solution.
The solution was and is- Social Security and Medicare buyouts. Look, nobody with half a brain can rely on Medicare or Social Security in 20 years. We are running in the red, THIS YEAR, never mind the bulk of recipients in coming years. With 20% of the population unemployed, just who do you think is paying in right now? To sustain the existing system means taking on even more debt and that ain't even a remote possibility. Hyperinflation, the kind you have never seen, will take center stage.
For me, Social Security or Medicare is a mirage. It exists in kind of a wispy, foggy shroud about to be blown away forever. So what happened to that 200 grand paid in by my employers and I? Gone, long gone.
So here's the big finish. Taxpayers, you got hosed. Politicians screwed you once again. Now it's time for the politicians to exercise real courage. Admit the system is broken, dismantle it, and offer buyouts to people, perhaps 25% of all money paid in on an age/actuarial sliding scale, to the people who aren't going to get anything anyway. This money can be used for purchasing health plans, stimulus, and help eliminate the national debt at the same time. In fact, I could make a pretty sound argument that this is what should have been done with the 1.5 trillion bank and jobs stimulus rather than delivering all of our money to the elite. Enriching their already rich lives, while screwing the people who had nothing to do with their gambling habit. We accomplished nothing.
All that remains on the debt Titanic is to see who has 11th hour courage, if any. Will the steerage class go down with this ship? Probably. The cowardly politicians and the elite will find a nice life raft for themselves. They always do.
Maybe it's time for the steerage class to throw those bastards into the drink. I have always loved happy endings.

Granny Hates Free Speech, Whacks Grand Daughter, Goes To Jail
Perfect.
Today, I was viewing a clip of a grandmother who slapped her 18 year old granddaughter for using the word "fuck." I can say that word because this is my blog, you can't hit me, and even if you did-I would then beat the shit out of you anyway.
Free speech. I take a "no holds barred" approach. Why?
In order to be offended by speech any speech- requires a couple of faulty belief systems. The first faulty belief is that you believe yourself to be a victim anytime somebody uses language that you object to. The second faulty belief is that you then take that personally. And the third faulty belief is that somebody else's speech entitles you to hit them.
We have a victim society. We claim victim status over anything. And this granny is no exception- and in fact, she said during the interview and despite her jailing- she would do the same thing all over again.
The answer for granny is simple. Acceptance. People use profanity and no amount of you whacking people- is going to change that. In fact, whacking someone virtually ensures more of the same conduct. Were there other sanctions available to granny? Sure. Kick granddaughter out of your house, call your daughter to come get her, quit giving her cookies. Those are all legal remedies. But the one remedy that causes no ill will, is to simply let her use profanity. Acceptance. Not a big deal.
So I am glad the cops threw granny in jail. She still hasn't figured out that she is the problem. Not a huge stretch of the imagination- to use a time honored cliche'- that the acorn never falls far from the tree.
