China Has Enough Yeti Sightings

Why are we spending millions- with an m- to send Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her free loading mother to China?  Do they possess some here to for unknown power?  Will they be there for anything that could possible benefit out nation?  My guess is no.
I have never really understood the msm and their ability to turn the blind eye toward whatever the Obamas are up to in a given week.  Why are we sending his wife to China is the first question that I have.  Is there anything that she can do that will be useful to the cause of the United States of America?  I mean, if they have worked out a plan that will actually keep her freeloading butt over there, then I am all for it. Otherwise.....
Can you imagine the outcry if President Bush had had his Mother-in-law on the tab the entire time he was living in the Whitehouse?  The msm would have had a running tally on every single nickel that it would have cost, I guarantee it.  So instead, we have not a peep form them, not a whisper, not one sound.
Why is she living there? Who is paying for it, besides us foolish taxpayers?  Was she living with them before he stole into the oval office?  Or did she see an excellent opportunity to live it up once her "son-in-law" was at a better address?
I did a little math and here are the numbers that I came up with:

29 hours to China (roundtrip from DC to Bejing) = $174,000 x 2 for security detail
security detail to guard them                                = $2,635,000
lodging                                                                = $3,685,000
meals                                                                  =  $17,342,000
_________________________________________________________________________________

                                                                               $ 24,010,000

my estimations are using what the average number of security detail would be, the average cost of a regular meal ( and we all know the yeti only wants reduced calories when it is our children being fed ) and regular rooms for everyone.
Why in the world are we spending 24 million dollars to give those freeloading Obamas another wonderful vacation?
If there was one valid reason for this trip-other than hey Barrack- why don't we go to China on the taxpayer dime?- I could understand the need for this.  But all we have is a greedy pack of moochers who are determined to siphon every freebie possible in the next two years.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Planned Parenthood Killed my Girl Scout Cookies

I love those coconut caramel cookies that Girl Scouts sell.  In a normal year, I would buy a case and stock up my freezer.  This is not a normal year,  The powers that be have decided to affiliate Girl Scouts with the number one abortion provider in the United States.  Man o man, am I going to miss those cookies.  Not enough to abide the abortionists, but if you have a recipe, feel free to send it to me.  What exactly are they trying to teach young girls anyway?  That if you get pregnant it's not a worry, just suction that baby out of your womb?

There was a time when the Boy Scouts said that their values were not for sale.  I guess the homosexuals raised their offer.  Luckily, there is a new group-Trail Life- who teaches the values that I want my sons to have. There are no homosexuals teaching these impressionable children.  I don't worry when my sons are at a meeting.

Now we have the Girl Scouts trying to shape young minds into vibrant cogs in the liberal machine.  Never mind the idea of teaching young girls to be moral, God fearing good citizens.  Nope.  It's more important to teach that that a pregnancy is only an inconvenience, a trifle to be disposed of at will.
Who are these people?  What in the world is wrong with them?  Have they absolutely lost their idea of right and wrong?
As much as I like,  love, adore those cookies- it is not worth it to know that my purchase enabled a little girl to have access to sponsors like planned parenthood.
That organization was founded by Margaret Sanger.  Her plan was to make abortions more readily available to minorities.  She didn't like black people, and her thought was that if blacks were encouraged to abort their children for a host of reasons, then there would be less black people.  Boy, was she right.  Not too long ago, more black babies were aborted in New York City than were born. How sad.
Why is it that so many cherished organizations are under attack these days?  Is common decency dead?  Who thinks that have the biggest abortion provider in the country be a sponsor for young girls is a good idea?  We are on such a slippery slope, that sometimes I am scared to death for my children and their children some day.  I hate to think of what the world we are leaving them might be like.
In a way, I am angry.  So many things that I used to enjoy are being corrupted by immorality.  Sam Addams makes an awesome beer.  For off the shelf, non micro brewery, it is outstanding.  But they chose to support a group of homosexuals who wanted to ruin a Saint Patrick's day parade, and bingo! I am now a micro brewer beer enthusiast. Pity.
So with regret I have turned away every fresh faced sales pitch.  I love those cookies.  But every baby deserves a chance to be born.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.

The IRS is Still Obama's Bag Man

Apparently you have to be able to hold that arrogant pose if you're going to work in this administration.  Whenever I see this pose, I just want to break out a cast iron skillet.  On the left we have the person who ran the latest Obama debacle, or the solyndra of health care.  She had billions with a b and all of the resources of the free world, to make up a health care system and she has successfully helped sign up almost six million people.*
 To put that in perspective, we have over 250 million people in our country.  Now, .41 % of them have insurance through this socialistic debacle known as obamacare.  Isn't it funny that when it was going to be all sunshine and roses, they loved  calling it obamacare.  Now, it is almost always called ACA by those wishing to distance themselves from the hot mess that it is.

In the middle, the man who needs no introduction, he is single handedly responsible for racking up more debt in 6 years than our entire history before him.  And what do we have to show for it?  Record fuel prices.  Record food prices.  Inflation. Everywhere you look, Carter is looking less God awful.

Finally, on the right, we have a woman who targeted the Tea Party groups who were looking for tax exempt status to organize their groups.  Of course.

The last time she was in front of Congress she pleaded the fifth (the right not to testify and incriminate yourself) and then testified.  I look forward to her next hearing.  I will be curious to see if the Congressmen and women allow her to get away with it.  My money says no.  Especially now that it has come to light that the majority of what she has disseminated to the public has been a big fat lie.  

Didn't Nixon get impeached for something like this? Why, I believe he did.  I also believe that the leadership gavel will come out of Harry Reid's antique, dusty fist this November.  Hopefully, we won't have to listen to anymore of his whispering slanderous ( but safe from prosecution while on the senate floor) speeches after that.  With any luck, he will retire in a huff.

The Internal Revenue Service abuse was one of the more serious charges against Nixon.  He could have probably skated around the others, but using an office of the government as an attack dog is just wrong.  He went out in disgrace, and rightly so.

There have been opinions that B.O. won't be impeached because he is the first black person in the oval office.  If that were true, it would sadden me.  Mostly, because it would mean we have capitulated to political correctness, and given up on freedom.

Think about it, you'll thank me later.

* the latest numbers that are reliable now put sign ups at five million, and people who have paid a premium puts it less than that.

MSM Kneecapping the Potentials or When Did They Start Caring About a Politician's Background?

I think you have to be very masochistic to want to run for public office these days.  Not only are you running on the ideas that you have for the future, (unless you are Obama-then just run because you look black) but you are also running with every dumb thing you have ever said, and every dumb thing you have ever done.  Can you imagine what it would be like to run for office knowing every keg stand, every drunken text, every stupid, spur of the moment thing you ever did was out there waiting to bite you on the butt?
 Unless you are the current guy, the media goes after you like pitbulls after beef steak.  For example- Chris Christie- who doesn't have a pig's chance at a lou auh of getting my vote, is being decimated by the same adoring media types who praised his no nonsense attitude and heaped accolades on him for helping B.O. to look less incompetent.  Now, they believe he is guilty of the most heinous of crimes-traffic jams on purpose.  Oh the humanity.
Governor Palin was ripped to shreds by the media types who would ordinarily fall at her feet because she has a vagina.  I guess the (R) beside her name cancelled out her hoo hah.  Plus, horror of horrors- she has a special needs child and she didn't abort him.  Not to mention she has a daughter who got pregnant while not being married.  Kind of ironic to listen to hollywood types try to make it sound like she was horrible while still holding Angelina Jolie up as a role model, isn't it?  I'm pretty sure that the idiot she had unprotected sex with wasn't married at the time. Ahem.
But back to the background checks on every living moment a conservative candidate has until he is elected.  I don't care if Christie told people to cause traffic jams or if he didn't.  I don't care if he made and delivered a nasty email to someone that hurt their feelings.  I do care that he had the opportunity to send a conservative to the senate and he wussed out on it.  He is a Republican in name only, in spite of what Ann Coulter says.
Ted Cruz has blue eyes. Harry Reid actually questioned  his ethnicity because of them.  Can you imagine if a conservative had said that Obama didn't really look black enough?  O my Goodness!  The gods of political correctness would have swooped down and carried that person away.  They would have been linked to the Klan faster than you can say-those Obama's sure have some ugly kids.
Do you remember when Governor Romney said that Russia would invade the Ukraine?  B.O.'s look of derision was priceless.  The media jumped into the fray and made it seem as though Romney were just an out of touch rich guy, which, coincidentally, was the theme they were pushing about him.  Now, who is the idiot?  Oh wait, the 109% that voted for Obama, right?
Rand Paul is another bright man that is giving the media fits.  He alone caused the government shutdown (according to them) because he just didn't want the people to get the wonderful, generous, fabulous benefits of obamacare also known as the law of the land.
Well now that obamacare has turned out to be the very turd sandwich that conservatives had been warning about, who is to blame?  It looks like Sebellius is going to be the latest chick thrown under the bus by team Obama.  Who saw that coming?  Will there be an apology from the media types who were not just wrong, but stupidly wrong?  Don't hold your breath.
Who ever the next president is, they will have their work cut out for them.  Barrak Hussein Obama has completely cartered the country.  It will take someone the likes of President Reagan to undo the damage.  And he or she will have to do it without the adoring eyes of the media helping him or her every step of the way.
  I am tired of the media trying to be the third man.  Just report the facts.  All of the facts, not the ones that tell the story you want told, please.
Question your media sources.  You'll thank me later.

When Did We Start Naming Every Storm we Get?

I am writing this post in February.  I have survived through November, December, and January.  It hasn't been pretty.  First there was cold.  Then there was bitter cold, and now we have the ice and the snow.  My God, the snow.
I hate where I live and I am not crazy about a lot of these people- I know the cold makes them crazy.  But whenever I have to watch the Weather Channel or as I have come to think of it- All Global Warming, All the Time!-I am forced to listen to incredibly attractive people explain what Magnum, or Ivan or something or other is doing.
Are we so starved for things to hold our attention that we need to name every single one of these storms? Really?  Where I am, they still discuss the blizzard of '78 with reverent tones.  It doesn't have a name- it has a condition-blizzard- and a year-1978.  Most folks with a functioning I Q understand the storm in question.
Is it a rating things?  Will Goodyear and other products begin lining up to sponsor this mess?
If it is snowing, the accumulation is edging past five inches and the wind is blowing, do we really need a name for this?? Won't hey remember that crappy year it wouldn't stop snowing be enough to ring a bell?
I understand, the Weather Channel has to remain relevant.   The novelty of having a go to channel to always get the weather report is gone.  Of course, that might have something to do with always getting the latest update on the drought in Singapore- when all I want to do is figure out if I need to grab an umbrella on the way to work.
How about if we make things easy?  Instead of  'honoring' every relative by naming a storm after them- how about we name storms like this: Month, Year.  If there is more than one storm in a month, we toss in the week.  It's just crazy enough to work.  Of course-if they follow my advice- we'll never have winter storm Tiffany or better yet winter storm Shaniqua.  Both of which would make me giggle.
I wish that we could take a step back and get over ourselves.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Subway and the Yeti-or why I Won't Be Eating at Subway Anytime Soon

Michelle Obama knows better than I do what my children should eat in their lunch.  Just ask her.  Of course, she doesn't know how to keep a law license, but that's a story for another blog.
Subway makes a decent sandwich. For five dollars, you can be full for a few hours, or at least you could.  Mrs. Soetoro-Obama has decided that she knows better than I do what I should be eating and what I should be feeding my children.  Bless her heart.   Maybe she got that information while she was vacationing for three weeks in Hawaii over Christmas.
Maybe she got that information while she was looking at the garden she put in the White House yard.  The garden she claims cost about $180 to install.  The garden that is tended by government workers who are making $25 an hour if they are making a nickel.  The same government that pays $650 for a hammer is telling me that they bought a rototiller, organic seeds, organic dirt, organic fertilizer, and the staff of two for $180.  That photo op, propaganda piece, ruined piece of White House lawn must have easily cost a lot more. Some quick research: organic seeds for this photo op would have cost about $270 dollars for ten different types of seeds most common to a garden. A rototiller at Target (where she loves to be "caught" shopping-just like folks) is going to set us back $180.00  The labor to install this garden, including the photographer to catch this wholesome slice of Americana is at the very least 42K per year. That is using the website from the "most transparent administration ever" not counting Benghazi, Solyndra, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, or why exactly there was no extra security in Benghazi after the request, or the Members of the Muslim Brotherhood, etc. etc.
When I figured out the very least the labor cost, it was $1350 dollars.  So by my math, we are up to  $1800.   As anyone who has ever really put in a garden knows, just putting the garden in is only the start of the labor.  Figure that labor cost to be closer to 13,500, because if she had ever stepped another foot near her photo op, it would have been all over the news channels.
So unless she pulled out some miracle beans from this garden- every tomato that came out of there cost us about $73.00 each.
If Subway needed the money from the government teat that badly, maybe they should have stuck with those $5 sandwiches.  That was doing pretty well for them.  So was showing all of the people who had lost weight with their food.  But goose stepping with the yeti?  I'm going to miss that asiago bread, but I guess I'll live.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Chris Christie, Not the Brightest Crayon in the Box

Chris Christie lost my enthusiasm when he put his corpulent arm around B.O. and made him look like he had a plan after the hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey.  Of course, it turned out that the plan was to get billions of dollars for New Jersey and make certain that his re election was a bonafide blow out, instead of the garden variety whoopin' that his ego craved.
There are theories as to why he gave the photo op equivalent of a hummer to B.O.  One theory is that he sold himself like an over priced (maybe by the pound?) hooker to get all of that federal assistance for New Jersey, thus ensuring the blowout election he wanted.
My thought is that he didn't want Romney to win, setting up Paul Ryan to come in behind him ( the man I wanted to be President) and put his aspirations 16 years down the road.  That is the theory that I like, especially when you consider the bloviator known as Christie.
So now we have the one time darling of the main stream media being torn to shreds by the very folks who used to adore him.  The emails, innuendo, and outright msu (making stuff up) cannot come fast enough for them.  The plan seems to be death from a thousand cuts.  All of this is very reminiscent of Romney last time around.
The msm told me that he was the only one that could win.  He was the most electable.  And as soon as the primaries were finally over, they fell on him like a pack of dogs.  Ann Romney was fodder for having a horse.  His children were vulnerable as well, and every day brought another negative story.
I hope that Christie was paying attention.  The media doesn't like him.  Not if he might in someway endanger the one.
Speaking of the one- how about if one of those "investigative" journalists did their job and looked into the IRS targeting conservative groups?  It was the deciding factor in the last election.  That and 108% turnout in many democratic voting polls.  But if they were to take a good hard look at it, they might trip on a story.
Or if that doesn't interest them, they could take a good look at Benghazi and where exactly Obama was when it was happening.  I'm not a big conspiracy fan, but it sure is curious that no one has given me good solid answers on where B.O. was when four of our people were being killed or sodomized and drug to death through the streets of Benghazi.
I want some answers, but the only way it looks like I will getting them is for the United States Senate to replace Harry Reid with a living, breathing, American who wants to get things done and some questions answered.  His nuclear option will be biting both cheeks in 2015, no doubt.
B.O. was supposed to be the smartest guy in the room.  Ask yourself. what room. and what kind of idiots do they have in there?  You'll thank me later.

Hillary Clinton Isn't Fit to Scrape Up Poop From the Highway

Have you noticed the effort by many to attempt to rehabilitate Hillary Clinton's image so that she can be elected in 2016?  I believe it is one of the many reasons that she is no longer the honorary Secretary of State.  She sucked at that gig.  Tell me one positive thing that she accomplished, other than quitting in 2012.
The only thing that Mrs. Clinton did was allow four men who were serving their country to die.  Mrs. Clinton took her ugly birth control glasses off (not that she needs ugly glasses to keep sober men away) and threw a hissy fit at the idea of being held accountable for not doing her job.
Do you remember this commercial?   http://youtu.be/7yr7odFUARg  
Turns out the answer was none of the above, doesn't it? Mrs. Clinton has yet to really explain where she was or what she was doing while four brave men were being murdered.  At this point, what difference does it make? Those words are the eulogy to her political career.
Of course, if the msm could stop giving Obama oral gratuities for a moment and ask a real question, they might accidentally do their job.  It was all that one of them could do to ask Jay Carney who paid for the yeti's third week of Hawaiian vacation.  A flight to Hawaii isn't cheap, and when you total in the extra expense of security, private flight, much less the lodging (even though they were staying at Oprah's) it had to have cost us, the taxpayer, well over a million extra dollars for that disgusting excuse to sit on her butt for an extra week.  It seems the least that he can do is pay for it out of his own pocket. The. very. least.
But back to Hillary Rodham Clinton's shortcomings.  Her entire early political career consists of being removed from the team that was investigating President for what was euphemistically called 'unethical'  behavior.  Her private practice consisted of making an awful lot of money on a land deal that surely does smell like laundering money to her husband, the Governor at the time.
She ran for President on the pathetic credentials of being First "Lady".  She tool the cabinet post as a deal to get her in the Oval Office if it was left after B.O.
The msm practically salivates at the thought of her running.  Four murdered men in Benghazi would beg to differ.  Think about it before 2016.  You'll thank me later.

How's that Inflation Treating You?

Did you know that if they used the formula in place before slick willie took over, unemployment would be about 35% right now? That's right- one in three people are not working or not working as much as they need to be to pay their bills. One.In. Three.
Tell me again how great it is, Jay Carney.
A gallon of gasoline is  $3.76 today.  Back in the good old days, President Bush's policies had gasoline sitting at $1.84. That was when B.O. took over.  Before Ms. Pelosi began screwing things up, it was under one dollar. One Dollar.  The economy was booming. Unemployment was sitting at 5%.  If you wanted a job, you had a job.
Have you gotten a home equity loan to buy beef lately?  Pork and chicken are getting pricier every day, and milk?  I drink almond milk, but I keep an eye on the cost of cow milk, and it is only going up.  If you drink organic milk to keep your children from being exposed to the growth hormones they feed those poor cows- and keep them from entering puberty when they are six- then you are looking at six bucks a gallon.  Whoever is deciding these policies is doing a crappy job.
Then, I read the report that tells me when I discount food and fuel that inflation is only 1.2%  Yep, all I have to do is stop eating and start living like a pilgrim and I have zero inflation. Hot damn.  Have you ever heard the expression "don't pee on my feet and tell me it's raining?"  There you go.
Abject failure, and the media is mostly silent.  Inflation is a stealth thief because it steals without you realizing what is happening.  You just look around and then realize you are paying sixty three more dollars for the same amount of food.
I believe that in 2014 the senate will have a new leader.  I believe that the same person may be the leader of the house of Representatives, but he will have a clear understanding that he will be 'gingriched' if he doesn't grow a spine. And some testacles.
Pray for our Republic.  Keep the faith, 2014 elections are right around the corner.  You'll thank me later.

What Were You Thinking Coca Cola?

I am a diet Coke drinker from way back. I know, I know. I have read the studies and trust me, If I start drinking six gallons of it a day- the same amount they used in the tests that caused tumors-I fully expect to get something bad.  Six gallons of anything can't be good for you in a twenty four hour period.
However, the brain trusts as Coca Cola may have found another way to get me to stop using their products.
Did you watch their Super Bowl commercial?  What were they thinking??? I have no problem with them being inclusive- I am one hundred percent behind the notion of a melting pot.  But the problem, is, they aren't melting.  America the Beautiful is a lovely song, one that tugs at my patriotic heart strings every time that I hear it.  It doesn't have any of the violent images that twist  the panties of liberals, and it is a heck of a lot easier to sing than The Star Spangled Banner.  
However, Coca Cola decided to make a Super Bowl commercial with most of the lyrics sung in every language except English.  Not only that, the representatives in the commercial were eclectic, at best.  Was there not one entire Service man or woman available from the United States military?  Was there not one disabled service person available for the ad?
I know that there were gobs of other cultures available to represent themselves in the spot, I just have to wonder who Coca Cola was marketing that thing to?
When someone is selling a product, it's easy to see who they want as a customer.  You don't see men in Oil of Olay ads.  You don't see men in tampon commercials. (Although, I must admit, the thought of a man cowering in fear from his pms-ing partner in a Midol commercial would make me laugh)  You get a general idea of who they are marketing to by the people in the advertisement. That's all I'm saying.
Based on that, Coca Cola doesn't seem to want my business any more.
I did not see one person in that entire commercial that would make me think that Coca Cola was aiming the ad at me. Not. one. person.
Do businesses want my business anymore?  Have they gotten so politically correct that they just figure I don't have a choice, but they better get cracking on getting the minorities' business?  I can already hear the claims of  xenophobia.  You know what? Hush.
It's not racist to expect to be represented in advertising.  It isn't discrimination to expect to see a Caucasian in a program or even a commercial  who isn't an idiot.  Think back to programs like The Jefferson's. While Archie Bunker was a controversial figure, who ever got in arms over George Jefferson referring to a bi-racial neighbor as a zebra?
In any given situation-if there must be an idiot- that race of that idiot will not be a minority.  Why is that?  There is even a comic strip "Curtis"by Ray Billingsley.  I don't read it anymore-not after my son asked me why the only white child in the strip is a cross eyed moron?  I couldn't answer him, and I guess the only real answer is that there is still a couple races that can be made fun of.
Why doesn't Coca Cola want the business of plain old Caucasians anymore?  Think about it, you'll thank me later.
