So the "super" committee fell on its useless butt and proved to be a gigantic waste of time, but is anyone surprised? This thing was designed to fail, just the presence of John Kerry proves that. Now we have to contend with the draconian cuts to the military that should leave us wide open to the next terrorist attack.
Based on the supposition that even a broken clock is right twice a day, there is no way that B.O. is doing this by accident. He wants to gut the U.S. military and make us more dependent on the UN. He wants us not to be exceptional, he has said as much. He would really like to see our days of world leadership come to an end.
I keep holding my breath (as much as I can, anyway) and waiting for the next guy in the White House. I only hope that he doesn't screw it up too much.
Why couldn't this committee go over the budget line by line and remove the stupid stuff. Do we really need to subsidize all the ridiculous research that we do? How about that "loan" to Solyndra? Could we start with some of those things and go from there?
With all of the opportunities to save money, there is no way to believe that this group was sent there to succeed. I hope that people wise up. I believe that we need to make it more difficult for the incumbents to continue keeping their snouts in the government trough.
Did you know that it is not illegal for members of Congress to use insider trading to enrich themselves? Why do you think Harry Reid and Ms. Pelosi are so much more wealthy now, then when they got elected? There should be no crime that doesn't apply to our elected officials. Call your elected officials and ask them how they feel about this. You'll thank me later.

What Are You Thankful For?
I've been thinking about this for quite a while. I like to think that I have been more fortunate than most, I have healthy happy children, I no longer have to waste my weekends watching would be race drivers turn left and crash, I am mostly fortunate.
I was reading that the things the poor have are actually pretty nice things. I am glad that we are all managing to do well at all, when you consider things. In a little less than a year, we will have the opportunity fix a horrid mistake made almost four years ago.
I am thankful that my children are healthy. I am thankful that they are intelligent and that they don't take after their Father very much. (Speak the truth and shame the devil) I am also very thankful for the friends that I have, especially the ones who have stood by me through thick and through thin.
I wish that people weren't so complicated, but I am thankful that the things they teach me make me a better person.
I am thankful for my dog Calliope.She has a thing for stealing tomatoes and bananas, but overall, she is a wonderful dog. I hope that we will all be better off in a year, I hope that every need we have is met. Hold your loved ones a little closer, smell their hair and love them. You never know what is coming. You'll thank me later.

FactCheck.org=annenburg project=B.O.
I get very annoyed when someone tells me to check the truth of something by running it past FactCheck.org. I don't agree with most of the "answers" that they provide, and I really don't care for the political spin that they give their answers. I went looking to see who pays the bills over there, much like I was curious about who was paying for the astroturf movement over on WallStreet. You know, "the purely organic, spontaneous group"* who want a minimum wage of twenty dollars, forgiveness of all credit debt and free college educations for any one who wants one.
So I did a little online research (thanks algore) and found that the organization known as FactCheck.org gets the majority of their money from a foundation called the Annenberg Project. This Project is formally known as Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University Of Pennsylvania.
Guess who ran the Chicago branch of the Annenburg Project? I big cigar to the first person who emails me the name Barrak Hussein Obama. Does anyone else see the connection?
Think about this the next time you check some random fact with FactCheck.org. They have an agenda and you need to know what it is. You can thank me later.

We Overpay the Post Office
I got up early this morning so that I could remember to mail something. It's not that unusual, my memory being what it is, I write myself lists all the time. I set a piece of mail out to go first thing this morning. Here is what happened:
The postal carrier did not pick it up. When I called the Auburn, Indiana Post Office, I was told that if I don't have mail to be delivered, the carrier does not stop to pick up the mail. When I complained, he laughed at me and told me a different version of "good luck with that."
What are we paying for? The Post Office needs to be scrapped and replaced with a private company that will not lose 4 billion dollars a year. So then I went online to get a number to call the Post Office and (surprise!) got a machine and was asked to leave a message. After I did that, I went online to get a number to speak to someone. I was asked to call back because his system wasn't working. I was on hold for almost 15 minutes before someone picked up my call.
When did the Post Office quit working for us? They have the nicest benefits package around, and the salary they receive is pretty dang nice. also.
When ever I go to the Post Office to stand in line-I love wasting 20 minutes in a line when there are 8 people standing around behind the screen-it's the same routine. Long line spanning out the door, one person taking her sweet time to wait on customers, 8 other people standing or walking around.
If the Post Office does away with Saturday delivery, they may as well shut the door. The cost of a stamp has gone up 340% since I was little, and the service is horrid. The mail carrier I am cursed with must double back almost every week to give me my mail that he forgot. I was waiting for an important package that he simply did not deliver for three days.
Thank God for the web site that allows you to track your packages. It was through that that I found out my package had been delivered to my local Post Office at 3 that morning. The carrier did not give me the package because I did not have any mail to pick up I guess. Either way, I made a call to the local branch, and after explaining that I KNEW it was in, the useless carrier circled back around and gave me my package. What was he going to do with it? Of course, being the same carrier that couldn't deliver my mail correctly when I moved EXACTLY ONE BLOCK NORTH, I do not expect much.
So far, I have been on hold for over forty minutes, and have been given a false number to continue with my complaint.
It turns out that the crap about not stopping if you don't have mail to be delivered is a lie. Golly, lied to by the Post Office, who would have thunk it!
Call your elected officials, ask them why this monument to incompetence is still in business losing your tax dollars hand over fist. You'll thank me later.

Express Platinum is a Giant Scam
I have a friend who thought he was going to have an aneurysm because of a scam involving Express Platinum Card. He received an unsolicited call from this group offering him a credit card from their company. (I have told him to get himself on the no call list, but he doesn't listen.)
He told the guy to send him the information in the mail, he doesn't do this kind of business on the phone. Fast forward eight days and he sees that he has ninety nine dollars missing from his account. A little research and voila! he finds that Express Platinum has high jacked his money! The bank that he uses tells him that it will take ten days to research and return the money if it was fraudulent. The next time I spoke to him, he was in high dudgeon over the idea of losing access to his money for one third of the month.
So we went online and finally found this place. You will find two phone numbers, if you keep digging. I used the 877.536.0076 number. You will get a system that tries to direct you to an answering machine. If you skip over all of the "customer service" crappola and press one to sign up, you will get a real live person. After several attempts, I got the "manager" who is also the voice for all of the message prompts. Coincidence? You decide.
Finally, after asking to speak to a manager, I had a conversation with this guy who claims he is in charge. He needs to "review" the taped conversation to determine if my friend did in fact sign up for the card. When I told him that I also was taping the conversation, he hung up on me. When I called back, he told me I was being rude and he would "help" if I would let him speak uninterrupted. Hooey. He hung up again. After six more calls to the toll free numbers that are provided, I was able to speak to this same manager again. He sounds like a guy who is working out of his Mom's basement, and their is no physical address for this place.
Can you say scam? Call your bank if you get caught up in this mess, have them begin the process of recovering your money. Then call your local prosecutors, and the better business bureau. You can get your money back if your are unfortunate enough to have any dealings with this scurrilous company. It just takes a little work and patience. Better yet, avoid them like the plague, you'll thank me later.

Schadenfreude
I am not proud of the pleasure that I am taking at someone else's pain today. I hope that by writing this, maybe I can stop taking so much pleasure. Don't bet on it, though. But I am trying. I don't think that there is any good to be had from growing your pain in a special place.
I don't see the logic in those people who remember every slight that has ever happened to them, every snub, every injustice. I was married to an idiot who came from a long line of them. His father could recite every snub, every hurt, every person who ever did him harm. His Father has a mistress to whom he gave his son's comic books. Yes, this happened about 1956. But in 2000, he was still harping on it, still nursing that grudge over a man that had died in 1969. Let.it.go.
He also complained about a nephew that would come over and scope out the gifts from some relative. In 1980, mind you. Of course, he was nice to his face, which he saw twice a year, but the rest of the time, not so much. Don't get me started on the niece who is a practicing hypochondriac. Apparently she got the trait from her Mother and has since passed it on. Nothing says happy Holidays like spending them with the people you hear bad mouthed for 363 days of the year.
Ask me if I miss that slice of crazy from my life, go ahead.
But before I took my little trip down thank-God-I never-have-to eat-another-bad-meal-land, I was thinking about the pleasure I am clearly taking that I shouldn't be. I'll ask my Priest for advice this Saturday and hope I can stop. Hope you are having a great week, keep calling your elected officials about Operation Fast and Furious and those who are dead thanks to B.O. You can thank me later.

Yes, Michelle, All This For a Flag
http://youtu.be/_OCjMaWZKWU
I am seldom surprised by these two. I guess when your expectations are at rock bottom they really have no where to go. And then someone pointed out this video on youtube to me.
So in my utter horror that someone this ignorant, this ungracious, this unfeeling, this self absorbed parks her stupid butt in OUR White House, I occasionally write down responses.
Yes, Michelle, all this for the flag that flies over the brave men and women who tirelessly defend your right to shoot off your stupid mouth.
Yes, Michelle, all this for the flag that symbolizes over two hundred years of a country that you have only recently found it in yourself to be proud of.
Yes, Michelle, all of this for the flag that has enabled you to host countless friends and family in the most luxurious of surroundings.
Yes, Michelle, all of this for the flag that flies over the helicopter that flies your dog on a separate flight to whichever getaway you have chosen this week.
It doesn't help that your husband nods in cynical agreement, but then the two of you deserve each other.
In a little over one year we will have the opportunity to remove this blight from our White House. Make sure you inform yourself and register to vote. Then make doubly sure you vote. You'll thank me later.

Paid to Occupy Wall Street
I had a political disagreement with my Mother this morning. For those of you that know me, this is no shock. My Mother is a wonderful woman who had the strength to raise us almost unassisted, yet politically, we are oil and water.
I was telling her about the information that I found showing that MoveOn.org is funding the demonstration on WallStreet. You know the one, the purely organic, born of frustration, regular folks who have had enough. I've got one word for that: Astroturf.
It turns out that the people, the purely organic, born of frustration folks who have just had enough, got quite a bit of dough from the first stimulus fund. That is no shock given that John Podesta, the brain trust who used to work for the slick willie white house organized the group from the beginning.
I would like for Darryl Issa to take a look at this for me.
He seems to be the only Congressman who has the time to check up on this White House and their shenanigans. I know that he has quite a bit going on, what with Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama attempt to create a controversy and end run our Constitutional Right to bear arms. Someone said something about never letting a crisis go to waste. Who was that again?
But before I get off track, remind yourself that the purely organic, born of frustration folks who just happen to be bankrolled by the federal government are not an attempt to create a liberal Tea Party. The Tea Party movement is actually a grass roots movement. They are people like me who have had enough of a federal government that forgot it works for us. That got so busy trying to secure the next paycheck that it forgot about the peoples' business.
If I had known their was money to be had by hanging out with my buds, not bathing and making inane sound bytes for the cameras, I might have looked into the Astroturf movement holding Wall Street hostage right now.Probably not, though. I don't have that much hypocrisy in me.
Besides, I don't use all the cool gadgets that these astroturfers seem to have. Do you see the irony in the protest against corporate greed by a group of slackers who use every modern technology they can get their hands on? The irony is deafening.
Ask your elected officials to look into the stimulus money that Podesta got for MoveOn.org. Ask them to explain why your tax dollars are funding these astroturfers. Then ask them what they plan to do about it. You'll thank me later.

B.O. May Have Helped Kill More People than Ted Bundy
I keep waiting for the media-outside of FOX NEWS that is- to start reporting on Operation Fast and Furious. I keep waiting to see the numbers in black and white scrolling across the screen on CNN or (fat chance) MSNBC. Or course if I am watching MSNBC then, their viewers will skyrocket to 19.
There are at least two people dead on the American side because of B.O.'s negligence and the numbers keep climbing south of the border. The last figure I could find was about two hundred. Let that number sink in for a moment. There are two hundred people who will never enjoy their families again thanks to Barrack Hussein Obama.
If this is not impeachable, please tell me what is. Nixon was sent packing for simply covering up a break in. A third rate robbery, no lives lost, not real harm done. He was sent packing. Can you imagine if one person had died because of that? Holy monkey, Nixon would have died in jail.
Instead, we have this guy, this idiot, this moron who is openly promoting class warfare and killing our economy with every chance he gets. And while I knew the msm was in his pocket (much like they are for any liberal) I did not expect them to be this willfully ignorant.
Eric Holder's Department of "Justice" has either promoted or transferred just about anyone involved in this heaping pile of poo. Please keep in mind that Nixon did not know about the robbery before hand, he only tried to cover it up once he did know. Mr. Holder should be cooling his heels in a cell for contempt of Congress.
There should be a much more active investigation- special prosecutor, anyone?-into the obvious effort to cover this up and make it go away.
Over two hundred people are dead and it is the fault of Barrack Hussein Obama. Call or email your elected officials and ask them if they are okay with that. You'll thank me later.

I'll do the Yard Work for Whoever Can Tell Me Who the Tool With Red Hair Is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHnbtkbgkfM&feature=player_embedded
I'll do free yardwork for anyone who can tell me who the red haired piece of work is in this video. Why isn't he being investigated, or even removed from his position? If this is the face of the union that they are trying to use for sympathy, they might want to rethink their efforts.
Why don't they want more public scrutiny? Is it because when you have a tool like this in your toolbox, you don't want the public to know about it? What was he thinking, and why is it that he only chose to run his obnoxious mouth when the camera was on him?
If this school is such a threat to the public schools in his area, perhaps the public schools should rethink their mission. I send my sons to a Catholic school for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that I want them to get the best education possible, and public schools are failing miserably in that area.
When I was in school, the United States of America led the world in everything. We had the highest rank for high school graduates, literacy, and those choosing to further their education. Then, President Ford pardoned President Nixon. In retrospect, it was the best thing for the country. At the time, the general population lost their minds. The fury at Nixon being pardoned absolutely drove the push to put someone completely outside of the D.C. mind set in the Oval Office.
Unfortunately, we got Carter. What a dandy, yes? Iran made us look weak and ineffectual. The mission to save the hostages made us look weaker and even more ineffectual. His answer to coal skyrocketing in price? Put on a sweater. But the worst thing he did was give the unions a gift wrapped thankyouthankyouthankyou in the form of the Department of Education. Since the creation of this Union gimme in 1979, the teachers in our public schools have under performed and our children pay the price.
Fast forward to 2011, and you have Governors who are starting to get it. Chris Christie in New Jersey and Scott Walker in Wisconsin have told the teachers "no" and the unions and their stooges are having a giant hissy fit. I respect the lady who is being assaulted in this video-and she is being assaulted. The fact that this loser chose to do it for the camera to see says volumes about him, I think, but I'll leave his other inadequacies out of this. I hope he is outed and shamed in public.
So if you know who he is, send me an email and I'll let everyone else know who this piece of work is. You can thank me later.

I respect the lady who is being assaulted in this video-and she is being assaulted. The fact that this loser chose to do it for the camera to see says volumes about him, I think, but I'll leave his other inadequacies out of this. I hope he is outed and shamed in public.
So if you know who he is, send me an email and I'll let everyone else know who this piece of work is. You can thank me later.
