After talking down the economy for a year in order to get his Crap Sandwich passed, Barkey decides it’s time to talk up the economy. And hey, why is Kathleen Parker’s nose so brown?

OMG! The 8 Most terrifying Holes on Earth. The last one is especially scary and freakish.
Speaking of holes… “If you love America, you’ve got to throw money in its hole.”
It amazes me that there are people in this country who actually believe that spending a trillion dollars on a load of crap, which is 90% social policy and 10% economic policy (if even that), was the right thing to do for America. Unbelievable. Seriously, it’s grand theft!
And I just love how Kathleen Parker states that Obama has “optimism and faith in the American character”. Yeah, he must have learned that from Jeremiah Wright.
So, Jindal’s saying they may not take ALL of the money. I don’t see the big deal. All he’s offering is a “maybe.” Just watch, they’ll accept all of it.
Jindal reminds me too much of Pawlenty. I’m still with Palin and believe that over time she will emerge the stronger candidate.
Our guillotine needs a Tammy Village logo! I see the basket – where are the dolls? Three easy payments of $19.99 will get you the guillotine, basket, and if you order within the next hour – two free dolls Collins and Snowe!
Having been a supporter of George Bush, I found that I was decreasing my regard for him for a number of things; his deferential pandering to a culture of hate which he called a “Religion of Peace”, his feeble nation building when all the county wanted was bin Laden’s head, and not least in contempt was his focusing on his pet concerns like the Shaivo case.
Yet, when he could have been a real ‘mensch’ by fully pardoning Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, he deferred, he went AWOL from the troops with BALLS and stood out as ‘Capon in Chief’.
I don’t like to argue in reverse, and certainly, we are in ever increasing jeopardy of death as a nation, but, in my mind, George BUsh defined himself more by this failure than any other act.
Barky is positioning himself to set up his own super regulatory agency. By halting the regulation review of federal agencies he will be able to stand in front of his teleprompter and propose that all of these agencies are out of control and he must regulate everything. Just like he did with the economy – it’s a disaster, Armageddon, I MUST CONTROL EVERYTHING or we’re going to HELLLLLL. We are in hell – it started on January 20, 2009.
That Kathleen Parker really is a piece of work. I suspect that she actually would love to physically have Obambi’s baby.
They missed the scariest hole in the world… Keith Olberman’s pie hole. Bigger than any diamond mine, and certainly not as pretty as the blue hole of Belize.
Sorry, I am still picking myself off the ceiling, listening to the numbers… 30 billion more for GM, 9 billion more for Chrysler, 79 billion more to pay off the bad debt people have acquired for houses that have lost value…
And one more pie hole ( Gibbs ) tells us more is forthcoming. Is it my imagination, or everytime The Messiah stops, doesn’t Gibbs’ head go right up his @#*?
Now Barky is now a permanent, full time snake oil salesman. He is on the campaign trail again today in Arizona trying to convince all the Kool-Aid drinkers the mortgage industry is the new CRISIS. Hmm, in Arizona, the kidnap capitol of the world, second only to Mexico City. Hmmm? Will he be taking his snake oil speech to any cities near any of the 8 most terrifying holes on earth by chance?
Think we have freedom of speech? Think the “Fairness Doctrine” is all we have to worry about? Think again!:

I actually love snakes because they kill rats and mice.
Think of what’s only been released to the public.
The beheading of a Muslim wife by her moderate Islamic husband. Must be a cultural thing; diversity donchaknow.
An Arizona rancher whose property rights are subborned for the sake of illegal immigrants. (Hmmn, Baraq was there today too.)
A Sheriff in Texas whose support is being frustrated in Washington (Talk about lobbyists anyone?).
One of the most powerful DC lobbying firms whose chairman is a GOP National Committeeman stikes it rich with the Chavez referendum. (He’s one of their accounts.)
Oh yes, the status check that was offered to employers for instant citizenship check was slipped “out” of the payola. (Usually, things are slipped in. Is that the “Change”?)
Sure, earmarks was an issue. But do states with Democratic governors or heavy electoral votes figure in? (Ah fageddabowdit.) Remember, Baraq couldn’t think much of Congress. No sooner was elected to the Senate than he was going onward to something else. (A hell of a lot of masonry to drive a bus over.)
Does anyone really believe that Minnesota will keep Coleman?
Now that the vote’s been cast, I guess it safe to question that little man from Illinois. (Jackson smells carion. Maybe he’ll “PUSH” for it.)
Afghanistan? All we really need there are a few sites from where we can launch hit teams to take-down the icon of the “Religion of Peace”, Bin Laden.
Ask any Speznatz veteran. He’ll tell you they were more hampered by heavy military foot-prints.
Did Baraq get the news? The campaign is over.
Tink, I believe Governor Jindal when he says, “We’ll have to review each program, each new dollar to make sure that we understand what are the conditions, what are the strings and see whether it’s beneficial for Louisiana to use those dollars.” Especially considering how well the state responded to Gustav. Baton Rouge is not normally the area that gets the brunt of the hurricane, it’s the area that people along the coast evacuate to.
‘We live in unprecedented times. There is absolutely no way even recent generations could have anticipated modern medicine as we have today.’-Dr. James Parkinson 1815
As silly as it may seem to quote a physician who lived over 100 years ago, there is a reasonable consideration that the limitations of our mortality is insurmountable by any means. Every day of our existence on this planet, yours and mine, is a miraculous process in itself. That said, there simply is no means to predict what our research will bring us. One sad story may not become the hypothesis of a considerable reaearch project. Then again negative results are least likely to become a news story unless there is some precedence. To quote Dr. Parkinson, ‘WE live in unprecedented times…’ Indeed.
Personal truth: I’d quit smoking if my 95 year old grandmother does. She still smokes about a pack a day. she was born , raised and lived her life within ear shot of the Homestead Steel Works. She was there at a time when you could wash your windows three times a day, and still not se clearly. she breathed it. some idiots decided that this was unhealthy and idoled the mill. I once worked there. When they tore it down, the most expensive and the one machine that was removed intact was the air pollution control monitors that at great expense were placed on the stacks and throughout our so called ‘Steel Valley’. I suppose if she lives past 100, I could thank the people who saw the future. There is a huge shopping area where the mill once stood called the Waterfront. It employs over 2000 people. Not eh 12000 that once worked there spewing pollution. I must say, the motar between the bricks do clean your teeth because when you are hungry, you’d eat anything,
