Can this woman be any dumber? She is still blaming Kaie Couric for those "Gotcha questions" and after over a year the only things she claims she reads is " Newsmax " , "The Wasilla Times and the WSJ. The accusations she made against Nora and Steve of the McCain campaign have all been refuted. She confused the bank bailouts with the stimulus program . The book is only 415 pages and has only 5 chapters with no index. ( Even her ghostwriter is lazy ) This woman is an on going joke and her supporters are low information voters who don't read either. (I.E Bush supporters) She repeats the same failed idea's of the GOP: Lower taxes lower taxes. That strategy has been disproved . It failed for St. Ronnie (Reagan) and it did not work well for Bush. The problem is corporate tax breaks do not get reinvested; they end up in risky investments and off-shore accounts.

This post is a personal one. I certainly can't claim to be as righteous as Job. But since my bank account is currently at -$73, facing homelessness and I have broken out in all kinds of sores and boils, I can really relate to Job. I can't find a job but I can always look up Job. I AM NOT BEING NEGATIVE, ONLY REALISTIC!! Job 16:1 - 17:16 1 Then Job replied: 2 "I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all! 3 Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing? 4 I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you. 5 But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief. 6 "Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away . 7 Surely, O God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household . 8 You have bound me—and it has become a witness; my gauntness rises up and testifies against me...

In addition to his contributions to Gibson's most famous Guitar I'll always remember Les for inventing the first multi-track recording system. Les Paul and Mary Ford singing " How high the moon "

I noticed that on Conservative news shows Rasmussen polls are always quoted. These polls are always so in the tank for cons it really silly. If you compare their polls to any other poll out there you will find Rasmussen so far from reality that it's only purpose can be for the righties to continue to delude themselves with the lies spewed forth from Fox news. Use the link below to compare Rasmussen's results to any other poll, and keep in mind Faux news only uses Rasmussen. I really wonder how Faux news manages to keep their FCC license. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

EXTORTION - The use, or the express or implicit threat of the use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to person, reputation, or property as a means to obtain property from someone else with his consent . USC 18 The Hobbs Act defines "extortion" as "the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear , or under color of official right." 18 U.S.C. S 1951(b)(2). INSURANCE - A promise of compensation for specific potential future losses in exchange for a periodic payment . Insurance is designed to protect the financial well-being of an individual, company or other entity in the case of unexpected loss . Some forms of insurance are required by law, (read thugs) while others are optional. Agreeing to the terms of an insurance policy creates a contract between the insured and the insurer. In exchange for payments from the insured (called premiums), the insurer agrees to pay th...

I'll keep today's post short and simple. Nobody likes taxes. But starting 2 wars while simultaneously cutting taxes for the rich is just plain dumb. (Thanks GW) I heard Sean Insanity of Fix News state yesterday that revenue is increased when taxes are cut. This is like saying 1+2=5. Until the Vietnam war our county always made sacrifices to fund wars. Either thru rationing (sugar , steel ect) or the raising of taxes. Taxes, nobody likes 'em ,so if you want lower taxes - have fewer unnecessary wars. You can check my data from the link at the top of the post. Peace, The Don

I often hear folks complain that the immigration issue is one of the reasons our economy is in the toilet. Cheap labor hired by unscrupulous companies keep wages low and jobs unavailable to legal citizens. Some xenophobes speak of building a wall around our borders, or using militia to guard them. But there is a more insidious technique used by companies that no wall or border patrol can stop. All it requires is routing an 800 number to Manila or India or Singapore. It is known as Outsourcing. Outsourcing has caused the loss of more American jobs than all jobs lost to illegal immigration. Companies that thought this would help their bottom line jumped on the Outsourcing bandwagon. For Example: The Sony corporation once based it's technical support call center right here in Ft. Myers, Florida. Now those jobs are in India and Malaysia. Sony just posted it's first loss ever. As more and more consumer companies outsource, consumers are able to buy less and less of their products. O...

Is this really the best the GOP can come up with? A choice between Sarah Palin or Newt? I love how every republican History major I know has a very poor memory. During his recent speech at a GOP fundraiser, he made a point of saying he was "A citizen of the United States" and not a citizen of the world. He called this " Intellectual nonsense". This was an intentional stab at Obama but it failed. It simply showed the GOP still has the same Xenophobic tendencies that got us into 2 unneeded wars and pissed off the world. All Newt managed to do is slap Ronald Reagan who stated he was "a citizen of the world". Some historian that Newt. This is the same loser that divorced his first wife while she was recovering from cancer surgery, and had and affair on his second wife while going after Bill Clinton for his lying about the L ewinsky affair. Newt also had 84 ethics charges leveled at him including misuse of tax exempt funds . He paid the $300,000 for th...

The word terrorism has been abused and misunderstood for so long it almost fails to have any meaning. Terrorism is (according to dictionary .com): noun 1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes. 2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization . 3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government. That being said, I am sad to report the the United States of America is the largest Terrorist State in the world (by definition) and will remain so untill both of our illegal wars have ended.

It's been a while since I've posted, but something has been bothering me lately : Nearly every commentator I see on Fox News Is a criminal, has a criminal record or should be in Jail. Below are a few examples. Oliver North - Traitor Karl Rove - Contempt of Congressional Subpoena Dick Cheney - War Criminal G Gordon Liddy - Watergate break-in mastermind and general asshole. Newt Gingrich - Adulterer, Liar and Hypocrite. Rush Limbaugh - Junkie and pedophile Bill O'Reilly - Inciter of murder and general douchebag . Sean Hannity - Just guilty of being a bully and a pussy . (We are still waiting for you to be waterboarded , Sean you chickenshit chickenhawk !) Keep it classy Fox News........
