Sarah Palin's humorous and interesting twitter post

I just came across a very illuminating and homurous youtube post called "Bar Stool Economics".  I wish more of our politicians could remove their political blinders and realize what soaking the rich for more and more taxes without trying to reduce spending will do.  Rush Limbaugh moved his number one rated radio talk show over this.  New York City started taxing the rich more and he decided to move to Palm Beach, Florida.  I wonder why he didn't do it sooner.  Do you think New York is really glad to get rid of him.  I'm surprised NY has not tried to put some kind of "ex-pat" tax on him and other millionaires who give up the big apple for more of their earnings in their pockets.



 P. S. Click on the text message, the origins of this article go back to 2002 and no one knows for certain who the original author is, except for the original author, of course.

a couple of videos

Here's a couple of videos that poke fun at some of our politicians. It will offset the tragedy at Yeonpyeong the earlier post and whatever other news you see today. If I do not post again, have a safe and grope-free Thanksgiving Day.

Video 2: The return of the (now) 25 foot Pelosi

North Korea attacks South Korean island of Yeonpyeong.

North Korea launched an artillery attack on Yeonpyeong, an island of 1200 people near the North Korean border. South Korea launched 80 rounds of artillery in defense. No motives have been given at this time. The South Korean President announced an investigation into a possible relationship between this attack and North Korean war game exercises started near the border on Monday 2 November, 2010. IMHO, it's time to offer South Korea enough missiles to bomb North Korea's new nuclear enrichment plant back to the stone age, after they sign an acceptable trade agreement.

Actually, the US and South Korea have mutual defense treaties in place. Maybe North Korea is trying to frighten US and South Korea into breaking the treaty. Let's hope this does not worsen and the treaties remain strong.

Halloween special rants

What better way to celebrate Halloween than a visit with the wicked witch of the west, the current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Here are a couple YouTube clips of her. She must be a narcissistic foot fetisher and a very limber lady to be able to put her foot in her mouth as she does.

Video clip 1



She states that without Obama'a economic recovery package, 500,000,000 Americans will lose their jobs. According to the CIA World Fact Book, the US population size was 310,232,863 (July 2010 est.) Now here's the truly scary fact of life. The US Presidential line of sucession goes first to the VP currently Joe Biden then to the Speaker of the House, currently the WWW, Nancy Pelosi. As much as I disagree with the President, I pray for his continuing health and safety.

Video 2



In this clip Speaker Pelosi ignores a reporter's question about the fairness of the Health Care bill's individual mandate to buy health insurance. She also evades his question about whether people who do not get health insurance can go to jail. Finally, she just ends the press conference and ignores the reporter.

Also, her defense of the insurance mandate is that without it, people will go to emergency rooms and pass the bill on to others. She said the mandate was fair because it provides subsidies for people who cannot afford health insurance. These subsidies are taxpayer funded, so the mandate will not spare people having to pay for other people's medical bills, it just changes the way the taxpayers subsidize the underinsured medical bills. That is just another redistribution of wealth scam on her part.

2 Videos of 2 demagogues trying to rewrite history of their past statements

Here's two videos to think about on election day, Tuesday 2 November, 2010. The first one is from For America reminding us of what a nightmare Obamacare is. The second one is from CNBC Power Lunch.  It features the master of the disasters known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, rep Barney Frank, the first openly gay congressman and currently the chairman of the house financial services committee.  In it he states after the FM/FM collapse that he was always opposed to sub prime mortgages and advocated more rental housing??!!  Does he not know most of his statements in congress are on C-Span and in many cases YouTube as well?  The Power Lunch reporters conjured up one statement from 2005 that contradicts his first statement.

Nancy Pelosi buys votes with Obamacare Promise

Quote of the Day:

We see it as an entrepreneurial bill, a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi May 2010

Counter Quote of the Day:

"Imagine, if you will, that I am an idiot.
Then, imagine that I am also a Congressman.
But, alas, I repeat myself."
-- Mark Twain

I found this video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraging musicians to give up their regular jobs to pursue development of their creative or performing arts skills.  The USA is in an economic depression and she tells people that have jobs that provide health insurance to quit and follow their dreams.  Thankfully, she does not start singing "Climb Every Mountain" from the "Sound of Music."

Obamacare 101

I just read an interesting article on the Business and Media Institute's website about Obamacare. McDonald's and White Castle both did studies to asses the effects of Obamacare on their business. McDonald's concluded that their franchisees would lose 15% to 20% of their profits if all the provisions of Obamacare are enforced. White Castle found that their net income would decline by 55%. You do not need an Ivy league law degree to realize a 55% loss of net income will not start a hiring frenzy. It will probably lead to restaurant closings, layoffs and workers getting fewer work hours AKA underemployment.

BTW, the article was titled "We are Headed for 15 Percent Permanent Unemployment."
