Not Funny Ha-Ha

We don’t want this, now do we?

Attempting Reconciliation

Way to go, Congress. Must be that looming election in Massachusetts that is bothering you, eh?

What? Parliamentary rules allows this? Wait, don’t those same rules require the presence of bill-type documents on the Floor while discussing them before voting on them?

So, if you lose a Senatorial seat in Massachusetts to a Republican (guess what, this is OUR hope and change), 60 votes is just too tough to acquire?

We Did Not You Did

Mr. President, come this Tuesday evening – you will know if this election is indeed about Obamacare.

Psst. It isn’t you know. It is about: not listening to us (the people), too many radicals in your appointments, cash for clunkers, increasing the deficit, the southward direction of the economy, rising unemployment, the transparency that isn’t, faux global warming, cap and trade, oh – and, you know what, it really is about Healthcare ALSO.

Hope So Indeed

From The Daily Pundit.

Let’s Hope So. As stated by the One who named the Blogosphere.

We shall see, late on January 19th. Is the above a warning, or prophecy?

Hidden Records for 8 Years

Who do we know that has been hiding records?

Well, this time it is the SEC. You know, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
And guess which tax evader is involved?

The now current Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, at the time the chair of the New York Fed, instructed AIG to keep that information from the SEC itself.

Related? Now an IG that oversees the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is having issues. Hhhmm. Now where have we heard anything similar?

UPDATEx1: Condoning Violence?

Apparently, Scott Brown’s opponent, the Attorney General of MA, saw what her supporter did.

Looks like assault to me. What do you think?

And some more detail now.

And a little more.

UPDATEx1: What? Excuse me? Mr. Meehan’s new job is where?

Rush versus Dodd Rumor

After lunch today, I heard Rush Limbaugh (welcome back, Rush) speak of why it is best for an elected official to resign/retire gracefully instead of losing a re-election (or other means of removal).

It is so that individual can come back as a lobbyist. Rush’s words.

Yet, here is a rumor that Countrywide Dodd could become Treasury Secretary!

Good Golly. Can you imagine that. Kinda makes you want throw a brick at the TV now doesn’t it? Or. Worse.

UPDATEx11: Kill the HealthCare Bill

Read this. Explains the core of this issue. Short and not-so-sweet:

1) Restricts personal choice to more expense
2) Destroys economic incentives
3) Creates an existence tax.

Is this the change we voted for? I say it isn’t.

Both Hot Air and Politico indicate high level pressure from the White House to get this Healthcare Bill passed. Hhhhmm. Why not listen to us folks?
But, The One is about to hold a “party” on Tuesday …

Perhaps not. Thanks a whole heckuva lot there, Joe.

2nd BUMP: Well, it looks like Nelson (D-Nebraska) caved. And now, another weekend of Senate wrangling to vote on Healthcare by Monday early. What will Christmas feel like this year? And look what is in this package.

Not good. Not. Good. At. All.

3rd BUMP: Today’s Senate Schedule. The Not OK Corral.

Updatex4: Let Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) tell you what remains in the bill.

Updatex5: Stupac tells all. I hope.

Updatex6: Well, Glenn Reynolds points the way to reality again. Dare I say it? Read both links. Read the whole thing.

Updatex7: The Senate Health Bill Timeline. (Assuming most of this survives the conference on melding the House and Senate Bills into one.) If you don’t know how it spreads out and affects you by the numbers, this should open your eyes.

Updatex8: And these people want to control our healthcare? Not on my life, yours or Rush Limbaugh’s!

Updatex9: An Op-Ed piece in New York Times against the Healthcare Bill? Wow. And after reading it myself, I can’t say I am pleased about this either.

Updatex10: Yet another reason the costs of Healthcare are going to to increase (no matter what the politicians tell us). Can we all be Joe Wilson now?

Updatex11: Is this an example of what is coming here (U.S.A.) for us? Pathetic.

Heads Up

Apparently, the Healthcare “conference” will not be.

Anybody think this is a good idea? No? I didn’t think so.

The totally fair, transparent (yes, we see right through you) Congress is about to give us a ‘present’ sometime soon. They still won’t listen to the Republicans there nor us.

I have my torch and pitchfork. Do you have yours?

A Lovely Letter

America Rising

Oh. Yeah. Yes. Indeed. For now and years into the future.
