Of the financial kind, as an inheritance – he claims the heirs didn’t work for, or deserve it.
How nice. Just in time to replace Scrooge with – himself.
Video at The Blaze. If you can stomach it.
Psst, hey, Barney – did you receive any “gifts” from Fannie and/or Freddie?????
Own up now.
Oh, one more thing, Barney.
The government didn’t “work for” any percentage of that “gift” – now did they?
So why should “the government” get any portion of a family inheritance?

Thanks to the Senate, passing SB 510 late night last night (Sunday).
(Can we kick them out now, instead of having to wait until January??)
They did this, after objecting to the fact he Senate passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act on Nov. 30 by a vote of 73-25. But the bill was later invalidated by a technical objection because it was a revenue-raising measure that did not originate in the House — Senate staff had failed to substitute the food safety language into a House-originated bill.
(Imagine that. I don’t recall they had an objection when they passed that tax bill – before sending it to the House. Will wonders never cease.)
Impact on small family farms, and the 10 biggest lies about this SB 510.
Here is the Bill itself – for your reading pleasure.
Oh, and these, too:
S. 384 & H.R. 3077 & H.R. 2749 I

That would be (at least) Nina Totenberg, analyst for National Public Radio (NPR), and Muslim immigrants in St. Peter, Minnesota (how ironic).
If they really don’t like Christmas, they don’t have to participate. But they shouldn’t have the power or authority to change it for the rest of us.
When, just when, are we going to put a stop to their nonsense?
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Oh, and before I forget, Merry Christmas!

For saving Rudolf, or a reasonable facsimile thereof – the strangers were given tickets by a DNR officer whose heart remains uncategorized.
Nice guy. But something tells me – no, no Christmas spirit here. Particularly since the episode resulted in a positive outcome.
Risky? Sure. But I, like others, wake up in the morning to face all kinds of risk for the coming day.
According to the Federal Reserve examiners that visited Perkins, Oklahoma and deemed a Bible verse of the day, crosses on the teller’s counter and buttons that say “Merry Christmas, God With Us.” were inappropriate.
Excuse me, but the Federal Reserve has not the authority to do this. At least, if they truly understood the First Amendment. It says:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
And last I heard, Federal Reserve, there is NO LAW telling you that you can do what you did to that bank.
UPDATE: Apparently, they got the message and let the bank put back their Christmas ornamentation. Never underestimate the social power of the internet. Explains why some want to regulate it. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Isn’t TSA supposed to prevent someone from bringing a loaded gun on a plane after going through Security?
You’d think, right? Well, the traveling businessman apparently didn’t realize he had his (ahem) loaded weapon in his carry-on until after he got to his destination and unpacked in the hotel.
By the way, those of you who don’t mind what TSA does to you in the name of your safety, how do you feel about this now?

Yup. How about that. And guess who voted to keep that going?
From The Daily Caller –
Senate Democrats on Wednesday defeated an amendment to pay for the $60 billion in unemployment insurance payments that were included in President Obama’s tax deal with Republicans, which included a provision that would have eliminated taxpayer-funded benefits for millionaires.
A total of 50 Democrats and two independents voted against the measure, sponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn, to cut a total of $156 billion in spending over five years.

By having the U.S. Senate pass a funding bill (yesterday’s tax package that funds Obamacare) first THEN sending it to the House for their look see and vote.
What? They think we won’t notice? We don’t know our own Constitution?
We know it better than they do!
Oh, and here’s the voter tallies.

Senate GOP leaders take heat over millions of dollars in earmarks
Thune and Cornyn faced a barrage of hostile questions about their earmarks by reporters from NPR, ABC News and NBC News.
“Going through this bill, there is earmark after earmark from the both of you, millions of dollars in earmarks from the two of you and from other senators,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl told Cornyn and Thune. “How do you have any credibility on this? Why do you have earmarks?”
And slowing the vote by reading the entire START treaty (heh):
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday blasted Republican opposition to the New START nuclear arms treaty, calling it a “new low in putting political stunts ahead of our national security.”
Sen. Jim DeMint’s (R-S.C.) call to read the entire treaty on the Senate floor in an effort to delay the ratification was described by Gibbs as “the height of hypocrisy.”
“While some express concern that the Senate doesn’t have time to debate the treaty, Sen. DeMint wants to waste 12 hours to read the text of a treaty that has been available to every member of the Senate and the public for more than eight months,” Gibbs said.
UPDATE: Sen. Jim DeMint backs down from reading the START Treaty document ….. man up, Jim.
