We Are In The Best of Hands

Not.
I agree with Mark Steyn. Vehemently. Clapper is an idiot of the first order and shouldn’t be allowed out in public.

Who put him in charge? Oh, yeah.

How To Mess Up the Future

Posted on February 9, 2011 | 2 comments

According to the Veep, by spending $50B + for high speed rail in economic times that put all of us and generations to come owing tons of money this administration spent and borrowed and spent to the point of (almost??) no return.

In other words – rocketing to the poorhouse.

Idiot. I hope everyone else picks up on the timing of this idiocy.

hhhmm, I wonder how much of that $50B could be used to seal the southern border …….

Toyota Shafted

Posted on February 8, 2011 | 2 comments

Remember those stories that a lot of Toyota cars suddenly, for no reason, suffered intense acceleration?

Well, Neil Cavuto summarizes the truth of the matter – it isn’t, and wasn’t, true. At all.

Here’s my question.

Are they going to get the money back from the government (fines)??????

Happy Birthday, Ronald Reagan.

HotAirPundit has two perfect videos for this day. The first, a campaign ad. Thes second, today’s experiment by President Obama.

Kinda makes you want to turn the calendar back ……

UPDATE: Judge Rules Administration In Contempt

Posted on February 3, 2011 | 1 comment

Over the deepwater oil drilling moratorium. A very interesting read.

But will it solve anything? Don’t hold your breath. Be nice if someone in Congress would push this further into the sunshine.

Hint.

UPDATE: Job losses. Oil company files for bankruptcy, sells oil rigs. Administration does nothing. Nothing.

Intolerant Zeros

Posted on February 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

A 7-year-old child allegedly shot a Nerf-style toy gun in his Hammonton, N.J., school Jan. 18. No one was hurt, but the 7 year old now faces misdemeanor criminal charges.

School officials alerted cops to investigate the incident which led to the police (with prodding, no doubt, by the school’s zero-tolerance policy by the – cough – administrators) charging the 7-year-old with possession of an imitation “firearm” in school – a misdemeanor and a minor juvenile offense in New Jersey.

I am still wondering just who are the idiots here. i count at least three, maybe four, could be more.

Oh, that “gun”? Something like a Nerf gun, that shoots soft ping pong balls. Oh yeah, real dangerous weapon there. Glad they called the cops. Wonder how many showed up and what their reports looked like.

Conclusively, An Idiot

You know who. That Mostly Stupid Nitwit Broadcasting Crap – Chris “Tingle” Matthews.
Apparently, he’s equating the unrest in Egypt with the Iraq War.

Must be Alzheimer’s kicking in.

No Longer Ours

Deepwater rigs moved out of the Gulf of Mexico

(Adds Pride rig moving to Mediterranean)
Jan 27 (Reuters) – Some of the 30-plus deepwater rigs that were in the Gulf of Mexico have moved to other markets, first because of a U.S. halt called last May after BP Plc’s well blowout, and then because of the lack of permits once the moratorium was lifted.

See the jobs go. See the oil go. See unemployment rise. Is it any wonder costs for everything will rise?

And we remain dependent on others to export oil to us. Even moreso.
Sorry, grandkids, this is no longer the America it used to be.

Thank the President and the 111th Congress for this mess. They are the ones who foisted this on you.
Let no one tell you otherwise, for that will be a lie.

So House Proposes $2.5T Spending Cuts

Posted on January 20, 2011 | Leave a comment

But have they gone far enough? No.

I notice one thing they have touched on yet, our funds to the IMF. You know, the International Monetary Fund?
And what happened to all the money we sent their way in the not so distant past?

And another thing, how many items make up all of the unfunded liabilities? When is there going to be an accounting, and reductions/eliminations, in that area? Hhhmmm?

UPDATE: Scripted at Tucson

Posted on January 15, 2011 | Leave a comment

Gasp! What? On a Jumbotron?

Was this a memorial proceeding or wasn’t it?

UPDATE: According to comments in the articles referred within the GatewayPundit blogsite, it may well be the picture has captured a video image that is also displaying closed captioning. If anyone can corroborate that, please feel free to speak up.
Even so, for anyone that had managed to watch/partake in the service, I would also like to hear from those who heard this firsthand.
TUCSON – Thousands of people flooded into Tucson’s McKale Memorial Center to hear President Barack Obama speak this evening. The center is now full, and people are being directed to go to the U of A football stadium to watch the event on a Jumbotron screen.

If you have a Flickr (Yahoo) account, try this as a commenter claims there may be better information here. I tried, but I get a message that I cannot view the picture(s).

Oh Good Lord. Contrivances.

At last, a commenter explains it:
I am a closed captioner and I was working that evening and captioned this event for one of our clients. (There are many stations that ran this live, so I doubt I was actually producing the captions seen in the shot.) But I try to use [APPLAUSE] when cameras aren’t showing an audience reaction, as the shot of Obama above demonstrates. It’s not always successful because captioners usually work off of an audio feed that isn’t time-delayed. Our video is not, so knowing whether the camera will cut away or not is guesswork. But you want the deaf or hard-of-hearing to know why the speaker is no longer speaking, if you can. That’s what this is. It’s descriptive, not proscriptive.
