Governmental Error

Posted on February 16, 2011 | Leave a comment

But not being responsible and taking the blame for it. Can you imagine that?

Here’s the gist of it: The combined forces of the DOJ and DHS intended to shut down ten (10) websites due to charges of child pornography. Trouble was, instead of just ten (10) sites to deal with, 84,000 (less 10) sites were accidentally labelled with a banner notice identifying those sites as trafficking in child porn.

I’d say that’s more thaan a bit much. Excessive, in fact. Sounds like charging innocents with false accusations. Libelous maybe?

To make things worse, yesterday the DOJ and DHS make a joint announcement on how good a job they are doing on project “Operation Protect Our Children”. That’s just marvelous, isn’t it?

So where’s the apology? Where’s the do no harm on this massive, over-reaching, tens of thousands of small businesses affected by some stupid error on their part?

Gee, for something so simple and expansive, one would think a joint effort between DOJ and DHS could actually, you know, patrol and seal our southern border with Mexico what say?

Talk about a massive screw up.

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)??????

Agency Due For Budget Cuts

Posted on February 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

According to an article in the L.A. Times:

As the allegations have come to light, gun dealers across the southwest border have said the ATF has for years been quietly gathering information about questionable multiple purchases and even asking gun dealers to gather information, including descriptions and license plate numbers of suspicious buyers.

Dick DeGuerin, who represents Houston gun dealer Bill Carter, owner of Carter Country, said the company is now being threatened with a federal indictment as a result of multiple sales to purported straw purchasers — sales he said were not only reported to the ATF, but which federal agents encouraged Carter Country employees to complete.

“What’s going on now is some of these agents are scared of their own careers, and are afraid to own up to the fact that they encouraged Carter Country to go through with these sales,” DeGuerin said. “The breakdown came with, what did the ATF do with the information that Carter Country was delivering to them? Apparently, they didn’t do much.”

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.

What’s your point, Prez Mubarak? Have you looked out the window lately?

Spot On Ann Coulter

Posted on February 1, 2011 | 1 comment

Is she confused? I say – no. In fact, Ann made a funny and very salient point about the recent ruling by Judge Vinson calling the entire package of Obamacare being unconstitutional.

“If this is constitutional then Republicans should turn around and mandate that all citizens be force to purchase a gun and a Bible. And, there’s a lot more evidence that owning a gun and a Bible is better for society than everyone having to buy health insurance.”

Go ahead, Mr. President, make us all bitter clingers. Well, most of us anyway.

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.
