And in this case, an entire Department. As in, the Department of Energy.
Just how dumb are these cretins? Wanting to spend unrealized future “savings” on the heels of pay freezes?
They aren’t “savings” then are they? ‘Fess up now. We know the answer. Question is, do you?
Will someone PLEASE put the DOE out of our misery?
Work the future, indeed ….. wait, win? Nope. Doesn’t look like it to us math majors and minors.

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)??????

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?

UPDATEx2: Well, time to eat some crow. After some more serious troubleshooting, the only remaining thing to try was to power off everything. Computer, satellite box, PVR, flatscreen and AV receiver. Switching back on after 10 full minutes brought everything fully functional again. I apologize to any I have offended, particularly DirecTV and/or Hauppage, the maker of the PVR.
At least I learned something more over the past couple days. Unfortunately, I cannot say for 100% certainty just where (in which electronics) the fault lay at the time – which is the answer I would have preferred to find. Maybe another time.
Since I have calmed down some, I have been troubleshooting as best I can for awhile this evening. I am not yet convinced if there is a hardware fault in either the receiver box component output or the component input to the HD PVR.
At that, I will be calling DirecTV tomorrow to find out if there is anything they can do to troubleshoot the receiver.
Until then, I will hold my tongue and at least apologize for my hasty post.
Frankly, I am more than just peeved about this. I promise I will keep my worst curses where no one can hear them.
For any readers here that are technically aware, the suppliers of HDTV signals have now switched off the component video connections. On Blu-Ray players and, as I found out just recently, DirecTV HD satellite receiver boxes …….
This means they have rendered my legally purchased hardware/software package (Hauppage HD PVR model 1212) useless.
$199 down the drain. Just because they can do it. Just to force us to purchase/lease their equipment. To make us pay subscription fees.
Okay, who do I send the bill to? DirecTV? Who?
Anybody else notice this happen to themselves? Speak up, please.

I had a prior post about the need to be aware of possible tampering to ATMs.
Here is an excellent article, with video, describing exactly why you need to be very, very careful.
UPDATE: Now, crooks are replacing the ATM keyboard. Meaning, they no longer have to “watch” you enter your PIN. BE ON YOUR GUARD.
Pres(id)ent Obama, back when he was but a Senator actually said he was against raising the debt limit (in 2006).
Four short years ago. So what’s changed, POTUS? Just how big a credit card balance owed must we have?
Hypocrisy (my definition) – having, cough, leaders telling us we consume in excess … turn around and spend excessively themselves. Moreso than past administrations have ever done.
Truly desstined for the history books. But, I have news for Congress and tthe POTUS – you are not going to like how the history books read.

According to Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). He warned Sunday of “apocalyptic pain” if the government does not change course on its spending.
Gee, it’s not like we haven’t heard this before. Or said it ourselves.
The Rhode Island state government, in the person of the Attorney General, who’s behind this program to destroy kids toy guns.
Feel safer now? Feel powerful now that you are manipulating kids, AG?
Can you just wrap yourself in the pathetic lapse of idiocy? Or, you did that already, yes? Yes. Looks like.
Sheesh. For Christmas yet. Tell me, AG, how much of taxpayer money did you waste on this effort to mess up children’s minds?
Come on, the voting taxpayers want to know.

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?

For attempting a $48 Billion theft.
Of course, trying is one thing – if it is given to him – there is more than one criminal in cahoots here.
The Mother of All Earmarks…
Liberal Representative Emanuel Cleaver has proposed a whopping $48 BILLION EARMARK that would redistribute wealth to the inner cities.
UPDATE: $48 B … To one person? Friend? Operating a Child Day Care from his home?
UPDATEx2: Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Denies $48B Earmark
But Gateway Pundit has screenshots of his website and “drills down” so you can find it for everyone to see that it is there, as specified, on his website.
How about that? Fact checking doesn’t help much when you say something quite different does it, Rep. Cleaver?
