Another Stimulus

Just wait now. This is a result of the ‘compromise’ on the tax cut issue and the 99ers (soon to be renamed).

From the article:

The amount of money pumped into the ailing economy: about $900 billion over years.

Subtract the $400 billion cost of the Bush tax cuts. Subtract another $140 billion or so, which is the cost of extending the Alternative Minimum Tax patch (and almost certainly would have happened regardless). You’re then left with more than $300 billion in net stimulus over two years.

POTUS Confused?

Or, simply uneducated?

Apparently he keeps making mistakes, in public, about our history, our Declaration of Independence, how many states we have, our motto – what’s next?

Why Not Abolish FCC Instead?

After all, here’s two FCC commissioners that don’t seem to understand how to do their job and stay out of our affairs.

First, Michael Copps, who last week demanded authority to enforce campaign-finance reform (the FEC’s job), also authority to order music stations to broadcast news shows, and for television networks to give up 25% of prime-time air to locally-produced shows.

Second, Mignon Clyburn has decided that free health care works so well that the government should mandate free Internet as well. Apparently she has never set foot in a library.

Belt Tightening

Not at all, apparently. Nope, no “freeze” of pay if they get raises or ‘step increases’, right?

That belt the POTUS got that was fixed with 12 stitches must have loosened his logic, what say?

Wait, he still needs their votes come two years from now, right?

Truly an AHA moment. Not a funny AHA, but a Eureka moment.

Al Qaeda Hopes To Surgically Implant Explosives into the Body

New Kind of Terrorism?
Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives – such as semtex or PETN was judged the best method.

More of that article

Personally, I’d just as soon send them a pallet of Beans. They’d suffer first before exploding from passing natural gas.

On a related note, I received notice via a friend’s email of a possible new product in the offing:

Develop a booth that you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.

This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this nonsense about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

This is so simple that it’s brilliant. I can see it now: you’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, “Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number…”

I’ll contact engineering tomorrow morning and get right on it.

New Ethics Charge Against Rangel?

The Federal Election Commission is investigating a complaint that Rep. Charles Rangel improperly used his National Leadership PAC to fund his legal defense on ethics charges for which he was censured Thursday, The Post has learned.

The FEC is acting on a complaint by the National Legal and Policy Center filed after The Post reported last month that Rangel paid nearly $400,000 from his PAC.

Lawmakers are only allowed to use money in their individual campaign funds for legal fees, or they can set up legal defense funds for such costs.

And what’s more, Rangel knew he was doing wrong. Pay close attention how he responds to questions from Mr. Jason Mattera.

Boomeranged

A very interesting tidbit from The Professor.

Seems those bombs used by the motorcyclists (that killed the Iranian scientist) were recycled from weapons provided by Iran to al-Qaeda in Iraq.

$1M Down The Drain

Of Geoge Soros’ money. It is to laugh. HAH!

Imagine giving all that moolah to the stupidest website on the Internet.

Media Matters posted a video the other day slamming FOX News for creating a video that shows Nicolle Wallace being punched in the face by Sarah Palin.

But the trouble is, the video was created by The Tonight Show… Not FOX News.

So It’s Going To Be His Fault

Report: Obama Threatens To Veto Compromise Deal on Bush Tax Cuts If Extension of Unemployment Benefits is Not Included

So much for being “open to compromise”, eh, POTUS?

Well Then Why Didn’t You?

We could have let economy fall and been in majority for 40 years

Sure, hindsight being 20/20 and all. Riiiight.

Twits. You knew nothing of the consequences then, you still know nothing of the consequences now.
