UPDATE: Judge Rules Administration In Contempt

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.

Never Ever Trust This Man

George Soros Blames Israel for Egyptian Crisis

Intolerant Zeros

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.

Spot On Ann Coulter

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.

Who Needs To Be Educated

About global warming, er, climate change, um – snowballs in he…….. oh, nuts.

Seems that John Holdren, cough – top science adviser to BO, thinks we don’t know anything about science. Particulalrly the life cycle of our own planetary system.

Gee, John, maybe you’ve been schooled a bit longer than some (I only have a Master’s in Engineering Sciences, does that count?) but that doesn’t mean you have all the answers.

Oh, by the way, how are you going to plug the earth’s volcanos, hhmm? And stop the methane from bubbling up from the Atlantic? Refreeze those (floating) icecaps and icebergs? (You know that ice, when it melts, takes up far less volume, right?)

Don’t treat us like fools. We’re on to the game. As for “green” energy sources, we are nowhere near break-even.

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.

UPDATE: Soon To Be A Ponzi Scheme

Remember those Obamacare waivers to companies and organizations that cannot afford the Goverment sponsored healthcare plan?

Well, those waivers jumped from 229 to 729. This month.

Now, if this healthcare plan is great and wonderful, why are these waivers growing?????

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin takes another look at this problem. Titled: Waivers for Favors: Obamacare’s Escape Hatch

NEA Disburses Donations

Ahem, does any of our tax money go to the kids education??????

And why, pray tell, is the NEA donating to unions? The Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate???
$1,758,000 for political influence? $100,00 to MediaMatters?

That’s just a few. Oh, there’s more. Why is a government agency doling out our tax money for political purposes?

So House Proposes $2.5T Spending Cuts

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?

Over Half USA States File

27 of 50 States Now Challenging Constitutionality of Obamacare in Court

I’d say that’s a sign. A really big sign. Question is:

Is SCOTUS, Federal courts, Congress and 1600 paying attention now? I mean, given that the House passed their bill to repeal Obamacare today, it would seem to me even if Sen. Reid STILL refuses to deal with this on the Senate side – there’s going to be hell to pay.

REPEAL !!!!!
