An American Christmas Carol

(We join our play in progress as the first spirit gives some much needed advice to our new president)

TJ: Barraack... (Unearthly sound calls out)

BO: "Who are you spirit, and be quite man or you'll wake up Michelle...and let me tell you something brother...you don't want that".

TJ: "It is me Barack, Thomas Jefferson".

BO: "Michelle wake up".

TJ: "No no, don't do that Barry, I've seen what you're dealing with there. Oh, it is okay if I call you Barry, isn't it"?

BO: "Oh sure, Tom".

TJ: "That's Mr Jefferson". "Barry listen, we only have a moment and I have something very important to remind you of".

BO: "Well now, with all due respect Mr Jefferson, I appreciate the..."

TJ: "Barry". "Barry shut up and listen to someone who knows a little something about America for once, our countrys very future is at stake here".

"The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson

An American Christmas Carol, starring Barraack Obaamaa!

Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.

The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and just what can be done about it.

Well, here it is folks;

President Poupon

As you all know, President Obama is a real man of the people. Tuesday, he dropped by a popular Virginia restaurant to grab a burger with his pal Joe. The Gateway Pundit blog pointed out that plain old ketchup didn't cut it for the president, who ordered his burger with a very special condiment:

Yes.  The President likes spicy mustard -- even Dijon mustard.  And he eats overcooked beef.

Thank you, Hannity & Fox News, for this astounding piece of journalism that, finally, reveals the President's true character.  Maybe this will be the big story that knocks a bunch of folks off the fence and into the Republican camp!

I had a run-in with a piece of glass today and guess who won ;-)

Fourteen stitches in my hand and orders to be careful until they come out.   Which will naturally limit my typing for a while.  

So, in other words, Tag!  You're It!

...here we go again. ;-(

The Obama administration will propose $60 billion in new tax increases over 10 years on wealthy estates, businesses and others to make up for shortfalls in its fund to pay for an expensive overhaul of the health-care system.

The measures go beyond plans the White House has announced in the past few weeks. Officials said that upon further analysis they realized that they had overestimated savings and tax increases proposed in February to help pay the bill.

Some of the changes will be announced Saturday, with the full proposals coming Monday when the White House releases a detailed analysis of its budget blueprint.

Administration officials described the new proposals not as tax increases, but as eliminating "tax loopholes."

TEHRAN— An Iranian-American journalist who was sentenced to eight years of jail on spying charges for Washington will be released Monday after an appeal court reduced the sentence, her lawyer said.

We're printing waaaay too much money.

The deficit will surpass 1.8 trillion! - 4 TIMES THE DEFICIT LIBERALS & FISCAL CONSERVATIVES FLIPPED OUT ABOUT ONLY ONE YEAR AGO IN 2008!

Our government is borrowing 50 cents on every dollar it spends.

People will not be paying their taxes if things remain this way, or get worse, then what?

The White House, as with everything else they do, is way over playing their hand when they say they expect the economy will GROW 3.5% by the years end! Come on.

The government can't even keep track of where they're spending all this money!

This is getting really scary IMO!

My liberal friends, what say you?

As Taliban militants push deeper into Pakistan’s settled areas, foreign operatives of Al Qaeda who had focused on plotting attacks against the West are seizing on the turmoil to sow chaos in Pakistan and strengthen the hand of the militant Islamist groups there, according to American and Pakistani intelligence officials.

“They smell blood, and they are intoxicated by the idea of a jihadist takeover in Pakistan,” said Bruce O. Riedel, a former analyst for the C.I.A. who recently led the Obama administration’s policy review of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Even the NYT agrees.
