Massa Bahma's Plantation

Whitey be ahful happy on Massa Bahma's Plantashun. Massa Bahma, he a mahty kine massa. Massa he promise he be gittin free docta's when we ailin'. Massa he promise whitey nevah have to worry abou' gittin olt too. Massa gion' git whitey a nice rockin chaih' to rest his bones when he git ol'. Massa Bahma is good to his whitey slaves what work to pay fo' the big house and big fancy carriage.

It's good to be a slave on Massah Bahma's plantashun. Massah Bahma lets us keep almost half of everyting we grow. The part Massah takes he gives to the congress Massahs to share with the other massahs what don have to work in the fields. All those innuh city massahs and those pro-abortion Massah's and those trade union massah's work together to keep the massah's in power.

We be so lucky to be Massah Bahma's slaves. Evybody know that whitey isn't smaht enuf to look to his own biznus. Whitey need massah to make sure whitey has a place to live an look to whitey's doctorin, an his ol' age an speshully look to keep watch on the money that massah let whitey keep.

Whitey be so lucky that the Massah's in Hollywood make sing-songs and play actin' to keep us happy so we don' get addled with the hahd work in the fields. The otha massahs in Hollywood bring whitey great songs to sing while whitey carries the burden of prosperity for massah.

Yassir, whitey be mahty lucky to keep half of what he earns, that means whitey is only massah's slave half the time.

Yassir, only a slave half the time.

The King of Pop is Dead

Michael Jackson is dead. A great artist has died. A tortured soul has passed from this world. A spoiled, skinny, man-child who earned roughly a billion dollars in his life, spent nearly a half-billion more dollars than he made. Where's the liberal outrage? The ACORN thugs that rail against the bonuses on Wall Street should be rioting in the streets. This man consumed a half-billion more dollars of wealth than he generated. According to the socialist theory of Obama, they ought to draw and quarter his body and burn the pieces. There are poor children in the inner cities that starve everyday because of the debt that Michael Jackson created.

If a Republican sends a suggestive e-mail to a page, it's a foil for a national slime campaign. But if a brilliant dancer-singer is a serial pedophile, then Hollywood and pop culture America looks the other way.

Michael Jackson became the sorry excuse for a human he was because the hangers-on in his life never told him "no."

Michael Jackson died the way he did because the hangers-on in his life never told him "no."

Much like Elvis, he lived in an artificial world of adulation that destroyed him.

With strength and discipline, he would have been an enduring, unstoppable force for real progress. Instead, he's another Hollywood "rags to riches" and "drugs to the grave" story.

It will all be OK. After all, tomorrow is another day...

Barack Obama and the 400 Thieves

"Not My President", "Not My President's Cabinet" and "Not My Congress" are stealing us all blind. In case you are not paying attention, they just made a deal that clips the taxpayer out of any possibility of repayment of the TARP money by Chrysler. The primary debtholders got screwed too. Do you know who got all the goodies. Billions and billions worth of goodies? Long time Democrat Party Supporters, The United Auto Workers Union. About 7 Billion of your dollars given to the people who bankrupted Chrysler in the first place.

Who else got screwed when they diluted the stock? Every pension plan that was invested in Chrysler. Teachers, Nurses, Accountants, Waitresses, Utility Workers, and everyone else.

You know who else got kickbacks from TARP? Goldman Sachs! Yep! That revolving door that goes from the Treasury to Goldman and back was the conduit for nearly 200 Billion dollars to get rolled back to wealthy GS investors through the AIG bailout. Anybody want to bet against the fact that George Soros is invested at Goldman?

Your dollars are going to be worth half as much next year.

The Deserving Poor Again and Again

Over the course of time I've addressed "The Deserving Poor" on a number of occassions. And I've explained my economic reasons for discriminating between the deserving poor and the undeserving.

The link above will get you a copy of Ayn Rand's masterwork "Atlas Shrugged".

If you read it and endeavor to understand it, you'll understand the import of human dignity and the destructive nature of indiscriminate charity.

Trust me on this. Read the book!

Hansen As A Verb

I postulate that in the future "to Hansen" will be synonymous with "to run around in a panic waving one's arms in the air and shouting "we're all gonna die.""

Just as it seems the rest of the world is coming to the realization that climate cycles are normal, Hansen now suggests that we scrap democracy since we haven't put a bunch of socialist looters in charge of the world economy fast enough.

In other words, if a majority of UN cronies decide that CO2 is a poison, then we should tally the vote and crash the world economy further. But if a majority of the people decide that going back to the dark ages may be a little premature based on the large amount of uncertainty surrounding the whole debate, then we should broom that vote and proceed directly to dictatorship.

Empty Suit Alert!

Do you know what a teleprompter is? It's a tool used by people that want to deliver finely crafted speeches that don't deviate from the official doctrine. They give the speaker the exact word for word delivery, sometimes with pauses and emphasis marks even displayed.But a truly quick mind will realize when the teleprompter is screwed up.

Since it's the media darling and symbolic affirmative action quota president, It didn't get picked up by any U.S. news outfit that I've seen. If this was George Bush it would have been the top story for a whole news cycle. You newspaper owner want to know why your businesses are crumbling? It's because most people want the truth from a newspaper, even if it challenges their preconceptions and preferences.

We have gone from a bright, inarticulate President to a dim, inarticulate President that can deliver a speech from a teleprompter. Only 46 months to go until we dump this clown.

Update: In response to all of the attention, the divine TelePrompTer has started it's own blog.

More AGW Skepticism

University of Wisconson at Milwaukee researchers applied a math application called synchronized chaos to climate records and found something very enlightening. More doubt on whether the earth is actually warming.

Chris Dodd's AIG Bonus

Barney Frank, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, John McCain and a host of others all got their share of money from AIG last year. But now they want to make sure that the people that run the company don't get the money that they have been contracted to.

The White House criticizes banking execs for luxury spending while dishing up weekly buffets with $100 per pound Wagyu Beef.

I'm a little confused. Politicians that certainly haven't protected us from anything, don't improve anything, and don't produce anything are entitled to party at taxpayer expense, but AIG executives are not entitled to the protections of contract law.

Throw the bums out.

We Told You He Was An Empty Suit

The S.S. Obama agenda is heading for the Reef of Reality. The vacuous double speak that he used during the campaign didn't mean the things the voters thought they meant.

As Obama tries the failed politics of FDR, LBJ and Jimmah Cahteh, his poll numbers are plummeting and the public has lost that cultlike confidence that he has the solution to anything. Supply-side economics is the only thing that will work. You need to lower taxes on the ambitious, the risk-takers, the inventors, the merchants.

I am so looking forward to the election in 2010. The libs are going to get their asses kicked.

I should go out to San Francisco and run against Nancy Pelosi. She'll be ready for humiliation by then.

45 years of Democrat Disaster

In 1964, shortly after the Assassination of Kennedy and the commencement of the Camelot Myth, the Democrats embarked on a massive program to reshape the country.

The Great Society --- Intended to create utopia. Effect? Massive entitlement spending that left the nation 11 trillion in debt.
The War On Poverty --- Intended to wipe out poverty, Effect? Destroyed the inner city family and resulted in wholesale incarceration of poor black males.
Medicare/Medicaid --- Intended to provide medical care to the needy. Effect? Huge supply and demand imbalance in medical care.
Liberal Tort Law --- Intended to protect the little guy. Effect? Huge increases in the cost of insurance increases the cost of all goods and services, especially Medical Care and Prescription Drugs.
Affordable Housing --- Intended to provide safe comfortable housing. Effect? Government Project Slums, Subprime Mortgage Mess, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.

So after letting the compassionate idiots play with the piggy bank for 45 years, we're broke. And for 45 years, the watchdog press stood on the sidelines and vilified anyone that stood against them.

Are you tired yet?

Obama Comedy Hour

Obama turned to a new source of hope this week. He's begun to suggest that the American people will be the key to ending the current crisis. This is a new tack for the S.S. Obama. I thought government was his solution to every problem. Government stealing from the producers to give to the parasites. As the confidence of wealth disappears, He's running out of people to steal from. He needs the ambitious and industrious to go out and create some wealth for him to steal.

Just maybe, he's getting an expensive education from all of those tax-dodging friends of his. Obviously, they understand the effect of taxes on the effort to create wealth.

Save your money for a rainy day, and laugh while you can. Sometimes all you can do is laugh.

ObaMcNugget Emergency

A woman in Florida called 911 three times to report a shortage of Chicken McNuggets at her local McDonalds. When cited with abuse of the 911 system, she insisted that her order of Chicken McNuggets constituted an emergency. The story is here.

This woman is indicative of the people that Obama believes are unfairly treated. She has a sense of entitlement and if she isn't given what she wants then it is an injustice and therefore constitutes an emergency.

You liberals created this woman with your cruel social programs that deprive human beings of the dignity of work and self-sufficiency. You created someone that is a slave to a self-centered delusion of arrogant unaccountability.

Cruel, Cruel Liberals. Shame on you.

Guata-Belize Diary

Went to Belize for 12 days. Went to Ambergris Key and San Ignacio in Belize and Flores and Tikal in Guatemala. Here's what you need to know.

Ambergris Key is relatively expensive for Central America but bargains can be had. You can rent a bike for $5US/day or a golf cart for $45US/day. You do that math.

Best food was at Wild Mangos. Always booked for dinner and not cheap but not pricey either. Terrific value.

Casa Picasso was good but watch out on the specials. Our "specials" were twice as expensive as anything on the menu. Not worth the money.

Caliente, El Patio and the Jambel Jerk were good food and less pricey places for everyday meals.

Dive shops were a little spacey and would cancel with no notice if they didn't have enough divers to go 5 minutes out to the reef. All dives were supervised by a staff diver that went down with you. Diving was good to great.

The water taxi that leaves from the Marine Terminal is cheaper than the San Pedro/Belize Express. Just as fast. Express buses also terminate at the Marine Terminal.

All buses are operated commercially and there are multiple companies on the same routes. Local Buses are just about as fast as the express buses and are way cheap. Not a single bus that we rode had air-conditioning no matter how much it cost. I'd go with the local buses over the express if you are going to Guatemala.

We got discounts on some tours and bus prices by haggling.

There's a great Zipline Canopy Tour outfit just outside of the Tikal Archeological Reserve.

Flores is a wonderful little town and the lake tour will take you to a few other neat places on the lake. San Jose and San Andreas looked like sleepy little places with nothing to do but swim, tan and rest.

San Ignacio was dusty and unpolished but good air conditioned rooms were available at Casa Blanca on Burns St. for $50US. Across the street, Hanna's was the best Belizean style food we had. Absolutely the best $4.50 meal I've ever had... beans, rice and pork. PACZ Tours was a helpful low pressure place to book trips.

Have Fun.

How to Crash a Great Nation

Spend more than you generate.

Do not produce enough energy or food to meet your own needs.

Lend money to borrowers that cannot pay it back.

Drive Jobs away using high taxes, arbitrary wage controls, and oppressive environmental regulations.

Steer education away from math and science toward social radicalism.

Hey Democrats! You've accomplished your mission.

Chicago Bunko Artist Exposed

I've watched time unfold and was too lazy to blog. Or maybe I was laughing too hard. McCain/Palin takes the lead in national polls. Obama flounders, Biden wanders verbally in search of a cogent thought.

Meanwhile, Ike the Hurricane comes ashore and reverses all the recent improvements in gasoline cost, thoroughly demonstrating that prices are set by supply and demand at some level.

I saw CNN trying to strike back for Obama today. Two curvy info-babes trying to make a comparison between tax cut packages. They left out the Laffer Curve and the real impact on revenue. It was a completely biased, intellectually vacant, static analysis of a dynamic relationship.

The left is terrified. They were so hopeful that Bush hatred would deliver the type of majority necessary to allow Gay Marriage, Sex Ed kindergarten, nationalization of oil and health care, and the delivery of US sovereignty to the UN. They delivered a pretty, man-boy, empty suit into the most intense scrutiny process in the world and he's rapidly becoming a national joke. If you tell the truth about him, he calls it an attack. This is one of the areas where he's right. All you have to do to destroy Obama is to make the truth known.

He has never done anything except walk the extreme left party line.

He has never published anything of intellectual substance.

He has never authored a bill of importance.

He has never produced "a result."

He has a bunch of half-siblings that he's not helped out of poverty.

He gave only 1/10 of 1% of his sizeable income to charity until he was thrust into the national limelight.

McCain is not a GOP "dream" candidate but he is surging ahead as the scrutiny process exposes Obama as an enormous scam perpetrated on the emotionally powered, intellectually vacant left.

He is a good orator and that is all. And that my friends, IS an attack.

Y'all have fun with that.
