The Fall Of The British Empire

For some time now, Britain has allowed millions of Mooselambs, including many radicals, to enter and settle in the country. In fact, large areas of major cities have been taken over by Mooselambs, most of whom are doing nicely living on State benefits. (welfare) London has seen many violent riots by these radicals in an effort to have their demands met. Not only has Sharia Law been put into effect in those areas, it is now "officially recognized" by not only the government, but the Church of England as well. I'm sure most British officials think this is all just a big coincidence.

On an almost daily basis, we read stories about how the Brits are totally consumed by political correctness, (yes, even worse than we are) especially when it deals with anything Mooselamb. You can get yourself in very serious legal trouble there for saying, doing, or even thinking anything that is even remotely considered offensive to Mooselambs in any way. It's reached the point where many are saying free speech has been seriously curtailed in cases where even the slightest perception of anything anti-Mooselamb is concerned. Of course, we have a similar situation developing in places like Dearborn, MI., although it hasn't reached that point. Well, not yet anyway. IMO, one can't help but look at the Brits and say, WTF!! Are you blind, stupid, or both!! Is there such a thing as a national death wish? And if there is, do we have it as well?

Grace Slick is going to hell

Golden velvet robes on Pope Paul, he's
talking--he's stalking devils of flesh. Rides
through the streets instead of walking. I think
his holy story is a mess. All I did last Easter
all I did was paint some eggs. It was a
resurrection holy day-- no more nails in the holy
legs. Only one true holy book in your hand.
Singing in latin nobody understands. Licking
wafers paper thin.

Ah, stupid christian isn't it grand? Is that your
reason for this day? Do you have a little
something holy you'd like to say? Something about
a magic, sacred, holy day. You look holy and
humble on your knees, but it looks funny when you
run that way. Pope Paul taking all your money for
turning your feet into clay (pigeon).

One man of peace dies, and a hundred wars begin.
You keep murdering people in his christian name--I
thought he said--I thought he said that was a sin.
Soldier where have you been? What is your reason
for this day? Do you have a little something holy
you'd like to say to me? Something about a magic,
sacred, holiday. All I'm going to do this
easter--I'm just going to look for eggs. It's a
resurrection holy day--no more nails in the holy
legs. No more brains in the christian.

My calculator MUST be broken!

OK, we heard, again last week, from Mr. Obama that the RICH (i.e. anyone making over $250K) don't pay enough taxes.
.
But his / their income was reported today and on an income of $1.7 million, they paid $453K. But that's only 26% of their income. IS that ENOUGH?!
.
And BTW, not that it matters, but IF we had NOT bought this house this year, WE would have paid more than that!! Don't take this wrong, I'm not a proponent of scaled taxes, but how is it that THEY pay less taxes at their level than me and Mrs. Schteveo, and HE's the tax the rich guy?
.
Here's how.

It's like the Obamacare Waivers. He's ONLY for soaking people who don't agree with him politically!!

Steal Something from Work Day

Of all the idiot, anarchist ideas floating around today, this one goes to the top for me.
.
Before anyone gets up-in-arms, this is not a call for you to steal from work. It’s an article saying that most of you already steal from work. It is a piece attempting to shine a light on why such a large percentage of the workforce breaks the law in such a socially unacceptable manner. Acceptable methods of breaking the law are running red lights and refusing to vaccinate children.

Steal Something from Work Day is a small movement. Its Facebook group has little more than five hundred members and, regardless of how many are anonymous participants are out there, it would be naïve to think of SSWD as a mass movement. People that actually steal from work are the mass movement.

According to the US Chamber of Commerce, over 75 percent of employees steal from their workplace. And National Retail Security shows that almost 50 percent of lost retail merchandise can be traced back to employees. This raises the question:

Are workers in the United States just a bunch of thankless thieves?

CrimethInc. Ex-Workers’ Collective is trying to answer that question by spearheading an awareness movement through this new holiday. While, for some, the goal is to get their own few proverbial miles out of the corporate jet, for others, it is simply a symbol. It is a statement aimed at employers that are stealing from their labor pool by refusing to pay them a fair amount.

Why is this necessary? It’s necessary because many of you have forgotten that labor is a voluntary service and that a job interview is just as much an assessment of the employer as it is of the employee. It’s a mutual relationship that has been bastardized by bare-bones wages in a market where there simply aren’t enough jobs to go around. In a culture that prides itself on soul-sucking, endless labor that makes everyone feel guilty for every day that they don’t produce, produce, produce, employers know that you need the job more than they need to hire you. So, you get paid dirt and treated like eels.

Actually, eels get better treatment. They don’t have to work.

For example, Best Buy, as a whole, makes over $300,000 per employee every year. If one of those employees makes $20,000 a year, working 160 hours a month, they are not only getting less than 10 percent return on their labor, but they’re really only being paid for about ten to twenty minutes of the time they work each day, depending on how many hours they put into each shift. When it is acceptable for someone to work an eight hour shift and get paid for ten minutes of it, it’s pretty obvious that every day at Best Buy is Steal from Your Employees Day. While they’re not the only offenders, they are particularly egregious in their constant hunt for impressionable teenage minds that lack any knowledge of labor rights and legal consent.

.
15% of all employee theft is prosecuted. I hope ANY businesses that catch their employees stealing today especially, send them to jail as LONG as they can legally!!!
.
I do so LOVE that last paragraph.
.
Best Buy MAKES $300,000 per employee?

.
I guess, in a sense, they do get that turn over of money to employee. But FOR that money they buy products for resale, build buildings, buy equipment to run the stores, pay the utility companies to light, heat and cool said stores, they buy trucks and pay for fuel to deliver those products...And YES...Best Buy even pays those crappy, small salaries. But there's a problem here with this little tirade.
.
Best Buy is all but BANKRUPT!!!
.
So, just maybe, they needed to make $325K per employee, huh?! Just how stupid do you have to be to think that your employer can absorb his daily costs AND your theft of his property? If your employer goes under, say places like Best Buy, HOW WILL THOSE idiots that helped torpedo them, via theft today, pay their bills next month? I guess they could just STEAL enough money to cover their debts. But what happens if someone steals YOUR stuff while YOU are out stealing?!! You just have to go steal more stuff?!
.
I repeat what I have said before. I hope stupid people taste good. If they are going to ACT like cattle, or sheep, they'll wind up being treated LIKE cattle, or sheep.
.
MOOO, BAAAAH, wait WAIT don't shoot...OWWW, ouch....chop chop...sizzle, munch...ummmm...tasty! From useful idiots to tasty idiots in a few small steps.

You can't get lost in a crowd anymore







FASCINATING (And a little SCARY)!!! You used to be able to get lost in the crowd, but not anymore. Double click on any area in the picture to bring the person closer. Or, just click the mouse and use the mouse wheel to bring them closer. This is scary -- kinda puts an end to the old saying, "you can get lost in the crowd." This just happens to be a photograph of the 2009 Obama Inauguration. Look at this technology! You can see IN FOCUS the face of EACH individual in the crowd!!! You can scan and zoom to any section of the crowd ... wait a few seconds ... double click anywhere ... and the focus adjusts to give you a very identifiable close up The picture was taken with a robotic 1474 megapixel camera (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera). Everyone attending could be scanned after the event, should something have gone wrong during it. Click on: http://gigapan.org/viewGigapanFullscreen.php?auth=033ef14483ee899496648c2b4b06233c

Friday +2 funnies

got this from my Father in Law A DC 'airport ticket agent' offers some examples of 'WHY' our country is in trouble!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)


2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ..''


Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa .''


His response -- click..


3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.


He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG)


4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''


I said, ''No.''


She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)


5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas ... When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)


6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.


I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.


7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'


He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''



After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..


8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii .. After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''


9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''


I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''


10 Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''


I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane.


She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''


11 Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. "Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''


I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''


12 A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''


I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''


'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.


After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."


''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''


So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''


The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''


Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!


Could ANYONE be this DUMB?



YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

More on Bill's Posting About 'Atlas Shrugged'.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find out that the (typically leftist, Obama loving, America hating Michael Moore / Sean Penn praising) movie reviewers are panning the new movie, "Atlas Shrugged"!!
.
But I thought Hollywood LOVED a new story, something classic, the 'man against the world', 'winner take all', 'under dog makes good', stories!(?)http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
.
You are wrong, Grasshopper!!!
.
Few authors have as many fans (and detractors) as the late Ayn Rand. The author of "The Fountainhead," "Anthem," and "Atlas Shrugged" was also the founder of a philosophical movement known as Objectivism.

Some argue the philosophy is simply an excuse to be selfish, but defenders of Rand say that's what leads to the greatest productivity. Rand's landmark novel, "Atlas Shrugged" focuses on that belief and it is still among the best-selling and most influential books in history. Many, including Rand Paul, call it an inspiration. The tea party politico from Kentucky recently brought up the writer in Congress. Now the controversial novel is coming to the big screen -- at least, part of it is.

Now, about those reviews. So far they aren't too good. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gives the movie one star out ofhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif four, writing, "I suspect only someone very familiar with Rand’s 1957 novel could understand the film at all, and I doubt they will be happy with it." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gives the flick zero stars, and says the film "sits there flapping on screen like a bludgeoned seal." Kyle Smith of the New York Post is a bit more kind, saying the film "contains a fire and a fury that makes it more compelling than the average mass-produced studio item."

Some might say it's the movie President Obama doesn't want you to see. Others, namely critics who have already seen it, just say it's a movie you're better off skipping.

.
Huh?
.
Mr. Obama, a guy who is the SECOND black President, doesn't want us to see this movie? Why not? This should be his story, right? A guy with no father, few chances in life, making it on his own grit, determination, and had work!(?)
.
(Grasshopper, is your BS alarm going off yet?)
.
OF COURSE the left HATES this movie!! It's about INDIVIDUALS working for their own best interest. It's about government getting it's foot OFF the neck of the producers. It's about letting the best and brightest, USE their abilities to improve the world, instead of relying on the 'group dynamic' that is dragging us ALL into the idiotarian thinking that their IS group salvation that we have to work toward!!
.
There's a very simple concept at work in this story. And I do get that Ayn Rand was looking at the individual, working for their OWN best interest. But, there is a simpler concept than that to be gleaned, IMHO.
.
How many people EVER got a job working FOR a poor person, who is drawing AFDC, WIK, welfare checks, who is living in Section 8 Housing, who didn't finish high school, who more than likely has a felony conviction, or two...just HOW many people will THIS person hire next year?
.
And the gub'ment employees that throw money to that 'entitled' person do NOT count as employees. So how many people will that person hire?
.
The left always talks about BIG Business, but truth is, every business out there started out as a 'Mom & Pop'. Even Henry Ford started out working for himself P/T, in his garage, one 'quadracycle' at a time. Before he ever hired his first employee.
.
(Ford BTW, was the only car manufacturer to NOT take a bailout last year)
.
The point is that NO business ever became a big business without CREATING new and more jobs. The Ford Family still runs FoMoCo. They do NOT build all the cars themselves. Personally, I'm rooting for the underdog, even if Roger Ebert and Rolling Stone(d) doesn't.
.
Wait, wasn't Rolling Stone(d) started by JUST two guys, with borrowed money, who employ thousands of people NOW? No government grants? No subsidies? No price supports? No government insurance?
.
Huh? but, didn't they, these are rich guys, who...huh? Wait...I guess...I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find out that the (typically leftist, Obama loving, America hating Michael Moore / Sean Penn praising) movie reviewers are trying to keep ME from achieving precisely what THEY DID!!

How stupid are people?

I understand jokes. I happen to be a very funny guy. But I don't get WHY adults, seemingly educated adults, do NOT understand that you cannot put anything on Algore's interwebs and keep it a 'secret'.
.
Here's another instance where some 'adult' thought they could send a racial charged joke out and NOT have it go to global. Stupid.
.
Marilyn Davenport, a Tea Party activist and member of the Orange County Republican Party’s central committee, is drawing fire from people in her own party after circulating a racist email depicting President Barack Obama and his parents as chimpanzees. In the email: “Now you know why — No birth certificate!”

The OC Weekly broke the story and were able to reach Davenport for comment. Her response:

"Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people–mostly people I didn’t think would be upset by it.”

.
.
.

.
.
OK, I don't think it's funny. But NOT because of the 'racial' overtones. I don't think it's funny, because it's not. What's funny is Ms. Davenport's defense of her stupidity.
.
"...mostly people I didn’t think would be upset by it."
.
Yeah, seriously, I doubt your friends are as dumb and as you are Marilyn. Or at least, I HOPE they aren't that dumb!
.
Who knows, to offset this in the MSM, maybe Bill Ayers will send a PhotoShop'd picture of a mushroom cloud over the Pentagon, to Obama and it will 'leak' to the Tea Party.

The Plan To Destroy America

I have always been of the opinion that the destruction of my country and my way of life by the Left is not some coincidence or unrelated group of events. Rather, it's been a well-conceived, highly-orchestrated, deliberate, plan that has been in effect for many, many years, and IMO, has done, and continues to do, a "great" deal of damage. Of course, if you're part of the Left, then you believe everythings going according to plan. A bit too slow perhaps, but other wise just fine since you know the Left controls most of the government, the media, the entertainment industry, (combined they control most of what we see, read, and hear) academia on all levels, and the Communist-inspired labor movement, all of which give the Left the ability to manipulate public opinion almost at will.

The link below is a speech given in 2004 by Richard Lamm, hard-core Leftist Demoncrat and former governor of Colorado. When you read this six year old speech, you realize it could be today's paper that you're reading. It's that accurate. It was, IMO, yet another warning the people (and the Right) ignored. I must admit that i hadn't seen this before, or perhaps, i don't remember reading it. (that kinda stuff happens when you start gettin old) Of course, in any other country, Gov. Lamm would have been put against a wall, blindfolded, and given a cigarette, after making such a public speech. But this is America where we love, support, and protect our enemies and more often than not, invite our own destruction...

It's 13:48, and Obama is speaking...

It took 23 minutes to get TOO the tax cuts, needs, rich need to pay more, ss/dd part of the speech

here are my running thoughts

commitments, commitments, commitments, we can't cover because the rich don't pay enough won't happen while he's in WH

(I feel SOO safe among the commie elite, says BHO)

change, change, change... (yeah, more of those huh?)

$4 trillion reduction over 12 years, cuts spending across board

(but if we're spending trillions yearly, it's still more debt)

core investments same old same old...win the future

find savings in defense budget!!??

(oh yeah, let's cut that, not able bodied people who have NEVER worked)

military revue vs missions and capabilities (OK) (but how)

he's gonna reduce medical costs, with commissions, task forces, keep us healthy, keep us from getting hurt (nanny state)

the Independent Commission will have power to do change the budget???

(and how do they get said power? THAT's not in MY Constitution))

strengthen SS, don't slash benefits (how)

UH OH Itemized Deductions!!! He's going after them!!!

(but just for the 'rich') (hey, isn't that how income tax started too?)

wants to redo the tax code, make the rich pay

(the fair tax would be good, but I ain't holding my breath)

but reduce taxes for corporations

(but aren't they 'the rich'?)

Debt Failsafe


his plan will require further cuts if deficit isn't reduced by 2014

(yeah, after you're gone we can fix all this)

finally, I want to soak the rich!! (back to that huh?)


Holy Jesus, I just realized, he's just running for 2012!! That's all this was

(BFD!)


hell I give up on the running thing...nothing new here, move along...these are not the droids you're looking for...


I chopped the majority of this off above. It's just the same shit from him, on a different day. I've heard it before and I'm headed out to buy a shotgun. I was going to wait, but screw it, I'm going now.

The Brady Campaign People SUCK

Here's why they suck today!
.
It’s been more three months since Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and 18 others were gunned down in a Tucson parking lot. In an effort to remind people of the tragic events, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence released a dramatic new ad today using imagery from the deadly attack.
.
One of the Tucson shooting victims was 9-year-old girl, and that’s not a coincidence. The gun-control advocacy group wants lawmakers to outlaw high-capacity clips, just like the one suspect Jared Loughner allegedly used, to bolster their argument.

The ad says, “A magazine that allows a gun to fire 32 shots in 16 seconds is good for only one thing: killing a lot of people fast; and that’s something we can live without. Assault clips: they make everyone a target.”

.
NOW, go watch the Ad over at PMSNBC.
.
I sent them a nasty note, saying it's a cheap shot to make people think a target like that EVEN exists!! And that they need to work on getting people like the AZ shooter off the streets as certifiable NUTS, not certifiable GUN owners!
.
They sent me a nice pre-written 'form' e-mail asking how much I'd like to donate!!?

...and speaking of outer space...

I remember this like it was yesterday. My parents and grandparents, glued to the TV, listening to WALTer CronKITE.
.
I definitely remember them talking about the weight of a man, and how hard it would be to drop a bomb, weighing just the weight of a man about 175 lbs or so, accurately from that height.
.
108 mins that stunned the world

.
His 108-minute flight into space 50 years ago set new a horizon for humanity and overnight turned a farmworker's son named Yuri Gagarin into one of the century's heroes.

But half a century after his exploit captured the world's imagination and fueled a space race with the United States, Russia has found it necessary to release top secret archives to counter persistent rumors that Gagarin was later murdered on the orders of jealous or paranoid Soviet rulers.

"Gagarin once said: 'To me my whole life seems to be one perfect moment,'" recalled veteran Soviet space journalist Vladimir Gubarev earlier this month.

The 27-year-old's single Earth orbit on April 12, 1961 was one of the Soviet Union's most enduring Cold War victories and is proudly remembered today, especially in the cosmonaut town that is the heart of the nation's space program.

Star City, the world's oldest space-flight training center, resembles in many ways a shrine to the first man in space, whose premature death in a mysterious plane crash seven years after his flight cemented a poster-boy status.

Visitors on a rare open day were greeted by a lone statue of Gagarin dominating the snowy paths between worn buildings scattered behind a perimeter fence in a pine forest outside Moscow like some isolated university campus

.
When I think of what a waste of time NASA has become, I'm sick to my stomach. We let the Moon slip away, IMHO, because people were too busy with the beginnings of the self-importance craze we now live in. The question then became, and remains,
.
"...but what does it mean for ME, ME, ME?"
.
or the ever popular,
.
"...but what about all that money WASTED for a few pounds of moon rocks?
.
Shouldn't we spend it on some...Poor, blind, black, Amer-Asian Teaching Center, WHEAT AND OAT SUBSIDY, Native American, wolf breeding, Bee Pollen Research, Fart Fly Eradication, Purple Peckered Yellow Bellied Newt, blah, blah, blah, MY PET idea that should RIGHTFULLY be a FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECT!?!"
.
Well, plenty of everyday stuff is NASA Spin-Off Technology. That site is just a few of the things.
.
But here's my question. How many of the "wasted money / moon rocks" types has a kid that got a medical diagnosis from an MRI or CAT Scan? How many people used their cell phone to call an ambulance that saved someone's life?
.
Like your laptop? The battery and many of the guts had NASA or military uses first, meaning the R&D was done with federal money. Oh well, on days like this, I am CERTAIN that I was born 100 years too LATE.

Finally, The Truth?

Like the rest of you, i've been hearing stories of flying saucers ever since i was a kid. Personally, i did, and still do, believe those stories. Besides, Capt. James T. Kirk wouldn't lie. As i got older, i refused to accept the possibility that God had such a cruel sense of humor as to make we humans the only "intelligent" life forms, and we being so arrogant that we believed it. Now perhaps, the truth.

It seems the FBI, with a legal shove from the Freedom of Information Act, has finally decided to open some of it's most secret files from the past. Among other things, there are memos about UFO's, with many reports coming from people who weren't known for wearing tin-foil hats. I haven't visited this new FBI web site yet, so i don't know exactly what's there, but i plan to find out. For example, do they finally reveal what J. Edgar Hoover's favorite color lipstick was, or if he preferred high-heels to flats? And of course, there are still millions of people who would love to know who actually killed JFK, although i seriously doubt they'll find anything different there other than the official bullshit story spewed by the infamous Warren Commission. I don't need to check that, since i've always known it wasn't Oswald.

So, if you've got a bit of bloodhound in you, check out this new FBI site and see what you can learn, if anything. Hey, maybe we'll finally find out what happened to Annie/Kim, our MIA-Mommy, and all the other ladies who used to come here...

Ideology? Really?

I've often wondered if all these Leftist nitwits really believe the political crap they spew. I know many do it simply for the attention, but there are also those who are true believers, especially out there in Commiewood. Here in Brooklyn, NY, we have the largest community of Russian immigrants in the country. Many of them will tell you that today, if you want to find true Communists, don't look to Russia, look to Hollywood.

Now we see Oprah Winfrey, the billionaire goddess of Affirmative Action, who has gained fame and mega-wealth for doing, well, i'm not really sure what she actually does. She was the closest, strongest, supporter both Mr. and Mrs. Obummer had in the last election. And now? Well, it seems the "Big-O" has given up her loving support for, you guessed it, TV ratings. You see, The Big-O recently started her own cable network in the hopes of picking-up another Billion. But alas, it seems her ties to the Marxist-in-Chief may be costing her viewers, which, in TV land = $$$. And Oprah ain't havin none of that, not when she has plans of being Queen of The World. (will she share the throne with the true anti-Christ, George Soros?)

But, not to worry. I'm sure the Big-O will still do everything she can to make sure the Obummer's are inflicted on this nation once again. But this time, unlike the last campaign, she'll have to stay out of the spotlight, something Mrs. Obummer is probably happy about. Profits or ideology. Profits or ideology. Hmmm... Decisions, decisions...

Are you KIDDING me!!

Well, I was about to take a road trip with Mrs Schteveo, but we're holding off because gas is FOUR DOLLARS A FRIGGIN' GALLON!!! Plus, I'm sticking close to home if the government is about to shut down. It may seem like over reaction, but I simply do not trust the powers that be. to keep being the powers that be.
.
Having said that about gas and gub'ments, guess who IS still planning a short vacation?

FAA sets up no-fly zone for Obama's planned trip to Williamsburg

.
The leader of the free world may be coming to Williamsburg for some rest and relaxation if Congress is able to come to agreement on the budget. President Obama and the First Family are planning to visit the area this weekend in what the White House described Wednesday as a "long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg."

But the trip might get grounded if a government shutdown can't be averted by Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

On Thursday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration established a no-fly zone over Williamsburg that will be in place from Friday through Monday. Jessica Wharton, spokeswoman for the Newport News-Williamsburg International Airport, said the no-fly zone will not affect the arrival and departure times at the airport for this weekend.

.
Awww, don't you feel sorry for the President? How does he fit in work, with this travel schedule? He's gotta have jet lag, flying around that much! Seriously, what's he working now 16, 17 days a month? He can't be working much more than that, because every time I turn around there's an article about him going on a trip somewhere!!!
.
What a crock of unalterable, arrogant shit is HIS attitude toward us here in fly over!!
.
Remember that old Frank Capra film, "Mr Smith goes to Washington? If they ever make a flick about THIS administration they can call it,
.
"Mr Arrogance goes Everywhere!, subtitle, ON OUR DIME!!"
.
The Jerk.

So That's Why ?

Have you ever wondered why most of the country's Leftist loons come from Mexifornia? Well, now you know why. Scientists have now found that it's not only liberalism that causes brain damage, but their traffic mess as well.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — New research suggests that pollution in Southern California may be harming our brains. We already know that pollution can do harm to our lungs, but research from the University of Southern California suggests that residents here are even worse off thanks to our traffic-polluted freeways. “It’s not like what you see in smog and the days when you don’t get to see the mountains,” says Todd Morgan a researcher with USC referring to the type of pollution investigated in the study. Researchers looked at the smallest of particles that are not visible to the naked eye.

Air samples were taken from the 110 Freeway near USC and exposed to mice over a 10 week exposure period, over about 150 hours. The results showed brain damage — keeping neurons from developing — which could eventually lead to memory loss, even developmental disorders in children. According to researchers there is suggestive evidence, it could happen to us too. “I’m hoping that with further research, we can perhaps be able to figure out additional ways of lowering the effect of these particulates, other than just staying away from traffic because that’s really not doable,” says Morgan.

Beck to ‘Transition Off’ Daily TV Program
.
Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, Glenn Beck’s production company, are proud to announce that they will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News’ digital properties. Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year.

Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of Fox News said, “Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody’s standards. I look forward to continuing to work with him.”

Glenn Beck said: “I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and Fox News. I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I’ve learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership.”

Joel Cheatwood, SVP/Development at Fox News, will be joining Mercury Radio Arts effective April 24, 2011. Part of his role as EVP will be to manage the partnership and serve as a liaison with the Fox News Channel.



Roger Ailes said: “Joel is a good friend and one of the most talented and creative executives in the business. Over the past four years I have consistently valued his input and advice and that will not stop as we work with him in his new role.”

“Glenn Beck” is consistently the third highest rated program on cable news. For the 27 months that “Glenn Beck” has aired on Fox News, the program has averaged more than 2.2 million total viewers and 563,000 viewers 25-54 years old, numbers normally associated with shows airing in prime time, not at 5pm. “Glenn Beck” has dominated all of its cable news competitors since launch.

.
I'm going to miss THIS hour of my day, I'll tell you. Beck has been a clarion for Americanism and Americans. One of damned few that I currently know of.

F.Y.I.

Some of the country's biggest companies have had their computer systems hacked into. So far, they "claim" no personal, sensitive info has been lost. We'll see...

Better Late than Never, Friday Funny

An Israeli Sense of Humor at UN sets the record straight.

A representative from Israel began: ‘Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses:

When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, ‘What a good opportunity to have a bath!’

Moses removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished.

A Palestinian had stolen them!

The Palestinian representative at the UN jumped up furiously and shouted, ‘What are you talking about? The Palestinians weren’t there then.’

The Israeli representative smiled and said, ‘And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech…’

HE has spoken!!!

When I was a kid, some 11,000 years ago, I was taught that WE are all Americans, and as such, WE were all (supposed) to play by and live by the same rules. I noticed as I got older that our elected offals routinely exempted themselves from more and more of the rules that THEY made for (only) US. I'm not sure when it started, but it just keeps going, which is IMHO, total bullshit.
.
In the midst of forcing stiffer CAFE Standards and higher fuel prices on US, the ultimate leader, OBAMA, has decided to exempt HIS car from those standards!!
.
What's that officer, "Nothing new here, move along" uh huh MY ASS!!! I'll go when I'm through talking!!

Presidential limousine, security vehicles exempt from fed 'green' vehicle policy
.
The U.S. Secret Service said today that some federal vehicles for law enforcement and security purposes will be exempt from President Barack Obama's directive that all federal vehicles purchased starting 2015 be advanced technology models.

Secret Service spokesman Robert Novy said the directive wouldn't apply to vehicles used for some law enforcement or security reasons by various federal agencies.
.
"Certain specialized vehicles including those with law enforcement and security specifications are not subject to this directive," Novy said.

That would include the GM-built Cadillac presidential limousine and other vehicles in the motorcade. It also expected to include many law enforcement vehicles.

Obama announced the plan this week to "green" the federal fleet.

"I'm directing our departments and our agencies to make sure 100 percent of the vehicles they buy are fuel-efficient or clean energy cars and trucks by 2015.Not 50 percent, not 75 percent — 100 percent of our vehicles," Obama said today at an appearance in Landover, Md., at UPS facility to urge private companies to green their vehicle fleets.

Obama noted that the federal government has more than 600,000 vehicles — the largest fleet in the United States — and has doubled the number of hybrids in its fleet over the last year — though they still account for less than 5 percent of government vehicles.

.
The only word I can find is, 'typical'.
.
In the end, the ONLY thing Mr. Obama cannot exempt himself from is public opinion. But, George Soros, in the guise of Media Matters, is attempting to shut down the ONLY dissenting voice in media, Fox News. At the same time, the left wants Net Neutrality, which puts THEM in charge of internet content.
.
The last time a government tried this hard, this fast, to keep honest people from knowing the truth, there were arm bands, zig heils and furnaces involved! November 2012 simply CANNOT come too fast to suit me!!
