This is a small glimps at the NYS government and how it really works, or better yet, how it doesn't work. This situation is in no way unique to NY. In fact, i think it would be fair to say that this is simply a small look at how our system of govt. works throughout the country, be it city, state, or federal. It is a system based on lies, corruption, and deceit, and a system that totally ignores the people, except when more money is needed. We The People have been relegated to the status of worker ants, whereby our function is to produce. Period!
Is this really what our Founding Fathers had in mind? Was it their intention that the people be treated as oxen, with no real voice in anything? Oh sure, we can bitch and moan and blog all we want, but do our rulers really listen, or even care unless it's an election year? Or, (as i believe) do we find ourselves mired in quicksand, not because of the lying crooks we have put in power, but because of the mindless American people who allow themselves to be manipulated. It becomes more clear each day that it really doesn't matter which party is in power, since they're both equally disastrous for this country and it's people. When you look at election results, and you see how tolerant the people are of their elected officials, the question for me becomes, do the people deserve any better, for if they did, would they not demand it?

Steelers to lose Super Bowl Trophies
Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be losing half of those trophies. After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Gadel and President Barack Hussein Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league.
“We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl.” said Obama “We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times.” Obama’s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. “The Detroit Lions are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well.” Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches and excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussein Obama’s plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL’s less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, “In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan.”
“My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league.” Obama assures. That’s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about losing any Super Bowl Trophies. “The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can’t seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title.” Obama promises. “We are a country and league of hope. We all need to make a change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league.”
The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again. The redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler’s division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate. Finally, one of the Steeler’s two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty. This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper.
All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans; Barack Hussein Obama has another plan in place. Obama has met with MLB and Commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan. The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their World Series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their losing 16 straight seasons and counting. This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream. Barack Hussein Obama will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for “Hope and Change.”
wow the DOW is down 300
is it because of:
a)Obama plan's to "rescue" Detroit?
b)Obama's 500 person European vacation?
c)North Korea is going to launch a missile to test Obama?
d) Obama plan to send more troops to the middle east, theyby keeping his pledge to bring the troops home?
e) George Bush?
Anon,
you made me spit ice water out of my nose.
Bill,
it's not GOOD that the DOW dropped, so it's Bush's fault.
Damn Bill, pay attention.
huh?
Now THAT is funny. Anan and I posting at the same time!
Actually it is good for me since I plan to fund my SEP later this week.
Bill / Anon,
I thought the Super Bowl thing was funny. I was drinking water, laughed some of it out of my nose. PLUS, I saw BLUE's comment, but put BILL, under mine. Brain fart!!
The simple, and infuriating, question I have for all my liberal friends is this,
"...is this the CHANGE you HOPEd for?"
It's dead on the money for questioning them, and seems pertinent alright, given the screwy shit coming out of the WH.
Steve, their answer will be YES. It's too soon for all that Kool-Aid to have worn off.
I received this medical tip from a friend; thought it might help you, too.
If you're bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, repeat the following phrase three times in succession when symptoms occur:
"My financial and personal well being are totally in the hands of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Geithner, Rahm Emmanual, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd."
If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, then you are probably destined to be full of it for the rest of your life.
NY Daily News,
3/31/09:
"Just as Chinese emperors of old imposed the Death of a Thousand Cuts, the New York State Democrats are proposing the Death of a Thousand Hikes.
Drafted in shameful secrecy, the new budget has a host of hikes that are incidental when taken one at a time:
A 500% hike in the surcharge on utilities, an average of $100 a year.
A $90 increase in the cost of health insurance.
A $1.20-a-month "public safety" tax on cell phones.
Another "public safety" surcharge: $10 a year on car insurance policies.
A 75-cent increase in the fee for a learner's driving permit.
A 24% hike in car registration fees.
A 4% increase in the tax on car service fares.
A 9% increase in the cigar tax.
A 58% increase in the wine tax.
A 27% increase in the beer tax.
Together, the increases are burdensome in already hard times, more so because the budget preserves as sacred $170 million in political pork."
