Luckily for the Guido an Guidette bunch, Snooki, who was seen at the bash with her new boyfriend Emilio Masella, took to her official twitter to assure fans that she came out of the Sony Building in NYC unharmed

Marie Osmond's Son's Final Words


Being a child of a celebrity has pressures most of us don’t have to deal with. I don’t think it’s an easy thing to deal with. It seems like many celebrity children have ruinous lives and those that are well grounded seem to be the exception.

People Magazine reports:

Moments before he apparently leapt to his death Friday, Michael Blosil text messaged a female friend to alert her to a suicide note he had left in his downtown Los Angeles apartment.

According to a TMZ report, around 9 p.m. Blosil sent a text to the friend, a fellow resident of the Met apartment building with whom he had planned to spend time that night.

When she arrived at his eighth-floor apartment, Blosil's roommates – who hadn't known anything was wrong – let her in. They recovered the note, in which Blosil, a student at the nearby Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising majoring in apparel manufacturing, had written about being incredibly unhappy.

He also talked about "things he would be doing for the very last time," the TMZ report says, and called the woman "his only good friend in L.A."

The Real Reason Why Patrick Kennedy is Leaving Congress


The Kennedys are American’s royal family!

Or that’s how Liberals have carefully crafted this myth for over 60 years. It’s all a media-crafted bill of goods to sell an image for a political agenda, namely, Liberalism.

If a Kennedy was involved in a piece of legislation, it had to be good for the country. You know, like that ObamaCare thing.

However, the Kennedy mystique was really built on illegality, oh like Joseph Kennedy’s bootlegging activities during Prohibition.

Joseph Kennedy committed many sins!

And the penalty for those sins of the father has visited each successive generation.

The National Enquire reports:

The untold shocking story behind why Patrick Kennedy has forsaken Congress - to help his mother Joan, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's ex, battle her booze-driven demons.

That's the heartbreaking family secret behind Congressman Patrick Kennedy's decision to quit politics - he's leaving public life to care for his troubled mother Joan.

Patrick went through rehab as recently as this past July, when he checked himself into a facility because he said he was showing signs of a relapse.

Joan - who was married to Ted from 1958 to 1983 - had her stomach pumped after being rushed to a hospital the night the senator died, sources told The ENQUIRER.

Chile Quake Prompts Tsunami Warnings for Hawaii


From The New Times:

A deadly 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck central Chile early Saturday, collapsing buildings, shattering major bridges and highways across a long strip of the country, and sending tsunami warnings along the entire Pacific basin.

The director of the National Emergency Agency, Carmen Fernández, said that 147 people died so far, according to local news reports. The death toll was expected to rise, particularly around Concepción, Chile’s second-largest metropolitan area, which is roughly 70 miles from the quake’s center.

There, cars were overturned, rubble fell into the cracked streets and a 15-story building collapsed, news agencies and the Chilean news media reported. In Santiago, the capital, which is about five hours to the north and about 200 miles from the epicenter, frightened residents felt the city shake for nearly 90 seconds. Car alarms pierced the air during the night and early morning hours.

But while there were long lines at supermarkets and gas stations, the capital city, according to residents there, was mostly calm by the late afternoon Saturday. That was a far different picture from the devastation that rocked Concepción, five hours away. More than two dozen significant aftershocks struck the country and President Michelle Bachelet declared a “state of catastrophe.” She said later in the day that officials were not yet able to determine the full extent of the damage.

Far Left Site-Think Progress Smears Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) What else is new?


Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) does this interview with Lib blogger Mike Stark who in the below video. Stark, like all Libs mischaracterizes Rush Limbaugh as a hater, like all Libs usually do because they never want to discuss substantive issues.

Why bother when name calling and misrepresentations will do?Frank makes an impassioned criticism on the devastating consequences of abortion, particularly in the Black community where 50% of potential Black babies are aborted.

Of course like a typical lib, the substance of what Frank is saying has no impact on Stark who continues on his agenda.

But, Alex Seitz-Wald of Think Progress takes the deception even further by misrepresenting that Frank said Blacks were better off during slavery.

Frank doesn’t even come close to saying that. And even Stark himself doesn’t react to what Frank actually said by asking directly, “Are you saying Blacks were better off during slavery?” That would’ve been the logical follow up question if that was what Frank was trying to say.

But, that question was never asked because Stark understood the analogy Frank was trying to make between what’s happening to the Black community today under legalized abortion that has taken 50 innocent lives since 1973.

It’s an American Holocaust that Liberals routinely sweep under the rug.

Nice try Think Progress, but no cigar.

Drunk as a Skunk Mon Throws Baby onto Concrete Floor in Australia (Video)


CCTV footage of a mother apparently throwing her baby onto a concrete floor has been released to media by an Australian judge.

The unnamed 21-year-old mother appears to throw the 10-month-old baby to the floor, allegedly in anger after an argument with her partner.
A man then tussles with the mother, who reports say was drunk, and attempts to remove the baby from her hands.
The incident occurred in the Palmerston bus exchange in the Northern Territory, Australia last May.

The mother is pleading not guilty to recklessly endangering serious harm to the child, claiming she dropped the child by accident.
The baby was taken to hospital, but suffered no major injuries.

Charles Rangel Gets Slap on the Wrist by Ethics Committee (aka Wolves Investigating a Wolf)


Did you really think Charles “Corrupt” Rangel was going to get more than, “Don’t do that again, Charlie!” from fellow low-lifes that make up the Ethics Committee?

This sham of an investigation might as well been done by the state of Iran trying to root out global terrorism.

This is an example of Nancy Pelosi’s promise to have the most ethical congress in history.

Rangel, a tax cheat, who’s Ways and Means Committee is responsible for writing the tax laws for the country, gets to keep his job even though he’s one of the most corrupt members in congress.

The New York Post reports:

Embattled Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel broke House rules and will get a "public admonishment" from the House Ethics Committee for taking corporate-sponsored junkets to the Caribbean.

In a report to be released today, the panel concludes the Democrat accepted the trips despite House rules that prohibit financing of lawmakers' trips by corporations.

The committee found that Rangel broke the House's gift rule by getting reimbursed for the junkets.

The panel also said two Rangel staffers were aware of the corporate funding. Onr of them, identified by Fox News as his former chief of staff, George Dalley, stepped down last year.

The committee told Rangel to pay back the cost of the trips.

Under House ethics rules adopted in 2007, lawmakers can't accept trips longer than a day from any corporation that employs or retains a registered lobbyist.

Asked whether going on the trip was a mistake, Rangel replied: "Hell no. Why would I [regret going] if it was approved by the Ethics Committee?"


Full Story

Let me get this straight.

Rangel hops on a plane and goes wherever, doesn’t reach into his pocket to pay for the ticket, or hotel room, but doesn’t know how it all got paid for?

Also, the very committee that authorized this junket which is a scam in itself to buy influence in congress, is the same committee who investigates Rangel for breaking House rules in the first place?

The joke is on all the American people because these are the politicians who are representing you and me and these Democrats will act as sleazy as they want because they know the fix is already in.

So much for ethics, Nancy!

Obama didn't even bother questioning Ryan's presentation. He changed the subject to Medicare Advantage. The expression on the president's face as Ryan made his case was absolutely priceless.

Gee, I think he this that doctors are supposed to treat cancer sufferers the same way you treat somebody with jock itch.

“People shouldn’t be segregated.” according to Sen Harkin.

Hurricane Katrina Survivors Speak Our Against Democrat Rep Gregory Meeks


Victom of Hurricane Meeks

Whenever Democrats uttered, “Hurricane Katrina” it was a slam against President George Bush and all Republicans for the aftermath of the tragedy that befell New Orleans, Louisiana on September 3, 2005.

If you enter the name “Katrina” in Google, you’d get over 27 million hits and the hurricane is the first item that appears in the search.

That event was a tailored made template for Democrats that reinforces the deception and perception that all Republicans are racists and that’s the reason Blacks should continue to support the Democrat party at a rate of 95% and higher all across the country.

All the news organizations were gladly abroad promulgating the Katrina template and it continues to this day and will continue forever!

It was all a lie!

However, there is another side to the Katrina story of how these same Democrats like Rep Gregory Meeks, a Black politician decided to take advantage of his own people that he promised to help.

He raised over $31,000 through phony non-profit he started and never sent suffering New Orleanderss the money.

Where is the major media now?

Or is Black on Black crime not worth the bother?

The New York Post reports:

Hurricane Katrina left them with nothing but hope -- but Rep. Gregory Meeks took even that away, stiffed New Orleans families told The Post.

"For those people to use our tragedy for their gain, it's sad," said Catherine Phipps, 48, one of the Katrina victims who was given empty promises of aid by the Queens Democrat.

"It makes me want to cry. They're going to have to answer to a higher being."

The Post located victims who have returned to New Orleans, and they spoke out yesterday for the first time about Meeks' broken promises.

"I had on a pair of flip-flops -- those were my only shoes," Phipps said.

"Candace had us fill out some forms and asked us to write down what we needed. I thought that was crazy because I didn't have anything -- no clothes, no food, nothing."

The aid that had been promised never came.

In fact, after providing Sandy with laundry lists of essential items they needed for survival, the families say they never heard from her or the charity again.
Gregory Meeks

Phipps, who now runs a small day-care center, said she and her family lost everything in the flood and were not able to move back into their Ninth Ward house until three years after the levees broke.

"My heart goes out to the people who thought enough about us to give that money -- unfortunately, it never made it to us," Phipps told The Post. "Everything we went through hurt like hell, and this is another
Full story blow."


Again, I ask why isn’t this story going national?

I don’t think Gregory Meeks is the only Dem pol who did this kind of thing.

What about the other members of the Congressional Black Caucus?

Maybe this story is too big to report?

David Benke, Teacher and American Hero


It warms the heart when a legitimate American hero steps up and puts his life on the line to save others in danger. David Benke doesn’t swing a bat for a living or score touchdowns on the football field.

He’s a math teacher.

An ordinary man who did the extraordinary in Denver Colorado, while maintaining a humble spirit.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

During regular emergency drills at Deer Creek Middle School in suburban Denver, math teacher David Benke always told himself and his students that, should something dire occur, he would try to protect them.

So when he spotted a rifleman shooting at students who were leaving school Tuesday, Benke didn't hesitate. "I made a promise," he said.

The 57-year-old teacher charged the gunman and knocked him to the ground. While an assistant principal grabbed the rifle, Benke and another teacher kept the shooter pinned until police arrived.

On Wednesday, a judge ordered the accused gunman, 32-year-old Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood, held on $1-million bail on suspicion of two counts of attempted murder. Two students were wounded -- one in the arm, the other in the rib and lung.

The Pealing of the Non Profit Onion


Hey what do you know?

Didn’t that Obama guy teach ACORN tactics, hmmm?

My rant about Democrats use of non-profits is beginning to catch fire!

Steve Malanga has a piece in today’s Post that lays out a history of who Dems learned their deceitful ways.

Can anybody say, Saul Alinsky?

ACORN's fruits
Billions to help pols, not the poor
By STEVEN MALANGA


ACORN may be fading away, thanks to government restrictions on its funding in the wake of the scandal in which its counselors advised undercover journalists on how to evade the law. But this does nothing to change the environment that propelled the radical activist group to national power.

ACORN is part of a huge network of nonprofits that continues to promote a big-government agenda in cities across America using taxpayer money. That network is alive and well today, even if ACORN itself dies.

This movement's roots go back to the godfather of community organizing, Chicago's Saul Alinsky, who in the 1930s envisioned local grassroots groups in poor areas that would mobilize residents into politically powerful coalitions.

In the 1960s, the architects of President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty decided to federalize the Alinksy model by sending billions of taxpayer dollars to community groups, with a vague notion that these would somehow "empower" residents in their neighborhoods and thus improve their lives.
Larry Seabrook: Indicted over sham non-profits

Instead, over time these nonprofits became the new political clubhouses in many areas -- and the activists who ran them became our next generation of politicians.

In New York, by the 1970s and '80s, the road to political office increasingly ran through taxpayer-funded nonprofits -- as politicians like Pedro Espada and Ramon Velez in The Bronx and Vito Lopez in Brooklyn used community groups as launching pads for political careers.

New York isn't unique. On Chicago's South Side, a young community organizer named Barack Obama launched a political career after heading up the Developing Communities Project, a social-service group that lived almost entirely off government grants.

Liberals Hatred Toward Black Conservatives Continues


Liberals hate Black Conservatives because they prefer to keep Blacks mentally enslaved and beholden uponthem.

I’ve frequently made this charge on this blog and for most of my adult life and there hasn’t been any Liberal Balck or White who cannot honestly prove me wrong.

As a Conservative of color myself, I shunned the “socialization” of how I was supposed to think years ago. But, for many others, the cost to pay in ridicule by fellow Blacks or people of color is too high.

So they stay “in the plantation of the mind” too afraid to think outside the box that was designed, built, and enforced by White Liberals—all in the name of caring for Blacks.

So to keep Blacks voting 95% Democrat, White Liberals have to remind the “mentally enslaved who your Friends, and who are your enemies.

The Weekly Standard reports:

Slate's The Root -- the portion of the website where they cordon off their African-American content -- has compiled a list of "Black folks we'd like to remove from black history." Some of the choices are funny (Dennis Rodman) some are head-scratching (the doctor who prescribed Michael Jackson his meds?) while others are downright offensive. The continuous pathology in the liberal black community to denigrate black conservatives as "not really black" continues apace here: Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, and Alan Keyes are listed alongside Idi Amin, Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier, and Robert Mugabe.

How Do Democrats Steal Your Money? Start a NPO


For the last several weeks I’ve written about a matter the MSM doesn’t want to report. It’s a story not only relevant to New York, but also across the country like New Orleans, Louisiana where a couple of New York Democrats, one a member of the House of Representatives named Gregory Meeks, and the other a New York state senator named Malcolm Smith, are both being investigated by the Feds
for allegedly not sending money raised by a non-profit organization (NPO) they created called New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families (NOAH-F) TO TO families in New Orleans affected by Hurricane Katrina.
See Story

What happened to the money is up to the Feds to determine. The bigger story is these two Democrats aren’t the only two shysters in the state, let alone the country.

For example in New York alone Larry Seabrook and , Maria Del Carmen are also under investigation for they use non profits, and Democrat City Councilman Miguel Martinez plead guilty to federal charges involving the misuse of taxpayer dollars through Council slush funds.
See Story

What’s needed here is the Justice Department to launch a country-wide probe into how Democrats are getting away with Grand Larceny by misusing taxpayer money through laundering funds through NPOs.

The NY Post reports:
Tracked down by The Post, Louis Rainey, the man chosen by Meeks to identify families that needed help, said the money that the Queens Democrat had promised never arrived.

"These people came down here, sold a good story and didn't deliver," said RainDemocratic Partyey, who was head of the Louisiana

Newly-seated Republican Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.) on Monday joined Democrats in voting to move forward on their $15 billion jobs bill.
Brown crossed the aisle after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) nixed an $85 billion, bipartisan plan in favor of a more narrowly-focused bill.

“I came to Washington to be an independent voice, to put politics aside, and to do everything in my power to help create jobs for Massachusetts families," Brown said in a statement. "This Senate jobs bill is not perfect. I wish the tax cuts were deeper and broader, but I voted for it because it contains measures that will help put people back to work."


Scott Brown, after all, is a politician. And all politics is local. At least he’s looking for his state which is a far cry from the two losers that represent me in New York.

Non Profit Scandal: Did 2 NY Dems Pocket Hurricane Katrina Money?

Malcolm Smith

Gregory Meeks

Rep Gregory Meeks, a member of the Congressional Black caucus, is under investigation for a familiar way CBC members love to steal taxpayer money by using non-profit organizations to hide their alleged dirty deeds in the name of helping people.

However, Greggie is not alone in the shenanigans; New York State Senator Malcolm Smith is also under suspicion for non-profit-money grabbing.

The New York Post reports:

Meeks' controversial charity, New Yorkers Organized to Assist Hurricane Families, is now under investigation by federal prosecutors.

According to its own filings, NOAH-F delivered just $1,392 of the roughly $31,000 it raised

"These people came down here, sold a good story and didn't deliver," said Louis Rainey, a former Louisiana Democratic political director who himself lost his home to Katrina.

"We didn't get the funds," Rainey told The Post.

"We never got a dime."

Meeks and state Sen. Malcolm Smith, also a Queens Democrat, established NOAH-F shortly after the storm to help 30 displaced families and made the new charity part of their previously organized New Direction Local Development Corp.

At the time, Meeks told the Times-Ledger, a Queens weekly, "Every dime, every dime, will go to these 30 families."

Full Story

In another story reported by The Post relating to the deceitful use of non-profits:

Rep. Gregory Meeks secured a $100,000 federal payout for a Far Rockaway community group whose executive director is a frequent campaign contributor.

The Queens Democrat -- now facing scrutiny for his ties to a controversial Hurricane Katrina charity, earmarked the funds for Ocean Bay Community Development Corp.'s job-training program in the 2010 spending bills, while his campaign pocketed $1,500 from Ocean Bay's executive director, Patricia Simon.

"It's a form a legalized bribery," said Melanie Sloan, of the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "Americans have to wonder if he is looking out for what is good for the country or good for his campaign coffers, and you really have no way to know."

The US Attorney's Office has launched a probe to find the missing money. The hurricane-relief effort was launched by a nonprofit group, New Directions Local Development Corp., founded by Meeks and state Sen. Malcolm Smith, also of Queens.

Both Meeks and Smith have said the New Directions was run by a board that made decisions about how its funds were used.

Colin Powell Doesn’t Regret Backing Obama-He’s Stupid


Colin Powell is a bitter turncoat that still has it out for George Bush and the Republicans over the war in Iraq. I don’t understand why the man still calls himself a Republican.

It was the Republican Party that put Powell on the map, but his petty bitterness continues over not admitting he made a huge mistake in backing Obama.

The Hill reports:

A veteran of the Bush administration, Powell was asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" about whether he had regrets in throwing his support behind Obama. "None whatsoever," Powell said.

"I think it was the right choice when the nation voted for him," the retired four-star general added. "He has done some things that have helped the nation a great deal," including stabillize the country's financial situation, "even though I'm not happy with all they have done."

What great things Obama has done besides spending money? Powell never explains and he really doesn’t make much sense in the interview other than to give an impression he’s studied Democrat talking points as a line of defense.

Too bad, because I used to have a lot of respect for Powell, but the man has gone off the deep end into Obama-mania.

Democrats Go Nuclear in 60 Days to Pass ObamaCare


Those pesky Democrats in the senate, at least the ones who haven’t announced their retirement, are choosing to pass ObamaCare by using the Nuclear Option, also known as reconciliation whereby only a simple majority of 51 votes gets the bill passed.

This is a very audacious move by the Dems who insist on passing a healthcare reform plan that will lead to inadequate care at the hands of an administration that loves to spend your money.

The Hill reports:

The move would allow Democrats to essentially go it alone on health reform, especially after losing their filibuter-proof majority in the Senate after Sen. Scott Brown's (R) special election victory in Massachusetts.

Republicans have protested the maneuver as a hyperpartisan tactic to ram through a health bill, and have said that plans to use the reconciliation process make moot a bipartisan summit at the White House this week, where both GOP and Democratic leaders are supposed to present their ideas on healthcare.

JWOWW Dissed by Jealous Kim Kardashian?


According to Fox News:

Sources say the reality stars shared an uncomfortable

Jersey Shore” sensation Jenni “JWOWW” Farley
apparently managed to do the unthinkable earlier this week – upstage reality darling Kim Kardashian at her very own fashion show. Farley sat front row at the debut of Kardashian’s new clothing line for Bebe Stores, entitled Bebe-Kardashian, but we’re told it was JWOWW who all the photographers were scrambling to snap and upon hearing of her presence a mob scene ensued.

“Honest to God, I don’t know if that’s just me being grounded, but I wasn’t even expecting to take one picture there,” Farley told Pop Tarts. “I just wanted to sneak in, sit down and watch it and maybe get to meet Kim, but when I walked in there was a lot of publicity. I took it the best way I could.”

So was it that Kimmy K was miffed and didn’t want to associate with the controversial “Jersey Shore” starlet? Or was she genuinely just too busy to say hi?

We’re told a handler for Farley reached out to Kim’s peeps several times throughout the show in the hope that the two reality ladies could meet, but the requests were shot down because “the spotlight” needed to stay on 29-year-old Kardashian.

There's nothing like a good cat fight to stir the blood!

Sarah Palin Talked About Job Creation More Than a Year Before the President Did


Look at how Sarah Palin answered this question correctly and how the mainstream media was to stupid to realize she was right all along.

What’s wrong with that answer?

Barack Obama spent a whole year spending this country into oblivion, because he’s a genius you know, and trying to pass a healthcare reform bill nobody wants, and is only now coming around to realize that his priority should have been jobs.

Sarah had it from the beginning!

Will anybody in the media acknowledge that she knew what she was talking about as the unemployment rate stands at 10?

Obama Caught Being Untruthful About Working for ACORN (New ACORN Video)


You know, it isn’t like I wake up in the morning saying, “Gee, I wonder if I can catch President Obama in a lie again.”

After all, if the president consistently told the truth whether it be about ObamaCare, his college records that he still won’t release, or not being at church whenever his former pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wight, said something outrageous, then my fingers can do something else besides having to point out that Obama’s nose is growing so large, Mexicans can use it to sneak across the border.

Gateway Pundit reports:
Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) from the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released this videoat CPAC of Barack Obama discussing his close partnership with ACORN.

Obama talked about his long relationship with ACORN privately in this video before the 2008 election.

One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992.

He worked along side ACORN before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees.

He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN.

His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts.

And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama in 2008


Don’t look for Andrea Mitchell or Chris Matthews to get to the bottom of this lack of transparency any time soon.

Alexander Haig Dies


I rember when Reagan got shot and Al Haig said that he was in control at the White House. The stupid mainstream media, who hated Reagan of course, mocked Haig for not knowing the constitutional line of succession of power. It was bogus,gutless and shameful attack on a great American hero!

Haig knew all along what the line was, but he wanted to assure the country and the world that the United States was still fully capable and functioning even though the president was down.

That was the type of of man Haig was--take charge, kickass, a leader, unlike the the wimps we have in charge now!

God rest your soul, Al.

Las Vegas Mayor Goodman Snubs President Obama


Remember those comments Obama lectured America about recklessly spending their hard earned money in Las Vegas like he knows what’s best for us?

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman hasn’t forgotten the damage Obama’s comments caused the convention business in Vegas which the city collects much needed revenues

ABC News reports:
Mayor Oscar Goodman not only skipped the airport when the president arrived Thursday night, he also turned down a White House invitation to personally meet with Obama.

"I have told some folks who have asked under what terms I would meet and I said, 'If he calls me and indicates he will rectify the situation,'" the mayor said at his weekly news conference Thursday afternoon, "and buys me a martini, then I would certainly honor that request."


Way to stand up for your city, Mr. Mayor!

I guess not every politico is afflicted with Obmam-mania.

5 Muslim Soldiers Arrestd at Fort Jackson For Attempting to Poison Food Supply


With college professors shooing up campuses in Alabama and disgruntled businessmen flying planes into a building in Texas, this very important story may fall through the cracks of the public’s attention.

Nonetheless, this may be the most important story of them all!

CBN News reports that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas.

It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base. The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson
.
Full story.

In addition , Fox News confirms the U.S. Army is investigating allegations that soldiers were attempting to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.

The ongoing probe began two months ago, Chris Grey, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, told Fox News.
The Army is taking the allegations “extremely seriously,” Grey said, but so far, "there is no credible information to support the allegations."

It’s high time that the Obama administration start doing some racial profiling of all out Muslim soldiers and not let political correctness dictate our actions.
It may save lives!

Plane Crashes into Austin IRS Office Building-Pilot Leaves Note


From the AP
A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service plowed his small plane into an office building housing nearly 200 federal tax employees on Thursday, officials said, setting off a raging fire that sent workers fleeing as thick plumes of black smoke poured into the air.

A U.S. law official identified the pilot as Joseph Stack — whose home was set on fire just before the crash — and said investigators were looking at an anti-government message on the Web linked to him. The Web site outlines problems with the IRS and says violence "is the only answer."

According to California Secretary of State records, Stack had a troubled business history, twice starting software companies in California that ultimately were suspended by the state's Franchise Tax Board.

In 1985, he incorporated Prowess Engineering Inc. in Corona. It was suspended two years later. He started Software Systems Service Corp. in Lincoln in 1995 and that entity was suspended in 2001. Stack listed himself as chief executive officer of both companies.

Obama’s Stimulus Sham


Yesterday on the one year anniversary of signing his 800 billion dollar stimulus package, President Obama breathlessly proclaimed his timely action averted another Great Depression.

Come, come Mr. President!

Have you no shame, let alone decency?

Do you still believe the majority of the American people are like the mindless dolts who yelled, “YES WE CAN!”?

Any fool can spend money, and it doesn’t even take a Harvard degree to do it.

But, since the president insists on repeating a false narrative meant to deceive the ill-informed, which by the way makes up 99.9% of his base, lets look at a real example of how the stimulus money was spent and how wasteful it was.

According to the New York Post:

New York has gotten 43,000 jobs since President Obama signed the stimulus law one year ago at a price of more than $500,000 per job, federal and state records reveal.

$500,000 per job?

Is this the president’s idea on how to efficiently spend taxpayers’ money?

On a prior post, Obama’s Economy For Idiots-He Gets an A+ for Wasteful Spending

I wrote:

Lets set aside for a moment that the “saved or created” statistics is pure hogwash like I’ve written about on my prior post.

If you look on the Recovery.gov website without laughing your head off, you'll see a chart that says that 207.54 Billion dollars have been spent thus far into the economy.

If the 1 million jobs save or created stat is true, which we know its not, but lets say it is, that means each job cost taxpayers $207,000 per job.

Do you really think these jobs are paying more than it took to save or create them?

This reminds me of the Geico commercials, “So simple, even a Caveman can do it.”

Well, it doesn’t take any experience as a community organizer, or even experience teaching constitutional law. Anyone can spend money foolishly, even presidents.
