Those With A Sweet-tooth; UNITE!

Maple Weekend, actually a two-weekend event this month, is expected to generate revenue for Rochester-area farmers. “We get about 10 percent of our revenue from these two weekends,” said Chuck Winship, owner of Sugarbush Hollow in East Springwater, Livingston County. Maple Weekend is an agricultural and tourism event in which 110 maple producers around the state invite visitors to come see and sample what they’re doing. Originally the event spanned two weekends so that maple producers in the North Country, where the sap flows about a week later than downstate, could get in on the action one of the weekends. But Winship said interest in visiting farms and sugar stands is so heavy that many producers are open both weekends to spread out the wealth. Sugarbush Hollow typically sees 1,200 to 1,400 visitors over both weekends, assuming the weather is favorable. “The majority of people who come visit us are from Rochester and Canandaigua,” Winship said. People come not only to sample and buy syrup or to walk on trails that Winship has developed, but also to partake in a pancake breakfast from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each of the four weekend days.

The Sunsa-bitches' "Smoke-screen"

U. S. Sen. Charles "Chuckie-Cheese" Schumer has sent a letter to AIG saying the company should either give up the bonuses or expect Congress to recoup the money through taxes.

Schumer, who was joined by Majority Leader "Scarry" Harry Reid and nine other Senate Democrats, told AIG to give up the bonuses or Congress would pass a “steep tax” to recoup the bonus payments.

“In America, we believe in rewarding success. AIG is attempting to reward the most extreme failure,” the letter said.

Schumer noted that AIG has received $170 billion in taxpayer funds to “stay afloat.” The bonuses totaled about $160 million. “If they don’t give the money back, we will put in place a new law that will allow us to tax these bonuses at a very high rate so that it is returned to its rightful owners—the taxpayers,” Schumer said from the Senate floor. “So, to those of you getting these bonuses, be forewarned: you will not keep them.”

[Does "Chuckie-Cheese's" proposed actions seem as UNCONSITUTIONAL to you as they do to me?? The congress is attempting to single out one segment of society to financially punish with the tax code!! If no one bitches, the slimy sunsa-bitches'll get away with it-given the protection of their exalted positions. It is so difficult for we commoners to file suit against any branch or even any department of the federal government that it borders on the "impossible!!" In his spiel, Chuckie said "In America, we believe in rewarding success." Whadda loadda SHIT that is!! Each and every successful American has fallen and will fall victim of the congress' confiscatory tax structure!! The democrat policy is to punish both the successful individual and the growing economy through the federal tax code. The more money they take in taxation, the less an individual or small business is inclined to invest in R & D, production, employment, etc!! While this is still a "Fluffy" smokescreen, we must pay attention to it. AIG received $170 billion in Porkulus funds; The AIG executives received $160MILLION in legal, contractual obligations-protected by {that slimy fascist} DODD AMENDMENT. Mathmatically speaking, the bonuses come in at a paltry .0094% LESS THAN one one-hundredth of one percent!! Don't forget that slimy bastard-DODD protected them by an "Act of Congress!!"]

Another Reason NOT To Hire Crooks

Although Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told congressional leaders on Tuesday that he learned of AIG's impending $160 million bonus payments to members of its troubled financial products unit on March 10, sources tell TIME that the New York Federal Reserve informed Treasury staff that the payments were imminent on Feb. 28. That is 10 days before Treasury staffers say they first learned "full details" of the bonus plan, and three days before the Administration launched a new $30 billion infusion of cash for AIG. "Treasury staff was informed about the new bonuses in a Feb. 28 memo that the March 15 [bonus-payment] date was upcoming," a Federal Reserve source tells TIME. A Treasury Department source, speaking on background, confirmed the e-mail memo and its contents, saying, "Everybody knew that [AIG] had a retention issue." The New York Fed even went so far as to warn Treasury staffers that the bonuses were a hot-button issue. In the past, the memo says, the "retention," or bonus, issue has drawn the attention of both Capitol Hill staffers and the media. The New York Federal Reserve forwarded further details of the plan to Treasury on March 5 and even more specifics in a March 9 memo, which Treasury officials had previously said was their first detailed warning of the bonus trouble.

[Had the "Crook of the Treasury" done his due-diligence, he would've had staff meetings and briefings in his first week as CotT. He should have demanded briefings especially on the various facets of the Porkulus Giveaway!! Remember: Once a crook-Always a crook... now he's added perjury to his list!!]

Is It Really A Sm0ke-screen? YES! SOCIALISM: A social system based on equality and social justice, once linked with common ownership of the means of production and distribution, but now become more fluid. Some writers consider that socialism is achieved when the major part of the means of production is owned by the state. In communist theory, socialism is the first stage on the road to full communism. It differs from communism in that it is attached to ethical and democratic values and because it allows both common and state ownership.

FASCISM: A right-wing nationalist ideology or movement with a totalitarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism. In ancient Rome, the authority of the state was symbolized by the fasces, a bundle of rods bound together (signifying popular unity) with a protruding axe-head (denoting leadership). As such, it was appropriated by Mussolini to label the movement he led to power in Italy in 1922, but was subsequently generalized to cover a whole range of movements in Europe during the inter-war period.

COMMUNISM: In its usually acknowledged form, a process of class conflict and revolutionary struggle, resulting in victory for the proletariat and the establishment of a classless, socialist society in which private ownership has been abolished and the means of production and subsistence belong to the community.

[Given the aforementioned definitions, ya better pick one.... the point where you'll get upset enough to try to stop Fluffy and the Handlers from going any farther, cuz we're on "the fast track!!" From now on, "look behind" what the teleprompter is having Fluffy say.... there you'll find the ulterior motive. This AIG crap is only THE CURRENT SMOKE-SCREEN!! Fluffy wants the public to focus on the current smoke-screen so we won't be upset about the administration's hard, fast swerve toward socialism!! Beware!! Be Aware!!]

Think We're NOT Swervin'? [Guess Again!]

The Missouri Information Analysis Center (a division of the state police) has compiled an enemies list of warning signs for state police officers, signs that are supposed to help them determine potential terrorists. Such signs include Ron Paul bumper stickers, or "Right to Carry" handgun stickers (I have to wonder: does it include Support Your Local Police stickers, too?) and our friendly state troopers are warned to proceed with extreme caution against such radicals.

Who is being targeted in this report? The state police are warned that Christians, "sovereign citizens", those opposed to abortion, tax revisionists, and anti-illegal immigrant advocates are potential would-be terrorists. Oh, and you better not fly your flag upside down; that was given as another example of something a terrorist would do.

Were this an isolated incident, it would be easy to dismiss. But couple this with some other politically motivated incidents, such as Fluffy's "truth squad" in which he encouraged the prosecution of people who protested him too aggressively (bear in mind he had St. Louis Prosecuting attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County`s Bob McCullugh on the squad, as well as a number of Democrats holding high positions in law enforcement statewide), along with Fluffy's proposal for a national militia trained and funded like one of the branches of the military, and you have a very disturbing trend here.

Does anyone remember the Democrats using Judge Evelyn Baker to keep the polls open late in St. Louis (a notorious Democrat stronghold) during the election of 2000? (Lacy Clay, then state senator, had promised days before the election to do just that.) It seems that there are some in this state who have no problem using the force of law to repress their enemies.

How long before we see this nationwide?

Where is the ACLU?
