This'n'That; November Thirteenth #1; David vs. 'Slick?'

Remember When: Resume' Enhancements?
    Why is everyone in the National Pamphleteer corpse (for "Clown Prince" obama's benefit!) attacking General (Ret) David Petraeus for 'boinking' Paula Broadwell?!? 

When "Slick-Willie" Clinton was 'dipping his wick'--among other things-Anyone for a cigar?--into Monica Lewinsky's 'honey-pot,' the 'act' was considered a resume' enhancement.

Why the change in attitudes?!?  Is "Slick" any better than 'Dave?'  I think not!! "Slick-Willie"--until the advent of the "Clown Prince" obama Regime--was the most crooked administration on record. "Slick" was the most adept presidential liar--UNTIL the immaculation of "Clown Prince" obama--in American History!!

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; March 10th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 03/10/2012

District of Corruption
From Fridays' campaign stop,
Petersburg, Va
March 10, 2012
    Hi, everybody. I’m speaking to you this week from a factory in Petersburg, Virginia, where they’re bringing on more than 100 new workers to build parts for the next generation of jet engines.  It’s a story that’s happening more frequently across the country. Our businesses just added 233,000 jobs last month – for a total of nearly four million new jobs over the last two years. More companies are choosing to bring jobs back and invest in America. Manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s, and we’re building more things to sell to the rest of the world stamped with three proud words: Made in America.  And it’s not just that we’re building stuff. We’re building better stuff. The engine parts manufactured here in Petersburg will go into next-generation planes that are lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient.  That last part is important. Because whether you’re paying for a plane ticket, or filling up your gas tank, technology that helps us get more miles to the gallon is one of the easiest ways to save money and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.  The recent spike in gas prices has been another painful reminder of why we have to invest in this technology. As usual, politicians have been rolling out their three-point plans for two-dollar gas: drill, drill, and drill some more. Well, my response is, we have been drilling. Under my Administration, oil production in America is at an eight-year high. We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs, and opened up millions of acres for drilling.  But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that relies less on foreign oil and more on American-made energy – solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more.   That’s the strategy we’re pursuing. It’s why I went to a plant in North Carolina earlier this week, where they’re making trucks that run on natural gas, and hybrid trucks that go further on a single tank.
[What I'm not telling you:  At the outset, I'd like to tell you that this blather opportunity was recorded yesterday after my bluster at the Rolls-Royce jet engine plant in Petersburg, Va.  This is being broadcast as a part of my "Condemning Conservatives Tour" re-immaculation campaign--which, incidently--is being funded in large measure by the American taxpayer; in direct violation of current election law!! 
    That being said, let's get onto the lies-of-the-week.  We're building better stuff:  We--American manufacturers--had no choice!!  Around the world, the quality of "Made in America" products was laughable, at best!!  The demands of the labor and service unions were the primary reason for the degeneration in quality, nationwide.  Labor union members--much like the vast majority of teachers' union members--know it almost takes 'an act of Congress' to fire them so quality is the last thing they're thinking about.  Foremost on their minds of late has been things like whose got the 'joints' for today's morning and afternoon breaks; who was responsible for the beer and liquor for the lunch break.  Can you see why quality had to become THE issue?!?  
    Now, on to the regime's lies on oil, crude oil, oil reserves, et al.   That "....2% of the world's oil reserves...." is pure conjecture on the regime's part.  First-we're only considering the world's PROVEN oil reserves; the figure we use is whatever number some guy in a Palace broom-closet 'pulls-out-of-his-ass.'  The regime claims on practically anything 'oil' won't stand up under even the loosest scrutiny!! 
*Note (from non-partisan Congressional Research Service): 'PROVEN' oil reserves: have a certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions.  Now that you know that single statistic, jeopardizes the honesty of any other blather I may spew-forth on the oil, the drilling, the retail gas price, et al; issues.... as if 'honesty' were an issue with me, with George Soros, with other regime-ists! 
    Continuing with the 'oil lies....'  The United States--if widely accepted statistics were used--would replace Saudi Arabia as the world's pre-eminent 'oil reserves' country.  As George Soros has suggested, we've used the complicit and duplicitous national pamphleteer 'corpse' to perpetuate 'the big lie' about oil; keeping the 'technically recoverable' statistic out of print, off the internet.  Currently, the 'technically recoverable' amount of crude oil stands at ONE-POINT-FIVE TRILLION BARRELS!!  Those 'technically recoverable' reserves will fuel the United States for 250 years at present demand rates!!  By comparison, Saudi Arabian estimated oil reserves are pegged at 700 billion barrels, roughly HALF of U.S. reserves.
If it's not possible to 'drill our way out,' then why are we drilling at all?!?]
And it’s why I’ve been focused on fuel efficient cars since the day I took office. Over the last few years, the annual number of miles driven by Americans has stayed roughly the same, but the total amount of gas we use has been going down. In other words, we’re getting more bang for our buck.  If we accelerate that trend, we can help drivers save a significant amount of money. That’s why, after 30 years of inaction, we finally put in place new standards that will make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – nearly double what they get today. This wasn’t easy: we had to bring together auto companies, and unions, and folks who don’t ordinarily see eye to eye. But it was worth it.  Because these cars aren’t some pie in the sky solution that’s years away. They’re being built right now – by American workers, in factories right here in the U.S.A. Every year, our cars and trucks will be able to go further and use less fuel, and pretty soon, you’ll be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump. We’ll reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels. That’s a future worth investing in.  So we have a choice. Right now, some folks in Washington would rather spend another $4 billion on subsidies to oil companies each year. Well you know what? We’ve been handing out these kinds of taxpayer giveaways for nearly a century. And outside of Congress, does anyone really think that’s still a good idea? I want this Congress to stop the giveaways to an oil industry that’s never been more profitable, and invest in a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. We should be investing in the technology that’s building the cars and trucks and jets that will prevent us from dealing with these high gas prices year after year after year. Ending this cycle of rising gas prices won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But that’s why you sent us to Washington – to solve tough problems like this one. So I’m going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future. I hope politicians from both sides of the aisle join me. Let’s put aside the bumper-sticker slogans, remember why we’re here, and get things done for the American people.
[What I'm not telling you:  "....30 years of inaction...." is pure conjecture; pure bullshit!! The first two years of my regime we made no changes in the CAFE standards, preferring to ride on 'the coattails' of that evil George W. Bush!!  2011 was the regime's first step in tinkering with said standards.  Prior to that, the two-terms of 'Dub-ya' and the last "Slick-Willie" Clinton-year there were no CAFE changes; presumably due to the mult-front wars 'Dub-ya' was involved with.  So.... 'thirty-years' is bullshit!! 
    If I actually 'gave a crap' I might consider what actions, what changes the auto manufacturers might be forced to make, given my demand for 55 mpg by the 2025 model year.  To raise the mpg average of a vehicle there are a couple of possible methods; more efficient internal combustion engines and less weight-per-horsepower of said vehicles.  The effeciency has just about reached it's limit, so that leaves weight.  The manufacturers have reduced most of the excess weight out of the vehicles to achieve the CAFE standards to date.  How much weight can be removed without jeopardizing the safety of the driver and passengers?!?
    I've found that most things I'm concerned about are cyclical; there are built-in ups and downs.  For instance, global warming and cooling is on a PROVEN 600 year cycle; retail fuel prices have two or three up-and-down cycles per year.  I have managed to break the retail fuel ups-and-downs cycles!!  Since my immaculation in 2009, the national average of retail gas has increased  105%; the same average in diesel has increased 95% just in the past three years.... and they're still goin' up!!   This is where--again--the evil George W. Bush and "Slick-Willie" come into play:  If 'Dub-ya' had stopped "playing soldier" long enough to approve some drilling permits we wouldn't be in this fix!!  If "Slick-Willie" cudd'a kept "his-pecker-in-his-pocket;" kept Monica Lewinsky out of the knee-well of his desk, he cudd'a approved some drilling permits as well!! 
See, IT'S NEVER MY FAULT!!!!]

January Seventeenth in History

Chevrolet Corvette Debut
    On January 17, 1953, the Corvette prototype was unveiled at the GM Motorama at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.  The 500,000th Corvette was built in 1977; the millionth in 1992; the millionth-and-a-half in 2009.

Paula Jones vs "Slick-Willie"
    On January 17, 1994, Paula Jones--an Arkansas state file clerk--filed suit against President "Slick-Willie" Clinton in Federal Court, Little Rock, Ar., asking for $700,000 in damages.  Investigation into the Jones allegations discovered that "Slick-Willie" was boinking Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office.  The Jones allegations eventually led to "Slick-Willie's" impeachment; He was later acquitted.

Eisenhower's Farewell
    On January 17, 1961,  President Eisenhower made his last speech to the American people.  The President--despite his sadness that peace had not prevailed worldwide--offered the following prayer: 
"We pray that people of all faiths, all races, all nations.... will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love."

Gilmore: "Let's Do It!"
    On January 17, 1977, double-murderer Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad at the Utah State Prison, Draper, Utah.  Mr Gilmore was convicted of murdering an elderly couple because they wouldn't give him their car.  Gilmore's final words on this earth were: "Let's Do It!"

Where's The "Mushroom Seeds?!?"
    On January 17, 1966, the United States Air Force lost a total of four hydrogen bombs ('mushroom seeds') over and around Palomares, Spain.  The Air Force B-52 collided with the refueling boom of an Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft.  The collision ripped open the top of the bomber and fuel exploded in both the bomber and the tanker.  All four souls in the tanker and three souls in the bomber died; the remaining four bomber crewmen were able to parachute to safety.

This'n'That; November Fifteenth #1; The 'Real' Reason:

A Political 'Stepping-Stone!'


Jenna Bush Hagar; Meghan McCain; Chelsea Clinton

    In this photo, there's but one possibly legitimate news, special projects-person, that being Jenna Bush Hagar (l);  Ms McCain is little more than a spoiled-lil'-rich-kid; rebelling against Daddy's politics and Mummy's vast millions; Ms Clinton--trading on a pair of coat-tails--Daddy's presidency; Mummy's senatorship, secretarial position.
    As I see it, this is the thinly-veiled persuit of a self-perceived higher calling--that of a political bent ....and so be it!!  Ms Clinton has every right to persue any career she so desires.  This career change will surely benefit her by having that "plain-as-a-stump-fence" face in front of the camera periodically.  While I wish her well, I don't see this panning out as she desires.  She has all manner of baggage to carry; her father--"Slick-Willie"--actually being an accused rapist (Juanita Broaddrick ring a bell?!?); actually being one of the few presidents to be impeached (even though he beat-the-charges!); her mother's (in)famous speech on the 'Today' show co-opting the phrase "vast, rightwing conspiracy" in defense of her husband's proven philandering with Monica Lewinsky; and on, and on!!
Were Ms Clinton one of my kids, I'd counsel her to study this conundrum long-and-hard before jumping from this broadcast adventure into politics!!

This'n'That; October Twenty-First #1; Here They Come!!!

Increased Danger On American Highways?!?
    Today's the big day!  At least for Mexico!  New avenues opening for drug cartels and human-smuggling gangs!
"Cross-border trucking"--as it's known by it's foes--has seen delay-after-delay since it's inclusion in the 'North American Freedom, Traded Away (NAFTA).' NAFTA officially came into being on January 1, 1994, the day we first heard "that sucking sound" H. Ross Perot warned us about. Discounting Monica Lewinsky's vision of Oval Office daily life, "Slick-Willie" Clinton did at least one thing right.  For all the years of NAFTA, "Slick" and his cronies opposed "cross-border trucking," primarily for personal and highway safety concerns.
    Clearly, the Mexican federal government places lower value on human life than does the U.S. government.  Now that the drug and human-smuggling cartels have taken over the northern 'states' of Mexico the lack of concern becomes more evident by the day!  The drug smugglers have long had their way with border restrictions; crossing in rural areas, tunnelling into American border-towns, hiring American adolescents to move vehicles from parking-space-to-parking-space as well as being lookouts and runners.
    Ray DaHood--the owe-bama head of the Transportation Department--approved a permit allowing 'Transportes Olympic' to cross the U.S.-Mexican border at Laredo, Texas; Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.  This will--most likely--occur on Friday as the company moves a load of industrial machinery to Garland, Texas; fifteen miles northeast of Dallas.  Previously, Mexican freight was delivered to border cities to be transported deeper into the United States by American truckers; American trucking companies.  Among the negatives, this program will be the cost of several-to-hundreds of American trucking jobs.
    Todd Spencer, Executive VP of OOIDA (Owner-Operator, Independent Drivers Association) has long held that the Mexican government has few--if any--historical records on driver safety, driver drug testing, company safety records, et al.  I contend that American highways will be exposed to added peril with the addition of Mexican drivers.  The drivers I've observed seem not to have the same approach to driving on crowded highways, don't have the same approach to the stress involved in over-the-road trucking on American highways.  The Mexican--as a nationality--has a reduced concern for human life as evidenced by the drug cartels' takeover of cities on both sides of the border.
    I don't see this experiment-in-political-stupidity ending well!  The "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" regime is doing nothing more than pandering for more votes:  How many drivers will actually return to Mexico?!?  I think we'll find trucking assets abandoned in various rest areas and truckstops as the drivers opt for ILLEGAL ALIEN status!!
