This'n'That;October 12th[DiPonzio;Economy;Freedoms;Fallout;List]

A "Wounded Officer" Update You may remember that Tyquan Rivera [the "Lil' Bastard"] was charged and subsequently convicted of shooting officer Anthony DiPonzio, 23, of Greece, on Saturday, Jan 31, 2009. DiPonzio was shot at the back of his head. The following update was published in Sunday's Democrat and Chronicle:

When the bullet from the rifle struck Rochester police Officer Anthony DiPonzio in the back of the head, it traveled straight through his brain, striking his frontal skull and bouncing back into the brain's right side. DiPonzio immediately dropped into a snowbank. When officers on the scene noticed he wasn't moving or responding, they moved him into the back of a police vehicle and took him to Rochester General Hospital, where he underwent surgery. DiPonzio spent about two weeks at Rochester General Hospital before being transferred to Unity Health System's Brain Injury Rehabilitation Unit, where he was an inpatient until April 1. DiPonzio has had two surgeries — the last one was in June — to replace half of his skull. He is currently living with his parents at his home in Greece and going to physical therapy daily for about three hours. DiPonzio can now stand and walk on his own but is continuing to work on getting more movement in his left arm. He said his long-term goal is to get back to work as a police officer. DiPonzio's recovery is expected to take about another year or year and a half.

Five Things To Do......

• Things You Can Do To Stop barackStar obama From Taking Your Freedoms. 1. Stay Informed. The conservative sites on the Internet, Fox News and Talk Radio generally tell it like it is. Sadly, CBS, NBC and ABC and most metropolitan newspapers have sold out to the bad guys and can't be trusted. A directory of conservative blogs and newsletters is here http://www.conservativesforum.com/conservatives-directory.htm. Glenn Beck is a particularly excellent source of information http://www.glennbeck.com/.
• 2. Get Involved. There is strength in numbers. Connect with other like-minded people in your area. Organize. Attend local grassroots rallies and events. You can learn more about the Tea Party movement here http://teapartypatriots.org/.
• 3. Tell People How You Feel. Don't be shy! Put a bumper sticker on your car. You could also get some of our Obama satirical money [at http://www.slick.com/ ] and hand it out to friends, neighbors and people you meet. Jokes are powerful political weapons because a joke can't be spun!
• 4. Bug your Congressman. Once is not nearly enough – call, email, and write...continually! For their contact info, go to: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt. Remember, politicians, above all else, want to be reelected. Let them know they won't be if they allow Obama to bankrupt the country and take away the freedoms for which countless Americans have fought and died.
• 5. Spread The Word! Email these suggestions to everyone you know!Let's take our country back!

International "Fallout" On Prize Award

The five Norwegian politicians who awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to barackStar obama faced criticism for selecting the U.S. president before he converts promises of nuclear disarmament, Middle East peace or better East-West relations into reality. While the Nobel committee has been faulted in the past for making political statements with its choice of laureates, the obama award marked the first time it honored a head of state for laying out a vision rather than for practical accomplishments. The honor is a “premature canonization,” said Fred Greenstein, a historian at Princeton University. “It seems to me that it is an embarrassment for the Nobel process.” The deadline for nominations for the prize, which includes $1.4 million in cash, was Feb. 1, less than two weeks after obama took office and before he launched initiatives on nuclear non-proliferation and rebuilding U.S. ties to the Muslim world. “The prize is coming a little bit early,” Guenther Oettinger, leader of the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, told reporters in Berlin. “He’s at the beginning of his work, not the end.” Two previous sitting U.S. presidents won the accolade: Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 for brokering peace between Japan and Russia, and Woodrow Wilson in 1919 for founding the League of Nations after World War I. The five-member Norwegian committee, led by former Prime Minister Thorbjoern Jagland, hailed obama for “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation.” It also cited a “new climate” in world politics and the restoration of “multilateral diplomacy.” “If they needed to choose a symbol, a hope rather than someone who has already accomplished peace with results, it’s rather worrying,” said Nicole Bacharan, a researcher at France’s National Foundation of Political Sciences. “It means there has been little done for peace in the world.” obama has barely made his first foreign policy moves. He sent 21,000 extra U.S. troops to Afghanistan and is weighing a further escalation, embarked on diplomacy to end the standoff over Iran’s nuclear program, junked a Bush-era plan for missile- defense sites in eastern Europe, and failed to persuade Israel to halt settlement construction on the West Bank.

In rare accord, both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute questioned the award, saying the 48-year-old president has yet to fulfill his promise as a conciliator.

• “Nothing has changed in the Obama administration’s policies from previous U.S. governments, except statements, promises and hopes,” said Fawzi Barhoum, a spokesman for Hamas, the Palestinian faction that runs the Gaza Strip.

• For Efraim Inbar, a politics professor at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, the prize shows that “the Nobel judges are unable to distinguish between words and deeds.”

The award was announced as Washington is consumed by a debate over Afghanistan, with leading Republicans urging the dispatch of additional troops and opponents warning obama against plunging deeper into what they see as an unwinnable war. obama’s foreign policy “so far has brought a mixed result in Afghanistan,” said Ahmed Nader Nadery, a member of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission. “Afghans worry that his pragmatism may lead him to reduce the U.S. commitment as it becomes more politically difficult.” Past honors to active politicians have come back to haunt the Nobel Committee. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and North Vietnamese diplomat Le Duc Tho shared the 1973 prize for negotiating a peace treaty that collapsed two years later when North Vietnam’s forces overran South Vietnam. The Nobel Committee keeps its deliberations secret, disclosing only that it received a record 205 nominations for the 2009 peace prize, of which 33 were for organizations. It may, however, “permit access to material which formed the basis” for the selection of obama -- in the year 2059.

This'n'That; October 10th[Fluffy/Nobel;Reactions;Investing]

Does Fluffy's Prize Award Have Positive Side?? I'm thinkin'........No. Those folks in Stockholm have done obama no favors; awarding one of the most coveted prizes in history to someone who has relatively no work experience with any relevance to the constrictions of the committee's considerations!!

• Now that Fluffy will be officially considered a pacifist~~
• How will he effectively conduct the nation's defense? How will he effectively conduct operations in Iraq? How will he effectively conduct negotiations with Iran? How will he effectively conduct negotiations with Russia and the rest of the communist bloc? How will he effectively conduct his "auto company" businesses? How will he effectively conduct his "banking" businesses? How will he effectively conduct his "insurance" businesses?

The Michael Savage Take On obama Selection Michael Savage is as astonished at obama's being awarded the "Nobel Peace Prize" as are you and I. "Is he moving us towards world peace?" he wonders. "Last I checked Ahmadinejad is speeding along with his bomb. If obama is an antiwar president, why hasn't he pulled us out of Afghanistan?"Savage's real ire isn't directed at obama, but at the Nobel committee. Like Rush Limbaugh earlier today, he argues that the prize tells us more about the prize givers than it does about obama. "We all know what the Nobel Prize committee is ever since Yasir Arafat won. It's a radical leftist front group that hijacked Alfred Nobel's prize."Nobel created dynamite, and felt really guilty about it, Savage reminds us. But obama, he says, has moved us toward world peace about as much as British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain did by appeasing the Nazis. "For a brief moment, there was world peace, and then in the blink of an eye it was over." Other Reactions To The Award: Joe Carter [Web Editor- www.firstthings.com ]: The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Barack Obama today for ending the tensions between Professor Henry Louis Gates and Office James Crowley during his Beer Summit. Only kidding, of course. That was an actual accomplishment and according to the Nobel citation, he won because of efforts. The comittee was only following the lead of the American people. They may have given him the Nobel Prize despite doing nothing to deserve it—but we gave him the Presidency based on even fewer accomplishments. My favorite part of the announcement, though, is finding that he was nominated for the Peace Prize before he had been in office two weeks.

• Washington Post: “Though obama’s name surfaced early among contenders, the announcement astonished observers—drawing gasps from the audience in Oslo — in part because obama assumed office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 deadline for nominations.” The Times of London: “Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world. Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.”
• Mark Halperin: “obama has been in office less than a year, and has few tangible accomplishments deriving from the speeches he has given or the preliminary talks his young government has engaged in. And the award comes at a time in which obama’s role as a war president—in Afghanistan—is front and center. It isn’t quite as inexplicable as Marisa Tomei’s Best Supporting Actress Oscar, but it seems pretty close.”
• Vox Day: “What on Earth can they possibly be thinking? The man hasn’t even ended the two military occupations he promised to end!”
• Fred Thompson: “Shouldn’t the Nobel Peace Prize have a higher bar than high expectations?”
• Peter Beinart: “I like BarackStar obama as much as the next liberal, but this is a farce. He’s done nothing to deserve the prize. Sure, he’s given some lovely speeches and launched some initiatives—on Iran, Israeli-Palestinian peace, climate change and nuclear disarmament—that might, if he’s really lucky and really good, make the world a more safe, more just, more peaceful world. But there’s absolutely no way to know if he’ll succeed, and by giving him the Nobel Prize as a kind of “atta boy,” the Nobel Committee is actually just highlighting the gap that conservatives have long highlighted: between obamamania as global hype and obama’s actual accomplishments.”
• Andrew Sullivan: “If any person has done more to advance some measure of calm, reason and peace in this troubled word lately, it’s president obama. I think the Cairo speech and the Wright speech alone merited this both bridging ancient rifts even while they remain, of course, deep and intractable.”
• Nicholas Kristof: “I admire his efforts toward Middle East peace, but the prize still seems very premature. What has he done? . . . [I]t seems to me that it might have made sense to wait and give obama the Nobel Peace Prize in his eighth year in office, after he has actually made peace somewhere.”
• Emanuele Ottolenghi: “If President obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize less than one year into his presidency, what can he aspire to by the time he leaves office? If fate allows it, the seat of St Peter will be vacant — and if not, we are sure the pope will graciously resign. Short of that, one can always count on the UN secretary-general’s post to be on offer.”
• Daniel Pipes: “My prediction: The absurdity of the prize decision will harm obama politically in the United States, contrasting his role as international celebrity with his record devoid of accomplishments”
• Frank J: “And for the record, this makes a mockery of the prize. There is no way obama has had time to accomplish as much peace as Arafat did.”
• Democratic National Committee spokesman: “”The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize.”

Investing Advice:

I found some cogent and timely adivice from America's investing gurus in the November, 2009 issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine [ http://www.kiplinger.com/ ]:

• WARREN BUFFETT; Chairman, Berkshire-Hathaway: I have no idea what the stock market's going to do tomorrow, or next week, or next month or next hear. But over a ten-year period you will do considerably better owning a group of equities than you will owning Treasuries. In fighting the economic war, we've taken action that sows the seeds of substantial inflation down the road. Not in the next six months or year, but ten years from now the dollar will buy a lot less than it buys today.
• BOB RODRIGUEZ; Chief Executive Officer-Frist Pacific Advisors: Don't run with the herd. Being surrounded by people who are doing the same thing as you offers a false sense of protection. Being a loner is extremely uncomfortable, but it's far better. Today, being a loner means owning short-maturity, high-quality debt on the bond side. And if the U.S. government continues to blow up the nation's balance sheet through massive deficits, you should probably move at least 20% to 40% of your assets out of the U.S.
• JEREMY GRANTHAM; Chief Investment Strategist-Grantham, Mayo, VanOtterloo: The recent rally has been very speculative, favoring risky assets over the past few months. I'm sorry if you missed investion at the market's March lows, but dont' compound the damage to your portfolio by chasing gains in risky assets. We're at the beginning of a seven-year period of lean returns. You should only be buying the highest-quality blue-chip companies, where valuations are most attractive.
• BILL GROSS; Co-Chief Investment Offier-Pacific Investment Management Co: The biggest danger right now is that you'll earn 0% on mattress money, or virtually 0% in a money-market account or at the bank. Yes, that money is safe, but the economy and inflation may come roaring past you at higher levels. You also have to consider diversifying outside of he U.S. The dollar is a weak currency, and as it devalues against other currencies, our standard of living will suffer. Higher returns relative to risk lie in Asia and Brazil.
• MARTY WHITMAN; Co-Chief Investment Officer-Third Avenue Management: Do what we do: Find extremely well-financed companies that do not rely on continuous access to the bond or stock markets for refinancing, that are run by competent management teams and that have favorable prospects for growth. Buy these companies' stocks when they are available at a meaningful discount. All other systems of investing are concerned with predicting stocks' near-term price movements.
• JIM ROGERS; Chairman-Rogers Holdings: Diversification is garbage-it's someting brokers invented to avoid getting sued. You only need four or five good ideas in your life to get really rich if you avoid mistakes. And the one way to avoid mistakes is to stick with what you know, whether it's clothes or cars or commodies. Then, when you see a major development in your area of expertise, you'll know better than Wall Street when to buy or sell. Otherwise, you should put your money in the bank.

Porklosi To Give Away Government Lands

[Not only is Nancy Porklosi doing her dam'dest to bankrupt the country both morally and economically, now she wants to GIVE AWAY decomisssioned military bases to local governments!! The land has an economic value--no where near the cash equivilant she and her cronies have given away to their supporters and donors--and should not be given away!! What's wrong with selling it at the current appraised value?? Granted, all the prices and values still consist of tax money, so as far as the commoner is concerned, it's just taking money out of one pocket and putting it in another!! As a footnote to the photo: Is there ANYTHING SLIMIER than a politician??]

A land provision strongly supported by Speaker Nancy Porklosi (d-Calif.) and dozens of lawmakers in both chambers was struck from the final version of the 2010 defense authorization bill Wednesday. The House included the provision in its version of the bill. It required the Pentagon to transfer closed military bases, at no cost, to local authorities for economic development. Leading Senate defense authorizers strongly opposed the House language and did not include it in its version. The fate of the language was the last issue leaders of the Senate and House Armed Services Committee resolved as part of conference negotiations on the final defense authorization bill. It was rejected amid intense lobbying from lawmakers in both chambers who saw great benefits for economic development in their districts. Treasure Island is one of those shuttered bases with potentially high value. The former base, which closed in 1993, has been the subject of years of failed negotiations between San Francisco — the city Porklosi represents — and the Navy. Pelosi has personally fought and negotiated with the Navy over the land transfer, but those negotiations broke down. California’s two democRATic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, have also been involved, including sending letters to BarackStar obama, the Pentagon and the leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services panels. San Francisco and the Navy have been at a stalemate over Treasure Island, squabbling over the price of the land. The Navy estimates it is worth $240 million; the city offered a tenth of that value.

A Charity For Truckers' Health

[For those truckers who don't know or the non-truckers, these fundraisers are in conjunction with the Tennessee Truck Show, October 9th and 10th, Crossville, Tn. One can get there by taking exit-311, I-40 and going to the Fitzgerald Truck Center. The entertainment portion of the show will also feature the music of the event’s organizer, Joey Holiday, who will be releasing his brand new CD, titled “Semi Celebrity.” Other performers include TC Bush, Debbie Sparks and Aaron Tippin. Vicky Holiday said tickets to the Tippin concert are free for CDL holders. Other attendees will be charged around $10 per person. Proceeds from the Tippin concert will be donated to St. Jude’s.]

The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund has two new fundraiser events scheduled for the next two months. The St. Christopher Fund is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping professional drivers get through an unexpected catastrophic health-related event. The first event on this year’s calendar is the second annual golf outing to be held Friday, Oct. 9, at the Bear Trace Golf Course at Cumberland in Crossville, TN. Tee time will be at 9 a.m., and the golfers can meet at Exit 311 on Interstate 40 at Fitzgerald Truck Center. Transportation to the course will be provided, and the cost per golfer is $75 including cart. Preregistration is suggested so as to block off tee times. To preregister, golfers can call 877-332-4483. For further information, contact Paul Sasso at 254-624-9848 or ptrkr@hotmail.com. In conjunction with Truckers Appreciation Week and Thanksgiving, the second event is “Driving for Drivers” in November. “Driving for Drivers is very simple,” says Sasso. “For the entire month of November we are asking drivers to donate one penny a mile driven during the month to the St. Christopher Fund either by check, money order or credit card. We can show the brotherhood that still abounds. And when each of us sits at our Thanksgiving dinner we can give thanks – either as a recipient or donor – that we care for each other whether we know them or not.” The fund, started by Sirius XM satellite radio host Dave Nemo and Dr. John McElligott of Knoxville, TN, has assisted more than 50 drivers since its inception – through direct cash dispersement, negotiating of rates, and direction to help find services. There are strict criteria both in medical and financial areas that must be met to qualify.

Recovery Has Started.....NOT!!

Credit dry-up intensifies. Consumer credit fell for the seventh month in a row, contracting $11.98B in August to $2.46T - translating to a -5.8% annual growth rate. Economists had expected a $12.5B decline. Credit-card debt fell for a record 11th straight month, down $9.91B (an annualized shrinkage of 13.1%) to $899.41B (consumer credit release). The drop highlights how lenders are scaling back after being hit with huge debt writeoffs, but it also reflects a reluctance by consumers to hold substantial amid concerns over their jobs and home values.

Go, Rush, Go!!!

Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he is teaming up with St. Louis Blues owner Dave Checketts in a bid to buy the Rams, owners of the NFL's longest losing streak at 14 and just 5-31 since 2007. In a statement, Limbaugh declined to discuss details, citing a confidentiality agreement with Goldman Sachs, the investment firm hired by the family of former Rams owner Georgia Frontiere to review assets of her estate, including the NFL team. Limbaugh also declined to discuss other partners that might be involved in the bid, but said he and Checketts would operate the team. "Dave Checketts and I have made a bid to buy the Rams and we are continuing the process," Limbaugh said. Forbes magazine has estimated the Rams franchise has a value of $929 million.

What'ta HELL Are They Thinking?!?!

Fluffy obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize?!?! The qualifications and standards have reached a new low!!

What could this political and economic slug have accomplished in just 11 days in office? Fluffy became the "Fascist-in-Chief" on January, 20th and the nomination had to be in Stockholm, Sweden by January 31st.

• Deadline for submission. The completed forms must reach the Nobel Committee not later than 31 January of the following year. The Committee then screens the nominations and submits a list for approval by the Academy.

What would have been considered in his chase for the prize?

Well, there's not much that I can find:

• 01/20: In his inauguaral address, Fluffy stressed the need for sacrifice from all Americans, except of course democRATs, the wealthiest of Americans and those in Hollywood.
• 01/21: In one of its first actions, the obama administration instructed military prosecutors late Tuesday to seek a 120-day halt of legal proceedings involving detainees at the Guantanamo Bay naval base.
• 01/21: Immediately after obama took the oath of office Tuesday, www.whitehouse.gov underwent its own presidential transition. The main photo, of former President George W. Bush saluting a U.S. Marine crew member after returning from Camp David on Sunday, disappeared. In its place was a rotating series of photos and statements from obama. The first statement: "Change has come to America."
• 01/22: With a short memo on Inauguration Day, obama blocked plans to loosen some air quality standards and to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list. But he did not stop several other controversial, late-term environmental regulations issued by the Bush administration -- at least not yet.
• 01/22: The obama administration circulated a draft order Wednesday calling for review of all 245 prisoners' cases and closure of the facility within a year.
• 01/23: obama named former Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell (D-Maine) as special envoy to the Middle East and former U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke as special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
• 01/24: obama on Friday overturned a controversial ban on U.S. support to international aid groups that provide abortion services around the world.
• 01/26: Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein, a widely admired intellectual and friend of obama, has spent years delving into the obscure issues of regulatory law and behavioral economics. Sunstein's academic interests in regulation have led him to raise questions about the constitutionality of workplace safety laws and the Clean Air Act. He has embraced a controversial "senior death discount" that calculates the lives of younger people as having a greater value than those of the elderly.
• 01/27: Federal Reserve Bank of New York President Timothy F. Geithner won confirmation Monday as President Obama's Treasury secretary despite personal tax lapses that turned more than a third of the Senate against him.
• 01/27: obama dispatched his special Middle East envoy on his inaugural peacemaking trip Monday, declaring that former Sen. George J. Mitchell would speak for the White House.
• 01/30: obama blasted Wall Street executives on Thursday, calling it the "height of irresponsibility" that they gave employees massive bonuses last year.
• 01/31: A powerful Iranian cleric warned obama today to stay away from the harsh rhetoric of the Bush administration in dealing with the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.

Check out that list, huh?!?! How much of that bullshit actually had even the remotest link to "world peace??" NONE!!

• Not only is the American "KoolAid-Drinker" Media in the fascist bag-the world's socialists are as well!!
• Judging by the list, merely "flapping your lips" will get you a prize!!
• Merely hiring a fraud and and tax cheat to run the Treasury will get you a prize!!
• About that $1.4million cash prize: For tax purposes, it's "unearned income" much like the Wall Street bonuses!! The prize-if he keeps it [lol!!]-will increase his net worth by almost 25%!!; Will he donate it to his favorite charity; donate it to the "obama Reelection Fund;" ask the IRS to tax it away" much like they did to those on Wall Street?!?!

Fluffy obama Still Has It Wrong!!

After Fluffy's "star-power" was snubbed by the International Olympic Committee, his commiserating speech restarted his ramp-up of crises to cloud both the FluffyCare and Cap and Tax utility ponzi schemes. Rassmussen polls indicate that the American populus is NOT on the same page as Fluffy. These topics were polled by that group with the following results [1,000 likely voters polled]:

• Clean up Government ethics [or lack there of]....... 83%
• Repair the economy................................................ 82%
• Reform healthcare.................................................. 73%

As the poll indicates, Fluffy is of the same mind-set as those legislators who intend to vote on what they personally desire, rather than the needs and wants of the constituency.

Beck On "Moms"

On his Friday show [10/02/009], Glenn had a segment on Moms and what they could do to get out from under the stigma that a mother is "just a mom." Apparently in late September he devoted a TV show to that same topic, but I didn't see it, other than clips broadcast on Friday's show. Friday he had three guests, each starting a website or a blog:

• http://www.asamom.org/
• http://www.mommylife.net/
• http://www.marymbaker.blogspot.com/

On of those Beck interviewed reminded the women that they'd command attention and get answers to their questions by prefacing those questions with "Speaking as a mom.......". How could any politician ignore a question like that? Over time, it would be political suicide to do so!!!

What An Asshole!!

David Letterman sure is getting "mileage" out of his infidelities, ain'he!! In the last two shows he felt obligated to drag his victims as well as his family "through the mud." The best thing that could happen to him is arrest, conviction and a lengthy jail term!! More logically though, he should lose ALL his viewers, ALL his advertisers, ALL his companies, ALL his money and ALL his alleged prestige!! Where are all those that Letterman skewered for their dalliances??

Fluffy obama's Mentors

[After reading the article below, one has no reason to question what the talk-show hosts say concerning obama's fascist leanings!!]

If Honduras descends into civil war, we can thank Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and credit Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva with an assist. Pushing the Central American nation to the brink is precisely what Chavez accomplished when he persuaded Lula to welcome ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the capital, last month. Reasonable people can argue whether Zelaya deserved to be tossed out of office. The fact is his ouster was legal, according to a detailed report issued by the U.S. Congressional Research Service. The Honduran Congress has the authority to rebuke the president and decide constitutional intent, the report says. “In the case against Zelaya, the National Congress interpreted the power to disapprove of the conduct of the president to encompass the power to remove him from office, based on the results of a special, extensive investigation,” it states. Chavez and Lula engaged in wise-guy diplomacy. Their actions violated international laws by helping Zelaya enter the country illegally. And they disrupted the economy of Central America’s second-poorest country, which was already reeling from the global economic crisis. Besides acting unethically, the two Latin leaders showed they aren’t serious diplomats. We’ll see if this inaugurates a new era in which Brazil and Venezuela throw their weight around and increasingly interfere with their neighbors’ politics. If so, they will resemble the U.S., which Latin leaders have long criticized for butting into the region’s internal affairs by propping up or taking out national leaders. Making things even worse, BarackStar obama’s administration, which correctly criticized Venezuela and Brazil for letting Zelaya into Honduras, says it won’t recognize the scheduled November election unless the political crisis is resolved. That gives carte blanche to Zelaya. The more turmoil Zelaya creates, the closer to civil war the country will be.

Fluffy Puts Border Security At End Of Priority List

[Given Fluffy obama's fascist leanings, is it any wonder that border security has been put on "the back burner?" The most hated president in modern times--George W. Bush--had border security much farther up the priority list, even though many of his supporters wanted the illegal border crossings ignored!]

Appropriators dropped a requirement in the 2010 Homeland Security spending bill to rush the construction of a fence at the Mexican border, disappointing conservatives who pushed the project as a way to slow illegal immigration.The conference report for the $42.8 billion appropriations bill left out language in the Senate's version that required the installation of 700 miles of the border fence by the end of next year. The fence requirement was inserted in July as an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). It was adopted with the support of most GOP senators and 21 Democrats. But the conference report went with the House's position, which didn't include any requirements on the fence's construction.

The Obama administration had opposed a rapid expansion of the fence, requesting far less money for the project than President George W. Bush had asked for. The White House called for $779 million for the fence in 2010, less than the $1.9 billion spent by the Bush adminstration in 2008 and the $926 million appropriated to the fence in 2009. The Homeland Security conference report calls for $800 million for the fence.Initial plans called for the fence to cover 670 miles of the nearly 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border. But a General Accountability Office (GAO) report in February found that less than three dozen miles of it had been built.

"Birds-Of-A-Feather...."

I contend that Fluffy obama and Bernie Madoff are so much alike as to be twins!!

• Bernie Madoff: Developed a line of shit that he fed to his acquaintances.
• Fluffy obama: Developed a line of shit that he fed to the American populus via "The Campaign of Fluff."
• Bernie Madoff: Continued to develop his ponzi scheme to amass a vast fortune.
• Fluffy obama: Continued his "Campaign of Fluff" even after buying the election, which is enhancing his and his supporters' fortunes.
• Bernie Madoff: Continued to lie to his investors, even as the actual return on their investments plummeted.
• Fluffy obama: Continued to lie to the American people, even as the stastics of his economic niavete' plummeted.
• Bernie Madoff: Eventually found out when his scheme collapsed and jailed.
• Fluffy obama: Eventually will [hopefully] suffer the "Madoff" conclusion.

Another Fluffy Photo-Op

Have you ever heard such a line of unmitigated bovine feces [read: Bullshit!!]??

• Where's the examples of all this "sacrifice" made by "The Chin; The Big O and Fluffy obama???"
• Where's the sacrifice when you have billions at your disposal [in The Chin's and Fluffy's cases, it's OUR MONEY!!]??
• Where's the sacrifice when you "snap your fingers" and someone rolls the plane up to the gate??
• Where's the sacrifice when you impose on the Queen of Denmark for a meal??
• Where's the sacrifice when you plead the case of a fore-gone conclusion??

I'll tell ya where:

• It's in the lives lost in battle.
• It's in the blood shed in battle.
• It's in the commander-in-chief's failure to even acknowledge the existance of the commander of the forces in that battle [they spoke ONCE in the last 6 months!!].

Only a "KoolAid drinker" could even begin to believe that Fluffy, The Chin and The Big O are spreading carbon contaminants over half the globe in "the hopes" of swaying the vote of the IOC. The Chicago Olympics was a done deal before The Chin and The Big O cracked open the champaigne for the pre-departure toast!! It's inconceivable that Der Fluffmeister would even be anywhere near Copenhagen if that were not the case!! Can you imagine the embarrassment of some other city chosen over Chicago??

Who [Albeit, Temporary] Benefits With "A Chicago Olympics?"

• Kid-On-Kid Crime: Fluffy obama is dispatching two top fascists to Chicago to coverup or atleast get that kid's beating and death off the front pages!!
• Valerie Jarrett: Before joining Fluffy, she was the CEO of The Habitat Company, a real estate and management firm. The firm is allegedly in line to manage the "Olympic Village." The firm managed housing for the local welfare RATs. She has yet to afirm or deny that she still has a financial stake in the company.
• Mayor Richard Daley: Chicago politics have been crooked for centuries, he'll richly benefit from the all the building and concesssions that'll take place.
• We can stop here: Fox News is reporting that Chicago has been eliminated; the IOC has just said:
• "Up yours, Fluffy!!"
• Now the world's other fascists are "Pointin'n'Laffin'!!!

MORE FluffyCare Bullshit!!

[This Baucus guy..... whadda idiot he is!! Admittedly, he's hired a staff that's not smart enough to upload a legislative draft onto the internet!! What ta Hell good are they?!?! He's saying that it's not important that the folks that are gonna fund this boondoogle be able to read the bill before the vote!! Below is an exerpt of an entry on "The Huffington Post" blog. Remember they're not MY opinions!!] By now you've probably heard about the draft bill submitted by Sen. Max Baucus. You may even have heard it's not a very good bill -- for the American public, anyway. But it's a complex topic, and a complex bill (even though it has been written in relatively plain English and posted on the Web, to the Senator's credit). So in order to clarify this complicated issue, here are the top five reasons why it's a really bad bill: 1. Premium rules that are a giveaway to the insurance companies. The first shocker in the Baucus bill came early on in the draft. Since I've worked in health insurance underwriting I have a certain familiarity with these kinds of numbers. I was stunned to see that the bill allows insurers to charge up to five times as much for some enrollees as for others, based on age. (By contrast, the House draft bill only allows them to charge up to twice as much based on age.) One of the things we've been hearing from the President and other Democrats is that insurance needs to be affordable to everyone, including those with pre-existing conditions. This new provision, however, is a back-door way to let insurers essentially evade that provision. High-cost medical conditions, including chronic (and therefore pre-existing) conditions, aren't restricted to older people, of course. But they become increasingly common as we age -- so much so that indexing costs to age addresses a lot of the difference. The Baucus bill allows insurers to use age as a proxy for costly medical conditions and make coverage prohibitively expensive for those who need it the most. There's a principle involved here. The fundamental reason we have insurance in the first place is to spread the risk, so that services are accessible and affordable in our time of need. That's why it's considered a social good (if done right). This provision goes a long way toward undoing the principle of shared risk. The net result would be to make insurance increasingly unaffordable to Americans as they age. Nevertheless ... 2. The individual mandate is in there anyway. Although I've been critical of the way many proposals have structured the individual mandate, I've always said that I understand the logic behind them: If you're going to force insurers to take all comers at a relatively average price, the healthy as well as the sick need to enroll. But if you're allowing insurers to charge much more for the (probably) sick than they do for the (probably) healthier, why have a mandate at all? You're not pooling risk in the manner originally proposed, so this is a heads-I-win-tails-you-lose proposition for the health plans. 3. It taxes benefits, slowly but surely. I've been opposing the idea of taxing so-called "Cadillac benefits" for a long time. This plan does just that, although they're not likely to be "Cadillac plans" for long. As I feared, the tax isn't based on plan design. It targets plans above $21,000 indiscriminately, regardless of the reason for the added cost. How is this terrible? Let us count the ways. First, it will hit plans hardest when they enroll older employees (who, you will remember, can cost five times as much to cover). That will penalize older employee groups, and will encourage employers to discriminate on the basis of age. Next, it will hurt people who live in urban and coastal areas where medical costs are higher (not that the Senator from Montana cares about that, I suppose). Lastly, if medical costs continue to increase at 10% per year, $21,000 will be the cost of the average plan in five or six years. This plan's good CBO forecast rests in part on this new tax income. In other words, it achieves much of its vaunted "budget consciousness" on the backs of the middle class. It's a lousy bargain for workers and business alike. Granted, taxes will apply only to that portion of cost that exceeds $21,000 -- but that portion will increase nationally every year. And the tax rate for costs above the cap is 35%, so it will quickly become a huge new burden. 4. No public plan option. But you knew that already, didn't you? 5. Co-ops can't always "cooperate." First, the good news: Co-ops will be able to share data systems and some other services. Given the horrible nature of the bill overall, I was surprised to find that. But they can't pool their negotiating ability to get better deals from providers on behalf of the American consumer. (Congratulations, Dems -- more money out of the taxpayer's pocket.) The draft language reads: "[Purchasing councils for co-ops] shall be prohibited from setting payment rates for health care facilities and providers." That means less savings to be passed on to enrollees." It's unclear whether this provision also applies to drug companies and pharmacy benefit programs. If so, guess who that benefits? After all, most physicians serve patients primarily from one state, so this provision wouldn't apply to them. Hospital systems may serve patients in two or three states at most. But pharmaceutical companies are national entities. If co-ops could bargain with them collectively (make that "cooperatively"), they could demand substantial savings. This issue needs to be clarified right away -- hopefully in the consumer's favor, by indicating that it does not apply to drug companies.Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/top-five-reasons-the-bauc_b_289380.html
