This'n'That; July 15th[InfoSec;NYSenate;Fluffy;Palin;HealthcareScam]

Personal Privacy In Danger? Last Sunday's Demogogue&Comical had an article about the security of one's personal privacy. As an illustration, the article told of what an individual was able to do with a Matrics antenna and a Motorola reader purchased on eBay for $190. The individual, apparently a resident of San Francisco, was cruising the Fisherman's Wharf area and in twenty-minutes, was able to capture the unique serial numbers of two pedestrians' electronic US passport cards with RFID tags. Within the next hour he had gathered 4 more chipped PASS cards from ONLY 20 feet away!! I was all for the Patriot Act but the federal government has failed to protect our personal information!! This will do little but enhance the hackers' ability to scam the general public, at least those how travel and find it necessary to have enhanced passports, driver's licenses, etc. In that vein, I've found something that should help.... www.idstronghold.com/secure-sleeves-for-passports-IDSH1002-001-/productinfoIDSH1002-001 This site has several sized protectors; passports, credit cards, driver's licenses, etc. NY Senate: Won...Lost... The KoolAid Media published an article on who won and who lost with respect to the powerbrokers in the New York Senate. My take is: There were two sets of "winners;" the primary being the "three-men-in-a-backroom" and the entire New York constituency of both parties. As long as the Senate was in a deadlock, no legislation has passed on to the next step, which equals no new taxes!!!

Beware Of Ulterior Motives! In his latest YouTube address, Fluffy obama said: "In a little over 100 days, this recovery act has worked as intended." If that's true and I believe it is, ACORN-COI wants to have an ever higher unemployment number, which has reached 9.5%, nationally. Remember, the more Americans that lose jobs, the easier it is to sell healthcare reform!! In that vein, when Fluffy says that the porkulus is working as planned, for once he's not taking his usual "liberties with the truth!!" They planned it this way; to have unemployment climb to new, unprecedented heights, making it easier to push ACORN-COI's marxist, socialist, statist plans to revamp the federal government!! Some Policies Never Change See where the auto czar had to resign? Yup, ACORN-COI hired another crook without properly vetting him. Steven Rattner is a subject in NYS' investigation into it's public pension fund fraud scheme!! Seems his private equity company paid one of the pension operatives a million $ or so!! What does this say about THE ACORN-COI-Fluffy policy of hiring "czars" who aren't subject to Senate confirmation or questioning by any committees!! The ACORN-COI administration only has about 30 "czars" on the payroll.... Oh yea, that brings up another point.... Fluffy/ACORN are THE ONLY ONES who decide how much each of these czars are paid-and they DON'T HAVE TO REVEAL THE PAYRATES TO ANYONE!!!!

Palin Targeted AGAIN Sarah Palin is being investigated yet again!! This is the 18th ethics complaint she's been subjected to-at least 16 have proven to be unfounded. This never-the-less, has cost her and her family over a half-million bucks!!! A "tidy sum" for a family who's not wealthy to start with!! Guess what this latest charge alleges?? That she used some of her state staff and accepted a salary while campaigning for the vice presidency. The democRATs will "play Hell" convincing me that Hillary "Rob'Em" Clinton didn't do the exact same thing!!! Where's young Cuomo, NYS Attorney General, on this?? He loves to sue "everybody-and-his-brother," so maybe we're just waiting 'til he sees the Palin article in his local rag. **NOTE: I'm gonna donate to her new PAC, you should consider it as well [ www.sarahpac.com ]*** The Healthcare Reform Fiasco, Part #487 Have ya seen how they're gonna pay for it?? They're gonna hammer "the rich" once again, to the tune of :

• $544BILLION [on incomes above $280,000-singles; $350,000-households]
• $37BILLION in other tax adjustments [creative accounting?].
• $500BILLION from cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. $200BILLION from penalties paid by individuals [2.5% of income] and employers 8% of payroll] who don't obtain coverage.
• Those companies with annual payroll expenses under $250,000 are exempt.
• What shlubs dreamed up this pyramid scheme.....Did they ask Bernie Madoff? ACORN-COI is holding true with their promise [or threat] to redistribute the nation's personal wealth!!
• They've exempted the vast majority of America's employees, those working for small companies.
• They're continuing slavery, albeit that of an economic nature. They are accomplishing one of their goals-putting more and more Americans "on the dole".. more Americans dependent upon the federal largess for their cradle-to-grave wants, needs and desires!!
• Subsidizing families with income up to 400% of the poverty level [$88,000-family of 4].

Can't they see that eventually "the rich" are gonna leave; gonna pull "a Golisano"... not just move to Florida due to the tax rates, but to move off-shore!!! Til Nex'Time....
