Unemployment up – nothing to see here… move along, shows over.

Private Sector Adds 67,000 Jobs

U.S. Economy Lost 54,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Rises to 9.6%

WASHINGTON — Job losses continued to mount in the U.S. economy last month, though at a more modest pace than expected, putting further pressure on policy makers to take action to spur growth and employment.

Nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000 last month, matching the level of revised losses recorded the previous month, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday. The revision in July layoffs to 54,000 followed an original estimate of a 131,000 drop in payrolls.

Really are you shocked we’re still losing jobs under Obama? I know of no employer brave enough to add jobs or expand operations – most are hoarding what little money that are making along with doing the hide and watch – no one I know feels the economy is healthy enough to invest in or grow business in.

But don’t you worry this is the SUMMER OF RECOVERY! We are on the road to wealth and riches beyond our wildest dreams – the TRILLION dollar stimulus is working and if you believe in of that I have some swamp land land in Texas to sell you – cheap.

You know what can I say that hasn’t been said? Obama couldn’t effectively run a lemonade stand better yet the American economy so all we can do is keep him from reaping anymore damage on the country and try an fix it when he is tossed from office and yet this White house still wants you to believe that what they are doing is working? Please…

Obama’s Speech

Did you watch Dopey’s speech the other night? No, me neither.

I saw highlights of his speech if you can call it highlights – he looks bored and tired – like he’d rather be shooting hoops- guess he needs a vacation from all of his vacations. Naturally Obama failed to thank Bush or give him any credit for the surge in Iraq – what a classless piece of crap he is. 10,000 bloggers has posted about this so I won’t add to the list. I will say there are people in this world I really don’t like – I mean REALLY don’t like but I go out of my way to say something nice when asked or force to mention them. So I’d think that the President of the United States could muster a little class and admit that Bush’s plan worked like it or not, but then he would have to admit that based on his comments from the Senate he was wrong again – but I have yet to see anything he has been correct about thus far.

But as you know class and Obama mix and mingle like oil and water and since I’d rather take a nap than listen to Obama babble about things he doesn’t understand -  that’s what I did during his speech. I took a nap.

Beck’s 8-28 Rally thoughts and things

So did you go to or watch the 8-28 event that Glenn Beck had? I watched it on C-SPAN – I would have liked to have gone but time, money and scheduling wouldn’t permit it, but as soon as I’m caught up I will have nothing to do which is the joy and stress of self employment – and I DO NOT need any more stress right now, but that’s a story for another day.

So anyway I’m watching Glenn on TV  Saturday and Glenn being Glenn was choking back tears and putting forth the doctrine that we need to get back to God – I’m not one to talk a lot about God and religion after all it is said you never talk about religion and politics and I’ve alienated enough people talking about both, so I tend to stick to just one volatile subject – politics. As you know Glenn’s rally was more about faith and religion than it was politics and that’s fine. His current mission is “faith, hope and charity” and I get how those play into rebuilding America. Then Monday morning I was going to stay home a little later and work on my books – so I when to “Streaming Radio Guide” to stream Glenn’s show and it wasn’t there. Well it was there under conservative shows as it had been for years and at the top of the page I saw a link to a post from the guy (Art Stone) that started Streaming Radio Guide…

Where did Glenn Beck go?

Today Glenn told us we have to choose.  Either you believe that the U.S. is based on Deuteronomy and the Law of Moses or you are an enemy of God and the United States.

When any group or person says “You’re with me or you’re against me”, I’m against you.   Glenn is now way over the line in turning his program into a religious preaching forum.

You can now find his program under the category Religion.

Well I watched the rally and that is not the message I came away with and judging by the 100′s of comments to the post he made I’d say a lot of other people failed to hear that message too. While I could go back and quote sections of Glenn’s rally and say I THINK he meant this or that it would be pointless. My take on the rally was that we as a nation regardless of religious or non-religious beliefs need to get back to the fundamental principles that made this country great in the first place.

So based on Art Stone’s rather rigid ideology of “You’re with me or you’re against me” … I think Streaming Radio Guide is the great site ever and you are either with me or against me on that.” What say you Art? (Art by default would have to be against me – it’s you’re own words.)

I digress…

Now granted it at times I think Beck wanders too far down the preaching path and injects more religion than politics into his show but it’s his show he can do what he want’s… the irony is that a so called Preacher Al “Not-So” Sharpton had a rally too and claimed that Glenn Beck was desecrating the day. Disrespecting the day? That 8-28 was their day, that Beck was destroying the honor of Martin Luther King Jr – and to add to the irony Beck had one of King’s relatives speak at the Restoring Honor Rally – there were no King’s relatives at Sharpton’s Rally and just what does ‘Not-So’ Sharpton mean when he refers to 8-28 as “their” day? Who are “they”? The blacks? Somehow I don’t think that was Dr King’s message – one of division and separation in fact I thought that was what he was against. Maybe Sharpton knows more than every one else does, but I doubt it.

Sharpton and the Main Stream Media went on to criticize Beck and Sharpton appeared on O-Reilly and for once Bill called Sharpton on his BS… complaining that there were to many White people at Becks Rally – but no one pointed out that Sharpton’s Rally was predominately Black – but really would you expect racial diversity in a rally from a well known poverty pimp and race hustler.

At Lincoln Memorial, a Call for Religious Rebirth

Across town, several hundred people, most of them black, packed a football field at Dunbar High School to commemorate Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

“We come here because the dream has not been achieved,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil rights activist. “We’ve had a lot of progress. But we have a long way to go.”

Referring to Mr. Beck’s event, he added, “They want to disgrace this day.”

Glenn Beck crowd: Not so white as advertised

Here is a question – MLK spoke 47 years ago and I was 3 days old so I didn’t go – Sharpton has had 47 year to hold a rally and he hasn’t until Beck held his – why?

Al Sharpton aside I think something like a half a million people attended Beck Rally (Sharpton had a few 100) another 100,000 plus watched in on UpStream and I have no idea how many watched on C-SPAN as I did – make note that C-SPAN was real careful not to show the size of the crowd. But aside from not hearing about one single arrest it would seem that those evil right-wing conservatives that attended Beck’s rally left the DC Mall cleaning than they found it.

Glenn Beck’s Happy Warriors

After the event, walking from the Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool through Constitution Gardens, this reporter scanned 360 degrees and could not see a scrap of trash anywhere. Participants and volunteers had collected all their refuse and left it piled neatly in bags around the public garbage cans. Near Constitution Avenue, I did encounter one stray piece of paper—but too old and faded to have been left that day.

How dare they pick up after themselves – remember what the mall looked like after Obama love fest in Jan 2009 – remember? Check out the way-back machine to see. Quite the difference between tax paying conservatives and handout hippies of progressive liberals isn’t it?

All in all the Beck rally was in my opinion anticlimactic on TV as most events are it was just one of those things that you really had to be at to get the full effect – the real entertainment has been watching the left try and make head or tails out of the event all these people being nice to one another and not demanding handouts… crazy.

Oh one last thought – Obama said he didn’t pay any attention to the rally, but the people that attended are full of anxiety – whatever Barry. You know this event made Dopey drop a load in his Huggies.

Movie of the Week #32 – Black Hawk Down

Black Hawk Down

I the wake of our government dropping all of these so call Somali refugees all over our country I thought it would be a good time to remind you via this movie just how much the Somalis like Americans – remember them dragging the bodies of our slain soldiers through the streets? Well if you for got watch this movie and remember and then look up the news stories so you have more info than what Hollyweird told you. Actually Ridley Scott does a decent job with this story and the movie.

In a raid, a task force of Delta Force soldiers, Army Rangers, and Special Operations Aviation Regiment attempt capturing two of Mohammed Farah Aidid’s senior subordinates in the Bakaara Market neighborhood of Mogadishu. The mission is led by Maj Gen William Garrison, and was supposed to take no more than 1 hour. The extraction by the Delta team is successful, but the Somali militia, armed with RPGs, shoot down two Black Hawk helicopters, and the resulting rescue extends the mission to over 22 hours. There were in total 123 American soldiers sent into Mogadishu.

It just my damn luck

Sort of politics and current events and sort of not…

I’ve never been very lucky, I could buy 5 scratch offs lottery tickets with the odds of 1 in 4 winning and I’ll loose on all 5 – likely why I rarely ever play the lottery. As a result I’ve worked for everything I have and nothing has been given to me – no handouts here. Right now I am in need of a vacation – it might be this year it might be next year it might be never and I was looking at vacation deals online because I have a knack for finding deals – it’s not luck of finding deals, it’s looking high and low for them – so I just don’t stumble across deals nor do they fall in my lap. I hunt them down like the deals they are. Oh you can go use Hotwire, Priceline, Orbitz, Travelocity or any of those discount sites but if you know where to look and how to look you can find some real deals out there a lot better than theirs. However, you have to be flexible and ready to go at a moment notice or wait a long time to go because you’re banking on a down economy that you have the money and they want it. Keep in mind you don’t have to stay in their hotel, but they have to fill rooms to stay in business. Same goes for products – use the attitude that you don’t have to buy it, but they have to sell it and you’re in the bargaining drivers seat.

Anyway I digress, I’ve been all over the world and those I travel with have not and I’ve seen most of this great country blah, blah, blah – long story short I was randomly looking for deals online earlier this week (Aug 24) I do that sometimes for fun – some people plays games I look for deals and I came across this great deal to go to a foreign tropical beach and stay in a 5 star hotel with a free room upgrade to a deluxe suite and it was for 8 days and 7 night including round trip airfare all taxes and fees included for just $711.00 per person! Now that’s a deal – 2 people at $711 – that’s $1422 – toss in an another $1000 for meals, shopping, shows, local transportation etc and you’ve got a pretty decent get away for about $2500.00 – not cheap, but not outrageous either. Hell, we spent nearly that much going to a beachfront resort in Florida panhandle for less than a week last year.

Now, I know what you’re thinking ‘damn man book it!’ Well I was seriously thinking about it, but it was in Acapulco, Mexico! I use to work a lot in Mexico and I have no problem with the Mexican people or the ones here LEGALLY and truthfully I enjoy their culture, their food, the ruins and the beaches – not to mention the exchange rate is now 13 peso to a dollar. I also figured that Acapulco was far enough removed from the border that perhaps it’s was safe(r) there and I wouldn’t have to worry about the drug wars and all that crap – after all you can’t write off all of America just because San Francisco full of nuts nor can you write off any other country because of a given area.

Well I was still thinking about it this week and still thinking of booking it then I got home late Friday and what was the headline on Drudge?

Well what the $&%*!! Acapulco – that’s just my luck.

Actually it was 15 murdered – 15 Slain in Acapulco, Mexico

MEXICO CITY – Fifteen people were found shot to death Friday in and around the Pacific coast resort town of Acapulco, authorities in the southern state of Guerrero said.
Acting on an anonymous telephone tip, police discovered the bodies of six men along the highway linking Acapulco with Mexico City.
The victims’ hands and feet were tied and their eyes covered with duct tape, Guerrero police said, and beside the bodies were messages from the killers to rival criminal groups.

So it’s either my luck that I saw the headline before I booked the trip or it’s my luck that this happened thus killing a great deal… then again maybe that’s why they had such great deals in the first place or I could risk it and the deals would be even better – if I was soloing a trip you can bet your ass I’d shoot (no pun intended) for a better deal. Hell it can’t be any worse than staying in a run down motel in Compton, CA like I once did, but I doubt the other travelers would go for that.

So if you are wondering about deals and how to get them – I went directly to the website for the Festiva Americana which are really great hotels for the price in Mexico, Central and South America and clicked on “book a package” then pick some dates, but you have to play with the dates and as you do the price changes and make sure you play with the airlines to -  BTW SCREW Continental Airline those bastards have lost my luggage more than any other airline I’ve flown and that’s a lot and they’re rude asses too. You’re best prices are on Delta normally (at least from here) which also brings up your departing airport it can make a huge difference in the overall price – fly out of a international hub if you can – for me it means driving 3 hours to Nashville to an major airport but that 3 hour drive saves me over a $1000 in airfare that I’d pay flying out of a regional airport, it’s a drive I can make for a $1000.00!

A word about hotels – I like nice hotels but I don’t like fancy expensive hotels after all you’re on vacation and you aren’t going to be spending a lot time in the room and if you are all you need is a bed (knowhatImean) – so while there are some really great hotels out there I’d rather spend my money on something better than a room I’m rarely in – I generally leave the hotel in the morning and I don’t return until midnight or so/ So why waste my money on a overpriced fancy hotel? Who am I trying to impress the hotel staff?

Acapulco Beach

Oh and I checked around on the regular travel deals sites for 8 days and 7 nights with round trip airfare and the rates ranged from $2800-$5000 … none of them getting close to the $1411.00 for two people I got by looking around – I also found so good deals at East Travel Resorts – I’ve never used them, I can’t endorse them and I know nothing about them other than their prices look good -  BUT they have fixed packages and I don’t like those much, maybe you do. I want to do what I want to do and not what some tour guide thinks I should do.

Safe to say I’m not going to Acapulco anytime soon so I can’t be like Elvis and have “Fun in Acapulco” – maybe Belize or Costa Rica? By the way you can rent a nice condo in Costa Rica for $400 a week. (That’s what they are asking – I bet you can bargain for less or get some perks thrown in too if you try.)

(Final note: For those of you that think I should stay here and spend my money on an America vacation – I spend my money in America every day and I my very well end up taking an American vacation but sometimes you just need to get away from everything – the news, the phone, the language, the culture all of it and do something different.)

What about this Mosque in ….

Not Ground Zero it’s not Chicago no, no, no it’s rural Western Kentucky!

WTF?

Here is the deal some time back the local chicken plant, Pilgrim’s Pride got nervous about the number of illegals they had working there – the local folks didn’t like it and it was becoming a political hot topic as not only did Pilgrim’s Pride just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy they also had a company wide problem with illegals. So while Pilgrim’s Pride was a large employer in the area they weren’t employing locals as they employed a lot of Hispanics both legal and illegal and in a area high in unemployment this didn’t set well. Since the immigration debate was raging across the country – Pilgrim’s Pride quietly got rid of most of their Hispanic workers and replaced them with Somali workers brought in on a government refugee program – how the hell they end up in rural Kentucky I don’t know, but whatever.

So now most of the Hispanics are gone and they have been replaced by Somalis refugees. And they asked and apply for a permit to open a Mosque in a small building downtown with no parking and do this lack of parking and a small building the permit was refused on August 25, 2010 and on August 26, 2010 a Somali man allegedly tries to kidnap a 12 year old girl was arrested at the address of the purposed Mosque building. Kind of odd don’t you think? No in fairness just like every person in jail he claims he is innocent and didn’t do it – shocker there.

Side note: From my days of working around convicts I never met a single one that was guilty – so I asked them “Then way are you here?”

So here is the story – now I’m going to have to copy all of the articles from West Kentucky Star as their active links change as fast as the wind … Now, I don’t like copying full articles but if Joe, Ro, Donna or Dunker have a problem with it then call me and I’ll fix it.

From the West Kentucky Star written by Joe Jackson (not the song writer)

Board Denies Request for Somali Mosque in Mayfield
By Joe Jackson
MAYFIELD, KY – There will be no Muslim Mosque in Mayfield. The Mayfield Zoning Board on Tuesday denied a group of Somali Muslims’ request for a conditional use permit to open a Mosque in Mayfield.

The board ruled the size of the building was not big enough to hold the number of Somalis who might worship at any given time. The board also said there wasn’t adequate parking at the proposed site at 312 East Broadway.

“There’s really no off-street parking,” Commissioner Don Costello said. “There’s very limited on-street parking and the neighbors say they can’t use the spaces they’re not using. So it came down to parking and public safety.”

Pam Frizzell from New Wave Hair Salon next door to the proposed Mosque site said it would have definitely caused a parking problem for her customers.

“Our patrons have a hard time finding a place to park right now,” Frizell said. “I don’t want my customers to have to walk from two blocks away just to get their hair done.”

The proposed site only has six parking spaces and the section of the building the Somalis wanted to hold religious meetings in can only hold 40 people. City officials estimate there are between 150 and 300 Somalis in Mayfield and Graves County.

City Planner Brad Rodgers said this is the first time the city has denied a religious group a conditional use permit and he says this might not be the last we hear about the issue.

“This issue may not be over,” Rodgers said. “They could choose to go to another building. They could appeal this to the Circuit Court if they so choose. This is probably not a dead issue.”

An overflow crowd filled the council chambers of City Hall Tuesday for the public hearing. More than 100 people were turned away because there was not enough room.

No Somalis attended the hearing. Graves County Sheriff John Davis said one of the Somali petitioners showed up but was turned away by law enforcement by mistake.

Well the Somali lost that permit due to parking and building size – I know the area and that’s a valid concern also the building is very small which would be a problem for a large crowd. So what to do – maybe kidnap a child? Yea that’s it.

Somali Man Charged with Attempted Kidnapping
By Joe Jackson
MAYFIELD, KY – Mayfield police are investigating the attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl by a Somali refugee. Police arrested 23-year-old Yusuf Hassan of Mayfield Tuesday at 312 East Broadway.

If that address sounds familiar it’s because that’s the address that a group of Somalis had sought to use as a mosque before Mayfield’s Zoning Board denied it a permit. Hassan has been charged with the attempted kidnapping of a minor.

Police say Hassan approached the girl Tuesday around 5 pm on South Sixth Street. He allegedly grabbed her on the shoulder but the girl shrugged him off. He then grabbed her around the waist and tried to take her to his car which was parked in a nearby lot. The girl broke free and ran to her mother’s workplace nearby.

Police found the car and the girl was able to identify Hassan in a photo lineup. He was arrested and lodged in the Graves County Jail. His bond is set at $100,000.

So what you think about that?

I’ve read dozens of liberal bloggers calling the folks here backwoods rednecks, hicks, inbred, racist, intolerant and about any other derogatory term you can think of – but it’s funny I didn’t here them say a single word about the attempted kidnapping of the young girl by the Somali immigrant. Weird huh?

But it not just us redneck toothless hicks in Western Kentucky denying permits for Mosque they are doing it in Chicago too…

Let them eat Spam

Obamas Depleting U.S. Lobster Supply

So how much lobster are you having during these precarious economic times? What? You’ve had to cut back? No longer ordering it stuffed with crab meat, at least?

Well, if you happen to be the President of the United States or the First Lady, your lobster consumption is continuing at a robust pace.

I don’t know what it is in Obama’s world but around here lobster is about $10/lbs and you know this guy isn’t cooking his own – oh no you’re paying for it, to be bought, cooked and served. So let me ask you – when was the last time you had lobster? I mean a big meaty tail and claws – not some little bits served up in a Chinese dinner. For me and I love lobster – I could eat it every week, but I don’t think I could pin point the last time I had a lobster if I had to guess it was over a year ago in Florida and that was a Caribbean spiny lobster which lacks the big juicy meaty claws and this clown is eating it all the time – and lets not forget the Kobe beef too.

It goes on…

According to ABC’s Jake Tapper, the president savored some lobster tempura at the trendy State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard. Oh, just the thought of it. If he brings some back to the White House for me, I’ll write whatever he wants.

Lobster tempura? You don’t do that to lobster – you don’t batter up and deep fry lobster and then drown it in some over powering soy based dipping sauce! That’s just wrong! For God sake it’s lobster, not popcorn shrimp.

Monday night at The Sweet Life Cafe in Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard it was the lobster pasta appetizer for the president and a surf and turf entrée – the “surf” being a lobster tail – for Mrs. Obama.

And what would the vacation to Maine in July have been without a taste of everyone’s favorite crustacean. The president did it in a little less genteel fashion that time, heading over to something called Stewman’s Downtown restaurant where he was served the “Lobster Experience” dinner – just regular lobster, corn and slaw.

Poor thing… just a regular lobster dinner with corn and slaw – what no Lobster Thermidor, Lobster Newburg – no Chilled Lobster With Mimosa Dressing… oh the humanity!

But the Obamas’ lobster experience is not confined to these shores. Michelle Obama was barely off the plane during her voyage early this month to the Spanish Riviera when, according to the Spanish press, she dived into a feast of sea bass tartare, strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto.

Oh where is my Thurston Howell III voice at … sea bass tartare (that’s minced raw meat), strawberry gazpacho and sardines, and a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto – eww I hope the strawberry gazpacho and sardines were two different dishes – but at least risotto and lobster goes together. However I’d prefer an al dente orzo over risotto – but what do I know I’m just a hick from the country eating mudbugs and gator meat.

Michelle enjoyed the repast so much that she was right back at it on August 14 during the Obamas’ two-day Panama City, Fla photo-op vacation. There, at the Firefly restaurant, it was more lobster for Michelle.

Has this hog had a look in the mirror? She needs to lay of the lobster dripping in ghee and look into a diet heavy on the tofu because her “see-food” diet isn’t working. My God doesn’t she know there are children in Africa that have no ass.

The Obamas were supposed to be showing support for the good people of the oil spill-stricken Gulf, eating their seafood and so forth. So the big question is, was it a Caribbean lobster or one shipped down from Maine?

And who knows what lobster delicacies the White House chef is whipping up for them in between vacations?

No wonder the Russians just started fueling the Iranian nuclear reactor at Bushehr. When President Medvedev was here, Obama took him for burgers.

Well at least it wasn’t Borscht otherwise we’d be looking at mutually assured destruction right now.

Here is the deal – Obama knows he is an one term’er and he is going to milk the perks of being president for all it’s worth – I’d expect to see him and lard-ass take a lot more vacation before he is gone. I think Obama thought the job was like the campaign trail – all talk, adoring crowds and play with no real responsibilities and now that he is in office he doesn’t want it so the easiest thing to do is go on vacation and he does that quite well.

Question is how many more lobsters will be murdered at the hands of the Obama’s – can’t they eat spam?

(Pay attention at the 0:36 mark)

Joe ‘Bite Me’ Biden verses the Reality

First I want to say that I truly hope Joe Biden gets help for his drug problem – clearly after many of his remarks, he’s on them. Get help Joe – you need it.

Anyway I guess you heard what Bite Me said now…

Biden: ‘We’ve seen this movie before’

“For eight years before we arrived in the West Wing, Mr. Boehner and his party ran the economy literally into the ground,” he said. “We’ve seen this movie before, Mr. Boehner. We’ve seen it before and we know how it ends.”

Really?

Biden conceded that the economic recovery was not proceeding as fast as the administration had hoped, but claimed there was “no doubt we’re moving in the right direction.”

Problem is they’ve never said which direction they hope to go – if it’s down then that’s a true statement, otherwise it’s a lie.

Yeah that prior eight year really sucked deficit wise compared to Obama – what about unemployment? (NOTE: Bush spent way more than I liked but he was a rank amateur compared to Obama’s spending.)

Gee seems the unemployment under Bush was on average about 5.3% and under Obama it has been on average above 9.5% with a real unemployment rate is way over double that at 22% yeah the good old days they were horrible – if you were HOPING to be unemployed – but don’t worry Obama CHANGED that. Now unemployment is easy.

Well I’m sure Obama’s tax plan will make everything OK – right?

Obama’s Tax Plan: Bad for Economic Growth

Small businesses that employ the most workers would be particularly hard-hit if the top income tax rates go up.

Ok – well I was wrong about that – what else? Well BiteMe let’s have a look at some of the great leap forwards under Dopey and Thief…

Foreclosure rates surge, biggest jump in 5 years

More homes were taken over by banks and scheduled for a foreclosure sale than in any quarter going back to at least January 2005, when RealtyTrac began reporting the data, the firm said.

U.S. Bankruptcy Rate Skyrockets

The financial crisis just won’t go away. It has manifested itself in the poor performance of the housing market, the failure of hundreds of banks and an unemployment surge. One more problem that has emerged as a result of the recession is the soaring rate of bankruptcy filings across the nation. Bankruptcy filings rose by 20% in the past year, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. A stunning total surpassing 1.5 million bankruptcy cases were processed between June 2009 and June 2010, up from about 1.3 million in the prior 12-month period.

CD Rates are Falling: Bad News for Savers

The news of low overall interest rates could be good for borrowers and not so good for savers. Borrowers can look forward to paying lower fees when returning money on a loan which will them help pay off debt more quickly.

Savers are not so lucky. If you are living on a budget and stashing away money for later in CDs, you will not see high returns on those accounts. Many economists don’t see the problem improving in upcoming years. It can be frustrating if you are attempting to be responsible with your finances but not seeing much in return.

Food stamp use hit record 40.8m in May (2010)

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Number of Houston homeless children increasing at rapid rate

According to statistics released in 2009 by the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County, 2,891 homeless children lived in the Houston area. That number has nearly doubled in 2010, as 5,404 children have been reported homeless so far this year.

The number of Americans who are receiving food stamps rose to a record 40.8 million in May as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high, the government reported yesterday.

Tell me Joe do I really need to go on? We are on to your bullshit delusional lies and propaganda that things are better now than they were under Bush – Obama and Biden cannot point to a single success that their policies have yielded – not one! Oh the liberals will say the auto bailout was a success… really is it? GM is desperate to shake the “Government Motors” image and get out from under their thumb. How about the “Cash for Clunkers” program it was a fail. Oh they will say that Obama’s long delayed surge in Afghanistan was a success – a surge that fell 10′s of 1000′s of troops short resulting in a troop death increased to record levels under Obama. So tell me Joe what have you and the other idiot in office done that has worked? Where are the jobs? Where is the growth? Where is the booming economy? How about a easy one for the great communicator – foreign policy – how’s that working out? Not to good huh? So where are your successes Joe, where?

Don’t buy anything that comes out of this administration – the only truth I’ve heard is the claim of the “Fundamental Transformation of America” they just didn’t finish the sentence which said… ‘into a third world, third rate country.’

Yeah Joe, we’ve seen this movie you speak of before and you have too and it was shown in November 1994 and it will see it again this November when you tax and spend progressive morons are sent packing back under the rock from which you came. Remember Joe – what Nancy Reagan said “Just say no to drugs.” It’s good advice, take it.

Reality just ate Biden’s lunch.

And then just like that it was gone …

So I was mowing the yard riding back and forth for hours and around the trees. around the barn, around the garden with a million thoughts from work to deadbeats that owe me money to life to ideas for inventions to short stories to absolutely nothing at all running or not through my head and I had this idea for a blog post that was thought out, relevant, complete and fully composed in my mind. Sadly driving a tractor doesn’t lend itself to writing things down or even recording it with voice recorder – noise you know, lot’s of noise. So I have to rely on memory which is normally pretty good – but do to the fact I thought this up rather early in the mowing and not later, thousands upon thousands of other ideas and thoughts came and went and with every passing thought the original idea was buried a little deeper layer by layer and by the time I had finished mowing hours later it was gone.

Well I have fragments of the original idea which I could likely build upon but this one was in my opinion pretty good rant and the longer I dwell on this little post here the more that comes back to me – thus the reason for writing this which I normally delete and go with the original idea -but not this time… this time you get to see the ‘I forgot what the hell I was going to say post’ that I often trash to the dust bin of history.

So anyway – I was going to talk about which I’ll write about later is the fact that we all need to start being race-less, genderless, groupless America – the democrats and the progressive liberals want the enter country in little camps pitting one against the other. The democrats have no power if the people are united – they feed on division, they have to have blacks against whites against Hispanics, gays against straights, men against women, rich against poor, and in the progressive liberal eyes the world is full of villains and victims, a world full of lemmings – the biggest problem with the liberals aside from their need to divide is they need to tell you how to live – but that’s another post I thought up – the primary difference between liberals and conservatives is freedom… liberals hate freedom, because free people are hard to control.

So stay tuned – I’m still incredibly busy and I’ll post what I can when I can – I still have to work a real job since this blog pays so well (NOT) at least I remember what I was going to say and that’s was the goal – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Movie of the Week #31 – Dude, Where’s My Car?

Dude, Where’s My Car?

After the week I’ve had you have to have mindless entertainment and this is one of those films that is so incredibly stupid it’s funny and this one is right up there with ‘Joe Dirt’ and then ‘Wayne’s World’ – simple sophomoric brainless humor and then a really crappy week doesn’t seem so bad and then you can laugh and then you can forget the morons and then watch the ones on screen and then nothing else and then watch the movie and then it’s on NetFlix streaming and then watch the YouTube below and then….

Dude, Where’s My Car is a film you will either laugh at or hate – I haven’t really found in middle ground amongst critics and reviews it seems a lot of people really, really hat this movie but I’m guessing that are uppity asses looking for films with deep meaning or a message – no message here just mindless comedy.

and then…?
