Taking Obama Seriously

Posted in Politics on July 16th, 2011

Obama mouths a lot words off of his teleprompter about how he’s trying to either save or protect “normal Americans” from the evils of the “Rich Old White Men” on Wall Street and the GOP.

It’s Difficult To Take Obama Seriously

He’s got more than a bit of a credibility problem though since by all tangible measurements America’s economy is in a worse and worsening state after he and his cabal of Liberals spent close to a trillion dollars that we didn’t have to fix it only to leave us with a persistent 9%+ official unemployment rate, which is significantly higher than Obama said America would suffer without his Porkulus package.

But, to be fair, he’s pretty good at golf. :-D

28 Months Later

Posted in 2012 Election on June 17th, 2011

The Liberals’ Porkulus, which Obama dutifully signed into law, has been weighing upon America for 28 months. Where is the recovery? Where are the jobs?


28 Months Later – The Obama Economic Zombie Apocalypse

Yet, even after all this time, Obama’s zombies are still staggering and shuffling around, seeking to devour Americans’ brain which is the only rationally conceivable way that anyone would vote to reelect this trumped up fool to office.

I suppose that there’s not much point in continuing much further in the post beyond remind to all Americans good and true that zombies are best dealt with by one or more bullets to the head.

Feeding The Monkeys

Posted in Politics, Society on January 27th, 2011

Feeding the Monkeys” is slang for doing something that you know is stupid, unwise, and/or contra-indicated. It almost always has a negative result. It is also a very apt metaphor for America’s ever-expanding entitlement programs.


Feeding The Monkeys Is Not A Wise Choice

The maddening fact that these “safety net” entitlement programs bear greatest resemblance to animal husbandry than anything meant to foster, or even maintain, human dignity just makes the comparison more accurate and pointed.

All we’ll ever get by feeding the monkeys is feeding frenzies, hand-out recipients squabbling and stealing each others’ “Government Manna,” and uncontrolled population increase among the subsidized groups. Worse, after some time being “fed,” neither they nor their progeny are capable of “being released back into the wild.”

This holds equally true for any all corporations that were declared Too Big To Fail and/or those industries that are now or have been receiving copious federal subsidies.

It’s all the same. It doesn’t matter if they’re sagging and wearing Ecko, Sean John, or Apple Bottom, or they’re in Brooks Brothers, Hermes, or Ralph Lauren; the feeding frenzy is fundamentally the same as is the expectancy that the trough will be refilled.
