Get Your Bald Guy Tee Shirts Here!!!

Hank Paulson was just on CNBC, defending his abysmal track record by saying that "he wasn't an economist", well isn't that great, but shouldn't he have let that cat out of the bag before accepting the job as Secretary of the Treasury. Just sayin'.

It reminded me of a passage from a book I just started reading, 'The Sugar King of Havana: The Rise And Fall of Julio Lobo.'

"Guevara certainly made for an unlikely central banker. He loved telling the story of how he got the job. Supposedly, at a cabinet meeting to decide who should be the new bank governor, Fidel Castro had said that what he needed was a good "economista." Guevara stuck up his hand, much to Castro's surprise. "But Che, I didn't know you were an economist!" Oh I thought you said you needed a good "comunista," Guevara replied."

Thats right, Occupy Wall St., the mustached guy on your shirt was a banker, and a dumb one at that.

Greece Is The Word

Take a look at the two charts above from The Heritage Foundation It's unsustainable. And now the left is screaming to spend the "War Savings" (money no longer being spent on Iraq) on more entitlement programs. How long before we get to the point that Greece is at? Probably decades but that just makes it worse. Kind of like Dagny Taggert hanging on and making that rail line work... it's just prolonging the suffering. We need drastic changes now.

Galileo.. and Donkey... Were Right.

The Donkey as been saying it all along. Global Warming? It's the Sun! He is of course correct and no matter how much algore and his minions at the IPCC try to cover it up the truth will eventually come out. We did a post over a year ago about the CERN experiment done by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark. Nobody cared and in fact the global warming establishment tried to bury it. Then there was the BEST story. A Berkley professor decided to prove that the earth is warming, his research showed that he is wrong, so he lied about it.

Well now we have Professor Fritz Vahrenholt one of the "founding fathers" of the German environmental movement who actually did some of his own homework for once and guess what?

That's right he's now a skeptic and he's written a book. (i'm not going to read it. Donkey already told me it's the Sun)

Bring The Troops Home

This is something I've been saying for years. Why do we still have so many troops and so many bases around the world, and especially in Europe to stop the advancement of the Soviet Union?

Didn't Reagan already take care of that? Didn't we witness the destruction of the Berlin Wall? It seems a waste of resources to still have such a huge presence in these areas. I understand South Korea because we want to be wary of the Chinese but why Germany? Couldn't those assets (people/equipment/cash) be better used somewhere else?

What Do You Tell A Liberal With Two Black Eyes?

Nothing.

You done did told them twice already.

I WIN THE BET!

Too bad nobody took me up on it.

I will bet any amount of money! Jan 2011


“After the largest tax hike in our history, the state continues to be in this precarious fiscal position with persistent payment delays, and frankly, the situation is unlikely to significantly improve in the near term,”

Crazy that I was able to predict this without a degree in economics (or any other kind of degree for that matter) or a Nobel Peace Prize.

Paul Krugman is a piker.

Chavez or Obama?

In the United States of America the government doesn't have the authority to dictate to private industry like they do in socialist countries like Venezuela. Of course they didn't have the authority in Venezuela either but that doesn't stop a megalomaniac like Hugo Chavez. But that kind of stuff can't happen here because our president is restrained by our constitution.... right?.....eh comrade?

It Doesn't Make You Sound Smart

Probably because you're stupid.

The Daily Show!

With Reservations?

What does that even mean? You just agreed to indefinite detention of American citizens for being SUSPECTED of terrorism. Holder is hoping that doesn't include selling guns to Mexican warlords who then use those guns to terrorize citizens on both sides of the border.... but I digress.

Where does it say in the constitution that this is allowed? All of a sudden the anti- Gitmo people are ok with it as long as it's U.S. citizens? Where are the protests? Where's the pie in the face? I guess it's ok as long as it damages our country and strengthens our enemies.

The Truth Has No Friends..

Interesting.

Socrates felt that even though he was born Athenian he was a citizen of the world.

During his public trial he remarked that “A man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time” (Plato. Apology. 32a)

Obama's A Failure says....

Chris Matthews? Well he didn't use those words and what I find interesting is when he says " you wouldn't believe the stories I've heard". Well if it was a republican president I'm sure you would tell us the stories and try to make us believe them. So he's still carrying water for Obama even though he knows the guys a loser and I'm certain that his attitude will change when it comes to election time.

Is It Halliburton?

Obama awards 433 million dollar no bid contract to a top donor.

LA TIMES

Paterno Gets Canned

He's lucky he's not going to jail.

How do you know that children are being raped and not stop it? I think all of these people, everyone who knew anything at all should be in handcuffs.

The Perfect Illustration

I copied this from part of a post on Cafe Hayek because it really does spell out the difference between conservatives and liberals. It couldn't be more clear.


“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own. If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own.”
Barack Obama

Imagine being responsible for yourself.

Rape Tent Diplomacy

Well, you cant say that Occupy Wall St. isnt considerate, it seems they erected a "rape-free" tent in Zuccotti Park over the weekend.

In fairness, conservatives had a rape-free tent too, it was called the Tea Party.

You Down With IBD?

Yeah, you know me.

At this point, there's no swaying the warm-mongers, because they stopped caring about the science a long time ago, but I still get a kick of posting new revelations in the onslaught of information debunking the alarmist propaganda.

Paul Ryan: All Americans Have the Right To Rise

Congartulations!

Kudos to President Barack Obama for drawing down our troops in Iraq. Contrary to your campaign rhetoric, you have once again vindicated former President George W. Bush who signed The US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement on December 14, 2008 calling for all troops removed from Iraq by December 31, 2011.

Now, don't you think it's time to do the right thing, admit you were wrong and say that you are sorry.

But Bush cant do everything for you, and per Hillary's ad, we now know what happens when Obama gets the call at 3AM...

War, What Is Good For (When It's No Longer A Talking Point)

I have some serious issues with the legalities of some of Obama's actions and would like for him to confer with Congress regarding acts of war, but Im going to put that all aside for a minute, say something to the entire left.

YOURE ALL GROWN UP!

And, Im very very proud of you.

The Aurora was of the mind all along the past decade, that the anti-war position the left held was nothing more than an anti-Bush temper tantrum. That's why we never took it seriously.

But the turnaround has been nothing short of remarkable. Within a few short years democrats have gone from 'give peace a chance' to 'opening six-packs of whoop ass' and 'can you smell what Barack is cooking' World Wrestling fans.

I think it partially explains Occupy Wall St, as the professional protesting hippies have been bored being silently complicit, but there's really no explanation for the sheer bloodlust enveloping liberals.

Not too long ago, the left would have us believe splashing water on the 'architect of 9/11' was the single worse atrocity ever committed by anyone anywhere. Who knew they were just joshing?

Oh yeah, we did.

But seriously, we are proud of you. You have matured into fine young drone killing, terrorist assassinating, dictator toppling, rendition continuing, Gitmo time-sharing, good ol' fashioned blood for oil war mongerers.

Now, just remember this when a GOP is in the White House.
