I laughed out loud when I saw the Green Police Ad during the Super Bowl...then got quiet. Satire lies somewhere between truth and sanity....however, these days...INSANITY seems to prevail, and WE LET IT!
Of course, this article and it's DUMB policies emanate from the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts.....the home of Barney Frank.....NEED I say more?
American Thinker: Green Police Aren't Just in Super Bowl Ads:
If you've been watching the daily scandals destroy the credibility of the U.N. IPCC, then you might not realize that Cambridge, Massachusetts is in a state of climate emergency. This is not hyperbole, but an official policy order, passed by the City Council in May 2009, 'recogniz[ing] that there is a climate emergency' and requesting the City Manager 'to direct the appropriate city departments to increase the City's responses to a scale proportionate to the emergency.'"

American Thinker: An Obamageddon Snow Job
As I sat here scanning today's many news stories and as usual, got whiplash....
I saw where "they" announced Cap & Trade dead....then...alive!
I saw there would be no new Stimulus Package, then...there would...but no, it's a Job's Bill....?....it's alive!
Then the Health Care behemoth....it's dead, wait....NO!...it's alive...!!!!
I feel each day I'm watching news emanate from Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory!
"It's Alive!!!" He cried....!!! No, not the good doctor, but Obama himself.
Each time we think these are going away, or dead.....they pop up again.
As I watched the "Big Bank Theory" last week - Sheldon, the braniac of the bunch, went off the proverbial deep end trying to deal with an onslaught of esoteric theories ( sound familiar?) and surfed under the ball cage at a Chucky Cheese knock-off.
Every once in a while he'd burst through the colored balls yelling BAZINGA! Then submerge again only to pop up 10 feet down wind once again championing BAZINGA!!! His friend tried to stop him, only to be met with one explosion after another of colored balls and cries of BAZINGA!
That's what it feels like trying to watch the Obama Administration....
As tired as we all are....We MUST stay the course.
We MUST stay on top of this....we can't let THEM Yell BAZINGA! Because when they do, it's because they have won....and that will be a great loss to America!
American Thinker: An Obamageddon Snow Job:
A snow job is defined as in 'intensive effort at persuasion or deception.' Thus, it stands to reason that Barack Obama remained undaunted during the biggest blizzard to hit Washington, D.C. since 1922. The historic snowstorm brought down the nation's capital, culminating a year-long 'snow job' administered by 'historic' President Barack Obama."

American Thinker Blog: Crippled By Blizzard, DC Announces New Global Warming Agency by Phone:
On Monday, the nation’s capital was still digging out from the weekend’s record snowfall that would effectively shut down the federal government for days. Making matters worse was the awareness among DC residents that their shoveling would require a repeat performance quite soon, as another major winter storm was due to hit early Wednesday. What a perfect day to announce the formation of a new federal agency to study and report on global warming."

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) on Tuesday used the D.C. snowstorm to make a political jab, saying that it provides evidence for global warming skeptics.
The conservative senator took to Twitter on Tuesday amid reports that the area is due to receive another 10 to 20 inches of snow this week:
It's going to keep snowing in DC until Al Gore cries 'uncle'
Some conservatives have echoed DeMint's sentiments that the snowstorm should poke holes in evidence backing global warming."

As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement.
NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.
Earlier snowmelt? That would be nice."

Google to enlist NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks:
The world's largest Internet search company and the world's most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.

The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack."

A few weeks ago, we covered the latest scandal with the IPCC, the climate arm of the UN. It seems they were sourcing the imminent melting of glaciers to an off handed comment in a phone conversation, NOT peer reviewed science.
At the time, the head of the IPCC Rajendra K. Pachauri said “I became aware of this when it was reported in the media about ten days ago.” Unfortunately for him, it’s now been revealed he was actually told about it months earlier, reportedly in November."

Brown Surprise: Seat Me Now! - The Atlantic Politics Channel:
Now that his election as Senator from Massachusetts has been certified, Scott Brown wants to get to work -- and much more quickly than his colleagues in the Senate had prepared for. Brown's campaign counsel asked Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick to sign the formal certification by tomorrow morning, so Brown can take the papers and present them to the Senate tomorrow and demand that he be seated."

Republicans say Obama loan program is first step toward TARP slush fund | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment
Republicans say Obama loan program is first step toward TARP slush fund | The Daily Caller :
Republicans accused President Obama on Tuesday of taking a step toward using the $700 billion Wall Street bailout as a slush fund, a possibility many worried about when the Troubled Asset Relief Program was first created during the economic panic of 2008.
“Our TARP should not be a piggy bank. It was intended to stabilize the financial system. It has stabilized the financial system. As it is paid back with interest it should go to reduce the debt,” Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican and ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, said in a brief interview."

Obama Budget Taxes Domestic Energy - HUMAN EVENTS
Obama should stop trashing Vegas....he could headline there with his magical slight of hand budget tricks! He'd be the biggest magic act on the strip.....what he giveth - he taketh away FIRST!
Obama Budget Taxes Domestic Energy - HUMAN EVENTS:
Here we go again. The pole vault and parachutes plan for killing America’s domestic oil and gas industry reared its ugly head again yesterday in the Obama budget proposal. With the job and industry-killing cap and trade national energy tax warming a back bench during an election year -- if not riding out the entire Obama Recession -- the new budget proposal (pdf, page 4) seeks to impose nearly $40 billion in new taxes on America’s domestic oil and gas producers.
These taxes won’t simply affect large producers like Exxon/Mobil or Shell Oil companies but will sound the death knell for the small businesses that comprise the overwhelming majority of domestic energy production."

The Biggest Jerk in Congress - HUMAN EVENTS
I'm glad somebody is finally saying it!
The Biggest Jerk in Congress - HUMAN EVENTS:
Every school, club, or company has a loudmouth whose outrageous statements and failed attempts at humor cause his friends to shy away, feigning laughter and everyone to think “what a jackass.”
Congress always has more than its fair share of such people, and suffers them gladly. Well, most of them. But this congress contains a man who rises above the rest, distinguishing himself beyond all others as this session’s “Biggest Jerk In Congress.” He is Representative Alan Grayson, a first-term Democratic Congressman from Florida’s historically Republican 8th Congressional District, which includes Orlando."

President Obama backs down from Las Vegas dig - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chided President Barack Obama Tuesday for making Las Vegas a “poster child” for excessive spending.
“I just spoke to the White House and told them that while the president is correct that people saving for college need to be fiscally responsible, the president needs to lay off Las Vegas and stop making it the poster child for where people shouldn't be spending their money,” Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, said in a statement."

Nancy Pelosi heads for a two-track plan for health care reform - Patrick O'Connor and Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com
Though I agree with this - watch out! It's a back door ploy!!!!!!
Nancy Pelosi heads for a two-track plan for health care reform - Patrick O'Connor and Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com:
With the broader health care bill still perilously close to collapse, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to take a shot at the health insurance industry next week by scheduling a vote on a smaller bill to revoke its half-century-old exemption from antitrust laws.
The vote is part of her new two-track strategy to tackle things that won’t be included in a more sweeping bill — if Congress ever passes one — while giving her members something politically popular to vote on. The move also puts pressure on Republicans, the industry and wavering Democrats, who wish their leaders would abandon the push altogether."

Where inthehell is Scott Brown? The voters have spoken! Why hasn't he been sworn in? And why is Kirk still voting? How inthehell is that legal? Kirk became the 60th vote for raising the debt ceiling. Would Brown have voted yea?
And why is no one mentioning it? I've only found one small mention of this fact, even in the blogosphere.
Time to get grumpy."

Excellent Article - now STOP BLAMING BUSH!!!!!!!!!!
American Thinker: The Lost Decade:
President Obama called the 'oughts' (2000-2009) the 'lost decade.' That was his way, yet again, of blaming Bush. More precisely, it was Obama heeding the advice of Homer Simpson.
The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here."

American Thinker Blog: Why Obama's tax incentives for small business will backfire
American Thinker Blog: Why Obama's tax incentives for small business will backfire:
President Obama proposed to give tax incentives to small businesses to hire more people. This sounds like a generally good idea, unless you happen to have any practical experience which is sorely lacking in this administration.
Suppose you are a business that has held on to valuable employees for the last year at a great financial cost. You are now supposed to compete with a startup that has preferential tax treatment because he is hiring new employees. Or perhaps you must now compete with an existing competitor that was less financially sound and thus had to lay off workers. He may now get a tax break to hire them back. You must then compete with more expensive workers than your competition. Instead of creating an incentive to hire you may have created an incentive to lay off workers."

The American Spectator : Just Walk Away
The American Spectator : Just Walk Away:
In his State of the Union address, the President implored Congress not to 'walk away' from healthcare reform. With Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, and growing skepticism among Americans, passage of a 'comprehensive' healthcare bill is looking less and less likely every day.
And for good reason. The House and Senate versions of healthcare reform are nearly 2,000 pages long. Some of the most expensive provisions in the bills are effectively unfunded and will indeed exacerbate our federal fiscal catastrophe."

What Ails Small Businesses - Stephen Spruiell - The Corner on National Review Online
AM....A $5000.00 tax "credit" for hiring.....however on the other side, the cost of Health Care per employee is equal if not surpassing that....AND...the Obama Administration plans on sunsetting all of the Bush Tax Cuts - which slam the Small Business from the other side. I wouldn't hire if you PAID ME...oh yeah....that's what your saying your doing....HA!
What Ails Small Businesses - Stephen Spruiell - The Corner on National Review Online:
Thanks for that post. You hit the nail on the head. As the owner of a 16 year old wholesale computer parts company with about 50 total employees here and in England, I can tell you it’s not about easy loans and tax credits for hiring.
As you say, it is risk aversion. It is the knowledge that my taxes are going to go up and also we just don’t see other businesses willing to take inventory positions right now."
