We Report.

As Doug Ross reports:

Anyone else notice a pattern?

• Republican Control = Bull Market and Prosperity

• Democrat Control = Bear Market and Depression

It ain't George Bush's market anymore....

You Decide.

Yo Barry!

Stocks fall as Obama fails to deliver details

Here's an idea to stimulate the economy...just stop talking! Every time the One opens his mouth, the market tanks. So just shut your pie hole for a few weeks. It's worth a try and fiscally responsible to boot!

Ya Think?

Dems Cool On Climate Change As Economic Pressures Escalate

BY SEAN HIGGINS
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 2/23/2009
To environmentalists, there is no more urgent question than addressing global climate change. The new Democrat-led Congress has vowed to pass major cap-and-trade legislation in response.

Later this year. Maybe.

While President Obama said in Canada last week that climate change remains a priority, Congress appears in no hurry to act.

Hold on there Skip. No rejoicing yet. Their fear in acting has nothing to do with believing or not in the GlowBall Warming myth. It has to do with imposing Cap & Trade tariffs on business when they have already beat the crap out of the economy with their "stimulus" tripe.

Trust me, they'll find a way.

Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Okay, how about smarter than Calvin??

Monday's Pun(s) !!!

I continually asked the track coach about joining the team but he just kept giving me the run-around.

My friend lives by a cliff he's always telling me to drop over.

I finished my trigonometry exam without a secant to lose.

Focus Joy, Focus....

Our hero Ann has her way with Joy Behar who was subbing in on "Larry Kings Alive?!".

That's why we love her. Here's an excerpt of Ann setting Joy straight, but you really need to read the whole thing...here. Lot's of good quips as she runs cricle around the host. A true battle of wits with an unarmed person. That's why we love Ann.

Enjoy.

BEHAR: Do people hate you?
I'd like to ask you that?
COULTER: No.
BEHAR: Do you think that people hate you?
COULTER: No. Not when I have seven "New York Times" best-sellers. No, I'm -- I'm very popular.
BEHAR: But you -- no, you can't have everybody love you. Not everybody loves you, Ann. People think that...
COULTER: You asked me if people hated me.
BEHAR: I know. But you say...
COULTER: And suddenly...
BEHAR: You're saying...
COULTER: ...(INAUDIBLE) saying no they don't hate me...
BEHAR: You're saying, though...
COULTER: (INAUDIBLE) everybody loves me.
BEHAR: But you said because you sell books that makes you people -- that makes you think that people love you.
COULTER: No.
BEHAR: Just because... COULTER: I said that indicates to me that they do not hate me, which was the question, Joy.
BEHAR: OK.

Growth Industry?

Lost Jobs....

Well so much for that job creation babble being spewed by President Barry.

General Motors was forced to terminate 49 employees from its now-eliminated corporate air operations department as one of the terms for winning emergency funding from Congress. All seven aircraft in the GM fleet are parked at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport waiting to be sold.

The entire flight department. Now they will just charter. Great cost savings.

Meanwhile Barry the Prez flits about the country for no apparent reason... hanging in Chi Town with the homies for V-Day, tripping on to Denver to sign a bill we HAD to have, four days after it's passage, on to Arizona to announce another $75 billion gift of your money and then back to Washington. Oh yeah, you know when the President flies a second 747 shadows the trip in case of technical difficulties, right? So that's two 747's for our imperial Pressident. Then we learn today he is off to Canada for "important talks". 4 weeks on the job. When does he work? Nevertheless, racking up the frequent flyer miles but GM......

NO FLIGHT DEPARTMENT.

Yeah, I'm Back.....

The Rumbear clan chose Valentine's Day to share the flu bug. Doing better now. Thanks for asking.

Leadership

El Rushbo spoke about the new program from Cessna yesterday. I finally found the links . Hats off to Cessna. A corporate aircraft is but a tool in the arsenal of the Capitalist. Do not allow Government to tell you what tools you can use.

Cessna will show you the way.

Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free!Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free! Free!

Ramos and Compeon are FREE!

It's been a long fight but they are home tonight with their families. God Bless and keep them safe.

Monday's Pun(s) !!!

I gave in when my wife hounded me about getting a puppy.

She had a boyfriend with a wooden leg, but broke it off.

Did you hear about the fire at the circus? The heat was in tents.

Monday's Pun(s)!!!!

Why did the admiral decide against buying a new hat? He was afraid of cap sizing.

After my friend entered a local biggest loser contest he informed me that I would be seeing less of him.

What is the best store to be in during an earthquake? A stationery store.

It's Aloha Friday......

Criminals For Gun Control

Yeah you read that right. Makes sense because well, here, I'll let them explain...

We, the members of the International Criminals Union, declare our position that all free and sovereign nations unite to ban the possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens.

It is our belief that our profession becomes more dangerous without strong and strict laws to regulate and prevent law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms. When only criminals and police can own a firearm our union's potential for growth will be unsurpassed.

The disarming of law-abiding citizens will allow our union to continue forth to the next generation with decreased risks of injury or our murder.

File under sad, but true.

The Big Boss

The One is now telling us to pass the Porkulus Bill or else! Or else what? Opposition is "decried as "inexcusable and irresponsible" ". Oh. Finally his coup de gras his penultimate method for convincing all to support this stinking heap of Democrat pork, he say "I won".

As Michelle Malkin says...Boo Frickin Who. Welcome to the big leagues sport.

America needs a leader, not a whiner. The President is supposed to seek out support and represent all. In the One we have a partisan hack who thinks he;'s still campaigning. That's right Goober, you won, now lead. Convince me of the merits of your little porkfest. Tell me how it will benefit me, us, them, hell, anyone.

I teach leadership. We work with ten year olds that watch videos and participate in games to learn about leadership. It is a learned trait. One of the first videos illustrates the leadership style of the "Big Boss". He the guys that shouts and orders and directs everyone. The course segment goes on to show how ineffective and self limiting this style is. The One is being the Big Boss. Maybe he never saw the video growing up....in Kenya.

Their is a lack of style and hardly any substance. Think spoiled brat. Flailing is the word. Lashing out. The Dem's continue to blame Bush. Last time I checked, he was in Texas.

Everything is a crisis. Victor Davis Hanson calls it "The Apocalyptic Style".

Let me get this straight: We borrowed and spent too much under Bush, so we must borrow and spend even more under Obama to rectify things? We rushed to do the fall bailout and now rue the waste and haste, so naturally we should hastily rush to do this even bigger stimulus? And we are not just losing jobs, but 500 MILLION per month! And this from someone who recently declared that she was SAVING THE PLANET—all 6 billion plus.

Charles Krauthammer writes about the "The Fierce Urgency of Pork".

"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe."
-- President Obama, Feb. 4.
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared "we have chosen hope over fear." Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

Yes, all is not well with the Hopey/Changey crowd. Krauthammer continues:

It's the essential fraud of rushing through a bill in which the normal rules (committee hearings, finding revenue to pay for the programs) are suspended on the grounds that a national emergency requires an immediate job-creating stimulus -- and then throwing into it hundreds of billions that have nothing to do with stimulus, that Congress's own budget office says won't be spent until 2011 and beyond, and that are little more than the back-scratching, special-interest, lobby-driven parochialism that Obama came to Washington to abolish. He said.

Not just to abolish but to create something new -- a new politics where the moneyed pork-barreling and corrupt logrolling of the past would give way to a bottom-up, grass-roots participatory democracy. That is what made Obama so dazzling and new. Turns out the "fierce urgency of now" includes $150 million for livestock (and honeybee and farm-raised fish) insurance.

The Age of Obama begins with perhaps the greatest frenzy of old-politics influence peddling ever seen in Washington. By the time the stimulus bill reached the Senate, reports the Wall Street Journal, pharmaceutical and high-tech companies were lobbying furiously for a new plan to repatriate overseas profits that would yield major tax savings. California wine growers and Florida citrus producers were fighting to change a single phrase in one provision. Substituting "planted" for "ready to market" would mean a windfall garnered from a new "bonus depreciation" incentive.

So suck it up Mr. President. Because with all your whining and complaining, your gonna get your bill. The votes are there and the age of the One is here.

God help us.

Da Tech Winter Carnival

Gotta get a plug in for the ole alma mater. It's time to toast the winter in the northlands of Meeeechigan! MTU Winter Carnival.

Tonight is the "All Nighter" working to finish the ice statues...the temp is -4F at 7:18PM local. Ya Heh!

Just Asking......

Given the recent path of Presidential nominees can it be long before a pardon and appointment are offerred to Wesley Snipes?

What was he given three years for.....?

Perspective....

The Porkulus bailout bill, a different perspective Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze?

Dumber Than Soap

Nancy Peelosi. The third ranking elected official of these United States. Today she said that we need to passt the Porkulus Bill because "...500 million Americans lose jobs every month...".

Using her figures that means we could have over SIX Billion people unemployed by December!

Oh. My. Gawd!

Here's the problem...

Population of US....currently: 303,824,640 (July 2008 est.) That's Three Hundred and four million (rounding up) for you folks.

Still having trouble? 304M is less than 500M...yet every month......oh, never mind.

Child Custody in Detroit

Detroit MI (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Wayne County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Detroit Lions, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Monday's Pun(s) !!!

Opening a new funeral parlor can be quite an undertaking.

Mathematics teachers call retirement 'the aftermath'.

What did the triangle say to the circle? You're so pointless.
