Thanks Barry!


Each day I awaken to some new improved plan foisted upon me by the all knowing all seeing expert on everything, president Zero, Our Hero.  Today missile defense in Europe went down.  He pulled the plug. The Soviets are gleeful, they will be the major benefactors of this move.  The destabilization of our allies the Czechs and the Poles leaves them vulnerable on several fronts.  The void will be filled, either by the inept Europeon Union or Russia.  American influence in the region will wane.

......and what did we get for this move??......nothing.  Absolutely nothing


The kicker?  The announcement comes on the anniversary of the day the Russians last invaded Poland.

Zero, Our Hero.


UPDATE: The European view..... Barack Obama Surrenders to Russia on Missile Defence

JIMMAH!!!  

It's not enough that the lefties are throwing race cards around like they were, well, dollar bills. Now we have that favorite self righteous moralizer from days gone by...Jimmah Carter weighing. Cue the "Olde Fool" music.....

Former President JIMMAH! said Tuesday that racial politics played a role in South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's speech to Congress last week and in some of the opposition the president has faced since taking office.

Let me sum this up for you...former incompetent President defends current incompetent President. 

Move along....nothing to see here.


UPDATE:  Charles Krauthammer weighs in:

I think there are people who genuinely believe this, and then I think there are a lot of people who don't, but who want to use it as a way to stifle opposition and debate.

Look, in the Bush years, we were told that dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Obama himself as a candidate once used a formulation like that in talking about his refusal to wear a flag pin.

And now, dissent used to be the highest form of patriotism, and now it's the lowest form of racism. In August and over the summer, it [dissent] was a form of mob rule, a demonstration of anger, unruliness, anarchy, and now it has gotten worse.

Look, this charge is so stupid. It is also so offensive, and it's [so] lacking in any evidence of any kind that…this only helps the Republicans. And that's why the White House is not playing into it.

It will increase the intensity of the opponents of Obama healthcare and the [other Obama] policies, because people don't want to be told when they genuinely disagree with a policy that the reason is the lowest of all reasons, namely, racism.

Don't Laze Me Bro.....

Monday's Pun(s) !!! 

A streaker was found dead this morning. Police say the details are quite revealing.

Last night, I kept dreaming that I had written Lord of the Rings. The wife said I'd been tolkien in my sleep.

I dropped out of my communism class because of lousy Marx.

DASHED!


The perfect season gone!  Lions lose 45-27 to the Saints.  Like we didn't see that one coming.......

...........however.....

how about them Wolverines??!!!

M .....  Go Blue!!!

Dogma


Mark Steyn has a great article up on the shiftless center of president Zero, Our Hero.  Ole Zero appears to be hard to nail down however, Mark does it.  Wake up folks.  The last paragraph says it all.  Healthcare reforms a coming.....whether you want it or not.

Likewise, Obama didn’t “join” himself to the liberal leadership; he is the liberal leadership. The administration didn’t fall in with the wrong crowd; they are the wrong crowd. Van Jones, Yosi Sergant, and ACORN are where Barack Obama has chosen to live all his adult life. Even if he wanted to be the bipartisan centrist of David Brooks’s fantasies, look at his Rolodex and then figure out just where such a man would estimate the “center” to be.

My sense from Wednesday’s speech is that the president’s gonna shove this through in some form or other. It may cause a little temporary pain in Blue Dog districts in 2010, but the long-term gains will be transformative and irreversible.

It's Aloha Friday....

9/11/01

9/11/01 ....where were you? Do you remember? I do. I went home. Talked with my wife. Pulled the kids from school and brought them home, safe. Lock and load.

Many other Americans did the same. 3000 could not. They were gone.

Remember... "Are you guys ready? Let's roll!"

Remember... “What Do I Tell the Pilot?”

Remember...

Healthcare?

president Zero was out again this week trying to convince us that spending $900 billion to "reform" healthcare under some plan he has yet to draft is a good thing.  Zero snapped his fingers and called a Joint Session of Congress to hear his words.  The problems arose immediately when it bacame apparent that Zero really has no plan, (Don't believe me? Then produce it.)  Without a stated plan, it does not matter how passionate one is.....your audience ultimately figures out your selling them ice boxes and they live in Wassilla, AK.  In short, it don't work.

It got so bad that one brave member of Congress had the temerity to stand up and call out president Zero as a "liar".  While boorish behavior is not to be condoned, Joe Wilson was spot on.  Zero was lieing.  (need a list?) To his credit Joe Wilson apoligized for the comment, but not the accusation.  After days of harrumping, we now know he was right, the proposed bill would cover illegal aliens.  Even that olde fossil John McCain muscled in on the act playing the part of a useful fool in television interviews. 

Still the left continues to move forward declaring they may use the "reconcilliation" and force the bill through using parliamentary procedures.  The moderates in the Democratic Party are against this since it would most likely spell the end for their tenure in the next election.  The sign on the left pretty much sums up the public attitude.

I predict this will get even more interesting as the lefties continue to fight amongst themselves.  Pull up a chair and enjoy the show.

Van Go!

Van Jones, a racist, commie bastard discovered as one of president Zeros "Czars".  He had his old bunch of rabble rousers attack Glen Beck and start a boycott of his advertisers.  Beck did something that caught them libtards off gaurd.....he fired back, hard.  Van Jones was exposed as the racist, hate america, commie, cop killer sympathizer (Hang Mumia!) that he is.

So he quit.  Now he's just another unemployed hack here in the Age of Zero.  Prolly heading back to the Bay Area.

Yo, Yo, Yo,...
Wasssup!

Whew what a week! On the road meeting clients and trying to make a living here in the fabulous Age of Zero, Our Hero.

Things That Make Ya Go .....

Submitted by a "frequent contributor" from his beach front fortress in South Florida....
Of course, I added a few because, well, I can.

Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up
to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

Speaking of which...
I'm convinced that Kathy Griffin and Andy Dick are the same person.

The virtues of being punctual are largely offset by having to wait for people who aren't.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Assuming good judgment is earned through bad experience, the experts we
respect now were the idiots we laughed at yesterday.

A borrowed saw cuts anything.

You can hold their heads under water but you can't make them drink.

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

Forget world peace - Visualize using your turn signal.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Sometimes a man meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

Rest satisfied with doing well and leave others to talk of you as they please

Finally!


A bailout for me!!  Arghhhhh!

Tax Dollars to British distiller for Captain Morgan rum

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.

With little fanfare, a deal is moving forward to direct billions in U.S. tax dollars to an unlikely beneficiary -- the giant British liquor producer that makes Captain Morgan rum.

Under the agreement, London-based Diageo PLC will receive tax credits and other benefits worth $2.7 billion over 30 years, including the entire $165-million cost of building a state-of-the-art distillery on the island of St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, a U.S. territory. 


Don't get me wrong, I am still against the government bailouts for, as you can see, pretty much everything, BUT, if a stiff splash of rum is one's choice of dealing with this travesty, pour me another...at a discount rate.

....and bye the bye....it's Admiral Morgan on the good ship Rumbear.  We promoted him.

Cheers!

MONDAY's Pun'(s) !!!! 

A play, based on billiards, started right on cue.

There was a shootout in The Gap. There were many casual-tees.

The Buddhist refused pain-killers during the root canal because he wanted to transcend dental medication.

And for them WORLD CHAMPION Chula Vista Park West Little Leaguer’s

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Perspective.

Check out this overeseas headline and compare it with the tripe foisted upon us by our media. 

Here's an excerpt:  "Senator Edward 'Ted' Kennedy stood for sleaze. Bloated and drunken, he used his standing in the Kennedy clan to chase vulnerable women - which brought his dream of reaching the White House to a shameful end."

So what's up with our press?  The fawning tributes to the "Lion of the Senate".  The blubbering over the loss.  Please.  Since Old Joe was sent home from the Court of St. James the family has been a blight on the American landscape. 

Mark Steyn provides a breathe of fresh air......

We are enjoined not to speak ill of the dead. But, when an entire nation – or, at any rate, its "mainstream" media culture – declines to speak the truth about the dead, we are certainly entitled to speak ill of such false eulogists. In its coverage of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's passing, America's TV networks are creepily reminiscent of those plays Sam Shepard used to write about some dysfunctional inbred hardscrabble Appalachian household where there's a baby buried in the backyard but everyone agreed years ago never to mention it.

In this case, the unmentionable corpse is Mary Jo Kopechne, 1940-1969. If you have to bring up the, ah, circumstances of that year of decease, keep it general, keep it vague. As Kennedy flack Ted Sorensen put it in Time magazine:

"Both a plane crash in Massachusetts in 1964 and the ugly automobile accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 almost cost him his life …"

That's the way to do it! An "accident," "ugly" in some unspecified way, just happened to happen – and only to him, nobody else. Ted's the star, and there's no room to namecheck the bit players.

Remember Lee Iacocca ??

......the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? Sure you do.  That was back in the time when folks knew that handing the company to the unions was NOT a solution. That was back in a time when the debt incurred from the goverement was actually paid back.  Well, he's now 82 years old and is pointing to his book, released in 2007,  'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?' and having a deja vu all over again moment.  This just got tossed over the transom of the good ship "Rumbear" and I thought you might enjoy it.  Seems to be ringing true today......and you thought Bush was the problem.


Lee Iacocca Says:
'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'Stay the course'

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis ! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001 , we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.

We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.

We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are in trouble.

Our borders are like sieves.

The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina. Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in the crucial hours after the storm.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem with out a TELEPROMPTER. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on CNN will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.

If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell'em all we've had 'enough.'

Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about... It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!!

It's Aloha Friday....

Drill Here, Drill Now!

No not there, HERE! president Zero is now all for offshore drilling. He has even come up with $2Billion to fund it. Problem is the drilling is in Brazil! Yup, he remains steadfast in his opposition to drilling HERE.

But now Obama may start hearing cries of "foul" after the U.S. Export-Import Bank promised Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned oil company, $2 billion in loan guarantees to help finance lucrative drilling off the shores of Rio De Janeiro.

Some see a contradiction in an executive branch agency, independent but with board members appointed by the president, facilitating abroad the very kind of energy exploration Obama opposes domestically.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday he wasn't prepared to address the issue.

"I have not seen the story," he said. "I'd have to take a look."

Yeah, well, Sarah is on it.

But former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a vocal proponent of offshore drilling, had plenty to say.

"So why is it that during these tough times, when we have great needs at home, the Obama White House is prepared to send more than $2 billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation's state-owned oil company, Petrobas, can drill off shore and create jobs developing its own resources?" she asked on her Facebook page.

So we are funding the state owned Petrobras to drill in offshore Brazil. So who is Petrobras? Well, let's go to Wikipedia...I know I know, but check it out. $26 billion in profits in 2006, $18 billion last year. They are flush with cash. So why are we giving them a loan?

Who is Petrobras????......let's see who is invested in the company?

Hmmmm.......George Soros.....22% of his portfolio is there.

Prolly just a coincidence.

Drill here.....in the USA. Guess we should have been a little more specific.

No Good Humor Here!

The ice cream Nazi's are here! Spineless mothers who can't say "No" to their spawn are on the move against the once ubiquitous ice cream man! Calling the purveyors of summer treat "predatory" and a menace, the moms have banded together.

Woman Gives Birth on Pavement "after being refused ambulance"

A young mother gave birth on a pavement outside a hospital after she was told to make her own way there.

Mother-of-three Carmen Blake called her midwife to ask for an ambulance when she went into labour unexpectedly with her fourth child.

But the 27-year-old claims she was refused an ambulance and told to walk the 100m from her house in Leicester to the city's nearby Royal Infirmary.

Thousands of surgeries may be cut in Metro Vancouver, leaked paper reveals

According to the leaked document, Vancouver Coastal — which oversees the budget for Vancouver General and St. Paul’s hospitals, among other health-care facilities — is looking to close nearly a quarter of its operating rooms starting in September and to cut 6,250 surgeries, including 24 per cent of cases scheduled from September to March and 10 per cent of all medically necessary elective procedures this fiscal year.

The plan proposes cutbacks to neurosurgery, ophthalmology, vascular surgery, and 11 other specialized areas.

Hopey/Changey....How's that working for you??!

Ummm.....


What's up with this?

Mexico's Army took control of customs Sunday on the busy US border, as federal authorities pulled agents off the job in a massive anti-corruption shakeup, officials told AFP.

An Interior Ministry official said the dismissals were being carried out at all Mexican border facilities, and that the customs agents were being replaced.

Customs agents were sacked after some were found to be linked to contraband operations, according to sources at the ministry.

Run Away! Run Away!!

president Zero has heard the people and is in retreat!!! Acknowledging the high degree of ineptitude in the Health Care Plan, Zero the Hero is regrouping. First we learned that the "Death Panels" that we were assured did not exist...were being cut from the bill no one has read. Then we have the concession that the public option is going away, and finally the snitch line website is gone. Time to celebrate!! Right?!

Nothing "fishy" anymore, eh?

Not so fast.

Howard "Yeeeeaaarrrrrggh" Dean has weighed in deftly explaining that they will have this proviso in the final bill. He knows that all of the smart Democrats will realize that it really is best for you. By the by...what is the "Public Option anyway?? Notice that they have changed the name again??

I guessing here, but maybe even a be wise Latina would need a crystal ball to figure out what Zero is up to. What the peoples really said was they do not want the government in their health care...at all. No repackaging, re pitching and slipping something by....nothing.

The olde Rumbear doesn't need a crystal ball...I would not to believe a word Zero or any of his cronies says........ now, where is my Holy Hand Grenade?

Skewered

Democrats skewered once again by themselves. One of my favorites, Victor Davis Hanson points out, (no pun intended) the hypocrisy of Democrats wailing about anyone who mentions NAZI's and president Zero.

What is weird about the liberal hysteria to the obstreperous (and occasionally rude) town meetings is the complete amnesia about what constitutes reckless public discourse.

At one time not so long ago, those on the Left, and mainstream Democrats as well, apparently believed inflammatory language, Hitler parallels, and perverse expressions of real hatred were acceptable means to the noble end of discrediting the Bush presidency.

During the bleak days of Iraq, demonstrators carried swastikas and Hitler portraits of Bush habitually. Nicholson Baker wrote a novel in which characters are contemplating killing Bush. Films were praised imagining the assassination of the president. Michael Moore, courted by the Democratic elite, lamented that bin Laden on 9/11 had hit a blue state — and once compared the killers of Americans in Iraq to Minutemen.

Al Gore customarily used excessive language like "brown shirts." Senators Durbin, Kennedy, and others compared our soldiers to Saddamites, Pol Pot’s killers, and Nazis. Ward Churchill compared the victims in the Twin Tower to “little Eichmanns.” Sen. Robert Byrd likened Pres. George W. Bush’s policies to what transpired in Nazi Germany. Linda Ronstadt, Harold Pinter, Scott Ritter, Ted Rall, and George Soros agreed with Fidel Castro, the Iranians, and North Koreans in comparing Bush to Hitler.

Jonathan Chait wrote in the New Republic on why “I hate George W. Bush.” Garrison Keillor likened Bush’s Republicans to “brown shirts in pinstripes.” Even old hero Sen. John Glenn said of the Bush agenda: “It’s the old Hitler business.” In 1984, the Guardian’s Charles Brooker declared:

On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod's law dictates he'll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. — where are you now that we need you?

and who can forget Hillary screeching to the heavens in 2003....

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."

Here's the video.

The Libs are coming unglued. They are on the defensive and flailing to score some points. Keep it up....get out there and like Hillary said, be a patriot.

"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

There's your health care debate summed up by president Zero in a nutshell. Maybe all those closed Post Office locations we are hearing about can be re-opened as Obama Care Facilities!

He Was Afore It Before He Was Agin It....
