Signs of Intelligent Life Out There


Frank Luntz has been polling....

2. “By an incredible 61% to 14% margin, more people believe scientists will discover life in outer space than believe the current healthcare plan won’t add a penny to the deficit.”

This is fostering MY hope and now it's time for some change.  There are six other great bullet points in the article.  (click)  Mount up and ride to the sound of the guns.  (they are over there in New Jersey, Virginia and NY-23)

Oh Snap!! 


Biden's average favorable rating during his time in office so far is 45 percent -- well below the average 65 percent favorable rating for Vice President Dick Cheney during Cheney's first year in office. Vice President Al Gore's favorable rating during his first year, 55 percent, was also higher than Biden's. (Gallup did not measure vice presidential popularity before Gore.)

Sooooeyyyyy!

Here Pig Pig......

Our politicians listening and learning from the Tea Parties heard the public did not want, like, desire, or care to be anywhere near a "public option" for hellth care.  So they went back to the drawing board scratched their collective, uh ummm, heads and decided to....

.....change the name. 

Now, it's called the ....wait for it..... "Competitive Option" ...taadaaaaaaaa

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - A government-sponsored "public option" for health care lives, though it may be more attractive to skeptics if it goes by a different moniker, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday.
 
The speaker said the "competitive option" idea emerged during her closed-door roundtable at the Sunrise Senior Center with advocates of seniors and others who work with older populations. Wasserman Schultz suggested the term might be here to stay.
 
Pig with lipstick......same old hooker, new dress.  Whatever, ain't she purty now?

Gubbermint HELLth Care

I got your government controlled health care right here.  Pig Flu...yup only weeks ago we were told by the GOVERNMENT that there would be millions of doses, an abundance, a plethora...bilions and billions....Okay that last one was a tip to Carl Sagan.  You get my drift. 

Now we have long lines, no vaccine and the government says ...well, theres a shortage of the vaccine.  Enter president Zeros excuse machine.

Health officials on Friday predicted a shortfall in the supply of swine flu vaccine, as the numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths grow to levels unprecedented for this time of year.

They "predict"?!  Dude, there is not enough of the vaccine and if you are just discovering this ...we are worse off than we know.  Imagine if George Bush was President.  Hearings woudl be called for, heads would be rolling.  Katrina ....anyone?

Your government health care......coming soon....or maybe later.  Take a number, we'll get back to ya.

Some "rogue" bear in Alaska eats a plane for lunch.  Pilot returns to the scene.  Good old Amerikan ingenuity deduces that it was nothing that a little duct tape could not cure.  Here's the link for more info.




Birthdays!!!


The Rumbear is a year older.  Not only that, one of the cubs is celebrating her birthday today!  Good times around Rumbear Manor.

When Morons Act.....

"I'm against things," longtime North Carolina resident Pam Beucher said. "I'm for things."

"America!" she added.

"I didn't know Washington, D.C. had Seattle in it," said Connecticut resident Kyle Hinton, an idiot. "Anyway, stop the war! No more hate! Swine flu! Iran! Pharmaceutical companies! Illegal immigrants! Never again!"

At press time the morons had been walking for 10 minutes into a concrete wall in Kennewick, WA, where they eventually stopped to pay their respects to those who lost their lives during the Vietnam War.

Happy Birthday to our southernmost East Coast Editor. 

(Note to self: How much are we paying him?)

Rejoice! 

Yes, I mean it.  The Pope Benedict XVI has canonized five new saints, including Father Damian of Molokai. 

Father Damian, the famous apostle to the lepers, left Flanders, Belgium at the age of 23 to go on a mission to modern day Hawaii. "Not without fear and loathing," Pope Benedict underlined, "Father Damian made the choice to go on the island of Molokai in the service of lepers who were there, abandoned by all. So he exposed himself to the disease of which they suffered. With them he felt at home. The servant of the Word became a suffering servant, leper with the lepers, during the last four years of his life."

He continued, "To follow Christ, Father Damian not only left his homeland, but has also staked his health so he, as the word of Jesus announced in today's Gospel tells us, received eternal life."

The figure of Father Damian, Benedict XVI added, "teaches us to choose the good fight not those that lead to division, but those that gather us together in unity."

A life most worthy. 

Want more info?  Read one of the most riveting books on the subject....The Colony : The Harrowing True Story of the Exiles of Molokai by John Tayman.  It was on my reading list in 2006 so maybe you already perused it.  You will be humbled.

Nobell Pulllease Prize?

WTH??

"For what?" is echoing across the land this morning as the beleagured nation was awakened to the news that after nine (9) days in office president Zero was niminated for and today receieved....the Nobel Prize.

Wow.....

Speechless......

Here's a roundup:

"I think it's more of a Lifetime Pre-Achievement Award."  Mark Steyn

“It’s a peace prize, not a appease prize.”

“How do you say ‘jumped the shark’ in Norwegian?”

“Today the Nobel Committee announced a posthumous Peace Prize for Neville Chamberlain.”

“Why not the Cy Young Award, too?”

"Any chance we can get Kanye West to attend the ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize. Talk about a time for him to step up."

"Obama bombs the moon....peace prize follows"

“Let’s be fair . . . he did pull off the Beer Summit.”

Conservative vs Liberal

Ruminating.......

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful.
Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it’s a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed. If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.


$38,375.00. Sounds a little low to me.

 Twisted Minds..... 



Artists United For Pedophile Rapists:

I hope he enjoys his time in prison awaiting extradition.  

Polanski


He drugged and anally raped a 13 year old child.  He gave her a quaalude, refused to take her home and had his way.  He was 42 years old and she was 13. He then plead guilty and fled the US of A prior to sentencing. Arrested in Switzerland on an open warrant he is reportedly in a fighting mood.  Bring it on big boy.  I say hang em.

Mr. Freemarket is far more eloquent in his reporting, yet I believe he reaches the same conclusion.

One of life’s great pleasures aside from hanging lawyers & burying members of Greenpeace in the concrete foundations of a new bypass that is being built across a nature reserve is watching the liberal left getting itself completely arse about face over an ‘ethical dilemma’ ...

We almost got creamed by a milk truck. I was udderly terrified.


I thought I was investing in sea-going vessels when I bought those Chinese junk bonds.

The proctologist reassured the patient that his condition could be rectified.

Overheard...
on Jay Leno.

A new book is out on president Zero and his charming wife. Jay quipped....

“They said this one blonde was especially suggestive and kept rubbing up against the president. Finally, Michelle said, ‘Look, Chris Matthews, get away from my husband’.”

Hah.

War vs Olympics 

We learned last nite on 60 minutes that president Zero has spoken to his field commander in Afghanistan ONCE since his appointment two and a half months ago.

The military general credited with capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, says he has spoken with President Obama only once since taking command in Afghanistan.


"I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconferece]," Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.

"You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?" Mr. Martin followed up.


"That is correct," the general replied.

This is the same General that requested more troops three weeks ago. He is waiting for an answer from Zero.

Today, president Zero, Our Hero is flying to Copenhagen to twist the arm of the Olympic Committee to send the 2016 Olmpics to Chicago. 

A cynic might comment that Zero, Our Hero, has put more effort in to winning the Olympics than the war. 

I'm just saying.................

The dentist's alibi was full of holes, so the police performed a cavity search.

I once considered becoming a monk when I was young but I was cloisterphobic.

You Think So?


President Barack Obama is beginning to look out of his depth

It is lovely to feature in other people's dreams. The problem comes when they wake up. Barack Obama is an eloquent, brainy and likeable man with a fascinating biography. He is not George Bush. Those are great qualities. But they are not enough to lead America, let alone the world.

Regimes in Moscow, Pyongyang and Tehran simply pocket his concessions and carry on as before. The picture emerging from the White House is a disturbing one, of timidity, clumsiness and short-term calculation. Some say he is the weakest president since Jimmy Carter. 

CAN I GET AN AMEN!??  Hopey/Changey...how's that working for ya?

Bingo-Bango!


Charles Krauthammer weighs in on the flirtation of president Zero with the truth.


You lie? No. Barack Obama doesn't lie. He's too subtle for that. He . . . well, you judge.
..........
Obama doesn't lie. He merely elides, gliding from one dubious assertion to another. This has been the story throughout his whole health-care crusade. Its original premise was that our current financial crisis was rooted in neglect of three things -- energy, education and health care. That transparent attempt to exploit Emanuel's Law -- a crisis is a terrible thing to waste -- failed for health care because no one is stupid enough to believe that the 2008 financial collapse was caused by a lack of universal health care. 

So on to the next gambit: selling health-care reform as a cure for the deficit. When that was exploded by the Congressional Budget Office's demonstration of staggering Obamacare deficits, Obama tried a new tack: selling his plan as revenue-neutral insurance reform -- until the revenue neutrality is exposed as phony future cuts and chimerical waste and fraud. 

Obama doesn't lie. He implies, he misdirects, he misleads -- so fluidly and incessantly that he risks transmuting eloquence into mere slickness.

Precisely


Jay Nordlinger nails it.

I thought Barack Obama would be a poor and troublesome president. Did I think he would yuk it up with Hugo Chávez, smirk with Daniel Ortega about the Bay of Pigs, turn his wrath on a Central American country trying to follow its constitution, denounce President Bush abroad, bow to the king of Saudi Arabia, endorse a radical Middle Eastern view of how Israel came into being, knock Western countries that try to protect Muslim girls from unwanted shrouding, invite the Iranian regime to our Fourth of July parties, stay essentially mute in the face of counterrevolution in Iran, squeeze and panic Israel, cold-shoulder the Cuban democrats in order to warm to the Cuban dictatorship, scrap missile defense in Eastern Europe, and refuse to meet with the Dalai Lama — in addition to his attempts to have government eat great portions of American society? No, I did not. You?

Hopey/Changey...how's that working for ya???
