My last words on Murtha the tratior

I'm sure that in whatever afterlife he finds himself there are Marines.  They will give him the justice he didn't get in the this world.

Winter

I like Winter.  It has a stark beauty.  It's a time of rest and refection, to persue matters of the mind and heart rather than those of muscle.  Cold doesn't really bother me.  Removing the 16" of snow, well that was a bit of a hassle.

Mrs. Annoyed doesn't.  When the temperture drops below 70 she starts complaining.  Well, normally about now cabin fever is really getting to her and not the good kind if you what I mean.  Deep snow makes it worse.  More coming this week.

Pray for me.

Traffic is down, so....

Congressional Democrats that might not suck

It's a short list:
Collin Peterson (D-Minn.)
Ike Skelton (D-Mo.)
Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.)
Also cosponsoring Peterson's bill is Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.).  Good for her.

Three House Democrats are now pushing legislation that would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating carbon emissions, a decision the agency announced in December -- without express permission from the Congress.

Peterson explained that the change was needed because the EPA was overstepping the original intended limits of the law. “The Clean Air Act was not meant for this,” he said. “It was meant to clean up the air, to get lead out of the air. It was not meant to fight global warming.”

“I have no confidence that the EPA can regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act without doing serious damage to our economy,” Peterson said. “Americans know we’re way too dependent on foreign oil and fossil fuels in this country — and I’ve worked hard to develop practical solutions to that problem — but Congress should be making these types of decisions, not unelected bureaucrats at the EPA.”

Bless you, Mr. Peterson.  You're acting like a real representative of the people, I won't forget it.  Anyone that acts to reign in unelected bureaucrats can't be all bad.

They missed 824,000 lost jobs!

I must insist that you read this and send it to anyone you know that thinks the Obama administration is telling them the truth about the economy.

Here's a sample:

For months, the various government departments dealing with things economic–Treasury, Commerce, Labor and of course the Council of Economic Advisers and the Federal Reserve, have been issuing soothing words that the nation’s economy is headed back up from the Great Recession that allegedly began in December 2007.

But now comes word from the Department of Labor that, whoops, we “minsunderestimated,” as former President George W. Bush would say, the number of jobs lost.  The Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting that because of a “modeling error,” it misstated the number of jobs lost between March 2008 and March 2009 by 17 percent. In hard numbers, that is to say, the BLS was reporting that a record 4.8 million jobs were lost during those 12 months of economic collapse, when in fact the job loss total was actually 5.6 million.

They missed 824,000 lost jobs! Just to give you an idea of how many people that is, we’re talking about 10 percent of the population of the city of New York, and more people than the entire population of San Francisco.

And it gets worse.  The same broken model was used for the next year, so that while we’ve been getting all those soothing words about how job losses are slowing, and about how the economy is going to start coming back, in fact, the number of jobs supposedly created or added during the past nine months has actually been overstated by almost one million! That would be the entire population of the cities of Seattle and Miami combined.

20 Reasons Why The U.S. Economy Is Dying And Is Simply Not Going To Recover

I used to think we could avoid disaster.  If we could just stop the Socialists in time, we might be able to prevent them from destroying not only us but the world.  I don't think that anymore.

Even though the U.S. financial system nearly experienced a total meltdown in late 2008, the truth is that most Americans simply have no idea what is happening to the U.S. economy.  Most people seem to think that the nasty little recession that we have just been through is almost over and that we will be experiencing another time of economic growth and prosperity very shortly.

But this time around that is not the case.  The reality is that we are being sucked into an economic black hole from which the U.S. economy will never fully recover.

The problem is debt.  Collectively, the U.S. government, the state governments, corporate America and American consumers have accumulated the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world.  Our massive debt binge has financed our tremendous growth and prosperity over the last couple of decades, but now the day of reckoning is here.

And it is going to be painful.

It is now unavoidable.  Even Glenn Beck's analogy of a survivable emergency landing rather than a fatal nosedive into the ground looks impossible.  I could be convinced that the whole global warming hoax was really to distract us from the man-made economic catastrophe that's been creeping up on us in plain sight for the last 20 years.  Ten years from the now this country and the world are going to be a very different place.

An important fact about the Tea Party Convention

ABC on the Tea Party Convention:

The "delegates" here are overwhelmingly white

Why is this relevant?  Why does it need to be mentioned?

The first night's speaker referring to the president by his full name, Barack Hussein Obama

...and you know what that means......

James Delingpole (UK Telegraph) wants the AWG hoaxers to suffer

No prisoners.

Now suddenly it has all changed utterly. And you know what? I’m in no mood for being magnanimous in victory. I want the lying, cheating, fraudulent scientists prosecuted and fined or imprisoned. I want warmist politicians like Brown and disgusting Milibands booted out and I want Conservative fellow-travellers who are still pushing this green con trick – that’ll be you, David Cameron, you Greg Clark, you Tim Yeo, you John Gummer, to name but four – to be punished at the polls for their culpable idiocy.

For years I’ve been made to feel a pariah for my views on AGW. Chris Booker has had the same experience, as has Richard North, Benny Peiser, Lord Lawson, Philip Stott and those few others of us who recognised early on that the AGW thing stank. Now it’s payback time and I take small satisfaction from seeing so many rats deserting their sinking ship. I don’t want them on my side. I want to see them in hell, reliving scenes from Hieronymus Bosch.

Yeah, maybe it isn’t the Christian way. But screw ‘em. It’s not as though they haven’t all been screwing us for long enough.

I'm with him on this.  It's not quite so much the damage they did, which will still take years to undo due to the complicent media of the world not being very quick to admit they were on the wrong side.  No, it's the damage they came within a hair's breadth of doing: crippling the world economy for the next century, creating a one-world government, stealing the wealth of nations that produce and giving it to Socialists and Communists.  We were mere days from that possibility when the UEA data got loose.

Seeing how badly Copenhagen went, it's unlikely an agreement would have been reached, but the fact that the whole AWG hoax got so far as to get politicians from all over the world together to even consider the measures they were considering is terrifying.  They jumped on for many reasons, the poor and Communists because it would weaken the rich and take their money, the rich because it would give them power.  Absolutely terrifying.  Both the scientists and politicians that perpetrated this need to pay for it.

 I'm moving to a new apartment soon and I can't keep my boyfriend. He can't keep a job and I just can't support him anymore. If you would like to take on the reponsibility of a 21 year old guy who thinks he's still 15, and you have a basement he can live in, he's all yours.

He is tall, skinny, and pale with fuzzy bleach blonde hair . He's very sweet, doesn't leave the seat up, and is great at cooking and cleaning. He's a little shy but will warm up to you quickly. He would probably not do well in a home with very small children as he is very playful and might scratch them.

He comes with clothes, a ps3 & xbox 360 + games, a laptop computer, the motorola droid that I bought him for Christmas (I regret it - he never puts it down), and a toothbrush. E-mail me if you're interested. Also willing to trade for a slightly more mature (and employed) boyfriend.


Questions:

Q: Did he get all his shots? A: yep, he even got the flu shot this year - but of course, I had to arrange for that. On that subject, you'll be responsible for scheduling his doctors and dental appointments because he doesn't know how to do that apparently. Any health issues, and you'll have to be his defacto "mommy" because he's incapable of taking care of himself. He also has difficulty distinguishing between "wants" and "needs," so don't be surprised if you give him money to buy socks, underwear, and other essential items, and he comes back with an iPad or some other useless widget.

Q: Is he a good lover? A: He has potential. But his aversion to regular bathing might leave you feeling less than amorous once you've gotten a whiff of those sweaty pits. If you pick him up today, I'll even include the cattle prod that I use to force him into the shower.

I finally agree with Obama on something

Washington, D.C. — The White House is trying again to cut subsidies to the largest grain and cotton farmers while also proposing to slash payments to the crop insurance industry.

I support weaning farmers off of subsidies.  Subsidies come out of my pocket and are Socialist. They need to stop.

The president’s proposed 2011 budget would at the same time increase spending on school lunches and other child nutrition programs by $10 billion over 10 years — the equivalent amount of the cut in farm subsidies and crop insurance.

Oh, so he wasn't going to give it back to me.  He was just going to spend it somewhere else on a different Socialist program.  Never mind.
