Buddy can you spare.....4 Trillion?

This administration just gets better and better each day. When I wake up each morning, there is another storyline in which I say WTF? 400 Billion here, 700 Billion there, another 750 Billion, 75 Billion for irresponsible homeowners, and now today, the unveiling of a 3.6 Trillion dollar budget by the Messiah-in-Chief.

Here is an snippet of an article written by Dick Morris, former Bill Clinton and Trent Lott advisor on TheHill.com today:

In addressing this panic, the president of the United States must truly be the leader of the world — showing the way back to confidence.Instead, Obama has been instrumental in purveying fear and spreading doubt. It is his pronouncements, reinforced by the developments they kindle and catalyze, that are destroying good businesses, bankrupting responsible people and wiping out even conservative financial institutions. Every time he speaks, he sends the markets down and stocks crashing. He doesn’t seem to realize that the rest of the world takes its cue from him. He forgets that he stands at the epicenter of power, not on the fringes campaigning for office. This ain’t Iowa.Why does Obama preach gloom and doom? Because he is so anxious to cram through every last spending bill, tax increase on the so-called rich, new government regulation, and expansion of healthcare entitlement that he must preserve the atmosphere of crisis as a political necessity. Only by keeping us in a state of panic can he induce us to vote for trillion-dollar deficits and spending packages that send our national debt soaring.And then there is the matter of blame. The deeper the mess goes — and the further down his rhetoric drives it — the more imperative it becomes to lay off the blame on Bush. He must perpetually “discover” — to his shock — how deep the crisis that he inherited runs, stoking global fears in the process.So, having inherited a recession, his words are creating a depression. He entered office amid a disaster and he is transforming it into a catastrophe, all to pass every last bit of government spending and move us a bit further to the left before his political capital dwindles.But the jig will be up soon. The crash of the stock market in the days since he took power (indeed, from the moment he won the election) can increasingly be attributed to his own failure to lead us in the right direction, his failed policies in addressing the recession and his own spreading of panic and fear. The market collapse makes it evident that it is Obama who is the problem, where he should, instead, be the solution.

The stock market has crashed since it appeared Obama was going to win his party's nomination. May 6th, 2008, the market was at 13,000 plus change, it was at 9,000 the first trading day of 2009, and is hovering around 7200 currently. And I believe the market will dip to 6,000 before getting a bounce later in the year before reaching somewhere around 8500 before Thanksgiving. If you are still in the market, get out then.

This Nation cannot afford this wildass spending spree it is on. The Messiah has put forth a budget with 640 million dollars for universal health care? Excuse me? When was there a debate regarding universal health care? I guess I missed that. When was that? I'd like to be able to go back and get that debate from the C-SPAN website. OOOppps, there wasn't one. We are going to start taxing folks for a program which doesn't exisit yet. Yip, yip, yahoo.

The Nation is in crisis, The Messiah has mentioned crisis over 100 times in the past two weeks, and what are you representatives doing in the Senate today?
Taking a vote on restricting talk radio.
Giving full voting privileges to DC representatives in the House
And now Barbara Boxer is squawking about the "Primate Safety Act" to restrict the interstate transportation of primates, passed by the House earlier this week. This is a pressing issue. In this current climate, if we don't restrict primate transportation interstate, the entire Nation could collapse.

I'm so freaking sick of hearing these folks, just like Ms Boxer, refer to the Republicans as "my friend" across the aisle. Ms. Boxer, Mr. Vidder isn't your friend and if you are thinking you are being "bi-partisan" when you refer to Mr. Vidder as my friend, it's nothing more than a gratuitous wordspeak while you run the Socialist agenda of this Administration. I support passing the "Primate Safety Act" then you in monkeys in Congress won't be able to travel home.

Random news thoughts of the day..........

Bucs Backlash?
After listening to the new Bucs head coach today in a presser regarding the release of 5 players with nearly 60 years of NFL experience, I fear, this 32 year old has no clue. I gave him the benefit of the doubt on his first presser when Gruden was fired and he was announced as the head coach, but this afternoon, I fear this man has no idea what it takes to be a head coach. A 6-10 season will be a positive next year Bucs fans. My free agent preview will be posted tomorrow.
I, as a fan, was very upset in the manner Brooks was released.

Gas Pumps-
I noticed a trend while pumping gas this past summer once gasoline reached 4.00 a gallon. Say for instance you pre paid 20.00 at your pump. It seemed as if the pumps flew through the first 19.50 worth of gas at a speed with would make a NASCAR pitcrew feel proud, and then the last 50 cents crawled through the pump at a speed which you could watch paint dry. What's up with this? Are gas stations trying to make us feel like we are getting more for our time at the pump? We're already bent over, just let the gas fly and get the hurt over with as fast as possible.

Chimp laws-
Oh boy! The House yesterday took up debate and passage of a bill outlawing the interstate transportation of chimps in response to the woman who was attacked in New York 2 weeks ago. Is there not something more pressing than passing laws on chimps? I guess not. Obama routinely spouts off that this is the worst economy since the Great Depression, but the House needed to move on the fast track for Chimp reform. If the Senate passes the bill, and Obama signs it into law, how will all the monkeys in Congress ever be able to travel back home? What a freaking waste of time by the self anointed in DC.

3rd time a charm?
Obama has once again, actually for the third time, announced his selection for Commerce secretary. Former Governor, Gary Locke from the socialist state of Washington. Has he used TurboTax? One thing is for sure, he had his brother-in-law living in the Governor's Mansion at the same time the brother-in-law was awarded a large state government contract and while he was actively lobbying the state government. This is going to be a transparent administration, no lobbyists.

NFL HQ, Call me!
The economic downturn has even hit the NFL. Today, NFL Mob Boss, Roger Goodell announced he would take a 20% pay cut. The "Messiah" has told people, with "skin in the game", they should cut back and Goodell conformed. The NFL Commish has serious duties. He's got to oversee the NFL draft, hold a few owners meetings, oversee meetings on some various rule changes, attend the HOF ceremony and game, attend various opening weekend games of the NFL season, attend whatever game he wishes during the regular season and playoffs, and then there is that pesky last game of the season known as the Super Bowl, oh hell, a week later there is that Pro Bowl crap going on. And for all of his duress, he's decided he can take a 20% reduction in pay. Original pay? 11 million a year. 11 million? Are you freaking kidding me? I'd do this job for 50,000.00 a year, plus the league needs to pay for travel and wardrobe.

The Ax man comes to One Buc Place

Well, there is a new sheriff in town over at One Buc Place. With the free agency market set to open at 12:01am Friday, the Bucs made some large moves today.

11 time Pro Bowl linebacker, Derrick Brooks was cut. Joey Galloway and his traveling diva show was cut. Cato June axed. 1 year reunion with Warrick Dunn is one and done, he was cut. And the most dependable 3rd down wideout, Ike HIlliard was cut as well.

I am a bit disturbed how Derrick Brooks was treated. He has been a fantastic player for the Bucs, twice renogiated his contract to allow the team to acquire additional players, and is one of the highest quality players in the NFL. He will be sorely missed.

Dead Cat Bounce

WhoooHoooo-
The Market was up 236 points and closed at 7350 points today. The Stock Market these days is tied to every word uttered by any member of the current Administration. Ben Bernake, Fed Chair, addressed the Senate today, and the market went up. This is nothing more than a dead cat bounce. On Friday, the market will close below 7000.
The Market has been down 26% since the election. The Market was at 13,000 in May 08, at the time Obama had wrapped up the Democratic nomination. That's a 50% decrease.

Some other random views-

Charlie Rangle was the chair of the tax reform breakout group of the Economic Dog and Pony Show yesterday. Another Democrat which can't pay taxes and he writes the tax laws. Hope and Change.

900 Million for Gaza- Now while I support Israel and their right to defend themselves, what the hell is the US doing by sending 900 Million to help to rebuild Gaza. Is this because our President has allied himself with Hamaas?

OctoMom-
How did I miss this new name tag on the welfare mom? TMZ.com had exclusive photos of the welfare fed mom, before she delivered her 8 children. Any discussion about how much TMZ spent for those exclusive photos? TMZ is showing photos of the octo-mom shopping.
Now, this morning, the Today show had coverage of video between the Octomom and her mother from a website, Radaronline.com. The bantering between the daughter and mother, looked like nothing more than a screen test for a forthcoming reality based tv show. I've said this before, Octomom will get a reality based tv show, especially since her mom's house she is living in is getting foreclosed.

For those of you who watch NBC,

Three "Republicans" out of 535 members of Congress have voted for the biggest pork bill ever presented before Congress in the history of this great Nation.

Those who voted for this bill were:
Arlene Specter 202-224-4254
Susan Collins 202-224-2523
Olympia Snowe 202-224-5344 800 number for you in Maine, 800-432-1599


This so called stimulus package includes:

125 m(illion) for the DC sewer system
75 m for the Smithsonian
900m for green vehicles
180 m for bureau of land management buildings
110m for new buildings for US Fish and Wildlife
412 m center of disease control buildings
100 m US Marshall buildings construction
307 m National standards and technology buildings
60 m to make Arlington National Cemetery green
110 m for new computers at the National Farm Services
200 m to add alternative fuel vehicles on military bases
650 m to extend digital TV transmission.
1.2 Billion for government creation of summer youth jobs
750 m for the National Computer Center
850m for Amtrack on top of all the other money Amtrak already gets
100 m for lead paint removal.

Aren't these programs special? They all enhance government offices. Didn't the liberals in Congress just chastise bank CEO's for taking trips, upgrading offices or taking trips on private jets? If you work for the government, regardless of what you do, you're fine. However, if you are in the private sector and took government money, bend over. This left wing congress wants control of everything. Monday night's press conference might as well have been scripted by Leni Reifenstahl.

Judd Gregg, Thank you!

From the Drudge Report:

OBAMA BURNED: GREGG WITHDRAWS AFTER POLICIES TOO MUCH TO STOMACH
Feb 12 2009 16:18:14 ET For Immediate Release: Thursday, February 12, 2009 Senator Gregg Statement on His Withdrawal for Consideration of U.S. Commerce Secretary Sen. Gregg stated, “I want to thank the President for nominating me to serve in his Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. This was a great honor, and I had felt that I could bring some views and ideas that would assist him in governing during this difficult time. I especially admire his willingness to reach across the aisle. “However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy. “Obviously the President requires a team that is fully supportive of all his initiatives. “I greatly admire President Obama and know our country will benefit from his leadership, but at this time I must withdraw my name from consideration for this position. “As we move forward, I expect there will be many issues and initiatives where I can and will work to assure the success of the President’s proposals. This will certainly be a goal of mine. “Kathy and I also want to specifically thank Governor Lynch and Bonnie Newman for their friendship and assistance during this period. In addition we wish to thank all the people, especially in New Hampshire, who have been so kind and generous in their supportive comments. “As a further matter of clarification, nothing about the vetting process played any role in this decision. I will continue to represent the people of New Hampshire in the United States Senate.”

Thank you so much for recognizing how Obama wants to ram his 2 year agenda down the throat of the American public. The major issue was the Census and how the Messiah Administration could re-district each area, coupled with 4.5 Billion dollars from the Stimulus bill for Acorn trying to secure Democratic control for decades.

Transperancy, no lobbists

News broke this afternoon that Google and GE are going to join together in an effort to lobby the Obama Administration for 100 Billion dollars to upgrade transmission lines. This is over and above the 800 Billion just passed by the good Socialists in Congress yesterday.

Lets see, Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE is the head of a corporation which is the leader in wind turbine production, hybrid technology, and the owner of MSNBC, CNBC and NBC.

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, who wants Google to be the head of the government program in the stimulus bill, and be the database who collects everyones medical records.


And these two, surprise, are members of Obamas Economic Recovery Panel. This was supposed to be the most transparent administration, no lobbying effort. 100 Billion for GE and Google? Wow, let's see if this happens and if it does, where will the media outrage be? State TV NBCCBSABCMSNBCCNN won't report any conflict of interest.

You can't make this shit up!

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kyle-drennen/2009/02/12/cbs-early-show-claims-abraham-lincoln-was-gay

Today is the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Lincoln has been in the news lately, since the Messiah has morphed into a combination of FDR, JFK, MLK and Lincoln. He was sworn in as President using Lincoln's bible, oops, he took another oath after the inauguration without a bible after he flubbed the address. Then again all we were given were White House photos, so did he really take the oath? And he doesn't script his press conferences either? Yeah.

This morning on the CBS Early Show, Maggie Rodriguez interviewed black New York University Professor Jeffrey Sammons who alluded that Lincoln was gay and Lincoln never believed in black equality. The nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork folks. They are realizing they have two years of unchecked, ram everything down your throat, timetable. Pelosi, Reid, Frank, these stalwarts in Congress aren't worried about re-election and will throw their fellow dems under the bus to get what they want. Pay attention America. These leaders are sick.

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Those of us in South Florida, love our visitors from the Northern states, but just as I like to research areas I will be visiting, I suggest that those of you visiting Florida do the same. Let's review a few basic traffic laws in Florida.

  • You may turn right on red after a complete stop at an intersection. In Ohio, you might not be able to do that, but you are in F-L-O-R-I-D-A.
  • I'm pretty sure that whatever state you came here from, having your left turn signal on and making a right hand turn might be some sort of moving violation.
  • And on the subject of turn signals, those of you who drive for three miles with the directional signal on, either change lanes or turn the damn thing off.
  • Basic automotive operational bulletin: the long pedal under your right foot, it's called the accelerator, it helps to move the vehicle along a bit faster the further you press down on it. This is not constrained to Florida, I believe the accelerator is universal, it works in most all of the 50 states.
  • I understand that the majority of the shopping center parking lots in our area were developed by someone using a crayon, placing 4 foot hedges surrounding every parking lane, entrance or exit, however, when you pull up in front of Publix, and park in the checkered lane, marked with several signs, NO PARKING FIRE LANE, these signs do apply to you too. SUPRISE! I don't care if you are dropping your wife off at GNC, grab a parking spot pal. I could care less if your 6,000 pound SUV is idling while you simply run up to use the ATM, you are still parked. Mother's dropping kids off at Blockbuster to return videos, this applies to you too. I find a place to park when I participate in local commerce, why can't you?

Finally, I understand, that the concept of a grocery store, where individuals congregate to buy food for consumption, must be something unseen in any other state because during the months of January to April, our grocery stores are filled with individuals which seemingly fall under a spell as soon as they enter the store. Forward foot speed of shoppers near the front door regresses to a zombie-like speed. Yes, we sell milk, eggs and cheese at these stores. You can even buy a steak. Yet shoppers are in such slow motion, they resemble archaeologists who just discovered the Holy Grail. Publix must send some sedative through the air conditioning when you walk into the store that sends visitors into some sort of vapor lock. Simply put one foot infront of the other, and recognize that other people are shopping as well, please.

It's GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRREEEEEAAAAAAAAATTT!

From the state which brought us the first 0-16 NFL team, the mayor from Detroit who went off to jail (get Marion Barry on speed dial), the CEO's of the Big Three going to Congress with hat in hand,and Ron Gettlefinger, now gives us zoo sex. That's right, zoo sex right in Battle Creek, home of Tony the Tiger.

Zoorotica program at Binder Park Zoo
February 10, 2009 - 8:22 AM
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Chocolate and flowers are nice, but this Valentine's Day why not take your honey for a walk on the wild side?

"We're going to talk about animal reproduction, the different animals here at Binder Park Zoo and their little quirks, different things that get them going to help them reproduce," said Jenny Parnett of Binder Park Zoo.

It's a Valentine's Day date that's sure to ruffle some feathers.

Binder Park Zoo says love birds are flocking to sign up for the Zoorotica program. From frolicking frogs to the love-lives of leopards, this will give you an intimate look at animal mating rituals.

The R-rated show lets you go where no zoo guests have gone before.

Tickets are sold out, but there is a waiting list. Just call the zoo office to add your name.


Michigan residents will have to pay 50.00 per couple to enjoy the "tour". My advice is if you are in Battle Creek Michigan and want to see some screwing without spending the $50.00, head up to Lansing and witness your Governor Jennifer Granholm in person, she's screwing you daily.

Back Injury? Back Injury? PLEASE!

TMZ.com is posting pictures of OctupletAngelinaJolieobsessedcrazyderanged mother, Nayda Suleman eight days before she delivered her babies. First question which comes to mind is.......how much did TMZ pay for these pics? She and her team of publicists were out trying to sell her story to the highest bidder. I still haven't seen any report regarding how much state television (aka NBC) paid for the exclusive interview. I was going to link to the pics of Nayda here, but the photos are sickening. Suffice it to say, her stomach was so large, you could have used it as a garage for a Mattel Hot Wheels and not worried about hitting your head. And this woman collected 165,000.00 for a back injury? If she had such a serious back injury, how in the hell could she walk around with a stomach which resembled half a Volkswagen Beetle?

In her exclusive interview with Ann Curry on the Today show, unmarried and mother of 6 other children, Nayda Suleman said she did not receive any welfare. Breitbart.com is reporting today that the unmarried, unstable, mother of now 14 children, had been receiving 490.00 in food stamps, collected social security disability payments, and was receiving 2379.00 a month from California since three of her former children had been diagnosed with undisclosed disabilities.

The hospital where her children are located, has already contacted Cali-Med, which is the state Medicaid. Breitbart illustrates that based on 2006 numbers, the estimated costs associated with her birth of the octuplets could surpass 1.3 million dollars, which will be paid for by the taxpayers of California. The article continues on to say that she plans to use her student loans to support her children. What? Aren't student loans supposed to be used for schooling? It doesn't stop there friends, she has set up a website so that you can send donations to her, they even accept donations by all major credit cards.

This woman is trying to make a living by having children, both from taxpayer money and private donations. I still stand by my prediction that she will have a tv cable show before the end of the year, which is sickening. She really missed out though, if she had only been in Ft Myers this week, she might be benefited from the Great Obama Handout of 09.

Mr. Peanut goes to Washington


Yesterday, the President of Peanut Corporation of America, Stewart Parnell, was drug up to Capitol Hill to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. In the spirit of anti Capitalism the liberals in Washington espouse, previously scolding Big Tobacco, Big Oil, Big Finance, now, Big Peanut was front and center.

It appears from the outside that Peanut Corp, may be facing some liability regarding the salmonella outbreak, but really, do we need Congressional hearings? How much did this political theater cost the taxpayers? More grandstanding with props, more scolding.

Jeffrey Almer, whose mother Shirley died as a result of eating the tainted peanut products was also on hand to testify. He said, "Cancer couldn't claim her, but peanut butter did.........She was let down by the government whose responsibility is to protect it's citizens." Huh? I've read the Constitution and protection from peanuts isn't in there. There are inherent risks associated with life Mr Almer. Governments' job is not to hold your hand from the moment you pop out of the womb until you assume room temperature, although there are more and more of you out there who think this way. If Peanut Corp. did something illegal or criminal, then proceed with legal action in a court room, not this dog and pony show in DC on the taxpayers dime.

If the Democratic led Congress were serious about doing something about Big Peanut, they should immediately assemble a Blue Ribbon Commission and hold more hearings. Their findings would most likely result in the creation of a Peanut Czar. Jimmy Carter will be summoned to head up the Office of Peanut Safety. After Card Check passes Congress and is signed into law, make sure the peanut plants become unionized. Create a 200% excise tax on peanuts and peanut related products. Pass a 20 billion dollar bailout for the peanut industry to offset lost income from the salmonella outbreak period. (of course, 20 million would go to Big Peanut, the rest can go to pet projects such as studying the mating habits of the neon yellow purple lipped tiger striped goby) Hire 1,000 Federal Peanut Police to continually monitor peanut safety. And finally, once that it's been documented that the free market can't regulate the peanuts properly, the Feds will simply move in and Nationalize the peanut plants.

Once these actions are taken and a jar of peanut butter will finally cost 12.00, peanut products will finally be safe Mr Almer. Or will they...........................because we know how great the government is at managing things.

Pete, I miss you buddy

Pete, (listening to the Beatles) I'm here tonight after the visit from our Socialist President here in our hometown this evening, reviewing the comments from the new Treasury Secretary today and the passage of the "stimulus" bill today by the Senate.

So much has happened since you left. I miss having beers with you. I miss your wisdom. I still can't remember that shrimp recipe we made before Kathy and Laura Lee got home from bowling. I'm still here, right next door, remembering you every day. You must know I've talked to you many times, whether it be on the boat or in a chair in the back yard, you are not forgotten.

There is no doubt you are looking down from above and I've got to ask for some guidance. Things are not looking good for us. Give me a sign. Let us know that things will be okay. Life has changed so much since you left. I miss you Pete. Your picture resides in our dining room and I see you every day with that 30 pound gag you caught in February 1998, the day we fished in the fog all day nearly getting run over by the shrimp boat Casey Jones.

In these troubled times, each time I look out my back door and see your old house, I think of you. You would be blowing a gasket with whats happening here today. Just give me a sign that things will be okay. An unopened pack of Viceroys at the front door will freak me out, something a bit more subtle perhaps. I miss you man. I think about you each and every day.

A-Roid comes clean.

Sports Illustrated broke a story this weekend that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids/banned substances in the 2003 where usage wasn't considered illegal. A-Roid confirmed the report and said he had made a mistake. This all makes sense now. I've never been an A-Rod fan, but it now is putting in perspective his reported involvement with Madonna. You've gotta be juiced on something to want to be with that whacked out bitch.

Messiah visits Ft Misery, did you get your bucket of cash today?

The Messiah flew into town here today. The jet wash from Air Force One which permeated those of us in the great unwashed, provided economic stimulus. I was frozen right after The Messiah touched down. I was as useless as a visitor from Michigan or Indiana who doesn't understand you can turn right on red after a stop in a major intersection. I went to Home Depot to purchase some 5 gallon buckets just to catch all the money our leader was going to be throwing around.

Laugh if you must, but review the questions which came out of the Town Hall meeting here today. Nearly everyone was asking for something. Henrietta Hughes asked for a house and a car. Someone asked for Obama to insure unemployment insurance pay the entire amount of lost salary. Then, a young 20 something kid who has worked at McDonalds' for 4 years asked, while jumping up and down, what Obama was going to do to make sure people like him will get better benefits. Welcome to Ft Misery BHO. You got a limo trip into the downtown heart of Ft Myers right down through Dunbar on MLK drive. Folks started lining MLK at 6am this morning, and when they were interviewed by the hometown media, there were lots more folks who wanted something for nothing.

5 Presidents have visited Ft. Myers. In an ironic twist, the first was Herbert Hoover. Hoover is credited with the Great Depression, but it was Roosevelt who carried it on. Hoover was elected President with no actual experience, he was a Cabinet official. His decision to defeat the economic downturn in 1929, was an increase in volunteer efforts and increased government actions. Sound familiar? Whats more ironic about the visit today by The Messiah is, that Hoover came to Ft Myers to visit Thomas Edison on his birthday. Edison's birthday is February 11th. Edison used to frequent the downtown area near the City Tavern and Arcade Theater, a mere 2 blocks from where Obama spoke today at the Harborside Convention Center.

Right out of the gate today, Obama started naming folks who lost their jobs, and brought up Steve Adkins, owner of Target Construction, a local company which remodels schools. He's had to lay off workers and has had to sell his house and downsize for his family of four. He's a model of everything that's wrong here in Lee County. Steve and his wife Michelle, have really undergone some hard times. Most likely he was hooked up to government projects and the money sucking off the government tit was drying up. Let's look and see just how horrible Steve and Michelle's life is.......................

According to the Lee County Property Appraiser website, Steve and/or wife Michelle own:

1 lot on 2nd St- valued at 29,000.00
1 lot on 2nd St.-valued at 188,360.00
Home on Riverside Dr -valued at 550,000.00
Home on Riverside Dr- valued at 181,000.00
Home on Rhode Island Dr- valued at 221,000.00
Home on Michigan Ave- valued at 193,000.00
Property on W. First St.- valued at 292,000.00
Lot on E. Riverside- valued at 314,610.00
Lot on Palm Ave- valued at 165,860.00

Two properties in a trust
one lot on Monroe st valued at 79,950.00
one condo at Sanibel Harbor valued at 112,000.00

Primary homestead
Canterbury Drive, valued at 310,000.00


Wow! 2.6 million in property holdings. This is an exact snapshot of all the problems in America today. And just how much did the Adkins family donate to the Obama campaign............

Gloom and Doom

Well, the Messiah addressed the Nation tonight and I hope that anyone who watched the prime time press conference, that they would have understood the one hour of prime time was a scripted display , and how can you think it wasn't formatted. Questions were scripted to journalists from CBS, Chuck Todd from NBC (which should be a conflict of interest) ABC, CNN, NY York Times, Huffington Post, NPR, and a question given to Helen Thomas.

There were no answers offered tonight, and there won't be any more offered tomorrow while the Messiah hovers across the SW Florida area causing transportation issues during his visit, and I thought the Messiah wants to improve our economy. Socialism works, according to the Messiah.

over 1,000,000,000,000.00 dollars

That's a trillion dollars folks, and that was what your Congress is getting ready to add in spending with the new pork bill agreed to tonight in Congress, as reported by major media outlets.

How much exactly is 1 trillion?

You could stack 1,000.00 bills one on top of another and that stack will stretch nearly 70 miles.

You could have spent 1 million dollars a day since the birth of Christ and you'd still have 70 more years to go before running out of money.

Western Civilization hasn't been around for 1 trillion seconds. 1 million seconds equals 12 days. 1 billion seconds equals 31 years and 1 trillion seconds equals 31,688 YEARS.

Godspeed to those of you who have children. I'm glad I don't have any. It's immoral to leave children with this coming tax burden.

Miami Mullet Fans, I warned you.............

From pft.com posted this evening,

TUNA FINAGLES THE ABILITY TO WALK AT ANY TIME
Posted by Mike Florio on February 6, 2009, 6:04 p.m. EST
When Dolphins V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells leaked on December 28 (presumably via former ESPN colleague Chris Mortensen) that Parcells had a 30-day window within which to walk away with full pay once owner Wayne Huizenga transfers control of the team to Stephen Ross, it was obvious to us that Parcells was trying to take advantage of the contractual term he so shrewdly had included into his deal.
And here’s what we surmised on January 6: “[W]e can’t imagine Parcells staying without a clause that allows him to walk away at any time, with a huge cash payment and the ability to work wherever he wants. With a contract that gives him the power to leave now and take the rest of his money, he holds all the cards. And he’ll stay under his terms, or he simply won’t stay.”
As it turns out, Parcells parlayed his 30-day cash-and-carry clause into a provision that allows him, at any time over the life of the deal, to pick up and leave, with the full remaining amount of the contract in hand.
According to (surprise, surprise) ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Parcells has the option to depart without any restrictions.
And with pay.
If he leaves, he’ll receive the balance of his original four-year, $12 million deal. (It has been erroneously reported in some circles, and we fear that we’ve repeated the mistake in some of our postings, that Parcells signed in early 2008 a four-year, $16 million contract.)
Per Mort, the new provision was negotiated before Huizenga sold the team to Ross, who was aware of the change and didn’t object to it.
How could he? If neither Huizenga nor Ross wanted to give Parcells the ability to leave whenever he wanted to leave with full pay, Parcells simply would have (and could have) left with full pay as soon as Huizenga handed the keys to Ross.
Bottom line? It’s another case of Parcells showing that he’s a master of the football business, both when it comes to the football — and when it comes to the business.


I warned you Mullet fans last year when the Tuna was hired. His agent, Jimmy Sexton also represents Nick Saban, another former Mullet employee who stuck it to Huizenga (I'm all for sticking it to that slimeball) and then to LSU when he slipped out of town to coach Alabama. Saban's coaching career is like a Springer episode. Now the Tuna, after schooling the Mullets, he is preparing to "snook"-er the team as he "skates" out of town with a boatload of money. Don't look for the Tuna to flounder long though, he'll depart Miami in 2009 and land in an NFL city near you in 2010, while extorting the owners for even more money. Honestly, more folks should read this blog, I called this move last offseason, check the achieves. Free economic stimulus advice, coaching moves, comeback player performance stats, what more could you ask for.

219 days until the start of the 2009 NFL season and the Detroit Lions watch starts again. We are 11 more consecutive loses away from the worst losing stretch of any NFL franchise. Come on Detroit, you can do it!

Cher speaks, who cares

Cher: Republican Rule Almost ‘Killed Me’Friday, February 06, 2009By Nicholas Ballasy, Video Reporter
(CNSNews.com) - Grammy award-winning singer and Academy award-winning actress Cher told CNSNews.com that living under Republican rule almost “killed" her, and she does not understand why anyone would want to be a Republican. She also said that President Barack Obama’s “intelligence” and “spirit” are “so great” he will be able to do “more than anyone could possibly do.”

Oh Cher, universal healthcare won't cover facelifts. All those tweaks and turns on her scalp has definitely affected her brain. She makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

And I scribe this evening, breaking news is that the Senate has reached a tentative deal on the nearly 1 trillion dollar pork spending bill. Goody goody. The march towards Socialism continues. I am disgusted that the people's money is going to be spent on all the social spending programs liberal lawmakers couldn't get through on their own merits. Get ready America, you won't recognize our nation within 2 years. My family did not serve this Nation for this shit.

She speaks!

The Today show this morning aired a snippet of the interview with the formerly unnamed 33 year old single mother of the octuplets born last week. It has yet to be released whether or not NBC paid for the interview. Seeing that GE stock is at 11.00 a share, maybe not a wise use of funds if they did pay money to talk to this ditz.

It didn't take long for the victim card to be played. She struggled with depression. Of course you did. She claims she wanted a large family to make up for the isolation that she felt as an only child. Isolation? You're the ONLY freaking child. You are the focus of attention. She claims she had a dysfunctional childhood. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhht.

She has collected 165,000.00 in worker's compensation funds from a back injury suffered at work. Slip and Fall? Call. Morgan and Morgan. She's collected money and not worked since 2000 due to a back injury yet somehow she can tote around 8 kids in the womb for 9 months?

She claims she was married and her husband finalized their divorce last year, after being separated for 5 years. Was he hanging around to see if there was going to be a windfall profit in the future? Just a thought. Well, seeing how this woman has not 1 but 2 publicists, and has reportedly been shopping around her story for money.

She also said that she has used the same fertility expert for all 14 of her children. Did this expert work at Miracle Gro before entering into the fertilization field? The sperm used for the in-vetro process was donated by a "friend". Hmm. I wonder when he'll be trotting out to tell his story for a few bucks? Coming soon to a National Inquierer cover in a grocery store by you soon.

I have a question for Ms. Suleman. Are those lips live or Memorex? Just a little too Angelina Jolie Botoxed up for me to believe they are real.

I really feel sorry for these poor children who have been brought into this world by this selfish woman. I'll bet money that this woman will have a tv show within a year.

News stories of the day

Bill Gates Buggy?

Yesterday at a technology conference in California, Billionaire Bill Gates opened a jar filled with mosquitoes and released them through his audience. Top industry executives were appalled, some were even quoted as saying that they were no longer going to sit in the front row during Bill Gates speaking engagements. Gates was trying to emphasize the worlds malaria problem, by stating that poor people shouldn't be the only ones who get malaria. I thought he was trying to demonstrate how buggy the Vista operating system is.

West Virginia waterfront property?

Yahoo news is reporting yet another Global warming story this morning. The story states that if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melts completely due to warming temperatures, Washington DC will be completely underwater. Wooo Hooo! Let's hope.

Silence!

It's taken about two weeks longer than I thought, but it looks like Senate hearings on talk radio will begin soon. MI senator Stabenow (who is married to a liberal talk show producer) threw out the idea yesterday in an interview as reported in the Politico. This will be the revival of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine". There is nothing "Fair" about it. If you don't agree whole heartedly with everything the administration wants to run down the taxpayers throats, then you must be silenced. The truth is, that the market has created the people on talk radio who are successful. Liberals have had opportunity to create talk radio shows but they aren't successful. How'd that Air America work out for ya?

FLASH! Emergency post! Idol is rigged.

Well, it was brought to my attention this afternoon, that while I've been keeping a firm grip on the pulse of the Nation to the events occurring which shake me to the core, I'm following our Speaker of the House telling us that 500 million people a month are losing their jobs and our President saying if we don't pass the Porkulus, errr Stimulus package quickly, this Nation will never recover, a travesty has happened. A decision was made which shakes the Universe.

Deep in research this afternoon, I received a phone call telling me that Katrina "bikini girl" Darrel had been voted off American Idol last night. How could this be? She was just voted to move on the night before. Low and behold, after a few mouse clicks, the worst was confirmed. This is not good. And I say this from a standpoint of only wanting Fox to have good ratings, which means they can generate advertising revenue, and that helps the economy. I'm all about the trickledown economics.

Hurricane Katrina Darrel, you might have caught her audition. She had the voice of a thousand angels singing on high, other than that, she wasn't very notable. However, for some reason, she really rubbed the 2 female judges the wrong way. Who really cares what Paula thinks, by the final weeks of the show, she'll show up so out of it, she'll vote for anything or anyone. Hell, she has even slept with contestants in previous years. The new judge, Kara DioGuardi, (aka Devil Spawn) is simply screwing everything up. Kara wanted to become a singing star but has become a producer instead. Hey Kara, those who cannot do, teach. You have just ruined my entire season of Idol. I was so looking forward to the catfights down the stretch run in the final weeks. The snarky comments between the two of you, and perhaps even bikini girl jumping over the judges table with some hair pulling around late March. Great TV. That would be great for ratings. Remember, I'm all about stimulating the economy without government intervention.

This Kara "Italian Stallion" DioGuardi is really screwing up the show so far and I don't think at this point I can follow it to conclusion. My football season ended last Sunday around 10pm and my Idol season ended last night. 220 days until football starts anew.

And Seacrest, when Katrina went to give you a kiss on camera and you pulled away, are you pitching or catching in your relationship? Former Idol contestant Clay Aiken came out of the closet, just a suggestion...............

Charlie Sheen has a brother in Cape Coral?

In a February 5th story in the Fort Myers News-Press,

"A Cape Coral man was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly was found engaging in distasteful acts with “at least one blow-up doll” in a car in the parking lot of a Publix.
According to Connie Baron, public information officer for the Cape Coral Police Department, George Bartusek Jr., 51, was arrested and charged with breach of peace.Officers were called to the Publix on Santa Barbara Boulevard after someone complained about the man’s behavior with a doll in the car.Baron said Bartusek was acting “distasteful” with the doll. It’s uncertain at this time if other charges will be added."


When I read this story, I was reminded of the New York Daily News story which quoted Sheen's former wife, Denise Richards as saying Charlie purchased a 6,000.00 anatomically correct sex doll. There is a story on circushour.com regarding a September 2007 episode in which Sheen convinced two women to come home and have sex with his "girlfriend". When the girls got to Sheen's apartment, they realized the "girlfriend" was a blow up doll. The girls broke into laughter and left the apartment. Sheen was outraged and went into a rage, reportedly taking a meat cleaver to the dolls arm. Then, in a creepy GoodFellas' movie theme, he then wrapped the doll up in a carpet, threw her in the trunk and drove around town in the middle of the night looking for a dumpster to dispose of the "body". That's just a bit disturbing. And all this time I thought the half in Two and a Half men was the kid.

8 is not enough, how about 14.

Last week, the National media broke the story of a woman In California who gave birth to octuplets. The doctors at the press conference spoke of how they were anticipating a delivery of septuplets and were surprised when there was another child delivered. Oh, it was a great feel good story, until the rest of the story unfolded over the past few days.

The unnamed mother, which has hired a PR firm since delivery, has not granted any interviews and her name hasn't been released. Over the course of the last few days, stories about how this woman has 6 other children, her parents bought her a house after the 6 children were born, the parents have filed bankruptcy and are living with the 6 year unemployed former psychiatric technician. The father has said publicly that he is returning to Iraq to go to work and her mother said she is moving out of the house once her daughter returns home with the octuplets.

I was immediately interested in this story the morning the story of delivery of the octuplets broke and the mother's name wasn't released. My septic nerve was inflamed in a mere few moments after listening to the story. In this day and age, with an event such as this monumental delivery will almost always be exploited for monetary gain. I must just be a jaded person who hasn't embraced the creation of life, there can't possibly be any ulterior motive, no money making issue, just a simple woman wanting to give birth.

Well well well, my septic nerve was correct last week. It didn't take long for the "unnamed mother" to hire a PR firm, and go on the hunt for the big bucks. This morning, the unnamed mother, trotted out a publicist on the Today show, stating that the mother was exploring all offers to find the best avenue to get her message out to explain her story. In other words, who is going to pay us the most money!!!!! Come one, come all, bring baskets of money. It is reported that this unnamed woman wants 2 million dollars to tell her story. She wants a book deal and wants to be hired my a major network morning show as a child consultant. In the current American Idol, Next Top Model, Dancing with the Stars climate, she'll most likely get it.

She'll most likely also get a reality tv show deal. I have come up with a few reality tv show ideas,

I dated a Turkey Baster-
Market this to the We/Oxygen lesbian network. She can detail how to get lots of children and never have a man involved.

42 mouths a day on the taxpayers dime-
This show will appeal to all those struggling mothers out there with 14 children on how to apply for federal, state and local aid to help pay for all the children on the backs of the greedy Republicans who don't pay anything in taxes. This will air on the Oxygen Network as well.

The Most Fecund Female in America-
This show could air on a few different networks. I could see the unnamed mother as the host of a 10 week show. Potential fecundity filled women would have to compete in a 10 week competition which involves a combination of American Idol and Miss America, however they would have to be unemployed and no boyfriend/husband.

And finally, I think the unnamed female should direct her publicist to get her a few endorsements. This unemployed, unnamed 33 year old woman who is reported to love children, should get an endorsement deal. Really, why shouldn't she get 100,000.00 for an Octuplet Sperm Bank Seal of Approval? After all, why should we judge her and her motives? We are in a new era America. Change you can believe in. While we are changing, hold on to your damn wallet while everyone else benefits for irresponsible behavior.

Official NFL countdown

221 days until the regular kickoff game on Thursday September 3rd 2009

224 days until the rest of the NFL starts their campaign. The Detroit Lions need to lose 11 more games to overtake the Bucs as the first team to lose 27 games in a row.

368 days until Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.

God I hope there will be a great Rays baseball season this year.

500,000,000 Amercians out of work each month


My favorite Speaker of House, (pictured above) Ms Nancy Pelosi today made a statement to a room full of the National press corps that the Obama stimulus package must be passed as soon as possible because 500 million Americans are losing their job each month. Wow, I finally understand that this economic situation IS worse than the Great Depression. 11,000 people a second are losing their job. If this stimulus package is stalled in the Senate by those evil Republicans for two months, 1 Trillion Americans will lose their jobs. Let me get this straight, more than 3 times the number of the actual American population (300 million) will lose their job by the end of next month. Ms. Pelosi, go get a Botox upgrade and help stimulate the economy, the free market works, unless of course free Botox is in your stimulus package.

Calling PETA- another bird strike........

Ever since the Miracle on the Hudson US Airways flight a few weeks ago, the National media now is reporting each and every bird strike on a commercial airliner. Again this morning, the Today show had photos of a flight which departed Denver yesterday and had a bird strike, reportedly an "eagle", without documentation.

How much longer will it be before PETA starts protesting commercial air traffic and calling for an end of the airlines? Of course, PETA will have to fly in the airport protesters first.

Madison Ave, you wasted millions today

The Super Bowl is over and the commercials have been aired. As someone who has never been a member of a focus group and annually reviews the latest offerings of the overpaid minds of Madison Ave, here is my review of what we watched this last Sunday of football.

Well worth 3 Million dollars for the viewership-

Budweiser- An annual top tier producer of top notch commercials. This year 2 of the top five commercials involved the Clydesdale's. One with the dancing horse and the other with the immigrant horse.

Doritos- Used slapstick comedy to sell the product and their two spots were funny.

E-Trade- They used the baby in advertising once again and they skirted the major money of game-time but still put up great ads. Kudos.

Average commercials-

Grease Monkeys from Castol oil

Pedigree-Get a dog

Coke Zero- remake of the Mean Joe Green Coke ad from the 70's. This ad connected with me and my friends however meant nothing to the 20 somethings watching.

Coca-Cola- ad where people morphed into cartoon characters from video games, and as the Coke Zero ad meant nothing to the 20 somethings, this ad meant nothing to me. Maybe it balances out? Maybe a waste of 6 million dollars.

Bridgestone- This company spent heavy this Super Bowl period. Obviously they are betting on folks putting tires on their old cars instead of buying new cars. The Mr/Mrs Potatohead ad was ok, they sponsored the halftime show, but the second half ad where astronauts were walking around a virtual Mars and then turned around to find their rover on blocks and the tires were stolen. Very funny, however, it wasn't Mars they where they were walking, it was Florida Ave. in Washington DC or downtown Detroit.

This year's Super Bowl saw a few shining lights in selected commercial spots, but once the Champion was crowned, the game was over, all the wings and 9 layer dip consumed, we have come to the giant waste of money list of commercials, and there are many this year.

Losers-

The worst commercial this Super Bowl was without a doubt, brought to you by Pepsi. Pepsi had several ads hawking their new "manly" diet drink and they crossed over the line to the stupid by wasting 3 million dollars to stage a faux McGyver episode, named Pepsuber in the commercial. Obviously Pepsi didn't run this ad past focus groups before signing the 3 million dollar check. Perhaps one of the worst Super Bowl ads I've ever seen.

Overstock.com- Carlos Boozer- Loser ad
Careerbuilder.com- Loser
Land of the Lost movie promo/faux Today show ad- Sucked
Cars.com- Sucked out loud
Hyundai- major loser

Hulu.com-
I don't know what this company is or does, but after trotting out the fat Alec Baldwin who quickly advertises himself as a TV star, does nothing to make me want to search for hulu on the net. The Baldwins disgust me. Every last one of the non talented members of the clan. Hey Alec, weren't you going to move to France in 2004? Are you still here? Your weight gain in the past few months is making Jessica Simpson look like Paris Hilton. Please speed up you exit of this country and take the rest of your non-talented family with you. Bye-bye now.

GE-
Oh, the parent company of NBC, MSNBC, CNBC decided to jump into the advertising realm. I don't believe they paid 3 million for 30 seconds. The advertisement in the 4th quarter, showing a likeness of the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz singing, If I only had a Brain, while touting their website for ecomagination, was just sick. If I only had a Brain was a great music selection for the advertisement because no one at GE, or for that matter at any NBC associated networks has a brain. Go Green, GE wins. Current unlucky shareholders of GE have lost however because no one running the company has a brain.

Cash 4 Gold-
Half way through this ad I thought it was a spoof, once I realized it wasn't, I felt very sorry for those folks involved.

Well, I'll wrap up the commercials here. I've not gone to any websites yet to see who texted in which commercials folks enjoyed the most or been involved in any survey. You read my posts here, and it's raw, as I feel it, I post it. Regular readers know about my affinity for animals in advertising. I've not gotten to figure out how many ads involved animals just yet, but I was in a room with over 100 people today and when the Castrol ad "Grease Monkeys" came on and the guy kissed the monkey at the end of the ad, there was a collective, aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, from all the women in the room. So lesson learned here for free, once again, you have a product to sell with advertising budget for TV, involve an animal and if you can kiss it and escape local felony charges, put it on TV.

Did you make money on my suggestions?

I said take Arizona and the points- you won
I said take the over on total points-you won
Take the over on the first punt over 41.5 yds-you won
Take the over on Warner passing for more yards than Big Ben-you won
Take the over on total kickoffs at 9.5-you won

And I have to take a moment here with the final successful suggestion, take the over on Larry Fitzgerald of 83.5 yards. I specifically wrote that Larry would get 127 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Larry ended the game with.........127 yards and 2 scores. And there are you folks out there paying 900 numbers to get the "betting line" from so called experts. You might likely be the same folks buying the ShamWows and the razor blade sharpener at 4am, but I give this information for free because as a public service I'm trying to stimulate the economy. Anyone with a computer Internet connection could have made serious jing this final Sunday of the NFL.

If you missed out on today's game, return in 8 months once the start of the next season starts up and the quest for the Champion of Super Bowl 44 starts once again. Have I mentioned how much I despise basketball and NASCAR? Maybe once or twice.

Congrats to the Steeler fans.

Super Game-Sad Day

After 4 weeks of preseason, 17 weeks of regular season and a month of playoff games, we've finally arrived at the climax of the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals are the final teams standing. The two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl are usually filled with all sorts of news surrounding the game, but this year, it has been a very quiet period. No player arrests, no hookers, not much of anything.

The line on today's game hasn't moved at all after opening at Pittsburgh -6.5 and the over/under is 47.0 pts. I've taken Arizona and the points. I'd take the over if I bet the points.
For the Super Bowl, Vegas takes bets on every aspect of the game. Who wins the coin toss, who scores first, how many field goals will be made, even how long it will take to sing the National Anthem. Many of the wagers are on player performance. Odds makers are saying Kurt Warner will throw for more yards than Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger. The over/under on that wager is 23.5 yards. I'd have to say take the over. Warner needs 364 yards to over take Joe Montana's career Super Bowl passing yardage record of 1142 yards. I can't see Kurt putting up 365 yards against the Steelers defense. A few other over/under wagers:

Total yards by Willie Parker. 75.5 take the over

Total receiving yards by Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald 83.5 yards. Take the over. Fitz gets 127 yards and a score

Total distance of the first punt. 41.5 gross yards. Even though the Cardinal's punter has injury issues, I'd take the over. There is little wind in Tampa and it's a friendly kickers stadium.

Total kickoff returns by both teams. 9.5 kicks. Over, I suspect 11 total kickoffs.

My prediction for the game is Arizona 27 Pittsburgh 21

Outside of the game, many will be the commercials. Last year's showing was weak and I'm hoping for some improvement this year. Although, some of the efforts coming out of Madison Ave in the playoffs have been wretched. If the Geico eyeballs and the myopically challenged dingbats from H and R block are any indication, there will most likely be alot of wasted money this year as well.

This is also the saddest day of the year because when the final gun sounds sometime after 10pm at Ray Jay, football fans will have to wait another 8 months until the toe hits leather once again.
Bucs fans will be facing uncertainty this upcoming season with many new faces leading the squad. We can hope for a successful free agency period and solid draft because next years schedule looks tough on paper at this time. Go Bucs!
