Gas goes up 10 bucks a week……Yay. Vote democrat.

Yea right.

Don’t worry His Highness will be reelected since no one in their right mind will vote for any of these gangsters in  office, any office, again.

Soon the rest of the bad loans come due. Trillions! No one has a solution that saves the rich thieving bastards except printing and borrowing. This has never worked in the past.

Maybe OB is special. Economics no longer apply. In a few years we’ll have nice roads and bridges built by union labor.

Of course no one will be able to afford 30 bucks a gallon to use them.

Buy food now. Pay down your debts so you can qualify for the bargains after we get rid of these nut jobs in charge. Polish up your shotgun as the cities go nuts.

Even the illegals are going home. Heh heh.

Gas prices: Up 14% for the month – Jan. 31, 2009

Waste of time. If you’ve seen one politician you’ve seen them all. Repub or Dem makes no difference.

They’ve all been bought!!!

And Rightly So!

I Won. Therefore, I AM. A Child.

Posted by Raven on January 24th, 2009

So much for striving for a united, bi partisan government. Politics as usual, maybe…

Except, I don’t think we’ve ever seen such examples of childish behavior, words and phrases.

During his private meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans on Friday, President Obama ended a philosophical debate over tax policy with the simple declaration that his opinion prevailed because “I won.”

Democrats called it a light-hearted moment that drew laughs around the table. Republicans said there was laughter but couldn’t recall if any of it came from their ranks.

Of course the Democrats laughed. Why shouldn’t they? After all, they rule the houses now. They don’t need Republicans anymore. At least not right now.

Obama invoked conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh in a discussion about the danger of allowing partisan differences block progress on the stimulus bill, which currently costs $825 billion.

Leaders don’t make threats and issue innuendo. Leaders bring people together, through common goals; leaders respect differences of opinion…they seek it, they listen, and seriously consider. Oh wait, I forgot. Obama is not a leader…skill wise. He’s a child. Who resorts to childish antics. He is making a game out of the economy and the playground is his office. How mature a man he really is.

Anyone remember Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot warning people this would happen? We were sold out by rich, greedy con artists that globalism (shipping our manufacturing overseas ) would be Nirvana.

Democrats and Republicans sold us this horse shit by the barrel. No need to drill our own oil. Don’t worry about all that sucking sound you here of trillions of future wealth heading for Mexico and China.

We even got the commies to fall in to our “one big happy economy.”

Yea right. Now any country that catches  a cold causes  every other country to die from Pneumonia.

The best definition of Depression would be when every country is in recession.

Guess what?

But, what can a guy do? Most of us depend on “service jobs”. Selling Chinese trinkets and toys to each other. Or lending people money they can’t afford to pay back.

The rest of us get a government check. Now there’s a losing proposition. We’d have to take over all the oil producing countries to pay those off.

However who’s going to need to do that when world trade is collapsing around our ears and no one will have to drive.

I think right now the genius’ in charge saw Obama coming. Poor bastard.

If he can wave the magic wand and save the world even I will pray to him.

Anyways we have rioting going on all over Europe and soon all those Islamic immigrants are going to tear up the cities.

Trouble is for them who needs to hire these people ?

I’m now stocking up on canned food and beans. I  need to get a new rifle and prepare for deer hunting in the future. Already a guy at work is going to show me the secrets of ice fishing. Cat food getting expensive so the kitties will be on a fish diet.

Me too.

Don’t expect a lot of beef being bought for awhile. Corn prices went nuts last summer and someone has to pay for it. Probably the beef lots will have to be bailed out by the government because we know what will happen if we can’t feed the inner city mobs who can’t even spell Obama’s name.

The gangsters in charge never learn that promising people something for nothing means everyone gets nothing.

Check out how the world is going below.

Downturn Accelerates As It Circles The Globe – washingtonpost.com

The world economy is deteriorating more quickly than leading economists predicted only weeks ago, with Britain yesterday becoming the latest nation to surprise analysts with the depth of its economic pain.

Britain posted its worst quarterly contraction since 1980 on the heels of sharper than expected slowdowns reported from Germany to China to South Korea. The grim data, analysts said, underscores how the burst of the biggest credit bubble in history is seeping into the real economies around the world, silencing construction cranes, bankrupting businesses and throwing millions of people out of work.

Unexplained Mysteries :: Humans are reason for varied animal coats

Humans are reason for varied animal coats
Posted on Thursday, 22 January, 2009 | 5:27 | Comments: 0

Humans have actively changed the coats of domestic animals by cherry-picking rare genetic mutations, causing variations such as different colours, bands and spots, according to a new study.

The study on wild and domestic pigs by Uppsala and Durham Universities, published today in the open access journal PLoS Genetics, reveals that the genetic changes happened over thousands of years.

The study also explains for the first time why there is a stark contrast between the coat colours of wild and domestic animals and gives further insight into the process of evolution, particularly since animals were first domesticated about 10,000 years ago.

Need more tax cheats in charge of the IRS. I’m surprised anybody noticed. After all the Clinton gang is now back in power. You know all the scandals they got into.

My guess is soon the only ones who will pay taxes are government employees because the rest of us will be unemployed.

Or in jail for tax evasion.

So to pay for all these schemes they have to take back all those pensions the government gave away for working for the crooks in Washington.

Of course the vets might object. They killed people for those checks after all.

The geezers are broke so they gave their houses away to the banks for reverse mortgages to pay for golf and bingo.

So much for the estate taxes.

The foreigners are tapped out. Free trade sucked them in to Madoff schemes and they are all losing their asses. Seen them on TV throwing yogurt at their leaders. Poor bastards have to waste good food on the sons a bitches.

Pretty soon we’ll have to steal the money to bail them out too.

That means the gang in Washington will have to take over a small oil producing country!

It will have to be small because they wouldn’t want to get their asses kicked.

We still remember Jimmy Carter getting whipped by a rabbit.

Then again I’m still trying to figure out what government job would I qualify for?

After all, I like to work!

Standing around scratching your ass and bitching about benefits is a drag.

Especially when someone screws up and works through their break.

Then again, Walmart will probably be the only place left to shop so I’m probably safe until they bring in another 10 million Mexicans to take our place.

W.C. Varones Blog: B of A – Merrill paid early bonuses while extorting taxpayers

Good riddance to Hank Paulson. If only his replacement weren’t Tim Geithner. And not because Geithner is a tax cheat. He was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the banks under his watch were taking on outrageous leverage to load up on toxic assets. And he was Vice Chairman of Greenspan’s Open Market Committee that created the housing bubble. It’s like nominating the captain of the Exxon Valdez to run the Environmental Protection Agency.

In poker we have an expression that always hits the nail on the head….never throw good money after bad. These banks are broke and need to be dismantled. Good loans need to be kept and bad need to be liquidated.

But mostly we need to take back our credit system from the gangsters who got us into this mess. If Obama can do that he will become a hero and get all of our votes.

Since most everyone in government seems to be involved one way or another, I aint betting on it. Instead he’ll give them more and more money destroying any chance of permanently fixing the problem.

Too many people in Washington have been on the take. They feel Ob is just another body to fill the office. Time will tell if putting off the reform needed will last more than his first term.

In less than 10 years we have 80 or 90 million senior citizens drawing checks and cashing out their 401k’s, (most of these people are technically bankrupt) the stock market disappears and the economy falls on its face starved for investment funds for business growth.

Not closing out loser financial entities compounds the problem. And not having any control of our money that went over seas will simply come back to bite us in the ass.

Basically it means getting a handle on our overseas cash flow …trade deficits from buying more goods than we produce and especially sending 400 billion a year offshore to our enemies in the oil producing countries.
 
Until we get control of our oil supply, by conquering, conserving, replacing or drilling, we are owned by these guys lock, stock, and barrel.

No country in history has ever survived under these conditions with out war.

Trust me.

Conversation with the Author

I have known most of the world’s central bankers in recent decades, including Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan, and Ben Bernanke. All would admit the power of the central bank is rapidly diminishing. Worse, in the case of the United States, interest rates have increasingly become a captive of global financial forces. To a certain extent, therefore, Americans are no longer in complete control of their own monetary policy. That is why central banks, led by the Fed, have become a kind of grand global theater. Because the world’s ocean of capital is so huge and powerful, the central bankers have had no choice but to become the lead actors. They use their dramatic skills to try to tease, persuade, charm, and bluff the markets. And of course the Lawrence Olivier of this process was Alan Greenspan. It’s not quite like The Wizard of Oz with the little man behind the curtain pulling the levers, but the analysis is not completely off the mark. In the end, the incredible shrinking of central bank influence over financial markets is a primary reason the world is curved.

So what’s the future of the world financial system?

The financial world is still a dangerous place. That’s because the world is flirting with moving away from the last quarter-century’s model of globalization and free-flowing capital markets toward something more reminiscent of the nineteenth-century mercantilist economic model. What I’m describing is an era of backroom rivalries, deal making, and tensions based on ambitious national political agendas with capital flows, and commodities led by oil, increasingly controlled by governments. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to see the picture emerging: financial wealth and power are moving away from the United States, Europe, and Japan.

What does this shift mean for the United States in particular, for the jobs and savings of average Americans?

Lost their asses. Ha ha. Why am I so happy these bloodsuckers got theirs. Remember these guys declared war on us when Jimmy was president. They all should have been bombed and we could have replaced most of their oil with nuke power and belt tightening.

Now we have to periodically conquer a small oil company. We already did it to Iraq. Twice.

Iran was ours until “79 when these people declared war on the hapless Jimmy Carter and he cried in the White House on TV.

Then he gave away the Panama Canal and the voters decided this guy was such a wimp even a Hollywood “B” actor would do a good job.

Then the enemy headed for the tall grass and sent there kids with bombs strapped to their asses into the world to make the world safe for Allah .

Make no mistake, these are the enemy. And our children and grandchildren will kill or be killed by them.

With our money!!!

Bloomberg.com: Worldwide

Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) — The global financial meltdown has cost Arab nations $2.5 trillion in four months and led to 60 percent of development projects in the Persian Gulf region being put off or scrapped, Kuwait’s foreign minister said.

“This just shows the huge damage caused by the crisis,” Sheikh Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, also Kuwait’s acting oil minister, said yesterday at a news conference during the Arab Economic Summit in Kuwait City.

Oil has tumbled 75 percent from a July high, as the global economy sank into recession, straining budgets of crude exporters. Saudi Arabia, Oman and Dubai, the second-largest sheikdom in the United Arab Emirates, say they’ll run deficits next year as low prices squeeze revenue. Also, sovereign wealth funds have been hurt by falling stock markets. The New York- based Council on Foreign Relations estimates a fund held by Abu Dhabi, the largest sheikdom in the UAE, lost $125 billion.

“It’s not in the interests of the global economy for oil prices to collapse or have huge increases,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “There should be stability to oil prices.”

Kuwait appointed Sheikh Mohammed acting oil minister on Jan. 12 as the third-largest OPEC producer formed its fifth cabinet since February 2006 after opposition lawmakers forced the previous government to resign.
