$5,027,761,476,484.56

Written by Jim W on .

 

That number is the amount by which the federal government's debt has increased since President Obama took the oath of office.  In just 39 months, he has managed to do something that no other President ever could - increase the fed's debt by more than $5 trillion during his time in office.  And just think - he hasn't yet served a full term.  He's still got at least 8 months to go. 

We're fucked.

Barry Just Ain't that Bright

Written by Barthélemy Barbancourt on .

During a Rose Garden press conference, Mr. Obama, egregiously applied the notion of judicial activism to any decision that would invalidate any portion of the health insurance law commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” questioning how an “unelected group of people” could overturn a law approved by Congress. “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Obama said.

People, if you don't think Barry Sotero is stupid after those comments, you might have some mental issues of your own.

Hispanic neighborhood watch guy shoots black teenager while teenager was beating him.

The neighborhood watch guy by the name of Zimmerman is a Spanish-speaking registered democrat who comes from a family of mixed races of black and Hispanic. The 17 year-old, a black youth by the name of Trayvon was a ghetto dweller visiting someone in a gated community.

Somehow there was a confrontation, the police will not say how or what caused the confrontation. The police do say Zimmerman did not instigate the confrontation.

Who is this guy?

Written by Barthélemy Barbancourt on .

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father----not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

Somethin-Somethin

Written by kow on .

   Here's a little somethin-somethin to ponder. (h/t Marc Theissen) Imagine we've skipped Spring and Summer all the way to 11-7-2012 and find ourselves planted in front of our tvs watching the election celebrations. (Those of us with tvs. The rest will read it from the neighbors stolen Red-Star.) There are clips/photos of streamers, balloons and noisemakers rivaling Time Square 1999. Live-shots of parties still going on in Washington D.C., Los Angeles and (of course) Chicago. Even one of a bleery-eyed, disheveled  and hungover Bill Maher and Barbara Streisand staggering out of a seedy motel room. Can you guess who won the Presidential ticket, you know, after throwing up from that last image? 

   That's not even close to being the worst of it. Imagine these little tid-bits. 

   1.With a now true socialist in the Oval Office with nothing to fear, those two Supreme Court slots might open a little early ending the Roberts court. Think of all the damage this could do, with obummercare possibly being on the docket.

   2. You think the defense cuts Barry has proposed will be the last? Those of us gun owners just might be called back into service......when Barry's gone. (If we still have em) 

   3. Those of you with religious beliefs might want to find a dark alley to practice your beliefs the way YOU want to. 

   4. The EPA has only begun to unleash new regulations on manufacturing, bars, cars and your backyard. 

   5. Do you really think you'll be able to afford a gallon of gas in two years? In an emergency, I hope your Volt makes it to the hospital. Of course, that depends on your solar panels' ability to fully charge it. 

   6. We might want to chum up to our Greek friends to see how they've survived. Entitlements are going to be off the charts and they know how that turned out. 

   7. Those few companies or businesses that have somehow managed to stay above water will be taxed even deeper in a attempt by the government to keep up with their stake in benefits. 

   8. Does anyone really believe that the level of spending over the last four years will be a high water mark? That will be the new floor. (What comes after trillion?)

   9. And finally, Obummercare. I've got a little somethin-somethin I'm going to share here about my experiences in healthcare. For anyone thinking that healthcare and insurance have yet to be affected, I've got a brick to hit you upside the head with. And what I've had happen to me is only the beginning. 

   There you have it. Think about it for a minute....or two. What are you thinking now? Isn't it time to get behind ONE candidate and stop with these religious, constitution and whatever Newt is zealots??

We're back!

Written by Barthélemy Barbancourt on .

OK, so the Joomla site transfer is going poorly.  The question is should we go through with the transition or drop the site?

Now for a bit of the usual:

With no authorization from Congress, President Barack Obama has announced that his administration--through the Federal Housing Administration--will insure refinanced mortgages for 2 to 3 million borrowers without verifying their income or even if they hold a job, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Unemployment rate down. Whopeee!

Written by Sequel on .

The unemployment rate counts only those who participate in the labor market. It seems that millions of people have "stopped participating in the labor market". The government says they have stopped looking for work, therefore are no longer unemployed. How does the federal government determine this status?

Living Will

Written by Barthélemy Barbancourt on .

I, __Bart___, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept  alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead partisan politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors/hospitals interested in simply running up the bills.

 If a reasonable amount of time passes, and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

 ____X__a Martini ______a Margarita __X__ a Scotch and soda ______a Bloody  Mary ______a Gin and Tonic _______a Glass of Chardonnay


___X___a Steak ___X___Lobster or crab legs ___X___the remote control ______a bowl of ice cream

 

______the sports page____XXXX__Sex ______or Chocolate: It should be presumed that I won't ever get any better.

 

When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, and call it a day.  At this point, it is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band to come do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we have had.

The many unintended side effect of nanny state liberalism

Written by Barthélemy Barbancourt on .

I liberal friend of mine posted this on Facebook after I commented an article about the lunch room gestapo.

"Honestly, talking to parents who volunteer, we're usually talking about a parent who sent their kid to school with just a package of potato chips or a pop tart. Parents can be pretty dumb."

I wanted to point out that the act of checking the lunches sent a message that government knows more than your parents, assuming that they check all lunches. If they profile, we all know that is just reinforcing a negative stereotype on kids that already may have issues.

But the real damage they are doing is much more subtle, they are robbing the kids of valuable life skills. One of the things I remember doing at lunch was trading. We used to all open our lunch and see what we had, what we wanted and what we could trade (I'm sure that  is banned today).  Not only did we learn valuable social skills, but we also learned charity on a personal and realistic level. If there was one kid that always got the shaft, you could decide whether to trade your snickers for his raisins or not.

But the most damage these nanny state liberals are doing is robbing the kid of their ability to learn responsibility. Some background might help, I was a very picky eater as a kid. (Hard to believe today isn't it?) My mom was a world class lunch packer. I had her pack me a lunch most days until 10th grade when I started driving and could leave school for lunch. But kids are finicky and mom wasn't perfect, so I had to check to see what I was heading out with each day. If it didn't my high, and highly variable standards, it was up to me to fix it.

My mom had a rule, if you didn't like what she made, make your own. I honestly can't remember an age where I wasn't able to make basic sandwiches like PB&J, a bologna sandwich or a grilled cheese. Due to this I learned basic cooking skills early in life. Today I enjoy cooking and that probably has a lot to do with me being very comfortable in the kitchen.

So, as with most things in liberalism, the liberal moms feel good about feeding a kid that was sent to school with something that they feel is unacceptable. ("Liberal superiority complex" is about a descriptive as "wet water") They never think of how they are robbing kids of opportunities for growth. They are all convinced that the schools should be designed with the poorest, dumbest parent in mind and damn the rest. Every system produces what is was designed to produce, regardless of intentions.

Finally the cheap shot, 2 pop-tarts are far from the worst thing a kid can have for lunch.
