Stimulus Plan and The Nations Health
The Administration is touting the supposed success of Obama’s Stimulus plan saving 650,000 jobs. I have read the reports of this success story carefully. It is the biggest bunch of baloney produced by this group of political ciphers which make up the Obama team.
550,000 new applications for unemployment compensation were filed in the [...]
Drone Aircraft: Are There Assassination Implications?
The President is taking a long time deciding how to support the troops in Afghanistan but has little problem killing folks with Drone aircraft. The decision concerning the support of the troops on the ground is a continuing political discussion with decisions nowhere in sight.
In the meantime the increased use of drones to kill [...]
Obama Administration: All Hat–No Cattle?
That Texas expression can now be used to describe the folks that are striding across the American landscape posing as political leaders. They are obviously without capability to perform. The President certainly knows how to look presidential. He’s got the hat and the walk but it ends there. No cattle!
The substance is [...]
Phillies Fans Are Rooting for The Yankees
Several friends from Philadelphia have told me that they are rooting for the Yankees to win the AL pennant. The primary reason in each case is that they don’t want to stay up half the night watching World Series games on West Coast time. Those games can stretch to 2 AM East Coast [...]
Good Economic News- “Bad Numbers are Getting Less Worse”
What a relief: Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher in an interview said, ”bad numbers are getting less worse,” though growth next year will be a “tough slog” and “significantly below potential”.
I wonder if Fisher took a special English course in college that taught him how to structure his reports for bewilderment effect. I usually [...]
Phillies Answer to National Concerns
Watching TV and listening to the radio is a joy this week. I haven’t bothered with watching the talking heads on the Sunday shows and haven’t even thought about Obama’s latest pronouncements. Rush and Progressive radio have not been on my dial this week.
The Phillies are up 3 games to 1 on the [...]
Beiden, Smashing Pumpkins, Werewolves
Jeremy Clarkson said: “Nowadays people wear their stupidity like a badge of honor. Knowing how to play chess will get your head kicked off. Reading a book with no pictures in it will cause there to be no friend requests on your Facebook page.”
Jeremy was speaking about Great Britain in his piece written for the [...]
Nobel Peace Prize: Am I Dreaming?
When I first heard that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize I thought I was in a dream sequence. When I realized that I was awake and hearing correctly, I then spent some time trying to understand the award.
Listening to commentary one observation caught my attention with an analogy that fit the [...]
Afghanistan and Obama
The current Obama review of U.S. policy going forward in Afghanistan is a scenario sure to give any thinking observer a case of nerves. Our Commander in Chief is making decision about our conduct of a war with significant primary input concerning it’s conduct coming from politicians.
General McChrystal whom the Commander in Chief put [...]
Stimulus Initiative: A Symptom of Insanity?
It has been said with attribution to Albert Einstein that “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
I’m not sure if this is a proper clinical definition but it is something to think about when viewing the Obama Administration answers to the rising unemployment under their leadership. The [...]
