McCain agrees with Bill

Sen. John McCain said that GM should declare bankruptcy.
Finally, John McCain, republican standard bearer for the presidency in the 2008 election, has agreed with yours truly.
Appearing on the Fox News Networks on March 8, said General Motors, the nation's largest automaker, should stop receiving bailout money and declare bankruptcy.
Fox News reported McCain said on the program, "I think the best thing that could probably happen to General Motors, in my view, is they go into Chapter 11. They reorganize, they renegotiate ... the union-management contracts and come out of it a stronger, better, leaner more competitive automotive industry."
Fox News also reported that Obama's auto advisory committee will travel to Detroit Monday to meet with bigwigs from GM and Chrysler, which has received $4 billion in bailout money. The two companies have until the end of the month to show that they can reduce debt and could use the potential federal funding to yank themselves out of financial ruin.
General Motors has received $13 billion in taxpayer funding so far, and GM officials have said they'll need another $30 billion to fully save the company. The automaker lost $31 billion in 2008 and continues to plummet -- its stock lost a dismal 32 percent of its worth last Friday alone.
This observers position has alway been to cut'em loose. In a free market you have winners and you have losers.
GM, thanks to the UAW, via obscene contracts and work rules and to the U.S. Congress, via obscene pollution, CAFE standards and other ridiculous mandates is one of the biggest losers.
It is time to get GM off the government teat and let the autoworkers discover what is it like out here in the hinterlands where a GOOD JOB might pay 15$/hour.
Let'em see how the other half lives.

Kennedy and Limbaugh

Three cheers for Rush. He has the guts, intestinal fortitude for those whose feminine sensibilities may be upset by the manly term.
That is only one of the manly attributes Edward M. "little teddy" Kennedy was lacking on the fateful night of July 18, 1969. Had little teddy's surname been anything but Kennedy, he would have been jailed for leaving the scene of an accident/homicide. The punishment would have been more than a "go and sin no more", not even slap on the wrist from the constabulary of Hyannis Port, MA. After all, this is the man who would be King.
I will not mourn the loss of the remnant of the rum running Kennedy family which continues to pollute this planet with the family bilge.
As far as I am concerned, the sooner Edward M. "little teddy" Kennedy draws his last breath, the sooner we can all draw a sigh of relief.
The "lie 'n'" of the senate is more a coward, adulterer, and a drunk than a person to be honored. He is certainly not a creature to be idolized or admired.
This is only speculation for I am mad, as any fool can see.

How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Robert Gibbs

Whew, who will Obama's press secretary attack today?
Since taking office Gibbs has succeeded in attacking Rush Limbaugh, no surprise there, Rick Santelli of CNBC and Jim Cramer of CNBC. The latter is akin to a dog biting the hand that feed him.
This has been the most all out assault on the people of the press since Jimmy Carter.
This is the most marxist-socialist administration since "Landslide" Lyndon Baines Johnson. Who, by the way is the political god-son of Eleanor Roosevelt.
"Landslide" has the distinction of being the only president, at this point in time, to lose two wars simultaneously, Vietnam and Poverty. Obama is trying to outdo "Landslide" by losing the war on terror and destroy our economy and capitalist economic system

Bend Over and Grab Your Ankles

Our old buddette, San Antonio's Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, the Democratic caucus leader, is at it again.
This time the liberal darling of San Antonio is sponsoring a bill, now moving through the legislature, that sounds more like New York, Massachusetts and California than Texas. It is a bill designed only to make the "greenies" feel good about themselves and to gather revenue for the state through monetary penalties (fines) rather than by direct taxation. The fines can be upto $25,000.
Remember, businesses do not pay fines and/or taxes, YOU DO.
This "do gooder" bill has many unintended consequences. The enterprises most likely to be affected by this ill-conceived legislation are grocery stores and mass merchandisers, Wal-Mart, Target, and the like. In short the places you spend the bulk your disposable income.

Bamster v. Dow-Jones

Update 2/27/2009 9:49 am
Dow now at 7059.11, 122.10 down for session

On the basis of the stock markets performance during the first 31 days under the rule of the Bamster this could be a rough four years.
The market has reacted by tanking more than 400 points.
Perhaps this is a demonstration of the only tax evader smart enough to understand CRAP, er TARP and unlike another tax evader, "smart" enough to avoid jail time. What is the difference between the two?
Basically, Geithner was more guilty of a criminal act than the other tax evader, he should have known better.
But I digress. Someone who believes in a free market economy should tell the Bamster to get the hell out of the way and let the market place work. Had he done that 31 days ago we would be coming out of this downturn.
The longer he tries marxist-socialist-democrat snake oil remedies, the longer it is going to take to dig ourselves out.

The Great Imposter or Catch Me if You Can

In the early 1960's a movie was released called The Great Imposter.It was based on a true story of a bright young man who didn't the patience for the normal way of advancement. He found that people rarely question you if your papers are in order.
For readers who cannot recall, with clarity, the 1960's there was another film base on what is basically the same plot called Catch Me if You Can.
In The Great Imposter financial reward was not a motive. The fellow did it just to prove it could be done. Whereas, in Catch Me if You Can the protagonist motive and reward was monetary. (And to prove he could do it.)
The reason I am providing this background is, at this time we have one the greatest imposters, if not the greatest imposter in the history of our country residing in the White House.
It appears that his experience of being a "community organizer" did little to qualify the bamster to even be a let's pretend president.
This just in: "Puff" Daschel has withdrawn his name for HHS.
I am sincerely happy to see the bamster faced with all these staffing problems. If his name were Richard Nixon, he would already be gone. It is satisfying to see the dems feed on their own.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, hangs out with other ducks.......
The bamster in no way has the credentials to be president. And the MSM said Sarah Palin was unqualified.

The Most Transparent and Ethical Administration, EVER

In barely two weeks after his immaculation, the bamster is finding staffing his court a more than difficult task than he ever considered. His Secretary of the Treasury (IRS, etc) failed to pay his taxes for several years and failed to pay taxes on an illegal immigrant under his employ.
Now he is "sorry". Yeah, sorry he got caught. What an arrogant SOB but, he is so damn smart.
Ron Paul gets it.
Then, a former United States Senator, who is the bamster's designate to oversee health and social programs for the indigent, has been found to have tax and other issues which should disqualify him for government service. Tom Daschle is the honest and open guy the bamster has chosen to introduce nationalized "health" care.
I remember during the campaign people were saying, "He's won't be so bad". They were right, he will be worse.
