It's snowing outside, and I have been listening to "Christmas at the Devil's House," which is essentially hair band meets classic Christmas songs. Pretty freakin' awesome. So I'm sitting here drinking my coffee and that invariably leads to me thinking about the universe, which inevitably leads me to become irritated with some or many things.

Things that are currently irritating me:

1. Terrorists.
2. People who only talk about their kids. All the time. Hey, I'm reproducing but I refuse to become a baby robot in 10 weeks when Baby makes her debut. I'll still talk about, you know, other stuff...complicated things like the weather, politics, the economy, Obama-bashing, etc etc.
3. Crashing bores.
4. Allergies.

Things that are definitely Not Irritating Me:

1. Snow! I woke up at 4:45 this morning to check and see if it snowed. I am such a little kid. I saw the white trees and ground and couldn't go back to sleep. So I went outside and stood in the falling snow in the dark while in my PJs and bathrobe.
2. Blog friends. People I talk to to on a regular basis online or through blogs.
3. Blink 182 "What's my Age Again?" Nobody likes you when you're 23. I remember listening to this song when I was about 17, and thinking 23 was old.
4. Memories.

Some day, someone who knows me outside of this blog is going to find out who I am, and get super pissed. I'm just sayin'.

What is Wrong Here?

A 34 year-old Wal-Mart worker is trampled to death yesterday morning by a crowd of over-zealous shoppers.

Police were reviewing video from surveillance cameras in an attempt to identify who trampled to death a Wal-Mart worker after a crowd of post-Thanksgiving shoppers burst through the doors at a suburban store and knocked him down.

Other workers were trampled as they tried to rescue the man, and customers stepped over him and became irate when officials said the store was closing because of the death, police and witnesses said.

What the hell?! What is WRONG with these people?

Is getting that plasma really worth killing over? All of those shoppers that stepped on/over that Wal-Mart worker should be charged with manslaughter, in my opinion. It's an embarrassment to the civilized world. It's humiliating to me that I live in a country where materialism is so idolized that people's lives take second place.

I think we as Americans are way too consumerist and materialistic. It's a blight on society, as we unfortunately see here. Holidays are reduced to dollar-blitzkriegs, while we are only concerned about the latest name brand.

Sad.

Black Friday

Time to do some online shopping and hit up my local Wal-Mart...hopefully, we don't get trampled...

Happy Thanksgiving

Gobble gobble.

*update* Enjoy your feasting, but remember to keep the people of India in your prayers, as well as the British, Israeli, and other tourists currently being held hostage by Muslim terrorists.

Obama Has Done Enough

Really. Enough. Like, say, helping wreck the economy.

After an awful week in the stock market, Team Obama sent its acolytes out to the Sunday morning shows to let everyone know that the president-elect’s campaign promise to impose tax increases on higher-income earners as quickly as possible probably won’t kick in until at least 2011.

By doing so, Obama and his inner circle finally, if only tacitly, acknowledged what they had refused to recognize during the presidential campaign, namely that economic expectations matter in the here and now.

This opens the door to the incoming administration’s next required admission — that their candidate, their party, and the expectations they created during the presidential campaign have been mostly responsible for the steep dive in the equity markets, and, nearly six months ago, put the economy into what will probably officially be declared a recession after this year’s fourth quarter. Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid did this in the areas of energy, taxation, and, with heavy assistance from Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke, bailouts. With the exception of forcing, with the help of public opinion, a temporary lifting of the Outer Continental Shelf offshore drilling ban, there is little George Bush or the Republican minorities in Congress have been able to do to stop them, or to manage expectations.

And this:

Collectively, these factors have weighed down the economy for nearly half a year. In recognition of when they began doing what they have done, Team Obama and the POR economy’s performance must therefore be benchmarked against where things stood on June 1, 2008, as follows:

* Inflation (June 2007 through May 2008) — 4.2%.
* Unemployment — 5.5% (as of the May report; currently 6.5%).
* Prime rate — 5.0%.
* DJIA — 12638 (down 36% as of the November 21 close).
* S&P 500 — 1400 (down 43% as of that same close).
* NASDAQ — 2523 (down 49%).
* Quarterly GDP growth before the June-related adjustment — 3.3%.

Not good, my friends. Electing Obama was the absolute worst thing we could have done for America. Quote me on this in a few years.

Religious Persecution

I am so glad I don't live in Commie-fornia anymore. Speak out for against gay marriage and you get investigated by the state.


The Left preaches tolerance, but what they really mean is we'll-only-tolerate-you-if-you-agree-with-us.

The LDS church has every right to speak out against gay marriage and fund legal efforts to stop it. The gays do not have a right to vandalize LDS property or persecute Mormons and/or Christians because they are simply mad. What we see going on here in California is very disturbing.

Emergency Preparedness

I've been doing a lot of thinking about disaster preparedness. This is partly due to Obama winning the election, and partly due to just the facts of life in our current world. Some things we have been doing:

a) compiled a list of all local, state, and federal emergency information. This includes power plants, water plants, police, fire, hospitals, FEMA chapters, our county's official in charge of disaster coordination, MODOT, etc. We printed out website, phone, e-mail, and physical addresses of all of the above and put copies on our desks at home, in the basement, and a few extra for our cars.

b) started stockpiling resources. TP, bottled water, latex gloves, plastic sheeting, duct tape, hydrogen peroxide, canned food, wound care items (gauze, antibiotic cream, general first aid kits you can buy at the drug store), OTC pain relievers, prescriptions, soap, hygiene items, etc.

c) weapons. To maintain privacy, I won't go into the exact types of weapons we own. But it's enough to scare off some n'er-do-wells if chaos hits the streets.

d) I still need to get some disaster/survivalist manuals, especially the kind that detail how to hunt effectively, survive a cold winter/hot summer, find water sources, filter water, nuclear survival, etc.

Some cool sites:

*update* I would also like to have mobile home out somewhere in the Missouri hills with an underground shelter and a generator. I would also like there to be a well and electricity would be optional, since in the event of a major disaster power would be off anyways. If we do end up being able to snag some property someday with a mobile home, I won't tell anyone where it is, or that I even have it. I would just like to have one. :)

Missouri Bayou Culture

I've come across an interesting aspect of Missouri life: the Missouri Bayou Culture. The other day, some friends-of-friends-of-friends (you know how that goes) decided to put together a barbecue. All we knew was that we were going to be near a river and hang out. We ended up experiencing an aspect of Missouri/Southern culture that we hadn't expected.

For some background, we live in a suburban area flanked by the sticks. Go 1.5 miles one way, you run into a cornfield. Go 2 miles the other way, you run into the main drag of town, which is older than dirt and pretty cool architecturally and historically speaking. We do have shopping centers around, but we still get stuck behind tractors and all sorts of farming contraptions during planting and harvest seasons. It's an interesting mix of rural and suburban life; a mix that I rather enjoy. I never feel stifled, but I never feel isolated, either. We also live close to a major river, and the lowlands around us flood from time to time.

This barbecue happened to take place only about 2.5 miles north of our house, which is completely agricultural. We had never been north much before since that seemed to only be flat cornfields for as far as the eye could see, replete with private gravel driveways and rusty pickups full of haybales and livestock driving by on narrow country lanes.

We followed the directions given to us, and they took us past the typical Mid-American, old farmhouses surrounded by ancient trees dotting the otherwise flat landscape (I love seeing those old barns and farmhouses...it's living Americana). Then we turned off on a gravel "road" and started driving through some woods, where the vegetation I noticed was different. There were more low-lying brushes and reed-type plants interspersed among the typical Missouri elms, oaks, maples, pines, etc.

All of a sudden, the dense woods broke, and we were in the middle of this community built on stilts and in shanties along the river. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen. The poverty of the people there didn't bother me since I don't really care whether or not you live in a hut or mansion. I think I would prefer the hut, honestly. But these shanties were the kind with tin roofs, homemade windows and doors, etc. My husband and I both looked at each other kind of skeptically, but we were also extremely curious. We had never seen anything like this before, except maybe on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. I had seen some similar type structure in the Louisiana Bayou, and parts of Alabama before when driving through there.

The River People seemed to keep to themselves. You had the distinct feeling you were an outsider, and though the people residing there were distantly polite and friendly, you also got the impression they never really ventured much outside of their community except for provisions, and they wouldn't much mind if you never ventured into their area, either. I would never have guessed that just up the road from my lovely neighborhood where you sit at the local Cracker Barrel with real cowboys and farmers, that there was this community of isolated people. I kept my ears out around town for mention of this little shanty-town, since I never even knew it existed and we've been here almost 3 years.

So far, I've heard the folks up there referred to as Les Perruques, the River People, the Big Muddy culture, and the Bayou Folks. I don't know. To me, it's fascinating. Slightly creepy, but fascinating nonetheless. I've done some research and I haven't been able to find much on the Bayou People who live in relative privacy and semi-secrecy just a stone's throw from my back door. I never even thought a Bayou-type culture existed this far north.

I'm going to ask around. I met some people from that community who were reserved and awkward, but seemed nice enough to talk about it, albeit in very few words. I'll post updates as I learn them about this River Culture.

Hope and Change - Psych!

So a mere two weeks after victory, 'hope and change' and 'a break from the past' reified into parceling out posts to dozens of Clintonite retreads, plenty of the old requisite Ivy-League law degrees, ample influence from establishment ex-lobbyists, de rigueur Sidwell Friends for the kids, and apparent sudden existential angst and uncertainty over FISA, getting out pronto from Iraq, closing down the Constitution-shredding Gitmo, and overturning the McCarthyite Patriot Act—and all to acclaim and relief from aristocratic Beltway pundits of both parties? So that was all the election was about? Just new faces on the same old, same old? And relief that Treasury, the National Security Advisorship, and Defense will be in the hands of well-known centrists? And at least on national and homeland security it is perhaps not the shadow of Bill Clinton, but of George W. Bush, that now begins to loom large?

Obama; German Publisher = Huge Conflict of Interest

This needs to be investigated STAT.

There is soooo much we don't know about the President-Elect, and everything coming to the surface is hardly reassuring.

I. told. you. so. x 100,000,0000.

The New Economy

All the MSM is talking about is how bad things are with the economy. All over the TV and the Internets, there are news "specials" that show sob stories of families suffering right now because of Bush's economy. Etc, Etc, Etc.

But our lives haven't really changed all that much. Sure, we lost most of our savings in the stock market about a month ago along with everyone else, but that's the way of the markets. I expect that we'll have made the money back within the next 2 years, as long as Obamessiah and his cronies in Congress don't screw things up that much.

Some things we do differently due to the economy:

1. I shop at Aldi's 1 - 2x per month. Aldi's is a cash-only grocery store where you bag your own groceries. I can feed two people on Aldi's prices for a week for around $50-$60. I still visit my local (more expensive) grocer another 1 - 2 times per month.
2. We cut down satellite TV. No more Ghost Hunters or Dog Whisperer. Instead, we went to Dish's basic family plan which has the cable channels plus Fox News. We cut out about $40 a month there. I buy TV episodes of my favorite shows online for $2 now.
3. We don't eat out as often as we did about a year ago. Not a big deal.

With those two changes, I estimate we are saving approximately $120-$150 per month, which is more than enough to offset higher food prices. Take into account that gas is dirt cheap right now, and I am not quite sure why there are so many people complaining about the economy (other than lay-offs, or retirees losing their savings).

Another great thing is that just about every retailer in the entire universe is offering some sort of buying incentive. Whether it's sales, free shipping, no sales tax, etc. I've done all of my holiday shopping online so far, and it's been streamlined and relatively inexpensive. I've even started doing shopping on drugstore.com because of the convenience and the prices (which are competitive with my local drugstore, and drugstore.com offers no tax right now), instead of driving 10 minutes to my local Wal-Mart. So many online retailers are offering great deals on everyday products. Example: We just bought a $240 stroller off of Amazon.com for 50% off with free shipping.

Other than all that, we are pretty frugal people all things considered. We bought all used furniture for our nursery, and refinished a lot of it ourselves. I am a rampant ebay-er. I've been a Goodwill rat for the past several years. The one thing I do splurge on is books. I love buying e-books.

I could see how if you are used to living the high life, the current economy might be troublesome to the point of being in one of those sob stories, or if you just sorely mismanaged your finances.

Maybe I am naive.

Bankruptcy Pre-Pack

Not as terribly, God-awful bad as a full-on bail out.

It was a slap in the face of Americans this week when the Big Three CEOs flew in on their private jets to ask for government handouts. In the normal world, if you don't do your job, you get fired. I guess the CEOs don't understand that concept (or Democrats, for that matter). It wouldn't be great to have 3 million people + lose their jobs if the American auto industry tanks, but in our free market system, that's life. If the unions didn't have so much power and the American auto makers took a hint on business concepts from foreign automakers like Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, etc etc, maybe this wouldn't be such a huge mess.

Let the Big Three die out, and foreign investors will swoop in and buy up the companies, probably hire the same people, and resume business activity. But where's the fun in that?

Definitely Not Change

Daschle to be head of Health and Human Services.

Same old same old from the Messiah who promised "reform" and "change in Washington. So far, all this "change" is simply yesterday's turd re-gifted.

Well, Obama: Liar, liar pants on fire!

Change?

I don't think so. Obama is turning out to be a carbon-copy of Clinton, except way more radical.

I like being right all of the time.

NO no no no no

Even though the Democratic Do-Nothings would itch at another chance to spend my tax dollars into oblivion, I am sincerely hoping that public opinion prevails, and the US Automakers are allowed to fail. The unions have too much power, and it's partially their fault for the bankruptcy of these companies. Let the markets work this thing out, for once.

Stupid

If you're still falling for those Nigerian email scams, then you're an idiot.

In this case, it sounds like the woman had more of a mental illness, though.

Obama Transition Team Removes Promises from Website

All Statements from Barack Obama expire -- or Just Disappear Entirely.


(h/t: Instapundit)

Not surprising. Again.

White House Senior Advisor Linked to Rezko and Davis

I did like a 30-minute search for Valerie Jarrett, Obama's newly-appointed Senior Advisor.

According to Judicial Watch, Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama's former boss.) Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that worked with Rezko and Davis.

According to press reports, housing projects operated by Davis and Rezko have been substandard and beset with code violations. The Chicago Sun Times reported that one Rezko-managed housing project was "riddled with problems -- including squalid living conditions...lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers."

As Chief Executive Officer of the Habitat Company Jarrett also managed a controversial housing project located in Obama's former state senate district called Grove Parc Plaza. According to the Boston Globe the housing complex was considered "uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage...In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale -- a score so bad the buildings now face demolition." Ms. Jarrett refused to comment to the Globe on the conditions of the complex.

So Jarrett can't even run her own crap, and she is now going to be advising Obama. Blind leadin' the blind, folks. Just another one for "Obama is a Peawit."


*update* Judicial Watch has more. Here's the PDF of documentation of Jarrett being involved in real estate scandals.

Just another thug in the Obama administration. Not surprising, really. Obama supporters should be getting nervous right about now, if they haven't become so already.

Obamessiah: No Lobbyists!, er, Wait...

After a phenomenally bad start as President-Elect, here's another questionable issue about the Obamessiah.

Again, from the Man-child's mouthpiece, the NYT:

After campaigning on promises to end the influence of lobbyists in the White House, Mr. Obama has imposed rules that bar officials on his transition team from handling any issues in areas of policy where they have lobbied over the last 12 months or from seeking to influence the same agencies for the next 12 months.

At least one official initially involved in the transition appears to have been reassigned because of concern about his lobbying or legal work. Henry Rivera, a former Democratic commissioner on the Federal Communication Commission who was involved in planning for the agency’s transition, has dropped out of that role because he had represented clients on communications policy in the last year, the newsletter Communications Daily reported Friday.

Some appear to skirt the edges of the ban on working in areas of the transition where they have recently lobbied. Handling some Interior Department issues is Keith Harper, who lobbied earlier this year for Native American tribes. Overseeing the Consumer Products Safety Commission is Pamela Gilbert, a former executive director of the agency who as recently as two years ago lobbied for a consumer advocacy group. Within the last year she has lobbied for the company Barr Laboratories, for an investor group, and for an antitrust enforcement group.

And on and on and on. And on. The article goes on to list around a dozen people who appear to not fit Obama's promises about eliminating lobbyists' influence in the White House.

Inneresting.

Could it be that Obamessiah is finding out that all the promises he made on the campaign trail are no longer viable? Wait until he makes a move on gun control. Americans love us some guns. If Man-child and the Do-nothing Congress touch our guns, you can expect a Republican sweep of the House and Senate in two years.

Just waiting for Obamessiah to come out and say:

"Sorry, folks. Bush put us in such a bad position economically with two wars, I'm just not able to do tax cuts right now. I think we all need to work together and sacrifice a little for our country. We're going to have to restructure the tax system."

Just. wait. When that happens after the Bush tax cuts expire, I will link back to this post and you can all go to hell. K?

From the NYT. No, Really.

Looks like Obama decided not to attend the upcoming emergency economic summit with world leaders.

Several Obama advisers, in separate interviews, all used the word “awkward” to describe the situation.

The situation has already fostered misunderstandings. Russian officials told reporters in Moscow that President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia would probably meet with Mr. Obama during his trip to the United States this weekend, even though the Obama camp has ruled that out.

The potential for even more significant misunderstanding was underscored last weekend when a quick, seemingly perfunctory telephone call by Mr. Obama returning the congratulatory call of Poland’s president led to a dispute about what was said about missile defense. If confusion over such a delicate issue could arise from a roughly five-minute phone call, Obama advisers reasoned, then the prospect of longer encounters in person with foreign leaders at this point would be fraught with peril. He has not even designated a secretary of state, Treasury secretary or national security adviser.

Mr. Obama called for “a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20” in a campaign stop in Miami in September. But some of his advisers said the timing of the gathering this week was not their choice and wished there were a graceful way to call it off or at least postpone it.

Now, some people might say that Bush should be the one to represent our country until Obama is sworn in in January. It's just funny that Obama called for exactly this type of meeting, and now he is going to stay home and play basketball, presumably.

All Obama's talk about the economy, and an opportunity like this comes up and he disses it. I think it's a bad call on his part. He could always say beforehand through his spokespeople and/or teleprompter that he doesn't agree with Bush, and he is simply there to start preparing his administration for handling the worldwide economic situation when he takes office in January.

Interesting article coming from the Messiah's mouthpiece.

*emphasis mine

From the Messiah Himself

Barack Obama has been a leader on government transparency – refusing to take donations from lobbyists or PACs, improving disclosure and creating a database where the public can track federal contracts and earmarks.

HAHA. Blatant signs of fraud with his campaign, including donations from the Palestinians and other overseas entities, and he won't release campaign finance records because his campaign doesn't "have the time" for that.

from Obama.com. Seriously!

Communist Bloc Making Move Expecting Weak U.S. President

Russia. China. Cuba. Venezuela.

No coincidence that this is all happening after Obama wins the election. The communist world expects a weak leader in the Messiah, or perhaps even a supporter. I so can't wait for January 20th, when Obama is going to have to say something other than "present." He's already making a complete fool out of himself, and the poop hasn't even hit the fan. It's so awesome.

This wouldn't have happened had McCain been elected.

I'd still like to know more about what's under Obama's skirt in connection to this criminal group...but I doubt that's likely since Dear Leader has a penchant for not wanting to flash his undies for everyone to see.

I bet this guy is living in Obama's neighborhood, too.

It's a great post, read it to the end. Then have the balls to tell me Obama is awesome. Douchebags.

Not surprising. Just disturbing.

Nationalized Healthcare Already in the Works

The calls for President-elect Barack Obama to move quickly on health care reform will strengthen Wednesday with a call from the head of the powerful Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont).

Baucus will unveil a "white paper" report titled "Call to Action: Health Reform 2009" at a Washington news conference.

The package will recommend policy changes in numerous areas "as a means of achieving a goal of affordable, accessible health care for every single American," Baucus' office said Tuesday.

In other words, nationalized health care. Welcome to socialism, my friends. The poop is still hurtling towards the proverbial fan, and it's going to be very, very stinky.

I wonder if His Majesty would be offended at the mockery going on here?

Obama Ready to "Take Power" and "Rule"

via the Messiah's spokesman:

Jarret told Brokaw that "given the daunting challenges that we face, it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to rule day one."

Not serve his country for once? Are you kidding me?! Take power and rule? That's, again, awfully Stalin-esque of him.

Obama Contradicts Self on Missile Shield; Proves He is a Turd

First, Obama assures Poland the Eastern Europe missile shield would continue developing. Now, the Man-Child says he's made "no commitment" on it. Wow, that makes him look really strong and brilliant.

Way to start pissing off our allies, the people who actually like us and support us.

Obama is possibly the most retarded person I've ever seen. And he's not even in charge yet. OMG, he's such a butthead.

Countrywide Investigations

Looks like some top Dems, including Kent and Dodd, are being investigated for the so-called "Sweetheart Loans," given to some of the privileged upper class by mortgage companies.

When are the Republicans going to appoint people to start investigating Obama's campaign financing? Connections to the thug Rezko?

Obama is the Ultimate Tool

President-Elect Obama, Day #2

Obama takes cheap shot at Nancy Reagan. Then calls personally to apologize.

So far, Obama's doing a piss-poor job of preparing to take over the reins of this country.

When I saw approximately 48 hours ago that Obama was going to make a fool out of himself, I didn't necessarily think it would be in a matter of days.

I am starting a new category called "Obama is a Peawit." Whenever the Man-Child says or does anything incredibly dull-witted, I will post about it under that category. I have a very heavy hunch that if the past 2 days have been any indication, Obama is going to end up making George Bush, Jr., look like Einstein.

Literally, he's screwing up and it hasn't even started.

As of 12:18 CST, the DJI is continuing to get trashed by Obama anxiety.

Putin is also considering a comeback now that Obama is President-Elect. Apparently, the respect Putin had for gun-slingin' Dubya doesn't translate over to President-Elect Kumbaya.

AND, China is urging Obama to respect free trade. That's frightening.

MSM Already Turning on the Messiah?

Imagine how surprised I was when I visited CNN's homepage and saw the huge headline:

HIGH HOPES, HIGH EXPECTATIONS: Global Challenges Loom

"Statements from dozens of world leaders and images of people around the globe celebrating his election make clear Barack Obama will enjoy much international goodwill. But the challenges are many and the expectations sky-high."

Or on MSNBC:

OBAMA HOUSING PLAN LIKELY WON'T BE ENOUGH

Or from my local liberal rag (courtest of AP):

Russian Threats, Afghanistan Deaths Mean a Sober Wake-Up for President-Elect

Or From AP:

Great Expectations: Obama Will Have to Deliver


My analysis: Now that the Messiah is in the Oval Office for better or worse, the State Media is getting nervous. The celebratory hangover has worn off for all media liberals, and now reality sets in: Obama is untried, has a questionable past, and is inheriting the most difficult situation a President has had to deal with (ever?) in many generations.

What you see here now on the liberal "news" sites is an attempt to cover their collective buttocks in case Obama falls flat on his face as President, which he inevitably will. Shocking, considering they sang his praises day in and day out for two years, and he wins the election and now they're hedging their bets.

The Liberal Media is going to crucify Obama when they realize he will not be able to do everything he promised.

Obama's first day as President-Elect, and things are not looking good for him. The worst post-election day stock market crash in history, world leaders already posturing, and now his beloved "gracious" media is already taking Michelle Obama to task on her choice of clothing from last night, and questioning Obama's ability to come through on all he promised.

People are getting nervous, and the Fat Lady is warming up.

Obama Picks Rahm Emanuel

as Chief-of-Staff. The radical, Clinton-insider Rahm Emanuel will accept if the position nets him more power than his current position in Congress. Nice "change," Dear Leader. Try again. seems like more of the same ol' to me.

Not surprising, given Obama's penchant for extremist ideologues and Chicago thugs. Rezko, now Emanuel. Obama's downfall is already beginning, and he's not even the President yet. *note* Did you see stocks crash toda on news of Obama win? Just sayin'.

FYI, Obama is already looking like an idiot, what with how Israel and Hamas are already shooting at each other, Russia lifting their proverbial leg on BO today, and Iran issuing a warning for the US to stay out of Iranian airspace.

And it's only been 12 hours! Obama tried to "prepare" his disillusioned, psychotic, Kool-Aid-drinking supporters by saying in his victory speech that "change" will "require everyone to work harder, and sacrifice", and that "change will not happen overnight, in one year, or even in one term," and we are not individuals, but a collective. What, Barry, realizing that you talked too much and can't follow through on anything you said? Tee hee.

Haha, I wonder how many liberals are having buyer's remorse already, and realizing that Obama said whatever it took to get into office.

For Conservatives, it's going to be a very vindicating four years.

Alright, you Leftists, you got what you wanted. Now it's time to see how quickly you self-destruct.

Some Comfort

The Obama-BIDEN administration is going to be hilarious. The blog posts just right themselves. I mean, Biden, a complete gaffe-machine and total nutbag, is going to have four years of unfettered freedom to say whatever he wants. If history repeats itself (and it inevitably will), Biden's comments should make for a very comical (and groan-inducing) administration. Let's see the State Media spin that in a positive light.

Obama is inheriting a very difficult situation with a tanked economy and two wars. He also set himself up on this golden pedestal of "change," without any record of any kind -- unless you count voting "Present" in the Senate a record. His blind supporters are giggling, crying and cheering today for their Dear Leader, and I just smugly smile as I wait for January 20th, and the time when all of us Mac fans can decisively say "I told you so."

Obama, whilst intelligent, is completely untried and way in over his head. If his regime doesn't re-energize the Conservative Base and poise us for a takeover in 2012, nothing will.

In four years, those same idiotic college students cheering for vague "change" and "hope," (without actually knowing what Dear Leader is talking about), will be crying in their beer after they get their first real jobs and realize that life is not like their college beer pong parties.

A lot of people are taking this "high road," "let's give Osama a chance," etc. Not me.

Worst President ever! Not my President, baby!

It's been 8 sucky years of defending stupid Bush (who I blame in large part for this). I am sooo looking forward to watching the last nail in the coffin of the Extreme Left. Barack Obama is the that nail.

Their downfall is going to be amazing. *cackles*

*update* Obama will stub his toes, and it will be amusing.

Obama Wins

It looks like this is the first of many posts over the next four years under a Socialist regime. Not only is the first extremist, Marxist President going to walk through the halls of the White House, but Congress and the Supreme Court will be infested with the loonies as well. That basically pulverizes the checks-and-balances system in place, which is what the Extremist Left has wanted for a long time: unfettered power.

Below are some predictions I have for the upcoming four years. At least some of them will come true; it is inevitable. I will refer you back to this post over the next few years, and check off these occurrences as they happen:

1)The first will be the Freedom of Choice Act, which will mandate taxpayer money to fund abortions.

2)The second will be the Fairness Doctrine, which will effectively attempt to silence conservative talk radio.

3)The third will be unbelievable taxes. I believe that at first, everyone making under XYZ (we still don't know the exact amount) will get a tax cut. But after a year or two, President Obama and the Extremist Congress will see that their outrageous social programs are underfunded, and then taxes will be raised in a series of waves.

4)Unemployment is going to skyrocket probably around the middle of Obama's term, like year 1.5.

5)Capital gains will drop due to the high tax rates.

6)Inflation will soar, as it inevitably does under a Liberal administration during tough economic times. Prices on everyday items such as gas, food, etc, will go up.

7)Next, we will see the Middle East destabilize. Israel will have a whole host of problems to deal with once our pro-Palestinian President takes office.

8) The National Deficit will climb exponentially as social welfare programs are expanded mercilessly.

9) Health care will be nationalized.

10) Businesses will be penalized for carbon usage. This will in turn cause prices on everday items to jump, making them unaffordable for a lot of Americans.

Today is the Day

I voted. Did you?

Once polls start closing, I will be blogging on my laptop. Hopefully, my faith in the intelligence of the American people is justified, and John McCain will be the next POTUS.

Ohio's been called for Obama. Game over. Welcome to the USSR.

Obama and Fraudulent Campaign Donations

His campaign still is and has been accepting foreign donations and fraudulent funds...and no one cares, apparently.

Obama is running the most corrupt, criminally-minded campaign in U.S. history, and the Leftist Media remains silent, and the crazy-wacko Obama supporters don't really care. Not surprising. I haven't yet met a Liberal with a conscience, or a sense of absolute moral standards that do not shift with the whims of hedonism.

Obama Wants to Bankrupt Coal Industry

In his own words!

the non-Marxists are hammering this out in the coal belt, which includes the all-important states of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Could this be a late surprise? McCain is already leading among blue collar workers, since Obama and his Mainstream Media destroyed and mocked Joe the Plumber for daring to question Stal--er, Obama's business tax policy.

Could this swing the election heavily away from Dear Leader? For all that is good and holy, let's hope so.
