Coincidence?

I guess we all should have been able to see this one coming. Not to make fun of anyone actually affected but.... isn't it interesting that after the largest pork barrel spending bill in the history of the universe (known anyway) that the swine flu strikes? Coincidence? I don't know... but it darn sure is odd.

On a brighter note Sen Arlen Specter, self professed "republican" with a very liberal voting record, finally got too confused being a "RINO" and announced he was switching to the democrat party. YO!!! Grab McCain and don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way over to the dark side.

In other Washington happenings.... Air Force One manages to do a fly by of New York City and the Statue of Liberty.... and Obama knows nothing about it at all? And ONLY Chuck Schumer could be partisan enough to figure out a way to blame the Bush administration for it. (Ever notice how when shit hits the fan Democrats are always innocent as the wind driven snow?)

Bear in mind that AF One only flys one person.... the President. The fact that it or the back up plane would be in the air without the knowledge of the President is a joke. If nothing else AF One and it's twin need to be on call 24/7 in case of emergency. When not on an official mission those two aircraft are "hanger queens" and spend all their non flight time being spit shined and maintained in a 100% state of readiness. The White house knew nothing of this photo OP? Bovine fertilizer!

As a side issue the formatting on this page has decided to ignore the person doing the typing. I'm typing with actual paragraphs... three... four sentences..... a break..... the usual stuff. The program, however.... is electing to just jam everything together. I love it when computers think they know what is best. Reminds me of Politicians. I'll see if I can get into HTML and manually insert some breaks later.

Anyone else out there old enough to remember the saying.... "As General Motors goes.... So goes the country." Yeah.... I'm dating myself here but what the heck. If that statement is true then I guess the country is going down the ol' toilet. I tried to warn y'all that Obama was Stalin Light and if he and the democrats got elected America as we've know it was finished. IF we have a "next time" perhaps you'll listen to me then.

I keep telling you to just check off the Obama agenda from the old Engels and Marx work.... The Communist Manifesto... but I think a bunch of you think I'm joking about that too. I'll try a little cut a paste to save you from looking.

10 Conditions For Transition To Communism

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with Statecapital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equal distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production,

According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a transition from capitalism to communism, but Marx and Engels later expressed a desire to modernize this passage.

Please remember that this was first published in 1848 so the terminology has changed over the years. Still you should be able to get the general idea.

I don't know about you but it seems that the Obama administration is just going right down the list here. They have already taken over GM and Chrysler. Bond holders had a 27% stake in GM and the government had 15%. After the takeover the bond holders got 13% ownership and the government got 53%. Can anyone tell me what the media reaction would have been if George Bush had done this?

The government has also just granted itself broad powers to seize banks! The bank doesn't even have to have any financial difficulties to fall prey either. CitiBank seems to be in the cross hairs right now... so perhaps Honey and I need to consider moving our accounts soon while it's still our money. To say that I don't trust this government is a massive understatement.

Well.... I have many more thoughts... however the frustration at not being able to FORCE this damn page to format correctly is really pissing me off. It even refused to follow HTML formatting commands so it's hopeless. I suspect democrats behind this somehow. They can screw up an anvil with a glass hammer.

I'm outta here
