Maxine the Gangster: Flush 'em Friday: The 9 2 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Hello everybody and happy Flush 'em Friday!!!
Today I would like to start off the list with one of the biggest bigots, racist and plain goof-ball American politics has ever seen...

• Maxine Waters...for wanting to tax banks (does this include the one her husband has an interest in?) out of existence. The gangster politician speaks.
• The Feds, DOJ, for raiding Gibson guitars and suggesting that they outsource labor to Madagascar. 
• Progressives: because what is progressive (positive in any way) about the progressive agenda? 
• Frank McCourt...take the money and leave.
• People who turn right from the far left lane (3 lane roads) with about 100 feet to go, while smoking and texting.
• Again, purple cars. 
• Soccer players who flop and lay on the ground for extended periods of time.
• Housing prices, they still need to drop.
• Individual bags a chips, because the amount of chips keeps getting smaller.
• Goecaches that aren't maintained.

That is my list for this week.

What's on yours?

No Tax Tuesday and Chocolate the 8 30 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Yesterday I went by Ralphs to pick up few items to go with the pizza I was going to barbecue. In the line at the checkout I noticed some Twix and the sign said "Buy 2 get 1 free". Good deal. You know that candy, even chocolate, is taxed because it is not really food. I like chocolate. But, my wife and daughter sometime crave chocolate and they have to have it.  Chocolate is at times, a need, so I believe it should not be taxed.

Now, here is my beef with taxing chocolate as if it was not a necessity. If your a married man you know that sometimes your wife needs chocolate. Maybe like me it happens after you eat dinner. You get comfortable on the couch, turn on the TV, and your wife says, "I could really use some chocolate." You try to ignore her. "Honey, don't you want some chocolate?" You might reply, "No, I'm good, thanks." A few moments quickly pass. "Honey, I really want some chocolate." Fellas, you know how this goes. Luckily for me there is a 7-11 and a Rite-Aid within a block from where we live.

Now, let me ask you this (I know that sounds Southern). At that moment isn't chocolate a need? If I want to enjoy the rest of my evening in peace you are darn right I need to go get it for my wife! Now, as a life bonus my wonderful daughter is getting to be the age where she "wants" chocolate too. So now at times I have my wife and my daughter in need of chocolate. "Daddy, can you go get some chocolate ice cream?" I need to a have a stash someplace...

My point is that for me to have two happy women in my home, I need some chocolate, so therefore chocolate is a necessity. Since it is a necessity it should not be taxed. This No Tax Tuesday is a call for no taxes on chocolate because sometimes you just got to have some chocolate.

Loose Cannon Fire: Shovel Ready the 8 27 11 Edition

What follows are some quotes that just sort of stuck out to me...

But hating the Tea Party for being so insistent and single-minded in its focus on cutting spending is like hating a fire hall siren for calling attention to a potentially devastating blaze. And blaming the S&P downgrade on Tea Party-backed House Republicans makes about as much sense as blaming a raging fire on the 911 dispatcher. -  Jeff Jacoby (Town Hall)



I've heard more than 20 years of this oppressive windbaggery from do-gooder liberals who treat my unhyphenated American brothers and sisters and me as treacherous puppets for The Man. Their smug refusal to acknowledge free will, individual choice and true diversity of thought confirms that race-obsessed liberals remain the most unrepentant and odious racists of all. - Michelle Malkin (Town Hall)



I don’t know if you saw this with all the news yesterday. Illinois lost 89,000 jobs since enacting the largest tax increase in the history of the state, as reported by the Illinois Policy Institute.
It was the largest job loss of any state in the nation. - Jeff Carter (Town Hall Finance)



“Under my plan to reform healthcare,” says candidate Obama under this hypothetical, “we’ll imprison anyone who doesn’t buy health insurance. And to enforce the requirement we will put 16,500 more IRS agents on the street.” -John Ransom



“Under my plan for economic growth and recovery,” says our hypothetical candidate Obama, “we won’t even pass budgets. We’ll run up historic deficits and raise the debt ceiling, something that I condemned my opponents for. But we’ll do it without any systematic support or budget process.” John Ransom



“A successful campaign will heavily focus on the radical, do-nothing Republican Congress. That will resonate with people,” said Robert Creamer, a strategist for the progressive Americans United for Change. “Most [Americans] believe Obama shares their values and their concerns, and where he has failed them is his effectiveness to improve the economy. It seems to me the case the campaign needs to make is that that failure is a consequence of the damage created by Republicans and the refusal of Congress to take the necessary steps that he proposed for the economy.” = the biggest load of crap I have heard.

Feel free to add to the shrapnel....

Flush 'em Friday: Long Socks and High Shorts: The 8 26 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Happy Flush 'em Friday! It is time again to list those and that which deserve to be flushed down the old porcelain thrown.

The nominiees for this week are as follows:

• People who wear long socks with high shorts.
• Maxine Waters for hating the Tea Party almost as much as she hates her own people. How can someone who has done so little stay so long?
• The CONCACAF ref at the Galaxy game last night. I think they took a little too much off the top when they cut his hair.
• People who actually believe that  global warming is the cause for civil wars. Maybe, has Al Gore spoken in any of those countries?
• Geocachers who don't maintain their caches.
• Moammar Gaddafi and all other oil financing dictators...
• E.J. Dionne Jr. for believing that dumb luck = good foreign policy.
• Smokers in general but specifically those who hold their cigarette as far from their face as they can but closer to mine.
• Eugene Robinson for not admitting that "social justice" policies as engineered by liberals and Democrats for the past 40 to 50 years is holding many minorities, especially blacks, in plantations known as projects and THAT is more harmful than any other policy ever.
• The NBA lockout has got to end.

That's all folks!

No Tax Tuesday:Where Are All The Green Jobs 8 23 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Where are all the green jobs I heard both President Obama and California Governor Brown talk about "investing" in? I might even ask, "Where are any jobs?" That's what many of his own people (since he doesn't consider the half the raised him part of himself) are asking. Even Representative Maxine Waters (who has done squat divided by three for her people) wants to know where the jobs are? 

I decided to check out these so called green jobs. I went to http://greenjobscalifornia.org/ . There are quite a few headings under the  "Green Jobs Guidebook" section. Let's check them out and see what hope someone might have now that we have had a few years of real change. Under Low Carbon Power and Renewable Power there was one job for a Power System Operator and Instructor with a salary of $25 - $30 per hour. There was no minimum education required, no recommended college course work, but a High Level of experience needed: 10 years of progressively responsible and with 5 years in control room operations and 3 years as a Senior Shift Power System Operator. For the Solar Power and Photo voltaic (PV) Systems position there is a "Sorry, there were no jobs that met your query" response. When there is a "job" description it is described as Growth Potential, but, I have trouble finding the actual links to actual job applications. 

Where are these jobs? Where are any jobs? I did hear that the POTUS is going grant a Spanish company, Abegnoa Bioenergy,  $134 million in loan guarantees that will created 65 jobs. Palin says that is $134,000,000 /65= $2,061,538.46 per job. Now, just for fun let's extrapolate that a bit. For every 1,000 jobs that would be an investment of $2,061,538,460.00. After that the numbers get a bit much for my tiny calculator. Besides the obvious question, "Why not an American company?", how about 1,000's of real jobs that might actually help actual Americans? 

I'll bet that if you gave $2,000,000 to 1,000 Americans at least 10% of them would create businesses that would employ more that 65 people. I'll bet that if you gave 65 Americans the $2,000,000 at least 10% of them would create businesses that would employ more than 65 people! 

Give me $2,000,000 to create jobs...

Flush 'em Friday: Hollywood Busybodies The 8 19 11 Edition

Happy Flush 'em Friday!

It is time to Flush those and that which annoy, bother or insult you.

The following are my flushies:

• People who treat their pet(s) like the children they don't have. 
• Piers Morgan of CNN for being a creepy question kind of guy. 
• White liberals who accuse others white people, specifically conservative, of being racists. Every time  I hear a white liberal refer to someone else with the "we need to help those people" attitude I am stunned by their arrogance.
• The LA Clippers for being such an awful yet money making team.
• Tinsel Town busybodies like Janeane Garofalo who think just because they have a mouth and an opinion they should share it. Just like another orifice we all have, we don't need all need to share it.
• The color pink on any car. 

Well that will do it of this week...until YOU add your own.

No Tax Tuesday and the Blame Game 8 16 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Happy No Tax Tuesday! I trust you all are doing well.

As the campaign season edges towards us with the field narrowing I wonder what the dialogue will be like.

My main concern is if the media will allow the left to dictate the debate on everything, especially taxes. Whenever I hear a Democrat use the word or term "investment" I know there will be no positive return for me. 

Let me ask this: What happened to all the "investments" of President Clinton? I seem to remember that the Clinton's placed a tremendous emphasis on Not Smoking. I guess it did little to stop our current President from smoking. 

Way back in the 1960's then President L.B. Johnson pushed threw the Federal Department of Education and a thing called Title I. Quite and investment that has been. No Child Left Behind demanded that if districts and schools received Title I dollars they should prove they were actually helping students progress. Someone described NCLB as Title I with teeth. I work with a ton of Democrats and they all denounced NCLB like it was bill to once again allow slavery. I always remind them it is simply asking schools and districts to show they are using the funds responsibly. 

My simple point is this: will the debate be about blame as President Obama is already heading or will the media hear the public outcry and demand that tax dollars be used reasonably and responsibly or just for the securing of votes to maintain power?

I end with a little poem left on Chuck Norris' site.

It is titled "Dr. Seuss 2011":

I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like White House backdoor deals.

I do not like when they kick the financial can, I do not like this 'YES, WE CAN!'

I do not like their spending sprees. Why can't they get it -- nothing's free.

I do not like their smug replies, broken promises and corruption ties.

I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it -- Nope nope nope!
