President Obama and his administration have shattered the glass
ceiling.
Spending a staggering $3.5 Trillion during his first year in office,
the administration far exceeded any other first-year president.
The above figure is based on year 2000 dollars.
Using that formula - Bush spent $1.8 Trillion in 2001 and Clinton spent
$1.6 Trillion in 1993.
I believe I once heard the President say He's just getting started.
Hold
on to your hats, we're in for one hell of a ride.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems a little uncomfortable with the question about legal rights for Osama bin Laden.
As can be seen in this video the Speaker basically blew the reporters question off as if she were asking what her next best seller would be.
CNSNews.com asked Pelosi at her regular press briefing on Thursday: “When we capture Bin Laden, should he be told he has the right to remain silent and given a lawyer?”
Pelosi responded: “Well, let’s see, how many years has it been? Nine, eight years. Let’s worry about capturing Bin Laden and not worry about your, your question.”
The Associated Press is reporting that Sarah Palin's book is selling big in it's first week.
Palin's book "Going Rogue" sold 700,000 copies (includes pre-orders) in its first week.
The first printing of Palin's memoir came out November 17 with a first print of 1.5 million copies. Publisher HarperCollins announced on friday that printing would be increased to 2.5 million copies.
Seems Mrs Palin is about to become a million-selling author.
Bill Clinton's "My Life" sold more than 900,000 copies in its first week. I would venture to say Palin is doing pretty well considering she is not a former President.
Just a tidbit... Nancy Pelosi had a book in 2008 barely sold 3000 copies.
I'm not a scientist, so I rely on scientists to do what they do and I expect them to be honest with their findings. I've been a sceptic of Global Warming and Man-made Climate Change from the start. Based on the stories coming out now, Scientists are no better than Hookers, Prostitutions, members of our Congress and Senate.
It's being reported that a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit. The hacker accessed apporximately 61 megabites of confidential files with emails and released them on the internet.
The alleged emails that were released supposedly exchanged boy a few of the most prominent scientis suggest:
"Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more."
Brace yourselves folks, this is junk science at it's finest. I think we are in for some really interesting fallout from this in the weeks to come.
Unless of course, they can manage somehow contain this before it goes viral.
Here's are two interesting sites to read some of what the emails contained.
Did anyone think it possible? After all the planning and millions of dollars spent to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago, the bid would be tossed aside at the onset?
After all, Michelle Obama and Oprah sacrificed ( taxpayers money? ) to go all the way to Copenhagen to push the bid. Not to mention Barack Obama, flew there the following day (on taxpayers money) to place his shining star on the ticket.
Yes, it is possible. The IOC and the WORLD have said no.
Could it have been the protests in Chicago against having the Olympics there that caused it? Could it be gang killing of a teenager and the beating of another teenager that caused it.
Or, could this just be another worldwide "NO" to Obama? Possibly. Seems the POTUS is hearing that word a lot these days.
Where is the outrage? Where is the media? Why are we not hearing about Congressional hearings on this organization?
I've seen several blogs posted slamming Fox News (Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity in particular) and all their lies. The only lies I see are the lies of the ACORN folks.
Unemployment rates are at 26 yr highs. Unfortunately for teens (16-19), the rate is the highest it's ever been since 1948 when they started keeping track. Let's hope times get better soon.
I started working (as a dishwasher on weekends) when I was 14. I made $1.25 an hr. I can still remember the satisfaction it gave me when I got my first paycheck ($25.00). I bought myself some new clothes for the upcoming school year, and flowers for my Mom. I felt so grown up. Ahhh, those were the days.
I just love Maxine, and when I get emails with her comics in them, I always end up in stiches. This latest one is no exception.
"BAIL EM OUT! ????
Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!"
Have a great day, and enjoy Life. Let Maxine do the bitchin and moaning for you, if only for today.
I received this in an email this morning from one of my buyers. He's a 82yr old Navy retiree. Need I say more?
I've often been asked, 'What do you old folks do now that you're retired?'
Well..I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background, and one of the things I enjoy most is turning beer, wine, Scotch, and margaritas into urine.
And I'm pretty damn good at it, too!!
I do this brought a smile to your face, I know I'm smiling.
I received this photo in
an email entitled "If she hasn't she will".
I will say, that at first
I wasn't too sure what the title meant, until I studied the photo more
closely, and increased the size of it. In the email, it was
small and you really couldn't see the lion in the grass in the
background.
I have no idea whether it
was photo
shopped or if it is an actual picture. All I can
say for sure, is I do believe she has.
What say you?
