I Love Keith Olbermann

He's the three stooges in one person. He is a walking poster child of polyester suits and hair. His glasses scream German techno-rock star, but with less talent.

He exaggerates. He pontificates with platitudes that only his guests can agree with. Of course, Olbermann is known to be rude, nasty, vindictive and threatening to those that disagree with him. Olbermann knows he is right because Olbermann doesn't believe anyone is smart enough to understand just how smart Olbermann is. That must be why he has been fired or bounced from every where.

Olbermann is a clown.

Instead of big floppy shoes and orange hair, Olbermann has super wide lapels, synthetic hair, and a face that is just shy of being a caricature. His smarmy, little researched and stupid comments that act as punctuation marks to a comedic career are brilliant.

No individual can be this simply stupid, thus he is funnin' us.

My favorite is that lately the ever inferiority complexed person known as Olbermann loves to make is that Limbaugh's rating are only up by 40% while Olbermann's is up by 62%. I guess adding millions of listeners as opposed to Olbermann's dozens of watchers is a point we should all go to sleep with.

Rachael, whatever her name is, that wipes up after Olbermann has signed off, is a breath of fresh air. She gives weight to a wispy wind that wafts through an empty room. Unfortunately, nobody listens. Except for me.

MSNBC is my comedy channel. I enjoy watching it. Olbermann is America's Benny Hill without the depth. Maybe a course or two at a local college might help his gravitas.

In the meantime, Keith, just be you. Your parody of yourself is wonderful.

Obama's CITI Bank Looking Bad & DOW Going Towards 6,000s

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself and Obama is supplying all the fear to us that he can muster. Either that or he's incapable of the job of being president which appears to be what is going on.

His actions so far are absolutely horrible.


CITI IN THE SEWER: SHARES DOWN 30%

And to make this horror even more comical, Rosie O'Donnel is on TV saying how grateful she is that Obama is President because he has brought hope and dignity back to the United States and that we are once again a new nation. She is an actress.

Meanwhile, the administration of "change" is saying that approximately 50,000 troops will stay in Iraq indefinitely. Good for them. The Iraqi stock market is soaring upwards.

Contrived Economic Crisis For Obama Election Victory?

By who is the resulting question to, "Follow the money."

via Bizzy Blog from Right Bias. Two necessary reads.

A Contrived Crisis? - You Decide
Through a series of supposedly random but arguably deliberate chain of events, America is poised to jettison 220 years of a free market system called capitalism, in favor of the tried and failed system of socialism. This writer, and others, are now starting to question how we reached this point.

Last summer, as McCain and Obama were in the midst of their campaigns to capture the presidency, a series of events dramatically changed the focus of the campaign from Iraq to the economy. From that point on, Obama took the lead and eventually won the presidency.

As then President Bush and his administration started sounding alarms in earnest about Freddie and Fannie the Democrats, especially Barney Franks, pooh-poohed him and liberals asked, with furrowed brows, why the President was a racist who didn't want poor people in homes.

I think the whole thing was manufactured and is now being manipulated to Obama andthe Democrat's advantage.

Class Warfare Or Socialism Comes To America

I loved it when 'Republicans' said they wished this new President well and they hoped he succeeded. Huh?

Then there were those who asked, "What real harm can he do? He'll have to govern from the center. Besides, next election we'll get real conservatives back in office." Looking pretty stupid now, eh?

Obama and his handlers in and out of Congress are using the time tried carrot and stick, aka class warfare, to put in place their agenda of creating a European socialist structure here in America. Soft socialism. Socialism that cares. Socialism that isn't ugly or mean. Socialism that treats all the people equally.

What a crock of crap we have wrought right here in the land of the free and the brave?

Just a few examples:

Mortgage interest deductions will be limited for those making $250K and over.

Medicine costs will rise dramatically for those over that magical number of $250K, lowered for those under the magic number.

Current tax cuts will expire.

Tax increases for working families. Especially on those evil cretins called employers.

Oh, just to prove that they have heart, cigarette taxes will rise yet again by 62 cents on every pack, but those poor people who smoke will be made smart enough to shun cigarettes in the future through medical education and increased monies to the schools to preach the preachiness that good government and good health go hand in hand.

Pelosi, Obama, Reid, Soros. In just a few months, if all goes as planned, their hope is that government will really be seen as the only entity that is big enough to handle our problems. The deficit will/has skyrocketed while countries such as Communist China and Russia, aka Mini USSR, will announce that the US is too much a risk to continue to support our debt, thus stop.

The government bureaucracy will continue to pump out fiction-as-fact to support the continued work of our savior in DC. The administration will continue to turn on its head the phrase, "in for a penny, in for a pound" by accentuating the hardship we all face and stupid platitudes like, "We must not replace our curtains when our foundation needs fixed."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Obama is pledging budget cuts through waste, fraud and pay to the rich reductions. This warrior with his face into the wind and his eye of our safety and our future will sacrifice all to save us.

What a crock of crap.

This is simply a choreographed bureaucratic dance to consolidate power by welfaring over half of the voters who already do not pay taxes. Yes, over half the voters do not pay taxes. Now, those that work will subsidize those that do not, but now those non-tax payers have a partner in the federal and state governments and they will vote for Democrats. It really is a New Deal, again.

And it will be just as destructive to our core principles as the first New Deal because eventually those that are paying the taxes and the bills of our nation will arrive at that point where they say, "What the hell, I'll just get the freebies too."

Class warfare, liberal/socialist policies, same thing. Same result. Misery equally shared. Their vision of equality for all means quality for none.

DC Will Deliver Faithful Liberal Vote! (from the Keeler Report)
The DC Voting Bill did pass the Senate today with 62 votes. My vote count was just about right....except Utah's Robert Bennett switched to no and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Mississippi's Thad Cochran switched to yes. Why? I don't know. The yes folks also had George Voinovich on their side. That is very, very disappointing, Senator Voinovich.

They are knocking down one crisis after another of their own making. Good job on that whole hopey-changy thingy.

Government Crisis Solved!!

Nana Pelosi, always out to tell other people what they can and can't do, has solved our government crisis. No, not the government induced economic crisis currently being made worse by their Stimulus Plan. No, not the current crisis concerning our lack of resolve as madmen develop nuclear weapons in Asia and the Middle East. No, not the crisis of over regulation and taxation.

This one is really, really, really really, really important.

U.S. House of Representatives Passes Captive Primate Safety Act

Banks are relieved. Consumers are flocking back into the stores. Markets are trembling at the rapidity with which Pelosi, Obama, Reid have solved this national crisis. Last, but not least, Abedinejad and Korea's Mini Me are sighing themselves to sleep with relief because they finally see that the US finally has leaders who care.

As for Vitter helping Boxer push this waste of time in the Senate, I can only say, "Madam, I don't know."

Sprint & Customer Service, "Just Say No"

I have Sprint phone(s). In fact I have a number of them for my family and my extended family. Whenever I call Sprint with a problem or a change I am told, "no", we can't do that. Invariably I am informed that it is a "privacy issue" which is protecting me from myself.

Is Sprint a part of the Federal Government? They both want to protect me from myself and from unknown, but potentially dangerous situations that only they see.

Bureaucracy and lawyers. What an absolutely horrendous mix.

IRS Issues New Withholding Tables: $10 Extra Pay Per Week to Start April 1

This actually good. What's actually bad is that each taxpayer should sock it away so they can afford to pay the tens-of-thousands of dollars that each living person in America will have to pay for the Democrat's payola back to their supporters bill known as the Stimulus Plan.

Either that or they can buy 1/50th of a big screen TV. Too bad for the lady that believed Obama was going to pay her mortgage and put gas in her car. A tenner just isn't going to cover those things.

Obama To Stress Fiscal Responsibility

Modern architecture generally is made by and for the (st)architects whose vision seldom envisions real people interacting with the structures except for the interiors and even then that interaction is questionable.

The structures are for nesting rats on a ship that won't sink. .

Abandoned Soviet Gulag

Abandoned Prison: Like concentration camps in Europe, the gulags are unique to Russian history. Abandoned gulag buildings are the physical evidence of mass imprisonment, forced labor and tacitly approved extermination. Roosevelt observed that capitalism is unequally divided riches while socialism is equally divided poverty. Gulag prison life meant an equal distribution of death among the rich and poor, old and young.

Feinstein & Democrats; 'We Don't Need No Stinkin Secrets'

On all fronts the new administration and its colleagues in the Congress continue their Keystone Cop routine of bungling things before they even get started.

Now, Diane Feinstein decides what foreign policy and national security info gets out to the world. I think she's still peeved that the Obama didn't garner her wisdom on cabinet picks.

Feinstein's Blurt Leads to U.S. Confirmation That It Uses Pakistani Air Base
The Senate intelligence committee chairwoman claims to have learned from open sources that the U.S. was operating unmanned drones on a Pakistani air base, something the U.S. had denied -- until her blooper.

Feinstein's spokesman suggested at the time that her comment was merely a reference to a March 2008 report in The Washington Post that discussed the use of Pakistani bases as part of the Predator campaign. The article did not attribute the information to U.S. officials.

The Predator campaign, considered the single greatest factor in degrading Al Qaeda's capabilities, is credited with the killing of eight members of the terrorist group's leadership since last summer.

The acknowledgement that the Pakistanis not only are turning a blind eye to U.S. operations in their territory, but also are lending a hand by supplying a staging area could create political problems for the fragile government of President Asif Ali Zardari. The U.S. was permitted to use Shamsi to launch attacks on Al Qaeda in Afghanistan shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in the U.S.

Amb. Teresita Schaffer, director of the South Asia program at the Center for International Studies, said Feinstein's slip was definitely not intentional.

"Hell no," Schaffer told FOXNews.com. "I am quite sure that was not a subtle signal by the U.S. government. Senator Feinstein said what she said and I am quite confident the U.S. government did not want [it] to be acknowledged, both because of the usual concerns about operational security ... but secondly, and perhaps even more importantly, it's intensely politically embarrassing to the government of Pakistan."

Way to go Diane. Now, remind me, how did you get on the intelligence committee?

President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan thanks you with all his heart. He has to, since you can't wait to show that you know more than others, he may not have a head for long. You're a real benefit to our government and our security Diane and I personally want to thank you for belching secrets all over the place.

Racists & Cowards Always Charge Racism & Cowardice

In a month dedicated to being black, Eric Holder charged that we, as a nation, are cowards because we do not talk enough about our racial differences.

Holder: US is nation of cowards on racial matters
In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.

I grew tired of the talking years ago. First the talk was about how we are all the same and now the talk is about how we are all different. Of course all through this talkfest it has been about money and power.

Those doing the talking, actually self righteous lecturing, have made a lot of money and have gained a lot of power and those talking include both white and black as well as red, brown, yellow and every other group. Too much talk and not enough action.

When I was in high school I first heard the talk. I heard about integration. I heard about equal rights. A professor at the local private university held a public lecture pointing out the rotten soul of America because of racism. He didn't find it ironic as he described the separation of races in society, in education and work that the audience in the school chapel was a mixed race audience and that different races sat comfortably together because they worked together, went to school together and played sports and entertained together. That is because he felt he was talking the word to the heathen and it never occurred to him that the heathens ignored the talk and just walked the walk.

It was then that I realized that there are those that talk and then there are those who do.

Eric Holder has to keep yammering to keep the public's eye in another direction because if they looked directly at him and listened to what is really important, his actions, they'd know that Holder is a coward using racism to hide his past and to further his agenda.

As in all things American, the people do things in a far better fashion than the government. It is a far better world where people are people and an equal people. It is a far worse world in which revenge and racism has been codified and made the acceptable norm among those that feel the need to feed of the soul of our nation.

I wish they'd shut their damned mouth and leave all of us to live our lives together.

Swedish Banking First Step Of Nationalizing Into Socialism

And McCain and Graham Leading Republicans Who Agree With Obama

Bank nationalisation gains ground with Republicans
Long regarded in the US as a folly of Europeans, nationalisation is gaining rapid acceptance among Washington opinion-formers – and not just with Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman. Perhaps stranger still, many of those talking about nationalising banks are Republicans.

Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator for South Carolina, says that many of his colleagues, including John McCain, the defeated presidential candidate, agree with his view that nationalisation of some banks should be “on the table”.
...
“You should not get caught up on a word [nationalisation],” he told the Financial Times in an interview. “I would argue that we cannot be ideologically a little bit pregnant. It doesn’t matter what you call it, but we can’t keep on funding these zombie banks [without gaining public control]. That’s what the Japanese did.”

You cannot be ideologically a little bit socialist either. A government that accepts a little socialism, as our government already has, is more willing to accept more and more, arguing that we've always returned to capitalism in the past.

At what point will Congress decide that there is no reason to return to capitalism and retreat from socialism? We may be at that point.

Publishing The Names Of MurderersTo Save Lives

Applaud the Commercial Appeal, time to open all gun records

Everybody wants to save lives. Hopefully we can agree on that.

To that end, if the left, supporters of government as our savior, thinks, nee, applauds, publishing the names, addresses, etc., of people who own guns because it may save just one life, why don't we publish, say every Sunday morning, the names of those that have taken part in abortions?

If it works for the gun, logically, it should work for the scalpel or the vacuum or whatever device or drug abortionists and their accomplices may use.

Muzzammil Hassan Or Why Muslims Have Problems Fitting In

Via James Edwards

In head-to-head battles in the Muslim community, it appears that women lose every time.

Some history on the couple:
Muzzammil Hassan came to America from Pakistan 25 years ago. He became a successful banker in Buffalo, New York, near the famed Niagara Falls.

While he and his wife were happy to be in the United States, they were upset by the negative perceptions of Muslims, and particularly how this perception might affect their children.
That is how they came up with the idea of Bridges TV. Mr. Hassan’s wife challenged him to start it.

“I had no background in television. I didn’t know anything about TV. Her comment was, ‘you have an M.B.A. (masters degree in business) why don’t you write a business plan?’”
And so he did. He quit his job at the bank and for the next two to three years worked almost non-stop in developing an English language television network that offers news and entertainment for Muslims.

Mr. Hassan hopes Bridges TV lives up to its name by uniting American Muslims and by helping non-Muslims overcome the negative images they may have of both Muslims and Islam.

Current news on the couple:
Prominent Orchard Park man charged with beheading his wife

To many of my friends and peers that are Muslim or have married Muslims it seems to be a belief by degrees by the believer in Islamic tenets. While some will shake their heads and say this is wrong, there are others who will publicly speak against the practice, but privately agree.

That is why Muslims have perception problems in America. It is too scary for many to believe what they will do and it is also to scary to believe them as a community. The alleged murderer is not a poor Muslim living in a dusty village far from here, but a successful businessman with a MBA and a host of people who thought he was offering peace and understanding. He did not murder in the heat of the moment, but sawed his wife's head off because she wanted a divorce.

The more that people hear about this culture the less they ask how do you understand it, because they more times than not now ask, why even try.

How Much Did Specter, Collins & Snowe Charge For Their Yes Votes?

As I wrote before, Specter, Snowe & Collins: Republican Repercussions, it is now apparent that the three Republicans who voted for the power grab by government, known as the Stimulus Plan, had a price for their vote. They were bought.

Renegade Republicans Push Stimulus Over The Finish Line
President Obama owes the passage of his stimulus bill to three senators from the losing side, reports CBS News correspondent Kimerly Dozier.

Renegade Republicans – senators Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine – tipped the balance toward Mr. Obama's plan in a late night Senate vote on Friday, forwarding the package to the president's desk by a 60-38 margin. "I really believe that what I decided to do was right," Collins said.

She and Snowe used the political weight of their swing votes to wield influence far greater than their state's 1.3 million residents, Dozier reports.

I know what people are called that sell themselves, but do Specter, Collins and Snowe? They should give Eliot Spitzer a call. I hear he pays better.

Of course, I'm sure there is a section buried in the Stimulus bill to nationalize brothels and unionize pimping that will mandate a set price, but the OSHA regulations will be the most interesting.
