Obama's secret plan to balance the budget

Those of us on the right have criticized the president for his using of the current financial situation to further his socialist ideology.

Sure, this whole mess began falling apart after the Democrats took over Congress back in 2006.

And the seeds were planted by Dodd, Frank, Clinton and the other Democrats when they pressured banks to make risky loans.

And George Soros is enjoying the crisis.

And, of course, the president is spending your and my money like a drunken sailor.

And no way to pay for it. Except raising our taxes.

Or so those of us on the right thought.

Turns out, though, that it seems that Obama has a large source of income for the treasury.

"What is it?" you ask.

Simple. He's going to have all his cabinet pay their taxes. We ought to be able to bail out all his cronies, pay for everything he's proposing, and still have a budget surplus.

Turns out Obama is a genius after all, huh?

Undo

You've done it.

I've done it.

We've all done it.

Sent an email that we wish we could immediately take back, I mean. For example, hit "Reply to all" instead of just "Reply." Or noticed a mistake ... a big one ... right after sending. Or forgetting an attachment.

Google has added an "Undo" button to their Gmail application:
My theory (which others shared) was that even just five seconds would be enough time to catch most of those regrettable emails.

And now you can do just that. Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new “Undo” link on every sent mail confirmation. Click “Undo,” and we’ll grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.


This feature can't pull back an email that's already gone; it just holds your message for five seconds so you have a chance to hit the panic button. And don't worry – if you close Gmail or your browser crashes in those few seconds, we'll still send your message.
Five seconds is a help. Might save me some embarrassment. Lord knows, I could use all the help I can get.

If only we could get an "Undo" button on the presidential election. I'm wondering how many people would hit it now?

And where else could we use an "Undo" button?

Teleconference

The president's news conference from last night isn't getting good press.



Notice the big monitor in the back of the room. That caught some reporters off guard.

But it made me wonder.

Suppose someone hit the remote, and Obama continued to read off the screen. Would it have made for a better news conference?

Or, a more honest one?

Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.

We rob banks.

What we got here is ... failure to communicate.

I'm the king of the world!

I've always depended on the kindness of strangers.

This is my life. It always will be. There's nothing else.



Just us and the cameras ...



...and those wonderful people out there in the dark.



All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up.

Just what we need: more people not changing their underwear

The Japanese are testing "stink-free" underwear on the space station. Reuters reports that Koichi Wakata is trying them out the "J-ware":

"He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Wakata's clothes, developed by researcher Yoshiko Taya, are designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. They also are flame-resistant and anti-static, not to mention comfortable and stylish.


Having served in the military, I understand first hand about being in situations where you can't change your clothes ... including socks and underwear ... on a regular basis. Even then, we washed certain areas (a "whore's bath"), even if we weren't able to change clothes. However, it was not by choice, but by circumstance. Such items would be great for those circumstances.

The thing about the Reuters report that really caught my eye? This:

The Japanese space agency plans to make the clothes available to NASA and its other space station partners once development is complete. A commercial line also is in the offing.


Read that last sentence again: "A commercial line also is in the offing."

You'll be able to buy this stuff at Sears. Or Wal-mart.

Think about that.

This scientific breakthrough will allow some folks to go a week or more without washing their ass.

Ain't technocracy great?

What's next? J-ware socks, so you don't have to wash your feet? J-ware undershirts so you don't have to wash or use deodorant? I shudder to think what else science has in store for us.

So, do we order "extra large" in order to demoralize the commies?

There's a company several miles down the road from here called Alatech. They're in Eufaula, Alabama. And they make condoms.

And they used to sell condoms to the U.S. government. To the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), to be precise.

But, according to McClatchy, that's about to end:

In a move expected to cost 300 American jobs, the government is switching to cheaper off-shore condoms, including some made in China.

The switch comes despite implied assurances over the years that the agency would continue to buy American whenever possible.

"Of course, we considered how many U.S. jobs would be affected by this move,” said a USAID official who spoke on the condition that he would not be named. But he said the reasons for the change included lower prices (2 cents versus more than 5 cents for U.S.-made condoms) and the fact that Congress dropped “buy American language” in a recent appropriations bill.


Which means that the U.S. is going to be buying rubbers from the Red Chinese.

And that makes sense, if you thing about it. I mean, what else would socialists (Obama and the "Democratic" party) screw capitalists (American companies) with but commie condoms?

At least they're using a rubber.

In the war of words between the socialist president who's the darling of the Hollywood elite and the socialist president who's the darling of the Hollywood elite, put your money on the socialist president who's the darling of the Hollywood elite

Venezuela's socialist president has some harsh words for America's socialist president.

Reuters reports that Hugo Chávez called Barack Obama an "ignoramus:"

"He goes and accuses me of exporting terrorism: the least I can say is that he's a poor ignoramus; he should read and study a little to understand reality," said Chavez, who heads a group of left-wing Latin American leaders opposed to the U.S. influence in the region.


It ought to be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Chávez is the darling of Hollywood. Obama is the darling of Hollywood.

In this little battle of words between the two leading socialist presidents on the American continents, who will get the support of Hollywood?

The answer is easy: it doesn't matter. Because Hollywood doesn't matter.

The dust-up between those two peas in a pod won't last long. They'll take their sights off each other soon enough.

Chávez has terrorism to export.

And Obama has basketball brackets to pick.

I remember when I ran the TiVo remote

This weekend has been a hugh role-reversal for us at the house.

The old stereotype about the guy hogging the remote? Well, pretty much the truth here at the house.

Now, truth be told, we have two TiVo remotes. The one that came with the TiVo, and a second one I bought for The Wife. Different color (lavender) so we could tell them apart.

Still, despite the fact that we both had a remote for the TiVo, I was usually the one that would hit the fast-forward through the commercials. Unless it was a Sonic commercial. I love the Sonic commercials.

Then, "Twilight" came out on DVD.

The Wife ordered it, gosh, like a month or two ago. I don't know when. Other than the day it came available for pre-order.

And, since Amazon ships the day a DVD comes out -- as opposed to, say, Apple, who delivers on the day an item comes out -- "Twilight" won't arrive at the house for several days. The Wife didn't spend anything extra on delivery.

However, to Amazon's credit, they did offer a free discount for a rental. That way, anyone to ordered "Twilight" could watch it the day it came out.

So, she sent me the code, and I punched it in on Amazon Video On Demand. And, sure enough, it showed up as available for download to the TiVo. So, we downloaded it.

After it downloaded, she pressed "play."

So, I got to watch her watch "Twilight" last night. Twice.

And, again today.

Every female she's related to came over ... not all at one time ... and they watched "Twilight."

I still haven't seen the movie. Oh, bits and pieces, to be sure. But, quite honestly, it's not the kind of movie I'd be interested in. I can't get into a movie where the hero looks like he needs a haircut and an ass-kicking.

The Wife, though, has really enjoyed watching "Twilight." And, she's run the remote. She's pressed "pause" when someone asked a question about which "good vampire" or "bad vampire" was which. Or why the girl looked paler than the vampires. And why was this scene in the movie when it wasn't in the book. And who was this guy. And so on.

She ran the remote, and seemed to enjoy it. It was a huge switch from the way things normally are.

She's really enjoyed "Twilight." So, I upgraded. We don't just have the rental (which has now expired), but we have the purchase on the TiVo. That is, it's permanently in our Amazon On Demand library. We can download it again any time we want, and don't have to pay again. She can watch "Twilight" on the TiVo any time she wants.

The DVD hasn't arrived yet. And, I'm sure she'll enjoy the "extras" that make up the second disc. But, to watch it? She doesn't need to put the DVD in the machine. Just find it on the TiVo menu, and press play.

She'll be running the remote.

And loving it.

Special

The president made a funny.

Only, some didn't find it so funny.

ABC News reported Obama's attempt at humor:

Towards the end of his approximately 40-minute appearance, the president talked about how he's gotten better at bowling and has been practicing in the White House bowling alley.

He bowled a 129, the president said.

"That's very good, Mr. President," Leno said sarcastically.

It's "like the Special Olympics or something," the president said.


The audience laughed. Because The One can do no wrong.

However, if a conservative ... say, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity ... had made such a comment, there'd be calls for his firing. And a calls for advertisers to boycott his radio show. And calls for ... well, you get the idea.

But, no, it wasn't an evil conservative. It was The Messiah that said that.

The lack of outcry makes me suspect that Special Olympics humor is now okay. You can't use monkey in a joke, but you can compare someone's actions to the Special Olympics. Got it? Good.

Still, I wouldn't compare the president's bowling to the Special Olympics.

Obama's performance as president? There's a possibility.

Who would win?

In a battle between Cal Lightman and Gregory House, who would win?

It'd be a good battle. Both know when others are lying. Both like to get reactions from others to throw them off their game. But that's when they're battling others.

But, head-to-head, in a fight, who would win?

I first thought Dr. Lightman, since Dr. House is crippled. He requires a cane to walk.

Then, I thought: a cane! House would just beat Lightman with the cane.

So, now I'm not sure.

Still be a good fight. And entertaining.

Hell Weekend becomes Hell Week

A rough weekend got rougher.

Got sick this weekend. Must have been something I ate. Sick Saturday, sicker Sunday, and began feeling better Monday.

Then the house fire.

Oh, not our house. But a family member who lives across the street.

The Wife's sister, her husband, and their two children came home yesterday afternoon to find their house filled with smoke and flames. The area fire departments (mostly volunteer) responded and saved the structure. That is, there appears to be no damage to the roof, and the fire was contained to the central area of the house.

There was extensive smoke and water damage. Not sure how much is salvageable. Their three inside cats weren't; they were found dead from the smoke. And all their clothes, furniture (the furniture that didn't burn, that is), and many other items will probably not be salvageable. Despite the fact they contained the fire to a relatively small area, smoke and heat were all throughout the house. Then the water damage from the fire departments' efforts to put out the fire.

I must commend the local fire departments as well as the sheriff's office for their quick response, care, and concern.

According to the investigators with the fire and sheriff's office, it looks like the fire began at the phone jack by the computer. Not the electrical outlet, which was several feet away, but at the phone jack.

Last night was recovering what could be: photos, baby books, family mementos... Then running to the store for clothes and basic necessities. And food; the fire came right before supper.

We'll see how the rest of the week goes.

Smooth Criminal

His Royal Weirdness, Michael Jackson, is touring again. My reaction to the news was, of course, whoop-de-frikkin-do. It's not often that Michael Jackson makes the news anymore. Unless, of course, he's paying off some kid's family so they don't talk about the buggering. Used to not be that way, though. Michael Jackson used to be news. He'd sell out concerts, sell millions of albums, perform or do backing vocals on a third of every record played on the radio, have major movie producers doing his videos ... That was a while back. Then I got to thinking. When did it all come crashing down for Michael Jackson? As I recall, it was in the early 1990s. When he was young, he was a popular Black singer. And rich. He was even able to out-bid Paul McCartney for the Beatles music catalog. Around the early 1990s, though, things went wrong. First, he seems to have turned White. And was accused of child molestation. And got hooked on drugs (mostly painkillers). And lost most of his money. Since then, he's been almost pitiful. But something was nagging at me. Then it hit me. There's a parallel with Barack Obama. Follow me on this. Obama was raised by his White mother (his Kenyan father having left) until he was 10, then by his White grandparents until he graduated high school. He went to Harvard, graduated, then moved to Chicago in the early 1990s. That's when he became Black. Around the time Michael Jackson turned White, Barack Obama turned Black. It seems the world only has room for one Black superstar at a time. I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying. Will Jacko's tour succeed? Probably not. Unless Obama turns White again.

Could It Be Magic?

There's a mall in New Zealand that's looking to drive off troublesome teens ... by playing Barry Manilow music.

A group of several dozen young people regularly spread rubbish, spray graffiti, get intoxicated, use drugs, swear and intimidate patrons at the outdoor mall, he said.

The city council, police and local property owners covering 410 businesses agree that "nice, easy listening" music like Manilow's "Can't Smile Without You," "Mandy" and other hits might change the behavior of loitering teens


If it works, I have another mission for Manilow:

They got their wish

Remember the recent presidential election?

Sure you do. It was in all the papers.

Anyway, there was talk about how bad the economy was, and that putting a Democrat in office -- even a raving socialist like Obama -- would bring back the Clinton economy. Remember that?

Well, guess what? It's happened.

The Dow closed this afternoon at 6725.02. It hasn't closed that low since April 21st, 1997, when it closed at 6660.21.

That's when Clinton was president.

At this rate, we'll soon be a prosperous as we were during the Roosevelt administration, where the Dow peaked at 194.40, on March 10, 1937.

Ah, the good old days.

Spatula Day

We don't get a lot of snow here. So, when it does snow, even a little bit, it's a big deal.

Yesterday was Snow Day.

Today? Spatula Day.

You see, because of the snow that was still on the car this morning, I had to do some snow removal. Not much, since we didn't get much compared to what folks up north get, but still, more than we're used to.

Anyway, the old credit card didn't do the job. Not to my satisfaction. The snow accumulated on the car was thicker than the card was wide, so my hands were cold.

So, into the house for a spatula. One of those wide ones that can be used on non-stick cookware.

Works great, too, for removing 4-6 inches of snow from a car windshield.

Ah, the spatula. We should have a National Spatula Day to honor this diverse little tool.

And a cookout.

How do those jobs that illegal immigrants do look now?

Illegal immigration is a controversial topic. Though it shouldn't be.

I'm in favor of immigration. Heck, my ancestors came to this country ... before it was a country. They were immigrants. Hundreds of years ago, to be sure, but immigrants, nonetheless.

Same for everyone who calls the U.S. home.

But, today? Yes, I'm all in favor of people immigrating to this country. In fact, there's an immigration process. Every civilized nation on earth has an immigration process.

It's illegal immigration that I don't like.

But so many on the left get their panties in a wad if anyone opposes illegal immigration.

They seem to forget that illegal immigration is ... well, illegal. But when did laws matter to them? Unless it's a law to ban guns. They want them laws followed.

Anyway, they say to let the illegals alone. They're doing jobs that Americans don't want.

I don't doubt it.

But, the L.A. Times reports that over 10% of Californians are out of work.

Unemployment in California shot up to its highest level in nearly 26 years in January, leaving more than 1 in 10 workers without a job.

Figures released Friday show that 79,300 jobs were lost in the state last month, bringing the total number of unemployed to 1,863,000, or 10.1% of the workforce. That's the highest since the rate touched 10.4% in 1983.


I've been out of work. But, I didn't sit on my ass. I found work.

I worked temporary construction jobs. I've worked at temp agencies. I've stood in line at the Department of Labor, filling out forms and getting lists of jobs.

I was turned down for some jobs because I was "over-qualified," which means they figured I'd have worked until I found a better job.

Bottom line is, I didn't sit on my ass; I went to work. And I found work.

There's work in California. It might not be pleasant work, but work seldom is.

And, the work might be currently done by an illegal alien.

Let it snow

We don't get much snow.

I don't, anyway. That is, I'm not used to it. I'm from south Georgia, and I'm not used to snow.

But, it snowed this morning.

I got up early, and tried not to make too much noise as I turned on the TiVo.

Later in the morning, I heard a noise come from the bedroom. Then, footsteps.

The door flew open, and out came running ... The Wife.

I thought something was wrong, at first. Then, I noticed the look on her face.

She threw open the door and gazed at the snow falling.

It took her a minute to realize she had on just her nightgown. I noticed right off. Perhaps it was the cold.

I grabbed my Blackberry and snapped a shot of the snow falling on the car.

She threw on some clothes and grabbed her Sony camera, taking several pictures of the falling snow.

And the animals. Not just her ducks and goats, the wild birds, too.

Of course, she made some phone calls. She gets excited about snow.

I've pulled guard duty in knee-deep snow on a mountainside in Korea. I'm not a big fan of snow.

But, we're lucky here. When we get some snow, it's not a lot; just enough to cause children's eyes to widen.

And it doesn't stay long. That's the best part.
