Eat your own damn peas, Part II

Posted on July 29, 2011 | Comments Off on Eat your own damn peas, Part II

Obamalot seems to really enjoy frightening seniors by threatening to withhold Social Security checks. They did it again Monday night, asserting that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, why, those checks might not go out. Which is a lie.

The government is legally obligated to send out the checks and there’s no financial reason they can’t do it:

“In fact, according to the most recent Trustees Report to Congress, Social Security ran a $68.6 billion surplus during 2010. The trust funds’ holdings went up accordingly. Thus the Social Security trust funds held more assets at the end of 2010 than at the beginning.”

So, hey, Obamalot. Stop lying. And eat your own damn peas.

Can’t get enough of this gal? Me neither. Fortunately, that’s what Rule 5’s for.

The Left’s first rule

Posted on July 24, 2011 | Comments Off on The Left’s first rule

The rule, “Government failure always justifies more government,” certainly is counter-intuitive. But, when government fails to do its regulatory job, or to do it properly, the Left’s solution is always more government regulation.

For instance….

The second, third and fourth rules (as I see them) are lessons in how to kill an economy, which Lefty Obamalot has been diligently practicing since 2009: big tax spending programs, tax hikes for “the rich” who invest in business, and more, expensive regulations for those businesses.

Workin’ great so far. Unemployment has topped 9 percent. Officially. Probably higher. Why would they want to do this? To justify more government.

Enjoy the weather, it’s the only weather you’ve got

Posted on July 23, 2011 | Comments Off on Enjoy the weather, it’s the only weather you’ve got

Somehow, in all my other distractions, I managed to miss Joe Bastardi’s February departure from Accuweather. Part of it was letting my Pro subscription lapse last summer when I had to get a new credit card and forgot to update my account. When they finally got around to asking for the update, I decided to let it go.

Bastardi was fun to read (and to listen to his brief video forecasts) but his focus wandered and I could have a hard time understanding him. I also got a little tired (despite agreeing with him) of his anti-AGW rants. But I always figured I could resume my sub if I got to missing him.

Then I got busy with the three (yes!) books I’m writing, and my spring trip to Israel. Only noticed the other day that old JB had gone missing because I always liked to hear his latest hurricane forecast and we’re coming up on the active part of that season right now.

Well, turns out he’s the new chief meteor of a start-up called Weatherbell, frequently appears on Fox, does guest shots on WUWT, and still Tweets (though how he can compress his natural verbosity into a Tweet is beyond me). My only question is does he still end his forecasts with the famous (and funny) line that’s the title of this post? Or does Accuweather claim to own it? I may have to subscribe to his new gig to find out.

The UN: Reichlet on American soil

Posted on July 21, 2011 | Comments Off on The UN: Reichlet on American soil

Bush Jr.’s hat-in-hand petitioning of the Dictator’s Club to sanction America’s Iraq campaign was bad enough, but it’s become the centerpiece of Obamalot’s appeasement of Muslim dictatorships. So this idea is way overdue:

“Let’s relocate the UN to, say, happy go lucky Saudi Arabia or that island paradise of Cuba. I’m sure the UN delegates—a charming multicultural coalition of petrified Communists, IslamoNazis and murderous Third World thugs—will be thrilled to be on home ground in contrast to the, y’know, Zionist Occupied Jew York.”

And while you’re reading the rest, don’t miss the cool explanatory video.

Seven million hits

Posted on July 15, 2011 | Comments Off on Seven million hits

Not me, alas, still parked at not quite 230,000 after five years. No, the seven million mark goes to the inventor of Rule 5, Stacy McCain. He’s a lot more consistently political than this here blog, but he deserves his seven million visits for the invention of Rule 5, alone.
