Audi's Super Bowl Ad:

I'll wager a percentile of my readers despised Audi's Super Bowl advertisement.

I submit: in truth, you should love it.

Why?

Because it mocked the Religious Left scathingly. And it did so in the open, clearly, publicly.



I'm sure many of you were thinking: this hits a little too close to my future home. And you'd be correct. There are those on the Religious Left who believe these things should happen to Americans right now.

On the other hand, the bulk of America understands: the premise is simply "out there." But it does draw attention; and it may in fact sell Audi cars.

Audi has gotten my respect. They smacked the Religious Left upside the head and smiled whilst doing so. Better yet, the bulk of the RL are too doltish to realize this.

Finally, the CARB (Fornicalia Air Resources Board) has done its level best to ensure that the thriftiest cars, diesels, don't propagate in this state. Zounds! Diesel! Diesel Bad!

Except that everything you touch, move, consume, drive, want, need, has been moved by diesel-powered conveyances: diesel-driven SHIPS, diesel-electric LOCOMOTIVES, diesel truck TRACTORS.

You ignorant Leftist dupes.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE "GLOBAL WARMING" RANCH:

"Global Warming" is predicated upon nothing but lies. You will not read the truth in American media. As a matter of fact you won't read anything about this in American media. You'd have to visit the rather liberal Guardian UK news sites in order to suss anything resembling a balanced view.

For example, from Guardian.co.UK:

No apology from IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri for glacier fallacy
Head of UN climate change body 'not at fault' for false claim Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035
• Climate emails between scientists reveal flaws in peer review
• Controversy behind climate science's 'hockey stick' graph

Lies, lies and more lies.

Propagated by the Religious Left.

S.O.S. Clinton Is Correct

She says:

While one of the White House's top national security advisers criticized lawmakers for politicizing national security threats, including the Christmas Day attack over Detroit, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said even a nuclear-armed North Korea or Iran isn't as great a threat to the U.S. as al Qaeda and allied jihad groups.

"The biggest nightmare that any of us have is that one of these terrorist member organizations within this syndicate of terror will get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction," she said in a Sunday appearance on CNN. "So that's really the most threatening prospect we see."

Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair told Congress earlier this month he was "certain" there will be an attempted terrorist attack on the United States within the next six months.

I would have to concur. We're in perfect shape for it -- or, I should say, perfect disarray. A 9/11-like attack would set this nation back years, with this current administration in charge.

Furthermore:

Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula number two Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri called for attacks against US interests "everywhere," in an audio message released Monday.

"American and Crusader interests are everywhere and their agents are moving everywhere," Shahri said. "Attack them and eliminate as many enemies as you can."

This current administration is no more equipped to handle an event similar to 9/11 than it is to handle its own budget.

Stand by, people. The world sees our weakness.

Super Bowl 44 Champs: Saints Do It, 31 to 17!

Their first ever Super Bowl win.

Congratulations to the Saints. It was a hard-fought game, good back-and-forth but, again, the best team won. And the Saints deserved to win.

An Important Word To You From Your President:

US Census: Money To Illegals

The US Census Director, Robert Groves, told a group of illegal immigrants in a "colonia" (a collection of illegals) on February 2nd, regarding the need for these persons to participate in the census (and their "concern" that if they did, they'd be deported):

Groves recently toured hard-hit communities to try to ease those concerns, telling residents that participating in the census could lead to better communities with paved roads, more electricity and improved schools. An estimated $400 billion will be dispersed around the country based on census results.

"The benefits of participating in the census are quite large," said Groves. "If you get counted, you get your fair share of that money."

Their "fair share of that money."

That's the money you and I, as taxpayers, send to the federal government to ensure that it comes back and benefits violators of our national laws.

Fifty per-cent of Americans pay roughly 98% of the taxes. You and I are being fleeced once more.

I find this outrageous.

Ladies and gentlemen, when do we say "enough is enough"?

Obama: Killing Business

It's tough to be the president right now. Mr Obama says so: "These are tough times to hold public office."

Poor Mr Obama. How sad.

Senior Arkansas Demorat Senator, Blanche Lincoln, herself under the gun, aimed comments squarely at the Leftist and "Progressive" portion of the Demorats on Wednesday. From The Hill:

Centrist Sen. Blanche Lincoln (Ark.) on Wednesday asked arguably the most contentious question during a discussion between Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama, hitting at conservatives and liberals.

Lincoln, who faces a tough reelection fight, asked Obama to push back against "people at the extremes" of both parties, especially against Democrats "who want extremes."

She also took a swipe at Obama's White House, referencing a constituent who "fears that there's no one in your administration that understands what it means to go to work on Monday and make a payroll on Friday."

Lincoln faces a steep reelection bid in 2010. She trails the likely Republican nominee, Rep. John Boozman, by 23 points and has only a 27 percent approval rating in a recent poll.

What a shock to the system! A Demorat who actually asked a pointed question of Mr Obama. One, you'll note, he never really answered. And a question not asked by our national media.

Some Demorats are actually starting to hold Our Hero at arms' length.

Because he really is that unhinged. And the advisors to whom he is listening: Emanual. Axelrod. Ayers. Alinsky. His very own personal A-Team.

We all wondered: what Obama will we see for his first SOTU? Contrite Obama? Understanding Obama? No; not at all. Instead we heard Strident Obama! Not Wavering Obama! Not Listening Obama!

William Jefferson Clinton was the penultimate politician. I remember hearing and reading, back in The Day, that Mr Clinton had the remarkable ability to suck all the oxygen out of a room he was working. That he had the ability to speak to you and make you think you were the only person he cared about, in a room filled with other people. And Clinton changed; he read the writing and changed tack. Mr Obama is no Mr Clinton. Not at all.

Back to the topic at hand: Mr Obama has no one on his staff who has ever had to meet a payroll, much less himself. He has little if any concept of business; business is something that one squeezes because it is Inherently Evil. If it makes Profit, that Profit is Evil.

In the meantime, the debt ceiling will be hit in but a few days:

WASHINGTON — The US debt is on track to hit a congressionally proposed debt ceiling of 14.3 trillion dollars by the end of February, the Treasury said Wednesday, a day ahead of a key vote to raise it to that level.

"Based on current projections, Treasury expects to reach the debt ceiling as early as the end of February. However, the government's cash flows are volatile, making it difficult to forecast a precise date," the Treasury said in a statement.

The current limit on the public debt of the United States is 12.374 trillion dollars.

The US debt exceeded 12.349 trillion dollars on Monday, according to Treasury data.

Furthermore, there are black clouds developing around the United States' credit rating:

Moody’s Investors Service fired off a warning on Wednesday that the triple A sovereign credit rating of the US would come under pressure unless economic growth was more robust than expected or tougher actions were taken to tackle the country’s budget deficit.

In a move that follows intensifying concern among investors over the US deficit, Moody’s said the country faced a trajectory of debt growth that was “clearly continuously upward”.

What will change the economy? Some simple things: businesses having the confidence to expand and build, banks willing to make loans. Some tax breaks. Some relaxation of regulations.

But no. You can throw that out.

Strident Obama says so. And oh, by the way, those in public office have things so difficult now.

Like you don't?

Obama's Budget:

. . . is packed with staggering ignorance.

Is Mr Obama listening to any actual economists?

Here's what he didn't tell you: *taxes will raise by $2 trillion dollars in the next ten years.*

And he's "saving" some $300 billion dollars -- ? That's a veritable drop in the bucket. The federal government spends $300 billion on Kleenex tissues for employees.

His so-called "spending freeze" would save roughly 1%. It isn't remotely enough.

In the meantime, he's also expanded the federal employee workforce to 2.15 million. That excludes postal service workers.

The entire federal budget is predicated upon a lie that Mr Obama and his handlers have instigated from the start. They have prepared the American Public, smoothed us, soothed us, used dulcet tones, applied mesmerization techniques -- in order to acquire the electorate's "buy-off" on It's The Previous Administration for ________ (fill in the blank).

That will always be the excuse. Already, after the first year, it's running threadbare.

Continued federal spending is insanity. Plain and simple.

Shoes

I purchased a new pair of shoes this past weekend, at Sports Authority in Fornicalia.

An attachment to my shoes read:

- Hold children's hand & supervise children at all times

This was for a pair of SHOES. Some lined Crocs.

Hello? SHOES!

Asking The Tough Questions: Haiti & Elsewhere

I may have to apologize in advance for the following. I suspect a few of my readers will be surprised with this post but, in my opinion, this country is "past due" asking the following questions with regard to our fiscal largesse.

I'll address these questions here and now. Likely you'll not read of them anywhere else. And you'll probably not care for my answers.

What begged my mental tickler file on this? Easy: Haiti.

My first question:

1. Does the US Know How To Offer Aid?

A: I submit it does not. I submit it would rather just have recipients receive the checks or shipments and then satisfy our emotional fantasies. They should be gracious and then shut up.

2. Does the US Expect That "Well Intentioned Aid" Will Reach Its Targets?

A: Of course. The US, as insulated as it is, has little if any true idea of the current detailed political heavings involved in the individual square meter(s) where aid may be dropped or proffered.

3. A Little History?

A: Developed countries have spent, historically, the equivalent of trillions of dollars on developing nations.

4: AND WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT?

A: Very little if anything.

5. What About China? They've Received Almost NO Aid From Western Countries!

A: Yet, despite this, China has seen massive improvement and is now an industrial, business and manufacturing powerhouse.

6. So: What Won't We Address?

A: Culture. Plain and simple.

7. What Are You Intimating, BZ?

A: I'm saying, not intimating this: some cultures are Winners, and some cultures are Losers.

8. The Bottom Line?

A: Some cultures are more progress-resistant than others. Some cultures will never come around. Some cultures -- and some nation-states -- have little if any work ethic, progress viewpoint, history of success, embracement of values, morals, discrimination, judgment.

9. Then Some Cultures Don't Deserve Help and Must Rise Or Fall On Their Own?

A: In my opinion, yes. And that would include Haiti.

10. Doesn't That Relegate Some Nations To Corruption And Despair?

A: In another word, yes. One person, one nation, one philosophy, cannot be all things to all people. Before there can be change, there must be a fundamental desire to change. Alcoholics, junkies and equines all know a common axiom: "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

Change will come to only those who wish it. And deserve it.

11. In The Meantime: I'm Keeping My Dollars At Home.

A: Judgmental? Yes. Pragmatic? Always. You want to fly to Haiti and personally help? Wonderful. You want to donate your own cash to various organizations? Be my guest. Just keep my federal tax dollars out of it. I am simply tired of spending billions with no resultant progress.

12. How Can You Be This Indifferent And Even Hateful?

A: We refuse to see the light. We refuse to see that, with some cultures, they can't change. What accounts for the difference between Haiti and the DR? I'm just tired. I'm done. Our US cash is finite. Taxpayers' pockets, my pockets, have bottoms. My patience has an end. I pay for the world. And the world still doesn't understand, nor do Americans, that if the United States crashes then the rest of the entire planet is in jeopardy. There is NO OTHER NATION to come to the assistance at any given point on the rest of the globe. And listen up, America: THERE IS NO OTHER NATION THAT WILL COME TO OUR AID in our time of peril.

There are big things in store for the US, nasty things waiting in the wings. They're not pretty, they won't be pleasant, and they'll affect the entire world. In comparison, I'm not much worried about Haiti.
