Headlines - 06/21/2009

Get Out The Vote - Obama has muted response concerning the recent Iranian presidential election and the speculation of election fraud. Okay, really... Obama not going to say much about voter fraud... hmmm. Do I need to elaborate? (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49557).... UPDATE, His Majesty Obama now credits his eloquent inspirational oratory given recently in Cairo, Egypt, as impetus for the Iranian people to rise up against an unjust election. You read that on Gore's internet, Barry? Please... what an arrogant ass.

Here's That Money I Owe You - Todd Stern, U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change, said China to get financial and technological aid from U.S. as part of climate change talks in Denmark. The U.S. is borrowing trillions of dollars to "spend our way out of debt" (which has never succeeded in the history of modern civilization), and to do this we borrow money from the Fed which sells the treasury bills to secure the debt. The majority of the debt is purchased by China. So we are essentially borrowing money from China, and now giving it back to them? We have officially shoved our collective head so far up our own @ss that we can now give ourselves a complete dental exam! (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49542)

Lethal Weapon - The Customs and Border Protection Agency is looking to expand the definition of switchblade knife to include most average folding pocket knives which will potentially make it illegal to carry a pocket knife. Next on the dangerous weapon hit list of the liberal intelligentsia: big rocks and pointy sticks to be outlawed. (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49527)

Thick As Thieves - Obama fires Gerald Walpin, the inspector general for the Corporation for National and Community Service, claiming he "no longer had the fullest confidence" in Mr. Walpin. Mr. Walpin had been an efficient auditor for the CNCS uncovering millions of dollars in fraudulent and inappropriate billing to the government agency. Too efficient, as he uncovered some $400k in bilked funds by Obama's buddy Kevin Johnson, Mayor of Sacramento, CA, and some $70k had to be paid back by the Mayor himself. Problem is, the law stipulates Mr. Walpin may not be fired for political reasons. Every time Barry steps in a poo pile, it somehow doesn't seem to stick to his shoe. We'll see how sticky this pile turns out to be. (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/15/walpin-gate/?feat=home_editorials)

Death & Taxes - Congressional Budget Office projects additional 1 trillion dollar deficit if the Kennedy proposed health care reforms are enacted. This excludes the "universal" coverage proposed by Obama. Iowa Senator Tom Harkins (D) explains that money can be raised to offset the deficit through taxes on unhealthy foods like "alcohol and tobacco and sugar and things like that". I'd like to take a second to point out that two of those three are already taxed to death. Maybe instead of spending this country into oblivion by taking over the health care industry, and in doing so destroying it, why don't we make it better by fixing what is broke in the current patient centered quality assurance system? Government takes over the mortgage industry... fiasco. Government takes over the banks... fiasco. Government takes over the auto industry... fiasco. Government takes over health care... you guessed it. (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/Content/Article.aspx?rsrcid=49658)

Hurry Up And Wait - Nationalized health results in extended waiting periods for people to get into hospitals for medical procedures. A million people waiting in the U.K., 900 thousand in Canada. Average E.R. wait time is 16 hours. Gee, that sounds wonderful, and much better than the current system . Thanks, Congress, hurry that right through so we can begin suffering right away!

"Hi, I'm Vince For Sham-healthcare" - ABC to air Obamacare infomercial on June 24. The network has refused to sell ads to alternative opinions. I bet we'll get an unbiased look at health care reform from this format. Well, why should health care be different from anything else that is hocked on an infomercial... it is overpriced, doesn't work, and in the end will cost you more than you paid in the first place. (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49720)

Busy Little Bee - "I said in this room last week that I've got to do health care, I've got to do energy, and then I'm looking very closely at doing immigration,” quoth Harry Reid, Senate majority leader. Assuming he gets to "do" all three, this country should be good and screwed for the next half century. Get crackin' Harry! (http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49711)
