One of however many I feel like driving my BP up with tonight…
Obama’s Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack: “Well, obviously, it’s putting people to work. Which is why we’re going to have some interesting things in the course of the forum this morning. Later this morning, we’re going have a press conference with Secretary Mavis and Secretary Chu to announce something that’s never happened in this country — something that we think is exciting in terms of job growth. I should point out, when you talk about the SNAP program or the food stamp program, you have to recognize that it’s also an economic stimulus. Every dollar of SNAP benefits generates $1.84 in the economy in terms of economic activity. If people are able to buy a little more in the grocery store, someone has to stock it, package it, shelve it, process it, ship it. All of those are jobs. It’s the most direct stimulus you can get in the economy during these tough times.”
Well, I guess he has the answer: Put more people out of work so they can go on Food Stamp and we’ll have a remarkable economic recovery. I’m in utter awe of his intellect!!! NOT…
And by now everybody has heard of the $1M bus for the Prez…
Except that one is none, so you know damn well they bought TWO (oh wait a minute, there are actually TWO buses in the caravan), make that FOUR buses!!!
And Marine One plus back-up are within a specific ‘range’ of the Prez at all times, and Air Force One plus at least one C-17 is sitting somewhere close, plus the advanced parties for each location (each team is 10 plus personnel), and, and, etc…
In other words, this little “poor man’s bus tour” is probably costing we the people about $10M… Bus video HERE
AND the Prez basically said the Republicans are ‘treasonous’ today, because they are ‘holding the US hostage, by playing politics’…
Say WHAT??? Aren’t the Democrats doing EXACTLY the same thing???
Sigh…
And now one to piss y’all off 🙂 Link HERE
I don’t understand, ‘5 years of supervised release’ for Mexican nationals (illegals)
Will it be here?… live on US teat for another 5 years for probation after release?…. or Mexico after deportation? (yea, that’s gonna work)
Luis Angel Cruz–Jimenez, 25, a Mexican national, was sentenced today to 37 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Cruz–Jimenez will also be required to serve three years of supervised release. He pled guilty on May 3.
Sentenced on July 8 on related drug charges were Mexican nationals
Julio Jimenez–Morales, 30, to 108 months in prison, and Jose Penaloza–Paramo, 30, to 240 months in prison. Both men will be required to serve five years of supervised release following their prison term. Jimenez–Morales was ordered to forfeit $10,000; Penaloza-Paramo, $39,000.
Collado–Rojas was sentenced on July 18 to 151 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release.
Vega–Corona will be required to serve three years of supervised release after his prison term.
And now that your BP is up about at level of mine, a great little three minute film that gives us hope…

Remember, tomorrow is hump day, so stay away from male dogs… 🙂
The bus tour isn’t a campaign per Obama, so the taxpayers are footing the bill. If it was a campaign tour, he’d have to pay for all of it out of campaign funds. I wonder how long he can ride that horse?
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Sigh… Where did my America go? I remember it being around here not long ago. Have any of you seen it? Reward if found…
Thanks for the unicorn – I needed it!
‘Scuse me. I need another beer. I’m still way too coherent. And more duct tape to keep my head from exploding. Yes, definitely need more duct tape.
DaddyBear, I scared my dog laughing at your comment. 🙂 I needed that.
If people had jobs they could buy groceries without using food stamps. That would generate the same economic stimulus without draining the treasury.
But I guess that’s too simple…
It’s easy. Get more people dependent on the government. More dependents = more power for the government.
Why hasen’t this porch n**gr been impeached?
Are the Rinos that afraid?
In 2000, when they were counting the hanging chads and missing votes, the DNC went to court to disavow the overseas military vote–claiming it came in too late.
When I saw that on the TV, I went up to the attic and took my little veteran’s shoebox that had my discharge papers, medals and commendations, stripes, patches, etc.
Since it was winter time, I took it onto the back deck, started a fire in my large smoker’s firepit, and tossed it all in.
DD214 and all.
Now, almost eleven years later, seeing some of this stuff like with the wetback criminals, Obama and his “bus tour” and other such garbage, I regret my actions of 2000.
I wish I’d saved a few pieces of my memorabilia from time spent in the military so that I could set fire to it today.
More and more, I find my self regretting that I ever climbed into a pair of combat boots and put up with what I did only to see how things have turned out.
I encourage no young person today to sign up for the service, especially not under this commander-in-fraud and bunch of Congressional weasels and state run brothels like New York, California and Illinois–three huge states with majority electoral votes who are all BROKE because of their socialist views and programs.
Why in the f-bomb would anyone in their right mind want to put on a uniform and step into harm’s way to defend THAT?
If the climate doesn’t change in 2012, I predict violence will become more prevalant. These minority flash mobs we’re seeing more of, along with the rioters?
Dead at the hands of a mobs twenty times their size made up of fed-up citizens.
Career criminals who laugh at the system when they get paroled early?
Someone will either snipe them upon release, or bomb their house.
Pedophiles and rapists?
Dead–they’ll be found hanging from trees with signs around their necks.
Armed robbers?
Shot to death by their would-be victims.
And if/when the government prosecutors try to arrest/indict/try the victims of these incidents?
All bloody hell will start breaking loose.
If we do not get the socialists out of our national, state and local governments, it’s going to get bad.
–AOA
Since I watched that last link to the unicorn first, I’m not gonna click on the other links. I need a good day.
Unicorn lowered my BP. Thanks. The rest? So much of it going on it is almost becoming background static.
i loved the featurette. not going to read the rest…having a good day.
LL- Yep… sigh…
DB- Agreed!
Murph- I left in the wake of PCism…
Suz- You’re welcome
PH- Yep… sigh
Snigs- That takes some doing 🙂
Tim- I know 🙁
45- yep, their final goal!
Skip- I dunno…
AOA- Yep, funny thing, how NONE of those ‘riots’ are happening where people carry… I think you are dead on.

WSF- Yep…
Laura- Good idea!
Sigh…thanks for the unicorn anyway.
Q
This makes you scream WTF
Well yes you’ve successfully raised my bloodpressure, but I’m really not surprised by Tom Vilsack’s comments. He is and has always been a shill for corporate AG and megafarming. Groceries have steadily but stealthily been rising in price this past year by considerable amounts. People are cutting back on purchasing groceries to save money. So of course he wants to give tax money back to the businesses that got him where he is while wrapping it in a nice little progressive jobs creation blanket of warm fuzziness. Next expect him to talk about pushing ethanol as a jobs creator.
Quiz- You’re welcome!
WSF- yep!
Chris- I didn’t know that, but it DOES make sense 🙁
I still say all they have to do is raise the minimum wage to $100/hr.
No poverty. No hunger. No crime.
The world would be perfect.
GB- True, except that no one could afford anything…. sigh
And in Decorah, IA, one of Obama’s secret service guys got arrested for drunk driving. jeez.
You forgot to mention that obummer’s bus(s) (Prevost) were bought from Quebec Canada at 1.1 million each. Prevost says they are a VIP model used by famous rock bands. Buy American eh…
Anon- Yep, sigh…
Orfan- I know, but we ran all THOSE companies out of business…
LETS HEARR IT FOR ROSCOVANUL!
Oh yeah..it’s ROSSYWAR with OSIRIS!
