Election 2010 Special Part 3: The Aftermath

Okay, kids. Party's over and now the lights are on. There are empty beer bottles on the tables, someone is asleep in the corner, and I think someone peed in the ficus tree's pot.

I really thought that I'd be more elated after the election. I mean, I'm ecstatic that we took back the House, but the victory has some casualties. I kinda feel like Tom Hanks at the end of Saving Private Ryan. Sure, we won, but we lost some good people along the way and the war ain't over yet. Plus, some of their big generals got away.

Huh? What are you babbling about, Steve? Happy Days Are Here Again!

Well, yes & no.Alan Grayson's gone. Charlie Crist was beaten like a dog. Nancy Pelosi still gets to speak for her Leftist Liberal Constituency, but no longer speaks for the House. That's a big bowl of sugar-sprinkled Awesome Sauce.

But.....

Locally here in my gerrymandered District 6 in South Carolina, Jim Pratt was unable to oust Jim "That's Racist!" Clyburn from office, leaving me still behind enemy lines in The Occupied Zone.


That arrogant bastard Harry Reid took enough union money to win his race. Hey, Nevada, how's that status as Highest Unemployment In The Nation treating you?


Barbara "Senator Bitch" Boxer won her race. California remains doomed. See below.



In the People's Republic of Massachusetts, Smarmy Socialist Scumbag Bawney Fwank keeps his seat. But he'll lose his chairmanship of the Financial Services Committee, thankfully.


Little Miss Write In, She Who Refused To Take The Hint That Voters Didn't Want Her, Lisa Murkowski, thinks it's her seat by birthright and just might take it by brute force, the RINO scumbag that she is. Take a cue from your Liberal bedmates, eh?

It's Alaska's seat, not yours, and they already said they didn't want you. How many dead people wrote you in?

And in my former home state of Maine, Conservatives are outnumbered by Leftist, Liberal, Tofu-Munching, Granola-Crunching, Socialist Hippy Bastards by about 5 to 1, in a state of just over a million people. On paper, both Senators are ostensibly Republicans. However the truth of it is that Sibilant Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are so frikkin' RINO they should have horns. They just barely elected a Republican Governor so there may be some hope, but all I've heard from people so far is bitch bitch bitch about the Governor-elect. And both Congressional districts stayed with their Leftist masters. Up in District 2, Jason Levesque came up short, and in District 1 my high school classmate Dean Scontras ran a clean, honest campaign butwas unable to overcome millionaire elitist Chellie Pingree, whose boyfriend's private jet has been ferrying Barney Frank around as of late. (Bwah! I said "ferry" and "Barney Frank" in the same sentence!) Said boyfriend, Donald Sussman, founder and chairman of Paloma Partners, a billion dollar hedge fund flies Pingree around, despite her on-record attacks against Congress members who charter & fly private planes, and also flew Uncle Barney to the Virgin Islands. Nice.

Way to go, Maine. You will continue to be a rustic backwater thanks to these 4 clowns.

The state of Maine hemorrhages jobs and its young people....kids graduate and then run like hell. The shoe industry left Maine. The fishing and lobstering industries are hit & miss. The poultry industry left years ago. Tourism is spotty because who the hell has money(besides Obama) to go vacationing in Maine? There's forestry, but you can only harvest so many trees whilst waiting for new ones to grow. And they continue to stay in the Dark Ages kvetching about evil Tea Party people when it was New Englanders who BUILT this country out of the original Tea Party in Boston.

And back to Kellyfawnya...

California will just fall off the face of the nation into the ocean under the crushing weight of illegal aliens, their own debt, and their own stupidity. Governor Jerry Brown? Jesus, didn't you people learn the last time? He came along & dicked up all the good that Reagan did as Governor, and after a few years you brought in Gray Davis, so inept he was recalled, and then you got the Austrian RINO, who crawled in Davis' hole and scooped the dirt in over himself...and you brought back Governor Moonbeam. Way to go. You passed up the lady who built eBay from the ground up and could have rebuilt your state and passed it over to the guy who just last week said he had no plan to fix the state and lied when he said he did.



But we have Bachmann and Rubio and DeMint and Boehner and we took Obama's former seat...Huge gains were made by Republicans winning as Governor in Democrat strongholds so districts that had been gerrymandered to vote Left can be more properly aligned to vote fairly. So there is hope. REAL hope, not that hopey-changey crap-flavored Kool Aid. How much damage will these cretins do in the next 60-days in the Lame Duck Session before we can start to get things fixed?

I can see 2012 from my house.

Palmetto Pelosi Protest

Hey, who's that guy in the blue shirt and loud shorts on the right? Top pic is from the newspaper's website, and I even got on TV....


Well kids, I finally popped my protest cherry. Many of you out there are long-time veterans of protests and tea parties and Glenn Beck events but I hadn't been able to attend anything up until now. Sometimes living 50 miles from the city, way out in Clyburn Country, is a detriment to my political activities. Often anything held during the week, like the Tax Day protests, occurs smack dab in the middle of my work day. Or, since my hours moved to starting at 4AM (which has me getting up at 2:30AM) the events would start several hours after I got off work, leaving me with the options of finding somewhere to nap in my car or getting home so late that I'd have to just walk in & go to bed, or going home, coming back, and then driving home again after the event, burning much gas in the process.

Well, yesterday provided me finally with a golden opportunity. My wife worked an overnight on Friday & would be asleep all day, and the group of fellow patriots would be meeting in downtown Charleston at 1130 AM. I could scoot down, do the event, and make it back before she even missed me. So I got up earlier than I wanted to, washed the mobile unit (she'd been looking sorely neglected...hard to see the blue through the dirt) and rolled out.

Her Unholiness, Madam Speaker Comrade Pelosi, was in town to beg money from a couple of groups. Her first stop was some restaurant I'd previously never heard of called Fish, nestled next to an art gallery on the very tony upper King Street block. Nope, no Denny's for her. Her later event was to kowtow and grovel at the feet of the NAACP, co-headlining with none other than Shirley "Am I Fired Or Not?" Sherrod. Turns out the park we were scheduled to meet at was the site of a Green Fair this weekend, so we looked a skosh conspicuous with FIRE PELOSI signs amidst booths full of vegan tofu wraps, hemp sacks passing for shirts, eco-friendly this and sustainable that, and lotsa good old fashioned capitalism geared towards Marxists. How ironic.
Getting set to march down the block. Such a menacing bunch we were...


We walked on over the the appointed place at the appointed time and peacefully & rather quietly held signs aloft in the roasting noon sun. We weren't hurling hate speech or throwing rocks or harassing passers-by & shoppers. If you get that many Liberals together in one place at the same time, they'd have looted 3 shops & set a car on fire in the first 6 minutes. We received hundreds of waves and toots of car horns from people agreeing with us. Some old dude crossed the street to ask us what we were doing, said he was a Democrat, crossed the street again, and proceeded to flip us off from safety. That's okay, Gramps...you're number one with us too.

Several very bored and disinterested Charleston city cops milled about nearby, I guess waiting for us to start tossing Molotovs and rampaging about. The simpering owner of the art gallery, rather than ask any of us, instead skulked across the street to complain to the local constabulary and have them come over & ask us to not stand in front of his shop. I guess we might have been keeping his tens of customers at bay.... Dude, in this economy who's realistically coming in to buy your overpriced representations of quaint antebellum Chucktown and impressionistic LSD-fueled hallucinations on canvas?

Every so often we'd put together a few chants of "Hey Hey Ho Ho , Pelosi & Reid & Obama must go" but we're not really the chanting types. Instead what could generally be heard was the insults being yelled by the sole, single counter-protester across the street. Yeah, all the Left could muster for Pelosi was one guy, later identified by the newspaper as a Daniel James, standing in front of a shop with "Closed for Business" on the windows, holding a scribbled cardboard sign in a mop handle that said "She is smarter than all of you----God" and busily texting on his iPhone telling all his Liberal buttbuddies to look for him on the news.


Seriously? I mean, seriously? Hey, you in the flip flops....she said we had to pass a bill to find out what was in it. She called illegal aliens patriots. She said her favorite word is the word. She thinks the fastest way to make jobs is by issuing unemployment checks. And she's smarter than all of us?

Rather than face us, Nancy was hustled in the back door. I guess there weren't enough TV cameras about for her to wave us off with her Speaker's gavel like a cudgel. Enjoy it now, Pelosi....you'll be FORMER Speaker soon enough.

And hey, City of Charleston....thanks for deploying at least three cops and a drive-by supervisor to watch fewer than 30 people stand in front of a restaurant peacefully, and then say nothing to the guy across the street hurling insults and trying to agitate a response from us. We were gone in just over an hour and I'm sure someone had vegan donuts over at the Green Fair. Besides, the park was full of bikin-clad sunbathing College of Charleston tarts and we were keeping you from dutifully patrolling the grounds.

Free Joe Wilson!!!

Y'know how you can tell that there was nothing racist about Joe Wilson telling the truth when he said Obama lied? Because neither Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton have opened up their mouths to utter even the slightest peep. Normally they're the first to scream racism in order to get their faces on TV, and even those two media whores are nowhere to be found on this.

However, I just saw Hank Johnson (D-GA)on my TV news looking like a deer in headlights, talking in a slow monotone, saying that because of the Joe Wilson affair we'll have people donning white hoods and white uniforms and riding through the countryside intimidating people. And even Jimmy Carter had a rare moment of lucidity and spoke out, calling Wilson's comment both "dastardly" and "an act based on racism". Hey, Jimbo, why don't you stick with watching those nice young men build houses for the needy instead of trying to be relevant, okay? Last I checked, telling the truth about a liar wasn't racist or dastardly, but letting 53 American hostages sit in an Iranian prison as hostages for 444 days hardly qualifies you to be counted as a great leader.

Meanwhile, the House voted to give Joe a rebuke today for refusing to apologize and grovel. In doing so, the House stated their disapproval of Joe telling the truth, ranking right up their with slaps on the wrist, strongly-worded letters, and stern warnings for the mall police. Meanwhile, more Congressional time was wasted on a non-issue instead of fixing the economy.

And furthermore, we're still waiting for an apology from Nancy Pelosi for lying about her knowledge of waterboarding and for attacking the CIA. We're waiting for an apology from Charlie Rangel for being a tax cheat, from John Murtha, Jim Moran, and Peter Visclosky for campaign fund fraud, from Allan Mollohan, Michael McMahon and John Conyers for ethics violations, and from Edolphus Towns for obstruction of justice?
(http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=615ecc0d-619b-4d1c-815e-d021abd4066d)

Where's the apology from Harry Reed for undermining troop morale (dare I say TREASON?) for saying the war was lost and the surge had failed? Where's the apology from Barbara Boxer for being an obnoxious bitch to a decorated war hero? Where's the apology from Joe Biden for being a semi-literate assclown?

But back to Sharpton and Jackson...I'm curious to see if they come to the defense of the white kid who got a beat down from black kids on a school bus, clearly a racially-motivated hate crime. You know damned well that if a bunch of white kids beat up a black kid, there'd be riots in the streets, so they better come help this kid.

Send an email to the good reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson; demanding a hate crimes investigation into this attack upon a student while riding his school bus in Belleville, Illinois.

Let's talk about Zeks, baby...

Remember this little chestnut?

"I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."
— Hillary Clinton

I consider myself to be an exceptionally proud American. My family hasn’t really been here all that long (my father’s mother was born in Wales, and his father was conceived in Poland but born in the States. He married my grandmother while a bomber crewman in WW2. My mom was born in Toronto, Canada, and her family came to the States in 1960.)

I proudly served this country for four years as an Army Military Policeman. Most of my friends are former & current military folks who took an oath to uphold, protect, and defend this nation against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
Needless to say, I’m more than just a little disturbed at the recent events transpiring in this country.

Firstly, we have people who are being beaten up by uniformed, union thugs for trying to voice their opinions and displeasure at the crap being fed to us by the government. That reminds me an awful lot of Hitler’s brownshirts.

Who?

The Sturmabteilung, abbreviated SA (German for "storm detachment" or "assault detachment", generally meaning "storm troopers"), functioned as the paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Hitler’s rise to power. The SA were called "brownshirts" for the color of their uniforms; this distinguished them from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who wore those really snazzy black uniforms that scared the shit outta everyone.

Secondly, these little town hall meetings full of hand-picked, hallelujah-shouting supporters, just like the early Hitler rallies. I mean, they already know what the questions are gonna be, because they selected them beforehand to lob softballs at Uber-Man. I used to live across the river from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and I'm embarassed at how hard they kissed his ass.

Third, we have a government (and its leader) who has inserted itself into the banking and automotive sectors, and thusly taken control of private industries. They have appointed their own hand-picked minions to do their bidding and try to pass it off as “the people” having an ownership in this disaster, just like the Nazis did.

Next, we have a government filling us full of crap with a so-called stimulus that was fed to us under the auspices of “shovel-ready” projects to get people working again, mostly on infrastructure projects like building roads and bridges. Hey…that’s like…the unemployed people of a post-WW1 Weimar Republic in Germany, and Hitler put thousands of them to work. The Nazis introduced public work schemes for men who worked in the National Labor Service (Reichsarbeitsdienst or RAD). Their work included digging ditches on farms to assist irrigation, building the new autobahns, planting trees, and other fun shovel-ready projects. The economy was so stimulated that the people soon found themselves ruled by a totalitarian dictatorship.

And lest we forget that Herr President Uber-Man has asked us to politely inform him through the Interwebz of people spreading anti-Reich propaganda, um, I mean, misinformation about the healthcare socialization program. Please, inform on your neighbors. Now we’ll have people who dislike conservative bloggers ratting us out to the new Gestapo at flag@whitehouse.gov . The Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei or “Secret State Police” will soon be rounding us up.

NOTE: I absolutely and categorically resent, and am nauseated by, the possibility and implication that people are being encouraged to rat out their friends, neighbors, or family members, or just people they don't agree with. This is bullshittery of the highest magnitudinal order.









We have Frau Pelosi, Anführer des Amerikanischen Representantenhaus, accusing protesters of carrying swastikas. Lady, those signs had that big circular “NO” symbol superimposed over those swastikas. The people are trying to tell you and this Amerikanische Reich that they think that you guys are the Nazis. The anger is NOT manufactured. It’s quite real.

You’re trying your damnedest to turn us into your little socialist worker’s paradise. Lest we forget that “Nazi” is itself yet another German contraction. It was the National Socialist German Workers' Party, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP, and is best known in English as the Nazi Party.

The above poster translates into "National Socialism: The Organization of the Will of the Nation"


By trying to silence us and our dissent, the President, or at least his administration, is guilty of committing a crime, according to United States Code.

According to 5 U.S.C. 552a, United States agencies, including the Executive Office of the President shall, “maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity.”

I finally got my wish! I’ve become enough of a pain in the ass as a writer that I’m on a government watch list! I sorta figured that I’d end up having radical Islam issue a Fatwa against me and declare Jihad upon my ass, but this is just as funny. But now some poor schlub at the National Security Agency, deep underground across the street from Fort Meade, Maryland, is stuck reading my blog.

Also, a lot of talk has been made this week also of this new recruiting ad for the National Guard, seeking folks to fill Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 31E, Internment/Resettlement Specialist. I really want to think that this is just much ado about nothing, but I do kinda wonder…

You see, as I said before, I am a former Military Police soldier. My MOS was 95B. For two years I worked in close conjunction with 95C’s, which were Correctional Specialists, and I had also received additional training in EPW operations to set up camps for Enemy Prisoners of War. Nowadays the 95’s have been replaced by 31’s; the standard MP MOS is 31B. Seems they’ve done away with 31C’s in favor of this new 31E specialty since there are fewer dedicated military prison facilities, but the Army is finding no shortage of refugees to help in camps and there looms the specter of setting up Gitmo-type internment camps here in America to house the prisoners we take in the Global Contingency Against Man-Caused Disasters (ObamaSpeak for the War on Terrorism). The National Guard & Reserve MP units with 31E soldiers would ostensibly be geared towards resettling folks in temporary shelter after natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.

In my heart of hearts, I really hate to think that my beloved MP Corps would be used as SS camp guards to incarcerate dissidents against the Obama government. I somehow feel that if they try to set up these camps, they’d have open mutiny on their hands, and with good reason. Soldiers do have the right to refuse illegal orders. It’s a really scary thing to think that we’ll be rounded up and sent to Gulags like “zeks” in the old days of the Stalin regime in the Soviet Union.

I’ll no longer be Mojo Steve, or The Lightning Man…just Zek #052869.



"Workers with the mind and with the hands choose the frontline soldier..."

And now, a word from California's OTHER idiot...

It never ceases to astonish me how self-absorbed, self-important, and just plain narcissistic some assholes people are.

Learning at the feet of her master, UberWench Nasty Pelosi, today we got a glimpse at the true nature of California’s Other Talking Turd, Barbara “Babs the Bitch” Boxer.

Not content with being spoken to in a deferentially polite manner, Boxer felt the need to remind an Army Brigadier General of that fact Tuesday during a hearing before her Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, where the good general testifying had the apparent gall to call her "ma'am."

Brigadier General Michael Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying on the coastal restoration process in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He began to answer one of Boxer's questions with "ma'am" when Boxer immediately cut him off.

"You know, do me a favor," an irritated Boxer said. "Could say 'Senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"

"Yes, ma'am," Walsh interjected.

"It's just a thing…I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you," she said.

"Yes, senator," he responded.

Thing is, General Walsh meant no disrespect, as military protocol advises that officers may use "sir" or "ma'am" when addressing anybody higher than them on the chain of command.

"We would call them 'sir' or 'ma'am' or 'Senator such-and-such'," Army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Banks said. Colonel Banks said any of those terms would be "appropriate" when addressing a senator.

As an enlisted soldier, I encountered officers all the time, and rest assured, I called them “sir” and “Ma’am” respectfully, as it would actually have been snide to say, “Yes, Major.” Or “No, Lieutenant”, unless you followed their rank title with their last name. That rank is just that, a rank, a title. It would actually have been seen as disrespectful to do it the way Boxer wanted, since it would imply that you’re simply showing respect to the title and not to the person holding it.

Hey, little miss junior senator from Kellyfawnya…you’ve been a Senator since 1993 and for ten years before that, a member of the House. You’re pretty much a career bureaucrat, while the man you chose to belittle commands the Mississippi Valley Division of the Army Corps of Engineers. The boundaries of the Mississippi Valley Division extend from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, include portions of 12 states, and encompass 370,000 square miles. His awards include two Bronze Stars, four Legions of Merit, and numerous lesser awards. He is parachute and Ranger qualified, and has been soldiering since shortly after graduating the Polytechnic Institute of New York in 1977. He’s spent his career of soldiering using his engineering skills to help people worldwide. Perhaps you should offer the General some respect as well?

Tell Babs how you feel about her shitty attitude:

That's Senator Bitch to you, buster!

And they all said that Bush was ignorant...(with guest blogger Jim)

Cartoons about his big ears. Skits on SNL about his poor grammar. Citizens singing "Hey, hey goodbye" to him at the coronation of The Lincoln of our Times™ (or worse, what with the drubbings the rappers gave him.)Go and see:
http://mojosteve.blogspot.com/2009/01/aww-who-needs-old-war-heroes-anyways-we.html

George W. Bush couldn't draw breath without the Left telling us how stupid he was. When John Kerry ran against him in ‘04, we found out W had better grades at Harvard than the reluctant Vietnam War "hero". Didn't matter; W was still the buffoon.

In the 2 months since Mr. Lincoln II has gone to Washington, I've seen more dumb shit than I could shake a stick at. Bill Richardson, Kathleen Sebelius, Tom Daschle, Tim Geithner and others---tax cheats. Hillary Clinton blaming gun shows in the US for Mexican-on-Mexican violence in MEXICO. The gift of DVDs to British PM Gordon Brown that can't even be played on European machines (PAL vs. NTSC), giving the Queen an iPOD. Isn't that a stocking stuffer for your kid at Christmas!!!!!???

Hope he didn't pre-load it with Young Jeezy, Flavor Flav, and 2 Live Crew, Your Majesty. (Wouldn’t want the royal ears to hear “Hey We Want Some Pussy)

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Stupid bows to the King of Saudi Arabia. You know, the guy whose cheek W kissed when he visited after 9/11? It’s in all the conspiracy films. Believe it or not, there is a real difference. SUBJECTS bow, FRIENDS kiss checks in their culture. So all Obama did was make himself look subservient to Saudi Arabia in the eyes of pretty much everyone in the Middle East. Way to go, boss. Anyone remember back to their military training? While we saluted foreign officers out of respect, there was a protocol. Our palm down, their palm raised upright, (British, German) because we had defeated them in battle. The Libs tell us this guy/king is our enemy, (and he very well may not completely be our friend 100% of the time. I mean, 15 of 19 hijackers on 9-11 were Saudis) but our self-aggrandizing leader bows to him the first chance he gets. Think I'm bullshitting? Check for yourself at AMERICAN THINKER or on YOU TUBE.


Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he was having another Special Olympics bowling moment. This guy really looks smooth, suave, and hip, just like the mainstream media portrayed him during the campaign. Actually, I think he’s given birth to a whole new generation of Ugly Americans.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Commentary from MojoSteve:
Yeah. Okay. For a guy who’s supposedly so damned brilliant, Obama has surrounded himself with dolts and tax cheats and Clinton Administration retreads. Half the people he’s nominated to Cabinet positions (some of them newly made up) have had to back out due to failure to pay taxes, and others have survived their tax failures and settled into their seats of power, expecting you & me to play by the rules that they flaunt. Nancy Killefer was gonna be the new Chief Performance Officer (whatever the fuck THAT is) but she’s a tax cheat. Tom “Dash-hole” Daschle withdrew from consideration as Health & Human Services Secretary. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson was on the short list to for both State and Commerce, and withdrew over a grand jury investigation into ethics and the awarding of contracts to his supporters.

Alleged financial wunderkind Tim Geithner is now the SecTreasury, but is such a financial imbecile that he “accidentally” cheated on his taxes due to an inability to operate TurboTax. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is the latest nominee to the poisoned post of HHS, and she has tax problems. And what in the HELL is Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano doing as Secretary of Homeland Security? Is this a joke?

She couldn’t keep illegals out of her own state so how in the hell can we expect her to secure the entire nation? Arizona’s biggest import is Mexicans, followed by dope. Arizona’s biggest export to other states is Mexicans, followed by dope. She has the fucking audacity to call the Global War on Terror a “contingency”, and terrorism is now simply a “man-caused disaster”. What kind of politically correct bullshit is that? Why not just call it an Oopsie, or a Mildly Unpleasant Misunderstanding?


And Shrillary Clinton…her and Obama were at each other’s throats all through the elections, and now they play all nicey-nice as she kow-tows to various foreign hosts and places all the blame for Mexico’s drain-circling on our shoulders. Maybe she’s just purposely assing it up to make Obie look bad?

And lest we forget Barney “Buddy Hackett” Frank and Nasty Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein and Dirty Harry Reid…and that embarrasment Joe Biden...gawd, it took 233 years to get us here as a nation, and less than 90 days to derail the American Dream. Hope and Change!!! Yes We Can!!!

Hey, David Letterman; for 8+ years W has been mentioned in 90% of your lame-assed Top Ten Lists as the butt of your Liberalisms. When can we expect to see you adding your new Lord & Master to the lists?

Taxes and the REAL cost of Freedom (with guest blogger Jim)

Tax Day is rapidly approaching; time to give Uncle Sugar his pound of flesh, and be glad it's only a pound (for now).

Your money will go to various things the government deems necessary, like $100 a pound Wagyu beef, so the Lincoln of Our Times™ can entertain in style. (That's for the ribeyes; tenderloin filets are $150 and strip steaks are $126).

Or like the money wasted by Nasty Nancy Pelosi "repeatedly and aggressively", who pestered the military for aircraft to fly her friends and family, hither dither and yon, to the extent that it is felt she is treating the military as her own personal airline. See Fox News Judicial Watch article/report dated 3/10/09, or go read the wisdom of Steve:
http://mojosteve.blogspot.com/2009/03/look-at-meeeeee-im-nancy-peeeeeee.html .

Or the money Barney Frank sent to his bank to keep it afloat after it faced collapse due to shitty lending practices. Or my head-scratching favorite: money to study catfish genetics, which was dreamed up by a Republican. That’s $819,000.00 to study catfish genetics in Alabama, to be exact.

I know my tax dollars go to fund worthy causes too; the national parks, the interstate system, federal prisons, the FBI, and last, but most important, the military.

I know the military/industrial complex just pisses the left off, but there is much good that comes from it too. Advanced computer technology, a trained, reliable work force, better medicine and medical procedures, and most importantly JOBS.

But there is something else the military/industrial complex turns out; casualties.

Statistically, we are returning more soldiers than ever home, with very serious injuries, to include multiple amputees and traumatic brain injuries. Here is the catch; 40 years ago most of these troops would have died on the battlefield. Our sometimes tax-driven military/industrial complex did research and testing that is paying dividends now to our best and bravest.

But is there something we can do to help besides paying our taxes? Glad you asked. There are many charitable organizations you can donate to, to help our most needy service members and their families.

My wife and I donate to the Wounded Warrior Project and the Freedom Alliance, every year, after we get our tax return. Other worthy charities include, but are not limited to, Sew Much Comfort, Fisher House Foundation and Operation Gratitude. I understand money is tight for some, if not all of us, but ask yourself: can I do with a little less so that our troops and their families don't have to do without? Some of these organizations are looking for your volunteer talent if you can't spare any money.

We all bitch about taxes, and with good cause. Who wants to give $900 million to Hamas, or spend $400 million to fight STDs? I mean, what's a box of rubbers, $12? Why 400 mill?

This year, take control use some of that tax return to help your neighbors, your brothers and sisters, our friends, our heroes.

For a list of charities helping our service members and their families go to Reconnect America at http://www.military.com/giveback/ .


Additional notes, from MojoSteve:
Wagyu Beef refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to yummy goodness...I wouldn’t know; I can’t afford it. It’s a splurge at my house to get a ten-dollar two-pack of ribeyes. The meat from wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value. Several areas in Japan are famous for the quality of their Wagyu cattle, and ship beef bearing their areas' names. Some examples are Kobe, Mishima and Ohmi beef. A quick look at www.lobels.com shows a steal, with 10-ounce ribeyes going for only $58.98 apiece. Or if you’re hungry, a 16-ouncer is just $91.98 per steak. A few weeks ago, you could score a 15-pound whole Wagyu ribeye from Costco for only $2300 clams. Nationwide unemployment is almost 9%, but the Obamunists are entertaining with hundred-dollar steaks. Something tells me that our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t getting Wagyu in their MRE’s.

Her Royal Obamaness the First Lady of Socialism wants you all to give up your piece of the pie and eat cake (or eat shit, I guess) in order to socialize healthcare, but she got busted in October at the Waldorf Astoria noshing on lobster appetizers at 25 bucks a whack, whole lobsters at 50 a pop, a relatively cheap champagne at 44 dollars (a glass? Probably, since Bollinger is a big-name vintner in France dating back to 1585. It goes for a couple hundred a bottle online, and you know the Waldorf marks that shit up. It’s the preferred champagne of James Bond, incidentally) and a big ol’ serving of Osetra caviar, from the rare Persian sturgeon (ie: Iranian caviar) for $150.00. She spent more on an afternoon snack than most of her subjects can spend a month on groceries.

Please, blow up the above picture to see it in all its glory...

And now the Liberals hate your black cars too

I swear, if Hell has a front gate, it’s located under a manhole at the corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Fransisco, the Crapital of Liberal Socialist America. After all, the City by the Bay spawned Diane Feinstein and Nasty Pelosi. Need I say more? The evil oozes downhill and has contaminated Sacramento so badly that California is just a running joke now. The rhino may be endangered but there’s a RINO in Kellyfawnya named Arnold who’s alive & well.

I say this, because as if there wasn’t enough governmental control bullshit and babble issuing forth from the Obamunist Manifesto in Washington, the asstards in California now want to control what color your car can be, based on Global Warming bullshit.

The problem stems from a new “cool paints” initiative from the California Air Resources Board. CARB wants to mandate the phase-in of heat-reflecting paints on vehicle exteriors beginning with the ’12 model year, with all colors meeting a 20% reflectivity requirement by the ’16 model year.

Because about 17 other states tend to follow California’s regulatory lead for no better reason than it sounds cool & hip, as many as 40% of the vehicles sold in the U.S. could be impacted by the proposed directive, suppliers say.

The measure is allegedly aimed at reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and improving fuel economy by keeping vehicles cooler on sunny days and decreasing the amount of time drivers use their air conditioners. I just simply can’t believe that someone feels they should regulate my personal comfort level in my car based on their own idiocy.

From the CARB website: “In 2006, California adopted the California Global Warming Solutions Act, also known as AB 32. This law created a comprehensive, long term plan for California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Cool Paints was identified as an Early Action strategy, to be in place no later than January 1, 2010. This strategy is based on measures to reduce the solar heat gain in a vehicle parked in the sun. A cooler interior would make drivers less likely to activate the air conditioner, which increases carbon dioxide emissions.”

The rationale goes like this: Vehicle a/c units sap engine power and hurt fuel economy. If vehicle paint and glass reflect more heat, car interiors will be cooler. That means drivers will use their a/c less, the compressors won’t have to work as hard and auto makers will be able to use smaller a/c units in the future. Eventually, these environmentalist assholes will outlaw air conditioning altogether.

There should be a massive public outcry, for at least these two reasons:
1. Black is a highly-popular car color, second only to white, according to the 2008 DuPont Automotive Color Popularity Report, and

2. Regulating the color of cars, or anything else for that matter, is the mark of an overly-intrusive government and a lessening of our freedoms.
In 2006 an experiment was conducted by Craig Eppling, the regional head of public relations for General Motors in Dallas.

He parked a red Buick Lucerne, a white Chevrolet Impala and a black Saab SUV on a concrete parking lot in Carrollton, Texas one afternoon in mid-July. All were late-model, low-mileage vehicles. There were thermometers in each car, and readings were taken every five minutes between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The temperature outside ranged from a 93 to 102.

The red Lucerne was left with its windows up. The white Impala started the test with its windows down a quarter of the way, and they were lowered all the way at 3:40 p.m. The black Saab had darkly tinted windows that were left up.

At 4:20 p.m., when the temperature hit 102 degrees outside, the black Saab with gangsta glass rolled up tight registered an interior temperature of 125.8. The white Impala with the windows down had an interior temperature of 127.2 degrees, and the red Lucerne with untinted windows up all the way was a brain-melting 139.5 degrees.
None of this surprised Jan Null, an adjunct professor of meteorology at San Francisco State University, who has done research on heat and sealed vehicles.

"The exterior of a black car gets hotter than a white car, but it does not get transferred to the interior any more than in a white car," he said. "Try this experiment: Take your hand and put it on the headliner. It's not very hot. The energy that heats up the inside of a car comes through the windows."

Holy shit. You mean there’s a sane, rational voice of reason in the Capital of Liberalism?

Besides, anyone who's ever entered a hot car knows that it can be cooled down immediately by driving a few dozen feet with the windows open, effectively neutralizing any color-caused heat issues before engaging the a/c. But whatever, black is evil according to he Dems, unless it’s to promote the fact that their President is black-ish.


Not even your super cool black Prius Hybrid is safe from Liberal Tyranny. Who's the dumbass now?
