Companies Flee California

Posted By Dave Snope

Some of the democratic legislators were pushing for an "exit tax" that would impose a huge fee on companies for moving out of CA. They're extremists.

The dang banks

Posted By Dave Snope

Someone should explain to the administration that the smart people are renting houses these days. The suckers are buying them. It's pretty easy to do a back-of-the-envelope calc and see that after five years you'll have a heckuva lot more money if you rented a property instead of bought one. So, why are they pushing so hard to get low-income people to buy homes? Are they trying to make them poorer?

The Two State Solution Poll

Posted By Dave Snope

These numbers look typical of past surveys. They've always approved of murdering Jewish civilians by a large margins.

Hamas needs to round up those 27% of Palis that did not agree with the Hadith. An ordinary muslim cannot make the choice to disagree with the traditions of Muhammed (hadith). Just for grins, I'd like to hear Obama respond to a question about the 73% of his "negotiating partners'" desire to kill Jews.

I'd say it's either a 1964 or 1965 F-85 Olds Cutlass Coupe

Gore is P.O.'d

Posted By Dave Snope

He sounds like a Don Quixote fighting straw windmills.

Hmmmm, his quote has me wondering something. Has he actually ever been in "mixed company"? There has been no sign of it. He never speaks publicly to mixed company, or gives interviews to mixed company, and he certainly has never ever discussed AGW theory with anyone who is to the center of left on the issue. Remember when Gore ran away from a radio interview when he heard that the centrist and tactful Bjorn Lomborg was going to be there? Errrr, Scheduling Conflict, Gotta Go!

Where did he get this "mixed company" idea? Or is this just another "Love Story"?

And the GOP plan? Oh yeah, cut spending and everything else will take care of itself...

Obama must think we're all idiots. More of the same BS that makes things worse.

As far as the Tea Party, if they had really had their way and gotten actual cuts in spending, the S&P wouldn't have downgraded the US debt. But we got no cuts, we got "the GOP Plan" instead of real debt reduction, the S&P said as much and downgraded our rating. As many times as you hear demo politicians say "It's a Tea Party downgrade" as their latest coordinated talking point, remember that the S&P would have not downgraded if the Tea Party people gotten the actual spending cuts that they wanted. S&P made that very clear. Oh yeah, and remember that the demos had no plan except for that last-minute BS by "Dr. Biden" that was only posturing.

If this is still confusing to you, look at Ohio. They just had their credit rating UPGRADED. How did they do it? Lowering taxes and making the state more business friendly. And stopped relying on federal funds to balance the budget (on paper). Nobody died.

Another Stimulus Package Coming

He's supposed to speak in an hour. Will probably be tardy, as usual.

I'm betting on: Tornadoes, Tea Party, Volcanoes, Tea Party, Bad Weather, Tea Party, Fairness, Tea Party, Corporate Jets, Tea Party, Fat Cats, Tea Party. He will also mention the sacrifice of the Army Seals.

The Entitled

Are the Entitled entitled to this?

Somebody just gag him.

Good Lord.

It's like The Gore Effect. Every place he goes to scare people about unstoppable global warming has record snow and cold.

It doesn't matter, though. They both get Nobel Peace Prizes and Obama will probably get a Nobel Prize in Economics by the time he has completely wiped out my retirement funds. And we still have the inflation coming. Good Lord.

Obama said financial markets around the world “still believe our credit is triple-A. I and the world’s investor’s agree.”

Oh... My... God...
