It felt kinda like watching how gracefully the Chinese executed the Olympics. The pageantry was superb. Unfortunately, you have to look no further than Nancy Pelosi’s “Fairness Act”, the “marriages” in San Fran, the 20 plus million invaders to the country that will still be here after the speech… prolly with better health care than me… what?
And still wondering where Jesse Jackson and Sharpton are… and when newly reprogrammed mommy will emerge.
Where did they do with Al Gore? haha O yeah… And then there’s Jimmy Carter that referred to Obama as… that boy? What?
Still don’t wanna live in China or in that America… and hopefully straight Mex McCain will dump Carly Fiorina and grow some conservative values… yeah right.
Will seriously watch what Nader can put together this time….

The IRS just spent it to send you a letter stating what you VERY likely already know in announcing that your stimulus is on the way and that you have to file an income tax return.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080307/ap_on_go_ot/dear_taxpayer
Just to throw out some ideas on productive uses of such a chunk of change.
– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that have high populations of poor and homeless?
– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that still have significant damage from natural disasters?
Frankly, it’s a lot of money, but not enough to make any dent in the infrastructure issues that came to mind. But humanitarian aide as cited above seemed to be the most likely better use.
Looks like Linda Stiff is serving as acting Commissioner at the IRS and that Henry Paulson is head at the Department of Treasury that the IRS is under. It’s not clear who/what group was immediately responsible for this spending decision.
Perhaps you’d like to contact your senator or house representative for your state to let them know how you appreciated the use of this public tax money.

Im not even gonna ask how much is being spent to run that commercial about TV’s not working without a converter box or replacement after Feb 2009. And how could we better use that money?

Sadly, if you made less than $3000 in 2007, you will NOT get a dime under the current Stimulus package. These people are too poor to spend this on necessities?
Unemployment benefits that ran out…will stay run out.
Looks like the current version will give a tax Rebate of taxes paid up to $600 for singles now…..but you wont even get stimulated til May or June.
$50 billion in incentives for businesses to buy new equipment… (No, …..you have to put the equipment in a business still located in the US…yeah)
I keep hoping that I misread something on this….
Now it has to go through the House and Senate… Perhaps, some help for those making less than $3000 or with their unemployment depleted…

Umm cause the US has lost an assload of high and mid wage jobs, thanks to Democrat (think Clinton) and Republican (think Bushes) support for NAFTA and CAFTA. And both parties sat idly by while 12 million (or more) people invaded the country.
Trade a (up to $300 $600) one time, already paid, tax rebate (for a single person) for a $40,000 or more full time job? Buehler?…Anyone?
It’s a rebate btw…What if you were unemployed some or all of 2007? It will rebate up to $300 $600 of the tax you had withheld.
AND…if you are eligible, …..you wont get it til May AFTER youve already had to file your return.
Anyway, FYI, here is an interesting blog posting. I wont vouch for accuracy, but it’s thought provoking especially in these times.

It was more than sobering to see a Sheriff’s Commissioner’s Sale notice on a house in my neighborhood today. In all my years I’d never seen one on a property near me. (and yes there certainly have been those sales throughout the years)
I’m not sure if it was a case where this person got sucked into one of those horrible ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) or if there was a job loss, bad decisions or bad health… The property was evidently financed by Citigroup Financial. But, I don’t any of the particulars of this situation.
It was however a sharp kick in the stomach to remind me just how bad things are for what used to be a middle class in the United States.
It does sicken me to see the media just spin a lot of the bad situations as a mortgage crisis. It’s just not that simple. And certainly I know how bad the job market is and has been for at least the last 10 to 15 years.
And certainly when 12 million of anyone invades the country and further loads down an economy that already was predicting that the next generations won’t have medicare, pension or retirement… …. that I see an elderly parent and relatives count on for survival….
Then to further have to listen to someone like Bill Clinton and Bill Gates and others blather on about what they are “giving back”…. except it’s in some other country….(not usually the one that raised them up…by the way)
Yeah the whole evil mess just leaves me with a pit in my stomach…. and my prayers go out to that family…
This is no longer politics.

I see a blip on a yahoo news about a CAFTA free trade agreement getting ready to be voted on in Costa Rica Sunday, October 7, 2007.
Already approved in the states? Really? After all the damage NAFTA has caused to US jobs and workers? Really? Where is our cracker jack media in reporting this? Oh, prolly Britney or Lindsay or Paris had more important stuff to distract us with.
Both parties continue to sell us down the F-ing river.

Please mail, email and call your representative to let them know how you appreciate this…

I saw this the other day as I entered a grocery store (and it’s 2007 folks.)
Can’t say I ever saw much enforcement of this. I used to see this service policy warning on the front door of most restaurants, stores and groceries back say in the 70’s. (Now…pardon my sidebar remembering classic Lovelines observations by Adam Carolla reflecting on his upbringing in a fairly hippie area of North Hollywood in the late 60’s and 70’s….also getting a mental recall of Fast Times at Ridgemont High where Jeff Spicoli might need the council of such a service policy…but I digress )
But especially in the 70’s some jack off would inevitably walk into a reputable store with no shirt and some cutoffs and an ora of respect that he had at the convenience store earlier when he bought the smokes he was now fumegating everyone with.
Ahh the 70’s….So to the rest of the world..yeah we needed the sign. Common sense …..was NOT adequate…because it had quit being common. It was during the end of and following the Vietnam war and the man wasn’t gonna hold homie down with all his rules man.
So, now it’s 2007 ….and the sign…is back….it’s ALL back…Enjoy!

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00228
On the Cloture Motion (Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Motion to Proceed to Consider S.1639 – Which is reviving the Amnesty Immigration Bill for another vote in the Senate Thursday 6/28 ? or near that date.
Look at this list of Tax and Spend Liberal Democrats (below) ready to give 12 million illegal invaders of the United States, Amnesty and some Social Security and all kinda government program benefits that they will be soon legally be entitled to. Oh wait, and there’s some sell-out Republicans on this list too. Can you imagine 12 million invaders that would legally have claim to our benefits system? We are told that Social Security already can’t support the citizens we have now. Should I write this posting in Spanish? How soon will it be that Spanish would be our official second language? or first? Supposedly, magically, we will now seal our borders…really?…Then why not do that, then round up the invaders and send them to Mexico?WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE in MEXICO!
Remember the Alamo!
Please see how your representative voted and call their office, mail their office and email their office and let them know how you liked their vote….Señor!!!!

*********** I will try to read all replies on this, but I will likely not try to post them as this will generate a LOT of traffic *************
BOTH parties sold us down the river on NAFTA. Now both of the illegal nanny using parties are fixing to puss out and finish selling us out with an amnesty bill (S 1348) to cover the fact that BOTH parties have been criminally negligent in their duties to maintain a sealed border.
But, but,… they are here now…and and we should like be nice and neighborly….and and,,,we are gonna make them pay a fine too…
and and..it’s jobs our people don’t wanna do…Uh Nooooo
You mean you can get away without paying them a decent wage and benefits.
Andddd….once they are legal, they will take even more of the jobs that haven’t been already exported overseas and then have legal right to more benefits and government programs. Oh and by the way, this comes just as they worry us daily that the social security system can’t support all the people that are ACTUAL citizens. The boat is too full…Get out!
I can’t wait til every McDonalds and Walmart is chock full of Mexicans!
And,… they broke US law and INVADED the US. Quit being a bunch of puzzies and round them up and deport them. Do your damn job!
Or step down…or be fired!
That’s it. Do it!
If I trot my lil azz over the Canada (which I may have to do if we get Hillary) without the proper paperwork and permissions…Uh they will round me up and throw me the hell out….as they should.
Hopefully everyone is writing, emailing and ringing the phones off the walls in DC.
Please understand that I have nothing against Mexicans, when they are here legally. My passion in this post is due to the complete incompetence of BOTH political parties.
