The High Cost Of Subsidizing Bad Decisions
The High Cost Of Subsidizing Bad Decisions
"Since the average American never took out a mortgage loan as big as seven hundred grand — for the very good reason that he could not afford it — why should he be forced as a taxpayer to subsidize someone else who apparently couldn't afford it either but who got in over his head anyway?
Why should taxpayers who live in apartments, perhaps because they did not feel that they could afford to buy a house, be forced to subsidize other people who could not afford to buy a house but who went ahead and bought one anyway?...........
The one person toward whom there is no compassion is the taxpayer."

Barack Obama 'too tired' to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown
Barack Obama 'too tired' to give proper welcome to Gordon Brown
"Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been 'overwhelmed' by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by complaints that the Prime Minister should have been granted full-blown press conference and a formal dinner, as has been customary. They concede that Obama aides seemed unfamiliar with the expectations that surround a major visit by a British prime minister"
The Brits are reporting Obama's meltdown.
The adoring US media still has its hands over its ears.

Interesting Video On Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac
Interesting Video On Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac: "This is a video from 2004 where Democrats seem to oppose and Republicans seem to favor stricter review and regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is not to say that the Democrats did not favor stricter review or that the Republicans are innocent from blame and I do blame both sides for the mess.
But for those who try to paint the other picture, the Democrats being those who fought for regulation against the GOP, it does change things a bit.
It’s all in their own words, so watch it for yourself"

"Its real aim is to push philanthropic organizations into ignoring donor intent and instead giving grants based on political considerations.
The committee is part of a rising tide of politicians and activists who are working to change the face of American philanthropy -- and not for the better."
I thought ALL our "race problems" were gonna go away with the coronation of our Great Leader.

Russian media teases Clinton over 'reset' button
Russian media teases Clinton over 'reset' button
"Russian media has been poking fun at US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she gave her Russian counterpart a 'reset' button with an ironic misspelling.
Clinton's gift to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at their meeting in Geneva on Friday evening was meant to underscore the Obama administration's readiness to 'to press the reset button' in ties with Moscow.
But instead of the Russian word for 'reset' (perezagruzka) it featured a slightly different word meaning 'overload' or 'overcharged' (peregruzka)."
Thank God that hilary isn't as STUPEDed as Sarah Palin....

A pedometer without the weight
A pedometer without the weight - Cool Sites from The Kim Komando
"I’m a lover of techie gadgets. So you probably think I use some sort of high-tech pedometer, right? Wrong! I like to exercise without all the extra weight.
I still keep track of my distances, though. I use the Gmaps Pedometer. It is simpler and less cumbersome than a physical pedometer."
