OUTRAGE: Obama and FEMA leave Americans to die in Kentucky. Media firestorm in . . . well, never.
Plus, “Obama dozed, people froze.”
And Juliette Ochieng emails: “President Obama doesn’t care about white people…and neither do the MSM.”
Well, that wouldn’t fit the narrative.

The Myth of the ‘Widening Gap Between Rich and Poor’
The Myth of the ‘Widening Gap Between Rich and Poor’:
"It gets repeated so frequently and so persistently that many assume it must be true: the rich are getting richer and the poor have been left behind in ever-larger numbers, especially during the eeeeeevil Bush administration.
Baloney."

CARPE DIEM: Superbowl Tickets $1000 Less Than Last Year
Superbowl Tickets $1000 Less Than Last Year
"That means on the low end you're finding tickets going for about $1,400 and they're going to be coming down even farther as the weekend goes on,' said Pate."
Wow!
"That means on the low end you're finding tickets going for about $1,400 and they're going to be coming down even farther as the weekend goes on,' said Pate."
Wow!
Things must be REALLY bad if the cheap seats are only $1,400.

....is this still Bush's fault or Engler's..... cause of the Lions mess?....
Liberal media dumber than 128 year old woman!
Uzbekistan Claims World's Oldest Woman
"Uzbekistan officials say they have found the world's oldest woman and, if her age proves to be accurate, she would be the oldest documented person to have ever lived, according to the BBC News.
Tuti Yusupova's birth certificate says she was born in 1880, officials told the BBC.
Wow!
This is big! (I wonder what type of yogurt she eats)
Uzbekistan records are known to be the most accurate of any birth records in the liberal media world!
Nice to see the tradition of "fact" checking continues!

global economic traffic jam has Muskegon backed up
Economist George Erickcek says global economic traffic jam has Muskegon backed up
'We find that the best and the brightest are going to Chicago and other areas,' Erickcek told the chamber breakfast crowd. 'It's a challenge we have to work on in Muskegon County.'"
But let's not address the ever increasing taxes, never accountable schools, crime rate, ornery city/county government services and the Frauenthalians who waste precious tax dollars on personal projects.
No. Let's not do that.
Don't want to offend anyone.... ya know.....

"We can learn from them. ..Or can we?
Consider the basic and fundamental reason for the current financial (housing based) crisis. It started many years ago with one of the most incompetent presidents this country has ever seen. See if you can guess from the following multiple choice:
A. Jimmy Carter
B. Jimmy Carter
C. Jimmy Carter
D. All of the above.
I believe the answer is somewhere along the lines of 1977: Jimmy Carter rams the Community Reinvestment Act through Congress.
Note that it has since been reinforced by Democrat (Clinton) and Only slightly rebuffed by a distracted Republican Bush white house, however note that even Bush’s administration Mankiw warned of trouble:
“2001: Bush administration warns of impending doom. In Bush’s first year in office, the White House’s chief economist, N. Gregory Mankiw, warned Fannie and Freddie’s loans to unqualified borrowers and other complications at the two institutions were creating a huge risk for the entire financial system.
Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) denounced Mankiw, accusing him of having no “concern about housing.” ”"

OBAMA’S PLAN HAS ALREADY BOOSTED TAX COLLECTIONS!
OBAMA’S PLAN HAS ALREADY BOOSTED TAX COLLECTIONS!
In office less than two weeks, President Barack Obama has already increased tax receipts at the U.S. Treasury with an innovative plan to get tax-dodgers to pay up, in full, immediately.
“The president’s plan is simple but ingenious,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, “He targets wealthy individuals who filed inaccurate tax forms, cheating the government out of tens of thousands of dollars. Then he just nominates them for cabinet positions. They suddenly see the error of their ways, and they cut checks for the full amount owed, plus interest.”"
Wow!
This man, Obama, is deep!

"THE full extent of the disease plaguing the NSW health system can be revealed, with an analysis showing every one of the state's 220 public hospitals is either battling to pay bills, struggling to attract staff or short of beds."
This is the SAME system that demo-crook leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed want to force on our seniors!
And have the kids pay for!

Obama's Animal Farm Cabinet
Obama pushes economic plan
"Obama was facing a new political distraction -- the disclosure that Tom Daschle, picked to spearhead U.S. health care reform, failed to pay more than $128,000 in taxes.
It was the latest glitch in Obama's effort to complete his cabinet and focus on his administration's top priorities. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's nomination was held up earlier by criticism over late payment of $34,000 in taxes."

White House Unbuttons Formal Dress Code
"Mr. Obama’s work habits are already becoming clear. He shows up at the Oval Office shortly before 9 in the morning, roughly two hours later than his early-to-bed, early-to-rise predecessor."
Imagine how the NYT would report this if Bush had showed up for work at 9:00AM!
Is this a "community organizer" thing or something congenital?

I recall the wonderful results when teachers dressed down from coat/tie and professional dresses for women.

Iran says Obama's offer to talk shows US failure
"US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of 'domination' has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.
'This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed,' Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency."
Wait, wait!
I thought this was Barry Hussein's great leap forward in communication and peace in our time with the Iranians!

"Approval of this bond will generate approximately $13 million."

It means "take money from homeowners and renters and business owners and give it to the Mona Shores School board".
They will then take our money and give it out as pork to their friends.

Grand Haven City hall picketed, but deer kill continues
Update: Grand Haven City hall picketed, but deer kill continues
"Earlier in the day, a handful of residents protested the city's recent killing of 19 deer on Harbor Island by picketing outside City Hall.
Three to five residents held signs throughout the morning urging city leaders to reverse the decision to hire certified sharpshooters to kill deer. Protesters said it's an unsafe and cruel way to manage the urban deer population."
We must understand the lib media.
"three to five residents" protesting old news is enough to get 2 posts on Mlive.
And we conservatives can't get 3-5 to show for anything?

Postmaster General: Mail days may need to be cut
"Massive deficits could force the post office to cut out one day of mail delivery, the postmaster general told Congress on Wednesday, in asking lawmakers to lift the requirement that the agency deliver mail six days a week."
If the PO won't do the job, their monopoly on mail delivery will end so other companies can do the job the feds have so failed at?
Yeah right....
And these are the same folks who tell us their ready and able to run our national health care!

"A newspaper says it took three calls to Detroit authorities over two days before they recovered the body of a man frozen in ice in the elevator shaft of a vacant warehouse."
This is typical and really not new.
After all, the city of Detroit died years ago and no one will admit it.

Who pays for the Stimulus?
"I wanted to know who will PAY for the stimulus. I have heard numbers tossed out such as $6,700 per household, but not all households pay the same taxes. Most households pay nothing at all. So, I took the breakdown of who pays federal taxes by percentage of income and then looked at how many people that represents.
The top 1% of taxpayers pay 39% of all federal income taxes. It stands to reason that those same earners will be required to pay the same or similar percentage of the stimulus. How much is that going to be?
Bottom line: if you are in the top 1%, you can expect to pay almost $240,000 dollars of the stimulus.
Here’s the chart."
