Heading South
I’m leaving the Portland area this weekend, moving back down south. I will be settling back in Vegas when I find a place I like. In the meantime I will be visiting family in San Diego.
Dealing with Bureaucrats
This is a pretty funny series of letters between someone with a small apartment and a property management company.
The Anger is Rising
Check out the following statement.
We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama’s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through.
From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn’t have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?
Obama is useless. Worse than that, he’s dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now — before he drags us further into the abyss.
This isn’t from some right winger. It’s from Ted Rall, the far left cartoonist. And it shows that people on both sides are getting fed up with Obama.
Let’s just hope his socialized health care plans fail before he completely bankrupts the economy.
It’s Not Over Yet
It’s pretty sad that Pravda, the Russian paper (which means “truth”) lhas an obituary on US Capitalism.
I can certainly see why, Obama is doing his best to destroy America’s economic system and run up insane debts that will break the economy.
Just the other day he said “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” Well, he’s not going to run the economy without a fight. Despite what Pravda thinks, I don’t believe Americans will just roll over when push comes to shove.
The reason he’s pushing for so much so fast is he is trying to do it all before people start calling for his head. Once it’s enacted into law, it will be much harder to reverse. That’s why he says its now or never for his Nationalized Heath Care.
Let’s hope it’s never.
Convicted for Manga
A manga collector has been convicted of possessing obscene materials.
In an obscenity first, a U.S. comic book collector has pleaded guilty to importing and possessing Japanese manga books depicting illustrations of child sex abuse and bestiality.
Christopher Handley, described by his lawyer as a “prolific collector” of manga, pleaded guilty last week to mailing obscene matter, and to “possession of obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children.” Three other counts were dropped in a plea deal with prosecutors.
They do have those kinds of comics in Japan, but not knowing which books they are referring to, it’s hard to know if they were really about kids since they draw a lot of characters to look that way.
The problem here is these comics are not based on anything other than the authors own fictional work. But there is a stupid law that says any drawing that looks like child porn is child porn. The reason it’s stupid is it opens a door which will make it easier to prosecute a lot of things that aren’t even close. It also sets a precedent for worse laws to come.
What’s Latina Have to Do With It?
My latest Big Hollywood post. Original title: Affirmative Action is Racist.
Your Government At Work
The US Debt Clock. Obama tripled quadrupled our debt in only 4 months. His reasons are mostly bogus.
And of course, they will decide on more taxes to pay for it. So now they are talking about a VAT.
A VAT will add about 10-25% to the cost of everything. This will seriously hurt the poor as will the insane inflation that is to come with Obama’s policies. So much for Obama not raising taxes on anyone under 250K a year income.
They say they are just “looking at it”. Based on their actions lately, don’t think that means you’re safe.
