Good to see ya getting down there JohnnyCakes!! Grin

The McCainites I work with are bringing in dollar bills on Friday to help redistribute their wealth(yes they are all doctors Wink)...

Yes it is a Happy Day indeed!


Another empty-headed post. I'm guessing economics isn't your strong suit  but those doctors who will have to pay more money to the taxman so that some losers & slugs who DON'T pay taxes can get an extra gov't check will probably cut back on some things. Who knows, your job or someone else's could be eliminated.  I'd love to see your post if that happened. These doctors might seem like overpaid assholes to you but they worked extra hard to get where they're at & I'm sure giving up their hard-earned rewards to a bunch of losers on the slow train to Palookaville seems great to you & a bunch of other "Change-aholics" & Euros but it's not right & will come back to bite many in the ass. Good luck.

No. I provide a service & am paid accordingly. To say THAT'S socialism would be like saying anyone whpo's elected to a gov't office is a socialist. Why don't you people know the basics & how the fuck did you vote?

I've made jokes about the election results too but there's an element of truth behind each joke. You reacted to my empty-headed comment & avoided the gist of what I wrote. You might not lose your job as a result of these insane economic proposals but other people certainly will. I'm sure Bush & others will be blamed by the likes of you. It'll never cross your mind that raising taxes on the successful to pay off the losers isn't the way to strengthen the economy. I might seem pompous but at least I can remember what I learned in Econ101.

Your wages are a direct result of collective bargaining in an industry that is nationalized. I'm just pointing out that it's a little ironic that you are making derogatory statements about socialism when you benefit from a form of socialism.

We need people to work for the gov't in order to have a basic framework to run this country. I work in a highly specialized field & my job is described as "an inherently governmental function." There are some privatized outfits that provide a similar service but that's at airports that mostly small planes fly into. But any major airport has gov't employees ensuring safety. I don't see that as socialsim but I can see how you might. Ron Paul wanted the FAA privatized.

Anyway, I have some real stuff to get done today; canceling MSM mags, other fun stuff. I hope not too many of us lose our jobs because of this upcoming socialist endeavor. This country made a huge mistake the other day because of a hissy fit & we'll reap what we sow.  Oy vay!

Gee we own stock now in companies and the market did move up about 15-20% over the bottom. Did we sell any and net a tidy profit? Or has anyone even considered the rules around our wonderful new stock portfolio?

One last post...


    Indianapolis - Lines were long and tempers flared Wednesday not to vote but to get paid for canvassing for Barack Obama. Several hundred people are still waiting to get their pay for last-minute campaigning. Police were called to the Obama campaign office on North Meridian Street downtown to control the crowd.

    The line was long and the crowd was angry at times.

    "I want my money today! It's my money. I want it right now!" yelled one former campaign worker...

    The workers showed up to get their cards Wednesday morning at 10:00 am.

    "There was a note on the door saying 1:00 pm and then at 1:20 pm everybody was like why is nobody here. They just got here and they're trying to get it organized," said Heather Richards, a former campaign worker.

    The large gathering of around 375 people prompted police to call in extra officers and set up temporary barricades. The barricades helped keep the crowd from spilling out onto Meridian Street. Police say the several hundred people in line were for the most part orderly...

    "Talking about they'll mail it to us. I ain't worried about that, man. They're not going to mail nothin'," said Martin.

I'm so getting ready to laugh in the face of all the Obamadrones! It's already starting to turn to shit on the stock market. Of course, anyone that had a lick of common sense knew that it would! With The Marxist One's proposed capital gains tax increase, federal income tax increase, massive business tax increases, cap and trade policy, and general stupid assed socialist financial policies the market has gone through the worst post election cycle in the entire history of the nation! Thank you Obamadrones! Thank you!!


Now Putin is talking about running for president again, and Russia is talking about placing intercontinental missiles on the border with Poland! Putin is going to continue to drill for oil without any concern for the phony "global warming" bullshit. We are going to go down fast and it will all be because of Obama and his mindless brain dead drones!

The Democrats are also talking about the federal government taking over everyone's 401 K programs so that they can "insure" them! Just like they insured Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Social Security, I guess?! Thanks drones!


Hey, but at least Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin,....will get booted off the air! Yeah! Free speech? Who fucking needs it anyway?! Thanks drones!

The One will tell us all how to think, save, contribute, and work! Thanks drones!


Rahm Emanuel? Now there's some "change" we can believe in! Thanks drones!


I am gonna laugh myself silly when the whole shithouse goes up in flames. So please allow me to say TIA drones!!! 



Our country will be broke and completely emasculated, but hey, at least Europe will like us! Thanks drones!

Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

November 5, 2008 | Issue 44•45


WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."

Oh boy there you go again, Glenny.  Anyone who doesn't agree as you do has a frivolous attitude and is clueless. 


I think you would benefit greatly from a few classes on dealing  with diversity or "how to win friends and influence people"!

"Dealing with diversity"??? WTF??? I'll take the Dale Carnegie course when you take an economics course. I'm sorry if I've offened you but it does seem like many frivolous & clueless people voted (have you SEEN the "Obama's gonna pay my mortgage & buy me a microwave" woman) & successful people are gonna pay the price & then this country generally will pay a price. Thanks a fucking lot.
