And it’s time to ask the all important question:  Have you done your taxes yet?

There are some people who get their taxes done early and there are others who wait until the very last minute to do them.  Yadda yadda yadda.  You know who you are.

As for me, I did not have to file any, since I have not made a dime last year.  Having invested in the most expensive plaque that you could hang on the wall of your den, my Journalism degree has not found me anything at all.  And this was all at my parent’s expense.  I compare writers to artists, since their disposition is very much the same.  If they can’t sell their work, they will starve to death.

But this blog is not about my unfortunate disposition in being unable to break into the prodigious writing industry.  It is about me, blathering on and on about the latest political headlines that I can get my hands on.  It is about me, entertaining you with my witty banter and razor sharp sarcasm.  It is about me throwing myself to the edge of insanity with my outlandish remarks  and….yeah, you get the point.

Staying on topic, tomorrow is when those taxes are due.  There will also be tea parties going on around the country.  There will be plenty to watch tomorrow, indeed. Why am I going through the hassle of typing this? Heck.  Nobody reads this crap anyways.  The only audience I have here is some crickets and some dead pig corpses from my earlier posts.  With that, I will just say goodbye…to myself.

Dang, I need a publicist.

It was a showdown, but we got ’em good! The Somali Pirates should’ve thought twice about messing with us. The bottom line: We won, and the captain is safe.  Let’s hear it for the U.S. Navy!

With the Easter weekend approaching, I will be resuming Monday.  Until then, have a great Good Friday.

The Somali pirates still have one of our captains hostage, and we aren’t leaving until we get him back. Go Navy! Make those thieving bilge rats sorry they ever plundered our ship and kidnapped our captain.  They’ll rue the day they ever decided to sail the seven seas….

Now this is just outrageous. Microsoft,  of all companies, is building a bridge using some of the stimulus money.

Microsoft is getting some serious criticism these days, following disclosures that the federal stimulus package would help pay for a bridge connecting the company’s two campuses in Redmond, Wash. The 480-foot overpass is being described as a “shovel-ready” project that would ease local congestion, reports ComputerWorld. Microsoft is contributing $17.5 million of the cost and the federal government is planning on adding $11 million.

With Microsoft being one of the wealthiest companies in the world, I think they should pay for the whole bridge themselves.  Heck.  We pay for pretty much most of their products that we use on our computers (of course, with the exception of the Mac users).

Why should we have to pay for their bridge? Other companies like Sears and Nintendo will be getting a free ride on this bridge as well, all at the goverment and Microsoft’s expense.  Microsoft should be paying for the whole thing,  but were unable to resist having the government pick up part of the tab.

With Microsoft Bridge 2009 in place, I can only hope for one thing — there better not be any bugs in it.

Mr. Obama, if it’s anything you should be apologizing about, it’s for amassing a debt greater than the total debt from George Washington to George W. Bush.  Or perhaps it should be for breaking your campaign promises that you made to your democratic compatriots.

Furthermore, you should apologize to every person, every child, and every grandchild that will have to pay for the debt that you gave this country.  None of the apologies that you gave to Europe and Turkey were necessary. Are you apologizing for our success? Our arrogance?  In keeping this world safe from terrorism, I would not call this arrogance.  Killing Zarqawi, capturing Saddam Hussein, liberating Iraq from a tyrannical dictator….This is the furthest thing from arrogance.

The United States was the most kind, and the most benevolent country the world has ever seen.  What reason would Obama have to apologize? Obama apologized because of the adulation and praise he craved from each country he visited on his European tour.  It was one big ego trip.  Unforunately, some countries didn’t receive him so well.

I am tired of the apologies.  They are not necessary considering our track record with the rest of the world.  And if you must apologize, apologize to America for ruining this country.

Is President Obama out of his mind? Right after North Korea launches a rocket, he made a call for a world without nukes.

Just hours after North Korea launched a long-range rocket, President Barack Obama called for “a world without nuclear weapons” and said the United States has a “moral responsibility ” to lead the way, as the only nation ever to use them.

As Obama’s first step in this direction, he wants to get rid of our nuclear weapons.   What really astounds me is how the liberal politicians are able to function without a brain.  I think it’s  a prerequisite.  That, or a disease.

The Stupidity Epidemic runs rampant in Washington, with no doctor with enough experience in their field of practice to cure them. Does Obama really think that other countries are going to dispose of their nuclear weapons?  Countries like Iran, China, North Korea, Russia, and Sudan?  Obama so bad wants to play “follow the leader”, but none of these countries will follow suit.  If anything, these countries will point their fingers at us and laugh.

I am afraid that Obama doesn’t value our security and is living in some kind of fantasy world.  I don’t think he understands that those nukes are this country’s vitally important means of defense against politically unstable countries.  In giving up our nukes, we would be raising the white flag of surrender. Now after being in office for nearly 11 weeks, this would have to be one of the most outright stupid decisions Obama has ever made in his presidency.  Okay, he has made several stupid decisions, but this one has earned a spot on a David Letterman top ten list.

What is Obama going to do with the football, that black suitcase that allows him to launch a nuclear weapon at any given time?  Maybe he’ll just deactivate it, and make America a much more dangerous place to live.  Having the ability to launch a nuke anytime and giving that up would be irresponsible and the worst form of treachery. Just as Queen Victoria has said before, I will say it again.  We are not amused.

Does Obama really think that the Queen will listen to an iPod with a playlist like this?  First of all, Obama doesn’t even know what music the Queen is into.  Heck.  She could be into the Beetles or the Rolling Stones and he wouldn’t even have a clue. When all things are said and done, I think that the Queen will go back to her 6 GB silver iPod Mini.  At least her own playlist is on there, and when it comes to iPods,  no playlist is better than your own playlist. The Queen would know, and Obama should know better.

Or at least tea labels for that matter.   It’s clear common sense not to send a tea bag to Washington, for they would suspect the foreign substance in the bag to be something other than tea.  Anthrax, drugs, or  some weapon of bioterrorism.

Now don’t get me wrong, as I would not subject myself to such an atrocity. My Tea Party package consisted of a letter, expressing my outrage concerning the wasteful spending, fiscal irresponsibility, and unrelenting narcissism in Congress.  It contains my pent-up rage, which clearly explains the mood of the American people.  It clearly tells them how I am tired of Stimulus.  Tired of Omnibus.  Tired of them usurping our power.  Of bankrupting our future, and the future of our children.

Furthermore, it explains how I am fed up with the oppressive tyranny that is being forced on the American people.  How they plan on limiting our freedom, and dictating how we are to think and act as Americans.  It says how I am tired of the liberals in Washington pursuing their own self-interests, when they should be pursuing the interests of We, the American people.  It gives a clear statement to the liberal politicians in Washington that we want to take back what’s ours.   To be returned what was stolen.  To rebuild what was broken.  To establish and restore every last vestige that made America great.

And all this was expressed in my letter in just 10 words:  WE’RE MAD AS HELL AND WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now 43 exclamation points is a lot of rage to send to Washington.

Getting back on track, the Tea Party package also had a Lipton tea label stapled to each of the 3 letters I sent.  One was sent to Senator Carl Levin.  The second was sent to Senator Debbie Stabenow.  The last one was sent to President Barak Obama. With the rage-filled letters sent, and the thousands they will get from other Americans, the letters will serve one of two purposes.  They will either change their ways, or use our letters as fire fuel.

I’m suggesting the latter, and am now wondering if spending $1.26 was worth it.

Call it a hunch,  but I feel that this G20 summit is not going to solve our financial woes. While Obama and 19 other world leaders are gearing up to “solve the world’s problems”,  thousands are protesting in the streets of London.

Thousands of angry demonstrators rallied in London Wednesday on the eve of a G20 summit on the global economic crisis, as police deployed in force. Amid bright spring sunshine, demonstrators rallied to causes ranging from helping the world’s poor, action against climate change and punishing those reponsible for the current downturn. “It’s our money they’ve stolen” read a placard branded outside the Bank of England, as huge crowds gathered in the City to protest Thursday’s summit. One protestor dressed as the Grim Reaper led the rally to the central bank, where demonstrators chanted: “Build a bonfire, build a bonfire. Put the bankers on the top. “Put (Prime Minister) Gordon Brown in the middle. And then burn the … lot,” they added.

Do you think that these demonstrators know something about what’s going on?  For one thing,  Gordon Brown is not well liked, and he’s buddy-buddy with President Obama.   The other issue at hand is that these people have lost money, and they want it back.

What’s worse than having one Obama is having two Obamas: The original and one with British flair.  The prime minister,  of course, is only part of the issue. While the pandemonium continues on the streets, 20 nations meet behind closed doors, discussing “solutions” to the world’s financial woes.   One of their solutions is a global currency, something that the UN would just love to have implemented.

In addition to that, there would be a push for international regulation of the US economy. Call me crazy, but I don’t think that this summit is going to bring any solutions.  It will, however, eventually usher in an Orwellian age that no one is prepared for. Now I may be little ahead of myself, but something just doesn’t seem right with a throng of 4,000+ unruly people ravaging the streets of London.  With this unprecedented chaos, I don’t think French president Nicolas Sarkozy will be walking out on the summit.

The whole idea of this riot outside of the G20 summit is just shocking.  I guess some opposition was to be expected at this summit, but never at this level.  With the tensions rising here and in the UK, I guess they had it coming to them.  In implementing half-baked policies and engaging in wanton spending, both here and in Britain, this has escalated anger to its breaking point.  Fortunes have been lost and fiscal irresponsibility has come to an all-time high.   This has unleashed a pack of angry demonstrators to create the revolutionary shot heard around the world.  These people have had enough.

And along the lines of Twisted Sister “they’re not going to take it anymore”.  This is what happens when the people are ignored. Washington should be at their desks, vigorously taking notes.   There’s going to be a test.

President Obama just pulled a Donald Trump. Rick Wagoner, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, was asked to step down by the president.  This was clearly the way the Donald would do it, only he didn’t use the words “You’re Fired”. So there you go.

Obama is now going after the automobile industry.  He is going to use “government intervention” to help out GM.  That’s Obamaese for taking over the automobile industry.  You didn’t do anything quick enough.  So it’s time for us to take over. If Karl Marx was still alive, he would be jealous at the socialist agenda that our president is pushing.

Obama has set a record for spending the most money in history in just under a couple months.  Somebody call Guinness. If the government is going to take over the automobile industry, us chubby Americans better start losing weight.  We’re going to need it to be able to fit in the cars that we will all be mandated to drive.  GM will be forced to come out with their version of the Beetle.

It is official: General Motors is now Government Motors. Thank you Obama, for ruining the state that I live in.

This clearly explains my absence for much of the week.  Having a limited audience and hit count,  I have been searching for work.  As I have said before, this blog does not pay the bills. Thus ends another week.  Stay tuned for more news and updates, as I will be back on Monday. In the meantime, check my twitter for updates, as I keep it updated regularly. And now for a cheesy cliched quote from Terminator:  I’ll be bock.

That’s because the Obama Regime has successfully renamed it.  The “war on terror” has officially retired and is being renamed the  “Overseas Contingency Operation”.

More recently, we’ve noticed that Barack Obama and his aides have barely used “war on terror” at all, in favor of more broad terms like the “ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism.” But let’s face it: “Overseas Contingency Operation” does not exactly roll off the tongue. Just as “The artist formerly known as Prince” was always still “Prince,” the “war” will probably always be the “war.”

I bet you are all thrilled.  Let’s end the “Overseas Contingency Operation”!  It fits…so…well? Now wasn’t the Department of Homeland Security supposed to protect us from TERRORISM?  Oh! I just said the T-word! I better get a “mold consisting of anionic surfactant”.

With all the renaming going on here, I have decided to rename the Department of Homeland Security.  We will now call it the “Department of Political Nomenclature”. If this is what Washington does everyday, then we are doomed.  But hey! At least we have a catchy new name, right?

Thomas Paine is so angry that he came back from the dead to share this message with you: his very own stimulus package.

Well said, Thomas Paine. If America actually adopts this “common sense” and bashes Washington in the head with it, maybe then this country will start to change. And then Mr. Paine can go back to his grave and rest in peace.

It looks like our new Secretary of Homeland Security has a problem with the word terrorism.  Janet Napolitano, for some reason, just decided to not use the word anymore!

Contrast it with the new secretary of homeland security, Janet Napolitano, who, in her first speech and testimony to Congress, the same week as Mr. Mueller’s remarks, did not mention the word terrorism once. This week in an interview with Der Spiegel, she was pressed: “Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?” Her reply: “I presume there is always a threat from terrorism.” It’s true she didn’t use the word terrorism in her speech, but she did refer to “man-caused” disasters. “This is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear.”

I find this to be quite interesting.  Especially since the Obama Regime has used their own “politics of fear” on the American people.   You hear the word crisis being mentioned everywhere.  The economy was being talked down by President Obama.  Why did it go down? Fear.

Napolitano’s attempt to rename terrorism is a “man-caused disaster”. Is she going to rename other things commonly identified in our culture? Oh, that’s not a sandwich.  That’s filling between two slices of bread.  That’s not an airplane.  That’s a winged flying apparatus.  That’s not a crime.  That’s an insubordination to authority.

If Napolitano can rename terrorism, two can play at that game.  I have renamed “administration”, when specifially referring to Obama’s presidency.   Instead, I use the word regime, since this is a more fitting term for the people in Obama’s Cabinet. Washington, you never cease to amuse me.

After almost two consecutive weeks of technical difficulties, my blog is finally alive and well.

For those of you who are curious about what those technical difficulties are, here is what happened.  As a technoid geek novice, I single-handedly screwed up my blog when I was updating my WordPress.  Pretty noobish thing to do, eh?

To make a long story short, my “tech support” was able to fix my mistakes and now we’re back online.

Well, after nearly two weeks of inactivity in the political realm,  I am just itching to spread my bloggy goodness all over the blogosphere. Get ready, Washington, because the real fun is about to start.

A well respected high-octane booyah to CNBC reporter Jim Cramer.  Some of you are well familiar with his popular show “Mad Money”, on CNBC. As Rick Santelli has already done with expressing his frustration with President Obama’s policies and organizing his Chicago Tea Party, Cramer has had enough.  He is tired of what Obama is doing to the economy.

In Cramer’s recent piece, he says “I’m uncomfortable being in the crosshairs of columnists and comedians I enjoy, and I find the embrace of Rush Limbaugh most certainly strange”.  Good for you, Cramer.  You are actually starting to understand what is going on in this country.  Just know that the liberals are attacking you because you are being effective in representing the voice of the American people.

In joining the other side, your best friends are now your worst enemies.  It makes me wonder if they were your friends to begin with. Two years ago, during the golden age of the economy, I can remember watching Mad Money.  Cramer was on fire and full of energy, telling people the best stocks to invest in, every once in a while interjecting his trademark “booyah!”  It was entertaining.  It was energizing.  Heck.  It was so fun to watch.

But now, the economy has headed south.  The bulls have been herded and the bears have come out of hibernation, throwing the party of a century.  Cramer has every right to be angry at Obama.

In ruining the economy, Obama ruined Mad Money.  I mean, what the heck is Cramer going to talk about for a whole hour?  To buy stocks that no one is buying and to sell like there’s no tomorrow? I hope the golden age returns, and I can hear Cramer shout “booyah!” again.

This could very well be the WORST gift given to a world leader in history. Last week, Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister met with President Obama and they exchanged gifts.

Before we get to the awful gift, we’ll start with the gift from the Prime Minister. Gordon Brown gave President Obama a pen holder that was carved from the very timbers of the sister ship of the HMS Resolute (an anti-slave ship).  The wood from this ship was used to make the “Resolute desk”, which is the President’s desk used in the Oval Office.  In addition to that, he gave Obama the framed commission for the HMS Resolute.  His third and last gift to President Obama was a seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill.

What did President Obama give to the Prime Minister?  Twenty-five American classic movies on DVD.  Now come on.  Anyone could just go down to Wal-Mart and get these movies.  Giving this kind of gift to the Prime Minister is an insult.  I consider it the equivalent of slapping someone across the face.  Okay.  There’s your gift. This is no surprise, considering how Obama sent the statue of Winston Churchill back to England.  That’s right.  The same statue that they gave to us.  Maybe he’ll return the biography to the Prime Minister as well.  It doesn’t seem like Obama likes Winston Churchill that much, does it?

Well Prime Minister, enjoy your movies.  That’s IF they can work on your DVD player over there.  We apologise for our president, who is not as gratuitous as he SHOULD be. I guess this is how Obama does diplomacy.  I wonder if he’ll buy more movies for the world leaders of France, Italy, or other nations.  Or, he may just settle with a fresh pair of socks.

Forget how bad the economy economy is doing.  Let’s talk about Rush! Oh, and forget about how we passed a bill that you, your kids, and your grandkids will all have to pay for.  And President Obama talking down the economy?  You can forget about that, too. Let’s just talk about Rush.  How he’s getting in the way of our plan for socialism.

That old windbag doesn’t need to be listened to.  Just ignore him.  Our “Messiah”, President Barack Obama commands it! Forget about how your retirement is going down the drain, and how we will shove the Omnibus Bill with 9,000 earmarks down your throats.  We don’t really care about your future.  We only care about advancing our political careers.

Oh wait!  You’re listening?  Forget we said that.  Yes, we care about your future very much.  That’s it.  Yeah. Forget about how we’re destroying jobs everyday and ruining prosperity.  Forget about how we plan to destroy capitalism once and for all.  And forget about the job that you just lost today. Let’s just talk about Rush.

Why does he want our president to fail?  Doesn’t he want our country to be successful?  Doesn’t he want us to control every aspect of your life?  He doesn’t.

Forget about listening to him.  Let’s make fun of him instead.  He is a threat to us and he must be stopped.  Let’s attack him and ultimately silence him. Forget about everything that’s going on in the economy.  Everything that we screwed up.  You don’t really care, do you?  Just forget everything that’s going on.  Let’s just talk about Rush Limbaugh, okay? Let’s hear it for the miscreants in Congress and the disdainful Obama Regime.  Those insolent hypocrites don’t have the kind of time to talk about what really matters in this country.  The only thing that matters to them right now is Rush Limbaugh.  Bush and Cheney are out of the picture, so they need SOMEONE to attack. What a lame attempt to distract us from what is really going on.

I have an idea!  Let’s talk about Paris Hilton!  Poor Paris isn’t getting the media coverage that she used to.  You would know that, wouldn’t you, Paris? We can just keep ignoring the economy and PRETEND we’re not in a recession.  Good advice,  Demmies.  Good advice.

UPDATE:  The Democrats really don’t have a lot of targets to go after.  This is the problem in the Republican party.  There isn’t enough voices out there.

All we have is two heavyweights like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity shaping the voice of conservatism in this country.  Now Rush can come off as rather radical, and at most, entertaining to the average listener.  It’s no wonder the Democrats have such easy targets.

Just go after Rush, Hannity, and Fox News, and the opposition is gone. Now the Republican party has made some mistakes in identifying themselves as moderates.  This move has harmed the party and is why they lost the election.  They can’t have conservatism by getting the media to like them and trying to act like Democrats.

For this party to survive, the Republicans will need to diversify their core values and beliefs of the party across the board.  Lower taxes and limited government.  No exceptions.  Not everyone wants to listen to a radical voice like Rush.  Instead, they may want to listen to a more intellectual voice, yet at the same time doesn’t compromise the values of conservatism.  This would offer a balance and would give the Democratic party more targets to shoot at.

The Republicans need to think outside the box.  Using talk radio only to formulate their strategy is a recipe for disaster. So they have two options: diversify or slowly watch themselves get marginalized by the Democrats over and over, until the voice of conservatism is snuffed out. If Rush and Hannity are their only hope for conservatism, then conservatism is doomed.

It is official, fellow citizens of the blogosphere.  The unofficially self-proclaimed leader of the GOP party, Rush Limbaugh wants to talk to President Obama!

Rush is giving him this offer, and he’ll even throw in the Presidential treatment. That’s right.  On Mr. Limbaugh’s expense, he will fly President Obama out to his studio on his own private jet. pick him up with a caravan of SUV’s, and will dine him with wagyu beef, the same $100 a pound stuff that they had at the White House for a couple parties.  Heck, he’ll even put him up in a five-star hotel!

All Rush wants to do is to have a conversation with the president, telling him his views and opinions on America.  How he got to where he was today.  And Rush will NOT do it at taxpayer’s expense.  He wants to pay for it, ALL of it, himself.

I’m starting to detect a trend here.  Sean Hannity too, wants to talk to President Obama.  He wants to meet with Obama and have a nice cold one together.  And Hannity would pay for the beer, not us! Wouldn’t it make since that the two largest voices of conservatism want to talk to the president?

There is no other opposition out there.  It is them, a small handful of talk radio hosts, and Fox News.  It is a bunch of ants running around, trying to fight an army of giants. And who am I rooting for?  I am rooting for the ants.  Go ants!  Fight for our colony!
