“It’s To Hurt Our President, And To Change Our Congress”

Posted on by

Uh: yes.

Here’s a bitty clue, Senator Boxer — and for all the other Demorats charging “conspiracy, conspiracy!”

The Republicans could no more organize much of anything these days than the Man In The Moon (two Republicans can keep a secret if one is dead). These “protests” are from Conservatives, people in the middle class and “moderates” as well — people who have the temerity to actually question the actions of DC. And the Demorat DC Power Structure can’t tolerate dissension.

It’s just peachy-nifty when Leftists protest; it’s outright treasonous and despicable when anyone else protests.

Washington, you are so about to be shocked even further. . .

Your Efficient Federal Government

Posted on by

Not long ago, I mailed a letter. I was paying a bill. I placed a US Postal Service “Forever” stamp on the upper right corner of the envelope, and my return address on the upper left portion.

Yes, I’m strange. I don’t allow anyone to have control over any of my accounts.

I want to control my fiscal accounts and what is removed from any of my accounts and when.

With that in mind, I recently paid my monthly mortgage.

This envelope was sent from my very small town down to the central Fornicalia (Sacramento) processing center.

The envelope was returned to my Postmaster with a “postage due” notice.

Luckily, because I live in a very small town, and I know her, my Postmaster took complete care of me. And the situation pissed her off as well. She took time to write this letter to me:

Dear ____:

This letter was returned to you today for more postage. It does have a Forever stamp and does not require an additional 2 cents. I have written a letter to (your bank) explaining the error. Should you have a problem with a late charge on this item, let me know and we will need to make it right. This is so embarrassing and makes me very angry that someone in Sacramento does not know that a Forever stamp is good “forever.”

I have enclosed a copy of the letter I sent to (your bank) and a copy of your letter.

Please accept my apology for this gross oversight.

Sincerely,

(My Postmaster)

P.S.
I sent a copy to my boss and he is letting the plant know.

________________________________________________

Ladies and gentlemen:

Let there be no mistake: this is the Federal Government that will be in charge of not the “small things” in your life like a single stamp — but in fact Your Physical Life with regard to ObamaKare.

This is a Federal Government that couldn’t even recognize one of their own Forever stamps.

I’m certain you can do your own –as I call it — Logical Extension.

Electric Cars: What’s The Point?

Posted on by

Nissan released a prototypical copy of their new all-electric vehicle — called the Leaf — this past Sunday. The Leaf is set for global production by 2012.

My question is this: why?

A burgeoning fleet of all electric cars will completely tank the electric grid in the United States.

Why would that occur, you ask?

Because the Religious Left has been doing its level best to ensure that electrical generation facilities are not built. They hate nuclear — the last nuclear power plant built in the US was the River Bend plant in Tennessee, in 1977.

They hate natural gas fired plants.

They hate coal fired plants.

Wind turbines kill birds — and are blazingly inconsistent and unreliable.

Solar power consumes and rends fallow vast amounts of ground, and their panels must be kept constantly clean.

Thermal power is, again, spotty and inconsistent.

Hydroelectricity requires dams. The Religious Left hate dams.

Therefore, America generally lacks sufficient electrical generation even for today’s needs. In Fornicalia, summer brownouts are common when temperatures reach the 100s.

The Religious Left oppose most all building of any infrastructure.

So: electric cars?

You’d best be prepared to have a nice gas-engined car as backup — despite the fact that:

The world economy cannot sustain any further rise in the oil price, the International Energy Agency’s chief economist warned as oil prices rose toward a record high for the year.

Fatih Birol told the Financial Times that prices higher than about $70 could dampen a world economic recovery.

You’d best think long and hard, America, before you purchase any full-electric vehicle; particularly if large amounts of people buy them.

This is a monster Epic Fail in the making.

Obama: Bend Over, Middle Class — That Means YOU!

Posted on by

Did anyone — anyone — actually think they were exempt from a Socialistic president if they had a job?

Here’s a shocker — hope you’re sitting down for this one. Gosh, let’s see: it only took slightly over six months before. . .

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s treasury secretary said Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit, and his chief economic adviser would not dismiss raising them on middle-class Americans as part of a health care overhaul.

As the White House sought to balance campaign rhetoric with governing, officials appeared willing to extend unemployment benefits. With former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan saying he is “pretty sure we’ve already seen the bottom” of the recession, Obama aides sought to defend the economic stimulus and calm a jittery public.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers both sidestepped questions on Obama’s intentions about taxes. Geithner said the White House was not ready to rule out a tax hike to lower the federal deficit; Summers said Obama’s proposed health care overhaul needs funding from somewhere.

“There is a lot that can happen over time,” Summers said, adding that the administration believes “it is never a good idea to absolutely rule things out, no matter what.”

Bend over, America — Our Hero is about to provide you with your first non-lubricated (Gosh, that would require oppressive amounts of medical capital to assuage your pain here!) Cash Colonoscopy.

But hey, you’re willing to Take One For The Team — right?

Bags

Posted on by

As most of my readers already realize, my training job was eliminated at EVOC (our Emergency Vehicle Operations Course) due to budgetary cuts. My department has, due to fiscal mismanagement, taken the brunt of monetary hits in terms of law enforcement departments in the entire state of Fornicalia. In a department formerly consisting of 2,000+ officers, we were tasked with making up 40% of our county’s deficit. Wholly unfair and egregious.

As a result, my department laid off 400 On-Call deputies and 200 full time deputies, effective tomorrow (as I write this), Saturday, August 1st.

Today I got a glimpse of what my department really thinks of its employees. And I was resoundingly disgusted on many levels.

I watched as, earlier, one opposite shift Sergeant “processed” his own laid-off troops out and was continually asking: “Did you leave your keys? What’s your radio serial number?”

And that was it. Leave your stuff. Get the hell out.

I was embarrassed, pissed, even shocked to a degree.

Until I realized: that Sergeant was himself getting demoted, effective Saturday, to a line-level deputy.

I’ve been working with two Lieutenants who are getting demoted and three Sergeants who are getting demoted.

My final hours today, Friday (as I write this) were devoted to collecting equipment from laid-off deputies whose true final day was today and had clearly expressed that they were calling in sick on their “real” final day, Saturday.

There were bags already prepared for me by administration staff. These bags had a piece of paper stapled to the outside where I was to collect very specific pieces of their issued equipment.
I took the time to talk to each and every one — though they didn’t know me, I was the “new Sergeant on deck.” And I processed their equipment, placed it into these bags, then helped them with their own personal bags as they cleaned out their lockers and hauled things to their cars.

No one else helped. None of the other Sergeants. None of the other Lieutenants. They were too busy taking each other to lunch.

And with each one I shook their hand and said, “On behalf of this department I would like to officially apologize for treating you in this fashion — and I would like to thank you for your service to this facility and to the people of this county. They have no idea what sacrifices you have made.”

Some were stalwart and resolute; they wore fixed glazes and simply stalked off. Some started to cry. Some wanted to talk to me about their brief careers. It took everything I had to not tear up and break my mien. But I believed it was my responsibility, my duty, to not only apologize for their despicable treatment but to commend them for their devotion and service.

I’ve just helped to kill my department’s finest generational future.

It turns my stomach, it makes me sick, to think that so many of my peers have turned these hopeful and wonderful kids into nothing more than PIN numbers and big grocery bags.

Their bags line the admin office walls.

This was one of the most depressing days of my life this year.
