Whatever. Good whatever-time-it-is-where-you-are!
Guess what is in the news this morning? Obama, Obama II, The Obama Strikes Back, Return of Obama, Son of Obama, Revenge of Obama, Return of the Son of the Revenge of Obama. Oh, and Obama.
So, apparently the liberals in the administration have this belief that Americans are children. Gee, project much? And hey, what morning would be complete without pointing out something stupid said by our good friend Rabbit Bait, huh?
Anyway, I'm sure you all have better things to do with your time, than to sit there and read my pathetic ramblings, so as always, this is an open thread.
Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to shave my dog's butt and teach it to walk backwards. Or work on the new website. One of the two.
UPDATE (C2): Please, help me with this. We've all heard about this interview by now, but if you haven't seen it, please watch. Obama (at :45) calls current healthcare premiums "effectively, a tax increase" (is it me?), but famously now goes on to challenge the dictionary definition of "tax", as presented by Stephanopoulos and accuses him of "stretching". This is unbelievable.
Mr. President, I hear the Ford dealer down the street is hiring.
Update (RB)... "uh... uh... it uh... uh... uh..." - Obama
Well, at least The Dolphins dominated the clock.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, you suggested good news posts and links. Going to have to go hunting for some of that. May have to go into science and tech articles.

Tragically, they're already reporting 7 deaths. I suspect there will be more. The forecast is showing rain every day through Sunday.
Iran develops 'new generation' uranium enrichment centrifuge
ReplyDeleteAccording to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the end of August, the Islamic Republic increased the number of centrifuges at its uranium enriching plant in Natanz to 8,300 from 7,000 reported in June.

ReplyDeleteHers's a question for you tech guys.
ReplyDeleteA couple of weeks ago, I got a virus on this computer that took me days to get rid of. The only way I could get rid of it was by using Windows Live Onecare.
Starting yesterday, the computer won't shut down through the start menu or using task manager. The only way to shut down is by holding down the power button. When I start it back up, I don't get the message that windows wasn't shut down properly though.
I work in KY and all my IT guys are in Ca. Any suggestions other than packing the computer up and sending to CA?
Nothing else seems to be affected by this!

JCM: And they can't figure out why working people are fleeing the state in droves, only to be replaced by unskilled immigrants who demand more social services. Pretty soon even cheap labor will be in excess supply, because there will be no rich people in need of gardeners, maids, pool boys, and drivers.
ReplyDeletedoppel,
ReplyDeleteWA is only 2 years behind CA, our deficit is per capita just as big. Only the WA legislature managed to fiddle the books and punt the issue down the road.
OR is also in deep doo doo.
The entire west coast unless drastic action taken. When it all folds it will be just as the rest of the country is pull itself back up, and the coast will drag it all back down again.
JCM: It's not called the Left coast for nothing. Eventually they will be left behind.
ReplyDeleteJCM said...
ReplyDeleteSo what are geniuses who run the state up to?
"The practical effect, however, would be to remove TVs with screens 40 inches or bigger from the market."
Effin' California.
Hard to believe some of the crap they come up with.
JCM, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Like most people, I've changed my position on many issues over the years, based on new information or seeing a different perspective. Lefties seem completely unable to recognize the consequences of their actions and adapt accordingly.

ReplyDeleteSo Obamabots think Americans are like a bunch of petulant teenagers.
ReplyDeleteWell, I suppose there is some truth to that, though the most petulant ones I've seen are on the left. They were the ones holding their breath (at least until the smoke expanded too far) and stamping their Birkenstocks until the war ended and the environment was cleaned up and the dinosaurs restored to their rightful place as lords of the planet.
A bit of projection going on there from the totalitarians?
Problem is that they keep filling in the paperwork correctly.
ReplyDeleteThe most important part of any bureaucracy..
And to create more of it.
Lucius,
ReplyDeleteOf course we are petulant teenagers. We're rejecting older wiser people who only wish to do the very best for us.
//
The cycle of bureacracy:
ReplyDelete1) Find a problem; if there isn't one, invent one. Dim actresses can help when they're not taking their clothes off are in rehab.
2) Make a big push to Congress and the president about the need to fix the problem last week. Be sure to blame the previous administration for the problem, so long as it was from the other party.
3) Appoint department head.
4) Department head says problem is way too big to tackle with existing staff and budget.
5) Scream that the problem hasn't been solved yet and that the People (i.e. dim naked stoned starlets) want it fixed. Suggest that incumbants might be in danger if they don't fix it.
6) Spend the budget increase on more staff.
7) Point out that your staff is too big to manage, so you need to hire more staff to manage the staff you have.
8) Make public statements touting a new program. Make sure that the program has clear, but totally artificial bench marks. Move bench back so you can make the bench marks. Hold press conference to advertise your success.
9) Send press release touting success, but stressing need for additional funding to tackle problem to the NYT. Get on FreshAir and have Terry Gross exhale damply about the need for more money.
10) Spend money on more staff.
11) Complain that you need more staff to manage your staff and initiate new programs.
12) Never, ever, ever let anyone solve the problem.
Reading all those stories, btw, it sounds like Obama is running around trying to do everything. Meanwhile no one, especially on the world stage, is taking him seriously, except for a handful of bureaucrats, news people, and party hacks, and I'm not sure how long he can keep them.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Carter part two. Get money in t-bills -- double-digit inflation on the way.
The new cycle of bureaucracy.
ReplyDelete1) Find a problem; if there isn't one, invent one.
2) Call it a crisis that requires and immediate solution that requires 1000 page bills with blank pages presented hours before a vote which no body has read.
3) Tell everyone they will have to sacrifice (the new word for taxes).
4) Pass bill, six month later when nothing has really been done claim credit for saving the world.
5) All the bureaucracy created continues in perpetuity.

Giants, eh? I am digging on my man Mario -- I'm glad to see he's doing so well. Now you just need to get some more of those Wolverine wide receivers -- Edwards and Breasted -- in there for the little Manning to toss to.
Hey {real}.

Hiya, CC.
ReplyDeleteMornin' back atcha.
Hey real, welcome back. How was the dentist visit?
ReplyDeleteSQUATCH! Good to see you this morning!
ReplyDeleteHey, {all y'all}
ReplyDeleteObama should spend less time on t.v. and more time doing his fricken job. 5 Sunday morning shows? Letterman? Give me a break.
Howdy all! The dentist visit was both painful and not productive - the dentist still doesn't
ReplyDeleteknow what's causing the pain, but I have another appoitnment on Oct6th to see the Dentist and her much more experienced dentist partner!
And {J.D.} a special welcome and hello to you!
Hope you're well.
And Lucius, I have no damn idea why Typepad is doing that; the first week or so that this temporary blogspot was up, TypePad identified me as "realwest" then after a week or so, then gave me a number and took away my name!!
So now I'm obliged to put realwest in my comments just so folks know it's me!
Hi Saquastch! Hope you're doing well today?

Good morning, er afternoon to you CC - this be realwest regardless of how Typepad ID's me!
ReplyDeleteHope you're well!
And Hi {red} sure wish the last time we saw Obama on TV was on January 20, 2009 but apparently no one told him the elections over, he won and to stop campaigning!

Night and day.

ReplyDeleteMine too! I mean, it wasn't that unorganized to begin with, but there were stray bits and pieces of paper collecting, and it was getting out of hand. But, I took care of that.
Yeah, I hope that the partner finds the source of the pain and can fix it relatively inexpensively, but I just gotta "hang on" unti fricking OCTOBER 6th to find out.
ReplyDeleteWell, someone always graduates at the bottom of their class and you still call 'em Doctor(h/t Bill Cosby).
I wish they would both just shut up.
ReplyDeleteLast paragraph:
The White House said it was a good way for him to reach yet another audience as Obama wraps up a blitz of TV appearances, trying mainly to build support for his health care plan.
As president, Obama also went on NBC's "Tonight" show when it was hosted by Jay Leno.
You mean he hasn't reached all the audiences with all his other coverage?
Mine too! I mean, it wasn't that unorganized to begin with, but there were stray bits and pieces of paper collecting, and it was getting out of hand. But, I took care of that.

ReplyDelete:)
ROFL..worst...commercial...ever !
ReplyDeleteYeah! Do I poop in the woods? Is the pope catholic?
I am physically tired from arguing about healthcare with ignorant people. I am just about to throw up my hands and be done with them. Young people are the worst. I know lots of 20 something's who do not have insurance BY THEIR CHOICE. They just don't get it when I tell them that their new and improved government run healthcare is going to cost them.
ReplyDeleteHey PaladinPhil - realwest here! - "You mean he hasn't reached all the audiences with all his other coverage?"
ReplyDeleteNope he missed all those Fox Viewers and Fox was "reduced to" reporting on the snippets of conversation that they could get from the other networks!
Paladin Phil
ReplyDelete"You mean he hasn't reached all the audiences with all his other coverage?"
He hasn't reached me. I refuse to watch him.
But hey, at least it's not a tax. Obama told me so.
ReplyDeleteThe individual mandate is in Title IV of HR 3200. It amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by adding a new Part VIII … Health Care Related Taxes. Here’s a sample:
“SEC. 59B. TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
(a) Tax Imposed- In the case of any individual who does not meet the requirements of subsection (d) at any time during the taxable year, there is hereby imposed a tax equal to 2.5 percent of the excess of — (1) the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year, over `2) the amount of gross income specified in section 6012(a)(1) with respect to the taxpayer.”
What color is the sky in Obama's world, anyway?
I just posted (in an update) Obama's interview with Stephanopoulos - it's just unbelievable. I went looking for the clip where he challenges the dictionary definition of "tax" - but there's another gem in there. He calls current healthcare premiums a "effectively, a tax increase".
ReplyDeleteWhat a bullshit artist. It's breathtaking.
(Can someone please explain to me how healthcare premiums as they exist today are a "tax increase"? Maybe it's me.)
Hello to "6p00e55005f9c78834" the blogger formerly known as realwest.
ReplyDeleteI hope your doing fine today?
Bare, if you have a second (I know you're swamped), please watch the vid - at least the beginning.
ReplyDeleteAt :45, he calls healthcare premiums "effectively, a tax increase".
What am I missing?
Hey {red} - "He hasn't reached me. I refuse to watch him."
ReplyDeleteNow what kind of attitude is that - he IS the President of the United States! Do what I do, watch Fox News coverage and when they show him talking press the mute button and make up the speech he should be giving!
Much more palatable that way!
Course, I don't even watch Fox that often either, and NatGeo and HGTV don't run any news or politics, a refreshing way to watch TV and veg out!

Running Windows XP Pro
The company loaded McAfee and Symantec which where infected along with all other programs.
I had to get Windows Live OneCare, uninstall both McAfee and Symantec and reload them to fix the problem. Everything worked fine until yesterday, when the computer failed to shut down properly. Doesn't since to cause any problems doing other tasks or running programs.
What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteYou aren't missing anything. One of the follwing things is a tax, and one of them isn't. Guess which one is:
1. You choose to pay for insurance, and pay for it via premiums.
2. You choose not to pay for insurance, so the government requires you to pay the government a amount of money based on your income, and if you dont' pay they can arrest/imprison you.

Iran downs strange bright craft over Persian Gulf
ReplyDelete"Glowing objects were sighted over the Persian Gulf. IRGC air defense targeted one of the objects successfully, forcing it to plummet and sink in the seas off Boushehr (Province)," said top regional commander, Brigadier Ali Razmjou.
"The three bright objects were detected by our radars when flying over the Persian Gulf Islands of Khark and Khargou," he added, according to a Monday report posted on IRNA.
3 bright objects ?
Well, we know it couldn't have been Pelosi,Reid, and Biden then...

ReplyDeleteHe uses shills at the town halls, tell fake tear jerker stories.
It much more akin to the snake oil sales riding into town.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I've been trying to explain to the uninsured. They just look at me.
No expression.
Mouth agape.
Eyes clouded by denial.
Kind of shell shocked.
I can't believe he did that, you guys. I'm just in shock.
ReplyDeleteHe called something that isn't a tax, a tax. Then he challenged the definition of tax as it exists in the dictionary.
Then he accused Steph of "stretching"!
It's unreal. No wonder Joe Wilson couldn't hold back. Sheesh. The guy just lies right to your face.
Hey Running Bare: "What color is the sky in Obama's world, anyway?"
ReplyDeleteGreen, as in currency green - cause all the money he wants for all the programs he insists we need is gonna fall from the sky like manna.
I have NO IDEA where the hell else he's gonna get that money since, even with the "stimulus package" we are still running unemployment at a rate of something like 9.7% nationwide and far worse than that in many individual states so the IRS isn't gonna be able to raise much money from taxing the unemployed.
Not to even MENTION the UNDEREMPLOYED.
What was that crap about Michelle saying that one of the girls might have had meningitis (or something) and all she could think was, "Thank God, we have insurance."
ReplyDeleteMy bullshit detector is going off loud and clear!
Hey Top. It could be that some program or service on your computer is interfering with the ability for Windows to ShutDown. I've seen this problem before with various software packages, such as naturally Speaking, McAfee, Norton, and others.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is figuring out which piecce of software or service that is running is the culprit.
I got the feeling, by the way, at :45 in the vid that he was thinking, "Hey, they're paying the money already...why shouldn't we be getting it, instead of the insurance companies?"
ReplyDeleteSee? It's a tax. You can pay it to the insurance company, or you can pay it to the nice looking man in the expensive suit with the flashy smile.
Gah!
It uhh... uh... is uhhh uhhh... most certainly uh not a uh tax.
ReplyDeleteHey Top - y'all need much better help than my limited technical resources will allow. But you need to be careful about powering down like that (the tech's I've talked to said they call it "Crash Diving") cause you can screw up
ReplyDeleteor burn out the motherboard. Same damn thing happened to me with Windows XP-Pro - and since Best Buy/Geek squad tried to get me a new motherboard THREE times and each one was bad (One of 'em had a capacitor fall off the Motherboard when the tech opened the shiny silver paper package!). That's how I wound up with a new VISTA system - and a much better computer to boot!
What a liar. It's unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteIt's unreal. No wonder Joe Wilson couldn't hold back. Sheesh. The guy just lies right to your face.

Hey CC.
ReplyDeleteAre we preparing for "One World Order" via Obama?
CC,
ReplyDeleteSomething else he has his eye on.
Insurance company reserves. A lot of that "evil profit" insurance companies make goes into reserves so that have liquid capital to make payouts. The reserves are mandated by law. Another little secret of those profits is a chunk don't know how much is interest on those reserves.
I can't believe anyone takes him seriously, Jorline.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world must Stephanopoulos be thinking?
Hey Kenneth! Hi there (this is realwest!) I started to read those responses and decided I had been right all along: Obama doesn't want more of OUR troops to fight and maybe die, so he wants your Canadian troops to do even more fighting and dying instead.
ReplyDeleteBottom line is Obama doesn't recognize the dangers of the Taliban. Bush knew that Al-Q, as long as it had a safe haven in Afghanistan, could go ahead and plan, recruit, train and finance things like 9/11 (for which bin Laden took full credit on a video tape) so Bush did what the Mighty (at the time) Soviet Union couldn't do in 10 years; we took over Afghanistan in 9 weeks. Then Bush changed his focus (and troops) to Iraq and killed Al-Q's "Foreign Fighters" by the truckload so they decided to attack unarmed MUSLIMS. This so pissed of the Iraqi people, that they started turning over the hideouts of Al-Q and it's "friends" to us and we killed even more of them.
If Obama doesn't understand that we can't let the Taliban take back Afghanistan so Al-Q can't do what it did before, I fear we will have another 9/11 type of attack here in the U.S. That Obama doesn't seem to get that is the most disturbing thing about his presidency to me (among MANY disturbing things about his presidency).
JCM, no doubt.

Redstate, thanks for spreading the word. I know all about the wilderness ...glad to be out of it myself ...and in such wonderful company!

ReplyDeleteMy gag reflex kicked in when I opened it.
JCM: My eyes, my eyes!
ReplyDeleteSheesh ....where were the ladies with whips and chains keeping things in order??
I don't like wandering the wilderness without a home.
ReplyDeleteI like it here. Boobs, libations, Helen Thomas and all.....
:')
In case anyone is wondering... Having a few "technical issues' with the "Quote" feature. Mostly layout/appearance stuff - I'm being a perfectionist. (I have to be, or CC will moiderize me in my sleep)
ReplyDeleteBoobs, libations, Helen Thomas and all.....
ReplyDeleteThere's something very wrong with that sentence .....

One thing does not belong with the others. Which one is it?

ReplyDeleteIt was total bull, and to make it worse, the ever-angry Michelle claimed it another time, but a different version.
As a mother and grandmother, and retired RN, to me there is nothing more despicable that using 2 little daughters like that.
Thank G-d it was a vile lie, to gain sympathy, but more to try and flog The One's horrific Socialist/Communist 'health care' plan.
To use your own kids like that? She should thank G-d they are healthy, and her high-paying job was, IIRC, at a hospital in Chicago, where she pushed insurance for the poor into the dumpster.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Pinky!

ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised?
Hi Atilla, Ny Nana. Finally we are getting the pepole in here.
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting link about Carbon emissions. Apparently they have dropped this past year. Something to do with a recession?
/good news though, forcast to increase when the recession is over.

Okay, it was kind of a run-on sentence that should have been structured differently.
Sorry if I gave anyone a mental image scar.
:')
Very very nice, Atilla, thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting email piled up in the inbox. I'm wading through it.
Nana!
ReplyDelete:')
Nana,
ReplyDeleteBesides, Michelle and Barack can't get the story straight.
When I first heard Michelle tell the story I was LMAO, cause no one with a sick kid first thought is about what would happen if they didn't have insurance. It's about the kid, and making them feel better.
I don't know Chicago but Seattle has Children's Hospital, a world class pediatric hospital. Guess what? They'll treat any child, period end of story. They raise tons of money just to cover the charity work.
Phil:
ReplyDeleteFinally we are getting the pepole in here.

Pink: The republicans should hammer on this point in the next election cycle. The flip flopping of this is insane. All to try and keep a republican representing the state in Congress. Maybe people will finally wake up and get mad.
ReplyDeletePaladin
ReplyDeleteOh, just wait. I'm starting to read about subsidizing birth control in order to limit human population.
I wonder if we suggest we just pay for castration - that's a one off, yes? - how people would think about it then?
Pink,
ReplyDeleteI am from Taxachusetts, and would have been shocked if it had not gone that way.
Sad.
No We Can't - Talk!
ReplyDeleteEverybody is saying no to the American president these days. And it's not just that they're saying no, it's also the way they're saying no.
The Saudis twice said no to his request for normalization gestures towards Israel (at Barack Obama's meeting with King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia, and in Washington at meetings with Hillary Clinton). Who says no to the American president twice? What must they think of Obama in the desert kingdom?
The North Koreans said no to repeated attempts at talks, by test-launching long-range missiles in April; Russia and China keep on saying no to tougher sanctions on Iran; the Iranians keep saying no to offers of talks by saying they're willing to talk about everything except a halt to uranium enrichment; Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is saying no by refusing to meet with Binyamin Netanyahu until Israel freezes all settlement construction; the Israelis said no by refusing to agree to a settlement freeze, or even a settlement moratorium until and unless the Arabs ante up their normalization gestures. Which brings us back to the original Saudi no.
The only thing Obama did manage to get Bibi and Abbas to say yes to is a photo-op at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NY. Mazel tov.
Hahahaha! I think I'm going to start reading the foreign press more often. WAY more fun!

I believe when Sasha got sick Michelle and the girls were in Hawaii.
Not that it makes a difference.
Phil: Democrat. They've gotta have their Dem. "It's for the chilllldren!"
ReplyDeleteNana ....I think the pepole of Mass may be waking up. I know a few from there.
ReplyDeleteJCM
ReplyDeleteAny ER has to treat people. It's the law. That's why you have to wait 8 hours at the ER. Most of the folks there are using it as their primary care physician.
We have peep holes here?
ReplyDeletePepole, who need pepole,
ReplyDeleteAre the luckiest pepole!
Phil:
ReplyDelete'Something to do with a recession?'
There's a recession? Who knew? I don't think that the Albore cretins figured this into the equation.
Can we ship Albore to the Arctic in a bathing suit?
Seriously, I just cannot buy his alleged global warming crap.
Sage: Why of course, how do you think I know everything that's happened while I was gone?
ReplyDelete*hangs head* I don't think I am going to live down that misspelling.
ReplyDelete/oh woe is me, woe I say, woe....
//captcha litch. cool, I actually know what that means. D&D geekdom rocks.
Power to the pepoles!
ReplyDeleteNY Nana: Sure we could do that. As long as we fill out the proper toxic waste disposal paperwork. I don't think the polar bears would touch him.

No, no, no....this is a happy place. :')
redstateredneck,
ReplyDeleteThat's EMTALA, which requires everyone be treated, including illegals. Neither HR3200 or the Bacus bill repels EMTALA.
Seattle's Children's goes even farther. Full treatment for any child. And it a world class center especially for oncology.
The point being to MRO's story about Shasha. I don't know anywhere where a 3 or 4th old child lying in ER with a diagnoses and no insurance is going to get set home. It doesn't happen.
My adopted daughter easily ran up $250,000 - $300,000 in bills her 2 months in the NICU. She was born to a homeless insuranceless mother. The only criteria for her care was medical need, not who was going to pay.
The Obama's are lying through their teeth.
Just like Obama lied about Otto Raddatz dying because he was denied insurance coverage.
Regarding Geert Wilders, I have a hard time taking seriously any man who would do that to his hair. He reminds me of the driver of the Mambo taxi.
ReplyDeleteJCM
ReplyDeleteThere was a story in the WaPo Metro section about a year ago about a young boy who died because he didn't have insurance. He had an abcessed tooth that led to a systemic infection, etc.
The whole thing was bullshit. Yes, the boy died and yes the family had no insurance. But no where did it address the fact that he would have been treated regardless had his mother just got him to the frikkin' hospital.
LS
ReplyDeleteMAMBO TAXI?
I. Am. So. Clueless.
I like him. I disagree with him absolutely about the book banning issue, but a man who asserts his right to speak out knowing he'll have to live under armed guard for the rest of his life - I don't care if his hair is purple.
Come on pepoles now, smile on your brother...
ReplyDeleteAttila
ReplyDeleteMakes a better story without the part about the mother not seeking treatment for the child.
/lying a-holes!
Phil,
ReplyDeleteIt's a deal. The polar bears would go into hibernation to avoid him, and the Inuit would move to another area.
How anyone actually believes him is a total mystery to me.
BBIAB....
Gotta hop - stuff to do.
ReplyDeleteAnd whoever that is grabbing my ass - you're left handed aren't you?

From my brief look-see, Atilla, NoParasan looks like an interesting site. Bookmarked.
ReplyDeleteI guess some insurance policies do deny medical treatment....
ReplyDeleteDying Woman Denied.......
Who's the villain?
Blue Cross?
Kaiser?
In July, Gundlach was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The doctor told her she had 6 months to 2 years to live.
[]
"If I could just get this medication," Gundlach said.
Gundlach is one of the 46 million uninsured americans we all keep hearing about. So she turned to the government for help. In turn she and her mother say they've been treated like criminals trying to scam the system.
"Yes all the time and that hurts too because I'm being honest and it hurts," Gundlach said.
After initially being denied, Gundlach got social security disability. That pays her 866 dollars a month and the family thought she would start receiving medicaid.
"We were really excited oh we can get an appointment, we can get her in to see an MS specialist, get her some medication, start physical therapy," Gundlach's mother said.
But none of that can happen now. Gundlach's medicaid was denied. Why? Now that she receives about $10,000 a year from social security she makes too much money.
Opps....
Medicad....

ReplyDeleteIn Mississippi, if you get SSI you automatically are eligible for Medicaid. Guess it varies from state to state. I know the amount of income that qualifies or disqualifies varies.
Squatch! How ya doin!? You've been keeping an eye on things while I was gone? :-)
