Young Chuck in Montana went shopping for a horse. After visiting several local farmers he picked out a stout looking horse and paid $100 for it. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news... the horse died."

Chuck replied, "Well, then just give me my money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?" Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off." The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!" Chuck said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?" Chuck replied, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."

The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?" Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Obama makes a BIG DEAL of the difference between the $900 Million bucks of YOUR money he's shoveling into Palestine to rebuild Gaza after Israel retaliates against them. The big deal is that it is NOT a Billion Dollars. It's 100 million shy of a Billion.

But it is NOT a big deal of the new $410 Billion Dollar spending package that ONLY just less than $100 Million Bucks is pork. How proud they are that they were able to keep earmarks and pork spending down to 25% of the needless spending bill they shoved down our throats after the first $700 Billion, then the 2nd $800 Billion and then the $400 Billion and the countless TRILLIONS that we weren't even given the courtesy of a head's up.

ALL OF WHICH are Government Christmas Trees drowning in earmarks and pork projects presents stacked as far as the eye can see. And the funny little elves holding hands and dancing in an every growing circle around this cacophony of endless gifts are the Lobbyists, Congressmen and that jolly little elf himself, Sant-O-Bama.

And the gifts are pouring out to all the World, like this (let's call it an even Billion) Gaza rebuilding project. Merry Christmas Palestine... oh Christ, I mean whatever you call it there.

I have alot of Jewish friends and they are always complaining on how they get screwed at Christmas because all their Christian friends get mountains of stuff they certainly don't need but have always wanted.

And this year, as a belated Christmas Gift from Saint Trickle-us: Sant-O-bama, they get to watch Gaza rebuilt after they worked so hard to knock it down. Screwed Again!

Poor old Hillary is getting an earful too... after all, she was their friend, their foe, their friend again... and now their biggest foe as most of the Jewish Political leaders are regarding her latest "policy" shift as giving the International Jewish community a joyously extended Social Finger.

I love this quote:

"I liked her a lot more as a senator from New York," Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, said. "Now, I wonder as I used to wonder who the real Hillary Clinton is."

Don't wonder Sir. That's who she really is! Someone that will turn and feast on your flesh if it's politically beneficial at the moment. You're not a stupid man. You were just willing to turn a blind eye to it when it served your needs in the past. Now, she's stabbing YOU in the back. How's that feel?

To the Jewish Community, don't feel like you're being singled out again for a late in the season holiday screwing... They're giving it to ALL of us this year. It's like the Plague. Only you're REQUIRED to get it. It's like we're all in line waiting for our Plague Shot. The argument being that we'll suffer, but suffer far worse that if we didn't walk into it willingly.

But I have a question... exactly from which (or any) package is this latest Billion Dollar expense coming from. Because these shots are starting to hurt and I'm running out of flesh that hasn't been perforated already.

You read that right... Since taking the oath of Office, Obama has spent:

THIRTY SIX BILLION DOLLAR A DAY

Let me put that another way...
$36,000,000,000.00 a DAY.

That's incredible! Just incredible.

I'm wondering when those starry eyed folks out there that voted for this guy are going to wake up and smell the coffee.

Let's do some fun math here for a second.... How many tax paying citizens are residents of the United States? US Census says and I'll round for easy math's sake to roughly 300 Million.

US Census says of that, only 130,000,000 pay taxes. Meaning 170 Million do NOT pay taxes (but that's another story).

Of those 130 Million folks paying taxes, what is Obama costing them EACH DAY he is in office?

Let's do the math together, shall we?

$36 Billion / 130 Million = $276.92 per day.

You're paying $8,307.60 PER MONTH!!!!

All this because of a Mortgage Crisis. Let me ask you this, What kind of a house could you live in for $8300 bucks a month? What kind of LIFE could you live at $8300 buck a month?

Now ask yourself...

Can we afford this guy?

Once again, Global Warming is on the active radar of local, State and Federal Government panels.... yet another excuse to raise taxes and collect money from a Nation of suffering tax payers... all without having to officially say "We're raising taxes".

Only this time, two separate major news stories tilting the scales in the opposite direction.

Story #1 - Satellites that provide the core data and support of the Ice Cap Melting rate argument as proof of Global Warming have recently been discovered as having experienced "Sensor Calibration Drift". Which is to say that the core values of math that calculate the variations of ice thickness have been consistently and steadily drifting for, ironically, roughly the same duration as the IPCC has been saying the ice sheets are melting.

In plain English, 1+1=.095 so that each time the calculations are taken, the totals are a bit LESS than they should be. And as each total is added to the previous, those slightly off calculations are exponentially impacted.

Which arguably accounts for nearly ALL of the ice sheet thinning we have been seeing in the data they are presenting. It's almost as if it was Programmed this way, such a strange "random" glitch....

Story #2 - The main Satellite charged with measuring the changes to Global Warming GASSES in our atmosphere mysteriously CRASHED today, taking down with it tons of data about the current measurements of CO2 and other gasses that confirm or deny the effects man has on the environment.

I'm sure in the coming days, we will hear that the massive increase in carbon emissions somehow caused an unstable condition in the near earth orbit of this satellite which can be directly tied to the sudden loss of altitude and ultimately the crash of this satellite.

In other news, the County I live in has announced NEW and GREATER taxes, fees and fines on it's citizens due to their impact on the Earth and their contributions to Global Warming.

While their argument literally comes crashing down around them, they are raising taxes and milking this cash cow for all it's worth.

I think they might need a recalibration... because for milking a cow, what their getting smells a lot like CRAP.

Moo.

Just found out that HP, the technology super giant that employs so much of the Pacific North West has just handed out the official Pick Slip to 90% of their total workforce.

NINETY PERCENT! That's three plants in the NW SHUT DOWN. 1000s of people now unemployed.

Ironically today, Obama announced that in order to curb the economy, he's going to tax the living crap out of the 15 people left in this country STILL EMPLOYED!

Seriously folks, what the heck is going on in the minds of the people trying to SAVE and create jobs in this country?

Taxes, Fees, Penalties, Global Warming damages, etc. these expenses are SOOOO great that many of these business that MIGHT have a fighting chance in this floundering economy are having to gut themselves just to try and survive.

Only to find that the more people they lay off, the less people there are to spread the tax burden around and the MORE these businesses are charged with picking up the taxation slack!

As I pointed out some days ago, Californians are opening their IRS refund envelopes and finding a post-it note with IOU - ARNIE written on them.

Where goes California, there also goes the Country, right?

When are you going to get your check from Obama saying IOU? And for what, so that an ever expanding Government and continue to (cough) function while the private sector herds toward the government feeding trough.

Here's a novel idea, how about the Government gets a gigantic IOU from the People of this Country. Incentive based compensation.

IF you perform, THEN we pay! Make them commission based employees of the people with bonus and incentives based on how much they SAVE us and how much the economy GROWS!!!

Then HP can put these people back on the job, products will be available to people that can then afford to actually BUY something.

Because right now, HP didn't fire 1000s of employees....

They fired 1000s of CONSUMERS.

Think of all the jobs that will now be lost BECAUSE these people are no longer consuming.

By the way, if you are small garage inventor with a great technology product, HP is now buying.

Remember those old E.F. Hutton commercials?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PwP1EjaBik

Where is E.F. Hutton now? Doesn't really matter. The point is that the market is doing the same thing when B.H. Obama talks... but for different reasons.

Obama says he's going to fix the deficit by breaking all his promises and taxing "the rich" even more than we thought. The Market was listening.

Care to guess how much we lost as the words passed Obama's lips? How about tomorrow? Will we see 7000 again? Ever?

Over the next couple of days we're going to see the effects of B.H. Obama's words as the market and business reacts to his comments. But for those that didn't catch it or aren't paying attention, let me summarize it for you.

Obama (paraphrased) -

"IF you are lucky and still employed, know that your good fortune has nothing to do with hark work, persistence or dedication. It is blind luck. And being so lucky and fortunate, it is your patriotic duty to give back to those unlucky ones, those less fortunate than you. So, being the good society you are, we are helping you continue your good fortune by taking more of what you make and giving it to those that need it more than you do.

So if you invest and profit, you will pay more. If your Dad dies and leaves an estate, he and all of his family will pay more. If your good fortune should provide you with virtually any form of profitability, you will pay more. So that those that don't have as much, can share in your good fortune.

If you've maintained your Mortgage and are not in default, you will continue to pay the same amount for the same, unadjusted loan that you always have, while your neighbor in foreclosure gets the cost of his house cut in half, gets refinanced at a lower monthly payment and receives the bounty of instant lendable equity that he will undoubtedly go out and spend on buying that sweet boat with, while you ultimately make up his part of the failed mortgage industry.

Finally, my fellow Americans, Your government NEEDS to grow and be that Father you never had. You will always know that no matter where you are or what you are going through... as long as your are not successful... you can look up and see your Government looking down on you with comforting, caring eyes.

So we will be taking even more money from what employers there are left to grow ourselves so that eventually, when there ARE no more employers, ALL will have a place to go.

This is Socially Responsible Government and I am so proud that you support this socialized effort to save our Great Society by electing me so overwhelmingly, giving myself, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid these official "Do whatever I want to and get away with it" badges.

Obama Bless you and Obama Bless Sociali... er... America"

Uncle Sam? This milk tastes funny.

So this "under the radar" news is being trickled out for release early next week... apparently this latest 3/4 Trillion dollar Bail Out was written IN TANDEM with an additional $410 Billion Dollar spending bill to be presented and passed AFTER the new Bail-Out bill is passed.

The big argument about the new Bail Out bill was all the PORK that was in it... Let me tell you something, it was NOTHING compared to this new, yet to be revealed bill, that has THOUSANDS of pork projects tucked inside of it. Billions of Dollars worth of pet projects and lobby con jobs tucked into this separate document that will be proposed.

If these were all included in the Bail-Out bill, you remember, "Porkulous-Maximous", the general public would have seen these Democrat fanatics as they are. So they secretly tucked them all away in another bill.

THAT'S why the republicans were locked out of chambers the other day. The Dems were HIDING this bill!!!

Together, with the new Bail-Out, the spending proposed exceeds WELL over a Trillion Dollars.... and that's not the end of it.

Watch for this, it's going to be big news.

$410 Billion of earmarks and government expenses... I warned you.
