Quote of the decade if not the century

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here". Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

 ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Government Shut-downs.........ugh.........

Shutdowns are the norm, not the exception.  George W Bush was the only president in recent decades not to experience a shutdown.  The federal government closed 1x under Ford, 5x under Carter, 8x under Reagan, 1x under HW Bush, and 2x under Clinton.

Obama needs a shutdown.  Shutdown his teleprompter for starters.

Boys will be boys.................

 Boys,

This Saturday I start my sojourn into Montana's Missouri River breaks country to find a massive bighorn sheep with Lindsey Channel.  Being the bright, smart, prepared, talented guy that I always wanted to be I thought it prudent to begin my prep work and put up my High Sierra tent to make sure all the pieces were in place BEFORE heading out.

There are eight (8) small stakes that are not with the tent.  They are not in the bag with the tent poles either.   All of that is to be kept in the yellow tent bag.   Do either of you know where those tent stakes might be?

It's not that I can't run to Alpharetta Outfitters and get more, it's that all of that is to be kept together so this doesn't have to happen at least to me.   Lets do better going forward.

Over and out.

Love you to the moon!

The NFL

The NFL has begun requiring fans who are ejected from a stadium to take an online course before they are permitted to come back.  The course content focuses on anger management, alcohol, and crude behavior.  Here's how the program works:

Fans who get thrown out of stadiums for bad behavior will be sent a letter that encourages them to apologize to the team and complete the online course at their own cost. If they fail to do so and are caught on stadium property, they are told they could be arrested for trespassing.  When a fan completes the course, the team is sent a notification and the fan may be allowed back on premises.

No wonder I quit watching pro football.   With idiots like this running the aslylum why bother?

I would love to see this enforced.  How would they ever catch them or identify them?  Imagine catching them on stadium property and being told they could be arrested for trespassing after NOT completing an online course?  Would the NFL roll out some wine and cheese to make them feel better about themselves?  Maybe the NFL could engage some mental health counseling for them as well.

Heaven forbid Joe Arpaio doesn't catch them.    

Jim Cramer. Tout Extraordinaire...........

"Has J.C. Penney (JCP) bottomed? How many times have I heard that one? It has to be the most asked question now that we are seeing some of the highest quality hedge funds in the situation, including Perry Capital (run by my old friend Rich Perry) as well as Glenview Capital and Kyle Bass. Suffice it to say that I don't think there could be many investors as wise as these people. They aren't approaching the situation idly and I think they are going to be right. To me, that's a lot of ways to get the stock to $18.... Can this stock go up $5 on a new CEO and a better holiday season? Yes. And that's why it is worth joining these great hedge funds. Not because they are in it. But because the time and the price are right. You don't need to know anything else for the moment."

How CEO's (liars and thieves) operate

Ron Paul and Ted Cruz.............

The story is not the crooked bureaucrats, corrupt bankers and the psychopath in the White House. The story of the hour is that one man stood against it all.  To miss this story is to miss what freedom means.

 

Against the Establishment Ron Paul stood.

 

Against the one-party system that has ruined the most exceptional and successful country on the face of the planet one man, Ted Cruz, said, Stop!

 

Not enough Americans stood to put Ron Paul in the White House.

Clearly this is a government not worth what we are paying.

Obama Voters...............

In my daily routine I probably go out of my way NOT to talk to Obama voters.

When I do, I am usually ordering french fries for somebody riding along.
