One thing is becoming blatantly clear: there will never be enough time or space to cover all the fools this new administration is collecting.
I guess I might as well start with the Senate giving the nod to the latest tax criminal, Timothy Geithner, to run our Treasury Department. Here is a guy who cheated on paying his taxes, knew he was cheating on his taxes, pocketed extra money he was paid by the International Monetary Fund to PAY for his taxes that he didn’t pay, and yet the limp-wristed clowns in the Senate give this criminal a pass.
If it had been me, I would have been fined, penalized, and threatened. I would not have been given a pass. But because this is a Democrat, it is OK to not pay for your taxes. It’s a lot like Leona Helmsley when she was quoted as saying, “Taxes are for the little people.” (Obama slobberers, take note.)
In yesterday’s Wall Street Journal (1/26/2009, Letters), we see a dichotomy of intelligence in the Letters to the Editor section. In response to an editorial about how Barney Frank snuck in a bailout to OneUnited Bank in his home state, Maryland, one ignorant woman complains that the WSJ didn’t understand WHY our illustrious, and quite fiscally ignorant, Barney Frank did such a dastardly deed. She points out the very reason Frank added in OneUnited was BECAUSE an African American owned their bank! No shit! I wonder when this Encyclopedia Brown figured that out!
She goes on to say that OneUnited needed the bailout because they had so many bad shares invested in Freddie Mac and Fannie May. No shit? And just who let that happen? Why, Barney Frank! The same guy who porked the TARP for OneUnited!
It is unbelievable the ignorance of the American voter. I’m sure she isn’t a regular WSJ reader, or she wouldn’t be so ignorant to point out the obvious and not understand that is why Barney Frank should be ostracized and thrown off of the House Finance Committee. Not only is this guy if fool, he is dangerous and has more than one hand in the cookie jar of financial destruction he and his cronies on the Left have been playing with.
Onward.
Today, we see another low-level leftist, John Kerry, writing an op-ed piece in which he decries that president Bush is responsible for all the problems Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and their friends in the Democratic party have laid down on our economy. He whines that the $350 billion of the $750 billion that was shoved through as a so-called bailout of the financial institutions was spent — get this — ON FINANCIAL INSTITUTION! And he blames Bush for spending the money on them, and not on government make-work jobs. Mr. Kerry is an idiot. He voted for this TARP bill, knew all along where it was to be spent (maybe even knew Barney Frank had porked OneUnited), and now that Obama has a new plan to bankrupt the country with trillions more in government make-work jobs, blames President Bush for doing something that the Senate had passed in a landslide.
The only saving grace to Kerry’s puff piece is that the vast majority of WSJ readers know the story, sans Miss Encyclopedia Brown mentioned above.
Obama signed an Executive Order, which he didn’t even know the language that was in it, to close Gitmo in one year. Today we find out that one of the pieces of filth that was turned loose from there, Abdallah Ali al-Ajmi, blew himself up in a suicide attack in Mosul, Iraq. And guess whom he killed? American soldiers? Nope. 12 innocent citizens. Some hero. A real man, wouldn’t you say? Hey, the more these clowns blow themselves up, the better the world gets. Unfortunately, they take women and children with them. Freedom fighters, my ass.
So, Obama needs to pull his head out of his ass and reassess his promises to the peaceniks and get serious about what to do with the vermin held down at Gitmo. Personally, we should have followed the Israeli solution and make sure there are no survivors in the initial firefight. Saves a lot of time, money, expenses, and explanations.

Last, but not least, Democrats on the Hill have inserted language into the next economic stimulus bill to give $4.19 billion to ACORN, the leftist voter recruiting organization that is being investigated for fraud in several elections, not the least is the presidential election of 2008. Seems Democrats were trying to slip this in as “payoff” for making sure people were registered to vote Democrat up to seven and eight times.
ACORN workers registered the same people several times over, and it has been alleged by past ACORN workers that ACORN staffers at polling stations vote all ballots that are not cast by the end of the voting in a precinct. This isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last.
Democrats are known for voter fraud. It's in their DNA. And when an election is close, you can bet the election recount will be stolen. Two choice examples are the governor election in Washington state in 2004. When Christine Gregoire lost to Dino Rossi by 261 votes in the close election. The mandatory recount showed Rossi still won. The Democrats funded their own had recount and lo and behold, Gregoire was ahead! However, the votes were fraud. Many were from felons, dead people and, get this 500 or so people who were registered (after the fact) at a single address in Seattle: a homeless shelter.
Tainted? You bet. Voter Fraud? Absolutely. However, the liberal Washington courts refused to allow the charges and Rossi, after losing to Judge John E. Bridges, decided that there was no way to challenge his case against the Democratic Washington Supreme Court, so finally in June, 2005, he quit the fight.
And now we have Minnesota. Senator Norm Coleman beat Al Franken hands down in the Senatorial race. However, the recount brought out several hundred ballots that were found in the trunk of a Democratic ballot counter's car. Finally, after finding many more ballots, magically Al Franken was ahead. Several ballots show a small mark for Franken, but the bullet for Coleman was completely filled in. No surprise the Democratic ballot counters decided that the little mark meant the voter had wanted to select Franken. Hey, this only goes to prove that when an election is close enough for a recount in a Blue State, the Democrat is going to win.
This is going to be a long four years!
