Is this one of those “shovel ready” projects mentioned in the recent porkulus bill? I certainly hope not.
Between you, me and the teleprompter, I am hopeful that our city governments can find better usage of $180,000 in tax dollars. While I am all for needing to spend money to help upkeep local, state and federal buildings, putting up new art (ugly art at that) just for the sake of spending dollars is a no-go for me.
Thoughts?

Michelle Malkin called it correctly. There are certainly some prominent asshats trying to ruin our sacred land, and if we do not take a stand they will succeed. I have no doubt that these IDIOTS sit in their offices and chuckle at just how gullible and uninformed the vast majority of people are out there.
Up next into the croissfire is Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal. This is the guy who is on a mission to extort, by any means possible, the bonuses paid to the AIG executives. The reason he gives is the most laughable, and actually the most frightening of any I have yet heard:
“Because they are undeserving of it.”
So now the government decides who is deserving and who is not? Like them or not, those men and women were under contract. What would happen to modern day pro sports if every athlete had to return his or her salary because they were not ‘effective’ in their endeavors? Granted, some of them SHOULD give them back but are you willing to say with 100% accuracy that they are undeserving of it?
This is where the government is heading, straight down a slippery slope of overbearing control where nothing is going to stop it if We The People do not take a firm stance and draw an unwavering line in the sand.

I know that politicians, when running for office, have to ask supporters to make donations in order help cover the costs of advertising, holding events, getting their message out, etc. So why is it, that only a couple of months into his administration Glorious Leader is asking American citizens to give more to his campaign?
Are not he and his henchmen supposed to be working hard for the little guy? Are they not giving their best effort to see that the little guy is getting to keep more of his hard earned wages? Perhaps it is so that people have more to give to the Democratic machine?
I guess that they cannot print any more, so they must beg the people to bail them out?

If you are following the news, you know that China, the ones who have been supporting our crack-like spending habit for the longest time, are beginning to show signs of fear.
If they stop buying our debt, the dollar will collapse like a stone and things here will plummet into a void from which I doubt we will emerge for a very long time. At the G20 summit, the Chinese premiere said that the United States should be cautious of devaluing the dollar by EXCESSIVE SPENDING.
Where the hell was this guy when the idiots in congress were stealing my children’s’ future?

This is just getting to be stupid. Does Obama or his team do any real vetting of people? Surely they should have known about one of his latest picks.
The office of his recently appointed Chief Information Officer, Vivek Kundra was raided and one of its employees (and one contractor) arrested on charges of bribery. When Kundra took over as the Chief Technology Officer last year, Advanced Integrated Technologies Corporation (AITC) contracts nearly doubled to $5 million. It’s CEO was the contractor arrested.
So Kundra takes over the CTO office, AITC gets $5 million in contracts and now one of Kundra’s top employees is arrested on bribery charges along with AITC’s CEO. And, of course, Kundra has now been elevated to the Obama staff.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the Department of Justice told the White House on Thursday morning of its planned raid, the Associated Press reports.
However, Gibbs declined to comment on whether the White House was aware of the investigation before Thursday, the AP reports.
I cannot say for sure, but it seems funny that nearly every appointee by Obama is a crook, liar, cheat, or all of the above.

It has come to pass. After all that has been said to the negative; after all the calls, faxes, emails, etc that have flooded Washington, D.C.; after all of the public outrage regarding this massively heinous Bill Of Socialism, the House passed it 246-183 and the Senate will pass it as soon as the last Senator returns from his mother’s funeral. He is a Democrat, so we know the outcome there.
I want to thank all of the GOP in the House. They all voted NO. I want to thank the 7 Democrats who voted NO. I don’t care why (one said there was too much tax cut and not enough school and social program money, which scares me, but I will take it).
With this upon us, I believe we are very much screwed. Why?
NOT ONE SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN READ THE BILL before voting. The House voted unanimously to have the bill on the internet for 48 hours before voting. Nancy Pelosi had a date in Rome, Italy so they had to forget that. Obama promised to have all EMERGENCY legislation out on the internet for a full 5 days before he signed them. He has forgotten that and will sign it on Monday.
If you get a chance to read it, do so, Look at the reports coming out and read the words for yourself. Nationalized health care, earmarks put in under the cover of dark, forcing governors to accept money even if they do not want it, money for people who don’t even pay taxes, extra money for Social Security recipients (to the tune of $250- wow $4.80 per week for the year… nice).
I know to many it seems like we are just screaming in frustration that Obama won. I would agree that many are. But what is driving me is deeper than that.
I guess I was born in the wrong era. I want everyone to be proud of their country. I want everyone to stare down the enemy and send them packing. I want people to rise up, like the days of the revolution and demand their freedom from government meddling and interference.
But too many do not care. None of them, I am sure, come to read my barely-visible blog in the ocean of other writings. If they do, they never leave comment anyway, so I apparently do not touch them. But it burns inside that there is so much apathy in our country.
How can people be so delusional as to think that this legislation is a good thing? Regardless of who you voted for, the fact is that this bill was crammed through and NO ONE got a chance to read it.
I don’t come out and say it, but the truth needs to be said. If you voted for Obama and his trumped up siren call of HopenChange, you are an idiot. You have been blinded by either pure idolatry or pure hatred of Bush. You obviously care more about what he says than what he has actually done in his past. There can be no other explanation.
God help us all, and I truly hope I (and all of the other thousands of experts who have been warning about this) are wrong in their assessment.

Only the onion could elaborate just what the a Money Hole our federal government is trying to fill.
