Ayn Rand Shrugged

Sales of the Ayn Rand masterpiece, "Atlas Shrugged" are thru the roof. Year to date, the book sales numbers have tripled in 2009, compared to 2008. A friend just went to our local bookstore to buy copy, and the clerk told her that there was a waiting list, but that they were ordering them as fast as they could. She asked her if one of the local colleges was using the book, and the clerk said "no".


The economic turmoil that Ms Rand described seems to be eerily coming true. As equally scary, the economic "solutions" our government is currently proposing are nearly identical to the ones that ultimately destroy society in her books.

Harry Reid says that Income Taxes are voluntary

A buddy sent me this link. It's an interview between Sen Harry Reid, democrat from NV, and Jan Helfeld. Now I've never heard of Mr Helfeld before, but it's great to hear it from the mouth of Senator Reid that my income taxes are voluntary! But, his definition of "voluntary" is different than mine. His is "volunteer to give me half your money, or go to jail". What dictionary is he using??




What Mr Helfeld apparently edited out of the interview is that taxes ARE indeed voluntary, but only if you are a member of the Democrat party, right Mr Geitner, Daschel, et al?

Don't laugh at this...

This is supposed to be a stimulus?

According to the Associated Press (hardly a right-leaning organization), the latest version of the stimulus plan will give Americans a whopping $13/week. Only a moron thinks $13/week will improve anything.

America doesn't care..

According to the Honorable Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Americans really don't mind all the wasteful spending that he so clings to. We don't care? What frickin' planet does this guy live on??????




What an arrogant SOB.

The New Quayle

Thank goodness for Joe Biden, the new Dan Quayle.

Biden, well known for multiple verbal gaffes, recently made fun of Chief Justice Roberts for messing up the presidential oath of office. After all, EVERYBODY loves it when a conservative screws up, right?

So, what does VP Biden-Quayle turn around and do himself? Screws up the Secretary of State oath of office.

Why is it that, when anybody right-of-center makes a mistake, it's front page news, but when lefties like Biden do it, "Oh, it's just Joe..."?

Some perspective on the financial failure

It seems horrible that, for the year 2008, 25 banks failed in the USA.

However, during the first 10 months of 1930, 744 banks failed.

So don't believe the media that this is another Great Depression.

Why do they do it?

Once again, a group has come together to discuss the dangers of global warming. This time in Buffalo, NY.

Today's temperature there was minus 6 degrees. Why do they keep scheduling these meetings IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?

You wanna try to convince people that the world is getting hotter, try holding your dad-gum meetings in August in the South!

Looters, Moochers and Producers

Looters have a genetic predisposition for taking money from Producers and giving it to Moochers.

Unfortunately, Producers have a natural tendency to avoid politics, and since Moochers are just plain lazy, only the Looters make it in the political world.

Tax Cheats

Then: “Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter. ” Sen. Tom Daschle, Congressional Record, May 7, 1998, p. S4507.

Now: "Never mind"- Tom Daschle, 2009*
