Darrell Issa

No wonder why my friend is having problems with her custody battle. The judge is elected by the same creeps who elected Darrell Issa.

Air Obama

From WSJ

“
Yet the Obama Justice Department has come out of the blocks trying to scuttle a promising experiment to stabilize the chronically unprofitable U.S. airline sector. The new administration seemingly won’t let companies fail, and won’t let them succeed either.
The airline industry’s self-help solution has been an evolving trio of international alliances, partly blessed with “antitrust immunity” by the U.S. Department of Transportation. One, the Star Alliance led by United and Lufthansa, is currently poaching Continental from a rival alliance, SkyTeam. DOT was set to approve their application last week when Justice belatedly intervened with a 58-page complaint about why the pact should be restructured.

To anyone drilled in the antitrust mindset, Justice’s argument won’t seem outlandish. It frets about reduced competition on this or that international route, and sees little chance of competitive entry by new carriers despite fat profits that presumably would be on offer. It argues, in a fashion typical of antitrust these days, that nonstop flights are a market unto themselves, so connecting flights on the same routes don’t count.
But the real fulcrum is Justice’s insistence, or plea, that DOT should set a high bar for antitrust immunity, because antitrust enforcement has been such a gosh-darn boon to consumers”

Great, does the next thing we need is a government-owned airlines. There are a lot of services that the government performs more effectively than the private sector including healthcare insurance.

However, it is my opinion that the government needs to stay out of the airline industry. We already two airlines that a publically owned airline would never match the efficency which is Jetblue and Southwest.

In my opinion, the government needs to stay out of the airline industry

Oil Prices to Spike Again

It is looks like oil is going to spike up again   Wall St. greed will cause another massive speculative bubble in energy prices.  This will cause havoc with an economy that is trying to pull itself out of recovery and start a pattern of slow, but sustainable long-growth growth.

One of the important opportunties right now is to play the market, but you have to play the market correctly.  It takes precise calculation of the speculative bubble and, the concept of that the traders and not you are causing the bubble.  You are just along on the ride to make a quick profit (let’s say a return of 10%-20%) and than sell.  For example, I would buy now and wait for oil to get to $105-$110 and sell.  It might be get up $130 but then crashed as the hedge funds start to bet against oil

The Wall Street traders full of greed and use risk like a crack addict creating wild speculative bubbles that make long-term sustainable growth almost impossible to do.    This should be ample opportunity to demonstrate that the goons on the street need to regulated and supervised like little children because they cannot be trusted like adults.

Kill Over Hot Sauce. Go to Jail for 33 Years

The AP reports

“KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 33 years in prison for killing a man during a melee that erupted when someone threw a bottle of hot sauce.

The Kansas City Star reports that 29-year-old Jarvis T. Williams was sentenced Thursday for his convictions on second-degree murder, three counts of assault and four counts of armed criminal action”

What a loser.  You through a life and earn a ticket to a prison.  My friend, Scott, served some time in the Missouri Department of Corrections.  And I am not go to bail your ass out of prison as part of my step-based parole process.

 

 

Humility

Quote about humilty

“I may attain “humility for today” only to the extent that I am able to avoid the bog of guilt and rebellion on one hand and, on the other hand, that fair but deceiving land which is strewn with the fool’s-gold coins of pride. This is how I can find and stay on the highroad to humility, which lies between these extremes. Therefore, a constant inventory which can reveal when I am off the road is always in order.”

Why Being Resentful Towards Spirituality is A Waste of Energy?

I see a lot of resentment on the right. But, I am not going to follow into the same trap when people on the secular left (which I am part of) make remarks like this”

Results of the Stress Test

The AP reports

“WASHINGTON (AP) — Government exams of the nation’s biggest banks have helped lift a cloud of uncertainty that has hung over the economy.

The so-called stress tests — a key Obama administration effort to boost confidence in the financial system — showed nine of the 19 biggest banks have enough capital to withstand a deeper recession. Ten must raise a total of $75 billion in new capital to withstand possible future losses.

“The publication of the stress tests simply cleared the air of uncertainty,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics. “The results were not scary at all.”

He said it will take a long time for the banks to resume normal lending. But the test results didn’t alter his prediction that economy is headed for a recovery in October or November.

A key indicator of economic health will be released Friday morning, when the government announces how many more jobs were lost in April and how high the unemployment rate rose.

The stress tests have been criticized as a confidence-building exercise whose relatively rosy outcome was inevitable. But the information, which leaked out all week, was enough to cheer investors. They pushed bank stocks higher Wednesday, and rallied again in after-hours trading late Thursday once the results had been released”

Don’t Ask and Do Not Tell is Bad Policy

From the Huffington Post,

“Dan Choi, a West Point graduate and officer in the Army National Guard who is fluent in Arabic and who returned recently from Iraq, received notice today that the military is about to fire him. Why? Because he came out of the closet as a gay man on national television

Angry Conservative

I met my fair share of angry conservatives on the web. They have rage
and disgust at Obama for doing such things as trying to regulate the economy and pushing the economic stimulus. I found this guy on Topix that was over the top

“Read Glenn Beck’s “An inconvienent book”
pg 200 the UN passes a resolution UN resolution 1267 that tells the Taliban to hand over Osma bin Laden Oct.1999 during the weak, impotent Bill Clinton administration. Gee, I guess they didn’t listen and look what happened less than two years later. Sept 11th 2001. Clinton also had ten chances to kill Osama bin Laden between May 1998 and May 1999, but chose to do NOTHING! Sandy Berger stole those articles from our national archives and shoved them down hs pants and wasn’t prosicuted for doing so.
You liberals are stupid Obama Kool-aid drinkers that’s for sure. You morons have been hoodwinked and bambozled by the liberal media and by the (TIC) teleprompter in Chief who is a lying hoax of a liberal fool.

They even had to tell Muslim terrorists Abu Zubaydah that the caterpillar they put in his cell wasn’t poisonous. Oh brother. We did that kind of things as kids and as fraternity pranks and the liberals call it torture and want American HEROES to stand trial and go to jail for it? You evil, nasty liberal scum.
Not Obama’s 787 BILLION dollar ‘porklus’ bill with 8,100 EARMARKS in it.
That’s now excuse for Obama spending 3.6 trillion dolar in just 60 ays and wasted billion more on big auto the banks and other bailouts.
At least we got a stimlus check for $60o per person and Obama has given me shit.
By 2019 Obama deficit will be 23.5 TRILLION dollars, way more than our entie GDP, you senile socialist fool.
