PREZ SEZ JES KIDDIN'
FORGET WHAT I SAID, THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING
President Barack Obama spent the week backpeddling his dire warnings about the imminent collapse of the American economy, which has led to widespread anger and criticism of big business, big banking and almost all politicians by citizens.
The growing feeling across the country that they have been had by the cloistered wealthy/politican/banker/big businessman cabal has set an increasing number of citizen protest groups in motion, aimed at not only financial industry but the Democratic Congress, who rammed the stimulus package through without fully understanding its contents.
Revelations from leading Democrats about amendments and other details contained within the thousand-plus page economic stimulus legislation directly benefitted companies and individuals that supported them in the previous election has sent lawmakers scrambling to find a way to right-side their political stance and has sent the recipients scurrying for cover.
In an effort to dampen the furor, President Obama backed off his support for the House bill taxing AIG bonuses at a punitive 90% rate, saying it was unconstitutional (which House Republicans repeatedly said)
Apparently, now that the ball is rolling, whipping the unwashed masses into a frenzy no longer works for the Obama administration. Oy where are those Obama Zombies when you need them.
REP. FRANK COMMITS HATE CRIME
Mass. Rep. Barney Frank (Dem), during an interview with a Gay Magazine, called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a homophobe because of his dissenting views on a 2003 ruling on state laws re: consensual sodomy.
I am waiting for his arrest for hateful comments regarding Justice Scalia's sexual persuasion. I'm sure it is imminent.
Frank stated that elected officials, not the court, should decide matters of controversy, such as gay marriage and abortion.
Except, apparently in California, where no matter what the electoral process decides, gay rights whiners and droolers end up in front of the Supreme Court to block the will of the people.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Democratic/Liberal hypocrisy.
INDIA DICKS DETROIT
BUILDS A BETTER MOUSETRAP
The Indian auto maker TATA has announced the first truly affordable car, the Nano, designed to allow Indians to own their first car.
Costing just $1979, the five seater, 642 cc, no frills model would allow even poverty-stricken Indians to drive rather than walk or take mass transit, allowing more economic growth for the country by making it possible to build industrial sites further from the cities.
Meanwhile, in Detroit, the big three are reaching out to the U.S. Government for help to continue to build $60-100,000 monstrosities that working people cannot afford.
Hey, first automaker that builds a $2000 car in this country owns the industry.
LAUER, LANCE EAT IT ON BIKES
This week NBC host Matt Lauer and racing legend Lance Armstrong both had accidents on their bicycles. Lauer sustained bumps and scrapes, Armstrong a broken collarbone.
I told you those things were dangerous. (Although not as dangerous as snow, as the recent death of Natasha Richardson proves.) Helmets anyone?
By the way, any one else notice they look alike? Weird.
