If you changed your mind about your vote last November you now get the opportunity for a redo. (Anybody notice there are not many folks coming forward saying they voted for McCain but wish they had voted for Obama? Actually, has a single person done so?) Also, if you believe your vote was the right one, and subsequent exorbitant stimulus spending and tax increases prove you were right, you also get another vote.
Revote when you purchase your next new vehicle:
- Buy from the government run GM or Chrysler to vote for Obama.
- Buy from Ford to vote against Obama.
It is simple and easy and has little chance of vote fraud.

The new federal income tax withholding tables are now being implemented. The government wants employers to begin using the new withholding rates no later than April 1.
For those Kool-Aiders who thought they were in that famous 95 percent of Americans told to believe their taxes were going to be reduced; surprise, surprise! For example, a married worker making a non-wealthy $48,000 per year will see their semimonthly paycheck decrease by $120.77. That is an 80.5 percent tax increase. That is $2,898.48 per year less in that worker’s pocket. A funny way to stimulate the economy.
(The above is calculated using three withholding allowances.)

The Sheeple Masters are having a rally this Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time. To participate, the sheeple get to stay in their home with the lights out for the one hour. Turning off all their lights will signify to the whole wide world they believe in global warming and can do something about it to make themselves feel better. Unfortunately, the rally will not celebrate the brutally cold winter from which many folks are just now thawing.
The people that have not been brain-washed by global warming extremism will have the opportunity to turn on all their lights at 8:30, thereby showing the whole wide world they are not sheeple.

When the President of the United States has a law degree from Harvard Law School and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago, one would expect that President would respect the rule of law, as opposed to the rule of men. When it took a few days for President Obama to think about his position concerning the AIG bonus issue, one had reason to be concerned. After all, isn’t a contract a contract?
Surely the President would show respect for the rule of law and insist those retention bonus contracts be paid.
Surely the President would use the teachable moment to explain to the American people the necessity of honoring such valid legal contracts.
Surely the President would show the leadership needed to squash the dangerous populist uprising inflamed by the United States Congress.
Surely the President would not rush to the head of the line to lead the rule of men mob, leaving the rule of law folks all to themselves.
Then again, isn’t this the same President that thinks the biggest contract of them all, the Constitution of the United States, doesn’t mean what is means?

Barack Obama is well known throughout the world for the articulate way in which he reads from Tele, his trusty teleprompter sidekick. Therefore, it is surprising to some of us not educated at Harvard or some other liberal elitist ivy-league school, that Barack does not correct the numerous incidences of poor grammar, aggressive language, or ghetto-speak Tele inadvertently advocates.
For example, Tele often tells Barack to use the phrase “a bunch,” as in “a bunch of oil executives” or “a bunch of women.”
Tele often forgets they are no longer on the south side of Chicago and instructs Barack to say, “skin in the game.” (This term is often used by Harvard alums during pick-up hoops or community organizing events.)
Finally, Tele sometimes feels Barack ought to “get in their face” and if that does not convince a gun toting, bible clinging conservative of their evil ways Tele advises Barack to reach across the bipartisan aisle and “tear him up.”

Today, The Wall Street Journal reported background checks for firearm purchases increased 42% last November from the prior year.
Who said Barack Obama doesn’t know how to stimulate the economy!?

The White House did the country proud these last few weeks. It elevated its stature from that of the tacky and juvenile deportment of the Bush White House. The new administration leveraged the moral authority of the American Presidency into a highly visible media campaign to destroy a lowly radio personality named Rush Limbaugh.
By using the power of the Presidency for such an important issue, the White House has demonstrated three of its guiding principles to the world.
First, it will not pick on somebody its own size.
Second, its willingness to unify the country by reaching across the ideological aisle to the kook-fringe politics of conservatism, which is shared by the center-right majority of Americans.
Third, it will not spend valuable time and resources foolishly dealing with unimportant concerns such as the catastrophic unemployment rate, the dysfunctional economy, and rogue nuclear states.
Isn’t it nice having adults back in charge?

Thomas Sowell wrote an easy-to-understand book entitled Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy.
An interesting bit of information is the return on different types of assets over a long period of time. Taking inflation into account, one dollar invested in 1801 would have been worth different amounts by 1998:
. Bonds, a gain of almost $1,000.
. Stocks, a gain of more than $500,000.
. Gold, a loss of $0.22. (It would have been worth 78 cents in 1998.)

Today, The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece entitled In “Defense of Obamanomics” by Laura D’Andrea Tyson, a member of President Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
In her magnificent writing, Professor Tyson mentions reducing our dependence on foreign oil. She fails to mention the huge increase to our dependence on foreign debt-holders.
Selling bonds to foreigners is far riskier to American security than buying oil from foreigners.
