Tidbits From The News

   The President released 30 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves.  I didn’t know there was a shortage in the United States did you?  Have you had to wait in any lines?  I haven’t, and I have not seen any mention of lines anywhere within the confines of these United States.  The main reason given is a worldwide shortage due to upheavals in Libya.  Umm, “WE” do not get any significant amount of oil from Libya.  Bush ‘filled’ the oil reserves after finding it depleted by Clinton.  Those reserves are for an emergency, not high gasoline prices. But nooo, the U.S. released 50% of what was released worldwide… amazing. 

   Everyone is all atwitter regards the the confession of Mr. Vargas of the Washington Post.  He of course won a Pulitzer and has now confessed to being here illegally.  Would someone puleeze answer me a simple question.  Why do we even have passports?  If this crap is going to be condoned, why not just open the borders in toto?  Either we have laws or not, and evidently it is ‘NOT’.  Makes me physically ill. 

   Before it has ended, we are going to find out that the flooding along the Mighty Missouri River this year has been caused by mismanagement by the Corps of Engineers.  It is becoming more obvious by the day.  They are going to be found to have been cow towed by environmentalists among others.  We deserve precisely what we get, but let there be no doubt it is a disaster. 

   Now Geithner and company want to raise taxes on small business so they do not have to cut the size of government programs.  Small business is the engine that drives this economy whether anyone will agree or not. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/geithner-taxes-small-business-must-rise These guys don’t even ‘try’ to hide it anymore. The cliff is getting closer by the day.
