Foreign money is fleeing the U.S as a direct result of the ongoing tax and spend frenzy. Neither a projected $1.2 trillion deficit for 2009 nor a new 16-year high (7.2%) unemployment rate has slowed the massive redistribution of our tax dollars.

Memo to liberals: The total value of the bailouts undertaken by the federal government in 2008 now exceeds the combined cost of every major war the United States has ever engaged in, according to the Congressional Research Service

 

As the economic crisis expands, Obama signals his main priorities, saying he isn't ruling out prosecuting Bush officials for abuse. "No-one is above the law", he gravely intoned. He then called on all Americans to sacrifice more and, by the way, he might not be able to live up to his campaign promises.

Before I grind my teeth to stubs, I'll take a cue from the left and move-on:

Traditional Shi'ite mourning ritual

In what appears to be a new trend, female baristas in Seattle-area coffee shops are shedding their clothes and donning lingerie and skimpy outfit in order to percolate business.

This isn't exclusive to Seattle. A one-time motel in a small central Maine town could soon be offering an eye-opening way to start the day — topless coffee shop waitresses. For the record, staring at bare breasts isn't the way I want to start my day. Oops, does that make me a homophobe?

The fact that California is out of money and will soon start closing state offices every other Friday hasn't stopped the legislators there from continuing to implement costly new laws. The latest zinger: Millions of Californians with limited English proficiency now have the right to an interpreter from their commercial health and dental plans – made possible by a first-in-the-nation law.

Meanwhile, new stats show that some 32 million U.S. adults (14%) can't read. No wonder - our government schools recently spent $67,000 on 30 cappuccino machines that no-one wants.

Businesses continue to sign up to the gay agenda with AFA reporting that PepsiCo has given $1,000,000 to companies promoting the gay agenda, while refusing to donate to any pro-family groups. Ditto, Campbells Soup. They're running a cute little commercial showing a family consisting of two moms. I'm awaiting their new soup - cream of PC.

I have a lot more news, but its all depressing. I've decided to exercise writer's discretion and skip to the weird, trivial and fun stuff:

TRIVIA:

Check out Hefner's new girlfriend. 22 year-old psychology student Crystal Harris (far right) has joined Hef and his current 19 year-old twin girlfriends in the Playboy mansion. She claims she's a 'good girl'. Viva Viagra.

Joe The Plumber has arrived in Israel in his new stint as a war correspondent, and he';s not happy. "You should be ashamed of yourself," he told foreign reporters. "You should be patriotic, protect your family and children, not report like you have been doing for the past two weeks" he said. I think I'm in love.

The body of a Somali pirate who drowned just after receiving a huge ransom washed onshore with $153,000 in cash. Talk about a bad hair day...



Till next week, keep smiling,
