America is officially on the path to socialism as Democrats managed to pass the
largest spending bill in history, resulting in the largest ever transfer of power
to the federal government.
The bill was passed without any discussion, and without any of our elected officials
even having a chance to
read the final 1,073 page monstrosity. It appears the Democrats deliberately
included language designed to make it impossible to search the bill by keywords. Can you spell
sneaky?
We're just now finding out the details. It appears some Americans might see $14.00
more in their paychecks, while a mouse lucky enough to live in Nancy Pelosi's district got $30 million. Stay tuned...
Consider: $9.7 billion is enough to pay off more than 90% of the nation's home mortgages. Instead, our tax dollars
will be used to fund the left-wing agenda and pay off unions. Aargh!
The CBO estimates the true cost of this 'stimulus' bill isn't the face value of
$787 billion, but actually a whopping $3.27 Trillion. I'm glad I don't have any grandkids.
Oh well, we voted for these guys. Before I start ranting, I think I'll point out
some:
GOOD NEWS:
Four Southern states — Texas, South Carolina,
Oklahoma and Arkansas — are considering legislation that would allow people to
carry handguns openly in a holster.
Only 39 percent of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution"
and just 24 percent of those who attend church weekly believe in the explanation
for the origin of life.
Northern Ireland's
environment minister announced Monday he has banned the local broadcast of British
government ads on climate change and denounced their message as "insidious propaganda." Just
so.
That didn't stop Father Earth, Algore, from racking up another
'prize'. His 'An Inconvenient Truth' has won the 2009 GRAMMY Award for Best Spoken Word Album. The beat goes
on.
As the media
focused on their love affair with Obama, many important news stories slipped:
UNDER
THE RADAR:
Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton on Friday offered North Korea a peace treaty, normal ties and aid
if it eliminates its nuclear arms program, essentially the same deal N. Korea reneged
on in the past.
Major
changes to the Supreme Court are being urged by a group of 33 law professors,
former state supreme court justices and practitioners. They're urging the attorney
general and the heads of the Senate and House judiciary committees to consider four
major changes in the operation of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Obama has decided
on a new U.S. ambassador to Syria and is expected to lift sanctions against a nation charged with
aiding Al Qaida in Iraq and secretly building a nuclear reactor.
CULTURE:
Britain got their youngest father ever as a 13 year-old boy became a parent last
week. Apparently the parents of his 14 year-old lover allowed this kid to routinely
share a bedroom with their daughter. I wonder if they were
surprised it resulted in a baby.
Speaking of babies, Dr. Michael Kamrava, who implanted 6 embryos into an Angelina
Jolie wannabe (resulting in 8 new kids - making a total of 14 for the proud mom),
has yet another parent expecting quadruplets. The patient, who is in her late 40s,
wanted one baby. The good doctor transferred at least seven embryos to her. She
is now hospitalized without insurance.
TV stations in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Columbus, Ohio, have canceled a paid program from the American Family Association
titled “Speechless: Silencing Christians,” calling the content controversial.
A mother and father in New York were subjected by their school district's attorney
to a
faith "sincerity test," which ultimately ruled their beliefs were too questionable
to qualify for a religious exemption to mandatory student immunization.
A nude sushi restaurant is being proposed for Baltimore. Inquiring
minds want to know - Would you eat dead fish off a stripper?
Bad news for Batman. Batwoman is making her comic book come-back - as a lesbian.
There's more news but I think I've had enough. No matter how bad things get, its
important to keep a sense of humor. If not, we'll all turn into liberals.
SMILE:
Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India's Hindu nationalist
movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.
There has been a need for new technology to clean monitors from all the spit and
coffee spewed upon them. Well here it is, just one click and your dirty monitor will be cleaned. Gotcha.
RIGHT BIAS IDIOT AWARDS:
OF INTEREST:
Before I sign off, I'll leave you with some points to ponder. Diana West wrote a
fascinating article,
Who Attacked Our Economy? Why Does No One Care? It raises a legitimate
question about the start of this economic crisis and the possibility that it was
politically engineered. You can decide for yourself.
Till next week, keep smiling,
Nancy Morgan
