Patriots

So back during the campaign our VP said that paying taxes was patriotic...well that's not how I'd describe my feelings towards taxes but we'll follow his lead for now. My question for the new team in town is how come you keep hiring people to lead us out of the financial crisis that can't even figure out their own taxes? Seems poor Mr. Daschle had to fork over some $140,000 in unpaid taxes so he could be slotted into the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Of course who can forget our Treasury Secretary Mr. Geithner who's supposed to be a genius at all this financial stuff and yet has issues when using a tax program millions of Americans use each year.

Call me crazy but this stuff really makes me wonder how they're going to manage billions when they can't even manage their own finances...

CONGRATS!!!

In an odd twist of fate both myself and my awesome friend Bef both get jobs within a day of each other.

Now she's got one less excuse from dragging herself and her hubby out west!

:)

no hate like liberal hate...

-You did not, at any time, vote for George W. Bush and are not Republican.

So, as I cruise through blogs and dating sites I've decided to throw statements like the one above in here. I'm doing it because I like pointing out the hypocrisy coming from the left and maybe someday I'll be able to hit 100 posts on this blog. Now before my libtard friends get their feathers in a ruffle I'm not saying that being hypocritical is unique to the left so no need to go pointing out all the idiots on the right, there are plenty.

Now, as for that quote, well I'm sure it won't surprise anyone that this woman says she resides in San Francisco, she is 51 and speaks French. One of the things she says she's good at is (in French) making meaningless phrases sound sexy... Apparently President Bush had this mystical power that effected her breathing because she's happy to report that she feels like she can breath again now that President Obama is in office. Her job is listed in the 'medicine/health' category...so one would think if she was having problems breathing for the last 8 years she could have done something about it. She's well read and enjoys a wide variety of activities, cultures and foods - something San Francisco offers a lot of. Oh and she looks good for her age.

Basically she's someone that while I would have no romantic interest in her, I most likely would find enjoyable topics to talk about with her...but she discriminates against others SO she gets a big fat ZERO.

My thoughts on the whole hypocrisy bit is that it seems like the Left loves to champion the freedom to be who you want to be...gay, communism, atheist, just about anything with an 'anti' in it and they expect everyone else to be accepting of these views. They push the belief that you can be what ever you want to be. Sounds good to me. If you're gay, I'm happy for you but I really don't want to see you behave any more explicitly than you see hetero couples act in public so instead of the stuff that goes on at the Folsom Street Fair...please limit it to holding hands and occasionally kissing. If you believe in communism, no problem there, the concept is cool but I don't think it works because people are greedy. You don't like God...that's your problem not mine...hope you're right when you die. The only thing that bothers me about religion is the whole anti-Christmas bit...I like saying Merry Christmas to people, I'm not telling them they have to be Christians or that they have to believe in God, all I'm saying is that I wish them well, I hope they are enjoying a time society has set aside for things like family and kindness....and that they spend lots of money to help out all the businesses. When I say Merry Christmas I'm not trying to offend anyone and I won't be offended if you were to say Happy Holidays back....but if you get pissed off because of what I said I'll call you a Grinch and tell you to get a F'ing life.

Well I kind of got off track there (sorta) but the point is that the Left preaches acceptance and yet I sure see a lot of them that can't accept someone that views politics a bit differently. What gives?? I can accept that you have a different opinion than mine but I don't hate you for it. If you're female, cute and between 28-38 I might even be interested in you romantically. Just because I am a Republican doesn't mean I'm the devil...in fact most people that know me would say I'm a pretty nice guy. To bad you'll never know because you won't give me a chance....your loss.

how warm?

so one of the other stories making it's rounds today is how the dress code has been relaxed in the White House...so what? Yes there is a time for a jacket and tie but if you're just having meetings, why bother with the jacket unless you are trying to help out all the dry cleaners with more business. I hated having to dress up anytime I had to brief down there, especially since there were only certain days I could wear my uniform instead. Suits are expensive!

Nope, the part I'm laughing about is this quote “He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?” said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. “He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there.”

How long has it been since he's lived in Hawaii? How long has he lived in a city that is proud of it's chilly winters? How warm does it have to be to grow orchids in the winter? Isn't he one of the believers in Global Warming? Or is this another example of do as I say, not as I do.

All I know is that when ever I get hit with a larger than normal utility bill the first thing to be changed is the thermostat...colder in the winter (that's what sweaters are for) and less A/C in the summer. Of course I'm just a low earning tax payer...

I'd like some wagyu steak too Mr. President

24 people w/spouses plus whom ever else the Pres invited...how many ounces of wagyu steak do you think they had on hand?

**wish I was invited...I've never been able to try wagyu beef because it's just a little out of my budget.

Oink!

The final vote was 244 to 188. No Republicans voted for the bill, while just 12 Democrats voted against it.
As Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, "We won the election. We wrote the bill."

After all, it's not their money...

*before I get any comments I'll just point out that it's not just the three in the cartoon I am not pleased with, it's the fools in general that 'we' the people keep electing to govern us that I'm unhappy with. Term limits would be a nice thing...won't solve everything but it'd be a start.

behind closed doors...
