Scam Alert
No this one isn’t about deposed Nigerian princes needing to transfer their wealth. This one is about a village in Kenya that’s missing it’s idiot. And some of his ideas.
Ignore all the gas crap and just look at how the stupid car buyer got taken to the cleaners:
If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you get $4500 off for an apparent “savings” of $1000.
However, you have to pay taxes on the $4500 come April 15th (something that no auto dealer will tell you). If you are in the 30% tax bracket, you will pay $1350 on that $4500.
So, rather than save $1000, you actually pay an extra $350 to the feds. In addition, you traded in a car that was most likely paid for. Now you have 4 or 5 years of payments on a car that you did not need, that was costing you less to run than the payments that you will now be making.
But wait; it gets even better: you also got ripped off by the dealer.
For example, every dealer here in LA was selling the Ford Focus with all the goodies, including A/C, auto transmission, power windows, etc for $12,500 the month before the “cash for clunkers” program started.
When “cash for clunkers” came along, they stopped discounting them and instead sold them at the list price of $15,500. So, you paid $3000 more than you would have the month before… (Honda, Toyota , and Kia played the same list price game that Ford and Chevy did).
So let’s do the final tally here:
| You traded in a car worth: | $3500 |
| You got a discount of: | $4500 |
| -------- | |
| Net so far: | +$1000 |
| But there are taxes on the $4500: | $1350 |
| -------- | |
| Net so far: | -$ 350 |
| Amount the price was jacked up that month: | $3000 |
| ---------- | |
| Actual Real World Net: | -$3350 |
Oops. And it’s too late now.
We could also add in the additional taxes (sales tax, state tax, etc.) on the extra $3000 that you paid for the car, along with the 5 years of interest on the car loan, but let’s just stop here.
So who actually made out on the deal? The feds collected taxes on the car along with taxes on the $4500 they “gave” you. The car dealers made an extra $3000 or more on every car they sold along with the kickbacks from the manufacturers and the loan companies. The manufacturers got to dump lots of cars they could not give away the month before. And the poor, stupid consumer got saddled with even more debt that they cannot afford.
Obama and his band of merry men convinced Joe consumer that he was getting $4500 in “free” money from the “government” when in fact, Joe was giving away his $3500 car and paying an additional $3350 for the privilege.
Think this was stupid for those who were crazy enough to swallow this wonderful scheme?
Just wait until we get health care with no additional costs over what most of us now pay for health insurance and the best medical care in the world.
Think that scheme might be designed by the same people who came up with Cash for Clunkers?
This scam alert brought to you by Rancino. Thanks guy!

Stretching The Hypocrisy Envelope
Obama Pitches Jobs Program, Points Finger at GOP for Economic Mess
President Obama used his speech rolling out a stimulus-style jobs program Tuesday to point the finger at Republicans for allegedly facilitating the economic crisis and then foisting it off on his administration to solve.
While praising his own team for pioneering “ambitious” financial reform and “sweeping” economic recovery initiatives, the president took some pointed shots at Republicans who are now blasting the latest package as a spend-crazy “stimulus two” that will drill deeper into the deficit.
“We were forced to take those steps (to jump-start the economy) largely without the help of an opposition party which, unfortunately, after having presided over the decision-making that had led to the crisis, decided to hand it over to others to solve,” Obama said, starting his address with a history lesson on the roots of the recession.
Republicans, however, slammed Obama for dipping into the federal piggy bank once again to finance a jobs program that might or might not work.
“This is stimulus two. They won’t call it a stimulus,” House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.
“The policy of this administration is if you’ve got it, spend it,” said House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence, R-Ind.
Obama said the crisis was caused not just by economic weakness but the “weakness in our political system”—one corroded by the “bitterness of partisanship,” and the “endless campaigns focused on scoring points instead of meeting our common challenges.”
What a cocksucking little douche bunny this guy is. Get him a job in the movie theater because he’s a total projectionist. Get him a job in the Greek orchestra because he’s the greatest lyre playa ever. Get him a job with the EPA doing supersite cleanup on all the toxic waste he spews. Get him a job anywhere doing anything. Just get him out of the White House.
Yes, the Republicans are partly to blame for this mess. So are the Democrats. Home Slice has been in power for a year now. It’s long past time to STFU about Eviiil Boooosh.
No, I’m not putting in the link. It’s on Fox. But it’s SSDD, and let’s spend another $50 billion. Same ol’ same ol’. Why even bother?

Mark Penn’s two firms got $6 million from stimulus for PR campaign
By Alexander Bolton - 12/09/09 12:00 AM ETNearly $6 million in stimulus money was paid to two firms run by Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s pollster in 2008.
Federal records show that $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus helped preserve three jobs at Burson-Marsteller, the global public-relations and communications firm headed by Penn.
Burson-Marsteller won the contract to work on a public-relations campaign to advertise the national switch from analog to digital television. Nearly $2.8 million of the contract was issued to Penn’s polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, according to federal records.
The article goes on to mention the dickless Republicans, doing too little too late. As usual. But look! Something new!
The GOP senators highlighted the direction of the stimulus funds on the same day Obama outlined a new series of proposals for creating jobs that Republicans view as another stimulus measure. The proposals include tax cuts for small businesses, tax incentives for employers to hire new workers and infrastructure spending.
The need for additional measures has raised questions over the efficacy of the stimulus package passed earlier this year.
Oh, I get it. Now that Fearless Reader and his underling the Wicked Witch have paid off all the unions, all the left wing racketeers like ACORN, provided fat cash to all their pals, given massive paybacks to all of their political contributors, and built an unvetted cabal of communists, anarchists, pedophiles, and raving socialists at the very top of the government, NOW they can step back a little and start putting classical Conservative measures into place that have been proven time and time again to be the only things that actually stimulate the market.
Because taking care of all your pals, and making sure that they’re all nearly drowning in cash is far more important than helping the nation recover. That’s merely an afterthought.
Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) said the three jobs saved at Burson-Marsteller represented a poor value for taxpayers.
“It illustrates a very poor way to create jobs,” Kyl said. Kyl said the appropriateness of Democratic strategists receiving funds “depends on whether they exerted some influence.”
The digital television advertising campaign ranked as No. 3 on the list of 100 projects that GOP senators on Tuesday highlighted as “pure waste” in the billions of stimulus funds spent this year.
Senator Kyl is just as clueless as that other Arizona Senator. He’s drunk the Kool-Aid, and buys into the “jobs saved = jobs created” mantra. Idiot. AND he’s implying that it’s OK for this PR firm to get such a payback IF they had influence? Influence where Kyl baby? With the Hildabeast? Well, no shit. With the effectiveness of their ad campaign? Double idiot! The government never should have spent one red cent on such a campaign to begin with. Getting that analog to digital TV message out was the responsibility of the TV networks. Not the government. And please ... we all knew it was coming years ago, to the point that we all just shook our heads when the switchover was delayed yet again last time. Everybody knew, and was beyond sick of hearing about it. So NO: forking out a truck load of cash to her PR firm to run such a info campaign less than 2 months before the instantiation date was a total waste. That too was a payback.
We are so screwed.

Let’s Put Air Shocks On The Bus
so we can raise the damn thing up another foot to have enough room to fit this ... this ... filthy pervert underneath. Then let’s push it over a cliff onto the electrified, poison coated spikes on the roof of the explosives factory.
h/t to Cmblake6 via McGoo, lining to Astute Bloggers who link to Gateway Pundit where a commenter notes that Malkin is also running the story (I can’t be everywhere ya know, and this is what I get for taking the weekends off. This was Friday’s news.)
Doing the investigative work the dinosaur, Obama-enabling media won’t do, Scott Baker and a collaborative research team have waded through the sexually explicit reading list endorsed by safe schools czar Kevin Jennings and the group he founded — GLSEN.
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit posts the team’s report. Make sure you have an empty stomach before you read.
Hoft:
Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings was the founder, and for many years, Executive Director of an organization called the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN started essentially as Jennings’ personal project and grew to become the culmination of his life’s work.
These are excerpts from the government approved - by this man Jennings - the government approved reading list for your high school child. Hardcore homosexual pornography, describing in high detail acts that are often illegal as hell. Sexual encounters between children in the first grade. And worse. Far worse. And all of this is “normal”. And protected.
The nicest part I can find to quote from.
We shared our toys and spent many summer days building sandcastles on the beach. On rainy days I’d walk down to Billy’s house where we spent the day reading books and building racetracks and playing sex therapist in his basement. We were human beings who knew no social inhibitions and were willing to explore our sexuality to its fullest.
And it gets far far worse than this. Worse by several orders of magnitude. With pictures too. I won’t even print it. Follow the links above, please. Please read the excerpts. Read, judge, comment. Maybe I’m seeing it wrong. But I don’t think so.
Gay is gay. Fine. Who cares? Consenting adults. Just close the blinds first, m’kay? What we’re seeing here is pedophilia. This is what Jennings is all about. Criminal perversion. Get this freak out of the White House today.
According to GLSEN’s own press releases from the period during which its recommended reading list was developed, the organization’s three areas of focus were creating “educational resources, public policy agenda, [and] student organizing programs”; in other words, the reading list (chief among its “educational resources”) was of prime importance in GLSEN’s efforts to influence the American educational system.
Out of curiosity to see exactly what kind of books Kevin Jennings and his organization think American students should be reading in school, our team chose a handful at random from the over 100 titles on GLSEN’s grades 7-12 list, and began reading through.
What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.
We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.
We knew that unless we carefully documented what we were reading, the public would have a hard time accepting it. Mere descriptions on our part could not convey the emotional gut reaction one gets when seeing what Kevin Jennings wants kids to read as school assignments. So we began scanning pages from each of the books, and then made exact transcriptions of the relevant passages on each page.
Are we exaggerating, or misconstruing quotes that could be interpreted a different way? No: Read the passages below and judge for yourself. There’s no wiggle room. The language is explicit, the intent clear.
Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit.

I’ll publish anything
Rich K gets inspired by the Muse and cranks out a little Obama poem/tune.
The Muse Clio, reading a scroll, 435 BC
Except his muse has a bit more modern incarnation ...
My name’s Barak Obama and I don’t have a clue
So let invite a bunch of folks to tell me what to do
And after that Ill go to town
And let you see I’m just a clown
So smile and wave and don’t be shy
I’m hope and change and I don’t lie
Life is great and green as grass
I’m here to stay so Kiss My Ass!
Not bad for a first effort. So let’s push him for bigger and better. Poems, posts, graphics.
While I’ve got you here, I want to mention a failed Christmas present. I’ve got Conservative friends and relatives, so it’s always a no brainer to pick up Conservative books for Christmas. Funny thing though, I order them real early and then carefully read them first!
Anyway, I picked up a copy of Michelle Malkin’s Culture of Corruption. Horry Clap. You WANT to read this book. Even if you thought you were on top of the cronyism and all it’s corrupt interconnectivity, it’s bigger than you realized. And uglier. This is a fantastic read, but ... it’s pretty dark. Ann Coulter books make better presents; at least she’s a wise ass half the time and that’s good for a chuckle or two. CoC is serious stuff. And it will scare the shit out of you, upset you, piss you off, and make you afraid for the future of America. Thanks ever so much, 52ers.

Pwned!
A comment from over at Hotair.com by reader Unseen, from their post about Sarah Palin’s book selling 300,000 copies it’s first day. Love it:
Slate magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin. In its reader forum, The Fray, one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor’s writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:
“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”
Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder. One guffawed, “That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a (sic) honorable mention, at any rate.”
But soon, the original contributor confessed: “I probably should have mentioned that the sentence quoted above was not written by Sarah Palin. It’s taken from the first paragraph of Dreams From My Father, written by Barack Obama.”
[or was it by Bill Ayers? Either way, this is probably the first criticism any part of that book has received from the left]

Um, how can it be an interview if Fox isn’t a valid news organization? I guess it’s another puff piece, like O’s talks with Vanity Fair
No, this sounds like the real deal!

You Betcha
Sarah Palin: Thank you, Washington, for Requesting a Demonstrably Good Idea
I commend the president for acknowledging today that “there are limits to what government can and should do” to ease our 10.2% unemployment rate – the highest it’s been since 1983. I also applaud his call for suggestions and expression of openness to considering “any demonstrably good idea.” Taking him at his word, I’d like to suggest this one: let’s learn from history and follow the example of the man who occupied the White House in 1983 and was able to transform an even worse recession than the one we’re currently experiencing into the largest peacetime economic expansion in American history.
When you realize the magnitude of President Reagan’s achievements, there is absolutely no reason why anyone would ignore his “demonstrably good” example. If you want real job growth, cut taxes – including capital gains taxes and small business payroll taxes – and slay the death tax once and for all. If you want to stimulate the economy and help poor and middle class families, cut payroll taxes so that more Americans can keep and invest more of what they earn.
If you want lasting economic expansion and prosperity, get the federal government’s budget under control. Instead of more pork-laden stimulus plans, let the free market correct itself. That’s what Reagan did, and history proves it worked.
In his comments today, the president honorably suggested that he welcomes our ideas on how to put America’s economy on the right track. But, there also seemed to be a suggested chastisement of the private sector’s efforts to right some economic wrongs when he said, “...small businesses and large firms...have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.”
As business owners seek to expand, or just to keep doors open today, it’s not as if they are refusing to hire out of spite. Given a pro-private sector environment they will be only too happy to hire more people and grow their businesses. Perhaps if leadership in Washington reassured them by, for example, cutting tax burdens and making government more efficient, it would send our businesses a message that it’s safe and smart to expand today.
These are difficult times for so many Americans who are out of work. I implore our leaders to not threaten our economy’s job creators with increased taxes and job-killing schemes like cap-and-tax and the government health care takeover. Government needs to get out of their way and off their backs so that they can grow and hire again.
The lessons of history are clear. We’re blessed to have so many lessons from which to learn, and we’d be smart to emulate successes in America’s past. Our economic recovery decisions should be based on the same free market principles that Reagan employed. They work, history proves it, and I thank our president for asking for this input.

A Class Act
Former President George Bush and his wife Laura visit Fort Hood, spend hours visiting the wounded. No press coverage wanted. Compare that to the classless pretender’s “Oh, and another thing, there’s been this massacre in Texas” bit glued on to the end of his closing notes talk at some indian conference. Sunnuvabeetch couldn’t even be bothered to finish one talk then go outside to the porta-podium to make a separate delivery. He sure supports the military right down to the bone, don’t he?
Class vs. trashtastic.

FROM THE …. WTF DEPARTMENT ?????? WATCH AND PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN’T FOR REAL.
Is this something that was put together and altered somehow?
The reason I ask is ... this thing runs 9 minutes and there’s enough here to make me wanna toss my dinner long,long before the end.
I better be honest with you. I haven’t been able to watch all of it. What I saw made me sick.
So ... how come this is the first time I’ve caught this and then only because a former neighbor in CA sent it to me. ???
Or, has it been around awhile and I just missed it? The screen says CNN but I really don’t recall any big bru-ha-ha over these statements.
Or maybe the many are strung together here and say more then short sound bites.
All this talk about the great contributions of islam. Yeah? What contributions in the last 500 years?
I’m taking a Xanax and going to bed ... Try and have a good wkend. Maybe hold off watching this till Monday?

No More Excuses
Just wondering ... now that Karzai’s opponent Abdullah Abdullah has bowed out bowed out of the runoff runoff, making that event moot ... does this mean that the planes are flying and the ships are sailing, all full of more troops and gear for Afghanistan? That was the hold up, right? Couldn’t Support The Troops until a more stable government was enabled by another round of voting?
But in the end, the Obama administration is likely to stick by the Afghan president. It has few other good options.
Karzai is far from the strong and capable partner that Washington had hoped would emerge from the electoral process that it and Western allies had pushed for in Afghanistan. They hoped the elections would stabilize the country and bleed support from the Taliban.
But the process effectively ended in turmoil Sunday, even as the war with the Taliban intensifies. Karzai’s challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, bowed out only six days before a scheduled runoff, charging that no fair election was possible.
Now the United States, barring other developments, must find a way to work with Karzai, who was widely favored to win the runoff anyway, and encourage him to embrace supporters of Abdullah and other groups opposed to the Taliban.
Unless such groups are brought into the government, the Taliban are likely to grow in strength, capitalizing on widespread public discontent with the ineffectual government.
“The government is more of a headache for us than the Taliban,” said Ahmed Shah Lumar, a businessman in Kandahar in the south, who complains that development plans in his area gather dust waiting for government approval.
Karzai enjoyed close ties with President George W. Bush’s administration, which maneuvered him into power when the Taliban first collapsed in 2001.
But he fell out of favor when Barack Obama took the White House. U.S. officials have since been openly critical of Karzai as a weak leader, beholden to warlords whom he cultivated as allies.
Nevertheless, the Obama administration clearly concluded at some point that for all his faults, Karzai was the best it could get, given the ethnic and political realities of this impoverished country.
“We are going to deal with the government that is there,” White House presidential adviser David Axelrod. “And obviously there are issues we need to discuss, such as reducing the high level of corruption. These are issues we’ll take up with President Karzai.”
So I’m expecting to hear the good word on the Monday morning news. Right?
Bleh. Ok, time for me to go to my second Sunday job. Only a little painting left there this week. L8ter.

Obama loses even at NPR
White House 29%
Survey tries to see which side people are on. People respond more than 3 to 1 in favor of the news network. And this is a poll on NPR, where all the cool metro-liberals hang out.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.html
Why not stop in, vote for your fav, and add to the nearly 1000 comments?
I wish Fox was better. I wish they did more reporting and less talking heads yap fests. I wish they would expand their circle of stories instead of repeating the same 10 things all day long. After all, they’re on 24 hours a day. It’s not like they don’t have time. If they could do coverage like ITN World News, even for just 30 minutes 4 times a day, it would be great.
And while they do seem to be the only network questioning what goes on in DC, in general they are still days behind the internet. And please, give away Geraldo. Gak.

Obama’s Newest Tyrant Buddy?
Is there one single despot this assclown won’t befriend? What’s the point here? Are we running low on bloodstones? The best way to contact this scumbag is with a JDAM.
The United States is preparing to send a rare mission to Burma but warns that its bid to engage the military junta after decades of hostility will be “slow and painful.”
Kurt Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia, said a team would head to Burma to follow up on talks last month in New York, which marked the highest-level US contact with the regime in nearly a decade.
But in testimony Wednesday before a House of Representatives committee, Campbell cautioned: “We expect engagement with Burma to be a long, slow, painful and step-by-step process.”
A Burma official on Thursday confirmed the “fact-finding” trip would take place next week. But the official gave no further details, saying the visit was still in the planning stages.
President Barack Obama’s administration last month concluded that the longstanding US approach of isolating Burma had failed to bear fruit but said it would not ease sanctions without progress on democracy and human rights.
In August, Burma’s military leader Than Shwe held an unprecedented meeting with a visiting US senator, Jim Webb, a leading advocate of engaging the junta.
Democratic Representative Joseph Crowley, one of Suu Kyi’s top champions in Congress, said he backed the new strategy in part because the Nobel laureate has indicated her support.
But Crowley warned: “It is a real possibility that the military regime will try and use ongoing talks to buy time, in order to proceed with a sham election they have scheduled for next year.”
The NLD plans to shun the elections, the first since a 1990 vote that the party won in a landslide. The junta ignored that result, and has kept Suu Kyi under house arrest for much of the past 20 years.
Representative Dana Rohrabacher, a conservative Republican, was one of the few to reject the US outreach altogether, questioning whether the Obama administration needs to learn more about the junta.
“With all due respect, we know all about Burma. It’s not an unknown quantity. It has a vicious gangster regime, one of the most despicable regimes in this planet,” he said.
“We are saying that they are a legitimate government to sit down with. They are not.”
I think that the most we will get out of this is yet another opportunity for some piss stained tin pot dictator to embarrass the United States. Thanks a bunch, ya stoopid Kenyan.
And if you have forgotten what the Burma situation is all about - not just their psycho crazy leader not allowing all those relief supplies after the typhoon the other year - Gateway Pundit has more: in 2007 several thousand Buddhist monks lead a protest for democracy. The government gunned them down in the streets. A Japanese journalist was covering the protest. They killed him too. Murdering thugs run Burma, and they have turned the entire country into slaves. We don’t need to talk to them. We need to kill them. And then let the Burmese form a new government. But no. This is Obama’s new plan of “engagement” at work. Let’s talk to all our enemies, all the shitdogs around the world. And maybe we can talk them into holding hands, making S’Mores around the campfire, and singing Kumbayah with us. Riiiiiight.
It also takes a remarkable degree of cynicism—or perhaps cowardice—to treat human rights as something that “interferes” with America’s purposes in the world, rather than as the very thing that ought to define them. Yet that is exactly the record of Mr. Obama’s time thus far in office.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
