Making History a Lie at a Time

Geedub, in yet another bold attempt to create an alternate history, flying in the face of facts, has declared that the US is /NOT/ headed into recession.

Mission accomplished there genius, we are already in one.

Trust Them, it Isn't Their Fault

W T F!!!???

More guns did not kill people, again on Saturday, and yesterday, and today: and again, and again. . .

Sure these people are psychotic nut jobs but why does the government and special interest groups like the NRA insist on making it easy for them?

Feb 2, Man Shoots 5 Women to Death outside Chicago Clothing Store
Feb 7, Gunman Kills 5 in Missouri City Hall
Feb 8, Campus Shooter Kills 2, Then Self

Those are just the ones with more than three people dead in each incident since Feb 1st. A quick count online shows more than 20 people dead in shootings involving more than one person since Feb 1st.

Stopping the Madness

Senate Republicans are taking credit for blocking the current version of the stimulus package. They say that the added $40 billion over the next 2 years that would benefit the likes of the elderly, unemployed and homeless is a reckless waste. Boy, are they right! That reckless waste is almost (not quite, but almost) four whole months of war funding. Why waste money on the lazy homeless, the lazy unemployed, and the lazy old wrinkly folk when there are the industrious likes of Blackwater and Haliburton needing that money?

Good for you senators! Stop that wasteful spending!

2007 federal spending:
Defense: $654 Billion (not including emergency war spending: an additional $130 Billion)
Education: $102 Billion (2006 spending was $127 Billion)
Welfare: $254 Billion
