MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

musings on a Thursday

So Obama is channelling Reagan? Tearing down walls in Berlin. How far the world has fallen when this empty rhetoric is applauded.

Obama says raising the capital gains rate won’t hurt the economy or the country. His adviser on this is the impeccable Warren Buffet. Warren says it, so it must be so. After all, Warren only has our best interests at heart. Has anyone analyzed Warren Buffets primary income streams? He doesn’t make money buying and selling. His style has pretty much been buy low and hold. Get dividends. Buy up companies and take profit. He won’t pay capital gains on that kind of income stream so of course he doesn’t mind. I wonder if he would be so generous if we tossed taxes on trust funds and holdings. For the rest of us joes out there, a 25% capital gains rate will eliminate liquidity from the market. Not all, obviously, but enough to damage the economic expansion that Obama would be trying to cull.

During the patriot act vote, there was a provision that said if we find a group that we think are terrorists, we can investigate them in secret for 6 months. Obama joined the side that killed it and instead put one in that says you have to inform them in 7 days. So instead of watching and learning about them, Obama says with his vote that he wants to call them. “Hey, Osama, how’s it going buddy! Just so you know, we’re kind of watching you. Don’t do anything different, now. Go ahead and tell us what your plans are and we’ll stop. Oh, and have a nice day. Remember, we don’t judge in this administration!” Unfit for command.

I’ve been looking for Obama’s commercial where he takes credit for welfare reform even though he voted against it. If you can find it, please leave it in comments.

In Hungary, a court actually ruled that pelting gay people with eggs is protected free speech. Wonder if we can get that here and apply it to throwing rocks at hippies.

There is a place called Bristol Downs in England. It hasn’t been kept up much. There are large unkept hedges all over and the gay guys like to meet there for their sexcapades. One day a group of firemen on a fire truck decided to have some fun and flash their spotlight on the “gentlemen” in the park sending the scattering in all directions. The firemen were disciplined, fined and transferred. After all, how uncaring of them interrupting illegal sex and all.

Same place, different time. The city decided to clean up said park because of all the naked men having sex in public. They gays protest because to stop them from having illegal sex in public at a park is discrimination. Coming (HA!) soon to a town near you.

I love these Japanese prank shows…

On that note, it’s time for bed.
