Obama's Tax Cur Lie

What? The pot getting a little too warm?

A Limbaugh caller's tax accountant warned about her coming Obama tax "cut." The one that gives "95% of all Americans" about  $13 more each week."  That Republicans  "said 'NO'  too!"  That one..  There is no decrease in the tax tables, so what you're getting is a tax deferral. Obama's tax cut will show up as income next year, so you'll have to pay it back. Unless you don't pay taxes, then you keep it all.  “ THE $1 TRILLION TAX INCREASE... '09 BUDGET SPENDS $11,833 FOR EVERY AMERICAN... Gingrich raps 'big-government' budget... Boehner: 'Spending barrage' just starting... DICK MORRIS: IT'S OBAMA SPREADING PANIC... Obama's charity tax limits upset Democrats and Republicans... ” Also - Russian bomber neared Canada on eve of Obama visit...Timing was suspect... LOL, that was the Barn Army B-52.  We ran out of gas.

Three Percenters

GrumpyUnk recommended Sipsey Street Irregulars [The gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters.]  There's no doubt about it ... Dutchman6 is Barn Army Officer material. “ Can someone explain to me why, if the NYT gets its way and the current American regime provokes a civil war over gun confiscation, this shouldn't look like this? What is a "Three Percenter"? During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists. They were in turn actively supported by perhaps 10% of the population. In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored their cause but did little or nothing to support it. Another one-third of the population sided with the King (by the end of the war there were actually more Americans fighting FOR the King than there were in the field against him) and the final third took no side, blew with the wind and took what came. Three Percenters today do not claim that we represent 3% of the American people, although we might. That theory has not yet been tested. We DO claim that we represent at least 3% of American gun owners, which is still a healthy number somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million people. History, for good or ill, is made by determined minorities. We are one such minority. So too are the current enemies of the Founders' Republic. What remains, then, is the test of will and skill to determine who shall shape the future of our nation. The Three Percent today are gun owners who will not disarm, will not compromise and will no longer back up at the passage of the next gun control act.  ...  [cont] ”

This flick could have easily slipped by you.  I ordered it from NetFlix  as a "go along to get along" request from the wife.   This is a rare movie, indeed.  If you're rough and tumble, with a day job like, say,  sneaking into enemy compounds and slitting throats, you'll love this .  If you're a woman, you'll love it.  Not a single mention of  liberal politics either.  It's a feel-good win-win-win.

Poseur challenged again

Major General says president's eligibility needs proof

"... we would be stuck with Joe Biden whose only redeeming attribute is that he is probably not a communist."

“ If recalled, he would be "unable to follow any orders given by a constitutionally unqualified commander in chief, since by doing so I would be subject to charges of aiding and abetting fraud and committing acts of treason," he wrote. "What I really want is the truth; is Obama a natural born citizen of the United States. If not a natural born citizen, America has been defrauded and then we would be stuck with Joe Biden whose only redeeming attribute is that he is probably not a communist." - Maj. Gen. Carroll D. Childers, Ret. ” Don't underestimate the significance of this; I'll assure you Obama Central is not.  Aside from turning up the heat on the lawsuits questioning his legitimacy, it confirms, I think,  that in the event of armed rebellion against the the forces of evil, we can depend on at least some support from the military, which will be crucial.. As we speak, I expect the Obama camp is formulating ways to purge the General staff of all but the most loyal. Not loyal Americans; loyal Obamanites.  With G_od's help, things won't go that far, and Obama will be forced out of office, and voters will cleanse congress. I'm glad this is getting out in the open.  How long before Eric Holder starts arresting people?

The Formula That Killed Wall Street

Smoke

Gaussian copula formula

Felix Salmon's  Recipe for Disaster: The Formula That Killed Wall Street takes a complex subject and seems to make it understandable.  The problem I'm having is with his conclusion: that David X Li's  Guassian copula formula's use by the financial markets killed your 401(k) .  I'll use his analogy to illustrate my problem with his position, that oversimplifying the correlation parameter skewed the risk assessment process.  Did I get that right?  Close enough?  Okay. To understand the mathematics of correlation better, consider something simple, like a kid in an elementary school: Let's call her Alice. The probability that her parents will get divorced this year is about 5 percent, the risk of her getting head lice is about 5 percent, the chance of her seeing a teacher slip on a banana peel is about 5 percent, and the likelihood of her winning the class spelling bee is about 5 percent. If investors were trading securities based on the chances of those things happening only to Alice, they would all trade at more or less the same price.  But, the boy sitting next to Alice has head lice, and his mother hides the fact to spare him a shunning.  The school's principal is soon assessed of the now school-wide epidemic of head lice by the school nurse.  He  pays her to keep quiet about it so parents won't be upset.   Are you scratching your head?  Wait.  Change "head lice" to "worthless Fannie Mae mortgages." School nurse becomes Congressional Democrats like Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, and Barney Frank. "Principal" of course is Fannie Mae's board, made rich by selling air. It wasn't until everyone in the city had head lice that the problem so rudely manifested itself.  No compound formula was needed to rate risk assessment by that time.  It's 100%.   What am I missing?  Must be something, because these guys are PhDs.

Impeach Obama with Extreme Prejudice

THE MONSTER'S BALL

I propose that we have a virtual dictatorship over us that, in little over a month in power, has: expanded the role of the federal government, and put it in "such a dominant position that its power can never be rolled back."¹ announced an intention to impose a gun ban on all semi-automatic weapons, which effectively means all guns. imposed, and funded, Hillary Health Care without debate. created "czars" who usurp  oversight powers of congress announced a redistribution of wealth package worthy of  Lenin. Have I missed anything?  You bet.  Since it's against the law to call for the violent overthrow of this monster Obama, we can only do what we've done.  Pray that a meteorite will strike the White House, and Capitol Hill, transforming the area into the future Lake Reagan, and forcing a new start, from scratch, and within the framework of the original Constitution. A friend shared this vision with me; one that comports with my own.  Which explains my sudden nihilistic view of life. “ ... there is going to be an awful lot of damage done in the next few years, it's gonna be bad.  Things here in the United States of America are going to go from bad to worse.  Right now, I view that as a good thing because if it gets bad enough, we might be able to turn things around at the mid-term elections, but if we don't or can't due to voter fraud, it will be too late and it will take a revolution to take this country back from the socialists before they succumb to islam.  and still, we may lose.   The endtimers believe we will lose, at least for a while, and will need G-d himself to intervene.   I can see a future where terror will land here on our shores and Americans start going boom in the streets and malls, and I can see a future were obama will use those attacks to take our freedom from us to protect us from the terrorists, first by curtailing our ability to travel about the country freely, and then curtailing travel from rural areas into the cities, finally isolating us from one another.  And I can see obama then cutting off our communications with each other and blaming it on sabotaged by terrorists, and then the round-ups of citizens can begin quietly and go unreported and unknown by the population until its their turn to disappear or become enslaved.   Yes.  I can see that future, and it scares the shit out of me. ” I'm skipping my Prozac.  I don't shoot any better without it, but I do shoot quicker.

Arlo's head on a plate?

Re: Political Cross-dresser Arlo Sphincter

Every day brings a ray of sunshine, if you'll only look for it.

“ Pennsylvania Republican Committee Chairman Robert Gleason Jr. said in an interview today that the state party may not support Sen. Arlen Specter in the Republican primary next year -- a day after his national counterpart suggested that GOP supporters of the economic stimulus bill could take a hit in upcoming elections. Specter's vote for the economic stimulus bill ruffled GOP feathers throughout the country, but particularly in Pennsylvania, where the lawmaker has always stood on shaky ground with conservatives. He eked out a challenge from former Rep. Pat Toomey in a primary in 2004. ” Pennsylvania Avenue

Talking to Pimples

At the heart of our discontent is knowing that the perception of truth has largely supplanted truth in this Republic. Knowing this has led to a serious case of political erectile dysfunction.  I mean, why even try any more?  You know there ain't gonna be no penetration. Doug Ross, for instance, offers a lovely graph that documents - for the umpteenth time - the myth of  Clinton's golden touch. It's well worth reading his timeline, and -- just maybe -- there's a Liberal canker-blossom, or two, in your orbit who'll have an epiphany when you copy them. Here's another truth that I, and thousands of others have previously posted.  It's one of the many smoking gun references to how Clinton and the Democrats went about destroying the nation's financial underpinnings.  Here's the full file (courtesy of Cuzzin Ricky).  Keep this in your holster too, although it's obvious to me at this point that only blue steel and cordite are of any use against this bunch.

Burglar Caught Dirty

Couple make burglar clean their home at gunpoint

“ “My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home. And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband’s hat sitting right on his head,” Mrs. McKinnon said. Mr. McKinnon held suspect Tajuan Bullock at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do. “We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor,” Mrs. McKinnon said. When the police arrived the work-shy burglar had the cheek to complain to them - about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint. “This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house,” said Mrs McKinnon. But the police officer laughed at Bullock when he complained and told him that anybody else would have shot him dead. ” Joy.

Cal Ripkin President

Ann Preens

The Cal Ripkin President “ Are we going to have to hear about this for the next four years? Obama is becoming the Cal Ripken Jr. of presidents, making history every time he suits up for a game. Recently, Obama also became the first African-American president to order a ham sandwich late at night from the White House kitchen! That's going to get old pretty quick. But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the House? Obama spent more than twice as much time in his historic speech genuflecting to the teachers unions than talking about terrorism, Iraq or Afghanistan. So it was historic only in the sense that Obama is the first African-American president, but was the same old Democratic claptrap in every other respect. (Column continues ) ”

When I viewed this video (below) of Rahm Emmanuel's address to Brady Gun Nuts awhile back, I found it cryptically disturbing. Hence the bookmark. I heard Emmanuel promising that, once elected, Democrats would make sure that terrorists on the "no fly" list would no longer be allowed to own guns, despite what the NRA wants.  Well, duh.  WTF was he talking about?  Since when did the NRA lobby to put guns in the hands of Gitmo eligibles?  That's what democrats do.  Cloaked in all the gobbledygook, seemingly, was the promise to legislate an expeditious way of placing gun owners on that no fly list, which Ipso Facto puts them in immediate violation.   Given the audacity our current crop of Democrat overseers has shown, nothing would surprise me.  I'm not saying this is it, but it made me revisit the video.  "Domestic violence" is as wispy and pliable a concept as "hate speech."
