Killing The Kulaks

WHAT GUMMINT DOES          Franchisors warn Obamacare will halve profits “ [...] Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken franchiser David Barr, presumed that the reports about how hard Obamacare will hit them were overblown. "They had their head in the sand," he told Secrets. That is until he pulled out his powerpoint showing how funding Obamacare will cut his--and likely their--profits in half overnight. With simple math the small business folks understood, he spelled out that their only choice is to slash employee hours so they aren't eligible for company-paid health care or stop offering insurance and pay the $2,000 per employee fine. But that's not all. His experience tells him that most low-wage workers he would have to cover under Obamacare won't take it because their $995 share is too high, meaning those the program was set up for won't see any benefit. And those who do will because they have major health issues, likely resulting in higher premiums to him. Barr has 23 stores with 421 employees, 109 of whom are full-time. Of those, he provides 30 with health insurance. Barr said he pays 81 percent of their Blue Cross Blue Shield policy, or $4,073 of $5,028 for individuals, more for families, for a total bill of $129,000 a year. Employees pay $995. Under Obamacare, however, he will have to provide health insurance for all 109 full-time workers, a cost of $444,000, or two and half times more than his current costs. That $315,000 increase is equal to just over half his annual profit, after expenses, or 1.5 percent of sales. As a result, he said, "I'm not paying $444,000." Providing no insurance would result in a federal fine of $158,000, $29,000 more than he now spends but the lowest cost possible under the Obamacare law. So he now views that as his cap and he'll either cut worker hours or replace them with machines to get his costs down or dump them on the public health exchange and pay the fine. "Every business has a way to eliminate jobs," he said, "but that's not good for them or me." [FULL] I hope y'all watched that Glenn Beck video, where he compares the federal agencies created by FDR against the number that will be created by Obamacare.  Why?  I don't know, actually.  It's not like you don't know what a deadly threat he is to this nation. A threat even to the stuck-on-stupid classes who will vote for him again. ”

CODE PINK INTEL

Today's Intercepted Document “ Monied interests are corrupting our whole political system ...   in Charlotte, dubbed Wall Street South, we busted up big banks with giant bra toss actions outside Bank of America HQs. ... Next we’re taking our powerful pink action team to New York City to mark the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. Monied interests indeed. I'm obliged always to include bio information with this lot.  They were front and center during the "Arab Spring (into Muslim Brotherhood arms)" orchestrated rebellion that took down Mubarak, and they had administration help from guess who?  [From www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org] Next, the demonstrators prepared to go to Egypt, to participate in a Hamas-organized "Gaza Freedom March," again to protest Israeli policy. Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin told the media that Hamas “has pledged to ensure our safety” in Egypt. Joining Code Pink on the trip were former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Code Pink members “subscribe in varying degrees to strands of Marxist, neo-Marxist, and progressive left-wing thought, and their ideas belong to a long and complex history of radical politics going back to the early Bolsheviks.” Between 2008 and 2010, Code Pink made nine trips to Egypt in a campaign to undermine the Egyptian government, which was on friendly terms with Israel and was helping to enforce the Israeli blockade against Gaza. Then, when riots erupted in Egypt in late January 2011—ostensibly protesting the autocratic and corrupt regime of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak—Code Pink representatives were on the ground in Cairo from the very start of the uprising. In early February 2011, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin reported that her organization had already raised more than $10,000 for the anti-Mubarak protesters. In an effort to augment that sum, Code Pink issued an emergency appeal for an additional $5,000 to fund “the next big uprising” against the Egyptian government. Code Pink receives financial support from the Tides Foundation, the Streisand Foundation, and the New Priorities Foundation. [Code Pink Profile] ”

"Little Known Powers" indeed

ribbit                            Okay, make it a Filthy Obama Sangria “ The sign [ promoting the bar's “Marion Berry’s Dirty Asian Summer Punch.”] was removed Friday after a city agency threatened to drag Tomelden before the D.C. Commission on Human Rights in a rare display of the city’s little-known power to regulate speech in places of public accommodation. Little known power ?  I have to imagine (with a good deal of hope) that even our dysfunctional Supreme Court would invoke the very well known First Amendment  guaranteeing free speech in this case.  Disclosure:  This is what happens when Democrats are in charge ”

Durham v. Holder

John Durham is not Patrick Fitzgerald This one's for you Scooter “ Mr. Durham, recall, is the special prosecutor appointed in 2008 by then-Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate allegations that the CIA had illegally destroyed videotapes of CIA detainee interrogations. The prosecutor's mandate was expanded in 2009 by current Attorney General Eric Holder to look into allegations that CIA officers and contractors had abused and, in some cases, tortured and killed, as many as 101 detainees thought to have been in U.S. custody. This is the story about Eric Holder trying to game a special prosecutor, who then proceeded to rear-end him   But this is the part I LOVED about this article.  A drive-by shooting of Patrick Fitzgerald.   When Mr. Durham was first appointed, the Los Angeles Times called him the "second coming of Patrick Fitzgerald," reflecting a wish that the Connecticut prosecutor's investigation would do as much political damage to the Bush administration as the witch-hunting Chicago prosecutor's had. Encomia for Mr. Durham's competence and rectitude poured in from all quarters; the liberal New Republic called him "an effective mafia-busting prosecutor" who had "earned a nonpartisan, camera-shy, 'white-knight' reputation." Mr. Durham, it turned out, was all those things, which is another way of saying he's the exact opposite of the ambitious, media-obsessed and unscrupulous Mr. Fitzgerald—the man who convicted Scooter Libby of not being the man who leaked Valerie Plame's CIA identity to the media. ”

Waiter- This Coffee tastes like Obama!

SCIENCE        Gary Larsen            Why does coffee never taste as good as it smells? For many, the scent of freshly brewed coffee is the first highlight of the day. Now, scientists claim to have solved the mystery of why it never tastes as good as it smells. “ One sense is when you inhale things from the environment into you, and the other is when the air comes out of you up the nasal passage and is breathed out through the nose.”    The phenomenon is down to the fact that, although we have sensors on our tongue, eighty per cent of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell receptors in our nose. The receptors, which relay messages to our brain, react to odours differently depending on which direction they are moving in. [Full blah-blah] My coffee tastes like it smells.  I think.  Nothing I ever questioned  anyway.  So why did I post this article?  That should be obvious.  ”

Obama is Rosemary's Baby?

Rosemary's baby? “ The [Israel Science and Technology] website says that the White House’s release of the Obama document in April 2011, after years of controversy, “raised in our minds the possibility that there could be something suspicious about the information available on this document.”   The website conducted an independent analysis and cites others who came to the same conclusion— the publication “of such a blatantly fake document about something so basic as the birthplace of Mr. Obama, should raise great concern about the suitability of the person who is holding the reigns on the most powerful country of the World.” [Israeli science website: Obama birth certificate forged]   Well, something's being hidden here.  Everything, so far, about Obama's conduct has been the stuff of a horror film, so why not being the spawn of Satan?  Anyway—given their current circumstance, the Israeli government's release of this finding is not going to prompt the Prince of Darkness's aid against the soon to come—dare I say Armageddon?  Israel's Armageddon?  I reckon they had decided as much, and are letting the chips fall.  As for me, I continue to be gob smacked that this forgery is still open to debate.  Actually, it's worse; there is no debate.  I mean, come on, this is red meat for Sixty-Minutes.  But,  then too were eight years of the Clinton terror, which the CBS show managed to not notice even once, until Slick was on the impeachment dock.  That was a bit much for even them to ignore. ”

Egyptians angry at film scale U.S. embassy walls “ Egyptian protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and burned it during a protest over what they said was a film being produced in the United States that insulted Prophet Mohammad. In place of the U.S. flag, the protesters tried to raise a black flag with the words "There is no God but God, and Mohammad is his messenger", a Reuters witness said. What film?  You know what film.  You know what you did. There's no movie. The only film makers in the country with the balls are Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They don't answer my calls, but I'm assured they have nothing brewing.  What this is, of course,  is the Muslum faction of Moveon.Org rabble-rousing on demand.  Getting the peeps pumped up for the forthcoming attack on Israel, and giving US. Lliberals reason to shake their heads over American insensitivity.  Know this though.  String theory  postulates unlimited universes out there, and I just now created another one.  Where  the Middle East is turned into a sheet of glass,  and Barack Obama is  making totems for tourists in  Jakarta.  I'm off to find a portal.  All-ee, all-ee, outs in free! ”

What a Duzer

The Kill-Duzer Affair RAK's "moments after" e-mail was the first time I'd seen this.  RAK thought, and I agreed, that Larry Sinclair and Obama had run into each other.  Now we know better.  Claire's [I’m having trouble getting past this] take In my mind, the POTUS is the embodiment of The People and our representative to The World. Even when he’s in the bathroom. But particularly at a foto op. Just Me™? So I thought, maybe it’s the Gurrl in me not comprehending Guy Stuff, so I asked The Mister. Who is a Guy. We both think Scott Van Duzer, left, owner of Big Apple Pizza and Pasta Italian Restaurant is essentially a big, friendly dawg of a guy who meant no harm. [He clearly coulda broken Obobo's back but he didn't. so there's that.] But The Mister’s take was at 0:06 where he says “Everybody look at these guns!” and em-bare-assing the guy. Not quite “Looka them teats,” but not appropriate, either. Also the *joke* “What’re you a power lifter?” Power — geddit. Cuz he certainly couldn’t have been referring to his own significant weight in a rational world. Hell — *I* could lift that little toothpick.[cont] I think  commentor Jess at KisP nailed  it. Nobody touches the President…ever, unless they have clearance. So, the pizza dude is a fake, shill, plant, paid accomplice or P.O.S., depending on your choice of descriptions. Lose business? Just go bankrupt, like Solyndra and wait for Uncle Sugar to pay the tab, or realize you’re on your own and you just shit your pants. Dumbass. Another piece of toilet paper for a ruthless politician. Comment by Jess — September 10, 2012 @ 7:03 pm RAK's version would have been more fun.  Still. I love that this guy's friends, neighbors, and customer base so  spontaneously voiced their displeasure at Dozer's wasted opportunity.   That's a poll that can't be manipulated.
