*** begin quote ***

The White House ordered the Justice Department Thursday night to consider other places to try the 9/11 terror suspects after a wave of opposition to holding the trial in lower Manhattan.

*** end quote ***

Argh!

Last I checked the Justice Department WORKED FOR the White House?

I think I’d have different conversation than “asking”. A long the lines of “Bring me the head of the idiot who decide this!”

Does Holder have pictures of OBH44 with the proverbial goat?

How is he keeping his job?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The true cost of gooferment

*** begin quote ***

Many government educrats continued to receive “step” raises, “merit” raises, “cost of living” raises, raises “earned” by taking various “pedagogical” night courses, etc., in recent years, as always. Ask any government employee who claims to have “received no raises” for any period of years to show you his or her latest paycheck stub, and a paycheck stub from two or three years ago, to demonstrate that the base rate of pay has remained the same. In most cases, watch for the mumbling and backpedaling to then begin.

*** end quote ***

Bottom line: we can NOT afford gooferment education. Nor, all the pensions and benefit costs of all the gooferment workers.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Too many wars and things like wars

Talking Points: 1/14

*** begin quote ***

Another $100 million of American tax money heading to Haiti

*** end quote ***

BO’R brings up a good point: American aid will be stolen by a corrupt “government”.

He argues for intervention. Sorry, but it’s not our place to “give” freedom to the people of Haiti.

We have too many “wars”: “OCO — Overseas Contingency Operation aka Terrorism”Afpak, Iraq, “Some Drugs”, Poverty, yada, yada, yada.

Sorry, we have way too many wars!

Time to condense. Like Campbell’s soup, DoD: brings ALL the boys and girls home, condense all the intelligence into DOD, and let’s cut the foolishness. Save some bucks too!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Tax code is too complex

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126262857185115221.html  

*** begin quote ***

The Internal Revenue Service said it will begin requiring paid tax-return preparers to register with the agency, take competency exams and meet continuing-education requirements. Attorneys, certified public accountants and enrolled agents won’t be subject to the new testing and education plans. The changes will take years to implement and won’t be in effect for the 2010 filing season, the IRS said.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t anyone see this as a problem?

(1) The tax code is way too complex.

(2) Experts don’t need education or continuing education. (Guess experts are just better than actual people.)

(3) The IRS can’t get their orders out in a timely fashion.

The DOWGs (Dead Old White Guys) funded gooferment on tariffs. Should have been good enough for the limited functions that were allowed.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: You can’t make this stuff up

A bomb scare Tuesday at the Lindbergh terminal at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport brought things to a virtual halt.
By ABBY SIMONS and SUZANNE ZIEGLER, Star Tribune staff writers
Last update: January 5, 2010 – 7:17 PM

*** begin quote ***

Portions of the Lindbergh terminal at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport were evacuated for about 90 minutes Tuesday afternoon after a bomb-sniffing dog reacted as though there were something suspicious on a bag found in the baggage claim area.

As it turned out, the battered pink bag was airport property, the one crews put on the carousel to mark that all luggage has been unloaded.

*** end quote ***

Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.

It leaves me speechless!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Just say “no” to any gooferment official

Saturday, January 2, 2010

201001011251.jpg

http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2009/12/31/tsa-withdraws-subpoenas-over-leaked-security-directive/

*** begin quote ***

From my own experience with having federal agents at my door, let me say this: Remember that if law enforcement shows up at your door, you are in no way obligated to speak to them, and in no way obligated to hand over anything immediately if they hand you a subpoena. You can and should challenge (move to quash) such a subpoena in court, if you receive one. You only have to surrender anything immediately if they have a search warrant, and only if the thing is named on the search warrant. Other than that, say absolutely nothing until you can consult a lawyer. Be polite, of course, when you ask them for their business card and send them on their way.

*** end quote ***

Good advice for any interaction with the gooferment at any level.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: A new tax; just say “no”

A 400 Percent (and Higher) Excise Tax
  by Michael S. Rozeff

*** begin quote ***

The Wall Street Journal brings more bad news. A headline reads “Lawmakers Weigh a Wall Street Tax.” The first mention of this was in October. The proposal has not died as Congress seeks new ways to finance its profligate spending. Both houses are considering legislation.

*** end quote ***

I oppose ALL taxes. New or old. It’s just giving drugs to an addict.

Cut gooferment spending now!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Economic risks

Yes, we still have broken markets
Hank Kalet

*** begin quote ***

Two quotations from a story in The Washington Post on the financial crisis coming out of Dubai make it clear that, while the recession officially has ended, the economy remains very badly broken.

*** end quote ***

Our biggest economic danger is a two parter — imho.

First, the Chinese may stop buying our government debt. That, at the very least, will send interest rates into Carter-level numbers.

Second, (and more insidious), OPEC prices oil in other than dollars. Most likely will be gold. (imho) The implications are that gas will will be at unheard of levels. Think Argentina or Zimbabwe. Gas will be proportional to the price of gold. As the value of the dollar collapses.

Our congress critters think that they can spend like there is no day of reckoning. That’s what’s broken.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: 5B$ down the rathole

Freddie Mac posts $5 billion loss
* On 7:00 pm EST, Friday November 6, 2009
By Al Yoon

*** begin quote ***

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE – News; NYSE:FRE – News), the second largest provider of U.S. residential mortgage funding, on Friday posted a loss of $5 billion in the third quarter and predicted it would need more government support amid a “prolonged deterioration” in housing.

*** end quote ***

Well, isn’t that just great!

If it was a real business, we could just let it go to bankruptcy court.

Another “gooferment sponsored entity” that’s a rat hole for the taxpayer to pump more money into.

I’m sure the congress critters will certainly give them more money we don’t have.

Argh!

And, what’s the impact on the country, the taxpayers, and the people.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The USA always betrays its “friends”

The American way of abandonment
Posted: November 02, 2009
Pat Buchanan

*** begin quote ***

But what does it avail us to insult these people who have cast their lot with us, many of whom will, with families and friends, pay a far more terrible price than we if we lose these wars?

And if we are going to abandon these people, as we have so many others in the past, let us at least tell them, and ourselves, the truth. We didn’t know what we were getting into. We don’t have the stomach for a long war. We’re sorry we got you into this. Your big mistake was in trusting us. You folks should have known better.

*** end quote ***

Washington was right. Trade with all; alliances with none.

That would have been more honest. I remember that we screwed the Hungarians in their 1956 revolt against the Russians. Voice of America incited them and the gooferment left them hanging out to dry.

Argh!
