GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The White House hustled the Chrysler bankruptcy judge?

Carefully orchestrated indeed

*** begin quote ***

The bankruptcy judge hearing the Chrysler case said Friday he wasn’t going to rule on the asset sale until today or Tuesday, but a call from the White House must have prompted him to move faster because he ruled in the wee hours of this morning.

See, the administration wanted to hold up Chrysler as an example of a “quick and speedy” bankruptcy, but Judge Arthur Gonzalez – deciding he needed more time to rule – put a crimp in those plans and left the White House looking at a GM filing today and Chrysler still in. Oops.

Remarkably, Gonzalez got all his work done just in time and filed his opinion after midnight to save the show.

I’m sure we’ll hear today when questioned that the White House had nothing to do with that timing, just as we’ve heard that it is not making management decisions at GM or Chrysler.

Please you expect “justice” from a government court when the President is involved?
Don’t make me laugh!
Sheeple!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment; do you trust it?

On the Anonymity of Home/Work Location Pairs

*** begin quote ***

“On the Anonymity of Home/Work Location Pairs,” by Philippe Golle and Kurt Partridge:

   Many applications benefit from user location data, but location data raises privacy concerns. Anonymization can protect privacy, but identities can sometimes be inferred from supposedly anonymous data. This paper studies a new attack on the anonymity of location data. We show that if the approximate locations of an individual’s home and workplace can both be deduced from a location trace, then the median size of the individual’s anonymity set in the U.S. working population is 1, 21 and 34,980, for locations known at the granularity of a census block, census track and county respectively. The location data of people who live and work in different regions can be re-identified even more easily. Our results show that the threat of re-identification for location data is much greater when the individual’s home and work locations can both be deduced from the data. To preserve anonymity, we offer guidance for obfuscating location traces before they are disclosed.

Bruce Schneier highlights that “anonymous data” ain’t so anonymous. AND, the Census is going to collect geo tracking data in the next census. Good bye privacy.

Who authorized the gooferment to do more than count?

Proving former President Ronald Reagan’s (R) adage that taxpayers vote with their feet, Tom Precious of the Buffalo News reports that billionaire Buffalo Sabres’ owner Thomas Golisano will save a reported $13,000 a day by moving from NY to Florida – punishing high income workers in New York state with a huge tax increase

See the gooferment in general, politicians and bureaucrats in particular, forget that the rich can modify their behavior. The poor have no such luxury.

Social Security, Medicare facing insolvency

*** begin quote ***

The U.S. Treasury, on a GAAP accounting basis, calculates the federal government had a $65.5 trillion negative net worth last year when the net present value of future Social Security and Medicare benefits are taken into consideration, a sum nearly identical to the annual gross domestic product, or GDP, of the world.

Alan Grayson to introduce Paid Vacation Act
By ERIKA LOVLEY | 5/21/09 4:28 AM EDT
The legislation would be the first to make paid vacation time a requirement under federal law.

*** begin quote ***

Rep. Alan Grayson was standing in the middle of Disney World when it hit him: What Americans really need is a week of paid vacation.

So on Thursday, the Florida Democrat will introduce the Paid Vacation

*** end quote ***

Argh!

What about the unemployed and retired?

Surely, it’s only fair that the Federal Gooferment pay them to vacate as well.

Argh!

This is a hidden tax. It’s unavoidable; hence it’s a tax.

This is an intrusion into the the employment contract. Employer offered and employee accepted. Now here comes Mommy Government to stick its nose in.

Does this mean that the Yankees have to give Alex R a week of paid vacation? He’ll just get into more trouble.

Why limit it to 100 person business? Because then we can’t see the damage!

At the margin, how many businesses will it kill. THe ones holding on by their fingernails financially.

Why don’t we give the congress critters a permanent vacation? Never reelect anyone! Ever!!

Pelosi: Torture protest improper in ’03

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi learned in early 2003 that the Bush administration was waterboarding terror detainees but didn’t protest directly out of respect for “appropriate” legislative channels, a confidant of the San Francisco Democrat said Monday.

How can you tell when a politcian is lying?

When their lips are moving!

Texas man jailed 83 days for skipping jury duty
May 9, 1:56 PM (ET)

*** begin quote ***

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) – A man arrested for allegedly failing to appear for jury duty was released Saturday after spending 83 days in jail, a length of detention that a judge called “unacceptable.”

Douglas Maupin was released a day after The Dallas Morning News brought his plight to the attention of a Collin County judge.

Maupin, a masonry contractor, was arrested Feb. 15 after police pulled him over for speeding. Police then detained him on a 2003 warrant for failure to appear for jury duty.

He wrote a letter to the newspaper about his lengthy jail stay, then said in a jailhouse interview that he, his friends and family could not afford his $1,500 bail.

Guess no one ever heard of the Fourteenth Amendment about slavery!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Release if he signed papers forfeiting his property

Texas police shake down drivers, lawsuit claims

   * Police stop drivers, take their money and jewelry, alleged victims say

   * Drivers threatened with arrest, loss of children if they don’t pay up, plaintiffs say

   * Most targeted drivers are minorities who won’t fight back, lawyer says

   * Town, county officials deny any wrongdoing, say officers follow the law

CNN’s “AC360°”

*** begin quote ***

TENAHA, Texas (CNN) — Roderick Daniels was traveling through East Texas in October 2007 when, he says, he was the victim of a highway robbery.

The Tennessee man says he was ordered to pull his car over and surrender his jewelry and $8,500 in cash that he had with him to buy a new car.

But Daniels couldn’t go to the police to report the incident.

The men who stopped him were the police.

Daniels was stopped on U.S. Highway 59 outside Tenaha, near the Louisiana state line. Police said he was driving 37 mph in a 35 mph zone. They hauled him off to jail and threatened him with money-laundering charges — but offered to release him if he signed papers forfeiting his property.

*** end quote ***

Well, my Luddite friend always fights with me telling me that “the police are our friends”. Not my friend, my friend. They are worse than the Mafia. At least, the Mafia doesn’t pretend that they aren’t robbing me.

These armed bureaucrats are nothing more than form filling out clean up squads. Unless they blunder into something.

(Hey, if he can exaggerate, so can I!)

It comes from the basic premise about the use of force. It all comes down to force.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Making an Irish company with a U.S. subsidiary

Businesses pan tax crackdown plan
Say proposal to close loopholes will drive jobs out of the country
By Jon Ward (Contact) | Tuesday, May 5, 2009

*** begin quote ***

“Obama’s proposal will shove jobs and capital out of America and into foreign countries,” said Americans for Tax Reform, pointing out that U.S. companies already pay a higher corporate tax rate of 40 percent domestically than in many other countries, and that forcing them to pay this rate on profits they make internationally will drive operations out of the country.

“It’s a relatively simple matter for a U.S. company with an Irish subsidiary to become an Irish company with a U.S. subsidiary,” the anti-tax group said.

*** end quote ***

Politicians think that no one will adapt to their latest hair brained scheme.

I hope someone is keeping track of this little “project’s” results.

We should have a zero corporate tax rate. And, everyone would be moving here!
