Charity homes built by Hollywood start to crumble
John Harlow in Los Angeles
*** begin quote ***
RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart.
*** end quote ***
Another liberal love fest goes down in flames.
There is no substitute for someone saving their coins and buying their own home by the sweat of their brow.
Liberals ignore the learnigns over eons at their own peril.
There ain’t no such thing as free lunch.
The determination to get out of poverty must come form the individual. Sure there can be “help” along the way. Or at least, no concerted effort like the Liberal’s psuedo-drug-war, to keep the poor down trodden or the LBJ “war on poverty” which destroyed the “black family”, the “black churches”, and the “black neighborhoods”.
To me the biggest crime has been “gooferment education”. Huge amounts of money flushed down ratholes. The illusion of education. That’s the tradgey of our generation. A lost generation.
Second, is abortion. We’ve killed all those children who would have made who knows what contributions to society.
We are fools!

Got the promo email. Went in for my “free” appetizer. (Hey, I know it’s a scam, but we like the food.) Asked for it. Didn’t get it. Told to: “Check the fine print. You have to have the offer to get it.” See offer below. (Ignoring the crude way they did it.) You see any fine print? I don’t. Guess we won’t be back there. I’d urge you to avoid it as well. I filled out the web site comment (with the annoying music) and we’ll see. I’m not expecting much! Please help me boycott them! Nationwide. If you do go, (cause you have to), please give the manager a print of this blog post. Be interested to see just how much power the inet has?
JUST SAY “NO” … TO JOE!

Why a Tiny Alabama Town Wants a $375 Million Chunk of the Stimulus
By Amanda Ruggeri
Posted January 8, 2009
*** begin quote ***
At first glance, the town of Edwardsville, Ala., with a population of 194 people, might raise a few eyebrows with its bid to receive $375 million from the economic stimulus package being assembled by Barack Obama and lawmakers in Congress.
The tiny town, located near the Georgia border and 26 miles from the nearest “big city” of Anniston (population: 24,276), added 33 proposals—about two thirds of them related to “green” energy—to the list of “ready- to- go” projects assembled by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Total sum: $375,076,200.

Obama warns of dire consequences without stimulus

AP White House Correspondent
*** begin quote ***
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) – President-elect Barack Obama warned of dire and long-lasting consequences if Congress doesn’t pump unprecedented dollars into the national economy, making an urgent pitch Thursday for his mammoth spending proposal in his first speech since the election.
{Extraneous Deleted}
Obama laid out goals of doubling the production of alternative energy over three years, updating most federal buildings to improve energy efficiency, making medical records electronic, expanding broadband networks and updating schools and universities.

I wrote the marketing and financial sections of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph “Evaluation of Post Divestiture Provision of Customer Premises Equipment” Business Plan while on Jim Moberg’s team reporting to Sam Ginn. Ultimately many of Judge Green’s rules and regulations destroyed a lot of business strength and growth opportunities. For example the newly minted baby Bells were prohibited from manufacturing telephone equipment i.e. CPE. Ultimately we went off shore and created an intense stream of jobs to go away. We went to LG in Korea, some minor players in Hong Kong and ultimately to China. This lightly written and short article needs a much more serious study and review of all aspects of the break up, the restrictive rules imposed by a Judge without a business background. Many people speak about the break up in terms of their personal experience with their phone and phone service. The deeper industrial and corporate wastage and inefficiencies need to be given serous academic review. PhD proposal anyone?

I know first hand the personal disruption this caused. Family and friends were hurt. I landed on my feet. In some ways, much better off. However, those friends and family never recovered. My mom was forced out after 45 years. She was expecting to work for another 5 years. They did give her 2 years pay. But, she was “her job” and never recovered. My friend was bounced around, ill-treated in the spin outs, and basically tossed. He was out for several years trying to find a slot. There went his “retirement”.
As a country, having been at the Labs a few times, that was the country’s crown jewel. That was nuked.
Western Electric, the manufacturing arm, was nuked as well.
A tremendous cost in people, hardware, and potential.
Down the drain by a bureaucrat in a funny dress.
Argh!
Collective stupidity.
Supposedly to save money?
I just shake my head.

Subject: WSJ NEWS ALERT: Obama Eyes $310 Billion Tax Cut
__________________________________
NEWS ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal
Jan. 4, 2009
President-elect Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are crafting a plan to offer as much as $310 billion in tax cuts to individuals and businesses, a move aimed at attracting Republican support for an economic-stimulus package and prodding companies to create jobs.
The size of the proposed tax cuts — which would account for about 40% of a stimulus package that could reach $775 billion over two years — is greater than many on both sides of the aisle in Congress had anticipated, and may make it easier to win over Republicans who have stressed that any initiative should rely relatively heavily on tax cuts rather than.

Don’t take health tips from celebs if you know what’s good for you
David Rose
*** begin quote ***
From Madonna’s quest to “neutralise radiation” to Tom Cruise’s dismissals of psychiatry, celebrities are seldom shy about expressing their views on health and science – even when they appear not to know what they are talking about.
A roll call of public figures such as Cruise and Delia Smith have offered bogus advice or “quackery” this year, according to scientists and doctors. The charity Sense About Science is concerned that celebrities mislead the public when they endorse theories, diets or health products while misrepresenting the science involved.
Some – such as Oprah Winfrey and Kate Moss – espouse “detox” regimes, while others, such as Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, believe (mistakenly) that the Pill can cause cancer.
Nor are politicians exempt from lending credence to health myths. The US President-elect is among several American public figures who continue to suggest that the MMR vaccination is a potential cause of autism, despite an overwhelming weight of scientific evidence to the contrary.
*** end quote ***
Why do people take anything from a celebrity?
Health advice, scientific advice, or political advice. Anything!
At least when Ted Turner gets up and pontificates his liberal agenda, he has made a contribution to the world. While I don’t agree with him, he has earned a listen. Madonna, Tom Cruise, and Kate Moss — please give me a break. They have the right to free speech; I have a right to ignore them.
Oprah is a special case of “speak with forked toungue”. Her Obama endorsement was plainly racist. She fell a bunch of notches in my opinion. Like Rosie O’D who was the “Queen of Nice” until she let fame get to her, there was a double cross.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

The Conservative Elevator Story
By Christopher Chantrill
*** begin quote ***
Good question, Bob. In America today, conservatives believe, government is cruel, corrupt, unjust; and it just costs too much. And we conservatives just can’t stand there and do nothing.
{Extraneous Deleted}
Liberals created this monster, Bob. Liberals believe that compulsory government programs are the way to help the poor and comfort the afflicted. But they are wrong. Government is not compassion. Government is force. You cannot solve social problems by force.
{Extraneous Deleted}
Conservatives believe in society not as social force but as social cooperation. That’s why we must reform the welfare state into the welfare society. In the welfare society the American people, not liberal experts, will be in charge of their health care, their children’s education, the comfort of the afflicted, and the decent provision of pensions.
{Extraneous Deleted}
With conservative reforms America will truly become that shining city on a hill, “still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom.”
*** end quote ***
A superb “elevator speech” as to why we need liberty!
Strange how originally the “conservatives” wish to preserve the French and English Kings and the “liberals” wanted to empower the “sovereign individual”.
NOW, we have the perversion that the “liberals” want to empower the government and the “conservatives” want to empower the individual.
AND, the Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin — power to the government.
How far we have fallen from the ideals of the DOWGs!

What do the Clintons have on Obama?
What experience does Hillary have to run State? Plus: Avoiding the Muslim issue on Mumbai, and anti-Proposition 8 activists threaten to set back gay rights.
By Camille Paglia
*** begin quote ***
I may be an atheist, but I respect religion and certainly find it far more philosophically expansive and culturally sustaining than the me-me-me sense of foot-stamping entitlement projected by too many gay activists in the unlamented past. My position has always been (as in “No Law in the Arena” in my 1994 book, “Vamps & Tramps”) that government should get out of the marriage business. Marriage is a religious concept that should be defined and administered only by churches. The government, a secular entity, must institute and guarantee civil unions, open to both straight and gay couples and conferring full legal rights and benefits. Liberal heterosexuals who profess support for gay rights should be urged to publicly shun marriage and join gays in the civil union movement.
*** end quote ***
The gooferment has NO business at all in the marriage or civil unions business.
Prevent invasions, preserve the peace, ensure rights!
Period!
