While in Obama’s liberal America we still have one!

Cause the cops aren’t everywhere; we are the “police”.

Free 50-Page PDF of The Simple Dollar’s Best Advice
By Kevin Purdy, 7:00 AM on Thu May 7 2009

*** begin quote ***

The Simple Dollar, an oft-Lifehacker-linked personal finance blog, is giving away a 50-page PDF, “Everything You Need to Know About Personal Finance on Just One Page.” Definitely worth the 4.4 MB download.

*** end quote ***

Now I’m no fan of a 4 meg pdf. But, it’s free. (My favorite price!) And this is one of my “usually reliable” sources.

FYI, do what you want. You will anyway.

New Jersey Church Replaces Pro-Life Signs Defaced in Pro-Abortion Vandalism

*** begin quote ***

Milltown, NJ (LifeNews.com) — A New Jersey Catholic church has replaced the large pro-life signs that adorn a grassy area in front of the church building. The pro-life sign in a lot across from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in the central part of the state was defaced by pro-abortion vandals in December.

*** end quote ***

I know that sign. A simple statement of fact.

Hard to imagine that vandal appreciates the First Amendment.

And, for the “free choice” that was sprayed on it, how is it “free” when I am force to pay for the gooferment’s pro-abortion policies?

It ain’t free. I’m forced to pay for it.

So explain to me, how did I incur this obligation?

I know I have to pay protection money to the various gangs in DC, Trenton, and elsewhere. But how is it “moral”?

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!

PRODUCTIVITY: WOW, I have at least one FAN!

My head just got two sizes bigger.

I’m speechless and that doesn’t happen very often.

How can I repay someone who has “nominated” me to Oprah?

I’m not an Oprah fan. Not enough hours in the day to watch lots of TV. Even in “retirement”! (?)

But, you have to admire someone like Oprah who puts together a media empire.

No doubt, if some one put my book on Oprah, then I’d be on the metaphorical “trail” of a second career. Watch out James Patterson. (Also a Jasper!)

If Oprah does call, then I’m going to buy a lottery ticket!

Thanks, Lane.

The odds that the federal government will ever get its hooks out of Chrysler or General Motors are slim to none, regardless what President Obama says. Why? In one word, Amtrak.

Doesn’t anyone else see that this is fascism?

Government Motors and the banks becoming like the post office!

Argh!

SERVICE: Google READER has had a subtle change

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Has reader changed with respect to the handling of previously read items?

Now I see them even though I read them before. Using the space bar, it just goes through every old post.

I’m going to have to switch back to bloglines.

This is what’s wrong with cloud computing.

INTERESTING: Serious about ending discrimination

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Andrew Wilcow’s program reboardcast on XM168 over the weekend:

“The purpose of opposable thumbs is to pick up things. The purpose of heterosexual marriage is procreation. What is the purpose of homosexual marriage?If everyone was serious about ending discrimination, we remove marriage from the sphere of the government.”

# – # – #

Very interesting!

And, an excellent argument.
