FROM A POST ABOUT REGULATORS
And, don’t forget the only true purpose of any gooferment program is to make the politicians and their lackeys the bureaucrats look good. Along the way, they feather their own nest, reward their friends, and punish their enemies. On this side of the pond, the politicians rank lower than used car salesmen. At least, the used car salesmen and you both KNOW you are getting screwed — no pretense, no agenda, no HIDDEN gotcha. Argh!

Thought you might “enjoy” this. Get your BP up.
One more reason to kill “gooferment education”. As if that is what they are doing.
We know that the model was created to produce cannon fodder for the German Army and compliant workers for the factory.
Parents should be responsible for education. Just like they are responsible for everything else. They had them; not me. Why should I pay for their “fun”? It’s contra survival.

Free the H-1Bs, Free the Economy
by Vivek Wadhwa on August 30, 2009
*** begin quote ***
This is a guest post by Vivek Wadhwa, an entrepreneur turned academic. He is a Visiting Scholar at UC-Berkeley, Senior Research Associate at Harvard Law School and Executive in Residence at Duke University. Follow him on Twitter at @vwadhwa.
I have a suggestion for our President on how to boost economic growth without spending a penny: Free the H-1B’s.
*** end quote ***
I know Vivek from our days at First Boston.
He’s absolutely correct. We need to disassemble the “illegal immigration” infrastructure. If we stop putting out milk (i.e., welfare in the form of freebies like education, health care, food stamps), then we will get fewer stray cats (i.e., immigrants who come for the wrong reasons).
Clearly, the H1Bs are valuable additions to the workforce. Let’s keep them rather than, thru ignorance, allow them to slip away.

Quoting Gerald Celente
*** begin quote ***
Do you think either political party could have made a difference?
No, it is like watching the World Wrestling Federation. They pretend to be arch-enemies on the stage. After the cameras go off, they do their deals together. There is very little difference between the two parties.
*** end quote ***
Chortle! I love the metaphor. The D’s and the R’s are the WWF of politics!

SWEET LEMONADE KID $LAPPED
BITTER AGENTS WRITE $50 TICKET
By FRANK ROSARIO and TIM PERONE
JUST FINE! Clementine Lee holds the ticket that agents handed her and her dad. Parks boss Adrian Benepe voided it.

Three sourpuss Parks Department agents put the squeeze on a 10-year-old girl in Riverside Park yesterday, slapping the tyke with a $50 ticket for hawking lemonade without a permit.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but where did the bureaucrat get off “voiding” the ticket? And, what about Federal charges for practicing chemistry without a license.
The City (an imaginary entity) needs the fifty bucks.
Yeah, it’s absurd. But then, gooferment is absurd.

A Great Moment in Our History
by Andrew P. Napolitano
*** begin quote ***
The camera is the new gun. There’s nothing that government dislikes more than the light of day, and cameras recording what the government is doing, whether it’s on a street corner, or in there, or in Washington D.C., we have the right to know everything that they do and why they do it, and when they do it, and how they are taking our freedoms.
*** end quote ***
Obviouly, every patriot has to arm themselves with the new gun. And photo every tyrant. Politician, bureaucrat, and all of their ilk who would restrict our freedom.
Sheeple need to wake up. It may already be too late!
Let’s start rolling back — the TSA, the Patriot Act, the large oppressive gooferment!
Argh!

What Can I Do?
by Andrew G. Eggleston Sr.
*** begin quote ***
But, as libertarians, we agree on only one thing—the ZAP—our Zero Aggression Principle, no one or group of ones has the right to tell us how to live, or die. No one or group of ones has the right to initiate force in any way against any other one or group of ones, to do so forfeits their rights as a one or group of ones.
*** end quote ***
Can do!

Naked girls plow fields for rain
Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:35pm EDT
*** begin quote ***
PATNA, India (Reuters) – Farmers in an eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughters to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said on Thursday.
Witnesses said the naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows.
*** end quote ***
This struck me as “interesting” on several levels.
(And, no their are no NSFW pics. Like you need a news story to find those on the inet? Please, DMML!)
First, the simple child-like faith that “gods” can be “embarrassed”. If they weren’t embarrassed by our congress critters, then naked girls would be comic relief.
Second, what is there thinking in terms of cause and effect? I suspect some “dirty old man” came up with this idea. If I had the comic skills of Jay Leno, this would be funny.
Third, how about some education and science for these folks? Never mind some clean water and water storage projects. This is a gooferment failure. Guess the national and state governments like the current state of affairs.
Fourth, it’s really good for the USA that so many countries put their women in unproductive situations. It’s like going into a fight with half your brains tied in a sack.
Fifth, how do these women feel? Hard to imagine. Dumb? Like cattle? Unappreciated?
Now these folks should have the freedom to believe whatever they want. But I wonder how they got to this level of thinking.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. It’s our own thinking that kills and enslaves us.
