I have made many suggestions and statements as to how to fix the economy...and at every turn, Obama and his administration are working AGAINST what would really help this economy.
Recession Cuts Operation That Uses Hair To Clean Up Oil
You would think, with the amount of money they are spending on this oil clean up in the Gulf, that they could afford to get that program funded and use the resources they have available...instead...no stimulus there! Why does our government always MISS THE MARK when it comes to STIMULUS? (because it isn't stimulus for YOU and ME, but for their friends in Big Government or in Big Business...)

Tax or Bill, the Unified Police of Salt Lake County
Unpaid Police Service Fees in Salt Lake County
Unified Police bills going unpaid; businesses call fees unfair
Remember, I talked about the "double dipping" of the Police in Salt Lake County...well, no surprise here, but they aren't getting paid. People are simply sick of the constant taking of their money, without any real explanation of how or where that money is being spent. Not to mention as to WHY they are being charged twice for the same service.
So what are the Police gonna do? It isn't a tax, but a bill. How can they force someone to pay for something they may not want? How will they explain why they didn't show up to an emergency, when that is what our taxes pay for? Are they just going to stop responding? Can they?
The people of Salt Lake County need to just all together say, "No, we aren't going to pay!" Then when it goes to court, the courts will have to strike it down.
This is really similar to what will happen with Obama Care... the Government cannot force you to pay for something that isn't a tax and isn't a product or service you want or agree to pay for.

The Perverts over at the TSA
These are the people we trust with our "air safety"? It is worse than a joke...
TSA Worker Jailed In Body Scan Rage Incident
I wonder why certain questions have never been asked about this incident:
Why was the supervisor not fired for harassing a co-worker, SEXUALLY, on the job.
Why hasn't there been any follow up on the Verified Sexual Harassment?
If you can see genitalia on these scanners, what happens when someone under the age of 18 goes through them. Possession of Child Porn? Viewing Child Porn?
Why are these machines hooked up to the internet and why do they have email capabilities?
Who is watching the watchers?
Seems like someone needs to be:

Obama is Bipartisan
Ok, so I am taking a little license with this...
By bipartisan, I mean everyone, Democrats and Republicans, dislike him equally...
Outspoken Rocky Anderson Slams Obama in 2News Interview
If this isn't proof that Obama is getting it all wrong, I don't know what is...
Rocky Anderson was a HUGE critic of Bush, and now, he is criticising Obama.
It just goes to show what we have been saying all along...There isn't much difference between Republican and Democrat...
"There's no question that we're seeing a continuation, and even in some instances a worsening of our republic under this administration."
Which is what I have saying all along.

Obama's skeletons
We all have some skeletons in our closet, but Obama's have nearly been covered up. It is amazing what money and a lying media can do!
Mystery and Obama
Who is Obama? I know I have asked that question before, and we really should be asking it again and again! For someone so willing to "open government" to scrutiny, he is so very closed and secretive to his own information; why? He is a public official, and his information should be mad public.
We also have found out more about his "fraud", i.e. using more than one Social Security Number, getting school funding as a "foreign exchange student", some fraud going on in the Chicago Bar, and now, his Selective Service registration.
There seem to be explanations for most of all this stuff, but the question remains, why is he being so secret about the answers? Wouldn't it be easier for him to come out and give the answers, open the records, and give people what they want; the Truth?

A true American Hero
In the news recently, we have heard about the Times Square bomber, a naturalized citizen from Pakistan.
What about the other side of the Coin?
Sgt. Franco Aguilar of the Sevier County Sheriff's office was a naturalized citizen from Mexico. He died in the line of duty this last week.
He served in the Marines and the Highway Patrol and was a SWAT team member. He had a family of five children and was friends with everyone he knew.
He is the perfect example of "how to do things right", and should be held as an example to all people, not just immigrants.
O Theos Mazi Sou, Kirie Aguilar!

The XXX domain idea just won't die
I know, I know! I keep tooting my own horn on this one. But it isn't every day that I have an idea that endures this long and becomes such a big deal!
Last I wrote, they had decided to NOT do the XXX TLD, but now, they have changed their minds again, and are again taking a look at it...
Well, it is a good idea!

Global Cooling
We know AGW to be a hoax, that "man" has little to do with the current "Climate Change", but something that is becoming more and more obvious is the extent that "they" have gone to in spreading the lies to make their money...
Things like "global warming means more snow" and "global warming doesn't mean the earth will get warmer"...yes, these are things that people have said in this debate.
How about the fact that there is more ant-Arctic ice now than there has been in the recent past?
How about the fact that the same ice shelf has been falling since 1999?
Please people, don't fall for the hype!

How many times do we recycle the alarm over the seasonal melting of the same few thousand square miles of floating ice (ice that floats cannot contribute to sea level rise), off a continent that exceeds five million square miles in area?Here is what one person says about it,
An excellent analysis posted on April 17th, 2009 by Ron de Haan entitled “The Antarctic Wilkins Ice Shelf Collapse: Media recycles photos and storylines from previous years,” documents how the Wilkins Ice Shelf has been reported by the mainstream media to be ominously collapsing every year now since 1999. Haan also provides satellite photography back as far as 1993 showing the end-of-summer thaws and mid-winter maximums for the Wilkins Ice Shelf. Not much has changed over the past 15 years.
Please people, don't fall for the hype!
Public Servants
I have complained about this before, but this article puts it into perspective in a very pointed way.
The politicians are taking advantage of the tax payer. We work, not to support the Government and necessary things like defense, but we work to support the politicians...
Who in their right mind would pay their "servant" better than they, themselves, are getting paid? Who could afford that?
It has definitely become an "us v. them".

The Environment: CO2 and CH4
As we have discussed, CO2 is NOT a pollutant, but did you know PEOPLE are the leading cause of CO2?
Breathing produces approximately 2.3 pounds (1 kg) of carbon dioxide per day per person.
With 307,006,550 people in the United States, that comes to 706,115,065 pounds per day.
With 6,697,254,041 people in the world, that comes to 15,403,684,294 pounds per day.
One of the best ways to combat CO2? Plant A Tree!
According to this article, however, Methane could be worse than CO2 for Global Warming!
Should we become Vegetarian to reduce Methane emissions?
I think they forgot something:
Yes, livestock produces large amounts of Methane, but if we let the populations of animals go uncontrolled, how will that reduce the number of animals?
(i.e. they haven't thought this all the way through)
I propose a couple things here.
1) Plant more trees, reduce CO2 in the Atmosphere.
2) Control animal populations by eating them
3) Find ways to recover Methane from the atmosphere
4) Recycle Animal Waste (use it for fuel, etc)

One Reason To Oppose Social Programs
When we talk about "sustainability" we are talking about environmental issues and resources...
What about MONEY?
Is the current Modus Operandi of the Government "sustainable"?
Sustainability of Socialism

Sarah Palin & Mitt Romney in 2012
NOOOOOOOOOO!
There has to be a better combination!
Actually, I think Mitt Romney and Ron Paul would be an excellent choice!

The New-New Deal
We continue to hear how the Stimulus is helping save and create jobs, yet the Unemployment Rate continues to rise. So, if jobs are being saved and created, wouldn't the Unemployment Rate FALL?
Hmmmm.
The problem is, the plan Obama has is based on a flawed idea: the idea that FDR ended the depression with the "New Deal".
So why is it that here -- right now -- that we feel we need to follow a failed program? One that DIDN'T work then and WON'T work now?
Why not follow what DID work, and REMOVE the taxes, and Repeal the Social Programs? THAT actually worked!
I guess it is true, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Sir Winston Churchill

Hmmmm.
The problem is, the plan Obama has is based on a flawed idea: the idea that FDR ended the depression with the "New Deal".
by forcing taxes up and discouraging entrepreneurs from investing, probably did more harm than good.In fact, the thing that did get us out of the depression was just the opposite,
Congress—both chambers with Democratic majorities—responded by just saying "no." No to the whole New Deal revival: no federal program for health care, no full-employment act, only limited federal housing, and no increase in minimum wage or Social Security benefits.Now, isn't that interesting?
Instead, Congress reduced taxes. Income tax rates were cut across the board. FDR's top marginal rate, 94% on all income over $200,000, was cut to 86.45%. The lowest rate was cut to 19% from 23%, and with a change in the amount of income exempt from taxation an estimated 12 million Americans were eliminated from the tax rolls entirely.
Corporate tax rates were trimmed and FDR's "excess profits" tax was repealed, which meant that top marginal corporate tax rates effectively went to 38% from 90% after 1945.
So why is it that here -- right now -- that we feel we need to follow a failed program? One that DIDN'T work then and WON'T work now?

Wasting Paper
You have seen the news, you have heard the ancedotal stories, but what is really going on with paper usafge in this country?
The Government passed the Paperwork Reduction Act, which really didn't do anything to reduce the use of paper in the Government. In fact, the Government itself causes more paper usage by all the new and numerous regulations it passes. Point-in-case; have you recently tried to buy or refinance your home?
The "Paper-less Office", actually caused 40% MORE paper to be used.
Now, we even have the paper manufacturers calling out for us to "print more", which also benefits the ink cartridge manufacturers with their $50 printer ink,
Why does this seem like the OPPOSITE of what SHOULD be happening in a climate where CONSERVATION is the "name of the game"?

Who is protected by our government?
Ihave read several sources recently that are saying bad things about our government. THings like "they are protecting the 'bad guys'"...
I would really hate to believe these things, without some confirmation, so I went searching.
First, we find that the Government is behind what is becoming known as "astro-turffing". The practice of creating fake or pseudo-grass-roots organizations to combat the popular grass-roots organizations that are against the current policies of this administration.
Next, you have people in high places telling their "astro-turf" members to "infiltrate" the real grass-roots orgs, and not for good purposes.
And finally, you have them making things up, lying, being purposefully deceptive about the Grass-Roots movements, maybe they feel threatened?
What have we come to?
To top it off, the oil rig explodes, and instead of suspecting terrorists, we are told it "is probably someone who hates obamacare".
Instead of believing the best about it's own Citizens, the Government tries to condemn its citizens for exercising their first amendment rights!
Then, when we do decide to do something "right", when we decide to follow Federal Law (instead of ignore it) we get called RACISTS.
Isn't the Government supposed to PROTECT us from these actions?
Instead, it appears that the Government has sided with law breakers (illegal immigrants) and Terrorists.
But then, just to be contrary, many people want to change positions on how we handle certain peoples. This latest bombing attempt, the Times Square one, was done by "Taliban" or "al Qaeda", who just happens to be a naturalized citizen.
Instead of everyone demanding that we protect his rights, as a citizen (miranda, etc), they just want to "string him up".
NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!
If we let the Constitution continue to fail us, we will end up in a dictatorship, where rights turn into privileges, and privileges are only granted to privileged individuals.
Glenn Beck is under fire for saying that "this is the USA! we protect citizen's rights", and John McCain is complaining about how we are protecting this bomber's rights.
I don't care who you are, if you are a citizen, you deserve to have your rights, to have your day in court.
(also, please note, Rachel Maddow and Glenn Beck actually agree on this issue of rights. Prolly the first time in history (and maybe the last?) that they might agree, but maybe she is having a change of heart?)
Bottom line here, we live in America. We have "rule of law" and we must follow that. If we make exceptions, we will soon have no rule of law, but rule of fear, tyranny.
You don't try to destroy "grass-roots" orgs, you try to understand them. Why? Because they are citizens and they have concerns.
You don't start throwing labels around, like "anti-government" and "seditious", because someone disagrees with the current administration's policies, you listen to them. Why? Because they are citizens and they have concerns.
You don't violate someone's rights, just because they commit a crime. Everyone has "basic human rights" and citizens have "citizen's rights". We must follow "rule of law". Why? Because we are America and that is how we roll!

Global Warming --> UG...
I have heard some really stupid things about "AGW" or "man-made global warming. Like that we will actually have MORE snow the warmer the planet gets, and that "global warming doesn't mean that the planet will actually get warmer"... yes, I read that somewhere...
How about this,
"Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming"
Huh? So if we STOP POLLUTING we actually INCREASE GLOBAL WARMING? So we are "damned if we do and damned if we don't"?
There is no way to win, UNLESS...
Unless you actually realize that what we are experiencing is "Climate Change" and NOT Global Warming.
We already know that CO2 is NOT a pollutant, but is actually BENEFICIAL to the plant life on the earth (as is evidenced by the increase in Biomass on the planet), and the fact that plants GROW BETTER with HIGHER Concentrations of CO2.
So while we try and "clean up" our air, we are actually "doing harm", well, at least according to these "experts".
So why bother? Why stop polluting? If those pollutants are preventing Global Warming, wouldn't they be considered "beneficial"?
Oh, and did the IPCC take all these pollutants, or lack of, into account when they ran their models?
After all, the ice around the Antarctic is INCREASING now, not decreasing, so obviously something isn't right in AWG land...

Our Government
Not only do I love to rail on Microsoft, but our own Federal Government leaves themselves wide open to ridicule too, so I have to take and have some fun.
Officers Lose 243 Homeland Security Guns
Now, WTF? Really? And this isn't the TOP NEWS STORY across the country? The Government loves to say that gun shows are the source of illegal guns, and yet, it appears they are their own worst problem!
Gov't Proposes "National Climate Service" For the US
Oh Joy! I guess the IPCC cannot screw things up enough so we have to create our own agency to throw more money we don't have at, and see what kind of screwed-up science they can come up with. No, I really don't think they would support Al Gore!
A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow
Yes, this might be true. But a Warming Planet cannot mean more COLD, and the past 3 or so years have been COLDER than the "Warming Trend" that might have been indicated by the previous data. This is why it is called "climate change" not "global warming".
FCC's Broadband Plan May Cost You Money
Why does it seem that every time the Government comes up with a plan, we end up paying for it? How much more till we have no money left? I don't get paid more, I get paid less because of the "cost of living" and "inflation", so every time they want more money for crap, how am I supposed to pay for it?
Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA
Oh great, all we need is someone that high up in the Government to make a defacto ruling that says we have no rights, only the 'X'AAs do.
Final Decision Deferred On ".xxx" Domains
I have mentioned this before, but this was my idea back in the mid '90s. It still looks like a "no-go" and I blame the Porn industry. If they get walled of in the .xxx TLD, they cannot infect new "customers".
ACLU Sues Over Legality of "Targeted Killing" By Drones
I wonder if the ACLU would prefer us to just kill everyone including the "target"? I think, being able to target the target and no one or nothing else is "good".
Nullification: Twenty-five States With Firearms Freedom Acts
The Federal Government has been overstepping its bounds for years. They dangle our own money in front of us and ask us to abide by the stupid regulations they heap upon us. I think the states are becoming wise to the illegal practice. Many are passing this kind of legislation to get out from under the Feds. We will call it "nullification" because it sounds so cool!
Dems play the terror card
The first thing to happen after Obama got elected was for all the people who didn't support him to change from "people with free will to support or to not support whomever they want" to "racists" and now, if you don't support their various, illegal, laws and legislation, you are a terrorist.
The left's next move: Salary caps
Now that they have taken over the Banking industry and the Auto industry and the Healthcare and Health Insurance industry, it is time to take over some aspects of EVERY industry!
Why does the Department of Education need Shotguns?
This is new! Maybe they will not only make it "not child left behind", but "no child left alive"?
Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested
With all the noise that the Left is making about Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, this might be a real possibility in the USA too. Regardless of the First Amendment.
Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private?
If you think that the Government will abide by it's own laws, rules, and regulations, you have another thing coming. This is only ONE kind of story like this. The government will use anything they can against you if they think they can get away with it, using some half-witted excuse.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel
I would suggest we all take the time to read this. Then get out your pen and paper and write some letters to your senators!
Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail
Why would Google do this? I would suggest using the next sheet of paper you have and drafting them a letter, getting them to support your privacy.
US Justice Dept. Investigates IT Hiring Practices
It is about time. The fairness and equity that SHOULD be in the US when it comes to hiring people, just isn't there.
Feds Question Big Media's Piracy Claims
I love slashdot. They have no fear in reporting anything that might have something to do with the Tech Geeks of us out here in the real world.
While Obama might support the 'X'AAs, the Justice Department is looking into their Piracy Claims, like how downloading a $0.99 mp3 can cost the company $22,000.
Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyber-attacks
This is interesting. How do they think to carry on a cyber-war? Busting down doors? Heading to China to stop the attacks?
Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ
So, in one breath Google is giving the Feds access to Gmail, but in another they are siding with Yahoo and others to protect our privacy. What's up with that, Google?!?
Economy Tanked While Government Surfed Porn
I don't think they even consider this economic problem to be a "problem"... just like they don't seem to worried about "Global Warming". How do they expect us to take them seriously?
Seattle Hacker Catches Cops Who Hid Arrest Tapes
Just when you thought the whole "transparency" thing would protect you and your rights, you read a story like this. Why would they hide the evidence? Oh, that's right, "they" are "cops".
US Sits On Supply of Rare, Tech-Crucial Minerals
One of our Government's flaws is akin to "earth first, we'll strip-mine the other planets later"...but it is more like "other countries first, we'll use up our resources later". We use other countries oil, at a serious cost to the US Consumer, we use up all the resources from other countries, maybe with the intent of "saving ours for later", but it costs us jobs and money. Ya gotta love our Government.
So, for now, that is all. I am sure it won't be long before our Government does something else I can make fun of...
Officers Lose 243 Homeland Security Guns
Now, WTF? Really? And this isn't the TOP NEWS STORY across the country? The Government loves to say that gun shows are the source of illegal guns, and yet, it appears they are their own worst problem!
Gov't Proposes "National Climate Service" For the US
Oh Joy! I guess the IPCC cannot screw things up enough so we have to create our own agency to throw more money we don't have at, and see what kind of screwed-up science they can come up with.
A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow
Yes, this might be true. But a Warming Planet cannot mean more COLD, and the past 3 or so years have been COLDER than the "Warming Trend" that might have been indicated by the previous data. This is why it is called "climate change" not "global warming".
FCC's Broadband Plan May Cost You Money
Why does it seem that every time the Government comes up with a plan, we end up paying for it? How much more till we have no money left? I don't get paid more, I get paid less because of the "cost of living" and "inflation", so every time they want more money for crap, how am I supposed to pay for it?
Obama Backs MPAA, RIAA, and ACTA
Oh great, all we need is someone that high up in the Government to make a defacto ruling that says we have no rights, only the 'X'AAs do.
Final Decision Deferred On ".xxx" Domains
I have mentioned this before, but this was my idea back in the mid '90s. It still looks like a "no-go" and I blame the Porn industry. If they get walled of in the .xxx TLD, they cannot infect new "customers".
ACLU Sues Over Legality of "Targeted Killing" By Drones
I wonder if the ACLU would prefer us to just kill everyone including the "target"? I think, being able to target the target and no one or nothing else is "good".
Nullification: Twenty-five States With Firearms Freedom Acts
The Federal Government has been overstepping its bounds for years. They dangle our own money in front of us and ask us to abide by the stupid regulations they heap upon us. I think the states are becoming wise to the illegal practice. Many are passing this kind of legislation to get out from under the Feds. We will call it "nullification" because it sounds so cool!
Dems play the terror card
The first thing to happen after Obama got elected was for all the people who didn't support him to change from "people with free will to support or to not support whomever they want" to "racists" and now, if you don't support their various, illegal, laws and legislation, you are a terrorist.
The left's next move: Salary caps
Now that they have taken over the Banking industry and the Auto industry and the Healthcare and Health Insurance industry, it is time to take over some aspects of EVERY industry!
Why does the Department of Education need Shotguns?
This is new! Maybe they will not only make it "not child left behind", but "no child left alive"?
Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested
With all the noise that the Left is making about Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, this might be a real possibility in the USA too. Regardless of the First Amendment.
Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private?
If you think that the Government will abide by it's own laws, rules, and regulations, you have another thing coming. This is only ONE kind of story like this. The government will use anything they can against you if they think they can get away with it, using some half-witted excuse.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 Passes Senate Panel
I would suggest we all take the time to read this. Then get out your pen and paper and write some letters to your senators!
Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail
Why would Google do this? I would suggest using the next sheet of paper you have and drafting them a letter, getting them to support your privacy.
US Justice Dept. Investigates IT Hiring Practices
It is about time. The fairness and equity that SHOULD be in the US when it comes to hiring people, just isn't there.
Feds Question Big Media's Piracy Claims
I love slashdot. They have no fear in reporting anything that might have something to do with the Tech Geeks of us out here in the real world.
While Obama might support the 'X'AAs, the Justice Department is looking into their Piracy Claims, like how downloading a $0.99 mp3 can cost the company $22,000.
Military Asserts Right To Respond To Cyber-attacks
This is interesting. How do they think to carry on a cyber-war? Busting down doors? Heading to China to stop the attacks?
Google Backs Yahoo In Privacy Fight With DoJ
So, in one breath Google is giving the Feds access to Gmail, but in another they are siding with Yahoo and others to protect our privacy. What's up with that, Google?!?
Economy Tanked While Government Surfed Porn
I don't think they even consider this economic problem to be a "problem"... just like they don't seem to worried about "Global Warming". How do they expect us to take them seriously?
Seattle Hacker Catches Cops Who Hid Arrest Tapes
Just when you thought the whole "transparency" thing would protect you and your rights, you read a story like this. Why would they hide the evidence? Oh, that's right, "they" are "cops".
US Sits On Supply of Rare, Tech-Crucial Minerals
One of our Government's flaws is akin to "earth first, we'll strip-mine the other planets later"...but it is more like "other countries first, we'll use up our resources later". We use other countries oil, at a serious cost to the US Consumer, we use up all the resources from other countries, maybe with the intent of "saving ours for later", but it costs us jobs and money. Ya gotta love our Government.
So, for now, that is all. I am sure it won't be long before our Government does something else I can make fun of...
Healthcare Opt-Out
Now this is a big one. The Federal Government (namely the Democrats) have decided they know what is best for us. In doing so, they have violated their mandate to uphold the Constitution and have become the enemies of Freedom. Lucky for us, some states and other "grass roots" organizations have seen this to be the truth and are doing something about it.
The following bill would allow Utah to OPT-OUT of the federal healthcare legislation. I believe 19 other states HAVE the same kind of law and up to 38 states are considering a law suit over the sweeping legislation.
Bill would allow Utah to opt out of federal health care reform
If the above bill fails, it is ok, because we can seek legal remedy. There are 19 or so states (and growing) that are up to the task of taking on the Feds in court.
Utah's attorney general will join lawsuit against health care reform
One might ask, "WHY?" Well, if you ask, then you haven't read what the bill contains. Taxes on small businesses, limits on coverage, increases in cost, nothing to stop the real problems, and penalties for failing to comply.
Business Owners Say "Tan Tax" Will Burn
I think, as do many others, that we shouldn't be worrying about a law suit. THese can take years and can be expensive. WHy not use the powers that exist within the individual and within the state as protected by the 10th Amendment?
State AGs Miss Target with Health Care Lawsuit says the Tenth Amendment Center
Federal Health Care Nullification Act
There are also "class-action" suits that are starting. I would suggest getting on the list and put your name to good use.
Obamacare Class Action
We have high profile support from all over the country, don't lose hope!
Pataki Says Obamacare Can Be Repealed
