Four pieces of mail in the (snail) mail box today. All spam, which isn’t unusual.
All from American Express. Which is.
If you ever wondered why your interest rates are so high, this is why.
McCain WANTED to lose. And, not satisfied with merely losing, he seeks to undermine the remainder of the Republican party — starting with Sarah Palin.
I don’t know why, but if I were to guess, I’d say it’s revenge for losing the nomination in 2000. We know that he’s been against conservatives forever. He isn’t one himself. But the way he ran his campaign smacks of throwing the game.
And to then go after Sarah Palin? He must be interested in gutting the Republican party.
Rush said that nominating McCain would be the end of the Republicans. Seems he was right again.
Powell has come to Jesus.
Recall, if you will, how the moonbat left expended a great many pixels and barrels of ink deriding both Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice as “Uncle Tom”, “Oreo”, “Race Traitor” and any of a number of horrid insults that would never be tolerated from the fingers or mouth of a conservative.
Only by accepting Obama Christ as his personal savior was Colin Powell saved, for he had seen the truth, the way, and the light. No more would he be criticized as George Bush’s “House Negro” for his report to the United Nations on the WMDs in Iraq. No, now Colin Powell is enlightened.
Obama won for two reasons. First and foremost, the lies of the media on his behalf, disguising the true causes of the economic crash, and keeping the extent of his personal involvement therein from the public. Second, urban whites, wracked with guilt, voted for him in the hopes that they, too, would be saved from the sins of their fathers by the glory of Obama Christ.
Yes, I know this is long past late. I saw a comment and it triggered this thought, and I wanted to let it out of my brain before it died of loneliness.
Congratulations, America. You’ve just elected the most left-wing president in the history of our Republic. A man who is imperceptibly to the right of Karl Marx. Very nice. Do you feel good about yourselves?
Of course, I offer no congratulations to the winner. He deserves no such consideration. While I will avoid the batshit loco conspiracy theories favored by the moonbat BDS lefties these past eight years, I do not expect to have a single positive thing to say about President Obama during his short stay on Pennsylvania avenue.
The stock market has already begun to indicate its displeasure with the electorate’s choice, even with a good amount of the Obama premium already priced into the market. I would not be surprised to see the Dow at 7,000 by year end.
I’m putting the over/under on Obama’s telling the American people that we aren’t getting a tax cut at two weeks. This would beat President Clinton’s record for breaking his central election promise by five days in 1993.
Since George Bush was unable to decisively wrap up Al Qaeda, we will (as I predicted in 2002) be attacked in America in 2009. Obama’s response will either be devastating to the United States, or devastating to his political standing with his base.
Finally, I do not want to hear one single black person ever again complain that America is a racist nation, and that their personal failure is a function of “the man” holding them back. Do you hear me? NO MORE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. You’ve got a black man in most powerful fucking job in the entire fucking world.
A thirteen year old girl was stoned to death in Somalia by Islamists for the crime of being raped.
Anyone who supports this ideology, anyone who follows this ideology, and anyone who enforces this “justice” needs to be removed from the planet. The ideology of political Islam needs to be purged from this Earth.
Any creature on this planet that decides that a thirteen year old rape victim should be buried up to her neck and have a truckload of stones thrown at her head needs to die.
Who the fuck came up with the idea that this is an acceptable way to run a society?
FMLA to America: “You fucked up, you trusted us.”
First, a public service announcement. When using a reciprocating saw, it is important that you DO NOT put your fingers on the wrong side of the guard. You might pinch your finger in the mechanism.
This hurts very much bad.
Which leads to ouch number two, the releasing of pressure from the blood blister under the fingernail. This represents the first time in my life where I have intentionally put a hole in any part of my anatomy.
The gasp made upon perforating the nail was described as “you sucked all the air out of the room”. And the blood… MY GOD.
But there is a whole lot less pain. So I’ve got that going for me.
As if this hasn’t been said a thousand times already…
The reason banks are willing to renegotiate rather than foreclose is simple:
The housing market has collapsed. It’s not on it’s way, it’s not teetering. It’s done. Stick a fork in it.
The whole thing is right out of Econ 101. Artificially heightened demand leads to overproduction, which leads to increased inventory, which leads to a collapse in prices when supply outstrips demand.
So the very last thing any bank (that wants to remain in business) wants to do is find itself holding properties. Especially distressed ones (which many foreclosures are).
The doctrine of “half of something is better than all of nothing” applies.
Three miles from home, car dies. Won’t turn over, won’t crank. Made a funny whirly noise, and then… nothing.
Called AAA, got towed, got to dealer, guy looks at it for 5 minutes. “Timing belt, head, head gasket. At least.” Because I bought a 2001, it’s all covered under warranty. Without that, we’d be looking at a nearly totaled car at $5,000 to repair.
And throughout the whole thing, I didn’t lose my temper once.
Why do I freak out over the trivial shit, but my car (literally) blows a gasket, and I don’t?
