    Plane Crashed at EXACTLY 10:17 You Tube Video Included

    An eye witness report of the crash is reporting that the plane crashed at 10:17, and the plane was seen flying IN THE WRONG DIRECTION from the airport making a WEIRD OUT OF PLACE NOISE. 911 was immediately called. Plane continues to burn, and the Emergency First Responders have already said they are in RECOVER MODE, which means everyone on board is CONSIDERED DEAD.

    The next EOC (Emergency Operations Center) Press Meeting will occur at 4:00 AM this morning. Weather seems to be ruled out as a causal agent in this accident. There is video of this crash on You Tube.





    Daily Record Wants To Speak To Family Members of Those Killed on Flight 3407

    In a somewhat morbid approach to getting access to the news, seems that the Daily Record has put out a call on the Internet seeking names of those on the downed plane, and expressing a desire to speak with victims families. This gives a whole NEW DEFINITION to Ambulance chasing...I mean come on Jim, the plane is still in flames, and no one has been able yet to get to the plane! How about giving these families SOME SPACE to grieve, or that matter be officially notified. If you are in that big of a HURRY to scoop the competition, why not get in your car, or grab a flight to Buffalo and go to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) that has been set...I understand that one of the victims brothers is there as I write this.

    Do you know anyone who was on Flight 3407?

    February 12, 2009

    The Daily Record is seeking any information about people with Morris-area ties who may have been on Continental Express Flight 3407 out of Newark, which crashed into a home in suburban Buffalo.

    The Daily Record is also seeking to hear from any Morris-area people who may have been near the scene of the crash or otherwise connected to the incident.

    Flight 3407 From Newark Has Crashed in Buffalo New York

    CNN is now putting on the air that the crashed plane was flight 3407, a commuter flight from Newark, New Jersey that was two hours behind schedule....aircraft is STILL BURNING, and it is now official there are MULTIPLE FATALITIES. Investigators are on the scene, and it is a madhouse right now as Emergency Crews try to put out the flames. There was little communication/warning before the crash...people in the home that the plane crashed into were seriously injured...in further news, it has been announced THIS IS NOT A RESCUE EFFORT at this point in time.

    A Plane Has Crashed Into A House In Buffalo, New York...Where is a STatement FROM WHITE HOUSE?

    Just in on CNN....48 people on a plane are believed dead after said plane crashed into a house about five miles short of the runway in Buffalo, New York suberbs. Details are sketchy and still coming in...curious here...if I am up and recieving this news, where is Obama or his staff in making a statement to the media? Get off your lazy ass Obama and do what you are being paid to do...there is a crisis within our border, and so far you have not done a thing! How hard is it to make a statement to the press, to offer your sympathies to the families of those killed? Further, has Homeland Security been informed, do they have someone on the ground in Buffalo yet? Flight was in route from Newark. Unconfirmed...Fireman may have been injured. It was supposedly Continential flight from Newark to Buffalo in a Turbo Prop commuter plane...seating for 40 and two crew, but FFA is stating 48 were on board.

    Association of General Contractors...TRAITORS of America's LEGAL WORKING CLASS!

    I am sure that The Association of General Contractors of America will disagree with my classifying them as traitors to America and our LEGAL Working Class Citizens, but I would say their own words on their web site show they support CHEAP LABOR, and the use of Illegal Aliens on job sites...they just want Comprehensive Immigration Reform (AMNESTY) to legalize the portion of their work force that is now working on jobs sites all over America Illegally! If you are an out of work Legal American Citizen or Legal Immigrant tired of staying at home because an Illegal Alien has replaced you on the Contruction Job site, then you need to arrange PROTESTS at the offices of this organization, at their members job sites. I offer you as proof of their support of Illegal Aliens and CHEAP LABOR the following which is pasted directly from their own web site.

    BOYCOTT THIS ORGANIZATION that supports AMNESTY For
    Illegal Aliens. From their website: http://www.agc.org/

    Immigration Reform

    Comprehensive Immigration Reform Needed (We all know that Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the Politically Correct Code Word for AMNESTY for Criminals. It is noted here, that while 5 million plus LEGAL AMERICANS have lost their jobs, some seven million plus ILLEGAL ALIENS REMAIN IN OUR WORK FORCE.)

    Background:

    • Though comprehensive immigration reform died in the Senate in 2007, the issue has not gone away. The main focus in Congress rests on employee verification (E Verify which has proven NINETY NINE PERCENT EFFECTIVE in keeping illegal aliens out of the work force, off of construction sites.) and employer sanctions (E Verify works, and
    • agc knows it does...make the program mandatory, and their members LOSE THEIR EXCUSE for having Illegal Aliens on the payroll). Congress and many in the public have chosen to make businesses, all businesses, the scapegoat in the immigration debate. It is important to approach this issue rationally and to develop a fair system that does go after the bad actors, but does not seek to harm all businesses in the process. AGC is fighting against the excessive mandates and penalties being suggested on Capitol Hill. (We want our laws ENFORCED...is that EXCESSIVE? We want illegal aliens who are DEPRESSING OUR WAGES, STEALING OUR JOBS deported...is that excessive? We want employers who hire illegal aliens prosecuted and where appropriate imprisoned...if your members used E Verify, they would not have a worry now would they?)

    AGC Message:

    • Comprehensive Immigration Reform will Strengthen National Security. (Securing our borders, securing our points of entry, and ENFORCING OUR CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS would strengthen National Security. Giving AMNESTY TO 12-25 Million Illegal Aliens would WEAKEN SECURITY, and do nothing more than give scum companies that hire illegal aliens what they want...CHEAP LABOR.) A comprehensive approach to immigration reform would create better control over our borders and also provide for better interior enforcement against unscrupulous employers. (Any one...including politicians...who hires illegal aliens are unscrupulous.) Such efforts should be done at the same time as efforts to address both current and future labor needs.
    • Comprehensive Immigration Reform Needs to Address the Shortage of Construction Workers. (If your industry has a shortage of workers, it is because you have ROLLED BACK WAGES and BENEFITS as you have brought more Illegal Aliens into the industry in the name of Cheap Labor and higher profits, with the American Construction Worker a victim of these abuses.) The construction industry employs more than 7 million people today, and is projected to need an additional 180,000 net new jobs annually over the next ten years. The industry added more than 200,000 new workers in 2006. (How many of those employed in the industry ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS?)
    • To Legally Alleviate the Worker Shortage, AGC Advocates for the Creation of a New Guestworker Program. (Get THIS AMERICAN WORKERS...they want to replace even more of you with CHEAP LABOR from other countries under the guise of a Guest Worker Program...what's next, immigrant work trailers (slave camps) on the edge of large Construction Projects here in America, with shopping available at the company store?) The guestworker program should include the following:
      • Visas should be valid for a long enough timeframe to ensure that the training investment put forth is not lost. (How about TRAINING AMERICAN WORKERS?)
      • The visa should be renewable and there should be a way to sponsor employees for permanent residency while under the new visa process. (Sure, give our jobs to them forever without having to worry about them being citizens.)
      • If there is a cap, it should be flexible and based on the needs of the market place. (Over 5 million Americans are out of work right now, have lost their jobs...does your organization support a immigration and guest worker FREEZE until these people have been brought back into the work force?)
      • Individuals using the new visa should have to stay with the sponsoring employer for a certain amount of time (unless abuse of the employee is found) in order to actually address the needs of the employer. (CHEAP WAGE SCAM...freedom of movement here folks...instead, you want to have what amounts to SLAVE LABOR...we train you, and you work ONLY FOR US or leave. Better idea...leave them in their home countries and EMPLOY LEGAL AMERICANS AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.)
      • All labor and employment laws should apply. (The law makes it ILLEGAL TO HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS...why not suggest to your members THEY OBEY THE LAWS, instead of pushing for Amnesty for 12-25 Million Illegal Aliens?)
    • Establish an Opportunity for Earned Legal Status of Undocumented Workers. (Read what you WROTE...These people are criminals, illegal aliens that have broken our laws...that does not bother you, but instead you are bothered that Congress has not given you a means by which to make your ILLEGAL WORKERS LEGAL! Further, E VErify gives EVERY EMPLOYER a means of making sure their employees ARE LEGAL, but you instead try to insist the only workable program is a program that makes Illegal Alien workers LEGAL Workers.) The only way to guarantee that employers can reliably recognize undocumented workers is a legal system that will establish a way for undocumented workers to gain a recognized legal status that gives them authentic documents that prove they are legally eligible for work. Amnesty is not an option, an earned legal status should include fines, proven work contribution (without fines for employers who had employed reasonable background checks) English proficiency and security checks.
    • The Employee Verification Process should be Simplified with Proven Programs that are Gradually Implemented to Ensure Accuracy in the Results. The new system should include the following:
      • A new easy-to-use verification process should be made available to employers and should apply to new hires only. (E Verify is such a program, and should apply TO ALL EMPLOYEES, not just new hires. This would assure that some 85 percent of the ILLEGAL ALIENS currently working in America would lose their jobs, and without ability to work LEGALLY, they would self deport, thus solving the problem, and more than likely putting many LEGAL AMERICANS back in the work force at a better pay rate...AHHHHHHH, that is the rub for you isn't? Why does cheap fucking bastard pop to my mind? Let me guess, you tend to like the Peanut Corporation of American approach to Federal Regulation and Laws...ignore what is inconvenient to you and your members until you get caught red handed in and ICE RAID?)
      • Participation should be phased in so that the system is not overloaded and that problems with new system can be fixed. (E Verify is up and working, the kinks have been worked out, and it is 99 percent effective in identifying ILLEGAL WORKERS, so why not ENDORSE IT, and have your members start using it IMMEDIATELY, unless of course you really do not support the concept of EMPLOYING LEGAL CITIZENS AND LEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHEN YOU CAN HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS AT A DISCOUNT.)
      • Need certainty – employers should not be left in legal limbo with tentative non-confirmations from any new verification system. (E Verify WORKS QUICKLY, and is AFFORDABLE for the Employer to use.) Employer should not have liability if an employee is given a non-confirmation by the government system and the employer has to terminate employment. (Sure the supporters of E Verify would accept this condition for those ACTUALLY USING E VERIFY!)
      • Clear definition should be made of “critical infrastructure.” (This is CODE that suggests you do not want most Federal Projects, or Projects supported with tax dollars to require the use of LEGAL AMERICAN UNION CONSTRUCTION WORKERS on the job site.
    • Employers Should not be the Immigration Police. Future legislation should provide the following:
      • An exemption from penalty for good faith violations (i.e when employers are victims of document fraud) E Verify is over 99 percent fool proof, so why does your organization OPPOSE ITS IMPLEMENTATION AND USE.
      • Any increase in fines should be reasonable and be capped What is REASONABLE when a company deliberately uses ILLEGAL ALIENS, thus denying American Citizens the ability to work, to earn a living wage? I would endorse the Death Penalty for any company owner deliberately hiring Illegal Aliens...from my way of thinking, that is REASONABLE, though sure you might have a different opinion on the matter.
      • A safe harbor for contractors should be provided if their subcontractor employs an undocumented immigrant (provided that the contractor did not know the employee was undocumented). You are responsible for those working under your umbrella...no different than if someone kills someone else while driving my car...I am going to get drug into court, likely going to have my life ruined...maybe companies would be a bit more CAREFUL about the sub contractors they hire if they are legally responsible for their employees....as a note here, for National Security Purposes, it is the duty of Nuclear Reactor Owners to run a SECURITY CLEARANCE AND BACKGROUND CHECK on ALL WORKERS COMING ONTO THE JOB SITE, INCLUDING THOSE OF SUB CONTRACTORS, so it is not like we are trying to single out your industry.
      • Debarment should not be expanded beyond current law. Efforts to change the procurement process and ignore current Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) procedures should not be part of any immigration bill. Efforts to do so distort the procurement process which was not set up to be an enforcement tool for the federal government. GET REAL...you and the National Chamber of Commerce know that making it mandatory that all those bidding for Federal Contracts be required to use E Verify for ALL EMPLOYEES would end the Illegal Alien Scam that BIG BUSINESS and the likes of your organization have perpetrated on the American Worker now for decades. Congress should tack on E Verify requirements for every law they pass until those hiring illegal aliens GET A CLUE...FACT, if your members (some of them) were not hiring illegal aliens with your knowlege, you would not be lobbying for this particular item...the fact that you are tells an intelligent reader everything they need to know.

    If Obama Signs Stimulus Bill Into Law, He Is NOT The People's President

    IF President Obama does not VETO the Stimulus Bill as it now exists, he is NOT THE PRESIDENT of the people...a bold and tragic truth, but one that Main Street America must hear. First, the president himself has LIED TO US when he falsely claimed in front of the cameras that the Stimulus Bill is free of EARMARKS...right off the top there is over $30 Million for Nancy Pelosi, and that is one of the smaller ones...another one would give billions to Obama's personal pals in Illinios for a Clean Coal power plant that cannot be built (currently zeroed out). Care to talk about the EARMARK for nuclear power that will rape our environment, and ruin certain American communities?

    Lets move on...Lou Dobbs made it official tonight that the Senate/House compromise stripped out the language that would have made it mandatory for ALL CONTRACTORS getting money from this Stimulus Bill to use the E Verify system that makes it all but impossible for ILLEGAL ALIENS to get employeement here in America. It was no accident that said language was striped out, and the blame lies squarely at the feet of President Obama and his butt buddies at the National Chamber of Commerce. That makes TWO STRIKES on this bill and two strikes on the President.

    The final straw, the one that has put this bill into position of defining President Obama as both a man, and as a politician is the last one, the proverbial strike three. The House Senate compromise today has eliminated any restrictions on EXECUTIVE PAY...that is right, as of this evening, any protections that would have kept Wall Street and Bank Industry Executives from rewarding themselves LAVISH AND OVERLY GENEROUS BONUS PACKAGES was removed from the Stimulus Package. It's business as usual in Washington DC, the K Street crooks are roaming the halls of Congress, and OBama is ass sucking with the President of Caterpillar International who OBJECTS TO ANYTHING THAT PROTECTS AMERICAN WORKERS, who wanted protectionist language removed from the Stimulus Bill...Ass munching Obama not only has given this Corporate Robber Baron a high profile position with direct assess to the White House, Obama has him flying in Air Force One.

    So Obama, what is it...BIG BUSINESS AND SCUM SUCKING ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS, or the American Blue Collar Worker, the citizens of Main Street America? Your choice, and you had best choose wisely, as the side you take in how you handle this stimulus bill will decide your presidency, and your place in American History...are you with us or against us? If you are with us, then you cannot sign the Stimulus Bill as it now exists into law. We want E Verify, we want executive pay restraints, and we want the pork for people like Nancy Pelosi taken out. You sign that law, and every American in the Middle Class should disown you, should tell you to go fuck yourself and demand that you leave us the hell alone as we will no longer want you knocking on our doors...you will be scum, nothing more than despicable demon slim that miraculously crawled up out of hell's sewers onto the political stage to become a more traitorous President than even George W. Bush.
    A Pro ILLEGAL ALIEN SITE LOBBIED NAncy Pelosi and President Obama to have E Verify removed from Stimulus Bill...organizations like this MUST BE STOPPED, their supporters kept from STEALING OUR JOBS. See their action advice cut and pasted below. Companies hiring illegal aliens are traitors to America, and should be hauled off to internment camps, and all Illegal Aliens must be deported from within the borders of the United States...contrary to the National Chamber of Commerce, THEY ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE...we do not like CRIMINALS.

    ACTION: Stimulus Bill Includes E-verify Requirement

    January 23, 2009 · 3 Comments

    The House Appropriations Committee made a serious mistake when it approved an amendment to the stimulus bill (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) that would require all businesses and other public or private “entities” that contract to receive money from the stimulus package to use the flawed federal Basic Pilot/E-Verify program. This will not only delay use of stimulus funds, but will hurt millions of workers. It should be stripped from the bill.

    The E-Verify provision in the stimulus will:
    • Harm workers who are either falsely denied work or are targeted by employers abusing the E-verify program;
    • Create substantial new burdens for businesses, especially small businesses, at precisely the wrong time;
    • Send the wrong signal to new voters that the Congress prefers to play politics by enacting symbolic and ineffective immigration “enforcement” measures over serious and effective economic stimulus or serious immigration reform.

    Stimulus Bill To HELP CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS After E Verify Stripped Out of IT

    FUCK YOU PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, FUCK YOU SENATE, FUCK YOU CONGRESS and FUCK YOU NATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE!

    How dare you BASTARDS strip out of the Stimulus Bill the ONE THING that would have actually HELPED MIDDLE CLASS LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN WORKERS by stripping out during your compromise session E Verify! You are all a bunch of ass sucking, corporate ass munchers protecting your Campaign WAR CHEST, are out to DESTROY America's Middle Class in the name of Illegal Aliens and CORPORATE INTERESTS. Don't like my language...TOUGH FUCKING SHIT! With all DUE RESPECT BARACK OBAMA, you have shown yourself to be no better than the rest of THESE VERMIN...HOW DARE YOU FAIL TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN WORKER...and ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT AMERICAN WORKERS OR CITIZENS, and THEY DO NOT DESERVE TO BE!

    Wake up Middle Class Americans, like it or not, it is US OR THEM, and the time has come to take whatever steps, use whatever means is necessary to keep illegal aliens OUT OF OUR WORK FORCE. If our government, if our law enforcement agencies will not ENFORCE OUR LAWS AND DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS then we must take justice into our own hands, must do what is needed to see that our families COME FIRST.

    Our government has just turned its back on us, Barack Obama has turned his back on us. Over 7 MILLION illegal aliens ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR WORK FORCE while over FIVE MILLION LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE OUT OF WORK. If you have to organize protests, if you have to block the entrances of work places that are employing illegal aliens, the time has come to show the National Chamber of Commerce, our elected officials in Washinton DC (Nancy Pelosi) and our president that AMERICANS COME FIRST.

    The time has come for Americans to take steps to do the job our government refuses to do...enforce our laws, and deport illegal alien criminals. We need to take back our jobs, and take back our communities...the time to end the infestation IS NOW. Every illegal alien on American Soil who is working at ANY JOB is stealing your job, stealing FOOD FROM YOUR FAMILY TABLE...this can no longer be tolerated. If our government will not ENFORCE OUR LAWS AS WRITTEN, if OUR GOVERNMENT ELIMINATES PROGRAMS LIKE E VERIFY, then we MUST REBEL AGAINST OUR OPPRESSORS, and our oppressors ARE WASHINGTON, ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

    Obama...Where is My 30 Percent MORTGAGE DISCOUNT?

    In the latest news from the White House, it is being hinted at that millions of Americans who saw their homes slide into foreclosure could have the government (with our tax dollars) buy their homes back for them from the bank/lending institute at greatly discounted price (30 percent discount is being tossed around), and then negotiate out low interest 30 year loans so that these families can keep their homes. Now here is my question on this proposal.

    We have played by the rules, made all our house payments. Despite this playing by the rules, we have seen (because of the mortgage crisis) the value of our home plummet, and we are currently paying mortgage payments 2.5-3 points higher than the mortgage interest these people in foreclosure would be paying under Obama's new plan. Where is the fairness in that? Why should I and others like me have to keep paying a mortgage at full original price, and at a much higher rate of interest while those that caused its value to plummet get a greatly discounted deal courtesy of my taxes, and GET A GREATLY REDUCED INTEREST rate on top of it all that will be made possible because of my taxes.

    Does Obama really see this as fair? This takes those who were behind us in the proverbial food line if you will, and puts them WAY AHEAD OF US! Such a move makes us slaves to our now over valued homes and the mortgages on them, or forces us to just walk away from them...is that what you want Mr. Obama?

    Why Middle America Should Just Say No To Bailout and Stimulus Packages

    LIAR AND CHIEF
    The more I see of Washington, the more I see of the Obama Bailout and Stimulus plans, the more I am convinced that President Obama and our National Government have no clue, the more I am convinced that they have no compassion for the average American who is being screwed royally as our economy crashes and burns. The more I see, the more I am convinced that the time has come for Middle Class American to take to the streets, the more I am convinced that we must use whatever force is necessary to take back our lives, our jobs and our American Dreams from those that are trying to steal them, and that includes every Politicians in Washington, DC and every illegal aliens residing/working within the borders of the United States of America.

    Perhaps someone from the White House can explain to me why it is that my taxes should be used to bailout banks bad investments, why I should support a plan that would buy up Wall Streets bad paper when it is thier actions that have cost my wife and I over $100,000 in lost equity in our home, thus leaving us in an upside down mortgage? Perhaps Obama could explain to me why it is that I and others in the Middle Class have to accept our share of a Federal Bailout to the tune of trillions of dollars when, through no fault of our own we have seen our own retirement plans and 401 K's drop hundreds of thousands of dollars in value because of illegal activity on the part of Wall Street, and America's banking system....where is our bailout, and where are the criminal prosecutions of these rich elitists who broke our laws, stole our dreams? Your PALTRY $1,000 tax deduction when it is the government's failure to regulate to do its job that has cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars of our life nest egg is a REPUGNANT INSULT....take your rebates and tax breaks and stick them up your collective asses! Stop trying to march out before the people saying you are ON OUR SIDE...you are not on our side, and your desire to coddle ILLEGAL ALIEN SCUM proves that....who the fuck do you think you are when you intend of thwarting the will of the people in pursuing an Amnesty for 12 -25 million illegal alien criminals? Who do you think you are in supporting MORE H1 Visa's in the name of the National Chamber of Commerce and CHEAP WAGES?

    There is talk about screwing us Boomers out of our Social Security because the system is BROKEN....with all due respect, this year alone (counting the matching donation from our employer on our behalf) my wife and I have put more than $11,000 into the Social Security System, have done so for years...WHAT HAS WASHINGTON DONE WITH OUR MONEY, when is Washington going to REPAY the IOU's in the Social Security Account for money wrongfully borrowed and used for decades now?
    Don't tell us when we have paid into the system for over three decades now that we should be willing to accept the reality that Social Security will not be there for us, or if it is there for us, we will get less than half of what we are supposed to recieve in the name of preserving the system for future generations...SCREW YOUR TALK ABOUT FUTURE GENERATIONS....we have sacrificed our whole lives, and now you want us to live out our retirement years in abject poverty for FUTURE GENERATIONS...sorry, but FUCK YOU, FUCK THE DEMOCRATS, FUCK THE REPUBLICANS, and FUCK THE CORRUPTION THAT IS WASHINGTON DC, and FUCK THOSE FUTURE GENERATIONS...with Affirmative Action and various other Federal Mandates that always saw people like me asked to sacrifice for a larger societal goal, I am TIRED OF WAITING...it is my/our turn now, and all your talk of us pulling up our bootstraps and digging in so that those following in our footsteps can have a better life is HORSE SHIT. We played by the rules, even when those rules were NOT FAIR TO US....now it is our turn, and the fact that you expect us to give it up is simply unacceptable.

    Tell me Mr. Obama why I and other Americans in the middle class, why almost 75 million Boomers close to retirement should be willing to sacrifice in the name of future generations when you and other fuck turds in Washington continue to let Illegal Aliens steal our jobs, depress our wages and ruin our neighborhoods? Tell us why is it you want to give them AMNESTY as it is the right thing to do (for who?)...do you know how OFFENSIVE THAT IS MR OBAMA...why the fuck does some CRIMINAL who broke at least four of our laws in being here deserve AMNESTY...they deserve a CRIMINAL RECORD AND DEPORTATION. If I as an American citizen broke the number of laws that an illegal alien breaks in being and working here in America illegally, I would be IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED, but in the name of the National Chamber of Commerce you and other scum like you want to look the other way, want to grant these scum AMNESTY. Tell me MR OBAMA...how many children of ILLEGAL ALIENS got health insurance when you signed into law your new Health Care Law....do you really think that is fair? If you do, you are one dumb assed ignorant Harvard Graduate. We in the middle class are tired of the worn out lie...they are taking job we will not do...BULL SHIT! IF those hiring illegal aliens PAID A LIVING WAGE, hard working Americans WOULD TAKE THOSE JOBS IN A HEART BEAT.

    You promised change...where is it? You tell us to be patient...why should we be patient when every day we see you and your ilk continuing to bail out the rich and elite while fucking us over in the middle class.
    Lets have some STRAIGHT TALK here Mr. Obama...how much do you expect US IN THE MIDDLE CLASS to suffer in the name of your dream of building a Socialist Nervana in which the rich and elite rule over a enslaved and meek serdom of broken middle class citizens? Can you give us a good reason Mr. Obama why we should not take to the streets in massive protests? Can you give us a reason why we should not take actions to protect our own jobs, to see that illegal aliens stop being allowed to work at jobs that are rightfully ours? Can you give us a good reason why we should not just walk away from our upside down mortgages, why we should not stop making payments on our credit cards and simply let the economy crash? If everyone but US IN THE MIDDLE CLASS are going to get a bailout while we are left holding the bag, why shouldn't we rebel against the injustice of it? You want to KEEP PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES, but at WHAT COST TO THOSE OF US THAT PLAYED BY THE RULES? Their buying houses they could not afford, idiot banks lending them the money to do so have cost us EVERY PENNY OF EQUITY WE HAD IN OUR HOME, we are now in an upside down mortgage....yet, where is OUR FUCKING BAILOUT MR. PRESIDENT.
    You say you want to HEAR US, then try really listening, know the anger that is seething here in our middle class neighborhoods, under stand the bitter hatred we have of illegal aliens because they HAVE STOLEN OUR JOBS, HAVE DEPRESSED OUR WAGE BASES, HAVE IN MANY CASES RUINED OUR NEIGHBORHOODS while Washington looks the other way, tells us in 30 second sound bites that Amnesty is the right thing to do. Tell me MR AMNESTY PRESIDENT...do you know what it is like to have 30-40 illegal aliens living in the house next door to you, and in the house across the street...do you know what its like to have the local police DO NOTING ABOUT IT because our city acts as a Safe Haven for ILLEGAL ALIENS.
    Understand how close many of us are to saying to hell with it, as we walk away from our own debts and upside down mortgages convinced there is no other course since our government has decided it is us who have obeyed the rules that must bail out those that did not...A Nation of laws...BULL SHIT! In a nation of laws, 12-25 million illegal aliens would be deported, those that hire them prosecuted for their crimes. In a nation of laws, our banks would be nationalized, and entire management teams imprisoned for life. So far MR OBAMA, you have given people like me NO REASON to be patient, given us no reason to believe that you are on our side. Instead, we see more of the same as illegal aliens are coddled to, and the UBER RICH get bailed out at the expense of the middle class, while the National Chamber of Commerce uses their might to get you and the Congress to give them more and more bodies as they work to keep our wages depressed and bottomed out.


    I would STRONGLY SUGGEST that you Mr. Obama stop playing games, would suggest you come before the American people ASAP and explain what it is you are going to do to make those of us in the Middle Class who have played by the rules our entire lives WHOLE AGAIN. Explain to us why we should accept AMNESTY for 12-25 million illegal aliens, why we should respect your belief that they should be allowed to keep their jobs when 5 million of us have lost our jobs, explain to us why you are KILLING E VERIFY in the name of scum sucking criminal illegal alien scab laborers that have depressed our wage base here in the middle class, stolen jobs that belong to us and our children. Explain to us Mr. Obama why we enmasse should not simply turn our backs on a government in Washington that has betrayed us, crippled if not forever stolen our AMERICAN DREAM. Oh...one last point...being against illegal aliens does not make myself or others racist...ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE CRIMINALS regardless of their nationality or country of origin. As example, I want ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED...this includes all the ones from Mexico, but also includes (as example) all the ones from Ireland as well.

    Her Star Fading Fast, Palin CANCELS CPAC Appearance

    In a move that has stunned her radical right wing, pro life conservative wing nut supporters, Sarah Palin of fleeting fame has dropped out of CPAC, will not be making her promised appearance at the event...probably out of fear she would not have placed well in the straw poll contest to pick a 2012 Presidential nominee for the Republican Ticket. The political whack job from Alaska of Troopergate Shame who has ZERO CHANCE at a successful White House run, and who may have seen her last win in a major political race when she became governor has seen her political stock tumble since Americans saw THE TRUE PALIN when she was McCain's running mate this past fall. Fake values, poor job of raising children who are now having children out of wedlock themselves, and putting her job before her downs syndrome child make her a poor choice as a role model, but the rabid religious right desparate for any one that can keep their radical agenda in the news have been propping the Radical Pentacostal woman up, doing everything in their power to keep her fleeting fame alive...this stunning cancellation may be the beginning of the end for the Sarah Palin show and the sooner she goes back to eating Moose meat off of paper plates, the better off we here in the main body of America will be.

    Palin will not be attending this year’s CPAC, confirm organizers.

    (CNN) — Sarah Palin will not be attending the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington later this month, her office confirmed to CNN Tuesday.

    The Alaska governor had been expected to serve as the headline attraction at the three day event, which is also scheduled to include conservative icons like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter. The presidential straw poll conducted at the annual Washington gathering is widely viewed as a reliable bellwether of conservative support. Several of the GOP’s past — and potentially future — presidential hopefuls are also slated to address the gathering, including Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul.

    McCain Gone, Sarah Palin is BACK TO LOVING PORK

    Snooping around some of the sites I found in ready the moronic comments of the Sarah Palin contingent, seems that Sarah Palin has been spending some time in Washington, DC doing what she is good at...asking for PORK. I thought she'd sworn off of that? NOPE...she wants her second bridge to nowhere (Wasilla) built, and wants Obama to encourage Canada to help her out with her half a trillion dollar Gas Pipeline. Here is a clue Sarah...build your own damn pipeline, rather than expecting Congress to fund it, and a bunch of other projects that you need to learn how to live without.


    The Iron Dog Race is On

    The Great Iron Dog Race is on, and found a picture of The First Dude With His Iron Bitch...pity the Alaskan Legislature chose to ignore Todd and Sarah's criminal actions in Troopergate...sure if she tries to run for President in 2012 we'll have a WHOLE LOT OF FUN at her expense with that one! Looking at all the radical right wing, pro-life, praise jesus pseudo conservatives trying to draft her into that job, can hardly wait. By the way...for all those Pro Sarah numbnuts that got their panties in a knot over my last post about her and the pipeline...Alaskans per person get more Federal Government subsidies than in any other state in America. Her pipeline has already cost Alaskans half a trillion dollars, and there is NO REASON why the other 49 states should bail out Alaska...you voted her into office, and we can speak to you about the pipeline when you vote her out of office...till then, any letters she writes to Obama should be flushed down the shitter. To the victor go the spoils, and like it or not, Alaska has to pay a price for Sarah's rhetoric.

    Pentagon and Fort Hood KILLING ENDANGERED WARBLERS

    Pentagaon-ENDANGERED BIRD KILLERS-STOP WARBLER HOLOCAUST IN TEXAS

    OK Obama, show us your GREEN STRIPES as Commander and Chief, and stop a three card monty shell game being played by the Pentagon wherein they pay BLOOD MONEY for the killing of the ENDANGERED GOLDEN CHEEKED WARBLERS through callous, cruel and (it is believed) ILLEGAL HABITAT DESTRUCTION at Fort Hood in Texas. According to an article in the Washington Post, the Pentagon (HIGH UP GENERAL's) created a super top secret plan where they FUNNELED money through the University of TExas A&M to landowners under the guise that these landowners would develop alternative NEW HABITAT for the endangered warblers so that they (the Army and Pentagon) could destroy PROTECTED ON BASE HABITAT playing WARM GAMES that easily could have been held in ALTERNATIVE LOCALS.

    You want a reason, one reason why this is wrong, and should be stopped...this environmental raping of Endangered Species Habitat was CHAMPIONED BY THE WORST ENVIRONMENTAL PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, George W. Bush. Want another reason...the secret payments to some VERY SELECTIVE LANDOWNERS has so far paid out over $4.4 Milliono dollars while REFUSING TO IDENTIFY WHO THESE LANDOWNERS ARE so that the supposed private set asides and habitat develop can be verified!

    I would encourage all concerned birders to stop this raping of endangered species habitat on Pentagon Property by taking the following steps:

    1. Contact Barack Obama at the White House and demand he issue and executive order stopping this wrongful pay out of BIRD BLOOD MONEY.
    Comments: 202-456-1111. Switchboard: 202-456-1414

    Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs

    3. Contact Texas A&M and demand they WASH THEIR HANDS OF THE PROGRAM, demand they cease being enablers. 979-845-4728

    Tards For Palin...The Wah Wah Sisterhood of Whiners?

    Looking at my stats today, got a chuckle to see there is a whole contingent of folks already working to see Sarah "the bitch" Palin named as the Republican Party Presidential Candidate in 2012. Seems Sarah has her own PAC, and a group of Tards for Sarah that call themselves Team Sarah...HOW ORIGINAL...wonder who the brain trust was/is behind that one? (Karl Rove?) Anyway, since they seem to be keeping an eye on us here at Washington Scandal (Sarah has publically stated SHE HATES BLOGGERS), thought we would give our readers a link to their efforts...if nothing else, its a great resource to keep tabs on "The Sarah". As example, Team Sarah paints an upcoming event in which both she and Obama will appear together as if Mother Mary is going to Washington to visit the Christ Child while at the same time whining about a judge who rightfully called Sarah Palin for wrongfully using her handicapped child as a political tool to further her own political career above all else...including raising her children with proper guidance and values if you consider getting pregnant out of marriage a sin. By the way, are we the only ones that have noticed there has been NO MENTION of that supposed marriage moving forward now that the election is over?

    After making this post, and looking at my previous posts, realized that the Pro Palin wing nuts had crawled out from under their rocks when I posted negatively on Sarah Palin over the weekend...to be precise, some 62 of them saw fit to leave comments on that post. THANKS FOR THE TRAFFIC.

    This got me to wondering where all this ACTIVITY WAS COMING FROM, and why the attention from a new Pro Sarah site so I did some homework, and NOW I UNDERSTAND. It seems I have caught the attention of the rabid, foaming at the mouth, PRO-LIFE, radical right wing of the Republican Party...it seems that Team Sarah is just another one of the rabid BRAIN FARTS of the Susan B. Anthony List! For the record now that I know who is behind this, I think that Sarah's teenager daughter should have made the right choice ang gotten and abortion.

    Green Jobs That Pay A Living Wage

    This post is compliments of my newest Blogging Effort, Green White House, where OBama's promise of a new Green Economy is graded, discussed and written about. He said in Elkhart Indiana today that Americans need a Living Wage...well, what is a living wage, and once you know what a living wage is, where is Congress in MANDATING IT? Green White House has thrown out some food for thought on this subject, and it is my hope that some of you will add to the discussion in the comments section here or over there.

    Defining Living Wage Is Key To a Green Economy

    In Saturday's post it was pointed out to Mr, Obama that Green Jobs are not exactly at the top of the pay scale, are not the kind of jobs people are going to want to fill...low pay and few if any benefits are not the model for a paradigm shift in the American Work Force to a Green Economy, which is what is needed to fully address Global Warming. If Obama is going to create 3-4 million GREEN JOBS, shouldn't we first define what a living wage should be?

    We do not need three to four million poor paying McDonanld's type jobs with poor benefits, we need three to four million jobs that a person can support a family with...where is our Federal Government in their efforts too SAVE OUR ECONOMY, in doing the necessary homework to make sure they are creating the right kind of jobs, rather than simply throwing money at companies and hoping they will do the right thing by Ameriuca's work force.

    Doing some thinking on the subject, and based on both adults in the family working full time, I would suggest the following components as part of a living wage:

    1. Sick Leave-one day acrued for each month of employment, with a maximum cap of 120 days of accrued sick leave. (These days can be used because the employee is sick, or a member of their family is sick and needs personal care.)

    2. Paid Holidays-Christmas, New Year's Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day,Thanksgiving to be combined with four personal holidays for a total of ten days per year.

    3. Paid major medical coverage that includes dental, eye care and a reduced prescription plan.

    4. Minimum of two weeks paid vacation per year with a guaranteed climb to four weeks paid vacation with five years of seniority with the company.

    5. Looking at the various costs incurred by a AVERAGE FAMILY of four including utilities, mortgage and even our taxes at all levels of government, the average family needs to earn $60,000 a year to live a relatively comfortable lifestyle and cover their bases. That comes out to a gross income of $30,000 per year per adult in the family. To make a long storty short, a Minimum Wage on a National Basis of $11.50 per hour could attain this goal of a living wage with a bit of a cushion to spare.

    The Federal Government, our elected members of Congress could make this goal a reality passing a Living Wage Bill, a new workers Bill of Rights. The time has come to do right by America's MAjority, the backbone that has built this nation from the ground up, the true creators of all that wealth selfishly held by the UBER RICH.

    Taliban Cuts Off Head of Hostage...Wants Their Own Prisoners Released

    The Taliban heheaded a Polish Hostage and is refusing to release the body until some of their comrades are released...sounds FAIR ENOUGH...take the prisoners they want released into a room, CUT THEIR FUCKING HEADS OFF and send them to the Taliban...maybe then they will get a FUCKING CLUE? OH, OH, OH, let me guess, a lot of you will say this is not politically correct! Who cares, lets set aside the whole PC thing, and start busting some fucking heads. Trust me, you send a wagon load of headless Taliban back to the Taliban, you will shake them up, you will have their attention.

    Taliban say behead Polish hostage in Pakistan

    KOHAT, Pakistan, Feb. 7, 2009 (Reuters) — Taliban fighters beheaded a Polish hostage in Pakistan Saturday, according to a spokesman for the militants who said the body wouldn't be handed over until some captured Taliban were released. ... > full story

    Communist and Chief?

    So, Mr. Obama and his family are feeling a bit of cabin fever after two weeks in the White House, have decided to get onto Marine One and flit over to Camp David for the weekend because they feel CLOSED IN living in a 55,000 ssquare foot home on 15 acres of land in Washington, DC! What is wrong with this picture...meanwhile, Glenn Beck did a very good job of reminding us that Mr. Obama seems to be leading us down a bit of a side road towards socialism that could at any minute make a left hand turn onto Communist Avenue.


    Mr. Obama, Our GREEN PRESIDENT?

    President Obama With Chief of Staff, Mr AssMunch
    So, we have Mr. Green President taking a heliocopter ride to his plane to fly to Williamsburg to speak with Democrats for half of one hour before he flys back to the Whitehouse. This weekend we have Mr. Obama putting his family on same heliocopter to fly 45 minutes to use a SECOND HOME at his disposal for a night and a day. Upon return to Washington and the White House he will again take a heliocopter to his plane where he will fly to three different states next week, spending part of his time in a third house, his home in Chicago. Is this Mr. Obama's idea of sacrificing for a cleaner environment, his idea of learning to live greener...OH, did we forget to mention his TURNING THE HEAT UP in the Oval Office so he and his staff could wear short sleeves? Here is a CLUE Mr. FAKE GREEN PRESIDENT...do not ask us as Americans to sacrifice, to turn down our thermostats, to drive less when you cannot curtail such egregiously NON GREEN ACTIVITIES for yourself and your family while living in the White House.

    Obama's Scam of an Economic Recovery Advisory Board

    Wading right into the fray, lets attack Barack Obama for his scam on the American Public in his so called Economic Recovery Advisory Board that is littered with an array of scum buckets who contributed greatly to the current disaster we find ourselves in the middle of! His Economic Recovery Advisory Board is a perfect example of POLITICS AS USUAL, the board a perfect example of people being placed on boards, put into positions of authority based on who they know, and the favors they are owed...the board does not have ONE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN ON IT, does not have one person on it that can speak for the average American citizen that is paying the price for corporate and Wall Street abuses that caused this mess...you Mr. Obama are so far proving you are a brown nosing ass kisser who is playing the same favor driven, back patting game of politics that Americans are SICK OF...you disgust me!

    William H. Donaldson, Chairman, SEC (2003-2005) Why have this man serving on the recovery board? He and his staff allowed the largest ponzi scheme ($50 Billion dollars) to occur right under their noses while he and his staff looked the other way! As we saw in the Congressional Hearings, if this man had no clue that the $50 Billion dollar scam was taking place, he lived under a rock, and thus has no right to be sitting in a chair on this committee.

    Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., President & CEO, TIAA-CREF Is Mr. Obama aware of the lousy job TIAA-CREF does in protecting the assets of their investors...they don't even provide advice to their clients, leave our nations teachers and professors to fend for themselves, then claim innocense when their various offerings turn out to be lemons.

    Robert Wolf, Chairman & CEO, UBS Group Americas Curious here...didn't UBS get some bailout assistance curtesy of the American Tax Payer?

    David F. Swensen, CIO, Yale University

    Mark T. Gallogly, Founder & Managing Partner, Centerbridge Partners L.P. Corporate Raiders specializing in predatory take overs of trouble properties and companies...talk about letting the foxes guard the hen house.

    Penny Pritzker, Chairman & Founder, Pritzker Realty Group Talk about croonism and repaying favors...tell me Obama, what part did this woman play in your Presidential Campaign? Is this your idea of bringing CHANGE TO WASHINGTON...how many other favors are you going to repay with PLUM ASSIGNMENTS?

    Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO, GE

    John Doerr, Partner, Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers Talk about INSIDER TRADING and questionable use of information...on the board of this company are such notables as both Al Gore and Colin Powell...tell us Mr. Obama, is it such a wise idea to give this speculative investor the inside track to sensitive economic recovery information, thus giving them even greater ability to use inside information to get even richer? Is this a round about way to repay the Clinton/Gore team for giving you such incredible access to their former staff in buidling your current one?

    Jim Owens, Chairman and CEO, Caterpillar Inc.

    Monica C. Lozano, Publisher & Chief Executive Officer, La Opinion How convenient you chose such little known association for Ms. Lozano...lets define a bit better her incredible WEB of connections as one of your hard hitters Mr. Obama...again, you show an incredible ability to play politics as usual, rewarding those who have gotten you where you are at, rather than putting people on this committee that could really help restore our economy to where it needs to be, people who can really understand the plight of the middleclass who are paying for the greed of people like these on your committee that actually CRASHED OUR ECONOMY!

    Anna Burger, Chair, Change to Win

    You get the idea...Obama is not bringing change to Washington, DC but instead is doing business as usual, bringing in the UBER RICH To run rough shod over the masses, giving them the keys to the palace, letting them deside what crumbs from their own feasting table will be shared with us the huddled and broken masses.

    Sarah Palin, No Class, But BIG BALLS

    Sarah Palin in another example of the woman having NO CLASS, but balls the size of a bull elephant has written President Obama asking for his help in saving her pork barrel natural gas pipeline. Hopefully that letter ended up where it belonged...in the shitter. Sorry Mx. Palin, but a bitch like you deserves NO SPECIAL FAVORS from the White House. If you want to prattle on at the unfairness of BLOGGERS LIKE ME constantly attacking a sweet little innocent Alaskan woman like yourself, knock yourself out.

    In a letter to the president, the former vice presidential candidate urges Obama to discuss the construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline when he sits down with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

    (CNN) – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made a special appeal to President Obama Friday, asking him to keep her state in mind when he travels to Canada in two weeks.

    In a letter to the president, the former vice presidential candidate urges Obama to discuss the construction of an Alaska natural gas pipeline when he sits down with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

    “Alaskans have appreciated your strong support for the construction of such a pipeline," Palin wrote. "This project is now moving forward, and I believe that a discussion between you and Prime Minister Harper would greatly facilitate the process now under way.”

    The pipeline, currently in planning stages, could reportedly generate thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue for the state. Obama expressed support for the project during the campaign.


    Return From The Dead...

    Greetings Readers:

    Between my wife's surgical issues, her recovery, and my own attempts to give up cigarettes, was simply not up to keeping up with my various and assorted blogs for the past couple of months while I went through transition. Some quick personal updates:

    1. Wife's surgery went well (she had all her female parts removed) and her recovery though long has gone well and she returned to work this past Monday.

    2. On a related track, we got her six month post breast cancer surgery and radiation treatment report in December, and am pleased to announce she is cancer free.

    3. In three short days (February 9th) both my wife and I will have been smoke free for FOUR MONTHS! Not out of the woods yet, but feeling pretty good here, and almost ready to say I am no longer a smoker...yes, still afraid of a relapse here.

    Some quick remarks on the news...

    Seems that the Great Pork Barrel Stimulus package is going to make it through the Senate...who cares, it will DO NOTHING for those of us in the middle class.

    Americans on Main Street have lost 3.6 million jobs since the start of the recession we are in right now...to put that in perspective, there are still over eight million illegal aliens unlawfully holding down jobs in our truobled economy...meanwhile, Obama was to grant these criminals AMNESTY!

    Sarah WAH-WAH Palin has gone on record as hating bloggers...do we really give a flying rats ass what Sarah thinks about us?

    Anyway, its good to be back, and look for a more rapid upload of my views on the news that matters in the coming days as weeks.

    Post Thanksgiving Updates

    Greetings Readers:

    Do apologize for the absense, but Thanksgiving is one of my/our favorite holidays, and as upsetting as the terrorists attacks in India were, was not about to intrude on family time to blog about it. My approach to terrorists and terrorism is (to quote Mr. Natural) plain and to the point...I hold moderate Muslims accountable, believe they are failing to police their own, so I would bomb a Mosque every time Radical Islamic Muslim terrorists strike anywhere in the world...call it TOUGH LOVE, but I believe it would not take long for the supposed moderates to bring their own radical fringe into line.
    As to Obama and his transition efforts...WHERE IS THE CHANGE? Further, am more than a bit upset with his Pro-BIG BUSINESS, Pro Illegal Alien, Anti American Middle Class Cabinet that he is putting together...if he thinks Main Street Americans will take AMNESTY for Illegal Aliens, he is sadly mistaken.
    On the Chambliss win...WHO CARES? The pundits are acting as if America has now sent Obama a message to govern from the center...HORSE FUCKING SHIT...Georgia, a redneck, rabid right wing Southern Red state did what they usually do...send a Republican to the Senate. That is not a message from America for Obama to govern from the center.
    The up, down and sideways stockmarket...screw the day traders and money whores, and jump in while the bargains abound...in five years you will be glad you did, as the market over the long haul is ALWAYS a winner...to those Boomers who were right on the verge on retiring...WHOOPS, you got caught by the short hairs. To those in the 65 and over AARP group that are whining...get over it, it was/is your GREED that kept us from salvaging Social Security affordably because you were unwilling to share equally in the bailout...I have no sympathy for any of you, only anger and resentment that you have been spending MY GENERATIONS payments into the fund.
