A look into the future: the Health Administration Bureau! The speed of FEMA, the effectiveness of the Immigration Service, and the compassion of the IRS!

ObamaCare could literally cripple my son
Posted on July 16, 2009 by Mike O
How will it do that? (My son’s background can be found here.)
By removing the private insurance option from anyone who changes jobs and seeks individual policies:
When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday, just after the 1,018-page document was released, we thought we surely must be misreading it. So we sought help from the House Ways [...]

Just a reminder
Posted on July 7, 2009 by Mike O
A significant event went by on July 1st without comment; and it certainly was pretty much a taboo topic for the MSM (except for Colbert trying to make light of the accomplishment). Count on Michael Ramirez to visualize it best.
Thanks to our military- and their previous C-in-C- for sticking it through. As they left the [...]

Healthcare, Exhibit B
Posted on July 1, 2009 by Mike O
Now that Obama put on his Dog and Pony show on health care including an ‘Exhibit A’ truly sad story… which turns out to be a volunteer in an Obama organization whose ticket was provided directly by the White House. In fact, all three ‘random’ questioners were full-time Obama or union shills). True as the [...]

When No one Reads the Bill before Passing it
Posted on July 1, 2009 by Mike O
..You get really bad law. Especially with placeholders for sections to be written after passage.
Wouldn’t want anybody to actually read about the out-and-out vote-buying going on. Not to mention the doubling of your electric bill.
Just a tiny taste of what’s in the non-pork portions of Crap & Trade that few have figured out yet. EPA [...]

NO ONE Read Cap & Trade before it Passed
Posted on June 28, 2009 by Mike O
Has there ever been such a case of legislative mafesence within the American government before? NO ONE in the House had read the Cap & Trade Bill before it was passed! Good, bad or indifferent, it doesn’t matter; it can now be ‘finalized’ to include ANYTHING!
It is absolutely critical that the current Congressional leadership be [...]

Government Motors Decision-Making
Posted on June 27, 2009 by Mike O
Certainly proof that the fastest way to make sure that a business will make the absolutely wrong choices is let the government and the unions to make the decisions.
The biggest problem GM has is the excessive expense of it’s older labor and plants in the traditional sites like Detroit. which also have little expertise or [...]

A Double Tribute

As said before: good luck to the Iranian people (who are demanding the same thing the neighboring Iraqis now have- with our help). And this uses a number from before the exceptional singer disappeared into quirkiness and pedophilia:

Our new friends
Posted on June 24, 2009 by Mike O
Syria(an ambassador), Venezuela(restore ties), and Zimbabwe ($73 million) . Abbas, Chavez and Mugabe, oh my!
At least the Big Zero punished the Iranians severely for slaughtering their people in the streets today; he disinvited them from the July 4th picnic (only reluctantly and they weren’t coming anyway, but he has to be tough!) I’m sure Neda’s [...]

Good Luck to the Iranian People
Posted on June 18, 2009 by Mike O
Update: Saturday has turned into a bloodbath. Stuff like this is showing how ‘reasonable’ the powers in Iran are (Warning: very graphic!) And large number of people are now disappearing, including journalists; it looks like despotism is the answer, though the people seem unwilling to go quietly. And, since our administration- with the support of [...]

Fiscal Horror Story of the Day

As so eloquently put at Hotair: Only one model matches it; Germany in the 1920s.
Of course, that brings to mind pictures of Zimbabwean grocery shoppers, predicted here earlier.

Executive Summary of Governmental Hijacking of Capitalism
Posted on June 7, 2009 by Mike O
The government is working rapidly to inflict it’s own incompetences on top of those shown by some of the businesses that were ‘too big to fail’. This way, the entire country gets to fail together!
Government capitalism requires no relevant experience, just political activism.

If not Gitmo, then what?
Posted on June 7, 2009 by Mike O
It’s not like these guys aren’t going to be a problem if they are ever released. Those that are certainly don’t speak well for what they’ll do if the rest are freed, nor the process that freed them. If they are prisoners of war, then they can only be released when the war is over. [...]

Muslim Extremist Murders U.S. Serviceman on American Streets

Since the MSM refuses to cover this story in deference to political Correctness and not making Big O’s Prostration and Apology Global Tour look too out of place, I thought I might post some of the ‘news that’s NOT fit to print’ here. You certainly won’t see a peep on this on CNN or MSNBC.
