Sunday Wrap-Up

28 02 2010

(1)  Just another day for you and me in paradise.

(2)  The NBA taught him about ballin.  I wonder if the girl was white.

(3)  The devil giveth, and the devil taketh away:  Soros to come out big on the fall of the Euro.  Of course he would — The main reason the Euro is faltering is due to the faltering Greek economy combined with the country being in arrears on many loans from the EU, and that is complicated by the fact that Soros manipulated the international currency market so that Greece could afford to hold the 2004 Summer Olympics.

(4)  Rush doesn’t miss much, but I’m not surprised he missed the most obnoxious angle of this.  I noticed it, because I was especially taken aback at the Obama fraudulence over the jobs issue in the 2008 Presidential campaign.  Axelrod’s triangulation strategery on the jobs issue was to run ads saying that Barack Obama would end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.  In other words, they were making half a promise, because they’re free traders on the one hand, but they needed the votes from economically frustrated working class whites in the Rust Belt on the other hand.  And it worked.

Rush took a call on Friday from a woman in suburban Detroit, who said that she was recently laid off from GMAC, because GM was outsourcing her job to somewhere in Asia.  President Obama owns GM for all intents and purposes, and still, jobs at GMAC are being outsourced to Fuckalore.  One stroke of a pen could have stopped it.  UPDATE 3/2: It gets worse.  Prorated to a year, Michael Carpenter, who was GMAC’s CEO for a month and a half last year, was paid $9.6 million.  Remember, GMAC is owned by GM, and GM is essentially owned by a politician upset with huge CEO salaries.

(5)  House Speaker Ron Richard pondering a run for Governor in 2016.  Gee, Ron, that’s showing a lot of confidence in Peter Kinder.  Then again, I don’t have a lot of confidence in Peter Kinder, either.

(6)  Ah, yes, it’s the classic grudge match between the septuagenarians vs the octogenarians.

(7)  Reason #498 why I don’t own an iCabal portable music device or phone:  The iSweatshop.

(8)  Yesterday, they were Nazis.  Today, they’re her good buddies in the fight against the special interests.

(9)  Yesterday, they were Nazis.  Today, they’re just 60s hippie baby boomers who are now re-living past glory on the other side of the aisle.

(10)  This you gotta read:  Slums are environmentally friendly.  What this means is that the establishment is trying to grease the skids to get people to like living in slums and working for peanuts.

(11)  April Fools Day is still a month away.  So why are we getting joke stories about a Hyundai doing 120?  That’s about as credible as getting a citation while driving a Chevy Citation.

And some headlines.
