I just wanted to let everyone know that this stuff really works — I am now officially unemployed for the first time in my adult life, and the company that I worked for will probably be forced to close its doors soon thanks to socialist economics and super-hero Barack Obama.

And with reduced competition and the inflation that trillions of dollars worth of un-backed curency flooding the market will cause, you can be sure that the products we used to bring you will increase in price while your wages drop and your money becomes worthless.

Thanks Obama — Lovin’ the change!

Occasionally Google includes special modifications or funny features to it’s famous logo. These are called Google Doodles, and they usually commemorate special dates such as Holidays, or birthdays of noted people.

Eight years ago, on this date, 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners, and deliberately crashed them.

Two planes were crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. (Within two hours, both towers collapsed.)

The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, killing everyone on board in addition to 125 occupants of the Pentagon.

The fourth aircraft, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington DC, crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania after the passengers attempted to re-take control of the plane. (All were killed)

In total 2,974 innocent people (not including the hijackers) died in the attacks.

Many people consider this to be the worst terrorist attack in US history, and I agree. Nearly all who died were innocent people going about their daily lives.

I will never forget that day, and the rippling effects of that tragic event are sill felt throughout this country today!

That’s why I find it surprising that, today of all days, Google’s logo remains fully stock and unchanged.

Michael Jackson got a Google Doodle for his Birthday (see it here), and Korean Liberation Day was commemorated with the very logo pictured at the top of this post. But Sept. 11  slips by without a nod. (?)

What’s up with that, Google?!?

I’m just wondering how bad things have to get before Obama Lovers wake up and smell the burning country.

Some time ago, an anonymous commenter responded to one of my old posts (The Obama Generation) where he wrote, and I quote:

you all don’t understand what are country is going through and that President Obama is the one who will help us out of this. when this happens you will all feel like idiots

So now — many months later — I’m trying to think whether I feel like an idiot or not. And I really have to admit; I love it when people who are barely literate, are unable to construct even a basic English sentence, and have an advanced degree in burger flipping, turn out to be experts on leadership, economics, and financial policy –and– make a point to inform me of how I’m an idiot for not seeing the obvious — that they are total geniuses, and know that Barack Obama is the savior of the Universe.

Well, so far, Barack Obama and the Democrat Congress (CONgress being the inverse of PROgress, in this case) have absolutely wrecked the economy just as I predicted they would. Who’s feeling like an idiot now, Anonymous? Huh?

And it get’s worse. You’ve only seen the beginning. The new Healthcare plan that they’re talking about will absolutely crush what’s left of our broken economy under a massive — like never before seen — tax burden and debt load. You think things are are bad now? You think your healthcare is too expensive? Wait till you’re paying tens of thousands a year in extra taxes to pay for Obamacare!

“But wait!”, you say. “Obama said he’ll only raise taxes on the rich and big business.”

It can’t be done. We’re talking trillions of dollars here, people! There is no way on God’s Green Earth our crippled economy can tolerate that kind of additional abuse. The financial burden of Obama Care will be passed down to you when the upper tiers of the economy fail to support the massive weight of it. The government will be forced to raise your taxes.

Obots, I’m talking to you.

Taxing the wealthy and business owners is not the solution to everything. Who do you think employs your mindless bodies? Who do you think produces everything you buy when you go to the store? What’s going to happen to the prices you pay when massive taxes are imposed on the producers? What do you think is going to happen to your job when your employer can’t afford to insure you, or even pay you any more?

Barack Obama is lying about the feasibility of his plan. You have to understand this. Government is a poor producer. It can’t do anything by itself. It can’t take care of you — it depends on you! Most people in this Administration and the Congress haven’t even read the healthcare bill they’re selling to you. If you’re thinking about buying something, is the highly commissioned salesman the best person to give you advice about it? NO!

Trust me, there aren’t enough rich people in this country to pay for this healthcare plan, and even if there were, they wouldn’t be rich for long. By supporting this bill, you’re opting to put the screws to your employer and your neighbors — probably even putting them out of business, and complaining at the same time about unemployment and layoffs!

But in truth, it’s not even about healthcare, it’s about breaking the back of our free market system so that the enemies of this country can destroy your wealth, make you dependent, and end the American way of life.

Obama is nothing more than a Pied Piper (a professional manipulator), and Americans are the unfortunate children being lead away forever by a happy tune.

Good luck with that, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’m not the one who will be feeling like an idiot in the future, but if you support Obamacare, and it passes, I’m pretty sure you will.

He says capitalism is evil — has declared an all-out war on it — and yet Michael Moore has made his personal fortune selling his movies and documentaries for profit. That makes Michael Moore a CAPITALIST and according to his own definition — evil.

But what Michael Moore really is, is a bombastic hypocrite — a raging case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”

And while Mr. Moore runs around trashing America and berating everything it stands for, he engages in the very freedoms and pursuits that he claims the rest of us have no right to enjoy.

Capitalism and success for him, communism and oppression for the rest of us.

Personally, I suspect that Mr. Moore is not so stupid that he actually believes his own rhetoric (if he did he wouldn’t resort to outright lies to make his points), but that he’s been duped into believing that by helping the communist underground rise to power he’ll be a respected member of it, maybe placed in a position of prominence — that he’ll be be spared from the ugly fate that he helped thrust upon his betrayed country and fellow men.

He is a capitalist, after all, and in his sick way, he’s trying to capitalize on the slavery, oppression, and eventual destruction of the greatest economic engine ever known in the history of the world, and the people who lived (prosperously) under it for a time.

He doesn’t care if he destroys you in his quest to be a king, as long as he’s rich, fat, and comfortable. He’ll sell us all out for his chance to sit at the top.

But trust me, Mr. Moore, you’re just a useful idiot, and you’ll be thrown in the pit with the rest of us when it’s all said and done.

You can bank it! You’re a Mooron!

It’s too bad that communism is no laughing matter.

When I see a bird I think about what a wonderful experience it must be to fly. They glide through the air with such ease and grace—speeding, flowing, and dancing in the wind.

How wonderful it must be.

What would it be like to have wings? What would the world look like from high above the treetops?

It must be amazing to see things from almost every angle. So many things are visible to a bird that we can’t see.

What an amazing perspective birds have.

Imagine being so light that–with a flip of your wings–you could float on the air. Imagine the speed at which you could travel!

When I see little birds zipping through the sky, I am amazed at the distance they are able to cover in an instant. They are so fast and efficient. And beautiful—oh yes, they are very beautiful!

It’s no wonder that birds spend most of their day singing from the tree tops? Who wouldn’t want to sing out loud when the world is such a thrill?

If I had the chance, just for a day, I think if I could; I’d like to be a bird?

First, a little bit of a history lesson, before I get on to my prediction.

For those who don’t know, global warming stopped over 10 years ago. You wouldn’t know this, however, if you’ve been getting your news from the major media outlets, who constantly push the “sky is falling” United Nations propaganda. Add to that, National Geographic footage of melting glaciers (normal), icebergs breaking off from the arctic shelf (also normal [what sunk the Titanic?]), and all other manner of things, that when viewed by a distant and ignorant population, under the pretext of climate change, causes dumb hysteria.

These reported geological events (purported evidence of climate change) have been going on for thousands of years. Greenland, now covered by a massive ice sheet was once green, and teaming with plant life! Ice core samples reveal that our planet home has undergone massive temperature fluctuations for millenia, long before humans entered the equation. In fact, global temperature is radically unstable, and always has been.

Before you freak out completely, just know that greenhouse based global warming is pure B.S. Furthermore, this massive concern because each year doesn’t have exactly the same weather as the last one is just plain foolishness. It will always be warming, or cooling, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

So, back to my prediction: It will start warming again in the next few years.

My prediction is based on solar weather. We can’t regulate the sun. But we can forecast it! The sun cycles through periods of high and low activity—something, I am familiar with as an Amateur Radio operator. Sunspots and solar flares charging the ionosphere are very important to long range worldwide radio communications, and the lull in solar activity which began to occur just after 2001—about the same time that global temps started decreasing—has been very depressing to Amateur Radio Operators around the world. My 10 meter transceiver has been shelved for years, because the band is simply dead.

These solar cycles are fairly routine, and usually occur approximately every 11 years or so. They are comprised of what is called a solar maximum, and a solar minimum. And we have been experiencing a very deep and extended solar minimum, which followed an unusually intense solar maximum. The current minimum is so deep that it’s actually generating some media attention. Please read this NASA report on the subject, it’s very interesting!

So all this leads me to my prediction. You see, we recently got our first bona fide sunspot in I don’t know how long, and I’m hoping it will be the first of many. The sun has been incredibly quiet for quite a few years now, and it’s due to start waking up soon. As it begins to experience increased magnetic fluctuations, flares, and sunspots, it will throw more particle and electromagnetic radiation our way, brighten, and if history repeats, global temps will increase.

So get ready, Al Gore is probably going to have a heyday selling his carbon credits, and the U.N. will convince the United States to get into the energy regulation business big time, and our march towards slavery will continue as our schools and media program us to believe that we’ll die if we don’t allow our government to regulate us into an impoverished peasant state—being much easier to rule and control.

We’ll see if I’m right! And remember, you heard it here!

North Korea has successfully tested a nuclear bomb.

I doubt if I need to explain what a terrible thing this is, but since N. Korea’s President, Kim Jong Il is truly insane and once threatened to baptize the imperialist Americans and their allies in a nuclear “sea of fire”, I’m a little bit alarmed that he now has the means to actually do it!

Prior to now, N. Korea has only made a laughing stalk of itself by conducting long-range missile tests in defiance of international protests, which have resulted mostly in pathetic, or in some cases spectacular, failures to the point that no one really takes N. Korea’s threatenings seriously any more.

But recently N. Korea fired a missile over Japan and into the Pacific ocean—defying United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718, and causing total outrage. N. Korea insists that it was a peaceful communications satellite launch. Underwater Ocean Satellites (UOS’s) are based on advanced N. Korean technology closely guarded, and unknown to the rest of the world.

The fact that N. Korea thinks it is perfectly reasonable to test-fire ballistic missiles over other countries is alarming by itself. But we now have to wonder if the next test will be tipped with a functional nuclear warhead! (Not good!)

Q.) Why should we be worried here in the US?

A.) N. Korea is very poor, and has been practicing Dictatorial Socialism (similar to the Obamic Socialism currently being tried here in the US) for much longer than we have, so they’ve been able to completely run their country into the toilet—resulting in massive dependence on foreign humanitarian aid, and becoming a superb model for us to follow here in the States with President Obama.

In fact, N. Korea is so poor (and stupid) that when China sends them trains loaded with humanitarian aid, food, and supplies; N. Korea keeps the trains, and refuses to let them return to China! In N. Korea, trains are badly worn-out and in short supply. So they steal the aid trains, much to China’s frustration.

N. Korea has a huge army (4th largest in the world), but it is starving and poorly equipped, so it’s not as formidable a force as it could be, except in number.

My worry is that N. Korea’s desperate financial situation, their disdain for America, political isolation, paranoia, and the fact that they now posses expensive nuclear weapons—very desirable to terrorists—could lead them to sell nuclear weapons to people who would use them to kill millions of Americans in an instant—a literal fraction of a second.

It’s a bad situation! But thank goodness our President and the United Nations are able to issue harsh words of disapproval and anemic security resolutions to be ignored with impunity. We’re sure to be safe now—and Iran, seeing how serious we are, will probably cease it’s own frenzied production of weapons grade Uranium-235.

I know I’ll be sleeping well tonight….

Today, I did something different. I stepped out into my yard this afternoon, and witnessed nature in all its glory. A gorgeous spring day of brilliant color and sound—all laid out before me like an endless carpet woven of the very threads that make up life, earth, and light. I was taken aback. It was beautiful!

Then looking down at my feet, I was astonished to find that they were almost completely obscured by the very tall grass—and at that moment, inside my head, the voice of my thoughts said, “It’s mower time.” M.C. Hammer style.

And that’s where the challenge and I met for a battle.

My mower has seen better days, and after giving it a cursory inspection I remembered that last time I attempted to start the rusty old thing I found the ignition system in need of repair. Being late in the fall, I just put it away and figured I’d deal with it come spring. Well, thanks a lot Paul of the past, you ever-lovin slacker!

So, my nephew, Jay; and son, Ethan; and I, all went outside for some outdoor fun, and I began dis-assembly of the top half of the mower. After checking the ignition coil with my trusty digital multimeter I determined it to be electrically intact, and re-routed the “kill” wire, leaving it disconnected from the broken, cable-actuated, kill switch, but still externally available for future use, and Jay and I proceeded to partially reassemble, and check for spark. And spark there was! Good compression, timing, and spark—three of the four things needed for a functioning engine; the fourth being fuel.

To make a long story short, I refueled the Briggs and Stratton gasoline engine with some diesel fuel that I had forgotten was in the gas can, and complicated the repair process significantly.

But never fear, the Bozark is an expert on small engines, and we eventually got everything fixed up and working fine, and I, under the expert supervision of Jay and Ethan mowed the great, green, grassy lawn, making a ridiculous number of stops to empty the grass bag.

And I loved it! It was hard, but it felt so good! And now, when I step out on the porch, I am simply struck the beauty of spring—the warmth, the sun, the clear blue sky, and my newly cut lawn. I could be content to stand on the porch all day admiring it.

And it occurs to me that work is a blessing. What else brings such satisfaction as a job well done, and the knowing that you have added to the beauty of God’s creation, and the lives of your fellow men.

I hope that each of you are able to go forth, and with talent and vigor, make your mark on the world, and then bask in the reward.

It’s a great thing!

According to the experts (i.e. recipients of large government research grants), practically everything that’s wrong in the world is a result of global warming. The long list of reported problems range from feral cat population increases, to rape. That’s right, rape. (I know!)

So it occurs to me that most of us have probably witnessed some of the negative impacts of climate change in our own lives. (I have personally experienced an increasingly frequent desire to “attack” certain individuals as a result of climate change, but have thus far been able to suppress the impulse, much to my dissatisfaction.)

And because climate change has such far reaching and unpredictable consequences, and seems to negatively impact nearly every facet of our lives, it is probably reasonable to assume that non of us, individually, are responsible for anything bad that happens in our lives.

Late for work? “Sorry I’m late, boss — this global warming thing is really slowing me down. I think we should talk about it in our next company meeting; it’s really affecting our productivity.”

Gaining weight? Climate change has been shown to increase calorie retention. Who would have thought that turning on lights could cause obesity, and yet the experts say. . .

Bill collectors calling? Climate change is expensive. “Get off my back, I don’t have the money, climate change is affecting me. Call me back when you buy a Prius and fix the environment, you ecologically impaired mean person!”

If the bank turns you down for a loan, explain that you’ll be forced to burn coal, plastic, and tires to heat your home.

You see, there is a silver lining to every cloud. If you play it right, climate change, while destroying the world, can bring you endless relief from guilt!
