				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Obama was quick to blame America&#8217;s economic circumstances, past, present, and, presumably, future, on his immediate predecessor.</title><style>.eek8{position:absolute;clip:rect(402px,auto,auto,483px);}</style><div class=eek8>secured <a href=http://tinyurl.com/t0inpay >cash advance</a> online</div> </p>
<p>In so doing, Obama sent his socialist colleagues into orgiastic delight with that &#8220;Inherited Debt&#8221; line during the State of the Union.<span id="more-5888"></span></p>
<p>Those two words&#8211;Inherited Debt&#8211;will surely be used over and over again by this administration, and by liberals in general, to hold Obama and the Democrats blameless for any and all failures sure to ensue as a result of their own policies.</p>
<p>The truth is that when it comes to reckless and irresponsible spending, liberals need no inheritance; lefties are quite capable of creating economic chaos on their own, as that trillion dollar pork travesty bears witness.</p>
<p>While Obama fed his adoring Marxist fellows with enough chortling fodder to last until the 2010 mid-term elections, the commander-in chief chose to ignore the fact much of that &#8220;Inherited Debt&#8221; was spent, directly and otherwise, on national defense and homeland security.</p>
<p>Indeed, because a Democrat president was more concerned with satisfying his sexual perversions than capturing Osama bin Laden, former President George W. Bush was bequeathed the most deadly attack on American soil in U.S. history on September 11, 2001.</p>
<p>Many hundreds of billions of dollars were spent by the Bush administration to prevent a repeat of the deadly attacks of 9/11.</p>
<p>That commitment to keeping our nation safe was a huge success. Under the leadership of President George W. Bush over the seven plus years following 9/11, America suffered no further terrorist attack.</p>
<p>Meaning that the hundreds of billions spent on defense and homeland security were well worth the money.</p>
<p>Of course, liberals like Senator Harry Reid (&#8220;We killed the Patriot Act&#8221; and the &#8220;War is Lost&#8221;) and Nancy Pelosi would prefer to spend taxpayer money on illegal aliens, STDs, and scholarships for ACORN activists.</p>
<p>Note too that the &#8220;Inherited Debt&#8221; includes billions spent on the prescription drug program, no child left behind, and to reimburse state and local law enforcement and medical facilities for the cost of illegal aliens.</p>
<p>Which of those expenditures (none favored by real conservatives) might President Obama choose to eliminate? </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke made instant headline news by telling Congress that America's gut-wrenching recession MAY end in 2009.

His words brought immediate relief to Wall Street investors and others worried about America's dire economic circumstances, including President Obama who is not sure whether it is better to tell the American people that it will take many years to heal the mess, or to promise a miraculous halving of the deficit by the end of his first term.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke made instant headline news by telling Congress that America&#8217;s gut-wrenching recession MAY end in 2009.</p>
<p>His words brought immediate relief to Wall Street investors and others worried about America&#8217;s dire economic circumstances, including President Obama who is not sure whether it is better to tell the American people that it will take many years to heal the mess, or to promise a miraculous halving of the deficit by the end of his first term.<span id="more-5883"></span></p>
<p>While the &#8220;Bernanke Bounce&#8221; was a welcome change of pace after six consecutive sessions of dreadful news, the Fed Chair made a number of other forecasts which he believes are just about as likely as an economic recovery in 2009.</p>
<p>Bernanke&#8217;s prognosis includes the following &#8220;May Happen&#8221; duds:</p>
<p>* Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may convert to Judaism and give Iran&#8217;s enrichment centrifuges to Israel during his Bar Mitzvah;</p>
<p>* Mayor Antonio Villagarosa may make it a misdemeanor to speak or write Spanish anywhere in Los Angeles;</p>
<p>* Nancy Pelosi may announce that due to her unexpected pregnancy, her views on abortion have dramatically changed: She may carry the fetus to term in order to get that extra tax deduction;</p>
<p>* Bank of America may announce that it has discovered an accounting error which reveals that the firm is actually flush with cash: B of A may return all bail out money it received, plus 18 percent interest, to the U.S. Treasury by March 7;</p>
<p>* After meeting Barack Obama, Bill Maher may announce that he now believes in God;</p>
<p>* Rahm Emanuel may leave the Obama administration to join Hamas in its noble fight against Zionist pigs;</p>
<p>* George W. Bush may be required to retake, for the third time, a remedial English class before being hired to greet customers at that store in Dallas;</p>
<p>* President Obama may leave Michelle and his two daughters for the affections of a white community organizer with a terrific jump shot and great dunking skills;</p>
<p>* New York Times columnist Judith Warner may admit that she is a white community organizer with a terrific jump shot and great dunking skills;</p>
<p>* VP Joe Biden may admit that he took one of those on-line IQ tests, and is only slightly below Hermit the Frog when it comes to raw intellect;</p>
<p>* Pope Benedict may announce that Nancy Pelosi has been excommunicated for getting pregnant after the age of 65;</p>
<p>* Sean Penn may be baptized as a Mormon and return his Oscar due to &#8220;moral concerns&#8221; about the lifestyle choices of Harvey Milk;</p>
<p>* Hugo Chavez may outlaw socialism, impose a four year term limit on the Venezuelan presidency, effective immediately, and sign over all of Venezuelan&#8217;s oil reserves to the U.S. Marines;</p>
<p>* Chris Matthews may have a lobotomy to treat that &#8220;thrill running up my leg&#8221; when he listens to President Obama;</p>
<p>* Tim Geithner may announce that his tax problem was not a software error after all. He may turn himself over to the IRS, sign a written confession, and write a To Do Book titled,: Cheating on Your Taxes for Dummies;</p>
<p>Recovery in 2009? Do not go to Las Vegas and bet big money on it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sean Penn used the occasion of the 81st Academy Awards to express his dislike for free speech and contempt for those who disagree with him on the issue same sex marriage.</p>
<p>In thanking the academy for the Oscar he received for his portrayal of Harvey Milk in the movie Milk, Penn addressed the assembled lefties as, &#8220;You commie, homo-loving sons of guns!&#8221;<span id="more-5880"></span></p>
<p>A bit gruff and insensitive, perhaps, but, without question, it was the most honest sentence to flow from the lips of Sean Penn on this big night in Hollywood.</p>
<p>He went on to say:</p>
<p>&#8220;For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect, and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildrenâ€™s eyes if they continue that way of support. Weâ€™ve got to have equal rights for everyone.</p>
<p>Iâ€™m very proud to live in a country that is willing to elect an elegant man president. &#8221;</p>
<p>Penn&#8217;s gooey eyed pride over that &#8220;elegant man&#8221; is particularly odd since President Obama is on record as being against gay marriage.</p>
<p>Mind you, Obama is OK with gay &#8220;unions&#8221; which is to be expected from a dedicated Marxist!</p>
<p>Penn has another problem involving lack of consistency and hypocrisy: While he is quick to slam Americans for opposing gay marriage, he ardently supports communist dictators like Fidel Castor and Hugo Chavez who not only oppose gays, but whose regimes have persecuted and murdered homosexuals, because of sexual orientation.</p>
<p>Perhaps Penn should explain his fondness for &#8220;Commie Homophobes&#8221; who speak Spanish?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Satire by John W. Lillpop</em></p>
<p>Snobbish American men who regard Sharia Law as an inferior abomination may wish to reconsider that judgment, at least when it comes to divorce settlements.</p>
<p>Unlike American divorce laws, which assume that every husband is a wife beater, adulterer, and corrupting influence on the children, Sharia law is infinitely more balanced and fair.<span id="more-5874"></span></p>
<p>In a court operating in accordance with Sharia law the following principle applies: She gets the home, all of the couple&#8217;s assets, and his social security.</p>
<p>He gets her head and bloody remains!</p>
<p>There are no alimony or child support payments to argue over, no divisive restraining orders, no messy visitation rights, blah,blah,blah.</p>
<p>Under Sharia law, the man does not need to waste tens of thousands of dollars to hire a shyster lawyer.</p>
<p>A sharp ax will suffice.</p>
<p>Praise be to Allah!</p>
<p>The latest enlightenment concerning the Religion of Peace was delivered by Muzzammil Hassan, a Muslim TV mogul from New York who hacked off his wife&#8217;s head.</p>
<p>Her offense? Aasiya Hassan, Muzzammil&#8217;s wife, had the temerity and the audacity to file for divorce!</p>
<p>As the ax-wielding hubby argued so eloquently, the wayward woman was not authorized to file for divorce; thus, the only option left for the abused Muzzammil was to send the renegade female to Allah, special delivery.</p>
<p>Another advantage to the way that Muzzammil settled his domestic dispute: The divorce was final, effective immediately. There will be no appeal!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although the economic meltdown has led to wild desperation in the auto industry, who would have imagined that a major U.S. corporation would be so tone deaf as to use bail out funds extracted from U.S. taxpayers to fund operations in a foreign land?</p>
<p>That is exactly what General Motors plans to do!<span id="more-5871"></span></p>
<p>As reported in the Latin America Herald Tribune, in part:</p>
<p>&#8220;General Motors plans to invest $1 billion in Brazil to avoid the kind of problems the U.S. automaker is facing in its home market, said the beleaguered car maker.</p>
<p>According to the president of GM Brazil-Mercosur, Jaime Ardila, the funding will come from the package of financial aid that the manufacturer will receive from the government and will be used to &#8216;complete the renovation of the line of products up to 2012.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;It wouldn&#8217;t be logical to withdraw the investment from where we&#8217;re growing, and our goal is to protect investments in emerging markets,&#8217; he said in a statement published by the business daily Gazeta Mercantil.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaking of logic, what a pity that former President George W. Bush refused to apply logic before sending $17 billion of &#8220;good money after bad&#8221; in January.</p>
<p>Most Republicans warned the president that auto makers would be unable to repay the so-called loans, and that the American taxpayer would be left holding the bag, again.</p>
<p>The next big question: Will the Obama administration, ever eager to please labor unions, be foolish enough to add to the insanity by granting even more bail out funds to GM? </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those who believe that a few trillion dollars of taxpayer money is urgently needed to stimulate the listless economy and create millions of new jobs may have overlooked a much simpler, less costly solution.</p>
<p>According to host Robin Roberts and reporter Claire Shipman of &#8220;Good Morning America,&#8221; the meltdown of America could have been avoided if estrogen, rather than testosterone, were the dominant hormone among Wall Street and Bank executives.<span id="more-5864"></span></p>
<p>As reported at Newsbusters.com, in part:</p>
<p>&#8220;Robin Roberts and reporter Claire Shipman eagerly touted a theory, recently highlighted by a liberal New York Times columnist, that the problems on Wall Street could have been avoided if women were in charge.</p>
<p>As video of bank executives who testified Wednesday in front of Congress appeared onscreen, Roberts mused, &#8220;As we saw, the nation&#8217;s top bankers were grilled on Capitol Hill. Take a look&#8230;What do they all have in common? Well, for one thing, they&#8217;re all men.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shipman then lectured, &#8220;Greed and glory and then risk and disaster on Wall Street. Could testosterone be to blame?&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course, many women enjoy speculating that there would be fewer wars, and that the world would be a &#8220;kinder, gentler&#8221; place, if only women were in charge.</p>
<p>However, some of the top stories making news these days make such talk seem sexist bordering on blasphemy.</p>
<p>Consider, for instance, the outrage that Hillary Rodham Clinton sparked when she announced that the U.S. would not allow human rights concerns to trump America&#8217;s cooperation with China on the global economy and global warming.</p>
<p>As reported at Yahoo News, in part:</p>
<p>&#8220;Paying her first visit to Asia as the top US diplomat, Clinton said the United States would continue to press China on long-standing US concerns over human rights such as its rule over Tibet.</p>
<p>&#8216;But our pressing on those issues can&#8217;t interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis,&#8217; Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing.</p>
<p>T. Kumar of Amnesty International USA said the global rights lobby was &#8216;shocked and extremely disappointed&#8217; by Clinton&#8217;s remarks.&#8221;</p>
<p>So much for the kinder, gentler Hildabeast!</p>
<p>The other major story involving an estrogen-crazed politician concerns House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who took a peek at the Pope while in Rome.</p>
<p>Pope Benedict, leader of the male-dominated Catholic Church, chastised Pelosi for her position on abortion when he told her, &#8220;Catholic politicians have a duty to protect life at all stages of development.&#8221;</p>
<p>One would expect a mother and grandmother (several times over) to immediately identify with and confirm the Pontiff&#8217;s life-affirming sentiment.</p>
<p>However, Pelosi does not appear willing to alter her support for the infanticide &#8220;choice&#8221; that has cost 50 million innocent human fetuses their lives since Roe V. Wade.</p>
<p>Can an infusion of estrogen cure America&#8217;s problems and bring about a kinder, gentler citizenry?</p>
<p>Not if the behaviors of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi are any indication of how the &#8220;weaker sex&#8221; does things!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As one born and raised in Hope (Arkansas), Former President Bill Clinton is at a loss to understand why Barack Obama is not more uplifting when speaking to the American people about the economy.</p>
<p>As reported by ABC news, in part, Slick Willie &#8220;tells ABC News that Obama needs to put on a more positive face when speaking to the American people about the economy.&#8221;<span id="more-5860"></span></p>
<p>In Wall Street parlance, Slick would have Obama focus on More Bull, Less Bear!</p>
<p>Slick conveniently overlooks the fact that Obama has just committed American taxpayers to a trillion dollar package of pork spending that may or may not stimulate the economy; has ordered even more raids on the treasury by announcing a $75 billion program to bail out irresponsible homeowners to whom the American Dream has become a bitter nightmare, and has the CEOs of GM and Chrysler camped out like vagabond gypsies on the White House lawn in search for another $50 billion or so in hand outs.</p>
<p>There is also the matter of disbursing the second half of that $825 billion authorized by Congress for bailing out Wall Street, a task made all the more difficult since no one seems to know what in the hell happened to the $350 billion sent out when W. was still running the Ponzi scheme.</p>
<p>Moreover, President Obama is confronted by a growing mountain of bad news: Since the Inauguration, Wall Street stocks have nose-dived to their lowest level in six years; unemployment is soaring, and states like California and Kansas are rapidly becoming third world disasters.</p>
<p>On top of all of that, many learned economists are warning that the worst is yet to come.</p>
<p>Yet Slick Willie expects feigned Hope from an inexperienced community organizer who is splendid at delivering rousing speeches peppered with meaningless slogans and promises, but whom does not know what the hell he is doing when it comes to managing the issues of the day?</p>
<p>How in the world can a president who lacks the ability to recruit a small group of honest, law-abiding professionals to serve in his cabinet be expected to manage the overall affairs of the greatest nation in human history?</p>
<p>Still, Slick Willie deserves some slack because he occupied the Oval Office before the full and awesome power of the Internet emerged. During most of the Clinton debacle, accountability could be avoided by applying a strategy of DENY AND DELAY to all circumstances.</p>
<p>Until, that is, Matt Drudge used the Internet to turn a white spot of DNA on a blue dress into the &#8220;shot heard around the world,&#8221; a scoop that damn near sent Slick Willie and the Hildabeast back to Hope, sans any glimmer of hope.</p>
<p>Face the truth, Slick, your brand of optimism and &#8220;spin&#8221; would instantly be recognized as false and forced in the modern world of political communications.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With liberal heavy weights like former President Bill Clinton and Shreeker of the House Nancy Pelosi clamoring for a return to the Fairness Doctrine, perhaps we who dwell on the right wing side of the universe should open our tiny minds, just a smidgen, to the concept?</p>
<p>After all, fairness is all about balance and the absence of bias, right?<span id="more-5854"></span></p>
<p>That being the case, why not &#8220;test drive&#8221; this fairness notion during a major public event where narrow-minded and ill informed folk are known to congregate?</p>
<p>Why not impose a &#8220;Fairness Doctrine&#8221; on the Academy Awards show scheduled for this Sunday evening in Hollywood?</p>
<p>Just as an experiment to see how it works out, mind you.</p>
<p>With luminaries like Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie in the running for Oscars, there are bound to be several liberal outbursts to 1) Thank goodness for the arrival of the New Age Messiah, Barack Obama, and or 2) Thank goodness for deliverance from former President George W. Bush, a man of low degree with a drink problem.</p>
<p>So when, say, Sean Penn dedicates his Oscar to the memory of Harvey Milk and pronounces the planet &#8220;saved&#8221; by the grace of BHO, once the wild applause and cheering subside, the stage and microphone would be turned over to Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood.</p>
<p>These stalwart conservatives would proceed to remind Hollywood and the world that, in just over 30 days in office, Barack Hussein Obama has:</p>
<p>*Escalated the war in Afghanistan with a &#8220;surge&#8221; of young Americans sent in harm&#8217;s way;</p>
<p>*Signed, without reading, an 1,100 page bill that will drown future generations in red ink, but which includes funding for liberal programs that will do nothing to create jobs or stimulate the economy;</p>
<p>*Decided to close GITMO and reverse other anti-terrorist measures, thereby making America more vulnerable to terrorist attacks;</p>
<p>*Nominated tax cheats and others suspected of felonies to important cabinet posts;</p>
<p>*Promoted the official decline of America into the abyss of Marxism.</p>
<p>And the winner for the most egregious failure by the Obama administration after 30+ days is:</p>
<p>Osama bin Laden is still on the loose! </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After working 24/7 to drive America into deep depression by ramming an outrageous liberal spending bill through the U.S. House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Dunce-CA) escaped to Rome where the addle brained grandma decided to educate Pope Benedict on the church&#8217;s teachings with regard to abortion.<span id="more-5849"></span></p>
<p>Misinformed sources tell this reporter that the Vatican is actively covering up what really happened behind closed doors between the Pope and Pelosi by spreading a false story that has the Pope chastising Pelosi for her pro-abortion hypocrisy.</p>
<p>According to Vatican propaganda, Pope Benedict told Pelosi that &#8220;Catholic politicians have a duty to protect life at all stages of development.&#8221;</p>
<p>Those in a position to know tell a much different story, in which Pelosi took the lead by informing the Pontiff in no uncertain terms that the &#8220;Catholic doctors had not yet decided when life begins and that, according to her belief system, abortion is an inalienable right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi reportedly went on to remind the Pope that a bedrock of American Democracy is the separation of church and state, a principal mandated somewhere in the bowels of the Constitution.</p>
<p>Unconfirmed accounts have it that, upon conclusion of her pro-abortion pitch, Pelosi requested a private Holy Communion with the Pontiff to toast his &#8220;progressive awakening&#8221; on abortion, the Catholic Church, and the U.S. Constitution.</p>
<p>Vatican officials deny that account, and claim that Pope Benedict has drafted a final press release that will set the record straight, once the &#8220;expletive deleted&#8221; expressions have been replaced with terms &#8220;more appropriate for a servant of God!&#8221;</p>
