Houses falling apart
Florida recipients of housing by way of “Habitat for Humanity”, spearheaded by past President Jimmy Carter, are complaining that their houses are falling apart. A group of 85 houses in Fairway Oaks was built in 17 days and was bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities. Complaints vary from building on trash piles to constant health problems to shoddy workmanship. So now we have a group that received homes for free which didn’t have to acquire sub-prime loans, that have one thing in common……..Jimmy Carter!, Maybe Hamas will contact him for new homes.

No income problems here
For the fifth year in a row, Congress chose to not reject their pay raises, before that they did. If you want a raise in Congress, you don’t need to ask your boss, you just vote yourself a raise. Not only do you give yourself a raise but you can only deny it by voting to deny it. Never mind that your approval rating hovers around 15%, never mind you spend money like drunken sailors, never mind that pass a new resolution that basically eliminates the minority party’s vote.


Geithner’s tax problems
The Democrats consider Obama’s pick for Treasury Secretary, as having “small bumps that can be overcome.” This comes on the announcement that Timothy Geithner owes some $34,000 in back Federal Taxes, from hiring a household employee. Of course shortly after being named by Obama, he paid $43,000 in back taxes and penalties. The very fact that he knew about these past taxes since 2001, but waited until now to pay them speaks volumes about everyone who surrounds Obama. Why should this information make a difference in the appointment of the man who would oversee the IRS? Harry Reid defended him, but he believes that income taxes are voluntary! What could possibly go wrong there? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7mRSI8yWwg

Carol Browner: Socialist
Carol Browner was reportedly listed on the Socialist International website. The website listed 14 people as being on the board of directors. The group’s goal is world governance as far as global warming is concerned. Until recently Carol Browner’s name appeared as being a board member, is has now been removed from the site. Although she has withdrawn herself from Socialist International, I’m sure her loyalty to the group is still strong, and no members of the Congress even get to vote on her appointment, as she is declared by the Obama camp as basically a liason to the EPA, hence (climate czar). One has to wonder if she will use the typical Obama statement……….. ”I barely knew them, those socialists are a crazy bunch.”



Another Fruitloop Mayor
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Mayor has in a “look at me ploy” changed his name from Mayor Ravenstahl to Mayor Steelerstahl, previous to the AFC Championship Game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I suppose it isn’t as bad as selling a senate seat, but it’s certainly a grandstand move. His family must be soooooooo proud!


With fava beans and a rich bottle of Chianti
Dr. Richard Batista donated part of his liver to his wife Dawnell, hoping to revive his ailing marriage. She recovered and went on to earn a master's degree in nursing and pursued a black belt in karate. Unfortunately, she injured herself in the latter endeavor, which led to physical therapy, and a subsequent affair with her therapist. Dr. Batista, apparently, is seeking to use the kidney as a wedge to ensure that he gets access to his children. He is seeking 1.5 million for his displaced liver, and assured access to his children…..giving all new meaning to “an arm and a leg”




Obama promises to recycle
The Obama camp promises to recycle the during whole day of Inaugurtion by collecting trash along the parade route. He will enter on a carpet of recycled products, and even save the waste from the police horses to use at a later date in Congress.




The continuing saga of Governor Blagojevich
It was rather ironic today that Governor Rod Balgojevic swore in his new state senators and congress, the very people that will vote on his final impeachment, talk about hiring your “executioners.”
