Michelle Spent $10M/Yr On Personal Vacations

Posted By Rod Kaufman

This stuff has been debunked before and I'm not surprised the daily mangle, as its known in the UK, quotes some unidentified "white house sources" for this stuff.

NYPD/CIA :Human Mapping/Mosque Crawlers

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Look, they're just calling it human mapping when its racial profiling and informants who scour the walls of Mosques as if there's some reason to do so:

Plus, they're apparently circumventing civil liberty laws and the ACLU and, apparently, CAIR!
What kind of law enforcement do we got out there in the big apple anyway?
Rakers?!(Sounds like some kind of a basketball team).

Obama's 'Job Speech' this Thursday

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Darian, speaking of crap, have you read the GOP candidate's jobs generators? Obviously not.
It's like Darian and the rest of the Snopeheads in the forum to prejudge anything Obama might do or say, even before it happens. It's axiomatic and fundamental to their way of "thinking."
That said, let's look at the GOP candidates and their job plans, only hurriedly announced and formulated when they learned of Obama's upcoming speech.
First, Huntsman. What a gem! He wants to do way with the Frank-Dodd act which was enacted after wallstreet went wild under Bush and got us into the mess that we're in today. If that's not enough he also wants to eliminate the Sarbanes-Oxley reform act enacted under Bush to stop the Enron accounting abuses so the books couldn't be cooked. Anyone for a repeat?
Second, Palin. I know, I know, she hasn't announced but she has now announced the Palin "Five Point Plan". Let's look at the cute little bugger. 1. Drill baby drill. Really, do we have to go through that one, again? 2. Deregulate. Really, deregulate what? I guess we'll have to wait until she announces to find out. 3. Tax reform. Sounds good but for whom? 4. Eliminate ALL corporate taxes! Better get on the bandwagon and form your own corporation!!! 5. Repeal the healthcare act. Hey, all the GOP candidates have that in "their" plan!
Third, Bachmann. In addition to signaling her receptivity for reducing the federal minimum wage standard, she now offers the following: 1. "Repatriate" any money American corporations make overseas by eliminating any taxes they pay on it. That ought to make them come back to America and do their business here, don't you think? 2. Stopped the $2.00/gallon gas baloney and now has her own unspecified version of drill baby drill.
Fourth, Perry. Since he really hasn't debated anyone and he's been in seclusion with evangelicals, we really don't know how he's planning on spreading minimum wage jobs throughout the country. Apparently his ideas haven't been blessed yet.
Fifth, Romney. He will reportedly announce his plan on Tuesday. If it's anything like his other "stands" on the issues, we will never know what he means, say, or does...

Lone Wolf Terrorist Arrested

Posted By Rod Kaufman


A "lone wolf" terrorist was arrested today and it's being reported he was inspired by visiting a website known as "trueislam1". Can't the CIA hack that website and put up a picture of Mickey Mouse? Or, better yet, Porky Pig?(that would really piss 'em off). Our stuff in the government and military gets hacked so why don't we return the favor?
