Dirty Old Uncle Sam is a Glutton

1 comment

stimulus-signI wanted seconds on dinner, but Dirty Old Uncle Sam who was on his thirds told me I was being greedy.

Those Right Wing conservatives can see it from time to time.  Michelle Malkin put up a post about the Stimulus.

I saw some of those signs on the highway.  Every time I pass them I can’t help but think of how tight things have gotten with my wallet, and how with my cutting of spending Dirty Old Uncle Sam is just turning into a bigger glutton.  This “stimulus” has only made government wealthier, and grown government.  If we haven’t noticed, unemployment is still on the rise. How disconnected are these fools in congress and their mindless zombie hordes?

Then the Damn government didn’t have enough to do so they decided to attack easy bake ovens and put strict regulations on garage sales.  The Melrose Methodist Bazaar is coming up, I hope the ATF doesn’t decide to raid us Wacko style like David Koresh.

But wait that’s not all…

We have to be “Responsible” the government is saying.  The president and congress want to make it law that every citizen must pay and purchase services from large corporations. This is done out of compassion.  If the legislation for health care was about taking care of people why is it looking more and more like it’s something to benefit large corporations? The fox article  “Stephanopoulos points out Merriam-Webster definition of taxes to president in interview” shows us something more frightening than just tax.  It shows large corporations are gaining more power under Federal Impositions.  This is anything but capitalism.  This is Corporatism Gone Wild.tweed

What else is the government doing today?

The daily Kos has the day’s floor schedule found here.

Now we all know the debt is outrageous, and unheard of, but they won’t stop.  They are a great big broken machine moving forward pumping out more pouted bureaucracies and  sork infested tragedies that pass as law.  The greedy little piggies are just eating us to death.

They punish us for stealing and killing when stealing and killing is what keeps them in power, so does they hypocrisy of government really amaze you?

I’m just fed up with it all. Government is disgusting and gluttonous, sick, and vile.

For those who have shopped and dropped; A few suggestions for your holiday party and present planning this web site google gravity download

Chicago Sun-Times November 23, 2007 | Chris Whitehead Some of you have been out shopping since midnight, or 4 in the morning, or however early your store of choice decided to open today.

Not me. I’ve been studying up on holiday party plans. According to a Challenger, Gray & Christmas survey, 38 percent of companies are boosting their party budgets this year.

But 10 percent of those asked said their company never has a holiday party. We need to do something for you people.

If nothing else, you should go to www.generouspour.com.

Not only can you download a free special remix by Corinne Bailey Rae of “Like a Star,” but Clos du Bois Wines will donate $1 per download to Share Our Strength.

Elsewhere on the site, you can find out how to organize your own party — or a charitable fund-raiser — and find advice from six chefs, including Martial Noguier of OneSixtyblue.

His holiday recipe is for boneless bobwhite quail, which I haven’t seen at the grocery, but his music playlist is all Ray Charles, so he’s OK.

For more holiday suggestions, there’s even a downloadable Holiday Party Kit with lots of ideas.

EATING FOR CHARITY Another way to help people in need this year is to eat caramels. see here google gravity download

Specifically Das Caramelini from Das Foods, which will donate 10 percent of net profits from specially marked Caramelini to the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. “Caramels for Cure,” they’re calling it.

And Das Foods’ newest flavor will be rolled out at the World of Chocolate fund-raiser Thursday. How does “Chinese ‘Thinking’ Plum” sound?

THE THINGS WE PUT UP OUR NOSES A colleague spotted an ad for a prescription allergy medicine the other day and was intrigued by this warning: “How Veramyst works is not entirely understood.” How it’s spelled isn’t well understood, either, since you can find both Veramist and Veramyst when you Google it, but the packaging uses the Y.

It’s a nasal spray of something called fluticasone furoate, and no matter how it works, its maker wants you to know its side effects “include nosebleed or nasal sores. Nasal fungal infection, glaucoma, or cataracts may occur.” Makes that 4 a.m. shopping sound pleasant by comparison.

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON If you’re thinking of picking up one of those Japanese robots as a gift this year, it’s a good thing Hitachi’s EMIEW 2 isn’t on the market.

Hitachi showed it off this week, but heavy wireless network traffic interfered with the 31-inch-tall robot’s communication system, and it crashed into a desk during a press demonstration.

“We are studying what hurdles need to be overcome to make robots practical,” Hitachi researcher Takashi Teramoto told the Associated Press. “One characteristic we feel we need to ensure for robots is safety.” NO JOKES ABOUT BOWL GAMES OK, so the robot’s out. How about the improved Johnny Light? It used to have a mercury switch, but now it has a gravity switch — kinder to the environment.

The Johnny Light is a gizmo that attaches to toilets and flashes a green light in the bowl when the seat is up. The idea is that nobody is unpleasantly surprised in the dark.

“And since it is entirely portable, it’s great for travel — just slide out the batteries.” As if the rest of the world didn’t already think Americans are crazy.

    When I saw one of those signs first pop up on one of our highways, I decided that was the moment when America as I knew it, was over.
