… even without Botox.

I have met some pretty unsavory people in my life but this women takes the cake. No matter how much she professes “its for the people” the more she proves by her actions it is not.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t give a rat’s ass about “the people”. Everything she does in Washington is about “her” and her party.

Now she’s claiming affinity with the tea party people.   Nancy – these are the same people you claimed (without facts) they were carrying swastika’s and were inciting violence.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy – we see through your botoxed facade and call your bluff.

You’re draining the swamp has done nothing but back it up with more putrid rotten political flesh than any other Speaker of the House. Your staunch support of the vile Barney Frank is just one example. Your actions, or in-actions, speak louder than words and your words no longer have weight with the American People.

The main-stream, lame, media can try and paint you with a rose-colored brush, but we smell the rottenness of your words and deeds through it all.

We are not fooled Nancy. Oh you may keep your Senate seat because we all know the land of fruit, nuts and flakes are progressive to the point of communism and will keep reelecting their favorite flake. BUT – after November 2010 – you will no longer have the window office in the corner that reads “Speaker of the House” over the door. No, hopefully they will remodel some broom closet in the basement near the boiler room for you next stint in congress.

Nancy – you play a good game of poker. But then I would be able to hold a straight face too if I had it tightened up with a botulism toxin daily.

Welcome to the weekend. Been a long time since I sat down and did a weekend wrap.

After this week’s dog and pony show in Washington I think it will be a very, very long time before this country elects an inexperienced junior senator from the State of Illinois to the presidency again.

Arrogance on display at its finest.  “I’m the President”.  Yeah, we know that Obama. We are reminded every day the unemployment rate goes up, every time you bash Vegas, every time you stand in front of your TOTUS in front of six-graders, and etc.

President Barack Obama’s Blair House health care summit was billed as political theater — but it was so dull in parts, it’s hard to imagine anyone would demand a repeat performance.

And boring never looked so beautiful to House and Senate Republicans.

Seven thick hours of substantive policy discussion, preening and low-grade political clashes had Hill staffers nodding at their desks, policy mavens buzzing — and participants declaring the marathon C-SPAN-broadcast session a draw.

But in this case, the tie goes to Republicans, according to operatives on both sides of the aisle — because the stakes were so much higher for Democrats trying to build their case for ramming reform through using a 51-vote reconciliation tactic.

I couldn’t listen to it because I was at work, but man was twitter burning up with what was going on!!! Then Rush hit the airways at noon and from there I heard all the high and low parts. Obama’s snarky remark to John McCain about the campaign being over had me glad I wasn’t driving because I was laughing so hard at that statement I would have wrecked if not parked.   Sen. McCain said he was reminded of that every day.  Of course Obama thinks he’s some great professor and must “preach/teach” the masses what is and isn’t.  I really do believe this man thinks we are all a bunch of dumb brain dead idiots who need a King.   Not.So.Much.

The unemployment rate keeps rising (even after we were promised by King Obama that it wouldn’t go above 8% if we passed his stimulus package, but what’s a little lie between friends right?).  Sure, the O Administration can spin this and that number – mathematicians can make numbers do whatever the highest payer to them tells them to say.   No matter what report, or who, you listen to – the situation is bad and the O administration is making it worse.  Sure, extend unemployment payments to those that voted for you — keep them dependent on you O … maybe they will try and vote you back in office in 2012, but don’t go holding your breath.

Last Day of Work has put out Virtual Villagers – The Tree of Life.  The fourth in their series that I fell in love with a long time ago.  As I am typing this post, my little villagers are running around trying to clear rubble, build huts, and figure out how to safe the Tree of Life.

The SGM and I are finally fighting the last of the crud that attacked us about … oh … a month ago.  Everyone around us has been sick at some level or the other.  We’re tired of coughing, blowing our noses, etc.  He coughed so hard he threw his back and shoulder out!  Gal at work bruised her ribs from coughing.  This stuff was hard to get rid of, even with Z Packs of meds.   I hope everyone is well and if not, getting better.  Go to the doctor – get the meds you need.

Thanks for reading … comment if you like … but have a great day!  And weekend.

Should we thank our president for the new credit card laws?   Some of you may say “Heck yeah!”  But for those of us who have Citi Cards – ah, not so much.

Before I go any further, let me tell you this:  We have no credit card bills.  We paid them all off and left them.  Open credit to balance what we owe on the house we felt was a good thing.  It is, as we have an amazing credit score.

So we open the letter and learn we are going to be charged an annual fee of $60.  BUT – if we make at least  $2,400 in purchases throughout the year, we get our $60 back.  Now isn’t that special?  Spend $2,340 to get back $60?  I heard a report on Fox News this weekend this is one way credit card companies are going to recoup their losses from no longer being able to jack up interest rates on people.

We have no balance on our account, but we have to pay?

CNN Money titles their article this way:

Credit card relief is here, but watch out for new traps

Yeah think?

If you haven’t heard, big changes are here for the credit card industry. On Monday the CARD act goes into effect and consumers finally get some relief from such practices as “double-cycle billing” and arbitrary rate increases.

The new act, which was signed into law last May, promises consumers more transparency about their credit card bill. But cardholders still need to watch out for a whole new series of traps and tricks.

We’re closing our cards.

We’re just going to be screwed with not having an emergency card.

Thank you Barrack Obama.

Is it 2012 yet?

The SGM works with a fellow who is very liberal.

He is clear proof the place you get your information from, no matter how smart you claim to be, can show how stupid you really are.

He asked the SGM why the tea party people chose a sexual connotation for their group (ie: Tea Bagging – Google it). See, the anti-government taxing us to death movement chose the symbolism of the Boston Tea Party as their moniker. Keith “I think I’m important” Olberman from MessNBC is the one that brought up the sexual use of the word tea bagging to laugh at, or mock, the movement. The SGM straightened him out as to the non-sexual nature of the choice of the Boston Tea Party.

I shook my head at the whole thing. The liberal elites claim to be so smart, better educated than the rest of us, yet they don’t appear to have the good sense God gave a goose to figure out when someone is lying to them. As sheep being lead to the slaughter, the followers of Keith Olberman, Barrack Obama and their ilk supporters are really the most uneducated in what is going on in middle America.

They are those that don’t understand milk come from cows, not the grocery stores, and they are being duped by the White House and their media supporters each and every day.

Its very sad really. The SGM calls his co-worker the dumbest educated person he’s ever met.

I pity the liberal mind. What else can you do? They call us dumb, but they really are the dumber.

The tragedy that is Amy Bishop murdering three fellow teachers at the University of Alabama – Huntsville sounds like a lady that has serious rejection issues.

We may never learn why she murdered her brother, but it appears her attempts at retribution for crimes committed against her met with terrorist threats in one incidence, and of course murder in the last.

See – Amy Bishop was denied tenure at the University of Alabama “last year”.   This year, during a staff meeting she pulled out a gun and coldly shot three people to death.

An Alabama professor accused of shooting six colleagues was vocal in her resentment over being denied tenure and the looming loss of her teaching post, though relatives and students said she had never suggested she might become violent.
(Ala. Prof’s Family, Friends: No Hint of Violence via ABC News)

Of course I laugh at the statement she never suggested she might become violent because events in her past are obviously being ignored by her family.  I mean – how do you ignore a dead brother ala Bishop’s own hands on a shot-gun and then her fleeing the house, going to a car dealership and trying to steal a car?  Not violent?  Has marijuana become legal in Alabama and I wasn’t told about it, because these people are on drugs.

Oh and then there is the attempted bombing incident.

Investigators also revealed that seven years later, Bishop was the prime suspect in a 1993 mail bombing attempt on a Harvard Medical School professor. “I just feel angry,” LaTasha Davis, step-daughter of shooting victim Maria Davis, told “Good Morning America” today. “How did she even get a job working at the school when she had that type of background?”

Hello?  Does anyone else see the tendencies for violence I see?

… and its very interesting that Congressman Delahunt from the great blue state of Massachusetts (yes he’s a democrat) was the DA at the time Bishop was arrested.

Oh and there is more!!!

It should be noted that Amy Bishop’s mother was involved in local politics and member of the police personnel board at the time of the incident.

Stinks to high heaven of cover up and a personality disorder related to rejection issues.

Today, liberal psychologists implore parents and school administrators not to allow winners and losers in sports and grades are not to be doled out in red ink for fear of causing low self-esteem issues with the child.  The child never learns to lose and never learns rejection of being picked last for the dodge ball team.

When children, an adults, never learn how to deal with rejection – what happens?   Well I’m not going to say they go out and murder – but Amy Bishop has some clear issues with just what is being taught to our children in this day and age: you never lose or are rejected.

Amy Bishop needs professional help and probably needs to be locked up in an institution for the rest of her natural life.  But that won’t bring back three people or her brother.  This women should never have been teaching at a University, or anywhere, with her background of violence.   We can only hope that the University of Alabama tightens up their requirements for teachers within the school system after this debacle.
