And you want these clowns to run health care?
The latest on the "wildly popular" cash for clunkers program.................
Just like health care is supposed to be revenue neutral.

Auto makers will release their monthly sales reports Tuesday and they're expected to show the first year-to-year increase since 2007. While the Cash for Clunkers program is getting all the credit, local car dealers are still waiting for their cash.
During the month long program, Billion Automotive sold close to a thousand vehicles but has only been reimbursed for 272 of them. Vern Eide sold over 200 cars and has only been paid for 27 of them, and that's fueling lots of concerns in the auto industry.
Billion Automotive cashed in during Cash for Clunkers, but owner Dave Billion is still waiting for the rest of his money from the government run program, $3.2 million.
"I wonder how long they'd wait if I owed them $3.2 million. I think they'd be at my door or at least my banker's door," Billion said.
Even though Billion is beginning to get some of his reimbursement money, he's still concerned because he says there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the program.
When Cash for Clunkers was first announced, dealers were supposed to be reimbursed within 10 days of a sale. Billion says that hasn't happened.

democrats love taxes
Boy those democrats sure love taxes. Well, except paying them.
Here's another one of the Charlie Rangel crew avoiding his state's liquor taxes.........
A Westport lawmaker who voted to hike the state sales and alcohol taxes was spotted brazenly piling booze in his car - adorned with his State House license plate - in the parking lot of a tax-free New Hampshire liquor store, the Herald has learned.
Michael J. Rodrigues’ blue Ford Crown Victoria, emblazoned with his “House 29” Massachusetts license plate, was parked outside a Granite State liquor store on Interstate-95 South over the weekend, according to a witness who provided pictures to the Herald.
The witness, who requested anonymity, claimed he approached Rodrigues, noted his State House plate, and asked if he was on personal or official business. Rodrigues, who was loading booze into his car, snapped “mind your own business,” the witness said.

Is Obama too liberal?
Jonathan Chait, a New Republic writer, asks the question.........
Let me offer this to all these "progressives" out there.
If Obama had campaigned on all these liberal policies, he would have been crushed. In fact, I would offer that if the media had vetted and reported his experience as a socialist, he would have been crushed.
Instead, what the public was sold was this cool, flexible, another way kind of guy; a guy you'd love to share some merlot and arugula with. He was sold as the total antithesis of George Bush. That was the man David Brooks fell in love with.
Liberal policies are a loser in this country. It's why liberals had to change their name to "progressives". You don't see true conservatives running way from their label, do you?
So why is Obama becoming unpopular? The same reason car salesman aren't popular; bait and switch.

The Bengals still suck
As I indicated in my previous post, I can always count on a Bengals fan or two to prove their ignorance as evidenced by their comments.
Here's the most recent.
So what do you think? Did he vote for Obama?
While this particular writer didn't enclose his picture, I'm going to guess that he has a significant forehead; like most Bengal fans. But apparently, Bengals fans are still just ignorant enough to keep buying season tickets, just not enough to prevent blackouts for this upcoming season.
That's good. Maybe we'll be able to watch some good football this season.

Another bad month for the branch gorevidians
Where the hell is my global warming? I was shivering coming into the office this morning.
August was another tough month for the branch gorevidians. You may know these people as a cult believing in an unproven, invisible, occurrence on earth; like God, without the forgiveness.
Well the results to my Global Warming Challenge are in for the month of August.
The average high temperature for the month was 81.6 degrees v the historical average high of 84.8 degrees.
The average low for the month was 62.4 v the historical figure of 64.2.
That brings the challenge even Warm - 8, Cool - 8.
You know, there seem to be three subjects I can post on that bring automatic responses from dumb asses.
They are
1) The Bengals
2) Passenger rails systems
3) My Global Warming Challenge
Let repeat myself once again for you derelict branch gorevidians.
My challenge is not to disprove global warming or not. My challenge is simply to show that our weather is as random as the flip of a coin. I posit that branch gorevidians are the ones who believe that a coin flip will flip towards heads 55% of the time.
None the less, if you are a branch gorevidian this is an excellent chance to take money from the THE GREAT GORDON GEKKO. I've detailed how the challenge is stacked in your favor. That is, if you have the balls or as Eric from Plunderbong would say "put your money where your mouth is".
By the way where is Eric? I know he's been trolling this site so I know he's seen my acceptance of his challenge.
But I guess he doesn't have the balls "to put his money where his mouth is".

Obama - terrorists best friend
So now the Obamunists plan to release a bunch of Gitmo detainees all the while lying to the American public about their danger threat.........
More......
Now, according to sources who have requested anonymity, we can report that the Obama administration -- through the State Department, which is preparing the congressional notices -- is apparently manipulating the intelligence and other evidence to sanitize the Congressional notifications.
Our sources say that the State Department is intentionally omitting any information about the detainees derived from intelligence, saying it isn’t “evidence” against them. As a result, State is sanitizing the notices and presenting Congress with false findings that there is little danger posed by the detainees.
At the same time, another part of the Obama administration is telling the U.S. courts a very different story about some of the same detainees.
Pleadings filed in the U.S. District Court here -- in opposition to Gitmo detainees’ writs of habeas corpus seeking release from detention -- are being prepared in the Defense Department.
These pleadings, called “factual returns,” are, according to our sources, much more “robust” and contain specific information that shows how profoundly dangerous the inmates are to the public and why they should not be released from U.S. custody.
The “returns” are apparently filed under seal in the court and not available to the public.
Free people can derive a lot of differing opinions from the facts. But there is only one set of facts.
Why is the Obama administration telling Congress that these men aren’t dangerous when it is apparently telling the U.S. District Court just the opposite?

Life in "Progress" City
From the The Big Easy aka the city of New Orleans, where you can't find a republican with cadaver dogs or infrared cameras.......
A Florida contractor hired by the Housing Authority of New Orleans to oversee its finances embezzled more than $900,000 during the past three years, according to charges filed Monday by the U.S. attorney's office.
Separate public records show that during the same time period the fiscal manager, Elias Castellanos, 43, bought a $1.6 million mansion in Davie, Fla., just north of Miami, and five late-model cars -- including a Lamborghini Gallardo worth more than $200,000, a Ferrari F430, a Porsche 911 and two Mercedes-Benzes.
Federal prosecutors charged Castellanos with one count of embezzlement Monday through a bill of information, indicating that a plea agreement is likely soon to follow. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office didn't provide details of the alleged scam, but charged that Castellanos pocketed $900,927 while serving as HANO's chief financial officer.
Federal prosecutors also said they would seek to recover $876,917 if they can prove the charges against Castellanos. The bill of information states that the government will try to seize property Castellanos purchased with the money.
Florida public records show he bought the 6,000-square-foot home in 2008 and the five cars between January 2008 and April 2009.
The felony charge against Castellanos comes on the heels of Friday's news that the head of HANO's rental voucher programs, Dwayne Muhammad, was using a Section 8 voucher to pay his own rent, even as he received a $100,000 government salary. And just before Castellanos left HANO in June, the FBI raided the authority's offices after three employees were accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a separate accounting ruse.
What's so "progressive" about wide spread corruption?

Congratulations Michigan
As if things weren't bad enough for employers in Michigan, they're now looking at a new tax increase.
Employers are required to pay Federal Unemployment Tax. The tax is a back up to state unemployment funds and is used when the feds extend unemployment benefits to workers.
If you pay your state tax on time, your FUTA will run .8% on the first $7,000 in wages. Because the state of Michigan is anticipating a default against a loan from the fund, employer's will now have an increased rate of 1.1%.
So congratulation Michigan for making red states redder and making your employers all the more noncompetitive.

Ted Kennedy, Feminist Hero
Last week, the Huffington Post published a piece contending that Mary Jo Kopechne would have done one for the team if she would have known how Teddy would have championed women's rights.
Yeah, I bet she would have thought it was awesome to dies only to watch this cretin continue his abuse of other women.
I continue to be blown away by the women who canonize this creep given his continues abuse of women in his private life.
Finally, a feminist speaks up......

Finally, a feminist speaks up......
Most feminists don't think Ted Kennedy was a misogynist. Upon news of his death, NOW, Emily's List and Planned Parenthood all released emotional, laudatory statements. It's true that Kennedy's legislative record deserves such a response. And he was quiet enough in the last 15 years of his life that it's not hard to minimize his past behavior if you want to.
Or if you're unaware -- Google reported that "Chappaquiddick" and "Mary Jo Kopechne" were the top searches Wednesday and Thursday.
"I didn't know about Chappaquiddick and the rape case until yesterday," says Miriam Perez, a 25-year-old editor at Feministing.com. She admires Kennedy's accomplishments, but is perplexed. "Like every person, he's human and there are lots of flaws involved," she says. "But a big feminist tenet is: The personal is political. So I don't feel it's fair to fully ignore it in this case."
Perhaps, along with the hagiographic Kennedy myth, we can bury this outdated tradition of excusing the reprehensible treatment of women by the same male legislators who otherwise advocate for our rights politically. It's degrading. It's like making excuses for the husband who beats you up but pays the bills on time. It may be 2009, but the bulk of the talking heads who covered this funeral were older white males, and among the few women -- eminent historian Doris Kearns Goodwin among them -- it's still shocking to hear them, nearly to a one, reduce Kennedy's bad behavior to rakish abandon or poor judgement. Why shouldn't we hold our elected male officials -- especially those who so assiduously court the female vote -- to a standard of personal decency in their treatment of women? Why do we still assume that this is an either/or proposition?
"It's a great question," says Gloria Feldt, former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Feldt worked with Kennedy and is an admirer, still. "He worked with women's groups in a very respectful way, in a way that few other senators do," she says. "But I don't know that you can reconcile it -- when it's in a group's best interest that said person stays in that chair, how do you weigh that moral equation? I wish it were simpler than that."
