Please call me fishy.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Thursday, August 06, 2009 11:01:13 PM
I would take it as a personal badge of honor if you would turn me into the White House as "fishy".  If it helps, I have had fish in the past, I have been fishing (although not ice fishing) and if you squint, I look kinda like one.  According to Whitehouse.gov, they only want to report on  things that talk about health insurance reform as quoted below:
If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.
 
Just to be sure here is a link to the text of the current house bill. http://energycommerce.house.gov/Press_111/20090714/aahca.pdf.
 
Now I will say it; This bill is a piece of crap.  It smells like dead fish.  I would not even use it to wrap dead fish.  This bill is so bad that it wants to be called Ted instead of Bill.  This bill is so bad it even Congress won't read it.   This bill is so bad Congress had to leave town for a Month.  This bill is so bad I can't even come up with any more lame jokes.
 
There, that should be enough to be reported shoudn't it?
 
In the meantime, read the piece of crap, learn everything you can about and help to defeat it.  Write your Congressman and go to the league of American Voters and donate to their ad campaign.  A small donation now will hurt a lot less than the healthcare you will get (or not get) in future if this stinker passes.  League of American Voters
 
If  you love your parents or grandparents don't let this pass.  They will become expendable quickly as this program needs to cut costs.

Change he hoped for.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 10:50:06 PM
In my everyday job, I get a lot of chances to work at bank branches.  One thing that was pointed out to me was the increase in people turning in change.  You know, the big jars of pennies that people have been saving for their whole lifetime.  Apparently people have been turning change in at a greatly increased rate. I guess that means that people are hard up for money these days.  I can't for the life of me imagine why. But that is not my focus of this post.
 
In the past I remember reading about the fact that the US mint issues pennies more often than they should because people hoard pennies. Some went on to lament the cost of making pennies. Check this Snopes article for info on that. 
 
I think Obama is a genius!  He has figured out how to get people to stop hoarding pennies.  He figured that if he increased the perceived value of a penny that people would start caring about them again and put them back into circulation.  So by destroying the economy, he could save the government the $74 million that it cost to make the pennies.  Then he can leverage the savings 100,000 times to pay for the stimulus package.  If only he had told us!  I am sure that everyone can agree to come together for his "Change" that we can believe in.

How Obama Changed my life. Day twenty five.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Saturday, February 14, 2009 6:11:15 PM
We are a quarter of the way to 100 day mark!  How things have changed!  Now Congress does not even read bills before they vote on them.  That is change that we can believe in.  Imagine the time savings that we can generate if we all did our jobs that way.  Students would not read books (or even cliff notes) before writing book reports, reporters would not ask pertinent questions before writing on important topics like global warming.  Writers could sell tons of books about anything and just change the title.  Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?

It is funny how there used to be complaints of how lobbyists wrote bills.  At least someone acted like they read the things before they voted.  I know Nancy Pelosi really had to get to Rome.  When in Rome do as the romans (I think she would make a great Gladiator).  Or maybe I just want to see someone knock her silly.... Of course anyone that says that 500 million American jobs are being lost every month may not need another hit of whatever it is she gets in San Fran.

At least we can console ourselves that now a health care department has been slipped into the bill that will limit payments to doctors.  I would hate to see those doctor jerks improve their paycheck by improving their medicinal skills and trying  harder to be good doctors.  Don't pay the doctors when you increase the earned income credit, thats what I say.

Thank you Obama for passing a plan that even the stock market doesn't like.  How does it feel when your stimulus package that is your first major piece of legislation actually makes the market drop?  I can't wait to see your next effort!  If at first you don't succeed spend more next time.

Obamerica change-o-meter at -5000
Obamerica scare-o-meter was set by Obama at "Extremely super duper scare um to death" mode - Democrats fell for it and 3 Republicans liberals did also - sane people were not scared.

Global warming is man made meter - I had to order a new one because the last one got the same virus that took out my computer for the last couple of weeks.  It is really expensive but I think I got it passed in that stimulus package if I can just get my copy.

How Obama changed my life. Day fourteen.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 10:42:10 PM
Obama my friend, I cannot believe that it has been two weeks already.  Do we the same feelings that we used to?  Do you still love me?  Of course the current polls show your approval rating polling less than how Bush began his first term.  How things change!
 
Sorry about Tom and that other lady that stepped aside because of those pesky tax issues.  It almost makes one think that there should be a more fair system of taxation.  Maybe you could call it the "fair tax".  Or is that already taken.  Maybe you should check fairtax.org.
 
Also sorry to hear that Norm Coleman got a favorable ruling from that judge in Minnesota.  Have to remember to pay those judges next time.
 
I hope our next two weeks together are even better!

How Obama changed my life. Day Thirteen

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 12:12:59 AM
Today Obama made me realize that paying taxes is only for suckers.  Unless of course you are applying for an administration job, at which point you have to pay at least some taxes before getting a cush job.
 
Obama also made me realize that I must be really anti-american to not want THIS stimulus plan passed.  This plan is the perfect plan.  It cam from Stan in the tan van man.  Seriously it came from Peolosi in the .... what ever rhymes with osi.
 
Obamerica change-o-meter still at zero.
Obamerica scare-o-meter at 546,457.
 
Man made global warming meter is waiting for parts from Al Gore.  He has to get them from his houseboat and drive them in his towncar to his private jet in order to get them here.

How Obama Changed my life. Day twelve.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Sunday, February 01, 2009 10:20:55 PM
Well even Obama couldn't make Arizona win the Super Bowl.  

It would appear that he may not even have the votes to pass the stimulus bill.  Mr. President, how have we let you down that you will not let us - let you take our money and then spend it lavishly as if it were your own.  Was it not just this very week that you were serving $100 per serving steaks in the super heated Absence of Color house? 
I was really looking forward to my share of the community organizing money. 
How could I forget the free contraceptives for life.  Bye the way, is Michelle really pregnant? I saw a story on that somewhere.  If that is true, how will you ever face your population control friends.  You would have committed the worst sin ever of having three children!  It will be interesting (if true) to see how the media treats an Obama baby versus a Palin baby.  Remember the major media reporting the stories of Trig not being born by Sarah.  (No media bias there).

Well good luck with that whole stimulus thing.  And I mean the whole thing as the Republicans seem to have found some left over brains and are not going to vote for it. So it is all yours baby. (There is that baby thing again.)

How Obama changed my life. Day Eleven.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Saturday, January 31, 2009 5:55:09 PM
Obama, my faith is shaken (not stirred).  Why oh great one are you not able to make the recovery faster?  Today you said that the recovery will take "years not months".  Oh wise one, have we failed so miserably that even you cannot recover faster?  Or is your slogan of change that we can believe in correct because:

  1. Anyone can believe in slow tedious change.
  2. Your change will be too imperceptible to see in less than a few years.
  3. Your "ideas" are horribly bad.
  4. Socialism really does not work, but if you lower expectations enough people will not think its you.
I think I speak for most Americans, when I say that we were kinda hoping for change with positive, quick results.  Not change that sucks.  If we wanted that, we could have voted for Hillary.  But who am I to question the great Obama?  

Obamaerica change-o-meter  is running slow today, check back later to see if his results are in.

Obama scare-o-meter is set at 1,000,000 by Obama - results are about 150.  Look for more attempts to scare us away from listening to talk radio.

Global warming meter froze up this morning.  I will try and thaw it out and get it to the repair shop on Monday if its not too cold.

How Obama changed my life. Day Ten.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Friday, January 30, 2009 9:05:25 PM
Double digit's already!  But who is counting anyway.  Sara Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, any freedom loving American to name a few.

I am glad that Obama chose to have the most ethical administration ever.  I can't imagine who he would have picked otherwise.  Daschel is the last possible victim.  What does Tom need with a Cadillac and driver in South Dakota anyway.  (Or was he North?)  It does not really matter anyway.  

$100,000 in back taxes.  It really starts to explain why Democrats like to raise taxes.  They don't pay them anyway!  A tax cut to a Democrat just means that they are stealing less.

I am taking odds on how long until the next Illinois governor is indicted.  My guess is 16 months, 3 days, four hours and 26 minutes.  Approximately.

Thanks Obama for making the unions more powerful with your executive orders today!  Guido will be so thrilled.  It's always great to give the Mob more power.  Yeah that "card check" thing will make everybody feel better...  I am sure no intimidation will ever happen - On a side note - real story - my Dad worked for a steel company that had an incident of a union guy chasing a manager with a chain saw during a strike.  No charges ever filed.  Get ready for more of this.

Suprise! The FBI says gangs are responsible for 80% of all violent crime.  I am sure that someone will do a story on the middle class Christian white guy gangs very soon.

How Obama Changed my life. Day eight.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:11:55 AM
Today Obama changed my life in the biggest way yet.  He successfully made the house Republicans come together on an issue of importance!  Congratulations President Obama!  You rock!  Peace in the Middle East must be next.

The Senate will be fun to watch.  A stimulus package that is 100 Democratic will show whether or not this crap can work and who is to blame.  Every sane person knows that it can't, so we will get to count the inmates in the asylum. 

The fun of this really goes south with each Senate Republican vote, so I think we should offer the Republicans a free trip to the moon for the next few months just so they can't vote.

Thanks again Obama!

How Obama changed my life. Day Eight.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 8:46:55 PM
Obama has reached out to the minority today.  He met with the GOP in the house. Sounds like some were more impressed than others.  It also sounds like the house GOP is planing on not voting for the bailout.  This is good.  If the last election showed us anything, it is that if you don't have a large enough distinction between the parties, anyone can win.  Obama did.  Even in a Democrat year, someone with the name Hussein should not have won in America.  A competent Republican should have gone to easy victory.

Go Sarah!

My life was not changed today.  However, if I want to buy an America car, my choices will soon be limited based on what Obama is planning.  Any autoworker who votes Democratic at this point has to be crazy.  I said that when Al Gore ran and I will say it again.  The national Democratic party hates cars.  If you get paid for making cars, you might want to vote for someone who likes to drive.  In particular if they like to drive big expensive SUV's that your company can make a healthy profit selling. (They use things like profit to pay you).

How Obama changed my life. Day seven.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Monday, January 26, 2009 8:20:29 PM
Wow, a week already! Only 1454 days to go. Maybe.  

I see that Obama must be trying to delegate his work.  He had Hillary appoint a Global Warming Envoy.  It must be really hard work keeping it this cold.  Thanks for the snow and ice coming Mr. President.  Thank you for keeping Al Gore quiet for at least a couple of days - although I could have used the extra sleep.

How Obama changed my life. Day Six.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Sunday, January 25, 2009 4:22:10 PM
Yesterday's post was not showing as positive of an attitude as I try and reflect.  Maybe Obama is changing me to be cynical? As a Christian, I am taught to build others up with my words.  I find this hard to do, but I will give it a try.
 
Mr. President, if you try harder someday you can become a conservative!
Mr. President, if you try hard and enact your all of your policies, someday you will get a chance to learn what a VETO over-ride is.
Mr. President, if you keep it up, you can have the same Presidential rating as Jimmy Carter!
Mr. President, if you keep it up, next time the media will ask even the Democratic canidate hard questions.
 
I think that is all I can stomach for now.
 
Obama change-o-meter is at a zero because I went to church today!

How Obama changed my life. Day five.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Saturday, January 24, 2009 4:07:25 PM
Obama must be getting control of this weather thing.  We have a forecast of 22 degrees for the next three days.  That is really good conservation of energy to do the temperatures three days at a time like that.  Such foresight!

There have been quite a few layoffs and plant closings in the area around here.  I sure am glad that someone with great business experience is in the "Absence of Color" house.  It is great to know that he can draw on all that experience as a a a a ......community organizer and.....

Maybe his experience in quasi-legal transcendental recreational medications can help jobs appear.

People who think that decreasing the cost of employing Americans by cutting business income and payroll taxes are obviously racist fools that hate the poor.  It is a much better plan to;
  • Keep taking money out of the economy.
  • Give it to the government.
  • Let the government pick winners and losers of the "Stimulus Lottery"  (See Robert Reich and Barney Frank).
Instead of:

  • Letting business owners employ people more cheaply.
  • Have less taxes so that they can;
    • Make more money.
    • Return money to their stockholders.
    • Employ more people.
    • Make products and deliver services that people actually want.
  • Do all of this with no government program needed!
Certainly the "Fair Tax" should never be allowed to be implemented.  It might work.

Obama change-o-meter is at -15.  Partly a "futures" based index because of a lack of economic programs as above.

Maybe I just need to believe in change more.

How Obama changed my life. Day Four

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Friday, January 23, 2009 6:08:06 PM
It got cold again today and not just outside.  Today Mr. President signed the executive order to allow funding for international family planning and abortions.  This must be part of his master plan to keep the Obamaerica safe from foreign children. Those pesky little things just grow up and keep on having more children and so on and so on.
 
Some of them even wind up in Guantanamo and then need to have free legal services, room and board, prayer rugs and stuff.  That is way more expensive than letting them live.  I would have thought that all the data showing how bad abortion has been for the "African American" community that he would have a slight inclination to view abortion politics with a skeptical eye.  However, he obviously knows something that none of us know.  True genius in action.
 
After the $170 million inauguration , I guess the drapes were not good enough in the White House.  Now that race is no longer an issue, should we get a new name for the White House?  Maybe the "Absence of all color house"?
 
Did anyone see that Newsweek today that shows "Obama's America" on the cover? They must be reading my blog!  Obamaerica running wild!
 
Obama change-o-meter currently at  a negative 10 for keeping us safe from children.

How Obama changed my life. Day Three.

Posted by Missouri Capitalist on Thursday, January 22, 2009 5:43:44 PM
Wow! The days seem to be going by quickly. I can hardly believe that there are only as few as 1458 days left of Obamaerica!

Obama must have been cold yesterday, he sure turned the heat up today.  It reached 61degrees here today when the average for January is 33 degrees.

Let's see.  If we need $1.5 trillion to potentially drop global temperatures by .5 degrees over fifty years, how much do we need to cool things 22 degrees in one day?  Who could take on such on big job?  Obama?  No....  Haliburton!  I am sure Dick Cheney has time to get that set up...

Stock market wise Obama still can not quite figure out if the rich still have too much money or not.  Today he took back a little of what gave away yesterday.  This is getting confusing for us little people.

My Obamaerica change-o-meter is at 1.1. The point one is for the executive order that limits White House employee raises and lobbying by former administration officials.  He must be planning on some quick employee turnover to have done that so quickly.  I can think of about three different items that he said he would do as "my first act as president".  Of course in this case it was to do the oath of office a second time! (That way he did not have to use that pesky bible that threw him off the first time).  

Thanks for reading!  Please post your Obamaerica change-o-meter scores.
