Obama has been repeating over and over how he inherited “this deficit.” As if to say, I am blameless about it because the buck stopped somewhere else. Now that he has added $800 billion in stimulus and $1.75 trillion in the new budget, he can blame it all on the past as well, because of “failed policies” and “broken promises.” But I will blame the him and the rest of the government.

Another point – all news networks should employ an alert vis-a-vis the Ice Man “Bullshit” comment from Top Gun(1:58 in the above vid) for high ranking government officials (aka Obama) who say things like, “Secretary XYZ is saving the government $20 million by streamlining processes and improving technology.” This is BS on 2 levels. Level 1, “streamlining processes and improving technology” is meaningless language for “we are better managers and are really going to kick ass.” Point 2, $20 million is like .0000000008% of the budget deficit. That is like me telling my wife that I negotiated with the cable company and I saved us 1/20th of a penny over the next 5 years.

Talk is cheap, unless you are the President.

I had lunch at a local bar that has a pizza buffet. A nice lunch of pizza and Guinness. At this particular bar there seemed to be an over abundance of unshaven, fat men in sweatpants.

If you are drinking at noon on Monday in a bar and you cannot shave or put on normal clothes you have a problem. Either a drinking problem or a fashion problem. If I were the proprietor of this establishment I would think hard about how to set some sort of dress code.
