And the “jug-ears” construct carries a heavy subtext of a lack of permanence, too.

Go Bears! Beat Stanford!

Shivas Irons on April 16, 2012 at 12:05 PM

Stanford always wins at everything.

Isn’t this a website where we recommend others to “stop digging”?

College education hehehehehehehahahahahahahahaha

Go Bears! Beat Stanford!

90 billion. 90 BILLION! Enough to build 45 Attack Submarines or nearly 20 carriers

Vanished…vaporized.

And they want to run our Health Care.

And if we’d built another 30 submarines and three or four aircraft carriers and recuited the folks to man them, we’d have had some real stimulus. Nothing phony about that. We’d have a lot more jobs in the works too…..

Why do the proggies consider spending on unemployment insurance, bike paths, and fountains to be ‘stimulative’, but not spending on military equipment made in the USA?

Reuters: Those “green-collar jobs” promises have been a bust, huh?

We’re shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Will China Slow Solar, Wind Expansion?

China will accelerate the use of new-energy sources such as nuclear energy and put an end to blind expansion in industries such as solar energy and wind power in 2012, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao says in a government report published on March 5.

China will instead develop nuclear power in 2012, actively develop hydroelectric power, tackle key problems more quickly in the exploration and development of shale gas, and increase the share of new energy and renewable energy in total energy consumption.

Anti-Green Rollback: Ministers Preparing To Veto Windfarms

Ministers are preparing to veto major new wind farms in the British countryside and cut back their subsidies, according to senior Whitehall sources. The decision to pull back from onshore wind farms comes after more than 100 backbench Conservative MPs mounted a rebellion against turbines blighting rural areas.

Spain Stops Green Energy Subsidies

Spain halted subsidies for renewable energy projects to help curb its budget deficit and rein in power-system borrowings backed by the state that reached 24 billion euros ($31 billion) at the end of 2011.

What a waste of our money which will have to be paid back to the Chicoms by our grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Kissmygrits on April 16, 2012 at 9:30 AM

Actually, that’s a popular misconception. The ChiComs really don’t want our T-bonds any more; apparently they have enough of them.

It’s the Federal Reserve that is “buying” our debt. It prints up the money (quantitative easing) and uses the dollars to “buy” T-bonds and T-bills.

If you think like is resembling a Monopoly game, you’re not delusional. It is just like it, and it’s just as fake. Which is why nobody wants to invest here.

It is far worse than merely having children in charge – we are being ruled by children who are born sociopaths and listen to demons.

What people overlook…American military is built by American’s…

Everywhere I turn, I see more examples of just how stunningly incompetent the boob named baraka is.

Green jobs- fail. Int’l summit in Colombia- fail. Economic policy- fail. Arab spring- fail. Health care reform- fail. Energy policy- double fail. Forming complete sentences without his electrobinky- triple fail. Monetary policy- fail. Iran and nukes- fail. Russia relations- fail with a backflip and full pike.

Fail. Fail. Fail. 1,000 x FAIL.

Barfail Ofailma.

Hope. Change. Abject fail.

Please make this stuttering failure go away. Forever. Send him back to Failure island, or Austfailia- wherever the mincing donkey is from.

This is one of the most funny posts I have ever seen

So eloquent

So Funny

So True

To your point- I go back and forth on what you posit…is baraka an evil mastermind or a mincing buffoon? At most, I’ll say this grinning jackhole is a feckless agent for powers far smarter and more cunning than he’ll ever be.

GrassMudHorsey on April 16, 2012 at 10:42 AM

Even on that I think we disagree. Is Obama a front man for a cabal of Marxist’s intent on “fundamentally transforming” America into a Marxist Utopia.

Yes, absolutely.

Where we differ here, is that I do not for one second believe that Obama is a stupid puppet. And yes, you can separate that into two categories. Stupid and Puppet. He is neither.

Yes, Obama has a cabal of very smart men and women working behind the scenes and no the agenda he is advancing is not 100 percent his own. The agenda is Karl Marx’s. The men and women working behind the scenes for Obama all follow that agenda as does Barack Obama himself.

However, do not be deceived, Obama is leading that cabal of “Fellow Travelers” in the same fashion that Stalin, Mao, and Castro did, albeit not as violently. (Yet anyways)

But who knew millions of spinning beanie props would threaten the domestic bumble bee population?

The Feds needed 900 billion to kickstart the green jobs economy. Taxpayers continue to underfund well-deserved job bills. In other words, the Obama machine needs at least another 2 decades and 150 trillion of your dollars for his policies to work. Call it the mañana syndrome.

racquetballer on April 16, 2012 at 10:31 AM

There is no amount of money that could have kick started the Green jobs, just go look at what trying this Marxist command and control economy fiasco did to Spain’s economy… 20% unemployment… Yea…2 jobs lost for every one created… No thank you our economy is already in bad enough shape with draconian regulations and crushing tax rates.

Don’t be sorry.

I encourage you to disagree with me, so that I can check my premises and question my conclusions. Unlike the indoctrinated and slavishly dogmatic left, a variety of viewpoints and opinions are encouraged on the Right (as in correct) side of the political spectrum.

Over many years, liberals fought and won the battle for environmental issues to be considered in development, and for the public to have a voice. In almost every project, we are talking habitat destruction, threat to cultural artifacts (Native American), threat to endangered species, and so forth. So my organization attracted liberals in great numbers to oppose the solar project. Nice people, hard workers, but confused.

One said to me “I don’t blame Obama for this”. I told her “I do. A president is supposed to consider consequences.” End of conversation.

For now, it looks like we won. Had we lost, a project that would have impacted the lives of hundreds of local people (who have little part in environmental considerations) would have resulted in 5-6 low-paying jobs. Not in the equation is how much time was wasted by my people and the government officials dealing with the stupid project.

We worked very, very hard. (And that’s where lots of the Tea Party people like me are – working on local, county, and state stuff.)
