The Stimulus is Working ~ 7MM Magnum (Plus: Thornton over Erskine)


The Stimulus is Working

Unemployment in California is now over 12% (realistically closer to 20%). “The Stimulus is working.” I’m going to do my part and purchase a lawnmower to create 50 new jobs. I learned you can do that from the White House’s web site. Don’t bother to thank me. I’m just a citizen doing my part. I’ll even buy a John Deere instead of a Honda.


Free agency begins today in Major League Baseball. This is the best time of year to be a Yankee fan. It’s like Ivanka Trump in the mall with daddy’s credit card. Although it’s a thin crop of players, Matt Holliday, Jason Bay and John Lackey will help some ball clubs. The question is, “at what price?” Unless, of course, you’re a Yankee fan, then you never ask yourself that question. “The Stimulus is working.”


The new Health Care bill is over 2000 pages long. Raise your hand if you think your government representatives will actually read it. They admittedly didn’t read the Stimulus bill because they weren’t given enough time. Most had aides skim through it. And it really didn’t matter because they crossed stuff out and wrote in new material in the margins. Give them some napkins and crayons to write on next time. This is government at its finest. The Goth Girl down the street would have trouble finishing a 2000 page Twilight book and digesting it, let alone understand it well enough to legislate in every American home. Of course, under the proposed bill, all Americans refusing to purchase health care will be considered criminals. I guess this will benefit the prison industry. “The Stimulus is working.”

On the college football recruiting front: So, it's easy to see why Storm Johnson (Loganville HS, GA) chose the Hurricanes, but equally puzzling why Mack Brown (Martin Luther King HS, GA) did not choose Texas. Although, the Horns did land top prospect, Chris Jones ("Rodney" Daingerfield HS, TX). Baylor was excited to get a verbal from "You can come down outta that tree anytime now" Ahmad Dixon (Midway HS, TX). There is still a bidding war over "I shot the" Shariff Floyd (George Washington HS, PA). Georgia got Nickell Robey from Frostproof HS, FL, where it never snows.


The Republic of Ireland is still in shock after losing to France 2-1 on aggregate allowing Les Bleus to qualify for the World Cup instead of the Irish. The winning goal came as a result of a double handball by France’s Thierry Henry and was not called by referee, Martin Hansson. Even the French, to their credit, are not proud of the way they were allowed to qualify under such circumstances. Henry said, "Naturally I feel embarrassed at the way that we won and feel extremely sorry for the Irish who definitely deserve to be in South Africa. Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control.'' The Irish have asked for the game to be replayed but FIFA has denied the request. The Irish were the better side for most of the game, but the luck of the Irish was not to be found this day. I’ll be sure to slam down an Irish Car Bomb in a show of solidarity this evening lads. I’ll make sure at the pub, at least for tonight that “The Stimulus is working.”

Capitalism Hurts ~ 7 MM Magnum (Plus: Ivanans over Bissonnette)

Capitalism Hurts
7 MM Magnum

I hate the Yankees! I love Capitalism. Therein lays the quandary. I love that Yankees can outspend every other team in Major League Baseball in dramatic fashion because they have the means to do it, but it also disgusts me. Full disclosure: Angel fan here. Nevertheless, as Larry Kudlow would proudly declare, “free market capitalism is the best road to prosperity.” Besides, rooting against a team is as much fan as rooting for a team. I love it when the Yankees lose. Go underdog! Unless, of course, the underdog is playing my beloved Angels who have the 6th highest payroll in the league. Too bad for the other 20+ teams that don’t spend as much as the Angels! Sell more hot dogs. Again, capitalism carries the day. Congrats to the roid taking, Dom drinking, Madonna humping Yankees and their rude, obnoxious, subway riding, homeless cursing, thin pizza making, go @#$% yourself fans on their 27 World Championship. See you next year fat cats.

Gay Marriage lost a crucial vote in Maine yesterday. Wow! The Moose, who outnumber the people in Maine, must have turned out for the vote. I thought this was a no brainer victory for same sexers. I guess people are worried how many doors must open under the pretense of “We love each other. Give us the same rights.” People, and moose, might be afraid that if you green light certain forms of marriage because of “love and equality” that many alternative forms of marriage must then become acceptable. Can you say a human and a moose?

David Beckham is going back to Real Madrid on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy. Does anybody care? Give me football not a freak show. Give me football players, not hipster prima donnas. And if you read Victoria Beckham’s diet book, you sir or ma’am, are the reason the psychiatry business is so lucrative.

Barbara Boxer and the Dems passed a Global Warming, errrr Climate Change bill without any Republicans present. Those dam Republicans wanted a cost-benefit analysis to gauge costs to taxpayers. Those fiscally conservative punks should just drop their brains and step away from the legislative table before anyone gains knowledge. Look for skyrocketing energy costs and business closures. Another day in office for the Dems, another day closer to disaster for common folk. I heard it told the other day that if the Republicans are the party of the rich, then isn’t it in their best interest to keep their constituents rich? If that’s true, then if the Democrats are the party of the poor, isn’t it in the Democrat leadership’s best interest to keep their constituents poor? Take that home and chew it.
