Tumble Down
1-The lying, lame duck, LDP president did an about face yesterday by re-defining the Sequester Cuts impact in the near term and really in the long term also, a tumble down reduction in the rate of growth over time. Better yet in GI speak... its a BFD.
2-Between Pope Benedict XVI resigning, and related sede vacante and interregnumand, that follows, coupled that with Bob Woodward's running battle of words with the WH caught the WH in big fat lies. In GI's speak these are BFDs.
3-pp took the opportunity to throttle back on his doom day's campaign speech on Sequestion and in doing so reeled in more of his creditability hopfully approaching deficit figures. I wonder how his Cabinet members strangled on his script change?
3-With pp crying wolf over Sequester too many times, he weakened the Office of the Presidency in historical terms, for what comes next.
4-What this means Earl's boy has to keep a full court press on the WH as we enter Sequestration, the Continuous Resultation and capping the debt ceiling later in May 2013.
5-The CTPR must get there troops in cadance step to counter the LDP weakened position.
6-Better yet, the CTPR needs to fetch a defector or two or three...from the LDP ranks and make pp think about sede vacante.

March Madness
1-Somehow March madness will have different meaning this year. Rather than round ball games of a few, all US Citizens will be affected one way or another for what is coming starting Friday March 1, 2013. 1) Sequester starts 03.01.13. 2) Continuous Resulation starts 03.27.13. 3) When time ran out on 12.31.12 Fiscal Cliff, pp postponed adressing...raising the basketball hoop a tad so to speak, raising the ceiling on the Nations debt now > $16.6 T.
2-Five top myths to our nations woes:
1) We can use income tax to reduce the debt.
2) We can not reduce the debt by reforming Social Security and Medicare.
3) Repealing the AHA Law will increase the Nation's debt.
4) We can resolve our debt by making gov't more efficient.
5) We can afford higher interest rates.

March 1, 2013
1-Do you realize the $48B that has DC tied up in knots, is $2B less than the bill passed for Hurricane Sandy $60B clean up? Another fact, the sky is not going to fall if the WH and Congress blow past the 03.10.13 drop dead date and sequester actually takes place. The $48B, as I understand it, is not in real spending cuts now, rather a reduction in fiscal year 2014 operating budget if WH and Congress ever creates one. What a way to operate the largest corporation in the world. In the real world the CEO would of been fired.
2-Looks like the WH is finally going to turn over > 10K pages of Benghazi-related documents, including witness interviews, staff briefings to the Senate Committee before they pass judgement on "Tricky Dick" Brennan for the CIA Director's Chair. Look at that dude closely in the eyes and mannerism and you will see why I call him Nixon Jr.
3-I am almost 100% sure of the documents being sent to the Committee have been laundered a dozen times and redacted so to become meaningless and all the guilty parties both active and retired will not be given as much as a slap on the wrist. "Triky Dick" will pass muster.
4- This is one of the biggest cover ups in US History and in time it will be seen on the TV show "Mysteries at the Museum" in the year 2313.

S.Africa beats Hollywood
1-A S.African judge earlier this AM granted an Oscar, bail, pending trial in mid-June. Hollywood don't grant Oscars until later this month.
2-With note, S African judicial system does not have trial by jury, rather one judge rules. There maybe other support persons on the judge's court, but not seated with the judge.
3-The S.African state case took a hit yesterday when their chief investigator was found to be on another murder case, where is a defendant. Holy cow! No vetting system atall.
4-I think I have an answer for not having a jury of peers making final judgement. There are at least 10 languages spoken in S.Africa: Afrikaan, English, Ndebel, Sotho, Sessotti, Swat, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda and Xhosa.
5-The WH to sign off on an additional $18B for green energy projects even though the track record is strewn with dozens of companies that went belly up or sold to foreign counties. The latest the all electric "Fester" auto. The Chinese are buying the company, that American taxpayers poured hundreds of million of tax dollars into since 2009. Not sure if company is being moved to China?
6-A week from today we celebrate Asiatic Fleet Memorial Day, so my calander tells me. Sharing March 1, is another man-made invention "Sequestration Day". If they don't kick the can down the street this time 60 days, maybe WH and Congress will come to grips with this initial spending cut, a meer 0.3% of GDP across the board. That is a spending cut of only $48B in an economy of $16T. Another trick they could do to cushion a 0.3% spending cut impact is to allow the Military to make the cuts of $24B to set priority with least impact on people. The $24B in Domestic cuts could do likewise. Will that happen? One can hope and pray a leader pops up to show the way. Otherwise our fate will be an re-enactment of what is happening in Europe now.

Duplicity
1- During the State of the Union Address...pp touched on the need for family unity and specificitly that he sponsored fatherhood. Huh? I was startled, but thought that was something unscripted, a teleprompter malfunction. Well it didn't take long to find out it was some more of his BS. So what happens the first extended weekend?MammaO and the kids head there way on vacation, pp heads to Florida to spend a week end golfing with the antihesis of fatherhood... TW. On the other hand, TW could of been coaching pp on techniques for picking white, blond gals. Maybe he wants to ditch the black Amazon and offshoots, after leaving office? Bless me father for I hav... Strike that last sentence.
2-Speaking of fatherhood, pp stopped last week in Chicago, on his nation's quest to re-write history especialy the Second Admendment to US Constitution and band all assault weapons. On the other hand, perhaps pp wanted to take the opportunity to say fairwell to Jessie Jr., heading soon for the governor's wing at the Big House down state for a many years. Jessie Jr spent $750K of campaign funds for private use including his unsuccessful biding for pp's old US Senate seat. The Jessie Sr. is another example of the antihesis of fatherhood. Do as I say not as I do.
2-On pp's campaign to try to play take away of the US citizens assault weapons an interest statistic surfaced. Irrespective of race what percentage of citizens were killed by assault weapons? Would you believe 1 to 2%, so says Walter Wiliams, a black columnist, citing FBI report. In 2011 there were 323 homicides committed with rifles of any kind but there were 496 committed with hammers or clubs. In 2012, final tally mostly black on black Chicago homicides was 512. Detroit 411, Philly 331, Balitmore 215 rounded out the top four.
3-Here are LDP's suport groups: Unmarried mothers (children without fathers): White 29%, Hispanic 53%, Black 73%. Following are the proverty rates for married couples/families: whites 3.2%, blacks 7%, and Hispanics 13.2%. Unmarried families: whites 22%, blacks 35.6% and Hispanics 37.9%.
4-As Mr Williams' concluded the problem isn't guns, it's the culture decay.
5-As we approach Sequester Day, Mar 1,2013 all the politicians and pp will be back from a well earned vacation (only 53 calander days into the new year) for what could be the second Day of Infamy ( the other one Dec 7, 1941/ FDR). They will have four days to keep automatic cuts across the board averaging 2.5% and with no more revenue generation. Will that happen hell no, kick the can 60 days down the road.

Wait a minute!
1-FNC had a running graph at the bottom of the TV screen, for Tuesday night's Address that tallied all the total tweets received as pp spoke. There were millions of tweets. The simple graph had a zero base line with a + above and a - below. At no time could I discern the composite curve to reach the base line or venture into + terrority.
2-Later FNC peeled out the LDP, CTPR and Independent tweeters. The LDP curve was the most generous, being less negative, while the CTPR and I's track similar but more negative than LDPs curve.
Granted this datum has a starboard bias, it never the less shows the Address was not well received. Maybe the free TV sets LDP distribution has not caught up with the free cell phones distributed earlier or the original free cell phones were not equipped to tweet? Hell, issue new free cell phones with all the feature, it will not cost taxpayer a dime. Where did I hear that before?
3.Understand also fewer people (Neilsen) watched the address than pp's earlier four. by a good margin.
4-I gleaned from an articled by George Wills (Washington Post) that "O'Care or AHA (Law) is doomed to failure". Wills critiques Chief Justice Roberts' ruling on the original Law e.g. "the penalities", are constitutionally limited, but declared them a tax may of saved the ACA constitutionality by sacrificing its feasibility.
5-I make a prediction, the go date for AHA to be 100% operational will be pushed back from 2014 to 2016 or later.

Number ONE!
1-In 1978, the Bee Gee's were on top of the musical world with their song "Stayin' Alive". Come to think about it, the WH and DLP's could adopt that song as there theme song for the next four years? It ain't gonna be a smooth ride, folks.
2-To me, pp appeared more white, maybe pale, peeked, lack smiles, last night than in previous TV appearances. Maybe he is burnt out from his consent 5 year campaign circuit, and don't have time to do all his duties as president. Stike the thought... he is going to follow Pope Benedict's to early retirement, pp is not know for finishing anything. OMG...GI is in wings. But wait! Citizen Clinton (CC) could become VP in waiting, and when GI goes she could be president for over two terms.
3-Like most of pp's past speeches, they are of the shotgun variety, a bunch of topics like a buckshot blast against a wall. In old time Management#101... that's a killer everytime. Multi-tasking is one thing, pp agenda is impossible to achieve, plus they are all goverment "investments". We gotta no money!
4-Case in point...in just 17 days, pp will be confronted with a economic steel re-inforced concrete wall the thickness and height as Hoover Dam, it's called "Sequestration". Guess what, that activity was of pp own invention, created by two other killers from old time management #101: procrastration and indecision. Happened back in 4Q12. That's when pp, Dirty Harry and Mother Mornon couldn't agree with the CTPR leaders including Earl's boy on any cutting government "investment" aka government spending with CTPR's cuts in tax loopholes netting some needed revenue. What did pp do: kicked the can down the road to MARCH 1,2013. So what is pp doing for the next few days...campaigning to sell his messages from the State of the Union address. Why?

Fat Tuesday
1-Down New Orlean way, it's raining, carnvial season coming to an end, party time is winding down, lent starts, ashes being distributed, repenting begins at 0001 hrs in the morn.
2-Quite by coincidence, we have the opportunity to listen tonight to the LDP president preach his sermon on the "State of Union". How it's improved our lives this past year and what grand schemes he has in store for the next four years.
3-To be honest, all pp has to do is dust off his initial 2009 State of the Union speech, for all of the objectives still remain. pp's sermon going to be about jobs jobs, jobs, need for more "investments, investments, investments,", a few words on gun control, release immigration restrictions, let everbody across the our borders that vote LDP, and maybe a word or two about the economy. But we gotta have more investment $s. The US of A is going to have "peace in our time". pp is pulling the balance of the combact troops from Afghanistan by 2014 ready or not, leaving a cell phone number to call the SOS, but remenber we don't make house calls any more.
4-Benghazi screw up never happen, the American killed themselves rather than to be taken capitive and comprimize my Administration. Stop picking on citizen Clinton. This issue will be off the table by executive order in the near term.
6-Stop picking on the AG for "Ops Fast and Furious". This is off the table by executive previlege.
5-Earl's boy is going to catch hell for holding up approval of pp hand picked candidates for SOD, CIA, SOT. But, but Sir, the CTPR majority in the House don't approve these or any other cabinet posts coming down the pike. You have the wrong branch of Congress. Dirty Harry told me to say that.
6-But it's Earl's boy and his band holding up on my Fiscal 2014 Ops Budget! Earl's boy says we have a major spending problem in the WH specificially and in DC in general. I am telling you again we don't have a spending problem (Mother Moron just seconded that notion, in the last day or so).
7-You guys, excluding women members, down there in the front row box seats (Supremes)
keep you hands off my O'HealthCare Law regardless what anyone demands, I am the King.
8.Like the King of the Marda Gras, his reign is about end, his Lame Duck Administration begins at 0001 hrs in the morn.

New Pope
1- Is the Pope setting term limits on his office? Maybe not. He is showing good judgement on when to call it quites, for good of the Church. The College of Cardinals should establish both a minimum and maxiumun age limits for future candidates to assure they are physically capable to take on the huge task of running the biggest private organization in the free world. There is a trend of Pope years in office. A Pope that serves for many years, is followed by one serving a short duration in this case 7 years. However, none have resigned from office since something like 1416, the rest have died in office.
2. This will provide a diversion for pp... when he refocuses his attention on the #1 PRIORITY... cut spending and don't add more tax revenue. Sequestering kicks in the day after Pope leaves office or March 1, 2013.
3-So why is pp mustering his troops to focus on gun control, which will never pass and immigration that has about the same odds of passing as the former issue in the near term. Diversion.

Wannabe CIA Director
1-No question the current candidate for CIA Director being vetted is well versed and qualified to the head up that post. As technology and tactics change, so must people. This is not always easy to discern for Cabinet and Director Posts since they are filled with political croneys of the president, with no experience. Look what we have in the WH now! The current guy in the center of the vetting process has been around the CIA and associated arena most all his career 25-30 years. Did he change you bet, for his first 20 -30 years as a worker bee, he promoted taking prisoners on the field of battle, grillimg them for intel, trial them, when finished they were released or went to a POW camps. Release came when liberated or when war was over. But there is no Congressional declaration war. Since donning political associatation with WH in 2008, the "POW" term has changed to "detainee" greatly and when the WH failed in #1 Promise to close Club Gitmo, the WH went on the drone killing spree...take no prisioners. Correction ONE prisioner was taken acording to record during the last four years. No human intelligence is made availble which will impact the USA down the road. The WH has became the Enforcer, Judge and the Executioner in one package of terrorist fate, including they may not be terrorist per se, abroad and could be on the home front. Congress has to get it's arms around a drone policy to keep the WH from takeing out anyone for the hell of it. Will the candidate pass muster...YES!
2-The guy I have serious doubt in vetting process is Hagel at SOD.

A New Day!
1-A couple of buds dropped by last night to free us of the dial up AOL with high speed Internet. Almost as important, the shackels of AOL's recent sister branch...LDP's Huffington Post is history.
2-Now I have no time to take a nap while download off the Internet. In zoom time it's there. Appropriatly named "Zoomtown.com" is up and running. Next task hookup MammaW's I-Pad. A couple of years ago we bought a HP wireless printer, just in case someday we had a remote device that could transmit a signal to the bunker for printing. Plan on closing that loop by w/e.
3-What do you say to the providers beyond thanks, for yanking us into the 21th Century.
3-Can't miss a political thought. SOD and Top General are testifing today before Senate committee on their version of the Benghazi killing now ~150 days old. My take away, the root cause for the loss of four defensible Americans was the previous witness...MP and up the food change.

Hello algore, we have a problem!
1-Planet Earth currently suffering of a bad case of acid reflux...there are four volcanoes popping at same time. This event probably impacts global warming someway?
2-The guy who knew nothing about auto manufacturing, who was tapped by WH Motors, early in pp's first tour issued a book, how great thou are! Saved GM from bankruptcy, prevented the nation's economy to go into deficit spending and debt? Reportly he was quoted in saying... you know GM has been around since WWII or so and it would be bad for the economy to let them go bankrupt? Huh! Really! By the way WH Motors still owes you and me some ~$22 B.
3-Toyoto and Nisson cutting production quotos on all battery operated autos. GM is building inventory.
4-What's catching fire (metaphoric speak) is the reto fitted hybid drive, added to the existing internal compustion engines. Ideal for fleet vhicles for FedEx, UPS, USPS. Consists of (LI-ion battery and a power pack) hooked to the drive train of conventional engines. USPS is also going to help by cutting s-mail to 6 days per week or 14% without doing anothing, but parking the delivery fleet for a da/wk.
5-If you hear a bussing noise in your ear(s) you might not have tintinabulation symotom, rather it's a WH Air Force drone circulating overhead for your "protection". Maybe that's what Rev. Jessie had in mine for city-state of Chicago? Blast the killers right in their tracks, with a Hellfire missile. Inforcement/ Judge/ Executioner wrapped in one.

"When the lighs go out".
1- The half-time show at the Super Bowl sucked all the electric out of electric grid of N.O., so some people think. Could of been the cause the stadium lights went out when second half begun for ~34 minutes. I think what might of happened during the black out, the 49-er's management called in the N.O. Saints players and suited them up in lieu of the 49er player because what squad players played the 2nd half preformed like recent champs. Another guess it was the out going S of E, last final act of his term in office. It wasn't pp for he was at Camp David shooting
2-Interesting Super Bowl game them there brothers' (them white real brothers) put on. Ended in playing keep away for almost 10 seconds to commit a safety, followed by a free kick to finally putting San Fran's lights out on the season.
3-The Rev Jessie wants Home Land Defense deployed to Sitting Bull's city-state to cut down the killing zones.
4-Sen Festerstein D-CA wants to band all assault weapons, even those issued to the proposed all women's combact platoons deployed soon to war zones, but excluding Sitting Bull's reservation.

"Dead Cat Bounce"
1-I trust all the LDP awakened this AM to breath in the Jan 2013's economic news, thought it was a flash back to 2009. Unemployment ticked up 0.1% to 7.9%, new jobs created ~150K, new unemployment filings up to ~350K, all adjusted for seasons variances. Wow!
2-For a moment, I wonder if all the minority groups and some hard liner LDP that rush to vote for the LDP ticket, paused to think they bet on the wrong horse? Again!
3-One CTPR economic advisor said of the Jan 2013 economic results as "dead cat bounce".
4-Senate approved a three month extension before serious talks begin on the debt and deficit cuts.
5-Speaking about dead cats, former US Senator Hagel R-NB got toasted yesterday applying for the S of D chair. This is just the kind of guy, pp wants in the job, a R plus a wimp, so he can walk all over him when he starts the slash and burn the D of D budget. Remember all cuts in military and domestic sectors spending add to the Jimmy Carter misery index.
6-There is a bumpy road ahead.
