Obama Would ‘Rather Be Really Good One-Term President’

Rather that than What?
The worst 1 term President?
The only man to be tossed out of office over his birthplace?
The first President to be a lame duck during his first year in office?

Or just anything else that is possible?

Because clearly what he would rather be is impossible.

Another Obama song

The Tax man cometh!
Let me tell you
How it will be.
There’s one for you,
Nineteen for me,

‘Cause I’m the taxman.
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Should five percent
Appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t
Take it all.

‘Cause I’m the taxman.
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

If you drive a car,
I’ll tax the street.
If you drive to city,
I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold,
I’ll tax the heat.
If you take a walk,
I’ll tax your feet.

Taxman!

‘Cause I’m the taxman.
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Don’t ask me what I want it for,
(Uh-uh, Mr. Reid.)
If you don’t want to pay some more.
(Uh-uh, Mr. Obama.)

‘Cause I’m the taxman.
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

And my advice to
Those who die.
(Taxman!)
Declare the pennies
On your eyes.
(Taxman!)

‘Cause I’m the taxman.
Yeah, I’m the taxman,
And you’re working for no one but me.
(Taxman!)

The Beatles were not my favorite sixties band – but their lyrics were right on in this case

THE Funeral – Ted Kennedy

Ted Kennedy has died. He is to be buried in Arlington cemetary.

My mother (at whose house I labored all day  today) taught me “to never speak ill of the dead” and “If you can’t say anything nice – don’t say anything at all!”

OK Mom.

Earmarks, Bailouts and Stimulus projects – what is the difference?

Democrats have been quoted as vowing not to pack “Earmarks” into the stimulus package bills they are pushing through Congress. “If it walks like a Duck…”

Among the list of state and local “infrastructure projects” that look to be the main body of what the Dems are proposing are – a “Mob Museum” in Las Vegas, new City Halls, new Town halls, expensive on ramps and probably several “bridges to nowhere”. What exactly is their definition of earmark? Must be that an earmark is something a Conservative might accuse a Democrat of pushing through to buy votes while a “local – shovel ready infrastructure project” is something a Dem can push through to buy votes in 2010.

These infrastructure projects are simply earmarks on a grand scale. Instead of packing a bill with all sorts of unrelated pork for their special interest friends, the Democrats in Congress are proposing huge bills that are 100% pork – no added “fillers”. Maybe they will really turn the process upside down and sneak some real – needed legislation into these pork barrels in the dark of night!
