Sneak preview - new book deal.....from Rico
It's pretty impressive actually. The first pResident of the US to get a "book deal" before taking office. This may be very forward-looking on the part of the publisher, since many of us expect Obameinfuhrer's 'accomplishments' will not be good ones. Why hurt his feelings by refusing a book deal after-the-fact?
A well-placed anonymous source of mine has acquired a copy of the book dust cover art for me. It is not very surprising, but it IS descriptive of the substance of the man. Enjoy!

At the White House.......
Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes and says: “Nice pigs, sir.”
The President replies “These are not pigs…these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi.”
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes and says, ”Excellent trade, sir.”

Rico writes: 'Gone Wild'......
Where are you Snoop Dog?
This is potentially BIGGER than your "Girls Gone Wild" shtik. I call it "Commies Gone Wild!"
Congress is on FULL DISPLAY as a den of criminality and malfeasance. A collection of aging, clueless, smugly incompetent, corrupt, and self-serving demi-Communists. The recent Stalinesque show trials clearly demonstrate that we now have a "political class" of aging hippies and 60's Aquarian flower children who are on a permanent LSD-flashback cum power-trip who have warped the representative American system to become NOT servants (employees if you will) of we-the-people, but an Uber-class of Masters of the people....our new Tsars ruling over we-the-serfs!
Monetary and currency policy is only ONE of the weapons now being used to wage war on America and reshape its ideology and political course into a sick and twisted dystopia of Chicago politics infused with Marxism. Ergo: Communists Gone Wild.
Take a look at today's chart of US money supply and tell me it's not so.
For those who attended government-run schools and cannot 'read' charts, go to the library and check out a book by Sinclair Lewis titled "It Can't Happen Here." It may still be on the shelves. Maybe. It's an 'old' book.
The ones who still prize their individualism and personal liberty are already rediscovering Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and figuring out for themselves 'who' John Galt was (is).
For a very few "in the know" I direct you to ObaMarx's DIRECTIVE NUMBER 1404.10 of 23Jan09 [DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce] identifying a subset of the DoD civilian workforce for operational requirements. DoDD 3000.05 (Ref (b)).

Thought for the Day....
Just how much help is Obama getting from Tony Blair?
Blair was the first 'person of importance' to meet Obama. Everything Obama has done reeks of Blairs first days in power in 1997. The media thingy, the rushing through of really silly policies without any kind of debate. There is something way too familiar about their first days in power. Has Obama 'borrowed' Blairs strategy or are they working in cahoots?
Question....
At work we are starting to get a shed load of spam e-mails. We have the full AVG anti virus thingy, but it isn't nailing the spam. What is the best freeware anti spam program going?

Let's have that TEA PARTY now.......by Rico
I for one am ready. YES! Let's HAVE that TEA PARTY now, shall we?
This is my intended contribution to the mailing effort intended to deluge 1600 Pennsylvania on April 15th...unless, of course, I can 'improve' on it before then. Any suggestions?
I wonder if this is too subtle a message for the President? Maybe we can get it displayed on his teleprompter?
More Liberty, Less Government, Lower Taxes
Hmmmmm. I'll have to work on that.........
