Newfie Love Poem
Of course I loves ya darling
You're a bloody top notch bird
And when I say yer gorgeous
I means every single word
So yer ass is on the big side
I don't mind a bit of flab
It means that when I'm ready
There's somethin there to grab
So yer belly isn't flat no more
I tell ya, I don't care
So long as when I cuddle ya
I can get my arms round dere
No woman yer age
Has a nice round perky bust
They just gave in to gravity
But I know ya did what ya must
I'm tellin ya the truth now
I never tells ya lies
I think its very sexy
Dat you've got dimples on yer thighs
I swear on me grannies grave
From the moment that we met
I thought you was as good as
I was ever gonna get
No matter what you look like
I'll always love ya dear
Now shut up while the hockey's on
And get me a nudder beer.

Out with the old, In with..........from Rico
We've all heard the expression "out with the old, in with the new."
Put another way, how about "out with the old toxic debt, in with the new toxic government?"
OR
Forget about BANKS that are "too big to fail" and focus instead on a GOVERNMENT that is "too big to shrink!"
The Great Depression? Nawwwww...
With a seated Congress that is visibly racing one-another to not be last in line for The Great Gang-rape of the American taxpayer, you can pretty safely guess that unless something is done about them in Nov 2010 [like throw the bums out; read: if you're IN, you're OUT]
- nothing is gonna change for the better and the taxpayers had better get used to 'standing' while the tax-spenders and tax-consumers sit on their asses.

Tea Party success or epic fail?
TeaParty Revolution brewing or just weak tea over at PJM. I ponder if the tea party movement has actually achieved anything. Furthermore I question where exactly they are headed now.

NEVER SURRENDER
Of the maxims of the Philosophy of STORMBRINGER:
'When you find yourself in a fight, the stupidest thing to do is ANYTHING BUT try to win, by whatever means possible.
When you and your team become involved in battle, you MUST have the mindset that there is NOTHING ELSE BUT to win, for the alternative is unacceptable.
When a nation finds itself in a war, to do ANYTHING BUT whatever it takes to win is beyond criminal; it is unconscionable.'

The Plan, The Scam, The Man
Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together? 
THE SCAM
Here is what a learned friend had to say about Democratic Math. It's even worse apparently than I first thought:
It's way worse than that. Ignore all the gas crap and just look at how the stupid car buyer got taken to the cleaners:
If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you get $4500 off for an apparent "savings" of $1000.
However, you have to pay taxes on the $4500 come April 15th (something that no auto dealer will tell you). If you are in the 30% tax bracket, you will pay $1350 on that $4500.
So, rather than save $1000, you actually pay an extra $350 to the feds. In addition, you traded in a car that was most likely paid for. Now you have 4 or 5 years of payments on a car that you did not need, that was costing you less to run than the payments that you will now be making.
But wait; it gets even better: you also got ripped off by the dealer. For example, in LA every dealer was selling a Ford Focus with all the goodies, including A/C, auto transmission, power windows, etc for $12,500 the month before the "cash for clunkers" program started.
When "cash for clunkers" came along, they stopped discounting them and instead sold them at the list price of $15,500. So, you paid $3000 more than you would have the month before... (Honda, Toyota , and Kia played the same list price game that Ford and Chevy did).
So let's do the final tally here:
You traded in a car worth: $3500
You got a discount of: $4500
---------
Net so far +$1000
But you have to pay: $1350 in taxes on the $4500
--------
Net so far: -$350
And you paid: $3000 more than the car was selling for the month before
----------
Net -$3350
We could also add in the additional taxes (sales tax, state tax, etc.) on the extra $3000 that you paid for the car, along with the 5 years of interest on the car loan, but let's just stop here..
So who actually made out on the deal? The feds collected taxes on the car along with taxes on the $4500 they "gave" you. The car dealers made an extra $3000 or more on every car they sold along with the kickbacks from the manufacturers and the loan companies. The manufacturers got to dump lots of cars they could not give away the month before. And the poor, stupid consumer got saddled with even more debt that they cannot afford.
Obama and his band of merry men convinced Joe consumer that he was getting $4500 in "free" money from the "government" when in fact, Joe was giving away his $3500 car and paying an additional $3350 for the privilege.
Think this was stupid for those who were crazy enough to swallow this wonderful scheme?
Just wait until we get health care with no additional costs over what most of us now pay for health insurance and the best medical care in the world. Think that scheme might be designed by the same people who came up with Cash for Clunkers?
Never trust the Government . . . . . . . . . . . . . STORMBRINGER
