Stolen from a forum I check out periodically:

 God promised men that good and obedient women would be found in all corners of the world.

And then He made the earth round.

Seems that Government Motors CANT GIVE THE VOLT AWAY.

Apparently they can’t sell them, unlike other “normal” cars.

Dealers don’t want ’em, for whatever reason.

Yet, strangely, the Japanese and Ford hybrids leap off the lot.

Today was the day the gods gifted us with the genius that was John M.Browning.

I own several examples of his genius.

Or is he subject to the same rules, regulations, and judicial orders that the rest of us are?

We shall soon see.

This should be interesting.

I meant to post this yesterday.

On Jan 20th, 1942, the decision was finalized to completely eradicate an entire people from Europe.

Himmler and Hitler, and many others, at the Wansee Conference in Berlin, chaired by Richard Heydrich, finalized the plans for the Final Solution.

Something that we should remember….Much evil lurks in the hearts of some men.

If we forget, it can (and will) happen again.

(Note, it is being attempted in several places in Africa, just in a much less organized or industrial way.)

Who determines how much profit a company can make?

Apparently, people who think that they know more than the rest of us.

Socialists, all of them. They think that they can decide how much profit is too much.
Soon, they’ll be telling you how much salary you can make. And these things will be decided by a board of people accountable to no one. People that they decide should make those decisions.

And, lets not forget that, likely, you own bits and pieces of those companies they are going to limit the profits on….if not directly through your portfolio, then through your 401K and other retirement investments.

Look: I’d like to see gas prices drop, and I’d like to return to the days when I could fill up my tank for less than a Franklin. I’d like to return to the days of muscle cars. I’d like to go back to when $5.00 could let me cruise the strip for all night with my friends.

But to limit the profit that these companies make, to pass legislation where a select group of unelected “experts” decides what is enough profit for any single corporation is madness. It places too much power in the hands of people who have no right to determine the earnings of a company. It leads to a very steep and slippery slope, wherein each of us must ask politely for a decent return on our investment, be it time, labor, or dollars. Who will be next? Farmers? Stores? Factories? Why should anyone invest in anything if there is no incentive to do so? When there is no reward?

The actual amount of profit that the oil companies, the shippers, distributors, and retail outlets (individuals, all) makes on a gallon of gas is less than the taxes that the feds and the state steal from charge you. The rate of return is minuscule per gallon.

In another time, Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) and his co conspirators would have been branded “red” and hounded out of the government. Or horsewhipped for admitting that he even thought about such legislation.

How do even let these people into government?

Y’know, sometimes people are stupid. Sometimes they are led/influenced by stupid people. Like the news media.

We have had, here in the greater Chicago metro area, a fairly mild winter so far. For most of November and nearly all of December, we were above freezing and had very little precipitation fall as snow.

The past few days have been somewhat cold, reaching (gasp!) single digit temps. (really unusual for JANU!ARY). Today, warmer air is flowing up from the south, leading to a predicted 8″ of snow possible for some parts of the are in the next 24 hours.

People are panicking. People are cancelling travel plans. Some schools are closing, with cold and snow as the reason.

Over 8″ of snow.
In a 24 hour period.
In the midwest.
In January.

Jesus
What weak sisters we have living here.

Santorum did win the Iowa caucus.

But the GOP really only cares about their chosen boy, Mittens.

Santorum isn’t the chosen one. They lied. You don’t think that this had an effect going into New Hampshire?

Romney is getting the support of the GOP national folks. And he’s gonna lose to Obama.
