Here’s wonderboy Bobby Jindal a few weeks ago, responding to Obama’s SOTU, trying to drum up some talk-radio style faux-populist rage:

While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes … $140 million for something called “volcano monitoring.” Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

And here’s actual reality from Sarah Palin’s state this week:

Alaska’s Mt. Redoubt Volcano, which had been in a tempestuous mood for two months, erupted Sunday night at 10:38 p.m., sending an ash cloud 50,000 feet above sea level and prompting several flight cancelations.

Is Everyone Constipated?

Post Preponderance, by Pat Darnell

With all due respect -- why would anyone call the financial bailout "The Stimulus Package?" For example in this Letter to Obama "stimulus package" appears a dozen times. Does it mean we are going BROWN before we go GREEN? MooPig wants to know.

Letter to Obama | by • Posted January 26, 2009 05:19 PM | [SOURCE]
Forty-nine American Nobel laureates and other distinguished American scientists call the president's attention to the importance of increasing federal funding for scientific research.

Dear President Obama,
We know that the focus of the stimulus package is on short-term spending over 1-2 years, without long-term commitments of federal money. There are many urgent needs for short-term spending on science, such as infrastructure spending and bridge grants to allow research to continue until longer-term funding proposals are successful.

Funding for science and engineering creates good jobs throughout the local community: Families USA has estimated, for example, that each $1 billion of NIH research grant funding creates over 15,000 jobs with an average wage of $52,000/year and generates $2.21 billion of new business activity, a much better "multiplier" than many other proposed parts of the stimulus package.

Spending on science, engineering and technology will be only a relatively small part of a larger stimulus package, yet it will make a vital contribution to America's future. Increases in science spending provide an excellent stimulus while the economy needs one. But as you must appreciate, to rebuild American science, science spending will need to be sustained even when the economy returns to health. We know it is your goal to restore funding for science to the levels needed to maintain the vigor and leadership of American scientific research. We believe that the forthcoming economic stimulus package provides a remarkable opportunity to initiate this effort immediately, forcefully, and productively.... (read it all HERE)

The Constipation of the United States of America
by Phil Harris

An irregular diet and lots of stress seems like a perfect recipe for constipation. Sometimes, when we get too complicated in treating ailments, there are unforeseen, rebound effects that can be worse than the original symptoms. One can always make a case for using natural remedies whenever possible; leading ultimately to a steady, lasting improvement.

The United States of America is suffering from a severe case of social and political constipation. Liberals, such as Barak Obama and so many of the democrats who are in control of Congress are addicted to invasive remedies.

Stimulate This!!Okay last word: We're going BROWN.... with Obama's Package.

Stimulus Bill

by Pat Darnell

I thought it was a new nickname for Bill Clinton. I realize after being president and all, there is some desire to go into other fields, if one still has his health, mental and otherwise. Jimmy Carter became a philanthropist of highest order, right up there with Mother Teresa; Habitat for Jimmy, a habit for Mother T.

We do have people we admire, and well Bill is most admired for tempting treason while he deflowered interns with his cigar in the Oval Office. Now that may be rampaging patriotic, and bold, and Jeffersonian... but it does lend a certain taint on a Philanthropic Career from the outset. Bill Clinton is second only to himself and the re-invention of the stimulus that will unlock the blockage up there in the colon of America, Washington, DC, that is. But really:

Stimulus Bill is actually a 2009 A.O., After Obama, law by Barry Obama, paced to bring the financial world back online after its collective vacation taking, eating rich food from foreign lands, and achieving swelling around the ankles not before seen in this hemisphere...

What Me Worry? ...comic relief glances by Bill Clinton are not warranted. Once a person is given the ignoble task of throwing around Solomon's wealth for eight years, long range is the dubious end to that. Long range gathers around the source of dismal planning like the storm of the century. In engineering... let's see we used to call it... Piss Poor Previous Planning, 4P, that is.

To keep bridges from falling, and cities from flooding, a bigger picture lies in waiting to be viewed if not by transient politicians. In USA it seems Americans plan for the 90 day cycle. In other places like the Orient, the plan is 50 years at a time. In Japan there has been recession since the late 1980's. How do you suppose they conquer almost twenty years of recession, and maintain 7 automobile manufacturers?

Japan as a collective culture has the mindset of a long term existence. While Americans are trying to find a way to sweep under the rug the extra 22% finance charges accruing in their credit card accounts every 25 days... Japanese practice a low tech method of saving 40% of their gross pay to bolster their high tech industry. That's how: forty centavos on the dollar e.

Not so much unlike living in a bubble like Japanese do, we Americans are trading off our self-respect, causing the bubble to surround us regardless, "distracted by a heavy bloated feeling."

The Constipation of the United States of America
by Phil Harris

We all have a picture in mind of how life ought to be. Perhaps it is not so much a picture; but rather, a strong inkling of what life in America should feel like if all was well and things were running along smoothly. In any case, no matter how each of us perceives that blissful state of being, it is obvious that we are not experiencing it.

Life moves on, of course, and by outward appearances we are living as we always have. The alarm goes off; we clean up and head for work or school, each with a uniquely personal measure of enthusiasm. There is lunch, some afternoon drowsiness, and soon another day is in the bag.

Yet, there is something different today. It is a feeling of not being quite right; not precisely on top of the game. Our daily grind is faced with a bit less energy, a little less bounce in our step, and an extra glance or two over the shoulder. When we sit back and ponder the future, we are distracted by a heavy bloated feeling that hinders us from reveling in our dreams.

Government IS the blockage
If you support federally funded:
public schools
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Welfare
WIC
public roads
public housing
ad nauseum

Then YOU are to blame, not the marxist left, or the mercantilist right. But YOU.

Looking to government to cure whatever social ills or needs that exist is like empowering a thief in the name of stopping thievery.

Read the Constitution; Article 1, Section 8. If you can find a specifically enumerated (that means 'written down' for you public school kids) power, then Congress has the right to get involved.

Your kids are already obligated for trillions and trillions of unfunded future obligations. If they're not yet old enough to vote, it seems like a case of "taxation without representation" to me.

I think it's time to do some house cleaning...bring your pitchforks, torches and a guillotine and we'll get started on the Mall in D.C.
