Hope And Change

This can stop Nov. 2012.
                                   
                                

Nearly a year and a half into the economic recovery, some 43.6 million Americans continued to rely on food stamps in November.

More than 14% of the population drew food stamps in November to purchase groceries as high unemployment and muted wage growth crimped budgets. The number of recipients was up 0.9% from October, according to the new report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Compared to a year ago, the number of people receiving food stamps was up 14.2%.

This should never happen America.........

The Party Of Thieves

Ah hell, he worked for Kennedy.
                                   
                                

Sen. Edward Kennedy’s (D-Mass.) former office manager was convicted on Tuesday of stealing more than $75,000 from the Senate.

Ngozi Pole was found guilty on five counts of wire fraud and one count of theft of government property. For at least 4 years, Pole submitted fraudulent paperwork that caused the Senate to pay him larger bonus payments than either Kennedy or his chief of staff had approved, according to the Justice Department.

U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan set sentencing for July 14 and released Pole on his own recognizance.
Huh? Average Joe post bail or goes to the clink.........

The Impossible Nut

Rules out that janitor gig.......
Rupert doesn't like to fire folks twice.

                                   

MURDOCH: No. We fired him once, we don't believe in firing people twice.

CAVUTO: You called him a "nut."

MURDOCH: Well, he was a nut on -- on -- we had him on late night FOX Sports for many months, I think. He's impossible.

Ground Hog Day

Around here if that little rat see's his shadow(and the rodent will today) it means nothing. Winter ends in May.......

                                   

Although after a low this morning of -23 below zero, and wind chill of -38 we are going to experience some of that global warming and rise to a balmy 9 above and perhaps the 20's by the weekend......
As for me, I have cabin fever and will go find some heat in the near future.     
                                   

I have never been on a cruise, I am going, I can't take anymore cold.......I gotta go where its warm!


                                                       
Update:
Oops, looks like -23 wasn't good enough...... currently -29. Good grief.
