			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>So the Pelosi-Monstrosity has passed the House. Here is a list of 220 members of the House who voted for that hideousness: <a title="FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 887" href="http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll887.xml#Y" target="_self">http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll887.xml#Y</a>. Just remember them when their seats come up for reelection. They should be send back home. Give money to their Conservative opponents, volunteer, do anything so that they lose and we never again see them in Congress.<br />
Next time they should try their luck somewhere else &#8211; maybe move to Cuba and run for a Government seat there.</p>
<p>BTW, I am still waiting for the remaining $1000 that Barack Hussein Obama <a title="What do you think about Obama’s tax cut promises?" href="http://whatsarugula.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/what-do-you-think-about-obamas-tax-cut-promises/" target="_self">promised me in tax cuts this year</a> (not that I ever believed it).</p>
<p>To all the dopes who voted for Obama and now feel buyer&#8217;s remorse: Next time remember not to believe every word that comes out of a politician&#8217;s mouth.</p>

Bring your protest signs and indignant taxpayer attitude with you to the rally at the outside stage at The Cowtown Bar &amp; Grill on Friday, the 27th of February, from 3pm to 7pm, located at <a title="Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=7108+Camp+Bowie+Blvd+Fort+Worth,+TX+76116&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;split=0&amp;gl=us&amp;ei=CwOgSdi9MoGCtweHvPWGDQ&amp;ll=32.718988,-97.440491&amp;spn=0.196417,0.240669&amp;z=12">7108 Camp Bowie Blvd Fort Worth, TX 76116</a> (817) 570-7910 We hope to have a guest speaker there from KLIF radio. The &#8220;Desert Son Band&#8221; will be performing on the outside stage with their original music and some covers appropriate for the rally. Food and drink will be available for purchase.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be notifying the TV media about the rally, as well. Check out what&#8217;s been going on around the Country:</p>
<p><a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/20/rebel-yell-taxpayers-revolt-against-gimme-mania/">http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/20/rebel-yell-taxpayers-revolt-against-gimme-mania/</a></p>
<p>Please tell everyone you know about the event. The only way for us to be heard, is to spread the word. I&#8217;ll be putting out flyers, advertising on the internet (like this), and I&#8217;ve already been on the air with JD Wells at KLIF radio, plugging the event. If anyone knows any celebrities that would like to speak, please let me know, and we&#8217;ll schedule them in.</p>
<p>****COME HAVE A GREAT TIME, AT THE TEA PARTY &#8216;09******</p></blockquote>

<p>Some ideas for protest signs (saw them somewhere on Internet):</p>
<ul>
<li>Why don&#8217;t you ask Rezko to help them get a house they can&#8217;t afford?</li>
<li>Why doesn&#8217;t Dodd get Country Wide to give them the same deal he got?</li>

<p>Here are other reactions that I came across on the Internet:</p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;m girding my loins.</li>
<li>Most politicians are soulless, power-hungry bastards, but Obama takes it to a whole new level.  Especially point one.</li>
<li>My god America is in the hands of meglomaniacal idiot<br />
Last week the economy was on the verge of collaps and catastrophe.  Now today, he tells us its &#8220;the begining of the end&#8221; of our troubles.. ? huh?  This guy is an overratred affirmative action hire that everyone is so willing to believe in.  In the back of everyones mind, however.. we know he&#8217;s an idiot.</li>
<li>I swear I&#8217;m ready to cry watching this joke of a POTUS</li>
<li>So far Obama hasn&#8217;t inspired the DOW to go higher with his &#8220;we&#8217;re the government and we&#8217;re here to help you&#8221; comedy act.</li>
<li>I love this idea that he is going to restore fiscal discipline while signing this bill. The Audacity of Bullshit.</li>
<li>Being broke is fun!</li>
<li>This guy is a joke.</li>
<li>I could feel my wallet getting lighter just watching it. I will make a mental note of this day for my grandchildren when the last few nails were put into the coffin for a formally free country.</li>
<li>I want to cry, but I just turned the heat down some more to save money, and I’m afraid the tears might freeze in my eyes.</li>
<li>Precedent B Hussein is going to drag this country straight down the chasm with his stupidity. He will be one of the most reviled people in history &#8211; and the morons who voted for him will stand as those who threw away the greatest nation to have ever existed &#8211; for NOTHING. Thanks, morons.</li>
<li>I can’t wait for my extra $13.00 a week.<br />
I’ll be able to buy that pack of gum and 2 liter of pop I’ve been eyeing since Christmas.</li>
<li>$61 B for Protecting the Vulnerable<br />
I can be vunerable if you want me too where do I sign up for my million.</li>
<li>I feel so fulfilled now… I will now go the the nearest McDonalds to spend my 13 bucks tax relief on two “crappy” meals. Then I will go get a case of vodka to wash it down, Maybe by the time I am sober this will have all passed.</li>
<li>Free magic unicorns for everyone!!!</li>
<li>All of the markets are dropping like stone baloons.<br />
At this rate I should be able to retire by the the age of… oh, about 127.<br />
Thanks, Ogabe!</li>
<li>Where do I go now to get my gas tank filled and my government subsidized mortgage payment coupons?</li>
<li>Yaaayyy! Where’s my Obamamuny!?</li>
<li>Tragic just freaking tragic!!!</li>
<li>What we really need is to create a government agency to do a study on the best way to spend our additional $13 a week! Then the dems can tell us, the moronic masses, where we should invest the money we just stole from our grandchildren!</li>
<li>I feel like I’m in the Twighlight Zone.<br />
How did this guy get elected again?</li>
<li>Have I missed the moment of silence? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>I am going to use my $8-13 bucks each week to fatten myself up so I have some reserves to pull from &#8211; got to be ready for the bread lines….</li>
<li>Imagine this scenario. A world wide recession worsening daily and we elect a man to turn it around whose only known talent is talking. That couldn’t happen in the real world, could it?</li>
<li>Have no fear, in the hands of this great man, we’ll ALL be the vulnerable before long.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>For Christmas and Birthday this year my mom sent our children some presents and advent calenders. Knowing from experience that an air-mail parcel takes 3+ weeks to travel from Germany to Texas she mailed it already on November 3rd. Finally, December 1st we got the parcel. It turns out that someone opened it (which was easy because standard boxes that you get at German Post Office are pretty flimsy) and stole 48 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise">Kinder Surprise</a> eggs from two boxes.</p>
<div id="attachment_585" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 520px"><a href="http://whatsarugula.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/stolen_chocolate.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-585" title="stolen_chocolate" src="http://whatsarugula.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/stolen_chocolate.jpg?w=510&#038;h=339" alt="Kinder Surprise Advent Calender boxes opened by a vile postal worker." width="510" height="339" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kinder Surprise Advent Calender boxes opened by a vile postal worker.</p></div>
<p>Some postal worker opened one side of the parcel box, took out the two Advent Calenders, cut them open, took out the plastic trays with chocolate eggs, and then stuffed the empty paper boxes into the parcel. Each box of chocolates was worth about 15 Euro (about $20). Fortunately, the other stuff from the parcel (Hello Kitty doll, etc.) was not stolen.</p>
<p>What a debased and vile person it must have been to steal chocolates from a parcel that was clearly meant for children. I hope that he/she will be among the <a href="http://www.govcentral.com/news/articles/4556-postal-service-looks-to-cut-40000-jobs">40,000 postal workers that are going to be laid off</a>.</p>
<p>BTW, I am also not impressed with how long it takes for the postal service to deliver an air-mail parcel from Germany to Texas. Especially that my mom paid exorbitant amount of money for the shipping.</p>
<div id="attachment_586" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 451px"><a href="http://whatsarugula.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/dhl_usps_tracking.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-586" title="dhl_usps_tracking" src="http://whatsarugula.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/dhl_usps_tracking.jpg?w=441&#038;h=273" alt="Almost a month for an air-mail parcel to travel from Germany to Texas" width="441" height="273" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Almost a month for an air-mail parcel to travel from Germany to Texas</p></div>
<p>(Or maybe this is what the promised &#8220;redistribution of wealth&#8221; is to look like. It is starting early, even before Obama is a President.)</p>

<p>FORASMUCH as it is the indispensable Duty of     all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with     Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received, and to implore such farther     Blessings as they stand in Need of: And it having pleased him in his abundant Mercy, not     only to continue to us the innumerable Bounties of his common Providence; but also to     smile upon us in the Prosecution of a just and necessary War, for the Defense and     Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties; particularly in that he hath been     pleased, in so great a Measure, to prosper the Means used for the Support of our Troops,     and to crown our Arms with most signal success:</p>
<p>It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive Powers of these UNITED STATES     to set apart THURSDAY, the eighteenth Day of December next, for SOLEMN THANKSGIVING and     PRAISE: That at one Time and with one Voice, the good People may express the grateful     Feelings of their Hearts, and consecrate themselves to the Service of their Divine     Benefactor; and that, together with their sincere Acknowledgments and Offerings, they may     join the penitent Confession of their manifold Sins, whereby they had forfeited every     Favor; and their humble and earnest Supplication that it may please GOD through the Merits     of JESUS CHRIST, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of Remembrance; That it may     please him graciously to afford his Blessing on the Governments of these States     respectively, and prosper the public Council of the whole: To inspire our Commanders, both     by Land and Sea, and all under them, with that Wisdom and Fortitude which may render them     fit Instruments, under the Providence of Almighty GOD, to secure for these United States,     the greatest of all human Blessings, INDEPENDENCE and PEACE: That it may please him, to     prosper the Trade and Manufactures of the People, and the Labor of the Husbandman, that     our Land may yield its Increase: To take Schools and Seminaries of Education, so necessary     for cultivating the Principles of true Liberty, Virtue and Piety, under his nurturing     Hand; and to prosper the Means of Religion, for the promotion and enlargement of that     Kingdom, which consisteth &#8220;in Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost.&#8221;</p>
<p>And it is further recommended, that servile Labor and Recreation, although at     other Times innocent, may be unbecoming the Purpose of this Appointment, be omitted on so     solemn an Occasion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This is what Chicago Tribune reports today: <a title="Barack Obama a 'family friend'" href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/obama/chi-bill-ayers-barack-obama-book,0,1806710.story">Bill Ayers: Barack Obama a &#8216;family friend&#8217;</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>In a new afterword to his memoir, 1960s radical William <strong>Ayers describes himself as a &#8220;family friend&#8221; of President-elect Barack Obama</strong> and writes that the campaign controversy over their relationship was an effort by Obama&#8217;s political enemies to &#8220;deepen a dishonest narrative&#8221; about the candidate.</p>
<p>Ayers describes phone threats and hate e-mail he received during the campaign, and he bemoans Obama&#8217;s guilt by association.</p>
<p>During the campaign, Ayers&#8217; friendship with Obama was a favorite subject of conservative bloggers and talk show hosts who insisted the two were closer than the candidate was admitting. <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Ayers&#8217; new description of the relationship seems to contradict Obama&#8217;s statements.</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Obama had dismissed Ayers as &#8220;a guy who lives in my neighborhood&#8221;</strong> and &#8220;somebody who worked on education issues in Chicago that I know.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Obama is indeed a very talented individual. He possesses a very exquisite skill to lie without technically lying. And we are a very special country &#8211; full of suckers who bought snake oil.</p>
