My Latest Prediction. Want to Bet?

Posted on 11/05/2011 by Grumpa Joe

A year ago I posted the above  cartoon about the Gulf oil spill. I predicted that BP would solve the problem sooner than the government would do anything to stop the spill of money they borrow. Well, I’m here to tell you, the government hasn’t stopped the borrowing, and the oil leak is fixed. When I drew the cartoon the debt was 13 trillion dollars, now it is 14 trillion. They can spend money faster than I can draw cartoons.

My latest prediction is that the 172 million gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf will break down into its natural organic components before the government balances its budget, eliminates the deficit, and begins to live within its means.

A New Energy Policy

Posted on 22/06/2010 by Grumpa Joe

It is hard to believe that in the sixty-plus days since the BP oilrig blew up that no one has coined the phrase Barack Petroleum. A while back, I posted apiece titled Big Fat Lie in which I postulated that the oil rig blow up was a government sponsored conspiracy. I claimed it was a save-face cover for POTUS to rescind his generous relinquishment of off shore drilling. There was no doubt; my theory was so far out it fell into the category of a Big Fat Lie.

As the oil continues to spew into the Gulf and the politics of it begins to unfold, I am leaning to another big fat lie theory. This one has the Administration sending Navy Seals to blow up the rig, but the rationale is different. This time, it is because POTUS wants to take over BP. Why is that? He wants to add an energy company to his growing stable of government controlled or owned companies: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Goldman Sachs, Student Loan Program, Chrysler, GM, and Health Care Insurance. What else does he want? Perhaps, he will add your soul and mine too.

 POTUS put the gun to BP’s head and extorted twenty billion dollars from them as payment toward the lost wages of the coastal residents. The clean-up costs are extra. A few more payments and he will have another trillion to deposit into a Swiss bank account for retirement. The company will have to give him stock to make a payment like that.

Is it the big fat lie syndrome, or is it I? Is it coincidence? Or, is it Rahm’s theory that every catastrophe becomes an opportunity to build a bigger government?

New U.S.A. Problem Solving Policy

Posted on 12/06/2010 by Grumpa Joe

 


Our super elite socialist president has again shown his true colors. This week he instituted the new U.S.A. problem solving methodology. He is going to “kick some ass.” Big Government’s ability to stop the oil gusher in the Gulf is nil. With all the Czars in his Cabinet, they have not produced a single viable solution to stop the leak, except to send Eric Holder to Louisiana. Evidently, a threat of arrest by the government will spur BP to plug the hole.

I have some suggestions for Obama. If he wants to kick some ass, he should start with this list:

Helen Thomas, for her cute remark about sending the Jews back home. Does she know that Jews have lived in that area for thousands of years? I forgot, Liberals do not believe in studying history.
North Korea, for sinking a South Korean ship, and getting away with it.
Mexico, for sending their citizens across our borders by the millions to keep from having to feed them.
Congress, for being a bunch of mindless ass kissers who rubber-stamp anything Obama wants.
Akmadinejad, for disregarding sanctions and warnings about proceeding with nuclear weapons.
Extremist Muslims, for declaring “holy war” on the USA.
George Soros, for spending so much money on the Socialization of America.
The ACLU, for their effort to take all references to God out of government.
The scientists who spread their phony global warming data around the world.
Barbara Boxer, for her comment that CO2 is a threat to national security. If she is so concerned about it, she should stop breathing, we would all be better off.
I can go on forever with ass kicking solutions, but the single largest ass kicking should go toward drop kicking Obama, and his radical ideas for change, out of office.

Approval Required?

Posted on 29/05/2010 by Grumpa Joe

Yep, he is in charge. It is his problem. He and his administration have been on it since day one. I don’t buy it at all. If he has been on it since day one, then why are the people of Louisiana begging for him to approve a measure that might prevent the ugly oil to breach their pristine beaches and estuaries?

“We want to make sure that what we are doing is the right thing,” he responds. We don’t want to throw money at a problem that doesn’t work.

In my fifty plus years on the job, if we had a plausible solution to a problem we tried it. Sometimes it cost a fortune, at other times it cost zip.  The cost usually didn’t mean squat if we were unable to ship product and our customers were waiting. The management gurus all preach “don’t be afraid to fail. Or, if you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough.”  The trick is to develop a record that has better than a 50% success rate. If you do that you are trying and succeeding.

Because POTUS lacks any real job experience, he doesn’t have a sense of urgency when it comes to solving real problems. His focus is directed toward creating a new “World Order.” One in which “we the people will be slaves” to the third world nations that are still trying to learn how to read.

When the Pilgrims landed on the shores of North America, they had very little in the way of resources. They did have brain power. Using their brains, and energy, they built a country called the United States of America. Historians will claim that they built the country on the backs of black slaves brought here to work against their will. That did happen, but I believe the USA would have happened even if slavery never existed.
