Boring Stimulus Facts that Will Change Our Lives
Ever get a big wad of unexpected cash fom somewhere? Were you conflicted as to what to do with it, whether to just go out and blow it, pay off bills, or save it for a rainy day?
The Obama administration had no such conflict, no doubts at all as to what to do with the $862 billion windfall it got its hands on as a result of the critically-needed 657 page stimulus bill last year, to which Democrats assigned the grandiose title of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Like any good drunken Democrat, they pissed it away.
The result has been no economic recovery, no “reinvestment,” (whatever that meant), and certainly no stimulus felt by the economy or the American people. Employment remains at an intolerable 9.5% a full 17 months after Obama’s stimulus package was passed by Obama’s Democrat congress and after the president promised that its passage would keep the unemployment rate at 8% or less.
One could say that we were snookered except for the fact that the snookering, as well as all the other Obamian boondoggles perpetrated on the American people, will not only affect us, the taxpayers. Our kids and grandkids will be paying off much of the tab into the next century.
And now Obama and his merry band of spendthrift Democrats want yet another “stimulus package” to piss away.
The inmates have clearly taken over the asylum.
Republicans, who also screwed up during the Bush years with their irrational exuberance for spending our and our kids’ and grandkids’ hard-earned bucks, have nothing to crow about but at least the deficits they built up during those years were believable if obscene. . .

Then Again, Maybe Not: Of Rats and Ratholes
Then Again, Maybe Not: Of Rats and Ratholes
We’re all entitled to change our minds. Given the fallibility of the human species, rarely are people’s opinions and ideas so chiselled in stone that they never re-think their actions and beliefs.
Exceptions to that rule of thumb must be made for individuals who are so caught up in themselves, so arrogantly obsessed with their own rectitude and infallibility that their pride negates any possibility of reassessment and retrenching.
Barack Obama comes to mind in that regard but we mortals frequently change our minds, whether for better or worse.
A number of opinion changes have hit the wires lately, mostly forced changes:
. Civilian shimilian, who cares?
Obama’s attorney general may have at least a smattering of that mortality since he seems ready to reassess a significant and erroneous decision, namely trying 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four sidekicks in a civilian court within crying distance of Ground Zero.
Some still refer to KSM as the “alleged” or the “accused” mastermind of the 9/11 atrocity but he’s much more than that. With a little help from America’s best interrogation friend, waterboarding, Mohammed spilled his guts so in my book he’s the confessed leader of that rat pack.
Months ago, Eric Holder, obviously running interference for his boss, made the ostensibly independent decision to hold the trial in federal court in lower Manhattan. This was while Obama and Holder still believed they had control of our government and the minds of the people.
Neither is the case any longer.
Holder and his minions have used the Bush precedent of successfully trying shoe bomber Richard Reid and other terrorists in civilian courts which was a misleading deception from the outset.
Most of those trials took place in the early days of the war on . . .

Sex: The Stimulus, the UN, Sexting, and Candy Wrappers
Sex: The Stimulus, the United Nations, Sexting, and Candy Wrappers
By now, everyone and his brother-in-law have heard the amazing tale of Jaycee Lee Dugard who was allegedly kidnapped by Phillip and Nancy Garrido and held for 18 years in a dump of a backyard.
We must say allegedly until the sick bastards are convicted.
She was allegedly raped by registered sex offender Garrido, bore him 2 children, and was finally rescued by the inept police of South Lake Tahoe, CA, when the whole dang “family” accompanied the lunatic to his parole office.
Reports now are that Jaycee, under the name Alissa, worked in Garrido’s store and apparently never made any effort to escape: http://bit.ly/5FFwy.
That info will no doubt fuel speculation that she was perfectly contented with her lot in life whereas Garrido probably knew that by then Jaycee/Alissa and her 2 girls were as much mental/psychological captives as a physical prisoners.
As bizarre as that case is, it’s not the only weird sex situation on America’s landscape.
Case in point: Obama’s stimulus.
“Stim·u·lus (stmy-ls) n. pl. stim·u·li (-l) 1. Something causing or regarded as causing a response. 2. An agent, action, or condition that elicits or accelerates a physiological or psychological activity or response. 3. Something that incites or rouses to action; an incentive.” (TheFreeDictionary.com)
Obama’s stimulus package may have failed to stimulate jobs but it sure is helping to provide an arousal incentive for some.
The New York Post has uncovered some recipients of Obama’s taxpayer monies, namely sex, umm, “researchers.”
Among other misuses of Obama’s stimulus package are funds being generously doled out to Indiana University to study “correct condom use,” ($221,000), to Syracuse U. to investigate adolescent “hookups,” ($219,000), to the University Of Illinois, Chicago, to evaluate “drug use as a sex enhancer,” ($123,000), and to the University of Maryland, Baltimore, to examine the issue of how amphetamines influence “female rat sexual behavior,” ($28,000): http://bit.ly/4qmaYX.
Either rat sex is considered a low priority or U. Maryland is on Obama’s chit list. However, it’s good to see that over a half million of our hard-earned dollars are being spent constructively.
Look, like a drunk with oodles of money, our government figures that it’s either use it and waste it, or lose it. After all, it’s all designed to stimulate, right? And it’s the American way amd not the bureaucrats’ money.
Second case in point, The United Nations.
Funded 22% by generous contributions from the United States, the U.N. is no slouch when it comes to wasteful spending by bureaucrats, either.
In fact, much of its profligate spending, especially but not confined to UNESCO, would be considered an immoral and unethical use of our taxes–if most of us knew about it.
Example: We have learned through song and tradition to teach our children well so it’s gratifying to know that the United Nations, ever on the alert for improving world conditions, is dead set on teaching and improving the condition of our young.
However, the Third World-dominated United Nations, thinking that Zambians, Kenyans, Uruguayans, and Cambodians share Americans’ beliefs and value system, would love to dump that system. UNESCO wants to teach our children but not exactly teach our Christian values.
Granted, it can be disconcerting to parents when their 5 year olds get discontented due to ennui. We used to tell them to dust or go out to play. The U.N. has a better solution, a different take on “play:” Teach them to masturbate!
Advocating universal access to “reproductive rights” and contending that “sexuality education is an integral component of human rights,” UNESCO has determined age-specific guidelines for children of all ages to learn and exercise their “sexual rights.”
. Children ages 5-9 also should be taught, “that all people regardless of their health status, religion, origin, race or sexual status can raise a child and give it the love it deserves.” (Note the inclusion of “sexual status,” the U.N.’s unsubtle endorsement of gay adoption; the pro-gay thread runs throughout the UNESCO report.)
. Children 9-12, among other things, should be taught about “homophobia, transphobia and abuse of power” as well as the “definition and function of orgasm.” By age 12, a kid should learn how “to be a good sexual partner.”
Children 12-15: “The report recommends discussing ‘access to safe abortion and post-abortion care’ and the ‘use and misuse of emergency contraception.’ “
UNESCO’s primary interests are a reduction in “depletion of natural resources” and teaching that, “traditional values on marriage and sex are faulty.”
The U.N.’s guiding lights? SIECUS and Planned Parenthood. (See “Homosexuality in America, Part Six: Indoctrinating Kids,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=647.) http://bit.ly/17SxbJ
Parents, don’t forget to get your kids out on Halloween to solicit pennies for UNICEF and maybe a few bucks for UNESCO.
Third case in point: "Sexting” . . .

Queer News!
Queer News To Gladden the Hearts–Of Queers
Those who are on the verge of despair over Obamanomics and Obamians directing our nation toward bankruptcy and perdition should know that the president is at least tending to one prime constituency, the homosexual community. It may not afford any solace, however.
Three queer news items, queer in every sense of the word:
. Trannies of America, Rejoice! You have nothing to lose but your private parts!
Tranny wannabes should take heart! Our benevolent government not only will include “abortion services” in the health care bill but may also include funding for “gender reassignment.”
Gender reassignment, a euphemism for attaching penises to women and digging clefts in men, and abortion, semi-euphemistic for murdering pre-born babies, seem just a tad out of place in a health bill. The rationale for incorporating either in a health law eludes me.
Abortion is terminally unhealthful for the pre-born babies who are its victims and gender reassignment, converting a man into a woman, of sorts, and vice versa, is a bizarre approach to good health: http://bit.ly/18WNzc
. Gays of America, Be Confident! Stimulation is on the way!
On another front, our government is looking out for homosexuals who get into tiffs with their partners. Obama’s stimulus law, officially the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which isn’t stimulating very much, granted $36,884 to Alexandria, VA to train counselors on how best to counsel non-heterosexuals.
Apparently, counselors were assuming too much when they tried to intercede in gay disputes, like during a spat between 2 women or 2 men. We all know what happens when we assume.
That amount is on top of the other $41.6 million that Alexandria expects to reap from the generous folk in Washington: http://bit.ly/3GNGv.
There shall no longer be any screaming, kicking, biting, or purse throwing in Alexandria’s gay community, if Washington can help it. Virginia is one state holding true to a sense of morality and normality and does not permit gay marriage and Obama has more stimulus bucks than he knows what to do with, so why not stimulate some peace and harmony?
Disputacious heteros will just have to fend for themselves and make-do with whatever non-stimulus funding is available for their counseling.
The thinking is that gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, and other freaks are unique, on which I would fully concur, and counselors require special training to keep them from assaulting and battery-ing their partners.
Somehow, I fail to see the stimulus effect of this extra special grant. However, what do I know? I’m just a taxpayer.
. Lesbians of America, Take Art! Your passions will be sated by more culture! . . .
