Hello peeps, I’m a little surprised at what I read this morning. Apparently Osama Bin Laden has seen the light as well as Al Gore’s piece of crap movie/”documentary”. He is now calling on a “boycott of U.S. goods and the dollar” because of the dangers of “climate change” and the only way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt. You mean to tell me that this guy who has been hiding out in a cave for all these years is worried about the snow melting? Of course the audio couldn’t be confirmed it was him. You don’t think Al Gore doesn’t have a way to reach all of the radical Muslims yet, do you? What do you think most of his funding is used for? It sure isn’t really being used to help the scientists since they have to make up the numbers. Not a sermon, just a thought.
In other news, the economy grew 5.7% in Q4? Source Businesses cut inventories less than before and the trade deficit narrowed slightly. How much do you want to bet that President Obama will take the credit for this, touting the stimulus package? I’ll wager a bit more and say that he will still blame Bush for the bad stuff still. You know, stuff like wages rise at a weak 1.5%.
Maybe Greece should be a … warning? to the U.S. Stop spending what you don’t have. Oh, nope. They still haven’t. It seems that the Senate voted to raise the debt ceiling by 1.9 TRILLION dollars. Numerically that is $1,900,000,000,000. That is insane to borrow that much MORE. Maybe instead of just freezing some spending, the lawmakers and President should CUT some spending.
Speaking of other big numbers, NBC expects 200 Million viewers to watch the Vancouver Winter Olympics. I may watch as long as Kieth Olbermann isn’t on and spewing his never ending load of crap in that ridiculously annoying voice.
CNN, I think you get a “DUH” award today. Why in the world would you ask if people liked specifics but not the overall stimulus bill? Source Runner Up? MSNBC. The Gitmo closure is looking increasingly uncertain?
Ben Bernanke was confirmed by the Senate yesterday for a second term. Not surprisingly it was the closest confirmation vote of a Fred Chairman ever. Considering the crooks that are popping up like Geithner it’s no surprise.
