The Swine-dle: Arlen Specter changes teams.

04.29.2009 Politics

It appears to me that Specter took a deal with the devil in order to try to get re-elected by leaving the party that got his ass elected 5 times. Specter has sold all the Republicans who have helped him over the last 30 years and sold them down the river. Specter star suddenly rose out of the ashes of politics like a phoenix when the Dems realized that he would be the filibuster proof majority the Democrats need. Even the President was paying him the love this morning.

The Swine Flu Pandemic was caused by the Conservatives

04.27.2009 Healthcare

Let’s be honest for once do we really think for one second that $900 million dollars would prevented the 40 people that the Center for Disease Control have confirmed with Swine Flu. Do we honestly think that the masses are any less safe today because we didn’t spend even more money in the Swineous Porkus Bill of 2009? I think not. No amount of money has fixed the ailing banks, suffering economy, stemmed massive job losses and decimated investments of hundreds of millions. Throwing money at a “pandemic preparedness plan” was not going to create jobs. Besides the medical industry is one of the few industries adding jobs.

It’s not like its real money?

04.21.2009 Leadership

  courtesy of www.clearlydeparted.com I applaud the President for having the guts to ask for cuts of $100,000,000 from each member of his cabinet. I mean one hundred million dollars is a nice sum anywhere but in Washington D.C. “$100 million there, $100 million here, pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real [...]

Miss California The National Tragedy.

04.20.2009 My Rants

When is it inappropriate to share your beliefs? The Miss America Pageant. Perez Hilton was trolling for victims. His question was loaded. It was an atomic bomb of a question: a life sucker from which there was no escape. He knew it. The audience knew it. Prejean knew it. Carrie Prejean was led like a lamb to the slaughter because Hilton is a gory glory hound. After all Hilton makes a living by crucifying people.

The Midnight Rambler…

04.18.2009 Music

“Midnight Rambler” is a song by British rock band the Rolling Stones, released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. It is one of my favorite Stones songs. I love the dark lyrics mixed with incredible blues guitar of Keith Richards and the harmonica of Mick Jagger. My favorite is live version of off the [...]

Utah’s Bizzaro World of Law Enforcement

04.14.2009 My Rants

I personally find both of these law enforcement problems incredible appalling. On one side we have children who did something wrong but are being punished to the full extent of the law when really they are children who made a mistake that they may or may not have had an understanding of what they did. Nor did the children have the understanding of the possible consequences. This is a case of the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.

On the other hand we have the Police Chief and Mayor of Salt Lake City promoting the image of picking and choosing the laws that they enforce. We have criminals who have broken the law willfully and with intent by crossing the border illegally.

How to get American’s to Swallow an Ugly Pill?

04.13.2009 My Rants

Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is covering up the ugliness of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) with a new road sign. UTDOT has decided to take the no shame route and advertise they are spending the economic stimulus package. Every road construction/repair project being funded by the ARRA will now carry this red badge of courage reminding us all that we are spending our grandchildren’s future.

A true confession of Eran

04.08.2009 About Me

 I thought today I would share a part of the inner me. That inner me is something that I hate about myself and really I hate to share it but I hope that this is therapeutic. My confession is gifts. I hate everything about gifts. I hate the whole process from wondering about what is [...]
