I can’t figure out why my posts of this nature haven’t received any comment?
Is it beneath you all? You have nothing to say? I don’t believe that - at least call me stupid or tell me it is bullshit or something.
I find these thoughts incredibly interesting, even if it is hard to believe…
I generally tend to be a conspiracy theorist and I fully believe that we have not even come close to the pinnacle of knowledge, contrary to what many of our present day scientists seem to believe. So, as I said before I find things of this nature very fascinating.
Anyway, read this article and be prepared - the movie “The Island” comes to mind.
You might recall a post I wrote a few months back, titled something to the effect of “Big Bang?”. I can’t recall exactly but I think it was in July.
Anyway, in that article I talked about a few things with the main point being about the fact the big bang theory is starting to loose it’s foothold.
Turns out that there is something out there in space that has been happening that just doesn’t fit within the big bang theory. Actually, it doesn’t fit within any theory that we currently understand.
All that they really know at this point is that this matter, called “dark flow” is moving in a specific direction at about 2 million miles per hour!
Bail out? I have a better plan and I am not even running for office.
I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.
Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.
To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.
Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.
So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.
My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.
Of course, it would NOT be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.
Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.
But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A husband and wife has $595,000.00.
What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?
Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.
Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads
Put away money for college - it’ll be there
Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.
Buy a new car - create jobs
Invest in the market - capital drives growth
Pay for your parent’s medical insurance - health care improves
Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else
Remember this is for every adult U.S. Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.
If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( “vote buy” ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.
If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U.S. Citizen 18+!
As for AIG - liquidate it. Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General. Sell off the real estate. Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.
Here is my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.
Sure it’s a crazy idea that can “never work.”
But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!
How do you spell Economic Boom?
I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion We Deserve the Dividend more than the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .
And remember, this plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.
Well, I guess this uneducated fool gets to voice his thoughts now. With the addition of roughly $1,000,000,000,000 debt to our balance sheet, we may indeed bankrupt our country by trying to “save” it.
At what point will we all realize that the government has overstepped the Constitution, or rather left it atop a huge, steaming pile of…
Does the rule of law not exist? Has the founding document of this nation been discarded? Exactly what rules are we playing by now? May I have a copy of them?
The current congress is a piece of shit. If any of my employees, or yours, behaved in such a manner to achieve a 9% approval rating, they would be out. No severance, no retirement. Just fired. Not even time to clean out their desks. Maybe even get a security escort off company grounds. But these dupers have led us to the edge of a chasm, and are pushing ever harder to get us to step in. Why?
All I know is this: I can’t ever be a victim; I fight back.
Anytime someone sends me an email about McCain or Obama I immediately question the truth behind it, which there is usually very little. Usually it is a crap forward supporting McCain. Anyway, what is most bothersome to me is that so many people are wanting to accept these bullshit forwards and other misinformation’s because it supports their man… or woman. The sad thing is that its so damn easy to check if something is authentic and people just don’t do it.
Here is the BULLSHIT letter that I recieved followed by the actual letter with this title. I took the actual letter off of Thomas Sowell’s own archives.
”The article below was written by syndicated columnist, Thomas Sowell, a
black man. He wrote it in a humorous way this past week in a column
titled ‘Random Thoughts’ and published it in newspapers nationally, so
maybe you’ve already seen it. If not, be my guest:
Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary
Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.
After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John
McCain for President.
I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because
some political party was telling me who I should vote for.
We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the
process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words ‘money’
and ’special interests’ come to mind, among many others.
Here’s the way I see it:
Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely
liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich
history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a
child of that system.
You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to
tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color.
As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an
African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to
the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!
But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT
the man for this job !
Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons
of your own pastor, the Right Reverend ‘God Damn America’ Jeremiah Wright.
It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years.
It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor,
and that your children were baptized there.
The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a
lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.
We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now.
And you have publicly stated that this man IS your ’spiritual mentor.’
BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were
disturb ing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen
jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb
me the most. And please don’t tell me you attended church there and never
once heard a ‘discouraging word’ in the 20 years you attended there. Don’t
tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not
having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling
out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades. Even Oprah
Winfrey got disgusted and walked out on your campaign. I am no Oprah fan,
but still she did the right thing.
Now you look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such
language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you
that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the ‘N’ word.
Yep. And Bill Clinton ‘did not inhale’.
Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that
embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so
incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to
believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you.
I am deeply sorry, that in a country teeming with enormously talented
African Americans who would make a good President, that the political
system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an
American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of
Allegiance . God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.
Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.
John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have
a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble
opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand
on the nuclear button.
Think about it.
We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like
lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into
nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling
their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him
to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.
John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and
throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something
through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a
bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it.
I want ALL of these ‘world leaders’ to lay awake at night and to break out
in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of
America.
I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your
night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China,
Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other dopes in the
sheets, the Saudis.
On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the
opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to
do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED.
For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket.
The liberals are ticked at him and the conservatives are ticked at him.
Just my kinda guy.
Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer
horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you,
for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you
that what he did was ‘nothing special. ‘ Even more incredibly, he states
that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as
he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that,
but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the ‘average
American,’ and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one
poor ballot for on election day for John McCain –.”
Random thoughts on the passing scene:Most of the problems of this country are not nearly as bad as the “solutions” — especially the solutions that politicians come up with during election years.
Some people actually think that televising Congress gives us information. What it really does is give politicians millions of dollars worth of free advertising, while they play charades on camera to fool the rest of us.
Alfred E. Neuman of Mad magazine said: “What, me worry?” During election years, Democrats running for office say: “What, me liberal?”
Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.
What is more scary than any particular candidate or policy is the gullibility of the public and their willingness to be satisfied with talking points, rather than serious arguments.
One way to reduce illegal immigration might be to translate some of our far left publications into Spanish and give everyone in Mexico subscriptions. After they read how terrible this country is, many may want to stay away.
Whenever I see one of Barack Obama’s smooth performances, it reminds me of a saying from my old neighborhood in Harlem: “An eel is like sandpaper compared to you.”
Most people on the right have no problem understanding people on the left because many, if not most, were on the left themselves when they were younger. But many, if not most, people on the left find it inexplicable how any decent and intelligent person could be on the right.
It is amazing to me that there are people who still take seriously claims by some candidates that they are against “special interests.” All politicians are against their opponents’ special interests and in favor of his own special interests.
Nothing is more fraudulent than calls for a “dialogue on race.” Those who issue such calls are usually quick to cry “racism” at any frank criticism. They are almost invariably seeking a monologue on race, to which others are supposed to listen.
The same people who have gone ballistic when some prominent figure is found to belong to some all-male social club are full of excuses for why Barack Obama remained a member of a racist and anti-American church for 20 years.
Among the many wise things said by the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan was that you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. Yet an incredible number of people make up whatever “facts” are needed to support whatever they choose to believe.
Rachael Ray is showing up in so many places on various television programs, on magazine covers, on boxes of crackers that the question must be asked: Are we sure that she is not twins, or perhaps triplets?
The way to get people’s votes is to say that all their problems are caused by other people, and that you will stop those other people from giving them trouble. But if you really want to help, then you can tell them the truth and risk losing their votes.
The idea behind giving professors lifetime tenure is that this will enable them to speak out freely. But it would be hard to name any other occupation with a more cowardly record than academics, who have been giving in to politically correct campus bullies ever since the 1960s.
There is no question that Barack Obama is a clever and glib fellow. There is also no question that some of the most foolish, dangerous and horrific things done around the world in the past hundred years have been done by clever and glib fellows.
When someone is brutally murdered, the media often defuse our shock by focusing on praise of the victim, instead of focusing on what can be done to keep the murderer from ever doing this again. In the midst of all this emotional venting, it is galling to realize that chances are the murderer will eventually be put back on the street again.

Feast or Famine around here when it comes to me posting on the skunk.
I’m sure you all must think I don’t do anything else, but sit on the skunk. Not true, I just have to post ideas when they are fresh and sometimes I will have to stop and come back to one post several times throughout the day to finish it. I choose to make the time… “it’s like my pleasure in other peoples leisure”.
Anyway, tonight I was driving and listening to the local AM radio and heard a very interesting interview.
The guy being interviewed is a physicist (don’t know who just caught this briefly) and they were talking about several ideas, but they touched briefly on the weakness of the big bang theory. They weren’t suggesting creationism, but what the guy said was very intriguing and something that I haven’t really considered before - therefore very skunkworthy.
The first thing relating to this is the “Horizon Problem” which is based on the fact that the temperature across the universe is uniform and how we presently understand galaxies and time isn’t in accordance with the big bang theory. The 2 important points are: 1) If the Big Bang actually happened this would have created a massive influx in temperature, essentially creating a high gradient of temperature across space that could not have evened out by our present time. 2) The way we view and understand galaxies is based on the speed of light, the basic connection and its confliction with the bang theory also relates to the fact that the lack of variation of physical properties within our univerese is inconsistent with the bang. Since these are the case and there is only very, very speculative suggestions as to why these things do exist, it seems reasonable to me that the big bang didn’t happen.
The other problem with the big bang is that it says that there was nothing before the bang and what I’m about to say isn’t my original thought. By saying there was nothing before the big bang theory it inadvertantly imples that there was “time” before the bang. So, the big bang theory contradicts itself.
Through my searching I did find some other very interesting ideas which really deserve their own post, but I’ve done enough already.
I just got this email today, interesting. Biased of course, but just shows how out of touch all presidential cadidates are with the average person - especially McCain.
Yeah Yeah, I hear it already - Not Obama he is for us, the middle class. He can relate.
To that I say listen close… NO, he cannot possibly relate to you or me or anyone who is reading this (all 2 or 3 of you… lol). Anyone who has a worth in excess of 100,000 million cannot possibly relate us, or even the lower end deci-millionaires, as McCain clearly points out.
Anyway, here it is and I removed my state and put insert yours here. That and removing an internet address “to make my voice heard” on Barack’s site is the only change I made.

Dear Friend,
John McCain said in an interview yesterday that hes lost track of how many houses he has.
Think about that: he actually has so many houses that he actually cant remember how many he owns.
Every day that goes by, Senator McCain shows just how out of touch he is with the struggles of everyday peoplewhether its offering billions more in tax breaks for the oil companies or declaring that multimillionaires are members of the middle class.
We cant afford another president who doesnt get it.
Thats why its so important to tell your friends, family, and neighbors more about Barack who he is and where he stands on the issues that matter most to (insert your state here).
You can make a difference right now by writing a letter to the editor of your local paper and sharing with your community why John McCain is simply out-of-touch with the struggles of everyday people and why Barack is right on the economy and right for (insert your state here).
Make a difference and write a letter to the editor today. [http://my.barackobama.com
As president, Barack Obama will put the middle class first. Hell pass a middle class tax cut that gives 95 percent of working Americans a tax cut of up to $1,000and hell give families an emergency energy rebate to help folks cope with rising prices. Hell offer students a $4,000 tax break to pay for tuition in exchange for doing 100 hours of community service. And hell raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation.
John McCains tax plan leaves out 101 million middle class familiesand gives tax breaks to the oil companies and multimillionaires instead. And hell offer more of the same tax breaks and giveaways to companies that ship jobs overseas, leading to the loss of millions of American jobs.
The choice is clear. Barack Obama will be on your side. John McCain wont.
Not that you need more than 1, the one being to just look at him. If you want to know what I’m talking about go to his site and the first picture you see of him standing there with a smart ass smirk on his face holding a cigar makes me want to spit in his face.
Rush is an asshole and this is a nomination for the loser of the year… or perhaps loser of earth’s existence. Whenever he makes one of his many asshole comments (which is at least 1 every 5 minutes) I can just picture thousands of business men sitting in their vehicles smiling, noding their heads in agreement and even giving their own additional commentary to themselves as they listen to him.
For example, this topped the cake for me today. He played one of his biased, taken out of context sound bites of parents and childeren talking about how the gas prices are effecting the childeren of low income parents this year and the parents ability to purchase new school supplies and new shoes, etc.
Of course Rush scoffed at this and made it sound like they were complaining about not having the “new” supplies when the old ones are just fine, almost sounding like “when I was a kid all my shoes had holes in them, I had to walk 7 miles each way in 50 below weather, and I didn’t complain” type bullshit.
Not that I actually believe it is possible, but just in case, somehow I get the luck of winning a lottery and Rush Limbaugh himself reads this I want to say with the deepest sincerity… Fuck you Rush Limbaugh, fuck you.
And no, quite honestly I don’t really care about Obama or any other political figures Rush bashes on his show. These are not the reasons I dislike Rush Limbaugh. Even though I’m sure almost everything he says about them is B.S.
So, for my 5 …
1.) He presents slanted BS as though it were fact and for some reason otherwise intellegent people belive it.
2.) He bashed druggies relentlessly and at one point said that there should be harsher penalties… then he was busted and admitted on air that he had (or still has for all we know) an addiction to the pain killer oxycontin.
3.) He has a following of people who when calling in to his show say Kudos, or many Kudos to you Rush… they are referred to as dido monkeys.
4.) Rush brags about his extraodinary wealth, his extremely large house, his lavish spending and his vehicle that only gets 8 mile to the gallon
5.) He gives people just enough information to spread misinformation on rather important topics.
I’m going to try and make this my last post about Rush Limbaugh. He and my posts on him are a complete waste of time.
