By then the banks will have their foreclosure ducks in a row, and out in the street they’ll go, and into the now nascent, but soon to be gigantic foreclosure machine the house will go.

There is NO greater lie, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you”.

Indict Eric Holder

(quoted from Investors.com) A major-league pitcher was indicted for lying to Congress about steroid use. Administration memos show Eric Holder lied about what he knew about Fast and Furious and when he knew it. What’s the difference?

Somewhere, Scooter Libby must be scratching his head. He was indicted and convicted simply because his recall of when a meeting occurred differed from others. He didn’t lie about a gun-running operation that led to the deaths of two American agents and at least 200 Mexicans.

University of Wisconsin-Stout (Stout) has reversed its censorship of theater professor James Miller’s poster featuring a line from Fillion’s character in Joss Whedon’s television series Firefly. Campus police had threatened Miller with criminal disorderly conduct charges, and he was reported to the “threat assessment team.

Miller’s troubles at Stout began on September 12, 2011, when he posted outside his office door an image of Fillion in Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series Firefly and a line from an episode: “You don’t know me, son, so let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake. You’ll be facing me. And you’ll be armed.” On September 16, Stout Chief of Police Lisa A. Walter notified Miller that she had removed the poster because it “refer[s] to killing.” After Miller replied, “respect my first amendment rights,” Walter wrote that “the poster can be interpreted as a threat.” Walter also threatened Miller with criminal charges of “disorderly conduct” if he posted any similar poster.

From Instapundit: WHY YOU NEED A GUN IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: “The statistics, contained in the department’s fiscal 2005 budget performance report, show that the average response time for the highest-priority calls — Priority 1 — was 8 minutes, 25 seconds in fiscal 2003, up from 7 minutes, 19 seconds in fiscal 2002 and 7 minutes, 47 seconds in fiscal 2001.”

Cutting gadgets’ energy needs

“We don’t burn a lot of money,” Olofsson said. “The average is $10 (million) to $15 million a year for semiconductor start-ups. We, on the other hand, are spending $1.5 million.”

Protectionism beckons as leaders push world into Depression

“The world savings rate has surpassed its modern-era high of 24pc. This is the killer in the global system. It is why we are at imminent risk of tipping into a second, deeper leg of intractable depression.” Meaning no one is spending money. We are afraid of what our government is going to do.

Brussels threatens to sue Britain to let in foreign ‘benefit tourists’

“European Commission threatens to take legal action against Britain if ministers refuse to water down rules limiting foreigners’ ability to claim benefits in the UK.”

British minister complaints about “unelected and unaccountable EU bureaucrats”. I wonder what side he was on when the British people were denied a opportunity to tell their government they did or did not want to join the EU? With the Euro crashing and the economies of all the EU states failing under the EU mandated social “reforms” I wonder if he would support a referendum to stay in or leave the EU now?

American ‘Big Science’ Lurches as US Atom Smasher Shutdown Looms

The USA continues its decline.

The scientists at Fermilab have a plan to continue with cutting edge science but the new program remains unfunded. A lousy 2 billion dollars over several years, hell! Obama gave that much away to his friends just last month. It’s a fraction of the money that will be spent this week on welfare fraud. Why if we had continued funding science and stopped shipping the production of the new technologies overseas I might even have a job. [dream_mode/off].

Obama’s uncle sparks outrage. Back at work while facing deportation

Plus: [Boston Herald] A giggling Onyango Obama — the president’s illegal alien half uncle — made a brief appearance in Framingham District Court today on charges he was drunk when he nearly struck an unmarked police cruiser last month.

Obama, 67, was visibly amused at the media spectacle, stifling laughter several times before his 30-second court appearance where a judge set a Nov. 17 pre-trial conference.

Yes, he’s laughing at us, they all are. Because we are idiots and have no balls.
