The US Debt Issue..
If you think the world isn't watching, Al Jazeera English has it as the top story..
It's maddening, listening to the crap from both sides this weekend. Just cut the spending/tax loop-holes and raise the Debt Limit. Call me if you want to know how to cut spending. I have seen the waste at DOD and "civilian" government institutuions....
It's simple, stop "spend it or you won't get it next year", and let them report those dollars back to the Treasury. 1 Trillion easy, over the next 10 years..
Think about it: If every Office/Division across the Federal Government and DOD reported back what they would have wasted, just to spend it? It's a simple mandate, "Cut what you spend, or it will be imposed upon you".

The Senate GOP Slaps The Tea Party, A Bit..
Lindsey Graham and David Vitter joined with Democrats today, to dispose of the House Debt bill that would force a real bad constitutional "Balanced Budget Amendment".
Graham is smart when he needs to be. Vitter, is still under consideration. Regardless, they joined in to assure that when the day comes (and it will), when the "health insurance" companies have driven the US economy to the edge of a cliff..we can end them. We can have a single payer health care system in the US.
Thanks Lindsey and David, for being forward thinking...

Lisa Nowak Expelled From The Navy/NASA
Bye bye carzy bitch. Enjoy retiremennt on our nickle. She didn't get the dishonorable discharge that she deserved...
While no excuse, the root of the problem is probably some guy she totally loved (before ever starting NASA training), who couldn't take her being gone so much. Sad ending to a great career.

California Passes "Dream Act"
I am on the fence on this law. I see the benefits, but with so many Americans unemployed (especially young African Americans), it would only help the situation if we enforced eVerify nation-wide.

Historic Day
UPDATE: Bo[eh]ner has pulled out of the deal, must have had the phone call from the Koch brothers??? Asshole, missed a chance to go down in history in a good way. No one remembers extremists, we remember the deal makers. good luck next November idiots...
Not the heat on the US East Coast, but Don't Ask Don't Tell is dead (come September). The Cut Cap/Balance bill was defeated (saved us from total failure). The President and Bo[eh]ner came to an agreement on the Debt Ceiling.
If that last one goes through, I will stopp calling Jon "Bo[eh]ner", for a little while at least.
Happy day!

So, who’s Pushing For The "CUT CAP AND BALANCE Constitutional Amendment”? Health Insurance providers, of course...
If you look at H.R. 2560 what it does, is require the US Federal Gov. to not exceed 18% of GDP in spending (no matter how high or low the economy is). So this locks in spending at that level, which floats each year, and requires the Gov. to hire or fire people each year, based on GDP.
That would:
- Wreak havoc at every FED Agency, especially DOD, because no one could do any long term planning.
- It would screw Medicare, for sure.
- But the big BIG deal, is that it would make a “single payer” health care system impossible. So America would be locked into funding shareholder payments to WellPoint/Wellcare’s stock holders forever.
- It also makes it impossible to EVER pay off our National Debt. So we would be stuck just paying interest on that debt for all time.
Sound good to you? If not, contact your Representatives.

H.R.1181 Bankruptcy Protection (Bailout) For Irresponsibe Gun Owners
 |
| These are all exempt from Bankruptcy Court |
H.R. 1181 allows any gun or rifle of $3000 or less in value be excluded from the "Estate" of any irresponsible idiot filing Bankruptcy (because they over extended and bought too much house/business). Thus bailing them out, from consideration by the Courts. Republicans bail out gun owners. The rest of you...stop dragging us down. I don't make these up!

Retiring The Shuttle Is A Good Thing
A guy at work today asked me how close the ISS/Shuttle are to the Moon when in Orbit. So I made a graph showing the distance from earth of both (view full size).
So as the shuttle winds down, we start work on Orion:
When it's nearly ready, NASA will propose a mission. Something bigger, and much much farther than the moon.

The Saturn Storm
As near as I can figure it, the area of this storm is around 51,144,949,206 square KM, in total area (over 51 billion). That's eight times the surface area of the earth. Amazing..
Looks like a Volcano, or the Saturn equivalent of a planetary burp.

The Senate Tells The House To Compromise
The only No votes were Republicans (Made Your Point). The only Not Voting were Republicans (Pussies). It passed 83 to 8, so you guys in the House need to take heed. It will be OK, the Independent voters will understand, and appreciate your much anticipated proper behaviour. You weren't voted in to get nothing feasible done. You have done enough unfeasible legislation for the next 10 years.
Thanks
