Who Is Helping The Oil Companies?

http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/30/news/companies/exxon_earnings/index.htm?cnn=yes

Well, who is the president? Oh, right, George Bush. Who has lobbyist's running their campaign? Oh, right, John McCain. I am all for "redistributing" the one quarter's $15 Billion profits of Exxon all over the poor people in the US (and yes, they do exist, get out of your mansions and look). Call me a socialist if you like, but I would rather think of this as just fair. That much profit and paying no taxes on it either?

Makes me sick. Anyone listening out there?

Voting Machine Problems In The US

If this is proven correct, the Federal Government needs to step in and standardize the whole system. This is just idiotic.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/10/30/voting.machines/index.html

I know the system in Maryland is touch screens and I haven't had a problem with it. I don't think any part of the system is linked to the Internet and all the votes are recorded on an electronically encoded card that are tallied later. I hope so anyway. The rest of the country or the Federal Government might want to look at this example.

Stupid Students

Usually you see students protesting something that is bad for the country, like a war or something like overturning Rowe V Wade (which I would support modifying drastically). These kids are uneducated and should read my Blog religiously!

If I did that to a McCain poster, I would probably get a good talkin' to about respecting my elders.

I think I would have capped the Dad in the knee, the kid in the foot and the woman through the head. Why the hell did she let the child out of the car???

Porsche Sticks It To Em'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/robertpeston/2008/10/hedge_funds_and_vw_what_a_pile.html

This is cool if you can follow the thread. All these Hedge Fund a-holes who do nothing but make money by betting on a stock going up or down were screwed after they made a bunch of "short sales" (look it up) and then Porsche stepped in and bought up a bunch of VW.

The Hedge guys were scrambling to reduce losses because the stock went up! A lot. A nice kick in the pants to these financial pansies who deal in nothing but thin air and speculation all day. We need a better way to value the assets of the world, and all of these financial people can take the jobs vacated when we deport the illegals.

The Obama Show

It was funny to see a bunch of McCain ads right before the show. Watch that wallet dude, you have 5 more days.

Anyway, it was well produced and mixed, great music backing. It was really just the same messages I have already heard, which are many and vary in subject. Obama hit all the points, which is important. Much better than hearing "Joe The Plumber" and "Spread The Wealth" over and over.

I guess I will just count the days, vote and wait till next Wednesday morning to hear the news. One cool thing is Maryland has early voting up for a vote, which I will do. I expect this coming Tuesday will be a little nuts at the polling station. I plan on leaving work early to go vote during what is traditionally a slow period. I hate seeing all the signs at the location in English and Spanish though.

Senior Republicans Forecast Big 2008 Losses

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/republicans/3280613/Senior-black-Republican-warns-party-could-lose-power-until-2020.html

I know Michael Steele (not personally), he ran for Govenor in Maryland a few years back and lost by a small margin. I liked him for the most part. I hope he runs for House or Senate next time, I will take another look.

It is a bit of a mess to have all these "Pubs" forecasting doom and gloom for thier party. By the way, Tories are the same as Pubs in Brittian.

Don't leave the gas on under the bridges either.

Democrat Vs Republican Federal Taxes?

Well, I pulled out all of my Federal tax returns that I have and here is the breakdown;

Click to enlarge it.

It kind of speaks for itself doesn't it? I have never made more than $100 in a year ever, and close to 1/2 that some years. Hmm, who is "Redistributing The Wealth??".

I should mention that big hike in 2005 was me cashing out my 401K (because the US dollar was tanking and so was my retirement savings, yours too). I want to thank GW for taking such a big slice! My money is better off in a savings account though, no stock market crap involved and earning a meager 5%. My savings are safe :) How's yours?

Try this for yourself and send it to me please.

Git Me My Shotgun!!

I wouldn't hesitate, this fucker dies now. Spiders creep me out, even though I had to kill them all the time for my Mom when I was little. Now I just use the heel of a shoe.

RNC Says Democrats Are Racist

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Hmm, they must not listen to Rush Limbaugh??

Sad thing is, I was a registered Republican up till 2004. They really treat people in their party like they are "stupid". They spoon feed them trash like "redistribute the wealth", when most of the people in the Republican party are not that rich and would actuallt benefit from tax cuts from the Democrats.

Are these folks really worried about filthy rich people paying their part in taxes, instead of the poor carrying the load?

The Next US President Will Probably Die

If not by old age, then it will probably be an assassination. What a great country.
