Went out clubbing last night. When I got up this morning, this was in my wallet.

Amy Winehouse: 1983 - 2011

Unemployment Rate Continues to Climb

During the recovery following past recessions, there were many people hired by small businesses. This resulted in a declining unemployment rate and rapid increase in GDP. But during the 'recovery' following the 0bama recession, the unemployment rate has remained stubbornly high, due to little or no hiring by the private sector:

WASHINGTON — Hiring slowed to a near-standstill last month. Employers added the fewest jobs in nine months and the unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent.

The economy generated only 18,000 net jobs in June, the Labor Department said Friday. And the number of jobs added in May was revised down to 25,000.

The latest report offered stark evidence that the recovery will be painfully slow. It also raised doubts that the economy will rebound in the second half of the year after hitting a spring slump.

Businesses added just 57,000 jobs last month_ the fewest in more than a year. Governments cut 39,000 jobs. Over the past eight months, federal, state and local governments have cut a combined 238,000 positions.

Many of 0bama's supporters in the media and elsewhere have characterized the nonexistent recovery as "baffling". By doing so, they only betray their own ignorance. Small (and large) businesses are not hiring because the 0bama administration and their allies in congress have placed too many obstacles in their path. 0bama wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, but he doesn't understand that most of the wealthy are small business owners. His 0bamacare will increase health care costs for employers, such that one-third of businesses are contemplating dropping health insurance coverage for their employees. The many other taxes and regulations that the Democrats have enacted or contemplated enacting, such as the ridiculous "cap-and-trade" legislation to solve a nonexistent global warming problem, are making it difficult for any business to hire new employees.

And even worse, 0bama wants 'comprehensive' immigration reform, meaning amnesty for some 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom have taken jobs away from Americans. He cares more about the citizens of foreign countries than he does about the citizens of the USA.

What amazes me is that anyone would fall for the BS that 0bama and his minions continue to spew. How long does unemployment rate need to stay high in order to convince them?

Muslims Still Celebrating 9/11

I was chatting with some random stranger on omegle.com this morning when they posted this:

Stranger: ✈ ▌▌ / ¦҉▌▌ / ▄ ▌ / ▄✈▌ / ▄ ¦҉▌ / ▄ ▄

It was not immediately obvious to me what this was. At first I thought it to be just random symbols. But looking at it I realized it is a pictorial representation of the hijacked jetliners crashing into the World Trade Center buildings and knocking them down. Even ten years later, the terrorist scumbags are gloating over the murder of innocent people.

The islamic hatred of other people and religions even extends to muslims who have immigrated to the USA. On 9/11/01, I lived next in Wellington, Florida, next door to a family of muslims from India. On the whole they were nice to me and their other neighbors. But one incident, on the very morning of 9/11, sticks out in my mind.

I was working at home that morning. Approximately one hour after both World Trade Center towers had collapsed, I went outside to get some fresh air and walk my dog. The woman of the islamic household and her sister were standing outside her house, smiling and laughing to each other. The sister greeted me and asked 'how's it going?"

I responded "Terrible".

She asked "Why?", with a puzzled look on her face.

I was amazed she had not heard the news and said "Didn't you hear what happened in New York and Washington?"

She replied "OH.... yes I did", and feigned an expression of concern.

This is Stefani, a German otter.

Hillary Wants to Run the World Bank

Apparently, Herself is tired of being Secretary of State, so she wants to run the World Bank, a position traditionally held by an American. How ironic, since the World Bank refuses to hire American economists.

So why the World Bank, Hillary? Do you and Bill plan to use it as your personal piggy bank?

Yet Another Reason Not to Vote for Romney

Mitt was kind enough to let us know that he's not just a Mormon, he's one of the faithful Branch Carbonians:

(Reuters) - Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney broke with Republican orthodoxy on Friday by saying he believes that humans are responsible, at least to some extent, for climate change.

"I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," he told a crowd of about 200 at a town hall meeting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"It's important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may be significant contributors."

Mitt, why should I vote for someone who is stupid enough to fall for a ridiculous hoax?
