Slackers For Obama

You don’t want to work? You want the government to pay for your gas and mortgage and health care and you think it foolish to worry your silly little head as to where these things come from?
Well say it loud and say it proud, and tell the world who you want this November with a Slackers for Obama shirt.
Really. They exist.  They are being sold at this site starting at $15.90. Get your mom to buy you one or hit some passersby up for some spare change. 
Remember, if Obama wins you will no longer have to put out the effort to do such things.
 
The government will forcibly coerce the few still working to give you — the deserving slacker — what they have wrongfully acquired by providing oppressive services like plumbing, farming and retail food distribution.
And health care, but let’s not confuse ourselves.
It can safely be said that Romney has lost the slacker vote.

Joke Of The Day

The Pope and Obama were on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.
The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and said, “Do you know that with one
little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!”
Obama replied, “I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand? Show me!”
So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!
 AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!
 Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it !

Water samples collected in Bradford County last October and November have been analyzed by WESTON Solutions Inc. and found to have been unaffected by the hydraulic fracking and other Marcellus Shale natural gas development occurring there, according to PennEnergy.
PennEnergy reports that the findings have been submitted to the EPA, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and landowners involved in this study. 

Michelle Obama Supports Photo ID

Michelle Obama supports the use of photo ID.

At least she does for her book signings as has been revealed by Newsbusters.org.
Of course, getting a book signed by the first lady is a pretty serious thing. It’s not like they are trying to vote or anything.

Obama’s Re-election Is Up To Me Says Jim Messina

I just got a desperate email from Jim Messina, who is campaign manager for “Obama for America”:
Bill,

 for the first time in this campaign, we got beat in fundraising.

The Romney campaign and the Republican Party raised more than $76 million last month, compared to our $60 million. 
Then he says what happens next is up to me.
I think we can say that Barack’s re-election is problematic.
And here I was thinking exit polls in Wisconsin showed a second term was a done deal.

Dinosaurs And The ’60s

Reader TomC submitted a link to a  Philadelphia Inquirer review puffing the latest acting gig of Jane Fonda, a person about whom many still have bitter memories of her support for the cruel, freedom-hating North Vietnamese communists in the middle of our war with them.

From what I can see, though, the discussion leaves the young with simply two questions:
–Who is Jane Fonda?
–What is the Philadelphia Inquirer?

Actress Wants 0 To Fire Cop Who Arrested Her

Actress Amanda Bynes was charged with driving under the influence after she sideswiped a police car with while making a right turn 3 a.m. in her BMW in West Hollywood.

She has taken her case to directly to the President via Twitter:   Hey  … I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also don’t hit and run. The end.

Bill Would Grant Survivors Deceased Property Tax Rebates

The State House, yesterday, June 5, passed HB 468, that would allow survivors of a person   eligible for the state’s Property Tax and Rent Rebate program  to collect benefits the deceased would have been eligible to receive.

The vote was 197-0. The bill had been introduced by Jim Cox (R-129). It now goes to the Senate.

“When a person who is eligible for the Property Tax and Rent Rebate program passes away, a family member should be able to collect the money,” Cox said.

The Property Tax and Rent Rebate program provides benefits based on the previous year’s taxes or rent. For example, the program in 2012 will provide rebates for taxes and rent paid by eligible applicants in 2011. Therefore, an applicant who paid property taxes in 2011 but passed away before the end of that year would not have an opportunity to apply for a rebate.

Currently, the benefit owed to the deceased person would be lost and family members would be unable to claim it.

“These families are dealing with the loss of a loved one,” Cox said. “Denying them the rebate that their loved one was eligible for is like throwing salt in an open wound.”

Under Cox’s legislation, a family member – including a surviving spouse, child, mother or father, or sister or brother – would be eligible to collect the benefit owed to the deceased person.

If An Earthquake Happens And The Inky Ignores It . . .

If an earthquake happens and the Philadelphia Inquirer ignores it does it make a sound?

A few decades ago that would have been a Zen-like thing to ponder in the Delaware Valley but today a better question is if the Philadelphia Inquirer reports an earthquake will anyone know about it?
Regardless, today’s Inky the biggest political earthquake story of the year — Scott Walker’s landslide victory in yesterday’s (June 5) Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election — with a postage stamp below the fold photo.
There is a highly organized contingent of Americans who want to make our economy one based on transferring wealth from those who are not politically connected to those who are much as feudal Europe was, much as the Soviet Union was.
Yesterday they got a big black eye.
Walker’s win in the left-leaning state has significant implications for Pennsylvania as one suspects one will soon see and came despite a tremendous effort by the public-sector unions and Hollywood fashionistas to stop it.
When the dog is seen to have no teeth the dog stops being feared. 
By the way, not all liberals are ignoring Walker’s victory. Here is a sampling of things they are saying about Walker on Twitter. Warning: the link contains death threats, rape threats and lots and lots of foul language. Don’t click on it unless you have a strong stomach.
