I believe that any fan of college football would agree the BCS is more of a beauty contest than an actual scientific selection process for National Championship candidates. So, why the interest? Well, it appears that Senator Orrin Hatch, of Utah, is looking into things since his Utah Utes weren’t given a championship bid after going undefeated. Gee, won’t sports be better if our government ensures all outcomes are “fair!”

I am going to start ordering Rolaids by the case….

The most dangerous aspect of Timmy G’s plan is that he consistently uses the term “seize.” Folks, this is no bailout, no government safety net, it is a government power grab. Americans are very aware that anything the government runs will become overgrown, unwieldy, and unuseful over time. Likewise, any power held by the government will be abused sooner or later. Geithner is asking for the power to take over financial businesses as he sees fit whether those business need or want government help. This is socialism. This is unAmerican. This needs to be stopped. As the drama of the economy unfolds around the Obama plan to take over American financial institutions “for the common good,” I am left to wonder how long it will be before our personal liberties are similarly confiscated.

Add to this the obvious complicity of both Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd and the Pied Piper himself, both recipients of huge cash campaign donations from newly evil AIG, and you have a melee the Keystone Cops would be embarrassed to participate in. Luckily, it appears that Dodd’s antics are going to cost him at the polls.

The worst part of this entire debacle is that the Congress is now trying to retroactively tax their way out of a jam they created. Why isn’t anyone demanding that the leaders of Congress resign for such a bungling?

And citizens wonder why other nations don’t take us seriously…

Now comes AIG, the enormous international insurance and financial company, who gleefully elbowed its way to the front of the handout line. The company painfully outlined their financial woes for the Congress and begged that the government not let them fail. The Congress was only too willing to give them their handout.

As it turns out, AIG took the government welfare check, cashed it, and disbursed some $450,000,000 in “bonus” payments to members of its financial products unit. When this tidbit hit the airwaves, there was, of course, a huge clamor from the media about the evils of corporations, the obligatory naysaying from “activists,” “watchdogs,” and other concerned parties. Having realized by now they might have rushed to spend taxpayers into ruin funding economic “stimulus,” our Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress now demands answers as to why these payments were made.

I am not the smartest guy around, but, it seems to me that the Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress has been caught with their collective pants down. In their rush to “stimulate” they even added amendments to the handouts that specifically protected bonus payouts. These amendments submitted by Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, Democrat, who received campaign contributions in excess of $100, 000 from, guess who, AIG. Of course Dodd denies he submitted the amendments and demands accountability but the facts, as they usually do, run contrary to the Senator’s remonstrations.

The stage is set for the Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress, scampering to cover is oafish mistakes in doling out mountains of taxpayer monies, to “fix” this greed problem in the “stimulus” plan through more government control. The CEO of AIG has been summoned to Congress to answer for his approving bonus disbursements – I guess paying employees per contractual obligations isn’t good enough for Congress and, in typical Socialist form, Nancy Pelosi wants to pass legislation to force AIG to return the bonus money. Does anyone out there think that there needs to be more government involvement in business?

So, what does all of this mean? Obviously, this is a harsh lesson in what happens when the government meddles in business affairs. The Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress issues funds and now wants to retroactively tell a company how it may use the funds. In essence, they want control over the financial operation of the business. Fundamentally in a free market economy, the government simply cannot become a business partner. Business should be forced to stand or fall on its own. Americans take pride in their collective disbelief that their government has the sense to come in from the rain and this belief makes the hysteria around Obama Claus and the Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress “economic stimulus” so dangerous. When Americans abrogate control of their economy to the government, bad things are going to happen. Hopefully, this little escapade will shock open some eyes as to the dangers of the Pied Piper’s socialist administration and a Democrat, read Socialist, Party controlled Congress. Ugh. I need Rolaids.

All in all, this book was a pleasure to read and certainly led me to wonder what America would be like with brave leadership on the right. The book was not without humor and as I sat reading, I had continual mental scenes of Al Frankin’s head exploding, James Carville’s head exploding, and Nancy Pelosi’s face melting into a Tammy Faye Bakker clown mask. Did I mention that Ms. Coulter is beautiful, approximately six feet tall, and, most importantly, single? Holy cow! Beauty and brains! There is no more exciting combination. Ann, keep writing and give me a ring! Really!

Hey, here’s an idea! Why not tell the little toad to get bent? Why not point out that America doesn’t “owe” the United Nations a dime. Ever! Why not point out the rents due on that mausoleum call the U.N. headquarters in New York City? It’s a bit hypocritical of him to slander the United States for contributing 22% of the U.N. operating budget on our timetable when his own home country of South Korea contributes nothing. Then there’s the whole part about there not being a South Korea for Ki-Moon to be from had not 169,365 Americans become casualties fighting for his little nation to be free. Just another reason for all freedom loving americans to agitate for our nation to jettison this socialist apparatus.

Emboldened by the election of the B. Hussein “The Pied Piper” Obama, some unsavory members of Congress have asked the United States Department of Justice to investigate Sheriff Arpaio for alleged “civil rights” violations of those poor illegal aliens illegally crossing our National border to illegally take jobs that would otherwise go to American citizens. Since illegal non-citizens do not have rights in this nation, I am not sure why the DOJ is even bothering with the request from, drum roll please: John Conyers(D), Jerrold Nadler(D), Zoe Lofgren(D), and Robert Scott(D). I guess there is some “good ol’ comrade” network going on here between these leftist congressmen and the Pied Piper’s DOJ cronies. Interestingly, the aforementioned Congressmen are aided and abetted by ACORN and, get this, the National Day Laborer Organizer Network.

This entire sham stinks of leftists pandering to one of their largest voting blocks – illegal aliens. I guess the fact that the local county population continues to re-elect Arpaio is somehow lost on these wet-panted limousine liberals. We can only hope that Sheriff Joe will tell these Congressional swine and the DOJ to get stuffed and that the rule of law will prevail.
