Scott Riddle who is accused by the liberals at the Hubbard City Drug Store of causing Global Warming in downtown Hubbard City because of excessive gas expulsion by his now thirsty cows is following these Green events pretty closely for obvious reasons, "For those of you who think Obama made one little $500 million mistake on his photo opportunity, it ain't just Solyndra! At least four other companies have received stimulus funding only to later file for bankruptcy, and two of those were working on alternative energy (that would be Green Wind and Sun for those of you from Mr. Calm). And to top it off, the Obamas have to spend $10 Billion by the end of the month or their stimulation legislation runs out."
"Evergreen Solar Inc. (don't you just love these names), received $5.3 million through a state grant to open a $450 million facility that employed roughly 800 people. The company, once a rock star in the solar industry (guess that means it was loud sounded good), filed for bankruptcy protection last month, saying it couldn't compete with (those pesky little) Chinese rivals without reorganizing. The company intends to focus on building up its manufacturing facility in China (more of those Obama jobs that just don't seem to put Americans to work)."
"SpectraWatt, based in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., is also a solar cell company that was spun out of Intel in 2008. In June 2009, SpectraWatt received a $500,000 grant from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as part of the stimulus package. SpectraWatt was one of 13 companies to receive the money to help develop ways to improve solar cells without changing current manufacturing processes. The company filed for bankruptcy last month, saying it could not compete with its Chinese competitors, which receive 'considerable government and financial support'."
"On Tuesday, Obama's Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman wrote an editorial in USA Today' in which he blamed China for the failure of U.S. solar energy manufacturers to compete (surprise, surprise it wasn't Obama's fault)."
"'Winning will require substantial investments. Last year, for example, the China Development Bank offered more than $30 billion in financing to Chinese solar manufacturers, about 20 times more than U.S.-backed loans to solar manufacturers,' Poneman wrote. So again when one of Obama's plans don't work the next step is to just do more and more of it (pass this bill now!)."
"So what is wrong with this wonderful Green Solar Market that will soon make us energy independent? Several things. First there is a softening of demand as buyers find out the cost versus benefits makes no sense with the state of today's solar technology. This is happening as production has increased as all of the government sponsored companies come up to speed in both China and the US. Nothing like producing more as demand decreases (we now call these things bubbles). This softening of demand and increased production has resulted in a 42% plummeting of solar pricing (oops, sales are down, production up, and no profit margins). Put these factors together and you have the typical mess that happens when government tries to create markets (remember the collapse of the Soviet Union and all other Communist economies?). And of course, the Obama energy people will say the problem is we are just not pumping enough taxpayer money in to this loser to compete with the Chinese. Seems like we are afraid if the Chinese get there first they will use up all of the sun's rays before we can get there."
"It is not just the Green Crap that's a mess. Remember when Obama joked that shovel ready jobs from Stimulation #1 weren't so shovel ready. Now he says we just need to do more, more, and more. He says we have over 200 bridges that are not structurally adequate. He says we should fix them before they collapse. What he doesn't say is that many of these bridges are funded and planned but are held up by environmental issues brought on by his own regulatory bureaucracy. Rush Limbaugh says it is Obama's responsibility to publish the list of unsafe bridges so that drivers can avoid them. Makes sense doesn't it, but guess what? Obama could no more produce a list of unsafe bridges, and he will never tell us what is holding up construction. He just wants to pass his $500 billion Stimulation #2 vote buying scam or to not pass it so he can blame the Tea Party if a bridge collapses."
"Obama is just such a sleaze bag. He calls a press conference and stands teachers, cops, and fireman up behind him as backdrops for his American Jobs Bill promising to help the kids with more teachers while putting more desperately needed cops and fireman on duty. Anyone that knows how government works knows that the Federal Government does not provide teachers, cops, nor fireman. These all fall under the control of local government with local tax policies. Most local entities can not run deficits like Obama can. They must balance their budgets, and they have made intelligent trade off choices in most cases (excluding California of course). Local governments are laying off school administrative overhead while renegotiating crazy retirement plans for local cops and firemen. Obama wants to corrupt the process by taking taxpayer money that he doesn't have and giving it to local governments to hire people they can not afford, and in most cases, don't need. This scam is all about trying to con voters into believing Obama is coming to their rescue as he tries to buy votes. What crap!
"Look, this is real simple. To believe in the President's latest plan you would have to believe 4 things:
1. The first stimulation worked,
2. Job creators are not taxed enough,
3. Job creators are not regulated enough,
4. And the government isn't spending enough of your kid's money that we don't have."
"To believe in the Republican plan you need to believe 2 things:
1. Job creators need to know what their taxes, regulations, and health care mandates will be over their planning cycle.
2. Job creators need to know the government will not pick winners and losers, and that markets will be left alone and allowed to operate without political intervention (the auto, financial, medical, and energy industries are being destroyed by the Obamas as we speak)."
"If Obama isn't insulting your intelligence on a daily basis you are either under the age of three or completely senile."
Scott's given we who are still between three and senile something to think,

Why 40% Of The People Still Like Obama?
"Who the hell are the 40% of the American people that like the policies, actions, and results of Barrack Hussein Obama?" was the question posed by Butch Jackson. Folks at the Cafe were somewhat shocked because Butch doesn't ask many questions. He is more likely apt to make pronouncements and things like that.
He continued, "They like that Obama is such a job killer that 1 of 5 people are unemployed or underemployed."
"They like that Obama's economy is not growing and may go back into recession."
"They like that when Obama does something and it fails badly, he explains that he just didn't do enough of it. It is like in the old days when they bled sick people and when the patient got worse, the prognosis was they didn't bleed them enough."
"They like that when Obama spends money, that we don't have, he does it NOW. When he raises taxes, he does it NOW. When he cuts government spending, he does it over TEN YEARS (like never!)."
"They like that Obama's proposed budget which didn’t get one vote in the Senate increased our national debt more than all previous President’s combined, and his tax and spend policies are bankrupting our children before they even get started in life."
"They like that Obama would throw away $500 million of tax payer money just to get photo opportunities for himself and Biden as supporters of Green Energy at a company named Solyndra financed by sleazy Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist who used their government connections to bail them out of a stupid investment driven by Algore’s Global Warming SCAM."
"They like paying almost $4 per gallon of gasoline as Obama is doing everything possible to destroy US sources of energy (oil, coal, nuclear) making us more dependent on the Middle East while stuffing money in the pockets of Man Caused Global Warming Scammers in the name of Green Energy. They like forcing unemployed welfare families to pay more for their inflated groceries associated with rising energy costs."
"They like that Obama is way more supportive of people who are trying to kill Americans around the world like Ahmadinejad in Iran than Netanyahu in Israel, our only ally and the only real democracy in the Middle East. Ahmadinejad who poses a greater threat then Adolph Hitler once he gets nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad who is so popular in some elite circles that he has a planned luncheon with students at Columbia University in the near future. This thug should come to the Hubbard City Cafe if the wants to see what real Americans are like. We would have him for lunch!"
"They like how Obama has thrown other supporters of America under the bus at every turn as evidenced by his support of the thugs in Egypt who overthrew the only government in the Middle East with a peace treaty with Israel. The same thugs that just attacked the Jewish Embassy and ran the diplomats out of their country. Obama praised the ‘Arab Spring’ as people seeking democracy. The truth is the ‘Arab Spring’ is corrupted by Radical Islamic Jihadists who want to slit our throats. Radical Islamic Jihadists, Obama can't even say the words much less defend us against such."
"They like that Obama's supporters call Tea Party people SOBs, barbarians at the gate, racists, and say they can go to hell. Why? Because Tea Partiers want smaller government, lower taxes, and a reduction in our national debt. What sane American wouldn't be a Tea Partier?"
"And what really croaks me is to hear wimps say, 'I like Obama. He is a bright, articulate, and nice person. I just don't like his policies.' What crap? People want to be politically correct because he is our first black President. The truth is no matter what color he is this is not a likable person. He is more deceitful than Clinton. More of a socialist then LBJ, Carter, or Roosevelt. More of a clinical narcissist than Putin. More dangerous than Adolph Hitler because he has infiltrated the one nation in the world that stands for freedom. More racist than Waters, Jackson, Rangel, and Sharpton. More divisive to our country than Ayres, the Chicago Seven, and the Black Panthers combined. More incompetent as a defender of our security, our economy, or our constitution than a college graduate in their first year out in the real world. More void of leadership skills then the lowest ranking foot soldier in a second rate fire ant bed. More lazy than a bird dog in the middle of July what with him spending most of his time on the golf course or in front of a TV watching ‘hoops’."
"So who likes this guy and why?"
And of course Billy Roy Mitchum answered:
"First, people who want the government to take away other people’s money and give it to them in the name of fairness and bad luck. These folks think Obama is Robin Hood."
"Next, come people who want to be part of the Ruling Elite because they want CONTROL for their own personal gain and because they ‘know best’ that you just can’t trust ordinary people and particularly free enterprise. Even though they believe you can't trust the American people, the elitist believe you can trick them."
"And there are still some of those really bright people whose ancestors were Democrats, and therefore they will always be Democrats."
"There are weird people who worship some social issue like aborting babies, hating religion, or wanting to live a life style outside the traditional family without guilt (gays, polygamists, child pornographers, etc.). They love to trade their votes for Obama's support of their perversions."
"And then of course you have some people who prostitute themselves to organizations (like unions) who they falsely think will get them special privileges and security. And of course any special privileges would come at the expense of others. Unions have always been the foundations of Communism and the enemy of individual liberty."
My thanks to Butch and BM for another timely topic as Obama's numbers shrink below the 40% mark and the CARING number surges past 60%.
Think about it and keep the momentum going,
Jim

If You Are Not Insulted, You Are Either Stupid Or Corrupt Or "Unexplainable"
Never has Obama insulted the American people's intelligence more than with the crap he called a 'Jobs Plan'.
Obama's speech should have provided solutions to the question, 'Why aren't American companies hiring(creating jobs)?' These solutions should correct or improve the following issues:
1. The US economy under Obama's leadership is not growing and therefore not creating the need for businesses to add additional employees.
2. Obamacare has created an environment of uncertainty throughout the business world not knowing what their increased costs will be, what new taxes they will have to pay, and what mandates are coming down and when.
3. Government regulations have created an unnecessary shortage of energy resulting in inflationary costs across the board (food, supplies, raw materials, transportation, etc.). The green energy give aways are scams. Government should leave energy inovation to the private sector.
4. Obama, in the name of fairness, has constantly threatened to raise taxes on small business owners from their current rate of 35% as he calls them greedy rich people not paying their fair share. This creates more uncertainty among small business owners. This same is true for corporations who pay higher taxes than most foreign competitors.
5. All companies are choking on government regulations as the Obama administration has set historic records in passing regulations to control and stifle business. The annual costs of regulations to businesses in now in the Trillions.
6. All tax payers from large companies to individuals have been threatened by Obama that they will lose their 'tax loopholes' which is another way of raising taxes and reducing a company or individuals ability to invest and expand. Big oil companies who are completely over-taxed and over-regulated in both exploration and production are prime targets for Obama's threats. Homeowners are afraid they will lose their mortgage rate deductions. Eliminating the charitable giving 'tax loophole' would destroy local and national charities leaving only the government to make the needy even more dependent on tax payers.
7. Lastly our tax structure is a complete mess. Taxes need to be lowered and the system needs reform from top to bottom.
So what were Obama's answers to these issues last night?
The biggest element in Obama's plan calls for increasing and extending a payroll tax cut for workers that goes to Social Security, while providing the tax cut to employers, too. For workers, the tax that has been cut from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for this year would fall to 3.1 percent under Obama's plan -- a $175 billion cost. The tax will go back up to 6.2 percent by the end of the year. For this year this is an additional cut of 1.1%. With the issues facing business people today, who would go out and hire anyone because they will receive a tax credit this year that is an average of $440 for an employee that makes $40,000 that they will turnaround and lose next year? Not to mention that Social Security is the last place that we need to be robbing AGAIN.
Next there are incentives (tax credits) to hire workers who have been on unemployment for longer than 6 months, for hiring veterans, and for hiring disadvantaged youths for summer jobs. Does anyone believe that business people would forget all of the Obama uncertainties because they would receive a temporary tax credit? Would they hire one additional person that they would not hire anyway? Uncertainty is eliminated by taking PERMANENT ACTIONS THAT AMERICANS CAN RELY ON. Adding temporary government hoops for business people to jump through only adds uncertainty.
The icing on the cake is to extend unemployment for 12 more months paying people not to work and calling it job creation while taking federal money, that we don't have, to hire teachers after local governments have trimmed unnecessary positions with the sole purpose of buying teacher union votes.
And then of course Obama is once again going to build bridges, tunnels, schools, highways, and anything else that would support his union campaign contributors AGAIN. This is just more 'shovel ready shit' that spends tons of tax payer money and never amounts to anything. Schools, highways, and bridges should be managed LOCALLY to avoid as much corruption and waste as is possible.
And then Obama closes with the greatest LIE ever. All of this will be paid for! Do the folks understand by now that when Obama spends money he does it NOW. When he cuts government spending he does it over 10 to 12 years, BACK END LOADED. So in this case he will spend $450 Billion NOW. He will add this to the $1.5 Trillion that he promised to cut to get his $2.5 Trillion debt ceiling raised and ask his committee to make the cuts over 10 years. He doesn't want to make them too quickly because it might hurt his recovery. Recovery my ass!
One last farce. Miss Michelle sits by the CEO from GE, Jeffrey Immelt, who pays no taxes and moves operations to China. Obama again references Warren Buffett who is begging for tax increases on the wealthy because his secretary pays a higher tax rate than Warren. Facts: Warren takes money from his operations in stock not income. Therefore he pays the 15% capital gains tax not the income tax that he wants to raise on small business owners. Also, Warren is a multi-billionaire who needs no income. He is pledged to give much of his wealth to Bill Gates foundations to avoid inheritance taxes. Buffet, like, GE will pay little to no taxes. Of all of Obama's horseshit nothing smells more than this. Buffet should be ashamed and the GE CEO, Immelt, should have no association with government officials.
So what will happen as a result of the jobs speech to congress. NOTHING!!! Very little of this will pass and what does pass will have no effect of job creation. Meanwhile Obama will say if the Tea Party would have passed his jobs bill we would be in recovery by November, 2012. Obama is plagued by a do nothing congress. Put him and the Socialist back in control in 2012 and everything will be OK, AGAIN.
I hope every reader of this posting is sufficiently INSULTED.

Republican Candidates Rout MSNBC, a.k.a Pravda
"For some strange reason the Republicans agreed to let MSNBC to come into, and in doing so, to desecrate, the Reagan Library to televise a debate of the Republican Candidates. All but two of these candidates are good Reagan Conservatives. One is Ron Paul a Libertarian (and just can't seem to help himself). The other. who I can't remember his name and don't want to, is a former Obama Liberal Ambassador to China (and just can't help himself)," by now you regular readers know this was a Cafe Coffee Kickoff by none other than Butch Jackson. "Every one knows the Libs version of Russia's old Pravda propaganda machine is MSNBC which is owned by Obama's lackey, General Electric. Just look at their lineup, Rachel Maddow, Charlie Rangel, Bryan Williams, Al Sharpton, etc. These guys are to the left of old George McGovern. Their questions followed the old idiot gotcha style, 'Governor Perry, polls show that Texas leads the nation in wife beatings. An advisor to one of your opponents has said that you beat your wife. Are you still beating your wife, and what do you use as a weapon is these beatings?' This type of question from people who would never ask Obama where he was born? What are his academic credentials? What positions of leadership have you ever held? etc."
"All true, Butch," responded the un-official Chairman of the Hubbard City Cafe and world renown and semi-local country and western multi-star who performs with less than zero effort, Billy Roy Mitcham. "Even though the Commies controlled the mike, the questions, and the agenda they got their asses kicked up between their elbows. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Williams asked Governor Perry if he could sleep at night knowing that Texas leads the nation in killing over 250 people during his term and that one of these people might be innocent? First the audience interrupted the question when they heard Texas was in the lead in capital punishment. Then they loved Perry's answer that if you come into our state and murder a citizen you will face justice and lose your life.
2. Romney, who was governor of the most liberal state in the union, Massachusetts, had a great line to explain the difference in Perry's record and his record as a governor, 'Texas is a great state. It has a Republican Congress, a Republican Supreme Court, is a right to work state, has no income tax, and a lot of oil and gas under the ground.' He also came to Perry's rescue when everyone was beating on Perry about mandatory, with an opt out, vaccinations that he passed around the state legislature. Romney said that Perry's intentions were honorable, and that Perry had said he would do it differently if given a chance. Romney said, 'We would all like to have a couple of mulligans with decisions we have made.' I think Romney was more Presidential and won this round of debates except for Newt, who always wins debates but isn't taken seriously as a viable candidate at this time.
3. The Commies attacked Romney who ran Bain, a very respected investment and consulting firm, about taking over companies and taking them apart by laying off people. They painted this practice called 'turnarounds' as ugly and despicable. Even though Romney didn't say so the ironic thing is this is exactly what the next President needs to do this with the federal government. He needs to take it apart and eliminate all the pieces that don't work. He needs to dramatically downsize the size of government and return it to a balanced budget while eliminating the insane debt that has been accumulated. At the end of Obama's term he will have created more debt in four years than the cumulative total of all previous presidents.
4. Bryan Williams told Ron Paul a bullshit story about LBJ going to an elementary school and seeing the distended stomachs of starving children asking Paul if he would like to kill the free lunch programs for starving children eventhough the current liberal crisis is nutrition not starvation. Michelle and crew want to fix fat kids by giving away nutritious meals. Paul killed the question. He said, 'Why do people like you think that when we say every problem shouldn't be answered with a federal 'give away' program instead of letting the local people and government handle real welfare needs that we lack compassion?' Great answer, but again unsaid, is that LBJ coming off the JFK assassination stuffed the Great Society down our throats which has led to the nanny state that is destroying this country. LBJ probably has done more damage than FDR. Given 8 years BHO will do more damage than either.
5. The big question aimed at Perry was about him using the term Ponzi scheme to describe Social Security. First, what is a Ponzi scheme? A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the contributed funds, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going. The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors. Social Security is a classic Ponzi scheme, and as our birth rates fall and work force grows slower that retirees the system will collapse if not changed.
Perry says number one he would not change the system for older people dependent on SS. However, he says it must be fixed because it will be insolvent for younger tax payers. Perry is absolutely right. Because he tells it like it is (the truth) he is considered in today's political correct world an extremist.
6. Lastly, as is usually the case, Newt said it all when he called out the MSNBC Obama lackeys, "I'm not interested in helping your efforts to get Republicans to fight each other."
Bottom Line, our guys won, big time."

"All true, Butch," responded the un-official Chairman of the Hubbard City Cafe and world renown and semi-local country and western multi-star who performs with less than zero effort, Billy Roy Mitcham. "Even though the Commies controlled the mike, the questions, and the agenda they got their asses kicked up between their elbows. Here are some of my favorites:
1. Williams asked Governor Perry if he could sleep at night knowing that Texas leads the nation in killing over 250 people during his term and that one of these people might be innocent? First the audience interrupted the question when they heard Texas was in the lead in capital punishment. Then they loved Perry's answer that if you come into our state and murder a citizen you will face justice and lose your life.
2. Romney, who was governor of the most liberal state in the union, Massachusetts, had a great line to explain the difference in Perry's record and his record as a governor, 'Texas is a great state. It has a Republican Congress, a Republican Supreme Court, is a right to work state, has no income tax, and a lot of oil and gas under the ground.' He also came to Perry's rescue when everyone was beating on Perry about mandatory, with an opt out, vaccinations that he passed around the state legislature. Romney said that Perry's intentions were honorable, and that Perry had said he would do it differently if given a chance. Romney said, 'We would all like to have a couple of mulligans with decisions we have made.' I think Romney was more Presidential and won this round of debates except for Newt, who always wins debates but isn't taken seriously as a viable candidate at this time.
3. The Commies attacked Romney who ran Bain, a very respected investment and consulting firm, about taking over companies and taking them apart by laying off people. They painted this practice called 'turnarounds' as ugly and despicable. Even though Romney didn't say so the ironic thing is this is exactly what the next President needs to do this with the federal government. He needs to take it apart and eliminate all the pieces that don't work. He needs to dramatically downsize the size of government and return it to a balanced budget while eliminating the insane debt that has been accumulated. At the end of Obama's term he will have created more debt in four years than the cumulative total of all previous presidents.
4. Bryan Williams told Ron Paul a bullshit story about LBJ going to an elementary school and seeing the distended stomachs of starving children asking Paul if he would like to kill the free lunch programs for starving children eventhough the current liberal crisis is nutrition not starvation. Michelle and crew want to fix fat kids by giving away nutritious meals. Paul killed the question. He said, 'Why do people like you think that when we say every problem shouldn't be answered with a federal 'give away' program instead of letting the local people and government handle real welfare needs that we lack compassion?' Great answer, but again unsaid, is that LBJ coming off the JFK assassination stuffed the Great Society down our throats which has led to the nanny state that is destroying this country. LBJ probably has done more damage than FDR. Given 8 years BHO will do more damage than either.
5. The big question aimed at Perry was about him using the term Ponzi scheme to describe Social Security. First, what is a Ponzi scheme? A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors, not from any actual profit earned by the contributed funds, but from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going. The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors. Social Security is a classic Ponzi scheme, and as our birth rates fall and work force grows slower that retirees the system will collapse if not changed.
Perry says number one he would not change the system for older people dependent on SS. However, he says it must be fixed because it will be insolvent for younger tax payers. Perry is absolutely right. Because he tells it like it is (the truth) he is considered in today's political correct world an extremist.
6. Lastly, as is usually the case, Newt said it all when he called out the MSNBC Obama lackeys, "I'm not interested in helping your efforts to get Republicans to fight each other."
Bottom Line, our guys won, big time."

Cafe Wants To Clean House At The University of Texas
Since the University of Texas is the state university being a land grant school and all, and since many folks at the Hubbard City Cafe are big time football fans to say the least, and therefore since these two powerful forces come together every fall, you might say there is some excessive hooking of horns about this time of year. Some of the Cafe loyal ain't happy!!
"Seems like UT has gotten a little too big for their britches. Prior to the arrival of Mack Brown, the UT elite seemed to cut ties to alumni and fans. Everything was about the big bucks and a handful of contributors that ran everything. Long time faithful season ticket holders were forced out because they wouldn't make large contributions to go along with high ticket prices. Meanwhile UT lost it's status as a national power. When Brown arrived he was somewhat smart in bringing Darrel Royal back into the fold and catering to alumni and Texas high school football coaches around the state. This was a great move and resulted in phenomenal recruiting which made up for really bad coaching from Brown, Gregg Davis, and crew," Butch opened the discussion with a history lesson and some editorial comments as well. "Great players like Rickie Williams, Vince Young, and a skinny kid named Applewhite made up for a lack of creativity and softness in coaching. UCLA players said Texas players 'look like Tarzan, play like Jane'. Those who were kind said the Mack Brown scheme was built on execution. This meant Mack did great as long as his players were twice as good as your well coached players."
"Right on Butch. And most recently the arrogance of the Texas elite has returned big time. With UT stinking it up last year with only 5 victories and 2 at home due to horrible coaching from Mack Brown's pals the arrogance ran amuck. Brown got mad at fans, press, and everyone else who criticized him. He locked the press and fans out of practices and sulked like a baby when he was forced to fire his buddy Gregg Davis and other coaches. Brown is fortunate that Texas is what Texas is producing the best high school football players in the USA and the greatest loyalty to their state and universities, not to mention that UT is rolling in money. Because Texas is what Texas is Brown was able to attract a great defensive coach and an even better offensive coordinator from Boise State. This past Saturday night was the first time in years where I felt UT 'outcoached' their opponent, that being Rice."
"So is Texas elite arrogance under control. Not even close. They have destroyed the Big Twelve Conference in a way that most Texans would be ashamed of if they knew the facts. Sheer greed and arrogance have created a Longhorn Network among other things that has already driven Colorado and Nebraska out of the conference with Texas A&M in the process of leaving. Oklahoma, Missouri, and Oklahoma State will make moves in the next few weeks."
"Why? No body likes a bully. It is best summed up by Oklahoma State mega-booster T. Boone Pickens, 'DeLoss Dodds (UT Athletic Director) had too may cards, and he played every damn one of them. You get tired of saying aahh while you get something shoved down your throat.' T. Boone thinks the Oklahoma schools will wind up in the Pac 12 with Colorado. And as is always the case with the elite and arrogant, they are also incompetent. Saturday night the much publicized Longhorn Network that is causing much of the trouble was not able to televise the Rice/UT game to most of the nation including Austin, Texas. As happens when folks get too big for their britches, shit happens. And it is happening at forth acres. DeLoss Dodds is a very small man compared to the people he is ignoring. People like conference partners, honest sports writers, season ticket holders, taxpayers, intelligent kids who would love to attend their state university, and loyal sports fans. Nope, DeLoss, Mack, and crew are pretty small and getting smaller every day that they keep their heads where the sun don't shine."
Aunt Martha, local librarian and columnist of much local renown, introduced the little discussed topic of academics, "How about arrogance in admissions. Our state land grant school is not open to most Texas kids while admitting non-citizens from all over the world. Their professors rarely teach and bask in their academic standings instead of educating and preparing TEXAS KIDS. It is the same elite arrogant attitude that rules athletics. Mack seems to spend a good part of his time just trying to get his 'student atheletes' out of jail."
BM summed up, "Rarely do I call for government interference, but in this case I think Texas legislators need to get off their asses and represent the taxpayers and sports fans of the great State of Texas and clear some elite and arrogant asses out of 40 acres. I would start with Dodds and Brown and the University President and the Board of Regents. Next they should unload tons of professors who are not shouldering their teaching load. Give our University back to the folks."

Cafe Joins With Obama On A Three Step Program To Save America
Whoa, strange things are happening at the Cafe. Both Butch and Billy Roy pulled up in the parking lot this week with huge 'Obama' bumper stickers. What??
What with Obama coming out Thursday in an NFL pregame show to save America (one more time) the folk's at the Cafe are pretty excited. Seems they are taking the President at his word that he is putting all politics aside and is going to,"just focus on getting America back to work while putting money into the pockets of American families."
Evidently Butch and Billy Roy are getting leaks from the White House because they were pre-empting their newly found favorite President with the major points of his address.
Butch says, "At last this President is living up to the expectations the American people have for him. This address Thursday will give, not only the nation, but the world more 'hope' than any action a President has ever taken. And the 'change' will be unprecedented."
"Right on Butch, and he is keeping it simple with just a plain three step program. We probably shouldn't be doing this but Butch and I are going to leak the key points just to the Cafe, and you guys will see why we are so excited. Hold on to your seats, and here we go!"
"Step One: Vice President Biden will resign his office immediately taking a job as a conductor on his favorite train in Delaware.
Step Two: President Obama will resign his office immediately joining Qaddafi in applying for membership in the Algerian Golf and Country Club.
Step Three: President Boehner will submit the following bills to Congress immediately
1. Repeal Obamacare.
2. Repeal Dodd/Frank Financial Regulations.
3. Freeze EPA from releasing new regulations.
4. Eliminate double taxation on American companies when they bring overseas profits back to the US.
5. Simplify and reform the tax system by lowering tax rates and expanding the tax base.
6. Eliminate Capital Gains taxes.
7. Pass a balanced budget amendment."
Mom had a question, "Why so much regulation stuff?"
"Because as we speak," BM loved this question, "the Federal Government is suing 17 major American Banks for making loans, while at the same time, criticizing them for not lending money. The government forced these banks to make loans to their constituents who could not repay the mortagages on their homes. They told the banks not to worry because Freddie and Fannie would buy the loans and make everything OK. Now they are suing the banks for misrepresenting the quality of these loans to poor Freddie and Fannie who the govenment is bailing out with taxpayer money. This is what happens when the government gets involved in what should be free markets. Regulations lead to manipulation which leads to diaster."
And the coffee drinkers joined Butch and BM in praising the President with a big "AMEN".
Think about it and say your prayers,
Jim

Retraction Of The Welfare Story
The story, "Making Obama-babies and Money in the Good Old USA" posted on August 20 was allegedly about a welfare ggrandmother receiving $1,500 per child and more than $144,000 annually by serving a a foster parent for her daughters children appears to have several misstated facts and maybe entirely untrue. It was supposed to be based on a letter from a Sebastian J. Ciancio, M.D. Urologist, Danville Polyclinic, LTD. This doctor reported that he heard the story from someone who was admitted to the emergency room. The State of Illinois pays more like $400 per child instead of the reported $1,500. Several other things in the report are highly questionable.
I sincerely apologize for not fact checking this letter before I posted it. I am also grateful for a regular blog reader calling this to my attention.
This unfortunant report does not change the fact that our welfare system is out of control and fraught with fraud as evidenced by the following facts:
Despite spending $4 Trillion from 2002 to 2009 our poverty rate increased from 12% to 14%, a 16% increase.
So is our spending at fault in not preventing additional proverty? From the year 2002 to 2011 we had the following percentage increases in spending in these welfare categories:
Medicaid up 87%
Food Stamps 256%
Child Nutrition 82%
Energy Assistance 190%
Tax Credits 353%
Today 53% of immigrants to the USA receive some form of government assistance. Many of these are illegals.
The most destructive aspect of this wealth redistribution is the creation of a culture of dependence and reliance. Some call it a "nanny state". While that is clearly the intent of the elite ruling class it will ultimately destroy our way of life if it remains unchecked. Our country is built on self reliance and hard work, and then charity only in rare situations and always under close supervision. Today welfare is not rare and the 50+ million Americans that receive it are not means tested nor monitored.
Again sorry for the misinformation, but not for the message.
Think about it,
Jim
P. S. One reader objected to the title. I guess this person found "Obama-babies" insulting. I feel those who are perpetrating these wealth redistribution plans to buy votes (Obama, Reid, Pelosi, etc.) should be insulted along with those who participate in milking the system. An Obama-baby would be one that was born out of wedlock to increase a mother's welfare check. No child should be used for this purpose.
