I'm just sayin...

So ACORN, yes the scandal riddle company that President Obama used to work for, and one that the federal government throws tons of our tax payer dollars at, was just exposed (again) by a couple of aspiring journalists.

The problem? Yeah these journalists went in to ask the “tax advisers” how they could set up a prostitution ring with children and avoid tax penalties. ACORN actually gave them tax advice…basically, don’t pay your taxes and call them something other than prostitutes.

You can read more about it here: ACORN Exposed

Of course this isn’t major news today because it’s 9/11 and because *gasp* the government supports ACORN.

Critics are particularly upset about lesson plans the administration created to accompany the speech. The lesson plans, available online, originally recommended having students “write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.” The White House revised the plans Wednesday to say students could “write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short-term and long-term education goals.”
“That was inartfully worded, and we corrected it,” Higginbottom said.

The Associated Press: Obama speech to students draws conservative ire

Much of the uproar is over-the-top, but still … it would have been completely inappropriate for Obama to commandeer the attention of a truly captive young audience for the purpose of telling them to write letters to themselves “about what they can do to help the president.”  Such brazen self-aggrandizement naturally makes people skeptical of Obama’s motives.  The administration always seems to err on the side of creepy.  (“Inartfully worded?”—no … what you changed it to is nowhere near what it was).  Needless to say, no student or citizen should feel obligated to help the President do anything.

People should be upset about this.  That doesn’t mean they should call Obama a fascist or a communist.  You don’t have to call someone a name to call them out for bad behavior.  And make no mistake, this was bad behavior.

The President should focus more on how he can help schoolchildren than on how they can help him.

(via jeffmiller)

by “inartfully worded” i think he means, “wow, i can’t believe you jokers picked up on that. we’ll be more subtle next time.” that the department of education saw the initial curriculum fit for dissemination, while not surprising, should be cause for serious concern.

Get ready to pay more for your food

So the government has essentially shut down many farms in northern California. Why? To save a little fish that doesn’t need saving…in the middle of a drought. Yes, there is a fish that environmentalists are afraid “needs more water” yet other groups claim it is not endangered at all. So the result? Let’s totally redirect irrigation away from the farms creating a federally mandated dust bowl.

Oh by the way, these farms produce over 50% of the fruits and vegetables in the country and it takes years for them to rebuild these types of farms.

So get ready for higher food costs and dryer lands and of course, endangering the economy even more.

Good work!

How do you know when caffeine deprivation has set in?

You start yelling at automated phone services when they can’t recognize the words you are saying.

” I said customer service!” CUSTOMER SERVICE!”…

You will rue the day automated phone lady, RUE. THE. DAY!
