Dennis Miller is right.

On the Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” Wednesday night, comedian and radio talk show host Dennis Miller sounded off about Republican’s so-called “war on women,” taking aim at Democratic National Convention speaker and self-proclaimed birth control activist Sandra Fluke. According to Miller, Fluke would do a lot for her country if she would quit complaining about birth control.
Last week, NBC’s “The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno confronted Miller about his politics and told him why he identifies with Democrats over Republicans. One of those reasons Leno alleged was the Republican “war on women,” which Miller responded to in depth to O’Reilly.
“There’s a war on women, as per the progressives in this country, yet we’re prohibited from saying ‘war on terror’ — or asked by the president,” Miller said.
“Note the events of today: We’re talking about a war on women with a woman who quite frankly reminds me of that character — the little whiny girl in Willy Wonka — Veruca Salt. ‘Daddy, I want my own Oompa Loompa,’ is code for, ‘Hey you, pay for my diaphragm.’ People are sick of it.”
“Honey, you become a retainer person after you get your law degree, not before,” Miller said, talking to Fluke. “If the president is asking everybody to grab an oar and chip in here, yours should be, ‘Stop whining about birth control for a while.’”
“Grab that oar. Take care of it. You are a 31-year-old woman who’s stuck in a Virginia Slims magazine ad from 1968. Get with it! This will show you how stratified this country is right now. If we can’t have unanimity on somebody like Sandra Fluke and say, ‘For God’s sake you helpless creature,’ we really are polarized because there is no other time in history that 100 percent of the population, including women, would have said, ‘Dammit, you don’t speak for me. You’re embarrassing me. Shut up, get a little Professor Quinn or ‘Dr. Quinn, medicine woman’ gumption and shut up about it.”
Host Bill O’Reilly said Miller might be on to more than he realizes since it’s taboo to say “war on terror” with the left, but “war on women” is allowed. Miller explained that the semantics are part of the left’s effort to disprove the right on everything. But at some point, he added, they have to be right about something.
“The left, Billy — it’s like Alec Guinness at the end of ‘Bridge on the River Kwai.’ I’m asking you out there, liberals, somewhere you’ve got to wake up,” Miller said. “Every time we disagree with you we can’t be wrong. We can’t be stupid like Palin. We can’t be an Uncle Tom like Artur Davis. We can’t be a rich guy who doesn’t care about people. We can’t be all those things. Maybe we have a point on some of this.”
“You have to wake up and quit being victimized avengers where everybody has a super power that puts them down. Stop it now. There’s half of us out here who are scared witless that this president doesn’t step up when [Joe] Biden says guys like me and O’Reilly want to enslave black people again and the president doesn’t say, ‘Hey, I meant it after Gabby Giffords. I want to stop this craziness. This country’s getting too pissed off at each other, now stop it, Biden. You I can command. You are my second in command, Shemp.’”
“Biden’s so stupid at this point,” Miller concluded, “he needs a spotter to play Sudoku.”

This is Success???

One of President Obama's claimed successes was the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler.  It is questionable just how "successful" this bailout actually was and is.

After all the carnage--stockholders were fleeced, hundreds of thousands of autoworkers lost their jobs, several thousand small businesses were obliterated, thousands of loyal nonunion workers had their pensions ripped away, and the UAW got rich.

General Motors is enjoying a federally gifted ten year tax holiday.  Speaking of paying no taxes, a slimmed dpwn General Motors is paying far less taxes at the local level and those they do pay are on their way to the State Tax Commission in expensive tax assessment disputes with various GM communities in Michigan.  There is certain to be more carnage in the next three years.

GM's diminished tax footprint in Michigan means layoffs in the state and local public employee ranks, reduced services, and operations.  While former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm electrified the Democratic Party Convention, she shrieked on about "American jobs."  There was no mention of Fiat's acquisition of Chrylser. That is Fiat, an Italian automaker. 

So, when you hear about the success of General Motors and Chyslerini, consider that Bain Capital could never have wreaked such a significant level of economic havoc in its wildest "greedy", "bloodsucking", "parasitic", capitalist dreams.

There are some thoughtful suggestions that the bailout of the auto companies was particularly bad for Michigan, way too long dependent on the auto industry.  Allowing the auto industry's self directed path to destruction might have finally forced Michigan to get its act together for the NEXT BIG THING.

When you hear about this "success", ask yourself the meaning of success.

In my contrarian world, success is spelled FORD.

Congratulations! As an American, you now owe......

The United States is now $16 trillion in debt and we face another $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.  That means as a citizen, you now owe $360,000 to somebody, probably, China.
But wait!  There's more--how about $4 trillion in unfunded state liabilities?
Tack that cost on as well and your number grows exponentially.
Plus, one out of seven Americans are now on food stamps, with our Federal Government advertising the program for more dependents, not only in the U.S., but Mexico as well.
Do you now see why the busy little Sandra Fluke ought to pay for her own birth control?

Living in West Michigan

They were amazed when they saw Lake Michigan. " It's an ocean", they exclaimed.  Though globally educated, they asked if the lake water was salt water.

The family was taken down 74 steps to my beach and the girls in the family immediately began playing footsie with the lake waves breaking on the beach.

Then we went up to the Oval Beach in Saugatuck, advertised as one of Michigan's most scenic beaches.  Back when I was young and single, it was VERY scenic.  But that is another time. 

There were three kite surfers that were putting on a very good show, for awhile, completely absorbing our attention. 

At the end of the day, the family, which never before has seen this part of Michigan, stamped out in the sand, "We love Michigan".

I'm not saying a thing

I was Born in one country, raised in another....

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country.

I was not his only child.

He fathered several children with numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.

My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy.

No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.

I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40's.

They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.

Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.

I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.

This bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...

I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.

I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free .

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.

It was the free market, banks and corporations .

I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign."

That sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change our country and the world..

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted minorities".

My true views were not widely known and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they didn't.

Then I became the most powerful man in the world.

And then the world learned the truth.

Who am I?

Keep Your Fat Hands Off My Retirement!!

One of the indicators of the paucity of intelligent processes among the Occupy Wall Street crowd was and is their insistence on the abolition of fossil fuels.  I am certain these intergalactic types can easily imagine an economy of sun and winds so that they can pull their bright shiny electric car up to the electric charger and drive off.  So they call for an end to oil and to natural gas.  They will fall into lockstep with an Administration and presidential campaign that has promised and succeeded in making life as miserable as possible for the fossil fuel economy.  The real buttboy of all this negative energy (so to speak) will be the oil and gas companies.  Mr. Obama has called for the elimination of tax credits and subsidies for the oil companies.  He has remained curiously silent about similar tax credits, LOANS, and subsidies for the so-called "green energy" sector, I suppose, because he has some very good friends and contributors in that business, and because he knows his following is very susceptible to selective outrage and rampaging dimwittedness.
An unintended consequence of "sticking it to the oil companies" is that the Obama Administration will succeed in reducing the value of retirement accounts for many, many Americans.
More evidence of rampaging dimwittedness is the belief that the owners,  officers, and directors of the oil companies are cleaning up while the rest of us have to pay high prices for fuel.  Here is a newsflash!!  Only about one percent of shares in five major oil companies are so owned.  The other owners happen to be millions of Americans who have their retirement living tied to the performance of the oil companies.
As if that wasn't bad enough in the misdirection department, oil companies constitute a disproportionate share of returns on investments in retirement income accounts.
And if that wasn't bad enough, many retirement systems in our financially strapped states have significant investments in oil companies--like the Teachers' Unions, and Police and Fire Unions.  So, it stands to reason that if we bash and punish the oil companies, the miserable consequences of our vulture attack will be to drive our elderly and retirees deeper in economic and financial discomfort.
Does this sound like a bunch that is interested in "growing the Middle Class"?

Olympics

Congratulations to the US Olmpic Team.  We piled up the metals because so many excellent young people worked hard everyday and committed themselves to winning.  Knowing they would come up against the world's best only stimulated them to achieve the heights of American exceptionalism.  I just hope they don't get punished for their success.
