NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg a Hypocrite?
Written by admin on September 30, 2008 – 10:20 am -
Is Michael Bloomberg a Hypocrite? I think he is. I will explain after I explained what he is about to try and pull. I just read an article in the NY Times about how the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is expected to run for a third term as mayor.
In an act that promises to upend New York City’s political world, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg plans to announce Thursday that he will seek a third term as mayor, according to four people who have been told of his intentions.
In his appearance on Thursday, they said, Mr. Bloomberg, a former Wall Street trader and the founder of a billion-dollar financial data firm, will argue that the worldwide financial crisis — with its potentially severe impact on New York City — demands his steady hand and business experience.
You can read the whole article here, but I wouldn’t even bother. It is just filled with lap dog statements from people like former mayor Ed Koch about how it’s such a good idea and what kind of great leader this fool is.
Then you have one guy Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a likely mayoral candidate, who said through a spokesman, of course, “It’s illegal to run for a third term.” Yeah, Bloomberg, it is illegal! The people of New York voted on it twice and they said only two terms. Do the people have to vote on it agian? Is that how politicians work? You just keep having a vote until it comes out your way?
Let me get this straight. You, Michael Bloomberg, want to run for a third term, but when Rudy Giuliani wanted to run for a third term, during the 911 terrorist attacks, you where freaking out and crying like a little girl about how he couldn’t, it was the law. Rudy couldn’t run again, he had to show that democracy could still work, even in a national crisis. We didn’t need his expertise, right? But now we need yours’?
Now that there’s an economic crisis Michael Bloomberg seems to think we need his expertise. What kind of expertise Bloomberg? You already said that you’re going to have to raise the taxes by 7% next year. That sure will help things in the city and the surrounding area. Oh , and aren’t you the guy that lets city employees take home city government cars for personal use. Yeah, that kind of expertise is really needed. Well, if we didn’t need Rudy’s when we were attacked during 911, I’m sure we don’t need yours either.
Bloomberg should be aware that if he is successful, it means Rudy Giuliani can run again too. Good luck!

82 Year Old Man Tasered By Police!
Written by admin on September 29, 2008 – 5:59 pm -
It seems the police are at it again. What’s with these people and their taser guns? It’s like they have a new toy that they just can’t top playing with. Well, this time it is an 82 year old man named Frank Lasser ( that’s his real name, no joke ), who was just recovering from bypass surgery. The police had to have seen that he was fragile and was carrying an apparatus to provide oxygen at all times since his surgery.
You can read the whole article here, But it really doesn’t say much more than he was in his hospital bed when the police came in and said they don’t have time for this and proceeded to taser the eighty two year old man.
The police could have easily subdued him, if they took the time to try. It seems like they didn’t even try. Frank Lasser said that he sometimes gets delusional when he can’t breathe properly. It appears he pulled a knife out of his pocket and the nurses called the police.
My question is, doesn’t the hospital have it’s own security? Can’t they handle a sickly 82 year old man. What do they do in a nursing home, call the police everytime a senile old person starts acting up. What did he do, pull a pocket knife out of his hospital shirt? They’re acting like this old guy who has pneumonia, just had bypass surgery and carries an oxygen tank around was some kind of maniac with super human strength. Give me a break! And as for the police, they’re just a bunch a gutless punks.

Credit Crisis Quotes from the “Experts”.
Written by admin on September 28, 2008 – 3:33 pm -
Here’s are some quotes I came across that you all might find interesting. It just goes to show you that you really can’t trust the so called “Experts” or “Leaders”. They really have no clue. Either they are all in on some sort of conspiracy or they are as dumb and ignorant as 80% of the general public. Maybe they are just like the rest of us, going through our day, just going through the motions, saying what they think everyone wants to hear, just so they can get through the day and go home and relax. It’s funny, all of the statements that were said back in the 30’s are the same things I have heard today. What is it they say,” those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it!.”
As for the 700 Billion dollar bailout, we have all heard the arguments for and against it, but there is no use even wasting your breath. It’s going to happen, maybe when you read this it has already passe. As soon as you heard it on the news, just assume that it has already happened. All of the debate that Congress and the Senate were having is just for show. That was just to get you prepared for the inevitable.
OK, now that they’ve dumped all of their bad paper on to the American taxpayer, now what? The experts say that the banking system can go on as usual. Oh Yeah?! As usual? I don’t think so! The only way the financial system was working in the first place was when they were repackaging these mortgage products and loans and handing out easy credit to anyone that had a pulse. You think it’s going to be business as usual? You think people can adjust to placing 20% down payments on a loan with collateral over night? I don’t think so. So basically what they have done has placed all of their losses on to you. Thanks!
And now that it will be more difficult to access credit in the future, what kind of an effect will that have on our economy, if not the worlds? Where are we going to get all of the money needed to continue with over indulgent life styles. No credit? No home equity, because you own more on the home than it’s worth? Can’t buy that plasma TV? No need to make it in China, he is out of a job. Can’t go on vacation? No need to have these locals hanging around to serve you. Can’t go out to dinner? No need to stay open anymore. And the list goes on and one.
Enjoy the quotes from the last real credit crisis. I am sure you will find some very familiar. Should I have included any quotes from The President, George W. Bush, Secretary of the Treasury, Hank Paulson or Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke? Or are they just too obvious? I think they are just too obvious. Just last week they were before Congress saying the economy is strong and on path and the housing crisis is contained. If it wasn’t so serious, this would be comical.

Great Depression of 2008!
Written by admin on September 17, 2008 – 10:51 am -I guess history never repeats, right!? This is gonna get bad. The federal reserve was supposedly set up to stop anything like this from happening again. They were supposed to keep credit in in check, but what did they do? Now we have a credit bubble twice the size than we did during the great depression and it’s not just the U.S., the whole world was drunk on free easy credit. Well, somebody is gonna have to pay for your new plasma tv and your big empty house. What did you think, it was free!?

Obama not even qualified to be FBI agent!
Written by admin on September 12, 2008 – 7:08 pm - 
Barack Obama wouldn’t even qualify to become and FBI agent and people are willing to place him in charge of them.
Before you are able to become an FBI agent you are put through a series of interviews to see if you qualify and one of the things they look at are the people that you are associated with.
Right off the top of my head I think of William Ayers and Barack Obama’s association with him.
According to wikipedia William Charles “Bill” Ayers is an American Distinguished Professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is most well known for his violent radical activism in the 1960s and 1970s and his current work in school reform and educational curriculum and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the militant radical left organization Weatherman active during the 1960s and 1970s and was one of its top leaders.
In 1969, Bill Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. The blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.
First Question “REJECTED!”
How about question number two. Did u ever use drugs or were you ever in a room with someone using drugs?
Barack Obama already admitted using drugs let alone just being in a room with them.
“REJECTED!”
Forget about Barack “barry” Obama being qualified in any way to be the president of the United States of America. He isn’t even qualified to be an FBI agent.
He wouldn’t even get in the front door!
