Sarah Palin

I cant believe the hypocrisy of the BoIraq supporters that are claiming Sarah Palin has no experience. Talk about the pot (yes, Obama inhaled) calling the kettle black. I heard one mindless Obama supporter criticizing how small the population of Alaska is compared with other states. Well guess where Biden is from, Delaware. See how things work in Delaware below. Strong move by McCain. Choosing a driven competitive woman will pick off the enough Hillary supporters to make a difference. On the Republican side life long GOP supporters will vote for McCain no matter who he picked. This evens the score and shows McCain is not just a status quo GOP know nothing. He is what he has always been, a maverick. He still needs help domestically and her experience is limited notwithstanding not much less so than the other guy. The game is his now lets see how he rises to the job.

Democratic Convention and the Entitled

Obama is holding his convention this week in Denver. Never in the history of mankind has so much hot air gone so high as in the mile high city. Omama got here through crafty gamesmanship. The Michigan and Florida delegates were disqualified from participating in the selection of the party candidate. Hilary had more votes. Just as well for Boiraq, (sp) she won these highly populated states but gained no delegates. Sound familiar? It's the same way he won his first election. He used the corrupt Chicago political machine to disqualify all the other candidates petitions by systematically protesting each and every signature. Under the law each was eliminated. He sure seems to rely on tricks to get where he wants to go. Hillary made a good point tonight at the convention by stressing that she has been working in the trenches for thirty-five years for Boiraq's (sp) right to squirm his was to the top of his party. Give me a break how can anyone take this inexperienced opportunist seriously compared with Hillary or even the plagiarizer, Joe?

Boiraq is a product of the hard work done by those that came before him so he could lead a privileged life. No doubt he is smart and knows how to work the system. Why else would he have found comfort in such a bitter soul mate as his wife? She was earning $360,000 per year working for a charity after he became senator. She didn't start out that well paid but it sure seems funny she got a BIG raise after he was in office. He knows the system. He's entitled. If he is not elected he will blame race as the reason and try to indict the country. Forget that the junior senator has never introduced a bill, chaired a committee, made a payroll or most importantly fought the system because he is a product of and with the system. Never however will it be his fault as there is always someone to blame, that is the way the entitled work.

2008 Olympics

The USA men's basketball team was outstanding. They played as a team and won the gold as they should. Unlike some others US representatives that earned the top spot (woman's relay for example) they stood with pride on the podium as the national anthem was played with their hands over their hearts. Can you imagine? Each and every player showed pride in themselves and their country both on the court and off. We've come a long way. These guys are the type of role models that we need for the youth of today. They showed respect for the USA, respect for team play, and respect in themselves. I wonder if Michael Moore had a camera?

Delaware

By the way how does an anti big-company democrat rationalize Biden with the fact that a majority of finance companies and estate trusts select Delaware as the domicile of choice? Is it by being hypocritical or do they just use a shot of old fashion moral selectivism (both common liberal traits)? What ever the answer is and both choices have a good deal of evidentiary documentation, the fact remains that Delaware is a good choice of residency for the big and wealthy. The best part is you don't even need to move there or even employ many people to take advantage.

Why do so many companies and the wealthy incorporate in Delaware? Is it because of Delaware's liberal lending laws and lazi faire regulations? Delaware is well known as a haven for companies desirous of circumventing home state rules. The laws are attractive especially for finance companies because they allow companies to charge what would otherwise be usurious interest rates and fees in their home states. Estate plans for the wealthy often select Delaware for their Trusts because they can get around laws that serve the voters and constituents of their home residence. It’s a great place to avoid state taxes elsewhere assessed and regulations otherwise set up to protect the citizenry.

Delaware has been called the "Corporate Capital" because so many corporations have incorporated in the state because of its business-friendly law[1]. Read tax avoidance for the rich, anti-consumer protection, and “asset protection” for the wealthy. According to the Delaware Division of Corporations (2002), more than 308,000 companies are incorporated in Delaware. This includes 60% of the Fortune 500 and 50% of the companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange[2]. Gee I wonder why? I also wonder who pays Joe Biden’s bills? With all that corporate power right there for the taking how does he do it, I mean keep getting elected since 1972? I doubt he is funded by the followers of the great new hope change artist, Hussein.

Joe Biden? Your joking, right?

This is great! Now we're going to win! Flip flop Joe has been in Washington (not a place well known for it's meritocratic leadership promotion or longevity systems, see future post "How to Stay in Washington") politics so long he's forgotten he is from a small state of no consequence in terms of its voting base. Delaware is not exactly a cross section of America. The population of the whole state is a little more than that of Austin Texas. Joe is a comedian, he likes to tell jokes. Barack Hussein Obama II blew it and the joke is now on him.

Financial Melt down

H. Obama is losing today from what the new polls are showing. He was a flash in the pan without any real substance. Once the Chicago political machine connections and his dismal record gets wider press the polish will come of his shine. I predict that GOP candidate McCain will announce Condolizza Rice as his running mate and then the whole game will change for the better.

2008 Olympics

The Chinese teams are great. I have noticed however that they don't seem to win any medals in sports that have a real score. They don't do well in swimming, racing, rowing, basketball, volleyball, kayaking, shooting, archery, soccer, or fencing. They do seem to be superior where the winner is picked through a subjective process of measurement involving judges. They excel only in those sports where judgment is a factor. Arguably the judges have a spotty history and have been known to be prejudice and biased. Even so its their venue and I suppose they paid for it so it all may work out in the end.

Groups Weigh Boycott of 'Tropic Thunder'

Calling a spade a spade is not all that easy any more. By golly we'd better not offend anybody because they have rights you know. Let's mainstream every disruptive kid into our class rooms so the whole class gets dumbed down to the least common denominator. This way the normal children can learn first hand to be sensitive not withstanding they will be deprived of a good education.

Status quo

By the way this blog not intended to always be about illegal immigrants. My view is that immigration is good if assimilation is encouraged. Sometimes this takes a generation or two. It also takes leadership from within the affected community. For our part we need to concentrate on education and leadership building. Always with the target being assimilation and not "celebrating diversity".

If you think about it, the people that risk life and limb to get into this country are the ones that really do want to work hard, thrive, and contribute. I dare say that the ones that stay home and grind out a life under the status status quo of land ownership inequality and poverty don't have the drive to make it in the US. My sense is that we need to actively promote rule of law, a fair and equitable justice system and property ownership rights south of our boarders as a broader solution to what drives illegals here in the first place. The ones that make it here have what it takes to contribute; we need to make sure we encourage and provide systems that promote their assimilation to be full contributors to the USA.

This is not original but why does Starbucks have a begging cup up front where you pay for your coffee? My wife likes the stuff so I need to buy her one occasionally otherwise I would never enter the place. I feel that they put the tip jar right out front so Ill feel obligated to drop my change in. Why don't they have one for the poor Guatemalan farmers they rip off instead of asking me to subsidize their substandard pay scale?

At least the farmers could use the money to get a ride to the boarder so it will be easier for them to sneak across into the U.S.

NY Times

Today I spent $5 to purchase a copy of the New York Times at one of the numerous local Starbucks in my neighborhood (no I didn't buy any coffee but that is another story). I don't buy the Times very often but every time I do, I am lulled into a false sense of hope by their catchy by line, "All the News that's Fit to Print". Almost without exception, at least for my take it never turns out that way. Don't get me wrong the science and business sections are good but the politically correct one-sided editorial staff destroys the concept of even handiness every time. The selection for front page news today proves my point.

"Deported, by U.S. Hospitals" is about some poor illegal immigrant without health care insurance that was run over by a drunk driver in Florida (of course it was a drunk driver, soon we will be able to use "climate changer" with almost the same connotation). We are supposed to feel sorry for this guy because he was sent back to his own country by the hospital after treating him to the tune of $1.5mm. Unfortunately his country has no support for poor people in his condition so his toothless mother has to take care of him herself and he is going down hill. I'm sorry I don't feel compelled to want to fight for his right to stay here as a burden on society. He came, it didn't work out and he should go home, end of story.

The Times reports that Hospitals do this all the time. The way they sneak their view into the story is by stating it is "a little-known but apparently widespread practice". How could the mean hospitals do such a thing? The Times go on to report about the law suit (this is America after all) and describes the financial condition of the hospital trying to drag us into one of their typical populist arguments, "us against the large corporate villains".

Look no one wants people to get hurt but the guy was here illegally trying to make a go of it so he could send money back to his family, all the while skirting taxes and the other duties of citizenship on the way. It didn't work out, so too bad. I shiver to think that if I raped a woman with AIDS, the Times would come to my rescue by putting my sad fate on the front page as well. They could put forth the case that I must have had a troubled childhood and it really wasn't my fault and that the drug companies should have cured the woman before I raped her. Since this didn't happen they should give me free access to what ever I need to live a healthy better life than I had before being infected. Well so much for my $5 it didn't work out, again.
