James Carville: "If I Offended The President, I'm Not Sorry, And I'm Not Gonna Apolgize"

LOVE this post!!!

James Carville repeated an old joke during a breakfast panel discussion recently which reports suggest "outraged" the White House. Carville's joke was that if Hillary gave Obama one of her balls, they'd both have two. When confronted by John King at CNN, Carville said "I'm not sorry...I'm not gonna apologize."


Look, like the Ragin' Cajun said, it was a frigging joke. Sometimes in politics people need to get over themselves. I'm tempted to tell Obama to "lighten up" but then some nut job would say that was a racist comment.


"OH, PUH-LEEEZE!"

I like this guy!

Postal Blues -- a Model for Health Care

Pressure Mounts for Radical Changes to Postal Service

Congress, which oversees the USPS, is considering cutting Saturday mail delivery, eliminating some jobs and closing some post offices. A new report from the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office, obtained by The Washington Post, says the Postal Service business model is "not viable" and recommends to Congress that the proposed changes be made immediately.

The GAO endorsed the five-day delivery week but encouraged even more extensive cuts, including hiring more part-time workers, raising prices, closing some post offices and even outsourcing delivery routes to private contractors.

Even as the government prepares to take over our healthcare, the post office is unable to survive without continued government subsidies (read ... TAX PAYER MONEY) and higher costs for use. If this were a private company, it would have gone out of business a long time ago.

This short piece fails to mention one of the outrageous costs the post office has to face.

THE UNION.

Having friends who work or have worked at the post office for many, many years, the benefits they get as government employees is absolutely outrageous. My mail carrier in Florida had saved up all of his vacation days for several years. He had over six months paid vacation and unused sick time on his account. The best part, he said, was that when he does decide to take his six month+ vacation, he will be paid at his CURRENT rate of salary instead of at the rate each paid day was earned at. He bragged that he was making money off the deal.

As he went on to tell me all of his retirement benefits (WOW!), I couldn't help but ask myself how he, and others like him, think that the post office could possibly survive for long with those kinds of payouts?

The answer is, it can't.

In much the same way as the unions have run out other business, or in the case of certain auto makers, force them to take tax payer bail out money to continue the benefits of union workers, the cost of union workers in the post office is having an effect on it's ability to keep itself afloat, although it goes unmentioned.

Don't get me wrong, email has played it's fair share as well. However, with all the junk mail I receive daily, the post office still has plenty of customers.

So the government has decided on a plan of action to cut costs. Stop Saturday delivery. Make full-time jobs part time jobs. Eliminate other jobs. Close offices. Raise prices. It's amazing how the government stood with the unions against the auto manufacturers when they tried to take similar measures, yet have no problems doing it themselves.

The funniest and best part is that they plan to OUTSOURCE TO PRIVATE COMPANIES. Why? Deep down, the U.S. Government knows that privately run companies are more efficient and can do the same job for far less than the Government.

Pay close attention to how the government handles the situation with the post office. It's how they'll handle our healthcare! When it gets too expensive, they'll ... Limit availability. Make full-time jobs part time jobs. Eliminate staff. Close offices (another limit on availability). Raise taxes.

So as we might as well bid adieu to private insurance and get use to government run healthcare, take a good look at what the government already knows.

They can't run crap!

But don't worry about the postal employees loosing their jobs. They can simply be retrained to work for the IRS enforcing the new health care reform ...

Peace Out,

Time to Call Hazmet to my Home

Why do I have a picture of a burned out CFL (compact flourescent)?

Excellent question!

Well, that's one of the lights over my desk. I replaced an old style bulb with this compact fluorescent, before I knew how bad they were, in order to save money and the nuisance of changing bulbs every six months.

Here's the funny thing ... I just put it in a few months ago. The funnier thing is that I have two of these overhead lights. The other one, with an old style bulb, is still working. And It's older.

So now is my dilemma ...

WHAT TO DO WITH THIS COMPACT FLUORESCENT?

This didn't use to be a problem for me until one of Joe's posts informed me of how dangerous it is to change a CFL.

Holy Cow! IT MIGHT BREAK!!!

The following guidelines comes from this page put out by the U.S. EPA. It's how to properly dispose of a CFL and what to do if a CFL break. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!! Evidently, I'm suppose to find a special receiving site for my burned out CFL. And I'm not so sure I should be changing this bulb in the first place, given I'm 28 weeks pregnant. Even if you don't read it, just scroll down over it to get an idea of how involved this is! I think I should call hazmet out now just to be safe!

Fluorescent light bulbs contain a very small amount of mercury sealed within the glass tubing. EPA recommends the following clean-up and disposal below. Please also read the information on this page about what Never to Do After a Mercury Spill.

Before Clean-up: Air Out the Room

* Have people and pets leave the room, and don't let anyone walk through the breakage area on their way out.

* Open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes or more.

* Shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system, if you have one.

Clean-Up Steps for Hard Surfaces

* Carefully scoop up glass pieces and powder using stiff paper or cardboard and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag.

* Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.

* Wipe the area clean with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place towels in the glass jar or plastic bag.

* Do not use a vacuum or broom to clean up the broken bulb on hard surfaces.

Clean-up Steps for Carpeting or Rug

* Carefully pick up glass fragments and place them in a glass jar with metal lid (such as a canning jar) or in a sealed plastic bag.

* Use sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small glass fragments and powder.

* If vacuuming is needed after all visible materials are removed, vacuum the area where the bulb was broken.

* Remove the vacuum bag (or empty and wipe the canister), and put the bag or vacuum debris in a sealed plastic bag.

Clean-up Steps for Clothing, Bedding and Other Soft Materials

* If clothing or bedding materials come in direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from inside the bulb that may stick to the fabric, the clothing or bedding should be thrown away. Do not wash such clothing or bedding because mercury fragments in the clothing may contaminate the machine and/or pollute sewage.

* You can, however, wash clothing or other materials that have been exposed to the mercury vapor from a broken CFL, such as the clothing you are wearing when you cleaned up the broken CFL, as long as that clothing has not come into direct contact with the materials from the broken bulb.

* If shoes come into direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from the bulb, wipe them off with damp paper towels or disposable wet wipes. Place the towels or wipes in a glass jar or plastic bag for disposal.

Disposal of Clean-up Materials

* Immediately place all clean-up materials outdoors in a trash container or protected area for the next normal trash pickup.

* Wash your hands after disposing of the jars or plastic bags containing clean-up materials.

* Check with your local or state government about disposal requirements in your specific area. Some states do not allow such trash disposal. Instead, they require that broken and unbroken mercury-containing bulbs be taken to a local recycling center.

Future Cleaning of Carpeting or Rug: Air Out the Room During and After Vacuuming

* The next several times you vacuum, shut off the central forced-air heating/air conditioning system and open a window before vacuuming.

* Keep the central heating/air conditioning system shut off and the window open for at least 15 minutes after vacuuming is completed.

Shaking in my shoes,

Obama's a Post Turtle

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."

Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, "What's a 'Post Turtle'?"

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."


Laughin' at me own joke!

The Jackass

Barrack Obama was touring the countryside in his chauffeur-driven limo. Suddenly, a male donkey jumps out onto the road, they hit it full on and the car comes to a stop.

Obama says to the chauffeur: 'You get out and check, you were driving.'

The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead.

'You were driving; go and tell the farmer,' says Obama.

Hours later, the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled with a big grin on his face.

'My good, man, what happened to you?' asks Obama.

The chauffeur replies: 'When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of whiskey, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me.'

'What on earth did you say to them?' asks Obama.

'I knocked on the door, and when it was answered, I said to them, 'I'm Barrack Obama's chauffeur and I've just killed the jackass.'

Peace Out,

Randomness

Late one night in Washington, D.C., a mugger jumped a well-dressed man and held a gun to his ribs. "Give me your money!" he demanded. The man stiffened, but said indignantly, "You can't do this to me — I'm a U. S. Congressman!" "In that case," replied the robber, "give me my money!"

Obamopoly

President Obama's Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom statement:

"We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game on the system.....We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun and we get it that if you want a friend you should get a dog."

Bits and Pieces

Sorry for my absence. Life has been busy. I agreed to help on three different projects before all the dates were set. They all culminated on the same weekend (last week) and I nearly went batty.

We've had three cases of Piglet Fever at my house this week. They're all fine now and none of them grew a swine's snout.

My dryer broke a few months back. Not too worry, I line dry most of our clothing anyway. I only need to to rely on the dryer at the laundromat for the underwear/sock load and the towel load.

The laundromat had a fire and is now closed. Do you know how much room is needed to dry 42 pairs of socks?!

I had the following conversation with one of my boys:

Son: The Swine Flu is here because Obama is President.

Me: How's that?

Son: People said we'd have a black President when pigs fly. Well, the Swine Flu.

Yeah, I know, kinda pitiful, but good for a chuckle anyway. :)

The Additional Cost of Blubber

For all those people out there upset at the American consumption of gasoline...
Twenty-Five Things You Probably Didn't Know About Your Body and Health

6. Obese people spend approximately $485 more on clothing, $828 on extra plane seats, and $36 more on gas each year than their thinner counterparts. Researchers say an overweight driver burns about 18 additional gallons of gas a year. Plus-sized clothing costs 10 percent to 15 percent more than smaller-sized clothes. When it comes to jet fuel, a recent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine estimated that the extra weight of obese Americans caused airlines to spend $275 million to burn 350 million more gallons of fuel.

Next thing we know, there'll be a fat tax to punish those with extra blubber burning more fossil fuels and pouring extra pollution into the air. We'll have to have our BMI's verified by a medical doctor and then taxed accordingly. The U.S. Government will use it to pay for research and development of alternative fuel. It's be like the additional cigarette tax paying for medical care for children...

Sure am glad I worked out this morning.
