Stimulus spending on pet liberal projects got you outraged yet? You should be, seeing as how your tax dollars are being spent to fund a bunch of perverts performing sex acts in San Fransisco.

Foxnews.com reports this article

50,000.00 dollars in ’stimulus’ funding found it’s way Via the NEA to the “Frameline Theater” a self described pornographic theater that recently showed something titled “Thundercrack”. The movie, if you can call it that, is according to it’s promoters, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.”

Still not outraged? The National Endowment for the Arts or NEA has been the happy recipient of 80 MILLION dollars from the so called stimulus bill passed in Feb.

This money is supposedly being used as the FoxNews / Joseph Abrams article states to :

“The NEA was given $80 million of the government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession”.

How nice. I’m glad to hear a porn star or a Oboe player somewhere wont go hungry. After all the rich liberals like Obama and Pelosi, well that sort of “cultural experiences” is important people!! Perish the very thought!

Are these people in D.C just that deranged? Will they stop at no low to throw their liberal bullshit in the rest of our faces?

There is no way to justify this, I don’t care if you are a liberal, conservative, or a pink baboon in a leotard, this is an utter waste of money and a direct slap in the face to the millions of hard working Americans that have lost their jobs in this disaster of an economy. Oh wait we got what was it again 14 dollars a week in the fomr of a “tax rebate”. Sorry. *SPIT*

How can anyone justify the spending of 80,000,000.00 dollars for a minuscule handful of the population, (really how many “artists” do you know?) while millions of Americans are out of work, they are loosing their homes, they are loosing their very lives, yet the politicians in D.C. see fit to squander 80,000,000.00 dollars on….. porn. Smut. It makes my head want to explode, it really does.

Tellingly this same theater is located in none other than San Fran Pelosi’s *spit* Voting grounds. Such a funny coincidence that is.

A question for any wayward “liberal” that might be reading this, Here’s a liberal thought for you, How far would that same 80,000,000.00 go to lift a family of four out of the lower economic class? To stave off a foreclosure? How many families would that same money help with getting a rung up on the economic ladder? As a conservative, despite the popular misconception of us being selfish and not wanting to “spread the wealth” I dissent.

I see nothing wrong with giving a man the tools to earn a good living, to provide for his family, even if his current blight is such that he more or less brought it upon himself, so let’s do a theoretical exercise here. I defy any liberal out there to challenge this, to somehow justify spending 80 Million f’n dollars for non productive endeavors like a porno theater while millions of Americans suffer.

On to our exercise, Joe is a H/S drop out, foolishly Joe and his girlfriend got in a bad way at the tender age of 17, trying to do the right thing, he married young and miraculously he’s managed to make a go of it with his wife and two kids.

Joe tries hard, he works, he’s not a dumb guy, but his past haunts him, no High school diploma, no real chance at making his way up anywhere anytime soon. Forget a college degree, he’s trapped now. Let’s say Joe makes 14.00 an hour at the factory, that is not going to go too far with a family of four but they would be able to live on it if they are careful and if his wife works, scratch that she probably isn’t got much choice these days, she’s going to have to work.

Several Years pass & Joe’s worked hard but he is still way behind, he’s tried but he still isn’t making much money to begin with and disaster strikes the economy tanks, and the factory just laid him off. A few weeks go by and Joe’s Unemployment is falling short of his families needs and he’s falling further behind on his rent, home ownership for Joe is an Impossible dream, he doesn’t make much more than minimum wage on Unemployment even years after he entered the workforce. Joe, his wife, and his two children are teetering on the brink of being homeless. Tragic isn’t it?

But wait, because of the ailing economy, suddenly a stimulus program is released by the politicians in D.C. to aid people like Joe, a one time tax free $25,000.00 grant, to cover the cost of vocational training and education, living expenses, and health-care but with a qualifier.

Joe has to do two things, he has to earn a minimum of a GED AND a certification in a trade. He has 16 weeks to do so, longer if the vocation he chooses demands it, Maybe Joe will become a plumber, a mechanic or Maybe he will pick Information Technology. Should Joe fail, Joe is immediately drafted into the service for a period of 24 months to repay his 25,000.00 debt he will receive full pay and benefits while in. If he succeeds he has a two year commitment in the IRR or inactive ready reserves. Either way, succeed or fail, Joe is going to avoid having himself and his family on the streets and will make some sort of contribution to pay back “society”.

Okay so suppose Joes picks IT as his goal, Research TNM has done indicates a full blown Microsoft MCSE certification runs about 8-10,000 dollars at a 2-3 week IT boot camp, leaving Joe 15,000 -18,000 dollars for his family. When he graduates Joe will see his salary increase provided he finds a job, by almost a third. Say he made 30,000.00 a year working the line at the Factory, most people in IT even a simple help desk job make close to 40,000.00. That’s a 10,000 a year increase in salary over his factory job. As he gains experience and skills in the field that salary continually increases by rather large amounts.

Who was it that said, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat the rest of his life” Jesus I think wasn’t it?

Too simple of a plan of course, it makes too much sense, it’s too direct. Isn’t it? There’s no “special” people targeted to gain votes, no “endowments” full of party fanatics, just plain old American Joes, AND REALLY WHO CARES ABOUT THEM?!. Obviously not San Fran Nancy Pelosi, not after her comment of “I really don’t care” when asked if she knew she was the most disliked woman in America.

Far as I can see That’s “spreading the wealth” with some sort of responsibility, not just willy nilly where it ends up in the hands of oversexed morally bankrupt actors and perverts in San Fransisco.

So what about that 80,000,000.00 How far does that go for people in Joe’s situation?

3200 Joe’s. That’s how many. Probably double the amount of what benefited from the squandering of that money by Obama, the Democrats and their pervert pals in the NEA. I can’t prove it but again…how many people do you know make a living being an “artist”?

Well what about his wife?!? the feminist whine, sorry 25k per household, spent on however they deem needed, maybe it’s easier for her to go to school, but she is still with the stipulations as listed above, If Joe is smart, that other money he didn’t spend, is spent helping his wife get some sort of higher level training as well, then they really will see their future open up. If not it keeps food on the table and the lights on at least.

80 million is more or less a drop in the bucket of the over all Stimulus package of 800 BILLION, so how many Americans could truly benefit from a direct program like this? How much additional tax revenue would be generated from the additional income they make? Rather than have it wasted with the likes of the NEA?

That’s stimulus Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of you morons, that’s putting America back to work. Not putting your addled brained over sexed NEA supporters in front of honest hard working Americans.

You know some times we get caught up in our own lives, and the head aches, we get so absorbed it seems and sometimes things don’t go right and things …well they just suck!

Or do they?

I was reminded of how fortunate I am today, and in reality…my so called “troubles” could be more or less laughed at …and I was reminded in a very brutal manner.

While I was cursing because things weren’t going just my way…, a man was searching for a meal.

I had to pay my cellular bill here in Kuwait it was for me a normal bill about 200 dollars but that includes Black-Berry service and full data, my black berry is my life line over here, I’m addicted to it, I think my ear is about to mold itself to it.

Well as luck would have it, My Visa card was getting declined by the bank, and there was something up with the ATM machines over here as well, so I couldn’t get cash, and I was VERY Frustrated when a simple 30 minute errand turned into a 4 plus hour ordeal.

Did I mention it was like an oven over here today? 118 degrees. And I’m like some crazed American out running around in it.

Well after a few tries, and not getting my card to go through, I told the person waiting on me I would come back, I went out to my truck, started the engine and cranked on the AC, got my trusted black berry and called my credit card issuer, I immediately got put on hold. There’s a shocker!! I was cursing a blue streak as sweat ran down my face, wishing that the AC would work a little harder, and well pretty much at this point, miserable.

As I waited for my credit card company to stop telling me how very important my call was and how they would be right with me..(yeah right this is costing me a cool 3 dollars a minute so I’m getting even more agitated) a man approached my car, obviously the man was a worker from somewhere, I don’t know where, he was dressed in a dirty jumpsuit, and had the traditional head covering the red checked ones they wear, they are called something but the name escapes me …but he sort of smiled and paused.

Timidly he waved through the glass, annoyed and thinking he was trying to mooch a cigarette I hit my power window button and said “can I help you”? And he smiled but sort of with this hang dog look …with this look that could be only described as humbleness, And he motioned to his mouth, then to his stomach. He asked “Sir Please” ?

And It dawned on me, he was panhandling. Of all the dumb luck I get hit by a panhandler! That’s a new one to me, I have never saw it before in Kuwait. Over here the Kuwaiti’s have pretty strict laws against such things, so if he was out there panhandling he was taking a pretty big risk, but none the less I grabbed my wallet, sadly…I had exactly half a Dinar in there, less than 2 bucks in American, remember the ATMS are down so I am flat broke…and I handed it to him.

His eyes lit up and he smiled and I noticed he had few teeth left those he did have were looking pretty bad. His face was lined and seamed with age, But his eyes were filled with gratitude and when he smiled, it was from the heart, you would have thought I handed him 10 times that amount.

He bowed slightly and said “Shukran Habib, Salam Alukum. It roughly translated means “thank you my friend god bless you”. And he shuffled off.

I hit my window switch, and as I watched him in the side view mirror walking in the blasting heat…it dawned on me….here I am in my Brand new company provided SUV with the A/C blasting, I’ve got a 400 dollar phone, 10,000 dollars worth of recent dental work in my yap, I’m 10 lbs north of where the he*l I should be in the weight department, & I’ll solve this “problem” with a simple phone call, I’ll go pay my bill, and I will go home to my rather large 2 bedroom 3 bath flat with one person to live in it and cook dinner, whatever I feel like having (it turned out to be pizza night as they have domino’s right around the corner and THEY take visa too…make that 11 lbs north…* Burp* and after the day I had, well mark it up to you have to pick your battles ;-p )

And yet here I am cursing my life, railing at the pain in the butt credit card companies, frustrated because I cant pay a 200 dollar bill….While this old man works to just get enough together to feed himself??

Somewhere tonight In Kuwait is an old man, with just a few teeth, he’s got years and ages of a very hard life etched in his face, but when he smiles his heart sings through his eyes…. maybe he has someplace to go to out of the brutal heat, maybe he doesn’t, and maybe my pittance I gave him at least got him something in his belly for the evening…..I sure hope so.

So tell me; How Tough is your life today??

Looking around the web today and I came across some of these gems.

Falling down an open manhole while engrossed in texting on your cellphone….Congratulations!! Here’s your Stupid Human Tricks Award!!

Of course the obligatory law suit is in order, because, somehow, someway, somewhere, there really are 12 stupid people just like this young woman that are dumb enough to award her a huge sum of money because….she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings and somehow that became the city of New York’s fault. God forbid the silly little girl actually take personal responsibility and say “I was being S-T-O-O-P-I-D”. Do us all a favor dear, don’t breed.

Joe “Gaffe-O-Matic” Biden says “we underestimated the economy” You did, did you? How’s so Joe, are you finally admitting that you and every other useless air head that claims themselves a “politician” are just that f’n stupid, that you couldn’t see the train-wreck you and your counterparts caused? And yes, for the thousandth time this recession is caused by government meddling in the free markets, I guess probably not, you and home boy Bamabi are wealthy it doesn’t hurt you people nearly as bad when the economy tanks as the blue collar guy that just lost his job and has two kids to feed now does it, after all you have all those nice little perks of office. Let em guess Too busy ramming pork laden stimulus bills down the rest of the country’s throat to really “estimate” how bad things really were out here Joe?
Here’s your Stupid Human trick award Joe….wear it proudly.

Speaking of the pork, how is it that a website cost’s 18,000,000.00 dollars? Who’d you guys hire? I want to be on that IT crew, dang!! Think I’m kidding? I wish I was, I almost threw my coffee cup across the room when I saw this one;
From Michelle Malkin’s contribution to Human Events:

ABC News reported this week that the failed stimulus tracking website run by the White House, Recovery.gov, will get an additional $18 million taxpayer-funded injection to support a “redesign.” The Washington Examiner’s David Freddoso points out that the contract was awarded to a Maryland firm whose donors have contributed $19,000 to Maryland’s House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

18 Mil for a donation of 19K? That’s some serious kick back there, nice. Whoever signed off on this little boondoogle, when a well designed, functional web site can be done by a ten year old on his home PC for absolutely nothing….well you know the drill….here’s your award wear it proudly and all that.

I could go on forever, but why bother? The sheeple continue to plod and munch the federal grass, & the sheeple don’t care.

BAAAAAAA!

*spit*

And just as my outlook grows even more dim I’m reminded of the fact, At least there’s some smart people left in the world…go read. SHOO!

As I browsed through blogs, the news etc, I kept looking for information on the Coupe in Honduras, and the White house Kremlin reaction to it.
I fully expected Obambo to stick his foot in it once again, and predictably like the sun rises in the East, and right on cue heeeeer’s Barak!!
Well that didn’t take long I guess.

Obama came right out and said he denounced the overthrow of the Honduran president. Well that would be just swell 0-bamai except for one, well two little things:

1. The Honduran President Violated the Honduran Constitution

2. The Honduran President’s attempt to ram rod this was overruled by the Honduran Supreme court.

Yet the leader of the free world *gak* refused to support the Honduran people when they demanded that their elected President adhere to the Honduran Constitution.

Nice Obama, tell me, did you ever see a Constitution, ANY constitution you DID want upheld? I mean we know you don’t give a furry rat’s ass about ours, that much is now painfully obvious to all but the most mentally defective, but come on work with me here, Just ONE..?

Really, I’d like to see it, because not only do you routinely piss all over ours in your quest for remolding a country into whatever your arrogant over pampered terrorist coddling ass thinks is should be, now you’re off upholding two bit tin pot screw balls like this Honduran president that ran so afoul of his countries constitution they… forcefully removed him?

Jesus on a pogostick, can’t you do ANY thing right??

How in the blue fuck did you get elected in the first place? Oh right, ACORN and 52% of the country on Prozac or stoned to the gills watching American Idol, silly me, I forgot.

What; Maybe you’re a little worried ? Are you getting a little nagging feeling now that if it happened in Honduras, that maybe, just maybe, it could happen here?

And it should, you and that sorry excuse for a administration, and your cohorts in the house and Senate should be run out of DC at the end of a pitch fork.
Far as I’m concerned, it can’t happen fast enough.
Moron.
