Papa Bush says ... Willie, you're all Wet!

So, on the BILLARY Presidential Campaign trail in South Carolina, slick Willie makes the statement that under Billary's presidency he, papa Bush and other notables would undertake a diplomatic mission to assure other nations that "America is open for business and cooperation again."

Papa Bush says .... uh? So one day later his chief of staff Jean Becker sends a statement to CNN stating that "he wholeheartedly supports the President of the United States including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an around-the-world mission with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of hope for freedom and democracy."

Very interesting ... two former president's and two completely different stories. Seems that the Clinton's have had a lot of "he said - she said" moments throughout their careers.

Question - Mr. Clinton this wouldn't happen to be another "I never had sex with that woman" type of moment ... would it?

Slick Willy and H.W. will help Hillary clean-up George W.'s Mess!

CNN's South Carolina Producer Peter Hemby reports former President Bill Clinton as saying, this past Monday, that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she becomes President will be to dispatch him and former President George H.W. Bush on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by H.W.'s son George W.

Good God y'all !!!

The Cantankerous One has some Money Questions

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimates the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost $2.4 trillion over the next decade. Now hold on ... didn't realize that the U.S. was planning to fight these two small countries for another 10 years!!!! How long was WW2 anyway?

When President Bush took office January 2001 the U.S. national debt was $5.7 trillion. When he leaves office in January 2009 the debt is estimated to top $10 Trillion Dollars. Double the debt in 8 years ... good job!

The U.S. dollar is down about 35% in value since the end of 2001 against a basket of major currencies. I guess its time to dump the green-back, hurry-up the North American union with Canada and Mexico and start printing the new "Amero" currency!

According to the U.S. Treasury, foreign governments and investors now hold some $2.23 Trillion - or about 44% of all publicly held U.S. debt. That's up 9.5% from a year earlier .... folks, isn't anybody getting just a little worried that foreign governments are increasingly owning your butts?

The U.S. is borrowing Hundreds-of-Billions of dollars from China (the same guys you're outsourcing your jobs to and receiving in return lead-encrusted products) and OPEC (your friendly oil producing countries - some of which harbor terrorists - the ones that you're fighting the war on terror with). Same question ..... isn't anybody worried that countries that hold your debt will control your future? Or are we still focused on whether the Patriots will go undefeated this season?

The Democratic lead Congress just raised the government's debt ceiling from $8.7 trillion to $9.8 trillion so the government can borrow more money to keep it operating and to pay additional debt obligations. It is the 5th debt-ceiling increase since Bush became President ... oh my! I guess it's like MasterCard raising your credit card limit 5 times in 7 years.

And finally, 189 major mortgage companies have bit the dust. Third quarter house prices are off 4.9% year-over-year. The structured credit products market has collapsed. The Fed has been increasing money and credit for the past 4 years at over 10% annually. They are flooding the market with aggregates. Wall Street, banks and hedge funds are dangerously extended and have serious balance sheet problems. Falling interest rates and the injection of massive amounts of money and credit is steering the economy towards deep recession, depression and the very real possibility of the collapse of the entire financial system, which in turn will cause a global crisis. When that happens .... can anybody say ..... One World Government .... its a possibility .... I urge you to think about it!

Canada's Conservative Labour Minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn apparently likes to Fly High

Here are some facts regarding our high-flying Labour Minister:

  • Blackburn spent almost $68,000 of Our Money for 14 aircraft rentals between April and August of this year. (almost $4,900 per flight)
  • 50% of these flights were between the airport at Gatineau Quebec near Ottawa and the CFB Base at Bagotville 200kms north of Quebec City. (almost $4,900 per flight)
  • Flight records show that Blackburn was the only passenger on most of these flights. (almost $4,900 per flight)
  • Not a single aircraft rental appears in Blackburn's travel expenses. This is a required public disclosure item. (almost $4,900 per flight)
  • Instead these expenses are listed in the Ministry's list of procurement contracts, alongside transportation services and information technology contracts ...... HUH? ....... WHY? (almost $4,900 per flight)
  • Well lookie here Mabel, the minister did disclose almost $20,000 of flights on commercial airlines under his own name.
  • Last May, the Canadian Press revealed that in 2006 this minister spent almost $150,000 of our money on rented planes.

Do we have a problem here?

Mr. Harper, is this acceptable to you? ........ Just wondering.
