From WAY out in Left(ist) Field

I couldn't believe this letter I saw from Carol Bamford in the Ragister today...

I am troubled by the references in David Yepsen's column of July 29 to Barack Obama's "Kool-Aid" ("Hold Off on Swallowing Obama Inevitability").

The association of Kool-Aid with blacks has long been recognized as a racial slur.

Equally disturbing is the connection with the Jim Jones suicide cult whose members died from drinking poisoned Kool-Aid.

Is Yepsen suggesting that Obama, cult-like, is leading an unwary nation to its suicidal demise?

Even if these implications were inadvertent, Obama deserves more respect than that, as do Register readers.

Ms. Bamford has been in a sheltered environment of higher education(?) too long and the scientific community is united in that fact!




















For the Record it was Grape Flavor Aid laced with Cyanide that those in Jonestown were forced to down.

Drink Up

The Fiberal's are slurping up all they can of excerpts from Scott McClellan's book.

With that comes the mistaken notion of Kool-Aid consumed during his White House.

Not only is Scott McClellan a fraud so is the belief one shouldn't drink the Kool-Aid and the scientific community is united in that fact.

For the Record it was Grape Flavor Aid laced with Cyanide that those in Jonestown were forced to down.


























CHEERS!

The Joker Went Wild

NOT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

On this the forty eighth anniversary of his birth, wherever that was, there's a heavy cost for electing this joker and the scientific community is united in that fact.

$1 Trillion More in Debt Since Obama Took Office

It took the Bush administration over 2 ½ years for the National Debt to increase a trillion dollars.

Obama accomplished that in six months!

He wants to try and blame Bush for money that was in the pipeline, but the Dummycrats have had control of the nation's purse strings since January of 2007.








Out of control spending has Washington billing $33,932 per household in 2009--$8,000 per household more than last year.

That doesn't include the $1 Billion, maybe $3, in Cash for Clunkers, or the $1 Trillion cost of Obamacare.

Couple that with the fact that federal tax receipts are on pace to drop 18 percent this year, the biggest single-year decline since the Great Depression (1932), and you can see why the administration is planning to break its pledge not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans.





FYI: it wasn't Kool-Aid, but Flavor Aid they drank in Jonestown.

Snap Out Of It

It's a bit disingenuous of a CEO who makes about $3 million per year to eat on only $4.50 per day for a week.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

To the Ragister's editorial board, who usually has disdain for CEO's, he's some sort of hero.

The Register's Editorial: People on food stamps don't eat like a king

Ron Shaich, CEO of Panera Bread, is taking the “SNAP Challenge” by trying to eat on only $4.50 per day, the average benefit amount for food stamps recipients.

SNAP used to be known as food stamps.

SNAP is not intended to be the only source of income for food, that's why the first word in the acronym is SUPPLEMENTAL.

According to the USDA, about 75 percent of SNAP participants use their own money, in addition to SNAP benefits, to buy food. That is because the program is designed so that the assumed family contribution to the food budget (which is set at 30 percent of net income after deductions) plus the actual monthly benefit will always equal the maximum benefit.

USDA also publishes an extensive list of recipes that can be used to produce a healthy low-cost meal. A search for dishes costing $4.50 or less turned up 444 options, many of which were for eight or more servings. Dishes costing less than $1.50 produced 116 results.

It would have been nice to have that info in 1980, during the stagflation ridden economy of Jimmy Carter, when I was just beginning in radio and living on $600 a month with the help of popcorn and Kool-Aid.

Chew on that Capitol Square Crapper.
