VA Bonuses????

VA bonuses????
You've got to be kidding more than $24 million in bonuses to VA employees in the past 2 years $60000+ to the recently retired head J. Duncan who as auditors said approved bonuses like she had a blank check, totally disgusting. Why isn't she under arrest?
First question why are tax dollars paying bonuses to government employees in the first place. It is not a profit driven corporation so all it does is drive up taxes, don't use the excuse they are doing a good job and saving money, VA claims backlogs are up to 65%. Just more government inefficiency, sloth and probably out right theft with no accountability.
The post office is no better. They pay no taxes have no competition in the letter delivery unless it's overnight, they are protected by the feds so they don't even need their own security and they're operating at a loss while UPS, and FedEx are making money. Again total government inefficiency and sloth. Nothing but laziness no accountability.
I'll bet most government managers and above couldn't cut it in the private sector because they'd have to produce and there is no way these losers can do anything but sit at a desk wait for their breaks and collect an unearned paycheck. You don't get paid or get bonuses if you don't produce in the private sector you don't even keep your job.
Government employment is nothing more than a high paying form of welfare where you have to show up some where and than you get your check.
2 majors examples and they want to take over health care, we won't need the death panels, by the time you get a doctors appointment you'll have died of old age and that's if your parents set the appointment up for you the day you were born.
The government can't run itself let alone anything else.
It just so sickening what they do with our tax dollars and no accountability.
Where is the "CHANGE"??????????????????????????

Electrical Global Warming

I am well aware of the alleged threat that global warming is caused by fossil fuels. I use the term alleged because it could just be the nature of the world to go through global warming and ice age periods and it wouldn't matter what we burned or didn't.

My question is, if mankind is causing or speeding up the global warming period is it all being caused by the use of fossil fuels or is there something else that is contributing to it that the government is not aware of or is covering up it's knowledge of? What am I talking about? Cell phones, satellite transmissions, high voltage electric lines crisscrossing the earth. The earth from my understanding has an electromagnetic field surrounding it and protecting us. What is the potential or possible harm from all these artificial electrical influences on the natural electromagnetic field? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so what is the opposite reaction to the constant bombardment of the earth's field by all this artificial electricity? Remember we are talking 24 hours a day bombardment of a natural force by an artificial one. Just one look at what seems to be an increased quantity and severity of lightening storms might make one think that Mother Nature is fighting back and attempting to restore or heal damage done to the electromagnetic field.

In addition I have seen satellite photos of the globe during it's night phase and it is lit up like the Las Vegas strip, this can't be good. Plants and animals need the light/dark cycle to stay healthy. If light pollution is slowing the growth rate of oxygen producing plants and upsetting the balance of the animals that help with their growth again possibly contributing to the global warming, ice age cycle.

If this is true or even partially true why hasn't the government said anything?

Any scientists out there have any comments?

Civil or Class War?

Civil or class war, anyone think we're heading that way?

Is there or would there be a difference in a civil or class war?

I understand a month or so ago the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal did a piece on the breaking up of America. New England, Central states, 3 separate countries made out of California that type of thing, I wasn't able to get a copy but was wondering if anyone did?
I believe someone said the main reason for the break up of America was too much federal control/interference in states affairs and to much taxation without adequate representation.

Would the break up of America be a bad thing?

I know I'm not happy at all with the federal government, it is way to large and way to encroaching on personal rights and liberties under the guise of safety and national security.

Comments?

9/11

Can anyone without a reasonable doubt say with complete certainty that the US government did not allow 9/11 to happen the way Pearl Harbor was allowed? The reasons instead of getting us into a war was to usurp more rights from the citizens using fear as the means.Just some thoughts, outside of the Pentagon having slight damage no other government buildings were touched. As a matter of fact the only plane where the passengers "fought" back was suppose to hit the White House. The other 2 hit private buildings and I don't remember hearing any cell phone calls from those planes so I guess those passengers went willing to their deaths with out fighting. Why haven't we been able to find Osama? We track cows across borders when fighting the mad cow disease yet with all our intelligence agencies and those of our allies we can't find 1 man? Questionable in my mind. I had more than 1 person say to me that the reason Osama was never found was it was a deal with US government personnel. Go ahead use your people as martyrs, hit the twin towers, have the plane bound for the White House crash before getting there, (why was the cockpit on this plane open so it could be retaken but not the others?) and just skim the Pentagon. We will claim to look for you all over and never find you, in return you guarantee the US does no receive any further terrorist attacks. Osama gains millions of new recruits is a total hero to his people, Bush and Cheney take over Iraq's oil, and cause a war there that just keeps going on and on. American citizens lose more and more rights that once you lose even "temporarily" you never get them back. Kinda like our temporary income tax.I know it's just fantasy the US government would never do anything to take rights from the citizens. They completely remember they are suppose to do what we the people say not the other way around? Yeah right? They are completely honest and decent people acting only in the best interest of US citizens with no thought of their own egos or pocket books, ask Dodd or Lie-berman they'll vouch for the honesty of politicians.Just something to think about and I'm not saying it's true or citing sources it's just one view of the basic facts that were published by the media.Enjoy.

13 million Americans unemployeed

13 million American citizens on unemployment (today's paper). How many of them are federal or state employees?

I don't remember hearing of any federal or state layoffs, do any of you?

If there hasn't been why not?

Call, write, email your representatives and ask them why government employees are immune or protected, remember we pay for them out of taxes. Many of us have lost jobs or part of our income everything we buy keeps increasing in price and our taxes are going up. WHY? Time they have to live like us.

America for Americans. Take back America vote out the incumbents

Is there life after birth?

Well is there? With the greed, hatred, pollution and everything else is there life after birth and is it worth it?Fresh air, green grass and trees, animals, fantastic views they're all being destroyed by greed. Is it worth bring a kid into this world? With all the life prolonging procedures we have you can live longer but is the quality of living there? Is it worth it?If you had a choice would you allow yourself to be born again?

Generation Bye-Bye

I read something the other day that said by 2050 or so we will have 9 billion people on the planet. Can the earth actually provide enough air, water and food for that amount of people? I'm sure some scientist somewhere has figured out how much air and water and food a human requires a year to just survive and they know how many can survive.Are carbon based fuels only a small part of global warming and the large part is too many people? I don't think we have to worry to much about aliens taking over the planet there is not going to be anything left soon. We could put up a sign however "THE EARTH IS FULL GO HOME!"Think about it, one theory put forth recently was that Mars had life and it destroyed that planet but before it died it sent colonists to Earth. And now we've destroyed this planet. Don't say we haven't we can't even agree on anything even on a small scale how could we ever agree on the correct way to save a planet? Nice legacy for the next few generations which one will be named "Generation Bye-Bye"?

Banning Barbie

Has anyone heard of parental control, parental duty, parental responsibility? It appears not. I forgot what city or town or state banned the sale of Barbie dolls because something along the line of giving girls a false body image. Do these morons watch TV or listen to the radio, this country is going down the toilet and they're worried about a doll? If you're worried about false images you better ban TV, movies, magazines anywhere there are pictures of women. It's American culture actually every cultural has it's "perfect" type so now they want to make a CHILD'S TOY, A DOLL THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 50 YEARS ILLEGAL right up there with automatic weapons and crack these people need a life.Back to my first question to my way of thinking it is the responsibility of the parents to give their offspring a good self image, to explain life to them that everyone is different and they should just be the best they can be. It doesn't appear parents can handle this so let's dump it on the government and the taxpayers. Yes the taxpayers who do think paid the legislators to enact this inane law, and it'll probably cost more to enforce it I can just see it now the BEA (Barbie Enforcement Agency) raiding toy stores guns drawn and all, it'll be a new reality show. How about the people who already one or more, do they have to turn them in? Will we have a new criminal element 6-12 year old girls dealing in illegal Barbies? Will they be suspended if they bring one to school?
Morons and idiots are running the world. This has to right up there with the stupidest law enacted in the history of the USA maybe the world

Chimp victim

Can anyone explain to me why they are keeping this poor woman alive? No hand, no nose, no eyelids, facial structure totally destroyed, and they are not sure if she even has brain activity. Is that a life? How callous and uncaring is it to force someone to live like that? Are they just doing it to get the money for her care? I've never understood how cold and self centered people can be when it comes to keeping people alive when they have absolutely no quality of life. Don't tell me it's a gods choice to end someones life not when the only things keeping that person alive are machines that is nothing more than people playing god. Suicide and assisted suicide should be totally legal.

Obama hype

On the radio they were talking about “hype”. How Americans have the habit of hyping up the poorer choice. One example they were using was VHS over Beta. According to experts Beta was the better tape, yet VHS spent more money in hyping itself and became the major brand. It seems to happen in everything Starbucks is another example. The other thing Americans enjoy is novelty. When a product is being hyped and it is novel it becomes wildly successful for a time then reality sets in and buyers remorse starts. Is this what is happening with the new president? Did he only win because of the hype and the fact he was the first black candidate? Is buyer’s remorse setting in and that is why he is having problems getting solid democratic backing? Is he really the best person in this position? None of his ideas appear to help the average working class American; they just seem to be aimed at alienating big business and corporations. Don’t say we need to blindly get behind him and support his proposals that’s how most dictatorships, start blind foolish support and obedience. This new green house gas tax on business is just going to drive more companies out of America. I think it would be a lot more intelligent to loosen EPA and other restrictions on businesses to bring them back, to have them expand, to put more Americans back to work. Down the road work with industry to keep jobs in the US and protect the environment intelligently not with knee jerk reactions. If Obama and his administration does not do something quickly to bring real manufacturing jobs back to the US we won’t need to worry about EPA regulations, we won’t have any businesses any tax base any country. Taxing and putting the harshest restrictions on businesses in the world is not going to get the US going again. 4% percent of the popular vote was not a mandate or landslide by any stretch of an imagination. Obama has a long way to go to prove he is the best person for the position he holds and driving jobs out of the country doesn’t appear to me to be pro American. Maybe the radio show was correct and the hyped product is the worst choice or maybe Obama can prove that theory wrong. It’s all up to him.

More brain dead government

The right hand says "Let's raise taxes on cigarettes"The left hand says "Let's give smokers tax money in the way of programs and incentives to help them quit"
Let's increase revenue and plan on using it and yet be doing everything we can to stop people from buying the item that is going to raise our revenue. Simply mind boggling that the people who dream this up can actually dress themselves. Scarier is that they are allowed to and do procreate there by insuring further generations of morons and idiots to run governments.
When more people quit smoking where is the government going to raise taxes and fees to make up the difference? Also are the tax increases going to at least cover the programs and incentives to get people to quit? I'm taking about the advertisements to quit also.

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should, call for Philip Morris; I’d walk a mile for a Camel, the old cigarette slogans or jingles. I remember when they were on TV and radio along with liquor ads. Doctors use to appear in ads telling you which was their favorite brand. Then again back then they didn’t know the dangers of smoking. It was accepted I can remember smoking in grocery stores.
Then they started to find out how dangerous smoking was and slowly as it was verified and published the ads were taken off TV then radio.
What replaced them?
Ads for drugs, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and the most dangerous of all, attorneys replaced cigarettes and booze. I’m not sure that was a good trade.
When I was growing up outside of aspirin, alka seltzer things like that none of the items I listed before were allowed to be advertised
I was musing today on health care today, cold blooded insurance companies, DRGs, doctors who don’t care about patients and are just in it for the money, drugs that can cause more problems than they cure, drugs that become addictive in a dose or two. People live longer, is the quality of life better? People without medical training see an advertisement for a drug and go to their doctor and demand it. The doctor prescribes it; the drug company makes money the doctor gets paid for the visit. Then the patient has reactions to the medication, more doctor visits and more drugs. The patient’s quality of life goes down yet they live longer using more drugs and doctor visits. Doctors and drug companies get richer. I thought it was illegal to practice medicine without a license yet advertising companies are telling people how to diagnose themselves what would you call that? Lawyers say it’s legal and why it keeps them rich as well.
We may not have lived as long on the average yet somehow I think we were healthier, happier, had more personal freedom and a better quality of life when cigarette ads were on TV and radio.

Boycott hersheys chocolate

Hershey's chocolate is closing a plant in PA after 23 years and moving it to Mexico. Way to go NAFTA. Where's Obama and his people on this?They can tell someone not to buy a jet but protecting US workers I guess not. I think the article in the paper said 260 jobs.Is Nestles part of Hershey? Someone let me know what chocolate I can buy to support American workers.
I agree you can't boycott everything made outside of the country it is a global economy. However why should we support a company that puts American workers out of jobs. They moved to better their profits they only get that if we continue to buy it now. Are Mexico's FDA standards up to American standards? Or are they going to sell sub standard chocolate. NAFTA is great isn't it.
While it's only chocolate it's a stand for American jobs and American workers. Chocolate happens to be the product. It's a stand to tell the American government NAFTA with Mexico isn't working, all it's doing is costing American jobs. Buy Swiss chocolate, German chocolate Chinese whatever just don't buy Hershey's they are anti American. Maybe we should all tell our grocery stores and mom & pop shops to stock something else. This is how true change is made grassroots with real Americans standing up for other Americans.Like the song said 'If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything'I stand for Americans for America.I hope Hershey's hasn't received any bailout money.

Obama the puppet

Obama is nothing more then a puppet on Pelosi's and other senior democrats strings. They say jump he says how high.
Lets' face it he was not elected by the democratic party he was elected by crack addicts, welfare recipients and people who never voted before and talked into doing it by ACORN. Had he been elected by the democratic party, had the rulers of it really wanted him they would have stood behind him a lot better than they have. Someone made a comment that the government giving money is good and it will get us out of the depression. It didn't work with FDR check your history WWII got us out of that one. No the government giving out money is like giving a fix to an crack addict, good for a short high. What is needed is to have new jobs in the private sector otherwise we're doomed. If that means cutting pork, welfare, and a lot of other services for now to give the private sector tax cuts so they open new plants and stores and businesses that's what is needed. Pelsoi and the rest of them don't care they have their millions and their retirements. Crack addicts and welfare recipients don't want their benefits cut because they may actually have to work. So who pays the price for these losers? The hard working American taxpayer. I'm not talking corporate welfare, I'm talking that any one who wants a loan to start or help grow a business gets it at a reasonable interest rate that must be payed back to the government just like they would have to to a bank.Credit card companies are forced to cut their interest rates to no more then 5% above prime. That would free up billions in disposable income that would stimulate the economy. We need real action to get the private sector moving, you just can't tax government employees if that's all we have to pay for the government it just doesn't work.We need a true leader not a puppet on the string of a useless self seeking politicians.

The greatest threat to America

The greatest threat facing the American people today is the American government. It has gotten so huge, so unwieldy, it answers to no one. It is a ruling aristocracy at its worst.
We the people have allowed this to happen. We elect public servants as congressman and senators at the federal and state levels to do their best to protect Americans. To protect our country, our jobs, our resources, in short our lives, they have betrayed us. We have allowed them unlimited terms, and these offices are often passed down through family or party for generations. Except in rare cases due to publicity they are beyond the law.
This financial collapse might not have occurred had they been paying attention to America. Selling our jobs, and resources overseas is that protecting Americans? Allowing foreign nationals to buy and control American companies and move them overseas or bring in foreigners to run them, how does this protect America? I’ll make it easy for you, it doesn’t. The ruling class doesn’t care about anything but themselves. You see they get a retirement from 1 term in office with medical that most taxpayers don’t see after working 50 years. Out of office they use their influence to become lobbyists earning millions a year. What incentive is there for them to protect Americans when it could affect their lifestyle? None.
We need to take back America. We need to institute term limits, we need to institute time limits before elected officials can become lobbyists. We need laws keeping foreign concerns from buying and controlling American corporations. The founders of the USA had this to say about the people “it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” –Declaration of Independence

I miss old radio

How many of you remember AM radio? Wolfman Jack, Cousin Brucie, Imus in the morning and the rest that made radio great.
Don't get me wrong the signal is a lot better on FM it's just we don't have many jocks if any worth listening to. Either they're scared of the PC police so all they are or allowed to be is some bland clone of what some bean counter thinks will make money. Or they are just to vulgar and disgusting without any reason to be so, and they move to satellite radio. Where is the middle ground?
They should bring back WKRP in Cinncinatti and show people what a station should be.
Here in CT I remember a traffic reporter named Morgan Kaolian. He wasn't one of these talking heads you get today, he flew his own plane up and down the highways reporting traffic conditions. I got a chance to fly with him once it was great.
Imus a genius, who else could give you the Right Reverend Billy Sol Harkness of the first church of the gooey death and discount house of worship, and all the other funny, biting, satirical views of life at that time.
Wolfman Jack, spinning the hits with that voice. Cousin Brucie WABC evening radio. Pioneers all.
Who's up and coming? Nobody. Bean counters and the PC police won't let anyone do anything edgy. The real sad fact is people out there now don't realize what they're missing, they think John Teesh, Delila, Billy or Bobby somebody or other are good. A bunch of no talent talking heads.
Around here Damon Scott at least tries, the morning host on that station I wouldn't have call a square dance.
Well thanks for reading, I feel a little better.

Children should be seen and not heard

Children should be seen and not heard was how it was when my generation was growing up. We learned manners and more then that we learned we were suppose to use them. We learned to get respect, you gave respect and a lot more then that. We didn't have drive by shootings, teachers weren't afraid to go into school. If you got into trouble in school you were in more trouble when you got home. You learned if wanted something you worked for it, you didn't steal it or expect the government to give it to you. What has happened to the generations X & Y I have know idea. I do wonder who is going to support them when the boomers finally die off. I know some of them had work ethics and honor instilled in them I don't think enough to keep civilization going when the rest of them just expect to live off the government. End of the world.

Support global warming

We should start burning more fossil fuels, pollute more water (streams, oceans, rivers) cause the extinction of more species. Why not we've been doing it for how long now and now we want to stop. Why? This is our world we've ruined it this far let's see it through to the end. Hopefully it'll be quick and fairly painless, rather then long and dragged out if we keep trying to fight it. We owe it to all those species of animals and plants we've made extinct to join them in the next life. The generations coming up behind us are so useless and lazy they won't make it a generation without the 'boomer's' to do everything for them. So having the world end quickly is kinder and easier to them, rather then them actually having to do things and work, which they probably couldn't do anyway.So let's bring back gas at 20 cents a gallon cars that get 5 miles a gallon, bring back cigarettes at 18 cents a pack to just to help out.Remember just say no to saving the world.

Anyone ever see a ghost?

I did many years ago in Easton CT. It was so weird, it was winter we were to young to drive, so we took our sleds and ended up sledding down streets, just having fun. We started out on Park Ave in Bridgeport near the Easton Fairfield border. We ended up coming down this hill and were sitting there resting when we saw this woman in white with a light or lantern in her hand we called to her she didn't answer, we turned to talk to each other and when we looked back she was gone, then we saw a light further out in the woods. We didn't think much about it at the time, it was only years later that I realized we weren't that far from that haunted graveyard in Easton over by the Rte 136. I started reading about it and realized we had seen the ghost. they won't even let you park near that cemetery. The more I think on it there have been other strange things that couldn't be explained by normal reasons. Anyone else have any experiences with the paranormal

Musicians vs actors

I think musicians and songwriters are more talented work harder and get less respect than actors.Actors are over paid egotistical brats who have such inferiority complexes they are not comfortable being themselves, they have to play other people with different names and occupations to make themselves feel good. Granted it does take some talent to laugh or cry on cue and some do it better then others but get real it's all make believe because they can't face reality or who they really are. I get such a kick when I hear them say 'it's such an important role it means so much to life it sends a message." words like that, give me a break. The head of a major studio years ago said "movies are entertainment. You want to send a message use Western union". The real joke is the stupid people who actually listen to and follow these peoples advice in politics, business, love whatever loser following loser. Another good laugh is people getting hysterical when an actor dies or gets sick. Please, like they care about you? You need a life.
I know some music fans do the same thing take advice, get upset when something happens, they need a life too.
Musicians dress up on stage for entertainment, they understand that is what they are there for. The big difference is the talent, to sing, to carry a tune, to play an instrument, to write music. These are gifts and talents that actors don't come close to. Musicians are themselves and give away part of themselves in every note, every performance, they are not playing someone else they put it all on the line and say this is me. Take me or leave me. An actor does that in a role, they never take responsibility it is never them it is a lousy role, unless it a success then it's all them.Give me musicians as the more talented and real people any day.

The verdict is in

To all of you who partied in the 60’s and 70’s. You know who you are, you’re the ones who drank and drugged and survived. The ones the phrase “ if you remember the 60’s& 70’s you weren’t really there” was coined for. Guess what?
I know some of you are now in 12 step programs, some didn’t need that. Most of you went on to become business people, teachers and other responsible members of society. Based on that you feel you escaped unscathed from the degenerate debauchery of your past. You’re half right. You escaped, your offspring and their subsequent offspring didn’t. Look around, the generation your birthed, continued the drinking and drugging and began the downhill slide of civilization as we knew it. The generation they set loose on the world is scary. The amount of brain cells they lack is amazing. If the normal workings of the body, ie heart, lungs weren’t involuntary they probably wouldn’t survive to puberty.
What is this based on, simple, “reality TV shows” “duh” along with other popular shows. Did you also notice how many shows and movies are remakes from the 60’s-80’s. No new ideas. Surprise, you have to have a brain to have an idea. How about reading? That’s a joke, most of them can’t spell look at text messages. What we use to call comic books they now call “graphic novels” just to boost their egos.
Good luck expecting them to take care of you if you need it, they can’t even take care of themselves. In a way it makes me hope that the newest end of the world date Dec 21 2012 comes true it would be kinder and gentler to them then actually having to live without people to do everything for them as we and their parents die off. I feel very lucky and blessed that I never had any kids, I can honestly say the future is not my fault.
Now we have empirical proof that drinking and drugging causes more damage to society then ever before thought.
