What’s economic shrugging you ask? It’s akin to Going Galt. What’s that you say? Who is John Galt? Well, if you’ve read Atlas Shrugged you already know.
If you haven’t, here goes.

I called for Obama’s resignation three days ago. The reasons are so much larger than Obama’s ineligibility to have ever entered the White House as POTUS or how ill prepared he was for the job.
What we are talking about is the very survival of this country. Obama and his team are so massively incompetent that I find it hard to put into words. We are looking at day 54 of the “oil spill” that began off the coast of Louisiana and he is just getting around to having a one on one with the BP officials … stunning!

Well, well, well, those fine folks at Fannie Mae, the same ones who brought on the mortgage crisis and devastation to home owners across America hold a patent on Cap ‘n Trade. Say what???

Experience has demonstrated over and over again, if it doesn’t look, feel, or smell right chances are we’re not looking at a coincidence. BTW, coincidence is defined as a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance.
If you and I bump into one another at a restaurant or in the airport that’s mere chance. When our faux President tells the world we are again going to allow offshore drilling off the east coast and within weeks one of the largest oil platforms in the world blows up, on Earth Day, that isn’t chance.

They say great minds think alike.
Well, I’ve been thinking about Prohibition since Obama Care passed and the propaganda started in MSM about the impossibility of repealing this piece junk legislation. So has Jeffery Lord at The American Spectator.
Take the time to read his article and take heart. Obama Care can and will be overturned! Here are a few excerpts from his article:
[...]
Not unlike today’s promises about Obama Care, the view of a Utopian America without alcohol were extravagant.
[...]
So confident were Prohibitionists in the invincibility of the 18th Amendment that one congressional supporter swooned: “There is as much chance of repealing the Eighteenth Amendment as there is for a hummingbird to fly to the planet Mars with the Washington Monument tied to its tail.”
In a page that might be ripped from today’s headlines about Americans’ furious reaction to Obama Care, a backlash began immediately — and built.
In spite of repeated assurances from Prohibition supporters, all manner of unintended consequences began showing up. Instead of positive change, America underwent a case of the national bends.
What once were legitimate businesses were instantly replaced by gangsters, the quite legal business of selling alcohol now the sole province of a smuggler’s black market paradise. No longer was the nation’s attention focused on the likes of Carry Nation, who in fact had died in 1911 as the cause she was devoted to began picking up political steam. New names were being heard.
Al Capone, Bugsy Moran, the “speakeasy,” “bootlegging,” “moonshine,” and “bathtub gin” became household names and terms. Alcohol poisoning is said to have risen some 400% because a lot of the illegal booze was considerably impure.
Support for repeal began to take legitimate shape. Journalist H.L. Mencken trenchantly observed:
Five years of prohibition have had, at least, this one benign effect: they have completely disposed of all the favorite arguments of the Prohibitionists. None of the great boons and usufructs that were to follow the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment has come to pass. There is not less drunkenness in the Republic but more. There is not less crime, but more. There is not less insanity, but more. The cost of government is not smaller, but vastly greater. Respect for law has not increased, but diminished. (emphasis mine)

[...]
The New Ledger is reporting that one only need look at page 158 to find the exemption:
[...]
But as with a lot of legislative matters, the devil is in the details — or in this case, the definitions. (emphasis mine) As anyone who’s worked on Capitol Hill knows, the personal office staff for a member is governed by different rules than those who work on committees and in the leadership offices.

I watched the Green Bay/Cardinals game last night and thought at the end, man what a lousy way for Green Bay to lose! I missed the final play because I switched channels for moment and came back to see the replay of the touchdown. I saw all I needed to see, Green Bay lost in a heart breaker. What a way to lose a big game, right?
Then this morning I got up and much to my surprise I find that Green Bay didn’t lose in heart breaker, they were robbed! The refs “missed” one of the most blatant face mask calls I’ve ever seen.

Gotta say, I was pulled into global warming too. I believed the junk science that Al Gore and his slew of acolytes were spewing out and feeding us. Did I have my doubts and hesitations? Yes, on occasion I did, but now that we know that global warming data has been cooked, I’m mad. As I sit here in the Deep South where the temperature was 15 degrees when I awoke this morning, I’m not a happy camper.

It was during the discussion of these new poll numbers on MSNBC (the Palin Haters Network) that Ms. Brown shared with the audience how ignorant she thought Sarah Palin was, never thinking for even a nanosecond that this comment made her sound shallow and ignorant.
