Porkulus that Works

Huff Post : Only $100 billion of the $787 billion stimulus package passed nine months ago has actually been spent by the federal government so far, with another $90 billion of stimulus coming in the form of tax reductions, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported Monday evening. That leaves three quarters of the package -- and its stimulative effects -- yet to come. Slow as that pace may seem, it's in line with initial CBO estimates. But much of the spending hasn't had the full impact it could, the report says, because "it appears that stimulus funds substituted for some spending from regular appropriations." Despite the limitations, the CBO estimates that between 600,000 and 1.6 million people were employed in the third quarter of 2009 who otherwise would not have been. The spending and tax cuts raised the Gross Domestic Product by somewhere between 1.2 and 3.2 percent, it found, and reduced unemployment by 0.3 to 0.9 percent. Somehow this will be spun th...

Get Your Dunkin Wednesday

So tomorrow the lady I and start our annual vacation, Labor Day PEOPLE! We will be on a boat having a splendid time with family and friends, so expect light and even suckier blogging. Tonight, however we will be spending a grand ole time at Laughing Liberally in ninja costumes (aka street wear) and enjoying cartoons by HeadzUp and the comic timing of many friends. It should be a ruckus. If you get a chance come on out! Here are your highlights: Every Time I Die's new album releases Sept. 15, early reviews IT IS AWESOME Gov. Sanford must be talking to a different God The US was made up of MONSTERS and now Eric just wants to hold up a mirror GOP's Self-fulling Prophecy , the gubbament doesn't work because when we run da gubbament it gets all fugged up and stuff Best or worst alarm clock idea ever, it will call your friends randomly till you wake up... Sullivan explains to Lowry torture The South and the West are most likely to oppose health care reform that would help the...

Get Your Dunkin Thursday

Wow never let your cousins from the burbs convince you it will be a light drinking night....hungova. I have come to the conclusion if you start drinking young in Chicago, you will continue to drink like you are young no matter how old you get. How do these people wake up for work everyday I have no idea. The above is another great video from my friends at HeadzUp , the Health Care Debate is getting heated and the pressure from the Left needs to continue for real reform to occur, but what is with Obama? His staff can't even get the message straight, it does remind me of a quote I once read from Bill Clinton, "you needed to push harder from the Left." The more Obama and the Dems get a nudge, the more the bill can look like the bill America needs. Forget the Repubs, this is not about them it is about the health of our future. Here are your highlights: The Fair and Balanced Rupert Murdoch is fairly encouraging unethical and illegal "journalism" Palin, her resignat...

House of No

Image
Eric Cantor (puts the CAN'T in Cantor) , one of the leaders of The House of No, or the Republisucks as I like to call them put out an awesome video celebrating their "no" vote on the Stimulus Package. And by awesome I mean a bragging, frat like video with Aerosmith in the background singing "Back in Saddle." Now, I only took remedial psychology course at the local community college, but I know denial when I see it . This is straight crazy. Put them all in Arkham Asylum and hope they don't break loose. This compares to Detroit Lions fans claiming a succesful 2008 season. The Cubs claiming a World Series win or Mike Tyson holding the heavy weight belt again. IT'S ONE STEP AWAY FROM STRAIGH JACKET CRISS ANGEL STYLE! Normally when you lose an election, drop seats in both the House and Senate, have a Democratic President in office with a 68% approval rating , an economy on the downturn, banks failing across the globe because of your failed policies; you don...

Reid and Leaders Cut More from Stimulus?

Image
moar funny pictures Rumor has it , stupidity is actually what runs Democracy. I hope not, but it looks bad. Real bad. I am not sure what to say. I am actually out of words. Oh wait that never happens. So here is a little advice. Go back into that room grow some barrs. Big barrs and DO YOUR JOB!!! Or else Frank is going to get all Grey Hulk on your asses. Wolverine on your asses. RuPaul on your asses (and then you will be sorry sore sorry) This is like eating a pear and calling it an apple. Or pooping a log and calling it potpourri. It's like listening to Yanni and calling it good. It's like being a Congressman or Senator and not doing your job. Here's a video that reminds us of what we should be hearing from our leaders: Sorry wrong video, but those kids tore it up! I am Frank Chow and I am bout fed up.

RAGE ON! WE'VE ELECTED MORONS!

Image
The Senate says they have come to an agreement on the Stimulus Package/Bill/God Save Us Please Bill and lo and behold what did they compromise? Education, More Tax Cuts and State Aid!!! That makes as much sense as me punching myself in the gut with the fist of Mike Tyson, while screaming yippee and wearing My Little Pony embroidered pajamas. I would rather be watching Sarah Palin give a speech on motherhood and abstinence then listen to this "Blue Dog-Bipartisan" group of MORONS! It's like we elected all the kids who ate glue all day in elementary school and wrote essays about hair-styles and the importance of a slap bracelet in high school only to get blacked out drunk for four years of college on Daddy's dollar. Let's ignore all economists, geniuses and Nobel Prize winners about how to best deal with our current crisis and drop a deuce on all of them by eliminating the bare essentials of the BILL! Yeah pat ourselves on the back for that one. If you have time pl...

Country First Goes Country Last

Image
John "Maverick" McCain now is asking his supporters and America to oppose the Stimulus Package. This is the same guy who LOST the election and said um "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" and " I don't know much about the economy." That being said, the bigger question is, why would anyone listen to him? Newsflash: I have just decided to SUSPEND my blogging. Newsflash: I have un-suspended my blogging. Newsflash: No longer suspending, but bungee jumping my blogging. Newsflash: I have decided Country First I am super high rising my blogging. Newsflash: I Rule! I am Frank Chow and I approved this message.

All Kinds Of Rage

The Stimulus Package Debate has begun and rage on has begun! The Repubs compiled a list of what they deem as "wasteful" spending. Leave it to the Republican party to shoot down the bill with catch phrases instead of facts. Some highlights from the bill that Republicans deem wasteful (we are trying to create jobs here and rebuild America, remember that): • $400 million for the Centers for Disease Control to screen and prevent STD's. -Wait what? Better control and understanding of "the Clap" ? Invest more money please! • $1.4 billion for rural waste disposal programs. -I don't want to deal with Farmers' and Cows' sh*t. • $125 million for the Washington sewer system. -See above substitute Lumberjacks' and Hippies'. • $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River. - Let's see the Mississippi River runs how far? And damaging flooding costs how much? And people would have to "build" these reduction projects.......

Mitch Sucks and Sea Monkeys

Image
This is Mitch. Mitch sucks at life. Any questions? Let's just keep this as base as possible. Iraq War- Trillions of dollars Stimulus- $819 billion Iraq War- Trillions of dollars Stimulus- $819 billion One creates jobs, one creates hate, death and possibly more terrorists. Now should we listen to Repubs about spending? Or should we just tell them to SHUT THE F UP?! When was the last good thing the Republican Party passed? These are the same people who filibustered the Civil Rights Act . What makes anyone think they aren't going to filibuster the Stimulus Plan? Mitch McConnell says they won't , but he also wants to change the Stimulus Package to only suit Republicans......hmmmm.....let me get this straight. You screw up and we reward you by letting you change bills. NOPE SORRY THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!! I have a story it goes like this again at the most base level: When I was a kid I had Sea Monkeys. They were my Sea Monkeys. One day my younger brother flushed them all dow...

(It still passed you whiny numb nuts) I am Frank Chow and I approved this message.
