Dept. of HHS: A rudderless ship!

The Dept. of Health and Human Services which gobbles up millions of dollars in tax money, is tonight a rudderless ship!  That's right, HHS has no secretary thanks to the skillful guidance of President Obama who hasn't gotten someone confirmed, yet.  Nice work B.O.!
 
So as the country is ravaged by a swine flue pandemic, the Obama administration has a solution for dealing with no leadership at Health and Human Services.  Until further notice, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in charge of TWO cabinet positions.
 
Sure it's alot on her plate but keep in mind, this is the smartest woman on the face of the earth.  She managed to lose the Rose Law Firm billing records for over 2 years before finding them sitting on a coffee table in the White House.  She also managed to convince a major portion of the dunderheads in America that the Monica Lewinsky scandal of 1998 was a "vast right-wing conspiracy".  Remember that?
 
If anyone can handle TWO cabinet positions amidst some of the worst foreign policy and swine flu threats in decades, it is Hillary.  Don't you feel much more comforted now?  I sure do.

100 days of Teleprompting :)

Here it comes folks, the 100th day of the Obamanation and our president's teleprompter is getting ready to dress up for the occasion.  I'm sure the teleprompter has told Obama, "You and I, we're buds Mister President.  Without me, you'd look like a bigger buffoon than you already do.  I want a little more recognition here, a bigger slice of the pie and you best come correct.  Know what I'm sayin'?"
 
Just to show Obama how valuable he is, the teleprompter played a trick on our president this morning during a speech at the National Academy of Sciences, you won't see it in the dead or dying, frothing at the mouth, mainstream media but you will here:
 
 
You may remember this isn't the first time Obama's teleprompter has tricked him.  On St. Partick's Day, the teleprompter switched speeches on Obama so that he ended up giving the Irish Prime Minister's speech and he ended up THANKING HIMSELF before he realized it was the wrong speech! hahahaha  I swear it folks.  Look it up on Youtube and laugh your little keester off!
 
What you won't hear on Youtube is WHY the teleprompter swapped speeches on St. Patrick's Day....here's the scoop straight from my super secret sources at the Meat and Potatoes Blog.  It seems that Obama and his teleprompter had an argument the previous day and that teleprompter was mad at him.  The teleprompter wanted to be called by a different name because he's a very special unit.
 
Obama looked at his teleprompter and said "What do you want me to call you?"  The teleprompter looked over at the President in a sort of sheepish fashion and said "How about you call me....TELE-MARXIST!"

DemocRAT Plans to use the Nuclear Option!

Remember when Republicans wanted to change U.S. Senate rules so that Democrat minorities could not use the FILIBUSTER rule to block confirmation of President Bush's judicial nominees?  I know it was awhile ago, trust me it happened.  Anyways, the biased sorry excuse we have for a media in our country nicknamed this proposed rule change the "Nuclear Option".  What a joke!
 
Let me tell you folks about the real "Nuclear Option", here it is:  Democrats plan to temporarily suspend the FILIBUSTER rule so that only 51 votes are needed in the U.S. Senate to pass legislation, instead of the 60 votes as stipulated in the United States Constitution.
 
Have you looked up "Budget Reconcilation" yet and told your friends about it?  The statists who have overwhelming control of the House and now control 59 out of 100 seats in the U.S. Senate are going to use this process to RAM THROUGH a new entitlement program which will be the death knell for this nation.  Which program am I referring to?  National/Socialized Health-Care, of course.
 
Sorry to be depressing folks but America is already a sinking ship with social security and medicare bankruptcies.  Can you imagine the impact of adding socialized medicine for everyone?  This government can't even tie its own shoelaces nevermind manage our healthcare!  You thought $600 toilet seats and $800 hammers were bad?  You ain't seen nuthin' yet baby!
 
Please listen to me.  Budget Reconciliation was envisioned in the 1970's as a streamlined process of passing smaller budgets for the purpose of REDUCING DEFICITS!  It was never intended to be used as a "legislative sledgehammer" to slam through new entitlement programs.  If Democrats use this back-door tactic, it will be unbridled tyranny of the majority and our republic will pay with its life!

Democrat Crazy Train: All aboard?

Meat and Taters Loyalists know that I've called this Congress the Democrat Crazy Train for quite some time now.  It's gotten so bad up there in DC that I think they should play Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" right before starting each daily session.
 
Simply, the apathetic and ignorant American public has given seemingly inexplicable control of Congress by greater margins to Democrats. This enables them to enjoy an almost "filibuster-proof" majority in the U.S. Senate.  The last time they enjoyed such unstoppable control was 1977 (the Jimmy Carter era...BARFF!) where they passed such gems as the Community Reinvestment Act.  Boy what a helpful piece of legislation that one turned out to be.....NOT!  It created the housing bubble which resulted in a sub-prime mortgage meltdown crisis and gave us the mess we're in today. 
 
Keep in mind what I said earlier, Democrats enjoy an "almost Filibuster-Proof" majority and when it comes to passing an Obama budget with close to TRILLION dollar a year deficits for as far as the eye can see, resistance may be insurmountable.  Even Democrats may get a case of cold feet and vote down the measure.  Ahhh, but the Democrat Crazy Train will make a detour to avoid that possibility.
 
By invoking what is known as "Budget Reconciliation" and using it in a way that was NEVER intended, the Democrats can suspend the Senate rules in the U.S. Constitution and require only a simple majority (i.e. 51 out of 100) to pass Obama's budget.  Contained in this budget is something I've called the "Holy Grail" for statists:  Socialized Health-Care.  These leftist Democrats have longed to place all citizens under government controlled and rationed healthcare practically since the day they were born.  FDR wanted it back in the 1930's but was too busy building dams and taking farmland from East Tennesseans to bother with it.  Now, with 1/2 of the country completely in the dark as to what the hell is going on in Washington, the disciples of FDR see their moment to finish the job.
 
So who's to stop them?  Who will put their foot down and say "No!" to Constitutional tyranny on such a grandiose scale?  The answer my fellow Grassroots Trooper, better be YOU!  If Obama's minnions in Congress want to pass this 3.5 TRILLION dollar monstrosity and at the same time socialize yet another sector of our economy, let them go ahead and try it.  But they better damn well follow the rules of the Constitution as written at the convention in 1787.  It was the Senate's own "posterboy for statism" Chucky Schumer (D-NY) who once said that the U.S. Senate is intended to be the "cooling saucer of democracy" where legislation is slowed down, debated at length, closely examined and compromised upon.  What does ole Schumer say about the Democrat Crazy Train this time?  "ALLL ABOARRRD!"
 
Why don't you call Chucky "Schmucky" Schumer and ask him?  And while you're at it, ask him if the tick that bit him, ever recovered!
 
Addendum:  Here is a link to a National Review Online story which might explain Budget Reconciliation a bit better than I did:

Who's the bigger racist?

By now I'm sure you've all heard the outlandish rantings of Janine Garofolo which can only be described best as "mental".  (I love using that word as it reminds me of my youth! :)  Now, if you have not seen this gala performance on the "Network of Misanthropes" last week it's available for your viewing on Youtube right here:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms45EzMR0f8
 
Garofolo, who I've called a "four-eyed Casper the ghost" is probably the most vile creature in Hollywood and I wouldn't watch an episode of "24" with her in it even if you threatened to "waterboard" me or make me sleep with a caterpillar in my bed.  Notice how she attempts to play the race card right off the bat just like another leader in today's Democrat party, one Jesse Jackson.
 
So today's question to ponder....who's the bigger racist, Janine Garofolo or Jesse Jackson?  Comments count as votes or just "twitter" me if you have the time.  Oh, and here's a possible meaning for MSNBC:  "Mental Session Not By Coincidence".

Obama's gone overboard

There's no doubt in my mind that Obama Inc. has gone overboard with this latest "jihad" against members of the former Bush administration.  Question is did they voluntarily jump or were they pushed? :-)  Although the big dollar media punditry claim this is Obama's doing, I'm not so sure.  Meat and Potatoes Loyalists will remember my column called "Dumbo the Puppet" where I opined that Obama (who looks like Dumbo with those radar dish-sized ears) is merely a puppet of the statists to include Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and George Soros.  Let's face it, Obama is truly an "empty suit" with no real experience and no soul to speak of, besides one which favors a growing and ever more intrusive federal government.
 
So, based on my "Dumbo the Puppet" philosophy, it is logical to assume that Obama is being pushed by  the hard left who are as hideous and as viscious as any creature on planet earth folks.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, that the way these leftists use jealousy to cause hatred and division among members of our society is truly despicable.  It is the clearest proof I can find of their hideousness as human beings and they deserve our united scorn.
 
So does it surprise any of us that the leftists, who enjoy what I've called a "Democrat Crazy Train" of almost unlimited political power, will try to string former Bush administration officials up from the highest yardarm?  Of course not, in fact I've been expecting it!  They dream of videotape showing Karl Rove and Dick Cheney doing a frogmarch in handcuffs with U.S. Marshals on each arm. 
 
But here's what I believe folks.  Their dream will quickly turn into a nightmare as this whole thing bubbles up and explodes right in their sorry faces.  Even the most disconnected citizenry in our electorate can remember the scary, depressing days after 9/11 and how our eyes were filled with tears.  People looked up and remarked how quiet the skies were without a plane anywhere to be found.  Former Bush officials need to remind people that they were at the helm during those trying times and it could happen again if Obama and his ilk continue on this irresponsible path of behavior. 
 
Dick Cheney was masterful the other night as he pounded home the hyprocrisy of Obama administration selective release of classified security documents.  Keep in mind my Meat and Potatoes saying for liberal Democrats:  "Sure we're snobs and liars but above all, we're HYPOCRITES first!"  Cheney's point was this:  If you are going to release details of what we'll do and won't do to captured terrorists, you might as well release ALL the details of what occurred.  Don't only release the information necessary to perpetrate your hate-filled vendetta against the Bush administration.
 
American's will see through leftist hypocrisy and will develop a deep resentment as a result.  Even those who aren't fond of President Bush, I do believe.  But in order to attain a sufficient level of understanding and set the proper frame of reference, more Bush people must come forward and paint the picture.  Where are you Andy Card (who whispered into the President's ear that morning)?  Where are you Karen Hughes?  Time is almost as valuable as money in the game of politics, we haven't a second to lose.

Fuzzy Math: Obama Style

Hey folks check this out....
 
I majored in engineering during my 4 years at the Naval Academy but you know the ole saying "use it or lose it" and that certainly applies to what is called scientific notation.  Long division embarrassed the living crap out of me today as I endeavored to figure something out.
 
Obama unveiled his big budget saving plan, henceforth called the "BS Plan".  He wants the spendthrifts on his cabinet to find ways to save a WHOPPING 100 MILLION DOLLARS from our nation's budget.  So just how much of our budget does this savings amount to?
 
Given the fact that Obama's budget is 3.5 trillion, it took me about 5 minutes to figure out that 100 million is approximately 3 thousandths of a percent of it.  So, let's say my budget is $40,000 a year and I decide to save 3 thousandths of a percent......
 
How much would  I have to save?  A whopping $1.20 a year.  Now that's certainly a BS Plan, don't you think?
 
God help us!

Guess who's all a "Twitter"?

That's right, Mister Meat and Taters is now "twittering" folks, I couldn't hold off forever.  We must embrace technology sooner or later lest we be relegated to the ashbin of anachronistic irrelevance.  Along those lines, I am currently working on a website that will feature my own domain name of "MEATANDPOTATOESBLOG".  This site will feature daily tidbits, sarcastic lampooning of liberal hypocrites and even mp3 files of Meat and Taters rants, just you wait!
 
But for now, you can find me posting on Twitter where my name is "GRASSROOTTROOPR".  I thought it was fitting folks!
 
Oh before I forget, we had some misanthropes on Craigslist here in Knoxville, TN who chose to bash the Tea Parties on April 15th.  So would you guess who just had to go on there and pound them into submission with historical truths and a nice dose of reality?
 
Here's the link to the politics board on Craigslist, why don't you go see?  http://knoxville.craigslist.org/pol/
 
As usual, you will be entertained by my factual, sarcastic and brutally honest diatribe.  It's "no holds barred" here at Meat N Taters!!!

Valuable Tea Party Lesson

There is a valuable lesson to be learned for all as a result of these Tea Parties.  America is deeply embroiled in an "Information War".  I first noticed this "war" 3 years ago as I began writing on the web.  News stories of relevance were regularly SKIPPED by the biased leftists who infest our mainstream (drive-by) media.  Once a story became unavoidable, networks like CNN would reluctantly cover them but make every effort to demagogue or mischaracterize the story in order to suit a leftist political agenda.
 
Case in point:  Tea Parties on April 15th.  I have met people who actually think the Tea Parties were a sign of dislike for Obama and even more unbelievably, an indication of racist behavior by rednecks who hate blacks.  Bottom line:  the coverage of these Tea Parties is the CLEAREST EVIDENCE I CAN FIND that America is fighting a raging inferno known as the "Information War".  Read on you must!
 
 
Information Wars
by Sean Plankey (October 9th 2007)
 
The Democrat-fueled debacle over Rush Limbaugh last week provided just enough impetus for me to get my butt in gear and write about a "war" that threatens to doom our republic.  This war is metaphorical in nature, we do not fight it with bombs and bullets but that doesn't mean it is any less important than the war we fight against Islamo-Fascism.  On the contrary, this war is much more important because it affects everything that poses a threat or challenge to our nation including the wars we fight in Iraq and Afghanistan.  A wise man once said that "information is power" and when a war is fought over information, we all need to enlist as soldiers in the fight.  A representative republic cannot function effectively over the long-term if its populace is divided over what is the truth.  That is why these "Information Wars" we fight are such a threat to our nation's existence.

I have coined a name for those partiotic individuals in our country who see how information is manipulated, twisted or hidden altogether in today's partisan political world.  These people stand for what is just and right, they love this nation with every fibre of their being and are undaunted in their quest to spread the truth.  These people are known simply as: Grassroots Troopers.

Are you a Grassroots Trooper?  Well if you notice lies and deception being spread by operatives in the media or our government and it makes your pulse quicken, your blood pressure rise or your nostrils begin to flare, I suspect you just might be one!  Of course, to know if something runs the risk of being untrue, you must have a good knowledge base to start with and be continuously expanding it.  This takes hard work and a true commitment to being the most informed person on the block.  Many people are content with only knowing enough to get by or living in their own little "bubble" which eliminates the need to know anything of substance.  Sitting in their own little comfort zones, they probably don't realize how their lack of involvement is not only unpatriotic but how it threatens the sanctity of our representative republic.

The Founding Fathers wrote in detail about the need for an informed electorate in making democracy work properly over the long-term.  An ignorant or misled populace would be duped into electing demagogues (like Obama) or other individuals who did not have the best interests of the republic at heart.  The result?  Ineffective or even dishonest government which slowly takes the nation in a direction that was never intended by the Founding Fathers.  As we look around at the spectre of runaway taxation needed to support broken entitlement programs and socialized medicine in our near future, this is certainly where we find ourselves today.

I alluded to this "Information War" in a previous column entitled "Harry Reid needs a BEATING" and I encourage you to read it after you finish this one.  How's that for a shameless plug?  The debacle last week on the floor of the U.S. Senate is a textbook example of what is going on in America today.  People who are perceived as a threat to someone's agenda, such as Rush Limbaugh are literally watched on a 24/7 basis.  Every word they say on the air is examined and parsed to see if it can be manipulated into a smear.  Once birth has been given to the smear, it is sent out from one group to another for dissemination.  We have subversive left-wing journalists, many of whom loathe talk radio because it destroyed their monopolisitic stranglehold on information, grabbing onto these smears and disguising them as objective news reporting!  When asked about their "story line", they doggedly stick to their story and claim that the person posing the question is misinformed! Round and round this goes like a dog chasing its tail with everyone in attendance getting dizzy.  These journalists are masters at twisting the truth in such a way so that in the event they are charged with libel, the burden of proof cannot be met in a court of law.  Hence, its all good, no fuss...no muss for our media.

If you are sick of this (as I am) you may be exhibiting the automatic physiological responses I referred to earlier in this column.  Lies and smears spread about any individual are unjust, shameful and need to be denounced!  That is why you must decide if you are a Grassroots Trooper, mobilize and join the fight for truth in today's divided, partisan America.  Start with the "Meat and Potatoes Blog" and work your way to other objective news reporting but never, ever rely on a single, solitary source for news information.  Once you know the truth, then comes the really hard part.  When you hear dunderheaded fools shooting their mouths off, spouting half-truths or outright lies, it is time to speak up!  Turn to them and ask the source of their claim, however outlandish or nonsensical it may be.  They will stumble around for an answer and may even make up a source to avoid appearing stupid.  Their dodging stupidity will be short-lived however, as you dig deeper into their statements, provide factual, historical rebuttal and clamp on like a pit-bull after the mailman! 

This may get you off the company popularity list or drive you away from the water cooler party but it will earn you the respect of those who deep down detest lies and wish they had the gumption to speak up themselves.  Over time, your efforts will bring people "into the fold", so to speak and they too will become Grassroots Troopers.  "Information Wars" can be won but only if each patriotic American realizes that we all have a stake in the fight.  When a media becomes as corrupted as the one we have in this country, the American way of life becomes threatened.  For this reason and this reason alone, I fight the "war" each and every day.  It is what fuels me, what drives me and what makes me wake-up to serve another day!

Cunningham radio show on NOWWW!

Bill Cunningham is on your local talk radio now....10pm to 1am eastern time.  In case you missed it, he just got done ripping the ever living dogsqueeze out of this dunderheaded douchebag from Milwaukee named Jerry.
 
Jerry believes that we have to work to win the hearts and minds of Islamo-fascists like the ones who killed our countrymen on 9-11.  Just how do we do that buddy?  Do we send them care packages or go over to the middle east and have dinner with them?
 
Tell you what Jerry, you can go first.  You go over there and have a meet and greet with these killers and you can realize how stupid you are just as they're cutting your head off.

Another day, another Czar

Obama announced yet another czar today, the "Border Czar".  What is this administration's fascination with the word czar?  Are we a bunch of Russians here folks?  I know Obama wants to "spread the wealth around" just like Karl Marx so perhaps calling everyone a czar is just what we need, I don't know.
 
So while we're at it, let's give President Obama a NEW Meat and Potatoes nickname:  THE FAIRNESS CZAR!  haha (I kill me)

How FAR have we slid....

How far have we slid folks, towards the portals of tyranny so that we can never come back?  Let me provide you with something from my past which illustrates the slow changes we hardly notice:  My American Legion Certificate of School Award from 1980:
 
"This Certificate of Distinguished Achievement is awarded to 'Mr. Meat and Taters' of Powder Mill School in recognition of attainment acquired as winner of The American Legion School Award.  In further recognition of the possession of those high qualities  of Courage, Honor, Leadership, Patriotism, Scholarship, and Service which are necessary to the preservation and protection of the fundamental institutions of our government and the advancement of our society.
 
This award is made by the American Legion Post "338, Southwick, Massachusetts 01077, this month of June, day of the 4th, 1980"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What has happened to our "institutions of government" when they pass spending bills which nobody reads? hmm.  What has happened to courage, honor and leadership when people sit back and do absolutely nothing about our government gone wild?  This government has gone fascistic while seizing control of any sector of our economy which it deems necessary.  Is this not a scary condition? 
 
Think back to 1980 when a young, zit faced, big eared kid got this award.  Wasn't government more innocent.....just LIKE this kid??

The Death of CNN...Finally

First of all, someone made the mistake of putting Jamie Dupree (the douchebag) on the Neal Boortz Show this morning in the first hour so you know what that means???  We change the channel and avoid the Neal Boortz Show all morning or until "Dupree the Douchebag" is gone.  Dupree is a garbage reporter who spews lies and opinions disguised as objective news.
 
Ok, moving along now to the death of CNN which we witnessed yesterday with the performance of another pile of garbage masquerading as a reporter.  Have you heard about the female version of Jamie Dupree named Susan Roesgen?  This walking piece of crap decided to attend a Tea Party and harrass the partiotic attendees INSTEAD OF REPORT THE NEWS LIKE SHE'S SUPPOSED TO!!!!
 
Don't believe me, you better watch this Youtube clip and witness the DEATH of CNN as they become exposed for what they truly are, a bunch of viscious left-wing hacks masquerading as news reporters, the ONE exception is Lou Dobbs.  Here's the clip:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijjZRBkn_Sw
 
There's a reason I've been telling you Grassroots Troopers all these years that CNN stands for the Communist News Network.  Any news network that would allow a misanthropic curmudgeon like Jack Cafferty to report leftist opinions as objective news, should be avoided like the plague.  This performance by Susan Roesgen seals CNN's fate forever as the "network to avoid".  Good riddance!
 
Addendum:  NEAL BOORTZ HYPOCRISY ALERT!  Neal Boortz is calling for Susan Roesgen to be fired, yet it's his show which features the equally liberal biased reporter named Jamie Dupree.  Boortz should be taking a look at HIS OWN BIASED reporters and leave CNN to take care of their "trouble children".  MYOB Mister Boortz and stop being a hypocrite!

Tea Party Pride

I missed out on today's Tea Parties due to career obligations and it will haunt me for many years.  Why?  Because I feel as if I missed out on history in the making.  Just think about it!  We had American patriots, excersising their Constitutiontal right to address grievances in a peaceful manner.  This has not been seen on such a grandiose scale in many decades.

Tonight I'm just too tired to comment in depth about these Tea Parties but tomorrow, I will have extensive comment rest assured!
 
-the Informer
 
P.S.- As I slip into slumber tonight, I'll be filled with nothing but PRIDE.

Leave the Somalian "kid" alone...

I'm shocked beyond belief folks after finding out that the "Socialist States of America" is flying a poor, misguided Somalian criminal over here from the Indian Ocean, so he can stand trial and possibly serve a life sentence.   After all, this "boy" is 16 and cannot be tried as an adult.  His life began with no father figure, no real guidance from a mother who should have nurtured him and taught him right from wrong.  He joined gangs not long after running away from home and proceeded to engage in acts of unspeakable violence.  We need to understand his inner rage and realize that he is not responsible for these acts.
 
It just occurred to me, this "kid" could have easily come from Detroit, NY City or Chicago.  Maybe he will gain US citizenship after being acquitted by a jury of "American Idol" fans in one of our courtrooms.  Then he can sign up for welfare benefits and become a loyal Democrat voter in one of these cities!
