Price Of Fuel Drops & We Are In A Recession--Again
Have you noticed the price of fuel has dropped? I did while driving through Kansas and Missouri. In stopping at a Love's servie station in Missouri I topped the tank off at $3.09 per gallon. Does this mean the Anointed One is finally looking after the American People? No, it doesn't. It's that our manufacturing output is down drastically. The fuel price is in futures. As long as we don't get whats underground the problem will never go away.
Oil fell after manufacturing in the U.S. unexpectedly shrank in June for the first time in almost three years.
Prices dropped 1.4 percent as the Institute for Supply Management’s U.S. factory index fell to 49.7 in June from 53.5 a month earlier. Euro-area unemployment reached the highest level on record in May, the European Union’s statistics office said today. Oil’s decline followed a 9.4 percent jump June 29.
“The ISM number strongly suggests that we’ve got a long haul before we see improvement in the economy and oil demand,”said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. “Economic data combined with the spike on Friday are going to convince people to get out of the market.”
Crude for August delivery decreased $1.21 to settle at $83.75 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices climbed $7.27 on June 29 to $84.96. The percentage gain was the biggest since March 12, 2009. Oil is down 15 percent this year.

How Obama Screws The Elderly On Healthcare
I've enclosed a snappy little video on how Medicare folks, like me, are screwed by the Obama healthcare plan.
Watch it and get po'd.
http://my.brainshark.com/The-President-s-8-Billion-Coincidence-356086344
Did you watch the video? If you did you shouldn't be surprised that folks like me are the forgotten ones. That's why the new law has Death Panels and rationing boards. If you don't believe this then you're a foolish liberal.
Let me tell you a story. I was in my hometown a week ago. I took my Mom out for a drive in the community. Mom has dementia and is in a home. During our drive I took her by the six homes we lived in as I was a kid growing up. I drove by the Boone County Hospital. Mom worked there from 1941 until she retired at age 70, twenty-three years ago. We went by a few other sites and Mother didn't recognize one place. She thinks I still work and am 40 years old. She thinks she's 62. Well, under healthcare mom will be denied any attempts to keep her alive. Younger people will say this is okay. She's outlived her usefullness and is unproductive so what the hell.
This is easy for the fifty and under crowd because they think they'll live forever. The finality of life hasn't hit them yet.
Let me take you back to mom's career. In her life she delivered over 5,000 babies as the head of the maternity unit at Boone County Hospital. I'm positive that during her tenure she saved the lives of babies, many, many babies. I'm sure she had to tell parents that their baby was stillborn or had hydrocephalus or a myriad of other other childhood problems. For many parents she was the first person they saw after a baby was born so she had better been excellent at what she did. Mom has earned whatever time she has left.
My mom enjoys watching the Chicago Cubs. She is absolutely in love with the Iowa State Cyclone basketball team and their coach, Fred Hoiberg. Three years ago Fred gave me a signed autographed picture and it's hanging on her mirror. It's the first thing she sees in the morning and the last thing at night. If, in the next two years, mom is still around her life has been determined by the government that for her to go on living is wrong. It's unacceptable. Put your own parent's in this position. Are you still a big Obama healthcare supporter? How about yourself? I know I have around twenty years on this earth if I'm lucky. Man, I've got a lot of livin' to do. But if I need that heart surgery or a new hip or prostate surgery, well, the government most likely will have my papers submitted to their rationing board and then they can say, "toughsky shitsky, old-timer", and there isn't one thing my children or myself can do about it except for me to go down to the funeral home and start planning.
Watch it and get po'd.

Barack's Communist Mentor
By Paul Kengor:
As readers of this site are aware, thanks especially to Jack Cashill's recent posts, I've been researching and writing a book on Barack Obama's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. (snip)I knew that the book would be very relevant, and we've been preparing for media reaction. In the book, I list at length the stunning commonalities in Davis's thinking and communist propaganda work and President Obama's thinking and work. That said, I didn't imagine how relevant it would be in light of the Supreme Court's decision on ObamaCare.

Cliff Clavin Explains Beer
If you remember the 'Cheers' television show you might recall Cliff Clavin as being an expert on all things big and small. My good friend, the Council Bluffs Cowboy, sent me an explanation on the qualities of drinking beer. Makes sense to me.
"Well, ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.."
