Stuff you may or may not know about your local, state, and federal government

I Was Wrong

I’m admitting to you, I was wrong.

I wrote earlier that it cost you the taxpayer about $1,000,000 big ones every time President Obama takes a flight and stumps for Hillybob. You can read my original post HERE.

It was recently noted that the DNC paid what it says is customary reimbursement for use of Air Force One.  The amount that they paid?

$36,602.99

Looks like I was way off base. I made the erroneous assumption that they paid half of the cost. They reimbursed less than 4% of the total costNOT 50% as I had estimated.  My bad.  Interestingly they also used 2 hours of flight time in their reimbursement calculation.

Revising my numbers, it looks like it costs the US Taxpayer almost the full $2 million big tamales,

$1,963,397.01

You know the old saying when you assume something, “They make an ASS out of you and me”, which is just what they are doing.

So I hereby apologize to President Obama, The DNC, and Hillybob for making an incorrect assumption about how fair and transparent they are to the American taxpayer.

Darwin To The Rescue!

Yesterday, Governor Moonbeam here in The People’s Republik of Kalifornia signed a bill into law, to limit methane emissions from cow manure. Sounds like a bunch of bovine excrement out of our government, once again. You can read the bill HERE.

The big takeaway is that both methane gas and the solid waste products from cows need to be reduced to prevent further “global warming”.

If you’re a Darwinist, the solution is quite simple. Breed cows that don’t crap!

Some of you may be quite skeptical of this proposal but it WILL work, I’m telling you.  According to the Kalifornia Board of Edukation, Darwinistic evolution is the only “true science” that explains the origin of species.  Let’s run with what the great minds in Kalifornia education profess as TRUTH.

Look at what Darwin said. He theorized by his observations that species “originate and evolve” through environmental or human created (breeding) changes to their living conditions.

This is what we need to do to create crap-less cows. We superglue butt-plugs in every cow and newborn calf to prevent them from excreting manure. Many of them will die off, but according to Darwin some will survive in this new man-made environment and they will be the progenitors of the new species of crap-less cows. If you believe Darwin it should only take a few generations to happen. Just like the pigs that returned to the oceans to feed, which became whales, never mind that fact that there aren’t or never were intermediate pig-fish.

Easy Peasy solution, I’d say. We just need a fecal load of cow butt-plugs and a whole bunch of tubes of superglue!  Maybe a few rubber gloves and some clothes pins for our noses.

All the atheist-evolutionists should be celebrating this government mandated opportunity to disprove the existence of God. Woohoo!

Now if you believe this bovine excrement solution (and all the good atheists should), I have a bridge for sale…

Or perhaps, as my friend mentioned to me after I related to him this proposed solution of breeding crap-less cows, we can superglue the butt-plugs into our politicians and they will evolve to stop making bovine excrement filled laws.

Irony Of My First Post About The DNC

I had pointed out the ironic choice of The Wells Fargo Center as the venue for the DNC convention and Hillybob coronation ceremony only because it was humorous to me that the “most progressive” party would hold their convention at a place sponsored by big banking.  You can read my original post about the DNC’s choice of location here.

Wells Fargo, the sponsor of the venue was recently fined $185,000,000 for opening more than 2 MILLION fraudulent bank and credit card accounts without customers’ knowledge or consent.

My first post seems somewhat prescient, given all of the secrecy and deception that surrounds the DNC and their candidate, that Wells Fargo is just as sneaky.

I find it interesting that Wells Fargo fraud wasn’t caught by the Feds who have oversight of the banking industry.  A reporter brought it to the Feds’ attention after he received complaints from consumers and had done his own investigation.  Wells Fargo says that they have gotten rid of the bad apples by firing 5300  managers and employees.  The highest level employee affected was allowed to retire and keep $123,000,000 in stock and bonuses.  Not a bad parting gift, if you were to ask me.

The sad part about the piercing of the veil of secrecy surrounding the DNC is that it was only through the hacked emails published by Wikileaks that any of this came to see the light of day.

I wonder if President Hillybob will claim as did President Obama to have the most transparent administration ever.

Hmmm, maybe they use “transparent” to mean that you can see what’s beyond, but not necessarily what’s right in front of your eyes?
