The BoBo Carnival of Politics – December 21, 2008 Edition

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, BoBo, Carnival, Congress, Democrats, Liberals, Media Bias, Obama, Politics, President, Religion, Republicans, government, libertarian

I can definitely tell many have already moved in to “holiday” mode!  There were only 13 submissions this week.  Still not too shabby, but expected.  Also, I received word this weekend that The BoBo Carnival of Politics will be the featured Carnival again over at Blog Carnival on Monday, December 29th.  So, make sure you guys get your submissions in this week for the December 28th edition as that will be the one seen by everyone that comes by and checks it out.  That will be the last carnival of 2008!  I’m not expecting too many at all that edition anyway considering it’s right in between Christmas and New Years.  Hopefully, there will be enough bloggers out there that have a real life and will be on vacation – unlike this BoBo!

So, without further adieu – here is this week’s edition:

Liberal

Madeleine Begun Kane presents Why Caroline Kennedy? posted at Mad Kane’s Political Madness.

I’m still wondering just what exactly her qualifications are for being a Senator considering she has no experience in politics at all.  I too am in agreement with Kuby.

Miscellaneous

ANTHONY PHIRI presents Leaders And Commentators:Views Of A Maverick Intellectual posted at AS Online Journal & Top 10 Website Rankings Index, saying, “It’s all about free speech and meaningful argument, nothing else.”

Interesting blog you have there Anthony.  You might want to check the page you linked to.  Your adsense banner ad cuts right through the middle of your last post, your page bottom banner actually cuts right through the following post, and it appears that something is missing from the top of same article.  Other than that, I enjoyed your discussion on Caroline Kennedy.  But, I would have to disagree with your conclusion – she is in no way prepared to be a Senator in THIS country.

David Lamb presents Mr. Keynes Finds a New Home: The exportation of American economic policy posted at Inside Government.

Another excellent post by those guys over at Inside Government (no, I’m not biased or anything).  Looks like other nations who were against lowering rates during a recession and increasing deficit spending just might be seriously considering it.  David lays it out very well in this discussion.

News

debergerac78 presents Was Governor Blagojevich really that stupid? posted at The Business Ethics Blog, saying, “The Illinois governor’s attempt to peddle a Senate seat for money or favors would have Lincoln spinning in his grave.”

I wouldn’t say he is that stupid – I would say that he’s that brazen.  Given he grew up in Chicago politics where corruption is the norm – to him he truly believes he didn’t do anything wrong. Hell, he even challenged the FBI just days before he was arrested. Fortunately for the rest of us and Illinois – this politician is about to find out just how wrong he is and just how wrong and fraudulent those Chicago politicians – like Obama – really are!

Bradley Hankins presents In Response To BoycottAlabamaNow.com Part 1 posted at Kayloo.

Ah yes.  I referenced this in a previous post this week related to the bailouts.  Bradley actually has 3 parts to this series with an expected 4th.  There is some idiot out there calling for a boycott of the state of Alabama because of the foreign auto manufacturers there.  These are various responses from Bradley to some of the most ridiculous crap found on that other site.

Aahz presents Parenting And Politics Don?t Always Mix posted at Philaahzophy, saying, “Passionate political beliefs and proper parenting often clash. But these folx took things WAY too far…”

Welcome back Aahz.  When I read this article on Drudge earlier in the week I was absolutely floored.  Those parents are idiots.  Do you really thinks he believes his own bullshit explanations? I feel bad for those kids.  Once they hit mainstream schools their lives are going to be miserable.  Kids can be cruel to one another. It wouldn’t surprise me if teachers begin to refuse to accept or teach them because they will refuse to call them by there names.

Sammy Benoit presents Governor Patterson PICK ME, Not Kennedy posted at YID With LID.

Hey Yid! Shalom. Mashlomech! You got my vote.  I love that line “Jewish by insemination”  Sure to be a classic. :D

Sammy Benoit presents New York Senator Update-Media Bias posted at YID With LID.

Dude – that really sucks.  If they are going to follow her and Al Sharpton – they should have given you equal time as well.  But, I do have to agree – you are more unqualified that Pamela Geller.  You still have my vote. I also have to point out – an inside curve is practically a guaranteed homerun.

SpkTruth2Pwr presents Blago’s Free Market of Political Representation posted at The Apathy Remedy, saying, “Corruption and free market goes hand in hand in Blago’s Book. Read on!”

Ain’t that the truth!  It’s just the corrupt politics of the Chicago machine.  As stated earlier – he probably really believes he did nothing wrong since this is business as usual in Illinois.  It still amazes me that anybody would think that Obama isn’t corrupt considering he learned his politics by these same people.  But – I still want to hear Bloggy’s side.  It will make for some great entertainment and interesting blogging!

Ron McKie presents White people win again posted at Phuck Politics.

Well – I’m just going to reiterate something I said in a previous post – GWB is a freakin’ idiot.  The good news is that our representatives listened to us this time.  The bad news is – the President is a freakin’ idiot.  I don’t really buy in to your idea that we’re a nation of pussies.  I think what is happening is that a lot of us out here are trying to figure out what we can do short of a complete pillage and takeover of D.C.

Politics

Buck Says presents Auto Bailout: A Horse With Two Ends posted at Buck Says, saying, “The Auto Bailout has politicians lining up left and right with little attention to the possible scary results of their actions”

Welcome, Buck!  Well, as we all know – the good news is our representatives heard us.  The bad news is, President Bush is an idiot. One of the other aspects that you failed to mention is that almost $2,000 of any American built car goes directly to those union organized legacy costs.  The foreign automakers are able to put a heckuva lot of cool stuff in their cars for that extra $2000 which is why they are more attractive and affordable.  I agree with your assessment there – bankruptcy never should have been taken off the table.  It would have forced the UAW to make concessions.  Unfortunately, Bush gave the automakers $17.4B with now strings attached.  They just have to submit a plan by viability plan by March otherwise the loan comes due.  My only question is – what if the plans aren’t worth shit and Congress and Obama reject them – how the heck are we taxpayers going to get $17.4B back from the automakers when they won’t have it?

vjack presents Obama’s Inaugural Blunder: Rick Warren posted at Atheist Revolution.

I thought his choice of Warren was pretty odd myself given Obama’s politics and promises to you guys on the left.  Looks like we right-wingers aren’t the only one’s who will be watching now!  But, what surprises me is that it surprises you guys.  He clearly stated in a debate that he is opposed to gay marriage.  Why wouldn’t he invite a pastor who opposes gay marriage to give the invocation?  The reason why I thought it odd that he invited Warren is the fact that Obama is a follower of Black Liberation Theology – why would he invite an Evangelical?  But, still – we on the right were warning you guys on the left for the last year that he’s not showing his true face.  He was only saying what he needed to say to get the power.  He has lied about his entire history and denied his relationships with far-left radicals.  It doesn’t surprise me that he has done an about face.  It looks like you guys will be left without hope because he has changed.  Is this the change you were expecting?

U.S. Common Sense presents Political Blog Listing posted at U.S. Common Sense, saying, “I still need at least four bloggers to volunteer for a free blog review. Anyone who just wants their site listed is more than welcomed to participate.”

Everyone should take him up on this.  It’s a great opportunity to get your site listed and to get some good advise regarding your blog.  He gave me some good pointers – which I haven’t implemented yet – but plan on it.  Sometimes its a good thing to get another eye on things.

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of The BoBo Carnival of Politics using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

I’m convinced! GWB is a freakin’ idiot!

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: A Nation at Risk, America, Congress, Conservative, Democrats, Idiots, Liberals, Obama, Politics, President, Republicans, Retard, Socialism, government
Duuuuhhhhh

Duuuuhhhhh

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind now that GWB is an absolute brainless idiot! Yes, I’ve had a few disagreements with him in the past, but, for most of his tenure as the President I’ve been pretty supportive.

I just came across this story from Breitbart TV: Bush says sacrificed free-market principles to save economy. This is just absolute proof this moron has no freakin’ clue what the hell he is doing!

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,” Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision “to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse.”

What? This country has survived and became the great nation that it was BECAUSE of the free-market capitalist system!  You have ensured the collapse of capitalism as we know it.  Any first-year college kid taking ECON-101 knows you don’t use socialism and institute a nationalist system in order to repair the free-market system.  This just means you’re an idiot and you just don’t get it.

The ONLY way for the free-market system to survive is to let it work – keep the damned government out of it – no interference!  Bail-outs are anti-capitalism.  It prevents a free-market system from doing what it’s supposed to do – fix itself by weeding out companies that aren’t performing properly.  It weeds out the greedy corporations because people will stop using their services or buying their goods.

You assholes in D.C. have been unfairly regulating private business for so long and putting free-market strangling rules and regulations on private businesses to prevent them from operating at optimal conditions that they were doomed to fail..(i.e., auto industry).  Then, you come in and bail out those businesses using MY money WITHOUT MY permission which ensured the collapse of this economy.  Not only THAT – you saw the corruption with Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charlie Rangel, and many many others and their direct influence on this economy and their dirty dealings – and did nothing.  You never once opened up and called for a single investigation in to their activities – which you have the authority to do.  Our government is based on a system of Checks and Balances – you’re supposed to be CHECKING them!  Instead – you let the legislative branch put you on the defense.  You should have been on offense with them this entire time!

NO BUSINESS is TOO BIG to FAIL!  LET THEM FAIL – that is what capitalism and the free-market system is all about!  When one business fails – another comes along to pick up where they left off to make things better.  The idea that you think the only way to save a free-market system is to use socialist policies means you are either a complete blithering idiot or the left has your balls.  I think it’s probably a combination of both.

The most frightening aspect of this whole thing is that by implementing this socialist policy now – you have totally opened the door for what is bound to be the most liberal government in our history.  You have practically handed Obama the keys to capitalism and told him he can lock it away in the basement for good.  Obama will only build on these socialist policies that YOU started and ensure this country heads down the path to socialism and will doom this economy in to a long-term depression.  If you really wanted to help this economy – you should NOT have given out those damned “rebate” checks and you sure as hell should not have bailed out ANY private business at all!  If you really wanted to help this economy you would have forced Congress to repeal that idiotic CRA.  But, no…you’re the damned idiot that extended it and even provided additional federal funding for first time homebuyers knowing there was no verification of identity and income checks.  If you really wanted to help this economy you would have forced Congress to fix the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac issue.  But, no…you just sat on your ass up there and watched it happen.

And don’t go trying to tell me that the President can’t force Congress to do anything.  He can make weekly televised appearances letting the people of this country know what is going on and let the people get involved.  We the people didn’t really know about any of this until it was too late.  The media, which is supposed to be the watchdog of government failed to do their duty by not keeping us informed.  Instead – they joined the anti-war left and all we ever heard about is how much Bush and Cheney are warmongers and gave us the daily tally of our dead soldiers.

You, Mr. GWB will go down in history now as the President that killed capitalism.  You will be the President that goes down in history as having the ability to prevent this from happening, but sat idly by and waited for it come tumbling down around us.  I believe you are going to be ranked right in there with Jimmy Carter now.  Jimmy Carter started this mess over 30 years ago – and you had the ability to stop it.  Instead – you start handing out money like crazy to those who don’t deserve it and you expanded government to a size never before seen in this country.  You should have just run as a liberal Democrat because that’s the way you’ve been governing.  Not only did you abandon the free-market system – you abandoned all conservative values as well.

State laws gone amok? WTF?

Posted by: The BoBo  //  Category: America, Idiots, government

It makes sense that if you are a physician, lawyer, nurse, financial planner, building contractors, etc that a state may require you to be licensed as this certifies that you’ve had the education, training, and passed the state exams and have proven yourself to the state that you can conduct yourself in a professional manner – and – it gives potential clients the assurances and confidence they need when you hire them.

But – when you’re looking to have someone come in to your home or office and make recommendations – do you look for them to be “licensed?”  If your neighbor has done an excellent job at putting their home together – do you think you might consider paying them to help you out and make your home look as beautiful as theirs?  If you did – would you ask your neighbor if she has a license?

Well – apparently, in the state of Florida (and I’ve read there are other states) Interior Designors are required to be licensed! In the state of Florida – if you pay your neighbor to help you out – your neighbor can be fined up to $10,000 for providing that assistance:

It’s true. If you improperly call yourself an “interior designer,” or hold yourself out to the public as one who provides such services for businesses, you have run afoul of Chapter 481, Florida Statutes. A true licensed designer has undergone years of education and training.

There is an outfit that regulates this, the Board of Architecture and Interior Design. Violating the law is a first-degree misdemeanor. It also is punishable by civil fines.

Seriously? Years of education and training? To pick out furniture and accessories? Who the hell goes to college for “Interior Design?” What the hell kind of “training” is required to freakin color coordinate a damned room? Do you really need to take a class to know that a giant wire spool for a coffee table is a design no-no unless you’re a bachelor or living in a college flat? Do you really need a licensed individual to tell you that a freakin velvet painting of Elvis over the fireplace mantle is not exactly “high art?”

Many of the cases result from licensed designers turning in violators. They do not like it when just any Tom, Dick or Harriet claims to be an interior designer.

Some cases involve individuals, stereotypical “soccer moms” who decided they had a good eye or who did it in other states. Often they get off with a warning after promising to stop using the title.

Yet even established businesses get in trouble. You can tell your office-supply store, for example, that you want to buy X number of desks. But if you ask for help laying out your office space, that company had better be licensed.

I really don’t get this at all! Sounds like some snotty people who get pissed because they are losing out on charging ridiculously large sums of money to tell you that plaid couches with plastic covers are an interior faux pas and green pleather recliners don’t exactly complement that couch – or any couch – for that matter!

It turns out that interior design is a raging controversy across the nation. The industry association, the American Society of Interior Design, pushes for regulation. Office-furniture makers, distributors and sellers typically fight it.

Florida is one of only a few states that regulate it fully. Some states have rejected the idea. There was an effort in our Legislature last year to cancel that law firm’s contract, but it was killed, largely because of the opposition of licensed designers.

By the way, the stated justification is public safety. One claim is that if amateurs are placing desks and such willy-nilly, it could be harder to get out in an emergency. Proper design complies with all building and safety codes.

So – I should hire a “licensed interior designer” to tell me I shouldn’t put a desk in front of an emergency exit? This is a scam at all levels – by states who want to make money and by hoity toity snobs who think they know better than you.  This is a freakin joke!  Here’s that website for the American Society of Interior Design.

That has got to be the stupidest thing I have seen in a very long time! Check this out – Sustainable Design!  Oh – my – freakin – God! GREEN interior design?  How ridiculous is that?  We’re supposed to pay someone to make our interior home “green” and “sustainable” by using what?  This goes back to that stupid green logo thing.  They just pick out furnishings and accessories made by “green” manufacturers – but – that doesn’t mean that your freakin home is “green” or “sustainable.”  It just means that you just paid an exorbitant amount to an idiot to research “green” furniture manufacturers and make those manufacturers money…and…those “green” manufacturers get to use the logo if they buy carbon offsets – but – that doesn’t mean that they’ve actually changed their production process or are using “green” materials.  What a scam!

No – it’s not a slow news day – It’s just I hate it when the states impliment ridiculous laws based on pressure from obscure and idiotic groups.  What idiot would pay to go to a school just to make sure they know the difference between beer can sculpures and Michelango?  Why the hell should any states even consider making such a ridiculous law that says you have to be licensed to decorate your home?  Why should we the people have to put up with stupid shit like this?  This is just another great example of laws gone amok if you ask me!
