What's Better For Patriots?
A high-ranking, hard-faced IRS official, Lois Lerner, comes to the House Committee On Oversight And Government Reform and makes a statement and then tells her side of the story. When questioned, she pulls out the Fifth Amendment. Too late! More incompetence and we-are- special attitudes from the demonic-crats. Surely, this won't be the end of it. Surely, Chairman Issa will get her back.

What's Better With Movies?
At last, something that is beyond money in addition to being something everyone, rich to poor, can have. Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Last Stand" said it when he was offered $10 million to help the fugitive head of a Mexican drug cartel cross the border. To the $10 million offer, Arnold replied, "It's not worth my honor."
"Last Stand" was also very valuable in showing the power of the drug cartels as they make inroads into America. With almost unlimited funds, there was nothing the drug cartel could not buy until it ran into a sheriff of honor at the Arizona-Mexico border. However, there's only one Arnold. Besides, as the movie made clear, the fugitive could have taken a plane or heliocopter back to Mexico after escaping from the DEA in a firefight the DEA had no chance of winning. The fugitive cartel head only tried to drive a souped-up Corvette to Mexico as a show of arrogance and contempt.
The meta-message of the video was that America will be completely vulnerable to whatever the drug cartels want to do in America if they want to spend the money to get it done. The currency of most men and women is not honor but money. Like Israel with Iran's nuclear bomb, America needs to make a pre-emptive strike against the cartels by legalizing drugs and thus, putting the cartels out of business. Like Israel with Iran's bomb, before it becomes irrevocable.

What's Worse? Another Stimulus!
Mr. Wolf of the Rand Corporation says another stimulus will be worse for the following reasons: 1. When government engages in spending money that is borrowedc, businesses and people naturally think that borrowing means higher taxes are coming next. They decide to save some money if they can for the taxes. No mystery there excepted for Liberals blinded by their faith in growing government. American businesses have put away $2 trillion. American people have increased their savings rate somewhat and decreased their household spending a lilttle, about 8 per cent. Thus, instead of stimulating the economy, businesses and people have responded to the stimulus by pulling money out of the economy. 2. When the government passed the stimulus, many laws, rules, and regulations came with it. These things put a brake on spending as people try to figure what they are all about and how damaging they are to business. 3. Americans are now spending more abroad by an increase of $500 billion over what they spent out of country in 2007. Other countries simply look better when America assumes more debt and increases laws, rules, and regulations on business.
------------------------------------------------------------------------What's Worse The Readers' Digest just completed a poll of the top 100 most trusted people. Tom Hanks was number one. Does anyone know anything about Tom Hanks besides his roles in movies? What's to trust about actors? They look, talk, and move according to instructions. The bad news for Obama is that he placed number 65 in most trusted people.

"The current levels of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere, approaching 400 parts per million, are low by the standards of geological and plant evolutionary history. Levels were 3,000 parts per million (ppm) or more, until the Paleogene Period (beginning about 65 million years ago)."
