With “Air America” resting eternally in the recycle bin of unwanted ideas, a call for rebirth has arisen from the stink pile.

Liberal media has been unable to compete with Conservative media outlets. All liberal media sources have taken a rigorous whipping by the American people and replaced by Fox, Drudge, NewsMax, and Rush.

So, what can the libs do to compete? hmmmm, how about:

PBS, NPR Stations Get $10M Infusion for Local News direct from tax payers pockets. And to even things out these new “News Stations” will be initially targeting the Southwest, the Plains states, the upper Midwest, upstate New York and central Florida. (did they miss any swing states?)

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting which is a nonprofit organization created and funded by Congress, is the ultimate in media bias and cannot survive broadcasting it’s stench without reaching into our pockets to fund it.

NPR and PBS stations in each region will collaborate on covering key issues, including immigration, agribusiness, the economy and health care.

To pay for the changes, the legislation includes more than $400 billion in higher taxes over a decade, roughly half of it from a new Medicare payroll tax on individuals with incomes over $200,000 and couples over $250,000. A new excise tax on high-cost insurance policies was significantly scaled back in deference to complaints from organized labor.

In addition, the bills cut more than $500 billion from planned payments to hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and other providers that treat Medicare patients. An estimated $200 billion would reduce planned subsidies to insurance companies that offer a private alternative to traditional Medicare.

The insurance industry warned that seniors would face sharply higher premiums as a result, and the Congressional Budget Office said many would return to traditional Medicare as a result.

The subsidies are higher than those for seniors on traditional Medicare, a difference that critics complain is wasteful, but insurance industry officials argue goes into expanded benefits.

The bill requires insurers to charge people with pre-existing conditions the same as everyone else, and the only reason for people not to play the system (dropping their insurance until they get sick and the insurer has to take them) is because the law requires them to buy insurance or pay a fine. For many people, the fine will be a cheap price to avoid premiums that could run around $8,000 a year for a family of four. The effect of the legislation could be to cause the number of healthy people with insurance to fall dramatically — and for premiums to rise, which would cause more people to drop their insurance and premiums will rise, and even less people will be insured…
And so it goes.

Oh, have I thanked you lately for the change you brought to me?
Don’t hold your breath…

This may be the understatement of the new decade. Christmas incident was “screw up” – Obama said

Oh, a “screw up”…
Heck , at least it wasn’t serious. 
Nice work Mr President…

Come to think of it, the big “screw up” happened last November and will continue to baffle us for another 2 1/2 years.

“incident”? An incident is when a waiter spills water on your lap, not what you call a terrorist attack that failed only because of the terrorist’s incompetence!

Furthermore:

From the “Jeff Ring” urban dictionary.

A “screw up” is…
when you leave the dog food in the shopping cart.
when you bring a pitching wedge into the sand trap.
when you lock your keys in the car.
when your wife doesn’t put the seat back up when she is done.
when you buy 2% instead of whole milk.
when you leave your phone on during a meeting.
when you get in an elevator that is going down, and you want to go up.
when your puppy pees on the floor because you didn’t bring him out.

A “screw up” is not…
when the president bows to everyone.
when you call your wife your girl friend’s name.
when you run a red light and hit someone.
when an Al-Quada trained terrorist on a watch list boards a plane with no luggage, carrying a bomb, without a passport, attempts to detonate the bomb… and by shear incompetence on his part… burns his private area instead of killing 300 people.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who wanted this change.

Thanks a bunch and enjoy the flight.

Seems like the Democrats have the 60 votes to ram health care up our butts. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who voted this money from my pockets by electing these criminals. Thanks a bunch.

The health care bill would create a new stream of government subsidies to help people buy health insurance, largely through private plans. The subsidies would be available to those buying coverage through a new insurance supermarket called an exchange.

How would these subsidies be paid for? You and I will pay for them, silly!

Isn’t America great? Land of the free and the home of the screwed.

Before you vote again pick up a copy the the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution and brush up on proper voting techniques.

Mr. President,
A fix for $40 million.

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ‘s economy.  Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.  Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.  Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR.  Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…
Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

And quite frankly… a value at twice the price!

So, what could you do with $700 Bbbbbbbbbbillion to stimulate things?

Let’s discuss it! The Modern Constitutionalist.com

A few upsetting facts:

• Unemployment is hovering around 10% of our population.

• 

  Jerry

• Iran and North Korea are threatening the world (yup, us also).

• Government takeover of our health care system (the good, bad, and the ugly).

• The war in Afghanistan…

• Tax payer funded bailouts…

• Redistribution of wealth…

• New taxes fees on middle class households.

• What the heck is a czar?

• Jerry (my dog) pee’d on my rug.

What would you do to address these problems?

A. Go to Copenhagen and press flesh for the Olympics to be held in your wife’s hometown that will inevitably cost tax payers  (yup, you and me) BILLIONS?

B. Get off your butt and bring the dog out before #2 ends up on the floor also…

I should have taken Jerry out.   ) :

One of the members at the Forum posted this. LOL

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can
now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my
horse.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’
profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the
government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will
do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as
long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I
trust that the bad guys will stop what they’re doing
because they now think we’re good people.

I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible
to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need
to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who
can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that
the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I
don’t start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about the
slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all
death row inmates alive.

I voted Democrat because I believe that business
should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They
need to break even and give the rest away to the government
for redistribution as THEY see fit..

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need
to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some
fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the
voters.

I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted
up my rectum that it is unlikely that I’ll ever have
another point of view.
