Friday B-Movie Pick: Galaxy Quest

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Galaxy Quest

A must for Star Trek fans. A cutting parady done with a lotta love. It pokes fun at the show, the cast and the fans.
It’s this week’s pick because I saw the new Star Trek film last night. Yes, I liked it. It grabbed you quick and didn’t let go. The casting was top notch and the actors clearly were paying homage to the original cast.

A good sign of were Obama’s loyalities lie

Friday, May 8th, 2009

By way of Michelle Malkin, Philip Klein at the American Spectator points out a very telling item in the very small number of actual budget cuts our Dear Leader has made.

…buried in the budget documents released by the White House today is a 9 percent cut in the unit of the Department of Labor that is in charge of regulating unions.
Under the leadership of Elaine Chao during the Bush administration, the Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards took its job of policing unions seriously. Its actions led to 929 convictions of corrupt union officials and to the recovery of more than $93 million on behalf of union members. Yet the Obama administration has proposed slashing its budget from $45 million in 2009 to $41 million in 2010, citing an insufficient “workload” for the office.
Instead of using the money to make sure unions play by the rules, the Obama administration proposes shifting resources to the department’s Wage and Hour Division, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — all areas of the agency focused on regulating businesses.

What’s clear here is that this is another political payback for massive campaign donations to the democrat party and BHO.
Given more tax payer money for “regulation” of business by the federal government is just another anti-economy bonus for Team Lightbringer.

What is Gov Patrick thinking?

What is it with the Peoples Commonwealth and bat shit crazy democrat governors?
First it was that certifiable idiot Michael Dukakis, who decided that letting convicted murders out on furlough so they could rape and kill innocent people while still technically serving their sentence for another murder.

Now we have our Dear Leader‘s good buddy democrat governor Deval Patrick, who while cutting state aid to towns and cities, resulting in pink slips for police, fire fighters & teachers, is spending state taxpayer dollars on free cars for people on welfare.

Really, I can’t make this shit up. Not just free cars, but free insurance, repairs and AAA membership. The taxpayers are even paying the inspection fees and excise tax for these cars.

House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading) nails it. “I just don’t see this as a core function of government.” One small issue with Mr. Jone’s statement, take out the word “core.”

This is just a waste of taxpayer money, plain and simple.
