It’s been known for a while that green-energy is suspect and has serious issues. Yet our fearless leader has shoved more money at failed projects that most could comprehend. If this man ran a venture capitalist firm his clients would have left long ago because he was driving them to be broke.

Total waste? $8.108 Billion dollars. Yes that’s billion with a B. People keep insisting that to fix the budget problem we need to make massive cuts to the big pieces of the pie. What people don’t seem to understand is that the biggest pieces are all the small tiny pieces added together.
Look at all that money that’s been wasted. Debt that has now been laid upon our children and working class. For what? So that some donors to the Obama administration can go buy a new vacation house? So that some leftist can feel good about his view on the environment and forcing others to pay for his moral views?
Seriously, why is anyone even thinking about continuing to vote for a man who so willingly and blatantly has been robbing the American public blind. Not only is he robbing them but selling your children into slavery. There is no such thing as a free lunch yet everyone seems to think they’re getting one.
That stimulus so heavily lobbied for has $80 billion in politically tied energy projects. Yet we see how those projects actually worked, not to mention how it actually delayed existing projects. Over 1900 investigations have begun to look into waste, further costs to the American tax payer.
To put this into even greater perspective, 10% of the funding for energy projects provided by the stimulus is nothing but waste. That’s to a cost $25.82 per every man, woman and child, just in waste. If you just count the tax payers, it’s an extra $70.81 in cost. If you don’t believe me, do the math yourself. Here’s where I got the numbers for population and taxpayers. To take it further we have another 6 trillion in debt overall, that comes out to be another $51,000 dollars for every man, woman, and child. The overall debt burden in this country is enough for most people to buy a house, again, every man, woman, and child, even babies.
Lets look at the issue in another way focusing on spending during 2012 overall:
Joe also put it really well a while ago before we ended up even further in this hole:
Now that has brought the spending problem into a better perspective, let me ask, why is the out of control spending and economy not at the fore front of the presidential race? I hope all of you who continue to not see a problem with this reckless spending and endless growth of government are happy selling your soul and children’s soul into slavery. Because you honestly have no business writing checks your ass can’t cash and putting your kids name or my name on it. Period.

How bad is it? It’s really bad. So bad this one’s gonna be left to speak for itself. This one’s in the count most definitely because of the following:

I got an email this afternoon from Stephanie at the NRA, who I had the pleasure of meeting at GBR. The NRA has created two ads geared towards this election, specifically in-light of recent statements made by Obama during the debate as well as on his website.
This is serious folks and the fact that Heller hinged on one vote in the Supreme Court is serious. That man wants nothing more than to disarm the American public at this point. Many look at Romney and say he’s a gun banner just the same as Obama. Except when you start really digging past the myths to the truth, that’s not entirely true.
Roberta was right, we are not going to reverse the slope. We can slow it down though, and even more than that, we need to protect the tools necessary to survive when the time comes we finally discover the edge of the fiscal cliff, more specifically the bottom.
The bottom line is we must protect our natural rights from any who would assault them. Think long and hard before you vote this year. I am one who always wants to vote what I feel is right, however sometimes you must make a tactical decision to cede ground in one place to take ground in another.

Why I wanted to save all those parts kits from my EE lab classes. What parts kits am I talking about exactly? These, including the others I got from friends who didn’t want them:
You see, I had this ability to know I was going to need them in the future for some sort of awesome project. Well Joe has been trying to get a project done to gather some info and I finally just said send me the schematic and I’ll build it. Amazingly when I saw the schematic it all became obvious. I saw what was being done and how it worked and figured out values that I could actually achieve. Spent some time at Radio Shack tonight and picked up parts and now every thing is in a nice clean box.
At some point I may rebuilt it to use the extra connector that is available for power, currently it is using a 9V battery on the inside. Currently this device is already on battery number two. I missed a soldier bridge and didn’t ohm it before hooking it up. Once I cleaned the bridge I did a full functional test with my ohm meter and it worked exactly as intended.
Now you may be wondering what exactly this little box is for. I will give you a hint otherwise you’ll have to wait for the video. The first three terminal blocks will have current flowing through them. The silver BNC connector on the right is for telemetry. Remember that this box is supplying the current. I would give you a schematic but it would become obvious. Those who already know, don’t spill the beans. You might also consider who the customer is on this one for an idea of what we’re doing.
I will say off on the side I have 100ft of speaker wire and another 25 feet of coax cable. Now I just need to put some labels on it and we’ll be done.
I will say when the Radio Shack guy asked me what I was building, I made sure to pay first. The reception as it usually is though was, “Awesome, take video and send it to me.”

For well more than one of every three Americans, April 15th isn’t tax payment day, it’s payday from Uncle Sam.
Stephen Moore – Who’s the Fairest of Them All?
October 9th, 2012
[It is deeply disturbing that 40% of income earners didn’t pay income taxes but instead received payments. I keep hearing people use the term “fair share” and well as I used all so often lately:
What is fair about one group of people paying out taxes while another group collects a part of them for themselves? Fair would be a flat tax, hell a flat income tax would even be a better start than what we have now. -B]

So the security guard screwed up and called police when he really didn’t need to. However this is how the cops behaved upon showing up:
To put the icing on the cake. Here is how the department has responded to the behavior of the officers.
Yup, business as usual for our anointed overlords. When they say “To Protect and Serve” they really just are leaving off the hidden word at the end, “Themselves.”

So for some reason the ESS video didn’t pop up in my subscription listing. Well volume 2 went up this morning and I have to thank Joe for that reminder.
Now it is worth noting that the pink bunny, while it survived Anette and Shelly’s wrath, it didn’t survive overall. The wife couldn’t save the leg so my mother-in-law put it out of its misery.
The detailed post can be seen here illustrating our efforts to save the bunny.
