Mmm....Mmmm...Mmmm...George W. Bush....Mmmm...Mmmm....Mmmm....

mmm, mmm, mmm....George W. Bush...mmm, mmm, mmm!  He said that we must all pitch in so the terrorist just cannot win...mmm, mmm, mmm.  George W. Bush.  He said we all should be brave don't fear the lame,  get back on the plane...mmm, mmm, mmm.  George W. Bush.

HA!!  If I had seen recordings of school children singing this tribute I would have been upset.  If you're a liberal and these words offend you and you profess NOT to be a hypocrite, then you must be upset that liberal school teachers are attempting to indoctrinate our children. 

Don't get me wrong, respect for the OFFICE of the President should be taught in schools.  But political opinion has no room in our classrooms.  I find it interesting that when the sitting president was a republican schools across the country were teaching that students should be skeptical of government.  Now that it's a democrat we're teaching that we should respect, honor, and support the government.  If my history lessons from HS serve me correctly, this country was founded by men who were pretty skeptical and critical of government.  WTF?! 

Is Acorn Guilty of Racism?

With the entire political world throwing around the racist term so loosely lately, I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon. ACORN could be considered a racist organization based on its actions toward employees. In light of the outrageous undercover video that has been obtained outlining a pattern of behavior in assisting clients in setting up tax havens, child sex operations, and other illegal behavior ACORN has fired 3 of its black employees and has provided no defense for the black perpetrators.


However, yesterday a fourth ACORN office was busted! This time clear across the country in San Bernardino, CA and the ACORN rep was not a black lady. She was white. I was curious to see how ACORN would handle this one, so you can imagine my surprise when they immediately jumped to her defense by allowing her to say, in essence “oh, I knew it was a joke, so I was playing along with it.” So ACORN officials have jumped on that train too by agreeing that the actors/filmmakers were bad actors and not believable therefore it should be okay for their employee to play along as though it were all a game.



Then there’s the other issue of race being that the girls said to be imported were from El Salvador. I wonder if the ACORN employees guilty of this craziness would have stopped dead in their tracks had the pimp and prostitute claimed to be importing young African children!


If Maureen Dowd can come out and cry “racism” based on very loosely circumstantial evidence against Joe Wilson, can’t we also say that ACORN was racist by applying a different judgment to its white employee than to its black employees? Why was the white lady not fired as quickly as the white folks?


WTF?!

Stimulus Money...Where's the Jobs?!

I commute to work every day along C470 on the south side of Denver, CO and see these signs posted everywhere about how "this project is paid for" by stimulus money.  But you know what?  There isn't a worker in sight!  They did work on the road for two weekends, and messed it up.  It's now worse than it was in the past.  When I drive over these sections I feel like the front end of my car is going to fall off! 

So my WTF moment today is, where are the jobs that were supposed to be provided by stimulus funds?  I see the "thank you" signs, but no workers. 

"They're Shuttin' Detroit Down...." And Sendin' the Money to CHINA!

From Reuters:

"Vehicles made at the venture will carry the FAW brand and will focus on supplying the China market, but they could be exported under a GM brand through the Detroit automaker's global network in the future, Wale said."

That's right, you read it correctly.  Government Motors (G.M.) has announced a plan to invest $293 Million into foreign manufacturing of light duty commercial trucks similar to other 1/2 ton and lighter trucks already being produced by GMC and Chevrolet.  So you don't need to look too far into this to see the possible unintended consequences.  Here's our WTF take on this:

1.  US Taxpayers loan GM a boatload of dollars to save them from Bankruptcy

2.  GM lays off thousands of US workers as they cut production in US facilities

3.  GM sends $293 Million to China workers to produce light duty trucks for the Chinese market

Well, the problem is that GM has hinted at the possibility and most likely their intentions of exporting the trucks under the GM brand into the U.S.  The end result would be outsourced auto manufacturing jobs to China!  WTF?!
