Reading Beyond the Lines
Pundits are now saying that Barack Hussein Obama is merely a passenger on the Ship of State.
I agree, but given he is the last to know anything, he must be riding on the ‘poop’ deck.
………………………………..............
It is being reported that Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulluh is brain dead. Well doesn’t that put him in league with anyone who buys oil from him, while he is financing the Jihad against the West in general and America in particular?
………………………………..............
The media is already lamenting the loss of American lives in Syria. Yes, I said Syria, where a civil war has been going on for months.
Memo to Americans in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia or anywhere else radical Islam has control: Get the Hell out or we will be lamenting you. Correction, they will be lamenting you. I have already written you off as a hopeless Imbecile.
………………………………....................
Also being reported: That during that “closed door, off the record” meeting between, what’s left of the media, and Eric Holder, the AG told attendees that he wasn’t going to spy on them “anymore”.
On the other hand, he isn’t going to spy on them any less either.
………………………………..........................
Rand Paul recently announced that, “The Republican Party needs to get ‘Bigger‘”.
Why hell Randy, if you want the Party to get bigger kick out the Isle Crossing, Concensus Building, Two Timing, Double Crossing RINOs that infest the Party and about 30 million Conservatives and Libertarians would flock to the Party.
………………………………..........................
Professor Christopher Swindell has stated, “What we need is a Civil War to kill off the NRA”.
Well, if you’re gonna start a war with someone, you might NOT want to pick one with an army with over 100 million guns.

Much more news you can use
Seems that a woman calling 911, because she was about to be sexually assaulted, was told that cops were NOT coming because of budget cuts.
Well, the rest were probably going door to door confiscating guns.
………………………………..................
It’s tough on bikers at the Atlantic Beach Bikefest. Six motorcyclists have been killed over a four day span. The most often heard phrases have been: “Hey watch this” and “I bet you a beer, you can‘t…..”.
………………………………..................
Texas is the first state to demand drug tests to qualify for unemployment insurance. Well duh, Texas is also the first state to recognize that if you’re stoned you ain’t out looking for work.
Doesn’t it beg the question: How smart do you have to be to be a state?
…………………………….................
Son of former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, George P. Bush has taken the his first political steps. He is running for a spot as a Texas Land Commissioner.
I take that back, his first political step will be to change his last name.
………………………………................
In related news, Joe Biden is carving out his own political identity. He is now riding shotgun in the clown car.
………………………………............................
What I learned today, Memorial Day: I learned that Marco Rubio has turned into the RINO we all hoped he wasn’t. I learned that Donald Trump has thrown away another million dollars, getting his name in the news, as another soon to be failed presidential candidate. I learned that John McCain snuck over the Syrian border to suck up to the Muslim Brotherhood and I learned that I can buy a ‘97 Cadillac Eldorado with 200,000 miles, on Craigslist for $2000 dollars. Well that makes it a Quadfecta, four idiots all in the same day.

More News You can Use
News You Can Use
We are being told that the economy is improving. Progressives say it’s because Obama’s policies are working. Conservatives know it’s in spite of Obama’s policies.
Capitalism will always find a way around a train-wreck. And this time they are looking to go around a train-wreck, an earthquake, a forest fire, an erupting volcano and a tidal wave, all at the same time.
..............................................................................
They tell us the stock market is at an all-time high. Righto, and so is the art world, super yachts and collector cars. They’re the only things left to invest your money in.
...............................................................................
We are constantly reminded that man shares 98% of his DNA with chimpanzees. But members of Congress continue to remind us that man also shares 10% of his DNA with turnips.
...................................................................................
A recent study reveals that today’s society has a 10% lower IQ than those in Victorian times.
I’ll take that one step further. With today’s technology (Ipads, Iphones, Blackberries, etc) hundreds of millions can access the worlds libraries. While you would think it makes it possible to be the smartest people ever. Unfortunately, with all this access and opportunity we now have some of the dumbest people in history voting.
.........................................................................................
With all the scandals looming over this Administration, (illegal wiretaps, lying about the murders of 4 Americans in Bengazi, Fast and Furious gun running and the IRS targeting Conservatives for harassment) it make one wonder why ANY private citizen should obey ANY laws, until our leaders begin obeying them.

Peeing Against the Tide
With apologies, the Dumbplumber has been negligent in posting to his blog. You see, he has been busy investigating, documenting and exposing a low level government bureaucrat, who is systematically plundering and squandering tax and ratepayer money. And he is trying to get it back. You would think this would be easy….Right?
Wrong. No matter how blatant the evidence (meeting minutes), no matter how damning (clear and blatant disregard for the law), no matter how long the offense (going on eight years), no matter how big the loss (well over $1 million dollars), there seems to be little appetite to STOP the poorly concealed, incompetent bureaucrat from continuing the practice.
If these acts were by an individual, they would be prosecuted as a continuing criminal enterprise. If it were by a group of individuals, it would be pursued under the RICO (Racketeer, Influence, Corrupt Organization) Act. But since it is a micro-State agency (2 employees), it is viewed as a force to be reckoned with. Indeed, attempts by at least one of the ‘governed’ to make the agency do its job has led to tens of thousands in extra-ordinary expenses, but with no results. Now THAT is your government at its worst!
Not only has the offending agency been plundering their flock for years, they do so without producing one page of required, mandated reporting for most of them. And yet they demand their dues the same time every year without shame of offense. You would think once you made these facts available to the injured cities, districts and the media, there would be a quick response with appropriate outrage and zeal for an end to the fleecing. You would be wrong again!
After more than 3 months of presenting this theft of public money to the highest losers among the offended, I am awaiting a legal declaration by the lawyers of the victims to decide if the specific State Codes are indeed being violated. Nevermind that an Eighth grader could figure it out in about 5 minutes.
So, as we speak, the offending bureaucrat is receiving a six figure salary and benefit package, under the myopic gaze of those tasked with ending the theft.
Yes, if you’re going to go into the fraud business, there is no better place than the government sanctioned and protected kind of fraud. We are so Screwed.

Ramblings
If any of you have been reading the news lately, you probably know that the RINO GOP is going the ‘Full Weeny’. They are ‘re-branding’ themselves to try an attract the Hispanic--Tran-sexual--Gay--Lesbian--functioning idiot--cross-dressing--Mad-as-Hell--taxi driver vote. Yessir, nothing quite says Grand Old Party like a Hippie bus full of buzzed-out, tattooed laden, smelly, tofu eating, dope smoking, flower wearing losers on their way to the voting booth.
Meanwhile, the MSM are touting the Republican’s efforts as a step into the 21st Century. Yeah, like equating Conservatism with unlimited spending, unending welfare and unemployment, then the inevitable disability claim from Hell, before dropping all pretense of following the Constitution, which clearly states that the federal government shall control all money, food, jobs, healthcare, transportation, firearms, energy, water, and most of all your attitude. In other words….“the beatings will continue until morale improves”.
Even Fox News is waffling on the seriousness of our plight. Apparently content to just report the oncoming train wreck than actually describing what is causing it. This leaves Glenn Beck, who has launched a network almost completely committed to telling the truth about what is going on. And to keep his moderates awake, he salt and peppers the schedule with incredible segments on history, inspiration and capitalism. He has even started his own ‘Dream Labs’ where entrepreneurs develop ideas into a working business. Way cool.

A recent headline reads, “Republicans plan to spend $10 million on outreach”.
My headline would read…TeaParty and Libertarians are spending $300 million on ammo”. Video at ll.

Loving Dead Presidents
It is being reported that Hugo Chavez has amassed over $2 billion, in personal wealth, during his reign as Venezuela’s president.
It was also reported that deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak had plundered over $500 billion during his time in office.
Of course we shouldn’t forget our old buddy Saddam Hussein of Iraq, whose wealth was reported at several billion, most of which was amassed from skimming oil sales and black market imports of banned goods.
However, many of us old crusters can’t forget Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, who died in office with more than $60 billion in Swiss banks, taken from us because the only exports from Manila, besides pain and suffering is prostitutes.
And we should not forget old pineapple face, Manuel Noriega from Panama. He couldn’t steal enough from U.S. aid, so he invested heavily in the cocaine shipping business, which made him hundreds of millions. His commissary account in federal prison must be huge.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to cram taxpayer dollars into Muslim Brotherhood gangs, posing as freedom fighters. No telling how much of that is finding its way into terrorist coffers and unholy retirement funds for jihad leaders.
Nope if you can’t make it in an honest living, you might try moving to some third world dump and get on the U.S. Government dole. No strings, no audits, no supervision, no kidding.
Life is good, when you’re a corrupt dictator, receiving our aid and your country’s average annual income is $90 bucks.

Sequestration What?
Well the Sequester is here. So?
All the media is abuzz about the ‘fabricated’ catastrophes that lay ahead because the Congress and the President have failed to come to terms with out-of-control spending. And to hear the president tell it, the planes will fall from the sky, babies will starve in their mother’s arms, schools will close and Congress and the President will not get their annual pay raises…..well, er, maybe not the last one.
But up here in what we refer to as, “The Real Northern California”, things are pretty much as they’ve always been. In fact, on a day-to-day basis, you can’t tell the difference of today from yesterday or this day last week or last month.
For instance:
They tell us the traffic lights will cease to work. Well, Fall River Mills doesn’t have any traffic lights and damned few stop signs either.
They say airport security will slow the boarding of airplanes. Ha, there is no security other than an eight foot cyclone fence and a gate that is never locked.
They say police will be slow to respond to 911 calls. Hell, it takes from 45 minutes to 4 hours to get an officer here now. How much slower can it get. In fact, if your call is to report a burglary, you have to travel 25 miles to file a report, if and when the station is open.
They say fire departments will be slow to respond. Yeah well, our department is all volunteer already and they get there a hell-of-a-lot faster than the sheriffs. Besides, if your double wide is on fire, after the first five minutes it doesn’t make much difference.
The mail will be delayed. Oh sure, they have never delivered on Saturdays, since I moved here in '86 and most of the mail is just junk anyway.
And the weakest of all threats, “The Forest Service will be cut back and face some furloughs”. Well, since all they do is drive around in new pickup trucks, carrying only clipboards, I guess counting a few less trees everyday won’t set us back much, since revenue from timber disappeared almost 20 years ago.
Yessir, that whole Sequestration thingy upsetting the president and his media goons doesn’t mean much up here. Dumbplumber
