On a conference call with Medicare today, they said that if Medicare was a country, it would have the third largest economy in the world, based on current expenditures. Fraud runs $29B per year. Do you really think it will last another ten years? ~Bob.
Axis Of Evil Loses Murderous Dear Leader Kim Jong Il
Excerpt: Dear Leader's cognac bill was estimated at $500,000 a month. Despite one of the longest and costliest emergency international food relief efforts in history, North Korea 's artificial famine has had a proportionately higher death toll than any in history — worse even than Stalin's Russia or Mao's China China and Russia South Korea
Bradley Manning case: Investigators show evidence of WikiLeaks link, Assange chats
Excerpt: Prosecutors presented new evidence Monday that appears to link Pfc. Bradley Manning to a massive leak of government material to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, including the existence of computer chat logs between Manning and WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange discussing the exchange of government information. At a pretrial hearing, which is scheduled to continue in a military courtroom at Fort Meade this week, a government witness on Monday described a memory card he said belonged to Manning and contained nearly 500,000 field reports from Iraq and Afghanistan
Coming War Threat: Terrorists Developing a Safe Haven in Egypt to Attack Israel
Excerpt: Governments and political analysts are supposed to examine likely problems in order that they can be evaded or minimized. The time to be alarmed is not when problems become visible but when governments refuse to recognize their existence. Western regimes and analysts are generally taking a best-possible-case view on Egypt

A very interesting article. Most Americans have no clue about the long term implications...—GBH. Excerpt: But democracy delivered a rude shock. In the first round of voting, over 60 percent of all Egyptians cast their ballots for either the Muslim Brotherhood or the radical Islamist Nour Party of the Salafis. In the second round last week, 75 percent voted Islamist. … While all the world has heard of the atrocity against Muslims in Srebrenica, that world ignores the desecration and destruction of Orthodox churches and cathedrals in Kosovo and the ethnic cleansing of Serbs by the Muslim Albanians that President Clinton brought to power.

Senators, Do Your Job and Get to Work
Excerpt: On the front page of the White House's website, a clock slowly ticks away, second by second, counting down to the day, hour, minute, and second that the nation's payroll tax "holiday" expires and the American people get socked right where it counts -- in the pocket book. And just next to that clock is a message laying the blame squarely on the House of Representatives. But today the real culprit in this debacle is the U.S. Senate which, right now, is home for the holidays already, celebrating with family while Washington
Worth Reading : China
Excerpt: Republicans and Democrats, liberals as well as conservatives, have bought into anti-Chinese trade demagoguery. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that tariffs against China are a "key part of our 'Make It in America U.S. gross domestic product, and of that, 2.5% came from China

I’m for Newt- and the Tea Party by John Ransom
Excerpt: While the Democrats made a mistake in believing that Barack Obama was the next JFK, Republicans make the mistake of always looking for the next Reagan. Ronald Reagan is not here to save us. Sarah Palin will not save us. It won’t be Mike Huckabee or any of the other wanna-bes who have figured out how to monetize their narrow popularity into fat TV and radio gigs but could never win the GOP nomination.
Muslim baby was at risk of "honour killing"
The Religion of Peace, stamping out dishonor one baby at a time. ~Bob. Excerpt: A baby at risk of becoming the victim of an "honour killing" because she was born as the result of her unmarried Muslim mother's secret affair must be adopted to keep her safe, the Court of Appeal ruled on Wednesday.

Fair Is a Four Letter Word
Excerpt: Barack Obama’s stated mission is to close the “fairness gap” between the power-haves and the power have-nots. And, in taking up the fight to “restore fairness” as he put it, Barack Obama has joined a long line of leaders in human history who have tried to “restore fairness” in a world that is unfair by design. So far – under the names of fairness, egalitarianism, socialism, and Communism – efforts to close the “fairness gap” between power-haves and power have-nots have killed more people than any other idea in human history: more than 100 million dead and counting.

By all mean shoot rioters but... by James Delingpole, Telegraph UK
Excerpt: It was pegged to the new report suggesting that police should be allowed to use baton rounds, water cannon, even live bullets against rioters endangering life and property. Professor Gus's line, astonishingly, is that this was bad because it might "escalate" tension – especially since so many kids these days carried guns and might be tempted to shoot back. "Eh?" I said. "You're saying Gus that the reason police shouldn't use guns is because the bad guys already have guns? Sounds like a counsel of despair to me."
Obama Campaign Issues Creepy Convert-Your-Relatives-to-the-Cause Video
Forwarded email comment: John on December 21, 2011 at 9:11 am. Pat Dollard posted this. It’s an official Barack Obama campaign ad for 2012. Having asked supporters to shove their donations to Obama’s reelection in their relatives faces last week, they’re now asking fans to convert those same people through persistent political harangues at family gatherings. If any of your relatives turn up at Christmas dinner demanding to know why you’re not voting for Barack Obama, ask them this question: Did your cult leader instruct you to do this on his behalf. If they say yes, point out how creepy this is. And if they say no, show them this video and then point out how creepy it is. Seriously, it’s one thing to ask for people’s vote. It’s something else to put out a video instructing people to badger their relatives into voting for you also. I guess this is what you get when you elect a community organizer.
Climate Crackdown - by Donna Laframboise, Financial Post
Excerpt: In recent days I’ve been receiving calls and emails asking what the U.S. Justice Department wants with me. In fact, there has been a misunderstanding. I write a blog about climate-change dogma that has a similar Web address to a blogger in the United States

Excerpt: The Sun reports that the 27-year-old, who is third in line to the British throne, told guests at “A Night of Heroes: The Sun Military Awards” on Monday night that he would likely return in 2012 – almost four years after his previous secret mission was cut short when details leaked. “I can’t wait to get out there,” the newspaper quoted Harry as saying.

University Mum on Radical Chaplain
Excerpt: Northeastern University isn't commenting about concerns regarding its Muslim chaplain, despite his recorded statements praising an attempted attack on American forces in Afghanistan as "brave" and his earlier call for Muslims to "grab on to the gun and the sword" to fight injustice. On Monday, the Investigative Project on Terrorism reported on remarks Abdullah Faaruuq made during a Dec. 8 fundraiser for Aafia Siddiqui, also known as "Lady al-Qaida." Siddiqui, an MIT-educated neuroscientist, was arrested by Afghan officials in 2008, who found notes about mass casualty attacks in her possession. During questioning by U.S.
Matt Damon Blasts Obama: 'We Would Have Been Better Off With A One-Term President With Balls'
Excerpt: “I’ve talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level,” says Damon. “One of them said to me, ‘Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician.’” Damon then gets even more direct with his own criticism. “You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of this country, much better,” argues the We Bought a Zoo star.

Rachel Maddow, Jacob Weisberg and the Religion of Liberalism
Excerpt: What is so sad and awful about this is that liberalism, like other extreme religious movements, tends to eradicate the human conscience. One of my favorite religious stories involves Cardinal Newman, one of the great converts to Catholicism. Cardinal Newman was once asked to offer a toast to the pope. He raised his glass and said, “To conscience first, the pope second.”
Atheist Group Threatens to Sue if Michigan City
Excerpt: Giving the Grinch a run for his money this year, an attorney — acting on behalf of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) and local atheist complainant Douglas Marshall — has sent a letter to the mayor of Warren, Mich., threatening legal action against the city unless the mayor allows an “equal time” anti-religion sign next to a nativity scene in the city hall lobby. The reason? Marshall

The Torch Has Been Passed to a New Generation by Mark Steyn
Excerpt: A few days ago, during the recent military crackdown, the Institut d’Egypte was burned to the ground — mainly because young soldiers either joined in the gleeful savagery or declined to prevent it. Millions of manuscripts were lost. This blogger (politically correct enough to use the terms “BCE” and “CE” rather than “BC and “AD”) compares it to the destruction of the Library of Alexandria. But I’d put it in the context of the Muslim world’s more recent retreat into ignorance represented by the Brotherhood, the Wahhabists, the Ayatollahs et al.
False Fronts, at Home and Abroad - Mark Steyn
Excerpt: The jig is pretty much up for the post–World War II global order. It's becoming increasingly hard to avoid the thought that, when it comes to the Western world, there's no there there. There may be a there out there somewhere else, but chances are you're paying for that, too. The put-upon taxpayer of an industrial nation accepts that the bulk of his contribution to the "international aid" budget is entirely wasted: The traditional quip, made by many people, from the great Peter Bauer to Ron Paul more recently, is that it's poor people in rich countries funding rich people in poor countries. But that bon mot doesn't seem quite to cover the revelation that the U.S. Agency for International Development gives foreign aid to China. That's to say, we borrow money from China to give to China.
