So this is Obama’s big plan to fix the economy? You have to be kidding me. With all the problems facing Americans today, this is what Obama and his cohorts come up with . . . that’s embarrassing!

In order for a car to achieve an A+, the car would have to get 117 miles per gallon or MPG. I guess only bicycles will get an A+ for the first 100 years.

Are the people at the EPA and Obama out of their minds? How can these dullards even justify suggesting this kind of nonsense when after 2 years in office, the American economy is still in the toilet.

It doesn’t matter if its the economy that Obama inherited from GW Bush. Obama had all these great ideas during the 2008 campaign and has followed through on only one, Health Care Reform, which will in all eventuality bankrupt America. Now after two years in office, Obama wants to deflect blame back on Bush? WTF???

The malaise and stagnation of the American economy is a direct result of blunders and policy coming directly from the Obama Administration. Other world economies are growing. India had 8 percent growth this year. Germany, who is pulling back from their socialist past and CUTTING SPENDING AND TAXES grew 7.6 percent. Even the Russian economy grew at 4 percent.

Meanwhile here in America, we have a president in Obama, who has done exactly the wrong thing at precisely the right time. It so reminds me and everyone old enough to remember of Jimmy Carter. In fact there are many economists that call Obama’s presidency the second term of Jimmy Carter.

Reforming health care, raising taxes, letting tax breaks run out, all of these actions by Obama and the democrats take money out of the economy. They cause an economy to falter.

It has not gotten to the point that even the liberal media that helped elect Obama have begun to ask the questions that should have been asked during the campaign. Mainly, what is Obama going to do to fix the economy.

Amazingly enough, the silence from Obama and the idiots he calls advisers has been deafening, with the exception of the usual platitudes like, “The fed stands at the ready to throw more money at the situation” and “Blame the republicans for stonewalling what doesn’t work anyway.”

For the ardent defenders of the messiah, cutting taxes gives people more money to spend and more importantly, pay off debt. Throwing money at the recession that isn’t even worth the paper that its printed on solves nothing and this has been proven in the last two and a half years.

That’s right, for those of you to loaded from bong hits to remember, GW Bush sent the first stimulus package through. All of these stimulus packages have done little or nothing to help the economy.

So America will continue along moving sideways. Our taxes will go up. We will all sit back and watch the house and senate go back to the republicans like it did in 1994 ala Bill Clinton and his own ineptness that sent us into an economic tailspin. Its going to be a long two years. JD

At least 18 mushroom-lovers have been killed in accidents while hunting for their favorite fungi in the mountains and forests of northern Italy.

Mountain rescuers say eager mushroom seekers are abandoning safety procedures as they don camouflage and hunt in darkness to protect coveted troves, la Repubblica newspaper reported on Sunday.

“There is too much carelessness. Too many people don’t give a darn about the right rules and unfortunately this is the result,” Gino Comelli, head of the Alpine rescue service in northwest Italy’s Valle di Fassa, told the newspaper.

Seventeen people have died in nine days — six in 48 hours alone — mostly from sliding off steep, damp slopes in the northern mountains, la Repubblica said in a story headlined “the massacre of the mushroom hunters.”

Another person has been missing for more than a week, it said.

Ansa news agency said a man who had been hunting mushrooms was found dead on Sunday in the Alpine region of Valtellina.

A combination of August thunderstorms and hot weather has led to a bumper mushroom crop that has drawn the first hunters of what is expected to be a boom season.

WTF? What the hell is Julia Roberts doing here? If she’s running, she’s running like a spaz. Maybe its a still from a new movie where she plays a retard. Don’t know but nice rack Julia . . .

Paris Hilton sleds down her pile of cocaine in this file photo

Paris Hilton was arrested late Friday for possession of cocaine, a Las Vegas Police spokesperson confirmed to Pop Tarts.

The hotel heiress was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police after officers smelled what they suspected was marijuana.

“Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a contolled substance (and) made a stop based on that,” Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin told The Associated Press.

The driver was arrested for drug possession and through further interaction between Hilton and authorities, it was discovered she was in possession of cocaine, police say.

Hilton was detained at the Clark County Detention Center and released at around 2:30 a.m. PT Saturday.

The socialite is no stranger to troubles with the law. She was arrested this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.

Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told U.S. television host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.”

Note to Sheriff Joe Arpaio : Don’t worry about the Mexican drug cartels putting a price on your head. You have the strongest, wealthiest and toughest cartel from Chicago after you now. The Obama cartel.

Just who do you think you are Joe Arpaio? Aren’t you a government employee? Where do you get off actually doing your job and enforcing the laws of America? I guess no one told you that as a government employee you not are required to do anything and you are making the rest of the government lackeys look bad.

Now you have the Obama cartel after you and once they put the word out and order the hit, there is no stopping them. They will pass laws to make sure you disappear.

In all seriousness, unless there is evidence of impropriety, there is nothing the justice department which is clearly being directed by president Obama, can do about Arpaio enforcing the laws of the land.

The Justice Department has been investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for alleged civil rights violations. Officials set the deadline following a meeting Tuesday with Arpaio’s attorneys in Washington.

The Department has outlined 51 requests for documents and information on how the Sheriff’s Office conducts traffic stops and searches, trains new recruits and treats prisoners held in county jails. Officials also asked for access to arrest records from Jan. 2008 and to interview officers and inmates at county facilities.

I’ll tell you how he treats his prisoners. He treats them like the animals that they are. Keep in mind that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has the lowest return rate of criminals to his jails in America. This would mean that he is doing something right.

All of this saber rattling by Obama is just another attack on Arizona and their ability to fight illegal immigration. This is a direct attempt by a sitting president to usurp the rights of the state of Arizona and should be treated as an act of treason by the great state of Arizona.

Here is a video of the accident at the California 200 in Lucerne, California. You see a bit of the carnage, but whats important here is to look at the spectators. Look at their proximity to the track. I can’t imagine racing in a truck . . . over jumps . . . having to worry about running over a bunch of morons on either side of the track.

From reports I have read, the organizers tell people to stay at least 50 feet from the course. I hope that these are paying customers and that the organizers have this information printed on the tickets.

As the video clearly shows, these people are literally making themselves human track markers. I don’t care what anyone says. Its the fault of the spectators, not the drivers that these people were killed or injured. JD

Reading and watching the coverage of the crash at the California 200 yesterday in Lucerne Valley, its amazing how many people that were there blame the driver of the car, the event organizers and anyone else but themselves.

I went to one such event with some friends a few years ago, and they were telling me to come down next to the course to see the race better. I thought, are these guys crazy? I then proceeded to go sit up on a small hill about 60 yards from the action. From there I felt it was safer, and I had a better vantage point to see more of the course.

My friends thought I was crazy. After all there is nothing better than being right next to the action. And they are not the only stupid ones. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of these dullards lining either side of the course in strategic spots AFTER the jumps to take pictures to text to their dopey friends.

So when trying to understand how this could have happened, one only need blame the incredibly stupid people that think that texting pictures to their friends is more important then their own safety and the safety of their children.

As far as I am concerned, the parents of any children injured or killed from their stupidity should be arrested for child endangerment. But rather then putting the harsh spotlight of reality on the stupid parents, we will focus on the money and the lawyers that are lined up to sue all involved to line their pockets with cash.

Open note to the idiots that put themselves in harms way at such sporting events. YOU ARE IDIOTS! A bit of personal responsibility might be in order here. JD
