Ever notice that every time this idiot opens his piehole he says something stupid?

While at a $10,000 (minimum) a couple dinner where they were served grass-fed New York strip steaks and mashed potatoes with white truffles (truffles cost about $1,800 a pound), which was held at John flukin’ Kerry’s Georgetown mansion the late republican Senator John Heinz’s Georgetown mansion that Kerry now occupies with Heinz’s widow Ter-rayyyyza, the imbecile occupying the office of the Vice President told the wealthy dumocrats that Republicans are out of touch with “average folks” and that “they (Republicans) don’t know what it’s like to be middle class”.

“These guys don’t have a sense of the average folks out there,” Biden said according to the pool report, “They don’t know what it means to be middle class.”

BTW, a poll just was released that found that 80% of Americans are worse off now than they were 4 years ago when the Obama regime first occupied D.C.

Joe Biden- The gift that keeps on giving.

And did you know John F’in Kerry served in Viet Nam?

Ever since a certain marsupial who pops in here occasionally told me about JASC2,  I’ve kept my eye out for stuff to turn into odd .gif animations. This is one of them. The original 25 images came from a google search for “butthead,” which is my honest opinion of the OccuPoopage.

So let’s all celebrate the return of the public parks to the public and chant:

Government Motors’ Eco-Math

[The following was reposted in its entirety from Soylent Green with permission.]

These Eco-bullshitters are just amazingly dishonest. The fact that it involves the Green cabal at GovernmentMotors just makes pure, unadulterated Theft:

General Motors broke ground Wednesday on a six-acre field of solar panels in front of its Detroit-Hamtramck plant as part of an effort to green the production of its Chevrolet Volt…DTE will lower GM’s energy bill because of the solar panels, which were first reported by the Free Press, saving about $15,000 a year. (Bold mine–we’ll come back to that.)

Money Quote: “This isn’t only going green for green’s sake,” said Bob Ferguson, GM’s vice president of global public policy. “This is about reducing this plant’s environmental footprint and reducing our bottom line.”

Really, Bob?  Let’s do some Mother Fucking Math!

Six acres = 261,360 sq. feet. A 190-watt solar panel covers about 4 sq. feet. 261,360/4 = 65,340 panels. But they’ll need room for wiring and pipes, support equipment, etc., so let’s say they can only put 64,000 in place. Now, the big panels can run $30,000 a pop. But let’s say they get a deal–$10,000.

Our cost, just for the panels is…yes, you can do it in your head: $6.4 million. Isn’t it amazing that guy from GM can’t do that in his head.

But, harrumph, it will save $15,000 a year.-  Hmm, 6,400,000/15,000. Cool, the payback is only 427 FUCKING YEARS YOU DICKWAD SCUMBAG! But alas, it’s really not. The average life of a solar panel is about 20 years. So they’d have to replace them about 21 times. $6.4 million x 21 = $134.4 million. Hey, but amortized over 427 years…?

That is what Eco-tard fascist rentseekers call “savings.” I call it fraud.

The Tax Tsunami On The Horizon; In other words, think your taxes are too high now?

It never fails to amaze me how the libs seem to think that our money is actually their money, and that we should feel lucky that they let us keep the paltry sum that they do. From Investors Business Daily…Click on the link to read the whole article.

Fiscal Policy: Many voters are looking forward to 2011, hoping a new Congress will put the country back on the right track. But unless something’s done soon, the new year will also come with a raft of tax hikes — including a return of the death tax — that will be real killers.

Through the end of this year, the federal estate tax rate is zero — thanks to the package of broad-based tax cuts that President Bush pushed through to get the economy going earlier in the decade.

But as of midnight Dec. 31, the death tax returns — at a rate of 55% on estates of $1 million or more. The effect this will have on hospital life-support systems is already a matter of conjecture.

Resurrection of the death tax, however, isn’t the only tax problem that will be ushered in Jan. 1. Many other cuts from the Bush administration are set to disappear and a new set of taxes will materialize. And it’s not just the rich who will pay.

The lowest bracket for the personal income tax, for instance, moves up 50% — to 15% from 10%. The next lowest bracket — 25% — will rise to 28%, and the old 28% bracket will be 31%. At the higher end, the 33% bracket is pushed to 36% and the 35% bracket becomes 39.6%.

But the damage doesn’t stop there.
