Tinfoil Hat Time: The after the weekend edition.

Tinfoil Hat Time: The after the weekend edition.


Mr. Obama during a speech on Thursday apparently blamed Fox News for the problems implementing Obama care. I am so confused; I thought that this administration didn't take Fox News very seriously? Didn't they even suggest that Fox didn't even really do news? It couldn't possibly be 20,000 pages of undecipherable regulations that even the originators of the law find confusing?


Along that same note he also stated that there was no evidence that the ACA was hurting businesses. Really? Setting aside those that I know who have small businesses who can't afford to hire because of the ACA, Investors Business Daily came out with a report on over 300 companies that have either laid off people or cut them back to part time employees. This report does not take into account medical institutions who have had to do the same, not to mention all the unions that are declaring that this is going to ruin both the 40 hour work week and the foundations of the middle class. When the unions, which at one time supported this are now against it, and major hospitals that once backed it are having to lay off or early retire 3000 employees it might be worth a second look before you implement it. Perhaps if they had read it in the first place we wouldn't be having this conversation....


Under the heading of “here we go again”, the republicans, in the house, passed another budget bill this time with an amendment delaying Obama care for a year....sigh....apparently they didn't get the memo that Harry Reid is going to kill it , again, in the senate and even if, by some miracle of the blessed virgin, it was to actually get through the senate, Mr. Obama has said that he will veto it. How about pass a budget and then fight over Obama care or, and I think this is a much better idea,just let Obama Care happen. If democrats are right and this is the greatest thing since apple pie then come the 1st of January we should all be dealing with unicorns and rainbows and there will be great rejoicing in the streets and dems will win from now until eternity comes. If it isn't ,and the proverbial bat guano goes into massive rotation, then the republicans will be able to say “I told you so” and the dems can count on loosing elections for the foreseeable future. So in the words of Dirty Harry, and this is to both parties, “do you feel lucky?”


Under the category of “money not well spent” according to a Denver news report 600 grand was spent in an affluent neighbor hood to plant trees. This was federal money and didn't cost the wealthy folks a penny. Also senator Tom Coburn put out a list of federally funded programs that are wasteful such as “social media for apples,Wine tasting and a youtube clip for handling watermelons.” I am impressed. Nothing like knowing that apples are getting their own social media while grandma can't afford to buy them....


Under the category of “wait a minute you are against this idea..”
On Friday Eric Holder announced that the Obama administration was going to allow 45 million in funding for armed guards at schools. I keep waiting for the punch line....are these the same people who made fun of the NRA for suggesting that very thing.


Over the weekend a professor ,in Kansas, was suspended for a twitter basically chastising the head of the NRA and telling him that some day it could be him or his family mourning a shooting death. He made no threats so I am not sure how this is deserving of suspension. We either have a first amendment right to free speech or we don't. One question; where are those that would agree with him? Shouldn't the ACLU be screaming about his rights of free speech? How could it be that this redneck, gun loving, bible reading hick is the only one speaking up for his rights even when I disagree with him....


Under the category of “be careful who you date” Apparently some members of the NSA have been using their positions to spy on their lovers...I'm not even sure how to make fun of this one...hi I'm the perverted spy that your mother warned you about.....


The UN has decided that they are 95% certain that humans are responsible for climate change, suggesting that the earths temp has gone up approx. 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1950. Now I remember back in the 70's when we were being told that we were going to have another ice age by the 90's if we didn't clean up our act. Then it was global warming. The polar caps were melting, and Bermuda was going to sink under the rising waters, and their would be more fierce hurricanes...hasn't happened so now they have changed it to climate change, which is a fancy PC term meaning “ they have no idea what they are talking about they just want to tax you more” Anyone who lives in the North East understands that when you go from a parka to shorts and then back to a parka, all in a 12 hour period, THAT'S climate change. I think I'll just stick to the “Farmers Almanac” and my horoscope....



So that’s all for now. See you after we become the United Socialist States of America......

Tinfoil Hat Time

Today I am going to be starting a new type of blog. It will be called “My Tin Foil Hat” and will focus mostly on what I personally see as absurd or even down right humorous in politics. If it's nothing more than a dumb headline I plan to try and point out the humor or the silliness in it. I am not saying that any of it will be factual, I will simply be using what is provided by the MSM and other sources to mock what I see as being the massive amounts of insanity coming from DC and other black holes in the universe. Should you have something you want to share but don't have the time contact me and I will share it if it's legit. Be fore warned I am a libertarian that makes everyone fair game no matter the party or religious association. Let the games begin.


To start this I would like to congratulate Lois Lerner on her retirement from the IRS. I have to applaud her in just how well she understands the 5th amendment ,while ignoring the rest, and I rejoice in the knowledge that tea party taxes, as well as everyone else', will be paying her retirement. Well played Lois, well played indeed...


Under the category of "wasting our time" republicans in the house once again voted to defund Obama care only this time putting it in the temporary budget bill, knowing full well that the senate would kill it. Ted Cruz took up the challenge  in the senate and filibustered for 21 hours talking about Duck Dynasty and Dr. Seuss and swapping trivia with other senators. Now every time I watch Duck Dynasty I am going to see Cruz in a beard.....


John Kerry ,under the direction of President Obama, signed the UN arms treaty. So does that mean we are going to now stop supplying guns to drug cartels and rebels all over the world? Oh wait , it's not meant for the United States, unless your a law abiding American citizen, it's supposed to be for rogue nations who supply guns to terrorists....oh wait, never mind.......


The FDA spent over 182 thousand tax payer dollars to have a study done to “better understand social media” For about half of that I would been more than happy to explain it to them. OK so it's not funny but it is pathetic.


And in the “you got to be kidding” category. The FBI has determined that the Navy Yard killer was delusional. Really? I am so glad that we pay them as much as we do so that they can determine what all the rest of us already know.


The EPA has admitted that their new CO2 regulations,that will essentially prevent any new coal powered plants from ever being built, will have no effects on CO2 emissions or global warming. All righty then...


Apparently, at least according to a university of Maryland professor, it's legal to kill children in Florida ,referring to the Martin/Zimmerman case. So if I understand correctly a security guard, killing someone in a fight, while in fear of his own life constitutes open season on kids? Kind of strange how the killing of one person in Florida gets the top spot while 23 get killed in Chicago in two days. Oh yea I forgot it's not politically correct to point out minority against minority crime unless reverends Al and Jessie say it's OK.


Not to be out done that same professor also stated that there was a link between us rabid gun owners, gun manufactures, and pot smokers. “Radical factions of gun owners, gun manufactures, and marijuana users are challenging the very fabric of our nation...”
Apparently this man has never been around pot smokers. When you smoke pot, I wouldn't know this from any kind of personal experience ,just in case big brother is reading this, the only thing your “rabid” for is junk food. Given a choice between a Whoopie pie and a gun they are going to take the Whoopie pie.


And last, under the category of “you are just out of your freaking mind” A new drug here in the US called “Krokodil” has a nasty habit of making your skin green and scaly and eventually fall off around the injection sight. It's made up of a combination of Codeine and either, gas,turpentine,oil or alcohol. One question; why in the !#@$ would you want to inject anything in your system that contains gas? I am sure pot and a whoopie pie has to be a better way to go...


So there you have the first edition of silliness at it's finest. It may not be the funniest thing you read today but perhaps it will make you think about the absurdity out there.
