This One May Get Me Killed

7 p.m. Saturday, July 16th 2011, I took the following photo with my cell phone camera.  The parking lot where this vehicle was parked was a Safeway store on SW Barbur Blvd. in PDX.  You will see the handicap parking logo painted beneath the vehicle, but will need an enlargement to see the handicap parking permit hanging  from the rearview mirror.
What sort of handicapped person uses an off-road setup pickup truck.  The assistance step beneath the driver's door is about sixteen inches above the pavement.

801.387 “Person with a Disability” means:
  1. A person who has severely limited mobility because of paralysis or the loss of use of some or all of the person’s legs or arms;
  2. A person who is affected by loss of vision or substantial loss of visual acuity or visual field beyond correction; or
  3. A person who has any other disability that prevents the person from walking without the use of an assistive device or that causes the person to be unable to walk more than 200 feet, including but not necessarily limited to:
    1. Chronic heart condition;
    2. Emphysema;
    3. Arthritis;
    4. Rheumatism; or
    5. Ulcerative colitis or related chronic bowel disorder. [Formerly 801.235]


Since the driver was about 40 years old, 6'3," and wearing a Harley Davidson shirt, and his accompanying female looked like she could kick my rear without any help, I wisely did not ask any potentially lethal questions, nor did I record the permit number.  But the license plate should be enough to find the truck's owner.  Take a bodyguard.

To All the "Little People" Out There

July 11, 2011
"Well, let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large.  The public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury option goes. They shouldn't." --President Obama 


So much for "taxation without representation."

Orwellian "Doublespeak" at its Finest

"I’m absolutely convinced, and the vast majority of economists are convinced, that the steps we took in the Recovery Act saved millions of people their jobs or created a whole bunch of jobs,” Obama said.
Yes, yes.  Don't look at the 9.2% unemployment rate, don't look at the 14 million jobs which have vanished since the January, 2009 inauguration, according to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.  It's all recovery based on the "stimulus." 


Somebody please tell me, is he still high on cocaine or pot, or is it just the LSD talking?


"Mr. President, Is what you just said really true?"
"Well, maybe just this much is."

Ponder This

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

"Pull off the Band-Aid, eat (y)our peas." --BHO

May I just add: "After you, Sir, after you.  You have exponentially increased the number of Federal employees, you have buried the middle class under crippling and largely wastrel spending, you have deceived, connived, and flat-out lied about your agenda, your pending sprees, your goal of reducing America to a Western Hemisphere Kenya.
You have used backroom fiat to sell guns to drug lords, and then tout the "statistics" about American-bought guns in Mexico, guns sold to Mexican gangs upon your orders! Guns used in the murders of two Border Patrol Agents whom YOU took an oath to protect!  And you have the unmitigated gall to tell the American people that you "agonized" for 16 hours before ordering the taking out of Osama bin Laden!  That was a tough call for you?  Why wasn't your illicit action against Qadaffi an equally tough call?  
You dragged your feet in response to the Gulf oil spill, increasing the environmental damage by weeks of lethargy, your lethargy, and then you sent in a crack team of lawyers, all charged not with cleanup, but "finding whose ass to kick."  You desire $10-a-gallon gas for Americans, but free computers and wi-fi for the third world nations which still use elephant dung as cooking fuel.  You have promised to "bankrupt" any company foolish enough to establish a "clean coal" (your very words) operation in America, and yet you offer massive tax "incentives" to companies which produce the most expensive and least efficient wind-and-solar-and-"biofuels" which are largely the imaginings of carnival barkers and other snake-oil salesmen.
You have never "saved or created" a damn thing:  not a non-taxpayer-supported job, not an authentic "autobiography," not even a birth certificate which wasn't a blatant forgery.  You can't even "save face" effectively.
You are adept at voting "present," as your known history proves.  You "served" as a Senator for two years, producing less than ONE bill proposal, and another two years campaigning in "fifty-seven states."  Without your carefully-scripted and teleprompter-assisted orations, you have a gerbil's grasp of the English language; a faulty and malevolent view of the Constitution, and hubris rivalling Napoleon and Mao.  You schmooze with the Saudi's and the "Pock-ee-stahni's" and the Muslim Brotherhood, yet you grossly insult, TWICE, the Queen of England, the Prime Minister of Israel (who, as you surely recall,later took you to the diplomatic woodshed) and the PM of Germany as boot.  Do you honestly think that you will be able to offend all of America's allies and woo all of America's sworn enemies without repercussion?

If indeed you are "the smartest guy in the room," your roommates must be Moe, Larry and Curly.  Judging by your Attorney General, your Department head of Homeland Security, and your choice to head the CIA, and your personal "life insurance," Joe Biden, it is no great accolade to be "the smartest."

I so eagerly await your removal from the White House and from public view, as you hold only disdain for both.
Goodbye, so long, auf wiedersehen, goodnight, adieu, ta-ta, just Leave, already!"
