— Open Blogger Everybody's favorite mystery* blog is still up and running.*the mystery is whether it's a parody or serious. I'm leaning towards parody but it's so damn sincere!Recent posts have gone into excruciating detail on why the IraqWarWasWrong but there have been occasional excursions into health care and economic theory.
I was impressed by his post of Feb 10, 2010 on Stimulus job creation.
The Results Are In: The Stimulus Made There Be ALOT Of Jobs (In The Future)WHycome we know the stimulus worked you ask. Well we know on account of ANAYALSIS from STUDIE"S you jacass. STudie's from SMART people like Yggie
Which is how without further adieu here's a good blog post were Yggie show's a GRAPH (yes thats right dhingers ever try using graphs?).
Basically, it's a graph of how many jobs the Stimulus made in the future:
So you see, thats the answer to the question Did the Stimulus make jobs. Answer yes- in the future. Case closed. Tahts basically all the argument you need against someone who questions whether the Stimulus made jobs. It totally did (just look at that graph).
Where did Yggie get this he got it from Macroeconomic Advisor's. Thats how you know its solid right there. At first I was like skeptical. But then when I heard it was from Macroneconomic Advisors. Well I mean how can you argue with that. (Are you a Macroeconomic Advisor? Thought not). Furthermore, as Yggie points out, "all private sector forecasters" agree with it. ALL of them. Take the set of all Private Sector Forecasters. (i.e. People with the job title Private Sector Forecaster). ALL of the members of that set agree with the above graph, as far as Yggie can tell. Now thats what I call a impressive number/finding.

My God, I missed out-- that blog is fantastic!
Joe Wilson checked it out, and the names were wrong and the dates were wrong.
France didn't want it to occur.
France, which is our ally, didn't ally with us in doing it. (Which, how is that even is possible.)
The Baghdad museum was looted after it happened.
Bush "cut and run". (Remember?) Which is bad.
Because there was a Surge (i.e. the number of troops stationed there went from something like 120k to something like 140k). Which is bad.
There wasn't a second UN resolution after the first one (just the first one). Needed two.
"Shock and awe" is a horrible term and an evil approach to doing things. (Also, Iraqis weren't actually shocked or awed, which is bad.)
There's no way in hell this is real.

From the blog, reasons the Iraq war was wrong:
* Joe Wilson checked it out, and the names were wrong and the dates were wrong.
* France didn't want it to occur.
* France, which is our ally, didn't ally with us in doing it. (Which, how is that even is possible.)
* The Baghdad museum was looted after it happened.
* Bush "cut and run". (Remember?) Which is bad.
* Because there was a Surge (i.e. the number of troops stationed there went from something like 120k to something like 140k). Which is bad.

This is a great quote from one of the police chiefs protecting us from the scourge of lemonade stands.
“We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with.”
He claims it's the lemonade that they're afraid of. I think it's the capitalism.

Lemonade stand crackdown? I'm thinking a typical lemonade stand has two kids plus a parent actually making the lemonade. That's three jobs!
The best part is the penalties and interest the government can levy when they don't report any taxable income.

Cool, so all jobs created after the stimulus, the do it now or die stimulus, will be credited to the stimulus. makes sense to me.
That was the same thing The Vapid One© said about students not getting their college loans from Washington since he took that over, too.

So the misspelling means what, exactly? That a moonbat is so ardent an ideologue that they're pounding nonsense out on a keyboard so fast that they make lots of mistakes and, by the way, they're fucking idiots to boot?
I agree they're fucking idiots, but they aren't stupid and we don't need to fear the moonbat dwelling in Mom's basement. It's the Paulie Krugmans and Tommy Friedmans of the world we should be throwing into the fire, and they definitely don't write like retards.

The crackdown on kiddie lemonade stands embarrasses and disheartens me for my former profession. Back when I was a rookie in 1985, if you had told me that, 25 years later, cops would be rousting kids I would have told you were crazy.
Unfortunately, a lot of the people getting into police work now-a-days are not motivated by the same things we were a generation ago. I told a fair number of them that they were lazy fuck-ups. I guess that's why they were glad to see me go.

I honestly don't know. My experience with police executives taught me that they become political animals and forget what it was like working a beat. I suppose these city councils got there panties in a twist and told the police chiefs to crack down on the "problem" of lemonaid stands. The chiefs then told the troops.
Of course, I would have told my chief, "No." Maybe that's why he was glad to see me go when I retired. Actually, the bastard hid from me on my last day.

Recent posts have gone into excruciating detail on why the IraqWarWasWrong
They forgot these excruciating details:
WMDs were found in Iraq, along with proof that Saddam was going to continue his WMD program regardless of the UN resolutions and inspectors.
READ: http://tinyurl.com/78tm5y
Last I checked, the Al Qaeda muslim terrorists started this war on 9/11. Terrorists are bred, trained, indoctrinated, funded, and supported across the Middle East. They manufacture jihadists like god damned assembly line parts. This war ainÂ’t over by a long shot.
Personally, IÂ’d have neutron-bombed 3/4ths of the Middle East to zero population on 9/12. But. IÂ’m a former Soldier, not a politician.
