Kristin's Mishmash

Is Obama High?

I've read articles, many from psychologists, who speculate that the president may be under the influence of some controlled substance.

I found these videos interesting.

Finally, this video is hysterical, but NOT family friendly.

Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?

This is for-sure not warm fuzzies for the weekend, but was such a good article, I'm compelled to share.

Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?
By ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN AND GARY A ROBBINS Posted 07/30/2010 06:30 PM ET

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.

People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"

I can't resist. I read this article and several things made me go "WHAT?". So today you're in for a little tabloid at the Mishmash.

"Ferociously bright, Chelsea studied history at the Ivy League Stanford University before taking a masters in International Relations at Oxford —"

Do we have proof of her intelligence?

"In 2003 she returned to New York to work for management consultancy McKinsey & Company, and later a small hedge fund run by one of her father’s major supporters."

So Daddy got her a job and at a hedge fund at that. Libs seem to love hedge funds. According to Reuters, "The big winner in the Obama administration’s financial regulatory reform package is the beaten-up hedge fund industry. Hedge funds get a particularly “light touch” when it comes to government oversight in the Obama plan"

Mishmashed News

Democrats Not likely to Give Up Lame Duck Session

Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) offered a resolution on the house floor asking congress to skip their lame duck session.

“Americans are sick and tired of their elected leaders making backroom deals to ram through unpopular, 2000-page bills that no one has read,” said Price.

In true government fashion, the Democrats chose to delay the vote.

Confidence at All-time Low

In related news, Americans' confidence in the federal government has reached an all time low.

When it comes to more 2000-page bills from a lame duck congress...if you ain't got nothin' you got nothin' to lose.

Obama Chooses a Crook

We all know that's something he's good at! Obama picked a Charlottesville, VA woman to stand beside him as an example of why the unemployed need more federal handouts. The problem? The woman was convicted last year of prescription drug fraud and in 2007 was charged with felony grand larceny.

Obama: African Americans are "sort of a mongrel people"

What!?

The President, B. Hussein Obama appeared on The View this morning and called African Americans "sort of a mongrel people".

Can you even imagine the outrage if Bush had said such a thing? The libs would be clamoring for his head on a platter.

When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people."
"I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it."

I'm so sick of the double standard and the race baiting. Barry seems to feel about his race(s) as Karl Marx did about his Jewish heritage. Must be hard to hate oneself.

So many eggs!

Five birds have laid so far today. This is the most I've ever gotten in a day and I still expect an egg from the barred rock who hasn't laid in 2 days.

Sunday sang the longest egg song ever!

So long that Peg decided she didn't need to sing at all.

Pie Time!

I'm sick to death of politics (like the ruling on the AZ Immigration Law today)and of being disgusted by what is going on in this country. I actually was sick on Monday and now it's 100 degrees out and I just don't have the energy for any of it.

So the Mishmash is going to get a lot of warm fuzzies today -- and maybe for the rest of the week. I think we all need 'em. I know I do.

I promised months ago and I'm actually going to come through today with How To Make Pastry!

Today's recipe is Rhubarb Custard Pie.

Going after the bloggers

Gotta love an entrepreneur. Normally I do--small business fuels America. I'm making an exception for this guy though.

Steve Gibson has a new business plan. He has started a company that is buying newspaper copyrights with the sole intention of suing bloggers who use the material.

What was it Nancy Pelosi said about Health Care? We'll go around, go through, pole-vault over? Until the regime can get Net Neutrality and/or an Internet Kill Switch, this guy is doing their dirty work. Way to go Steve.
