Eff you, it's my blog: Time to realize what you voted for
One way or another, you're fucked. Temporary employment as we know it is unlikely to survive Obamacare, at least as it is currently structured.
That's not my opinion, that's what temp agency heads said to Congress.
I suggest you read the entire transcript.
These guys have a pretty good idea of how Obamacare will fuck their industry and, by extension, you.
But don't worry about them.
Maybe they're full of shit.
Maybe you'll be fine.
Or maybe you're fucked. but hey, that's what you voted for.

In 2008 the Presidential Election was
Obama......69, 500, 000 votes
McCain......60, 000, 000 votes
In 2012 the Presidential Election was
Obama.......60,000,000 votes
Romney..... 57,500,000 votes
There were 12 million fewer votes this year, which
means 12 million Americans stayed home for this
election. Who were these people who sat it out?

Vote was astronomical for Obama in some Philadelphia wards
Vote was astronomical for Obama in some Philadelphia wards
In a city where President Obama received more than 85 percent of the votes, in some places he received almost every one.
In 13 Philadelphia wards, Obama received 99 percent of the vote or more.
And the MSM tells us there is no voter fraud!

US homeownership rate falls to a 17-year low of 65.3% in Q3 as ‘homeownership bubble’ continues to deflate
Carpe Diem | AEIdeas
Comment: The political obsession with homeownership starting in the mid-1990s raised the U.S. homeownership rate from below 64% in 1994 to an artificial level above 69% by 2004, but obviously failed to create a homeownership rate that was sustainable in the long run.
Government housing policies did increase the homeownership rate in the short-run, but in the process turned good renters into bad homeowners, created a housing bubble, waves of foreclosures, and a subsequent housing meltdown and financial crisis.

An End Finally in Sight for the SEIU Dues Skim
An End Finally in Sight for the SEIU Dues Skim [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
The Service Employees International Union backed the constitutional amendment plan that would have locked the unionization scheme into the constitution and preserved the $6 million a year it takes from the Medicaid checks of the elderly and disabled in Michigan.
But the SEIU's scheme should now end in February when the current union contract expires.

he slurred every other word, rambled about the lack of music, and asked a correspondent if the exclamation point in the Obama slogan represented the direction he truly wanted to go with his presidency.

Time for Hollywood to pay its fair share
Sunday Reflection: Time for Hollywood to pay its fair share | WashingtonExaminer.com
I'd actually go further than that. It's not just Eva Longoria who doesn't need a tax break -- it's her entire industry, which has enjoyed favorable tax treatment in all sorts of ways, at both the federal and state levels, for years.
And now, with the federal government and the states in parlous financial condition, it's time for those fat cats to shoulder more of the burden.
Why should burger flippers at Wendy's have to cover the national debt while Hollywood moguls enjoy yachts, swimming pools and private jets?

Suppression! Officials Try to Prevent Woman Wearing MIT Shirt From Voting
Suppression! Officials Try to Prevent Woman Wearing MIT Shirt From Voting | Jammie Wearing Fools
In Florida, of course, where some people are too stupid to know what MIT stands for.
A woman attempting to vote in West Boca Raton this morning was initially prohibited from entering the polling place because she was wearing a tee shirt with the letters MIT.
BocaNewsNow.com has heard from multiple sources that an election supervisor at the polling place ultimately realized that MIT stands for “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” — a school where students tend to know how to spell — and was not a campaign shirt for the Republican candidate, who spells his name MITT.
Campaigning is not permitted within several yards of a polling place.
The woman was ultimately allowed to vote.

Foreign election officials amazed by trust-based U.S. voting system
Foreign election officials amazed by trust-based U.S. voting system | The Cable
"It's very difficult to transfer this system as it is to anyother country.
This system is built according to trust and this trust needs alot of procedures and a lot of education for other countries to adopt it,"Elabbar said.
The most often noted difference between American electionsamong the visitors was that in most U.S. states, voters need no identification.
Voters can also vote by mail, sometimesonline, and there's often no way to know if one person has voted severaltimes under different names, unlike in some Arab countries, where voters inktheir fingers when casting their ballots.

Obamacare Drops Full-Time Employment
Obamacare Drops Full-Time Employment | Via Meadia
We’re still years away from the full implementation of Obamacare, but the unintended consequences of the law are already emerging.
Student insurance is harder to come by, companies are dropping insurance coverage for employees, and now they may be dropping full-time employment as well amidst the weakest economy in decades.
It’s hard to imagine this is what the authors of this law had in mind.

Global Warming Did Not Cause Sandy
Global Warming Did Not Cause Sandy - Robert Zubrin - National Review Online
Some of those decrying global warming as the culprit have sidestepped these realities and instead pointed to warming-induced sea-level increases as the culprit to blame for Sandy’s destructiveness.
However, since 1980, the sea level has only risen 3 inches, while the previous sea level rise of 3 inches, from 1940 to 1980, occurred during a period of global cooling, and, in any case, both put together are negligible.
In fact, the actual reason for Sandy’s flooding was the coincidence of the storm’s arrival with the monthly peak full-moon high tide, which raised the sea level several feet above its normal daily average.

Victoria’s Secret show tosses hurricane-relief Guardsmen out of armory - NYPOST.com
Dozens of National Guardsmen, and Army and Air Force personnel who have been sleeping at Manhattan’s Lexington Armory in between hurricane-relief shifts are being booted — to make room for Victoria’s Secret models in anticipation of Wednesday’s runway show.
About 300 uniformed personnel have been bunking down at the armory at various times since Sandy hit.
But their numbers will be reduced to 60 by Wednesday for the event, which is featuring Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

What if Mitt Romney wins on 6 November?
What if Mitt Romney wins on 6 November?
Romney has said he would be happy to sign a law making all abortion illegal in all circumstances, including cases of rape and incest and when the procedure is necessary to protect a mother’s health.
If that were to happen, Mexico and Canada (perhaps the UK, too) would become medical refugee destinations for those who can afford the air fare.
American women who travel abroad to abort can expect to be arrested for murder on their return.
Into the mind of liberals.....

TUCKER CARLSON AND NEIL PATEL: Wave goodbye to the Obama media | The Daily Caller
All of this was probably inevitable, but it came faster than expected.
Through their dishonesty the legacy media hastened their own end.
Their moral authority has evaporated.
So has their business model.
Wave them goodbye on the way out.
