Good evening!
Just finished watching the replay of the Repub debate....and boy are my arms tired. Har Har!
So...what's an obama-ponzi-care-scheme? Heard a whole bunch about that.
I loved the emergence of market based economics!!! Its sad Ron Paul just doesn't come across as strongly as he should in this domain.
Rick Perry Doesn't believe in generally accepted science, neither does Michele Bachman. Wanna know the difference between those two? Well, its two-fold
A)Perry knows who Keynes is, and knows that he is dead...fact. Honestly though, love the acknowledgement that Keynesian economics is dead...
B) Bachman looked like an insane woman, they're both crazy, but she looked it.
This just in...
C) Chris Matthews just asked Bachman's campaign manager if he wanted her calling foreign policy...I'm pretty sure he was laughing, I know I was.
Newt, Newt, Newt...Why can't I forget the scheister you were. You came across as the most intelligent, but when will you start forging documents and proclaiming false accusations. Your best bet is VP
Cain, I don't know what your selling, but you sure sound like a businessman 9-9-9 upside down is...6-6-6....Herman Cain is..mmmm.... SATAN!!!! Speaking of, why doesn't Dana Carvey run for president.
Loved what Huntsman had to say, but he looks so slimey, and WTF is up with everyone talking about their kids? BTW Bachman, I don't think using your 1000 kids is good politics. Which leads me to...
Rick San F'n Torum. Dude, using your name in the third person has to be the second most annoying thing about the republican party right now. Following "obamacare" very closely. Otherwise your a non-issue as always. I can't pay attention to what you're saying when your always looking so smug, oh and all debate you looked like you needed to #2. Call your wife from the kitchen after she's done baking and making babies to get you some TP or a fine laxative. Oh, and you also don't believe in evolution...its 2011...seriously?
Perry and Romney are the obvious front-runners. I realllllly don't like Rick Perry. More poli-economics in the AM
Obama, please go free-market....please stay socially liberal....beat all of these douches...good day to you sir

Good morning! Its coffee time!
Woooo. Big PSU win last weekend. Sure, it was over Indiana State, but a win is a win. Big test coming up this week against Bama'. Let us not forget last year and the three red zone interceptions. I would like to live in legitimacy this year. Oh, please pick a QB before conference games begin.
I was out with the lady all weekend in D.C. So that will account for the lack of posts. Had a doozie last night, just wanted to address the weekend this morning.
Boss is out of town for the week, so its project time for the intern. Not getting paid never felt so good. Eh, not really.
Can't say I have any lack of material these days, what with the election and all. Big voter discontent with President Obama, but is anyone surprised? I'm certainly not, but not for the reasons most may think. Sure, I am against big government sponsored programs, deficit spending, the propping up of the economy, the free printing of money, etc. Still not hitting the nail on the head. No, what I want to touch on is a facet of politics many are familiar with, but may not be knowledgeable of. The Gallup Poll. AKA the presidential approval rating. If you weren't previously aware one question is asked of those polled "Do you approve or dissapprove of the job of the president?" I mean, how much possibility is there for bias here? hahaha
I did a study last year analysing the effect of the poll on election results, specifically pertaining to the success of the party of the president in office at the time, and what variables go into a successful/unsuccessful approval rating. Turns out that only a few factors show influence on approval rating, and that the approval rating is very much responsible for the election success of the president and his party. Two facts pertinent to this blog entry:
1) President Obama has been polled upwards of 600% more than any president previous. Average polling number - 45, polling number for Pres. Obama - 350.
2) Presidential approval ratings have been down across the board since the advent of the 24 hour news channel. Also the most widely used media source for publishing the approval ratings, analysis, etc.
A conclusion I came to earlier, and one I will infer to here. If our own lives were subject to a daily job approval rating, and that rating were subject to 24-hour media scrutiny, how would we rack up? When your job is subject to popular approval, and through that electoral college approval, how is it possible to take the appropriate risks necessary to find our way to success.
Following my man Bastiat, what is unseen? The best of the best are no longer running for the top office. (See my post from last night) We are getting less out of our country because we are getting less out of our leaders. Only those who want the spotlight are now running for office, and this is bad for everyone. I dig Ron Paul, but even he is a little out there when it comes to the strict adherence to the gold standard. Also he is running under the republican ticket, which makes him subject to all the nuances that are necessary to getting elected republican.
Oh well, at least I'll always have Paris...
Speaking of, J-B Say law of the day
Consumption not only provides no stimulus to wealth creation, but is actually contrary to it.
(Ahem, Mr. Bernanke. Cast your Keynesian aside!)

The constitution is not a vessel for personal mandate...Good Evening!
Hey there! Hope everyone is having a good evening.
Hey, don't be alarmed, but somehow Michele Bachmann is still running for president.
No, really. Catch your breath and stop laughing. This is starting to get real. The only saving grace is that IF ,and that's a font "largest" IF, she wins the republican nomination the whole of our great nation will get to watch extreme-ism on display. She has to be a worst case scenario for the right, but what do I know...I'm just representative of a majority of the 20-30 somethings with a bit more on my mind that squabbling over a woman's right to her own body...
Which brings me to the subject of my evening inner discussion. Why do conservatives always have to play personal mandate with the constitution. Hell, why do any politicians?!
Straight from the CNN ticker - http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/05/bachmann-why-is-there-a-department-of-education/?hpt=hp_t1
Mrs. Bachmann - in front of tea party bigwigs - declared that her intentions for the department of education, possibly the only branch of government worth funding, are to sack it whole. Quoting...
"Because the Constitution does not specifically enumerate nor does it give to the federal government the role and duty to superintend over education that historically has been held by the parents and by local communities and by state governments,"
Which, I can get down with. I don't believe taxpayer money should support school districts outside of their locality. In fact I would love to see all of my income tax and property tax go straight to local education. It is not a burden the federal government should have to take on. If a community does not want to take care of its children, then it is the responsibility of the parents of those children to find a better locality. I digress...
She also makes the same points in reference to "obamacare" Again a quote
"see that the current government is acting outside the bounds of the Constitution. Probably the most obvious would be this, Obamacare and the individual mandate that is unconstitutional and is currently contained in Obamacare,"
"And when I'm working with the Congress of the United States, my guiding principle will be that the government works best when it acts within the limitations of the Constitution," she said. "The current president of the United States has failed to demonstrate an understanding."
Ok, haha.
Problem #1
The republicans control the house of representatives, they are part of this mystical government last time I checked. The individual mandate is unconstitutional, again I point I can agree on, but this leads me to..

Problem #2
However, as most tea party newbies seem to forget, not always does the government work best when working within the bounds of the constitution. A for instance, Mrs. Bachmann you would not be allowed to vote if it had worked within its bounds. Mrs. Bachmann you also want to work within the bounds of the constitution until,
...When asked if she would try and overturn Roe v. Wade, which gives women the right to an abortion, Bachmann said she would put forth a human life amendment and do everything in her power to restrict abortions....
Problem #3
She is willing to amend the constitution to suit her own agenda. Oh how the founders would be proud...
Ma'am, you make me sick...goodnight
