Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – August 12 –

I’m hoping this article will be a memorial to me and my wife after I’m gone. I’m posting it so that my children and grandchildren can look at some of my and my wife’s treasures during our life.

Some of the treasures live on today.

Wolfman Report: Socialism; a loser?

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – June 28 –
I have been writing about Greece’s economic problems. They have a socialist government. Here’s an analysis of some of their problems:
From Wikipedia
The government of Greece agreed to impose a fourth and final round of austerity measures. These include:^[60]

• Public sector limit of €1,000 introduced to bi-annual bonus, abolished entirely for those earning over €3,000 a month.
  
• An 8% cut on public sector allowances and a 3% pay cut for DEKO (public sector utilities) employees.
  
• Limit of €800 per month to 13th and 14th month pension installments; abolished for pensioners receiving over €2,500 a month.
  
• Return of a special tax on high pensions.
  
• Changes were planned to the laws governing lay-offs and overtime pay.
  
• Extraordinary taxes imposed on company profits.
  
• Increases in VAT to 23%, 11% and 5.5%.
  
• 10% rise in luxury taxes and taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, and fuel.
  
• Equalization of men's and women's pension age limits.
  
• General pension age has not changed, but a mechanism has been introduced to scale them to life expectancy changes.
  
• A financial stability fund has been created.
  
• Average retirement age for public sector workers has increased from 61 to 65.^[61]
  
• Public-owned companies to be reduced from 6,000 to 2,000.^[61]

On 5 May 2010, a nationwide general strike was held in Athens to protest to the planned spending cuts and tax increases. Three people were killed, dozens injured, and 107 arrested.^[62]
The vote on more austerity measures is supposed to take place Wednesday and Thursday. Newsvine member usa1 supplied the following links:

The situation in Greece could be duplicated in the United States of America.
If it does, austerity will take place.

Wolfman Report: Supreme Court Doubts Global Warming Cause

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – June 25 –

The United States Supreme Court has dealt a blow to global warming. It happened a few days ago. There’s a link below. It is the top link.

The plaintiffs wanted emission controls. They wanted to impose controls on American Electrical power. They lost big time; 8-0.

I read the whole decision, and it sounded like the EPA was on firm ground. If carbon dioxide is not the cause of global warming, the EPA’s efforts to control it comes into question.

President Obama’s skyrocketing electricity prices, food prices, and prices in general, also appear to be foolhardy. Failure to drill becomes a mistake, and use of coal, natural gas, and fossil fuels does not cause global warming.

Of course it could be argued that we don’t want to deplete resources. Then, that argument would stop us from depleting copper, iron, aluminum, et cetera.

Wolfman Report: Dress Yourself in Moral Garments

Champion Men's Double Dry Core Short,Navy,Large



Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – June 15, 2011 –

Pelosi has been in the US News recently. She didn’t throw Weiner under the bus [1] immediately. On June 10, she didn’t call for Weiner’s resignation. Pelosi called for the resignation of Weiner later,[2] which was ref

erred to in an article on June 15, 2011.

[1] June 10, 2011–

Amid increasing calls for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the decision should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents.

[2] June 15, 2011–

Pelosi said she concluded that "with the love of his family, the confidence of his constituents and the need for help ... Congressman Weiner should resign from the Congress."

I’m reporting this to show; Pelosi does have “some” principles. She’s against “weiners”.

2000 page bills are OK, passing bills without votes; deeming them passed is OK, passing bills to find out what’s in them is OK, but she draws the line when it comes to “weiners”.

As Alinsky says, if you don’t have much to go on, go with what you have. Dress yourself in moral garments.

 





The Evil Empire

Ronald Reagan invented this term. He used it in a speech in 1983. The evil empire collapsed in 1989.
The website:
American Rhetoric
Top 100 Speeches
Why do I bring this up? Well, it illustrates the contrast between our current president and Ronald Reagan.
Reagan displayed a commitment  to Godliness and faith, not only by himself, but by the United States. Recently our current president announced that he was quitting Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church. Our current president spent 20 years listening to Reverend Wright, who embarrassingly said loudly “GD America”.
  “The white folks’ greed runs a world in need”

Sounds ... controversial! Keep in mind: a) Obama isn't disapproving of this sermon. In the book he weeps at the end of it; b) Demonstrating that at least some blaming of "white greed" for the world's sins--which Obama now criticizes-- isn't an exceptional topic for Rev. Wright in a few wacky sermons ("the five dumbest things") that Obama may or may not have missed. It's at the quotidian core of the Afrocentric philosophy that Obama says drew him to the church; c) Indeed, in his big March 18th race speech Obama reads the passage from his book that describes his emotional reaction to this very sermon (his "first service at Trinity")--how it made "the story of a people" seem "black and more than black." d) This is also the sermon that gave Obama the title of his next book, The Audacity of Hope. e) The "profound mistake" of this sermon is not that Wright "spoke as if our society was static"--Obama's analysis on Feb. 18th. The problem is that "white folks' greed" is not the main cause of a "world in need." I'm not saying voters shouldn't cut Obama a lot of slack on Wright's anti-white fulminations. But the Senator should have spoken up publicly against the semi-paranoid "white greed" explanation a long time ago, no? And he could show a little humility. Again, this wasn't the occasion for him to be lecturing everyone else. ...

In Obama’s own book, “He weeps at the end of it”, I can’t imagine what Reagan would say, if he was alive.
