Thu, 1 Mar 2012 04:48:12 +0000

Toyota's hydrogen-powered concept car slated for production in 2015 will make its European debut in Geneva. Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-57380928-48/... On the second stop of its world tour, the Toyota FCV-R fuel cell concept vehicle will make its European premiere at the Geneva auto show next month. The hydrogen-powered concept debuted at the Tokyo Motor show late last year. Few details about the FCV-R were shared, but the compact car seats four and has a cruising range of about 434 miles on a full tank. Toyota is currently holding field trials of the Highlander Fuel Cell Hydrogen Hybrid Vehicle (FCHV) in the U.S. Although it's not clear what will become of the hydrogen-powered SUV, the FCV-R concept is expected to enter production in 2015.

Big Government : Advanced Biofuels: Bite the Bullet and Finish the Job

Thu, 1 Mar 2012 04:35:57 +0000

No matter what type process that is used to produce biofuels the global warmers will still complain that we are contributing to the problem. Some processes are worse than using crude oil. The only logical way to go is with hydrogen fuel cells. It could be named the H2O. We have the technology already. We just need the fueling centers and auto industry to make them cost effective. At least hydrogen cars might not catch fire sitting in the garage. The Volt has been a real shocker to say the least. The water that is generated as a byproduct might help lower the temp. All the extra moisture could create rain clouds and maybe reduce droughts world wide or we could catch it and dump it on the hot heads in Washington.

Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid... Put these words Upon his tomb, 'Taxes drove me to my doom...' When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax.

Breitbart.com : Obama says Congress must pass job program

Tue, 6 Sep 2011 05:17:48 +0000

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel July 29, 2001. He had been a journalist for 49 years. This is completely neutral, neither anti-republican nor democrat and about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. 545 vs. 300,000,000 People -By Charlie Reese Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House now? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ... If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess! What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Breitbart.com : Social Security disability on verge of insolvency

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 06:29:36 +0000

My friend had knee surgery and it caused a nerve disease called RSD. She became unable to work due to all the narcotics she was & remains on. The bank she worked for had Hartford disability insurance. They paid temp disability for 6 months and she went on permanent disability after the 6 months. In order to get on their permanent disability she had to file for SS disability and sign a form guaranteeing to repay Hartford. She was turned down twice and finally hired a lawyer. They would get 1/3 of back pay (up to $5300 at the time of contracting them). After almost another year she got her day before the SS judge and was awarded her disability and back pay. The Lawyer never said anything in the hearing except who he was. When we walked out of the hearing he informed her that according to the paperwork he got from the SS dept she should have been awarded her SS on her first appeal but someone had checked the wrong box on the form and she was turned down the second time. Then he tells her that the SS dept had raised the max to $6,000 that he could charge her. I informed him that she had a legal contract for $5,300 and that was all he would get. So, it took her over 2 years to get SS Disability, had to repay Hartford Ins Co 100% of the disability payments from them and $5,300 to a Lawyer. But Hartford will pay $55 a month for life for disability, which is probably a third of the premiums they get a month from the bank. The system is really Pucked up sometimes.

Big Government : The Debt Ceiling Is Actually Not the Issue

Tax reform should be a priority for sure. A consumption tax would be ideal but would hurt the retired citizens, especially those on a fixed income. They paid taxes on their income when they worked and would have to pay a tax on their savings when they spend it. That would be a double taxation.

Who decides what "lawful network traffic" is? Will it be Al Sharpton, Obumer, Michelle or the soon to be appointed "Thought Czar"? As we have seen, in China & Iran, they block what they consider unlawful. Are we next? We need to get them the hell out of our lives.

Big Government : Support for Net Neutrality Weakens as Amazon Backs Compromise

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:34:01 +0000

I have bought a lot of merchandise from Amazon, from $5 batteries to $2,000. TVs. If they back this bill I will never buy another item from them and I'll start a website to boycott them. I had rather pay a little more somewhere else than support a company that will go along with anything this administration wants to pass!

Breitbart.com : Sherrod gets biggest \'I\'m sorry\' _ from Obama

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:17:26 +0000

The White House still can't get their story straight. From their statements: "Even the president of the United States had a hard time getting to Sherrod while she did interviews. Obama had tried to reach her twice Wednesday night but could not, said a White House official. She was on a plane traveling from Atlanta to New York, where she appeared on several morning shows. " "Gibbs, too, has insisted the decision was made at the Agriculture Department. He told reporters that Obama spoke with Vilsack on Wednesday night, but he wouldn't discuss the substance of the conversation. Gibbs said he doesn't see any reason for Vilsack to resign." How are we supposed to believe anything they say?
