Future America

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:58:00 +0000

We are down to a few hours away from the VOTE by congress for the senate health bill. I wonder if the future will have many things made illegal in the future: 'bad' food, arturo fuente cigars, cigs and booz. I am sure all on the way to 'bigger' and 'brighter' America the democrats will have with more bills and stuff that will limit your freedoms and my freedoms. America is the greatest place on earth.

HAve a great day.

The Process

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 23:02:00 +0000

One of the issues that I have with this bill before the H.O.Rs (WHORES) on Capital Hill is this bringing together of two bills on one vote. When the online printing of the cram it down your throat (aka reconcellation), is that it would take hours to print. Every trick is being done on this legislation. If this bill is deemed to have passed and then seperated from the I am afraid of what this means for the country.

This process is even worse then the health bill being passed.

One thing I like to remind my friends. How would you like Bush to have done this process?

Need Police Work?

You have to love facebook. And all the funny little ads. here is my current favorite ad that I have seen.

I love this ad. There is a great picture of this girl in a lingergie cop outfit without a drop off eczema. However, all you see is her face and a collar. Of course this then turns into a macho picture on the next page. I am not to sure what this really says.

Pond-o

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:00:00 +0000

Now that spring is here. I have been thinking about changing my yard. The one thing I have always wanted is a pond with a waterfall. Then have some koi fish in the pond.

OF course I look at the expsnese from the rocks to the pool to the food to the pond skimmer and everything else that is invovled I am was amazed. However, I have been saving up for several years for this project.

I am looking forward to this spring. Just have to wait for the ground to thaw.

Have a good day.

Pelosi must resign.

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:20:00 +0000

I see that Pelosi is lying again and again. While nationalized single payer health care is circiling the Toto toilets she comes out with all kinds of crazy things.

First, she said that we have to pass health care so we can find out what is in the bill? What does this mean? We can read the bill and find out about what is in it.

Next is the idea of passing health care by deeming it passed.

Why trash the more than 200 years of our way of passing bills into laws.

Nancey Pelosi must resign now.

President and eating.

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:58:00 +0000

So i appears that Obama had a doc appt with an oximeter and other fun.

Three things came out.

1. He smokes to much. Why does the president smoke? Does he lack he self-control. Can he no set a good example and not smoke. After all he wants to control us.

2. The cholesterol is to high. The president is eating bad food and does not control his diet. Yet he wants the rest of us to go on a good diet.

3. Now the third is even funnier. I will let you know later.

Have a great day.

Fun TV

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:58:00 +0000

I have been watching a fun TV show called Little Mosque on the Prarie which is a really fin and funny show. It is Candian so it is rather hard to watch in the US. They try fun things. They had a great episode about cars. The cheapest car insurance was needed and was really good.

If you get a chance to watch little mosque I hope that you will take a few minutes to watch it.

Have a good day.

Scaricity and Eating

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:28:00 +0000

Let us for a minute discuss the economic principal of scarcity. Scarcity is the idea that the more rare an item is . . . the more it will cost to buy that item. As an example, when there is a a scarcity of chest acne that is a good thing. When we have a scarcity of food that is a bad thing. The item depends on it's relative value.

Vegans always like to say how immoral it is to kill an animal. However, the Vegan is doing the same thing but on a larger level. If all animal life is equal then we have by definition the more animals you kill the worse you are.

I can slaughter one cow and feed my family for months. A vegan can go to their garden and eat off a tomato plant for a few days. I am the worse (in their mind) because I have killed an animal.

However, there is a scarcity of food related to the tomato plant. The tomato worm wants that same food. Now what happens when you eat the tomato? The tomato worm goes hungry. Same thing with everything else in your garden. However, the biggy is when it comes to ants.

My WGU Experiance.

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 03:37:00 +0000

I have been a huge fan of online degree education. I received my first online degree from Western Governers University. I was thrilled with the setup and the way that educational system was setup and methodology. I was able to learn at my own pace.

The best part was I could move quickly and with prior knoweldge and experiance I was able to earn my online teaching degree rather quickly.

Before I went to WGU I already had 3 years of teaching experiance and was able to leverage that in writing my papers. The classes were excellent and I learned about all the mistakes that I made in my first three years.

Thanks to Western Governors University I am now teaching and loving my job and enjoying life. To say that I love teaching would be an understatement.

Have a most happy day.

Plugs in the Way

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:51:00 +0000

Well i have noticed that the non-beliver in natural hair loss treatments who is the VP of the US, Joe "Plugs" Biden is having problems.

Last Sunday: The war in Iraq will be one of the great achievments of the Obama presidenacey.

Last Monday: Bush blew Iraq.

Okay let me see if I understand this correctly. Two years ago Plugs wanted to surrender in Iraq.

Obama has done nothing for the war in Iraq in any way shape or form . . . and you say it will be great. It is becasue of Presdient Bush that we will be able to leave IRaq and leave behind a Democratic form of government.

I have been impressed by Bush and what he did in Iraq. Domestically . . . well that is another story.

Love them Numbers

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 16:11:00 +0000

I have been watching the government bungle around with everything. Here we are at 10% unemployment rate. The great depression was at 14% and we have a U6 number of almost 18%. Once again the U6 is related to how many people want fulltime work. One of the funny numbers is U3.

When we have a time of the government looking at things like click here to learn more about skin id, we are at a greater unemployment then the depression. The reason for this is the U3 number DOES NOT include the number of people who are on exteneded unemployment benefits. So if you are over 6 months of unemployment, you are no longer unemployed.

U3 and U6 since 2007

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:54:00 +0000

I have been using my fitness equipment a home. Now I know I am out of shape and I am willing to do something about the issue. What about these unemployment numbers.

The U3 is what we call unemployment The U6 number is the number of everyone who would like a job and does no have one. As an example, the people on extended unemployment benefits are in the U6 number.

When did the numbers start up? When the democratic majorities in both the house and the Senate. Well I hope you have a good day.

Happy Red Day.

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 03:07:00 +0000

Okay maybe this one is a little over the top . . .

but it is so funny and perhaps so true. I was watching this and my e cigarette fell out of the mouth, that I may have had. :)

In any case I hope that you have a great valentines day with your loved on.

I did well this year.
I got her some flowers. Check
I got her some choclate that she really really likes. Check.
I took her out to dinner. Check.

now what did I forget??

Have a great day and enjoy the youtube movie.

Finding Humor

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:57:00 +0000

I always wonder what makes something funny. I mean something that I find funny years later and laugh just as much as the first time. How do we move from a humor episode of rv repair to something that is always funny.

I was going throgh some old SNL stuff and Mighty Mouse just stood out.

I am still not sure what makes this funny.

Have a great day and enjoy some good humor that does not to be stupid.

Seals

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:58:00 +0000

It is funny to watch the State of the Union Address By Obama.

Now what was funny was watching Nacney Polesi, SPeaker of the House. I am convinced that she needs her nordictrack coupon to go with her new job.

Nancey Pelosi has been offered as job as trained seal at Sea World. She can stand and clap and hoot really well.

Finding Sanity

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:41:00 +0000

I have been testing the limits of my wrinkle crème recently. I am working on graduate class in history. Picked up a part in a play and finding myself busier then ever.

I then spend time watching the state of the union address and watching the comments being posted on the Facebook site.

I really do not like the state of the union shows. No one remembers these speeches. I will say this. Obama is on the conservative retoric again.

State of the Union: The Parsing Pt 1

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 03:47:00 +0000

Following is the prepared text of President Obama's State of the Union address, delivered Jan. 27, 2010, as released by the White House:

Madame Speaker, Vice President Biden, Members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans:

So far so good.

Our Constitution declares that from time to time, the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union. For two hundred and twenty years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They have done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility. And they have done so in the midst of war and depression; at moments of great strife and great struggle.

Still doing okay.

It's tempting to look back on these moments and assume that our progress was inevitable – that America was always destined to succeed. But when the Union was turned back at Bull Run and the Allies first landed at Omaha Beach, victory was very much in doubt. When the market crashed on Black Tuesday and civil rights marchers were beaten on Bloody Sunday, the future was anything but certain. These were times that tested the courage of our convictions, and the strength of our union. And despite all our divisions and disagreements; our hesitations and our fears; America prevailed because we chose to move forward as one nation, and one people.

Now this is a fun one. We did not work together at Bull Run. We were a nation divided by the power and abuse being given from Washington.

Civil rights marchers who were opposed by Democrats, including Al Gore's daddy.

We did not move forward as one. And even if we did, we trusted our leaders becasue they were able to be trusted and were not remaking the country.

Again, we are tested. And again, we must answer history's call.

How does one answer history’s call? History has yet to be created, I digress.

One year ago, I took office amid two wars, an economy rocked by severe recession, a financial system on the verge of collapse, and a government deeply in debt. Experts from across the political spectrum warned that if we did not act, we might face a second depression. So we acted – immediately and aggressively. And one year later, the worst of the storm has passed.

So this is how we are going to start, BLAME BUSH! The financial system was never on the verge of failing. Only your need for crisis. You acted and acted against the will of the people. Most people did not want your spending. Now my great grandchilderen will have to pay for it.

But the devastation remains. One in ten Americans still cannot find work. Many businesses have shuttered. Home values have declined. Small towns and rural communities have been hit especially hard. For those who had already known poverty, life has become that much harder.

This recession has also compounded the burdens that America's families have been dealing with for decades – the burden of working harder and longer for less; of being unable to save enough to retire or help kids with college.

You promised only 8% unemployment. The reason that home values are going down are simple. They are returning to the level they should be without the intervention of governemnt and the mandated sub prime loans.

Stay tuned for Part 2

How many does she have

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:58:00 +0000

How about this . . . for lots of fun. I feel that the President of the United States has become more and more like Cesar and the the common people of the US are the pleps. I do not even have a servant for my eczema treatments.

How can we look at this?

Michelle Obama has some personal servants. I guess we can assume that she needs a one or two. After all Mimi Eisenhower had one that was paid for out of the President's salary. Since then every first lady has had one.

The only time it was different was with Hillary Clinton who had three. Michelle has 22 servants.

The answer to the second is the flunkies assistants to the First Lady. Anyone can do the work with the first lady.

More Weight Loss

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 01:15:00 +0000

Since the top of the year I have been trying to build muscle fast to help me lose weight. I figure the more muscle I have the faster I can lose weight and the better I will feel about myself.

In any case, I hope that my weight lost will keep going. I am proud to say that the weight loss is going well and I am going to make my goal.

Have a most happy day.

Back pedaling

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:45:00 +0000

The election in MA this week has turned into some a serious acne nodules for the BO administration. I am amazed a the response of the political hacks.

On one side this is great news for many Senate Dems. They do not have to vote against something that will cause them to lose seats like crazy. As soon as Scott Brown was elected 5 Democrat Senators said they will not vote till Brown is seated.

In other words . . . can we have some cover so we can keep our seats.

This week has been an amazing set of circumstances politically.

Dawn is Coming!

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:08:00 +0000

Hope is still alive in America! Wed. will dawn a new day! Three cheers for Scott Brown! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip hooray!

I am almost in tears sitting here typing. I feel so relieved. I know the dems will now pull out all stops in the next few weeks!

Hooray for MA!

I never thought I would say that.

Haiti Donations

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:47:00 +0000

While my wife was doing her really great face cream I was watching the news.

I love Americas, we are a kind an generous people. I would love to see the top 10 countries that give money and supplies on a per capita basis. I will promise you America is the greatest giving country in the world.

Yes BO comes on the TV and tells people to donate through the government.

My problem is that the government is not a charitable institution. Unless you count on forcing donations through loss of freedom as way of giving. Plus who knows how much money will be taken out for various fees.

Most welfare takes about 66 cents out of every dollar given in direct aid. The government is a highly inefficient method of distributing money.

So if you are going to give please give directly to the Red Cross or other group.

The Stopping Buck

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:04:00 +0000

Well Obama has finally finally decided that the buck stops with him on the war on terror. Amazingly Obama used the word war. That I think is a first for saying the word war.

However Obama used he phrase "The Buck stops here"

The news outlets told us that JFK used this phrase after the disaster that was called the Bay of Pigs.

However . . . I love that word. It was Truman, not a Orange NJ dental implants, who dropped the first and only nuke that used the phrase. Of course that did not stop the news outlets from reading the script from the White House.

Obama prepares for Civil War?

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:15:00 +0000

There is a story going around about Obama ordering troops back from the field to prepare for a Civil War II. The source is found here. Now to be blunt this story is at best questionable. I would like to see it sourced somewhere else.

Why would I want it sourced. The domain is from a Jupiter FL adress. Hardly a European addy at all. I would have to classify this story as one for riding the treadmill.

Have a great day

Copyright Issues

noreply@blogger.com (The Isaac Group) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:47:00 +0000

In 1978 the democrats, being lead by Jimmy Carter, changed the copyright laws. Many many books, movies, and other items would have come out of copyright today. But the Democratic President and Congress wanted to protect Hollywood and their buddies.

So now almost everything that has ever been done is now protected by copyright making the political class richer and their corporate overloads richer.

Now I have no problem in anyway with making the people who do the works richer and letting them prosper in their works. After all a new iphone accessories or a new book should benefit the author or singer or star. But not forever and ever and ever benefiting the company.

However, who is getting rich from the Narnia books? The book company.
Who is getting rich from Heinlien books? The book company.

I will not even discuss music.

It is time to return copyright laws to something that makes sense. If it is a property it needs to be taxed. Start at 40 years old and tax the profits. I mean this is what the president wants.
