The Biz Flog is back.
This week I took on Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner for capitalizing on the A.I.G. crisis he helped foment by trying to seize even more regulatory authority. Stephen Moore described the plan as handing Geithner "judge, jury and execution" authority.
One Fox News Channel anchor said Vladimir Putin is probably "smiling," at the thought of Geithner's new plan. But since the networks have had Geithner's back for some time they are unlike to challenge him the way one Congressman did this week.

March 27, 2009 - 18:40 ET by motherbeltI heard or read this AM that Her Royal Clintoness, speaking in Mexico City the other day, praised Mexico's "public-private partnerships" and said that was something we should emulate!
Right. We should emulate Mexico. They are doing such a bangup job that they are encouraging their people to sneak into the US!

March 27, 2009 - 18:44 ET by BlondeRush played these idiotic clips of HRC today....you should be able to find them in his archives.
She sounded even dumber than normal. I think the fact that she's been hanging with Obama has shaved about 20 points of her IQ.
I hope he fails, too.
Yes, I did hear it on Rush,
March 27, 2009 - 19:05 ET by motherbeltYes, I did hear it on Rush, I had forgotten.
I also loved the one of her telling the folks in Pyong-Yang to give her a call, that we'd love to start up the multi-party talks again.
This should be called the US "Groveling Tour."
This, coupled with the posting here yesterday(?) about HRC not being subject to the President's wishes and "the Clintons" being part of a "coalition" government, is jaw-dropping.
Who the hell is running the store? We have a bunch of free-agents running around doing their own thing????
If it weren't so serious, it would be hilarious!♦

I tell you this piece of work is never going to know when to shut up and get off of the television...as maddening as it is...it is nothing but great for our side of the aisle.

Obama's screw-up/screw job
March 28, 2009 - 21:15 ET by Pilgrim1949Obama touts his record of public service.
What a bull does to the cow is to service it.
He's still providing a service to the public!
Alternative scenario is the Dem's promise to serve their fellow countrymen......sort of like that classic Twilight Zone episode in which our hapless heros discover the real contents of the supposedly benevolent aliens' book, To Serve Man.
(ya want that one rare, medium or well done?)
Even a screw is usually put in slowly....these clowns are using sledgehammers. (pass the K-Y...)
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES ZERO ALERT
March 28, 2009 - 23:04 ET by SmorgasbordTHE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ISSUING THE FOLLOWING ALERT
Due to the increased demand of our zeroes, they are now in short supply. Please conserve your zeroes. The Federal government needs all we can get. During the wars in other countries we asked you to conserve certain items so that our soldiers fighting over there would have the food and supplies they needed.
Your country is calling on you again to show your patriotism by conserving our zeroes. This time we need more zeroes. There are more zeroes going out than coming in. Please cut back on your use of them. If you have any extras, please turn them in to us.
Please send your extra zeroes to:
Secretary of the Treasury
Timothy F. Geithner
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington DC 20220
He will make sure they are distributed where they are needed most. He is an expert on zeroes.
Secretary Geithner feels that if we can link enough of the zeroes together we can end our financial crisis. Right now there aren’t enough zeroes to form a long enough link. You could be “THE MISSING LINK” that supplies the zero that makes the number big enough to end the financial crisis. It is your duty as a citizen of the USA to do your part in saving, collecting, and sending us your zeroes.
You could start a local drive to collect zeroes, just like they did during the wars to collect metals and other items. Any patriotic citizen would be proud to give your group their extra zeroes. You will be a hero to your community and to your county.
As we did with the wars we fought all over the world, we need to pull together as a nation to end the financial crisis. We need to send Secretary Geithner all the ammunition he needs to fight this war. He needs your zeroes. It would be tragic if we were only one zero short of our goal. Don’t be THAT missing zero. If a soldier runs out of bullets, they have little chance of serving. If Secretary Geithner runs out of zeroes, we could loose this war.
TRAVELING IN OTHER COUNTRIES
If you travel to other countries, and they let you get some zeroes, please get as many as you can. Even if you can only get a few, that will help us end this economic crisis that much sooner. A zero is the same in any country, so the ones they use in the country you visit will work her in the USA. There is no limit on how many you may bring into the USA. Customs has been alerted, and any zeroes you bring in will be collected there. They will expedite the transfer of your zeroes to Secretary Geithner.
WAYS TO SAVE YOUR ZEROES
(1) When you pay for items, don’t pay in even dollars. Pay the exact cents of the bill. That will give you two zeroes on most transaction.
(2) Pay for each item individually instead of all of them at once, following rule number (1).
