1934 Political Depression Cartoon
Lest We Forget
It seems we've been here before … You might appreciate this cartoon from the Chicago Tribune, 1934. The government actions following the 1929 Crash made the economy worse, not better. The result was a down cycle that probably would have worked out in 3 - 4 years, but became a 10-year depression due to government intervention.
The more things change, the more they stay the same! Those who fail to heed the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. A review of the economic history of the 1930's demonstrates that Roosevelt's spending programs failed to turn the economy around. Unemployment temporarily dropped and then rose again in the late thirties to more than 15%. It took World-War II to reverse that trend.
Comment: Ah, the lessons of history. Are we looking for the next world war? May be what it takes to finally resolve the issues of Islamic terrorists and worldwide chaos.

Show us the money
:
The Federal Reserve cannot locate 9 trillion dollars in stimulus money credit.
http://www.wimp.com/reservelosing
Where did the money go. Who received these millions and millions and millions of dollars.
Is it not amazing that the events of these Democrat administrators come out day after day, and the media remains silent. Does the media not know that this mess will bit them too. No one is immune from disaster given the size of this financial boondoggle, not me and not them . . . The Right Jack

Columbo wants to know
:
Ah . . . Sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir. . . Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean President Obama, Sir. Um . . . I know you're busy, and important and stuff. I mean running the county is very important and -- ah -- I hate to bother you, Sir. I will only take a minute. Ok, Sir? See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering, Sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
Hey, you have a nice place here! The wife sees houses like this on TV all the time and says boy she wishes she had digs like this, you know? Is that painting real? Really? Wow. I saw something like that in a museum once! Oh, sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to get off the track. So if you could just help me out a minute and give me some details, I will get right out of your way. I want to close this case and maybe take the wife to Coney Island or something. Ever been to Coney Island, Sir? No? I didn't think so...
Well, listen, anyway, I can't seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be "Not released" or "Not available." I'm sure it's just an oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are -- I -- I have them written down here somewhere -- oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I'll just read it to you. Could you please help me find these things Sir?
1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- Not available
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- Not available
8. Your Illinois State Senate records -- Not available
9. Law practice client list -- Not released
10. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
11. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not released
12. Record of your baptism -- Not available
Oh, and one more thing, Senator, I can't seem to find any articles you published as editor of the Harvard Law Review, or as a Professor at the University of Chicago. Can you explain that to me, Sir? Oh but, hey -- listen! I know you're busy! If this is too much for you right now -- I mean -- tell you what. I'll come back tomorrow. Give you some time to get these things together, You know? I mean, I know you're busy. I'll just let myself out. I'll be back tomorrow. And the day after… What's that Mr. President? Who wants to know these things? We the People of the United States of America! You know, the ones that vote.

A Sign: Air Force Safety System
.
A friend sent me a power point slide show about an Air Force fire safety system. Here is how it works. The safety system comes on and drops foam all over the potentially hazardous vehicle [i.e., airplane]. In this particular test, the system would not shut off. Foam filled the hangar up to the rafters - no kidding, up to the rafters. The foam spilled out of the hangar onto the runway as well as in and on nearby cars and trucks. It looked like something out of an old Buster Keaton silent movie.
Let’s see. Congress cannot run their own cafeteria at a profit. Social Security and Medicare are going broke. Postal rates keep going up. Public government schools are an unqualified educational disaster. Now, the current government-in-charge wants to take over our health care system. Do you see any pattern here at all . . . the right jack

Greeter job
.
So, after landing my new job as a Wal-Mart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day. About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
As I had been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'
The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'
So I replied, “I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart!”
My supervisor said that I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work.
Editor’s Note: Knowing how much the left despises big companies like Wal-Mart a well run company that brings good products and prices to consumers, I just had to include this little story. … The Right Jack
