File this in the “driving rules to live by”: If the driver of the car directly in front of you cannot be seen over the headrest, get out of the area as soon as possible.

Another “driving rule to live by”: If the car directly in front of you looks as though it has just left the local demolition derby, get out of the area as soon as possible. This is NOT a case of “false advertising.”

Here is a thought relative to cab drivers: I would like to propose that a new law be drafted whereby each vehicle must display a large magnetic flag on the trunk of said cab denoting the nationality of the driver encapsulated therein. I will be on the lookout for the cabs sporting Old Glory, and I will avoid the foreigners who like to regale me with involuntary one hundred decibel samplings of their ethnic “music” and the rest who spend the entire time on cell phones squawking in their foreign tongue and then expecting copious tips for such exemplary service. The idea of waiting for a cab with Old Glory on it might be as difficult as finding a liberal who DOESN’T smell like the catch of the day at the fish mongers, but I for one am more than willing to wait.

Mort Zukerman, editor-in-chief of US News and World Report, in his article, “How To Get Americans Working Again” opines that there is no snap answer as to how accelerate job growth. He is wrong.

I’m not an intellectual, nor a PhD., nor have I ever labeled myself an expert, but do have a snap answer to his seemingly perplexing question. An answer that is guaranteed to lower the unemployment rate, kick start the jobs market and get the economy on track again. In four simple steps:

In a Fox News article entitled, “Obama Gets Voters’ Message: Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,” I have to wonder whether Obama and the liberal statists will EVER get the message, not that I am concerned that they ever will. The liberals have to try to navigate the leftist Titanic around the glacier-sized ego of the Super Ego, so they have their work cut out for them. What is the “message”? The old school liberals used to have trouble driving over the water; the latest liberal “lyin’” seems to be having trouble walking on it.

After another progressive powwow yesterday, the liberals have “concluded that the economy– jobs specifically and the broader topics of the nation’s financial health– must be priority No. 1.” Proving that they are ever so quick on the uptake, the leftists only took 366 days to figure out that by passing measures specifically intended to stifle both job growth and job creation, ALL of Obama’s OTHER “number one priorities” weren’t of any concern to real Americans. Supplanting capitalism with socialism isn’t the answer unless the question is, who is the only president that makes Americans say, “that Carter wasn’t such a bad guy.”

The “news” when filtered through the labyrinthine lies of the left, in the end becomes nothing more than totalitarian tripe. Obama is so amazingly adept at destroying the job market that he even managed to lose 85,000 more jobs in December, which confounded “expectations the labor market was finally stabilizing.” If Obama’s first faux “stimulus” and his economic wizards can’t even create jobs during the busiest shopping season of the year, one has to wonder just how hard they are trying, or actually what it is that they are trying hard to do.

In “Employers slash jobs in Dec., pressuring Obama” (finance yahoo dot com) we read that “November payrolls were revised to show the economy added 4,000 jobs rather than losing 11,000.” When liberals start “revising” things, we usually start hearing about the fabricated “jobs saved or created” kind of malarkey. The jobs would create themselves if the leftists would give up on their habit of imposing their unique brand of sadistic socialism and allow capitalism to “save or create” the economy on its own.

The continual compost that has been coming from Obama and his cadre of communists in Washington has the nation in need of at least hip waders. Always on the alert to slither between the cracks and as predicted in “Making Government Run” (NLTZ 10/23/09) the liberals want to surreptitiously raise their debt ceiling to $1.8 TRILLION. The goal is to make the whole deficit talk disappear as they attempt to once again hoodwink the American public, this time in 2010. It should be our goal then to talk continually of Obama’s deficit.

This leftist three card Monte was called “bold but risky” in Politico’s “Dems to lift debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion, fear 2010 backlash.” You will note that this chicanery wasn’t called “brilliant and effective.” What is the reasoning for the sleight of hand? They want it raised “before New Year’s rather than have to face the issue again prior to the 2010 elections.” It should have been called “transparent” as it exposes the liberals’ concern for holding office alone, not curing the problem that the Demokrats themselves have manufactured.

As Obama tours the Pacific Rim, good ole Joe is left to hold down the fort.  But not to worry, he and “man of the people” skills are up to the challenge as he tours the Asian-American population.

An Understated Statistic?

By LARRY WILKE

Statistics, being as flaccid and flexible as the spine of the typical liberal, should always be taken with a grain of salt. In the case of the Obamanomics of the Greatest Depression, (leave it to Obama to top even FDR’s witchcraft.) might I suggest that one should have several of the fifty-pound blocks of salt usually made available for livestock at the ready.

The progressive pompoms of the New York Times are still aflutter for Obama and as notoriously noisy as ever. In “Broader Measure of U.S. Unemployment Stands at 17.5%,” the fifth column of the fourth estate still appears to be alive and well at the Grey Lady. Try as they might to candy coat the data, try as they might to subtly and not so subtly to invoke the early Reagan years, only a Kool-Aid drinker that would have made Jim Jones proud would believe the Bolshevik blather of the silver lining socialists any longer.
