Government Statistics Appear Politically 'Fixed' -- Phony

There are increasing reports that the federal government -- apparently for partisan political purposes -- has been rigging and is continuing to rig numbers that it officially reports. 

The House Oversight Committee is demanding that the Census Bureau provide more information about a New York Post report claiming that monthly unemployment numbers were fixed ahead of the 2012 presidential election. The agency has turned the claims over to its inspector general. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told Megyn Kelly of Fox News, “You’re talking about something that escalated over potentially the course of years and culminated right before an election.”

See both this report and this one.

The lesson to take away from this is to treat with great skepticism, if not outright distrust and rejection, anything emitted by the government.

Perpetually Preferred Plutocrats

Our betters in Congress have a perk-packed version of ObamaCare.  While they may have to enroll in ObamaCare,  that doesn’t mean it’s the same smashed system they have inflicted on other Americans.  Details of the congressional  plutocrats' perk-puffed version, which are spelled out in this New York Times report, include  “ . . . access to ‘in-person support sessions’ . . . a special Blue Cross and Blue Shield website . . . a ‘dedicated congressional health insurance plan assistance line’…Lawmakers can select from 112 options offered in the ‘gold tier’ of the District of Columbia exchange, far more than are available to most of their constituents.”

Rats (Demorats) and Journalice: Hilarious Weasels, Every One of Them

The current spectacle of Demorat political office holders and our curiously uncurious Journalice who gave us Obamacare -- apparently on the theory expressed by Nasty Nancy Pelosi that it had to be enacted in order to find out what's in it -- scurrying about in an effort to evade accountability for the mess they created is hilarious.  

The whole sorry bunch and its individual members demonstrate the sense of responsibility of weasels.

Who'd a'Thunk It?

Who ever would have imagined that the U.S. would be leading efforts to appease Iran and facilitate its nuclear weapons capability only to be blocked by the clarity of vision and firm resolve of the French?

Almost unimaginable, but that is the case, as clearly set forth in this report.

Training for Today's Public Service

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun

in one hand pulling a male buffalo with the other.

He says to the waiter:

"Want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure. Coming right up."

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee . . . .

The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere . . . and then he just walks out.

The next day the Indian returns.  He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other.  He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:

"Want coffee."

The waiter says "Whoa!  We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.  What was all that about, anyway?"  The Indian smiles and proudly says,

"Training for position in United States Congress:  Come in late, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave shit for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day."
