First, thanks to Tuce63 aka Lee for the help...the Free-Lancer is now searchable. You are a scholar and a gentleman, sir.

Second,
If you weren't already aware of the huge mistake America made in electing President Obama and allowing an overwhelmingly Democrat congress to persist, the the trillion dollar "economic stimulus package" ought to wise you up.
Yes, dear readers, the sinking ship we call our congress voted yesterday to pass the bill that Obama has been pushing since he took office, and which has received no bipartisan support (change we need). I am sure you are familiar with the bill, its the one that cost over 800 billion and allocated 350 million of that for contraceptives to "stimulate the economy." On top of that it has provisions for low income singles and couples to receive between $500 to $1000 worth of tax rebates--even if they didn't pay any federal taxes. Even though virtually no Republicans voted for the bill in the house, it passed unopposed, as it is likely to do in the Senate. Obama hopes to sign the bill into law in mid-February.
Just to be clear, this is a bill intended to "stimulate" the economy by pumping a trillion dollars of money that doesn't exist into sectors of society that do not generate economic growth. The Dems argue that they are trying to keep more people from losing jobs. Great, because bankrupting an already debt-burdened nation is the best way to do just that.

Many people mused rather naively during the election that "nothing is really going to change" when Obama takes office; "It will be more of the same old, same old." I agree in a general sense, as politicians always do stupid, counterproductive things. However, the foolishness and arrogance of the Obama administration only two weeks in is already reaching Soviet levels. The President himself said, after refusing to make any changes the Republicans asked for in the bill (namely reduce or remove all of the spending measures and leave only tax cuts) is quoted as saying,
" I understand that and I will watch you on Fox News and feel bad about myself."
He then threw a COCKTAIL PARTY, which is exactly the change we need.

There is good news though. Fox 2000 has picked up the Narnia franchise after Disney unceremoniously dumped it, and they hope to have The Voyage of the Dawn Treader out in theatres by next Christmas. Read Here.
