How many of us have sent his written but do not know its origins? James J. Kilroy lived in Boston, MA, where he was a city councilor and during World War II he worked at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy.

 

At the shipyard, Kilroy checked and recorded the number of rivets driven by workers who were paid based on the number of rivets placed. Once Kilroy counted a block of rivets, he would use a chalk chock mark and in crayoned letters write, “Kilroy was here.”

Before a ship launched it was usually painted, which would cover up Kilroy’s marks. However during the war ships were being build and sent out too fast to paint them. Great numbers of servicemen were transported on these outgoing ships and saw Kilroy’s signature mark.

Playing on Mr. Kilroy’s words, servicemen began placing “Kilroy was here” signs wherever US Forces landed. The picture of a man peeking over a fence was added along the way.

Now, as Paul Harvey would say, “You know the rest of the story!”

We are soooooo fucked

With President-elect Barack Obama and congressional Democrats considering a massive spending package aimed at pulling the nation out of recession, the national debt is projected to jump by as much as $2 trillion this year, an unprecedented increase that could test the world’s appetite for financing U.S. government spending.

I am wondering if we are worse off than the results of the FAILED Jimmy Carter failure as president that almost destroyed America.  The media will blame Bush for the crisis while ignoring the facts about the congress holding the purse strings. ( I do blame him for not vetoing the damn bills).

 

There’s a time bomb in there somewhere,” Crandall said, “but we don’t know exactly where on the calendar it’s planted.”

It will all come around and hit us in the head. Russia and China will get decapitated first with the melt down.

Congress is not planning to raise taxes or cut spending to cover the cost of those programs, because economists say doing so would further slow economic activity. That means the government has to borrow the money.

It will take us years to dig out of the mess, why don’t they learn to stop digging? How do we find someone that can get the GOP to step away from the check book?

The Press falls all over itself over “The ONE’

We read in The Washington Post that Barack offered to buy his reportorial flock sugary shaved ices, too, but they giggled and demurred; just being near him was sweet enough.
Ever since MSNBC’s Chris Matthews uttered his “thrill up my leg” comments during coverage of the Obama campaign last February, his intemperate, on-air ejaculation has set the standard for male journalist man-crushes. Last week’s articles in The Washington Post and New York Times transcended that, however, when working reporters eulogized Obama’s workout-sculpted, “sun-kissed pectorals.”

While only the Bush Derangement Syndrome came out for The Bush Administration.

I never had to worry about Dubya wooing away the press’s objectivity; it was implicit, from day one — Jan. 20, 2001 — when Bush’s inaugural parade featured attenuated coverage of Pennsylvania Avenue’s processional protesters, turned backs, angry signs, and unsuccessfully muted insults.
There was no effort by the national media to soft-pedal that strident message, nor did anyone think it amiss when the networks cut away to cover, endlessly, Bill’s banana-republic departure from Andrews Air Force Base — complete with epaulette-shouldered military band, endless speeches and a sobbing Janet Reno.
Every Bush embarrassment was delighted in, from the eggs and tomatoes hurled at the inaugural motorcade (amidst signs of “Hail to the Thief!”) to Jenna’s “wardrobe malfunction” on the inaugural dance floor, to excited giggles about the missing “W” keys on White House word processors.

This is a reason I hope all the press goes broke. Unless the Democraps provide a bailout to them also, and I am sure “The ONE’ will sing that bill.
