Big Government Means Big Screw Ups

When a soldier, sailor, or Marine dies in service of their country, we are grateful and humbled by their sacrifice.  If they are buried in Arlington National Cemetery we expect their graves will be respected and certainly the remains of the brave souls accounted for by the government that runs the cemetery.  The management of Arlington, just like the way graves are laid in a perfect line, should be done with military precision.


But none of the above seems to be the case.


Arlington National Cemetery cannot account for about four million dollars of their financing for the last several years.  They cannot account for over 40 thousand bodies that died for our freedom.  They are a disgrace to the memory of those who lie there so that we may be free.  


Chevy Volt: one hot car
This is what happens when government runs things.  This is government out of control.  Democrats love big government, but big government is a failure more times than it succeeds. I am not claiming that something untoward occurred at Arlington--if it were run by someone directly involved with the present administration, I would put money on corruption at the helm, but even if there was nothing illegal that was involved with the loss of the money and the bodies, there is that recurring feeling of government incompetence that gnaws at me.


I know that there will be more to follow on this story, so stay tuned, and avoid the liberal media.  They will rot your brain with cover ups and lies.


Finally, and on another note, if you are interested in terrorism and suspense, I have provided 2 links (below) for a hard copy (soft cover) edition and an eBook edition of my latest novel, Jihad Joe.  It's a story about Zed Nill, a New York based reporter, taken hostage by Islamic terrorists.  He must escape, or be beheaded the following day . . . the clock is ticking.

GM's New Green Rocket Inspired Auto--Obama's Baby


Bagavond design 1
 General Motors, the company we taxpayers have bailed out because, hey, Obama wanted us to bail them out, is developing an incredible new automobile.  This "super car," tentatively called The Bagavond, is using early childhood developmental technology and incorporating it in an innovative package with sleek stylish looks, practically guaranteed to be a chick magnet, and a water-based technology that has propelled this auto to speeds that touch 20,000 meters an hour.  (For Anglophiles, that's 20,000 metres per hour). 




Bagavond Presidential model
Here's how this baby works.  Remember those water rockets you may have played with as a kid?  Perhaps you're too young, but if so, ask your dad about these amazing projectiles.  You fill the rocket about 3/4 full of water and pump in air to increase pressure in the tank.  The rocket sits on a hand-held launcher that holds it in place and seals the exhaust, until you pull the trigger and Wooosh! off it goes, almost 50 feet into the sky.  The pressurized water is the propellant and there are no nasty fumes to pollute the air and give your offspring airborne diseases and cancer.  Well that's the way the Bagavond works.  Of course, it's more complicated than that, because you don't have a launcher, per se, and the water must be refilled in a place other than the kitchen sink.  Also, a pressurized air tank must be used to give that H2O a kick so your rocket car can take off.

How often must a Bagavond be refueled?  Well, it varies, but on average it's good to go about every three to four blocks, depending on whether there's traffic in front of you when you take off.  It's not a good idea to stop, once you're hauling oats, if you know what I mean.  But think of the advantages this car has over the Chevy Volt--no need to recharge the battery, just refill the water tank.  And if the Bagavond should somehow catch on fire, like the Chevy Volt, the fuel will actually help put the fire out . . . unless it's an electrical fire caused by a battery problem.
When Volts go bad


On the downside, GM is still working on the problem of water exhaust dispersion.  For now, it can be a very jarring experience to drive behind a Bagavond as the water shoots out the rear end in a highly pressurized stream.  Engineers are working on this problem and will try to redirect it so that it can be used to clean the streets, thus making it even greener when it's used, than when it sits at a fire hydrant.

It is estimated that the water charge to fill the rocket car will only be about $10.00 and a pressurized atmosphere charge will only be $15.00 per charge, so while the cost may exceed that of using traditional fuels, think of all the good things this car will accomplish. Birds will drink, streets will be cleaner, and your children will have a better chance of dying from an Iranian nuclear weapon than automotive fumes.  Now doesn't that make you feel better?

Finally, the cost of the Bagavond is projected to be $67,000 US and will also be available in Russia and Saudi Arabia, where water itself, might be hard to find.  President Obama is pushing hard for this car, stating that this is the wave of the future and he will not allow GM to fail.  He will be offering purchasers of the Bagavond a rebate of $2,000 in cash or food stamps, whichever comes first to his mind.


Wooosh!

If Liberals Had Their Way

Imagine the future where liberals totally get their way. All the laws Obama is calling for, all the changes in the way we live, imagine he gets them, carte blanche.

Vroooooooooooooooom
Picture the FBI chasing a suspect--a car chase, just like in the movies--except the FBI is equipped with environmentally friendly, green cars, Chevy Volts. These hybrid-electric cars were touted by our president as the wave of the future. Obama even had GM, the company that builds the Volt, bailed out, bought and paid for by the federal government. They now own the company.

"Can you still see 'em back there?"
Now imagine that the car chase along an interstate highway that stretches for miles.The Feds are trying desperately to chase down a gas-driven car; a muscle car like a Mustang, and the Mustang is outrunning the FBI to the point that the feds look like they're standing still. This is because the Volt, a car costing about $40,000, can do about 100 mph downhill while the Mustang GT 5.0 liter V8 with dual overhead cam with its 412 horses under the hood, can still get a speeding ticket for every mph they can do above 100.Got the picture? Are you laughing yet?


But the FBI agents and the President of the United States of America, can laugh at the thugs in the Mustang, because while the Mustang GT can get 26 miles per gallon on the highway, the Volt can get a staggering 93 miles per gallon under optimal conditions. If the Mustang crew stays on the highway until they run out of gas (assuming they don't stop for a fill-up), the FBI will catch them, if these thugs will be patient enough to wait the several hours it will take to be overtaken.
