If I Had a Stammer

IF I HAD A HAMMER (The Hammer Song)

If I Had a Stammer
A Paddy Whack©

[Ever notice how Barry Stammers without his teleprompter? Here’s the latest]:

If I had a Stammer
I’d stammer in the Morning
I’d stammer in the Evening
All over this land
I’d stammer out Health Care
I’d stammer Global Warming
I’d stammer out Hope and Change, my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bong
I’d smoke it in the morning
I’d smoke it in the evening
While I hatched my plans
I’d huff and puff for ego
I’d huff and puff for power
I’d huff and puff that I’m the One, the hope and change you’re needin’
All over this land

If I had a Plan
I’d plan it like Alinsky
I’d plan with Cloward-Piven
All over this land
I’d plan to end freedom
I’d plan to tax your earnings
I’d plan to bring a Marxist State to you and all your children
All over this land

Now I’ve got a stammer,
And I’ve got a bong,
And I’ve got a plan to bring
All over this land.
It’s the stammer of Incompetence
It’s the bong of Arrogance
It’s the plan to bring a Marxist State to you and all your children
All over this land

What are we Buying?

I just got this on my Florida Power and Light email:
"Did you know...
The largest solar photovoltaic power plant in the nation is right here in Florida? Our DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center uses more than 90,000 PV panels to turn the sun's rays into electricity to power more than 3,000 homes. President Barack Obama helped commission the plant last month. This new solar array will avoid 575,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions."

[575,000 tons sounds like a lot, but is it? Our atmosphere is 5 million billion tons, to which 575,000 tons is a mere pittance.]

So, If my math serves me, we have 90,000 PV panels to power 3,000 homes. That translates to 30 PVs per home. As stated in a USA Today article, Florida has more days where between 20% and 70% of the sun is blocked by clouds than anywhere else in the United States.

[What is the actual 'footprint' of this plant? 180 acres of panels to power 3000 homes. That translates to just under 20 homes powered per acre of land.]

"At a cost of $152 million for 25 megawatts of energy daily, the De Soto solar plant is pricey compared with natural gas or coal-fired power plants, and Florida’s energy regulation system does not ensure utilities will be compensated for that extra cost.

In 2008, the Legislature, at Gov. Charlie Crist’s urging, paved the way for Florida Power & Light to charge a small, one-time rate increase of about 31 cents per month for the average customer to build three solar test sites totaling 110 megawatts of energy — about one half of one percent of the total energy FPL produces.

Together, the three solar plants cost an estimated $700 million. The clean energy they will produce is the equivalent of taking 25,000 cars off the road."
(from: http://www.heatison.org/index.php/content/news_item/florida_opens_hemispheres_largest_solar_plant_asks_for_help_from_legislatur/)
So, this is even more expensive than Cash for Clunkers. $700 million to produce one HALF of ONE PERCENT of Florida's energy, to remove the equivalent of 25,000 cars from the road, all in the name of environmental concerns. How does this make any fiscal sense? That's $28,000 per car removed, for what puny reduction in 'greenhouse' gas?

This is madness, and it is just the tip of the iceberg once Cap & Trade is pushed through.

Has anybody done a study to find out what is the difference between a society that uses our clean-coal, natural gas , hydroelectric and nuclear plants for energy and their impact on our air quality and say... Candles, Wood and/or Dung Fires to cook and keep warm?

There are five other states in the union that have less cloud cover and more actual sunlight available to harvest than Florida. Oh...and the idea that they should build them first and then figure out how to pay for them later is pretty typical. Thanks, Crist! The legislature causes a problem and then they have to legislate rules and regulations to justify it after the fact.

Incidentally, the website from which I drew the above quote had a featured video clip with Van Jones on it. I didn't watch. I know his agenda. It is the same as all those who swallow the great Ponzi Scheme perpetrated by Al Gore et al. They only give you the 'benefits' and none of the dollars and sense [sic] that weigh the true impact of these plans. In short, if you do the research, it is tremendously expensive for practically zero impact on our planet. Madness.

I Will Not Vote for Another RINO

From the classic country song by Tennessee Ernie Ford, "Sixteen Tons"

Sixteen Tons of Pork!*
A Paddy Whack©

We sent you all to Congress in the hope you would shine
You got there to Washington but didn't toe the line
We need you to keep our sovereignty
No more violence to our liberty

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO

Well, if you can't spend responsibly then step aside
Your RINO ways we cannot abide
Tax and spend, your conscience weak
Reform today or you'll lose your seat.

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO

Don't Want Cap & Trade and we Don't Want Healthcare
Those Socialist programs never go anywhere
We want tort reform, tax cuts for good
Won't you just do what you know you should?

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO

If you want to stay in office then our voice you should hear
We don't want illegals to remain over here
We need the fence and to enforce the law
Ignoring that is the very last straw.

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO

Don't ya tell me brother that our party is good
Conservative ways you've misunderstood
And as for that bullet train: Obamacare
We say No Way! Listen, Don't You Dare!

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO

With November comin' better think some more
We sent you in to watch over the store
Come election day our wrath will rise
We're tellin' you now we've had our fill of your lies

(Chorus)
You load pork on top of every last bill
If you don't get the picture then my vote you ne'er will
Campaigners don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I will not vote for another RINO
