In case you were wondering......
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt............... 38%
Taft............................ 40%
Wilson ....................... 52%
Harding.......................49%
Coolidge.................... 48%
Hoover ......................42%
F. Roosevelt...............50%
Truman...................... 50%
Johnson......................47%
Nixon........................ 53%
Ford.......................... 42%
Carter........................ 32%
Reagan........................86%
GH Bush.....................51%
Clinton .......................39%
GW Bush....................55%
And the winner is:
Obama.................. 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in a job not supported by tax money!
That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

Ooooh, we got a tough boy here.....
Brandon Watts, whose bloody face was pictured on the front page of Friday’s Daily News, was the first person to set up a residential tent inside the park, a fellow protester said.
“He’s been here since week one,” said the protester, who did not want to use his name. “He was one of the guys who started the whole tent thing.”
He said Watts, of Philadelphia, Pa., put together his tent a day after Jesse Jackson helped protect a medical tent from being dismantled on Oct. 17.
Soon after protesters started pitching tents, a gal pal of Watts’ told the New York Times Magazine he lost his virginity at the encampment.
“Brandon lost his virginity today — not to me,” Core Jones, 20, told the magazine on Oct. 23. “I don’t know who the girl is. But I want to have a party for him.”
On Thursday, Watts stood atop a wall inside Zuccotti Park and tossed objects — including a AAA battery — at cops standing outside the barricade along Liberty St., police said.
Suddenly, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound Watts charged the officers and snatched a hat off the head of a deputy inspector, cops said.
Cops caught him as he ran back into the park, but he began to fight back, police said. He was wrestled to the ground and busted his head on the concrete, causing a gash to gush blood down his face.
It wasn’t the first time Watts tussled with cops since the Occupied Wall Street movement began downtown.
He has been arrested four times since Sept. 24 for resisting arrest, loitering in disguise, escaping from a prisoner van and stealing orange mesh fencing, police said.
He even bragged about some of the arrests to a Daily News reporter on Oct. 1.
“I got loose from them and I ran and I knocked down the barricades as much as I could,” he said of one collar.
He also gloated about an alleged fight on a downtown train with four men who attacked one of his female friends.
“I stood up and defended her,” he said. “I got blades on the bottoms of my shoes and a blade in my pocket.”
But he said he never had to use a weapon.
“I roundhouse kicked [one] in the balls,” he said. “I got only two black eyes, and they got carried out with handcuffs and stretchers.”
*****
Yeah, right. Four against one and they took them out on stretchers? If you're so fucking tough, why are you crying over a cut on your head from that asskicking that you were dealt?
And your weaponry sucks. How about a blade AND a 45 on my hip - who do you think will be taken away on a stretcher then, punk?
Glad you finally got laid though, but I have a question: Was it with a girl?
I love this guy
(PolitickerNY) — Congressman Peter King continued his verbal assault on Occupy Wall Street, appearing on Anderson Cooper’s CNN show and three times accuses the protesters of living in “feces and urine.”
“There was nothing there that was resonating with Middle America,” Mr. King said. “I didn’t see the purpose. I had no idea why the media was cover it the way it was. You really had a tiny tiny percentage of the people taking over the park, sleeping in the park, sleeping in their own feces and urine and that somehow became a national movement.”
Mr. King also said that in his mind “there was nothing admirable about these demonstrators,” who he called “a bunch of malcontents.”

Grumble grumble bitch whine and complain
I had a good day at work yesterday - stayed busy but not overwhelmed - and when I came home I was ready for an evening of movies and relaxing, visiting with Lisa, and generally just fucking off.
But alas, that was not to be.
I walked into the kitchen and saw a sink full of nasty dishwater and an "uh-oh" look on my Sweeties' face.
"Um, there is a minor problem here. I was making candles and some of the wax leaked out of the mold and I didn't notice and it ran down the drain and clogged up the sink and I tried to clear it with a coat hanger but I jabbed too hard and knocked the pipe loose and water came pouring out of the cabinet and the sink has a stopper in it to keep the rest of the water in the sink and I'm really really really sorry to do this to you right after you get home but I have a nice dinner of Chili Colorado for you and.........."
Damn, Woman. Take a breath.
I broke the rest of the pipes loose, drained the sink water into a bucket and tried to throw it on CharlieGodammit but he knew that game and was too quick.
Man, the P-trap (why do they call it a P-trap instead of a U-trap?) was completely clogged with hardened wax. That fucker must've weighed 2 pounds. So I said fuck it, I'll fix it tomorrow, no way was I getting my ass back into the truck and driving to the hardware store and spending time on my back under that sink tonight.
So I fucked with Lisa all night last night about HAVING TO GO TO THE HARDWARE STORE, and then started in on her this morning about it.
I'm glad she has a sense of humor.
So, I guess I'm going to finish my coffee, do my morning bathroom ritual and then get dressed to go TO THE HARDWARE STORE.
Thank God for P-traps, otherwise I'd be having to call a plumber to cut that wax out of my sewer line.
But this is going to be a nice source of entertainment for the next week or so.

That shit would get on my nerves too
Chris Schisler did not appreciate the camp drummer waking him up at 7 AM.
Two Occupy Portland goons were arrested after they choked and beat the camp drummer with a hammer.
The Press Herald reported:
Two Occupy Portland goons were arrested after they choked and beat the camp drummer with a hammer.
The Press Herald reported:
Portland police say they have charged a man with assaulting another man with a hammer at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police charged Chris Schisler who said recently he has been staying at the camp for several weeks, with assaulting another member of the camp at about 7 a.m.
The victim of the assault was taken to a local hospital with a head injury, police said.
Demonstrators said that the victim of the assault was banging on a drum to wake protesters to participate in a morning cleanup exercise, raking leaves so the city could collect them. The morning cleanup had been decided at the previous night’s general assembly, though many people at the camp were not there.
When the man started drumming to wake the camp, Schisler allegedly told him to stop and when he didn’t, smashed the drum head with the hammer, protesters said. In the ensuing confrontation, Schisler hit the man – a protester who has been active in park governance and maintenance – in the head…
…Portland police have charged a second man in a morning assault at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police issued a court summons to Danny Arnold, 34 on a charge of choking another man.
A police press release said Arnold and Chris Schisler, 34, assaulted Alan Porter, 45, as he was banging a drum to wake people at the camp. Schisler, who was located at the Portland Public Library after the 7 a.m. assault, is being held on $10,000 bail at Cumberland County Jail, charged with hitting Porter in the head with a hammer.

Whoa, I'm skeered. All freaked out, you know?
Just a quick warning, then a suggestion: Turn the volume DOWN - the tunes suck. And this is best watched after a sixpack or a fattie.
You're gonna laugh your asses off. I don't what was funnier, all those "elite commandos" creeping across that field trying to look like a shrub, or that fucker hanging that mortar round on the end of the muzzle at the 4:40 mark.
(WaPo) — It’s not exactly Seal Team 6 rehearsing the raid on Abbottabad, but a video released by the Haqqani network offers a window onto what is purported to be one of the militant group’s training camps.
The network is considered the most dangerous insurgent force fighting U.S. troops in eastern Afghanistan, launching attacks from its base in Pakistan’s tribal areas. U.S. officials have long suspected the group gets support from Pakistan’s intelligence agency.
It is rare to get a glimpse of the network’s operations.
Judging by the newly released footage, the camps are anything but state of the art. The video shows several dozen militants wearing helmets and green masks making their way through a rudimentary obstacle course.
They scamper across a makeshift ladder. They take turns leaping over a campfire-sized flame. They slip off the seat of a motorcycle to squeeze a few rounds from an AK-47. They study maneuvers drawn on a white-board with marker.
In one sequence, the fledgling fighters wrap themselves in branches, looking like a formation of shrubs, as they practice camouflaged approaches across a dusty field.
The video, which was released by the Site Intelligence Group, makes clear that the Haqqanis’ facilities and equipment are basic at best. But the network’s potency has always had far more to do with its lethal determination and ability to blend into the Pashtu population than with any high-tech training or gear.

Florida Occupier Redistributes His Neighbor’s Furniture
The 32-year-old “Occupy Pensacola” protester was arrested yesterday on felony burglary and larceny charges for allegedly robbing a neighbor’s home of furniture that he used at the protest group’s encampment outside City Hall.
Scott was nabbed shortly after victim Ned English called police to report the theft of a couch, a recliner, four wicker chairs, and four couch cushions from his home, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.
When questioned by a deputy, Scott stated, “Yes, I took the furniture. I was going to give it back, but haven’t had a chance to.” Scott, investigators noted, admitted entering English’s home through a rear window, taking the furniture, and using some of the purloined items “at the Occupy Pensacola Camp located at City Hall.”

All right! Free internet porn!
(Judicial Watch) — Following a laughable United Nations declaration that high-speed internet access is a basic human right, the Obama Administration is investing north of $400 million to expand broadband into poor, rural areas of the U.S.
Fucking A!!!
I'm going to stop paying my internet bill because high-speed internet is a basic human right. I'm just gonna let Obama pay it for me.
They're gonna to go spend another 400 million of mine and your dollars for internet access? Hey, you stupid fuckers - they're poor. They don't need internet access because they can't afford computers.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Fuck that domestic shit
Two nights between sheets was enough for me. I'm back to rolling up in my poncho liner.
Thank you, CIA
Two British nationals are believed to have been killed in a US drone attack in Pakistan , family and friends of the men said.
Terror suspects Ibrahim Adam and Mohammed Izmirare thought to have died in a CIA missile strike on Waziristan, a remote and lawless mountainous region along the border with Afghanistan .Adam's father confirmed that his son was killed by an American unmanned aircraft. A close friend of Izmir ’s family, who did not want to be named, said: "They have taken it very badly - this is the second son who has been killed in a drone strike."
It is not known precisely when the men died, but it is thought to have been at least three months ago, according to a source with personal connections in Pakistan .
Adam, 24, from Barkingside, east London , had been on the run from the UK authorities since absconding from a control order in May 2007. His brother, Anthony Garcia, was jailed for life in April 2007 for his part in a major fertiliser bomb plot to attack targets in London and across the UK .
Adam was made subject to a control order after being stopped while en route to Syria after the British authorities claimed he was planning to travel to Iraq or Afghanistan for jihadist training or to fight Western forces.
Father-of-three Izmir, 37, who was born in Sheffield and lived in Ilford, Essex, was made subject to a Treasury order freezing his assets in February 2010 in response to concerns he was involved in funding terrorism. He is not currently on the Treasury's list of people and organisations subject to financial sanctions.
It is believed that Izmir’s brother, Abdul Jabber, 32, was killed in an earlier CIA unmanned drone attack in Pakistan in September last year.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office could not confirm Adam and Izmir ’s deaths but said it was investigating the reports. A spokesman said: "We are aware of reports and are looking into them further."
The CIA's drone programme in Pakistan , which is not publicly acknowledged by the US , is hugely controversial. The Pakistani authorities have criticised the attacks as violations of their country's sovereignty and international human rights campaigners have condemned reports of innocent civilian casualties. American officials have privately said that the strikes have killed many Taliban and al Qaida commanders.
Thank you America when our own leaders do nothing

Animal Control Officer quits - via Craigslist
Click to enlarge. If that doesn't work, here's the link:
Thanks to Sammy for sending this in.

I gotta say, I agree with this Officer 100%.
Every Animal Control Officer I've ever dealt with, including the one that locked CharlieGodammit up for biting a trespasser to the tune of 48 stitches, has been great.
They've got a bitch of a job, heartbreaking for them at times, yet they're dedicated and compassionate towards their furry charges.
Assasination? Puh-lease........
The liberals are trying to spin the shooting at the Black House as an "assasination" attempt by the Right which is fucking hilarious to me.
Notwithstanding his ties to the Occupy Wall Streeters, the man who shot at the White House must have derived his views from Christian conservatives and the Tea Party, according to a column in the Guardian, because he reportedly called President Obama the Antichrist.
“Alleged presidential assassin Ortega-Hernandez reportedly called Obama ‘the Antichrist,’” notes the subtitle of Sarah Posner, “So who put that idea in his head?’”
Posner doesn’t give a straight answer, but points to apocalyptic comments by American televangelists who have suggested a variety of people as the Antichrist, before naming some Michigan pastor who seems to think Obama has a high “Antichrist quotient.”
Her column reaches its (utterly predictable) conclusion when she produces video of a man at a Tea Party rally holding a sign that portrays Obama as Satan. “This man’s companion could not cite chapter and verse, but insisted, nonetheless, that the Bible tells us that Obama is the Antichrist,” she writes.
(Washington Examiner)
First off, if we were going to try to kill the president, it would've been done. Period. It would've been done right. No fucking way would anybody in their right mind try to X his ass out by shooting at windows that are most assuredly ballistic glass and secondly if the Obamessiah was killed, then Biden would take his place and there is no fucking way in hell would we want that.
