Morning all hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. For those who didn’t, 2013 is a new beginning. As long as we are alive there is always hope. Here’s hoping your 2013 will be a good year.
dd I liked your site. I like to fact ck but am suspicious of many sites. Will definitely use this one. dd I appreciate the info you provided after my mother in laws fall. Just to let you know, she is doing well considering her age. She spent Christmas with us and it was special for the whole family. As for sites I visit—I start my morning reading many sites–mostly political. I do like gardening, cooking and design sites. I have had to abandon many gardening sites as many of the bloggers tend to be pretty left wing and become political. My favorite gardening blog is dirt simple my favorite design/cooking blog is stone gable.
Off for the day. Have a good one all.
Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all a little late! I guess I am not ment to have holidays. Thanksgiving and my back went out and not for Christmas, 2 am Christmas morning I was visited by the flue fairy! made it through the present opening but then packed up and went home. That drive was one of the longest 3 hours of my life! Got home and climed into bed. Well I guess i cna have Christmas dinner next year!
I hope everyone heare had a better one that that!!
Morning Ratboy
As we say here in the south God love you–so sorry about your holiday mishaps. I did get a chuckle out of your dog story. Hope you are feeling better today.
@ letmethink
Yep I am a barrel of laughs!! I am feeling better and starting to take in some chicken soup and 7-up to refuel the body. I cant be mad at my dogs though. While I was laid up with my back and now with the flu, they never left my side! They are the most loyal friends EVER!!
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Got a blender!!!!!! What? I didn’t have one before.
Was watching Fox yesterday morning. Very Christmasy. Turned over to MSNBC just for manure and giggles, not so Christmasy. It was some special about a religous cult. Or maybe this is Christmasy according to MSNBC.
Hi Rats,
When I’m sick, my cats all hang with me. Glad you are feeling better and that you kicked out the flu fairy.
@RatboyThey are the most loyal friends EVER!
That is absolutely the truth. Our dogs like nothing better than someone who is sick in bed. They will stay with that person until they are well. BTW–did you send us this snow? We have a dusting of snow this morning and it is cold. Yet, our two puppies are out playing in the snow like it is 90 degrees out.
@Raz Fox has had some great music and Christmas programming on.
I was so pleased to see it. Trying to forget about politics for now and just enjoy the season-

Here’s the perfect dish for a sick Ratboy, served with cheese bread:

Here’s something I bet you thought you’d never see at the perilously liberal Huffington Post.
In a Dean Baker article published Tuesday with the astonishing title “There Is No Santa Claus and Bill Clinton Was Not an Economic Savior,” the second sentence read, “Just as little kids have to come to grips with the fact that there is no Santa Claus, it is necessary for millions of liberals, including many who think of themselves as highly knowledgeable about economic matters, to realize that President Clinton’s policies sent the economy seriously off course.”
For those unfamiliar with Baker, he is no conservative.
Far from it, as he is currently co-director of the Center for Economic Policy which even the liberal Wikipedia categorizes as “progressive.”
It is therefore fascinating to see a liberal economist on Christmas Day go after the saintly Clinton.
“[T]he point of economic policy is to produce an economy that improves the lives of the people in a sustainable way,” wrote Baker. “Clinton badly flunked this test.”
Baker then proceeded to speak inconvenient truths that the left and their media minions have ignored for over a decade.
“The Clinton economy was driven by a stock bubble,” he wrote. “This is not a debatable point. The ratio of market-wide stock prices to corporate earnings was well over 30 to 1 at the peak of the bubble in 2000. This is more than twice the historic average.”
Baker next described why it was in fact the run-up in stock prices that drove the economy in the ’90s and not the Clinton tax hikes or anything to do with his fiscal policies.
“[S]ince any good huckster could make millions selling shares in dot.whatever, we had many hucksters starting nutball businesses that never had a prayer of making a profit. This is not much of a long-run economic strategy, but in the short-term it led to an increase in investment.”
But that’s just the beginning.
“The other way that the bubble drove the economy is through the wealth effect on consumption. The run-up in stock prices generated roughly $10 trillion in bubble wealth,” Baker confessed. “The wealth effect from stock is usually estimated to be 3-4 cents on the dollar. This would mean that the bubble generated between $300 billion to $400 billion annually in additional consumption. This would have been 3-4 percent of GDP at the time ($480 billion to $560 billion annually in today’s economy).”
If consumption associated with the stock bubble’s wealth effect was responsible for three to four percent of the GDP, since GDP grew by roughly four percent per year when Clinton was president, that means much of the growth was due to the bubble.
Of course, this growth was unsustainable because as we know from experience, all bubbles burst. When that happens, a recession occurs.
Fortunately for Clinton and his fans in the media, his tenure was about to end thereby allowing him to pass the torch on to George W. Bush just as things were collapsing.
“The S&P 500 was more than 10 percent below its 2000 peak and the NASDAQ was down by more than 40 percent on the day that Bush took office,” Baker acknowledged. “This pretty much guaranteed the recession that began in March of 2001 just as the collapse of the housing bubble placed President Obama in the middle of terrible recession in January of 2009.”
That’s correct. For the last four years, we’ve been bludgeoned by the left and their media minions about a recession that Obama inherited. What they dishonestly fail to report is that Bush inherited one as well.
But there was one surprise left from Baker.
“The 2001 recession was the main reason that the surplus vanished in the 2002 fiscal year.”
That’s correct. The so-called surpluses vanished because of a recession that was handed to Bush by Clinton and not because of tax cuts.
Wouldn’t it be glorious if more liberals in the media would be this honest?

Here’s the perfect dish for a sick Ratboy
You have ALWAYS been known for your caring and commpasionate ways! Thank you my friend!
Nope Hillbilly you are incorrect. SS does not base what you will be getting on the last three years of work. They look at your entire work history.
Also, agree CA decided to use austerity and it’s not looking so good for them.
Morning all
Now we all can get behind the dumbocrats saying of “Happy Holiday” as Christmas is over and no need to say “Merry Christmas” until next year.
But what the hell, “Merry Christmas ya’ll.
@ Letmethink and all others
We were not suppose to receive any snow, was suppose to stay north of DFW.
Stared raining Sunday night, received 2.5 inches before the snow started Christmas day. We accumulated appox. 2 inches with a coat of ice underneath. Low this AM was 23, now 32 @ 10:30 CST.
So, no yard work today.
