U.N. Secretary General says we have just months left...
« on: August 12, 2009, 11:22:48 PM »
Yes, just four months to secure the future of the planet!  This may be one of my last posts!  We're all gonna die from global warming...or cooling...or climate change!  Judging by this cry for hasty action the Secretary General must be using one of Ummmbama's teleprompters.

Quote
...
We have the power to change course. But we must do it now.

As we move toward Copenhagen in December, we must “Seal a Deal” on climate change that secures our common future. I'm glad that the Chairman of the forum and many other speakers have used my campaign slogan “Seal the Deal” in Copenhagen. I won't charge them loyalty. Please use this “Seal the Deal” as widely as possible, as much as you can. We must seal the deal in Copenhagen for the future of humanity.

We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet.
...

Run!  All of you!  Run to the hills!

He's three years too soon.  The world doesn't end until December of 2012, not 2009. 

This is the tactic of a 5 year old.  If you don't allow me to have that toy, I'm going to hold my breath forever!  Then you'll be sorry! 

It's similar to Obama pushing for a quick resolution with the healthcare bill.  We MUST do it before August 1st, before recess, because once it hits recess, it's time for the swingset.  You all want to swing on my swingset, right? 

I'm trying hard to stay away from politics, but this administration is getting a little tiresome.

Well guys, it's been good chatting it up with you on the X. 

The sooner they can shove this, along with healthcare down our throat they more tax money they can get from us and break us.  This also is not about the goo of the people but about power. 

I wonder if all those that bought into thinking this admin was moderate is now thinking they are a bunch of idiots?

If the bad guys were to bomb the UN building to bits, would we really have lost anything?

Maybe they should go hang out in a more friendly country, like say, IRAN.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
