HALF-FULL REPORT 02/03/12 |

Before we discuss who should be the HFR Hero of the Week,
today we're initiating its antipode:
designating the HFR Scum of the Week.
The hands-down winner this week is an evil, racist, corrupt,
lying, treasonous accomplice to murder who belongs in jail. Instead he's the most powerful law
enforcement official in the country as head of the Zero Justice
Department: Eric "I'm the Attorney
General of the United States, OK?" Holder.
He testified
at a Congressional hearing yesterday (2/02), once again refusing to accept any
responsibility or knowledge of his department's Fast & Furious gun-running
scandal that, had it been conducted by a Republican Attorney General would have
gotten him impeached and imprisoned long before now.
Holder's testimony was so disgustingly outrageous it
prompted the mother of murdered border patrol agent Brian Terry - murdered with
a Fast & Furious gun - to publicly label Holder a
joke and a coward. He is certainly
that and so much worse.

TEA PARTYING ROMNEY |

Thursday, 02 February 2012 |
I've been talking to a lot of folks here in Washington after
Romney's Florida romp over Gingrich on Tuesday (1/31). The consensus is that Mittens has sewn it
up. As Jack Kelly says, either Romney
killed Gingrich or Gingrich committed suicide, but either way Newton's
candidacy is a dead man walking. Romney
is the last man standing.
This is obnoxious.
The Gravy Train Party has triumphed over the Tea Party. Gravy Train Republicans pay lip service to "limited
government" as long as nothing actually threatens to derail the flow of
government gravy to their lobbyists and their perks of power. Romney is their guy. So what do we do? Are there any ponies in this giant pile of
horse manure?
Let's see, proceeding on the assumption that Mittens wins. The two biggest ponies in his pile are Marco
Rubio, who will be his Vice-President, and John Bolton, who will be his
Secretary of State.
Bolton would be our #1 SecState choice whomever would be the
Pub president. We would have the most
pro-American foreign policy of our lifetimes - and that certainly includes
Reagan's, for his SecState George Schultz fought the
Reagan Doctrine every step of the way.
Rubio would be our #1 VP choice whomever would be the Pub
president as well. It's the reverse of
Reagan-Bush. Romney-Rubio would be a
squish president and conservative vice-president. Rubio could do to the Romney Administration
what Bush did to Reagan's.
With Rubio, Tea Party Conservatives have the opportunity to
make a deal with Romney. It would go
something like this:

THE FARCE OF THE STATE OF THE UNION |
|
|
|
Written by Jack Kelly
|
|
Thursday, 02 February 2012 |
Congress
has a constitutional duty to prepare a budget, but hasn't for more than 1,000
days because the Democrats who control the Senate fear it would embarrass them
to put down in black and white how much they plan to spend, and how large a
deficit their spending will create.
Democrats
plan to shirk their obligation for another year, to give credence to Barack Hussein
Obama's plans to run against a ‘do nothing' Congress...even though the half of
Congress that's doing nothing is run by Democrats.
Not
so long ago, such blatant political maneuvering would have prompted howls of
outrage from press and public. But few in the news media mention it.
If
constitutional duties can be shrugged off so easily, may we -- since it is
merely a tradition -- also dispense with the State of the Union address'.

A TALE OF TWO PARTIES |
|
|
|
Written by Jack Kelly

Thursday, 02 February 2012 |
‘It
was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it
was the age of foolishness,' said Charles Dickens (1812-1870) in one of the
most celebrated passages in English literature. ‘It was the season of Light, it
was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of
despair.'
‘A Tale of Two Cities' illustrated how
starkly different were the views in London and Paris of the French Revolution.
There's a similar gulf between Democrats and Republicans on economic
policy. Particularly in state capitals
if not Capitol Hill.
To
get the economy moving again, increase spending, bail out failing businesses,
invest taxpayer money in ‘green' technologies, and redistribute wealth,
Democrats think. Reduce
government spending and debt, lower tax rates, slash government red tape,
Republicans think.
What
is Light to Democrats is Darkness to Republicans, and vice versa. Both
approaches have been tried. They've produced very different results.

OBAMA-IN-WONDERLAND ECONOMICS |
|
|
|
Written by Richard Rahn
|
|
Wednesday, 01 February 2012 |
President Obama
keeps demanding that the rich pay more because ‘it is only fair.' In his State
of Union address, he said millionaires should pay a minimum of 30 percent of
their income in taxes. The 30 percent number seems to have come from divine
inspiration rather than an exercise in logic.
When Mr. Obama
was asked about this during his first presidential campaign, he acknowledged
that a capital-gains tax increase might lose revenue, but he wanted it anyway
because of ‘fairness.'
So, according to
the president, it is ‘fair' that everyone has to pay higher taxes or have fewer
government services in order to make sure that high-income earners pay an
increased rate of tax for risking their capital and creating jobs. This is
perhaps the best description of ‘Alice in Wonderland' economics.

I'm
extending my holiday offer for coaching; see below for details - you won't get
a better price on personal coaching from me than I'm offering right now.
"Never
vow to give up chocolate..." Roy Baumeister, from his book "Willpower"
The accepted rule for losing weight is that you
should eat less, and exercise more. But when you eat less, there are lots of
things that happen to undermine this simple formula.
Today I want to give you
some much more workable ideas for developing a diet that you can live with
successfully. Let's start with what not to do:

HALF-FULL REPORT 01/27/12 |

Friday, 27 January 2012 |
Here's a quartet of choices for
who should be the HFR Hero of the Week.
When the week started out, the
choice seemed obvious: an extraordinary athlete
with the initials of TT. Not Tim Tebow,
however admirable he is. It's the
greatest hockey goalie on earth, who enabled the Boston Bruins to win the 2011 Stanley
Cup (he was named MVP), Tim Thomas.
Then on Wednesday (1/25), two
Republican governors came into Hero contention.
First is Arizona's with a name all tipplers admire, Jan Drinkwine Brewer
(yes, Drinkwine is her maiden name and she married a fellow named Brewer: how can you beat that?). You've all seen the picture of her telling
off Zero on the Phoenix tarmac regarding his attack on Arizona's attempts to
protect its border from illegal invasion.
The night before his tarmac scolding (1/24),
Zero delivered his pathetic SOTU speech to a bored Congress. The GOP response was delivered by Indiana
Governor Mitch
Daniels. This is worth reading
entire.
So who could give TT and these
two governors competition this week? We
don't know their names and never will, just that they are Navy SEALs.

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE? |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Thursday, 26 January 2012 |
Is there a road so long that, no matter how many times you
kick a can down it, you will never reach the end?
The answer is yes, there is - because the operative word in
the question is not "road" or "long," but "you." The game is to keep kicking your can down the
road until you're able to force others to make it their can, like taxpayers or
your children when you die. Another
proven successful alternative is to blame the existence of the can on a
scapegoat, like "the 1%" or "capitalism."
Most successful of all is to deny there is a can at all, and
demonize anyone who says there really is one.
All of these strategies work - until they don't. Reality exists, no matter how much people engage
in reality-denial. Thus the time always
comes when reality bites. So the
question we all need to face is, how much time do we have until it does?
For reality is getting ready to bite us all in our backsides
big time. When almost everyone engages
in reality-denial, the kicked can really does reach the end of the road, and
that's just about where we are right now.
Here are two screamingly unpalatable facts. The first is, the odds are growing now that
Zero will be reelected. The second is,
it may not make much difference if Zero is defeated.

CALIFORNIA IS OBAMA’S DREAM |
|
|
|
Written by Roger Hedgecock
|
|
Wednesday, 25 January 2012 |
I live in California. If you were wondering what
living in Obama's second term would be like, wonder
no longer. We in California are living there now.
California is a one-party state dominated by a virulent
Democrat Left enabled by a complicit media where every agency of local, county,
and state government is run by and for the public employee unions. The
unemployment rate is 12%.
California has more folks on food stamps than any other state, and seven income
tax brackets. In California, we hate the
evil, greedy rich (except the rich in Hollywood, in sports, and in drug
dealing).
But we love people who have broken into California to eat the bounty
created by the productive rich. California is also near fulfilling the environmentalist
dream of deindustrialization. All of
this is Obama's dream.

ARE WE OBAMA’S RATS? |

|
|
Written by Dr. Joel Wade

Obama's State of the Union Address last night (1/25)
was an Orwellian laundry list of plans to control every facet of every
American's life, couched deceptively in the language of liberty.
Cynically using Lincoln's quote, "That Government should do for people only what
they cannot do better by themselves, and no more," he made the case that
government should do just about everything - which tells you a lot about what
he thinks the average American can do for him or herself.
Obama's speech was full of contradictions and
oratorical sleight of hand. But manipulation is central to the liberal/progressive
agenda; it has to be, because those
who would provide us with their utopia have
to consider themselves above the rest of us in order to believe that they
have the vision to control us.
Such arrogance comes from the belief that human
beings can be studied as an objective phenomenon like lab rats, with statistics and
categorization substituted for the unique experience of each individual human
soul.

A CROCK OF OBAMA |

Written by Jack Kelly

President
Barack Hussein Obama has blocked construction of the Keystone XL pipeline,
which would have brought oil from Canada's tar sands to refineries in Texas and
Louisiana.
TransCanada
estimated it would have hired 13,000 Americans to build the 1,661 mile
pipeline. An additional 7,000 U.S. jobs would have been created in
industries which supplied parts. Keystone XL would have created up to
550,000 jobs by 2035, estimated the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The
pipeline might endanger the Ogallala aquifier, and the fragile Sandhills area
of western Nebraska, the president said.
This,
said the Wall Street Journal, ‘is a crock.' Blocking
the pipeline is ‘an act of national insanity,' said Washington Post economics
columnist Robert Samuelson, because from the standpoints of economics, national
security and environmental protection, it makes no sense. It only makes sense if Mr. Obama is being paid off to do so.

I WANT THE GUY WHO’LL BRING A BAZOOKA TO A GUNFIGHT |

Former
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has dirt on former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich that will keep him from ever becoming president. "There is something I know," she claims.
I
doubt it. Every bad thing that could possibly be said about Newt already
has been said. Which is probably why he
told her in response to "Put up or shut up."
Democrats
usually spring an "October surprise." If
the GOP candidate doesn't have a skeleton in his or her closet, Democrats make
stuff up, as they did with Sarah Palin. But what lie could they tell
about Newt that would be both credible, and worse than what's already out
there?
Baggage and all, Mr. Gingrich may be a better bet than any other
candidate running -- certainly including Mr. Zero. Here's why.

US FINANCIAL REGULATION NEEDS TO BE MORE LIKE THE CAYMAN ISLANDS |

Written by Richard Rahn

Tuesday, 24 January 2012 |
Last week, ABC
News ran a story that led with the statement, ‘Mitt Romney has millions of
dollars of his personal wealth in investment funds set up in the Cayman
Islands, a notorious Caribbean tax haven.'
What the
reporters failed to mention was that ABC, a unit of the Disney Corp., also has
millions of dollars in Cayman-registered funds. Probably most employees at ABC,
including the reporters who wrote the story, have some of their money in
Cayman-registered funds, as probably do many of you reading this column, even
though you don't know it.
This is how the
real world works. There is a very good reason why fund managers place a portion of their portfolios in the Caymans. It's that the Cayman financial regulatory system is far superior to America's.
