(Weekly Standard)  On Friday, the U.S. Dept of Agriculture quietly released new statistics related to the Food Stamp program officially known as “The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” (SNAP) the numbers are staggering and reveal that in 2012 the food stamp program was the largest ever with an average of 46.6 Million Americans receiving food stamps.

The state with the highest number of participants per month was Texas with an astounding 4,038,440 people drawing from the program the second highest was California with 3,964,221 which isn’t at all surprising given that the state spent some $832,000 in 2012 on advertising the program on radio in hopes of increasing the number of persons signed up for food stamps.

According to the L.A. Times in January, the radio commercials in California are credited with helping the state add 289,000 to the food stamp rolls.

Indiana, College Aged “Schmuck” Samuel Hendrickson Goes on Anti-Asian Rant

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Samuel Hendrickson

(Gawker) Almost two years to the day that now former UCLA student Alexandra Wallace posted a YouTube video of her own anti-Asian rant, another university student is learning an important lesson about being a racist and then posting it online for the world to see.

Indiana resident Samuel Hendrickson, 8 Asians reports uploaded a four and a half minute video to his Facebook page this week, listing 10 reasons why he’d hate to be Asian:

  • Most Asians look alike
  • If he was an Asian man, he’d likely be with an Asian Woman (and he doesn’t find Asian Women attractive)
  • Sweatshops Suck
  • Smoking pot while Asian would make his already c**nk eyes close completely
  • He sucks at Math
  • The only way that you can be in show-biz if you know Kung Fu or you play an Asian mobster
  • He’d be short
  • He hates Sushi and it would be everywhere if he was Asian (he throws in a nice word “Oriental” during this segment
  • Asian males don’t have a good rep–schools don’t accept them any more than white males…
  • Asians blur their porn

Hendrickson subsequently “apologized” on his Facebook page (which he’s taken down) claiming that it was all a joke.

Pelosi: “Tax Cuts Are Spending” Don’t You See?

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Nancy Pelosi

(CNS News) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed this week that the government must cut spending and then (tried) explaining that “Tax cuts are spending.”

“Our whole budget is what $3.5 Trillion–so when we talk about reducing spending we certainly must and we certainly have–$1.6 Trillion in the previous Congress…Spending is also related to tax cuts, tax cuts are spending…”

I don’t get it.

The Weekly Standard explained in December that the $1.6 Trillion tax hikes (which Pelosi calls spending cuts) a mere $400 Billion was used for deficit reduction–that sum quickly would be eaten up on interest alone on our out of control  $16.67 Trillion federal deficit.
