Today on the show I played an audio clip of a caller to the Mike Savage Show.

While doing show prep I ran across this piece from the Mackinac Center with their nominees for the worst government services. You may have your own, especially with what’s going on in the Gulf of Mexico (Dept. of the Interior, Corps of Engineers, etc.). Here’s their list, you may want to add your own favorites.

Nominees for Top 5 Worst Government ServicesBy Jarrett Skorup | June 21, 2010
To qualify for an award the nominee must be government run, backed or financed, and fail a “Yellow Book” test, meaning that if a private company found in the Yellow Pages can do the work, the government should get out.

The nominees are, in reverse order:

5.  Veterans Hospitals

Long waiting lists, doctor shortages, massive inefficiency and cost increases are characteristics usually associated with socialized health care systems like those found in Canada and Britain. Yet this country has its own domestic version.

The VA runs more than 1,400 hospitals, clinics and nursing homes nationwide. With an annual budget of nearly $100 billion, its inflated bureaucracy seems to become less efficient every year. The department recently began asking veterans to pay for more of their care out of pocket.  Why?  The Cato Institute’s Jim Powell explains:

One reason is that officials are spending other people’s money, so they tend to have ambitious spending objectives. Also, as government grows bigger, the competition for appropriations becomes more intense. By proposing to start new programs and expand old programs, [the government] virtually guarantees that more programs will be under resourced
Perverse incentives make private insurance no paragon of value, yet the presence of competition does ensure better service for lower prices than government-run systems.

4.  U.S. Post Office

“UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. . . It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.”

The words are not those of a radical free-marketeer, but President Barack Obama. Despite massive subsidies and a virtual monopoly on first-class mail, the Post Office still manages to lose billions of dollars every year.

Economist Justin Ross points out that for 44 cents one can either mail a letter through the USPS — or buy a kiwi fruit “grown and watered in New Zealand, picked, carefully packaged, and shipped across the world to a store near you.”

Is the Post Office still needed? UPS and FedEx are both in the Yellow Pages, and deliver everywhere.

3.  General Motors

Since becoming the second-largest industrial bankruptcy of all time and receiving a $50 billion taxpayer bailout, General Motors remains in trouble despite the spin. Fortune Magazine’s Shikha Dalmia writes:

GM boasts that, because it is doing so well, it is paying the $6.7 billion five years ahead of schedule since it was not due until 2015. So will there be an accelerated payback of the rest of the $49.6 billion investment? No. That goal has been pushed back, as it turns out…GM Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell, when queried about that timeline a few days ago, demurred. The offering will be made, he said, “when the markets and the company are ready.”
Columnist Mark Steyn once explained, “The UAW is the AARP in an Edsel: It has three times as many retirees and widows as ‘workers’ (I use the term loosely). GM has 96,000 employees but provides health benefits to a million people.”

And that was before the bankruptcy and bailout.

2.  The Public School System

Since 1965, the U.S. federal government alone has spent $1.8 trillion on K-12 education without generating any improvement in reading, science or math test scores. Spending is triple today what it was in 1965 when adjusted for inflation, and increased nearly five-fold since World War II.

Education scholar Andrew Coulson writes:

Meanwhile, education economists have spent the last several decades finding out what actually does work in education. They’ve compared different kinds of school systems and it turns out that parent-driven, competitive education markets consistently outperform state monopoly school systems like ours.”
And that’s not even considering higher education, which has increased several times above inflation for decades.

1.  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Arguably, no institutions contributed more to the recent mortgage meltdown and subsequent recession than these two government-sponsored entities (GSEs). Collectively they own more than half of the bad bank loans, have cost tax payers $145 billion and counting, have lost money for 11 straight quarters, and yet still managed to persuade the same members of Congress who previously enabled and benefited from them to approve unlimited taxpayer bailout funds as far as the eye can see.

In just the past week, both mortgage giants have requested upwards of $10 billion each. The Wall Street Journal editorial board writes:

The losses are unlimited because the companies are now run by the government not to make money, by deliberately subsidizing housing. In yesterday’s press release, CEO Mike Williams didn’t even pretend that he’s running a profit-making business. “In the first quarter we continued to serve as a leading source of liquidity to the mortgage market, and we made solid progress in our ongoing efforts to keep people in their homes,” he said….In case anyone still hasn’t gotten the joke, the company also clarified yesterday that its directors “are not obligated to consider the interests of the company” unless the government tells them to do so.
These government operations are all strong contenders, but the nominations are still open. Ours is a large and growing welfare/regulatory state, and certainly contains many more operations that at least deserve honorable mention.

The polls are open, I was voter #34 in my Precinct in Taylors at 7:30 this morning. Can Nikki Haley hang on to her big lead over Gresham Barrett in  the GOP Governor’s race?

A lot of charges thrown around in this particularly nasty campaign. It’s always a subject of fascination to the media that religion plays a role in politics, especially here in the South.

I was interviewed late last week for a story that ran today in the Wall Street Journal about the Haley-Barrett battle.

Here’s a link to the story.

Thanks for voting today!

I ran across this today while doing show prep and thought you might enjoy it.

I’ve had a golden retriever named Miss Magnolia, but that’s about as wierd as our pet names get.

Check these out.

There are some pet owners for whom common names like Spot or Fluffy just aren’t good enough for their special furry friends, so they come up with some unusual monikers for them. Veterinary Pet Insurance Co., the country’s largest provider of pet health insurance, scoured its database of more than 485,000 insured pets and came up with its third annual picks for the 50 most unusual dog and cat names. The top 10 are:

Dogs:

Pickle Von Corndog
Lord Chubby Pruneface
Badonkadonk
Ninjastar Dangerrock
Molly Mcboozehound
Dog Vader
Flopsy Squeakerton
Bettie Poops
Geez Louise
Barnaby Bones
Cats:

Purr Diem
Bing Clawsby
Cleocatra
Admiral Pancake
Optimus Pants
Chairman Meow
Boo Manchu
Watts in a Name
Chenoa Azure Marshmellow-Puff
Senor Nachos

I shared an email I’d received from an engineer speculating about the possibility of sabotage in the Gulf oil rig explosion. I don’t have the technical expertise to know if what he says is correct, or possible, but in the interest of sharing information I agreed to post it here in my blog without endorsing or rejecting his speculations.

Petroleum Engineer -Gulf Oil Rig Intentionally Sabotaged

June 15, 2010

I CALLED THE ALEX JONES SHOW ON JUNE 10, 2010, TO SHARE SOME TRUTHS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE GULF OIL DISASTER.

LINDSEY WILLIAMS WAS ON THE SHOW SHARING INFORMATION THAT HE RECIEVED FROM HIS ILLUMANTI FRIEND.  THIS WAS WHEN MY CALL WAS TAKEN.  AS I STATED, I WAS A PETROLEUM ENGINEER AND WORKED FOR HALLIBURTON AND BJ HUGHES ( THE OIL AND GAS SIDE OF HOWARD HUGHES COMPANIES).   AS SOON AS THE GULF INCIDENT HAPPENED I TOLD MY WIFE AND FRIENDS THAT THIS WAS A SET-UP. GOLDMAN SACHS SELLING THEIR BP SHARES DAYS BEFORE THE DISASTER, NOT TO MENTION THE HEAD OF BP SELLING OVER A THIRD (3rd)OF HIS STOCK.   WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT UNLESS THEY HAD INSIDE INFORMATION.   LINDSEY WILLIAMS ILLUMINATI FRIEND CLAIMS THAT IT WAS AN UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT.  BALONEY !!   EVEN HIS “FRIEND” DOSEN’T SHARE THE WHOLE TRUTH.   STATE PENSION FUNDS ARE LOADED WITH OIL AND GAS COMPANY STOCKS.   WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN NOW ?   PEOPLE BOYCOTTING BP GAS STATIONS AND BP’S STOCKS ARE GOING DOWN WORLDWIDE.

NOW, ABOUT THE DRILLING DEPTH….. WHAT WAS BEING TOLD TO THE MEDIA AND OTHERS WAS A LIE.   THEY STATED THAT THE DEPTH WAS 13,000 FEET PLUS 5,000 FEET OF WATER.   WE HAVE SINCE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS 30,000 FEET BELOW THE SEA BED.   THE RIG BLOWING-UP AND CATCHING FIRE, WAS A CLUE THAT ALERTED ME THAT THINGS BEING TOLD WERE NOT ACCURATE.  THERE WAS A MAJOR COVER-UP GOING ON.  

IT WAS REPORTED THAT AROUND 11:00 am, THE TOOL-PUSHER (THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THE RIG) HAD A HEATED ARGUEMENT WITH THE OIL COMPANY REPS. ABOUT USING (SALT WATER) INSTEAD OF DRILLING MUD TO DRILL THE WELL DEEPER.  DRILLING MUD IS USED BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF IT CAN BE ADJUSTED  BASED ON THE PRESSURES THAT YOU COME UP AGAINST WHEN DRILLING.   THE DEEPER YOU GO, SOMETIMES YOU WILL HIT GAS POCKETS AND THE WEIGHT OF THE MUD PLUS HOW MUCH OF IT IS IN THE PIPE CREATES HYDRO-STATIC WEIGHT AND THIS HELPS PREVENT BLOW-OUTS.  THEN ABOUT 11:00pm, OR ELEVEN HOURS LATER THE RIG EXPLODED KILLING (11) ELEVEN RIG HANDS.  11, 11, 11, STRANGE…..

THEN THERE ARE ALSO BLOW-OUT PREVENTERS, CHECK VALVES AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT TOOL-PUSHERS CAN USE TO MAKE SURE BLOW-OUTS DON’T HAPPEN.  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE BLOW-OUT PREVENTERS FAILED …THAT THEY COULDN’T GET TO THE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE IT.  THAT IS BULL.  THERE ARE GAS SNIFFERS AND ALL SORTS OF PRECAUTIONARY DEVICES THAT ARE ON THESE RIGS. THESE ARE CHECKED DAILY BY THE CREWS AND HAVE TO BE SIGNED OFF ON WHEN THEY WERE INSPECTED AND WHO DID IT.  

A TOOL-PUSHER DOESN’T GET TO THAT POSITION UNLESS HE HAS WORKED ON RIGS FOR YEARS AND STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM UP, AND KNOWS EVERY JOB ON THE RIG.  I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY HE LISTENED TO THE COMPANY REP OR ANYONE ELSE WHEN IT CAME TO SAFETY OF HIMSELF, HIS MEN AND THE RIG.   I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE 11 OTHER MEN ASKED TO LEAVE THE RIG AND THEY BROUGHT IN 11 REPLACEMENTS.  BP PUT MONEY AND PROFIT AHEAD OF SAFETY.   THERE WERE REPORTS OF PROBLEMS 3 TO 4 DAYS BEFORE THE WELL BLEW-OUT.  THEY OR SOMEONE WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.  EVERYTHING WAS PURPOSELY DONE TO CAUSE THIS DISASTER.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AT 5,000 FEET DOWN IN WATER YOU HAVE UNBELIEVEABLE PRESURE THAT CAN CRUSH SUBMARINES, PLUS THE TEMPATURE LEVELS AT THAT DEPTH CAN BE AS LOW AS BEING ON MT. EVEREST.  EXAMPLE : THEIR FIRST TOP KILL FAILED BECAUSE THE CONCRET FROZE AND THE CAP BROKE APART BECAUSE OF THE FACTS STATED ABOVE.  ANYONE WHO HAS DRILLED IN THE GULF SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE CONCRETE WOULD FREEZE AT THAT DEPTH.    WHILE ALL OF THIS PLAYING AROUND IS GOING ON, THE WELL HEAD (OR WHAT IS LEFT IT) IS GETTING BIGGER BECAUSE THE SEDIMENT AND SAND COMING OUT OF THE WELL HEAD IS ACTING AS A SANDBLASTER   IF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, THE PRESURE AT THE WELL HEAD HAS NOT DECREASED BUT IS GETTING STRONGER EVEN THOUGH THE HOLE IS GETTING BIGGER. IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. LIKE PUTTING A NOZZEL ON YOUR WATER HOSE. SMALLER HOLE, MORE PRESURE, LARGER HOLE, LESS PRESURE.   THAT’S NOT HAPPENING….

LINDSEY WILLIAMS STATED THAT WHEN THEY STARTED TO PUMP MUD DOWN TO KILL THE WELL, THAT THEY WERE USING 30,000 HORSE POWER PUMPS AND THEY CAME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A CRACK OR SEPARTION OF THE PIPE DOWN HOLE, ( IN THE SEA FLOOR ) AND THE MUD FRACTURED THE SEA BED MORE THAN WHAT WAS ALREADY DONE BY THE BLOWOUT.  THAT PIPE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CEMENTED IN FROM THE SEA BED DOWN TO WHAT EVER DEPTH THEY HAD SET THE PIPE BEFORE DRILLING DOWN FURTHER.   ALSO NO “O” RINGS WERE PUT IN THE PIPE TO SEAL THE PIPE CONNECTIONS.   THIS STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.   THEY CUT CORNERS DELIBERATELY AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.  SURVIVOR INTERVIEWS STATED THAT THEY TALKED SAFETY FIRST BUT, PUSHED THEM TO CUT TIME AND COST OR THEY WERE OFF THE RIG.

LINDSEY WILLIAMS ALSO STATED THAT HE WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKE A SPIDER WEB OF FRACTURES IN THE SEA BED AND AS MANY AS SIX (6) PLUMES COMING FROM FISSURES IN THE SEA FLOOR. THAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY (FRACKED) BROKE OPEN THE SEA FLOOR WHEN THE WELL BLEW OUT AND THEN EVEN MORE WHEN THEY PUMPED DOWN ALL THAT MUD THAT WENT OUT THROUGH THE BROKEN OR CRACKED PIPE APPROX. 1000 FEET BELOW THE SEA FLOOR THUS CAUSING THE SPIDER WEB OF FRACTURES TO INCREASE AND SPREAD OUT ALLOWING MORE GAS AND OIL TO COME TO THE SURFACE OF THE SEA FLOOR. 

ALL THE WHILE BP HAS BEEN USING HIGHLY TOXIC DISPERSANTS TO HIDE HOW BAD THE DISASTER TRULY IS.  NO UP CLOSE REPORTERS, NO FLY ZONES OVER THE GULF, AND PRIVATE SECURITY PEOPLE RUNNING OFF ANYONE WITH A CAMERA OR ASKING QUESTIONS, AND THREATENING WITH ARREST.  DOESN’T LOOK TRANSPARENT TO ME.

I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE TAPPED INTO ABIOTIC OIL WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF GASES WITH IT.  THE PRESURE THAT IS PUSHING THIS OUT OF THE HOLE IS COMING FROM NEAR THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.  IT IS LIKE A LARGE OIL AND GAS RESEVOIR THAT KEEPS REPLENTISHING ITSELF SITTING ON TOP OF A VOLCANO. THAT’S WHY THE PRESURE DOESN’T DECREASE.  LINDSEY WILLIAMS STATED THAT HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS PRESURE WAS 70,000 PSI ( PER SQUARE INCH )WHEN THE WELL BLEW. 

THERE HAS BEEN TALK OF A NUCULAR OPTION.   LINDSEY WILLIAMS STATED THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERING GOING DOWN ONE OF THE TWO (2) ANGLED RELIEF WELLS THEY ARE DRILLING.   THESE RELIEF WELL ARE ONLY GOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE BECUSE BY DRILLING THEM YOU ARE GOING TO WIDEN THE ALREADY FRACTURED SEA BED.   IN OTHER SITUATIONS WHEN A RELIEF WELL(S)WERE DRILLED, IT WOULD BE DRILLED TO HELP RELIEVE THE PRESURE OF A BLOWN OUT WELL WHICH HAD DRILLED INTO A RESERVOIR.  

THIS IS NOT A RESERVIOR……   AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A RESERVIOR …..    

RUSSIA HAS DRILLED SEVERAL SUPER DEEP WELLS AND HAS RUN INTO SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
RUSSIA HAS USED THE NUCLEAR OPTION SUCCESSFULLY, BUT THAT WAS NOT THROUGH 5000 FEET OF WATER, THE DRILLING WAS DONE ON GROUND.  
WHAT THEY DID TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM WILL NOT WORK FOR BP BECAUSE THEY HAVE 5000 FEET OF WATER, PLUS THE WATER PRESURE, THE COLD TEMPERATURES, WELL HEAD PRESURES, AND ALL WORK BEING DONE BY ROBOTICS.

IF THEY WERE TO SET OFF A NUCLEAR BLAST TO CLOSE OFF THIS RUPTURE - THINGS WOULD GO FROM BAD TO WORSE. YOU COULD IGNITE THE GASES AND OIL AND BLOW OPEN THE SEA FLOOR, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE EARTH TO SHIFT OR CAUSE A WOBBLE, OR POSSIBLY A TSUNAMI.   WITH ALL THE EARTH QUAKES AND ACTIVE VOLCANOS WE’VE GOT GOING ON… THEN ADD TO THAT THE TECTONIC PLATES BEING AT THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER… YOU HAVE A MAJOR WORLDWIDE PROBLEM.

THIS WILL NEVER BE FIXED….

I HAVE SUGGESTED BUILDING A HUGE FUNNEL AND TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN ( LIKE THE TIN MAN’S HAT ) AND PLACE IT OVER THE WELL HEAD.  ATTACTCH PIPE TO THE SPOUT AND ALLOW THE WELL TO BLOW THE OIL AND GAS UP.  ONCE THE GAS AND OIL REACHES THE SURFACE; OIL GOES INTO THE TANKERS… GAS GETS BURNED OFF.  YOU COULD MAKE THIS FUNNEL OUT IF NON-RIP PLASTIC OR WHATEVER, AND USE THE SUBMURGEABLES TO TAKE IT DOWN TO THE SEA FLOOR AND OVER THE WELL.

IF IT WASN’T FOR THE FACT THAT THE FIRST TRUMPET JUDGEMENT HASN’T HAPPENED, I WOULD SAY THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TRUMPET JUDGEMENT THAT STATED: A GREAT MOUNTAIN BURNING WITH FIRE WAS CAST INTO THE SEA: AND THE THIRD PART OF THE SEA BECAME BLOOD:
AND A THIRD PART OF THE CREATURES WHICH WERE IN THE SEA, AND HAD LIFE, DIED; AND THE THIRD PART OF THE SHIPS WERE DESTROYED. 

I AM SURE THAT I HAVE PROBABLY LEFT SOME THINGS OUT BUT IT’S LATE AND I’M TIRED.   I HOPE PEOPLE CAN GET A PICTURE OF HOW BAD THINGS TRULY ARE AND THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER ANYTIME SOON.

Wow, what an election season. Naturally, I got a summer cold and laryngitis and had no voice on election day. It was comforting to see that the staff didn’t even need my expert supervision, they carried on without me and did a great job.

Now, we head to the run off elections, on Tuesday, June 22nd.

We are finalizing plans for 2 runoff debates, one for the 2 surviving GOP Gubernatorial candidates, Gresham Barrett and Nikki Haley and another for the 4th District Congressional seat GOP nomination, between Bob Inglis and Trey Gowdy. We had originally planned to have both on the same day, Friday June 18th but it looks like the candidates scheduling is going to require some adjustments. I’m working on those now and hope to be able to announce the dates and times tomorrow (11th).

We they are set, you’ll be able to sign up for a random selection drawing for seats at the 2 debates. We’ll have a special section on our website in the Election 2010 area.

I’ll let you know as soon as it’s up and running and you can enter for an opportunity to attend one of the debates, which will be in our studios.

Thanks for listening and for taking part in the process!
