"Mini-Brain in Charge!"

I don't know how many of you have seen the "Austin Powers" movies; but take it from me, they are very funny. They are a satire of the James Bond and spy genre movies. They say all the things we have thought at one time or another while watching James Bond. The villain would always have Bond in some horrible torture device that was intended to kill him, but he never remains to see if Bond is killed. The villain never does the most obvious thing; he never chooses to just shoot Bond in the head. The villain in the Powers movies is "Doctor Evil" (he spent eight years in evil medical school). Alongside Doctor Evil sits Mini-Me, a tiny clone of the Doctor; just as evil, but on a smaller scale! Mike Myers is the comic genius who created the Austin Powers character, along with Doctor Evil and Mini-Me. If you have never seen these movies, I urge you to give them a look; you will laugh!

I've gotten quite a bit of mileage out of Obama's SOLYNDRA scandal lately, as it just continues to get worse and worse as the levels of ineptitude are revealed. The "green initiative" is turning into a "moldy green initiative", as it rots around Barack Obama.

SOLYNDRA and some of its large money wasters that accompany it in this terrible squandering of taxpayer's money cause us to want to pull the hair from our collective heads. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been mentioned in several of these "green debacles". We have a danger here, as we may become callous to the "small thefts" from our "green movement".

About two weeks ago, another "small scandal" was uncovered; by small, I mean it was under a million dollars; this is small by government standard as our government like to waste our money on a much grander scale. A company in Tennessee called Mountain Plaza received $424,000 in government stimulus money, and they have gone totally bankrupt! This company was to use these funds for electrical hook-ups at a truck stop in the city of Dandridge, Tennessee. The reason for this was so the truckers wouldn't run their engines at the truck stop and save on diesel fuel. This may have been a good idea; I don't know. The real mystery behind all of this is that the Mountain Plaza project went out of business before they were issued the $424,000!!

I believe sometimes stupidity should be considered a crime! I know this isn't 528 million dollars like SOLYNDRA, but it still bothers me. I would like a check for $424,000; to me, this is a pretty nice check to get for screwing up; especially if you receive it after you did the screwing up!

How much more will we put up with from the Obama administration? How many more tax dollars will we see thrown away because of ineptitude or worse? Obama now asks for more money and higher taxes. Why? Has Mr. Obama found some new ways to make our taxpayer dollars evaporate into thin air? I don't believe America can stand four more years of Mr. Obama's method of saving the American economy; do you?
