WyBlog Weekend Weather - Wet, Wild, Warm, with Wistful Wayward Wenches

The heat wave shows no signs of abating. Temps are supposed to top out around 105 today, and a repeat is on tap for tomorrow.

It's time to hit the beach!

Chris Christie unleashed his veto pen again, zapping a short-term homebuyer tax credit. The bill which passed the state legislature with bipartisan support would have granted a tax credit of up to $15,000 to buyers of new homes in New Jersey.

Yes I normally applaud any reduction in taxes. But these one-time credits, like Cash for Clunkers and the $8,000 federal homebuyer tax credit, only serve to accelerate existing demand. When they expire the market dries up.

Now if the legislature really wanted to stimulate a continued interest in home sales they should show up with a permanent mortgage interest deduction. I'd be all over that like white on rice.

Here's one from the ROPMA files.

Flight 93 Father: Ground Zero Mosque is the SECOND Mosque Being Built on a 9/11 Site. Yeah, most people don't understand the significance of that odious "Crescent of Embrace" taking shape in Shanksville, PA. Submission is the enemy of Freedom. Thanks to our politically correct overlords there's a whole lotta Submission goin' around.

Got an extra 30 grand burning a hole in your pocket? Mark August 4^th on your calendar, drop the cash off at the DNC, and head to real estate mogul Neil Bluhm's Chicago mansion for a birthday bash of presidential proportions. Yessirree, Barry O will be one year shy of the Big 5-0 and and he's gonna boogie down like it's 1968 in ole Chi-town. Tickets are on sale now!

Wanna bet Bill Ayers and the Chicago Seven make a guest appearance? Tear gas for everyone!

Lt. Col. Alan West is the quintessential patriotic American. He's running for Congress in Florida and he embodies everything which makes this country great.

"I don't see myself as African American, Black American. I see myself as an American."

Shirley Sherrod and Ben Jealous should write that down.

Remember when I warned you guys about the massive pending Obama tax hikes expiration of the Bush tax cuts? Bob Belvedere and The Reaganite Republican take some small measure of solace in knowing that Limousine Liberals will get socked the hardest.

So limousine liberals, you had your fun... and probably almost broke your arm patting yourself on the back after you went out and cast your vote for Obama. Now you self-righteous posers are getting what you deserve.... Dear Leader is going to tax the crap out of you.

Florida Vietnam Vet Carlisle Vereen: 1, pinhead homeowner's association: 0. Mr. Vereen taped an American Flag to the inside of his apartment window. The management company promptly informed him of their regulations prohibiting "signs" on doors and windows. Old Glory is a "sign"? Why yes, it's a "sign" of what makes this country great.

"I fought for that flag," the Vietnam veteran CFNews13.com. "I've bled for that flag. My father fought for it, my brother fought for it and my son fought for it in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Faced with mounting bad publicity the management relented. They even brought Mr. Vereen a brand new 6 foot flag and pole and encouraged him to fly it from his patio.

Long may she wave sir, O'er the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.
