Aruba Needs to Create Many Buffers in Order to Protect Tourists, Not just on the Ocean

Aruba plans to create a buffer zone on the water due to the “dangerous situations that take place along the coast daily”. If Aruba is looking to protect tourists on the water they may want to think about protecting them other places as well on “One Happy Island”.

Aruba may want to create a “buffer zone” as well at places like Carlos n’ Charlies between American female tourists and those in Aruba that prey on them. If they had such measures maybe da pimps would not make it a sport to prey on females like they had done “20 times before”.

 – dutch boys hang around the bar drinking beer, they aren’t up to “smooth talking” the girls. On Aruba there are a lot of hot tourist girls ready for a 1 night stand or holiday romance. If a girl doesn’t take to you you will realize this pretty soon and move on. It is a lot easier than in the Netherlands.

- American girls are the loosest/wildest of the lot, Joran thinks it is due to the fact that you can buy a drink here when you are under 21 (American drinking age). Joran says in Aruba you can order a drink if you barely are taller than the bar itself. (excerpt from JVDS book)

Or one can read Chapter 3 of Joran’s book: Going at out Carlos & Charlies.

As an aside, does anyone in Aruba have an forethought when they create service department names and acronyms? The name of the of the department that created the buffer zone is DIP? What’s next, the Aruba Sign Society?

Hillary and Bill Clinton Buying Property Overseas?

Gossip monger Liz Smith is reporting that Hillary Clinton, and her husband Bill, are buying property in the Dominican Republic. I am not the most astute political person out there, but wouldn’t you think that if you are running for President of the United States you would buy property in the United States?

I mean seriously, is this telling us that Madame Hillary could not find any property in her own country (or territories) that were good enough for her? If this is true it will have to be one of the biggest political blunders in a good long while.

NOW HERE’S a little flash! Bill and Hillary Clinton have their eyes on the ball when it comes to 2008, but in the meantime, has anyone noted that they bought a piece of beach property in the Dominican Republic right next to the beautiful domain of designer Oscar de la Renta and his wife, Annette? via the New York Post

Democrats Agree on $2.9 Trillion Budget, Tax Raises Are a’Coming

Well, all the talk of a fiscally responsible Congress are going the same way that the new Democratic Congress promised to be ethical. In a cloud of orgiastic spending on the backs of American taxpayers.

Remember when we said, sure you are mad at the Republicans but the alternative could be worse. Now the Democrats are planning a 2.9 TRILLION dollar budget, just a drop in the bucket. They are planning on paying for part of it by rolling back the tax cuts that were passed that have been creating record tax receipts for the government.

But as the Democrats like to kill the Golden Goose to satisfy their nanny state instincts, now they will propose getting rid of the tax cuts, undermining the economy, and creating more bloat and excess in the government.

Go fearful into the night, Americans, because it is going to get ugly out there soon.

The measure would also restore a “pay-as-you-go” rule that requires tax cuts or spending increases in benefits programs such as Medicare, children’s health care or farm subsidies to be financed by spending cuts or tax increases elsewhere so as to not worsen the deficit.
The budget plan is not binding but sets goals for subsequent tax and spending bills. It makes a statement about the priorities of majority Democrats and provides an early test for the party to prove it can govern.
Republicans said Democrats managed to project a balanced budget in 2012 only by assuming tax rates on income, dividends and capital gains revert to pre-Bush levels, costing taxpayers more than $200 billion in alone.  via Breitbart.

Rudy Giuliani Smack Down Response of 9/11 to Texas Rep. Ron Paul at Republican Debate II

For the most part the idea of having a debate this far in advance of any primary tends  to be  more or less a waste of time and just an opportunity for the MSM to have news created for them to rebroadcast. A debate  usually requires some back and forth banter between candidates, not what has become all to common these days of politicians spewing forth what their handlers tell them to say.  The idea of a debate one would think would be to set yourself a part, not go a long with the same repetitive response. However, every so often, for just a brief and shining moment the debate works. Rudy Giuliani’s response to Ron Paul should be a reminder to all that have forgotten just what took place 9/11/01 and who was responsible. Hear Rudy roar … Its about time.

That’s really an extraordinary statement,” Giuliani said, interrupting FOX News panelist Wendell Goler. “That’s really an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the attack of Sept. 11, that we invited the attack because we were attacking Iraq. I don’t think I have ever heard that before and I have heard some pretty absurd explanations for Sept. 11. I would ask the congressman withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn’t really mean that.” (Fox News)
