Highest.  Deficit.  Ever.  The White House announced yesterday that the 2009 budget year projected deficit will be a record $482 Billion(click here for full story).  That’s Billion with a B and at 482, it is damn close to a half a trillion dollars.  The report also noted that the deficit will represent 3.3% of the US GDP, not nearly as bad as 1983.  The total revenue (i.e. money that the government pulls in via taxes and other means) is projected as $2.7 trillion.  That means that a deficit of $482 billion comes out to a 17.8% budget over-run.  As a person who deals with budgets at work quite frequently, I would be fucking fired if I was over budget by anything close to 17%.  And yet somehow everybody just shrugs their shoulders and say “it’s no big deal, we’re the biggest economy in the world”.  We’re a bunch of fucking idiots is what we are.  The most ironic part of this is the Republican party is supposed to be the small government conservative party.  Bullshit.

I received the Excellence in Blogging award from two visionary individuals recently, Hungry Mother and Mike the Spazoid.  Like I need them to tell me how much I rule?  Well, it turns out that I do need the recognition from time to time.  It all goes back to when I was a freedom fighter resisting this evil despotic empire (no it wasn’t Bush and Cheney, but thanks for asking).  We fought these asshole fascists for years, and finally blew up their testicle-like base in this amazing battle, so evil was finally punished and good prevailed.  BUT, when the time came to hand out the rewards and recognition, was there any room to recognize this hairy beast?  Hell no.  Those fucking choads took all the credit even though they bitched and moaned the whole way through the battle and training.  Fucking whiners.  But I got back at them.  I’m not particularly proud of this, but I banged their bitch, and it turns out that she was the sister of the one dude!  How heinous, and he totally slipped her tongue, I don’t know how he didn’t kill himself after that one.  We still rip on that little bitch for that.  Photographic evidence below… oh yeah, thanks for the blog award bitches…

A woman ahead of her time, Stealth, has recognized my greatness and awarded me the “you make me smile” blog award.  This award will look fantastic next to my self-awarded recursive blog award (which I think I’m in the running for again this month by the way).  I would like to thank, well, me.  Good job you, you rule.  Oh yeah, thanks Stealth, you rule too!

I’ve noticed quite a few blog awards floating around the blogosphere that recognize achievement, creativity, or whatever.  I or my humble blog have not received any awards until now.  I am pleased to announce that I have awarded myself the first Recursive Blog Award.  This award recognizes the fact that I rule and that it should be acknowledged (by me) that I rule, hence the recursive nature of the award. 

If you also rule, and have the balls or ovaries, go ahead and award yourself something.  That rules too.  Or not, what-the-fuck-ever.
