HUNDREDS Show up for THOUSANDS March

.
My math skills must be failing as I get older. But when the name of the event is,
.
"Historic Thousands on Jones Street"
.
I naturally go right to the conclusion, that THOUSANDS will be attending. Silly Me! Actually, several hundred showed up, but there were two good college b'ball match-ups on local tube yesterday, some of the interested parties might have missed the March.
.
Anyway, it was once again an effort to show how gub'ment's lack of money expended, time spent and generally abuse of the African-Americans is the problem. Regardless of the rest of the story, or rhetoric, THIS next paragraph is so obviously a bunch of (words you can't say in CA anymore) , that it's pitiful that people would still believe them.
.
Speakers and marchers stressed a connection between jobs, education and state's incarceration rate.
.
That's actually a single sentence, but when you read the article, you'll see that the writer or editor separated it and create a paragraph out of it. It's untrue or falsely strung together anyway!! And I'll dissect it to show how, I don't disagree with the idea, I disagree that GOVERNMENT is the problem or answer!
.
I'll admit that there's a connection, the more or better education you get and keep getting the better your jobs get. And when I say education I don't mean CLASSROOM time, I mean learning. We talked right here recently about this exact topic.
.
I'll admit that the majority of convicts / ex-cons I know have little education, formal or otherwise. BUT most of these clowns quit voluntarily or were expelled for breaking the rules. How is that the states fault or what can the state do to solve it?
.
I'll admit that incarceration rates among AA men are higher, but they are either committing more crimes or are dumber than the non-AA men about covering them up. Again, how can the state fix that? And I think it's the former cause, committing more crimes, not the latter, getting caught through ignorance.
.
But why should the NAACP expect the state to help them solve problems caused by a cultural affinity for 60% of births being outside marriage, a culture that loves and emulate thugs in entertainment and reality and where there are fewer and fewer nuclear families? In order to break the cycle, is the state supposed to FORCE them to marry, or abort children of un-married couples, force them to stay in school, force them to pull their pants up, turn their hats around, stop flashing gang signs and stop watching hip-hop videos full of near naked ho's, misogyny and gun violence? Yeah, that'd work for 2 seconds before the ACLU was screaming about free speech, artistic freedom and a return to slavery!!
.
But the truth is that until AA's attempt to reestablish a love for family, an acknowledgment that education is NOT lame and the law is NOT just for white folks, the NAACP will NOT make any headway. And if saying that makes me a racist, well then, so is Bill Cosby!
.
This article reminds me of an old Chris Rock joke,
.
"..if you call your grandma 'Mama', and you call your momma, 'Pam'...you're going ta jail!"
.
'nuf said, yo, I'm outty!

California Assembly passes resolution for Cuss Free Week
By Denis C. Theriault
Updated: 02/25/2010 10:55:51 PM PST

SACRAMENTO — Feeling a little salty, Californians? Better get it out of your system while you can.

Amid the ongoing — and occasionally tense — debate over how to clean up California's budget mess, lawmakers are trying to tidy something else, almost as unmanageable: our language. Thursday morning, the Assembly approved a ceremonial resolution turning the first week of March into "Cuss Free Week."

With the Senate expected to follow suit next week, all Californians will be asked to bite back on four-letter words and a few choice compound phrases. WT (bleep)?, you ask. Don't sweat: Police officers won't be waiting with soap. That's not the point.

According to sponsors of the measure — inspired by a Southern California teen whose creation of a "no cussing" school club sparked an international movement — it's more about minding the delicate sensibilities of those around you. Like your grandmother. "When we're at our grandmother's house," said Anthony Portantino, D-Pasadena, "we have respect and decorum."
~
Damn. How 'bout that shit. I thought that since this was born a 'free-speech blog '- this story was kind of interesting.

I mean - where's the diversity? Who judges what constitutes a cuss word?
Will 'Rap/HipHop' be out of business in CA for a week?

It's called GOLD stupid!

.
Head of IMF proposes new reserve currency
.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund, suggested Friday the organization might one day be called on to provide countries with a global reserve currency that would serve as an alternative to the U.S. dollar.

"That day has not yet come, but I think it is intellectually healthy to explore these kinds of ideas now," he said in a speech on the future mandate of the 186-nation Washington-based lending organization.

Strauss-Kahn said such an asset could be similar to but distinctly different from the IMF's special drawing rights, or SDRs, the accounting unit that countries use to hold funds within the IMF. It is based on a basket of major currencies.

.

If Mr Obama wants to become the best President EVER, he'll tell the IMF that we are returning to the Gold Standard and that we will acknowledge the price of gold for this to be $500 per ounce. OK best IS a hell of an exageration, but he'd gain a lot of good will doing this.

That would cause a huge ripple in world markets alright, not all of them good. But it would secure OUR country's financial health for as long as some idiot doesn't undo it. Money would flood back into the country and it would help banks payback any TARP funds.
.
Just one man's opinion, but not a man who's expecting such a move.

you think you have it bad in NY with 22" of snow???

here in SoCal we have Tsunami warnings!!!!!!!!!

thank goodness Obama's Homeland Security spent our hard earned tax dollars on Tsunami evacuation route signs!!!

"Imperial Beach spent $47,000 in grant money. San Diego County, $30,000. San Diego City has received $1,500 and may seek another $150,000 to protect us from a terrible tsunami."

Tsunami spending? Wave your money bye

WTF? Ooops!

Before i go out and try to get my car out from under 22+" of global warming, here's a little quiz for today.

How do you fix a state that is going down the drain faster than yesterdays bath water, that is ground-zero for communists, anarchists, atheists, radical social engineers, uber-Leftists, wild, militant gays, anti-American courts, and an endless array of totally off-the-wall goofballs. A state that allows violent illegal alien street gangs to control some of it's major cities, a state that believes those illegal aliens have more rights than it's own citizens, and a state that has a multi-face lift, broken-down old actor as it's governor? Whew!

Obviously, the only way to fix a mess like that is, to have your legislature ban cursing! No, that's not a typo. I'm sure that by now you've guessed we're talking about Mexifornia, God's little joke on the rest of us. You would think that under their current circumstances, the elected crooks who are partially responsible for Mexifornia's mega-mess would encourage people to curse, just to let off steam. Has it dawned on the elected lying crooks that if cursing is on the rise out there, that it just may be because of their incompetence?

So as not to upset our fellow Inferno'ites from the Left coast, i will also include my home town. Here in NYC, where rational thought and sanity on the part of politicians are also rare things, where we're also in dire financial straights, our mayor, "His Majesty" Bloomberg has decided that the best way to fix our mess is to, (you guessed it) raise taxes on alcoholic beverages! It hasn't occurred to our limp-wristed, mega-Billionaire "leader" that no one could endure living in this place without taking an occasional drink. And after he's made things like salt, sugar, trans-fats, tobacco, cookies, and donuts, all but illegal by taxing them into the stratosphere, he's now going after the next thing on his "i know what's best for you" list, as i predicted.

Personally, my Colt and i will take a "very" dim view of anyone messing with my Southern Comfort!

Surprise, Surprise

Do you remember one of last years major news stories, the one about the CIA and it's tactics when dealing with terrorists? The CIA stated, before congress, and under oath, that it had properly advised many members of congress about what they were doing. It was the story that made Queen Nancy Botox go on national TV (several times) and insult, malign, and accuse the CIA of being liars, stating that she was never informed. In fact, she said the CIA lies to congress "all the time"!

Well, i know this will come as a shock to you, but there is now "documented evidence" which shows that old Botox, and dozens of other elected, lying crooks, were in fact briefed by the agency heads, and on numerous occasions! So the broken-down, fake-faced bitch was lying through her false teeth, as most here assumed she was. I know we have truth-in-advertising laws, which are routinely ignored, but what we should have are "truth in politics" laws, where if an elected official is caught lying, they are taken out to the front of the Capital building, and promptly hanged. Nothing elaborate or expensive, just a tree, a rope, and a horse. Oh, and a TV camera crew so everyone can enjoy the sight of true justice...

Government Healthcare

A woman from Los Angeles , CA who was a tree hugger, a democrat, and an anti-hunter, purchased a piece of timberland, near Colville , WA .
There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch.

In considerable pain, she hurried to Mt. Carmel ER to see a Doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.

The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, What took you so long?
He smiled and then told her, Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area.

I'm sorry, but they turned me down.

US diplomats add a moat to their expenses at $1bn London embassy
Catherine Philp, Diplomatic Correspondent

The United States has unveiled plans for its new $1 billion high-security embassy in London — the most expensive it has ever built.
~
The new embassy, on a former industrial site behind Battersea power station known for its gay clubs, will be designed by Kieran Timberlake, the Philadelphia architect.

A moat 30 metres (100ft) wide and rolling parkland will separate the building from the main road, protecting it from would-be bombers and removing the need for the blast barriers that so dismayed the people of Mayfair.
~

A billion for a place in ghaytown. How thweet. Will there be moat-monsters to keep the ghays out? And: "Kieran Timberlake, the Philadelphia architect..."??? I happen to know for a fact that there are LOTS of architects in Philly. (But most of them are caught up in the high demand for designing local prisons!)

FYI - I also understand the Obummer Administration wants to put billions of $ of incentives out there for Big White Caulk... But that's a whole other story!

Global Warming in Austin

Our backyard - taken by Mrs. Jimbo, 02-23-10

Wishful Thinking?

As is becoming more evident every day, global warming is turning out to be "the biggest attempted theft in the history of the world"! Not only is the goal to steal and divert Trillions of dollars, but also to gain control over how most of the worlds people live their lives, especially here in Amerika. Most of the so-called "scientists" involved in furthering the scam have now been publicly discredited. Many have admitted to their part in the rip-off. But, as is typical of those on the far-Left, like our own fat Algore, they're not giving an inch, not when there's still so much money and power to be had.

Now, for the first time that i'm aware of, a member of the US Congress is calling for a "criminal" investigation! Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), a true patriot, is calling on the DOJ to launch an investigation into the lies, distortions, and possible criminal activity of those involved, including fat Al. Unfortunately, now that the DOJ is under the control of hand-picked, White House Marxists, i personally doubt this will go anywhere even though Inhofe is really trying. He's up against not only the WH, but the Leftist media, and those people both here and around the world who are waiting for a massive global-warming payday. The Left has never been known for letting facts stand in the way of getting what they want...

Marijuana use by seniors goes up as boomers age
.
In her 88 years, Florence Siegel has learned how to relax: A glass of red wine. A crisp copy of The New York Times, if she can wrest it from her husband. Some classical music, preferably Bach. And every night like clockwork, she lifts a pipe to her lips and smokes marijuana.

Long a fixture among young people, use of the country's most popular illicit drug is now growing among the AARP set, as the massive generation of baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s and '70s grows older.

The number of people aged 50 and older reporting marijuana use in the prior year went up from 1.9 percent to 2.9 percent from 2002 to 2008, according to surveys from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

The rise was most dramatic among 55- to 59-year-olds, whose reported marijuana use more than tripled from 1.6 percent in 2002 to 5.1 percent.

Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes in the future because of global warming, seeming to settle a scientific debate on the subject.

But they say there's not enough evidence yet to tell whether that effect has already begun.

.

Again we have top researchers who can't read a simple newspaper. And which debate does this settle? The one where non-academics wonder if "scientists" are living in the same world the rest of us inhabit? These are the same climate folks that warned those of us living in hurricane country, that we would have MORE and STRONGER storms just a few years ago, because of AGW.

After reading this moronic diatribe, I wonder if written in the margins of their interstate road maps, these "scientists" have "HERE be Monsters!" But instead of a dragon or sea serpent, there's a picture of a "scientist" with a rainbow coming out of his arse!

CPAC

.
FLASH!! CPAC attendees come to their GD senses!!
.
Ron Paul was the winner of the CPAC straw poll yesterday, beating Mitt Romney, who won the last three, including that all important one in 2008, before the 2008 Primaries. Many of us here think Paul is THE best national choice for President and supported him in 2008. Hopefully we'll see more of Ron Paul between now and the 2012 primaries. Enough, I think, to make him a viable candidate.
.
But look at the poll,
.
Paul won. Romney was 2nd, Palin was 3rd, Pawlenty 4th, and Pence is 5th. Query, how does Romney get in that group? And why, in the face of Town Halls and the Tea Party, would anyone vote for Romney? He's NOT what the people are looking for, and how does CPAC ever vote for Romney? I just don't see him as being all that conservative.

The Union Game

Fired Sheraton employees challenge action

BOYCOTT BACKLASH?
Four dispute being let go after protesting work conditions.
Anchorage Daily News staff and wire reports
February 20th, 2010

For more than 10 years, Lucy Dudek worked at the Sheraton Anchorage. This week, she and three of her co-workers were fired for trespassing, insubordination and other charges.

Their offense? While they were off duty on Feb. 2, they stood outside the Sheraton, passing out fliers to potential customers about a union-sponsored boycott of the hotel. The boycott began three months ago after Sheraton management imposed a heavier work load and more expensive family health insurance coverage.

The boycott -- one of two at downtown Anchorage hotels -- asks that potential guests not eat, sleep or meet there until the boycott is over.

Dudek and her union, UNITE HERE, say the Sheraton firings were illegal retaliation. They cite federal labor law that says workers have the right to hand out union literature at their workplace when they are off-duty.

~

Now - if I were to stand outside my place of business and basically call my boss an asshole and urge people not to do business there - I can honestly say I would expect to be fired. And if these people's boycott had actually worked, they would be endangering their jobs anyway - less customers means less necessary staff.

This is another fine example of why socialism doesn't work.

Healthcare is back, as if it ever left

So we were supposed to have televised discussions over healthcare. But BEFORE that happens, our current leader will, most likely, make an announcement that the two houses of Congress will opt for reconciliation of their individual healthcare bills. The lying, smarmy, socialist jerks.

Democrats are struggling to push healthcare legislation over the finish line in the face of sagging public support and solid Republican opposition bolstered by recent election victories in Massachusetts, Virginia and New Jersey.

The Enemy Within

Recently, i posted an article by a former high-ranking, and long-serving attorney with the US Dept. of Justice. Former, because he resigned. The reason he gave for his resignation was, that the Odumbo administration was loading the DOJ with radical Leftists, and anyone not part of that ideology was being pushed out. As an example of what these Leftists are up to, he cited the Black Panther voter intimidation case, where armed Black Panthers were seen threatening people at a voting place unless those people voted for Odumbo. In fact, one of the people threatened was a black lawyer from DOJ's "voter rights division"! That case was "handled" by the new Leftists, and it quietly went away. No one was charged or arrested, in spite of many witnesses and complaints, including the "signed" complaint from the black DOJ lawyer!

For some time, it has been rumored that some of these Leftist lawyers at DOJ were formally representing, either directly or indirectly, captured terrorists. Now those rumors have become a fact, and perhaps, just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not an attorney, but it sounds rather nuts to me to have these people in key positions, in one of the main agencies responsible for fighting the war on terror. Of course, if you're a terrorist, it's like being able to hand-pick the people who will be chasing you. If this were still America, this would never be happening...

HS Principal objects to student using corporal punishment on his 'pet' monkey!!

.
Pennsylvania parents are suing their son's school, alleging it watched him through his laptop's webcam while he was at home and unaware he was being observed.

Michael and Holly Robbins of Penn Valley are suing the Lower Merion School District, its board of directors and the superintendent. The parents allege the district unlawfully used its ability to access a webcam remotely on their son's district-issued laptop computer.

The lawsuit seeking class-action status was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The suit said that on November 11, an assistant principal at Harriton High School told the plaintiffs' son that he was caught engaging in "improper behavior" in his home and it was captured in an image via the webcam.

.
And we thought some of the other school districts were over stepping their authority, by suspending kids for their Facebook entries. These morons, literally, went "Big Brother" in this kids life.

I hope they send the Board and anyone who knew this was even a possibility to prison. Anyone who knew it could be done and didn't report it is also guilty IMHO. I believe that's knowingly hiding the possibility of an upcoming crime. Put them all UNDER the jail.

Patriots, or Fanatics? The Oath Keepers

.
I've never seen or heard of this organization before last night. But they are saying something openly, that I've said here time and again. Police, military and other "legal officials" will NOT take part in subverting our Constitutional Rights. I saw the founder, Stuart Rhodes, on O'Reilly last night. Rhodes is an ex-Paratrooper, and a lawyer and an ex-staffer for Ron Paul. The guy sounds like a radical NUT to me alright!!
.
Oath Keepers is a group of active duty police, National Guardsmen, veterans, Reservists, Firemen etc, who are reaffirming their original oath to uphold the rights in our original Constitution, in times of upheaval.
.
Going back to items we've recently visited, they are saying, we will not take guns from citizens, because of hurricanes or blizzards. Plus, protect us in other ways, during any real or contrived SOE. And we wo0n't round them up, or take their property. Again, I'm thinking they gotta be radicals with that thinking.
.
It's an interesting concept, and naturally, they are getting a bunch of flack. The 'Southern Poverty Law Center', says they are extremists, a sort of militia1 and liken them to the Aryan Brotherhood. They quote an unnamed gub'ment puke, sorry, official as saying,
.
.
Another federal law enforcement official knowledgeable about militia groups agrees. He asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to speak publicly about them. "They're not at the level we saw in '94-'95," he says. "But this is the most significant growth we've seen in 10 to 12 years. All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."
.
.
Threats and violence? From policemen, firemen, veterans and active military people, we can expect violence, based on what? I guess this guy was on vacation, on Venus, when SEIU thugs were beating the hell out of Tea Party people and Town Hall gatherers. And I hate people who are, "not authorized to speak publicly", but do so anyway. Who's more dangerous, the non-authorized speakers, talking out of turn and pointing fingers, or a guy deciding to defend the Constitution and the Citizens?!
.
I also find it odd that the SPLC thinks these guys are like the AB. How is it like AB? Where is the racist aspect of renewing the oaths taken? There was certainly nothing of racist content in the oath I took to join the Navy.
.
I think this movement scares people even more than the Tea Party. This is people, officially armed by the powers that be, deciding to protect the PEOPLE, the PEOPLE'S God given RIGHTS and not the "GOVERNMENT". And it's a stand, that I said, most of these guys would take, if the NWO, Obamanators, U.N., etc, TRIED to force us into some crazy, totalitarian, State of Emergency style government.

It's your turn, turn it on.

TX man flies plane into IRS Offices in Austin

Suffice it to say this guy had a beef with the IRS, he wrote a Manifesto. His writings say he was pissed at the IRS, the U.S. Government, and the Catholic Church. I guess one person dead and one missing, per Fox at 15:00 EDT.
.
The WH initially said it WASN'T terrorism. No, then what is it then, a tiff, a tantrum, a difference of opinion? It's DOMESTIC terrorism, aimed at people who work for the IRS, regardless of who they work for, they are PEOPLE, and he wanted to kill them. Once again the WH is wrong, wrong, wrong, on what constitutes a terrorist act.
.
Reports are, that he set his house on fire, with his wife and daughter inside. They escaped, thank God. Personally, I think he aimed at the wrong government building, he was off by several thousand miles.

Blog Business

Friends, neighbors, countrymen, fellow jerkazoids, & Pootsites;

I saw a short respite a few weeks ago where this blog was renamed to something like ‘3-guys bullshitting’, or ‘3-amigos’, ‘3-stooges’ or some-such. I silently approved though I disapprove of only "3". According to the thingy to the left - there are at least 23 of us.

In the continued absence of the founder (Annie/Kim our leather-bound former mistress; apparent purveyor of sexual pain), and in the spirit of we (you, us, and newbies), I vote we vote and tally and all that great sum-such – to take command of this blog which has been ours for a loooooooong time now. It is apparently under no obligation to the founding mistress; monetarily or otherwise... though I believe the new name (if one comes about) should honor her in some abstract way.

I believe it is time we give ‘leadership’ of this blog to one(s) who is (are) fiercely free, free minded, and present. This (these) person(s) should have time to manage and coerce, er… suggest. This (these) person(s) should be from our roots (Tongue-tied) and should be absolutely ‘edit free’.

Though I will cherish my Annie’s T-shirt to the end (You rule BOW!), ‘Annie’ is obviously gone. It’s time we take responsibility.

Your comments are, as always, excessively pissed upon. (Just kidding!)

Again - this is serious blog business.

Your comments are pure gold.

And as my experienced cousin says:
"You can get further with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word. Great danger lies in the notion that you can reason with evil."

The future awaits.

The Will Of The People? LOL!

As i've said before, one of the reasons the Left is usually so successful in getting their agenda moved forward is because, (IMO) they never stop pushing or trying. Even though the majority of Americans disagree with them, they still keep pushing their agenda down our throats, if not by legislation, then via some friendly court. This story shows us a prime example of how they demand that the will of the people be simply ignored and pushed aside.

This time it's Affirmative Action. Again. Not being satisfied that the courts, and more importantly, the people, have said NO to AA, radical Leftists are once again pushing to have so-called minorities given preferential treatment. As is usually the case when Leftists want to get their way, this new/old battle will take place on their home ground, Mexifornia, and more specifically, in the Peoples Republic of San Francisco. It's no accident that Leftists always end up in some Mexifornia courtroom, usually the 9th Circus. They know from experience that it's where they stand the best chance to get what they want, whatever that may be.

This article also sheds light on another of the Lefts favorite tricks, "create the impression that your numbers are far greater than they actually are". Back in the 60's, when the whole "black power" thing really got started, you would hear local agitators shouting, "Black Power"! After a while, they realized they didn't have enough numbers to really make a loud enough noise, so they started to include "Latinos" in their rants. I know from experience that generally speaking, blacks and Latinos are not known for getting along. But, the Latinos were used to create the image of a larger group. Now, as you can see from this article, it's "Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans". The image starts to look bigger, doesn't it. Obviously, the intent is, "the larger the group, the easier it will be get what we want". In fact, it's a trick used by many small animals in the wild. Make yourself look bigger than you are, and scare away the predator. And with animals, as with Leftists, it usually works.

Remember, if the 9th Circus, once again, rules that the will of the people is irrelevant and can be swept aside simply because of the demands of a few, their decision will be one that affects the whole country. We Conservatives should watch closely and learn...

Celebrity chef Beppe Bigazzi upsets viewers with his cat casserole

A top Italian food writer has been suspended indefinitely from the country’s version of the television programme Ready Steady Cook for recommending stewed cat to viewers as a “succulent dish”.
RAI, the public broadcasting network, said that it had dropped Beppe Bigazzi, 77, for offering the recipe on La Prova del Cuoco, which is broadcast at midday on the main channel. Its switchboard was inundated with complaints from viewers and animal rights groups. Bigazzi said that casserole of cat was a famous dish in his home region of Valdarno, Tuscany.
“I’ve eaten it myself and it’s a lot better than many other animals,” he told viewers. “Better than chicken, rabbit or pigeon.” He said that for optimum flavour the meat should be “soaked in spring water for three days” before being stewed.

On drawing the wrong conclusion

.
OK, here's an article about a bank in ND, it's a state run bank, started by a socialist, and the AP, thinks THAT'S why the economy is so great in ND. Read on,
.
It has no automatic tellers or drive-up windows, doesn't issue credit cards, and tends only a few thousand checking and savings accounts. Its only location is a glass, steamboat-shaped headquarters near the Missouri River, where the business moved from its original 1919 home in a former auto assembly plant.

The Bank of North Dakota - the nation's only state-owned bank - might seem to be a relic. It was the brainchild of a failed flax farmer and one-time Socialist Party organizer during World War I.

But now officials in other states are wondering if it is helping North Dakota sail through the national recession.

Gubernatorial candidates in Florida and Oregon and a Washington state legislator are advocating the creation of state-owned banks in those states. A report prepared for a Vermont House committee last month said the idea had "considerable merit." Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore promotes the bank on his Web site.

"There's a lot of hurt out there, a lot of states that are in trouble, and they're tying the Bank of North Dakota together with this economic success that we're having right now," said the bank's president, Eric Hardmeyer.
.
Anything Michael Moore is for, I question, and here's why. This article says, in roundabout ways, that THIS BANK is the reason ND is doing well. But, again, read on,
.
Hardmeyer says he's gotten "tons" of inquiries about the bank's workings, including questions from officials in California, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio and Washington state. North Dakota has the nation's lowest unemployment rate at 4.4 percent, soaring oil production and a robust state budget surplus - but Hardmeyer says the bank isn't responsible for the prosperity.

"We are a catalyst, perhaps, or maybe a part of it," he said. "To put this at our feet is flattering, but it frankly isn't true."
.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!! ND has OIL, and they ALLOW the producers to drill, pump and SELL the oil!! What a novel idea, selling the states natural resources. Geez, it's something places like CA, MI, and FL have STOPPED doing, and their economies are in shambles, especially CA. 4% unemployment, hmmmm, how could a bank cause that? State tax surplus?!! Hmmm, how does a bank cause that? And honestly, this guy saying he's a catalyst is BS too.
.
The catalysts ARE jobs, tax revenue from thriving businesses and people working paying into the system, not taking from it.
.
UPDATE: I just looked, last year CA had 24 banks failed, ND had ZERO!! CA unemployment rate 12.4%, ND unemployment rate 4%. CA coffers untold are (because they keep spending!) BILLIONS in debt, ND has billions in RESERVE, because they are NOT spending 112% of their revenue.

‘Oddball’ portrait of Amy Bishop emerges Suspect’s family, pals offer clues
By Laurel J. Sweet, Jessica Van Sack, Jessica Fargen and Ira Kantor
Monday, February 15, 2010
.
As authorities searched for clues into what could have sent a University of Alabama neurobiology professor on an alleged killing spree, friends and family yesterday described Braintree native Amy Bishop as an awkward introvert on the brink of losing her teaching job.
````
Police in Huntsville, Ala., charged Bishop, 44, with capital murder after she allegedly opened fire on six colleagues at a faculty meeting Friday, killing three. Afterward, she calmly called her husband and asked him to pick her up as if nothing had happened, said police Chief Henry Reyes.
“She was an oddball - just not very sociable,” said Sylvia Fluckiger, a former lab technician who worked with Bishop in 1993.
````
A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.
````

Let’s see – she shot and killed her brother, (maybe on purpose), she may have mailed a pipe bomb to a perceived enemy, she goes on a shooting rampage – yep, that has ‘Obamunist’ written all over it.

We've read in the past that liberalism is a mental disorder.

another freeloader

Obama's mother-in-law seems to like freeloading off the tax payer

FGOTUS

So, Let's Recap "2009".........what a year!

.
1. The American people inaugurate a half-black president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office.

The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated.
(honest mistake?)
.
2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm a black Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists..
(Another honest mistake?!)
.
3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere.
(There were socio-economic factors involved!)
.
4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for.
(You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still stinks!)
.
5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years.
(He misspoke!)
.
6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges.
(Another honest mistake???)
.
7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges.
Hmmm... another screw-up?)
.
8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct.
(Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)
.
9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes.
(I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!)
.
10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed.
(Ohh, I am getting a headache!)
.
All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . but who's counting?
.
America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges ; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!"
.
Congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV and go home and watch Telemundo!
.
Only with the Liberals...
.
Pray for our country. Here's the good news though - Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR.
.
Don't you just love hypocrites?
.
Speaking of praying, Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration.
.
He must miss Reverend Wright!
.
In these times 'I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money.
.
Anyone that supports this insanity can keep "THE CHANGE".

Another One Bites the Dust..Yeah,and another one does, and another one does...

.
OK, we're 9 months out from the 2010 elections, and a Democrat WHO WAS LEADING in the polls, withdraws his run for re-election.
.
US President Barack Obama suffered another setback Monday as a fifth Democratic senator, centrist heavyweight Evan Bayh, decided not to run for re-election in dismay at the bitter political climate.

Obama, who reportedly tried to talk Bayh out of retiring, faces a looming Republican resurgence and risks watching strong majorities in Congress crumble in November mid-term elections, and with them his ambitious reform agenda.

With his tearful wife and two sons at his side, Bayh, 54, expressed disenchantment with excessive partisanship in the Congress as he announced his decision at a press conference in the state capital Indianapolis.

"For some time, I have had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is too much partisanship and not enough progress -- too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving," he said.

"Even at a time of enormous challenge, the peoples? business is not being done."

Democrats expressed shock at the development, seeing it both as the loss of a key consensus builder in the Senate and of a candidate strongly favored to win re-election in Republican-leaning Indiana.

No Global Warming, since 1995!!!

.
As if no one would notice the rhetoric he spouted for the last 20 years, NOW, Professor Phil Jones is saying there's been NO global warming since 1995. Does this also mean that all the rules regulations, pacts, treaties etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum are to be recalled or killed?! I won't be calling my bookie to see what the line is on the big fight, Global Warming vs TRUTH.
.
Not only that, Prof. Jones thinks there may have been warmer periods, naturally warmer periods, than the warm period we are in, WERE SUPPOSED to be in, until yesterday when Prof. Jones changed his tune completely and utterly. In the UK and EU, the term U-Turn is being used for Prof. Jones changes.
.
There will not be a bit of backing down though, the hand wringers will simply change tactics, mark my words. Cap and Trade and the IPCC are not dead in the dust as they should be. They'll be like something from a George Romero movie, dead but still moving and devouring everything they can get their zombie claws into.

NASCAR 'Driving' Liberals Nuts

You want to make a liberal foam at the mouth?

Say the name Sarah Palin. That's all it takes. Liberals will wet themselves in a frenzy to discredit her and call her vile names.

Well, Sara was making the rounds even today:
~

Palin plays politician around Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)

Sarah Palin took a break from the snow and played politician on stock car racing's biggest stage.

Pretty important place on the political landscape, too.

The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor sped around Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, shaking hands and taking photos with drivers and fans alike before what she called the “all-Americana event.”

Palin said she was “having fun and not thinking about the politics of this,” but didn't miss the chance to energize her base in one of the most critical regions of the largest swing state.

“This is awesome,” she said. “It's all-Americana event. Good, patriotic, wonderful event that's bringing a whole lot of people together. I think this is good for our country.”

She drew roars from throngs of racing fans, many shouting “We love you, Sarah!”

Even some of the biggest names in NASCAR and entertainment couldn't resist her.

Seven-time Daytona 500 winner Richard Petty posed for a photo, singers Tim McGraw and Harry Connick Jr. greeted her, and everybody from Army members and Marines to autograph-seeking fans and kids in wheelchairs got hugs and handshakes.

Crew members on pit road even took a break from changing tires, some stunned to see Palin walking through their familiar domain before the race.

“If you run (for president) in 2012, you've got my vote,” one told Palin, shaking her hand.

You have to love it. I do. Can you imagine Obama at a NASCAR race? He-he-he-he-HAW-ha-ha-ha – just the imaginary image cracks me plumb up!

Doing the math on, "Doing the Math on Coupons"

.
This doesn't add up for me...
.
Clipping coupons hardly sounds like the subject of high finance–or even medium finance.

Save a dollar on cat food, some detergent or a couple of boxes of cereal. Who can be bothered? Who has the time?

A growing number of people, it turns out. And they're shrewder than it may at first appear.

The Great American Coupon is making a big comeback–thanks to the Great American Recession.

We redeemed some 3.3 billion coupons last year–a remarkable 27 percent leap from 2008, and the first year-on-year increase in 17 years, according to a report issued at the end of January by Inmar, a coupon-processing agent. (Online coupon use skyrocketed–companies issued twice as many as in 2008, but redemptions rose 360 percent.) The big upturn took off in October 2008, just after Lehman went belly up.

At first blush you can see why coupons fell out of fashion for so long–and why so many consumers still ignore them.

You have to make time to visit a coupon Web site or collect the flyers from your mailbox, the supermarket or newspaper inserts. You need to sort through to find the ones you want, cut them out, stick them in your purse or wallet–and remember to use them when you are at the cash register and you are trying to remember whether you bought everything on your shopping list and where you parked the car.

Average saving per coupon: Just $1.44, according to the Inmar report.

But let's treat this low finance topic for a moment the way we treat high finance. Let's subject it to the same math.

How long does it actually take to clip and use a coupon? Certainly the more you use, the less overall time you will spend per coupon, because so many of the costs–getting flyers, sorting coupons and so on–are generalized. Let's assume you spend a minute per coupon.

Saving $1.44 for a minute's effort is the equivalent of saving $14.40 for 10 minutes'.

Hourly rate: $86.40.
.
The article goes on to say that in order to NET that $86, you have to GROSS $123 in wages. But, is this math sound? Not to me.
.
Because I have the most free time, I do the cooking and shopping at my house. Truly, Mrs. Schteveo is NOT a food person. She'd eat PB & J and microwave popcorn if it wasn't for me. Not because she can't cook, but because she doesn't care. The running joke in our family is that dying and going to hell for me, would be coming back as one of her taste buds!
.
But, having said that, I know how to shop and do it cheaply. I generally buy name brands, but I rarely find coupons for the stuff I buy. Mostly I see coupons for specialty or prepared foods or frozen pizzas, etc., it's stuff I just don't buy. I use my store scanner cards EVERY TIME I go to the store though. With that, I save about 15% to 20%, and I don't have to clip or scan the newspaper. I also stock up, when stuff is on sale with said cards. I also shop at Sam's and BJ's, where again, buying in bulk saves me money. Recently, I started shopping at Aldi too, again, to save money. Overall, I save about 25% on groceries doing these things, I've tracked, I know.
.
But the point of this was to point out "errors" in math, I just needed to state MY system first.
.
I love the "math" here. It's like the Wal-Mart commercials that say shopping at their store saves $1000 per year on breakfast alone!! Well yeah, but their math is based on 4 people combined, eating ALL 20 breakfasts out, every week, of the entire year. Who does that?
.
Likewise, when I've tried the coupons a few times over the years, I've NEVER found $100 worth of coupons that I could use, never found coupons to be worth $33, that translated to that $100 on Triple Coupon Day, or found a need to buy Green Giant pre-made green bean casserole, Tombstone pizza, or Mrs Paul's Cheddar Crusted Fillets to use the coupons in the Sunday newspaper. Guess why? If I buy stuff with a coupon, that I WOULDN'T NORMALLY BUY, I'm not SAVING money, I'm SPENDING money. In other words, this is very fuzzy math, IMHO.
.
But, tell me what you think.

When in the course of human events...

.
I bet you thought I was going to do something about the Declaration of Independence, didn't you? Well, close, but no banana. This is my second attempt, in a few weeks, to get people reinvested in this blog. That's re-INVESTED, not re-INTERESTED.
.
I understand that many of us have LIVES outside the blog, a few of us have blogs outside the blog, some of us even have paying jobs. But there was a time, back when "Kim" first set up house keeping, that we were all quite active on bringing stories here from our own areas. Articles and news telling us the way things were in each of our towns. We need to get back to that. I understand that some members are behind fire walls at work, but you could throw us a bone from home occasionally.
.
The problem with just a few of us posting is that the blog gets stilted, and directional. I understand that it's a right-wing thing, but there's still wiggle room. I think we all learn, when we get more content, not less. It's hard for just 4 or 5 of us, to look at the world and post stuff the other may not have seen.
.
How about some of you who haven't posted in a while, find something to say. Or, if you've moved on from publishing or wanting to, at least say so, in order that we can see how many authors we really have today. And maybe we can get some new blood involved.

Harvard Hometown Plans Coercive Taxes, Veganism to Stop Climate 'Emergency'

By Joshua Rhett Miller

FOXNews.com

Congestion pricing to reduce car travel. Elimination of curbside parking. A carbon tax "of some kind," not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags. Advocating vegetarianism and veganism, complete with "Meatless or Vegan Mondays." Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Cambridge Climate Congress, an entity created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing the Massachusetts city.

~

*sigh*

Were these people born idiots, or did they get some kind of “you will be an idiot” education? The correct answer, of course, is the latter. HARVARD!

And how do these Harvard Twits plan to stop similar climate change on the other planets of our solar system? Is Earth the only one who’s “climate change” is due to evil man-made pollutants?

IDIOTS!!!!! Obama claims to have gone to Harvard – though we don’t (and never will) have definitive proof other than a photo shopped picture of a black face in a sea of white law students.

My God. Save us from the nitwits from Harvard and the stupid Obamunists in general. What crap!!

Do the world a favor. Slap a silly liberal HARD today.

HALLELUJAH !!

For the first time in 60 years, the country is finally cured of "the Kennedy virus" that has caused so much damage to freedom-loving Americans. Hatched from a bootlegger, this socialist family saw themselves as monarchs, with the never-ending help of their worshippers in the MSM, but now they're finished, now that the late Teddy (the killer) Kennedy's son, T K Jr., the drug addict and drunk, "has decided" not to run for re-election.

In spite of the medias attempt to create a rational reason for this useless mutt not running, the real reason is of course, "daddy's not there to protect him any more", and with Scott Brown's incredible win, even little Teddy is sober enough to see the handwriting on the wall. He knows that if he runs for re-election and has to stand on his own two feet, (for the first time ever) without daddy, not only would he probably get creamed, but the truth about his sorted life just might make it out into the public, something daddy stopped from happening.

The only one left is little Joe Kennedy, son of "MM's" other boyfriend, Bobby. (personally, i always thought he was gay) You know Joe. He's the one who does those commercials for his good buddy Hugo Chavez. Joe goes on TV trying to force Hugo's oil on us, while at the same time, giving Hugo a chance to get his hands around our throats. Of course, Joe is also deeply involved in all the standard EnviroNazi scams. Save this. Save that, while he enjoys life at his guarded compound or on one of his sailboats. If you've ever seen Joe speak, it's quite clear he's only an occasional visitor to this planet. But with that kind of bread, i doubt he cares.

So celebrate America, because now we can all feel just a bit more free...

Mr. Gallup shows much that we already knew

.
Here's a shock. A recent Gallup Poll shows that liberals are fond of Socialism, and conservatives are not.
.
More than one-third of Americans (36%) have a positive image of "socialism," while 58% have a negative image. Views differ by party and ideology, with a majority of Democrats and liberals saying they have a positive view of socialism, compared to a minority of Republicans and conservatives.
.
That's right, liberals have a favorable view of Socialism. Honestly, I have no idea how to make fun of this. I tried, but could not come up with anything crazy, weird or smarmy to say. I think I was partly thrown off my game by the idea that ANYONE who calls themselves a conservative, could have a POSITIVE view of socialism.

Fascism Marches On

For years now, the social engineers have been at war with anyone who dares to disagree with them, and their ideas of how we all should live. The more PC'ized we become, the more vicious that war is waged. Whether it's red meat, light bulbs, cars, trans-fats, alcohol, candy, soda, or their favorite, tobacco, the social-Nazi's, most of whom are on the Left, have decided they, and they alone, know what's best for us. They use fear, hysteria, intimidation, punitive taxation, and so-called "experts" to make their case, but rarely do they provide documented, scientific evidence to back-up their claims.

Now i'm aware this is not a popular topic since i assume most here are non-smokers. I am a smoker. I only smoke in my own home, or in my own car, or in places i know i won't be offending anyone. I don't do this because it's PC, but because i try to have consideration for others, even though when it comes to smoking, most have none for me.

IMO, this topic has less to do with smoking, and more to do with a persons right to make their own free choices. The same Leftist social engineers who say i don't have a right to choose to smoke, or eat red meat, or use "normal" light bulbs, will fight to the death to make sure a woman has the right of free choice if she wants an abortion, or the "right" of gays to marry. Strange, but oh so typical of the Left.

Some years ago, in an effort to add more fear and hysteria to the argument about smoking, the term "second hand smoke" was invented. Basically, it claimed that even if you don't smoke, you're still in danger. About two years ago, several highly-acclaimed scientific studies were released which said in effect, the claims made re: second-hand smoke are unfounded and baseless". Sounds a lot like the global warming scam, doesn't it. So what does the Left do when their scams have been shot down? They repackage them and re-attack. And because of that well-used tactic, we now have "third hand smoke"!

Now don't get me wrong. I am, in no way, trying to say that tobacco is safe from harm. That's not my point. My point is, even though we are now ruled by the Nanny State that knows all, have i lost my right to free choice? And if i have, (and IMO, i/we have) what will "they" decide is next? Another thing i've noticed is that none of the things the Nanny State has deemed "unhealthy, unacceptable, or un-PC" are things those on the Left enjoy doing. You don't see an effort to ban things like Tofu, soy milk, (can you get milk from a soy bean?) bean sprouts, sushi, or expensive bottled water. Apparently, it's only non-Leftists who engage in harmful behaviour.

IMO, the debate here is not really about smoking, or eating a steak. It's about rights and the freedom to make our own choices...

Hard Times? Where?

At a time when millions of Americans have lost their jobs, their homes, their life savings, and a lot more. While families are having trouble feeding themselves, rest assured that your elected representatives in DC feel your pain. Of course, feeling your pain doesn't mean they care about it. In fact, this article will show you just how much they really care.

It has become quite obvious that the only thing this government seems to be any good at is abusing and insulting the tax payers. When these lying, elected crooks stop to think of how the American people keep putting them back in power, no matter how much damage they do, who can blame them for stealing every dime they can get their hands on. When you rule a nation of people who are more interested in football game commercials and "reality" TV shows than they are in their own country, there's no reason to treat them as anything other than what they are.

One from MY Backyard...

.
OK, as most of you know, global warming is dead, dead, dead along the East Coast. We had record cold and record snows, with more to come. In a number of places here and elsewhere, a State of Emergency was declared because of roads and power outages. But here in NC, we have an "add on" top our SOE laws. If an SOE is ordered, it is ILLEGAL to transport guns, ammo and alcohol off your property or premises. It is likewise illegal to sell those items. This happened recently in King, NC, during the blizzard.
.
But doesn't that trump the 2nd Amendment, not to mention common sense?
.
If there is an SOE, and you are forced out of your home because of the SOE, you have to go UNARMED. It is a rule, I would gladly and openly disobey. Sound off, this has caused plenty of grunting here in NC to be sure.
.
Here's another thought to ponder though. On my local 'Rush Radio' station, 106.1 FM, they were also talking about this from a news worthiness aspect. The entire morning crew agreed, as do I, that 5 or 6 years ago, this story would never have become national fodder for reporting. But more people are aware of, and are standing up for, that silly keep and bear arms thing. And these stories get passed around and talked about because people do not trust the current leaders of our country. And before someone says, "...typical, redneck, conservative, racist rednecks, rednecks, rednecks...", I will remind you [el trollo] that this state is heavily dominated by Democrat voters. As are all the redneck southern states.
.
Get your talk on, I've got to go clutch my bible.

USDA announces Heffalump Breeding Office

.
The Obama Administration announced today, that the USDA will open a Heffalump Breeding Office in Ashdown Forest. The purpose of the office is to clarify and identify any possible long term needs or even necessities of breeding heffalumps, given the current economic boom in America. Director of the new department will be A.A. Milne.
.
Mr. Milne is a world renowned expert on heffalumps and will have responsibility for giving the American public the "relevant and timely information" about heffalumps and "to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives", with respect to heffalump breeding, sales and a possible heffalump futures market.
.
Economic boom? HEFFALUMPS!!?
.
Hey, it's no dumber than this. And there is no less fictitious a need, IMHO. Humble hell.
.
The Obama administration is in the process of forming a new government agency dedicated to addressing the impending doom of global warming:

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke today announced the intent to create a [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration] Climate Service line office dedicated to bringing together the agency’s strong climate science and service delivery capabilities.

Apparently there is a big demand from the American public for "relevant and timely information" about global warming "to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives"--such a big demand, we need a new government agency to manage it.
.
Do you ever question how these "woozles" ever got into control? I sure as hell do.
.
I watched "Seven Days in May" last night. May is coming and I hope "Gen. Scott" is alive and kicking at the Pentagon, I'm with him on this one!

United Nations = Self-serving Thieves

~
I've never met anyone who was a fan of the U.N. They have proven themselves crooks and liars - just like our own U.S. congress. From the 'climate change' farce to antisemitism; worthlessness is an inadequate description of the bastards.

Here's one to add to their well deserved reputation of black-hole thievery:

The United Nations’ World Food Program, or WFP, is preparing to launch a mammoth, three-year relief operation in Afghanistan this year for 7.4 million people at a cost of $1.2 billion — but less than half of that amount will actually go to purchasing food for the war-ravaged country.

The majority of the money — nearly $730 million — is being spent on shipping, land transportation, handling, office construction and U.N. staffing and administration costs...

~

Uhmmm... 7.4 million people fed for admin costs of 7.3 million. I've counted on all my fingers and toes... I've determined that if the U.N. will pay me $330,000 a year for three years to give food to one homeless person, (and they pay for the food)... I'LL TAKE THE FREAKING JOB! Where the f*ck do I sign up??

And what are they going to feed those people? Fillet-Freaking-Mignon and lobster?

The underreported story of the week

.
A group of Republican senators unveiled two new proposals this morning aimed at curbing the deficit and reducing government expenditures.

The measures--a one-year moratorium on earmarks and a constitutional balanced budget amendment--could require deep cuts in spending if enacted.

Forty-nine state have balanced budget amendments, which, if applied to the federal government, would prevent Congress from running any kind of annual deficit. Such proposals often lead to steep spending cuts in the states when tax revenue drops. Supporters say such a requirement is the only way to force legislatures to make tough decisions about cutting programs.
.
Of course, this only works if they'll follow the law. We have a balanced budget here in NC, but it's been years since it actually happened. But no one screams loud enough to get the budget straightened out, so it goes on, and on, and on.
.
This is a great idea, but I'll not be holding my breath.

Well, now – THIS explains EVERYTHING!

~
“[In the New Testament] Paul was actually writing about heterosexuals who engage in same-sex acts and not homosexuals,” said the Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church.

~~
~~
~~
AH! So same-sex sex is only a sin if you are a heterosexual.
Whoa! Who knew!!!????

Uh... I'm speechless.

Next they'll be saying only white people can be racist. Oh, wait...

Friday Funnies!

Another case of separated at birth??

F/U EU, I gotta fix da BCS!! Gotta help the GLAADS, so back off Mo Fos!!

.
I'm guessing the honeymoon is now totally over between Our Fearless Leader and Europe. President BOHICA has decided to skip the annual EU - US Forums. I'm thinking that pesky BCS thing that's been bugging him or maybe he's trying to get Izak Mizrahi to join the Marines as a test case of openly gay people in the military?
.
But...weren't the Europeans madly in love with this guy? Wasn't he the Anti-Bush and they just grovelled in his presence? What happened? Could it be that they too have glimpsed the man behind the curtain, and he ain't the all powerful OZ!?
.
UPDATE: I had an odd thought on Obama and the EU. Maybe they're planning changing the HS History books to start, on November 4th 2008!! Then, they can ignore EVERYTHING that happened, before Our Fearless Leader ascended the throne! What a schmuck.

American History begins in 1877!!

.
At least that's the new proposal for the NC High School curriculum.
.
The state's on-going curriculum review hits all subjects but it's the proposed changes for high school students learning social studies that have provoked fears. Under the new guidelines, students will graduate without learning enough about world history and key parts of American history including Abraham Lincoln, westward expansion or much else that happened before 1877 when Reconstruction ended, critics say.
.
Skip the Founding Fathers, The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War, and Reconstruction. Is that all? And the School Board wonders why parents stay in their ass all the time.

PC Run Amuck. Again!

Staten Island is one of NYC's five boroughs, (counties) and is the only place in the entire city that tends to be conservative. It's made up of middle-class working families, with many of the city's cops and firemen living there. But, like the rest of the country, it seems the hideous virus known as political correctness has managed to slither into this well-kept, and well-run community. When PC starts to come in, common sense is pushed aside, as in this case.

Once again, as is becoming all too common, we see some "Edu-Nazi" political hack put in charge of a public school and turning it into her own concentration camp. The principle in this story proves a point i've been making for a long time. Being educated is not the same as being smart. In fact, far from it. If i know the people of Staten Island, the lawyers are already gearing up for battle, and in this case, rightfully so...

Unless I missed a post, on February 6th, it will be a year since we last heard from / talked to our founder. Does no one have an avenue for contacting her?

Katie Cutiepie going down, in flames

.
This is hilarious to me, the empty headed "C" has failed. Her act is over, her 15 minutes is UP!!
.
With a little more than a year to go on her contract, Katie Couric is dressing up her resumé.

The CBS anchor, now 53, is facing a huge pay cut in her unprecedented $15 million-a-year salary.

More importantly, her bosses at CBS have not yet said whether they want to keep her — at any price.
.
Hey, I thought she was going to drag them out of the doldrums? I thought she WAS the answer to Dan 'friggin' Rather having gone off the deep end? But it never happened!!!
.
BWAAAHAHAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAaaaaaaaa.....

Next Stop, The SCOTUS?

While the American people have been distracted by two major wars, the collapse of our economy, the nationalization of private companies, (ala Venezuela and N. Korea) and a White House and Congress doing everything in their power to totally dismantle everything this country ever stood for, there have been "many" quiet, under the radar, moves made by this WH. Many of those moves include placing their radical followers into positions of great power and influence within the government. No one really knows how many of these radicals have been placed, but by all accounts, the number is very large.

Just last week, i read an article by a former, long serving, and highly-experienced DOJ attorney. I say former, because he resigned. Under pressure. He gave the reason for his resignation as being due to the large number of Leftist radicals being placed in positions of great power within the DOJ. Of course, these people were put there by the WH, and with Comrade Obummer's boy Eric Holder's full approval. Among the many examples he gave of what these radicals were doing at DOJ, was the infamous Black Panther case, where "armed" members of the Black Panthers, using violence and intimidation, were "observed and video taped" violating the voting rights of dozens of people who they felt were not going to vote for Obummer. In fact, one of the people they threw to the ground was a black civil rights attorney, who confirmed all the accounts of violence. That case simply "went away".

The Marxist in the Oval Office is also quietly filling lots of court seats with his radical worshippers, as this article shows. As i said during the campaign, the radical Left would love to get their hands on the WH, but their #1 target is the SCOTUS, and other high-level courts. The reason is obvious. What the president and congress do can be reversed. What the SCOTUS does cannot! The questions that really bother me are; how many are there? How deeply have they been embedded? And can we ever root them out before they destroy the country?

Another case: Too much time on their hands

.
No links, what's the point? OK veterans, I'll show you mine, if you'll...
.
In October 1977, I joined Uncle Sugar's Big Grey Canoe Club. For those of you not aware of '60s street slang, that's the U.S. Navy. From my arrival at the airport in Orlando FL, for boot camp, I was aware of gays, homosexuals, queers, lesbians, dikes, etc, among the Naval personnel, new and old. I do not remember anyone questioning it, or mentioning it. Other than the typical, dumbass, macho jerks who always mention it. Most of whom I expect are wrestling with their own leanings.
.
I can think of no duty station to which I was attached, where there were NO GLAAD people. It just never happened. I spent a week, on TAD orders once working on a tugboat, with a 6 person crew. The boat captain was an old, female bosuns mate chief, who was an old fashioned bull dike, lesbian. And? None of her permanent crew cared, why, should, I? I'm sure, as within civilian life, there were MORE who were less obvious about their sexual preferences, and who kept it hidden. I know of two instances where sailors with families traded wives and families AFTER becoming pile party partners, where sexual actions crossed heterosexual lines. I'll go so far as to say that my life experience tells me that there were gays in the military as long ago as 1947. I had an uncle, who left my aunt, and two small daughters in NYC, to move to San Francisco, in the mid '50s, and it wasn't for the sourdough bread!! He joined the Army Air Corps in 1947, so that makes 52 years at least, where bi-sexual men were in uniform.

Having said all that, would someone PUHlease tell me of even ONE situation where force cohesiveness, or unit effectiveness was affected by any of this?! How is it that guys giving head causes their trigger finger, or radar scope reading abilities to be disabled? Why would women liking women keep them from being good tank mechanics, x-ray technicians or drill sergeants? Show me proof.

Hey, we're fighting two wars currently, and we have to stay focused on that. IMHO, this latest round of foolishness over gays in the military is designed by the Obamanites to take our mind off the tasks at hand. Amadmaninajacket, and his cohorts fired a satellite into orbit overnight. It could conceivably carry nuclear weapons next. Radical Islamofascists worldwide have sworn a death oath to kill us and imprison our children. China owns more of our country than do we right now.

And somebody in D.C. decided that THE biggest headache to our military today is whether two guys in uniform might sleep together?! Give me a break would you. I'd rather see gays willingly join the military than see ANY draft re-instituted. Someone who wants to do "X" job will invariably do a better job than someone forced to do "X" job.
.
This is another one of those areas where MY personal beliefs tread on those of someone else uselessly, if I push the issue. There are no historically accurate or accountable times when gays weren't in the military, those of us who were there know it, and there are no viable accounts of it being a problem.
.
And just for the record, I've never attended a segregated school either, so I don't understand racism either. I'm Catholic by birth and schooling, but haven't planned on burning any Jews or Protestants at the stake. I guess at the heart of it, I'm willing to accept anyone for their own personal beliefs and actions, instead of grouping them and rubber stamping them. Am I twisted or what!?
